Chapter 14

Shukaku charged in with a mixture or rage and just for the hell of wanting to kill something. Shukaku closed the distance much quicker than one his size should then swiped with both of his paws several times failing to land a single hit.

Naruko easily ducked and dodge each swipe though was slowly being pushed back, edging towards the group of ninjas behind her. Shukaku getting annoyed stopped his relentless onslaught and prepared to fire a jutsu at point blank range.

"Fūton: Renkūdan," Shukaku called out before shooting a giant sphere of wind at Naruko.

Naruko seeing that she won't be able dodge in time, as Shukaku released the attack at point blank range, used her tails to cover her front and braced for the attack. The attack hit Naruko straight on and pushed Naruko back several metres forcing Kakashi and the rest to jump back to avoid being flatted by Naruko.

Looking through her tails that are still covering her Naruko saw Shukaku preparing to fire another one.

"Send one of your own, dodging it will put the others in line with attack," Kurama told Naruko while quickly sharing a memory with her on how to do the jutsu.

"Fūton: Renkūdan," both Naruko and Shukaku called before shooting out a giant sphere of wind.

The two attacks hit each other dead on creating a shock wave sending dust and sand everywhere. Kakashi and the group had to cover their eyes from the wind and sand that was sent flying towards them.

As soon as Naruko sent the jutsu flying she quickly dashed to her right and circled Shukaku so she could draw the fight away from the group. Shukaku saw Naruko emerging from the dust and was attempting to flank him.

Shukaku followed Naruko she stopped when she had circled so she was on his side. Reaching the flanking position Naruko sent another sphere of wind towards Shukaku. Shukaku sent one as well to cancel out the attack.

The two attacks hit each other dead on again making the area explode, once again sending dust and sand everywhere. Naruko emerged from the dust charging at Shukaku at a high speed. Shukaku sent multiple spheres at Naruko.

Naruko zigzagged between the almost continuous streams of attacks Shukaku was sending her way. When Naruko reached Shukaku she sent a left hook aimed at his face. Shukaku moved his head back just in time letting the punch sail in front of his face.

Shukaku raised his left paw before catching Naruko's arm and forcing it to the ground. Then he sent a right punch and hit Naruko straight in the face. Naruko followed the punch allowing it to turn her around.

Using the momentum of the punch from Shukaku Naruko span around and used a few of her tails to hit Shukaku across his face. The tails connected hard sending Shukaku skidding on his side away from Naruko.

Naruko skidded to a halt after skidding a few metres and got ready to charge Shukaku again.

"This fight… this fight is on a whole new level," Sasuke said with wide eyes after watching the exchange between Naruko and Shukaku.

"No human can fight like this," Sakura said not seeing how any human can go toe to toe against this.

"Only a few have been able to. The Sandaime in his prime being one of them," Kakashi said staring expressionless at the fight.

'Kurama how do we get Shukaku back into the seal?" Naruko asked not wanting to fight to long as it will no doubt start to heat up and destroy the area.

'By making him, he needs to learn who the boss around here is,' Kurama replied.

'That's fine and all but we need to do it quickly this battle will level up and put the others at risk,' Naruko said not wanting her friends to end up as collateral damage.

'I have a better idea,' Minato called out.

'Father?' Naruko asked partly forgetting that he was there.

'You forgot about me already how sad…' Minato said crawling into a ball acting all depressed that he had been forgotten.

Both Naruko and Kurama sweat dropped at this before getting him to tell them his plan.

'If you look closely you will see Gaara on top on Shukaku's head. All you need to do is hit him awake and Shukaku will be forced to retreat back into the seal,' Minato explained while Kurama shook his head while calling himself an idiot.

Naruko smirked as she knew what needed to be done. With her plan Naruko charged Shukaku as soon as she had her eyes on where Gaara was located on top of Shukaku's head. Naruko once again had to zigzag past the volley of attacks Shukaku was sending her way.

Naruko sent one herself a few times to cancel a few of the attacks that she couldn't dodge. Naruko took a fair bit longer to reach Shukaku due to him sending a lot more attacks and more precise. Though Naruko did eventual get in close, close enough to land a few strikes.

As soon as Naruko got close Shukaku shot an attack at point blank range again. Naruko reacting quickly enough this time sent a diagonal right uppercut hitting Shukaku sstraight in the jaw and diverting the attack just passed her head and up into the sky.

Naruko followed through with the uppercut lifting Shukaku so he was standing on two legs. At the same time Naruko wrapped a tail around each of Shukaku's back legs and pulled them out from under him.

As Shukaku was falling backwards Naruko used her the rest of her tails to wrap and pull apart Shukaku's front legs. Naruko used her paws to shove Shukaku's head down on to the ground hard and pinning his head down to the side before looking straight into his eye with a hard dominate glare.

"You will not torment this child again or you will have me to deal with. Do try to get along because you aren't going anywhere anytime soon," Naruko said a dual voice with a growl making Shukaku nod submissively.

Naruko used the tip of one of her tails to slap Gaara across the face waking him up. Naruko's tails released Shukaku's limbs and sat down on her hind legs. Shukaku was forced back into the seal when Gaara woke up causing his Bijū form to dissolve back into sand.

Gaara slowly stood up while holding and shaking his head trying to clear the fog clouding his mind. Once Gaara stood up and cleared his mind he saw a giant orange red fox sitting in front of him. Naruko looked down at Gaara with a reassuring smile and look in her eyes.

"Who are you? What happened?" Gaara asked the last thing he remembered was a searing pain in his head before everything went black.

"You won't recognise me like this but I am Naruko and I am just like you. As to what happened Shukaku was released and I forced him back. He shouldn't be bothering you anymore," Naruko replied.

Gaara's eyes went wide slightly before returning to normal.

"You're that strange girl? Just like you?" Gaara asked in an emotionless tone.

"Yes I am that girl and I'm strange," Naruko said with a tick mark on her head.

"You know what I mean when I say I am like you," Naruko said in a calm tone this time.

Gaara saw his siblings appear from behind Naruko along with Kakashi and his team.

"Gaara!" Temari cried running to Gaara and hugging him with all her might. Kankuro also ran to Gaara and placed a hand on his shoulder.

What surprised Gaara the most was that his sand didn't react like it normally did. This was the first time he had been hugged by anyone as everyone was attacked by sand when they got to close including his family.

"Does that mean you are a…?" Gaara asked but not finishing his sentence.

"Yes I am a Jinchūriki," Naruko finished Gaara's sentence.

Sasuke and Sakura would have asked about it but they would wait for the right time before bringing it up.

"I can see the doubt and disbelief in your eyes. Though I am now friends with him and have friends it wasn't always like this. I was alone left to fend myself for the first five years. I am still hated by my village only a few accept me for me," Naruko said.

"How did you do it? What gives you the strength? Why is it that you have someone where I am alone?" Gaara asked.

"I never gave up I always believed that I would find a friend. It's the love I have for my friends. Someone once told me not to long ago that only when it's for the ones you care about that you're true strength show," Naruko answered while Gaara looked down at the ground.

"Gaara you are not alone. You have me and most importantly the closest people to you are the ones in front of you. Cherish them and protect them with your life," Naruko said looking at Temari and Kankuro.

Gaara looked between Kankurō and Temari who stopped hugging him. Gaara saw the sincere smile on Temari and Kankurō.

"You were never alone Gaara, we were always there for you no matter what, we will always love you," Temari said hugging Gaara again before pulling away when she finished speaking.

"Love?" Gaara asked.

Temari nodded knowing that it wasn't a word Gaara would hear often and that it was never towards him. Gaara looked up to Naruko who also nodded her head. Gaara looked down and saw Naruko holding out a fist in front of him.

Gaara looked back up to Naruko before looking back down again at the fist. Gaara made a fist and lightly placing against Naruko's fist. Gaara's eyes went wide before going back to normal and giving a small smile.

In a flash of flame like chakra Naruko returned back into her human form her fist still connected to Gaara. All eyes went wide for a few seconds at Naruko turning back.

"Holy shit that's cool," Kankurō commented to himself.

Naruko suddenly took several sniffs before turning her head to face a random direction and sniffing a few times again.

"Kakashi-sensei I can smell the Kazekage and it's not the strange smell that Oroch-something had," Naruko said pointing in a direction.

"I can smell death as well and about six no seven different scents. What should I do," Naruko asked after giving out more information.

"He might still be alive. You go investigate and we will meet you in Konoha," Kakashi said.

Naruko made a bunshin which turned into an eagle and quickly flying off in the direction of where the Kazekage was.

"Naruko full speed, and I mean full speed. We should arrive in Konoha in two days. When you find him don't stop just head for Konoha," Kakashi said Naruko nodded.

When Kakashi said full speed Naruko quickly removed all of her weights and was done by the time Kakashi had finished talking. After nodding Naruko turned towards the Kazekage's direction before turning into a fox and bolting of at top speed.

The only thing everyone else saw was dust after Naruko nodded. When the dust cleared there was no trace of Naruko not even the trail of dust that should be left behind from her running. Everyone expect Kakashi went wide eyed at the disappearance of Naruko.

"Holy shit! How fast is she?" Kankuro shouted slightly.

"She is one of the fastest people in our village," Kakashi said while the group headed for Konoha.


-With Naruko-

Naruko reached where the Kazekage was in a matter of seconds. There were seven bodies in total all at the bottom of a canyon. The smell coming from the canyon was enough to almost make Naruko empty her stomach.

The memories she got from the eagle she sent earlier told her that no one else was around, at least above ground. Naruko could hear a faint heartbeat and followed it to the source. Naruko found the Kazekage sitting up against the canyon wall barely awake and breathing.

Naruko saw a lot of blood underneath him and on his clothes. Naruko rushed to his side after changing into her human form.

"W-W-Who i-i-is t-ther…"

"Shhhhh, it's me Naruko. Don't speak you need to save your strength. I will get you to Konoha as soon as I can," Naruko said quickly before changing into a fox and using a tail to pick him up gently on to her back and secure him here with a few tails.

The Kazekage had passed out after Naruko had picked him up. Naruko jumped out the canyon before bolting to Konoha as fast as she can. Naruko had ran for a full day straight and only after nineteen hours did she slow down until she was running at about 75% of her top speed.

Her training had really paid off she was barely tired from running even after fighting Shukaku. Just before she reached the gates of Konoha she turned into her human form and the Kazekage on her back for the rest of the trip which took a few minutes.

When she got the entrance she left a bunshin to explain what happened to the guards before rushing off to the hospital. The sun was barely up when she arrived at Konoha and there were only a few people waking, including the two green spandex weirdoes Naruko sees almost every morning.

Naruko releases a strong burst of her chakra hoping she can get the Hokage's attention. After a few blocks she releases another burst and repeats after another few blocks. This will hopefully really get the Hokage's attention and show him where she is going.

This no doubts get the attention of several other ninja's around. When she arrives she sees two ANBU land in front of the hospital along with the Hokage. Along the way there she notices a few other ninja's landing on the roofs around checking out what was going on after feeling several strong chakra bursts.

Seeing someone on Naruko's back the Hokage directed her to an emergence room while calling for the best medics in the village to report to him. After getting the Kazekage into care of the medics Naruko and the Hokage waited outside the emergence room for any news.

"Naruko what happened and where is the rest of your team?" the Hokage asked in a serious but caring tone.

"Orochimaru. I don't know what happened to the Kazekage other than that he may have been ambushed. I don't when or how it happened as for the first hour of the trip back the Kazekage was with us,"

"Suddenly he injected Gaara with something and the Kazekage peeled his face off, that's when Kakashi-sensei said that he was Orochimaru. After a few problems I found the real Kazekage and brought him here,"

"As for the rest of my team and the team from Suna they will be here later this afternoon sometime," Naruko told the Hokage what happened.

As soon as the Hokage heard that name his eyes went wide before he shook his head and released a long sigh of disappointment.

"I see. I will get the full report when they return, and see what happens from there," the Hokage said after hearing Naruko's debriefing.

"Jiji I have some things to say but it can wait till later, half of it will be said during the report," Naruko said wanting to speak with him later.

The Hokage nodded and wondered slightly what it could be as Naruko said it in a serious voice that she doesn't rarely use. An hour later the light above the door switched off signalling that they were finished. A single female doctor walked out the room making the Hokage and Naruko stand up.

"He is very lucky an hour later and I'm sure we wouldn't make it, otherwise he is fine and stable he just needs rest and should wake up around tomorrow sometime," the doctor said bring a breath of relief from Naruko and the Hokage.

"Though with the damage he sustained to his lower spine, he may never walk again," the doctor said a bit sadly.

"Is it that bad?" the Hokage asked.

"Yes his entire pelvis was crushed, his spine has multiple fractures and were dislocated in a few places. We did what we could but his walking days are no doubt over," the doctor explained further.

"I see, after the coming chūnin exams we will have to find Tsunade-hime and see if she can do anything. For now I want him guarded twenty four seven," the Hokage said before leaving with Naruko following behind him leaving two ANBU guards to protect the Kazekage.

"Tsunade-hime who is that?" Naruko asked.

"One of the legendary Sannin, like Orochimaru but nowhere near as evil," the Hokage answered as they left the hospital.

"Sannin? I heard Kakashi-sensei say that," Naruko asked.

"They used to be my students when they were genin. During the Second Shinobi War they earned the name Konoha no Densetsu no Sannin. They became renowned heroes for ending the Second War," the Hokage explained.

"But why would Orochimaru do something like this?" Naruko asked

"Power, immortality and loss of life can change a person. In his search for this he lost his way in his research," the Hokage said in a sad pained voice.

Hearing his tone and she chose not to press on as she knows that it might bring up some unwanted memories.


-Later that afternoon near sundown-

Naruko had quickly reported to the Hokage's office after being told that Kakashi had returned along with the team from Suna. Naruko arrived just in time to see Kakashi walking into the Hokage's office.

"Naruko just in time," Kakashi said seeing Naruko arrive and walk in with him.

For the next hour everyone told the Hokage what happened from the start of the mission right till the end. The Hokage was told everything from the training to Naruko's date of becoming human during the new moon to her turning back the next day.

They also said that Orochimaru attacked right after Naruko changed back into a hanyou. As well as that Gaara is the container of Shukaku and the battle that took place between Naruko and Shukaku. Naruko then filled in the part of her finding the Kazekage in more detail.

"So you turned into the Kyūbi and it wasn't your shape-shifting ability," the Hokage asked after hearing that Naruko turned into Kyūbi to fight Shukaku.

"Yes I did…" Naruko said looking like she wanted to say something else.

"I see. I can see you want to say something and I take it you have a reason for holding back," the Hokage said seeing Naruko starting to get a bit nervous and is holding back something.

"Sorry guys but jiji can this next bit please be in private Kakashi can stay but the rest…" Naruko said looking at her teammates who nodded understanding thought the Suna trio were a little confused but didn't press on.

The Hokage nodded and everyone expect Kakashi and Naruko left the office. The Hokage took a seat before taking a puff from his pipe and exhaling smoke from his mouth with a sigh.

"So what is it that you want to say?" the Hokage asked looking at Naruko, while Kakashi was also looking at Naruko.

"I guess it's best I show you," Naruko while bring a hand up and made a half Tora hand seal making a single kage bunshin making both Kakashi and the Hokage raise an eye brow.

The bunshin slowly started to shape-shift starting from the bottom and working its way up. When the transformation was complete Kakashi's single eye went very wide and froze. The Hokage's pipe dropped from his mouth while he froze as well and stared with wide eyes at the person in front of him.

Next to Naruko stood the Yondaime Hokage with a smile on his face. He turned his head and smiled when he saw Kakashi.

"You have grown in to a fine man Kakashi," Minato said before turning to look at the Hokage.

"Well it seems like you've taken back the seat, guess Jiraiya was true to his word when he said he wouldn't became Hokage," Minato said with a chuckle.

"Yondaime/Sensei" the Hokage and Kakashi said that the same time, Naruko heard Kakashi say sensei and made a mental note to ask about this later.

"How?" the Hokage asked not knowing how this was possible.

"When I sealed Kyūbi in Naruko I created a failsafe should she ever try to open the seal. I sealed a part of my soul along with Kyūbi's inside Naruko," Minato explained.

"As to how I am here is Naruko's doing. Her chakra is what's keeping me here," Minato explained further.

"Even so I can't stay here forever, even with her chakra I can only stay here for two months max," Minato said sadly.

"I understand but it's still great to see you again even if it's the last time," the Hokage said and Minato nodded in return.

"Kakashi I deeply thank you for looking after my daughter. You are more precious to her than you realise. She sees you as a brother a precious brother so protect her like any older brother would protect her little sister. Be the brother she always wanted. Be the brother she needs you to be," Minato said softly when he was standing in front of Kakashi with a hand on his shoulder.

"It's the least I can do. I won't fail you like I failed them. It goes without saying, I will always be there and will also be a brother to her," Kakashi said in a rare happy tone.

"Kakashi-nii…" Naruko said softly with a smile.

"Kakashi you need to let go of the past. It wasn't your fault so don't be hard on yourself. Remember them and they will forever be in your heart. Its time you looked to the future, time to guide the new generation and pass on the Hi no Ishi," Minato said to Kakashi while looking to Naruko at the end.

"It's great to see you again sensei but please excuse me I need to get some fresh air," Kakashi said with a bow before walking out the room.

"He still hasn't moved on but in time I'm sure he will," Minato sighed while patting Naruko's head gentle and the Hokage sighed himself hoping that Minato was right.

"How long is it until the chūnin exams?" Minato asked.

"Five days," the Hokage answered.

"Well Naruko tomorrow your training starts," Minato said with a grin making Naruko grinned as well.

Minato dissipated into smoke while Naruko headed out to find Kakashi to ask him a question that's been on her mind since Naho. Naruko had to follow his scent as he wasn't home.

-Near training ground 7, memorial stone-

Naruko followed Kakashi's scent which lead her out the village. Naruko was wondering what Kakashi was doing all the way out here. Naruko saw that the sun had at most a few minutes before it disappeared behind the horizon.

Landing on a branch looking over a small clearing in the forest Naruko saw Kakashi standing in front of the memorial stone. Naruko could sense Kakashi's state from where she was. Naruko landed and walked until she stood next to him.

The two remained in silence for a while until Naruko broke the silence.

"Kakashi-nii is this why you were late all those times?" Naruko asked as she could tell by smell that he come here often.

"It's the main reason yes," Kakashi replied.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Naruko asked hoping she can help sometime.

"No not really but in time if you still wish I shall tell you my story," Kakashi said not wanting to talk about his past just yet.

"Only tell me because to want to, not because you feel that you must, promise me that at least," Naruko said shaking her head, as she did not want to force this on Kakashi.

"It's a promise," Kakashi said with small smile.

"Kakashi-nii I have been wanting to ask you something for some time but haven't had the chance," Naruko said softly.

"Hmmm?" Kakashi hummed out.

"Can I move back in with you? I feel quite lonely without Naho. And it's way too quiet for me," Naruko asked before giving her reason softly missing the joy of going home and someone there to be with you.

"You are always welcome. I never quite knew why you moved back in the first place," Kakashi replied looking at Naruko with an eye smile.

"Well I… seems quite the stupid reason now, well I guess I will get settled in tomorrow. Though you don't mind me crashing in for the night?" Naruko chuckled at first before asking with a soft smile.

"You better, never really wanted you to live on your own in the first place but a certain group of people forced our hands. To say that the Hokage and I were unimpressed is putting it lightly," Kakashi said deciding to give her little choice in the matter.

"Thank you," Naruko thanked softly while Kakashi gave her an eye smile.

The next day Naruko spent the morning moving her things to Kakashi's house and tried to sell her apartment that the Hokage got for her but of course being who she was it might take a while before someone is brave enough to buy the apartment.

Kakashi said that Team Seven can have the day off to rest before they started training the next day. Sasuke and Naruko being Sasuke and Naruko trained anyway they were even surprised when Sakura showed up and joined them for training at their usual training spot.

During that train Naruko made due on her promise and taught Sakura how to land without a sound. Naruko had Sakura train her flexibility by doing all kinds of stretches for a longer period of time than normal.

Naruko often had Sakura stretching in rather awkward positions and some rather suggestive positions making Sakura blush and wonder if Naruko was trying to pull something every now and then. Naruko said that this will take time and lots of training.

Naruko told Sakura to do these stretches before and after she trained and that she should run every morning first thing in the morning and that running during training doesn't count. During the afternoon Naruko spent time being trained by her dad.

Naruko was given a set of books on fūin jutsu that she was told to study. During the training Naruko learned how to do the shunshin no jutsu. Thanks to her bunshins Naruko was also trained with Kurama and learning how to better control her Bijū form.

Kurama and Naruko worked on how to control the different forms that she can use. She was told that there were three forms in total. Naruko mostly trained on how to summon and control separate limbs without going into full Bijū mode.

The next day the Kazekage woke up being a relief to his children, Naruko and the Hokage. The Kazekage said that the Orochimaru intend to use his village to aid Otogakure in attacking Konoha during the final stage of the chūnin exams with Gaara being the trigger.

The Hokage ordered a council meeting in which he informed them or the incoming invasion. The ninja's currently out on mission where told to finish their mission ASAP and return to Konoha. The Hokage along with Shikaku and Ibiki made plans and preparations for the incoming invasion.

The next two days Team Seven trained hard for the upcoming chūnin exams. Instead of doing her lightning seishitsu henka training Naruko worked on controlling her Bijū form. Naruko took a step further and managed to change any part of her body into Kurama at will before she started working on something else in private from her team during the afternoon.

At the end of the second day Kakashi told them that they are not to train at all for the last two days especially the second day as that's when the chūnin exam starts. This was aimed at Naruko and Sasuke as he knew that they would want to train. To make sure Kakashi confiscated their weights.


-End of the second day, two days left till exams-

"Hey Naru-chan wait up," Sasuke said running to catch up with Naruko.

"Hey Sasuke-kun what's up?" Naruko asked stopping and turning towards the incoming Uchiha.

"So would you like to go on a date with me tomorrow?" Sasuke asked with a smile.

"Y-yes sure I would love to," Naruko accepted happily with a small blush.

"Great I shall pick you up tomorrow morning at nine," Sasuke said setting the time.

"Nine? So it's a date, and Sasuke I live at Kakashi-nii's house now," Naruko said letting him know she has moved.

"That explains why your apartment was empty," Sasuke said remembering that he waited for Naruko this morning and found that her apartment was abandoned.

"So I will see you tomorrow at nine," Sasuke said before running off somewhere.

Naruko walked home with a smile on her face, she was really looking forward for tomorrow. When she got home she saw Kakashi sitting on the couch reading but for once not his orange prevented book. Instead he had a few scrolls lying around him while reading the one that was in his hand.

Kakashi was sitting on the floor against the couch. Naruko took of her sandals before she entered the house leaving her barefoot and walked to the couch Kakashi was sitting against. Naruko softly sat down on the couch crossing her legs and looked over Kakashi's shoulder to see what he was doing.

"Kakashi-nii what you reading this time round?" Naruko asked.

"Just studying a few things here and there. Also trying to find more stuff to teach you lot. It's not easy when you learn everything in a few months instead a year that it's supposed to take," Kakashi said and ended with a grumble.

"We are just that awesome, though I hope you have some things for Sakura more so than us," Naruko said knowing that Sakura feels like she is falling behind.

"It's no wonder she feels like she is being left behind. She is very talented and has the best chakra control I have seen since Tsunade-hime but her lack of chakra makes her feel like she is up against titans when she compares herself to you and Sasuke," Kakashi said.

"Though thanks to you she doesn't feel as intimated and wants to do her best to try and catch up," Kakashi said while turning to look at Naruko who was sitting behind him on the couch.

"I did what I could to help, I have been helping where I can," Naruko said with a smile back to Kakashi.

"So when is the date?" Kakashi asked with a grin and an eye smile.

"H-H-How do you know?" Naruko asked stuttering a small blush.

"I didn't not know until you walked in, it's written all over your face," Kakashi said chuckling a bit.

"Is it really that obvious?" Naruko asked feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Well it's obvious that something has got you rather happy. So when is the date?" Kakashi said before repeating his question.

"T-tomorrow at nine," Naruko said turning away from Kakashi slightly.

"That's rather late don't you think? Just don't get to anything to naughty," Kakashi said before grinning at the end.

"NII-SAN! PERVERT!" Naruko shouted blushing hard hiding her head in her knees.

"And it's in the morning," Naruko said softly still hiding her face.

"Well, have fun and hope it goes well," Kakashi said standing up.

"Well goodnight Naru-chan Im off. Just try to keep you voice down tonight I am rather tired and wish to sleep," Kakashi said walking out the room.

Naruko's face went a deep shade of red before throwing a pillow at Kakashi and hiding her face again feeling every embarrassed. Kakashi ducked under the flying pillow noting that it might of hurt if it actual hit him. Kakashi quickly disappeared into his room not wanting to know what happens next.

-Next morning-

Naruko was a bit too excited to sleep but still managed to get a good night's rest. Naruko had woken up early and took a long warm bath before freaking out a bit not knowing what she should dress into.

Hoping that it was like the last time Naruko put on her normal clothes but without her vest and weights thanks to Kakashi taking them from her in order to stop her from training. Naruko also decided to keep her hair down like she did for the last date.

Naruko sat nervously in silence on the couch and waited for Sasuke to arrive. Half an hour later the long awaited knock finally come. Naruko walked to the door and opened it with a big smile on her face.

"Morning Naru-chan," Sasuke greeted happily.

"Sasuke-kun," Naruko replied happily.

"Shall we get going, there is quite a bit to do," Sasuke said holding out his arm.

Naruko gladly linked her arm Sasuke and walked with him every excited for her date. The two walked around the village between the different stores before coming to a stop at a clothing shop. Naruko saw the rather fancy clothing in the store and turn to Sasuke in confusion.

"We need to get you something formal for the reservation I booked for lunch," Sasuke said while walking into the shop.

Sasuke felt Naruko's nervousness of walking into the shop. So he pulled her closer to him to reassure her.

"You don't have to worry I made sure to find a place that you could go to without any hassle," Sasuke said which calmed Naruko down.

Naruko really took it to heart when Sasuke said he took the effort to find a place knowing her problem she has with most of the shops.

"Good morning how may I help you?" A woman asked from behind the counter.

Naruko looked at her and saw that she really didn't have the same look the rest gave her which brought a small happy smile to her face.

"Could you please help her find something for the lunch we have at Riverside lodge," Sasuke asked.

"Oh my, that's quite the place you are going to. I'll make sure she has something for the occasion," the woman said before guiding Naruko to a section in the store with all kinds of kimonos, dress and all other things Naruko had never seen before.

Sasuke shouted he would be back in about ten minutes before leaving the store. An hour later after settling on a dress Naruko liked and changed into after Sasuke had insisted on buying it for her.

When Naruko walked out the changing room Sasuke silently gasped with a deep blush on his face. Naruko also had a blush on her face seeing Sasuke in a black tuxedo.

"Wow…" Sasuke said speechless.

Naruko has her hair down and is wearing a black strapless dress. The dress hugged her body well showing off her great figure and curves. The dress also did little to hide her well-endowed breasts and showing off a decent amount of cleavage.

The dress was a slightly fitting around her legs that reached her ankles. It was still tight enough that you could still see the shape of her legs every so often as the dress waves a bit round her legs. Naruko is also wearing black gloves that reach to the middle of her biceps and a pair of not so high, high heels.

"You're really beautiful," Sasuke said softly admiring Naruko's beauty.

"Thank you, you're rather handsome yourself," Naruko thanked with a blush before returning a compliment of her own.

Sasuke blushed before hold out his arm again to which Naruko gladly link her arm around. The two walked out the shop and made their way and arrived in time for their reservation. Naruko gasped at the place they were at.

"We are having lunch here?" Naruko asked.

"This is like the best place in Konoha," Naruko said knowing from all the talks and rumours she has heard that this is the best restaurant around.

"Yep we are, hope you enjoy it here," Sasuke said while waking into the restaurant with Naruko.

The two ate a very tasty meal while taking about the upcoming chūnin exams and what they think they will be tested on and how. During the desert they shifted the topic to about themselves and talking about a few of the mission they have been on.

After lunch Sasuke took Naruko to a movie, it was the new movie of Kazahana Koyuki. Both Sasuke and Naruko enjoyed the movie but laughed a few times at the badly done ninjutsus they used.

After the movie they both walked to and around the park talking, laughing and enjoy each other's company for some time and realised that it is almost sunset.

"Wow it's almost sunset. Time really does fly when you are having fun," Sasuke said looking at the slowly forming orange horizon.

"Hey Sasuke follow me I want to show you something," Naruko said before leading Sasuke somewhere.


-Top of the Hokage Monument-

After a while they were at the top of the Hokage monument overlooking the village. Sasuke gasped at the view. Naruko smiled before letting go of his arm and jumping down the monument and landing on top of head of the Yondaime Hokage.

A bit surprised by the jump Sasuke soon followed Naruko and jumped down landing next to her. Naruko sat down hugging her knees and staring into the view. Sasuke sat next to her and really took in the view.

Sasuke looked over the village with the sun setting in front of the village in line with the main entrance. They sky was a mix of orange and red with light peeking through the forest that is in front of the village.

"I never knew about this place," Sasuke said really finding the view beautiful.

"It's amazing," Sasuke continued.

"It is amazing. I found this spot a long time ago shortly after I was kicked out the orphanage. I've been coming here every night ever since," Naruko said agreeing before saying how she found the spot.

"I often come here when I need to escape," Naruko said with a small smile.

"Naruko I don't wa…" Sasuke started to say feeling like he should invade this spot of hers.

"No please I want to share it with you, it's the one place I feel safe and at peace," Naruko said using a tail to stop Sasuke from leaving.

Sasuke sat back while Naruko wrapped a few tails around his waist.

"I… Thank you for sharing this with me," Sasuke thanked before shifting a bit so he could looking into Naruko's eyes.

Naruko looked back into his eyes earning a small blush on her face.

"It must have been quite the decision to share this, to place your trust in me like this. I…" Sasuke said softly really happy that Naruko was willing to share a place like this with him.

"Hmmmph," Naruko hummed shaking her head.

"I wanted to, it really wasn't hard for me to decide, something just told me to," Naruko replied softly with a smile.

Naruko blushed deepened seeing Sasuke's face so close to her and then it happened. They both leaned forward their lips meeting half way while Sasuke brought his hand and gently placed it on her cheek. Naruko felt like she could melt as the kiss deepened full of passion.

Naruko melted into the kiss wrapping her arms around Sasuke's neck. Her tails wrapped around Sasuke trying to pull him closer. Sasuke melted and settled into the tails wrapping all around his body.

Sasuke brought up his other hand and placed it on her other cheek cupping her face gently while enjoy the feel of her soft warm lips. They both felt themselves heat up enjoying the warm of their bodies pressing against each other.

Eventual they were forced to pull back ending the kiss to get a breath of air. They had no idea how long they kissed for only that they enjoyed every second of it. Naruko's face was hot and flushed from the breath taking kiss.

Naruko remained dazed for a few seconds before coming back to her senses. Sasuke's eyes remained closed praying that when he opened them that it wasn't all a dream. He finally opened his eyes and looked straight into the eyes of Naruko.

Sasuke released a breath that he was holding happy that it was all real. He could still feel Naruko's tails around him holding him scared that he might leave her. Sasuke smiled bringing her head closer to his reassuring that he is here to stay.

Naruko felt her heart skip a beat when he smiled and his eyes full of passion, warmth and life. She returned a smile full of emotion. Hoping for the best Naruko went in for another kiss pushing Sasuke over a bit.

Sasuke was a bit surprised kiss but quickly returned it while letting Naruko push him back so he was lying his back on the monument with Naruko on top of him. Sasuke used his tongue and ran it across her lips a few times.

Naruko opened her mouth and allowed his tongue to explore her mouth and tongue. Naruko released a cute soft moan at the pleasure. Not wanting to be out done Naruko wrestled with Sasuke's tongue and won allowing her to explore his mouth.

They both moaned while releasing the kiss for another breath of air.

"Wow…" Naruko moaned out short of breath.

"That was…" Naruko started to say.

"Amazing" Sasuke finished the sentence for her.

Naruko smiled while cuddling into his chest and her tails now wrapping around both of them. Sasuke held her closely enjoying the warmth of her body. They both remained like that for a long while, enjoying the company and closeness.

Sadly it come to an end when Naruko started to fall asleep. Sasuke gently stopped her from sleeping.

"We should get going," Sasuke said sitting up while Naruko remained against his chest not wanting to move yet.

Sasuke smiled before rubbing her head gently. Hearing her purr Sasuke let her stay like that a bit longer. Within minutes Naruko fell asleep with a bright smile on her face. Sasuke gently and slowly picked her up trying not to wake her up.

Sasuke carried her holding her close to him and jumped down the monument and took her home. Sasuke walked at a slow pace wanting to draw out the moment as long as possible. Sadly he reached the door to Kakashi's house.

Sasuke gently woke her up before letting her down on her feet. Naruko kept her arms around his neck and tails around him. Naruko leaned in and give him another long kiss before pulling back for air.

"Thank you Sasuke-kun. I couldn't have asked for better time," Naruko said softly while resting her head on his chest.

"I wouldn't have it any other way," Sasuke said softly while wrapping his arms around her waist.

"So are we officially or do you still want some more time," Sasuke asked.

"The only thing I need more time of, is time with you. And yes we are official definitely official," Naruko replied.

"Well you better get used to spending time with me because I am not letting you go," Sasuke said releasing the hug.

"I can definitely get used to it," Naruko said with a playful grin.

"Good night Sasuke-kun," Naruko greeted giving him short kiss.

"Night Naru-chan," ask said giving Naruko a quick peck on her lips.

Naruko released Sasuke from her tails and walked into her house before closing the door and resting her back on the door holding her urge to squeal like a school girl. Naruko went to bed with the biggest smile on her face feeling the happiest she has ever been.


Chapter 14.

That was a long chapter. Many things happened here and Naruko got her first kiss.

Wow a lot of reviews thanks everyone.


Now for the poll. If I add the reviews into the results Sasuke wins hands down followed by Hinata than Ino. So the main pairing will be NaruSasu.

So now the next question is harem or no harem. If it is a harem it would be considered as Sasuke's harem. So depending on the responses is whether or not it will be a harem or not.
