Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any character that is in the lovely and addicting anime.

A/N: Sorry guys that it took so long. I'm having computer issues and have a lazy computer repairman who doesn't look like he's going to get off his ass any time soon to get it fixed. I will be doing one chapter as quick as I am able to so let's see how this story will progress.

Thanks to:

Silvermane1: They might surprise you all on exactly how supportive and protective they are towards Naruto.

Inuyasha16451: Sorry for the cliffhanger, I just couldn't help myself.

Pepetrump: Okay this one is a stupid one. First off look at their name and they have the balls to go on here and say that it's "Gay" without even reading the summary. Durr, this story isn't meant for those who are homophobes or any others who would frown upon those who are transgender. If you don't like it there is a red box with a white "x" at the top right corner of your page. Do us all a favor and click on it. Then go access your computer access panel and block fanfiction from your browser. We do not always write straight stories.

Darkhuntressxir: Yup, I will not have a weakling character that depends only on their partner to stay alive.

Cassie07: You have your wish, my dear. I hope you will enjoy this update that I am so sorry about taking so long for it to come out. I have decided to start another story but it will not be on here. It's basically about the beginning of a zombie apocalypse and how it affects Were's of all kinds. We did have great holidays here. Though it is still a bit on the wary side considering both the hubby and my daughter have been going through doctor appointments like crazy. They have done a DNA mapping on my daughter to see which could be the cause for her seizures but they said they are inconclusive until they look at ours, so now we have to literally go there and have blood drawn for ours. The hubby has now had to have surgery a few times now; mostly eye surgery but we kind of expected this. Cassie, you are right when you are thinking that this person below you is an unwanted content. People that always turn their thinking around at the drop of a hat, one minute they are saying they love it then the next they are knocking transgender. Sorry, I hate that.

Emowoods205: Yeah, that twist kind of just hit me. Just keep an eye out and I am sure that there will be a few more thrown in. Sasuke and Naruto have always been cute to me. I threw in the protectively since Sasuke always had this "If you mess up it is on you" attitude towards him. If you don't really want to read the story though, which I kind of gathered from your posts that you don't really understand any of my explanations on any of it, Naruto yes is both male and female. I refer to him as a her because unless you look down his pants you wouldn't even think of them as one by his looks so why call him a male when the appearances makes others believe otherwise. I made this story more realistic so that there would be a more logical reason for Naruto being able to have a child. Not to appeal to you or those nay sayer's out there that keep on continuously knocking this story, and I will tell you or should I say ask you one thing. If you don't like the story then why the hell are you reading it? I'm not holding a gun to your head because if I was then I would be tempted to pull the trigger since it's getting ridiculous of all these people out here that does not even acknowledge the red "x" at the top page. It's there for a reason, so use it. I'm not angry at those who don't like it since there will be plenty that frown upon or just plainly won't read it. To us writers it's the luck of the draw, if you like it then great for us but if you don't then it's no sweat off of our backs. What irks us about those that don't is you go onto that story and use your illogical knowledge about stuff we have researched very hard to even get it to the way we see it in our heads, then open your gaping holes and talk crap about it when you don't realize exactly what the heck you're talking about. The simple thing about you is you go through a huge portion saying Naruto being a hermaphrodite is hot then when it gets further along you change your tone. I honestly get tired of that since it is something I deal with daily. This story cannot be counted as a Naruko story because of the fact that Naruto has a penis and Naruko never does. If you don't realize that issue then that is your problem and you might as well stop reading while you are ahead of yourself.

Sorry about the ranting, just irked me after seeing this in my inbox. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter and I will try to get another one out as soon as I can.

Chapter Thirty-One

Naruto stares at Tsunade at the table in the bar where they all meet up the next day. Everything has passed and Naruto now sports a necklace around her neck and she's pouting because she passed out while the fight is happening then is told Tsunade agreed to become the Fifth.

"The Fifth Hokage!?" Naruto shouts while looking at the elder woman. "So old-hag Tsunade's going to become the Gondaime Hokage starting today eh?" She pouts while crossing her arms.

"What are you irritated with, Naruto?" Jiraiya asks the girl with wide eyes.

"Because if you compare her to the Sandaime, she's rough, selfish, loose with money, easily pissed off, and stupid…" The girl says while counting on her fingers all of Tsunade's flaws. "Are you sure she can do it? I'm worried…" Naruto says with an unsure voice while Tsunade's eyes narrow with each flaw the girl states.

"Lady Tsunade…you wanna order something?" Shizune says while sheepishly looking at the older woman.

"Besides, isn't she a 50-year-old hag? She's faking her youth...Someone like the Hokage shouldn't deceive everyone like that…" Naruto says while poking her lip out.

"Is that why you decided to stop using the Genjutsu?" Jiraiya says quietly as Tsunade blows up on the girl.

"Let's take this outside, brat!" She shouts at the girl and Shizune winces back from the woman's anger.

'Same as the last time…' Jiraiya thought as he huffs out his breath and follows the two outside.

"Hmph, I'm Hokage no matter what you say…Don't need to be serious with a brat like you." She holds up a finger and looks at the girl. "This is all I need."

"Stop calling me a brat, dammit! I'll be Hokage someday, too!" Naruto shouts at the woman. Tsunade smirks at the girl which pisses her off. "Come on!" She shouts as she starts running towards the blond and throws a punch causing Tsunade to take her finger and hit the visor off of Naruto's forehead. She puts he finger in form to flick. 'One finger again!?' Naruto thought as her eyes widen. She flinches and waits for the blow until warmth touches her forehead and her eyes opened when Tsunade kisses it. She looks at the woman and Tsunade places a hand over her heart.

"Become a good woman…" She tells her and grins at the girl. 'And a respectable Hokage…'

"Roger!" Naruto shouts as she stares at the woman with rosy cheeks.

"Alright, let's head off to the village of the Leaf!" Jiraiya shouts.

"What! I haven't eaten yet!" Naruto shrieks. After they got the girl something to eat they grin as she runs and eats at the same time.

'Nawaki…Dan…There is someone here that has inherited your dreams…' Tsunade thought as she watches the girl run behind them. 'It's this girl!'

~3~

"This village has changed quite a bit while I was gone…" Tsunade says as she looks out over the village from the Hokage tower, right above her head shows the Hokage monument and she smiles. "Starting today, the village is my responsibility as…the Godaime Hokage."

"I am amazed you were able to persuade her…" One of the elders says.

"A handsome devil like myself only needs his charm to persuade anyone!" Jiraiya cackles out loudly.

'Humph…Who was the idiot who almost died from being poisoned?!' Naruto looks at him from the corner of her eyes.

"Well, then let's gather the local Lords and celebrate the inauguration of the Fifth Hokage. Genma, Aoba, announce this to the village." The female elder tells the two ninja's standing off to the side.

"Aye!" They agreed, bowing their head to her.

"Wait up! Tsunade has some stuff to take care of first." Naruto tells the two who immediately stood at attention when she holds her hand up to stop them. The male elder grit his teeth at the girl.

"Why should they listen to you, girl?" The male elder growls out at him.

"Silence, Homura." Koharu Utatane shouts at the man who she has known all of her life. "Lady Naruto has every right to order the clan's ninja since she is of two clans herself. This girl is basically royalty and you know it." She sternly tells the man who grits his teeth since Koharu is right. Tsunade turns to look at Jiraiya after she glares at Homura who shrinks back from her.

"Some people need to know their place." She says and the man slumps his shoulders. "Jiraiya, so who were they again?!"

"I already told you during the trip home! That brat Kakashi, Uchiha's kid, and Gai's student, Lee." Jiraiya looks at her with an exasperated expression on his face.

~3~

Shikamaru and his father stand watching Naruto and the rest walking down the stairs on their way to the hospital. "Hey! What's up Naruto? What are you doing here?"

"I was about to ask you the same thing! The only building around here is the Ninja Administration." Naruto says while she smiles at one of her close friends.

"Nothing really, just taking care of annoying business." He tells her with a smirk on his lips.

"Huh, what is it?" Naruto asked with a confused face.

"Er…How are you, Tsunade-sama, Jiraiya-sama." Shikaku, Shikamaru's father asks.

"Hey, aren't you from the Nara family? Who's that kid?" Tsunade wonders as she looks at the boy besides his father. "Are you taking care of your deer? Their antlers make good medicine."

"Yes, ma'am." Shikaku tells her.

"Who's that young woman with a big attitude?" Shika asks the girl in a low voice.

"She's the new Hokage. Oh, and although she looks young, she's really fifty!" Naruto tells him as she looks at him.

"Well, I'll see you later…" Tsunade tells them.

"Farewell, ma'am." Shikaku says smiling gently.

"Hey Shikamaru, let's meet up later, alright? I'll show you my cool new move! See ya!" Naruto says and Jiraiya grabs her by the back of the neck.

"Stupid Naruto! What kind of Shinobi shows off her Jutsu?" He growls at the girl and starts dragging her off.

"Ow!" She winces and looks at the two with a pout as Shika's dad chuckles.

"She doesn't change much does she?" He asks his son.

"Nah, she's getting bolder now though. From what I heard both of her clans are recognizing her and will be combining their lands so that she doesn't have to go all the long way from one to the other. Good thing that they are built right besides each other." Shika says as he enjoys watching the girl struggle out of her teachers grasp.

~3~

Sakura is sitting by Sasuke's bed wishing that he would wake up when the door opened up. "May I come in?" Tsunade loudly asks as she walks right in and stares at the girl.

"Who are you?" Sakura asks as she stares at the woman. 'She's beautiful…'

"Sakura, he'll be alright now!" Naruto grins at the girl as she jets out from behind the woman to rush to Sasuke's side and pick up his hand. "She's a great doctor!"

"Naruto!" She stares at the girl who is grinning now.

'Those two flowers…They're still fresh…Is she visiting every day?' Tsunade wonders as she stares at the blooms.

"I heard from Gai." Sakura turns and bows her head before the woman. "Please…please help Sasuke!"

"Alright! Leave it all to me!" Tsunade grins at the girl. She puts her healing hands on Sasuke's forehead as tears start dropping down the pink haired girls' cheek. "He'll wake up soon." Tsunade tells the girls and she stares at Naruto whose cheeks are blushing a little red as she stares at her boyfriend. Her head turns to Jiraiya and she cocks her eyebrow at him while motioning towards the blushing girl.

"They're a couple, Tsunade." Jiraiya smirks at her as he whispers.

"I thought pinky was?" She says as she motions to the other girl.

"She wishes." Jiraiya says as he looks at the pink haired girl who is now glaring at Naruto who is now holding Sasuke's hand to her bosom. Naruto drops his hand and walks over to the window waiting patiently for Tsunade to finish healing him. When Sasuke sits up after waking, Sakura flings herself at the boy, wrapping her arms around his neck. Making the boy's eyes narrow at her but no words came out of his mouth to tell her to let go.

"Sasuke…" Sakura starts crying.

"Sasuke…you…" Naruto glares at the boy who is now refusing to look at her in the eye. Her eyes tear up as it is clear to her that he is avoiding her gaze. She walks out of the room with tears flowing down her cheeks.

'Heh…Naruto's more sensitive than she looks…' Tsunade thinks as she smile sadly at the girl that she now has a bond with.

~3~

Naruto tearfully ran into Iruka Sensei who hugs her to his chest and lets her cry out her tears. He then takes her to Ichiraku's Ramen and buys her some lunch while he fills her in on what has been happening in the village since her and Jiraiya left. "Shikamaru's a Chuunin now!? Why!?"

"Didn't you hear what Lord Hokage said? Even if you lose a match, if you have enough skills you will become a Chuunin. Shikamaru fought the battles with intelligence…The village council rated him high and he was acknowledged." Iruka says after he swallows his food.

"What? Then what about Sasuke!?" She asks.

"The only one promoted was Shikamaru." He tells her and she sighs in relief. Naruto then begins telling Iruka all about the battle with Orochimaru.

"And and! I used my new ultimate move, the Rasengan, and it was awesome! All the bad guys went flying and I…" Iruka smiles gently while watching the girl excitedly tell him her story. Afterwards he waves the girl off, shaking his head at how energetic the girl was. 'I should go see how Sasuke's doing.' Naruto thought as she smiles while running towards the hospital. Naruto arrives at Sasuke's room and peeks around the curtain, noticing there are apple slices on the floor and an upset Sakura standing besides his bed. Sasuke notices her standing there and he glares deeply at her. "Wha…what?!" Naruto growls out at the boy with Kyuubi putting emphasis on her sub vocals, making her voice somewhat of a growl. Sakura's eyes widened when she hears this since she still has no knowledge of the Kyuubi inhabiting Naruto's body. She's also surprised at hearing and seeing the two acts this way to each other. "Why are you staring at me like that?" Sasuke looks down, while Sakura continues to look on in confusion.

"Hey…Naruto." Sasuke quietly says.

"Wha…what?" The girl asks looking at him.

"Fight me…now!" He demands sternly, and Sakura gasps out.

"Huh!? What are you babbling about…You're still recovering…" Naruto asks while looking at him with confused eyes.

"Shut up and fight me!" He grits out activating his Sharingan.

'Sasuke…!' Sakura stares at him wondering why the boy is even demanding this of Naruto. Naruto's eyes widens as she trying not to show her anger.

"You thought you helped me?" Sasuke asks with his head somewhat lowered. "That foolish Godaime or whoever…butting into other people's business."

"What!" Naruto growls out as Sasuke gets up from his hospital bed and gets right into her face. They both glare at each other.

"Sasuke, what's wrong with you!? Naruto, tell him to stop! I mean…aren't you boyfriend and girlfriend?" Sakura tries pleading with them.

"Well then...I was thinking about it too…" Naruto says while her gloss covered lips curl up and a smile as her eyes dance with glee, the irises surrounded by red.

"Hey…you two, cut it out! Ok?" Sakura says nervously.

"Come with me." Sasuke says as he jerks his head towards the door. He looks at his girlfriend with a hidden emotion in his Sharingan activated eyes. His chest hurt from having to do this but he knew that if he didn't calculate how strong she is he wouldn't be able to do what he has to to get stronger. To leave. Naruto lets loose a breath as her red ringed eyes never leave his form. As Sasuke walks around her he steps on one of the slices of apple still littered on the floor making Sakura wince as she notices how much the boy really thinks of her. The two leave Sasuke's hospital room and go upstairs to exit out onto the roof. Sakura gathers herself again and rushes off after them.

'This feeling…this excitement…this shivering…' Naruto's eyes are filled with joy as energy flows within her from the aspect of fighting her boyfriend. She laughs making Sasuke twitch and narrow his eyes at her.

"What's so funny!?" He growls at her.

"Funny? No. I'm overjoyed actually." The girl says as she smirks at him. "To think how I can finally beat you." Naruto states. Sasuke's eyes furrowed as he remembers what Itachi told him in the hotel and his resolve strengthens as he wants to be able to protect Naruto with everything in him.

"What did you say? Stop blabbering nonsense you loser!" Sasuke tells her.

"I'm no longer the loser you once knew me as. I've changed!" She tells him causing Sasuke's eyes to widen as there was no bluffing tone in her voice.

"You dimwitted idiot, what are you so full of yourself for, huh!?" He growls out at her.

"Eh, what are you losing your cool for? That's so unlike you." She tells him as she puts a hand on one of her shapely hips. "What?!...Are you afraid now that you challenged me to a fight, huh? Sasuke?"

"Shut up and fight!" Sasuke grits out while noticing the red ring in the girls' eyes as she steadily boosts her Chakra.

"Before we start, you better put on this leaf headband." Naruto suggests.

"I don't need something like that…" Sasuke tells her.

"Just do it!" Naruto shouts at him.

"You won't even lay a finger on me, let alone my forehead." Sasuke says as he cocks his thumb at his forehead.

"No! I'm saying this as a symbol that we fight as equal leaf ninjas!" Naruto says as she grabs a hold of hers. Sakura peeks out with worried filled eyes to watch the two.

"That's why I say you're full of yourself! You think you're on par with me!?" Sasuke shouts at her.

"Of course I do! In fact, I've never thought of myself as inferior to you…not even once!" She shouts at him. "What is with you and Neji believing that I don't come from clans like you two do? I come from both the house of Namekaze and from the Uzumaki main branch houses!"

"You're pissing me off!" Sasuke shouts as his eyes widen when he hears this from her. He then remembers the mysterious clan grounds and the new construction that is being done to the grounds. 'Is that why I never found out where Naruto lives? Those clan grounds don't even have a name plate like the others do. Oh, damn. I never thought they were a clan.' He said as he remembers that Naruto is the Yondaime's only child.

"That's because you're still weak, Sasuke-chan!" Naruto says taunting the boy.

"Naruto!" Sasuke grits out as this angers him thoroughly.

"Sasuke!" She shouts right back and they start running at each other. They caught each other's fists and Sasuke rises up his bare foot to kick Naruto in the face. Naruto seeing this jumps back and slides as she lands. She threw up signs, which causes Sasuke's eyes to widen and Sakura to wonder what the girl is doing. "Taijuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" When she completes the Jutsu a hundred clones popped up surrounding Sasuke, who looks on with wide eyes, Sasuke starts tumbling and kicking them. When he stands on his hands he knocks out two clones, then his eyes widen when he saw a group of Naruto's clones rushing him. They kicked him up into the air.

"U-zu-ma-ki!" Sasuke grits his teeth as he shields himself with his arms and looks down at the group of clones down on the roof. His eyes widen and he rapidly forms seals then turns to block another kick down on him. "Naruto-Rendan!" Sasuke forms the last seal and his cheeks puff out.

"Tora-no-in!" Naruto's eyes widen as she watches him release his Jutsu on her clones. "Katon! Goukakyu no Jutsu!" You could hear the groans from her clones on the roof. Sasuke's eyes widen as the fire starts spinning down below him. As the fire is blown away he saw the girl down below creating a wildly spinning orb of Chakra into her hand. 'Wha…what the…what is that Jutsu!?' He wonders with widened eyes. Naruto stares up at him as she grits her teeth. "Dammit!" He grits out as he forms the seals. "Chidori!"

"Stop…You two stop!" Sakura says as she watches her two teammates rush at each other with their newly learned Jutsu's. "Stooop!" She shouts.
