In claws of evil

Chapter 18: To control your emotions

“Ahh harder… Sas´keee.” The blonde half-demon growled as he buried his hands in his lovers pitch black locks. Sasuke was relieved that Naruto´s demonic claws seemed to have withdrawn for the day or his scalp would have been a bloodied mess by now.

The spar with Jiraiya earlier that day had had a calming effect on the blonde who was in full control of his new powerful self.

´He needs to burn off a lot of chakra till he learns to master his demonic strength… but there should be no problem in finding ways to do that at the Sound as we´ll have to rebuild everything and Sound has many enemies who needs to be dealt with, before our new home will be accepted as a real hidden village.` The Uchiha thought as he continued to nibble at the blonde´s delicious neck.

He was currently pushing his Kitsune up against the door to the bedroom; grinding against his lover while groping the blonde´s firm ass.

Sasuke was happy that they had learned that Naruto wasn´t going to snap easily even though that old pervert had brought up the worst possible person to tease his lover with in the heat of the battle; Orochimaru… thank kami that he was dead already.

Naruto had been hurt and very pissed… but he had still managed to control his emotions and come up with the plan to defeat his old sensei with his greatest weakness; the Harem no Jutsu.

´My heart chose wisely as it picked you koibito… you are strong and beautiful… in body and mind… my perfect lover and companion in life. We will certainly do great things together at the Sound.`

“… Sasuke… Is something wrong?” Naruto tilted his head to the left as he leaned against the wall with only his elbows.

“No, nothing wrong, koi… I was just thinking of our future together.” The Uchiha said before kissing his Dobe´s lovely pink lips as he dragged the blonde down to the floor with him; turning them over so that Naruto ended on top of him.

“I hope you imagined a good future, Teme,” the foxy blonde grinned.

“Oh it was… as you were by my side… you complete me, Naruto.”

“… You are my significant other too… Now, let’s continue… I´m horny,” Naruto purred seductively as he straddled Sasuke´s hips after tearing of all their clothes.

“Then ride me, koi,” the Uchiha moaned as he admired Naruto´s toned body on top of his pale one. He loved it when Naruto was dominant and wild even though he always bottomed as it allowed Sasuke to let go and just feel… feel the love for his foxy blonde to fill him till he just bust.

“Oh god, I love you, Naruto.” He moaned as the foxy blonde moved his hips; riding him till they both came with passionate cries.

The following day:

“Shizune will answer your questions about diplomacy and how to get a hang of the paperwork today, Sasuke-kun.” Tsunade said as Naruto and Sasuke had entered her office.

“Naruto will come with me to the training grounds as we need to work on his chakra control.”

“Oi, I can control my chakra just fine, Baa-chan.” The blonde chirped.

“I know gaki… but don´t you want to be able to gain full control over it? You didn´t unleash all you power yesterday, and even as you got a mean beating you´re not even the least bit sore today are you.”

“… I do want to be able to control it all, but how?”

“Neji and Shikamaru will help you with that. Neji will help you with the flow of chakra and Shikamaru will teach you how to keep a clear head… at all times.”

“But he was calm and in control yesterday.” Sasuke argued.

“Yes, but as Jiraiya began to talk badly about you, Naruto almost lost it. Your love towards each other makes you strong… but can be used against you too. What do you think would happen if someone hurt you during a battle, Sasuke? What would Naruto do?”

“… I see. He would lose his temper and maybe even end up making the situation even worse. We will lead a nation soon… we have to be able to think before we act at all times.” The Uchiha said thoughtfully.

“Correct. You should work on that too as you´re very protective and possessive about Naruto as well. It could be used against you too.” Tsunade said with a smug grin as the raven blushed at her comment. It was true… he had been willing to tear Jiraiya apart as he had insulted his Dobe yesterday.

“So you see, Naruto. shogi is a good way to learn how to plan ahead and form a strategy and yoga and cloud gazing while watching your breathing will help you to stay calm.” Shikamaru said while letting out a yawn after he had played a few rounds of shogi with the blonde.

Shikamaru had to admit that Naruto hat caught the idea of the complicated game rather quick, not that he had been able to win against an advanced player like the shadow bender, but he would soon if he practiced for a few months.

Nara wondered if the blonde had always had it in him or if the merging with the ancient Kitsune had something to do with it. He had always known that the blonde wasn´t stupid… he was just uneducated as no one wanted to take care of the demon-carrier when he was a kid.

´I wonder what he would be like if his parents were still around or if Naruto would have been adopted by… the Hyuuga´s or even my family?` He thought as Naruto thanked him for the lessons.

“So what is up now?” The blonde asked with a grin.

“I´m gonna watch the clouds while Neji will take it from here.” Shikamaru said lazily as he lay down on the warm grass and closed his eyes.

“Good luck with that with your eyes closed, you lazy bum,” the blonde chuckled before he turned his attention to the Hyuuga.

“Is there something special that you want to know, Sasuke-kun?” Shizune asked as she had gone over the basics of handling reports and requests.

“I would like to know more about trade regulations and the standard expectation that Konoha has against approaching nations. I need to know what we should work towards to be able to build a good and lasting relationship with Konoha and other nations. We´ll need all the allies we can get and as the Sound is a place of many natural resources like iron and other underground resources we could benefit from trading with other nations.” The Uchiha said.

“… You are well informed… that is very good Sasuke-kun. Here let me show you a few of our standard contracts for trading and this one is a list of rules for our allies to keep if and when they enter our boarders and our city.”

“You need to learn how to make the chakra heed your every call to be able to use it´s full potential, Naruto.” Neji said as he explained how the blonde could gain more control over the flow of chakra in his body by practicing Tai Chi.

“Create a sphere of pure chakra and make it follow your movements… like this.” The Hyuuga created two medium seize balls of blue chakra in his palm and made them circle up and down his bare arms as he began to move slowly as he preformed Tai Chi.

“… You said that I should only create one sphere and yet you have two, why?” The whiskered man asked curiously.

“You are still new at this, Naruto. You should take it easy in the beginning.”

“Pha… I´m Uzumaki Naruto… I don´t like to do things the easy way… besides that, I have a shit load of chakra and I still don´t know just how much. Why don´t we put it to the test?” And with that note, he summoned fifty clones. Each clone created two spheres and copied each of Neji´s moves.

Soon all the Naruto´s and the Hyuuga were shirtless as the strong heat of the sun baked down on them without mercy.

Naruto was panting hard as the moves, though relaxing, wore him out as Neji ordered him to keep the chakra spheres at the same seize at all times. He had to perform the moves with precision and graze while keeping up all the clones at the same time.

The swirling chakra spheres caressed his tanned arms as he copied Neji´s moves over and over till he could perform them perfectly with his eyes closed. Sweat trailed down his skin and made the rays of the sun feel like fire on his face and toned torso.

Neji demanded that all the clones had to move in unison; at the exact same time and he used the Byakugan to make sure that Naruto did what he was told. Not only the bodies needed to move fluidly… no the chakra had to too, which was harder than Naruto would ever had imagined. Soon he was panting hard and he felt his chakra began to run low.

“Are you feeling tired yet, Naruto-san?” Neji asked as he noticed the slightly pained look on the faces of all the blondes.

“This is… harder than… I thought,” The real Naruto moaned. His arms were starting to tremble as he used all his chakra channels to make the chakra move fluidly around not on his arms but also his sweaty torso as Neji thought that they could step things up a bit after they had trained for about an hour.

Now four hours had passed and Naruto was about to beg for a break.

“What a beautiful sight, ne Gaara?”

“Sure is, Temari-chan… Beautiful indeed.” They were watching from their hideout in the treetops next to the training grounds where the many shirtless blonde´s and the Hyuuga´s sweat covered bodies were glistering beneath the hot sun.

“Should we join them or do you want to watch some more?” She asked with a light chuckle as they watched Naruto expel all the clones and drop to the ground with a loud groan as all the information from the clones returned to him at once.

“No, we should join in. They have been at this for hours already and your boyfriend has slept long enough.” Gaara jumped of the branch with a smirk on his lips. He was going to get a piece of that firm ass to night… no matter the cost.

Sasuke was getting a hang of the paperwork in no time and the rules and regulations were already familiar to him as he had a photogenic memory.

The elders of the Sound would scholar them too so there was no need for him to study the rules of Konoha as they already knew that they would do certain things differently than Konoha… but the trade rules and the demands for allies was valuable information.

“Shizune-san… Do you know where Jiraiya is?”

“Hai, do you want me to ask him to meet you at the training grounds, Sasuke-kun?” She asked as she realized that he was going to leave. He was skilled and had more self-control and interest in these things than Tsunade. He would certainly make a good and responsible Kage, especially with Naruto at his side.

“If it´s not too much trouble and thank you for your help,” He said as he rose from the chair.

He still felt a bit uneasy with the whole ´thank you` fuss… but he also knew that he’d better get used to it as ´thank you` was as far as he would go to get anything from others, be it a Kage or anyone else. He wouldn´t beg and he wouldn´t apologize to anyone except Naruto… and even then, things had to be really f***ed up between them for him to do that.

He gave a small bow before he teleported himself directly to the same field where Naruto had fought the old pervert yesterday.

The Uchiha felt the anger rise inside of him as he saw Gaara was hugging his half naked boyfriend and had his arm around Naruto´s waist as he walked next to him as they approached the lawn. Temari was trying to wake up her lazy ass lover, who was snoring peacefully at the lawn next to the training field while Tsunade was talking to the Hyuuga.

“What is going on here? Why are you here Sabaku?” Sasuke growled as he tore Gaara away from Naruto who dropped onto the warm grass as he was too exhausted to stand.

“Only here to help, Uchiha.” The Kazekage said with a smirk.

“And what could you possibly do to help us?” The raven hissed.

“Jiraiya asked me if I would be interested in a spar. I would never decline an offer like that,” the redhead said.

“Oh I´m sorry Gaara, but Neji has trained me rather hard with this new technique he showed me and I´m not sure that I´m able to fight anymore today.” Naruto said. The muscles in his arms, chest and abdomen were killing him, and all he really wanted was to lie down next to Shikamaru and take a nap.

“I´m not here to fight you, Naruto my friend. I´m here to kick the Uchiha´s ass and get a re-match as we never had a chance to finish our little… spar back at the Chunin exam.” The Kazekage explained.

“Don´t make me laugh, Sabaku. Like you could even get close enough to even pull a single hair from my head. I´m ready whenever you are.” The Uchiha growled through gritted teeth. How dared he look at Naruto like that… and why had he hugged his Dobe for that long? Was Gaara planning on seducing his hot Kitsune?

“… Oh… Cool, I´ll look forward to see this spar. I´m sure it´ll be the fight of the year.” Naruto grinned as he made himself comfortable on the green grass next to Temari, Shikamaru and Neji.

“Maybe we should activate some kind of protective barrier around those two?” Kakashi said behind them. He, Jiraiya, Sakura and a few others had felt the powerful chakra burst from Sasuke and had rushed here to see what was going on.

“No need. Those I activated up yesterday are still on place and will keep us, the forest and Konoha safe from any misplaced attacks.” The Hokage said as she sat down next to Naruto. “Besides, we have enough courageous shinobi here who´ll interfere if things get out of hand.”
