Legacy [ Naruto Reader-Insert ]

The night is dark and the moon is waning, casting dim rays of light over the streets of Konoha. There is an upcoming national holiday, you think but you're not so sure. You don't check your calendar beyond the days of the week, so there aren't any classes for at least four days. Today included.

The three of you sit in Naruto's apartment, huddled up together cross-legged around the only piece of furniture (other than his bed) that he has in his bedroom.

"Why are we here?" You say, arms crossed with a pout on your face. You would have been training alone or reading in your clan's private library, which you are now properly authorized to enter and peruse at your leisure. Or helping Ino out at the flower shop. Okay maybe not that. You don't want to see Father's face for a while.

A long while.

"We're here, having a Council Meeting!" Naruto slaps on the surface of the table for emphasis. He slaps the table a couple times again when he hears no response from you and Sasuke. You make a big show out of rolling your eyes in the laziest way possible (you're starting to think you hang out with Shikamaru way too much).

Sasuke moves in his seat and crosses an arm over his other, face dark with irritation. He doesn't seem to appreciate the Uzumaki boy's attempt on trying to figure the little feud that he has with you, "This is a waste of time, dobe. What is this 'Council Meeting' supposed to address? And who's part of the Council?"

The both of you have not talked ever since his violent actions in class that day and you actively ignored him whenever he tried to approach you.

You also honestly didn't expect Sasuke to turn up, but he did.

Naruto has on a shoddily made white robe and hat that you think is supposed to be the Hokage's hat and white robes, he must have DIY-ed them himself based on the needlework that was fraying at the seams and ends. You remind yourself to do it for him after this 'Council Meeting' is over.

He slams his palm on the table once in a way he assumes to be authoritative, "I'm your Hokage now so settle down and listen to me."

He eyes both you and Sasuke, then continuing, " 'Naka-chan, please tell me what grie-vances you have that is caused by Sasuke-teme." Naruto crosses his arms and nods gravely, waiting for you to say your piece. You laugh when you notice he was trying to be the Hokage. The old man voice that he is currently doing makes you want to laugh so hard that snot comes out from your nose.

You're a good shinobi, so you compose yourself, face passive and posture upright in seiza.

"It's pronounced grievances, you idiot." Sasuke says, snipping under his breath.

"Silence in the council!" Naruto slams his palm on the table and makes a face at Sasuke, turning to look at you, waiting for a response.

You look at the dark expression starting to form on Sasuke's face and you're starting to think that this wasn't a good idea. Putting all three of you in a room together, alone, with no adult supervision is a dangerous thing. And not for the wrong reasons either. It's like feeding concentrated oxygen to an already blazing bonfire.

"Uhhhhh," You say.

Sasuke has enough of it and he slams his fist down, sending the small table flying, "You're a bad Hokage! An idiot like you doesn't deserve the position."

"W-what?! How DARE you!" Naruto splutters, sounding offended and makes a lunge for Sasuke. They start grappling and it sends objects flying around the room. All hell breaks lose.
