the naxt day hokage tower.

naruto met up with the rest of team seven at the hokage tower. hiruzen had requested that they come to his office to get ther mission. naruto walked up to the hokage. "hey jiji what you need."

sarutobi smiled. "hello naruto-kun. i called you here today to discuss a very inoprtant matter." everyone in the room stiffened as sarutobi continued. "you see for the past thirteen years konoha and iwa have been at a cease fire. but we never signed a peace treaty. as a part of this treaty the tsuchikage wants naruto to marry his granddaughter."

naruto looked at him confused. "uh he does know about the CRA right."

sarutobi nodded. "yes he does. he has agreed to the terms. his grandduaghters name is kurostuchi she will be waiting for you at the gates of iwa in a weeks time. you leave tommorow morning."

everyone nodded. but naruto seemed a little confused. "if iwa hates us so much why are they trying to go for peace."

sarutobi nodded. "becuase some new information has come to light about a group of S-rank criminals called the akatsuki. aperintaly they're after the jinjuriki and iwa is looking to start an alliance in order to protect their jinjuriki."

naruto nodded. "so when is the wedding."

sarutobi chuckled. "well thats all up to you two now isn't it naruto-kun."

naruto sighed. "atleast tell me i don't have to be part of the planning. teuchi-oji told me about it once. it sounded like hell on earth."

kiba luaghed."yeah some of the older clan members told me about it and i'm glad that it's a long way away for me." the three men in the room were all laughin when all of a suden the felt a sudden surge of KI coming from behind naruto and kiba.

they turned to see anko and saiya seething. both women cracked their knuckles. "whats so funny you guys." saiya said evily. all three men quiverd as a oni mask apeared over her head.

naruto started sweating and shook his head. "nothing saiya-chan nothing at all."

saiya went back to her normal self. "thats what i thought naruto-kun." all three of them sighed in relief.

sarutobi cleared his throat. "if thats all you are dismissed. meet at the front gate at the gates at seven." everyone nodded and left.

later konoha streets. 4:30

naruto walked down the street figureing he would stop and say by to tenten and ino before he left. he walked when he spoted tenten walking twords the training ground. he ran to catch up with her. when he got within earshot of her he yelled out. "hey ten-chan."

tenten looked behind her to see naruto. she waved to him to come over. "hey naruto-kun so what you up to."

naruto smiled. "i'm just on my way to go pack for my first mission."

tenten's eyes widened. "you got a mission outside of the village on your first go."

naruto grinned. "yeah if you wanna hear the detals then come with me so we can talk while my clones pack."

tenten thought for a moment. "alright." she put her finger on naruto's nose and smiled. "as long as you make dinner."

naruto just grinned at her. "it's a deal then. lets go."

naruto's house 30 minutes later.

naruto had just finished making dinner and sat down at the table with tenten. "so ten-chan how have you been latly."

tenten smiled. "good naruto-kun but i really want to hear about this mission of yours."

naruto scratched the back of his head. "oh yeah well you see i have to go to iw to get married to the tsuchikages grandduaghter."

tenten's jaw hit the floor. "what do you meen you have to get married."

naruto blushed. "yeah the tsuchikage wants to negoshiate a peace treaty with konoha and one of the conditions is that me and his grandduaghter get married. but he knows about the CRA and has agreed to its terms so it's okay."

tenten looked at him. "how can you say it's okay your beig forced to marry someone you've never even met before."

naruto put a strait face on. "simple it's my duty as a shinobi of konoha to do what is in the best intrest of the vilage as a whole."

"so you'll go as far as marring someone you don't love. i think thats just wrong. i mean can't the hokage pull some strings and get you out of this."

naruto sighed. "i'm sure he could but that would mean making someone else do it. and i can't ask someone to do something i wouldn't be willing to do myself."

tenten smiled. "thats whats great about you. you always look out for everyone else before yourself. so how long will you be in iwa."

naruto shrugged. "jiji said about two weeks at the least. i'm not sure with all the stuff we have to do it might take a month or so."

tenten looked into his eyes. "so where are the two of you going to be living afterwords."

naruto shrugged. "i would guess here since i still have my shinobi duties to attened to. plus i can't verywell take jiji's hat if i'm all the way in iwa."

tenten giggled. "still after hokage-samma's hat are you naruto-kun."

naruto chuckled. "ofcourse he has to retire some time and when he does i'm gonna be there to become the next hokage."

tenten smiled at him. "so whats gonna be the first thing your gonna do as hokage."

naruto got a big grin on his face. " thats an easy one i'm gonna give the civilian council a swift kick in the ass and remind them that this is a monarchy not a democrocy. let's face it if your not one of the higher up clans like the hyuuga and the uchiha. they screw us becuase we can't offer them more power. thats why i'm gonna master every jutsu i can so that they'll have no choice but to recognize me."

tneten got a grin on her face that rivaled naruto's. "that sounds awsome naruto-kun thay'll defanitly have to give you that hat if you can master atleast a thousand jutsu. so how many do you know so far."

naruto thought for a moment. "hmmm i'd say about ten. which means." he started using his fingers to count. "only nine hundred-ninty to go easy peasy."

tenten giggled. "yeah real easy naruto-kun. so what are you gonna work on next."

"thats easy i'm gonna pick up some scrolls from the uzumaki family library in uzugakure on my way back from iwa. there's supossed to be a whole vualt full of jutsu there."

tenten smiled. "you are planning on sharing those jutsu with me aren't you naruto-kun."

naruto grinned. "ofcourse ten-chan. so what you been up to this past week."

"well mostly training but i've been wanting to tell you something."

"whats that."

"it's about told me that they had seen a few people going by the name uzumaki somewhere in northerin fire country. i thought that maybe you'd want to know."

naruto smiled he might actually have some family to stay here with him. "did they give you a disciption."

tenten nodded. "the discriptions didn't sound like you though. it was two teenage girls with green eyes and long red hair. both wore green trench coats with red swirls on the back. thats what made me think they were telling the truth. since most people affiliate the red swirl with konoha instead of the clan it belongs to."

naruto nodded. "you said that they were in northeran fire country."

tenten nodded. "yeah aperantly they live there sellin explosive tags and storage seals for people with acess to chakra who don't want to become ninja. it's a small town called akuma no kokoro."

naruto nodded. "it's not gonna be easy finding them there."

tenten raised an eyebrow. "why not."

naruto sighed. "becuase theres a reason people call that place devils heart. that place is a safe haven for some of the most powerfull missing-nin in the world. it's a village that is made up of people of high rank in the bingo book as well as some of the most wanted criminals in the five great nations. the rules are simple there do whatever you want anyone is alowed in you just aren't alowwed to try and capture anyone who is there."

tenten stiffened. "so your telling me trying to track someone down there for a bounty is a suicide mission." naruto nodded. "then what would two teenage uzumaki girls be doing ther."

naruto looked at her. "you see years ago before me and you were born during the third great shinobi war my home of uzugakure was destroyed by kumo and iwa becuse they were scared of the uzumaki. after the battle with most of my family dead and the village destroyed my clan scattered it's self among the great nations mostly through out areas close to kiri and konoha." naruto paused giving tenten time to registure the information. "the village you speak of was constructed in the wake of the second shinobi war. so it would make sense that some of the uzumaki would go there to hide from iwa and kumo."

"so your saying that they went there out of necesity not becuase they wanted to."

naruto nodded. "if they are really only teenagers it's likly that there parents migrated there after the atack. and that the two of them were likly born there. either way i'm gonna go find them. if i can't convince them to come back with me the least i can do is meet them and keep in touch."

the two of them finished there meals without much more talk tenten then went home saying that she had training tommorow and needed rest.

konoha streets.

when naruto went to the yamanaka flower shop to see ino her father told him that she and her team had left on a week long training mission into the forest surounding konoha. so now naruto was just walking down the streets with nothing to do. that is until he saw anko walking twords him carrying a boux of dango. naruto smiled and waved to her. "hey anko-chan."

anko walked over to naruto smileing. "hey naruto-kun what you up to."

naruto smiled. "just walkin around. how bout we go to the hokage mountin it's gettinclose to sundown. and the sunset is beutiful from up there." anko smiled and nodded the two of them walking twords the mountan.

hokage mountan ten minutes later.

naruto and anko were sitting on top of the second hokages statue watching as the sun had just begun to fall over the horizan. anko smiled as she looked over at naruto. "you were right naruto-kun the sunset really is beutiful."

naruto smiled at her. "yes but not as beutiful as you." anko blushed naruto had never really been one for romantics so when he said that he knew he meant it. they sat there and watched until the sun had completly disapered and night taken over the sky.

naruto looked at anko. "anko-chan you know what i just realised." anko made a 'hmmm' sound. "this is actually our first date." anko smiled realiseing the same thing. "so are you excited to go to iwa tommorow."

anko smiled ."ofcourse i am it's been three years since i've seen kurotsuchi."

naruto nodded. "anko-chan do you think we can make a quick stop on the way i have a place i want to make a quick stop somewhere first."

anko raised an eyebrow. "that depeneds where is it."

"it's a small place called akuma no kokoro."

anko's face hardened. "why would you go there you do know what that place is right."

naruto became serious. "yes but i have been informed that there are atleast two uzumaki's there and i would like to check it out if you don't mind."

anko sighed. "okay but you'll have to go in alone so that i can watch out for kiba and saiya while you find them. i belive that you can take care of yourself."

naruto smiled grabbing anko and pulling her into a hug. "thank you ank-chan this means a lot to me. anko nodded into his shoulder as they sat there in eachothers enbrace.
