Yo!

Chapter 9 is here!

Enjoy!


Konoha; Hokages office

Naruto, Obito and Itachi sat infront of Tsunades desk with her in her own chair behind it.

"So. What would you like your area to be? I know you are stronger than ANBU and i know that Naruto is even stronger than me so i would like to know if you would like to be ANBU, Elite jounin or jounin sensei." she said while the three were in deep thought. Naruto was the first to speak up.

"I wanna be a jounin sensei. It's about time for Konohamarus graduation isn't it?" he asked while scratching his head.

"Would you like to be the sensei of his team?" Tsunade asked.

"Yeah but i don't want anyone except Konohamaru, Moegi and Udon. I already know them and i know they're a great team" he said with a serious voice. "And they're great pranksters to." he added under his breathe.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing."

"Oooookay. Itachi, what about you?"

"I think i also want to become a jounin sensei. ANBU is to boring." Itachi said with a yawn.

"Yeah and he also want someone to be his own little slave!" Obito joked earning him a fist in the back of his head smacking him to the floor. "Oof! Alright... i'll shut up."

"No you don't! I wanna know what you want to be." Tsunade said while looking over her desk.

"Well since these two has chosen jounin sensei, i guess i'll take it too." he said while picking himself up.

"Great!" exclaimed Tsunade and stamped three papers and took out three Hitai-ate from her desk. "You are now official ninjas of Konoha! Make us proud!" she said while handing each of them a Hitai-ate. But Naruto didn't take it.

"It's okay, i got my own." he said and pushed Tsunades hand away.

"Yeah one with a scratch through." Tsunade said and Naruto shook his head.

"Nonono. That one i bought from a Konoha missing-nin. I still have the Hitai-ate i got from Iruka-sensei. I would never even scratch it, even with a needle. It's precious to me." he said and took out his real Hitai-ate from his robe.

"Okay. Then i have three things i want you three to do; One: Take these papers. Two: Take off those robes. And Three: Go downstairs and give the receptionist the papers and collect your jounin vests." Tsunade said and handed them the papers. "NOW!" she shouted and the three were gone in a flash. 'Ah, god i love to induce fear in people. It gets things done faster.' she thought as she sat down behind her desk and looked at the mountain of paperwork. 'This pile never gets any smaller does it?' she thought and lowered her head in agony.

And at that thought Naruto opened the door again. "Oy Baa-chan! I have a solution to your paperwork problem!" he exclaimed making Tsunades head shoot up.

"WHAT?! HOW?!" she yelled at him making him cover his ears.

"Oy! Lower the volume a little!" he said "The solution is..." he said making Tsunade lean forward. "Kage Bunshin." he said simply and left again leaving a gaping Tsunade behind.

'Yes of course! Everything they learn goes back to the original!' she thought and slapped her forehead while turning to look at a picture of the Yondaime.

"So that's how you did it huh?" she asked the picture who just stared at her.


The next day; Kurenais house

Naruto knocked on Kurenais door clad in his black ninja pants, black turtleneck sleeveless muscleshirt black sandals, his jouninvest and of course his Hiati-ate. The door opened to reveal Kurenai in her usual clothing. (Don't know what it's called. It looks like a kimono but i don't think it is.)

"Oh, good morning Naru-kun." she said and inspected him. "I see you're an official Konoha-nin now." she said and Naruto nodded.

"Yup. Me, Obito and Itachi are going to be senseis for the batch of genin graduating this year." Naruto said and pointed at himself with his thumb. "I'm going to be teaching the Konohamaru corps." he exclaimed with pride.

"Wait isn't that...?" Kurenai started and Naruto nodded.

"Yeah the thirds grandson." he said and looked around. "So. Are we gonna stand here all day or are you gonna invite me in?" he asked and Kurenai blushed in embaressment.

"Oh! I'm sorry! Please come in." she said and moved out of the way.

"So... I was thinking of taking you out to the Burning leaf again tomorrow if that's okay with you." he said as he sat down on the couch. "My treat of course."

"Okay. It's not like i got anything better to do." she said and sat down next to him. "And i can't think of anything better than spending the day with you." she said and leaned her head on his shoulder when he wrapped his arm around her.

"Wow. You're making me blush." said Naruto and turned away.

"Oh, i'm sorry. Am i making you feel uncomfortable?" Kurenai teased.

"Alittle." Naruto said and turned around and smiled. "But i think i can live with it." he said and kissed her. As they were making out Naruto started massage her thigh.

"Oh? Frisky are we?" Kurenai asked.

"Why? Don't you like it?" he asked while moving his hand further up her thigh.

"I didn't say that." Kurenai said "But i have a mission in about ten minutes."

"Aww." he pouted. "Damn obligation to the village..." he muttered.

"Aww come on now." she said giving him a quick peck on the lips. "We're going out tomorrow right?"

"Yeah... You're right." he said as he got up from the couch. "Well i guess i'd better get going. I think i'm going to find one of those courier-ninjas."

"Why?"

"I want to see how Pein is, why with the whole pregancy thing." Naruto said as he stood with his hand on the doorknob.

"Pregnancy?" Kurenai asked Naruto as she wrapped her arms around him.

"Yeah, Konan is pregnant." Naruto said as he kissed her.

"Oh?"

"Yup! So i gotta see if he's okay." Naruto said and opened the door.

"Oh well. I gotta go to the Hokages office and brief my team." Kurenai said and walked out. "But i'll see you tomorrow at around... say 7 pm?"

"Alright. And then i'll take you for a walk in the park." Naruto said with a grin and walked away. "See you tomorrow Kurenai-chan."

"Yeah. See ya."


Ame; three days later

Pein was sitting in his office sorting some papers when a guard came in.

"Pein-sama. There's a courier-ninja here to see you." he said with a bow.

"Very well, send him in."

"Hai." the guard said and walked out of the office. Two minutes later the courier came in.

"Are you Pein, Leader of Ame and soon to be father?" he said reading off aof a letter in his hand.

"Umm... yes." Pein said with a confused expression.

"I have a letter for you from one, Uzumaki Naruto." he said and handed Pein the letter. "I'm supposed to stay here and wait for your response."

"Wierd guy." Pein muttered under his breath and read the letter.

Hey daddy! A tick mark appeared on Peins forehead.

Thought i might write you a letter and see what you're doing. Is Konan giving you a hard time? Well don't get to upset with her. I've heard that pregnant women tend to have mood swings. HA!

Well anyway... How have you been dude? Gotten any more piercings? Maybe one in your tounge? Or your cheek? No? Okay.

Anyway. Write me back. If the courier-nin is any good he should wait for you to write a response.

Say hi to Konan for me.

Ja Ne!

Uzumaki Naruto.

P.S This message will self destruct in one second.

"Wait. Wha-" but Pein couldn't say anymore as the letter exploded i his face. 'Damn him!' he thought as he took out a piece of paper and began writing.

When he was done he gave the letter to the courier-nin.

"Take this back to him." he said simply and kicked the ninja out of his office.


Another three days later; Konoha

Naruto was sitting in his favorite dango stand eating his precious dango when the courier-ninja came and delivered the letter.

Hey Naruto.

Konan is not here right now so she can't say hello back, but i'm sure she would say hello.

Thank you for the explosive letter.

Now to answer your questions:

Yes Konan has been a real pain in the ass. Mood swings... I hate them.

I've been just fine. Hanzos followers have been wiped out and I'm gonna be a dad! Couldn't be better.

And yes i've gotten a new piercing. in the tounge.

Anyway, it was nice hearing from you. Except for the explosive paper.

Ja Ne.

Pein.

'Oh? He didn't like the exploding letter? I thought he would.' Naruto thought as he finished reading. Just as he finished that thought a jounin showed up.

"Naruto-san. Hokage-sama wants to see you in her office for making your teams official." he said.

"Alright, i'll be right there." Naruto said and plucked another dango from the skewer. Then he got up, payed for the food and shunshined to the Hokages office.


Hokages office

"Yo!" Naruto said as he appeared in Tsunades office where he saw Itachi, Obito, Sasuke, and Sakura (They've made jounin).

"Oh good, your here." Tsunade said. "I want you to pick your teams. Naruto has already picked his team, team 4, but he needs to be here to make it official." she said and the others nodded and picked their teams.

"I'll take team 3." said Itachi.

"I'll take team 5." said Obito eyeing the list of teams.

"I think i'll take number 2." said Sakura.

"Then i'll take team 1." said Sasuke, upset about just getting what's left.

"Good! Now you will meet your teams in the academy at 10 am tomorrow. And don't be late!"

"Relax Baa-chan. I'm not like Kakashi-sensei... well... At least i don't have his tardiness..." Naruto said scratching his head.

"Oh? So he hasn't passed on any other habits to you?" Tsunade asked with a raised eyebrow.

"If you're talking about this." Naruto said and held up his latest Icha Icha copy "Then it's not Kakashi-sensei who has rubbed off on me. Blame Itachi." he said and shunshined out of the office, leaving Itachi to face Tsunades wrath.

"Ah- Wait- I... shit." he said as he was smacked out of the Hokage tower by a killer left hook from the Godaime. Only to land in the womens side of the local onsen. Needless to say, Itachi ended up in the hospital to treat his crotch from suffering from a basic Crotch Chomper. 'Damn you Pranksters (Naruto and Obito.). Do you have to sell you're Chompers?' he thought as he limped out of the hospital.


There! All done! Short chapter i know... sorry.

Next time: Meeting the team and the bell test.

R&R!!! Or suffer the wrath of the Crotch Chomper!
