Naruto and gang were enjoying the meal they were eating as a couple of council members entered the establishment and approached Tsunade. They were going to address her but were surprised into a stupor when they realized that "Demon Child" had a hand on her thigh, this enraged some of the members yet intrigued and even didn't some of the others.

"Hokage-sama, why is its hand touching you in such an intimate way?" An unknown elder asked addressing Tsunade with respect but being sure to have nothing but contempt while referring to Naruto as it

Naruto and Tsunade both cringed as Zabuza who had been rather quiet the whole meal quickly but a hand on the hilt of his sword. Tsunade noticed this and was about to say something to deescalate the situation when Zabuza spoke for the first time.

"The IT you are referring to has a name, it is Uzumaki Naruto, but you can refer to him as Uzumaki-sama if you wish, since you are addressing the head of a clan, and one of my closest friends." Zabuza replied as he released a killer intent that almost made the man soil himself

The Elder paled as some of the others in the room chuckled at the statement Zabuza had made. Nara Shikaku who knew that Naruto and Shikamaru were friends, laughed and smiled at Naruto before talking.

"Naruto-san I see that you are home, I think that my wife would be mad if I was to see you and not invite you and Tsunade to dinner tonight." Nara Shikaku said as he addressed the Teen and heard his son mutter his trade mark "How Troublesome"

"Thank you Nara-sama, I think we will take you up on the offer." Naruto replied as he looked at Tsunade whom nodded her assent

"Come now Naruto-san, how many times do I have to tell you to call me father?" The clan head asked while the others snorted in disgust which earned them a glare from the younger Nara

"Sorry, Nara-sama, I will try to remember next time." Naruto apologized and bowed his head slightly

Nara Shikaku just rolled his eyes knowing that the boy would never call him that, besides he knew Jiraiya had adopted him before the boy left. Nara smiled and then looked at the Hokage-sama and bowed. The rest of the small contingent, just gave a slight nod of their heads, and left leaving behind them the stench of arrogance.

Tsunade sighed as she supported her arms with the table, resting her elbows on the table she allowed her face to fall into her opened palms. She knew the confrontation was going to happen with the council she just hadn't thought so soon. She had hoped her and Naruto would have been able to spend some more time together before she would have to make a choice between her job and Naruto.

"Naruto, dear could we go for a walk; I think I need some fresh air?" Tsunade asked as she looked up and smiled at everyone, Naruto looked at her and could recognize the worry etched in her face

"SURE, WHY NOT." Naruto yelled as he reverted momentarily back to his former 12 year old façade.

Tsunade smiled as she parted her hair and brushed it back with the flats of her palm, she stood up and gave a slight bow goodbye and left, she was shortly followed by Naruto who met her at the entrance of the Restaurant and took her hand in his as they began the walk. Naruto looked at the women to his left and knew something was wrong, in all the time he had known her, the facial expression she now wore, said it all.

"Come one spit out what's wrong?" Naruto asked, when he didn't get an immediate answer he spoke again "Baa-chan, spill it I know something is bothering you, and as long as I the GREAT UZUMAKI NARUTO is your boyfriend I will help you."

Tsunade would have smiled at his attempt to make her feel better if it wasn't for the fact he had just called her baa-chan, ugh she hated that nickname, a vein now very visible on her forehead began to tremble slightly.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?" Tsunade yelled as she turned to face the boy

"Come now baa-chan, do I have to remind you in front of all these people and in a loud voice that I fell in love with you as I watched you bathe. I call you baa-chan because I can, and if I didn't love you then I wouldn't, remember I fell in love with you not the henge, and I mean all of you." Naruto replied trying to defuse Tsunade who was ready to explode "besides you are only trying to avoid the question?" he added, Tsunade could only blush and hide her face while muttering something that sounded like "if you weren't so cute, then POW"

Tsunade gave another sigh and shifted nervously from one foot to the other; she needed to ask Naruto something but didn't know how to do it. She needed to talk to him about the possibility of them leaving the village. She had a meeting with the council in a few hours and he needed to be there, in the fours years she thought she had had she would have spent the time to try and ensure nothing would happen once they became a couple, but he had returned early and the council had seen them.

"Naruto what if we have to leave the village? The council saw us this morning, albeit no the whole council but enough of them, that if they wanted, they could make me resign because we are dating." Tsunade asked as she stopped and faced her boyfriend, she could she his face scrunch in thought, the way his nose shrunk, was the cutest thing she had ever seen

"Then we leave, I don't care what we do as long as it is together, you and Jii-san have open travel rights, why don't you give them to me as well before the meeting then the three of us with Shizune can leave." Naruto replied looking at Tsunade waiting for her reply

"NANIIII, are you serious, I thought your dream was to become Hokage, you can't do that if you are out traveling with us." Tsunade almost yelled

"Dreams change everyday, mine changed when I fell in love with you, I will go where go, I rebuild my clan where I rebuild it." Naruto finished and looked at her.

"Rebuild you clan? You want me to be a mother? What of Hokage?" Tsunade asked still confused, Naruto walked to her and hugged her breathing in the deep smell of her hair and answered her

"You ARE MY DREAM, you are every thing I could want in this life, I would be utterly content with nothing more then just you, Hokage was just a way to become acknowledged and I decided along time ago you were the only one I wanted to acknowledge me." Naruto replied whispering in her ear send chills down her back, pausing to catch his breath he continued "Lets go to your office and get the papers I need, that way we can go to the meeting prepared." Naruto finished as he sealed what he had just told her with their first kiss, Naruto's warm rough lips met Tsunade's tender moist lips in a passionate kiss in which two soul mates pledged something special.
