Next morning ~

Third Person POV ~

Naruto had given the scroll containing a rough sketch of seal to Gaara and explained the process of it all in detail. When he was leaving the tower he bumped into Temari and Kankuro, he had started annoying the former saying he wouldn't leave her until she started helping him train. She had grumbled and huffed but agreed in the end.

"Alright, what help do you want brat?" Temari asked crossing her arms.

"Ah, you are a wind user correct?" Naruto began lightly.

She narrowed her eyes at him in irritation. That was quiet obvious, the fan on her back wasn't just for show. "Hai." She grunted.

He grinned at her, finally getting to topic. "Sweet. Me too. I want help for manipulating and controlling my element better ttebayo."

"You didn't have to nag me so much about this." She grumbled. "I'll give you scrolls for that. You can help yourself."

"Cool. Also,..." Naruto hesitated.

"What?" Temari narrowed her eyes again.

Naruto shifted his weight from one foot to another and blurted, "Can you teach me Tessenjutsu?"

The dirty blonde haired female was surprised, "You want to learn Combat with Fans?" She asked, just to confirm.

"Hai. I know the basics but I want to learn more of it tteba."

She eyed him with a raised brow. "What size do you want to go with? Have you thought?"

"Yeah. Medium size. The big ones are not for me, the small ones are not at all showey." He scratched his cheek with a finger and scrunched his face up.

She eye rolled and he grinned. Typical Naruto.

"Alright, come along. I'll take you to the weapon store and help you choose the right one then we can start training." She shrugged and began walking.

"You're the best Nee-chan, dattebayo!" Naruto cheered.

"Yeah yeah 'course I am." Temari smirked. At least one of her brothers had the ability to smile.

They both reached the weapon store that Temari usually preferred, Kankuro had already left for working on yet another puppet before the two wind users had begun talking.

"Temari-sama. How can I help you today?" A man, about the age of 30s, greeted bowing to his usual customer just sparing a single glance at her fellow blonde.

"This boy here wants to choose a battle fan. Showey but elegant at the same time. Nothing too big or small, preferably average in size." Temari replied with her powerful voice.

Naruto mused, the authority in her hasn't change a bit since he had first seen the girl during Chunin exams. Though she doesn't treat people like the dirt of her shoe like she used to.

That's when the man at the counter shifted his eyes to look at Naruto properly. The man eyed him from head to toe for what seemed like several hours but was only seconds, as if assessing him. Naruto willed himself not to fidget that he was so tempted to do. Sure he liked attention but stares have always been unnerving.

The man nodded, "Follow me, my lady, shinobi-san."

"Aa. I'm Uzumaki Naruto, ttebayo."

"Nice to meet you ttebayo-san, I am Mehagi Kenta. The owner of this store." The man, now known as Kenta introduced himself.

Temari snorted unable to control herself and Naruto's face flushed with embarrassment.

"Uzumaki-san or Naruto-san or Naruto will do, tteba." Naruto muttered giving Temari the stink eye when she chuckled again at his slip. Temari lost control on her laughter at that glare. The boy could not glare even if his life depended on it.

"I apologize, Uzumaki-san." Kenta bowed lightly. Naruto sighed and waved it off.

"He has wide range of weapons for wind element." Temari supplied getting her laughter under control, Naruto huffed at her and nodded distracted. His eyes were roaming all over the store. As they moved further Naruto could see different weapons. Something on his way caught his attention and he missed a step, if not for his Shinobi skills he would've laid flat on his face. It was a bow, uniquely made bow. He had never seen such a thing and he wanted to inspect further but decided to keep that for some other time. He eyed it longer, intrigued, than others and moved further, falling in step with Temari.

"We do have weaponary for wind element more but that is not all. We have other elements as well, I myself am fluid in making weapons and most of these are made by my hands." Kenta said proudly to both Temari and Naruto.

"Sugoi. Can you alter something in the weapon I choose, if I ask you to?" Naruto had to ask because he will have to ask for some changes. He just knew it.

"Hai. Usually Shinobi find something of their liking but the weapon lacks a part of their style so, yes I can alter." The man nodded.

"That's really nice tteba." Naruto nodded back, eyes still not settling on one place.

They reached a corner, not quite large nor small. After all Suna did have wind element users more but fans weren't that very popular, seeing that they were delicate to use and needed precision to handle. "Here, as you can see are two different sections. One is chakra infused, that will handle the pressure of chakra to certain limit and another is traditional, like the ones samurai used." Kenta said moving to one side of the said sections. True to his words there was a slight space between the two sections, the traditional ones looked antique and very well crafted. No matter how pretty or tempting some looked, Naruto knew they were of no value to him.

Temari opted to stand on the sidelines to watch her fellow wind user while the said wind user opted to go nearer to inspect his possibly to-be weapon/s.

"How much of chakra can these chakra infused fans take? What is the limit?" Naruto questioned inspecting a Gunbai.

"This Gunbai here, it has the capability to reflect Chunin level techniques and is capable of holding low Jounin level chakra burst." Kenta answered honestly, because firstly he didn't lie to any of his customers, secondly Temari-sama was just standing nearby and it won't do any good to lie and thirdly the Konoha blonde Shinobi didn't look above Chunin at best. How much chakra could he even channel? Kenta had no reason to lie.

"Mmhmm, won't do. Something with heavy chakra standing capability perhaps?" Naruto put the Gunbai fan at its place again and moved further to inspect else.

Kenta frowned slightly, he didn't have any right to comment on any customer's strength so he held his tongue back and answered the boy in front of him, "Well, there are several Tensen, Gunsen and Gunbai with Jounin level resistance."

"Maybe I can try Gunsen fans? They interest me." Naruto wondered aloud looking at the set of matching Gunsen fans.

"Nice choice. Practical, and if you aren't going to use them all the time, they can be handy when needed and compatibily sheathed when not." Temari commented nodding in approval at his choice. She didn't have anything against other two but she just found Gunsen better for the petite young man.

It was almost evening by the time Naruto had chosen a pair of fans and practiced along with Temari a suitable Kata. She had given him several tips, dos and don'ts, and also how to take care of each fan. The fans' which he had got, it's folding part were maroon in color with a simple sun like design in the middle of it of golden color, the support part, holding part, was of black color. The fan however was made of light weight chakra infused iron material and was complimenting his chakra just fine but he could tell, in case he ever used Kurama's chakra or when his reserves increase, because he knew his reserves like no other grew rapidly, the fan wouldn't last. He will have to find some material that lasts even after he uses his higher power and biju's chakra, not just for fans but also his sword/s.

Kazekage Tower ~

It was around mid afternoon when Chiyo-Baa knocked the door and entered along with her brother Ebizo. Gaara already knew the man would accompany her so he didn't question. They greeted him as they do and all Gaara returned to them with was a nod.

"Leave us." Gaara's ordered. As the guards trickled out, the silencing barrier was put up.

"What is this about, Gaara?" Chiyo questioned.

Gaara simply passed her the scroll Naruto had given him that very morning. Chiyo and Ebizo exchanged a look, Chiyo unrolled scroll and her eyebrows rose.

"What can you tell me about this?" Gaara watched them impassively and voice like always monotonone.

"Hmm," She began analyzing squinting her eyes to get a better look, "This is a really advanced piece of work, however roughly sketched. This seal can contain a huge force of chakra." She squinted her eyes more and her forehead creased, how did Gaara get such a piece of work? She continued, "Hmm, something like a biju, it has the capability of containing a biju. Can also manipulate by will whether to use that force or not. How did you get this Gaara? This is quite impressive." Chiyo commented examining the seal thoroughly.

Ebizo listened patiently, feigning sleep. This was a complex matter, not just the seal but the whole ordeal, and he had an inkling of what was coming next.

"What is the difference between this seal and my seal?" Gaara's question surprised the elders.

"Well," Chiyo hesitated slightly.

"Tell me Lady Chiyo, why was the seal placed on me while I was in the womb of my birth mother?" Gaara didn't bother to wait for her answer and simply threw another question that caught the Honoured Siblings off guard.

"You, you were the only compatible one among your siblings to be able to carry the demon." Sweat formed on Chiyo's forehead. She didn't want to get on the end of stick of Gaara's anger.

"That doesn't explain why it had be done even before I was born." Gaara leaned forward with his palms now intertwined, looking more intimidating then before but nothing on his face or his voice changed.

Chiyo gulped and sighed resigned, "We were losing our influence in the other 4 elemental nations because our Wind Daimyo was neglecting us and our village were down resources and our wealth was decreasing rapidly. Also, the sudden disappearance of Sandaime Kazekage was troubling the whole village. Because of heavy cuts toSunagakure's budget, theYondaime Kazekage, Rasa, your fatherwanted to make one of his children theJinchurikiof theIchibi no Shukakuto serve as a weapon for the village.Your elder siblings,Temariand thenKankuro, had not been compatible with Shukaku. Rasa's third child, that would be you, was compatible, and for that reason Shukaku was sealed into you by myself while you were still in your mother's womb."

"Is it imagineable that had the sealing not been done while I wasn't even born, my mother would've survived childbirth?" Gaara's question was like a dagger in heart for both elders because Gaara knew. He just wanted them or her to know that he does. He does know and he hasn't reacted yet.

"Is it quite plausible." Chiyo answered without hesitation. Lying would get her nowhere and what's done is done. Nothing can be changed what has already occurred in the past. Even she knew, had they waited a little maybe Gaara wouldn't have born premature and maybe his mother, Karura, wouldn't have died and Rasa wouldn't have been lost in grief after her death to fall as low as sending numerous assassins after his own son.

"Sou ka. This seal, what does my seal lack comparing this?" Gaara repeated his first question and Chiyo didn't know whether she should frown at the topic change or not.

"Your seal Gaara, it is comparitively weak. The deduction that I observed a while ago, this seal has all while the one placed on you lacks." Chiyo answered.

The red head nodded. "Alright. That is all."

"Gaara.." Chiyo began but was cut off by Gaara himself.

"I have a lot to think about Lady Chiyo. You are dismissed." The Kazekage stated still as impassive as ever, now about to busy himself with paperwork.

"Hai." They bowed and left. No doubt Gaara has become a fine leader but Chiyo could not help the slight guilt that was rushing towards her. It was her who sealed the demon so poorly in Gaara after all, the guilt was washing over her anew.

As they left Gaara turned his seat around to look at the village through the window he has become a leader of and sighed.

He has made his decision.

Looking at his village people chatting and roaming laughing, he can't help but feel he has a lot to learn and way more ways to go. But one thing is sure, he will die to protect this village and he will recieve the acknowledment that he still hasn't recieved for being a leader. It will be a long way indeed. Maybe it is his selfish desire too but if he has to sacrifice himself for the sake of even one person here he wouldn't hesitate.

Next day ~

Suna Inn ~

The morning had been productive, team Kakashi and Naruto had met up in gym and worked a sweat together. Like the past two days, they were going to meet in the lobby and go out for breakfast. As Kakashi got ready he sat on his bed waiting for his temporary roomie so they could go together downstairs. However, said roomie had different plans.

"Kaka-chan~" Naruto began in a sing song voice.

Kakashi paid no mind.

"Kaka-chan~" Naruto repeated in the same tone.

Kakashi focused on his book.

"Kashi-chan~" Naruto whined.

Kakashi still didn't give a fuck.

Naruto pouted folding his arms over his chest. Why was sensei not giving him attention?

Idea!

A face splitting grin overcame Naruto's face as his eyes glinted mischievously that would've sent alarms in Kakashi's head, had he been paying attention. Naruto suppressed a chuckle, it's been so long since he pranked someone.

Naruto did one hand sign and his body covered in smoke, there was no sound to indicate that he had performed a jutsu. However the smoke should've sent alarms in Kakashi's head but the pervert was busy in his Icha Icha.

Naruto crawled slowly towards his sensei stealthily but Kakashi was not one of the best ANBU for nothing, he felt Naruto moving towards him but did no indication to show that he has already felt the approach. He waited on the edge of the bed for Naruto to finish his games so they could move out peacefully. Naruto having no idea that Kakashi had already felt him getting closer to him snaked his smooth feminine arms around Kakashi's chest, "Kashi-kun?" Naruto, now very feminine and very naked, whispered in the copy nin's ear timidly in a female voice.

Kakashi froze. 'What the-?' Kakashi kept his eyes on his book, he could feel Naruto's body warmth on his back and he cursed internally, someone remind him why the fuck did he not wear his flak jacket?! Naruto not getting a reaction from the silveret attached her body to Kakashi's back effectively pressing her firm breasts to his back and Kakashi forced his body to relax. Naruto still not satisfied with the lack of reaction and attention moved her body in the arms of Kakashi in a way that would've sent acrobats run for their money. Naruto settled her body in between Kakashi's arms straddling him and leaned closer, a coy finger making innocent patterns on his chest.

"Kashi-kun, won't you look at me?" Naruto whispered biting her lip and looking from underneath her long lashes.

Kakashi looked at Naruto slowly, keeping his face straight. The female in front of him looked so tempting right now, free long blonde locks reaching till her waist, soft facial features, tan skin and so so so naked. It's been so long since he had last laid and the object of his desire was right in front of his eyes.

"Oh Kashi-kun, stop staring at me like that. If you want something," She leaned in to whisper seductively in his ear, "then ask for it." And bit his uncovered ear a little by taking his earlobe in between her teeth.

Naruto felt Kakashi grit his teeth and she smirked. She opened her mouth slightly and licked the back of his neck and blew air lightly. He shivered and grasped her waist bringing her closer.

"What's wrong Kashi-kun? Are you in pain?" She said in the seductive voice that Kakashi was coming to love and hate to hear. She leaned closer again, to his face this time, as one of her hand went slowly to his neck and other to his bare forearm in a suggestive manner. As if that wasn't enough she bounced in her place lightly, making her breast bounce and Kakashi being a proud pervert he is, his eyes were drawn to those big breasts and pink nipples. He wanted to fondle those breasts and maybe suck them until they were quivering and she is already in the right position all he has to do is unzip his pants and fuck Naruto senseless making her bounce repeatedly like that. He paused at that thought, shit. Shit. Shit. SHIT, he really thought of Naruto. Not her. He literally just thought he didn't care which gender Naruto was, he wanted to fuck Naruto senseless. The realization struck him like Raikiri and he violently pushed the female Naruto and flipped her on her back on his bed. His hungry eyes turned angry. Oh, he was livid now, what the hell was Naruto doing to him?! This was not just someone, this was his sensei's son! How dare he think about sensei's son like that! He was supposed to protect Naruto from the lecherous perverts after him not become one of them! His eye flashed dangerously and Naruto's face went from confused to scared in a blink. She opened her mouth to say something but it came out as a startled gasp as Kakashi entraped her wrists above her head in a bruising grip and his body weight settled on her in a way she couldn't even wiggle. "Just what the hell do you think you were doing?" He growled lowly.

"I-I-I.." She gulped as Kakashi tightened his grip, "I-I'm s-sor-ry." Naruto apologized weakly "It was j-just a prank. I didn't mean to up-upset you." And averted her eyes shamefully. He squeezed her wrists painfully and a tear fell from her eye as she whimpered.

"Next time you pull something like that on me," He began leaning closer and she didn't dare breath "and I will fuck you so hard you won't be able to walk for days even with your healing abilities." He threatened in her ear and she shivered. She bit back a moan as he gave a strong thrust to prove his point.

She laid there breathing shakily, immobile even after Kakashi got up and walked towards the door. He looked at his Icha Icha reaching for the door knob.

He had just threatened, it was just a threat not a promise, just a warning. He wouldn't act on that warning on sensei's son, he looked back at his bed where now a fully dressed male Naruto lay sporting a blush on his cheeks and breathing heavily, or would he?

Kakashi left without saying a word.

Naruto laid there for a while, trying to get his breath in control and fight down the blush on his face and not to mention his... problem. He sighed, was he really that desperate that he got aroused by his own sensei?

He decided to distract himself so that he didn't think about Kakashi on top of him thrusting powerfully and him beneath moaning for mo-.

He was doing the exact opposite of what he was supposed to do, wasn't he? But... The way Kakashi entraped his hands above his head and sensei's whole body weight on him was just so... He didn't know how to define it but it was something he wanted again.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!" He screamed in his hands, "What the hell am I thinking!? That is sensei! How can I think about Kakashi sensei that way!?" He scolded himself harshly and snarled as Kurama roared with laughter. Kurama was definitely a pervert!

He shook his head violently and got up from Kakashi's bed and sat down on his own. He remembered what he was going to do before this whole ordeal and he retrieved a blank scroll, a brush and ink and began to write,

Hokage-sama,By the time you receive this scroll I'll be done with what I'm about to do.I'm changing Kazekage-sama's seal for Shukaku once he allows me to.Uzumaki Naruto.

As he put the scroll aside to let the ink dry, Kakashi entered the room and Naruto blushed a little. "I'm really sorry sensei. Dattebayo." He apologized sincerely rubbing the back of his neck then bowed.

"Maa, don't sweat it." Kakashi waved his hand dismissively giving a quick eye smile and eyes back on his book. He looked up again noticing the scroll, being the nosy Jounin he is, he asked, "Maa Naruto-kun, what is that?"

"A scroll for Baa-chan ttebayo." Naruto shrugged.

"Aa. Is it related to the meetings you have been having with Kazekage-sama?" Kakashi rose his visible silver eyebrow.

"Hai, it is about that only." Naruto nodded.

"What is 'that'?" Kakashi tilted his head one side looking at the scroll.

Naruto looked at Kakashi and tilted his head on one side too, they both were now looking like innocent puppies, "I'm going to change Gaara's seal tteba."

Kakashi paused and his visible eye widened, "Wait what?"

"Yeah."

"Uh, would you mind if I tag along with you when you do so?"

"I don't mind, Dattebayo."

Seeing that his scroll had dried nicely, he did hand seals to summon one of his messenger toads. Once he sent the message with the toad, both Kakashi and Naruto left downstairs to meet up with the team. Kakashi's Icha Icha Tactics was in his hand but now his attention was on Naruto who was explaining the seal animatedly with wild hand gestures.
