Naruto woke up slowly. He opened his eyes and realised why he didn't recognise the ceiling 'Where am I? All I can remember is running away from Raven' It was then that he felt the small weight on his chest. Looking down he could only see a mop of purple hair 'Purple hair? Wait...Raven!' Widening his eyes, he suddenly froze. He was afraid of moving in case she would wake up and hit him. Making sure of something, he lifted the sheet up and sighed in relief as they were still in clothes.

Raven slowly moved, snuggled her head into her comfortable 'pillow' and wrapped her arms around its neck. She then tensed 'Pillow's don't have necks. And wasn't I chasing Naruto?' Slowly, she opened her eyes and lifted her heard. Looking up she saw that she was lying on Naruto and was now staring into his eyes. Both blushed a bright red but neither moved nor looked away.

"Uh...have a nice sleep?" asked Naruto. Raven's blush grew as she put her head back onto his chest, just to avoid looking at him "I'll take that as a yes" he murmured.

"D-Do you remember what happened yesterday?" she stuttered in embarrassment.

"No, just running away from you and then...nothing. The others will probably know," he said. Raven nodded and then quickly got off the bed with Naruto following "Uh, that was weird"

"What was?" she asked.

"Your cloak" he said "It was white for a moment before turning purple"

Raven was now confused "White?" she repeated "But that only happens when I have complete control over my powers"

Naruto hummed before walked to her and lightly touching the cloak. Suddenly, it turned white which shocked the both of them. He moved his hand away and it turned back to normal "I can change your cloak?" he questioned.

Raven furrowed her brows and then gently touched Naruto's arm. As her cloak changed, she thought for a moment before widening her eyes "I have control over my powers!" she shouted as she let go "Now I don't"

"So I can give you control?" he asked, making Raven nod. Sighing, Naruto said "We'll talk more about this later, for now you go get something to eat and I'll talk to the others" Raven again nodded before disappearing and waking up outside her mind. Naruto sighed as he went to the kitchen and found Gaara eating "Can I ask you something?"

The red head looked at Naruto "Is this about last night?" Naruto nodded "All I know is that you left running away from Raven. When you both came back, you were somehow a six year old. Kyuubi explained that the page from the spell book was the cause but no one knows how. Raven later changed as well and the both of you became friends again. Seeing how you are asking, I'm guessing that neither of you remember"

Naruto shook his head "It's just a blur. What about the Emotions, did they change?"

"No" answered Gaara as he shook his head "For some reason they weren't affected. Although a minute after you and Raven ran out of the house, Love acted strangely and began to sigh a lot. Like she was having a really good dream," he said, trying to give Naruto the obvious hint.

"I wonder why," said Naruto as he rubbed the back of his head in confusion before shrugging "It's probably nothing" he said as he walked away.

Gaara sighed as he shook his head "No matter how much stronger or smarter you get, Naruto, you will always be oblivious"


(Time skip- 1 year)

In the past year, everyone has improved. Naruto, Gaara, and even Raven were now low Kage level in skill. Naruto was now a seal master as well, just as good as Jiraiya. Raven learned how to heal with her powers and how to control them without her emotions getting in the way. Naruto has now absorbed three tails worth of power from Kurama and Gaara has fully merged with Shukaku, who is now just a regular Sand Clone. But because of the merging, Gaara now has a single tail and Tanuki ears and Naruto has three tails and fox ears. It took Raven and some of her emotions a month not to smother him whilst shouting "CUTE!" Although that never stopped Happy, Love, and Timid.

Naruto and Raven experimented with their discovery of Raven's white cloak. As long as they had physical contact, Raven will have complete control. This also helped her sensing ability and they have managed to destroy a few hundred sprites, which also destroyed part of Trigon's control over his daughter. Both also discovered that they can use each other's abilities and even combined them.


(Time Skip- Another year, present time)

Now we find Naruto with eight tails, training with his new ability. He recently discovered that he has unlocked his Uzumaki bloodline, the Chakra Chains. So far he can only use one in each hand but he was progressing very quickly. Over the past year he has even trained in his fathers jutsu, the Hirashin, and has now mastered it, along with finishing the Rasengan by adding wind chakra to it.

It has been a month since Raven has left Azareth and was now in Jump City. Apparently, when she wondered around the city she somehow got caught in an alien invasion and was now apart of a team called the Teen Titan's. She has kept both Naruto and Gaara a secret because it would be strange if you just admit to having voices in your head. Both Naruto and Raven have even realised that they have feelings for each other but are not sure of the other having feelings for them. So at times it is awkward, especially when Kurama, Shukaku, and sometimes Gaara teased them, but it doesn't last long.

Naruto panted as he finished practicing in Chakra Chains. He smiled, knowing he was getting closer to finishing but he still had a long way to go. As he was about to go back to the house, he sensed Raven entering her mind again and was now next to him "So how was your day?"

"Annoying" she replied, "BeastBoy played a dumb prank that backfired on him. He was aiming for Cyborg but hit StarFire instead. She wouldn't talk to him the entire day and then the city was attacked by two guys called Thunder and Lightning"

"Thunder and Lighting?" he repeated.

Raven nodded "We fought them but they left. Then this giant monster made of fire appeared and we couldn't stop it. But then Thunder and Lightning used their powers to stop it and we won in the end"

"That's good," said Naruto with a smile, making Raven's cheeks red.

"Were you working on your chains?" she asked, looking around the field. When Naruto told everyone about his Chakra Chains, Love made a comment that left Naruto and Raven blushing for a whole week.

Nodding, he answered "Yeah. I'm close to finishing seeing how I can use two chains easily now" He then looked away with a slight blush.

'Is he nervous or something?' wondered Raven "Are you alright?" she asked.

"Y-Yeah!" he said loudly before coughing into his hand "Uh...I was wondering if..."

"What?"

"Would you l-like to go for a walk?" he asked after taking a deep breath, not noticing Raven's wide eyes or heavy blush.

About a thousand thoughts went through Raven's head all in less than a second 'Is he asking me on a date? No, he doesn't like me like that, or does he like me? Should I?' After a few seconds, Naruto was about to apologise for asking and walk away until he head Raven softly say "Y-Yes" Naruto smiled as they both began walking in a random direction that wasn't towards the house. They pointed out random things as they walked, not noticing that they somehow ended up holding hands. Eventually they came across another flower field that just so happened to have a sunset.

They went to the only tree that was in the middle of the field and sat down, not noticing how close they were being. They sat there for what seemed like hours and when they decided to go back to the house, Raven had her head on his shoulder, and Naruto had his arm wrapped around her waist. They reached the door and reluctantly separated "Uh...we should...do that again...sometime" said Naruto with embarrassment.

"It was nice" spoke Raven quietly. They both stood there, not knowing what to do. Raven then sighed before walking to the door, but tripped and was about to fall if it wasn't for Naruto catching her and holding her in his arms "T-Thank you..." she trailed off when she looked at him, and noticed how close they were.

Naruto didn't say anything as he too stared. Without realising, they both leaned forward and their eyes slowly started to close. Just as their lips were barely touching, the door next to them opened and they both jumped back with massive blushes on their face. Looking at the door, they both saw it was Gaara who was rubbing his eyes after waking up "Are you both coming in or not?" he asked in slight annoyance. He really enjoys sleeping and it turns out he changes from being a light sleeper to a heavy sleeper at random.

Nodding, Naruto and Raven went inside, not looking at each other the entire time. Everyone spent the rest of the day just talking and training before Raven left again. As Naruto headed to his room, he saw Gaara open his door "Did you enjoy your date earlier?" he asked in a teasing manner and a smirk. Naruto was about to shout that it wasn't a date but then thought about it. When he and Raven were about to kiss, she never pushed him away or anything. With a lot on his mind, Naruto didn't answer Gaara's question and walked in his room "I think he's finally noticed," said Gaara to Kurama who walked around the corner.

"Yes, and it only took him three years" commented Kurama "They do deserve each other"


(Time Skip- Two days)

Nothing much happened the past couple days. Naruto continued to train for his ninth tail and chains but other than that, nothing. Right now he was sitting on a tree, thinking of Raven. She has been a constant thought ever since they nearly kissed and he was now trying to think of how to confess his feelings. As he was thinking, he suddenly felt a portal open in another part of Raven's mind "That's not Raven" he muttered before using the Hirashin to appear next to Gaara "Let's go" he said as Gaara took them both on the sand and flew towards where the portal opened.

When they landed, they saw two new people they have never seen before so they stayed hidden from their sight. One was tall and seemed like he was partly made of metal and the other was smaller and his skin was green.
