"So, that's how the situation is." Naruto lay down his chopsticks to the right, pushed the bowl forward and used a handkerchief to clean his mouth.

"Oh..." If Sasuke was listening, he didn't show it. He was as stoic as ever, but even the great, fearless Uchiha Sasuke was afraid of this new Naruto. What happened to you? Naruto... He couldn't imagine what horrible things would change his ex-teammate so drastically. Well, whatever it was, he was glad he didn't suffer the same destiny as him. He had always hated perverts, and Naruto was giving some of the other customers weird looks.

"Is it really such a good idea, Naruto?" His other teammate asked worringly. She didn't know how to react to this big change. Lucky, though, she didn't seem to notice what was changed with him, or she probably would've given him a slap or two. Or three, depending on how much it hurt for her hand. "I mean, you hardly know each other."

"Yeah. Well, I just have to change that, then..." And drifted off, daydreaming. Neither of the other two really wanted to know what was in his mind, and Sakura got a hint or two what was wrong with him. "Hmm, I got to go," he said, looking at the clock on the wall. "I'll see you around." And with a classic poff, he was gone.


So this is how Jounins spar... He looked at the scene before him from the tree, where several of the villages Jounins sparred, everyone vs everyone. How lame.

He corrected himself to lie on his stomach on a treebranch, left arm hanging down while his head rested on the other, his legs on top of the same branch. He didn't have much to do, so he drifted to sleep.


Bonk. "Ouch…" Bonk, bonk, bonk. "Who the fuck…?" Who dares to wake me up?!

Naruto wasn't angry, no – he was pissed off! He hadn't gotten such a good sleep in months. "Itachi?" He looked at the weasel that woke him up. "… What are you doing?" He continued to look at the weasel, who in exchange looked at him with an equally dumb expression. Then, all of sudden, the weasel disappeared into thin air. "Oh no, you're not getting away this time…" Naruto said, and disappeared too.

Now, where can he be…? There! The little weasel had managed to take it's way into Konoha, and sprinted through the busy streets of the marketing place.

Then… it stopped. On top of a pair of melons, which was directly over various fruits. It was a stand, yes. It was trying to catch it's breath, or at least, that's what it wanted Naruto to believe. When he spotted the animal, he sneaked his way to it, and two meters away, took a big jump with his arms outstretched for trying to capture it, and landed in the fruit-stand, crushing all fruits beneath him. Of course, Itachi had set this up, moved away in time and was now standing upon Naruto's head. Laughing…?

"You… little… bug…" His face was redder than the morning sun a December-morning, and his rage could only be described as something more wicked than the demon he carried! "I'll skin you ALIVE, RAT!!" He screamed out in agony, and tried to catch it, but oh in vain… Then he saw two legs, two extraordinary beautiful legs, and his mind began to think of things that only the now (in)famous Konoha's Yellow Flash could think of. His inspiration was on top, and he had already forgotten all about the evil little bug named Itachi!

"Naruto? Is that you, Naruto?" The woman asked. He looked up… how beautiful. Her long, brown locks of hair belonged to an angel, he was sure of. Her lips was red and delicate, looked as if they were almost made of wine… he wondered how they tasted… then, his name was repeated, and he saw her mouth open and close. It was the most wonderful movement ever. Then, unfortunately, he didn't have time to look at her more closely, as he looked up to her eyes.

It was the most intense pair of eyes, and he began feeling lightheaded. He had never seen such beauty… or had he?

"Yes… yes, my name is Naruto." He answered, and stood up. His length hadn't changed drastically, and stood a few inches shorter than the brown-haired woman. "Who are you…? No, how do you know my name?"

He doesn't remember? "Kurenai. Yuuhi Kurenai."

Holy shit!


Author's notes/comments… whatever

Wow, it was really a need for a KurenaiNaruto-fic, no? 21 reviews for a crappy chapter, without Kurenai in it? Wow, I say, wow. I hope I'll do the pairing right.

Hmm, should I write longer chapters? I don't really feel comfortable in writing romance-stuff, but I guess I could make it longer, if you want… Either way, I really appriciate your opinions on what I could make better. Thank you.
