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

Naruto was sure of several things by the next morning. He was sure that he loved Mikoto with every fiber of his being, he was sure that her mere presence made his life seem worth any risk, he was sure that she loved him too, he was sure that after this war he was going to beg, plead, and crawl on his knees if he had to, but he was going to ask her to marry him, he was sure Fugaku was a traitor that talked in his sleep, finally just spent the night with the most beautiful women in the world for him, and he just had a night of passion that he sure wanted to have again. So he would make sure to live through this war, marry Mikoto and make her life a happy one. After all she was already doing that for him.

Naruto was smelling something nice, warm and tasty. Just how early did Mikoto wake up just to make breakfast. Mikoto walked to where he was sleeping, "Naruto, its time to wake up sleepyhead. What would happen if the enemy attacked?" He got up to be so close to Mikoto's face and kissed her lips. "The enemy are at least a mile away from here, and they are having breakfast too. So let's enjoy the morning and wait for the fun to start." Mikoto was not sure how he knew that, but he had never been wrong so far. As Naruto finished eating and sent some shadow clones to do the cleaning. "Thanks for the breakfast, my love." Mikoto could not help but to blush. "How long till they get hear?" Mikoto asked him. "Oh, by the pace they are taking about 4 hours. They either are enjoying the scenery or they are still waiting for info or orders. Mikoto promise me one thing, promise me that you will do your best so we can continue to live together." Mikoto could only look at his with her doujutsu active. "You don't even need to ask, You are my life, maybe one of these days you will do the decent thing and finally make me your wife." Naruto was thinking. Hey wasn't the guy supposed to propose? ah well, as long as he had her approval whats the big deal. "I will marry you and we will have a few kids." Mikoto still looked at him and smiled, "How many?" Naruto got up and got ready for combat. "How many you wish to give me." He said as he walked out of the tent. "The enemy started running they will be hear in 30 minutes, guess they got what they were waiting for." Naruto looked at Fugaku's smiling face, He began to see what they were waiting for. It was confirmation that he was there. Fugaku had betrayed him and the village yet again. Thanks to Kushina his armor had a new seal engraved on was in for a nasty surprise. "People, the enemy is inbound with 400 Iwa ninja. They will be hear in 30 minutes." He looked in the direction of Fugaku, "Lets be ready and give the enemy the end they deserve." Minato was ready, his brand new 3 prong kunai had arrived the evening before.

As the enemy came into view, they focused their attacks on him. He used shadow clones to keep them busy. Minato had sent him a note on a battle plan and he was doing it. As Naruto kept the enemy busy he asked his fellow ninja to throw the kunai in the storage scrolls he threw at them. The did but they missed very badly. As the last of the clones was killed the field was covered in smoke for a second. In that second Minato disappeared in a yellow flash going from kunai to kunai killing enemies on the way. At the end only 1 enemy survived it took Minato seconds to kill 399 ninja. Today the name of the yellow flash of Konoha would be feared in Iwa, but they would learn this much later. As Naruto turned around Fugaku use a henge to look like an enemy and used a rock jutsu. He heard him scream "Earth Release: Rock Pillar Spears!" but as the spears was going to touch him he activated the seal that he had Kushina engrave. The seal sucked in the rock pillar spears and launched then in the direction of the person who cast the jutsu. Naruto smiled as the experiment was a success, the elemental jutsu reflection seal was a success. He would sure thank Kushina for inventing it. Fugaku was standing shaking as he was surrounded by the rock spears. "What would I do without you Fugaku. If it wasn't for you I would not be able to test this new seal our seal expert had spent so much time inventing. You really just love to keep my life interesting don't you." Fugaku was cursing up a storm inside his head, "Well captain, with that seal we are sure to be ready for anything the enemy can throw at us." Fugaku pretended to pat his shoulder but he really tried to slap an explosive tag on him. Tried being the keyword, Naruto removed the tag and placed in on Fugaku. As he walked away laughing he activated the tag, he had expected for Naruto to burst into flames till there was nothing left but a pile of ash, too bad he was the one that received a cremation funeral while still laughing like a maniac. "I did say give the enemy what they deserve." Naruto walked towards the body of the enemy leader, he took a scroll from his vest pocket. He read it and was satisfied. "He really should have told them to burn this. Fugaku this will prove your guilt."

Naruto walked towards Kushina and smiled, "The seal was a success. To bad that it is a single use, but if you improve it. This will keep of ninja alive." Kushina was jumping for joy. Her experiment worked. Now she needed to improve it to hold more than1 charge. Maybe with Minato's help this could be the best defense seal ever created. Mikoto walked towards Naruto and with a look of worry she asked, "Was killing Fugaku truly necessary? You know that the council will try to use this to try and get rid of you." He did not say anything, he simply pointed at a scroll that he took from his best as he asked the question. "Read this, and then you tell me if I was right? Trust me, my love. I would not do it unless it was for the good of our village." Mikoto was curious as to what was on the scroll, but she would always trust in her lover. She read it once, and once again with her doujutsu active. "There is no doubt. This is our current deployment schedule, restock and reinforcements. This would cause this camp to be destroyed in the wrong hands. I also saw the contract out on your life. It appears more info would be delivered if they gave Fugaku your head. Yes, his death was over too quickly. Where did you get the tag from?" Naruto smiled at her, "Fugaku tried placing it on me. So I just returned the favor. I did not activate the tag he did." Mikoto laughed at what she heard. Fugaku was now not going to be trying to separate the two of them anymore.

"Well since he is gone, and I don't think the enemy are anywhere near today. How about we have a light lunch and we can discuss when to have our wedding." Naruto walked towards the tent arm in arm. "How about we also discuss the honeymoon while we are at it?" Mikoto smiled and kissed him on the cheek. "I love you, Naruto. You always know what to say to make me happy."
