Let the Romance begin..
The rings of an alarm clock rings out,Naruto doesn't immedietly awaken until...CRASH!! Glass litters Naruto's bed and the floor,"Sorry!!" Came a girl's voice as a girl with chocolate brown eyes leaped up to the window of his bedroom,Naruto was sitting up picking the glass out of his hair,he looked around.
"What the crap just hit me...?" Naruto said as he looked around,he found a spiked ball on a chain sitting next to him.
"Sorry." Tenten said again,"Huh?" Naruto looked at the window and found a girl sitting in Naruto's window. Tenten gathered her weapon and leaped back down to the village path and continued on to the training field.Naruto of course dressed himself in his usual clothes and did his usual morning things...He walked to the training field and noticed Kakashi reading his book,while Maito Gai Yells in his ear about Youth and what-all,Lee was also yelling in Neji's ear about Youth while Tenten stood back and watched..Naruto walked up beside Tenten,"Good morning to you too." Naruto said remembering their earlier incident.
"Oh...good morning,Sorry..about that." Tenten said, "It's okay." Naruto said.
After a long hard day of training,
and watched Tenten and the others train,Gai and Lee weren't around so It was just Neji and Tenten..during a sparring match,Tenten was worn out and she raised her hand to stop,but Neji kept charging,Tenten tried to say "stop",but she was frightened and her lips wouldn't move.
"Oh man...This is gonna hurt..!" Tenten thought as she fell to her knees. Right as the attack came she closed her eyes after a moment of nothing she looked up,"Don't you dare hurt her! Got that!? If you hurt her,I will kill you!!" Naruto Growled at Neji,Tenten looked up and seen Naruto has his hand between Neji's Gentle fist
and Tenten's crying form,Neji took his hand away from Naruto and walked away brooding,Naruto turned around and kneeled down to Tenten,"You alright,Tenten?" Naruto asked looking into her eyes...she was still crying over how frightened she was,"Don't cry,Tenten,its alright." Naruto said while he wiped a tear from her. Naruto embraced the bun haired girl while she cried into his shoulder, Naruto patted her on the back,"There,there,Tenten." She stopped crying and looked up at Naruto,"Th-thankyou!"She cried upset,she burried her head in his chest while she blushed. Naruto just smiled while slightly blushing,Tenten looked up and kissed Naruto gently on the lips,"I think we've found a love,that we never known had existed." Tenten said after the kiss,"Yes,We have." Naruto said.
Naruto helps Tenten up,and walks her back home,still holding his hand Tenten turned to face Naruto and they mutually hold eachother's hands. Naruto kisses Tenten briefly on the lips,Tenten blushed and went inside.
Whilst Naruto walked home too.
-Sakura-
"I know a way to get Sasuke to like me!" Sakura said while walking through the streets. An old woman walks up,"Sakura Haruno?" She said in a haggard voice. "Yes.." Sakura said, looking at the old woman,whose stature barely came up to her knee,"Come in,come in." The old woman said. They entered the old woman's home and it looked like a store. The old woman pulled out a vial of pink liquid,"This is a love potion." She explained,"Bust this on the ground,and Your love of the opposite Gender is near,he will love you for the rest of his life." The old lady says.
Sakura takes it,"Thankyou!" She says,"Yes,yes." The old woman said.
Sakura walked home afterwards.
-Time skip,Tommorrow-
Naruto is already prowling the streets for Tenten,whom he seemed to miss more and more every second. Meanwhile Tenten was walking the streets because training was cancelled thanks to Lee injuring himself. She bumped into Sakura Haruno carrying a small vial of pink liquid.
Naruto looked up just in time to see this and started to run over to Tenten. But the Vial exploded and Sakura,Tenten,and Naruto were ingulfed in the fumes. Naruto carried Tenten out of the cloud while Sakura stumbled out like a drunkard.
"Ugh...Where am I?" Sakura said after clearing her head,As she said that..she began feeling strange feelings for Naruto,Like she loved him. Tenten carried by Naruto was feeling an even stronger connection to her beloved,Naruto and vice-versa for Him. Sakura stumbled home to lay down and rest,while Naruto and Tenten went Dating the whole day.
The couple somehow ended up on a hill outside the villlage walls sitting on a Blanket Naruto had brought and watching a sunset together.
"I love you so much,Naruto-kun." Tenten said almost in a dreamy state. "I love you so much,I would give my life for you,so you could live." Naruto said poetically. "I wouldn't let you,my beloved,I would kill myself to be with you if it came to that." Tenten said looking up at Naruto who was holding her while she was cuddled up against his shoulder watching the sun set with him. "Tenten,I...have to tell you something." Naruto said looking down. "Yes,What is it my beloved?" Tenten asked,looking up at her precious boyfriend. "I...I was sent a letter of acceptence as an Anbu Black ops." Naruto said. Tenten gently layed her hands on his cheeks and kissed him softly.
"Then I will strive to fight along side you." Tenten said looking into his eyes.
-Timeskip,5 years later,Konoha Hokage tower of Tsunade.-
Chapter two:Love behind the mask.
"Anbu captain,Here is your new squad." Tsunade said trying to look serious but doing very poorly hiding her drunkeness.
"Yes,Lady Hokage." Said the young Anbu Captain.
That morning,Tenten readied her self for becoming an Anbu...already forgotten about her Former Boyfriend...Since she had been sent a letter about him being lost on a patrol.
She looked at the letter again,With teary eyes...Remembering the romantic nights they had spent on dates and being happy,She never knew happiness again after losing Naruto.
She walked to a Konoha bridge leading to the Memorial,and awaited her Captain
She waited and he showed up quickley in a flicker. She could make out Blonde hair behind the Wolf like mask,but decided not to ask.
"Hello,New Anbu,I think you'll make a great addition to the Black ops,Yet we need to get you a uniform." He said,eyeing the Pink sleevless Tai-Chi top and loose ninja pants she was wearing.
"So you're my Captain,You like to get to the point,Dont ya?" She asked him noticing his irritation at being here she asked again,"You don't want to be here,do ya?" She asked before he could get a word out.
"Well...I like to sleep in a little later than We're supposed to,and I do sometimes break the Anbu rules." The Anbu Captain said.
The Anbu captain pulled out a clip-board,"Now we're just missing,Inuzuka Kiba."
He said,just as a wild looking boy walked up with a white dog on his head.
"Yo...Are you Anbu Captain of squad 4?" He Asked.
"Yes...Now...Out of any circumstances are we to reveal our names,We will be killed.."The young Anbu Captain said.
Tenten Shifted around nervously and Kiba kind of backed off a little while the little Akamaru hid in his Jacket.
"Now,Since this is your first day as unofficial Anbu Blackops,We won't do any training or missions today." The Captain said once again.
"However,You will recieve Anbu training manuals by a Ninja courier." The Captain continued,"Dismissed." He said,He turned to leave,But felt a tap on his shoulder.
"Hm?" He said as he turned around,Eyeing Tenten again.
"May..I know your name?" Tenten asked looking into the small eye-holes of the mask.
The Anbu captain lifted up his mask revealing,the face of her former beloved.
"N...Naruto!?" She said in disbelief,And then embracing Him.
Naruto smiled and said,"Well,Someone remembers me." He said.
"What happened,I thought you...you.." She trailed off,"Died?" Naruto completed her sentence,"I was mortally wounded in the fight..But I was saved when my Captain put me into a Chakra induced Coma." Naruto said,"I didn't wake up until a year ago." He said smiling,"The first thing I said was,"Where's Tenten!?" "
Tenten smiled and embraced her Beloved again.
"I didn't know happiness when I thought you died...I almost killed myself,But I was hospitallized." Tenten said becoming teary-eyed.
Naruto knelt down a little to her height and kissed her gently on the forehead.
Tenten blushed and looked happily into his blue eyes.
She began crying tears of happiness into his shoulder,"Its alright Tenten,I'm here,Everything's okay now." Naruto said patting his beloved's back.
Tenten burried her head in her beloved's chest and blushed feeling his warmth through his Anbu armour.
"I love you more than the day we parted." Tenten said,In a dream like state.
"It was crushing without you for so long,Just your thought kept me going and even helped me through that coma." Naruto said slightly blushing.
"I'm glad to be in your arms again,My beloved." Tenten Said while embracing her beloved and crying into his chest out of happiness.
"I love you...I love you so much..."Naruto said,"I don't have the words for just explaining it." Naruto said.
They walked hand and hand back to Tenten's home which was across the village away from her parents.
Sakura awoke on her bed,but realizing that Naruto was taken,the love potion became dorment and the first sight of a man she knew by name would cause the potion to re-activate.
But for now,She was normal and tried to sleep again.
Across the Village...Sasuke waited impatiently for his new girlfriend to get ready for their date,Since Naruto dissappeared,Hinata took a liking to Sasuke.
Sasuke,who actually liked Hinata.
Naruto Meanwhile,Walked home in a daze.
Walking the streets not paying attention to anyone or anything for he was to busy thinking about his beloved.
A chuunin thug attacked him,"Hey! Punk! Gimme all your ryo!" He yelled.
Naruto still wasn't paying attention,so the chuunin ran up to kick his head off,"Ooooh,A Ryo coin." He kneeled down and picked it up while the chuunin thug flew into the side of a house.
Time skip-Next day-
Naruto made his way to the training field for sparring today.
Tenten was watching the sparring match,But,Naruto was yet again distracted.
"Hey,Dobe,Why don't you just give up." Sasuke taunted,but Naruto wasn't listening.
Sasuke ran up to punch Naruto,"Ooooh,A blue-bird." he said swaying to the side to see it,while Sasuke ran past him and almost fell on Kakashi.
"Why you!" Sasuke yelled,"Oooooh...A coy fish." Naruto said,distractedly while walking over to the pond.
"Fire style:Phoenix Flower Jutsu!" Sasuke yelled while preforming hand-seals.
The fire flowers flew at Naruto while a Coy fish splashed from the water and put the fires out.
Sasuke charges at him to kick off his head,"Oooh...Another Ryo coin." Naruto said while bending down to pick it up,Sasuke tripped over him and fell to the ground,Naruto was tired of standing so he sat down,stupidly on Sasuke.
"Uhh...Winner,Naruto?" Kakashi said confused.
Tenten just clapped,surpressing a laugh of Sasuke being humiliated without Naruto lifting a fingure.
She walked over and sat down beside Naruto who was watching Kakashi with his new students,train.
"Nice job,Naruto-kun." Tenten said smiling while slightly blushing.
"Thanks,Ten-Hime." Naruto said,giving his full attention to her.
Naruto sighs,"I don't deserve such a...kind and beautiful girlfriend." Naruto said after a moment.
Tenten smiles,"Listen Naru-kun,You are the only one for me,To not be in love,would be like Kami being evil." Tenten says cheering her beloved up.
Naruto smiles and looks at Tenten,
"Ten-hime,I will protect you,always,No matter what." Naruto said looking confidently at her.
"Naruto-kun,I love you so much...And,if you asked me who I liked before the training incident,I would've said Neji...But,Now I see that was a mistake." Tenten
Said,looking at Naruto with charming eyes.
"Hey! Naruto!" Rock Lee yelled from a distance.
"Bushy-brow,What is it!?" Naruto yelled back in surprise.
"Its Lady Tsunade,She...she...Keeled over." Lee said,exhaustedly.
the two anbu and the single Chuunin leaped and dashed to the Hokage tower,Which stood Genma and Raido looking at the dead body of Tsunade.
"She's dead,We can't help her now." Genma said,with the blade of grass in his mouth.
Raido looked at the three ninja that just entered,He recognised Tenten and Lee,but not the Blonde,spikey haired,Boy that came with them,but he was wearing a Leaf headband,so He dismissed him as a konohagakure ninja.
"DIE!!" Came a harsh voice and the windows of the Hokage's room smashed in and in came Mizuki,the rogue chuunin and several genin gang members.
Naruto formed hand-seals and suddenly his Anbu armour appeared on him and so did his mask and Katana.
"Mizuki,Stop in the name of Konohagakure Anbu Black ops division!" Naruto growled at him.
"Peh,Foolish Anbu." Mizuki Taunted,brandishing a crudely made Ono or Japanese axe.
One of the Genin gang members threw a kunai which missed all three of them,Lee charged in and kicked him in the face and smashed him into the east wall of the room.
Tenten ran at Mizuki with a Katana and clashed blade to axe with him.
"Foolish girl!" He yelled and broke the clash and swung the axe,Naruto appeared between them and grabbed the axe with his bear hand,holding his katana he swung it and slashed his side,He screamed in pain.
"You brat!" He yelled swinging his axe,hitting Tenten in the side,Naruto watched as she fell slowly to the ground.
Naruto began to get really angry and started relentlessly beating Mizuki untill he died. He then kneeled down to Tenten's unconscious form,Using his own medical ninjutsu taught to him in the early years as an Anbu.
"Genma-sensei,Get a medical nin,she won't last long even with this treatment." Naruto said to one of his former Anbu captains.
After a few minutes,Two medical ninja appeared and lifted Tenten onto a stretcher.
Lee was busy beating the living chakra out of the Genin gang members.
Naruto followed the medical nin.
As he ran to the hospital and waited in the..waiting room,Sasuke walked in arm and arm with Hinata,"Hey,Idiot,Heard your girlfriend was in here." Sasuke said cooly.
"Yeah..." Naruto said half to himself...as he looked out the window waiting..
"Naruto,We came to wait with you,Its hard to have someone close to you,become injured..or die..I know the latter part." Hinata started and Sasuke completed her after,"you".
Sasuke sat down beside Naruto,"You heard anything about her yet?" Sasuke questioned him.
"Not yet...And that's worrying me." Naruto said...
Sakura dressed as a Medical Ninja entered through a door on the farside of the room.
"Mr.Uzumaki and company." She called out as several of the former Genin that had arrived for Naruto's sake,Shikamaru and Temari,Sasuke and Hinata,Neji and Ino,Choji,surprisingly Gaara along with his brother Kankuro,Maito Gai,Lee.
She looked around,"Uhh...follow me.." She stammered.
Naruto started to walk through the door,when he opened the door there was a brick wall,"Where did this brick wall come from?" He asked.
Sasuke whispered into Hinata's ear,"I'll never tell." He joked.
The whole group followed Sakura down an opposite door,They crouded into Tenten's room,Tenten was laying in her bed,Looking ashamed.
Naruto immedietly took the seat nearest to Tenten.
"I'm sorry,I should've seen it coming..." Tenten trailed off..
"Shh...Not another word,just rest." Naruto comforted her.
"Yes...you're too good to me." She said,looking at Naruto,having an enlightened look in her eyes.
"I temporarily gave up the title of Hokage..For two years,to go training." He said,without anyone hearing.
"I'll come with you." Tenten said,looking deeply into Naruto's eyes.
After a week of recovery,without anyone's notice,the two ran away from Konohagakure,Never looking back,Because they decided to start a village of their own. During the long journey to do so,along the paths,Tenten stole glances at her beloved.
Naruto did the same,Running through small village after small village,recruiting Ninja,even recruiting a few Konohagakure ninja. Namely a Lazy Shikamaru,One Neji Hyuuga,One Sasuke Uchiha and surprisingly Rock Lee.
They finally found a good place and began work building a village.
After a few days,a small village sprang up,and a tower in the center of the village,home of the Kamikage,Naruto's made up name after the Japanese god Kami.
And in the balcony stood,Naruto and Tenten holding hands,While watching the first few villagers set to work building,farming and other village activities,Tenten runs a local weapons shop,Naruto helps teach the Ninja academy students.
Neji Hyuuga sat on his knees behind them with Shikamaru in front of him and beside him sat Rock Lee.Sasuke sat beside Neji...The four being the kamikage's advisors.Rock Lee,Taijutsu Teacher at the Ninja academy and Military commander,Neji,Kekkei Genkai Classes for the gifted at the Academy,and General Advisor,Sasuke, Ninja tactics Teacher at the Academy and Military Tactician.
And Finally,Shikamaru,Shadow specialist Teacher at the Academy,Stratigist and Lead council member.
"Lord Kamikage,a ninja from Konohagakure is coming,he is 10 kilometers away."
Neji said looking at Naruto,wearing the robe of Yondaime Hokage.
"Shall I take a number of Jonin and apprehend the ninja?" Rock Lee asked.
"No,Let him approach,let's see his intentions." Naruto said after a moment of thinking.
"So troublesome,Why don't we go with Rock Lee's plan? Or plant a trap outside the village in his most likely path?" Shikamaru said,after a moment.
Sasuke sat listening.
A Konohagakure Ninja wearing a Chuunin vest and Jonin under clothes,His Head-band covering his left eye arrived at the village gates.
"Now,where's the Kage tower?" He asked himself,He walked to the center of the village where a tower stood.
"Hey,Naruto,Why don't we stop this charade?" Kakashi said to Naruto.
Naruto looked grimly down at him.
Neji,Walked up to the Balcony,"If I may,Lord Kamikage?" Neji asked.
"Go ahead." Naruto said sternly.
"Konohagakure Shinobi,Address my lord as "Lord Kamikage"."
Neji said down to Kakashi.
"Right...Anywho,Kamikage,Come back to the village...We beg you." Kakashi said with a rather forced tone.
"I have something to give you Kakashi of Konohagakure." Naruto said lightly.
He pulls out his former Konoha head-band,And threw it at Kakashi,as did his advisors...all of them hit Kakashi or layed on his head.
Kakashi stood there looking embarassed with the head-bands at his feet and on his head.
Naruto chuckled slightly and pointed behind him,Kakashi turned around and seen a store full of all the Icha Icha books ever created.
His eyes go wide and white anime style as he immedietly runs over to the window of the shop.
"Am I in heaven!?" He yells,His voice breaking.
Naruto chuckles again,"One catch,You have to be a Ninja of the village hidden in the flames." He says confidently.
"ANYTHING!! Just name it!!" He Yells again.
"Same old pervy Kakashi." Naruto whispers to Tenten.
She chuckles at the comment.
Rock Lee walks up beside Tenten and Naruto.
"Kakashi Sensei,We know you well enough to know that you are already accepted into the ranks of the Flame Village Ninja." Lee said.
"Uhh...One question,Is this village self-sufficent?" Kakashi asked.
"Yes,We also have the aid of the Hidden Sound,Sand,Rain and Mist villages." Naruto stated.
"I see.." Kakashi said incredulously.
Tenten wearing an icy blue colored kimono decorated with red roses,and using a Japanese fan to hide her face.
Kakashi could scarcely believe that the two genin he once known now look more wise and contempt than they were.
