"Talking"

'Thinking'

"Jutsu/Kurama Talking"

Chapter 38

Kurenai smiled "Please come in, okaa-sama!" Kurenai lead Kushina inside to her living room which was connected to her balcony. On the balcony was Tayuya and Ino now sitting on two chairs around a small table glaring at Kurenai.

"Oh I didn't know you had company" Kushina said as she noticed them.

"Company?" Kurenai asked sounding confused "I don't.."

Kushina pointed at Tayuya and Ino and when Kurenai acknowledged them she smiled and said "Oh you mean those two losers of love?"

"HEY!" Ino yelled pointing an accusing finger at Kurenai "You haven't won anything yet Kurenai-sensei!"

"That's right cunt!" Tayuya added.

Meanwhile Kushina had a tic mark on her forehead with her eyebrow twitching "About that.. Could you tell me about your and Naruto's relationship?" She asked Kurenai who smiled brightly "With pleasure Okaa-sama!"

Meanwhile with Naruto

Naruto had realized that getting payback on Kurenai was not as easy he thought. He knew to little about this woman and did not know how to make her suffer. In fact Naruto did not know much about any female at all and figured he needed help to make this mission of his a success. That was why Naruto was now currently knocking on Nara Shikamaru's front door.

According to the information Naruto had gathered this Nara Shikamaru or "That Shika guy" as Naruto would refer him to, was the smartest guy in his age group. So Naruto figured if this Shika guy was so damn smart he should know how to make Kurenai suffer. The information was of course gathered after hearing Chouji talk about Shikamaru during Anko's training before the chuunin exam.

Since it was starting to get a little bit late, one irritated Nara Shikaku opened the door. Naruto's knocking had interrupted his silent staring at his bed room wall.

"Hello Shika" Naruto greeted as the door opened and when he saw Shikaku he raised an eyebrow an thought 'When did he get those scars?'

"Aren't you that guy who tied for first place in the chuunin exams?" Shikaku said with a yawn.

"Indeed" Naruto answered while thinking 'Of course that smart-ass would point out that I tied instead of won' with a frown.

Shikaku tilted his head and stared at Naruto lazily while Naruto was lost in his thoughts. They did that for another two minutes until Shikaku asked "So, what do you want?"

'He figured out I want help, as expected of a smart-ass' Naruto thought before answering "I need you to help me deal with a deceiving, cunning, trickster-demon-onna"

Shikaku raised an eyebrow "Demon-onna?" he asked his voice a bit shaky. Did those exist? Was there anyone scarier than Yoshino out there?

"I'm sorry but.." Shikaku was interrupted as his wife Yoshino called from the kitchen "What's that dear?"

"Huh? Nothing dear!" Shikaku called back "Troublesome.." he mumbled.

"Okay because I thought I heard someone say demon-onna" Shikaku heard knuckles cracking "Do you know anything about that?"

"Ahahah" Shikaku laughed as he sweated then turned paler than Orochimaru "Sorry dear I just remembered I have some really important jounin commander work to do!" he yelled and rushed out of the door.

"Move it Uzumaki!" Shikaku yelled out "That is if you want to live"

"Troublesome.." Shikaku mumbled as he ran.

An angry brunette who wore clothes similar to his mother but in different colors armed with a frying pan was all he needed to see to shunshin after Shikaku.

Five minutes later on top of the Hokage Monument

Shikaku and Naruto were panting and sweating as they stared down on the village from the mountain. They had been running nonstop to get away from that woman with the frying pan.

"W-what the hell was that?!" Naruto yelled in a shaky voice.

Shikaku laughed loudly while Naruto thought he had figured it out himself "Well that was my lovely.." he was interrupted by Naruto "So you have one as well?"

"Huh?" Shikaku responded.

Naruto put his face close to his and yelled "A ghost?!"

"Eh no that's not.." Naruto interrupted him again "I will help you with your ghost problem if you help me deal with Kurenai" Naruto had a ghost himself and he had figured out how to deal with them as he showed during the chuunin exams.

"Kurenai?" Shikaku asked while thinking 'This evening might turn out better than what I had planned' Shikaku thought that but doubted it would be better than staring at his wall in peace.

"Yes" Naruto said grinning evily "However, she's a trickster witch and shouldn't be taken lightly"

"Okay so tell me everything about your situation with Kurenai" Shikaku said with a barely noticeable smile as Naruto told him how Kurenai had tricked him during Anko's exams and the many punishments and other things he had to endure.

Meanwhile at the Nara's home

Shikamaru just woke up from a nap due to all the noise earlier. He decided to ask his dad what was going on but could not find him anywhere in the house so he settled on asking his mother. He found Yoshino who seemed more irritated than usual sitting in the kitchen sipping on a cup of tea.

"Mom what was all that noise earlier about?" Shikamaru asked but at the same time he was getting ready to run back to his room and lock it if his mother was in a bad mood.

Yoshino turned to him and glared "Your father thought it would be funny to give me a new nickname"

Shikamaru swallowed slowly before asking "What kind of nickname?"

"Demon-onna" Yoshino said with a smile that terrified Shikamaru and haunted him in his dreams. Yeah now was the time to run and hide in his bedroom, why the hell did he get out of there anyway? Everything is always just so troublesome.

As Shikamaru turned around to leave he heard his mother speak "That was before he ran off with that blonde friend of yours"

"Blonde friend?" Now this did not make sense to Shikamaru the only one he could think of was Ino but why would she have anything to do with this.

"Why would Ino be here so late at night?" Shikamaru asked.

"Ino?" Yoshino asked with a chuckle "Are you dumb? It was that Uzumaki kid who won the chuunin exams today"

"He tied" Shikamaru was quick to answer as he ignored that his mother had just called him dumb. Shikamaru then began thinking. Why would Naruto want to see his father. Shikamaru imagined something involving drinks, his father making up plans and Naruto executing the plans.

"This might be the end of Konoha as we know it" Shikamaru said as a drop of sweat fell from his forehead "I have to find them!"

"Troublesome.."

Yoshino stared at Shikamaru's back in confusion as he ran towards the front door thinking that he was overreacting. The punishment she would deal out later to Shikaku would hardly be a threat to Konoha.. She sighed "Troublesome kid"

At Kurenai's apartment

Kushina wore a proud smile currently after hearing Kurenai telling herself about her and Naruto. Apparently Naruto was quite the gentleman. Meanwhile Tayuya and Ino were pointing at Kurenai accusingly saying things like "No way" and "Liar".

The story Kurenai told earlier

Kurenai and her genins belonging to Team 8 had been attacked by four ninjas of rain village. One of them a jounin and former Konoha shinobi, Rokusho Aoi. Aoi had three chuunin level accompanying him. The chuunins defeated Kiba and Hinata quickly but struggled a bit with Shino. But her students fought bravely.

Kurenai herself was distracted by seeing her students lose and even more so after hearing what the rain ninjas had planned for her and Hinata later. Due to her being distracted Aoi managed to get the upper hand in their battle as he had her pinned on the ground. Just when she thought there was no hope a shiny figure moved out of the trees towards them.

It was a handsome young blonde man riding on a toad he wore fabulous white clothes and a big black mantel. The young man got off of his toad and looked at her students and said "This is horrible I shall defeat these scoundrels and avenge my friends of Konoha"

The noble toad riding prince then made short work out of the chuunins and Aoi impressing Kurenai with his skills.

"That's what happens when you go up against the force that is Konoha" Naruto said standing tall before the corpses "May your souls rest in peace"

Kurenai then told Naruto to bring a sword that Aoi used which he had stolen from Konoha. Naruto did as Kurenai told him and then he took a good look at her.

"My lady, you're hurt" He said with concern.

Kurenai blushed "It's fine I can walk" she said but Naruto would have none of that. He gently lifted her and then carried her bridal style "I will carry you back to Konoha, my lady"

The prince then made three clones to carry her genins the same way as the gentleman he was. After a few hours the prince needed a little break as he had been running while carrying them for hours. He had brought with him a fine wine which he offered Kurenai before reading her some poetry. Kurenai then thanked him for saving her and her genins and commented on how he was a lot stronger than she expected for a young man as himself.

Naruto had then blushed and scratched the back of his head and replied "My skills lacks in comparison to your beauty, Kurenai-hime"

End of story

"Naruto really did all that?" Kushina asked in awe.

"Kushina-nee don't believe that crap!" Tayuya yelled "The shithead would never wear anything like that or talk that way and more importantly; FINE WINE, POETRY?! REALLY?!" she yelled her question comically. Tayuya along with Ino waited eagerly on Kurenai to answer, instead Kurenai ignored them in favor of answering Kushina.

"Yes kaa-sama. Naruto has always been a gentleman" Kurenai blushed "Last time I went shopping he even offered to carry my bags"

Kushina jaw dropped she never thought Naruto could be so.. nice.

"Liar!" Ino yelled red with anger "When Naruto was in my bed last month he told me you forced him to carry those bags as punishment!"

Kurenai, Tayuya and Kushina only heard "When Naruto was in my bed" and ignored the rest. Kurenai was thinking of ways to get rid off Ino without leaving any trace while Tayuya was cracking her knuckles mumbling "You fucking bitch".

Kushina looked as if she was figuring something out before asking "Are you Inoichi's daughter by any chance?"

"Ah, yes" Ino bowed politely "I'm Yamanaka Ino, sorry for not introducing myself"

Kushina smiled kindly at Ino who now stood up straight again "Don't mind that, what a sweet girl you are" She definitely liked the idea of Ino being Naruto's girlfriend more than the old succubus that was Kurenai.

Tayuya nudged Kushina to get her attention "Kushina-nee! Didn't you hear what she just fucking said?!"

Kushina nodded slowly "I'm sure you got the wrong idea and besides I doubt anyone ever slept with Naruto" she thought back on the time Naruto had fallen asleep in her bed during their training. Kushina had not seen him in the dark at first and attempted to climb into the bed. She was stopped by the tip of Naruto's sword pointing at her throat. Kushina had jumped back In surprise and noticed that Naruto had done It all in his sleep before she decided to settle for the bed that Naruto used to sleep in normally.

"Yes I agree with kaa-sama" Kurenai said smiling brightly. After all there was no way Naruto would ever sleep with someone other than her, ever. Meanwhile Kushina's eyebrow twitched due to Kurenai still calling her 'Kaa-sama'

Tayuya and Ino looked at each other thinking along the same lines then shrugged simultaneously.

"I want to hear more about you girls and if possible about Naruto. How about a little trip to the bathhouses, my treat?" Kushina said. She didn't have to wait long for the girls to accept the offer.

With Naruto and Shikaku

Naruto and Shikaku was walking along a road in Konoha. A road very close to Aburame Shino's home, said Aburame Shino was close enough to listen in on their conversation. Shikaku was currently telling Naruto about his plan on how to deal with Kurenai.

"Are you sure about this?" Naruto asked.

"Troublesome" Shikaku answered immediately "Yes, you have to capture her for the plan to work, we need her to be alone"

Naruto frowned on the thought of being alone with Kurenai "I see.. so be it" he answered and Shino who was listening on narrowed his eyes at them. Shino did not like what he heard, where those two planning on attacking his sensei? He decided that he should go tell his teammates; Kiba and Hinata about this and work with them to stop Naruto and Shikaku.

If everything went according to Shikaku's plan, Naruto would be a man by tomorrow. Shikaku laughed at the thought "Kukuku!"

"Are you mocking me?" Naruto said with a hand reaching for the sheath of his sword.

"No no no" Shikaku said hastily then faked a cough "Guess I'm catching a cold"

"Ngh... Hmpf" Naruto responded as they walked further down the road towards Kurenaii's apartment.

Now Naruto and Shikaku was after Kurenai who was with Kushina, Ino and Tayuya heading towards one of Konoha's bathouses. Shikamaru was trying to find Naruto and Shikaku to prevent them from endangering Konoha. Shino, Kiba and Hinata was soon to follow Shikamaru going after the two but for a different reason; saving Kurenai. But those aren't the only ones plotting plans.

One Sarutobi Konohamaru was at the Konoha Academy's playground swinging on a swing with his right hand clenched into a fist.

"Everything's your fault! Blonde bastard!" Konohamaru muttered.

Three unknown figures..

A woman sat on a roof top staring at the Konoha village with a bright smile "This seems like a great night for an adventure"

Another woman was in her apartment currently wearing a newly bought black dress that showed a lot of skin. It barely covered her thighs and showed much cleavage.

'Are you ready for that reward I wonder?' she thought with a big grin.

A girl with boobs way to big for a thirteen year old had made a cat costume for herself. It was all dark so she could easily sneak around during the night. She got the idea of the cat costume due to her teammates tenant and cat like tendencies. This was the costume she would use to capture her fiancé and take him with her home to Kumogakure.

It was just a regular evening in Konohagakure.

I had lots of fun writing this, hope you enjoy it as well. Thanks for reading!
