Chapter 6 -

Naruto rolled his eyes at the mission, walking dogs, but before they got their temporary team member, Anko had said, "Don't think of this as a chore. Think of it as a double mission where you're supposed to guard unruly customers, while we check out the next target for our ongoing mission."

They then had met their temporary member, Kabuto. He seemed to be friendly enough and didn't seem to mind doing the D ranked mission. Naruto had purposely picked the giant bulldog as the dog he would walk. This served two purposes, first it would be a guise for him to get onto the property that they wanted to test the defenses of. Second it would also be a good workout for him.

Naruto had let himself be pulled onto the property several times and found that he could get quite close to the residence before the guards would actively try to stop him. Finally the guards had had enough of the dog straying onto the property and cast a genjutsu on the dog to keep it off the property. Also Kabuto offered to trade dogs with Naruto, so that he wouldn't get in trouble for not being able to control the dog.

When they returned they found Kakashi, another jounin, Sasuke and Kabuto's teammates in the mission room. Naruto also noticed that Sasuke wore several scratches on his face and arms, while holding a cat. A rather large woman came up to Sasuke and took the cat exclaiming, "My poor Tora… Mommy missed you!" She the proceeded to nearly squeeze the life out of said cat, much to Sasuke's obvious pleasure.

Sarutobi smiled and said, "Good job in completing your mission, joint team. Tora successfully captured and returned. You may go. I see that your other member has completed his mission. You are also dismissed."

Kakashi, Sasuke and Kabuto's team left the room. Anko then spoke up and said, "Mission successful and secondary objective completed."

Iruka looked at her and at the signed scroll. He then looked at Anko and asked, "What secondary objective?"

Hiruzen chuckled and replied, "Anko's team has an ongoing secondary mission and that is all you need to worry about. I take it I will get a couple reports in a few days?" Anko nodded and then he said, "Very good, I look forward to your report and the accompanying complaint." He then chuckled and dismissed the trio.

Two nights later Anko, Azula and Naruto were dressed in complete black outfits which included ski masks that covered them from head to toe. It was four am in the morning and none felt tired, but they knew that this was the best time to pull off their mission. They stood on a tree right outside the estate that they had walked the dogs past a couple days ago. Naruto made a hand sign that pointed to two guards, one was apparently starting to nod off. The other was busying himself what appeared to be busy work, so as to stave off sleep. Azula pulled out a couple of senbon from a special sheath and threw them at the guards. Both jumped for at the sudden pain, but then slumped over quickly. Naruto noticed the Leaf headbands on both, but didn't appear to care that they had just attacked fellow Leaf shinobi.

Azula retrieved the senbon and checked their pulses. She then nodded and the trio proceeded into the house via a second story window. They immediately stopped when they saw a cloaked figure moving around the hallway. They melded into the shadows and watched the person with an ANBU mask pass them by. They waited five excruciating minutes after the person had rounded a corner to begin to move. They then proceeded to what appeared to be a master bedroom and quickly went in and closed the door behind them. They found a sleeping girl who was rather pale, but also seemed to be in either pain or was having a nightmare. Naruto looked sadly upon the girl, but knew he had a job to do. He pulled out a drugged senbon and pricked the girl's neck, thus assuring her slumber. He then proceeded to put her on his shoulder and found that she was lighter than she appeared to be.

The trio waited for the next ANBU guard to check on the sleeping girl, which this time was Azula transformed into the girl. They then left five minutes later with the girl on Naruto's back, the same way that they came in.

The next morning Sarutobi was smiling beneath his calm exterior. The man before him was the acting head of the Karuma clan. The problem was that the clan heir was missing. While Sarutobi knew where the girl was, he wasn't going to the let the information go easily. He then asked, "So you say that the clan heir was kidnapped either last night or early this morning?"

The man nodded and then replied, "Yes the ANBU reported that she was sleeping at four this morning and that was the last time she was seen, until the next round at about four-thirty in the morning. You must put out a search for her, least the Edo be released and it might be as bad as 'that' child releasing the Kyuubi."

Sarutobi scowled, but said nothing, since it was a closed meeting, thus talking about Naruto's condition was allowed. He then asked, "So when was your clan going to comply with the requested changes in security and also keep Yakumo's appointments?"

"What do those things have to do with the abduction of our clan heir?" the man asked.

Sarutobi furrowed his brow and replied, "It has everything do with both why she is missing and why your compound was hit this morning. I am sending a team to test all the clan compounds that failed to send me a new security assessment. The only ones that I know that I'm going to leave alone for now are the Uchiha, since Sasuke only needs to defend himself. The Hyuuga, who sent me one within an hour of receiving the request, the Aburame, who claimed that their insects will help them and left it at that and finally the Nara, who said it would be too troublesome to send more than and I quote, 'it is too troublesome to come up with something like that and if they want to take the deer, we can track them down fairly quickly.' So since you and some of the other minor clans refused to send me revisions to your security measures. I will be testing the other clans, but those who did not respond will be tested first. Now about your heir, Yakumo, she is fine and getting the assessment that we agreed upon over a month ago."

"You ordered that. We never agreed to it and Yakumo is in the picture of health," the Karama man declared.

"Unkai, you know that Yakumo's welfare has never been your priority. You only look out for the clan's best interest or so you think," Sarutobi explained.

Naruto sat watching the girl sleeping intently. Azula and Anko both leaned against the wall and they still wore the dark outfits, but had pulled off the ski masks to reveal their faces. The girl in the bed groaned lightly and shifted. Naruto moved closer and smiled when her eyes flittered open. He then proclaimed, "Hey guys, she's awake!"

Azula sighed and then said, "No need to scare the girl, Naruto." She then moved to the bedside and asked, "How are you feeling Yakumo-sama?"

Yakumo looked around and saw that she was hooked up to an IV. She looked at the smiling boy and felt his smile becoming contagious. She then replied, "I feel better than I've felt for a while, but why do I feel like this Naruto boy is about to make me happy?"

Azula chuckled and replied, "That's because he's an idiot and they make everyone feel good."

Naruto scowled at Azula and said in an annoyed tone, "Azula-chan… that wasn't very nice."

She then ruffled Naruto's hair and said, "Yes, but that is why I love you, Naruto-kun."

Yakumo blushed at the open showing of affection between the two and felt a little embarrassed to be present while these two were flirting. Anko smirked and then said, "Watch what you're doing or you might add yet another girl to your harem, Naruto-kun…" Anko's tone left the impression that she wanted to be part of the harem and Naruto missed what Anko had implied.

Naruto looked at the girl who began to turn a shade of bright red. He began to panic and exclaimed, "Hey we need to get the nurse… she seems to be getting a temperature." Naruto knew that he might be causing the girl some discomfort, but it was for her own good. He touched her head and she let out a sigh. He smirked and said, "She is definitely burning up. We should get the nurse quickly."

Azula rolled her eyes and then said, "Down boy, you can't have her. At least not yet…" The last part was just a whisper, but brought a smirk to Azula's face.

Naruto pouted and Yakumo looked on in awe at the audaciousness of the girl. Her jaw was open, but then nearly wet herself when Naruto replied, "But Azula-chan… Hinata-chan and Anko-chan might get lonely…"

Anko was on to the game he was playing, so she decided to play along. She put her index finger up and said, "First, she is clan heir."

Naruto shrugged his shoulders and said in retort, "So, Hinata-chan is too."

Azula shook her head and explained, "No, Hinata gave up the title of heir so that she could marry us. I'm not so sure that Yakumo-sama is willing to give up her title."

Anko then put up her middle finger to join the index and said, "Second, we're not even sure that she would be willing to share our Naruto-kun."

Yakumo was sputtering, but then asked, "Are you serious that this boy has hooked three women?"

Naruto shrugged, but Azula smirked, and replied, "Well… Hinata and I both love this dolt, but Anko-sensei likes to play with people. I would have to tell you that if you wanted to join us, there would be things that you would have to do."

Yakumo seemed intrigued and asked, "Like what?"

Naruto sighed and then explained, "First we would have to go on a date, just you and me. We would then have to go on a date with Azula and Hinata both in attendance. You would have to meet both of their standards and we would have to meet yours. I really don't understand all that is involved, but the basics are that we would have to be able to get along and you would have to join my clan and leave your own."

Yakumo swallowed hard and then asked, "Would we be married and have to carry out the consummation of said marriage right away?"

Azula raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you trying to leave your clan?" Yakumo nodded her head. Azula asked, "Why?"

Yakumo looked away and shame showed upon her face. She then replied quietly, "My uncle believes that I'm a monster and was responsible for my parents' deaths. I don't think that the clan wants me anymore."

Naruto growled at this, but said nothing. Azula on the other hand spoke up and said, "So they think that you're a monster?" Yakumo nodded with tears forming in her eyes. Azula then leaned over and kissed her on the lips. Yakumo's eyes went wide, but she didn't react otherwise. Azula chuckled and said, "A monster would have both embraced me and tried to devour me or it would have attacked me outright."

Anko began to laugh heartily, but then an idea hit her. She moved forward and pushed Naruto's face into the surprised girl's. He gave her a peck on the lips, but this turned the poor girl red and her eyes became heavy and headed to the back of her head. Her head hit the pillow and she was out for the count. Anko then said, "It would be a good time to leave. We've teased her enough and she can contact us if she wants too."

All three left the room and headed to the Hokage's tower. Yakumo wore a warm smile on her face while she was blissfully unconscious.

xxxxXXXxxxx

Naruto, Azula and Anko noticed the gray haired man leaving the Hokage's office. They also noticed the wing like emblem on his shirt. They allowed the angry man lots of room to leave the tower before entering the office.

Naruto's face turned happy upon entry and he said, "Hey Jiiji. So who was the grump-pus?"

Hiruzen chuckled at Naruto, but then replied, "That Naruto-kun was the acting head of the Kurama clan. He's a little annoyed at your team's infiltration and extraction of his niece."

Anko laughed, but it held no mirth. She then said, "Right, the girl was emaciated, dehydrated and malnourished. She is doing better now that she is in the hospital. She might also put forth a request to leave her clan join the Uzumaki clan." Naruto blushed at the statement and Anko began to chuckle, but this time with a little mirth.

Sarutobi sighed and said, "While I'm not against you having some relations with the clan heirs, Naruto. Adding them to your expanding list of girlfriends might cause me some problems in the long run and it would be difficult to be Hokage with so many brides."

Naruto scowled and then said, "We haven't even gone out on a date yet and it might not even work. You know that I haven't a clue about relationships, other than what Azula and Hinata explain to me, like I get any real observations on relationships. If I end up with one girl or forty, I promise to treat them with respect and love them all equally." Naruto crossed his arms and then appeared to pout.

Anko and Azula both came up beside the boy and kissed him on the cheek. Azula then said, "We shall see if she will join the marriage, but she will have the protection of the Uzumaki clan no matter what."

Hiruzen nodded and then took the folder that Anko handed him. He took a minute to review what was in the document and then asked, "Is this all accurate?"

Anko nodded and replied, "Down to the last detail. We need some sleep before we hit the Yamanaka clan, but we will be ready tomorrow night. Oh and by the way… I've been adopted by the Uzumaki and no, I won't be marrying the gaki, too many troubles with the other women in his life, so I'm the older sister."

xxxxXXXxxxx

Naruto stood over the unconscious body of Ino and a woman he suspected to be her mother. A blonde man in front of him was holding Anko with a kunai to her throat and glared at the intruders. "Anko, I don't know what you're trying to pull, but you need to tell your genin to stand down," he said authoritatively.

Anko nodded and Inoichi pulled the kunai from her throat. She turned the blonde and explained, "I'm here on orders from the Hokage to test your clan's defenses. Daffodil there failed, but you passed. We also took these scrolls from your vault." She then handed several scrolls over, while Naruto and Azula handed a bunch out of their own duffel bags. She shrugged and said, "At least you did better than the Kurama clan."

Inoichi looked dumfounded at the woman and asked, "That was you guys?"

Anko pulled off the mask she wore and smirked. "Yep, that was us," she exclaimed.

Naruto returned and said, "We put the Ino and your wife in their beds."

Inoichi glared at the boy and said, "You hurt my princess."

Naruto shrugged and replied, "Consider it repayment for the beatings she gave to me for insulting Sasuke. Also she was knocked out by a simple poison that will wear off in a couple hours."

Inoichi raised an eyebrow and asked, "She hit you for speaking out against the Uchiha boy?"

Azula replied, "Yes, until I taught him that he could defend himself against a girl."

"You know my clan is mostly a sensory type, right?" Inoichi asked.

"Yeah, and it's a bitch to try to avoid getting caught by them," Naruto replied in a joking tone.

"So what is the report going to be like?" Inoichi asked.

"You get marks for some of your family defenses, but the clan overall is going to get a failing mark. Mostly because you just happened upon us and were able to stop us, so luck doesn't count in my book or my report," Anko replied in a sorry tone.

Inoichi nodded and asked, "Good, I've been trying to get the elders to step up the guarding of the clan grounds, but why my flower shop too?"

Naruto raised a hand and replied, "I wanted to get a sample of this plant." He held up a bud from a rare plant from the locked stores in the shop.

Inoichi's eyes went wide and he asked, "Isn't that…"

Naruto smiled and nodded. He interrupted the question with, "Yep and I left the money for it in the register. I'm a shinobi not a common thief."

Inoichi nodded, but then said, "Be careful with that. I'm sure that your sensei has told you about that ingredient."

Naruto nodded and then disappeared. Anko then said, "I'll have one of the brats bring by a copy of my report and my suggestions, if you like."

Inoichi nodded and replied, "That would be good. I would say thanks, but I'm kind of angry that this happened."

xxxxXXXxxxx

Naruto put the flower bud in the refrigerator and then headed to the bedroom. Azula was standing there stark naked with an evil grin on her face. Naruto rolled his eyes and began to walk past her. She her face turned from a grin to a pout. "What's wrong Naruto?" she asked.

Naruto pulled off his shirt and turned to Azula. He then sighed and said, "I know what you want, but just don't feel right about it."

Azula closed the distance and wrapped him in a hug. She also pushed him back towards the bed. She kissed him and then said, "But Naruto… It won't hurt. At least it won't hurt you."

Naruto looked at her with hurt in his eyes and said, "I know, but it will and could hurt you."

"You know I love you, Naruto?" she asked and Naruto nodded.

"Yeah, I know it, but sometimes I just feel useless…" he replied in a depressed tone.

Azula put her fist on her hips and said, "What is this all about?"

Naruto looking full on at the naked Azula replied, "The way he looked at me. I've gotten tired of that. I really have."

(Lemon begins)

Azula smirked and grabbed the waistband of his pants and pulled. This quickly pulled off both his pants and boxers. She then put her hand out and pointed at his erection. She then said, "You're not that distracted that you can't react to me."

Naruto attempted to back up and crab crawled up the bed. He discovered that he ran out of room at the headboard. Azula crawled up the bed towards him like a predator on the prowl. He finally sighed and awaited his demise. Azula sensing his capitulation, quickly moved up and captured his lips. When their kiss ended he watched her do several hand seal and then say, "Protection technique."

She then moved his hand to her breast, which he began to massage. The kissed again and she began to rub herself along his shaft, making sure that he divided her lower lips. At first it was skin was sticking and then it would slip, but after a minute it became slicked with her juices. They continued to kiss and she slid up and then down in such a way that he impaled her. She gasped and bit his lip. She then began to slide up and down on him. All other cares forgotten while he began to thrust up and their rhythm began to become in sync.

After a while both of their breathing became erratic and Naruto said, "A… Az… Azula…"

She smiled at him saying her name and asked in a halting voice, "Yes?"

He squeezed her breast with his right hand and then thrust up hard. She felt him release in her, but then a sensation ran through her body. She felt herself clamp down on him and she scrunched her torso. She felt an exhilaration run throughout her body. Her breathing changed to raged gasps and she grabbed Naruto by the shoulders and nearly smashed their faces together. She kissed him for all she was worth and then collapsed on him.

In the back of her mind she felt him continue to spasm inside of her. She didn't care, since she had cemented what she wanted. He was hers, but she was his and now there was no going back. She nibbled on his ear and noticed the glazed look in his eyes, but didn't miss the stupid grin on his face.

She swallowed hard and felt the dryness in her throat and mouth. She kissed him and got off of Naruto. She turned and began to crawl towards the edge of the bed and the door only to find her hips captured. She then felt him enter her and begin to push into her. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she exclaimed, "Once wasn't enough?"

He continued to buck into her and she was enjoying every push. She hit her second orgasm before she knew it. He finally released and fell backwards about ten minutes later. She slowly got up and felt the pain between her legs causing her to walk in an exaggerated limp. She got to the kitchen and opened a bottle of water. She quickly drank it and took two more into the bedroom. She found Naruto smiling, but curled up into a ball. She smiled and let down her hair. She then moved onto the bed and slid in front of the blonde. She yelped when she felt him enter her yet again, but he didn't begin to pump, so she guessed that they were done for the night. She quickly fell asleep when he wrapped his arm around her.

(End Lemon)…

Naruto awoke to find himself still inside of Azula and his hand grasping her breast. He smiled and kissed her back gently. She then asked, "Do we have to do it so that I can get you out of me. It feels good, but also somewhat uncomfortable."

Naruto slipped out of her and then asked, "Why?"

Azula turned in the sheet and replied, "Why did I have you pull out or why did we make love?"

"Why did we make love?" Naruto asked.

"I wanted you and wanted to assert my place as your first wife. I know that we're young, but I felt it needed to be done," she explained.

"What about Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked.

"When she is ready she and you will do the same thing, as will any other women that we approve of," Azula explained.

"Won't you get pregnant?" he asked worriedly.

Azula shook her head and replied, "No, I shouldn't, but if I do that is fine. You are my husband and have been since soon after I came here. Also I timed it to my cycle and this is what is called a safe day."

Naruto nodded, but still didn't quite understand. He did like the attention though and had totally forgotten about the problem he was having with how Inoichi had treated him.

There was a banging on the door. Naruto got up and pulled on his boxers and pants. He then got to the door and ducked under a punch. He then stood up and his face was impacted by a female chest. He wrapped his arms around the person and grabbed their butt cheeks. The girl yelped and jumped back. He then took up a defensive stance. A blonde girl came charging at him. He blocked the poorly thrown punch and did a quick jab to the girl's stomach, which caused her to double over and then fall to her knees. "Ino why are you at my house attacking me?" he asked.

She gasped for breath and then replied, "Because, baka. You attacked me in my home last night."

Naruto offered a hand up and she took it. He then sighed and motioned for her to enter. She followed him into the room and looked around. She saw Azula clad only in a towel and scowled at her. Naruto pointed to the couch and pulled up a chair in front of her. He then explained, "You can't tell anyone, but it is was team, Azula, Anko-sensei and our job is to test clan compounds. We are authorized to use non-lethal force to get the point across. Now if a couple of genin and a jounin can infiltrate a clan compound the clan needs to fix their security problems. Your clan showed itself to be lacking. Anko-sensei will know better about what your clan did right and what it did wrong. My job is to plan the raid and execute it with Azula and Anko-sensei. Look sorry for hitting you with that senbon, but it wasn't lethal."

Ino blushed and then asked, "So are you going to hit Sasuke-kun's district."

Naruto looked at the girl in confusion and then replied, "Nah, teme is all by himself and to do so would defeat the purpose of the raids. He might be good, but he can't take on a jounin and two other genin by himself, no matter how good you or anybody else thinks he is. Anko-sensei is a slave driver and we need to get some more sleep. Is there anything else?"

Ino face turned to surprise when she turned to Azula and asked, "Are you okay?"

Azula looked at where Ino was pointing and saw dried blood and other bodily fluids that were on the inside of her leg. She then smirked and replied, "Oh that… Naruto-kun was exquisite." She then blushed.

Ino's eyes shot wide and then looked angrily at Naruto, while she exclaimed, "Naruto!"

Naruto put up his hands and jumped back from the angry blonde. He then asked, "You remember what happened when you attacked me at my door?" Ino nodded, but the fury in her eyes didn't diminish. He then continued, "You are in MY house and I can use lethal force to protect myself and members of my clan."

Ino looked at Azula who just nodded and said, "I am Naruto-kun's and he is mine to do with as we please. We're shinobi and it's all legal. We just wanted to experiment and got a little carried away."

Ino blushed and asked under her own breath, "I wonder how good he was?"

Azula walked over to Ino and whispered into her ear, "Like I said… it was exquisite. He is an animal in bed. I bet your Sasuke-kun wouldn't even know what to do with a girl or even a woman."

She then turned and headed back into the bedroom with a sway in her hips and a slight limp. Ino blushed and quickly headed towards the door in an effort to not show that what had transpired had turned her on. She would later find herself in her room saying 'Naruto-kun' over and over as she pleasured herself to the vision of Naruto. She would also afterwards wonder why she called out Naruto's name instead of Sasuke's.

Hinata came by Naruto and Azula's apartment. She had to question if Azula had moved up the time schedule and Azula admitted that talking with the Kurama girl had gotten her all worked up and with Naruto being troubled she felt it was a good relaxer for the both of them. Hinata while flustered still wanted to wait for her Naruto and got Azula to promise to wait a couple of months before they engaged in love making again, to which Azula agreed.

The next couple months had the team working with other teams and also there were the dates with Naruto, Yakumo, Azula and Hinata. While Yakumo admitted that she was endeared to Naruto, she wasn't sure that she was ready to have a relationship with the boy other than to be friends right now. They would continue to date and see where it headed.

After about the fourth month the team had to deal yet again with Sasuke. While they had several mission with him before, this time he had requested a C ranked mission and the Hokage wanted to have Anko along to keep an eye on the boy. They were given a mission to protect a bridge builder. This was the start of something that would change both teams forever.

A/N: So here was the new chapter. I hope you enjoyed it. To answer a question before you ask. Yes, Azula is still up to some of her tricks and had more than one reason for sleeping with Naruto. While she does love him, she wanted to cement the bond with him and assure in her mind her place with him. She also wants him to be there for her unlike most of the people she had before her. She suffers from abandonment issues, while she understands that in reality her friends did what was right, she still needs the encouragement from Naruto to assure her self worth.

Yes Next chapter is the start of the Wave Arc. If you are worrying that Ino will join, don't I was just putting some fun in at her expense. Azula loves mind games just as much as Anko, so watch for mind games to be played at other's expense. Yakumo will be part of the harem in name only, for now. She is a love interest, but not going to be one of his lover at this time. Sorry for no Hinata time, but we will fix that when we get back from Wave and go into the Chuunin Arc. After that I have plans to take this story somewhat off the reservation and take it fully into it's own with only some references to canon.

Darksnider05: Yes, I know Sasuke wasn't so much of an… jerk, but that is the fun of writing. He will mellow, but I have not decided to stop his spin towards being evil.
