Greetings.Many of you in the review section suggested sex scenes but I am sorry to dissappoint you guys, I am not that good in writing lemons yet, so the story won't contain it for the foreseeable future. But, if any of you have experience in writing them, you are all very much welcomed to collaborate with me, any help will be much appreciated, just message me in my DM and we will see how to proceed from there. Anyway, continuing with the story.

'internal thoughts'"

Normal conversation"

It was a busy day in Konoha, the markets were flooded with vendors and shopkeepers selling their wares while people were rushing about with their shopping. This was a usual day in Konoha, even though there was a war going on, it did not stop the traders from doing business. The security in the village was extremely high, as it is expected to be in a time of war. Ninja's were strategically positioned over the entire village to spot spies as well as keep an eye on the people, but none of these ninja were visible. They were hidden so well that only an extremely talented and experienced shinobi could notice them.

These were the special-ops unit known as The Anbu, they are covert operatives consisting of capable ninjas that are dispatched by their village leader to to protect the village from exceptional threats, their missions mainly consists of high-risk infiltration into enemy territory, dealing with extremely strong ninja, tracking, surveillance, interrogating enemy ninja to learn information and missions requiring specially trained ninja.

So, Naruto was reasonably surprised when 4 of these anbu had surrounded him with their swords drawn. He tried to find a reason as to why an anbu team would be attacking him but none came to mind, sighing, he decided to play along for now.

"I don't know why you want to attack me, but before we start, does anyone of you want to leave".

As he spoke, he started to leak his chakra and killing intent, causing 2 of them to stager but they didn't retreat, with an evil smirk he continued "Good, this will be fun".

It had been 2 days since Naruto had arrived back to the village but only on the third day morning did he leave his house. He was walking close to a limping Mikoto with a hand on her waist to support her. Aside from her limp, she had a bright glow on her skin with an satisfied aura around her body and a beautiful smile on her face. Many villagers would stop what they were doing just to admire her beauty.

"They definitely know we did it" Naruto whispered in her ear, causing her to blush red and hide her face with her hands.

"You weren't this embarrassed when we did it for 2 whole days" he continued, this caused her to blush even harder.

"Mou, stop being so mean to me" she replied in a hushed toned while using Naruto's arm to hide her face.

"I can't help it, teasing you is so much fun!".

The two had left the house after 2 days of vigorous love making, they would have continued further had Mikoto not reminded Naruto that Kushina would be arriving today. So, after doing it in the bathroom one last time, they both cleaned themselves up and went about cleaning up the house, or what was left of it.

During their 2 day sex marathon, they had done it practically everywere in the house, from bedroom doors to the kitchen floors, and during their rutting session, they had destroyed most of the furniture. The beds, the couch, the tables, most of the furniture had not survived. So after having a huge breakfast, they had decided to buy some new furniture and burn the broken ones, along with mattress, sheets and all. This was the reason they were roaming the village. They had already bought new furniture to replace the broken ones, along with some new ones which Mikoto had shown interest in, Naruto had stored all the furniture in a scroll and passed it along to his clones so that they could arrange it back to the way it was.

By the time their shopping was done, it was already lunch time so they had decided to dine out. While many noticed the limp and the telltale signs of their deed, none were brave enough to comment on it, and those who tried, one look from Naruto made them shut up immediately.

After their lunch was over they had decided to head back but Mikoto had suddenly remembered some clan related work she had to do and excused herself, while Naruto thought her sudden departure was suspicious he decided not to comment on it.

After she had left, Naruto decided to go to his old traning ground, the training ground 7. Reaching the training field, Naruto stood in its clearing for few seconds with his eyes closed then loudly announced.

"Come out!, I already know you are here".

At first, the clearing remained empty, with only Naruto standing there with his hands in his pockets but few seconds later 4 ninjas with black cloaks and a hood over their heads, appeared around him.

"You have been following me since I left the restaurant" Naruto started, but none of them replied "Your skills in chakra suppression are quite note worthy, there aren't many ninjas who can hide from my sensing ability, even now while I can see you all standing here, I can't sense even a minuscule amount of chakra from you, very impressive" he further praised.

"But the question still remains, why are 4 Anbu following me" at his mention of Anbu, they finally decided to pull up their hoods, revealing masks that the Anbu black ops usually wore when they were on duty. The older one, possibly in his teens, wore a fox mask while the others wore a dog, snake and a lion mask respectively, the last three appeared to be around 13.

"Well?" he asked, his hands still in his pockets and a bored look on his face, not at all threatened by having 4 deadly assassin surround him "Speak up, I haven't got all day".

This gained an reaction from the older one, if he was an he or she, Naruto did not know as the cloak made it impossible to decern the gender. The older one removed his tanto from its sheathe on his back and stood in a ready stance, following his action the other three also processed to do the same.

As soon as Naruto released his chakra, the fox masked anbu (Will call them by their masks from now on) immediately flashed on top of him with his tanto raised in an overhead strike. Naruto widened his eyes at the display of speed but apart from that didn't appear much worried, he easily evaded that strike and the other two which followed.

'He is fast, no doubt, but not fast enough'

Naruto thought as he dodged another strike. Soon, the lion and the snake joined the fight too, having finally recovered from the effects of Naruto's killing intent. Their teamwork was topnotch, Naruto realised, but the two of them simply lacked the experience and skills to really match him, even when he was only dodging and not fighting back, they could hardly keep up.

Few minutes in the fight, they too realised the same thing he did and were now only supporting fox as his speed had dramatically increased along with his strength, yet, he was still not able to land even a single hit on Naruto. This went on for few more minutes, evading yet another of their combined attack strategy, Naruto flashed a couple of meters away from them.

'Fox's speed has increased drastically, so has his strength, the other two are also trying their hardest to land a hit. Yet, I still can't sense even a smudge of their chakra, either they are extremely skilled in hiding their chakra or they have chakra cloaking seals, possibly on thier cloaks' Naruto thought as he stood in a relaxed stance, his hands still in his pockets.

"Is that it?" he asked in a bored tone "I was expecting more". As he finished taunting them, he suddenly widened his eyes as a huge fireball the size of a horse fell on him from above.

Dog landed besides fox as he finished his technique. "That must have definitely got him! " snake, finally broke their silence "We saw him get swallowed by the fire, there is no way he comes out of that unharmed".

"That could have been a clone" dog commented.

"And when would he have made that, we were watching him the entire time, from the restaurant to here, he didn't even have time to execute a Kawari (body replacemen)" lion countered.

"Stop bickering. We are going to find out soon enough" fox interrupted, her voice that of a female, as she motioned to the smoke clearing from the crater.

As the smoke cleared all four widened their eyes.

"No way"

"How?"

"I sought of expected some thing like this"

The last part was said by dog, they all stared in shock at Naruto, who apart from slightly singed clothes and smoke rising out from his body, had no visible damage on him, he was even standing the same way he was before, hands in his pockets and a bored look on his face.

They all stood in shock for few seconds before snake finally yelled in frustration, "How are you still unharmed?, I clearly saw you get hit by that jutsu".

"I'll be honest", Naruto started "I wasn't expecting that. I didn't sense any chakra from dog or from his attack until he had finally executed the jutsu, I am guessing those cloaks have seals in them which hides your chakra completely, but, they are also actively suppressing most of your chakra, so, while the attack was commendable and your teamwork was spot-on, the attack just didn't have enough power to harm me, it would have seriously harmed any other ninja, but I am not just any another ninja, am I" He spoke in a condescending voice, "anyway, those cloaks are well suited for assassinations and espionage but would prove more of a hindrance in an all out battle, especially against a strong opponent".

The three looked to Fox for conformation, who gave a subtle nod, confirming Naruto's hypothesis.

"Well, lets take off our cloaks then, I am sure all four of us together can beat him" Lion exclaimed with conviction while removing his cloak.

"No, don't!" Fox tried to warn but he had already removed his cloak, so had snake.

"Idiots" dog muttered.

"Why, what happened?" Lion asked, snake nodded in conformation, not understanding why dog was so annoyed.

"The whole point of wearing the cloaks was not letting him sense our chakra. He wanted you to remove your cloaks and you, like idiots just gave him what he wanted, now he can sense you and recognise who you are."

Fox sighed, "Well, there goes our element of surprise, might as well remove our masks and cloaks, he has probably recognised us by now." she continued, removing her cloak and finally her mask.

"Kushina!!" Naruto exclaimed with an overly exaggerated expression "No way!, I totally didn't know that was you or that the two of them were Kakashi and Nawaki" he continued with an astonished expression, then looked at the trees to his right "Or that the hokage is hiding there with Mikoto and someone else" there was silence for few seconds after which there was some shuffling in the trees, out came the Hokage and Mikoto, with sheepish smiles and a Anbu with dragon mask.

"Mikoto, how could you?" Naruto exclaimed, still in his astonished persona.

"Enough with the theatrics" Hokage replied, while Mikoto smiled sheepishly.

"So, what was this about?, are you ordering hits on your own shinobi now?" Naruto asked, cleaning his ear with his pinky, now back to his usual self, "I sort of expected this from Danzo, but I can't say I am surprised."

"Naruto!" Kushina exclaimed "That's very disrespectful" she admonished him, "he is our Hokage".

"It's ok, I know he really doesn't mean it" Sarutobi intervened, "Probably" he muttered under his breath.

"Anyway," Mikoto started, ignoring the Hokage's last remark "It was a test for recruiting you into the Anbu, Kushina and I are both Anbu members, so we requested to participate, Kakashi, Nawaki and Anko here were recently scouted for Anbu because of their skills and since I couldn't fight you because.. " she replied with a blush "You know, my injury during our 'training' these past two days, they decided to participate instead of me"

"Yeah, 'training' ", Naruto replied with a smirk.

"Is that why you are limping Mikoto?" Kushina asked, not understanding what the 'training' really meant "That's so unfair, I want to train with you and Naruto too".

There was a brief silence in which Mikoto blushed harder than before and tried to hide her face, failing miserably, while the Hokage secretly wiped his nosebleed, the anbu turned around and lifted his mask, possibly to do the same.

"Don't worry, we will be 'training' together very soon" Naruto replied with a smirk.

Kushina nodded innocently, happy that she will get to train with him.

The hokage coughed in his hand, bringing their attention back to him.

"Anyway, you obviously passed the test, didn't he dragon?".

The dragon masked anbu nodded "Yes, he did. I am the anbu Commmander" he introduced "While I don't usually come to these tests, yours skills and strength are well-known among us, so I couldn't miss the opportunity to see you in a fight and while I do think, not using your arms to fight an Anbu is very disrespectful to them and infinitely more dangerous for you, but if you are still alive and without a mark on you, even against Kushina, then you are obviously very skilled. She is one of our best swordswomen, only Mikoto could really match her in swordsmanship, the other three are nothing to scoff at either".

" Well, I don't think she was really fighting me with the intention to harm me and while the other three are definitely skilled and would be powerful when they mature, I personally don't think they should be recruited so soon, plus Nawaki doesn't have the suitable personality to become a Anbu, he is too happy go lucky for that, while Kakashi is suited for it, he is way too young, I don't know much about Anko but she too is young to be in Anbu " Naruto explained, " Anyway, this is all my personal opinion, so it's your choice really. "

Kakashi took the criticism calmly but the other two were absolutely livid, they wanted to argue but were quickly stopped by Kushina, who, expecting their outburst, had already threatened them with more brutal training.

" Did you like the cloaks" Hokage started, deciding to change the topic "They were made by Kushina from scratch. Pretty useful aren't they", Kushina passed her cloak to Naruto, who, after studying it for a few seconds handed it back to her.

"The seal work is pretty sophisticated, the chakra suppression and redirection are brilliant too." Naruto commended "It's only real down side is, you can't freely use all of your chakra and making the seals and weaving them into the cloak is very time consuming, I bet that must have been a nightmare, Only an Uzumaki could possibly make something so brilliant. I am proud of you Kushina." Naruto finished with a smile on his face.

" Thank you, it means alot coming from you and yeah, making them was a nightmare, it took me almost 3 years to make only 4 of them and they are not even perfect".

" Enough about the cloaks" Nawaki had finally had enough "We know they are amazing, but can we get back to the fight. I really want to show Naruto sensei what we all have accomplished" Anko agreed with him, nodding her her, she continued "Plus, we were at a disadvantage as the cloak had suppressed a lot of our chakra, we couldn't even use any jutsu, Kakashi only could, because we distracted you long enough for him to properly mold his chakra".

"I too agree with them, I would also like to measure up against you" Kakashi agreed with his teammates.

"You know what" Hokage started "I was going to send Naruto on a mission, that's why I was testing him in the first place, but if you can show yourself capable enough, I am willing to send you with him. How about it Naruto?"

"Sure, why not" Naruto agreed "But, if they are not able to defeat me, they will immediately be removed from Anbu program, for now".

"Agreed" Sarutobi responded before any three of them could argue, "But, Kushina will also fight you, sending them against you alone would be like sending a lamb to a lion, they will be destroyed in seconds".

"Thanks for the vote of confidence" Kakashi replied sarcastically but was completely ignored.

"Sure and you know what, if anyone of you could force me to use my sharingan I'll let you all come with me, even if you loose, how does that sound?" Naruto proposed, they all immediately agreed.

"And what about my prize?" Kushina asked "I too need some incentive to win".

"Ohh, you will be getting it, no matter you win or lose" Naruto replied, bringing in another awkward silence as Kushina tried to understand what he meant.

"Ooook" The hokage started, breaking the silence again "Lets get into position" with that he and others jumped back "You know the rules, just let me know when you are ready".

After giving their cloaks to Mikoto for safe keeping, they all stood in the middle of the clearing facing Naruto, who unlike before, was standing completely alert with his hands folded in front of his chest.

"Come at me with the intention to kill and don't hold back, else you will be in a world of pain".

They all nodded and stood in a ready stance with their tanto out.

" Kushina, remember, don't hold 'anything' back".

She nodded, understanding his message.

"Aren't you going to use any weapon" Anko asked, as he was still standing unarmed.

"Well, I haven't bought any of my weapons since I didn't know I was gonna have to fight today but don't worry, I still have one on me, just pray you don't see it" he finished ominously, with a clap.

After signaling the hokage that they were ready, the hokage yelled a loud "Begin" from his vantage point in the trees.

At first, nobody moved, but soon the three them jumped back to the jungle and retreated, leaving behind Kushina and Naruto alone.

"Are you just gonna dodge like before or actually fight me this time" Kushina asked as she readied her tanto.

"We will just have to find out, won't we?" Naruto replied and got into an relaxed stance "Come" he motioned her and she vanished in blur, Compared to her previous speed in her cloak, this speed was like comparing an turtle to a cheetah. Jumping back from her overhead slash, Naruto moved to put some distance between them but Kushina didn't let him, she was on his position again, moving faster than a naked eye could follow and swinging her tanto towards his neck. With a quick slap to the side of the tanto, Naruto barely got away from the attack.

"Are you only going to run?" Kushina yelled in irritation.

Naruto smiled and pointed at her tanto,

"Oh shi-" she couldn't finish it as she was engulfed in an explosion and thrown back to the other side of the field.

"Oh seals, what would I do without you" Naruto sighed in delight.

Kakashi watched as Kushina was engulfed in an explosion and thrown away.

"Will she be alright?" Anko asked from her spot next to him.

"We should be more worried about ourselves, he is coming here now" Nawaki warned.

"Don't worry, just follow the plan." they all nodded and hid in their assigned spot.

Naruto walked through the jungle whistling a jaunty tune, the surrounding then suddenly lit up as he took another step.

"Ooh, explosive tags, nice" with that he jumped high in the air, avoiding the huge explosions which would have definitely caused serious injury, had he been caught in it.

As he was falling back, he noticed a glint of steel which was approaching him, fast, he moved his head just in time to avoid getting skewered by a kunai, suddenly the entire forrest was filled with these glints.

"Oh, they are good" he muttered as he finished a hand seal.

"Fuuton : Diatoppa (Wind release : Great breakthrough)

Releasing a large blast of air, which covered almost the entire forest, Naruto stopped their deadly assault of kunais as he fell back to ground. As soon as he landed, his feet were engulfed by mud, stopping any of his movements, then came wooden roots binding him on his spot. Soon snakes slithered out of the mud, further binding him with their bodies.

"Uzumaki sealing : Body binding".

Kakashi called out his jutsu and slammed his hands on the ground. Soon, Naruto was covered in mud, wood, snakes and seals, rendering him completely immobile.

"Yeah, I can wield mokuton too now, Do you yield?" Nawaki asked as he placed his balde on Naruto's throat while Anko positioned her blade near his spine. Kakashi stood a few meters away with his tanto ready in his hand.

"This was easy" Anko commented cheekily,

"Yeah, too easy" Kakashi muttered suspiciously, "Nawaki, impale his shoulder, he could be a clone".

"But-" Nawaki started but was immediately interrupted, "Just do it!, don't argue".

Naruto meanwhile was smirking at them, he didn't stop even after he got stabbed didn't pop.

"Yours strategy was excellent, so was your teamwork, each one of you showed some of your best techniques and Nawaki you unlocked your Mokuton, good for you. I would have clapped and congratulated you more had I not been bounded" , Naruto praised them, the tanto still sticking out of his shoulder.

"So you accept we are better than you?" Nawaki asked with a smile on his face making Naruto smile "Sure, why not?".

"I can't believe we defeated 'The great Naruto Uzumaki Uchiha', even S class shinobis like A and B couldn't do that" Anko commented, ecstatic that she defeated someone so powerful.

"Yeah", Kakashi started with a suspicion tone "It's unbelievable, it's almost like we are-" Kakashi suddenly widened his eyes, finally noticing something amiss.

"Where is Kushina-sensei?" he suddenly asked looking around.

"She must have been knocked out by that explosion" Nawaki replied, not understanding what Kakashi was getting at.

"That's impossible, one tag wouldn't be enough to knock her out, believe me I have seen her tank through much worse".

"Oh, so you finally noticed" Naruto commented "Took you long enough".

"What does he mean, Kakashi?. What did you notice?" Anko asked, worried.

"We defeating him", he started, "it was so easy because we are in a Genjutsu".

They all widened their eyes and immediately flared their chakra.

The effects were immediate, the world around them warped and twisted, then shattered until they were back to the original place where they were before the fight had even begun.

Looking down Kakashi noticed that they hadn't even moved from their spot, they had all noticed it by now.

Anko immediately fell on her knees, "I can't believe we were fooled by a Genjutsu".

Nawaki soon followed her, "We were fools to believe we had any chance against someone like him, he beat us without even lifting a finger".

Kakashi too looked disheartened, after so much training and hardwork, he still couldn't even measure up to his idol. He could hear swords clashing in the background, so Kushina-sensei was still fighting, meaning they still had a chance, but would they even make a difference. Naruto was superior to them in everyway. They had been defeated and they knew it.

He closed his eyes in sadness and dissappointment, but, then he remembered a lesson Naruto had once thought him.

"You are not really defeated if you are beaten or knocked down. You are truly defeated only when you don't try to get back up".

Kakashi opened his eyes, the vigor and confidence in him returning.
