Chapter 11: New News, New Travels

Naruto woke up with Hana in his arms, still sleeping soundly. He simply smiled, kissed her forehead, gently separated them so he could change, and leave the bedroom without waking her up. Once Naruto was fully clothed, he walked out of the bedroom and gently closed the door.

"No reason to wake up Hana-Hime from her rest" Naruto whispered to himself once the door was fully closed.

"So how did my daughter feel?" Tsume seductively whispered in Naruto's ear. "Was she better than me?"

Naruto turned around, put his arm around Tsume, and told her

"Nobody can replace you Tsume-Hime, just like how nobody can replace any of my other girls. That's because you each hold a spot in my heart that can't be replaced by anyone."

After saying this and seeing Tsume tear up with tears of joy. Naruto pulled Tsume's head closer to his and then stuck his tongue down her throat, with her following suit.

Tsume wanted Naruto and she wanted him now. But she knew that she had a promise to keep and she just couldn't go back on her word with her new Boyfriend. So she broke the kiss and asked Naruto

"Naruto-Kun, are you sure you wanna know about my ex husband?"

Naruto immediately turned from joyous to serious. He then nodded his head and said

"Of course."

Tsume took a deep breath and then began speaking

"His name is Chen Inuzuka. And as for how he looks, follow me"

Tsume then grabbed Naruto's hand and leaded him to the living room. Once they reached the couch, both sat down.

Naruto saw a bingo book on the table and wasn't surprised when Tsume grabbed it and opened it.

"Look" Tsume said turning the book around and showing Chen's photo to Naruto.

Seeing the photo of Chen made Naruto ball his fists (Chen looked like Teenage Kiba but with hair reaching his Spine, a Scar in the left side of his face, and Jet Black eyes. As for clothes he is wearing a Black Zip Jacket, a Grey Shirt underneath, and Blue Jeans).

"I swear Tsume-Hime, I will find this man and I will make him pay for what he's made you go through" Naruto seethed.

Tsume simply put a hand on Naruto's cheek rubbing his whiskers and softly said

"I know you will. I also know how you're not afraid to stand up for any of us, which is one of the reasons I love you so much Naruto-Kun."

Naruto simply put his own hand on Tsume's cheek, started rubbing that side of her face, and softly said

"I love you so much too Tsume-Hime"

Naruto and Tsume then engaged in a gentle and loving kiss. It held so much love and passion that they didn't care about anything else in the world right now. After a bit of this they began deepening the kiss and removing each other clothes gently, something they didn't do before. After both lost their shirts, they stopped.

"Why'd you stop Naruto-Kun?" Tsume asked.

"Because, I don't want Kiba to find yet" Naruto answered.

Tsume actually took a whiff of the air, widened her eyes at the realization that she was in so much bliss she didn't notice her son's scent, and asked Naruto

"Oh, how did you detect him?"

"I could very faintly hear his footsteps" Naruto answered.

Tsume puffed her cheeks in disappointment that she couldn't make love with her Boyfriend for the first time and put her clothes back, same with Naruto(First time because they weren't gentle last time). But exhaled a deep breath knowing that her Boyfriend was right. So before the door opened, she gave him one more quick kiss on the lips and stood up.

Naruto decided to Shunshin back home (Because he didn't wanna hurt Kiba by accident when Kiba would realize that Naruto and Hana had the same scent, sex) and shower. Once he was done, he walked out of his Apartment and instantly arrived to The Training Grounds.

Once Naruto arrived he decided to have a chat with an orange, furry, fox. So he put his hands together, built up Chakra, and entered his mindscape.

(Naruto's Mindscape)

Naruto was walking through a sewer system looking for the gate holding his sealed Demon. He knew where to go so finding it wasn't difficult, but trying to get The Fox to speak, definitely was.

"How are you Kyuubi? Feeling any better?"

The fox simply growled and turned his head.

"You're always like this, but I never cared. I can't imagine how it must feel to be trapped in a cage like that for years. But what I don't need to imagine, is the hate you get for just being alive."

The Fox turned to Naruto in surprise.

"There's always Two sides to a Story. Whether one or both are bad, there's still Two. So I wanna talk about your side of the Story. Why did you attack the village?"

The Fox simply turned his head and growled again.

"I always wanted to ask you this question, and I never thought you would answer it, looks like so far I was right. Just know Kyuubi, if you ever do wanna talk about what happened that day, you can always tell me."

Naruto then got up, brought his hands together, and was about to leave, when he heard Kyuubi ask in a deep voice

"You wanna know something? Something that nobody besides other Jinchuriki know? And I assure you, it's not about that day."

Naruto seperated his hands and said

"Of course. Because although this isn't about what I wanna know, at least Today you're actually speaking to me. So what is it?"

Kyuubi let out a deep breath and started laughing.

"What's so funny?" Naruto asked, confused.

Once Kyuubi calmed down, he answered Naruto by saying

"It's just that since you actually imprinted all your women, that means that they will not be able to die of age, just like you."

Naruto was hit with a pang of emotions, ranging from stress, to fear, to sadness from the mere thought of his women leaving him after he didn't warn then about this. But he looked back up to Kyuubi and with a shaky voice stammered

"W-what do you mean?"

"The Yamanaka, Hyuga, and Haruno will stay how they look once they reach the age of 18 for the rest of their lives unti they're either killed by sickness or someone else. As for the Inuzuka's, they will stay looking the age they are at the moment untill like the other girls, they're killed by a sickness or someone else. And another thing, if you are to ever have kids with these women, your kids will go through the same thing" Kyuubi explained.

"Damn, I just hope they don't hate me! I've gotta find them, now!" Naruto shouted, then immediately brought his hands together, escaped his mind scape, and rushed to go find the women he loves.

He found Ino in Training Grounds 10, and grabbed her by the waist.

Ino felt this and knew that it was her Boyfriend who did this (If she didn't then she would've beat the shit out of him, thinking that some guy was trying to make a move on her). So she returned the hug, by by turning around and hugging her Naruto-Kun. It was once she turned around that she noticed he looked dead serious, and regrettable.

So Ino looked him in the eyes and asked him

"What's wrong, Baby?"

"Ino-Hime I-I'm sorry" Naruto apologized.

"For what Baby? I love you there's nothing to apologize for."

"Th-there is Ino-H-Hime."

"What's wrong Baby, you can tell me anything, what's bothering you so much?"

"Ino-Hime, r-remember, the mark I gave you?"

"Of course Naruto-Kun. I could never forget it, it was the happiest day of my life when you marked me. But what's wrong with it?"

Naruto was having a hard time forming a clear sentence, as he was in a whirlwind of emotions at the moment, cuz he really didn't know what to think of this moment.

"Well, I j-just l-learned that bec-cause of the Fox inside m-me y-y-you" Naruto couldn't finish his sentence, so Ino interrupted him by saying

"Yes, what's wrong Baby?"

"Once you r-reach Age 18 y-you'll stop aging and stay that way for the rest of your life" Naruto finished in a very deep and raspy voice and with his head on top of Ino's head.

Ino was shocked by what she heard, but quickly shook it off, reached up, grabbed her Naruto-Kun by the back of the head, and slammed their lips together. After about a minute of this, Ino broke the kiss and that's when Naruto asked her

"Y-you don't hate me Ino-Hime?"

Ino simply smiled and said

"I think that kiss answeres that question. I wanna be with you Naruto-Kun and if that means being immortal then so be it, as long as I can live a long, happy life with you and have lots of kids with you."

"Ino-Hime" Naruto said quickly before pulling her back to him and slamming their lips together again.

Naruto however this time reached down, grabbed two handfuls of Ino's ass, and started kneeding it like his life depended on it (Despite her flat body).

Ino started feeling Naruto's chest and felt his hard abs and pecs through his sweater. And just kept rubbing them with her hands like it was the last time she ever could.

However, after a bit, they broke this off and Naruto said

"Thank you Ino-Hime, I'm so glad I accepted you, because you always give me the strength to keep going."

Ino simply quickly kissed him one last time on the lips and said

"Of course, because I know you will always do the same for me Naruto-Kun" Ino replied. "So go tell the others, because if they really do love you, like I do, then they won't let this get to them. And if they do let it get to them, then remember Naruto-Kun, you will always have me."

"Okay Ino-Hime, thank you" were Naruto's final words before vanishing quickly through sheer speed.

'As much as I want him for myself though, I know that I won't be able to fully replace all the others, so I'm hoping for the best for him' Ino thought.

(With Naruto)

Naruto found Hinata and Sakura in The Ichiraku Ramen Stand. He noticed that they were holding hands, but paid no attention to that and instead asked them both to meet him at Training Grounds 7. Once he told them this he rushed back to Ino, filled her in on everything he told the two other girls and she went with him to Training Grounds 7.

After a bit of waiting Ino and Naruto saw Sakura and Hinata right in front of them.

Sakura abd Hinata were a little jealous at the fact that Ino was holding onto their Naruto-Kun's hand, but left it alone and listened to what they had to say.

Naruto spoke up and once he was done explaining, both Sakura and Hinata looked at each other, smiled, and in unison asked Naruto

"Why would we hate you Naruto-Kun? This just means that we get to be a long a happy family."

After both of them said this, Naruto was about to treat them how he treated Ino, untill he felt one of both their hands on each side of his face. He could tell they had something to say, so he stopped himself, and listened to them.

"Naruto-Kun, we have something to tell you, but it would be easier if we just show you" said Sakura.

Naruto nodded in understanding, but was shocked when he saw Hinata grab both sides of Sakura's face and stick her tongue down Sakura's throat. He wasn't angry or anything like that, he was just surprised, he really never even thought about this. And once Hinata retracted her tongue from Sakura's throat, she turned to Naruto and asked him

"Did you understand?"

Naruto nodded and said

"Yeah and as long as you two don't have a problem with it, then neither do I."

"Oh Naruto-Kun!" The two girls yelled in unison before glomping Naruto to the ground and planting multiple kisses all over his face (This was because they were so happy that he didn't hate them for loving each other that way). They would've ripped his clothes off had they not realized that they should take a break from the sex since Naruto still had to tell Tsume and Hana about the somewhat immortality (Naruto explained in full detail what they had, so Ino wouldn't be confused and could understand as well). So the girls seperated from Naruto and Naruto rushed to Tsume's home.

Once Naruto arrived at the House, he knocked on the door vigorously (Because he didn't sense Kiba). After just a bit Tsume opened the door.

"Naruto-Kun, what's wrong, do you wanna go a round with me?" Tsume said with a grin on her face.

Naruto didn't answer her though and instead grabbed her by the hand and walked to Hana's room. Once the door opened, Hana could still be seen in the bed unconscious. And Naruto knew a rather pleasurable way to wake her up, which he was pretty sure is the way she wanted to be woken up. So he let go of his hold on Tsume's wrist, walked over to Hana, and stuck his tongue deep down her throat. Due to the lack of oxygen, Hana awoke. But once she saw that Naruto stuck his tongue down her throat, she wrapped her arms around the back of his head, and deepened the kiss between them, whilst of course returning it.

Tsume started getting jealous from seeing her Boyfriend exploring her Daughter's oral caverns. So she separated Hana's arms from Naruto's head, grabbed Naruto's head, and started exploring his own oral caverns.

Hana was getting jealous for the same reason Tsume did, but because it was her Mother. But right as she was about to do the same thing as her Mother, Naruto broke the kiss with Tsume.

This actually hurt the Inuzuka Matriarch quite a bit, since he didn't break the kiss he had with Hana but did with her, not just that, but his kiss with Hana lasted longer than his kiss with her. So of course, Tsume got worried.

"Wait, what'd I do wrong Naruto-Kun, was it not as good as before!" Tsume frantically asked.

"No Tsume-Hime, the kiss was fine, it's just that I have something to talk with the two of you about" Naruto answered.

After explaining the situation with the two women they simply laughed, and once they calmed down, Tsume asked Naruto

"Why would we hate you for that Naruto-Kun?"

Hana then continued by saying

"You didn't know and even if you did know, that wouldn't be enough to make us hate you. We love you too much to hate you over something as small as being somewhat immortal."

Naruto then replied with tears in his eyes and a shaky voice

"I don't know what I've done in life to deserve such fine women like the Five of you, but I sure am grateful for it."

Tsume and Hana simply smiled and blew Naruto a kiss. Naruto returned this and then told both Inuzukas

"I love you both dearly."

And slowly walked away.

Hana whispered to Tsume

"Kaa-Chan, now's your chance, go and get him."

Tsume simply replied with

"As much as I want to, he's not in the right state of mind at the moment. Until he is, then I think it's for the best we stop entirely for now."

"Oh ok" Hana said back.

(Back With Naruto)

Naruto walked around the Village for a bit (In order to calm himself down and think straight) and ended up bumping into someone.

"My bad" Naruto apologized.

""No it's my fault, I'm sorry... Naruto?" Said/asked the person.

"Neji? Hey how's it been man, I heard you and Tenten hit it off" Naruto said while nudging Neji.

"Yes, we are officially Boyfriend and Girlfriend now" Neji assured Naruto.

"That's great for you guys. It's nice to see that you're no longer the same angry, depressed, and pessimistic Neji you were when we first met years ago" Naruto told Neji.

"I was rather angry because of the Cages Bird Seal before, but thanks to you, I don't feel I have to worry about it. And if Lady Hinata was to be with anyone, I'm glad that it's you, the biy who saved her Years ago from a Kumo Ninja" Neji assured Naruto.

(Flashback, 6 Years Ago)

Naruto was walking walking around the village since he just got done with his first day of training with The Third Hokage. But after a few steps he thought

'Why not talk to Hinata? She might be asleep though, well it won't hurt to see.'

And so he began walking to the Hyuga Compound. After a few steps into the Compound, he heard the wooden tiles squeaking. He thought it was just a Hyuga and paid no mind to it, so he continued with traveling until reaching Hinata's window. But once he got to her window he saw that a Man came into Hinata's bedroom and was trying to put her into his large backpack. Immediately after deeing this Naruto broke the window to Hinata room and attacked the man attempting to steal Hinata

All it took was one right hook from Naruto to catch the man off guard and bring him to the ground (The man was still conscious), where he proceeded in kicking and punching the man, utilizing everything that his Jiji taught him that dau.

"What the hell!" Yelled the man before bringing out a Kunai and attempting to stab Naruto, only to fail and get his Kunai taken away from him and used against him.

Naruto took the Kunai from the Man's hand and stabbed him in the throat as a way to instantly kill him (Hiruzen told him about the vital spots to stab in the human body).

After all was said and done, multiple Hyuga in that compound, woke up and busted open Hinata's door. And once they opened it, they saw a man dead on the ground and Hinata being placed and tucked into bed by a whiskered blonde boy. The boy was visibly shaking and the Hyuga understood why. After all, what little kid wouldn't be traumatized from killing a Man.

Hiashi, Neji, and Hizashi walked into the room, saw the dead Kumo Ninja, and saw a shaking Naruto tucking Hinata into bed.

"Did this kid really kill that Kumo Ninja?" Was the question being asked amongst all the Hyuga, except Hiashi, Hizashi, and Neji who continued to just stare in surprise.

But then once Hiashi snapped out of it, he looked at the Ninja that was killed, and saw that it was wearing a mask. So he took the mask off and saw that it was one of the men who signed a peace treaty between the Hyuga and Kumo. He along with every Hyuga there was visibly angry, but then he exhaled a sigh of relief, and realized one thing.

'Kumo can't do a thing about this, because they started it and a little boy who isn't even a Ninja, ended it (Since a little kid killed the Kumo Ninja and not a Ninja, there was nothing Kumo could do).'

(Back to Present Day)

"Im just glad I was able to save the woman I grew to love" said Naruto with happiness in his eyes at the mere thought of his Hina-Hime.

"Naruto, just remember, if you hurt her, I don't care if you saved her before or not, I will hurt you" Neji warned.

"Don't worry, I would never hurt my Hina-Hime" Naruto reassured Neji.

"Good" Neji said before walking off.

'Oh, I need to find Konohamaru!' Naruto realized and rushed to Training Grounds 7.

When he got there, none of his Hime were there anymore. He let out a breath of both relief but also disappointment. He was relieved that they left, so he could train Konohamaru alone, but he really wanted to give them all one quick kiss before starting his training with Konohamaru. But he shook it off and waited for Konohamaru. It only took a few seconds before Konohamaru came walking with struggle to the Training Grounds.

"Alright Konohamaru you're here" Naruto said as he appeared in front of Konohamaru. "Today I'm gonna teach you how to adjust yourself to those weights and thus become much faster."

"Alright, lets do this Onii-Chan!" Konohamaru said with determination in his eyes.

(With Itachi)

Itachi was making his way to the Hokage Tower in order to speak with Tsunade. Once he arrived in front of her door, he knocked until she let him come in.

"What's wrong Itachi, what's the reason you came here?" Asked Tsunade as she was signing paperwork.

"I have some knowledge about the Nine Tails that you need to know" Itachi replied.

"What is it?" Tsunade asked.

"The attack Eleven Years ago, it was caused by a man claiming to be Madara Uchiha" Itachi said.

Tsunade dropped her paperwork and looked at Itachi with wide eyes. She then asked him

"Wait, he's still alive?"

"I don't know if it really was Madara, but either way, that feat proves that this Uchiha, whether he is Madara or not, is nothing to take lightly."

"I understand. But what do you want me to do about it?"

"It's not what I want you to do about it, it's what I want Naruto to do about it."

"What do you mean?"

"Well I don't know of a way to get Sasuke to unlock his Mangekyou Sharingan other than a tragedy. But I will work on it."

"What does this have to do with Naruto" asked Tsunade.

"Well" Itachi started. "Naruto's Nine Tails, it can be befriended."

Tsunade couldn't believe what she was hearing and asked Itachi

"How?"

"That I don't know. But maybe it's something only Naruto can figure out alone, what I want you to do is tell Naruto to go on a Training trip with Jiraiya for Three Years. Because maybe with that much time, Naruto will be able to befriend the Nine Tails and grow strong enough to combat Madara Uchiha, should the time come" Itachi explained.

"But then who else can protect this village with those two out of the picture?" Tsunade asked.

"I will, currently counting those two, I am the most powerful Ninja in the Village, so I should be able to protect it, as long as Madara or Pain don't invade" Itachi said.

"Ok, I'll let Naruto know right away Itachi."

"No Lady Tsunade, not yet at least."

"Why not?"

"Because, he still has a mission that was given to him by The Third Hokage. He also feels like he has to accomplish at least half of the missions the Third Hokage wanted done that didn't he didn't get the chance to assign. And you know as well as I do what'll happen if we assign him to a Three Year Training Mission when he didn't get the chance to honor his old Sensei" Itachi explained with a question in the end.

"He will be too depressed to even be able to train" Tsunade answered.

"Yes, which is why you'll have to give him time to finish at least more than half of the missions that weren't able to be assigned by The Third Hokage" Itachi clarified.

'And not to mention he's gonna need time to leave his Himes' Tsunade added inwardly. "I understand."

"Thank you."

And with no other words spoken, Itachi left the office.

(Back With Naruto)

Naruto was helping Konohamaru get the hang of using the weights by having him do workouts that required him to move, but still let him take breaks of course.

"Alright, take a break for now Konohamaru" Naruto said.

"Alright" Konohamaru said out of breath. "Hey Onii?"

"What is it Konohamaru?" Naruto asked.

"Well since you have Girlfriends, can you help me with asking out this one girl I really like?"

"Sure, what's her name?" 'I bet it's Moegi.'

"Hanabi Hyuga" Konohamaru answered.

Naruto was shocked to say the least after hearing that name, simply because, he really thought it was gonna be Moegi. But nevertheless, he let go that he was wrong and asked Konohamaru

"What attracted you to her?"

"She's strong, beautiful, smart, and the top girl of the Class, second only to me" Konohamaru's answered.

"What else?"

"Well whenever the class has sparring sessions, she would always use a stick she finds on the ground to tie her hair, it's simply breathtaking to me. And then whenever she would win the whole division, which was always. She would untie her hair, and the sight of her hair cascading down her face always made me think of the beautiful rain drops. Another reason is how whenever we're outside, I could always see the sparkle in her eyes from the Sun. And lastly, her complete confidence whenever she would answer a question" Konohamaru explained.

"I see. Well just try to work up the strength to ask her out."

"And how do I do that?"

"That is something you'll have to figure out on your own" Naruto assured Konohamaru.

"Well how did you Onii?" Konohamaru asked.

"I managed to work up the courage to ask Hinata out after defeating Gaara."

"You mean the boy with red hair, dark bags under his eyes, and no eyebrows?"

"Yeah. But that was how I worked up the courage, you need to figure out your own way. And trust me, if you do manage to work up the courage and she accepts you, it's gonna be the best feeling of your life."

"Okay, I'll try to work up the courage but for now, let's train some more Onii."

"You got it."

(With Hinata)

Hinata entered her compound after having walked around the village after having had spoken with Naruto about the aging problem. She didn't care that she couldn't die by age, but was sad to know that her sister and family members would, which was why she had to take a walk around the village. Eventually, she realized that whilst she would lose her mortal family she would gain a somewhat immortal family in return. So she decided to toss it aside for now (The only two that felt this way were Hinata and Ino. Sakura didn't care about her parents due to their rejection and attitude towards Naruto and both Tsume and Hana had each other) and focus on today.

"Onee-chan!" Shouted Hanabi in joy.

Hanabi jumped up and hugged Hinata tightly.

"Good to see you too Hanabi" Hinata said happily.

"I heard Whiskers was with you today."

"Yeah I was, what about it?"

"Did you two go on a date yet?" Hanabi asked.

"No we haven't, why?" Hinata wondered.

"Well you know that boy that he trains?" Hanabi said while blushing.

"Konohamaru?" Hinata asked. 'I see where this is going, I recognize that blush anywhere because it's the same one I always had for Naruto-Kun'

"Well" Hanabi started.

"You like Konohamaru don't you?" Hinata finished.

Hanabi's face flushed, but she nodded her head anyways.

"Aww, cute" Hinata said. "So what made you fall for him?"

"Well he's handsome, fearless, strives to prove his worth, and he's the only kid in class ranked above me" Hanabi explained.

"Care to dive a little further?" Hinata asked.

"Well... He doesn't like that people want him to be like his Grandfather or Uncle. So he trains as hard as he can to make sure he surpasses them both, so that people stop comparing him to his Grandfather and Uncle. He also shows that he has no fear whatsover, as he stands up to every bully that tries to pick on weak kids. He always beats them up, whether it's One on One or more. His Brown hair that pops up every time he takes off his helmet. And finally, like I said, he's top of the class, meanwhile I'm Second in Class" Hanabi detailed.

"I see."

"So what should I do?"

"I don't know, I would say try to ask him out, but Naruto-Kun asked me out so I'm not sure I can give you good advice in that department" Hinata explained.

"I think you just did" Hanabi said. "I have to wait and see if he feels the same way and if he does the. he'll confess to me, but if he doesn't then he won't."

Hinata simply rubbed the back of her head at the realization that her little sister was right. She the. said

"I'm gonna go for a walk."

"Okay, see ya soon sis" Hanabi said with a smile as she walked to her room and Hinata went. out the door.

(Hours Later, With Naruto and Konohamaru)

Naruto and Konohamaru were relaxing and watching the stars after the long and draining training session they had.

"You did good today Konohamaru" Naruto assured him.

"Thanks Onii-Chan" said Konohamaru.

"Alright, well go home and get some rest. Oh and you should do some of this training on your own if I'm not here for obvious reasons."

"Yeah don't worry, I will" Konohamaru stated before getting up and going home.

"I better go get some Ramen and then go home" said Naruto.

And he did just that. After paying for his meal at Ichiraku Ramen, he left the stand and ended up bumping into someone again.

"I'm sorry" Naruto apologized.

"Naruto-Kun?" Said the familiar voice.

"Hina-Hime?"

After both got a good look at each other's eyes they shared one quick kiss and then began talking.

"Naruto-Kun, I have something to tell you regarding Hanabi" Hinata confessed.

"And I have something regarding Konohamaru" Naruto confessed.

"Lets say it at the same time" Hinata suggested and Naruto nodded in agreement.

"Hanabi/Konohamaru likes Konohamaru/Hanabi" both Hinata and Naruto said at the same time.

It took them a while to process what the other side before they both finally shouted in unison

"What!?"

Aftwr discussing the topic with each other for half an Hour, they agreed on what to do. So they shared one more quick kiss and then went their separate ways.

(The Next Day)

Konohamaru was being escorted to The Hokage Tower by Naruto.

"We're doing a mission today Onii?" Asked Konohamaru.

"Yep" answered Naruto.

"Aren't I too young for that?" Konohamaru questioned.

"You're young but strong for your age and I'd say you're at least Genin level. Plus I talked to Baa-Chan about it yesterday, this is a C rank mission" Naruto assured.

"Okay, but aren't these missions supposed to be with Four people, One Jounin and Three Genin?"

"The Jounin is me and dont worry about the other Two."

The two continued walking untill reaching the door. Once Naruto opened the door, Konohamaru stepped inside, and then widened his eyes.

'H-Hanabi-Chan?' Konohamaru stuttered inwardly.

'K-Konohamaru-Kun?' Hanabi stammered in thought.

"We're here Baa-Chan, so do you have the mission?" Naruto asked.

Tsunade of course still got angry with hearing Naruto calling her that again, but let it go, seeing as how he is trying to connect Two kids together. She then heard Hinata say

"Naruto-Kun, manners."

"Tsunade smiled and said

"Listen to your Hime Naruto."

Naruto simply let out a deep breath and calmly asked

"Either way, do you have the mission we need?"

Tsunade just let out a deep breath herself and while handing Naruto an envelope said

"Yes, it's right here."

"All right, well let's get started shall we?" Konohamaru said in excitement (Excited of having a mission at such a young age and having it with Hanabi).

"Come in!" Shouted Tsunade.

After she said this, a family came through the door.

"Wait I don't recall seeing them when me and Onii were walking here" said Konohamaru in confusion.

"That's because they had a seal on them that prevented them from being seen or heard. Of course until they removed it just now before entering the room.

"Alright, lets go" Naruto said while gesturing for them to follow him.

After leaving the Village, Naruto turned around and told them

"We're going to be escorting this family to their Home, but expect there to be Ninja coming after them for their wealth" said Naruto. "Alright what are your names.

"I'm Harold, the Father (Harold was 5'7 but skinny. He also wore a Green Turtle Neck Sweater along with Green Pants)" Harold introduced himself.

"I'm Penni, the Mother (Penni was 5'0, flat, and thin. She wore a Brown Skirt and Gray T Shirt)" Penni introduced herself.

"I'm Marietta their only Daughter, (Marietta was 8 years old, 4'5, and was also thin. She wore a white skirt and a blue tank top)"Marietta introduced herself.

"I'm Grant, their only Son (Grant was 9 years old, 4'7, and thin. He wore a Blue Turtle Neck Sweater and Blue Trousers)" Grant introduced himself.

"Well with that outta the way let's head out" said Naruto.

And so they began walking to the designated area.

While they were walking, Harold questioned

"I thought there was supposed to be a Jonin Sensei here to guide us?"

"There is" Naruto said.

"Who?" Harold asked.

"Me, I'm Eleven Years Old but you better believe I'm a Jonin" Naruto said with his hands behind his head.

"Wait is he telling the truth?" Marietta asked Konohamaru.

"Yup, my Onii has accomplished a lot in such a short period of time, and one day, I'll surpass him" Konohamaru said.

"Cool" chimed in Grant.

"Well he is my sister's Boyfriend" Hanabi chimed in.

"Hanabi" Hinata somewhat complained (Somewhat because it was really just the embarrassment that Hanabi put Hinata in, in that situation. Not that she didn't want people to know, that, since she loved Naruto so much).

Naruto was taking multiple steps forward, until he heard a twig snap, and sensed strong Chakra signatures. He then put his arm in front of Harold (Because everyone else was behind Harold) and whispered

"Hinata."

"On it, Byakugan!" Hinata loudly whispered. "There are multiple Ninja coming after us from the North side and even more from the South!"

"Okay, Hinata and I will deal with the ones North from here and you two deal with the ones that end up here" Naruto liudly whispered.

The Two nodded in agreement and both older siblings/sibling figures went to the source of the noise.

After they were gone from their point of view, Hanabi and Konohamaru brought out Kunai, and were watching their South side very sharply (Hanabi wasn't using her Byakugan because staying in it for too long would just be a waste waste of Chakra, especially since they knew where the Ninja were coming). After a while Naruto and Hinata came back without much blood on their Kunai.

"Alright we're clear" assured Naruto. "Let's move out,again."

The others nodded and so they continued their trek to the house of the Family.

"The house isn't too far from where we are, if we keep walking then we should arrive there by tomorrow" Naruto let the others know.

After a nod from everyone, they once agaon continued walking.

It wasn't long after Naruto's announcement that Konohamaru was getting a nudge from Marietta.

"What?" He whispered.

"You keep looking at the other little girl with white eyes, do you have a thing for her maybe?" Marietta asked quietly.

Konohamaru simply blushed, turned away, and didn't answer.

Hanabi was also walking and got a nudge from Grant.

"Can I help you?" She asked.

"You like the brown haired boy don't you" Grant asked.

Hanabi's face flushed and she stammered out

"W-hat a-are you t-talking about?"

"Well you keep looking at him, and also just now your face turned apple red and you stammered from the mere thought of him" Grant said.

Hinata was walking alongside Naruto with Naruto's arm around her neck. Hinata snuggled up into Naruto's shoulder and said

"Maybe things will go according to plan after all Naruto-Kun."

"Well I figured if anything would build up courage, it's a mission. Because when I confessed to you, that was during a well known mission throughout the lands, which was protecting the village and confessing to you was the happiest moment in my life, all because, you accepted me" Naruto explained and kissed Hinata's forehead after finishing. "I love you Hina-Hime."

"I love you too Naruto-Kun" Hinata said then kissed Naruto's cheek.

As the couple was walking to their assigned destination they reached what seemed to be a dead end (He was following a map).

Naruto knew what had to happen, so he released the Genjutsu. Immediately, they were on top of a hill and proceeded in going through it.

As they were walking, both Hanabi and Konohamaru were trying to avoid eye contact with one another, but the blushes on their faces were still clearly visible. It led to them being teased over and over again (playfully) by Grant and Marietta. Until Naruto and Hinata told them both

"We're gonna set up camp here since it's turning dark. We need you guys to grab some firewood."

"Alright"Hanabi and Konohamaru said.

"What do we do?" Asked Harold.

"Just stay on close to us and get ready to scream in case someone does manage to take you" Naruto said.

The family simply shrugged their shoulders but did as instructed. Eventually, after Konohamaru and Hanabi came back with lots of firewood, the camp was set, and they were all sitting on different sides of the Campfire with each other (Konohamaru and Hanabi were sitting together, Naruto and Hinata were sitting together, the Siblings of the wealthy Family were sitting together, and the Mother and Father of the rich Family were sitting together).

Konohamaru was frying up some meat in the campfire, but was very lost in thought due to Hanabi being so close to him. So much so that he almost burned the meat he was frying, had it not been for Naruto warning him about it.

Hanabi wasn't doing any better, she was still very embarrassed about what Grant said earlier and how he was so quick to catch onto that. She wasn't frying any meat but still, she was so lost in thought that she didn't realize she was looking directly at her crush's eyes without realizing it. Once she did, she looked up at the sky as a way to hide her affection of Konohamaru from Konohamaru.

Naruto and Hinata were seeing the whole thing (While Naruto had an arm around her neck and Hinata leaned into her Boyfriend's chest) and couldn't help but chuckle a bit. They looked at each other and shared a quick kiss before thinking about their Sibling/Sibling figure.

'I wonder how Konohamaru is gonna feel when he realizes that I made them go on a real C ranked mission in order to gain enough confidence to confess?' Naruto thought.

'I wonder if either of them will confess to each other?' Hinata thought.

After more Minutes of camping, Naruto decided to call it a day and told everyone to head to their tents.

Konohamaru went into his tent (He shared one with Naruto) but couldn't sleep because the thought of him confessing to Hanabi was clouding his mind. He could tell that she liked him, but he still couldn't gather the courage to fully confess to her yet.

'I need to do it, I need to!' He yelled inwardly.

He went to sleep shortly after.

Similarly Hanabi was unable to sleep in her tent (She shared one with Hinata) because thoughts of Konohamaru confessing to her were clouding her mind. She could tell that he liked her but was unable to process the thought of him actually confessing to her.

',Please, just do it already, I wanna be with you so much Konohamaru-Kun!" Hanabi inwardly begged.

She went to sleep shortly after.

(The Next Day)

The Team was back on track and heading out to get to the house of the Family.

After a lot of walking a loud branch snap was heard. Naruto asked Hinata to use her Byakugan in order to check, only to find out that it was a Squirrel. The Team brushed it off and continued with their trek.

'Ok I need to do it, later, no now you wimp!' Konohamaru inwardly scolded himself.

So he started walking closer and closer to Hanabi, until putting his hand on her shoulder.

Hanabi felt his hand and cheeringly thought

'He must be ready to confess now!'

Konohamaru took a deep breath and asked Hanabi

"Could you turn around Hanabi-Chan?"

Hanabi turned Beat Red after hearing him call her by that honorific, but still, she turned around.

"What is it Konohamaru-Kun?" She asked.

Now it was Konohamaru's turn to become Beat Red, but still, he kept his cool and continued on with

"I wanted to ask you. Would you?" But he was interrupted by a Shuriken coming down to kill him.

He caught it then looked around to find anybody there.

Everyone else also saw this and kept their guard up as well.

Hanabi was very disappointed at the inconvenient timing, but also of course very relieved that Konohamaru was okay. She got ready for anything, but she along with everyone else, was shocked to see a moving Scarecrow.

Hinata got a good look at the Scarecrow via Byakugan and concurred that it didn't have anyone in it. She whispered it to Naruto, who pulled a Kunai and threw it at the Scarecrow, the Kunai simply went into the Scarecrow but didn't come out.

Naruto made a realization then told the family to stand behind him and after they did just that, he said

"It's you, Kro Freth, ironically a B ranked missing Nin from Kiri instead of C"

"And your Naruto Uzumaki, Prodigy of the Leaf, trained by both the Third Hokage and Jiraiya of the Sannin" Kro said. "It's gonna be really refreshing being able to kill such a well known Ninja."

Naruto couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably.

"What's so funny?" Kro asked.

"Actually I have a better idea. Since I'm so well known for my Mentors, why not you take on the person I'm currently mentoring?" Naruto questioned.

"And who's that?" Asked Kro.

Naruto simply turned to Konohamaru and asked him

"Do you think you can do it?"

Konohamaru looked at Naruto with a determined look in his eyes that showed absolutely no fear at all. And with a thumbs up, he said

"You got Onii!"

And stepped forward to fight Kro.

Kro simply scoffed at such an insult and said

"Really, a kid?! You disappointed me!"

"I'm a kid and look at how far I've gone" said Naruto.

"And don't underestimate me, my name is Konohamaru Sarutobi, and I will take you down!"

"Konohamaru Sarutobi, the Grandson of The Third Hokage?! This might end up better than I thought if you are being trained by Naruto Uzumaki and are the Grandson of Hiruzen Sarutobi. Get ready Kid" Kro warned while getting in his stance.

"Bring it on Straw Man" Konohamaru said while getting in his own stance.

Konohamaru vs Kro

Both brought out Kunai and dashed forward until a big clash could be heard. There was a bit of a struggle but Kro quickly gained the upper hand and started pushing Konohamaru back (Konohamaru weighed 62lbs and Kro weighed 156).

Konohamaru was gritting his teeth at the size and weight difference between the Two, then right as he was about to doubt his chances of winning, Hanabi cheeringly shouted

"You can do it Konohamaru-Kun!"

Konohamaru looked at Hanabi, smiled, then looked back at Kro, grinned, and dashed forward again.

This time though, Konohamaru was able to get behind Kro and cut him in the back twice (Kro had an X on his back). After the cuts were made, he jumped back and threw several Shuriken (Laced with Chakra) while calling

"Shuriken Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!"

Kro was able to dodge all of the Shuriken, except One. That One was enough to blast him through the trees he was in front of and caused a big explosion at the end.

"That's not everything I've got, so you better get up Kro!" Konohamaru shouted.

And sure enough Kro came back, he was breathing heavily from the attack and blast, but was still alive.

"Try this on for size!" Kro yelled "Ryuusha No Jutsu!"

And then, after slamming his hands on the ground, a pool of quicksand formed underneath Konohamaru's feet, and started getting bigger as time passed.

"What the!" Konohamaru shouted in frustration, before making his own hand signs, and calling "Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!"

After Konohamaru made the call, an extra him appeared, so he grabbed him by both arms and slingshot himself out.

"That was close" Konohamaru said in relief. Then he dashed towards Kro with a Kunai at hand, while shouting "Taste Metal!"

Kro reacted to this quite easily and blocked the strike with a Battle Axe strapped behind his back.

Konohamaru didn't give up, even after seeing the Axe, (Mainly due to Hanabi, Naruto, and Hinata cheering him) and instead rushed at Kro with a Kunai in each hand.

Kro knee what was coming so he kepr his guard up and brought the Axe above his head, then when Konohamaru got close, he brought it down.

Konohamaru blocked the axe with One Kunai and threw the other at Kro (Both were laced with Chakra).

Kro jumped back and so did Konohamaru.

After they were apart enough, Konohamaru made some hand signs and yelled

"Alright how about this?! I learned this from my Uncle Asuma, Katon: Haisekishō!" Konohamaru called.

Gunpowder began taking over Kro's field of vision until fire took it over and burned him.

"Ahh!" Kro yelled as the fire engulfed him.

He then began rolling around the ground until he made his hand signs and called

"Mizu No Yoroi!"

This action immediately put the fire out, but he was still burned quite a bit. Nevertheless, he got back up and grabbed his Axe.

"Time to shed" Kro said before his scarecrow body fell to the floor.

"Wait that was just a disguise?" Konohamaru questioned.

"No, he's healed himself by dropping that body and creating a new one. It's all thanks to a Jutsu created by himself" Naruto explained.

"How does it work?" Konohamaru asked.

"Whenever his body gets beat to a point of near death, he can make an all new and fresh body by pure Chakra. The only downside is, he needs time in order to make the new body, so right now he's hiding in order to buy that time" Naruto clarified.

"Aleight, thanks Onii, now I know what I gotta do!" Konohamaru said with a fist raised.

'Konohamaru-Kun' Hanabi thought.

Konohamaru then began channeling Chakra to his ears, in order hear better, and he stood absolutely still.

"There! The family cover your ears!" Konohamaru shouted before jumping up and throwing a Chakra Laced Shuriken at a Tree nearby.

The Shuriken made a loud explosion and took out a large chunk of the Forrest at that point of view.

Konohamaru was a bit worn out from exerting so much Chakra, but he stood tall, or so he thought.

"You did it Konohamaru-Kun!" Hanabi loudly cheered.

Konohamaru blushed, rubbed the back of his head, and said

"I guess I di" but didn't get to finish, as right before he was going to, he dodged an Axe swing from Kro.

"How are you still alive?!" Konohamaru yelled in question.

"How much time I need to make my new body, depends on how much damage is dealt to it, good thing it's not in my Bingo Book" Kro detailed.

"Damn!" Konohamaru yelled in frustration.

"Don't give up Konohamaru, show him everything you've got!" Naruto shouted.

"Alright, how about this?!" Konohamaru shouted before dashing closer to Kro, making different hand signs, and calling out "Katon: Karyuu Endan!"

Kro saw this, dropped his Axe, and after making different hand signs, he called out

"Deido Tama!"

Both attacks collided and cancelled each other out. And as soon as they cancelled each other out, Konohamaru ran straight to Kro, kicked his Axe further away from the ground, and engaged in a Taijutsu battle.

The Taijutsu fight started off with Konohamaru landing a right hook at Kro's face, then followed it up with a round house kick to the ribs (All of his hits were without Chakra because he was still quite drained from the Chakra taxing attacks he already used).

Kro was hurt by the hits, but not too much. He simply smirked at Konohamaru, then dashed towards him while unleashing a barrage of strong and fast Punches straight at Konohamaru.

Konohamaru was able to dodge a few but several of those strikes did in fact land. He was then sent back a few feet and groaning in pain from the impact those hits had. But after a while, he got back up and looked at Kro's eyes. He then heard Hanabi, Naruto, and Hinata cheering him on again, and stayed strong.

"Just give up kid, you can't win" Kro said very cockily.

"Never!" Konohamaru replied before charging at Kro again.

Both locked hands and Konohamaru was the first to act with a knee to the face.

Kro stumbled back and a bit but shook off the pain and side kicked him in the stomach.

This action also made Konohamaru stumble back a bit, but he stayed strong, took Two big steps, and was right in front of Kro.

Kro through a punch, but Konohamaru dodged and through his own. Kro dodged and went for a knee. The knee hit Konohamaru but he stood his ground, spun, and elbowed Kro in the nose. Kro tried to choke Konohamaru after he broke his nose, but Konohamaru simply brought his arms up from underneath Kro's arms with a lot of force and broke the hold. After the hold was broken, Konohamaru began unloading on Kro with everything he had at that moment. After one big uppercut, Kro was on the ground, on his back.

Konohamaru panted a bit but then went in to strike Kro while he was down. However, Kro simply got back up, via kip up, and ended up kicking Konohamaru while doing so (It was intentional). Konohamaru fell to the ground, on his back, saw that Kro was standing up, smirked, and kicked his feet in order to trip him. Once Kro was right in front of him, he grabbed him by the head, pulled him up, and put him in a triangle choke.

Kro was starting to lose air quickly, so he tried seperating himself from Konohamaru, but the kid had an unbreakable grip. After a bit he started fading away, but using the strength he had left, he grabbed Konohamaru, lifted him up above his head, then slammed him on the ground.

"Arghh!" Konohamaru yelled in pain.

While still attempting to catch his breath, Kro stumbled over to where his Axe was, once he got there he picked it up, and placed it over his left shoulder. He then began walking closer to Konohamaru with his Axe at hand, but the boy managed to get back up in the time that Kro used to pick his Axe up.

Konohamaru was panting heavily and brought out Two of his Kunai. He then ran straight at Kro with his Kunai behind his back (He was doing the classic ninja run and the Kunai were simply hanging on his hands therefore behind his back) and thrusted them both vertically downward.

Kro saw this and thrusted his Axe, Horizontally, left side, with both arms.

The weapons collided and both were groaning from both their battle damage and struggle. They both gnashed their teeth and started a Kenjutsu battle.

Konohamaru leapt a back, ran forward, while spinning, with his Kunai at each hand, and ended up overpowering Kro.

Kro was having a difficult time trying to block this move from Konohamaru, he was trying to but the force and momentum that were being put to each strike was giving the young Sarutobi Clan Heir, the upper hand.

Kro managed to perfectly time one swing of his Axe and ended up breaking one of the Kunai Konohamaru was using. After that Kunai broke, Kro went in to slice off Konohamaru's head, but Konohamaru managed to block it with his remaining Kunai. After that block was made, Kro started striking at Konohamaru with his Axe at full force and no mercy. Which ultimately brought Konohamaru to the defensive side, as he had no way of stopping or countering the hits at the moment, which really gave Kro the upper hand. As Konohamaru was pushed against a tree, his remaining Kunai broke due to one powerful thrust from Kro.

But, right as Kro was abouta kill Konohamaru with a horizontal thrust across the throat, Konohamaru kicked Kro below the belt and brought the man to his knees. He then broight out Two other Kunai (His last Kunai) from his pouch and started striking at Kro's Axe (He was aiming for the head but Kro used his last remaining strength to block One of the Kunai strikes).

After just Two strikes, Konohamaru managed to knock the Axe off of Kro's hands, kicked his laps, brought him back onto the ground, and had one of the Kunai up against his throat. However, right as Konohamaru was abouta thrust his Kunai forward, an Axe came from behind and nearly pierced his back, but he jumped outta the way and it stabbed the Scarecrow dead on, which ended up causing an explosion.

Konohamaru jumped back and started panting heavily. looming around for the real Kro.

'So you used a Bakuyaku Iwa Kawarimi, huh, well where are you!?' Konohamaru shouted inwardly.

"Doton: Rikujou Shougekiha No Jutsu!" Kro yelled out.

Konohamaru turned towards the source of the noise and saw a Shcokwave coming towards him. He quickly jumped outta the way, made his hand signs, and called out

"Katon: Karyuu Endan!"

Kro jumped out of the trees surrounding him, with his Axe at hand (His Axe came back to him like a boomerang, because he actually remembered the hand sign he needed to do in order to do so. Which is why it didn't come back the first time), and threw it with all his might at Konohamaru.

Konohamaru used one Kunai to block, laced the other with Chakra, and threw the Chakra laced One at Kro. The Chakra laced Kunai, embedded itself in Kro, exploded and sent Kro flying with a massive gash and burn on his chest.

Kro managed to get back up, but was utterly exhausted.

Konohamaru and Kro were panting heavily and staring each other down.

"Come on Konohamaru, show him your real speed!" Naruto shouted.

"Wait, do you mean?" Konohamaru asked only for Naruto to give him a thumbs up and reply with

"Go ahead and do it!"

"Alright!" Konohamaru replied.

He then began pulling his pant legs up and revealed the leg weights he's been using. He then took them both off, with much struggle, then stood up, only to drop them on the ground, and two craters to form on the ground.

'What?' Was the thought in everyone's (Except Naruto's) mind.

"This feel great!" Konohamaru shouted in excitement. " Bring it on now Kro!"

Kro didn't back down, and kept a firm grip on his Axe, while holding it in front of his body.

"Bring it on kid, if you wanna die!" Kro yelled.

"Let's see if you can back that up" Konohamaru said smugly, before running towards Kro with unseeable speeds.

Konohamaru then began hammering away at Kro as if Kro was his punching bag.

Kro tried defending himself and tried swinging his Axe, but couldn't so much as touch the young Sarutobi Heir.

Konohamaru was just having a bunch of fun toying with Kro, but knew that this fight had to end at some point. He kept on attacking Kro with Zero difficulty, but he was also trying to gain as much Chakra as he could to finish this.

After a while, Kro was too tired and injured to move, and that's when Konohamaru decided to end it. He jumped up made a familiar handsign and called out

"Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!"

Four other Konohamaru's appeared beside him. They all brought their hand up behind their heads and started channeling Chakra, until finally, Five Spheres of wind were created. They all then dropped down while shouting

"Rasengan!"

Once just One of these attacks hit Kro dead on, exploded, made his Chakra body explode, and his real body afterwards. Then explosions kept coming until finally all that remained, was his Axe. Konohamaru walked up to it, with a limp in his steps, and picked it up. He then walked up to Naruto and co, then exhaustedly and with a raspy voice said

"Victory is mine" while holding the axe above his head.

Naruto saw how exhausted and beat uo Konohamaru was, took the Axe off his hands, and gave him a piggyback ride. Everyone else followed suit.

After a few minutes of walking, Hinata walked up to Naruto, and whispered

"Was Konohamaru gonna be safe even if he lost?"

"Oh yeah, even if he would've lost I would've stepped in and killed Kro myself. I wouldn't let Konohamaru die, especially not before he confesses to Hanabi" Naruto whispered back.

Hinata smiled and then kissed Naruto's cheek.

Hanabi believed in Konohamaru, however, she couldn't help but be really worried about Konohamaru through the entire fight. She thought that he won and lost during key moments and didn't wanna lose him, especially not before either of them confessed (She could tell that he like her too) their true feelings for One another.

(One Hour Later)

The mission was over and the Team was heading back to The Leaf. But Naruto decided to use a shorter way. He grabbed onto Hinata, gave Hanabi a piggyback ride right beside Konohamaru, and took off at his highest speeds (With weights). He arrived at The Leaf Gates almost instantly and let both Hanabi and Hinata go. Once they got done talking with Izumo and Kotetsu, tbey entered the village.

Naruto then gave Konohamaru to Hinata and asked her

"Could you take him to the hospital while I check in with Baa-Chan?"

"Sure Naruto-Kun" Hinata said.

Naruto then took off at a stable pace (He ran fast but not so fast that he was causing problems all over the village) and arrived at the Hokage Tower shortly. Once he arrived there, he walked the rest of the way until arriving at the door to the office. He took a deep breath and opened the door.

(With Hinata)

Hinata and Hanabi were walking Konohamaru to a medical hospital to get him back to full strength. Once they arrived to it, the Doctors Immediately got to work in helping Konohamaru upon seeing his condition. Once the Doctors took Konohamaru to a room, Hinata told Hanabi

"We should probably leave now."

But Hanabi walked up to Hinata and asked her

"Can I stay, I know that the doctors don't care if anyone does, so can I?"

"Are you sure?" Hinata asked.

"Positive" Hanabi answered.

"Ok, stay safe though" Hinata told Hanabi before leaving.

(With Itachi)

Itachi and Sasuke just got done with training for a bit. So Itachi wind off to the Hokage Tower. Once he opened the door to the office he immediately saw Naruto.

"Naruto, what are you doing here?" He asked.

"Filling out a mission report, how about you?' Naruto answered with a question at the end.

"I came to check in with Hokage-Sama" Itachi answered.

"Alright, well I should be going then" Naruto said before walking out of the room.

"You didn't assign him to the mission I told you to yet, did you?" Itachi asked.

"No" Tsunade simply said with a headshake.

"Ok good. Now I need you to show me all the missions that The Third Hokage left behind" Itachi instructed.

Tsunade did Just this, opened up a cabinet, reached in for all the papers, and showed them to Itachi.

"I was looking for these papers ever since Naruto went out on the mission he just came back from and this is what I found."

Itschi looked over all the papers and counted a total of 36 missions.

"Knowing Naruto, he's probably going to want to at least do more than half of these, before he would accept going on a training mission" Itachi said.

"I know" Tsunade said. "So what are you going to do?"

"I'm simply going to give Naruto 20 of these missions. All 36 don't have a time window, but he did mention something about bringing someone else back. So that combined with the 20 I'm going to hand him, that are actually do able for him right now, instead of him having to be stronger or more mature, since that's what the training trip is for. So with that in mind, I'm going to have to read all of these mission scrolls, detail to detail in order to hand Naruto the 20 that are both possible for him right now and also the hardest, since he doesn't like taking the easy way in anything" Itachi explained.

After saying his piece, Itachi vanished from the room and went to his room in the Uchiha Clan Head Household. He was going to get to reading all of the scrolls he had in front of him, but first he cracked his neck, and said

"This is going to take a while."

Then got to reading.

(With Naruto)

Naruto was walking to his apartment, when he bumped into someone.

"Oh I'm sorry" he apologized as he turned around.

"No, I'm sorry" apologized the person.

Naruto searched the person for a bit and thought

'I feel like I've seen her before, not in person, but some other way, but I don't remember how or when.'

The girl left the scene and seemed to be headed to the Hokage Tower.

"Whatever" Naruto said before continuing his walk back to his Apartment.

However, before he could get to his Apartment, something caught his attention. Naruto heard the sound of crying, he just couldn't ignore it, and ended up following it.

'Why isn't anybody else paying attention to it?' Naruto thought as he continued following the noise.

The noises got a lot louder the closer Naruto got and eventually, he was just inches away from the noise. Naruto was behind a wooden fence and peeked his head in to see who the source of all that noise was.

'Kurenai-Sensei?' Naruto thought with wide eyes. 'Why is she crying, what happened, and where's Asuma-Sensei? And that's why no citizen has come to check up on the noise (There was a Genjutsu cast on Kurenai that drowned her image and voice out. But Naruto was quickly able to release said Jutsu for himself, since he didn't think anyone else had to hear it)."

After a bit more thinking, Naruto walked up to her.

"Kurenai-Sensei? What's wrong?" Naruto asked.

"Oh Naruto, what brings you here?" Kurenai asked with a shaky voice.

"I heard crying and couldn't ignore it, I didn't think it would be for you though. Do you want to talk about it?" Naruto answered with a question at the end.

Kurenai wiped the tears off her face and said

"That would be nice, especially since no one has bothered to actually listen to me."

"Why not?"

"Because of who it involves."

"I'll listen no matter who's involved Kurenai-Sensei."

"Well okay. You see, Yesterday I was happy, because Yesterday marked the One Hundredth Day Anniversary of when me and Asuma first got together. So I went over to his house in order to both surprise him on this special day and also tell him that he's the One. So I quietly opened and closed the front door, then quietly walked over to his room. But when I got closer to his room, I heard giggling as well as chuckling, from Two different voices. I open the door only a little bit and saw Asuma and" Kurenai started explaining, but didn't get to finish (She was not interrupted, she just couldn't finish).

"And another woman" Naruto finished for her.

Kurenai simply nodded and said

"Yep, you guessed it."

Naruto's eyes widened after hearing that. He clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth.

Kurenai however, started crying loudly, and that's when Naruto brought her into a tight embrace.

Kurenai couldn't but feel safe, warm, and strong in Naruto's embrace. But she looked him in the eyes and asked him

"Why do you care so much?"

Naruto simply said

"Two reasons. One, you are someone dear to my Hina-Hime. And Two, a woman like you shouldn't be forced to go through what you had to go through, especially because it was the man you thought was the one."

"What do you mean, a woman like me?" Kurenai asked.

"Well, look at you. You're smart, beautiful, kind, caring, and strong" Naruto genuinely answered.

Kurenai blushed at Naruto's words and said

"Well at least now I know why she loves you so much and I also know that she's in good hands"

"Of course, I would never hurt or let anyone else hurt my Hina-Hime" Naruto responded.

"I also heard from Tsume that you are quite the monster in the bedroom."

"Well of course, I love her too, wait, who told you about the sharing?"

"Tsume, Hinata, and you."

Naruto simply rubbed the back of his head and said

"I wasn't expecting that."

"It's okay, I just wanted to make extra sure from the man himself."

"Wait... I just realized something." Naruto said.

"What is it?" Kurenai asked.

"Did you and Asuma get into an argument, beforehand?"

"No."

"Well don't worry about it Kurenai-Sensei, you're still very young and very beautiful."

"Do you mean it?" She asked.

"Of course, don't let one scumbag keep you from happiness. There's a better guy out there for you, and I know it."

"Th-thank you Naruto-Kun" she stammered in reply before quickly kissing the boy, getting back up, and walking off to go find her best friend, Anko Mitarashi, and tel her about everything that she just talked to Naruto about.

The kiss and honorific shocked Naruto, but he just played them off as something that happened in the heat of the moment, and once again started walking back to his Apartment. Only to be stopped once again, this time by his Jonin Sensei, Kakashi Hatake.

"Naruto you have a mission to get to" Kakashi warned.

"Come on!" Naruto complained.

"It is one of the missions that The Third Hokage never got the chance to finish."

"I'm sorry! What is it, I'll do anything assigned by him!" Naruto hastily apologized.

"Well follow me to the Hokage Tower."

Naruto did as he was told and followed Kakashi.

(With Hanabi)

Hanabi widened her eyes, smiled, and she would when Konohamaru finally woke up. After she was done cheering, she ran up to him and hugged him tightly while saying

"Konohamaru-Kun, you're okay!"

"What'd you expect Hanabi-Chan? I'm just glad I was able to protect you from that thing" Konohamaru assured Hanabi.

Hanabi kept her hold on Konohamaru and with a smile, she said

"Yeah, you did, but you know, I could've done it too."

Konohamaru smiled back and with both a deep breath and all the courage he could muster, he said

"I know you could, but it makes me feel better that I was able to protect the girl I like, that's you Hanabi-Chan."

Hanabi was happy to finally hear him say it, she looks so incredibly happy and said

"I like you too Konohamaru-Kun."

Hanabi and Konohamaru then leaned closer to each other and kissed. After breaking the kiss, Konohamaru asked Hanabi

"Will you be my Girlfriend?"

Hanabi began to uncontrollably nod her head up and down furiously and said

"Yes Konohamaru-Kun, I would love to be your Girlfriend."

Both hug the once more until a doctor came in.

"Well you're all good to go."

"Awesome!" Konohamaru shouted as he kip upped out of the bed and on to the floor. "Let's go Hanabi-Chan (Konohamaru had his regular clothes on and not the hospital clothes)!"

And with that being said, the new couple walked out of the room then out of the hospital.

(Back With Naruto)

"It's you again?" Naruto asked.

"So you've met her already Naruto?" Tsunade asked

"Well we bumped into each other but that's about it" Naruto said.

"Well introduce yourself" Tsunade told the Teenage girl.

"I am Koyuki Kazahana" she introduced herself.

"I knew I saw you somehow" Naruto said calmly. "You're the heiress to The Land of Snow, my Sensei, Hiruzen Sarutobi, used to talk about you and show me photos of you because of how he hoped that I could help you out one day" Naruto explained. "And it looks like that day is today."

"So does that me and you already know what I am going to ask you?" Koyuki asked.

"Yeah, you need help in taking back your country, I can help you with that" Naruto said.

"What about your team?" Koyuki questioned.

"If it's fine with you Three, I'd like to do this mission alone" Naruto queried.

"Well what do you two think?" Koyuki questioned Kakashi and Tsunade.

"Well she is the strongest out of his team right now, including me" Kakashi said.

"And his leadership skills definitely need some work, and that's important since it would just be him and Koyuki"Tsunade said.

"But knowing Naruto, he's would definitely give up his own life if it means saving Koyuki and fulfilling a mission from his old Sensei" Kakashi said back.

"But I doubt anyone with me strong enough to actually kill him. So yeah I don't have a problem with it, how about you Kakashi?" Tsunade asked.

"Me neither" was Kakashi's reply.

"Then it's settled. Naruto will get a map and scroll filling him on everything to do" Tsunade finished.

After receiving the map and scroll, Naruto looked at Koyuki, and said

"Okay, let's let's get going Koyuki."

Koyuki followed Naruto and was led to the Village Gates. After discussing the situation with Kotetsu and izumo, they left (I'm going to be making a different version of this mission in both this chapter and the next)

(With Kurenai and Anko)

Kurenai and Anko both decided to take a stroll around the village and talk about what went on with Kurenai and Asuma as they did so.

"Wow, I had no idea" Anko replied.

"I know, but I'm just glad that Naruto-Kun was able to talk some sense into me."

"Kun all of a sudden?"

"Well, what can I say? After all, he saved me from losing myelf."

"You know Kurenai, Tsume is always talking about how much of a monster the brat is in the bedroom, maybe Hinata won't mind sharing him with you too" Anko said while nudging Kurenai.

Anko was surprised, because instead of yelling her name, Kurenai just turned beat red and silent.

"So, do you think you could take a Twelve Year Old that's built like that? I mean think about how good it would feel to get filled with that" Anko said.

"I wouldn't know" Kurenai stopped mid sentence, grabbed Anko's collar, pulled her closer, and whispered "I'm still a virgin after all."

Anko simply said

"Yeah I know, it's a good thing you didn't lose it from him. Naruto seems like a very good person to lose it from though."

"Well do you think they would accept me?" Kurenai asked.

"You would have to beat me to them" Anko said before taking off to the Hyuga Compound at her fastest speed.

"Oh no you don't!" Kurenai yelled as she followed behind.

(Back With Naruto)

Naruto and Koyuki were still making their way to The Land of Snow (They were walking, but that was because Naruto didn't know if Koyuki was strong enough to hold on to him while he went at top speed and because he didn't know the direction to The Land of Snow by heart).

"Are you holding up fine?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah, why'd you ask?" Koyuki answer to the question at the end.

"Because I know about how lost The Land of Snow to your Uncle and became an actress with an alias to escape from it. so I just wanted to make sure if you're really fine."

Koyuki stopped walking, turned around, and told Naruto

"Oh, well I haven't gotten over about it, if I had then I wouldn't have asked for this mission would I? But to answer if I am really fine, I'm okay but not completely fine. Mainly because, it's been a while since I was last at the Land of Snow, so I don't know if my uncle has access to an even more powerful army. But at the same time, I'm also worried about the both of us. I worry about us both because it's just two of us, more like just one since year the only one that will actually fight. But nonetheless we're outnumbered and I can't stop worrying about you most since you are the only one that's going to fight."

Naruto blushed at the fact that Koyuki was so worried about him, since it was rare for anyone to care about him that much when he was a little kid. But he shook it off, place the hand on Koyuki's shoulder, and told Koyuki

"Don't worry about me Koyuki, I've got a secret weapon if my own power won't save us. And trust me, they were telling the truth, I really would give up my life to protect you and in turn fulfill one of the missions that my Sensei wanted done the most."

It was Koyuki's turn to blush. She couldn't believe that she got such a kind and selfless Ninja like Naruto to help her.

They've been walking for hours before getting to this discussion, so the sun setting didn't surprise them.

They set up camp and slept in their own tents. However, during their slumber, multiple twigs snapped creating a very loud noise that woke Naruto up.

Naruto sat up as quietly as possible and looked through the zip of his tent to see a Man with a Kunai out, looking inside of Koyuki's tent.

Naruto leaped out of his tent and punched the man right in the face, instantly bringing the man down. He then looked at the man's forehead and saw a Snow Country Symbol. Naruto quickly killed the man as quickly and quietly as possible, then grabbed Koyuki (Bridal Style) which woke her up.

"N-Naruto-Kun?" Koyuki standard as she realized that Naruto picked her up Bridal Style.

Naruto wasted no more time, created One Kage Bunshin and had it seal everything in a storage scroll, before dispersing both the scroll and itself. Afterwards he left as quickly as possible after hearing some more twigs snapping.

"Don't worry Koyuki, I'll protect you, I promise!" Naruto loudly whispered, not wanting to attract any more attention from the enemies.

Koyuki saw the look of both passion and genuineness in Naruto's eyes and couldn't help but feel a strong attachment to him. She rested her head on his chest and with a teardrop thought

'If only we could make it work.'

After a bit of running, Naruto stopped by an unknown cave. He entered the cave since it would prove to be the only place where both he and Koyuki could rest. So with one hand still holding Koyuki, he made a single hand sign and a scroll appeared in his hand. He open the scroll and out came the camping materials, he made a Kage Bunshin to set up Koyuki's tent. Once it was set, Naruto dispersed the Kage Bunshin, and gently placed Koyuki inside of her tent, before getting up to leave. However, before he could leave the tent, Koyuki grabbed his hand with both of hers and desperately shouted

"Don't leave me!"

Naruto cocked an eyebrow and told Koyuki

"Koyuki, I'm just going to my tent, I won't be leaving you, I'll literally just be a few steps away."

""No! please, stay with me, every time someone walks away from me just a little bit, they leave and never come back!" Kyouki shouted with both a shaky voice and tears leaking out of her eyes.

Naruto saw the genuine tears going down her face and knew that he couldn't deny her of her wish. So with an exhale of breath, he laid down beside her and said

"Ok, I'll be right by your side, don't worry Koyuki-Chan."

As soon as Naruto laid down right beside her, Koyuki embraced him with a flushed face (Her face flushed because he called her Chan). Naruto blushed at this and was going to separate her hands from his body. But judging from the grip she had on him, as well as the tears streaming down her face, Naruto realized that she needed him, so he just left her alone.

"Good night" he said to her.

"Sweet dreams Naruto-Kun" Koyuki said before going to sleep, with her head planting on Naruto's chest.

(Koyuki's Dream)

Koyuki was a little girl again, in a pitch black room. She was confused and started worrying about herself. But then her Mother appeared right in front of her.

"K-Kaa-Chan?" She stammered in question. "Kaa-Chan, please don't leave us again!?"

"Don't worry my Daughter, I'll always stay right by your side no matter what" her Mother said.

However, her Mother began to disappear Into thin Air, and while this was happening, Koyuki was begging her mother not to leave. But after just a bit, her mother was gone. But then the sound of air forming in the back of her started to overtake her hearing.

Koyuki turned around and was now facing, then talking with her Father.

"Koyuki, remember, I will bring spring into this Country, and show you as well as everyone else in this Country, the joys of that season" her Father said, before disappearing into thin air as well.

"T-Tou-San!? Tou-San please don't leave me too!?" Koyuki loudly begged before her Father vanished.

She dropped to her hands and knees and began to ball her fists. She then yelled out

"Why do they always leave me alone!?"

(Real World, Morning)

Koyuki woke up with wide eyes, flailing, and screaming. Afterwards, she began breathing and panting heavily, untill she realized that she wasn't looking at Naruto, she was looking at a wall of her tent. She began to get worried that she was abandoned again, so she bolted up right and look left and right for Naruto, only to see that he was still right by her side, she just woke up facing the wrong side. She breathed a sigh of relief and didn't hear Naruto as he woke up (The screaming woke him up).

"Koyuki-Chan, you're awake" he said while waking up.

"Yeah, I am Naruto-Kun" she said with a tear stricken smile.

"Why are you crying?"

"Oh, it's nothing Naruto-Kun, I guess I'm just worried about the mission."

"Well don't worry, like I said, I won't let anything bad happen to you or the Country, Koyuki-Chan."

"Thank you Naruto-Kun."

"It's fine, but I think we should get moving Koyuki-Chan."

"Right Naruto-Kun."

And so they began sealing everything back into the scrolls they came from. Afterwards, they got back to their travelling.

Koyuki was starting to feel great depression from the traumatic dream she had and before either of them knew it, she grabbed onto Naruto's arm as they were walking.

Naruto was caught off guard by this, blushed, and like when Koyuki embraced him, Naruto was about to separate them, before seeing the agony in Koyuki's eyes. But instead of just letting Koyuki grab on to him, he asked Koyuki

"What's wrong?"

Koyuki had her eyes closed, but opened them after hearing the question. She then stammered

"W-what do you m-mean?"

"The agony I see in your eyes, you want to cry, but you just can't. Something is bothering you and it's not the mission. So I want to know what it is, please, will you tell me so I can help you?"

Koyuki seperated herself from Naruto and stood right in front of him, with her back facing him. She then explained

"You see, I had a terrible nightmare of the days where both my mother and father left me, right after promising me that they never would."

"Oh, for how long have you been having these nightmares?" Naruto asked.

"Ever since I left The Land of Snow."

Naruto couldn't take it and thought

'I can't believe it, she's been having these nightmares for years?' But then, he made a realization , gasped and in a worried voice, he said "Wait a minute, Koyuki, these aren't nightmares you're having, they're night terrors."

"Is that bad?" She asked.

"Mentally, they are, physically, they are not" Naruto answered. "It's rare for them to have any mental effect on an adult, but what worries me is that you've been having these ever since you were just a little girl."

"I don't know what to say, but" Koyuki started but was interrupted by a Kunai almost stabbing her in the head.

"Watch out!" Naruto shouted as he grabbed Koyuki by the arm and threw her onto his back (He was giving her a piggy back ride).

Naruto would have ran, had they not been in a circle formed by a bunch of Ninja.

"Give up the girl and we might let you live" said one of the men.

Naruto simply smirked and huskily said

"Over my dead body, close your eyes Koyuki."

After this was said, he whipped out One Kunai and attacked the group of men that were surrounding them. He was far too fast for any of them to keep up with and he ended up making short work of them all.

Naruto turn his head to look at Koyuki and asked her

"Are you hurt?"

"N-no" she answered.

Naruto then walked over to the man that first tried to attack Koyuki. Once he reached the man, he grabbed him by the collar, and yelled out

"I let you live for One reason! Do have any allies?! answer me!"

"J-Just One, O-Orochimaru" The man stammered without much breath.

"Orochimaru huh? That must mean he's got some Curse Seal Warriors at his disposal" Naruto surmised. "Well that's all I needed you for, your eyes closed Koyuki."

After this was said, Koyuki did as she was told, and Naruto killed the man without any hesitation.

Afterwards, with Koyuki still on Naruto's back, he told her

"Hang on tight."

And sped through the entirety of the journey to the Land of Snow in a matter of seconds (He now memorize the map and decided to Koyuki was strong enough to hold on to him). As soon as they entered the borders of The Land of Snow, they unsealed the scrolls to take out heavy coats, pants, and gloves in order to progress further. After they were done, they crossed the borders and entered The Land of Snow.

"You holding up Naruto-Kun?" Koyuki asked.

"Oh yeah I'm fine, I've been through worse climates during training with Pervy Sage. Anyway, we should start walking now."

"Of course" Koyuki replied before both started walking towards the Mountain they needed to arrive at.

Both knew that there was bound to be Cursed Seal Warriors and other Ninja waiting for them, so they kept their guard up and ventured further.

Naruto was in front of Koyuki with a Kunai out, shielding her. And thanks to the sound of large snowballs hitting the ground with impact, both turned around to see Ten Warriors all staring them down.

Naruto grabbed Koyuki and once again, got her into a piggyback ride.

All Ten Warriors then showed the curse mark on all of their necks, Naruto and Koyuki saw as all of them transformed.

"Five, Bulls and Five Wolves, alright, let's go" Naruto said. 'Only minor problem is that since Koyuki is holding on to me, I can't use any of my tails (Because Koyuki would get burned if he did, but it's only minor since he knew for a fact that none of them were stronger than Gon).'

Naruto was able to keep up with all 10 warriors with relative ease, but didn't get cocky since he knew that more could arrive.

He whipped Two Kunai out and started stabbing them all with Chakra Enhanced Stabs.

One of the bulls came at him, but was stopped by a Chakra Enhanced Elbow to the nose. Two Wolves came at him, but were both stopped by a Chakra Enhanced Dropkick. The Three Curse Seal Warriors, dropped dead on the ground.

'Three down, Seven to go' Naruto thought.

All Seven Curse Seal Warrior attacked Naruto at once. They lunged, but Naruto simply extended both Kunai to their side (Left and right), laced both with Chakra, and spun with blinding speeds.

The Seven Warriors were all immediately killed after diving right into this fan attack.

After they died Naruto looked at Koyuki and saw that she was very dizzy. He apologize and she accepted, afterwards he just kept going with Koyuki still on his back.

(The Mountain)

Naruto and Koyuki were both at the beginning of the mountain. Naruto stretched, and that's when Koyuki reluctantly said

"You can let me down now, I can climb by myself now."

"Nah, it's fine and who said anything about climbing?" Naruto said with a question at the end.

Koyuki was confused and was about to ask Naruto what he meant by that, but she got her answer when he just started running up the mountain at his top speed (With weights on).

"How are you doing this!?" She shouted in question.

"You didn't know that Ninja could manipulate Chakra to their feed in order to walk through large walls or in this case mountains!" Naruto answered with a question of his own.

Koyuki didn't answer and instead it snuggled on to Naruto's neck, since she found his mere presence warm and safe. But after just a few more seconds, both were at the top of the mountain.

"And we're here" Naruto said calmly.

Oh, thank you so much Naruto-Kun" Koyuki said with a smile.

"And here's where it all endsss" said a familiar voice.

Naruto looked in front of him, then while his gritting his teeth, he said

"Orochimaru."

"You know him Naruto-Kun?" Koyuki asked.

"Yeah he tried to abduct a friend of mine more than once and also try to attack the leaf more than once" Naruto said while gritting his teeth.

"And that's not all" said a voice familiar to Koyuki but not Naruto.

"U-Uncle/Dotō?" Koyuki stammered/Naruto said in confusion.

But both Naruto and Koyuki got confused and a bit scared when they saw multiple masked Curse Seal Warriors (Ten Hyenas and Ten Cheetahs we're the masks and forms) surround them.

Naruto shook off the fear, immediately brought out Two Kunai, then said

"It looks pretty bad right now. I would say stay close to me, but that would be suicide for both of us. I got a better idea."

"Attack!" Orochimaru and Doto commanded all Twenty Curse

Seal Warriors, while they themselves were lunging to attack.

Naruto and Koyuki were both still in the piggyback position, but Naruto quickly turned around, and hugged Koyuki tightly. He then let out an explosive Kunai, which exploded and it covered a majority of the area in both snow and smoke. When both the smoke and snow settled, only Naruto stood in their original position.

"Where did the princesss go?" Orochimaru hissed in question.

"Far from here" was all Naruto said before bringing out both

"Far from here" was all Naruto said before bringing out both Kunai and lunging at all Twenty-Two of the enemies with his One Tail.

With One swipe of his Kunai Naruto killed one of the Cheetah.

Curse Seal Warriors. They all (Except Orochimaru and Sōsetsu). charged at Naruto after the first kill... Naruto thrusted One Kunai at the heart of One of the Hyenas, but immediately ripped it back out and did a sideways swipe at the

throat of another Hyena.

Orochimaru and Doto were simply watching as Naruto fought off all of those Curse Seal Warriors.

"The boy is doing fine, but that's to be expected from the one that defeated Gon" Orochimaru said.

"I could see why he was allowed to come alone, not even some Jonin could take care of that amount of Cursed Seals" Dotō said.

"Very true" Orochimaru replied.

Naruto was slicing through as many of the Warriors as he could. There were only Ten left now, but they were relatively strong (Not as strong as Gon but still strong). One got him into a headlock, but Naruto simply elbowed that Cheetah's ribs over and over again until it died.

A Hyena lunged forward at Naruto, but was simply pushed by Naruto, and fell to the ground unconscious. Three (One Hyena and Two Cheetahs) decided to subdue Naruto. They did this by each locking on to an appendage (The Hyena locked onto the head, and both Cheetahs took an arm).

However, Naruto simply punched both Cheetahs in the stomach and once they let go she started striking the Hyena's ribs with his elbows until he died again. Once he saw the last Curse Seal Warriors charge at him, Naruto simply extended both hands and called out

"Rasenrengan!"

And after clashing with the stomach of two of them, both Rasengans pierced through them, and went to the last ones killing them. After they died, Naruto turn towards both And after clashing with the stomach of two of them, both Rasengans pierced through them, and went to the last ones, killing them. After they died, Naruto turn towards both Orochimaru and Dotō, then yelled

"Step up and fight me!"

Sōsetsu was frozen in fear, but Orochimaru stepped up to fight.

"Let's see what you can do Fox" he hissed.

And with that being said, both locked hands. Naruto obviously had the edge in physical strength, so Orochimaru was being pushed back. but after being pushed back just a little, Orochimaru started laughing, then he jumped away, reached to his back, and called out

"Kusanagi No Tsurugi: Ku No Tachi!"

And immediately the Kusanagi he brought out at that moment had a beam it's blade.

Orochimaru then lunged forward ready to kill Naruto. Naruto brought out a regular Kunai and then both clashed blades Orochimaru had the edge in this case and with just a few hand signs, he called out

"Futon: Daitoppa!

Naruto was immediately launched back and cut deeply. With a growl of pain, he stood his ground, stayed still, and after just a bit, an extra Tail appeared. He then stepped back and launched himself at Orochimaru again, with his Chakra Covered Kunai even more filled with Fox chakra.

They clashed again, and this time it looked to be in favor of Naruto Orochimaru's power was proving no match against the Chakra covering Naruto.

So he leaped back and charged again.

They just kept trading Kunai blows, whether it be a vertical, horizontal, or edge slice. This went on for about Ten minutes, until Orochimaru realized he was the only one taking damage from these blows and jumped back again before making hand signs and calling out

"Kuchiyose: Sanju Rashōmon!"

Instantly huge, defensive, symbolic walls covered Orochimaru's front side.

Naruto used all his and the Fox's Power and Chakra to break through all of them and stab Orochimaru dead on, in the chest (It took all of Naruto and the amount of the Fox's Chakra Naruto had, because of Orochimaru's own power). After the stab was made, Naruto made sure to stab Orochimaru Fifteen more times in order to actually bring him down.

Orochimaru was gasping for air, he couldn't believe this kid's strength, but he grinned.

Naruto saw this grin and questioned

"What's so funny?"

"Just... This! Yamata No Jutsu!"

A giant Hydra made up of Eight Snakes appeared right in front of Naruto.

The Hydra leapt at Naruto and tried to bite him. Naruto manage to barely avoid one of the bites, but took the next one entirely and directly.

"Ahh!" Naruto yelled in agony as the snake pierced through his flesh..

"Die, die, die!" Orochimaru yelled in joy as the snake continued to bite Naruto.

Naruto didn't know what else he could do. He couldn't use Jutsu,

this was his limit with tails, and he was stuck.

"Naruto-Kun!" Koyuki shouted,

Naruto his turned his head and saw her, he then yelled

"What are you doing!? You're supposed to be hiding!"

"I'm sorry Naruto-Kun, but I just had to tell you, don't give up hope, you're stronger than this and I know it, you can win!"

Dotō then grabbed Koyuki and yelled

"Enough you imbecile!"

Before striking the girl in the face with Kunai.

Koyuki then fell to the ground lifeless.

"Oh well time for you to join her!" Shouted Orochimaru. "Die!"

And with that being said, the other seven snakes lungs that Naruto with open mouths ready to bite them down.

But, before they could, Naruto snapped. Chakra from the Nine-Tailed Fox oozed out of him like crazy, until Four Tails were seen behind the boy and he was cloaked in a Red and Black figure.

"ROAR!" Naruto roared.

He was dropped to the ground by the Hydra (Because it was getting burned from just touching the boy) and once he was he held up his red and black arm, brought out his claws, and pierced right through the Hydra in One swipe.

The Hydra hissed in agony before Naruto came right back at it and killed it with just Five Swipes, leaving a beating and bruised Orochimaru on the ground. Naruto then turned his attention to the man who killed his friend.

Dotō immediately got to his knees and begged for his life, but

what he was facing was not Naruto (Even if it was, he still

wouldn't show Mercy) but rather a Demon straight from Hell. Naruto brought his hand up, then down, and crushed the uncle of his former friend, killing him instantly.

But Naruto didn't stop there, he was going on a rampage and hitting anything that stood in his way. Whether it be an animal, a tree, or anything at all. He then saw some people, innocent people that were scared of what they were seeing this wasn Naruto though, and he was about to dive straight at the people and kill them all without any Mercy, but someone held him down.

"NARUTO-KUN!"

Naruto heard from inside that monster he was in, the voice, it was Koyuki. She was hugging his back. Naruto, could hear and smell flesh burning, as well as cries of agony. It was all Koyuki.

"MY UNCLE'S DEAD AND I'M ALIVE! YOU SAVED US ALL NARUTO-KUN! I KNOW YOU'RE STILL IN THERE, SO PLEASE LISTEN TO ME! I LOVE YOU, PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!" Koyuki screamed as her entire body started to burn.

Naruto turned around to face Koyuki, which broke her hold on him. Koyuki looked at his eyes and after seeing him lean his head closer to her, she kissed him.

Naruto turned back into his regular self after almost Two minutes of this kiss (He was back, but he was horribly scarred after turning back, due to his skin turning blood Red.). He was exhausted, but looked at Koyuki, and asked her

"Did you?' But was interrupted by Koyuki.

"Yes I really meant it Naruto-Kun" She said weakly (Weakly because of how drained and close to death she is from hugging and kissing him with Four Tails) with a smile on her scarred face, and while placing her hand on Naruto's cheek.

Naruto swallowed a lump in his throat (He swallowed a lump in his throat because he was worried about hurting her in her condition) and kissed Koyuki.

Once the kiss broke, Koyuki asked Naruto

"Can you really still love me, even though I look hideous now?"

"I couldn't careless about how you look, because you will always be beautiful to me. You saved me from myself and you gave me a purpose, at the risk of your life. I love you and I don't care how you look right now or how you will look in the future, but, we can't be together" Naruto said sadly.

"Because of our age gap Naruto-Kun, I know."

"No, it's not that. Koyuki-Chan, you have an entire country that depends on you and so do I, but they're not the same One, which is why we can't be together, no matter how much I love you."

Koyuki realize that Naruto was right, she was unbelievably happy to know that it wasn't the age gap that made dating her undoable. But still, not being able to be with the boy she fell in love with, was hurting her deeply.

"Aww, look at the happy couple" said an exhausted and beaten Orochimaru.

Naruto stepped up to Orochimaru with a Kunai at hand, and with a hand shielding Koyuki.

"Stay away from her and this Country Orochimaru" Naruto said with a growl.

"I have no interest in this land anymore, so I will leave now Orochimaru said before doing what he said he would.

Naruto put his Kunai down and looked at Koyuki once again. He then put a hand on her shoulder and said

"I wish there was a way for us to be together, but there isn't, and

I'm sorry."

"There's no need to apologize Naruto-Kun, but I wish so too.

"There is" said an unfamiliar voice to both of them.

Naruto and Koyuki turned around, and as soon as they did, Koyuki ran up to the person, hugged him, and shouted

"Tou-San!"

Naruto perked up after hearing these words and asked the man

"Wait, how are you alive? I thought that you were killed by Dotō?"

"Almost, he stabbed me once and left me to die, but I held on to dear life and managed to escape with just enough strength to get medical help. However, once I found out about his power, both physically and statistically, I knew that I stood no chance. But I knew that you escaped to another place Koyuki, so I put my faith in you and waited, and it looks like I made the right decision my daughter" Sõsetsu Kazahana said.

"Wait, so you're" Naruto started but who was interrupted by Sosetsu who said

"Yes, I will rule over this land for as long as I need to, because thanks to you, my daughter is safe, and she so happened to fall in love with you and you fell in love with her as well. if my daughter will be happy somewhere else that isn't here, I'll be the with it, especially after seeing how much of a great person you are."

Naruto and Koyuki were both happy, but Naruto knew he had to tell them about Two things before anything was made official. So, with an exhale of breath, he said

"Wait, just wait. There's Two things I need to tell you both."

Koyuki looked at the boy she has grown to love and asked "What is it Naruto-Kun?"

"I have Five Girlfriends already and before you ask, I'm not

cheating on any of them." This shocked about Koyuki and her Father, but Koyuki quickly

shook it off, and said

"I don't care if I have to share you Naruto-Kun, as long as I get to be with you."

Sōsetsu was also shocked to hear that this boy was in want some people would call a harem. He was a bit agitated by the fact that his daughter would be part of this also, but he shook it off since, like he said before, Naruto was a great person. He then said

"What's the other thing Naruto?"

Naruto take a deep breath, then exhale, and explained

"I'm half immortal. I can't die by age and will stop aging when I turn 18. The same thing will happen to the women that I end up with, unless they're older than 18, in which case they stay how they look at that point in time, but the same thing will happen to our children. Are you sure that's what you want?

Koyuki's love for Naruto still didn't alter and she nodded her head in acceptance.

"How does it happen?" Koyuki asked.

Naruto motion for her to get closer to him and when she was, he looked at her father and told him

"You might not want to be here for this."

Sōsetsu understood what was about to happen to Koyuki and agreed that he wouldn't want to be there for what the boy was about to do to his only daughter. So he left the scene, but not before saying

"Goodbye."

And without another word, Sōsetsu ran back to the Area he was going to rule again.

Meanwhile, Naruto pulled Koyuki's shirt collar to the side, bit

down, and sucked harshly.

This action hurt Koyuki for a bit, until sometime past, and she found pleasure in it. She begin morning after a few seconds and it started rubbing the back of Naruto's head. After a good Two minutes, Naruto separated his head from Koyuki's neck. Koyuki didn't want him to stop let it go for now. Then she saw Naruto pull his own shirt collar to the side and also heard Naruto say

"Your turn."

Koyuki didn't hesitate and bit down before sucking harshly on Naruto's neck. Once she was done, they held hands and said

"I love you to each other before kissing.
