You can pull me under,
I will not come up for anyone


"No, I said I'd take him in!" Naruto exclaimed frustratedly as he paced back and forth in front of Tsunade's desk.

Tsunade gave him a pitying look that made Naruto's blood boil.

"Your apartment is too small to house two people, Naruto. Stop acting like a child and think about this rationally!" Tsunade snapped, slamming a fist onto her desk.

"I am thinking about this rationally!" Naruto yelled, pausing in front of Tsunade's desk.
"I need to take care of him!"

Tsunade sighed and rubbed her temples with her index fingers.
"How do you propose to do that?"

"Give me a new apartment. A bigger one fit for two people." Naruto suddenly said, his eyes wide and bright.

"Where are you going to get the money for that?" Tsunade inquired, fed up with arguing with Naruto.

"I'll take on more A rank missions." Naruto said, bracing his hands on the desk before leaning forward.

"Don't be stupid." Tsunade scoffed, "You're going to be too busy with A rank missions to look after Sasuke. You're obviously not thinking about this logically, so I suggest you go home and get some rest. You haven't left the hospital since Sasuke was admitted."

Naruto looked at her with pain in his eyes, as if just thinking about leaving Sasuke's side caused him physical and mental distress.

"I- I can't," Naruto stuttered. "He needs me." There was a certain sort desperation in his voice that startled Tsunade.

Are you sure it's not the other way around?
