'Regular Thinking'
I am thinking about shortening this harem now, its a little too much and I don't want the girls to ruin the writing of the story.
1 Tsunade
2 Tsume
3 Tayuya
4 Karui
Some one said not to have Tsunade because she is way to old, I was going to do something to lower her age enough in the story but there are a little too many girls anyway, so I'm just gonna have her as more of a mother figure.
Tsume is out too I think because she is a little old too and it would be pretty easy to take her out.
Tayuya is also out because I think the way she acts would be a little tough for me to write in the story and I haven't even reached that part of the story yet anyway.
Karui is gonna be out too, I don't think I could get her personality down to well.
Alright, I have been having people say that I'm too quick with the romance in this story. Some one said that Tsunami shouldn't have instantly fallen in love with Naruto but she isn't in love with him, not yet at least. I put that she blushed a little bit when she saw him and that he reminds her of Kaiza. I also added that she is thinking about him a little and that she might be a little old but she will not just be with Naruto after the wave mission. She will join the harem at a later time but she is not in love with him now only interested.
I Do Not Own Naruto
Walking back to the house Naruto is wondering, 'is she going to really talk to him? I hope that Zabuza and her will come to the leaf with us? What do you think Kyoshi?'
'I think it would be nice to have her and Zabuza in the village, you could get a good sparing partner from Zabuza. Plus that girl really seems to like you.' She finishes with a teasing tone towards him.
'You think so? I mean she seems really nice, and she is definitely pretty. Also she is loyal to her precious people so I know I could count on her.' He thinks to her making her smile.
'Yea, she would make a perfect wife someday. That's for sure.' Kyoshi thinks with a smile.
'Wh-what are you talking about? I'm just hoping she can convince Zabuza to come with us back to the village. I don't think she's gonna come if he doesn't, so only time will tell.'
'I know you like her Naru-kun, why not have her as a future mate?' Kyoshi teases.
'Ero-Kitsune' is all Naruto says back while chuckling at her giggles.
Walking back into the house Naruto looks to see all the people at the table eating breakfast. They all glanced at him worriedly, the guys in the room just nodded their heads at Naruto. Naruto understood them enough to know that they didn't have to say anything at all.
Anko came over and hugged him, "hey, are you alright?" She whispers into his ear so only he can hear her.
"I'm fine Anko-chan, there's nothing to worry about." Naruto says to her calmly with a smile on his face, which seems to cheer her up a bit.
"Naruto, why don't you sit down for some breakfast, and by the way, I'm Inari's mother not his older sister." Tsunami says with a little blush on her face remembering how the blond boy thinks shes pretty and young.
"What? There's no way could you be his mom, you look so young and beautiful." Naruto replies with honest confusion, but just puts on his sheepish smile and rubs the back of his head.
Tsunami just blushes more and misses the heated gaze from Anko, "We- Well thank you Naruto-kun, I-I appreciate your complements, me being a single mother other men just look at my body." 'Plus the fact that they don't want the responsibility of my son Inari doesn't help either.' She adds on with a frown, but is truly grateful to be called beautiful and not just hot or sexy.
"Well, men can get pretty perverted, I really hate it when guys just look at women with that hungry look in their eyes, its disgusting. Even married men or men with girlfriends look at other women like that." Naruto ends with an annoyed tone, making her smile that he is not a pervert or anything.
Then, from upstairs Inari comes down staring at the floor the entire time, not wanting to look up at the other people in the room. He really feels bad about what he had said and the disappointed stares he was getting didn't make him feel any better.
"Hey, Inari. How are you today?" Comes a voice that sounds really familiar to him. It is calm and warming to him, he slowly looks up and meets the gaze of Naruto. He instantly begins to move toward him with a bit of water coming to his young, dark eyes.
"I'm really sorry about what I said to you yesterday Naruto, I had no idea what I was talking about. I guess when tou-san was killed in front of me I just gave up all hope, thinking that heroes didn't exist anymore." He said choking back sobs, but he was startled when a hand patted him on the head.
"Hey, don't cry now Inari. Kaiza was a good man and he died to protect the village and people he loved. People can be very cruel just for money, artifacts, or even women. They just do whatever it takes to have these things. But people like your dad come around and decide that those people are wrong and they fight to defeat people who are like that. Without people like him, then the world would be a dark and terrible place." Naruto says to the boy while still holding his head, and making everyone smile at his explanation.
"We are here to help you, no matter what. Not everyone here has had as bad a life as you had, but me and Anko-sensei have had worse lives than you could ever imagine. Just remember this, there is always someone who has a worse life than you, so instead of pouting and brooding all the time, you have to move on. Your mom and grandpa like to see your smile and don't like to see you sad. Kaiza's death was just as hard for them as it was for you." Naruto finishes calmly while the others just stared at him with the same smiles on their faces happy to have Naruto back.
'He would make a perfect role model for Inari, maybe even a perfect father figure, but I'm not sure what to do...' Tsunami thought while holding back some tears and her small blush at the thoughts of Naruto being with her.
What they didn't know is that Anko had similar thoughts of Naruto. 'Wow, he's great with kids, I can't wait until we have some of our own running around being all hyper and messing with people.'
Inari just looks up into Naruto's kind and caring eyes and doesn't feel so bad anymore seeing for himself how forgiving the blond can be, "thank you Naruto-nii-chan!" He shouts with a big smile on his face making all the others in the room smile at his change of heart.
"Of course Inari, now lets get to eating and then we can get to work on finishing up our training, you guys are gonna have to catch up to me though, I got the kunai to balance for about 30 minutes when I was out yesterday." Naruto says with a smirk at his two firends making them gape.
"What? 30 minutes, that's not fair we weren't training when you were out yesterday!" Kiba yells with a mock angry tone.
"Not my problem," Naruto laughs at them. "Maybe you should start to hurry up then because you two are gonna be buying me all I can eat." He finishes making the other boys pale slightly.
"That's a little low taicho, making everyone worry and not want to do anything while your out training." Sai says to Naruto but gets up anyway. "Come on Kiba, let's just get to work."
"I'm just kidding, you guys won't have to pay for me. Its a little unfair and I will pay for lunch." He says as they all leave together making the two guys sigh in relief.
Back with Haku we see her walking slowly with her basket of herbs into a small and beat up shack in the woods. 'I hope Zabuza will read this scroll and we won't have to fight them anymore. I would hate to have to kill Naruto-kun... There I go and put the kun suffix on his name again, but I just met him...' She thinks to herself.
She opens the door and sees Zabuza still in bed as he turns his head and looks at her. "Well you definitely took your sweet time out there, anything happen?" He asks curiously.
Haku looks a little hesitant in telling him what happened making him more curious, after a short silence she begins, "I went to get you some herbs like I said and I found the blond haired ninja sleeping near the spot where I was going to pick them. He had offered to help me and I accepted while we talked for a while. After that, I was on my way to leave and he told me to give you a message." Haku finishes making Zabuza widen his eyes in surprise a little.
"Wait, so he knew who you were and that you work with me but he didn't do anything about it, and how did he know that?" Zabuza asks the girl who he sees as his own daughter.
"No, he didn't attack me at all, he only wanted to talk and he wanted me to give this too you." She says while handing the scroll to him while he reaches weakly for it. "The way he knew who I was, was because he was flying around with his bloodline scouting out the area for his team and he saw us talking and he also saw me put on my hunter-nin mask."
"Huh, well I still don't see what he could want from us, or why he didn't attack you." 'Not that I'm complaining.' He thinks to himself as he opens the scroll slowly while getting irritated that he is so weak now. He opens it and begins to read out loud.
"Dear No Brows," He reads as he develops a tick mark on his head making Haku giggle happily.
"I know what your mission is and I just wanted to see if I could get you to stop. If you agree to have you and Haku come to the leaf village I can promise you that the Hokage will allow you to join our village. You will not have to be on the run anymore from Kiri hunter nin.
I know that you didn't like how Yagura, your Mizukage was segregating the bloodline clans form the normal ninjas. We don't have anything like that in the leaf, all of our bloodline clans are loved in our village and the are treated with respect. I know you don't want to run forever, so I would like for you and Haku to come to the leaf village to start over.
You would not regret it if you did, you can meet me when your ready somewhere in Wave wherever you want. If you refuse to accept, then we will have to fight. I can't allow you to kill Tazuna and sink Wave more into poverty and starvation. Besides, knowing how people like Gato work, he is probably going to betray you eventually.
"Meet me on the bridge when you've recovered with your answer."
"Naruto Uzumaki."
The two sat in silence for a while just in shock at what they had just read. "What do you think Zabuza-sama?" Haku questions after a while. 'I hope he agrees, I don't want to fight Naruto-kun.'
"I don't think we can trust that blond gaki at all. There is no way he can guarantee that we will be welcome in the leaf village." He says to her.
"But I think he's telling the truth, he never lied to me when we were talking together and he seems like a really nice person, I think we should go with him to the leaf." She says back with a pleading tone of voice.
"Why would you trust some complete stranger like this, he could just be pretending to be like that to lure you into a trap." Zabuza replies.
"No. I don't think he would do that at all. He's way to nice and playful to do such a thing, I really think we can trust him. I don't want to fight him anymore Zabuza-sama, please can we go?" She questions practically begging him.
"Let me be alone for a while, and then I'll think more about following your little boyfriend to Konoha." He says with a smirk and starts to crack up at her blushing face.
"He's not my boyfriend, Zabuza-sama!" She replies quickly and a little angrily but gasps at what she had done. She's never yelled at him for anything before but she felt embarrassed at being call Naruto's girlfriend.
"Alright, alright, no need to lie directly to my face, I can already tell your interested in the kid just by the way you talk about him." He shoots back at her and continues to laugh as she storms out of the room.
'What should I do now? Its a little annoying having to run for so long from Kiri hunter-nin, and Haku seems to really want to go to the leaf...' Zabuza thinks to himself.
It has been just about a couple weeks since Naruto and the team has defeated Zabuza while on their way to Wave. Since then all the boys have completed their training with kunai balancing and also the sparing on a tree for an hour. On top of that, Inari has been telling all the people of Wave how strong and cool his 'Nii-san' is. The word has been spreading rapidly of how the young blond ninja has defeated an elite jonin level ninja while protecting the bridge builder.
His two teammates are also being talked about as they were the ones to defeat one of the demon brothers in battle. They were not as popular with the people of Wave when compared to Naruto but the people of Wave were definitely feeling more safe in the village due to the whole team's presence.
Right now the team is heading towards the bridge for their last day of work on it. Naruto is up front with Kiba to his right and Sai to his left. Tazuna is behind Naruto with Anko following behind him. The people of Wave are all staring and whispering about the team while some of the younger girls are giggling and Waving shyly at Naruto while others are yelling about how awesome and cute he is.
"Look, that's the guy who beat the demon of the mist in battle, the cute blond one."
"Yea, I heard of the too. He must be so strong and graceful in battle, he's also so hot."
"I wonder if he has a girlfriend or something."
These were some of the more common whispers among the crowds of young teenage girls, and even some of the slightly older women too, making Naruto blush and scratch the back of his head making the women giggle even more.
These whispers were also irritating Anko a little bit as she doesn't like fan girls at all. 'Stupid useless fan girls staring at my man, not that he would date fan girls anyway but still.'
The team soon makes it to the bridge only to gasp as they see all the workers that were there all unconscious on the ground, except for one. "Tazuna, run. Demon... Monster." He manages to get out before he passes out as well.
"Uh, oh. Looks like Zabuza is back guys, get into defensive formation in front of Tazuna. I'll make some shadow clones to take all the workers to the clinic." Naruto says while doing just that and also the real one getting the team into formation with the others just following his orders.
Anko pulls out two kunai in reverse grip and jumps in front of all of them as a heavy mist starts to appear.
"Well, well, well. Look at who we have here. Little blondie playing captain for the little brats huh, while the sensei lets him believe he will actually make it somewhere in the world." Came a rough sounding voice from the mist as the team then sees the silhouettes of two people in the mist. One they all know for sure by the voice and the height is Zabuza Momochi.
Next to him is a much smaller figure wearing a mask that only Anko and Naruto recognize as the fake hunter-nin. 'I wonder what they chose to do.' Naruto thinks to himself. He had told his teammates and his sensei what he had planned and while they didn't exactly like the fact of having Zabuza come to their village Naruto assured them it would be fine.
They all also agreed that they would make better friends than enemies.
"Well, What is your decision then Zabuza?" Naruto asks after a while of tense silence.
"No deal, not yet at least." He says making the team of Konoha ninja frown and get their weapons out. "If you can beat us in a fight, right here and now, we will eventually come to your village, but I have some unfinished business to attend to. You have to beat us though for us to accept."
This makes Naruto smile and nod at them, "alright then, I can agree to those terms." Looking over at his teammates, "What do you guys think?"
"Lets take the deal, like you said earlier taicho, he would make a much better ally than enemy." Sai says with Kiba nodding his head with his answer.
"I agree with them Naruto, lets just beat the no eye brows freak and his little partner." Anko says making Zabuza get a tick on his forehead.
"Will people stop mentioning that, I already know I don't have very big eyebrows already." Zabuza yells at them, making everyone their just sweat drop.
"Alright, already. Lets just get started with the fighting. Sai, Kiba, you get Haku, while me and Anko get Zabuza. I'm looking forward to using only kenjutsu against him, so Anko can you just give me some support?" Naruto says to the team making Anko glare at him.
"Come on, I want to fight too you know. But I guess I can let you have your fun while backing you up." She says with a smirk while Zabuza has a grin on his face for being able to payback Naruto for beating him earlier.
"O, this is gonna be a good battle, I can't want to beat the crap out of you little blondie." Zabuza says trying to make Naruto angry at him.
"I agree, this is gonna be fun." Naruto says back while making three shadow clones to protect Tazuna.
Chapter end
Alright, I am pushing the bloodline wars in Kiri back in this story so that Naruto will go their and be the hero of the war and so not many clans will be killed off. I noticed that was the whole reason Zabuza had left Kiri in the first place so I had made him leave because Yagura is segregating the clans and making them outcasts of the villages instead of him killing them all off now.
I'm gonna try to have the next chapter up by tomorrow and I think I can have it up for you guys.
And again, like I said at the top, those four women I took out of the harem are most likely out for good, but I may re add them later I just think the harem is ridiculously big.
Caesar out
