Permission To Seek

Chapter 44 Changing Tide

Halfway down the hall he glanced out some of the long windows taking in the view of the Hidden Leaf, considering how much every person has come to mean. There were times when he welcomed Sasuke’s death; today he did many things to prevent that event. He never told Sasuke the reason he tried to save his life, there where many that kept him up at night. The primary reason is that it is his duty to protect everyone. No mater what past deeds they committed he would ever turn his back on a comrade.

“It has been a long time since you have been this melancholy, what is the reason?”

‘Not now Kikai I need to think.’ Raising a hand, they began to enter his body with a silent smirk.

Naruto came around the corner, “Hey why didn’t you wait? That jerk, he shouldn’t have spoke to you like that.” The blue eyes blazed still in anger over the incident, but then softened as he noticed the way Shino stared at him.

“I am glad you could retaliate for that incident Uzumaki. It is wonderful to see you again.” Finding it difficult to remember why he wanted to see the Fifth, the longer he stared into the sapphire eyes. “I wonder if you would join me tonight at the Waterfall.” He lifted his head slightly to offer the blond ninja his warm smile.

Naruto blushed; shortly as his complexion cleared, he stared at the dark frames seeing his own image. ‘I really don’t want to go back there today.’ “Well I … uhmm..” He scratched the back of his head, trying to think what to say.

“I would like to show you another place if you will join me.” Shino offered his voice thick with a seductive tremble. ‘Why is he hesitant?’ “I believe you will be amazed by this location.” Shino intended to get as close to the smaller ninja as he could, hoping to rebuild their relationship.

Naruto shifted wondering if the prospect of meeting his former teammate alone was a good idea. ‘I do not know if I want things the way they were before. What if it comes out again?’ “Why not just come by my place I would like to talk to you about some things.” The smile faded slowly from the Chuunin’s face as Naruto fell in step with him heading toward the Fifth’s office.

Keeping his gaze forward wondering what important step he missed that Naruto did not want to be alone with him in their place. Shino felt an all too familiar pain slowly growing into a throb deep inside a closed chamber of his heart. Thinking bitterly history is often doomed to repeat itself, until it accepts that change is inevitable. He clenched his jaw as Naruto began to speak.

“You have gotten big, well a lot bigger; I thought for sure I would catch up to you. What have you been up to?” he grinned putting his hands behind his head as he walked.

“There are many things I have done over the last three years, beside miss you Naruto.” He smiled at the blue-eye ninja who blushed again looking guilty. “It is ok I understand that leaving was in your best interest to assist in your training. After I returned from the Feudal Lord, I trained under Morino.” Their friendship had grown over the past months into Shino admiring the dangerous squad leader as more than a teacher. He regarded him above most other Jonin in the Leaf.

“He’s with ANBU right?” Naruto blanch at the mention of the name.

“Yes.” Shino said fondly. He looked out the window toward the Jonin’s station in south Konoha. “He is a squad leader for the interrogation part. He is an elite ninja, master of battle strategies and defense; and an extremely dangerous man, but he has changed lately maybe you could help?”

Naruto felt surprised, he was not very familiar with the notorious Morino. “What can I do, what’s happen to him that you think he’s changed?”

The dark shades turned back to the small hero. Shino felt if anyone could encourage the moody man that there is still hope in finding Kimimaro alive. It is definitely Uzumaki; there would be no ignoring his noisy demeanor. Shino smirked at the many angry explosions of the blue eyed ninja and how he’d come to enjoy debating things with him as much as when they agreed.

“Naruto since we both left the Hidden Leaf Kimimaro has gone missing.”

Naruto gasped, “What!?, Kimimaro-san is gone? Where, how who’s looking for him?!” His eyes wide in disbelief, his heart racing back to how the man cared for him on the darkest day of his life.

The bug lord stop walking a short distance from the Fifth’s office considering where to begin to update his golden-haired comrade. He leaned on the window over looking the market district in the distance and beyond that the green trees of the forest. “Morino has searched for Kimi over the past three years, I only joined him this year thus far the information we received has led to a myriad dead ends. If that was not the case, we would arrive too late to find new information on the Shinobi.”

“There must be something, anything?” He questioned his determined eyes locked on the dark hood obscuring Shino’s face.

The dark frames turned to him, wondering how Naruto would react to this new information. The link that put the changes in his Sensei, and now encouraged him to seek Naruto’s assistance. “We have confirmation that Kimimaro’s body was dumped in the ocean.” Naruto gasped then looked down at the floor, his face flushing. “Yes we encountered two rouge ninja; who happen to be defectors from Orochimaru’s camp; he confirmed a notorious ninja by the name Jugo dumped Kimimaro’s remains in the ocean.”

Naruto finally looked out the window, unseeing his heart heavy with this sad news. He did not want to accept that the man was dead; Kimi had done so much for him, more than heal his wounds. He helped him accept the circumstances meeting him on his level sharing how he had endured the same ordeal. He opened his heart to him and in a way, it made him feel strong enough to believe he too would grow from the experience and be stronger than can be measured. Gripping his hands in fist, he voiced the question Shino had waited to hear.

“When are we leaving to verify this information for ourselves? I don’t believe something like that would kill Kimimaro, he has too much to live for, besides I would like a chance to face the man, there’s no way I will believe that he is dead.” Naruto glared at Shino, his blond-brows knitted together.

Shino smiled, ‘he really has not changed but then again everything is different.’ “If possible I will take you to see him tomorrow, for now I need to speak with Hokage-sama. She would want to know you are back as well.” He added as Naruto stood his ground while Shino turned to enter the office.

Naruto nodded, still worried about Kimi and what he and this big ninja would discuss at his home.

*Learn your place*

His head hurt, it felt like someone was standing on it as he forced open his eyes. The rooms white and clinical, with that familiar medicinal smell filling his nostrils. ‘Dam.’ Sasuke turned his gaze to the window the ledge bare of cards or flowers, ‘That’s right, who would give me anything.’ The bitter thought washing over him as he considered his dead family and people of the Uchiha Clan. ‘Everyone is dead, so there is no happy greetings for you Sasuke-kun.’ He clenched his jaw, regretting he woke now he remembered the fight, how Naruto had made a fool out of him. ‘That dropout.’ He fumed until a voice broke into his dark thoughts of what he would like to do to the yellow haired ninja.

“I told you to be cordial, if you meet him.” Genma intoned, swirling the Senbon in his mouth.

Sasuke eyes flashed on him in an instant, his face twisted in pain and rage. The pain he did not want to show so he decided to glare at the Jonin with intent to kill, in an attempt to put the passive voice in its place. “Why are you here? Beat it; I’m too tired to listen to your bull.”

Genma tapped the Senbon against his teeth as he stared at the teen wondering how far should he go. “Well you will listen; I have been too easy on you this is how someone used your own trick against you.” Sasuke rolled his eyes and looked back out the window; however, the next second his complete view blocked as the usually docile face loomed over him dark anger in his eyes.

“I will not take your shit anymore Sasuke-kun.” The two ninja glared with death wishes in their eyes, Sasuke feeling unnerved by the leering Jonin, wanted to tell him to back off but anger kept his mouth clenched tight.

“See, Sasuke-kun not hard to control your actions under the right circumstances.” Genma leaned back to stand placing his hands in his pockets still glaring at Sasuke, “I will break you.” He said darkly.

“What are you talking about?” Trying to activate his Sharingan but finding it difficult, he could feel the pain medications flowing in system, they were affecting his Jutsu; he settled for clenching his hands in fist ready to deliver an attack.

The light brown eyes moved slowly over his face flicking at the fist. The Senbon twirled in his mouth as he tapped is against his teeth. “You are a genius after all; you should have grown more than I have seen. I believe it is because you look at your comrades as obstacles that you must over come; you waste too much time on that pointless issue. It does not matter if you are greater than anyone in the Hidden Leaf; they are not your enemy.”

Gritting his teeth Sasuke spat “What do you know about how I feel?! I need to kill Itachi! If I can’t defeat these wimps then I have no chance of accomplishing that goal!” He breathed hard still trying to call on his Jutsu and calm his anger.

‘Blockhead.’ The Senbon swooped inside his mouth unseen he leaned back over Sasuke, his eyes showing more dark intent. The teen did not wait to see why the Jonin would come in so close he swung a fist up to hit the man, which the Jonin caught effortlessly and then the other just as quickly.

The Senbon reappeared as their noses and eyes locked together a silent struggle for dominance. Sasuke forced back into the stiff hospital pillow, the Jonin leering over him with the four inch Senbon nearly touching the Raven’s nose.

“When I said break I meant you will learn your place with me and your place here in the Leaf. By the way Sasuke-kun, even if you could defeat every person in the Leaf it does not guarantee you will be able to overcome your brother.” Genma spoke darkly, choosing to keep the twitching teen ignorant of the other things he has in store for him, much more pleasurable things. Drawn into those flaming black eyes, he inched closer. “You will learn the words *yes* and *sir*, and their true meaning.” A half smile inched on one corner of his full lips as he twirled the Senbon between his lips, then pulled it completely in his mouth getting closer to Sasuke’s face.

‘WTF! Is everybody in this village a pervert?’ “Back off!” he growled, when Genma was a few inches away. Sasuke then began to twitch violently as the Jonin increased the pressure on his clenched fist, just below breaking point.

“Too late to stop now.” He breathed, as he pressed a forceful and painful kiss on the Raven. Not so much a kiss, because Sasuke clamped his teeth and mouth closed; but that did not seem to bother the Jonin, he pushed harder causing the teens lips to ache from the pressure against his own teeth. Genma’s lips smacking and sucking at the outside of his mouth, while both kept their deadly glare on each other. Moving back a few inches, “You will submit to me.”

“Fuck I will, fucking pervert!” The raven hissed which quickly turned into a pained gag, his hands slowly crushed by the ginning man over him. Sasuke squinted trying not to yell out, not wanting to give him the pervert the satisfaction that he had reduced him to needing someone to help.

“See we need to work on your people skills.” The dark eyes turned on him, evident pain in his glare. Genma closed in on the gasping mouth this time it remained open as he squeezed the teen’s fist harder. The older ninja flicked his tongue into Sasuke’s angry and unresponsive mouth.

To Sasuke it felt like an eternity that this man was forcing his mouth on him, the pain in his hands peeking, he moaned in a suppressed manner, and then blushed violently at the erotic sound. Genma pulled up at last, in truth their kiss lasting only a few seconds, the Jonin not confident that Sasuke would not throw caution to the wind and launch an attack. Even though he believed the attack would be futile, nonetheless he would need to take the Uchiha serious if he took the offensive.

The hazel eyes raked over Sasuke once more drinking in every angle, of the pale beauty. “That was a very naughty sound you just made, and the blush confirms how much you enjoyed my delicate kiss.” Genma said in his flat and emotionless, tone reveling none of the dark lust flaming in his gaze. “You did enjoy that correct?” He increased the pressure on the fisted hands.

Sasuke clenched his teeth halting an insult his eyes watered from the pain. “Yes.” He spat hoarsely the larger hands lessened their grip. The Jonin moved to stand straight, the Senbon erupting from his talented mouth.

Genma stared, this not being the encounter he envisioned, but he has a temper and Sasuke has become too familiar with knowing how to aggravate him the most. “See you are learning.” He released him completely, staring at the teen’s angry demeanor.

“That will keep you out of trouble for a few days. In the mean time we will train those eyes until you understand their true nature and can bring forth its full power.” Genma step away from the bed his hands going back in his pockets as he stared out the window, deep in his own thoughts.

“Is that all you want from me, I am no one’s Uke.” Sasuke hissed, flexing his aching hands. ‘I swear you will pay for doing that to me!’

Genma stared at the air a single dark bird flying high, he sucked his teeth. If he enjoyed anything being in the presence of Sasuke was it. He turned to face that angry glare. “Sasuke you got a couple days recovery before they let you out, soon as that happens I need to see you; do you understand? Do not make me come looking for you, or I will be sure to make you regret it.” The brown eyes traced over his face again, the man walking casually to the door; before he opened it, he addressed the raven again not bothering to turn to face him. “By the way Sasuke-kun, with me you will be Uke.” He left the room with the dark eyes glaring after him.

‘I really hate this fucking village.’ The dark conclusion playing repeatedly in his mind, later the nurse came in offering him something for pain. He accepted as much as she would allow, deciding it was time to leave the Hidden Leaf forever.

*To please my lover*

Pressing harder into the tender flesh, he bit down slightly harder than a passionate kiss would require. The pale olive skin tingling in his mouth his lover panting and gasping his name, Gaara rose up between Neji’s legs; the legs spread wide open for him. The inside of the Jonin’s thighs covered in small crescent marks from the firm kisses. The aqua eyes swept over the beauty of the Hyuga, drinking in every inch of the man. Gaara is a careful analyzer; he made note of just what action prompted the greatest responses from his lover Neji an endless wonder to him.

Neji shut is white eyes, staring at the mirror above the bed felt toxic to him as Gaara pushed him so close to eruption only to bring him down from the edge. The warm breath caressing his face caused his eyes to flash open, the dark outlined eyes gazing at him lovingly. “Gaara-sama, you are..” his words captured as the red head claimed his mouth, tenderly at first; then pressing in demanding greater passion from the brunette. Forcing his tongue in as he sucked hungrily, his eyes locked on the white eyes beneath him. Neji felt fingers stroking his entrance; Gaara’s forearm brushing the inside of his thigh as it turned over slowly slipping the lubricated digit into the tight warmth. Neji gasped in his lover’s mouth, Gaara pulled away the moisture from their deep kiss clings to each lip as he hovered over his moon-bright eyes, overwhelmed with need.

“Is this good, my love?” Gaara voice soothed his finger not moving deeper.

Neji nodded; wanting more, he lifted his hips hissing out in relief as the long finger eased deeper. “Oh Gaara yessssss!” His body arching up from the bed, until a firm hand pushed him back down as he planted slow kisses down Neji’s body retracing every tender crescent nipping at the flesh; beginning to understand, Gaara’s eyes locked on the desperation of his lover.

He smiled, genuinely feeling his heart rate increase. His left hand probing painfully slow into his lover as his right moved off the hips to squeeze tightly at Neji’s inner thigh causing more moans of ecstasy to issue from the tender lips. Gaara twisting his hand allowing that single finger to probe deeper, he added second the third quickly following as Neji’s body pulled him in opening for more. ‘Amazing.’ His own passion growing as he turned the three fingers in his lover slowly until they tap their goal.

“AAaaahh!” Neji’s hips bucked up on his lover’s probing fingers, his cock began to twitch, pre cum running down the sides in shiny rivers. Gaara closed his mouth over the sizable length, taking him completely to the back of his throat as he moved his fingers away from the sensitive prostrate. Despite his lover begging for more, his greasy digits continued to dance just below that most pleasurable area.

Gaara pulled the hot cock out swallowing the sweet and salty juices covering his tongue, now paying close service to the reddened head, sucking hard on the cock making popping noises as he pulled up off the thick meat. Neji’s eyes wide his head lifted off the bed staring at the unbelievable oral stimulus Gaara provided. He was not sure how to put in words what he wanted, but it seemed every time he needed more his lover provided without him uttering a word. Opening his mouth wide as he slippery fingers eased deeper, he pushed the twitching cock in his open mouth allowing his teeth to graze over the top and bottom of his shaft, while the long fingers dived firmly at his quaking prostrate.

“Aahha!” Neji collapsed back on the bed unable to close he eyes or turn them away from the beautiful site of their bodies in the overhead mirror. The pain and pleasure surrounding him in a blissful glove his climax rising faster than he wanted; but Gaara didn’t stop the delightful demand on his body as his free hand rose to pinch firmly on a pert nipple. Neji felt the wave hit him shoving and pulling the release out of him with intense force and demand. Gaara’s mouth sucked powerfully on his raw tool, as pools of fluid erupted from the head, making the white-eyed ninja feel powerless and spent.

Finally, Gaara raised his head staring at the astonished look on his lovers face; he stared blankly as the beautiful white eyes shifted on him glassy and out of focus. “Turn over Neji.” Gaara commanded keeping his fingers buried in the warm glove as the man eased himself over and up on all fours. Gaara lined himself up behind the olive skin, then slipped his fingers out, stroking his rigid cock with more of the lubricant, as he pushed the head on the entrance. Pausing only to inch closer, he grabbed Neji’s shoulder to hold him in place as he pushed inside not stopping as the tightness increased or when the dark hair ninja moaned. The plunge ended as Neji’s firm ass pressed against his pelvis.

Gaara gasped, the feeling more intense than he imagined. He withdrew slowly becoming intoxicated with the moans issuing from the man beneath him. Neji whimpering and groaning in pain a pleasure, Gaara’s thrust picking up speed as he pulled Neji’s hips back gripping the ninja’s shoulder, as he pushed his cock into him with greater and greater force. Neji went into incoherent mumbles; Gaara reached beneath him gripping the rigid cock beginning to stroke it firmly in a tight fist; his hips driving into Neji with as much force as he could manage.

Tears stung Neji’s eyes, as he felt his second climax approaching, despite his effort to keep it at bay. He had always been the type to control this bodily function, but now Gaara was using him pulling from him what he wanted and on his hands and knees, it felt too familiar to that dark time in his life. Gaara had said no kind words after his first eruption just commanded he get into position now his body responded to what his heart cursed. Anguish growing at the thoughts tormenting his mind, considering himself worthless since he has allowed himself to become a thing an outlet for someone else’s desire. ‘This isn’t who I am anymore.’ The desperate thought washed away as a very different voice whispered in his ear.

“I now understand the feeling love, my love.” Neji’s body contracted his ejaculation spraying the bedding as Gaara’s hand on his shoulder gripped painfully tight the grip on his erection clenched wonderfully on his blossoming eruption. He felt the distinct heat of the red head’s climax entering his body Gaara hissing and moaning above him, before leaning heavily across his back.

Neji held his position unable to move his body still locked in the post-climax haze, and then his lover moved to the bed, gazing in his face with those loving eyes. Neji wondered where those eyes were a few minutes ago, as the red head reached up to gently caress his cheek. His touch soft and loving, “Neji-sama, you are amazing, that experience was very enjoyable. I am proud I will become your Aisaika (devoted husband)” he pulled the stunned Hyuga in his arms, their sweaty bodies sticking together, neither seemed to mind as their mouths danced on top of each other, deep in a passionate kiss. When he lifted his mouth off the pink lips, the white-eyes stared lovingly into the aqua, a hint of a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

“I will be proud as well, to be you Aisaika (devoted husband)” Somehow he had misunderstood what his lover was doing to him, how could he allow the thought that this man would ever treat him with cruelty to enter his heart.

“What is it Neji-sama, please tell me I did not hurt you.” The soft hand swept under his eye brushing away sweat and tears.

“How?” Neji choked out, and then swallowed a lump in his throat looking away from the man who came to mean the world to him.

Wrapping his arms tighter around the dark haired-ninja, Gaara eased Neji’s face to look at him as he began to speak to his heart. “I just watched you my love to see what desires you crave. I want to fulfill all your needs there is no need to hide the pleasures you seek. I will find them in the end, and exploit them until our hearts are content.” He smiled lightly as Neji placed soft kisses around his face. “It is what you wanted, I am correct?”

Swallowing the exuberant joy flowing through him he kissed his future husband breathing in his mouth, “Yes.”

“Neji-sama can we get cleaned up? This is not the way I want to sleep, and I’m hungry.” He nibbled at the Jonin’s neck as he nuzzled in closer.

“I will satisfy all your needs, first to the sauna.” He took his lovers hand walking him to the hot tub, feeling happier then ever before in his life.
