Could her life get any worse?
As she stood facing the man in front of her, Sakura cursed the fucking blond idiot who caused all of this.
What were the odds she could beat Itachi? She was going to die here, having never been in the arms of her true love. And what if she could beat the elder Uchiha? Sasuke would never, ever, forgive her for killing his brother. He’d spent his entire life with that single goal. He would hate anyone who took that away from him.
That’s when an idea occurred to her. Her chakra was still completely masked so he didn’t know that she was even a ninja. Perhaps she could kill Itachi. And if Itachi’s murderer was going to be hated for the rest of their lives, then she would just have to make sure that somehow, Sasuke thought that it was Naruto.
She’d need a plan for that, but for now, she needed to save her own life.
She was suddenly extremely grateful to Tsunade who had taught her how to mask her chakra down to zero. She had told her that, as a female, weakness was a curse, but it was also a hell of an advantage.
In a physical confrontation, being underestimated was the most potent weapon in her arsenal.
She was still stunned at how easy it had been to kill Itachi. Because he could not sense any threat in her, he hadn’t intended to kill her at all, dismissing her completely. But the rest of her plan had taken root and, in her estimation, he still needed to die.
It took him by complete surprise when her hands filled with chakra and she smashed his head in and crushed his throat, killing him in seconds.
Now she sat near his body, going over her plan once more to calm her nerves.
She remembered the trip to Rock Country with Naruto some time ago and almost laughed at how they both had been so pathetic with genjutsus. But while he was off learning to suppress the Kyuubi and gaining sage techniques, Sakura had been studying too. Turned out she had an actual talent for genjutsu. That would be the only other tool she’d need.
Finally satisfied with her course of action, she dusted herself off, masked her chakra once again and headed back to Konoha.
She staked out the Uchiha district looking for an opportunity to get Naruto alone. It didn’t take long. Several times a day, he made a circuit of the compound, making sure the area was still secure. When she thought he was far enough away from the main house and Sasuke, she dropped to the ground behind him.
Before he even realized someone was behind him, she performed the seals for the Bringer-of-Darkness technique and then poofed them to the area by Itachi’s body. Then she performed the seals for the next genjutsu. She wasn’t an Uchiha, but the Godaime and taught her a version of the Hell-Viewing technique. Since Naruto was such a dolt she thought it would be sufficient.
Naruto found himself recovering from slight disorientation. He shook his head to clear it and discovered that he was just beyond the forest outside Konoha. Before him, stood Uchiha Itachi, his cloak folded around him.
“Itachi? What…? Did you bring me here?”
“Yes. It is time for me to retrieve the Nine-tails.”
‘Wait, what about Sasuke?”
“What about him?”
“He wants to talk to you. He’s in the village. Let me get him and then you and I can sort the rest of this out after. I’ll…I’ll even come with you if you’ll talk to him.”
Itachi stood silent for several moments, saying nothing. Naruto took the opportunity to continue his urging.
“Please, Itachi. Just talk to him. He has so many questions. He doesn’t want to fight you anymore.”
“Enough! Don’t concern yourself over my brother any longer. I am here for the demon.” He flipped his cloak open, revealing Sakura in his grasp. “You will come quietly, or I will kill the girl.”
Naruto’s face paled. “Sakura-chan.”
“Naruto, help me. Don’t let him kill me.”
“Let her go, you bastard.”
He watched as Sakura dropped to the ground and then rolled to the side. He leapt toward Itachi, but when he got there, the Uchiha was gone, heading once again for Sakura.
“Stay away from her.” He leapt again. Again, both Sakura and Itachi were in different locations and Itachi was still focused on the girl.
This went on for some time until Naruto finally managed to land some blows on the older Sharingan user. Naruto thought they should have knocked him out, but he just kept standing right back up, heading toward the Sakura again.
“What the fuck is your problem? Fight me, damn it. Leave her alone.” Naruto was beginning to feel panic. Itachi should have been down ten times by now, but the bastard just kept getting back up. Naruto kept hitting him harder and harder each time, but so far, with no effect.
As the fight went on, he was using every tai-jutsu trick and every nin-jutsu he knew. But the Uchiha prodigy remained unfazed and just kept going after Sakura. Even the sage techniques and toad katas were failing.
Until finally, he felt he had no choice. He leapt in between Sakura and Itachi one last time, and called forth Kyuubi. Not a lot; one tail. But it was enough to bring hellish heat to within a three-foot radius of his body. He heard Sakura screaming as the skin started to boil off Itachi’s body. Just as the body of the Uchiha started to fall over, Naruto felt his own consciousness fade.
The last thing he saw was Tsunade, Sasuke and Sakura, her clothing on fire, clutching at her face.
Sasuke paced in the prison hallway, waiting for Tsunade to allow him to see Naruto. It would be some time before Sakura would be able to have visitors.
He couldn’t believe this village would imprison Naruto for calling up Kyuubi. They wanted it for their ultimate weapon, their shield against all foes, but the minute he used it to save his own life, they slapped chakra inhibitors on him and put him in a reinforced cell. Hell, he used it against Konoha’s number one enemy protecting one of the citizens.
He clutched at his hair and dropped his forehead on the rock wall before him.
He couldn’t believe it. Itachi was dead. Naruto killed him. Why was Sakura there? None of this made sense. More unanswered, now unanswerable, questions surrounding his family’s legacy. He kicked the wall in front of him in frustration.
“He doesn’t want to see you.” Tsunade had silently turned the corner and was standing a few feet away.
“What?” He was dumbfounded. “Why?”
“He killed your brother. Can you not figure that out?”
“Does he think I’d deny him his own life? Does he think I would want him to let Itachi kill him? Or unleash Kyuubi on the world?”
She shrugged. “You know how he is.”
“Yes, damn it. Now let me see him so I can fix this.”
She studied him for several long moments, then tossed him the keys. “Okay. Do your best. God knows I didn’t get anywhere.”
He started down the hall, and then stopped. “Sakura. Will she be alright?”
“Yes, although I may not be able to reverse all of the scarring. Burns are difficult. Much of the skin is dead, although, she covered her face so most of the scarring will be on her hands and on her torso where her clothing was on fire.” She sighed tiredly.
“I’m afraid pretty girls like her take these things harder than they should.”
Sasuke nodded and looked at the floor a moment. Then he bowed at the honey-eyed woman and went in search of Naruto’s cell.
“Damn her. What are you doing here?” Naruto turned away once he realized who was at his cell.
When Sasuke produced keys, opened the cell door and stepped inside, he continued, “For fuck’s sake, doesn’t anyone care what I want around here?”
“Shut up.” He stalked over to Naruto, but stopped when the blond flinched as though preparing to be hit.
He slowly moved forward until he was within a foot and Naruto had himself pressed against the wall, his eyes closed and his face turned to the side.
“I’m so sorry,” Naruto whispered. “I asked him, I begged him to talk to you first. I told him he could even have me if he would just answer your questions.”
He opened his eyes, anguish clear on his face. “I don’t know what was wrong with him. He just kept going after Sakura. I couldn’t make him stop.”
He closed his eyes again and whispered, “It doesn’t make any sense.”
Next he felt himself wrapped in a warm embrace and Sasuke was whispering near his ear, “I’m so sorry you had to face him alone. Why did you go without me?”
“I didn’t. I wouldn’t.” Naruto couldn’t help nuzzling the neck before him. If this was the last time he would be close to his love, he wasn’t going to waste it. “One second I was at the gate checking the perimeter and the next I was in the field where you found us. I don’t know how I got there. He said he brought me there. Must be some new Akatsuki trick I don’t know. Probably used the same trick to get Sakura that far away from the village.”
He buried his head in Sasuke’s neck again and choked out, “I’m so sorry. I don’t want you to forgive me. I don’t deserve it. I should have figured…”
“I told you to shut up.” Sasuke’s voice was gentle as he threaded his fingers through blond strands. “Yes, I wanted to talk with him. But there was no guarantee that he would have talked with me. It was likely that he would have tried to kill me, too. And,” he leaned back and gripped Naruto’s jaw in his hand, “I would never trade your life for a conversation with anyone.” He kissed him gently. “I wouldn’t trade your life for my own.”
They held each other for several minutes, Sasuke soothing and reassuring Naruto. Then he stepped back and lifted thick hands up for inspection. He studied the cuffs designed to hold back all chakra in the teen’s body and sighed.
“Let’s see what can be done about these.”
“Let the record show that the chakra signature of Kyuubi no Youko, the Nine-Tailed fox demon was present within Konoha proper on yesterday’s date.”
Sasuke’s mind was racing. If this went badly, he’d have to act. While one part of his mind listened intently to the proceedings of the Go-Ikenban, another part was devising an escape plan.
“Let the record further show that one Konoha citizen was seriously injured and another Konoha citizen killed by the demon and its vessel.”
Sasuke’s thoughts came to a screeching halt and he felt bile rise in his throat. This was insane. He had some idea that the council wasn’t fond of the demon and by extension, Naruto, but this? They would actually side with Itachi over Naruto?
“Uchiha Sasuke, we offer our condolences for your loss.” As Homura Mitokado spoke, Koharu Utatane tsked and shook her gray head.
Fear was a congealed lump in his gut, but he kept his face impassive. He cast a glance at Tsunade, whose face was also an expressionless mask, and then at Naruto. The blond stood in the middle of the room. The floor around him was painted with every conceivable external seal and chakra inhibiting cuffs encircled his wrists, ankles and neck. His head hung in utter desolation. Sasuke wanted to weep.
“Finally, the council has decided that Uzumaki Naruto will wear the inhibitors and remain in residence in the high security section of Konoha prison until such time as his services are required.”
Sasuke felt the room sway. Gods, they were putting Naruto in prison. He looked at the seals on the floor and estimated the distance they would need to travel and how quickly in order to affect an escape. All of this was assuming Naruto would cooperate and that the Godaime didn’t interfere too strenuously.
He decided to play one last card before taking the more extreme measures. He pulled forth every arrogant Uchiha gene he could muster, and then strolled casually to the stand in front of Naruto. Instead of bowing before the council, he crossed his arms and raised one finely arched brow.
“And what about me?”
“Uchiha-san?” The council members bowed their heads and then looked at each other.
“Well?” He snapped and narrowed his eyes.
“I offer our most sincere apologies, but I’m afraid we do not understand.”
“Four small words comprising a question. Is it really so difficult?” He secretly blessed his family for surrounding him with pretension and self-importance in his youth. Whatever he was doing was causing both council members to squirm and look uncomfortably at each other.
“Uzumaki Naruto was given to me for my protection and amusement during my reintroduction. Are you really going to make me bring in the document containing your signatures?” Naruto’s head shot up. “I was not involved in this, yet now you are taking away something that is clearly, contractually mine.”
“Uchiha-san…”
“I’ll make this simple. You gave him to me. He is mine. Give him back.” He then let the Sharingan activate so they could see the tomoes spinning lazily in his eyes. Let them be reminded of that which they prized so highly. “At once.”
The two elderly statespersons asked for a short recess and left the room. As soon as they were gone, Sasuke slumped and propped himself up with his hands on his knees. Tsunade was at his side in a moment and pulled him into her arms.
“Brilliant.” She kissed his forehead. Then both turned to Naruto who was still staring at the floor but now had tears dripping from his chin.
“Naruto.”
“Dobe.”
“I’m just a thing here.” He looked at them through red rimmed eyes.
Sasuke stepped up to him and gripped his chin. “Do you know why they’re going to give this to me?”
Naruto shook his head.
“Because I’m a thing here, too.” He shrugged. “You’re a demon vessel. I’m a Sharingan user. Both of us are ninja. We’re both weapons and shields; tools. We’re nothing more than the advantages we give.”
“They don’t trust me.” He looked at Sasuke. “After…everything, they trust you, but not me.”
“They don’t trust me either. They just know they can’t push me like they think they can push you. They know you would sit quietly in prison and still protect this village when they need you. They know I’d blow the fucking prison off Konoha’s map and shove the rubble up their collective ass.”
“Naruto, Sasuke’s right.” Tsunade squeezed both of their shoulders. “If you’re waiting for this council to care about you, you’re going to wait the rest of your life. They’re part of the job. What will give your life meaning are the one or two personal bonds you can find outside of your shinobi life.”
Tsunade watched Sasuke move into Naruto’s space and link their hands together. For several seconds, she was certain they had forgotten she was there and the looks of longing and…desire...she saw on their faces brought a flush to her cheeks.
Naruto wore his adoration openly on his face. Sasuke’s own expression was a sharply focused hunger. She could almost taste the pheromones coming off the two teens as Sasuke moved close enough so that their chests touched.
“They don’t know you, Dobe,” Sasuke murmured. “No one in this village knows you.”
“Except you?” Naruto whispered.
“Except me.” Sasuke nodded. He leaned in just slightly closer, but stopped when Tsunade cleared her throat.
Naruto sniffed and reached a finger out to brush Sasuke’s arm. “When’d you get so smart?”
“I’m a genius.” Sasuke pushed dingy blond locks off a soot covered forehead.
“I hope so,” he sighed. “If I have to spend the rest of my life in prison…”
“I won’t let that happen.”
“Nor will I,” Tsunade added.
Just then the door opened and the council returned. It turned out that the council had more balls than Sasuke hoped, but only slightly. Naruto would return to the Uchiha district, but the wrist cuffs would remain for now.
It seemed they were willing to appease the Uchiha by returning the vessel to him, but were still anxious to vent their spleens on Naruto. He was to be blocked from all of the demon chakra and most of his own. And it was his own problem as to how he was supposed to protect Sasuke and keep his skills up within those limitations.
