I do not own Naruto. But I own every season of Inuyasha.

"Akatsuki." Naruto thought to himself as he woke up and stared at the ceiling for a long while.

Not only were they after all of the jinchuriki, but the secret leader of the criminal organization was the ninja that killed his mother. What was worse was that Naruto knew he didn't stand a chance against Any of them, or at least he wasn't strong enough to kill two at once. He didn't know why they were hunting the best bijuu, but when a small group of elite terrorists are building funds and seeking that much power it was definitely bad. And the scary part was that they were capable of pulling it all off, each team being an excellent pairing of S rank missing nin. Naruto had to get stronger, as not only was his life and other's in jeopardy, but his very dream was in danger.

"Hokage." He thought again his eyes narrowing slightly.

The old man was the strongest in the village, but Naruto knew even he couldn't fend off the entire Akatsuki. Even if he was really the strongest of all the Hokage before him, Naruto knew first-hand how dangerous many in the group really were, and he didn't like the thought of getting the Hokage or anyone else involved. He didn't really know what to do at all. Of course he wanted the find and at least warn the other jinchuriki, but he didn't know where to start in the least. His only real options right now were to get in contact with his godfather soon or leave the village. He couldn't put Sakura in danger anymore, not Sakura chan.

He couldn't tell you exactly what it was about Sakura really made him like her as much as he did, but he figured that they were really kindred spirits deep down. While she didn't know what exactly she wanted to achieve as a kunoichi beside being competent, she showed a lot of drive, wit, and passion and she was very charming and pretty. While Itachi had called her his girlfriend, he sent sure if that label really fit her especially considering his situation with the Akatsuki. How could he date her if he had a large group of Kage level maniacs after him? No when he saw her he was going to have to set things straight, for her own good. Naruto couldn't be selfish and endanger someone he loved, especially not Sakura. Watching Itachi about to slaughter her had nearly caused his heart to stop, he couldn't bear to think about a world without Sakura.

As if it was fate the door to his room opened and in walked the beautiful pink haired kunoichi, just as Naruto sat up on the side of his bed.

"Naruto kun!?" She loudly said with her eyes wide from her surprise. She had her wrist wrapped in bandages and her arm in a sling.

"Sakura chan!" He exclaimed already in front of her examining her wrist closely and frowning. "Are you alright!? What happened after I passed out?"

Sakura immediately blushed as always from his close proximity before slowly answering." I killed him...or someone. His face changed after I hit him with my chakra, I really thought he had killed you!"

Naruto now curious asked." Chakra?"

"I'm not really sure, I saw Hokage sama earlier who had asked me to demonstrate what I did. I was stabbed by one of the poisoned chopsticks you gave me for my hair, and Hokage sama's hypothesis is that that acted as a catalyst to activate a dormant bloodline. What's really weird about it is that he said its from the clan of shinobi that Hanzo came from, making me immune to most poisons and by exposure to different varieties it increases potency. It's supposed to be extremely dangerous and difficult to master. I never did know my dad, so I guess it's from his side of the family since my mom's a civilian."

Naruto was very surprised by this news, as his shocked facial expression said it all. Sakura had a bloodline!?

"What's it called? Naruto asked very much interested.

"Dokusei." She proudly answered.

Naruto couldn't tell what it was that was different about Sakura, but she seemed to be more at ease than he had ever seen her. She was relaxed in a confident manner, as if she hadn't just faced an S rank missing ninja that massacred one of the most powerful shinobi clans to exist single handedly. Or at least that was how it appeared.

Looking closely at the girl he had become fond of, while normally he may have blushed a bit from staring right now his eyes were watery with relief that she was safe. Sakura saw this and instantly she was hugging Naruto tightly, shocking him a little.

"I thought you were hurt?" He said hugging just as tight after strengthening his hold from a gentle embrace. He closed his eyes and breathed in the scent of her hair, smelling strawberries and something else. Probably kiwi. They broke apart both flustered after a long while, staring deeply into each other's eyes. Their faces drawing nearer, Naruto was surprised when Sakura boldly jumped him after seeing him reciprocate her advance. While they had made out a more than a few times, Sakura was always too scared to go further and Naruto never tried to push her into letting him fuck her stupid, despite her secretly wishing he would. That had all changed now, and she slipped her tongue into his mouth causing his eyes to immediately glaze over as he forgot what he was about to say.

Sparks flew like the raikiri as they moaned into each other's mouths, feeling the chemistry between them more so than they ever had previously. And it definitely had always been there, as if they could have been made for each other. Naruto ran his hand through her hair and grabbed her ass as he pulled her on top of him, laying down on the hospital bed while his boner pressed into her body shocking her. The girls head rose up as she bit her bottom lip and started grinding into his length nearly driving him mad. Then she stopped and rose up, just about to undress herself when Naruto snapped out of his lustful trance with a frown on his face.

"Sakura hime wait... I have to tell you something..something important about me, and we can't go any further until I do..If we can be together at all."

She looked truly surprised by his admission, and curious as well as worried. She really wanted to be with Naruto forever, even having recurring dreams of marriage and kids with the future Hokage. For some reason she felt a lot more secure with herself now, and she wasn't scared to give herself to the boy she loved with all her heart." What..What is it!?" She asked wondering what could be so important.

After Naruto explained his heritage, the fact that only his family could keep the nine tails sealed, and the Akatsuki situation she just stared slack jawed for a while looking as if she was deep in thought. Naruto started getting worried after a while, and he decided that he'd press his point by declaring." I never want you to be hurt because of me, and the path I have to walk is for me alone. I don't know how you feel about me Sakura, but I treasure as a friend and I love you in so many ways.. I always will. Believe it."

Getting up and walking to the door, Naruto was stopped when she suddenly grabbed his wrist with a hurt look in her watery eyes before smashing her lips into his. It was the single most passionate gesture Naruto had ever received and probably ever would, and he kissed her back deeply before withdrawing from her and pushing her away.

"We can't!" He sadly said looking away from her and down at the ground.

"Naruto I love you and nothing will ever change that, I'll stay by your side forever!" She exclaimed desperately trying to stop him from avoiding her. She knew if she let him walk away there was a possibility of her never seeing him again, and it scared her more than death itself. Attacking Itachi had been nothing compared to the thought of life without Naruto Uzumaki.

The boy truly looked torn and distraught as he was about to answer, but he never got the chance as an Anbu appeared in a swirl of leaves.

"Uzumaki San Hokage sama has summoned you and you need to come with me immediately." The masked shinobi calmly informed him.

Looking at Sakura apologetically but silently thanking the Anbus timing, Naruto stepped closer to the ninja letting him place his hands on his shoulder while telling Sakura." I have to go Sakura hime, go and get some rest and I'll see you at the Academy okay."

He saw her look of hurt that made his chest pang and his stomach feel sick as he disappeared to see the old man.

~A While Later~

Exiting Jiji's office after a very long detailed discussion about Naruto's recent activities, Naruto began the long trek toward his apartment deep in thought. He had told the old man everything about the Forest of Death, his ability to use Kurama's chakra, and his vendetta with Itachi Uchiha. While he didn't necessarily really want to seek Itachi out, they definitely wouldn't be having a discussion if he ever saw him again. He had hurt his friends and even broke Sakura's wrist. It may have been nearly finished healing thanks to medical ninjutsu, but still.

The old man had asked him why he thought it was Itachi in the first place and Naruto then had to explain about Kurama being controlled by an unknown shinobi with a sharingan eye, leaving out a lot of details about the entire situation. He wanted to wait to speak to Jiraiya, and he hoped that maybe the man would let him join him in his travels. Thankfully the old man had been thoroughly distracted by the fact that he could use Kurama's chakra and had sent a message to him beforehand to return to the village to check the seal. The only problem was that he usually stayed very discreet and low profile, so he may not be able to be found until he checked in with the fire shadow.

Naruto further surprised the Hokage with a serious request, a favor he needed when he graduated that was very important to him. The Hokage agreed since he had been thinking of something similar anyways, ever since he witnessed the boy challenge the Anbu after that embarrassing prank of his. He let the boy go to train and take his mind off of things while having an Anbu tail him to make sure he was alright. Hiruzen didn't know exactly what he'd do with the troublesome blonde, but he smiled hoping that he'd take the hat off of his head soon. He was the best future candidate after all, besides another troublesome blonde.

Arriving at his cozy living space, Naruto took a long soothing shower while he practiced his sensory technique, noticing that he was most likely the only person present in his apartment building. It was true he hadn't really seen any neighbors for years, but he hadn't thought the entire building would be vacant. Go figure. Shaking his head while dying his wet shaggy hair, he wondered if he could possibly purchase the worn down building with some of his money he had sealed.

Exiting his bathroom he also considered the fact that his sensory technique didn't seem to penetrate into the ground below him, which was a large flaw in his eyes. Too many powerful shinobi seemed to know the earth jutsu that allowed underground travel, and that simple technique was extremely dangerous in application. Putting on some new black shinobi pants, his black gi top, sandals, sash and black bandages, he decided he'd go out for a walk to think about his next move. Dropping his sensory technique which he had just named the "Flow" he boiled a pot of pork flavored ramen and ate in silence thinking about everything.

After washing his dishes, he went to his front door and opened it, and his eyes widened in surprise at who was standing there. Her arm stretched out like she was just about to knock, his crush Anko Mitarashi greeted him and took a step backward, looking like she was both curious about something and a little hesitant as well.

"Anko hime!?" He said shocked that she had popped up suddenly after so long.

"I heard that Itachi Uchiha attacked you and your classmates, and that you were almost able to fight on par with him. I wanted to find out what happened for myself so I decided to come and find you " She quickly explained.

"I don't know if I was fighting on par with him...It seems like he was holding back on me even though I went all out. If I see him again I'll definitely kick his ass though!"

"Did he really kill your mother!?" She questioned feeling a little sorry for the boy.

"No I was mistaken..It was..someone else... Someone I have to kill, and not just to avenge her." He quietly replied with a serious expression.

She was just about to ask who it was when Naruto suddenly smiled at her. It was the same smile that she had daydreamed about daily. The smile that she loved.

"Umm would you like to come in and hang out, you don't have to stand out in the hallway. As matter of fact, I'll make us some dango since I've started loving it myself and I have a few bottles of Sake put up. It's the good stuff too!"

Anko looked like she was about to decline but Naruto would have none of it and beckoned her inside. He wasn't being perverted at all just genuinely friendly, despite the fact that she haunted his dreams for months without end. He had a lot on his plate at the moment, but that didn't mean that he'd miss the chance to get to know her better.

They chatted a bit about Sasuke and Sakura who had also squared off against Itachi, and Naruto's academy life in general. She laughed at Irukas expense because of all the pranks Naruto pulled on the man, and she told him about a few if her own involving snakes and dildos surprisingly. Naruto nearly died from laughter at whatever poor woman antagonized Anko, and eventually he finished making the dango and grabbed the sake and they ate and drank together while talking more. Naruto told her all about the Uzumaki clan and his friendship with Shino who he had promised himself to visit asap. He also introduced her to his large jaguar Nekome and his grey wolf Lu who he had released from their pokeball. For whatever reason they both hated Anko with a passion, but they didn't attack or anything since Naruto was present and was a bit upset at their behavior. They eventually lightened up a tiny bit though, and Nekome allowed her to pet her back gently. Lu was another story.

After going through a couple bottles of Sake after finishing the delicious dango, Anko decided to ask Naruto another personally question.

Blushing just a little she said." So are you still..are you seeing anyone?"

Thinking of Sakura instantly with Yakumo and TenTen also flashing through his mind, he answered her in complete honesty saying." Well..not exactly. There are a few girls that I feel like I could have a relationship with, but I don't know if it's a good idea anymore to date or anything. Itachi didn't come there for Sasuke, he came there for me, and I don't want anyone I love to get hurt because of my problems, you included."

Anko blushed deeply, her face turning bright red as she processed what Naruto had accidentally just said. He basically just professed that he loved her. Her!? Feeling a warmth throughout her body that wasn't just from the alcohol, Anko subconsciously moved close to Naruto and softly told him." You know you don't have to face everything by yourself. I can take care of myself in case you don't remember, or do I have to "kill" you a few more times to remind you?"

Naruto laughed at this and took it as a challenge loudly declaring." Bring it on Anko hime, just be warned I've gotten a ton stronger since then, I even made this killer new technique!"

Jumping in her with wiggling fingers he started to tickle the jonin, laughing maniacally as he assaulted her stomach catching her off guard. Or so he thought until she wrapped her leg around him using it as a lever and flipped him in a snake like movement. Grabbing his wrists to pin him, they ceased their play as they noticed their position. Anko was straddling Naruto, giving the blonde a great view of her cleavage and instantly causing him to blush. Anko was also blushing and noticed his length was quickly hardening to the point of rivaling steel, and his size was impressive, pushing into her miniskirt and pressing into her clit.

Their faces drew closer and closer, both if their faces red from what was happening. It seemed Naruto's dreams were coming true as their lips met, and the boy instantly got aggressive sticking his tongue in her mouth and pulling her close to his body. They were forced to stop however when Nekome and Lu started growling in fury, but Naruto quickly resealed them both and jumped Anko without thinking. He wasn't gonna let her get away, not anymore!

"Damn Anko I've wanted you ever since I first saw you. You really are the most beautiful woman I've seen!"

Naruto bit the moaning kunoichis neck, subconsciously marking her as his by leaving a noticeable hickey before smashing his lips onto hers. Running his hand through her beautiful purple hair that he loved, he was gobsmacked by her sexiness when her ponytail came down revealing her hair was a little longer than shoulder length. She then slid out of her trench coat and he picked her up bridal style, carrying her to his room and roughly throwing her on his bed, never breaking eye contact as he took off his shinobi pants while she slid her skirt down. She then skillfully discarded her fishnet as well, letting Naruto behold her nude form and with lusty eyes. Remembering Icha Icha The Game Plan, Naruto dropped to his knees and pulled her closer to him by her thighs, attacking her smooth moist pussy with his mouth after easily finding her clit. He used his tongue with true enthusiasm, examining her reactions to different things he would do until he found her sweet spot. Using the tip of his tongue after a little trial and error, he was pleased to see her body convulse while she moaned loudly. Her legs then wrapped around his head as she came, shocking the boy because of her strength.

"Mmmmm!MMMM!" Was all he got out before she released him looking a little embarrassed and guilty. She had just nearly crushed the blonde's head with her thighs while cumming, and Naruto's expression was one that promised payback as he lined up his throbbing member in between her folds. She stopped him however, sitting up and grabbing his hardness with her hand and softly stroking it before teasing him with the tip of her tongue. She licked all around the tip of his shaft making him grunt in ecstasy, getting more and more turned on while watching her pleasure him. Then she easily took his entire length and began bobbing her head rapidly, causing Naruto to nearly collapse because if the strength of her suction. Grabbing her hair while thrusting forward every time she bobbed, Naruto didn't last long before he felt his climax rising from within him and his length started to twitch wildly.

"Anko..Anko..Anko..Ahh I'm gonna!"

Blasting into her hot throat, Naruto shut his eyes as tight as possible while jerking her head roughly a few times, thoroughly getting himself off with her mouth. Now he started feeling a little guilty, and was about to apologize for his rough treatment when he saw her eyes. Anko was looking at him with admiration and love, her glazed eyes and spreading legs beckoning him to come into her.

Naruto wasted no time, lining up his length with her wet folds once more and entering her tight pussy with ease, noticing that she wasn't a virgin. It didn't matter at all, and it wasn't like he was a virgin either so he didn't even begin to judge. All he did was thrust into the woman he wanted like Jiji's hat, making her shout his name repeatedly as he increased his pace to extreme speed. After a long stretch of fucking her roughly, he slowed his pace to long smooth strokes that made her hit the headboard of his bed. Pulling her back a little, he quickly reentered and grabbed her head with both hands, holding her still as he made love to the kunoichi assassin. He lasted a long time without hardly stopping at all, fucking her stupid and making her stick her tongue out while her eyes rolled back. She had came 8 times already, and Naruto kept hitting the same spot that seemed to affect her the most, thrusting into her at just the right angle. Anko literally screamed as she exploded from a G Spot orgasm, coating Naruto's member with a flood of hot slick juice. He was like greased lightning as he sped up his pumps to maximum velocity, and with a roar he filled Anko with so much of his seed he caused her to fun again from the feeling of it inside of her. They both just panted after what had to be the best sex ever, unable to form words to express the ecstasy. Naruto rolled her over on top of him, laying on a part if the bed that wasn't soaked and holding her close to him, never wanting to let her go. Anko was all his now.

~1 Week Later~

Graduation was less than two months away, and despite the fact that it was a Friday when Anko had shown up Naruto still had skipped four full days of class. He had spent an entire week banging the snake kunoichi all over his apartment, even in the kitchen while cooking dango and also on the ceiling using the tree walking exercise as an anchor. He really didn't want to ever let her go, she just fitted into his life so perfectly. It had gotten so bad that they wouldn't even leave for food and sake, but Anko took care of all that by creating a shadow clone and sending it off. Naruto was instantly by the jonin level technique, and after "persuading" Anko with his tongue and a promise of heaps of dango, she taught him the technique which he instantly was able to perform. He really needed to "run out" of dango ingredients more often, as she had taken to coating his length with the sweet bean paste and doing unimaginable things to him.

Truth be told he could've sent a clone to school, but honestly he didn't want to face anyone from class at the moment besides Shino. His clones had hung with the Aburame daily and discussed a great many thing, like how Sakura had recently become famous throughout the village even slightly overshadowing Sasuke. The Uchiha had been strangely sedate about the entire situation, even about the fact that Sakura was the one to defeat his brother. Everyone knew it wasn't actually Itachi but the product of some forbidden jutsu that allowed him to use another person's body as an avatar, but Naruto was sure that Sasuke should be livid. Instead Shino had informed him that the boy had started acknowledging his Fangirl club, when he wasn't training his ass off of course. It was definitely strange.

Speaking of being pissed, apparently a Hyuga clan member had attempted to assassinate the "avenger" but instead met his demise at said Uchiha's hand. The branch member had been a jonin and the news spread throughout the village just like the Itachi incident, and even the Hokage was forced to intervention and demand a ceasefire. Sasuke was also heavily reprimanded for using the 64 palms technique, but since he wasn't even a shinobi yet he couldn't really be persecuted for breaching a clan law. He was instead followed by Anbu constantly, having an order of protection from Jiji and also being forced to vow not to use the Juken technique again. He agreed saying it was useless anyways which only solidified the Hyugas disdain further and just seemed to not care at all.

Shino didn't even have to protect Sakura as much as he thought he would, since after Sasuke's first challenge he didn't try again. The Anbu had intervened swiftly since the Hokage had expected such a thing, and he basically had placed a restraining order on the raven haired boy. Very ironic. Sakura had pestered Shino non stop about Naruto, and it honestly made him feel really bad. Despite the fact that he had met Anko first and had loved her since first sight, he felt like he had betrayed Sakura deeply. Shaking his head and clearing his head as he approached the academy, he was startled to see everyone standing outside and milling around. Sakura was in tears, Sasuke looked sick to his stomach, and even Chouji wasn't eating his barbecue chips for once.

Stepping up to Shikamaru who was teary eyed and staring at the clouds Naruto greeted him asking." Hey Shikamaru, what's goin on?"

Shutting his eyes Shikamaru replied with a hurt voice." Ino...They found her...Ino's dead.
