The Motion
A/N: Here's the chapter. Part of the big conspiracy and secret would be revealed the next chapter!
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: Not mine.
Naruto walked into the courtroom only to be met by blinding flashes of light and the clicking of the cameras. Shielding his eyes from the glaring flashes, he slowly maneuvered his way towards the prosecutor’s table, noticing that Kiba was already there. He gave a weak grin to Kiba, before collapsing into the chair.
Naruto then noticed a figure walking towards the prosecutor’s table, before stopping before Naruto, imposing his presence over him.
Naruto squinted through all the camera flashes and realized it was Pein.
“I see you are still on this case”
Naruto’s anger spiked.
“Why wouldn’t I be?”
Pein leaned close into Naruto, before whispering into his ear.
“I would have thought the little gunshot your friend sustained would be enough to convince you”
Straightening up, Pein continued, in a soft, but nevertheless dangerous voice.
“But apparently it was not enough for you”
Naruto leapt to his feet, ready to assault the other lawyer.
Kiba, noticing the exchange, tried, and failed to restrain him.
Naruto was about to punch Pein, when…
“All rise. The honorable Judge Tsunade presiding” announced the court clerk over the commotion.
Tsunade walked into the courtroom, noticing the brawl between Naruto and Pein, and rushed to her seat.
Naruto was being confronted by Pein, Kisame and Zetsu at this stage.
Tsunade began banging her gavel repeatedly.
“Order, ORDER!”
It was only when Tsunade ordered the court security personnel to break up the fight when order was restores in the court.
“I would remind both sides of where they are, and who they are. I will let this incident pass, but make no mistake, the next time I find the decorum of my courtroom to be broken, someone is going to be held in contempt and will spend the night in a jail cell. Do I make myself clear?”
All the lawyers in the room nodded.
“Good. Now I understand the defense has a motion? ”
Kisame stood up and walked to the centre of the courtroom.
“Yes your honor. We have brought forward a motion to suggest that you recuse yourself”
Tsunade’s face scrunched up in disgust before waving her hand.
“Let’s hear it”
“Yes your honor”
Kisame took a few steps and retrieved a file from the table in front of the Akatsuki ten.
“Your honor, we have sworn affidavits from several sources alleging your personal attachment to this case”
Handing the file to Tsunade, Kisame was about to continue his speech when he was interrupted by Tsunade.
“Hold on. These affidavits are sealed”
“Witness Protection Act, your honor”
“This person was never granted witness protection. Besides if you have heard of something called the constitution, every defendant has a right to confront his or her accuser. I am being accused of obstruction of justice. I want to confront this person”
Kisame paused for a moment, thinking, before answering: “There is no case filed against your honor. Nobody is accusing you of anything. We are merely trying to establish that you are not the best candidate for this trial. In the interest of justice, you could recuse yourself…”
Tsunade cut Kisame off at that point: “At my discretion. I see no need to exercise it. The motion to recuse is denied. Anything else?”
Kisame’s eyes narrowed slightly before answering, in an almost threatening tone: “No”
“Right. I will see one District Attorney and one defense counsel in my chambers now”
Banging her gavel, Tsunade exited the courtroom and entered her office, which was joined directly in her courtroom.
Motioning Pein to close the door after Naruto walked in, Tsunade walked across her chambers and motioned for both lawyers to take a seat.
“Counsel…” Tsunade started, looking at Pein “I will say this once, and I will say this again, you will not bring up the issue of requesting that I recuse myself again. Do I make myself clear?”
Pein’s eyes narrowed threateningly before resuming their normal positions.
“Yes, your honor”
“Also, at this point I am shutting down the window of opportunity to file any more motions”
Pein was first to speak up: “Why?”
“Because the trial starts in a week. Knowing the reputation of your firm, I am shutting any opportunity for you to spring an unfair surprise”
“Your honor, that remark clearly shows your predisposition”
“Which I remind you, is not unprecedented. I repeat, I am shutting down all motions. You can go now, counsel” Tsunade waved her hand, indicating that Pein should leave her chambers, but making a motion for Naruto to stay.
Pein’s eyes once again narrowed. “Your honor, I don’t think I need to remind you that it is highly inappropriate for you to be having an ex parte meeting with one of the lawyers!”
“Oh really? We weren’t really going to discuss the case”
“Still, this is highly inappropriate!”
“I am handing the DA a cooking recipe that I don’t want anyone else, most of all you, to have. Certainly no impropriety there! Now, run along”
Pein stood there stunned for a moment before conceding. Throwing both Tsunade and Naruto a dirty look, he stomped out of the room, slamming the door behind him.
Tsunade and Naruto both sat in silence before Naruto broke it.
“So… ”
“Naruto, you are going to have to move fast. I’ve managed to preempt the Akatsuki by shutting down all motions. I had prior knowledge tat they were planning to file an enormous one with at least one truck load of files to overwhelm your already understaffed office. But Naruto… I’m telling you… they’ll think of something…”
“I know…. ”
“I need you to make sure the jury convicts on one of the charges. Focus on murder two or the lesser charges if you have to. I need you to allow this to go to sentencing. I will impose maximum on sentencing, but I cannot do so without you persuading the jury to convict on either count”
“Okay”
“And I am extremely suspicious of this affidavit. They didn’t produce any video recording or sound recording. This means that they have someone that could testify that they wanted to protect… There is most likely a mole somewhere… Either in my office or yours”
Naruto scratched his chin thoughtfully before responding: “I can think of no one in my office that would do such a thing”
Tsunade considered this carefully before nodding.
“You can go now”
Naruto turned around and was about to walk out of Tsunade’s chambers when he was stopped by Tsunade’s voice.
“Oh, Naruto?”
Naruto wheeled around and looked at Tsunade.
“Here’s the recipe that I didn’t want Pein to have” Tsunade smirked, handing Naruto a piece of paper.
Naruto’s eyebrows couldn’t go any higher as he took the piece of paper and excused himself. Outside the courthouse, he met up with Kiba before walking to his car.
His curiosity got the better of him though, as he immediately opened the piece of paper in front of Kiba and looked at it.
Smiling as he saw the brief note scribbled on the piece of paper: Good Luck! Do me proud!!
The next chapter is already partially written ;) If you want it up quickly then review :P
And I would like to remind you again the next one is a big one XD XD
Till we meet again,
