A/N: Hello, I am so very sorry this is so late. I gave my dad my computer so it can be checked for any problems that need to be fixed, I gave it to him on March 10 and he said it would take two days but instead it took almost or more than three weeks. When I did get it back I wrote one paragraph before I got bored of writing it, then the parts came in to fix the hinges and I didn't have it for two days. I am truly sorry for the late update, I finished writing it on my computer on March 23, 2016.

I started writing this in my notebook in my third hour Algebra 2A class on January 28, 2016. I hope you enjoy this chapter even if it is very late.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto just the characters that are not in the show.

Chapter Nine: Revealing Court

Naruto's POV

When I woke up I realized I was lying my head on Sasukes' chest and that today is the day I'm to head to the court house to join Sasukes' family and hopefully get Emmy and Mariah arrested. It has been a month since I agreed to it, a week since the wounds on my back scarred instead of healed. Sasukes' family didn't want to schedule a trial date until I was cleared to sleep on my back, I tensed when I felt Sasuke move so I moved my head off his chest and sat up.

"Seems you're awake, how'd you sleep?" I heard Sasuke say as his eyes fluttered open revealing his foggy black eyes "very well and you?" I asked as Sasuke sat up. "Same as you, what time is it?" I heard him say and I looked at the clock to see that it was 10 a.m. "10 a.m." I said and he nodded before getting up and going to his dresser. "Come on Naruto don't you also have to get dressed" I heard him say and I nodded as I got off the bed and headed to the dresser that has a few of the clothes Sasuke got me after I left the hospital.

I picked out a black shirt with a single orange strip on the sleeves and orange cargo pants, when I finished I saw that Sasuke was wearing a dark blue sailor shirt and black skinny jeans. We walked downstairs when we heard Mrs. Uchiha call us down for breakfast before we had to head to the courthouse for Emmy and Mariah who probably weren't even in the country anymore. When we reached the dining room I saw that I was sitting diagonally from Sasuke near Mr. Uchiha who seemed to have a malicious aura about him today.

I sat down and saw that everyone but myself was dressed in formal clothing, Mrs. Uchiha was wearing a dark blue sleeved dress that reaches her knees (1). Mr. Uchiha was wearing a black button-down shirt with dark blue slacks and black leather Enlentni shoes, Itachi was wearing a black business suit (2) with a bright red tie and a dark blue shirt. Deidara was wearing a red chiffon batwing top, black slacks, and red wedged heels (3) to keep his gender a secret, they didn't look at all bad on him either.

I didn't talk for all about twenty minutes until Mr. Uchiha asked something that made everyone but myself yell at him "it's fine everyone, I don't mind doing chores around the house while I stay here, it's no different than the chores Emmy and Mariah give me" I said smiling. "Did you have a pool and yard to clean as well?" I heard Mrs. Uchiha ask and I didn't mind answering her question "when Emmy's corporation ran out of staff I had to clean the pool and when Mariah's park restoration company ran out of helpers I had to clean every inch of Chlorophyll Park" I said before I continued. "So your yard shouldn't be too hard" I finished still smiling but it dropped when I opened my eyes to see the astonishment in their eyes and on their faces "what's wrong? You're all quiet" I asked concerned for them.

"Those are not chores Naruto" I heard Itachi say which confused me since I know that "I know, everyday chores for me are; cleaning the house top to bottom, cleaning the pipes, checking the water heater, AC, and electrical boxes after school" I said and everything went quiet again. I looked at the clock and noticed we have and hour left before we have to leave to the courthouse "do you need any help with the chores before we leave?" I asked Mrs. Uchiha who shook her head and said that there isn't much to clean at the moment. "What is there to do here before we leave?" I asked and everyone looked at each other before Itachi spoke.

"There's TV and laptops" I heard him answer and that confused me "and that is?" I asked receiving shock looks in return. "That's very funny Naruto, so which one?" I heard Itachi say so I gave him a confused look "I really don't know what you're talking about" I said which made everyone stop their versions of a laugh. "How do you do your homework Naruto?" I heard Deidara ask and I shrugged before I answered "I had tons of research books in my room, I used those" I said leaving the table shocked again.

"What did you do for fun?" I heard Mrs. Uchiha ask and I had to think before I actually answered "um that would be… read, write, recite, sing, stare at walls, sleep, clean, and if I'm lucky I got to the gas station" I said surprising them. "Why are you guys so shocked/surprised? This is why I want to try and get them arrested, so they can't do this to others" I said making them nod solemnly "well we wasted fifteen minutes talking, what else is there? Unless you want to talk more which I don't mind" I said smiling. "What are you intending to do for a job or are you going to college?" I heard Mr. Uchiha ask and I shrugged "I love to sing and write however… what do you intend to do Sasuke?" I said not wanting to tell them yet.

"Umm… that would be criminal law" he answered me and I smiled "you're very lucky Sasuke, you know what you want to be" I said cheerfully as I looked at him, he gave me an odd smile which confused me. "Well I'll go start the car" I heard Itachi say and I smiled since that broke the strange silence that overcame the table when Sasuke smiled that smile. "Can I go with you? I've only been outside for clothes shopping" I asked him and he smiled before nodding, I got up happily and followed him out the door.

As soon as I did a warbler landed on my shoulder and chirped happily surprising Itachi with this "hello little one, how are you today?" I asked her and she chirped worriedly. "What happened to worry you?" I asked her and she flapped her wings until she fluttered over my shoulder and bobbed her head a specific direction "Itachi, I'll be right back" I said and he nodded blankly. I followed the female warbler and found her on a tall tree branch looking down and chirping sadly, I looked to where she was looking and saw a brown nest there, I walked to it and saw three young warblers chirping fearfully.

"Do you want me to put your nest back?" I asked her causing her to chirp happily making a nodding motion with her head, I picked her nest up with one hand careful not to harm or touch the warblers as I climbed the tree with one arm. As I reached the tree branch the mother warbler was on she moved back and I placed the nest carefully on the branch where she was not so long ago. She chirped happily as she flew to her young "I'm glad I could help you" I said and she chirped a happy reply as she started feeding her young, I climbed down careful not to hurt myself in the process of doing so.

When I got down I turned around and saw Sasuke standing a few feet away from me, he was smiling at me so I smiled back noticing that he saw everything that I did earlier. "So you can understand animals?" he asked me and I laughed with him from that assumption "no, but you can understand what they're trying to say from their voice and actions" I said and he gave me a confused look. "If they're worried they sound worried, if they're happy they sound happy, etc." I said and he nodded like he understood and I'm quite sure he did "Naruto, where'd you go? I was worried" I heard Deidara say when we reached the car and I scratched the back of my head smiling sheepishly before I spoke.

"I was helping a mother warblers offspring that fell out of a tree this morning" I said and Itachi and Deidara let out a sigh, after that I was told to get into the car so I did, I sat next to Itachi and Sasuke while Sasuke parents sat up front and Deidara sat in the middle section which was odd to me. "When did you learn you could understand animals?" I heard Deidara ask me so I cast my eyes up at him before I looked back down because Mr. Uchiha was glaring at me. "U-Um that would be when I was three" I said and felt many smiles directed at me before there was a resounding slap coming from Mrs. Uchiha and a verbal warning about being mean to Sasukes friend.

The ride to the Court house was quiet until 'Wind' by Marked was heard through the radio speakers "could you change the station Mr. or Mrs. Uchiha?" I asked gaining the predetermined odd looks from everyone "why is that dear? Do you not like this song?" Mrs. Uchiha asked me and I looked down before I answered. "I do like their songs…" 'I have no choice but to' I said in my head before I continued "but I listen to Marked way too often to be healthy" I said and she agreed enough to change it. This time 'Of These Chains' by Red came on and I sang along softly so they wouldn't hear, after the song ended we had arrived at the court house which relieved me partially.

We all got out and headed inside, I was surprised to see how many actually came: I saw my friends, Maron and his sister, the schools' staff, Teuchi and Ayame from Ichiraku, and the mates with the Infinity Marks. I walked in with the rest and was told to sit next to Shikamarus' father who was ironically a lawyer and more specifically my lawyer. "Hello Mr. Nara" I greeted as he waved to me "greetings Naruto, please sit down" he said and I obeyed sitting down in the seat next to him.

"Where's the proof you have for the trial?" he asked me and I shrugged before I answered him "it's not concrete or descent so it may not be liable" I said and saw him nod lightly with an almost invisible smile. "As long as it's something we can work with it's fine" he told me and I nodded, as soon as I said that Takuto Uryuu walked up to the podium even though the judge is supposed to be Kuro Aki. "Well let's get this court under way" Takuto said and I sighed annoyed because I just remembered why he's here "Shikaku Nara your charge Naruto Uzumaki has appeared today to transfer his guardians from Emmy and Mariah Pins to Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha, is that correct?" Takuto said and Mr. Nara nodded.

"You are also here to see if they can be arrested?" I heard Takuto say and saw Mr. Nara nod making Takuto sigh "very well, Naruto please come to the front of the podium" I heard Takuto say and I followed obediently. When I stood in front of Takuto and the podium he made me promise on a book of laws that had the leaf insignia on the cover that I will tell the complete truth, and I agreed since I have no reason to lie. "What age did you fall under the Pins family's protection?" I heard him say and a cringed at the word "I was seven" I said simply hoping he won't ask anything I can't answer.

"What happened to your previous guardians?" he asked me and I gulped "th-they died" I said cursing myself for stuttering "how?" he asked and I could not answer that. "Is this relevant?" I asked and he smirked "no, do you have any proof that the Pins family is dangerous in any way?" he asked and I took a deep breath before I spoke. "It'll be indecent" I said and heard a variety of murmurs from behind me but I was only focused on Takuto who held a glimmer of childish playfulness in his eyes "show me the proof and I will decide that" he said and I could tell he was daring me to do so.

"I'll concede to your dare Takuto" I said under my breath but I know a few had heard me, I grabbed the bottom of my shirt and pulled it over my head showing everyone the scars. I heard gasps as I turned around in a 360 degree angle so Takuto could see the multiple scars on my chest, abs, back as well as the burn on my chest, I also heard murmuring from behind me because of it. "What do the scars mean?" Takuto asked me and I flinched at the glimmer in his eyes "which one do you want to know about?" I asked and he showed a small smirk since he knows what will happen if I do that.

"All of them in order" he said and I winced "the 'DIE' with an arrow pointing to my throat means that's what they want me to do" I said earning murmurs of most likely doubt or shock. "'Traitor' after Susan and Akiras' death" I continued feeling a familiar sensation crawl its way up my throat before I swallowed it down to continue "'Nuisance' for playing music or reciting poetry" I said but I wasn't done. "'Cursed' because I am, 'Demon because I was cursed by one" I said finally coughing up blood "Naruto are you okay?" I heard Itachi, Deidara, Sasuke, and Mr. Nara ask from behind me.

"I still have four more punishment consequences to explain so I'm fine" I said hearing odd gasps from almost everyone again 'plus there are more walls left' I added silently before I continued. "'Weakling' for winning against Mariah" I said hearing murmurs of I think agitation but I wasn't sure so I continued knowing a wall was going to break soon "'Killer' the same reason for 'Traitor'" I said before I heard Takuto tell someone at the door to get tissues. "The four scars around my ribcage represents my room since that's where my heart and lungs are that keep me alive" I said before I continued "a burn in the shape of a broken heart is because that's how Emmy felt when her sister, Susan, died" I said earning gasps again.

'What is up with their continuous gasping? It's getting annoying' I thought to myself as Takuto asked my most recent scar even though he knows I wasn't finished, I turned around and showed him my DISSAPOINTMENT scar across my shoulder blades and earning more annoying gasps from the crowd. "Explain this scar Uzumaki" I heard Takuto ask so I turned around to be met with his smirking face and a man holding out a tissue box that I reluctantly agreed to take. "You know what will happen if I do that Takuto" I said earning shocked gasps from the crowd which oddly enough weren't annoying this time "I don't mind blood Naruto and you know that now explain and I'll get the Pins family arrested" he said but I knew he was lying.

"That isn't your intention Takuto and you know it, but I'll explain anyway since there's no reason why I can't" I said getting a growl from Takuto "DISSAPOINTMENT is the most recent scar I got for not getting the mate they told me to" I said feeling blood crawling up my throat again choking me so I had no choice but to cough. I grabbed a tissue from its container and I coughed, well more like hacked, into the tissue removing it from my mouth to see it covered in blood, I also felt a warm liquid below my ears, eyes, and nose. I used the tissues to clean up the blood before I heard someone yell "why are you smirking? This isn't a time to be smirking you jerk!" was what I heard and I turned around to see that Tsunade had a fist in the air and was being held back by Jiraiya.

"I'm fine Mrs. Tsunade there's no point in arguing or starting a fight" I told her and she looked at me confused before Mr. Nara asked what I was talking about earlier. "When I was nine I heard Emmy and Mariah talking to a 'judge' named Takuto Uryuu" I said confusing them "they informed him of my curse and said that he was going to be the judge if I ever thought of getting them arrested" I said before I turned to Takuto who nodded. "Yes but that was if your mate or mates family cared about you enough to do so, I was just a last resort" he told the court "and I'll sign the documents to get them arrested and your guardian transfer, however the arrest will be next to impossible because…" Takuto tried to say before I finished for him.

"In one of their safe houses in this country or another due to their illegal child smuggling ring" I finished making many people gasp in shock before mumbling under their breath. "How would you know about that? Oh well there's no proof so I can only sign for the domestic abuse, court dismissed" he answered hitting the gable on the podium twice before leaving. I put my shirt back on as I turned around to meet shocked and angry expressions before I was enveloped in an embrace consisting of Tsunade, Iruka, Gai, Lee, Temari, Anko, Kurenai, and Sasuke.

"Are you okay Naruto?" I heard Tsunade, Jiraiya, Iruka, Kakashi, Gaara, Hinata, Sasuke, Deidara, and Itachi ask at the same time which made me laugh "I'm fine, I told you guys that earlier" I said after I stopped laughing and saw their serious expressions. "Are you sure? Are you light headed? Blurry vision? Limbs still working?" Tsunade asked and I nodded hearing her sigh in relief before my head was almost crushed under the grip of her right hand. "Tsunade that hurts" I complained and she glowered at me lightly before she spoke "I won't have a reason to do so if you stopped scaring us" she told me and I smiled at her making her let go.

Third Person POV

After receiving the form that states Naruto is officially under custody of the Uchiha family they headed back to the house to properly welcome Naruto to his new home, but because Mr. Uchiha had to work on finding Emmy and Mariah due to the statement Naruto and Takuto had given in court, he wasn't present. The gathering still went well and Naruto became close to a few of Sasukes' family members and vice versa making Naruto extremely happy even with the small amount of tension from Mrs. Uchiha. In the end Naruto was placed in Sasukes' room and none of the family members could be happier with the arrangement.
