Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Breeding Sasuke ❯ The letter ( Chapter 1 )

 

 

Disclaimer: I, Lady Valtaya, hereby swear that I do not own any of the characters that appear in this fic. This is just for fun, not for profit.

 

Author's note: I love SasuxNaru. However, I hate stories with Mpreg with a fanaticism that borders on dangerous insanity so I refuse to read them much less write one. I think family is important and I was curious to see how the aftermath of my other Naruto fic, Starting Over might take shape between our two fave lovebirds. ^_^

 

 

Breeding Sasuke

 

Naruto sighed happily, he liked watching her sleep; she seemed exhausted by their lovemaking. Hinata was exquisitely beautiful, her sleek, long hair spilled across the pillows like a halo of the finest black silk, but he didn't love her. At least- not the way he thought he once thought he might, anyway. He was incredibly curious to see what their child would look like, but his wife's pregnancy was not showing yet because it had happened last week. It was a curious feeling, sensing the fragile new life taking shape inside her body.

 

Naruto had everything he'd always wanted; he was approved by the council to succeed as the next Hokage; and Sakura was training the next generation of medic ninjas, and all in all, things were generally going well…

 

Tomorrow would be a busy day, assigning missions and doing too much paperwork, but he just wasn't tired enough to sleep and while his heart was restless; it wasn't because of her or the baby. So what is wrong, why am I still awake?

 

“Sasuke…”

 

He hadn't realized he'd said anything out loud until Hinata opened her pale, silvery eyes and smiled sleepily. “I knew you were missing him, Naru-chan. He's been gone for over a month now.”

 

He blushed immediately and she giggled.

 

“That's awkward, isn't it,” he sighed.

 

“No,” she whispered. When he looked up at her, she leaned over and kissed his forehead. “I am glad that you chose me to be your wife. Because I love you, and it allows me to finally do something useful in my father's eyes, but I know you have always been in love with Sasuke-kun.”

 

“The council refused to accept me as Granny Tsunade's replacement until I was officially settled down with a wife, but the more time I spend with you the more I'm glad I chose you. I just… wish that Sasuke wasn't so dead set against having a family too…”

 

“Why does he resist? There are still dozens of girls in the village that would love being asked to be his wife. He is the last of his clan- only he can pass on the Sharingan to the next generation; that would be a great honor, to give new life to such a powerful line.”

 

He smirked, “Too bad you didn't hold out for that offer, huh?”

 

Hinata gasped as a blush spread across her cheeks. “No! You are warm and kind, and handsome and, the son of a Hokage and you are even the next in line to be our Hokage. I just meant-”

 

He smiled and kissed her reassuringly. “I'm only teasing… and I don't know why I'm even thinking about it, because, he won't even talk about it anyway.”

 

“It worries you because you love him and his family was always important to him. So, don't give up, Naru-chan; I know it must be hard for him to even think about starting over, but this village wouldn't be the same if its red-eyed keepers of the flame ever became completely extinct.”

 

“I know, go back to sleep, I'm sorry I woke you.”

 

“Don't apologize! I enjoy being with you,” she yawned, grinning sleepily.

 

“Still, you and the baby need to rest.”

 

She giggled good-naturedly. “Goodnight, Naru-chan.”

 

“Goodnight, Hinata-chan,” He whispered, he kissed her forehead lightly before he climbed out of bed. He slid a robe over his shoulders and stepped out onto the balcony.

 

It was a beautiful night, the stars were bright, a lover's moon in full, bright silver loomed large on the horizon- everything was perfect, but he was still lonely.

 

“Teme, where are you?” He whispered.

 

“I think you're really starting to enjoy that girl, aren't you, Naru-chan?” The deep voice that spoke to him was as soft as velvet, and he melted into the arms that wrapped around his shoulders, pulling him against a solidly muscled chest.

 

“I've always kinda liked her and what's wrong with it? You're the one who's always reminding me I've never had a family before…” Naruto growled, he turned and tried to look at him, but his captor didn't let go. “Not getting jealous are you, Sasuke?”

 

“Nothing's wrong with it, but women are annoyingly fragile. She may love you, but she'll never fully understand you; she's too soft. She can't give you the kind of sex that you need either.”

 

“You make love sound very unromantic sometimes, Teme.”

 

“Hn.” In this case, this meant `Whatever…' in Sasu-speak.

 

“I missed you though.”

 

“Hn.” Sasuke sounded more amused than indignant this time, so this one meant `yeah, me too, Dobe.'

 

Sasuke began to kiss the back of his neck, and Naruto leaned into him; he'd missed this more than he thought, his body was already getting hot.

 

He growled this kiss was going to leave a mark, but Naruto didn't want him to stop, and Sasuke didn't disappoint him. The Uchiha slid his hands down Naruto's body, finding his nipples, teasing them with feathery caresses while he sucked on his neck.

 

Naruto growled, arching his back as he pushed his buttocks against Sasuke's arousal. “I-I think we should go to your place.”

 

“I think you ought to put some pants on first.” Sasuke purred, lazily nipping the blonde's ear.

 

“Oh, shut up, Teme! It's your fault my robe got lost.”

 

Sasuke didn't bother to glorify that with a response, he just nipped him on the same love mark he'd just made, drawing a growl of pain from Naruto. The blonde wriggled out of his arms and picked up his robe before he went back inside.

 

When he came back outside, Sasuke was waiting for him on the roof; he seemed to be admiring the view of the city from the tower.

 

Naruto took the opportunity to press himself against Sasuke from behind, “So, did everything go okay?”

 

Sasuke nodded.

 

“You never talk to me like you used to- are you sure you're okay with this- her- I mean Hinata?”

 

“Naruto, I was babysitting the ugly princess of the Water country so she could visit her even uglier fiancé in the Silk country. There's nothing to tell you except that I now have a mindless female fan club there too. I spent more time sharpening my weapons than I did using them, and that was supposed to be an S ranked mission?”

 

“I know you'd rather fight, but that mission was important even if it's just because we need the Water country's Lord to see us as allies the way his people already do.”

 

Sasuke nodded, smirking slightly. “You're really beginning to sound like a Hokage occasionally, I like that.”

 

“Want your future Hokage to order you around later?”

 

“I might find that tempting if you beat me in a sparring match tomorrow…”

 

“Wow! You really must have been bored while you were gone,” Naruto grinned happily.

 

“Anything to get your lazy ass out of your office for a while,”

 

“Hey, I'm not lazy.”

 

“You never train when I'm not here and I know you miss it.”

 

“Aww, so you do want to spend time with me- outside of the bedroom? You really did miss me, too huh?” Naruto smiled, ignoring the indignant expression on Sasuke's face.

 

“Well, this was the longest we've been apart since…”

 

“Since you came back,” Naruto finished. His lover nodded but looked away. The blond leaned forward, smiling as he playfully nibbled Sasuke's bottom lip, tempting him with a long, slow kiss.

 

The kiss remained soft and gentle, but Sasuke took control. He slipped his tongue inside Naruto's mouth to caress and play with his. The blond wrapped his arms tightly around him, when Sasuke slid one knee in between his thighs. They were still kissing and he had just unzipped Sasuke's vest when a familiar voice greeted them from one of the neighboring rooftops.

 

“I knew I sensed your presence was back, Sasuke,” It was Kakashi- no one else would've dared to distract them while they were making out. “Looks like you're getting a warm reception.”

 

Sasuke snorted but didn't let go of Naruto. “Just because you were fighting with Iruka-sensei when you left on your mission doesn't mean you need to admit you're jealous, Kakashi-sensei.”

 

“Get a room you two lovebirds, remember what the council said?” Kakashi sounded annoyed as he continued on his way home.

 

Naruto blushed, but Sasuke only smirked. The Uchiha's obsidian eyes were always intense- even calculating, but now, his gaze held a very rare spark of wicked amusement. He knew that meant Sasuke would've allowed them to get caught in a much more compromising position if Kakashi hadn't distracted them first.

 

That embarrassed Naruto even more. Sasuke knew that he was sexy and he'd never cared what anyone else thought of the two of them being lovers either. Unfortunately for Naruto, he and Sasuke weren't the only ones to consider anymore. After all, Sasuke was an incredibly powerful Jounin, but now Naruto was more than that- he was officially Tsunade's heir. That was a position demanding great respect. Hokage was even considered an inheritable title as long as there was a worthy successor, so now he was married and he didn't want to embarrass Hinata.

 

It was weird enough that all their friends had known he and Sasuke were lovers since they were 16. He was sure that it bothered the girl more than she was letting on- after all, Naruto didn't like the idea of Hinata being with anyone but him… On the other hand, he had been undeniably possessive of Sasuke long before he'd ever realized he wanted him sexually…

 

Why is love so damn confusing? This is way weirder than when I just thought I was in love with Sakura…

 

Still, the only thing he'd ever been totally sure of, were his feelings for Sasuke, so at least that hadn't changed.

 

“What are you thinking right now?”

 

Naruto snapped out of his daze and blushed looking into Sasuke's midnight eyes. The question jarred him and he wasn't sure how to answer it. “I… don't know…”

 

“You don't lie well to begin with and you are talking to me, Dobe.”

 

Naruto scowled at him for being so matter of fact about this. “I'm just really confused, I mean, we've been together forever and I'm still in love with you but now I'm married to someone else- isn't that- I dunno, wrong?”

 

“We have been trained from childhood to do all sorts of things most people would consider `wrong', Naruto. We are ninjas. One day we are bodyguards; and the next we're assassins.”

 

“But being in love shouldn't feel this confusing, should it?”

 

Sasuke rolled his eyes. “Straight people have problems with love too, you know. Have you talked to Shikamaru and Temari lately? What's worse is Neji- he's still trying to pretend he's straight for his uncle and their clan. He needs to forget marrying Tenten or at least admit that he's probably still going to keep sleeping with Sai.”

 

“Hey… uhm… What would your family say- I mean about… us?”

 

“I'm sure my father's spirit is pissed that I'm not already married with at least one child in the academy, but he probably wouldn't say one word about you…”

 

“Don't ask, don't tell…” Naruto sighed, that was most people's attitude toward same sex relationships in the village.

 

Sasuke nodded and took a moment to paw through the mail that waited inside the front door of his large ancestral home. His eyes narrowed and he threw the whole pile aside when he noticed a blue envelope with the council's seal on it. He hadn't even opened it, but the Uchiha ignored his confused look, clearly agitated as he stripped off his vest and gear packs and tossed them aside too.

 

“Those nosy bastards… read the blue one. I'm taking a shower.”

 

Ordinarily, Naruto might have joined him, because he wanted to know what was wrong, but he was even more curious about the contents of the council's letter so he opened it carefully.

 

“Uchiha Sasuke,

 

As you know, it has been over five years since your return to this village and in that time you have done all that has been asked of you. Your clan would be proud that you have indeed matured into a fine shinobi with legendary power and skill. Now that Uzumaki Naruto is ready to ascend to the office of Hokage, you are by far, the Leaf's most feared and powerful tool, and we thank you for taking that role so seriously.

 

For generations, the Sharingan has secretly been called the one true manifestation of the Will of Fire. But as the last Uchiha, you alone are capable of passing on its power to the next generation.

 

For the last five years, we have stood by and watched quietly, patiently waiting for you to settle down with the right girl. You are still comparatively quite young to sire a family, so we understand that you will not welcome our intrusion. With you undertaking so many dangerous missions solo however, we feel that you should choose a bride and continue your line now. An obligation to your clan and its future remains, and because no one else is still around to remind you of it, we must.

 

Respectfully,

 

Utatane Koharu”

 

 

He was startled by how polite the letter sounded- after all, the council and the last Uchiha hated each other. Sasuke had warned him five years ago that his return would end up like this. The Elders had left him alone for two years longer than he'd predicted, but in the end, he was right. First the council needed to control him for the power that'd killed both Orochimaru and Itachi- requiring him to fight for the Leaf or die. He was still a commodity to them- as the letter even said, he was a tool- a possession. After letting Sasuke prove he could be trusted, now they were trying to breed him, just as they had required of him with Hinata…

 

It should've been ridiculous, but Naruto felt deceived. The whole concept of a future simply hadn't meant anything to him five years ago- he and Sasuke had been only teenagers then. Together they were young and reckless, but they were happy. Happy, because they found they were as just as passionate in love as they had been in war and he thought that was all that would ever matter.

 

`A Kage has to look after responsibilities much larger than his own hopes and dreams though.' He'd always thought that that really just meant fighting and protecting the village- but it didn't. It also meant putting the needs of the village before his own to make certain that the people felt stability in their daily lives. During his reign as Hokage, he would be forced to make difficult choices whose outcome would affect the village and future of everyone who lived there.

 

Tsunade had never wanted that kind of responsibility or power over the lives of others, not after what had happened in her youth. She had proven herself worthy of the name Hokage though, and he rarely said it, but Naruto was very proud to think of her as one of his teachers. She was still a hard ass at times, with a lethal temper, but she had fought tirelessly to save Sasuke- and for that he owed her his happiness.

 

At least now he understood Sasuke's mood; his lover had a volatile temper anyway and he still distrusted authority so could be quite the rebel when pushed too far. But, even as a boy, he had once said that part of his ambition was to rebuild his clan, so Naruto was very curious to see what the Uchiha would do.

 

He took the letter with him and went into the master bedroom that had he'd shared with Sasuke for the last five years. The shower was still running, but Naruto sat down on the bed, wondering what he could say to try to change the other's mind without making it sound like he agreed with the council.

 

Since he did agree with the council in this case, he lay back on the bed and sighed. His head was starting to hurt and that was just how Sasuke found him.

 

“Don't think so hard, Dobe, you look ridiculous.”

 

Naruto scowled as he looked up. Anything he might have said got lost when he saw Sasuke standing at the edge of the bed though; he was wearing just a towel carelessly draped over his lean hips and a smirk. Moisture from the shower glittered along the plains and valleys of hard muscle along his chest and shoulders under the bedroom lights and Naruto felt his mouth go dry just looking at him.

 

Naruto had always found him absurdly handsome with that delicate face, pale skin and those intense, haunting eyes, but his body was truly magnificent. Both of them had finally developed the muscle to match their height, but Sasuke in particular moved with all the feral grace of a wild panther. Supremely self confident and sensual, he smirked as he crawled across the bed on all fours.

 

Naruto grinned back at him; his fingers lightly slipped inside the towel as Sasuke leaned down and nuzzled him gently before nibbling playfully at his bottom lip. Naruto accepted immediately, but Sasuke teased him with another nip before taking the letter out of his hand and tossing it off of the bed. “That evil hag has no business being in our bed, Naru-chan.”

 

“You didn't even read it, how did you know the old crone sent it?”

 

Sasuke snorted. “I'm not in the mood to be the prized bull on their little Sharingan breeding farm.”

 

Naruto's momentary disappointment dissolved into hysterical laughter at that mental picture… “Never would've thought of a bull! You remind me of a leopard…”

 

Sasuke withdrew across the bed and glared at him. “Shut up, dumb ass. That wasn't the point. If those bastards could make each of your kids pop out with little Kyuubi's of their own, they most certainly would.”

 

What?

 

“We are possessions to them, Dobe, or hadn't you noticed? They don't care what we want or how we feel about this, or each other. They want us to spawn more weapons that will fight for the village.”

 

“Well, yeah, but I'm still kind of excited about having a family of my own…”

 

“Hn.” Uhoh, that was sarcastic…

 

Naruto ignored it and grinned, he wasn't about to let anything dampen his spirits. “Come on it'll be fun, our kids can grow up and play together and they won't ever have to worry about being lonely because we'll be here to protect them!”

 

“As long as we've been together you ought to know what attracts me, and you also know damn well that it doesn't exist in the girls of this village.”

 

“Awww…” He used his sexy jutsu to turn himself into a trio of gorgeous naked blonde girls with an assortment of cat toys. “Come on, don't you want to play with us, Sasu-kitty?”

 

Sasuke scowled- that definitely wasn't his favorite nickname, but Naruto grinned wickedly and rolled him a ball of yarn. “Then tomorrow- after I win our sparring match, we'll go tell Granny Tsunade that the council wants you to get married, so we need permission to leave the village to find you a bride- a challenging one.”

 

“Did you just say we?”

 

“Yep. Here kitty-kitty… This is an important mission, you know, since it concerns the future of the village and the return of its most powerful clan.”
