Naruto woke up late, after passing out in training.

It was the day of the battle at the bridge, but at the moment, he had more pressing things on his mind.

He had left to catch up with the team, but noticed the signs of the Samurai heading towards Tsunami's house. He sent a Kage Bunshin ahead to scout the bridge (but not engage), while he himself turned around and ran back.

'This is the first time I'll be in the house alone with Tsunami! I can finally make my move!'

Fortunately, the two samurai attacking her even gave him a good entrance...he was going to knock her socks (and maybe more) off.

Unfortunately, the damn brat was here, too! He'd have to divert the kid away, so he doesn't interfere, or find out about Naruto's singing too early.

So, with the two Samurai trying to drag Tsunami away, with the little brat interfering, Naruto made his move.

"Listen, Lady, just stop struggling and let us do our jobs!"

"Hey, Lenny, you here that?"

"Whatcha talkin' bout, Carl?...Hey, where's that music coming from?"

Indeed, music began to play...several kage bunshin appeared, one dragging Inari away ("You have to rally the villagers...or something. Just go somewhere else!"), while the others began producing music.

"There's a calm surrender
To the rush of day
When the heat of the rolling world
Can be turned away"

And with that, Naruto walked into view. Two Kage bunshin proceed to dispatch the Samurai, who were mighty confused about what was going on. They were easily tied up, too, and dragged away.

Tsunami looked at her savior, who seemed to be walking towards her out of some kind of mist. It had the effect of making him look rather impressive, especially for a twelve year old boy.

'It's all in the walk, Naruto...just keep it up!'

"An enchanted moment
And it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with you"

At this point, Naruto reached Tsunami.

Tsunami blushed. The song was rather romantic, and the boy was smiling warmly at her. She hadn't consciously noticed the light seeming to dim a little, or the wind picking up a bit. It all added to the atmosphere, on top of the music, to make this all very romantic.

"And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for wide eyed wanderer
That we got this far"

Nobody had ever sung to her like this. Hell, no one could really afford music these days, to be honest. No musicians ever bothered coming here, what with all the economic problems. It made her feel like a teenager again, gossiping about the village heartbreaker.

Naruto took Tsunami's hand. 'Come on, Naruto, keep it up. She's falling for it, just don't lose it! Sensei would be so proud!'

"And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best"

Naruto kissed her hand. Tsunami had fallen under the music's spell, as most women do. Even though she was a good 17 years older than he, she was still falling for it. She hadn't gotten any in a while, and was definitely 'in the mood', as they say.

She wasn't even seeing Naruto as a boy anymore, but seeing him as an amalgam of several men of her life. Some of the subtle genjutsus the Kage Bunshin were using were capitalizing on this fact, making Naruto look older and more mature. He definitely looked serious, as he sang.

Naruto continued to sing.

"There's a time for ev'ryone
If they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn"

Naruto twirled Tsunami over to him, and held her in a one arm hug. They were still standing on the docks, looking off into the morning sun rising over the water. It was breathtaking (though that was mainly aided by the Kage Bunshin), and Naruto could feel he was close.

Tsunami didn't even notice the height difference. It had been a long time since a man held her, and she was realizing how much she missed it.

And Naruto kept on singing.

"There's a rhyme and reason
To the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager
Beats in time with yours"

Naruto turned, and looked Tsunami in the eyes. Her breath caught, as he moved in for a kiss. It was light, no more than a peck, but it was enough. He could see it in her eyes, that it was enough.

"And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far"

This time, Naruto went in for a longer kiss. Tsunami was a lot more involved with this one, too. After a couple seconds, Naruto pulled back. After he finished the song...well, he'd move the party inside, then.

At this point, Tsunami would probably let him.

"And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest?
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best"

As they kissed yet again, the Kage Bunshin scout at the bridge burst itself, delivering all of its knowledge of what was happening to Naruto.

'GODDAMNIT! I WAS THIS CLOSE!!!! Damn you Sasuke, for sucking so goddamn much!'

With a sigh, Naruto pulled away.

"Sorry, love, but duty calls. I have a bridge to protect."

The Kage Bunshin kept the music up as he said this.

"But I'll be back..."

And with that, Naruto left. Tsunami stood on the pier, staring at him as he leapt away.

'Damn! This close! I was this close to finally getting some action! Damn you, Gatoh! You keep on distracting away all the good looking men!'

Author's Notes: A short one, but it was a scene alluded to in other songs, so it had to be done sometime : ).
