Chapter Twenty Two

The next day, Naruto and Sasuke, along with the twins were standing outside the Hokage’s office. The twins were excited about seeing their ‘grandmother’. Naruto gulped as he thought of what the women was going to say when she found out what he had done. Not intentionally, but she would still probably beat the shit out of him.

The door opened and the twins rushed in, squealing, well Amaya squealed. Kanaye just had a small smile on his face. They both jumped on the desk and cuddled up to the Hokage. The woman smiled at her grandchildren, and hugged them both to her chest.

She then looked up at the parents, and narrowed her eyes. She could read Naruto better than anyone, apart from Sasuke that is. So she knew something was wrong. Calling to the guard at the door, who happened to be Ino, the younger blonde woman smiled at the two men and grinned at the twins.

“Ino, can you take the twins outside and keep them occupied.”

Ino nodded and motioned for the twins to follow her, which they did. The loved their auntie Ino. When they were alone, Sasuke pushed Naruto down into a chair and he took the other. The Hokage raised an eyebrow.

Naruto looked away, unable to meet her eyes. Sasuke sighed. “Last night, Naruto died.” Naruto winced at the Hokage’s shriek. He remained silent as Sasuke explained what happened. He then had to endure her hitting him around the head. He looked pleadingly at his lover, who just glared at him.

“What the hell were you thinking, you stupid idiot?” She hissed. She took a deep breath and sat back down. “Well, your now back to being the crimson angel. The council, especially Hiashi is going to love that. You might as well drop the henge, everyone will have to get used to you, especially your children.”

Naruto just nodded and released the henge. He ran a hand through his red hair. “What now?” He asked.

“Well, your now obviously in service of that angel.” She paused as they nodded. She bit her lip. “You will have to take assignments from the angel, but I will still need you both in my service as ninja’s.” She paused again as they nodded. “And of course you still have to raise your children. And…the council will probably want to speak with you.”

Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other and frowned. “Shit.” Naruto whispered. Sasuke smiled. He too was not looking forward to that. “Well, at least he can’t bully us. Kuro won’t stand for it.” He smirked, and Sasuke just nodded.

“Well, you might as well leave and let the villagers know your back.” She smiled at the expression on Naruto’s face.

“Okay, I want ramen.” Naruto announced. “I’ll take Amaya to lunch.” He said standing up. Sasuke just followed and knew he would be taking Kanaye out for sushi, his son was as addicted to that stuff as much as Naruto and Amaya was too ramen.

An hour later they were back home. The twins seemed to be fine with his new look. They were more than excited with their wings, even the quiet Kanaye was in awe. “Da da, take me for a fly.” Amaya jumped up and down, Naruto smiled. The twins had gotten used to calling him Da da, and Sasuke daddy.

“Daddy, I want you to take me for a fly too.” Kanaye turned on Sasuke. The two men looked at each other before smiling. Taking their children by the hand, they left the house.

Making sure no one was around, they shrugged. It didn’t matter if there was. The Hokage said the villagers would have to get used to seeing them. The twins squealed in delight as they withdrew their wings.

Amaya hopped onto Naruto’s back, while Kanaye hopped on Sasuke’s. “Okay, hold on tight.” Naruto warned. They took to the air, relishing the feeling and bringing back memories. Making sure the twins were holding on tight, they began to fly through the air, smiling as the twins squealed.

--

The villagers gasped at the sight of the crimson angel, along with an angel with black wings. Some smiled as they heard the Uchiha twins squealing, but they frowned. They all knew Naruto had been the crimson angel, did that mean he was once again. They made their way to the Hokage tower, wanting answers.

The Hokage herself was in her office, looking out the window. She too could hear the twins shouting out their excitement. When she looked down, she groaned as she. Moments later, the door opened and a guard walked in. She held up her hand.

“Tell them to gather this evening for an explanation. 6pm.” The guard nodded and left. She herself summoned the other guard and ordered for him to summon the council for a meeting.

Pinching the bridge of her nose, she sighed. This was going to be annoying.

--

When the council was assembled she entered the room, and took her seat. She could already see the smug look on Hiashi’s face. The others were surprised, but they too looked happy. She kept her face expressionless. She knew all they cared about was having Naruto in the village, so there village would be the most powerful.

She told them about what happened and to her surprise, they looked shocked. But that soon changed. Hiashi, once again looking smug said. “Well, with their new found powers, we will be able to accomplish anything we want.”

“I don’t think so. The angels won’t allow them to use their powers for us. They are now in their service, unless you wish to wish to be paid a visit by Kuro again.” She hid a smirk as the long haired mans face paled. “Anyway, I have called the villagers to be assembled and I will tell them of the situation.” She stood and left the room.

Naruto and Sasuke, with the twins stood on the podium with the Hokage. Naruto stepped as far back as possible. He hated this. The Hokage was telling the villagers what had happened to him. He kind of felt stupid, how he had fallen to his death. The villagers seemed okay with the fact that Naruto was back to being the crimson angel.

Before the villagers had stopped with the glares and name calling, ever since he had saved them, they had treated him differently. And now it didn’t seem to make any difference. He sent out his senses and sensed the guilt that was still within the people of the village. But he could feel their happiness that they now had someone, well two someone’s that were powerful.

He bit his lip, and unconsciously reached out his hand. Sasuke saw Naruto’s distress, and when his lover reached out his hand, he reached out his own. Grabbing hold of Naruto’s hand, he felt Naruto’s hand shake. He could feel the red heads feelings, how he felt about the villagers, how he knew the villagers were more than happy to use them for their own purposes. And he was not looking forwards to the meeting with the council.

The twins looked at their Da da, they could feel his distress. Both children wrapped their arms around his legs. Naruto smiled down at them. He felt the need to be away from the village. Like before when Sasuke left him, he did not want to return to the village, now he wanted to flee. How easy it would be to grab his kids and fly away. Sasuke gripped his hand tighter. “Calm down.” He whispered.

Naruto tried to smile, but just nodded. The Hokage dismissed the villagers, and turned. “Go home. We have to meet the council tomorrow afternoon. So I will see you then. Bye kids.”

“Bye gran.” They called after her.

Sasuke tugged on his dobe’s hand and they walked home. Sasuke looked at his dobe, he would have to keep a close eye on him. He too felt the overwhelming urge to get away from the village, but they would stay, they had too. The twins would be starting at the academy in a couple of years.

When they reached home, Naruto went into the kitchen and started dinner. He took out some ramen for him and Amaya and he took out some fish and rice for Sasuke and Kanaye. While the kids were watching TV, Sasuke walked into the kitchen and stood watching as Naruto cooked. Crossing the kitchen, he stood behind his dobe. He wrapped his arms around the smaller mans waist. Naruto leant into his lover’s chest and sighed. Sasuke bit his lip. He still had the ring in his pocket, but he didn’t think it was a very good time. Maybe after the meeting with the council, he could get someone to baby-sit the twins, and then take his dobe out to dinner, where he would propose.

“Teme, you’re going to have to let me go. I have to make dinner.” He was snapped out of his thoughts. Letting go reluctantly, he started to lay the table. He smiled at his lover, watching his tight ass as he moved. Sasuke licked his lips, wanting more than anything to push Naruto over the table and fuck his brains out. But the twins were in the next room.

Naruto smirked, he could feel Sasuke’s feelings, and how aroused his lover was. Walking over to the fridge, he opened the door and bent over. Sasuke growled at him, Naruto just laughed. “Go and sit with the twins, dinner will be soon.”

--

Once again Naruto was feeling distressed. He and Sasuke were standing outside the council’s chambers, waiting to be called. All he wanted to do was run away. The door opened and the open window was looking very tempting to Naruto, but he was suddenly pulled into the dreaded room. He shuddered as he saw the council members sat at the long table.

The two sat down and waited. The Hokage looked and them and smiled. She looked over at the head council member, which happened to be Hiashi. The long haired man smirked. “Well, we have one question. Who has your allegiance, us or the angels?”

Naruto sighed. “I guess both. We are now in service of the angels. If you can’t handle that, we could always leave.”

“No, that’s not what I meant. I was only asking. I wanted to know if the angels asked you to destroy the village, would you?”

Naruto looked over at Sasuke. He knew his lover was close to losing his temper. “Well, if we were asked to destroy the village, then that would be mean you had done something bad enough to be destroyed.”

Hiashi nodded, he understood that. “What I want to know now is can you use your powers for your ninja missions?” His eyes held hope, thinking of how much power he could have at his fingertips.

“No, we cannot use our powers for ninja missions, we use our powers as we see fit. Not for your personal gain.”

Hiashi glared, but the Hokage held up her hand. “Will you be remaining in the village?” She looked closely at Naruto, and could tell the young man wanted to leave, which made her heart thump against her chest. She didn’t want to lose him again.

“Yes, we will be remaining in the village. The twins will be starting at the academy in two years, and they have friends here, I don’t want to take that away from them.” Naruto said, even though deep down, he would give anything go back to the deserted village. Once again, he wondered if they had made the right choice in coming back to Konoha.

He was still scared about whether Sasuke would end up hating him. He knew how much the teme loved living in that village. As if reading his thoughts, Sasuke reached over and took his hand. The Hokage smiled, she loved seeing the display of affections from the two teens.

“You can go now.” She watched as they walked out. Turning back to the council, she once again saw the glint in Hiashi’s eyes. She held back a growl. She knew the man only cared about Naruto as the crimson angel and not as Naruto himself.

She got up and left the office. She wanted a glass of sake.

--

Sasuke led his dobe back to the house. He had everything planned out. The twins were staying with friends tonight. He had booked a table at Ichiraku’s, not very romantic, but Naruto loved it there. He would then take his dobe to team 7’s old training ground where he would propose.

He gulped, he was rather nervous. What would he do if Naruto said no? Running a hand through his hair, he tried to calm his nerves. Tonight he would know whether Naruto would be his husband.
