"Talking"

'Thinking'

"Jutsu/Kurama Talking"

Chapter 53


"That's enough!" Tsunade ordered standing between the two, the chakra covering them both disappeared.

Naruto tilted his head in confusion while Gai spoke "Sorry Hokage-sama I think we let ourselves be to youthful in this fight"

"Using a technique that puts that much strength on your body in a simple spar, what were you thinking?" Tsunade questioned Gai who just shook his head "I kinda overreacted after he went for my most youthful possessions" Tsunade's eyebrows twitched in annoyance "And besides, Naruto was a very youthful opponent, I had to be at my best to keep up".

Tsunade sighed "Very well.. go find Shizune and have her fix whatever damage that technique has caused to your body this time"

"Yes, Tsunade-sama" Gai saluted and disappeared with a shunshin.

"And you.." she almost spat the words as she turned to Naruto who was not paying attention to her at all. Instead Naruto was staring at Kurenai while scratching the back of his head.

Naruto turned to Tsunade and mumbled "Did you say something?"

"That chakra you used, what was that?" Tsunade asked because she was not sure, it could be the Kyubi's chakra but that chakra never felt like that.

Naruto chuckled "That was my hidden power that I can only use when you are watching me, Tsunade-hime"

Tsunade shook her head at his behavior "I want to talk about the other techniques you showed as well but not here in front of all the genins"

Naruto nodded "How about tomorrow on our date? I'm sure we can talk about it then"

Tsunade smiled "Good idea" she was about to let Naruto talk to his friends that had watched the fight when she snapped at him "And it's not a date!"

"Hai hai" Naruto waved lazily back at her walking towards Kurenai.


With the spectators just as the fight was stopped

Kiba had his jaw drop to the ground as he stared at Naruto in disbelief "What the fuck?" he muttered. Kiba knew that Naruto was a crazy strong swordsman but him being this good with ninjutsu was news to him.

"This is how a fight between two high level jounin looks like" Kakashi spoke in a bored tone seeing that most of the other genins had the same reaction as Kiba. Some had different reactions however..

"As expected from Naruto-sensei, see that Uchiha!?" She turned to Sasuke and flipped him off "You will always be beneath the Senju, Shannaro!" Sakura had decided that she wanted to become a swordsman and person like her sensei, starting with becoming a Senju herself. If Naruto could, why couldn't she?

"Taichou is strong as always, right Hanabi-chan?" Midori spoke to her teammate.

Hanabi nodded watching Naruto with awe "He is the strongest" she paused for a second before turning to Midori "That's Hanabi-sama to you, commoner"

"Don't be like that Hanabi-chan.." Midori sweat dropped.

Shikaku chuckled as he thought on how much Naruto resembled Minato "Troublesome.." he muttered which was followed by Shikamaru's own depressed mutter of "Troublesome..".

Shikamaru was thinking of when word would spread about Naruto becoming a jounin to his mother. She would not let him hear the end of it and make him try harder to go up in the ranks himself.

"That's to be expected of my boyfriend" Kurenai spoke with hears in her eyes staring at Naruto lovingly.

"He's my boyfriend, cunt" Tayuya was staring at Naruto the same way before she snapped at Kurenai.

"In your dreams maybe, Tayuya-chan" Kurenai spoke in a mocking tone.

"Hey!" Ino yelled at the two "Don't forget about me, Naruto loves me the most"

Sasuke laughed hearing every girl declare their love for Naruto, all the annoyances were soon gone from him. Now he could train to take down Itachi without interruptions. As he thought that a swarm of former classmates found the training grounds.

Most of them female and a few males "Sasuke-kun!" they squealed and run up to him with hearts for eyes.

'Damnit' poor Sasuke thought before taking off with his fangirls and boys following after him.

Kiba frowned as he stared at Midori who had started watching Naruto who was heading towards them the same way Kurenai and Tayuya did. He had trained hard this past year to impress his crush. His plan was to challenge Naruto to a fight and show Midori how strong he had become before he would confess his love. That plan would have to wait now, he had to up his training and hide his sister.

When Naruto reached them, Jiraiya and Kushina had joined them as well.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" Naruto asked Jiraiya who shined up and smiled back at Naruto.

"Surprised to see me? Did you miss your godfather that much?" Jiraiya laughed halfheartedly.

"God father?" Naruto asked in an angry tone "More like dead man walking"

Jiraiya yelled about Naruto not showing him respect he deserves for being the great gallant super pervert and best god father ever.

Naruto ignored him in favor of Kurenai "Kurenai-hime it's time you and me have a real date"

Kurenai nodded with a happy look on her face "Of course it is"

Naruto threw Kurenai over his shoulder why the others stood frozen in shock "You're next" he nodded to Tayuya who was red faced in both anger and embarrassment.

"The hell she is" Kurenai bonked Naruto in the back of his head before Naruto disappeared with a yell of "Stop hitting me, baka-onna!" using a shunshin.

After they had left Kushina had started raging on about how wrong it was for Naruto to date Kurenai. Luckily for Naruto and Kurenai, Jiraiya was there to change the focus of her anger to him.

'You owe me for this, brat' Jiraiya thought as he ran from a furious Kushina chasing him. All he had done was compliment her assets a little.

After they left only the genins was left at the training grounds.


Two days later

The shinobi from the other villages has started arriving in Konoha. Naruto was currently on his patrol duty where he patrolled every part outside Konoha looking for anything out of order. His date with Kurenai had gone well. Naruto had taken her out for dinner at a nice restaurant then to a movie. After the movie they had walked around Konoha walking hands. They ended the date with a kiss before saying good night.

At least that's how Naruto wants to remember it. After the movie Naruto had told Kurenai about his lunch with Mikoto and his plans to have multiple girlfriends. Kurenai had left after slapping his face hard and yelled that he was a selfish bastard.

His "date" with Tsunade was all buisness. Naruto had treated her to ramen at Ichiraku's where they had talked about his techniques such as the Hiraishin. Tsunade had also given him a more detailed mission briefing.

While Naruto sat on the village wall looking out into the forest surrounding Konoha he felt someone approach him. He looked to his side to see a girl with short black hair who wore a headband with the Iwa symbol.

She stopped and glared at him "You!" she said almost in an accusing manner.

"Huh?" Naruto responded in confusion.
