Naruto awoke some time during the night; still holding a now sleeping Tsunade, Naruto looked down at her and smiled. He enjoyed the fact that they were on a couch, in her office, holding each other. Naruto withdrew his hand from under the blanket and began to brush her cheek with the edge of his fingers lightly. Tsunade let loose another purr as she fought to bury her head further in his chest.
Naruto smirked to himself and continued to watch her sleep, memorizing the way she breathed, listening as her heart beat slowed, and finally basking in the faint warmth that radiated of her sleeping form. Naruto for the first time was satisfied with where he was in life, lying on this couch in the Hokage's tower, with the women he loved sleeping in his arms. This to him just had to beat Ero-sensei's peeking, any time of the day, he couldn't think of anything better.
Naruto remained awake through the rest of the night wondering what the morning would bring. Certainly this compromising position would raise questions when some one entered the office and found them in such a manner. Naruto only smiled as he thought of the rumors that would sweep Konoha. Naruto watched as the sun rose and tiny rays of light began to glow in the interior of the small office.
There was a light knock at the door, and Naruto began to mentally curse who ever it was, Naruto however chose to ignore it. Instead of going away like Naruto had hoped, the knocking on increased and slowly began to ascend in volume as well. Tsunade began to stir and opened her eyes as the knocking finally stopped and who ever it was had left. Naruto couldn't help but notice that her eyes, even though a seemingly a normal color brown, were most enticing when the light hit them just right.
"Morning, Tsunade sleep well?" Naruto asked as she rolled in his arms so that she was face to face with him
"The sleep was wonderful actually, how about you?" She replied
"I slept for a bit, but at some point I awoke and decided to watch you sleep." Naruto answered her with a grin
"That's cute, so tell me Naruto-kun, what do you find my most desirable feature to be?" She asked trying to embarrass the boy
"Actually I couldn't see it last night, the birthmark on your right but cheek I mean umm your eyes, and yes I defiantly mean your eyes." Naruto tried to cover his slip but knew he had failed miserably
"Really now how would you know about my birthmark?" Tsunade cocked an eyebrow as she feigned rage
Naruto visibly gulped, he was in for a beating if he answered that question but he had no other choice, so he thought for a minute before answering. He looked at Tsunade and then to the door, there was just no way out of this.
"You remember all those times where I caught Jiraiya-sama peeking at you and I would yell to get your attention." Naruto paused and waited for her to nod "Well I was actually the one peeking, and that would mean Jiraiya was the one catching me, but I knee that umm if I yelled then you would believe me." Naruto finished
"Naruto, not that I am not flattered, but didn't you feel slightly naughty peeking at me? When did you first start peeking?" Tsunade asked as she pushed the boy forward
"Well not really I mean I was turning 14 and I thought you were hot, I mean sure slightly disturbing that I would fall in love with a 50 year old, but a dang cute 50 year old, I started peeking when we went to the springs after the fight with Kabuto and Orochimaru. I guess I don't know you were the first women to show me real attention, and I wanted that, I wanted you. At first I think the Henge was what I fell in love with but later after watching you, I decided what was under the Henge was far more enchanting." Naruto confessed
Tsunade couldn't believe what she heard, even with out her Henge she was still one of the most beautiful women in Konoha but she looked slightly older then when the Henge was preformed. She looked at Naruto and began to quietly cry, she had never realized that the boy before her was so thoughtful although perverted at such a young age.
"Have you peeked on anyone else?" Tsunade asked as she wiped tears away
"No I never wanted anyone else before, it was just so frustrating that the women I wanted was so much older then me, I mean Sakura is pretty but no where as pretty as you, then there was Hinata but she was to shy for my taste, and none of the other girls could even compare. I knew you were the one I wanted and I knew I couldn't have you so I resigned myself to watching, that was before I made my deal with Kyuubi."
"Naruto, are you sure your arm was worth it, I mean think about it your arm for my age, am I really worth so much trouble. Don't get me wrong I want to have this just as much as you but is it really worth your arm?" Tsunade asked
"Most defiantly, I would have given both of them up, to get what you want most times you have to make sacrifices and I made mine, my dream was to become Hokage and I hope to one day, but what I really want out of life is a family, and you're the only one I want to have it with."
"I know, but ever since Dan died I haven't been able to think about such things, I almost thought I had a chance with Kakashi, but then you happened." Naruto tensed, Tsunade sensing the tense Naruto quickly added " I chose you over Kakashi or else I would be with him right now."
"Do you think we can make this work, seeing as people will think me being younger and the fact that I am the demon child, is reason enough that we shouldn't be together?"
"I want this to work, and I am going to do my very best to make sure it does, I lost Dan and gained another chance with you I don't want to lose that too, look Naruto I still love Dan and I want you to know that."
"I understand, I might be blonde and in the past I might have acted dense, but know this I would never ever ask to replace Dan in your heart, it is plenty big enough for the both of us, Dan was special to you more special in some ways then I will be but I will be equally more special in other ways."
"Does this mean we are going out or dating, whatever you want to call it?" Tsunade asked looking again at his blue eyes
"Yes, it does I made a sacrifice for what I wanted and I intend to get all of what I wanted, in the near future, beside now I can look at the birth mark any time I want." Naruto teased which in turn he received a playful slap from Tsunade
"Then again, I guess your right, you can see the birth mark anytime you want." She agreed as she took his hand and guided it down so that it was directly over the mark
"What birth mark is that?" some one asked from behind them
Both of the occupants of the couch turned and looked to find the voice and in the process the blanket dropped revealing a very compromising scene. The voice snickered as he whipped out a notepad and started to jot down some things while trying to keep down his giggle. Naruto sighed he knew that giggle better then anyone after all he just spent the last two years with it.
"Father stop giggling like a school girl and put away the note pad OR ELSE." Naruto said the emphases on or else
"Sheesh, calm down I just came to get you because everyone is waiting for you two to make your entrance at a breakfast we all arranged for your coming back, where at the restaurant across the street." Jiraiya replied before disappearing
Naruto gave Tsunade a smile before applying a gentle squeeze to her butt which got him slapped for a second time in the morning. Tsunade got up and walked over to the desk and grabbed her change purse, which also gave Naruto the idea to grab his from his book bag.
He extended his hand to her, which she gladly excepted as she snuggled close and rested her other hand on his shoulder as they left the office hand in hand. The two ANBU guarding the door looked at each other before giving a chuckle; it seemed to them the #1 loudest and most surprising Shinobi had pulled another fast one, crushing the hopes of many eligible single bachelors.
Naruto and Tsunade walked down the stairs and into the eyes of the general public, which surprisingly was less confrontational then they had expected even though he still got the hateful stares from some. Tsunade growled as she eyed the ones staring this caused many to falter in her wake. Approaching the restaurant Naruto looked at the women attached to his right arm and smiled.
"You ready for this? I mean out here is one thing but we walk in holding hands shit will hit the fan, in there, only one expecting this is Kakashi." Naruto asked looking at her
"I am more then ready, besides after Jiraiya broke me down in front of the others two years ago I am sure Sakura and a couple others are expecting this. Well only Sakura and Sasuke but they promised to keep quiet." She answered
Naruto just smiled and exhaled as he and Tsunade took the plunge into the unknown, such as a 15 year old dating the Hokage. He didn't really care, he was a ninja and things could end at anytime so this was okay to him. He wasn't a civilian, they didn't know what he went through none of them did do in reality. Naruto again looked into Tsunade's brown eyes and found assurance that everything would be okay.
They walked in and around the corner to were every one was sitting, as Naruto coughed slightly to announce their presence, the shock wave of reactions to seeing Naruto tall, tanned, and sexy with the Hokage and him walking hand in hand was amazing. Ino smiled, Neji nearly choked, Shika and Chouji were giving him the thumbs up and all the sensei excluding Kakashi were about to faint, Kiba and Akamaru were actually smiling.
"Naruto-san and Hokage-sama, come sit here." Chouji said as he moved a chair over to allow the two to set together
"Well, this is certainly shocking, I mean he is what 15 and you are older to say the least aren't you the least bit ashamed?" Kurenai asked as she looked at Tsunade as the the couple sat down
"I don't like the tone in which you asked the question, I have nothing to be ashamed of, the circumstances of our relationship are just that, ours, so I would appreciate it if you would say things like that, and remember I am the Hokage." Tsunade replied as she felt Naruto's hand rest on her thigh, she turned and gave him a smile
"Welcome home Naruto-kun, Lee-san was just explaining how he met Haku-chan." Neji as he looked at Haku with a slight blush, causing Lee to growl
Neji smirked at the boy and grunted something that sounded like dead last, this just caused Haku to become slightly cold to the Hyuga. Naruto knew that even though the two were just friends Lee and Haku would eventually figure things out for themselves, but for now they were just close friends.
"Yes, it is good to see you again, Naruto-kun I have missed you the last two years, and my ramen trips have been lonely with just me." Iruka replied
"Hai, Iruka-sensei it is good to be back see all my friends again, I am really excited about my team and the up coming exams." Naruto replied
"Good, dobe your going to need everything you have for me, I am not going to lose to you." Sasuke smiled as he teased Naruto
Naruto just smiled as he squeezed Tsunade's thigh, extracted a slight purr again, Tsunade couldn't help but purr when he touched her. She had to agree with him though it was good to have him home.
