Chapter 51

--

Sasuke awoke with Sakura sleeping at the side of his bed. His eyes burned with anger. "I was weak, I was too weak. What the hell was all my training for? I couldn't even land a blow on him after 3 years of training with Kakashi. I've improved nothing." Sasuke glared at Sakura. "I've let them become too close to me. They've clouded my hate. No more." Sasuke took a deep breath as he calmed himself.

"Sasuke-kun you're awake." Sakura said as she rubbed her eyes.

Sasuke nodded. "Hn, could I be alone Sakura?" He asked in his best monotone voice.

Sakura nodded. "Hai, you're okay right?"

Sasuke nodded. "Hai, I just need to think for awhile."

Sakura nodded as she left the room.

Sasuke glared out the window. Itachi's words painfully ringing in his head. "You are not even worth killing. Foolish little brother...if you wish to kill me you must hate me, detest me and survive in an unsightly way. Run and cling to life."

Suddenly Sasuke's shoulder throbbed from the curse seal, reminding him of Orochimaru's words.

"I know you seek power Uchiha...power I can give you. Seek me out and I shall grant you the power you seek. The power to avenge your family and to destroy Itachi."

Sasuke clenched his teeth. "No, I can't go. His power is false. I can do this on my own, I just need to isolate myself and focus on killing him."

Tsunade glanced at Naruto as he tried the third step of the cat toy. He moved the ball in the cat toy, and then a heavier ball inside a cat toy, except this time he didn't have the seal and the ball only reacted to chakra. He wasn't allowed to directly touch it, so instead by combining the wind's movement with his chakra he let the breeze carry it into the ball and move it.

Now he had to remove a heavy lead ball that was inside the cat toy that was the size of his palm. He could move the ball around with his chakra inside thanks to the wind, but he could never move it fast enough to break through. It was impossible and the breeze would only blow through the ball after awhile.

"Shit, I don't get this. Maybe there's something I'm missing." He said as he moved the ball around with the air, but it still remained inside it.

"Give it up brat." Tsunade said with a slight slur.

Naruto just grinned. "I'll get it down."

Tsunade chuckled. "Ha, yeah right."

Jiraiya sighed. "You know why we've come right?"

Tsunade nodded. "And I decline."

Naruto's eyes widen. "What, why?"

Tsunade sighed. "Because, Hokages are pathetic."

Naruto eyes narrow into a glare. "What did you just say?"

Tsunade smirked. "They're pathetic losers just like the dream is."

"Take that back!" Naruto roared only to have Tsunade down another cup of sake. "And if I don't?"

Naruto clenched his fist, forming the Rasengan. "I'll pulverize you."

Tsunade chortled. "Hah! You, someone who can't even get the ball to fall out of a toy. That's a good joke Naruto."

Naruto glared. "Bitch, I'll show you."

Tsunade laughed, "Fine, I'll make you a wager. If you can make the toy inside the ball jump I'll take it back. I'll even wager my necklace."

Naruto eye the necklace. "Fine, and if I lose?"

Tsunade smirked. "You pay off all my bar tabs."

Naruto nodded. "Deal, because I'm not going to lose."

--

Naruto stared at the ball. It was his last day to figure it out. He could get his chakra into it and even make a breeze around it, but he could not move it enough. He thought long and hard. "Wait, a seal. If I construct a seal I might be able to move the ball from inside the toy to the palm of my hand with my chakra. I just need to mold my wind chakra then use a seal on my hand...where's my ink brush?"

Naruto scribbled a seal for Kawarimi no jutsu. Then he concentrated his chakra that was inside the ball around the metal ball. If he was correct he could perform a substitution jutsu with his chakra that was around the ball.

Naruto shut his eyes as he performed the seal required for Kawarimi then opened his palm. With a silent light breeze the ball appeared in his hands.

"HOLY SHIT IT WORKED!" He shouted as he clenched the cursed ball. He brought the empty toy to his eyes, "Kawarimi, with the element instead of a log. You place chakra into the ball, and then substitute your element instead of your body. That's what all the steps were for. The first for the transfer I needed to harness my chakra outside the ball. Then I needed to be able to move the chakra through the air. Finally the getting past solid objects. So basically I just turned the ball into chakra for a split second and the wind carried it to the seal."

Naruto pocketed the metal ball and toy into his jacket. "I got to go show Obaa-chan."

--

Tsunade stood over the exhausted Naruto. As she tore off his jacket she noticed the strange lump flatten as an empty toy and ball fell out. "Teh, he really did it. He performed a mini-Hiraishin."

Jiraiya grinned as he picked up the ball. "He's so much like his father it's surprising. But the ball was only half an inch; he has a long way to go before he can perform such tricks."

Tsunade sighed. "You're right and you know what else."

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow. "Hmm…"

Tsunade chuckled. "Hokage can't be a loser's dream because he won the bet."

Jiraiya grins. "So does that mean…?"

Tsunade nodded. "I'll tell him when he wakes up."

--

Tsunade smiled at Naruto. "Well it seems you won the bet." She said, removing her necklace and handing it to Naruto.

Naruto grinned. "Thanks, it's a shame that this lucky thing still can't keep you from losing Obaa-chan."

Tsunade eye twitched as she slugged him across the room. She quickly stormed up to him with a threatening look that made him flinch but she bent down and kissed his forehead. "And that's for proving me wrong. Come let's go back to Konoha."

Naruto smiled. "Right."

--

Tsunade smiled at the 5 newly selected chuunin. "Nara Shikamaru." She said as his father handed him the chuunin vest. "You have been deemed worthy of the title and rank of Chuunin of Konoha no Sato due to your courage and brains shown in the chuunin exams and invasion of Konoha against the sound jounin"

Shikamaru bowed his head, dawning the vest. "Thank you Hokage-sama."

Tsunade turned to Shino. "Aburame Shino" Shino's father hands the vest to the bug user. "You have been deemed worthy of the title and rank of Chuunin of Konoha no Sato due to your exceptional skills demonstrated in the chuunin exams and the invasion of Konoha against Kankuro of Suna."

Shino bowed his head, taking the jacket with a quiet "Thank you" as he dawned the vest.

Tsunade turned a smile to Sasuke. "Uchiha Sasuke" Kakashi handed the vest to Sasuke as a substitute for his parent. "You have been deemed worthy of the title and rank of Chuunin of Konoha no Sato due to the skill and prowess shown in the chuunin exams and invasion of Konoha against the Sabaku team as well as the A class war mission."

Sasuke bowed his headm taking the jacket with a quiet "Thank you." He dawned the vest with his face still in a scowl. "I could be training, not doing stupid awards' ceremonies." He told himself.

Tsunade turned to Sakura who shifted, slightly uncomfortable. "Haruno Sakura" Sakura's mother presented her with the chuunin vest, despite the lingering dispute between the two Harunos. "You have been deemed worthy of the title and rank of Chuunin of Konoha no Sato due to the skill and prowess shown in the chuunin exams and invasion of Konoha against the jounin forces of Suna and Oto, as well as the A class war time mission."

Sakura bowed her head, taking the jacket with a strong "Thank you." She dawned the jacket with a large smile and she was presented by Tsunade a red cloth strip.

"You have also been giving the subtitle of Medical Chuunin. Wear this red band with your hitai-ate proudly Haruno Sakura." She said, handing the red strip over.

"Thank you Hokage-sama." Sakura said with another bow as she untied her head band and replaced the blue with the red before retying it.

Tsunade turned to the last promotion with a smile. "Uzumaki Naruto." She said, smiling as she handed him the jacket in place of his real parents. "You have been deemed worthy of the title and rank of Chuunin of Konoha no Sato due to the skill and prowess shown in the chuunin exams and invasion of Konoha against the Jounin forces of Suna and Oto as well as the A class war time mission against Sabaku no Gaara and his team."

Tsunade turns her attention to the three foxes as she picks up three small animal headbands. "Uchiha Sepro, Haruno Juno, Uzumaki Naka, as thanks for your bravery and loyalty shown to Konoha no Sato during the invasion we present to you the headbands of Konoha's animal core." She handed the headbands to Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke permitting them to tie them onto the foxes.

Tsunade bows to the crowd. "This concludes the chuunin promotions ceremony. Let the party begin!" The mixed crowd of shinobi and villagers gave a roar as the party kicked to a start.

Naruto rubbed Naka's head, the headband around his neck. "Well done buddy."

Naka nods. "Thank you Naruto-sama."

Sakura scratches behind Juno's ear, the headband tied around her neck "You did great, you definitely earned this. You kept the death toll from climbing higher than it is. You saved many who would have died."

Juno nods. "Thank you Sakura-sama."

Sasuke eyes Sepro, petting him gently. "Nice work. Let's go train some more." Sasuke said, hoping he could use Sepro as an excuse to skip the party.

Sepro nodded his head. "Hai, as you wish Sasuke-sama."

Before Sasuke could escape however, Kakashi rubbed his head. "You can go in a minute Sasuke. Let's get a team picture. We don't have everyone as chuunins."

Sasuke nodded as he walked with his two chuunin teammates.

--

"3"

"2"

"1"

"CHUUNIN." Said the photographer as he snapped the picture of Kakashi standing behind his team messing with Naruto and Sasuke's hair while Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke knelt down, messing with their foxes.

With the picture taken Kakashi let Sasuke escape with two copies, one for himself and one for Sepro.

"Naruto-sama, Juno-chan wants to go for a walk around the village." Naka said with a blush.

Since it was the first time the foxes were allowed to roam freely Naruto nodded his head. "Sakura, do you have any problem with that?"

Sakura shook her head. "Nope have fun. It's not just our party, but yours as well." She said, letting Juno escape her grasp and leap to the grass.

Naruto smiled as he pulled Sakura over to the rest of the Rookie nine to enjoy the party.

--

Sakura groaned as she held her head, the sun blinding her soft jade eyes. "Ugh," She said as she shifted slightly, wiping the drool off her mouth on the pillow until she felt that everything was out of place, The pillow was moving. It was black, not white. And half of her was naked on the cold ground. Her hand twitched slightly only to noticed that both were gripping something very hard.

Very cautiously Sakura pulled her head back. Her jade eyes resting on the peaceful yet smiling expression of a newly promoted blonde chuunin. She didn't begin to freak out until she saw her hands, or to be more precise where her hands were. Her left was under his black shirt spread out over his six pack, while the other was gripping his still hard member.

That wasn't too bad until he stirred, bringing realization to exactly where his hands where. One was under her shirt cupping her left breast while another already had a finger inside her womanhood. "What the fuck did we do? Or what the fuck were we going to do?" She asked herself, holding back a shriek and a smack with willpower that weakened the moment his eyes opened.

"Ugh...Sakura-chan. What are you doing in my bed?" He asked until suddenly his senses came around. Blushing madly he retracted his hands from Sakura's clothing and womanhood.

"Umm...sorry Sakura...I guess we both got too drunk." He said, turning his head away. "Umm...you can let go now." He said with an even bigger blush.

It wasn't for a few seconds until Sakura eyes widen as she figured out what he meant. She had forgotten to remove her hands because she was so freaked out. Quickly pulling her hands away she turned her back to him.

"Umm...I'm going to go home and umm…take a shower. See you this afternoon Naruto."

Naruto nodded. "Hai, see you this afternoon." Naruto said, disappearing in a puff of smoke.

Sakura however just kept staring at her hand, white stuff still present on it. "What the fuck did we do?"

"Mmm, Naruto-kun sure knows how to work those fingers of his." Inner Sakura purred out, still on a high from the night before.

"WHAT THE FUCK DID HE DO?" Sakura yelled to her innerself.

"Pish, you did it too. Oh you have to taste it, it's so good."

"What? No, no way in hel!." Sakura roared at her innerself.

"You so know you want to. Just one lick, no one's around to see so taste it."

"NO!"

"Come on, you've been dying to find out what a man tastes like ever since you glanced at Kakashi-sensei books."

"But it's Naruto's."

"So?"

"What the hell happened to Sasuke-kun? What the hell happened last night?"

"Meh, maybe I'll tell you what happened last night if you taste it."

"Fine, but you better tell me...I can't believe I'm actually considering this or even doing it." Sakura said, popping her finger into her mouth and swirling her tongue around it. The substance tasted sweet, yet salty and a little bit tangy. It wasn't bad, in fact she couldn't believe it but she slid another finger into her mouth to get more of the taste. "Wow...it's not bad. I've never tasted anything like this before."

"Shannaro! I told you, heheheheh, Naruto-kun tastes good."

"Please tell me we didn't fuck him."

"No, he stopped you after you gave him a blowjob."

"I WHAT!" She shouted out loud. As a breeze struck her legs she quickly grabbed her panties and black shorts and leapt into the bush. "I can't fucking believe this." Sakura said as she readjusted her clothes and left.

--

Naruto however was sitting on a distant tree branch. "Fox, what the hell? I though you said I couldn't get drunk."

"Hee,Hee,Hee. You were so close to fucking that pretty pink haired slut."

"YOU TAKE THAT BACK! SHE IS NOT A SLUT!" Naruto shouted in his head.

"She's all over your fingers" Kyuubi pointed out, slipping in his control as he brought Naruto's hand to his mouth. "You can taste her can't you? The sweet nectar."

Naruto quickly gained control before Kyuubi could get more than a lick "Perverted fucking fox! Go AWAY!"

"Okay, but let me remind you who was jumping who last night." Kyuubi said as he refreshed Naruto's memory of after the party.

--

Somehow, Naruto didn't know why, who, or how, but he was certain by the way Lee was destroying everything in sight that someone had spiked the punch. Wanting to make sure Sakura wasn't passed out and being taken advantage of he stumbled his way around, eventually finding the pink kunoichi leaning against the wall, her face flushed from the sake.

"Err hiya Na-ru -Hic- to-kun." She said slumping on his shoulders for support.

Yep, she was definitely wasted and he wasn't faring too well himself. "Hiya Sakura-chan let's get you -Hic- home before you get into trouble." He said while wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Don't worry Naruto-kun. -Hic- Only you are allowed to -Hic- touch me." She said seductively, moving closer to Naruto's side. The close distance and stumbling of either of them didn't help as they passed through the park.

"Naruto-kun -Hic- I need to tell you -Hic- something." Sakura said as she pulled herself against the tree, taking Naruto with her.

"What is it -Hic- Sakura-chan?" Naruto said, resting his forehead on hers.

"I think I'm -Hic- falling for you." She said in a seductive tone.

Naruto smiled slightly. "That's nice Sakura-chan. It -Hic- makes me happy."

Sakura pulled Naruto to the ground. "-Hic- I know what will make you even happier." She said, gripping his crotch.

"Uhh, Sakura-chan -Hic- I don't think we should. You're drunk." Naruto slurred out.

Sakura gave him a warm smile. "But it makes me happy. -Hic- Don't you want me happy?" She asked with a small frown.

Naruto nodded his head, unbuttoning his pants for her as she turned herself around, her ass near Naruto's face as she pushed his pants and boxers down. "Damn, your big Naruto-kun. -Hic- Never seen one this big. I bet it tastes -Hic- great." She said, sloppily gripping his member as she nearly fell over while trying to lean in. Finally she managed to get her tongue to his shaft and gave him a long lick. "You taste amazing-Hic-"

After a few licks and a few moans from Naruto she shook her hips. "Taste-Hic- me. -Hic- Do I taste good?"

Naruto blinked at her ass. He could see the wet spot forming over her pussy. "-Hic- But…"

Sakura cut him off as she sat on his mouth. "Please Naruto-kun."

Naruto nodded his head as she stood up, nearly falling over as she pulled down her shorts and panties.

Naruto grinned as she repositioned herself. "-Hey, you are a natural pink -Hic-" He said before his tongue slowly licked over the small pink patch of hair above her pussy. Leisurely he let his tongue lick the folds of her pussy. "You taste great Sakura-chan." He said as he stuck his tongue in deeper, making Sakura moan.

"Mmm-hic-mm don't stop." She said as she slid more of his cock into her mouth, swirling her tongue around its shaft a few times. Suddenly she fell from the shiver of a moan, forcing all 10 inches inside her mouth until she pulled off for air.

Naruto let a moan escape into her pussy every time she would go all the way down until he felt like he couldn't hold it anymore. "Sakura-chan -Hic- going to cum."

His words only drove her to bob her head faster up and down on his pole as it throbbed inside her mouth. "I'm cumming -hic- Sakura-chan!" Naruto shouted, trying to give her some warning but she just kept sucking and deep-throating him until he released into her mouth.

Sakura swallowed as best she could before pulling her mouth off his stiffened member. Abruptly she felt a shutter engulf her. "Naruto-kun -Hic- cumming!" She moaned out, arching her back as Naruto buried his face into her pussy. Her walls enclosed around his tongue as she convulsed, her climax releasing a flood of fluid into his mouth.

Naruto licked up each drop of cum before licking the pussy clean like a fox, earning a shiver of pleasure from Sakura. His hand released her hips, letting her crawl back up to his chest and plant a deep kiss on his lips, wrestling her tongue with his.

Sakura pulled away with a smile. "-Fuck me -Hic Naruto-kun! I -Hic want you inside me!" She slurred out as her eyes grew heavier. She was on the verge of passing out as she wrapped her hands around his dick and started stroking him. "I want this. Make me feel good, -Hic- like a woman." She slurred out while stroking it.

Naruto slipped a finger in her pussy and fondled her breast, quickly distracting her thoughts as she stroked him off.

Sakura gave Naruto another sloppy kiss as she released on his fingers. "-Hic- I said -hic- I want this" She said, giving his member another hard tug and sending him over the edge.

Naruto brought her down to his chest, pinning her in his hug. "Not while -Hic- we are drunk. Anytime -hic- but then." He said, passing out with Sakura.

(AN: Well, To explian why Shino got premoted along with Sakura since nether of them fought in the main tornament was because they both where awake durning the invasion and fought the enemy. I believe that Shino should be promoted due to his fight against Kankuro. Sakura got promoted because of her skill but also because she would have been the only one in team 7 not promoted lol So basically those that where awake and fought got promoted to Chuunin.

Yes Konoha has an animal core, If you notice nearly every summon they've shown except for the Sannin summons have head bands. Pakkun, Gai Turtle, Kiba's faimly wolves's and dogs with the exception of Akamaru.

Oh, Hirashin, Yes... It was learned threw a cat toy. I've read so many that deal with it being used with high speed moves and chakra seals and I was like... WTF that doesn't make to much sense, Yondaime was a genious and a seal master if you put two and two together along with thinking about the jutsu and the sealed kunai, You get he must have performed a transfer with the seals stored up chakra. Kaiwami in basic theory... Plus I wanted to be original I was tierd of seeing the gravites, ungodly strenght, and requirement of a bloodline.

However the jutsu will require large amounts of chakra, very large amounts with excellent control thus why you see no Jounin using the technique. Naruto had been training with thousands of clones on his chakra control for years and he's bearly got enough to control to perform it for a small ball. That is a example of how much control a person would need to transfer their body successfully.

Lol Yes, I made a mini lemon for you guys alittle screwed up at first... But I'm to lazy to go back and change it.

Major News: My computer will have to go in for repairs soon, I'm having issues with my onboard video for my laptop and I don't wish to break the warrentee on it, So if you notice a long string of missing updates then that means it's in repair I'm hoping it won't be till the end of classes but I don't know how much longer I can keep it up. But once it goes in it will probably be a good two weeks before I can update again.

Next Chapter: Hangover

Pakkun: Yo, Next chapter... Hmmm what can be said... Lots of akward silence between the little ones... Kakashi-sama... I feel sorry for him.
