I do not own Naruto or any of it's characters.

It's been three months since Sasuke escaped the village and Tayuya was brought back by Naruto and it's been challenging to say the least. Tayuya was a handful for everybody and even Naruto at times, but he eventually learned to ignore her. The first two weeks were the worst since she couldn't walk and Naruto had to become her personal assistant. Of course there were people who didn't approve of her being in the village, but Naruto simply told them that they'd have to go through him and they backed off.

Tsunade came around whenever she could to help Naruto with Tayuya and even teased Tayuya a bit whenever she caught her looking at Naruto longer than she should have. Jiraiya found out about Tayuya staying at Naruto's house and being the pervert that he was, he tried to get Naruto peek on her and he declined the offer. Coincidentally, Tayuya walked in on Naruto taking a shower 2 days later and passed out due to severe blood loss. Tsunade of course found out and teased Tayuya even more.

The highlight of Tayuya staying in Konoha so far was the day she got her curse mark removed. Of course Anko had hers removed first, but Tayuya was the highlight of the day. They managed to remove it and were shocked that during the unsealing process, another Orochimaru started to form. Naruto quickly used his ability from his hishigan to disable the Orochimaru clone and Jiraiya cut his head off. Once the curse mark was removed, Tayuya went into shock and Tsunade had to stabilize her before she had a heart attack and died.

When Tayuya woke up two days later, she felt light and felt like a new person. When she asked what happened, Naruto explained to her everything that happened and how her body went into shock after the curse seal was removed. She felt exhausted still and Naruto told her that the removal of the curse mark drained her of her chakra reserves and they haven't fully recovered yet. The next thing Tayuya did was look at her shoulder in a mirror and started to cry since the curse mark was gone. She gave Naruto a hug and kissed him on the cheek as she thanked him over and over again, but she stopped when she realized what she was doing and had a huge blush on her face.

Once the others found out about Tayuya living with Naruto their reactions were all different. Shikamaru was wary of her because she was an enemy. Kiba was automatically against her living there. Rock Lee, TenTen and Neji kept to themselves especially Neji since he decided to give her a second chance since he's turned over a new leaf since his defeat during the chunin exams. Shino was his usual self. Hinata was worried that she'd never get to be with Naruto and silently fumed over Tayuya since she was very pretty and saw how Naruto smiled at Tayuya when they would talk to each other.

Sakura and Ino however were a completely different story. Sakura was openly against it and tried to break into Naruto's apartment while he was on a mission. Tayuya was still weak from the curse seal removal so she couldn't do much, but Naruto thought ahead and placed security seals around the apartment to protect her. She didn't tell him, but she was really thankful for that. Sakura tried on multiple occasions to get into his apartment, but each time was met with failure. Ino tried to use her clans jutsu to manipulate Tayuya and have her thrown out of Konoha, but Tayuya was a strong willed person and Ino always failed. Tayuya decided to report them to Tsunade since she was still on probation at the time and they were both suspended for six months.

The only problem Tayuya had was her feelings for Naruto that would grow everyday. He cooked for her, cleaned for her and until he was able to get a bed for her, he let her have his room while he slept on the couch. He brought out the nice side of her that she had buried deep inside of her long ago and she would blush whenever he was too close to her. He even started to teach her how to cook since she didn't know how and she was grateful since he was back on mission 2 weeks after she arrived.

Over the past three months Naruto trained with Jiraiya and Tsunade for different reasons. Jiraiya trained him for two weeks using the nine tails chakra and Tsunade helped him with kekkei genkai. Tsunade also assisted them in training with the nine tails chakra since she was able to subdue him when he lost control. The training was brutal on Naruto who had to constantly draw on the nine tails chakra. At first things were going good until Naruto drew on too much of the nine tails chakra and grew three tails. He went on a rampage, but Tsunade and Jiraiya were able to easily handle him in order to subdue him. Jiraiya started to call that the nine tails cloak since Naruto would be covered in a cloak of nine tails chakra that would take the shape of a fox.

After those two weeks were up, Tsunade began teaching him how to properly combine his water and wind chakra to control his ice kekkei genkai. He knew some jutsu for his kekkei genkai, but it wasn't much. He managed to learn the Ice Style: Crystal Wall jutsu, Ice style: Certain-Kill Ice Spears, Ice Style: Glacial Dome and Ice-Breaking Fist.

When Tayuya was cleared to become a shinobi and cleared to start training again, Tayuya was given the rank of special genin since Tsunade couldn't just give her the chunin rank right off the bat. That meant Tayuya had to do the D-rank missions, but that quickly stopped when people tried to attack her for being around Naruto and she put them in a coma. After 5 incidents like that, Tsunade paired Tayuya up with Naruto and started to send her out on C-rank missions.

Right now Naruto and Tayuya were in the middle of one of their C-rank missions. It was another bandit camp elimination that went around terrorizing small towns in the land of fire. These weren't regular bandits as Naruto could tell they had some kind of ninja training. Naruto easily defeated all of his opponents and now he was watching Tayuya struggle with the last one. He knew her weakness was close combat, but he didn't think it was this bad. He tried to get her to learn some taijutsu, but she simply refused. She was open to learning some genjutsu of course, but Kurenai was always out on missions with her team and she was the best genjutsu user in Konoha. She finally defeated the last bandit and Naruto started clapping.

"Nice job. It only took you 15 minutes to defeat him." Naruto said

"Shut the fuck up. Let's deal with the others." Tayuya said

"You weren't paying attention. They're already defeated." Naruto said and pointed at the bodies

"Are they dead?" Tayuya asked

"No. Most of them have bounties and I want to collect them." Naruto said

"Then where can we collect the money?" Tayuya said

"We?" Naruto asked

"Don't pull that shit with me. I helped!" Tayuya said

"You took out one person and I handled the rest. I highly doubt that counts as helping." Naruto said

"I'm still a genin. I need all the money I can get." Tayuya said

"Here's the deal. I'll split the money with you, but you have to cook me some ramen when we get back home." Naruto said

"You're going to get fat from eating too much of that shit." Tayuya said

"Still doesn't stop you from eating it or watching me train." Naruto said

"I do not!" Tayuya said

"I'm a sensor, remember?" Naruto asked and Tayuya blushed

"Shut up. Let's just go." Tayuya said

"Stupid blonde pretty boy." Tayuya thought

"Yo, Naruto." Gamakichi said, as he appeared

"Gamakichi? What are you doing here?" Naruto asked

"Jiraiya said to come back to the village quickly. He says he has a mission." Gamakichi said

"Alright." Naruto said and Gamakichi left

"Back to the leaf village I guess." Tayuya said and sighed

"What's with the sigh? I thought you'd be happy to go back home." Naruto said

"Don't worry about it. Let's just go." Tayuya said

"Hey, what's wrong?" Naruto asked

"Nothing. I'm just tired." Tayuya said

"Alright." Naruto said

After Naruto finished sealing all of the bodies away into a stasis scroll, they immediately left back to the leaf village with Tayuya moving faster than Naruto. Naruto didn't understand why she was acting weird all of a sudden, but he decided to leave her alone for now since he didn't want to get yelled at. Tayuya was fuming inside. She was out of the village and spending time with Naruto with no one interrupting them, but as soon as Jiraiya mentions a mission, Naruto completely forgets what they had to do and decides to head back to Konoha. They traveled all the way back to Konoha in silence and Naruto decided he would talk to Tsunade about Tayuya.

Hokage office

"Mission complete, granny Tsunade." Naruto said

"Did everything go smoothly?" Tsunade asked

"Yup. Me and Tayuya easily handled them." Naruto said

"That's good. Oh and Jiraiya was looking for you." Tsunade said

"I know. Gamakichi came and told me." Naruto said

"Good. Tayuya, is everything alright?" Tsunade asked

"Yeah. I'm fine. I'm just tired." Tayuya said

"Alright. You're both dismissed." Tsunade said and Tayuya left, but Naruto stayed behind

"Granny Tsunade, can I ask you something?" Naruto asked

"Let me guess. It's about Tayuya." Tsunade said

"How'd you know?" Naruto asked

"I just know. Now, what is it?" Tsunade asked

"She's being distant and didn't talk to me on our way back. I don't know if I did something wrong or not." Naruto said

"He still doesn't understand what's going on." Tsunade thought

"Well what happened on the mission?" Tsunade asked

"The usual. We got there of course joking around, but still serious. Then we took out the bandits and since some of them had bounty's on their heads, we were gonna cash in for the bounty, but Pervy-Sage sent Gamakichi to tell me about our mission. I decided to come back here to get started on the mission." Naruto said

"I'll be blunt. Tayuya was looking forward to spending more time with you. You're the person she's closest with in this village." Tsunade said

"But we were just on a mission for two days. We already spent time together." Naruto said and Tsunade sighed

"Naruto, Tayuya likes you." Tsunade said

"I like her too. She's a good friend." Naruto said

"No. She likes you like a boyfriend." Tsunade said

"Well, how was I supposed to know? She didn't tell me." Naruto said

"Of course she didn't. Tayuya doesn't seem like the type to just spill her feelings towards you. Do you like her as well?" Tsunade asked

"I just said yeah." Naruto said

"No. I mean as in a romantic type of way." Tsunade said

"I don't know. Maybe. It's not like she's given me any clues or anything that pointed to her liking me." Naruto said

"How about this? Take her out when you return from the mission with Jiraiya. If I'm not mistaken, there's going to be a festival about a day after you return. Take Tayuya out on a date and see how it goes." Tsunade said

"I guess you're right, but there's a problem with that festival." Naruto said

"What's that?" Tsunade asked

"The festival coming up is the nine tails festival and I never go to those." Naruto said

"Dammit that is right." Tsunade said

"I guess I'll go this year for Tayuya and to see how I feel, but I can't make any promises that I won't fight anybody that attacks me." Naruto said

"Just try to have a good time." Tsunade said

"I'll try." Naruto said

"You're gonna be 14 and I feel like I barely spent anytime with you outside of training." Tsunade said

"Don't worry. When I get back from my trip with Pervy-Sage we can spend time together. Have a mother and son kind of day." Naruto said

"Mother?" Tsunade asked

"I mean, you do treat me like a son and you are my godmother. Since we've officially met you've shown me the love and care an actual mother would. I know I call you granny Tsunade, but I think of you as my mom." Naruto said and Tsunade smiled before giving him a hug

"I'll make sure to clear a day for when you get back." Tsunade said and they broke the hug

"There's just one thing bothering me." Naruto said

"What is it?" Tsunade asked

"I'll be leaving in a month or two with Pervy-Sage for my training trip. Does it make sense to start a relationship when I'm about to leave in two months?" Naruto asked

"You have a point. Just spend time with her to see how it goes. After that before you leave see where you two stand. Does she know you're leaving?" Tsunade asked

"No. Me and Pervy-Sage figured it was best that only you and the elders know. Well, not Danzo, but the other two." Naruto said and sat down on the couch in her office

"You know if she sees you leaving she'll ask to come with you or try to kill you, right?" Tsunade asked

"I know. Was it this bad when you fell for Pervy-Sage?" Naruto asked

"No. Actually the roles were reversed on our end. Jiraiya always loved me, but I was never sure or I would deny it. I didn't accept my feelings for him until I was gone from the village and didn't see him. You have a chance at love and if I were you, I'd take it before it's too late." Tsunade said

"We'll see what happens. I'll see you later. It's time for me to meet Pervy-Sage. Do you know what rank this mission is?" Naruto asked

"You have to ask him." Tsunade said

"Alright." Naruto said and vanished

Hot springs

"Pervy-Sage, you should really find a better hobby." Naruto said, as he arrived at the hot springs

"Why? This is the greatest hobby ever." Jiraiya said and started to giggle

"Whatever. Gamakichi told me you had a mission for us." Naruto said

"It's not really a mission for me, but it is for you. You remember Koyuki Kazahana, right?" Jiraiya asked

"Yeah. I had a mission 2 months ago to protect her and wound up killing her uncle after he tried to take over the land of snow. She even took a picture with me and gave me a kiss on the cheek." Naruto said

"Good. I've been trying to get her to be the lead actress in my book that was picked up for a movie and she agreed to sign the contract, but on one condition." Jiraiya said

"I'm sure it involves me." Naruto said

"It does. While we're filming she wants you to be her bodyguard. There's been another assassination attempt on her life and she thinks it's somebody who worked for her uncle. They use that same chakra armor and her guards don't stand a chance against it. If you find the person who's doing it, then take them out. This is an S-rank mission." Jiraiya said

"So, when do we leave?" Naruto asked

"She's sending an aircraft to meet us near the valley of end. We should leave now and we'd get there by the time the aircraft arrives." Jiraiya said

"How long will we be gone?" Naruto asked

"About a month and a half. Since our trip was delayed due to Tsunade wanting to give you some field experience, we'll be leaving the day after your birthday." Jiraiya said

"It's still for 2 and a half years, right?" Naruto asked

"Yeah. Maybe with us delaying our departure, the akatsuki will delay their plans as well. Now, let's get going. The airship will be here soon." Jiraiya said and they vanished

Land of snow

After going to the valley of end and getting on the airship, Naruto and Jiraiya finally made it to the land of snow. Koyuki wasn't with them since she was stuck in a meeting, but she personally invited them to her home. Naruto looked around a bit and noticed everyone was happier now since Dato was dead and Koyuki took over. They were being personally escorted to Koyuki even though they didn't need it.

Another thing that Naruto and Jiraiya learned was that Naruto had a huge following over in the land of snow. In other words, Naruto has fangirls and they nearly got to him a few times. Now, he had to walk around with a henge on so nobody would see him. He saw Jiraiya was for once being serious, but he knew it was only a matter of time before he did something perverted and he hoped it didn't involve Koyuki.

"We're here. Lady Koyuki is just beyond these doors." A guard said and they entered the room

"Naruto! It's so good to see you again!" Koyuki said and she gave him a huge hug squishing his head between her breasts

"Lucky brat." Jiraiya thought

"It's good to see you as well Koyuki. Oh and this is Jiraiya, but I like to call him Pervy-Sage." Naruto said and Jiraiya punched him on the head

"Stop calling me that!" Jiraya said and Koyuki giggled

"Nice to officially meet you, Lord Jiraiya." Koyuki said and bowed

"Pleasure is all mine." Jiraiya said and had a certain look on his face

"Hey, Pervy-Sage! Stop looking at her like she's a girl at the brothel house!" Naruto said

"Shut up!" Jiraiya said

"Stop being a perv and I will!" Naruto said and this caused a glaring contest between the two

"Still haven't changed, Naruto. Although, Lord Jiraiya. I must warn you that your antics are strictly forbidden in my country. I have no problem placing you under arrest and nullifying the treaty between our villages." Koyuki said and Jiraiya was nearly heartbroken

"Almost 2 months with no peeking. How will I ever survive?" Jiraiya thought

"I can tell you right now that you were the first person he'd try to spy on." Naruto said

"I know. That is why I will be staying in a secret location guarded by you, Naruto." Koyuki said

"What about food?" Naruto asked and Koyuki sighed

"I have the best chefs we have cooking you ramen as we speak. Now, shall we get onto business?" Koyuki asked and Jiraiya spoke up

"I'm excited and happy that you've accepted the contract. I honestly didn't think that you would." Jiraiya said

"Well, this was the first role I was offered since I took over. Now, I have one thing I would like to change up." Koyuki said

"What would that be?" Jiraiya asked

"I wish to use a stunt double for the sex scenes. Your movie has actual sex and I'm not comfortable being naked on camera or in front of people. Naruto's the exception since he's already seen me like that." Koyuki said and Jiraiya was jealous of Naruto right now

"We don't have enough time to find a stunt double. That and your looks are unique." Jiraiya said

"That is all I want. I will do the movie, but not the porno scenes. Isn't there some kind of way to find somebody in a week?" Koyuki asked

"I'm afraid not." Jiraiya said

"You two can't be serious. The solution is so simple. Just grab a female that is legal and see if she's willing to do the scene. All you need her to do is use the transformation jutsu and boom everybody wins." Naruto said

"There's just one problem. We don't have anybody with that kind of training." Jiraiya said

"I can get somebody." Naruto said

"How? We're all the way in the land of snow." Jiraiya said

"Gamakichi can do it for me. He knows how to grab somebody and bring them with him. Of course he'd be tired after it, but he can do it." Naruto said

"How old is she?" Jiraiya asked

"24. She always wanted to be an actor in these kinds of movies. She works at the brothel house, so she'd be perfect for this." Naruto said

"How does she have ninja training?" Jiraiya asked

"She said her grandfather taught her when she was younger, but she never wanted to be a ninja. She always wanted to be in a movie. Actually, all of the brothel house women know how to defend themselves. I wonder if she taught them." Naruto said

"Will she be able to look just like me?" Koyuki asked

"Absolutely. Only thing that she needs is what your body looks like." Naruto said

"I'm sure she can just imagine that." Koyuki said

"I guess." Naruto said and summoned Gamakichi

"Yo! What's up?" Gamakichi asked

"Kichi, I need you to go back to Konoha and grab Sekkusu from my apartment building. She lives in 202." Naruto said

"Awww! Doing that makes me tired." Gamakichi said

"You can have this entire bag of sweets if you do it." Naruto said and unsealed a medium sized bag

"Then again, you are my favorite summoner. I'll be back." Gamakichi said and left

"That's how you get him to do stuff for you?" Jiraiya asked

"Yup. It's even worse with Gamatatsu." Naruto said and then a puff of smoke appeared

"I'm back. Give me the treats." Gamakichi said

"Well that was faster than I expected. Must be because of the treats." Naruto thought and gave him the bag

"See ya!" Gamakichi said and left

"Naruto, what am I doing here?" Sekkusu asked

Sekkusu is a beautiful woman to everyone that has ever laid eyes on her. She has tan skin, long flowing black hair that stops at her waist and green eyes. Jiraiya however, was drawn to her chest. Her breasts were nearly the size of Tsunade's and she had a nice figure to add to her beauty.

"They're 92 centimeters, Pervy-Sage. Stop staring at her." Naruto said

"You remembered!" Sekkusu said and gave Naruto a big hug

"I had no choice. When you were sick I went to do your shopping. 92, 60 and 87 were your measurements. After I had the talk with Anko, I put two and two together." Naruto said

"He knows all of this and yet he constantly gets on me for being a pervert." Jiraiya thought

"Naruto, why am I here?" Sekkusu asked

"You're here to be a stunt double for the movie Pervy-Sage is doing." Naruto said

"Who am I the stunt double for?" Sekkusu asked

"That would be me." Koyuki said and Sekkusu gasped

"No fucking way! I get to be your stunt double?!" Sekkusu asked

"That is correct. I don't want to get naked in front of the camera. I don't feel comfortable being naked on camera or in front of people." Koyuki said

"Naruto saw you naked." Jiraiya said

"Shut it, Pervy-Sage!" Naruto said

"DON'T CALL ME THAT." Jiraiya yelled and everyone ignored him

"Your breasts are too big to be mine. You're a what, H cup? I'm only a double D." Koyuki said

"It's fine. People know there are stunt doubles who do this kind of thing and mess up the body size, but in this case I don't think they would mind. All she really has to do is have your face correct and skin color." Jiraiya said

"I can do that." Sekkusu said and transformed into Koyuki except with her body type

"Perfect." Jiraiya said

"Can you mimic my voice?" Koyuki asked

"Of course I can." Sekkusu said and sounded just like Koyuki

"Great. Sekkusu, come with me and we'll talk about your pay with the director." Jiraiya said

"You try anything and I'll cut your dick off." Sekkusu said and Jiraiya paled, but nodded

"You got it. Naruto, you know what to do." Jiraya said and left with Sekkusu

"You know the other reason I want you here, right?" Koyuki asked

"Yes, but why now when you're about to shoot a movie? Why not ask before?" Naruto asked

"Because I can use this as cover. Whoever is attacking me won't know you're here. I gave all of my closest guards the next month and a half off. I know you walked around with a henge on, so they don't know you're here." Koyuki said

"Do you have any suspicions on who it might be?" Naruto asked

"Yeah. I think it's my personal guard." Koyuki said

"Why would Sadai want you dead?" Naruto asked

"Because he wants that chakra armor mass produced, but I reject his proposals every time. He thinks we should conquer the surrounding territory, but I want a peaceful country." Koyuki said

"Does he have any skills?" Naruto asked

"He can fire type jutsu. That's all I know. He thinks the chakra armor can make a ninjutsu specialist invincible." Koyuki said

"Do you know if he has some?" Naruto asked

"I don't know. It's possible. I was in a meeting earlier and we were talking about ships coming in overnight delivering something, but nobody knew anything. I'm suspicious of Sadai since he's more distant towards me lately." Koyuki said

"I see. After this, you should really consider getting a better assistant." Naruto said

"I don't think I'll find another assistant like Sandayu. Sadai was good when he first started, but now it's like I'm handling everything on my own." Koyuki said

"I know somebody that can help." Naruto said

"Is this another brothel house girl?" Koyuki asked

"Yes and no." Naruto said

"Explain please." Koyuki said

"She works there, but as the receptionist. She organizes everything like appointments, personal visits and even handles the money. It's the only job she could find to help provide for her, but I'm sure if a certain movie star and leader of a certain country needed an assistant, I'm sure she'd move here." Naruto said

"How old is she?" Koyuki asked

"21." Naruto said

"The airship that will take you back, I want her on it. Send her a letter." Koyuki said

"I will. Now, where are we headed?" Naruto asked

"Well, I want your help with something." Koyuki said

"What would that be?" Naruto asked

"Teach me some of your fancy ninja moves." Koyuki said

"I tried last time. What made you change your mind?" Naruto asked

"Last time you asked me was right after you killed my uncle and then we had Sandayu's funeral." Koyuki said

"True. Now, what would you like to learn?" Naruto asked

"Everything." Koyuki said

"Fine. Do you have access to your chakra yet?" Naruto asked

"Yeah." Koyuki said

"Channel some chakra then. Use the tiger seal and gather as much chakra as you can." Naruto said and showed her the tiger hand sign

"Okay." Koyuki said and after a few tries she finally released some chakra

"She must've been using chakra throughout her life without even realizing it. She has jonin level reserves. Now comes the fun part, chakra control training." Naruto thought

"Alright. You can stop now." Naruto said

"How was that?" Koyuki asked

"That's good. You have as much chakra as a jounin would. Now, comes the part of you learning to control your chakra." Naruto said

"What's first?" Koyuki asked

"Tree walking, but I'll have you do it on the walls. This involves channeling a fixed amount of chakra to the bottom of your feet and using that to climb the wall without your hands. Too little chakra and you'll. Too much chakra and you'll be pushed off the wall and fall. What I want you to do is try and get to the ceiling since this is a pretty big room." Naruto said

"Sounds easy enough." Koyuki said

"If you say so." Naruto said

"How long should it take me to get this down?" Koyuki asked

"It really depends on your ability to control your chakra really. It took me a few days to learn this, but my chakra is difficult to control because I have so much of it. If you have a natural talent at controlling your chakra, I'd give you a few hours a day." Naruto said

"Then let's get started." Koyuki said

2 weeks later

Naruto and Koyuki were currently in a spar which was something they've been doing during her free time. In the past two week, Koyuki has mastered tree walking and water walking. Naruto also taught her the shadow clone jutsu and since Koyuki was able to make 5 shadow clones. While they would spar, Naruto would have her make 4 shadow clones and teach them some water ninjutsu since that was one of her chakra natures with the other being lightning.

"Alright. That's enough for today." Naruto said and Koyuki collapsed to the ground

"Why are you training me so hard?" Koyuki asked

"Trust me. This isn't hard. Anyway, I only have a month left to help you train and I want to get as much done as possible." Naruto said

"At Least my schedule for the movie isn't that bad." Koyuki said

"That's true. Now, release your shadow clones and see if they finished those jutsu yet." Naruto said and Koyuki nodded then released her shadow clones

"Finally!" Koyuki said

"Show me." Naruto said

Water style: ripping torrent

Koyuki created a spiral of water in her hand and then fired it towards Naruto who countered with his own ripping torrent.

Water style: water shuriken

Koyuki created some shuriken from water and threw them at Naruto who was wondering why she's using him for target practice.

Water style: severing wave

Koyuki spit out a high pressure stream of water at Naruto who barely got out of the way and saw that her jutsu cut clean through the wall where they were training at.

Water style: water tornado

Koyuki created a vortex of water that was acting like a barrier and when she was about to send it to Naruto, one look from him made her change her mind.

"Okay. You learned all four jutsus and used me as target practice. Next step is genjutsu and we'll keep working on your taijutsu." Naruto said

"I'm gonna hate this taijutsu training." Koyuki said

"You'll be fine. I do have a question though." Naruto said

"What's that?" Koyuki asked

"Why did you want me to train you? You could've just privately hired somebody. Why me?" Naruto asked

"Because you're the only person I trust with this kind of thing. I know Jiraiya is here, but I think he'd be a bit too hands on with me. That and I know you're strong." Koyuki said

"I guess I can live with that." Naruto said

"So, have you had any luck with Sadai?" Koyuki asked

"Yeah. It's definitely him. Two days ago I saw him signing for another arrival from a ship. I tracked him down to where he's building the chakra armor and it seems he only has on for himself. I couldn't destroy it because the core he has is a lot more powerful than the one your uncle used. I'd have to get him when he makes his move." Naruto said

"When would that be?" Koyuki asked

"I'd say within the next few days. He has everything he needs to finish it, but I think he's carefully waiting to make sure you're alone." Naruto said

"I don't think I'll be able to handle him." Koyuki said

"You won't be. I'll be there to take him on." Naruto said

"After he's taken care of, what's next?" Koyuki asked

"Then you finish the movie and your training." Naruto said

"Don't I get to have any kind of fun?" Koyuki asked and pouted

"I'll be giving you more time off to heal. I'm only training you so much because I don't know if Sadai has anyone working with him." Naruto said

"I just thought about this. Can that girl you recommended protect herself as well like Sekkusu?" Koyuki asked

"Yeah. She was trained to be a ninja, but didn't enjoy the killing part and the third hokage mainly sent her on seduction missions. She never had to go that far in the missions, but she felt like the third hokage was trying to get her killed or raped." Naruto said

"Well, she won't have to worry about that here. That kind of stuff is severely frowned upon here and has a castration penalty." Koyuki said

"If only Konoha was like that before granny Tsunade took over. Anyway, your training is over for today." Naruto said

"Good. How strong am I?" Koyuki asked

"Well, if I had to guess I'd say mid-genin, but that's only because you just started training with me. By the time I leave you should be about a mid-chunin level opponent. The shadow clones are helping speed up your progress." Naruto said

"So I'd be able to take you on?" Koyuki asked

"No. I'm basically mid-jonin level, but I lack experience." Naruto said

"Well, how will I train after you leave? We mainly have samurai here." Koyuki said

"I'm sure granny Tsunade wouldn't mind sending you some stuff to learn. We are allies after all." Naruto said

"Nice. So, how do I do genjutsu?" Koyuki asked

"We'll work on that another time. I said you're done for today and you have some movie scenes to film tomorrow." Naruto said

"What will you be doing?" Koyuki asked

"I have something to do. A personal mission of sorts." Naruto said

"Does it have anything to do with a girl?" Koyuki asked

"Is it that obvious? How did you know?" Naruto asked

"I can tell by the look on your face. Now, who is the lucky lady?" Koyuki asked and Naruto sighed

"Her name's Tayuya. When we get back to Konoha I'm taking her out on a date of sorts to this annual festival we have in our village. I was thinking about getting her a nice dress or something to wear for the festival." Naruto said

"Is she your girlfriend?" Koyuki asked

"No. I'm taking her to see how I feel. I mean, I know she likes me, but I'm not sure if I like her." Naruto said

"You like her." Koyuki said

"What makes you say that?" Naruto asked

"If you didn't like her then you wouldn't be trying to buy her a nice dress." Koyuki said

"I feel something, but I don't know what it is." Naruto said

"Then act on that feeling. If she likes you, then I don't think she'd mind." Koyuki said

"You don't know Tayuya like I do. If I do act on those feelings, there's a good chance that she'll kick me in the nuts or try to stab me." Naruto said

"Just trust me. If she really likes you, then she won't mind. I am a girl after all." Koyuki said

"Yeah. A girl who's never been on a date before." Naruto said

"By choice. If you were older I'd allow you to take me out." Koyuki said

"Maybe in another world." Naruto said and Koyuki laughed

"Joking aside. If you really want to get her a good dress, go to the dress store and ask for Chiyome. She makes all of my elegant dresses and if you tell her I sent you, I'm sure she'd help you out." Koyuki said

"Thanks. I'll owe you one for this." Naruto said

"You'll be saving my life for a second time while you're here. You don't owe me anything." Koyuki said

"I guess you're right. Are you ready to leave now?" Naruto asked

"Yes. Can you take me back to where I am staying? I need to soak in the hot springs there." Koyuki said

"Sure. Any progress on completing the generator?" Naruto asked

"It's nearly done. I have my best scientists working on it. We should officially become the land of spring within the next year." Koyuki said

"That's good. Maybe I'll come back to visit once it's done." Naruto said and vanished with Koyuki

Naruto

As he was walking through the land of snow under his henge, Naruto was looking around for that dress shop that Koyuki told him about. Everything was so lively around here and if it weren't for his fangirls, he'd gladly walk around without his henge. He looked like a small 8 year old with brown hair and black eyes. As he was walking, he noticed his search led him into a more fancy part of the land of snow and he felt a bit out of place. He found the store he was looking for and finally entered.

"Hello. How may I help you, young man?" The lady at the desk asked with a smile

"Um. I'm looking for Chiyome. I was told to come here to get a custom dress made." Naruto said

"Aren't you a bit too young to ask for a custom dress?" The cashier asked and Naruto looked around before dropping his henge

"It's me, Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto said

"Oh gosh! It's really you!" The cashier said and Naruto placed his hand over her mouth

"Please, keep it down. Nobody is supposed to know I'm here, but I had to do this." Naruto said and she nodded

"Sorry. It's just that you're famous in the land of snow. Anyway, Chiyome is around back. Just go through that door and she should be in her office." The lady said and pointed to a door

"Thanks." Naruto said and went through the doors

"Well, this is a surprise. The famous Naruto Uzumaki is in my shop and he is personally looking for me. To what do I owe the pleasure?" Chiyome asked

"Koyuki sent me here to get a custom dress made." Naruto said

"Who's the lucky lady?" Chiyome asked and pulled out a notepad

"Seriously? Do I have a note or something on my face?" Naruto asked

"Honey, I've been in this business for 20 years. I know when the dress is for a girl or not. Now, what are her measurements?" Chiyome asked

"I hope she doesn't kill me for this. If she does, I blame Shizune for forcing me to go shopping with her. 30, 32, 35." Naruto said and Chiyome wrote it down

"That's odd for a measurement, but I'm sure she'll have a massive growth spurt soon. What's her personality?" Chiyome asked

"Well, she's usually quiet unless she's around somebody she knows. She's an overbearing, abrasive, blunt, foul mouth girl, which has somewhat rubbed off on me. She is caring and sweet, but that's only when we're around each other with no one else around. She does swear at me when we're alone, but she's just joking." Naruto said and Chiyome wrote that down

"Uh-huh. What's she look like?" Chiyome asked

"Fair skin, nice brown eyes, and she has long beautiful red hair." Naruto said

"I see. I should have something prepared for you in 2 weeks." Chiyome said

"Thank you." Naruto said

"You should tell her how you feel." Chiyome said

"It's really complicated on my end and not for any bad reasons." Naruto said

"Whatever it is, I'm sure you'll make the right decision." Chiyome said and Naruto left

Konoha

Nobody was safe in Konoha at the moment and Tayuya was the reason for it. It's been two weeks since Naruto left and she hasn't gotten word or anything from him. Add in the fact that she had to go on a lot of basic C-rank missions with team 8 and she's basically a ticking time bomb right now. Kurenai was fine and she helped her with her genjutsu skills. It was Kiba and Hinata who were the problem.

Kiba would purposely try to sabotage her on their missions while Kurenai was busy and that resulted in Tayuya throwing kunai at him. Kiba told her that she's lucky Naruto is a nice guy and gave her a second chance, but he also said that he would kill her if she ever crossed the line and hurt him. Tayuya quickly shut him down when she told him that Naruto doesn't even consider any of them his friends. She also told Kiba that he could try to kill her, but she'd have him dead before he could even move which was true since Kiba was horrible at breaking genjutsu and all of her genjutsu so far were sound based which was his weakness due to his hearing.

Hinata on the other hand just kept staring at Tayuya and she swore she saw her glare at her once. The tension between the two of them was obvious and Hinata would purposely poke her chest out while walking past Tayuya to show off her figure. At first Tayuya was confused, when she talked to Kurenai about it she learned about Hinata's crush on Naruto and even found out she stalked him around the village. Tayuya told Hinata when they were alone that it was only a matter of time before Naruto was hers and that was the truth. The only thing is, Naruto didn't pick up on any signals she gave him indicating she liked him. She was currently in Tsunade's office since they just returned from another mission.

"Mission complete, Lady Tsunade." Kurenai said

"Good. Any problems?" Tsunade asked and looked at Tayuya who was irritated

"Why the fuck do you keep looking at me? I didn't do shit. It was these two fuckers as usual." Tayuya said

"What did I tell you about swearing in my office?" Tsunade asked and Tayuya sighed

"Fine. I'm sorry, big tits." Tayuya said and Tsunade pinched her nose

"Kurenai and team 8 dismissed." Tsunade said

"Thank you. Team 8, meet me at training ground 8 in two days for training. Tayuya, feel free to join if you like." Kurenai said and then left with team 8

"Not gonna happen." Tayuya said

"You should really try to get along with them." Tsunade said

"I tried and it's not working. I'd rather die than be friends with them anyway." Tayuya said

"You still can't cause problems on the missions." Tsunade said

"I don't. I just want to get them done quickly with no problems, but the nut licking mutt and shy stalker keep bothering me." Tayuya said

"It's amazing how she can come up with so many insults and find a way for them to be funny, but true as well." Shizune thought

"How about I send you on missions with team 9?" Tsunade asked

"Do you want me to kill the two green beans?" Tayuya asked

"Fair point. What about team 10?" Tsunade asked

"With the lazy crybaby, the chainsmoker, tubs and the prissy blonde slut? I'd rather pass. Can't I just go on some missions by myself? I can handle it." Tayuya said

"You sound like Naruto right now." Tsunade said and Tayuya blushed a bit

"It's the truth." Tayuya said

"I know, but I can't send a genin on a C-rank mission by themselves." Tsunade said

"Then promote me to chunin." Tayuya said

"I can't. You know you have to take the chunin exams for your chunin promotion. That was part of the deal with the shinobi council." Tsunade said

"Yeah yeah." Tayuya said and waved her hand at Tsunade

"Those are your only options." Tsunade said

"Why can't I just do a C-rank mission with a jonin or anbu member watching me then? I don't need the entire team to come with me." Tayuya said

"Who do you have in mind?" Tsunade asked

"Please don't say Anko." Shizune thought

"Kurenai, Anko or cat. I get along with them. I don't really know Hana that much and the other jonin can choke on a kunai." Tayuya said

"I'll talk to them about it." Tsunade said and Tayuya nodded

"Just out of curiosity. When does Naruto get back?" Tayuya asked

"Why? Do you miss him?" Tsunade asked and smirked when Tayuya blushed

"No! He's the only person my age in this village that I can tolerate." Tayuya said

"I know when he gets back, but I can't tell you since it's an S-rank mission from what I understand." Tsunade said

"Come on. Can't you give me a hint?" Tayuya asked

"Nope." Tsunade said and Tayuya yelled before storming out of the office

"Why didn't you let her know when Naruto was coming back?" Shizune asked

"Because it's fun messing with her. I need to have some kind of fun on the job." Tsunade said

"I guess you're right." Shizune said and Cat appeared in the office

"What is it, Cat?" Tsunade asked

"Tayuya has gone on a rampage again. Do I have permission to apprehend her?" Cat asked

"Let her blow off some steam. It's kind of my fault. Is there anything else?" Tsunade asked

"Yes. The council is waiting for you. There was an emergency meeting called about Naruto not being in the village." Cat said

"Who called the meeting?" Tsunade asked

"Elder Danzo." Cat said

"Of course he did. I'll be there shortly." Tsunade said and Cat vanished

"That's odd." Shizune said

"I know. Why would Danzo call a meeting because Naruto isn't here?" Tsunade asked

"Because Danzo doesn't know that Naruto is out on a mission with Jiraiya. He doesn't know much that goes on anymore since you seal the office now and it keeps his little spy's out. One thing we know about Danzo is that he doesn't like when he doesn't know what's going on in the village." Shizune said

"No. Danzo wants something else." Tsunade said

"What could he be after?" Shizune asked and after Tsunade thought about it, her eyes went wide

"He wants Tayuya! CAT." Tsunade yelled

"Yes, lady Tsunade?" Cat asked

"I want you to grab Anko and Kurenai. Go protect Tayuya at any cost." Tsunade said

"Of course." Cat said and vanished

"Why would Danzo want Tayuya?" Shizune asked

"He doesn't want Tayuya. He wants Naruto and he knows if he can get Tayuya then he can blackmail Naruto into joining him." Tsunade said

"That isn't very smart. Danzo is putting the entire village at risk. Naruto would lose control of the nine tails if something happened to Tayuya." Shizune said

"I know. That's why I have 3 of my top jonin and an anbu going to help her." Tsunade said

"What will we do about the meeting?" Shizune asked

"We'll go, but act normal." Tsunade said

Konoha forest

"Who the fuck are you and what the fuck do you want?" Tayuya asked as she was surrounded by 15 blank mask anbu

"Our master would like a word with you." The obvious captain said

"Tell your boss I said to kiss my fucking ass." Tayuya said and pulled out her flute

"Get her. Use force, but do not kill her." The anbu captain said, but that's when Anko, Kurenai and Cat landed in front of Tayuya

"Aww. You guys weren't going to start without us, were you?" Anko said

"Either leave or die." Cat said

"Kill them all. Leave the girl alive." The captain said

"It's like you're a magnet for trouble, Tayuya." Kurenai said

"Shit happens." Tayuya said

"Let's do this!" Anko said

Anko pulled out two kunai and ran towards the first two anbu members she saw. The anbu members pulled out their tanto swords and swung at Anko, but she did a split to avoid the swipes and threw a kunai into each of their groin. Anko removed the kunai and then quickly slit their throats. She was nearly kicked from behind, but her years of experience kicked in and she used her hidden shadow snake hands to grab the anbu and threw a kunai straight through his skull.

"These guys aren't that strong." Anko said and pouted

"We have our orders, Anko." Kurenai said

Kurenai ducked out of the way from a head kick by an anbu and quickly trapped him in the hellfire genjutsu. Before the anbu could break the genjutsu, Kurenai threw multiple shuriken into his body. She saw two more anbu coming at her and she trapped them in the tree binding death genjutsu, then watched as the anbu fell to the ground dead since the tree exploded.

"Six down, nine more to go." Kurenai said

Tayuya hid in the trees using the double false surrounding genjutsu to keep herself hidden. She used the summoning jutsu to summon her Doki into the fight. Once the Doki were summoned, Tayuya used her flute to control her Doki and had them attack the four Anbu members that were still trapped in her genjutsu still. Since she no longer had the curse mark, it was hard for her to have complete control over the Doki since she didn't have that evil presence on her anymore, but she had just enough control to have them smash the four anbu members and kill them.

"She's right. These guys are fucking weak. How the fuck didn't they know they were under a damn genjutsu?" Tayuya asked and Kurenai sighed

"We really need to work on that mouth of yours." Kurenai said

"My mouth is pretty fucking fine." Tayuya said

"I don't see a problem with how she talks." Anko said

"Of course you don't." Kurenai said and then the five remaining anbu members fell to the ground

"What the fuck was that?" Tayuya asked

"Did you forget that I was here?" Cat asked

"Well, yeah. I'm not a fucking sensor and I thought you got your pretty ass out of here." Tayuya said

"How do you know I'm pretty? You don't know what I look like." Cat said

"There's only two people in the damn village with purple fucking hair. I know who you are." Tayuya said

"She's got a point." Anko said

"Let's just seal the bodies and report to Lady Tsunade." Kurenai said

"Uh, that's not going to happen." Anko said

"Why?" Tayuya asked

"Look." Anko said and they saw all the bodies go up in flames

"What the hell? Was that the aftermath of your genjutsu?" Tayuya asked

"No. I had nothing to do with that." Kurenai said

"Wait. How'd you know I was in trouble?" Tayuya asked

"Lady Tsunade had a feeling you were in danger since an emergency meeting was called about Naruto being gone, but it's never happened like that before." Cat said

"Then big tits must've known that the anbu would come after me. I thought the anbu only responded to her, the anbu captain and anbu commander." Tayuya said

"They do, but I don't think these are normal anbu members." Anko said

"What the hell does that mean?" Tayuya asked

"We need to go to Lady Tsunade." Cat said, then vanished with Anko and Kurenai

"WHAT THE FUCK! AREN'T YOU FUCKING FORGETTING SOMETHING?" Tayuya yelled and Kurenai came back

"Sorry." Kurenai said and grabbed Tayuya before vanishing

Tsunade's office

"So, I was right." Tsunade said

"Yes, Lady Tsunade. When we arrived she was surrounded by 15 blank masked anbu members." Cat said

"Why were they after me? I didn't do anything wrong. Well, I don't think I did." Tayuya said and crossed her arms while thinking

"Sheesh. She even has Naruto's thinking face." Tsunade said

"They weren't after you exactly, Tayuya." Shizune said

"Then you or big tits better start explaining." Tayuya said

"The person who sent them isn't after you. He's after Naruto. You were more than likely going to be used as blackmail to force Naruto to join his side." Tsunade said

"So, why not go after Naruto himself then?" Tayuya asked

"Because Naruto is the nine tails jinchuriki and the guy doesn't want Naruto to release the nine tails, but he made one miscalculation." Tsunade said

"What's that?" Anko asked

"Tayuya, what do you think Naruto would do if he found out somebody in this village was holding you hostage?" Tsunade asked

"Come look for me." Tayuya said

"That's right, but when he finds you, there's a chance that he can release more nine tails chakra than he can currently handle and fully release the nine tails. Either way this village would be destroyed." Tsunade said

"Damn. So, who's the guy that sent the anbu after me?" Tayuya asked

"His name is Danzo Shimura and he's an elder on our council." Tsunade said

"Bandage over his eye and missing an arm? Has an X on his chin?" Tayuya asked

"Yeah. How do you know him?" Shizune asked

"A few years ago I saw him talking with Orochimaru about something, but I didn't know what it was about since they were talking quietly." Tayuya said

"It's something, but it's not much." Tsunade said

"So, do you mind telling me why your anbu attacked me when they're supposed to answer to only you, the anbu captain and anbu commander?" Tayuya asked

"These aren't my anbu. Those anbu belonged to ROOT. It's an illegally ran division of anbu black ops and Danzo is the leader." Tsunade said

"Then if it's illegal, why not arrest him?" Tayuya asked

"Because he doesn't leave any trail. I've dealt with a few ROOT anbu when I took over as hokage and after they are defeated, they go up in flames. He's very careful and nobody knows the location of the base. Naruto is the best sensor in the village and he couldn't even find them. He thinks wherever they're hidden is protected by seals." Tsunade said

"Lady Tsunade, what do we do now?" Kurenai asked

"Yeah. I was looking forward to torturing them, but now I can't. Can I go after Danzo and bring him in for questioning?" Anko asked and pulled out a kunai

"No. For now we do nothing. His priorities right now are Naruto and taking the hokage title from me, but that won't happen. Naruto is being trained by Jiraiya so he's under careful watch basically all the time even when Jiraiya isn't in the village. As for me. Well, let's just say that I'm even better than I was when I was younger." Tsunade said

"Well, how old are you?" Tayuya asked

"Don't worry about it." Tsunade said

"I bet Naruto knows." Tayuya said

"He does, but he swore he won't tell anybody." Tsunade said

"I can get it out of him." Tayuya said with confidence

"I told him if he tells anybody my age, then I'll personally have the Ichirakus ban him from eating there ever again." Tsunade said

"Dammit!" Tayuya said

"Will Danzo come after us now?" Kurenai asked

"No. He knows both of you are needed to keep Konoha safe since you're some of the top jonin and Cat is the anbu captain." Tsunade said

"What about me? I mean if that's all he's sending after me then I can handle them easily." Tayuya said

"No. If he makes another move on you, then next time the anbu he sends will be stronger." Shizune ssid

"Then what do I do?" Tayuya asked

"You train obviously. He'll go in the shadows for now since he knows he failed and that gives us time to prepare. I don't know what you want to train in, but I'll give you two weeks 3 weeks to make up your mind before I choose a training regime for you." Tsunade said

"Fine. I'll look into some stuff." Tayuya said

"Good. You're all dismissed." Tsunade said and they left the office

"Lady Tsunade, perhaps it is best that you implement your medical program now with everything going on. The akatsuki were one thing, but now Danzo has joined our list of oncoming problems." Shizune said

"Yes, I know. I want a list of everyone you think would benefit the most from this course. Both of us will be leading this, but it will mainly be you since I have my hokage duties to deal with as well." Tsunade said

"Yes, M'lady." Shizune said and left the office

As soon as Shizune left the office, Tsunade pulled out a bottle of saki and took a huge gulp. Things would be so much better once the current threats are dealt with and she can actually relax. She was looking out the window when a messenger toad came and delivered a letter to her from Naruto. He told her that he was training Koyuki and he needed her to send over some scrolls for her to learn from once he leaves. That pretty much told her where he was at and he also told her he was having a dress made for Tayuya to wear for the festival.

This was all unexpected, but she was dealing with Naruto here and she smiled. She quickly wrote a response to him and placed some ninjutsu scrolls, genjutsu scrolls, taijutsu scrolls and even a copy of some of her medical ninjutsu scrolls and sealed them into a piece of paper she gave back to the messenger toad. She was glad she knew how to seal stuff away or that would've been more difficult.

As the toad went away, Tsunade looked out the window and saw Tayuya walking around. She knew Tayuya would have a hard time figuring out what to do especially with Naruto leaving for over two years with Jiraiya and that's when she came up with the perfect solution to her problem. The only problem was she didn't know if Tayuya would accept this proposal or not.
