---------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------

Naruto looked over at the dark haired form that sat tied to the bed post of the bed next to him. Gai had tied up Sasuke after they had pulled him off of him and gave him a lecture that Iruka would of been proud of. Making a pained face at the thought of the man the blond had considered his father he returned his attention to the form on the floor.

Shino had thought Sasuke was high from his odd behavior but when they found the syringe it was unused. Still they were unconvinced, Gai had tied Sasuke up and told Naruto not to let him go until he came back to take him to the hospital. If he insisted that he had the habit removed by the demon then they would get confirmation from a doctor. Until then Sasuke was to be immobilized so he would be unable to shoot up if he was lying.

But he was not lying. They refused to believe him.

They refused to believe Sasuke the traitor and now Sasuke the junky. They had no trust in the raven haired Uchiha.

Sasuke sat with his back to a bedpost his hands behind him tied around it. His face down turned so that his bangs hid his eyes.


Gai was still off fighting the bandits, apparently the several small bands of outlaws had joined forces and were attempting to get rid of the shinobi that were preventing them from plundering at leisure. Gai and company were fighting back and winning. It was taking so long because the bandits refused to give up and there was a lot of them. It was challenging just from the sheer number of opponents. But none of them were talented shinobi so it was just a matter of time until the green beast would return triumphant.

Tying Sasuke up was a temporary fix, Naruto knew that Gai was mad at being dragged away from his fight and could not spare much time away or else the ones still out there fighting might be over run.

It also pointed out how little they understood.

About Sasuke. About addictions.

Now that Naruto thought about it every one of them came from a well off clan. Hyuuga. Inuzuka. Aburame, Tenten’s family were the top weapons makers in Konoha and Lee’s family were merchants. Evan Gai’s family had been eccentric yet outstanding shinobi that had followed the first hokage. All of them had no idea about something they considered below them.

But Naruto knew. He had never tried it, but growing up he did not have any one to tell him not to go down that ally because of the dealers that dwelled there. No one told him about bad things like that, he had to find out on his own. Gai and Neji would be shocked to find out how many people in Konoha had an addiction.
The life of a shinobi was never that nice and many who had witnessed the loss of their entire team or some other horror that was all to commonplace in the shinobi life style, found their escape in drugs or alcohol.

They also did not know Sasuke, about him yes. His dash to Orochimaru only to return months later. His family and his abilities. They did not see the real Sasuke, just the one they had made up for themselves based on their expectations and opinions about him.

But Naruto knew him. Knew that when Gai said ‘what would your father think about this.’ it was the ultimate low blow. That Sasuke had refused to look Gai in the face after that and had sat there looking at his feet for the rest of the lecture. Sasuke was Sasuke and had gone to Orochimaru in the first place to get power to avenge his mother and father and saying that was the worst thing Gai could of said.

Sasuke did not let people get close to him emotionally because he was afraid to lose them, like he had his family. The raven haired bastard felt a need to prove himself to be as good as his brother and refused to be weak to prove Itachi wrong. Sasuke had worked every day relentlessly to live up to his name and all he had left was pride in that name. To bring his father in to any conversation was opening a flood gate of anger and guilt. To use his father like that was cruel, to make it seem that he had let his father down. Gai could not of stooped any lower.

Sasuke had built a wall of apathy around him so that it would not hurt because he did not care. He could not care because then he would be hurt if he failed and that would be weak. The bastard pushed people away not wanting to ask for help because that would be weak. Sasuke refused to be weak and that was what fulled the addiction. It let him have an escape from the pressure of being perfect.

Naruto got up and went and sat next to Sasuke. The dark hair obscuring the look of pure misery that adorned the pale teens down turned face.

Sasuke, Naruto knew, did not like showing emotion because eventually he would show how he really felt, and he did not want others to see his pain. It went back to the being weak thing. He hid his pain with snide comments and anger. He did not open up or explain because it would re-open closed wounds. He kept every thing hidden and locked up inside himself so no one would think anything affected him. So no one would think he was weak.

Naruto reached in to his shoe and pulled out a small knife. Carefully, to not cut Sasuke, he sliced the ropes that bound Sasuke to the bedpost.
Sasuke did not jump up, he just shook out his arms and laid them across his lap. Gai’s words had stung the Uchiha very badly for him to be acting like this.

Getting impatient Naruto grabbed one of Sasukes wrists and hoisted him to his feet. Getting a small growl like sound from Sasuke in response. Not liking it, but ignoring it just the same Naruto, still holding on to Sasuke, walked out on to the balcony. Dragging the silent Uchiha with him. The moon was out and the stars twinkled over head. In the direction of the front gate in to town a blue dome formed from Neji using his spin defense.

Naruto released Sasuke’s wrist and leaned on the rail of the balcony. The cool breeze blowing his moon lit hair in to his face.

“They have no clue do they.”

“Hn.”

Naruto smiled, he had been around the bastard long enough to be able to read the meaning in between the one syllable answers. Turning, the blond looked at Sasuke, the light from the room highlighting him from behind. Still it could not hide the remains of the tears on his pale face.

“They ripped in to you good, and they have no clue what their talking about.”

“And you do dobe?”

The sarcasm in the tone of his voice stung, but Naruto reminded himself that Sasuke hid how he felt with anger.

“I know that they should not of said that about you disappointing your dad.”

The brick next to Narutos head exploded from Sasukes fist smashing it.

“You don’t know shit about that.”

Naruto flinched and Sasuke withdrew, grunting in what Naruto knew was as close to an apology he would get. Shifting his weight from foot to foot as Sasuke turned away, Naruto took a deep calming breath to steady his nerves and continued.

“I know it’s a pandora’s box. It lets the weight of the world off your shoulders and makes nothing but itself feel important. It doesn’t not fix your problems, it just make them no longer important to you. It give’s you a kind of freedom and that is what is so addicting. That even after you stop taking it and go through the withdrawals, most people still want it. Because they know what’s it like and they prefer to not care than to have to deal with their problems.”

He could feel Sasuke stare at him, then lean on the rail next to him. Silent as ever.
The demon may of made the physical need go away but he knew that it was only half of the problem.

“The only person that can stop an addict is the addict themselves deciding to stop. Gai and the others are not helping you make that decision. All they do is scream at you, and say how stupid you are for doing it. No one even said good job for getting out of the sound.”

Naruto could still feel the obsidian eyes of his friend boring in to him as silence engulfed the balcony.

The moon shown brightly over head casting a silver haze over the roof tops around them. Naruto tapped his fingers on the rail nervously. He had said what he had meant to say and Sasuke was still looking upset. He did not like to see Sasuke like this. Hurt because of careless words. It was so out of character for him. That bit about his dad must of really hurt. And of course there was the tension from the kiss. Narutos hand reached up and felt his lips.

Sasuke had kissed him. A really good kiss too and now they were alone on the balcony together. Kiss’s, Naruto knew, led in to other things. Painful things. Things he did not want to do or more exactly have done to him. But it was Sasuke, his friend who wanted to do these things to him. He did not want Sasuke to leave him. He would do anything to prevent Sasuke from feeling bad. Including that.


With a sigh Naruto turned to look at Sasuke. The raven haired bastard had his arms on the rail and his chin on his arms, looking out toward the gate where Gai’s team was fighting. The moonlight making his face paler than it already was. He looked surreal, dark as night hair with moonlight skin. His face devoid of any emotion turned to look at the blond teen that was staring at him. Naruto knew that Sasuke was asking ‘What the hell are you looking at.’ with out him having to say it.

Naruto took a deep breath and started to say something but never got past the first syllable. Letting it go unsaid.

If Sasuke wanted him like that than Naruto would give himself to Sasuke. Sasuke who looked nothing short of ethereal standing in the moonlight. Sasuke who gave him the courage to fight back against Orochimaru and who held him and calmed him down every time the memories of what happened overtook him. Sasuke who right now looked at a loss for what to do about something. Who looked hurt and dejected from what was said to him. The small perpetual frown that he had was just a fraction larger, but was all the more noticeable to the blond. He did not like it, he wanted it to go back to the original. He wanted Sasuke to not be hurting over what was said. To make him feel better he would do any thing and if Sasuke wanted someone as dirty and used as he was, than he would do it. For Sasuke.


Slowly, Naruto reached up and cupped the side of Sasukes face. He saw the deep dark pools that were Sasukes eyes widen momentarily and feel the hot breathes on his hand. The dark strands of hair tickled the back of his hand. He loved that hair, the dark soft hair and he removed his hand from Sasuke’s face to run it through the silky mane. Twirling the tip of Sasukes bangs in his fingers.

Not quite sure if he was doing this right since he had always being on the forcefully receiving end, Naruto paused trying to figure out how to proceed.

Sasuke saw his hesitation and leaned in placing his face mere centimeters from Narutos. Taking the hint Naruto closed the gap.

He felt their lips meet and immediately started to suck on Sasukes lower lip. He closed his eyes and suppressed the shutter when he felt Sasuke wrap his arms around him. Mimicking Sasuke he grabbed the shoulders of the taller teen, running his hands down the arms to wrap loosely around him when Sasuke started to do his enticing kiss. He liked these kiss’s, the way he was not choked by the tongue and dominated, but instead encouraged to participate in the kiss. Their tongues twined and Sasuke moaned. The blond smiled, he was doing something right to make Sasuke feel better. He tightened his grip around Sasukes waist and leaned more in to the kiss.

In response Sasuke let his hands roam up and down Naruto’s back and sides. There was a quick intake of breath and a poorly hidden flinch as hands dipped uncomfortably to low on the blonds back. The raven haired bastard pulled away from the kiss and moved his hands up. Naruto could see the questioning glare being emitted from his friend.

Silently he cursed himself. Sasuke did not want him to pull away. Orochimaru did not like that either, wanting him to take what ever he did to him without complaint. Although he did not think Sasuke would purposely try to get him to break a unspoken rule so he would be punished and make it twice as painful as before.

Thinking quickly on how to recover from that blunder Naruto ran his tongue along Sasukes jaw bone and was rewarded with a shudder and a moan from the taller teen. Continuing down he encountered the bite that Kyuubi had given him earlier. Slowly Naruto began to lick the red mark. Going over it tantalizingly slow with the tip of his tongue tracing the edge than lapping at it hungrily.

There was a hand in his blond hair and another between his shoulder blades as the sound of Sasukes ragged breathing engulfed the small balcony.

Sasuke had his back to the rail of the balcony and Naruto was firmly pressed in to him. It made the bulge in Sasukes pants very noticeable to blond licking his neck. The fact that Naruto did not have a similar bulge went unnoticed by the preoccupied Uchiha.
Slowly working his way down the pale neck Naruto ran out of uncovered skin. Sasukes shirt had a high collar but it was not that wide so he could not pull it to the side to get more neck to lick.
He knew were this was going and if Sasuke wanted him, than he would do it. He wanted to make Sasuke forget the harsh words that were spoken to him. Make him forget that he still wanted the drug as an escape. Even if it was just for a little while.
As he nipped and sucked gently on the un-licked side of Sasukes neck his hands unwrapped themselves from around the dark haired teen. Slowly, uncertain hands undid the front clasp of Sasuke’s black pants and tugged them open revealing the red polka doted shorts and the bulge that strained the fabric.

Naruto took several deep breathes, he could do this. It was Sasuke, it was Sasuke. Over and over he kept telling himself. Mentally forcing his hands to obey him Naruto reached down and pulled the shorts down just enough to uncover Sasuke’s hard length. Before he could do anything more he was pulled in to a tight embrace and kissed more demandingly than before. He was having a hard time hiding his unsteady breathing as panic slowly crept in.

Naruto was trembling, his fingers clutching tightly to Sasuke’s dark shirt and refusing to let go. He kept his mouth on to Sasukes even though he was not kissing back. The raw hunger in the taller teens kiss was reminding him of other times. He did not respond to the tongue on his own or the encouraging way it tried to draw it out. Naruto was concentrating to hard on not jerking away.

Naruto had his eyes pinched shut telling himself over and over that it was Sasuke who was kissing him. When one hand dipped low on his back , he could not hide the shutter and Sasuke pulled his face away.

“Naruto?”

He felt the warm breath on his cheek as his name was softly spoken. He felt the hands go up to his shoulders and gently push him off the raven haired one.

Panic crept in and a sob escaped the blonds lips. He was mad at him now for not doing it right. Keeping his eyes closed Naruto dropped to his knees, running his hands down the sides of the person in front of him.

“Naruto what the Ahhh.”

The blond heard the pleased sound from the owner of the dick in his mouth and removed one hand from the hip he had latched on to and wrapped it around the base of the cock and started to gently knead while he licked the tip. The salty taste of pre on his tongue.

Then it was gone, removed from his grasp as Sasuke got to his knees as well. He was going to follow it down but hands on his shoulders stopped him. A hand on his chin forcing him to look at the man kneeling in front of him.

The moonlit pale skin and the raven hair, the dark eyes that threatened to drowned him in them.

“Sasuke.”

He felt ashamed for a second. He had lost it and forgot it was Sasuke. The pale hand on his chin wiped the tears he did not remember shedding away.
“Don’t ever force yourself to do it, dobe.”

“I thought that you wanted me to.”

Sasuke leaned forward and crushed Naruto in a hug.

“It doesn’t matter if I want to. Don’t ever force yourself to do something your not
comfortable with. If I ever do something you don’t like, tell me. I’ll stop.”

Naruto held on to Sasuke and set his head on to his shoulder breathing in the sent of his friend. Taking comfort in his closeness. In a small soft voice he whispered.

“I like your kiss’s.”

A tenseness left Sasuke’s shoulders at that and he could hear the sigh of relief from his dark haired friend. Confused about what had Sasuke so tensed up Naruto pulled away so he could look at the pale face. There was a small smile gracing the Uchiha’s face. That small change lit up the pale face and Naruto gazed awestruck at how different Sasuke looked with out his stoic front up.

He knew Sasuke was handsome but him smiling added to that ten fold. It just made Naruto wonder more about what just happened
.
“Why are you smiling.?”

Sasuke pulled him close again and ruffled his hair.

“You.”

“What did I do?”

Sasuke tilted his head up and kissed Naruto on the lips, silencing the blond.

Naruto shivered, he really did like these kiss’s. He reached up and ran his fingers though the dark locks stopping to rest his hands at the base of Sasuke’s neck. As Sasuke tried to pull away Naruto leaned forward to continue the wonderful kiss and felt the heated flesh of Sasuke’s member on his thigh. Naruto saw the blush that crept up and covered Sasukes face and heard the breathless apology. Sasuke was shifting so that he could put it back in to the confines of his pants but Naruto reached down and put his hand over Sasuke’s.

“It’s ok, I can do this.”

“You sure you want to?”

Naruto smiled at Sasukes reddening blush and kissed the tip of his nose. The raven haired one’s hands fell away, leaving Naruto with Sasuke’s engorged penis in his hand. Slowly Naruto ran his fingers up and down the heated length and Sasuke grabbed him around his chest as he moaned and started to nibble on the blonds earlobe. The blond wrapped his hand around the dick and started to stroke it in a steady rhythm, rubbing his thumb over the tip at the end of every down stroke. Sasuke was panting and shifted so he could kiss Naruto again.

As he moved, his knee brushed Naruto’s groin and the blond made a small sound like a yip and moved his hips away. Sasuke pulled away for a moment to look at Naruto. The blond quickly pulled him close and kissed him as he traced the head of the cock with his thumb, to avoid the question. He did not want to explain that it was difficult for him to get an erection after all that had happened. Or that Orochimaru had to feed him aphrodisiacs to get him hard the last few months. As he dragged his finger along the vein he felt Sasuke start to buck in to his hand, the momentary awkwardness forgotten.

Sasuke had his face buried in Narutos neck moaning and saying parts of Narutos name, unable to say the whole thing at one time. Naruto had his unoccupied hand running up and down Sasukes back and had to grab a fistful of shirt to stay balanced when Sasuke came, moaning loudly and nearly knocking him over. Naruto felt the dick in his hand twitch and pointed it down so that Sasuke spurted his seed on the tiles that floored the balcony. He did not have that many changes of clothes and he did not want any incriminating white spots on them, Sasuke probably did not want any either.

Naruto caught Sasuke as he slumped against him and rolled him over so that he was on his back against the rail of the balcony. The raven haired teens breathing slowly evened out as Naruto rubbed his sticky hand on the tiles of the balcony floor removing the semen from it. Returning to the still dazed Sasuke he cleaned off the softening member and tucked it back in to the shorts than redoing the clasp on the pants.

Sasuke made a odd sound and Naruto went and sat next to Sasuke’s head, leaning back against the rails, looking up at the stars. There was a weight on his leg and the blond looked down to see Sasuke using his leg as a pillow. Smiling Naruto ran his fingers through the dark hair resting on his leg and looked back up to the twinkling stars.

It was beautiful out, no clouds obscured the stars and the moon was large. The breeze carried the sent of trees and night blooming Jasmin on it and carried away the smell of sex. Somewhere crickets chirped and the steady sound of Sasuke breathing as he snoozed was all that Naruto heard.

Peaceful, he had missed the quite nights star gazing with Sasuke when they were in the woods. Looking at the sleeping form that had a smile on his face as he dreamed, Naruto sighed. He would do anything to make Sasuke feel better and it had worked. He could not complain either, it had felt good to have Sasuke nibbling on him and those kisses. The blond leaned back and grinned, he had though that Sasuke was going to be weird about the fact he had been used repeatedly by Orochimaru. The fact he still wanted him now that they were with other people from Konoha made the blond want to howl at the moon in joy.

The peaceful quite was broken as the door to the room opened and Gai came in, his face turning angry when he found the room empty. A dark form jumped right over the two teens on the balcony, going in to the room that way. Neji came in after Gai and directed the others attention to the balcony. Sure enough they stormed over.

Naruto could feel his anger rising. These guys did not know anything about addictions and were probably about to scream at Sasuke some more.

His Sasuke .

It was not fair, didn’t they know how upset it had made Sasuke the last time they had ‘talked’ to him. Naruto had nothing against them personally, but they were way out of line treating Sasuke like this.

Tying him to a bed like that. Damn it.

Gai opened the sliding glass door and saw the two on the balcony. Walking up to them he did not notice the squishy sound as he stepped in Sauskes com.

The hard look on his face softened when Gai saw Sasuke curled up against Naruto and the blonds hand that had never stopped running through the dark locks of his friend.

“I told you not to let him go until I came back.”

“You shouldn’t of tied him to the bed Gai sensei.”

He nearly growled it and Gai backed up a few paces.

“Calm down Naruto, I did it to make sure he did not shoot up again.”

“He was not going to. You don’t know anything about addictions and are just making things worse.”

He was shouting, but than he could not help it. They where treating Sasuke like dirt and it pissed him off. Before, at the hospital it was just a misunderstanding, they did not know all the details about what had happened. Now they knew and were doing this. It was unforgivable.

“Naruto calm down.”

Neji was met with a hostile glare from the blond.

“You hit him in the gut, do you honestly think that would stop him? All any of you did was yell at him and say how disappointed you where in him. Don’t you think he fucking knows that. He tried to stop, but it’s not something that can go away overnight. Even if Kyuubi took away the physical need for it. It would not go away instantly. You assholes did not even think that, all things considered, just getting out of the sound like this was a major accomplishment.”

Naruto was growling and staring at the three shocked jounin standing in front of him.

“You don’t know anything about him. Why he does the things he does and using his father to make him feel guilty. That’s the lowest you could of sunk.”

The warm weight on his leg removed itself and Naruto jumped to his feet putting himself between Gai and Sasuke. He was pissed and despite the terror that coursed through him from standing up against a jounin, he would not let them continue to treat Sasuke like this.
No matter what happened to him no one deserved to be treated so unfairly.

Gai shifted his stance to be ready if he had to fight the demon and saw Naruto flinch but hold his ground.

“He never fought against Konoha, he not a traitor. So don’t treat him like scum.”

Gai and the two others looked over the blond in shock. Earlier he had been terrified and needed to be comforted at the smallest sign of aggression toward him. Now they could tell he was still scared but was standing up to them, refusing to let his fear take over.

For Sasuke of all people.

Gai was so moved by the show of friendship he broke down and cried. Neji was smiling at the return of Naruto’s protective personality. He really was the number one ninja of surprising people. Shino stood by the sliding door looking impassive.

Gai was wailing like a hurt little girl and when he went forward to hug Naruto the blond stepped back in fear with a shutter but quickly stepped forward again.

The actions sobered the green spandex clad jounin up.

“Ah Naruto its ok. I’m not such a monster to hurt you for protecting your friend.”

Naruto flinched at the word monster and again as the light reflected off the ultra bright teeth as Gai smiled and flashed a peace sign.

Neji had his arms across his chest and was pointedly not looking at them.

“Ahhh Sasuke about hitting you.... sorry.”

“Hn.”

Naruto spun to face Sasuke. He knew that there was an unspoken rivalry between the two. Both from blood limit clans and claimed to be genius’. For Neji to take a blow to his massive pride and apologize was something else.

“Jerk, don’t just grunt at him, say something in return.”

Sasuke leveled his gaze and looked at the mad blond in front of him.

“Why? He shouldn’t of hit me.”

“Bastard.”

“Dobe.”

“Don’t call me that.”

Shino had enough of this and opened the sliding door with to much force so it banged than closed it after himself, again with to much force. The swaying curtains showing his retreating backside as he stalked all the way through the room and out the door.

Sasuke glared after him, Naruto had been surprised by the bangs and had jumped back out of fear.

“What the hell is his problem.”

Gai sighed and put his hand of Sasukes shoulder.

“ Tenten got hurt fighting the bandits so we took her to the hospital while there, we brought up your ‘problem’ with one of the nurse’s.”

Neji chimed in.

“Actually it was Shino who brought it up. When he said that we had tied you to the bed to keep you from shooting up again. She slapped him.”

Gai had one hand scratching the back of his head and looked rather embarrassed.

“She yelled at me. Said that we should of being more supportive to help you make the choice to stop.”

Rivers of tears fell the mans face.

“I apologize for stifling your precious flame of youth. I had thought I was helping but I was just making it worse.”

Gai had put his head on Sasukes shoulder and was sobbing. Sasuke looked throughly at a loss and was just blinking repeatedly.
Neji sighed and walked over to Naruto and the confused Sasuke.

“The nurse called him stupid.”

Naruto was going to say something mean but he stopped himself. Gai had grabbed Sasukes shirt and was shaking him silly asking for his forgiveness.

Neji cleared his throat.

“Gai, about the letter from Tsunade hime.”

Gai let go of Sasuke instantly and turned serious.

“Oh yes, she wants you two to return to Konoha immediately. Jiraiya is leaving on a mission soon and she wants to have your seal fixed before he go’s.”

Gai smiled, his teeth sparkled evan in the dark. Idly Naruto wondered if he had to wear a mask when he went on reconnaissance missions, because his bright teeth would give away his location.

Neji just rolled his eyes at his sensei’s actions.

“She did not say that we could leave here to escort you two. But considering that there are still bandits pillaging this area, it would be best that you two have someone with you. This town still needs protection as well, so not all of us can go.”

“Lee and Kiba will go with you to protect you from harm.”

Gai struck a pose and Neji smacked his forehead.

Naruto felt his guts twist up at the thought of returning to Konoha. Neji had said that they did not blame him. But still, now everyone knew about the demon in him. He doubted that they would forgive him for every thing that had happened, everyone that had died because of the war.

Suddenly there was warm arms around him and a firm chest against his own. Hands gently ran through his hair.

“We don’t have to stay after Kyuubi is sealed.”

Naruto wrapped his arms around the taller teens chest and buried his face in Sasuke’s shoulder.

He could hear the hesitant voice of Neji over Sasuke’s heart.

“He doesn’t want to go back?”

Sasuke’s voice vibrated in his chest.
“He’s worried that the towns folk will hate him for every thing that has happened.”

He remembered telling Sasuke that months ago. Naruto was surprised that Sasuke had remembered.

Then there was another hand on his back and it was rubbing calming circles.

“Naruto look at me.”

Slowly the blond turned his head so that his ear was against Sasuke’s shoulder. Neji was close and was smiling.

“You’ll be surprised Naruto, everyone missed you. It was like all the sun light disappeared when you left. Shinobi were lining up for missions to come find you. The ramen stand you always went to, has a banner ‘Naruto Come Home’ up. The place just is not the same without the number one noisy ninja.”

“They want me back after everything?”

“Yes, they want you back. I want you to come back.”

Sasuke pulled away leaving Naruto standing alone.

“Well dobe, do we go back or what.”

“I’ll go back, but if I don’t like it, I’ll leave after Kyuubi’s sealed.”

“We’ll leave then, I don’t think you would survive on your own dobe.”

“Bastard. Don’t call me that.”

Sasuke was about to retort but an odd sound reached his ears. Looking over he saw Gai sobbing his eyes out.

Neji rubbed his temples.

“If you leave. I’ll go with you.”

Naruto laughed, all the years of having to deal with Gai must be driving Neji crazy.
