DON'T OWN I did… i can't say what I would do if I owned Naruto.
(Oh and special note: this IS an Uzumaki girl. just under a different name.)
NTNTNTNTNTNTNTN
(Two Years Later)
"When will we see Naruto-kun again?" Sakura said. She and the rest of the Konoha eleven(technically ten but who is counting) have been trying hard to get something out of Tsunade but she would not budge.
"You will see him in five years. I have told you that. What part of that don't you understand?" Tsunade said.
"But why did he get to go on a solo mission for so long. And where is he for that matter?" Sakura said, not caring about the fact that it was a SS-class mission.
"I do not have to answer to you."Tsunade said firmly.
"Yes you do. This is Naruto were talking about here. Why does he get to leave anyway? Why couldn't Sasuke-kun go on this mission?" Sakura said with Ino agreeing with her.
Tsunade sighed while rubbing her forehead in frustration. This girl was continually pestering her and she was about to lose it.
"I believe it is in our best interest to be patient. Haruno-san. In five years time, we will see Naruto again." Neji said as he leaned against the wall.
"I agree with my youthful rival. Naruto is probably training to become even stronger and I cannot wait to fight him in a youthful battle." Lee said.
"You and me both." Said Sasuke with Neji agreeing. The three of them had been training as hard as ever once they heard of Naruto's mission. They believed he was going for yet another training adventure and wanted to spar with him the minute he returned.
"It doesn't matter anyway; he's still the dead-last to me. Always has been always will be." Kiba said. He then felt intense glares getting sent his way from many of the Konoha 11 in the room.
'I do not believe that Naruto was as slow as you think Kiba. I believe that he had a lot of brains and a lot of intelligence. He just never had the chance nor the opportunity to use it." Shino said. The rest of the Konoha eleven found themselves silently agreeing.
The rest of the Konoha eleven slowly began talking some more about finding his whereabouts.
'Kami-sama, if you are listening, please give me some help.'
As if luck was on her side (ha!) a message carrier flew into her office. The shinobi and kunoichi quieted down as Tsunade read the message on the letter before her eyes nearly popped out of her head.
"WHAT!!"
(Gaara's office)
A lot had changed in the years that Naruto had lived in Suna. He kept the situation with Saaya a secret that was only known by few, while continuing to train his Genin for the exam, to which he now led a three-nin squad as the groups finally got split up. In that year, he finally met Gaara's girlfriend Mizuri, who made Naruto laugh as he knew she had Gaara wrapped around her fingers.
He also continued to make better friends with Kankuro and many of the other nin of Suna.
But if there was one thing he couldn't stand. It was the self-proclaimed 'rival' for Temari's affection… Chiro-baka.
(Flashback no jutsu!)
"You… cannot be serious." Said Naruto as he was trapped between a rock and a hard place.
Currently, he and Temari were hanging out after coming back from a mission to take care of some bandits. The mission was fairly easy and was done within four days. Now the two were in a weird mall that Naruto had never seen in suna but then again, he was still learning about Suna. In it, they were in a clothing store, which brings us to our current situation.
Temari swayed up to Naruto and ran her hands across his chest. Naruto hated when she did this, because whatever she asked next would be an automatic yes.
Curse her beautiful eyes that reminded him of the ocean…
"Na-ru-to-kun… its only ten shoes and fifteen dresses. I'm sure we can work…something ou," She said as she whispered in his ears. Naruto felt blood from his nose but used his 'repress jutsu' to suppress his leaking.
"Fine… I'll buy it. Now, can you please stop playing that jazz music." Naruto growled at one of his clones.
"Sure thing boss." His clone said before winking and poofing sighed as temari squealed and thanked him.
It was only the fifth store he ended up spending money on her. He didn't mind, didn't mean he would make it easy for her.
Poor gama-chan.
"Temari-hime… fancy meeting you here of all places, I was just talking about you." Said a voice in a smooth tone.
Temari sighed as Chiro strolled in wearing blue jeans and ninja shoes with a white v neck t-shirt.
"Chiro-san." She said with a fake smile. The nin just refused to give up in his advances and it was slowly getting on Naruto's and Temari's nerves. Every time to two would attempt to hangout, he would show up and cause the vibe between the two to disburse. The numerous chocolates and teddy bears and flowers sent to her from him in the mail did make the perfect usages as the chocolates were eaten by Kankuro, the teddy bears, Gaara used for Mizuri and the flowers were great for the maids to have.
"When Temari-hime… are you going to answer my question and let me take you out on a date? I'm sure I can take you to a place that this… no name fool couldn't." he said as he moved in between them and slowly snaked his arm around Temari's waist.
Or would have before he felt a strong grasp coming from Naruto.
"Listen baka, she said no the first time, leave it alone." Naruto said as he growled at Chiro.
"Get your greasy hands off of me, you are touching royalty." Chiro said smoothly as he held his head up as if looking down on Naruto.
"Well, your 'highness' if you don't hit the road and step away, you'll find me to be royally pissed." Naruto growled as he clenched his fist and killer intent began emanating around the store. Causing Temari to smile at the fact that Chiro made Naruto so jealous. Who would have known he was the jealous type?
"And what if I don't?"Said Chiro as he instinctively pulled out a kunai from his pocket.
"Well, let's take it outside and let our fist do the talking king-baka!" Naruto growled.
"Fine by me, I refuse to lose Temari-hime's love to such a second rate shinobi from Konoha. You aren't worthy of being in her presence let alone live in the same space as her. Temari is a princess that the moon and the stars blessed and the sun itself shines on her from above." Said Chiro as he closed his eyes and imagined kissing Temari under the moonlight and stars.
"So, Naruto… what do you say we go get some food?" Temari said as she walked away with Naruto, her arms wrapped on his left arm.
"Of course. I was feeling hungry myself and can go for some tempura," Said Naruto with a smile as the two exited the store.
Chiro growled at the two in anger.
This was the fifteenth time they did that.
(Kai!)
Chiro did not continue to press on in his advances after Temari finally told him she would not feel the same for him nor did she ever. When asked, she told him she remembered how he used to treat her brother and that was not forgotten the harsh words he used to say to him.
He attempted to force her to kiss him. But promptly received the beating of his life.
An angry Temari was not a sight to see.
Naruto never told her about the predicament he was in, but continued to get closer to her as he knew a loophole.
Which brings him to the place he was at now.
"So you are entitled to ownership over this member?" Gaara asked with an impassive face.
"Yes." Naruto stated.
"So what are you going to do with her?" Gaara said as he stared at Saaya.
"What do you think?" Naruto said.
"What do you mean?" Gaara asked in confusion.
"I accept." Naruto said seriously as he put his fist in his hands in determination.
"Besides, I do need to start to rebuild my clan. I have thought long and hard about this. I think its best. I've read up on my clan rules. I'm eligible for the clan restoration act. So I can still have her under me, and still be considered single." Naruto said. He and Saaya had a long conversation on this. They had agreed that she would be his wife and that he can continue to be single as the clan rules stated.
"I see." Gaara said as he signed the documents. Saaya…was now a Namikaze.
No one noticed the ear that heard the whole discussion.
(Outside the door)
Naruto and Saaya stepped outside, giggling and talking in hushed tones before Naruto looked up and seen Temari standing there.
Naruto eyes widened in shock before stepping back some as he didn't know what to do or say. He meant to tell her tonight about his marriage but didn't expect her to hear it like this. Saaya silently took this as her cue to leave the two alone to talk.
The hallway was silent with just the sound of wind outside.
"I don't know what to say." Temari said as she sniffled, a tear rolled down her cheek. Naruto said nothing as he let her continue.
"I thought… that you would be annoying. That I would be irritated by your presence. That I would avoid you." Temari said as she slowly walked up to him.
"Then I spent some time with you. I talked to you. I got to understand some of you. I now know the kind of person you are now. What you stand for, why you do things the way you do them. How you operate. I understand." Temari said as she sniffled some more.
As she stopped in front of him she sighed.
"Now…"
Temari crashed her fist into his face, sending him reeling to the floor.
"Now… just when I start to think that I have developed feelings for you. I find out your married. I feel… so cold… I feel like I missed my chance to start to develop something more with you. For that, I can never forgive myself for letting you get to me. As of now, I cannot be in the vicinity of you without either wanting to kiss you…or kill you." Temari said as she wiped her eyes and walked away from him.
"Temari…wait…" he quickly said as he tried to grab her arm.
Only to receive another punch in the face.
"Don't… don't do that… don't chase after me. Be happy. Live with your wife and forget about me. Because Namikaze Naruto, I have forgotten about you." Temari said as she turned away and entered walked away.
This is what would have happened in that perfect world:
Naruto was silent and did not know what to say or do as he felt like a part of him just died.
"So…this is heartbreak," Naruto said to himself. Is this it? Would he let her walk away when the reason he asked Saaya about it and read up on his clan book was so that he might be able to continue to get a chance to figure out his feelings for Temari. Did she know she was the reason he was here in the first place? Did she not know by now that he was acting a fool in the first place was because he wanted to hear her voice more? Ninja were suppose to look underneath the underneath… why was she so shallow?
Why didn't he just be upfront with it?
Why couldn't he muster up the courage to tell her how he felt?
He then realized the answer and clenched his fist in anger.
Actions spoke louder than words.
"STOP!" he yelled.
Temari stopped and almost broke her resolve to walk away from him before continuing to walk.
"STOP, STOP, STOP, STOP WALKING AWAY FROM ME!" Naruto yelled as she continued to walk. He finally snapped and pulled out a kunai before throwing it at her.
A yellow flash illuminated the hall way and before Temari stood a teary eyed and panting Naruto. He had not yet finished the technique, and she knew that, but he refused to
"Why are you…" she could not answer as Naruto grabbed her by the hem of her shirt and smashed his lips into hers.
The world melted to Temari. She felt like she was on the highest of the high and her toes curled and body shivered under his touch. What was he doing to her? Just a few minutes ago she wanted to kill him, now she was willing to die for him.
Naruto released her from his lips and in a labored breath whispered.
"If you really gave up on me, then tell it to my face in seven days. Because I wont give up on you." Naruto whispered as he placed the kunai in her hands and fazed out of the area leaving Temari to her thoughts.
But, Naruto remained in that position and let Temari walk away.
Walking away from her was his heart.
'Maybe…'
"TEMARI!"
'Maybe second chances were because you never learned from the first.I've lost one chance… I refuse to lose again…'
(Meanwhile)
A figure was approaching Suna. The person was cloaked in a tan hood and the rest of it covering her body. As the person came up to the gates of Suna, they were stopped by a guard.
"May I ask why you are here in Suna?" the man said as he looked at her papers of entrance.
"I'm here for Uzumaki Naruto." The person said, the voice clearly being female.
"May I ask what business you have with him?" The man said.
"Family business."
NTNTNTNTNTNTNTNTN
Yes!! I took it there.
I AM SOOOO EVIL. MUWHAHAHAHA.
I hope you are ready for the person who is coming for Naruto.
Family business? What does she mean?
And if you think it is Kushina. Let me be the first to tell you… NOPE!
Why was Tsunade shouting?
What is going on?
Stay tuned next chapter to see how it all comes together
