Review please!

Twelfth chapter: Moving around

Shiro waked up to killing headache and in sound of someone doing something in the kitchen. Kitchen? Where was she? Her eyes shoot open to see small apartment that looked ready to be demolished. She also saw big, white haired man who was standing his back to her and singing something what sounded perverted love song.

"Who the fuck are you!?" She yelled so suddenly that man dropped his cup of coffee to ground.

"Oh! Your awake I see." Man turned around. He was old. That was all she could tell. And that he was beaten really badly. Several bruises coloured his face but he continued to grin. "Want something for breakfast?"

"I said, who the fuck are you?" She looked around. "And wheres Naruto?"

"Don't worry, don't worry." Man said and walked to her. "Want help? I was told you drank heavily. Comon, I wont hurt you. Unless you want me to." His eyebrows rose knowingly.

"P-p-p-PERVERT!!" She screamed with all her might.

--

"Don't worry about it." Misao smiled happily while giving some of her food supplies to Naruto. "I was so worried when I didn't hear of you for days. I thought something had happened."

"Sorry." Blond boy bowed. "I was training and forgot the time."

"But youre back now?" Black haired girl asked while hugging struggling fox. It started change colour. "Ive missed you too, Kibi-chan!" She hugged her more tightly.

"Help me…" His voice was almost unheard able.

"Yes. For now at least Thanks for the food supplies and-"

"PERVERT!!" Scream startled them both. Misao looked confused but Naruto sighed.

"I gotta go." He said and walked to his own place. Curious faces looked from doorways to see who had yelled.

Kibi struggled all his might to get away and jumped over to his friends shoulder.

Naruto opened the door to see that Shiro was trying her best to avoid overwhelming body of pervert. She was on her underwear but still covering her body with bedcovers best as possible.

"Naruto!" She smiled relief. "Get this thing of me! Who is he anyway? Where are we? What's that youre holding? Get away you sick bastard!"

"Ero-sennin! Down!" Blond boy shouted like to a dog.

"Hey! Don't call your own sensei like that!" Jiraya said back angrily but stepped down from bed. "I was only asking if she wanted a breakfast?"

"Main courses you?" Naruto narrowed his eyes. "Here." He threw what he had brought to him. "Its all that I could ask for."

"You really should go shopping." Older man said examining the food.

Shiro felt like being left out from conversation. "Naruto! Who the hell is this hentai? And what the hell is he doing here? Where are we anyway?"

Naruto sighed. Sometimes it just wasn't worth of trouble. "Im sorry." He walked to older man. "This is Jiraya of the Sannin. Master of seals and the toad sage. My master and teacher and my godfather." Mans chest blow out from pride. "Hes also author of famous book serious 'Icha Icha' and hopeless pervert." Jiraya felt a punch to his guts.

"Hey kiddo!" Jiraya said looking angry. "Don't put me down like that."

"Oh… sorry." Naruto cleared his thought. "He is a self claimed 'super pervert'. Happy?"

Jiraya fell down from hit.

"That's one of the legendary Sannin?" Shiro asked looking doubtful and started to wonder why they ever were called so great? First one was okay a Hokage of the village but under the surface, she was nothing but heavy drinking bitch who wanted to break something. Another was terrifying pervert. She wanted to ask what kind of person the third Sannin was. But decided to do that later.

"Hey kiddo, would you sometimes leave the rest out. It ruins my image." Mentally beaten old man said looking ready to cry.

"She needs to know whats she up against." Boy said looking at him. "Anyway, this is Shiro Toujiro-chan. Formerly know as Hanashiro Youjiro. She is targeted by assassins so I must protect her."

Jiraya stood up. "Youjiro? As in… Youjiro clan?" He looked very interested.

"I have disowned my family name!" Shiro said angrily. "Where are my clothes?"

"Here." Naruto pointed out a pile of clothes next to his bed.

"Who undressed me?" She looked like a devil for a moment. "Was it either of you?"

"NO!!" Both men yelled in panic. "It was my neighbour! Misao-san!"

"YES!!" Black girl stormed to room smiling happily. "At your service!"

Everyone looked her stunned.

"Misao-san, were you behind my door all this time?" Naruto asked scared.

"HAI!!" She yelled happily. "I was curious."

'I definitely gonna move now.' He smiled. "Is that so?"

Shiro dressed quickly and looked at her. "Thank you and get lost." She said very impolitely.

"Excuse me?" Black haired girl asked looking confused. Shiro grabbed her by her arm and threw her out. "And stay out!" She slammed door behind her. "Is this your place?" She asked looking around.

"Yep." Naruto nodded. "But Im moving soon." Naruto answered. Kibi looked at new found respect to this white haired girl. Even though she was a bit flat chested.

"I can imagine." She mumbled by herself.

Jiraya was cooking in kitchen.

"What happened to his face?" Shiro asked curiously looking at old man.

"He got beaten up by tens of women at hot springs." Naruto said.

"Did he tell you?" She asked.

"No. I guess. And usually Im right."

"I heard that!" Jiraya said angrily. "But anyway, breakfast is served." He removed his apron and walked to window. "Im going to visit Tsunade for a minute. I have something interesting to share with her."

"Okay." Blond boy nodded and walked to kitchen. Even if his master was a hopeless pervert, he was an excellent cook. When he had enough energy to cook that is.

Shiro sit down to chair next to him and looked when Naruto ate his breakfast. He looked so… normal. He didn't wear his robe, only his dark blue shirt and black ninja pants. When he was zipping his tea and crumbing down some bread he looked so... cute? She blushed. She didn't believe that she had that idea! She had only met this guy day before.

She looked at him again. But he seemed to understand him perfectly what anyone before could. He felt like so warm and happy and energetic that it radiated to herself…

"Are you okay?" Naruto asked looking at her. "Why are so red? Did you have fever?"

"No. Don't mind me… asshole!" Shiro started to eat her share.

Naruto looked at her confused. Girls were weird. That he had known all his life. But during these last few days he had realized that he had never actually understood that. Every ones moods changed faster than he could finish ramen. And to be honest, Shiro-chan was easily the weirdest of them all. Only she could say 'asshole' with such lovely voice… lovely? Did he just use word 'lovely'? He blushed and looked away. 'What hell is wrong with me?'

--

Tsunade was working. At least it seemed so. Actually it was only a shadow clone doing her job reading and writing all papers. But it was her shadow clone so it wouldn't harm anyone.

She was sitting on couch playing solitaire to kill some time.

"You can come out now." She said sighing. "I wont show you anything even if you wait until you die."

"You found me." White haired Sannin appeared behind her window and landed inside her office. "I was in town and decided to come and see how my special girl is doing?" He smiled widely.

"Forget it." She said ignoring him. "Im not sleeping with you, nor striping for you, nor let you interview me for your books."

Jiraya looked disappointed but didn't let it bother long. "Let's play cards then?"

"Okay." Her attitude changed completely. She grabbed all cards to her hands and started to mix them. "So why are you really here?" She didn't even ask of her bruises. She didn't need to.

"Like I said, I was in the neighbourhood." Old man said while looking at his cards.

"Fine. Don't tell me. But don't come crying to me when you get beaten again." Tsunade said looking annoyed.

"Yeah yeah." They played for a while and Jiraya gave his latest news on Orochimaru and Akatsuki. And some girl named 'Cherry' who had giant breasts. Bigger than Tsunades. This earned him another bruise.

"By the way-" Toad Sannin said while rubbing his cheek. "Did you sign Naruto to that white haired girl?"

"Yes. Of course. Who else?" Old blond said. "Why? Whats hes done now?"

"Nothing." He waved his hands. "Only getting to know his new bride."

Tsunade dropped her sake glass. "What!?"

"You didn't know?" He asked innocently. "They are encaged."

"NO!! Since when?" Tsunade rose to her feets and rushed to door. "Im going to kill him!"

"That's an idea… or you can wait and hear my explanation." Old man grinned.

--

"This looks nice." Shiro said trying to look convincing. They had left Narutos place for looking a new one. So far Narutos budget didn't look too good. "It has a roof." She continued to list all good things.

"But there's a hole in the wall." Naruto pointed out to the saleswoman. "What is it? Cheap air-conditioning?"

"How you knew?" Old saleswoman asked with a flavour of sarcasm in her voice. "But Im afraid that budget you have given to us isn't enough. We do have some other properties…"

"Great! Lets get going." Shiro grabbed him by the arm and started to walk. She had decided that Naruto wouldn't linger any second longer inside that building than it took to carry all his things away. That annoying neighbour had disturbed their breakfast three times by first bumping from door again (Shiro had locked it yet she was able to get trough it) secondly from window (she had leaned over from her window and knocked happily) and third time was through wall. She had yelled some questions over. And what was worst, Naruto didn't seem so bothered about all this. He had always smiled politely and answered all her questions. Shiro had no choose. She had to save Naruto from that man eating monster.

They had been walking around all morning seeing only worst apartments after another. When she asked about this, saleswoman said that his budget was only quarter of needed to find something decent. So now they were running around the worst places in village. One was near open sewer, another building was full of bums and another was full of black suited people who all wore shades and neat hairstyles. And most were in same condition than the last one.

"But Im satisfied of my old place. Why is it so necessary to move now?" He asked when Shiro dragged her through the streets.

"Didn't you say that you were looking a new place? Mind just use time effectively and look now." White haired girl said.

That made sense Naruto admitted but he didn't believe there was the full reason.

"Why is your budget so low? Aren't you ninjas supposed to make big bucks? That's what I understood."

Naruto looked around. "That's jonin and ANBU who make big bucks. Im only a genin. Im in lowest pay grade." And he looked over to her. "And B-rank missions don't pay that well."

"Im using half my savings for this!" She yelled angrily.

"And I half of my pay check goes feeding you!" Naruto said annoyed but suddenly felt fist on his jaw.

"Shut up!" She walked away angry leaving blond boy to ground.

"Whats her problem?" He asked looking at clouds.

"She's a she." Kibi answered yawing. "Even I, great Kyuubi No Kitsune don't understand them."

"She's stupid if you ask me." Naruto said sighing.

"But she has a point." Fox agreed looking after her. "Why are you using only so low budget? Namikaze inheritance was amazing and you aren't using one penny of it."

"Because Im Uzumaki. Not Namikaze." Naruto answered while lying on the ground. "Until I, Ero-sennin and Baa-chan all agree its safe to use that name, I will stay as Uzumaki and keep my inheritance in secret."

"But what about the money you made on our missions during training?" Kibi pointed out. "Theres should be plenty of left."

"Im not sure if I should use that money." Naruto looked one cloud. "Guess I could consider it…"

"Sir? Are you alright?" Saleswoman had walked to him and was looking down to him. "Do you need help?"

"Im fine, thanks."

"Theres few places we could see but if youre not satisfied with last ones I doubt you will of this." Saleswoman said looking her papers.

Naruto sighed. This would be a long day.

--

"Is this for real?" Tsunade asked while looking a peace of paper. "That whoring bitch…" She whispered.

"Now now, you are talking Kushinas best friend here." Jiraya said taking paper to his hands.

"Her friend by far you idiot!" Tsunade said angry. "When she was Minatos lover, she was her friend. When she got pregnant, she came her best friend. How the hell did he agreed on this anyway?" Old blond looked at finger print looking if it was a fake.

"Easy, Youjiro Yuuma said to Kushina that she hope they could be friends forever. So to make that friendship true, they came up with this. And to be honest, Kushina wasn't the brightest shinobi of the Konoha." White haired man answered. "And Minato… Kushina was very power willed woman if not smart. When she said something it was so and didn't change." He grinned. "It seems that Naruto got that from her mother."

"But still this…" Hokage asked looking disbelieved.

"Well that…" Jiraya whistled and walked away. "I don't know."

"Jiraya…" Tsunade asked vein bumping dangerously on her forehead. "What did you do?"

"I… kinda… drank Minato drunk – you know how he was with sake, even kinder garden kids could win him and kinda…" Toad Sannin couldn't say anymore.

"You practically forced your own godson to marry a Youjiro girl!?" Tsunade screamed with angry and punched Jiraya to stomach.

"Wait! Kushina threaten to take my godfathers rights if I didn't do it." He tried to defend himself. "And I thought this way I could at least linger it long as I can." He hold to paper. "But then a lot things happened and…"

"How did you get this?" Hokage asked sitting down.

"Night of Kyuubi. When both his parents were dead and Sarutobi-sensei had decided to hide it his past, I decided to gather these documents to hold." Jiraya explained while holding his stomach.

"What now then?" She asked.

Old man shrugged. "They had another copies, Youjiro family that is. They wanted to be sure that Namikaze name would be tied to theirs. But after so long time…"

"So everything is fine now?" Tsunade asked.

"I doubt it. They may have forgotten about it but Im sure they hold these documents still somewhere inside their house if for no other reason then for memento. And when Naruto finally takes his fathers name to use, they will be first to run to him holding these papers." Old toad Sannin stopped. "And theres more…"

"More?" Tsunade looked at him.

"I doubt Minato or Kushina would ever do anything to force their children to anything like marriage against their own will." White haired man said quietly. "For such reason as friendship of parents."

"So you believe theres an ulterior motive behind Kushinas decision?" Old blond asked. "What?"

Jiraya had to shrug. "I have no idea. Even she was token not that bright, Im sure she understood more than she gave out. And she had thought something good would happen from this marriage."

"What happened?" Shizune stormed to room.

"My old team mate has engaged Naruto to Youjiro families heiress before his birth." Tsunade told him casually.

"Aaah… okay then. By." Black haired woman walked away stunned.

"So? What to we do now?" Hokage asked. "I had secretly hoped Naruto would fell for some kunoichi to keep his family line strong as possible for the sake of the village. But with this thing…"

"I think its obvious." Jiraya gulped. "We have to get Naruto married before his father is revealed. And with our choosing girl of course."

Tsunade looked him for a while. "SHIZUNE!!" She yelled. Black haired with a pig returned back holding large bottle of sake and three glasses. Her face was frighteningly blank.

She poured in silence three drinks and everyone of them took a glass. "To Narutos wedding." They said quietly. They drank while thinking a perfect chose to Naruto. Shizune was hoping Sakura would come around and see boys good points. Girl had become her own little sister during these three years. And frankly she didn't know what was for own good. Tsunade was considering a Hinata Hyuuga if she could break things to her father. They were noblest family in Konoha and a child with Namikaze and Hyuuga abilities… chances would be limitless. Jiraya was wondering if he could take the boy to another training mission. There had been this beautiful kunoichi who had fallen for Naruto in seconds (who hadn't even noticed that of course). And that girls mother seemed actually like him. Perfect plan. He glared at other two who were glaring him and each other.

Then everyone smiled widely and said: "Lets work together for his happiness." Meaning it would be open war from now on. "Kanpai!"

--

Naruto sneezed again loudly.

"Bless you." Shiro said annoyed. She was frustrated when there hadn't been a single decent place to move. They were eating at Ichirakus place in silence. Naruto seemed exhausted for all the work she had put him through. She felt sorry for causing so much trouble… 'Wait a minute! Why I should care of him? Im not his girlfriend? I don't even like the guy! Im just helping him. He should be sorry for me! Asshole!'

"Whats the matter Son?" Old man asked. After first time, he had started to use term permanently. "What have you done to get so bad cold?"

"Nothing really…" Naruto whipped his nose. "We were looking for apartment this morning but nothing could be found. Nothing at least that my walled would allow.

"Is that so... Then that's bad." Ichirakus said looking at boy. They were his only customer now. "Youre still able to pay your tab aren't you?"

"Of course! Im not that broke." Naruto said a bit irritated. "I just cant find any decent place from Konoha. And I must move soon."

"Why?" Old cook asked but then loud smiling girl rushed from backroom.

"Helloo my dearest neighbour!" Misao smiled. Kibi stopped eating immediately and jumped to safety. To only person who had ever stopped that monster. To white haired girls arms. "Do you want another service?"

"Were fine, thanks." Shiro said coldly glaring her angrily. "Naruto, were leaving."

"Huh? Are you sure theres still plenty-" Blond boy tried to resist but she was faster. She grabbed her wallet and threw money to the Ichiraku.

"See you soon, Ichiraku-san." Girl bowed politely while carrying Kibi and dragging struggling Naruto. "You, stay away from Naruto! If I cared that is…" She said blushing deeply.

"Bitch." Misao whispered angry. Ayame looked the same. She had just come from backroom.

"I would give up if I were you." Ichiraku said while folding a newspaper open. "That boys fate was sealed before he as born."

"What you mean?" Ayame asked while holding Misao back. She wanted to give that white bitch a lesson.

"Those two…" Old cook gave a quick glance. "Reminded me so much of Narutos parents acting that it was almost frightening."

"You never told me that you knew Narutos parents?" Ayame said seeming a bit hurt.

"I knew his father to be accurate." Man answered. "He was my best customer before Naruto. And his mother… I remember more than once her dragging him away from here." He smiled. "That always made me laugh."

"Why didn't you ever talk about this?" His daughter asked while sitting on struggling black haired girl.

"Never came up really." Old man said while reading a newspaper. "And Sandaime-sama had asked not to bring it up so…"

"Why?" Both girls asked now. Mentioning old Hokage meant something interesting was happening.

"I cant say." Ichiraku answered. "And I would appreciate if you wouldn't talk about it. There is a death sentence to everyone who mentions it without Hokage-samas permission." Okay, this wasn't completely true but it made sure Misao would stay quiet. Both girls looked so pale it was almost ridiculous.

"When you first realized who Narutos father was?" Brunette girl asked with low voice.

"When I first saw him eating ramen in that chair." Old man answered and remembered that day.

"Im back! How was business?" 10 years younger Ichiraku entered the shop with his bring gins.

"Hi! Dad, come meet my new otouto." Ayames happy voice yelled from other side.

"Little brother? What an earth you mean?" Cook entered the shop and saw yellow haired boy gulping his food. He almost fainted of seeing a ghost. Minato was eating his ramen in younger form.

"Its rude to stare!" Naruto yelled unhappily while Ayame was smiling proudly.

'That was obviously Kushina talking.' He thought himself while looking at boy.

"Yes it is. Sorry about that." He smiled and looked at boy. He had heard of boy who had whisker marks on his cheeks was Jichuuriki that hold the Kyuubi No Kitsune. Most of the people had called boy a demon. He hadn't really cared about that. 'This explains a lot.' He thought himself. 'Hokage-sama told everyone that Kushina and her son died in childbirth. But that wasn't true, was it. Minato used his own son to save this village.' He walked over to cook.

"I cant have this." Old man looked suddenly angry.

Ayame looked at him. "What you mean? Not you too?" Shop had visited many people but most of them had turned away in instant when they saw who was eating inside.

"I cant have this." Ichirakus repeated and looked hardly to Naruto who answered to glare angrily. "I cant have your first ramen in this stand made by some amateur." He smiled suddenly. "You should have waited until I came and let me made you some real ramen." He smiled widely and laughed. Both Naruto and Ayame looked amazed. He wasn't expecting this. "So? You're my daughters new otouto? Then that makes you my son doesn't it"

"Hu?" Boy didn't understand at all.

"You can eat today for free." Old man explained. "And you will always be welcomed to my shop. No matter what others say."

Boy suddenly smiled widely. "Thanks ossan! Can I eat always for free?"

"Of course not! Are you trying to drive me out of business?" Cook had laughed together with her daughter and slightly smiling boy whose cheeks were shined when drops of tiers fell down.

'Minato, you were to me like younger brother. Now my daughter has taken your son as her younger brother. Hope you don't mind if we take care of your son, the hero of Konoha.' He smiled and gulped down his own tears.

"Earth to father! Earth to father! Are you okay?" He blinked and watched when Ayame and Misao were smiling to new customers. "We have customers."

"Oh yes! Sorry! What can I give to you?" He asked happily.

--

Naruto walked around with Shiro while sun was setting behind them. They had wondered of to area were high class shinobi houses and compounds resigned. There were Hyuuga compounds and Inuzuka, and abandoned Uchiha compound.

"There sure a lot of ninjas around here." Shiro asked looking around. "Look, aren't those Hyuuga people?"

"Yeah." Blond boy nodded. Pearl like eyes were certain give-away. Young girl appeared from one of the houses. Guards bowed to her honourably. She was followed by one familiar Hyuuga.

"Good bye, Neji-san." Other guard said familiarly. "Take good care of our princess."

"Of course." Boy nodded.

"Neji? Neji! Over here." Naruto waved quickly and run to his old friend. "How you been?"

"Naruto, Ive been fine. Nice to see you again." He said with his plain voice. "I see that you have upgraded your wardrobe."

"Yeah, I see you still wear the same clothes as always." Naruto grinned and pointed his clothes.

Hyuuga boys eye twitched. "This is a new dress of mine. Obviously."

"Is it? I couldn't tell." Naruto shrugged. "Anyway, I heard you are a jonin. How does it feel?"

"Not so much different than being a genin." Neji answered.

"I guess." Blond boy laughed quickly.

"What are you doing around here?" He asked looking at the two. "And who is your friend?"

"Im not his date!" Shiro yelled and punched his face. Everyone looked when Neji fell down to the ground.

"I… didn't ask… about that." Black haired boy said while rising up.

"Oh… sorry then." White haired girl said not sounding it.

"This is Shiro-chan." Girl hit Naruto to face. "Shes being targeted by assassins and Im supposed to protect her for a while."

Little girl bowed politely. Neji hurried to introduce her. "This is Hanabi Hyuuga-sama. Daughter of the main family."

"Main family? Are you Hinata-chans little sister?" Naruto asked looking at little girl. Girl nodded slightly. "Cant see resembles among the siblings." He said shaking his head.

Hanabi looked at his guardian. "Who is this, Neji-san?" She asked arrogantly.

"This is Uzumaki Naruto." Hyuuga answered introducing him.

"Aah… you are the Uzumaki Naruto who my sister has that huge crush?" Hanabi asked. "When will you ask her out so she can finally dumb you?"

Neji was sure that Naruto would freak out from this. Everyone knew of Hinatas crush and everyone knew of his obliviousness. But to his amaze, Naruto only shrugged.

"If she wants to out with me then she shall come ask herself." Blond boy answered. "I cant really ask her if she faints every time I approach her."

Hanabi looked agreeing on this. "I shall make sure she will get some courage." Girl bowed. "Neji-niisan, lets go."

"Yes, Hanabi-sama." Neji followed her off.

After they had gone, Shiro made a finger to their backs. Kibi growled from Naruto shoulder. "What with them?"

"They are Hyuuga." Naruto answered. "That's close as we ever get for nobility in here Konoha."

"But what about Youjiro clan and all other civilian clans? We are all great to." She said looking angry at their backs.

"It has nothing to do with greatness. They were here before Youjiro clan. They were one of the oldest allies of first Hokage in war against the Uchiha clan and helped to build Konoha. That's why they think themselves so great."

"Are they all that way?" Shiro asked when they walked again.

"No… I think Hinata-chan is okay. Even though she lacks self-confidence."

They walked around the streets. Sun was setting but Shiro forbid them to ever se inside his place again until he moved.

"Why you care so much?" Blond boy asked.

"I don't!" White haired girl said angrily and started to walk faster. Suddenly Naruto stopped.

"What?" She asked angrily and walked back and grabbed his arm but he didn't move an inch. "What is it?" She asked again, now more calmly. Last time it had been an attack but Naruto didn't answer. He only looked at one of the houses that were surrounded by walls.

Next to the gate was an engraved sing that said: Namikaze residence. Gate was sealed with a paper seals that resembled .

"That's Yondaimes old house." Shiro looked at walls. "Why are you so interested with it?"

Naruto touched the sign slightly. Sparks appeared when his fingers got too close.

"Naruto! Are you okay?" White haired girl asked but he didn't answer. He only looked at sign. He could see another sing being hold in there once. Letters: U-Z-U-M-A-K-I where only hardly visible.

Naruto gulped.

"Naruto? Listen to me!" Shiro hit him to shoulder.

"Aah! What did you that for?" Naruto asked rubbing his shoulder.

"You passed out on me!" White haired girl answered angrily. "Comon! Sun has almost set and we don't have a place to sleep."

"Well… we could get to my place…" Boy started but girls angry stare stopped him. "What you suggest then? Sleeping outside?"

"No… don't you have any friends to go to?" Shiro asked looking angry.

"Not really. Do you?"

"I have no social life." She said annoyed and blushing a little bit.

"That's too bad." Naruto looked around. His look crashed to five giant head on the stone wall. "I know one place. Lets go."

"Where?" Shiro asked but he only grabbed her arm and threw her to her lap. He started to jump from roof to roof towards the Hokage faces.

"What the hell was that?" She asked angry when blond boy finally put her down. Fox jumped to ground too. "Why you brought me here?"

"Look." Naruto said nodding towards the village. It was coloured in red in evening light.

"Beautiful…" White haired girl whispered. She could feel evening wind blowing her short hair around gently.

"I wanted to destroy that." Kibi said looking depressed. "And was so close success on that."

Naruto ignored him and looked at Shiro. "I have found to us a temporally place."

"What? Where?" Shiro asked happily.

"Here." Blond boy smiled and showed around.

"On the faces of Hokages? Youre not serious!"

"Yes I m." Naruto grinned and pulled a scroll from his shoulder bag.

"We sleep on a paper scroll?" White haired girl asked angrily.

"You should really go out more." Blond boy looked at her a bit worried. He opened a scroll. She could see some kind of marking written on it. Naruto rolled it open to the ground and run some chakra by it. Tent appeared in front of them. Girl couldn't believe her eyes. She had heard of those but was never actually seen one.

"Here. You can sleep inside." Naruto smiled. "Me and Kibi don't mind of sleeping outside."

She looked inside the small tent. "This is amazing."

"Its really nothing. Most of the shinobi use these things. Oh yeah, here." He hold out one new scroll and a sleeping bag appeared. "Here. You might need this."

"Thank you." She whispered blushing. Then she looked around. Sun was setting fast.

"Here." She heard Naruto saying and saw him giving to her a black pill. "It's a food pill." He said with muffy voice. He was eating his already. "I know its not that tasty but it fills your stomach and gives you energy."

"Aah… okay." Shiro took the pill with shaking hands and ate it.

They were sitting over the face of the forth watching how sun was setting and slowly turning into the night.

--

At the gates four kunoichis had finally returned. In their eyes burned a fire of determination.

Sakura was first one to talk. "Remember girls, game will start tomorrow. And when he does his chose, others will admit their defeat. Not messing with others relationship. BUT he has to say: 'You're my girlfriend.' in front of everyone. Before that, game on. Let the best girl win."

Others didn't answer. Only nodded and walked away. Guards looked at them a bit scared.

"Who you think they are talking about?" Other one asked.

"Who knows. But I kinda feel sorry for the guy." Second one nodded.

"Yeah, me too."

--

Naruto felt like shivers running down his spine.

"Are you all right?" Shiro asked looking worried.

"Yes Im fine. Its just cold night." He smiled but couldn't forget the ominous feeling he had behind his head. Like someones were after his head.
