Chapter 2: Conflicting Emotions
Naruto pressed his body up against Sasuke’s, desperate for an ever more intense kiss. With his bare chest glued against Sasuke’s own pale, toned chest he could feel the vibrations of his partners heart beating wildly. Or perhaps that was just his own heart thundering excitedly in his chest; it was so difficult to tell what was what when the two of them were wrapped up together like this. The only sound floating on the quiet night air was the soft gasps and moans of the two boys as they groped and kissed atop the fluffy bed in Naruto’s messy room. Even the crickets that normally chirped away carelessly were unusually hushed tonight by the symphony of wet, slurping kisses.
Every two or three days since they had returned from the Land of Waves Sasuke would show up unannounced at Naruto’s doorstep late at night and the two would participate in a wordless, yet somehow still passionate, make out session. During the daytime they were much the same as ever; bickering rivals who still had trouble working together, despite their joint experiences on the last mission. At night, however, they were two completely different people, their relationship turned on its head. Naruto never had to ask Sasuke to come over to his house, and Sasuke never asked if he could visit either. They never planned out these secret trysts, but simply knew when they needed to see each other, they could see the fire of desire in each other's eyes; no words needed to be spoken between them. Their silent mutual agreement to continue whatever it was that they now had together had become something of a new bond between them, an extension of their contentious relationship that had grown since their first accidental kiss. It was tenuous and fragile and hidden from the eyes of their comrades, but somehow it still felt grounded, it still felt real. They never spoke of their late night rendezvous or acknowledged what occurred then during the daylight hours, perhaps afraid of admitting that this was probably something they shouldn’t be doing or of further complicating their already messy and ill-defined partnership. Naruto still didn’t know what exactly to call this arrangement, but he didn’t really care in any case. His time with Sasuke, even though it was nothing more than the two of them sitting on his bed and kissing for an hour or two every few nights, had become strangely important to him.
Naruto placed his palms on both of Sasuke's cheeks, roughly drawing him deeper into the kiss. He wanted more. He needed more. He began to lick at Sasuke's lips, coaxing them to open. The stubborn boy resisted momentarily, but soon gave in to the probe, allowing Naruto’s wet tongue to slip into his mouth. Their tongues wriggled and battled for supremacy, much like Naruto and Sasuke did on missions, each seeking the superior position, desiring to be the one driving the action, a battle of wills between two spirited and stubborn guys. Sasuke reached behind Naruto and grabbed ahold of his buttocks with both hands, squeezing the two pert bubbles in his hands, causing Naruto to groan lustily into Sasuke’s mouth. Naruto removed his own hands from his partners face and let them meander across Sasuke's smooth alabaster skin as they continued to french, Naruto’s busy hands stopping occasionally to grip at his bicep or slide gently across against his bare stomach. His hands stopped their wandering at Sasuke’s chest, poking and rubbing softly against Sasuke’s light pink nipples. The two little nubs rose and stiffened under Naruto’s teasing. Now it was Sasuke’s turn to moan, the attention to his chest all too much for him to bear to keep quiet.
This was definitely the most heated of all their sessions together. Something about today was different, more intense than it ever had been. They had never been this intimate before, this exposed both physically and emotionally with each other. In his pants Naruto’s dick throbbed and ached, demanding attention. He silently promised it that once they had finished up their make out session and Sasuke had left he would give it all the attention it desired. Right now he was too busy to care all that much; at the moment he cared more about being with Sasuke and making him feel good than he did about his own needy erection.
Sasuke removed his hands from Naruto’s butt, only for them to suddenly return to their former position moments later, but instead of resting outside his pants this time they were worming their way past his waistline into his underwear. Sasuke gripped at Naruto’s butt again, continuing on with the task of kneading the mounds of flesh in his bare hands, grasping and molding his rear almost unconsciously, as if he was transfixed by his work. The sensation of Sasuke's warm hands touching his rear directly sent a jolt of wonderful pleasure through Naruto. If Sasuke kept this kind of treatment up Naruto might not have to jerk himself off later; with this kind of attention Naruto would definitely come in his pants after too much longer. The intense spasm of sudden and pure pleasure across his whole body caused his fingers to involuntarily tighten around Sasuke’s nipples, twisting the sensitive nubs roughly between his fingertips. At the same time he bit down lightly on Sasuke’s lower lip, moaning so loud in wonderful bliss that he was sure his neighbors would hear him.
Sasuke winced in pain at the unexpectedly violent treatment and shoved Naruto off his mouth and away from him, simultaneously withdrawing his hands from Naruto’s pants. “Ow! Too rough!” Sasuke shouted angrily, swatting the blond’s hands away from his body like they were pesky flies. He glared at Naruto, panting heavily as he wiped a large gob of saliva off his lower lip-whether it was his own or Naruto’s spit was anyone's guess. The inside of his bottom lip was bleeding slightly, a trickle of iron taste flowing in his mouth, and his nipples stuck out painfully, fiery red and sore.
“S-sorry, I didn’t mean-” Naruto, who was also panting from their steamy session, tried to explain.
“I’m going home,” Sasuke brusquely interrupted him. He seized his discarded shirt laying underneath Naruto and yanked it harshly out from under him, sending the confused blond boy tumbling over.
“No wait, Sasuke! Come back!” Naruto called out, attempting to persuade his partner to stay. The irritated raven haired boy ignored Naruto's plea, bolting for the front door with his shirt gripped tightly in his hand. He threw open the door and in one quick motion slammed it shut behind him, rattling the thin walls of Naruto’s apartment.
Naruto collapsed onto his bed, unsatisfied and depressed. Agh! This. Keeps. Happening! Things start getting good and he runs away. Through the weeks of makeout sessions they had never gotten as far as as intimate as they had tonight, but every time it seemed things were getting more that way Sasuke would suddenly withdraw all at once and return to his own home without giving any kind of explanation. Ugh, Sasuke, why can’t you just tell me what’s going on? I can’t read your mind, you bastard! ...Maybe I’m just not doing it right. I mean, I’ve never done this kind of thing before. Maybe he’s angry because I’m doing it wrong. Naruto lay dejectedly in his bed, thinking about what he could do to fix the situation. It was true that he lacked experience; in fact, the only person he had ever kissed was Sasuke himself. If Sasuke had more experience with this sort of thing than he did then maybe he was annoyed with Naruto’s ignorance. But the more he thought about it the more blanks came up in his mind. He didn’t really have anyone to ask; he had no parents or siblings or friends he could ask for information. He could potentially ask Iruka-sensei, but he quickly discarded that idea; asking him about something like this would have been just way too embarrassing to handle.
Suddenly, a lightbulb formed over Naruto’s head and an idea popped into his mind. I know! Kakashi-sensei is always reading those pervy books. If I could get my hands on one maybe I could find out some tips and learn how to do it better. “He he he he,” he chuckled happily to himself as he formulated a plan using the masterful creative skills he had gained as a young prankster.
***
Naruto snickered quietly to himself in delight as he snuck into Kakashi’s almost barren apartment. Man, I’m so smart. If you want to learn about pervy things, go find a perv. He peeked carefully into the apartment from the open door to find no one home. It was certainly strange that Kakashi kept his front door unlocked; what kind of jounin did that? Just how absent minded was he?
Alright! Infiltration successful! The only things of much note in the room were two framed pictures placed carefully and openly above the bed as if they were intensely important to Kakashi and a bookshelf crammed full of books with suggestive sounding titles. Naruto crouched down and peered at the books. Only now did he realize the problem with his plan, that he had no idea just which particular book would actually help him learn anything of value. The sheer amount of them was staggering, a true testament to just how perverted Kakashi really was on the inside. Unable to pick between any of the novels, Naruto closed his eyes and selected one completely at random, pulling it off the shelf.
“What are you doing with my limited first edition of Icha Icha Paradise?” a voice questioned from behind him, scaring the living daylights out of Naruto, who jumped up so quickly the dirty book nearly went flying from his hands into the air. Kakashi stood there looking disapprovingly down at Naruto. At least, he thought it was disapproval; it was hard to tell any of Kakashi’s emotions at a glance based solely on the single eye and partial cheek that weren't covered up by his mask and forehead guard.
“O-oh! Is that what this is? I… thought this was a ninja manual!” Naruto laughed nervously. This was definitely a bad position to be caught in. The best course of action surely was to play stupid.
“You’re too young for this kind of book, Naruto,” Kakashi chastised him, shaking his head and removing the book from Naruto’s grasp.
“I’m telling you that’s not it!” Naruto said defensively, cheeks flushing light pink in embarrassment.
“Hmmm… If you say so,” Kakashi said unconvinced as he narrowed his eyes-or eye rather-in suspicion.
For a while there was silence in the room as Naruto stood looking down at his feet in embarrassment and shame and Kakashi scrutinized the boy under his watchful gaze.
“Hey, Kakashi?” Naruto asked quietly after a long period of quiet thinking, looking up at his teacher with an inquisitive, almost desperate look in his eyes.
“Yes, Naruto?”
“What should you do if you like someone, but you don’t know if that person likes you back?” The question flowed out of Naruto’s mouth so meekly and softy that Kakashi was momentarily taken aback by the unusual character of Naruto’s words.
I see now, so that’s it… Kakashi pondered. Naruto certainly wasn’t the type to do things for no reason, but he hadn’t exactly expected this. “Hm? Is there someone you like, Naruto?”
“No!” he shouted out quickly, as if afraid of judgment from Kakashi. “No, um, I’m just asking for... someone I know.”
“Is is Sasuke?” Kakashi asked.
“What?! How could I possibly like that bastard Sasuke?!” Naruto exploded, his earlier uncharacteristic meekness blown away in an instant. “He’s a jerk and he’s selfish and he’s so damn cocky that it makes me want to punch him sometimes! And also he-”
“Calm down,” Kakashi chastised Naruto, interrupting his tirade against Sasuke. “I meant are you asking for Sasuke.”
“Uh, no… just someone I know.” Naruto replied, refusing to divulge his information. I don’t think he has anyone he likes anyways. He never pays any special attention to Sakura. Or any of the other girls for that matter, even though they drool over him and make gaga eyes whenever they see him. He’s so lucky! I wish Sakura would pay attention to me like that. She only thinks about Sasuke and all he ever thinks about is getting stronger. Meh, I feel so left out sometimes...
“Well normally you-I mean this person that you know-would just ask the person they liked how they felt.”
“That's not really an option... Is what he tells me!” Naruto added quickly, still hoping to hide his by now obvious intentions. “He said he’s afraid to tell the person he likes since he might get a bad answer.”
“Well then, your friend should watch how the person he likes acts around him.”
“How they act?” Naruto questioned, raising his eyebrow at the simplistic suggestion.
“Yes, most people act differently around someone they like. They try to be nicer, or act happier, or even try to be stronger willed than they normally are. Most people only want to show their best side to those they like,” Kakashi said matter of factly.
“Huh? That’s it?!” Naruto yelled. This info was of no use to him at all. Perhaps asking Kakashi had been the wrong plan after all.
“Well, there’s more to it than that, but…” It’s hard to explain this to a kid. Especially one like Naruto, Kakashi sighed. “Your friend should try talking more to who he likes. Find out what they enjoy and discuss it with them. Relationships are built on mutual understanding, after all. And of course, you have to spend time together with that person. The more time your friend spends with that person the more he will be able to tell if they like him. Does that help, Naruto?”
“Yeah, thanks…” Naruto said unenthusiastically as he turned and left Kakashi’s apartment.
...Hopefully I didn’t just make things worse, Kakashi thought to himself as he watched Naruto plod out of his room disappointedly. Sorry I wasn’t more helpful, but you’re still a bit too young for my real advice, Naruto. You have to learn to walk before you can run. Get a little more experience with love and I’ll be happy to help you out in a couple years. And then after a few more years I’ll let you borrow my books so you can get to the real good stuff. “Heh heh,” Kakashi chuckled to himself in a pervy manner.
***
Naruto sighed heavy heartedly as he slowly walked back home. Find out what they like and talk about it? But Sasuke doesn’t really like anything, so I guess that’s out. Spending time together… Well, we have been spending a lot more time together, but it’s not like we do anything other than kiss. We don’t talk and have fun or anything like that. We still fight a ton while out on missions too. So would that even count?
Naruto would have liked to get along with Sasuke better, truly he would. It just seemed that whenever they were together they ended up fighting and arguing. His mouth had the unfortunate skill of turning everything he wanted to say to Sasuke into an insult or challenge. He would have liked to actually talk with Sasuke, ask him about something whether it was important or stupid chit chat, to have a real conversation, but it was so difficult to stand being around Sasuke when he acted so high and mighty. Sasuke was very hard to approach like that, and Naruto’s stubborn pride refused to allow him to show any weakness to his bitter rival. Deep down he did want to find a way to become closer to the black haired jerk, however, he just didn’t know how to go about it.
It was strange. His feelings were so strange recently. For a long time Naruto had had a crush on Sakura, his other teammate. She was pretty, intelligent, and had a strong will hidden deep inside, all things Naruto found admirable about her. Sasuke on the other hand was egotistical, aggressive, and combative to the point that it seriously annoyed Naruto. So why then had he become more drawn to Sasuke than Sakura these days? Naruto still liked her, but ever since they had been assigned to team up he had found his feelings for Sakura slowly lessening, realized that she made up less and less of his thoughts. In her place Sasuke took up an ever growing amount of his thoughts and emotions. He found himself growing more interested in Sasuke, what he did, what he felt, how he acted.
It was strange. Guys weren't supposed to like other guys. These feelings were so abnormal to Naruto, he had no idea what to do with them or how to express them, or even if he should express them. And even if he had to like another guy, why did it have to be Sasuke? He would have preferred Kiba, Shikamaru, anyone else but Sasuke. It might have been better to just lock these feelings away and ignore them. After all, Naruto wasn’t even sure if he actually liked Sasuke the same way he liked Sakura. He definitely felt a connection with the boy, but there wasn’t really much of a foundation to their relationship. Perhaps he had just confused his budding admiration and fierce rivalry with Sasuke for something else entirely? When he took their physical relationship into account that made sense, but he still wasn’t sure if that was it. After a while he began to think that maybe he really did like Sasuke, but he was just too afraid to admit it even to himself.
This was all just so damn strange. No matter how much Naruto thought about it nothing made sense to him. His feelings felt like a bunch of pieces rope tied into of knots, so you couldn’t find where one piece began and the other ended and trying to untie them or pull on them only made the strings tighter and more jumbled up.
“I’m hungry…” Naruto mumbled. Thinking about complicated things always made him very hungry. It was probably best just to let it be for now and get some ramen.
***
Why do I keep going back there? It’s just a distraction. I know that, yet I keep going back and he keeps letting me come over. We don’t fight like usual, or even talk for that matter, all we do is kiss and grab. Over the past weeks Sasuke had found himself increasingly dependent on his actions with Naruto, found them becoming more and more a normal part of his routine. And that fact worried him deeply.
Part of him deep down wondered if being around Naruto was actually a good thing for him. Sasuke had tried hard to push down his emotions and live solely for revenge ever since the fall of his clan, but even he was only human. Even Sasuke got lonely sometimes. What was the harm then in seeking a little bit of comfort in Naruto? Was it really so wrong to try and find some brief respite from his unhappy, empty life?

He berated this part of himself, absolutely loathed and despised this pathetic weakness and attachment. Connections made people weak, and if he was weak he couldn’t hunt down and kill his brother Itachi. But even still, he found himself drawn to the blond boy. Sure, Naruto was annoying as all hell, and he was dense as a brick sometimes, but it wasn't as if Sasuke actually hated him. The boy was also courageous and strong willed and passionate, all things Sasuke found strangely appealing about him.
Don’t get any closer, Sasuke reminded himself. Just keep this distance and everything will be fine. Getting emotionally attached is only a distraction. But some part of him refused to accept these warnings. Some piece of him wanted to get even closer to Naruto.
***
“Good morning, Sakura!” Naruto yelled out to her, sprinting towards her as she waited for Kakashi to show up. He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Sasuke standing idly next to her, however. Naruto and Sasuke stared at each other awkwardly for a moment, a state of complete silence falling between the three team mates as Sakura looked on this unusual display from the sidelines. Normally they would have insulted each other or Sasuke would have berated Naruto for some reason or another, but no such incident occurred. In fact, Sakura would have swore that she saw a faint pink tinge of blush on each of their faces as the two boys suddenly turned their backs to each other in a huff, both scoffing in disgust. Had their relationship devolved so far that they refused to even speak to each other anymore? What happened to all that teamwork that they had shown during the mission in the Land of Waves?
These two have been acting weird around each other ever since we returned from the Land of Waves. Did something happen between them when I wasn’t looking? I can’t believe it, but somehow their relationship seems even worse than usual. Please hurry, Kakashi-sensei! Don’t leave me here alone with these guys! To her misfortune though, Kakashi was three hours late for their meet up.
***
Kakashi glanced down solemnly at the memorial stone, inscribed with the names of those brave ninja who had sacrificed themselves in the line of duty. He came here often, sometimes to fondly look back on memories of the friends and family he had lost throughout his life, and other times he simply sat in the grass next to the stone reading from one of his favorite Icha Icha books.
Hey, Obito. It’s been awhile since I’ve been here. Sorry about that, those kids have me pretty busy these days. ...You know, the way Sasuke and Naruto act together reminds me more and more every day of how we used to be… Although, now that I think about it, their case might be a little different, he chuckled to himself, recalling Naruto’s sudden interest in his own fine taste in literature and his questions about getting attention from someone you liked. Well, whatever. As long as it doesn't get in the way of missions it’s probably a good thing for them. Some human interaction would do both of them a world of good. They both need the company someone they can trust in. I just hope they can get past their differences. I know how Sasuke feels so well because I am Sasuke. I used to be exactly like him, so superior and stubborn just like he is. But being that inflexible and cut off from your comrades only leads to tragedy in the end. I know that all too well. Hopefully Sasuke will learn soon that he can rely on us and Naruto gets over his complex and learns to work with Sasuke instead of against him. Having a rival is great only if they build you up and push you to better yourself, but the way those two fight? Nothing good comes of that. I worry for those kids. I really hope that they don’t have to walk down the same path we did, right Obito?
Kakashi drifted away from his interior monologue directed at his deceased team mate and realized it was far past the time he told his students to meet up. When he came to this sacred place he often lost all sense of time, caught up in his memories of comrades long since departed. Oh well. I wonder what excuse I should use today...
***
He’s always making me look bad! Naruto grit his teeth, thinking of his failure to show up Sasuke once again on today's mission. Sakura lugged him along like he was little more than extra baggage, supporting his exhausted body as he plodded along. His face was bruised and beaten, wounds acquired from fighting during the mission, yet Sasuke hadn’t a single scratch on him. The fact that Sasuke was hogging the spotlight, one upping him at every opportunity really pissed Naruto off. He wanted to make Sasuke beg him for help, have Sasuke be the one in trouble and needing rescue, even if it was just only once. He keeps stealing the show and making himself look cool!
“You can’t even take care of yourself. Jeez, how pathetic,” Sasuke muttered pointedly.
Naruto was about to snap. Seriously, he was going to deliver his fist direct express mail to Sasuke’s annoying smart mouth. First he freaks out for no reason and leaves right in the middle of what we were doing the other night and now this. Ugh, Sasuke you're being such an unbelievable bastard these days! “Dammit!” Naruto cried out, the veins bulging out of his head angrily.
“Seems like our teamwork is suffering a lot these days…” Kakashi lamented with a deep sigh. These kids and their bickering were a lot to put up with day after day. If he hadn’t had his beloved Icha Icha books to console him he probably would have gone insane from their unrelenting back and forth competition and taunts.
“You hear that Sasuke? You’re ruining our teamwork, always trying to be the hero and stealing the spotlight!” Naruto shouted at a completely uninterested Sasuke as he calmly walked away from his furious teammate.
“You’re the one doing that yourself, moron. If you want me to stop making you look bad…” He trailed off, turning his head and gazing back at Naruto, whose fists were balled tight in anger. “...Then you just need to get stronger than me…” he said simply with a stern, serious look before walking off.
***
As was usual with him, Kakashi was once again late for the meeting with his team. His trio of students impatiently stood together, awaiting their teachers arrival. Sasuke waited quietly-albeit not patiently-leaning against the hand railing of the wooden bridge while Naruto and Sakura paced around and loudly complained.
“He tells us to get here early, and then he’s the one who’s late! I overslept today too, so I didn’t even have time to blow dry my hair! Why do you always do this to us Kakashi?!” Sakura shouted, lamenting Kakashi’s very rude disregard for schedules and time frames.
“I overslept too! I forgot to wash my face and brush my teeth because of that,” Naruto noded, agreeing in unison with Sakura’s sentiments.
Ugh, why do they have to be so intense all the time? ...Wait did he say he didn't brush his teeth? Sasuke worryingly realized moments after Naruto’s overly loud complaining. Oh god, please let that be a one time occurrence. I swear, if I find out he didn't brush his teeth even one time before we did ‘that’ I’m going to be sick. And then I’m going to throttle him.
“...That’s really gross,” Sakura replied squeamishly, mimicking Sasuke's own unvoiced worries, to which Naruto only sheepishly laughed.
Finally Kakashi appeared out of nowhere, acting as if nothing were amiss and cheerily greeting his fellow comrades. “Morning guys! Sorry I’m late today, I got lost,” he called out from his perch atop the torii gates connected to the bridge.
“You liar!” Naruto and Sakura both shouted at him.
“Anyways,” the absent minded jounin said, completely ignoring his students’ complaints, “It might me a bit sudden, but I’ve nominated you guys for the chunin exams.”
***
Why is it always Sasuke? It’s always Sasuke this, Sasuke that! What about me, I’m here too! It wasn’t that Naruto didn’t agree that Sasuke was strong, and he definitely admired his ally for that strength, he just loathed the feeling of constantly being in his teammates shadow. No matter what he did, no one took notice of him. Everyone bypassed him and only took notice of Sasuke. Those weird guys from the Sand Village and this bushy brows dude too! Everyone keeps ignoring me!
Naruto fumed as the green clothed genin named Rock Lee and Sasuke trash talked each other. The Chunin Exams hadn’t even started yet and already he was being pushed out of the way and ignored by everyone who approached. All they cared about was fighting against Sasuke, testing themselves against the renown Uchiha talent.
“Wait a minute,” Naruto called out to the other ninja, interrupting their conversation. “Let me take care of this guy. It’ll only take me five minutes.”
“I don’t wish to fight you. The one I want to face off against is Uchiha,” Lee said adamantly, straight up refusing Naruto’s challenge.
Naruto’s blood began to boil. “I’m sick of hearing about Sasuke!” he yelled out as he charged at Lee, determined to make him his opponent whether the strange young man wanted to fight him or not. Lee deftly avoided Naruto’s careless anger infused attack, his movements little more than green hued blurs to Naruto. He swung his foot around, delivering a powerful spinning kick to Naruto’s gut, sending him tumbling-or perhaps flying was a better word-across the floor, only coming to a halt as he crashed hard into the wall.
This sucks. I’m sick of this, Naruto lamented as Sasuke stepped up and began his own match with Lee and Naruto faded from consciousness.
***
Beads of sweat dripped down Sasuke’s face after his defeat served up by Lee. Naruto couldn’t believe what he had seen after he had woken up from his knocked out state. And he didn’t just mean the odd genin Lee and his even stranger teacher Gai, though their two man comedy act certainly was very unusual. Sasuke… lost? How is that possible? Besides Kakashi, Sasuke’s the strongest guy I know.
Sasuke’s hands were balled up tightly into fists and he was noticeably shaking. Just how badly shaken up had this loss made him?
“I thought the Uchiha clan was supposed to be strong. Guess that’s all just a bunch of talk,” Naruto goaded his partner intentionally after rising to his feet. He had never seen Sasuke like this; his eyes had an intense, almost worried sheen to them. It was as if this loss had cracked his confidence and made him doubtful of himself. So Naruto decided to light a friendly fire under Sasuke’s butt to restore his temporarily shaken confidence and push him forward. It usually worked for Naruto when people insulted him, gave him that extra push he needed when he was down, so it was worth a shot.
“Shut up. I’ll beat him next time…” Sasuke muttered unconvincingly, his eyes cast down towards the ground.
“Whatever, you just got your ass kicked. That Bushy Brows must have trained really hard every single day. Way more than you ever did.”
Sasuke was completely silent in spite of Naruto’s harsh words. Maybe Naruto had said too much. There was a point where the effort to shove someone back into line became just plain bullying of someone who was down. Maybe in his efforts to encourage Sasuke he had accidentally crossed that line. He didn’t want Sasuke to feel bad about what had happened, quite the opposite. He wanted to restore his shaken ego. One loss was annoying for Naruto, but for someone like Sasuke, who constantly desired to show his superiority to everyone, it must have been agonizing. Maybe I went too far… Naruto worried to himself as he noticed Sasuke clench his hands even tighter.
Naruto was working out an apology in his head when he realized his concern was not needed though. All at once Sasuke regained his composure, grinning widely with confidence and pride. The doubt and worry melted away from his face, as if his earlier expression had just been an illusion. “I think the Chunin Exams are going to be pretty interesting. Sakura, Naruto. You guys ready to go?”
“Hell yeah!” Naruto shouted excitedly. That’s the Sasuke I know, Naruto thought to himself with a smile, relieved that his prodding had worked.
***
We’re seriously going to die. I can’t calm down. He’s just too strong. The second test of the Chunin Exams was underway in the Forty Fourth Training Ground, the grimly named Forest of Death. The thin, pale, snake-like man stood menacingly before Sasuke and Sakura. Even just looking at him caused waves of fear and dread to rise up inside Sasuke like a hurricane of negativity. We have to run! If we don’t we’ll definitely die! This enemy was completely beyond Sasuke's abilities; there was no way he could defeat him. Even so, how would they be able to run away with someone so much stronger pursuing them?
Suddenly a stream of shurikens came flying out of nowhere at the creepy attacker, sending him slithering up the tree to avoid them.
“I’m sorry Sasuke, but I forgot the code word!” Naruto called out, confidently looking down on the precarious situation his friends had gotten into in his momentary absence. The snake man glared at the one who would dare intrude on his fun.
“...Naruto, I know you’re trying to play the hero and save us, but this guy is on a whole different level than us! Just run away and save yourself!” Naruto ignored his warning and continued his vigil on the tree branch high above them, glowering down at the serpentine assailant.
All of us are going to get killed. There’s only one way…
“I’ll give you the scroll,” Sasuke said to the attacker in a desperate, defeated tone, holding their all important mission objective scroll in his hand, “Just take it and let us leave.”
“What the hell, Sasuke?! Why would you give our scroll away to the enemy?!” Naruto screamed out at him. But Sasuke had already tossed the scroll to their assailant, sending it flipping end over end through the air. Realizing this, Naruto leapt off his tree branch suspended high in the air and dashed for the scroll, catching it in mid air.
“You moron, what are you doing?! Don’t you understand what kind of situation we’re in?!” Sasuke yelled at Naruto. But his shouts were met only with a fist smacking hard into his face, sending him flying backwards onto another large branch.
“I don’t remember the code word so I can’t test it out… But you’re a fake aren’t you?” Naruto glared suspiciously at the boy he had just punched.
“You complete dumbass, I’m the real thing!” What the hell, Naruto? You should know me well enough by now to know it’s the real me. After all, I could tell when this guy tried to copy you… Sasuke thought, almost hurt at Naruto’s words.
“You’re lying! The Sasuke I know isn’t a stupid coward like you! You’re the one who doesn’t understand the situation. What guarantee do we have that he won’t just kill us after we give him the scroll?”
Sasuke’s eyes opened wide in shock as Naruto continued glaring down at him. He was so afraid, so desperate to continue surviving that he hadn’t even thought of that possibility. He had allowed his fears to overcome his rationality. Naruto’s fierce eyes bored directly into Sasuke's own bewildered eyes. But there wasn’t just anger in Naruto’s eyes. He also looked almost… disappointed in Sasuke.
“Hehe, you’re right! I can just kill you and take the scroll from your bodies, after all,” the pale man smiled viciously.
“Shut the hell up!” Naruto yelled, charging headlong at the enemy, disregarding any harm that could befall him.
“Naruto, don’t! Run away!” Stop! You’re going to die, you idiot. For real! Kakashi isn’t here to save us and Sakura and I are too wounded to escape, but you at least can get away! Why are you always like this?
I’ve lost my respect for you, Sasuke, Naruto thought as he charged blindly towards the enemy. I looked up to you, I wanted you to acknowledge me. You’re supposed to be strong! But you're just a big coward after all. All that ran through his mind as he dashed forward into certain doom was how upset he was with Sasuke’s actions.
***
“You alright, scaredy cat?” Naruto taunted Sasuke with a weak grin as blood dripped from his mouth and nose. Behind him a massive snake was halted in its attempted attack on Sasuke, held back by Naruto’s mysterious and unbelievable burst of sudden strength. Naruto’s eyes were strange in their appearance, fierce and unrelenting, almost animal-like. He labored for breath, obviously exhausted by the short battle with the assassin and his giant reptile. Yet he still charged out to halt the snake’s attack against Sasuke, despite his obvious weariness.
Stop. Stop protecting me… Just please stop. Sasuke trembled as he stared at Naruto, unable to do or say anything. No words would come from his mouth, his muscles were frozen solid as if he were encased in ice. You could have run away. You fool. Why for me?
Sasuke watched helplessly as the snake-man’s vile tongue coiled out of his mouth and seized hold of Naruto, dragging him up on top of the giant snake's head. He suddenly stabbed his clawed hand into Naruto’s gut, causing the gutsy ninja to fall unconscious. Still Sasuke didn’t move.
“Sasuke, Naruto might be clumsy and careless sometimes, but at least he’s not a coward like you are!” Sakura cried out desperately from behind him.
Shut up...
“Foolish little brother,” a dark voice from his past called out to him as he remembered those vile words spilling out of the mouth of that man whom he desired to kill so utterly and completely. “If you want to kill me then you have to hate!”
Shut up!
“Cling desperately to your pathetic life!” The bastard he had once called brother taunted him insidiously.
SHUT UP!
Sasuke was finally broken from his trance, grabbing a host of weapons from his pack and readying himself for battle against his terrifying foe. I have to live in order to kill my brother. I might be afraid, but… If I can’t risk my life against this guy, then how could I ever hope to kill Itachi? I can’t let my fear control me. I’ll show that mouthy Naruto what I’m made of. I’ll beat this guy and when he wakes up I’ll rub it in his stupid face.

Fangs sinking into his neck. That was all Sasuke could feel: the vicious stinging pain as his enemy stretched out his long neck and struck him like a viper attacking it’s prey, those horribly sharp teeth plunging right into the soft muscle on his neck. The stinging sensation didn’t last long, though; it soon morphed into an excruciating stabbing, burning pain, almost unbearable in its ferocity. He fell to his knees, quivering in sheer agony as he screamed and writhed in pain, clawing his fingers into the dirt out of frustration and suffering.
It hurts! It hurts so much! Help me! Please, someone help me! Kakashi, Sakura, Naruto! Please, anyone, do something! Where are you, Naruto?! Please, I need you to help me!
But there was nothing that could be done; Sakura stood close beside him bewilderedly trying to calm him but she had no knowledge of what to do and Naruto was passed out from his own battle with Orochimaru. He was utterly alone against the beast of this pain burning inside him. Sasuke continued to scream and cry in horrible pain, his voice echoing out across the forest, until his young body could bear it no longer and collapsed to the ground and passed out.
***
Someone is crying. Who is it? Sasuke could hear the sound of whimpering echoing from all around him, the kind of broken, distraught weeping a child does when they are all alone in the world.
Tears flowed down a young black haired boy’s face. He was the only other person in this empty white place. “Mom and dad… they didn’t have to die…” he sobbed.
What the hell? It’s me?! Sasuke remarked, looking down on a younger version of himself. He recalled those days after the Uchiha family was destroyed; he kept all his emotions inside of him, bottled them away as not to seem weak to himself or to others. He devoted himself entirely to strengthening his body, mind, and will to one day hunt down and kill the brother he had admired and loved so. But from time to time he couldn’t help but break down and cry alone in his big, now empty house, just like the younger Sasuke was now doing. He had been so young, been so powerless, that he felt compelled to cry in lonely frustration sometimes. He didn’t do so anymore. He was stronger than that now. The image of himself in tears made him feel sick to his stomach; it was hard to face that he had been so weak before.
“If you don't have strength then you can’t do anything. Everything is impossible for you.”
I have strength. I’m strong now!
“Because I was weak, the clan was wiped out. Everyone died.”
I was a little kid. What was I supposed to do?
“You let everyone die,” his younger told him defiantly, the young boy’s face shifting from a weepy frown into a vicious, almost evil smile. The younger Sasuke began tearing away his face, peeling back the skin in layers. Underneath the skin was a second face, one with an unnerving snake pupil that stared menacingly at Sasuke.
How was I supposed to stop Itachi?! he shouted defensively at the little him, though no words came from his mouth.
“And all you did watch watch as everyone was killed. All you did was cry like the weak person you are.”
There was nothing I could do but run! He would have killed me too if I had tried to stop him!
“Thing’s would be different if you had strength.”
...Am I really that weak the way I am now? I thought I had become strong. Am I still too weak? Sasuke thought, the boy’s continued words chipping away more and more at his resistance.
And so Sasuke awoke from his deep nightmare, filled with an incredible power. The overwhelming, dark power of the Curse Seal. He accepted it as the power flowed into him, bathed in its darkness. This wondrous power that the young him had goaded him into accepting. He would definitely kill Itachi with it.

Again with this? Naruto thought as he woke from his slumber. Inside his underwear the disgusting sticky feeling he had grown accustomed to waking up to in the morning caused him to frown. It was one thing to have wet dreams while at home, but having one while out here in the Forest of Death it was just embarrassing. He had expected his little buddy to calm down considering the dangerous circumstances, but to no avail. Even getting injured in the last battle did nothing to dull the ache of unwanted boners.
After the three young ninja had been ambushed by the freaky snake dude and his three flunkies and forced to fend of their ferocious attack they had needed two days to recover from their extensive injuries, so they had camped out near a river in order to be able to defend themselves in case attacked again and be provided with fresh fish to eat. This part of the Chunin Exam was almost over and they still hadn’t acquired the other scroll. They had to do so today.
This happens pretty much every day now. Naruto cautiously looked around him, hoping his comrades weren't awake to notice his morning wood tenting in his pants. Dawn was still a couple hours away, the morning light not yet peeking through the trees. Sakura slumbered next to the small campfire and Sasuke was nowhere to be seen. Jeez, what a mess, Naruto grimaced as he took a covert peek into his underwear, surveying the damage. His rock hard erection clung to his moist underwear, which was stained with clearish-pearl colored liquid.
Before he could get up however, he began recalling the dream that had produced this sorry state as the morning haze began to dissipate from his mind. He had dreamt of Sasuke. The raven haired boy had been laying on top of Naruto, both of them nude as they passionately kissed and grinded lustily against each other. Suddenly the dream Sasuke had pulled away from Naruto and grinned mischievously down at him, then began to plant kisses in a line down the dream Naruto’s body. On his cheek, neck, across his chest and stomach, until finally Sasuke had reached his cock. There too he planted a sloppy, wet kiss on the tip of his penis before engulfing Naruto’s member in his mouth, licking and sucking on it. That was when Naruto had awoken to find the sticky surprise in his pants.
Gaaaaaaah! Naruto screamed out in his mind, having to force himself to not scream out loud. If he woke up Sakura she would definitely beat him up. I can’t believe it, I can't believe it! He had never had a dream about Sasuke before, at least not one this vivid and incredible. Why’d I dream about something gross like that?! As if Sasuke would do that anyway. No wait, that's not the problem here! Why would I dream about Sasuke in the first place?! His penis still raged in his trousers, begging for some attention, uncaring of his dilemma about his sex dreams involving his rival. Alright, I get it! Give me a minute, he consoled his member.

Naruto had hung his underwear on a nearby tree branch to dry after he had dunked it into the river, washing away his embarrassing nocturnal emission. He stood on the edge of the small river, working his erection in his hand. Yes, it was shameful and humiliating to be masterbating out in the open like this, but he was desperate for release, even in this atypical place.
“What are you doing?” Sasuke’s voice inquired from behind him without warning.
“Ah!” Naruto screamed out in fright, not expecting the unwelcome visitor. He whirled around in unintended reaction, his stiff dick still gripped tightly in his hand and his pants around his legs, his compromising position plain as day for Sasuke to see. “S-S-S-Sasuke! What are you doing out here?” Naruto trembled, covering up his hard on with his hands in a small attempt at some modesty.
“I was on lookout duty, remember? ...Jeez, can’t you control yourself a little?” Sasuke scoffed, as if stumbling upon his teammate jerking off was no big deal. He was sitting on a nearby boulder, an expression of mixed bemusement and annoyance on his face.
“I can’t help it, I’m a growing boy! You understand, don't you?”
“...I do, but doing it out here is kind of messed up.”
“Screw you, bastard! It’s just so hard right now, I have to relive it or it’s going to be bothering me all day.”

Naruto turned around and went back to his task of masturbating. After a few moments though, he realized that Sasuke hadn’t walked away. He was still sitting on the rock, actually watching Naruto touch himself.
“Don’t sit there watching me, you creep!” Naruto hissed.
“You’re taking too long,” Sasuke growled at him. “We were supposed to switch shifts ten minutes ago!”
“It’s not that easy! The change in scenery is tough to get used to. Plus you’re staring at me, weirdo!”
Sasuke sighed, shaking his head in annoyance. He jumped off the big rock and marched over to Naruto, who stood there completely dumbfounded. He kept getting closer and closer. Is he going to hit me? While I’m naked?! Surprisingly, Sasuke didn’t hit him. Instead he did something even more unexpected: he reached out his arm and firmly grabbed a hold of Naruto’s penis.
“Wha-wha-what are you doing?!” Naruto exploded. His hand! His hand’s really touching my dick! What the hell?! What the hell’s going on here?!
“Keep your voice down. You’re going to be useless if you’re like that, so just shut up let me help.” Sasuke stood next to Naruto and began pumping away at the blond’s cock, causing Naruto to let out an involuntary happy sigh.
Whoa, it feels way better when it’s someone else's hand. Thank you so much Sasuke! You’re usually a jerk, but you saw I was in trouble and you helped me. I swear I’ll repay you!
They stood side by side in silence as Sasuke stroked him off. As a fellow guy Sasuke seemed to know just the right about of tightness to grip with and how fast to move his hand. It felt so much better right now than whenever Naruto jerked himself off. A bead of sticky pre-cum dribbled out of his cock and down his rival’s hand, but Sasuke paid it no mind and continued on with his pleasuring, gliding his hand quickly across Naruto’s penis.
Curious to what kind of expression Sasuke had on his face Naruto snuck a glance to his side out of the corner of his eye. Sasuke was staring straight ahead not paying any attention to his task, as if he was calmly watching the scenery of the river as it flowed gently on by rather than jerking another guy off. Naruto looked down and noticed a tent jutting out of Sasuke’s trousers. He’s hard too...
Should I…? Naruto thought warily. It was humiliating relying on Sasuke like this. It was an imbalance in their relationship that Naruto would not stand for. Naruto constantly sought to prove he was equal with Sasuke. If he just allowed this to occur he would fall even farther behind his rival. Not to be outdone in this contest of wills, Naruto worked up his courage and reached his hand out and began pulling the front of Sasuke's pants down.
“What the? Don’t touch me you useless moron!”
“Shut up, bastard! If you're going do it to me then we’re going to be equal! So just be quiet and enjoy it,” Naruto said forcefully. Oddly enough Sasuke had no reply to this. He allowed Naruto’s hand to pull down his trousers and firmly take his erection in his hand without any complaint. They stared ahead as they worked each other over, neither of them daring to look at the other. They stood as far apart as they could while still touching each other. Naruto decided to inch a tiny bit closer to Sasuke. Sasuke did so as well. They repeated this cautious process until the two of them were shoulder to shoulder, pressed against each other.
Naruto knit his brows together, shutting his eyes tight as Sasuke quickened his pace. Naruto replied in kind, speeding up his movements, the feeling of a cock other than his own throbbing needingly in his hand a strange and exciting sensation. The sounds of Sasuke’s short, shallow breaths accompanied by the occasional stifled moan filled his ears. Sasuke’s pre dribbled out onto his hand in a small river of needy excitement. Right now Naruto felt so warm and comfortable-not to mention extremely turned on-that without thinking he leaned against Sasuke and rested his head on the taller boy’s shoulder. Sasuke continued to rapidly work his cock, unconcerned with the boy affectionately resting his head on his shoulder. It wouldn’t be long now; Naruto could feel a heat bubbling inside him, a deep pleasure on the verge of eruption, desperate to get out. Soft moans turned into outright gasps of pleasure as they continued to stroke each other, their hands moving quicker and quicker as they neared release.
“Gah! Sasuke… I’m gonna…” Naruto managed to get out through clenched teeth.
“Me too. Ngh!” Sasuke confirmed his own pending orgasm.
Naruto came first, his milky cum spurting out and falling into the water. Waves of pleasure enveloped him, but he was mindful to continue stroking Sasuke whose orgasm followed right behind on the tails of Naruto’s. One, two, three ropes of thick cum erupted from him and arced off into the air before plummeting into the river and washed downstream.
The two boys, hands still gripped on each others softening dicks, reveled in the aftermath of their shared act of passionate lust quietly, Naruto’s head still resting gently on Sasuke’s shoulder. After a few minutes of wordless enjoyment of the aftereffects of their mutual masturbation, Sasuke coughed uncomfortably then stepped away from Naruto and pulled up his pants. He leaned down and dunked his hands into the river, washing away the spurts of Naruto’s cum that had dripped onto him. Naruto stared down at his own hand, a sticky line of Sasuke’s seed spilled onto his hand as well. What an incredible thing they had just done. Not just physically, but emotionally too. It sounded very very strange, but somehow the cum on his hand made Naruto feel closer to Sasuke. It was as if Sasuke had allowed Naruto to see a little bit of his hidden side, like Sasuke had been open and willing to experience this pleasure together with him. Perhaps it was a sign that they had indeed grown a little closer emotionally, a little more trustful of each other.
“...Thanks,” Naruto said awkwardly as he panted lightly in post orgasmic bliss, deeply grateful for Sasuke’s assistance. He dipped his hands into the cool blue water, washing away Sasuke’s semen from off his hand.
“Yeah…” Sasuke replied, shying away from Naruto’s glance. “...I think your underwear is probably dry by now,” he muttered, nodding in the direction of Naruto’s tighty whities hanging on a tree branch.
***
Sakura was in tears, pleading with Sasuke to drop out of the Chunin Exams. She kept talking about a ‘mark’ but Naruto didn’t understand what was going on. Sasuke was gripping his shoulder and wincing in pain.. He was being so harsh, almost yelling at Sakura. His eyes looked vicious, as if cursing Sakura and her meddlesome worries.

“I don’t care about the exams. I just want to know if I’m strong. To test myself against the strongest. And their all right here. I will never forgive you if you take that away from me.”
“You bastard!” Naruto interrupted his speech. “Stop trying to act all cool! Sakura's worried about you!”
“Naruto…” Sasuke said with a strange, fiercely passionate look in his eyes. “I also want to fight you.”
Naruto’s heart fluttered happily in his chest on hearing Sasuke’s unexpected words. He stood there completely dumbfounded, unknowing of what he should say. Sasuke only ever wanted to fight against the strongest of opponents, people he deemed worthy of facing off against. Did this mean he had made it? Had Sasuke finally accepted Naruto as a rival worthy of his attention? Could Naruto finally move past the stage of being an annoyance to being someone Sasuke actually respected and thought of as an equal? Naruto didn’t know, but he was deeply happy, despite his inability to show it. He had desired this kind of attention from Sasuke for so long he was completely baffled as what to do with his emotions. His heart was doing jumping jacks, half out of excitement, half out of pure nervousness. He swore he would continue to get stronger. That was probably the only way to know what exactly they felt about each other. Kakashi had said that people acted differently around those they liked. Perhaps this was a sign that Sasuke didn’t really dislike Naruto deep down after all. The thought made Naruto’s heart continue to race.
