A/N: First of all I am sorry that it took me this much time to finish this chapter. I know that I haven't posted a new chapter for almost 2 months. Believe me when I say it that there was too much office work I had to do. Hell I had to take some of my work to my home so that I can finish it on time. I had written almost three fourth of the chapter around one and the half month ago but wasn't able to finish the rest till today.

I will try to publish next chapter within a couple of weeks. And as I have said earlier that I don't plan on abandoning this story.

Hope you will enjoy this chapter. Thanks for your support.

Chapter 11 - First Day at New Home

Next Day Morning (5:30 AM - Yotsuki Mansion)

"Brat Wake up," said Kurama.

'Let me sleep Kurama. It's too early,' mumbled Naruto.

"Ungrateful brat, you are the one who asked me to wake you up. You even installed this giant alarm clock right next to my ear," said Kurama.

'I am feeling tired Kurama and my whole body is sore for some reason. So will you please let me sleep now,' mumbled Naruto once again as she tried to bury her head deeper into her pillow and snuggle closer to whatever she was holding.

Kurama was about to say something, but after observing the scene, he closed his mouth while smiling mischievously.

Naruto got the response of her movements in a form of a grunt and the pair of arms that were holding her, squeezed her even tighter.

'Wait arms?' thought Naruto as her eyes instantly shot open. The first thing that she has seen was none other than A's face. She was lying on top of him. Her head was resting in the crook of his neck and her arms were wrapped around his chest. A's hands were also wrapped around her small frame, holding her tenderly and protectively.

The previous night activity quickly caught up her and she turned beet red from head to toe.

'So we really did it last night,' thought Naruto after calming down a bit.

She carefully got out of A's hold while making sure that she didn't wake him up accidently. She slowly moved out from under the covers but not before pulling them back to cover A. She sat at the corner of the bed before pulling a spare sheet to wrap it around her naked frame to cover herself.

As soon as she got out from the bed to stand, her knees gave away, but she was able to grab a hold of the bed to support herself and thought 'Damn, My whole body is sore and I am not even able to stand properly.'

"Don't worry, I will take care of the pain. Nice performance by the way," said Kurama.

'WHAT! Don't tell me that you watched everything. I thought that I have cut off the link,' said Naruto embarrassingly.

"Oh, you did, but that didn't stop me from watching your memories. You can say that it was like watching a show that has already been telecasted," said Kurama.

'DAMN IT, KURAMA, YOU DON'T GO SNOOPING AROUND SOMEONE'S PRIVATE MOMENTS,' shouted Naruto in a mixture of embarrassment and anger.

"I was doing through your memories like I usually do and that memory just popped out around a corner. Besides, I thought that there was nothing private between friends," said Kurama.

'I will ask you that after I have shoved a giant stick up into your ass,' said an irritated Naruto.

"And here I thought that you don't like the people with a giant stick shoved into their ass. Meaning that you hate me now?" asked Kurama in a mocked hurt voice.

'I hate you Kurama,' said Naruto.

"Love you too kit. There, all done. Now you will be able walk easily, but you might be limping for some time," said Kurama.

'You didn't completely heal me on purpose, didn't you?' asked Naruto.

"Now where is the fun in that. Now go and be a wonderful wife. Then maybe your husband will reward you with another round of hot, mind boggling...," said Kurama but Naruto cut off the link before he could have finished his sentence before getting up and walking towards the bathroom with limps in her steps while mumbling 'Pervert Fox,'

A few minutes later she came out of the bathroom. She was wearing a short sleeve, purple colored, knee length bathrobe. She also has a towel wrapped around her still wet hair.

She looked towards the wall watch and it was showing 5:50 AM and thought 'Crap I only have ten minutes.' with that she went towards the kitchen as fast as her legs can carry her since she can still limping a bit.

After entering inside the kitchen, she started preparing the black coffee for A and B. It took her a couple of minutes to prepare the coffee. She poured it in two cups and placed them on a tray before moving towards B's room.

After entering inside B's room; since there was no door present because A has punched B through the door after his comment last night; she placed the tray on the side table and shook him to wake him up while saying "Wake up B-nii-sama."

"Let me take my beauty sleep bro," rapped B.

Naruto sweat dropped and thought 'He even rapped while sleeping.'

"Well, I am not your brother but your sister-in-law," said Naruto.

That seems to do the trick as B opened his eyes immediately. His eyes met with a smiling face of Naruto and said "First time woke up not on the floor yo."

"What do you mean?" asked a confused Naruto.

"Bro will kick my butt and throw me on the floor. He doesn't know how to wake up someone ya know," rapped B.

Naruto smiled and said "Don't worry. I will wake you up from now on. Here is your coffee. I am going to wake up A-sama, so you go and get ready." while handing a cup to B.

B took it and finished it in one go and ran towards the bathroom while saying "Bro is going to run me to the ground so I am going ahead to take the shine."

Naruto stood wide eyed in her spot and thought 'He actually finished hot coffee in one sip?' and shook her head before leaving towards A's and her room after picking up the tray.

She enters in the room and locked the door behind her since A only had a bedsheet to hide his naked form. Naruto placed the tray on the side table and sat on the bedside and shook him while saying "Wake up A-sama."

A grudgingly opened his eyes and looked towards Naruto. Naruto was still in her bathrobe and she still had the towel wrapped around her hair.

A looked towards her smiling face and blue eyes. For the first time he was seeing the happiness in those blue orbs. He could see the water droplets sliding down on the side of her face and neck; but there was something about the smile on her pink lips which captivated him. He couldn't help but mutter "Beautiful".

Naruto heard him and blushed a bit before taking her eyes off of him. Then she picked up the cup and handed it over to A while saying "Here is your coffee A-sama."

A got up and sat in the middle of the bed and accepted the cup from Naruto and said "What I have told you about calling me A-sama, Naruto-chan."

Naruto blushed and said "Sorry, I will remember it from now on A-kun. B-nii-sama went ahead for his morning workout. You go and get ready while I will prepare the breakfast," said Naruto as she got up to move towards the door.

But before she could have gone further, A grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him.

Naruto, who was facing the door, suddenly yelped when A suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him and set her on his lap with her back pressing against his chest.

Naruto was blushing madly, but managed to make out some words "W..What are you doing A-kun?"

"Can't I show any affection towards my lovely wife?" asked an amused A.

Naruto's blush only increased at the end of A statement and nodded timidly.

"I heard that love between couple increases when they share a drink together. So would you like to give it a try?" asked A as he offered his coffee to Naruto.

Naruto's blush only increased even further; if that was even possible. She took a hold of the cup, but A also hasn't released his hold on the cup and brought it to her lips. Naruto took a sip and cringed because of the bitter taste of the coffee.

A chuckled lightly and asked "You didn't like its taste, didn't you?"

Naruto shook his head in negative, making A chuckle once again as he took a sip of the coffee.

"How is it?" Naruto asked nervously.

"It's too sweet for my taste," replied A.

Naruto moved out from A's lap and turned towards him before saying in a worried voice "But I didn't put any sugar in it. I just now even tasted it. It wasn't sweet at all."

"That was before it touched your lips. You are just so sweet that even this coffee became sweet after being touched by your lips," said A.

A's comment made Naruto's face as red as tomato much to A's amusement as he took another sip.

It took him less than a couple of minutes to finish his coffee. He put the cup on the side table and turned towards Naruto, who was still sitting on the bed while looking down in embarrassment.

"Can you tell me something truthfully Naruto-chan?" asked A.

Naruto rose up her head and nodded.

After seeing Naruto's timid nod, A continued "How are you feeling?"

"A bit out of place since everything happened so suddenly, but I am also feeling happy after a long time," replied Naruto.

"Do you love me?" asked A all of a sudden.

Naruto averted her gaze and said "I cannot answer to this question A-kun."

"Please Naruto-chan. It is very important for me to know," said A.

Naruto sighs and looked down before saying "Honestly, I don't know that where I love you or not. I respect you immensely A-kun. I care for you and even like you, but you are like a stranger to me. I know nothing about you except what I got to know about you from your file. I am sorry A-kun." finished Naruto with a downcast expression.

A held out his hands for Naruto. In response, Naruto took hold of his hand as he slowly pulled her towards him. A let go of her hands and cupped her face and gently kissed her forehead before putting his own forehead against her and said "There is nothing to apologize for Naruto-chan and thank you for answering my question truthfully. I understand your dilemma. You can take as much time as you need. I will wait for you to come around even if I have to wait for my whole life."

Naruto eyes became moist after hearing A and she launched herself towards A while wrapping her hands around his neck and buried her head into the crook of his neck while sobbing slightly.

A wrapped his hands around her and tried to comfort her by gently rubbing her back.

Naruto calmed down after a few minutes, but didn't release the hug.

A got worried and asked "Are you alright Naruto-chan?"

Naruto pulled back before nodding and said "It's just nobody has ever considered my feeling before. Either they have forced their decision on me or tried to convince me otherwise. You are the first person, who has accepted my feelings without asking any question."

A smiled and placed his right hand under her chin and placed a gentle kiss on her lips. After a few moments of silence, A asked "Are you ready for some training?"

Naruto shook her head and said "My training can wait for a couple of days. Right now, the one who needed the training mostly, is you. You need to test out your new body as well as work on your chakra control. You don't know how much it might have been screwed up. You are a kage and you always need to be in your top condition. You have already wasted too much time. Now go and get ready for your training. I am going to prepare the breakfast."

"Are you sure?" asked A and after seeing her nod, he left for the bathroom.

He emerged in the room after a few minutes, only to find that Naruto was sitting in front of the dressing table, brushing her long hair. He walked up to her and stood behind her.

After seeing his reflection through the mirror, Naruto stopped the brushing and smiled a bit before she asked a question without turning around "Do you like the changes?"

A was looking younger. His body structure was the same as before, but all the scars has been long gone.

A grinned and said "Yeah! Though I can feel that my chakra capacity has been increased, but my chakra control is not up to the mark, but it's nothing that some chakra control exercises can't fix and my flesh seems to be more sturdy. I am also feeling a lot more powerful."

"You liked it?" asked Naruto.

"I liked it? No, I love it. Though I wonder what this new body is capable of? I can't wait to test it out," A replied, grinning like a mad man.

Naruto nodded as A put both of his hands on her shoulders before bending down and kissed the top of Naruto's head.

"Are you sure that you will be alright?" asked a concerned A. He didn't want to leave Naruto alone, especially after her small emotional outburst.

"Yeah! I am sure A-kun," Naruto replied while smiling slightly.

A nodded in response and said "I have called a village gathering at eight thirty to announce our marriage. I want to introduce you to the villagers."

Naruto nodded and said "Ok! I will be ready."

A nodded in response before leaving for his training.

After a few minutes past eight, A and B arrived inside the mansion. A was walking normally and B was limping slightly while rubbing his bruised left shoulder. After entering inside the kitchen, they found that Naruto was setting the dining table for breakfast.

Naruto was setting up the table for the breakfast. She was wearing a long sleeve, slash neck, brown color tank top with dark green color pants. She was also wearing a white apron. Her hair was tied in a twin ponytails and some wisps of hair was coming down on her forehead. As soon as she laid eyes on A and B, She said "You are back. Breakfast is almost ready. Why don't you go and take a bath till then?"

Both A and B nodded and left only to come back after a few minutes and set for the breakfast. Naruto, who has just finished setting up the table, served the breakfast.

Breakfast consists of steamed rice, miso soup, fried eggs, bacon and orange juice.

As soon as A and B tasted the food, their mouth water and started digging in like crazy. Naruto observed them with her mouth slightly open in shock because of their eating speed and thought 'Do they do anything slowly?'. She has barely touched her breakfast and both A and B has almost finished theirs, so she started eating her own breakfast but at her normal pace.

It took both A and B less than five minutes to finish it and said "That was delicious Naruto-chan. Where did you learn to cook like that?" asked A while B nodded in approval.

"Well, I used to prepare the food with Shizune-nee-chan for Tsunade-baa-chan since she can't cook to save her own life," replied Naruto.

"So how was your training? Is there any other consequences because of the mark?" asked Naruto.

"Well, my chakra control still needs some more work, but apart from that, I've almost adjusted to all the other changes like increased stamina and flash density etcetera thanks to B," said A while B muttered something under his breath as A continued "And I am sure that B wouldn't mind helping me out tomorrow."

"No way in hell ya motherfucker since I don't wish to die anytime sooner," rapped B.

A was about to give him his iron claw, but Naruto beats him.

Naruto turned towards B with a dangerous look in her eyes that promised pain beyond imagination.

"B-nii-sama, You will never swear in front of me. Got it," said Naruto with a sickly sweet smile.

B nodded furiously and wisely shut his mouth. He could have sworn that he has seen the visage of Shinigami appeared behind her.

A's mouth was wide open since nobody has ever able to make B shut up. A soon came out of his shocked state and grinned at Naruto in approval.

B's mouth open again, but this time another voice came outside of his mouth instead of his own.

"Ha ha ha ha, I have to thank you since this is the first time I have seen that someone is able to make B shut up," said Hachibi while B was muttering 'She is scary yo' inside his mind.

"You much be Hachibi and B-nii-sama's partner. It was nice to meet you Hachibi-san. Can I have the honor of knowing your name?" asked Naruto.

Hachibi was shocked after hearing it since not many people know that bijju have their own names.

"Since you know that us bijjus have names that means you also know Kyuubi's Name," said Hachibi and after seeing Naruto's nod in affirmation, he continued "Well, since you already know his name that means you must have earned his respect so I see no harm in telling you my name. The name is Gyuki and how is my arrogant brother doing by the way?"

"He is still grumpy and becoming more and more pervert with every passing day. At this rate, he might end up surpassing even my self proclaimed super pervert Godfather," replied Naruto.

"Pervert? Are you sure?" asked a shocked Gyuki and Naruto nodded in response.

"What did you do to him Naruto?" asked Gyuki but before she could have answered, A intervened.

"Hey, wait a minute, Bijju have the names?" asked A and after seeing both Naruto's and B's node, he said "Why didn't you tell me?"

"You never asked," replied Gyuki and A face faulted due to Gyuki's response.

"Apparently bijjus names are a very sensitive to them. One has to earn their respect to know their name. I wanted to tell you, but I can't break the Kyuubi's trust. I am sorry," replied Naruto with a downcast look.

"Don't worry Naruto-chan. No harm done," replied A.

"By the way, can you do me a favor? Can you ask B to stop his rapping? It's quite annoying," said Gyuki.

'My rapping is not bad ya fool.' said B.

"I don't think that it is possible Gyuki. His rapping is what makes him unique, but I will see what I can do to at least improve it," said Naruto.

"Ok then please do so. It was nice talking to you Naruto. See you later." said Gyuki as he went back inside the mindscape.

"By the way Naruto-chan, I am going to read your journal today. Is that okay?" asked A.

"Why A-kun? I have already told you everything?" asked Naruto.

"Just curious. So can I?" asked A.

"Okay, but I want it back by tonight," said Naruto.

"Okay," replied A.

"Hey, I wanna to read it too you fool since I wanna know about my sister too ya fool," said B.

A was about to say something, but Naruto beats him to it "Fine, I think that Darui-sama, C-sama and Mabui-san also wanted to know about my life in the leaf village and since they are your most trustworthy people, they can read it too but please no one else."

Both of them nodded as they waited for Naruto to finish her breakfast, which she finished in another couple of minutes.

"It is almost time for the announcement. We should take our leave now." said A.

Naruto nodded and created a shadow clone to do the dishes.

"Are you going to put up a genjutsu to hide your changes?" asked Naruto.

"I don't like to hide behind anything so most certainly not." replied A

Naruto nodded as A put his hand on her shoulder and all three of them left for the Raikage tower via shunshin.

All three of them arrived in Raikage office only to find some people were already waiting for them.

Darui, C, Mabui and Yugito has arrived a few minutes ago and were chatting among themselves. When they sensed three chakra signature, they turned towards the source, and their jaws hit the floor after finding out A's new appearance.

"B..boss w..what happened to you?" asked Darui.

"I will tell you later. Now everyone has arrived?" asked A.

They all nodded dumbly before A continued "Good, Let's go, it's time for the announcement." And they all went towards the balcony.

All the villagers were standing outside the Raikage tower, waiting for the announcement. Soon A and the party arrived on the balcony. Almost all the villagers were shocked after seeing the new appearance of their Raikage, while some completely ignored it. Before they could have said anything, A started his speech.

"People of the Village Hidden in the Cloud, I have asked you to come here so that I can introduce you to my wife Naruto Yotsuki. Naruto-chan, please come here," said A as he extended his hand towards Naruto.

Naruto who was standing between the other occupants, walked towards A and took a hold of his hand.

Many people were mesmerized by her beauty. Her kind smile has already warmed many people's hearts. Her golden hairs seem to be the blending with the sun rays perfectly. Almost all of them have an awe expression on their faces.

"This is my wife Naruto Yotsuki. As all of you already know that our village and the Village Hidden in the Leaves has formed an alliance through a marriage. But I would also like to inform you that instead of the regular oath, both of us have given the blood oath to each other. We are going to repeat our oath in front of all of you to show the kind of commitment we have given to each other. Naruto-chan if you please," said A.

Naruto nodded and started telling her vow as A followed her soon after. (A/N: I am not going to write it again.)

After they finished their vows, all of the villagers have the stunned expression on their faces. The old people were smiling and giving their blessing to the newly married couple.

"I hope that you all will honor my words and treat her with care and respect. Thank you," said A as all of them went inside the tower.

The crowd dispersed, but everybody was talking about them. They were happy that their Raikage finally got married. Some people were distraught because of Naruto's age, but also respected her because of her sacrifice. Some people were praising her because of her strong will, while some were talking about her beauty. But there was one point on which everybody agreed upon; They are going to give respect to Naruto that she deserves.

Inside the Raikage's Tower (After the Announcement)

A was sitting on his chair and everybody else was standing in front of him. They all seem to be waiting for someone. A couple of minutes later, they heard a knock and A gave his permission to enter.

The door opened and three people entered in the room. First was a blond haired girl, second was a red haired girl and the last one was a white haired boy.

"Good, you are here. Naruto-chan, meet Samui, Karui and Omoi, B's genin team. They have graduated from the academy a few weeks ago." said A. (A/N: Their appearance is as the same as cannon. Just imagine them in the same outfit, but in their teen)

"It's a pleasure to meet you Naruto-sama," said all three of them in unison as they bowed in front of her.

"Same here, but please don't address me with -sama." said Naruto.

"But you are Raikage-sama's wife," said Karui.

Naruto sighs and said "Just don't. Please." in almost a pleading voice. She was really getting tired of explaining this to everyone.

All three of them stood confused, but nodded none the less before A called them. "Samui, Karui and Omoi, I have a D-rank mission for you three. I want you to give Naruto a tour of our village."

All three of them nodded and asked Naruto to come with them. As they were about to go out, Naruto turned towards A and asked "A-sama, can you come to the compound for lunch?"

After seeing A's nod the confirmation, they left the Raikage tower.

After Naruto and company left, A asked C "C, can you check my physical age?"

"Why Boss? Did something happen?" asked C.

"I will tell you that later, first can you please check it?" asked A.

C nodded and gave A a quick medical checkup. A few minutes later C gasped and said "B..boss y..your age is a..around eighteen. How is that possible?"

"It seems that they were right," said A.

"Who were right boss?" asked Darui.

"You will find your answers soon enough. Now, Naruto-chan allowed you four to read her journal. You will find most of your answers here, but if anything is amiss then I will fill you in, so hold your questions till then," said A as he pulled out Naruto's journal and started reading it out aloud, so the others can listen.

Journal

Today is my fourth birthday. Tsunade-baa-chan gave me this journal and told me to write important events of my life inside it. She also told me that I should never write anything wrong in this journal because it will be like lying to yourself.

So I promise that I will write everything correctly in this journal and I never break my promises.

Today when we went outside for the shopping...

(A/N: I am not going to write it since I have already written almost all the important events in previous chapters.)

Time Skip (Streets of Cloud Village)

Samui, Karui, Omoi and Naruto were strolling down the streets of the cloud village. They have already shown her almost all the important places like the Academy, Library, Food stalls, Restaurants, etc. Many were bowing towards Naruto as a sign of respect. Some were even coming to talk to her. All the while Naruto was giving her heartwarming smile and answering them politely.

"This village is beautiful," said Naruto.

"I have to agree on that one." said Kurama.

"Is it more beautiful than the leaf village?" asked Omoi.

"Both villages are beautiful in their own way. While the leaf village is quite warm and surrounded by trees, On the other hand cloud village is a bit chilly in the morning and evening and surrounded by hills," said Naruto as another person came to greet Naruto, to which she bowed and replied kindly.

"They sure are giving you the proper respect," said Karui.

"They are not giving their respect to me, instead they are giving their respect to the wife of Raikage-sama," said Naruto.

"But this is better than the leaf village," said Kurama.

'Yes, This is way better than the leaf village,' replied Naruto.

"Isn't it the same thing? I mean you are Raikage-sams's wife?" asked Omoi.

"I always believed that respect is earned, not given. They are giving me the respect as Raikage-sama's wife, not as an individual like Darui-sama, C-sama and B-nii-sama," replied Naruto.

"Is that why you asked us to not to call you as -sama?" asked Samui.

Naruto nodded and said "That kind of respect is what I am starving for. It can only be earned through sweat and blood and I will gain it eventually, I am sure of it."

"If you don't mind me asking then how are you so confident that you will be able to earn their respect?" asked Omoi.

"That's because soon I am going to be a ninja of the cloud village. A-kun said that he is going to teach me himself," said Naruto.

"Raikage-sama is going to teach you?" asked all three of them in unison with shocked expressions on their faces.

"Yes, A-kun told me last night," said Naruto.

"So it's A-kun now, huh?" asked Karui in a teasing voice.

Naruto blushed slightly and said in embarrassment "S..Shut Up."

Karui laughed slightly while Samui and Omoi gave a small smirk after seeing Naruto's blush in embarrassment.

"What if she got killed during training and Leaf village demanded for retribution and Raikage-sama refused their demand and it ignited the a war between both the village, which lead to fourth great shinobi world war and...," said Omoi, but his speech ended in midway because a fist collided with his head.

"Don't mind this idiot. He has a habit of talking nonsense," Karui said.

Naruto nodded with a sweat drop.

"He is sure an idiot," said Kurama.

'Everybody has their own quirks Kurama,' said Naruto.

"So both of you talked last night," asked Samui.

"Yeah! We talked for a couple of hours to get to know each other," said Naruto and thought afterwards 'More like I talked and he listened.'

"So both of you spent the whole night talking to each other? And here I thought that Raikage-sama finally got laid," said Karui playfully.

Naruto blushed, but soon regained her composure and thought 'They don't know, who they were messing with. I wasn't called the prankster queen from hell for nothing.' with that an idea came into her mind for a payback.

"Well, we both were quite nervous, so A-kun decided to talk. I think it was Mabui-san idea because I didn't expect this from A-kun. Besides...," Naruto stopped in her tracks and turns towards them, forcing them to mirror her actions. "Who said that A-kun didn't get laid." finished Naruto with a wink and started walking again, leaving the other three on their places with their jaws touching the ground.

Soon they regained their body functions and ran towards Naruto.

"You mean that you and Raikage-sama actually..." trailed of Samui.

After seeing Naruto's nod in response, she said "But you are just a child, you haven't even reached your teen."

Naruto stopped and turned towards them once again before saying "You don't know much about the political marriage, do you?" after seeing their nod, she sighed and continued "The marriage is not finished until it is consummated. Besides, I stopped considering myself a child a long time ago. If it wasn't because of a request from one of my most precious people, I would have abandoned my childishness long ago."

She would have continued if she hadn't noticed something from the corner of her eyes.

A child around eight years of age standing outside of a weapon store. Three other people were unloading some supplies from a cart and using a pulley to transport them to the first floor. Suddenly one of the rope broke and ninja tools started falling towards the child.

"LOOKOUT," shouted one of them, but the child was frozen in fear.

Naruto had seen it so she dashed towards the child at the high chunin speed, while pumping the chakra to boost her speed. She passed the genin trio while pulling out the Karui's sword from its sheath, which was tied on her back.

She appeared in front of the child and started deflecting the falling weapons before she noticed a large block of metal. Knowing that it was almost impossible to block or deflect the large block, she jumped back while pulling the child along with her. The block fell few feet's away from her and she released a sigh of relief.

She put the child down and asked "Are you alright kid?"

The kid was shaking because of the earlier event, thus unable to answer to Naruto's question. Naruto noticed it and hugged him, while smoothing his back and said "Everything is ok. You are out of the harm's way."

At this point of time, many people have arrived at the scene and sighed in relief after seeing that everything was alright and started observing the scene with a smile on their faces.

The child calmed down after a few minutes, so Naruto asked once again "Are you alright?"

"Y.. Yeah," replied the child, though still a bit shaken up due the event a few moments prior.

"Naruto-san, Are you alright?" asked Samui, who has arrived at the scene when Naruto hugged the child but remained quite after observing the scene.

Naruto nodded towards Samui and asked the child "What is your name kid?"

"My name is Toji. Thank you for saving me. Are you Naruto Yotsuki-sama, Raikage-sama's wife?" asked Toji since he had heard Samui calls his savior Naruto.

"You are welcome and yes I am. What were you doing here all alone and where are your parents?" asked Naruto.

"My kaa-chan and tou-san are out of the village on a mission and I was looking for the weapons since I am going to start the academy soon," replied Toji.

Naruto gave him a warm smile and said "Ok but be careful next time. Got it?"

After seeing the boy's nod, Naruto ruffled his hair and said "Ok Toji its goodbye for now."

As she walked towards the Karui, the crowd dispersed while few people talking among themselves like 'Did you see how fast she moved?', 'She was so compassionate while smoothing that child.', 'She has the heart of the gold.', 'No wonder Raikage-sama seems to be happy while calling her his wife.', 'No wonder Raikage-sama asked us to give her the respect that she deserves.'

Naruto heard all of that and bushed because of the praises she was getting before returning back Karui's sword to her.

"Sorry for borrowing your sword without your permission," said Naruto.

"No problem. It looks like you are popular now?," said Karui.

Naruto smiled and scratched the back of her head in embarrassment since she rarely got praised back in the leaf village.

"Thank God you are alright otherwise Raikage-sama would have killed us if something has happened to you," said Omoi.

Naruto giggled at Omoi's fearful expression.

"That was cool, but how did you move so fast?" asked Samui.

"Because I trained a lot," replied Naruto and the trio's face faulted after hearing her casual response.

"Let's go back to the compound. I need to start preparing the lunch," said Naruto as other three nodded and started walking back towards the compound.

Same Time (Raikage Tower)

A and entourage was reading the last page of Naruto's journal.

I hope that after knowing everything, he will be able to forgive me. If not, then I will take whatever punishment he deems fit for me. Whether it is forbidding me from being a ninja, house arrest for my whole life, being his personal concubine, used as a breeding stock, banishment or execution.

If you are reading this Raikage-sama, then that means you have already given your judgment. I do hope that it was forgiveness, but if it's not, then I hope that you will find in your heart to forgive me in future.

If your decision was banishment, then I don't know what will I do with my life, but I will serve the cloud village; after all I took a blood oath, but it can only happen if I survive after releasing the Kyuubi.

If your decision was execution, then I just want you to know that I will not hold it against you and I will depart from this world with a satisfaction that even if it was for one day, I was truly yours through my mind, body and soul.

Journal End

A closed the journal and released the sigh. He was still trying to wrap his mind around everything that he had read. After spending some time with Naruto, he knew that she is quite special. She is beautiful, kind, caring, determined, selfless among many other things. But he didn't know that her commitments run this deep inside her. The last page of the journal has specially shaken him up to his very core. Getting a wife like her is every man's dream, but the kind of soul that she has only incarnate once in millenniums and only a very very lucky one get that person as his wife/her husband.

He looked towards the other occupants of the room. Mabui was wiping away her tears. C has his fist clenched shut. Yugito was releasing the killing intent. Her eyes were yellow with black slits instead of her regular black eyes due to Nibi's chakra leaking into her system because of her anger. Darui has a scowl on his face and for the first time in his life, B was completely serious.

"Darui, You were right about one thing," said A causing everybody's attention to divert towards him.

"About what boss?" asked Darui.

"I really got lucky in getting a wife like Naruto-chan," said A.

"So admitted it finally," said Darui with a smirk on his face.

"It's true Darui. Can anyone of you deny that?" asked A.

They all shook their heads.

"I still don't understand, how her family and the villagers could go something like that to her?" asked Mabui.

None of them have the answer to that question.

"I don't know that whether I should curse them for doing something so inhuman to her or congratulate her parents for giving birth to someone as incredible as Naruto-sama," said Darui.

"I thought that she asked you to now to address her with -sama," said C.

"She said that because according to her, she has not earned that respect, but after hearing all this, can any of you honestly say that she hasn't earned that?" asked Darui.

"Point taken," said C.

"Is this is how the jinchuuriki's are normally treated?" asked Yugito while Nibi was trying to calm her down.

"No, Maximum they got scorned and isolated by the society. How she got treated was completely out of normal, even for a jinchuuriki," replied A.

"How can she go through all of that and come out with a smile on her face?" asked Yugito.

"This is one of the mysteries that make her what she is," said A with a smile.

"B, you are the one who can remotely relate to her. What you have to say about it?" asked A.

"It takes undying resolve and determination not to fall into darkness. I may have forgiven Motoi when he tried to kill me, but it still hurts. A jinchuuriki's power doesn't come from bijju, but from something else. Something as big and bright as the sun. But to me, it seems like she is that sun herself." said B in a completely serious voice if his lack of rapping was anything to go by.

Everyone was shocked after hearing B's explanation.

"B is right. It's no wonder that she managed to break through the Kyuubi's cold hearted shell." said Gyuuki.

Everybody fell silent for a while, until Mabui asked one question "Did Naruto-sama really told you all those things? You know...when she asked for the possible punishments?" asked Mabui.

A let out a sigh and nodded before proceeding to tell them everything that happen yesterday and today's morning.

"She is right, you know. She knows nothing about you. Why don't you take her out for dinner tonight? You can tell her about yourself over dinner," said Mabui.

A thought for a moment before nodding. That seems like a good idea.

"Mabui, I need a favor," said A, shocking everyone as he never asks a favor from anyone.

"What is it Raikage-sama?" asked Mabui.

"I want your help in buying Naruto-chan a gift." asked A.

Mabui smiled and nodded as A stood up from his seat and said "We should go right now. We still have half an hour left before I have to go to the compound for lunch and you are coming with me B. No excuses."

"Planning that any way. No way, I am going to miss her devine cooking." rapped B.

Everybody nodded and left the Raikage-tower.
