We open to the sight of Harry sleeping before a ring on his hand begins vibrating. Groaning a little, he blinks before getting out of bed. Stretching a little, he looks back at Hana sleeping in the bed before smiling as he puts on some clothes. Chuckling a little he then leaves the room. 'Looks like Syaoran is a little hungry.' Walking into the room next to his, he smiles as he looks down at his son, who looks up at him as his cries subside. 'Son… now there's something that I never expected. To have a son of my own.' Reaching down, he gently raises Syaoran before walking towards the main dining area. Walking in, he heads to the refrigerator before pulling out a bottle full of milk and using a heating charm to warm it up before testing it. Nodding to himself, he lowers it ands watches as the baby in his arms begins to feed. "That's it little one, drink up so that you'll become big and strong." It's this sight that a sleepy Bella walks into. She just stands there watching Harry pace back and forth as little Syaoran drinks his milk as he hums little snitches of songs. After a bit, he smiles. "You know… it's rude to stare Bella." She nearly jumps out of her skin at that before blushing as she rubs the back of her neck in embarrassment.
"Sorry about that Harry… I was just…" Her blush deepens as Harry looks at her with a raised eyebrow before she looks down at the floor. "… You just looked so… content, I guess, as you were walking across the floor with Syaoran in your arms." Harry just nods as he looks down at the baby in his arms with a soft, loving look.
"I am… content that is. I have what I've wanted for so long finally… a family. And to me that's the greatest thing that's ever happened to me." He then looks up at her with a curious look. "So, what brings you here at this time of night Bella?" She just sighs and looks away giving him all the answer he needs. "Another nightmare?" She just nods and sighs before Harry conjures two large armchairs and sits in one before motioning to the other as he creates a Kage Bushin and sends it in to get some drinks. Once she's seated, he nods towards her. "Do you want to talk about it Bella? Despite being a guy, I am a good listener you know." Bella chuckles a little at this.
"I guess that's true." Her smile becomes a little saddened as she sighs before looking up at the ceiling. "I… I don't know what I was seeing. I think that they were memories from my… past? Future? Whatever it is." She shudders a little as Harry watches on. "They… they were horrible…" Her eyes open as she looks at Harry with horror shining in her eyes. "I wish that I could stop them." Harry just sighs before looking down at Syaoran who's finished his milk. Smiling, he burps him before turning back to Bella.
"We all wish that we could change things about our past Bella, but you're trying to make your future better then what it was." He just looks up before smiling. "What your seeing is impressions from your subconscious. Nothing more then that. So don't worry, the old you is still safely locked away." Bella just looks down as she sighs.
"I wish that I could believe that Harry, I really do. But…" She sighs again and shakes her head. "I'm just so worried about when that seal finally breaks and my memories will be restored… will I be the new me? The old me? Or a mix? I hope that I'm the new me, but what if I'm not? Then I might try and hurt you and the others…" Harry just nods before getting up out of his chair and making his way over to Bella's and sitting down beside her. He then looks at her with a understanding look in his eyes before smiling gently at her causing a slight blush to break out on her face.
"And that is why that won't happen Bella. You care for us too much to let it happen." He then shakes his head as he chuckles. "You have worked so hard to change yourself Bella. I know for a fact that Inoichi is impressed as all hell with how far you've come in repairing your Psyche. By the time that the seal does break, I have no doubt in my mind that your mind will be strong enough to destroy your old self easily." Bella just looks away and scratches her neck.
"But… the old me has more life experience. You forget, she's in her thirties and I will be seventeen when it finally breaks. How the hell can I possibly match that?" Harry just smiles and asks if she's managed to call up her chakra causing her blink before slowly nodding. "Well yeah… And I have as much as a low level chunin apparently. Something about the coils of my old body merging with the new ones to make them thicker. Why?" Harry just chuckles a little.
"And have you started on tree walking?" She shakes her head and tells him that she's going to start soon. "Well, get started as fast as you can Bella. Because once you can make twenty bushin without getting tired, I'll teach you Kage Bushin." Bella just looks at him in shock as her eyes nearly pop out of her skull and her jaw drops. Harry laughs a little at this before reaching up and closing her mouth with an audible snap. "The reason? Because Bella, if you can make even ten Bushin a day and run them for twelve hours, in a week that'll equal ten weeks of life experience. A month will equal the equivalent of ten months, a year would be ten years… see where I'm going here?" She just nods, still in a state of shock. "So you'll be able to reach the same and then higher level of life experience. So don't worry. Just live in the moment for now." She just nods before saying thank you. She then spends a few moments looking at the baby in his arms before Harry smiles as he offers him. "Do you want to hold him Bella?" She just looks at him in shock before gulping a little and biting her lip.
"Can… can I? Really?" Harry just nods before handing her Syaoran. It takes Bella a few moments, but she manages to hold him the right way. Once she does though, her face just lights up in amazement as she looks down at the small body in her arms. "He's… so small. I never knew that babies were so small." She then cocks her head to the side as a gentle look comes over her face as Syaoran snuggles into her arms. Harry just asks if the time in the hospital was her first time holding a baby to which she nods. "Yeah, it was actually." Shaking her head, she looks at him. "In the Black family we never celebrated a baby being born. Never. A baby was simply a way to continue the line and we didn't acknowledge it until we were sure that it wasn't a squib." Harry just sighs sadly and tells her that he has trouble believing that to which she shakes her head. "Unfortunately that's true I'm afraid. However much I wish that it wasn't. But…" She then looks at Harry with a happy smile. "Thank you for letting me hold him." Harry just nods and smiles not noticing her face hardening with determination as she looks at the baby in her arms. 'I… I won't let the old me hurt you… no matter what I'll protect you…'
00000000000000000 Next Morning with Naruto 0000000000000000
Yawning a little, Naruto opens his eyes and glances beside him to see Momo laying on his chest with a small smile on her face. Shifting around a little, the sheets slide off her slightly to reveal that she's in a pink nightdress. Mentally chuckling, Naruto reaches over and gently strokes the side of her face causing her to sigh. After a little bit her eyes begin to open before she smiles at Naruto and leans up and gives him a good morning kiss. Pulling away, she gives him a grin. "Good morning Naruto-kun. Have a good night?" Naruto just chuckles before giving her another kiss that leaves her breathless.
"Of course. I had you next to me after all Momo-chan. How else would I have slept?" Momo just blushes at that causing Naruto to chuckle before pulling her closer to him and nuzzling her hair making her blush deepen. "You smell really good this morning Momo-chan." Momo just giggles as she shakes her head with a heavy blush.
"Why do you always tease me Naruto-kun?" Naruto just smirks and tells her that it's fun to do causing her smile as she moves up his body. "Hmm… that's quite interesting to know…" Still smiling, she kisses him and soon it becomes a full blown make out session as Naruto slides his hands up her thigh and under her nightdress causing her to moan as he strokes her bottom. Smirking against the kiss, Naruto flips her so that he's on top while his other hand begins to gently squeeze her right breast causing her to gasp as her back arches off the bed. "Na… Naruto-kun!" Pulling away from the kiss, Naruto chuckles.
"You liked that Momo-chan?" She just nods between gasps and moans. "Well then, you'll like what I'm going to do next then…" She looks at him through clouded eyes and whimpers as his hands pull away only to shudder as she feels then grip the knot keeping the nightdress closed before untying it and opening it revealing her green (and slightly soaked) silk panties and matching bra to Naruto's hungry gaze. Sliding the gown off her shoulders, he reaches around and unhooks the bra with one hand while the other pulls her panties down to the point that they slide down her legs until she kicks them off. Reaching up with her hand, she strokes along one of his whiskers making him purr as his eyes become hooded causing Momo to giggle at the sight. Naruto then leans down and licks her earlobe causing her to shudder at the feel of his tongue running along her ear. She doesn't let him be the only one as she reaches down and slides off his underwear allowing his erection to spring free. Still smiling as Naruto massages her breasts, Momo begins to slowly stroke him causing him to groan as she adds a twisting motion. "Kuso…" She then smiles as she kisses him.
'Still got it after all these years…' She then grins as she slowly makes her way down Naruto's body, planting kisses as she does so before she reaches his cock and taking it in her mouth. Soon after Naruto's reduced to moaning and clinching his fists before finally cumming. She pulls away to see him looking at her with a hungry look before he places his hands under her arms and hauls her back up and pins her under him as he nips at her jaw bone before kissing down her neck. Reaching her pulse point the he lightly suckles it causing her to bite her lip before he continues down and nibbles her collar bone causing her to squeal. "Naruto-kun!" He just chuckles before taking a nipple in his mouth and swirling his tongue along it. Listening to the gasp as it hardens in his mouth, Naruto just smirks around her breast before switching to the other one. After a little bit of this he makes his way down to her hot core before chuckling.
'Well then… guess that pink is both Sakura-chan's and Momo-chan's natural color.' He then swirls his tongue around her opening making Momo whimper and beg for him to just finish her off. Pulling away slightly, he gives her a grin. "Sorry Momo-chan, guess that I should take your feelings into consideration." Her eyes widen before he dives in with his lips attaching around her hole as he hungrily slurps, his tongue reaching out and touching every place that it could while his nose bumps into her clit. After a little bit Momo is all but screaming as she feels a coil slowly tightening in her abdomin when Naruto's mental smirk widens. 'And now for the finisher…' He then channels some chakra and magic into his tongue as his nose bumps her clit causing the coil of pleasure to snap as Momo screams soundlessly as her back arches before falling back onto the bed with sightless eyes, sweat streaming down her form and her chest heaving. Crawling up beside her, Naruto gives her a kiss on the forehead before moving some of her sweaty bangs from her face as she slowly recovers. A little later, she looks at him is slight disbelief.
"How the hell did you get so good at this Naruto-kun?" He just chuckles and his answer causes Kyubi to blush from where she's listening as well as causing several women/Kunoichi to sneeze.
"How else? A LOT of practice." Momo just smiles as she pulls him close and nuzzles the side of his neck.
"And I hope that we get a lot more practice in Naruto-kun…" She then gives off a pervertive giggle. "Quite a bit more practice I'm thinking…" Naruto nods before giving her ass a little smack causing her to squeal as her face becomes bright red. "NARUTO-KUN!" He just laughs before moving to the side of the bed.
"As much as I want to stay here in bed with you Momo-chan all day, we do have things we both need to do after all." She just nods and sighs as she shakes her head sadly as the two gather up their clothes for the day as they head for the bathroom. A little later the two are heading down the hall towards the main dining room. Entering, Naruto stops and before Momo can say anything he points to a sleeping Harry and Bellatrix in a chair with Bella holding Syaoran while her head leans against Harry's shoulder. Momo just blinks before a starry eyed look comes over her face.
'Aww KAWAII!' Pulling a camera out if somewhere, she takes several pictures before putting it away. Tapping her chin, she leans towards Naruto's ear. "Think that we should wake them up now Naruto-kun?" Hearing a chuckle, she jumps a little.
"That won't be necessary Momo-nee-chan. I'm already awake." The two turn to see a fully awake Harry looking at them with a smirk before shaking his head gently so as to not wake Bella up. "I've been up for a bit already. I got to say though that you two are loud." Naruto just softly snorts before nodding his head towards Bella.
"Let me guess… another nightmare eh?" Harry just sighs and shakes his head while being careful not to wake the sleeping girl up.
"Unfortunately. I wish that they wouldn't bother her so much, but it seems that her past just will not rest peacefully. But… it won't." He then looks at the girl who's head is laying on his shoulder as a peaceful expression is on her head before looking back at the two. "She hasn't really been sleeping well so if you guys could keep it down so that she can get some extra sleep I would really appreciate it. I know that she would too." Naruto just nods with a smile before motioning Momo towards the kitchen.
"Not a problem nii-san. Will do. I'll cook some breakfast, so what do you want?" Harry tells him and with a nod, he disappears with Momo following him into the kitchen. Pulling out a carton of eggs, Naruto looks over his shoulder at Momo who's setting up the stove and coffee pot. "By the way Momo-chan, how's your work at the library going? I heard that you've been sorting out the jutsu scrolls from Suna as well as copying the ones we're sending to them." She just nods with a smile as she takes the carton from him and sets it down before taking out a pan and setting it down.
"It's actually doing pretty good. Most of the scrolls are exercises including several Chakra control ones like Sand Walking." Seeing the interested look on his face, she smiles. "It's similar to Water walking except you have to stay on top of loose sand with out your feet sinking. They even gave us some chakra string info!" She becomes starry-eyed causing Naruto to chuckle.
"My, oh my, oh my. You know Momo-chan for a non-ninja you sure get excited over technique scrolls… Then again you do own several book stores in the village so I guess I can see where you're coming from." Momo just blushes lightly as she cracks some eggs as Naruto begins cooking up some bacon beside her.
"Well… it's not as much as new techniques as new knowledge actually. Remember my dream Naruto-kun? It's to make Konoha's library the foremost center for knowledge in the Five Great Elemental Countries. In order to see my dream come to pass I have to get as much as I can and add them to what we already have." A slightly wistful look comes over her face as she sadly chuckles. "I know that I may never see it come to pass in my lifetime, but I'll do as much as I can so that those that come after me can bring it to life." Naruto just nods before giving her a smile as he flips some bacon.
"As I said before Momo-chan, that's a great dream. I really hope that you'll come to see it pass and I hope to be there by your side when it does." He then chuckles as he takes out the ready bacon and puts some more into the pan. "To be frank about it, it's probably better then my dream actually. A Hokage is only for his reign. What you want to accomplish is something that generations after us will be able to enjoy. And they'll be in awe of what you did." Momo's face just lights up in a heavy blush as she hears that.
'Did… did he just say that my dream is a better one then his…?' Shaking her head, she gives him a shy smile. "Do you… do you really mean that Naruto-kun? About my dream I mean…" Naruto just smiles and chuckles before nodding as a Kage Bushin of his begins cooking some sausages nearby, the smells making those nearby mouths water. Momo's blush actually intensifies as she shyly looks away. "Than-thank you Naruto-kun." She then turns back to him with a bright smile that just about lights up the room. "Thank you for believing in my dream. Most of those that hear about it just shake their heads. Even Sakura-chan finds amusement in it. But you… you actually believe in it. Thank you." Naruto just chuckles as he reaches out and grabs the two of the plates with food on them as Momo grabs one for herself. Looking back at her, he smiles and shakes his head.
"Dreams are important. Without them, life would have no meaning. Besides… I know how it feels to have people laugh at your dreams. A lot of people think that me becoming Hokage is just that, a dream that will never come to pass." Momo just nods as they head through the doors to see Bella rubbing the sand from her eyes as Naruto chuckles. "Hello sleepy head. Have a good sleep?" She just blushes as she looks to the side and sees a smirking Harry.
"Um… Yeah… I did." Harry just chuckles again and she blushes even more. She's about to say something when Cissy walks in. "Good morning Cissy." Cissy just waves and says good morning back as she walks past where Harry and Bella are as she pulls out a mug and fills it with coffee. She then sighs as she takes a sip, only to stop and spit it out before her head whips back around towards them with a surprised look on it.
"Wha… what the bloody hell?! What the hell are you guys doing in the same chair like that!?" They all look at her with sweatdrops before Bella sighs and shakes her head.
"I… had problems sleeping last night and I came down here to find Harry feeding Syaoran and… we had a talk and we must have fell asleep." Hearing a snicker, they all turn to see Hana leaning against the doorframe with a knowing smirk on her face as she shakes her head.
"And you didn't enjoy it girl?" Bella just goes bright red and starts sputtering before Hana holds up her hand and shakes her head with a chuckle. "I think the lady doth protest too much." Her smirk widens as Bella's sputters become even more loud. Walking in, she sways her hips from side to side as she makes her way over before giving Harry a kiss and then taking Syaoran (who's now awake). Straighten, she gives Bella a knowing grin and chuckles. "You don't have to worry Bella, I'm not angry with you for what happened. Not in the slightest." She then looks down at Syaoran with a smile before looking back up at Bella and kissing her on the forehead. Pulling back, she gives Bella a look full of understanding. "Sometimes… we're all in need of comfort, right?" Bella just nods shyly as her voice cracks.
"Yeah… I guess we all do huh?" Hana just smiles and nods as she makes her way to a nearby seat and sits down before hiking up her shirt so that she can breastfeed Syaoran. Bella just looks on as an image of her doing the same to HER child comes to mind causing her to smile as she turns to see a beaming Harry. 'Yeah Hana… sometimes we're all in need of comfort… And I know just where to turn to…' A little later the table is clean and Harry and Naruto turn to Jeraiya (who arrived during breakfast) and motion him to follow them. Raising an eyebrow in confusion, he does so. Soon after he walks into a small room with a metal table with a scroll on it. He then glances around at the other objects in the room including what looks like a large magnifying glass and a small tool box.
'Huh? Wonder what those are for?' Shaking his head, he turns to see proud looks on Harry and Naruto's faces causing him to cross his arms as he gives then a questioning look. "Okay you two… what did you drag me all this way for? If it's to check out this lab of your's, you needn't have bothered. I've seen both bigger and better." Naruto just chuckles as he gestures towards the scroll.
"Actually, we wanted you to check out a project both me and nii-san have been working on." Shrugging his shoulders, Jeraiya walks towards the scroll and examines it. Finally he looks at the two and shakes his head.
"So you two created a exploding scroll eh? I still don't see the need for me to be here." Harry just grins as he shakes his own head and chuckles.
"You're still not seeing it I see." Walking over to the magnifying glass on it's stand, he brings it over and unrolls the scroll under it as he brings it down to better see. "There! Now check it out through this." Blinking, Jeraiya does so despite his confusion.
'I wonder what I'm supposed to be seeing here… Wait a second…' His eyes wide with surprise he looks at the two grinning Chunin. "The explosive seals, they're made up of smaller explosive seals linked up to create a larger one aren't they?" Naruto just nods as he taps the scroll.
"Yup!" Leaning back against the table, he grins. "It has to do with the fact that we figured out that an explosive seal can have the same strength even if it's smaller then normal. So… we wondered what would happen if we wrote them extremely small but connected them in such a way that they created a larger seal. Hopefully it'll increase the power of the explosion." Thinking it over, Jeraiya nods in thought.
"Actually it should do just that." He then looks at the two with a smirk. "During the ninja wars it wasn't uncommon for both sides to booby-trap villages by writing explosive seals on a building and then activating them when the enemy took the position." He then looks down at the scroll with a massive grin. "Anyways… I'm thinking that we should go and test this out… just to see if it works of course." Harry and Naruto just grin as well before nodding. And with that they rush out of the room. After a couple of minutes, they arrive at the ANBU testing grounds. Looking around, Harry blinks at the devastation in the area.
"Whoa! I've heard of the ANBU testing grounds, but I've never actually seen them!" He then shakes his head in amazement. "I got to admit, the place is DEFINITLY well used." Jeraiya just snorts from where he is.
"Of course they are gaki. This area has been used as a testing ground since the days of the Shodaime." Walking forwards, he lays the scroll in the middle of the grounds before backing away though he leaves a bushin behind to activate it. He then looks towards the two teens with a raised eyebrow. "By the way… how big is this explosion going to be again?" Harry and Naruto look at each other before shrugging. Naruto is the one who answers him though.
"No idea Ero-Sennin." He then starts rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. "We know that the ANBU class exploding tag… which actually looks like ours since it too is a scroll, is equal to about five-hundred kilograms of TNT or half a ton and we made ours to give off a bigger bang so… Probably pretty big." Jeraiya just shrugs before they all stand near the fence of the testing grounds. He then gives his Kage Bushin a thumbs up.
"Do it! Let's see what this puppy can do!" The Kage Bushin nods before activating it. A few seconds later it begins to glow as it fizzes…
0000000000000000 Hokage Tower 0000000000000
Looking down at her paper work, Tsunade sighs in contentment at completing it. "Finally! I never thought that I was going to get this done!" Looking around for Shizune, Tsunade grins as she opens a hidden drawer in the desk as she chuckles. "Well… I got all my work done for the day so I say this calls for a bit of a treat. Come to Kaa-san!" She pulls out a bottle of Sake and pours it into a dish and is about to drink it when…
"KA-BOOOOM!" The whole tower shudders as if from an earthquake causing Tsunade to fall out of her chair from surprise. Groaning a little, she grabs the edge of her desk and pulls herself up as Shizune rushes in.
"Tsunade-sama! A massive explosion just occurred in the ANBU testing grounds!" Tsunade just blinks and asks how she knows that causing her to sweatdrop as she points out the window at a mushroom cloud rising over the training grounds. Now it's Tsunade's turn to sweatdrop.
"Ah… I knew that! I was only testing you to see if you knew! That's all!" Shizune just gives her a deadpan look.
'LIAR!' Hearing a gasp, she looks at a devastated Tsunade who's practically crying. She's about to ask what's wrong when Tsunade falls to her knees as she screams to the heavens.
"NOOOOOOOO! WHY KAMI-SAMA!? WHY!? HAVEN'T I SUFFERED ENOUGH!? HAVEN'T I!?" Blinking, Shizune looks down and sighs at the sight of the spilled Sake bottle over all the completed paper work, ruining it. Suddenly, Tsunade gets up with a maddened/insane look on her face. "When I find out who did this… their head's are gonna roll! And the streets will flow red with their life blood! Kukukukukukuku!" Shizune just sighs.
'Why do I have the feeling that Harry-kun, Naruto-kun, and Jeraiya-sama had something to do with this…?'
0000000000000 Back at the now destroyed ANBU testing grounds 000000000000000
Looking down, we can spy three blackened bodies laying at the edge of a large crater before all three cough out a cloud of smoke. One rises revealing that it's Harry (his hair puffed out in all directions with small flames here and there). Coughing again, he grins. "That was fucking sweet!" Naruto just nods from where he's laying on the ground groaning.
"Definitely… It was a success I guess… hey! That rythmed!" At that moment they hear a sigh and turn their heads to see Hermione rubbing the bridge of her nose before she looks up at the sky.
"I am not going to ask what happened here because I get the distinct feeling that doing so will give me a headache from the plain stupidity that obviously occurred here." She then shakes her head. "What is it with boys and making things explode? Then again… I guess that it's not as bad as I'm thinking since your not participating in the other Juvenile behaviour of spying on girls…" Walking over, she grabs Harry and swings him over her shoulders like a sack of potatoes as Shizune (who just appeared) does the same thing with Naruto. "We should get out of here Shizune before she comes." Shizune nods and the two Kunoichi take off. A few moments later they hear Jeraiya greeting Tsunade… which then turns into screams of pain for the unfortunate Gama sennin. Shivering a little, Hermione looks towards Shizune. "Thank Merlin that we arrived when we did… And I call not healing Jeraiya-sama!" Shizune just scowls as she looks away.
"Kuso…" Shaking her head, she turns to look at Naruto with an amused look. "Any particular reason that you destroyed the ANBU testing grounds Naruto-kun? Or was it just for kicks?" Naruto just sighs as he rubs the back of his neck sheepishly.
"Nah. Ero-Sennin wanted to test out a new exploding tag me and nii-san created. Needless to say that it worked Shizune-chan." Looking over at Hermione, he gives her an interested look. "By the way you two, you got any time to today to hang out? We haven't really talked since we got back." Looking at each other, they nod before running towards a nearby eating place (after a few cleaning charms of course). Sitting down, Naruto looks over at Shizune with a smile. "So, Shizune-chan, how's Konoha treating you?" She just smiles as she takes a sip of tea.
"It's actually treating me quite well Naruto-kun. It's a nice change from moving from place to place all of the time." Taking another sip, she leans back with a thoughtful look on her face. "Though I must admit that a part of me somewhat misses all the adventures me, Hermione-chan and Tsunade-sama had on the road. But, it's nice that I don't have to worry about being woken up in the middle of the night to take off because debt collectors." Beside her, Hermione nods.
"Yeah, I hated that part of the whole 'On the road business'. I've actually lost track of how many times I woke up to the sight of a half-naked sleepy Tsunade shouting about debt collectors." Shaking her head and chuckling at the horrified and sick queasy looks on the two boys, she continues. "But, like Shizune, I'm finding the change of scenery quite to my liking. Of course, it helps that I can finally put all my research notes I made on the road together." Harry looks interested at that.
"Oh? I heard that you were putting notes together in your office in the Hospital, but not what they were about." Leaning back into his chair while taking a bite of Dango, Harry gives her a lop-sided smile. "So care to share any juicy details?" Hermione just chuckles some.
"It's not that much actually." Shrugging, she smiles. "Mainly it's stuff that I found out whenever we stopped and I could get my hands on info. Like herbal remedies." Taking a drink of her tea, she sighs. "The rest? It was stuff I found out since Tsunade-sensei left autopsies to me and Shizune-sempai. At first I would just take down the notes but later they had me do them myself for experience. According to Tsunade-sensei I'm one of the best at stuff like that due to my eye for detail." Harry just nods at that.
"Huh! Sounds pretty interesting actually. Would you mind if I had a look when your done?" Blinking, Hermione just nods at his question while Shizune looks at him in surprise.
"I never figured you for being interested in medicine Harry." Harry just chuckles as he rubs the back of his neck in embarrassment.
"Actually Shizune-nee-chan, I actually have to know some stuff about medicine due to my poison knowledge. As you likely know in order to be a poison master you have to know what you're working with. How a person's weight determines the dosage needed. Whether you want them to die quickly or slowly, painfully or without even realizing they've been poisoned. Or how a particular cocktail mixture will affect the body. Or if you want to incapacitate them or just kill them. A knowledge of medicine is a absolute must when dealing with poisons. As are a knowledge of antidotes." Beside him, Naruto nods wholeheartedly.
"Yeah, I got to have some medical knowledge since our taijutsu style focuses on hitting pressure points and the body's weak points. Our Naifujutsu also needs a basic knowledge about anatomy to be properly used as well." He then chuckles at Shizune's widened eyes. "Don't be so surprised by that Shizune-chan." He then gives her a small smirk as he leans forwards. "Besides, me and Hinata-chan have been working at combining what wizards know about potions with what shinobi know. So far all we came up with is a combination of her original healing cream and burn cream. Works quite well as a matter of fact since it heals any burns while healing other injuries as well." The two medic-nin just stare at him before sighing and shaking their heads.
'Same old Uzumaki-Potters…' They continue like this for a while, just enjoying each other's company as they eat before Shizune notices the time and sighs. Naruto just blinks and asks what's wrong causing her to shake her head.
"I just have to get back to the tower unfortunately… I'll likely be doing paperwork on into the day. Both that for the Hokage and for the hospital." She sighs again only to glare at Naruto as he chuckles at her. "And what may I ask is so funny Naruto?"
