Hello again…chapter 37 now and we got quite the revelation last chapter…Tsunade's pregnant…and so now Naruto's going to be a father…and he doesn't even know it. I shiver at the thought of a hormonal Tsunade and I feel sorry for anyone who has to deal with her. We'll soon be seeing Jiraiya's reaction and I promise it won't be something over the top like slapping Tsunade or challenging Naruto to a fight however I will say it will have a big effect on both Naruto and Tsunade and it will develop all three of their characters brilliantly.

Now Naruto and Izumi have found themselves in the land of spring and Izumi had signed Naruto up for a mission involving acting and I can assure you it has more to do than just allowing Izumi to have her thrills at an annoyed Naruto…she picked the mission for a reason and I'll show you.

Another thing is Naruto's and Izumi's steadily building relationship and just to be clear Naruto does like Izumi, he still hasn't come to the 'I love you' feeling yet however there are foreign feelings stirring within him…but at the same time he wouldn't act on them now anyway…Naruto values someone's words and what they say far more than most people and when Izumi said she was not going to be just another notch in his belt he took it seriously. So unfortunately he won't make any moves on her like he has with the other woman and like I've shown if he is being nice to Izumi it is purely because he wants to see her happy not get into her pants.

Naruto's mental state may have matured but soon I'm going to show that Naruto will grow up fully and not rely on the need of a woman's body or comfort to feel better and this is all going to happen in about 10 - 15 chapters.

Anyway onto the story,

I DO NOT OWN NARUTO…

Chapter 37

'Pregnant…' The word echoed throughout Tsunade's head as she sat at her desk. She stared at the paper work in front of her with an unreadable expression…she wasn't sad or happy…she was…just content. She felt no urge to drink any alcohol and she was less annoyed than usual it was like she was completely calm.

It felt strange…that there was something growing inside of her…a child…her child, she should have been screaming at the top of her lungs promising to kill Naruto for doing this to her. Yet she felt no urge at all to do so if thinking rationally it had been both of their faults that this happened they used no contraception and with her body becoming younger once again she should have foreseen the chance of becoming pregnant. Thinking back Tsunade remembered how she had not once used the anti-pregnancy jutsu since she regained her younger body all those times she had sex with Naruto with her new body she did not once use a protection due to the circumstances of what was happening so it was only logical that due to how much…they had done it she would be like this.

Looking down Tsunade noticed her hand resting on her stomach…it had been there all morning not moving once. This was her child…this was both Naruto's and her child the proof of their intimate times together.

Shizune stared at her master in worry not once had she touched her alcohol or shouted at anyone she had just sat there with a content look on her face her while resting her hand on her stomach. For anyone else this may have been unsurprising but to Shizune everything about her seemed different.

Tsunade had a unique glow to her, this content face was something she herself had never seen Tsunade have and her not attempting to drink alcohol was something unusual itself. All in all Shizune could say Tsunade was acting differently…the only question was why?

"Godaime-sama, I have the reports you asked for" Shizune turned her head towards the door as she noticed someone walk into the room.

The man was relatively average height he had brown hair shaped into a ponytail he had a rather unique scar running across his nose and by his jacket she could tell he was a Chunin.

"Thank you Iruka-san" Tsunade said snapping out of her thoughts as Iruka brought the documents over to her desk. Tsunade did notice the slight brief glance Iruka sent Shizune and smiled internally.

'Looks like someone's got a crush' Tsunade thought before looking at Shizune and noticed she was also staring at Iruka however it seemed more like curiosity rather than anything else.

"Will that be all Godaime-sama?" Iruka asked he was trying his hardest not to glance at Shizune but his eyes kept wondering to her. He had immediately gained feelings for her the moment he had seen her walking through the village she was beautiful and kind.

"Yes, I no longer require your assistance" Tsunade stated looking at the reports of one 'Nimato Uzumaki'.

"Thank you Godaime-sama…Shizune-san" Iruka said bowing before leaving the room quickly causing Tsunade to smirk at the man's embarrassment.

"Well he was nice wasn't he Shizune?" Tsunade asked her student. Shizune on the other hand snapped out of her thoughts and raised an eyebrow.

"I suppose so…" Shizune replied tilting her head and her master's behavior…she never normally acted like this. Tsunade smiled she liked Iruka she had read up he had been Nimato's only tutor who was willing to teach him not to mention he helped Nimato when he needed it and the man even viewed himself as an older brother to Nimato.

"Anyway Shizune have you been able to get a hold of Naruto's file?" Tsunade asked and Shizune looked startled slightly before gasping.

"Of course…I forgot I had it" Shizune said blushing in embarrassment she had been too preoccupied by her master's behavior that she had forgot Naruto's file. Taking the file off Shizune Tsunade opened the folder and shook her head at the updated photo of Naruto…he did look handsome.

Glancing through the folder there were moments that caused Tsunade to raise an eyebrow it wasn't all that surprising but looking at it all written down it did look a little worrying.

'Suffering from depression, childhood trauma, his mental stability is considered to be dangerous for himself and others around him'

Tsunade narrowed her eyes at the report that was surprisingly accurate she had seen his mind was a scarred place…he had seen so much. He was obviously still affected by the death of his parents this was obvious by how much he'd protect their name and how fondly he talked about them.

Turning the page Tsunade began to read the page before her eyes widened horrifically…she had not known this and she doubted many people knew this…his Moukton powers and even his high control of chakra made sense now.

Frowning as she continued to read she couldn't help but place her hand on her stomach as if protecting whatever was growing inside.

With Naruto

"Action" Naruto heard the director and watched as Koyuki filmed her scene she was dressed in a blue one piece dress that hugged her cleavage together. She had light blue eye shadow applied and red lip-stick placed on her making her look like some sort of movie star.

Naruto watched as Koyuki walked through a door the camera still on her, she walked into what seemed to be a bar and Naruto looked in to see the extras that had been hired they were drinking on separate tables however as Koyuki entered they all turned and looked at her in silence.

Watching Koyuki walk into the room with a straight face he couldn't help but sigh at what type of movie this actually was…a porn movie…out of everything he could have done it had to be a porn movie…he could just kill Jiraiya right now.

"What can I get you darling?" Naruto concentrated back on the scene and heard the barman talking to Koyuki.

"Ah…no thanks I'm waiting for someone" Koyuki answered sitting down at the bar avoiding the eyes of many men as they stared at her in lust.

"No…problem, what's your name if you don't mind me asking" The barman asked.

"Sienna" Koyuki replied.

"That was excellent Koyuki-sama you really got into your character" The director said and Naruto sighed the making of movies was harder than it looked there where so many scenes that had to be done.

"Okay Naruto-san you'll be appearing in the next scene do you remember what to do?" The director asked and Naruto found his eyebrow ticking…of course he knew he wasn't a child who couldn't do his job besides acting wasn't that hard for him, he did it most of the time anyway.

"Alright get in positions on the count of three Naruto-san you walk through the door" The director explained causing Naruto to nod once again.

"Okay…action" The director shouted immediately everything went quiet and a brief moment of nervousness went through Naruto causing him to run a hand through his hair.

Acting…it wasn't that hard right? He had done it for most of his life so this shouldn't be hard. His character went by the name Arashi he had sad background due to the fact his family had died in a house fire when he was at a young age.

Opening the door Naruto looked through the room remembering not to look at the camera. It took him a few moments however his eyes quickly landed on Koyuki he had to admit she looked beautiful and even though she wasn't a Kunoichi he could tell she had a killer body.

Sitting down next to Koyuki Naruto raised his hand towards the sake and the barman nodded. Taking one last glance at the bar by looking over his shoulder Naruto glanced at Koyuki out of the corner of his eye.

"Sienna-san I presume" Naruto said he felt ridiculous due to the clothes he had been told to wear. He was wearing a Stetson type hat a large black trench coat and black boots.

"Are you Arashi-sama?" Koyuki replied glancing towards Naruto he noticed her lips straight away they looked so delicious with the red lipstick on.

"Yes…I am here for your case" Naruto replied as the barman came back and put the sake down next to him before quickly scarpering off.

"I see…I appreciate this" Koyuki said with a smile and before Naruto could say anything the director started to clap causing Naruto to turn around and sigh that was the end of the scene thank god he was beginning to forget his lines.

"Excellent as usual Koyuki-sama but Naruto-san you really surprised me you really got into the character you actually pulled off the dark and mysterious character really well" The director praised and Naruto frowned for a moment…of course he'd be good at playing that part…it was the only character he knew how to play.

"I agree I have worked with professional actors and none where as good as that" Koyuki stated and Naruto sighed once again before smiling.

"Thank you…I guess I did what came naturally" Naruto said and backstage Izumi narrowed her eyes at Naruto's reply…sooner or later he would realize that he would have to realize that acting out a personality that wasn't his true one would end in disaster eventually he was better off not showing any personality or emotion at all.

"Have you read this?" Naruto questioned Izumi as he sat on the bed of his hotel room it was a double room with two separate beds he didn't mind sharing with Izumi after all.

"Not really" Izumi replied rubbing her head, she was gaining a headache and fast her illness was coming up again and she had to take her medicine. Reaching into her bag she pulled out one of the bottles before gulping down the liquid inside.

"Whoever thought of this plot needs shooting seriously…cliché after cliché" Naruto said as he read the plot in disgust.

Seriously a man suffering from trauma due to the loss of his family becoming a body guard because he feels the need to protect people now…so overused…where was the creativity or imagination and it only got better.

"The hero will fall in love with his client after spending so much time with her and realizing she was all he ever wanted" Naruto said in a mocking voice if this really was based on one of the Icha Icha novel series he really wondered whether or not his sensei had a fetish for heroes and damsel in distress stories.

"Hey Izumi have you seen this…" Naruto trailed off as he turned around all the while pointing at his script. Standing up Naruto placed the script down before walking over towards Izumi…she was fast asleep.

Pulling her covers over her Naruto smiled down at her, he was worried about her…a lot he knew however that he wouldn't give up looking for a cure and besides if he found a cure for her then perhaps it would work on him too.

Leaning down Naruto placed a kiss to her forehead he enjoyed watching her face twitch slightly but soon found himself walking towards the door to the room and placing his palm on it. Slowly a Hiraishin marker appeared circling around the center of the door.

"Goodnight" Naruto whispered walking out of the room his mind still thinking about Izumi.

Staring at the moon Naruto frowned would he end up like Izumi was now after his body stopped healing him...would he have to rely on medicines and sleeping to keep him moving?

"So you're out here too" Naruto turned his head to the sight of Koyuki sitting on the railing. Naruto had decided the best place to go would be the roof of the hotel since it was the largest building around.

"Yeah…it's a nice night" Naruto said back noticing Koyuki walking towards him.

"Did you know this hotel…is the largest building in the land of spring?" Koyuki asked looking over the railing to busy streets below her. Naruto raised an eyebrow at the question…he didn't know this however he did not really care.

"Why's that?" Naruto asked looking at Koyuki while she continued to look at the people below her.

"Because the land of spring is a large tourist attraction…a lot of people come here for vacations nowadays" Koyuki responded Naruto nodded in understanding it was true he had seen a lot of people who did not look like they were from around here.

"You're a great actor you know" Koyuki stated and Naruto turned to her once again causing her to blush.

"You think?" Naruto questioned…it was strange getting a praise from an actress like Koyuki since there was no doubt in his mind she was the one used to getting praises.

"Yeah…I could see it earlier you became Arashi with no effort at all most actors take hours of preparation while you on the other hand where able to act like someone completely different without even trying" Koyuki explained and Naruto frowned slightly.

"I've had practice I suppose" Naruto responded, Koyuki stared at him for a few seconds before grinning.

"Well I'll be looking forward to see what else you can do" Koyuki stated smiling and Naruto scowled at the thought of the script.

"I can't believe I'm actually going ahead with this movie though…especially considering it's porn" Naruto said making Koyuki giggle slightly.

"Well that's just something you have to get used when acting…but don't worry I'll go easy on you" Koyuki said winking at Naruto before she turned around and left the roof leaving Naruto by himself.

With Tsunade

Tsunade once again was sitting behind her desk frowning however again she had not touched any alcohol keeping her sober the thought of drinking alcohol had not even come to her at all since yesterday.

Now though she was frowning as she read the reports of both 'Nimato Uzumaki' and 'Naruto Namikaze'.

Nimato's was a little disturbing to say the least it mentioned how he had been neglected by the populace of the village and how he had been discriminated against due to having the Kyuubi sealed within him. She could only imagine how much damage there would have been if Naruto had saw this. She was glad to know that he wasn't physically beaten up but his mental capability did worry her slightly…there was no one who could go through so much pain and come out smiling like Nimato did.

However she sighed and remembered that Nimato was Naruto's little brother if anyone could go through that pain it was him the two of them where really alike in that aspect.

Looking at Naruto's report Tsunade began to worry what she had read in it really did disturb her. Picking up the folder she scanned other his blood type his parents and personal information until she reached a part that read 'classified'

May 24th

Naruto was found crying in his room with Orochimaru of the Sannin stood over him with what seemed to be a needle. No arrest was able to be made due to Orochimaru fleeing the village.

May 25th

After further testing we were able to figure out that what Orochimaru had injected into baby Naruto was the blood of one Uchiha Mikoto and Hashirama Senju…why we still do not know.

December 3rd

Naruto has still shown no affects from being injected with the blood of an Uchiha and a Senju and is growing healthily…

P.S. this report should be kept private in hopes everyone can just forget this horrible incident ever happened seeing as no one was harmed

Tsunade could only sigh at the report Naruto having Moukton made sense to her now…he had inherited the power from her grandfather…however what did worry her was he also injected with the blood of an Uchiha…Izumi's mother to be exact…why was that? Did Orochimaru expect Naruto to gain the Sharingan through blood transfusions, he must of tried this method before…so what was so special about Naruto.

Before she could ponder anymore the sound of her door bursting open caught her attention. Standing there was Sakura Haruno…Nimato's teammate and crush if she remembered right however she looked upset and broken.

"Sasuke-kun…he left" Sakura whispered and Tsunade's eyes widened before snapping her fingers and immediately two anbu shinobi's appeared in front of her.

"Get me Nara Shikamaru immediately" Tsunade ordered with a stern voice her eyes narrowing at the thought of the Uchiha…she knew immediately where he was going and knew it was trouble.

As the Anbu vanished Tsunade sighed before closing Naruto's folder and placing it back on her desk she would have to ponder on that problem later right now she needed to reign in this spoilt Uchiha brat.

Later

Nimato frowned as he rushed through the forests in the land of fire his best friend had abandoned the village seeking power…his crush Sakura had begged him to bring back Sasuke with tears in her eyes.

His heart was hurting his best friend had betrayed him and everyone else in Konoha by running off to Orochimaru. Next to him were Shikamaru Nara, Kiba Inuzuka, Neji Hyuga and Chouji Akimichi.

Rushing through the forest now the crying face of Sakura made him tighten his fist…Sasuke that dumbass, how dare he hurt Sakura-chan like this making her cry was unforgivable.

'Sasuke…' Nimato thought narrowing his eyes hoping Sasuke wasn't too far ahead and that everything would go right.

With Izumi

Izumi sighed shaking her head as she watched Naruto act…he was actually pretty good if she was being honest however it did get a little boring especially when it came to 'the romantic' bits' whenever these type of moments came she would usually turn to the book she was currently reading.

'The greatest Samurai's ever' the title read, the book was really interesting she had not known much about the samurai culture. The land of spring was really a samurai cultured country and she decided to use this time to research up.

She had learnt a lot when reading the book such as before the era of clan wars the lands of earth, lightning and water was all controlled by samurai influence and it was only after the formation of Konoha when being a shinobi was more important due to samurai's not been able to match up with Ninjutsu.

Although there were some samurai that could be considered demons they were able to go head to head with the most powerful shinobi using only their katana.

Kitini Kawaki – A samurai from the land of water she was hailed for her agility and flexibility on the battlefield. She was feared as the crimson maiden due to her killing style, she would generally slice the opponent's throats showering the area in blood.

Her katana is still held in the land of water as a symbol of strength for all Kunoichi or female samurai around the world it was rumored she was from the Uzumaki clan due to her crimson red hair.

Izumi stared at the picture of Kitini she was beautiful she wore red and green samurai armor and her katana had a long blade and was red in color. Her hair was dark red and her eyes where green, she also appeared to have a cross shaped scar on her eyebrow.

Izumi was impressed by this woman she looked strong beautiful and noble and it was good to know it wasn't only the men back then who were dominant, she looked elegant in the photo and her grip on the katana showed she was experienced in the art of Kenjutsu.

Sol Malawi – A samurai who was well known throughout the land of lightning he is the father of the first Raikage his large muscular build made him a fierce samurai that towered over the battlefield. He also had the ability to manipulate lightning into his katana much like how samurai's this day and age can.

He was known as the thunder demon that shocked his enemies leaving only ashes' remaining his katana is held in a private chamber located deep within the land of lightning.

Izumi raised an eyebrow at the man he wore large white samurai armor and wielded a katana shaped into a lightning bolt. His skin was tanned and he had a white Mohawk and a small scar under his eye.

Flipping through pages Izumi scrolled through many pages and it was interesting that samurai that had special abilities which she could only presume where bloodlines however eventually she reached a page and stopped while looking at the person.

Ryuujin Dogou – A samurai notorious throughout the land of earth, unlike most samurai he was viewed as evil and seen as a devil even by his own people. He was once head of the village now known as Iwagakure No Sato his cruel behavior forced his own followers abandon him.

His swordsmanship was feared throughout the lands and he had an unrivaled ability with chakra control, his chakra control was on such a level he was able to distinguish which clans or families people where from.

He was eventually killed in battle by both Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama in their younger days however no body was ever found but its presumed his body was washed away by the river he died near.

Izumi looked at the man in the photo and narrowed her eyes the man was tall he had dark brown samurai armor and a katana that was pure black in color, he had short black hair and a scar that ran vertically down the left side of his face.

"Alright that's it for today people great work" Izumi lifted her head up and looked towards Naruto who seemed relieved that it was over…she didn't know why he was revealed because even if he wasn't acting in front of the camera anymore he was still acting all the time hiding his guilt, anger, frustration, happiness…everything.

Naruto sighed as he finished the scene he was just in, it was some romantic speech he gave that sounded cheesy and predictable but it was only the set up speech most people like to call it around here as it was to build up for the characters all important confession speech…he never really did get why people did that.

Confessing…was it really needed to show someone you loved them he had never felt the urge to do it but perhaps that was because he had never truly been in love that way, he had never loved someone so much that he had to tell them. There always seemed to be some block in the way…with Tsunade, Mei, Kurenai and other woman he had grown feelings for even if they had been small, he felt no need to chase any of them down and tell them how he felt or anything like that he just let his feelings for them die…was it him? Was there something wrong with him was he just incapable of loving anything?

Shaking his head Naruto put on a smile it was ridiculous to think about this now…he hated this movie he really did. There were so many moments that made him question himself and make him doubt himself. It was like he was unable to run away or bury the guilt and fears he had in him due to playing the role he was in.

"You were great as usual Naruto-kun" Koyuki said walking towards Naruto with a smile and a bottle of water.

"Thank you, you were excellent yourself" Naruto replied back he could safely say he was friends with Koyuki now since she did refer to him with a close suffix and she was always trying to talk to him.

"Naruto-kun would you be free say seven o'clock…tonight?" Koyuki asked with a slight blush and Naruto raised an eyebrow if he didn't know any better he'd say she was asking him out…fortunately for him he did know at least a little better.

"Ah…sorry I think I'll be a little busy" Naruto said raking a hand through his hair trying to nervously laugh. Koyuki frowned for a moment before looking towards Izumi and bit her lip.

"Is it because Uchiha-san? Are the two of you in a relationship?" Koyuki asked and Naruto widened his eyes slightly.

"N-No nothing like that where just…friends" Naruto answered it was true their relationship could be considered as a friendship however there was uncertain feelings in Naruto when he thought about Izumi however he had learnt to reign them in for her since he did not want to be in the way or burden her with them.

"You should go" Naruto heard Izumi say without even looking up from her book causing Naruto to frown. It was true he had no obligation to be 'faithful' to Izumi since there was no romantic relationship between them however there was still an uneasy feeling rushing through him whenever he thought of having sex with someone over than Izumi now.

"Alright…looks like I'm free then, I'm all yours" Naruto stated looking towards Koyuki and immediately a smile found itself on her face.

"Great I'll meet you outside the hotel" Koyuki beamed as she thought out what she would wear tonight.

"Okay…" Naruto said watching her walk off before sighing.

Later

Naruto stood outside of the hotel in a black suit he thought considering Koyuki was a daimyo under-dressing would be a little unsuitable and he was right especially when he noticed Koyuki walking towards him two samurai guards to her side.

She wore a long one piece red dress with a white scarf and red high heels shoes her hair had been lifted up into a stylish bun.

"You look beautiful" Naruto said truthfully, she did look beautiful there was certainly a long list of male admirers he could see anyway. Koyuki blushed slightly before snapping her fingers causing her samurai guards to walk away.

"Thank you and you look handsome yourself" Koyuki stated walking closer to Naruto waiting for him to hold out his arm and once he did she wrapped hers around his quickly.

"No bodyguards?" Naruto asked wondering where her samurai guards went.

"Not tonight…I have you to protect me" Koyuki replied with confidence before they began to walk.

Naruto sipped on his cup of sake as he sat in a fancy restaurant he could tell it was a place for the big wigs so to say and what made even more impressive was Koyuki had been able to get a private room for the two of them.

Dinner had been nice they had made some small talk but there hadn't been much talking really it had been an awkward dinner to say the least as if neither of them knew what to talk about.

"So…Naruto-kun did I ever tell you how this country was freed?" Koyuki asked and Naruto shook his head he had heard that the country had been once ruled by a tyrant before Koyuki but he hadn't really put that much thought into it.

"All I can say is that I wouldn't be sitting here now if it wasn't for the help of a Konoha team who helped me defeat my late uncle" Koyuki explained and Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly a Konoha team?

"A Konoha team?" Naruto said in a questioning tone he had a hunch which this team was but he assumed there would be a story about his little brother and that was something he was eager to hear about.

"Yes…Uchiha Sasuke, Hatake Kakashi, Sakura Haruno and Uzumaki Nimato they all helped save this country especially Nimato-kun" Koyuki said thinking softly about Nimato he was an amazing boy.

"Uzumaki Nimato?" Naruto said and Koyuki beamed at the sound of his name.

"Yes…he helped me the most, he taught me not to give up and he even defeated my uncle with a cool shinobi jutsu, I remember it now how it shined like a rainbow" Koyuki said thinking back and Naruto listened in he was proud to hear his brother was accomplishing so much with his life.

"So anyway do you have anyone special in your life Naruto-kun?" Koyuki asked she couldn't help be curious.

"No…not really, how about you?" Naruto replied back and for a moment he saw a sad expression appear on the face of Koyuki.

"Well…I do have a fiancée…it's all an arranged marriage to help strengthen countries but I suppose technically I do have a fiancée" Koyuki confessed and Naruto nodded it made sense countries had arranged marriages all the time to strengthen ties.

"Do you love him?" Naruto asked.

"No…he's nice and everything he's also the son of a daimyo…yet I just don't feel anything for him" Koyuki explained and Naruto nodded.

Later

Naruto stood outside the house of Koyuki he had walked her back home since she had ordered her samurai guards away for the night.

"I had a wonderful time tonight Naruto-kun thank you" Koyuki said as she stood awkwardly and Naruto smiled at her.

"I should be thanking you after all you organised everything tonight" Naruto replied back causing Koyuki to giggle.

"I suppose I did but thank you for walking me home" She said.

"It was my pleasure" Naruto stated leaning in to kiss Koyuki's cheek however before his lips touched her cheek he stopped and noticed she was staring at him and before he knew she had turned her head so her lips where slightly touching his.

Straight away they both connected their lips and kissed one another Koyuki quickly hooked her arms around his neck while he placed his hands on her waist. After several seconds of mixing saliva they pulled back flushed looks on their faces however Koyuki quickly blushed.

"I-I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that...it was inappropriate" Koyuki apologised and Naruto quickly snapped himself out of whatever he was thinking.

"No…need to apologize" Naruto said smiling causing Koyuki to smile and quickly lean in to peck Naruto on the lips.

"Thank you again for tonight" Koyuki said before retreating inside her house.

Naruto walked into his room and sighed while taking his tie off he noticed Izumi was still up reading her book.

"You're back early" Izumi said and Naruto jumped onto his bed not even bothering to take the rest of his clothes off.

"So…is that a problem?" Naruto asked and Izumi's lips twitched slightly however it was hidden due to the book covering her face.

"No… there's no problem" Izumi confirmed turning over the page in her book.

"I'm bored now though" Naruto said out loud causing Izumi to lower her book slightly and raise an eyebrow.

"I've got cards...if you want to play?" Izumi questioned and Naruto thought for a second before grinning.

"Sure…I'd like that" Naruto replied back getting up eagerly so he could play cards with Izumi.

Alright done so a bit of build-up and story progression and in a way Naruto grew slightly he wasn't bothered that he wasn't able to get lucky instead he was happier to play cards with Izumi…

Also just in case you did not get it Shizune's romantic interest will be Iruka two brotherly figures to Nimato I wonder how Iruka will react when he finds out Naruto slept with Shizune…not like he could do anything about it though…

Next chapter will involve Jiraiya finding out about Naruto and Tsunade and I can tell you it's going to be dramatic.

Anyway thanks for reading,

Until next time…
