Author notes:

I'm tired of these stories either being too quick or too sexual or they change the characters so much it isn't the same character anymore.

Imma try and keep the characters the same and just switch up the scenarios.

This is my first ever story. Be as critical as ever, also I am lazy and if someone wants to help me write, it will save me a lot of time.

This story is inspired by "Closer" but I forget the author lol but you should find it since it's the same community.

Satsuki is sent on an mission. Naruto is left basically all alone by jiraya. I don't want him to be too involved so we'll just say that he's having the time of his life distracted by ladies. Maybe if I run out of ideas, I'll just include him. This is between the timeskip, but it's a couple months before Naruto returns to the village.

The man that is being assassinated, lets just call him tiki lol. Idk. Hes just some political leader on vacation in a place called, "Ebisa Town".

Ebisa town is a hot spot for tourism and nightlife is breathtaking. However, the town has an abundance of young women. Ik sorry bout that but that's how we get Jiraya to let Naruto run wild without him interfering. Sorry but it had to be done plot wise.

Naruto and Jiraya take the mission on the way to the town and decide to take it. Since its Jiraya, Tiki accepts willingly and offers a high reward. Satsuki was sent by Orichimaru (O for short) to assassinate him and gain experience.

Alright lets begin and enjoy lol

CHAPTER 3 IS A CRAZY GOOD CHAPTER! HURRY UP AND READ IT

"Man..what am I going to do?-" sighed Naruto. He was sitting on the ledge of a roof. There was a festival going on under him. Bright lights and lively people despite it being past midnight.

Naruto is simply surveilling the hotel that Tiki is staying at.

'…that damn perv…..I kinda wish something would happen…' a shooting star flies past Naruto but he doesn't notice.

_Flashback time_

3 days earlier…..

"OOOOO- hey naruto.". Jiraiya said, while walking on the street. Tons of people out and about looking at the giant white haired man.

"What is it?" Naruto sulked. Naruto remembers his 10 time in a row reoccurring Nigthmare.

"Imma go do some research for my next novel! Perhaps this is the breakthrough that I have been waiting for!" Jiraya giggled and blushing. Jiraya is seen doing some weird hand gestures lol.

"Sure. Knock yourself out. It's not like baldy is leaving his hotel any time soon. He's been inside for an entire two days." Naruto said depressingly. Droop walking along with jiraya.

Jiraya disappears within the crowd and Naruto only heard from him once every 2 days.

_End garbage flashback that forces Jiraya out of the plot_

{Satsuki POV}

She is jumping through trees elegantly. She is injured on her legs from fighting a group of Jonins prior to this. They had weapons covered in posion, but for Satsuki, she is immune to nearly all types of poison. 'Damn, to think they put a challenge. And the damn target is in the town of Ebisa' Satsuki thought. Then she spot the brightly covered town from a half a mile away. 'Finally, I've reached it! But, should I try to attack the target right now or wait until these injuries recover.' She thought while leaping. 'I'll just get a perimeter around the target and just play it safe.. Once I figure the location of the bodygurads and their movements. I'll just attack once I heal up fully. He is a rich political figure so he most definitely has top bodyguards.'

{cuts to Naruto}

'Why do boogers taste like that? Like how does that even form and why is it so salty?' Naruto thought. Then for some reason, he felt chills down his spine. 'it's….brrrr….so..colllddddd.. guess I better…move around a bit..' Naruto got up and starting walking on the tiled roofs. It made such a satisfying noise walking on them. Naruto decides to start stomping. 'hehe this feels oddly fun'.

Naruto almost let his guard down fully and ended up getting a kunai scratch a piece of his neck. 'tch..an attacker….' he performs shadow clone jutsu and 4 of them spread out looking for the suspect. Naruto makes another clone and tells him to find ero-sennin.

'waittt a second…that man just created clones of himself' Satsuki thought while hiding from a tree outside of the town.

Yes, she can't recognize Naruto even though he's wearing bright orange clothing BUT its nighttime, and the bright colors of the city makes everyone seem colorful. HAHa you thought you found a pothole! Nope!

'noooooo..it can't be! Why would that idiot be here of all places. I thought he was with Jiraya of the sennin….I have to get a closer look. Theres no way that's Naruto!' Satsuki drops down from tree and starts to head for the wall and drop down from it. 'hmmm..interesting, this town is packed with peop—no. women…no wonder the target is in this city. Its renowned for its nightlife and tourist attractions'

Satsuki goes to the corner of a wall and looks at clone 4 leap across roof tops. "tch..damn..*pant* *pant* why am I panting at a time like this" she whispered to herself. She has a feeling that shes being watched and doesn't know why.

'This part of the town seems eerily. It has more males in this side and its more quiet around here. Peaceful…'

"HEY! Yeee… you!"

"hm" Satsuki turned around to the person calling and replied.

"What's a beautiful lady like yourself doing in these back parts of the town..?" said some random white haired man.

"Get lost." Satsuki stared into the soul of the random man there.

"WHAT? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHERE YOU ARE? WE CONTROL THESE PARTS!" He shouted.. more men appeared and they had lustful eyes staring at her.

*Genjustsu* she activated her sharigan and goes crazy with it lol.

"HAAaaa!" "Whats HAPPPENING!" "STOP. STOP. STOPPP"

"waste of my time dammit!" Satsuki said to herself.

{Naruto}

'why cant I find the attacker! But at least I warned the hotel and they put him in a secure room.' Naruto standing on top of the hotel. Clone 1 comes back, then 2 then 3 then 4. They simply said-

"Found no one" puff. They disappeared.

Clone 5 was looking for Jiraya sensi but had trouble finding him in the giant crowds.

"Excuse me sir…umm sorry do you have- umm sorry to both—" Clone 5 trying to ask random citizens for help.

"Hi. Have you seen a tall white haired man around here?"

"White haired huh…..Wait.. I have! He went towards the Iza section.. For a boy your age, you should avoid it." Said some random simpleton citizen used for merely exposition lol.

"wha. Wait why? Im very strong btw."

"Man..these newer generations never listen do they?...Listen, crimes happen there a lot and you can get hurt. I think I saw him with a girl or chasing after a girl."

'Chasing a girl huh….thats definitely got to be pervy sage.'clone 5 thought as he headed towards that direction. Completely ignoring the random man simpleton used for merely exposition.

Clone 5 rushed past groups of women in dresses and all sorts of costumes. He bumps into the open market and corners of the walls. He goes past the big main streets and enters through the alleysways. He then notices a white haired man on the floor.

'Oh my god. I cannot believe this… who the hell is this idiot.' Clone 5 inspecting the knocked out body.

he notices...something out of the corner of his eye. A swift and agile shadow escaping with such speeds. 'THERE!" he leaps forward and chases after the shadow.

He kept chasing and chasing then...he sees a stare...

"ARGH!"- Naruto receives information from clone 5 that he may have the attacker. 'yes!' cracks knuckles and heads off from the rooftop.

{Satsuki}

'WHAT THE FUCK IS HE DOING HERE? WHY IS HIS SHITTY CLONES HERE!' She is furious right now. Yet, calm and controlled. she is reading herself for a fight!

'my hands and legs... why are they fidgeting? am i nervous? or has my injuries been more severe than previously thought.' She is staring into her hands while avoiding any human interactions nearby.

'To think, that clown was in this town during my mission. He is definitely going to interfere with my plans. He is so obessed with me.

if he continues to persist against me. Then I will kill him and permanently sever what minuscule bond he has of me.

Naruto leaves the hotel rooftop and rushes towards the outer parts of the brightly light town. 'tchh..I have to reach that spot quick! I think it might...be...'

'Her!' Naruto is closing in on the alleyways from the top and looking down.
He jumps down.

Naruto is surverying the area. There's garbage and trash cans everywhere. knocked out men on the ground...one lamp post, broken light. puddles on the floor.

He leaves and looks around the area.

{Satsuki}

"*panting* huuu...*cough* what the- why am i feeling wheezy? at a time like this." she whispered while moving stealthily across the alleyways. 'if that idiot is here then Jiraiya has to be with him somewhere...if I fight naruto then he will be alerted and head to me. I have to lay low...I cant let my emotions get the best of me and I kill naruto here.' She is grasping her chest while moving through, avoiding any signs of people whatsoever.

'Damn...I thought I found just disappeared so quickly.' naruto put his finger under his chin while chilling at the egde of some random building. 'Hey Brat.' 'Huh? what do you want Kurama?' 'listen..I normally would never speak to an annoying idiot such as yourself...But...that uchiha...She's definitely nearby. Do not let your guard down for even a second' 'HUH! how do you-' 'SHUT UP YOU BRAT! FOCUS AND DONT LOWER YOUR GUARD DOWN!' The kyubbi screamed in his mind.

Naruto finally gets serious and calms himself. He is focusing all his senses, he has to find her. 'If she isn't anywhere on top..the next spot is at the ground..' He jumps down and starts running. His body is moving on instinct, his nose somehow knows what direction to head to...

*Panting* 'AHhh...why am i like this? I need to find a hotel to stay at for now- it seems i have reached my limit..Now to just find a-' She stops in her tracks...The area she is in is near the town wall and surrounded by buildings. There are rats everywhere towards the trash and a couple plants around. the area is not lit up at all and has only glimpses of light coming from the main street.

Her eyes open wide and then squint. The atmosphere is intense. She stops panting and puts her hand on her blade holster. Naruto is standing straight up and his eyes is creeping up on every aspect of her body. He is left speechless and his mouth left gaped. he doesn't know what to say.

Her sharigan activates...it's a three-tomoe sharigan.

"...Satsuki..." he says lowly almost as a whisper.

"Naruto..." said calmly. No one dared to make a move.

Then naruto decides to make the first move. His serious intense state switched up immediately into happiness. He is smiling and his body is relaxing.

"heheh..It seems that I have finally found you!" he jeered. He put his hands behind his head.

"yee..it appears so." She is observing all her surroundings looking for any traps. Naruto realizes this...

"He's not here..."

"mhm? What are you talking about?"

"Jiraya sensi...He's not around here."

'What the- how did he know what I was thinking?' she thought.

"What? You expect me to believe that? And why wouldn't he be here? I thought you were training with him these past years.."

huff. Naruto sighed. "Ye I have been training with him but hes too busy dealing with the people of this town. I haven't heard from him until yesterday.." He sulked.

'hmm...this is naruto and I haven't seen him tell a lie to me once in my life...But if what he's saying is correct then...' She grabs her blade out and prepares to fight.

She smirks at him. "indeed. you baffle me sometimes. Naruto...You gave such precious information to the enemy and now I can fight without any worrys!" Shes in a defensive position but waiting to hear what he has to say before she goes on the offense.

"...Enemy? YOUR MY FFRIEND!" He stated angrily and puts his hands up to perform a shadow clone jutsu. Satsuki leaps forward and is using lightning chakra to her blade to increase power and speed. 'tch...' Naruto thought while summoning a clone. But he is too late to make a move. Satsuki speed blitzes him and stabs naruto in the left lung.

*cough* "aghha...*blood splats from his mouth* Wha-ghaah" Naruto grabbing the blade and tighenting his grip on it. "I told you..Naruto. I only spared your life the first time on a whim. This time is going to be your-" Satsuki notices that her vision is becoming blurry. She retracts her sword and sheaths it. She decides to run away but she is stumbling over and over with each step. *panting*"Why-is my body disrupted by the poison earlier" She said lowly. 'I have to leave right away. I have to spare his life again.' She is about to leap towards over the wall but gets grabbed by someone. It's Naruto's clone.

*cough**blood splattered* Naruto is clenching his chest. He is furious and notices her trying to leave again. 'COME ON BODY! MOVE! SHE'S ABOUT TO LEAVE...I CAN'T LET HER LEAVE THROUGH MY FINGERS AGAIN!' Naruto forcing himself to move and he dives towards her. It took all of his energy for that. (yes I just nerfed him).

Satsuki chidoris the clone and jumps up in the air but gets tackled by Naruto towards a building and crash inside. "Aghhh..."

Satsuki gets up but feels her body failing out on her. 'WHAT THE FUCK BODY! I NEED TO LEAVE! WORK DAMMIT!'

She is panting heavy and her sharigan changes to blank black state. "Why are you so obessed with me? You fucking loser!" *panting* She leaves the kitchen holding a kitchen knife and attacks him.

"YOUR MY FRIEND..IF I CAN'T SAVE A SINGLE FRIEND THEN I CAN NEVER BECOME HOKAGE!" He leaps forward with a kunai and attacks. They exchange a fury of slashes and one notable slash scratches his right cheek horizontally.

Naruto is gaining the advantage and is overpowering Satsuki. "Shut the hell up! Tired of your constant rambling. You haven't changed in two years! You are all talk and no bite." She then breaks through the window and leaps out. "Wait! where you going?" He follows her. He easily catches up to her and charges a rasegan and throughs it at the ground in front of her. Creating a small crator behind the building.

'Dammit. In like 30 seconds I am going to lose consciouness...' She is falling and then finally uses her trump card.

She activates her curse mark. Black marks form all over her left side of her face and body. So much chakra was flying through the air. "Satsuki..." 'To think you have created this much of a gap between me' Naruto is clenching his fists so hard that he is bleeding from it. "Satsuki!"

"NARUTO!"

She is then trading blow for blow against naruto. She then throws a kick towards his stomach and leaps onto the roof. She then pushes her luck and activates Curse Mark 2. The black flames engulf her entire body and her body changes completely. She grows wings and flys off the town. But shortly after flying right over the walls, she loses conscouseness and is seen crashing towards the forest near a small cabin.

Naruto sees this happening. 'She's in trouble, She was affected by something. Perhaps some type of poison...to think she fought while being under it's influence...She's-become too strong!' Naruto clenching his teeth hard. He barely was able to calm his nerves and he lept off. He is in bad shape as well. Satsuki had fried his insides badly with her lightning chakra amplifying the blade. He'll have to thank the kyubii for that.

He finds her and grabs her body up, carrying her in his arms. He then goes towards the cabin. It's abandoned and just one broken bed is there. He checks outside and it started to rain...'weird..why has it started raining?' Naruto put her on the broken bed, wondering.

(This is actually done by Satsuki. She was planning on releasing Kirin attack on Naruto and to bring upon its fullest potiental. She has to create tons of eletrical discharage in the air and rain. When she was use her lightning chakra she was also putting some of her chakra towards the sky to bring upon clouds and form lightning. This in turn caused rain and since Satsuki didn't discharge it into a form of attack. There are now thunderous storm clouds near the town.)

Naruto puts his hand to his chin. 'Hmmm-wait, I can just bring back her body to the village this way. With her there, things can finally go back to normal and I can finally have a friend and rival with me everyday.' He started smiling. He made his mind up and goes to grab her body and leans in.

*panting* "hughh..*breathing heavy* hguhhh-mhmmm" She groans at the slightest touch. Naruto stopped his actions and notices her new breathing pattern. He notices that she is very sensitive to his touch. His eyes open. He notices her messy yet silky long black hair. 'I wanna feel em' He runs his fingers through it. 'Whoa-why is it so soft and so light but how does it spike up tho?'. The blonde then realizes something. 'I can't take her home! If i take her home and she doesn't want to then I am no better than-ORICHMARU!-*grips bed very hard* who knows what he has forced her to do!' He then grits his teeth. He is in a bad mood just like that. 'That's it! All i have to do is; wait for her to wake up and then beat some sense into her until she agrees!' Naruto smiles and then fully picks up her. 'I need to take her to hospital. I do not know how to help her or what poison she has. But it's raining, and she can get a fever from it if we go-screw it. It's a risk for her to get help. Just hang in there Satsuki'. He rushes through the door and heads for the town.

(you thought you found another a loophole. Nope! Naruto's chest wound is healing fast. His innards have almost been fully repaired and his bleeding has stopped. He doesn't notice it or chooses to not notice it because his friend is in critical injury compared to him.)

Naruto arrives at the hospital.

"Quick! this women has been poisoned and is in danger!" He screamed at the lady at the desk. She responds quickly to the blonde.

"Okay. Just bring her down to the waiting room. A doctor will come immediately!" said the clerk. *Screams* The doctor screams as she enters the wide giant waiting room. "...Is..that Satsuki Uchiha!" The doctor is stunned and she is barely able to compose herself.

"mhm oh ye it is. Please help her! She is in danger!" The blonde replied with her still in his arms. "NO! That...Monster...is a dangerous criminal!" The black haired doctor replied while taking a step back. "She recently hurt a group of Jounins a couple days earlier! One of them is my husband!" She stated.

The blonde stunned and his eyes widens. He puts Satsuki down on a chair. "Please! She ISNT a monster! She's my friend! Even though she attacked your husband and his group. But did she kill any of them?" He begged and questioned at the doctor. She takes a step forward. Her hand is gripping each other in front of her. "tchh..."*sighs*She takes a deep breath and calms herself.

"my husband...he said that if she really wanted to, she couldve killed them. All of them are injured but none have a truly fatal injury besides broken bones." She is having trouble speaking. The blonde spiky thanks the lords on this luck. She hadn't killed any of them so he can finally convince the doctor to help.

Naruto then gets on his knees. "I am sorry for my friends attack. I will take any punishment in her place. Just..Help her this one time." He begs and slowly gets up. "Once she heals, I will change her! if I can't change her than I can never become...hokage."

Naruto stated confidently up until he said 'hokage'. He said it nervously. 'Can i really become hokage?'.

The doctor was left stunned. To think he would beg and accept punishment for his friend.

'he reminds me of you...I remember when you begged a doctor in a foreign nation to help me recover. That doctor saved my life and I decided to become a doctor after that. I used to be in a horrible place filled with war, but now I can help people and you and our kids.' The doctor thought and an unintentional smile appeared on her face.

She relaxes her body and heads towards him. "You do not need to do that. I will help your friend" She looks at naruto.

"Yes!" He jeers at her and puts his hands in the air. "Thank you so muc-" "Wait!...You have to make me a promise tho." She smirks at him.

"promise? sure, anything!" He states back at her.

"You have to promise me to change her completely...and to be by her side all the time, if you can't do that then I won't heal her." She states her deal to the blonde.

A big grin appears. "Of course! I will never go back on my word! That has been my ninja way ever since!" He is smiling so much. He has never been this happy in life ever since.

The doctor goes to her and with naruto's help go to a special room outside the facility and into a small building. Imma skip this part of the story because it's just naruto being worried and all. And im lazy right now.

Time skip to Satsuki waking up but she still needs to be hospitalized. Basically three hours from now. it is around like 4 in the morning.

{Satsuki pov}

"ughhhh...where am I?" She questions as she wakes up. She immediately notices Naruto sleeping on a chair and the room is clearly a hospital room. She deducts that she had too much of the dose of poison than her body can handle. She gets up off the bed but feels the intense pain all over her body. She falls to the ground. 'Damiit! I dont have time for this...I have to leave and find a hiding place.' Thankfully the idiot hadn't woken up and she notices her clothes and sword at the edge of the room.

*Her sharigan activate* 'he...He...HE... must be killed now! I need to sever this bond.' She unsheathes the blade and walks towards Naruto's sleeping body on the chair. 'tchh...that dream...naruto was begging someone to help him. Was that reality or what?' She remembers in her dream that naruto is begging someone to help his friend. 'It has been years since I had a vivid dream...which means, the dream was me listening to Naruto beg some doctor to heal me. That's the only reason why I am in a hospital.' Her deductions is correct as always.

Her hand is shaking alot. 'That idiot...why would he go so far for me. Why does he continue to go above and beyond just for me!' She stares all over his body. She notices that his right cheek has a horizontal scar. His clothes is ripped and there is a hole on the left side where she stabbed him. There's another giant scar on his chest. 'LOOK AT THE PAIN I CAUSE HIM! HE STILL DECIDES TO HELP ME! IF I WASN'T WEAKENED THEN I WOULD HAVE KILLED HIM DEFINIETLY!' She internally screams in her mind. She sheathes the blade back and changes her clothes.

A tiny small tiny super small upwards curve appears on her lips. 'I guess I have to repay my debt this time.' She opens the windows and leaps out.

"ughh" She verbally expresses her pain while leaping. She is sore all over her body. 'I will just find a hotel and lay low'. I need to fully recover before attacking the target. I only have 8 days to kill this tiki guy.' She enters a hotel and genjutsus the attendant and books a cheap hotel room and makes sure to have a do not disturb sign on her door. The attendant agrees takes her to her room and leaves acting like nothing happened.

Satsuki collapses on the floor immediately after. She crawls to the bed and sleeps.

Sleeping her pain away.
