Tsunade was in trouble. Jaraiya was fighting there ex-teammate Orochimaru but was poisoned. Now they fought on eventterms. In front of Tsunade, was Orochimaru's right-handed man, Kabuto. Tsunade would normally not be petrified if Kabuto hadn't thrown blood at her. He was about to kill her off when he heard someone say," Hauringu Kaji!" Kabuto jumped out of the way in time to see a fox of fire come at him. Next, Kabuto saw a green blur coming towards him. He jumped, only to get slashed by Naruto's Gauntlet. Landing down, Kabuto began to heal his wound.

" Well,well,well, Naruto-Kun, It's good to see you againm. Now move aside, this isnt for a pathetic genin like you. Naruto just drew his sword and took his stand. Kabuto charged at him, his hangs glowing green, with chakra. Naruto just put his blade faced down and yelled," Dance of the Full Moon!" and started his deadly dance.Kabuto was suprised, when did he learn this. Kabuto luckily, had dodged the slashes Naruto made. Kabuto then charged at Naruto and attacked him. The four-eyed nin smirked when he got Naruto's left leg and right arms, making him fall and drop hjis sword. Kabuto then started to taunt him.

" hehe, see Naruto-kun? You are weak. I bet you, your parents abandoned you because they knew you were going to be a pathetic, dead-last, annoying ninja." Kabuto didnt notice that Kyuubi was healing Naruto, so he just continued with his rant.

" .. maybe I'm wrong. Maybe your father died and sold your mother to a wherehouse. Maybe she was the one of the ones I played with."

That was it. Naruto then grabbed his gauntlet and pulled it off. Putting his hands into a familiar seal he yelled," Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!" Then four Naruto clones came, one started doing hand seals, while the others folowed. Then one yelled," Howling Fire" and shot it at Kabuto, who jumped into the air. He was soon followed by two other clones, one doing The Dance of the Crescent Moon, the other, doing Dance of the Full Moon.

Dodging the best he could, Jabuto was knockedd to the ground when he heard another Naruto clone shout," Houkou Anei!" and came at him with a black claw as his arm. Unfortunately (or fortunately), Kabuto wasnt fast enough to dodge the attack fully, thus, rendering his right arm dead. Grunting in pain, he grabbed a hunai and destroyed all of Naruto's clones. He then charged at the boy. Baruto didnt dodge the attack but caught it in his left hand. Looking to Tsunade, he smirked.

" This is when you give me your necklace baa-chan" he then started to form a ball in his right hand. His last clone suddenly appeared behind Kabuto then grabbed him making huim unable to escape. Naruto then yelled, " Eat this! RESENGAN!" and rammed the spinning blue ball into Kabutos face. Kabuto was then shot out to a boulder, when the smoke cleared, he was seen as dead. Shortly after that, Naruto blacked out due to the strain of Kyuubi's power coming to him. Before blacking out, he said four words," That was for kaa-san." Darkness soon claimed him.

Naruto woke up in a white room. He looked around and figured he was in a hospital. Trying to get up, Naruto noticed someone was lying on his arm. He smiled when it was Tenten. He watched her as she slept and didn't have the heart to wake her until he heard her say,

" Naruto-kun, please be alright, I love you."

Naruto smiled at that as he leaned over to her as close as he could get to her and whispered, " I love you to, Ten-chan." he then kissed her on her cheek, and at that moment, she woke up. When her eyes were focused, Tenten noticed that she wasn't the only one awake. Turning, her eyes met with Naruto's blue eyes. For a few seconds, the two just sat there, staring into the others eyes until Tenten jumped at Naruto, landing a nice kiss on her boyfriend. They only broke for air, when someone entered the room. Both of them blushed in embarassment when Shizune giggled at them.

" You don't have to be shy about loving someone, Naruto-kun. If Tsunade-sama saw this, what do you think she would do?" Shizune asked. When Tenten heard Tsunade's name, she got exited.

" Tsunade-hime of the Legendary Three? Naruto-kun, how do you know her? Can you introduce me? Pleeease? She's my hero." Tenten asked longingly. Naruto smiled and said, " First, how long was I out: Shizune answered for him.

" Youv'e been out for three days. We arrive in Konoha last night. Tenten has been here since nine pm." Naruto smiled at his girlfriend and ull her into kiss her on her cheek which she giggled to. He turned to shizune and asked," Shizune, where is Tsunade?" Which earned him a smack to the back of the head by Tenten. She then said " Naruto, Even though I love you, I can't let you get away with insulting the Gondaime."

Naruto just grinned and said," Shizune, can I go now? I need to talk to Tsunade." The nurse nodded and he left with Tenten. A few minutes later they found themselves in front of and irritated Hokage. Tsunade slapped him in the back of the head while yelling at him.

"Naruto you baka! How dare you make us worry about you? Hm? Who's this with you, Naruto?" the blonde women asked when she noticed Tenten. Naruto rubbed the bump on his head.

" Gees baa-chan, why do you hit me so hard? I'm not like Ero-sennin you know. And this is Aragane Tenten, my girlfriend. She's a very big fan of yours." Tenten squealedin joy when Naruto introduced her to her idol. She continued to squeal, thank him, and kiss him, all at the same time. Tsunade laughed, but stopped when Naruto's face became serious when he said,

" Tsunade no-baachan, I request permission to leave Konoha for three months."

Tsunade was shocked when she heard his request.

" Why do you want to leave, Naruto?" Tenten asked, slightly afraid of his answer. Naruto looked at Tenten, who had a sad look on her face, hugged her and said, " I need to find the living relatives of Hoshigaki Umi."

Now Tsunade was confused, " Why Hoshigaki Umi, Naruto?"

Naruto smiled sadly, if you looked in his eyes, you could see all the pain in his them.

" She's my Kaa-san"
