Hey guys here is the next chapter for you guys. I don't really have too much to say right now about it and you probably don't read these…whatever just enjoy this.

Naruto chakra molder 15

The funeral for Sarutobi was large and countless people showed up to watch him get a military burial. Course many people were sad to see their kage go but none were more upset than his family which Naruto was basically a part of. For while everyone eventually left the grave site the group of three eventually were the only ones left simply looking at the tombstone with tears threating to fall from their eyes.

They stayed there for a long time before Asuma finally forced Konohamaru away to make him start to head back to their home and was about to do the same with Naruto until he noticed a familiar girl walk up behind said boy. So, a small smile reached his face for a moment before his sadness destroyed it, still he walked away leaving Naruto to Hinata seeing as he knew she would comfort him better than he ever could.

"Come on Naruto-kun let's go get you home." Hinata tells Naruto in a gentle voice while hugging him from behind. Course she didn't get any response from her love. "He wouldn't have wanted you to just stand out here all day now would he?" She asked him then smiled slightly as he silently began to walk back to his home following Hinata who was leading him by the hand.

So, they slowly made it through Konoha which was easy to do seeing as most people were taking a day off to mourn for the lost. Course when they eventually made it to Naruto's apartment where he fumbled around with his keys until he eventually opened the door. Which lead to him soon getting another soothing hug from Haku when she noticed they came in. For she was already home since she left early to make dinner for Naruto who ended up not finding the desire to eat. Still they all simply kept walking with the two girls following the silent Naruto who walked all the way to his bed and he simply fell onto it. Course when he did this both Haku and Hinata followed after him then grabbed the bed's blanket and threw it over themselves as they both pulled close to Naruto; with Haku hugging him from behind and Hinata holding him close to her from his front to try their best to comfort the blond. Though they didn't say a word and simply were physically there for him until exhaustion finally took him into the dream realm after whispering thank you to the girls making them both smile slightly before they got comfortable as well and fell asleep soon after holding their boyfriend in their arms.

+Next Morning+

The three teenagers slept calmly for several hours until there was a loud knock that woke all of them up. Course they quickly decided to ignore the knocking in favor of going back to sleep in the comfortable spot they found themselves. But apparently this annoyed the person at the door seeing as they knocked even louder.

~Outside Apartment~

Kurenai was both worried and annoyed at the moment. For early in the morning she found out that the girl she thought of as a sister didn't make it home the night before. So, she quickly began to search for Hinata but couldn't find any form of a struggle at her last known location. After finding that out she quickly went over to one of the few places Hinata may have gone; Naruto's home. Now this fact alone made her annoyed to even think about but the fact she felt three chakra signatures in the house instead of two made her even more frustrated even if she was a bit relieved. Either way she quickly decided to get the resident's attention and began to knock loud enough to wake them up. Course after being ignored several times she felt her frustration boil over and quickly fried the the seal protecting the house and walked into the apartment after dodging several traps. She then walked over to where she sensed the people were only to quickly begin releasing her KI as she glared down at what she saw. For in front of her she saw Naruto, Hinata, and Haku still sleeping together…course after feeling Kurenai's KI they all quickly woke up with Naruto getting up in front of the girls to protect them with a chakra shield. Though after he saw it was Kurenai he quickly released the shield but remained tense as he watched her.

"Kurenai-sensei why are you here?" Naruto asks her slightly afraid.

"how dare you take it from her! And at such a depressing time!" She asks him furious confusing the still slightly naïve Naruto but caused Hinata to blush heavily.

"Kur-kur-kurenai-sensei we didn't have s-…do t-that. We just fell asleep." Hinata told her sensei who clearly didn't believe her.

"I knew this would happen if you dated! Now come with me away from this man." Kurenai ordered Hinata then walked over and grabbed her hand.

"No, I wanna stay with Naru-kun." Hinata told her teacher fighting to stay where she was.

"Not after catching you doing THAT you're not. You were too young yet you still did it anyway; I knew I shouldn't have let you date when you foolishly had your fantasies of true love" Kurenai told her then was forced to jump back when several green spike of chakra culled around from behind Hinata and tried to cut her arm off.

"You will not insult Hinata-hime while I am around." Naruto growled at her getting angry. Which normally wouldn't have made Kurenai stop seeing as she was a jonin and he was a genin but that was before she noticed something that raised the danger level. For when she looked in Naruto's eyes she saw them gain red spots showing that he was close to using the demon's yokai. Something that instantly caused the danger level of a fight to raise drastically.

"Stand down Naruto if you attack me then you will get in a lot of trouble. She is my student meaning that I have the right to do whatever I need to if I feel it is necessary." Kurenai told him thinking he wouldn't want to get in trouble. So, after saying this she reached for Hinata again only to notice the red color in Naruto's eyes growing making her stop and tense up for a possible attack instead.

An attack that would have come had Hinata not put a hand on Naruto's shoulder getting his attention and simply shook her head, which somehow calmed Naruto down. Course seeing as he was now calmer Kurenai soon went to get her student again only for said girl to glare at her.

"Kurenai while you do have a right to rule me as my sensei I am not completely under your control at any time. You have no right to say anything about my love life seeing as it has nothing to do with my career. Besides if you haven't noticed nothing happened, we are all fully dressed. Now either leave us alone or I will get YOU in trouble and request a new teacher."

Course the fact that she said that she would look for a new sensei was what made Kurenai snap out of her rage. For when that happened it was usually done due to the student being unable to work with their teacher. Meaning that: one of them disliked the other or simply because it was a bad teacher. Now normally would be ignored except for if there was a bad teacher but seeing as she was a Hyuuga it would be looked into. Though the reason this scared her so much was because that would mean that her 'sister' hated her. Which was something she never wanted to happen.

"Now Hinata you know I think of you like a sister. I mean I watched you grow up. I just want the best for you." Kurenai told the girl in a gentle voice though Hinata continued to give her one of her rare glares.

"And that is being with Naruto-kun."

"But he just slept with you and you are too you-"

"Nothing happened other than me comforting my sad boyfriend with Haku." Hinata told her and she finally noticed that she did indeed have all her closes on just like Naruto and Haku did. Course Hinata finally stopped glaring and walked over to her 'older sister' "I know you care about me sensei but I am old enough to do somethings by myself. So, while I appreciate your care please let me live my life instead of being shielded off from everything. Okay?" Hianta asks getting a nod as an answer after a few seconds causing her to hug the older woman. "Thank you." She told her happily then let go and looked at Naruto.
"I will be back I just need to change. And when I come back you better be ready to go do something today." She told him then walked towards her own home. After she left Naruto quickly walked up to Kurenai.

"Even with her saying that if I ever hurt her unintentionally I want you to tell me and punish me. Though for everyone else that does hurt her somehow let me be the one to punish them." He told her with an evil smile that made even Kurenai a bit worried.

"When he is protective he acts even scarier than Anko in her interrogation mode." Kurenai thinks slightly terrified but still smiled at the boy.

"Both of these I would gladly do." Kurenai told him with a smile. "And for what it is worth…sorry for automatically accusing you." She told him.

"Don't worry about it I mean it did look bad; besides I shouldn't have let my emotions control me so much." Naruto told her with a frown.

"…You know there is nothing wrong with protecting your girlfriend."

"Yes, but I shouldn't let myself fall into rage, or any other negative emotion."

"How sad, he trained himself to not be affected by the village, or was this caused by Sarutobi-sama I mean no wonder he acts alike a smiling goof, any other emotion he has he hides." Kurenai thinks as she looks down at the still clearly depressed boy. "Naruto it is okay to show your emotions." She told him kindly. Course before he could say anything a knock was heard at the door again. So, Naruto quickly went over to it masking his sadness before opening the door.

"Hello." Naruto called out falsely happy when he opened the door. "Oh, Kakashi-sensei what are you doing here?"

"Hey Naruto, just wanted to tell you that our team has a week off from training while Konoha recovers." Kakashi tells him.

"Okay sensei." Naruto told him then gave a large smile that made Kakashi smile a bit under his mask.

"Good now enjoy your time off…he would have wanted you too." Kakashi told him giving Naruto a brief knowing look then left.

"Now Kurenai-sensei you are welcome to stay but both of us must get changed and ready for the day seeing as Hina-hime apparently wants to do something today." Naruto told the older woman when he came back inside then walked into his bathroom. So, soon after he entered the bathroom Kurenai decided to leave the house but stayed on his rooftop curious as to what Hinata had planned.

+half an hour later+

Naruto was finally ready for the day…physically anyways. For if it was up to him he would have spent the day simply lying down wallowing in his depression like the rest of his grandfather's family was doing seeing as his death hit them all the hardest. Though he couldn't let himself wallow that much seeing as Hinata refused to leave him to it…and she was right about the fact that Sarutobi wouldn't want him not moving on. Still he didn't think about this for too long seeing as there was a knock at the door making him walk over to it instead. And when he did, he got to see Ino's smiling back at him.

"Hey Naruto-kun can I come in?" she asks him getting a nod in response and soon enough they both walked into Naruto's room and sat down. Course Haku joined them a few minutes later with some snacks seeing as neither Naruto or her ate since before the funeral. So, they all sat around simply eating in silence waiting for someone to break the silence.

"Um, Naruto first off I am sorry for not being there with you yesterday but my parents needed me at the flower shop…So, how are you holding up?" Ino asks still feeling a bit unsure about how to help a depressed person even with her training dealing with the mind.

(ANE note that my idea of her being busy was due to most people wanting flowers to use during funerals so obviously people selling them would be pretty busy at this time)

"I am…sad but he would have wanted me to push on." Naruto told her hesitating before telling her his true emotion but still copied Hinata's words to make her worry less.

"Yes, he would have. So, do you want to um, do something?" She asks but before Naruto could answer there was yet another knock at the door.
"Welcome back HInata." Naruto told the new person with a quick fake smile.
"Hello Naru-kun ready to go?"

"Yes but Ino and Haku are here and probably will come with us." Naruto told her truthfully which Hinata didn't seem to really mind. So, she quickly was let into the room where Ino and Haku were all siting and they all simply waited for her to tell them about the plan she had for the day.

"Well Naruto just come follow me to our first stop." Hinata told him then turned to the other girls in the room. "And I won't order you guys but if you want to come you are welcome to do so." She told them and soon they all were following the girl who apparently wasn't so shy at the moment. As they walked both Haku and Ino tried to get Hinata to tell them though Hinata refused to answer and only told them to simply keep following her to see for themselves. Course they still kept asking all the way until they reached a training ground that had Hinata's teammates already on it.

"Hey Kiba, Shino what are you guys doing here?" Ino asks as they walked up to the boys.

"Hinata-san asked us to come here though we don't know why." Shino told them brining all the attention back to said girl.

"Now will you tell us why we are here?" Ino asks Hinata who simply smiled.

"We are here to play a training game that I invented." Hinata told them making everyone even more curious.

(she spent an hour out of Naruto's home, half an hour to clean up and half an hour to prepare this)

"A training game? How could that be any fun for us? I mean we stopped playing those years ago." Kiba tells her. Course to answer this she just smiles at her teammate.

"Yes but the one I invented will still be good for all of us." She told them then pulled a scroll from her pocket that unsealed to become a massive scroll made entirely out of stone. "You see we need to set up two goal points at least a mile apart and the goal is to bring this weighted 'scroll' to your teams goal point. Meanwhile the teams will constantly be fighting against each other using anything but jutsus and lethal force. So, we will train by sparring, making plans, running, and much more." She explains to the group that actually was getting interested again in her plan again.

"Okay then so how will the teams be set up then?" Ino asks deciding that it would actually be a fun way to train.

"Simply boys vs. girls in a three vs. three match."

"…wait so you knew that I was going to come with you!?" Ino asks surprised.

"Well, no but I figured Haku would come making the teams basically fair. And even if that didn't happen we still could have had a two vs. two match. Hinata told her seeing as she did set up the plan to be perfect.

"Wow Hina-hime you really did manage to make a perfect plan in only half an hour. You really are good at creating plans quickly." Naruto told his girlfriend causing her to blush. "Now let's get this game started." Naruto told them finally a bit excited. For while he still was upset he never turned down a chance to train…and Hinata would probably just order him to do it even if he did try to leave anyways seeing as she was now apparently over her shyness.

"Okay, so let us begin." Hinata tells the group that nods and they soon set up for the game and began to play as soon as they could. In the end it was just as they promised a lot of fun whole while still being an exhausting training program that did for several hours until they all had to stop due to hunger. So, they all simply sat around close the training ground seeing as Hinata told them to simply stay seeing as she planned something already for their meal and had left to go make sure they got it along one of Naruto's clones that she told him to not dispel seeing as it would ruin the surprise.

Course they already were waiting for what felt like ages to the teens who by know all heard their stomachs growling out in rage. "Ugh, what is taking Hinata so long, I need food." Kiba complains with Akamaru whining while the dog lied down next to his complaining owner.

"I just made it back Kiba-san." Hinata told them surprising each one of them as she and the clone carried a food kart while Ayame walked behind them.

"Yay food!" the dog loving ninja called out happily while everyone else silently agreed with him and just didn't want to look like an idiot by screaming out their happiness. So, after the food cart was set down a line was formed with each one of them getting a good amount of ramen except for Naruto who was given a few extremely large bowls to eat seeing as they all knew he ate the most. They all then sat on a fairly large blanket and had a ramen picnic with a large pitcher of fruit juice to share around using cups. All in all it was a good break to their game and they even gained a member to the group seeing as Ayame told them that her father told her to stay and collect the bowls. Though what they didn't know was that while he did tell her to do this, he did it with a knowing smile seeing as he gave her the chance to spend more time with Naruto.

"Hello Naruto-kun how are you doing today?" she asked hoping not to upset the boy who now looked happy.

"Well to tell you the truth I am actually enjoying my day thanks to Hina-hime. For while I would probably still be upset and simply sitting in my room depressed but she forced me out…and I have to say thanks to this game I actually am happy even with…that having happened." Naruto admitted seeing as while he still felt bad; he didn't feel nearly as bad now that he spent half a day spending time having fun with his friends and girlfriends.

(ANE: Sooo I have no idea why this happened or what I did…but I didn't actually have a save file of the rest of the chapter. Something that I don't know why it happened by it did….so I copied the story I lost from the FF page. I apologize if it messes with things a bit.)

"Ah, that is good to hear. I wouldn't want you to stay depressed for too long." Ayame told secret crush.

"Yea, surprisingly I am actually not feeling all that sad anymore. Now Ayame now that we have the time will you tell me why you gave me that surprise before the exam?" Naruto asks making the girl blush.

"Well um I kind of just did it just because it felt like the right thing to do at that time and.." she told him blushing even more but hesitating to tell Naruto her feelings just in case he doesn't like her that way or if he couldn't return her feelings due to dating the others or something else. For if he didn't end up returning the feelings it could make their relationship quite awkward and that was the last thing she wanted to happen.

"And?"

"Ugh, what should I do. I mean if I tell him then he might return my feelings and we can become a happy couple. But if he doesn't then I will lose the one person that I feel extremely close to me." Ayame thinks quickly trying to weigh the good vs. the bad and quickly decided. "and…Isortoflikeyou!" she told him quickly. Course after hearing this Naruto could do nothing but try to decipher what she just said far too fast.

"Can you repeat that please?" he asks hoping she would say it slower which only made her even more nervous and embarrassed but still took a deep breath to try and calm her nerves a bit.

"I like you Naruto-kun." She told him blushing as she waited for him to respond.

"Well I am honored that you feel that way and I do like you Ayame but I do already have several girlfriends thanks to CRA are you okay with that?" Naruto asks and watches as several emotions go across Ayame's face as he talked. For when he told her that he liked her she looked overjoyed then looked worried and finally became happy again.

"Yes, I already knew about them and I will be happy to be with you just as long as you promise to love all of us." She told him and he quickly agreed seeing as he already planned to do so which got him a hug and a kiss from his newest girlfriend. Course what they didn't realize was the rest of the girls came over to see them.

"So, Naruto-sama you found another girlfriend." Haku states as she looks at the newest couple.

"Yes, I did. Is that okay?" Naruto asks the three girls slightly worried that they were mad at him.

*sigh* "Naruto-kun we knew it would happen but we would just appreciate it if you talked to us before you tried to get another." Ino told him seeing as she did already accept that he would be getting several girlfriends, she just didn't want him to go girl crazy and try to get girls every girl in sight simply because he could.

"Okay than. I promise to all of you that I will not get another girl without all of you girls allowing me. Though I don't really plan on dating anyone else anyways right now." Naruto told them seeing as the only girl he actually fully planed on dating was Hinata, the rest of the girls just happened to enter his life. Still he wasn't complaining about meeting anyone of them. So, they all simply enjoyed a moment together.

"…they forgot about us didn't they." Kiba asks as he looks over at Naruto surrounded by the girls.

"Yes, but just let them. After all, Hinata did this just to make him happy after all." Shino told his teammate then continued to eat.

"He really is a lucky bastard isn't he to have not only a lot of girls but also girls that truly care deeply about him." Kiba adds jealous of the blond.

"Yes, he truly is." Shino told his friend though like normal didn't show any of his emotions. Course thankfully for the two of them the group eventually remembered what they were actually supposed to be doing and quickly finished the rest of their food and got right back into their training game while Ayame simply sat watching what she could while simply enjoying the warm day as she waited for them to finish seeing as she didn't want to walk back to the village after eating.

~in a tree close to Ayame~

Kurenai was actually surprised to find out that Hinata was not only willing to go this far to take Naruto's mind off of Sarutobi's death but also by the fact that she seemed to be such a confident version of herself at the moment.

"I guess when it is truly important Hinata can put aside her normal ways and do what she needs to. I guess Naruto is good for her to be around after all…for the most part." Kurenai thinks to herself as she watches her team train. For while she now knew that both Hinata and Naruto cared deeply about each other she couldn't help but want to hurt the boy when she thought of him eventually trying to deflower her sister. For she would love it if Hinata instead became an ice princess just so that no man would ever take advantage of her. Though she had to admit Naruto was beginning to change her opinion about males. But for right now she simply spent her time enjoying watching her team actually enjoy a training program that she was tempted to copy herself if she could get another team to join in.

+close to dinner time+

After a while each of the teenagers were basically exhausted thanks to the training program. SO, they decided to stop their game with the guys winning by two points. So, they all walked back to the village with Naruto and Kiba carrying the cart for Ayame seeing as it would be impossible to push on the forest floor. Finally, after they all made it back to the village, they went their separate ways with Naruto making sure to have a clone walk each of his girls home before walking making it back to his own home himself with Haku.

"Man, that was actually a fun way to spend the day." Naruto told Haku happily giving her a true smile. "Wait how can I possibly be feeling this happy the day after jiji was buried? I guess I truly do owe Hinata-chan a lot along with the rest of my new family. But I haven't really done anything special for them; I really need to find something to give them to make sure they know that they are appreciated. But what could possibly work?" Naruto thinks to himself at a loss of what to do for each one of them. Course he couldn't think about it for too long seeing as Haku started cooking dinner and he decided that he needed to help her make it.

_Hinata_

After the clone and her made it home she happily went to her room and waited for dinner time to be called while she thought about the day. "I am so happy that I was able to make Naruto-kun happy again. I mean it was the least I could do to pay him back for just being my protector and role model." She though happily remembering her boyfriend's happy face. Which to her was worth doing anything to keep on his face; a real smile though not a fake one though to her made him the most handsome person alive.

_Ino_

After she made it home, she quickly went into the living room where Inochi was already sitting simply enjoying a book until he saw her come in.

"Hello Ino how was your day out?" he asks his daughter who smiles at her father.

"Oh, it was great. I mean after going to visit Naruto-kun who was at his home with Haku, Hinata showed up and brought all of us to training ground where we met her team and played a tree vs. three training game that was actually kind of fun." She told him never losing her smile.

"I see it is good to hear that you had fun and trained while you did it." He told his daughter happy that she was actually enjoying herself while actually training. "Surprisingly enough I have to admit that her entering in Naruto's harem was probably one of the best ideas Ino has had. I mean instead of staying weak while going after the brat Sasuke she is going after someone who actually has a good goal and cares for people. Plus, he is apparently is helping her become stronger." Inochi thought still unsure what his exact feelings about his daughter's relationship status.

"Man deciding to go out with Naruto was the best idea I had. Why did I ever go for Sasuke when Naruto was latterly the perfect guy. I mean if I actually paid attention to him, I could have been the first one to get his full attention even before his bloodline appeared." Ino thinks but quickly brings her thoughts back to happier things.

_Ayame_

As soon as she got back to the shop, she began to clean the bowls that they used when her father finally walked up to her.

"So, how was your time with friends?" Teuchi asks with a smile on his face.

"It was great. We talked quite a bit and I got to watch them train a bit while enjoying the day. All in all, it was a perfect day." She told him happily.

"Oh, and here I thought you would have a different reason for being happy right now." He asks giving her a knowing smile.

"W-what do you mean?" Ayame asks blushing.

"I know you like him so if you are happy then something must have happened. I won't ask what but just know as long as you are happy I am." He told her which got him a hug from the girl who then went back to work with her smile even bigger. "and I know Naruto will treat you right. Besides he couldn't live without his ramen." He adds in knowing exactly how to control Naruto if he ever needed too, even if he didn't think he would ever actually do it.

_Haku_

"Ah, it is nice to have Naruto-sama happy again. The last thing I want is for him to upset. SO, I really have to thank Hinata for the best present I could get; a happy master. Now all I want to do is keep him happy by doing whatever I can…which also means that I have to make sure that none of his precious can die ever again by making sure we are all strong enough to handle any threat." Haku thinks happily as she cooks dinner with Naruto helping her. Which although she won't tell him truly made her happy seeing as she could spend time doing something with him.

~Council Chamber~

"I already told you guys I don't want to be the hokage. I have stuff and information to get." Jiraiya tells the elders annoyed. "and if I was then I would have to think of the village over helping Naruto which probably would end up in making me unable to help him if he ever needs it again." He added mentally.

"But then who will be the Hokage?" one of the elders asks causing Jiraiya to smile.

"I know who the next kage will be but I am going to need my newest apprentice to get her to do it." Jiraiya tells them then leaves to go to get his own dinner figuring he would get the boy ready to go tomorrow at breakfast and leave at noon.

And that is where I am going to end this. Now I already know that someone is going to say he got over his depression far too fast. But before you do just remember he never even was depressed in the actual show so I already did a more realistic one than they did…anyways it doesn't matter much seeing as I won't look at the reviews anyways. Also just so you know I got a challenge from a reader a while ago and I am actually tempted to do it…if I can finish both of my other stories soon before I get too busy again. For I have decided that trying to pump work on two or more stories gets so annoying. Because I just want to keep writing for one and don't work enough on the other.

Hey guys sorry for not posting in ages. I just have been very busy and a bit lazy..also it will be hard for me to post more even now seeing as I am training for my black belt test which is in august which takes up a lot of my time and the rest is used for college prep….Basically I will post what I can but the main focus of my day now is to do 170 push-ups, crunches, and squat thrusts a day six days a week along with a daily three mile run…basically sorry but I am really REALLY busy. Ja Ne.
