Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of the Merc and the Medic. Enjoy the 1500-word chapter. I don't own Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto and a few others do.

(Konoha, Sakura and Marmora's home.)

Marmora kicked at the target before forming a Sea Sword and slashed another target in half.

He panted before he leaned down and rested on the gate next to him before he turned and stabbed into a third target.

Sakura watched before a kunai from a tripwire instantly spring, he managed to dodge them, but a kunai grazed his arm, drawing blood.

He didn't wince, he tossed the 2 kunai he caught to the ground, he hummed and looked at Sakura while he panted.

"You're getting a lot better, but I wouldn't stop training." Sakura stated, Marmora brushed off his arms and sighed.

"You act like I'm not going to be doing that over and over. We haven't defeated Shin and whoever his bosses are… If he has any. I want to know how he was able to operate under Orochimaru without the guy knowing at least something about a former experiment of his." Marmora stated, he sighed and looked at his wounded arm.

"He's probably been able to observe Orochimaru and figure out how to hide in his blind spots. He probably wasn't expecting that something from his past would be willing to come crawling out of…. Wherever he came from. I really don't want to know what Orochimaru was trying to do when he made a monster like Shin." Sakura said, Marmora hummed and cracked his neck before he looked at his girlfriend.

"I think we should go and tell the Hokage. Naruto has to know about Shin, I don't know if Orochimaru would tell him, but I doubt he would really give away information that easily. I know how dangerous information is and someone can easily abuse it… I also like to point out that Naruto would probably want a firsthand report, we were the ones who fought Shin." He said before he slowly marched past her.

His control over his Charka was starting to improve. He didn't know how much further he had to go, but he had a lot of time to do things.

He would be ready for Shin when he came back, he didn't want to pass out when he fought the Uchiha wannabe.

"You're going already? He never sent us a summons." Sakura said, Marmora brushed off his clothes and turned to look at her.

"He asked for us, Sasuke told me it… Hey, Sakura? I'm not trying to be snarky… Actually I am. I… Would like to go on another date with you, an actual one." He said before Sakura blinked.

"You're a damn idiot, you can't just ask a girl out!" Sakura yelled; Marmora crossed his arms.

"I did, I'll pay for another fancy restraint, then we could go to see a movie and watch stars or something. Sakura, we met by bumping into each other, you guilted me into paying for an unofficial date. I then paid for the house and then you helped deliver a baby while we also fought an evil experiment created by Orochimaru when he was crazy… crazier," He said. Sakura watched him walk around her, a smirk on his face.

"We haven't really been very normal. I think we should try, if you don't take me up on the idea by 8? I'll spend an entire day doing your exercises… And get the groceries." He said, Sakura sighed and smiled.

"I… Deal, but you're not going to be this bold next time. I want some warning, you idiot, ok?" She asked, Marmora shrugged.

"I might, I might not. You can flatten me in one hit, but you're never going to kill me. I can recover from a few minor broken bones, Sakura. I have dealt with a lot worse than broken bones." Marmora said and then he walked away.

"We still need to tell Naruto about Shin, he will want to know personally, and Sasuke told me he sent us a summons during our time in Otagakure. I just think he didn't want to distract you from helping Karin so that's why he didn't tell you." Marmora said before he leapt to the roof and then into the street.

Sakura sighed and followed Marmora.

(20 minutes later)

Marmora and Sakura next to each other while they looked at Naruto who was on his computer.

"Shin?" He asked, Marmora hummed and cleared his throat before Sakura spoke up first.

"He's an experiment for Orochimaru. He captured Marmora and then me and brought him to one of Orochimaru's old bases." She stated, Marmora followed up on this.

"He has many Sharingan eyes and he's a lot stronger than I thought. He has… Clone 'sons' or something, they all have the eyes. He engaged both of us after Sakura and me broke out." Marmora put in; Naruto sighed.

"I heard from Orochimaru a few things…" He said, Marmora wanted to speak before he groaned in pain.

Naruto and Sakura looked at him before he collapsed to the ground and Kuraokami appeared in an astral form.

"I apologize for that; it takes a lot of energy to do that and I forgot you haven't entirely mastered your Charka… I give it a week." He stated, Naruto and Sakura blinked.

"KURAOKAMI!" Sakura yelled; the dragon waved before turning to the Hokage.

"Sakura, you know him?" Naruto asked, Kuraokami shrugged.

"She has spoken to me mentally. I couldn't pass up an opportunity to introduce myself to the Hokage. Marmora, I am glad we could finally meet… I still wish you could tap into my power without puking up a rib… But I'm sure Sakura can help with that." He said before clearing his throat.

"I am the god of rain and snow, Kuraokami. I never seem to have much time to talk since Marmora hasn't tapped into all his power." He said, Naruto blinked.

"Marmora's Jutsu? Artic Armor: Samurai of the Snow? Marmora used it to protect the Haruno girl. I will clear up your confusion, Marmora… Your father used that Jutsu and many you've used. You are from a long line of assassins and soldiers." Kuraokami said, waving his hand back and forth.

"I suppose it would be better to compare it to Naruto's tailed forms with the perfect version being similar to the Susanoo… Or Naruto's Nine Tailed Charka form. Marmora has mastered the power of a roaring dragon in my vision." He said, Naruto hummed, he had seen enough insane things to shrug off what Kuraokami is.

"Naruto Uzumaki of the Leaf? You are hunted, as are Sasuke and other powerful Shinobi. An organization comes to burn you and Konoha to ash. You must prepare to fight." He said while Marmora coughed.

"My father… Made a Jutsu?" He asked, Kuraokami cleared his throat.

"I will tell you more later, send a Jonin tomorrow, Hokage." He said before he flickered.

"I had a vision of you and your son fighting a very powerful warrior, Marmora's path isn't to engage this group, only 2… But his path is to duel a warrior from the Otsutsuki clan. I know you have dueled Kaguya, this warrior is worse… Marmora and his clash will shatter the dimension they duel in… Sakura? You must help Marmora master his full power, or this warrior will destroy you all." He said before flickering again.

"I will contact you ever 2 to 3 days, I will require time to spawn summon the energy to reform and speak. I believe that will slowly vanish and then will die out altogether as Marmora grows stronger and can tap more into my power… I am not a tailed beast, Hokage. I know you slowly tapped into Kurama's power, I do not possess his massive Charka, nor his ability to destroy the world. I was once above even them, but I know they have surpassed me… As have you and your team." Kuraokami said he turned to Sakura.

"I hope to speak again, I must leave… Heal the kid, he and I need to talk next time. You both can monitor it." He said before he vanished entirely.

The entire room was silent, Sakura was glad she was going on a date with Marmora… He would need to unwind and be monitored.

Naruto thought over the information while Sakura started to heal Marmora, he coughed and slowly climbed to his feet, blood on his lips.

"I see we have more to talk about." Naruto said before he looked over Marmora who coughed and looked at him.

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out that Marmora isn't going to surpass Sasuke and Naruto and he's not going to rip off Sasuke or Naruto, your see next chapter. I also want to point out I'm not going to rush the romance. Next chapter will be on Sunday or someday next week and will show Marmora and Sakura's date and Kara's plan to attack Konoha, until then, Lighting Wolf out!
