Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto or Kakashi. Hubby says I can't have them. Something about safety hazard or some such. Not sure what he means by that. But I told him since Kishimoto killed Kashi off why would he cared if Kashi moved in here with us?
Kakashi: NANI! Kishimoto did what? (Drops his book)
Rose: Don't worry Kashi. You're still alive to me. See? (Points to typed page)
Kakashi: And this is better how. . ..
Rose: (pouts) Go find Naruto and tell him he better not eat all my boy's Ramen again. Hubby was ticked last time he did that. Ok Folks remember to review and I hope this answers some questions for you regarding all those spying devices.
Chapter Eighteen: The Meeting
A need for food and the bathroom brought them out of the bedroom. Kakashi showered as Naruto made them something to eat. Then Naruto showered and they got ready for the guests they were expecting that day. Naruto decided, while he was showering, the only really bad part of Baa-chan's plan, other than being blackmailed into it, was the fact that the child would still be his no matter what form he used. And he knew without a doubt the villagers would think the child was Kyuubi touched. There was no way they would accept a child from a demon container.
Finally the bell on the gate rang and Kakashi went out to invite their guests inside. The rookies showed up with their teachers one group at a time. The first to arrive was Asuma's team. Ino looked at the ground as she walked, not knowing what she was going to say to explain her rudeness the day before but knowing she had to apologize to both of them. Shikamaru carried the bag with all the devices they had found at his place when they'd strip searched it. Chouji had brought three huge platters of bar-b-que from his parents restaurant as both food for the meeting and a house warming gift for Kakashi and Naruto. Asuma was wondering if Kakashi would let him smoke inside the house. He got his answer when Kakashi pointed to the ground with his hand on the door knob.
"Kyuubi doesn't like the smell of the cigarettes," he said. "She gives Naruto a bad time whenever she has to put up with something she doesn't like or he does something she doesn't like. He always gets her back for tit but still I don't want to see him uncomfortable if it can be avoided. So no smoking in the house. I'll put an ashtray out here for you as soon as I can get one and make a cover so you don't get wet when it rains but you'll have to live with it until we get everything straightened out with our lovingly meddling Hokage."
"Meddling Hokage," laughed Asuma, dropping the cigarette and grounding it out with his heel. "That's a good one. I like it."
Kakashi opened the door and escorted them into the sitting room where they had decided to hold the meeting. Just as he did so, the bell rang again and he went out to escort team eight inside. Kurenai was looking curious as to why she had been invited. She knew Kakashi really didn't like women in his home and this wasn't just being invited to his apartment with Asuma. She knew this was the Hatake Clan House and therefore she had never thought to ever be invited inside the walls that surrounded it let alone into the house itself.
Kakashi correctly deduced her problem but waited to explain things until they were safe from prying eyes and ears. At the front door, he stopped her from entering but let the kids go on in where Naruto was waiting to welcome them. "I know you are wondering why you were invited since it's well-known I don't like women in my dwellings. It's simple really. I never let any woman inside the apartment or here because I didn't want the gossips to build mountains out of molehills. Since I wasn't interested in a relationship with any of the women I know, it seemed best to keep you all at arms length but now I have my partner and so the gossips can't say anything anyone would believe. So you're welcome here."
Kurenai got a curious sparkle as she contemplated his words. Finally she asked, "This is about Naruto and the betting pool?"
"Hai. That and spoking Tsunade-sama's wheels. She has done enough manipulation and I want to make damn sure she doesn't do it to anyone else."
Kurenai nodded her understanding. The kids had already told her about the spying devices and the betting pool was old news to her as were the many and varied attempts of the Hokage to hook Kakashi up with his student. She didn't know if Kakashi was really into the teen or not but she did know it wasn't the Hokage's place to interfere like she had been. Since Anko was her best friend and definitely bi-sexual she wasn't bothered by the fact that Kakashi was gay or even that Naruto was also. Kakashi opened the door for her as the bell on the gate rang again. This time it was Iruka with Anko and Gai with his team of kids. He let them in the gate and then locked it using chakra to reinforce the lock. This way if anyone was watching they would not be able to enter after everyone was inside the house. He also touched the wall seal which would activate it preventing anyone from going over the wall to gain entry. A muffled thud suggested someone had tried to do just that.
Then he escorted his guests inside. Naruto came forward to greet his friends warmly while carrying a tray of warm treats for munching on while they discussed the events and how to get even. "Hi guys," he said grinning at them all.
"Naruto, you were right about Sakura. She was definitely going to meet you at Ichiraku's in an hour to discuss things," said Iruka.
"Knew she would. My clone will meet her. He's fresh so she shouldn't be able to displace him easily so long as he pays attention. Since he knows he's to distract her he will not get so lost in the ramen today."
"Yeah right," smirked Anko. "You with ramen in front of your nose is a well known trick, Gaki."
"Only because I let it be Anko-nee."
Once in the sitting room they all took a seat and only Kurenai was surprised when Naruto sat on the ground between Kakashi's legs. Ino got a little nervous when she saw Kakashi put his hands on Naruto's shoulders but she'd done a lot of thinking last night after Shikamaru had told her off and they had found all those invasive things. Today she was determined to keep herself in check and give them a chance to show her that their relationship was not as unnatural as she thought it was.
Before we get started, Shino would you send some of your bugs out to thwart any spies that make it past or around my wards, please?" Kakashi asked. "I really don't want word of what we discuss to leak out before we are ready for it to."
Shino nodded and a black cloud lifted from his palm to take off through the window Asuma opened for them since he was closest to it.
"Ok," Naruto said when everyone had found a seat. " now that we are secure, we asked you all here because we need help to make sure Baa-chan doesn't do to anyone else what she has done to us. Because of her interference, our relationship if food for public consumption and neither of us like it or want to see it happen to anyone else.
Ino broke in. "I'm sorry Naruto but are you really sure she is the one that is behind all this? It doesn't really make all that much sense. I mean I could see if Kakashi-Sempai was a girl you liked because then she'd be thinking about your possible children or even if you were a girl and she'd get Kakashi-sempai's kids down the line. But you're both guys. Most definitely guys," she added with so much pent up aggravation it brought more than a few smiles to the gathering.
Kakashi sighed and said, "We know that's exactly what she's thinking about. Because of Naruto's unique way of performing a transformation, she has every reason to believe he and I can be together and she will still get those children from the both of us. To her way of thinking, she gets her cake and gets to eat it too. And I have to admit with her blindness and from where she is sitting a child of our line would be . . .nothing but a benefit to the village in the future."
"I don't understand," Ino whined.
Shikamaru rolled his eyes as did Neji and Hinata snickered. Hinata told her, "Their children would be the combination of the Hatake line and the Namikaze line Ino. Both lines have produced very powerful shinobi more often than not. So it's reasonable to assume a child from both lines will be almost if not just as powerful as Naruto-kun."
"But he's not really a girl when he transforms. Is he?"
Hinata nodded since she had already checked while they were still in the academy and he'd first done the transformation. it was why she had passed out that day.
As Ino whined, "No Fair," to Naruto, Kurenai sat up straight in shocked surprise. "Your henge is that complete of a change?" she asked.
Naruto flushed in embarrassment as he nodded. "I really do become the person I change into though I really don't see what the big deal is. If I can do it, why can't the rest of you? But anyway she knows it's a total transformation. She and Shizune-nee did a full diagnostic once before they sent us on a mission. I wondered at the time why she did it since the mission had nothing to do with me henging into anyone else. But right after that was when all this crap started happening."
"Let's recap from the beginning so everyone knows exactly how deeply she's been meddling," said Kakashi, massaging Naruto's shoulders. "First, there was that examination which none of us knew the purpose of. Like Naruto says, it had nothing to do with the mission we were going on and as far as we knew at that point had absolutely nothing to do with his career as a ninja. Then, there were the rumors she planted while we were gone that everyone was discussing when we got back to the village. Those rumors grew out of proportion to the point where she started the betting pool as to whom he would choose and what I would do to whomever he did choose. And contrary to what you thought when you shot your mouth off without engaging your brain first, Ino, all those early bets made it clear I was interested in him but that he might not choose me. The bets slowly narrowed until all other possible choices were rejected and it revolved around when and how we got together. At the same time, she was still planting rumors of what she would do to whomever he lost his innocence to and I am perfectly sure there was never a single moment he and I were in the village at the same time that she was not watching one or both of us. I'm not sure when those," he pointed to the bag of spying equipment with a disgusted look in his eye, "started appearing in his apartment or even how many of them were planted at her suggestion but what I do know is he was in no position to remove any of them without calling out the hounds from hell on himself. He is able to tell when he is being spied on and what type of device is being used but he has to actually search for them to find them if there is a bunch of them. That is, in my opinion, where she crossed the line and I have no intention of allowing her to get away with it. But it is not the extent of all she has done to make sure Naruto and I ended up together. She set up a night watch on his apartment, and, as Asuma can tell you, that was nothing more than an attempt to force me into making a move on him while she watched. He can also tell you exactly why I claim that as torture above and beyond anything Ibiki can do." Asuma grinned knowing Kakashi was referring to the fact that Naruto slept in the nude more often than not. Kurenai raised a delicate brow and Anko grinned already having her suspicions.
"Naruto-kun usually washes his clothes in the shower before bed," Asuma said innocently enough. Kurenai looked puzzled for a few minutes as did the rest of the girls except for Anko who let her grin cover her face broadly. The guys all grimaced catching on immediately and more than one blushed, feeling sorry for Kakashi being forced to see exactly what he wanted but not being free to actually pursue it at the time. Kurenai finally got it and her eyes widened as a blush spread over her face.
Kakashi sighed. "Anyway, to continue on, she decided I wasn't moving fast enough to suit her so she pulled in more help. She convinced Iruka that Naruto wanted him to help her force my hand. He came up with the idea of two man missions and he can tell you how far she went to ensure we'd have to share living space on them for at least part of the mission. But she also arranged for us to go to an inn run by a friend of hers on a phony mission where we were locked into a room and given drugged food to force us into having sex while recording devices caught it all. Now I don't know about anyone else here but I am not a porn star and neither is Naruto and we definitely want to make her pay for that as well. Especially since it didn't end there. After we were finally allowed out of the room the inn keeper sent us to a cabin that was chakra locked. We not only couldn't use our chakra to get out but there was no other entrance to the cabin. The only way in or out was through a chakra teleportation conducted by the inn keeper and his assistant. We were stuck there for over a month with recording devices on us the whole time. No privacy at all."
"Well, none until I broke the one they had in the headboard of the one and only bed," snickered Naruto. "I don't like being spied on while I sleep so I found that one and broke it the first night we were there. I must have done a good job because it didn't get replaced." Shikamaru snorted.
"Anyway by this time both of us were . . . feeling more than a little. . . .aggravated with our Meddling Hokage and determined not to be manipulated into becoming her porno entertainment."
"Let alone for the whole damn world," growled Naruto causing more than a few people to raise their eyebrows in silent questions.
"Here in Konoha," explained Kakashi, "only the bets paced in the village are shown in the bars and betting dens. And that was mainly because she knew that although Naruto avoids the barsdue to the heavy smell of alcohol, I do not. She knew I would see those sheets so it was another way to torture me and make damn sure I did not forget why I went drinking in the first place. But on those missions, we each, at different times found a true copy of how wide spread the bets really are." He handed the two sheets around the gathering. Several people gasped as they saw the names and places bets had come in from. "I know some of you are wondering if our dear little Hokage knows just how far her pornographic little betting pool has spread but let me assure you she does know. And obviously she has no problem with it since the pot has grown to the size it is." Hinata was beat red and Ino wasn't too far behind her. Anko was furious and had stood up to pace the room behind the chair she had been sitting in. Iruka also sported a deep blush on his handsome face while Kurenai was stiff in icy disapproval.
"It wasn't until we came home, that we discovered just how deeply she was involved in our lives. Iruka came to us and told us everything of what she had done to manipulate us. Let me remind you she tricked him into thinking Naruto had asked her to help him get me and that she herself was out of ideas. He was the reason for the out of the village two man missions and Naruto's disappearing sleeping bags and tents. Though the last mission he did not have a hand in and it wasn't until we were already trapped at the inn that he found out just how far she was willing to go and why. The truth is, she does want children from the two of us. Our wants are immaterial to what she wants in this case and while I know, as ninja, we are tools for the use of our Hokage, this goes over the line of how far I am willing to go for her. Especially since both Naruto and I know the true reason he does not wish a child of his blood to be anywhere near this village or any other where his status as a jinchuuriki is known."
"What do you mean by that," Ino asked.
"The villagers will not take kindly to my child, Ino," Naruto explained gently. "I know you are aware of that. They would hurt the child, believing it to be nothing more than demon spawn. Especially since I am known to be fully male as is Kakashi. There is no way they would ever believe that Kyuubi had nothing to do with it. But Baa-chan can not see beyond the continuation of the line of the White Fang and the Yondaime. She either can not or will not understand how much danger the child or children will be in. I am not willing to bring a child into the world just to see it go through hell before it dies to show her the truth either. And I am very much aware that no matter how hard we try we can not always be there to keep the children safe from harm. We are ninja. Our lives may end at any moment in time and because of her meddling, for Kakashi and I, that is more true than for most others. We are two of the most sought after ninja in the world right now and Baa-chan's little betting pool has only put us more into the spotlight. She isn't so much using us as tools as she is using us as toys for her amusement and that is not what either of us signed on for."
"But then why didn't you just choose to be with a girl? That would have made all her plans go up in smoke," Ino asked.
Naruto tilted his head and said, "Ino, in the first place that is so much poppy cock it barely qualifies as sensible. How would it be any better if either of us were with a girl? A child is a child regardless of who it's parents are and my child is still mine no matter who else's blood it has. And it is the fact that it is my child that would get it beat to a pulp and dead in a short time. Besides, I'm only fifteen as you are. Are you ready for a permanent relationship yet? I thought I had plenty of time to choose a mate but, even if I wasn't gay, she took that choice away from us when she sent us on that last mission. That inn keeper drugged my ramen."
Iruka paled and his shocked gasp was clearly heard throughout the room as even Chouji stopped eating to look at Naruto. They all knew what a bad idea it was to mess with Naruto's ramen. "You didn't kill him, did you Naruto?" asked Iruka shakily.
"I should have but no I didn't. He's still alive." Naruto shrugged. "It was kind of my own fault since I knew it was drugged before I ate it but I couldn't have known the consequences at the time. Not that I regret them," he said leaning his head back to look up into the worried eye of Kakashi and exposing his throat. Kakashi's hand snaked from his shoulder to the exposed neck and caressed it softly while leaning forward to place a gentle cloth covered kiss on Naruto's lips.
Naruto gave his lover a smile before facing his friends and their teachers again. "I ate the ramen in three bowls so I would have them to make Kakashi something drug free to eat. I should have just dumped it all but I thought Kyuubi would take care of the drugs. She didn't and that was the problem." He flushed as bright a red as any blush Hinata had ever worn as he explained. "There was too much of the drug in me to control my body's response to Kakashi's presence and Kyuubi took advantage of it to bind us together. So now even if we wanted to, which I know I don't, being with someone else is not only not a good idea but more than a touch impossible for either of us. So you see, Ino? Choosing a girl to be with now is not going to happen."
She nodded though she wasn't sure about the bonding thing. "But there has to be a way out of this," she said. "I mean, if you two want to be together that's your business but if you don't want to have a child that shouldn't be something you're forced into doing and especially if it means having to pretend to be a girl for a year or so."
"A year!" squeaked Naruto alarmed. "Ah hell no. Not just no but Hell no." He could feel Kakashi trembling through the contact of his legs and knew his reaction was much the same as his own.
"Well, yeah. You didn't think she was planning on you poofing into girl mode, having sex and then poofing back into a boy, did you? Boys don't have the room or equipment to carry babies, Naruto and babies aren't born over night. It takes nine months for a baby to be ready to be born and you'd have to be a girl for that whole time. Then there's the six weeks or so after it's born when it needs your milk to build it's own immunity system. You have to be a girl then also," said Ino, smirking as both the guys were pale and trembling. Around the room only Anko was enjoying the chaos Ino had created. The rest of the guys looked uncomfortable and Hinata was thinking about something clearly not paying any attention to the mayhem. "Why do you think guy/girl relationships are encouraged, Baka? Sheesh. Weren't you paying attention when Iruka-Sensei taught us the difference between boys and girls?"
"Uh Ino," said Shikamaru. "Your fangs are showing." Kakashi was glaring at her. Naruto had a hand on his thigh and was sitting up straighter but otherwise not moving at all. "I told you to quit calling him that. He's smarter than you are, for all that he grew up without adult supervision."
"Besides," said Iruka. "The day I taught you sex ed Naruto was in the hospital recovering from a drunken beating from townspeople who wanted to make sure he wasn't there for the lesson. They didn't want him to get the idea he had the right to procreate any more than they wanted him to really learn the ninja arts."
She gulped. Naruto had missed a lot of classes and she'd forgotten just which lesson he had missed from those he hadn't. She did remember how she had assumed he was simply skipping the classes he wasn't there for but now she found herself wondering just how many of them he was actually unable to attend due to injuries he wouldn't have been able to explain away as simply being clumsy. She did remember how she and the other kids had teased him about his various injuries and his clumsiness all during the time they had been in the academy and even afterwards. Now she just lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean that to be cruel. It's just I've known that information for so long I assumed everyone with half a brain knows it also. I'm not the smartest person in the room."
Naruto smiled and it was like the breakthrough of the sun from behind a dense cloud bank. Everyone felt themselves relaxing and smiling back, though Kakashi retained his death grip on Naruto's shoulder.
"Anyway, all that aside, we need to figure out how to get her to stop this before she does something that will cause an innocent to suffer and die because she wouldn't listen," said Asuma.
"Youthful babies should not be bred just to fuel someone's unyouthful desire for a new bloodline or to prolong a line when the one with the line does not wish to youthfully procreate," added Gai.
"Minato-Sensei knew what he was doing when he sealed the Kyuubi into his only child. He knew that, though he asked the village to see Naruto as a hero for containing it, his line would die with Naruto, as there was no way the villagers would think Naruto's children were not demon touched. He was not nearly as ignorant of the villager's attitude as people thought he was. But even as he asked for Naruto to be treated as a hero for saving us every day, he knew for some Naruto would never be that hero. He was counting on the rest of us who could see him that way to shelter him and love him and keep him safe so he could do his job," explained Kakashi sadly. "Unfortunately it didn't happen, since Sandaime told those of us, who would have protected and sheltered him, that he had died and moved him into the orphanage as an unknown orphan. He told the council who Naruto was but he only told them Naruto was the infant Minato-Sensei had used. He didn't tell them Naruto was his son. So they, like the villagers, saw no reason to protect Naruto and more than once set up an occasion to kill Naruto before he could grow up. To make sure neither I or any of my friends saw Naruto, he sent us out of the village on long missions where we would not run into him by accident and recognize who he really was through his coloration. It wouldn't be until I came back after my three year mission as an ambassador to Cloud that I would discover Naruto was still alive and that only happened because I saw him running from a mob and intervened. I took him straight to the Sandaime and demanded to know why mobs of drunken idiots were being permitted to openly chase children through the streets of the village. Then I got a good look at Naruto in the light and immediately went ballistic on Sarutobi for lying to me. He gave me a song and dance about protecting Naruto from Iwa to which I told him it didn't make a damn bit of difference that he was keeping him safe from Iwa if our own people killed him anyway. Dead was dead and who cared what country the murderer called home at that point. I will admit I was furious but it did get Naruto into a safer location and out of the orphanage as some of the council heard my tirade and it turned out they were already suspicious of who Naruto really was anyway. But the long and the short of this is, Sensei knew Naruto would never have any children deliberately. He meant his line to end with Naruto once he knew there was no other way of containing the Kyuubi. He did his job and it cost him everything a man can give his village. I don't want to see Naruto manipulated into doing something he knows isn't right just because the Hokage is out of touch and so are some of the council."
"Not to mention you don't want to be forced into having to live with a female for close to a year when you prefer to be with the male," said Kurenai. "Don't act like there isn't more than a touch of selfishness in this for you also, Hatake."
"Actually Naruto is Naruto no matter what form he wears. So even if we don't think of a way to spoke her wheels I still won't be living with a girl as you so delicately put it. I will still be with Naruto and only Naruto." Kurenai gave an unladylike snort that clearly said she didn't believe it.
Naruto grinned wickedly. "Kiba?" he asked. "Your nose is always able to tell the difference between boys and girls. Right? And if you know a person's scent, as you do mine, you'll recognize them no matter what they are disguised as. Right?"
Kiba nodded and affirmed, "Even if I am confused, Akamaru never is."
Now the prankster grin was in full flower. Kakashi warned Naruto, "Make sure she has clothes on this time." Naruto grinned at him as he transformed. Before them all stood a very beautiful girl awaiting Kiba's assessment.
Kiba got a blush on his cheeks but he confirmed it was still Naruto but that he was totally and one hundred percent a female in every single way imaginable. His blush let both Kakashi and Naruto know he also knew they had already played around with the transformation as he could smell the mingled scents from their love making on Naruto now. "The female to my nose, is definitely a girl but Naruto's scent is her scent. Akamaru confirms she is Naruto as well. So yeah. Kakashi will still be living with his chosen mate but she will be a girl in all ways if Hokage-sama is not talked out of this plot she has hatched. And considering the depths she has already gone to in order to keep track of Naruto and his every move, I have no doubt she will be there counting the strokes as well as the spilling of seed into his female form to make sure they are following her orders. I also have no doubt she will be watching every day to make sure that he does not drop the henge for any reason once he has assumed it just to make sure he does not abort the child she wants him to birth."
Everyone in the room flushed as they all got mental images of Naruto and Kakashi having sex while being spied upon by their Hokage who was counting the strokes and number of times they climaxed as well as the duration of each climax. None of them had any problem with the image which told them they knew their Hokage was definitely perverted enough to spy on them in the bedroom just as easily as she spied on Naruto.
Finally Iruka gulped and muttered, "Ok that image is going to stay with me for a long time to come. Thanks for nothing, Kiba." He scrubbed at his eyes as if trying to scrub the image out of his head. Most the people in the room chuckled softly but everyone was blushing and looking just a little bit uncomfortable. Naruto switched back to his male form and sat back down between his lovers legs wrapping his hands around Kakashi's lower leg while leaning his head onto his thigh. Kakashi placed a hand on the bright golden hair and softly stroked it comfortingly.
Kiba, since he was sitting right next to the pair, told Naruto in a quiet whisper, "Next time shower in that form, please. My clan and Shino's will both know exactly what you've done if you don't and though we are all keeping our mouths shut, I can't guarantee that will continue once they get that scent from the two of you."
Both Naruto and Kakashi nodded their understanding of his words and resolved to keep it in mind next time they played around with the henge. That there would be a next time neither doubted for a minute.
Iruka decided to add something of his own to the discussion as well. "You should all know that when Gai and I, under henges, went to Naruto's place to pack it up, we found more of those devices." He pointed to the bag on the low table. "We pulled out and broke every one of them we found that had nothing to do with keeping Naruto safe and everything to do with turning him into a porno star."
"I'm still waiting to see if those dirty mongrels will pay me for the shots I know damn good and well they got without permission," muttered Naruto while Kakashi growled angrily low and dangerously in his throat.
"Anyway, as you can see neither of them are any too happy with those cameras and recorders. But my point is, it isn't only our Meddling Hokage who is spying on the two of them. Not all those could have been from her or the council. Some of them have to be coming from outside sources as well. People who should in no way have access to the home of a ninja but especially not one as well guarded and well-known as Naruto-kun. The fact that we found so many implies that they know some of those were from the Hokage's office and have somehow bypassed our usual security to plant them."
Neji spoke for the first time. "Matters of security should never be taken so lightly and that his security has been compromised, I have no doubt. Someone is either being paid off to let them in or being blackmailed to allow it. Either way is bad for Konoha. And if it is coming from sources outside the village that is even worse for us since that means they know full well the vices of our Hokage and her staff. If it is coming from inside the village it is still bad but can be handled before it leaks."
"I don't think anyone is being blackmailed or bribed," said Shikamaru shaking his head. "Our Hokage honesty doesn't think Naruto is in any real danger any more so more than likely three quarters of the time there is no one observing the cameras placed for his safety by the Old Hokage and council. Therefore, someone could easily slip in and plant their own devices without getting caught if they knew when the monitors are unwatched."
"It is true that she doesn't believe he is in any danger from the villagers anymore but surely she still recognizes he's in danger from Akatsuki and Iwa?" said Tenten.
"Not really. She figures since Jiraiya is keeping track of the Akatsuki then she will know when they are on the move in plenty of time to get people watching his place. As for Iwa, she believes they have no idea of who's kid he is and so are not a danger to him though she will not send him on a mission into their territory."
"And Sound Base?" asked Ino. "Does she think Sasuke no longer wants to kill him?"
"She knows Naruto-kun can kill Sasuke any time he chooses to so no she doesn't see him as a threat either," said Hinata.
Author Notes: And this is the longest chapter to date, I believe. Hope you enjoyed it and that it answered some of your questions. I will try to get the next chapter loaded before I fall asleep but if I do start to snore, be nice. Don't tell me cause real ladies don't snore.
