Hey guys, I've been getting a lot of requests to add a second girl, I originally only wanted to have a single girl pairing, but I will start a vote on the matter, some misunderstood when I said I would start voting, they thought I meant vote on the girl, I meant vote on whether or not there's even a second girl. The vote for whom the girl is, will take place in the next chapter, so review after the story and I will wait on the reviews, so I will wait to write the next chapter until I cast the votes, so without further ado.

Disclaimer: I own nothing except plot.

Naruto had woken up to the feeling of comfort. He had looked around to see himself in a large private room with a weapons rack and walk in closet, but beside from the bed and desk the room was plain aside from the tall mirror standing in the corner.

Naruto walked out the door dressed in his normal attire to see his Cohort waiting for him in the hall, as he walked to the front he says, "Good morning everyone, since today is my first day leading you, I am going to give you the day to train in any way you see fit while I prepare a new training Regime, as well as post new orders for monthly deliveries for new weapons in from the forge. Tomorrow be ready to train into the ground, wake up earlier than you usually would, sweat and bleed from the training. I will make sure that by the time we're done, you all will have the recognition from the Legion that has been lost."

The cohort saluted and began walking out. Only Hazel, and Frank remained, Hazel spoke up and said, "You know, you never treated me to dinner captain, so I think it's only fair you treat me to breakfast."

Naruto sighed but nodded nonetheless, Frank looked like he wanted to say something but was to nervous to say it.

Naruto noticed Frank and said, " Frank, I may be the new captain, but were still friends and comrades in arms, you don't need to be so formal with me, it makes me feel old."

Hazel chuckled at him and said, "Yeah Frank, why don't you join us? Naruto's buying anyway."

Naruto shot a glare towards her which she returned until he sighed in defeat and said, "Come on Frank, if there's one thing I've learned about women, is that if you them them mad, then you should expect to spend the day in the hospital trying to reposition your face."

Frank paled and soon followed them out towards an old fashioned diner which made Naruto sweat drop, "Are you sure this is where you want to eat Hazel? I may not have much but I can still pay for a decent meal."

Hazel glared at him, " Are you questioning my taste in food Mr Ramen for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?"

Naruto glared back, "Ramen is the food of the gods! Don't correct me about ambrosia or nectar."

Hazel smirked at him and said, " I'm surprised you haven't made a shrine to the ramen God yet."

Naruto froze causing Hazel and Frank to look at him, they saw a Cheshire grin and a glimmer in his eye, "Don't even think..."

That was as far as she got when Naruto bolted out the door leaving the two enough money for breakfast.

Hazel sighed before turning to Frank with a sad look on her face causing Frank to ask, "What's wrong Hazel?"

Hazel smiled at him and replied, "It's nothing"

Frank walked up to her and said, "We're friends Hazel, you can tell me."

Hazel sighed, "I've been trying to get Naruto to go out with me for a while now, I've even left subtle hints I want to be more than just friends, I don't know if he's to stupid to see them, or he's too nice a guy to say he isn't interested."

Frank smiled at her, "I'm betting on the first one."

Hazel giggled at the joke, " Yeah you're probably right, I may just need to come out and say it, from all the women chasing him he probably can't tell who wants to be his friend or who just wants to get in his pants."

They both blushed at the comment before the went and sat at a table to eat.

Naruto grumbled about not being allowed to build the shrine he wanted, they said it wasn't war like, they even said it wasn't Roman. (Kinda ironic the Romans shun the Greeks when they stole practically everything from them, from architecture to religion.)

Naruto seen Hazel standing outside the 5th cohort's barracks, so naruto decided to apologize for leaving her like that. " Hey Hazel sorry I left you and Frank back at the diner, I got a little "over excited"."

Hazel shook her head, "It's fine Naruto. But I want you to take me out."

Naruto sighed seemingly finishing her sentence, "To make it up to you."

Hazel giggled but shook her head no, "I want you to take me out on a date."

Naruto's eyes widen at her and ask, "Really? I haven't really been on a date before. I mean I took Reyna out, but we were just getting food after a spar."

Hazel smiled at him , "It's ok Naruto, I understand, but I would at least like to go and get something to eat with you, without you running off to build a shrine to your self placed ramen God."

Naruto chuckled nervously before saying, "I suppose, how does tonight at 6 sound?"

Hazel smiled and nodded before walking away to get ready.

When Hazel disappeared behind the door to get ready, Naruto grew panicked, he ran to a secluded spot and took a seat to enter his mindscape.

Upon entering the wide open meadow the seven tails, also known as chomei was already waiting for him.

Chomei looked down at Naruto and said, "Great idea coming to me for advice! Now, the first thing you should know is to not panic, if she really wants a date with you, then it's obvious that she doesn't want to know you sweat like saiken in summer when you're nervous."

Naruto wanted to be angry but hung his head in shame because he knew it was true, "How do I go about this? I've already taken Reyna out for dinner but I don't think she's too into me."

Chomei laughed slightly, " If only you knew,"

Naruto raised an eyebrow about to ask what she meant when kurama walked up, "Kit, Don't put much thought into it, It's a date, you may not see it as one, but you took Reyna on one and she enjoyed herself because you were honest with her, as well as kind, and supportive, you were being you. So go back, take a shower, get dressed and act the way you did when talking to Reyna, talk to her about stuff she likes or dislikes, her favorite food and dessert, what she does in her spare time, that sorta thing, and if she asks about you, then tell her what you feel comfortable with."

Naruto smiled at Kurama, "Thanks Fuzz But, I never took you for the romantic type, but you give great advice."

Kurama smirked, "There's a lot you don't know about me kit, but chomei was right about you needing to keep calm, you do tend to sweat a lot when you're nervous."

Naruto smiled at his partner and bowed to the other Bijuu before leaving, "so what else are you hiding from us Kurama? I thought we were family."

Kurama shot a glare at his siblings, "Shut up Shukaku, or I'll have chomei give you a bath."

Shukaku gasped in shock, "You wouldn't!"

Kurama smirked and looked towards chomei and nodded, chomei nodded back and shot a high pressure water cannon at Shukaku who was blasted into the lake screaming. "Now hold still Shukaku, this will only be unpleasant if you make it so."

Shukaku glared at chomei, "Easy for you to say your not made out of sand!"

Naruto had been listening to the Bijuu currently arguing in his subconscious while he tried hard not to burst out laughing at Shukaku's fate.

Naruto decided to head to the Barracks to get ready for his date.

After showering and dressing in his normal attire which no one could really blame him for wearing, considering it was the nicest clothes he had at the moment, Naruto had been about to knock on the door to the woman's dorm when it opened to reveal Hazel in a gray dress that she had been saving for her first official date with a smile on her face.

Naruto couldn't help but gawk at how different she looked without her centurion armor, the only word that he could think of to describe what he saw slipped from his mouth, "Beautiful"

Naruto hadn't realized he had said that aloud until he noticed the raging blush on Hazel's face.

Hazel recovered but still had a dust of pink when she returned his compliment, "You look handsome as always Naruto."

Naruto had a blush of his own before offering her his arm which she gladly locked with hers.

Naruto had led her to a place he had seen her glance at a couple times while they used to walk around. The place was called "The imperial lotus".

Naruto led her inside up to the reception counter, "Uzumaki reservation, table for two"

The lady at the reception counter skimmed through a book and looked back to him, "Here you are, allow me to take you to your seat."

The lady led the two through the crowded establishment to the back of the the building.

Once seated Hazel couldn't help but ask, "How did you manage to get in here!? Not only is it nearly impossible to book a reservation at this place, but you would need to be earning at least 30 drachma every week to be able to get in, not to mention how expensive the food is."

Naruto nervously chuckled at her, "I did a big job for the owner who didn't have enough on him at the time to pay me, so he said he would hold a reservation and charge me a big discount for the help he needed with the massive infestation of rats and snakes that somehow managed to get in their basement."

Hazel sighed with relief, she had thought he had robbed someone, "Well it's only the most expensive restaurant in New Rome, It is really a great place to come on a first date."

Hazel blushed as she looked away from him, "How old are you anyway Naruto?"

Naruto smiled at her, "I turned 18 before I arrived, although I legally became an adult when I left the academy as a genin when I was 13."

Hazel smiled, " So tell me, the elemental nations, what were they like?"

Naruto smiled, " It was beautiful, Nature was the supreme power in my world, my sage mode is weaker in this world due to the exceptional lack of Natural energy. But it wasn't always peaceful, as a matter of fact, most shinobi would be lucky if they only lived through one war. War was always a constant threat, no one trusted anyone, there were spies in the major villages almost all the time, but that all changed after the last war."

Hazel looked at him curiously, " What happened that made this war so different?"

Naruto looked down and subconsciously grabbed his chest where his heart was, which hazel picked up on, "The war was for me. As I said when we first met, the Bijuu were seen as weapons of war. Well one group of S-class criminals who called themselves Akatsuki, decided to use them as a means to reach a false peace, a world where no one died, where we could have everything we could ever want would have easily been ours."

Hazel smiled at the thought and commented, " It sounds like a dream come true."

Naruto looked up at her, "That's exactly what it was, a dream, a dream we couldn't wake up from, a dream where so many people I knew fought to make sure didn't happen. I lost so many friends in that bloody war, I saw their life leave their eyes while I could only watch as they died."

Hazel felt how hard it was for him to talk about so placed her hand on his on the table, "I can't say I understand the way you feel Naruto, because I'd be lying if I said I did, but just know that people are here to help you, you don't have to carry the burden alone."

Naruto smiled, " Thanks Hazel-chan, I needed that."

Hazel looked at him questioningly and asked, "Chan?"

Naruto blushed and realized what he said, again Hazel didn't miss a beat as she noticed his blush, " What was with the suffix Naruto, what does it mean?"

Naruto looked away with his blush deepening, about to respond but was saved by the waiter bringing them their food.

Hazel lost her train of thought and dug into the food with enough restraint to say she was eating normally.

After the two finished Naruto paid the bill and walk out with Hazel hugging his arm, " Thanks for the meal Naruto, I had fun tonight."

Naruto smirked down at her which caused her to raise a brow, "Who said our night was over? I still have one thing that my friends suggested, and I hope you like it."

Hazel looked at him curious as he led her out of the gates of New Rome and into the woods. Hazel's imagination started to wonder and come up with multiple reasons he could be bringing her so far out here, up until they reached the end of the protective barrier.

Naruto let go of her and walked forward only to turn to her with a smile, "Are you ready Hazel?"

Hazel wanted to panic because of the thought making her blush, but was silenced as Naruto started to glow, naruto was wrapped in a golden energy with the effect of a flaming cloak.

Hazel just stared at him mesmerized at the beautiful golden glow.

Naruto smiled at her, "I'm not finished yet."

Before she could ask what he meant Naruto started to stop glowing and she watched as his skin grew pale, and a black staff grew out of his palm.

Naruto looked at her with a smile, "This is my sage of six paths form, or Rikudo sennin mode."

Naruto let his staff disappear as he walked close to hazel and wrap her in a hug as he whispered into her ear, " It allows me to do this."

Naruto tightened his grip on hazel just enough for him to be confident she wouldn't fall, and shot upward getting a shriek of surprise from Hazel who wrapped her arms around him to make sure she didn't fall, but when she opened her eyes, she was captivated by the sight stretched out before her.

The lights of New Rome, flickering out one by one as the moon rose in over the ocean, the water rippling through the moon's reflection, the Senate house lit up with light, the stars visible above them, she looked to the person responsible for this amazing sensation and couldn't stop that tear of joy she knew streaked down her cheek, "It's beautiful"

He smiled at her, he then looked at the view himself only to be pulled back to look at Hazel, before he could question her, he was silenced by the pair of lips that locked onto his. His eyes widen in surprise at the warmth.

Hazel pulled back after a few moments of him staying their stiff, "Sorry, I jus..."

That was as far as she got as Naruto wrapped his left arm tighter around her while raising his right hand lifts her chin and plants a kiss on her lips, causing her to catch her breath, but eventually she relaxed into it while wrapping her arms around his neck to pull him in deeper.

The two just stay in put lost in the kiss until the needtobreathe won out and the separated with a gasp for air. Hazel places her hand on his whisker marks and rubs them, earning her a sound of what sounds like purring in the back of his throat causing her to throw her head back laughing.

Naruto flies them back to the Barracks without being seen and drops Rikudo sennin mode.

Hazel pecked his lips again saying, "Thank you for tonight Naruto, this is by far the best night I've ever had."

Naruto smiled and said, "you're welcome, I hope to go out again sometime."
