I Still Trust You

By: Mishka-chan

Naruto parted from the swarming crowds of congratulatory citizens and comrades, and strode away from the gathering and out toward the bridge. He knew he was here, he had to be.

"Congratulations," called a deep voice.

"Sasuke!" Naruto called turning around. "I thought you hadn't come." he mumbled, blue eyes looking up apologetically.

"Of course I came, I promised you that if you ever became Hokage I would come to the inaugural party," here there was a pregnant pause "here I am."

"Sasuke," Naruto called softly. "Thank you. I know you didn't want to come."

"No, I wanted to come for you." Naruto smiled.

"Hokage-sama," a ANBU called.

"Sasuke, how have you been?"

"Hokage-sama, your speech."

"Naruto, I think your flock is waiting."

"Huh," he turned and looked at the ANBU. "You were calling for me?"

"Hai, Hokage-sama."

"Seems the Hokage is denser than most genin..." Sasuke smirked.

"AH! Shut up Sasuke-teme!"

"Go give your speech, dobe." Naruto scowled, and then smiled brightly.

Naruto gulped and strode up the stairs to Hokage tower. Turning toward Sasuke he asked, "accompany me?"

Sasuke sighed and pushed himself off the railing heading toward the top of the stairs where Naruto stood. "Give me your courage, Sasuke." Naruto asked before stepping toward the railing at the top suddenly all of the chattering stopped.

"Hey guys, I don't have a speech, but I suppose that is to be expected of me. I am sure every single one of you have heard me screaming about being Hokage since I could speak, so you already know about all I feel about this position. I hope you know I love this village, and the people in it. I do, and I know that my love for you, my precious people, has driven me to become stronger in my hopes to protect you. Sandaime-sama was one of my greatest inspriations in this and like Yondaime-sama, I had always hoped to be a hero to you. I do however realize that I am of better use to you alive than dead... so I will try my hardest to stay alive, while managing to eliminate any threat to you. This is also I suppose why I have to choose a guard. So this brings me to the climax of this speech. I refuse to be Hokage, unless, of course Uchiha Sasuke is by my side. I can not trust anyone more than I trust him, and so I digress. Will you accept Sasuke-teme?"

"First of all you don't call people 'teme' right after you appoint them as your protector, you never know what might happen in your sleep, and second of all, there is no one I wish to protect more Hokage-sama." Sasuke kneeled before him.

"Thank you, Sasuke." Naruto reached down with his hand to help Sasuke up. On which Sasuke pulled.

Right at that time eight shuriken flew right where Naruto had been. "Wow, you take your job seriously." Chuckled to hide his surprise.

"Let me take care of this scum."

"Have at it, Sasuke."

"Is that an order?"

"Of course." Sasuke leapt from the tower and flipped several times over and landed gracefully on the ground.

"Teme, don't you dare get killed."

"You never have to worry about that, dobe." In a split second, Sasuke's swords were drawn and he was running in the direction that the trajectory of the shuriken had implied. In one slice the perpertrator was felled.

"I am going to leave you alive." Sasuke murmured. "but don't get excited. You are living for torture."

"Someone take this trash to Ibiki." Sasuke said and jumped back and focusing the chakra in his feet and legs he leaped up the Hokage tower to Naruto's side. "Thank god your safe, Naruto-kun." Sasuke whispered.

"Keep appearances up." Tsunade whispered beside him.

"Someone didn't want me." Naruto whispered. "Someone didn't want me to protect them."

"There are always fools, Naruto." Sasuke whispered again.

"Yeah me," Naruto said. "Sasuke, haven't I tried hard enough? To please them, haven't I?"

"You've done more than enough, Naruto. Come on, let's get to work. You've had a long day, an hour

or two should do it. Then we'll go home."

"Yeah, okay..."

"I'll treat you to ramen..."

"Mmm, sounds good."

They turned and entered the Hokage office. Naruto sat in his chair and sighed.

Suddenly a poof annouced the arrival of Naruto's former sensei, Hatake Kakashi. "Yo,"

"You're late!" Naruto screamed and then paused. "Wait, no you aren't."

"Hokage-sama, the council wishes to see you. As does Jaraiya, who wishes to accompany you."

"Call me Naruto, it's weird to hear you call me Hokage-sama. Let's go Sasuke."

"Hai, Hokage-sama." Naruto stood and followed Kakashi to Jaraiya's side, Sasuke tagging along just behind Naruto.

Naruto busted through the front doors of the councilroom.

"You wanted to speak to me?" Naruto said. Sasuke could see every councilman in the room stiffen at Naruto's presence.

"Good Afternoon, Rokudaime. You do understand that our choice to make you, the vessal for Kyuubi no Kitsune, our Hokage was a difficult step for us. However, due to the resistence during your inauguration we may have to impeach you."

"You can't do that!" Sasuke shouted.

"Quiet, Uchiha Sasuke."

"He's right, you can't do that, you don't have the power. The Hokage is under the jurisdiction of the ninja society. The most powerful ninja in the land. The only thing you can do is hire ninja to attempt to bring my downfall or possibly hold a tournament with those within the village. You cannot take my title away from me after the inauguration. In other words, you are trying to scare me into quitting."

"You want the best for the people of Konoha, correct? Quite a few have spoken and said that they did not trust you as a Hokage, they would rather have your teammate, Haruno Sakura, in that position."

"That is not what the people want! That is what you want, someone you think you can control. As for their trust, whether or not they know it, or acknowledge it, I am the best for them. Therefore I will not resign, simply because I have my demons, we all have demons it is just mine is village wide knowledge."

"It's not that they don't trust the beast, they don't trust you! It's you they don't trust." For a second Sasuke saw the tough facade Naruto kept up slip and then grow hard.

"I still trust you." Sasuke whispered.

"As do I," Kakashi acknowledged.

"And I," Jaraiya spoke.

"I WILL NOT RESIGN!"

"Well then one other problem we have."

"What is it?"

"Your nomination of Uchiha Sasuke, we doubt the wisdom of it."

"State your reasons."

"His betrayal of Konoha, his betrayal of you."

"He was twelve, confused, and brainwashed."

"He tried to kill you."

"He didn't, though."

"If you did not have the regenative powers of the Kyuubi, you would be dead."

"He could've killed me, but he didn't."

"He could still harbor ill will for you."

"Believe me if he did, I would be dead. That is all I am saying, Sasuke is the only one I would trust with my life. I am sorry to say that I would not trust any of you not even out of battle. Of all of my shinobi, he is not the only I would trust in battle, but he is the only I would trust if I was wounded and needed to be protected, to do so, and also take down my enemy. I would want Sasuke by my side constantly. Even though he has done some really stupid things, and made some really bad choices, I still trust him. I hate to say it, but I trust him more than Sakura-chan, Kakashi-sensei, and Ero-sennin."

"I still trust you, Sasuke."

"Thank you, Naruto-kun." Sasuke whispered.

A/N: Wow, I will do better next time. I hope... this is a chapter story! I THANK YOU "FIVESHADESOFORANGE"
