"Hey, Itachi?"

"Yeah?"

"How much do you think that we could get for these?" Kyuubi asked, his face the picture of mischief. Itachi looked at him.

"I dunno, since they're the first ones, I'd say at least fifty dollars, a piece."

"Really? I was thinking seventy five."

"Oh?"

"Yeah, girls will pay a lot for this kinda stuff. We are holding pure gold my friend." Kyuubi said, waving the hand holding aforementioned gold around. This revealed a pile of pictures of Sasuke and Naruto making out. Now, why were Kyuubi and Itachi debating how much girls would pay to get their hands on digitized hotness you may ask?

It all started a few days ago.

- - -Flashback- - - (A few days ago)

"Come on Naruto, I already know. I want to really spar, not feel like I'm beating you up." Sasuke complained as he swung a fist at the blonde.

"Fine, you want me to try?" Naruto asked. Then, suddenly, Naruto was behind him. He spun around just in time to see a golden lock disappear. The next thing Sasuke knew, he was lying on his back, Naruto straddling him, a kunai pressed to his throat.

"Checkmate." he purred softly. Sasuke did his best to remain calm and dignified, despite being pressed to the ground. He actually managed to do a fairly good job at it to. "So," Naruto whispered, his breath ghosting Sasuke's ear. "Do I get a gold star?"

Naruto's lips moved across Sasuke's face and gently touched his mouth. Sasuke didn't think that this merited a reply, so he took the opportunity to lean forward and capture Naruto's lips in a searing kiss.

Despite that it was a very very nice kiss, they still should have heard the pounding that was the sound of hundreds of fangirls, who had heard from an unmentioned yet reliable source that Uchiha Sasuke had been seen heading that way.

When the branches of the clearing were all pushed to the side, a dead silence fell over the clearing, with the exception of the gentle smack their lips made as they parted. Naruto looked up uncertainly, eyeing the fangirls warily.

"Um, hi?" he tried. Luckily for him, the fangirls had matured as well, and instead of being driven to homicidal rage by the sight of the two legendary rivals snogging, as they had been when they were all eleven, they were instead driven to create a new and almost more horrifying fan club. The fan club dedicated entirely to the worship and protection of SasuNaru

- - - End Flashback- - -

Since then, the progress these fangirls had made in the village could only be described as remarkable. In fact, they had taken it upon their selves, despite Naruto and Sasuke's kind reassurance that it was really not necessary, and their less kind reassurance that it really was not wanted, they continued. In a mild manner of speaking.

To be more frank, they had built an entire shop dedicated to Sasuke and Naruto, which had previously been a Sasuke shop, and had sold plushies of Sasuke, and fake ID cards with Mrs. Uchiha on them. Now the store was filled with Naruto dolls that sat right next to, and sometimes on top of, the Sasuke plushies. They were also paying big money to anyone who could get pictures of the two, and all the resident artist had abandoned all previous projects, and begun to draw the first fanart.

Which was why Itachi and Kyuubi were debating the price they could get for their pictures, as none of the fangirls had been able to get any, these would be the first actual picture in Konoha, with the exception of the one girl who had brought a camera while chasing Sasuke, and had managed to get a picture of the forest scene, although the view was somewhat obscured by the red-head that had been in front of the camera at the time.

"How 'bout we just take these pictures down the shop and see how much we get, hm?" Kyuubi suggested after a bit. That agreed upon, Itachi donned his genjutsu's like he had his cloak, and Kyuubi's ears and tail absorbed them selves into his body.

The girl who had greeted them at the door, clearly wondering why two grown men were at her yaoi shop. When Kyuubi held up a folder labelled 'pictures' she had nodded, her face lighting up with glee. She had gestured for them to follow her, leading them through a room filled with books, for that was what the store was to all outward appearances, unless one went through to the back room, guarded by an orange bead 'door' that had been black. This back room was painted dark blue as a souvenir from its days as a Sasuke shop.

She led them through this, past the eyes of the fangirls who were watching the with curious eyes, through a part of the wall that apparently doubled as a door, to another room, this one plain, looking the same as any corporal office.

The girl, Hikaru, sat down at the desk, her deep green hair hidden in a bandana.

"Now, I hear that you two have something for me?" she asked calmly, as if she did this everyday, which she actually might. In reply, Kyuubi took the envelope and spread picture on her desk. Hikaru's eyes widened, as did her grin.

"I see." was all she said as she contemplated the picture thoughtfully. "How much?"

"One hundred." Kyuubi said

"Each." Itachi added. Hikaru's eyes gained a new level of respect.

"Twenty five." she countered. They had been prepared for this that was the reason they had named such a high price.

"Eighty."

"Thirty."

"Seventy-five."

"Forty."

"Sixty five."

"Fifty."

"Fine." They shook on it; Hikaru put the picture in their envelope and quickly unlocked a safe, placing the envelope inside. Kyuubi and Itachi's eyes widened at the vast amounts of locks placed on the safe. She saw their look and grinned.

"You can never be to careful." she carefully counted out the money and handed half to each of them. "Nice doing business with you two."

13131313131313131313131313

"You know, we probably shouldn't have done that."

"Done what?"

"Sold pictures of Naruto-kun and Sasuke to rabid yaoi fangirls."

"I suppose. Why? Do you feel guilty?"

". . . no."

"Me neither. Well, I did, then I remembered how much money we had made."

"Yeah, same. The only thing I'm worried about the two of them finding out." Itachi said, before they both blanched in fear. Despite the fact that Kyuubi was the most powerful deamons and Itachi may be the most feared Akatsuki member (whatever the reason) they were still terrified of the thought of what the couple would do to them if they ever found out that they had been sold out to the fangirls of Konoha. And whatever fangirls of other villages that would come.

131313131313131313

Even though Sakura hadn't been a member of the fangirls that had found them snogging, it was inevitable that she find out. She had, after all, known Naruto for six years (the years before the had been team-mates didn't count) and stalked Sasuke for 5, (she had stalked him for two years prior to being on his team, then givin up three years later. )

She had seen the way that they had acted around each other for the past two and a half weeks and had finally confronted them on it.

"You two are dating?" she shrieked, with the same shrillness that the two of them had thought, and hoped, were lost with her fangirl days.

"Um, yes?" Naruto said hesitantly, as Sakura loomed over the two of them, her eyes glowing. She opened her mouth and Sasuke and Naruto flinched a bit, thinking that she was going to release inner Sakura.

"That. Is." they inched back "So Great! Finally!" she squealed, before throwing her arms around the two in front of her. "So Sasuke, when did you figure it out, Naruto has liked you for ages!"

"Huh?" Naruto asked, looking at her in shock "You knew?"

"Yes, of course I knew. A girl knows these things." She said with pride. Naruto repressed a snort; she still hadn't figured out that he had strength equal to or greater than an Anbu. Sasuke elbowed him, as he saw no reason that he should be punished if Naruto pissed Sakura off.

But if Sakura, who had known them for most of their life, reacted like this, how terrifying would the fangirls be? They both blanched in terror. Fangirls were among the most terrifying sub-species known to men. Especially hot, gay men.

If only is could have stayed that fangirls were the only thing they had to fear.

1313131313131313131313131313

"Hokage-sama! The village is under attack!" The Anbu burst into Tsunade's office. He sweat dropped when he saw the Hokage jerk up, ink on one side of her face, spelling out the new law she was supposed to be passing.

Tsunade, like the true leader she was, leaped to control the situation. "Huh?"

The Anbu who were waiting outside the door fell over. Some Hokage. . . Why had they chosen her again? Oh right, because she was one of the three legendaries. They really had to rethink this 'picking your legends' thing, one of their legends was a huge perv, the other a homicidal lunatic and the third was. They glanced at the blonde by the desk, her.

They were in such trouble. They were all going to die. This was the most powerful ninja that they had. And Sound had Orochimaru, whose face was ink free. Not to mention all their other super powerful ninja.

"Orochimaru is here, attacking!"

"He's WHAT!"

131313131313131313

Ring Ring

"Whats that?"

"Ring Ring

"Naruto is that your phone?"

"Naruto has a phone?"

RING RING

"Oh, yeah, now that you mention it. . ." Naruto said, reaching into a fluffy orange pocket and pulling out a white razor phone. Sakura's mouth dropped open; she had been trying to get her hands on one of those for ages.

"WHAT?" Naruto yelled, causing both of his former team mates to wince, used to as they were to his yells. He closed his phone.

"Problem. Orochimaru's here."

"He, what, wait, how come you're the first to know?" Sakura demanded. Naruto looked sheepish.

"Sakura, I haven't been exactly honest with you." Naruto said, scratching his head in his trademark nervous gesture. Sakura tapped her foot, her arms crossed threateningly over her chest.

"Oh?" she said, speaking volumes in one word.

"Yeah, you see, I'm the White wolf Anbu. And since we have a crisis on our hands, I got to go. Bye." The next second, Naruto was wearing an Anbu costume, complete with mask, and Itachi and Kyuubi were at his side.

"Who! Wha? Sasuke, he looks just like you!" Sakura exclaimed, looking back and forth between the people surrounding her. "Tell me what the hell is going on! Who are they! And where did you get that mask?"

"Sorry Sakura, I have to deal with this, I am, after all, the Anbu captain." With those words, Kyuubi and Itachi put his hands on his shoulder and all three of them vanished. Sakura rounded on Sasuke, who was mentally cursing his boyfriend for leaving him to explain.

"Um, Sakura, didn't Naruto say that Orochimaru was here. Heh, heh, bye." he said, leaving Sakura staring after a retreating trail of dust. Sakura sat down hard.

"What just happened?"

131313131313131313

Naruto appeared in the Hokage office with Kyuubi and Itachi in his genjutsu now. Due to the link that still connected Naruto and Kyuubi, Naruto had been able to call Kyuubi, to have him appear instantly at his side. The reason the barrier around the Hokage office had not kept them out was that because they had been touching Naruto, they had been able to pass through just like he had been able to.

Already arranged in her office were all of the other Anbu, as well as the high ranking jounin, such as all the former rookie 9. That was one of the reason that Naruto was still though of as a chuunin, it made his absence at this sort of thing inconspicuous.

"Choose your squad and the other squad leaders." Tsunade said, all the dignity of a Hokage around her, though it was still slightly less commanding than it might have been due to the ink on her face.

Naruto opened his mouth to answer before Sakura rushed in, panting.

"Sorry Hokage-sama, I was, um, held up." she said quickly. She stared at Naruto and his companions, and wondered vaguely where the Sasuke look-alike had gone, and where this tall, golden eyed guy had come from. She was about to open her mouth to ask, when her brain finally caught up with her.

If Naruto hadn't told her, his own team-mate, of his secret, he would hardly want others to know. She would keep quite for now.

"White Anbu, you're squad assignments, please." The Hokage said, as Naruto had been watching Sakura warily to see what she would do. She winked at him and he visibly relaxed.

"Alright. I want their to be four squads. I will lead the first one, the second will be lead by Shikamaru, the third by him," he gestured to Kyuubi, "The fourth by him." he motioned to Itachi .There were several startled noises.

"Who are they?" was the loudest and most frequent.

"That is of no importance, I trust both of them with my life and they will lead you well." 'After all,' he added to himself, 'Itachi was an Anbu captain himself and Kyuubi led a score of deamons before. . . Everything'

"Alright." Tsunade said, "Chose your squads, leaders."

Naruto spoke first "Uchiha Sasuke." 'Big surprise' Tsunade thought. The way squads were chosen was much like choosing teams in school, each captain chose on at a time until everyone had been chosen

"Yamanaka Ino." came from Shikamaru. They continued in this manner until everyone had been chosen. The final teams came out to be

Naruto: Sasuke, Sakura, Neji and other random ninja's

Shikamaru: Ino, Chouji and Shino and other random ninja

Kyuubi: Hinata, Lee, Kakashi (who was quite sure that he had been winked at and felt confused and a bit disturbed by this) and other ninjas

Itachi: Kiba, because no one else would take him, Tenten, because she was always forgotten, a girl named Hikaru, who he had sold the pictures to, and other random ninja's.

"Alright you guys, lets go!" Naruto said, leading his own squad out of the room , the other's following. Sakura was in a sort of shock, was this Naruto? He seemed like such a different person. And she had actually met the White Wolf Anbu, and he was nothing like Naruto. How was this possible. . . ?

However, she didn't have time to be confused, they had bigger fish to fry.

Or snakes.

13131313131313131313131313131313

Thy spent the rest of the day and most of the night battling. Sakura, as the only medic nin, had her hands full keeping people healed enough to fight. Luckily, the Konoha nin were fast and did not get injured often.

One by one the Sound nins fell, each person defeated by one or another of Konoha's skilled ninja's. Kyuubi was the one who killed Kabuto, Itachi killed a few of Orochimaru's top men. In the end, the only person left was Orochimaru. And he was fighting Naruto.

As the Sound nins fell, Naruto's fight began to draw a crowd. Who was this man, who they had already

thought strong, to be able to compete with the most powerful of the three legendaries.

Naruto was oblivious to the crowd, he matched Orochimaru evenly. At one point he didn't block Orochimaru's fist, which swung around to hit him square on the nose. Or where his nose would be had it not been hidden by a mask. A distinct cracking sound was heard, but the mask remained firm.

Sasuke started forward, intent on helping the blonde with his battle, but was stopped by an arm that had been thrust in front of him. He looked up to see Kyuubi, who shook his head.

"It's Naruto's fight. It's a fight that he needs to fight himself, need to win himself, having you there would only distract him."

Sasuke didn't remember much of the fight after that. He remembered wondering why Naruto didn't use his kage bushin, then realized that with so many people watching, it would be a dead give away to his identity. It was his signature move, after all.

He remembered that both of them had called out their animals, Orochimaru his snake and Naruto that frog. Then Orochimaru had said something and had attacked Sasuke out of nowhere. The next thing he had know, Naruto had thrust a chidori through the bastards stomach.

Orochimaru had fallen to the ground, in an almost slow motion type of death. Naruto had wiped his bloody arm off on his robes. The the crowd, that had been watching all this, stunned, slowly began to clap. Naruto had turned, shocked by the unfamiliar sound.

He reached behind his head to rub the back of his hair, as he always did when he was nervous.

This, though, jostled the broken mask. In almost slow motion the first part of the mask began to slip, although the sound was lost in the noise. As they all started to see what was going on, they leaned in, holding their breaths, as the second part of the mask fell, the shattering sound almost defining.

The mask of the one they had worshiped slipped away, revealing the face of the one they had always hated.

"Um, hi?" Naruto tried.

The crowd went nuts. Wht the hell was the deamon brat doing? How was he that powerful? WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON?

Tsunade saw this as her chance to step in. This was the perfect opportunity, the one that she had been waiting for, for almost 4 years.

"People, people, calm down!" she said, her voice bearing no arguments. The people quited, soothed by the presence of their Hokage.

"Well, I think, that it is clear form today that I am nit the strongest of the Konoha ninja's, and the Hokage has to be the strongest, am I right?" she asked, the people, unsure of where this was going, simply nodded.

"Alright, and it's quite clear, since I was the strongest and I was not able to beat Orochimaru, and Naruto was, that he is the strongest. He will be the new Hokage."

"WHAT!" Naruto yelled, shocked.

"You heard me brat, you're the next Hokage."

That was all it took for the villager to go berserk.

"You can't make that deamon Hokage, he'll kill us all!"

"He'll never be a good leader!"

"Are you insane!"
