Author: To all who read this, this is not the original chapter 16, it is a remake. The original was suppose to be from Sakura's point of view for the entire chapter. But my computer FUCKING ERASED IT. So you'll just have to settle for one from Naruto's point of view, sorry kiddies.

Disclaimer: I don NOT own Naruto.

Enjoy the fic.

Moving forward, no regrets

Before his meeting with the Kyuubi ( The red haired women in the last chapter.)

Naruto sighed, he knew that Sakura had seen him and Tsunami last night, he could sense it. He had a little talk with the forest and it seems that she had attempted to follow Tsunami to where ever she was going. Of course they stalled for time by making Sakura's time in the forest a living hell, while allowing Tsunami to pass through it peacefully. Around a couple of minutes after Tsunami had begun to just stare up at the stars, he told them to release her.

He knew she had looked at them in shock, what else would she feel after seeing a 24 year old women kiss a sixteen year old and attempt to go in for another kiss, only to be stopped by said teen. Sakura probably also noticed tsunami's reaction, which would also cause problems for him. He didn't no how or where, but he knew that Sakura would eventually corner him and demand some answers.

Naruto sighed, as he looked down at Tsunami's sleeping form. She apparently found his shoulder very comfortable, since she had gone to sleep a little while after just laying her head down. Naruto sighed, as he knew what was going to happen after this, but decided that it was for the best. After all, a civilian would be to easy of a target for 'them' and Naruto just couldn't risk anything with Tsunami.

Beside's she's like what, 8 years older then him? He didn't think that it would work out anyway.

Naruto sighed, as he picked up the sleeping form of Tsunami bridle style. Tsunami instinctively rapped her arms around his neck, as she got into a more comfortable position for her to sleep. Naruto then began to walk slowly towards the forest, making sure not to disturb Tsunami in anyway. It was going to be a long night for him.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto opened the door quietly, as to not disturb anybody in the house or the person he was currently carrying. Naruto closed the door and headed up the stairs, going directly for tsunami's room. When he got there, Naruto laid Tsunami on the bed and covered her in the sheets. He then stared at her for a moment, before heading out the door, closing it behind him.

' You know she really is going to miss you.." A voice said, as Naruto turned to face Tazuna, who was near the stairs. He had apparently been raiding the fridge, do to the fact that he still had some bread in his hands and had just finished. Tazuna had a face that few people ever got to see. Him actually being serious is rare for him, but possible. Naruto just looked back at the door.

' I know." Naruto said, as Tazuna just took a bite out of his piece of bread and thought for a moment. A few seconds later Tazuna swallowed, as he stared at Naruto for a moment.

" Are 'they' still after you?" Tazuna asked, as Naruto just sighed.

" I was almost caught about a year ago, but beside's that I've managed to escape 'them'." Naruto stated, as he took out a kunai and twirled it around his hand. Tazuna face showed some concern.

" You know what well happen if th-."

" 'They'll' burn down wave country, I know. It's not in the original plan to go after wave so soon, but if there's something worth taking here, what's to stop them?" Naruto asked, as Tazuna just sighed.

" Seriously Naruto, if your caugh-."

" I won't be, so don't worry about it.' Naruto stated, as he headed towards his room and grabbed the doorknob, before looking over at Tazuna. " Goodnight, Tazuna-kun. "

" Goodnight, Naruto." Tazuna said, as Naruto's door closed behind him. Tazuna then made his way towards his room, which he was sharing with Kakashi and Zabuza for the remainder of their stay. Tazuna just open his room's door and close it behind him, having only one thought on his mind.

" I hope you know what your doing..."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AfterThe meeting with the Kyuubi.

It was beautiful morning in wave country, the birds were chirping, the dew left on the plants was shining brightly, Naruto was being a lazy ass and enjoying every minute of it. No seriously, he was. Him and Kakashi were the only one's who had yet to actually get up. It was already 12 o'clock and they had yet to wake up at all. They were suppose to have left by now, but they would not wake up.

Sakura had even tried to go up stairs and wake them, until Haku and Tsunami stopped her, saying it was for the best that they wake up on their own. Both of them knew that if they were sleeping this great, then it would be better not to wake them up.

So they waited, trying to find way's to pass the time. Sasuke had gone off to train, while Sakura attempted to follow, but was rejected by Sasuke again. She then settled to teaching Inari a few things from which he could improve over the years. Haku and Zabuza had also gone out to train, while Tazuna and Tsunami had just stayed inside. It was around 2 pm that they finally woke up, and soon regretted it. Since they received a scolding from three women at once. Naruto and Kakashi were use to it, they were apart of the Uzumaki family, and every guy in that family knew what to expect and how to handle this kind of situation ...except for Iruka, he's never pissed off any female before.

The group off people decided to get a free meal since they had waited to long and stayed long enough for dinner. It was interesting...to say the least. Inari had gotten into his head at some point to jump on the table and try to show everyone his new jutsu, both Tazuna and Zabuza tried to catch him and failed miserably. Tsunami and Haku watched them, while Sakura was still trying to get a date out of Sasuke.

Actually, she had managed to break through that strong mental will of Sasuke's and he actually agreed to one date. Of course, this made Sakura extremely excited. Which made her lose control of her chakra control when she hugged him, causing Sasuke to change his mind about the date. Thus leaving Sakura in a state in which if anything else happened to her, she would break down and cry. But since the author can't stand to see a woman is cry, mentally or physically, Sakura is just going to looked down at her plate and eat quietly. Deciding that if she could break through his barrier once, she could sure as hell do it again.

Naruto and Kakashi were just ignoring all of this and were concentrating on their meals. Kakashi had pulled out his book and was reading the last chapter. This brought a tear to his eye, thinking that it was the end of such a beautiful story. Naruto noticed this and just raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

They were out the door at around six, having everything they needed packed and on their shoulders. Tazuna, Tsunami, and Inari all gave them a warm good bye. Naruto's being the warmest since Tsunami walked up to him and gave him a kiss on the check, before just sighing and walking back towards the house.

Naruto, along with everyone else, was shocked at this and of course only Naruto had pulled out of his shock in time to see that Tsunami had been swaying her hips all the way to the door. Tsunami looked over her shoulder and just grinned with the satisfaction, knowing full well that Naruto had been staring at her ass. Naruto realized what he had been doing a second later and mumbled something under his breath, before saying good bye to Inari and Tazuna, and heading in the direction of fire country.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It had been a while since that had happened. Currently both Kakashi and Naruto had decided to keep themselves busy with a little game, since Kakashi had finished his book at dinner. It was Kakashi's turn, actually, he sucked at this game and it remand his turn for quite some time.

" I spy with my little eye something...gre-."

"Leaf." Naruto said, as he yawned. You'd just naturally assume that any game that involved eye's would be easy for someone like Kakashi, but then again, he was probably deprived of a childhood until he was adopted into the Uzimaki family. So it was understandable...

But he still sucked.

Kakashi sighed, as he looked over at Naruto. " Can we please play another game, I'm tired of this one. " He whined, as Naruto just looked at him lazily.

" Hey, you were the one that said we should play it."

" I didn't think you would be this good. "

" It's not that I'm good, its just that you suck at it."

" Still, can we switch to another game. "

" No, seeing you fail at I spy is more then enough entertainment for me."

" But that's jus-." Kakashi stopped, as the ground shock a bit. Everyone one looked over at Zabuza, who had laid his sword on the ground. Everyone's eyebrows rose, as he just cleared his throat.

" This will be as far as me and Haku-chan go." Zabuza stated, as Haku looked at him in confusion, before finally getting it. Sakura looked around their current area, before turning her attention towards Zabuza.

" But were just about to enter the fire nation." Sakura said, as Zabuza lifted his sword and placed it back on his back, before walking past her and up to Naruto.

" Exactly." Zabuza stated, as he stared at Naruto for a few seconds, both of them making eye contact. Naruto nodded slightly, as Zabuza just turned around and headed in the direction of cloud country. Haku walked up to Naruto and gave him a hug.

" It was nice to see you again Naruto-kun, take care." And with that, she released him from her grip and ran up beside Zabuza, as they both made their way back home. Naruto just stared at their disappearing backs, before turning around and heading towards fire nation. Or, at least he would have if Sakura hadn't stopped him in the process.

" That's it Uzumaki, I want answer's, NOW!" Sakura stated, as Naruto just looked at her in a none caring way.

" Ask away and I'll answer to the best of my capability... for three questions." Naruto stated, as Sakura took in a deep breath.

"Okay, one, how the hell do you know those two?" Sakura asked, as Naruto just looked back in the direction of were Zabuza and Haku had went.

" I should know my own family." Naruto answered, as Sakura raised her eyebrow. " He's my uncle, and Haku would probably be something like a sister/cousin to me." Sakura and Sasuke, who had remand quite the entire time, were now starting to get interested.

" Okay, two, do we know any other family member's of yours?" Sakura asked, as Naruto just looked over at Kakashi.

"Should you tell them or should I?" Naruto asked, as Kakashi sighed and started to list them.

" Well their's your old academy teacher, Iruka, then their's me and Rin, and finally their's Zabuza and Haku. Should I list more?" Kakashi asked, as he looked over at Naruto.

"That's all they need to know at moment." Naruto stated, as Kakashi just shrugged, while Naruto just looked over at Sakura. " Now, for your third question? "

"Right, about you and Tsunami..."

" Hey Sakura, what's that?" Naruto asked, as he pointed towards her shirt. Sakura looked down on it.

" What's what?' She asked, as Naruto just waved it off.

" Nothing, I thought I saw a bug on you." Naruto stated , as Sakura remembered what she was going to ask. Sakura took in another deep breath.

" Okay Naruto, what's your relationship with Tsunami." Sakura said, sounding like she was demanding it, rather then asking it. Naruto just turned around and started to walk towards fire country.

" I'm not at liberty to say." Naruto stated, as he continued to walk towards his home nation. Kakashi was interested in how Naruto was going to answer that question, but when he heard what he said, Kakashi knew it would be useless to try to find out. Sakura was a different matter.

"WHAT! YOU SAID THAT YOU WOULD ANSWER THREE QUESTIONS!" Sakura yelled, as Naruto just continued forward.

" I did. Now if you don't mind, I would like to make it into fire nation's border before we stop to camp." Naruto said, as Sakura began to fume and was about to attempt to strike Naruto down, but was stopped by...Sasuke?

" Leave him." Sasuke said, as Sakura just looked up at him in shock.

" But don't you want to find out abou-.?"

" He'll tell us when he what's to, until then, just be patient." Sasuke then walked off towards fire nation, as Sakura just sighed. She wanted to find out, but if her Sasuke had asked her to stop, then she would...for now. Sasuke was having different thoughts, they weren't told everything about Naruto's family and he was suspicious of it. The only thing he was sure about at the moment was.

That he would find out about it eventually.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Thank you for your report's, you may leave now. Naruto you wanted to talk to me about something?" Jirayi asked, as Naruto waited for everyone else to leave the room. His face then turned serious, as he looked at the current Hokage.

"Ero-Oiji-san, I would like to have a look at my fathers old workshop..."
