Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of the Merc and the Medic. Enjoy the 1100-word chapter. I don't own Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto and a few others do.

(Hidden Leaf Village, training ground 3)

Marmora groaned and looked around before he heard a voice that made his hair stand up.

"So… You're the one who brought criminals here…" He said and looked in front of him.

Standing in front of him was Naruto… The same one who was probably the most legendary Ninja in the entire world.

"I…. Why are you here? You're the leader of the entire village." He said before Naruto leapt down off the post he was on.

Marmora knew he was a fly, an insignificant, pathetic gnat. He could master every power, ability and weapon and still not be in the league of the ninja.

Now all he was missing was to see Sasuke and he would have met all of team 7.

"You got into a public fight with masked soldiers in Konoha and expect me to not notice?" Naruto asked, Marmora looked at the Hokage and sighed.

"I'm sorry… For even coming here." He said, Naruto pulled something from under the cloak.

"This is from Amegakure… I've seen these symbols before… When…" The Hokage started to say before Marmora climbed to his feet and looked at the legendary ninja.

"When Pain laid waste to the city… Yes, Danuja loves the fear Pain and his group put into people." He said while Naruto walked up to Marmora leaned on the pillar behind him.

"Sakura is fine, I've told her that you're here." Naruto simply said, Marmora nodded.

"How do you know who I am? I'm nobody compared to you." He said, he turned and rubbed at his head.

"Your close to one of my best friends and you have an entire syndicate and possibly more coming after you… You're not hard to notice when you have criminals coming to attack you every single day." Naruto said.

Marmora cracked his knuckles while he turned to Naruto.

"You going to kill me? You think I've asked to be hunted because my teacher decided to tick off the biggest crime lord where I used to live?" He asked, he looked at his bruises that were still from his fight.

Naruto was many things, but he wasn't stupid. He knew that, he saw Naruto adjust his cloak.

"I remember when you had much spiker hair." He joked; Naruto hummed.

"I'm not concerned about the attacks… I know Danuja isn't stupid enough to attack all of Fire Country. He's interested in more than just you here… I'm warning you not to get Sakura hurt." Naruto said.

"Marmora!" Marmora heard Sakura yell before Marmora turned to Naruto.

"Don't pull anyone else into this or cause more trouble… Or we're talk again…" Naruto said and then he was gone.

Marmora slumped down the pillar before Sakura ran onto the field and noticed Marmora.

She ran over to Marmora before he turned to look at her.

"I can't go more than 10 minutes before someone trying to kill you, can I?" She asked while Marmora groaned before he sighed.

"Oh, I'm just wondering what would make you come back and I thought that getting attacked by more of Danuja's thugs would honestly." He stated before he turned to look at Sakura while she hummed and started healing him.

"You make this a hobby I'M going to break your legs." Sakura muttered while Marmora laughed before he groaned as his injuries started to catch up to him before slowly starting to subside.

(Sakura's Home, 30 minutes later.)

Marmora hummed and laid on the sofa, he growled and then looked at his bandaged and bruised chest.

"Sakura…" He went to say before Sakura glared at him with pure anger.

"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!" Sakura yelled, Marmora winced and shrank back into the sofa. He looked down at the ground before Sakura rubbed her temples and sighed. Marmora flinched and then was silent, Marmora watched Sakura sit next to him while she started to look directly over his wounds.

Marmora felt her hands crossing over his back while she sighed and looked over his bruises.

"What happened? You say 'I don't know.' I'm going to be angry…." She said, Marmora sighed and turned to look at the Jonin.

"I got attacked by Danuja's elite soldiers… 2 of them. I took one down but passed out from using another Charka move…" Marmora said, Sakura clonked him on the head and he groaned with pain.

"You're going to kill yourself…. Your body can't take the strain… Marmora, are all of your moves Water Style?" She asked, Marmora hummed and nodded.

"I live in Amegakure, water based Jutsu are common." He stated before he frowned.

"You're asking where I get some of the ability to throw water out… It's from my own body, that's why I keep coughing up…" He said, Sakura turned his head to look her in the eye.

"Your beating the crap out of your own body…. Marmora, you are a bigger idiot then I thought Naruto used to be. You… I am teaching you Charka control tomorrow before you end up vomiting up something important, I have to drag you to the hospital for surgery. I don't care if I have to stay up all night." Sakura stated before she allowed Marmora to put on his shirt.

"I spoke to Naruto today… He's the one who took down the other soldier… He questioned me about what happened and told me not to do anything that hurts you or anyone in Konoha." He said, Sakura frowned before she hummed.

"I didn't know Naruto was out and about. He's usually with his son and Hinata or doing work as Hokage." She said, Marmora nodded.

"You see the note on the front door?" He asked, Sakura nodded and then turned to Marmora.

"You sorry you got me worried?" She asked, Marmora nodded.

"You want to make it up to me?" She asked, Marmora nodded again.

"Your buying and I'm picking somewhere for us to go eat… Then we're doing what I want for the day." Sakura stated.

"Ok…. Wait, what…?" Marmora asked the smirking Sakura.

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out I tried to make Naruto serious and caring but I might have failed. I want to point out my intention is to make Marmora and Sakura bond over their pasts and connection as partners. Sasuke might show up… But Marmora and Sakura are going on a date next chapter. Until Wednesday or so, Lighting Wolf out!

Ps: I am not going to rush the romance; they aren't officially dating for another 15 or so chapters. And it will progress slowly.
