AN: Yo everyone! How's it going? Thanks for all the reviews, 100 is a lot more then I ever imagined I'd get. I'm trying to keep this story interesting for everyone but it's getting a little harder. However I'll continue to write until people tell me that the story is truly getting boring… anyways this chapter is going to be about the council, and some Gaara Hina citrus hehehe…, more NaruSaku. ON WITH THE STORY!

(End of last chapter)

Gaara and Hinata just smiled at each other. Gaara understood the bond that Naruto wanted to keep by staying here. 'Maybe I'll stay here as well' thought Gaara as he felt Hinata lean her head on his shoulder 'Maybe things will work out with Azura, and Vegito will understand… or then again, maybe not. We'll just have to find out Naruto".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In Gaara's apartment new boundaries were being broken quickly. He and Hinata were making out slowly and passionately. Hinata was the more dominant of the two so she was being more aggressive. This was due to the fact that Gaara was not used to intimate human relationships.

They were in Gaara's bedroom and Gaara was on his back. Hinata was on top of him as they continuously kissed and groaned in pleasure. Gaara and Hinata both had their shirts off, but Hinata still had he bra. Gaara sat up while Hinata was in his lap. She guided his hands to the back of her bra strap. Gaara had never taken a bra off before, but thankfully Hinata had known this and had gotten one that used Velcro strapping. As the bra came off Gaara fumbled with Hinata's breasts. He had so much caged emotions from not ever having been intimate with anyone. This caused him to shiver, as he was nervous. He didn't want to overdue it with Hinata.

Hinata however felt this sense of nervousness and she smiled. She the whispered into Gaara's ear, "its ok, I want it just as badly as you. Please don't hold back" with that she shoved her hands into Gaara's pants and started to jerk profoundly. Gaara moaned loudly. He grabbed Hinata, tore off her remaining clothes, and held her up against the wall. She wrapped her legs around his waist as he began to thrust hard. He increased his tempo and with that his breaths became shorter and more desperate. Hinata was moaning out loudly as she loved what Gaara was doing to her. Shit bit his lower lip as he kept pushing himself into her. Gaara mouthed the words "oh god" and Hinata kept repeating "yes, yes, yes". They kept going harder and harder and harder. Hinata then pushed Gaara onto the bad and she rode on top of him. She kept grinding herself into him until they climaxed.

After they were done and were lying beside each other on Gaara's bed. Hinata breathed out, "That couldn't have been your first time"

"I'm afraid it was" Gaara chuckled, "why was I that amazing?"

"Yes" Hinata breathed out before she could control what she was saying.

They both laughed as they lay together on the bed.

It had been a month and a half since Naruto had returned to Konoha. Tsunade had filed all of his history and all the necessary precautions had been taken care of in terms of deleting his file, yet maintaining the records of his interactions on the missions he had completed. Now all that was left was the meeting with the council, which Tsunade thought would go pretty smoothly.

So there they were, the 8 members of the council. There was Tsunade herself. There was Hiashi Hyuga (head of the Hyuga clan, and also Hinata's father). There was Danzo. There were also Unagi and Shinto, which were on the Sandaime's genin team when he was but a boy being taught by the Shodaime and Nidaime Hokages. There was Saido who represented the economic aspect of Konoha. There was Takumaji who dealt with foreign relations. Finally there was Horiadi who represented what the average citizens of Konoha wanted.

As all the members of the council took their seats Tsunade began. "I have all called you here regarding the topic of Naruto Uzumaki. I have sent you all reports informing you of his wish to leave Konoha. I all I need is a majority vote to allow him to go and that will be all" she paused "last time I checked, the notion of the Kyuubi leaving made you all happy, so I assume that this should be a quick ordeal"

There was an awkward silence. Then the old lady known as Unagi spoke "Hehehe, that boy that wanted so desperately to be Hokage finally decided to call it quits eh…" she paused and what she said next got a shocked expression from Tsunade. "It's a shame really… he's become so promising, he's decided to leave when the villagers have finally started to take a liking for him"

'Since when have any of the elders cared for Naruto at all!?' Thought Tsunade to herself.

Then came Shinto, "its true, I haven't seen fire like that in the eyes of Naruto since the days of his father the Yondaime. In fact the last time I saw eyes that burned with that desire to save the people of our village was the last time I saw Sarutobi-dono. There is no doubt that this boy would've made a fine Hokage" finished the old man with a small glint of sadness in his eyes.

Everyone was quiet.

Tsunade the spoke again, "I am now starting the vote on the destruction on Naruto's file. All those who agree put your hand up now"

Again to Tsunade's surprise only three people put their hands up. These three people were herself, Danzo, and Takumaji.

"Why is it that most of you refuse to let us remove this demon from our history?" spoke Danzo with great venom in his tone.

Unagi answered him with equal venom, "we have always listened to you because you were on par with the Sandaime, but you've been wrong about him all along. I will not let the boy leave because he can do great things for this nation"

After Unagi finished Shinto continued, "he is the best candidate to be the next Hokage, and if things continue the way they are, he will achieve this goal at an even younger age then his father".

After another moment of awkward silence Danzo began again, "and you Horiadi, you've always represented the people. The citizens of Konoha have hated the demon for years, what is it that holds you back?"

The 45-year-old man just sighed and began, "things have changed Danzo. In the short time that he's been back all of the citizens seem happier again. He's done things like getting cats out of trees for seniors and children. He saved the life of a baby who had wandered onto the street and had almost been run over by a carriage. Women run after him in packs. Though there have been some cases where these fan-girls have been attacked and almost assaulted by a pink-haired kunoichi, however those disputes were dealt with and nothing got too out of hand. The people care for Naruto now, its as though we've… missed the joy he brought to our village" finished Horiadi with a sincere smile.

Danzo once again began to argue, "Hyuga you always opposed the demon. What has the demon done to earn the favor of the most powerful clan in the Leaf?"

Hiashi sat there quietly then spoke words no one had ever heard from him before. "That boy is more powerful then anyone I have ever seen. He has been able to change fate since he was born. They day he was born, we were fated to die. The day he fought my nephew he was fated to lose. The day he retrieved the Uchiha he was fated to take his place below his "superior" teammate and rival. He has decided his own outcome. It is because of him that I have stopped putting seals on branch members of our clan, and it is because of him that I have removed the seals from those who had them… well because of him and that pink-haired kunoichi, she was the first to derive a solution to removing permanent seals. The boy… Naruto, he has united the Hyuga clan. He is an inspiration. I would have no other shinobi be our Hokage".

Tsunade was devastated by Hiashi's words. Tsunade then continued, "well its too bad that you all feel this way now, because I'm invoking my right as Hokage which give me 3 extra votes, and I vote for Naruto's file to be deleted. It is what he wants. He will be leaving in half a month anyways"

The council remained silent. They all knew they had no right to keep the boy after they'd mistreated him so terribly. They all hung their heads in shame, except for Danzo who was the epitome of human scum.

Unfortunately for Tsunade this was the second time Sakura had been behind the door leading into her office, and had overheard things that she was not supposed to hear.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto lay on his couch with his feet up. He had just finished training so he came home and decided to catch up on some reading. He had recently received the latest installment of Icha, Icha and he was enjoying it thoroughly. 'I can't believe I used to think this series was crap when I was younger. Ero-sennin was right, this is writing at its best' thought Naruto as he paid attention to the "artistic"expressions that were evident in this certain series.

That was when the door flew open and in came a crying and VERY ANGRY Sakura.

"NARUTO HOW COULD YOU!?" she screamed (referring to what she had heard at the council's meeting)

Poor Naruto thought she was talking about the novel he was reading. "S-SAKURA-CHAN, I-I SWEAR THIS… I… UH… ERO-SENNIN MADE ME REVIEW IT TO SEE IF IT WAS READY TO BE PUBLISHED!" Naruto lied horribly.

"I'm not talking about that you baka! YOU'RE GOIN TO LEAVE AGAIN!!" Sakura cried violently, "after you told me that you loved me… after we made love to each other and I put my heart out for you."

Naruto then jumped up and tried to console Sakura by hugging her but she wouldn't let him. Sakura then continued, "maybe I should've stayed with Sasuke…" she lied to herself.

It was Naruto's turn to cry now, "Please S-Sakura, its true. I was planning to leave before I knew that you loved me. That's because I'm part of Azura Sakura. They won't let me stay here. Please don't leave me Sakura, you… I need you so much. I may seem strong in your eyes and in the eyes of all these people, but without you Sakura I'm nothing. I'm weak and afraid… and I'm not ashamed to admit these things to you… because I love you so much. Please Sakura, I'll stay; I'll find a way to stay. I want to live my life with you."

"N-Naruto", Sakura cried softly as she hugged him and buried her face in his neck. She subsequently whispered to him, "s-silly baka, why didn't you just tell me earlier. Why didn't you just ask me to come along with you? I would gladly come with you to the ends of the earth Naruto."

"I'm not going to take you away from your home Sakura. You know that" Naruto breathed into her beautiful hair.

"Our home" Sakura finished, "its our home Naruto."

"Sakura-chan…" Naruto asked nervously.

"Hmm?" she replied as her eyes were closed and she nuzzled into Naruto's embrace with bliss.

"My apartment… it gets pretty lonely at times… uh… what I'm trying to… what I mean is… I want you… to" he just couldn't finish his question, but Sakura answered nonetheless.

"Of course I'd love to move in with you Naruto… we could have a lot more sex that way no?" chuckled Sakura as she proceeded to give Naruto a hickey on his neck. "I hope that's not the only reason you want me here though Naruto… because with me around I'm more then positive that your lifestyle will change drastically. I'm not the kind of wife that cooks, cleans, and behaves perfectly Naruto. I'm not a robot"

"That's why I love you Sakura. I'm more then willing to change some things about my life so that I can be with you everyday" he spoke easily as he gave into the feeling of Sakura's tongue on his neck.

Sakura continued to kiss him softly while pushing him down on his sofa. She then proceeded to sit on his lap while continuing her kisses. She stopped for a second and said, "I've set up a little test to measure your commitment after I found out about your decision to leave Konoha" whispered Sakura as she continued to tease him while she massaged his shoulders and chest as she sat on his lap

"Anything" replied Naruto hoarsely as he grabbed Sakura's firm butt and groped it slowly. She leaned into him and started kissing him again. Then it happened. Sakura's test and Naruto's (or any other teenage male's) worst nightmare.

The door opened and in came Mr. and Mrs. Haruno. Their faces were shocked. This was Sakura's way of getting it in the open AND testing Naruto's commitment to her. If they could overcome her parents, nothing would be able to stop their relationship. Sakura had told them to go to his place so that they could explain to Naruto that they were sorry (because Sakura didn't believe they were honest when her mother had explained to her that she no longer hated Naruto for being the vessel of the demon fox).

However, Mrs. Haruno now hated Naruto for the fact that he was violating their sweet little cherry blossom.

"GET OFF OF MY DAUGHTER YOU HORMOANE DRIVEN LUNATIC!" screamed the furious Mrs. Haruno.

Sakura's father didn't say anything. He just took a step back because he didn't want to get anywhere near the ticking time bomb that was his wife.

Sakura jumped off of Naruto and turned around to her mother, "WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY BOYFRIEND!?" she screamed trying to get her mother as aggravated as possible.

'Oh god, I'm toast' though Naruto as he was about to black out.

"I SAID HE IS A SEX CRAZED PSYCHO!" said Mrs. Haruno as she was slowly walking towards Naruto while rolling up her sleeves and getting ready to deliver a lethal blow to Naruto.

Then Mrs. Haruno felt something she'd dearly missed for the longest time. Sakura hugged her mom and cried soft tears of joy "thanks mom… you didn't even mention the Kyuubi, you were only worried about me having sex with Naruto. You've changed and I'm so glad, I've missed you so much"

Sakura and her mother had been on bad terms ever since Mrs. Haruno had shown her clear distaste for Naruto. Now that was over and the two were happy to be on good terms with each other. Then they heard Mr. Haruno burst out with anger.

"DID YOU SAY SEX!!!?" he screamed as though he was going to explode and take half of Konoha with him.

"Calm down honey" said Mrs. Haruno "Sakura's grown up… she's 18. And don't you remember the kind of things we did when we were young?" finished Mrs. Haruno, clearly not upset anymore. She was actually happy. Since Naruto had come back Sakura was more alive and pleasant to be around.

"I guess you're right" sighed Mr. Haruno giving up.

"Thanks mom, thanks dad. I'm going to be moving in with Naruto now, we've taken the next step" finished Sakura trying to get their parents to miss the last couple of words. Unfortunately she failed… miserably

"WHAAT!?" screamed Mr. and Mrs. Haruno together.

Naruto then found his consciousness, "please don't worry about her. I'll do everything I can to make her happy. I swear it on my life. She's the most precious person I have."

Mrs. Haruno then smiled, "we know Naruto, its ok we don't mind that Sakura moves in with you. Just please come visit us once in a while"

"And don't forget to use protection" finished Mr. Haruno

"DAD!" yelled Sakura.

Sakura's parents turned to leave. Naruto went and closed the door behind them. When he came back to the living room he saw the sexiest thing he'd ever seen in his life. There was Sakura looking through his Icha, Icha book.

She then looked up and smirked. She purred in the most seductive voice "Naruto-kuuuun, after tonight you'll never have to read one of these books again. It's the promise of a lifetime." And with that Naruto grabbed Sakura, carried her on his shoulder away into the bedroom. Meanwhile Sakura giggled as she was being hoisted by Naruto.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day Naruto went to Tsunade's office with Gaara. They approached the Hokage and Naruto spoke, "Tsunade, I've decided to stay. Gaara wants to stay as well. I hope it's not too late"

Tsunade just smiled as tears of happiness dripped down her eyes. She couldn't bring herself to destroy Naruto's file after the meeting with the council, and she was now glad she didn't.

"Of course you can stay Naruto," she whispered as she smiled.
