A/N: Well, one thing's for sure in this chapter…we will be having a sexual offender of sorts here. And let me tell you, as soon as Naruto rescues the poor girl that is about to be assaulted by said offender, things are not going to be good here. Also here in this chapter, we'll be getting another girl to the harem in addition to cementing Naruto's place as the possible alpha in the Inuzuka house because of him rescuing that girl. Do read and review would you kindly?

[Ninja Academy, next day…]

Naruto sat around on the chair, Meilan, Ino, and Tsukiko snuggling up to him and the other girls (one of them disguised) sitting closer to him as he waited for the results of the exam. He couldn't study, given that he was not given anything to accommodate a blind student…no raised letters, nobody to reiterate what he had learned save for Meilan and apparently the other girls that seemed to like him, it's as if someone wanted him to fail every one of those damn exams, not even an oral test. It was then that the door to the back of the classroom opened and in walked the roughly 130-kg steps of both Iruka and Mizuki plus the rustle of a paper, no doubt containing the results of the exams.

"All right class, the results of your exams are in!" called in Iruka, "I hope you will all take in these results and use them to do better next time. To those of you that did well, I say 'congratulations'." As everyone started to get up to check their grades, Meilan simply pinned him to the chair before he could go anywhere. "Don't bother," she said, "I'll go see your grade."

"Where can I go? I can't even see."

Once she was assured that Naruto wouldn't be leaving his seat, Meilan left with the other girls to check on their grades. Upon reaching their destination, the two girls saw their grades: For the academic part of their tests, the top five for the boys, from highest to lowest were: Sasuke, Shikamaru, Shino, Kiba, and some kid named Bakana Hihimaru. On the girls side, the top five were Tsukiko, Sakura, Ino, Hinata, and Meilan. For the taijutsu part, the top five were Sasuke, Kiba, Shino, Shikamaru, and again, Hihimaru…the girls however had Meilan sharing the top spot with Tsukiko due to the tie, followed by Hinata, Ino, Sakura, and a girl named Kiriya Nojiko. This did not sit well with the girls…as they knew that Naruto had been studying hard, and Meilan was especially disappointed in the fact that people were still discriminating against her apparently unknowing lover. That said, the girls went back up to the stands, and sat next to Naruto. "So how did everyone do?"

Meilan didn't know how to spare his feelings, but she spoke up anyway. "Oh, everyone made it so far."

"And how was my grade?"

Before she could answer, Meilan was cut off by Ino. "It was fine, nothing to worry about."

He let out a disappointed sigh. "I didn't do well did I?"

Tsukiko was about to deny it when she saw that he had this…look on his face that said 'don't bother lying to me'. "Yep."

"I should've known…I'm pretty sure I felt malice when I was around those other teachers. Ah, but who cares—they're probably just a bunch of idiots anyway."

Upon hearing that, the five of them wondered just how he was willing to take such a savage yet indirect beating from teachers. They all knew that there was a lot of corruption in this village…it made its ugly head known, and many of the civilians and a good number of ninja were a part of it. It didn't help their case that the many students were laughing at the fact that Naruto was the dead-last…even Sakura had a look of pride in her eyes at the fact that she had beaten that annoying moron! Naruto had to cover his ears as she shouted something along the lines of "I always knew Sasuke-kun would beat that annoyingly stupid brat! Serves him right for getting between me and Sasuke-kun! True love prevails!" The rest of the fan-girls agreed on that train of thought…there was no way that the blind kid would ever beat the power of the Uchiha, no matter how hot or skilled he was! Although to be honest, even Sakura had to admit that Naruto was eye-candy material…but in her eyes, he was just that—a hot yet dumb blond who depended on other people to get around! He probably didn't even thank the people that helped him, the brat! Didn't his parents teach him to be grateful?

As they continued to ponder about the hot eye-candy, Sakura and the other Sasuke fan-girls wondered why the other founding member of the Sasuke Fan-Club was being seen snuggling up to Naruto…but this was nothing compared to the perverted thoughts they all had of Sasuke and Naruto being the stars of a grade-A yaoi novel. Sakura on the other hand, simply saw Naruto as a rival for Sasuke's affections…maybe Sasuke wasn't gay, but the blond bimbo probably was! Ha! Like Sasuke would fall for someone like that!

…

[After class…]

The setting of the sun…the relative peace of the area around him…this would be a good moment for Naruto to practice expanding his chakra reserves by extending the reach of his chakra senses. So far, he was able to send a light 5kHz chakra pulse up to 500 meters away…now he was aiming to intensify the frequency to 300MHz to that distance. Meilan was inside the supermarket, purchasing groceries for tonight and tomorrow, and so he may as well do something to wait. As he sat on the bench gradually increasing the frequency of the chakra pulse, he had barely reached 100-MHz when he could not help but notice that there was a lot of hatred directed at him. He could hear some people were telling their children to stay away from him…that he was a scary monster that wanted to eat them. He could feel a good number of glares directed at him, before he sent a wave of killing intent their way to drive them away after they soiled themselves in terror…not a wise move on his part, but at least he was alone now, and he could finally get to his meditations in peace.

Before he could contemplate anything, he realized that his wish for a peaceful moment of meditation would not come true upon hearing a very loud and very familiar voice screaming "HELP!" Naruto was startled upon hearing that scream piercing his ears…seriously, that girl needed to learn to control her voice. He was just about to get angry when he finally smelled what was going on…he smelled fear, arousal, and dogs? Oh, just perfect…not one day since he took care of that mutt and Naruto found himself wanting to beat down the boy that smelled like a toilet that hadn't been flushed for weeks. He really wasn't looking forward to doing this…not after the abuse his nose had received yesterday from that horrible smell.

…

[Darkened Alleyway…]

The Hyuuga girl tried to fight off her assailant, but Inuzuka Kiba was too strong an opponent! The puppy tried to keep his owner in check, but to no avail—the boy simply would not listen to reason and knocked Akamaru away. Deep in her mind, she was praying anybody would come to her rescue. "Nobody's going to come save you," he said menacingly, with the hint of a mocking tone in it, "since the Uchiha girl and Hinata-chan are both that blind asshole's mates, I can't exactly touch either of them…you on the other hand Ms. Hyuuga—personally, I think you're not as pretty as Hinata-chan, but I think you're close enough…but you're about the only girl that isn't taken by Sasu-gay or that blind fuck!"

"HELP M…"

At this point, Kiba simply slapped the Hyuuga girl to make her shut up. "You're not going to get any help bitch! You belong to me now!" The second that Kiba managed to get his hands on the girl's blouse, he knew that victory was his…and he'll teach this bitch a lesson one way or another!

"Hey, Toilet-Head!"

Kiba had barely turned his head to find the intruder when he was clocked across the head with a very heavy haymaker to disorient him. The rape victim then watched as her savior grabbed her assailant by the shoulders so that he could spike a knee into the would-be rapist's solar plexus before finishing off with a Glasgow kiss to his nose, finally knocking him out and breaking said nose. It was then that he turned to face her…and said "You okay?" The Hyuuga girl was speechless—she had never met this boy before, so why was he helping her? Why would he do that? And why was it that he stood in such a way that the reddened sun was acting like a halo behind his head? Why was this appearance turning her on? This wasn't supposed to happen! "I-I-I'm fine, th-thank-"

It was then that he raised his hand to silence her politely. "No need to thank me," he said, "I just can't stand rapists in any shape or form." "What's going on here?" Naruto turned and faced the arriving form of Meilan, walking up with grocery bags in her arms.

"The horn-dog on the ground was trying to rape this little lady here, so I knocked him out."

The look of horror on Meilan's face was very clear as she dropped the bags in shock before running up to the Hyuuga girl with a concerned look on her face. With that on mind, she ran up to her and pulled her into a hug as she started stroking her long, black hair, cooing gently and assuring her that everything was okay. She then turned to see Naruto walking towards Kiba's unconscious body. "What are you going to do Naruto?"

"What else? I'm going to drag his body to whichever clan compound he's from. And unfortunately, I'm going to have to use his scent to find out where he lives." Before he could move in close to smell the horrid smell of urine from three different dogs, Naruto heard barking nearby. He then found that there was still a puppy around, getting his attention…Akamaru was it? In any case, Naruto had turned up the frequency of his chakra pulse to 1GHz, and saw the puppy outside the alleyway…the look on its canine face was beckoning him to follow him.

"Meilan, would you be a dear and take the girl home and wait for me there? Also, you may want to find Hinata, she'll probably know who she is, judging by the smell of medicinal herbs and bath salts about her."

Meilan had a look of determination on her face upon hearing the request. "You got it." It was then that she led the Hyuuga girl away…but not before gaining satisfaction from landing a low kick to Kiba's side hard enough to make him grunt in pain. Upon seeing that Meilan had led the rape victim away, Naruto turned to face Akamaru. "Can you understand me?"

With his 1GHz chakra pulse, Naruto noted that Akamaru nodded for 'yes'. "Okay then, before we go, I'm going to need to smell you so that I don't get lost, understand?" Upon getting approval from the puppy, Naruto walked up and sniffed around at Akamaru's head…committing his smell to memory. Once he grabbed Kiba by the hood of his jacket, they started walking down the empty streets of Konoha…

…

[Inuzuka Compound Veterinary Clinic, roughly an hour later…]

Inuzuka Hana sat around at the reception desk, the Haimaru triplets were sleeping around her…business was slow in the vet today—not too many people had a lot of pets that needed to get better. But then again, she wasn't surprised…the Inuzuka Clan had the best clinic for animals in general, and so of course not a lot of people would have a lot of pet problems around here. Still however, it was getting very boring…give her a mission! Give her a bird with a broken wing! Anything but this dull boredom that sometimes came with having a free day! Hell, she'd even take that vacation day with Kurenai and maybe even get Anko out to give her some fresh air while they're at it! But no! Her mother was out and looking for more herbs to make medicine with…medicines they just happened to be low on, and that were too expensive to purchase!

Before she could continue on with her silent ranting, the bells sounded as the doors they were attached to opened. Finally! Something to do! She turned door with a smile on her face, until she noted Akamaru walking in with a blind and blond boy dragging something heavy behind him. Something was off about this picture…Akamaru was never far from Kiba, so where was that little brat? "Excuse me," began the blind boy, "but is this the Inuzuka Compound?"

Hana studied the little boy…his hair was the sun-kissed variety, and his body was muscular for someone of his age—she wondered exactly how he would look when fully grown-up. And then she noted that the boy had three whisker-like marks on each side of his face…oh she knew who this was! She'd protected that vulpine little face too many times from a lot of moronic and spiteful villagers to forget him! To think that Naruto had changed so much in five years was staggering in her mind—coupled in with what she'd heard of him lately, and she began to think of scenarios involving him and her alone in the park…doing things. She then shook her thoughts back to reality and wondered exactly what Akamaru was doing alone…but she decided to ask first as to what her guest wanted. "It most definitely is, why do you ask?"

"Nothing special, I just wanted to tell you that I've dragged an unconscious would-be rapist here…and let me tell you, it wasn't exactly easy to do; not on my arm, and most definitely not on my nose."

A would-be rapist? Here? Now this Hana had to see…she got up from her seat behind the reception desk, and noted to her horror that the would-be rapist was her own little brother! "What did he do?"

"I was meditating when I heard the sound of a girl screaming for help—that's when I smelled his stink, and I realized what was going on. Right after that, I practically beat him senseless—taking care to knock him out. The girl's laying low at my place for now."

It was then that Akamaru started barking in agreement…and it would appear that Kiba had another witness against him, as Akamaru told her that he'd been listening in on Kiba. Hana could only clench her fist in rage upon learning that her little brother's envy against Naruto had finally gotten him to snap, and so he decided to take his frustrations out on any girl he found by taking her virginity. And it just so happened that the unfortunate victim of this attempt was a Hyuuga…oh Hiashi was not going to be happy at all. "What's going to happen now?" asked Naruto, genuinely concerned about the situation.

Before she could answer, a cold presence had made itself known in the reception area of the vet. "I'm very sure you don't have to worry about that," said a feral-yet-attractive female voice laced with cold hatred, "Kiba will get his just desserts. But first, we're going to have to see the Hyuuga Clan Head to formally apologize to him."

Hana turned to find that the cold presence was coming from her own mother, standing in the doorway with a basket of herbs in her arms—oh, Kiba was in deep now. Although she had to wonder…just how long was she standing there for? Did she hear everything?

"Before you ask Hana, yes I heard everything that was spoken in this room. It really disappoints me that my own son would do such a thing!"

"I'm going to leave now," said Naruto, gaining the attention of the two women in the room, "I'm sorry I beat up your son Mrs. Inuzuka."

"Don't worry about it pup," she said, softening her gaze a bit for the young pup, "you're not at fault here. I'm just really angry at Kiba right now…"

"I understand that…but if you must punish him, would you please refrain from letting dogs urinate on him? I can still smell the urine of three different dogs on him, and those self-same dogs are in this room right now—it's really offending my nose as we speak."

The two women looked to Naruto with surprise in their eyes—only an Inuzuka would have noses that sharp! Although, judging from his situation, they found that they shouldn't be surprised that he could smell and recognize the Haimaru triplets. Blind people did tend to have sharper senses when their eyesight was gone after all. "No worries Naruto," she said, "I won't let his punishment be cruel and unusual…but it will still be all manner of unpleasant."

Naruto turned to face in the general direction of Tsume with a look of surprise on his face. How did she know who he was? It was already strange enough that the twins' mother knew of him by name, but how did the Inuzuka clan head know of him in that manner as well? What confirmed his train of thought was that he had a feeling that she let it slip. "That's strange; the Uchiha Twins' mother seemed to know me enough to call for me by name…why do you know me too?"

Tsume let out a sigh. She really let this one slip big-time. Oh well, if she's caught, she may as well come clean…she only wished she'd had the ability to help him sooner. "I tried to adopt you many times. Most of the civilian council and several clan heads denied those requests—Uchiha Fugaku included."

"You tried to adopt me?"

"Yeah, even before you were kicked out of the orphanage, a lot of the other clan heads and several other ninja had tried to adopt you. But circumstances wouldn't allow us to do so."

"I don't suppose it has anything to do with a certain fox that is now sealed in my arm now would it?"

Tsume and Hana looked to Naruto with a look of surprise on their faces: Naruto knew about the fox? And he was talking about it nonchalantly? Just what the hell kind of training did he go through? Before they could question him, Naruto let out a sigh when he took their silence for a 'yes'. "I should've known…those people are so stupid, they can't even tell that if I were the Kyuubi, I would not even be a boy! And before you ask: the fox is a girl…one that can't seem to stop talking about sex, but a girl nonetheless."

Now there was a thought…Naruto was on speaking terms with a demonic fox that turned out to be female! This was getting a mite interesting…although the two of them had thoughts along the lines of 'Ha! Take that you sexist pigs! Girls rule!' they were also wary of the fact that she couldn't seem to stop talking about sex.

"What does she talk about?"

"Sometimes she'll advise me on what to do, but whenever I touch someone with my left arm, she'll whisper perverted stuff in my ear…except when it's a matter of survival."

"Anyway, I think you should get going now. And don't worry about Kiba; I'll see to it that he's punished accordingly…assuming of course Hiashi wants ME to punish him—a very favorable outcome if you ask me."

Naruto simply bowed before the two women, and started walking towards the door to the vet. "Hana, why don't you take the Haimaru triplets out for a walk and escort the boy to his apartment? I'm pretty sure he should be reserving his chakra for something other than finding his way home."

Upon hearing this, Hana turned to face her mother with a look of surprise in her feral features, while at the same time, Naruto froze not two steps away from the door before turning to face the two women. "There's no need for that Inuzuka-sama, I can find my way home fine."

"Yes, but it would be rude of me to send a person in your condition out without an escort to ensure he gets home safely." Naruto was not going to have any of it…but before he could open his mouth with a retort prepared in his mind, Tsume was right in front of him with her index finger over his lips. "Just take the offer," she said, "it's the least I can do."

Upon hearing that and feeling the finger leaving his lips, Naruto had realized then and there that he was fighting a losing battle. "Very well then, since you're so insistent on offering, I'll accept; thank-you for the assistance."

"No problem."

Hana went to the reception desk, and woke the Haimaru triplets—upon hearing that there would be a walk, the three brothers were excited! They all rushed to the door to wait for Hana outside…but when they found Naruto, their ears, heads, and tails drooped in submission to him as if he were the prime alpha of the Inuzuka house, just before Naruto knelt down and started petting them and their energy started to return.

Tsume looked upon the scene with a curious eye—from what she had noticed, all canines (be they the most cunning of foxes or the mightiest of wolf packs) seemed to submit to Naruto like an alpha of the pack…perhaps due to the fact that the Kyuubi no Yoko is herself a canine demon and thus the supreme alpha female of all canines. Perhaps this was among the lesser reasons she wanted to adopt Naruto—because she felt like she could trust the clan in his hands when he grows up and becomes the Hokage he was destined to be; another reason was due to the fact that a while before the Uchiha Massacre, she noted Fugaku having some kind of power-hungry look on his face upon hearing mention of his name. But the ultimate reason for her many attempts at adopting him was due to the fact that she knew that Minato and Kushina had wanted Naruto to be raised in an environment with love and care—which also led to why she had come to hate Hiruzen as much as Mikoto. Who in the ninja community didn't know of her resentment towards the 'Honorable Third'? She was there when Namikaze couple's will was read—she knew that Mikoto was awarded legal guardianship of Naruto over his own godfather.

As she watched her daughter and Naruto leave through the front door with the Haimaru triplets leading them, Tsume started to reflect even further into the past concerning the days after the Namikaze will was read. Now don't get her wrong; she was glad that Jiraya was not the one to raise him, still wished that at least he would've been the one to take care of the pup—his perverted streak be damned. She felt that if Naruto grew up with Kiba, then the latter would not have turned out as he had…that if Kiba had a brother-figure in his life, he would've been a better person than if she and Hana were the only ones to raise him.

She then thought back to the days before her husband died in the Kyuubi attack—oh how she missed that man! He always did know how to treat her right in the bed…perhaps if he lived, then maybe things would have been better. Tsume then sighed in sadness as small tears had filled her eyes—these tears had come about from sadness at the fate of her husband, and at the fate that could befall her only son…yes, Hiashi was most definitely going to have a conniption when he hears of what Kiba tried to do…

…

[Streets of Konoha, roughly one hour and thirty minutes later…]

"…I can only guess that life then was so hard, so what did you do?"

"Well, as you can imagine, it wasn't exactly easy to earn money off the streets without doing something for the crowd in return. And so Meilan and I had to think of a way to earn money—it just so happened that we stopped in front of a music store that I had an idea! Meilan had a very good voice, and I was very good with stringed instruments, so you can figure out what the plan was."

What started off as small talk almost forty-five minutes prior had turned into a bit of story-time on the part of Naruto. When talking about his interests, he revealed that among them was music…something that Hana just happened to enjoy as much as she did spending time with the Haimaru triplets. According to Naruto, while he was travelling with Old Man GSD and Meilan, the two of them went out to play duets for passer-bys with Naruto providing the strings and Meilan singing with that supposedly heavenly voice of hers. Needless to say, they had apparently earned a lot of cash for their troubles, and this went on even after Naruto had gone blind.

"At least you have something to do in the future aside from ninja work…maybe I'll even attend one of your concerts!"

"I'll take note of that."

"Well, here we are…888 Fortune Road."

Hana studied the area around her—it was quiet…too quiet. When she saw that the reason for the silence came from the fact that nobody was working in the buildings, she could only sigh to herself at how ridiculous people were being. It was one thing to be bigots against people with no control over the circumstances of their birth, but to have such hatred as to create a massive waste of space via a sort of 'exodus' away from the territory of the 'demon brat' was actually taking things too far. It was then that she noticed a few ninja going in to the same apartment building that she was taking Naruto to as they reached the doorway to the apartment building. "Thanks for helping me out Inuzuka-san," said Naruto after having turned to face the Inuzuka heiress, "I think I can take it from here."

She watched as Naruto started walking forward and into the apartments, wondering how much muscle was in that ass of his. Hana was broken out of her thoughts when she heard one of the Haimaru triplets barking at her…being an Inuzuka, speaking dog was actually second-nature to her, so it was no surprise that she blushed upon understanding what that dog said. "Shut up! It's not like that!"

Another of the triplets barked in response. "Hey, it's not like I can resist! Besides, I'm pretty sure all three of you see him as alpha material too."

The final triplet stayed silent, but the look in his eye said enough. "Look, let's just go home. Mom probably wants me to help make sure Kiba doesn't do anything. By the way, did the three of you really have to piss on him? I'm pretty sure that he didn't do anything for you to go that far."

Upon hearing that, all three triplets barked at the same time…causing her to clench her fist in rage, before she released it, knowing Kiba was going to get his pretty soon. She took a deep breath and calmed down. "Okay then, so he DID warrant the three of you pissing on him…although next time if you want to bring Kuromaru in to maul him, you can count on me not to tell anyone."

The three dogs nodded in agreement, and started leaving with their mistress…as Hana started thinking of the possibility of mating with the last Uzumaki…

…

A/N: Since one of you joked that there was an imbalance in the Hyuuga-Uchiha ratio in the harem, I decided to add another Hyuuga…who it was that Naruto rescued will be a surprise, but I will listen to your guesswork. Kudos to Russell Peters! I'm also taking suggestions as to which team Naruto should be put into and who his teammates and sensei will be.
