"Kyuubi Talking"

'Kyuubi Thinking'

Naruto got up at about 6 o' clock, got dressed and etc… Being packed already he started off towards the main gate to find Sakura on the other street about to be there. He slowed down and came to a halt a few feet in front of Konoha's gates, turned around and asked "You ready Sakura?". Coming out of a trance she replied with a "Yeah, let's go" and off they sped. Naruto was anxious to get to Sasuke and his Speed of light ability started to kick in accidentaly. Sakura didn't notice because she was still thinking about how the mission would turn out. Eventually she stopped hearing Naruto's footsteps and looked up to see him like 30 yards ahead, surprised she yelled "Naruto slow down!" Naruto noticing what happened stopped putting chakra to his feet and fell back to Sakura. Then, both now focused on getting to their destination continued on.

After about two or three hours of tree jumping Sakura asked tiredly "Should we stop now and rest till morning?" Naruto wasn't tired Nearly as much as she was because of his practically limitless chakra amount but he still nodded knowing she would slow them down if they continued like this. After looking around to search their surroundings they found a cave near a river. Sakura offered to set up camp inside while Naruto went to get firedwood and food. He set off to the river to bring back water, then went out into the forest for wood. Sakura after setting up the neccesary stuff for the little rinky-dink camp, looked out to the forest to see a tree fall down, then a minor tremor. Alarmed at the thought of Naruto in trouble with enemies she rushed out the where the tree fell. When she got there she hid behind the tree to try and hide. She looked at the spot and found Naruto using a wind blade to chop up the tree, shirtless... Sakura was no longer hiding behind the tree and naruto noticed her there. He turned towards her and said "Hey there Sakura camp set up?"cheerily. She noted the defined abs he had along with his muscles, she blushed and dropped her gaze to the ground before saying "y-yeah". Naruto had half the tree chopped up and there was alot-i mean ALOT of wood there, realizing how much wood they had to use, they could have a couple weeks worth of firewood... Naruto got an idea, he turned towards Sakura and asked her, "Hey sakura how good do you think the cave is to sleep in?" she replied "It's ok i guess, the ground is cold and it's pretty damp...". He had his mind set now, and said "Ok, for tonight you're gonna sleep there 'cause it's safer than out here, i got food and supplies for the night, ok?" she nodded and turned to head back to the cave when she abruptly stopped and turned back to him and asked,"What about you? where are you sleeping?" He grinned and said"Don't worry, i'm doing you a favor by not sleeping tonight, don't come out of the cave until i come and get you ok?" she nodded and began to think about what Naruto was gonna do while she was in the cave.

It was about 8 o'clock pm in the summer so there was still light outside... Sakura was inside the cave making herself food and wondered about naruto's plans. Naruto on the other hand was happy and had about 30 shadow clones created and worked on cutting down 2 more trees and getting more wood. Afterwards he got them to build a square base with one 3foot opening on one part of it. then he got them to pile the other wood blocks onto them until he had a wood tower-like construct built. After shaping down the side and getting the blocks to stick together using a jutsu, he and his clones were tired, so they all went to the river and got some water. After Breaking for about half an hour it was 11:00pm and was dark, so he used some branches and stuck them in the ground around his constuct and lit the tops on fire so they had light to work by. Now they started to cut a square hole in one side of the tower, the same side that had the big hole that he was able to enter through. He and his clones fastened together a roofing made of wood and thatch that they made. Now he had a crude cabin. He popped up 20 more clones and got to work making the outside look better. Satisfied, he got to work on the Inside now, making furniture and such... he had a spot that didn't have flooring for a fire pit since stoves weren't able to be carried around in backpacks... He made a Bed and made a matress of leaves and his sleeping bag and his blanket. The fire pit spot was under a chimney made of stone he put in. It was now 2 o'clock in the flippin morning and he was tired, his jutsus could go on but his body couldn't handle not sleeping for so long. So he fell asleep for a couple hours before awaking on the bed.

He ran outside to look at it and was happy with himself. He ran to get Sakura. When He got there, she was asleep. Plopping down beside her he just looked at her thinking 'My god she is an angel', he stroked a few strands of hair out of her face when she awoke and freaked out, whacking Naruto in the head. Realising what she did she apologised and tried to comfort him. Saying he was fine while holding his head, he got up and walked around the cave for a few seconds before sitting back down. "I'm so sorry Naruto are you ok?" she asked again, rubbing his temples he nodded saying"yeah, i'm good". After packing all his stuff while getting worried looks from Sakura, she asked,"Why are you packing up? What's wrong Naruto". He looked at her then whacked himself in his forhead saying"Oh my god i forgot to tell you to pack your things! Errr, yeah, ummm...Pack your things...". Looking at him weirdly she did what he said a stoff up with her stuff...Then after walking out of the cave she asked him,"umm, Naruto, where are we going?" He grinned sheepishly while scratching the back of his head while saying"It's a surprise"

Curiosity took over her and she pondered about what it was and she became eager to move ahead quicker, but she also noted how tired Naruto looked...Naruto knew where they were and they were about 20yards away from it, so there was just enough trees ahead to block it from sight from her until further notice. "Sit down please"he simply asked, without asking, she sat down and put her stuff down. He did his thing and to her eyes, teleported away. He put his stuff inside the cabin and got back to her, she was now laying down in the grass looking up at the sky. He walked over to her and layed down before her, silently. He poked her so she'd know he was there, she didn't look at him but asked"What was that for?" he turned towards her and said"So you'd know i was here." She looked at him and noticed how close they were, faces only a few inches apart. She was freaking out but Naruto was totally unphased...A couple hours ago he had a chit-chat with the Kyuubi

Flashback

"Hey Kit..." "What kyuubi? why am i here again? Found out something about the Azirigon?" The kyuubi shook it's huge head. It looked directly at him and said "You need to find a mate kit," Naruto started choking on an un-existing liquid he was drinking and asked "What???" "You heard me kit, you need to find a mate, your older now and if you don't find a mate now you'll not be able to continue your family" "Kyuubi i don't even know who my parents were..." he seemingly sadly stated "I forgot to tell you i know who they are..." Naruto's gloominess turned into shock and asked "Who are they?!?!" The Kyuubi didn't seem concerned or nothing just said "Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki" Naruto's eyes dropped and he seemed lost in thought, then it all sank in... "I know Minato is the fourth Hokage but who is Kushina?" he asked... "She is a big part of who you are...Minato gave you your determination and your 'Charm' as you might call it, plus your skills as a shinobi while Kushina gave you your rebelliousness and love of the shadow clone technique" Kyuubi stated... "Wow, so i'll freak out later, but what were you saying about the err, ummm 'Mate' thing?" "Ah yes that, you need to find a mate and continue on the Namikaze name Naruto... That pink haired girl seems best suited, she's got spunk..." "How the hell do you propose we do just that?" naruto amusingly asked... "Tip number one, don't stare at other girls and don't get drunk unless your with her... Number 2 Don't completely freak out about everything, only enough to make her laugh and win her over...So act more serious... 3,Don't be so overprotective that they can't breathe, that's a relationship killer... trust me i know" the Kyuubi's eyes dropped "What happened?" "the 4th tailed cat demon and i were intimate and she looked at Shakaku, i panicked and she didn't like me anymore..." "What you do then?" The Kyuubi's face lit up with happiness and joy "I practically killed Shakaku and locked the kitty cat in the underworld....it was the most fun i've ever had!" "Ummmm yeeeeeah, i'm gonna go back to my world now....bye"

flashback end

She blushed and turned on her side to have her back towards him and he kept looking at the clouds..."Do you still love Sasuke?" he asked...She was shocked at what he said, not thinking he'd ask her that... she turned back towards the sky and said"Not really anymore i just want him back so our team will be whole again..." His expression wasn't happy, or mad, not really sad but kind of and he asked"Who do you like then?" She dreaded the question rummaging through her memories to find out who she liked she realized who she liked..."I don't really know....Who do you like?" He turned towards he so their faces were looking at eachother again and said "The same person i've loved since i the academy days, you should know that" their noses were almost touching and she blushed again, sitting up abruptly, saying"what were you gonna show me naruto?"

He stood up and strectched then started walking to the spot...He stopped and said "Close your eyes" She obeyed and he took her hand in his and led her to the front of the cabin... He said "Open" when she did, she was so shocked she dropped her stuff on the ground. She looked at Naruto's grinning face and back to the cabin and asked "You did all this?"

I don't feel like adding any more to this chapter...I'm working on like 3 other stories because the ideas popped into my head from reading other peoples... Ciao
