Drunken Space Ninjutsu

Chapter 1

"Come on Naruto, just a little further!" yelled a feminine voice.

"How come I have to do all the heavy lifting Sakura? You're the one with the brutish strength!" Naruto lamented as he pushed the sofa from one side of the living room to the other. 

"BAKA! Do you really think that's something to say to a girl?" shouted Sakura

"Dobe," another voice interrupted before the pinkette could yell again. "Why don't you just use the Kage Bushin? Let them do your manual labour."

Naruto pause, blushing a bright red. Why didn't I think of that? 
'Because you're still a moron.' 
'Shut up, Kurama.'

Naruto frowned, pointing an accusing finger at the last living Uchiha. 

"Shut up Teme! Don't talk like that when you've been sitting on the couch I've been pushing all along!"
"I agreed to come here, not to help you," Sasuke said in an annoying tone, his head resting on the couch's  cushions. 

"You weren't forced to come early, you know" muttered the blonde, pouting. 

"Yes he has. And he has to help," chirped Sakura. "Karin blackmailed him."

"What? Really?" asked Naruto as Sasuke turned his head away from his teammates. 

"Yeah. She told me that if he didn't get himself here before the rest of the gang and actually help  us, " said Sakura with a conspiratory tone, "he's going to sleep on the couch for a month."

There was a long tense moment of silence, which was interrupted when Naruto made a whipping sound, complete with a motion accompanying it. 

"So, what's it gonna be Sasuke? Are you going to help us, or will you stay on my sofa to practice for a long, lonely month?" the blonde jinchuuriki said, grinning evily. 

Uchiha Sasuke, the last of his clan, former S-rank missing-nin, then prisoner on probation and now a restored shinobi of Konoha with the rank of Jounin, was mopping the floor of Naruto's room. 
And Sakura was taking pictures with a camera. He had never felt so embarrassed in his life. 

"I really regret returning to the village now," he admitted, blushing a little.

"OI! SASUKE! DON'T SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT!" all the clones shouted in unison, moving various furnishing around. 
The raven-haired boy raised a hand in a silencing gesture. "Shut up Naruto." 

As he said that, Naruto - the real one - was passing near him, carrying a box of overflowing scrolls and books. 

"Naruto, what's with all the books?"

Naruto turned around to respond to him. "Just a few of Fuuinjutsu scrolls tomes that I inherited from Ero-sennin. And all of his unfinished Icha Icha novels."

Taking one last picture of Sasuke, Sakura glared at Naruto, sending a cold shiver down his spines.
"You better not start reading porn in public like Kaka-sensei, Naruto."

"I-I would never do that! I'm only keeping them as a reminder of Ero-sennin, I swear!" Naruto said defensively.

"Yeah right..." muttered Sakura, who started to put the kitchen in order.

"Nevermind the smut books. Did you find anything good in the scrolls?" asked Sasuke, getting curious. 
"I don't know what they're about. I just got them yesterday. Haven't really had any time to study them." 
"Just yesterday, really?"

"Yeah, you know. After Ero-sennins...  death, I didn't really have time to check his things. Too worried about other things." A sad expression flittered over Naruto's face.
