"Sakura-chan this is my third bath this day," Lee said as Sakura scrubbed his back. He was completely oblivious to the fact that she was raking her hands over his perfectly sculpted body. Sakura smiled to herself as she wetted the sponge in the bucket next to the bed then proceeded to wiped down his back again.

"The medic nin's told me to look after you because they have a lot to deal with," Sakura answered as she watched his back muscles ripple under his skin. Her face was completely red as she let her mind wander. "Now shut up and just enjoy this."

"Yes Sakura-chan," Lee said as he let her have her way. "I have to get back to my training."

"You can't train in this state," Sakura said quickly. "Your arm and leg needs to be healed first."
"What happens if I can't be healed?" Lee asked quietly. Sakura stopped her hand motion and sighed. She wrapped her arms around his chest from behind and pulled him into a tight hug.

"Whatever happens," Sakura said into his neck. She placed a light kiss on his neck causing him to gasp. Lee turned towards her with a blushing face. "I will be here every step of the way. And if what I hear is true you should be fine."

"What did you hear?" Lee asked as he inched his blushing face towards Sakura who was smiling up at him.
"That Naruto is leaving on a special trip to retrieve our new Hokage," Sakura answered as she moved her face closer.

"How does that help me?" Lee asked stopping his motion and raising his eyebrows. Sakura chuckled to herself as she closed the distance and gave Lee a kiss.

"He is looking for Tsunade of the Sannin," Sakura said as Lee's eyes looked confused. Sakura sighed and kissed his cute face again. "The best Medic nin in the world!"

"So what do we do till she gets here," Lee asked as Sakura leaned him back on his bed and slowly climbed into it as well.

"I will be showing you a new training exercise," Sakura whispered into his ear causing Lee to blush five shades of red. Sakura laughed lightly as she placed a slow kiss on him causing him to smile under her.

"How is this relevant again?" Naruto complained as he tried to pop a rubber ball that was currently in his hand. He was currently walking with Jiraiya as they left the last town. That was a total mess, and Naruto knew now more than ever that he needed to get stronger.

Flashback:

"Who is it?" Naruto asked as he got up from the bed.

He was currently waiting for Jiraiya to return from his date with some young girl that approached him when they entered the town. After sharing a high five they parted ways and Naruto headed towards the Inn they would be sharing. He was currently practicing the popping of balloons and was disturbed from his training by a knock at the door. Naruto walked to the door and pulled it open. There standing in the door way was a giant of a man with something large on his back. He had dark blue skin and razor sharp teeth. Naruto looked to the second man who looked like a less emo Sasuke. The less emo Sasuke stepped forward a bit and Naruto looked up into his eyes before diverting his gaze. Kakashi and Guy taught him a bit on how to counter the legendary eyes of the Uchiha.

"My brothers always said not to answer the door to strangers," Naruto said as he slammed the door and created six frag clones. Naruto jumped to the window and turned as the door was blown off it's hinges. "Keep up bitches!"

"Wha…" The blue man started but the explosion that followed rocketed him through several walls and into the next building over. The other man was blasted to opposite way and into the street coming to a halt at the feet of the Legend, The amazing Super Pervert himself, Jiraiya of the Sannin. Naruto appeared behind Jiraiya and crossed his arms over his chest.

"You shouldn't be here," Jiraiya said softly causing Naruto to raise his eyebrows. "Where is your partner?"

"Blasted to the other building," Itachi replied softly as well. He slowly got up and brushed himself off staring at the young blond seemingly untouched by the blast. Naruto was in awe at that nothing hit him. "Nice work Naruto-kun. Now if you excuse me I have to retrieve my teammate. Jiraiya-sama, same meeting place?"

"Of course," Jiraiya said with a slight smirk as he made a slow attempt at fighting him. Itachi blocked it and in the process seemed to hand Jiraiya a small scroll. "Now get out before you raise suspicion!"

"Till next time then," Itachi said as he disappeared in a swirl of leaves.

"Who was that?" Naruto yelled as he looked over at Jiraiya who placed the scroll in his side pouch. Before he could answer a loud scream was heard behind them. Turning they saw the Emo himself.

"WHERE IS HE?" yelled Sasuke as he ran towards them. Naruto just sighed as he looked at Jiraiya with a confused look. "I MUST AVENGE MY CLAN! I MUST KILL HIM!"
"Shut up you dolt!" Jiraiya said as he clubbed him over the head knocking him out. Then moments later Guy appeared picking up the Emo and taking him back to Konoha. He told Naruto of Kakashi and the situation at home before leaving.

"And this lady can cure him?" Naruto asked as they left the town. Jiraiya nodded as he tossed him a rubber ball.

"She will," Jiraiya said with a smirk as Naruto struggled to pop the ball. "Now continue training."

"Yeah yeah," Naruto said ignoring him and concentrating on the ball.

Flashback end:

"It will make your attack stronger," Jiraiya said as they walked into a local bar. Inside Jiraiya quickly spotted his prey. Tsunade was sitting with her assistant in one of the many booths pounding back another shot. "Here we go. Naruto, act like yourself and there is no way she won't come back with us."

"What do you mean act like myself?" Naruto asked with a confused look but followed the older man. His answer was a small chuckle and a ruffle of the hair.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Screamed Ino as she walked into Shikamaru and Choji's hospital room. Shikamaru was currently playing Temari in shogi as Choji was talking to a group of visiting Kunochi that were surrounding his bed. They each eyed him hungrly as Choji made them laugh with one of his jokes. They all looked up to see Ino standing there with her arms folded.

"Hello Ino-chan," Choji said with a wide smile. The other girls just huffed before turning their attention back to Choji.

"Everyone out!" Ino yelled as she pointed towards the door. "It's time for our team meeting!"

"Um we don't…"Shikamaru started but Ino's glare shut him up.

"What are you talking about Ino-chan?" Choji asked with a raised eyebrow. Ino glared down at Choji causing him to gulp. "Ladies I will talk to you again sometime. It seems we have a meeting."

"No problem Choji-kun," Said one busty mist nin. She leaned down and placed a simple kiss on his cheek causing Ino to huff. "I will be back later to listen to your stories again."

After the Kunochi left Ino slammed the door shut and paced the room. Her eyes landed on Shikamaru and Temari who were watching with calculating eyes. In a motion that seemed almost practiced the two stood and walked out at the same time. Choji's eyes narrowed on Ino as she turned towards her rotund friend and sighed. She was going to kill that Mist Nin for leaving her lipstick mark on his smiling face. Choji didn't relies it and thought the killer intent leaking out from Ino was directed towards him, gulped again before coughing.

"Are you alright Ino-chan?" Choji asked as he leaned up in his bed a bit. "I hope I didn't do anything wrong."
"No you're fine Choji-kun," Ino spat out quickly causing Choji to wince. Ino sighed and in three strides was in Choji's bed with him, shocking the bigger boy. Ino snuggled into his side and rested her head on his chest with a content sigh. "I'm going to say this once, and you will listen ok?"

"O-ok," Choji stuttered out. Ino smiled at his shyness and traced her hand over his chest. He wasn't all fat underneath. His muscles seemed to bulge out more than the fat, but he still need his reserves for his hard hitting Jutsu's. Him being the being the strongest when it came to brute strength and all. Feeling protected and safe in his arms was a feeling that Ino would never trade, and this moment was great.

"If you're kissed again," Ino started out as she stopped her hand from trailing over his stomach and chest. She looked him straight in the eye before continuing. "By another women..."

"UGH!" Choji coughed out as Ino's hand snapped towards his family jewels. She grabbed them tightly marveling at the size for a moment before continuing.

"I will rip these off," Ino said softly causing him to nod his head up and down quickly. "You're mine, Choji-kun. And don't you forget it!"

"I know that now," Choji squeaked out wincing in pain. Ino nodded before letting go and placing her hand back on his chest

"That is why you get to keep them now," Ino said with a satisfied smile. God's, the rumors where right about the Akimichi men. Looking up and giving her evil glare that Anko taught her. "Got that?"

"Yes Ino-hime," Choji said with a sly smirk and pulled her closer and kissed her gently causing her to smile. Ino's eyes widen as he moved his kiss lower to her neck causing her to gasp quickly before letting out a slight moan.

"See Haku-chan," Anko said with glee as they watched the entire scene from the tree outside the windo. "I'm amazing with advice!"

"She's in complete control," Haku said as she made a couple of notes in a small pen pad. Anko smirked and crossed her arms over her chest.

"The direct approach is the best approach," Anko said in a mature voice. "Grab your man's balls and he will walk up, down, left, or whichever way you please. That's the secret Ladies….wait a second!"

"What's wrong Anko-san?" Haku asked as she looked up from her note pad. Anko's eyes narrowed and she flew out of the tree like a women possessed. Haku's eyes followed as she landed on a poor man that seemed to be crossing underneath the tree. He was an elderly doctor that was about Eighty.

"THE TEST TELL ME!" Yelled Anko as the old man struggled to raise a folder to the crazy ninja. Haku landed next to her as Anko opened the folder. Anko's eyes went wide and her hands fell to her stomach.

"Anko-san are you alright?" Haku asked as she placed a hand on her shoulder. Anko still stunned from what she read on the folder wasn't moving. The old man under her was gasping for air so Haku took it upon herself to move her to a park bench. They sat there for what seemed like hours waiting for the shocked Anko to come out of her stupior.

"Hello ladies," Said a voice from behind them. All at once Anko flew from her set and tackled the man to the ground. Iruka grumbled a bit under her but noticed that she had tears in her eyes. "Anko-hime what's wrong?"
"I'm..."She started but the rest was a mumbled mess as she whispered into his neck. Iruka sighed as he picked her up in his arms and held her bridal style.

"Haku-chan," Iruka said looking up at the young girl. "I will take care of her from here, we will see you tomorrow."
"Is she ok?" Haku asked as she looked at her sensei.

"I'm pregnant!" Anko said as she looked up at Iruka who was now swaying back and forth before Haku caught him. Anko smirked down at the man and gave him a quick kiss causing the young chunnin to come back to life bit. "You're going to be a father."
"I…"Iruka started with a shocked face then he produced a grin. Anko smirked at him as he pulled her into a hug. He kissed the top of her head whispering I love you, once more. "I'm going to be a father!"

Kin walked the streets of Konoha with her ANBU escort. She was able to go out under the watch, and she was itiching to stretch her legs. After giving up everything she knew about the bastard that tried to kill her, she was given the chance to become a leaf Nin. She was contemplating it for the moment. Till she was given a sensei and the leaf head band, she would be hounded by this annoying purple haired ANBU. But she was given a field to keep up in her training. As she approached she heard the sound of drills ripping apart something. She looked towards the middle of the Training field and saw the dog boy destroying the training post. She stopped and watched for a moment as he stopped his attack and stretched his half naked body. She watched his muscles ripple under his sweaty skin and felt a blush rush to her face.

Kiba sighed as picked up his shirt and wiped the sweat from his brow. His nose picked up a scent coming from behind him and he turned to see the ex-Sound nin staring at him. Her long black hair and was pulled into the low pony tail that seemed to sway a bit in the wind. Kiba smirked as he watched her hide her blush that was growing on her face.

"Enjoying the view?" Kiba asked as he turned towards her with a cocky smirk. She huffed and turned to leave causing Kiba to sigh. "I'm kidding, care to join me in a quick spar?"
"I can't fight you," She said as she started to walk towards Kiba in the middle of the training field. "I'm still a prisoner of war."

"I thought you were granted asylum and was offered to become a Ninja of the leaf," Kiba asked as he tossed his shirt aside. He smirked as he watched her eyes rake his body.

"Using big words can hurt your head dog boy," Kin said with a smirk. "And I haven't accepted yet. I don't know what I want to do yet."

"Well," Kiba said with a smirk. "I would think that a strong Kunochi like you would leap at a chance to prove your worth. I mean, I know that you guys are not as strong as us…"
"What did you just say?" Kin said as her eyes narrowed and stared at the now smirking Kiba.

"I'm just saying," Kiba said as he slowly turned away from the fuming Kin. Kiba smirked as he tossed his trade mark grin over his shoulder causing her to shake in anger. "Prove me wrong….if you can."

"ANBU-san," Kin said lowly as she tied her hair back a bit. Her eyes never leaving Kiba's back. "I accept Ibiki-sama's offer. Please inform him I will be practicing here for the remainder of the day."

"Take him out!" Growled the women ANBU who looked down at Kin. Kin smirked as the ANBU vanished in a swirl of leaves.

Hello,

I'm Soooooo Sorry for the extremely short and mostly filler chapter. I just wanted to get some of this stuff out of the way before we continue on with this arc. I'm going to say that i might be skipping ahead to the Sasuke retrieval arc, but that is still in the air. I want to say please don't get discouraged from this chapter and know that i'm going to be updating this story soon with my usual chapter length. As always, Read, Review, and of course Enjoy.

Thanks again guys,

Take-It-Easy
