Ok. Just so people can understand what I'm about to do, regarding Naruto's Yin-Yang release, which has the ability to do "anything" this also limits Naruto to being able to do anything, as long as he has Yin and Yang energy to spare. So yeah… With that done, I'll see you all in a bit.

"Speaking"

"Thinking"

"Summons/ bijuu speaking"

"Summons/ bijuu thinking"

"Fire style: Great fireball technique"

"Yosh! Ok Satsuki-chan! Now you just have to hold that position and I swear that you will be able to advance towards water-walking training in about… Thirty minutes… If you have any chakra left by that time I mean." Laughed out Naruto as he stood on the ground staring up at a tree where the sight of Satsuki standing in an awkward crane position met his eyes.

Letting his eyes roam over his friend's body, Naruto let out a small giggle as the sight of a now sweating Satsuki met his gaze, before looking around towards both her hands, which, were now holding not one, not two, not even three… But a good twenty-ish leaves hovering slightly from her palms.

Turning his head around, Naruto let out a small whistle.

"Geez boss! I would have thought for sure you would have panned off control to one of us clones you know. It's like a universal thing now-a-days to let all your clones do the training by themselves!" Shouted out Naruto, or rather a clone of Naruto, as he stared at his "boss" running laps around the lank with a look of pure determination on his face as he lifted a boulder on his back, which had the distinct black markings of Fuinjutsu seals printed on it.

It should be noted that the seals also seemed to "wrap" themselves around Naruto's torso and limbs.

The most impressive part about it actually happened to be how he was keeping balanced as he had five separate clones around the edges of the lake training their water release, thus causing ripples to spread throughout the lake, which in turn required Naruto to change his chakra in his feet with every slight shift beneath him.

But even then, the Naruto carrying the rock continued to increase his speed as he began to feed his Yin-Yang release into his body in miniature bursts, causing his shredded muscles to heal and strengthen as he continued to run and lift the bolder.

Letting out a grin, Naruto continued to slowly increase his pace as he ran on the water, before looking over towards the clone and Satsuki's direction before giving a wink with a crimson coloured eye.

"What's the matter Satsuki? You seem tired for some reason!" Shouted Naruto as he sprinted by, causing a now pouting Satsuki to let out a small tear as she stood frozen in position on the side of a tree.

"… I need to pee…" Whined out the girl, causing the clone to let out a sigh as he stared at Satsuki's pouting seven year old face.

"Fine…" Grumbled out the Naruto clone, causing the black haired girl to let out a massive smile… Before the clone let out a dark sadistic smirk.

"After you complete not only this exercise, but also the one boss is doing… Minus the 200KG rock on his back." Replied the clone happily as he sat down into a meditative position before relaxing.

Satsuki simply stared at the clone down below her with a red pout… Before feeling her nose start to tickle…

Ah…

"No."

Ah…

"No."

Ah…

"ACHOO~ NOOO MY LEAVES!" Screamed the girl, as she watched with her own set of crimson eyes as seven leaves left her body before swaying in the wind… Where one then slowly, ever so slowly… Fell and landed on the clones silent head…

Which gained a devious smirk.

"Do it again." Spoke the clone, his eyes shut and his body still as he grinned evilly, causing Satsuki to let out a whimper as she slowly lifted her hand up towards some more leaves… Before she felt her lose control of her leaves residing on her right hand…

Looking up towards the sky, the girl let out a small tear as the rather obvious need to pee was getting to her.

"Why Kami…" Questioned the girl, staring up at the sky with a look of both hatred and sadness as her crimson eyes spun… Before an apple clonked her in the head, resulting on her falling down onto the soft grass below… Where the face of the smirking clone appeared.

"For falling off that tree… You must now hold twenty leaves in both hands while maintaining the crow position… For an hour." Grinned out the clone, causing the girl to let out twin waterfalls.

"Hai… Sensei…" Muttered the girl out silently, causing the clone to let out an evil laugh.

As the clone did this, the main Naruto let out a sweat drop as he continued to run laps.

"Am I a hidden sadist or something? It must be the falcons fault." Grumbled out Naruto mentally as he sent his friend a rather sorry look as their eyes connected briefly.

(Sometime later- Hokage monument)

"Naruto-kun… Is what we're doing simple?" Asked Satsuki as she sat silently next to her blond haired friend, who was gazing out towards the village with a small smile.

Keeping his eyes out towards the village for a few moments, Naruto turned his head over towards Satsuki with his crimson eyes staring at the girl once more, causing said girl to pout.

"Aww… Why do you keep getting to change your eye colour whenever you want! Besides, aren't your blue ones the one's you were born with? Why do you keep switching between blue and red?" Questioned Satsuki, gaining a small chuckle from Naruto as he shook his head a bit before returning it towards the village.

"Well… For your first question… We are far surpassed what those of the shinobi academy are doing… They haven't even heard the likes of chakra control and other things. Your sharingan has also developed in a short three months that you have had it, and I'm pretty sure with some more training you can probably gain the third tomoe in another few months…" Replied Naruto as he glanced towards Satsuki, who was now watching Naruto with her two tomoe'd sharingan spinning ever so slowly as she listened to him.

This made him let out another smile as she kept her attention onto him as he looked away once more.

Leaning down onto his back and resting his head beneath his arms, Naruto stared up towards the still blue sky before releasing a small sigh.

"Honestly. I think you are one of the strongest kid in the entire elemental nation. Well, one who isn't somehow 1. In the shinobi academy, and 2. One who isn't a straight out prodigy in everything like your older brother Itachi." Finished Naruto off as he rolled his head towards Satsuki, who was smiling happily besides him as she too laid down next to him, enjoying the breeze of the monument they were on.

Keeping his crimson eyes focused on her, Naruto let out another smile.

"And as for my crimson eyes… I guess… It's because not only does it feel like it's how it should be… But I also get to share the same colour eyes as some of my friends… Like you… And you too fuzzy…" Muttered Naruto as he shut his eyes slowly before relaxing onto the ground.

Letting out a smile. Satsuki edged herself closer towards Naruto before enveloping him with a one armed hug before laying her head on the arm that Naruto used to support his own head.

"You know… I think I don't mind being a civilian if I can spend it with you Naruto… I mean… Just look at how wonderful it is here in the village. It's so peaceful and calm… And if we were civilian's… We wouldn't have to worry about anything aside from working." Muttered Satsuki as she snuggled her head on Naruto's arm, causing the blond haired teen to let out a small laugh as he opened his eyes slowly before glancing down towards his friends eyes.

"True… But then… Who would protect the peace we have here?" Asked Naruto rhetorically, gaining a small giggle from Satsuki as she continued to lay on Naruto.

"Well… There is your tou-san the hokage… And then there is the whole Uchiha clan… And all the other clans… Hell… Even your sisters may protect us in the future… I heard they are getting special training from your tou-san and kaa-chan." Returned Satsuki, gaining a small smirk from Naruto as he continued to lay there with Satsuki.

"Yeah well... Would you believe me if I told you that you already surpass my sisters? And your brother Sasuke?" Asked Naruto, gaining a look of shock from Satsuki as she lifted her head up towards Naruto, her eyes scanning his face for any deceit as she stared.

"R-really?" Asked Satsuki, causing Naruto to give the girl a wink and smile.

"Yep. Kasumi and Mito are only up to the leaf training, and that was only a few days ago. Sure they are getting taijutsu training, but with me helping you train your body I'm sure you can easily defeat my sisters. Sasuke may be a bit harder, but that's because he unlike my sisters has that fireball jutsu… Which you can also do now as well… So yeah… I think you're stronger than they are already by a fair amount." Replied Naruto with a small twinkle in his eye as he moved his attention away from Satsuki and back towards the sky, where a cloud flew by.

It was silent for a few more moments with the two seven year olds laying down besides each other, but soon, the silence was broken once again.

"Then… What about you Naruto? How strong are you?" Asked Satsuki as she continued to stare up towards the sky silently.

Naruto let the question hang within the air for a few moments before shutting his eyes for a bit.

"I'm… Strong enough to be confident I can protect my family and friends… Even if I should die… I'm sure I can keep everyone I care about safe." Replied Naruto, gaining a small nod from Satsuki before she moved her head up and positioned it in front of Naruto's.

Lowering her head, Satsuki let out a small smile. As Naruto gazed at her now coal coloured eyes with curiosity.

"Satsuki-" "Naruto… I believe in you." Muttered Satsuki as she lowered herself down slightly before planting a firm kiss onto Naruto's cheek, causing the mentally 16 year old to widen his eyes in pure shock as he looked towards Satsuki's red, but smiling face.

"Naruto-kun… Thank you for everything you have done for me… Somehow… Someway… You've helped me grow so fast in the skills of a shinobi… Even when I was titled by my own clan as a "lost cause." I know that they don't really want to hurt me… But it would seem kinda odd that a member of the clan head's family couldn't produce a good ninja… But… I guess they were wrong…" Rambled Satsuki, laying her head down onto Naruto's arm once more as she firmly held Naruto in a hug.

Shutting her eyes, Satsuki smiled.

"I just needed the right teacher and friend." Finished Satsuki, causing Naruto, who now held a set of tears at the corners of his eyes, to let out a small smile before contributing to the hug Satsuki brought him into.

Wrapping his right arm around her, so that his left could still be used as a cushion for the girl, Naruto let his chin lay on top of Satsuki's head for a moment before giving the crown of her head a kiss.

"You know… You're really mature for a seven year old dattebayo." Mumbled Naruto onto Satsuki's hair, causing the girl to let out a giggle.

"I found an orange book in my parents' bedroom and decided to read it one day… I don't think I should have but… Bit too late for that now." Laughed Satsuki, causing Naruto to mentally blanch for a moment… Before an image of a pounded Jiraiya popped into his head.

"Kurama… Make sure to keep that image in my head and the reason for it. The old bastard corrupted Satsuki-chan." Spoke Naruto, gaining a half-hearted "Sure" from Kurama as he continued to sleep.

"…."

"…."

"…."

"Do you have the feeling of being watched as well?" Asked Naruto as he opened his eyes and looked around.

Nodding her head, Satsuki moved her head from Naruto's body and sat up a bit.

"Yeah…" Groaned out the girl, causing Naruto to release a small sigh before gazing towards the trees behind the duo.

"You can come out now Mikoto-san." Droned out Naruto, causing the area to fall in silence for a few moments… Before one single set of feet appeared from the forest.

There stood Mikoto Uchiha, the clan heads wife, smiling as she ever so slowly walked towards the duo. Satsuki seeing this, glanced between herself and Naruto for a moment, before widening her eyes as shaking her hands in front of her.

"W-w-w-w-what are y-y-you d-d-d-doing here?" Stuttered out Satsuki as her face was enveloped in a red colour, much towards the grinning Naruto's amusement… That was until he suddenly found a sharingan enhanced demonic stare from an evilly smiling Mikoto, who had lowered herself so that she and Naruto were around the same height.

"You know, when I heard from Kushina-chan that you and Satsuki were becoming… "Close."… I didn't believe it…" Murmured Mikoto out, causing Naruto to twitch as his mind went back a few months where he slammed the door on his mother's face after she saw him carry Satsuki in a bridal position.

Suddenly, Naruto felt himself shudder as a sudden killing intent hit him. Of course, the owner of said killing intent was right in front of him.

Keeping her smile, Mikoto lowered her head slightly more… Before the killing intent disappeared in the wind a moment later.

"So… Would you like to come over for dinner?" Asked the woman, causing Naruto to blanch for a moment… Before nodding his head slowly with a rather weirded out look on his face.

"Sure…"

And that's it, hope you enjoyed the chapter.
