Years have passed. Naruto has grown stronger and more attractive. He walks down the streets and women swoon over him. Jiraiya being the pervert he is decided to capitalize on this. With Tsunade by his side, he's determined to see which harem will win and which girl shall get Uzumaki Naruto. Jiraiya grinned evilly as he can already picture the amount of data he can gather without even doing any spying. Now if only he can keep Naruto in the dark about this…

Disclaimer:

I do not own any of the characters of Naruto. They are owned by Masashi Kishimoto and various Companies, Productions and Corporations . I am only a fan who is writing for leisure. So please get your lawyers out of my house before I sick my dogs at them.

This is a special request by one of my friends. This is basically harem vs. harem. Both fighting to win Naruto. You can take this as either a side story of Naruto: Love Hina Style or a spin-off. In any case it's a sort of fan service. Who will win?

This is an AU.

I repeat an AU or an Alternate Universe.

So basically I'm free to curb some of the characters' characteristics into my own liking!

All hail my creative writing license!

"It's been a long time Naruto-kun." The woman sighed as she looked at the photograph in her hand. Not the most beautiful photo to have considering the blonde boy in question is sleeping haphazardly with bandages and drool coming out of his mouth while she gave the dozing boy a kiss, but it's the best photo she has of the boy who made her believe again.

The photo really captured the young blonde's purity and innocence. She remembered handing a copy of the same photograph to his team mate while he was unconscious. She even signed her autograph, remembering how hard Naruto tracked her just so he could have her signature. She remembered him telling her that he was one of her greatest fans.

"Do you still feel the same about me?" She sighed wistfully. Five years has passed now. She tried to keep contact with him by sending him letters from time to time and she always got a reply which brought enormous joy to her. But as the weeks and months passed by, with his various missions and her being swamped with her own responsibilities, the letters began to lessen. Until they barely kept contact at all.

She supposes it was her fault for not trying hard enough. She had admired him ever since his team helped her in Snow Country which only grew over time because of the letters he sent.

She had kept the film the director used when he filmed Naruto and her uncle's battle. It served as a reminder for her, of how noble the young blonde was or whenever she missed him and gazing at their photograph simply isn't enough. She would listen to his voice as Naruto faced his uncle, remembering how his angry tone was always so soft and full of emotions when he spoke to her. Telling her to never give up and believe in herself.

"Princess, we are now approaching Konoha's border." One of the guards informed her, interrupting her musing.

She looked out of the window carriage and saw the lush greenery that now surrounded their carriage. She felt nostalgic, remembering the last time she was in the area. She had really made a pest of herself as she tried to run off at any given opportunity only to be replaced by excitement. She couldn't wait til she sees Naruto again.

"It appears we're not the only ones who are arriving." The guard informed her. She looked out of her carriage window only to see another envoy near the distance. Another dignitary by the look of things.

"We're almost there princess. We have just passed the border." Yurinojou announced. She merely nodded to her bodyguard for acknowledgement. It's nearly five years since the young blonde has changed her life. Almost five years now that she had kept her promise. She felt a little embarrassed as she remembered brazenly asking him to stay with her until her country was back to its feet. It was a selfish act, but she didn't want to loose him so soon after he had protected and stayed with her during the assassination attempt. He had held her and gave her comfort while she cried for the demise of her father. He didn't abandon her and handed her to the enemy when his friends' lives were in danger. He protected her just like he promised.

She couldn't help but feel thrilled as anticipation flowed through her veins. She would see him again. Have the opportunity to touch him and be in his arms again.

She blushed at the thought.

"Princess it seems we're not travelling alone. There is another envoy a couple of metres from ours." Yurinojou informed his ward.

It was only natural after all. It seemed a lot of dignitaries are coming towards Konoha for the kunoichi tournament. Yurinojou smirked. While he came to protect his ward, he knew his ward had an alternative reason for coming. Naruto had become a great influence for the princess during the short time he had worked for them. He knew Haruna was slightly upset upon reading the invitation after finding out what the major prize was.

Yurinojou was surprised when Haruna approached him and demanded that he train her some self-defence. It didn't occur to him as to why until Haruna showed him the invitation after their first self defence lesson. He remembered laughing while Haruna fumed. Yurinojou had to explain that she will have to have years of training before even qualifying for the tournament.

Haruna huffed like a small child. She always did have a temper. He manage to sooth her though by telling her that they could just go and visit Naruto and spend time with him since he won't be participating and will only be a spectator. That alone cheered up Haruna.

He remembered Haruna panicked as she packed for their journey. Worrying about what to wear and what to bring to impress Naruto while mumbling about something about how Hinata already has a great head start for she already stays in the same village and works with Naruto from time to time just like the time they helped her.

Yurinojou just chuckled. He wondered what the blonde shinobi has been up to and why would he agree to become part of the grand prize for the competition. In any case, he was about to find out very soon.

"HEY!" Naruto yelped as Ayame splashed him with soapy water as they washed the dishes. "NO FAIR!"

He then began to splash her back making Ayame squeal. Soon a water fight began only to end abruptly when Naruto tried to get Ayame with a handful of soapy water only to splash Ichiraku when he came to investigate why his daughter was squealing in delight.

"G-gomen jisan. Ayame moved." Naruto apologised while Ayame giggled and stuck her tongue out at him.

Ichiraku just sighed as he wiped his face with his apron. "It's alright Naruto. No harm done. Just try to keep it down alright?" Ichiraku replied as he walked away.

"Serves you right!" Ayame sing-songed then squealed when she saw Naruto grab another handful of soapy water and headed towards her. She tried to get away but slipped.

Naruto saw this and immediately dived to catch Ayame or at least cushion her fall which he succeeded in.

Ayame yelped when she hit the hard ground. "ITAI! That hurt!" She complained.

"You're hurt?" Naruto replied back rather sarcastically since it was he who cushioned her fall but nonetheless worried.

It was only then did Ayame realise she was sitting on Naruto's rock hard stomach. She blushed at such intimate contact.

"Do you mind getting off me Ayame-chan?" Naruto asked at the blushing woman. Which Ayame complied to.

"KUSO!" Naruto suddenly cursed.

"What's wrong Naruto-kun?" Ayame asked. Hoping he had not injured himself for her sake.

"I have to go to the market district today. Kin-chan was really mad at me for coming home late yesterday." Naruto explained.

Tsuchi Kin was an ex-kunoichi from sound. During the sound invasion however when Sound inevitably lost, they had discovered a few stragglers in the village. One of them was Kin, which because of Orochimaru's kinjutsu was left too weak to flee. When Orochimaru's kinjutsu was defeated by the Sandaime, his kinjutsu was cancelled and brought his sacrifice for the jutsu back to life but left them barely hanging on. Her team mate Zaku Abumi wasn't lucky. Because of the injuries he had sustained during the Chuunin preliminaries exam, he didn't have enough chakra to sustain him which caused his untimely demised.

Naruto along with his team was the one who discovered them. When his fellow nins moved in to finish Kin off, Naruto blocked them.

Flashback…

"Move Naruto…" Kakashi ordered his subordinate who continued to block the way of the other Jounins.

"Move out of the way brat! We must dispose the trash! Look at what they did to our village! To our Hokage!" One of the Jounins raged.

But Naruto remained to where he was standing.

"Move out of the way dobe." Sasuke also told his team mate. Trying not to stress himself because of his injuries.

"Naruto you idiot just move!" Sakura yelled at him but Naruto remained stoic.

"You dare side with the enemy?" one of the Jounin questioned.

"I will not let you kill someone who is obviously defenceless." Naruto answered.

"She is one of the enemy! One of the people who attacked our village!"

"Look at her! She can barely even open her eyes! She's barely alive!" Naruto protested. "She is not a threat!"

Kin, while she was still too weak to speak or move heard Naruto's words. "Why is he defending me?"

"Hasn't there been enough blood shed? Do you really think this is what Sandaime would want? To attack someone who can barely defend themselves?" Naruto replied back, his head down to hide his eyes.

The Jounins seemed to have been affected by his words.

"Very well Naruto. We won't harm the girl. We'll just arrest her. Then nurse her back to health." Kakashi reassured his subordinate. Then they will interrogate her, something the blonde doesn't need to know.

Naruto seemed to agree as he moved slightly only to lift the girl up in his arms. "I'll carry her back to hospital then." Naruto informed them with a determined look on his face. Not trusting the other nins.

Kakashi sighed. "Yare, yare Naruto. You're being quite obstinate about all this." Then turned his attention towards the other Jounins. "We'll take it from here."

"Hai Kakashi-sensei." One of the Jounins responded before the three Jounins took their leave.

"That's probably the most reckless thing you have ever done dobe." Sasuke replied back but was really impressed of his team mate's spirit.

Naruto merely smiled and ignored Sasuke's jibe. He looked at the girl in his arms, glad that she was still breathing.

"We'll escort you to the hospital." Kakashi informed Naruto as their team headed back to Konoha hospital.

End flashback…

When Kin was nursed back to health and was interrogated for information, Morino Ibiki found out that the girl was used by Orochimaru to summon the First and Second Hokage by using Kin and Zaku as a sacrifice for his Kuchiyose: Edo Tensei (Summoning: Impure World Resurrection). She had also expressed no desire to return to her village after what Orochimaru had done to her and her team mate. It was decided that she be placed under diplomatic immunity. She will stay in Konoha under supervision by another citizen as a refugee.

Naruto has volunteered to watch her and even allowed her to live with him. At first, they were at each others' throats since Kin didn't trust him but in time they had manage to live together peacefully. Kin had enrolled to become a leaf nin and became good friends with Hinata and Tenten and the rest of Naruto's friends.

Naruto was interrupted from his thoughts when Ayame asked him a question. "She's not upset with you is she?" Ayame asked.

Naruto just gave her a sheepish grin. Since discovering that Ichiraku had an all you can eat promotion going for a week, he had not been eating any of Kin's cooking which really displeased her. He was meant to go to the market today to buy some groceries but got side tracked again when he caught whiff of the delicious scent of ramen being cooked and immediately turned around to eat a few bowls of ramen before going shopping. That was two hours ago.

"Not if I don't hurry." Naruto replied back. "Sorry about the mess Ayame-chan."

"It's alright Naruto-kun. You better hurry." Ayame replied back.

Naruto then dashed off towards Konoha's market district.

"Where the hell is he? He should have been here by now?" Kin said to no one but herself. Naruto should have been back by now. "I bet he stopped by Ichiraku's again!"

Kin plopped down on the couch. She had grown fond of the blonde over the years they had lived together. She can actually afford a place for herself but was adamant to do so since she had gotten way too attach to him. She never did have the courage to tell him about this since he was still stuck chasing Sakura around like a love sick little puppy. Something that always grated her nerves.

While she had gotten along with all of Naruto's friends, she couldn't stomach Sakura's spoiled attitude. The way she treated Naruto like a little lap dog really got under her skin. She kept leading Naruto on, not to mention Rock Lee as well while pinning away for that traitor Sasuke. She got the two guys eating at the palm of her hand.

She then headed towards her room. It used to be Naruto's room but since she moved in, Naruto moved next to the smaller room next to hers that used to be his storage room. She had appreciated Naruto's generosity. He even helped her decorate the room to her liking. She approached her bedside table and opened the top drawer. She took out a piece of paper. She re-read its contents. It was about the Kunoichi tournament. She had signed up without Naruto's knowledge. Wanting to win the tournament so that she can spend the grand prize with Naruto and finally confess her feelings for him. Then another thought entered her mind. There is a possibility that Haruno Sakura could be her opponent. Which brought a smile on her lips.

She jumped when she heard the phone ring.

"Moshi-moshi?" Kin greeted as she pick up the phone.

"Kin?" Asked the other voice on the line.

"Ten-chan! What's up?" Kin replied back recognising Tenten's voice.

"Nothing much just bored. Hey did you sign up for the tournament yet?" Tenten asked.

"Yeah I have. Have you?"

"Yeah." Tenten enthusiastically replied. "I heard almost every kunoichi signed up! Aren't you excited?"

Thus the two ladies began to discuss in great length who they thought would be in the tournament and what we're their chances of winning.

Somewhere in Konoha's streets...

"Whew! This seems the last item on the list." Naruto replied back as he carried an armful of groceries. Only to be interrupted by a summoning bird.

"Great! This is just great! Now I have to go to see baa-chan." Naruto sighed. Kin won't be happy about this. He then began to make his way towards the Hokage Tower.

At the Hokage Tower…

Tsunade sat behind her desk. In front of her was two of the other country's representative seated; behind them were their respective bodyguards. Both representatives were women and were subtly filling the room with tension as temperature dropped.

They had been discussing their accommodation and the services that will be provided during their stay while at Konoha when both women asked about Naruto.

Almost immediately both women looked at each other with suspicion which made Tsunade's eyebrow rise. "Well this is quite interesting." Tsunade thought as she watched the two women. Just then she heard a loud ruckus by her office door followed closely by Naruto barging in.

"This better be good baa-chan. Make it quick, I need to go home and put all my groceries away." Naruto whined still holding an armful of groceries. He had kicked open her door seeing as he had his hands full.

Tsunade's eyes began to tick at the blatant disregard Naruto was showing in front of her and the other dignitaries. She noticed the two women's mood seem to have brightened due to his arrival through her peripheral vision.

Naruto seemed to also have noticed that there were in fact other people in the room and immediately felt sheepish for his behaviour. "Sorry baa-chan didn't know you had guests."

Tsunade seemed to have relaxed because of his honest apology. "That's alright Naruto. Kotetsu." Tsunade called one of the shinobi who immediately appeared beside Naruto. "Please take Naruto's groceries to his place. I need to discuss some matters to him."

Kotetsu immediately complied. Taking the grocery out of Naruto's arms. "Thanks man." Naruto said to the other nin.

"No problem Naruto." Kotetsu replied back before disappearing.

"Naruto." Both female voices piped up in unison drawing Naruto's attention to Tsunade's guests.

Both females in questions glared at each other.

"Yuki-hime? Haruna-hime?" Naruto said before his eyes settled on Haruna's bodyguard. "And Yurinojou-san! What are you guys doing here!" he replied back with surprised glee. He had not seen them for years. Five to six years in fact.

Yurinojou smiled. "We're here for the Kunoichi Tournament."

"Tournament?" Naruto asked in confusion. As everyone in the room sweat dropped.

Author's Notes:

Hope you like the latest update.

Congratulations to Skuld's Sentaro 6 for being half right about the my two special guests. It is non other than Koyuki Kazahana/Yuki Fujikaze of Snow Country and Haruna from Nano Country. It's really my bad for not being specific enough about who would be guesting. Oh so that everyone knows, This story will not cross-over other animes. I find it difficult to juggle other characters while writing the characters in Naruto as well.

Oh and Naruto is 18 years of age in this story. It will just seem a bit odd if he was younger. I didn't make him older than 18 since that would involve me writing adult situations and to be honest I can't write adult situations well because I blush like crazy and squeal like a high school girl. Gomen Ne.

Again a reminder for the readers, I have only seen the anime and had not really read the manga so I only know the latest anime releases at dattebayo. Gomen Nasai.

Again a little reminder:

The Kunoichi Tournament invites that were sent outside the village of Konoha were altered by Jiraiya naming Naruto as one of the major prize.

The Konoha village has little to no idea about his role, only the jounins know so far and even then it was only rumoured. Only the kunoichis at the Kunoichi Lounge are the ones who just discovered the truth so far. So this means Kin has no idea that Naruto is the major prize for the trip for two. Her invitation only states its a trip for two that is all... while the altered ones sent to the other villages by Jiraiya states its the winner and Naruto who would be spending the trip together... Lol

I might list the girls who would be in the tournament if I'm feeling energetic enough. Lol. Please feel free to suggest and comment and as always please leave me a review.
