Chapter 14 A Spark

"Shit." Thought Temari as she saw all the leaf ninjas who were manning the wall. Normally whenever ninjas have to respond to a police action such as a riot it is standing order to use less than deadly force at all costs. Normally this takes the form of harden rubber kunai or pepper/tear gas. However the Leaf ANBU wasn't following those orders as the glint of the metal kunai bounced off the noon day sun. They were aiming to kill not subduing.

"Fire!" yelled the ANBU captain as the dozens of men and women under his command threw their metal kunai straight toward Temari. Temari's mind raced as she thought about what to do, she could block most of them with a justu but not all and it only took one to kill her. She could easily dodge the attack and save her life but the kunai would still hit the rioting people behind her.

"If I move they die and if I don't I die." Thought Temari as she ran though hand signs to try to block the flying kunai however before she could finish the hand signs dozens of black spikes shot out of the ground forming a makeshift wall around Temari. Temari smiled as all the kunai fell to the ground, she turned her head to see Shikamaru standing there. Coming out from under him was dozens of large shadow lines came off him.

"Nice move little boy." said Temari as she looked at her fiancée standing there using his clan's justu to protect her.

"You're welcome now move." ordered Shikamaru as Temari moved out of the way as the Leaf forces switched from kunai to pepper bombs and tear gas. Explosions came one after another as a two massive clouds began to engulf the riots, one of the clouds was bright red and the other was white. The red one was a massive amount of pepper gas and a white one of pure tear gas. The gas attack caused almost everyone to run, a few did try to stay in the fight but they were forced back. As the citizens where trying to breath and find a safe place more ANBU and jonin where arriving on the scene. While some lined the walls others where forming up along the base of the wall as they prepared to storm the area and restrain all who got in their way.

"Alright everyone prepare to move out." ordered the most senior ANBU commander before the gas clouds suddenly broke apart as a single figure walked out of the cloud, his black jacket with orange flames dancing across the bottom. His blonde locks swaddled a bit in the wind as he walked toward the massive line of ANBU and Jonin all of whom where on edge. Most reached for their primary combat weapon which was most commonly either a sword or a kunai.

"Stand down." Ordered Naruto as he glared at the Leaf ninjas with his silted blue eyes.

"Like we would listen to a demon." laughed a jonin

"Then listen to me." ordered a voice as out from one of the gas clouds walked Lady Tsunade as suddenly all the ANBU and jonin lowered their weapons.

"Lady Hokage we are trying to subdue a riot." explained the Lead ANBU as he appeared beside his Kage.

"Really because those looks like combat kunai on the ground and that looks like a blast mark from a paper bomb." explained Tsunade as she looked at the kunai on the ground and the blast marks from the paper bomb which still could be seen on the ground.

"We were responding with force after being attacked." explained the ANBU "We had Sasuke Uchiha throw a pepper spray laced bomb at use. In fear for our lives so we responded with force."

"Lies!" yelled a voice behind Naruto as the massive number of people who had been rioting had gathered behind him. "They threw a bomb at us and Sasuke saved a little girl."

"Demon's lie Ma'am." resounded the ANBU as Naruto showed his teeth but remained quiet "These creatures should be locked up in cells."

"Your ideas are noted now get you and your men out of my sights." Ordered Tsunade, the ANBU paused for a moment before following orders. Within moments all but the ANBU commander had left.

"Why haven't you left?" ordered Tsunade

"I am here to protect you from any threat." explained the ANBU as he looked toward Naruto "Besides the council would have both our heads if you didn't have a guard after a riot and I would be blame for it."

"Alright." grumbled Tsunade

"The citizens have to get out of here too Naruto." whispered Tsunade as Naruto nodded his head just a bit. "Then we go get Sasuke."

"Alright everyone please head home while we deal with this." explained Tsunade as she turned to face the people, most of whom where injuries from the riots.

"What homes you burned them!" yelled someone in the crowed as Tsunade lowered her head a bit.

"We will deal with that later right now we have to deal with this." explained Naruto

"It is always later isn't it?" asked another voice as Naruto's rage boiled over.

"Now listen here, we are all scared and worried about what is happening! Hell I don't know what is going to happen but what I do know is that we can only handle one thing at a time and right now we need to find out who is at fault for this riot." yelled Naruto as the crowed became deadly quiet. "Once we take care of this I promise we will find out who burned down our homes and they will pay."

Slowly the crowed began to break apart leaving Naruto, Temari and Shikamaru standing there along with the Lady Tsunade and the masked ANBU commander.

"What did you say to them?" asked Tsunade as Naruto blinked at the comment.

"Didn't you hear me?" asked Naruto

"You spoke in our tongue kit." explained the Kyuubi "They will wouldn't have understood them."

"I spoke in demon and told them that we would get to the bottom of this riot and whoever burned down their homes." explained Naruto

"Really." stated the ANBU "Because it sounded more war like then anything else, with all those harsh sounding words."

"It wasn't." explained Shikamaru as he stepped forward.

"What did you two see?" asked Naruto

"I saw nothing." Explained Shikamaru as the ANBU made a disbelieving sound at that news "I arrived just in time to save Temari from the kunai, my leg prevented me from getting here sooner."

"I saw Sasuke walking away from the location heading to the south east." explained Temari "I heard Karin has a place in that red roof building on the top floor."

"Let's go get him." stated Naruto as Tsunade nodded her head as Naruto turned to Temari and Shikamaru "Get as many of our friends as possible and meet us in five minutes."

Five minutes later Naruto, Tsunade and the ANBU commander stood on either side of a door on the top floor of one of the largest buildings in the housing area and one of the most run down.

"How long are we going to wait?" asked the ANBU as Temari along with Sai and Shino came running up the stairs joining the makeshift strike force. Tsunade quickly handed out some light weapons as they prepared to strike "Is this it?"

"It's more than enough." explained Naruto as he looked at his friends nodding head before moving in front of the door. With one mighty kick the door burst open as stormed into the room with a weapons at the ready following right behind him was Tsunade followed by Temari, Sai, Shino and the ANBU commander.

"He isn't here." stated ANBU commander as suddenly the sound of moaning filled the air as all four of them turned their gaze toward the closest door. Quickly they formed up on the door with Naruto once again in the lead.

"Three…two…one." Whispered Tsunade as Naruto kicked in the door and entered the room only to avert his eyes.

"GET OUT!" yelled Karin as she covered herself as Sasuke just lied their and looked at the intruders who had interrupted them.

'I never wanted to see that." complained Naruto as he covered his eyes as everyone else turned around and waited as Sasuke put on a pair of black boxers and Karin put on her lilac colored bra and panty set.

"You better have a fucking good reason for being here." growled Sasuke as he threw on one of the deep navy blue shirts and walked out into the bedroom.

"Can to bring you in." explained Naruto as Sasuke raised an eyebrow.

"Ok...why?" asked Sasuke "Because unless fucking someone when they want it is now against the law I did nothing wrong."

"How about starting a riot?" asked Temari as Sasuke blinked as he sat down on an old chair.

""When did I do that?" asked Sasuke

"About half an hour ago when you stopped some jonin from using a ballown filled with pepper spray from hitting a kid." Explained Naruto as Sasuke blinked at the news

"He didn't save a kid he started a riot by attack the men protecting the village." Stated the ANBU

"Wouldn't that have been a good thing?" asked Sasuke as he leaned back in the chair

"It was but then you threw it at the guards." added Temari "I was almost killed because of your actions."

To everyone's amazement Sasuke broke out laughing.

"What is so funny!" yelled the ANBU

"Wow…you guys are fucking idiots." laughed Sasuke

"Why?" asked Naruto

"First off, why would I save this little girl?" asked Sasuke as he looked at the stunned face on the five people who burst in on him. "Because that doesn't sound like me."

"He has a point that isn't Sasuke's style, he would have stood back and watched." admitted Sai as he looked at Sasuke who was sitting there dressed in nothing more than a pair of boxers and thin black t-shirt.

"Correct, second if I had thrown anything at those weak jonin on the wall it would have been something deadly not a pepper bomb." explained Sasuke as Tsunade glared even harder at the cocky Uchiha for calling her Jonin weak "Also and if I had started a riot why would I run away from said riot, why not stay and have some fun."

"True." admitted ANBU "It doesn't fit with the profile."

"And lastly and most importantly twenty minutes ago I was inside Karin so I couldn't have done it." Explained Sasuke with a mix of a perverted grin and a classic Uchiha grin on his face. For a moment all of them where at a lost for words.

"Well you could have left and came back?" offered up Naruto

"Would you leave Sakura or Ino when they are in the mood for a reason such a small as starting a riot?" asked Sasuke

"A clone then?" offered up Naruto as Sasuke laughed a bit.

"Clones where your trademark not mine." Pointed out Sasuke

"Also if Sasuke-kun made a clone I wouldn't have let him go." explained Karina as she came out of the walking in closest which had become their makeshift bedroom. "I could have easily found a use for him."

"I saw you, you even had on your white shirt and everything." Explained Temari

"And I threw out that outfit because it was all shot up to hell and Karin-chan gave me an outfit made out of Aldhard." Explained Sasuke as everyone just looked.

"With all that evidence it is clear that Sasuke wasn't there." stated Shino as everyone snapped their heads toward him "What everyone saw was likely a person in a hedge."

"A hedge why would someone use a hedge to save a kid?" asked Naruto

"Because their goal wasn't saving a kid it was to cause a riot." explained Shino "Who would be better to blame a riot on then Sasuke."

"I hate to say it but that makes a lot of sense." agreed Temari "The question is who?"

"The answer is clear it is the demons." stated the ANBU "They did it to make us look bad."

"It's really hard to make you guys look worst after you stood by and let homes be burned." stated Temari "Maybe you created this riot just to get rid of us."

"We wouldn't need to fake a riot to do that." Stated the ANBU

"Enough we will know what their goals are once we find out who is pretending to be Sasuke?" asked Naruto as Sasuke stood back up, stretching a bit.

"I'll let you guys figure that out." added Sasuke as he pushed past them grabbing Karin by the arm. "We are going to go back to what we were doing before you're interrupted."

"I think you can see yourself out." laughed Karin as Sasuke suddenly picked her up bridle style and carried her into the closet.

"I think we should get out of here before we hear something." added Shino as all five of them quickly left the room.

"So the question is now who is behind this and what their goal is." restated Tsunade

"Lady Tsunade I will order an investigation at once." stated the ANBU without taking his eyes off Naruto.

"Alright, I want all efforts put toward finding out who did this." confirmed Tsunade before looking toward Naruto. "I want you to carry out an investigation from within here as well."

"Lady Tsunade there is no way we can take the word of them." stated the ANBU only to get a death glare from his leader.

"And there are some here who will not take your word at the moment." stated Temari

"Why should they fear us?" asked the ANBU as Temari rolled her eyes.

"Maybe because you tried to kill them." explained Temari

"Enough both of you. We will both have investigations to find out who is behind this." snapped Naruto as he looked at the ANBU and Temari.

"Now, I better get going before the council decides to do something stupid." explained Tsunade as Naruto nodded his head before she and the ANBU headed out.

"Shino, I want you to find out whoever was behind this." ordered Naruto as Shino nodded his head "Temari if you haven't talked to Kakashi-sensie about the defense of this place do it."

"I will." confirmed Temari

"Good, have a report for me ready by tomorrow morning." Ordered Naruto as the soft pounding sound filled the air as rain started falling over the village.

"Naruto I have an idea to make things better." stated Sai as Naruto turned his gaze toward his normally quiet friend. "Maybe you should go out and reassure the people everything is ok."

"Good idea." Added Naruto as he nodded his head in agreement.

Hours later after spending most of the day visiting with different people and hearing their worries. Most came down to one thing, worried about their love ones and their own safety. He had expected all the complaints about the conditions but he hadn't expected how many people were asking to leave the village as a whole. He put those things aside as he walked into the darkened room, his eyes quickly adjusted to the only light source in the room, a camping candle. Unlike last night neither Sakura nor Ino where lying in wait to jump him when he walked in. Instead both of them where sound asleep on the sleeping bag bed. Both of them where side by side facing each other with a small gap in the middle which he assumed was for him, slowly and quietly he placed his stuff in one of the corners before he noticed the two small black duffle bags against the wall.

"Looks like they found them." thanked Naruto as he reached into the bag and pulled out one of the many scrolls which filled the bag. He unsealed one of them to find his backup supply of clothing. He quickly changed before heading toward the bed. He got on his knees as he prepared to lie down only to stop as he looked at where he was and who he was with. His blue eyes turned to his long time love Sakura who looked slept like an angle in a white night dress which was lose enough for comfort but yet still tight enough to show off her sexy figure. So gently he touched her shoulder and ran his hand down her side to her hip earning slight purr from her. After looking at her for the longest time he turned his gaze toward the other vixen sleeping in the room with him. Ino, the normally fashion focused woman was dressed in a tan shirt with a pair of bright pink shorts.

"Must have been the only thing she had to wear." thought Naruto as he looked down at Ino. Her long blonde hair was covering her face, moving a little with each breath. Slowly he moved the air out of her face and placed it behind her ear. Her eyes opened a bit as she looked up at him and smiled up at him.

"Go back to sleep, Ino-chan." whispered Naruto as Ino closed her eyes and moved her head into his hand. Naruto smiled as he looked down at the lovely woman sleeping below him.

"How did I get so luckily to get you?" thought Naruto as he turned his gaze from Ino to Sakura "To get bother of you?"

"Maybe it's your reward for years of pain because of me." answered Kyuubi "However now you have to protect them and at the moment you can't protect them here."

"I know." Admitted Naruto as he lowered his head in shame. "But I can't I can't leave the Leaf village and all it stands for."

"Sorry but at the moment all those things you love the Leaf village isn't standing for that." explained Kyuubi as Naruto's heart became heavy "We will talk more about this later first you need some rest and there is a rather nice spot between those two vixens down there. Don't you agree?"

"Yes." answered Naruto as he lied down in between them. Almost at once both of them began to cuddle up to him. His hands found resting spots on both of them, almost at once his worries seam to disappear into the warmth of the two women sleeping with him.

"I love both of you." whispered Naruto as he blew out the nearby candle plunging the room into darkness as he let sleep take him.

Sorry about the long delay, one of my coworkers at my so called "part time job" had to go in for surgery and I got almost all of their hours added to mine. I am now averaging 63 hours which means I don't have as much time for writing. Now you know that Sasuke wasn't the one behind the riot someone else is. Now until next time please keep reading. Thanks Wilkins75.
