A/N Gutentag. Here is chapter 8 and honestly, I kind of hate it. I mean that. If I ever go back and re-write any chapters of this story this chapter will probably be the first one to undergo the metaphorical knife. Ah well, next chapter should be much better and much more fun to write so hopefully it will make up for this one.

Oh! And if you're wondering why I never answer reviews it's because I always forget to until right after posting a chap. If you have a question that MUST be answered please pm me. It will be much easier for me to answer that quickly. But please continue sending me your thoughts through review too. I may not answer you but I will take each recommendation seriously and add it to my story if I feel I should.

Read, review and question.

*Inside Tazuna's home, living room*

Everyone was currently sitting around and relaxing a bit after having a wonderful meal (Naruto had helped an incredibly nervous and giddy Tsunami with cooking). The cheerful mood was quickly being replaced with one of anticipation as team 7 (and secretly Tazuna and his family) were thinking of hearing more of Naruto's past. After sipping the tea he had, Naruto began to tell of his past encounters with Hasaki and Haku…

XFlashback, 3 years ago Kawa no Kuni (River country)X

Hasaki and Haku were both dead tired and seeking shelter in a moderately sized town. They had been betrayed by a client who had contacted the Kiri hunter kunoichi instead of paying them for a well completed job (the bastard client didn't get to gloat long since he was soon cut in half by an angry Hasaki). For nearly a week the two had been constantly on the run and had now ended up in River country, with no supplies and no one to turn to. As Hasaki was contemplating simply fighting back (and inevitably dying since she was in no condition to fight anymore) she saw an incredibly handsome young man entering a high class club that was members only and even had a few mean looking Suna kunoichi as guards. Deciding to put her Anbu skills in infiltration to use she followed him and snuck into the high class bar (having put Kubikiribocho into a storage scroll so she would be less conspicuous).

As she and Haku wandered about inside (being mistaken for a new pair of bouncers) she felt a cold chill down her spine as she heard the squad of hunter kunoichi arguing with the two Suna guards outside about being let inside. She then saw the handsome blonde from earlier exiting what was presumably a dressing room and reacted quickly by coming up behind him and covertly dragging him into said room.

"Shh! We aren't here to harm you! We just need some shelter until the heat cools down!" Hasaki whispered urgently as Haku locked the door. Hasaki then turned the blonde man around and looked into his deep cerulean eyes, losing herself for a moment before saying in a sincere and heartfelt tone "Please, only for a little while. Please." The handsome youth continued to stare into her eyes (making her feel as if he were gazing into her very soul) before slowly nodding.

Hasaki and Haku breathed a sigh of relief as both relaxed and found a chair to sit down in. Both finally taking a good look at the room they were in and realized it was actually more of a room one would see in a hotel; with a large comfy looking bed in one corner, a dresser and cabinets near it and even a kitchenette with a regular sized refrigerator. Overall it was rather nice and befitting the high class establishment it was located in.

"So, can I at least know the names of my new guests?" the youth said in a voice that soothed both kunoichi.

"My name is Hasaki and this is Haku." Hasaki said, trying to stay vague in case he knew of her rogue kunoichi status.

"I see, mine is Naruto. Well, could you please explain why you both needed the use of my room as a hideout?"

"Ehh… About that, could I just say 'personal' reasons?" Hasaki said in a hopeful tone while the handsome youth now known as Naruto gave her a deadpan stare and raised an eyebrow. "Well, can't blame a girl for trying. You see these kunoichi are hunting me and Haku down. So I figured I'd sneak in here with the kunoichi guards outside dissuading any of them from coming inside." Hasaki said once again trying not to give too much away.

"Any reason why you would be hunted down by kunoichi?"

"None particularly."

"Of course. Allow me to call security."

"Wait! No!"

"Then may I have a reason for you being hunted down?"

"They are all jealous of my breasts?"

"Excuse me, I need to step out for a moment and alert the authorities."

"Argh! Damn it! Fine! Promise you'll listen to the end and then form an opinion?" Hasaki then said with a bit of anger in her voice for being forced into talking.

"I promise." Naruto replied as he took a seat directly across Hasaki and Haku.

"I was once a Kiri kunoichi…" Hasaki started as she told Naruto (who patiently listened to her story and offered silent encouragement when it was needed) about how the current Mizukage Yashira was a bloodthirsty tyrant leading a genocide of those with kekkai genkai. Becoming tired of watching former comrades and friends be betrayed and killed, Hasaki staged an unsuccessful coup along with several other kunoichi from the acclaimed seven swordswomen of the mist. As she fled the country she found Haku dying on the side of the road from starvation, so she took Haku with her and trained her in the kunoichi arts. Currently, they had just completed a job for a client (guarding a shipment of silver and jewels) and were betrayed. After running for a week they now found themselves here, with Kiri hunter kunoichi hot on their heels.

There was a long pause as Naruto digested all of this information. "I see. Well-"*knock knock* was heard before Naruto could finish his sentence. Quickly getting up he motioned for Hasaki and Haku to go hide in either his closet or bathroom as he went and opened the door.

"Yes? How may I help you?" Naruto inquired politely to the masked hunter kunoichi at his door.

"I feel multiple strong chakra signatures in here. Move aside boy so I can search your room." She rudely said as she tried to enter.

"I'm sorry but I will have to decline that. I am a rather private person after all."

"That wasn't a request." The kunoichi said as she was about to strike Naruto when suddenly she felt an intense killer intent from all sides.

"You wouldn't be trying to harm our dear Naruto-kun now would you?" announced a Suna kunoichi as several other Suna kunoichi's besides her radiated killer intent.

"This has nothing to do with you." The Kiri kunoichi said, starting to get nervous, her comrades were supposed to distract the Suna kunoichi as she searched the place. Where could they have gone?

"As the hired bodyguards of both the patrons and performers of this fine establishment it is our priority to make sure everyone is alright. And if you're looking for your buddies," the leader of the Suna kunoichi started before throwing several bloody and charred Kiri headbands at the now panicking Kiri kunoichi, "they got a bit too cocky in thinking they could beat us." The now outnumbered Kiri kunoichi gathered the headbands before using a water body flicker to escape.

"Thank you for the help." Naruto said warmly to the now blushing and bashful Suna kunoichi's who stuttered out a few 'no problems' or 'think nothing of it' before quickly leaving in an embarrassed rush. Naruto then re-entered his room and asked for Hasaki and Haku to come out of hiding.

"So I've decided to allow you both to stay here for the night. Although I will be leaving tomorrow." Naruto said as Haku and Hasaki looked relieved at getting such a nice respite from running. They were then surprised by Naruto handing them both strange cards with the logo of the establishment on them. "These cards will allow you access in and out of this club, you can also get a free dinner tonight using them."

"Why are you being so kind to us?" Haku suddenly blurted out before covering her mouth with her hands at the rude interjection.

"I once heard someone say 'Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle'. It's rather literal with you two but the sentiment is the same." Naruto responded with a warm smile as Haku found herself feeling a sudden warmth on her face and in her chest. Hasaki in turn found herself smiling gently despite herself, though with the bandages around her face it wasn't all that noticeable.

Xflashback endX

"… After that Hasaki and Haku traveled with me for roughly a month. Hasaki wanted to repay my kindness so she acted as my kunoichi escort during our travels together and helped instruct me in kenjutsu. It is in part thanks to her that I am as good as I am today. We then parted and maybe a year or so later met each other again in a gambling town where I was currently plying my trade."

"Good times. We became very good friends during those travels." Hasaki said in both nostalgia and in a challenging manner towards team 7. She had fallen for the blonde musician quite a while ago and she'd be damned if she lost him. Next to her the equally smitten Haku nodded vigorously to her remark (Haku had shared her life story with Naruto on their travels together and had been comforted by him; she was now at peace with what happened earlier in life thanks to him).

"Hmm, I see." Kasumi said while thinking on how Hasaki could be a powerful rival for Naruto's affections. Especially since she traveled with him for such extended periods…

"Well it's rather late so I think we should all rest for tomorrow. Allow me to show you all to your rooms" Tsunami said as a tense silence descended. 'I WILL be sleeping in Naruto-kuns/sama's room' was the thought echoed through the minds of all the kunoichi present.

'Why do I suddenly feel like my life is in danger?' Naruto wondered.

"I love you dear, but you really should pay attention to your surroundings…"

'What do you mean Kura-chan? Kura-chan?' Naruto asked his lover who for some reason remained silent (she was currently sadly shaking her head in exasperation).

*Several hours later, Naruto's room*

Naruto was dozing away peacefully since he was exhausted (when the rooms were assigned he immediately had to quiet the growing the argument between everyone as to where he would sleep and with whom. If he hadn't there was great possibility Tazuna would no longer have a home…). He had been given his own room since the abundance of women in the place meant they could all share the several other unused rooms. Suddenly he heard a soft knock on his door and a voice that sounded like Haku…

"Naruto-sama? May I come in?"

"Erg? S-sure." He groaned half asleep, not really being conscious enough to know what was going on. The soft sound of a door opening and closing could be heard as Haku (who was wearing an ice blue nightgown that contrasted beautifully with her porcelain skin and was rather translucent under the moonlight, under which was an ice blue thong that was made to be easily removed…) made her way into the room. She moved swiftly and silently towards her Naruto-sama (who had fallen asleep again).

"Don't worry Naruto-sama; I'll always keep you warm on these long nights." She said as she started to get into the bed when she was interrupted by a knock on the door followed by said door being opened.

"Naruto-kun, I've come to keep you com-" Kasumi (being completely nude under a short white bathrobe that was strategically opened in the middle to allow the best view of her cleavage and was short enough so that when she moved her legs it allowed tantalizing near reveals of her sex, although she was once again wearing a silver scarf to cover her face) started until she saw Haku. "Sorry, wrong room." She sheepishly said before closing the door and then kicking the door of its hinges a second later. "What the fuck are you doing in here!?" She yelled as the entire house was woken up.

"Keep your voice down! People are sleeping!" Haku yelled back, annoyed that she had been caught.

"Cyclops! What the hell are you doing in my Naru-kun's room?" The suddenly appearing Hasaki (only in a matching set of lacy black bra and panties she had been saving for when she met up with Naruto again one day) said, having arrived so quickly because she was about to sneak into Naruto's room as well. Naruto was now sitting in his bed, half asleep and wondering why everyone was shouting. Meanwhile a small ink mouse quickly left after observing the situation…

"To make sure Naruto-kun was safe. As team leader I need to make sure all my subordinates are taken care of!" Kasumi yelled back. Killer intent radiated from the three kunoichi as they angrily stared at one another for several moments.

"Naruto-sama is perfectly fine! Now leave so I-" Haku yelled in exasperation while turning towards where Naruto was supposed to be. "Where did Naruto-sama go!?" Hasaki and Kasumi both turned to where Naruto once was and were shocked to see him gone as well. To be able to sneak someone out under the noses of several very powerful (albeit distracted) kunoichi was no mean feat… Kasumi suddenly had a realization, acting on this she quickly left Haku and Hasaki and sprinted off towards the room her genin team shared, Haku and Hasaki following after a few seconds.

Busting down the door she came upon a sight that was infuriatingly familiar; Sai (who was completely nude this time) had Naruto naked as the day he was born, bound and gagged while she pumped his length. Although this time it looked like she was interrupted before she could start on the blowjob she was initiating (evident from her open mouth that was mere inches from his length). It should be noted that in a corner of the room Satsuki and Sakura were also bound and gagged so they would not interfere although both were furiously fighting their constraints.

"I'm starting to think that you are a voyeur Kasumi-sensei." Sai said with irritation entering her voice, much to her own surprise. Kasumi didn't respond with words, instead choosing to voice her displeasure by using her full speed to try and knock Sai out with a rather vengeful dynamic entry (the standard yell being replaced with a roar of fury). Sai, having learned from last time she tried this, hastily raised her guard thus keeping her on this side of consciousness while throwing them both to the far side of the surprisingly spacious room. While this happened the recently arrived Hasaki and Haku cut Naruto loose before trying to take him back to their rooms. Naruto decided to put his foot down once again and emitted a weakened burst of electricity that flooded the entire room. Now everyone besides Naruto was unable to move (an intense sense of déjà vu settling in on Satsuki and Kasumi).

"Now this is just getting annoying. If I wish to sleep with any of you it will be of my own volition. Try this again and I will not be amused." Naruto said with restrained anger in his voice and a frown forming on his face as he stood up. He then left the room as those involved felt an intense need to apologize and hope they hadn't pushed him away…

Naruto walked back to his assigned room, still completely naked, as he reached the door he saw a surprised and incredibly red faced Tsunami completely frozen as she stared at him. "Goodnight Tsunami-chan." He said simply as he went inside his room. Tsunami then had a massive nosebleed and fell into a blissful unconsciousness with a naked Naruto burned into her mind for eternity.

That night Kurama would have her world rocked and shattered once again by Naruto.

*The next day, clearing near Tazuna's home*

Team 7 plus three were standing around in the clearing, Kasumi had called everyone out to train (well, she really just wanted to distract everyone else with training while she kept Naruto to herself…and apologize for last night). Naruto himself was standing a bit away from everyone and was wearing a neutral face, worrying everyone else. He was not his usual warm self this morning…

*Cough* "I've called you all out here this morning so that we could train for a bit. As fellow kunoichi…erm… warriors it would be prudent to always keep our skills sharp. My team will go perfect the water walking exercise which we started on back in Konoha while Hasaki, Haku, Naruto-kun and I discuss strategy for tonight."

"Hnn, why is Haku allowed in on the strategy meeting?" Satsuki asked incensed.

"Because while we are destroying Gato, Haku will be in charge of you and Sakura in defending our client and his family." Kasumi said with an edge to her voice, she wanted to immediately talk to Naruto and Satsuki bitching about something inconsequential was ticking her off. Deciding to cut Satsuki off before she started arguing again, Kasumi created a shadow clone and instructed it to watch her team train. Clone Kasumi put her hand on Satsuki's shoulder and body flickered away towards the water as Sai and Sakura understood that this was an immediate dismissal.

"Well, now that that's out of the way, let's discuss what needs to be done." Kasumi said while turning to her now lessened group. "First, I-I want to apologize Naruto-kun. We went too far. Forgive us?" Kasumi earnestly said while nervously rubbing her arm. Next to her Hasaki and Haku both looked incredibly chastened and where giving Naruto the dreaded puppy eyes (enhanced by a bit of suiton chakra to make it look even sadder). Naruto neutrally stared at them for a few moments before taking a deep breath and sighing.

"I'll forgive you, just please allow me to make my own decisions." Naruto said, a bit of his old warmth returning.

"Thank you Naruto-kun/sama!" was immediately yelled as all three hugged him. Naruto hugged them back and all was well once again with the four of them. After a few minutes they separated and decided to get down to business.

"So, how are we going to go about ridding ourselves of the midget?" Hasaki said.

"Well, my idea is to use Sai's ink animals to do reconnaissance and then you and I will use the information to destroy his base. Naruto-kun, can your Siren's Song be used to somewhat pacify our enemies to get rid of them easier?"

"Yes. Although I don't know how well I could cover the area with it."

"Hmm, can you use chakra for jutsu instead of just your elemental abilities?" Kasumi said with a twinkle in her eye as she just thought of something.

"My chakra is incredibly unstable. While I have large amounts of it I cannot refine my control of it to the point where I would be able to use most jutsu. So any technique I would be able to use would need to be exceedingly simple and require large amounts of chakra."

"Then how do your elemental abilities work?" Hasaki asked.

"Chakra permeates everything. My chakra is incredibly potent so with meditation and practice I can exert my will over the ambient chakra in everything and use it as I see fit. In essence I am 'bending' the elements around me. Of course to do so I have to 'feel' for said element within the chakra and extract it. Otherwise the nature chakra would overwhelm me because it is too pure."

"Does that use up a lot of chakra Naruto-sama?"

"Yes. If I did not have the amounts I have at the potency I have then it would be impossible to exert enough power over the elements in order to bend them to my will." 'Not to mention the fact that if Kura-chan's chakra wasn't constantly mixing with mine then none of this would even be remotely possible.' He thought to himself.

"Well, how about I teach you the Kage bunshin no jutsu?" Kasumi said, finally voicing her thoughts.

"Do you think I will be able to use it?"

"Of course! Now this is how it's done…" Kasumi said and proceeded to show Naruto how it was done, with Haku and Hasaki watching and learning it as well (at Naruto's behest).

*Several hours later*

"It seems I finally have it down." Naruto said with a slight winded look on his face, while he managed it within the first hour and a half Kasumi insisted he practice for quite a bit longer to make sure he truly got it down. On the sidelines both Hasaki and Haku had stopped quite a bit earlier (they both had gotten it down and were content with staring at Naruto and his many copies as perverted day dreams filled their heads). Before Kasumi could congratulate him they were all called for a late lunch by Tsunami.

*That night, a mile from Gato's hideout*

After lunch, the plan for that night was explained to team 7 and then Kasumi, Hasaki, Sai and Naruto slept to replenish their chakra reserves and to ready themselves for the night ahead (Naruto had explicitly expressed his preference to not be kidnapped and molested so as to deter anyone who did not understand the concept the previous night *cough Sai cough*). Now they had traveled to within a mile of Gato's hideout and were readying themselves to utterly decimate it (the hideout being situated near the coast of Nami for easy boating access with a thick forest surrounding it to better hide it).

"Send out your mice when ready Sai."

"Yes Kasumi-sensei." Sai said as she put the finishing touches on her ink animals and promptly sent them out for reconnaissance. The quartet stood in tense silence as they waited until, nearly an hour later, all the mice returned and threw themselves onto the open scroll Sai had on the ground creating a detailed map and to the side of it, detailed information on the amount of thugs and where they were congregated.

"Hmm, Hasaki you will handle this side of the hideout," Kasumi pointed towards an open area currently filled with tents meant to be the impromptu barracks with a decent sized river running next to it. "while I infiltrate here on the opposite side and take out Gato himself. Sai, I want you to secure the docks so no one can escape. Naruto-kun, I want you to create shadow clones and send them here, here and here while you go here. Use Sirens Song to help keep the thugs subdued and give us an edge." Kasumi said as she pointed to four places each representing one of the cardinal directions. "We start when Naruto is in position and begins his song. I will send out a shadow clone to each of you when I capture the mansion."

Everyone nodded and prepared themselves for what was to come. Naruto quickly made several shadow clones and sent them to their assigned positions as he himself got into his own designated spot. Hasaki went to her area and patiently waited with Kasumi mirroring her actions. Sai had immediately created several more ink creations (they were wolves this time) and had found a spot to wait for the mission to begin. Naruto took a deep breath and as one, he and his clones sang as his comrades burst into action.

XX Play 'Nameless song" from Dark souls XX

*With Hasaki, impromptu barracks*

A haunting melody flooded the clearing as the thug army was instantly caught in its' grasp. They felt their strength waning, their perception of everything around them blurring and their own sense of self currently blending into oblivion. And as they lost the will to hold themselves together, an angel descended upon them to release them from their mortal coil. This angel of course being Hasaki (she even looked like one to the thugs thanks to the effects of the Siren's Song).

Hasaki tightly gripped her Kubikiribocho and, after taking a moment to survey her surroundings, sprung into action. The thugs stood no chance as she quickly and fluidly moved through the crowd using large circular movements in order to continually keep her inertia going as she swung her blade. As the seconds passed thug after thug fell: losing arms, legs, their heads or even being bisected. With every swing of her blade, several would meet their end to this avenging angel. The ground was quickly covered in blood and limbs as the mournful song continued on, heralding the end for all those captured within its' terrible beauty.

After several minutes of masterful swordsmanship that whittled down the thug army, Hasaki decided to end the remaining thugs and wash away their presence from this world with a final attack. Putting her Kubikiribocho aside for the moment, she leaped onto the decently sized river. Gathering vast amounts of chakra she skillfully completed the handsigns for suiton: daibakufu no jutsu (giant vortex technique).

Her technique created a massive wall of water that immediately barreled towards the remnants of the thug army. The sheer power and velocity of the attack was a sight to behold as it swallowed up everything in its path and carved out a large trench through the earth that eventually reconnected with the river. Inside the vortex as this was happening, the poor bastards that were still alive from the bone breaking impact were twisted and torn asunder by the powerful waters or by colliding with their fellow thugs and miscellaneous objects that had been sucked up.

As her attack ended Hasaki panted and tried to regain her breath, her final attack being a bit overpowered to make sure she got everyone, as she surveyed the damage done. Out of roughly one hundred and thirty thugs located here in this clearing none were left alive. Thankfully, since the thugs were only here as protection and went wherever Gato went, they hadn't had any hostages or the like with them to worry about. As she stared at the ruined clearing she finally allowed herself to relax and listen to the song still being sung as she sat down on the river, a layer of chakra keeping her dry. Her thoughts keeping her company as she waited for the end of this mission.

*With Kasumi, same time*

As the song began, Kasumi snuck in to the gaudy mansion being used by Gato. It felt almost too easy an infiltration since the guards were merely common thugs and were now entranced by Naruto's song. As soon as she entered the mansion (having used an open window connected to an unused storage room) she created several shadow clones to help eradicate any resistance within the mansion. After giving the clones their orders she herself headed to the master bedroom. Along the way she encountered multiple thugs that were efficiently and brutally taken down using either a handy kunai or a vicious blow that snapped their necks. Several minutes passed like this as she finally came upon the giant mahogany doors that kept everyone out of Gato's room. As she was about to kick down the door she felt the memories from her clones informing her both of where he had secret vaults and of the demise of his 'elite' guards in charge of keeping intruders out of the mansion. Smiling slightly at this, Kasumi used a chakra enhanced kick to knock the doors off their hinges with a loud bang.

Gato awoke with a panicked yell as he stared at Kasumi. "Who the fuck are you!?" Kasumi then realized that Gato's room was somewhat sound proofed so Naruto's song did not affect him very much. She then realized this worked in her favor.

"I want your bank account information. All of it. And I want the codes to those safes you have littered throughout this place and the locations of anything else valuable that you have. Now." Kasumi hissed out.

"Fuck you slut! I'll just get my men in here and we'll have you begging for our cum by the time we're done with you." The sick bastard of a midget said with a lecherous grin on his face. Kasumi did not take kindly to this threat as she used her immense speed to grab Gato by the throat, slam him into the wall and then stick one of her kunai through his right thigh in a place where he wouldn't bleed out but would be in pain.

"Give me the information. Your men are dead. Your escape route has been taken care of. And I am a master at raiton jutsu." Kasumi said as she channeled a bit of raiton chakra into the kunai in his thigh in order to get the message across. After several moments of electrocuting Gato (and listening to his girly shrieks of pain) she stopped and awaited his response.

"O-okay! Okay! I'll give you what you want. Just promise to let me go!" He yelled in agony. Kasumi promptly let him fall to the ground and watched as he limped to his desk and got all of what she asked for. After several minutes he finally finished and nervously watched as Kasumi went through the papers in order to verify that he completed his side of the bargain.

"Okay, this seems in order. Now let's go open those vaults." She said as she grabbed Gato by the neck and with his directions went to every safe in the mansion and unlocked it. Along the way Gato saw the remains of all his guards and realized just how much trouble he was in. Deciding that he could always rebuild somewhere else he made sure to show every vault he had and open it.

"That's the last one. Now can you let me go like you promised?" Gato fearfully asked as Kasumi inspected the safe. Finding herself satisfied with how this turned out, Kasumi nodded to herself and then quickly shoved her kunai through Gato's chest as she whispered into his ear.

"Of course. Enjoy the afterlife with all of your dead minions." Kasumi then viciously tore the kunai out of Gato and beheaded him in order to seal his head into one of the many storage scrolls she brought along.

"Time to give this country some much needed funding." Kasumi said to herself as she created several shadow clones that went about sealing away everything of value.

*With Sai, same time*

Sai had unleashed her ink creations on the guards that were currently patrolling the docks. Her ink wolves easily tearing them apart as she made her way to the incredibly large yacht in order to secure it. Several minutes and many wolf mangled corpses later she had fully secured the dock without having to really do anything herself. With Naruto's singing in the air her enemies couldn't exactly put up much of a defense. 'Naruto-sama… How do you feel about me? And why does it matter to me so much?'

Sai had been constantly thinking on how Naruto viewed her. In fact for the first time in a very long time she had been worried over something! It was why she kidnapped him the other night. She figured that if she had intercourse with him all these confusing thoughts and strange feelings would make sense like those heroines in the romance novels she started to read in order to understand emotional attachments; whenever the climax of the book came they immediately understood everything. But she was an emotionless tool meant for the greater good, to fight and die at a moment's notice if it meant completing an objective. Yet her current assignment of getting closer to Naruto was dredging up long forgotten feelings that made her wonder on whether she could continue on this mission and still be the root agent she was brutally trained for. Sai stared into the night sky as she awaited the end of this mission, wondering on what it meant to be a kunoichi.

*With the real Naruto, same time*

Naruto had his eyes closed as he focused all his attention on singing. It was rather difficult to make sure that his song did not affect his comrades (considering how little he used it in combat situations it was amazing he could use the Siren's Song as well as he did). He did not know how much time passed as he gave his all to performing perfectly before he felt a hand on his shoulder and a soft voice saying to end the song and follow along. He ended the song (his clones dispersing with a thought as it ended) and opened his eyes to see Kasumi standing near him.

"I'm just a clone sent to gather the others. Come along Naruto-kun." She said before heading towards the rendezvous point. Naruto quickly followed as they ran through the forest for several minutes before coming to the docks. He saw his comrades near the stairs that would allow them to board the yacht.

"We're done here. I've already looted everything we could get from Gato and I've set timed explosive notes throughout his mansion to go off in half an hour. Let's get the hell out of here." Kasumi stated in a professional tone before eye smiling. Naruto merely nodded as he and the others boarded the yacht and set sail to Tazuna's home. They had a bit of a gift for him and his country…

*Several weeks later, The Wonderful Naruto-sama Bridge*

It had been an interesting time for team 7 plus three. The day following the mission, they went into town and proclaimed Gato's death. This was met by lots of disbelief of course until Kasumi had the grisly idea of Naruto announcing it while holding Gato's dismembered head in the town square. This had the desired effect and a huge weeklong celebration started (helped along by Kasumi who went with her gut and had Naruto personally give back the citizens their stolen goods and money, all of which was thanks to Gato's surprisingly good record keeping). Although this decision would bite her on the ass since the female population of Nami no Kuni instantly turned Naruto into their symbol of hope and regarded him as some kind of divine being. Naruto's performances during the celebration only made everyone love him even more (along with the open secret of his negotiating a trade alliance between Nami and Konoha that would make their country thrive). In fact whenever he went into town he would always need either Kasumi or Hasaki beside him lest he wished to face hordes of fangirls that wished for nothing more than to make him theirs…

In order to try and get out of Nami as quickly as possible (and in order to 'stop all these damn harlots who think they can go after her Naruto-kun' in Kasumi's words) Kasumi had everyone help out with the bridge. The construction of which flew by with the amount of clones Naruto created (further entrenching him as a divine being to the female population of Nami and creating many, many, many fantasies of the sweaty warrior as he toiled and occasionally disrobed his upper half in the midday sun). Now the kunoichi team and Naruto where standing on the bridge (completed the day before) facing Tazuna and his family, behind which were the population of Nami no Kuni. 'We love Naruto-sama!' or 'Naru-sama 4 ever!' or even 'I want your babies!' signs were everywhere along with Naruto's face adorning quite a few t-shirts. In a creepy way it was rather touching.

"Thank you. Truly thank you for all you have done." Tazuna said as he got misty eyed and tried to play it off as if he had gotten sand in his eyes.

"I agree. If it wasn't for all of you we would never have gotten rid of Gato. Thank you, thank you so very much." Tsunami said while bowing and crying tears of gratitude that left a warm feeling in the hearts of those watching. Inari, having kept his composure up till this point, started crying tears of happiness as he ran and held Naruto. The two had gotten incredibly close in the past few weeks and Inari had come to see him as a kind older brother.

"Y-you promise to come back and visit, right?" he tearfully asked as Naruto returned the hug.

"Yes. I will." Naruto said simply with a smile on his face. After a few more heartfelt goodbyes and even a roaring applause from the crowd the happy group departed from Nami no Kuni.

*Several miles from Nami no Kuni*

"Hey Hasaki?" Kasumi called out as they walked next to each other (they had decided to take a more relaxed pace at the moment since the bridge cut so much time from their journey and because it prolonged being with Naruto…)

"Yeah?"

"Didn't you mention working with the Demon sisters a while back?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"Whatever happened to them?"

"I met up with them at our temporary base during the weeklong celebration. When I told them about how Kirigakure was now under a new non-genocidal kage they packed their stuff, told me it was over and they were going to Kiri."

"Hah, you got dumped." Kasumi said with an irritating eye smile while looking up from her ever present Icha Icha. Kasumi and Hasaki were now rather friendly and would throw good natured jabs at each other, when not nearly ripping each other's throats out over Naruto of course.

"Eh, it was a relationship of convenience from the start. Besides, I've got my Naru-kun now." Hasaki happily said before grabbing onto the listening Naruto's arm and squeezing it between her wonderful breasts. Pissing off everyone in the process.

"MOVE!" Naruto yelled unexpectedly as he grabbed Hasaki in a bridal carry before jumping away. Kasumi quickly mirroring them as hundreds of bubbles came from the forest and covered the rookies in a glue like ooze when they exploded upon them. Unfortunately for them they were firmly stuck and would not be able to move for quite some time. As the three that were not incapacitated from the bubbles landed they heard movement coming from the forest and in a matter of moments a trio of cloaked figures appeared.

"Well well, it seems we finally get to see you again my dear specter." Said the leader of the group as she removed her cloak with a flourish revealing Utakata, the jinchuuriki of the six tailed slug.

"Uta-chan. You're looking rather lovely this day. Is there a reason you decided to pay me a visit?"

"Indeed there is Naruto-kun, Mei-sama has given me the opportunity to bring you to Kiri in order to repay your services in the civil war. Please, come quietly." Utakata said in genuine concern, she certainly did not want to hurt Naruto but she would not allow him to go without a fight…

"Unfortunately, I must decline. Although I doubt you will leave it at that." Naruto said as he entered a ready stance to draw his ninjato quickly. Hasaki and Kasumi both getting into ready stances as well, they would be damned if they allowed some randomly appearing bitch take their Naruto-kun.

"Forgive me for this Naruto-kun." Utakata said with a genuine note of sadness in voice as she hardened her resolve for what needed to be done. To her sides, her so far silent comrades removed their cloaks revealing them to be…

A/N Blam! Cliffhanger again! Guess the other two kunoichi for a cyber cookie. Hint, they are NOT from Naruto and both have incredible busts.

So the ending was mainly an excuse to set up the next chapter as a giant 3 on 3 fight between powerful kunoichi and Naruto. Expect it to be badass. And if Naruto seemed a bit too emotional at points it's because his lust is starting to get to him. Soon he will need a great fuck... But who will it be?

Who?
