Wow, only one review for chap 8… I guess you really hated the format, so here's a short summary: Reilla and Naruto are fighting for a few hours, everybody is half analyzing the battle and bashing Kakashi verbally.

Chapter 9: Battle ends, relation starts

********************and back to a normal POV now*************

"Are you ready to end this?" Reilla asked her cousin, "I guess it's time, my wife will kill me if I won't be home in time to read the night story for Karen" he said "what do you say about an all or nothing charge?" she nodded "that sounds like a fitting ending, I'll take you back to your village after it" they started running towards each other, their fists met their targets faces perfectly, it was usually the best way to end a match of equal opponents when no one could keep or even get the upper hand, it was a stamina and ability test, he stood up "this isn't working.. we need to think about something else, we are just too damn good for this world" he said, they were still quite high on stamina, "you're right, I can't beat you.. but you can call the fox power and hit me strong enough" she responded, they got ready for another charge, "she's an Uzumaki as well.. she won't give up, but what can she gain if I call the Kyubi?" Naruto thought, they ran towards each other again, she knew he hadn't call the fox demon yet, so they collided again. "does she have plans to counter the demon's speed? Or maybe she had some jutsu that won't activate without the Kyubi's power?" it was a dangerous situation for Naruto, he could stimulate both of the conditions, but it would leave him open to her attack. "come on! Your wife is waiting for you! Your daughter needs her bed-time story" she shouted at him, "so he won't do it, I guess the fist fight will continue until he chooses to go all out" she thought silently to herself, they engaged in another taijutsu match, they were equally matched, his kick was blocked and her punch was dodged, he jumped back and said "here it goes! Clone body slam no jutsu!" Naruto created his shadow clones again, but this time they all lifted him up and threw him at her direction, "so fast! But if I dodge I could strike him from the back" she mentioned to herself, he was revolving in velocity, it was necessary in order to keep the speed he gained from being blasted by the clones, she managed to bent down just when he passed where her head was two seconds ago, she was too busy checking what passed above her that she didn't notice the second Naruto which crashed her to the ground "Lotus clone double throw strike no jutsu! A combined tai, nin and gen jutsu - success!" he said, she was lying on the ground the hit has taken her off guard, and the battle was now over, he picked her up, and went to pull Kakashi out of the mud. "it's night already, Hinata will be really mad at me.. I think it would have been better to let you win, at least then I would have an excuse…" he grinned to himself, "now, where did she put them?,,, Kakashi! Gai! where are you?" he shouted "right here" it was a familiar voice, it belonged to Rock Lee "what are you doing here?" Naruto asked, Lee was thick headed and explaining what happened would have taken hours… "more important, what are you planning to do with her?" Naruto shrugged, it was Hinata's voice, he looked desperately, trying to find another subject to discus "hey! Kakashi's stuck in the ground, we can see what he's hiding beneath the mask!" he hoped it would be enough, "we tried it, he has some kind of a seal that replicates masks, no use" Gai said, it wasn't enough, Hinata gave him one of her cold looks, "well, we made a bet, the loser buys the winner a moth of ramen" Hinata gapped, "a month of ramen? Do you know what the price of that is? We have a baby to feed and you refuse to take half of the missions' offered to you! How did you plan to pay for that!?!" her voice climbed to a new peak "that's exactly why I fought her! It was only for the ramen, you don't actually think I enjoyed it!" Naruto tried to say, but the smile on his face was an undeniable proof that he had the time of his life "Liar…" she said, but she was smiling, she couldn't stay mad at him for long."He's safe" Konhamaru whispered to Shikamaru "guess so, lucky bastard, I think the show is over for us, lets go back, come on, Lee" he responded, "why, what's going on?' Lee asked, he was thicker than Naruto sometimes "just dig Gai and Kakashi out, weren't you planning to ask Sakura out tonight?"  Shikamaru mentioned, it was a fail-proof way to get Lee's attention.

Back at the leaf, Naruto and Hinata were stuffing there selves with ramen, well, Naruto was stuffing himself, Hinata was eating gracefully, and Reilla was counting the enormous quantity of ramen Naruto was eating and trying to calculate the price, in truth, she also wanted to eat that quantity of ramen, but the reikage's words were very strict "if you're a female, act like one! Stop burping all that food inside and listen to me dammit!' "well not strict, the right word would be… hey that's his 7th bowl! How can he eat that much, what kind of bottomless hole is he?" she thought to herself. When Hinata finally reminded her husband about manners they left, instead of heading back to their place at the Hyuga's compuand they went to the hokage office, Naruto wanted to see if his mother has left him a scroll as well, not that he would follow it, no way, just to see what that woman had planned for him. They snack in, both Naruto and Hinata weren't in the mood to explain why Reilla was still alive, the council will find out about it and question Kakashi, that would end the story. The room was filled with scrolls "it's no use, we don't even know if it's still here, they could have thrown it away years ago" Hinata said.. "not likely" a voice came from behind her "they still have some plans for a meeting 47 years ago, they planned to murder the guest…" both Naruto and Hinata looked at her "you're still a cloud, so we'll appreciate it if you wouldn't go into the leaf's scrolls" he said without a hint of a smile, he was serious about it "o.k., I got your point, no more peeking at the village books…" she responded, she knew it wasn't meant to hurt her feelings, even though both of them broke into the record vault, and by the expertise they showed she could tell they have done it many times before, but they still wanted to protect the leaf's secrets, there was nothing wrong with that. The sun was already setting when they found the scroll, Naruto read it for a minute and passed it to Hinata, and she passed it to Reilla. The scroll was quite short, she read it in an instant "and I thought my scroll was cold… nothing here but an order to fight and conquer this and the other countries, his mom doesn't seems like a nice person to talk to, he thinks that way as well" she said to herself "what are you gonna do with this information?" she asked him, his face were enough for her to tell he didn't even flinch when he read it, his mom meant nothing to him.

After two weeks Reilla was on her way to leave the leaf back to the hidden cloud, Hinata and a blonde chunin escorted her to the ninja administration office, Hinata requested a mission at the lighting country, they made a strong bond the past two weeks, the other shinobi, Ino, was there because the mission was meant for two. "do you think Naruto will be o.k. with Karen?" Ino asked Hinata, "the Uzumakis aren't the best parents, you know" Reilla added, "Don't worry, Naruto knows that if he messes up he'll have to answer to me, so he won't let her pet a kitten without checking the cat's lineage first" Hinata said confidently, Naruto would do anything to avoid getting the cold stare from his wife, "childhood issues" Reilla guessed, she would travel with Ino and Hinata on foot until they reach their destination.

****************a ramen restaurant, at the fire country borderline**************

"thank you for eating here" Tskubakaru said to the leaving clients, even though he was shinobi, he still worked at the ramen restaurant, the high price on his head didn't matter to him, missing nin hunters weren't after him anymore, they all assumed he died with the rest of the organization, not that he was a vital part, not at all. Tskubakaru become a chunin at age 7, a jounin at 9 and joined them at 11, he was one year older than the demon boy. In spite of his fast advancement as a shinobi, he didn't want to be a ninja. Didn't want wasn't the best description, but the fact was that he went to the ninja academy because of his parents, entered the chunin exam's for his teammates, became a jounin because his sensi wanted to be remembered as the master of the youngest jounin at the stone. Tskubakaru used to think that this was just how things were done, so when he was offered to join the Akatsuki, he assumed that was just another step in the path of his life, he didn't realize what it meant, the Akatsuki members hoped that he'll find his own ambitions once he leaves the rock, but at the end, he was just a henchman for them, after what happened with the nine tails boy he escaped alone, he wandered into the ramen restaurant and got himself a part-time job there. The job didn't pay much, and he had to deal with all the society without acting like a shinobi, but it gave him time to think and organize his thoughts.

After three years his boss died and the business was inherited to his son, which had no interest in ramen management so Tskubakaru was assigned as the new manger. Two months ago he saw a young woman walk inside, she looked exactly like the nine tails kid, and she looked about as strong as that boy, he knew that she could tell by his face that he recognized her, so he asked Tollas, the new waiter which he hired out of the dump, to take her order, Tollas also seemed to recognize her, but it was more a "where did I meet you before?" that girl looked at them like they were little kids, peeking into the women bath-house. Tskubakaru was curios to know how Tollas recognized the girl, Tollas could have been on a long mission from his village, but Tskubakaru didn't believe that was the case. Even though Tskubakaru's tai, nin and gen jutsu were outstanding, his real skill laid in his observation abilities, it had no connection to an advanced blood line like Itachi's sharingan, Tskubakaru's blood line was suited to other things, the skill laid in he's awareness to details and memory, nothing else, it made him a great outside advisor, but anti social as well, after being two hours with somebody, he could already tell what the person was thinking about and what is he planning to do. Tollas also didn't know why did the girl seem familiar to him, so in the end, they both acted like fools around her, not the shinobiest thing to do, but it didn't matter much, she had a look of somebody planning to go on a long trip, not just a mission, he didn't think she'll come back anywhere soon, he was wrong, of course.

3 months later, she came back, and brought two friends, female shinobies from the leaf village, he recognized the girls, one was the heir to the Hyuga clan, he could tell by her figure she already gave birth, the other used to be a minor shinobi, talented but nowhere close to the elites, she also gave birth once, but she didn't have the same look as the Hyuga girl, whoever she ended up with, it was probably just a set up by her family. He was busy that moment with another customer, and he knew his eyes will tell he knows them, so he called Tollas to take their order. The dark haired man came to the table, "what can I get you?" he asked, the two leafs looked with unbelieving eyes, "do I have something on my face?" he asked and looked at the mirror, all he saw was his normal face, ever serious eyes and a cool stare, nothing out of the ordinary.

 "come' on… I know he looks good but you both are married, don't act like 12 years old" Reilla said, even though her tune was humorous she could tell their shock came from something else, she observed the guys movements, he was light and powerful, he always stepped quietly and never lost balance, his feet didn't leave any signs in the dusty areas of the floor, by he's reflexes – he was a shinobi. The strange thing were his voluntary moves, not a hint of stealthily, it was stupid to walk as a shinobi when spying, the goal was to pass as a normal person, or at least a lesser than your strength shinobi, going only half way with the act was suicidal.

 She looked at Hinata and Ino, they didn't notice his movements yet, they just looked at his face, a tear shined at Ino's left eye, "so, what's your name?" Reilla asked, she thought a little conversation will help get things back to order, or at least give her more information about what just happened. "my name is Tollas, and if you girls don't mind, I have quite a lot of work, if you can't decide what you want then I have this Manu, I can recommend you about the misso meat ball ramen plate" he said, not a trace of emotion to Hinata or Ino, but he did seem to look curious about Reilla. "stop making the customers cry! Whatever they don't order, it comes down from your paycheck!" Tskubakaru shouted to him, he was standing in the kitchen, "how can that guy know Ino's crying? The Tollas guy is in the way, she's completely silent and…" the smell of the ramen boiling has met her nose, as well as a salty mixture of water and other body by-products "smell… he can smell the tear and recognize it from that distance" her eyes turned to the chef, not a hint about him being a shinobi, but his earlier comment gave him away, she threw some coins at the table, grabbed Ino and Hinata, "I'm sorry for all the trouble" she said while running, "what was that all about?" Tskubakaru asked, "no idea, do I smell bad or something?  The blonde lady smelled the air just before she left running" Tollas said.

 Tollas's stupid act of innocence was too much for Tskubakaru, they have been working together for almost a year, he didn't expect Tollas to tell him life his story or anything like it, but he would appreciate if Tollas would finally drop the act already

-----------------Chapter 9 - Battle ends, relation starts – End ----

well, here are two new people that I'm introducing to the story, both of their identifies will be raveled shortly.

I got a request from about the reviews, although the story is finished, it doesn't mean I won't change it anymore, so if you have something that's bothering you at the writing style, just say so, and I'll try to improve it for the future. The same goes with things that you liked, or things you want to know more about.

Anyway, here is the shout out! For the only reviewer of chapter 8, Eikou, who has also reviewed a few times before, and even if our conversation isn't only about Naruto, it's still interesting to read.

A. you're one of the few people I've heard about that studied Hebrew on their own accord for the fun of it… or did you do it because you had to come to Israel or something?

B. Narutaru isn't Naruto, Narutaru is a weird series that everybody loves to throw shit at and say it's like pokemon, the truth is that Narutaru is just very weird, and dark. Anyway, at episode three (I think) they show "Ein soth" and say it means in Hebrew "the source of all creation", the problem is that "Ein soth" is the Hebrew word for infinity or endless.

C. they changed Harusame into "sword of light"? wow, the editors at fox are really idiots, sword of light is a good name for light sabers or gourrys' (Slayers) blade, not Harusame. It's like with all the native Americans chiefs' names, all the cool ones like "diving eagle" or "hunting tiger" were taken long ago by their ancestors, and all they have left is names like "grass eating cow at the valley at midnight" and stuff like that but "spring rain" is a really nice name, it actually fits a samurai's sword more than something bombastic.
