I apologize for the long wait. I managed to find the motivation to actually type all of this. Still debating whether to put SasuNaru in the next chapter or not. I hope you enjoy this chapter! Naruto's secret is no more! Awww snap hold onto your seats! ;)

CHAPTER 9

Naruto shoved the doors open to the Konoha Agency with Iruka close behind. The blonde forced Iruka to take the stairs. He was glad Iruka didn't say anything. He wasn't in the mood to be argued with. Naruto felt his anger bubble up as he neared their floor. He pushed open the door and went straight for the conference room. The blinds were already drawn so no one would see them. Once Naruto stepped inside he went straight for Sasuke. Iruka quickly closed the door behind them. Naruto shoved Sasuke back and gripped onto his collar pushing him against the wall.

"What the hell did I say!" Naruto's grip was strong.

"Naruto I tol-"

"Shut up!" Naruto yelled in his face. His gripped tightened and his fierce eyes narrowed. Jirya put a hand on Naruto's shoulder.

"Naruto stop." Jiraiya pulled on him. The blonde let go and turned to Jiraiya then pulled out the USB and shoved it into Jiraiya's hand. He sat down next to where Tsunade was standing. Sasuke pulled on the bottom of his shirt to straighten it out. The look in Naruto's eyes, Sasuke saw it again. Fear.

"Sasuke we'll start with what you have to say." Tsunade motioned for him to sit across from Naruto. Naruto didn't look at him. The blonde eyes were fixed on a spot on the carpet.

"Well I've had bad experiences with partners and I had a friend of mine look into him. He found the files. After someone from the ANBU agency warned him we decided not to go any further. Sai on the other hand continued."

Tsunade shook her head, "Naruto?"

"You're not going to like what's in those files." Naruto's voice was quiet. Sasuke could tell it was partly fear. Sasuke had never felt that type of fear. Tsunade opened her laptop and pulled down the white screen. She plugged the USB drive in. She clicked around a few times and opened the files. She focused the projector lens. There were several reports and cases. "I was kidnaped by Akatsuki. They wanted intel on my father. I haven't seen him since I was sixteen. He was working as a double agent and Akatsuki found out. He dropped off the face of the Earth. I got these scars from two men in particular. Deidara and Tobi the ones that Kidnaped Sai. I'm not sure how I got free or how I managed to kill two of them but I did."

"You killed two of them?" Tsunade started clicking on the file cases. One had pictures of Naruto and his injuries. There were stitches on Naruto's face, black eyes, and bruises on his chest and back. The next were photos of the two Akatsuki members. One had spiked hair beside him laid a large sword his skin was tinted blue. He had been stabbed several times. The other was an orange haired man. He looked a little older than Naruto and Sasuke. He had piercings all over his face. There was video recordings too. She would avoid those until she Naruto wasn't present. Tsunade clicked on the report. Naruto had never read the report. He was never allowed to read it. The report was titled : Akatsuki Incident Report.

Naruto Uzumaki was detained by agents Deidara, Tobi, Pein, and Kisame. Other members absent. Agent Uzumaki did not divulge any information on his father. The Akatsuki agents continued on with their methods. Uzumaki managed to break free. Agent Kisame died with multiple stab wounds. Agent Pein died from internal bleeding and blunt force head trauma. Refer to video record. These ANBU special force agents will be missed and privately honored. Report shall be off record.

Akatsuki…ANBU agents. Naruto felt his stomach drop. What the hell! How could they do that? The room was silent with shock. Akatsuki was created by the ANBU agency. Naruto felt like he was going to pass out. They played him, they tortured him, he had killed two fellow agents!

"Jiraiya quickly make copies of these!" she pulled out the USB and gave it to him. He nodded and quickly left the room, "Naruto are you ok?" she looked at him with concern. He gave her a little nod. "Naruto you can't be alone from now on." he didn't say anything, "Naruto?"

"I'm sorry." he said softly he felt the world slowly spinning out of control, "I'm putting you all in danger."

"Naruto this is my fault." Sasuke countered.

"Would you both shut up! This is what we do, we solve things. I'm here to protect you like you're here to protect the citizens of Konoha and you're fellow agents. Now listen Jiraiya is making copies as we speak. We are going to put the copy back into the storage unit. We'll have someone tip them off. We'll expose them Naruto, but we have to make sure you're safe first. The both of you will be laying low." Naruto was relieved to hear that except for the part where she wanted him to lay low.

"Lay low…you know I don't do that." Naruto shook his head.

"Naruto…" she knew he wasn't going to go for it, "You have to lay low. The both of you will go to one of the safe houses. You'll work your differences out while you're there too. What's happened has happened."

Sasuke knew Naruto would protest further. The blonde surely didn't want to be In the same house with Sasuke. Would Naruto retaliate against him when they were alone? The raven haired agent wanted to make it up to Naruto. He wasn't sure anything could make up for what he had done to Naruto. Naruto was betrayed by his own agency Sasuke couldn't even begin to imagine what that felt like. What Naruto had to do to survive that torture make Sasuke sick.

"I'm not laying low." Naruto was angry. His dizziness had faded.

"Naruto it's for your own good." Tsunade crossed her arms.

"What good does hiding do?"

"Don't argue with me Uzumaki." her voice was stern.

"Or what?" Naruto stood up to leave. He felt a sharp pinch on his neck. He turned his head to see a syringe being pulled away. He shoved whoever was being him. "What the hell was that?" Naruto's dizziness quickly came back.

"Sorry Naruto…" Jiraiya stood at a careful distance.

"You…yuh..old…hag." Naruto fought the sleepiness and the weakness in his legs. He gripped onto the table. He was fearful of what may great him when he closes his eyes. Naruto dropped to one knee. This was hard for Sasuke to watch. Naruto was giving it all he had to fight this off. "Damn it…" Naruto's voice cracked. The blonde fell over onto the floor before he closed his eyes and said one more thing, "my pills." The Naruto fell into darkness.

"Shit. We'll have to grab his medication."

"You've got to be kidding me Tsunade!" Jiraiya looked at her in disbelief. How could she fail to mention something like this? He had probably trapped Naruto in a nightmare.

"If I may…" a voice cut in.

"Iruka!" Tsunade had completely forgotten about him. He had been so quite throughout this whole thing.

"If the ANBU created Akatsuki what's their end goal? I mean they're pedaling drugs, weapons, and making smaller gangs…I'm not sure how this all ties together."

"Money?" Jiraiya suggested.

"Money and they get to solve the cases. They could set people up and they couldn't say a god damn thing about it because of blackmail." Tsunade threw her theory out there.

"We've got to dig deeper we need motive." Iruka looked at the three of them.

"We'll figure that out in time." She ran a hand through her blonde hair.

Sasuke was in shock. Everything had happened so fast. His heart was racing. He had caused this, this was his fault and now Naruto was in danger. Sai had almost been killed. What's to stop Naruto from beating the shit out of him when they're alone.

"Did you make copies?" Tsunade looked at Jiraiya. He nodded.

"Sasuke?" Tsunade's voice was stern again. He looked at her. "Don't go crying like a baby. You're a Konoha Agent. You chose this you deal with it. You need to work together with Naruto. There's a reason I paired you two up." She moved a strand of hair out of her face, "Sasuke get your things together. You have less than an hour. No electronics." Sasuke nodded and got up. "I'll come get you when the times up." He nodded again and left for his office.

"I knew Naruto was going to fight this." Jiraiya shook his head as he pulled the blonde up into one of the chairs. Naruto's head lulled to one side.

"He's just like his father. " Iruka smiled at her comment. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Things were going to get messy. What was becoming of Konoha city?
