Authors note: Hey there my faithful readers, Mr. Lee is back with chapter four ripe for the reading. I hope all you NaruSaku fans enjoyed my Naruto Flower Tales: Sakura. To all my loyal fans of this fic; if you know anyone who's a fan of that pairing (And they're a lot of them.), then spread the word and tell them to check it out. I'm sure they won't be disappointed. Now this chapter is going to be a lot lighter than the other three, but that does not mean that it won't have an impact in future chapters (You'll see what I mean at the end.). I have also received a number of messages, e-mails and reviews requesting a lemon be put in my fic since the chemistry between the blonde duo is so good. Well, since I always try my best to please you loyal fans, I have decided to add one between them since it does play an important role in future chapters. However, please keep in mind that this will be my first lemon since I'm still a new author to this site. I hope that it is tasteful (No pun intended.) and doesn't offend my other fans or this site. If it does, I deeply apologize to all of you in advance :(. Again, I thank all of you, my loyal fans new and old for Reading, Enjoying and Reviewing my fics. If you haven't reviewed them, then please do so. It'll only take a few minutes of your time and as I always say ALL ARE WELCOME. By the way, for those who haven't read my profile lately, I want you all to know that I enjoy looking at Naruto fan art with the spiky blonde and one of the kunoichis (NaruTema, NaruSaku, NaruHina etc.). If you're an artist or know an artist and would like to draw a scene(s) from any of my fics, then you have my permission to do so. I would love to see a good picture of Naruto and Temari kissing each other or the four heroes in their new outfits in this fic. All I ask is that the art is tasteful, and that when you're finished, you'll e-mail me showing me the picture or a link to the picture. Finally, I want to dedicate this chapter to new authors Judicium and Midnight Rain. As a fellow new author, I welcome you both to the site and wish you both well in your fics. Now then, let chapter four (with a lemon) begin. Enjoy :)!

Ch. 4- Ramen, Springs and Jiraiya

Konoha-Hokage Tower

"What is the meaning of this Hiashi-sama? Why have all of us at the council been called here?" The council member Oguri Kozunosuke yelled at the council head and head of the Hyuga clan.

"Have patience Oguri-sama, Tsunade-sama will be here shortly to explain everything." Hiashi said calmly. As if on cue the Godaime Hokage appeared along with Sakura, who became her apprentice assistant after Shizune retired as a med-nin and left Konoha, Hinata, Neji, Ibiki and Anko. All of them had serious expressions on their faces.

"Sorry to keep all of you waiting." Tsunade said nonchalantly as she sat down.

"Tsunade-sama, why have you called us all here?" Koharu asked.

"I've called all of you here to tell you what I've discovered in regards to the Konoha massacre." The female sannin said calmly.

"What is there to talk about? We all know that demon Uzumaki Naruto along with that ex-sound girl Tayuya was responsible for the bloodbath!" Oguri spat venomously.

"That is not entirely true." Tsunade countered with a scowl on her face.

"What do you mean Tsunade-sama?" Councilwoman and widow of the Sandaime Oyuki Sarutobi asked curiously.

"What I mean Oyuki-sama is that Uzumaki Naruto was set up as part of a bigger conspiracy by someone in this room!" Tsunade answered angrily. The council murmured amongst themselves shocked by the Hokage's accusation.

"What kind of conspiracy Hokage-sama?" Shikaku Nara questioned in his laidback voice.

"Funny you should ask Shikaku…" The legendary sucker replied with a smirk as she turned her head to Anko nodding slightly. The snake mistress nodded slightly and raised her hand shouting "Hebi no Shinsou (Snake of Truth)!" as a blue snake shot out towards Oguri, wrapping itself around the council member while biting his hand causing him to scream.

"What are you doing Tsunade-sama?! That snake will kill him!" Homura shouted.

"Calm down everyone. Just watch." Hiashi said peacefully to the frightened council members. They noticed that the clan members of Nara, Yamanaka, Inuzuka, Aburame and Akimichi as well as Oyuki Sarutobi were all calm as well so they eventually just relaxed as the blue snake settled itself and Oguri got a glazed look in his eyes.

"Thank you Hiashi-sama. Anko, you may begin." Tsunade said with a wave of her hand.

"Yes Hokage-sama." Anko replied obediently as she bowed and then turned to the trapped councilman. "All right you maggot! Your name is Oguri Kozunosuke correct?" Anko asked the captured man to make sure the toxin was working.

"Yes." Oguri replied in a zombie like tone.

"Very good! Now tell me, what is the name people in the underworld call you?" She questioned.

"Za Kuro Tentei (The Black Lord)." He replied. Everyone in the council room gasped at his answer. The Black Lord is a name that was infamous throughout the ninja lands. It is said that he had ninja spies throughout the lands that gained information about anything and everything and would sell that information to the highest bidder. He even would do assassinations if the price was right. Many ninjas and mercenaries from the five great nations have tried to find the identity and whereabouts of the man but to no avail.

"I can't believe that Oguri, who's been on the council since my husband's time as Hokage was Za Kuro Tentei all this time." Oyuki said incredulously.

"Anko's technique is in the ninja handbook Oyuki-sama. I'm afraid he's not lying." Tsunade replied honestly.

"Wait a minute Hokage-sama. How did you find out that Oguri was the Black Lord?" Inoichi questioned.

"An ANBU guard from group two by the name of Tenkai who was slain in the massacre is Oguri's own son. Unfortunately for the bastard in that chair over there, his son couldn't keep a secret." The female sannin explained as Ibiki handed a bunch of folders to Sakura and Hinata who then passed them out to the council members. The folders contained a copy of the ANBU captain's report on his interrogation of ANBU group two and the confessions of Shingo and Tenkai's friends and families as well as the identities of the Konoha ninja spies who were on Oguri's payroll and their activities. All the members in the room had their jaws on the floor as they read it.

"Okay next question you piece of shit. Why did you and your thugs try to assassinate Naruto?" The snake mistress asked as she continued her interrogation.

"I was paid a large sum of money to take out Uzumaki Naruto by Orochimaru and his apprentice Uchiha Sasuke." Oguri answered obediently. Hinata gasped loudly while Sakura clenched her fists in anger and Neji grunted with an angry look on his face. "After the battle between Naruto and his friends against him and Uchiha Sasuke, Orochimaru and his student feared that he was becoming too powerful and that Tsunade-sama was getting too close to making Konoha even stronger than when Sarutobi was Hokage. So we planned to kill two birds with one stone." He continued.

"And how were you planning to do that?" Anko inquired.

"Orochimaru and I knew how much the village hated Naruto for the Kyubbi no Kitsune (Nine Tailed Fox) that was sealed within him by the Yondaime and how much the Godaime cared for him. So we planned to use the villagers' hatred against them both. We gathered villagers that possessed enough hatred for the demon. It was simple because I hated the demon brat for the death of my wife and I knew many people who lost loved ones to that beast as well." The underworld boss explained. "I then used an ANBU soldier on my payroll to blend in with the villagers so he could kill the young man. We then watched and waited for an opportune time to strike. Since Jiraiya-sama, Yamato-san and Kakashi-san were away from the village on long assignments and that Tsunade-sama gave him some time off to train, we just decided to wait for him to exhaust himself and attack when he was at his weakest. Fortunately for us, that time was when the shift change for the ANBU guards was happening, when security was light and my men were in charge of that perimeter." Oguri resumed.

'Unfortunately for the bastards, only Naruto and I knew about his weakened seal.' Tsunade thought as Anko continued her interrogation.

"But how does Hokage-sama figure in all this?" The female jonin asked.

"Orochimaru anticipated that there was a chance Naruto might use the Kyubbi's chakra to defend himself. If we were able to kill him, fine. But if we were unsuccessful in our attack, then we would use the hatred the council had against him to execute the brat for murder since I knew the majority of the council considered him the demon." Oguri informed them causing the ones who didn't think much of the boy to lower their heads in shame. Sakura and Neji frowned slightly after hearing it. Even though they were friends with Naruto, they couldn't help but think about the past when they both looked down at him. Hinata was on the verge of tears. "We were sure that Tsunade-sama would come to his aid due to the many debates about banishing Naruto from the village. When the trial was to commence and Tsunade-sama defended the boy, I was going to accuse her of treason for putting the boy needs in front of the village and have her removed as Hokage or force her to resign. I'm sure the majority of us would have voted unanimously for her removal, which would give us a chance to execute him without any defense since no matter what he said to claim his innocence, those on the council that hated the brat would be against him regardless." He finally finished.

Everyone in the council room was silent after hearing the confession of the notorious crime boss. All of the council members hated the snake sannin for killing the Sandaime and nearly destroying the village. But the fact that he was using their own hatred, fear and insecurities to manipulate them from the shadows left a sour taste in their mouths. What was worse was that if Naruto had been captured by the ANBU guards, he and Oguri's plans would have gone exactly as he detailed it.

'You can't even come at me and Naruto directly, can you Orochimaru? You're going to pay for this you SLIMY SON OF A BITCH!!' Tsunade roared in her mind. "Anko, remove the jutsu from Oguri. Everyone except council members, please leave the room." She said in an authoritative tone.

"Yes Hokage-sama!" All of them complied in unison and they all left leaving the council members and the crime boss who was recovering from the jutsu. When he did, an enraged female sannin was hovering over him and all the color from his face drained completely.

"W-wait Tsunade-sama, I'll g-give you a-anything you w-want! Just n-name your p-price!" Oguri stuttered as his pants began to soil. The legendary sucker's lips curled up into a malicious grin.

"Oguri Kozunosuke, also known as Za Kuro Tentei. I, Tsunade of the legendary sannin, Godaime Hokage of Konoha find you guilty of multiple counts of murder, conspiracy and high treason against the land of fire and our allies. The penalty is death." Tsunade said in a voice that could freeze the hottest fire. "As for my price, I'LL TAKE YOUR GODDAMN HEAD!!" She shouted. And with a swift roundhouse kick containing all the monstrous strength she had, the female sannin took his head clean off his shoulders, stunning everyone in the room. She calmly walked over to the head and picked it up and sat back down at the council table with the head by her side. The expression on the deceased crime boss's face was of his mouth open screaming in horror. "If anybody has something to say about what I just did, now's the time! I'll claim your fucking head too!!" Tsunade yelled angrily to everyone. Not a single council member said a word, not even daring to look at the enraged ninja leader. "I didn't think so…" She said in a dangerously calm voice. "Now then, I think the time has finally come to pull out my trump card." The legendary sucker said.

"Trump Card?" Shibi questioned in his quiet voice. The Hokage smiled slyly as she pulled out a red scroll and a kunai. Cutting her thumb with the kunai to draw some blood, she spread it on the scroll and made some hand seals slamming her hand on it. In a puff of smoke, a number of old scrolls appeared.

"What are all these old scrolls for Tsunade-sama?" Koharu asked in a demanding tone.

"Let's just say that I'm assuming my role as the Hime no Hokages (Princess of the Hokages) and changing our home for the better you old hag." She spat. Everyone stared incredulously at her as she sat with a triumphant smile on her face. 'Naruto, koishii (beloved), this is for you. I'm sorry I didn't have the courage to do this sooner.' Tsunade thought depressingly as she begun to use her 'trump card' to change the face of Konoha forever for the person who may never return.

Land of Metal border checkpoint-Rest Stop

"So brother, where to next?" Gaara asked as the four ninjas ate an early lunch at the checkpoint rest stop.

"Hmm, let's see." Naruto pondered as he pulled out the map. "Okay the next village is…No Way!" The spiky blonde's eyes widened like plates as he looked at the map.

"What is it Naruto-kun?" Temari inquired as a huge grin came across her boyfriend's face.

"The next village is Ramen no Sato (The Village of Ramen)! They make the best ramen in the world!!" Naruto cheered loudly as a speck of drool formed on his mouth. His friends chuckled inwardly as he looked like a kid in a candy store.

'Ha Ha! No wonder he looks so fucking happy.' Tayuya thought affectionately.

"Come on guys! If we leave now we can be there in a couple hours!" The spiky blonde shouted as he picked Temari up and ran past the checkpoint at high speeds. The wind mistress was going to protest, but she loved Naruto when he was like this so she just started to laugh and enjoyed the ride. Gaara and Tayuya just looked at the dust where the blonde duo was a moment ago and started to bust out laughing.

"Shall we Gaara-kun?" Tayuya asked smiling at her 'little tanuki (Tanuki-raccoon dog)'.

"Let's Tayuya-chan." Gaara replied smiling back at his 'little hidama (Hidama-fireball)'. He picked the kunoichi up and started to run past the checkpoint too catching up to the two an hour later.

The Village of Ramen-Two hours later

"Welcome to the Village of Ramen!" A beautiful and energetic young woman wearing a blue kimono greeted the four as they entered the gates. They looked around as they saw colorful decorations and different types of people hustling and bustling throughout the streets.

"What's going on?" Temari inquired.

"You four must be new here. Today is our annual World Noodle festival. Every year people from every land come to play fun games and enjoy the different contests like the ramen eating contest." The young woman explained. "Why don't you stay for the festival? It'll be fun and there's something for everyone." She recommended.

"Well guys, what do you say?" Naruto asked his family.

"A festival huh? Sounds like fun. I'm in." The sandy blonde said happily as she took Naruto's hand.

"Count me in too partner! I could use some quality time with my Tanuki-kun." Tayuya added taking Gaara's hand causing him to smile at her.

"Hmm…Why not? It looks like fun and I could use some quality time too with my Hidama-chan." The master of sand replied.

"Alright, let's go have some fun!!" Naruto yelled punching his fist in the air.

"YEAH!" The others shouted as they fist-punched with their leader and went inside the village. They immediately went to the only hotel that had vacancies taking the last two rooms. Although the rooms they took were for couples only, they didn't mind at all since the rooms were next to each other. Naruto and Temari took the room on the right while Gaara and Tayuya took the room to the left. Naruto changed in the bathroom while Temari changed in the bedroom so they could surprise each other.

"I'm ready Naruto-kun!" Temari yelled at the bathroom door.

"Okay, I'm ready too!" He yelled back. Naruto came out wearing a navy blue kimono with an open black vest shirt on top with a red Uzumaki spiral on the back. When he saw his koishii, he knew it was worth the wait. She was wearing a sky blue kimono that had cloud patterns that looked like it was being blown by the wind. It hugged her every curve and showed one of her sexy legs. She let her sandy hair out and wrapped it in a ponytail while she held a small version of her battle fan which showed one star in her hand.

"Well Naruto-kun, do you like what you see?" Temari asked seductively while giving him a sexy pose. A huge blush came across Naruto's face as he walked up to the sandy blonde and embraced the young woman, crushing his lips into hers while holding her back with one hand and caressing her behind with the other. Naruto lowered his hand and massaged the exposed leg while Temari grabbed the back of his head to deepen the kiss as she moaned non-stop in his mouth while their tongues danced with each other. They eventually broke the kiss and after getting the air their lungs so desperately needed, the sandy blonde giggled and said, "I'll take that as a yes."

They left their room and headed down to the lobby where Tayuya and Gaara were waiting for them. The master of sand was wearing a blood red kimono with a black kanji on the back that says ai (love) while the flutist was wearing a reddish pink kimono that had different musical notes on it.

"What the fuck took you guys so long?" Tayuya asked impatiently.

"Sorry Tayuya-chan. We were just checking out our kimonos." Naruto replied while hooking an arm around Temari's waist.

"Yeah right." Gaara chuckled causing the blonde duo to blush.

"You're one to talk ototo (little brother)." Temari retorted as she pointed to his hair which was a lot messier than normal. The red haired duo blushed as Tayuya fixed Gaara's hair, causing the blonde duo to laugh.

"You know what? Fuck you both!" Tayuya yelled in embarrassment which caused them to laugh even harder.

"Let's meet back here for dinner. Have fun you two!" Naruto said to Gaara and Tayuya after the laugh fest.

"You too Naruto-kun! See you later!" The red haired kunoichi replied happily. And with that the two couples went their separate ways.

Gaara & Tayuya

The red haired duo was enjoying the sights and sounds of the festival as they went on the various rides with Tayuya happily screaming on the rollercoaster like a banshee and Gaara laughing like a maniac. They eventually came to the entertainment area where they saw regular people on stage trying their hardest to act.

"What the hell are these stupid ass people trying to do?" Tayuya asked one of the festival staff.

"We're having a stage drama contest. Those who can act the best on stage will receive a first place trophy and a cash prize." The staff person explained.

"Hmm…Interesting." Gaara said rubbing his chin.

"Want to give it a try Gaara-kun?" The flutist asked her boyfriend.

"Yes. I have an idea on how we're going to win." He said as he whispered in her ear. The kunoichi's lips curled into a smile.

"Gaara, you're a goddamn genius." Tayuya said affectionately as she gave him a quick kiss after the explanation. After the last group of people got of the stage, the red haired duo got prepared to win the grand prize. As the curtains rolled up Tayuya was on the right of the stage playing a hauntingly beautiful song on her flute, while Gaara was in the middle of the stage holding a prop skull in his hands similar to the way Hamlet did in the Shakespeare play.

"Yes mother, I understand now that I need to kill people in order to exist. Now that I know the truth, I am at peace." Gaara said in a poetic voice to the skull that was his 'mother'. "From now on I'll live only for myself. I'll love only myself." He continued as he looked into the eyes of the skull while kneeling down on one knee. "As it was you who was my life, now it is the death of others that will sustain me. It makes me almost happy to be alive. And there will be no end to it until it is time for me to join you in the abyss. As long as there are still people to kill in this great wide crowded world, I will never disappear." Gaara said changing his tone from poetic to dramatic as if he's been acting for years. The crowd was hanging on his every word as he stood up and held the skull to his side and looked up at the horizon. "Now let us go mother, so that we both can feel alive!!" He finished in a climatic fashion.

The whole crowd was silent for a moment until everyone started to clap and cheer for the master of sand and the flutist giving them both a standing ovation.

"There's no doubt about it! The winner of the stage drama contest is Gaara and Tayuya for 'Musings of a Motherless Madman!'" The host proclaimed causing the crowd to cheer louder as the two claimed their trophy and prize money. Tayuya couldn't help but pull down her lower eyelid at the other contestants.

"Take that motherfuckers!" The foul mouthed flutist said to the losers causing them to grumble. As they left the stage Gaara became swarmed by beautiful girls asking for his autograph while the guys asked Tayuya for hers. They signed all of them and tried to leave but the girls wouldn't leave the young man alone.

"Wow Gaara-kun, you were so passionate on stage." One girl said.

"And you're sooo handsome!" Another girl said.

"Do you have a girlfriend Gaara-kun? If not we'll love you!!" A third girl said rubbing the ai kanji on his back.

"BACK OFF FAN BITCHES! HE'S MINE!" Tayuya hollered finally having enough.

"And who the hell are you?!" All the fan girls asked in unison.

"I'm someone who's about to make all you sluts strip!" Tayuya replied with an evil smirk as she pulled out her flute.

"WHAT?!" All the girls yelled as the flutist made hand seals and called out "Ototon: Hachou Konmei (Sound Release: Wavelength Confusion)!" A minute later all the fan girls started clawing each other and stripping each other of all their clothes in the catfight to end all catfights. All the men who were witnessing this spectacle had nosebleeds and big perverted grins on their faces as they watched and cheered the confused girls who continued to fight in their birthday suits. Gaara was no exception to the rule until he sensed his girlfriend glared at him, causing him to wipe the blood off his face and nose with his kimono.

"Tayuya-chan…" Gaara said in a disappointed tone trying to scold her for using the jutsu.

"So I'm a little fucking possessive. Sue me." Tayuya pouted as they walked off while the male spectators started to bid on who would win the battle.

Naruto & Temari

Meanwhile on another part of town, the blonde duo walked side by side down the street as the guys checked out the sexy looking Temari while the girls were checking out the strong and handsome Naruto whose kimono was slightly damp from winning the ramen eating contest.

"Well Tema-chan, aren't you proud of me for winning?" Naruto asked happily.

"I'm ecstatic Naruto-kun." Temari replied her voice dripping with playful sarcasm. They just both started laughing a minute later. After the contest they went to the games area. The spiky blonde won many different prizes for his koishii while she rewarded him with many kisses at the kissing booth after he won. After dropping the handful of prizes and huge trophy off at their hotel room, they decided to get a light snack. Naruto got himself a fresh dango stick while he bought Temari some roasted chestnuts in a heatproof bag. As they were enjoying their snacks and each other, the sandy blonde suddenly yelped in surprise as somebody pinched her behind hard. She knew it wasn't Naruto because he was too busy eating his dango and she knew he was always gentle when he touched her intimately.

"Hey, what the hell do think you're-" Temari turned around and started to yell until she saw the person who did it. "…doing?" She finished as she looked up at the man. He was over seven and a half feet tall and he looked like he weighed over five hundred pounds. But the weight on him looked more like muscle than fat.

"I just wanted to see if that butt of yours is as soft as I thought it was. And it is." The large man chuckled. Naruto immediately dropped his snack and moved Temari behind him looking up fearlessly at the large young man with an angry glare.

"Hey you fat bastard! Nobody touches Tema-chan like that and gets away with it!" The spiky blonde growled at him.

"Oh really? And what are you going to do about it tiny?" He growled back as he shoved him with his hand pushing the young man a step back.

"Teme ('Why you' in a disrespectful way/Also used as a slang word for 'bastard')! I'm going to kick your fat ass!" Naruto roared as he pulled the sleeves back on his kimono and cracked his knuckles.

"Hold on a minute tiny. If you want to fight with me so badly, then meet me at the wrestling ring in the gladiator area and sign up for the exhibition match in a half hour. If you win, you can have my championship. But if I win, I take the sexy girl behind you on a date." The big man said. Naruto looked back at Temari for confirmation. He wanted to fight him really badly, but he didn't want to make her uncomfortable. Temari gave him her trademark smirk and nodded showing her faith in him which caused her koishii to smile back at her.

"You're on you fat bastard!" Naruto said confidently.

"My name is Tanikaze Akashi. I'm the sumo wrestling champion of the world. Prepare to lose tiny!" He said smugly.

"Humph! Well my name is Uzumaki Naruto! Remember it! 'Cause I'm going to kick your ass for my kirei yuri (pretty lily)!" Naruto snapped back proudly causing the kunoichi to blush hard. The two young men shook hands and went separate ways to the gladiator area.

Fifteen minutes later-Gladiator area

Naruto sat in the challengers' locker room as he waited for Temari to register him for the exhibition match. She returned a minute later.

"You're all signed up Naruto-kun." Temari said as she entered the locker room.

"Thanks Tema-chan." He said giving her a smile.

"Oh yes, they told me you had to wear this." She said as she reached into her obi and tossed him a rather flimsy piece of cloth.

"O-oh y-yeah. I forgot I had to wear t-this." The spiky blonde stuttered as he looked at the sumo underwear in befuddlement. Temari stared at the cloth and her face became red at the thought of seeing him in it. He started taking off his kimono when he realized she was still there. "Umm…Do you mind Tema-chan?" He said with a flushed face snapping her out of her thoughts.

"Oh! Sorry Naruto-kun…" Temari said blushing twice as hard. But before she left, the sandy blonde walked up to Naruto and gave him a passionate kiss.

"What was that for Tema-chan?" He asked softly after breaking the kiss.

"Just a little gift for defending my honor earlier. I'll reward you properly later." She replied in a sultry voice giving him a sexy wink. He gave her another fiery kiss and she walked away moving her hips back and forth in a sexy way.

'Thank you Kami…' The spiky blonde thought as he looked at his girl leave and he started to change. He arrived in the ring about ten minutes later as Akashi stood at edge looking arrogantly at him. The crowd looked at the size between the two and felt this was a match between David and Goliath, completely forgetting who won that legendary fight.

"From the East, Uzumaki! From the West, Tanikaze!" A man at the ring said in a harmonious tone indicating the opponents in the ring. The ring announcer walked into the middle of the ring and started to speak.

"Ladies and Gentleman, this sumo exhibition match is now a championship match at the request of the champion himself!" The announcer said causing the crowd to cheer loudly. "Introducing the challenger in the East corner, Uzumaki Naruto!" He yelled as the people cheered loudly for the spiky blonde The women started to scream, swoon and faint as they looked at the toned muscular body of the near naked boy.

"WHAT A SEXY MAN!!" All the girls screamed causing Temari's blood to come to a boil.

'So this is what it's like to have fan girls.' Naruto thought as he blushed and rubbed the back of his head.

"And his opponent in the West corner. The sumo champion of the world, Tanikaze Akashi!" The announcer yelled as the crowd started to boo him. The large man just snorted in disgust.

"Damn. It sucks to be him." A familiar voice said next to Temari.

"Tayuya, Gaara, you're here." Temari said as the red haired duo took a seat next to the kunoichi.

"We heard people talking about the sumo champion putting up his title in an exhibition match and decided to go and watch." The master of sand explained.

"Tanikaze Akashi has never lost a match since starting his sumo career. Naruto-kun and I used to watch his matches every now and then." The flutist added.

"Well he's never had to go against the world's most unpredictable ninja." Temari said proudly. Tayuya and Gaara nodded in agreement.

"Alright, the rule of the match is simple. The first person to knock their opponent out of the ring is the winner. Gentleman, bow to each other and let the match begin!" The announcer said as the people began to cheer for their favorites.

"Ganbatte (Go for it) Naruto-kun!!" The sandy blonde shouted.

"Stomp a mud hole in his fat ass and run it dry Naruto-kun!!" Tayuya yelled at her best friend. Gaara just nodded and smiled warmly at his 'brother'. Naruto smiled at his family and nodded. Temari's honor was on the line and he had no intention of losing. He turned and bowed at Akashi while he returned the gesture. They took the sumo position and charged at each other trying to push the other back. The spiky blonde has seen enough sumo matches in his free time and he knew what to do.

'Damn, what is this guy made of? This fat bastard is as strong as an ox!' Naruto thought as he tried to push him back to no avail. Then his eyes widened when he and his friends realized why that was.

"That cheating bastard, Akashi's using chakra to increase his strength and defense!" Temari said in disgust.

"He couldn't do that unless he was…" Tayuya started.

"…A ninja." Gaara finished.

'No wonder he's undefeated. Well have I got a surprise for him!' Naruto thought as a grin crept up to his face. He held the champion back with one hand while a small amount of blue chakra formed in the palm of his hand.

"Time to lose, you cheat!" The spiky blonde whispered to Akashi as he pulled his free hand back and thrust his open palm into his chest whispering so that the crowd wouldn't hear him "Futon: Rasenshushou (Wind Release: Spiraling Palm).". The large young man didn't know what him as he was violently tossed out of the ring with the force of a powerful mini tornado. Fortunately no one saw Naruto's attack save his friends who all smiled after he saw him teach the dishonorable champion a lesson in manners. After the referee check out the now unconscious Akashi, he walked over and raised the spiky blonde's hand in victory causing everyone to cheer loudly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, history has been made here at the World Noodle festival! The winner and new sumo wrestling champion of the world, UZUMAKI NARUTO!" The announcer shouted as the crowd roared and chanted his name. The referee wrapped the championship belt around the young man. The only thing Naruto could do was pump his fist in the air and give the victory sign as Temari, Gaara and Tayuya ran up to the ring to congratulate him.

"I knew you could it Naruto-kun! Thanks for defending my honor!" Temari hollered over the crowd.

"It was all for you Tema-chan." The spiky blonde said warmly as he captured her lips in a victory kiss causing the crowd to cheer more. Not even trying to yell over the very loud spectators, Gaara gave Naruto a pound as congratulations after he broke the kiss.

Meanwhile, Tayuya's head was hovering over the still unconscious ex-champ. She used the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique) to form clones all around him and said to the cheater in stereo, "YOU GOT KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT!!" The three ninjas just fell on the floor laughing hard at the flutist act.

Thirty minutes later

The four ninjas headed into Akashi's locker room after Naruto changed clothes and signed a plethora of autographs from his newfound fans. They saw the large man was fully awake and holding his head down in shame and embarrassment.

"What do you want? Have you come to laugh at me?" The ex-champ spat venomously.

"No. I've come to give this back to you." Naruto replied with a serious look on his face as he handed him his championship belt back. The large young man was stunned at the act and was about to ask why when he silently raised a hand. "I spoke to the president of the sumo league and he has allowed me to retire undefeated and undisputed in the record books. I could've told him that you cheated and used chakra to enhance your strength and defense, but I didn't. I only used my chakra against you to teach you a lesson. He paid me a large sum of money as a token of thanks for a great match. We have an important journey to continue and being a sumo champion would draw unwanted attention to us. Besides, the only reason I fought you was to defend Temari's honor. That's all." The spiky blonde explained as Akashi lowered his head again.

"I don't know what ninja village you're from, but I do know that a person's title represents their honor. It's too damn bad a cheating bastard like you has none." Temari growled. The four friends started to leave the locker room until the large man ran to them.

"Please wait a minute." Akashi called. They looked at him wondering what he could possibly have to say to them. He handed the belt back to Naruto and bowed to him as a show of respect causing everyone to gasp. "The sumo league can always make another championship belt. I want you to have that one as a token of our match and as an apology for my shameful actions. I pray to Kami that one day you and your friends can forgive me for my dishonor." He said in a regretful tone.

"Akashi…" Naruto said as a small smile crept up to his face. He walked over and put a hand on his shoulder. "I'm willing to forgive you if Tema-chan does." He said as he and the others looked at the sandy blonde. She sighed and nodded giving her koishii a soft smile.

"Alright, I'll let it slide this time. But only if you stop cheating and grabbing women's asses." Temari said seriously while glaring at him.

"You have my word. Thank you…" Akashi said happily agreeing to the terms. He and Naruto looked at each other and shook hands as a sign of burying the hatchet.

"Take care Akashi. Maybe we'll meet again someday." The spiky blonde said warmly.

He smiled and nodded. "I'll never forget you Uzumaki Naruto. May Kami protect you on your journey Yokozuna (Champion/Honorable title given to sumo champions)." Akashi said. The four friends left the locker room and the large young man was grateful he met them and showed him the error of his ways.

An Hour later-Hotel restaurant

"This festival is so much fun!" Temari said happily as they sat down and enjoyed a delicious dinner. The hotel manager had heard what happened at the sumo match and decided that the four friends could stay at the establishment for a couple of days free of charge. They gracefully accepted.

"You said it Temari. So much shit has happened today. Too bad this festival comes only once a year." Tayuya said after taking a sip of her sake.

"Yeah. When we find our new home, I hope we'll always have days like this." Naruto said in a gentle voice as they all nodded in agreement.

"You said it brother." Gaara said with a smile. They all looked at each other and brought their glasses together in a silent toast to that place to call their own. As soon as they finished the meal, an announcement was played over the hotel loudspeaker.

"Attention all hotel guests. The festival ball which signals the last event of the night will begin in one hour. Proper dress is acquired to attend. Have a good evening!" It said. Temari's eyes brightened as she walked over and grabbed Naruto's arm.

"Come on Naruto-kun. It'll be fun!" She squealed.

"Aw come on Tema-chan. Do we have to? It'll be embarrassing." Naruto complained with a flushed face.

"I'll be wearing that sexy new gown I got at the land of metal." She cooed in his ear.

"You mean that sexy gown?" He asked as his ears became red.

"Uh-huh…" The sandy blonde answered in a sensuous tone. Naruto knew he was beat when she spoke like that.

"Okay Tema-chan, just don't blame if I step on your feet." The spiky blonde chuckled. She kissed him on the cheek as a thank you. "What about you two?" He said as he turned to the red haired duo.

"I think we'll call it a night and hang out at the bar for a while." Tayuya replied while Gaara nodded in agreement.

"Alright, just don't drink to much Tayuya-chan. You know how you get when you do." The spiky blonde said sternly as he recalled the many times he dragged the drunken flutist home.

"Yeah yeah, stop treating me like a goddamn kid! I'm older than you Naruto-kun!" Tayuya stated matter-of-factly.

"Too bad you don't act like it. Or do I have to tell Tema-chan and Gaara what you were wearing the last time I dragged you home when you got drunk?" Naruto countered with a smirk.

"F-fuck you Naruto-kun…" The kunoichi replied in defeat as her face became red. Gaara and Temari tilted their heads in curiosity but remained silent figuring it was better not to ask.

"Don't worry Naruto; I'll keep an eye on her." The master of sand said putting an arm around the red haired kunoichi's waist.

"Thanks Gaara. Let's get ready Tema-chan!" Naruto yelled as he took her hand and headed to their room.

An Hour later-Festival Ball

After washing up and getting dressed, the blonde duo made it on time to the last event of the festival which was a dance. Naruto wore a black tuxedo with a white shirt, dark navy blue tie and white gloves that had a dark navy blue Uzumaki spiral on each of them. Temari wore a sexy black evening gown with a white stripe on the right side that was cut at the shoulders showing a little cleavage and the lower right showing off a little leg. Naruto's blonde hair was slightly spikier than normal while Temari wore her sandy hair down using a fan to wrap her hair in a small ponytail. Everybody stared in amazement at the two as they made their way to the dance floor. The spiky blonde held his koishii's arm the way a gentleman holds a lady's arm as if to escort her. Temari felt like a princess and was smiling from ear to ear, while Naruto was a nervous wreck who was definitely not used to this. Sensing his discomfort she took his hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.

"It's alright Naruto-kun. I'm with you." She said softly. He smiled warmly at her and started to relax as a slow song began to play. The blonde duo headed to the middle of the dance floor and faced each other bowing to one another as if they were royalty. Temari put her hands on his abs while Naruto put his hands on her hips. He pulled her close and she rested her head on his shoulder as they swayed to the rhythm of the song.

"You're wearing that lily perfume I bought you." Naruto said as he gently took a whiff of her hair.

"Do you like it Naruto-kun?" Temari whispered as she took in his scent. He smelled like a crisp mountain spring to her.

"Yeah…" He answered softly.

"I'm glad…" She said as she strengthened her embrace on her koishii. "It's nice isn't it?" The kunoichi said quietly out of the blue.

"What is?" The young man inquired.

"That we can be ourselves when we're together like this. I miss my brother Kankuro, but I'm happy the four of us can travel together like this. It makes me feel like we're truly a family." The young woman replied truthfully.

"I understand how you feel Tema-chan…" Naruto said as he strengthened his embrace on her.

"Naruto-kun, I love you so much. I wouldn't be who I am now if it wasn't for you. None of us would. I don't care if we end up in a run down shack hiding from the rest of the world. As long as I can be with you, I'm happy." Temari spoke from the bottom of her heart. The spiky blonde felt like he was about to cry.

"I feel the same way Tema-chan. But I'll try to find us something better than a run down shack. If we did live in one, I wouldn't hear the end of it from Tayuya-chan. I can just picture her saying 'Naruto-kun, get me the fuck out of this goddamn shithole before I fucking lose it!'" Naruto said seriously adding a little joke at the end. They both started to giggle trying their hardest not to bust out laughing. After the quiet laughter subsided they stopped dancing and smiled at each other. Cerulean met teal and nothing more needed to be said as they kissed their souls once more deeply and passionately. At that moment the fireworks signaling the end festival started to go off. It was the most romantic moment of their young lives.

Lemon Alert!!-The following is a Naruto & Temari lemon! You have been warned!!

An hour later-Naruto & Temari's room

Two naked young bodies laid on top of a soft bed as their clothes lay strewn all over the floor as a result of passionate kisses and hands hurriedly touching each other's bodies. Temari looked up at Naruto who was looking back at her with such love and care. They both knew they were in a place the two of them hoped they would arrive at someday. But surprisingly, as open as they were to each other, they never talked about, silently deciding to let nature take its course. The blonde duo said nothing to each other and just looked into each others souls with their eyes making sure that tonight was the right time.

They sensed no doubt and fear within themselves. And with that Naruto made the first move as he claimed her lips with his searching her mouth with ravenous enthusiasm. Temari moaned against him and kissed her koishii back with as much passion and vigor. Their hands searched each others bodies already knowing the special spots to touch from all the make out sessions they had. Even though it was only several minutes, their tongues continued to wage war for what seemed like hours until Temari finally submitted and allowed herself to drown in a sea of pure bliss. Sensing his advantage, Naruto broke the kiss and lifted up the young woman in a sitting position so he could get behind her. He molded his legs with hers and put a hand around her waist to steady her.

"Now just relax Tema-chan…" Naruto whispered in her ear in a husky voice as he gave it a butterfly kiss. Temari complied with his request and started to relax, leaning her back on his muscular chest. As soon as he knew she was settled, His left hand reached out and started to massage her beautiful and voluptuous breast while marauding her neck with his mouth with a mixture of butterfly and melted kisses. Temari began to moan as his gentle caress and loving kisses began to produce waves of pleasure in her body. And it grew stronger with each passing second. "Do you like this Tema-chan?" The spiky blonde whispered in her ear as he nibbled it gently.

"Yes Naruto-kun. Don't stop! It feels so good!" Temari said in between moans. He was happy he was pleasing his koishii and gladly rewarded her as his right hand went to her lonely breast while his left hand tweaked her left nipple, gently caressing it with his thumb and forefinger. The young woman's moans grew stronger as his breast massages and melting kisses on her neck became more and more unbearably pleasant. She eventually grabbed his spiky hair and brought his mouth to hers in an oxygen depraving kiss. He stopped his ministrations on her chest and turned her around laying her down gently, making sure not to break the powerful kiss. Once that was accomplished he returned to gently massaging her chest and swirling his tongue in her mouth, setting the kunoichi's entire body on fire. They finally broke the kiss and started to gasp for air.

"You're so beautiful Tema-chan." Naruto whispered as he molded her cheek with his hand. The sandy blonde nuzzled it lovingly as she molded his cheek with her hand. He happily returned the gesture.

"Can I touch you down there?" Temari asked seductively. He smiled warmly at her and nodded. She purposely took her time and slowly traced her fingertips throughout his chest and back like a gentle feather letting her tongue flick out to taste him until she reached his manhood and started to stroke it making Naruto shudder and groan in delight. Her confident side starts to come out and she starts to feel in control as she sped up her strokes while trailing hot kisses across his chest and neck. Naruto loved what his girlfriend was doing to him, but like Temari he wasn't the type of person to back down. Deciding to take his advantage back, he latched his mouth onto her right nipple an started to suck it. The young woman let go of his manhood and arched her head back calling the name of her 'tormentor' and moaning loudly as a powerful spark of electricity coursed through her veins making her toes curl up in pleasure.

She once again began to sing her sexy song for her lover and wrapped her arms around his head as he sucked, kissed and gently nibbled one breast while he massaged the other. He begun to alternate between them until he stopped and molded her lips into his, continuing to massage one breast with one hand while he massaged her womanhood with the other making her moan louder and louder. Completely sedated by the pleasure Naruto was giving her, Temari just allowed him to do whatever he wanted to her. She loved him that much and knew he wouldn't do anything to hurt her. He lifted one of her strong and sexy legs and gently caressed it while kissing her inner thigh causing her let out a lustful moan of pleasure. He alternated between each leg, caressing, kissing, licking and gently sucking slowly on each one and it drove the sandy blonde crazy how wonderful it felt. She wanted him, needed him, craved him so badly she was willing let him kiss, touch, caress and taste her all night just so she could feel him inside her once. Once the time came and he entered her, the kunoichi threw her head back and let out what sounded like a mix between a scream and a moan.

"Are you all right my kirei yuri?" Naruto asked her gently as he kissed her tears away.

"Yes. Thank you Naruto-kun." Temari replied weakly. He kissed her gently and waited for her to recover.

"Are you ready Tema-chan?" The spiky blonde asked quietly when she looked okay to him.

"I am. My heart, body, and soul are yours Naruto-kun." The sandy blonde replied with a look of pure happiness and joy in her eyes which he had as well. That was all Naruto needed as he claimed his 'property' and kissed her with love, passion and lust all rolled into one. Temari wrapped her arms and legs around him tightly, pulling him deeper inside her and moaned non-stop increasing their pleasure and their motions. Every kiss, caress and thrust was in perfect harmony as the blonde duo moved in complete synch, thus becoming one in a practice as old as time itself. They reached their climax at the same time and were hit with a feeling that was indescribable, a feeling they wouldn't trade for the world.

Time passed and Naruto laid on the bed holding Temari gently while his koishii snuggled into his chest and breathed into his neck, both enjoying the afterglow of their love making. They stayed that way for an unknown amount of time until the sandy blonde started to speak.

"Oh Naruto-kun that was…" Temari began to say softly.

"Amazing?" Naruto finished her sentence as he kissed her head and held her closer while gently stroking her hair.

"Yes! It was everything I knew it would be." The kunoichi said happily as she snuggled deeper in his chest.

"I feel the same way too. Aishiteru waga kirei yuri (I love you my pretty lily)." He said in the voice that made her his so long ago.

"I love you too Naruto-kun." She said softly as tears of joy fell from her eyes. He lifted her up and kissed her gently wiping the tears away.

"So Tema-hime, do you wish to please your master once more?" The spiky blond asked playfully as he hovered above her. She pulled his head down and gave him a short, but hard kiss.

"Only if you're gentle with me Naruto-sama." The sandy blonde answered sarcastically after breaking the kiss and giving him her trademark smirk. Naruto just smirked back and with the speed of a cobra he gave Temari a swift, but gentle caress of her womanhood while tweaking one of her nipples causing her to gasp and moan out loud.

"No promises…" He chuckled as he begun to massage her breast and womanhood once more.

"Cheater…" She moaned just before he captured her lips while pressing his chest into her breasts, claiming his 'property' once more.

That concludes the lemon for this fic. We now return to our regularly scheduled story.

Meanwhile, as Naruto and Temari continued to make passionate love, a drunken Tayuya and Gaara made their way upstairs. The master of sand did a good job keeping the flutist drinking in check. That is until Tayuya coaxed her boyfriend into drinking a shot of grade A sake with her which led to many, many more shots.

"Hee Hee Hee. Wo I way to wyself hic, Wat da wuck is up wit dat wandex and dat waircut?" Tayuya said to her smashed boyfriend.

"I know hic Hee Hee. And wat is all dat wurning fwames of yuth cwap." Gaara agreed feeling giddy.

"Wat dey should do is wurn up dose woddamn cwothes and wowl waircuts hic." The flutist said causing the wasted red duo to bust out laughing. They finally made it to their rooms and while Tayuya was fumbling with the key, Gaara heard moans coming from the blonde duo's room.

"Hic wey Tawuya-wan, wat is Nawuto and Temawi doing?" Gaara asked. After unlocking the door, Tayuya walked over and listened to the sandy blonde moaning loudly at that moment. A drunken sly smile crept up on her face.

"Come on Gaawa-wun hic, I'll show wu. You're woing to wuv dis shit hee hee." The flutist said in a drunken slur. She took the young man's hand and pulled him into the room. Gaara just laughed and let himself be dragged in. Several minutes later the whole floor with the exception of Naruto and Temari could her Tayuya moaning very loudly.

"Wes, Tawuya-wan, wake we weel awive!!" Gaara said loudly in a drunken passion.

"Wes Waster! I will owey!" Tayuya moaned loudly. Although the blonde duo surprisingly slept peacefully, everybody else had an eye open as they cringed in horror over what was going on in that room.

Naruto woke up with the sun shining in his face as a beautiful new day started. He looked down slightly to see Temari sleeping peacefully with her head on his chest. When the sandy blonde woke up a few minutes later, she looked up to see her koishii smiling warmly at her.

"Good morning Tema-chan." He said softly.

"Good morning Naruto-kun. Did you sleep well?" She inquired with a gentle smile.

"Next to you, who wouldn't?" The spiky blonde replied cheerfully.

"You're sweet. Corny, but sweet." Temari said with a smirk. Naruto just chuckled lightly before giving her a morning kiss causing her to moan softly in his mouth. They washed up and came out of their room an hour later for breakfast. Just as they locked the door, Gaara and Tayuya came out a minute later with bloodshot eyes, messy hair, slightly pale skin from constant upchucking and a king size headache courtesy of a certified hangover.

"What happened to you two?" Naruto and Temari questioned in unison as they stared wide-eyed at the two.

"Don't want to talk about it." Gaara and Tayuya said simultaneously as they slowly headed downstairs with the flutist rubbing her lower back from last night's 'activities'.

"Do we really want to know?" Temari asked looking at her boyfriend. They stared at each other for a minute and just smiled.

"Nah!!" They both said as they headed downstairs to eat breakfast.

Otogakure

"And that is report Orochimaru-sama." A sound ANBU said.

"I see. You may leave now." The snake sannin replied. The ANBU nodded and disappeared. "So Za Kuro Tentei is dead." He said in a blasé fashion.

"You seem pretty calm since our plan failed Orochimaru-sama." Kabuto said as he adjusted his glasses.

"Well it may take a while longer to destroy Konoha, but at least we can deal with the other problem." He retorted as he licked his lips with his serpentine tongue.

"I see…" The sound med nin said with an evil smile.

"Once Sasuke-kun gets what he wants, I'll get what I want." Orochimaru said with an evil chuckle.

A Week later-Northeastern checkpoint rest stop

"So what's our next stop fearless leader?" Temari inquired with a chuckle as Naruto checked the map while the others ate.

"Well I was thinking since you guys let me head to the Village of Ramen, that we should head over to Atsui Haru Sawa (Hot Spring Valley) to relax before we head to the next country." The spiky blonde answered. Temari and Tayuya beamed when they heard that they were going to the famous town and high-fived each other before they bear hugged Naruto on both sides nuzzling his cheeks and pressing their chests on him.

"Thanks Naruto-kun!!" The kunoichis said in harmony.

'Life is good.' He thought happily as he blushed and grinned while giving the peace sign. Gaara just groaned and rolled his eyes feeling slightly envious.

Hot Spring Valley-A day later

After eating and resting up for the night, the boys and girls decided to split up for the day. Temari and Tayuya went to the bathhouse famous for their hot springs, while Naruto and Gaara walked around town to see the sights. After having the town's specialty ramen, the 'brothers' walked past a large book store where they saw a long line of men young and old.

"What's going on?" The master of sand asked one of them curiously.

"The new book Icha Icha Tactics Advance comes out today! And their writer is going to sign them at the shop for a couple of days." The young man said excitedly.

"Ero-sennin (Perverted hermit) is here?" Naruto asked incredulously.

"Looks that way…" Gaara replied.

"But unfortunately he hasn't shown up yet." An old man added.

"Heh, knowing him he's probably peeking in the-" Just before the spiky blonde could finish the sentence, he and Gaara's eyes widened at the realization of where Jiraiya was.

"Oh crap!" They both said at once as they started to run trying to save the toad sannin from the death that awaits him.

Bathhouse

'Oh yeah look at all these sexy women here! I'm not sure if this place or Konoha is the best place for research. But I'm not complaining!' Jiraiya thought as he scribbled in his notepad while letting out a perverted giggle. Several feet away the kunoichis were enjoying their nice hot bath.

"Ahhh…Oh yeah this is the fucking shit." Tayuya said in complete bliss.

"You said it Tayuya. I can see why this place is so famous." Temari agreed as the young women closed their eyes, lowered their bodies further into the bath and relaxed enjoying the serene environment. They stayed that way for several minutes until Tayuya opened her eyes suddenly.

"Someone is fucking watching us Temari." The flutist said seriously.

"Are you sure Tayuya?" Temari asked still relaxing.

"I'm positive. Look over there." The red haired kunoichi replied. The sandy blonde opened her eyes and looked to where she was pointing and saw a bit a white hair sticking out of a wooden fence.

"PERVERT!!" The kunoichis shouted alerting all the women to the sannin's presence.

Naruto and Gaara were close to the bathhouse when they heard women screaming. 'Damn that stupid old pervert!' They both thought angrily. As soon as they reached the entrance to the bathhouse, they heard someone yell "Kamaitachi no Jutsu (Cutting Whirlwind Technique)!". A few seconds later they saw someone get thrown into the air along with some wood from the fence. The person that was thrown into the air came crashing down onto the ground. The boys walked over to the person who suffered Temari's wrath and sure enough the man had white hair and a large scroll on his back.

"So it was you Ero-sennin!" Naruto said loudly as he pointed an accusing finger at him.

"It's been a while Naruto. Still loud as ever I see…" Jiraiya groaned before passing out.

"It's hard to believe he's one of the legendary sannin." Gaara sighed.

"You said it brother. And I trained with this perv for three years." The spiky blonde agreed shaking his head. They turned their heads and saw an enraged Temari and Tayuya come out of the entrance wearing small towels around their wet glistening bodies while they carried their weapons causing their boyfriends to smile from ear to ear at how sexy they looked. 'Damn, Tema-chan is really pissed!' he thought as he saw the three stars on her fan.

"Where the hell is that perverted piece of shit?! I'll rip his motherfucking balls off!" Tayuya roared. After the boys shuddered from the flutist comment, they walked over and calmed the girls down telling them to go in and change before more perverts showed up and saw them in their 'outfits'. The kunoichis changed their clothes quickly and came back out with slight blush on their face hoping nobody saw them like that, but they felt better after a quick kiss from their guys. As they dragged the unconscious Jiraiya back to the hotel, Naruto explained why the sannin was here and they talked about whether they should flee or not. They decided not to since Naruto needed his weakened seal fixed, even though the spiky blonde and Susanowo were keeping Kyubbi's demon chakra in check. After they made it back to the hotel, the four friends gathered in Naruto and Temari's room and laid Jiraiya down on the spare bed since the young lovers slept together. Temari filled the empty ice bucket with hot scalding water splashed the toad sage with it.

"AHHH, HOT! What did you do that for Naruto?!" Jiraiya screamed as he finally awoke.

"I'm not Naruto, you perverted old bastard!" Temari said angrily as she pulled out her fan ready to club him with it.

"We promised Naruto-kun we wouldn't kill your filthy ass. But he didn't say anything about maiming you goddamn Ero-sennin!" Tayuya growled while cracking her knuckles violently.

"Wait! Wait! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Please don't maim me." He begged and pleaded on his hands and knees. The girls just turned their heads and snorted in disgust letting the peeping act slide this time. With a sigh of relief, he turned his attention to his former 'disciple'. "Hey. Naruto?" Jiraiya called.

"Huh? What?" The spiky blonde asked tilting his head.

"I found a great place other than the bathhouse for peeping." The sannin replied with a light blush and a perverse grin on his face. He got so caught up in the idea that he forgot that two kunoichis were right next to him.

"You just had to go and push your luck you pervert!" Temari growled as she pulled out her fan while Tayuya pulled out a kunai.

"It's been a while since I've beaten somebody's ass to a pulp. This should be fun!" Tayuya said with a sadistic smile that would make Anko proud.

"H-hey I was just kidding. Right Naruto?" Jiraiya said while looking to the spiky blonde for salvation. Naruto just smirked and ignored him.

"What do you girls want for lunch?" He asked as if nothing was about to happen.

"I'll have a medium rare steak with mixed vegetables Naruto-kun." Temari said happily.

"I'll have chicken teriyaki with rice Naruto-kun." Tayuya said.

"Okay. Let's go Gaara." The spiky blonde said.

"Right behind you brother." The master of sand nodded as they left the room. As soon as the door closed they heard the young woman go to town on the perverted man.

Thirty minutes of ass-kicking and chakra healing later

"Naruto, I heard about the incident in Konoha. And I heard about what happened in Suna too." Jiraiya said seriously as they ate lunch. The four ninjas frowned as the memories of that tragic day came rushing back to their minds. After a few minutes of silence, Naruto explained everything that has happened from then and now.

"I'm sorry Jiraiya-sensei. I'm sure you're disappointed in me." The blonde ninja said sadly.

"Naruto-kun…" Temari and Tayuya said somberly as Jiraiya frowned. Whenever his old student called him sensei, it usually meant bad things.

"Now why would I be disappointed with my student? Besides, I know in my heart that you didn't kill those people on purpose. You've never hated the villagers to do something that bloody." The toad sannin said giving the boy a light smile.

"Thanks Ero-sennin." Naruto said returning the smile before becoming serious. "Lately my seal has been very unstable. I've been losing control a lot when I fight. Even at three tails, I go berserk." He explained.

"Hmm…Show me your seal Naruto." Jiraiya ordered. The spiky blonde nodded and did what he was told. He took off his jacket and both his shirts until his bare chest showed. Jiraiya added a little bit of chakra to the area of his seal until it appeared. His eyes widened in shock as he saw a large crack on the seal. "Have you been in a battle with Orochimaru recently? And if you did, did he hit your seal with a jutsu?" He asked looking him straight in the eyes.

"Yeah…" Naruto replied quietly as the end of that battle against his former teammate and the snake sannin replayed in his mind.

Flashback

"What did you do to me, you snake bastard?" Naruto growled as he put a hand over his seal while Tayuya and Sakura stood by him in a battle positions.

"Ku Ku Ku…You'll find out soon enough Naruto-kun. But when you do, you will lose everything!" Orochimaru said cryptically.

"Don't listen to that scaly motherfucker Naruto-kun. He's just bluffing!" Tayuya spat venomously.

"I thought you knew me better than that Tayuya." The sound village leader chuckled. "Come Sasuke-kun, let us go." He said turning to his apprentice and future body.

"Yes Orochimaru-sama. See you soon dobe (dead last)." Sasuke said with an evil smirk as they vanished.

'What did he mean by 'I'll lose everything'?' The spiky blonde thought.

End Flashback

"That slimy son of a bitch!" Naruto growled sounding like his best friend.

"So that snake bastard is behind this?" Temari asked angrily.

"No doubt about it. He used a kinjutsu (forbidden technique) known as Za Han no Shinshoku (Black Seal of Erosion). It's a sealing jutsu that has the power to erode and destroy seals. It's a very ancient technique that's been forbidden since before my time. Only the Sandaime as well as myself and the other sannin could do something like this without dying due to the amount of chakra needed to use the technique." Jiraiya explained.

"Can you undo the jutsu Jiraiya-sama?" Gaara inquired.

"Not only can I undo it, but I can make it so Naruto won't have to worry about Akatsuki again." He answered confidently.

"What do you mean Ero-sennin?" Naruto asked.

"After I left Konoha, I tried to find a way to counteract the weakening of your seal. I knew I needed something more than the sealing techniques Yamato and I have, and I found the ultimate sealing jutsu. With it you'll permanently gain all of Kyubbi's chakra, his onijutsus (Demon techniques), and all his abilities. Once the transfer of his powers is complete which should take about a year, the demon and the seal itself will cease to exist." Jiraiya explained.

"That's great Ero-sennin!!" Naruto said loudly as he hugged the sannin. All his friends smiled happily at the great news.

"I guess I don't need to ask if you're ready." The old man chuckled causing everyone in the room to laugh. After the laugh fest, Jiraiya ordered the spiky blonde to strip into his boxers which he quickly complied with. Taking out a kunai, the toad sannin drew multiple kanjis on his body from head to toe with Naruto's blood.

"Alright, that's it. Now listen Naruto, you're going to pretty weak for a while after I do this because your chakra will be creating the new seal so you won't be one hundred percent for at least two weeks. In fact you'll barely be able to move for a couple of days so stay here and rest. Do you understand?" Jiraiya requested.

"If it means kissing this damn fox goodbye forever, then I'm ready!" Naruto replied never looking more serious in his life. The toad sannin smiled warmly at him and went through a very large number of hand seals. Once he was done, white chakra began to form on his hands. He placed a hand on Naruto's seal and gripped it with his other.

"Saikou Chouin no Jutsu: Reiki no Amatsu Jouju (Supreme Sealing Technique: Aura of Heavenly Completion)!!" Jiraiya shouted. As soon as he called out the technique Naruto let out an earsplitting scream as the blood kanjis on his body became white and started to come towards the seal changing it's shape. The spiky blonde was then engulfed in a white light for at least a minute until it disappeared altogether. Jiraiya removed his hands and wiped a large amount of sweat from his brow. As soon as he did Naruto opened his eyes making his friends breathe a sigh of relief. "Phew! There, it's done." He said completely exhausted.

"Thanks Ero-sennin…" Naruto said weakly with a warm smile.

"It's the least I can do for my disciple and student. And my friend. Rest well, Naruto. And good luck finding your new home." The toad sannin said warmly.

"Come on guys. Let Naruto-kun get some rest." Temari said taking the role of temporary leader. Tayuya and Gaara nodded in agreement and they walked out the room with Jiraiya while Naruto got into bed.

"Well I've got to go sign some books. Take care of yourselves." The old ninja said to Temari, Gaara and Tayuya as they exited the hotel. The red haired duo decided to walk around town but Temari stopped Jiraiya before he left.

"Um…Jiraiya-sama, um…thank you…for helping Naruto-kun." Temari said looking away and blushing like Hinata.

"No problem Temari. It's the least I could do after what I did." Jiraiya said lowering his head slightly.

"What do you mean?" Temari asked in confusion.

"Back when he became my student, I helped him unlock Kyubbi's chakra to use the summoning technique by putting him in a deathlike situation. Naruto may have unlocked the door himself, but I forced him to it. I can't help but wonder what my old student would say to me if he knows what I did to his legacy." He answered depressingly. The sandy blonde just remained silent. Having a mixture of anger and sadness for the sannin, she didn't know what to say. "You should consider yourself lucky. You can't find guys like him easily these days." Jiraiya said suddenly changing the subject.

"Yes. He means more to me than words can describe. I probably wouldn't be alive now if he wasn't in my life." Temari said with a smile.

"Do me a favor and take care of the kid. He's had a very lonely life." Jiraiya said.

"We both have Jiraiya-sama. Don't worry, I'll always be his kirei yuri." The sandy blonde retorted blushing hard.

"Oh yes, one more thing." The hermit took out a copy of Icha Icha Tactics Advance, signed it and tossed to the young woman. "It's a gift for Naruto. Give it to him will you. I'm sure it'll come in handy for the both of you." He finished with a perverse smile on his face. A vein pulsed on Temari's forehead and she threw the book at his face following up with a clubbing blow to the back of the sannin's head with her fan knocking him out and leaving a very large bump on his head.

"You damn pervert! If you didn't heal Naruto-kun, I'd send you to Konoha by air-mail!" The sandy blonde growled as she went back to the hotel leaving an unconscious Jiraiya sprawled on the ground. 'Besides, Naruto-kun doesn't need help in that department.' She thought with a huge blush as her mind returned to that night of love and passion. She returned to her room a few minutes later to check on her koishii who was lying in bed. "How are you feeling Naruto-kun?" The young woman asked as she sat next to him.

"Kind of tired." Naruto yawned.

"Well, your chakra is getting sucked out at the moment to make that new seal so you should feel tired. Once you've recuperated, we can continue our journey. Until then, I'll take care of everything." Temari said giving his hand a squeeze.

"I have a request." He said giving her a warm smile.

"Anything." The sandy blonde said returning the smile.

"Can I hold you for a while?" The spiky blonde said gently. She smiled happily at him and instantly laid down on top of him wrapping her arms around his waist while snuggling into his chest. He kissed her head and relaxed with his lover by his side as the blonde duo drifted off to sleep sometime later. However, while Naruto and Temari dream peacefully of finding their new home, two dark forces are drawing near them as we speak. Both with red eyes, both who despise each other, but both with one person on their minds.

"I'm coming for you Naruto!"

Custom Jutsu List

Name: Futon: Rasenshushou-Wind Release: Spiraling Palm

Type: Unknown

Users: Naruto Uzumaki

A new form of the wind element Rasengan created by Naruto that was inspired by Neji Hyuga's Hakke Kusho (Eight Trigrams Empty Palm) of the Juken (Gentle Fist) style. By gathering a small but concentrated form of wind chakra in his hand, he thrusts it at the opponent with an open palm strike (Like Hinata first attacked Neji during the chunin exam fight.) causing major damage. It uses very little chakra and has more power than the Hyuga technique.

Name: Za Han no Shinshoku-Black Seal of Erosion

Type: Kinjutsu, S-rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Orochimaru

This is one of the two legendary forbidden sealing jutsus that has been around since ancient times. This technique can erode or completely destroy any kind of seal. Even the Shiki Fujin (Dead Demon Consuming Seal) is not immune to this jutsu. However, the person must have a very large amount of chakra to even be able to use this technique or risk dying from it due to extreme chakra drainage. Orochimaru is the one few people in the world who is able to use this technique without dying, although he would require a long period of rest if he were to use it.

Name: Saikou Chouin no Jutsu: Reiki no Amatsu Jouju-Supreme Sealing Technique: Aura of Heavenly Completion

Type: Kinjutsu, S-rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5)

Users: Jiraiya

This is one of the two legendary forbidden sealing jutsus that has been around since ancient times. This technique has the power to drain a biju (Tailed demon) of its power and abilities and transfer it to its host/container (Naruto in this case) or the performer of the technique within a year's time thereby destroying the demon completely (In the performer's case, he seals the demon inside himself/herself.). Although it doesn't require as much chakra as Za Han no Shinshoku (Black Seal of Erosion), it's still a very draining jutsu and requires much preparation and many hand seals in order to even be able to use the technique. According to legend, it is said that this jutsu was given to a monk by Kami to destroy the demons of the world. But whether that story is true or not remains lost to the sands of time.

Authors note 2: Uh oh! The vacation is over for our heroes in the next chapter. Why? Because what's worse than having one Uchiha after you? Why two of course! And with Naruto not at his best right now, the next battle won't be a walk in the park. So stay tuned for chapter five which is titled "Am I my Brother's Killer?". And by the end of the chapter, Naruto and Temari's life will change forever. It's going to take me a longer time for me to bring it out so please be patient I beg of you! In the meantime make sure you Read, Enjoy, and Review as always my fellow readers, authors, loyal fans and good friends. And let me know how I did with the lemon (If you liked it, make sure you put a smiley face at the end :)!!). Finally, I'd like to give a shout out to Nickie-chan. I wish you luck with your NaruKin fic Dead in Konoha :)! Until next time my friends, much love as always :D! Later :)!!!
