“Haruno Sakura,” the Godaime spoke clearly in spite of the tears streaming down her face. “You have been judged to be a danger to your fellow ninja, to Konoha and to yourself.”
Sakura stood on a wood platform, her arms anchored to two long chains extending from near her feet. She shivered so hard that her teeth were chattering.
“It is therefore our decision that you be put to death.”
Her whimpering could not be heard over the wrenching sobs coming from Naruto. The blond was on his knees, his forehead pressed against the wall. Sasuke had his arms around him from behind, holding him tightly.
“Do you have any last words before sentence is carried out?”
“S…S…Sasuke…” was all Sakura said. Naruto dropped his face in his hands and sobbed even harder.
Sasuke couldn’t bear this. He now truly realized just how far he had come, how much he had grown under Naruto’s kind, loving, examples of tolerance and forgiveness. Just as he loved Itachi, his own flesh and blood, despite anything his brother may or may not have done, Naruto still loved Sakura, his adopted sister, no matter what she had done.
He stepped between the Hokage and Sakura and dropped to his knees. “Mercy. Please have mercy on her.”
Sakura dropped to her knees as well. With the slack now in the chains, she was able to reach out to Sasuke.
“You do love me. I knew you loved me.”
Sasuke was overcome with sadness, for Naruto, for Tsunade, for Sakura, for himself. This whole thing had been about him and he felt so responsible.
He turned and pulled the konoichi into his arms and stroked her head. He bowed his head toward the Hokage.
“Please. I don’t think he can live with this.” They both looked at Naruto who was on his knees, his forehead now on the floor. His whole body was shaking with his sobs.
“Bring him here.”
Sasuke muttered soothing words to Sakura, then pulled away and went to Naruto.
“Naruto,” he whispered as he wrapped his arms around the blond and pulled him upright.
“Sasuke, please help me. This hurts too much. I can’t…,” he sobbed.
“I know,” Sasuke murmured. “Come with me.” He pulled his friend up and over to the platform.
“Naruto, you and Sasuke are the victims here. What would you have me do?”
Hope bloomed in Naruto’s face and she continued, “Would you see her spend her remaining years in Konoha prison?” His face fell again. “Or the psych ward of Konoha General?”
She touched his hair. “Aren’t you angry? Don’t you feel hatred for what she did to you?”
Naruto grasped her robes. “No. Don’t you see? I love him, too. I’d die for him. I’d kill for him. Should I be where she is because I’m the same danger?”
“Naruto, it’s not the same…”
“Please don’t do this,” he whispered. “I can’t live with it.” The earnestness in his face told her that consequences would be dire if this proceeded. This village would lose him, somehow, some way, if this execution continued.
“Then I ask you again, what would you have me do?”
Naruto looked at Sasuke for several long moments. Sasuke finally nodded; anything Naruto wanted had his full support.
Naruto turned back to the Godaime. “Give her what she wanted all along.”
Sasuke and Tsunade stood at the end of the hall and watched Naruto. He stood looking through the window of the room in which Sakura sat smiling and making small motions with her hands.
“So the council’s okay with his request for Sakura?” Sasuke asked.
She hesitated. “What they don’t know won’t hurt them.”
He raised a brow in surprise.
“I’m more concerned about whether you’re okay with it,” she continued. “I would think this would impact you more than anyone. They’re your clones maintaining the genjutsu. And it’s a life with you she’s living.”
“Since this is maintained by meditating sage clones, I’m not really even a part of it.”
He looked sideways at her. “I can’t promise that I won’t need them back at some point…”
She shrugged. “We’ll cross that bridge if and when we ever come to it.”
There were several moments of silence as they watched Naruto wipe tears from his cheek.
“That you would do this for her, even knowing that she killed your brother…” The last bubble in Naruto’s brain had been the genjutsu by Itachi’s body. From this they had learned the truth about that day.
“I’m proud of you,” she said quietly.
Sasuke felt a burning behind his eyes. He tried to remember if an adult had ever told him that they were proud of him.
“He’s teaching me to be a better man…,” was all he could manage before he had to clench his teeth in a fight against the lump in his throat.
Tsunade put her arm around his shoulder and pressed her lips to his cheek, holding it there a moment.
“I’m so glad you came home.” She squeezed his shoulder once more and then walked down the hall and around the corner.

Sasuke and Naruto worked hard to restore what they had.
After the last of Sakura’s additions had been removed, there was still a fair amount of doubt caused by real-time ruminations. But they made a pact with each other to bring everything into the open and not let anything fester in unspoken uncertainty.
Sasuke had thought he’d been unguarded and honest before, but had to learn a whole new level of openness. For example, he hadn’t realized what silence meant in a healthy relationship. And what it meant in a relationship in jeopardy.
It didn’t take long to notice that Naruto would often surreptitiously study him with anxious looks on his face when they were just sitting in silence. One morning during breakfast, Sasuke felt Naruto’s unease and finally looked up.
“What’s wrong?”
Naruto hesitated for several long moments than finally winced and said, “Are you mad at me?”
Sasuke blinked in surprise. “No. Why do you think that?”
Naruto just shrugged. “Can I ask…that is…”
“What?’
“What are you thinking about?”
Sasuke shrugged. “Nothing.”
Naruto ducked his head and went back to fretting in silence. It occurred to Sasuke that he hadn’t been truly honest with Naruto and that Naruto knew it. There was no such thing as thinking ‘nothing.” Nothing of consequence maybe, but never just nothing.
So he thought back. What had he been thinking about as he stared only half awake at his plate?
“I was actually thinking about that annoying drip from the faucet over there. I’m going to have to go to town for the supplies to fix it.”
Naruto stared at him for a few seconds, then smiled. “I was actually thinking about that last night when we went to bed. I can hear it from the bedroom and it was driving me crazy.”
“Naruto, you can ask me that anytime you want and I promise never to say ‘nothing’ again.”
“Is it okay? Really? I don’t want to be a pain.”
“Really. I can’t promise it won’t be the most boring thing you’ve ever heard, or how often it will be some version of one of us screwing the other’s brains out, but I have no problem with you asking.”
It didn’t take too long, however before Naruto no longer felt the need to ask and once again begin to take joy in comfortable shared silences.
Their sex life also needed tending. Sakura had planted a lot of doubts about their most intimate times together, and Naruto had fretted and fretted about what Sasuke liked and what repulsed him.
Nothing actually repulsed Sasuke and he’d had to keep a constant stream of dialog going, even cocooning them in chakra laced with his deepest emotions when they were together. Many times, Sasuke would go so far as to have their intercourse take place inside his mind, just so Naruto could feel what Sasuke was feeling.
Other parts of the recovery were also difficult. The artificial criticisms of his behavior around his comrades had also stewed in Naruto's mind during the 'real' times and had become infused with actual memories. These counterfeit visions had combined with the actual mistreatment he’d always received and were proving difficult to overcome.
But Sasuke knew who cared for Naruto and who didn’t. There were many in Konoha who truly cared for and respected his lover. So he bullied Naruto into social situations.
Naruto found himself sitting amongst his peers like a statue, no idea how to act, afraid to move or speak or eat. Finally when nervous tension would be on the verge of nervous breakdown, he would bolt.
Neji had followed Sasuke out the door the last time Naruto had rushed out of the restaurant looking on the verge of being sick and grabbed Sasuke by the arm.
"A word, Uchiha. Do you need me for anything tonight?" Neji asked.
Sasuke looked at him in confusion.
"I'll be leaving in the morning and will be gone for three weeks."
"Neji." Sasuke frowned. "Please promise you'll be careful. Naruto and I, both, would be devastated if anything happened to you."
"All will be well. I may not have the levels of power that Naruto has, but I do have some of my own advantages."
Sasuke studied his brilliant friend and nodded. "Yes, you do." He smiled. "Come see us when you return."
Neji bowed and then looked down the road where Naruto had fled. "And good luck to you. I wish you both happy and long lives together."
Then he bowed his head again and poofed away.

Three weeks later, Sasuke hadn't given up. His living room was full of most of the rookie nine and even Kakashi and Iruka had shown up.
Neji was also in attendance, having just returned from his first mission as Naruto’s replacement.
He was different, Sasuke realized. It came to Sasuke that the brunette had gotten laid. And he’d liked it. Sasuke smirked as he watched Neji casting appraising glances in Sai’s direction.
So the food was ready and the guests were mingling and chatting. The trouble was that Naruto was nowhere on the premises.
Pulling on every reserve of patience he’d ever had, he went to the place he suspected he’d find the missing blond; the training grounds.
Twenty minutes later, he was stomping through their kitchen dragging Naruto across the room by his ear.
"Hey bastard, that hurts. Wouldja let go, for fuck's sake?"
Sasuke didn't reply, just kept pulling until they got to within a foot of the door leading to the living room. He was stopped short when Naruto absolutely refused to budge another inch, earlobe or no.
"Sasuke, please," the blond whispered. He swallowed loudly and then swallowed again. "Don’t do this to me."
"Do you really never want to see these people again?" Sasuke let go of Naruto's earlobe and moved his hand to the orange covered waist.
"Well, no, but..." He hunched his shoulders and dropped his head. "I don't know how to act."
"Naruto, do you care about the people in the next room?"
"You know I do."
"Then show them."
"But…how?"
"Listen."
"Listen?"
"Yes. Ask them questions about things that matter, or don't matter, and then listen to what they have to say. And then share some of Naruto with them. I promise they’ll love him. They already do." He pulled Naruto into a hug. "You can do this. You've known these people all your life."
"Stay with me? Please?"
Sasuke carded his fingers through the blond spikes. "Always."
Naruto crouched on a piece of carpet by the chair in which Sasuke sat and leaned against his leg.
For some time, he just listened to the conversation around him. He found that after a short while, he was laughing along with everyone else at whatever piece of wit was flying about.
There was a short lull and he felt Sasuke nudge him. His heart was pounding and he knew his face was red, but he cleared his throat.
"So, I, uhm, missed the Jounin exams this past summer. Did I miss anything good?" He felt Sasuke squeeze his shoulder in approval.
He couldn't have picked a better question. After being razzed for a good twenty minutes about the fact that he was still technically a Genin, the raucous descriptions of the exam had everyone in stitches.
Naruto listened as friendly insults were tossed around and stories of might and wit were weaved by each Jounin. By the time the whole thing started to die down, Naruto knew that a stranger would have assumed the examinees ran the gamut from brainless ameba to superheroes.
"So, Naruto," Neji began. "Tell us one of your adventures of daring and danger."
Naruto was silent for several moments, concentrating on the feel of Sasuke's fingers brushing the back of his neck in silent support.
"You'll laugh."
"Undoubtedly," Neji offered a rare smirk.
"Bastard," the blond laughed.
"Well, there was this one time," he began, looking at his hands in his lap. "A couple of years ago Jiraiya and I were in Water Country. It was our first night there and the perv was three sheets to the wind as usual. Since I was only about a sheet and a half, I was in charge."
Quiet laughter filled the room as Naruto went back in time.
"If he'd bothered to stop by the Mizukage’s office, he'd've known, or could have guessed that we were probably walking into the location of the Ju Hachi Bandits. He might have decided that it would be a good idea to lay off the sake for one night." He shrugged. "Maybe."
"The Ju Hachi Bandits?"
"You saw the Ju Hachi Bandits?"
"Aren't they gone?"
"It was about three a.m. and I was dragging his sloshed ass back to the inn, when eighteen masked ninja dropped to the ground in front of us. I was scared shitless. Since I'd been drinking too, I knew there was no way I could take all of them, and Jiraiya couldn't take a piss by himself at this point."
"You were both drunk?
"What did you do?"
"How did you get away?"
"I was trying to keep him from face planting, and that's when I saw it and got an idea. The old lecher was weaving but still conscious and upright, so I thought that if the Ju Hachi were as stupid as the other gangs of bandits we'd met, there might be a chance."
He absently played with the hem of Sasuke’s pant leg and realized that he wasn’t really nervous anymore.
"So I stood as tall as I could while trying to keep the pervert on his feet and tried to sound important.” He put his fist to his chest and straightened, imitating the act from long ago and started in a higher, pubescent voice, "Stand aside. You are in the presence of the President and Secretary of the Association for Homicidal Lunatics."
Gusts of laughter flowed over Naruto and he felt Sasuke lean forward. "The idiots actually started fidgeting and then one finally said, 'Ain't never heard of 'em.'"
Naruto put his fist to his chest again and began to recite more of the conversation from three years ago. "'Yes, that's right. The Association for Homicidal Lunatics, or as we like to call ourselves, the Assss...Ho..hooo..les.'" The blond slapped himself in the forehead as the laughter swelled in the room. "Man, I was wishing the Genin curriculum included acronym training."
Ino and Kiba had tears rolling down their faces and were holding their sides.
“This skinny guy leaned over and said, ‘Hey boss, I think I heard of ‘em. Remember when that guy asked us if we were a bunch of assholes? Maybe he thought we were some of these here association fellas.’”
“This boss guy scratched his chin and nodded.
"Then I reached for the thing I'd seen in Jiraiya's pocket." His impersonation of his fourteen year old self began again. "'Yes, we are the Association for Homicidal Lunatics, and you should consider joining us. Here is a recruiting manual. Read it and get back to us.' I handed him Icha Icha Volume 39, Issue 4, the one with the big-boobed redheaded chick chained to a rock wall on the cover, and then got the hell out of there."
“You’re making this up.”
Kakashi had been riveted, but now he threw his arm in the air.
"No! It’s true." He reached inside his jacket and fished around for several moments. Finally he withdrew a rumpled looking sheaf and after giving it a brief hug, unrolled it and showed it to the crowd.
It was none other than Icha Icha Volume 39, Issue 4 and there on the cover was the redhead in question, complete with ball gag, handcuffs and more leather than a Nuke-nin convention. "My favorite issue. I always wondered why it was dedicated to the Ju Hachi."
By now even Sasuke was laughing out loud.
"And you were saved?"
"No." He wrapped his arm around Sasuke's calf. "Stupid pervert was furious that I gave away his Icha Icha. Said it was an unreleased manuscript or some shit and insisted I go rescue it."
"What?"
"You've got to be joking!"
"Yeah, I had to go rescue a piece of pornography. Ended up finding the hideout and with Kyuubi as backup, got the piece of trash back. And you're right," he looked at Shikamaru, "they are gone. Seems Kyuubi isn't fond of bondage, go figure, and was pretty pissed about having to rescue something touting the wonders of it. Nothing left but some fingernails and a few teeth."
"But I got even," Naruto continued with a wicked gleam in his eye. "I'd been with the old perv long enough to know mornings-after didn't agree with him. I laid the rag under his head and, just like clockwork; he woke with the sun and heaved two gallons of sake and a half-pound of sushi all over the damn thing. He ended up having to rewrite it anyway."
Sasuke heard the story and watched as Naruto's comrades laughed. But he heard the story and it broke his heart. As funny as the younger teen tried to make the story, it was still a tale of a lonely child, forced to call on a demon to save his own life against eighteen grown adult ninja.
But now, his blond was at his side, listening contentedly to other grand adventures until the early hours. As he watched the relaxed laughter and Naruto’s latent skill at bringing others into a conversation, making sure the attention was shared equally, all he could think was that life wouldn't be worth living if he couldn't spend it with his best friend and lover.
Finally the party broke up and he and Naruto walked everyone to the door.
Ino became one of his favorite people when she came up to Naruto and grasped his hand. "Thank you for sharing your stories with us, Naruto-sama." Then she leaned up, placed a quick kiss on his cheek and darted out the door. Naruto reached up and touched his cheek, looking stunned.
Sasuke hid a laugh as Neji gave a quick, distracted bow and slid out the door, his hands in his pockets. “Sai, a moment of your time?”
Finally after lots of handshaking and hugging, everyone was gone and Naruto leaned against the door in exhaustion.
"Hey, bastard." The blond’s voice was gentle, beckoning.
Sasuke leaned into him and smoothed back his hair. "Yeah?"
"Thank you."
Sasuke smiled and kissed the corner of the warm mouth. "You're welcome, although I didn’t do anything. You were wonderful.” He brushed his lips against the other corner. “You do know that I love you and I will..."
Naruto interrupted, "until the day I die."
Sasuke shook his head. "No. I will love you till the day I die."
Sasuke floated on a sea of sensation. He'd already finished as Naruto had made sure Sasuke found pleasure before seeking his own.
He so loved this. He loved when he wasn't so lost in bliss that he missed the building of Naruto's climax. He loved the languorous feelings swimming through him as he got to feel Naruto move inside him, shifting and shuddering. He got to bask in the sounds of Naruto's growls and groans. He got to feel gripping fingers and flexing muscles. He got to feel his heart swell as he watched the ecstasy Naruto was taking from his body.
"I want a child." Sasuke wasn't sure why it came out now.
Naruto stilled and his face closed off. He started to pull away.
"No. No, I mean I want us to have a child. You and me." He speared fingers into Naruto's hair. His voice dropped. "I want us to have your child."
He waited for Naruto to argue or balk. Instead he felt Naruto swell inside him.
"Really?" Joy filled him when Naruto didn't start throwing out excuses about them being two males or lying with women, trying to wring reassurances from him. It was a testament to the fact that the damage Sakura had inflicted was behind them. It told Sasuke that Naruto felt secure about Sasuke's love for him and believed they had a future together.
"When you become Hokage, I’ll take a job that will give me enough time to be home with children. I could probably coordinate much of your personal guard from here." He waited for any insecurity to rear its ugly head as denials and arguments. None came and warmth filled him to realize that they'd come far enough to eschew all pretense and share their most honest feelings with each other.
No one knew Naruto as he did.
"Or if you want to raise children in a civilian village, we can move."
"No. I could never leave these people. I don’t know if I believe in destiny, but if I have one, it's here."
"I'm not sure these people deserve you, but we'll live where you want."
Naruto smiled. "Have I told you recently that I love you?"
"No, it's been five minutes and I'm bereft."
Naruto dropped his lips to Sasuke's. "I love you."
He started moving again and Sasuke had mixed feelings to find that he was ready again and Naruto was burning his world away.
