An Interwoven Web Of Deceit

Sanctify Yourself

It seemed that the one day that she actually felt motivated enough to get on with some of her paperwork that was mounting up, she kept getting interrupted.
�Just once,� Tsunade sighed and covered her eyes with one hand, pushing the paperwork on her desk away with her other, �could you perhaps knock on my door instead of just entering?� She then looked up to see a man dressed in red and white, with long white hair leaning against the door opposite her desk, with a huge grin on his face. �What do you want Jiraya?�
�Is it a crime if I want to visit one of my favourite people?� Jiraya�s grin was wide.
�It is, when all you want to do is get a free room, food and sake,� Tsunade growled, moving her paperwork into one pile.
�Oh come on, I don�t always mooch off you.�
�Now look,� she began, then her door was slammed open. �Now what?�
�Tsunade-sama,� Shizume leaned on the doorframe, a worried look on her face, �Uchiha Sasuke has just entered the tower, carrying Naruto-kun in his arms. I think he�s hurt.�
Tsunade bolted past Shizume, heading down the stairs without waiting to ask what exactly was wrong. She burst into the small first aid room at the bottom of the staircase and immediately spotted Sasuke sitting on one of the chairs that sat next to a round table, Naruto in his lap.
�What happened?� she asked, taking in the strange seating arrangement, then dismissing it just as quickly, deeming it unimportant.
�I don�t know,� was the quiet reply. �One minute we were talking, the next he was crouching on the floor, holding his head and crying out for you.�
�Crying out?� Tsunade questioned.
�Yeah. I figured he must really be in pain if he�s actually asking for help.�
Tsunade walked over to the pair and crouched down next to Sasuke, staring intently at the blonde boy. Naruto had his hands over his temples, fingers pressing into the skin. His eyes were closed tightly and his teeth were clenched.
�What�s going on?� she heard Jiraya ask from the doorway behind her.
�Not sure,� she placed her hand over Naruto�s forehead and immediately felt the burning sensation. Of someone who had a very high temperature. �Sasuke, could you lay him down on the bed?�
Sasuke silently did as he was asked. He was even quieter that usual, Tsunade noted, which was strange for him. In her observations, he had always been a little mouthy around the brat.
�First things first,� Tsunade then turned to Naruto. �Who knows about your headaches or knows that you have been in pain?�
�Only Ino-chan and Kakashi-sensei,� Naruto whimpered out. �No one else has noticed.�
Tsunade chose not to respond to that, instead she beckoned to Jiraya. �Could you go out and grab one of the Hyuuga and bring them back here?�
�Why?�
�Just do it,� she snapped at the grumbling man next to her, �now!�
Complaining about something under his breath, Jiraya left the room and Tsunade then turned back to Naruto. �Could the pain be caused by�It?�
�No, It�s not responsible for this. It must be something else.�
Tsunade looked over at Sasuke, ignoring his curious look..
�You. Cold damp cloth. Put it over his head.�
Sasuke complied with her request., walking over to a small sink and rinsing a cloth under the tap. While he performed this little task, she gently pried Naruto�s hands from his head, then performed the seals to begin her healing Chakra and touched his forehead lightly.
�Do you have any idea what is wrong with him?� Sasuke asked, placing the damp cloth on Naruto�s head, just above where Tsunade had placed her hands.
�Unfortunately, no.� Tsunade frowned as Naruto continued to wince in pain. �When I last examined him I couldn�t find anything wrong at all.�
�When was that?�
�It was about a week and a half ago,� she mused, �when the Chunnin exams were announced.�
�Oh right,� Sasuke sounded hesitant, which surprised the Hokage even more, �so he never mentioned to you that Yamanaka used her Shintenshin no Jutsu

on him?�
�Sasuke!� Naruto growled weakly in protest.
�What?� Tsunade stared at the dark haired boy. �What happened?�
�I�m not sure. They both collapsed in what looked to be a dead faint, then about fifteen minutes later, they both began moving again. It looked like they were both in some kind of trance.�
�I�m going to have a long talk with that girl when I get my hands on her,� Tsunade grumbled. �Of all the stupid, reckless�� She trailed off.
Silence reigned for a few moments, until the door was swung open and Jiraya walked into the medical room, followed by both Neji and Hinata.
�Ah, good,� she gestured towards Neji, who looked at Naruto questioningly. �Come here.�
�What�s going on?� he asked, �Is Naruto alright?�
�That�s what I want to determine,� she answered. �Could you take a look at his Chakra system for me, especially around his head. He�s having headaches.�
�Of course.� Neji nodded, then stepped over to the blond on the bed. Hinata stepped around to the other side next to where Sasuke was seated an stared down at Naruto worriedly.
�Byakugan,� Neji�s eyes formed his family�s move and stared intently at Naruto�s unmoving form. �Well, his Chakra is slightly unstable, probably because of a leak on his head.�
�A leak?� Tsunade moved to lean over Naruto from near the pillow. �Can you show me where?�
Neji moved forward and ran two fingers through Naruto�s hair slightly, moving slowly, then stopping at a point by his left temple, just over his eye. �Just here. It�s a very light stream, but very close to his pulse point which is probably why he is in a lot of pain. Sealing the Chakra hole might solve the problem.�
�Thank you Neji,� Tsunade removed the boys hand and replaced it with her own, using her healing energy on that one point. It seemed to work, since Naruto began to relax and he stopped his light whimpering to a point where his eyes were open again.
�How are you feeling now?� She asked.
�I�m okay. Thanks Tsunade-baba, Neji.�
Neji inclined his head, then beckoned to Hinata to leave with him. She smiled and waved goodbye, then left with her cousin. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted Neji look back at the blonde, with what she was sure was concern.
�Are you really alright?� Tsunade heard Sasuke ask Naruto, in a tone that sounded like he didn�t believe the earlier statement.
�I�m fine. It�s only a slight throbbing again, as usual.�
Tsunade frowned at that statement. So there was still something wrong.
�Brat,� she sat down on the edge of the bed and stared at the blonde boy. �I�m prescribing at least a day of bed rest. Go back to your apartment and get some sleep.� Her frown deepened when he began to protest. �Sasuke, make sure the little troublemaker gets his rest would you.� She got back up and headed over to the door where Jiraya was still standing, waiting quietly with a slightly worried look on his face. �Also, inform Yamanaka Ino that I would like a word with her as soon as she can get here.�
�Ok,� was the Uchiha�s response, and Tsunade sighed, then left the medical room, a creepily silent Jiraya walking behind her. She felt her patience wearing away the longer the silence continued
�That�s it,� she snapped as soon as she entered her office. She spun around and grabbed the edges of Jiraya�s red top. �What is the problem.�
�I�m just worried.�
�You�re worried? Aren�t we all?� Tsunade let go of Jiraya and slumped down onto her seat. �Aren�t we all?�

The journey back to Naruto�s apartment was done in silence. Sasuke had carried the blonde boy back in his arms again, much to Naruto�s protests and had made him go to bed as soon as they had arrived. Now Naruto was curled under the covers in his bed and Sasuke had taken a seat on the bed next to him.
�How are you feeling?�
�Cranky,� Naruto muttered. �You didn�t have to carry me. I could have very easily walked back you know.�
�Probably, but It�s too late now,� Sasuke smirked. �I meant your head though. Also, what were you and the Hokage talking bout when you mentioned �It� to each other?�
Naruto stiffened and looked away from Sasuke and stared at the far wall.
�What do you care anyway,� was the muttered reply. �You hate me, remember.�
Sasuke frowned at this response and leaned forward towards Naruto and gripped his face in his hands, turning his head so that they were staring at each other.
�Now you listen to me Dobe,� Sasuke stroked his cheeks, thumbs moving gently over the lines on his face. �I don�t hate you, not at all. I never did. It�s just that I�ve never been very good at showing what I am feeling.� He felt his heart begin to beat harder at the feel of Naruto�s skin beneath his hands.
�But��
�No buts, now tell me. What were you talking about? What secret are you hiding from me?�
Naruto stared up at him, fear in his azure eyes and Sasuke felt his heart tighten even more.
�I don�t want to lose you Sasuke,� Naruto whispered.
The tightening turned into fluttering and Sasuke released Naruto�s cheeks and grasped his shoulders, pulling him up towards him and into a rough embrace.
�Lose me? Who said you were going to lose me Dobe?�
�I nearly lost you once!� Naruto�s response was muffled in his shirt.
�That was different. Completely different,� Sasuke tightened his hold slightly. �Look, I promise you won�t loose me okay, now tell me.� He then let him go and lay him back down. �Tell me Naruto,� he repeated.
�Okay,� Naruto closed his eyes, �I�ll tell you. It�s the Kyuubi.�
�The Kyuubi?� Sasuke echoed questioningly. �What about it?�
�What do you know about it?�
Sasuke frowned at the question. �Well I know that the fourth defeated it and died in the process. Also that it killed hundreds and practically destroyed most of the village.� He paused, �why did you need to know that?�
Naruto sighed and then pressed one of his hands over his stomach, very close to Sasuke�s legs which made the dark haired boy scoot backwards a little, slightly flustered. Naruto didn�t notice and closed his eyes. �It wasn�t defeated Sasuke, it was trapped and imprisoned so it couldn�t harm anyone again. No one could defeat it, not even the fourth, so he did the only thing he could do. He used a forbidden jitsu.�
�So it was sealed?� Sasuke was listening intently, wondering why he didn�t know anything about this and Naruto did, �Where?�
Naruto winced again and his hand clenched around his t-shirt. �In a small boy, born on that day. A boy with no family and who grew up with nobody. Everyone hated him, believing he was the demon, not the carrier. He spent his years being called a monster and demon, being ridiculed and spat on.�
Tears were apparent in Naruto�s eyes, even though he was trying to blink them away and Sasuke knew immediately who he was talking about.
�It was in me Sasuke,� Naruto stared up at him. �The Kyuubi was sealed inside of me.�

XXXX

�So you�re telling me that the fox is inside you?�
�Yes.�
�Inside your body? If that�s the case, why have I never seen this so called seal?�
Sasuke was sceptical, that was obvious, but he wasn�t name calling, yet. Naruto was at least partially grateful for that.
�It only shows when I�m either using my Chakra,� he replied, �or when I�m worked up.�
�Let me see!�
�Wha�� Naruto stared up into Sasuke�s eyes in shock, then he suddenly realised the positions that they were in. They had started out with Naruto laying on the bed, with Sasuke sitting facing him on the side of the bed, leaning over him. Now, Sasuke was sitting astride him, legs pressed against his hips and sitting on his thighs. Almost like how they were seated earlier that day, but in reversed positions.
�Let me see it,� Sasuke repeated. �Where does it show? On your stomach?�
�Y� Yeah,� Naruto blushed red when Sasuke lifted up his t-shirt to reveal his chest. �A� Around m� my t� tummy.� Damn, he sounded like Hinata!�
His blush intensified as Sasuke pulled his trousers down to his hips, making him show more skin than he would have liked.
�What a strange shape,� he heard Sasuke mumble. �A spiral.�
�You can see it?� Naruto leaned up onto his elbows and stared down at himself. �But I haven�t used any Chakra.�
�You�re working yourself up,� Sasuke�s eyes were hidden under his hair as he stared down at the seal. He chose that moment to touch his stomach, tracing a finger over a black curl of the seal. Naruto gasped and his head fell back down onto the pillow. The skin that Sasuke was touching was tingling, a strange sensation that he had never felt before.
�Naruto,� Sasuke raised his head so that he was once again staring into his eyes, hand still tracing the seal, �you are not a monster, demon or anything that the worthless villagers deem to call you. You are Uzumaki Naruto, ninja of Konoha Village.� Sasuke then smirked. �Also the village idiot and Dobe!�
�Bastard,� Naruto hissed back, still feeling slightly strange because of the fingers still gently brushing his skin. He felt warm, comforted and the pain in his head had faded away to a point that it was no longer bothering him. He had been so sure that Sasuke would reject him when he found out, but instead he felt relief. �Thank you,� he muttered out grudgingly.
They both heard the door to Naruto�s apartment swing open at that point and both Naruto and Sasuke jumped. Sasuke off the bed and Naruto backwards to fumble with his clothes.
�Naruto. Are you here?� Ino�s voice called out and then she appeared in the doorway to the bedroom. As soon as she appeared, Sasuke walked out the room with a muttered �bye� tossed over his shoulder. He stopped suddenly after a few steps and turned to Ino.
�Hokage wants to see you as soon as,� he muttered, then resumed his stroll out of the apartment.
Naruto watched the doorway until he heard the click of his front door closing, then he turned his focus toward Ino. �Hey,� he smiled.
�Are you okay?� Ino walked over to the bed, a worried look on her face. �You look distracted.�
�I�m fine,� he reassured her, holding his arm out and letting her slip onto the bed next to him, leaning against his chest. �Just tired.�

XXXXXXXX

To be honest, I�m not too happy with this chapter at all. It�s the next chapter that I�m really looking forward to writing and I hope you will look forward to reading it. As usual, please leave me a little note telling me what you thought of this little piece.
See you next time
