Naruto Uzumaki, known as the happy going knuckle head and the Jinchuriki of the kyuubi no kitsune was in the hospital, not happy for once. He was feeling something he rarely feels, anger and regret, and it was targeted towards his two supposed teammates Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno. He was Angry at Sasuke for turning his back on the village and trying to kill him, all because he wanted to cherish the bond he made with the one person he thought would understand him. But in return for extending his friendship, he received two chidori to the chest, a technique created by his sensei.
Sakura Haruno was a different story. She begged him to bring her precious Uchiha back to her and he gave her a promise of a lifetime so she could be happy. But in return for his effort she had the nerve to berate him, her being useless.
Flashback.
Naruto just woke up from his hospital bed, rubbing eyes. He looked around the room and noticed Sakura was in there, he was about to greet her until she slapped him in the face. "How could you, I believed in you, you promised! I should've known you wouldn't be able to do it. You will always be a deadlast and a failure."
"Come on Sakura-chan, I-I'm sorry."
"Shut up! I don't want to hear it. Don't talk to me." she turned around and left a heartbroken Naruto just staring at the spot she was standing at.
Flashback end.
Naruto regrets promising such an ungrateful shallow person like Sakura anything. He even started to question why he even had a crush on her. He signed and gripped the sheets harder. 'If she knew I held back with my last attack, she wouldn't have said anything. I could've killed the teme if I wanted to. I will get stronger and never lose to the Uchiha again.'
Oh you're awake foxy-kun." Naruto looked up and smiled at one of his best friends, Anko Mitarashi. She closed the door behind her and walked towards the bed and sat on it. "How is my little fox?"
Naruto gave Anko a forced grin. "I'm alright, I'm almost-"
"Naruto-kun," Naruto stopped speaking and stared at Anko's eyes, she looked worried. "What did we talk about wearing masks in front of each other?" Naruto widened as Anko put her palm on his cheek. "I can tell by your eyes, you're not alright, you're in pain. Please talk to me." Anko leaned forward and kissed his cheek. She pulled and smiled. "Trust me foxy."
Naruto signed and gave Anko a real smile, causing her to return it. "Sometimes I don't understand what I saw in Sakura, when I had someone like you."
"Flattery will get you everywhere with me, but only for you my dear fox. Now talk." Naruto nodded.
"I guess the first thing I feel is guilt. My team risked their lives for us to bring the Uchiha back and I messed up because I held back."
"What do you mean, it's not like you to just let him go."
"Hebi-chan, the mission was to retrieve Sasuke." Anko nodded. "It wasn't written that he had to be alive." Anko stared for a moment before it hit her.
"You could've killed him." Anko whispered but Naruto heard her.
"That's right, all so I can make Sakura happy. But all I got was a slap in the face by Pinky and two chidoris in the chest by the Uchiha." Naruto said with a little venom which surprised Anko. she felt rage built up. 'When I get my hands on those two for hurting foxy.' "and I feel rage because she had the nerve to come in here and call me a failure and deadlast." Anko chuckled a bit.
"It's ironic that the dead-weight of your team can talk. To be honest, I'm surprised you're not a chunin. After saving the village during the invasion and bringing lady Tsunade here, you even beat a Hyuga." Anko complimented
"Thanks, anyway I also feel regret." Anko was shocked, what could he possibly regret.
"What could you possibly regret?"
Naruto signed before answering. "Trusting them. I wanted my team to be like a family. Sasuke I thought we shared the same pain and could understand each other. Sakura, I had a crush on her and thought if I treated her well, she would give me a chance. But I guess she likes guys who make her feel like scum." Anko couldn't hold back the laugh at the joke. "And Kakashi-sensei, but I guess calling him sensei would be a lie. I'm glad he cares for me but he never taught me anything but he taught a mental emo a assassination jutsu. I don't know what to do."
Anko looked at Naruto and placed his face in her chest making him blush. "No more complaining. The problem is simple: make yourself happy. Instead of focusing on others, focus on yourself. You want to be hokage right? Train yourself and ask for help. If you can't count on the cyclops, ask others. I'll even help you like I have been doing, after all, you're my precious person." Anko said, making Naruto smile.
"Training the future hokage, that'll look good on your record." Naruto joked a bit.
Anko smirked. "You know what would be even better?" Anko went close to his ear to whisper something. Then pulled back to stare at Naruto's blank face for a moment and soon his nose spurted blood.
"You.. you.. You can't be serious." Naruto questioned with a huge blush on his face. Anko chuckled and rubbed her hand on his face.
"Why would I joke about that? You're very cute, you know that?" Anko teased, causing Naruto to stutter. "Anyway, I have to go, hopefully you get better soon foxy-kun." Anko gave him a deep kiss and then leapt out the window, leaving a stunned Naruto.
"Wow." That was all Naruto could say. He didn't know what to think, Anko Mitarashi, one of the most beautiful kunoichi in the village, just kissed him. This brought up a lot of questions. What were his feelings toward the snake mistress? Did he like her? Why did she have this kind of effect on him? And most importantly, why in the world did he like Sakura again?!
"I see you're awake." Naruto looked towards the door and saw Tsunade, Gaara and Shizune walk in.
"Oh hey baa-chan, how are you?"
"How many times am I going to tell you not to call me that? Why do you keep calling me that?" Tsunade asked with a tick mark on her head. Naruto looked down and smiled softly.
"Because..you're like family to me." Tsunade's heart melted and walked over and gave him a hug.
"Thank you, but can you please call me something else? Baa-chan makes me feel old and it's rude to call a lady old." Tsunade scolded.
"Hmm, how about nee-chan?" Naruto asked. Tsunade's eyes widened and in a brief second, she could've sworn she saw a vision of Nawaki again. She kissed Naruto on the forehead. "That's fine. Anyway, how are you feeling."
Gaara approached Naruto and smiled. "How are you doing my friend?"
"I'm fine, thanks Gaara. I wish I was able to bring back the teme. I feel like I failed everyone." Naruto frowned. Tsunade looked at Shizune with a hint of anger. Shizune knew how Tsunade felt about the Uchiha.
"So, how much did you hold back?" Gaara asked. Naruto gave Gaara a confused look.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean you were able to beat me in my biju state, so I assume you held back in your fight against the Uchiha. Even though he betrayed you, you still spared him. I really wish to be like you and to build a better bond with you." Garra said.
Naruto was quiet for a moment then smiled. "thanks Gaara ." Gaara nodded. Tsunade narrows her eyes before speaking. "Hold on a moment! Gaara-san, what do you mean? In the reports from the invasion, it was stated Naruto assisted the Uchiha in beating you"
Gaara turned his gaze towards the godaime and narrowed his eyes. "I'm not surprised. If the villagers and council here are anyway like Suna, then I would assume that someone got into the archive and changed it. I assure you it was Naruto who defeated me, the Uchiha tried to fight me but he wasn't even a challenge. My sister even witnessed it, even though it was a regrettable time for me. Naruto proved to me that day, how strong your so-called 'will of fire' was."
"Ok, what about how Neji surrendered to Naruto in the chunin exams?" Shizune stepped in.
"Another lie, Naruto, believe it or not, used his brain in that fight. Instead of recklessly charging in, he used his bunshins to get close to the Hyuga and was able to separate his chakra among them equally. Not only that, he hid one of his clones in the back, baiting the hyuga to think that the clone was the real one. If anything, Naruto was the strongest genin in the exam."
Everyone was quiet, until they felt ki coming from the godaime. "Those bastards! They messed with the Naruto-kun report because of his status. I should've known from Shikamaru's report. How Naruto used his clones to maneuver into the enemy web trap, and fooled him so everyone could escape, his ability to learn an A-rank jutsu in a week. Naruto-kun."
"Yes, nee-chan?"
"It's time you get what you deserve, meet me in my office tomorrow and bring anyone you trust with your heart, and someone who knows about your status, it's important. I'm going to set everything right. Shizune, check him out after you examine him." Tsunade ordered before leaving. Everyone else was confused but remained quiet.
Shizune decided to break the silence and turned to Naruto. "Naruto-kun, how are you feeling?"
Naruto looked at his Shizune and chuckled. "Kinda nervous actually."
The next day
Tsunade gathered the three necessary scrolls for Naruto. 'Naruto-kun' everytime she thought about her little brother, she just couldn't imagine how great of a kid he was. Anyone who was treated as badly as he was, should've ended up like Gaara. But he kept going strong, he had a heart of a hokage and he deserved happiness, he lost many things because of this village and it was time for them to own up. She was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard a knock at her door. "Come in."
The door opened revealing Naruto with Shizune, Gaara and Anko? "I'm here nee-chan." Naruto said with a smile.
"Good to see you gaki, I'm assuming these are the people you trust?" Naruto nodded. Tsunade turned to the tobitski jonin. "Not questioning your choice, but why's Anko here?"
Naruto smiled and looked at Anko. "because no one understands me as much as here, well until I met Gaara. I'm pretty sure you know her backstory with pedomaru?" Naruto asked. Tsunade nodded. "Well, she was treated as badly as I was since her relationship with him and had the same pain in her eyes as me."
"Let me speak for myself foxy-kun." Anko interrupted. "You see Tsunade-sama, ever since I was marked and it became well known I was the snake-teme apprentice, people started treating me like a plague. On missions, I was abandoned by my so-called comrades, no restaurant would serve me, and men treat me like a sex toy or at least tried." Anko said, looking at Naruto when she said the last part, which was caught by Tsunade. "Which brings me to how I met foxy-kun, when he was ten years old, I just became a chunin and went to celebrate at the usual dango spot. A guy tried to hit on me and to me I wasn't worth anything and I should be lucky to be with someone like him." Tsunade and Shizune scowled. "Lucky for me, a blonde handsome fox overheard and came to my rescue. He told the jerk and I quote 'that's not how you treat a lady and he should be lucky that someone as pretty as her would give him the time of day.' It made me feel special that someone would think of me like that. After that, we talked and became secret friends."
"Secret friends?" Tsunade asked.
"Yes, you see Naruto and I decided to keep our friendship a secret. Imagine what the village would do if the snake whore and the demon brat hung out together. It would give them more reason to attack us, and by keeping our relationship a secret, it would save their lives from me. I started training him on the basics since the academy was trying to hinder him. After he met the toad pervert, I refined his chakra control and taught him a little of my snake style."
Tsunade smiled and walked over to the tobitski jonin and gave her a hug. "Thanks for taking care of my little brother, while I wasn't here."
Anko was shocked at first but slowly returned the hug. "No problem." Tsunade pulled back and went back behind her desk. "Now that it's settled, it's time to tell you four why you're here. Anbu leaves us." Soon she felt the chakra signatures disappear and continue to speak. "First of all, Naruto-kun, after reviewing your past mission stats, from saving the wave, defending your team against a sannin, beating a biju and hyuga, returning with a new kage. I hereby promote you to chunin." Tsunade tossed her fellow blonde a green scroll. " Your vest is in there, along with a handbook. But that's not the only reason you are here. Since you reach the requirement, I am now allowed to tell you about parents."
Naruto's eyes widened. "You know who my parents are?" Naruto asked with tears in his eyes. Shizune and Anko gave the blonde a concerned look, sure they were curious but this was about Naruto.
Tsunade rested her chin on her hands and nodded. "Yes, we were ordered by your father not to reveal anything to you until you were promoted to jonin or were strong enough to defend yourself. Since you beat a biju and a hyuga in one day. And beating a jonin like that , I think the latter qualifies. You see, Your parents were both SS-tier shinobis who could wipe out a village by themselves if they were triggered and trust me when I say, your mother was triggered to anger easily."
Naruto nodded and felt the excitement build up, especially after being told that his parents were amazingly strong. "Hurry nee-chan, tell me please."
Tsunade took the yellow, orange and red scroll and handed it both to Naruto, which confused the new chunin. "The yellow one is from your father and the red one is from your mother. I was told not to give you the orange one until you're a jonin and when we announce your heritage towards the village. To open the scroll, you need to bite your thumb and wipe it over the seal." Naruto did as instructed and wiped his blood on the scroll causing it to open. There were multiple jutsu scrolls sealed in label S-B. and there were also two letters. He picked one up and gave it to Tsunade.
"This one is for you nee-chan." Tsunade had a confused look but took the letter nonetheless.
Naruto opened the letter and his eyes began to tear up..
Dear Naruto, my son.
I'm sorry to say I won't be able to grow up with you and see you become the great man I know you will be. If you haven't figured it out, I'm the yondaime and I'm about to battle the kyuubi, but I'm afraid the only way I could defeat it is to seal it inside of you. I couldn't ask anyone else to use their child and even if I could, the kyuubi could only be sealed inside a child of Uzumaki blood. I don't have to give you a long speech but I do want to make one thing clear. Your mother and I love you, we wanted to grow with you but fate had other plans. I'll leave everything I have to you, my jutsus and seals I created and from the Namikaze clan, my house, and inheritance. I want you to surpass me one day and I believe you will. In my scroll is a training method on how I became the fastest shinobi alive, but I believe you will become faster. And the final note, even though you will be a jinchuriki, remember, true strength comes from desire to protect, rely on your own strength. Anyway, dad got to go, remember I love you son.
Your awesome Tou-chan, Minato Namikaze.
Naruto had tears in his eyes. But not because he was sad but because he was happy. His parents loved him. He was wanted. He wasn't abandoned. He opened the red one and began to read it.
Dear Naru-chan, momma here.
It pains me to say I won't be around to grow up with you. You see, a masked man kidnapped me and ripped the kyuubi out of me and when a jinchuuriki is separated from the host, they die, so it's safe to say I don't have time. I want you to learn from all three of your heritages. Your fathers and both of mine. You probably are not aware but you're from the Uzumaki clan, we are masters of fuin jutsu and have high chakra reserves. But you are also a Senju, your great grand-uncle was Tobirama Senju. The Senju clan have great control over certain nature affinities. Mines being wind and water. I left everything from the Uzumaki clan in the red scroll and if you ever meet Tsunade Senju, ask her for help, after all, you two most likely are cousins. Anyway, grow up strong, and if you are put in the CRA, find women you love and will do anything to protect you. I want grandkids and I better not see you up here soon. I love you sochi and always will, never doubt that.
Love kaa-chan, Kushina Uzumaki.
Naruto, Anko, Shizune and Tsunade had tears coming out their eyes after Naruto was done. He was sad he couldn't meet them and he was happy, they took the time to message him before they perished. Naruto looked at Tsunade and she looked back, both smiling at the other. 'Family.' "well good to have a family member but you're still just a brat."
Naruto chuckled a bit. "Is that all, I was hoping to get some training in."
"I couldn't agree more, which is why you will be taking a month off missions. You have three clans to learn from and it won't be easy." Tsunade added.
"That's why I will be taking you out of the village for a while to teach you everything I know. With the akatsuki coming after you, you'll need to be strong as ever to defend yourself." Jiraiya said, appearing from the window.
"Excuse me, but what do you mean 'defend yourself?' Naruto-kun needs to be as strong as you are to beat those S-rank bastards,"Anko said. "What are your plans for foxy-kun? I'm kinda interested.
"That's none of your concern."
"IT IS MY CONCERN WHEN THE PEOPLE I CARE ABOUT AT RISK PERVERT!" Anko yelled, surprising everyone in the room. "I don't think I would be able to handle it if Naruto were to…" Anko looked at Naruto and blushed, which didn't go unnoticed by Tsunade. ' So that's it! She likes the gaki' Tsunade thought with a smirk.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure he'll get all the training he needs." Jiraiya said.
"Then tell us, what type of training are you planning?" Tsunade insisted.
"Fine, I was going to fix his taijutsu, go over some strategic combinations with the kage bunshin, introduce him to the spy network and loosen the seal to help him control the kyuubi chakra. Well, what do you think?" Jiraiya asked with pride. Tsunade didn't answer and turned to Anko and noticed she was confused.
"I guess that's not bad for a month-long training trip." Anko replied. Jiraiya gave her a look of disbelief, while Tsunade was chuckling. Shizune just sweated a bit. Anko looked at everyone, not understanding the joke. "What?"
Jiraiya cleared his throat. "Anko-san, it's not a month, it's 3 years."
"WHAT?!" Everyone had to cover their ears. "That's all you have for 3 years, I could do better in 3 months. How does he expect to beat S-rank criminals with that?"
"It will buy him time till help arrives, once he masters everything, I'll teach him more when he's ready." Jiraiya argued.
"Until he is ready? He's already ready. He learned an A-rank jutsu in a week." Anko turned to Naruto and smiled. "Naruto-kun, may I tell them about our secret training?" Naruto smiled back and nodded. Anko turned her attention back to the toad sage. "After your return with lady hokage, I found out about Naruto's chakra nature,he has three: Wind which is his strongest, water and earth. After I taught him three earth and water jutsu, he also learned shunshin. He still needed practice with the wind cutting exercise, but he got the water flow and earth crumble exercise done. He pretty much mastered tree walking, water walking and the kunai balance. So again, 'until he's ready?' Anko taunted, narrowing her eyes.
Tsunade was impressed, Anko was able to provide better training than Jiraiya and Kakashi like a sensei should even though she wasn't one at all. Tsunade decided to reward the girl. "Anko Mitarashi!" Anko stood up straight. "I read your report, ever since Orochimaru betrayed the village, you were treated like him despite your loyalty, you completed numerous A-S rank missions and even helped a genin in need. So to reward you for your progress, I promote you to jonin." Tsunade finished.
Anko was speechless. She couldn't believe she was promoted. Ever since she was betrayed, the council didn't trust her and she remained a tokubetsu jonin because the council didn't want her to taint the newer generation. She couldn't describe how happy she was feeling."Congratulations Anko-chan." Naruto said with a warm smile. Anko turned to her favorite blonde and a thought came to her head. She gives him a seductive smirk. Naruto noticed and got nervous. 'Uh-oh she's up to some-hmm' Naruto thoughts were cut-off when Anko smashed her lips on top of his, shoving her tongue into his mouth. Tsunade was shocked, Shizune was surprised, Gaara smirked and Jiraiya took out a notebook and started scribbling.
Anko pulled back and dropped a goofy grinning Naruto on the floor. She then took out a kunai and threw it through the notebook. "I do not want to be in your novel. Which reminds me." Anko turned to Tsunade. "Tsunade-sama, I have two requests." Tsunade gave her a confused look but gave her the go ahead. "First, I want to strike a deal."
"What sort of deal?"
"If Naruto-kun doesn't come back stronger than me in 3 years, ban all Icha-Icha from the village." Jiraiya's eyes widened at this.
"Now, now wait a minute, isn't that a bit much. Don't you trust me?" Jiraiya asked.
Tsunade smirked at this, hit the pervert where it hurts but she felt it wasn't enough. "Good idea Anko-san, but let me add a little more. People who are caught peeking have to pay a fine." Jiraiya began to cry anime tears.
Jiraiya then smirked. Anko just made jonin, she is not as strong as Kakashi. So I don't have to worry.'
"My second request is to join anbu after Naruto-kun leaves and train in the gauntlet so I can reach my potential." she said with a smirk, glancing at Jiraiya. Jiraiya grunted.
Tsunade couldn't hold in the laughter. "Haha, granted. You do need to get stronger if you're going to be dating my lil brother."
Naruto woke up and turned to Tsunade. "D-dating?"
Jiraiya stopped crying and smirked. "Fine you got a deal, I'll rebuild him from the ground up. So gaki, we leave in 1 month" Jiraiya said.
Tsunade nodded. "Jiraiya before you go. I'll give you the scrolls from each of the Naru-chan clans. He knows the secret of shadow clones, so it shouldn't be too hard." Jiraiya nodded and shunshin away. Tsunade turned to Anko, who was hugging Naruto and Gaara. "You three are dismissed, Gaara good luck on your way back to Suna.
"Thank you for your kindness, I will take my leave." he turned to Naruto, who just got off Anko's arms, and smiled. "It was nice seeing Naruto. Visit Suna when you have a chance. I'll send Jiraiya-sama some wind scrolls to help with your training."
"Thanks Gaara, make sure to become stronger. I don't want to lose my brother." Naruto said, extending his arm. Gaara did the same and they both shook hands. Gaara turned to Anko. "Please take care of him, you both deserve happiness."
Anko nodded, then Gaara left. Anko grabbed Naruto's hand, causing him to blush. "We should celebrate our promotion and go on our first date."
"Wait, what? When did we discuss this?"
Anko gave a fake sad look. "Oh, I guess you don't want to go out with someone like me."
"What, of course I would. I was just surprised. Who wouldn't want to go out with someone as awesome as you?"
Anko blushed and hugged Naruto. "Great, but no one will get that opportunity but you. Now the dango shop awaits." Anko announced before shunshin away along with Naruto.
"So, Naruto-kun and Anko-san huh?" Shizune spoke up.
"Honestly, I think they're perfect for each other. Naruto and Anko understand each other, so it makes sense that they're together. But hopefully their wild side don't take over and no one is stupid to insult either of them. If anything, those two can be overprotective." Shizune laughed in agreement.
Dango shop
"Ok and done!" Anko said, handing Naruto their schedule. Naruto chuckled a bit. "Mon-Fri: 6am - 9am: Taijutsu training. 9am -12pm: Ninjutsu training. 12pm- 1pm: lunch. 1pm - 4pm: clan training. 4pm - 10pm: AXNT. Sat-Sun: All day. AXNEFT." Naruto read. "What's AXNEFT?" Naruto asked.
"Anko and Naruto's Extra Fun Time." Anko answered. "We can go on dates but nothing too mushy. We can go to the sauna or even go into heat like wolves. Now that I think about it.." Anko leaned in and smirked. "We could pop each other V-cards before you leave, after all, I am kinda curious on how big you are." Naruto blushed at the statement, which caused Anko's smile to grow and continue to tease the blonde. "If you want, tonight we can start humping like rabbits." She then grabbed his hand and put it on her breast. "After all, I'm all yours. She whispered the last part in his ear, causing him to blush harder and pass out from a nosebleed.
1 month later.
A month has passed since Naruto's promotion and the start of his and Anko's abnormally fun relationship and he uses that word loosely. Anko wasn't the type to take things slow, they haven't done the deed but they almost crossed the line a couple times. Anko had snuck into his new home, he moved in with Tsunade, and entered the shower while he was in. Naruto was surprised, but that didn't stop Anko from assaulting his mouth.
Shizune walked in on them when she had to go and blushed up a storm. Which caused Anko to cease her actions and Naruto passed out from the heat. Their training went well, Naruto found some wind training exercises from his fathers scrolls. Naruto secretly started studying fuinjutsu so he could remove the seal from Anko's neck. Naruto found out that the Senju, Uzumaki, and Namikaze had different taijutsu styles. Senju focused on strength to penetrate people's defenses, but less speed. Uzumaki's style was balanced, he maneuvered close range , defending and attacking at the same time. Namikaze focused on speed and never being touched, while delivering fatal blows. He didn't master the Senju and Namikaze style because he needed proper chakra control and speed, so he put on some weight and gravity seals on his body he found in his clan scrolls to help. He learned some more water jutsu and manipulations.
Anko, while training her blonde lover, did some training on her own. She discovered she had a third element besides fire and wind, which was lightning. She started practicing lightning manipulation and put on some training weights to increase her speed. She was looking up another taijutsu style, since she didn't want to lose to her boyfriends. She decided to learn the dragon style which requires the same flexibility as the snake style but instead of grabbing and pinning opponents, and striking speed. It focused on the power of strength and destroying your opponents.
The past month has been great for the two outcasts, they bonded to each other very fast, to the point that if you even bad mouth one of them, you might end up in the hospital. Some civilians tried to mess with them but with enough snakes and demonic chakra, the civilians fled. One thing Anko loved about her blonde lover was his kind nature, especially when Tsunade brought up pinky.
Flashback
Naruto was relaxing in the Senju hot spring with Anko on his lap. "You know foxy-kun, if you want we could have our private party." the snake mistress said, turning around and started to rub her nose against Naruto's. But unfortunately for her she was cut off.
"Too bad it's not private." The two turned to the source and saw Tsunade and Shizune walk in, Shizune was wearing a towel, while Tsunade was stark naked.
"Nee-chan, Shizune-chan?! W-what are you doing here?" Naruto asked.
"What do you mean? We live here and why would we wear clothes to our hot spring." Tsunade smiling in pride at making a younger guy nervous with her body.
"We decided to join you, Naruto-kun, I mean Tsunade-sama and I don't mind showing you our bodies. You're too much of a gentleman to do anything." Shizune said, removing her towel. "And plus, I doubt you would find my body attractive, especially compared to Anko-san."
"That's not true." The three women turned to Naruto, who was gazing at Shizune. "It doesn't matter how you look, Shizune, you're one of the nicest people I have ever met. Looks don't matter, and in that department, I think you look beautiful. Anko-chan has a sexy body which is true." Anko gave Naruto a kiss on the cheek. "But you have a beautiful body as well. So don't doubt yourself." Naruto finished.
Shizune stared at the blonde for a while before she started blushing. She then gave him a warm smile. "Thanks Naruto-kun, I appreciate it."
Tsunade smiled at this, she really adored Naruto and his kind hearted nature, she swore to herself if she was younger, she would've gone for him. "Anyway Naru-chan, I want to talk to you about Sakura."
Naruto turned to the slug princess and frowned, "what about her?"
"She came to me today requesting I train her and make her my apprentice. I want your opinion before I answer. Whatever you say, I will go with, since she treated you badly when you were injured. Plus I have the feeling you haven't told her about you giving up on your promise."
"I said I will bring him back, I never said alive. He betrayed me and why would I bring him back from the council or Sakura if they never respected me? But to answer your question, I think you should train her. I might not like her anymore, but I don't want her to die. But I will tell her about my promise when I decide to. If she likes the teme, she could save him herself, regardless if it's from pedomaru or me. She has potential, so it's good not to waste it." Tsunade nodded and approved of the answer.
"Wow, I'm impress foxy-kun, if it was me, I would've told pinky to fuck herself but I guess I could learn a thing or two from you." Anko said, kissing Naruto on the lips. Shizune looked at them with a hint of jealousy, which Anko caught. "You want to join?" Anko asked the medic nin. Shizune blushed then proceeded towards the two.
Flashback end
Naruto was standing at the gate with Jiraiya beside him looking at Tsunade, Shizune, Anko, and Ayame. "Make sure you come back strong otouto, and don't become a pervert." Tsunade said, approaching the younger blonde and hugging him. "Please, stay safe.
"I will, when I return, I'll be one major badass." Naruto responded. Tsunade stepped back as Ayame approached the blonde and gave him a bento and some ramen cups.
"Make sure you come back, ichiraku's wouldn't be the same without you." Ayame said, kissing the blonde on the cheek and backing up.
Shizune approached Naruto and gave him a hug. "Please be careful and train hard."
"Come on Shizune-chan, give him a kiss and not on the cheek. You heard the letter. C.R.A! Don't worry I'll share but only with you and maybe a certain ramen girl." Anko said, glancing at a blushing Ayame.
Shizune was blushing as hard as Naruto. She contemplated this for a bit. She had a crush on the blonde for helping her master and his big heart. Plus he was fun to be around. But what impressed her was how selfless he was, even though the Uchiha tried to kill him, he was willing to bring him back for Sakura, a bitch (in her opinion.) who treated the blonde like scum and always hit him. That spoke a lot about the blonde. After giving it some thought, she brought Naruto's lips to hers, moaning in the process. When she pulled back, they both were blushing. "I guess I'll see you later." Shizune said, rushing behind Naruto.
Anko approached Naruto with a seductive smirk. "I can't wait to see what kind of man you turn into." She said before shoving her tongue down his throat,causing Naruto to turn red. Anko pulled back and had a sad smile, which surprised Naruto. "I'll miss you." Anko said hugging the blonde
"Me too." Naruto said, returning the hug. After his last goodbye. Naruto and Jiraiya left on their journey. The women stood there for a while before Anko broke the silence. "Want to go to the sauna? The others nodded and proceeded.
Leaf hot sauna
Sakura was sitting in the hot water thinking about Sasuke. She still couldn't believe Sasuke would leave the village, leave her. Her face turned to anger when she thought about her other teammate, Naruto. He promised to bring Sasuke back to her and failed. 'I should've known he would fail. After all, Naruto could never beat Sasuke.' She was snapped out of her thoughts when Tsunade, Anko, and Shizune walked in. "Tsunade-sama, Shizune-san, Anko-san."
"Hmm? Oh Sakura, hope you don't mind if we join you?" Tsunade said. Shizune nodded but Anko turned her head from the pinkette. The three sat in the water and relaxed. "Ahhh, this is nice."
"So Tsunade-sama, have you thought of my request?" Sakura asked nervously.
Tsunade closed her eyes and frowned. "I'm not gonna lie. I was going to say no but someone special to me convinced me but if you slack off, you're done." Sakura nodded gratefully. But her next words start a problem with a certain snake mistress and medic.
"Thank you, Kami knows I can't trust Naruto, that baka needs all the help he can get. I was a fool to believe." Sakura said, folding her arms.
"It's funny how you can complain about being the weakest link. I seen you fight, you seem like the one who needs all the help." Anko snapped. Sakura's eyes widened but before she could say anything Anko continued. "Pathetic fan-girl, I'm surprised you think that high of yourself."
"Why are you getting mad at me?" Sakura asked.
"Because you're a shallow bitch, do you even wonder why you remained in the village, even though other genin in your class went on a retrieval mission? Because you're dead weight, you have no right to talk about Naruto-kun, especially considering he could beat you and the emo. If you want to bark, back it up."
"Well, if Naruto-baka is so great, how come Sasuke-kun got away?" Sakura said with venom toward the snake mistress. But instead of Anko, someone else answered.
"It's because he held back." Sakura turned to Shizune. "If Naruto-kun fought seriously, he would've killed Sasuke but because of his promise, he held back while the Uchiha tried to kill him."
"Sasuke-kun will never do that!" Sakura yelled.
"I can't listen to this happy anymore, my brain cells are dying every time she opens her mouth ." Anko said, getting out of the water. "You wouldn't be saying that if you saw Naruto-kun's injuries but you're just a delusional fan-girl living in some fantasy. See you later zune-chan, Tsunade-sama." Anko said glaring at the pinkette.
"What's with her?" Sakura asked, looking at the way Anko left.
"Let's just say she and Naruto had a similar past. If anything, she's Naruto's true friend." Shizune answered , holding back the anger in her voice from the pinkette disrespectful words towards her favorite blonde.
"I'm Naruto's friend as well. After all, we're on the same team." Sakura responded.
"You may think that but Naruto doesn't." Tsunade said.
"What do you mean?"
"When he was in the hospital, no one visited him besides Anko, Shizune, Ayame, Jiraiya, Gaara and his siblings. It's funny too, Naruto was the one who said i should train you and he you are, ungratefully insulting your teammate. Meet me in the morning, we'll begin your training and if you cry, give up or complain, you're done." Tsunade said before leaving with Shizune.
Later that night,
"Are you Tsunade?" Fukusaka asked. He was summoned by a toad Jiraiya left with Tsunade.
"I am, while i believe jiraiya is a capable teacher. His judgement is another thing. So when you think Naruto is ready, I'll give you permission to start his sage training. With the Akatsuki, we shouldn't take any chances. Check in on them and proceed when he's ready. I gave him some family scrolls and he knows the secret of kage bunshin."
"Sign, I don't like going behind Jiraiya-boy's back but it's better than Naruto-boy dying. Alright, I'll give them a year and train him then." Tsunade nodded as the frog disappeared. "First there's Anko, Shizune and Ayame. Hmm, Naru-chan deserves a little more. Temari is a nice girl and Yugao could use a little love after her fiance's death. Soon the clan will be back in power and the civilian council along with those old bags can kiss their ass goodbye."
