disembodiedvoiceofthedying:- Thanks for the long review! Yep, SasuNaru rules but anything yaoi is good for me. Yes, Shippuden is great and although the movie doesn�t have any ACTUAL yaoi moments, if you watch it with that frame of mind, some of the things they say and do could be interpreted that way *snigger* I hope you enjoy the rest of the fic.

Naruto arrives in this chappie - lets find out what happens together�

________________________________________________________________________
The angry roars were echoing around the courtroom, rising to a crescendo. The gavel was repeatedly struck as order was called but none would listen. In the gallery, the age-mates of the Uchiha screamed the loudest, their protests ringing through the noise with perfect clarity. Sakura yelling about the injustice; Lee booming about the unfair loss of precious youth and the others making their voices known too.

Sasuke heard it all and yet the only voice he could not hear was the only one that mattered to him. �Oh, Naruto,� he thought, �you didn�t come. Where are you?� A coldness began to settle once again upon his heart, burying the feelings of love, regret and sorrow beneath their layers until he was nothing but an empty shell. He decided that there was no way that they were going to get any reaction out of him other than cold acceptance. He would not degrade and disgrace himself by begging.

�SILENCE!� Tsunade screamed over the noise. She was breathing heavily, panting in rage and anger. �What the HELL do you mean by passing that sentence?! Uchiha Sasuke has done this village many favours; you should be thanking him on bended knee not killing him!� She would have continued but the sound of the gavel again being struck stopped her in her tirade as she grit her teeth against the annoyance she felt at being interrupted.

�Tsunade-hime,� the Elder�s sour voice rang forth into the now silent courtroom, �We have made our decision and even you, as Hokage, do not have the power to change it. The Uchiha will die at sunset, of that we are certain.�

�I wouldn�t be so sure if I were you, tebayo!� a strong, husky voice drawled contemptuously.

As one, all eyes within the room turned to see Naruto standing in the doorway, eyes blazing in silent fury as they rested on the members of the council. He stood straight and tall, his blond locks falling into his eyes in disarray with the absence of his headband, his jacket open at the front, showing his tanned chest covered only by his mesh shirt. He seemed to radiate power and strength which amplified his already handsome features, until more than one person felt they were looking at the young man�s father, and their Yondaime Hokage, Namikaze Minato.

Sasuke felt warmth returning to him as the hopeful flame was once again ignited. Turning sharply, his eyes fixed upon his dobe, his angel, his saviour, who had managed to produce another miracle and had pulled him back from the darkness.

The blond had never looked so good to him. Proud and wilful, as handsome as himself though in a different way, and shinning with the determination that had always made him so strong. The raven felt his heart clench as those amazing blue eyes focused on his own coal-black.

�Uzumaki Naruto. What is the meaning of this? There is nothing that you can do or say that will change anything. You are too late; the sentence has been passed. I will not have anymore of this nonsense!� the Elder practically screamed.

Instead of screaming back, (which is what everyone had expected of their most energetic shinobi), he fixed his gaze upon the Elder that had spoken and gave a small, grim smile. Breaths were drawn by many as they recognised the triumph within that smile and waited for his next move. Sasuke�s heart began to pound as the blond slowly made his was towards him, his pace sure and almost cocky, his swagger laced with triumphant pride.

�Really? Well, I�m sorry to tell you this but you�re wrong, tebayo. You won�t be killing Sasuke today; in fact, you�ll be re-instating him as both a citizen and a shinobi of Konoha.� He stopped inches away from the raven, keeping his eyes on the Elder to which he had spoken, who had burst out in derisive laughter.

�Excuse me? And why would we do such a thing? The Uchiha will die, there is no way we�d accept him back into Konoha.� The blond�s next words were soft and so quiet they were almost missed.

�Yes, you will. You�ll have no choice but to do so.�

This momentarily stopped the old man in his tracks; the blond had spoken with absolute surety. His eyes narrowed as he regarded the jinchuriki before him who, in his eyes, had always been a threat and would undoubtedly be the one he disposed of next. �But for now,� he thought cruelly, �let�s hear what he has to say.� He smirked evilly at the young blond and felt a kind of perverse thrill when the jinchuriki visibly stiffened.

�Oh? And why is that?� he hissed. The blond straightened before proclaiming in his strong voice,

�Because I declare Sekinin No Aru.�

Half an hour before-

The angry, fire-like chakra swirled around him, wrapping him in pain as his skin began to peel away. He screamed as the rage-sharpened chakra tore at his insides, threatening to break him as the seal upon his stomach burned.

�No!� he screamed, �You can�t do this! Don�t!� The demon fox merely chuckled as tails began to form; one, two, three.

WHY DO YOU FIGHT? IF YOU LET ME TAKE CONTROL, I�LL KILL THE COUNCIL FOR YOU, THEN YOUR PROBLEMS WILL BE SOLVED.

The blond screamed again as more of his flesh disintegrated, revealing contorting muscles as the blood streamed freely.

�No. You�ll just kill them and then hurt others! The ones I care about! I won�t let you do this�� He clenched his fists as he shut his eyes tight, trying to force the demon back with sheer force of will.

HA HA HA. YOU�RE PROBABLY RIGHT, I WOULD DO THAT. BUT I WOULD LEAVE THE UCHIHA ALIVE FOR YOU. LET ME OUT. I MAY KILL THE OTHERS BUT I�LL SPARE YOUR PRECIOUS SASUKE-KUN I SWEAR.

�WHAT YOU SAY MEANS NOTHING! I CAN�T TRUST YOU AND I NEVER WILL! ARGH!!!!�

The forth tail was forming and Naruto could feel it corroding his mind, trying to make him forget everything but the rage building up inside. He reached for control, desperate to stop this as he yelled at the demon.

�GET BACK IN YOUR CAGE, YOU DAMN FOX!!�

With a flash of blood-red light, he found himself within his own mind, standing before the cage that contained the Kyuubi.

RELEASE IT, the demon whispered, RELEASE THE SEAL AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE POWER TO SAVE THE ONE YOU LOVE. YOU KNOW YOU CAN�T DO IT ALONE, YOU�RE NOTHING WITHOUT ME, TOO WEAK TO SAVE ANYONE. RELEASE IT AND I�LL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT.

The words were softly uttered and they were having a strange effect on the blond. He found himself moving towards the bars, stretching out his hand-

YES. YES, THAT�S IT. the fox encouraged.

His fingers curled around the seal, ready to tear it off-

�No.�

Naruto gasped as a hand closed around his wrist, a tanned hand attached to a man with bright yellow hair, wearing Hokage�s robes.

�Yondaime Hokage�� he murmured as the legendary figure he had always admired turned to face him with a small smile.

�The seal is set so that if you are ever tempted to remove it, I�ll appear within your consciousness. I didn�t want that to happen.� He turned his head to address the one within the cage. �I never wanted to see you again�Kyuubi.� The demon fox roared in anger as he thrashed his tails against his cage.

YONDAIME! HOW I WISH TO DESTROY YOU FOR IMPRISONING ME! I WILL DESTROY YOU!

Said Hokage only raised an eyebrow at the fox in disdain before continuing, looking back to Naruto.

�But� I looked forward to seeing how my son had grown so I guess you could call it even. Anyways, Naruto�� Naruto stood incredibly still, shock evident on his face.

�Naruto�? You know my name? How do�?� he managed to gasp as the young Hokage chuckled,

�Heh! Well, I mean, I gave you your name. You�re my kid, after all.� The young kitsune�s eyes widened at those words. Reaching out towards his idol, he asked,

�Kid? Wait, you mean-� Minato smiled as he nodded in confirmation.

�Yep! Like I just said, you�re my son.�

Naruto didn�t know what to make of it; it had to be a dream, yet it felt so real. Tears ran down his cheeks even as he started laughing. Embarrassed, he hid his face within his arms as Minato continued to smile at him with loving understanding in his eyes.

�I guess Sandaime never told you. He wanted as little information about the Kyuubi as possible out in the public.� He watched as his son tried to regain his composure. �If anyone knew you were my son, you�d have been in constant danger�� he lowered his eyes as he spoke softly, �Forgive me, Naruto.�

The young blond straightened as he gazed at the man he had always idolised, always wanted to be like who, as it turned out, was his own father.

�Dad�� he whispered before anger overcame him and, stepping forward, he delivered a powerful blow to the man�s stomach. Minato grunted as he received it, curling in on himself, but straightened when his son started to scream at him.

�Why did you seal the fucking Kyuubi in your own son?! Do you know how tough it�s been living with that?!� he took a deep breath as he struggled to make sense of what he was feeling, clutching at his head, �I�m happy, I�m pissed as hell�I dunno what to feel!!�

Minato stood, watching helplessly, as his son continued to sob his heart out, his own heart contracting painfully. Gently, he asked,

�Naruto�How old are you now?� Naruto sniffled as he managed to croak,

�Eighteen.� Minato smiled, looking over his son again.

�Eighteen, wow�I�ve�caused you a lot of grief, Naruto. I�m sorry�for all the pain you�ve suffered�� he closed his eyes with a heartfelt sigh, �Some father I am�all I can do is apologise.�

Naruto drew in breath sharply, tilting his head back to keep the tears that wanted to flow at bay. Once he had calmed, he turned to his father and, with a determined and proud look in his eyes, proclaimed,

�Whatever�I�m the Yondaime Hokage�s son, I can deal.� Minato chuckled, pride shinning through his every gesture as he patted Naruto on his head, ruffling his blond spikes.

�I knew you�d be able to deal with it�because you are my son. You�ll make an amazing Hokage someday�� Naruto lowered his eyes away from his father�s hopeful gaze.

�Really? Do you really think I can�� Minato smiled as he placed his fingers beneath his son�s chin and gently raised his head until their eyes met.

�Hey, a parent always believes that their kid can do anything, no matter what. The same as I believe you�ll save that Sasuke kid you love.� Naruto gasped as his father laughed at his shocked expression. �Oh yes, I know all about it! And I can�t say that I disapprove�he�s strong and good-looking, but�you�ll be fighting off the fangirls, son.�

Naruto laughed happily at the mental image of him and Sasuke running from a horde of screaming girls. Minato chuckled along with him before becoming serious once more.

�Now, it�s almost time for me to go�I�ll push the Kyuubi back for you and heal your injuries. Naruto, you�re so close to finding what you need! Look for the words �Sekinin No Aru�; that�s all I can give you to go on but once you find it, you�ll know what you have to do.�

Stepping forwards quickly, he pulled Naruto into a tight embrace. Running his fingers through his son�s silken hair, he murmured,

�Good luck, son.� Naruto, who had closed his eyes in contentment as he was gently held, clutched tighter as the world of his subconscious began to fade. Into Minato�s warm shoulder, he whispered,

�Thank you�Dad.�

Present-

The other members of the council began to murmur loudly to each other at the blond�s words. The Elder to whom he had made his declaration narrowed his eyes as he regarded the young man. �That idiotic demon,� he thought angrily, �how did he mange to find out about that law?� He gestured to his fellows to quieten as he glared at the jinchuriki.

�Uzumaki Naruto, you expect us to honour that? That law is extremely outdated-�

�And yet, it has never been repealed. The law still stands; you have no choice but to honour it.� Naruto spoke quietly and calmly, his eyes never leaving the old man�s face as he watched the anger build as the Elder realised he had been outwitted.

Sasuke had no idea what they were talking about, only that Naruto had managed to find something that made the council very angry. He almost couldn�t believe that it was happening; barely five minutes ago he had thought that he was going to die and that the blond had given up on him. Yet here Naruto was, facing the council, armed with knowledge that would overturn his sentence. The raven hardly dared to breathe or blink in case it was all a dream.

Tsunade was getting increasingly worried, She had never heard of the law about which Naruto spoke, which meant that it was indeed extremely old. She felt uneasy about that in itself; many of the old laws were no longer in use for legitimate reasons and she feared the �declaration� that the blond youth had made. Claiming �responsibility for another� when that person had been sentenced to death could not lead to anything good. She decided she needed to speak out.

�Excuse me, but what is this law? �Sekinin No Aru��what does it entail?� She directed her question to the council but it was Naruto who answered her. He smiled bravely as he took some age-faded papers from his pocket.

�I�m not sure how to explain it really,� he laughed as he rubbed the back of his head, �so I think I�ll ask Shikamaru to do it.� Handing the papers to the brunette, he lumped himself down into a seat on the other side of the Uchiha, putting his feet up on the table while giving the raven a hearty wink.

Shikamaru passed his eyes over the text in front of him, his frown growing steadily more pronounced as he realised exactly what Naruto�s �declaration� would mean. He moved his gaze to his blond friend, silently asking for confirmation that this was alright with him. The young jinchuriki flashed another wink and the lazy nin sighed before getting to his feet; he had his friend�s approval but more than one person was not going to like what had to be done. He faced his Hokage and explained,

�The law of �Sekinin No Aru� is essentially that, when a missing nin, or indeed any accused of Konoha, are sentenced for a crime, their sentence can still be pardoned. But only if a citizen of Konoha, who is uninvolved and guiltless of any other crime, declares responsibility, or �Sekinin No Aru�, for the convict.� The courtroom was silent as they all listened to his explanation. Tsunade�s brow was becoming increasingly drawn together; the council members were fidgeting nervously; Sakura had such a tight grip on Lee�s hand that he was wincing and yet Naruto continued to sit there, smiling lightly, like he didn�t have a care in the world. The raven beside him was watching him closely, a slight frown marring his handsome face as he realised the clever brunette wasn�t finished.

�If the declaration is made the one who declared it must prove the strength of his conviction for the claim by enduring a �punishment��. Many gasped and started to speak but Shikamaru continued swiftly, �The aim of this is, if they can endure the �punishment� for the convict�s crimes then it proves their faith in said convict, and results in automatic reinstation into the village for the accused. If they were a shinobi before it also provides them with reinstation into service with the rank they had previously.�

Everyone was muttering amongst themselves; this law was exactly what was needed to save the Uchiha yet, as Naruto had made the declaration, he would be the one to suffer the punishment.

Sasuke was not happy about it. Glaring angrily, he gripped Naruto�s upper arm in a vice-like grip as he leaned over to hiss in the blond�s ear.

�Endure a punishment for my crimes?! What the hell, Naruto?! The council hates you just as much as they hate me, what makes you think they won�t use this as an excuse to kill you?!� Although he was angry, fear was also laced within his voice and he couldn�t hide it from the blond. The young jinchuriki turned to him with a slight grin and leaned in close enough that the raven could fell his body heat and breathe in his dobe�s scent as his eyelids lowered to half-mast. Naruto chuckled, his heart dancing in elation as he noticed Sasuke�s reaction to his close proximity, and whispered delicately against the raven�s ear,

�They can�t kill me, teme. The condition is that I take your �punishment� but as I myself am innocent, moral law states I can�t die.� He breathed deeply as he took in Sasuke�s scent and felt the other boy shiver as his breath ghosted on the shell of a sensitive ear. He groaned quietly as he licked at it suggestively, beaming when the Uchiha�s eyes grew wide.

Seeing that Naruto was smiling happily, Sasuke relaxed before leaning in close and noticed that he had a similar effect on the blond to what he had on him. Smirking to himself, he growled �Later, dobe� before biting on a tanned earlobe, delighting in the sharp intake in breath that followed. He eagerly swallowed the small, needy moan that ripped from the blue-eyed boys throat, feeling his cock harden just from that sound alone. Realising it wouldn�t be a good idea for him to become aroused in the courtroom where he had just been tried, he pulled away regretfully, smiling softly at the glazed look in the blond�s eyes and the hasty breaths being drawn. Naruto smiled lazily back as he tired to control his rising arousal and let the Uchiha pull away; an unspoken promise to continue later being communicated through their heated gaze upon the other�s face.

The sound of the gavel finally brought them out of their daze as the Elder stood and addressed the room at large.

�Uzumaki Naruto has declared �Sekinin No Aru� for Uchiha Sasuke, convict sentenced to death. We will decide what the punishment will be and it will be carried out at sunset. Until then, Uzumaki is to remain confined to a cell, the Uchiha along with him. We will send for them both when it is time. That is all.� Casting one more hateful glance at the jinchuriki, he swept from the room, followed by the other councillors.

Shikamaru turned to the blond, sighing as he raised his eyebrow at him.

�Cutting it a bit fine, weren�t we?� he remarked before frowning at his friend, �Are you sure about this, Naruto? Whatever they choose to do to you, it won�t be pleasant.� Naruto smiled grimly before nodding,

�Aah, I have to do it. It doesn�t matter what they do to me, I said I�d free Sasuke and I will, whatever the cost.� The raven beside him closed his eyes as he reached for his dobe�s hand under the table. Away from prying eyes, he stroked his thumb lightly over the skin on the back of a tanned hand, feeling content as the blond clutched his hand tightly.

Whatever it was that Naruto would have to do, he hoped that it wouldn�t be as bad as he feared. The thought of his dobe going through pain because of him was unbearable though he knew that nothing he said would convince Naruto not to do it. All he knew was that, until sunset, he and Naruto would be alone in a cell, and he was going to make sure his young kitsune knew exactly how much he loved him for everything that he had done, and was going to do, for him.
