Permission To Seek

Chapter 63 A NIGHT TO REMEMBER

Tsunade yelled shoving the broken desk out of her way. “Is everyone alright?” She immediately dropped on one knee next to the Elders.

“Utatane?” Mitokado eased a hand on the elderly women’s back she remained motionless. “Utatane! Pull yourself together!” He snapped now shaking her shoulder.

“Move.” Tsunade commanded carefully turning the old women on her back. She could not find any signs of injury, yet she appeared unconscious. “She will be fine maybe to much excitement at her age.” Although the Fifth did not believe her own words, she knew the old broad is nearly as tough as she is, and that little breeze should not have knocked her out.

The Hermit addressed her, from the other side of the office getting gingerly to his feet. His complexion waxy and pale, as if he over extended his chakra, since the swarm blinded everything from view she did not notice the sudden assault on her friend.

“Tsunade that boy just made a mortal enemy.” He heaved himself against the window peering out into the night breathless.

“You are in no condition to make such a threat, you’ve over extended your strength I’ll get some one to help you to the hospital. Beside Utatane is ...”

Jiraiya stood to his full height taking a deep breath. “Do not treat me like one of your patients, I am going after him! Do not expect him back in one piece.” Just before he leaped out the window, the Hokage’s office door burst open, halting Tsunade’s protest against Jiraiya.

Shizune burst in gasping “Hokage-sama! We just received word; Kuni-te has given you twenty-four hours to release Aburame Shino from custody! Oh no! What happen to Utatane-sama? ” She joins Mitokado and Tsunade on the floor gazing in the elderly woman’s lined face. Behind her a man from the Aburame clan, his clothes covered in blood.

Standing up slowly the Fifth bellowed for aide, two ninja appeared instantly lifting the old women. She then instructed Shizune to see that Utatane receives proper care and send a report to her immediately.

Her personal assistant left quickly behind those supporting the old women, Mitokado stopped at the door, shaking his head at the disastrous office then gazed reprovingly at Tsunade before leaving in silence.

“Please excuse me.” The Aburame ninja entered; he had stood aside and waited his turn to speak. Without taking notice of the destruction, he seemed detached from the events, in his hand he clasp the bloody scroll that Kuni-te returned. “Hokage-sama, the Chief Council Leader is in the hospital they say he will survive, however the guide that assisted us is dead.”

“What is the meaning of this?” She accepted the offered scroll, noticing her own seal and recognized it at the sentencing order her officers were to deliver to Kuni-te. “Where are my men?” She snapped.

The ninja placed his hands together releasing the henge. “Please forgive me Hokage-sama we wanted to assist our friend.” She released the jutsu assuming her usual form, still in the soiled clothing.

Tsunade closed her eyes briefly, taking a deep breath. There could be only one person that would go into the dangerous situation with Hinata. “Why did you replace my men, and explain to me what happen to Kiba?”

Jiraiya walked over glaring at the petite ninja, nearly all her clothing covered front and back with blood, yet she seemed uninjured. “I want to know how the injuries were inflicted.”

Hinata kept her eyes fixedly on the Fifth while she spoke, her only desire to return to the Aburame Clan as quickly as possible. “Shino approached us with a request, he needed people he could trust with in the Aburame Clan to keep a close eye on Kuni-te and monitor the effects of his technique. We had an escort with in the clan to ensure that we did not have any trouble. Also Shino wished to protect the Council Chief so Kiba and I agreed to fill in the position.” She paused, swallowing a tight stitch in her chest.

Before she could continue Jiraiya cut in. “What technique did you need to monitor?”

Hinata eyes snapped on the Hermit, a nervous frown wrinkled the delicate skin between her eyes. She did not need to answer as Tsunade intervened. “Do not interrupt her, Hinata please continue.”

Dropping her gaze from the Hermit’s penetrating glare, she explained how Kiba used henge to impersonate another Aburame person in charge of security, while she took a position guarding the Chief Council leader who had a private meeting with the Clan Elder Kuni-te. She met Tsunade’s Jonins with the scroll outside and agreed to deliver the document, refusing access directly to the Aburame leader. Eventually they turned over the scroll, which she and the escort took to the Elder immediately. Upon entering the outer office, it was evident that Kuni-te was arguing with the council Chief. She recounted the events within the Chief’s office falling silent in her own thoughts of the fallen ninja.

Tsunade paced the office, they now had concrete evidence that Kuni-te has attacked and killed a clan member. Although the threat concerned her more, what did the old bastard have up his sleeve? She also considered the strangeness that he would choose a physical attack instead of using his Kikai. Her information on the old man noted the man’s Kikai are notorious.

“What about Kiba is he aware of the situation and where is he now?” The Hermit interjected.

Hinata stammered then took a deep breath to steady herself. “I am not sure, he was not at the office and I have not yet had time to go back for him, which is my next plan. If you are done with me Hokage-sama may I please…?”

The big white hair Sanin step forward, he wanted straight answers about that clan. His presence caused the young ninja to cringe in his wake, her eyes wide. “Tell me everything you know about that jutsu you needed to monitor.”

Tsunade gritted her teeth, her old teammate breaking her train of thoughts. “Back off Jiraiya, I will be asking any questions!”

Jiraiya growled keeping his eyes glued on the Hyuga ninja. “That boy just destroyed your office, caused injury to an Elder of the village, openly threatened to take control of the Hidden Leaf and worse of all underestimated my capacity to kick his ass!” He barked, flashing a glare at the Fifth, and then gazed dangerously at Hinata. “I will have my questions answered one way or another.”

The white eyed ninja stared back in shock, and then something occurred to her about Shino, that Kiba made jokes about. Hinata’s thin eyebrows knitted, fixing Jiraiya with her own defiant stare. “I will not tell you anything about that clan unless Shino ask me himself.” Hinata declared forcefully. “No matter how obvious the circumstance, the Aburame Clan never receives recognition for their contributions to the Leaf.”

The two Sanin stared in dumb disbelief, Hinata usually attempts to appease everyone this new discovery of her strength and loyalty to her comrades, a refreshing development. Tsunade instantly felt a level of pride for the young ninja. “Hinata if there is information that would assist us our investigation you are honor bound to report it.” She stated cynically with a slight smirk on her pink lips.

“I have nothing to add regarding the Aburame Clan, other than Kuni-te’s crime is heinous and morally disturbing however, as the acting head family leader it is within his capacity to deliver a death sentence on any member within his clan.” Her white eyes turned to the Fifth. “Hokage-sama I do not wish to be disrespectful, please understand that Kiba and I only investigated to determine Kuni-te’s level of mental stability. The circumstances were not in any way related to the village, and at no time did we feel his behavior endangered anyone but himself.”

Jiraiya barked in laughter, “Tell that to the one he killed, and you are covered in another person’s blood, wonder if he would agree with you that the old bastard is not dangerous.” He crossed his powerful arms over his chest scrutinizing Hinata.

She blushed looking at the floor then quickly composed herself as Tsunade addressed her. “Hinata, the situation has become more complicated than you can image, you can see the destruction to my office, Shino is responsible, and he has made allegations that are directly against the Leaf. I do not want to believe this; however, he has left us little option.” She put her hands on her small hips standing tall and speaking with authority. “The hoax of a trial will now become a reality consider this an ‘A’ level mission, gather Kiba and together both of you see to it all your fellow graduates meet me first thing in the morning in the atrium is that understood!” The tiny Hyuga stood at attention in agreement nodding her head.

Before Hinata could leave the Hermit added, “Do not confront Kuni-te, keep your distance I will be making a personal visit with the old fool myself.” He chuckled darkly.

“I am sorry Jiraiya-sama that would not be wise, he warned against anyone interfering. We should all keep our distance. Despite what has occurred here, I know Shino would never do anything to jeopardize the life of anyone in the Hidden Leaf, he would give his life to protect us all.” When neither Sanin spoke again she left determined to reach Kiba and tell him what has happen, sure he would understand why Shino would make a threat against the Leaf and shed some light on what their teammate is planning.

Tsunade sat down after flipping her chair upright, Hinata’s words replaying in her mind. ‘What could be the true motive? He wants to stop his uncle from using him as a means to draw attention to the strength of his clan. What she did know is Kuni-te has worked with persons that Konoha considers dangerous to the safety of the Leaf however since she did not have solid evidence there is no way to pursue him on the charges. Although enough information relating to Shibi’s death exist, that dam rule of the Head Family leader having control of executions within the clan messes up any chance to prosecute him for that crime.’ She sucked her teeth. “We will just need to wait for him to act openly before we can stop him.” She leaned heavily on an open palm, on one-half her broken desk.

“That may not be necessary, that bit of news Hinata provided is enough to get that bastard, but we need to go at him with everything we have.” Now the white hair Shinobi leaned against the window once more staring into the night.

“Jiraiya I hope you are not talking about Shino again, I will deal with him in the morning. Drawing attention to the fact that he is not in custody is too risky at this point.”

He chuckled at his short-tempered object of desire. “I was not referring to the brat, although I intend to pay him back. That uncle of his killed Shibi years ago you told me Guy gave you that information.”

Tsunade sat up tall, wondering where he could be leading with this revelation. “Yes, what about it?”

The big Sannin turned around in the window crossing his arms over his chest. “Well he was not the Head Family leader at that time, Shibi his brother held that position. According to what you already told me, we can at least bring him in for questioning and once he resist we kill him consider him a threat and dust off our sandals.”

Pushing his foamy hands in the thick blonde hair, Shino moaned his hips jumped forward into the warm sucking mouth. Naruto knelled on the floor of the shower gazing up sapphire eyes full of lust, his hand squeezing the powerful hips and coxing his lover to open his legs wider. The scent of orange blossoms permeated the air, a soft spray from one of the showerhead rained down just behind Naruto. Shino lifted his foot on the low shower wall, the sensation of Naruto’s hands stroking steadily closer to his ass sent shivers down his spine. Lifting his long fingers from the blonde locks he adjusted the hot spay over his lover, slowly stroking the suds away.

Naruto pulled the cock out of his mouth, holding it up and lowered his lips to the heavy sacs below, sucking one ball into his mouth then gazing up at his lover. Over the sound of the shower, an audible moan escaped Shino’s throat, he pushed forward again, his hand trembling as it caressed Naruto’s face, and then nodded for his lover to continue. Closing his violet eyes trying to relax the gripping emotions clutching his heart, as Naruto rubbed a finger over the outer rim of his virgin anus, Shino took a deep breath.

The inescapable knowledge that this is one of the things he sought to complete in his life. This connection with the person he loves more then himself, a true demonstration of the commitment he wants to share with this man. He opened his eyes gasping softly as the narrow finger breached his opening, turning slowly and carefully, however Naruto also choose that moment to engulf both balls. Lavishing them with a skill Shino would never have imagined from a person so young, while the blonde ninja’s free hand stroked the head of Shino’s dick in a rhythm that ricocheted throughout his entire body, causing his heart to triple beat in his chest, his ass flexed and widened for more.

“Naruto…!” Shino groaned, his hand lifting the blonde ninja’s face from his scrotum, they drooped down, the skin tighter than when Naruto began.

Continuing to push his finger deeper in the flexing hole, Naruto grinned mischievously at his lover. “Feels good right, you know you must have the hardest ass in Konoha.” Naruto did not wait for a response he took the bluish cock head in his mouth his mouth purposely wide to demonstrate his skill. Allowing the pink muscle to smooth the thick pre-cum over the wide cock teasingly and then licking slowly over the bulbous head, running his tongue in the gapping slit and peering up at the euphoric gleam in Shino’s face.

Shino blinked in an attempt to hold his eruption, just watching Naruto had the wave tightening his manhood and caused a familiar heat to enlarge his groin. His lust-filled mind could not process Naruto’s words, he closed his eyes again the multiple sensations from his lover consuming. Naruto’s technique still causes a certain level of jealousy; he imagined Jiraiya teaching Naruto how to perform in bed, and his lover never elaborated on how he had improved the only option Shino concluded is the Hermit taught him everything. He considered asking to distract his growing desire to erupt when a second finger pushed inside his tight rectum. Much faster than the first, it felt almost painful, Shino felt his body clench around the fingers, he held his breath, Naruto continued to turn them slowly, working them deeper.

Peering up at the flushed face Naruto paused, his cock twitched aching to be inside the tightness, he knew if he did not slow down that might never happen. He kept his fingers still, pushing the thick cock deep in his mouth, squeezing it firmly with his lips and sucking with the back of his throat. That made the difference it caused Shino to push forward and moan his ass opened more, allowing Naruto’s fingers to move into position.

Now the two digits just pushed in and out only spreading after several slow thrust and deep sucking on the growing cock. Naruto pulled the cock out again Shino seemed ready for the next step but Naruto wanted to make sure he would be soon to follow. Lifting Shino’s dick in his free hand he lapped at the now tight skin surrounding the testicles, nuzzling his face down and lifting the sacks up as well, he sucked firmly on the sensitive skin beneath, and then grinned as a hand forced his head lower.

The tightness around Naruto’s finger relaxed once more while he lapped at the smooth outer skin over his lovers prostrate, sucking loudly on the tight surface and pressing his lips firmly. Then between steady thrust he slipped in a third finger, curling them up to tease Shino’s prostrate. The reaction more intense than Naruto expected, the long fingers gripping fistfuls of golden hair pulling his mouth away only to shove the rigged cock between the bright red lips. Naruto gulped quickly on the thick length, pushing his fingers deeper into his lover cavity the tension around his fingers made his dick twitch and ache for entry, above the shower water ceased.

His entire body quaked with need, his head swimming with images of Naruto beneath him, the clear blue eyes, the devious smile and even his temper tantrums, enveloped him in desire to have every part of this young ninja. “More give me more Naruto.” He panted, pushing his hips forward deeper in the wide mouth, and then rocked his ass downward for the probing fingers.

Naruto skillfully twisted his fingers, avoiding that succulent area, his lover’s body opened for more in reaction to less. He gazed up at Shino pulling the engorged dick out of his mouth grinning while he smacked his lips and slowed his thrusting fingers. “You want more? I did not realize you would love this so much.”

“More now!” Shino hissed then the sneaky grin left Naruto’s face completely as his big lover lowered himself over him pushing the blonde ninja back on the hard shower floor. “It is not what you do that I like it is you I love.” Crouching over Naruto’s narrow hips Shino lowered one knee flat on the wet stone as he impaled his ass on Naruto’s rigid staff; the golden ninja gripped the base of his cock holding it in place.

Naruto raised one knee behind Shino wondering if he should suggest the bed as a more comfortable alternative, however once that hard ass began to swallow his dick every thought in the world emptied out of his mind, besides the ass swallowing his need. Lifting his head from the shower floor, he stared down between their contact points. Naruto shuddered at the sight of his length disappearing deep within the tight confines, feeling he would come just from the image, and he can feel his cock twitching in the hot body.

Shino stop little more than halfway down breathing deeply and closing his eyes. Naruto felt the tightness around his cock like a vice he wanted to move, but knew he better be patient and wait for his lover to adjust. Naruto reached up panting just as hard touching Shino’s face gently.

“Are you alright Shi?”

The violet eyes opened staring down at him with a lust Naruto rarely noticed, Shino leaned slowly down toward him, a soft hiss escaping the thin parted lips, and his ass ingesting the last few inches of Naruto’s painful erection. Naruto gasped, the firm cheeks pressing against his pelvis, causing him to wrap his tan arms around the dark haired ninja and lift his head to meet the parted lips in a wet kiss. His eyes fluttered close the sensation intoxicating, Naruto taking shallow breaths to contain the excitement and prolong the sensation.

“Open your eyes, Tenshi.”

The sapphire eyes jerked open, his lips and tongue dancing in Shino’s open mouth. The dark hair hangs like a curtain around Naruto’s face obscuring the room from view. Shino’s lips melting his soul and the bug lords’ strong heart beating against his chest consumed every worry he ever felt for his future with this man.

Naruto’s body shuddered; the hips over him lift and lower soon their thrust find a steady rhythm. Naruto pushed his fingers in the dark curtain of hair pulling the mouth deeper in the blissful sensation with him. Naruto gave into his desire, releasing his doubt and fears making a conscious choice to have every ounce of this man. He stared into the violet eyes, sucking with increased intensity on their joined mouths and pushing his cock between Shino’s clenching walls. Naruto curved his pelvis raising another knee and lowering his hands gripping both powerful hips with his long fingers. Shifting the angle of his penetration until the head of his cock made contact with Shino’s prostrate. The dark hair ninja groaned raising his body up, gripping Naruto’s shoulders and pounding his down on his lover faster.

Gripping Shino’s dark cock Naruto pumped it tightly trying to mimic what he felt inside the hard body, rubbing his thumb over the slick pre-cum his other hand digging into a thickly muscled hip, pushing into his lover feeling his explosion peaking.

“Shino I…”

Naruto grunted his river breaking forth, his hand clamped the hard muscle in his grip and felt the heat of hot slippery fluid spilling between the circle of his thumb and index finger. Still thrusting spasmodically around the clenching waves on his cock, that milked his last juices before his lover lay across him heavily.

Naruto wiped the dark hair off Shino’s face, and then began to kiss him slowly, his body on the stone flooring felt numb but he did not notice or care. Kissing his lover now felt like all he needed or wanted in the world. Shino leaned on one elbow staring in his face, the dark shoulder length hair hanging wetly around the violet eyes burn a permanent image in Naruto’s mind he smiled softly.

“You are beautiful.”

Shino just blinked and returned a softer smile. “Sex can make you see things.”

Naruto’s smile melted then he frowned. “I am not joking you are a good looking…you are beautiful and I love you.” He stroked a hand across Shino’s jaw lifting the dark hair and running his fingers through it. “I will always love you.”

They both had nothing more to say, Shino leaned forward kissing the blonde ninja then helped him up. Under the shower spray, again they stared at each other and kissed.

Once they climb into Shino’s old bed he held Naruto tightly in an embrace, what filled his eyes with tears is Naruto held on just as tightly. Shino thought ‘finally he is in love with me.’ He blinked away the emotion and just continued to hold his lover. “Naruto, I want you to do something for me.”

“Sure, what?”

Shino looked at the ceiling choosing his words; he stroked a large hand over the golden crop and took a deep breath. “Naruto there is no easy way to ask this but I promise I will explain at a later time. I think you will discover the meaning on your own, but if not I will make it clear for you in time.”

“Ok now I’m worried.” Naruto sat up on one elbow staring into Shino’s profile. “What do you need me to do?”

“Do not worry it is not a bad thing I ask, just.” He paused then stared into Naruto’s eyes, “I want you on the last day of your life, to have a cup of tea with me, a special blend.”

Naruto eyes widened he did not understand. “What are you talking about and how am I suppose to know when the last day of my life is?”

Smiling he stroked a hand through the golden hair, and then reached over on the nightstand lifting a dark vile. “This is the tea you do not need to heat it room temperature is fine, until then keep it safe and just between us.”

Naruto took the vile staring at the dark fluid. “I don’t understand Shi, why would you want something like this?”

Shino took the vile returning it to the table then wrapped his arm around the golden ninja, “So we will always be together.” He kissed Naruto before he could pose another question, the chaste kiss growing deeper by the second until Shino pushed Naruto back nipping down his neck. “Round two Tenshi.”

Naruto spent many of the late hours groaning from his lovers’ attention to detail on all his sensitive areas. He lost count of the number of explosions Shino drew from him. Leaving Naruto exhausted with a crooked smile on his face as he slept, mumbling.

‘My ass is killing me but can they do it again? Shino lay behind him carefully stroking the tan skin he closed his eyes.

“Shino?”

He opened his eyes; the soft purr of Naruto’s breathing whispering in his ear, he didn’t remember falling asleep. “What is it?”

“I have done as you asked, please reconsider there must be another way.”

Shino shifted his gaze to the high window, the sun just started to light the sky, he blinked slowly considering his next task. He stroked a trembling hand through the golden hair, and then pressed a kiss on Naruto’s forehead. “This is the only way.” He eased out of the bed and quickly dressed. “See to it that every Aburame person is relocated out of the Leaf, I have done my best now the rest is up to you.”

The bug clone watched silently once Shino pulled on his jacket they were identical, however the original removed his metallic chain handing it to the clone. “Give this to him when he wakes and remember my orders, understood?”

The clone sat down on the edge of the bed staring at the chain, and the pictures of Shino’s parents on the tag. “Shino Kuni-te is not worth this, please reconsider. The Fifth has faith in you although the council elders acted as you predicted.”

“The more I fight against my destiny the less it changes. You are becoming more human with every passing day. I will not reconsider do not ask me again. Kuni-te is responsible for my fathers’ death and you know how long he may have suffered in that tomb, weeks, months. I will kill that man painfully I sware and see to it that none of his dreams are realized.”

The clone gazed at Naruto. “He will not be happy, he will stop you.”

Shino step to the door that would take him back to the roof. “No the hero will not interfere this time I took most of his strength, he will sleep through this, later he and I will talk about it much later.” He waved a hand and the ceiling a multitude of Kikai hibernating came to life and then exited behind him. The several thousand that remained sat holding the chain, somberly hoping Naruto would wake soon.

Naruto hated frogs; he trained for weeks trying to master that stupid jutsu with that perverted hermit. ‘Damn I am never going to learn how to summon these stupid things!’

Naruto gazed over at himself then laughed at the look of concentration on his young twisted face. ‘Man I sure look stupid trying to summon that dumb frog.’ Then he laughed again when Jiraiya yelled at him, telling him he had no talent. ‘I may not have talent with frogs but you have no talent with women.’ He chuckled again then stuck his tongue out at the scene turning away he saw another memory.

‘Sasuke may give me a chance to get closer I just have to see if he will let me hug him.’ “Yo! Sasuke, are you hungry do you want to get some ramen with me?” He snickered.

*The raven rolled his eyes. ‘Stop following me around, idiot.’ Then Sasuke turned to walk away, but Naruto grabbed him too forcefully and pulled. Sasuke lost his balance and the blonde ninja grinned at the chance to get the hug he desired.*

Naruto winced at the kick in the face Sasuke gave him sending him reeling back a dozen yards and crashing into a wall. ‘I sure was stupid that guy never liked me and I never paid him back for that kick.’ He watched Sasuke walk off fuming, and then stared at the young Naruto. ‘Why am I thinking about this now? This was to make me do everything I ever wanted before I face a certain death situation, so that I would learn to call my strength at will, learn the trick to tapping into the Demon’s strength and use it to summon frogs. The scene changed, he was on the roof with Shino.

*“It is like a caterpillar Naruto, which goes into a metamorphosis becoming a new creature.”*

*“I will become more than what I am now, and then you will see something truly amazing.”*

He blinked. ‘What why did he say that to me? He said he would miss me the most.’ He heard a familiar laughter the roof vision faded and he turned to see the large cage and the red apparition looming in the darkness. He knew this part was not a dream he was inside the demon chamber and it was laughing mockingly at him again.

“Heh, heh, heh.” The demon thrashed its tails around in the cage, red chakra wafting between the bars and filing the larger chamber.

“What do you want you dam fox!” Naruto spat gripping his fist, glaring at the beast.

“You are as stupid as they come.”

Naruto glared then turned around slightly surprised to see no exit. He turned back to staring angrily. “Let me out!” He hollered

“Heh, heh, heh, that is not in my power you control the passage in and out.” It laughed again.

“Where is the fucking door!” He roared, he felt something must be wrong and he wanted to wake and talk with Shino.

“Oh your mind is an open book I see you realize the true problem. How will you stop him?”

Naruto’s frown softened. “What do you mean stop him from what?”

Now the Fox roared with laughter, which caused the blonde container to scowl again. “You are a ridiculous prison for me. I should have been sealed in something more worthy, like Uchiha.”

“You only want him because you know he would not be able to contain you as long as I have and will. You are a waste of my time.” The door behind him appeared; he turned his back on the fox. “I swear I will never let you free.”

“You must hurry if you are going to stop him, before it’s too late.” It growled.

Naruto, turned around glaring at he demon, “What is happening!”

Just before noon, the bug clone watched the blonde ninja stir shifting shaking between the sheets and then suddenly leaped out of the bed landing on his knees his body quivering.

“Uzumaki you are awake.”

Naruto stood tall his back to the bug clone red chakra wafting up from his body, he turned red eyes on the clone. “Where is Shino?” He said dangerously.

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

Sasuke blinked something cool against his cheek, when his eyes focused he saw Haku staring down at him the canopy of trees over his head. “Haku…”

“Do not try to speak Sasuke we will move soon, I just wanted to treat your wounds.”

Then the deep burning hit him again, the sensation unbearable, he turned on his side and vomited and then jumped at the feel of Haku hands touching his hips. “Sasuke, I must treat you I will be careful please forgive me for any discomfort.”

He said nothing biting his lip through the pain, the sun barely lighting the sky. He squeezed his eyes close trying to erase the dark memories. However just as quickly he opened them the darkness replaying every detail vividly. If it is the last thing he does, he will kill that man, soon as his body healed enough. At that moment the pain, crescendo and he fainted.

When he awoke the white hair made him, panic he sat up then wished he had not his body screaming from the pain deep inside. “Why are you here?” He snapped teetering between upright and fully sitting up any, movement intensified his suffering.

The man did respond immediately, instead he gently but firmly eased him back and turned him on his side, in a position that eased the discomfort in his rectum. “I am here Uchiha because Haku needed me here and you obviously need some help as well.”

“Where is he?” Sasuke grunted his throat hurt.

Kimimaro eased a cup under his mouth. “This tea will help drink as much as you can then get some rest.”

Sasuke drank his mouth felt parched his body ached in nearly every corner and still the person did not answer his questions. He relaxed his head on the bundle under him staring up in the tree canopy blocking most of the light of day. “Please tell me where.”

Kimimaro prodded the fire deep in his own thoughts. “He has returned to the village with Morino to answer questions about killing that Jonin.”

Sasuke sat up his face twisting in pain and rage. “What! He can’t go there alone.” He tried to stand, his caretaker watched him struggle. Sasuke collapsed on his knees his body shaking with the effort to stand.

“Uchiha you can not help him in your condition he killed a man. Whether it was justified or not it is a decision for the Fifth Hokage to make, not you or me. He asked that I keep you here, he did not want them to examine you, and so if you happen to be strong enough to actually walk out of here I will be forced to immobilize you painfully.” Kimimaro spoke in a detached voice as if his own pain lies deeper still.

“Why do it alone? I can tell them what happen.” He slumped forward his body felt heavy, then he remembered the tea, it must have contained something to calm his body. “Fuck!” He punched the ground feebly, and then groaned.

“Do not worry Morino is a good man he will speak for our Haku.” He tossed more wood on the fire then stared up at the high sun, tears leak out of his green eyes.

“Please Kimimaro, if they don’t believe Morino I may never see him again, please take me to him.” Sasuke stared at the strange ninja’s profile, wondering why he is upset, could it be Haku.

“I will not take you to him, because he asked me to remain here until Morino returns. It may all go in his favor have faith Uchiha.”

He closed his eyes worried then mumbled. “Kimi what is wrong has something happen?” However, sleep pulled him under and he did not here the response.

_____________________

The Hokage faced her soldiers, staring at each one with a mixture of pride, and sadness, the mission they would undertake would be dangerous. She had fought the council tooth and nail and issued an official order with drawling the death sentence, but the council over ruled her stating that the open attack in her office demonstrated that the Aburame heir is a danger to the Hidden Leaf. A great divide began to grow and she found herself and her loyal Shinobi on one side and the council on the other. ‘Is this what being a leader meant?’ She could not rationalize the fear that the council claimed, she believed in her gut that Shino is not dangerous. Also with some of her most trusted officers advising her she had to side with the council in order not to divide the Leaf. ‘What the Hell can I do? I want to protect him but look at this situation.’

Despite her claims that Kuni-te is to blame for the strange behavior in her elite student, none of the council would listen especially with Utatane still in the hospital under observation. Tsunade had a suspicions the old women is pretending if she ever proved the old hag is faking she would knock her out for real. She nodded at Shizune, who then spoke in a firm voice giving everyone their assignments and handing out data on Kuni-te and Shino. Her voice resounded around the grand hall echoing back and humming in the air after she finished speaking. Her assistant turned to stare at her as she finished, Tsunade step forward.

“Listen this is not a decision that is ever easy to make, but an order to execute on site Aburame Kuni-te, he is deranged and dangerous take him out quickly.” She paused the door in the rear opened Morino entered followed by one of the visitors, Tsunade ignored him continuing. “Furthermore Aburame Shino is to be eliminated on sight he is extremely dangerous do not attempt this on your own…”

Morino’s voice bellowed over the rest of her words. “Over my fucking dead body will you hurt that boy!”

Tsunade smirked not at all surprised to hear another voice so close he could have touched her. “I second that, Hokage-sama, fill me in.”

“Kakashi you are in no condition to fight, you should be in bed with Iruka and…”

“I am not in bed, what he hell is going on and why were we not informed?” The feisty teacher stormed.

Tsunade turned one light-green eye on her pride Jonin once again thinking the man would make the perfect sixth Hokage. “Well the council has ruled him a danger to the Leaf, we can not go against he council. Can we?” She turned back to the scar face Jonin with the fair visitor at his shoulder. She remembered him only briefly as one of the ninja in her fake plot to throw Kuni-te a curve, their plan worked, it completely unraveled the man. Although his whereabouts still a mystery, his actions spoke volumes to the impact, his nephew’s psychological warfare.

Morino glared at the Fifth “What the fuck is going on, that fucking council can suck my hairy…”

“Morino!” Iruka snapped. “We do not need visuals, we get the point!” Some of the watching ninja nodded with disgusted looks.

“Iruka don’t be a prude. I would like to hear about what he wants sucked.” Kakashi teased. Several ninja laughed at his remark, even the Fifth cracked a smile. However, the mellow soft voice of their visitor dropped all humor.

“This is amusing killing a man who would give his life to save everyone of you, this village is not what I suspected.” Haku stared at the Hokage disapprovingly. “I have killed one of your men and I am here to face judgment for that.”

“Morino, what is he talking about?” Now Tsunade stared closely at the boy.

“We need to speak alone about this.” Morino glanced at the young Shinobi, wondering if a better reprieve than Shino were possible, and what time did he have to help his subordinate.

Tsunade stared up at the outer window, dawn approaching fast, she needed to make a decision. “Alright delay the order in the mean time Shizune make squads of two ninja each based on the information we received from Hinata. Scour the village for anything suspicious and prepare for the worse case scenario we need to be ready for anything.”

“Hokage-sama do you mean evacuate?” The assistant gasped

“Dam right, we will not risk any more casualties get all the citizens to safety immediately! Hinata and Kiba should be rounding up the rookies, use them to assist.” She then turned to the others “Kakashi, Iruka, Morino, and you.” She pointed at Haku. “My office now!”
