The New Otokage

Chapter 6: Orochimaru´s end:

“How are you feeling?” the blonde looked into the Kazekage’s clouded eyes. The pleased smile on the red-heads face made the blue-eyed male smile as well.

“…Huh?” was the only answer he got from the relaxed Sand-leader. Naruto rolled onto his back next to his lover and rested his arms behind his head.

As Gaara’s breathing returned to normal, he turned his body to face the blonde.

“Oh god…I have never felt something like that before… thank you.” He wrapped his slender arms around the blonde’s neck, softly pressing his lips against Naruto´s.

“Your welcome,” the blonde grinned while embracing his inexperienced lover.

“Oh, what about you? What can I do to make you feel… um… like this” Gaara blushed at the thought of what the blonde had just done for him, would he be able to do the same just as good?

“Don’t worry about it, you don’t have to do anything… I´m fine… you should rest now, you look tired” Naruto gave the red-headed male a warm smile.

“Will you stay with me tonight?” Gaara pleaded.

“Of course I will…. I’ll stay right beside you all night.” The blonde dragged the Sand-leader closer to his steady beating heart feeling the red-head start to relax in his strong arms.

“Thank you…. No one has ever been so kind and loving to me before! Please stay with me forever…please stay!” Gaara yawned before he slowly let himself fall into a long deep sleep…. That made him sleep till dawn for the first time in his life.

Naruto looked at the peaceful sleeping face and softly played with the males red curls.
I really like you a lot Gaara-sama…. But I don’t love you like I love him and I probably never will and for that I´m so sorry…. You really deserve someone that would love you… like you obvious love me… I´m such a big asshole, Naruto told himself.

This lovely being loves me and all I think about is that bastard… and I will probably never see him again. Maybe I would be better of if I just stayed here… I could become happy here… I kinda always liked the warm climate, the sunlight and the people here…. Yeah maybe I should stay… my dream to become a Hokage is impossible now anyway because I ran away.

No one would probably miss me much anyway! Yes! I should definitely stay here with Gaara.

“What happened next?” Hinata bit her fingernails in anticipation to hear the rest of Sasuke´s tale.

Both Kakashi and Neji just stared at the slightly shaking Otokage, it seamed as even the mere memory of the battle made the raven-haired male uneasy and jumpy.

“Sasuke-kun… you need a drink!” Kakashi said as he got up form his chair to fix himself and Sasuke a stronger drink than the wine they had for dinner.

“…Che?.. Oh yes thank you, Kakashi-sensei,” his pale skin looked even paler as before.

Kakashi poured Sake to Sasuke and himself and brought some bottles along as he returned to the table. He had also brought the small china coups to the Hyuuga couple as well.

Sasuke gulped his Sake down and poured himself another one, before even speaking a word.

“… Well let’s see?.... oh yes!… Orochimaru treated to kill not only Kira-chan but also Naruto-kun… and then I snapped…”

#Flashback#

“HAAA.. HAA… HAA! Hot tempered as always eh Sasuke-kun?” Orochimaru laughed mockingly at the fuming Uchiha.

“I WILL KILL YOU!” Sasuke screamed in anger as he charged his master with clenched fists.

He aimed and threw all the kunai´s in his belt at his master. He snarled as Orochimaru easily dodged them all and hit Sasuke in the gut with his fists, pushing the younger male backwards towards the wall.
He desperately tried to defend himself from the massive punches with his arms. He had been careless, Sasuke soon realized.

Suddenly he felt a stinging pain in his arm…. Orochimaru´s poisonous fangs were buried deeply in his left arm. Sasuke was unable to get away as he was pinned to the wall by the taller man.
He would not be able to use his left arm soon as the poison would soon paralyze it, making it useless.

“Damn” he snarled, angry with himself for letting the Snake-lord come to close.

Orochimaru giggled in amusement as he let go of his student.
“You are still a weak little boy Sasuke-kun… But don’t worry.. It’ll all end as soon as I don’t need weaklings so I think that I’ll just kill you…… Perhaps the Kyuubi boy would be a more suiting body for me after the Akatsuki has removed the demon inside of him…. He’s both handsome and strong he… he,” Orochimaru suggested with a grin.

Gaara slowly opened his eyes, it was morning and the warm dessert sun fell on his naked exposed skin from the window.

He had slept through the whole night, his body was relaxed and for the first time in his life he was feeling how wonderful a good night’s sleep was.

There was no angry or annoyed feelings inside of him, his body wasn’t arching…. He really felt free and he enjoyed it with every fiber of his being.

He had not been taken over by the Shukaku and he was happy that the deal he had made with the demon still worked.

After he and the one-tailed had been reunited after the Akatsuki had extracted the raccoon-dog from his body and killed him, he had made a deal with the monster inside of him. The demon would not try to posses his body and Gaara would not have to seal him up like the Kyuubi.

Gaara slowly turned his head to look at the peaceful face of the softly snoring blonde by his side.

“Thanks to you and Chi-Baa Sama I´m still here…. Here with you,” The red-headed male’s fingers ran through the blonde’s unruly golden locks. He smiled and leaned in to kiss the soft pink lips.

“I wish you would stay with me forever…. But I know that you love someone else… even though I don’t understand why… the bastard doesn’t deserve you!”
He could hear the blonde’s breathing start to change as he woke up and felt his heartbeat quickening in anticipation to see the blonde smile at him.

“Mmmmh… Good morning” the blonde yawned as he stretched his arms over his head.

“Good morning Naruto-kun,” Gaara’s face lit up as the younger blonde embraced him in his strong arms and gave him a soft kiss on the mouth.

He felt the blonde’s tongue trailing his lips, asking permission to enter his hot mouth. Gaara parted his lips and made his tongue collide with Naruto´s, tasting him.

“Mmmmm,” Gaara moaned into the kiss as he felt his body react to their heated kisses.

“I want you,” the blonde whispered passionate into the red curls as he turned his demanding tongue to Gaara’s neck, finding the sensitive spot beneath the ear and licked and sucked at it.

Gaara could only nod as the blonde continued to caress his skin with his mouth and tongue. He pressed his naked body against the blondes, letting Naruto know that he too longed for more psychical contact.

“I want you… to go… the whole way… Naruto-kun” He whispered with a ragged voice as he felt tanned fingers grab his throbbing erection.

“Are you sure?” Gaara could tell that the blonde had to restrain himself from keeping on going.

He’s so loving and patient with me… he really cares for me, Gaara realized with a happy smile.
“Yes… I really want to be yours.” Naruto gave him a warm and passionate smile at the red-heads panting words.

“Thank you…. We’ll take it slow… just tell me what you like and don’t” He whispered sensually into the Kazekage’s ear.

“You are still a weak little boy Sasuke-kun… But don’t worry... It’ll all end as soon as I don’t need weaklings so I think that I’ll just kill you…… Perhaps the Kyuubi boy would be a more suiting body for me after the Akatsuki has removed the demon inside of him…. He’s both handsome and strong he… he,” Orochimaru suggested with a grin.

He felt the anger inside of him rising and the cursed mark on his neck reacted by pumping his body full with dark chakra. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth to be able to withstand the pain welling up inside his pale frame.

“I’ll never let you come near Naruto…. He’s mine!” Sasuke growled with a deep voice filled as he felt his body change into his other form…. His cursed form. His clothes tore apart to allow the hand-like wings to grow and spread, his skin turned dark and his hair gray.

He felt the power run through his veins, and soon his transformation was complete.
He and Kira had trained in secrecy as often as the could, their goal; to become stronger than everyone expected them to be, to let their enemies underestimate them.

“You are to possessive and obsessive with that blonde boy…. You always where. He’s a hinder to you; you’ll never be able to obtain you full potential if you keep on gagging after that brat all the time. I though my little present would be able to help you get over you weakness for him.”

“You’ll never understand, Orochimaru. Naruto is the reason I keep on living, he’s my beacon of light in the darkness, my hope and dreams. He accepts me the way I am and no matter how often I screw up…. He’ll still be there!”

“You really are gay then?” Orochimaru hissed while looking at the raven-haired male in disgust.

“Does it really matter? The only reason I told you this is that you’ll be dead in 5 minutes anyway and wont be able to hurt anyone ever again.”

He raised the level of his chakra, concentrating it in one final attack. He drew his katana and channeled all his remaining chakra into a Chidori and charged it into the sword.

“Orochimaru never got the opportunity to create a counter attack as Sasuke-sama sliced him in half with his lightning sword attack!” the blonde girl enthusiastic told the guests from Konoha-Gakure who stared from Kira to the silent Otokage.

“Sliced him in half?” Neji asked as he stared at Sasuke. Is he really that strong? He thought and felt a light shiver running over his skin from anticipation. I would like to have a training match with him.

Kakashi crossed his arms over his chest “And then you decided to become the leader of the Sound then Sasuke-kun?”

“No” Sasuke looked at his former sensei with a small frown. “As we were to leave the room after killing Orochimaru and Kabuto, we ran into some Sound shinobi who had heard the sound of battle.
They asked me to take Orochimaru´s place and lead the Sound to a better future. After all I’d just proved that I was the strongest fighter here!” The Uchiha shifted positions in his chair and continued.

“I had nowhere else to go as this has long ago become my home….. And after thinking it over and consulting with someone close to me I decided I could make a better Kage that Orochimaru ever was!”

“Yare, yare…. Well... I think you’re right Sasuke-kun, I´m sure you’ll make a good Kage… always knew that you’ve had it in you.” Kakashi said with a accepting nod. “I´m glad that you were honest with us…. And I think we should be honest with you as well.”

“Huh? What do you talk about Kakashi-sensei?” Sasuke leaned forward with anger in his voice. “When were you lying to me?”

“Easy! Sasuke-kun, we’re not lying!” Hinata said with a slightly insecure tone.

Kakashi refilled his cup with sake. “She’s right… We never lied to you…. We just didn’t tell you the whole truth!!”

“Tell me how you’d prefer me? On top or below?” the blonde purred into curly red treads. Licking and biting the soft skin under the Kazekage’s ear.

“Ah…. Naruto-kun…. I want…. “He couldn’t go on as the blonde had trailed down to lick and bite down on Gaara’s erected pink nipples causing the Sand-leader to cry out at the delightful pain.

“Did you say something?” the blonde grinned as he continued to caress and tease the arching skin of his lover.

“I want you to be my first” Gaara panted, burying his fingers in Naruto´s long soft blonde hair.

“First what?” the blonde teased with fake innocence before smirking.

“Don´t tease me Baka… I´m new at this and I´m still a bit shy!” Gaara muttered as his cheeks blushed with a lively color of red.

“Sorry… but I like to tease, it just like when I used to…Eh… never mind,” he muttered as he stopped himself from finishing the sentence.

He had almost said …. Like I used to tease Sasuke into a fight. This wasn’t fair… not to Gaara and not to himself. No matter how hard I try… even now in this heated situation with someone who really wants me…… I can’t stop thinking about that teme. The mood was ruined and he leaned down to kiss Gaara on his lips.

“Sorry I ruined it Gaara!” Naruto whispered sadly as he rolled over to lie beside the red-head.

Gaara just stared at the ceiling, his eyes filled with sadness.

“You don’t love me…. Do you, Naruto-kun?” there was a quiver in his voice that Gaara had not felt in many year.

“That’s not true Gaara… I do love you… I really do… It´s just… It´s complicated...”

The red-head rolled on his side to look into sad blue eyes, Gaara felt a stinging pain in his heart.
“You really care about me…. You just love HIM more than me!” He felt Naruto´s arms around his waist, dragging him closer in his warm embrace.

“I´m sorry…. I really am…. I tried to forget him… but these feelings inside of me are just…. To strong… you deserve to be happy… I really whish I could be what you want me to be.” Tears streamed down the whiskered cheeks as he closed his blue eyes and leaned onto Gaara’s shoulder.

Gaara hugged the trembling blonde close to his breaking heart with a sign.
“It´s ok, you should follow your heart and become happy… if you do… I’ll be happy to!”

“What do you mean Kakashi-sensei…? What are you hiding from me?” Sasuke was on his feet before either one of them could even lift a finger. He moved faster than their eyes could see and was suddenly standing next to Kakashi chair, the collar of his sensei’s shirt in a firm grip.

“Sasuke-sama!” The blonde woman was at his side to try to calm him down, preventing him from starting a fight with his former sensei.

Kakashi looked up at Sasuke with his usual lazy look in his visible eye.
“If you let me go and return to your chair, I’ll tell you…. Tsunade-sama has a lead from a reliable source!”

“What? Why haven’t we heard about that?” Neji´s clenched fist collided with the table with a loud BANG!

Sasuke shifted his gaze from Kakashi to Neji and back again before slowly letting go of his sensei.

“Classified information!” Kakashi mumbled and leaned back at the wooden chair.

“Che!” The Otokage hissed, returning to his seat and took another drink. This day was getting stranger by the minute.

First he signed a treaty of peace with the other hidden villages, then he invited Hinata, Neji and Kakashi to dinner, got some disturbing news on the Dobe before spilling his gut about how he killed Orochimaru and now this. What else would there be?

“Like I said… Lady Tsunade got some classified information just before we left Konoha….. It was from the Sand. An old acquaintance of Tsunade thought he saw someone that fit the description of our lost blonde friend… she has sent Kiba to fetch him….”

“What? No, I’ll go look for him myself!” Sasuke rose to his feet and walked towards the door.

“Oi Sasuke-kun! I’d stay here if I were you?”

“And why is that Neji?” he growled.

“The Anbu! The wont let you go…. You are the Otokage and if you leave this city now… it’ll be like declaring war with the other nations.”
