Chapter 24: Hanging with the Kyubi

Jiraiya had been rather irked that Naruto gave the Kyubi as much freedom as he did, after a rather long drawn out talk between the Kyubi and Hachibi in the valley. Which by the way Jiraiya spent his time refining his literary works, to Jiraiya's displeasure he discovered Naruto had allowed the Kyubi full reign over his body.

So currently they were inside a restaurant, because apparently being stuck in a cage for so long really worked up appetite, in front of the possessed Naruto was a large assortment of rabbit themed dishes from grilled rabbit to rabbit stew.

Jiraiya sighed as he watched Naruto consume the dishes….. At least he still had decent table manners, well enough that it didn't attract any attention in this little restaurant in Kumo.

Kurama feeling somebody watching him looked up and saw Jiraiya staring at him, Jiraiya shuddered at the look of Naruto's eyes instead of the usually cerulean blue he had they were now blood red with a black slit going down the middle and had a slight reddish glow to them.

With a devilishly malicious grin Kurama asked in a slightly demonic and deep voice, "Care for some rabbit its quite delicious." As he handed Jiraiya some grilled rabbit on a fork.

Jiraiya took it with a nervous grin; it probably wouldn't be smart to turn away food from the most powerful demon in the world. Keeping the nervous grin on his face Jiraiya took a bite of the rabbit and discovered that while it did taste a bit gamey, the meat was quite succulent and delicious.

Inside Naruto's mindscape the environment had changed drastically instead of the sewers it was now a green lush rolling plain. With the occasional giant tree forests courtesy of Hashirama here and there. At the moment Kurama was just lying on the grass resting his head on his arms as he savored in the produced wind of the mindscape as Naruto sat on his head reading some scrolls that Kurama had somehow produced.

The contents of these scrolls ranged from jutsu's to history and even different recipes for rabbit dishes, suddenly Kurama asked. "Kid when we get back to Konoha are you going to mate with those two girls?"

Moving the scroll away from his face Naruto narrowed his eyes and said, "Kurama I'm nine years old and so is Hinata, and while Anko is older none of us are even close to being ready for something like….

Mating….. and let me guess because you were locked up for so long you now need some sort of release…."

Not lifting his head from his arms, Kurama said. "Hmm something like that."

Suddenly confused Naruto asked, "Why did you ask about Hinata or Anko, aren't you supposed to mate with the other Bijuus or something?"

Kurama shuddered than said, "Kid the other tailed beasts are quite literally family, and among the tail beast there aren't many pleasing female choices, theirs a giant flaming cat, a huge slug that salivates corrosive acid and a colossal flying beetle."

"So how do you have intercourse than?" Naruto questioned. Kurama just sighed and said, "Through our jinchuriki's…"

Raising his eyebrow slightly Naruto asked, "So you can feel what I feel?"

Shrugging his shoulders slightly Kurama responded, "What I feel like feeling at least, like the painful parts no thanks….. but the

pleasurable ones…. Most definitely."

Naruto sweat-dropped slightly at Kurama's perverted tendencies, than he asked curiously. "So you watched my conception…. Or you felt it?"

Chuckling Kurama replied, "Of course I did….. well at least I think I know which time it was….. actually no I don't, to put it simply your parents were like rabbits when it came to intercourse. So I don't know which exact time it was exactly….. maybe it was the time when they were experimenting with those chocolate…

"STOP" Naruto yelled out, "That's enough I don't want to know anymore."

Suddenly Naruto eyes widened in revelation than he asked, "Wait since both your previous Jinchuriki's were females…"

"There's no need to remind me kid…." Kurama growled out.

Sitting in a tree nearby Hashirama snickered and said with a grin, "So you're telling me that every time I had intercourse with my wife, I was pretty much having doing it with you too. So I was able to dominate the nine tails in more ways than in just combat hmmm?"

Kurama smirked and said, "Don't be so cocky Shodaime-chan, if I recall your wife often made you cry in bed. Due to her natural Uzumaki stamina and in addition my regenerative chakra, she wasn't satisfied until she pounded you into unconsciousness on more than one occasion."

Hashirama just glared at Kurama while he returned a foxy grin. While Naruto's eye twitched from being overexposed to the too much information no jutsu.

(Kurama.N is when Kurama is possessing Naruto's body.)

Back in the outside world Jiraiya and Kurama.N were now in one of the training fields of Kumo, after a light snack…. Well at least for Jiraiya, he recommended they do a bit of light sparing, but in reality Jiraiya just wanted to gauge how strong the Kyubi was. Well at least in a human body that is

Standing in their ready positions facing each other, Jiraiya set some ground rules. "Okay so no killing blows, and limit you too say 3 tails of your power max."

Kurama.N just nodded itching to get some exercise in a physical body for the first time in 9 years. The moment that Jiraiya said being, Kurama grabbed his katana and dropped down palming one hand on the ground. Than with a snarl 3 chakra tails burst from behind Kurama.N and a red chakra cloak completely surrounding him, Jiraiya tensed at this not expecting the Kyubi to go full strength immediately but before he could even enter a stance the Katana sheath and all came flying at him.

Tilting his body slightly to the side Jiraiya was able to completely dodge the projectile causing the katana to embed in the tree some 20 to 30 meters behind him Jiraiya thought to himself, "His aim is pretty bad a low level chunin could have dodged that." Turning back toward Naruto Jiraiya's eyes widened as Kurama.N was almost right in front of him in midair rearing back a fist, only with his year of training and reflexes was he able to just barely catch the fist, almost immediately wishing he didn't as the impact from Kurama.N could have easily matched up to the power behind one of Tsunade's punches if not more.

Releasing the hand and flipping back a couple of times, Jiraiya tried to shake off some of the soreness and pain in his hand. "Sweet Kami that was hard, it's like a pissed off Tsunade all over again." Jiraiya thought to himself, but before he could keep recapping on his moments of pain with Tsunade Kurama.N was once again attack Jiraiya.

Kurama.N attacked Jiraiya with kicks punches and even a head butt with absurd vigor, Jiraiya was able to catch one of Kurama.N's tornado kicks and throw him away from him giving Jiraiya some breathing room. Seeing this as one of his few opening's Jiraiya attacked back with a "Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu." Jiraiya just watched as the fireball approached Kurama.N who had just stabilized himself from being thrown back, just as the fireball engulfed Kurama.N Jiraiya swore he saw him grin.

As the fireball surrounded Kurama.N Jiraiya flinched for a moment while yes he was fighting the Kyubi, but the problem was that it was in Naruto's body. He knew that if he had in any way permanently scarred Naruto's body than his girlfriends would probably hunt him down and kill him… painfully.

At that moment Jiraiya didn't know which he was more scared of the entire Hyuga clan hunting him down or his former teammate's student. So Jiraiya was somewhat relieved when the fireball was somehow redirected back at him. Dodging to the side he saw how Kurama.N redirected his fireball his 3 chakra tails had become hands most likely used to catch it and throw it back.

Kurama.N than lifted his hand up and pumped more chakra into the cloak around the hand causing it to greatly enlarge, raising the hand above his head he extended it and attempted to squash Jiraiya with his enlarged chakra palm, and had Jiraiya not jumped back at the last moment he would have been squashed into a pancake.

Kurama.N grinned than said, "For being one of the Sannin you're not very hard to kill.

Jiraiya narrowed his eyes believing the Kyubi was just being arrogant and said, "I don't know what you are talking about it, you're attacks wasn't even close."

Just than Jiraiya felt something sharp press up against his back he gasped slightly than turned just his head to see what it was, Jiraiya was shocked to see that the Kyubi had burrowed one of his tails underground to go below and behind him to the tree where he was able to pull the katana from the sheath and press it up against his back. It was ingenious but it wasn't enough to hold Jiraiya down

With a smirk Jiraiya put his hands together in a seal and said, Hari Jizo . Jiraiya's hair quickly hardened and surrounded him and the katana. Locking it in place Kurama.N pulled his tail back through the ground seeing that the katana could no longer be used.

With a foxy grin Kurama put his next plan into action, quickly running through the hand signs he slammed his hand on the ground. Moktuon: Nativity of a world of trees, changing the entire training ground from a flat plain into a tall dark creepy forest.

Jiraiya unraveled his hair and hoped the Raikage wouldn't be upset that they just totally changed one of the training fields but at the moment Jiraiya had bigger issues, he was stuck inside an unfamiliar forest which for some reason had animals!

Jiraiya started hearing birds chirping, foxes growling, crickets chirping even grunts and snorts from deer. "Impossible," Jiraiya thought to himself. "He just grew this forest how in Kami's names are their animals already in this forest."

Jiraiya quickly pulsed his chakra to see if the Kyubi had cast a genjutsu on him, giving it a moment Jiraiya squinted his eyes in annoyance as the animals kept calling.

Kurama.N grinned from his hiding spot, knowing that he was definitely messing with Jiraiya's mind. Little did Jiraiya know the moment he had created the forest and melded into the trees he had created an army of shadow clones and had them henge into different animals and scatter into the forest and creating as much noise as possible.

Despite the fact that Kurama had never hunted or stalked prey while being this small, he had to admit being the predator in this position gave a certain thrill too him. Most likely due to his natural foxy instincts.

Deciding to mess with Jiraiya's mind a bit more Kurama projected his favorite demonic voice all throughout the forest, "Come now Jiraiya, I like it when my prey runs."

Jiraiya whipped around trying to find the source of the voice, swearing he saw a pair of glowing red eyes of the Kyubi blinking at him through the foliage that were freakishly teleporting around.

Acting on pure instinct Jiraiya jumped to the side as a flying Naruto jumped at him with a kunai from through the brush. Jiraiya swore that had he not dodged then the Kyubi would have decapitated him. In a blink of any eye Kurama.N had disappeared back inside the brush.

"Does he not understand that decapitation is a killing blow!" Jiraiya growled out.

The response to Jiraiya's state was cackling…. Maniacal cackling,

from all over the forest, with that the onslaught of Kurama.N and the many clones he had created began again vigorously. They dived at Jiraiya then quickly ducked back into the covers of the foliage. Some of them were caught and easily defeated by Jiraiya but there were a few that were able to land some punches and slashes onto him. While the plan of attack was crude it was highly effective due to the fact that Kurama.N could summon an endless forest on whim to put these guerrilla tactics into effect.

Jiraiya hmphed to himself than thought, "Fine he wants to play this way than I will just have to level the field….. actually quite literally." Jiraiya cracked a small grin as he ran through the hand signs than bit his thumb and slammed his palm onto the ground, " Kuchiyose: Yatai Kuzushi no Jutsu." Dropping a giant aquamarine toad onto the forest Jiraiya calls out, "Hiro! Clear this forest for me."

Gamahiro let out a sigh than said, "Those environmentalists will be all over me for this but if you say so Jiraiya." Drawing his two giant swords Gamahiro swung those around 360 degrees, cleaving through hundreds of trees and destroying a huge part of the forest.

When the smoke had cleared Jiraiya was now sitting on top of Gamahiro's head surveying the damage done, Jiraiya whistled at the sight of the leveled forest. Gamahiro than asked, "Jiraiya why did you want me to destroy the forest anyway? I hope it wasn't for some cheap thrill or to impress some women?"

Jiraiya laughed than said, "Of course not Hiro, I'm just sparing with Naruto."

Gamahiro yelled out, "YOU HAD ME CUT THROUGH A FOREST WHILE NARUTO WAS IN IT, MA'S GOING TO KILL ME IF I HURT HIM!"

Jiraiya tried to calm Gamahiro by saying, "Don't worry he is using the…."

Before Jiraiya could say anymore two giant orange chakra hands emerged from the ruins of trees.

"Kyubi!" Gamahiro yelled, "Jiraiya what did you do!"

Jiraiya gritted his teeth and said, "Dam this isn't going to be good."

As Kurama.N swung the hands to swat Gamahiro he raised his arms to catch onto the giant chakra hands, immediately discovering that it wasn't the smartest of ideas… plain and simple the red chakra burned. Gamahiro instantly hopped back away from the two giant chakra hands, "Jiraiya you can't expect me to fight the Kyubi."

"Well….. Would you feel better if I told you it wasn't the full powered Kyubi." Jiraiya said as he scratched the back of his head.

Gamahiro sucked his teeth and said, "What did you even do to Naruto? How is the Kyubi escape!"

Jiraiya just responded, "The Kyubi didn't escape, Naruto let him out willingly. Now Naruto has loaned his body out to the Kyubi so he could have a bit of freedom, afterwards I asked the Kyubi to spar with me to prove the great Jiraiya's skill in battle." After Jiraiya finished he did his little introduction dance and jig.

Gamahiro just sweat dropped at Jiraiya's carefree attitude in this situtation. Kurama hearing this decided he would try and turn the toad on the Sannin with a loud booming voice Kurama asked, "Toad how about we make a deal, you go back to your masters an tell them not to assists the pervert in this fight. And I will promise that no harm with come to the boy."

Gamahiro thought about it for a moment that replied, "You know what Jiraiya…. You're on your own for this one I'm out."

Jiraiya quickly said in a panicky voice, "Wait what! Where do you think you're going Hiro? If you dare leave you're going to regret it when I get back to Mount Myoboku."

Gamahiro let out a soft chuckle and said, "I rather deal with you than Ma or the Kyubi so enjoy yourself Jiraiya."

With a loud poof Gamahiro summoned himself back to Mount Myoboku leaving Jiraiya falling back down toward the floor and alone with the Kyubi once again.

Jiraiya hmphed at Gamahiro's betrayal than said, "Whatever I'll take on the fox by myself than…."

By the end of the day Jiraiya was thoroughly spent, while he did not quote on quote lose the battle, he was beaten up pretty bad. Right after Hiro was gone Kurama.N just easily grew back the destroyed area of the forest. Leading to another game of the fox hunting its prey with Kurama naturally being the fox, despite the fact it was true that Kurama.N couldn't consistently hit Jiraiya.

Kurama could slowly wear Jiraiya down, combining the fact that Naruto was a natural Uzumaki and with Kurama's regenerative chakra running around chasing Jiraiya around was barely a workout for Kurama.N.

So Jiraiya decided to call off the spar, for the safety of Naruto and himself….. Well more so for himself. For aside from the busted lip and kunai cuts all over, Jiraiya was sure a few ribs were bruised and at least 1 tooth was knocked out.

Back at the hotel the Raikage assigned them to stay in, "So… when are you going to switch back with my grandson?" Jiraiya asked slightly irritated.

Kurama.N grinned as he laid down on the futon, "After I wake up, I want to experience what it feels like to actually sleep in a soft comfy bed instead of inside a cage or chained to a rock."

Jiraiya sighed than turned off the light laying down onto the futon next to Kurama.N's he turned over to Kurama.N and immediately thought, "What in Kami's name."

Looking over Jiraiya saw that Kurama.N was laying on his back and even though Kurama.N's eyes were closed they still emitted a bright red glow, most likely due to the glow from Kurama's eyes actually shining through the eyelids. If Jiraiya had to put it into one word it was creepy as hell.

It was at this moment Kurama.N turned onto his side so now he was directly facing Jiraiya. Making it even more creepy, Jiraiya shuddered than turned away onto this other side. "Damn creepy fox."

The trip back to Konoha was much more pleasant then the trip to Kumo, because they no longer needed to check up on a spy they could just walk straight through hot springs country. And if anybody asked than they would just say the Hokage had worked out an agreement with the Daimyo of the country that allowed Jiraiya to pass.

At least now Naruto was back inside his own body, and hopeful the Kyubi back inside its cage. By the time they got to the main gates of Konoha it was the middle of the night already, after showing the nightshift guards their proper documentation and forehead protectors they were allowed inside the city.

Jiraiya decided to walk Naruto back to the Hyuga compound, teasing him the whole way about how he couldn't wait to get back to both his princess's and give them a whole month worth of kisses and hugs.

Naruto walked past the Hyuga compound gates greeting the guards on duty whom were quite thrilled to have Naruto back, without him Anko had become quite a handful to deal with. Walking towards Hinata's room he entered and decided to first take a shower, walking through the land of fire all day had seen him sweat quite a bit.

It would also be his first proper shower in over a week, while it was true that Jiraiya wasn't actually banned from hot springs country. But he was denied entranced into many of the Inn's and Hot springs there, most of the owners knew him as the super pervert he was. So they would often had to camp out in the woods only taking some subpar at best baths when they stopped near a river.

So entering a shower with pipes, proper soap and a curtain was definitely a welcome change to Naruto. After he finished he put on a pair of thank fully clean pajamas and went toward the bed to sleep.

While entering the bed and lifting up the covers he accidently woke Hinata who instantly lunged at him after drawing a kunai from Kami knows where, cursing himself for not being stealthier for a ninja he stuttered out as Hinata sleepily pressed the Kunai against his throat, "Hina-hime…. It's me…."

"Naruto-kun?" she groggily whispered out. While also flaring her Byakugan to ensure it wasn't some sort of Henge or Genjutsu. Seeing that it wasn't she threw away the kunai and latched onto his neck with her arms drawing his head to hers.

Instantly initiating a long deprived make out session, while Naruto had succeeded in suppressing his inner pervert, Hinata didn't have the same luck. Like the majority of the other Hyuga females they were all closet perverts

Naruto had awkwardly discovered that one day when one of females from the main branches just stared at him with lust filled eyes, while licking on a popsicle. And Naruto swore that she had occasionally flared her Byakugan.

But Naruto never expected Hinata to be the same, especially when this half asleep and groggy Hinata reached down and start to pull on the elastic part of his pajamas. Naruto shot his hands down to hold his pants in place and asked while hearing a groan from Kurama inside his head, "Hime what are you doing?"

Hinata blushed deeply than said shyly, "Oops sorry Naruto-kun….. I thought I was still dreaming."

Kurama roared inside Naruto's mind, "SHE WANTS IT KID GO FOR IT! DOOOOO IT!"

Ignoring the hormone driven fox inside his head, Naruto just smiled and asked. "I guess you missed me."

Hinata just giggled and pulled Naruto's lips back onto hers.

The next morning around 10:00 Anko came rushing through the Hyuga compound, she was easily able to bypass the guards at the front gate by confirming it was actually her by shooting her snakes at them. Dashing through the maze of the Hyuga compound she rushed into Hinata's room and immediately jumped onto Naruto's sleeping body waking the two up from the slumber.

After a brief make out session which looked more like wrestling to Hinata, Naruto began to recap on his adventures to Kumo. While Anko was totally captivated about how awesome it was, Hinata had been quite bothered with what happened to him throughout his story.

"That is totally awesome how you kicked some Kiri ass and learned how to turn into the giant fox totally worth the trip." Anko ecstatically commented.

"But it was so dangerous you could have seriously gotten hurt, you have to try to be safer Naruto-kun." Hinata added on.

Naruto replied, "Thanks Anko-chan, and Hinata I know it sounded dangerous but all that matters is I'm back now in one piece….. oh right before I forget." Naruto took out the little necklace Hinata had given him and handed it back to her.

Hinata took it and gave Naruto a quick peck on the lips, "Thank you for taking care of it for me Naruto-kun."

With a wink Naruto just replied, "No problem Hina-hime, so girls what happened while I was gone?"

Hinata shifted uneasily for a moment before Anko said, "This one right here." Pointing at Hinata, "said that we should give the Yamanaka girl a chance to be your girlfriend!"

"What!" Naruto exclaimed.

"I know right, told you princess we should have just killed her and stuffed her body somewhere!" Anko said as she crossed her arms across her chest.

Hinata replied, "We can't just kill her Anko-chan, and plus I just gave her the opportunity to become closer to Naruto-kun and didn't she pass your test?"

Naruto shuddered hearing this, Anko's tests were in short…. Brutal!

Not cleaning the kennals of the Inuzuka-clan or the toilets of the Akimichi clan brutal…. But a completely new level of brutal one coming close to Might Gai and his onetime experience being a model for a male swimsuit magazine…

Goes to say that magazine company is now closed and whatever copies that were printed are now hunted to the ends of the earth. They were hunted in fear that one day somebody would use it as a weapon of terrorism.

But back to Anko's tests for Ino, which included being woken up at ungodly hours by near freezing temperature water. Ino was still baffled on how Anko had snuck through her house and into her room with a giant pail of water. After that Ino was quickly gagged and bounded up and dragged into a training ground where she was subject to hours upon hours of torture or as Hinata called it…. Warm-up.

Anko seeing Ino's pitiful performance quickly deemed her stamina and skills worse than when Hinata was four!

By the end of the first day Ino was completely spent and was kind of close to regretting asking Hinata and Anko the chance to be one of Naruto's girlfriends. Every part of her body was aching and in pain, she was ready to pass out at any moment.

And she would have too had Anko not injected her with the same sort of chemicals they use to make soldier pills, causing Ino to enter into a state between passing out and being completely awake.

But through sheer willpower and her competitive nature she was able to prevail, and obtain the chance….. Just the chance to get

closer to Naruto without Anko or Hinata coming on a warpath after her, and even then Ino had no insurance that Naruto was actually going to agree to it.

Naruto slowly thought about it as he sat on the bed, Anko had positioned herself onto his lap and was stroking one of his whiskers gently. Anko said, "You know I don't like sharing right?"

Naruto just gave her a small smile and said, "Yeah but Ino did pass your tests so we have to at least give her a chance. And you never know her personality is very similar to yours Anko-hime." Hoping the nickname would cheer her up slightly, "You might turn out enjoying her presence quite a bit."

Anko pouted at this but Naruto just nipped her bottom lip with his thumb and forefinger, "Behave now Anko-hime." Naruto said with a chuckle.

Deciding it was a decent time to get up and have some breakfast, they headed toward the dining room when Naruto was suddenly attacked by a brown haired projectile knocking him to the floor. "Naruto-kun your back how come you didn't visit me?" An energetic Hanabi piped out.

A giggling Hitomi lifted her youngest daughter off Naruto and said in a mocking tone, "Yeah Naruto-kun I'm hurt all you care about is Hinata-chan and Anko-chan what about me and Hanabi?" Hitomi than wiped a fake tear from her eye.

"YEAH what about us?" Hanabi said as she latched herself around Naruto's waist who had stood back up.

Naruto laughed lightly than returned Hanabi's hug and said, "I'm sorry Hanabi-chan, Lady Hyuga but I just came back last night, but believe me when I say I was just going to come and say Hi, but Hanabi beat me to it."

Hanabi just hmphed and said, "You better not be lying or I'll kick your behind."

"Oh really now, do you really think one month of training is enough for you to defeat me Hanabi-chan?" Naruto asked in an almost teasing tone.

Putting her hands on her hips Hanabi said, "You betcha I can Naruto-kun."

"Of course you can Hanabi-chan." Naruto said as he walked past her with the other two toward the dining room while softly ruffling her hair.

Hanabi narrowed her eyes at the back of Naruto than she yelled out, "What's that supposed to mean!" as Hitomi just giggled at Naruto's antics from behind Hanabi.

After a few days Ino came over to the Hyuga compound again, who was quite thrilled that Naruto was around this time. Hopefully he would keep Anko from training her into the ground again, though the subject of their conversation was quite uncomfortable they talked for a while. It showed Ino a side of Naruto that she had never seen before he was even more kind and caring than he displayed at the academy.

While he was kind and caring at the academy it was definitely overshadowed by his protectiveness of Hinata.

But out of the academy it was completely different, even going as far as apologizing for what Anko had put her through. But watching Anko spar with Hinata, Ino realized that Anko was holding back on her so much.

Watching the two of them fight made Ino realize how far behind in training she was, also it made her realize if she really wanted to compete for Naruto's affections than she would have to get stronger too. She decided on the spot that the moment she got home she would have her father up her training program.

Anko had quickly beaten the idea that the life of kunoichi was glamorous and easy, Ino had somehow gotten hold of the idea that all she had to do was pass the academy, go on a few easy missions meet her knight in shining armor and cruise through the rest of her life.

But Anko showed her the reality was nothing like she had imagined, Anko took her to an interrogation of a capture kunoichi and the things they did to that women made Ino throw up a few times. Even more when Anko assured her that this was just the beginning and would have gotten much worse had the prisoner not cracked early on and gave them all the information they wanted.

Inochi had disapproved of this at the start, but after some persuading from Anko with something along the lines of having a kunai shoved up his rectum. Inochi allowed his daughter to see the interrogation;

he knew that one day she would have to stop living in her dreams and fantasies. And now was the perfect chance for that to happen.

And to Inochi's delight, Ino did improve leaps in bounds in her Shinobi arts. And so had her relation with Naruto which was more to Ino's delight. So by the time they went back to academy it really did confuse the rest of their classmates on how close Ino was with Naruto. And even more surprised when Hinata did nothing about it, this led to many fan-girls believing that Hinata's control over Naruto's affections had slipped or Naruto had grown tired of Hinata so they thought it was there chance to get closer to Naruto just like Ino.

But that sliver of hope was completely crushed come lunch time; Hinata and Naruto had continued their ritual of feeding each other lovingly. After that they would go arm in arm for a walk around the woods like an old married couple.

This caused confusion to spread through their class mates, especially to Sasuke who thought that this was his chance to have Hinata for himself.

So he was in for a surprise when he found Naruto kissing Hinata softly on her eyes lids causing her to giggle in the middle of the woods at the back of the lunch yard.

It annoyed him even further when without even looking over Naruto asked out loud, "Enjoying the show Uchiha? Though I must say your invasion of our privacy is quite appalling."

Sasuke sucked his teeth and said, "This isn't your forest dobe….. I can come here whenever I feel like it.

Naruto leaned in and gave a soft kiss to Hinata's forehead than asked, "Would you like this go somewhere more private hime?"

Hinata just nodded and rubbed her face in Naruto's chest, Naruto bent over slightly to pick Hinata up bridal style who let out a sequel of delight. Naruto turned to look over at Sasuke impassively, than jumped up past the canopy of leaves to one of the higher branches that nobody could see from below due to the thick leaves that provided cover.

Naruto sat down leaning his back on the trunk while Hinata sat between his legs leaning her back against his chest.

Naruto chuckled and Hinata giggled at Sasuke's earlier statement, little did Sasuke know technically this was Naruto's forest. He had grown it back the other day after they were each asked to demonstrate some jutsu's

FLASH BACK

LAST WEEK

Naruto watched from the side lines as the teachers were asking if anybody wanted to volunteer to show off some of the jutsu's they knew, as expected Kiba was one of the most ecstatic to show off one of his jutsu's hoping it would impress some girls so they would create a fan-club for him.

After a spectacular display of Garoga which created a whirlwind of destruction ripping through some trees and shrub, To Kiba's delight a few girls actually clapped for him.

But standing among the crowd one Sasuke Uchiha was angry; looking over at Hinata she was actually clapping for the mutt. Why would she clap for that disgrace when he did nothing even remotely impressive?

Immediately Sasuke walked up to Iruka and said, "Iruka-sensei I'm request to go next in order to show them what a true jutsu is."

Iruka looked over at Sasuke and just nodded, Sasuke smirked than said to Kiba as he walked past him. "Watch a real jutsu you mutt."

Kiba just sucked his teeth and choose to ignored Sasuke, stepping into position Sasuke aimed at the target on the trees than ran through the hand signs to shoot out a Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu. The fireball the size of a food stand destroyed the trees and badly damaged all others around it in a 10 meter radius.

The fan-girls cheered and the other boys shuffled their feet and grumbled at Sasuke being a showoff, but even with this Sasuke wasn't satisfied. The dobe and Hinata were just talking amongst each other walking toward them he overheard Hinata comment, "I'm sure you could have made a bigger one." Then she giggled ever so daintily.

"What did you say!" Sasuke barked out

Naruto narrowed his eyes and replied, "Nothing that concerns you Uchiha and I would watch your tone if I were you."

Sasuke just growled out, "I'm an Uchiha I speak however I please, and it is my business when some commoner believes that he could do a better fireball than I can."

But before Naruto could respond Ino beat him to it, "Sasuke why don't you just leave Naruto-kun alone they weren't even talking about you, but if you must know Naruto-kun can make one bigger than you."

"WHAT!" a greatly appalled Sasuke said.

"Yeah I saw him do it before and compared to yours his was bigger." Ino said almost having a fan girl moment.

Sasuke clenched his fist together than demanded of Naruto, "Prove it dobe, show me!"

Naruto shook his head and said, "I don't see what the point of showing you is, there's no need to show the same jutsu twice."

Sasuke sneered and said, "Heh I bet your bitch was lying when she said you could make a bigger fireball than I can, your just trying to play it off to not be embarrassed."

Naruto narrowed his eyes and questioned forcefully, "What did you just call her Uchiha!"

Still with his arrogant smirk Sasuke answered, "You heard me dobe, at least this time you didn't need her to defend you because apparently you can't do it yourself."

Naruto walked up in front of Sasuke and stared him down, "You're pathetic, you just can't seem to let something go especially when Ino told you clearly we weren't talking about you, but you know what since you feel the need to stoop to as low as making demeaning and name calling. Then I shall humor you Uchiha."

Walking past the Uchiha Naruto aimed at what remained of the targets and ran through the hand signs at lightning speed and said Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu. Instantly expelling out an enormous fireball that was the size and width of at least a two story house, Naruto himself was slightly impressed by the size of the fireball little did he know Kurama had ever so slightly empowered it. In order to put the Uchiha in his place.

The moment the fireball hit the first tree the tree was instantly disintegrated plowing through at least another 3 trees before it exploded sending a giant shockwave of heat and fire that almost reached back to the spectators.

Many had to take a step back and cover their eyes from the intense flame and heat, Naruto turned around to be greeted with the delightfully sight of a wide-eyed flabbergasted Sasuke. Naruto walked back past him and when he reached Hinata and the others Kiba said to him, "Dude that was totally awesome! But what were you guys talking about making bigger than pissed the Uchiha off so badly anyway?"

Naruto hugged Hinata to his chest and just say nonchalantly, "Cinnamon Buns."
