I'm glad so many of you got so excited over the story and were so eager for me to update. This is the final chapter, and there will be a part two. In the next part, the chapters will be longer, and may appear only once every few days because of the longer length and the fact that I am a full time college student.
Anyways, please enjoy the end of this story and wait just as eagerly for the beginning of the next part.
This story carries a pretty heavy language warning... Sasuke and that darn mouth of his... shakes head
Sasuke burst into the Hokage's office, once again not bothering to knock. He slammed his fist into her desk, bringing down an orange jacket with it.
"What the hell is it now, Uchiha?" Tsunade demanded, rising from her seat.
Sasuke thrust the jacket at her. "It's his; Naruto's. I know he's alive, so why is everyone acting like he isn't?"
Tsunade was taken aback for a moment, and feel silent. She closed her eyes to think, and when she opened them, her voice was slow and shaky. "I don't know what you mean; I examined Naruto's body myself, and there is no doubt in my mind that he's-"
"Dammit! Don't lie to me." Sasuke interrupted. "I've seen him almost ever night since I've been back here. I've slept with him every time I've seen him, include about fifty times last night, and I have these marks," at this, Sasuke pulled down the collar of his shirt to show the marks 'Naruto' had left on him. "And his clothes to prove it."
"Dammit." Tsunade cursed under her breath. "I told him-"
"What?" Sasuke demanded. "You told him not to get caught because it would ruin whatever little scheme you and this entire fucking village have planned to piss me off? Why the fuck are all of you pretending that that little idiot is dead when he's not?"
"I told you, Naruto is-" This time Tsunade was interrupted by the appearance of Full Moon Fox.
"Hokage-sama." The masked man bowed. "Perhaps he should-"
"Stay the fuck out of this!" Sasuke broke in, reeling back and slamming his fist alongside Full Moon Fox's face.
The fox-mask instantly shattered. The cloth mask underneath remained, but Sasuke still froze in place. He stammered for a few minutes before snapping back to reality when the Hokage slammed all of the blinds shut.
Though half of his face was still hidden, Sasuke could finally see the man clearly and in color. The short spiky hair that he had been unable to pin-point now jumped out in a bright golden color; the big expressive eyes that Sasuke knew he had seen before now shone deep blue; and, just where the mask ended, three small marks on each side of Full Moon Fox's could be made out. Now, Sasuke was also able to remember what the smell he had smelt within the fox-mask was: ramen.
Without even thinking, Sasuke lunged at the man he now knew was Naruto. "You son of a bitch!" He screamed as he pounded his fist into the other man's face. "What the hell did you think you were doing? How could you just leave me like? How could you just watch me suffer over something you knew hadn't happened?" Slowly, Sasuke's pounding got weaker, until he was limply hitting Naruto's chest. "How could you leave me like that?"
"You left me first." Naruto's voice was cold and emotionless.
In anger and frustration, Sasuke pulled the final face mask off of Naruto's face, then seized his mouth with his own. Naruto just sat there, not reacting at all.
"You can't just fix what you did when you left with a simple kiss." Naruto stated matter-of-factly. "Now you know how I felt when you left, and it killed me that I couldn't bring you back. That is why Uzumaki Naruto is no more."
"Dobe." Sasuke seethed as he pushed Naruto. "I left to protect you. I had to get stronger, with whatever means possible, so that I could kill Itachi. When I learned that he was after you, and I couldn't stop him when he came for you, I knew I had to do something. I had to make sure I could protect you, so that you wouldn't end up like everyone else I loved."
Naruto's breath hitched, and Sasuke took notice. "Tuh, Dobe, of course that's what it was." He continued on. "I love you."
"Sa-Sasuke." Naruto leaned closer.
"This is all very sweet," Tsunade interrupted. "But, what are we going to do about this situation? There is a strict reason why Naruto's identity was kept secret from everyone, and now it's been compromised."
"Everyone?" Sasuke asked, turning to Naruto. The Uchiha was still sitting somewhat in the younger man's lap from their earlier bout.
Naruto nodded. "Everyone really does believe that I'm dead. Only Tsunade-baa-chan and Ero-sannin know that I'm Full Moon Fox." Naruto smiled a toothy smile. "So that means that everyone's hatred towards you for killing me were their true feelings."
"Dobe." Sasuke said off-handedly as he pushed Naruto again and got up off him.
"We can't let the village lose the last Uchiha member, and the Sharingan, but there is no way that Sasuke can continue here with everyone believing what he knows isn't true."
Naruto looked away thinking for a moment before speaking slowly and sadly. "Anou, the village doesn't need me anymore." He reminded the Hokage dejectedly. "If I went back to how it was before, just being an ANBU captain, then everything would be okay, right?"
"People would question the death of everyone else since then." Tsunade answered slowly. "And, we would never be able to for this division again."
"I still have the same skills though." Naruto pleaded. "And Sasuke does too. I'm sure even Sai has the capabilities required, so why should it matter?"
"Are you willing to deal with the consequences yourself, without having to have me come in and set everything right after I make the announcement that all of this was to deal with the threat of Akatsuki and Orochimaru?"
"Hai." The blonde boy answered confidently.
"Alright." Tsunade sighed.
Naruto smiled as he jumped towards Sasuke wrapping his arms around the Uchiha. Everything was going to be alright now; he had his lover, his village, and soon he would have his friend again. Absolutely nothing could go wrong, and everything in Naruto's world would be better than it had been before Sasuke had left all those years ago. Life would be great.
Okay guys, many of you were right when you guessed that Full Moon Fox was Naruto, and even just the fact that Naruto wasn't really dead.
To clear up a few things... Naruto considered himself to have really died because he lost Sasuke, and that's why he was so much unlike himself when he was Full Moon Fox. The part two will pick up here... The prologue, because there will be one, will give a quick overview of what happened, and then will include Tsunade's announcement to the village.
I look forward to seeing all of you in the next part. Please tell me what you think about how it ended, and even how you feel about male preg... I'm kind of against it, yet I support all male pregs I've ever read (which is a lot)... It wouldn't happen in the next one, but I was thinking about writing something about Sasu/Naru as maybe a family in the future and maybe even keeping this story as their background there... I know it's a lot to ask you guys to tell me, but please do.
Naru-chan: I only support a male preg. if Sasuke has to carry the kid around.
Sasu-kun: Dobe, how do you expect that to happen?
Naru-chan: That's the writer's problem, not mine.
Aiko: sweat-drop and pulse vein Thanks alot Naru-chan, for that I'm going to make go through childbirth as often as possible, unless my readers want Sasu-kun prego too. with puppy-dog eyes Please no, I don't know how to explain that one as possible.
