Hey everyone, glad the previous chapter was well liked, thanks for that. Anyway, without any further ado, let's continue with the story.

1: Will Satsuki and Naruto be fuck buddies?

A: No. However, they could get into a relationship but it just depends since, like my other stories, I have mentioned that I won't plan anything out and just let the words flow and see how it goes.

2: Do I find that Naruto can also be in a relationship with the current Hinata?

A: In fanfiction everyone can be paired with anyone. So yes, there can be, like Satsuki, a relationship between the two, however, Hinata's personality is quite different from canon as she 1. Was friends with the hokage's daughters, and 2. Didn't get treated like crap from her family due to the hokage influence.

3: Will Kushina make an appearance?

A: Along with the rest of the Uzumaki-Namikaze family yes.

Lion: 1

Gorilla: 1

Reptiles (crocodiles/lizards): 2

Wolf: 5

Falcon: 6

Tool: 1

Dragon: 2

Frog: 1

Mouse/rat: 1

Eagle: 1

Spider: 2

Oozaru: 1

Oh well, anyway, onto the story… I also realised that I hadn't put this up for a good while… So yeah… Sorry about that…

"Speaking"

"Thinking"

"Summons/ bijuu speaking"

"Summons/ bijuu thinking"

"Fire release: Great fireball technique"

"I take it back kami. I hate you." Thought Naruto with a twitch as he walked down the street with an overly happy Satsuki dragging him along by the arm, much to the amusement of the civilians watching.

Since waking up a few hours ago, Naruto had been subjected to both a glomp and a rape attempt, via Anko who had appeared to pick Satsuki up for training. However, considering that he himself hadn't seen Satsuki for a while, with Satsuki also not being able to see him, Anko decided to forgo the training for today so that Satsuki could spend the day with him.

And by "spending the day" Anko meant the one that involved a bed and touching.

Thankfully however, it seemed that Satsuki did mature a bit as she declined Anko's offer of a privacy seal she had with her.

Why Anko would carry a privacy seal with her, Naruto didn't, or rather, wouldn't, like to know. Yep, he was happy being clueless thank you very much.

But because of that situation, Naruto now found himself within another, that being Satsuki actually wanted to purchase the apartment rather than rent it further, something Naruto asked her about why she wanted to purchase it now.

She apparently managed to get his mission stat sheet and his bank account details while he was having a shower, which he had replaced via clones as he slept.

He really was thankful that his clones had done all the cleaning rather than him. The things his clones saw… Oh the shivers that rang along his spine…

Shaking his head, Naruto came upon the sight of another somewhat tall building before releasing a small tear from his eyes.

The small tear was for all the fortune he was going to lose due to Satsuki… Why him kami! Why!

Chuckling slightly from his last thought, Naruto came upon the sight of a somewhat round man who looked like he was in his early thirties, something that Naruto found rather stereotypical as he began to notice that there was a lot of the same person, not in looks, but in just about everything else like social status, jobs and even daily life.

And that weirded him out slightly as he never realised how… Bland… Some people within konoha were.

"Naruto! Are you sure it's this way?" Asked Satsuki, now standing in front of the slightly startled Naruto as he finally got his bearings back before sending the slightly shorter Satsuki a small narrowed look.

"Weren't you the one dragging me around Satsuki?" Asked Naruto with a small smirk building onto his face as Satsuki gave him a small glare and huff before walking ahead once more, causing the black haired teen to give a small whisper like chuckle.

That was of course before he noticed something.

That something had to be Satsuki decked out in something a chunin would wear, which was basically similar to his normal shinobi garb, only in the right colours.

Catching up to Satsuki, Naruto pulled himself besides her before catching her eyes with his own.

"Hey Satsuki, why are you wearing your shinobi garb? Wasn't the reason you forced me to wear my civilian garb so that we could hang out?" Asked Naruto curiously, getting a small cheeky grin from Satsuki as she pointed towards him.

Following her finger, Naruto glanced down to his own clothing before noticing something.

His cloths… Had a small flicker coming off it…

Widening his eyes, Naruto raised his fingers into the "kai" or "release" handsign before surging his chakra through his body.

"Genjutsu!" Thought Naruto in a small panic before shattering the illusion of what he thought was his civilian garb, being a simple black tee-shirt with an orange flame within the centre of the chest, along with long black baggy pants and his regular black shinobi sandals.

However, as soon as the genjutsu got destroyed, Naruto came upon the sight of his shinobi garb, somehow he also had his pouches attached to his legs and waist.

Seriously, how did he manage that and not realise he was in a genjutsu?

Turning his head slightly, Naruto caught sight of Satsuki's devilish grin.

"H-how?" Asked Naruto, his voice slightly stuttering as he was surprised Satsuki managed to pull a genjutsu off on him without his notice.

Fair enough it wasn't directly affecting him, but it was still affecting his surroundings and he didn't notice…

Well… Add genjutsu practice to the list of things to learn.

"Not telling." Was Satsuki's reply before gripping Naruto's hand within her own, her devilish grin still on display for the whole world to see…

And Naruto was now slightly shaking in fear from his friend. Just what in the blue hell did Anko do to his childhood friend dammit!

It was then that Naruto realised something as his mind continued to drift during his time with Satsuki.

Both he and Satsuki were now standing in what appeared to be a training ground that was devoid of any life aside from the tree's surrounding it.

Moving his head around, Naruto almost didn't notice the small spark of killing intent appearing towards his left.

Turning his head slightly, Naruto widened his eyes in shock as he saw Satsuki, now baring a kunai in a reverse grip, swiping her hand at his chest and arm.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Naruto spun into a crouch, sending his left leg out into a spinning sweep in an attempt to swipe Satsuki's feet from underneath her.

However, it seemed Naruto hadn't given Satsuki any credit as she simply hopped slightly into the air and threw the kunai within her hand towards Naruto's form.

Still in a mid-swing, Naruto used his hands that were helping him swing via the crouching position he was in to push himself into the air, allowing the kunai to make a soft "thump" into the soft grass below.

It was because he focused on the kunai that he didn't see the mid-air kick landing straight across his face, sending him sailing through the ground before finally catching himself in a somewhat crouched position.

Gritting his teeth, Naruto narrowed his eyes.

"Satsuki! What are you-" "Really Naru? Did you forget how our relationship worked?" Asked Satsuki, a grinning face of pure evil still residing upon her face as her coal black eyes gazed into his own red ones.

It was at this moment that Naruto remembered something vital… Satsuki and his childhood revolved around one thing aside from being the best of friends… And that was being the better shinobi.

Even when they were kids and all, the two of them promised that they would be the strongest shinobi in the universe, making sure to always match each other as they grew up, even when they were playing simple games like chase or even hide and seek, ninja variant.

However, as the years went, it became more and more difficult for Naruto to keep up with Satsuki, who seemed to have an unnatural ability in anything related to shinobi, including training.

This was one of the reasons for his determination within his own training. Something that seemed to fade as she had been taken as an apprentice a month before the final genin graduation test his class had held.

But it was then that Naruto felt something warm within his chest as he stared down his current opponent.

What was he feeling exactly? He couldn't have been happy that he was going through what he did as a child with Satsuki right?

But if that was true… Why was he getting so excited? Why was his blood surging and pumping? Why was his muscles compacting in anticipation?

He knew the answer, but didn't bother to say it as Naruto dashed forwards, his eyes set on his childhood friend who copied his own movement, sending the two charging towards each other at breakneck speeds.

Narrowing his eyes, Naruto jumped slightly into a flying kick, sending him sailing over Satsuki as she did a simple duck before twisting around and sending a kick to the still air-born Naruto, causing the black haired teen to quickly maneuverer himself from his position allowing him to use the kick Satsuki sent towards him as a form of spring board to push himself off of.

Sending himself into the air once more, Naruto quickly began to go through handsigns before raising a single hand towards his mouth.

"Water release: Water bullet!"

Shouted Naruto as her shot a continuous stream of water straight towards Satsuki, who simply widened her eyes in slight shock before slamming her hands onto the ground.

"Earth release: Earth shore return!"

Satsuki shouted in return, her jutsu in turn creating an earth-like wall to cover her frame.

Seeing as how his water attack hadn't worked, Naruto grit his teeth slightly before landing into a crouch before pushing himself of the ground with a chakra enhanced leap, sending him straight towards the earth wall.

Whipping his wrists, Naruto watched as his wrist mounted wires sent themselves around the earth wall before swinging themselves all the way around a few times before finally sticking to each other as they completed their rotation.

Giving a grin, Naruto couldn't help but give a cheeky laugh at the sound of a small "ouch" appearing on the other side of the wall.

"Do you surrender Satsuki-chan?" Asked Naruto in a cheeky tone, only to receive silence in return…

Something wasn't right…

And Naruto knew what it was when he felt the ground beneath him slightly begin to shake before a set of hands shot out of the ground, attempting to drag him into the earth.

Jumping just before the hands could grasp his ankles, Naruto attempted to gain some distance from where Satsuki was now emerging from, however, to his slightly shock, he realised that he couldn't escape… Why couldn't he gain some distance away from Satsuki?

Naruto could only widen his eyes as he trailed his two red orbs towards his wrists where the wires were still connected to the slab of earth still standing.

"Shit" Thought Naruto with irritation as he began to fall towards the ground once more, however, his fall was stopped pre-maturely as he felt something collide with his body, sending it back into the air, only to then feel a hand grasped around the back of his neck along with a pair of lips breathing besides his right ear.

"I win… Don't I Na~ru~to~kun?" Asked Satsuki with a grin planted onto her face as the two of them were plummeting towards the ground with Naruto still restricted by his wires.

Giving a small glare towards his wires, Naruto began to surge his wires with un-refined wind chakra, causing the wires to rip and cut themselves apart, allowing Naruto his freedom from his own weapons.

Seeing as his hands were now free from their binds, Naruto quickly threw his left wrist out, sending another stream of wires from his wrist towards a tree…

Or he would have had Satsuki had not gripped his left arm and placed it behind his back with a small chuckle.

"You still haven't given up Naru" Mumbled Satsuki, not minding the still rapidly approaching ground.

Clenching his teeth at the pain his arm was going through, Naruto rammed his head backwards, sending the back of his skull crashing into Satsuki's nose, causing the woman riding him to snap her own head backwards in a jerking fashion.

Seeing as how he now had some more leeway, Naruto quickly spun himself before throwing his right wrist out towards the tree's, causing the two plummeting shinobi to be sent into a swing as the wire wrapped around the tree with little to no effort on its part.

Swinging from the tree, Naruto could feel a sense of fore brooding before widening his eyes as he physically "felt" Satsuki surge her chakra.

"Lightning release: Lightning rod!"

Shouted Satsuki, sending a torrent of electricity into Naruto's body, causing him to lose control of his chakra and wire, sending the two shinobi into the ground with Naruto in a dead drop and Satsuki in a small distance skid.

Gritting his teeth, Naruto couldn't hold back the random spazzam his body was going through as the lightning technique slowly began to surge out of his body. Tilting his head as much as possible, Naruto came upon the sight of Satsuki now slowly walking towards him with her devilish grin on her face.

Oh just the image of the face made him a tad irritated as he slowly felt his body begin to heal itself…

"She won't let me live this down if I lose again… Gotta get her talking for my body to recover enough to move again…" Thought Naruto with a slightly narrowed gaze as multiple ideas rang through his head.

Eventually, the only thing Naruto could think of wasn't all that great.

Gritting his teeth, Naruto began to push against the ground beneath him in a desperate attempt to push himself up to continue his battle against his friend. However, with the lightning nature still trailing within his body causing random surges of pain, there wasn't much he could do.

"… Unless…" Thought Naruto with a grin before using his own chakra to pour into the ground, which in doing so also brought the lightning infused chakra out of his system and into the ground in a grounding type of idea.

Luckily it seemed to work as Naruto felt his body become more responsive…

But it seemed that it was a bit late as he felt Satsuki place her sandal on his back before pushing it down, forcing him onto the ground once more.

Tilting his head slightly, Naruto caught sight of the smiling face of Satsuki once more before tilting his head back down towards the ground.

Grinning slightly, Satsuki couldn't help but mentally scream in joy at beating her long-time friend once more. Sure when they were kids she always won, but after the battle between the two even she had to admit that it was a close match. Which made the win feel all the better.

Keeping her foot in place, Satsuki couldn't stop the slightly arrogant tone from appearing within her voice, much to the downed Naruto's irritation.

"Do you surrender Naruto-kun? I'll admit you have gotten a bit better… Maybe in a few years you could match me… If I stopped training all together you kno-" However, before Satsuki could finish her sentence, the body beneath her feet disappeared in a burst of wind, causing the black haired woman to lose her balance slightly before gaining a painful kick to the ribs, sending her against the trees that surrounded her.

Feeling her back smash against the hard oak of the tree, Satsuki quickly bit her lip to stop the small scream of pain that attempted to leave her throat before falling down to the ground on her side.

Quickly trying to stand up, Satsuki stopped any movement as soon as she felt a cold metal like object placed underneath her throat.

Sending her view up slightly, the sight of Naruto giving a small grin began to photograph itself into her memory before a small surge of anger flown through her body before disappearing and replacing itself with irritation.

"I win." Muttered Naruto softly before removing the kunai from his friends through and helping her up, making sure to not irritate the girl further as he slowly began to walk with Satsuki pouting along the way.

It wasn't long before Naruto found himself back towards his apartment with Satsuki now walking ahead of him in a slight form of irritation as she simply entered the apartment and headed for the shower, much to Naruto's internal laughter.

Mentally calming himself down from his laughter, Naruto moved towards the couch before plopping himself down with a grin.

After all, why wouldn't he be grinning? He had just beaten someone he had been fighting against for YEARS! And best of all, he got to enjoy-

"I win Naruto-kun…"

Suddenly Naruto's eyes widened themselves as he sat on his couch. Did he just hear someone whispering that they won in something? But… If he did then who did it?

"I win Naruto-kun… Now wake up already…"

Wake up already? What was the voice on about? Gritting his teeth, Naruto looked around the room once more before a small crack appeared within the walls before it slowly began to disintegrate, revelling pure darkness beneath the oak like wood.

"What the….. Genjutsu!" Shouted Naruto mentally as he clamped his canine tooth down onto his lip, causing blood to spill itself down his lips as Naruto's surroundings began to break apart, leaving the black haired teen in pure darkness with only a pair of red shining lights in a far distance.

"What in the world?" Thought Naruto with a narrowed gaze before shutting his eyes all together as a massive blast of pure light rang through the darkness…

….

….

….

"You can open your eyes now Naruto-kun."

Snapping his eyes open slightly in a blinking fashion, Naruto came upon the clear sight of Satsuki's grinning face before moving his eyes around, identifying them to be within their apartment.

"What happened?" Asked Naruto curiously, only getting a small giggle from Satsuki as she stroked Naruto's black hair gently.

"I won Naruto-kun." Replied Satsuki, her voice bare of anything other than a small amount of pride as she continued to stroke Naruto's hair.

Naruto could only pout at the reply slightly before sitting himself up, finally realising that he was laying down on top of Satsuki's lap within their bedroom before stretching his neck and back.

"Oh well… So when did you get me within the genjutsu? Hell, how did you get me without me noticing?" Asked Naruto in a bland tone, slightly sore over his lose via genjutsu.

Which now definitely placed itself on Naruto's "to train" list, which was currently occupied by his fuinjutsu theory & application along with team formations and the like.

Hearing a chuckle, Naruto returned his complete attention back towards Satsuki, who, simply gave a small smile and wink.

"I'm not telling." Was Satsuki's reply, causing the black haired teen to pout slightly before letting his head fall back on to Satsuki's lap, causing the black haired girl to widen her eyes in embarrassment.

"W-w-w-wh-what are you doing Naru!" Shouted Satsuki in an embarrassed tone, causing the teen on her lap to send a mock blink in return.

"You were fine with me waking up on your lap, but not with me being awake and laying down on your lap?" Asked Naruto in curiosity, only to gain a small bonk on the head from Satsuki as her face developed a full red blush, much to the teens internal amusement.

"Y-y-yea! So what!" Shouted Satsuki in return, only getting a small chuckle from Naruto as he simply closed his eyes.

"Oh well… You did offer you know…" Muttered Naruto in reply, causing the teen he was laying on to develop a newer shade of bright red before passing out with a sigh.

Giving a small grin, Naruto opened his eyes before quietly getting off the bed, making sure to place Satsuki under the blankets before walking out towards the front door.

However, just as he was about to reach out for the door, the sound of fist hitting wood range through the apartment, waking up the now sleeping Satsuki who jumped out of the bed and quickly appeared next to Naruto, who was now slightly irritated from the fact that he had just placed Satsuki under the bed covers.

Hearing the knocking continue, Naruto shook his head before gripping onto the door handle.

"Yes, yes. One second… Yamato-sensei?" Asked Naruto in a curious tone as he stared towards his old sensei, who was simply standing there with a small piece of paper.

Giving a smile, Yamato gave his former student a small wave.

"Hello Naruto… Mind if I come in?"

Done. Hope you all don't get too bored with the more balanced type of fanfiction this might be, later down the track it will be more action than other things, but there will be a mixture between the two. Anyway, hope you enjoyed it and I will see you all at a later date.
