As they cleared more memories and made more room, a side effect presented itself. Nearly half of the false memories had had to be cut away from the right hemisphere; they’d been linked by pathways created by Naruto himself. As the blond had rehashed many of the fabrications during real time, they had, by definition, become grounded in real memories.
The first time they had experienced the effect, they had been forcefully evicted from Naruto’s mind. The blond had stumbled across a real memory with a dangling thread that now led nowhere. The confusion had caused agitation that grew until a surge of adrenalin washed Sasuke and Neji from his system.
Sasuke then experienced this phenomenon from the outside of Naruto’s mind. He watched as his friend looked at him with fear, then distrust and finally a cool distance.
Neji noticed this as well. During their morning talks, Naruto would focus more and more on Neji and only look as Sasuke with furtive glances.
“I will not be joining you for the next few days.”
Sasuke stood at the window in the Hokage’s office, his head resting against the window overlooking the city. He saw nothing, however, except his last memory of Naruto pulling away from him earlier.
“We’ve tried to be true to an approach of honesty and open communication,” Neji pressed. “The tone is too light when I am in the room and you need to talk to him.”
Sasuke still said nothing.
“He won’t open that far if both of us are there.” More silence and Neji could almost taste the exhaustion and defeat radiating from Sasuke.
“Fine, Uchiha. I’ll talk with him.”
Sasuke didn’t even raise his head from the glass.
"I would speak to you about Sasuke." Neji got right to the point.
"Oh." Neji could feel Naruto's anxiety increase.
"I know that you are no longer able to function on a team effectively." He looked at Naruto, who flushed and shrugged. "But, I didn't think that extended to abandoning your comrades to the enemy."
Naruto gasped. "I would never..."
"You have," Neji said sternly.
Naruto's mouth opened to argue, then his eyes widened. "I...have?"
"I would go a step further and accuse you of siding with the enemy against Sasuke and me."
"Neji," Naruto gasped again and gripped Neji's arms. "I would never…I didn't mean..." His voice cracked.
Neji looked at him, his face impassive, sympathy nowhere to be found.
“I will acknowledge that this enemy is unusual and his methods are...insidious, but he is, nonetheless, an enemy of Konoha."
Naruto's mouth was open, his eyes wide.
"Sasuke, Tsunade and I have fought this enemy for weeks, this enemy who would steal Konoha's two most valued ninja, and you are helping him."
"Gods, Neji, you're right." Naruto dropped his face into his hands. “I haven’t even been trying. I’ve let you three do everything."
He looked up and leaned toward his friend. "Neji, forgive me. I'll help. I promise."
Neji studied him a moment and nodded. He took Naruto's hand. "You are our wounded comrade. Your help is above and beyond the call of duty, but if you will, at least, not stand between us and the enemy, I believe we can defeat him."
Naruto winced. "Where's Sasuke? Has he given up on me?"
"I am worried for him. I see him looking toward the gates. I feel his longing for a mission, one final mission that he believes will put an end to pain for both of you."
"No!" Naruto threw his blanket aside. "I have to go to him."
Neji nodded as Naruto got out of bed and jerked the IV out of his arm. "I'll cover for you."
Naruto pulled on clothes and sent his chakra out to locate his lover. Sasuke was outside the hospital under a stand of shade trees.
Naruto found him sitting at a picnic table, his head lying on his folded arms.
"Hey, bastard," Naruto said, sitting next to him.
"Hn." Sasuke didn't look at him. Naruto really looked at Sasuke for the first time in weeks; he looked horrible. He'd lost weight, his skin was pale and Naruto felt the sluggish flow of his chakra.
Naruto felt ashamed. He'd been looking only at himself for such a long time, unaware, and honestly, unconcerned about those around him.
"This is some enemy, huh? The old hag ought to consider recruiting him to our side once we find him." Sasuke didn't even move.
"To be able to do such a number on two of the strongest ninja in the world..." Naruto picked at a splinter on the table.
Sasuke sat up and looked toward the gates, still saying nothing.
"Of course, he's had the advantage of having me on his side."
Sasuke looked at him sharply.
"Sasuke, can you forgive me for abandoning you on the battlefield?" Naruto leaned forward, his eyes pleading.
"Naruto..." Sasuke turned to him fully.
"Neji just got done beating me around the head and shoulders for being such a lousy comrade. Such a lousy friend."
"Neji?"
Naruto nodded. He pressed his forehead to Sasuke's, tangling his fingers in the dark hair at his neck.
"What do you say we kick this mother fucker's ass?"
Sasuke closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around Naruto's neck. "Dobe..."
Pre-battle adrenaline moved through Naruto's veins and he felt a rush of anticipation fill him.
"You got my back?" he asked grinning.
"Hell, yes," Sasuke answered, his voice watery. "You got mine?"
Naruto pressed their foreheads together.
"Balls to the wall, baby,” he whispered.
This shift in perspective turned everything around; Naruto was a warrior after all. And he loved Sasuke with everything he had. This became, in his mind, a threat to his lover's life and happiness and he was ready to battle that to the death.
Every time a piece of insecurity or doubt would surface, he'd search his mind for the source and when he found nothing, he'd growl at the room in general and snatch Sasuke into his arms and kiss the living daylights out of him.
"Take that, you fucker, whoever you are!"
They were getting to the end of the mass of clustered memories when one afternoon Sasuke walked into the hall with Neji.
"I don't know how to thank you," Sasuke said.
"His happiness is thanks enough," Neji answered. Then he studied Sasuke for a moment.
“I wonder if I might ask a favor." He stepped into Sasuke’s space.
"Of course."
Neji took one more step until his chest touched Sasuke's.
Sasuke's eyebrows rose as Neji pressed their lips together. Suddenly he knew what Neji was doing. He wrapped his arms around the other brunette and kissed him with all the passion he could muster.
After several seconds, Neji pulled away, swaying slightly. They both felt Neji's erection brushing Sasuke's hip.
"Did you find the answer you were looking for?" Sasuke pushed Neji's hair back, his eyes twinkling.
"Ye..." Neji cleared his throat. "Yes." He stepped back and adjusted his pant leg.
"I've talked to the Godaime about filling the position that will be open when Naruto becomes Hokage."
"That's the most dangerous job there is." Sasuke frowned.
"Thanks to Naruto, I am well trained. And I feel the need to see what is beyond Konoha's boundaries. I feel there might be...more."
"Hey, Dobe." Sasuke poked his head around the door. "I have a surprise for you." Then he caught the presence of Naruto's sage enhanced chakra.
"What are you doing?" He walked over to the bed and watched as a single shuriken quivered and flipped in mid air.
"Sharpening my weapons."
Sasuke leaned in and moved his head to study the weapon at different angles. He could feel the air moving around it, so dense as to feel almost solid. As he looked closer, he noticed a tiny drop of water moving along the blade.
"Water?"
"Yeah. Check it out." He grasped the blade and held it up to Sasuke, pointing to the gleaming edges. "See, with water I can grind a hollow bevel on each blade section. It doesn't really affect the spin or the speed through the air, but when it hits the target, it digs in deeper and changes direction. Does more damage that way. Haven't found a hand tool that works half as well."
Sasuke moved in, his eyelids drooping. "Gods, you turn me on."
"What?" Naruto laughed.
"Watching you do things that I can barely comprehend..." He leaned in until their noses were touching and whispered in a husky voice, "It makes my knees weak."
A slumberous look entered Naruto's eyes and he pressed one of Sasuke's hands to his crotch. "You affect some of my body parts, too."
Sasuke's breath hitched and his eyes slid the rest of the way closed. "Naruto..."
‘Keep your enemies closer.’ "Ahem."
Sasuke pulled back and smirked. "Oh yeah, I have a surprise for you."
"Sakura-chan!" Naruto shoved Sasuke out of his way and leaped off the bed, pulling his IV pole over and dragging it across the floor.
"Show a little enthusiasm, Dobe, or you're going to hurt her feelings."
Naruto laughed. "Sakura-chan, I am so happy to see you." He grabbed her off the ground and spun them in circles. When he set her down, they were both wrapped in IV tubing and Sakura was laughing and shrieking.
Sasuke helped untangle them and finally Naruto was standing before her, holding her hands and simply beaming.
"You look great. Isn't she beautiful, Sasuke?"
Sasuke ran his hand down the back of her hair and kissed her cheek. "She is."
"She's the prettiest girl in Konoha."
"Alright, enough, I forgot my waders." Sakura smacked Naruto in the chest, then pushed her fingers through his hair.
"How's my boy. I understand you haven't been feeling well."
Naruto pulled back and shrugged. "Naw, I'm fine. Kyuubi's just not playing nice. Giving me a pain in my ass." He rubbed the back of his neck. "But Neji and Sasuke are kicking his ass."
None of the story was even remotely true, but Sasuke let Naruto divulge whatever he wanted to the konoichi.
Naruto thoroughly enjoyed Sakura's visit and she promised to come every day. The third day, Sasuke and Neji came into the room so that all four could have dinner together. They found Sakura sitting on Naruto's bed.
"Now just follow it." Naruto and Sakura sat across from each other cross legged. They were holding hands and Sakura had her eyes closed.
"Wait, you're going too fast," Sakura said.
"Ok, catch up. I'll go slower."
"There it is. It feels weird."
"It won't later. Next time you'll be able to do this without following my chakra marker."
"What are they doing?" Neji asked Sasuke, who just shrugged and leaned quietly against the wall.
"You're going too fast again."
"Sorry. See it now?"
"Yes."
"You're doing great, Sakura-chan."
"Oh! Oh! I've got it. I feel it." She squeezed his hands and her whole body tensed with excitement.
"Now just do what feels natural."
Sakura's concentration could be seen in her whole body, and then the air around the pair swirled and blew their hair around their faces.
"You did it!"
Sakura opened her eyes and looked stunned.
"I did it. And wind isn't even my element."
"I told you, you're a strong ninja." Sasuke and Neji came all the way into the room.
"You made it seem easy," she said.
Naruto laughed. "You should have seen Kakashi-sensei trying to teach this to me." Naruto pretended to hold a book in front of his face. Then he waved his arm distractedly to his side. "Your element is wind. Tear a leaf.
"I just stood there with absolutely no idea what to do. Half an hour later, Yamato was asleep and Kakashi yelled, 'I don't feel anything yet.'
"I stood there and worked and strained like I was trying to lay an egg for two hours. After the first day, my chakra was so bound up they had to carry me home."
Sakura was laughing. "You did a much better job. You taught me in less than half an hour, egg free.” She caressed his cheek. “You should consider staying in Konoha more and taking a team of Genin."
"Me?" Naruto sputtered. "And kids?"
"I think that is an excellent idea," Neji added.
"I don't think kids would like me. With the demon and all, well, I'm too...scary."
All three laughed.
"Naruto, I hate to break it to you, but you aren't the least bit scary." Sakura patted his leg.
Naruto turned to Neji looking completely affronted. Neji shook his head. "I'm sorry, my friend."
"Sasuke?"
"I have one word for you; orphans." Naruto's mouth opened and then closed, a surprised look covering his face.
Part way through dinner during which Naruto just picked at his food, Sasuke caught Naruto wincing. He lingered after the other two had left. "Your head is hurting you again?"
Naruto rubbed the back of his neck but didn't answer.
Sasuke crawled up behind him and dug his thumbs into the blond's shoulder muscles. The little gasping and moaning noises coming from Naruto were driving him crazy and before he knew it, he was completely hard.
He scooted forward and rubbed his erection against Naruto's ass. "Feel good?" He whispered in Naruto's ear.
"Mmm."
"Naruto." He slid his arms around so he could feel the smooth skin of Naruto's torso under his palms. "Can I sleep here tonight?"
He nibbled on an earlobe. "I miss you. I miss falling asleep on your chest, your arms wrapped around me."
He felt Naruto scoot closer. "I miss waking up to your heartbeat under my ear." Naruto's head fell back onto his shoulder and he was breathing through his mouth.
"Naruto, you're my best friend, my family and I love you so much." He waited for the blond to tense at those words and was elated when he didn't.
Sasuke moved from behind his friend and pushed him to lie down. "Do you still love me?"
Naruto looked up at him earnestly. "Oh yes, more than anything. Always."
"We're going to be okay then. As long as you love me, we can work the rest out." Sasuke brushed their lips in a light caress. Naruto reached into his hair and pulled him down for a full kiss.
Their tongues tangled slowly and Sasuke slid down to lie along Naruto's full length. Naruto was participating fully in the kiss and Sasuke's heart was soaring. He flexed his hips several times, grinding his full erection against Naruto's hip and slid his hand down toward Naruto's groin.
Sasuke almost cried out in his joy; Naruto was completely erect. He pushed his hand into Naruto's sleep pants, gripped the hot skin firmly and pumped in the way he knew aroused his lover.
His hips were thrusting in time to his strokes and he was panting into Naruto's neck.
"Fuck me." Sasuke rolled and pulled Naruto on top of him. "Please."
Then he did his very best to keep the anguish off his face as he felt Naruto deflate. When he thought he could manage it, he slid his fingers into the blond hair and asked in a normal voice, "Tell me?"
"I don't want to...hurt you?"
"You've never hurt me."
"I..."
"You have never hurt me even once in all the years I've known you. And since we've been together, you've never given me anything less than ecstasy."
"I'm not too...rough? Too big?"
"What do you remember?"
Naruto scrunched his eyes shut for several seconds, wincing. Then he shook his head. "Nothing, I guess."
"That's because it never happened." Sasuke rubbed soothing patterns everywhere he could reach. "There is nothing I love more than having and holding you inside me." He pulled Naruto's head down to his shoulder. "But even if we never work our way back to that, it's okay. I want to be together for the rest of our lives. You are my best friend."
"Why did this happen?" Naruto sighed. "Who would do this? To what purpose?"
"I don't know. I was hoping we'd figure it out. But I'm learning two things."
"What?"
"One, life is full of unanswered questions. And two, having the answers doesn't change them. I don't think knowing who or why would change where we are right now."
Sasuke sighed. "Although, maybe if I'd looked for answers sooner..."
"Stop. This is not your fault. If anything, it's mine." Naruto shook his head. "Strongest ninja? Bullshit. I let myself be taken by a genjutsu for months, and don't even have the faculties to know who did it."
Sasuke didn't disagree. "That's the most confusing part of this. You are the strongest ninja with Kyuubi enhanced senses. I can't even comprehend how this could happen. What kind of enemy could accomplish this? Personally, I haven't ruled out the demon."
Naruto snuggled into Sasuke's side, sounding drowsy. "I don't know.” He yawned. “Doesn't feel like it to me.”
Naruto drifted asleep and Sasuke noted the look of pain that returned to his face when his guard was down.
