Chapter Eighteen
"So, how do you like my new look?" Kin questions Naruto.
It was a boring Sunday afternoon, and since practically everyone was busy, it was just the two of them. Kin had enough money to get some new threads to wear. Taking a page from the west, she wanted to dress in a style all her own. Needless to say, Naruto was floored, and so were several other guys in the shop who were taking peeks, despite the few who had girlfriends. Kin's long hair was cut down to a shorter length, but she left a good enough length to restyle it into a high ponytail, with some locks of hair clashing in fangs along her sides. It somewhat reminded the boy of Anko's hair. She wore a lavender scarf around her neck, which the color had a grayish tint in the color. The scarf's length reached to her lower back. She wore a fishnet tank that hugged her upper chest. Let's just say the sleeves are nonexistent. To cover her modesty, she had a blue-grey full strip of silk wrapped around her upper torso, but leaving a bit of cleavage exposed. From down to her hipline, was all flawless skin. Around the waist were her shinobi belt and her new blue-grey pants which had oval-shaped cuts in the sides exposing her hips to the world, and a bit of that string that belong to the thong she had been wearing. In fact, the utility belt, which now sports the headband that shows the Leaf symbol, is the only thing that kept the otherwise questionable pants from falling. From the biceps down to the wrists is fishnet stocking that ended into fingerless bracers, with dark silver armored gauntlets, slim modeled, protecting her forearms and the backs of the hand. Strapped to her back was the new dagger sword she purchased, and on her right hip was her Chain Whip. She still wore the same ninja sandals, but now they offered more comfort and protection.
Naruto's response was to walk up to her, and kiss her. She actually purred in content. However, the kiss was short-lived, as Naruto smirked. "You'll grab many a male eye... including mine."
"Yeah, well... I'm all yours, Naruto-kun." She giggled seeing a bit of blood trickle down his nose. A few other guys who've been eavesdropping gained larger nosebleeds; some passed out with pleasurable/perverted expressions.
"Can we get going?"
"Yup, as soon as I make these purchases, we'll go."
And after she had paid for them, she returned to the dressing room, just to wear them again, before leaving, leaving Naruto to carry her bags. Kin ignored some of the looks she got from some guys her age, and older, more so the perverted older men, while Naruto followed after Kin, his glare intimidating to a few pervs in the crowds they pushed through. Upon arriving at the apartment, Naruto headed to Kin's bedroom to leave her bags, until he heard the door behind him close shut... and lock.
Turning around, Kin strolled up to him, and pushed him onto the bed. Naruto smiled a bit before reaching up to claim her lips. Naturally, she kissed back.
"Even if you seem to have other girls around, Naruto-kun... I love you."
Naruto smiled warmly.

Naruto had just refilled his supply at Tankou's shop the next day, and also bought ten Explosive Tags. He grabbed his pack containing his Nin-ombs, and sold the old pack to Tankou for only 30 ryo. He filled the new double pack with them on the side, and the other side had his storage of Explosive Tags.
The door opened, and in came Tenten. "Hey, Naruto-kun! Just the guy I was looking for!"
"Eh? Hey, uh, Ten-chan... you need something from me?"
She smiled rather sweetly, and grabbed him by the arm. "Yeah... let's go have lunch together, hm?"
He blinked, before he was dragged out of the shop, his supplies left behind. Tankou just chuckled, and put the stuff under the register for safe keeping, and returned to his work in the back shop. Naruto followed Tenten, who wanted to go to lunch with someone. Her team mates were busy, so he was chosen, in a way. Of course, Naruto said nothing when she kept herself anchored to his right arm.
"Hey, Tenten... after lunch, let's see if anyone would like to head to the lake."
"The lake?"
"Yeah, there's this girl who lives and runs a Fishing Shack. I met her through her brother. Remember the Valhalla Mission?"
Tenten nodded, having been told by Hinata what had happened. She and the others girls had been worried when Kakashi, Kurenai, and the others returned without Naruto, Hinata, and Midna. Naruto remembered when Tenten had beaten him for making her so worried, before claiming his lips in front of the other girls, and by proxy their other teammates.
"Her name is Hena. She has one brother, Kikoru, who sold me the lantern I still keep sealed. Then, she has another sister, an older sister. Her name is Liz. She works a small shop at the border of River Country."
"Oh, you mean that one area where the only way to get into River Country was by boat?"
"Yup, and from time to time she also does canoe rentals for more peaceful trips up or down the river. Hena told me about her two siblings on that day I visited her to deliver Kikoru's letter."
She gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "Tell me."
//FLASHBACK: One Week//
The lake was located a half mile from Konohagakure. It was large, and there were a few mangroves on some small islands out in the lake. If seen from a bird's view, the lake shape would resemble something like... some sort of fang or dull claw (South America's shape on the Atlas map). The west was blanketed by the trees, which proved it was near a ninja village. On the other side, east, were fields of grass and wild flowers. Near the southern beach was a wooden dock, next to a large willow tree. To the north was some small mountainous land. Near the dock was an average-built house, where Naruto following a short trail, stopped near the tree.
"This is an impressive lake," Kakashi said.
Naruto hops off Epona, and helps Hinata down.
"Ah, yes, such a youthful relaxing lake to see," said Gai with his ever cheerful smile.
Naruto walked up to the two story house, and up to the front door. The sign was still flipped to OPEN, so they gently allowed themselves inside. The first floor was designed much like a shop would be, but it was designed for items associated with fishing, boating, and even swimming... the usual outdoor stuff. There was a large fish tank that was created to resemble a beautiful coral floor of an ocean, and there were various different types of fish swimming in the water. In fact, there were two of these tanks, one labeled for freshwater fish, and the other for saltwater fish. And coming down the stairs from behind the big enough counter was a young girl. She appeared to be only sixteen years old. She had short blonde hair, and wore a beige fishing hat. She wore a red and black plaid button-up shirt, and a pair of brown cargo pants. For footwear were just comfortable sandals.
"Oh, hello. Sorry but I was just about to close up."
"Oh, no worries. My name's Naruto. This is Hinata." He squeezed the girl who he held his arms around, and she smiled.
"Hello."
"I'm Hena. I own this business. It's a good business. People from around Hi no Kuni come here for swimming, boating, or even fishing."
"So you're Hena, right? I got a letter form your brother, Kikoru."
"Wait, you know my brother?" she questioned, opening the counter door and stepping out from behind. Naruto took the letter out he had in his pocket.
"Yeah, you see Hinata and I had a bit of trouble during one of our missions. We're ninjas, by the way... on our way back after crossing the border between Cha and Hi, our senseis came back with reinforcements. They're outside."
She looked out the window, and saw several of the Konoha ninjas waiting outside, admiring the lake. She could briefly hear the Jounin with the bowl-cut hair shout something about the flames of youth.
"We traveled down this path when we just happened to cross this tree house your brother made his living in. He even sold me a lantern for the forest outside his home. It did come in handy."
Hena smiled, giggling a bit. "That's Kikoru, alright." Naruto handed her the letter, and she accepted it, "Thanks, Naruto-kun, Hinata-chan. Listen, maybe next time you come back to the lake, bring some of your friends."
"Sounds like fun. Good night Hena."
She waved as the two left the store. She stayed by the door, watching as the boy, Naruto, clad in a green tunic, boarded his horse with the girl, and they traveled to the forests, which she suspect going back to his home village. The other ninjas followed after them. She walked back to the counter, and pulled out an album book. It was in fine condition, but the last page she turned to show a photo of what was depicted as her ancestor, standing next to a guy who wore similar garments as Naruto did, holding up a very large fish. The photo of course had aged with time, and was extremely brittle. It was preserved perfectly and very carefully under a laminate, but even the laminate itself showed its age.
"Hm, maybe we met in a past life...?" She then smiled to herself, closing the book and setting it back under the counter near the register. She always was one who took things such as the supernatural as... well, odd. But at times there are things in this world today that can otherwise be explained as a ninja thing.
"I wonder if my past self fell in love with that guy..." she sighed, a bit of a blush forming.
//END FLASBACK//
After lunch, he and Tenten went to gather their friends. They managed to round up Shikamaru, Chouji, Ino, Kin, Temari, and Hinata. Sakura was busy and Shino had clan business to deal with. Neji was still training, as was Lee. They headed to the Hokage Tower, where after Naruto went past the secretary ignoring her, he opened the door as usual, and gave his usual greeting that resulted in him blocking a thrown object using the shield.
"What do you want, Naruto. I'm busy here," she said.
"Busy drinking, sleeping, or a combination of the two if Shizune-chan wasn't here..."
Shizune giggled a bit, ignoring the glare from Tsunade.
"Anyway... can we leave the village? I want to take the group I assembled to visit Hena at the Fishing Shack."
Tsunade grunted, as two ninjas came in, and dropped some paperwork for her, and left. She then sighed, and waved her hand. "Fine, go, but you better be back before the gates lock. And must you always go everywhere dressed like that?"
"Hey, it comes with being the hero... I need to stay prepared... I don't want to end up in a defenseless situation again..." The smile slipped from his face, and Tsunade bit back a curse. Of course, his experience with the loss of Hitomi, and the event that happened afterward made Naruto a bit more edgy and protective of himself, but also for those he cared for the most.
But the smile returned, though just slightly as he left the office, with the others following.
=0=0=
The lake had few visitors today and some kids at the eastern strip of sand with their parents or other family members. Epona walked over to the tree and stayed under the shade while Naruto walked into the door, followed by his friends after some guests left. Hena looked up, and smiled brightly.
"Naruto! Glad to see you here. Oh, brought friends?"
"Yup. We're here to spend some time here at the lake for the rest of the day."
Hena smiled brightly. "That's great. Need anything, don't hesitate to ask now."
And they all spread across the shop, as Naruto walked up to Hena. "Say, Hena... you wouldn't happen to have like some sort of beginner's kit for fishing, do you?"
"Oh, sure thing, Naruto-kun." She steps out from behind the counter, and beckoned Naruto over.
As Hena showed Naruto the various different fishing poles, Chouji was taking a look at the snacks aisle. Temari was looking at some of the swimwear they had for the ladies, more interested at this two piece swimsuit she found. Ino and Kin were also looking at some of the swim wear that was sold here. Shikamaru just hung by the door, and yawned briefly. Hinata hung with Naruto.
"Understand?"
"Yup."
Naruto bought the right kit and tackle box. Other purchase has been brought up, and Hena packed them all way for the group, as Naruto paid for it all, despite his friends saying that they could pay for their own things. Naruto didn't listen and paid for everything. Hena smiled as she also allowed Naruto the use of her canoe to go out to the lake for fishing if he wished. A Kage Bunshin is all was needed to help Hena carry it from the outdoor storage shed to the dock. Naruto decided to go out to the lake, using the oar to paddle the boat from the dock. The girls who had bought swim wear fit for their figures used the changing rooms inside the shop, while Shikamaru rested against the tree, just admiring the lake, and looking towards the sky to watch the clouds roll by. Chouji ate his snacks he bought, of course sharing them with Shikamaru.
Out in the lake, Midna formed from his shadow, and snagged a bag of cheese-flavored potato crisps which Naruto bought as well. "Well... this is peaceful," she says, relaxing back into a conformable position, in Naruto's lap. Naruto stole the first chip she pulled out, and ate it with a smirk. She pouted playfully, until Naruto took the next one, and fed her the small crisp.
"I remember the time I spent with Link at the Fishing Hole... it was after our little trip through the Sacred Grove the first time to find the Master Sword. You know, that girl looks almost like the one from centuries ago."
"Really?"
"Yeah," Midna replied, "in fact, she could pass off as a twin."
"Hm," was Naruto's response, as he takes of his hat and stuffs it folded one into his shirt, and pulled out the fishing pole, and attached one of the hooks. Afterward, he casts his line, and waits.
"If I still had the fox... something like this would be boring, and I would probably be still a loud mouthed trouble maker."
"Not that you still cause trouble," Midna said with a soft laugh, remembering the super glue incident between Biggs, Wedge, and toilet seats.
"Yeah, but I wouldn't have you either..."
Midna smiled warmly at that. She leaned up, and captured his lips for a minute. Naruto sat the rod handle in one of the oar rings as he daringly sucked on the tip of her tongue she pushed into his mouth. That rewarded him with a soft moan coming from the chibified princess. From the bank, Hinata pulled down some binoculars she had brought with her, and giggled softly.
That was hot... wait, what did I just say?
"Aha! Got one!" The kiss was broken when Naruto notice his rod jiggling, due to his hook being bitten. Midna was blushing, feeling very happy inside.
Inside the shack, Hena was reading the papers until she spied something.
"Huh... how could they not notice they added an extra s in bananas?" She was looking at coupons in the local Shinra Market ads, where they had a coupon savings of sixty six cents for one pound of "bananass".
In Konoha, one of the jail cells had one Touji Mizuki imprisoned. Ever since he had tried to kill Naruto, Iruka, and by proxy, Hinata, he had been left forgotten. This is where he was destined to rot forever, locked away from humanity. He had lost everything in life, his job, the money, the hidden drugs he's kept hidden at the Academy, and his lover, who had come up to him before he got locked away for life, and was slapped across the face.
And it was that brat's fault. The demon fox boy Naruto...
"Need help?"
Mizuki looked around, obviously now thinking he's gone insane.
"I can help you... all you need to do is drink this potion... and everything shall be fine... you can even get your revenge on the child who locked you away in the first place."
From the darkness of his jail cell, came a crystal vial filled with a yellowish liquid that, well, looked more like urine swirled with chunky milk (pretty much disgusting).
"This shall grant you the power to become stronger than the fox... drink it, and you can escape... and take revenge against the demon boy."
Mizuki, obviously insane enough to listen, would do anything for a second chance. This was it. He dove for it and popped the glass cork and drank the contents, gagging a few seconds.
"Fuck... this taste horrible..." Then a pulse of energy rips through his body, shredding the seal that prohibited him from molding his chakra. The seals that were placed around his wrists burned away, and he screamed alerting ANBU. As they rushed to the gate, said jail door explodes from the hinges and Mizuki emerged. Under his clothes that shoed the grime he's endured in the cell, near the end of his tailbone was a glowing red seal. A Cursed Seal, to be exact.
"Kill the demon boy," he muttered, and roared as the Curse Seal pulsed.
The ANBU were knocked out by the man's speed, before he made to escape. In the darkness, he watched with a smile, before his eyes vanished. Mizuki cackled, as the dirty, yet seemingly buff man, had managed to break out from solitary confinement and into the cafeteria. As ninjas break in to stop Mizuki, multiple clashes of lightning erupt and strike them all down, as Kumo emerged from a portal of twilight. Mizuki saw his chance, especially since the strange armored man told him to jump in. He took no chances. He vanished in a swirl of twilight, just as Ibiki and Anko rush in with reinforcements.

Naruto laid back as comfortably as he could in the canoe. Midna lies down in his lap as well, having zapped her headgear into her interdimensional pocket. They had caught some fish, a few Naruto had let go into the lake, but only keeping the bigger catch of mainly catfish and carp. The carp would be good for a long cook in the smoker he had bought recently, and the catfish could get their meat clean and cleanly cut to make breaded and fried nuggets.
"This is so peaceful," Midna yawned, "the village can be like a bustling town..."
Naruto chuckled a bit, holding the chibi close. "True... I'm glad that we had crossed paths with Kikoru. May have never met Hena or known about this lake."
"You do know that they have ancestors, right?"
"Yeah... Coro, Hena, and Iza... from the past, right?"
She nods. The peace is disrupted briefly when a shockwave died near the boat. Both looked to the shore where Hinata was holding her sword she still kept. Apparently, she learned to use his shockwave kenjutsu. They returned to relaxing.
Their descendants today are Kikoru, Hena oddly enough, and Liz... Naruto smiled softly, while Midna closed her eyes, to enjoy the peace and quiet. She smiled, as Naruto kept a hold on the girl. The day was ending, and Naruto had to row back to the docks, and helped Hena store the canoe away, while Midna watched from Hinata's shadow. With the fish he caught, and had stringed, Hena even helped Naruto filet and cut the catfish and prepare the carp. Once everything was bagged up, and the remains left for any wildlife to snack on, Hena bid goodbye to Naruto and his friends, mostly Naruto.
"That was a fun day."
Shikamaru had to agree. "Yes, it was fun. Much more relaxing."
The trek back to the village wasn't long, and they made it before curfew. Of course, as Naruto and the girls who lived at his apartment head home, they heard a Jounin whispering about a break out from the Konoha Ninja Prison. That got Naruto worried all of a sudden, and feeling a sense of dread.
=0=0=
And once again, Naruto returned back to the lake. It was a regular routine to him now, to wear the green tunic, and stay armed with the Master Sword and the Konoha Shield. Of course, the reason he gone to the lake was because Teuchi decided to try the concept of delivery. And, since Naruto was going have lunch there, he decided to make his a delivery, and paid for his half of the meal. As he arrived, Midna disappeared back into his shadow, and he got off Epona, who gave him an affectionate nudge with her nose. Naruto smiled as he walked towards the house, and had a clone open the door for him.
"Hena?"
"Naruto-kun!"
Naruto smiled as he walked up to her, and handed her the delivery. "I was at Ichiraku Ramen when I heard about an order going to be delivered to the Fishing Shack, so I thought I'd come and deliver this to you, and enjoy my own lunch here as well."
This explains the second paper bag.
Hena smiled. "Sure, come on upstairs."
Naruto blushed a bit but went around the counter and followed the girl up the stairs, and into her apartment.
=0=0=
Back in Konoha, Kin sat down at Ichiraku Ramen, and ordered a small Vegetable Ramen. She was surprised that Naruto wasn't here. Sure, he eats healthier now, but ramen was still the best thing for him.
"Ayame, where's Naruto?"
Ayame smiled a bit, as she handed her a large glass of iced water. "Naruto volunteered to do a delivery for us to a customer who works at a Fishing Shack near the lake."
"Ah, I see..."
He went to go see Hena?
=0=0=
Hena's place was something of a typical civilian household. The TV was on and was on Food Network, and Naruto sat down at one of her couches, having taken off his hat and laid his sword and shield near the door, along with taking off his boots. Both of them were enjoying their lunch.
"So, it's peaceful here, isn't it?"
"Yup. The village is more or less like a typical village. Though, I wonder about Sunnyvale City though..."
"Oh, Sunnyvale? I have heard about that city. They're famous for the Shrine they have on top of Mount Hakurei."
"Yeah. I had a previous sensei named Sanosuke who briefly trained me to use a kenjutsu technique of his."
Hena smiled, as she slurped some noodles quietly. Some quiet came, until she looked at Naruto again. "Did anyone tell you that you look so handsome wearing that? You look like a hero."
"Not much, but a few girls who bunk at my apartment tell me otherwise. Hell, before my life had changed for the better, I was a loudmouthed brat always seeking attention. Though I do prank sometimes... it wasn't as much as I did when I was younger."
"Oh, really?" she questioned, looking at Naruto and trying to keep that blush from forming.
"Yup."
She smiled, and he smiled back, before returning to finishing off the broth and swallows the noodles that were left. When he had finished, and cleaned the bit of juice that escaped with a napkin, he turned to face Hena. Only, she was now scooting closer.
"Naruto-kun..."
Naruto begins to blush now, as Hena brought a hand to get a feel of his blonde locks, and was surprised to feel the silkiness of his hair.
"Hold on, Naruto-kun, I need to show you something." She got up and headed down the stairs again, and Naruto sat there, the blush still evident on his cheeks. She soon returned, this time with a photo book. She sets it down in her lap and opens it, and towards the back, she reveals a photo. Midna, through Naruto, saw the photo, and could not believe it. There was Link, standing there holding the large Rare Hylian Loach that he caught one summer day after their trek in the Temple of Time, and next to Link was a very happy Hena. She remembered that Iza was the one who took the photo, as Hena wanted to be in it with Naruto.
"This guy looks just like you Naruto..."
"Wow... I... he's my ancestor," Naruto confirmed, very surprised.
So, this is Link... wow, he thought.
"Yup, and that means this girl is my ancestor. We look like twins, huh?"
She giggled, and Naruto chuckled. "Yeah, you do."
"When you came the first time, I was surprised... this is strange, eh?"
"Kind of," he said.
She closed the book, and sets it to the side on the floor, before turning towards Naruto, with a blush on her face returning.
"Makes me wonder if our ancestors fell in love," she thought aloud.
Midna knew the answer to that. They DID fall in love, and they were still dating when the world was saved and she had to return to the Twilight Realm. But when she managed to return, seeing Link and Ilia gave her the idea that somewhere along the line, they had parted ways.
"Maybe," he says.
After lunch was finished, Hena did pay for the bill, and Naruto packed the payment away.
"Hey, Naruto, are you busy with anything?"
"No, what is it?"
She took out a letter. "Can you deliver this to Kikoru, please?"
"Sure thing, Hena-chan."
She smiled, and gave him a kiss on the cheek, making Naruto blush. He puts the letter away and puts his boots back on, before heading down the stairs with the sword and shield equipped onto his back. Hena watched as Naruto boarded Epona, and waving to her, he snaps the reigns and Epona rides away in the direction of where Kikoru would live.
"I hope he comes back," she thought aloud, before breaking into a blush.
Kakashi sighed. There was a mission that came up, but the only person he could find was Sakura. Naruto was out of the village, and from what he learned from Ayame when by chance they bumped into one another at the bookstore, went to do a delivery for them to a customer at the lake. Now, the mission was to protect an actress in which the movie was going to have its scenes shot in Yuki no Kuni.
But, in order to go, first, Naruto needs to be found, and then they will need a third Genin to join. And so, playing safe, he gathered Kin, and then grabbed Kiba since he wasn't doing anything, and Kurenai allowed the temporary transfer. With the mission scroll in hand, they left to head to the lake to grab Naruto, their charges following the shinobi.
=0=0=
"What do you mean Naruto's not here?"
"I asked him if he could deliver a letter for me, and he said that he would do that for me, so I handed it to him, and he galloped off towards my brother's house."
Kakashi groaned. "Well, thank you anyway, miss. Well kids, Naruto's off doing a delivery without permission, so we'll just have to go without him. Let's go."
Sakura looked at Hena, who was counting up the money in the safe, keeping track of investments. Kiba chuckled and left, as Akamaru barked to Kiba, in which the dog boy could only understand his own ninken. She wondered just what the heck Naruto was up to, as she followed her sensie out of the house.
A new look design for Kin-chan. Like it? Hate it? It's hard to imagine, but trust me, she is hot. I based this look off an image I found on Gamespot before... I don't know: should I involve Hena in the harem or no?

Forgot to add Hinata's latest technique... Now, for the folks who may have noticed, yes Hinata can use the Kage Bunshin, but she does not have the capacity that Naruto has (even with the fox gone and in the hands of Lansing), and as such, could only make one or even two per use. Overuse will cause exhaustion to come early. And yes, Hinata's Hidden Skills are all based on Zelda's techniques from Brawl.

For the other Hidden Skills from TP, Naruto will learn them, but they will not be "Hidden" as such. As you know, Ichi Ni Ko Rendan has the Shield Attack (or rather Naruto using the flat side of the sword) and then the Helm Splitter (or variation to it) used in conjunction. In fact, some of them may be used as "regular" kenjutsu techniques.
