As predicted, the “old lady” did have a fit. After a thorough examination and testing of the seal, to which Naruto nearly changed twice, Tsunade dragged the boy to the far side of the room and proceeded to have a “private” conversation with him. Neji and Sasuke waited where the Hokage had left them, and they both winced as she began scolding the other boy. They watched as he quietly responded to each comment and reprimand. He acted like this was not the first time he’d had to deal with this side of Tsunade, and bets were, it wouldn’t be the last, either.

Neji watched with a mixture of awe and trepidation to the whole thing. He’d helped Lady Tsunade out a little, telling her what he’s observed in Naruto’s chakra paths. He’d felt each time when Naruto had been about to lose it- the creepy sensation tingled down his spine and he’d have to force himself to stay still in the boy’s presence. The second time Sasuke had stepped in, eyes red and spinning. He didn’t understand why, but suddenly Naruto just relaxed, the pressure of the demon chakra gone and the red in his eyes just barely there. He took a moment to tear himself away from pitying the demon vessel’s scolding.

“Sasuke.” He felt the young man’s attention turn back to him even though the other hadn’t changed position or look at him. “What did you do to him under the Sharingan?” An utter stillness surrounded the raven.

“Do you not trust me, Hyuga?” The words had a dead feel to them.

Neji shrugged. He had no problem with the last survivor of the Uchiha clan. Even though it’d barely been months since he’d returned, bringing back Itachi’s dead body and credit to Orochimaru being permanently gone, he’d never had any real issue against Sasuke. “It s not a matter of trust. I just want to know what happened that you managed to calm him so quickly. He was not one to settle very well, much less when he began channeling the fox.”

“The fox respects those eyes. Or at least pretends to.” Regular Sharingan may not control the fox like the mangekyou could, but somehow he’d managed to impress the powerful being. He didn’t question the situation. “I came back because I knew Naruto would need someone to help keep the damned thing in line. After all, I didn’t really have any other goals that couldn’t be met while helping him out. And he is my best friend.” He pushed away from the wall. “I think he needs to be saved before Tsunade tears him apart.”

The two in question were in a staring match, Tsunade looking almost livid and Naruto glaring with an eerie almost glow to those red orbs. There was a strained silence between them, a pre-battle tenseness that had begun to fill the room. Neji followed the Uchiha and kept quiet. That little instinct he’d been ignoring since Naruto had shown up at his door was fairly screaming at him to run. He kept pushing it back, but he hoped Sasuke could calm the boy before he couldn’t restrain the feeling anymore. Seventeen year old jounin did not run in panic from the Hokage’s office.

“Excuse me, Tsunade- sama. Naruto, stand down.” Red fox eyes turned their heavy glare at the Uchiha, whiskers stretching on his cheeks. He was way too close to losing his tedious control. His gaze shifted past the raven and met the glorious view of the hesitant Hyuga. His nose twitched, and he stepped away from the pair of ninjas next to him and stalked towards the white eyed young man. Red tinged the air around him and then suddenly, the targeted ninja poofed away. Naruto snarled, whirling in place, trying to figure where the other had gone. Then his head snapped back and met the swirling tomes of the Sharingan. The two ANBU guards popped in just as Naruto sighed and everything around him relaxed.

Lady Tsunade gestured the guards out before turning her full attention on the pair of ninja before her. “I do hope you’re going to explain what just happened.”

Sasuke was tempted to be short with the woman, but knew he needed to admit at least a few things. “Isn’t it obvious? Kyuubi was coming too close to the surface. I used the Sharingan to make him return to his quiet caged self.” Not utterly true, he knew the demon was ranting and raving at him. But he had given Naruto control back, for the moment at least. “Itachi said it’s possible to control the nine-tails through the mangekyou sharingan, but he responds well enough to me without that level. I’ve done this for Naruto a few times now, just so he doesn’t have to fight the fox all the time.”

“That’s what you did earlier, wasn’t it? Last time he was fighting the demon.” Sasuke looked away, denying and admitting nothing. “If this is becoming such an issue he’s going to at least need a guard at all times.” Sasuke finally looked up, breaking contact with the younger man. Naruto promptly collapsed to the floor and Sasuke let him. “There is only one other person that can do this for Naruto, and he can’t be demanded to do this all the time. Assign me a permanent place alongside Naruto. I can make sure he keeps control of Kyuubi and doesn’t get into trouble.”

She didn’t have lots of other options and Sasuke knew it. He smirked when she finally gave her consent. “Fine. You’re at his side from now on. You will room together, will go on the same missions. And I want you to report to me immediately should he ever seriously lose control or do something like this again. Understood?”

“Yes, Hokage- sama.” The ninja tossed Naruto, still unconscious, over his shoulder. “I will stay in contact as ordered.” He quickly formed the hand seals and poofed from the room as well. He had to find a safe place before Naruto woke back up and got updated about the new situation.

He groaned. The Uzumaki was going to shred him when he found out. Most likely literally.
