With Kurenai:

"Man I'm tired.." Kurenai mumbled as she laid down on the green grass. Naruto gave her that new genjutsu scroll last week and she's been practicing ever since. She gave a sigh and looked up at the blue sky and slowly closed her eyes. Her first team meeting was earlier today and it couldn't have been more awkward. Kiba kept on giving her lust filled glances for majority of the session while Shino actually did the exercise. And there was Hinata….

Okay she still hasn't talked to Hinata about Naruto but who could blame her? Telling her student/daughter that she may have feelings for the same blonde haired male. The idea of sharing Naruto popped in her head once or twice but was quickly shut down. Kurenai was the jealous type and possibly couldn't stand something like sharing another male. And the more rational side of her knew Naruto wouldn't agree to that knowing the type of person he is.

She gave a grunt as she turned over on the grass and went over her options. She knew she was running away from telling Hinata and she didn't want to witness the backlash from Asuma either.

Asuma...he was a problem.

His attempts towards Kurenai have become more frequent recently. She held no romantic feelings toward him and all the previous feelings she may have had vanished long ago. Only one male was currently occupying her mind and she sighed blissfully.

"Thinking about a certain blonde?" a feminine voice rang through the field and Kurenai snapped her eyes open and looked toward the direction of the voice. She gave a small pout and looked away with a huff "I don't know what your talking about Anko." the crimson eyed beauty said and Anko gave a mischievous smile "Sorry Nai-chan but I know you too well!" Anko yelled happily her eyes showing glints of mischief and fake innocence.

"Wipe that smirk off your face Anko-chan."

"Not happening!"

Kurenai gave off a sigh "Okay and what if I was thinking of a certain blonde?" she asked and soon regretted it and she saw the look come over Anko's face "No Anko don't say any-!"

"Well I would go to his place and suck hi-"

With Naruto:

"It's the truth Baa-chan!" our blonde hero yelled while Tsunade looked over at him in disbelief.

"How is that possible Naruto! It's only been a week!"

"It was just easy to figure out okay?"

Tsunade let out a very unattractive grunt (and Naruto made a point to mention it) and sat down into her chair. "It's only been a week how was it so simply to get on a week? It's an S-class jutsu." She said more calm than she was a few seconds ago as she opened a new bottle of sake.

"I don't know maybe I just understood it?" Naruto said scratching the back of his head in while his baa-chan took a sip of her sake. "That very Naruto like." She said fondly while Naruto looked at her with a frown "What's that supposed to mean."

"Oh nothing!"

"Baa-chan!"

"Anyway." She said ignoring Naruto and taking another sip of her drink "The council has been on my tail since you've been back and frankly i'm annoyed." She said making the male chuckle and she continued "News about your heritage have leaked into the shinobi council but luckily enough the civilian council still has no idea." She said making Naruto sigh in relief but more questing popped up

"And baa-chan why exactly do you need me here?" he questioned and the busy Hokage have a slight chuckle in return "Well since they figured out your heritage, and now me knowing of you mastering an S-rank jutsu on a week not to mention that it was your father's." She said but mumbled the last part making Naruto to grin "You have been offered a seat in the shinobi council." She finished making Naruto freeze and take a thinking pose. After a few minutes of silence Tsunade began to grow impatient and was about to speak until Naruto finally decided to speak.

"Do I have to?"

Smack!

Naruto blinked once...then again. And then once more. He eyes Tsunade as she slammed her head on her desk. Hard I may mention. He walked over and poked her a few times and she gave no response. Just to be safe he checked her pulse and when he realized she was alive her silently left her office. He left the Hokage Tower giving his farewells to Shizune who gave a nod in return.

Outside the tower he walked down the streets heading to the nearest training ground. As he walked down the crowded streets he noticed the women giving him wired glances. The normal glares were still there but most of these new stars were from the women population. He ignored it and put up his normal smile. He continued until he heard a similar voice rang through the air

"SHUT UP ANKO!"

With Kurenai

"SHUT UP ANKO!"

Kurenai yelled as she eyes her purple haired friend with a face of a tomato. Anko gave her regular smirk and a loud laugh "What's so wrong about that Nai-chan! It's what I would to the sexy blonde." She said and unknown to both of them Naruto walked around the corner hearing everything they were saying.

"I don't want to hear what you would do to Naruto-kun Anko." the raven said and Anko's smile grew tenfold "Naruto-kun ayy?" she said with a Leer and Kurenai blushed even more. "Dam Nai-chan sounds like you have feelings about this man." She said with a laugh and both Kurenai and Naruto blushed a deep shade of red. Kurenai sat in silence and went over he thoughts. She did think of Naruto at boyfriend material but never thought anything would happen about it. And Naruto probably wouldn't want to date a woman who was almost 10 years older than him. And the issue involving Hinata wouldn't get any easier.

Anko looked over at her friend watching her face go from confusion, realization,and to guilt. Anko raised an eyebrow and went over and poked her friend. Kurenai jumped at the sudden contact and snapped her head to her purple headed friend. But before she could speak Naruto made himself known.

"Hello ladies!" He said happily and both females looked over to him and Kurenai's face went red from the previous conversation with Anko. "Hello blondie!" Anko yelled a tint of red also adoring her features. Naruto gave them each a nod and looked over at the ravenette "So Kurenai-chan how's the training going?" he asked with a knowing glint as Kurenai also held the same look in her eyes. "It's going good Naruto-kun I'm get getting the hang of it pretty fast but there's still some parts where I don't understand." She said as a tired look now adorned her features. Naruto raised an eyebrow in confusion as walked over to her "Do you have the scroll on you?" she nodded and Naruto's smile grew wider "Well why don't we look it over and see what we can do?" Kurenai's face lit up and she gave an enthusiastic nod and they got to work on the scroll.

Anko who watched from the sideline gave a small smile and made her way back home. Kurenai seemed happy with the blonde and she has no doubt they would get together it'll only take a matter of time. Anko gave a sigh as she was walking "What a shame I would have loved a crack at him." she said with a sadistic/seductive smile.

"Sugoi that means your a hero Naruto-kun!"

"I mean hero is a strong word…"

"Nonsense you saved the whole country and gave hope to many. If that isn't a hero I don't know what is." Kurenai said with a giggle and Naruto gave out a chuckle. They have been looking over the genjutsu scroll for hours and they barely even tipped the iceberg. So they spent the next few hours telling stories and Naruto just finished telling her about his adventure in wave. "I guess I am a hero huh." Naruto said quietly while Kurenai looked at him with a smile. They made eye contact and time seemed to slow down. Kurenai subconsciously scooted over towards the blonde and later did the same. They never broke eye contact as they scanned the others face. Naruto locked on to the ravens crimson eyes and was mesmerized. "I've never seen such beautiful eyes before." he thought and slowly there heads inched closer. Kurenai shuddered as she felt the blonds hot breath make contact with her skin. They lips only centimeters apart..

"N -naruto?!"

Naruto and Kurenai both snapped their heads up and jolted away from each other with matching blushes. They looked over to the sound of the voice and Naruto widened his eyes as did Kurenai "Kiba? What are you doing here?" Naruto asked in surprised as he noticed the furious look on Kiba's eyes.

"What am I doing here?! No one knew you were even back and here I find you about to kiss my sensei!" he yelled in fury but could here the underlying tone of jealousy in his voice. They both blushed again at being reminded at what almost happened and Naruto stood up and dusted himself off. He walked by ignoring Kiba and held a hand out for Kurenai and a embarrassed smile. She returned the smile and put her hand into his as he helped her off the ground.

They locked eyes once more and got lost in each other's eyes.

"Hello I'm still here!" Naruto and Kurenai looked sheepish and Naruto looked at Kiba "Sorry Kiba I should have told all of you guys I was back." he said and gave a small smile but Kiba didn't let up on his glare. "That doesn't explain why you're sexually assaulting my sensei!" Kiba yelled and the forgetting Akamaru barked in agreement and Kurenai glared at her student. Naruto noticed her glare and took a step back in fear and pity for Kiba. "Kiba Inuzuka what I do on my own time has nothing to do with you whatsoever. And Naruto-kun wasn't trying to sexually assault me of you knew that type of man Naruto is you would know he wouldn't do anything like that." She said with a protective glare and both men looked shocked but none other than Naruto. He looked at Kurenai with a warm glance. He knew he already started getting feelings for her and seeing her protect him like this made his feeling skyrocket even more.

Kiba looked at his sensei in shock while Akamaru bowed his head behind his master's leg and whimpered a little. Kiba left the training ground with a look of embarrassment and jealousy on his face. "Stupid Naruto taking what should he mine! I'm the alpha here and I'll show him who's boss and finally Kurenai will become mine." he thought with a lustful smile.

"Sorry about that Naruto-kun.." She said and turned around while Naruto gave her small smile "It's fine Kurenai-chan."

After a few more minutes Kurenai decided to head home and sleep over the day's stress away and Naruto decided to walk her home. She accepted the offer and they walked down the dark streets of Konoha. Once they reached her apartment Kurenai gave him a kiss on the cheek and Naruto walked home with a blush on his face.

Kurenai watched the blonde walk down the street for a little bit before she broke out into a smile and unlocked the door to her apartment. She walked into the dark room and flipped on the light switch. As the lights came on she walked over to her bedroom and changed into a red nightgown. She climbed into bed and looked at her ceiling. Naruto really was a good guy and she wanted to give him a chance but so many problems have been popping up. The situation with Asuma and especially Hinata have been tough already and by judging the reaction that Kiba had things have only gotten worse. She slowly closed her eyes forgetting her problems and letting her thoughts of a certain blonde drift her off to sleep.
