Disclaimer: I do NOT own Naruto, or any of the characters.
Tsume, Shio, Temo, and Meo however are mine, and if you would like to use them, please ask me 1st. Thank you.
Side Note: This is the 1st Naruto Fanfic that I have ever done, and the 1st one in a very long time. (In 5 years) Please be nice, however I would still like to hear/read, what you think and have to say about it. It's the only way to improve.
About the Story: This is an AU story line. I have not seen all of the shows and I have not read any of the mangas so I am unsure as to what happens in the real story line.
I do know about the Characters and I have done some reading so I hope I won't let anyone down.
In this story, there will be Adventure, Drama, Romance and a lot of other stuff. There is a main plot, with some small ones worked in to keep it going. It's going to take a few chapters to get the ball rolling and in order to allow everything to fall into place.
I love Sakura and what she stands for and I tell the truth I don't know who I am going to pare her up with, as the store builds, please let me know who you would like to see her end up with.
This Story tells about the Akatsuki and how it came to be, and the history that is behind it. About the truth behind it, and everything that they have done, it explains the history of Orochimaru, Tsunade, the 4th Hokage, Jiraiya, and the leader of Akatsuki. How over time, something that started out as just a goal to become more powerful, has affected so many and started a war.

Part ONE
Chapter FOUR
"You Have A What?!"
"Oh man it feels so good to be home." Naruto said as he walked in after Sakura.
"What, are you saying that you don't like sleeping up in a tree and on the hard earth floor?" Sakura laughed as she walked into the kitchen and opened some cabinets, to see that there was nothing in them. "You got back before I could go shopping. Guess we'll have to go out to eat."
"Good, all I want is ramen!"
"After six months that's all you can think about?" She looked over to see him laughing and scratching his head. "Go take a shower, and get all cleaned up and then we'll go eat."
Before she could say anything else, she heard the shower running. "Same old Naruto"
In the Land of Sound
"Kabuto" Came the smooth voice of the 'Snake Lord'. Darkness filled the room, lately Orochimaru had a dislike to light, and being outside in the day time.
"Yes Lord Orochimaru?" Kabuto said as he bowed.
"Have you found another medic to fix my arms?" Kabuto could hear the warring tone in his voice.
"Lord Orochimaru, I'm afraid that there is only one that can heal your arms, and she had already turned you down."
"Yes, Tsunade." He walked closer to the young man that he had trusted this far. "I have a mission for you then Kabuto, go to the Hidden Leaf Village and find out what Tsunade's new weakness is. I will not stand for you to fail me anymore. If you do not find anything that I can use, then do yourself a favor and kill yourself. If you come back to me without anything, I'll do worse then kill you. Do you understand?"
Taking a deep breath Kabuto knew that this was not the time to mess up. He had known for the last few years that he had been falling out of Lord Orochimaru's favor. With that Sasuke kid around, Orochimaru was spending less and less time with him, and more time training that brat.
"Yes sir, I'll leave right away." And with that he was out the door and making his way to his room to gather the few things he would need.
"Running another eared for the Master?" Kabuto stopped in his tracks and turned around to see non other then the brat.
"You would like that wouldn't you? More time to be trained by the Lord of Snakes himself." He sneered. It wasn't a secret that the two men hated each other with a passion.
"What can I say, whenever you're around you seem to upset him." Sasuke said walking up to him, as he was getting ready to pass him.
"Well, I'm on a mission that will but me back in his favor. I'm going to get Tsunade to fix his arms."
"I heard that she really did a number on you the last time you went up agents her." He let out an evil laugh. "Good luck with that." With that he was down the hall and out of site.
"I hate that man." Turning around he made it to his room and grabbed his things and wasted no time in leaving. He could make it to the village in about three days, and he didn't want to waste any time. He needed to be back in the favor of his lord.
Back in Konoha
She couldn't eat another bit, Naruto on the other hand was going on his fourth bowl of romen, and it looked like he could very well eat another two.
"Naruto you need to slow down, it's not going anywhere." Sakura said trying to get the man in front of her to slow down and breath.
He had grown into quite the handsome man. Standing at a good six foot five, he was a man to turn heads. His hair was still as blond as always, and he had grown it out, trying to look like the fourth Hokage. His eyes, could make any female melt and he still smiled like a little boy.
He mumbled something; however she wasn't able to understand it due to his full mouth. She just looked at him and raised an eyebrow.
Swallowing and setting the bowl down, he looked at her. "Sorry, I didn't now how mush I missed it. Kind' a foolish of me."
"Yeah, yeah, I'm just glad your home." She said laughing at him. There was no way that she could ever be made or upset at him… even if they where playing.
"So what have you been up to in the last six months that I've been gone?" He asked as he was trying to flag down the waiter for another bowl.
"Nothing much. Just working at the hospital and keeping out of trouble. Oh and then there is Temo."
At the mention of a male, Naruto looked at her like she grew another head. "WHAT! I'm gone for six months and when I get back you have a boyfriend! What the Hell! Who is he, is he a ninja? How did you meat, when do I get to meat him?" He was going about a mile a second and Sakura couldn't help but laugh.
"Naruto, calm down. It's not what you think." And before she went any further she got an idea. "If you would like to meat him we could go right now, I know were to find him."
"Hell yeah I want to meat this guy! Waiter!" He yelled across the small restraint. "Forget that last order, bring me the check."
She couldn't stop laughing; he was going to forgo ramen to meat her 'boyfriend'. This was just to much fun to pass up. The waiter come up and handed the check to Naruto. Looking at it he pulled out the money needed and placed it on the table and jumped up.
"Ok let's go. Lead the way." He said leading her to the door as she got up.
As they where walking, she looked over to Naruto and couldn't help but smile. He was going to make a great Hokage.
"How dose it feel?" She asked. "To know that you are going to be the next Hokage?"
He stopped and looked at her, all laughing aside. "To tell you the truth, I'm scared. I don't want to let everyone down."
"Naruto, you have never let anyone down, and you aren't going to. Lady Tsunade chose you because she knew that you would be the best man for the job. You would do anything for the people in this village, and your friends. You don't need to worry about it."
Taking her in his arms he hugged her. "Thank you Sakura." He let her go. Whenever he was unsure about something he could always count on Sakura to cheer him up. "Let go find this 'boyfriend' of yours."
They made their way to the hospital and Naruto looked at her like he was lost. Was he a doctor? "Um, Sakura? Why are we at the hospital?"
"Because this is where Temo is." She said with a smile.
They walked in and she waved to the nurse and some of the others walking in the halls. As they got closer to his room, she walked right in, holding the door for Naruto. He walked in and looked around, seeing the bed with a child in it.
"Hello Temo, how are you doing today? I brought a friend that I would like for you to meat." Looking over to Naruto she saw the wells tuning in his head. "Naruto, I would like you to meat Temo, he's been here a little over a month now." She said with a smile.
"Nice to meat ya." He said walking up to the bed side to gain a better view of the boy.
Walking around, Sakura pulled over another chair was in the corner. "Have a seat." She said to Naruto, as she sat in what had become her chair. "To tell you the truth, his name isn't Temo, I don't know what it is. A group found him on their way back from a mission all beat up. No one knows where he is from, and if he has any family. And because of the law, I can't force him out of the coma."
"Man, the poor guy. I bet his family must be worried."
"Yeah, I've tried everything to find them, but nothing has come up so far. I just have to wait." She said as she looked over to him lying there in the bed.
They just sat there in the quit room, it was kind of nice, just setting there, not feeling like something had to be said.
"So I take it that you don't have a boyfriend." Naruto asked. He had to know.
Laughing she shook her hear. "No I don't have a boyfriend. I don't have the time for one anyway. Besides not many men out there would like the fact that they're girlfriend has more control over there chakra then most."
"Well then you just need to find someone stronger then you." He said, not really thinking about what he was saying.
"Oh and who would that be?" she looked over to him.
"Well lets see here, there is Shikamaru, Neji, Kiba, Myself, Kakashi, oh and lets not forget Jiraiya." He said as he began to laugh as he said the last two.
"Shikamaru is to lazy, Neji is to quit, Kiba…. Kiba is just to Kiba… and do I really need to get into Kakashi and Jiraiya?" She asked.
"Hey you forgot about me!"
"No I didn't, you where never a option" She said laughing.
"Oh that hurts" He said jokingly, as he pulled at his heart.
They sat there a while longer laughing and talking, till it was getting later in the afternoon. After saying their goodbyes to Temo, they walked out of the hospital.
"Hey I'm going to head over to bug Kakashi, and the others, maybe get one of them to train with me." Naruto said as they walked on.
"Ok, I should go shopping and get some food for the house, and don't worry, I'll get romen. Just don't over do it with the guys, I don't want to have to heal any of you."
"Ah, you take all the fun out of it." He wined.
Laughing they walked a little further to the Hyuuga's Clan estates. As they walked though the front gates they saw Neji and Kiba already doing some light training.
Sakura couldn't help but look on at the two men, they where no longer young boys anymore then Naruto was. They had both grown into fine young men, and it didn't help that they were training without there shirts on.
"Hey guys!" He waved as he walked over to them, they stopped training to look who was headed there way.
"Hey Naruto!" Kiba yelled back, and then when he saw Sakura he ran up to her and grabbed her hand, kissing it. "And how is the lovely Sakura doing?"
Trying not to turn as red as to cherry, she smiled. "I'm doing fine. I'm just dropping Naruto of to play." She said looking over to the blond; he stuck his tough out at her.
"Good afternoon, Sakura." Neji said as he walked over and bowed.
"Good Afternoon Neji." She said bowing back. "Well I should get going, I would like to get the shopping done before it gets to dark. Please don't train to hard."
She turned around to leave as she saw Kakashi pooffing in. As they where passing, she looked back to get a last look of the group, only to see that they where still looking at her walking away. Caught off guard she sent them a wave as she turned around the gate.
With a sigh Naruto looked at Kiba. "Ok so what the deal with kissing her hand?"
"What? Oh come on, don't tell me that you didn't want to?!" He said in his defense.
"Just don't let it happen again." He said, getting his point across.
"Your can't chase every guy off Naruto." He spoke up, turning around.
"I know that! But I can try!"
"Naruto, she is an adult, she can decide how is worth her time, and who isn't." Kakashi added.
"Yeah and we saw how good that ended." Everyone knew that he was talking about Sasuke.
"That was when we where kids, I thought that she was over him?" Neji asked.
"Yeah then why hasn't she dated anyone then." Naruto asked to group of men.
"Maybe because you chase them all off." Kiba said under his breath.
"She needs someone who can take care of her, not run off whenever there is a fight. If they fun from me, they don't deserve her." Said Naruto, passion filling his words.
They all knew the feelings that he had for her, even if she didn't return them. He was going to be happy, if she was happy.
"Well I'm sure there is someone out there that well steal her heart some day. Who know it may even be me." Kakashi said as he jumped in the air, ready for the attack that he knew was coming.
"Kakashi! Get back here!" Naruto yelled as he chased after the older man.
"Some things never change." Neji said as he looked back over to Kiba.
