Chapter 4: Experimental (I don't know if I should keep it. Its an unfinished chapter. I might totally scrap it. Its just an idea. Its funny but I'm not sure I'd really see Sasuke act like this even though I think hes probably a closet case. Reply if I have a good or bad idea going.)

Part I. Machinations.

Ino felt horrible in the morning. There was possibility to salvage this situation. Very few ninjas she trusted to have the intelligence to formulate a plan. In her life, shes always depended on life and death on a certain apathetic and lazy ninja named Shikamaru. He was her only hope. This is how she ended up meeting him for coffee really early in the morning. The sunlight hurt her eyes. She knew she needed to patch her already shaky relationship with Sakura and if there was a way, he would know. Even if she was a pervert, Shikamaru wouldn't care or judge. He never really cares about anything.

"Yeah you're kinda fucked." he said.

"What? You must know something."

"You're probably going to hear this from a lot of shrinks but you're really. i mean really really fucked up."

"You said you wouldn't judge me!"

"Yeah I kinda lied." Shikamaru folded his arms and looked at the sun. Finally he had one hand raised to the sun and was drinking his coffee with the other. The shadow casted though the cafe window stretched over to Ino and in between her legs. She instantly knew what he was planing to do but it was to late. The sensation of his shadow started to finger her inside. She hated to admit it, but it felt really really good.

"What the hell are you doing!" she said trying not to make a scene. Shikamaru had a wicked smile.

"I have one idea for you. To patch up your differences with Sakura you need to have the same goals. Hence, the enemy of my enemy is my friend." he continued to wave his fingers in the air. Ino gripped on to the edge of the table hanging on every word.

"Who's my enemy? Who's Sakura's?"

"You really are an airhead, Tsunade is your enemy. In actuality, you've already messed up your friendship with Sakura. The only thing you can do now is seduce her in her moment of weakness. Then again what do I know. I hate girls."

"You're a genius!" Ino said. Then she shoved her coffee on Shikamaru's lap forcing him to release his hold on her. "Oops." she winked. "Bye bye. You really came through for me. You're the best semi-gay friend, a girl could have! Maybe you can finish what you started sometime."

Shikamaru folded his arms behind his head and reclined back in his chair. What a sick girl, he thought. I think I'm in love.

Caught by the Anko

Tsunade felt different this morning. She felt different every morning. The air was lighter and she could actually enjoy the beauty of the village. She strolled though the village and bought some flowers to put in a face. She bought things for breakfast she never buys. Exotic spices, cheeses. She couldn't understand these cravings for weird food but she knew shes been snacking a lot lately. It was rare that shed be out and about at this time but with work being pushed on Sakura and Shizune she decided a nice walk would do her fine. She decided to stop by and see what her little fox was doing. At this hour hes usually training in the forest.

Naruto charged up chakra and started to over head lift some boulders. He was wears no shirt and the sweat started to shine on his body. This was no good. Tsunade wanted to race over and take advantage of her little fox. There was no reason they both couldn't have a workout. There was no one in this forest. She raised her hand to yell hey to Naruto but she stopped when she saw Anko approach her Naruto. Tsunade watched in the distance.

Anko wasn't a discrete girl. She was considered a bit brash and cocky. Much like herself, however, Anko was younger, and perhaps more attractive. "I see you're working out Naruto. So am I. So few ninjas actually hone their skills. They can't appreciate what a good workout does for your body." Anko took her metal top off.

"Its getting hot in here." Naruto's attention was fixed up on the boulder.

"Just a second here. Just another 20 reps." he said and then continued to count to himself. Anko went under the boulder and behind Naruto and wrapped her arm around his wet body.

"You know I can spot you, and you can spot me on something else." She blew in Naruto's ear.

"Hey cut it out that tickles!" Naruto became unstable and finally with a thrust, he threw his boulder over head behind him. "What do you think you're doing?" Naruto yelled. However the both of them looked the boulder in horror as Naruto didn' have time to place the rock back on its correct axis and it began to pick up momentum as it rolled their way. "Holy shit! Naruto! No time!" They began to run down toward the forest until several large trees stopped the motion of the rock. Anko landed on Naruto. She laughed.

"I'm sorry Naruto." Naruto looked at a shirtless Anko.She was wearing snake skin undergarments. "Oh no, when we ran into the forest, I got my snake skin bra cut. On my its sliding off! Oh this is so embarrassing. Naruto aren't you going to help me?" Naruto felt his chakra boiling. Only it wasn't his chakra. He was getting turned on.

"Why are you hesitating, use my power." Kyuubi said. "Listen brat, I haven't gone doggie for so long."

"Whats doggie?" Naruto asked.

"What?" Anko asked. "Who are you talking to?" she giggled. She sucked on a finger then ran one along Naruto's chest unaware of the mental conversation.

"Use my chakra, use my power. Lets take this human!" Naruto looked down and realized he was getting extremely hard.

"I can't."

"What are you, gay?" Kyuubi said

Naruto helped Anko to her feet and walked back to his rock clearing. He picked up his jacket and put it around her. "Its really dangerous. Don't play with people caring weights. We could have been crushed."

"Do you even have a cock?" Kyuubie said.

Tsunade cheered inside her heart. She then turned her attention to Anko. If its a war she wants...

With Naruto leaving the scene, Anko continued walking out of the forest toward where Tsunade watched her ex-friend pass her. Anko clinging to shirt looked ever so slightly at the ground. Tsunade looked at toward the ground as well. Her arms were folded. They acknowledged each others existence with a sly exchange of smirks. As Anko passed Tsunade she said, "I just want a little taste."

Part II: Hypocratic Oath

Tsunade was lounging around her house. She was waiting for her special man. The truth was due to reckless actions she had many problems. One was named Sakura, the other Ino and now Anko. All of them were younger then her and were more cunning. Tsunade thought for a second. What am I to do? Naruto was never mine to begin with. I was the first wasn't I? I should have him. However there is a lifetime for him to make mistakes, to mess up, to learn. Good things can't last forever. Then again he was young, he needed to protect her young man from those snakes. Those torns without the roses. Tsunade laughed at the hypocracy of it all.

There was a draft. Tsunade went to inspect the open balcony when she felt arm wrap around her. What a sneaky ninja. But she accepted those arms. She felt long fang-like teeth press into her neck. His body was pressed up behind her.

"I suppose you haven't even given your first passion mark."

"Whats that?" he asked.

"Its okay we'll both heal fast." the two began to kiss furiously and then they bother worked on each others neck.

"Bam!!" There was a commotion from the the door down stars and it sounded like many feet pattering into the main lounge. One was a pig and so obviously the other was Shizune. "Mistress! I can't possibly do all the work for you. I've put it off far too long but i need you to authorize signatures for ninja health policies and ninja dental plans, ninja equal ops and amendment policies. Oh and the ninja 401K plan! Its a a nightmare!"

And then Shizune saw Naruto still wrapped up in Tsunade's arms.

She dropped the papers.

Then there was an earthquake which then became clear it was Sakura storming in. She was very strong. Almost as strong as Tsunade but lacked the grace. She was angry.

"I've been doing a lot of thinking sensei and its just not right. YOu're too old and its just plain weird and I can't just accept you're seeing Naruto even if it will cost me my...oh shit..." Saukra stopped to see Naruto. Then trailing behind the maelstrom was Ino. "Listen Sakura maybe you shouldn't just march in here. I mean what if no one is home." Finally Ino was up to speed with the situation.

"Why is everyone just marching into my home? First off, Shizune, ninjas don't get any policies, there is no retirement plan, no health plan , no dental. Nothing. No workers comp nothing. Sakura, you're crazy and you don't get to but into people's lives. Let them make their own mistakes and Ino, I'm going to kill you just because! So everyone get out so I can pack and leave the village and I'm taking this guy with me! When we get back I want everything back to normal Okay!"

Naruto walked up to Sakura. "I'm sorry Sakura-chan its just over. You're too late. Just let me be free."

"How can we be over when we never started! It just aggrivates me that you don't think and you jump into situations beyond your control and love is something you can't win with your ninja abilities or chakra power!" Suddenly Sakura grabbed him and kissed him as hard as she could. Naruto struggled to break free.

"Sakura! Let go of me. Get a grip!" Tsunade pryed her off and threw Sakura off and into a wall." Still weak, Sakura tries to keep fighting Tsunade in a cat fight. Severely outclassed, Sakura falls to her knees with a final blow, Tsunade left Sakura on her side. Ino rushes to her side. Tears fell from Ino's eyes. "Sakura!" she said then she began cradle her.

"Naruto, you just don't understand love yet."

"Why does everyone think I'm so stupid!" Suddenly everyone in the room stares at Naruto. "Are you serious?" Naruto looked to see Kakashi crouching on the balcony railing. He was spying the whole time! Lurking in his hiding place. What was he doing here?

"What do YOU know of love?" Sakura heard Naruto's words and he was right! What did she know of love?

"You're right Naruto. I don't know anything..." she had lost.

"She knows plenty. Sakura is love!" Ino yelled and then wiped her tears and began to to kiss Sakura passionately. Everyone is frozen. Shizume speaks up. Sakura still weakened from the assault could not resist her perverted friend from assaulting her mouth with her tongue.

"I have to go get some more paper work done!"

"I see why you told me Make-out Tactics was boring. It doesn't compare to what I have just witnessed with my Sharingan eye. It is you who should be the master. Naruto-senei." Kakashi bowed. "Let me become your pupil!"

Tsunade sighs and rolls her eye. Finally she drags Naruto by the arm like a doll. Naruto is smiling innocently but still honored at Kakashi's words. "Feel the energy! Kakashi, its leaking everywhere like Chakra." Kakashi is writing every word Naruto says as if it were spoken from god. FInally Naruto whispered in to Kakashi's ear.

Kakashi's eye widened, "I see, Anko's chakra is leaking everywhere. Her seal must be broken."

Naruto who is still be dragged by Tsunade looks at Kakashi. "Now go my student." His grin is as wide as his head and Kakashi must be grinning as well under his mask.

Part III. Sasuke's Rear-turn...er Return.

That night Sasuke was sitting under a tree in the courtyard of his former academy. Nostalgia filled the air and he knew he was finally home. It was a lonely cold scene and it felt so long ago. A lot has changed, his sword, his clothes. He was finally strong. He had one goal in mind. To find his childhood friend and complete the beautiful cycle of his life. If Naruto kills him, he would finally be at peace after years of vengeful killing and seeking of power. If he wins, he will prove to that smug bastard once and for all that true power is from the pain and hatred as his brother once told him.

Sakura passed this same academy. She needed to reflect about her feelings for Ino. Suddenly she gasped. He had returned. Her Sasuke, her love, she wanted to hug him and weep in his arms but she was more solem than that. "So you have returned." she said. "Thats good. You will finally find peace here no matter what you have done in the past."

"Who said i was here for peace or atonement? I came for him."

"So you didn't come back for me. I see." Sakura looked down.

"I will kill him unless he kills me first." He said.

"Stoic as ever? Why? Why are you willing to do all that? Are you still haunted by the past? None of those things matter anymore."

Sakura ran up and threw her arms around him. She kissed him on the lips. Sasuke gave her a hard shove. "Have you lost your senses? You can't change my goals. You can't subvert our destiny. We're going to see who was right all those years ago."

"I just missed you, thats all."

"Hmmpf, you're still as annoying as ever." Sasuke stopped and looked at his former friend. "Thank you." he said. "Tell that brat to meet me tomorrow outside the village at noon. Tell him this is where we find our truth."

Prep

"Tsunade, honey." Naruto said to his sleepy beauty. "I'm going to go tomorrow. I just found out some has come back into my life."

"What?" she moaned? "Go back to sleep she said. We can do it again in the morning." Naruto laid in bed. He looked up at the stars which can be seen in Tsunade's bed room. She had large windows that filled the room with moonlight. IT was a perfect night. If he died tomorrow, it would be absolutely a perfect last night. He had a beautiful woman, and a beautiful moon light night. He looked at her nude body and then stared at the stars again.

Brotherly Love

Sasuke stood peering over Naruto. He had finally found his so-called friend. He drew out his long hard sword and raised it over his head.

"I finally killed Kabuto." Sasuke underhand tossed a severed head and stumbled to Naruto's feet. "It was I who killed Orochimaru. I was the one that killed his student and finally I will have my revenge. Only to my surprised you killed that guy. Itachi Uchiha. He was the source of my pain. My hatred."

"Hey listen, I didn't have a choice. He was after my demon chakra!"

"The whole point of me suffering, to become strong, to sacrifice all that I am was to that I could kill that guy and you took it from me! You know there's no way of saving yourself! I won't spare you. If I can't get my revenge, I'll take it from you!"

"I didn't want to take your vengeance from you. If fighting me is the only thing that can grant your peace now, then I will fight. You were like my brother. I felt the same pain that you did. I loved you!" Naruto got into his stance and the red chakra formed around him. The chakra lifted from Sasuke and a smile drew across his face.

"Do you mean it? Because I've been fighting my whole life and now that I'm older I just want to find peace. I remember that the only time I was really happy was with you. I told you we felt the same pain but I thought I was lying to myself. I wanted to find true strength because I was afraid of my feelings. When you were passed out, I left you my head protector and stared at your sleeping body. I kissed your forehead. I wanted to kill you because I was ashamed of my feelings but now that I hear you feel that way, I love you too and with Itachi gone I can be free to be who I really am!!!"

Naruto's chakra turned blue and then died away. "What? What the hell? I meant I loved you like brother." Naruto remembered all those moments training with Sasuke. His arms were around his as they stumbled back to the lodging. All those times when Naruto would put his arms around him and he'd say don't touch him, it was probably dredging up homoerotic feelings inside him.

"Yeah that's what I meant too." Sasuke said. "Now lets just fight to the death!"

Kyuubi's chakra started to bubble. "I told you his eyes were more sinister than mine. He had planed to give you the Thousand years of Pain without his hands. This Uchiha puts the ass, in Ninja assassin. "

"You know what? Theres too much sausage Chakra in this party. I'm gonna bounce. Why don't we just pretend today didn't happen. I used to be the most hated brat in the village and suddenly I got Ino and Sakura acting all weird around me and each other, then Anko started giving me crazy snake skinned underwear that she shed herself, and to top it off my best friend who tried to kill just came out."

"Wait Naruto, come back I…I was just joking. Lets just fight to the death like I said earlier." Sasuke was ready to draw his sword out. There was no saving face now. He had to fight to the death now.

"Hey hey hey!!! Keep that sword of yours tucked way! I don't want to see any of that at all. None of your cursed seal that makes you look like you have blue lipstick, no Sharigan eyes, just keep it to yourself. Lets just do this killing each other thing some other time. I'll keep in touch really."

Naruto disappeared from the battle. "Seriously I was just kidding…Fuck!" Sasuke Yells.
