"Agh!" Makato yelled as she went flying threw the air after trying to fight Naruto one on one. She quickly righted herself, and charged again, performing the seals for Chidori, charging towards Naruto, who smirked and stood still, much to the horror of the girls and Makato. Not being able to stop in time, Makato felt her arm pierce through Naruto's chest, or so she thought. Naruto smirked and poofed out of existence.
"You did well, Mako-chan, especially after only one day of practicing with the Chidori. You've earned the next jutsu I'll teach you after we're all done. "Naruto said as he pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket. He looked at the name and smirked. "Ok, Rini-chan, it's your turn. Show me what you got."
Rini nodded, and charged at Naruto, flipping over him, performing a reversed heel axe kick toward his left shoulder. Naruto saw this coming and twisted his body out of the way, and flicked Rini towards the apple tree. Rini then got up, and performed the hand seals for her jutsu, causing her fist to glow while she charged.
"Meton, Koutetsu Kobushi!" she yelled as she punched at Naruto, who grabbed her fist before she hit him. Grunting in pain, Naruto threw her towards a rock, only to be caught by a kage bunshin. Naruto wiped some sweat out of his eyes as he went to the girls. Out of all the girls, only Rei and Ami were left to spar with him.
"Ok, Rini-chan. You did great, you just need to get a little bit faster, but over all, you pass. I'll teach you a new jutsu soon. And now... Ami-chan, it's your turn." Naruto said, looking at the name on the paper. Ami nodded and went to spar, leaving Rei slightly nervous, since she was last to fight Naruto. Her thoughts were still on the kiss they had the day before. Her thoughts were cut off as she heard Ami call out her jutsu.
"Suiton, Daibakufu no jutsu!" she yelled as a torrent of water coursed through the air towards their blonde male friend. Naruto smirked, and created a ball of swirling energy into his hand. He thrust forward his hand and blocked the water coming towards him.
"Rasengan!" he yelled, causing all the water to go back and almost drench the girls. Naruto grinned. "Ami-chan, you are also doing great in this jutsu. Rei-chan, it's your turn." Rei nodded and stood in front of Naruto, both thinking about the kiss they shared yesterday, unaware of what the other girls were talking about.

Hotaru was gossiping like crazy when Naruto and Rei hadn't moved for a while. She smirked when she saw them blush.
"I wonder what aniki will do against his crush?" she asked jokingly to Rini. Rini smirked and nodded at her until Mina burst out laughing.
"Naruto has a crush on Rei! Oh my god, how did you find out, Hotaru?" she asked. Hotaru grinned widely.
"Aniki said he had a crush on Rei-chan, and asked if it was ok to say he liked their kiss." she explained. The girls laughed and turned back to the two fighters, who had just started to spar.

The raven haired girl charged at Naruto, planning on kneeing him in the stomach. She tried it, but her opponent jumped back from her, and did a sweeping kick, attempting to make her fall, bur Rei saw it coming and jumped over his leg, giving Naruto and opening to punch her in the stomach, knocking her to the ground. Rei quickly got up, and got into her fighting stance.
"Rei-chan lets see if you've got the Hi Kaji no jutsu down." Naruto said as he performed some hand seals, causing Rei to perform some herself.
"Katon, Hi Kaji no jutsu!" Rei yelled as Naruto finished his hand seals.
"Suiton, Daibakufu no jutsu!" he yelled as he shot a stream of water towards the fire that came out of Rei's mouth. But to his suprise, the fire Rei blew out wasn't yellow, but a light blue flame that instantly dried out the water. Naruto immediately used kwarimi to with a giant rock. He quickly went behind her and pressed a pressure point in the back of her neck, causing her to faint. Naruto sighed as he caught her falling body, and turned to the rock that he substituted himself with, or what was left of it. All that was left of the rock was a pile of smoking rubble. Naruto gulped at the result of Rei's attack.
'Oi Fox, what do you think that was?' Naruto asked.
"I, for once, do not know what she did. Maybe your mate created a new jutsu, this one, more powerful. You did well, to like a strong mate, Kit." Kyuubi said. Naruto blushed when he heard what Kyuubi said.
'W-w-what are you talking about? She's not my mate. I just like her, you dumb fox!' Naruto said, blushing badly.
"If you don't like her that way, then why do you look at her like the way you do? Why do you dre-"
"Shut up you damn Ero-kitsune!" Naruto yelled, cutting the fox off, not realizing he yelled it out loud. He looked at the girls who were giving him weird looks; Naruto blushed a mumbled something about a damn fox. Kyuubi was laughing hysterically in his cage.
Naruto felt Rei stir in his arms, and called the girls over to her. When Rei opened her eyes, she found the she was on Naruto's couch, with all of the girls looking at her worriedly, while Naruto looked at her with a mix of pride and confusion.
"Well, Rei-chan. You gave the girls a little scare back there, but you have made me and Kyuubi proud." Naruto said.
"What are you talking about, Naruto-Niisan?" Hotaru asked. Naruto just grinned and shook his head.
"Rei-chan, when you did the Hi Kaji no jutsu, what did you do different before you did it?" Naruto asked. Rei looked at him for a while and then thought about what she did. Her eyes then widened as she remembered what happened.
"Umm... I kinda used my senshi powers to boost up the Hi Kaji no jutsu. And the flames that turned blue. Why?" she asked. Naruto thought for a moment.
"Well, I'm proud of what you did, because what you did was make a B-rank jutsu, into an entirely new one, an S-ranked jutsu. The highest level of jutsu ever created. I only have seven S-ranked jutsu, and yours is powerful." Naruto said, causing all of the girls' eyes go wide. Ami then decided to ask a question she wanted to know.
"Naruto-kun, can you tell us the rank of the jutsu you taught us?" she asked. Naruto nodded and looked at Makato.
"Mako-chan, the Chidori was one of my sensei's original jutsu, is a B-ranked assassination jutsu. Once you get stronger, I will teach you as best as I can, my sensei's most powerful jutsu, the S-ranked Raikiri. Mina-chan, the Arashi no Yaiba is a B-ranked jutsu, once you grow stronger, and have some more control, I think you may be able to learn a jutsu that took the creator three years to master. Ami-chan the Daibakufu no jutsu is an A-ranked jutsu, and when you're stronger, I'll teach you an S-ranked jutsu. Usagi-chan, I'm proud to tell you, that the Meton, Tsuki Ryu Endan is an S-class jutsu; the only Meton jutsu that is more powerful is the one my sensei didn't teach me yet. I will teach something you will like, or help all of you to create a new jutsu, like Rei-chan has. Rini-chan, Hotaru-chan, the Meton, Koutetsu Kobushi is a C-rank jutsu, when you get older, you will definitely learn ones that are more powerful, but today, you all get to learn the Kage bunshin no jutsu!" Naruto told them, which earned him an "Alright!" from the girls.
"But, it's too late for that, so we'll have to continue this next time. Since we have spent too much time on the ranking of jutsus, we'll have to continue this tomorrow morning at six am sharp, any questions?" he asked. When none came, he sighed. "Ok, your dismissed." and they all got ready to leave.
"Aniki, you said you were going to ask her out, why don't you ask her right now." Hotaru asked her surrogate older brother. Naruto blushed as he began walking towards the object of his affection, beginning to leave.
"Uh, Rei-chan? Can I talk to you for a bit?" he stammered out. Rei just nodded, confused at why he would need to talk to her. They went outside to talk privately, unaware that Hotaru, and the other girls trying to listen to what they were talking about.
"What did you want to talk about, Naruto-kun?" Rei asked, immediately catching what she just said. 'Oh my god, did I just say Naruto-kun! What is he going to think now?'
'Did she just call me Naruto-kun?' Naruto asked himself.
"Hurry up, Kit, ask your mate out before you lose your nerve." He heard Kyuubi said.
"Um, Rei-chan, wouldyouliketogooutwithmefridaynight?" Naruto asked quickly.
"Um... what?" Rei asked, not understanding what he said.
"Would you like to go out with me Friday night?" Naruto asked slower. Rei's eyes widened.
'What do I do? Naruto just asked me out. Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!' Rei thought to herself.
"Oooh, say yes Rei, say yes!" Usagi said, even though they couldn't hear her.
"Say yes, say yes, say yes." was the mantra of the girls.
"Um... sure. I'd love to go out with you Friday night, Naruto." Rei said, gaining a squeal from the girls inside the apartment, loud enough for Rei and Naruto to turn and see them.
"I'll pick you up at seven?" Naruto asked. Rei nodded and they shared their goodbyes and she left. Naruto came back into his apartment to look at all of the girls, who were grinning at him.
"What are you all looking at?" he asked. The girls just continued to grin at him, while Hotaru and Rini jumped onto his shoulders.
"Naruto-niichan got a date!" Rini yelled into his ear while Hotaru quickly went into 'girl mode' and started to ask him what he was going to wear. After about ten minutes, Naruto and the rest of the girls were sweat dropping at the two younger girls.
"Please stop now, we still need to continue training." Naruto said, trying to get control back.
"But niichan, you just said that training was over, what is left?" Rini asked, clearly not wanting to continue her training for the day. Naruto sighed.
"The training is actually for Hotaru. The 'Outer Senshi' are still on the hunt for Hotaru-chan. I need to train her to make sure that she can protect herself, but she needs to unlock her senshi power." Naruto explained. "Imouto, I need you to concentrate on your precious people. It may help you unlock your power."
Hotaru nodded, and started to concentrate. 'Rini-chan, Ami-chan, Usagi-cha, Rei-chan, Minako-chan, Mako-chan, Naruto-niichan, Tou-san, Kaa-san, Luna, and Artemis.'
Suddenly, the insignia for Saturn was glowing on her forehead. In a flash of bright light, Tomoe Hotaru transformed into Sailor Saturn, her uniform the same as the others, but at a shade of blue, the same as Naruto's eyes. In her hands, was a powerful looking glaive.
" Wow, Hotaru-chan, I never knew you could end up with such cool weapon." Naruto said. Hotaru smiled at her surrogate older brother while he went to a scroll and summoned a glaive of his own. He then took Hotaru in the back yard, while the rest of the girls came to watch. Once outside, Naruto go into a stance where his left foot was in font of him, while his right foot was parallel with his right shoulder. His arms about a foot apart from the other, with his right hand just six inches from the blade of the glaive.
" Lesson one, stance. The stance and style I'm goin to teach you is an ancient style called the Gintsuki no Daigeki (1). This style is pretty hard. Anyways, let's start."
Friday
Naruto and Hotaru had jus finished their practice for the day. Naruto had found out that Hotaru was like him n a lot of ways; she soaked in the style like a sponge to water.
' This was the perfect style to teach her. Since Gintsuki no Daigeki is a style for one matched against many.' Naruto thought o himself as Hotaru detransformed.
" Ok Aniki, it Five o' clock. You have to meet Rei-chan in two hours so get ready." Hotaru told him. Naruto looked towards his little sister and smiled.
" I know Hotaru-chan, but wear are you going to be while I'm on my date?" he asked, Hotaru then told him her plans of going to Usagi's house to study with Rini. Naruto nodded ad went to get ready.
One and a half hours later, Naruto found himself half way to Rei's house. He looked up to the temple that her grandfather own and gulped, this was his first date. He sighed nervously and walked up the stairs and knocked on the door to reveal Rei dressed in a tight red blouse, blue jeans, knee-length boots, and red earrings. Naruto blushed a little when he saw her, causing Rei to laugh.
" Where are we going Naruto?" Rei asked. Naruto just grinned at her and said.
" Its a secret." He then led her towards the park.
At the Park
Naruto led Rei through the trees of the park, until he came across a tall plumb flower tree. The flowers of the tree were already in bloom, creating a beautiful scene. What Rei just noticed as they walked closer to the tree was a picnic basket on top of an unfolded picnic blanket. She turned to Naruto to see him smirking and leading her towards it.
" I thought that this would be good for a first date. I made some bento with some fried rice, some barbeque pork, and the best thing I can cook that my ba-chan taught me, shrimp dumplings." Naruto said, as he handed a bento to the raven haired beauty. Rei looked to see that the food prepared for the two of them looked delicious and also smelled deliciously. After they had eaten the food, which was a good as Rei thought, Naruto led them up the plum flower tree by controlling his chakra enough to carry the both of them. Once they reached the top of the tree, Naruto looked to the girl next to him. Rei's eyes were wide at the scene of the sundown they saw.
" Its beautiful..." Rei said to him. Naruto nodded, the sun was going down fast, and his plan would be complete. " Naruto-kun, do you think we can go down now?" she asked him.
" Not yet, look over there." he said and pointed to the right. She looked right in time to see a colorful explosion burst into the sky. Rei looked to Naruto as he grinned at her. I always wanted to do that for a first date. But it's not over, look." he pointed, and sure enough, other fireworks came up, forming words when they exploded.
Rei-chan, listen to this song:
Natsuhiboshi naze akai
Yuube knashii yume wo mita
Naite hanashita
Akai me yo
Natsuhiboshi naze mayou
Kieta warashi wo sagashiteru
Dakara hanashii
Yume wo miru
The fireworks ended with a burst of red and blue. After that, Naruto led Rei down he tree and ended their date at her door step.
" I hope you ha a good time tonight, Rei-chan." Naruto said to her. Rei smiled.
" Of course I did, Naruto-kun. I had a great night, and I loved the song to."
" Yeah, I learned that song from an important friend named Sumaru. He saved my life, and I helped his village, along with some of my best friends." Naruto explained. Rei nodded and leaned towards him.
Naruto nervously leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips, sending both of their stomachs flipping. After there kiss, both of them were blushing furiously. Naruto then turned to her ear and whispered.
" Good night, my Summer Star, I hope you have a good night." causing Rei to blush as she said her goodbye and went into her house, while Naruto went to his home.
On the way to his apartment, Naruto saw Hotaru going into her house; she waved to him and went over to him.
" Aniki! How did your date go? I saw the fireworks! The song was so great! Did you two kiss again?" Hotaru asked. Naruto just nodded and smiled at her.
" It was good, I know, thank you, and yes. Now, don't you think you should go to sleep? You have training tomorrow at six am." Naruto said, causing Hotaru to pout.
" But Nii-san, you just had your date, shouldn't you have a day off?" she whined.
" No whining, you need to train to get stronger than the evil people, but we might end early tomorrow and have some fun." Naruto said as he left, saying "goodnight, Imouto." Both of them unaware of the red eyes of one of the figures that were watching them.
" It seems that we've finally found you, Naruto-kun. Come Kisame."
