"Hello Naruto, it been a while, but you're looking good," Gohan said smiling. His smile faltered under the look that she was giving him.
"What you leave for a year to Kami knows where? And you expect me to throw myself at you I don't think so," she shouted at him.
"Actually I saw Kami but he likes to be called Piccolo. He's the one that told me that I should come back here," Gohan said grinning sheepishly rubbing the back of his head. This had the opposite effect of what he was hoping for it just made her even angrier.
"So you didn't even want to come back someone had to tell you to come back," she said tears building in her eyes.
"No I didn't mean it like that," Gohan said quickly realizing to late his mistake as the door slammed in his face.
"Monkey boy you really screwed the pooch no this one didn't you," he heard someone laughing behind him.
"Umm…who are you?" Gohan asked causing Kiba to fall over. When he picked himself up he glared at Gohan.
"I'm Kiba you damn Monkey boy!" Kiba shouted.
"Oh sorry I guess I forgot who you were," Gohan said grinning. Gohan looked back at Naruto's apartment then he flew off sitting on top of the fourth Hokage's head the same place that he had found out that Naruto was a girl.
"Did you bring her," a soft voice asked from behind him.
"No not yet she is not very happy with me right now," Gohan said not turning around.
"Well I am sure she won't stay made long," a second voice said from behind him.
Back at Naruto's place Kiba knocked on Naruto's door, "go away."
"But Naruto Tsunade-Sama wants to talk to you," Kiba said. The door opened she was drying her eyes.
"I'm sorry I thought you were Gohan," she said trying to smile at him.
"How about we go out after you see what Tsunade-Sama wants," Kiba said smiling at her.
"I don't know," she said looking away from him.
"I will make you feel better by making you forget about monkey boy," Kiba said putting his arm around her shoulders.
"You shouldn't call him that it's not nice," she said in a soft voice. Kiba was utterly confused one second she hates his guts or so it seems and the next she is telling him to be nice. They walked to Tsunade's office without saying anything to each other. Kiba didn't know what to say to her whenever he tried he always put his foot in his mouth and Naruto was thinking about Gohan. When they finally made it the trip seemed to take forever for Kiba who the whole time was trying to think of something clever to say but to Naruto it passed in no time. Standing in the office were three Sand Shinobi Gaara, Temari, Kankuro. This was the first time that she had seen them since she had told everyone that she was not a boy. The three looked shocked but Gaara hide it better than the others.
"Naruto perfect timing, Gaara was just telling us that he has learned of a plot by the Akatsuki to capture you," Tsunade said watching her, "so we are going to assign you a protection detail."
"Monkey boys back I am sure he would be more than happy to do it," Kiba said joking with Naruto.
"Monkey Boy?" Tsunade asked confused.
"He is talking about Gohan," Naruto said in a whisper.
"Is he that really cute guy?" Temari asked thinking back. Naruto nodded causing both Gaara and Kiba to frown.
"He is strong but he is rather dangerous you do remember what he did to the village don't you?" Tsunade asked.
"Yes but to be fair he only came to save us from that monstrous guy," she pointed out in a small voice.
"Where is he now?" Tsunade asked.
"I don't know," she said in the same tone.
"After Naruto yelled at him he left," Kiba said smirking to himself secretly wishing that he would stay gone.
"Who did Naruto yell at?" Sakura asked as she walked in the open door of the office.
"Gohan," Gaara said his voice full of malice.
"He's back?" Sakura asked sounding excited, "where is he now?"
"How should I know?" Naruto said crossing her arms pouting. Gaara decided to change the subject.
"Naruto you can come to Suna and you will be under my protection," Gaara said. Everyone looked shocked at this.
"No that's okay I don't want to be a burden," she said smiling at him.
"Naruto whatever you do you are going to need a guard and I think it best that you don't stay alone," Tsunade said watch the young blond girl before her.
"She can stay with me," Sakura said quickly.
"Okay then and I will put a list of candidates for your guard since they will be around I will let you have the final say," Tsunade said. Naruto and Sakura went back to Naruto's place to gather some of her things. Upon arrival they noticed a dark haired boy standing there waiting. Naruto frowned slightly while Sakura beamed at him.
"Gohan!" she cried out hugging him.
"Hello Sakura," he said still looking at Naruto, "can we talk?"
"I don't want to talk to you…you…" she said looking for something to call him but no name bad enough came to mind.
"Please just let me explain," Gohan said.
"Why don't you just go back to where ever it is that you came from!" she shouted at him.
"Ok but know this if I do go back that will be it you will never see me again," Gohan said calmly.
"Good!" she shouted storming past him.
"I will give you a few days to think about it and if that is what you still want I will go," Gohan said not turning to face her. Dust was kicked up as he flew off speeding away.
"Naruto why did you tell him to leave, you could even listen to what he had to say?" Sakura said a little bit to her tone.
"Sakura can I just have sometime to myself?" she asked in a deadpan tone.
"Yeah I guess so," Sakura said walking out the door closing it behind her. She decided to find Gohan and see what was going on. She felt the ground shaking a flash of light. Sakura ran to see what was going on Gohan was hovering over the water surrounded by a golden light his hair was golden and her eyes had turned green, then the energy faded away and his hair was back to its normal black along with his eyes.
"Impressive," she heard a male's voice say, "So that is what a super Saiyan."
"Yeah but I can take it up a few leaves, but I have had an enemy that has forced me into my super Saiyan state since I have fought Broly," Gohan said to someone that she couldn't see.
"He was the reason you originally came here right?" a female voice asked him.
"Yes," Gohan said sitting on the ground.
"So how strong are you?" the first voice asked.
"I am the strongest fighter in the universe according to the Supreme Kai," Gohan said.
"You are so young that is truly impressive," the male said.
"Yeah but I still think that my father might be stronger than me…but he is dead so I might be," Gohan said rubbing the back of his head, "but the truth is I don't like fighting I try to avoid it if at all possible."
"Do you think you are stronger than the Kyuubi," the female asked in a curious tone.
"Well I don't know what it is," Gohan said.
"It is a demon that can flatten a mountain with a single swipe of its tail," the man said.
"I have fought monster capable of destroying entire plants," Gohan explained.
"Was this Broly guy one of them?" the woman asked.
"Yes, the first time I met him it took four super Saiyans and a Namek with power on par with a super Saiyan," Gohan said.
"And you defeated him by yourself?" the man said sounding more impressed. Sakura had no idea that Gohan was that strong. If he could defeat people that could destroy plants did that mean that he could destroy plants?
"So why didn't you bring Naruko here?" the woman asked.
"She does want to talk to me; I think it might be easier if you went to her yourselves. And besides I'm going back home in a few days," Gohan said laying down looking up at the sky. Who was he talking to and why did they want Naruto? Were they Akatsuki and if they where did that mean that Gohan was working with them, they knew about the Kyuubi. She had two choices right now she could confront them or run and tell someone. If she confronted them she would be outnumbered by two Akatsuki and then Gohan. If she told someone the problem was still Gohan he was strong enough to destroy everyone in the village. She ran back to the village to talk to Tsunade.
"Tsunade-Sama, I went to talk to Gohan and he was talking to two people that I don't know but they were talking about Naruto and they already knew that she was a girl," Sakura said panting.
"Maybe they were his friends from where ever he is from," Tsunade said flipping thru files.
"No I don't think so they were asking questions about him and…" she paused as Tsunade looked up.
"And What?"
"They know about the Kyuubi and he is stronger than it," Sakura said quickly.
"I know he is strong but I doubt that he is that strong," Tsunade said frowning.
"He said he has the power to destroy planets."
"We just need to keep him away from her," Tsunade said looking out the window, "and I will send a team to see who these strangers are that are with him."
Just then a Shinobi with a ponytail that made him look like a pineapple, "you wanted me?" he said in a bored tone.
"Yes I want you to bring Naruto here quickly it is time for her to pick her guard until this threat has been neutralized," Tsunade said. He didn't say anything he just walked back out the door. When he got there he knocked on the door but there was no answer. He knocked again but still no answer.
"Naruto!" he called but she didn't answer, "Naruto if you don't answer me I'm coming in," he said but there was still no answer. He turned the doorknob, it was open he pulled out a kunai ready to fight if need be. He stopped when he say Naruto she had a towel wrapped around her as she stepped out of the bathroom. His face turned bright red as he looked at her.
She didn't know what was wrong with him, "Shika what's wrong?" she asked looking a little worried.
"Nothing," he said turning to look way.
"Shika, are you sure," she said walking up to him placing her hand on his forehead.
"Just go put something on," he said quickly.
"I do I have a towel on," she said confused.
"Go put some clothes on," Shikamaru snapped.
"Fine," she said walking into her room pushing her door closed. He turned but he saw her door was not closed all the way and he quickly turned away again muttering "troublesome," under his breath.
"What's troublesome?" Naruto asked wearing her usual orange.
"How…" Shikamaru started.
"Something is always troublesome to you," she said smiling.
"You," he said simply.
"Why?" she asked pouting.
"Just drop it," he said.
"No," she said.
"Drop it."
"No," the whole way to Tsunade's office they argued. When they walked into her office they stopped there bickering under the gaze she gave them.
"Naruto you are going to pick your guard from this list of candidates you can choose any three so when you go on missions all three of them will be with you or during the day at least one of them will be with you while you are in the village. Sakura will be with you during the nights so she won't count in your choices," Tsunade said. She looked thru the list then looked up.
"Why isn't Ero-Sennin here?" she asked.
"Because he is doing other things to keep you safe," Tsunade answered.
"Well then," she said with a devilish smile turning to Shikamaru who broke out in a cold sweat, "since I am so troublesome you are my first choice you lazy bum. I also chose Kaka-Sensei and Neji."
"That's fine I am sending you five to the Suna for a while," Tsunade said.
"What why?" Naruto asked.
"Because I think that a threat might be here so I need to get you out of here," Tsunade said.
"Are you telling me to run while the rest of you fight?" Naruto shouted.
"Yes," Tsunade said.
"You know I can't do that!" she shouted back.
"Look Naruto just do it," Shikamaru said.
"Fine," she said leaving the room Sakura and Shikamaru both fallowed. They met up with Neji and Kakashi. After Shikamaru filled them in they started for Suna. Naruto felt bad about what she had said to Gohan would she get to see him before he left. They had been walking for a few hours when they saw two people standing before them one had grey hair that was slicked back he wore black cloak with red clouds and his headband around his neck. Then there was another who was wearing a black cloak with red clouds a hood with a black mask.
Shikamaru frowned at the sight of them, "I remember you," the grey haired Akatsuki member said smiling.
"Shika you know them?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah they are the ones that killed Asuma-Sensei, they calm to be immortal," Shikamaru said still frowning.
"Immortal, we will have to test that don't you agree Gohan," came a man's voice from behind them they all turned all surprised to see three people standing behind them.
