Disclaimer: I do NOT own Naruto!

/blinks/ GAH!! Where has the time gone?! /cries and dodges objects/ I'm sooooooo sorry! It's been forever! I feel horrible for making you all wait!

Well, I'm going to (hopefully) make it up to you guys with this chapter.

By the way, with the things that are turning out with the manga right now, my story is going to turn out slightly different (more so than just the regular time thing… you'll see later). I'm just warning you (slightly) for now.

Thank you, everyone, for the reviews!!

Now, onto the fic!

P.S. Please look at the A.N. at the end of the chapter, it's pretty important.

oOo

(Warning: Next part that is italicized can be skipped, if you want to.)

One more breathtaking kiss was given as the blond descended down his lover's body, leaving burning kisses in his wake. At his chest, the blond took the time to suck each nipple lovingly, smirking at the groan he received from the other's supple lips.

Continuing onward, he reached a dip on the pale stomach and couldn't resist dipping his tongue in. This time, a moan escaped those lips. He was just getting to his favorite part when he felt pale hands grab tightly onto his shoulders. Before he knew it, he was facing the ceiling. Blinking, he was surprised to find himself with his back on the bed. Wasn't he just…

"My turn."

The blond man didn't get the chance to process what the husky voice said as the same mouth covered the tip of his member. A suck and the blond thought he was going to cum. His back arched, though, trying to put more into that hot cavern.

"Mm…"

The other's tongue lapped around his arousal, while the blond vainly tried getting the man to put his mouth around it with his hands pushing the head down. The teasing was unbearable.

Finally, the pale man did as the blond pleaded and placed his mouth around the erection. He thrust his head up and down not long after. After awhile, the blond could feel himself building up, his moans becoming harder to stifle. His lover stopped his ministrations, however, and the blond looked down at him in confusion.

To answer, his boyfriend slid up his body until they came face to face, members aligned making them both grunt. The man on top of the blond hissed his neck, sucking every once in awhile, until he got to an ear.

"I want to hear you scream my name as you cum in my mouth."

The tan blond moaned at the words, not noticing the other sliding down his body into the position he was in before. Looking down, he found black eyes staring at him as a tongue licked at the slit, hand holding his member in place.

Fingers wove their way into dark strands of hair.

"Ah…" The tan teen's body arched up once more as his lover's hot mouth engulfed him once more. He was about to silence his moans again when a painfully hard suck made him stop along with two pale hands grabbing onto his wrists and holding them by his side on the bed.

The bobbing continued from there and the blond could feel the other man hollow his cheeks before sucking once more. A tongue was still swirling around his erection. Another moan slipped through his lips. His senses were going haywire as he could feel himself nearing completion.

"S…Sa…" He couldn't get the word out as his stomach muscles began to tighten. "N-no… I can't…"

Faintly, in the back of his mind, he could hear another voice calling out to him. He knew it wasn't his lover as the man was still occupied with his member. The blond tried calling back but he felt like he was suffocating.

There were a few more calls before he felt like he was drowning… drowning…

Naruto sprung up from the ground, having been rudely awakened from his nap. Taking out a kunai, Naruto searched high and low for the perpetrator. The only person he spotted was Jiraiya holding a bucket upside-down. Grumbling, the blond put his kunai away, silently promising that he'll get the older man one of these days.

Slapping his hand onto his face, Naruto swept away some of the remnants of water. After drying himself off, he glared at the older man.

"Why the hell did you pour water on me?!" He tried being calm while asking but it just didn't turn out that way. He was furious at Jiraiya for waking him up, not only because of the water, but because of the timing. Naruto didn't think anything the sennin would say could keep him from ripping his head off. He should know. Not only has he known him for a little less than seven months after re-meeting him, but he also knew the man from his time.

"You were too loud. It was annoying and I think you scared the animals away." Of course, his anger couldn't keep his blush away. "That; or you made them go into heat." Now, Naruto could feel himself getting even hotter. "But, don't worry. I think you just helped me out with my new series that I plan on writing." The pervert grinned as he turned away and went back to the fire where he was making breakfast.

Oh HELL no!!

Naruto wanted to faint. 'This is sooo not happening!' He excused himself from Jiraiya's presence, hoping to find a tree nearby to hit his head against.

This, actually, has been going on since his birthday last month. About once a week he'd get a wet dream involving his boyfriend and he could never find a way to stop it. He figured it started because of the lack of boyfriend he has now, but he wasn't too worried on how it started. Fortunately, no one has heard him whenever he did… well, until now, that is. Though, he can't say that his first day of this happening was any picnic.

Flashback

Panting, Naruto wiped some sweat off his forehead. He glanced around his room, making sure that all his things were things he came accustomed to within the past five and a half months.

Unmistakably, all his belongings (among other 'things') weren't from his dream. Looking down, he noticed a little tent formed under the covers.

"Great." He groaned as he got out of bed, stretching. The blond was going to enter his bathroom to take a cold shower when a knock cam from his front door. A curse flew from his lips as he was stuck between pretending that he wasn't home and answering the door as he felt that his buddy wasn't wavering anytime soon.

The knocks became more persistent that he figured that to hell with it and answered the door, keeping most of his body behind it.

It was Sakumo and Kakashi.

Naruto cursed some more in his head.

"Hey, guys!" Naruto grinned at the duo.

"Minawto!" The blond couldn't stop himself from giving the little boy on his father shoulders a kind smile. He could tell that Kakashi was really trying to say his name right, along with many other words.

"Hey, Minato." The father grinned back. "Sorry to barge in on you so early, but Kakashi has been bugging me all morning about you." Sakumo gave Naruto a look that screamed 'please, help me!' and Naruto felt caught.

"Uh… sure… just…" Naruto quickly glanced down at his boxer-clad self, bearing in mind that his erection flagged down a bit but was still prominent. "You can come in." He opened the door wider as he turned his back to them, waving them along as he walked. "Make sure you close the door behind you." He went into the living room, still not fully facing them. "Here. You guys can wait here while I go get ready." And with that, he dashed into his bathroom, picking up random clothes along the way.

A few minutes later, he came out, fully clothed with a sheepish grin on his face.

"So," The three-year-old ran up to Naruto and latched onto his leg. The blond ruffled the silver hair. "What would you like to do, 'Kashi?"

End Flashback

Although neither Hatake knew that that day was his actual birthday, he couldn't ask for a better birthday present as they all went to the park to play, eat ice cream, and be ransacked (mostly by Kakashi, along with his friend he introduced to Naruto earlier). It was one of those days he'd never forget.

After attempting, and failing, to do some bodily harm to himself, he slowly approached the small opening of the woods that the two stayed at the night before. Naruto got there a few minutes later to find that not only was the fire out, but there wasn't any food kept to the side for him. He could feel his right eye twitch in annoyance.

"Old man…" Naruto growled at the sennin whose smirk quickly disappeared.

"Oi! How many times do I have to tell you that I'm not old, brat!" Jiraiya got up from his perch on a rock to stalk towards Naruto, silently threatening the younger man by cracking his knuckles.

Naruto placed his hands over his heart in mock adoration. "Aww, but you'll always be old to me." The blond laughed before dashing away from the area at the look in those dark eyes.

Then, their spar began.

Dashing in the trees to conceal himself, which was kind of hard with all the leaves changing colors and falling because of the season, Naruto tried catching his breath from the first of many rallies between the two. The adrenaline pumped through his veins. It almost reminded him of home when he'd spar with Sasuke.

Yeah, that's right, home. 27 years ahead of this time. He wasn't sure what it was, but Naruto still felt as if he couldn't call this era 'home'. Even after helping the ninja here end the war only a little less then fifteen days ago, it didn't sit well for him as he still considered the time where all his friends and 'family' lived his home.

Naruto inwardly smiled. The reason he was even out here traveling with his new-but-not-so-new teacher was because they finally ended the war just about thirteen days ago, about six months after he arrived in this place.

Taking out a kunai, he crouched on the tree branch searching for his opponent's chakra signature. Suddenly, he leaped off the tree branch as three kunai embedded into the bark of the tree he was just on. While in midair, he threw his own kunai in the general direction they came from. He landed on another tree branch not too far away but didn't stay long, jumping to the ground behind another tree.

There was more silence. Quickly making some hand signs, he finished in time to be replaced and the older ninja to kick the log that replaced him. Just above, Naruto lunged down at the unsuspecting shinobi to punch him. A glint caught the corner of his eye forcing him to stop with his fist mere inches from the red streaked face (feet planted on the tree bark) and a shuriken held at his neck.

"C'mon, brat!" Naruto huffed in indignation as they stood in their stalemate, staring at each other. "That's no way to train if you're holding back." Jiraiya didn't stop there, though. "At least, pretend that I'm Orochimaru or something."

The blond glared and, with new found vigor, attacked his sensei once more. He was brought back to remembering the time he was unfortunate enough to meet Orochimaru again in June, a little over a month since he got there. He was fortunate enough that he wasn't attacked this time, though he can't say much for the slimy bastard who, no matter what the age, was still sick and twisted.

Flashback

Naruto thought he was going to cry. No really, he could feel the beginnings of waterworks at the corners of his eyes. He stood there for awhile, pouting, hoping it was all a cruel joke. But, then he remembered that he was in the past so there wasn't any possible way that it could've been built.

Sadly enough, Naruto was staring at an open space that would later have a building built over it that'll contain Naruto's favorite food.

Yeah, that's right, no ramen. And it's all because there was no Ichiraku.

The blond had to force himself away from the horrible sight before he scared the children (and a few adults) with his bawling. Now he had to search for a new restaurant to serve his rumbling stomach.

Sure enough, after a few minutes of searching, he found a nice place to eat. Entering through the door, an empty seat wasn't the only thing he found as he growled, staring across the room.

What the hell was Orochimaru doing here?

A flash of the things he did to all the people Naruto cared for came to mind. He clenched his fist. The third Hokage, Tsunade-baa-chan, Ero-sennin, Shizune-nee-chan, Sakura-chan, the Fuuma clan, and especially…

Sasuke.

Blue eyes narrowed as Naruto strode towards the booth the bastard was sitting in. As he got closer, he vaguely noticed two other people with him, but it didn't register in his mind.

"Hey! Minato! Look who's h-" Jiraiya didn't get to finish as he saw that the young blond wasn't paying attention to him. The fact that Naruto punched the snake sennin in the face might have helped his deduction.

As Naruto was going to continue with his attack by getting his clones out, he felt a hand grab onto his wrist. He glanced at the owner of the hand to find the one and only, Tsunade. Blinking out of his trance, Naruto dropped his hands to his side, still scowling at the pale man who was rubbing his smarting cheek. Naruto wasn't the only one scowling.

"What, may I ask, was that for?" Orochimaru asked in the pseudo-politeness that's mostly always attached to his voice, grating on Naruto's nerves even more.

They probably saw Naruto's fist clench again for Jiraiya and Tsunade both stood up abruptly and yelled at him at the same time.

"What's gotten into you?!"

"That's enough, Minato!"

Hearing them shout, Naruto reluctantly took deep breaths to calm down, if not a little bit. He was just beginning to loosen up when Tsunade continued. "Now, apologize for punching him for no reason."

And Naruto tensed up once more.

"There's no freakin' way am I apologizing to him!" The blond said the last word in disgust.

"And why the hell not?!" Tsunade stepped up to Naruto, glaring down at him.

The younger blond had the urge to rub the back of his neck. What should he say? He tried to ruin the lives of the people I hold dear to me. Especially you guys, the old man, and my best friend Sasuke! Yeah, right! Then he'd have to explain how he came from the future and that now he's stuck here until he knew how to go back…

In the end, he'd be stuck in some insane asylum.

Yeah, not gonna happen.

"He doesn't need to apologize, Tsunade." Looking at the speaking, Naruto couldn't stop himself from gaping at his 'savior'. Orochimaru turned to him and smirked. Naruto wasn't sure whether to trust it or not. It was one of those smirks that gave him the feeling that Orochimaru had something up his sleeves, and couldn't wait to use it on him, whatever 'it' was.

"B-but… he…"

"I'm sure that he just hit me because I looked like someone he didn't like, or something close to that." Naruto continued to gape at the snake lover but stopped when said man gave him a look that sent shivers down his spine.

"Uh… y-yeah… That's it…" Naruto grinned and this time followed his urge to rub the back of his neck. Jiraiya and Tsunade sat back down in the booth they were in before, Tsunade more grudgingly, if anything. Orochimaru, sitting in a booth by himself across from Tsunade and Jiraiya, patted the seat beside him, inviting Naruto.

Reluctantly, and hoping more than anything that this lunch would go by quick, Naruto sat beside his future enemy. As he sat down, he found that Orochimaru had one of those secretive smiles on his face.

He wasn't sure what that meant, all he knew was that he was afraid to know.

Conversation carried on and every once in awhile, Naruto would find himself drifting off in thought. Every time he did, though, he would get out of it when Orochimaru would pat him on the shoulder and ask him a question. Once, he sat staring at the younger version of his enemy, and he couldn't help himself from thinking that no matter what age that body-stealing bastard was, he always tries to up someone.

End Flashback

A chuckle slipped out stretched out lips. Lying sprawled out on the soft grass, Naruto gazed up at the colorful trees that were showing signs of winter yet to come. He didn't have much longer to take this short break, however. His sensei left the clearing to take care of some 'business' and said that when he came back, they'd be heading out to a nearby village.

In the meantime, Naruto thought of other prominent times he was near the snake bastard. One time, he remembered it being Tsunade's birthday party; he resorted to his old genin days of pulling pranks. This prank, although not involving spray paint, was just as good. Let's just say it took Orochimaru a few hours before he was able to get out of the bathroom.

And let's not get started on the prank he pulled on the snake's actual birthday. Oh, God. Naruto swears that it was way worse than the one he pulled at Tsunade's party. This time, he took some time to sneak into his house before the guests came to work on a few things in the bathroom. When everyone did get there, it took a lot of effort for them to keep themselves from laughing so hard at the discoloration of his skin… and the fact his hair looked a slight shade darker than Jiraiya's didn't help.

'Can't wait until the next big event.' Naruto smirked at the thought of something even bigger than the last two pranks. Unfortunately, he didn't get the chance to think about it as he heard twigs breaking under feet, notifying of someone's entrance. Sitting up, Jiraiya came into view.

"C'mon, brat, I found a village not too far from here." He motioned for Naruto to follow him to which Naruto did. "We can stay in a hotel there for a few days." The blond mentally cheered at the thought of a warm, cozy bed.

Getting closer to the village, Jiraiya continued talking.

"In the meantime, we can replenish our supplies and I can teach you a new technique that could help you in the long run. This is probably the perfect place for it, actually…" Jiraiya trailed off in thought. Naruto didn't bother bringing him back until they reached the entrance to the hidden village.

Wrapping an arm around the older man's shoulders, Naruto pointed ahead of them. "Is that the village?"

"Yeah, that's it." He picked up his pace. Naruto dropped his arm as he followed his teacher. "Let's hurry and get a hotel room."

"Alright. But first, I want to know what training I'll be going through." Naruto's fingers entangled together in with the hairs on the back of his head, lazily walking on towards one hotel that is right near the edge of the village.

"Oh, nothing big, just a little something to help with your chakra control. Then, we'll get on to bigger things." Jiraiya answered back. He stepped up to the reception desk after entering the hotel to ask for a room with two beds. A few minutes of waiting and he received two keys. Tossing one to Naruto, they headed up to their room.

The room wasn't anything special. There was a bathroom to the right as you walk in the door, a closet for clothes to the left, and two beds on one wall with a nightstand in between.

Placing their stuff down on their respective beds, they sized each other up. Glaring at one another until Jiraiya finally said that Naruto would be the one to get the food at the market. Naruto complained until he was threatened, and even then he still argued.

Strolling along the streets, hands stuffed in his pockets, Naruto searched for an applicable market. His search wasn't long as he found one not too long after exiting the hotel. He went in.

He grabbed some random food that they could possibly be making for the next few nights (ramen packets included). With everything he believed he needed, he headed over to the cash register only to get bumped along the way. That's when he noticed he was sitting on the ground with a body lying horizontally on his stomach.

"Sorry!" The person quickly got off of him, kneeling off to the side looking at him apologetically. Naruto sat up fully before looking over at the careless person - err - girl.

Looking her up and down Naruto had the feeling that she was about his age. She was wearing a blue, short sleeved dress-like outfit with slits on each side coming from her hips down with black, tight-fitting pants. Glancing at her face quickly before standing up, he became aware of her bright red hair. Naruto couldn't help thinking that it looked good on her.

Naruto stuck out his hand to help her up and she took the offered hand gratefully.

"It's fine. Just be careful next time, ne?" She blushed at his grin, nodding nervously.

He gathered all the things he dropped at the fall, and this time actually got to the cash register without a hassle. Though, he noticed that this time he had a follower.

"Is something the matter?" Naruto paid for the food, grabbed the bag of food, and headed out to the streets again. The girl continued to follow him after she paid for her things.

"Not at all." She dismissed his question with a wave of her hand. Naruto took a double take. Wasn't this girl shy back there? Her demeanor did a whole 180 on him! "Hey! Do you want to go spar with me?"

To say that Naruto was shocked by her question was an understatement. All the girls he knew of at his age usually didn't do the whole 'sparring' thing willingly. This girl coming and asking him if he wanted to spar made him wonder if he just made another mistake like he did with Haku when he was younger and this girl was actually a boy. But one glance at her chest answered that question.

"Uh… sorry… I can't right now, kind of busy. Maybe, some other time?" Naruto asked. She pouted but then brightened up at the prospect of seeing him again. The girl nodded.

"But first, before you go, what's your name? I need to know the name of my future sparring partner. My name's Uzumaki Kushina!" She placed a smirk on her face as if she was boasting.

Naruto chuckled. "It's nice to meet you Kushina-chan. My name's Namikaze Minato."

Kushina grinned really big. Then they said their goodbyes and diverged in different directions.

As Naruto was getting closer to the hotel he and Jiraiya were sharing a room in, he stopped in his tracks as realization dawned on him. The bag of food almost dropped out of his hands.

"D-d-did she say Uz-Uz-Uzumaki?!"

oOo

And so they meet for the first time! XD I hope you enjoyed this chapter, I sure did!

Now, time for my little Author's Note:

Okay, so, I have all the dates planned out for this and everything and there will be a few times where I'll update you on what has happened on what months (and/or days).

So far, Naruto came back in time late April (I prefer the 28), then there's when Naruto helps Tsunade (May 14), Naruto meets Orochimaru (June 3), Tsunade's birthday (August 2), Naruto's (secretive) birthday (October 10), Orochimaru's birthday (October 27), the War ending (November 6), and then Naruto's training beginning (November 19).

Now, the months are pretty important, but, you don't have to worry all that much about the actual dates as they are more for my benefit, if anything.

That's all for now! Thanks for reading and PLEASE review!
