Chapter 8

Naruto would wake up a few days later and yawn loudly. He blinked when Inari came barreling into the room with a happy grin on his face. Naruto raising an eyebrow asked "What?"

Inari cupping his mouth said "Mom, everyone he's awake."

Naruto blinked when Kurenai and the others walked into the room. Kakashi eye smiling at him said "Look Konoha's King of the Jungle is awake."

Naruto now with an confused look on his face asked "What are you talking about?"

Kurenai sighing pulled out what he knew was a bingo book and opened it to a page. She handing it to him said "Read."

Naruto confused did so, and nearly had an heart attack spotting himself in Lion form breathing out black flames on the thugs. The title read Naruto Uzumaki, A.K.A Konoha's King of the Jungle. Rank Genin Class A-rank. Naruto looking up from the book asked "Is this real?"

Kakashi nodding said "Yes. Congratulations Naruto you are officially the youngest person to ever be introduced into the bingo book and as an A-rank."

Naruto looking at the information on the page said "It says my specialty seems to be ninjutsu."

Kakashi smirking said "Your opponents will be shocked to find out that you really don't have a specialty."

Naruto smirking behind his mask and bandana said "This is great, I now have a huge element of surprise over anyone who challenges me."

He then sitting up said "Still this is no time to rest on my laurels. I really need to buckle down on my medical studies, further my understanding of seals, create more armor, get my Iron sand and Golden Sand down."

Naruto getting to his feet with a serious look on his face said "Add to that already busy list, unlock the true power of my Bankai, figure out what I gained from Zabuza and his accomplice, find someone to take the Kubikiribocho, get more supplies, and figure out whatever the mouths in my palms are for."

He now pacing and ignoring the sweat drops on everyone's head asked "Where to start?"

Kurenai shaking her head said "Start with more rest."

Naruto blinking looked at her and asked "Why?"

Kakashi eye smiling said "Because you did a lot on the mission, and deserve some rest."

Naruto hearing this nodded and said "Okay Kakashi-sensei."

Kakashi eye smiling said "Alright then everyone out."

Everyone then filtered out including Inari. Once the door was closed Naruto grabbed his scroll and unrolled it. Finding the section that read "Medical" he opened it. He watched as a supply of needles, drugs, plants and many other things appeared. He pulling out the book detailing the human anatomy, cracked it open and started to read. He was so absorbed in this book he failed to notice Kurenai come in holding a tray of food. She spotting him reading shook her head and closed the door loudly. This made him blink and put his book down. She giggling grabbed the tray of food and sat down beside Naruto. She letting him eat his food looked at the book he was reading. She blinked at how complex it seemed. Naruto finishing his food said "Thanks Kurenai."

She smiling at him said "You're welcome, but you're supposed to be resting."

Naruto nodding said "I know, but since I started, I found out reading calms me down and allows me to sleep."

Kurenai hearing this blinked and asked "How about we try something else?"

Naruto blinking asked "What are you thinking."

Kurenai moving the book away smiled and asked "Did you like that kiss we shared in the forest?"

Naruto blushed remembering said kiss. She spotting his blush said "From the looks of your blush I would say you did. I liked it to."

She scooting closer said "My suggestion is that we sleep together, not sex just yet, but sleeping together. Maybe even cuddling also this means we are a couple, but"

Naruto smiling said "We're not taking it public yet, as to keep people out of our business."

Kurenai smiling said "Exactly."

Naruto said "Let's try it Kurenai-chan."

She smiling laid down and pulled him down beside her. Naruto feeling her warmth spreading to him, closed his eyes feeling peaceful. He blinked when Kurenai removed his mask and bandana and said "I like it better when you're like this. Not hiding away your handsome face."

Naruto hearing this blushed deeply and tried to force himself to sleep. He was also ignoring the roaring laughter of Leo inside of his mindscape.

A few days later and both teams were on their way back to the village. Naruto was now wondering if he could ask Kurenai to move in with him, because the past few days had been amazing, mainly getting peaceful sleep without his many worries and thoughts plaguing him. He had been thanked by the villagers in wave and even had a statue of him built on the bridge. He could still see the jealousy in Kiba's eyes from that. He was also trying to figure out how to loose his Hyuga Stalker, and to his dismay a new Uchiha stalker. He had while taking a shower after training found a bra, that he was pretty sure didn't belong to Hinata, Kurenai, or Tsunami. He was damn sure it didn't belong to Sakura because the girl was as flat as a cardboard box, and if had to chose between the two he would chose the cardboard box. So either Kiba or Shino were really females in disguise or he was fucking hallucinating. He had then walked into the room he had been sharing with the other males and nearly died of a fucking heart attack spotting a completely naked and female Sasuke Uchiha. He had walked out, ran into the bathroom and banged his head against the wall and said "I'm going fucking crazy."

Leo saying "Did you see those tits. That's the best rack I've seen in my life, and I've seen Kami-sama naked." didn't help at all. He and the female then had a long conversation and by the time it was over Naruto wanted to skin the elder council and civilian council and hang them by their intestines. Making this sweet girl hide in the form of a female or be forced into that disgusting breeding program. He had decided to help her out and created a seal for her to wear that would hide her gender, and also planned on talking to the old man about the power hungry council. She was now his stalker and had even admitted to having feelings for him. He blinked when Sakura said "Naruto-baka give Sasuke-kun back the jutsu you obviously stole."

Naruto's response to this was the bird and to tell her "Not in this lifetime and please stop talking before I permanently shut that big mouth of yours."

Sakura turned red hearing this and asked "How are you going to do that Baka?"

Naruto reaching into his pocket pulled out a needle and said "With this I will sew your mouth shut and the world will finally find the silence it has so longed for." He then smirking said "I would also need to create a new opening for you to eat with, and who knows how good I am with medical knowledge. I could accidentally kill you." Sakura blanched hearing this and shut up. Naruto looking at Kakashi and the others could see the relieved look in their eyes. Kurenai even blew him a small unnoticeable kiss for doing so. He putting the needle away could hear Leo and Kyuubi roaring with laughter at his first prank in such a long time. When they finally arrived at the village Naruto saluting everyone said "Kakashi-sensei you can take care of the bounties for me. Kurenai-sensei meet me in training ground eight, no make that twelve or the one with the waterfalls to develop new genjutsu for you, or just develop new jutsu in general. Banshee, Sasuke, Kibbles, Shino, Hinata, Akamaru my main dog. I'm out, need to get my ramen on, plus I think I'm gonna give Ten-Ten the Kubikiribocho, but most importantly I'm going to go find Ino and get her on track to becoming a strong Kunoichi, because honestly she may be a fan-girl, but she's my fan-girl and I'd feel bad if she got killed because of her strong feelings for me."

He then turned around and dashed away. Kakashi eye smiling said "Team Seven dismissed."

Kurenai shaking her head said "Team Eight dismissed."

The remaining genin nodding took off towards their homes, most of them planning on telling their parents about the mission, in Sasuke's case telling her diary about the mission and daydreaming about Naruto. In Sakura's case trying to pump Sasuke up to her mom and dad.

A few days later and Naruto could be seen sitting in the Hokage's office reading a detailed scroll about the other kinjutsu he had used during the forest. It was from Iwa and was supposed to work with the Explosion Release kekkai genkai. He needed clay to work the mouths and Kyuubi was already telling him that all he needed was a small sample of some clay capable of absorbing chakra. He looking up at Sarutobi asked "Old man do you have any of this clay?"

Sarutobi nodding handed him a small piece of the clay. Kyuubi told him that was just enough and to put in his palm mouths. He doing so blinked when his hands glowed and the kanji for infinite and clay appeared on the back of said hand. Sarutobi raising an eyebrow was about to ask when his secretary came in and said "Hokage-sama the convoy from Suna is here."

She looking at Naruto asked "Why isn't Naruto-kun in something more formal?"

Naruto rose an eyebrow at this and turned to Sarutobi for answers. Sarutobi sighing informed Naruto of his engagement to the 4th Kazekage's daughter. Naruto hearing this face palmed and was about to curse the old man out when suddenly a brilliant idea hit him like a ton of bricks. He coughing said "Old man explain to me marriage contracts."

Sarutobi wondering where this was going quickly did so. Naruto smirking behind his bandana said "Old man I have some info you need to know and have a very special request for you that you're gonna do, or a certain secret will leak out to the village and I will not be saving you."

Sarutobi blanching asked "Can it wait until after the meeting with the Kazekage and his children?"

Naruto nodded and held out his hands. The secretary placing the formal clothes in his arms said "Hurry up."

Naruto walking into the bathroom said "I want Kakashi-sensei and Kurenai-sensei there."

Sarutobi nodding called for the two and informed them to dress formally, and told Kakashi that if he were late he was going to be chasing Tora until he died. Naruto coming out of the bathroom 30 minutes later was now dressed in a black tux and was not even wearing his mask. His bandana though was still on. Naruto walking into the room and spotting Kakashi with a eye smile on his face said "Not a word Kakashi-sensei or I'll inform Iruka just what you're reading in front of impressionable young minds."

Kakashi stopped eye smiling and asked "You wouldn't?"

Naruto smirking said "I would."

He then turning more, was very glad he was wearing his bandana or everyone would see just how red his face was. Kurenai was dressed in an elegant black dress, that hugged her body in all the right places. Naruto gulping turned to Sarutobi who had this damn knowing smirk on his face and asked "Can we go?"

Sarutobi nodding lead the group to the council chambers. Entering Naruto was instantly on guard as something wasn't right. He scanning the room looked at the 5 people in the room. He looking over the Kazekage could see that the man was rather cold. His eyes moving to what he assumed was a sand jonin blinked as the man had a strong wind affinity. His eyes moving to the only female of the group had to admit she was rather pretty, even with the impassive look on her face. He moving to the next person had to stop himself from laughing as this boy looked like he'd rather be meeting a male stripper or was just confused about make-up. When his eyes landed on the last person, he instantly understood what was going on. The boy in front of him was a jinchuriki and from what Kyuubi was telling him the insane Ichibi resided in him. Naruto locking eyes with the boy walked forward. He being an inch from the boy watched as the boy's sand rose around him in a menacing way. Naruto unleashing his Iron sand watched as it rose to meet the boy's sand. The boy looking him in the eyes said "Mother screams for your blood."

Naruto snorting gave the boy the middle finger and said "You or your mother step out of line in the lions den, and I'll not only put you down hard, but I'll rip your mother from you and let her face her big sister."

The boy's eyes widened and said "Mother is screaming at me to stay away from you."

Naruto was about to say something when Sarutobi said "Naruto enough."

Naruto nodding walked back beside Sarutobi but everyone could feel the glare Naruto was giving the boy. Kakashi was wondering what all of that was about as Naruto was the friendly one of his team. Kurenai was also curious as her secret boyfriend wasn't normally so hostile. Sarutobi coughing then went into business mode and before Naruto even knew it he and Temari were officially engaged. He getting back to the office looked Sarutobi dead in the eyes and said "Old man that kid. Gaara, holds the one tails."

Everyone gained wide eyes hearing this. Kakashi quickly asked "Are you sure?"

Naruto nodding said "As sure as possible Kakashi-sensei."

Sarutobi hearing this sat down in his chair and said "If what you say is true then trouble is brewing on the horizon."

Kurenai then asked "Naruto you told him that you'd rip his mother out of him and let her face her big sister. What did you mean?"

Naruto blinking chuckled nervously and said "Well what I meant was that I'd rip the one tails out of the boy and let it face the Kyuubi."

Kakashi hearing this gained wide eyes and asked "Are you saying what I think you're saying?"

Naruto now laughing very nervously said "Well yeah. Kyuubi is female, and I can talk to her and she's been helping me along with Oathkeeper-chan and Leo."

Sarutobi hearing this asked "Naruto who are these people you speak of?"

Naruto now laughing and sweating said "Well would you look at the time. I'm late for sword practice with Ten-Ten. Bye."

He then tried to get out of there but was stopped by Kurenai saying "Naruto-kun stop."

He stopping turned around. He spotting the sickly sweet smile on her face gulped. She pointing to the chair said "Sit."

He doing so was now sweating buckets. She then crossing her arms under her breast said "Start explaining."

He licking his lips asked "Do I have to?"

Kurenai nodding said "Yes or else."

He hearing this gave a mental middle finger to Leo who was laughing his furry ass off. He taking a deep breath said "Well it's like this…and all of the tailed beast are female except for the 8 tails."

Everyone in the room was shocked. Sarutobi licking his lips asked "Was that all?"

Naruto nodding said "Yes but old man remember earlier I said we were going to talk. Now is that time and Kakashi-sensei, Kurenai-sensei what you're about to hear will shock and awe you."

He then spilled the beans about Sasuke's secret and asked that said person be brought to the office. She was and Naruto then told everyone of his plan. When he was finished, he was being hugged to death by a very happy teary eyed Sasuke. Normally he'd be trying to get out of it, but the girl was happy. Kakashi eye smiling said "Brilliant Naruto."

Sarutobi laughing said "You just like giving the civilian council hell."

Kurenai was smiling brightly at him and said "Such a kind and honest boy."

She then turning to Sasuke said "I'm willing to share him if you are."

This made Naruto nearly have an heart attack, Sasuke blush and nod eagerly, Sarutobi to start chuckling evilly and Kakashi to start crying tears of joy. He wrapping Naruto in a one armed hug said "I'm so proud of my student. I will soon introduce you to!?"

Naruto and Kurenai both said "If you finish that sentence you're going to be in a world of pain."

Kakashi feeling a double dose of killing intent quickly shut the hell up and said "Well then Sasuke, Naruto I'm entering you three into the chunin exams in a day. Here are the papers."

He then vanished in a poof of smoke. Naruto with an twitching eyebrow walked over to the window opened it, took a deep breath and then screamed "DAMN YOU KAKASHI-SENSEI. YOU MOTHERFUCKING ASSHAT GIVING UP THESE PAPERS A DAY BEFORE WE TAKE THE FUCKING CHUNIN EXAMS. WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU I'LL BURN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE DAMN BOOKS YOU LOVE TO ASHES AND ROAST HOT DOGS OVER THE FLAMES!"

Everyone blinked and then Sarutobi sweat dropped and thought "Without a doubt he's Kushina's son alright. Only she would do something like that, and where the hell did he learn such language from"

Kurenai and Sasuke simply giggled as Naruto had finally did something that wasn't a part of his cool calm persona. Everyone else in the village simply sweat dropped. Sakura getting said papers from a Kakashi clone completely agreed with Naruto and planned on helping Naruto do so. Kakashi sitting in his home reading his books shivered and suddenly got the bad feeling that two out of his three students were planning on burning his precious books.
