A/N Hello fellow FF members and visitors alike, this is 9tailsfox2 with Chapter 15! Sorry for the long ass wait, as I said before I'm not abandoning this fic! I shall explain everything after this chapter, but for now, enjoy! Italics means thoughts and emphasis.

Naruto woke up with a smile on his face as he saw Hanabi, who was also smiling, snuggling herself into his arms unconsciously as she was sleeping, with her face right next to his. Naruto then closed his eyes as he enjoyed the warmth of Hanabi's body as he remembered last night. Geez, I hope nobody heard that, the way Nabi-Chan screamed in pleasure, she could have waked the dead up.

Naruto silently laughed at that, so as to not wake Hanabi up, and judging by the look on her face, she was dreaming something very pleasurable. Hanabi then moaned in her sleep and whispered his name. "Ohh Naruto, you know that I'm the boss."

Naruto smirked at that as he remembered how quickly Hanabi took over last night. I think Nabi-Chan is the dominant one in this relationship, well at least in bed, and yet, I don't really mind, in fact, I find it sexier that way… why am I thinking like this about an 8 year old again?

Just then Hanabi stirred and stared at Naruto with a seductive smirk and dragged her finger down his chest. "Ruto-Kun, you were amazing last night, I even continued dreaming about it, let's do it again sometime."

Naruto smirked as he held Hanabi tightly. Because she wants me to think like that about her well at least in bed, and also because I love her and she loves me. "Yes we should, but not right now, we have a mission to do."

Hanabi hugged Naruto as well. "You're right Ruto-Kun, but when we get back, we are going to have a nice long talk."

Naruto chuckled, "By talk, you mean what we did last night?"

Hanabi giggled as she saddled on Naruto's chest, "You know me Ruto-Kun, and next time, I'll start on top and stay on top."

Naruto kissed Hanabi. "You certainly make persuasive argument Nabi-Chan. As much as I like this, I don't want them to catch us like this."

Hanabi smirked at this. "Why Ruto-Kun? Are you embarrassed of them knowing?"

Naruto shook his head and laughed. "No, the way you screamed last night, I'm surprised Jiraiya was respectful enough that he didn't spy on us."

Hanabi looked confused as she got off of Naruto and began getting dressed. "What do you mean?"

Naruto groaned, slightly in disappointment because Hanabi got off, "Well, he spies on women baths and calls it 'research'"

Hanabi shook her head. "I already gathered that much, but would he really spy on others actually having sex?"

Naruto began dressing up as well. "Wouldn't surprise me."

Hanabi shook her head, "I used my after we were done, and there was no one."

Naruto was relieved. "Well that's good."

Hanabi was about to exit the tent, but turned around. "Remember Ruto-Kun, after this mission, I'll let you 'research' my body."

Naruto smiled at this. "Alright Nabi-Chan, let's get out of this tent."

Hanabi smiled as she opened the tent slightly and quietly as she looked around, to see that no one was there. When she confirmed that, she quickly proceeded to her own tent and opened it, went in then closed it. Naruto nodded as he fully opened his own tent and walked outside, as Kakashi and Jiraiya opened their tents. "Good morning Kakashi-Sensei and Ero-Sennin."

Kakashi just waved as Jiraiya gave the thumbs up, and Sasuke opened his own tent, followed by Hanabi, who pretended to just have woken up. Hanabi smiled and yawned. "Morning everybody."

Sasuke then looked around. "Ok, was it just me, or did anybody hear any screaming last night. It sounded like it came from that direction." Sasuke pointed past Naruto's tent, to which Naruto was relieved that Sasuke was wrong and Hanabi instantly turned red.

As soon as Sasuke said that, Jiraiya and Kakashi face palmed and groaned in exasperation. Kakashi turned to Jiraiya and whispered to him. "I'll talk to him." Jiraiya just nodded as Kakashi called for Sasuke and began giving him 'The talk.'

Sasuke, who was thoroughly scarred for life after having Kakashi talk to him about sex, then took a few seconds to put the pieces together. "Wait a second… YOU MEAN DOBE AND HANABI-CHAN HAD SEX!?"

Naruto and Hanabi went red instantly. "HEY TEME! COULD YOU SAY THAT A LITTLE LOUDER!? I DON'T THINK THE DEAD HEARD THAT! AND KAKASHI-SENSEI! HOW COULD TELL HIM!?"

Hanabi grabbed Naruto a closer to her and kissed him. "There we go! Are you all happy now!? Ruto-Kun and I had sex, and we're going to do it again! If any of you have any objections to that, by all means speak up! I haven't used my tenketsu style in a while!" Jiraiya began laughing. "What's so funny pervert!?"

Jiraiya then looked at Naruto. "Hey, Naruto, you sure landed a feisty one, better put her on a leash, if you know what I mean."

Hanabi then punched Jiraiya in the back of the head. "If anyone is going to be on a leash in bed, it's going to be Ruto-Kun."

Jiraiya smirked at this. "Feisty and dominant, you got the package deal, and she hasn't even grown yet!"

This time Naruto punched Jiraiya in the back of his head. Then they both gave him an uppercut, which sent him flying into the woods. "You know what Nabi-Chan?"

Hanabi looked at Naruto. "What?"

Naruto gave Hanabi a smile, "I would not really mind having other people knowing had sex."

Hanabi also gave Naruto a smile, "Really? That's great."

Sasuke, who was awestruck at the current situation, manage to speak up now. "Uhhhhh, what?"

Hanabi smirked at a thought she just had. "Well, maybe you can join us if you want."

Sasuke was stunned at the offer. "Wh-What?"

Naruto got in this as well. "Well, were going to do it after the mission, want to join?"

Sasuke's face was red at this. "Uhhhh… are you sure… uh th-then I guess I-I could ummmm do it. A-Are you r-really sure a-about this?"

Naruto and Hanabi looked at each other then looked at Sasuke and shouted at the same time. "NO!" The look on Sasuke's face was priceless as the two began laughing.

Hanabi was on the ground laughing. "Hahahahahaaaaahhhahhhahhhahhahhhaaaaa! You should see the look on your face Sasuke-Kun."

Naruto, who was also laughing was wiping tears from his face. "'Hey Dobe, want to have sex with us? I can't actually believe you thought we were serious!"

Sasuke, who was thoroughly embarrasses was just stuttering and mumbling his words and pretty much could not be understood. This is when Kakashi stepped the conversation. "Alright Naruto, Hanabi. Stop teasing Sasuke, we need to pack up and start moving, if we hurry, we can reach Tazuna by nightfall, on the way we can explain you training regimen for the week."

Team 7 looked at each other and then nodded in confirmation. "Hai!"

As they traveled, Kakashi began explain what would happen. "After discussing it with Jiraiya, we decided it was best for Sasuke to train with me, as I have a Sharingan and my fighting style would best suit him. For Naruto and Hanabi, we have decided to add on to your requested training, for Naruto, you shall learn summoning as well, for Hanabi we were thinking of teaching you elemental training. For Naruto, you shall learn further learn chakra control, after we have completed all your water walking of course, which is the first step to all of your training, do you find all of this agreeable?"

Team 7 simply nodded. Hanabi scratched her head. "Wait, who am I going to train under?"

Kakashi sighed. "You will learn medical ninjutsu under the assistant of the woman were trying to find, Summoning from me, and elemental from Jiraiya or me, depending on your element."

Hanabi nodded, but did not quite understand the last part. What did he mean depending on what element I am? Ugh, forget it; I'll probably understand when we get to that point.

Naruto then brought up a concern. "Hey ummm where are we going to learn how to water walk, when I looked at the map as we were packing up, there were no body of rivers close by."

Jiraiya chuckled. "We shall use the Hot Springs for our training location."

Hanabi deadpanned at that "Pervert."

Kakashi sighed. "Don't worry Hanabi; we shall use the public no-nude bath, right Jiraiya?"

Jiraiya sighed as he made his way back onto the road. "Fine, but that won't stop me from doing research on other women." As he said that, he put on his patented pervy smile.

Hanabi hit him in the back of the head again. "No you won't."

Jiraiya got into her face, fed up with the punches. "You're only 8 years old; you can't tell me what to do."

Hanabi smirked. "Yeah, an 8 year who got laid more than you?"

Jiraiya cringed at that statement. "Ouch, that hurt you know?"

Hanabi laughed at that. "And yet it's true."

Jiraiya sighed and hung his head in shame. "H-How did you discover my worst secret?"

Sasuke shook his head. "The way you treat woman, they turn away from you before you make your move, or rather after in your case…"

Jiraiya sighed even longer this time. "Can we talk about something else?"

Kakashi, who was laughing at the irony of the situation managed to calm down enough to speak. "As much as I like laughing at Jiraiya's expense, we should talk about where we are going to start looking tomorrow, sun's almost down and I can see the town in the distance, if we hurry, we can make it."

Everyone stopped talking and looked ahead to see that what Kakashi said was true, Tazuna Town was indeed ahead. Naruto had a grin on his face. "Alright people, full speed ahead!"

Hanabi smirked. "Ruto-Kun you that excited to sleep in the same bed as me?"

Naruto groaned, "But Nabi-Chan, we agreed to hold it off till after the mission."

Hanabi giggled. "We'll see when we get there."

Jiraiya had his stupid perverted grin, to which Sasuke responded by hitting him in the back of his, followed by Kakashi. Kakashi sighed. I have a feeling that by the end of this mission, he would have a bruise the size of his head.

The group proceeded to the town, it was about 10 by the time they arrived and only had enough to rent 3 rooms for a week, and still have enough money to buy food for the week, Naruto and Hanabi of course got one room, Sasuke for some reason wanted his own, which was agreeable with Jiraiya and Kakashi, who wanted to discuss the mission and what was going to happen tomorrow, Sasuke did his own thing, meanwhile Hanabi and Naruto were getting ready for bed, of course after showering.

Hanabi smirked at Naruto as she kissed him. "We have nothing to do right now, so let's do something."

Naruto gulped at that. "Well, Nabi-Chan, we can hold it off can't we? We said next time would be a week. Besides I don't break my promises. Plus, I think it's just your hormones acting up right now, if you have any at this age…"

Hanabi pouted and made the cutest and saddest puppy dog eyes she could muster. "Cwan we pwease dwo wit?"

Naruto grunted at that and it almost worked, but he had a promise to keep. "I'm sorry, Nabi-Chan, but I am willing to snuggle."

Hanabi knew she lost, and only because in Naruto's mind, he already made a promise, and he never breaks promises, no matter how much torture he must go through to keep it. I could try to convince him that he didn't make a promise, but it's worth too much effort and I'm tired. Plus I don't want to force him, for now I'm content to snuggle with Ruto-Kun, I love him. "Fine, we'll wait after this mission, but we're going to do it the next chance we get when we get back."

Naruto chuckled as he held Hanabi closer. "Why do you want to do it so bad all of a sudden?"

Hanabi smiled. "Because, when we had sex last night, it felt so good, so amazing, I never wanted it to end, I want to feel that again."

Naruto conceded to that point, it did feel amazing. "Alright Nabi-Chan, you are right, it did feel good, but I already made my promise, and I don't feel like its right to do it in the middle of a mission."

Hanabi sighed at that. He's right, it would not feel right to do it right now, but then it would feel so good, ugh, why am I like this!?

Naruto held Hanabi tighter. "What's wrong Nabi-Chan?"

Hanabi sighed again. "It's just that you are right, and yet, I still want to do it. I just don't know why I'm like this, I'm only 8 and yet, I already had sex and still want to do it. Is there something wrong with me?"

Naruto sighed as he held Hanabi. "I don't know the first thing about psychology, but from what I know of your life, it seems like you have developed some sort of over attachment to me and I think you have recently entered puberty. Also, I think people handle grief differently. So your hormones and plus that would probably make for extreme lust."

Hanabi's face turned red and saddened as she remembered the death of her father. "W-Well, I did have my period recently so, you think I'm pregnant?"

Naruto sighed. "I don't know, but I doubt it, from what I remember from health class," Naruto shuddered as he remembered 'The video', "If you had your period, then for a week, you will be unable to reproduce."

Hanabi sighed in relief. "Thank Kami, do you know how awkward that would have been. I got my period the night I got my Byakugan, which was about 6 days ago."

Naruto sighed in relief then had a thought. "Wait, why didn't you tell me?"

Hanabi was red at that. "Because I was embarrassed about it, plus we weren't dating then."

Naruto sighed. "True, I'll give you that."

Hanabi nodded as she dug herself into Naruto's arms and put her face right next to his and kissed him, and left her face near his. "Alright, Ruto-Kun, goodnight, I love you."

Naruto smiled at this, as he was happy that he was regularly getting 'good night' and 'I love you' everyday, something that was not happening a week ago. "Night Nabi-Chan, I love you too." They kissed and fell asleep holding each other, happy that they did have each other and began slipping into sweet dreams about each other.

The next day, our favorite couple woke up at the same time and looked at each other, and kissed. Hanabi smirked. "You know, after that talk last night, I think I now understand why I feel this way, and because of that, it is a lot easier to fight these urges. But that does not mean we will not indulge in them, you have to keep your promise Ruto-Kun."

Naruto felt his spine shiver as she ran finger on his chest and he smirked at that. "You got that right." Naruto kissed Hanabi and then there was a knock on the door.

The two groaned as Naruto shouted out. "Who is it!?"

"It's Sasuke, Kakashi-Sensei and Jiraiya sent for me to get you two. Are both of your pants on?"

Hanabi sighed. "Yes you can come in; we didn't do it last night."

Sasuke smirked as he opened the door and poked his head around the door. "I'm surprised. Anyways, as I said, Kakashi and Jiraiya sent me for you; this is about our mission and training."

Naruto and Hanabi looked at each other and nodded. Team 7 then went next door and knocked on it. "Kakashi-Sensei, Jiraiya, its Sasuke, I have with me Dobe and Hanabi-Chan, let us in."

There were footsteps as Kakashi answered the door. "You may come in."

The three children entered the room and sat down in a circle, along with Kakashi and Jiraiya. Jiraiya cleared his throat. "Ok, how many of you can make a Kage Bunshin? This would include you Kakashi."

Sasuke was the only who did not raise his hand at this, to which Kakashi and Jiraiya nodded. "Alright, here is what is going to happen; everyone is going to make a clone tomorrow. The clones will go out and search for Tsunade, while the real bodies will train. As for you Sasuke, as you are unable to form a clone, that is the first thing Kakashi will teach you tomorrow as for today, we shall find out where you all are in water walking and get you all to be able to hold yourself in all out battles, as it turns out, there is an unmapped stream nearby. (Yay plot convenience!) Everyone understand?"

Team Kakashi nodded in affirmation. "Hai!"

Jiraiya made the hand seal and created a single clone, along with Kakashi, Naruto, and Hanabi, while Sasuke sighed as he was once again, behind in skills. I thought I would be caught up to Naruto and Hanabi by now, but I can't even make a single shadow clone right now.

Kakashi saw the look on Sasuke's face and understood. "Hey, don't feel bad, it's only by circumstance that you don't know how to produce a shadow clone. You just have not trained as hard as these two. Trust me, the only other people I know who train harder than them is Maito Gai and his protégé, Rock Lee. So it would be understandable that they are far ahead than anybody else in your age group. Besides, you so much stronger than the rest of this your year's graduating class, I am positive you can catch up."

Sasuke sighed, though he still felt bad that he was behind his team, he no longer felt doubt, and was replaced by determination to catch up to them and pass them. "Thanks Kakashi-Sensei, I shall surpass my team and become the best ninja in the world."

Kakashi sighed as he almost face palmed himself. Great, I fed his ambition; I really hope this does not bite me in the ass later.

With that, the clones went off to investigate while the originals stayed behind to train, which went exactly as planned. By the end of the day, Team 7 was able to keep up in an intense spar for 2 hours without break on the water. If either of them had any difficulties in water walking, they were surely gone now. The clones did not have better day either.

Clone Jiraiya groaned as he led the group and explained where Tsunade could possibly be. "You see, Tsunade is what you would call a gambler, and a terrible one at that. In fact, she is so bad; she has been nicknamed the legendary loser. Additionally, she is also known to partake in heavy alcohol drinking."

Clone Hanabi sighed. "Well, so what your saying is, she could either be in a bar, or a casino, well should not be too hard, as long as you have a picture."

Jiraiya nodded at that. "Correct on the first account, incorrect on the second, you see the reason why it is so difficult to track her is because she changes her appearance, or rather her age appearance all the time, the only reason we know she is in this town is that she was last spotted here two days ago. As for the reason why the Third wants her, is so he could have her as a replacement, in the event of his death."

Hanabi sighed, "So not only is she a gambling and alcohol addict, she has self-image issues great Hokage she will be."

Kakashi sighed. "I have met her a few times, and her strength is immense, and she is without a doubt the greatest medical ninjutsu specialist out there, with her assistant, Shizune, a close second."

Hanabi was confused. "Why can't I train under the greatest then?"

Jiraiya answered this. "Because she is a Slug Sage, and the person she takes up will become her apprentice and replacement, and we had Kakashi take a look at your chakra, he has confirmed that you Chakra is most identifiable with the Dog Clan, which Kakashi is also aligned to, as for me, I am most aligned to the frog, which I also had Kakashi check with his Sharingan, he confirmed it as most aligned with Frog Chakra."

Kakashi sighed again. "It was probably the most difficult thing to do, not only did I have to memorize the chakra of all the people I met who had a contract to a clan, I Had to compare Naruto's to everybody else's, his was most similar to Jiraiya, and luckily for you Hanabi, I immediately recognized you as most aligned to dog."

Hanabi deadpanned. "So are calling me a bitch?"

Kakashi put his hands up defensively. "I-I n-never s-said that."

Naruto decided to step before Hanabi got violent. "No Nabi-Chan, he's just saying you belong to the dog clan. Besides, personality wise, it matches you much better than the other clans. You are loyal to your friends, stubborn, definitely got more bite than bark, strong and smart, all of which are qualities of a person in the dog clan. Let's not forget to mention you are so beautiful."

Hanabi giggled and kissed Naruto and hugged him. "Thanks Ruto-Kun."

While this went on, Jiraiya and Kakashi were confused on how Naruto knew about the summoning clans. "Ummm, Naruto, how did you know that?"

Naruto smirked at this. "Well Kakashi-Sensei, let's just say I took up some reading in the summoning arts."

Kakashi sighed at this and decided to let it go for now. Throughout the entire day, they searched the entire town, and even produced more clones, and came up with nothing. As the sun came down, they nodded to each other as they saw the location and Naruto and Hanabi approached the last bar, but was stopped by Jiraiya and Kakashi. "What do you want Ero-Sennin, Kakashi-Sensei?"

Kakashi smirked. "Well, I want you to release your all your clones now, including yourself as we are going to eat here now, all you need to know is that training time is up."

Naruto and Hanabi nodded in confusion. Hanabi spoke up "So release them now?"

Kakashi and Jiraiya simply smiled as they released theirs. The two children looked at each other, unsure of what to do, the released their clones.

While Team 7 just finished their spar, Naruto and Hanabi suddenly got their memories, while Kakashi and Jiraiya put their fingers up, singling them not to talk about the effects, they both nodded in agreement, all went unnoticed by Sasuke, who was face down in the water, but then got up.

Jiraiya put his hand up as a clone appeared next to him and whispered in his ear. He nodded as Jiraiya called for everyone to gather. "Alright, it seems out clones checked everywhere except for one establishment. We shall dine there and look for our target."

Team 7 nodded in confirmation and headed towards the bar and grill that the clones disappeared from.

When they got there, there was barely anybody around, they looked around and there she was, a woman with blonde hair and rather huge assets. Jiraiya smirked as he made his way through the tables and sat down across from Tsunade, while Team 7 joined him. Tsunade looked up. "Whaddya want ya old frog pervert."

Jiraiya smirked at her. "Well after all these years and you're still the same, and yet you seem worse off, anyways, the reason why I came here was so I could take you back to Konoha."

Tsunade groaned. Can we please not discuss now? I'm so drunk I won't be able to remember anything, how about we meet up here tomorrow night, we shall discuss them then?"

Jiraiya sighed. "Fine we shall leave you to your drinking for now, but we shall let Shizune know of your appointment."

Shizune then ran in. "There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you! Come on, let's get you home."

Shizune, unaware of Jiraiya, then picked up the already passed out and drunk Tsunade was then surprised when Jiraiya put his hand on her shoulder and yelped. "Hey Shizune, Tsunade told us she will meet us here tomorrow night, think you can manage to get her here, sober enough?"

Shizune nodded. "Oh hi Jiraiya, Kakashi, who are the kids?"

Kakashi sighed. "This is Naruto, Hanabi, and Sasuke. They are my students."

Sasuke only grunted, while Naruto and Hanabi held hands and waved at Shizune, who smiled. "You two make a cute couple."

Hanabi blushed while Naruto smirked. "You have no idea what Ruto-Kun can do."

Shizune blushed at that. "I'll just leave now, don't worry, I shall make sure she is here tomorrow night. Well good night, it was nice seeing all of you."

Everyone waved goodbye. "Night!"

After that, everyone put in their orders and talked about their training and search while they ate, then returned back to the hotel where, they went to bed, Sasuke all alone, Jiraiya, this time taking the floor, and Naruto and Hanabi of course sharing the bed. The two cuddled against each other, smiling and happy with each other's presence and body warmth. "Night, Ruto-Kun. I love you."

Naruto smiled as he rubbed Hanabi's back. "Goodnight Nabi-Chan, I love you as well." They kissed, and left their heads right next to each other as they fell asleep into blissful dreams once again.

A/N Ok the reason this took awhile was because when I came back from my cruise, I worked on Chapter 3 for Saving Her, then took like week's break, then finally got back to Escape. Alright on to my review. Alright good chapter AT MOST, nothing much happened in this chapter, ending was kinda rushed, but I was careful not to rush it too quickly, and so I gave you guys a long one this time round. The point of this chapter and the next is so to get Tsunade to get home, so expect mediocre chapters in this arc, not much creation to deal with, maybe except for the training and maybe the few fluffy, awkward and funny situations like the ones I put in this chapter. But I shall promise a lemon after the arc, unless you all don't want the lemon to happen? Anyways, like always, R&R and this 9tailsfox2 signing off!
