Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo
Naruto’s breath came in sharp bursts and red stained his vision. Sakura was next to him crying, but at the same time telling him soothing words to calm Kyuubi. The blond’s eyes were narrowed at the blonde women sitting at the desk in front of him, her feet up on the pristine wood surface.
“Uchiha Sasuke was a missing nin and he killed a teacher. He must suffer the most severe punishment we have: death.” Tsunade said. Naruto was going to protest, but the Hokage put her hand up in front of him. “He made the decision and he must suffer the consequences.”
“But death?!” The kyuubi-vessel exclaimed, breaking his arm for Sakura’s grip and slamming his hands down onto Tsunade’s desk. The whisker marks on his cheeks darkened and his fingernails grew longer, biting into the wood of her table. “He’s been through too much already.”
“Naruto, please.” Sakura sobbed, reaching out to once again grasp his arm. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand then forced a weak smile. “It’s going to be okay. Sasuke-kun is…he…he has to face the consequences of his actions. You know that.”
“No. No, no, no! I won’t let you kill him!” The blond snarled through clenched teeth, the points of sharp canines peaking out between his lips. There was a low growl coming from his stomach that made Sakura flinch slightly, terrified. She grasped his arm tighter as he continued. “I spent too much time trying to get him back and I won’t let him go without a fight!”
“Listen, brat-“ The door to her office slammed before she could get a word out, and she growled low in her throat. She almost forgot that the remaining members of team 7 were still in front of her. She looked up and glared in the direction of the door.
“Maybe he just needs some time, Tsunade-sama.” Sakura said weakly. She swiped her hand across her eyes once more before heading over to the door and leaving, Sai following closely at her heels.
The Hokage leaned back in her chair and gently massaged her temples. “That damn brat is about getting on my last nerve.” She murmured to the empty room.
Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo
He ran all the way from Hokage tower and didn’t stop for anything. He was an orange blur in the tree branches that nobody could see. He was angry, exhausted, frustrated, and he wanted so badly to go and see Sasuke. But knowing the Hokage, she wouldn’t let him.
Naruto landed on a particularly wobbly tree branch and slid down against the trunk of the tree, breathing heavily. A trail of hot tears trailed down his cheeks, dripping from his chin and disappearing into the collar of his jacket. He wiped at them with an angry fist, only causing a fresh batch to start.
So he started to run again. The tears just wouldn’t stop, and he knew the only way to make them was to save Sasuke. He had to, even if it meant breaking some laws. The Gondaime Hokage wouldn’t hear what he had to say anyway; that much was clear. What was he going to do?
Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo
The door slammed open and Tsunade looked up to see the ‘brat’ she had been thinking about. His fists were clenched at his sides and there were tear stains on his cheeks. Tsunade leaned forward in her chair, her mouth hanging slightly open. It was all so clear to her now.
“I’ll make a deal with you, Tsunade-baa-chan. If you-“
“-Does Sakura know?” The Hokage countered, her hands resting on the table as she stood. She grinned wickedly down at the boy she could consider her son, although he was a little annoying. The boy looked more than a little confused.
“Does Sakura know what?” he asked, his head tilted up at her questioningly. He folded his arms across his chest and narrowed his eyes. The hag was looking at him weirdly.
“I’m going to put the keys to Sasuke’s cell on the table and turn my back. You’d better not take them and run, brat, or I’ll chase you.” Tsunade did just what she said she would, and waited for Naruto to take the keys from her desk. Five minutes passed with no movement. Growling, she turned around and glared at the blond still standing in front of her. “Take the keys, baka! Unlock your little boyfriend’s cell! Any why you’re at it tell Sakura that you’re in love with her biggest crush! You make everything so difficult!”
Naruto turned a whole new shade of red and hastily grabbed the keys before the blonde women could say anything more about his ‘boyfriend’. It was bad enough that she had seen right through him.
Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo
The key slid into the lock, and with a soft click, the door slid open. It was dark inside and Naruto could barely make out the hunched figure sitting in the far corner of the small room. Said hunched figure looked up, Sharingan eyes ablaze.
“Naruto…” Sasuke muttered, something akin to a smile flitting across his lips. It was gone in a second, though; to be replaced by the Uchiha’s patented glare.
The door slid shut and the two were cast into perfect darkness. Naruto felt his way to the light hanging from the ceiling, reached up to pull the cord, and lit up the dank room. The dark-haired teen shrank away from the light, blocking his eyes with his hands.
“I need to talk to you.” Naruto told him. He took a seat on the dirty floor in front of the other boy, his legs folded underneath him. He had given the keys to the two ANBU guarding the door, and now his hands felt as empty as his chest. But Sasuke just looked blankly at him, not caring that the person he had tried to kill three times was sitting and having a civil, one-sided conversation with himself. The only thing he did care about was that the boy he was possibly in love with – and the boy that had tried to save him – was having a civil, one-sided conversation with himself. “Are you listening to me, teme?!” The blond yelled.
“Hn.” Sasuke stared evenly at his old teammate, wanting to tell him how much he had screwed up, but his mouth and brain wouldn’t agree on anything. So instead, he said, “Looks like you couldn’t save me, usuratonkachi.” And Sasuke knew he had said the wrong thing, because Naruto winced and tried to hide the tears that were shining in the corners of his eyes.
“At least I tried.” Came the soft reply. Naruto moved forward, cupping either side of Sasuke’s face in his hands, and kissed him hesitantly. The blond waited for Sasuke to push him away, but when the dark-haired boy began to kiss back, Naruto surged forward.
Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo
The Gondaime Hokage stood outside the door, listening to the muffled sounds of their voices. The two ANBU guarding the door looked a little pale, but you couldn’t really tell; they wore masks. The one nearest to the door spoke up first.
“Hokage-sama, should we stop them?”
“No, “ Tsunade smiled, “let them celebrate Sasuke’s yet-to-be-announced pardon.”
