Sasuke was showered and ready to take Naruto out on a date. He had set up a picnic in training ground 9 and made sure that no one would go in there for the evening. Sasuke made his nervous way to Naruto's place. They had planned to tell Naruto's parents that they were just training together to save the embarrassment. When he knocked on the door, Kushina answered.

"Hi," Sasuke said. "Um, Naruto and I are supposed to be training together today."

Kushina nodded though Naruto hadn't said anything about training with Sasuke. She shrugged it off as she called Naruto down. Naruto raced down the stairs, jumping the last four. Naruto kissed her mother on the cheek before she left the house with Sasuke.

Sasuke could barely keep his eyes off her. Damn Kushina for buying her those clothes. They showed off too much skin and it was distracting him. He noticed that since yesterday she had put white tape on her hands, the left one ran past her elbow, the tape on her right arm stopped just below her elbow. Her delicate fingers peeked out from the top of the tape. Tape was also put on her legs. The left went from underneath her sandal to her mid calf and right went from underneath her shorts to her mid thigh. Her forehead protector was tied around her hips and her vest was unzipped. Her yellow hair was loose and hung to her waist as it usually did. He thought that she was beautiful in every way.

Naruto tried to understand what Sasuke saw in her. She wasn't that spectacular. She remembered the crush that she used to have on the Uchiha boy a couple of years back but she never took her crush as seriously as the other girls her age who would stalk him to no end. And seeing that Sasuke took no interest in the girls, she decided that he must play for the opposite team so she worked hard and eventually grew out of the crush.

When the two Chunin reached training ground 9, Sasuke led the way to the picnic he had set up. They laughed and ate together, having so much fun. Sometime during their little picnic fun time, Naruto had ended up on top of Sasuke, straddling his hips just like she had straddled Itami's in their battle. Their lips were connected and moved together as one. One of Sasuke's hands was tangled in Naruto's hair while the other roamed around her back and sometimes lower, squeezing her butt. Naruto's hands played with Sasuke's spiky hair and occasionally moved down his chest. When they broke apart they just smiled at each other.

Sasuke was pleased that his date with Naruto had gone so well and once again, he bowled his brother over in the lounge room. He gripped onto Itachi's shirt and shook him back and forth. "Itachi! She kissed me! And when I say kissed, I mean full on make-out session!"

Itachi pushed his brother off of him just like he had the other day. "And?" He asked.

"And, it was great!" Sasuke said. "She even said that we should go out again some time!" Sasuke walked out of the room, talking to himself about his fun time with the Jinchuuriki. Itachi just shook his head. The Hokage would find out sooner or later about Sasuke and Naruto and Itachi was worried about what would happen but he didn't voice his concerns. His brother was happy and actually enjoying his time with a girl and he wanted his brother's happiness to last, even if it meant that he would be in trouble from the person who ran the village.

Naruto was on cloud nine as she walked home. Her first kiss had actually been with Shikamaru but that had been just child's play. This was a kiss that she wanted to remember forever. When she got home, her parents were both asleep so she crept into her room and slept as well. The next morning she was once again rudely awoken by Anko but as always, Naruto won. Anko left shortly after, as was routine and Naruto got ready for her day. Anko was off on another mission assassinating whoever she had been told to assassinate so she was alone once again. She just roamed the streets, people watching and stuff. Sasuke fell into step with her and handed her a single red rose with a letter attached to it and then left, silently. She opened the letter and read it as she munched on some dango.

The letter read:

Meet me at training ground 6, 7PM sharp. Follow the lights.

-S.U.

Naruto knew where she was going at 7PM.

Naruto had seen Itami for the first time since her mission and decided to say hi. "So, how are you liking the Leaf Village?" Naruto asked, falling into step with the dark haired boy.

"It's quite nice. And the girls are nice too. You aren't too bad to look at either." Itami said, leaning backwards slightly to check out Naruto's rear.

She slapped him on the arm and he feigned shock. "Don't flatter yourself." Naruto smiled. Conversation flowed easily between them but Naruto had to leave when she realised that it was getting close to 7PM. They parted ways and Naruto went off toward training ground 6.

Sasuke's body shook with nerves but he managed to calm himself. He still had quite a ways to go. He had string up wires around a clearing in training ground 6. He had strung a long line of wire from the edge of the training ground all the way to the clearing where he had looped it around the tree tops and swirled it down the individual tree trunks but he wasn't quite the whole way around the clearing yet so it was back to work for the Uchiha.

The two Chunin had their date and just like the first one, it ended with kissing and groping. Naruto had been amazed with the lights though and told Sasuke how beautiful they were. Sasuke had just smiled. They had many more dates after that and it was on a date like any of the others that the Hokage found out.
