COLD PART 3
MAY 2nd 2011
AUTHORS NOTES
AU of Manga chapter 452 onwards- A very different meeting between Naruto and Team Samui creates a different reaction from Naruto.
This fic is a Naruto/Samui pairing, Drama/Humor/(kinda) Romance fic.
'This' means someone is thinking.
Italics alone means the name of something, i.e. Jinchuriki, Katon Jutsu.
Horizontal ruler (a line across the page) means a page break or timeskip, may be a few minutes, may be a few hours...
-X- means a scene change, i.e. we start with Sakura and Sai in a clearing, then we go to Naruto and Samui in her apartment- a scene change from a street to an apartment.
This chapter starts out a little slow but picks up, the fourth chapter will have more action in it.
This story started out simply as Naruto/Samui smut. Later I came up with the idea of using the background to look more deeply at Naruto's childish (and often deluded) outlook on the world, his delusions regarding Sasuke and his dysfunctional relationships in general. This is meant to be dramatic as well as kinky and humorous.
Disclaimer; I do not own Naruto or any of the characters or ideas involved. This is non profit-I am making no money from this.

"What do you mean you're going to see the Raikage?" Sakura yelled at Naruto causing the supposed S-class ninja to backpedal from the small girl in fear.
"I'm going to talk to him about Sasuke." He replied, adopting the position of someone about to dodge a punch.
Yamato jumped in; "The Gokage summit's about to begin! Every shinobi village is expected to curtail excursions and unnecessary missions outside their village! You no longer have the sealing necklace! You, as the Jinchuriki, mustn't-"
Naruto had zoned out, wondering; 'What happened to you Yamato? You used to be cool.'
"-And I can't stick to you every minute, having been assigned the task of reconstructing the village!"
"I saw the Fourth Hokage." Naruto said simply.
"?"
The room (or tent) was stunned- actually they looked more confused, like they were wondering if Naruto was sniffing glue or had taken a hit to the head.
"The one who stopped me from going nine-tailed during the fight with Pain was the Fourth Hokage."
"The Fourth Hokage is dead..." Sakura whispered sounding disturbed.
Kakashi stepped in. "The Shiki Fujin... a lot about isn't understood due to its complexity. The Fourth may have stored some of his mental energy within the sealing spell. It could be possible if the Fourth used a variation of Kage Bunshin to copy his thoughts and memories and sealed the clone mind within the seal." Kakashi paused as he considered just how much complexity would be required to house a clone of a human consciousness, on top of a prison for an immensely powerful demonic spirit no less!
'I guess that's why they called you the best, sensei...'
"The Fourth Hokage told me... the Akatsuki guy who wears a mask was behind the Kyuubi attack sixteen years ago! His name is Uchiha Madara and he's the one pulling the strings. Pain was just being used!"
He paused for a second.
"And... he's probably using Sasuke now too."
"Madara? That's impossible. He's dead, and even if he wasn't, where's he been for the past several decades? Plus, we fought the masked guy while Sasuke was fighting Itachi- he didn't move like a guy who was pushing a hundred years old." Yamato coolness dropped another point as the former ANBU operator seemed to be panicking now.
"Who is this Madara jerk? Samui-cha-errr, the cloud ninja mentioned he fought the Sandaime Tsuchikage and that he had Mangekyo Sharingan, but nothing else." Naruto hoped Kakashi didn't notice his little slip, his reputation was positive for once, he didn't need people knowing a foreign Kunoichi made him her bitch.
"Madara was once the head of the Uchiha clan, he turned traitor, fought the first Hokage, lost and was believed killed. Nothing was heard from him again."
The Copy Ninja paused for a moment.
"This information needs to be reported to the council... Sai, could you contact Danzo and report this?"
He turned back to Naruto, his voice softer than it had been. "Naruto. Did... the Fourth say anything else to you?"
Naruto paused, gulped remembering what his apparent father said to him, and how it related to what had happened more recently.
"He said... he told me... he believed in me!" He yelled the words at the top of his lungs as thought they validated or solved the various problems and disasters he had been facing recently.
"I'm sorry, but we can't leave the village. It'll just make this situation worse- even if Kumo doesn't use this situation to their political advantage, you going AWOL is all the excuse Danzo needs to lock you up."
"Grr... fine I'll stay right where you can see me. Is that all right with you, Mom?" He turned to Yamato whose coolness had significantly dropped over the last few minutes.
"I'm going to get something to eat." Naruto left.
When he was sure no one was watching the orange Genin burst into the puff of smoke all Kage Bunshins were fated to.
-X-
Several miles away, outside Konoha's outer wall, sitting on the remains of an abandoned military outpost from the last great war, the real Uzumaki Naruto frowned as the memories of the clones conversation flowed into his mind.
'Just as I expected. Time for plan B...'
Taking a deep breath he thought back to the various meditative techniques Jiraiya had taught him, then went through the related Senjutsu awakening technique. He opened himself up to the power, the essence of the world around him; his anger over Sasuke's latest betrayal, the horror of the Akatsuki attack on Konoha, his confusion and hurt over the... mess with Samui. The nature energy flowed into him granting him awareness beyond sight, sound, smell, touch or taste. Naruto could actually sense the life force of living creatures both great and small for miles around; he felt a child being pulled from rubble of a... collapsed building? A medic healing broken ribs with medical jutsu. Birds flying through the air uncaring of man's latest self destructive episode.
Naruto hadn't mastered Senjutsu- not by a long shot, he couldn't control what he sensed, zero in and search for one single energy source without assistance- like when he used Pain's chakra receiver as a type of focus to find Nagato's approximate location, however he felt himself drawn to one moving energy source in particular- the one he was actually looking for; Samui's. It felt bizarrely warm and vibrant given her cold, all business bitch persona, Naruto actually felt himself drawn to it wanting to wrap himself in the warmth, to drown in the energy.
Naruto felt himself snapped out of it when the ancient wall he was meditating on collapsed, Naruto caught himself before he landed on his head. He looked around and saw that the sun had gone down. 'How long have I been... ogling Samui's life force? I should get this done...'
Creating two more Kage Bunshin (one to help in ongoing search and rescue operations, the other as backup) Naruto rushed off in the direction of the presence he had become very familiar with.
'Hopefully I'll find what I'm looking for...'

TETSU NO KUNI
Samui studied the frozen forests of the Land of Iron, searching for their Kage and his escorts. She was unaffected by the cold and howling wind despite wearing only a short cloak over her usual tantalisingly short and thin clothing.
A disturbing familiar feeling shot through her; they were being followed. While Samui was no high level sensor like her colleague C, it was impossible to miss the massive single source of chakra emanating from behind them, she signalled in code to her team mates to change course.
Team Samui kept running in a very different course to their original that would rendezvous with the Raikage until they entered a small town, primarily made up of one storey wooden houses, quite nice to look at. They walked up to a cosy looking Inn on the outskirts of the picturesque location.
"Why are we stopping here? There's plenty of hours left before dark."
"This is as far as we go with us being followed." Samui whispered. Before the busty Kunoichi realised her mistake Karui acted;
"Show yourselves, cowards!" The Kunoichi declared adopting an aggressive pose and puffing herself up to full levels of righteousness.
'Subtly is a foreign subject to you isn't it Karui?'
Naruto stepped out from their hiding place, careful not to provoke the three Kumo ninja he now faced.
"Hey look Samui! It's that guy you 'received a great deal of information' from." Omoi grinned with obvious sarcasm.
Naruto stared at Samui, trying his best to put on that 'mask' professional ninja wear. Or at least not look like a puppy returning to his master. Or just a complete idiot. He turned away from her cold eyes and looked at the ground in front of her noticing how attractive her toes and ankles looked against the pretty white snow.
'Damn it! I even think her feet look good! What the hell is wrong with me!'
He forced himself to focus on the three faces; Karui looked angry (again), Omoi looked between amused and annoyed, Samui looked cold- although he swore he could see some annoyance there.
-X-
TENPI INN
"Why are you following us?" Samui asked, happy that inside the warm building she didn't have to shout over the wind.
"I planned to follow you to the Raikage and petition him. You're- pretty good. To have detected me I mean. Could you pass my request on to your superiors when you see them?" Naruto worded it as politely as he knew how, aware they would not lead them to the Raikage when he was on the road under minimal guard and that this was far from the best plan ever conceived.
"Hmm. But, don't you think this is a bit rude? To follow us on our way to our leader, in this dangerous, unforgiving territory, without any prior notice or our consent..." Omoi scolded in his most smarmy/condescending voice.
"Yes, I know-"
"Screw that! You, blond stud! Talk! Or I cut you up!" Karui growled.
Naruto gulped, but not because of the latest threat against his health.
Samui frowned- perhaps the closest the reserved woman could come to a panicked expression. 'Please don't do something stupid or embarrassing.'
"Uchiha Sasuke... I want the Raikage to cancel his death..."
'You idiot...' Samui felt like punching him.
"I don't want Sasuke's death to become the cause of war between Konoha and Kumo! I don't want either my comrades or yours to seek vengeance!" He carried on.
"You're here to plead for mercy for Sasuke? After everything he's done?" Karui shouted.
"No. I want your Kage to allow Konoha to deal with Sasuke. Specifically I will kill him." Naruto replied with total conviction feeling strangely unaffected by the fact that he had just declared himself to be Sasuke's executioner. But there was no choice. By joining the Akatsuki, especially now, after Pain's murderous rampage through Konoha, Sasuke had done something even Naruto couldn't forgive.
Omoi looked stunned- either by Naruto's courage for coming here alone, or by his stupidity at coming here alone. Karui looked murderous. Samui kept her furious fellow Kunoichi back with a dismissive gesture.
"You two go get something to eat. The leaf ninja and I have business to talk about." She spoke through gritted teeth which was the most angry they had seen Samui since that time Killer Bee spiked her tea with Hyoragan- taking the Kumo version of the pills of concentrated stimulants and nutrients when fully rested had Samui bouncing off the walls like an eight year old on a sugar high.
"By business they mean sex right?" Omoi nudged his team mate as they watched Samui storm off with Naruto following her without cue like a puppy.
-X-
Naruto and Samui stood alone in an abandoned building on the edge of town.
"You came all this way alone, risking your life to plead for the chance to be the big hero who vanquishes evil all on his own? I thought you were socially retarded, not stupid."
Naruto tried not to wince at the Kunoichi's harsh tone. "Listen to me. Sasuke has always been obsessed with vengeance and death. I don't want anyone else to become like him. If someone from your village kills Sasuke it'll start an escalating cycle of violence between our two villages, I don't want Konoha and Kumo to kill each other over one person's hatred."
Samui blinked at Naruto's choice of language wondering how someone so quickly went from being so stupid they seemed brain damaged to speaking like an actual ninja with vision of the future.
"Letting the Uchiha walk is impossible considering what he's done and who he's aligned with. But I will pass your... request along to the Raikage."
"He's going to reject it out of hand, isn't he?"
"Yes. The Akatsuki are to be named international criminals. Once that happens, all members of the organisation will be hunted down and eliminated by the forces of all five Great Shinobi nations. You stood your ground and submitted a request for an end to violence, even though it isn't possible. Your actions are stupid, but brave."
Naruto knew this wasn't a good idea. But he felt he had to do it- while Naruto believed he could restrain himself if foreign Ninja killed Sasuke he didn't think Sakura, Ino or any of the last Uchiha's ignorant fanclub could. They may set out for revenge, die, and their deaths would fuel a new war. Naruto would not let war touch Konoha again, that was why he was here, he was not here for Samui... not primarily anyway...
"I didn't come all this way alone just to talk about Sasuke... back at the village... why'd you go so far?"
"What do you mean?"
"Someone told me Shinobi were a battle against hatred... he should have also said they were a battle against despair, against cynicism..."
He paused remembering the other reason he was here.
"Why did you... you know." He blushed. "Then... walking away like it was nothing... do you hate Leaf ninja? Or me?"
"I don't hate you. When I walked through your village, people spoke of you. They believe in you- some say you should be Hokage- this means you have a responsibility to them- you can't afford to endanger yourself or others on a whim or misguided desire. That's not what Hokages do."
"How could I be Hokage when I can't even... I won't give up! I can't just walk away from what happened. I felt something. I know you did too."
"You're confusing lust with love."
"No... I admit to not knowing all that much about relationships but I know that..."
Samui turned away. This talk was making her uncomfortable.
"You're not supposed to come back... you're supposed to move on and change and not..." Her voice wobbled, not quite breaking.
"What happened to make you give up on people? To- !"
He turned as he sensed a new presence; Uchiha Madara sitting on the windowsill. Even with his face hidden behind his distinctive orange mask Naruto could tell by his posture he was amused.
"Oh don't stop on my behalf, I was riveted by the drama. I should have brought popcorn..."
ELSEWHERE IN TETSU NO KUNI
A team of Hatake Kakashi, Inuzuka Kiba, his partner Akamaru, Haruno Sakura and Sai stormed through the snowy region. They had discovered Naruto's deception when his Kage Bunshin was asked to help in lifting a piece of rubble during the still ongoing search and rescue operations- the clone cut a finger open on a sharp piece of metal- barely more than a paper cut but still enough to dispel the clone. A simple sensor jutsu from Yamato confirmed that Naruto had left the village. Kakashi had quietly put together a team and set off after him, using Pakkun to follow his scent. The group were silent, and keeping a safe distance from Sakura.
'Naruto, if this had anything to do with that bitch with beach balls inserted under her skin I will gouge your eyes out... no, first I'll castrate you, then I'll gouge your eyes out that way you'll get to see your balls being cut off from your body...'
-X-
Naruto stood alone staring into the night, the snow lightly falling, bizarrely Madara had shown up only to monologue about the forgotten past, made a few threats, then left without a fight, but the masked man's words still rang in his ears...
"You assume you know Sasuke's true feelings... but you couldn't be more in the dark."
"He chose vengeance... he is of my kind."
"It is the blood soaked Uchiha destiny of hate. A curse that's been repeating over and over since the ancient past.
"You are just the next in line to be chosen by destiny."
"The Uchiha clan is cursed with a destiny of vengeance..."
"What a sad, pathetic man."
"What?" Naruto snapped out of his selective flashbacks hearing Samui's familiar voice.
"Madara. From his little history lesson it sounds like he long ago decided to blame all of his problems and hide from his actions using curses and destiny and fate... he's stopped..." She paused.
"Stopped believing in people? That humans can change for the better?" Naruto supplied.
"Yes." Samui looked down disturbed.
'Is that what I've become? Like him?'
"When... he was talking... Madara... I saw snowflakes land on his clothes, his cloak flutter in the wind. He must only be able to stay intangible as long as he can hold his breath."
"Yeah. Good eye there..." Naruto commented, knowing he'd hit a nerve.
Samui's team mates leapt in, swords drawn.
"We heard an explosion. What's going on? Please tell me it was rough sex. If it was- describe. With diagrams if possible." Omoi improperly shouted.
Naruto freaked out, sweat and even steam appeared, he babbled incoherently.
"We were discussing politics of inter-village relations when we were attacked by an Akatsuki member."
"Er, yeah, that." Naruto respected Samui's ability to stay cool- no ticks or tells at all.
Karui turned to Omoi. "Ha! I told you they wouldn't get past foreplay. You owe me dinner. Something very expensive..."

"So you think this Madara guy is the Akatsuki leader? So where the hell's he been for the past few decades?"
"We don't know." Naruto replied.
"Why is he showing up now?"
"We don't know."
"If this guy's so powerful, why was he using pawns to hunt Jinchuriki for him?"
"We don't know." Naruto was getting annoyed now.
"There just seems to be quite a few gaps in your 'Uchiha Madara is the wizard behind the curtain' theory. How'd you find out about this anyway?" Omoi questioned.
"It's not a theory! I was told by... a dead Hokage who... appeared in my head."
The three Kumo ninja stared at him like he was crazy.
"Naruto!"
Naruto looked down through the buildings Rasengan created hole to see four annoyed looking Leaf Ninja looking up at him; Sakura, Kakashi, Kiba, Akamaru and Sai.
"Naruto... we need to talk..."

END CHAPTER 3
AUTHORS NOTES
The idea behind this chapter was for Naruto to state his intentions and once again be sure of himself while giving Samui a reason to be unsure. There will be a lot more action in the fourth chapter.
This story isn't in danger of dying, if it was I would post a warning about it on my authors page and let someone else adopt the story.
