Deal with Sasuke

(First PoV)

"Divide your chakra equally, make the handsign, and-"

"Multi-Shadow Clones Jutsu!"

I was pleasantly surprised by Naruto performing the Multi-Shadow Clones Jutsu so easily.

"Naruto, you are a genius!"

I patted his head, and fed him a poisonous herb to build his resistance. I have, of course, gotten it from Hiruzen.

"Bleh, it's bitter."

He complained, but still chewed on it.

"It's necessary, Naruto. A mosquito can take out a Kage level ninja. You are very special to me, and I don't want anything bad happening to you."

Afterall, Shisui was taken out by a mosquito poison. Third Kazekage, was also taken out by poison.

While Naruto probably wouldn't die from any sort of poison due to Kurama, even a momentary weakness during a fight may cause his death.

Afterall, a kid stabbed Sasuke's Rinnegan, with a kunai.

When I get Sasuke's eyes that he will discard for Itachi's eyes, I will make sure that the one eye Naruto will have must have some sort of protection.

"Alright. Go and train with Karin. I will start cooking breakfast. What do you want to eat today?"

"Hmm, something with egg?"

"Omelette Rolls then?"

"Yeah."

"Alright, my Naruto. Here is a bonus for being so cool."

I kissed him on the forehead, and saw him off the house, grinning.

It's 4am right now. I guess I also need to get to work. Naruto can't be the only one working hard.

I looked at the map that I had drawn yesterday.

The 500kg of gold has been already deposited in my account, and Hiashi has handed me over the documents of the land in the centre of the market area.

If such a weak clan like Hyuga has so much wealth, I can't even imagine how much wealth Uchiha clan, the strongest in the world, is waiting for me to gobble it all.

Well, I am not too greedy. I will not touch Sasuke's house, a training ground, the lake, and the Naka river, and important buildings like Uchiha clan's library.

Anyway, back at the plot of land. It is a 2km×600m plot, right in the middle of the market. There are stores on it, which are basically rented out by ordinary shopkeepers.

I guess the Hyuga clan is too proud to run the stores themselves.

Hmm, I will have those stores demolished, and create a big mall and theme park.

Since Land of Rain and Roran can build skyscrapers, creating a multi-storey mall would not be too difficult.

The problem is, the rest of the market wouldn't be too happy with my mall taking away all their business.

The Civilian Council, which was involved in a lot of Naruto Banishment fanfics, is actually present in the village, formed after Kurama's attack.

Hiruzen was probably afraid that the Fire Daimyo will be a dick, just like the daimyos of Land of Wind and Water. That's why he is slowly making the village self-reliant.

I guess he had to compromise and create the council.

Despite his lack of strength and weakening the village during his tenure, in which he had a hand in, directly and indirectly, he does have some insight.

Anyway, all of this will take atleast a month to build, and in that time, I will just hire the shopkeepers to open their shops inside the mall itself.

Construction work is really fast in this world. If Tazuna can build a bridge connecting Land of Fire and Land of Waves in a month, ninjas shouldn't take too much time.

Sadly, I can't use Yamato to do it all for free right now.

Well, I guess I should start planning, for the theme park first. Naruto's birthday is in about a month. It will be a perfect date celebration spot.

I will name it, Uzumaki Park.

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

We arrived at the Academy. I, Naruto and Karin sat with Sakura, Shikamaru and Chouji, like always. Karin now sits on Sasuke's seat.

That damn Sasuke sat near Naruto.

Sasuke will probably come to the Academy today, after two months of absence.

I looked at Hinata's seat in the front row near the gate.

I will have Sasuke sit near her. While Hinata isn't THAT much of a stuttering mess because Hizashi didn't die and Neji doesn't overly hate her, probably, she is still quite shy.

After a while, Sasuke actually arrived.

While the girls aren't THAT crazy over him because he can't do shit against my Naruto, he still has a lot of admirers.

He ignored them, and approached us. Specifically, Naruto.

"Fight me!"

Naruto grabbed his collar, and threw him out of the window. Sasuke fell down from the first floor with a thud.

"I wonder who that weirdo was?"

Naruto muttered. Oh. It seems like he has forgotten him after not seeing him for about two months. Not like he remembered his name anyway.

After a while, Sasuke arrived again, covered in dirt.

"Fight me seriously!"

He had his two-tomoe Sharingan activated. Oh. So it seems Sasuke needs to be relatively close to Naruto in power huh. As if it is the intervention of some fate bullshit.

I slammed my hand on the bench, and glared at him, staring into his Sharingan.

"Who do you think you are? Do you think I will allow the younger brother of a mass murderer come close to us?"

He flinched, and many people in the class looked at him in fear and distrust.

Controlling a class of kids, ahem, the next generation of Konoha, is so easy. They don't want to be excluded from getting my manga. They think that since those who treated Naruto badly don't get free manga now, so they are the bad guys. While adults certainly have influence on kids, kids their age are more influential.

"Shoo! Go sit on that seat in the corner. If you want to challenge my Naruto, prepare 10,000 ryo. And it will double for every next challenge.

We don't have time for people from trashy clan like Uchiha. It only took a 13 year old kid to wipe out the clan, and he left his younger brother and girlfriend alive, didn't even spare infants and pregnant women?

Hyuga clan is truly the strongest clan of Konoha."

I threw a paper ball at him, and following my example, many kids started doing the same.

"Brother of murderer!"

A kid shouted, and I glared at him. He is making me look like the leader of bullies.

"Who do you think you guys are to use me as your way to release your frustration!? I am not going to do anything when this guy comes for revenge against you for bullying him. Even though he isn't anything in front of my Naruto, he can still beat you all up alone."

I looked at Sasuke mockingly.

"Don't even try to approach my Naruto without being prepared to pay for wasting our time. Challenge those guys if you really need someone to fight. We don't have the need and time to entertain you."

My words triggered Sasuke, and Sasuke started beating up everyone else in the class.

"Aah!"

"Save me!"

"I didn't even say anything!"

Just as Sasuke ran towards Hinata, Iruka-sensei appeared and apprehended Sasuke.

"Let me go! I need to get stronger for my revenge!"

Chaos ensured, and other teachers also arrived to calm down Sasuke.

Tsk... Itachi cares about Sasuke? Yeah right. He has made Sasuke crazy by torturing him and putting him into coma for two months straight.

After a while, Sasuke calmed down, and sat beside Hinata.

Well, I want Hinata to be aware of the dangers of getting close to this guy. I do want them to marry and produce a kid with Jougan because it is somehow necessary for the plot of Burrito, but I am not cruel enough to push her into becoming a single mother with Sasuke like this.

I do hope that Izumi will fix him. She is gentle girl, so I think she will take good care of him.

Today, there was no sparring match due to Sasuke's outburst.

After the Academy ended, I approached Ino, who has been opposing me in the class.

"Ino, I want a favour."

"What do you want!?"

"Sasuke is a danger to my Naruto, and is not right in the head. Can you ask the Yamanaka clan head to provide him therapy? I will pay with the money Sasuke will pay for challenging Naruto."

She scoffed at me.

"Oh. A bully is being caring-"

"You call me a bully? Where was this attitude of yours when everyone was avoiding Naruto? Calling him names? Weren't you one of those too?"

She turned silent, looking guilty.

"Look, it's not like I care or hate Sasuke. While I think he has gone through a lot, he is the brother of Itachi. He came to my shop just a day before the massacre, and he seemed like a gentle guy.

Madara was also the founder of Konoha.

And I heard that the Kyuubi was controlled by the Sharingan, by an Uchiha.

Uchihas are mentally ill people, and I just tested Sasuke today.

And, he is mentally ill. And his target is Naruto, because he is jealous of his power.

Will you request your father to personally provide him therapy? I will, of course, pay from the money I get from Sasuke."

She sighed, and nodded.

"Alright. I will ask Daddy."

"Thanks."

She grumbled something incomprehensible, and left.

"You can come out now. Or, do you want to avoid paying by making Naruto beat you up for stalking me?"

I turned around, and Sasuke came out from the corner of the building.

Oh. He was actually stalking me?

"Is the Uchiha clan really mentally ill?"

He questioned me.

"Of course. All clan which have dojutsu are mentally ill. They think that they are the strongest, are arrogant, yet the Uchiha kills their own family for gaining power, and Hyuga enslaves it's own family to retain power for the weak.

It took three whole ninja villages to massacre the Uzumaki clan. And Uchiha, just a 13 year old kid.

Give up. An Uchiha will never surpass the Uzumaki in any way.

You will never surpass my Naruto. Don't even think about it.

My Naruto will be far stronger than Itachi by the age of 13-14.

Though, I wouldn't mind if you occassionally spar with Naruto, now that you have awakened the Sharingan.

But, you will need to agree to all my conditions."

I handed him a scroll, which has my conditions stated.

1. Take personal therapy from Yamanaka Clan Head all life, even after killing Itachi.

2. Prove that he is a functional human by taking Hinata Hyuga and other girls (excluding Sakura and Karin, who are family to Shiori and Naruto) on dates, and be the model for Shiori's clothing brand in the future with Hinata.

3. Pay 10,000 Ryo for each challenge, and the price for wasting Naruto's time will keep doubling.

4. No stalking.

5. This is a purely transactional business. No friendship or anything.

6. Will have to do one thing in the future after killing Itachi without questioning. It will not harm him or anyone in the village.

7. Don't even think about harming Naruto and his friends.

8. Swear by the name of Uchiha.

While such a contract can be easily called null and void by the Hokage or anyone, Sasuke is too prideful to go back on the conditions he has already agreed to.

Sasuke didn't think much about the conditions. He was a little concerned about what she wanted him to do after he killed Itachi, but after killing Itachi, nothing really mattered to him. What concerned him more was taking girls on dates and therapy.

Still, he thought that fighting Naruto will really make him stronger. If what she said is true, that Uzumaki clan took three villages to get massacred, and considering Naruto's strength, he thought that it might be true that Naruto is really from a very powerful clan, possibly the only survivor, just like him.

Bregrudgingly, he accepted.

"Alright. I agree."

"Why should I trust you? Uchiha are infamous for breaking their promise and murdering their friends and acquaintances."

"What do you want me to do then!?"

In the Naruto world, there isn't anything to make sure that the deals are followed, except for mutual interests and strength.

Maybe Uzumakis had a seal? Well, I don't really know.

Maybe some sort of curse seal? That's possible.

Anyway, I took out a scroll, with the conditions written with my blood infused ink.

"Sign it with your blood. If you go against the contract, the God of Contracts, a diety of the Uzumaki clan like the Shinigami, will deliver your soul to the Shinigami, and it's worse than death. You can spar with Shinigami for eternity.

And tearing the contract will automatically be taken as you violating the Contract. You are free to find loopholes in the future though. I don't care what happens to you."

I am totally making it up. But how will Sasuke know anyway?

He gulped, and looked at the contents of the contract carefully. Checking and rechecking several times.

Then, he had a determined expression, bit his finger, and wrote his name with his own blood.

Then, he shoved the scroll at me.

"Uchiha isn't a clan of murderers. And I am not like Itachi. I will prove you wrong!"

He declared, and left.

Well... the deal with Sasuke is closed.

"Shiori-chan, is there really a God of Contracts?"

Naruto jumped down from the rooftop, landing beside me.

I shrugged.

"Who knows?"

I definitely don't know.

Happy Diwali!

I will release another chapter today.
