(Disclaimer I'm gonna skip the fight with orochimaru and kabuto. I'm also the trip back to the village. The reason why I'm skipping the fight with orochimaru and kabuto is because like the fight between naruko and neji I don't think the fight would change much. I know that I made naruko smarter, faster, and stronger but keep in mind that she's only acting dumb and she's not using her full strength. She's doing this so people won't be suspicious of her.)
After the fight with orochimaru and kabuto, I ended up winning the bet. Grandma Tsunade gave me the first hokage's necklace even though I wanted to give it back to her. I didn't want them to get suspicious of me so I ended up keeping it.
During the fight, while I was passed out, grandma Tsunade said that she's excepted the offer to become the fifth hokage. I was skeptical at first because at the time I didn't think that she was qualified enough to be the fifth hokage. She ended up challenging me to a fight. At the end instead of defeating me she kissed my forehead and even told me that one day I'd grow up to be a fine woman. After that we made our way back to the village.
The whole way back I couldn't help but think of the kiss she gave me and what she said because it reminded me of how Kagome used to always kiss me on my forehead and how she used to say similar things to me when I was little.
After getting Tsunade to the village, naruko kept hounding at her to heal sasuke and rock lee but mainly sasuke for two reasons. One so sakura could stop worrying about him and two as a way to say sorry for not being able to help him in his fight against Itachi.
Along the way to the hospital Tsunade looked at naruko and said "so is this sasuke guy your boyfriend or something? You keep mentioning him a whole lot." Naruko looked at Tsunade and said in a disgusted tone "excuse me. He is not my boyfriend. No way that is never going happen, not in a million years."
This caused Tsunade to look at naruko and she started to tease the young kunoichi. "Oh is that so or are you trying to hiding your feelings for him and saying that you don't like him?" Tsunade said in a teasing tone. "I do not have feelings for him. Besides he is not my type and we're exact opposites. There is no way me and him will ever get together" naruko said.
Naruko's protest only got Tsunade riled up and caused Tsunade to keep on teasing her. "Yeah right. You know people say that opposites attract so if you two end up getting married in the future don't say I didn't warn you" Tsunade said with a smirk. "Well to bad because we are not gonna end up getting married in the future" naruko said. Tsunade chuckled and said "whatever you say brat."
As naruko and Tsunade continued walk to the hospital, Jiraya who was standing on the sidelines couldn't help but scoff recalling a time when a certain red-headed girl once said similar things that naruko said only to end up marrying the man.
'I'm not liking this pattern' Jiraya thought. It was clear to see that for some reason Jiraya did not like the idea of sasuke ending up marring his god-daughter. Lucky for him naruko was not interested in sasuke, unlike most kunoichis her age leaving him to make sure her focus stays that way.
At the hospital sakura was sitting down next to sasuke's bed watching over him. "May I come in?" Sakura looked at the door and saw Tsunade. "Who are you?" Sakura asked standing up. 'Whoever she is she's beautiful' sakura thought.
Naruko came in the room, went to sakura, and said with a smile "hey sakura there's no need to worry about sasuke anymore. He'll be ok." Sakura looked at naruko in disbelief as Tsunade walked over to sasuke. When she was next to sasuke's bed she noticed how the flowers on the table weren't picked on the same day and she figured the sakura had been visiting him for a while.
Sakura looked at Tsunade and said "you must be the one Guy-sensei told me about. Oh please if you can save sasuke." "Well I'll see what I can do" Tsunade said. She then put her hand on sasuke's forehead as her hand glowed green.
Naruko and sakura stood to the side and watched. Sakura started to cry out of joy while naruko couldn't help but smile. The poor girl had been feeling extremely guilty and even blamed herself for sasuke's condition for not being able to help sasuke in his fight with Itachi. It took a lot of weight off her shoulders knowing that he's gonna be ok.
When sasuke woke up tears began pouring from sakura's eyes while naruko was trying to hold back her tears. When sasuke sat up in a dazed state sakura immediately hugged him. "Hey teme I'm glad to see that you're ok" naruko said smiling with her eyes closed.
Sasuke looked at naruko and saw the tears in her eyes even though it wasn't very noticeable. When naruko opened her eyes she turned to leave. Upon seeing naruko was intending to leave, sasuke pushed sakura off of him and grabbed naruko's wrist stoping her in her tracks.
Naruko looked at sasuke confused. "Don't go" sasuke said in a quiet tone confusing naruko even more. Before anyone else could say or do anything sasuke pulled naruko into a hug and put his head on her shoulder.
Naruko did not feel comfortable with how close he was and how tight he was holding onto her waist. Sakura on the other hand was upset. She visited him every day to watch over him and waited for him to wake up so she could hold him but when he did wake up he just pushed her aside to hold naruko instead of her.
"What the hell teme. Let go your crushing me" naruko said. She then started to struggle to get sasuke off of her. "Can someone get this guy off of me?" Naruko said looking at the others in the room.
She saw the anger in sakura's eye and Tsunade smirking at her. "Oh so he is your boyfriend. You don't have to lie or keep this a secret from me naruko. I think you two make a cute couple" Tsunade said. "For the last time grandma he is not my boyfriend nor do I like him. Can someone get him off me already!" Naruko said shouting the last part.
Sadly it took a lot of teasing from Tsunade and a couple of hits from sakura before they finally went over to help get sasuke off of her. Luckily for sasuke he had fallen asleep before he was pried away from naruko. After that naruko took Tsunade to heal kakashi and lee.
