Authors Notes: as always thank for everyone who's reviewing I'm in a happy mood thinking when Sakura hugged Naruto at chapter 450 cutest Naru/Saku moment yet, it shocked me to see Hinata smiling at that like it didn't matter to her sometimes it makes me wonder if she really loves Naruto. But anyway back to the story I am just one chapter away for Naruto's big return to Konoha, I believe I have said that Naruto was returning to Konoha by ch 11. For those who didn't know I'm sorry for bursting your bubble but it's pretty obvious when you read the title. Now as for those people who asked when Sakura will appear again, sadly I won't say when she will be shown again just keep reading the story. One more thing as usual there will be some sexual content in this chapter, but what the hell the story is rated M so I won't bother myself this time now on with the chapter.

(Location: main road spring country territory)

One of the things Naruto has love during his training with Jiraiya has been traveling, and even when he becomes Kitsune Flash he still loves traveling. Traveling has become like the second thing he loves the most next to ramen, he love to see new places meeting new people and making new friends. However things have gotten complicated for him during his travels, during the couple of weeks of traveling he has been having problems enjoying the traveling and it was no surprise why he felt so bother. He couldn't get Jiraiya's words from out of his head, what he told him back at mist was still ringing in his head every single time. Whenever someone thinks of you, that is where home is, those words still invaded his head day and night he barely got any sleep because of those damn words. Now it has become hard to travel when he had those words in his head, he was only thinking about Konoha, his friends the village where he was hated where his existence was acknowledged.

There was no doubt about it he misses Konoha he misses his friends, but his foolish pride of being a mercenary and being loyal to Konoha by doing his missions. His stupid pride wasn't the only thing holding him back but his past, although he hated himself for feeling like this. He has never let his past get to him, yet he was still feeling the pain from his lonely cruel childhood why now? Of all times why was he feeling like this in the first place? The third reason he considered it the most effective reason for him not to return. It was the image of his formal pink haired teammate she was possibly the one person who has hurt him more than anyone, she has disrespected him and mistreated him like he was nothing but garbage while she was clinging to someone who never like her in the first place. Yet it hurt him when she was crying especially when he was the one who hurt her feelings, although he considered it to be hypocrisy from Sakura's part. If he cried for every time she has hurt his feelings he would've drowned in an ocean of his own tears, so he could care less if she was crying or suffering because he knew it was part of her little twisted game to come back to the village.

He made his choice a long time ago he wants to move on with his life and forget the past, he didn't wanted to be a part of Sakura's life because simply she didn't needed him as her friend but a pawn to bring back her Uchiha. If she has become a promising ninja like he has heard then she would be strong enough to find Sasuke on her own and not rely on him, there was no need to ask for his help when in the end she will hurt his feeling like always and go with the Uchiha. He rubbed his forehead while wearing his mask, why is it that every time he thinks of Sakura he always ends up with a big headache? Even when she was not present she somehow manages to give him pain, like his friend Shikamaru says women are so troublesome. He finally ended the painful train of thought that is thinking of Haruno Sakura, he took off his mission list scroll checking his next mission which was here in spring country.

Mission number: 70

Location: Spring country

Client: Princess Kazahana Koyuki

Mission type: bodyguard

Mission rank: B

And once again he was going to visit another good friend of his that he has met during his past missions, although he met her when he was still a genin and when he was part of team seven. Koyuki was the princess and ruler of spring country who was formally known as snow country, but the weather change when they defeated her evil uncle Doto who wanted to use a powerful generator to change snow country into spring country although he thought it was a powerful weapon of mass destruction. Koyuki is also a world famous movie actress using the pen name of Fujikaze Yukie she has made famous movies like the Princess Fuu trilogy which was considered one of the blonds' favorite movies and Itcha Itcha paradise the movie. He has taught Kojuki to overcome her past of the death of her father at the hands of her uncle and moving on with her life, in other words she was just another person he has change for the better with his great gift.

However there was one small problem here, unlike his other travels he wasn't looking forward to come this land for one apparent reason which scare him and it put him in a very uncomfortable position.

'I'm going to see Koyuki-hime after five years please Kami make a miracle, don't let her rape me.'

The mask mercenary sighed ever since the whole thing with Mai and Shion, he has become uncomfortable every time he talked with women. He wasn't doing the flirting and compliment more often now, he was now more afraid of women than the missing nins and bandits he usually fights. He was just afraid that every woman he sees will want to bang him like he was the hottest man alive, not that it bother him to have a lot of attention from women but not to the point that they will become sex starve savages. He sweat dropped thinking that if it was his teacher Jiriaya he will be like a happy kind that just woke up on a Christmas morning joyfully opening the presents, in this case taking the clothes from the women and sleeping with them. Now he thought that his teacher was a strong person, to have so much attention from women all the time it was really a hard job. He has also decided to protect himself from the sex hungry single women he has come to terms to always wear his fox mask, as long as he covers his face he'll be safe well at least his virginity will be safe.

However there was only one woman he actually wasn't afraid, knowing that she wasn't that kind of woman when she was already committed to another man which it was a good thing for him. It was a certain red head who he has become very close friends with him, he smile thinking of Kushina. The red head was simply a mystery somehow she always comes to him whenever he needs help or advice, he was always glad for her help and he really like spending time with her more than with any other woman. He felt like he could trust her completely so he didn't minded to tell her more about himself, and she didn't have a problem to get to know him better. The red head was always happy to hear things about him, every time he told her about himself she was always paying close attention to every word he said. He could say that their communication was very good and they understood each other perfectly, at least he wasn't completely scared of women because he was good friends with one who was very cool to hang with.

Adjusting his backpack he continues walking the road heading to his destination, he could see the city where Koyuki's kingdom is located. He had really missed this place since the last time he was here, the carnival they held after celebrating the victory against Doto was very fun and the food was delicious. He smiled thinking that he was still keeping the autograph Koyuki gave him, he was unconscious on a hospital bed and she gave him a kiss on his cheek it made him blush at the thought. Of course he hasn't forgotten that the one who took that autograph to her was Sasuke, he didn't even wanted to think about the traitor so he erased the thought and continued his journey. He finally arrived at the city of spring country's kingdom, he already had reaction from the people passing by they have gasped while smiling at him. This was another village that recognize him as the person who saved the princess spring country from Doto, so he was already famous before leaving Konoha to start his training and become Kitsune Flash.

As he walked the streets of the city some of the single women population from all ages were staring at him, he couldn't believe that they were giving the look that says let's do it. Even wearing his mask he was still attracting women, they were all acting like a bunch of fan girls. At least he knew how it feels to be Sasuke and it sucks, having so much attention by the women population it got him annoyed and irritated. But after all it wasn't so bad he has also gotten the attention of the children and they look at him like a hero, it was great to be a role model for the younger generation. Best of all the people here didn't believe the rumors they have heard about him, especially the one about his devouring their opponents' souls. He finally reached the main gate to Koyuki's palace which was ten times bigger than Shion's palace, he was immediately greeted by the guards guarding the gate.

"Welcome Kitsune-sama we've been expecting you."

"I'm sure you did." the mask mercenary said with a smirk." is Koyuki hime available?"

"Yes she's eagerly waiting your arrival she's in the garden please follow me I'll take you to her."

'Eagerly' he thought getting worry that she could be making preparations to have her way with him.' why me?'

He followed the guard inside the palace and his eyes widened the palace was even bigger inside than outside, every single was decorated by expensive paintings. He could also tell that Koyuki had a high taste in art and cultural taste, if it wasn't for the fact that a guard was leading to her he could easily get lost in the big palace. The guard leaded him to an exit which leads outside of the palace he was so amazed by the beautiful view before him. It was a garden all right, full of beautiful flowers they were all kind of flowers with different colors. Naruto was making sure that nothing was off from the garden, like a bed soft music playing he just was wanted to make sure that Koyuki wasn't planning in getting in his pants and the mission was another fake like Shion did. The guard finally stopped and Naruto could see a figure picking a couple of flowers, shortly the guard left and the mask mercenary went to the figure ahead.

He smiled recognizing the princess of spring country, Kojuki was wearing a light green kimono dress with a turquoise line running from the center of the dress going all the way to the bottom. Her raven haired was tied in a short pony tail, he admitted that the young woman was still as beautiful as he remembers the last time he saw her. It even made him wonder till this very day why the heck she was still single, with her beauty she could possibly have any man they will bow down to her feet if she wanted to. Naruto thought she was attractive and sexy, of course he has always thought older women were sexy since his experience with Mai. He didn't wanted to remember what happened at the strip club with Mai back at mist, so he gazed at the princess who was picking flowers before meeting his gaze.

The mask mercenary made a kind bow." hello Koyuki-hime I am Kitsune Flash I have come to accept the mission you assigned to me."

Koyuki smiled kindly at Kitsune." yes I knew it was you I've been expecting you, it's been a long time since we last seen each other isn't that right Naruto-kun?"

"Yes it has I'm glad to see you again." he replied smiling before realizing that she knew his identity." what……Koyuki-hime I don't remember telling you about my identity or giving you a message, care to explain?"

The princess was still smiling." Jiraiya-sama told me but don't worry I promised I was going to keep your identity a secret."

The mask mercenary smirked." well I hope you do I don't want to create a commotion if they learn who I am…." he paused in shock because Koyuki has walked towards him, giving him a warm embrace making him blush.

Koyuki smiled as she embraced Kitsune tightly, although she was holding in it inside she has really missed him a lot. This was the same person who has changed her life for the better, someone who has taught her to believe in herself there were no limits to what she could do as long she believe in herself. When Naruto told her those words back at their prison cell when they were capture by Doto, she realized how wrong she was of her way of thinking but not anymore. Naruto showed her the way to her right path because of him she was now living a happy life ruling as the princess of spring country. She sadly had to break the hug while Naruto had a big blush on his face, luckily his mask covered that not to mention that her smell was so alluring and addicting fueling his hormones a bit.

"I'm really happy to see you again Naruto-kun after five years and now look at you last I saw you, you were so short and now you're so tall how old are you anyway?"

"I'm seventeen." replied the mask mercenary noticing how Koyuki was staring at him.

"Really you look older." she said with a slight giggle while in her mind she licked her lips in satisfaction.' young and fresh meat.'

'Uh oh I have a bad feeling about this.' Kitsune thought at the way Koyuki was looking at him, she also had a small blush on her cheeks.' yup I was right before this day is over Koyuki-hime will try to seduce me can't women have control of their urges?'

"It's hard to believe it's really you, you have become so tall and you didn't sound so loud like the last time we met."

"What do you mean loud?" asked the amuse mercenary while crossing his arms.

"You were very loud the last time I saw you I remember you were a loudmouth brat who charged at the enemy without thinking." she gave a smirk.

"Hey did you call me here for the mission or to make fun of me." he crossed his arms again although he was amuse at the way the princess was teasing him.

She giggled before taking his hand and lead him inside the palace." yes I did but first let's talk to catch up for old times' sake."

The mask mercenary smirked as she lead him inside the palace, it will be all right to talk about what she's been up to since the last time he saw her as long as she didn't try to get into his pants. They arrived in the council meeting room which was the room she had visitors from other countries to discuss about political matters they got seated in their seats next to each other.

"So Naruto-kun how about you take your mask off?"

"I don't know about that, I really shouldn't do it so often in public places."

"Naruto-kun you're in my palace and we're alone I assure you that nobody is watching us."

Kitsune nodded before taking his mask off, Koyuki had her eyes widened for a moment as she was now looking at the seventeen year old Naruto and boy she was impressed at what she was staring. Not just he was taller but more handsome and mature, his golden blond hair was now longer reaching to his shoulders and his face was now more define giving him a big touch maturity. Koyuki had to hold her blush he was no longer the same little boy she met, she was now looking at a man a much better version of Uzumaki Naruto. Koyuki was smiling while having in her head the most indecent thought between her and hot blond in front of her, he looked like a god she could even imagined how he will look like naked. She had to hold the urge to have a nose bleed while she felt her whole body getting and wet at the hunk of a teen in front of her.

Naruto sweat dropped at the princess expression.' she's looking at me the same way all of the women have and just like Mai and Shion, oh damn she's planning in getting in my pants after all.'

"You make it sound like it was a bad thing kid." the Kyuubi said in a amuse tone." just make sure you don't screw up like last time."

Naruto obviously ignore the comment of the demon fox while looking at the princess." so how's everything after the last time we saw each other?"

Koyuki smiled." everything has been wonderful my people have been living in prosperity and I have been making a lot of negotiations and business with the other countries, I have been ruling with strength and kindness just like my father I know he would be very proud of me."

"I'm sure he would be Koyuki-hime I'm glad to hear that everything is fine and your kingdom looks very beautiful I've never been to such a beautiful city."

"Thank you it's all part of ruling with compassion and honesty and it's all thanks to you, however my council has advise me that I should find a husband so I can have an heir."

Naruto almost turned pale resembling Orochimaru's skin hearing that, it felt like déjà vu all over again when he was with Shion. It was very convenient that now that he was here Koyuki will tell him about having a husband so she can have a child to be the heir of her throne it was also very obvious that he was the main candidate to be her husband and the one to give her a child. Looks like Koyuki was just like every women around, they thought of him as a piece of hot juice who was nothing but a woman banging machine.

'I beginning to think there's no such a thing as a bodyguard mission for me, more like a mission to sleep with her and give her a child just like Shion maybe it's time I tell granny to give warning policies to women clients about no putting fake missions.'

"So Naruto-kun how you've been?" asked the princess kindly.

"Oh I'm fine you know me as a mercenary I'm always traveling around, visiting other lands doing all kinds of missions I really enjoy being a mercenary so many people I get to meet and so many places to see."

"I guess you've been having a great life as a Konoga ninja, so what happened to your friends?"

"Friends…" asked the blond thinking about his friends back in Konoha except for the members of team seven.

"Yeah you know you're teammates Kakashi, Sasuke and Sakura how are they doing?"

Naruto tense at the mention of his formal teammates he was now feeling anger and he didn't wanted to talk about them, yet he knew Koyuki just wanted to know about them after all she doesn't know a thing of what happened between him and team seven. Koyuki noticed his expression changing, one minute he was all normal and happy but now he was like he was masking his anger with a serious expression.

"Naruto-kun are you all right?" the princess asked with concern in her voice.

"Oh yeah I'm fine you want to know about my teammates let's see Kakashi I haven't heard anything from him in a long time and I don't care, Sasuke left Konoha twice to gain power from a homosexual snake and Sakura….well I don't feel like talking about her." he smiled although he was holding his anger.

Koyuki stood quiet it seems she must've brought a bad topic for the blond, she was shocked to say that Sasuke left the village of Konoha to become a missing nin. She felt sorry for him he must've a hard time with his teammates it will explained why he was holding his anger when he was talking. Now she felt bad for bringing the topic, here she was talking to him catching on what they've been doing since the last time they met and she has already made a mistake.

"Naruto-kun I'm sorry for asking." Koyuki's eyes softened.

The blond already sense her regret in her voice." Koyuki-hime it's all right it's not your fault I had some problems with my teammates I thought they were great friends but they were so different from me. One was a teacher who gave his attention to the prodigy of the group someone who was only thinking about revenge while he didn't care about his friends and only focus on his ambition and the other was selfish and manipulative using my loyalty for her to rescue him and bring him back to her, just to get slapped in the face by her twice and get rejected by her cold words."

This time he gave her a brilliant although on the inside there was pain and a lot of hurt." I have move on with my life and I won't be caught in the past anymore, the present is all that matters to me now and I'm happy just the way things are now."

The princess nodded feeling happy that she didn't hurt his feelings." I see so is everything all right in Konoha."

Naruto blinked at the question, he scratched the back of his head because he didn't know how things were going in his home village in five years." I guess everything is all right in Konoha, at least the last time I was there but the village must be all right today so everything is all right." he gave his fox grin feeling stupid for his answer.

Koyuki was a little shocked." Naruto-kun what was the last time you've been in Konoha?"

The blond chuckle nervously." It's been a while I guess."

"Really…when?" she raised an eyebrow in curiosity.

"Five years." he said with a sweat dropped.

"Five years!" she was shocked." Naruto-kun, how can you be away from your home for so long?"

"Koyuki-hime I'm a mercenary my job is to receive a list with different missions and I'm suppose to be away from my village there's nothing wrong with that I have accepted this big responsibility."

"But won't your friends miss you? I'm talking your other friends not your teammates." she said quickly since she didn't wanted to bring the topic of team seven again to the blond.

Naruto sighed." I guess they will but don't forget they are ninjas of Konoha too and they have responsibilities to attend to, they are always busy to be thinking about their old friend."

Koyuki couldn't believe what she just heard." Naruto-kun how can you say that? True friends are always loyal and if your friends are loyal they must be worried sick about you, I mean have you written a letter to them telling them that you're all right."

'That's what the pervy sage told me.' he sweat dropped before sighing again." um…..no"

"Oh dear your friends must really miss you, you leave and you haven't return back to your village for five years how long are you planning in traveling around?"

Naruto stood quiet he couldn't tell her the awful truth that he wasn't planning to return to Konoha, seeing how concern the princess was she will get upset with him if he told her the truth." well I am thinking in returning in a couple of days I do miss everyone."

Koyuki smiled while nodding." good that's more like it, for a moment I thought you were planning in not coming back."

'If she only knew' Naruto thought.

"I mean it's definitely not you to never return to your village because that will be running away and the Naruto-kun I know will never run away right?" she smiled at him while the blond was trying to smile while on the inside regret was invading his mind.

Naruto finally decided to bring another topic." Koyuki-hime you haven't found a husband yet?"

The princess shook her head." no so far I haven't found anyone special, but I don't let that get to me I'm not in a hurry to find a husband I'm not that desperate I will continue to enjoy my life the way it is."

'I guess she haven't thought about me like that, although I shouldn't jump to conclusions too soon when I less expect she might ambush me and take advantage of me I hope nothing like that happens again I don't think I'll be able to go through with something like that."

"You mean get laid kid can you be more pathetic? You're actually afraid of getting laid to a beautiful human I have a worthless loser for a container."

'I am not listening to you now get lost fox.'

"You know Naruto-kun I never thought you will be the one and only Kitsune Flash I have heard so many things about you." Koyuki said.

Naruto sighed." let me guess did you hear I devour the souls of my opponents?"

The princess giggle." yes I did but I pay no attention to it they are just crazy rumors that people come up with, but to think you have become so strong it doesn't surprise me I always knew you will become someone famous someday."

"I trained hard and I always work hard that's how I got strong it wasn't easy but I never give up, so anyway Koyuki-him how about we get to business and tell me about the mission?" he was finally going to find out if the mission was real or not.

Koyuki nodded." yes Naruto-kun my life is in danger I need you as my bodyguard."

"I see do you know who these people that are after you are?"

"I think I have an idea there has been rumors that snow ninjas have been spotted in the border of spring country, they have been seen lately and they are currently been heading to the capital city somehow I think these ninjas might be followers of my uncle."

Naruto nodded." Doto eh, so these snow ninjas might be loyalist to him and that would explain why they could be after you."

"Yes so far they haven't come to the palace but I have a feeling that they could be planning to make their move any day now, I don't feel safe with my guards that's why I need you Naruto-kun would you accept my mission?"

The blond smirked." Koyuki-hime I am already here so that means I will accept you have nothing to worry about, as long as you're with me you'll be safe believe it!" he gave his fox grin feeling relief.' At least it's not a fake mission.'

Koyuki smiled warmly at him." thank you Naruto-kun I knew I could count on you."

(Location: a few miles away from the capital city)

Near a cavern ten shadowy figures were gathered gazing at the distance of the city, one of them went ahead of the group while gazing at the view with a chuckle.

"Today we finally make our move the princess will die today."

"For Doto-sama she won't escape."

"And you think it will be that easy she knows of us and according to the information I have gathered, it says that she has hire a bodyguard."

One of them snorted." big deal she can hire any of those weaklings swordsmen and we could still finish them off without breaking a sweat."

"You fools don't know what I'm talking about she just didn't hire any bodyguard she hire him! Kitsune Flash."

Everyone gasped while some of them were trembling in fear of course they have heard of the famous Konoha mercenary so many rumors about him. How strong he is and his ability to devour their souls, they also say that he wasn't human that his eyes were filled with anger and malice like he was a heartless demon. Another rumor is that he didn't spare no one once he starts killing he doesn't stop until his thirst for blood is satisfy.

"You're kidding right there's no way she will hire him of all people."

"Were so screw we can't take him on its suicide."

"We'll be digging our own grave."

"I don't want to die."

"Enough!" shouted one of them." don't be cowards what you heard from Kitsune Flash are nothing but rumors did you seriously believe he will devour your soul, what a bunch none sense we will take him on and defeat him. It's better this way we killed the princess and we will also kill Kitsune Flash don't you guys know the big bounty he has on his head it's a lot, with that kind of money we will have enough to buy our own country."

"You're right besides there's only one of him and ten of us he won't be able to take on all of us at the same time."

"Exactly he's only one man if we attack him together he won't stand a chance he'll be expecting that we will attack him individually well he's wrong."

"All right let's do this we'll be killing two birds with one stone."

The shadowy figures vanished expecting that fighting Kitsune Flash was going to be a walk in the park sadly for them they were really digging their graves.

(Location: small restaurant village district Konoha fire country territory)

Tenten was sitting in one of the tables waiting for her friends to come, she was wearing casual clothes a white Chinese shirt with black shorts along with Chinese style sandals. She was relief to have a day off and have decided to call the other girls to spend time with her. She knew most of them will like to have a break because a lot of them were busy with their ninja duties, so she like having a girls day out every once in a while. Although at first she wanted to invite the boys too, however they were busier than her girlfriends so asking them to come was out of the question. A few minutes later she saw two of them entering the restaurant heading to her table, she smiled waving at the two kunoichis Ino and Hinata.

Ino has developed quite well in five years, the seventeen year old jounin was a few inches taller making her 5'4 tall her body has also developed nicely with impressive womanly curves and D cups breast her blond hair has grown back becoming long she had tied on a pony tail with a portion hiding her left eye. She was wearing a purple lace tank top with a white skirt reaching to her knees, and a pair of long brown sandals. Hinata has also change a lot in recent years she was probably the same height as the Yamanaka maybe taller by one inch. Her body was developed to a perfect ten earning a voluptuous body, along with a pair of double D breast her navy blue hair like Ino has also grown reaching to her shoulders she was a sight to behold indeed. The jounin was wearing a blue shirt with a cream jacket that resembles her old jacket back when she was a genin long black pants and brown sandals.

They were just wearing casual village clothes since they were also having a day off, Tenten couldn't help but grinned in amusement. It really amazed her that someone like her had a boyfriend when she wasn't as near as attractive and beautiful like the two kunoichis heading her way. It was hard to believe that gorgeous kunoichis like Ino and Hinata were still single perhaps they weren't trying hard enough. Tenten sweat dropped at the thought that couldn't be it with their looks they could have any man if they want to so what was the problem?

She smiled seeing the two kunoichis that were getting seated with her." hey you guys glad you could make it."

"You know I wouldn't miss this after I've been so busy lately, now that I finally have a break I'm glad to have a girls day out." Ino said.

"Me too I have been having more missions than usual, but I don't complain after my hard training." Hinata said happily.

One of the waitresses went to them." hello, can I take your order?"

"Yes I will like some dumplings what would you have Ino?" asked the bun haired jounin.

"Dango with some green tea please" replied the Yamanaka.

"I would like some cinnamon rolls thank you." the Hyuga heiress said.

The waitress nodded before leaving Tenten smiled at the relief kunoichi's." so how's it been?"

"Tiring." replied Ino with a sigh." I have been working so much in the interrogation department more than usual, so far I have verbally torture ten suspects and one woman at least I'm grateful that I learned from Ibiki-san."

Tenten chuckle." yeah I feel sorry for those people using verbal torture is worst than using physical torture knowing how Ibiki works, he can make anyone crack like an egg in seconds."

"I didn't just learned from Ibiki-san but from Anko sensei too, she has taught me how to use my feminine wiles on the boys." she giggle with a grin.

"Ino-san you've been seducing them I don't think that it's right to use tour body to make them talk." Hinata said while shaking her head negatively.

The platinum blond smirked." hey like Anko sensei says if you have the package and the body might as well use them for torture you should joined the interrogation team too Hinata, with your body you'll be even better than Anko sensei."

Hinata forced a blush at the Yamanaka's comment while clearing her throat of course she knew what her blond friend was talking about, she knew she had a body that a lot of women will kill for. Perfect legs, perfect chest, amazing beauty and a nice backside she had everything to make her a killer body kunoichi.

"I'm sorry Ino-san but I am not interesting in becoming a torture seductress to make men horny, I am not like Anko-san." she replied coolly.

The two kunoichis chuckle while smirking at the reply from the Hyuga heiress, they were shocked to see how much she has change in the recent years. Hinata was no longer the timid girl who used to hide in a tree when her crush was near, she was now more talkative and bolder she was also not afraid to expresses herself and point out the truth. They will like to see the face of a certain blond ninja if he sees her now, she will no longer faint and stutter if he was right here with them of course it was all just pretending since they haven't heard anything from him in the last five years except for Tenten. It wasn't long before the waitress returned with their food they started eating while Tenten noticed that there was one kunoichi missing from their group.

She sighed." looks like Sakura won't be joining us again."

"What do you expect from forehead?" Ino said eating a dango." you know she has become into a workaholic for a while now, she's always in the hospital might as well spend the night in the hospital too."

"It can't be help Ino-san you know how much she has change ever since…..well you know." Hinata said her eyes softening thinking about her pink haired friend and a certain blond ninja.

The Yamanak stopped her chewing while remembering the terrible memory of what happened at the hospital between Naruto and Sakura, she remembers the painful blow Naruto received at her best friends hands. But that wasn't all she knows how much pain Sakura was in because of that day, her huge change in personality and the condition she was in it was all done because of the great regret she feels for what she did. Then again now that she thought about it, everything was her fault she was the cause of both of their pain. How could she forget that day when they were little, she was the one that made Sakura hate Naruto in the first place she was the reason she destroyed her friendship with him. If she has never done that then Sakura would've be together with Naruto as her best friend and they would be close.

Tenten and Hinata saw the distant look the platinum blond in her, like she was no longer with them they eventually got worry for her." Ino are you okay?" asked the bun haired jounin.

"Hmm…yeah I am don't worry I guess I failed as a best friend, I've done everything I can to help forehead get better and I couldn't some best friend I turned out to be it's like she feels worst day by day."

"Don't say that Ino-san you've done your best to help her we all did, Sakura-san just need time to get through with this." Hinata said.

"Or maybe she needs a certain someone to come back to the village and face her so she can finally tell him how sorry she is after everything she did to him." Tenten said eating another dumpling.

The two kunoichis stood quiet thinking about a certain blond, Hinata felt down hearing about him she has missed him a lot and she hasn't heard a thing from him in years making her feel worried sick over him. Ino was in the same boat too she missed Naruto, to think she will missed him this much the blond knuckle head. Right she didn't know what her feelings for him were five years ago she had a simple crush on him now she just didn't know. She didn't know if she still had a crush on him or maybe there was something more, she hopes she was wrong how could she love someone who she hasn't in a long time?

"Tenten you do know that we haven't heard from Naruto-kun since he left the village to train with Jiraiya-sama, Tsunade-sama hasn't told us a thing about his whereabouts and she hasn't even received any letters from him." Hinata said.

"I know about that." the bun haired jounin ate another dumpling, then she remember Kitsune Flash and her recent discovery of his identity.' maybe I should tell them about what I think, but I don't want to lift their hopes up I know they missed Naruto a lot.'

Thinking of the mask mercenary she decided to bring him up since she has never talked about him when they eat together." so anyway, have you guys heard about Kitsune Flash?"

Tenten couldn't help but smirk at the sight before her, as soon as she asked that question both Ino and Hinata were blushing. Of course they have heard of the mighty Konoha mercenary, they have hear all sorts of thing from the rumors the villagers spread. They have heard about his strength that he was invincible they have heard he was indestructible that he was merciless fighter and he didn't take prisoners. They have heard other nasty rumors that he eats their remains and devoured the souls of his opponents, and also that he was a heartless demon. Of course they weren't stupid and they weren't going to believe such foolish rumors, they thought of him as a regular person who fights for Konoha just another ninja doing his job for the village. The reasons why they blushed are because both of them were actually fan girls of the mask mercenary, ever since they first heard about him they started worshiping him.

Ino blushed thinking of the mask mercenary she hasn't told anyone about it, she thought men wearing masks were hot and sexy she found it quite a turn on. She also believed that Kitsune Flash was a real hunk behind his mask, she could imagine him how handsome he would look just thinking about it made her feel so hot. Hinata had a small blush thinking of the mask mercenary, of course what she has for him was just a small fan girl crush compare to how she feels about Naruto because she loves him. However she thought that behind his mask there was a very kindhearted person who loves to help people just like Naruto thinking about the blond made her shed tears she misses him dearly.

Ino smiled at Tenten." what about him?" now the conversation got better because the mask mercenary was now the new topic to discuss.

Tenten finished eating another dumpling before speaking." Well there's something you guys should know about him." she paused looking around the restaurant at the people." It's something important about him."

Ino and Hinata were both looking very interested at the bun haired jounin's comment both were getting very curious to find out what she has to tell them about Kitsune Flash.

"Well come on Tenten don't keep us in suspense tell us already." Ino said while Hinata nodded.

"All right, you guys know that a couple of weeks ago Lee and I got a mission to demon country to deliver an alliance message to the high priestess of that country." she paused again looking around the people while the two kunoichis were still paying close attention to her." well me and Lee before meeting with the priestess we….we ran into Kitsune Flash." she whisper the last part but loud enough for them to hear.

"WHAT!?" the two kunoichis shouted in unison.

Tenten scolded them." shhh not so loud I don't want this information to spread by the gossip network of the villagers."

"Tenten you really met him are you sure it was him?" asked Hinata.

"Oh yeah it was him all right he was freaking tall and wearing a long black trench coat and a scary fox mask."

"So what happened?" asked Hinata wanting to know badly she couldn't believe one of her friend actually met the one and only Kitsune Flash in person.

"At first he was a bit creepy and all serious but when Lee decided that he should travel with us to the palace of the priestess he agreed since he was headed there, and that's where things became a little weird."

"What do you mean?" asked Ino dying of curiosity.

"As we travel with him he started to talk to us quite a lot, I didn't know he was so talkative and the strangest things were that the way he talked and acted it was very familiar…"

"What do you mean familiar?" asked the Hyuga heiress.

"His way of acting his personality and his appetite boy did he could eat, when we were having dinner with the priestess he ate like there was no tomorrow."

"Well Tenten a big guy like Kitsune Flash has to eat a lot." replied the Yamanaka with a smirk.

"I know but the more time me and Lee spend with him the more I started to get suspicious about his identity."

The two kunoichis eye's widened in shock as they looked around them making sure none of the people listen to their conversation, did Tenten actually discover who Kitsune Flash is? If the villagers find out it will be the biggest scandal ever.

Ino and Hinata got closer to the bun haired jounin wanting to hear the big secret." all right Tenten you got our attention did you found out who Kitsune Flash is?" asked Ino.

"Did you saw him without his mask?" asked Hinata with a slight blush on her cheeks imagining how handsome he would look.

"Better yet did you saw him naked?" asked the platinum blond with a blush and a devilish smirk thinking how hot the mask mercenary would look in his birthday suit.

"WHAT!?" came the shocking reply from Tenten her whole face red from anger and embarrassment.

Ino laughed the same with Hinata although she was thinking the same thing as the bleach blond." I'm just messing with you Tenten just kidding don't take me so seriously."

Tenten sighed." I swear you have become so much like Anko it's so scary."

"At least she didn't got Anko sensei's fashion sense." Hinata said with a laugh while Tenten joined her.

Ino frowned thinking how she would looked wearing the snake jounins outfit and shook her head erasing the though." very funny you two now come on Tenten don't change the topic, tell us already the big secret about you know who?"

The bun haired jounin finally stopped laughing while getting back to the big topic." all right like I said I kind of got suspicious of his identity as I saw him talking and eating and well I don't want to lift your hopes up, but I think that Kitsune Flash could be……..Naruto." she whisper the blonds' ninjas name.

The two kunoichis gasped hearing the revelation they just couldn't believe that the mask mercenary Kitsune Flash was really the blond ninja that left Konoha five years ago. Ino was still shocked while Hinata had some tears formed at the corner of her eyes, she felt so happy that her blond crush was all right and he was the famous Kitsune Flash all along which it was all the better for her she can love both him and the mask mercenary at the same time.

"You can't be serious." Ino said still shocked." it can't be are you saying that the famous unstoppable bad ass Kitsune Flash is really him, the same loud mouth blond knucklehead who used to play pranks on the villagers?"

"Not so loud Ino." Tenten scolded while looking around." anyway yeah I think it's true the way he acts and his appetite no doubt it's his, and besides it makes perfect sense when you realize it."

"What do you mean Tenten?" asked Hinata.

"I'm talking about the fact that Tsunade-sama hasn't said a word to us about Naruto and the fact why she hasn't taken action in calling the hunter nins, you guys know if a ninjas stays too long away from the village without authorization from the Hokage he will become a missing nin."

"So that would explain why Tsunade-sama hasn't done a thing yet, it must be because Naruto-kun is really him he's still working for the village." Hinata said with a smile while drying her tears.

"I still can't believe it's true." Ino said still shocked." I mean Kitsune Flash is 6'3 feet tall and Naruto was a small fry even me and Sakura were taller than him."

"Ino-san it's been five years Naruto-kun must be seventeen I'm sure he must've become quite tall." Hinata said with a slight blush thinking how handsome her crush must be now.

"So anyway you guys seem to get all cheery when you hear about Kitsune Flash don't tell me you guys are his fan girls?" Tenten said with a giggle.

"Oh yeah Hinata is definitely one she has bought a lot of merchandise from Kitsune Flash isn't that right Hinata?" the Yamanaka gave a grin.

The Hyuga heiress blushed at the comment while frowning." maybe I am I'm not the only one, Ino-san you're a big fan girl too."

"What are you talking about? I'm not a fan girl my fan girls days are over." she remembered how she used to be with a certain Uchiha.

Hinata smirked." really if I recall correctly you begged me to give you my Kitsune Flash poster, you must have it hanging at the door of your room isn't that right Ino-san?"

The platinum blond blushed deep while Tenten was smirking in amusement enjoying their little quarrel they had going, she decided to play the game." well you two can continue fighting over Kitsune Flash but I already have my number one man, my boyfriend of course." she blushed thinking of Rock Lee.

Hinata sweat dropped at her comment while Ino frowned." you see Hinata she's rubbing it in our noses again that we don't have boyfriends."

"Hey you guys can't blame me come on look at you two, you guys are probably the most attractive kunoichis in the entire village and you two are single and look at me I'm not the prettiest flower in the garden and I already have a boyfriend."

"Well Lee is definitely no prince Charming with those huge thick eye brows and that hair cut." replied the Yamanaka.

"I beg to differ Ino is there one thing I have learned with being with my boyfriend is that looks aren't everything, its what's on the inside that counts Lee is very passionate and dedicated to me and he always knows how to make me happy that's all that matters to me."

"There's someone for everyone that's what I always say." Hinata said." I am not so desperate to find a boyfriend, when the time comes that love will guide me I will follow my heart."

"Deep words from the heiress of the Hyuga clan." Tenten said with a smile.

Ino crossed her arms in annoyance." big deal all I'm saying is so what if we don't have boyfriends it will come to us all in due time, and besides me and Hinata aren't the only pretty girls who are single Sakura is also single you know."

"But she has been asked out by a lot of boys before." Tenten said with a smirk.

"And she has turned them all down if you haven't notice forehead is not interested in having a boyfriend with her selling her soul to work all the time." Ino said.

"You can't blame her Ino-san she's not the same person anymore, you already know why I think that the only thing she will pay more attention to than her work is to have Naruto-kun's forgiveness for everything she did to him."

The Yamanaka eyes softened thinking of her best friend." yeah you're right I don't think she'll be able to live with herself if she can't have his forgiveness I wish there was something I can do for her."

"As long as we don't mention Naruto's name in front of her she'll be fine." Tenten said knowing her condition.

They finished eating their food before they started talking about boys however Ino and Hinata were thinking about someone all right a certain mask mercenary, and now they knew the truth about his identity things have become better for them. Both blushed in their minds as they knew what they want who they want.

They both want Kitsune Flash aka Uzumaki Naruto.

(Location: city capital spring country territory)

When Kitsune accepted the job of guarding princess Koyuki from being attack by possible snow ninja threat, he was expecting that he was going to be guarding the door that leads to her bedroom. However he was never expecting to be with her walking the streets of the city, she was holding his hands like they were actually together. So why did he felt like he was on a date with her instead of doing his mission of bodyguard, maybe this was another fake mission like the one Shion made. But he knew he couldn't leave someone important as Koyuki in the middle of the city, so far he has had a nice time. Koyuki took him to a restaurant then she took him dancing at a club. After that they went to sit in a beautiful park, and now they were walking the streets she was obviously looking for the next place to go with her mask date. Kitsune was feeling embarrassed seeing that the people passing by were looking at him weirdly, they weren't expecting the princess of spring country being with a mask person especially when he's wearing a scary fox mask.

Koyuki gazed at him with a smile even if he was wearing a mask she could tell that he was a nervous." Naruto-kun relax were only spending time together it's not like we're on a date or anything of the sort."

"You could've fooled me with the way you're holding my hand it's like we were married." he said with a smirk.

"Naruto-kun why do you ask? Do you want to be my husband?" the princess replied with a smirk while feeling herself blush." I did told you I am in search of a husband and you will be the perfect candidate, so what do you say?"

The mask mercenary chuckled." I am flatter that you asked me such a question but don't you think I am a little too young for you?"

"I'm only twenty three and besides I like my men young." she said with a giggle while happily taking his hand.

Kitsune chuckle although he was blushing like mad, luckily for him his mask prevented the princess from seeing his embarrass face. He decided to let go and continued walking holding the hand of the princess, as long as she wasn't planning in getting in his pants he doesn't mind having the date with the young woman.

"Naruto-kun can I ask you a personal question?"

"I don't mind Koyuki-hime go ahead and shoot."

"What kind of girls do you like?" she gazed at him smiling expecting to hear his answer.

"You're asking me what kind of women I like?" asked the mask mercenary amuse at her boldness.

"Yes I hope you don't mind answering."

"Not at all although I don't have time to be looking for a girlfriend, I am looking for a woman who can understand me and my pain a lot a girl who will always be there for me when I need conform and care. A girl who would never think of me as second best because she couldn't have her real man of her dreams, a girl who would never insult me or hit me for being myself. A girl who would never betrayed me because I was never good enough for her, a girl who would never break my heart over and over again." by now his voice was filled with hurt thinking of a certain pink haired demon.

He didn't realize that Koyuki embrace him in a tight hug, she noticed how hurt his tone was. Apparently he's been through some painful experience with a girl she was upset what kind of person would hurt someone as kindhearted as Naruto. She wanted to face this person and put her in her place, whoever did this to him won't get away with this. Kitsune broke the hug feeling better that Koyuki did such a kind act for him, after all this time he couldn't forget about what happened at the hospital with Sakura.

He smiled at her." thanks Koyuki-hime I shouldn't have gotten so emotional."

"Don't feel sorry Naruto-kun it was my fault for asking you a personal question like that."

"It's all right I'm feeling fine."

"I didn't know you've been through heartbreak I'm sorry Naruto-kun, can you tell me who the heartless girl who broke your heart was?"

Kitsune sighed." I'm sorry Koyuki-hime but I don't feel like talking about her, I don't want to hear anymore from her, right now she must be so happy that I'm no longer in her life let's leave it like that."

They continued walking before Kitsune sense something his face expression was all serious while Koyuki saw him looking at the road ahead.

"What's wrong?"

"Were being follow." he replied in a whisper.

"You don't mean…."

"Yeah it could be those snow ninjas."

"What are we going to do?"

"Just relax and follow me."

As they continued walking on the roofs of the building there were two shadowy figures watching over the couple, one of them gulped in fear they weren't facing any opponent they were facing Kitsune Flash. Before they jumped to the other roof they were ambush by Kitsune's shadow clones, they beat the living crap out of them. One of the clones saw their appearance and recognized the snow ninja uniform along with the chakra armor and the snow headband on his forehead, the clones vanished as the real Kitsune got the information learned from his clones.

"I was right they are snow ninjas Koyuki-hime stay calm I know what to do."

The princess nodded and she was going to listen to him, after all she wasn't afraid because she was with him. The reason she called on him to protect is because she knows he will do a great job, also because she wanted to go out with him but that was the bonus of the mission. They turned in a corner while they were being watched by more snow ninjas they already knew that they have lost two of their own they needed to strike now.

"He already knows were here what are your orders boss?"

"Get the princess she must die I will handle Kitsune Flash."

The ninja nodded and vanished along with the leader, meanwhile Kitsune and Koyuki were now running seeing the snow ninjas jumping from the roofs of the buildings. One of the snow ninjas jumped towards Koyuki grabbing her, Kitsune tried to stop him but he was ambush by the leader of the snow ninjas. He used a kunai stabbing him but he vanished in a cloud of smoke.

The leader gasped.' what that was a shadow clone all along, then where is the real one?'

The group of snow ninjas regrouped in one of the streets, the people passing were screaming and fleeing seeing them they eventually thought they were under attack.

The snow ninja that had Koyuki put her down while the rest took their kunais ready to kill her however that's not what happened next. In a second Koyuki vanished replace by the real Kitsune and punching the snow ninjas sending them to the ground. Kitsune sighed seeing how weak they were, it was like fighting a couple of academy students.

"Come on is that the best you can do I think monkeys can fight better than this." mocked the mask mercenary.

The snow ninjas weren't going to take his insult so lightly they all make different hand seals ready to throw their strongest attacks at him.

"Ice release ice spear!"

"Ice release ice dragon!"

"Ice release blizzard storm!"

"Ice release wolf stampede!"

Kitsune smirked at the barrage of attacks heading his way, it looked impossible to dodge or blocked so he quickly hand seals while holding his breath." wind release Gale storm!"

Kitsune blow a powerful wind storm from his mouth hitting all attacks destroying them in the process, the snow ninjas were in shocked at what they just witnessed. They fired their strongest attacks and all did it take from Kitsune to stopped their attacks is to use only one jutsu, some of them were ready to crap their pants while others peed in their pants already. Kitsune charged at them forming two rasengans in each of his hands, he hit two snow ninjas with his double rasengan technique leaving only five ninjas left. He punched another ninja knocking him out, and grabbed another ninja from behind, he used a bully technique called weggy jutsu pulling his boxers as high as he could doing major damage to his balls.

He then summoned two shadow clones using rasengan on two snow ninjas leaving only one left, the last snow ninja has already peed in his pants and it wouldn't be long before he craps in his pants. He couldn't believe the speed of the mask mercenary, in seconds he took out six chunin level snow ninjas. Now he knew he was at the mercy of the fox mercenary, Kitsune was now staring at him walking towards ready to deliver the killing blow. He gasped as Kitsune pinned him to a wall with a killing intent emitting from his body, he started crying completely scare that he was going to die.

"Please I beg of you have mercy please spare me I was just following orders, I have no interest in the least in killing the princess!"

"Aw that's too bad but you were still trying to kill her even if you didn't want to, I must get rid of all enemies." Kitsune said in a cold tone.

"Please no I mean it I wasn't going to kill her I swear to you on my life, hell I'm even a big fan of her I love the princess Fuu trilogy and Itcha Itcha Paradise the movie Koyuki was so hot in that film I will never take her life she's my idol."

"Sorry pal but I'm not in the mood to show mercy today, however I will like to know what your soul will taste like." he chuckle evilly.

The snow ninja was pale shivering in fear." oh no please no don't devour my soul, I knew the rumors were true but please no don't do it!"

Kitsune laughed evilly." yes it's been a while since I have taste a tasty human soul I wonder what yours will taste like, hopefully it will taste like ramen." he continued laughing evilly.

"No PLEASE DON'T!!!" the snow ninja closed his eyes he didn't wanted to see the horrible fate he's been given, he knew he was going to die and his soul will be devour.

Kitsune chuckle as he put his finger in his mouth making it wet, he then putting in his ear." here's my wet finger jutsu!"

The snow ninja felt his wet finger in his ear making him scream he left running for his life, Kitsune chuckle as he has won the fight. The leader of the snow ninjas finally arrived at the scene and he was shocked to see all of his mean dead, except for the one who ran screaming like a girl. He was scared he has never such an opponent before he was starting to believe all those rumors about him being true. He believed that Kitsune flash was truly unstoppable and probably the strongest ninja alive. Kitsune was looking with a grin on his face, it seems the leader looked like he was ready to crap his pants just like his men.

Kitsune made the first move as he stared at the ninja." boo!"

The leader left running and screaming for his life, Kitsune snorted seeing how much of a coward he was nevertheless he took some enjoyment beating the snow ninjas. Shortly after Koyuki came with two of her guards, they saw the bodies of the snow ninjas and Kitsunee standing tall without breaking a sweat. Koyuki was staring at the mask mercenary with so much admiration and affection, needless to say that she was going gaga over him. She felt herself blush while her whole body was getting hot she was also getting wet just by staring at him she felt like eating him up.

"Everything is all right now Koyuki-hime I took care of the snow ninjas, a few of them got away though." Kitsune said.

"My lady should we go after them?" one of the guards asked.

"Yes make sure that they have left the city." replied the princess.

"That really won't be necessary." Kitsune said getting their attention." I saw the look in their faces and trust me they won't be coming back here I assure you Koyuki-hime you are now safe and sound."

"I see then that will be all right please send word to everyone in the kitchen to prepare dinner I'm sure Kitsune-sama won't mind if he stays for dinner what do you say?" Koyuki said with a smile while in her mind she was screaming that he says yes.

"I guess I can't say no to a nice dinner I am hungry, so I won't if I stay for dinner." he smiled looking at Koyuki who was blushing and smiling, he didn't like that look in her face.' after I eat I will leave I have a bad feeling about this and I'm very good in sensing those.' he remembered his past experiences with Mai and Shion.

(Time skip: Koyuki's palace nightfall)

Kitsune was walking the halls of the palace with a big smile on his face, usually after having a nice and delicious dinner with Koyuki he was going to leave and continue his journey. However Koyuki gave him an offer that he couldn't refuse, she invited him to her private theater to watch one of her movies with her. He wasn't stupid a chance to watch one of her movies for free no chance in hell he was going to say no, he was now holding a big bucket of pop corn ready to watch the movie. He finally arrived at the entrance of the theater, when he enter his eyes widened and he couldn't help but give a whistle as a sign that he was very impressed with the view. The theater was huge it look like it could hold a capacity of a thousand people or more, and the silver screen was over seventy inches long. Just by looking at the theater this was definitely the best place to watch a nice action pack movie.

He went to his seat next to Koyuki who was waiting for him smiling sweetly at him he got seated next to her." It's been a while since I've been to a theater here Koyuki-hime I got plenty of pop corn for both of us."

"I'm glad you like it Naruto-kun I hardly come here because I was all alone, but now that you're here with me I can finally relax here and enjoy one of my movies."

"Pop corn?" he offered some to the princess.

"That will be all right Naruto-kun I don't want some." she replied kindly.

"You sure I have enough here to fed five people?" he started eating once the princess told him no for the second time, he stopped before looking at her again." so Koyuki-hime which princess Fuu movie will be watching? Cause you know my favorite movie was the first one you truly rock in the last fight."

"You will see soon enough Naruto-kun by the way you can take your mask off, this place is completely isolated."

"Why not, I won't mind taking it off here." he removed his mask as the lights of the theater went down and the big silver screen was turned on so the movie could begin.

"I hope it's the first part." the blond said eating more pop corn.

"Actually Naruto-kun is none of the princess Fuu movies however it is one of my movies, which has also become quite famous just like the book." Koyuki said with a giggle.

'What just like the book? What is she talking about?' his eyes widened as he saw the title of the movie.' oh shit!'

He was shocked to see the title saying Itcha Itcha paradise the movie, he couldn't believe it he hasn't seen the movie yet but he knew he'll be wasting his money. After all he knew what kind of movie is this since it was his perverted teacher the one who wrote the book, this movie was nothing but a dumb porno. He never actually thought of watching adult movies, he has only seen a couple of magazines but that was when he was an annoying twelve year old. He gulped while Koyuki was just smiling like she was going to enjoy watching the movie with him, right now he didn't know what to do. Either he will leave now and miss watching an adult movie and leave Koyuki hanging in the process, then again since he was here and the movie just started might as well stay and enjoy it with the princess. As the movie started he was now enjoying the drama since he has read the first volume thanks to his perverted teacher, he kept bothering to read the whole book so he can tell him his personal opinion about it.

However in the first fifteen minutes of the movie Naruto was feeling a little hot, seeing the sex scenes really got him aroused and his hormones went to high gear. His manhood has already reacted randomly beautiful women having sex have really affected him. He hasn't forgotten the fact that there was a very beautiful women seated next to him, he took a glance who looked like she was enjoying licking her lips a little like she was getting arouse too. Then there was another scene in the movie where Koyuki was wearing a very sexy red dress showing a lot of cleavage and her sexy long legs, he gulped as he notice Koyuki staring at him with a gleam of lust in her blue eyes.

"Is there something wrong Naruto-kun?" she asked with a hint of concern however she was hiding her lust and the urge to jump on him.

"No nothing is wrong this movie is a little hot isn't it?" he asked innocently although he was nervous and he was getting very aroused by the minute.

"I guess, is this the first time you see an adult movie Naruto-kun?"

"Yeah it is I never imagine the movie of Itcha Itcha will be this graphic."

Koyuki only smiled as she went back to watch the movie although she could tell he was arouse, just by looking at his face full of sweat.' it's working looks like it won't be long before lust takes over him and I will make my move on him.'

Naruto saw during the movie that the character that Koyuki played was begging for the man that she was in love with which was the main character of the movie to stay with her, he said that he couldn't that he needed to go. But before he left Naruto's eyes widened as Koyuki removed her red dress revealing her naked body, by now Naruto was eating pop corn to try and control his arousal but it wasn't working. Naruto was seeing Koyuki's body and it was very sexy, perfect curves perfect breasts size not too big not too small they were perfect her womanhood was very wet. He gulped again as they started to have sex, Koyuki was moaning loudly by the ministrations the male actor was doing to her. Then they finally began the act of love as the male actor got on top off her and inserted his manhood in her entrance, both started moving their bodies in perfect rhythm while moaning loudly.

He didn't notice that Koyuki has gotten close to him until he was near his ear." you know Naruto-kun when I was shooting this scene I was thinking that I was making love to someone else, do you know who I'm talking about?"

"Really who?" asked the arouse Naruto acting stupid.

Koyuki leaned closer reaching his lips." the handsome man next to me." she gave him a playful smirk before kissing his cheek slowly savoring his taste and she love it very much.

Naruto was dumbfounded.' oh you've got to be kidding me, I can't believe this don't tell me this was her plan all along to seduce me using this movie and have her way with me here! In a theater'

"But you have to admit kid it's a good plan from her part to use the movie to make you horny, now go get her make her scream." the demon fox chuckle in amusement." make sure you don't screw up like last time."

Koyuki finally kissed his lips savoring his taste which she has become addicted to she made him open his mouth so she can use her tongue. It wasn't long before Naruto reacted and started kissing her back, his tongue battling it out with her own, he pulled her closer as she wrapped her arms around his neck both moaning in each other's mouth. As the movie continued to show the hot scene between Koyuki and the male actor there was already another hot scene about to be unfold in the theater, as Naruto and Koyuki continued to battle it out with their tongues his hand reached out to her breasts. Koyuki knew where this was going and she open her dress kimono in the upper half revealing a white stylish bra, she immediately pulled it down giving Naruto a good view of her breasts.

Naruto grinned at the view of her breast, although they weren't as big as Mai's and Shion's they were enough to satisfy his lust. He started playing with them making the princess moan, he fondle one of the while sucking on the other one he put his mouth on her breast and all that Koyuki could do was moaned his name in pure pleasure she was at his mercy. When he was done with her right breast he did the same method to her left and now he was fondling and pinching her left breast, Koyuki has reached critical level in her arousal and she grabbed the blond and send him to the ground. Naruto didn't know what happened until Koyuki took off his black trench coat and now she was staring at him, giving him the look that his shirt had to go. Naruto grinned before taking his blue vest off and for the first time he was showing his bare form to a woman.

Koyuki fell like her eyes were ready to leave from their sockets at the sight of his chest he was all muscle up with well tone abs and an amazing six pack. She couldn't believe a seventeen year old will have such an amazing body, but Naruto has developed such a body from his years of hard training. Koyuki started massaging his muscles chest wanting to feel well tone body, just the feel of it made her so wet. It wasn't long before she started grinding her hips feeling his manhood poking her, she moaned in delight at the feel of it. Naruto went back to fondle her breast while the princess was lost in her little world of pleasure. He kissed her passionately and she complied letting their tongues battle each other again, Naruto was going to enjoy banging her and send her to an ultimate climax. Sadly images started popping in his mind, one of them was a certain pink haired kunoichi and another was of a certain Hyuga heiress.

Naruto went back to normal leaving his aroused side, he stopped kissing Koyuki and he has completely stopped in what he was about to do with the princess. Koyuki realized that he was no longer loving her or giving her pleasure, she became worry before looking at him why did he stop?"

"Naruto-kun what's wrong?" she was panting from the small pleasurable preview that the blond has to give her.

"Koyuki-hime I'm…..I'm sorry but I can't go through with this." He got up from her putting back his vest and trench coat.

The princess was hurt." Naruto-kun what did I did wrong? Wasn't I good enough for you?"

"No don't say that Koyuki-hime you were amazing it's just…..that I can't do this I know you want a husband but believe me I'm not the right candidate for the position."

"Naruto-kun I never expected you to be my husband I just wanted to experience some pleasure for one night, I understand if I'm a little older for you but if you don't want to be my husband that's fine with me besides I don't want to force you in doing something you don't want to do." she smile although she was hurt.

"I'm sorry Koyuki-hime…."

"You fucking pussy…" the Kyuubi said in a growl upset that his container was the most stupid human in the freaking world." she's victim number three are you trying to make a record here?"

Koyuki covered her breast as she got back to her seat forcing a smile at the blond." well how about if we continue to watch the movie the plot is getting exciting now?"

The blond compose himself as he got seated with her." sure why not?" he finally realize the bucket of pop corn net to his seat, he has completely forgotten about it when he was about to have sex with Koyuki." pop corn?"

"Yes thank you."

They eat happily as they went back to watch the movie, Koyuki although she was hurt that she was turn down by Naruto she was still very horny. Tonight she was going to relief herself, it was a good thing she has bought a sex toy to help her with her sexual need now she needed it more than ever. Naruto on te other hand he pretty much hated himself, this is the third time this situation has happened to him first Mai then Shion and now Koyuki maybe the Kyuubi was right after all. Was he trying to make some sort of record to break the hearts of women? One thing for sure he knew.

'I must be the most pathetic person in this world, maybe if I go to a dictionary and see the word pathetic my picture will be there, dear Kami what the hell is wrong with me?'

(Time skip: in an inn)

Naruto was in a hot bath enjoying the relaxation after everything that has happened today, he just watched Itcha Itcha paradise the movie and he actually like it and he turned down another beautiful woman from wanting to have sex with him. How can he be so mean and cruel, so what if they wanted to have sex with him all they were asking for is one night of happiness with him, yet he was so stupid and has to say no thank you. What the hell was wrong with him? Did he actually enjoy hurting women's feelings or maybe he was actually a coward who was afraid to lose his virginity to a woman who can never see himself together for the rest of his life. Another thing that really was bugging him is the fact that every time he's making love to a woman he thinks about the pink haired bitch, only this time he was also thinking about Hinata.

He was happy to finally realize that she likes him and maybe he was willing to give her a chance, as for Sakura that was a whole different story. However he couldn't take it anymore, he has been gone from Konoha for so long that he miss his village a lot. So many people and friends he has forged bonds and he wanted to see all of them again, now he knew what to do something that he should've done a while ago. The decision was so obvious, he has finally made his decision even if took him months to decided.

Suddenly the door to the bath open and he saw none other than Jiraiya wearing a towel, the toad sanin just smiled at him as he went next to him while the blond inhale some of the steam from the bath.

"Pervy sage I wasn't expecting to see you here."

"Well I came here because I had some business to attend to."

"Research?" was the blonds' only reply knowing his teacher too well.

Jiraiya just grinned." you know me too well Naruto anyway I'm glad that I finally ran into you, I have something important to tell you."

"As long as it's not about your research or anything perverted I'm all ears."

"It's not I just came to tell you than in a couple of days I'll be having my network meeting, it's the kind of meeting I always prepare every five years to gather all the information around the five countries."

"An important meeting with your spies, I understand but what does this has to do with me?"

"Naruto you have given me the responsibility to be the one to send the money that you have earned during your missions back to Konoha, however with my meeting coming in a few days I won't be able to send the money."

Naruto became annoyed having an idea where this was going." what are you trying to say pervy sage?"

The toad sanin sighed hoping that his student agrees." I can't bring the money to Konoha because of my meeting, so you will have to go to Konoha and give the money to Tsunade personally."

"Fine I'll do it."

"Look Naruto I understand you don't want to return to Konoha but please……what? What did you say?" Jiraiya was dumbfounded.

Naruto sighed." l said that I'll do it I have no problem with that."

Jiraiya was shocked." Na….Naruto you do realize what you're saying? If you agree then you will have to go to Konoha"

"I know pervy sage but lately……I've been thinking a lot about what you told me, wherever someone thinks of you, that's where home is a lot of people have been thinking about me for a long time then I guess it's time that I return home." he gave a big smile." pervy sage I finally made up my mind I'm going back to Konoha."

Jiraiya smiled feeling proud for his student." you made the right choice Naruto I'm very proud that you're finally coming back."

"Yeah Koyuki-hime told me that I'm the kind of person that never runs away, but I've been doing the opposite I have been running away from my problems because I didn't wanted to see Sakura again while putting the excuse of my past to justify my reason to never return to the village. I can't believe I've been acting so selfish it isn't like me for my past to get the best of me, but not anymore I will return to Konoha."

"You're doing the right thing in returning everyone misses you Tsunade is always talking about you, and your friends are talking about you too and also……" he pause thinking what Tsunade told him about Sakura.' should I tell him about Sakura's condition? I don't know he seems to hate her so much I don't think he will care.'

"Also what pervy sage?" asked the confuse blond.

"It's nothing I hope you will return to the village soon."

"I will I missed everyone a lot, but I don't know how to react if I see Sakura again." 'And hopefully I hope I don't run into her.'

Jiraiya didn't said a word he knew that nothing he said will change his students mind, the only way for him to change if he meets Sakura and decide for himself if he wants her in his life or not. But in his mind he wanted Naruto to forgive her, he hasn't realize how much pain the pink haired kunoichi because what happened five years ago.

'I hope he gives Sakura a second chance no one can live a life the way she has.'

(Time skip Location: Hokage's office Konoha fire country territory)

Tsunade was ready to go to bed, it was another day finished of doing the damn paperwork and another day without Naruto. She left her desk heading to the door until she saw on her a desk, a messenger toad appeared which surprised slug sanin a lot.

'Did Jiraiya have the information I requested for him already? That was quick.'

She took the message scroll from the small toad and opening it, she began to read the message.

Dear Granny:

Hey Granny how you are doing it's me! I'm sorry for not writing to you in a long time but I have great news. Guess what I'm coming home! That's right I'll be back in Konoha in four days.

Uzumaki Naruto

Tsunade started shedding tears while feeling upset at the same time she just heard the most wonderful news ever. News that will help her calm down living in peace. 'That brat when I get my hands on him he's going to get it for making me worried for so long.'

(Elsewhere)

A seventeen year old girl with shoulder length pink hair was watching the night sky filled with stars from the balcony of her apartment. She saw a shooting star and she made a wish, while silently a tear ran from her right cheek.

And she prayed that someday her wish will come true.
