Chapter
Eighty-One: Deal

The
head of the police left the room to ask his assistant whether the
victim of the attempted murder had already been found and brought to
the police station, and it turned out that Killerbee, Naruto and the
two policewomen had been waiting in the assistant's room for quite
some time. Sasuke heard them talk to the head of the police through
the open door.

“We
have a problem”, the woman said. “He does not have any
legal documents proving he's the Raikage's brother. However, he does
not have any documents proving he's someone else either.”

“But
you are Killerbee, aren't you?” the head of the police asked.

“I
am. But you don't go to the embassy of Lightning Country and tell
people that I've found refuge in Music Town.”

“You
haven't found refuge in Music Town”, the head of the police's
assistant replied. “You may find refuge here when you provide
us with some official papers proving your identity. Until then you
are just an illegal immigrant.”

“You
won't send me back, will you? You can't do it!”

“We
won't”, the woman said who had brought him to the police
station. “Whatever your real name is, you've definitely made
yourself a name as a musician. But in order to get accepted as a
citizen of Music Town, we need to have your identity confirmed.”

The
head of the police went back into his office and got the original
request of the Raikage, including some pictures of Killerbee, from
his shelf. Sasuke, who until now had been listening to the
conversation from inside, got up too and followed the policeman to
the door, but not into the assistant's room. No one told him to
return into the office, so he considered it was okay to watch and
listen from the door. He saw the head of the police show the pictures
to Killerbee.

“It
seems quite likely to me that this is you”, he said. “Though
I guess we'd better have your identity confirmed by the embassy too.”

“You
can't tell the people from the embassy. They'll tell my brother, the
Raikage, and he'll send for me and make me return to the Hidden
Village of the Cloud.”

“He
may send for you, but you don't have to follow his request”,
the policewoman answered, sounding quite exasperated by now.

“He'll
force me!”

“He
won't. You are protected by the law of Music Town. As soon as your
identity has been confirmed you can apply to be recognized as a
refugee or accepted as a citizen.”

“Not
me! I'm the Raikage's brother.”

The
head of the police took a booklet from the rack and passed it to
Killerbee.

“This
is the contract between Music Town and the Ninja Countries. On page
seven you'll find the paragraph in question: every citizen of the
Ninja Countries has the right to move to Music Town to start a
musical career. There's no exception for Shinobi, or siblings of the
kage. Read yourself!”

Sasuke
watched the scene, still recovering from the emotional uproar of his
conversation with the head of the police. Naruto had not joined him
at the door but waited on some sofa on the other side of the room.
Sasuke wondered what Killerbee had told him. He also felt irritated
that people were making such a fuss about Killerbee's identity and
getting it confirmed by the embassy of Lightning Country when he,
Sasuke, was being charged with attempted murder, but then he realized
that his whole defense depended on Killerbee's identity. If it could
not be confirmed there was no proof that it was just attempted
murder.

Killerbee
turned to the page the head of the police had recommended to him.
When he looked up from it he caught Sasuke's looks: He was all
serious, neither friendly nor angry, and not at all the fool he had
made of himself while discussing whether he was Killerbee or not.
Sasuke lowered his eyes, getting aware again that he should never
have agreed to capture the man and deliver him to Akatsuki.

“So
now you'll fill in your application to become a citizen of Music
Town”, the head of the police continued. “We'll take your
poster and the announcement in the magazine as proof that you've
started a musical career. We'll need more: for example your contract
with the manager of the concert hall, but for the moment it's
sufficient to protect you against any request to deliver you to
Kumogakure.”

His
assistant had an application form ready. Sasuke wondered how things
went much more quickly than when he had applied for formal status,
but apparently the bureaucracy in Music Town could work very quickly
if people thought it necessary. Killerbee filled in the form (with
some help from the policepeople around him) and returned it to the
assistant.

“You're
safe now”, the head of the police said. “So we can send
someone to the embassy, and you don't have to fear anything.”

The
task was given to a civilian employee of the embassy. The
policepeople left the room as the situation seemed resolved; only the
head of the police and his assistant remained, discussing some minor
matters not related to Sasuke's abduction of Killerbee while they
were waiting for the return of the employee. Sasuke kept standing in
the door that connected the two rooms, occasionally looking at Naruto
who still avoided him. Killerbee was left in the middle of the room,
reading the booklet the head of the police had given him.
Occasionally his eyes met Sasuke's and then Sasuke looked down to the
floor. Finally the employee arrived with the message that Killerbee's
identity had been confirmed by the embassy of Lightning Country.

“Seems
we can now get to the point”, the head of the police said.

He
invited Killerbee into his office. Sasuke was allowed to remain
standing in the door, and now Naruto joined him, leaning against the
other side of the frame, but he still did not look at Sasuke, and he
did not speak.

“This
young man over there is accused of attempted murder of you”,
the head of the police began. “Actually of murder, but as you
are still alive I think we may change this to attempted murder. We
hope we can learn more about it from you.”

“Who
has accused him of murder?” Killerbee asked back.

“Your
brother, the Raikage”, the head of the police answered. “People
saw him fight you.”

“Did
these people also give an explanation why they did not come to my
aid?”

“The
Raikage does not write about it in his request to deliver the
perpetrator to Kumogakure.”

“My
brother wants the boy? What for?”

“To
punish him, I presume.”

Again
Killerbee looked at Sasuke. Sasuke lowered his eyes.

“I
see”, Killerbee answered and leant back. “Obviously I am
alive, so there's no need to avenge me, is there?”

“The
Raikage won't avenge you in any case. We won't send the boy to a
place where he will be executed. But attempted murder is also a
crime. I have already obtained a confession.”

“A
confession of attempted murder? Why did you tell them that you tried
to murder me?”

He
looked directly at Sasuke. Again Sasuke could not bear his looks, and
even less was he able to find an answer. He was relieved from that
need, however, by the head of the police.

“You
remain silent. I want to hear Killerbee's version.”

“What
did you do to him to gain such a confession?”

Now
he had managed to provoke the head of the police.

“We
didn't torture him, if that's what you mean. I just explained to him
that if he did not tell us the truth we'd learn it from you anyway.”

“But
he did not attempt to murder me”, Killerbee replied.

Sasuke
was relieved – so this part of his story had been confirmed.
He'd not be put to trial for attempted murder, but for abducting
Killerbee and delivering him to Akatsuki. He hoped that Killerbee
would also tell that he had split up before Sasuke carried him away,
giving him a chance to explain to the judge that he had known that he
was not handing over the real Killerbee. He was aware that this was
still an unlikely story.

“We
had a deal”, Killerbee continued. “We'd fake a fight that
should result in my death, so that I might escape from Kumogakure and
come here to start a career as a musician.”

This
time the head of the police managed to remain calm. “Tell me
more about your deal! For example I'd like to know what he gained
through this deal.”

“Nothing. He was just doing me
a favour.”

“You
are aware that this deal, or favour, put him in a lot of trouble? The
Raikage himself is now searching for him.”“He did
not care about it.”

“Not
caring about being charged with murder?”

“He
was a rogue-nin before. He was in league with Akatsuki when I met
him. Faking a fight with me gave him a chance to escape this
alliance.”

The
head of the police closed the folder that had still been lying on his
desk, openly displaying the notes he had taken during Sasuke's
interrogation.

“So
you fought, but you did not fight for real. There was no intention to
harm you.”

“That's
correct.”

“So
we'll inform the Raikage that you are alive and ask him to lift the
charge of murder of the young man. It will take some time to inform
the administration of Music Town, and probably it won't happen before
you've been accepted as a citizen, so we ask you to add a note to the
letter we will write to your brother, explaining to him your deal.
Will you do this for us? It will mean that you do the young man a
favour too, in exchange for his favour.”

Killerbee
agreed. Both he and the head of the police rose from their seats:
there was nothing to say about a crime that apparently had not
happened.

“I
hope to welcome you soon as a citizen of Music Town”, the head
of the police bid farewell to Killerbee. Then he looked at Sasuke.
“You may leave now too. Ask my assistant for a new appointment:
I still need to talk to you about your application for a job at the
police. And also don't forget what I told you about love.”
