-Tsuchikage

Naruto jumped onto the broken roof where the rest of his comrades were. Some medical shinobi raced over and took Gaara from Narutos back carefully as Kakashi smiled.
The other senseis sighed in relief, seeing Naruto hadn't lost control.

Sasuke raced over, noticing how exhausted Naruto looked.

"You ok?"
Naruto nodded. "That was just a lot of chakra." He chuckled.
Sasuke wiped his fingers over Narutos cheeks. "I didn't know you had whiskers."
Naruto hummed. "Oh no it's just because I used Kuramas chakra. They'll go away soon."
Sasuke nodded but than looked back at Naruto. "The henge Naruto."
"Hm? Oh right."

Naruto laid his dented and scratched protector back around his blob of blonde hair.

"What's happening with Madara?"
Sasuke bit his lip and grabbed Narutos hand. "Naruto-"
Naruto snatched his hand back. "No." He growled.
Sasuke frowned. "... yeah."

Naruto clenched his fists and ran passed him. Kakashi tried to grab him but Naruto dodged and pushed passed the Anbu who also tried to stop him.

"No!" Naruto yelled.

Everyone looked over, those who didn't know Naruto, looking shocked he actually cared about their Hokage. Naruto stumbled but slid on his knees to the elder Uchiha laying on a medical pad.
He clenched his fists as Minato stepped closer. He was so confused why Naruto was acting like this. Why he was so upset when he was his father... shouldn't he act that way if he was dead?

"No... No you can't be dead. You need to come back." Tears built in Narutos eyes. "You actually understood! Come on! You can't leave me like you left mom! I'm your fucking son!"

Sasuke wrapped his arms around Narutos waist, pulling him away before Naruto could actually beat him.

"Let go! Let go of me!" Naruto fought back but Sasuke had a really tight grip. He turned Naruto around and fell to his knees holding the young Uzumaki to his chest.
"I protected this damn village! He can't leave! Not before he actually sees it!"

Sasuke closed his eyes in pain as Naruto scratched his back. He buried into Narutos neck, his grip deadly tight around Narutos midsection.

"Naruto... please." Sasuke begged.
Naruto grabbed Sasukes hair but instead of throwing him like the senseis thought, he only fell into Sasukes chest.
"Why?" Naruto whimpered. "We survived.. why couldn't he?"

Sasuke didn't say anything. He only held onto Naruto tightly, wishing Naruto would at least cry into him but he only sniffled and whimpered.

The roof was silent as Sasuke calmed Naruto down until he was asleep in his arms.

"The hokage never had a child." Mito spoke.
"Just shut up." Everyone looked at Sasuke shocked. "Can't you all shut up? Our hokage just died and you father will probably take his spot. You are all so self centered it makes me sick." He spat.
"Sasuke-kun-"
"You're no better!" Sasuke scowled. "You people can't even see how torn people are! The hokage just died and all your worrying about is the scene Naruto made! Unlike your father, Madara was actually there and took care of this damned village! Just zip it for fucking once! No one cares what you think! No one cares your father is the 4th hokage! No. one, cares!"

Tears weld in the threes eyes as Sasuke stood with Naruto in his arms. He walked passed Itachi and his father before jumping down and vanishing from everyone's sight.
