I don't own Naruto

Chapter 8

-Training ground 13-

After Naruto left Kurenai the night before he decided to summon Heiko and work on his taijutsu a little bit while he had some clones working on making kanji using only their chakra and tagging it onto trees as quick as possible. He was getting much better, he could now write 2 kanji in about 2 seconds, not good enough, but he is getting there.

Naruto arrived at the training ground much earlier than he usually did so he decided he would meditate to try and gain more control over Kurama's chakra, he was still held up at the 2 tail limit at the moment and was determined to at least get to 3 tails by the end of the week.

While Naruto was meditating, Kurenai meandered into the training ground looking displeased. Internally she was pissed, but she had to suck it up so that she could teach her student without any distractions.

However, Naruto already picked up on her, less than pleasant mood.

'Woah, what is this? It feels as if I can sense sensei's anger. Why would she be angry? And why do I know this?' Naruto thought to himself surprised that he was able to feel the emotions coming off of his sensei.

'Oh, that's why you haven't been able to control more of my chakra...' Kurama stated. 'You have been learning to control my abilities instead of my chakra when you meditate.'

'What? You can sense emotions?' Naruto replied surprised that Kurama had such a useful ability.

'Only negative emotions like anger, hate, despair, stuff like that. It seems that when you have been meditating you have been focusing more on the abilities that you would learn rather than the chakra you would get… Or something like that, I'm not really sure. We'll have to think about that later.' Kurama replied thoughtfully. Truthfully he had a theory about why he couldn't go 3 tails and that involved his negative side, Kurama could feel a large amount of negativity built up inside the boy and it was probably acting as a blockage, keeping Naruto from going further with using Kurama's chakra.

"Good morning sensei, are you feeling alright?" Naruto asked.

'Great, I tried to hide it but it seems he already knows somethings wrong. Don't need him to get caught up in all this though.' Kurenai thought. "I'm fine Naruto, let's go get our missions and then we will train afterwards." Kurenai turned around and started walking towards the Hokage tower.

Naruto just shrugged and followed her towards the tower. If she didn't want to tell him he wouldn't force her to.

-Mission room-

The Hokage decided that he should do missions today. Not only to get out of paperwork, but also because he knew that Kurenai would be coming in and he wanted to try and save her and Asuma's relationship. The whole thing was just a big misunderstanding.

Just as Sarutobi finished that train of thought the person he was looking forward to seeing walked in with her pupil right behind her.

"Hokage-sama, we are here to take a few missions, we will be out of here quickly." Kurenai stated, not wanting to be in the presence of a Sarutobi at the moment.

"Now Kurenai-chan, I am sure that you are a little upset about what happened last night, but you do not have to be so hostile." Hiruzen replied, completely ignoring her request.

Being so blatantly ignored pissed Kurenai off even more, ever since she entered this room and saw the old Sarutobi sitting behind the mission desk she had to keep a strong leash on her emotions to not lash out at anything and everything. Though she was able to keep her emotions from showing on her face they were still radiating off of her in large waves.

'Wow, she is pissed.' Naruto thought feeling all the negativity coming off of his sensei.

"Hokage-sama, I would appreciate it if you would just get some missions together for my apprentice and I to complete." Kurenai gritted out, clenching her fists to try and keep control of her anger.

"Now Kurenai-chan, all that happened last night was just a huge misunderstanding, I'm sure if you go back and apologize everything will go back to normal." Hiruzen stated.

"APOLOGIZE!" Kurenai snapped. "You think that this is all my fault?! No! It is all that rat bastard's fault! I should have known all men are the same! Come Naruto, we are leaving." Kurenai turned around and marched out the door without looking back to see if her pupil was following her.

Naruto just blinked before he followed his sensei back to the training grounds.

-Training ground 13-

When Naruto arrived he looked for his sensei only to see her relentlessly punching a tree into oblivion.

"Uh, sensei, if something is bugging you you might want to talk to somebody about it." Naruto offered.

"What would you know!" Kurenai whirled onto her apprentice. "I thought I found the perfect guy! He was sweet, charming, loyal, and honest. He was everything I ever wanted, and he didn't want me just for my body or to say that he was able to break one of the ice queens. He was perfect. We went out and everything was so grand and joyous, I was in love. But then that bastard has the audacity to demand something of me! And not just anything, but sex! He felt that I was being stingy and wasn't 'putting out' as he so elaborately stated! All I thought about him was a lie! He was just like everyone else… Just looking for a good fuck and to break an ice queen, he never really cared about me…" Kurenai started to sob at the end of her rant falling to her knees and hugging herself.

Naruto, not knowing what else to do, walked up to his sensei and kneeled before her and wrapped her in a hug.

"It's going to be alright sensei, Asuma is missing out on an amazing person. I haven't known you for very long, but I know that you are a one of a kind woman that anyone would die for. You are professional when you need to be, but also have a caring side that speaks volumes about the kind of person you are. You want to prove that kunoichi can be just as strong as shinobi and have set yourself unto that goal and have tried everything in your power to achieve it, and in time you will achieve that goal and prove that kunoichi are just as strong as shinobi. And you will meet a guy who will appreciate you for you and not just your body." Naruto comforted. He felt the woman in his arms stop shaking and assumed she had gotten everything out of her system. "Feeling better?"

"Yes, thank you Naruto. I really needed that. Sorry for yelling at you." Kurenai replied her mascara was running from all the crying she did.

"Don't worry about it. It needed to be done, and I know you didn't mean it, you were just so emotional you couldn't control yourself. That and I kinda pushed you." Naruto replied somewhat sheepishly. "Let's get started on our training and then how about I treat you to some ramen and then I think I may have a little something special planned for tonight if you are up for it." Naruto had his prankster grin on at the end of his sentence.

"I think I would like that Naruto, thank you." Kurenai smiled up at her pupil, then blushed slightly when she noticed that she was still wrapped in his arms. "You can let go of me now Naruto."

"Oh, sorry." Naruto said as he quickly let go of his sensei and backed up. He looked back at his sensei when he heard her giggle lightly.

"So Naruto, how about we get started on training, I can teach you some genjutsu and then you can help me with my ninjutsu." Kurenai laid out the plan for the day.

"Okay, that'll work. What will you be teaching me?" Naruto asked.

"Today, I will be teaching you my favorite genjutsu. Magen: Jubaku Satsu. It binds the victims in a tree that grows behind them, you can then sneak up on your victim undetected while they are immobilized." Kurenai explained and showed the hand seals necessary for the technique.

"So the one you used on me." Naruto mused. All of a sudden 20 clones poofed into existence behind Naruto. "Oh, I can finally do that without a hand seal."

"Uh, why did you create those bunshin Naruto?" Kurenai asked.

"Oh, everything they learn is transferred back to me when they dispel so I can train much quicker this way." Naruto lectured feeling a little awkward being in the teacher role.

Kurenai resisted the urge to facepalm after that simple explanation. Though that did show how he was able to learn and master jutsu so quickly.

Half the clones performed the hand seals and directed it at the clone across from them. With Kurama's ability for genjutsu it was child play to get the jutsu down, but it was also incredibly difficult for them to send the clones into the genjutsu, also because of Kurama's ability for genjutsu.

Every time they would cast the jutsu on the clones they could feel it working and attempting to disrupt the flow of chakra of the clones, but Kurama's natural immunity to genjutsu made it difficult for them to actually disrupt the flow. But they would not be stopped until they were able to put the clones into the genjutsu, if they could put them in a genjutsu then they would be able to put just about anyone in a genjutsu, unless they weren't using their brain or were a jinchuuriki that was on good terms with their biju.

After about 30 minutes of continuously attempting to put their clone in a genjutsu one clone finally succeeded. He immediately dispelled and the other clones were able to figure out how to properly form the genjutsu. After they all successfully trapped their clone in the genjutsu they all dispelled giving all their knowledge back to Naruto.

"Okay, so for ninjutsu training… Do you know your element?" Naruto asked, not really knowing how to teach someone.

"Water." Kurenai answered immediately, having learned her element a month before her promotion to jounin.

"Great, that's my other element so I guess that might make it a bit easier." Naruto replied, a little relieved that it was an element he was, at least somewhat familiar with. "Have you started on your elemental chakra control exercises?"

"Uh, no." Kurenai replied sheepishly while looking away from her sensei at the moment.

"Don't worry, neither have I so I guess we will both be learning this at the same time. Now the first step to mastering the water element is to pull water out of the leaves of a tree. This ensures that you will almost always have a water source with you if you can complete this exercise." Naruto explained. "If you know how to create Kage Bunshins I would recommend making a few of those to help quicken the pace."

Naruto made a large batch of 50 kage bunshins, though not all were tasked with working on the water element chakra exercise. He had some work on creating seals with their chakra and tagging it on nearby objects.

Kurenai made 5 clones and got working on the water element chakra exercise. Each clone grabbed a leaf and held it between their hands, after looking over towards Naruto's clones to see how they were doing it, and focused on drawing the water out of the leaf.

After about 5 minutes Kurenai was getting frustrated that she wasn't making any progress, she looked over towards Naruto and saw that he hadn't made any progress either, though he seemed to be much more calm about it.

"You can't be so impatient about this Kurenai-sensei, elemental control is a jounin level skill and usually takes months to master, don't expect to be able to draw water out of the leaf in just 5 minutes, when I was working on my wind chakra it took me a few hours before I started to make progress, but after you make your initial progress it gets much easier." Naruto called out feeling her frustration pouring off of her.

Kurenai calmed down somewhat after hearing Naruto assurance. She went back to focusing on the leaf and the water inside it, trying to figure out how to extract the water from it.

-3 hours later-

Kurenai was not having any luck with the elemental exercise. Up until about an hour ago she was just trying to brute force the water out of the leaf. She was frequently getting frustrated, but was constantly calmed down by Naruto.

Now she was using more finesse in her technique, trying to draw it out like as if the leaf was a porous material.

For the first 40 minutes she had no luck; however, one of her clones were finally able to draw a little bit of water out of their leaf. The clone quickly dispelled transferring the knowledge of how she was able to draw the water out to the rest of the Kurenai's.

Now she was working on completely draining the water from the leaf. She was starting to feel the drain on her chakra. After working on this exercise for 3 hours it was bound to happen.

Naruto looked over towards Kurenai, just starting to get how to extract the water from leaf himself, and saw her breathing slightly harder than normal. Knowing that she was starting to exhaust her chakra he walked over to her.

"Sensei, I think we should call it a day. We have made good progress today." Naruto advised.

"But, I'm not tired yet, I can still go, and I know that you haven't even made a dent in your chakra reserves." Kurenai stated.

"You'll feel it once you dispel the rest of your clones, as will I." Naruto replied while simultaneously dispelling his clones. He held his head from the memory rush.

Kurenai also dispelled her clones and got a minor headache from the memory feedback, but it subsided quickly. She also felt twice as exhausted as she was earlier, hardly having enough chakra left to create even a single Kage Bunshin.

"Woah, I really overdid it. I haven't felt this exhausted since the test I took to become a jounin." Kurenai gasped out as she sat down, her body demanding rest.

"Yea, that's another danger about training this way, if you don't know how the backlash from dispelling your bunshins will affect you you can end up unconscious from exhaustion." Naruto said.

"Why don't you look exhausted? I know you have large chakra reserves, and inhuman stamina, even for a ninja, but you made 10 times as many clones as I did. You should feel pretty exhausted as well." Kurenai stated looking up at her pupil who didn't look any worse for wear besides him breathing slightly heavier than usual.

"Truthfully, the exercises I did drained me of all my chakra, but the seal used to house the Kyuubi will take chakra from it and then give it to me once I have exhausted my normal reserves, so it is almost impossible for me to suffer from chakra exhaustion, the only thing that gets to me with this training is the memory feedback." Naruto explained. "But, I did promise that I would take you out for ramen after training, and since we can't really continue, how about we go get that ramen."

Kurenai slowly got up and followed the blonde to his favorite ramen bar.

-Ichiraku Ramen-

Naruto and Kurenai walked side by side through the village until they reached the ramen stand. Naruto got the usual looks from the populace, but ignored them as per usual. However, Kurenai couldn't. She saw all the glares that the blonde was receiving and constantly glanced at her pupil to see how he was doing. She was surprised when he wasn't even phased. 'Just how long has he been enduring this?' Kurenai pondered.

The duo finally made it to the ramen bar and entered through the flaps surrounding the building. They both took a stool at the bar. While Kurenai looked over the menu, Naruto looked beyond the bar to see the Ichiraku family working diligently on the ramen.

"Hey Teuchi-oji, Ayame-chan." Naruto called out to the father-daughter duo.

"Naruto-kun?" Ayame turned around to see her favorite blonde at the bar with an unknown ravenette reading the menu. "Where have you been? You had us worried sick! You haven't visited our shop in the last 2 weeks!" Ayame scolded the blonde.

"Ne, sorry Ayame-chan, but I was busy training. I was working myself into the ground almost every day. I didn't have enough spare time to come visit." The blonde responded sincerely, something Kurenai didn't miss and wondered how these 2 ramen chefs were able to get Naruto to open up so easily.

"Fine Naruto-kun, but don't let it happen again without fair warning!" Ayame reprimanded. She then turned to the ravenette sitting next to the blonde who was looking at her with curiosity. "And who is this? I didn't know you were into older women Naruto-kun."

*THUD*

Naruto slammed his head on the bar table, not believing what the waitress had insinuated.

Kurenai on the other hand was blushing a crimson that matched her eyes. She couldn't believe what the brunette had said either, Naruto was almost half her age! There was no way he was interested in her, and no way that she was interested in him! Sure he was a nice guy and can be comforting when he wants to be, and he seems to have this aura around him that makes him easy to get along with if you don't hold any kind of prejudice towards him. He will also be quite handsome when he grows up… 'What am I thinking! Kurenai calm down. I am taking that break up with Asuma way too hard.' Kurenai thought.

"No Ayame-chan, this is Kurenai, my sensei." Naruto said picking his head up off the table.

"Oh, my apologies. Anyway, what would you like to order, I am assuming that you, Naruto-kun, will want the usual?" Ayame asked, receiving a nod from the blonde. "So then Kurenai-san, what would you like?"

"I think I will have a bowl of beef ramen please." Kurenai stated as she put down the menu.

"Coming right up!" Ayame turned and gave the orders to her father.

"So Naruto, why did you choose this place for ramen, we passed quite a few ramen bars on the way here." Kurenai inquired.

"This was the first place to actually feed me, they didn't care who I was, just that I needed food. They were the only people who were nice to me without any ulterior motives." Naruto replied, looking slightly downcast.

'What is with me and making him relive horrible memories' Kurenai mentally slapped herself for, once again, bringing up Naruto's past experiences.

"Sorry if that brought up anything unpleasant." Kurenai said.

"It's fine sensei. Like I said before, one should never forget their past, it leads to be the answer to many questions in the future." Naruto restated what he had told his sensei 2 days ago. "We just don't know what those questions that need to be answered are yet."

'He's too wise to be a 13 year old.' Kurenai thought as Ayame set down a bowl of ramen in front of her. She thanked the waitress and said a quick itadakimasu before starting her meal. She glanced over at Naruto and nearly choked on her food when she saw all the bowls in front of the blonde, half of which were already empty.

"Naruto, how many bowls did you order?" Kurenai asked staring at the small tower of empty bowls that grew by 3 while she asked the question.

"Well… My usual order is the Naruto special, which consists of every type of ramen on the menu." Naruto answered thoughtfully.

"How can you eat that much?" Kurnai asked incredulously.

"Extremely fast metabolism and I never let food go to waste." Naruto replied while gulping down another bowl of ramen. "I also haven't eaten here in 2 weeks so the food tastes so much better than it usually does."

Kurenai didn't ask any more questions for the rest of the meal, focusing more on trying to figure out the enigma that is Naruto. He was usually reserved and never opened up to anyone, and yet when he came to this ramen stand there was an immediate change in personality and he opened up to them immediately. She wanted to learn more about her apprentice.

Naruto finished his last bowl of ramen and thanked the ramen waitress and turned to his sensei. "So, sensei, are you still up for that surprise tonight?"

Kurenai blinked once. She had forgotten that Naruto had offered to give her a surprise, now that she remembered she was honestly curious what the blonde prankster had come up with. "Sure Naruto, we'll meet at training ground 13 around…" Kurenai trailed off not knowing when Naruto wanted to meet.

"We'll meet there around 7. We have to get some stuff before the surprise can start." Naruto finished while heading out of the stand.

When the blonde left Kurenai turned back to the employees of the stand called Ayame over.

"How may I help you Kurenai-san?" Ayame offered with a smile.

"I was just wondering why Naruto seemed to open up so easily around you. I have spent a large amount of time with him over the week and I can see that he mostly keeps to himself and never opens up to anyone, and yet we come here and the second we enter the stand he changes from being professional and serious to a more carefree and fun individual. Why did he open up so easily by just being in your presence." Kurenai wondered.

"Well, I heard him tell you that we were the first people to ever be kind to him, so that is a large part of it. We have been a part of his life for close to 5 years now, he first came here when he was 8 and was looking for some food. We saw him and were appalled by how skinny and malnourished he was. We immediately gave him a couple bowls of ramen, he ate them so quickly it was almost like he thought that if he didn't eat them fast enough they would disappear." Ayame recalled.

"After that he would always come back for more food, we were probably the only people who would feed him so we felt it our job to make sure that he grew up at least somewhat healthy. This continued on for a long time. Then there was an… event that changed him. He used to trust anyone as long as they were nice to him, but then something happened and he stopped trusting everyone. He was never really the same after that. The only reason he is so open with me and my father is because we were his pillar of support during and after the event. We are the only ones he really trusts completely in the village, he trusts those in the red light district to a lesser extent, but still more than anyone else in the village. You know, you should count yourself lucky, he usually never opens up to us when there are other customers in the stand, he must trust you somewhat to be able to open up in front of you." Ayame finished.

"Could you tell me about this event that happened to him?" Kurenai asked.

Ayame looked away when Kurenai mentioned the event. "It's not my place to say, if you want to know what happened you will have to ask Naruto-kun himself. Though he may not trust you enough to tell you at the moment." Ayame replied.

"I'll do that. I guess I have a surprise to get ready for." Kurenai stated as she too left the ramen stand.

-Training ground 13-

It was around 7, the time that Naruto and Kurenai had set to meet up to begin the surprise that Naruto had planned.

Kurenai was already there, having finished everything she wanted to get done about half an hour earlier and was bored so she decided to to take a leisurely stroll through the village towards training ground 13. She saw all the looks of praise that she was receiving for being such an extraordinary jounin and couldn't help the scowl that came to her face. She was praised for protecting these civilians, and yet her student was disregarded and hated while he did the exact same thing.

As she was reflecting on her journey to the training ground Naruto showed up. He seemed to be giddy about something and his sapphire eyes sparkled with mischief, his mouth also seemed to twitch every so often as if he was trying to suppress a mischievous smile.

"So Kurenai-sensei are you ready for the surprise?" Naruto asked, no longer able to keep himself from smiling.

"Of course, but are you going to tell me what this surprise is or do I have to wait?" Kurenai inquired.

"I guess I could tell you now, it would be easier if you knew the plan. So what I was thinking of was pranking Asuma since he broke your heart, it would be funny and very satisfying." Naruto explained.

"Oh." He now had Kurenai's full attention. She would do just about anything to get back at that man. "And what did you have in mind?"

"I was planning on replacing his wardrobe with skimpy red dresses, then when he is forced to wear it tomorrow we can take pictures and then publish them in the newspaper and immortalize his humiliation." Naruto laid out his plan for the prank. "Of course if you want to add something you can."

"How good are you at fuuinjutsu?" Kurenai questioned.

"I just finished learning how to create a resistance seal earlier this week." Naruto answered wondering where she was going with this.

"So I take it you can make explosive notes and the seals used for them?" Kurenai further questioned.

"That's child's play sensei." Naruto scoffed.

"Then can you put low powered explosive seals on all his cigarettes so that when he lights them it will blow up in his face. He probably has 12 packs of those things somewhere in his house." Kurenai asked.

"That is rather devious of your sensei. Of course I can do that." Naruto smiled. "So let's go shopping for those dresses."

-Konoha shopping district-

Naruto and Kurenai walked to shopping district in Konoha looking for a store that sold red dresses that would fit Asuma. They had been walking for a few minutes before they came upon a store that had what they were looking for.

"Okay, found it." Naruto said as he was obscured by a cloud of smoke. When the smoke cleared a blonde haired woman was standing in the space Naruto occupied earlier. She had twin blonde pigtails that fell down to her shapely behind. She had a d-cup bust and was a wearing black crop top that showed off her midriff. She also had black biker shorts that showed off her long shapely legs. "Let's go shopping!" A distinct female voice exclaimed as she dragged Kurenai inside the store.

"Naruto, what are you doing. They have sensors to detect ninja techniques!" Kurenai hissed out.

"They won't be able to detect this technique, it's… special." Naruto replied. "And I am Naruko when I am a girl."

"Naruko. Really, you only changed one letter, that's not putting much into a disguise." Kurenai deadpanned.

"It works. People look for abstract and incredibly ridiculous disguises rather than the subtle, hardly changed ones." Naruto replied without looking back leading Kurenai towards the dresses.

They made it to the aisle with the red dresses and started looking through them to find some that would fit Asuma. Kurenai also picked out a few for herself and planned to get something else from elsewhere in the store.

Deciding to have some fun with her student she went to the dressing room and dressed into one of the red dresses she was looking at. She came out of the dressing room and saw Naruto still searching for a dress that would fit Asuma.

"Naruko, can I get your opinion on this dress?" Kurenai asked sweetly.

"Sure sensei." Naruto said as finished looking at a dress that was too small for Asuma by a few sizes, it seems that finding a dress that would fit him would be much harder than he originally thought.

Naruto turned around and froze when he saw his sensei.

She was dressed in a sleeveless red dress that stopped about mid thigh showing off her perfect legs. The neckline was a deep V showing of a generous amount of cleavage of her D-cup breasts. The make-up she usually wears seemed to enhance the dress and the fact that it matched her eyes just made it look that much better. There was only one word that Naruto could think of to describe her.

"Divine."

Naruto quickly turned around when he said that, blushing from embarrassment. If he had continued to look at his sensei he would have seen a light blush dusting her cheeks as well.

"I am glad you approve Naruko, I think I'll keep this one." Kurenai replied after getting her blush under control.

"Sensei, we should really focus on what we came here to do." Naruto replied while looking through another rack of dresses that looked larger than the last one he looked at.

Kurenai walked up behind her student and wrapped her arms around his frame, causing Naruto to stiffen, and leaned her head against his shoulder. "You're no fun Naruto, don't be so serious. Loosen up a bit and have some fun with me, how about it Na-ru-to-kun." Kurenai purred into his ear sending shivers down his spine.

"I had to get a sensei that enjoys teasing..." Naruto muttered.

Kurenai just laughed as she went back to the dressing room and got dressed in her normal attire. She was definitely buying that dress, if she could get Naruto to blush like that with it. She was going to have so much fun teasing him.

-Sarutobi compound-

After Kurenai had finished teasing Naruto they were able to find a dress in Asuma's size, though there was only one, they decided to get it and move on with the prank. They were currently inside the Sarutobi compound, having snuck in through a hole in the eastern wall of the compound. Now they were making their way to Asuma's house.

It was rather late and Kurenai knew that Asuma would be asleep. She had learned his sleeping pattern when they were in a relationship.

They soon made it to his house and silently crept up the wall to one of the windows. Naruto silently slid the window open and snuck into the room followed closely by Kurenai. They crept through the hallways and eventually came to a door that was partially open.

The quickly snuck up to the door and nudged it open enough for them to fit through. When they entered they turned to see Asuma in bed, with another women.

Naruto immediately felt Kurenai's emotions take a turn for the worst, so reacting instinctually he quickly turned around and hugged her. Kurenai immediately reciprocated the hug and silently sobbed into Naruto's shoulder. They stayed that way for a few minutes, Kurenai silently sobbing while Naruto rubbed her back in a comforting way.

When she finally stopped crying Kurenai looked up to Naruto and whispered in a voice full of despair. "He moved on. He moved on so fast, like I never meant anything."

"It's okay sensei. That just means he is a shallow man and you could do so much better than him." Naruto offered, trying to keep her calm. "Let's hurry up and do what we came to, and get out of here."

Kurenai nodded and quickly made her way to Asuma's closet. She took all of his normal ninja gear and sealed it into a scroll leaving the closet bare. Naruto came up behind her with a scroll of his own and unsealed the contents to show the red dress that they had bought and hung it up in his closet.

They quickly snuck back out of the bedroom and made their way to his kitchen. Kurenai said that he liked to keep his cigarettes in a drawer in the kitchen.

When they made it to the kitchen they started to quietly go through each of the drawers looking for the cigarettes. Kurenai finally found them in the drawer closest to the fridge. She called Naruto over and watched as he put a seal on each of the cigarettes before it faded, becoming invisible to the naked eye.

When they were done they quickly exited the house the same way the entered and left the compound.

When they had made it a decent distance away from the compound they stopped in a park and sat down on a bench.

"Naruto, I want to thank you for comforting me in there. If you hadn't, I don't know what I would have done. I may have even killed him. It's just that he moved on so quickly after our break up that it was like I didn't mean anything to him. Like I was just an object to him. If we continued with our relationship and we got married, what would I have been? Just some trophy wife that he would flaunt to the village? I can't believe I dated such a vile man!" Kurenai exclaimed, tears running down her face, ruining her mascara even more.

Naruto, once again, gathered Kurenai in a hug to try and soothe her. "It's okay Kurenai. You are no longer bound to him, you can pursue anyone you want now. There are plenty of people out there that will treat you right. It will just take some time for you to find the right one, but he is out there, I promise you that."

"You're such a good guy Naruto. If only more people were like you." Kurenai said as she hugged the blonde back, truly grateful for his comfort.

"You have a camera right sensei?" Naruto inquired.

"Of course. Why do you ask?" Kurenai wondered as she looked at the blonde before she caught on to his meaning. "Oh! This is going to be great."

"Yes it will sensei, I think his humiliation is just beginning." Naruto said with a mischievous grin.

Another one down. I am happy to listen to anyone's suggestions about what they may want, but know that I may not use your suggestions, I already have a plan of what I am going to do and though it does give me a good amount of leeway, some suggestions just wont do. Hope you guys had a nice Valentines Day, hopefully most of you weren't at the computer drowning your sorrows in fluffy fanfiction hoping that you could find love. Have a nice rest of the week and I will see you next month.
