A.N-Thanks for the reviews guys. I'm glad you like the story. Let' me correct something first. Naruto is 17 years old, not 19. Sorry about the mistake. This chapter goes into a little more detail about Mai, Tai and Kai. Enough me blabbering. Let's get the show on the road.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto...but I do own Star Wars. evil laugh
--------------------------
Outside of the Hokage's office,
"Where is Naruto-kun? He is supposed to be here already," Yugao asked herself.
"You know how he is. He's probably jacking around, taking his sweet time. Then he'll come late and make up another one of his lame excuses," Sakura sighed.
"Hokage-sama is going to be pissed off. She wants our report in 5 minutes. What are we going to do, Sakura?" Yugao asked to her pink-haired comrade.
"I don't know, Yugao. Tsunade-sama is scary when she gets mad..." Sakura responded.
"SAKURA, YUGAO. GET IN HERE NOW!" Tsunade yelled through the door.
Yugao and Sakura looked at each other in terror. They gave each other a hug.
"Oh Sakura! This might be the last time I see you," Yugao cried," I just wanted to say that your one of my closest friends and I'll never forget you. But I have to confess. Do you remember that Halloween party you threw last year? The one where you nearly killed Raiza for throwing up on your bed. Well...it wasn't Raiza. It was me!" Yugao hugged Sakura tighter. "I'm so sorry!"
"WHAT?! I BEAT RAIZA TO NEAR DEATH BECAUSE OF THAT! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!," Sakura wrapped her hands around Yugao throat and began to choke her.
"MY ROOM STILL HAS A FUNNY SMELL! HOW COULD YOU?!" Sakura shooked Yugao like a rag-doll. Yugao face began to turn a purple color.
"Sa-Sa-Saku-Sakura," Yugao losing concisousness," I-I-cant-brea-breathe..."
"SAKURA, YUGAO!! YOU HAVE 2 SECONDS TO GET HERE BEFORE I PERSONALLY TEAR BOTH OF YOU APART LIMB BY LIMB," Tsunade roared. Immediately, she released her deathgrip of Yugao and rushed into Tsunade's office.
"Sorry, Tsunade-sama," Sakura bowed," I was just ge-"
"I don't want to hear your excuses. Give me your repor-...Wait. Where's Yugao and Naruto?." Tsunade demanded.
"I'm right here, Hokage-sama," Yugao mutterred. She crawled her way in the room.
Tsunade shook her head, "I don't even want to know. Sakura, just give your report and you can leave."
Sakura lowered her head," Ummm ok. Yugao, will you hand the Hokage-sama our report?"
Yugao raised her head,"I thought we didn't make-" Yugao fell back to the ground as Sakura hit her in the back of the head.
"SAKURA. GIVE ME THE REPORT NOW!" Tsunade screamed.
"I'm sorry. To tell you the truth, we don't hav-"
She stopped talking as smoke filled the room. "What the hell is going in here?" Sakura thought as she pulled out her katana. Yugao didn't do anthing because she was still recovering from being attacked by Sakura. Tsunade on the other hand already narrowed it down to two people. Whoever it was, they would get a surprise.
"Hey, Baa-chan," Naruto voice rang throughout the room.
Tsunade replied by throwing her sake glass at Naruto. Naruto skillfully dodged the glass. She saw he had on his foxy grin. Nice to see you too, Naruto.
"You haven't worked on that attitude problem, you old hag?" Naruto laughed. Once the smoke cleared, Tsunade noticed that Naruto wasn't alone. Two women, one blonde and one red-haired girl were hanging onto him by his neck. There was also a tall man leaning against the wall.
Sakura face face turned bright red. First Yugao. Now these two sluts. What am I going to do? She glanced towards Kai. He gave her a quick smile. Her face grew a brighter red. He's so cute. I just want to go kiss him.
"Well, Naruto. Who are your friends?" Tsunade asked curiously.
"This is Tai," He motioned to the red-haired women on his left. "This is Mai," Motioning to the blonde on his left," And that tall guy is Kai."
"Nice to meet you," Mai and Tai said, bowing their heads.
Tsunade just smiled. They are very pretty. Who know Naruto was such a fox...ok maybe he is a fox" She stood up," I'm Tsunade, Godaime of Konohakugure and one of the legendary Sannin. Nice to meet you also."
"Wow. A Sannin? I never heard of them before. Are they like a band or something?" Tai asked.
Tsunade nearly collapsed in shock. Naruto did fall, but quickly jumped right back up.
"WHAT?!," Naruto Uzumaki yelled," You have never heard of the Sannin?"
"I never heard of them either," Mai agreed.
"Calm down Naruto. I'll tell them," Tsunade said calmly though inside she clearly was mad. "The Sannin are one of the most powerful ninja in the world. There are three of them. I'm one. Jiraiya aka the Mountain Sage is one. And that bastard Orochimaru, regretably is one too."
"Is Jiraiya the same one who writes the Icha Icha Series?" Kai said out of nowhere.
"Yes, that pervert is the one who writes those pathetic pieces of crap." Tsunade grunted.
--------------------------
Somewhere in the village,
Kakashi Hatake was reading his beloved Icha Icha Paradise book for like the millionth time. But all of a sudden, he brang his hands onto his head and began to shake uncontrolably. "AAAAAAGH," he screamed in agony.
--------------------------
"AAAAAAGH," yelled Kai as he put his hands on his head. He fell to the ground and began to suck on his thumb. "Don't listen to her Kai. Don't listen. Icha Icha Paradise is the best thing ever. She's lying." He reached into his shuriken holster and pulled out a small red book. "Don't listen to that mean lady, my baby. She doesn't understand what joy you bring to people all over the world." He even started to caress it. "Wow. This guy is wierd," Naruto thought to himself," Maybe just as wierd as Kakashi-sensei."
"Damn, not another pervert. But he was so cute.." Sakura sighed.
"Ignore him. He's a huge pervert who loves those stupid books," Tai sighed.
"You should see him when he gets a new one. He go absolutely crazy." Mai nodded.
"Are you guys brother and sisters," Tsunade feeling a headache coming on, began to rub her temples.
"Oh no. We aren't related. We were orphans from Kirigakure (Village Hidden in the Mist). Me and Tai were best friends. We met Kai a year later. Soon, we became inseprateable and were taken in by a family from there. They took care of us and when we were older enough, they sent us to the ninja academy. We were the top of our class. Until one day, we heard about the final exam," Mai explained. Kirigakure was infamous for their 'test'. It involved a bloody fight between their genin, allowing them to kill each other to see who was the strongest. Then only that one genin would advance. Mai continued," Once we heard of that, we decided to run away. We couldn't kill each other. That was 7 years ago."
"After that," Tai chimed in," we wandered around. Not staying for long anywhere.Then we met our Mie-sensei 5 years later. She was a jounin from Amegakure. She took us in and trained us in the way of the shinobi. But there was an uprising, a poweral man camed and killed the leader, Hanzo. Mei-sensei fearing for our lives, begged us to leave the country. We followed her orders. She ended up dying, trying to protect the village. For 2 more years, we came and left villages. Neer staying in one place for long. Until we met Naruto-kun today. That's when he asked us to come back here to Konohagakure. That's it."
Tsunade could not help and feel sorry for them. They have gone through so much pain and suffering. Too much for kids their age. She looked at Naruto. Is this how Naruto felt?
Naruto meanwhile stood in silence. "Mai, Tai, and Kai. They are kind of like me."
"...One last question," Tsunade finally coming to a decision," Are you all ready to become shinobi of Konohagakure?"
The room became silent except for Kai's whispering to his book. Sakura put her hand over mouth in shock. Yugao fell asleep on the floor. Naruto looked at Tsunade, then back at Mai and Tai.
"What...did...you just say?" Tai muttered.
"I won't say this again. Do you want to become shinobi of this village. Yes or No?" Tsunade asked.
"But why are you doing this?," Mai blurted.
"You three seem like strong able ninja. Konohagakure could use people like you. I want you to stay here and live among us. We would be honored if you choose so." Tsunade smiled.
"Why should we stay here? You just insulted me and my precious books." Kai yelled, pulling himself together.
"I got an answer to that too. One: One of the strongest ninja here, Kakashi Hatake, has a huge collection of those tra...I mean books. He would be happy to have someone who can relate to him. And two: I can personally get you a signed copy of the next book coming out."
"THEN WE'RE STAYING!," Kai smiled.
"I agree with Kai. I'm starting to like this place." Mai smirked.
Tai turned to Tsunade," That's that. We're staying. We would be gladly become shinobi of Konohagakure."
"That's what I wanted to hear. I can't give you a headband yet, because we don't know how good you are. However, I will set up a test to measure your ranks in the village. "
"But Tsuna-...I mean Hokage-sama. Where will we stay?" Mai asked.
"I'll make arrangements with a local hotel. You can stay there until you find a house or apartment." Tsunade replied," Anymore questions?"
No one spoke up.
"Ok then. You may all leave." Tsunade finally said.
"YES!," Naruto squealed," Hey guys. why don't we go get something to eat?"
"That's a good idea, Naruto-kun." Tai kissed him on his cheek," I'm very hungry."
"Me too," Mai added in.
"You coming Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked the kunoichi.
"Nah, I'm going to head in early. I have to work at the hospital tomorrow. See you guys later." She disappeared.
"What about you, Kai?" Tai turned to the tall man.
"I'm good. I going to a bookstore to see if there are anymore Icha Icha books out!" Kai grinned as he jumped out the window.
"That just leaves Yugao-chan. Do you want to go get something to eat?" Naruto asked.
Somewhere deep in her mind, she heard a sweet voice. "Do you want to go get something to eat?" She instantly opened her eyes and smiled.
"If your going Naruto-kun, then I'll go," She jumped on his back and kissed him on his lips.
"All right then. I know the perfect place." Naruto finally as the entire group disappeared in a giant puff of smoke.
Tsunade reached into her desk and pulled out a spare glass and a bottle of sake. Making sure no one was around, he quickly poured her some and shot it down just as fast.
"I need that. Now time to look at their repor-...Wait a second.," She jumped up and ran to the window," NARUTO UZUMAKI, COME BACK HERE AND GIVE ME MY REPORT!"
------------------
"Hey old man Ichiraku! Another bowl of your miso ramen, please."
Ichiraku just smiled while he prepared another bowl," Just cause your best customer, I gonna make this one on the house. You just have to pay for the other 21 bowls."
"I will. I will," Naruto said estadically, waiting for the anticipation of the ramen. Tai observed Naruto in utter amazement. By Kami, How can you eat so much. He eaten 20 bowls already and hasn't even slowed down. HIs appetite is bigger than Kai's. She turned to Yugao, who was currently eating 11th bowl. Those two are exactly alike. Whats their secret?"
"Yugao-chan, what kind of ramen did you get this time?" Naruto curiously asked.
"My favorite. Pork Barbeque," She stated with happiness. It was widely known that Naruto was the world's number one ramen eating person in the whole world. What was not known is that Yugao Uzuki closely 2nd, but no one would know because she was so slim and beautiful.
"That's my favorite too. Hey another bowl of ramen," He said, putting down his now empty bowl," But make this like Yugao-chan's
"Naruto-kun," Mai, barely on her 2nd bowl, couldn't take it no more," Just how many bowls can you eat with out getting full?"
"I think about 30 or so," Naruto recieving his 23 bowl from a gleaming Ichiraku. I'm gonna be rich. With Naruto and Yugao, I can retire in peace!"
"30 BOWLS," Mai blurted," How...can you afford that?"
"I'm in ANBU. So I have a good income monthly." Naruto replied, then began to wolf down his precious ramen.
Mai grinned to herself. Naruto-kun is not only handsome, but has a good appetite and even better has amazing body.
Naruto finished his ramen in a record time. Mai expected him to order anoher bowl, but was surprised.
"I think I had enough, old man. That last one was the best yet," Naruto laughed, pulling several bills out his frog wallet," Will this be enough?"
Ichiraku studied the money very carefully,"You gave way to much. You only have to pay for 23 bowls.
Naruto laughed even harder," Your mistaken. We had 38 bowls."
"Wow Naruto-kun your such a gentlemen," Yugao jumped from her seat kissed him on his cheek. Naruto couldn't help, but admire how beautiful she was. Her beautiful purple hair flowing behind her. Her eyes were as black as the night, but beautiful nevertheless. Yugao-chan is so pretty.
"No problem. I take cherish my friends," Naruto gestured to everyone," You are all my friends,"
On top of that, he is very caring and takes cares of the people he loves. Naruto-kun is unbelieveble. Mai blushed.
"We owe you one, Naruto-kun," Mai and Tai squealed. They got on each side of Naruto and gave him a kiss on each cheek. HIs face turned a deep red. Ero-sennin would love to be in my position! It's like heaven!" Dirty thoughts began to flood into his mind, but he gained control over himself.
Grinning wildly, Naruto put his hands on his head," Where to now?" It's 9:30. The night's still young. How about we go get drinks? My treat."
"Sorry, Naruto-kun. I am going to the hotel. All that ramen is making me want to crash," Tai smirked, rubbing her toned tummy.
"Me too. We're really tired. Sorry Naruto-kun." Mai apologized, bowing her head.
"Its fine. By the way, where are you guys staying at?"
Mai thought for a moment," I don't know yet. Nobody has told us yet. Hokage-sama said she would take care of it."
"Sorry. I that I'm late. There was this little girl that was lost, so I decided to help her." Kakashi calmy said as he strolled into the resturant. He was wearing his usual clothing, with his headband slanted covering his Sharigan. His spiky silver hair stood on end. And in his right hand, there was a small yellow book with the title Icha Icha Beach Vacation.
"LIAR," Naruto yelled, but on in mind, he smiled. That's a new one. I'm gonna use it the next time. "What are you doing here, Kakashi-sensei?"
Kakashi closed his book and put back into his holster. Then he readjusted his headband. "I'm here to escort the lovely ladies to their hotel." Turning to face Mai and Tai. "You must be those lovely ladies, Mai-san and Tai-san. I am Kakashi Hatake, sensei to Naruto and Jounin of Konoha.. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too, Kakashi-sama." Mai bowed.
"No need for that. We're fellow shinobi. Call me Kakashi." He said smoothly.
"MY ENTERNAL RIVAL KAKASHI. YOUR YOUTHNESS BURNS BRIGHTLY TONIGHT. BUT NOT AS BRIGHT AS MINE!"
Damn, not him. Please not him," Naruto begged.
Shit. I thought I lost him!," Kakashi cursed.
"KONOHA'S GREEN BEAST. MIATO GAI!," As the green clad man jumped through the door and smiled, his teeth shining like always.
"I FOUND YOU KAKASHI. YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD RUN AWAY FROM ME! MY YOUTHFULNESS WAS ABLE TO SEE THROUGH YOU TRAP AND LED ME OVER HERE. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF?" Gai yelled.
"What? Did you say something say something?" Kakashi muttered, trying to push Gai buttons. It succeed because Gai was so off guard that he jumped back out the window.
"YOUR LOSING YOUR YOUTHFULNESS, KAKASHI! I WOULD STAY HERE AND TALK TO YOUR UNYOUTHFUL PERSON, BUT I HAVE TO GO RUN 500 LAPS AROUND THE VILLAGE AS PART OF MY PUNISHMENT FOR LOSING THE CHALLENGE. FAREWELL KAKASHI," Just as fast as he appeared, he left in a huge trail of dust.
There was total silence inside Ichiraku's. Mai and Tai were trying to comprehend just just all happened.
"Was it just me," Tai stammered,still not believing what just happened," Or did a crazy guy where a green jumpsuit come in here?"
"No. That's Miato Gai. My enternal rival," Kakashi said in disgust. "He's way over the top in everything he does," Changing his voice completely from a angry violent one to a soft caring one," Well we should be on our way. Mai-san, Tai-san. See you around Naruto. Yugao." As he walked out of Ichirakus with Mai and Tai in hand.
"Bye, Naruto-kun, we'll see you tomorrow!," Mai blew him a kiss.
Naruto laughed hysterically. Its just an intresting day. He took an A-ranked missions. Yugao gave him CPR. He met three new friends who now wer his comrades. He ate his favorite thing in the world, ramen. Then the whole Gai thing. This is one of my better days. He thought to himself.
"Naruto-kun," Yugao wrapped her arms around his neck,"Where do you want to go?"
"Let's go to that bar by your house. I need a couple glasses of sake to calm my nerves," Naruto finally said.
"Oh Naruto-kun. That's a great idea," She let go of him and hooked her arm with his.
Naruto blushed lightly as he led Yugao outside.
-----------------------------
An hour later, Naruto walked out of the bar with Yugao on his back. They He had 3 glasses while only Yugao had one. They spent most of the time just talking to each other everything: Ramen, favorite jutsu, friends, what was really under Kakashi's mask. They enjoyed having each others company.
It was 10:35. Naruto decided to take walk Yugao home. Not that no one would try anything. Yugao was strong enough to hold her own against several dangerous ninja. But he felt uncomfortable letting her go alone. Naruto had a grin on his face while Yugao smiled back at him. Naruto arrived at her apartment and climbed the stairs, still having Yugao on his back. Two stories later, he walked her to her door and let her climb off his back. Yugao took advantage of her position and squeezed his butt right before seprating. Naruto jumped and looked at her, but all she did was giggle like a school girl.
"You didn't have to carry me all the way here, Naruto-kun." Yugao laughed.
Naruto grinned," It's fine."
Yugao wrapped her arms around Naruto. "Is there anything I can do to repay you?," She winked.
"Ummm no. Like I said, I didn't mind at all," Naruto hesitated.
"Are you sure? I think I have something," She smiled.
"What is it, Yugao-chan?" Naruto curious to find out what in hell was she talking about.
Yugao didn't respond...well not in words anyways. She leaned in and kissed Naruto on his lips. But it didn't stop there, Yugao's tongue slipped through and playfully touched Naruto's. He placed her hands around her waist and and picked her up and pushed her against the door. Yugao straddled her legs around Naruto, allowing her better axcess into his mouth. They kissed for what seemed an eternity. Slowly Yugao broke away. She wore a very seductive grin.
"Why don't you come in Naruto-kun? There's more than just that."
Naruto was about to say something, but didn't have time as Yugao grabbed him aggressivly by his shirt collar and led him inside of her apartment.
--------------------------
