Hello readers and welcome to the next chapter of my story. Now Before I start I would like to tell you that after this chapter I will be NOT posting a chapter. Now this break is something that is going to be my birthday present to myself. Now while this chapter will be posted after my birthday I don't feel right about just not posting leaving everyone wondering if I will post (not that I actually expect anyone to really care too much about it). Anyways I hope that you readers can understand that we writers need a break every now and then…course this isn't really that long of break. Now, on to the story.

Chapter 38

"Okay so where should we start?" Naruto asked Fu as they walked down a quiet street in the village.

"I don't know that is the whole point of you showing me around Naruto-baka" Fu told Naruto who just rubbed the back of his head while chuckling a bit.

"Yea, I guess you are right" he told her then looked up at the sky thinking for a moment. "Actually I know just the place." Naruto told her before rushing ahead forcing Fu to catch up. Course she only managed to catch up when he stood on top of his father's head on the Hokage mountain.

"Finally you stopped! You are supposed to be showing me around not making me chase you!" Fu complained as soon as she landed several yards away from him and walked closer to him. Though as soon as she reached him she him she saw something truly impressive. For from the mountain they could see the entire village and the forest around it. "Wow…I take back my anger." Fu told Naruto looking at the natural beauty of the village.

"Hehe, there is a reason I always picked here to relax and think. Now enjoy the sight while I think about the next part of our tour." Naruto ordered her though she didn't seem to mind and didn't bother to respond but simply continue looking over the mountain.

"Hmm..now where to take her next. I guess maybe we could go through the training grounds first seeing as we are on the outskirts of town. Or maybe I should get going through the shopping center seeing as I don't want to be tempted to eat some ramen made by my tenshi-chan; after all Haku would kill me if I didn't even eat her homemade meal." Naruto thought course thinking about Haku brought his mind back to what they just were doing and his blush reappeared. "Man, I still can't believe we got caught doing THAT by Fu….actually I am surprised we went that far to begin with. Maybe I really did get infected with perverseness by Ero-sennin."

"Foolish boy getting with your vixen doesn't count as being perverted…in fact you should make sure you mark your territory as soon as you can now that we are finally back." A voice told him.

"Ero-fox. I swear you are worse than Jiriaya at times." Naruto responded not at all bothered by hearing a voice in his head. After all during the trip he got more practice with the biju's chakra. Due to this he found that his rare talks with the fox increase for being a rare occasion to being where if he didn't actually block the fox out they could talk at any moment. Thankfully they weren't on the worse terms. This was due to the fact that while the nine tails wasn't happed that he was stuck in a seal he was at least happy that his jailer was 'not a weakling' in the foxes on words.

(Note that while this may be a bit different compared to what I had Kurama as before but I just wanted to have him be slightly more helpful but not an automatic "here take my chakra". I apologize if this was a drastic change but I probably will fix this later if I need to do so…due to celebrating my birthday I yet again am running out of time…sorry readers)

"Che, damn nigen. I am not being perverted, it is just that from the human relationships I have seen…even though it really isn't all that many…you ninja tend to go fast in your relationships. I mean one of your sayings actually pretty much says live your life to the fullest now due to life possibly being short." Kyuubi told him then gained a large smile. "Besides even your parents started off having fun early. In fact I think it was-" Kyuubi began before Naruto quickly blocked off his link having no desire to learn about his parents love life

"Honestly when I think about my personal life I really should block off the perverted fox before I even start. I mean even though that saying is true I doubt too many of my girls are wanting to go THAT fast." Naruto thought before refocusing on the real world again knowing his thoughts were going no where fast.

"Hey come on Fu we have spent enough time here let's head to our next spot…a few of the training grounds then work our way in." Naruto told her deciding that moment.

"Sure. Let's go." Fu told him happily. And with that they began their basic tour where Naruto showed her most of the important parts of Konoha and actually even managed to find her a spot to house her new colony and practice with them. So, in the end Fu was happy with her knowledge of the village and just with the overall feeling of her new home. For even though she has only been in Konoha for two days but yet she already has friends, a nice home, a strong colony, and a village that didn't hate her. Needless to say she was both extremely happy and surprised at how drastic of a change her life had in just a few years; a fact that was all thanks to the blond walking in front of her. She couldn't help but smile as she looked at Naruto's back enjoying the warm feeling the blond's kindness gave her.

"Would you just make your move on him already Fu." The Nanabi ordered Fu who instantly began to blush.

"W-what do you mean by that lucky seven?"

"It is obvious that you love Naruto, and I don't mean in the family way."

"We are just friends! I mean even if I did have a crush on him –which I don't!- he is already dating such beautiful girls…I mean you saw them in that picture he showed us and they have to be even more beautiful as they aged if Haku is anything to go off of."

"Fu we both know that he can date as many girls as he wants to pretty much due to being under CRA rules. Also don't even try and pull that 'we're just friends' comment. If case you forgot I am in your mind…I can see EVERYTHING you do; including dreams." Nanabi told her mentally laughing at the fact that her container was now completely red seeing as she just realized that her 'sister' caught her red handed with her more perverted dreams.

"Heh I think I got through to her finally. I want my little beetle to be happy and while she is finally able to enjoy life she also deserves a good mate. A mate that right now seems to be a toss-up between Naruto-san or that bug loving boy…though to be honest Naruto will always be the choice seeing as her personality is…bubbly when she is comfortable and a calm boy would never be able to handle her." Nanabi thought with a small smile as she let her more mothering side show.

"Ugh, why does lucky seven feel the need to embarrass me. I mean so what if I have dreams like that…all girls do." Fu thought still blushing heavily only to look at Nauto and quickly shake her head. "No, I am not thinking about that. For now I am just going to enjoy spending time with my friend while I get use to living here and not even worry about the thoughts she tries to force into my head." She told herself and caught up to Naruto trying her best to think about anything else besides romance. Luckily Naruto didn't notice and simply turned to the confused girl.

"Ok now Fu I saved the best for last. Welcome to the Ichiraku Ramen stand!" Naruto told her happily before walking into the stand with said girl following along.

"Oy old man say hi to our villages newest meber Fu." Naruto told her smilling widely at Teuchi.

"Hello miss. How are you enjoying the village?" Teuchi asked kindly.

"Yes this place is amazing!." Fu happily told the man who chuckled.

"Who would have guessed there was a female version of Naruto out there?" Teuchi thought as Ayame walked up from out back finally noticing the visitors.

"Welcome Naruto-kun who is this?" Ayame asked curiously.

"Hello Ayame-chan this is Fu, she just moved into the village to become a ninja. So, I was just giving her a tour that of course had to end at the best place in Konoha." Naruto told her with the large smile still on his face.

"You are probably the only one who thinks that Naru-kun." Ayame thought with a sweat drop. "..Anyways you here for a bowl of ramen?" She asked deciding to ignore her boyfriend's weirdness for the moment.

"Sadly I can't seeing as I promised Haku-chan that I would eat lunch with her..though next time I promise I will make sure to have a nice meal with you." Naruto told her.

"Ok Naruto. Well you better head off to eat then. Don't want you to be late after all." Ayame told her favorite blond.

"Yea, you are right. See you later Ayame-chan, Old man." Naruto told the waving as he left dragging Fu with him probably back to his home.

"Now seeing Naru-kun diffidently made this boring day a bit better…and did he just promise me a date?" Ayame thought hoping she was right.

+Back at the apartment+

"Haku-chan we are back!" Naruto called out happily as he walked through the front door.

"Welcome back you two. Lunch is almost ready." Haku told them with a small smile as she walked into the living room of the apartment to see them.

"Great I don't know about you Fu-chan but I am starving." Naruto told Fu sitting down on the couch while Haku laughed at him.

"And this is why I have to make so much food Fu-san. Naru-kun manages to not only eat a lot but also somehow burns it off before the next meal." Haku told the mint haired girl.

"They seem like they are already a married couple" Fu thinks amused especially when Naruto tried to defend himself a bit mentally laughing at the pair. Still they eventually stopped and they all finally sat down to eat.

"So, Yukihime how was your day so far?" Naruto asked curious.

"Pretty good so far." Haku told him with a blush coming to her face as she immediately began thinking about what they did. "I still can't believe we went that far. I just don't know what came over me…or Naruto for that matter. Though to be honest it felt good I wouldn't mind doing it again." She thought glancing over towards said boy who was still happily eating without a care in the world.

"Now Fu-san, do you mind telling me about yourself?" Haku asked the girl who while eating faster than her was still using more manners that her boyfriend was as he devoured the food in front of him.

"Tell you about me?" Fu asked not sure how to respond.

"Yea like your likes, dislikes, and dreams." Haku answered

"Uh…well I am Fu as you know. I like bugs, my nii-chan (forget if they are actually related but running out of time. Check later due to not being important at ALL), lucky seven, and Naruto-kun. I dislike those that harm bugs for no reason, my old village, monster like humans, and those who hurt people for a reason they don't understand. My dream….I am not sure." Fu tells her honestly even though she saw that a bit of what she said was confusing Haku.

"What do you mean when you say lucky seven and monster like humans?" Haku asked. Now of course Fu was hesitant to answer due to seeing how other people reacted to her secret.

"Um Haku-chan those are things that are kind of hard to explain. Just know that her past was just as bad as mine, if not worse; and leave it at that for now. She will tell her story when she feels comfortable." Naruto told the curious girl who nodded to him.

"…thank you Naruto-kun." Fu told him with a small smile only to get a nod from him.

"Sorry for bringing up something you didn't want to share Fu-san." Haku apologized.

"It is ok." Fu told her honestly. And with that they continued to eat the meal while bringing their conversation to other random topics instead of anything personal. That was until they were about done with the meal and heard someone yelling outside of the building.

"Oy Naruto I know you are home. We are bringing all of the teams together for a bit of training and hanging out. It is about time for you to say hello to all of the gang." The voice called out in a tone that could only belong to Kiba.

*sigh* "Well him being a loud and proud person diffidently didn't change." Naruto mumbled out before getting out of his seat and walking outside to talk to Kiba who jumps up to where he was standing.

"Ok Kiba I will join you if you actually tell me when and where. Though honestly how did you even know that of all places I was here?" Naruto told him before asking the one thing he couldn't understand.

"Heh, I smelt you sent being fresh and food around and I am well aware that you never miss a meal if you can help it…in fact you almost act like you belong in Choji's family at times." Kiba told the blond laughing a bit. "Oh and we are going to be at training ground 6 in about twenty minutes you lucky bastard."

"First shut up I just like being healthy and you have to eat to keep your health. Second why are you calling me a lucky bastard?"

"Don't try and hide how lucky you are here bastard. I can still smell a faint whiff of…let's say the pheromones that were in your apartment. You finally decided to go all the way with one of your girls…I honestly don't know whether I should feel proud of you or jealous. But hey in the long run at least you actually know what sex is. We were taking bets about if you were dense enough to romance that you didn't even know what comes with it or not." Kiba explains causing Naruto to blush out of embarrassment.

"S-shut up you damn mutt and just leave. I will see you at the training ground." Naruto told him giving the man in front of him the best glare he could give even if it was ruined by the blush still seen on his face.

"Hahaha see you there." Kiba told himi with a large smile clearly not intimidated at all before jumping to a nearby roof and running off to wherever.

"Damn guy." Naruto mumbles before walking back into the house. "Hey how about we all head to the training ground. I mean Haku-chan you might as well be a part of our group already and it will be the perfect time let Fu get some friends." Naruto explained to them.

"Sure why not. I will go get my gear." Haku tells him before grabbing some of the used plates and putting them into the sink as she walked by before going to get her ninja gear ready.

"Uh, are you sure I should go? I mean they are your friends and I wouldn't want to interrupt your guy's fun." Fu asked kind of nervous about trying to make more friends already.

"Heh don't worry Fu I am sure you will be fine with them. Oh and before you get more stressed just know that I am certain all of my friends have to know of my secret by now and don't care. So, they certainly won't care that another of their friends has the same problem." Naruto told her trying to comfort the nervous girl by placing a hand on her shoulder to show support.

"…ok I will give it a try I guess." Fu tells him causing Naruto to smile at her.

"Great now quickly get your gear and meet me back here and I will introduce you to the gang." Naruto told her happily and then let her walk off and do just that.

Yea I know this chapter is REALLY short but I just didn't have time to write. Now I know this also may be bad even for my standard of writing and I apologize for that. Honestly I also need the time away from writing FF just to refresh my ideas as well. I do want to give you readers the best work I can so I feel that taking this small amount of time will help me get back into it more. (And before anyone gets worried (Ha, like anyone would) I am not anywhere close to even thinking about stopping my stories.)

Now about the actual story I am trying to get Fu to right now be a bit nervous about her new life but also be like a female Naruto. Aka I want them to have become close simply because their personalities match up with each other so much.

Finally just as another reminder for you readers I am NOT going to be posting for the next Saturday I should. I am taking it off as a little present to myself for my birthday. Anyways yet again sorry about the short chapter. Ja Ne.
