Wakashudo

Naruto woke up early the next morning. He was startled at first to feel a foreign weight lying next to him and then he remembered that he was not alone in his bed. Glancing at the clock he decided to let his friend sleep a little longer and carefully untangled himself from Konohamaru's legs. Climbing out of bed, he could see that the boy had abandoned the pillow altogether and had traveled down the bed during the night.

Quietly leaving the room, he headed for the kitchen to clean up the remnants of last night's meal. He thought about making more Ramen, but settled on cereal. It wasn't until he had poured two bowls full that he realized he didn't have milk. Not easily dissuaded, he grabbed two sodas from the fridge and brought everything back to his bedroom, the bowls on top of each other and the soda cans tucked under one arm.

Putting the bowls on the nightstand, he used his free hand to wake Konohamaru by putting a hand on his back and shaking him gently, “Time to get up.” His friend rolled over and smiled up at him groggily.

To make sure he was fully awake, Naruto pushed one can against his cheek which caused the younger to sit up and grab the can from his hand, “Soda for breakfast? You're awesome.”

“Yeah, well I don't have milk and were having cereal,” the blonde said a little embarrassed and sitting on the bed himself. The two of them talked of random things until they had emptied their bowls. To save time they showered together and they both got dressed. Naruto had never said it out loud, but both were expecting him to walk Konohamaru to the Academy.

As they were slipping on their sandals, Konohamaru looked up and asked, “Will you be free this afternoon?”

“Probably,” the blonde said scratching the back of his head, “I kind of have the day off.”

“So after the Academy you could help us again?”

“Yeah.” he smiled still nervous about it, but as unexpected as it was, he felt a little pride in the three's progress.

They left his apartment chatting about what they were learning at the Academy. He let Konohamaru lead the way and they detoured to pick up his two friends. The four of them all started chatting with each other. This was nice thought Naruto. Even though these kids were younger than him, he felt a part of their group.

When they reached the gates to the Academy there was a part of him that wished he could go in with them. It was not that he ever wished to return to the Academy for any reason, but he did wish that he had been in a group like that when he had been younger.

Naruto had not been completely friendless when he was at the Academy, but Shikamaru, Kiba and Chouji had been more playmates than friends. At times they had raised hell together and that had been fun, but what he felt for these three was much more akin to how he felt for his teammates. Well at least when Sasuke was not being an ass. Naruto shook his head to clear his thoughts. It was time for training.


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

Catching an ax kick with crossed forearms, Naruto brought his hands together grasping his opponent’s leg. Stepping towards the enemy’s center of mass and throwing him off balance, he tossed him into the enemy that was trying to sneak up behind him. When the clones collided they both dispersed and the original raised his hands in victory. Earlier, he had promised the winner of the battle a bowl of Ramen and of course he was the last Naruto standing.

There was suddenly the sound of clapping from behind him and the blonde spun, but instantly relaxed when he saw who it was. “Sakura,” he felt his cheeks warm, “how long were you there?”

“I saw you take out the last five. Hey, are you still trying to help Konohamaru study?”

“All three sort of.” he said wiping his suddenly sweaty palms against his clothes.

“Maybe you could have them practice their taijutsu against your clones. That is if you can control them well enough.” she added hurriedly.

“I'll try that. Um, is there a reason you came looking for me?” He wasn't sure why he had asked that, but his fingernails were biting into his palms awaiting the answer.

“The ceremony is about to begin in about ten minutes and I figured you would forget. So I thought I would check out your little private training spot.”

“Oh, I forgot about that.”To be honest, he had more likely blocked out something he was supposed to do after the ceremony. He had to meet with Konohamaru's uncle and for the life of him he couldn't understand why. After all, the man had allowed his nephew to spend the night last night.

“Are you okay Naruto?”

“What, oh yeah, were you saying something?”

Sakura shook her head and muttered something under her breath before turning and walking away. Her teammate ran to catch up to her and before he could say anything she spoke up, “Sasuke is going to be in the hospital for about a week or at least that's what sensei told me.”

“Really, is he hurt?” Naruto had been hospitalized after training himself, but never for so long.

“He strained his chakra system. It's like this; the chakra system is like wiring in a house. Well, Sasuke has pushed himself so hard it is as if he stripped all the insulation off of his wires.” Sakura supplied before adding, “I should have done something sooner.” Naruto nodded, he was not familiar with stripped wires but if it was anything like brushing up against an empty light socket he could sympathize.

There was already a crowd at their destination and when they spotted the familiar face of Hinata they headed over towards her and her team. He called a greeting to her and she turned greeting both of them. Her face was really red and the blonde wondered if she should be in bed or something.

Before he could voice that opinion, though, a hush fell over the crowd and he looked up at the top of the building. Tsunade stood there in the traditional robes and hat. She gave a brief speech and ended by tearing off the hat and saying she would be known as the Fifth Hokage. The crowd clapped and cheered, and for a second, Naruto imagined himself up there in a few years, receiving the applause.

He was pulled out of his daydream by a rather large hand landing on his shoulder. Glancing up, the blonde swallowed and Asuma smiled down at him, a cigarette between his lips. “You got a few minutes?”

Nodding reluctantly, he said goodbye to Sakura who seemed a little curious at this odd combination. At least that's what it looked like to Naruto when he glanced back over his shoulder and forced a smile. Unfortunately, he still couldn't figure out why this man wanted to talk to him. Their first meeting hadn't gone well, but afterword when Konohamaru was in that hospital bed and he thought the man would be angry at him, he seemed to be okay. So what did he want to talk about?

Entering the park, they walked silently along the paths for a minute before the man sat on an empty park bench and gestured for him to do the same. It was then that the Genin noticed the brown bag the other man was carrying. Placing the bag between them, the man said, “Here, if you two are going to do it you might as well be safe. Not that I'm encouraging anything.”

Frowning, the young teen took the bag and opened it. The first thing he saw was something he recognized, the white book that he had given to Asuma during their first meeting. Reaching a hand in, he pushed it aside to see what was under it and only became confused. There were two containers of Vaseline and a bunch of little wrappers. Curious, he picked one up between his fingers and stared at the foil wrapped object. Then he remembered something that Iruka had said and he dropped it startlingly, they were condoms.

The teen's head snapped around to stare at the older man, his eyes wide. Holding up a hand toward the Jonin forestalled his words, “I know, I know, you're not doing that yet, but when you do I want you to have the stuff you know.”

At that moment the blonde wished he could transform into a leaf and blow away on the wind. He really didn't want to talk about this or even think about it for that matter. “Um, okay, thanks.”

For a second the Genin hoped that this was the end of the conversation and he was about to stand when the older man spoke up again, “He can spend the night at your place. As long as it doesn't affect his homework or interfere with the Academy, and if you too would like, maybe you could spend the night at his place once in a while.”

“Okay.”

The older man pulled out another cigarette and took a long drag before continuing, “Konohamaru and I have to pay our respects to his grandfather today. Afterwards, I would appreciate it if he could spend the night at your place again. I have a thing and I would feel a lot better if he didn't have to spend the night alone.”

“Sure, I like having him over,” he felt his face turned hot thinking that the man might take that the wrong way.

“Yeah, he likes you a lot and if it makes him happy I guess that's what is important.” There was another uncomfortable silence before he added, “When you were gone he missed you.”

Naruto nodded even though the Jonin couldn't see him.

“There's Konohamaru and he brought his friends. Well, I'm going to grab him and I an sure he'll be happy to hear he can spend the night with you, but just one thing.” The man stood and Naruto could feel his eyes staring at his head, “Make sure you and Konohamaru are on the same page. There's more than one way to hurt him.”

With that cryptic statement to Naruto, he left, leaving him to ponder what he meant. The blonde knew he could never hurt Konohamaru intentionally, so what had his uncle meant by that. His thoughts chased themselves in circles, not making any headway and he was only pulled out of them when two shadows fell over his own. Moegi and Udon stood in front of him, both acting a little nervous, “Hey,” he said smiling up at them.

“Naruto,” she started shifting her feet and then blurted out, “Can you play with us?”

Naruto blinked for a second and then his grin widened, “Sure.” He stood, grateful for the distraction. That was until Udon spoke up.

“What's in the bag?”

The blonde had almost forgotten about it and he stepped between Udon and the bag, waving his arms. “It's just some stuff.”

“Like what?” Udon asked innocently.

The blonde bit his lip wishing that damned bag would just disappear and then he had an idea so brilliant he had to compliment himself. “It's nothing important,” and as he spoke he created a clone which grabbed the bag and ran off with it. It was supposed to hide it someplace in his apartment. The original tapped Udon on the head saying, “You're it.”


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

Playing with two thirds of the Konohamaru core was not that different than playing with the full set. Still, when they were playing tag he couldn't help but notice that he didn't have to hold back as much to keep the game interesting. When tag became boring they moved on to other games and he even tried out Sakura's idea for Taijutsu practice. Udon seemed to enjoy this more than Moegi, but the three ended the day under a tree just talking.

When they had to go he headed home, only stopping to pick up milk. As much as he tried to stay in the good mood his two little friends had put him in, Asuma’s words came back to him. His fists clenched. He wouldn't hurt Konohamaru and he had no intention of ever using the stuff he had given him. Why couldn't his uncle understand that? He loved Konohamaru.

The blond stopped dead in his tracks as that thought hit him. Up until now, he had never really thought how weird that word was. He would never admit it to anyone, but he had loved the Third like how he thought somebody might love their grandfather. He loved Iruka like a father or at least what he imagined one would be like. So what did he feel for Konohamaru?

He was more than a friend. Moegi, Udon and even Sasuke were friends. Konohamaru was something more, something more like a brother. Yes, a little brother. Someone he wanted to protect, to help and more importantly to be happy.

Then he thought of the last type of love he knew. He loved Sakura like a girlfriend. In a way, though, that wasn't much different than what he felt for Konohamaru. He wanted her to be happy and he wanted to hug her, kiss her and do other things that made him blush just thinking about. If it wasn't for Asuma’s words he would never have made the next jump. Could Konohamaru have confused the two? After all, they were doing stuff together and it wasn't like he would do that with just anyone.

That thought bothered him and he rushed home suddenly feeling a need to look at the book. Upon entering the apartment, he threw the milk in the fridge and immediately headed for the cabinet under his sink. At that moment he was incredibly grateful to Jiraiya for mentioning the clone thing to him earlier. He still found it weird to receive a clone’s memory, but at least he wouldn't have to tear apart his apartment looking for where the clone might have stashed the book.

He scanned the book nervously, but the more he read the more he relaxed. The book rarely used the word love, but on occasion it did. He relaxed a little and now that his mind was out of frantic mode he was able to think a little more clearly. Konohamaru's uncle cared for him, of that he had no doubt. However, that didn't necessarily mean he knew everything about him. He decided that he could just have a simple talk with his young friend and he could put his mind at ease. Almost as an afterthought, he decided no more kissing, even if it was for practice.

About twenty minutes later, he heard his lock being picked and the door opening. Konohamaru came in grinning and joined him in the kitchen. Although Naruto had intended to talk to him right away, it just didn't seem like the right time. Instead, he listened to his friend's account of the day and his visit to a shrine just outside of the village. After that, he brought out three rounded magnets from the set Naruto had given him for his birthday and showed him a few tricks.

Konohamaru had a little homework to do and Naruto looked it over in the kitchen, but either it was perfect or he just didn't see the mistakes. After that they played War with a deck of cards that Iruka had given him for his eleventh birthday. It was the first time they were being used, and as it became dark out, Naruto asked, “So, your uncle has a mission tonight?”

The younger boy looked at him as if he had grown a second head before he broke into laughter. “A mission,” he said once he had calmed down, “He’s on a date.” A smile tugged at the blondes lips even as he felt a flush of embarrassment. Konohamaru came over, still grinning, and hopped into his lap, “Hey, you think we could.” he trailed off.

Naruto felt a stirring in his pants and he answered, “Sure.” before remembering he wanted to have a talk with his friend. Unfortunately, the boy had already darted off to the bedroom, and again, he thought it just wasn't the right moment as he followed him.

Konohamaru was waiting by the bed, a grin splitting his face, “Sit down.” Naruto did so slightly reluctant and his friend stood in front of him. With no preamble, the boy pulled off his shirt, exposing his chest. Then, with another quick movement, he dropped his pants and kicked them to the side, leaving him with only a pair of large purple boxers on. His little head poked through the flap, already becoming erect. The Academy student then slipped his hands into his waistband and lowered them slowly. Once the band passed his butt they fell down his legs. Spinning, he stepped out of them and finished with a grin, his hands clasped behind him.

The older teen was embarrassingly hard and he grinned stupidly just looking at the younger one until his friend said, “Your turn.”

Snapping out of his trance, he unzipped his jacket while pulling it off and tossing it over his shoulder. He yanked off the T-shirt underneath it, exposing his chest to the air. “What's that?” Konohamaru asked pointing to his chest.

Looking down, the blonde saw the necklace he had won from Tsunade. Grinning, he answered, “I won this from the new Hokage when she lost a bet to me.”

“Cool.” Konohamaru said stepping forward and taking the crystal between two fingers. Naruto was pretty sure that it wouldn't break, but he gently took it back before taking it off and putting it around one of his bed posts. Even though they had been interrupted he could still see that Konohamaru was hard as was he. Then, he slipped his boxers off with his pants and they were both nude.

For a second, they just stared at each other until the younger hopped up onto his lap with his legs spread and touched their two smaller heads together. The blonde thought it felt weird, but good, and he couldn't break his gaze from the sight. That was why he didn't notice Konohamaru leaning in until their lips came into contact. He was frozen and pulled back, holding his younger friend at a distance.

The thirds grandson almost looked hurt by the action and he quickly moved to explain, “I think we shouldn't do that anymore.”

“Why?”

Naruto felt a little guilty at his friend's hurt expression, but it didn't change his mind. “Well, I think kissing is something you should only do with the girl you really like, okay?” The boy nodded and he hugged him and said, “We're friends and I'll do anything you want, but no kissing.”

They stayed like that and it was Konohamaru who broke it first. He leaned back, readjusting his position by swinging his legs around Naruto and hooking his ankles together behind him. He then reached down between them and pulled up the older erection. He scooted closer, keeping his arms around him. There erections came into contact and he rested his chin on the older shoulder.

The blonde liked the feeling of the younger scrotum against his shaft and he allowed his hands to drift down to the younger’s butt before lifting him. The friction that provided felt good and he lowered him only to push him back up again. After a few times of that, his arms were feeling a little tired and the next time he lowered him he simply started thrusting against him. After a moment, Konohamaru joined him going in the opposite way and the two quickly fell into a rhythm which allowed Konohamaru's soft, but firm, scrotum to move up and down the entire length of Naruto shaft.

This went on for several minutes and both of them broke into a sweat. Then, Konohamaru's legs tightened around him as did his arms and a second later he gasped. Naruto climax a second later, shooting his sperm between the two of them. They hung onto each other for a few minutes, just panting and enjoying the afterglow. The sticky mess between the two of them was starting to bother Naruto and he picked his partner up and carried him to the bathroom. When he put him down, the white stuff almost acted like glue.

The blonde grabbed the toilet paper and cleaned Konohamaru first. When clean, his younger friend lowered the seat on the toilet and sat down and watched as his older friend cleaned himself. His eyes were slits and Naruto left the room to grab their pajamas. Naruto ended up carrying him back to the bed where the older of the two quickly fell asleep, joined shortly thereafter by his young friend.


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

Naruto woke suddenly to a strange, but familiar sensation. Cracking his eyes open, it took him a second to focus and when they did he smiled. Konohamaru’s head was bobbing up and down on his morning wood. His younger friend must have sensed that he had woken him because he looked up and smiled around the organ in his mouth.

The blonde rested his head back on the pillow, enjoying waking up to this instead of his alarm clock. Unfortunately, the familiar tingling sensation came all too soon this early in the morning. Picking his head back up to look down at his younger friend, he said, “It's coming.”

As he said those words, Konohamaru pulled back, keeping only the head in his mouth. Seconds later, the blonde felt his seed leave his body and he inhaled sharply, arching at the pleasant sensation. When the peak passed, he looked down again just in time to see his young friend with his eyes closed swallow his load. “You swallowed?” Naruto questioned, not believing his eyes.

The younger boy wiped his hand across his lips although there was nothing there and looked up at him smiling. “It's not so bad. I've been swallowing that pre-cum stuff and it can't be much different.”

Naruto made a face at the thought, remembering his own experience, but then his friend sat up showing off his tent and he knew he had a favor to repay. As he sat up, though, there was a knock at his door and they both froze. So far, every time there had been a knock at his apartment's door when they were together it had turned out to be, universally, a bad thing.

Unfortunately, Naruto knew ignoring it wouldn't make the problem go away and he swung out of bed making sure his fly was buttoned up. He heard Konohamaru right behind him and he looked just in time to see him tucking his little problem under his waistband of his pajamas. Reaching the door, he took one deep breath before opening it.

Shikamaru was standing on the other side of the door and before Naruto could ask what was up the young Chunin spoke. “Sometime last night, Sasuke Uchiha was either taken from his hospital room or left with enemy agents. I've been assigned to go after them and have been given permission to recruit any Genin I can find.” He blinked seeing the other boy for the first time, “Why is he here?”
