Samuel Santillan: I don't know if she is a name or not.
Frozen48: I'll add Tsubaki, but that's about it.
RandomReviewer: I wasn't planning on adding them simply because the harem is big already, and I don't want to make it bigger for now. That's too much work.
Sishen123: Don't worry, it'll be explained later.
MDM11: I'm sorry but almost all of those girls are not going to be added because that is way too much to handle. Maybe in another story that's possible but not in this one.
Bolt1998: After re-read that chapter, yeah, you're right. I'll go back and get rid of some of those "ya knows" but in this chapter I'm pretty sure I toned it down considerably.
Harem currently
Amaru, Ameyuri, Anko, Ayame, Fubuki, Fuu, Fuka, Guren, Fem!Haku, Hana, Hanabi, Hinata, Hotaru, Ino, Isaribi, Karin, Karui, Kaguya, Kirai, Kin, Konan, Kotohime, Koyuki, Fem!Kurama, Kurenai, Kurotsutchi, Kushina, Mabui, Matsuri, Mei, Mikoto, Mito, Moegi, Natsu, Natsuhi, Pakura, Rin, Ryuzetsu, Sakura, Samui, Sara, Sasame, Shizuka, Shizune, Shion, Tayuya, Temari, Tenten, Tsubaki, Tsume, Tsunade, Tsunami, Yakumo/Ido, Yugao, Yugito/Nibi, Yukata, Uroko
This concludes the harem. I'm not taking in anymore requests cause… well, it's self-explanatory. Sorry if I didn't get your suggestion(s) in, but this is it.
Early chapter for you guys! 'Why did I post a new chapter?' you may be thinking, well, I felt like it, that's pretty much it. Enjoy the chapter, dear readers! Also, I didn't mean to make this chapter so long, heh.
Chapter 14: Girls…
It had been two days since Kakashi told his team about the Chuunin Exams. The first day was spent with Hinata, Hanabi, and Haku, although it wasn't that long. Then Sakura came along and spent some time with him and then Yugao visited him after not seeing each other for awhile, which was nice.
Then the second day came and a lot happened. First Naruto met up with Temari, spent a little time talking to each other, then Kin came along and joined them. They trained for some time, Naruto and Temari kissed after training was over, Kin came back, and then the three went out to eat… but after that it got slightly out of hand.
Naruto, Temari, and Kin were all at Ichiraku Ramen, enjoying themselves and eating ramen. They were having an amusing conversation, making each other laugh and feel happy. Naruto explained how the village works to them, and the girls also told each other how their village works, but Kin kept a lot of things a secret, which was fine.
The three of them finished their bowl of ramen. Naruto leaned back with a satisfied sigh while the girls leaned against the counter.
"Today was surprisingly great," Temari spoke first, resting her head on her arms.
"I agree. Thanks Naruto, for teaching me so much," Kin thanked, looking at the relaxing Konoha genin with Temari nodding in agreement.
Naruto grinned. "Ah, it was nothin'. I don't want you two getting severely injured during the Chuunin Exams, ya know?"
Temari and Kin giggled. "What? You don't think we're strong enough to pass?" Temari jokingly asked.
"Of course not! I know you two are strong, but you can never be too sure," Naruto replied, looking between the two kunoichi.
Kin smiled. "Well, great to know you care about us so much. Even though we know each other for like… two days."
"A lot can happen in two days," Naruto replied which made Temari blush. She remembered about their kiss that happened not too long ago.
"I guess so," Kin agreed with a shrug. "But when the Chuunin Exams come around, I hope I get to fight you, Naruto."
"Yeah, we need another rematch!" Temari agreed with a smirk.
Naruto looked at the girls and smiled. "Sure, if you think you can take me on, that is."
"We know we can!" Kin stated. "Just hope Sandy over here doesn't blow away my attacks with her wind."
Temari narrowed her eyes at Kin. "Aw, are you mad 'cause my wind counters your sound? Boo-hoo."
"Oh shut up! You got your ass handed to you in like the first five minutes."
"At least I have an ass," Temari shot back with a smirk.
"Yeah, a flat one."
Temari's eye twitched. "Only girls with flat asses would come after another girl's. They're just jealous."
"Uh huh, don't try and pull that 'jealous' card out. You don't have a front or a back," Kin insulted.
Temari's eyes slightly widened. "You never kissed a boy, have you?"
Kin flinched at the question. "What does that have to do with anything?! You probably haven't either!"
Temari smirked before sitting up and wrapping her arms around Naruto's head. She then hugged him, squishing his head between her breasts. "I have, and his name's Naruto, ya know."
Kin fully sat up in shock. She looked at Naruto for confirmation and the blonde looked away before looking back and slightly nodding.
Kin grit her teeth before smirking. "But, are you two dating?"
Temari lost her smirk as she looked away before looking back. "N-No…"
Kin's smirk grew. "Well then, that means that I can have him for myself."
Temari glared at the noirette. "That's not how it works!"
"Oh, it is, and I'll show you," Kin stated before grabbing Naruto's head and pulling it towards her. She instantly locked lips with the blonde and his eyes widened. Their lips were connected for a few seconds before Kin pulled away. "There, now I kissed him too, now what?"
"You bitch!"
After that fiasco, Naruto found a way to calm the two down. When they left to eat, neither of them wanted to leave Naruto alone with the other girl until it got really late and they both decided to leave at the same time. The whiskered blonde sighed in his bed. Haku was right next to him, soundly asleep. He looked at the Ice Release user and smiled. She looked so cute and peaceful when she was sleeping.
"You know what I realized?" Kirai spoke, grabbing Naruto's attention.
'What?' He asked.
"The girls you interact with started adapting your verbal tic. Hinata was the first, then Hanabi and Haku, then Sakura, then Temari, and then Kin," Kirai answered.
Naruto thought back and he realized that she was right. When him, Hinata, Hanabi, Haku were at Ichiraku Ramen, Hinata was the first one to say 'ya know', then the other girls started using it. When Sakura arrived, she used it too. And Temari and Kin also used it when he was talking to them.
'But wait, I've never heard Yugao and Tsunami use it,' Naruto pointed out.
"Ya never know, they could be using it right now and not even realize it," Kirai said, making Naruto hum in thought. He shrugged before slowly and quietly moving out of the bed to not disturb Haku. He quickly got changed and left a note by the Ice Release user's head that he'd gone out.
The blonde began walking around Konoha with his hands in his pockets. He could feel the glares and mutterings of the civilians he passed, but paid no mind to it.
"Hey, Boss!" A young and raspy voice greeted behind the blonde. He turned around and saw Konohamaru, Udon, and Moegi.
The blonde smiled as he saw the Konohamaru Ninja Squad. "Hey there, KNS, what's up?"
"Time for you to play ninja with us!" Konohamaru responded, pointing a finger at the blonde. The other two voiced their agreement with Konohamaru.
'Ah shit… of course they'd want me to play ninja…' Naruto thought. 'Well… I don't really have anything to do today other than train Sakura… but I could just send a clone her way, she wouldn't notice.'
"Alright, we can play ninja," Naruto complied. "But hold on a second."
Naruto made the clone seal and a clone appeared next to him. The two Narutos looked at each other and the clone flickered away in a yellow flash. Naruto looked back at the Konohamaru Ninja Squad to see them all shocked and surprised.
Naruto raised an eyebrow and tilted his head. "What?"
"W-That clone just disappeared in such a cool way!" Udon responded.
"You have to teach us how to do that!" Konohamaru told with his fists clenched.
"Woah there, little guys, I can't be teaching you any techniques yet. You need to prove yourselves when we play ninja, ya know," Naruto said as he rubbed Konohamaru's hair.
"And how do we do that?" Moegi asked, tilting her head.
Naruto grinned at the little girl. "You have to impress me."
"Impress you? That shouldn't be hard at all! We're the Konohamaru Ninja Squad after all! Right, guys?" Konohamaru asked his two friends.
"Yeah!" They both shouted in agreement.
"You may have the spirit, but let's see if you have the skills," Naruto said. "Everyone, grab onto me."
Konohamaru and Udon grabbed his pants while Naruto held Moegi's hand, making the girl unnoticeable blush. Naruto half of the Tiger hand seal and they all flickered in a yellow flash.
The group made it to the third training ground and everyone let go. Naruto stood in front of the KNS with his hands on his hips.
"Alright, kiddos, I'll give you two minutes to get yourselves ready, after that, come at me with all you've got," Naruto said with a grin.
"You sure you can handle all of us, Boss? We're not to be messed with, you know," Konohamaru checked with a cocky smirk.
Naruto crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow. "If you're not to be messed with, then prove it to me."
The three kids nodded and ran away. They all hid out of sight and watched Naruto from different hiding positions.
The whiskered blonde closed his eyes, he could clearly sense them all. 'These kids aren't that bad.' He thought with a smile. 'What would Kakashi-sensei do again…? Oh right, read a book.' Naruto tapped his left shoulder and a faint, blue glowed underneath it. He pulled out a scroll and unrolled it. He slammed his hand down and a book appeared. 'I could learn something while going against these guys.'
Konohamaru's eyes widened as he saw Naruto take out a book and began reading it while sitting on the middle post. 'He's not even taking us seriously!'
Naruto flipped a page and continued reading. He was learning more about other villages and the continent he was living on, when a pair of boobs obscured the words. The blonde sighed, not even bothering to look up.
"Konohamaru… I came up with the Sexy Technique… you can't use it against me," Naruto said as he popped the clone with a simple punch.
'Darn it!' Konohamaru grit his teeth. 'I shoulda known that wouldn't work!'
"Hi there." Konohamaru whipped his head to look who was next to him and saw a girl with black hair in two pigtails and light blue eyes. She had red lipstick on and two whiskers on her cheeks, and wasn't wearing anything but a smoke cloud was around her lower body and upper chest. The whiskers should've been a dead giveaway for the young boy… but it wasn't.
Konohamaru stared at the girl in shock before getting a nosebleed and falling backwards.
The girl deadpanned at Konohamaru's unconscious form. 'For someone who can use the Sexy Technique… he sure doesn't have a resistance to it…' the girl thought before popping into a smoke cloud.
Udon watched as Konohamaru was knocked unconscious and jumped down the branch he was on to assist his leader. The bespectacled boy had a bit of trouble picking him up, but eventually did. He jumped away and brought him over to where Moegi was hiding.
When he arrived, Moegi slowly walked over to the two boys.
"What happened to Konohamaru?" She wondered as he looked at his bleeding nose.
"Konohamaru tried using the Sexy Technique on Boss, but it didn't work and Boss used it back on him and he fainted!" Udon whispered to Moegi. The girl deadpanned at her leader.
"Of course he would…" Moegi muttered before sighing. "Try and find a way to wake up Konohamaru, I'll stall Boss."
"Oh, wait!" Moegi looked back at Udon as he gave her a kunai. "You'll be needing this."
"W-Where'd you even find a kunai…?"
"It was lying around here," the bespectacled boy responded. Moegi just nodded and ran out of the bush she was hiding behind.
She saw Naruto on his hand, reading the book upside down. "Hello, Moegi. Are you that confident in yourself you're challenging me alone?"
"No, I couldn't take you on myself, Boss," Moegi admitted as she prepared the kunai Udon gave her. "I'm just stalling you for time."
Naruto smiled as he flipped a page. 'I could easily pass her myself, or even send a clone, but that's way too cruel. I haven't seen what these kids can do yet.'
"Alright then, show me what you can do," Naruto said as he pushed off the post and did a flip before landing. Moegi instantly ran forward and tried swinging, but Naruto easily stepped back. She began pursuing him in hopes of at least landing a cut, but the blonde in front of her was easily dodging all of her swipes. She went for a jab, but Naruto parried it with the spine of his book. Moegi was shocked, and it caused her to get hit on the head with said book.
She yelped as she rubbed her head and glared up at Naruto.
"No matter what surprises you, Moegi, don't get caught off guard. It could cost you, ya know," Naruto told with a gentle smile. The girl's eyes widened and she nodded. She shook her head before getting in a basic offensive position. Naruto smirked as he continued reading his book.
Moegi quickly put her kunai away and began making the Ram → Tiger hand seals.
'Wait, she can already use techniques?!' Naruto asked himself as he looked up from his book in surprise.
'Water Release: Starch Syrup Capturing Field!' Moegi spat out a very small stream of starch syrup at Naruto. The whiskered blonde jumped away, not wanting to get caught by that.
"Since when could you use water techniques?!" Naruto asked, a little bewildered.
Moegi stopped the stream as she looked at Naruto with a sheepish smile. "W-Well… I saw you and that pink haired girl use that technique… so I wanted to use it too… I asked Ebisu-sensei but he said it was too advanced for me, so then I asked Kakashi-sensei and he agreed to teach me… I'm still not good with it though."
Naruto smiled. He would've patted her head hadn't it been they were sparring. "That's amazing, Moegi! Using techniques already at your age! Can you do any more?"
Moegi blushed at the praise and she fidgeted. "U-Uh… n-no… using that one technique used up most of my chakra."
"Well, you're already farther than your other classmates since you're able to use a technique! That's good enough!"
"T-T-"
"Moegi! Duck!" A voice that sounded like Konohamaru's shouted. The orange haired girl did just that and a smoke bomb was flying towards Naruto. The blonde could've easily dodged, but he decided to block it with the book. The smoke bomb exploded and he held his breath.
Konohamaru and Udon ran up to Moegi before pulling her away from the area. Udon threw more smoke bombs at Naruto to make sure he couldn't see.
Naruto would've activated his Byakugan, but that wouldn't be as much fun. Naruto swatted the smoke away and saw that the Konohamaru Ninja Squad evacuated the area. Naruto easily sensed them hiding in a tree, but he continued reading his book.
Konohamaru grit his teeth. "How do we get Boss to stop reading his book? He's not even taking us seriously!"
"Konohamaru… I don't think we'd stand a chance if he stopped reading his book," Udon said.
"When I was stalling him, he dodged my kunai attacks perfectly, and even blocked one with the book," Moegi added.
Konohamaru looked between his friends before looking back at Naruto. "We need to work together to defeat him."
Naruto was on his head as he read his book, waiting for the Konohamaru Ninja Squad to strike again. 'Hopefully they understand teamwork.'
Just then, smoke bombs went off around Naruto.
He didn't bother putting his book down, already knowing what they were doing.
Three kids walked out of the smoke and stared at Naruto determinedly. The blonde smirked behind his book and uprighted himself on his feet.
"You kids done playing?" Naruto teasingly asked, flipping a page in his book.
"Of course not! We're just getting started!" Konohamaru denied. "Konohamaru Ninja Squad, let's go!"
They all rushed Naruto at the same time. Konohamaru ran ahead of the other two and started with a jump kick. Naruto backed up and blocked it with his book. Moegi ran into his peripherals on his left. He pushed Konohamaru back and spun out of the way of a kunai strike before pushing Moegi forward. Udon ran up to her and twirled with her before throwing the young girl at Naruto. She let out a war cry as she flew at Naruto with her kunai prepared to swipe.
Moegi went for a horizontal strike, but Naruto ducked. The girl's eyes widened in shock before she was thrown higher up into the air. The girl let out a scream as she came down. Naruto caught her with one arm and held her close against his chest while simultaneously disarming Moegi and embedding the kunai into the ground.
The girl didn't process what happened until she couldn't move. She looked up to see Naruto with a smirk on his face. He looked down and brightly smiled at her. Moegi looked down and saw his arm was around her stomach, holding her from leaving. She was ultimately confused and started rapidly blushing at being so close to her crush-'wait… crush?'
Konohamaru and Udon looked at Naruto in shock.
"M-Moegi!" Both Konohamaru and Udon shouted.
"Let's see if you can rescue your teammate from an enemy ninja," Naruto said, flipping a page in his book.
The two kids looked at each other before nodding and rushing Naruto at the same time. Konohamaru jumped on Udon's shoulder and jumped again. He came down and did a front flip, turning it into an axe kick that Naruto blocked with his bandaged arm.
The whiskered blonde titled his head to read his book sideways, but caught Udon getting closer. In a swift motion, Naruto pushed Konohamaru back slightly with his arm, and did a high kick.
The blonde hooked Konohamaru's waist with his foot and spun around before throwing him at Udon. The bespectacled boy didn't see that move coming and couldn't dodge in time, taking the brute force of Konohamaru's body.
Moegi looked at the two boys in shock, she was impressed by Naruto's flexibility and movements while also reading a book.
"You boys done yet?" Naruto asked with a smirk. "Moegi's still captured, ya know."
The boys slowly got up and shook their heads.
"We're not done yet, Boss!" The Sandaime's grandchild responded.
"Yeah, we're just getting started!" Udon agreed. The two of them got into a basic offensive stance, but then Konohamaru made the clone seal.
"Shadow Clone Technique!" Two clones appeared next to Konohamaru, ready to attack.
Naruto threw Moegi high in the air before she fell on his shoulders. Moegi was confused by the action and looked down at Naruto.
"You wanna read this with me?" Naruto asked the blushing girl.
"Y-Yes…" Moegi responded with a head node.
"Great! Then hold on tight," Naruto advised. Moegi grabbed his hair and he flipped the page to a country next to Hi no Kuni.
"Charge!" Konohamaru commanded, and his two clones charged forward with him and Udon following.
"You see this village made of stone? That's Iwagakure, apparently they're a pretty nasty village in terms of disliking us, same with Kumogakure," Naruto explained as he pointed at the picture of Iwa. Moegi leaned over his head and hummed in interest. The two Konohamaru Shadow Clones tried attacking him in unison, but Naruto was dodging all of their attacks.
A random kunai was thrown towards Naruto, but the blonde caught it in between his fingers and threw it at one of the Shadow Clones. It was too fast for the clone to dodge, so he got struck and dispelled.
"Most people in Iwagakure have an affinity for earth," Naruto added, then turned a few pages back. "But the people in Kirigakure mostly have an affinity for water, like you seem to have, Moegi."
"Oh, that's interesting!" She exclaimed in excitement.
"Right? Although… the village itself isn't anywhere you'd wanna go to, believe it," Naruto said with a small smile.
"Why not?"
"Bad people, that's all I'm saying," Naruto answered, then flipped a couple pages forward.
"Moegi you're supposed to be helping us! Not reading with him!" Konohamaru told his friend.
"Konohamaru, you dunce, I'm captured! There's not much I can do!" Moegi shouted back.
"She's right, you know. What can she do against Naruto?" Udon agreed with Moegi. Konohamaru grit his teeth.
"I dunno, distract him maybe?"
"He's already reading a book, do we really need any more handicaps?"
"Whatever, just attack him!"
The two Konohamarus and Udon started attacking Naruto at the same time. But it was no use since Naruto was dodging all three of them.
"You see this, Moegi, Kusagakure? It lies in between us and Iwagakure. We're kinda lucky to have the hidden village there, since it could take longer for Iwa shinobi to attack us if the occasion ever arrives," Naruto explained to the young girl on his shoulders. "They'd have to go through Kusa first, and if the village aren't pushovers, they'll fight back. Whether Kusa loses or wins, it'll give us enough time to prepare."
The Sarutobi picked up the kunai and tried swinging at Naruto, but the whiskered blonde deflected his arm away and jumped back.
"Hold the book, I'm gonna end this right now," Naruto said as he gave Moegi the book. She accepted it and continued reading about Kusagakure.
Udon and Konohamaru's Shadow Clone both tried circling around Naruto, but then two orange tails sprouted out of his back and grabbed the two kids. Naruto slammed them together, causing the clone to dispel while placing the unconscious Udon down. Naruto looked at Konohamaru with a smirk while the young boy stared in shock.
"I think it's time we end this. I do have to say, you guys did good for the most part, but there was no way you were winning against me," Naruto praised.
Konohamaru grit his teeth. "Boss, what makes you say that?! I'm still up and ready to fight!"
Naruto's smirk grew more as something tapped Konohamaru's shoulder. The Sarutobi turned around and instantly got a nosebleed at seeing a naked woman, only protected by smoke rings, behind him. Konohamaru fell backwards, and was rendered unconscious once again.
Naruto set Moegi down and gathered Udon and Konohamaru together. Him and Moegi were reading more about the countries while waiting for the two boys to wake up.
Udon and Konohamaru eventually woke up and saw Moegi in Naruto's lap, still reading the same book.
"Oh, Konohamaru and Udon! You're finally awake!" Moegi noticed with a smile. Naruto looked up at the two awakening boys and smirked.
"About time," Naruto added. Konohamaru angrily pouted while Udon cleaned his glasses. "Alright, kids, I'm going to show you how to use the Body Flicker Technique."
"Huh?!" The Konohamaru Ninja Squad asked in unison as they looked up at their boss who was smirking at them.
"You heard me." Naruto picked up Moegi and sat her next to the young Sarutobi before standing in front of the three kids. "Now, I probably shouldn't be teaching you this, but since Moegi already knows a useful technique and Konohamaru knows how to use Shadow Clones, why not teach you kids this one."
Naruto made the Tiger hand seal. "Alright, the first thing you'll want to do is make the Tiger hand seal." He looked at the three kids and waited for them to do it too. Moegi was the first one to get it and did it, followed by her two friends. "Great, now, to do the Body Flicker Technique, you have to use your chakra to strengthen and energize your body. The amount of chakra required depends on the distance you're trying to go."
In a yellow flash, Naruto appeared a couple feet away from the Konohamaru Ninja Squad. They all gawked in amazement at seeing it.
"Ooo, ooo! I wanna do that!" Konohamaru exclaimed as he shut his eyes and tried concentrating on moving forward, but nothing was happening.
Naruto flickered back in front of them with a smile. "Konohamaru… you have to energize your body with your chakra. If you already know how to use your chakra, like using a technique, then this should be easier for you."
"W-How do I use my chakra to energize my body?!" Konohamaru wondered with a slight pout.
Naruto chuckled. "You have to concentrate on making it more lively, ya know? This is different from the Shadow Clone Technique since you have to be more precise with how much chakra you put into it, you can't just pour however much you want in it."
Konohamaru hummed before nodding rapidly. "Alright, I think I understand what you're saying, Boss!"
"Good, now try and do it," Naruto said as he rubbed his head. Konohamaru smiled before closing his eyes and making the Tiger hand seal. The young Sarutobi disappeared in a puff of smoke, making Udon and Moegi's eyes widen.
"Look, Boss! I did it!" Naruto and the others turned around to see Konohamaru a few feet away from them, jumping up and down with joy.
Naruto smiled at the kid. "Awesome job, Konohamaru!"
"Great job, Konohamaru!"
"That was amazing, Konohamaru!"
The brunet grinned as he rubbed underneath his nose and placed a hand on his hip.
"Now come back using the same technique!" Naruto called out to him. Konohamaru nodded and made the Tiger hand seal. He disappeared in a puff of smoke and rammed into Udon.
"OW!" Both boys yelped in pain. Naruto and Moegi looked at the two boys on top of each other and sighed.
Hanabi Hyuuga was in her clan compound. She was wearing a small, orange kimono as she sat on a rock in the garden. She had a wide smile on her face as she meditated.
'This is nice,' she thought to herself before taking a deep breath.
"HANABI HYUUGA!" A voice screeched throughout the compound that belonged to Hinata Hyuuga, her older sister.
Hanabi opened her eyes halfway and smirked. 'And this is better.'
She heard her sister stomp out of the large house that sat behind her and turned around. The older Hyuuga had a blanket sheet wrapped around her body and her Byakugan was activated as she was fuming.
Hanabi smiled deviously as she looked at Hinata. "Hello sister, what do you need?"
Hinata lowly growled. "What the hell did you do to my clothes…?"
Hanabi tilted her head and put a finger to her bottom lip. "Whatever do you mean?"
Hinata looked like she was going to strangle Hanabi at any moment. "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!"
Hinata showed Hanabi one of her sweatshirts and it was ripped to shreds. "AND THIS?!" Hinata pulled up one of her shirts with 'SLUT' written on it in paint.
Hanabi put her hand over her mouth and faked a gasp. "Oh my-sister! Whoever did that needs to be punished immediately!"
Hinata scowled as she bit her tongue, not wanting to scream again. "Yeah… you're right…"
Just then, an older girl with dark green hair appeared from the house with a worried look on her face. She had lavender eyes like Hanabi and Hinata and was wearing a dark grey kimono with a white apron over it.
"L-Lady Hinata! Please don't fight Lady Hanabi here!" The girl pleaded.
"Quiet, Natsu! Hanabi needs to learn her lesson," Hinata demanded, remaining her glare on her younger sister.
Hanabi tilted her head to the other side and smiled. "Sorry, sis, but those clothes needed to go. You looked awful in them."
"Let me rip your skin off of you, it looks horrible on you, Hanabi," Hinata told with a sweet smile.
Hanabi frowned. 'That doesn't sound good.'
Hinata opened her eyes and instantly dashed towards Hanabi.
'Oh shit…'
Hanabi quickly jumped off the rock right before Hinata missed. The younger Hyuuga landed a few feet away before running.
"Catch me if ya can, slow ass!" Hanabi taunted as she waved at Hinata. The blanketed girl scowled further before she started running after Hanabi.
"W-Wait! Damnit, Lady Hinata!" Natsu cursed as she ran after them. Thankfully, Lord Hiashi wasn't at the clan compound at the moment, and it was mostly vacant from the other Hyuugas, or else the two Hyuuga heiresses would be scolded.
Hanabi ran through the compound and hopped on the side of a building before running up it. She jumped up and grabbed the ledge, then climbed over it. She couldn't stay attached to things for very long with her feet, or else she'll lose her chakra control and fall off.
Hanabi took a deep breath and smirked. "Safe for now…"
"Try again," a chilling voice said behind the young Hyuuga. She whipped her head around to see Hinata behind her. She yelped as she stood up and activated her Byakugan.
"You can't beat me, remember what Naruto said?" Hinata reminded. Hanabi cursed as she remembered the whiskered blonde telling her Hinata was stronger, then her older sister proved that by beating her.
But then she got an idea at that moment. She smirked mischievously, which earned her a raised brow from Hinata.
"See ya!" Hanabi shouted and hopped off the roof. Hinata was surprised by the sudden move, but quickly shook it off and jumped after her.
"GET BACK HERE!"
Thankfully, Natsu wasn't far behind thanks to Hinata's yelling and Hanabi's rudeful taunts. She sighed, knowing that she was going to have to put up with this more.
It had been a couple hours since Naruto taught the Konohamaru Ninja Squad how to use the Body Flicker Technique. Konohamaru needed to learn how to properly gauge the amount of chakra needed to go the distance he wanted to… and to stop crashing into people. Udon got it down well, he just needed to apply more chakra to it to go farther distances, and Moegi was the best one out of the three. She got the basis of it down and could do it really well.
Currently, Naruto and Moegi were walking around the village with the girl on his shoulders. The little girl wanted to spend a bit more time with her blonde boss before going with Konohamaru and Udon.
Naruto started humming a sweet tune as he had a pep in his step. Moegi enjoyed the small bounces on Naruto's shoulders and began waving her head along with it.
Naruto's eyes widened as he suddenly leaned forward, making Moegi yelp in surprise and roll off of Naruto's shoulders. Naruto caught the orange haired girl in his arms as he looked to the side with a glare. A kunai almost struck Moegi hadn't it been for Naruto detecting the attack. Whoever was hiding in between the buildings were already gone.
'What scumbags… trying to kill a child, are you for real?' Naruto glared at the small and empty space for a few more seconds before walking away with a curious Moegi in his arms.
"Uh… Boss…? What was that about?" Moegi asked.
"Don't worry about it, must've been a raccoon or something," Naruto responded with a smile.
"Oh, alright then." Naruto threw Moegi up in the air and the girl landed on his shoulders. The two continued to stroll through Konoha, not exactly knowing where to go.
"Hey, Moegi, you hungry?" Naruto asked, looking up at the little girl.
"Mm… yeah, I can go for something to eat," Moegi responded with a nod.
"Sweet, where do you wanna go?" Naruto wondered.
"Ichiraku Ramen, is that fine with you?" Moegi replied with a sheepish smile.
Naruto grinned. "Of course! To Ichiraku we go!"
"Yay!"
The two didn't have to walk far to make it to Ichiraku, but before they could, someone landed in front of them.
"Hanabi?" Naruto recognized the person with a raised eyebrow.
"Hi Naruto! No time to explain!" Hanabi quickly greeted as she hid behind Naruto.
Someone else landed where Hanabi previously was… but was only wearing a bedsheet wrapped around her body.
"W-Hinata…? W-What are you doing here? And… why are you only wearing that?" Naruto asked.
"Huh?" Hinata said as she looked at the blonde and the kid on his shoulders. She blushed hard as she realized she was only wearing a blanket sheet, and out in the open too. "O-Oh… h-hi N-Naruto… I-I didn't see you there…"
"Uh… you know what? Here." Naruto took off his coat and handed it to Hinata. The older Hyuuga thanked the blonde before putting it on while Hanabi snickered behind him. Luckily the coat could cover her whole body. Moegi just watched on in wonder and interest. "You wanna tell me what's going on?" Naruto asked.
"Y-"
"Lady Hinata!" Another voice shouted before landing behind Hinata. The bluenette whipped around and saw her maid, Natsu.
"O-Oh! Hello Miss Natsu," Hinata greeted with a smile. Naruto just raised an eyebrow again.
"Ugh… you're lucky that Lord Hiashi isn't home, or else you'd be in so much trouble!" Natsu scolded the older Hyuuga daughter. Hanabi smirked devilishly at watching her older sister getting scolded. "And you!"
Natsu pointed at Hanabi which made her eyes widen.
"You shouldn't be ripping apart your sisters clothes and writing on them! That is disgraceful!"
Natsu rebuked, pointing at the youngest Hyuuga daughter.
Hanabi frowned. "It's not my fault Hinata has a poor choice of clothing!"
"And instead of talking to her you decide to tear her clothes apart?!"
"You think she was gonna listen to me?! I'd have to win a sparring match for her to consider my opinions or suggestions!"
"That is not true!" Hinata denied with a scowl.
"It so is! Remember when we were deciding on what to eat for lunch and I suggested we have kakuni bossam, but your bitchy and stubborn ass wanted spanner crab rice with edamame and tobiko and wouldn't have anything else unless I beat you in a spar!"
"You were being a bitch throughout that whole day, of course I wasn't gonna listen to you!"
While the girls continued arguing back and forth, Naruto looked around to see some onlookers watching the Hyuuga heiresses argue. Natsu sighed angrily as the two were arguing quite loudly and this would attract more attention soon.
"Uh… what is going on?" A familiar voice asked beside Naruto.
The whiskered blonde turned and saw Haku next to him. She was wearing a pink shirt and grey shorts.
"Oh! Hey, Haku, nice to see you here!" Naruto greeted with a grin before looking back at the still arguing sisters. "Uh… Hinata and Hanabi seem to be arguing over something petty."
Haku sighed as she rubbed her face. "Of course they are…" She then looked up and saw the little girl on his shoulders. She looked back at Haku and smiled.
"Hi! I'm Moegi!" The orange haired girl greeted.
"Nice to meet you, Moegi, I'm Haku," the Ice Release user greeted back with a slight head nod.
"How's the Academy going?" Naruto asked.
"It's going well, albeit a bit boring. The only new thing I'm learning is about your village and the previous Kages," Haku replied with a shrug.
"I-I deeply apologize," Natsu voiced as she bowed towards Naruto, Moegi, and Haku.
Naruto smiled. "Ah, it's no big deal… at least we're not involved."
"Haku, Naruto!" Hanabi called their names, making Naruto mentally curse. "Who do you think would look better in a dress? Me, or this witch across from me?"
Hinata scowled at the question, but Haku and Naruto were confused by it.
'H-How the hell did it get to that…?' Naruto asked himself. He looked away, trying to decide what would not piss them both off. "You'd both look good in a dress…?" Hanabi narrowed her eyes, and so did Hinata.
"Expected of you," Hanabi said with a sigh. "You're lucky I like you. Haku, what about you?"
"W-Wait, huh?!"
"Oh! Uh… I… don't really know. I haven't really seen you girls wear anything else," Haku responded with a shrug.
Hanabi crossed her arms as she furrowed her brow.
"Can I keep this coat, Naruto?" Hinata asked while her sister was thinking. Said sister then whipped her head back at Hinata.
"Huh?!" Hanabi asked as she saw Hinata hold the coat closed tightly.
"Uh… sure… but for what reason?" Naruto answered with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh, no reason at all," Hinata replied with a sweet smile. Hanabi grit her teeth, she didn't want her sister having something that belonged to Naruto. The older Hyuuga heiress looked at Hanabi smugly, which made her sister lowly growl.
"Naruto… what's going on?" Moegi wondered as he tapped the blonde's head.
"Girls, Moegi… that's what's going on," Naruto responded, watching the two sisters, expecting a fight to break out. "Hopefully you're not like this with anyone in the future."
"Girls!" Natsu shouted, causing the two to look up at their maid who was glaring at them. "You're making a scene."
Hinata and Hanabi looked behind Natsu to see that a bunch of civilians and shinobi stopped just to watch the two Hyuugas argue.
"Uh… I think we should go, ya know?" Haku suggested, not wanting to be in the middle of the people's stares.
"Let's go to Ichiraku since we're right next to it," Naruto suggested as he pointed at the small stand. Everyone looked at it before nodding in agreement.
The group of six sat down at the stands and were greeted by Teuchi.
"Heya Naruto! How's it goin? Wow, this is a lot of people!" Teuchi greeted as he looked at Naruto's companions.
"Y-Yeah… things happened and we met up, ya know?" Naruto answered.
"Yeah, I understand kiddo," Teuchi said with a nod. 'They're all girls too… huh, that's interesting.'
"Oh! Hey Naruto!" A voice greeted.
Naruto perked up as he saw Ayame run up to the counter. "Heya Ayame! How are you?"
"Oh I'm fine! Seems like you got a lot of company today," Ayame noticed as she observed the other girls.
"Yeah… a lot happened."
"Naruto, I'm hungry. Is there a menu?" Moegi asked from his lap.
The whiskered blonde looked down and smiled. "Right, we should probably order."
"Here you go, little girl," Ayame said as she gave the orange haired kid a menu.
"Thank you, Miss!" Moegi happily thanked before looking at the menu.
"Naruto! You want the usual?!" Teuchi asked.
"Yeah! Thanks old man!" Naruto responded. Teuchi nodded before starting to make his ramen.
"What would the rest of you girls like?" Ayame asked.
"Whatever Naruto's having," Hanabi responded. Everyone else took a moment before nodding.
"Alright, so six bowls of miso ramen coming right up!" Ayame said with a large smile.
After the groups' lunch, they began walking around the village. Naruto turned around and looked at the Hyuuga maid.
"Hey, Miss Natsu, right?" Naruto asked. The older Hyuuga looked up and nodded.
"That's me."
"You can go back, I'll make sure Hinata and Hanabi don't fight each other," Naruto told.
"Oh! Are you sure? They can become quite a handful…" Natsu checked.
"Yeah, believe me, I got it."
The maid nodded. "Thank you, Naruto. Have fun." Natsu made the Tiger hand seal and flickered away in a puff of smoke. Naruto turned around and saw the other girls waiting for him.
"Well girls… whaddya wanna do first?" The whiskered blonde asked his companions.
"I'd like to buy new clothes since someone destroyed them," Hinata responded as she sent a glare towards Hanabi who stuck her tongue out.
"I'd like to train. It's been some time since I've used my techniques," Haku answered.
"Meh, I don't really care," Hanabi replied with a shrug.
'Great…' Naruto thought with a small sigh, then he turned to look at Moegi. "What about you, Moegi?"
"Whatever you wanna do, Boss," the little girl replied. Naruto patted her head, making her blush.
"Alright then," Naruto said as made the clone seal and two clones appeared next to him, both of them leaning on the orignal's shoulders. One of the Narutos picked up Moegi and sat her on his shoulders. "Hold on tight!"
The Naruto with Moegi ran up to Hanabi and swiftly picked her up bridal style. The young Hyuuga heiress blushed and yelped in surprise while Naruto made the Tiger hand seal. The three disappeared in a yellow flash, leaving Haku and Hinata with the other two clones.
One walked up to Haku before grabbing her and flickering away.
Hinata looked at Naruto and smiled. "How sweet of you to do that."
"It would be pretty boring if we took turns doing what everyone wanted. That wouldn't have been as fun, ya know? Plus, I have the chakra for it, so why not?" Naruto explained himself with a shrug. Hinata's smile grew a little before grabbing his hand.
"Let's go."
When Naruto was alone with Hinata, something in the back of his mind was nagging him to not go with the older Hyuuga, but he ignored it. That was a mistake.
The whiskered blonde was carrying fifteen bags worth of clothes with Hinata humming as she walked ahead of Naruto, looking for another clothes store.
"Hinata… do you really need to find another store…? Don't you have enough clothes?" Naruto asked, his arms getting tired.
The Hyuuga turned around and tilted her head with a smile. "No, Hanabi destroyed all of my clothes. And that was a lot."
Naruto paled. "B-But you only wear the same clothes!"
Hinata closed her eyes while smiling. "Oh, yes, but I wear a lot of different things at home."
Naruto grit his teeth. 'Damn you, Hanabi… I'll get you for this…'
Hinata walked into a store with Naruto following close behind. When he entered, he saw Yugao with two women he didn't recognize. He saw Kurenai, but didn't know the other two.
Yugao turned around and smiled brightly once she saw Naruto. "Hey Naruto!"
Hinata looked at where the purple haired woman was waving and saw her squad leader next to her. Both genin walked up to the group of four women.
The woman with brown and untamed hair stared at Naruto for a couple of seconds before laughing.
"Kurenai, your genin made him into a pack mule!" Tsume laughed as she pointed at the fifteen bags Naruto had. The whiskered blonde deadpanned at the woman.
"Ahahaha, keep on laughing and I'll stuff you like a suckling roasted pig," Naruto threatened. 'Wait… that didn't sound right.'
The brunette stopped laughing and was stunned at the gall of this young genin. No one had threatened her like that before and she didn't know how to respond, especially from a threat like that. Yugao and Kurenai looked at Naruto in shock.
Naruto heard someone snickering and turned to look at the purple haired woman to his right and raised an eyebrow at her. The woman looked at him with a smirk.
"It seems like you got a slick tongue, kid," Anko asked, putting a hand on her hip. "No one's threatened Tsume like that since most people are even scared to look at her. And now you stunned her to silence, impressive."
"Oh, thanks I guess," Naruto thanked with a slight nod.
"Hinata, why is Naruto carrying… a lot of bags…?" Kurenai asked, shaking out of her shock.
"My clothes were destroyed, and he wanted to come with me to shop for new ones," Hinata responded. Kurenai looked at Naruto and the blonde subtly nodded.
"I feel sorry for you," Anko said with a chuckle. "You should never go with a girl when she's shopping for clothes."
"Oh, I know now, believe me," Naruto said as he sighed again.
Hinata looked at Naruto and slightly bowed. "I'm sorry, Naruto. It won't happen again, I promise."
"It's alright, Hinata, I did wanna come with you after all," Naruto waved off with a warm smile. Hinata looked at him and nodded with a blush. "Anyways, what are you guys doing here?"
"Just browsing around for some casual wear," Yugao responded with a shrug.
"Oh! I forgot to introduce myself. Hi, I'm Naruto Uzumaki!" Naruto greeted with a grin.
"Anko Mitarashi," the purple haired woman greeted with a smirk.
"Tsume Inuzuka," the brunette introduced herself.
"Kurenai Yuhi, but you probably already know me through the jounin squad selection," Kurenai introduced with a small smile.
"Mhm! I remember you! It's hard not to remember a beautiful woman, ya know," Naruto complimented. 'Fuck, that was an accident!'
Kurenei's eyes slightly widened as a small blush appeared on her face. "O-Oh! Thank you, Naruto."
Yugao rubbed his head. "Look at you! Complimenting women like a pro."
Naruto grinned. "Oh come on, you don't need to praise me for that."
"Huh, I never heard anyone outright say that to Kurenai," Anko said as she crossed her arms and gave an amused look towards her black haired friend.
"Heh, they usually are too afraid to. I don't understand why, Kurenai isn't the scary type," Anko added as she crossed her arms too.
"Shut up, Anko!" Kurenai ordered her friend who just snickered.
"Alright, let's get out of these genin's way," Yugao said as she walked up to Naruto. She crouched down to his level and smiled warmly. "Bye Naruto, see you soon."
Naruto nodded, but then she quickly pecked his cheek and moved past him. Naruto was surprised by the action, and looked back to see Yugao just now leaving the store.
"Well, we better follow her," Tsume said as she walked past the genin before turning to look at Naruto. "When you get the chance, come by the Inuzuka compound."
Anko and Kurenai raised an eyebrow at Tsume's leaving form.
"Huh… never heard her say that to anyone before," Kurenai said as she crossed her arms.
Anko looked at Naruto. "You somehow got the interest of Tsume. That's pretty rare, you know. She usually doesn't take an interest in people like that, but I wonder why she did now."
"Oh, uh… thanks? Was it the threat that I made? I didn't mean for it to come out like that," Naruto said as he scratched the back of his head.
"Probably. That's a pretty bold and unusual threat to make to someone. It caught her off guard and she didn't even know how to properly react," Anko speculated with a chuckle. "Well, just visit her when you can, but we should get going now."
Kurenai agreed, then looked at her student. "Bye Hinata. Come to me if you ever want to train, I'll see you at the Chuunin Exams," Kurenai said next as she smiled at the Hyuuga before leaving too.
"Bye Kurenai-sensei!" Hinata called out to her. They both turned around to look at Anko.
"I'll be seeing you guys at the second stage of the Chuunin Exams. If you make it there," she said with a smirk.
"We'll make it to the second stage, believe it!" Naruto stated as he put a fist up.
Hinata nodded. "Yeah! We'll be there, ya know!"
"I'll believe it when I see it."
The two of them watched as Anko left the store to catch up with her three other friends. Naruto then turned to look at Hinata.
"Well, these clothes aren't gonna buy themselves, right?" Naruto jokingly asked as he turned to look at his friend. She turned back and smiled before nodding.
Naruto deadpanned as he watched the scene go down in front of him.
Kin and Hanabi were arguing loudly, making a scene in the middle of a street in Konoha. The whiskered blonde sighed as he facepalmed, not wanting this to happen right now. Him, Moegi, and Hanabi were just walking through Konoha, talking to each other, when Temari and Kin unexpectedly found the group and joined up with them. Somehow along the way, they found Sakura and she joined them as well. The large group continued walking through Konoha and started talking to each other. Hanabi joined in the conversation and Kin started making rude remarks which pissed off the young Hyuuga. The next time Kin spoke, Hanabi began insulting her and the Oto genin had enough of Hanabi and now the two were arguing.
Naruto continued rubbing his face. 'Why me, Kurama…?'
"Good question. I don't know," the Bijuu responded. Naruto could feel him cockily smirking.
'How's your training going? We haven't talked in a day,' Naruto pointed out.
"It's been going well. I mastered Matatabi's power and I am now trying to master Isobu's power,' Kurama answered.
'Good to know your training is going better than what's happening now,' Naruto said as he crossed his arms.
"You know, Kit, you can stop this," the fox mentioned.
'I dunno if I should though.'
"Go for it."
Naruto contemplated his choices in his head before sighing. "Girls!"
Both Hanabi and Kin stopped their arguing to look at Naruto as well as the rest of the group. "Enough with the arguing and let's go. You're making a scene."
Hanabi looked at Naruto, then back at Kin, and smirked, getting an idea. She then looked back at Naruto and smiled. "Okay!"
Kin scoffed as she crossed her arms and looked away. "Whatever."
Sakura looked between the girls and sighed. 'How does Naruto put up with this…?'
"Because he's Naruto," Inner Sakura chimed. Sakura thought about it before shrugging.
"Come on, let's go," Naruto said as he turned around and started walking away with Moegi.
The large group made it to Team 7's training ground. Everyone looked confused as to why Naruto brought them here.
"Why'd you bring us here, Naruto?" Sakura wondered, looking at her blonde teammate.
"Because, no one else is around to hear you argue," Naruto replied and took a seat on a log.
The younger Hyuuga stared at Naruto, then looked at Kin, then back at Naruto and smirked. 'Now's the time.'
Hanabi strolled over to where Naruto was, and the blonde peaked an eye open and watched what the Hyuuga was doing. She jumped up on the log Naruto was sitting on and sat in his lap with a bright smile on her face. The whiskered blonde was slightly shocked at the action, but shook it off.
Hanabi opened her eyes halfway and looked directly at Kin. The Oto genin crossed her arms and glared at Hanabi. The young girl stuck her tongue out which made Kin glare harder.
Temari smirked as she saw the tense interaction, and walked up to Kin.
"What's wrong, Kin? Afraid a little girl is gonna take away Naruto?" Temari asked in a teasing tone that annoyed the noirette.
"Psh, as if! She's just annoying, that's all," Kin replied, now looking at Temari from the corner of her eye.
Temari wasn't convinced. "Uh huh, sure. You're afraid that Hanabi will make Naruto fall in love with her, and you'll never get the chance to have him for yourself, huh?"
Kin lowly growled. "That's not it at all! Where are you getting these stupid ideas from?!"
Temari only looked at her with her smug smirk, before looking back at Hanabi and Naruto and her eyes widened in surprise. Kin also looked and she gasped.
"W-WHAT THE FUCK?!" She exclaimed.
Hanabi took the liberty of claiming Naruto's lips. The whiskered blonde was shocked at this action. Hanabi opened her eyes and looked at the stunned group of girls with a smirk. She soon broke off the kiss and hugged Naruto.
"Thank you, Naruto. You're a good kisser," Hanabi thanked as she snuggled into Naruto's chest. The blonde, still shocked, looked behind Hanabi to find his two other clones and Hinata and Haku staring in shock.
Hanabi felt the silence that fell upon the training ground and looked behind her to see Hinata, Haku, and two Narutos.
"What are you bozos looking at?" Hanabi asked with a small glare.
Hinata shook her head and glared at Hanabi. "So, I see you made the first move."
"Ya snooze, ya lose, ya know," Hanabi said as she stuck her tongue out.
"Well then, I guess I should knock you out, since that's how we're playing this game," Hinata threatened as she activated her Byakugan. Hanabi jolted a bit in surprise. If she were to fight Hinata, she'd lose no doubt.
"Uh… y-you know, you don't have to do that," Hanabi said with a nervous chuckle.
Hinata smiled. "No, I do." Hinata lunged towards Hanabi and the young Hyuuga screamed before jumping away from Naruto.
"Get back here you bitch!" Hinata shouted after a fleeing Hanabi.
"Are you crazy?! I'm not doing that!" Hanabi yelled as she ran around the training ground, hoping Hinata won't catch her.
Kin smirked as she saw this. 'And that's what you get for trying to take Naruto away from me.' Kin took prideful steps towards the shocked Naruto, but stopped whenever a hand gripped her shoulder tightly. She turned around and saw Temari smiling.
"And where do you think you're going?" The sandy blonde questioned.
"Where do you think, Sandy? I'm going towards Naruto, you got a problem with that?" Kin asked as she glared at Temari.
"I do indeed. You're acting like you claimed a prize, when you haven't," Temari replied.
"What are you gonna do about it?"
"Not let you have it." Temari threw Kin behind her and stood in front of Naruto defensively. "He's mine, slut."
Kin brought out two senbon. "You are such a bitch."
Sakura, Haku, and Moegi looked on the sidelines in shock as the two groups of girls began fighting.
"This is… ridiculous…" Sakura said. 'And here I thought Hinata and Hanabi were getting along, but here they are… fighting…'
"You're telling me…" Haku agreed. Moegi pouted before walking up to Naruto and sitting in his lap. The whiskered blonde didn't even react.
"Quite the predicament you're in, Kit," Kurama voiced with a chuckle.
'... How did it get like this…?' The blonde asked himself as he watched the girls fight. 'They're fighting because of me…'
"I can already tell this is going to get crazy. What will you do?" Kurama curiously asked his Jinchuuriki.
'I have no clue. I never expected this to happen.'
Just then, a woman with purple hair landed in front of Naruto and Moegi with Anbu gear on.
"Enough!" The woman shouted, causing everyone to stop and look at her. "This is foolish!"
"And who are you?" Kin asked, before getting smacked in the back of the head by Temari. "Ow! What was that for?!"
"You dumbass, that's an Anbu shinobi!" Temari told before looking back at the woman.
"That is correct. I am an Anbu of Konohagakure, you may call me Cat," the woman confirmed with a head nod. "Now, what are you kids doing fighting like this?"
The four girls that were fighting blushed in embarrassment at realizing what they were doing. Silence fell upon them as no one wanted to answer that question.
"So, you were fighting over Naruto? But for what reason?" Cat asked the group. They all looked down, still not wanting to answer. She then gasped, which made everyone look at her in fear she figured it out. "You all like him, don't you?"
Their blushes deepened as they adopted shocked faces. Even Sakura and Haku had shocked looks.
"H-How do you know that?" Hinata asked.
"It's obvious. Why else would you be fighting over a boy? You all like him, duh," Cat responded as if the answer was obvious. "Well, you guys do like him, right?"
"Y… Yes…" Hanabi admitted, looking at the floor. Naruto's eyes widened at hearing the confession.
'So she actually meant it back then?' He asked himself as he thought back to when Hanabi told him she liked him.
"Raise your hand if you like Naruto more than a friend, and would want to be with him," Cat told the girls as she raised her hand. She looked around as everyone raised their hand besides Sakura. "Well this is troublesome."
The girls looked at each other in surprise. Hinata, Hanabi, and Haku looked at Moegi, Temari, and Kin in shock while they looked at them in an equal amount of it.
Cat adopted a thinking pose as she looked at the ground. 'Well fuck. How am I supposed to confess to Naruto when this many girls like him?' Cat asked herself. Then, an idea came to her mind, but she didn't know if the others would like it, not even herself, but it was the only way she knew to fix the problem. She turned and looked at a blushing Naruto. He was probably thinking about the situation right now and how many girls liked him.
"Well, Kit, this is a surprise of the century," Kurama said as he laughed loudly.
'Shut up you dumb fox! This is serious!'
"A man could only dream of this happening, you should be lucky they're not seriously tearing each other apart by their common interest in you," Kurama stated as he calmed down.
"He's right, ya know. Most girls would try and screw the other over in this situation," Kirai jumped in.
'You too, Kirai?' Naruto mentally sighed. 'I never expected these girls to actually like me like that.'
"Not even the kiss with Temari?" Kurama reminded.
'I did say that things could change… who knows, she might've found Sasuke and went after him right after we left for that night.'
"You're one dense motherfucker, huh?" Kirai guessed.
"How are you dense, but not dense at the same time?" Kurama wondered, agreeing with Kirai.
'W-Wait a minute! This isn't 'Gang Up On Naruto Time,' you jackasses!'
Both Kirai and Kurama sighed.
"Kit… Temari likes you, Kin likes you, Hinata likes you, Hanabi likes you, Haku likes you, and so does Moegi," Kurama informed his Jinchuuriki.
"And so does the woman in front of you," Kirai added. Kurama hummed in agreement.
'Yugao likes me too?!'
"Brat, I can sense other people's emotions, and I can get a clear reading when they're directed towards you. Hinata has liked you for years now, Hanabi has liked you for a while now, Haku has liked you for a while also but not as long as Hanabi, Temari started recently liking you after yesterday and the same with Kin, Moegi liked you ever since you met her and her group, and Yugao had began liking you when you left for Nami, and even the woman at Nami likes you too!" Kirai explained to Naruto.
'W-And you just didn't tell me this why?!'
"Because I thought you'd figure it out yourself, dumbass! But I guess I was wrong!" Kirai exclaimed. Naruto remained silent as he thought over about what Kirai had told him, while Yugao was still thinking.
The Anbu kunoichi shifted her pose and crossed her arms as she looked at everyone. "Alright, I have an idea, but you girls might not like it."
"... What is it?" Kin asked, curious as to what the older woman had in mind.
The purple haired woman took a deep breath. "You girls will have to share Naruto."
I should've mentioned this before, but I'm adding 2 years to Moegi's age and 3 for Hanabi. That also means Konohamaru and Udon are gonna be older than they originally are. That makes Moegi 10, Konohamaru 11, Udon 10, and Hanabi 10. Also, Chuunin Exams are next chapter.
