Chapter
Eighty-Two: The First Fruit

The
assistant retained her usual calm, professional manner, looking for
some free space in her boss's agenda and asking Sasuke when he
himself had time. Sasuke answered without hearing what he was saying
and was grateful for the slip of paper with the date and time of his
appointment the assistant handed him when they had come to an
agreement. He almost forgot saying “good-bye”.

Both
Naruto and Killerbee had waited for him, and together they left the
building.

“I
thought I owed you something”, Killerbee said. “Thanks to
you I'm here and not in Kumogakure. But now I think that you owe me
an invitation to a beer.”

Sasuke
still had difficulties understanding what people around him were
saying. “Certainly. I'll also invite you to lunch, or to dinner
in some posh restaurant.”

“You
don't want to bribe me, do you?” Killerbee replied. “Some
beer is enough.”

They
went on, looking for an appropriate place.

“What
advice did the man give you concerning love?” Naruto asked. He
was in thoughts too.

“That
I should tell you the truth.”

“That
was a good piece of advice”, Naruto said, and then he was
silent again.

They
chose a pub right in the center of town, a fancy historical one that
was very expensive and normally only frequented by tourists, but it
had a nice backyard with a garden, which was almost empty at the
moment. There was a small tree but what was most impressive was the
wild wine, climbing up some wooden racks. Sasuke ordered a round of
beer.

“I
don't know whether you already know my friend”, he said. “this
is Naruto, jinchuuriki of Konoha.”

Naruto
felt irritated – this was not the first information he wanted a
stranger to know. Also it was not something he wanted Sasuke to tell
anyone. He wanted to decide about it himself.

For
a second Killerbee looked at him as if he was checking him like an
object, then he reassumed his usual friendly, cheerful expression.

“Hi”,
he said to Naruto. “I guess you know who I am, after all this
fuss. It's a great place here, but they really overdo with the
paperwork.”

“Hi”,
Naruto said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

“So
that's your new friend”, Killerbee said to Sasuke. “What
about the old ones?”

“They
are here in Music Town too. They're doing fine.”

“I've
met the Water guy”, Killerbee continued. “He's a great
guy, but his music is terribly outdated. I mean, who still cares for
Heavy Metal?”

Sasuke
still had no taste for music, except that he preferred the kind that
was not too noisy. Now he was glad that this excused him from giving
any opinion on Suigetsu's or Killerbee's music.

“He
explained things to me: that you had been picked up by Akatsuki, that
you didn't have a choice, that none of you had a grudge against me
and that you all regretted attacking me.”

“Sasuke,
what happened really?” Naruto asked. “Did you really
attempt to kill him?”

Sasuke
shook his head.

“He
didn't”, Killerbee said. “He explicitly said that he
attacked me with the intention of capturing me alive.”

“So
you did attack him?”

Sasuke
nodded.

“Why?
He had not done anything to harm you, had he?”

Sasuke
shook his head again. This time Killerbee did not answer in his
stead. It was better like this, Sasuke decided. It was his job to
tell the truth to Naruto, not Killerbee's.

“I
had a deal with Akatsuki to deliver him alive.”

“Yes,
I remember. You were in league with them at the time”, Naruto
repeated Killerbee's words to the police.

“They
picked me up and saved my life after I fought Itachi. The man with
the mask, I mean.”

Naruto
remembered how he and his team had been too late, delayed by that
weird man who could not be touched.

“We
would have picked you up too”, he said, knowing that this was
not fair: It was not Sasuke's fault that the man with the mask had
been faster.

“But
then I would not have learnt that Danzou is responsible for the
murder of my clan.”

They
had been stuck at this point more than once in their discussions.

“Anyway,
even if the man with the mask saved your life that's no reason to
consent to capture an innocent person for him. What did they want him
for, by the way? No, you don't have to explain.”

Naruto
leant back, looking at Killerbee, understanding why Sasuke had
generously given away the information that he was a jinchuuriki.

“You're
a jinchuuriki too, aren't you?”

“I
am”, Killerbee answered.

“He's
the Eight-Tails' jinchuuriki”, Sasuke explained. “He has
truly mastered his bijuu. I thought you should meet him.”

Naruto
was not open at the moment for this information.

“You
agreed to Akatsuki to capture a jinchuuriki and deliver him to them
so that they could extract the bijuu. How could you do this?”

Naruto
had not touched Sasuke since he had understood that he was accused of
murder, respectively of attempted murder. It was very unusual for
him, normally he craved for physical contact. Now he moved even
further away from him. Sasuke again felt the world crumble under his
feet – he could not imagine losing Naruto. He had always taken
his friendship, if not his love, for granted.

Naruto
also felt horrible. He had known that Sasuke had gone to live with
Orochimaru, had of course also known of Sasuke's attempt to kill him,
Naruto, and had been ready to forgive him. He was not able to forgive
him now.

“You
knew I am a jinchuuriki. You knew that Akatsuki is after me too.”

“I
knew.”

“So
how could you agree to capture another jinchuuriki?”

Sasuke
really felt ashamed of what he had done. He searched for words that
would not further enrage Naruto.

“I
was desperate then”, he said. “I had just learnt that I
and everyone I loved had been considered fair game by the
administration of Konoha. I thought that for me nothing mattered any
more, except gaining my revenge. I thought the whole world had
abandoned me so that it didn't matter if I abandoned the world. I was
wrong, however.”

“Still”,
Naruto said. “You know I am a jinchuuriki. How could you agree
to capture another jinchuuriki?”

He
buried his head in his hands.

Not
knowing what else to do Sasuke tentatively touched his shoulders. “I
always cared for you”, he said. “I could not have agreed
to capture you.”

Naruto
shook off his hand. “It's not enough”, he said.

Sasuke
leant back, desperate now. “I can go back and ask to be put to
trial. The head of the police knows the truth.”

“What
for?” Killerbee asked. “No one would gain from it. You
need your friend with you, not in prison, don't you?” he
continued, now talking to Naruto.

Naruto
did not answer.

“Tell
him he's still your friend!”

“How
can I?” Naruto asked. “He attempted to capture you so
that your bijuu might be extracted. He would have been responsible
for your death.”

“But
he didn't do it. No one got hurt. I could escape from Kumogakure. I
can forgive him, and so can you.”

Naruto
looked up. Sasuke looked really distressed.

“You're
a jinchuuriki, and you still have to learn to cooperate with your
bijuu, don't you? You'll need a back up for this. Your friend's
strong, he can do it.”

“I
don't need him”, Naruto said. “I can deal with the kyuubi
myself.”

“You
can't”, Sasuke said. “Every time we have sex you struggle
to control it, and it causes you pain.”

“It's
none of your business”, Naruto contradicted.

“It
is, as I see you in pain every time after you climax. It is, as I
have to back you up in case you can't cope.”

“You
don't have to!” Naruto repeated. He felt irritated that Sasuke
discussed their love life in front of a stranger.

Killerbee
listened, looking as if all this was beyond his comprehension.

“You're
having sex?” he asked.

“It's
okay in Music Town”, Sasuke replied, taking Naruto's hand.
Naruto felt uncomfortable, but he did not withdraw.

“You
should not have sex as a jinchuuriki”, Killerbee told him.
“Didn't anyone tell you this?”

“No.
Why?”

“It's
too risky.”

It
made sense, Naruto thought, with the kyuubi threatening to take over
whenever he had an orgasm.

“You
mean they condemned Naruto to a life without sex when he was still an
infant?” Sasuke said.

“It's not easy of course –
it wasn't easy for me either – but there's no other way. The
village needs to be protected: someone has to be the jinchuuriki. He
has to dedicate his life to the village, and the village always has
to be his greatest love. It's his fate. Besides, there's other things
than sex that make life worthwhile. Music, for example.”

Sasuke
nodded, but he was not convinced.

“What
about the woman we met at your place?” Naruto asked.

“I've
explained it to her. She's content that we're not having sex, just
kissing, and also I find other ways to give her satisfaction. She
enjoys it. She says I'm different from all the other men she's ever
been with. They all only wanted sex and only cared about themselves.”

Sasuke
pondered his words. “A woman may be content with this, but I'm
a man, and I'm not. I want Naruto to be able to have sex without
worrying about the kyuubi.”

He
drew Naruto closer to himself and laid his arm around his shoulders.
Naruto still felt uncomfortable, but he did not shake off the arm.
Sasuke straightened.

“You've
been very generous”, he told Killerbee, “and gave me more
than I deserved when you lied for me at the police. I would not dare
to ask for another favour from you if it were for myself, but as it
is for my friend I will ask you: Please teach him to tame the kyuubi
and control it, just as you control the hachibi.”

Killerbee
hesitated. “I expected this request”, he said. “It's
just that every village has its own methods of controlling its bijuu,
and we don't normally share them. Top level secret, you know. We
don't want Kumogakure to be attacked by the kyuubi.”

“I
would not do this”, Naruto replied. “Sasuke may attack
other people unprovokedly, but I don't.”

“And
what will you do if your country orders you to attack us?”

“Konoha
won't attack Kumo. We don't attack other countries.”

“Ah,really?”

Sasuke
considered explaining to Naruto that the Second Ninja World War had
actually started with an attack from Konoha against Amegakure which
at the time was negotiating an alliance with Kumogakure. He decided
to back up Naruto instead:

“Danzou
may do such a thing”, he said. “This is why we are in
Music Town. When we return to Konoha it will be to drive him out of
office and to install Naruto as Hokage. As Hokage he won't attack any
other countries.”

Killerbee
kept looking at Naruto. “So that's your plan.”

“Yes.”

“You
know, things aren't always that easy. What if someone from Konoha
attacks Kumogakure, as your friend did, and you have to fight off a
counter attack?”

“I
still won't use the kyuubi. I'll do everything to achieve true
peace.”

Again
Killerbee checked him, scrutinizing him. “I'll trust you. I've
wondered all the time where' I've seen you before, but now I know.
I've seen your picture all over the town.” From his pocket he
took a copy of the Gutsy Ninja. “If you are serious about your
dream of peace, and if you really only want to learn to control the
kyuubi in order to have sex with your boyfriend I will teach you.
Just promise that you will never use the kyuubi against Kumogakure.”

“I
will, if you promise me that you won't use the Hachibi against
Konoha”, Naruto answered.

“That's
fair”, Killerbee replied.

They
both got up and embraced. Sasuke watched them, then he got up and
embraced Killerbee too.

“Thank
you for everything”, he said.

“Don't
talk about it again”, Killerbee answered. “You've paid
for the beer, haven't you?”

Actually
Sasuke hadn't. He called the waiter and did so.

“Now
he has paid, so now you can forgive him too”, Killerbee told
Naruto. “You can't feed a grudge if you want to learn to
control the kyuubi. That's what a bijuu thrives on. Besides, you
really need him as your back-up. Everyone needs a back-up when he
learns to control a bijuu.”

Naruto
still had doubts, but he obeyed and embraced Sasuke. Sasuke rested
his head on Naruto's shoulder, and Naruto felt how desperately he had
longed for his forgiveness. He could not help feeling pity for him,
and his heart opened again to Sasuke, even though he did not know
whether this was right.

Sasuke
felt extremely drunk, much more than was to be expected after a
single glass of beer. He was aware that

Killerbee
had completely forgiven him, and the head of the police too, but that
Naruto had not. He had no idea how to change this.
