Chapter 6: Duvet

"Tsunade-sama!!! The spies from Oto have come back!!"

The Godaime looked up from document on his table. He frowned at Shizune. "So? What are you waiting for? Call them! Inform Kakashi's team!"

"Hai, Tsunade-sama!"

The medical nin felt her heart beating faster. She hoped they had found a way to save Naruto. After Oto caught Naruto, Tsunade never felt the same. How she missed the loud mouth ninja. She missed the annoying voice from him. She missed how he always called her old hag.

"Hokage-sama."

Tsunade looked at the door and greeted the girls. "Ino, Moegi."

"Tsunade-sama!!!" Sakura yelled and ran to the hokage's room with Sai and Kakashi behind her. "How's Naruto? Is he okay? He… Nothing happened to him, right? Please, tell me he's okay? How's he?!!"

"Calm down, Sakura." The godaime spoke calmly although she felt the same as the pink-haired kunoichi. "Speak, Ino, Moegi."

Ino nodded and started first. "Oto castle has awesome guards. It was very hard for us to sneak in. We almost got caught once. We got information about Naruto on the fifth day. But we got to meet him at the eighth day."

Moegi continued her senpai, "We met a strange man. He seemed has high rank. But, he kind of helped us."

"Helped you? How could it possible?" Tsunade asked. It was strange, extremely strange.

"Well," Moegi said, "He gave us some clue. He told us where Naruto-nii-chan chamber was. Not directly, but he gave us some hints."

Tsunade nodded. "Continue."

"When I called him 'my lord', he said, don't call him like that because that's how we suppose to call his father. But he didn't sound doubting us. Instead he just warned me to remember that. It was like he helped us not to say anything suspicious to other people."

Tsunade frowned slightly. She said calmly, "His father? So you have met Orochimaru's heir."

Sakura shook her head, "But… It's impossible! If he's the heir, what was his reason to help us? Surely he'll choose his father instead helping some spies."

Ino spoke suddenly, "Hokage-sama, that man was wearing a symbol. It was a fan with red and white colors."

"What?!" Kakashi shouted. His uncovered eyes widened in shock. "It can't be…"

Sai frowned, "Why?"

Sakura spoke quietly, "Uchiha clan."

oOo

Uchiha Sasuke wasn't a good child. Sure, he would make any parents proud. He was a genius. He was strong. He was the greatest ninja ever. He had never lost to anyone since he became ninja. So why he wasn't a good child? He was handsome. He had manners. His voice was nice to hear. He was perfect. But what was the reason we couldn't call him a good child?

It was because he never loved anyone.

He didn't love his parent.

Hell, he didn't love anyone.

Never ever.

But then again, Orochimaru was his father. His father never loved anyone other than himself. So, of course, his son followed his steps. He never taught his son about love, because he never felt it too. Other than his love to power, of course.

Orochimaru was sitting on his throne as always. A bottle of red wine placed on the table beside him. He smiled sweetly to the opened door. "Ah, Sasuke, my son."

The said name bowed. "Father, how are you?"

"Ah, fine, fine, as usual." Orochimaru smirked. He took a glass and poured the wine. He sipped the wine calmly before looked at the Uchiha again, "Are you here to inform me something about Konoha?"

"Yes, father." The Uchiha nodded, "The prisoner has told me valuable information about Konoha's defense."

Orochimaru laughed cruelly. His body shook through the laugh. "Great job, as always. Tell me."

Sasuke bowed. He told Orochimaru about guards in Konoha, the weaknesses of the said village, the hole in that village's almost perfect defense. In the end, a wide smirk plastered in the snake master's face, "Good, very good indeed. I shall give you a reward."

Sasuke bowed, never once let emotion slip trough his face. "Thank you, father."

"Do you have any request, Sasuke?"

Sasuke looked at his father in the eye. He bowed again before spoke calmly. "Actually, father, I do have a favor to ask."

oOo

Naruto leaned to the wall. His blond bangs covered his eyes. He wore nothing as he had no visitor since Sasuke. He breathed softly, thinking what could happen to him next. When Moegi and Ino came, he felt that there was a hope for him to leave that place. But, could they save him? After all, Oto ninjas weren't a bunch of fools. They were strong. Sasuke was strong.

Sasuke.

His thought always landed on Sasuke. If he leaved Oto, he couldn't see Sasuke anymore.

"Stupid thought," Naruto murmured.

Sasuke.

Naruto felt like a fool. Confessed his love exactly after Sasuke rape him. And since when did he love that bastard? And why did he love him? After all the things that he had done to him, after hundreds punches and kicks that landed on his body, after Sasuke took away his innocent, why did he love him?

His thought snapped when the door opened. A girl with red hair walked in. She wore a glasses and gray kimono. She smiled at him and spoke, "Hello, Naruto. My name is Karin.'

oOo

"Uchiha clan…"

Ino and Moegi looked at each other before realization dawned.

"Ah, so that's why I felt I've seen that symbol," Ino spoke softly, "Uchiha. The Anbu's founder. That symbol placed in Anbu's building, How could I forget it!"

"But, it's impossible!" Sakura frowned, "The Uchiha has been destroyed 12 years ago in a massacre."

Tsunade's eyes narrowed, "Do you know his name?"

"Sasuke, that's what he told us." Said Moegi.

Kakashi grabbed Moegi's shoulder, his eyes wide in shock, "Are you sure?! Are you sure he is Sasuke?!"

"Calm down, Kakashi," Tsunade spoke calmly although she seemed as shock as Kakashi, "I understand your feelings but please calm down."

The copy nin released the frightened Moegi. He bowed at the godaime, "I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, Moegi."

Sai spoke calmly, "Who's this Sasuke?"

Kakashi looked at his former student and said, "He was a prodigy. He could beat a chuunin when he only 5. People believed he'll be the strongest ninja ever."

Moegi gaped at the explanation, "Beat a chuunin? Unbelieveable!"

Kakashi's eyes soften when he spoke softly, "It's true. I saw it with my own eyes."

No one spoke at the time. Uncomfortable silent filled the room before Ino spoke again.

"Everyone, we have to tell you something." The blonde glanced at Moegi who nodded encouragingly, "After we spoke to Naruto, that man, Sasuke, came to Naruto's chamber and he…"

Her voice trembling, tears flowed on her cheek. Sakura touched her shoulder, "He what?"

Moegi looked at her senior who cried silently. She closed her eyes and then spoke calmly, "He raped Naruto."

oOo

okay, I know this is short and cliffie.

What is Sasuke's request?

Why does Karin come to Naruto?

And what Naruto's friends reaction about the news?

Evil me.

I'm so sorry, but I don't feel like writing. Not my best chapter and I realize there are many mistakes but I feel the urge to update today so…
