Chapter 101: An Omega's Control Over His Alpha

Normal P.O.V.

(1 Week Later)

The last week passed by quickly as Naruto and Sasuke hung out in Naruto's hospital room. Now wide awake and full of energy, the blond fax shortly became restless. All he wanted was to return to his mate's and his apartment and to have some peace and quiet. Sure, he was excited that all his friends visited, talked, and sang praises about his heroic deeds during the war. But it soon became too much for even him to handle. For once, all he wanted to was to be alone with Sasuke, especially after the news about his Hokage position.

"Are you still grumbling, dobe? We've talked enough about you not becoming Hokage immediately for you to still be this angry." Sasuke sighed as he cleaned and checked over Naruto's arm wound.

"I know, but how could I not be frustrated? I mean, Granny Tsunade had me and Shikamaru training for our positions before the war. So why would she give him his, but not mine?" He whined.

"You heard what she said. You need to be studied first because of your new abilities and powers. And besides, you're still a genin. So, there are rules about making you Hokage right now."

"Yeah, that sounds like a lot of bullshit to me. I mean, I could see if I was just an average genin who wanted the position. But, I'm a fucking war hero, for heaven's sake. Doesn't that count for something? I think she just told me that nonsense to buy her some time."

"Hn. I never thought I would see this side of you before." Sasuke smirked.

"What do you mean? I've thrown tantrums and have been upset before. So how is this anything new."

"You are correct, but this is… different somehow. Don't get me wrong, I already knew that you would be upset when you work up and hear the news. But for you to take it so hard is interesting to see."

"Now that's not fair. I feel like you're siding with Grandma Tsunade and calling me childish." Naruto grumbled with his left fist against his cheek.

"Again, you misunderstand me. I never said that you were childish, nor did I say that you're justified in your feelings. You are a war hero whose only dream was to become Hokage. And now, you've awoken from a coma to find that your dreams are put on hold. It is perfectly understandable for you to have these feelings. I am saying this: you need to look at things for what they are.

Yes, you cannot become Hokage right now. However, that does not mean that you will never be able to. As Lady Tsunade said, once you finish all of your testing and Hokage training and feel that you are ready, you will take the position. It's as simple as that. Plus, as I stated earlier, a genin cannot jump straight to Hokage. She needs to buy some time for her to find a loophole. So Kakashi is nothing more than a stand-in for you." Sasuke explained as he finished his task. "There, your arm is ready for the operation."

"Oh yeah. I forgot about that. So, what is happening again?" Naruto asked.

"Lady Tsunade and Orochimaru will be attaching a new prosthetic arm on made from the First Hokage's remaining cells."

"Yeahhhhhhhhhhh. I don't know if I feel comfortable with that. I mean, how the hell did granny not throw him in prison after the war? I'm surprised he even returned to the Hidden Leaf. Shouldn't he be, oh I don't know, facing execution or something?"

"Trust me. I asked the same question. But Lady Tsunade assured everyone that Orochimaru understood his predicament. He knew that he was only on probation while the Five Nations recovered from the war. Yet, surprisingly, he decided to remain within the village and help with this project. They were too fearful of using the snake more than this. From what I understand, the council will use his war efforts and his part of the aftermath, in consideration, as they decide his punishment." Sasuke explained.

"Do you think they will execute him?"

Sasuke sighed as he leaned back onto his hands. "I don't know. But honestly, I don't care either way."

"Hn. I figured as much." The blond smirked. His eyes drifted to his mate's relaxed form, and his smile widened. "You know, I think this is the most relaxed I've seen you in a while."

"I guess everything finally caught up with me. These past three weeks have been exhausting, to say the least. First, we fought in a war against a literal god and a reanimated corpse. Then, I spent the whole time by your bedside, waiting for you to wake up and praying that I didn't lose you. Now, all we have to do is get your new arm attached before returning home. It's… a lot to take in if nothing else."

"Yeah, I guess you're right. I mean, it was a lot for me to take in after being in a coma. I couldn't imagine you going through it alone. I'm sorry that I wasn't here for you, babe."

Sasuke's face automatically scowled at the nickname. But he sighed and decided to let go for now. "It's alright. After all, it wasn't like it was your fault. I'm just glad to have you back."

"Well, I promise that I'm not going anywhere."

"And?" Sasuke smirked with his eyebrow raised.

"And I promise to do everything Granny Tsunade, Shikamaru, and Kakashi-sensei~ sorry, Lord Kakashi, tells me to do, or else I'll feel your wrath."

"Good boy. Now, stay here, and I'll get you a wheelchair so I can take you to your surgery."

"Aw, man! Do I really have to be wheeled to the surgery room? I could just walk there, ya know?" Naruto whined but immediately shut up when he saw his mate's glare. "Yes, sir."

"Good boy. Now, stay here. I'll be right back."

…

…

…

It didn't take long for Sasuke to return with the wheelchair. After Naruto was wheeled to the surgery room, he was given anesthesia and put to sleep. Then, Sasuke waited in Naruto's hospital bed for his mate to return.

The procedure took about two hours to complete, but it was a great success. Once Lady Tsunade and Orochimaru were satisfied with how Hashirama's cells merged with Naruto's, the blond-haired person was wheeled back to his room for him to wake up. Unfortunately, it would be about another hour before the blond fox woke up in a groggy mood.

"Welcome back. How are you feeling?" Sasuke asked from his seat on the couch.

"Like I got hit with ten boulders. What happened?"

"You had your surgery. Because of your body type and how fast the Tailed-Beasts circulate anything foreign through your body, they had to give you a potent dosage of anesthesia. From what I'm told, it was a success. We had to wait for you to wake up."

Naruto looked down at his new prosthetic arm and tried to move it. Like his real arm, the prosthetic moved and flexed with no issue. However, what bothered him was that it was covered in bandages. Although Naruto grasped the concept of his surgery, there still were many questions he wanted to ask. Luckily, Lady Tsunade arrived to do just that.

"Ah, I see our Sleeping Beauty is awake." She teased with a smirk.

"Ha, ha. What are you, a comedian on the side? Just check my arm out so we can go home already."

"I'll chalk your attitude to you being cooped up in a hospital room and the effects of the anesthesia. You're lucky I'm nice. Now, be quiet while I examine your arm."

Naruto did just that as she checked him over. Next, she had him perform some evaluations on his new arm's mobility, flexibility, and strength. Once satisfied, she jotted down a few notes and closed his patient chart.

"Well, Naruto, I would say that your stay in the hospital is officially over. You've passed all of the tests I wanted to run on you for now, and you're back to your body's physical form before you slipped into your comma. The abilities and powers you received from the Tailed-Beasts will aid in your recovery. However, I still want to see you back in about two weeks for your post-opt."

"And what about my Hokage training?"

"As long as everything goes well, you may continue."

"Great! Thanks, granny!" He cheered. "Oh, by the way, where are the other Hokage? Gaara came to visit me, and so did the Fifth Mizukage when she was well enough. I know A is still down for a little bit, but what about Lord Ōnoki? I haven't seen nor heard about him. Nor can I sense him anywhere. Did he leave, and I just didn't know?"

The temperature and atmosphere in the room suddenly dropped. Sasuke turned his head and crossed his arms while Tsunade bit her bottom lip.

"I'm sorry, Naruto. I thought I told you. Unfortunately, the Third Tsuchikage, Lord Ōnoki, passed away the day you woke up. His entourage took his body back to their village to have a funeral. This brings me to another thing I wanted to say. Now that you're awake, we're having our own funeral for everyone in the Hidden Leaf and the other Five Nations that died from the war. Now that all Kages are well enough to safely travel, we can close this terrible chapter in our village's history. We just wanted to wait for you to wake up so you could be a part of it." She explained.

"Was I… the only one who didn't know…?" Naruto asked as he looked up at Sasuke.

The raven-haired male deeply sighed as he looked towards the ground. "I… had a feeling… When you woke up, all I could think about was you being alive and well. However, as the night went on, I suddenly felt weird that I couldn't sense him. I didn't think anything of it until I asked Sakura. She told me while I was out of your room the next day. I didn't say anything because I thought someone told you already, and you might not have wanted to hear it a second time. I'm sorry."

Naruto slowly shook his head before sighing. "No, it's ok. I'm just glad that he's resting peacefully now. When will we have the funeral ceremony?"

"Tomorrow morning. It's supposed to rain, so be sure to wear heavier clothing and bring an umbrella. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll get your discharge papers ready, and you two can go home." Tsunade said before leaving the room.

Neither male said anything as they watched her leave. However, the heavy, cold feeling did not go with her. Trying to think of a way to comfort his mate, Sasuke moved to sit on the bed beside him and rub his back.

"Naruto, are you ok?"

"Huh? Oh yeah. I am. I guess I'm just shocked, is all. But, again, it's a lot to take in, ya know. I'll be ok. I just… have to process it all first." The blond-haired person laughed nervously.

Too bad it didn't fool his perceptive mate. Even without his Sharingan, Sasuke could see right through his mate's empty words and smile. However, he knew better than to challenge it. So, for now, Sasuke would let his worry go in favor of supporting his mate.

"If you say so. Come on, I'll help you shower before the girls come over." Sasuke said as he stood up.

"The girls?"

"Ino, Sakura, Hinata, and Karin wanted to come to visit you today before you left. They knew that Lady Tsunade would release you if your surgery was a success. I think Ino said something about giving you a haircut."

"Oh yeah. I do remember her saying something the night I woke up. Hn. Do you think we'll have enough time before they get here?"

"We should if you hurry."

"Actually," Naruto said in a lower, huskier voice and smirk on his full lips. "I was thinking of doing more than just showering."

Before Sasuke knew what was happening, Naruto had him pushed against a nearby wall with his hands on either side of the raven's head. Sasuke took a deep breath and tried to calm his nerves as he stared into his mate's desire-filled eyes. Traces of red seeped into crystal blue irises as blackened pupils turned to slits.

"What are you doing, dobe~."
"You know, it's not fair. I had to wait two weeks before I could wake up. And, when I did wake up, you were covered in my scent and clothes. Knowing that you missed me so much fires me up. You have no idea how much I missed you." Sasuke's body naturally shivered as he felt Naruto sniff the junction of his neck, where their faded mating mark was. "All of you. I know you can feel it, Sasuke. My body aches for yours as much as yours does for mine. Now that I'm well enough to be released from this hellhole hospital, I think it's time I'm rewarded for being a good boy. Dontchya think, babe?"

Sasuke's breath hitched as he felt Naruto's elongated fangs dig into the same spot Naruto sniffed. Suddenly, large calloused hands moved from the wall and down his sides. The raven-haired omega felt trapped between the wall and his alpha's hard, muscular body. Naruto wasn't wrong in his assumption. Sasuke missed the feeling of his alpha's body, and the semi-hardened member that brushed against his thigh wasn't helping either. Soon, his omega desires kicked in, and he had to resist his urges to submit to the powerful male above him. There's no doubt that if Sasuke was a weaker man, he would have allowed the blond to take him in every part of the hospital bed, but he had to keep his wits about him. After all, one of them had to be the sensible one.

Thinking quickly, Sasuke ran his hands up the muscular chest of his mate, causing the blond-haired person to moan and grunt until they reached scarred cheeks. The room filled with Naruto's scent and desire for him, and it made Sasuke's head spin. But he swallowed the lump in his throat and concentrated as best as he could. Then, with the little bit of strength he had left, Sasuke forced Naruto's eyes to look at him before activating his Sharingan and Rinnegan.

With the joint powers of his genjutsus, Sasuke successfully gained control over his mate's brain and gave him a few commands.

"Naruto Uzumaki, you will stop this foolishness right now and return to your senses. Or so help me, I'll make you regret it. Now sit!" Suddenly, Naruto released the smaller male and did as he was told. He took a few steps back and sat on all fours with his hands between his legs. His Rinnegan and Sharingan eyes stared up at his mate as if he were in a trance. Satisfied with Naruto's obedience, Sasuke continued. "Good boy. Now, I'm going to release you. And once I do, you're going to take a shower t cool yourself off, but you will not touch yourself." And with that, Sasuke released his genjutsus and waited for Naruto to return to normal.

After a few moments, Naruto shook the fog from his head and looked up at Sasuke with a pout.

"Must you do that?"

"It's the only way to calm you." Sasuke shrugged with his arms crossed.

"You could just give me what I need so that we'd both be happy."

"Yeah, but where's the fun in that." Sasuke smirked before bending over and using his fingers to cup Naruto's chin. "Besides, I like controlling you sometimes. Can't let you have all the power in the relationship."

"You're such a bully." Naruto smirked but didn't pull away.

"Oh please, you're into it more than me. Now, go be a good boy and do as I commanded." Naruto watched as his mate went to grab the bag and throw it over his shoulder. "And don't forget to not touch yourself while you're in the shower. If you can resist, then I'll reward you." The omega smirked, causing Naruto's ears, dick, and nine tails to stand at attention.

A painful groan escaped his lips as he followed the raven feline into the bathroom. "I sure know how to pick 'em."

…

…

…

After the shower and Naruto's almost failed attempt to follow Sasuke's orders, the blond-haired person came out of the bathroom feeling refreshed, relaxed, and naked as the day he was born.

"Ah! Just what I needed. Especially since someone wouldn't allow me release." Naruto joked as he dried his hair off.

"I know. I know. I'm the worst. Now, hurry up and get dressed. Wouldn't want the girls to see you like this." Sasuke said as he threw a pair of black and orange sweatpants, boxers, and a white short-sleeved shirt at the naked man.

"Aw, what's wrong, babe? Don't want others to see what you have?" He teased as he swung his dick around, making the raven blush.

"You're impossible. Hurry up and get dressed before I beat some sense into you."

Naruto smirked as he threw the clothes and damp towel over his shoulder and walked past the blushing man. Although Sasuke had his arms crossed and pretended not to care, he couldn't help sneaking a few looks. Unannounced to Sasuke, Naruto knew his mate was admiring him, but he figured he would save it and tease him about it when they got home.

Just as the bathroom door clicked shut, the room door opened and let four girls into the room.

"Hello, Sasuke-kun!" Karin waved with a bright smile.

Sasuke nodded before sitting down on the couch.

"Where's Naruto?" Sakura asked.

"He just got out of the shower and will be out in a minute. He needs to finish getting dressed."

"Hm. So, you are excited to finally go home? It's been a long time, eh?" Ino asked as she sat on the bed.

"Yes. No offense but spending any more time here wouldn't be good for either of our heath."

"Yes, I agree. However, even though I have taken a liking to working here with Sakura, Ino, Lady Tsunade, Lady Shizune, and Karin, I must say that I do not enjoy overextending my shift." Hinata smiled softly.

"Yeah. Don't get me wrong, this place can be a drag and very depressing. But I'm just glad I can still help my mom at the flower shop every once in a while. Takes the edge off, ya know." Ino agreed as she examined her nails.

"As if you do any work around here anyway, Ino-pig," Sakura smirked, angering the long-haired blond-haired person.

"Got something to say, Forehead-bunny?!"

"I said what I said. Didn't think I had to dumb it down for you."

"That's it. You're asking for it now."

"Ladies, please. Remember, Lady Tsunade said not to fight in the hospital." Hinata nervously warned as she tried to calm her friends down.

"Man, you are noisy. How can anyone recover with this terrible bedside manner." Naruto said as he appeared from the bathroom.

Everyone suddenly stopped as they stared at the blond fox in front of them in amazement. His short, choppy hair, ears, and all nine of his fox tails were still damp from his shower, but the rest of him was dry. He held the white short-sleeved shirt in his hand while the towel rested on his neck. His broad, muscular chest showed off all the years of training and power he got. Their eyes traveled downward, following the treasure trail of thin, blond hairs until they reached his waist. The sweatpants he wore barely clung to his hips as they revealed a hard-cut v-line and a six-pack of abs. The girls' faces turned bright red from embarrassment and desire, but they couldn't look away. Each of them knew that Naruto grew to be an attractive male over the past three years, but they never thought that this was what he looked like when he wasn't wearing his orange jumpsuit.

"No wonder Sasuke's with Naruto. He's hot!"

However, while the girls were ogling the confused young sixteen-year-old male, a jealous, angry omega male seethed behind them. The sound of Sasuke clearing his throat caught the girls' attention and forced them to look his way.

"Ino, didn't you say you were going to cut Naruto's hair? If not, then you four are free to leave." He bit with venom in his voice.

Confused, the platinum-blond female pig blinked a few times before remembering what he was referring to. "Oh yes. Come, Naruto, sit on the bed. I wanted to fix your hair."

Sasuke watched as Ino latched onto Naruto's left, muscled arm and dragged him over to the bed. Next, she took the towel, shook it dry, and then gently placed it back around Naruto's neck, accidentally feeling his soft skin under her fingertips. Then, resisting the urge to shiver and not piss off Sasuke more, the girl reached for her hair supplies bag and worked.

It didn't take long for Ino to finish, making everyone in the room jealous as she worked before she stood back and proudly admired her work. "Go ahead, Naruto. Look in the mirror and tell me if you like it or not."

Naruto stood up and examined himself in the mirror, doing as he was told. Then, he turned to the side looked up, down, and other directions to examine his hair closely. "It's a little shorter than what I was expecting."

"Well, to be fair, you didn't have a whole lot of hair to work with anymore. It got damaged during the war." Ino joked.

"Yeah, but what can you do? Thanks, Ino. I love it." He smiled as he turned back to them. "What do I owe ya?"

"Oh, nothing at all! It's the least I could do for the Hero of the Five Nations."

"Well, thank you. I appreciate it. Hey, if you did this great of a job, then maybe next time I need a haircut, I'll come to you."

Ino blushed at this and used her hands to cover her cheeks. "It would be my pleasure."

Naruto opened his mouth to say something until he looked over at his seething mate. If Naruto knew anything about Sasuke, it was that the girls had about five seconds to leave the room before this whole hospital was burned to the ground.

"Alright, girls. I appreciate your visit, but we should really be going. Hopefully, we can get together later, though, ok?" He nervously said before rushing the girls out of the room.

The four girls were confused as they were forced out of the room and heard the door slam behind them. And, it didn't help that they felt their breaths return to them.

"What just happened in there?" Karin panted.

"I don't know. The last thing I remember was fighting with Ino-Pig before staring at Naruto." Sakura said.

"It was Naruto. I don't think he meant to, but some of his alpha aura leaked into the room and hypnotized us. I think." Hinata tried explaining.

"Naw. I think it was the fact that we weren't expecting our blond friend to be so hot! I mean, come one, did you see the way his chest moved every time he spoke? That treasure trail? Or how low those sweatpants were on his hips? I damn near fainted if it weren't for Sasuke." Ino gasped as her eyes fluttered.

"Yeah, speaking of Sasuke-kun, did anyone else feel like they were being murdered?" Karin asked.

"I think we all did. Who knew that Sasuke-kun would be the jealous type." Sakura laughed nervously.

"Can you blame him? With an alpha as hot as Naruto, I wouldn't even let him out of the house. I'm surprised the hospital didn't burn down while we were staring at Naruto." Ino said.

"I think if we stayed any longer, it would have. That could be why Naruto-kun rushed us out of the room so fast. If anything, he might have saved our lives."

"You said it, Hinata. But I think we can all agree on two things. One that they are the Hidden Leaf's power couple. And two, that we would give anything to be either of them on any given day."

Everyone nodded at Karin's statement before they left the hospital, unaware of the seething omega and worried alpha they left in their wakes.
