I do not own naruto anime, manga or other released formats.

The next deployment came, and it was no surprise it was a camp in fire country. They had set a perimeter of camps to protect Konoha, the invasion was only a couple of days away. Danzo being the man that he was simply told the Hokage that it could all be misinformation on the enemies part. Jiriaya's spy network said that it was accurate. Mikoto, Naruto, Kushina, Minato and Fugaku would all serve in the main camp. They were the last line of defense. Kushina had taken to train very hard after she was no longer a jinjuriki. Fugaku looked like he constantly had something sour in his mouth. Minato took to seeing Naruto practice his most destructive techniques. He even saw him practice his biju mode, and sage mode. The attack that really impressed him was the beast tail ball attack. Being a genius that he was he had finished the seals for the flight of the thunder god technique. He was working to think of a way to manipulate chakra into a weapon. When he saw his friend use that attack it came to him the form. He spent hours without any sleep. It was incredible he finally finished it at the time where their deployment orders arrived. A big ball of constantly spinning chakra. What to call it he did not want to steal the name from his friends technique, and naming it after him. Well Naruto was famous enough already no need to make him more of a target. Rasengan, that would be a nice name. Now to try and find a way to use it with elemental chakra how would it change.

Kushina was not happy, nope she was not happy at all. Minato was spending trying to invent new jutsu and techniques rather than with her. The fact that Mikoto was smiling more and more did not make it easy for her to hide the fact, that living with Naruto in their new home was agreeing with her. He had wanted to wait till he had at least proposed to her, but she would have none of that. Time apart was time wasted, and she did not want to waste any more time apart. She told Kushina that and at that moment looked at her eyes. There was this twinkle in her eyes that made her realized that she was not wasting time. "So how was he?" Kushina asked her friend. She did the only thing appropriate blushed and punched her playfully on her shoulder. "Hey, I don't ask you about what you do with Minato. You keep what happens in the bedroom private, so let me do the same!" Mikoto blushing more and more as she remembered what did happen in that bedroom. Thank god for the Uzumaki Sealing Theories that Kushina had taught her. The silence seal was a godsend. Her neighbors would have been complaining non-stop otherwise. She had to place one on their tents when she got to the camp.

"So really come on how was he?" Mikoto knew that Kushina would not stop asking until she got an answer. "Magnificent doesn't describe it. I could hardly move my legs the first time, and as it happens more and more. I know that I can't live without him. I heard that love making can be get dull after a while. But he keeps getting better and better. If he gets any better I will not want to let him leave the bed." Kushina was now blushing. "What I asking how is he living with you. I do respect some of your privacy you know!" Mikoto could hardly believe she misunderstood the question. With such a wonderful lover how could she not remember that first.

Naruto was trying to train, trying being the word. He was having a hard time will the sneezing fit that just started out of nowhere. His ears felt like they would catch fire. One of his summons joked about it, and told him that maybe someone was talking about him.

Fugaku had developed the very nasty habit Jiriaya was so well known for. But the difference he was not peeping at the hot spring. No he was looking at the bedroom of Mikoto and the pest. The things they had done, and so often it should be a crime. He should be the only one to do that with Mikoto. His plan was coming together at long last. He managed to manipulate the council to be placed in the same camp as the pest. The time was perfect he had copied a few Iwa Jutsu in his last deployment. Once he was on the field he would use one on the pest, it would look like the enemy killed him. This was going to be perfect. If you want anything done well you had better do it yourself. This was the lesson he learned after his last failure.

As the group headed towards the camp the only question that remained who would be in charge of the camp. Minato, Kushina and Mikoto believed it would be Naruto. He was well educated, prepared, and was a sage. Fugaku of course was dreaming on what humiliating tasks he would assign the pest when he took command of the camp. Who else would be in charge of the camp except an Uchiha Elite like he was. There was no one else worthy in his mind. We can dream many things and hope for even more. But not all dreams come true, as he saw a contingent of anbu welcome the group they all stood in attention as the lead called out. "It will be an honor to serve under you Captain Uchiha." Fugaku of course believed he was talking to him. "I sure under my leadership we will succeed." The anbu was looking at him like he had gone mental. "Sir, I am sure your division will be successful, but we were instructed to welcome Captain Naruto Uchiha." This made Fugaku hate Naruto even more even is he once believed that was not possible. A shout from a jounin was heard, "Yosh, under the youthful leadership of the wolf sage. We will show the enemy the power of our youthful will of fire!" Naruto simply asked the lead anbu who was the nutcase. He simply told him that it was no other than the newly promoted Might Guy. They both looked at each other and he simply asked, "This is going to be a long deployment with him here." The anbu simply replied, "Ain't that the truth."

His deployment had just started and Fugaku was praying, wishing if not full out desiring an enemy attack. The pest took the woman that would allow him to become the head of their clan, and then allow him to kill the Hokage so he would rule Konoha. From there he would use Konoha to take over the entire world. But it was all stopped by one Naruto Uchiha. His relationship sent a long term global conquest plot down the proverbial toilet. The pest needs to die so that he could rise to his true position as ruler of the world. But the enemy was taking far too long to get here. For all he knew Mikoto was already pregnant with their first child, he also prayed to god that was not the case.

Mikoto did not even ask, she moved all her things to the Captain's tent and Naruto had no reason to say anything about her decision. Inside he was jumping for joy, well except Kurama. For once she was thinking that without her brothers mate around she could do something she hadn't been able to do. The thing she long for was of course sleep. Her brother and her mate were quite loud during their mating. But those hopes went up in smoke when she saw her brother's mate move in his tent. Naruto told her to relax, they had to be constantly ready for combat. There was little chance of them having the chance to be with her. She simply told him to look at her sleep wear and for him to tell her that again. Lingerie, silky provocative lingerie. On the one side he would have a very pleasant evening, on the other his sister would get very little sleep and her anger would only grow. He silently sent a prayer to the heaven, telling kami to have mercy of the poor stupid enemy ninja.
