Chapter 19
*Last chapter: Uchiha House*
He rose…moving towards the familiar item. He reached a pale hand out, fingers grazing the cool, white surface before grasping it firmly in his hands. He brought it closer to him, fingers moving over the smooth plastic. *Crinkle*…'What? Is there a piece of paper behind this?' he thought, turning the mask around to see the inside. Sure enough, taped to the inside of his brother's mask, was a crisp white piece of paper. On its folded, square surface, one thing was written.
Sasuke...
Sasuke stared at the white piece of paper dumbly, not quite sure what to think at the moment. The Uchiha was almost positive that his brother's mask hadn't been there when he had left Konoha four years and five months ago. Of course, his memory of that time had faded quite a bit. Back then he rarely even looked at the door to his brother's room, let alone went inside of it. So, the mask could have been there the entire time, and he was just unaware of its presence. But, then there was the notion that he'd seen Itachi leap off with it attached to his hip on that night so long ago.
He couldn't be sure though, because his memories of the Massacre were hazy at best. There was a lot his brain refused to let him remember, mostly because it was just too painful for him to handle. Most of the things he did remember were fogged over, and not at all precise. So, again, the mask could have been there all those years…he had no way of knowing. The only thing was that the note on the inside of it didn't look a decade old, as it should…if the mask had been there this whole time. Well, at least if the note had been there all this time.
The paper was fairly smooth, not many wrinkles or crumples were visible at all. It was almost pure white, unlike aged paper that was usually yellowed and torn at the edges. It had been placed recently, but not since he'd been back, so it couldn't be from any of his old comrades. The handwriting was familiar, yet it was unmatchable to anyone he knew in Konoha at the present time. So, who could it be from…was it from Itachi? His parents?...Madara? The only way to find out was to open it, but for some reason…Sasuke couldn't quite get his fingers to go through the motions.
He was scared. Here this was, probably the first clue into the truth of the Massacre, and he was afraid to open it. He almost didn't want to see what was written. What if everything he was hoping was wrong? What if Itachi confessed to everything and offered no remorse for his actions? Sasuke found he liked the idea of his brother having been forced by orders to do what he did. It's not that he liked the idea of his brother having done it at all. But, since he knew Itachi did in fact, kill the clan…he really wanted to believe it was because of an irrefutable order given by someone else.
Then again, if this letter was written by Itachi…then he certainly wouldn't have gone through all of the trouble of sneaking back into the village to place it…if it was just going to say what Sasuke had already known to begin with. If it was from Madara, naturally it would be the same story the masked man had told him in the remains of the old Uchiha Hideout. Sasuke was a little more than wary of the other man's words. Madara wanted something from Sasuke, though the young ninja hardly knew what that was. He fingered the seam of the note once more, debating silently whether to read it or not. In the end, he decided that he wouldn't.
'As curious as I am, I know I am not ready to open this yet. Nii-san…if you left that for me, I'm sorry. I promise to read it later…just not now…I can't do it alone. It's funny, Nii-san…I used to do everything alone. I used to be so independent…cold…so reclusive. But now I can't even open this little letter on my own. I feel like I need those people here to support me…is this what having a family is like?' he thought to himself as he stuck the folded piece of paper back to the mask and hung it on the wall.
After he finished gathering his wits, he walked out of his brother's bedroom, and down the hall towards the kitchen. The lovely smell of beef stir-fry tickled his nostrils as he rounded the corner. He hoped Sakura was almost done, because he was quite hungry. Training really did take quite a lot out of him; for sure…

**The Next Morning: Akito House**
..
"Shia-sama? What are you doing in here? It's rare to see you in the family archives when you're not on a case," an aged voice queried from behind the place his young leader was browsing. Shia jumped and turned to face Akito Tadashi with wide, navy eyes.
"Oh! Tadashi-san! I didn't sense you coming. I was so caught up in searching I…Do you need something?" she asked, stepping away from the dusty old bookcases and towards her Council Head. The older man shook his head.
"Oh, no. I was sent by Gaara-sama to make sure you were alright. Should you really be clambering around in here in your condition? It's not the tidiest place, you could trip..or.."
"Tadashi-san, though I am grateful for yours and my overprotective-tyrant of a husband's concern…I would like to remind you, and you can relay the message, that I am pregnant…not handicapped. I will be just fine in here. It's not that dirty, and there's enough light for me to evade anything that may be waiting to trip me on the floor," the young woman said with a flat stare directed at the Elder. He sighed.
"Shia-sama, I know you are not handicapped. I just think that maybe you should rest more. You're nearing your sixth month of pregnancy, and twins tend to come early. You're still quite young, so you may go into labor even earlier than most. Come now, Shia-sama, I know you are stubborn, but you're also a doctor. You should know better than this," Tadashi explained softly. Shia huffed, waddling over to a nearby chair and plopping herself down on it.
"I know…it's just that I promised a friend of mine that I would try to find some information for him…and I thought that if it we had any, it would be here," she said. Tadashi smiled, moving over to tug his leader to her feet. He guided her carefully from the room as he spoke.
"I understand you want to help, but perhaps you should lay down for a bit. I'm sure this friend of yours would tell you the same thing. If you'd like, I will return to the archives and search for whatever it is you need," Tadashi offered. Shia looked up at him pensively for a few seconds, as he laid her down in her bed and tucked her in.
"You're right…he would tell me to rest," she said, sinking back into the pillows and snuggling under the blankets.
"Who is this friend of yours, by the way?" the old man asked. Shia's eyes shifted up to him again. She smiled.
"Uchiha Sasuke…actually…he'd be quite angry with me if he knew I wasn't resting properly. After all the times I nagged him while he was under my care, I'm sure he would not be happy with my hypocrisy," she murmured, eyes fluttering shut. Tadashi's eyes widened a little bit. What kind of information could Uchiha Sasuke want from the Akito Archives? Still a bit wary since the Akito Traitor incident and aware of Sasuke's past acts of treason, the Elder pressed for more information.
"What information did he ask for?" Shia's eyes fluttered closed as she breathed out a small sigh. She was more tired than she'd thought.
"If I tell you, will you promise not to go to the Hokage with it?" Shia asked. Tadashi narrowed his eyes at her skeptically.
'Why would she need me to promise this?' he wondered.
"It's just that he is planning on going to the Hokage about something, but he does not have the proof to back up his claims yet. It's important that Tsunade-sama doesn't catch wind of things before he does," she explained.
"Well, what is it? I give you my word as your kin not to say anything," the Council Head asked, truly curious as to what the Uchiha could possibly be bringing up to the Hokage.
"It's about the Uchiha Massacre," Shia said. Tadashi gasped in surprise, peering down at his leader curiously.
"What about it? It happened years ago. Uchiha Itachi confessed to the younger brother, did he not?" the man asked. Shia sighed.
"Sasuke has been away for four years, Tadashi-san. When he came to us at the hospital, he was heavily wounded from the fight with his brother. His body simply did not have the energy to recall any details. However, after the Curse was removed, Sasuke began to remember everything. I can not tell you who, but someone told Sasuke that Itachi did not kill the clan out of cold blood, but for a different reason that I also can not elaborate on," the girl said. Tadashi remained silent as he waited for her to go on.
"Now he plans on finding evidence to prove what he has learned, so that he can bring it to Tsunade-sama as a viable case. Sasuke asked a few of us to help him in any way we could, and I was merely wondering if we had any records of the Uchiha Massacre. Autopsy reports, or morgue documents…anything of that nature," she finished.
He sighed, wondering what he was getting himself into agreeing to help her…but decided that as her loyal kin, he would do it, whatever the consequences might be. Akito Shia was not known for having bad instincts. Her most recent case was proof enough of that. If she trusted the Uchiha Traitor, then the boy must have done something to earn that trust.
"I'll go look around. The bodies of the Uchiha Council members were entrusted to our Clan's autopsy experts and morticians. I will get the files for you, Shia-sama," Tadashi said, kissing his leader's forehead like he used to when she was a little girl. She smiled softly in her fading consciousness.
"Thanks Tadashi-san…I don't know what I'd do without you," she murmured, and then slipped off to sleep.
..
**Hokage Monument**
..
Naruto and Hinata sat cuddled on top of the Yondaime Hokage's giant, stone head. They had managed to outrun their new chaperon without much effort. Hyuuga Emiko had pulled some strings for them, getting them a younger chaperon who'd have difficulty keeping up with Naruto's scheming. Why? Well, the Elder had said something about how her and her husband would never have developed a decent relationship if they hadn't been able to dupe their own chaperon years ago. Naruto was quite shocked by this development, but he knew better to keep his mouth shut. No sense in giving the woman time to change her mind.
"How much trouble do you think we'll get into, Hina-chan?" Naruto asked, nuzzling his face into his girlfriend's long, pale neck. She sighed and tilted her head to the side baring more of her perfect, beautiful skin to him.
"Not much…Hitoshi-san would be quite upset if he found out. But, I doubt anyone will say anything to him. My father will probably lecture me…but then I'll just remind him that Neji-niisan and Tenten-chan ditch their chaperon all the time and he never yells at them," Hinata replied softly. Naruto laughed a little, his warm breath fanning over her skin in a way that made her shiver.
"You know he's gonna pull some shit about how Neji's older than you, or Neji's not his daughter…or something equally retarded," the blond said as he pressed his lips in a gentle trail across her skin. She sighed again, one of her tiny hands coming up to thread through his hair and her neck arching into his touch.
"Yea, well then I'll just come back with the fact that Neji's father left him in his care as his soul guardian. Meaning that in essence, my father is Neji's "father" as per Hizashi-ojiisan's final wishes," Hinata replied. Another chuckle vibrated against her skin.
"You're getting too smart for your old man to keep up with, Hina-chan. Soon he'll have to step down and let you take over," Naruto said, continuing to plant his teasingly light kisses over her bared shoulder. His hand pushed up the bottom of her shirt, brushing the soft skin of her belly gently. Pushing his arms away, Hinata turned herself around and straddled her boyfriend's thighs, carefully situating herself in his lap.
"Don't be silly, Naruto-kun. I don't want to lead my clan until you're ready to lead it with me," the Heiress said as strong arms closed around her waist, squeezing her close to a warm, hard body.
"You don't need me, Hina-chan. You'd be a perfect leader with, or without me," he said quietly, blue eyes staring up at her tenderly. Her pale, heart-shaped face lit up with that sweet, loving smile of hers. Her lilac-tinted eyes filled with adoration incomparable to any other.
"But, if you want me there…I would be more than happy to be by your side…forever.." Naruto finished, claiming his girlfriend's soft, plush lips under his in a gentle kiss.
Hinata responded to him more confidently. She'd been doing so for about a week now. She finally seemed to get it through her head that he wanted her to push back. The blond boy swiped his tongue over the seam of full, pouty lips, moaning softly when they immediately parted to allow him passage to the sweet, hot mouth. Then, coming as something of a surprise to him, the full, warm pillows of Hinata's lips closed over his tongue, pulling into her mouth where she sucked at it carefully. His hands started moving again, moving up her shirt, over the silky flesh of her back. He groaned again when her mouth opened, tongue tangling with his as her strong thighs squeezed his waist slightly.
"Forever…" she echoed when they parted, both panting for breath as they continued to cling to each other. Naruto sighed, leaning his forehead against hers gently and pressing gentle, fleeting kisses to her lips before he spoke again.
"Let's go to my place, Hina-chan. I've got that movie you wanted to see, and I'm sure our 'chaperon' will have already checked there. He probably won't go back anytime soon," the blond suggested. His girlfriend smiled at him again, moving off of him so they could stand up. He wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed the spot just behind her ear.
{Ah…I could just throw up; the two of you are so nauseating.} Kyuubi said in his mind sardonically. Naruto scowled.
'You're just jealous. Shut up,' he ordered, pushing the demon from his mind. When they arrived at his apartment, he set up some silencing seals around his room so that if the chaperon dropped by, he wouldn't hear the movie. He fixed them some popcorn and they both settled into a cuddle on his bed before turning the movie on. As he gazed down at his beautiful, sweet, perfect girlfriend…Naruto thought that he really could do this for the rest of his life.
..
**Hokage Tower**
..
Sakura left her report on Sasuke's progress with Shizune as she made her way into her shishou's office. Today was the day that they'd be taking the chakra seal off. Sakura knew that her master had originally planned to wait a little while longer, but something appeared to have spooked the Godaime Hokage into lifting it now. The pink haired girl turned to her silent companion. Sasuke never talked to her when they left his home. It wasn't that he didn't want to be seen talking to her, nor was it that he found her annoying really.
It was that he didn't want to bring more attention to himself than was really necessary. People already gave him strange/dirty looks when he walked down the streets of Konohagakure. He didn't want to make any noise to attract anyone who wasn't looking. Now, Uchiha Sasuke is a difficult man to read. So naturally Sakura, as good as her intuition was, had not just sensed all of this. As strange as it sounded, Sasuke had actually told her all of it. She'd gotten curious one day and asked him why…and he just told her. It made her really happy that he could just open himself up to her now, with almost no hesitation at all.
"The Hokage is ready for you, Haruno-san," one of the ANBU guards stationed in front of the office said quietly. She smiled at him and gestured for Sasuke to follow him inside.
"Sakura, it's good to see you again. I feel like it's been a while," Tsunade said when they entered. Sakura smiled at her teacher.
"Shishou we saw each other just two days ago," she reminded her. The older woman turned a pair of weary brown eyes on her student.
"Ah, sorry. I have been rather busy the last two days. I guess it feels like more time has passed than what actually has," the Godaime said with a shaky smile.
She stood, making her way around her desk. She settled in front of them and fixed Sasuke with a measuring stare. The Uchiha stared straight back at her, not intimidated by her…or at least good at pretending he wasn't. After a few moments of staring at each other, Tsunade finally moved forward.
"Lift your shirt for me, Uchiha-kun," she ordered.
Sasuke shot his gaze towards the girl next to him briefly, but did what he was told when she nodded in support. He lifted his shirt, revealing the still healing flesh of his washboard abdomen. He jolted a little when Tsunade's cool hand made contact with his skin, but calmed the instant her chakra flowed through him. She had the warm, comforting chakra of a healer. It was relaxed him…reminded him of Sakura's chakra, gentle and soothing. After a few seconds of prodding, the seal appeared on his stomach.
"Ah, there we are. I know we said we'd wait a little longer to remove this…but some things have come to light that have persuaded me that we will need every advantage we can get," the Hokage said. Both teens stared at her in confusion.
"Tsunade-sama?"
"Let's finish this up first, and then I'll explain," the Hokage suggested, and Sakura fell silent.
'What happened that scared Tsunade-sama into thinking she needs Sasuke-kun's chakra ready so soon?' she wondered.
..
**Naruto's Apartment**
..
"Mnn…Naruto-kun…" Hinata moaned softly as her boyfriend kissed his way down her neck.
His mouth was hot against her skin, tongue dancing seductively across her collar. His hands were under her shirt, hesitating for only a few moments before moving up to cup her breasts. They'd already gotten to this point before, but Naruto always moved slowly, if a little hesitantly, so as not to make his girlfriend nervous. Hinata appreciated his concern, but she'd been in love with him for eight years. Even if she was shy, they'd been together for nearly two months, and she knew she was ready to do a little more than just some steamy kissing. What she didn't know, was how to bring that up to him without fainting from embarrassment.
"Hina-chan…can I…can I take this off?" a breathlessly husky version of Naruto's voice asked her as one of his hands tugged on her shirt.
She nodded, arching her back and lifting her arms over her head so he could slide the tank top off of her. Naruto marveled silently at the pale, silkiness of her revealed skin. Slender, tapered shoulders gave way to long, smooth arms. Though her breasts were bound, as any kunoichi's would be, their fullness was hardly disguised. One hand moved up to cup the soft mound as the other slid down to rest against her curved hips. Hinata pushed herself into his touch, legs moving apart to admit his narrow hips and mold their heated bodies together tightly.
Her small foot slid up and over his calve, to the back of his thigh, only to rest against the small of his back as she hooked one leg around his hip. With that, their hips melded together. Naruto couldn't help but groan into the hot, plush mouth he was currently devouring. He could feel the heat of her core radiating against his forming arousal through the thin material of her sweatpants. Using the hand positioned on her hip, he pulled her up to him, grinding down in a rotating motion and gasping out a harsh breath a the delicious friction.
"Naruto-kun…mmn.." she murmured, face flushed red in passion.
Her sweet, bruised mouth sought his out again, meshing their lips together in a deep, hot kiss. Arching her back, Hinata pushed her breasts up against the broad, flat of his chest, delighting in gentle tingles the meeting of their bodies sent over her skin. She could feel him, hot and growing ever harder against her pulsing center. With a soft moan she arched again, trying to convey her want for him to touch her. He acquiesced, trailing a line of open mouth, moist kisses down her neck, to her hollow, collar, and then to the edge of the binding covering her breasts.
"T-take them o-off…" she breathed, pushing her chest up against his seeking lips.
She wanted the barrier between her overheated flesh and his amazing mouth to be gone. She wanted him to kiss her there, on her breasts, which felt as if they were aching to be touched. Her nipples, tight and peaked, waited to be suckled and nipped. Just the thought of that caused a bolt of heat to strike her core, the silken, feminine flesh becoming moist and hot….swollen with need. Naruto looked up at her with lust darkened, sapphire eyes.
"Are you sure?" he asked, and she smiled. Even as aroused and crazy as he must feel at the moment, he was still making sure she was comfortable with the speed of their progress.
"Hai…I want you to touch me, Naruto-kun," she said, enjoying the little shiver that moved over his body.
{Fuck that's hot!} Kyuubi growled in his mind. Naruto scowled.
'Could you like, not talk right now? You're ruining the mood.'
{Fine, I'll just watch then.} the fox said perversely. Naruto glowered in his mind. Unfortunately the expression reflected on his face, far away eyes giving away what was going on.
"What's he saying?" Hinata asked. Naruto broke out of his inner scolding session to stare wide eyed at his girlfriend. She giggled at his expression.
"You always go all slack-faced when he talks to you. Your eyes get hazy and far away. You look like you're not even here," she explained. He just sighed.
"You really don't want to know," Naruto warned her. She tilted her head in confusion, shuddering a little as her boyfriend started unwinding the bandages strapping her chest down.
"He's a huge pervert, let's just leave it at that," the blond said, watching in rapt, lust-induced amazement as her full, pale, rose-budded breasts bounced out of their confines.
They were even more spectacular than he'd ever imagined. Hinata and he had fooled around before, sometimes going as far as hands underneath clothing. But, he'd never actually taken anything but her shirt off before. The bandages had always remained in place, out of his own fear of going too fast for her. So seeing them bare, full and luscious against her heaving, lightly flushed chest, was one of the most arousing things he'd ever seen in his life. Rock hard to the point of pain; he let out a little whine as he rolled his hips against hers. She moaned breathily in response, her strong thighs squeezing against his waist.
"God, Hina-chan…you're so perfect. Just…ugch…so fuckin' hot!" he growled, palming one of the soft, smooth mounds of flesh carefully. He could feel the hardened pebble of her pink, rosy nipple against the center of his hand.
Hinata could only gasp and arch into the heat of Naruto's big hand against her bare flesh. She loved the blazing look in his eyes. Their gaze burned her with the intensity behind the darkened pools of blue. Again she arched herself up, pressing the lush pillows of her breasts up into Naruto's big, hot palms and moaning at the feeling. The answering moan vibrated against her bruised lips, creating a delicious tingling sensation over the nerves of her mouth. She could feel his hardness pressed against her womanhood, the pulsing head resting hotly in the groove of her hipbone.
"Naruto-kun…do something…" she panted, her body so hot she thought she might die if something didn't happen soon.
He did, oh god he did! He moved his mouth down, trailing his tongue from her collarbone to the swell of her gorgeous breasts. With both hands he cupped and squeezed the soft mounds, pulling them apart slightly so he could taste the skin in between. Hinata gasped and moaned, threading her slender fingers through his hair and massaging his scalp in a very satisfying way. Naruto brought his mouth to the little rose buds standing erect against his girlfriend's chest. He let some air puff over the skin, watching it erupt in gooseflesh before he kissed the little pebble gently.
"Oh..Naruto.." Hinata sighed, arching her back into the touch.
"Fuckin' delicious," he murmured against her skin, letting his tongue circle the rim of the nipple before flicking the little peak gently.
"Ah!" the pale-eyed girl cried out, jerking slightly at the sudden jolt of pleasure.
Naruto took the hardened bud into his mouth, sucking, and rolling his tongue over it languidly. He could hear Hinata's breaths coming out in sharpened gasps, loving the feeling over her body arching and writhing against his. Nipping lightly, he moved his mouth over to the other nipple, sliding his hands down her sides to rest on her hips. With a firm grip, he started a gentle grinding rhythm. The friction felt amazing. He could feel the heat of her core through her thin sweatpants as he ground his hard cock against her.
"Shit.." he gasped, continuing his slow worship of his girlfriend's glorious chest as heat coiled in his lower belly.
Hinata had never felt anything like this. Her whole body was on fire. The mouth sucking on her breasts felt like it was slowly driving her insane. Her womanhood throbbed for attention, and she could feel herself soaking her panties in her heat. She arched again as Naruto trailed his tongue down to the lower curve of her breast. He licked and sucked at the tender skin over her ribs, moving lower on her abdomen as he continued. A shudder wracked her body when he dipped his tongue teasingly into her navel. She didn't know that it was so sensitive. How could such a small action be so highly arousing at the same time?
"Naruto-kun…" she panted. His lusty blue eyes looked up at her, connecting with her gaze and sending fire coursing over her skin.
"Naruto-kun…I need…mmn.." she tried to beg.
She didn't know what she needed really. All she knew was that she wanted the fire to suffice. She wanted the ache in her core to be quenched. Her boyfriend smiled at her roguishly before moving even further down on her belly. He kissed a path to the waistband of her sweatpants, and his tongue came out to tease at the skin just above it. The soft, hot, moist muscle traced the grooves of her hipbones, dipping under the sweatpants to brush the skin just underneath. Hinata's hips twitched towards his face, her hand unoccupied by his hair fisted the sheets as she let out a breathy moan.
"Naruto-kun…please…something…anything..nnng," she whined.
If she were in her normal state of mind, she would pass out at the tone of her own voice. It was so needy and wanton. Naruto smirked up at her, sliding his hands over her hips and thighs before drawing the toned appendages apart lightly. He kissed the inside of her thigh through the fabric of her pants as he stared into her heated, pearly eyes. She was beautiful like this. Flushed and half naked, her breasts heaving against her chest as she panted heavily, nipples taught and thoroughly reddened from attention. He'd never been harder in his life.
"Hina-chan…can I touch you here?" he asked, running his finger over her hot, cloth covered core with just enough pressure for her to feel. Her bruised lips parted in a moan.
"Yes…yes please," she begged in a sexy, whimper-like tone. Naruto groaned. She didn't even know how sexy she was, that's probably what the hottest thing about her was. Everything was completely unintentional.
"Through the pants or under them?" he asked, she whimpered again and tried to grind her hips down on his finger. He felt his dick pulse at how needy she was acting.
"Whichever…whatever…I don't care..." she said.
Naruto moved back up, taking her mouth in a sound kiss as he slid his hand down the waist of her pants. His fingers dipped under it, hesitating, as if he were asking her permission. She just bucked up, causing his hand to slide in, fingers brushing against her silky thighs and over her soaked panties. He groaned, tracing the outline of her feminine lips through the fabric, enjoying moist evidence of how much he was turning her on against his hand.
"Gods, you're so wet, Hina-chan!" he murmured, nipping at her mouth and kissing her hungrily.
"Mnn…nng…ahnn.." was her articulate response and he just smiled at how brainless he'd made her.
The fingers toyed with the elastic waist of her panties and Hinata moaned into the mouth ravaging her own. She wanted him to touch her. She wanted his fingers down there, massaging the burn of her desire away until everything melted into bliss. She knew what he needed to do, because she'd done it to herself a few times. It's only natural for a sixteen year old girl to need release sometimes. But it was different with Naruto. Somehow it felt different with someone else's fingers gently smoothing their way over her mostly hairless groin.
Naruto reveled in the smooth plane of Hinata's lower lips. He just stroked over them gently for a few moments, enjoying the feeling of touching her so intimately after having wanted to do it ever since that mission in the Rain. He teased himself, running a finger over the crease between the two soft lobes of tender flesh. He could feel the moist heat radiating from Hinata. Finally, he slipped a finger against the slick petals of her sex, rubbing against the swollen little nub he knew would send jolts of pleasure all over her body.
"Ahn! Naruto-kun!" she cried out.
He kissed her in response. Rubbing the little bundle of nerves with his finger slowly, but adding more pressure. Hinata, as muddled as her mind was, raised her thigh between her boyfriend's legs to try and give back some of the pleasure she was receiving from him. The stroke of her thigh against his hard cock relieved some of the pressure there, allowing him to breathe more freely as he continued to tweak Hinata's clitoris. Her hips moved against his hand, inadvertently grinding against his erection with every gyration.
"Fuck…Hina-chan…nn.." he moaned as the heat writhed violently in his lower belly. He was too wound up…too young, too inexperienced to last very long with the constant friction against his crotch.
Hinata felt him pulse against her thigh. She could hear the stuttering gasps of his breath as he bucked himself against her frantically. She looked up at his face. His eyes were screwed shut, teeth biting his lip. He looked good like this, sweaty, aroused, and in need of release. Hinata could feel the heat tightening in her stomach as she took in his expression. His fingers worked magic against her sex, she could feel the edge of the cliff fast approaching. Suddenly he jerked against her, his body stiffening as his mouth let out a low grunt. Warmth surged against her thigh through his pants wetly. He didn't stop working her though, not until she threw her head back and called out her climax.
She collapsed back against the bed, panting heavily to regain her breath. Naruto fell onto his back beside her, arms seeking her out and pulling her against his body to cuddle. They lay like that for a while. Naruto ran his fingers through Hinata's soft hair gently pressing gentle kisses to her face every once and a while. She just sighed and snuggled into him.
"I love you, Naruto-kun," she said, eyes holding his warmly. He smiled at her, leaning in to kiss her lips tenderly.
"I love you too, Hina-chan," he responded.
They stayed cuddled on his bed happily until, of course, Naruto started feeling the cum in his pants cooling. Face flaming red, the blond leapt from the bed and stuttered out an explanation before changing his pants and underwear. He guided Hinata to the bathroom, so she could shower off before he took her home. After they were both cleaned up and refreshed, they returned to his newly changed bed, and finally finished watching the movie they'd originally come for.

**Uchiha Main House**
..
Sasuke sat in the kitchen mulling over everything the Hokage had explained to them that afternoon. Apparently Pain, the Akatsuki "leader", was planning a direct attack on Konoha. Madara was definitely behind the overall plot, but currently the group of rogue ninja just didn't have enough people to pull off such an attack. The information gathered in mission "Aka-geisha" revealed that the Akatsuki had been recruiting ever since the deaths of four of its members. Tsunade had issued the order that afternoon for all teams to train harder, and prepare to defend the village if the need arises.
Sasuke fingered the note in his pocket. He hadn't told Sakura about the discovery he'd made in his brother's room yet. He was nervous. He wasn't really sure he wanted to know what it said. He longed to know why Konoha would issue an order to destroy an entire clan, innocents and all, instead of working out an agreement. He knew the Sandaime Hokage couldn't have been the perpetrator. It had to be someone else…but who? Who would do such a thing?
"Sasuke-kun?" Sakura's voice broke him out of his daze.
"Hn?" he grunted. She smiled.
"You spaced out for a while, I was just wondering if you were alright," she said, running a hand through his hair as she set his dinner in front of him. He leaned into the touch, disappointed when she pulled away to settle herself across from him at the table. They both mumbled an "Itadakimasu" before starting to eat.
"I was just thinking," he said. Green eyes fell on him curiously.
"About what?" Sakura asked, lifting her chopsticks to her mouth with a little rice on them.
"A lot of things," Sasuke responded, beginning his own meal. The girl sitting across from him sighed and rolled her eyes.
"You know, Sasuke, the vagueness won't help me understand what's wrong," she said with a slight glare.
Sasuke blinked at her. The old Sakura would never have glared at him like that. The old Sakura would never try to pry information out of him. The old Sakura would just smile, flutter her lashes, and do whatever he told her to. New Sakura was so much better. Though she was still sweet to him, she treated him more like a friend than an obsession. She was much more mature, and even though he knew she still loved him…she didn't act like a fool around him anymore. He really liked her.
'I do really like her, but how? I really like Shia and Dobe's girl Hinata too, but not in the same way. What's different about Sakura?' he thought.
"Sasuke!"
"Huh?"
"*Sigh* You're spacing out again. Are you sure you're alright? I think maybe you should lie down after this. Having chakra moving through your system after so long of having it restrained is probably wearing you out a little," Sakura said, worry evident in her pretty green eyes. Hm…now that she mentioned it, he was a little tired.
"I think that's a good idea, to lie down that is. After dinner, can we?" he asked.
She smiled warmly at him, causing his heart to flip flop a little in his chest. What was that feeling? That's it, he needed someone to come and explain it to him. But…who? Who would do that while refraining from teasing him about it? Without telling? Whatever it was he felt for Sakura, he didn't want her to find out from anyone other than him, and not until he was completely sure just what it was.
"Sure, Sasuke-kun. I'm a little tired myself," Sakura answered, moving to take the now empty dishes from the table.
She disappeared into the kitchen with them with that cute little smile of hers, and Sasuke vaguely noticed his eyes lingering on the gentle sway of her hips. His gaze slid down over her slender, bare legs that were showcased nicely in her small, tight shorts. Sakura certainly had changed from the skinny girl he knew in their Team 7 days. Her body was curvier, fuller in the hips and thighs. Her face was narrower, bone structure better detectable now that she'd lost all the baby fat from her cheeks. She was quite attractive.
'Um..okay. So, I think she's attractive. That's nothing new. I thought that way back when…but it's more than that. I'm attracted to her physically as well as intellectually. I like spending time with her. I don't like being away from her. What the hell is this?' Sasuke thought quietly. A hand in his hair broke him out of his thoughts. He blinked up at a smiling pinkette.
"Come on Sasuke-kun, let's get you down for your nap," she teased lightly, tickling the back of his ear. He almost smiled, lips quirking into an amiable smirk.
"Hn.." he said, and they both walked off to his room for a nap.
..
**Hyuuga House**
..
"Do you have any idea how much trouble you're in?" Hyuuga Hiashi hissed angrily. The two teens beside him just smiled at one another.
"I'm sorry, Father. We just wanted some time together that wasn't being scrutinized so closely," Hinata said, her voice quiet and respectful.
"Yeah, Hyuuga-san. It's weird goin' on dates when there's some guy I don't even know watchin' our every move. It's kinda creepy," Naruto added. Hiashi just narrowed his eyes at him.
"Since I am quite certain that it was your brilliant idea to evade your chaperon, I think it is in your best interest to be quiet," the Clan Head snipped coldly. Naruto flinched at the tone.
"Actually, Father, Naruto-kun was more than willing to endure the chaperon's watchful eyes. It was I that decided I'd had enough," the Heiress answered. She turned and smiled at her boyfriend who instantly beamed back at her.
"Hinata, the chaperon tradition has been in effect since the beginning of our Clan. If you want to continue your relationship with Uzumaki-kun, you have to abide by it," Hiashi chided, less angrily this time.
"Father, I understand why you don't want me to be alone with Naruto-kun, and it has nothing to do with tradition. But, you have nothing to worry about. Naruto-kun would never take advantage of me. Neji-niisan and Tenten-chan ditch their chaperon all the time, and you never do anything," Hinata pointed out. Her father frowned.
"Neji is a grown man, Hinata, and Tenten-san is a woman. Two seventeen year old Jounin do not need to have a chaperon watching their every movement," the man explained.
"I have already apologized Father, but I can not promise that it won't happen again. If you try to tell me that you and Mother developed the relationship you had without losing your chaperon every once and a while, I would be insulted at your measure of my intelligence," his daughter answered.
Hiashi blinked in surprise at his daughter's jab. Then, he smiled. Perceptive little thing, her more than adequate argumentative skills would be very helpful when she finally stepped up to lead. She was right, of course. He and Hinata's mother had ditched their chaperon quite often to get some time alone together. Most people do. The Chaperon Ditch is almost as much tradition as the chaperoning itself. He and his late wife were quite proficient at it. Remembering some of the things they used to do during that time is what made him want to force the tradition on his own daughter. He glared lightly at the blond boy across from him.
"Well, I'll pick you up tomorrow for training, Hina-chan! Gotta' go over to Sasuke-teme's place tonight. Said he wanted to talk to me about somethin'," the little deviant said with a smile.
'You can't fool me with that innocent smile, Boy. I was a teenager once and as far appearance, Hinata is nearly a carbon copy of her mother. I know what you're thinking. I know what you want,' Hiashi thought, glare heating slightly in anger.
"Okay, Naruto-kun. I'll do my part here as well. See you tomorrow," she said, kissing the boy on the cheek and hugging him.
With a brief (very brief) kiss back and a bow to Hiashi, the blond boy was gone, off to the Uchiha Mansion for whatever it was Sasuke needed from him. The Hyuuga Head just watched the boy bound away until he was out of sight before turning his eyes onto his daughter. His breath caught in his throat at the sight of her. Oh, how grown up she'd become. The gentle, adoring smile on her face reminded him so much of his late wife it was almost eerie. It was so strange…here she was, officially being Courted by somebody she was undeniably in love with. He could still remember that tiny, shy little girl who used to follow behind him, hiding in the fabric of his kimono. To think she'd become this strong, captivating young woman brought pride to his heart as a father.
'It's true what they say…they really do grow up too fast…'
..
**Hokage Tower**
..
"I thought you said it was too dangerous for us to travel. You're changing your mind?" Sabaku no Gaara asked the Godaime Hokage skeptically. Golden brown eyes settled on him apologetically.
"I think that is the best idea. I don't know when, or if it's going to happen," Tsunade started somberly.
"But…should the Akatsuki attack, your son and Shia-chan will not be safe here. I can send you with a team of ANBU tonight. I think it is best you return to your village as soon as possible," she finished.
"Tsunade-sama…what happened that has you so scared?" Shia asked.
"I can't tell you. It's top secret. I'm not supposed to breathe a word of it until we're absolutely positive it is legitimate. What I am doing is taking the proper precautions to ensure the safety of my village and my allies," Tsunade said.
"Tsunade-sama, I can't just leave!" Shia protested loudly.
"Shia…" Gaara tried to inject.
"No! If there's going to be an attack on the village, how can you just expect me to up and leave my family to fend for themselves?" Shia exclaimed. The Hokage sighed heavily.
"And what help would you be to them in that condition, Shia-chan? You would just be a liability. They would be worrying about whether you and your son are safe instead of the enemy before them," the blond stated wisely.
"That's not the point! I'm their leader! I can't just leave them in such a time! That's when they'll need a leader the most! I know I can't fight but-"
"No, Shia. She's right. Tadashi-san and the clan will manage without you there. They would rather you be safe in Suna than putting yourself and the children in danger trying to lead them here," Gaara interrupted quietly. He gripped his wife's hand in his lightly, entwining their fingers. He really hated the helpless look in her eyes.
"I know but…I can't help but feel…like I need to be here. What kind of a leader am I, that I have to abandon my Clan during what could possibly be the biggest battle they've seen in a long time?" she said sadly. The Kazekage really wished he could make the sadness in her expression disappear.
"You're a wonderful leader, Shia. You know that…I know that…the Clan knows that…everyone does. But, you are carrying the Akito Clan's legacy. It is more important that you protect the children that are inside you…that you protect Senji-chan, than anything else at this time," Gaara said squeezing the dainty soft hand he held in his comfortingly. Navy blue eyes stared at him softly, and Shia finally conceded.
"I understand," she murmured.
"Perfect. Be ready to leave by midnight. I know it's late at night, but the sooner we get you on your way, the sooner we get you back to Sunagakure. Gaara-kun, I trust you understand why I'd rather not have you in the village when and if this happens," Tsunade said, turning her eyes back on the young redhead across from her.
"Hai. Though it displeases me that I will not be able to fight to protect those I hold dear in Konoha, I understand that my presence here could be disastrous for you should I be injured or killed," he answered. The Hokage smiled.
"Correct. I really wish I could keep you here. Your strength would be a great asset to us in the coming fight. But, Konoha can not handle the blood of the Kazekage on her hands. If you died here…I don't think relations between our two villages would ever be the same," she explained. Gaara just nodded.
"It's alright. I understand. I would make the same choice if I were in your situation. That being said, should you need anything. Intelligence, manpower, or weapons…Sunagakure is more than willing to provide," the Kazekage replied.
"Thank you, Gaara-kun. I appreciate it. Now, the two of you take the rest of the day to pack and see your friends before you leave. You can't tell them you're leaving," Tsunade said, earning two confused looks.
"It is of the utmost importance that no one knows you are leaving until after you've arrived in Sunagakure. No one knows of this other than myself and you two. Not Shizune…not the Elders. Not even the ANBU team I've assigned knows what the mission is, they just know when and where they are supposed to meet," the Hokage explained. Gaara nodded.
"I see. It's a precaution," he started, "undisclosed information is information that can not be leaked."
"Exactly, now get going. I need to prepare the report for the Elders for after you've gone," she said. Both young ninja nodded and bowed before heading off towards their home at the Akito complex.
..
**Uchiha Main House**
..
"So, Teme, what'd you wanna talk about?" Naruto asked brightly, plopping himself down on his friend's comfortable couch. The raven haired ninja glowered at him silently for a few moments before speaking.
"I found something the other day," he said, not quite sure how to start. Sakura walked into the room with a tray of snacks. She set them on the table before settling herself next to the uncertain Uchiha.
"Sasuke-kun found a note in his brother's room and didn't want to open it without us here," the pinkette said for him. Blue eyes widened in shock as black eyes glared. Sakura frowned at him.
"What? You didn't know how to say it so I said it for you. We both know we'd be here all night waiting for you to figure out how to start the conversation," the girl said matter-of-factly.
"Hn," he answered curtly. Sakura just giggled at his scowl, Naruto looking between the two silently and wondering if something was going on between them.
{Impossible. It's too soon for the Uchiha to have figured out anything.} Kyuubi scoffed in his mind. Naruto managed to hold back a snicker.
'Oh, right. Sasuke-teme's an emotional retard. I almost forgot,' he thought with a mental smirk.
"Oi! Naruto!" Sakura called. The blond snapped out of his internal conversation and blinked up at his two friends in confusion.
"We're starting now, Dobe. Try to keep up," Sasuke said with a smirk.
Naruto just scowled at him and huffed a little, watching as the Uchiha pulled a folded sheet of white paper from his pocket. On the front, in neat, precise handwriting was Sasuke's name. Slowly, Sasuke unfolded the paper. He seemed timid…almost scared to see what was written. Naruto noticed that Sakura had leaned away, giving the black haired boy the due privacy to read through his note first.
Both Team Kakashi members watched in rapt silence as Sasuke's expression flitted through dozens of emotions they knew the Uchiha had no capability of understanding. They both mused on the fact that their friend had made the right decision in reading it in their presence. This way, if he needed someone to comfort him, they would be there. Naruto couldn't imagine what it must be like, after over ten years of wondering, to finally know the real reason your entire family is dead. Sakura watched the boy next to her intently for any signs of the kind of break down they'd experienced on their first day in the house.
After about five minutes of breath-holding silence, Sasuke let out a deep sigh that shuddered a little in his attempt to stay calm. He could feel that familiar burning sensation of tears in his eyes, but he didn't allow them to fall. He wanted to be clear minded right now, while he read to his friends the contents of Itachi's letter. Yes, it was from Itachi, as he'd originally suspected. A dip in the couch and a hand on his shoulder broke him out of his own mind. Naruto had joined him and Sakura, tanned hand squeezing Sasuke's shoulder in silent encouragement as Sakura's slender fingers threaded through his.
"What does it say, Sasuke-kun?" the medic's gentle, sweet voice queried from beside him. He lifted the paper to his eyes, and with a deep breath, began to read.
..
~Outouto,
If you are reading this letter that means that I have died at your hands, and you have been restored safely to Konoha, where you belong. I know you must be confused, Sasuke, for I am sure that I must have said and done so many confusing things in my final moments that left you so. I have no doubts that Madara has already managed to speak with you. I knew before we fought that he would. But, I warn you…he can not be trusted.
Madara will do anything to destroy Konoha; I learned that after years of being his student. He hates the village that did not accept him as their leader. His ultimate goal is to use the sense of vengeance I have installed inside you as a weapon against them. He wants them to destroy themselves from the inside out, starting with your blind and vengeful murder of the Council of the Elders. Be wary of his story and don't take any actions until you are positive who the culprit is. That being said, some of his story is the truth.
Sasuke, I killed the Uchiha Clan. I killed them under orders from the Council of Konohagakure as a final solution to the stirring rebellion within their ranks. However, there is more to the story than meets the eye. I can not reveal it all to you in this letter; heavens forbid someone other than yourself finds it before you do. Though I have set the seal to open for only your chakra signature, I'm sure a skilled ninja could find a way to break it. I will tell you this though, outouto. Though the Elders are harsh and strict, though they seem cruel and uncaring, I do not believe the idea to slaughter the clan was entirely theirs.
They were goaded into doing it from an outside force, scared into signing the orders by someone who needed the Uchiha gone. It only makes sense. The Elders respected the Sandaime too much to go behind his back without due cause. And, if there is anyone who could have forced our clan to bend to some kind of agreement, it was Sarutobi-sama. He was an expert negotiator and a great leader.
No, someone else with mutiny on their mind was behind it. Whoever it was knew the Uchiha would eventually come to a halfway point with the Hokage. They knew negotiations between our Clan and Sarutobi-sama to find some kind of compromise to avoid rebellion had already begun. This person had access to inside information, and planned accordingly. They went behind his back to scare the Elders into abiding by their solution.
I can not reveal to you here who I believe that person is, in fear that this note does not reach you. However, I have stowed my suspicions in a secret location. You know where it is, outouto. Go there and you will find the next clue to the person whose hands are stained with the blood of our Clan. I may have killed them, but given any other choice I would not have done it.
Though I do not expect forgiveness, I will say that I was just a child, manipulated into believing that massacring my family was the only way to keep peace in the village I loved so much. Konoha was, and will always be my home, even if I never see it again. I hope that you can come to call it your home as well, Sasuke.
I would like to say that I never wanted you to find out the truth of the Massacre. I had hoped that you would always think of me as the monster who had killed our family, and left you alone in the ruins. I wanted you to grow strong, hating me and surpassing me so that one day I could find peace by dying at your hands. Unfortunately, I know that Madara will find a way to try and use you.
Farewell, outouto. I hope you find peace and happiness one day, hopefully soon. I hope you reestablish those bonds that were broken when you left, and come to view Konoha as your home once again. I hope you find love and have a family someday, even though I will not get to see it. I'm sorry it had to be this way, Sasuke. But know this, you are and always have been the most important thing in my life. I just wish that I could have had the chance to be the kind of older brother you deserve to have. That is my only regret.
Itachi~
..
"You were the best brother I could ever dream of having, Aniki. You gave up so much for me and I'll never be able to thank you enough," Sasuke said, breaking through the long moment of silence that had followed the end of the letter.
He trembled in his attempt to keep his emotions at bay. Reading it out loud was even more heart-wrenching than reading it to himself. Sorrow bubbled up in his stomach, flowing over his entire body as tears pricked the corners of his eyes. Sasuke fought to keep his breath steady as he tried to control himself. He was happy, if only because now he knew his brother wasn't a cold hearted monster who could kill their entire family without thinking twice. However, the tone of the note…the regret and sorrow in his brother's words. Sasuke wanted to cry knowing how much is brother must have suffered all of these years alone.
"You don't have to hold it in, Sasuke-kun," Sakura's voice said, breaking him out of his thoughts. He turned shining black eyes on her before turning them down to his lap.
"You can cry, its ok. Neither of us will think any less of you if you do. Right, Naruto?" Sakura said soothingly as she raised a hand to his hair and stroked it gently. He felt himself calm instantly at the touch.
"Right. We're your friends, Sasuke. You don't have to hide from us," the blond said in a shockingly serious tone.
Sasuke felt himself giving in, needing the comfort they were offering like he needed to breathe at the moment. He could trust them. He knew he could. They were his friends…they were his family. They cared about him enough to chase him across the world even though all he ever did was hurt them. They accepted him back into their lives after years of pain and betrayal. Sakura had already seen him at his worst on their first day here and Naruto at the Valley of End. He could trust these people. He could let them see him undone….and he did.
Naruto watched his friend lose it in front of him sadly, wishing there was more he could do to help. He watched Sakura in awe as she expertly handled the Uchiha. She combed her fingers through his hair and pulled his head to her shoulder where she could rest her cheek atop of it. She murmured comforting words to him, kissed his forehead and held him until he'd finally exhausted himself. Naruto smiled internally at how close the two seemed after the Heart-string Jutsu. Sakura really loved Sasuke, and he hoped the Uchiha would soon realize that the feeling was mutual. Naruto knew, however, that Sasuke was still too broken to understand just yet. But hey…that's what best friends are for.
'I'm gonna help you out, Teme. I'm gonna help you see how you feel. 'Cus you need Sakura-chan. She's the only one who can fix you, and I'm gonna help you realize that.'
