The Wheels in Motion
A/N: Here's the chapter! Sorry its rather late... you have no idea how hard writing this chapter was! I even contemplated a few times on giving up! :O I know! But I remembered my reviews and continued on. That having said, REVIEW!
FULL Summary: Naruto is the Konoha District Attorney responsible for prosecuting Itachi. Unwittingly, he is thrown into the middle of a dangerous conspiracy, where blackmail and deceit become the rule of the day. Can he even trust Sasuke, his long lost best friend that he was just recently reunited with? SasuNaruSasu AU
Rating: Relatively harmless now, M for later chapters...
Disclaimer: There are many things that I own, Naruto not being on of them.
“Who had the DNA match?”
“Uchiha Sasuke”
Shit. It was Sasuke… All the while, Sasuke.
Naruto slumped against the hospital wall. Sasuke…
No. Sasuke must have had an explanation. He must have!
He would not draw anymore conclusions! Sasuke will have an explanation!
Refusing to draw anymore conclusions, Naruto promptly walked back into Sasuke’s room.
Sasuke was looking out of the hospital’s window. He turned his head slightly, noticing Naruto, and resumed his gazing.
Naruto exhaled deeply, and sank into the seat he was sleeping in just minutes ago.
“Sasuke…”
Sasuke turned his head slightly towards Naruto to indicate that he was listening.
“Can you please look at me?”
Slightly surprised with the harsh tone Naruto used, Sasuke turned his head fully towards Naruto, expecting Naruto’s goofiness to return.
Instead, he was met with a hard and calculating gaze.
Shit, Naruto did look scary when he was serious.
Sasuke raised his eyebrows, allowing his emotionless façade to wash over his features, while waiting for Naruto to talk.
Naruto was debating as to how he would start the obviously uncomfortable conversation.
“Dobe, I don’t have all day”
Naruto’s anger spiked for unexplainable reasons with the use of his pet name.
“You don’t have all day. What? So you have time to plan death threats and no time for me?”
A look of shock temporarily came over Sasuke’s face before it vanished. The tension in the air was almost unbearable.
“Nothing to say? Sasuke, I am so disappointed. I treated you as my friend, and… and… you tried to sabotage my case... Please tell me Sasuke, please tell me you have an explanation for this…”
Sasuke’s emotionless face appeared unchanged, but in reality, inside him there was a huge emotional turmoil going on.
After a projected amount of silence, Sasuke finally broke the silence.
“Naruto… there are some things that I cannot tell you… There are some things that I should not tell you… must not tell you”
“What sort of bullshit is this?”
“Just… just… trust me”
For the first time since they’ve reunited, Naruto could see the pleading expression in Sasuke’s eyes that only he could see after years of practice.
Sighing, Naruto replied: “I am duty bound to use this against you in court you know… ”
Sasuke said nothing, but Naruto could see the pleading expression still lingering in Sasuke’s eyes. Despite everything, despite the severity of this, Naruto couldn’t help but want to believe his best friend, want to trust him.
“Sasuke…”
“Naruto… Just… trust me” Sasuke let himself plead for once in his life.
Naruto could do nothing but nod dumbly, letting his instinct, his instinct to trust Sasuke again take over.
“I need to go back to work. Will you be okay here?”
Sasuke nodded slightly.
Naruto turned around and opened the door. Before he exited, he swear he heard a small: “Thank you Naruto”
Smiling warmly to himself, Naruto pushed opened the door and walked out.
Naruto made up his mind. Sasuke was being brainwashed by Itachi, and made to be a pawn in this elaborate scheme to get himself off. Sasuke was being toyed with, and it was up to him, it was up to Uzumaki Naruto to safe his friend. He had to be there for Sasuke.
Nodding to himself again, Naruto walked down the corridor towards the main exit, failing to notice the two black eyes of Uchiha Itachi spying on him at a distance.
It was a few days before the trial was due to start when Naruto received a call from the court clerk. The Akatsuki ten have apparently gathered enough support and evidence to file a motion.
Upon learning what the motion was, Naruto was stunned into a full five second silence. He thanked the clerk and put down the phone without learning when the motion was to be heard. The Akatsuki had managed to file a motion to apply for Tsunade to recuse herself, again. Without further ado, Naruto immediately called Tsunade to clarify the matter. All Tsunade told Naruto to do was to come to her office immediately…
…which is how Naruto found himself in front of the court building for the umpteenth time in his life. Ignoring the usual raised eyebrows from the same security guard, he hastily walked in the direction of Tsunade’s chambers.
Just as he was about to burst into her office, unannounced, as usual, he couldn’t help but to stop himself from pushing open the door. There were voices in the room. Urgent voices.
Lowering his outstretched palms about to push into the room, Naruto pressed his ears to the door.
“I can not allow you to pervert the sense of justice!” A man said in a calm voice. The word pervert immediately reminded Naruto of… The Pervert.
“You will NOT INTERFERE WITH MY CASE” Naruto flinched as he heard Tsunade shout and brought her hand to the poor table.
“Tsu…”
“I assume you have something to do with this motion? Jiraiya, I always tremendous respect for you! I cannot believe you are sinking to this level! I cannot believe you have been bought over by them! How much did they pay you, huh?” Ah, so it is The Pervert.
“Tsunade, I assure you, I had nothing to do with this. However, this might be a good time to recuse yourself”
“I don’t believe you”
“I repeat, I did not have anything to do with this. However, whatever intentions Akatsuki have, this will be an excellent opportunity to recuse yourself from this case. Tsunade, if you cannot guarantee impartiality, then you have to recuse yourself”
“Get out of my office. Now”
Naruto heard shuffling, and promptly stood away from the door. The Pervert walked out, noticed Naruto, nodded to him, and walked down the corridor, exiting the building.
Naruto peeked into the room. It is never wise to have any contact with Tsunade within an hour of her outbursts.
However, Naruto was out of luck today. Tsunade saw him, got up, shoved him into her chambers, and slammed the door shut.
Naruto gulped. Tsunade was not pleased. Crap.
Walking and taking a seat opposite Tsunade, he looked up to see a very pissed Tsunade glaring at him.
“What’s going on?”
“What’s going on? I’ll tell you what’s going on! What’s going on is it seems someone has been a bigmouth…” Tsunade’s eyes looked dangerously small at this stage “… and has blurted out nearly every detail on our little ex parte encounter! Every, fucking, detail! From my relationship with the Uchiha clan members, my friendship with Mikoto, me dating Shisui, every FUCKING detail!”
Naruto sank into his chair, too shocked for words.
When Naruto finally found his tongue again, he managed to stutter out meekly: “I swear, I told no one!”
“Hn”
Tsunade appeared to be deep thought.
“It either means that my office is bugged, or that someone is spying on us…”
Naruto nodded. That must be it. He was sure he didn’t mention the encounter to anyone.
“So what are we going to do now?”
Tsunade cocked her head, and started slowly, as if choosing her words carefully: “You try to survive the motion… It’s in 15 minutes…”
“15 minutes!?”
“Yes, yes… Try to hold up against the Akatsuki… I’ll do my best too…”
Sighing, Naruto walked up to the door and was about to open the door before turning his head around to look at Tsunade.
“Don’t you think this is perverting our system?”
Tsunade sighed again, before standing up and walking towards Naruto.
“What perverts our system is when rich bastards such as Uchiha Itachi get away with murder. Our system is about justice. What does it say about our system when an understaffed, underfunded DA goes up against a multi billion dollar law firm?”
Tsunade reached Naruto, and clapped him on the shoulder.
“We are all interested in justice here. Justice is served when guilty men pay for what they have done. We have a guilty man here. As a matter of justice, we have to do everything to make sure he pays”
Naruto smiled weakly at Tsunade, before opening the door and walking out of Tsunade’s office and into the courtroom. Oh boy… This was going to be a long session.
OK, can you guys take a guess as to what is happening? There is a conspiracy behind the revealing of Tsunade's ex parte meetings with Naruto... Hehehe... Cookies to whoever correctly guesses what I am plotting ;)
