~3 years later~
~ Konohagakure village gate entrance~
It was a nice breezy afternoon in Konohagakure no Sato, the various teams of shinobi were going about their business without a care in the world.
It had been three years since a certain blonde haired knucklehead and his perverted sensei had left making the village quieter than it has ever been, but anyways our story is starting with our forever eternal gate guards, Izumo and Kotetsu.
They were both sitting at the gate trying their best not to go to sleep. The only highlight of their day was when some sucker genin's got suck got stuck trying to capture the infamous demon cat Tora.
While this was going on they were playing Go and making bets on how long it would take for the poor genin to capture Tora.
"Ne, Izumo"
"Yeah Kotetsu"
"I'm bored.." Izumo said with a yawn.
Kotetsu closed his eyes for a moment and got in a thinking position.
"Somehow I doubt our boredom will last forever..I just get a feeling that something will happen."
Oh how right he was.
Suddenly a tall man that stood about 6'2 with his long white mane of hair flowing behind him and red markings running beneath his eyes was heading towards the village and the pair both saw him.
"Hey, isn't that.."
"Yeah.."
"But where is..."
"I have no idea..."
The eternal gate guards continued their process of unfinished questions as Jiraya walked happily through the village gates and slowly made his way towards the Hokage's office hoping that his hime wouldn't catch him pee- looking at her.
~30 minutes later~
~Hokage office~
Jiraya silently hopped on top of the open windowsill of the Hokage tower to just in time see Tsunade pull out a bottle of sake but saw her freeze when she felt his presence behind her.
"Hello Tsu-Hime. Miss me?" Jiraya asked hoping to calm her down before she did anything rash.
"JIRAYA!!" She shouted and threw the sake bottle at him when he surprisingly caught it and got down from the windowsill and into the office.
"Well that's not anyway to say hello to an old friend.." he said pouting slightly before rolling her eyes then narrowed them slightly at him.
"Where is he Jiraya." Tsunade demanded looking around expecting to find a yellow ~Next morning~
~Temari's bedroom~
Naruto woke up fairly easy this morning. His back felt a hell of a lot better thanks to Temari and her wonderful hands.
Speaking of Temari he realized she wasn't next to him/on him when he woke up. He got up grogginess evident in the way he walked and put his pants on. Walking out the door he smelled a delicious smell making him drool and made his way to the kitchen.
When he got there he saw Temari in an oversized t-shirt over the stove making food consisting of Miso soup, steamed rice, grilled fish, and to drink Green tea.
Gaara and Kankuro must have been gone already since he didn't sense or hear them when he got up.
He came up behind her snaking his arms around her waist with his head on the crook of her neck breathing in her scent.
She smelled like Desert lilies, and Kami was it intoxicating.
"Well good morning to you handsome." She said smiling as she turned her neck a little and pecked Naruto on the lips.
"Good morning." Naruto said leaning his body more into hers kissing her neck. He was most definitely going to miss spending time with Temari like this. While he was pretty shabby at cooking Temari's food could never compete with his own.
Naruto saw the grilled fish and his hunger started to get the best of him, he went to take a fish when suddenly Temari smacked his hand away.
"I'm not done, go sit down and I'll bring your food to you." She ordered pointing to the chair.
With a slight pout he did as he was told and went to the chair and sat down watching her finish cooking until something caught his eye.
"Isn't that my shirt?"
Slightly looking down at the shirt she was wearing it was undoubtedly Naruto's with a red Uzumaki swirl on the front.
"You left it here from last time you visited." She shrugged.
"Am I ever going to get it back?" He already knew the answer but he was still curious.
"Nope." She said popping the 'p' at the end.
When she was done she had brought his food and drink to him setting it on the table where he sat then sitting on his lap facing towards him and hugging his neck.
"I'm gonna miss you, you know that?" Temari whispered softly.
"Hmmhm I know." He hugged her back then breaking his chopsticks off and going into the grilled fish. They sat in a comfortable silence eating until Temari decided to break it.
"You know I was meaning to ask you, when did you learn all those extra moves, I hope you weren't railing some other woman to get the experience while you were away..." A sly smile coming on Temari's face.
"Well there was this one woman who I haven't seen in a year who gave me plenty of experience before I left besides you don't hang around the world's biggest pervert and not pick up on a few things." A sly smile matching Temari's own.
Naruto shrugged then gave her an innocent look running his fingers along her long smooth creamy legs.
"Hey, can you blame me, I just like trying new things." He said grinning deviously to which Temari just rolled her eyes at him and playfully slapped his shoulder.
"Jackass..." She pouted childishly putting her forehead on his looking at him.
"Bitch.." He retorted softly looking back at those teal pools that dared tempt him touching his nose with hers.
Deciding to stop playing around they kissed slowly and passionately savoring every moment of it never wanting to leave that spot. Naruto grabbed her butt giving it a good squeeze making Temari moan into the kiss tightening her arms around Naruto's neck.
The couple finished eating and then did the dishes. Naruto looked at the clock and it was 9:30. Only a few more hours until he leaves.
Naruto himself wanted to take a shower, he still reeked of the activities from last night.
Walking to the bathroom he took the remaining of his clothes off and turned the shower to just to the perfect temperature for him.
He leaned his head forward getting his hair soaked along the rest of his body. Taking deep breaths in and out felt so relaxing and made him feel at peace as the warm water kept raining on his skin melting with every drop.
There was then the sound of a door opening. Naruto looked to see Temari wrapped in a bath towel, naked.
Dropping the towel she exposed her body to him. No matter how many times he had seen it, her body always enticed him.
She opened the door to the shower getting in behind him.
She traced her hands over his back seeing the litter of scars he received new and old from his traumatic childhood. It pained her heart to see people treat him like that. She gently kissed his back where a deep scar was that looked like it was caused from a lightning justu.
Grabbing a towel from the rack Temari started washing his back while Naruto himself was washing his front. When they repeated the same process with Temari they got out the shower and got dressed.
Once Naruto and Temari got settled they just laid there on Temari's bed just enjoying each other's company before he had to leave.
Naruto was playing with Temari's undone hair while she laid on his chest listening to his heart beating drawing circles on his chest with her finger.
"Hey, Temari?" Asked Naruto.
"Hmm" she lifted her head off his chest and looked directly at him. Her pool teals looking directly into his deep ocean blues in curiosity.
"If there was something in your past you wish you could change...what would it be." Asked Naruto resting his hands on Temari's back.
Temari sighed sadly immediately knowing the answer to his question.
"Not being there for Gaara sooner. That will always be one of my biggest regrets in life. Listening to our piece of shit father about Gaara being a monster. We were so naive and young we helped create the monster our father said he was. Once I realized this the damage was already done then. I cried so many nights on how I could have changed him and he didn't have to turn out the way he did..." she said becoming saddened.
"but then you came along in your stupid orange, the day we invaded saying you could understand how he felt, being in dark and lonely places, after we left Gaara said something to me and Kankuro that we will never forget...'I'm sorry.' You truly did change him that day Naruto." She finished with a small tear rolling down her cheek at the emotional memory.
Naruto cupped her cheeks and wiped the tear from her cheek. Now Temari was never one to let her emotions get the best of her but being around Naruto made her emotional barriers come pouring out.
He was the only one who she let see her like this..and she wanted to keep it that way or she'd kick his ass.
"Temari listen to me...you are not that same naive little girl anymore. You are and have grown into a beautiful woman I have grown to love. Fuck your father and his teachings do what you want to do and I'll still care for you." He kissed her on her forehead, then cheek, and then finally on her lips.
He then looked her directly in the eye and grinned at her.
"So don't cry about it, sometimes unfortunate shit happens in life we have no control over. Until then just know... I'm here for you...and love you..always." He brought her closer resting his chin on the top of her head.
No matter how many times he said it those words made her melt like jelly coming from him. He made her feel so safe and secure around him.
She then looked over to the clock. It was time for him to go.
They sat up and got out the bed. Naruto took a sealing scroll out of his back pocket. Pumping chakra into it with a little poof out came a deep forest green jounin jacket of Konoha.
Temari raised her eyebrow in question. When the hell did he become a Jounin. Most importantly why the hell didn't he tell her!! But she kept her calm posture not letting him see her emotions.
"I see that you became a jounin and didn't tell me out of all the time you've been here..." she smiled a sickly sweet smile that was just so...Temari. Yet in the current situation he quickly shoved those types of thoughts out of his mind.
"Must've slipped my mind." He laughed nervously.
"When did you take it?" She asked.
"Take what?" He acted dumbly knowing Temari quickly saw through his facade.
"The jounin exams Naruto...When. Did. You. Take. It." He mumbled something incoherent but Temari's patience was running thin and didn't want to play this little game anymore.
"Speak up!!" She yelled.
He sweated a swallowed the lump in his throat that had been there since bringing up the topic.
"I may have or have have not took the exams a few months ago in Iwakagure...in disguise of course." He had to get out of this fast...
Temari's eye started twitching up a storm. How could this idiot walk into a nation who hates his father The Yellow Flash more than anything and would kill any man who had blue eyes and yellow hair.
Thinking on his toes he quickly came up with a solution.
"Well look at the time, love you baby, tell Gaara and Kankuro I'll see them later, time to get going bye!" Naruto rushed out his words kissing her then used the Hiraishin to get the hell out of dodge.
Grinding her teeth together Temari yelled the name that was going to make her pissed all day.
"NA-RU-TOOO!!!!"She shouted leaking KI.
While she still loves the baka he always finds someway to piss her off.
~Konohagakure~
~Hokage office~
It was going 11 and Tsunade was waiting impatiently. Though she told Naruto to be here at that exact time she just really wanted to see her little idiot surrogate son again.
Suddenly there was a flash and a big thump sound hitting her desk. Tsunade saw someone's legs sticking up in front of her desk.
"Owww..."
Getting from out the chair Tsunade saw the person she wanted to see ever since Jiraya got back without him.
"NARUTO!!" Tsunade ran in front of the desk and grabbed Naruto in a bear hug suffocating Naruto with her huge bossom.
"H-hello to y-you to b-baachan..." When she finally let him go he was taking deep breath's in and out.
When she finally backed out of the hug and took a good at him.
"By the way you look I'm imagining Temari has to beat other women off of you with a stick."
"More like blow them away with her fan." Naruto chuckled.
"It's good to have you back though Naruto, some people missed you." Tsunade said with a smile.
"Well that's good to know."
"Well I'm guessing your training was fruitful since you were put in the bingo book as an S rank." She said with a sly smile passing Naruto a bingo book.

Tsunade looked up at Naruto impressed at his bounty at a young age.
"What the hell did you do to piss off Orochimaru to get put in his bingo book?" She asked looking at Naruto who was scratching the back of his head sheepishly.
"I just killed a few of his men and got into a little scuffle with him, that's all." Tsunade sighed rubbing her temples. He just got back and he's already causing her headaches.
"By the way would you want me to announce your heritage to the village now or what?" She asked. Now that she thought about it, why the hell would she even ask. The council gives her a big enough headache as it is, especially on the civilian side.
"Meh...if they figure it out they figure it out and I'll raise hell." He said with a fox like grin.
"I'll make the announcement in a few days your welcome to watch if you want to." Tsunade said.
"Maybe I will, but then again I love making people underestimate me it just makes it easier to believe." Naruto said then made a break for the window.
"Damn brat..." mumbled Tsunade with a soft smile on her face.
~Ichiraku ramen~
~20 minutes later~
The walk to Ichiraku's was...interesting to say the least. He got whispers and stares everywhere he went, not the usual hateful stares but something completely different than what he was used to. Some women that he passed by blushed at him calling him a hottie or a god, other people said and occasionally thought he was his father.
"Hey old man! How about you fix me a usual Naruto special I haven't been here in years and I'm starving for some good ramen." Naruto said opening the flaps to the ramen stand.
"Who do you think your calling ol- Naruto my boy! Is that you?" Asked Old man Ichiraku.
"You know it!" Said Naruto taking a seat at the bar.
"So where's Ayame-Neechan?" The blonde asked.
"Oh she's in the back. Hey Ayame-Chan...someone's here to see you!!" Shouted the old man.
"Here I come! So who's here to-NARUTO?!" Said Ayame as a little blush creeped on her face. He had really grown in to a handsome/sexy young man.
He nodded at her and she came over to give the blonde teen a hug.
"Me and Tou-san have missed you Naruto, how have you been?" Asked said letting Naruto out of the hug.
"I've been good. Jiraya-sensei's training was hella intense but worth it" He grinned cheekily.
Naruto stayed there and talked to the Ichiraku's all afternoon and jokes until Naruto decided it quits and head home for a well deserved nap.
On his way home he saw someone he least expected.
"Iruka-sensei!!" Naruto shouted.
"Naruto is that you?" Asked the scarred chunin.
"Yep! I wanted to see you before I went home tonight, glad I found you before then huh." He said smiling at his old teacher.
"Yeah, how bout we catch up tomorrow? It's getting pretty late and I don't want to keep you up all night just talking to me." Iruka suggested.
"No problem at all! Welp see you tomorrow sensei!" Said Naruto walking off.
Iruka turned away from his old student sighing nostalgically.
'You really have grown up Naruto..' thought the chunin turning in for the night. tuff of hair anywhere.
"He isn't here." Jiraya stated simply.
"WHAT?! THEN WHERE THE HELL IS HE?!?" She yelled to he teammate slamming her fists on the desk wanting to know where her little idiot grandson was.
"He wanted to see someone before he came back." Jiraya said smiling and looking down at the confused Tsunade.
After a few moments Tsunade's eyes widened in realization and smirked.
"You know they really do remind me of Minato and Kushina." Said Jiraya closing his eyes in a thoughtful pose.
"Yeah.." Tsunade replied softly.
~Kawa no kuni~
~Rivers inn~
Sabaku no Temari was in a tiresome mood. She had been running back and forth between Konoha and Suna and doing many other diplomacy missions and missions that required her professionalism.
She had grown over the last three years and now stood at the height of 5'5 with more curves to her body and with little baby fat. He face had became more angular with the intense training she underwent but still kept her signature four ponytails in her hair. Clothing wise had also changed a bit also. She wore a short sleeved black battle Kimono with slits along the sides with a red sash tied around her waist sporting fingerless gloves and her war fan still behind her back.
She was now on her way to her assigned room to sleep in for the night and leave some time in tomorrow to finish the treaties between Suna and the land of rivers.
She sighed. She really needed a break or some type of stress relief before she goes crazy from all the work.
As if on cue, the door of the Inn opened to reveal a man with the height of about of 6'1 with blonde spiky hair and two jaw length bangs framing both sides of his face with a bit of red at the end of the tips on with three whisker marks on both sides of his cheeks. Then man wore black Anbu pants and black ninja sandals, a tight black muscle shirt with red Uzumaki swirl on the back.
If you looked closely you could see seal kanji tattooed on his left arm for wind and the details around it had little red fire flames that made the tattoo really stand out and another one on his right bicep of a nine tailed kitsune.
All in all the man looked like the Yondaime Hokage in the flesh who'd have women flocking at his feet.
Said man was looking at Temari with a smile on his face and decided to walk behind her and put his hands over her eyes to cover making her huff cutely at the unknown man making him chuckle in amusement.
"Now is that any way to greet someone you haven't seen in over a year?" Questioned the man in a mock voice of hurt and planted soft kisses on Temari's neck causing Temari to stifle her moans of pleasure.
"N-Naruto...you Baka..people could see us." Temari said looking around.
She then continued.
"Plus, I'm mad at you since you didn't care to message me to tell me how you were and let me know your okay." She said swatting his hands away so she could glare at him.
"Gomen I was always on the move and Jiraya-sensei didn't really want me talking to anyone out of training." He scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
She then took a good moment to look at him and saw his tattoo on his arm and grabbed it making Naruto sweat profusely. He had just gotten done training and didn't already want to get on her bad side.
'Think man think!!' Naruto got and idea that would either shorten/end or save his life.
Then he grabbed what was left of his courage and pinned Temari against a wall with his body and when she tried to say something he took that chance to French kiss her darting his tongue in her mouth making her unable to speak.
She tried her very best to back out of the kiss but she soon melted into it much to her slight frustration and pleasure.
Naruto then picked Temari up by the back of her legs and she instinctively wrapped them around his waist bringing him closer to her pleasant surprise he felt a lot bigger than a year and all those months ago making her wonder suddenly if he would break her.
When Naruto backed out of the heated lip lock he put his forehead against hers and grinned at her with his Azure eyes. That Bastard...
"Let's take this in the room." He said holding up the keys to her room and landing butterfly kisses on her lips making Temari eager for more forgetting her rage from earlier.
"I hate you.." Naruto just smirked at her.
"I love you too hime..." He purred kissing her.
She growled but laid soon forgotten her anger when he kissed her again, they soon left the hallway and entered the room for their night to begin.
The rest of the night consisted of giggling, moans, grunts, and the creaking of the bed courtesy of the two blonde lovers.
Yet in other places more specifically Suna things were not going so well.
~Sunagakure~
~Same time~
In the heart of the Land of Wind, Gaara the Kazekage was in the fight of his life against the Akatsuki who attacked at dawn taking the whole village by surprise.
While Gaara had gotten stronger over the last three years but dealing with troublesome Akatsuki member was taking a toll on him.
"Let's see how you manage against this one ichibi jinchuriki!" Yelled Deidara the mad bomber.
"C-3!" A small clay doll that was in Deidara's hand grew in size in enormous proportions.
"True art, IS AN EXPLOSION!!" Shouted Deidara dropping the doll awaiting for it to blow Suna off the map.
"EVERYONE GET BACK!!" Shouted Baki as citizens tried running away from where the explosion was supposed to take place.
"Your too late!" Cackled Deidara watched the beauty he called art.
When the dust settled everyone looked up to see Gaara's sand covering them using his sand shield to save them all.
"Lord Kazekage did it!! He saved us all!" Yelled shinobi and civilians alike.
'You really have grown little brother.' Thought Kankuro to himself.
"Hn, your in range now. HAHHHA!!" Laughed the crazed bomber while igniting a small clay bomb throwing it past Gaara's face blinding him and making him go unconscious.
When the smoke cleared Gaara was falling towards the ground to the shock of everyone because their Kazekage had been beaten right before their very eyes.
"GAARA!!" Both Kankuro and Baki yelled as Deidara swooped down and grabbed him by the tail of his clay bird and flew away to the rendezvous point with his partner.
"Has Takamaru been sent to Konohagakure, yet!!" Baki yelled.
"Yes sir, he should be there in a few hours sir!!" Said a random sand shinobi.
"Good, we now need them more then ever.."
~Next morning~
~Rivers inn~
Naruto and Temari laid resting in the Inn bed as the thin sheet cover their nude bodies. The sunlight beamed into the inn room hitting Temari directly in her face causing her to groan in her sleep steadily adjusting her eyes to the sunlight.
She felt Naruto's head nuzzled in her neck and his arms wrapped around her waist with his morning wood against her butt making her sigh slightly.
As gently as she could without waking him, she took the sleeping Naruto's arms of off her and sat up. She had to go finalize the treaties between Kawa no kuni and Sunagakure for today and then leave going back to Sunagakure.
She then got up and stretched only to fall back down on the bed and winced when a familiar pleasurable soreness came from in between her legs.
"Now this is something I can get used to.." said an amused voice.
Temari turned her head around to find Naruto with a look of smugness on his face causing her to glare at him.
"No thanks to you I'll be walking with a limp going to a meeting."
He pouted slightly.
"But I missed you so much..your smile, your smell...your lips and body...surely a little limp won't change the way you feel about me." He said trailing kisses on her side but before he could continue Temari grabbed his cheeks with her hand squishing them together making him look like a fish.
"As much as I would love to do this again Loverboy I have things to take care of I'll be back later." She said pecking him on the lips and releasing his face going to get dressed.
After a few minutes a fully dressed Temari was leaving.
"Wait! What about this!!" Naruto's hands pointed to his crotch sporting a large tent under the sheets.
Temari looked at the monster that she took on last night. That thing drove her near insanity and promptly caused her to pass out after their sexcapades with a blissful smile on her face.
"Mhmm what about jr." She sauntered over to Naruto swaying her hips ever so slightly but enough for him to him to notice immediately.
Temari was now standing in front of Naruto her hand then grabbed Naruto jr. making Sr. hitch his breath at the contact of her hand.
Temari's face drew near to Naruto's face her lips almost touching his breathing her breath. Her mouth went towards his bottom lip biting it, pulling it back then letting it go bringing her forehead to his pumping him once.
"That's all you get now..." She pulled back with a smirk staring at the wide eyed Naruto and mouth open with disbelief.
"You just made it worst!!" He whined feeling his painfully blue swollen erection get worst at her touching.
"Well use your hands, you certainly are talented with them.." With one final kiss she got up and went to the door.
"Love you Baka!" Temari winked at him leaving the room.
"I'll get payback for this!!" Naruto yelled after her.
After a few seconds of silence Kurama just had to throw his two cents in.
"HAHAHA!!! You just got blue balled by your little Suna vixen, kit!! She got you good!!"Laughed an hysterical Kurama.
"SHUT THE HELL UP, YOU OVERGROWN RUG!!" He growled but the fox just kept cackling away.
Naruto then sighed, getting out of the bed heading towards the shower looking down at his soldier.
"Cold shower number one, here we go..."
~Same time that morning~
~Hokage's Office~
"Hokage-sama! Hokage-sama!!" A kunoichi burst through the Hokage's door interrupting the big breasted Hokage.
Completely ignored the look of anger on Tsunade's face she relayed the message.
"We just got word from Sunagakure. The Kazekage has been taken by the Akatsuki!!" The kunoichi said panting between her sentences.
That made Tsunade freeze in her tracks and look at Team Kakashi as she addressed them.
"Team Kakashi new mission. You are to make your way at the fastest speed possible to Sunagakure and assist them in anyway you can. Kakashi you are to assist the search for the Kazekage. When he is found you two will be assigned to retrieve him. I will make sure to send a back up team when another team has completed their mission." Tsunade said using her Hokage tone of voice.
"Hai, Hokage-sama!!" and with that the two quickly left to go gather the supplies they needed.
Tsunade turned and looked outside the office windows to see the Great Stone Faces.
'Naruto wherever you are, we need you now more than ever.' Thought Tsunade.
~Later that day~
~Kawa no kuni Tea house~
We see our favorite blonde couple drinking some Tea and happily munching on Dango while chatting away.
After Temari checked out of the Inn they both had the munchies and wanted something to eat. After arguing on what to eat and a few bumps to the head -cue eye twitch- they finally settled on going to a small homey tea house.
You could see them both laughing at the jokes one another told genuinely happy the with the time they spend together and forgetting their duties as shinobi's.
They had almost shared everything their was to know about each other. Temari was not like most girls. She worked hard to get where she is now and is a respectable Kunoichi. Another thing Naruto loved about her was her bluntish attitude and that she was not afraid to put him in his place and remind him to keep a leveled head.
There was still some things Naruto kept from Temari though, he had never let her in too deep yet it was farther than what anybody else had been Iruka included...but one day -mark her words- she would get him to let her in. Nonetheless, she was his rock and he wouldn't want to have it any other way.
"Naruto are you even listening to me?" Naruto was broken out of his thoughts when Temari started waving her hand in his face to get his attention.
"Of course I am, have you little faith in me?" He grinned at her.
She rolled her eyes and both went to grab their Tea when suddenly cracks began to appear in both of their ceramic cups causing both their eyes to widen.
They both locked eyes and gave a nod of understanding when a little white poof caught their eye Naruto immediately recognized it as one of the messenger toads Gamaden with a scroll in his mouth from Jiraya.
He noticed there was a strip of red tape on the end meaning it was an emergency he quickly grabbed the scroll making the toad disperse and read the contents of the scroll eyes widening and heart pounding faster when he got to the end making Temari worry.
"Naruto..what is it?"
"Sunagakure has been attacked," gaining the wind mistresses attention immediately. "Gaara has been taken by the Akatsuki."
Temari's world stopped for a second. Her brother was not only attacked but taken!? Where the hell was everybody? Why didn't anyone help protect the Kazekage? These were the same people that were coming after her boyfriend sooner or later.
"Tema I need you to calm down we'll get him back I promise." Naruto said gently cupping her cheeks to try to get her to calm down.
She nodded reluctantly gently sliding up her own hand to where Naruto's was. At times like these she was thankful for someone like Naruto.
"Do you still have that Tri-pronged kunai I gave you in your room?" Temari nodded.
When Naruto was in the land of Iron he had met the country's leader, Mifune who knew his father and would tell him how his father would order his special kunai from him.
Naruto had wanted a kunai like his fathers but different instead of a silver color it was another type of metal that made the kunai black with the same formula his father used encrypted at the bottom. The huge difference between Naruto's kunai and his fathers was that Naruto had small kanji engraved on the black part for wind.
"Okay then we'll be there in no time.." Naruto breathed out.
"Hold on to me we're in for one hell of a ride." Naruto then kissed Temari's forehead and flashed out of the little Tea house.
~Sunagakure~
~Temari's Bedroom~
The pair ended up in Temari's bedroom in the Kazekage's compound. When they finally got their senses together they ran out the compound and onto the streets of Sunagakure.
"TEMARI!!" A voice behind them yelled.
They looked back to see it was Temari's old Sensei Baki running up to them.
"Thank kami your back! Your brother-" He was cut off by the furious Temari.
"Yeah, let's talk about how you let THE KAZEKAGE GET TAKEN BY AN S-RANKED CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION THAT ARE AFTER HIS BIJU!!" She roared tons of killing intent rolling off of her making civilians and shinobi alike scared.
She was unbelievably upset and emotional that her little brother was taken. She was fucking furious.
Everyone in Suna knew Temari wasn't a woman to be crossed when she was pissed. Hell, even Naruto knew this but still wanted to be there for her even if she was that way.
"It's not about Gaara, Temari... it's Kankuro." Baki said showing his seriousness.
Temari's heart stopped and fear claimed her.
"What happened to Kankuro?" Temari said in a voice above a whisper.
"After Gaara was taken, Kankuro quickly pursued the Akatsuki duo that had done the assault. He tried to take on Sasori of the red sands, but ended up getting poisoned. We haven't been able to counteract his poison at all. All of our medics say they haven't seen anything like it. Even Lady Chiyo couldn't do anything about it." Baki answered slightly sighing.
Temari froze up and the only thing keeping her up was Naruto who had got behind her holding her. Both of her brothers were facing grave situations and she was helpless to stop any of it.
"Let me see him. I can slow the poison down until Sakura gets here and get the poison out of his system." Temari looked up at her boyfriend with a look of hope on her face.
Baki nodded and quickly escorted the two to Kankuro's room.
Once they got there Temari couldn't help but gasp at the scene in front of her. There was her brother with medics all around him discussing theories all while Kankuro laid there on the bed breathing erratically and sweating like no tomorrow.
"Let him through." Baki's voice boomed throughout the room making the medics back away from Kankuro's body and Naruto coming in.
Naruto then took out some ink and a brush and started to draw a seal on where Kankuro's heart was located.
When he was done he pumped chakra in his hand on the seal making it glow and then disappear as it it was never there.
"There that should do." Said Naruto backing away from Kankuro's much calmer body.
"Let's just hope that Sakura gets here soon." Prayed Temari silently a few tears falling from her beautiful teals.
Kami, he never liked to see Temari cry, or any strong woman to cry in general.
Naruto the kissed Temari's temple for reassurance.
"They'll be here just hang on." Naruto said guiding Temari to the couch making her lay her head on his chest listening to the rhythm of his heart beat going to sleep.
Naruto then put a blanket over the both of them just wanting to rest his eyes for a bit.
~Next morning~
"YOU WILL DIE FOR WHAT YOU DID KONOHA NO SHIROI KIBA!!" Yelled and elderly voice outside of the room making Naruto wake up laying Temari's head on the couch and pulled the blanket over her.
"Eh?!" Said the one eyed cyclops.
The old lady Charged at cyclops only to be stopped by Naruto's voice.
"Wait Chiyo-baachan that Sharingan no Kakashi he's an ally!" Naruto said.
Kakashi was to relieved that she wasn't going to attack him to not register he knew that voice from somewhere.
Suddenly Chiyo's attitude did a complete 180 from earlier.
"Ahaha! I knew that that wasn't him he died years ago! And don't call me that brat!" She laughed getting everyone in the room to sweat drop.
Naruto then stepped from out the corner of the room causing the two leaf shinobi to be shocked at his appearance.
"Naruto! What are you doing here?" Questioned Sakura.
"Oh you know when a friend is in trouble I tend to offer my help. There wasn't much I could do for Kankuro though. I put a stasis seal on him so the poison wouldn't spread fast. Even Chiyo can't cure and she's like a poison expert or something like that." Naruto sighed.
"He's right, if only the old slug queen were here she could heal any poisons." Chiyo said.
"Well I'm Lady Tsunade's apprentice I could take a look I believe I'm rather good with poisons. I just need to extract a small amount." Sakura said going into Kankuro's room to check him out.
"Okay, Sakura is working on that, we need to know where the Akatsuki are headed. Naruto have you been able to gather any information on who the Akatsuki pair are?" The copy ninja asked.
"Oh right the report.. erm from what Jiraya-sensei told me one of the Akatsuki pair used clay explosives shaped into animals before exploding and he's guessing it's Deidara the mad bomber of Iwagakure. The other one is Sasori of the Red Sands the one who poisoned Kankuro." Naruto finished receiving a nod from Kaksshi.
Sakura then came out of the room with a small vile of black liquid in her hand.
"I have to go analyze this poison and prepare an antidote. Do you guys have a medical garden?" Sakura asked and was pointed in the direction to go.
She wave goodbye and quickly disappeared in the direction of the garden. But before she left she let them know the process would take a could of hours. So Naruto and Kakashi talked for a bit then left to see how Temari was doing who was just looking at Kankuro's body.
He then grabbed her hand letting her know that he was there for her and she gripped his hand in response.
When Sakura completed the antidote it only took a few minutes to take effect and Kankuro began to awake with Temari by his side.
"Egh..where the hell am I?" Kankuro asked in a raspy voice.
"In the hospital, you were attack by Sasori, we need to know which way they took Gaara." Temari said.
Kankuro groaned once again trying to pull himself together.
"They were head towards river country. I took a piece off of Sasori's cloak while fighting him. You can track them using that." He said pulling out a piece of black fabric.
"We need to go now! Before we lose the scent. Kakashi use your ninken to track them and find Gaara." Naruto said
"Okay let's move out." Kakashi said as he and Sakura went out the room along with Lady Chiyo demanding she go also.
With Temari, Kankuro, and Naruto just left in the room Naruto bent down on the couch to give Temari a kiss to keep her from protesting to go with him.
"You stay here and help your people, I'll get your brother back." He said stroking her cheek.
"Fine.." mumbled Temari not really putting up a fight because what he said was true.
With that Naruto threw one last wink at her and did a wind shunshin out of the room leaving the two siblings.
"You sure know how to pick em sis." Said a smirking Kankuro.
Temari glared at him.
"Just be glad your in that bed right now otherwise you would have gotten bashed over the head my Baka brother." Temari said threateningly making Kankuro gulp and shut up.
~That night~
~Boarder of Suna and Kawa no kuni~
Team Kakashi and Lady Chiyo had setup camp for the night so they could have strength for the fight that would come tomorrow.
The only two that were up was Kakashi and Chiyo.
"That boy...cares a great deal about Gaara. Why?" Chiyo asked really wanting to know why that brat had cared about the Kazekage.
"Hm..well Naruto can understand Gaara in a way none of us can. He knows the pain that Gaara went through and they made a connection through that. He saw himself in Gaara. If Naruto didn't have people to care for him he most likely would have ended up the way Gaara did. But besides that Naruto would help any friend in need." Kakashi finished with an eye smile.
"So he is a jinchuriki as well." She stated. Then making another connection. "He is the son of the Yondaime and kyuubi jinchuriki right?" Asked Chiyo
"Maybe then again maybe not." He said getting a 'hm' of acknowledgment from Chiyo.
It was quiet after that. Both lost in their thoughts after Sakura woke up and their shift was over Chiyo had thoughts about Naruto.
'Maybe there can be peace between villages. This boy has shown so much promise. I cannot let their dream die.' Vowed Chiyo before drifting off to sleep,
~Next Day~
~River Country~
The group of Konoha shinobi and the elder from Suna entered River country later that day. Led by Kakashi's summon Pakun and making good pace catching up to the Akatsuki.
"The scent is getting stronger, we are only a couple of hours away." Pakun said.
"Good we can't let them remove Shukaku from Gaara." Chiyo said a frown etching on her face showing her age.
"Umm...Chiyo-sama what would happen if a demon was removed from its host. Wouldn't it be good if we didn't have to deal with it?" This made Naruto flinch bringing back old memories of what people used to do to him.
"The host would die from its separation from the biju. Since Gaara had his biju sealed inside when he was in the womb he would die instantly it's basically like ripping the heart from your chest." Chiyo said shocking Sakura.
"That's awful, why would they do that to a child?" Sakura asked.
"Sakura, villages don't often care about the children. They only care about about their own strength and staying on top competing with other villages." Naruto said disgustingly.
The group continued in silence towards the destination with Naruto worrying about his friend.
"Brat be careful I sense a certain Uchiha's chakra." Warned Kurama.
'So just now wanting to wake up from your nap?' Naruto sarcastically asked the fox.
"Will you shut the hell up and watch out! I'm being serious here.." yelled Kurama to his dumbass of a host.
Soon enough they stopped and came face to face with...
"Itachi Uchiha," Kakashi breathed out.
"It's been awhile Kakashi-San, Naruto-kun." Said Itachi monotonously gaining a shiver of discomfort from Naruto.
"Don't call me that you weirdo." Naruto mumbled.
Kurama then took time to speak up.
"Naruto he is nothing but a clone but still be weary of him" said Kurama.
"Your not taking Naruto." Kakashi declared raising his headband to reveal his sharingan eye and getting into a defensive stance.
"Relax Kakashi-sensei he couldn't take me even if he was actually here." Naruto snarled.
"Uh, Naruto what do you mean. He's obviously standing right in front of us." Sakura said.
"Well no shit Sherlock, but I'm sure you can feel he isn't really Itachi isn't that right kakashi-sensei." Stated Naruto.
"Hm.. I was starting to wonder why he hadn't activated his sharingan yet."
"You certainly are full of surprises Naruto-kun, well I didn't come here to talk so shall we just begin." Itachi said not flinching one bit.
Kakashi took the first move by engaging Itachi in a battle of taijustu. Naruto watched impassively until he felt a presence behind him about to lunge at him.
Spinning around faster than anyone could see Naruto quickly kicked the hell out of a clone of Itachi making the clone disperse in crows.
Chiyo and Sakura were awestruck at Naruto's strength by ending the clone of Itachi in one hit even Itachi was surprised himself even though he was still fighting Kakashi.
Kakashi had just ran his Chidori through Itachi's chest making the the clone of him disperse.
When it dispersed falling with the confetti like paper was suna Anbu captain Yuura.
Naruto then removed the mans headband and gave it to Chiyo.
"The man still deserves to be grieved by his family." Naruto said silently.
"You are a strange person Naruto Uzumaki." Chiyo said.
Naruto just shrugged.
"How so?" He asked.
"You show kindness to people who do not deserve it like this man." Said Chiyo in somewhat of a far off state.
"It just feels right to do I guess it's just who I am." He said simply like it was the easiest thing in the world.
They then left the area to catch up before Gaara's biju was fully extracted.
~15 minutes later~
~Sealed cave~
""YOSH! Kakashi my youthful rival it's good to see that you were not held up by our most unyouthful rivals." Everyone sweatdropped at the Green beasts exuberant attitude.
"Well Itachi managed to stall us for some time." Kakashi said.
"Well your battle must have been youthful. I came across this familiar strange blue man that was most unyouthful who was quite a challenging opponent." Said Gai.
"Um, Gai before you arrived we were trying to get through the boulder." A sighing Kakashi said.
"Well couldn't I just smash it?" Asked Sakura.
Kakashi was about to say something but Naruto beat him to the punch.
"Well I would usually say go right ahead but there's a five point seal guarding them." Naruto said surprising everyone.
'He looks just like the Yondaime Hokage!' Thought a surprised Gai in his mind but kept his face neutral.
"Do I know you my youthful comrade?"
'Kami who is this blonde stud!? I wouldn't mind a go with him!'' Thought a blushing Tenten secretly licking her lips at the scrumptious man that stands before her.
"Wow...am I that unrecognizable in just three years extra bushy brow-sensei?" The blonde asked.
This made everyone on team Gai immediately recognize who he was.
"NARUTO!!" They all yelled in union.
"The one and only." Naruto grinned cheekily
'How the hell did NARUTO of all people of this much good of a glow up!!" If she didn't have as much dignity as she did now she would have to asked him out. But she'll just have to wait and see.
"Neji can you see the other seals?" Asked Kakashi to the Byakugan user.
"No need Sensei I can just take the seal down right here." Said Naruto jumping up to seal and started writing sealing tags on the seal.
This made everyone gap at Naruto in awe. They knew that he would come back stronger from training with Jiraya-sama they just didn't realize that he'd be strong enough to master fuinjustu.
"Annnd, done. You guys might want to stand back though, there's no telling what the reaction will be." Said Naruto grinning getting a face fault from everyone.
BOOM!
As quickly as everyone could the went to the side of the cave to avoid rocks from hitting them.
Once the explosion was don't the team went inside the cave and was shocked at what they found.
They saw the Akatsuki member Deidara sitting on top of Gaara's dead body playing with it.
"GAARA!!" Naruto yelled.
"Oh him? He's been dead for a minute kyuubi jinchuriki. Too, bad you almost made it too but hey oh well you'll join him sooner or later." Deidara said tauntingly smirking.
"Focus Naruto...don't let him get to you." Kurama said.
What happened next no one was expecting from Naruto. Naruto became stoned face making him devoid of all emotion and glared at Deidara with icy blue eyes that could even make a biju stop.
Naruto then threw one of his signature Tri-pronged kunai right by Gaara's body and in a flash next to Deidara grabbing his arm and twisted it finally breaking it with his foot throwing his arm to the side kicking him along with it.
Deidara with the last arm he had left threw clay birds on the ground creating a smoke screen. When the dust cleared the saw Deidara on a clay bird with Gaara in tow.
"Give us back Gaara!" Naruto growled out in annoyance.
"Mmh. Nah come get him!!" Yelled Deidara maniacally flying away.
Naruto was about to go after him when suddenly a glint caught his eye and he flashed to where he had thrown his kunai from earlier and looked at Sasori.
"I hope you didn't forget about me." He said in his gravely voice.
"We'll take care of him." Said Sakura pointing to Chiyo and herself and then Team Gai.
With a simple nod from Naruto he was off with Kakashi following.
"You know he's luring you somewhere right?" Said Kakashi.
Naruto grunted as in affirmative as he kept running after the Mad bomber. He didn't want to lose his friend and he didn't want to see Temari cry again, it just pains his heart too much.
'Don't you dare die on me Gaara don't you dare die on family!!' The blonde haired teen thought. Kakashi then used his Sharingan to do something called Kamui and ripped of Deidara's other arm making Kakashi slow down tremendously.
The chase started off with Deidara throw all types of bombs at both Kakashi and Naruto, but when Naruto was able to look up again without getting dust in his eyes he took it as an advantage.
Naruto threw his Tri-pronged kunai directly towards Deidara transporting Naruto along with it.
"This ends right here Deidara!" Naruto yelled.
"Un, your right, you'll be joining your friend real soon!"
"Son of a bitch!!"
"Fuuton: Wind blade Justu!" Naruto yelled as a blade of wind sliced Deidara and his bird. Naruto then noticed that Deidara was a clone and what he was on was just a big bomb waiting to go off.
Naruto grabbed Gaara and jumped off the bird before the bird exploded in the sky free falling. He transported to a grassy clearing he had discretely marked with his kunai after the encounter with Itachi and laid Gaara's body down.
"Damnit Gaara...your not supposed to die yet..it's not your time..FUCK!!" Naruto yelled at the end fists clenched together.
Kakashi, Sakura, Chiyo, and Team Gai had walked in on the scene a little beat up but okay for the most part.
"Naruto...I'm so sorry." Kakashi said quietly to his student.
Chiyo then walked forward to Gaara's body, kneeled down and put her hands on him glowing green.
"What are you doing Chiyo-bachan?" Asked Naruto.
"There's a kinjustu I know, puppeteers would use it in the past to give some of their life to the puppet. I can bring Gaara back." Chiyo said easy to give up her own life so the next generation could live on.
Chiyo felt her own chakra going out afraid she was not able to finish the task that is until she felt hands on top of her looking up she saw Naruto looking at her and gave her a nod.
"We older people believe that everything should stay the same. We just can't except the fact that the world and way of shinobi is evolving and our ways are old. I truly believed that there could never be peace between villages that have had bad blood for ages, but today you have proved me wrong. So in my final hour I want to finally do something right. Naruto, do an old woman a favor would you; You and Gaara both share the pain of being jinchuriki's and being hated. Please look after him and take care of him." Chiyo said a smile gracing her lips and closing her eyes for the last time.
"Of course Chiyo-sama." Said Naruto holding Chiyo in her last moments.
The once lifeless body of Gaara started to twitch and groan with his eyes slowly opening like butterflies for takeoff.
"Welcome back Gaara." Naruto said with a small smile.
"Kazekage-sama!!" Shouted Suna shinobi running towards the small group.
"Naruto." He said the taking a good look he saw all of his shinobi who came to his aid.
"What's this?" Gaara asked.
"They're all here for you Ototo." Said Kankuro.
"You had us worried Gaara." Temari said with a smile walking up to him and hugging him catching Gaara off guard.
"Thank you.." Temari silently mouthed to Naruto.
Gaara then looked at Chiyo in Naruto's arms and was about to ask until Naruto replied.
"She gave up her life so you could lead future generations, she believed in you, believed in us."
Gaara widened his eyes in surprise that the woman who has made him a jinchuriki would give up her life for him.
Naruto put out his hand to help Gaara up and put his arm around his neck to give Gaara support to lean on.
"Let us bow our head in respect for the sacrifice Chiyo-sama has made" Gaara said.
Everyone had lowered their heads for a minute in honor of Chiyo and then after that made their way back to Suna.
The journey back to Sunagakure was mostly silent. When they reached the gates of Suna the village was so full of life. More than Gaara had ever seen it. It left Gaara speechless at that point.
They had Chiyo's funeral the same day they had gotten back and after the Konoha teams plus Naruto were at the gates preparing to return.
Gaara had a small smile on his face as he looked at Naruto.
"Looks like I am in your debt again my friend." Gaara said.
Naruto shook his head smiling. "Family don't owe each other anything." Naruto said.
Gaara the grabbed Naruto lightly with his sand and put it towards him so they were now shaking hands.
They then stopped and Naruto gave Temari a hug and slight kiss on the neck which didn't go unnoticed by Kakashi who just smiled underneath his mask.
"I love you." He silently mouthed to her when he let her out of the hug.
"I love you too." She silently mouthed back.
With that the group of Konoha nin's turned back to leave until the heard a poof. Trying to see where it came from it was to late. It had already landed and was squishing Naruto.
"Yo, bro! Where you at!" Shouted Gamakichi trying to find his summoner.
"R-right here..."Naruto mumbled out.
People were laughing at the unfortunate summoners situation.
"Ohhh..Well why didn't you speak up!!! *Ahem* Anyways I have a message to you from your K-" Gamakichi was cut off when he was suddenly thrown in the air.
"THANK YOU GAMAKICHI!! PLEASE JUST GIVE ME THE SCROLL AND WE'LL BOTH BE ON OUR MERRY WAY!!" Naruto said to keep Gamakichi from saying what he was about to say. Referring to Tsunade as Kaachan was embarrassing as hell in front of other people.
Gamakichi grumbled but then handed Naruto the scroll.
"Peace, bro!" Yelled Gamakichi before dispersing back in the cloud of smoke.
"Oh, sweet Kami my back!!" Naruto groaned trying to stretch and put all his bones in place but ended up hurting it.
Somewhere in Iwagakure a certain old goat got a feeling out there in the world someone to sympathize about his hip and back pains.(Not that he would ever admit that to anyone but himself)
Naruto then read the scroll and was grinning like a mad man over the immense pain he was feeling.
Dear Naruto,
I going to allow you to stay in Suna for one more day, I then expect you to be here by tomorrow at 11 a.m. no later or there will be consequences... I know you marked the village gates and my office before you left so no excuses!! When your other team asks you why you are staying behind tell them it's a mission from me. Spend some time with your little Tema-Chan while your at it.
~Love you brat, Tsunade
"What does it say Naruto?" Asked Sakura.
"It's classified from Hokage-sama Sakura I can't tell you."
"But I'm your teammate! Why can't you tell me!" She screeched, Naruto was about to say something but Kakashi beat him to it.
"Now, now Sakura if it's classified by Hokage-sama he can't give out any information let's leave it alone." Kakashi said with an eye smile.
Sakura grumbled but left it alone.
"Well Gaara looks like I have to stay here one more day for some important matters." Said Naruto discreetly looking at Temari.
Naruto handed Gaara the scroll for him to take a look at.
"Well this is certainly convincing let's talk about this over in my family compound." Gaara suggested playing along.
After it was said and done Konoha groups left and said goodbye for the last time the sand siblings and Naruto shunshined fo the Kazekage's compound.
"Now what's this oh so important mission Naruto?" Temari asked.
"Why you are as of matter of fact." He chuckled at her confused expression.
He then tossed her the scroll he had and she read it contents making her blush like crazy.
"I guess if you don't want me here I-" Temari grabbed his hand and rushed him towards her room slamming the door.
She had went without sex for a year and while the other night was wonderful she'll be damned if she didn't get one more time in before he leaves tomorrow.
~Next morning~
~Temari's bedroom~
Naruto woke up fairly easy this morning. His back felt a hell of a lot better thanks to Temari and her wonderful hands.
Speaking of Temari he realized she wasn't next to him/on him when he woke up. He got up grogginess evident in the way he walked and put his pants on. Walking out the door he smelled a delicious smell making him drool and made his way to the kitchen.
When he got there he saw Temari in an oversized t-shirt over the stove making food consisting of Miso soup, steamed rice, grilled fish, and to drink Green tea.
Gaara and Kankuro must have been gone already since he didn't sense or hear them when he got up.
He came up behind her snaking his arms around her waist with his head on the crook of her neck breathing in her scent.
She smelled like Desert lilies, and Kami was it intoxicating.
"Well good morning to you handsome." She said smiling as she turned her neck a little and pecked Naruto on the lips.
"Good morning." Naruto said leaning his body more into hers kissing her neck. He was most definitely going to miss spending time with Temari like this. While he was pretty shabby at cooking Temari's food could never compete with his own.
Naruto saw the grilled fish and his hunger started to get the best of him, he went to take a fish when suddenly Temari smacked his hand away.
"I'm not done, go sit down and I'll bring your food to you." She ordered pointing to the chair.
With a slight pout he did as he was told and went to the chair and sat down watching her finish cooking until something caught his eye.
"Isn't that my shirt?"
Slightly looking down at the shirt she was wearing it was undoubtedly Naruto's with a red Uzumaki swirl on the front.
"You left it here from last time you visited." She shrugged.
"Am I ever going to get it back?" He already knew the answer but he was still curious.
"Nope." She said popping the 'p' at the end.
When she was done she had brought his food and drink to him setting it on the table where he sat then sitting on his lap facing towards him and hugging his neck.
"I'm gonna miss you, you know that?" Temari whispered softly.
"Hmmhm I know." He hugged her back then breaking his chopsticks off and going into the grilled fish. They sat in a comfortable silence eating until Temari decided to break it.
"You know I was meaning to ask you, when did you learn all those extra moves, I hope you weren't railing some other woman to get the experience while you were away..." A sly smile coming on Temari's face.
"Well there was this one woman who I haven't seen in a year who gave me plenty of experience before I left besides you don't hang around the world's biggest pervert and not pick up on a few things." A sly smile matching Temari's own.
Naruto shrugged then gave her an innocent look running his fingers along her long smooth creamy legs.
"Hey, can you blame me, I just like trying new things." He said grinning deviously to which Temari just rolled her eyes at him and playfully slapped his shoulder.
"Jackass..." She pouted childishly putting her forehead on his looking at him.
"Bitch.." He retorted softly looking back at those teal pools that dared tempt him touching his nose with hers.
Deciding to stop playing around they kissed slowly and passionately savoring every moment of it never wanting to leave that spot. Naruto grabbed her butt giving it a good squeeze making Temari moan into the kiss tightening her arms around Naruto's neck.
The couple finished eating and then did the dishes. Naruto looked at the clock and it was 9:30. Only a few more hours until he leaves.
Naruto himself wanted to take a shower, he still reeked of the activities from last night.
Walking to the bathroom he took the remaining of his clothes off and turned the shower to just to the perfect temperature for him.
He leaned his head forward getting his hair soaked along the rest of his body. Taking deep breaths in and out felt so relaxing and made him feel at peace as the warm water kept raining on his skin melting with every drop.
There was then the sound of a door opening. Naruto looked to see Temari wrapped in a bath towel, naked.
Dropping the towel she exposed her body to him. No matter how many times he had seen it, her body always enticed him.
She opened the door to the shower getting in behind him.
She traced her hands over his back seeing the litter of scars he received new and old from his traumatic childhood. It pained her heart to see people treat him like that. She gently kissed his back where a deep scar was that looked like it was caused from a lightning justu.
Grabbing a towel from the rack Temari started washing his back while Naruto himself was washing his front. When they repeated the same process with Temari they got out the shower and got dressed.
Once Naruto and Temari got settled they just laid there on Temari's bed just enjoying each other's company before he had to leave.
Naruto was playing with Temari's undone hair while she laid on his chest listening to his heart beating drawing circles on his chest with her finger.
"Hey, Temari?" Asked Naruto.
"Hmm" she lifted her head off his chest and looked directly at him. Her pool teals looking directly into his deep ocean blues in curiosity.
"If there was something in your past you wish you could change...what would it be." Asked Naruto resting his hands on Temari's back.
Temari sighed sadly immediately knowing the answer to his question.
"Not being there for Gaara sooner. That will always be one of my biggest regrets in life. Listening to our piece of shit father about Gaara being a monster. We were so naive and young we helped create the monster our father said he was. Once I realized this the damage was already done then. I cried so many nights on how I could have changed him and he didn't have to turn out the way he did..." she said becoming saddened.
"but then you came along in your stupid orange, the day we invaded saying you could understand how he felt, being in dark and lonely places, after we left Gaara said something to me and Kankuro that we will never forget...'I'm sorry.' You truly did change him that day Naruto." She finished with a small tear rolling down her cheek at the emotional memory.
Naruto cupped her cheeks and wiped the tear from her cheek. Now Temari was never one to let her emotions get the best of her but being around Naruto made her emotional barriers come pouring out.
He was the only one who she let see her like this..and she wanted to keep it that way or she'd kick his ass.
"Temari listen to me...you are not that same naive little girl anymore. You are and have grown into a beautiful woman I have grown to love. Fuck your father and his teachings do what you want to do and I'll still care for you." He kissed her on her forehead, then cheek, and then finally on her lips.
He then looked her directly in the eye and grinned at her.
"So don't cry about it, sometimes unfortunate shit happens in life we have no control over. Until then just know... I'm here for you...and love you..always." He brought her closer resting his chin on the top of her head.
No matter how many times he said it those words made her melt like jelly coming from him. He made her feel so safe and secure around him.
She then looked over to the clock. It was time for him to go.
They sat up and got out the bed. Naruto took a sealing scroll out of his back pocket. Pumping chakra into it with a little poof out came a deep forest green jounin jacket of Konoha.
Temari raised her eyebrow in question. When the hell did he become a Jounin. Most importantly why the hell didn't he tell her!! But she kept her calm posture not letting him see her emotions.
"I see that you became a jounin and didn't tell me out of all the time you've been here..." she smiled a sickly sweet smile that was just so...Temari. Yet in the current situation he quickly shoved those types of thoughts out of his mind.
"Must've slipped my mind." He laughed nervously.
"When did you take it?" She asked.
"Take what?" He acted dumbly knowing Temari quickly saw through his facade.
"The jounin exams Naruto...When. Did. You. Take. It." He mumbled something incoherent but Temari's patience was running thin and didn't want to play this little game anymore.
"Speak up!!" She yelled.
He sweated a swallowed the lump in his throat that had been there since bringing up the topic.
"I may have or have have not took the exams a few months ago in Iwakagure...in disguise of course." He had to get out of this fast...
Temari's eye started twitching up a storm. How could this idiot walk into a nation who hates his father The Yellow Flash more than anything and would kill any man who had blue eyes and yellow hair.
Thinking on his toes he quickly came up with a solution.
"Well look at the time, love you baby, tell Gaara and Kankuro I'll see them later, time to get going bye!" Naruto rushed out his words kissing her then used the Hiraishin to get the hell out of dodge.
Grinding her teeth together Temari yelled the name that was going to make her pissed all day.
"NA-RU-TOOO!!!!"She shouted leaking KI.
While she still loves the baka he always finds someway to piss her off.
~Konohagakure~
~Hokage office~
It was going 11 and Tsunade was waiting impatiently. Though she told Naruto to be here at that exact time she just really wanted to see her little idiot surrogate son again.
Suddenly there was a flash and a big thump sound hitting her desk. Tsunade saw someone's legs sticking up in front of her desk.
"Owww..."
Getting from out the chair Tsunade saw the person she wanted to see ever since Jiraya got back without him.
"NARUTO!!" Tsunade ran in front of the desk and grabbed Naruto in a bear hug suffocating Naruto with her huge bossom.
"H-hello to y-you to b-baachan..." When she finally let him go he was taking deep breath's in and out.
When she finally backed out of the hug and took a good at him.
"By the way you look I'm imagining Temari has to beat other women off of you with a stick."
"More like blow them away with her fan." Naruto chuckled.
"It's good to have you back though Naruto, some people missed you." Tsunade said with a smile.
"Well that's good to know."
"Well I'm guessing your training was fruitful since you were put in the bingo book as an S rank." She said with a sly smile passing Naruto a bingo book.

Tsunade looked up at Naruto impressed at his bounty at a young age.
"What the hell did you do to piss off Orochimaru to get put in his bingo book?" She asked looking at Naruto who was scratching the back of his head sheepishly.
"I just killed a few of his men and got into a little scuffle with him, that's all." Tsunade sighed rubbing her temples. He just got back and he's already causing her headaches.
"By the way would you want me to announce your heritage to the village now or what?" She asked. Now that she thought about it, why the hell would she even ask. The council gives her a big enough headache as it is, especially on the civilian side.
"Meh...if they figure it out they figure it out and I'll raise hell." He said with a fox like grin.
"I'll make the announcement in a few days your welcome to watch if you want to." Tsunade said.
"Maybe I will, but then again I love making people underestimate me it just makes it easier to believe." Naruto said then made a break for the window.
"Damn brat..." mumbled Tsunade with a soft smile on her face.
~Ichiraku ramen~
~20 minutes later~
The walk to Ichiraku's was...interesting to say the least. He got whispers and stares everywhere he went, not the usual hateful stares but something completely different than what he was used to. Some women that he passed by blushed at him calling him a hottie or a god, other people said and occasionally thought he was his father.
"Hey old man! How about you fix me a usual Naruto special I haven't been here in years and I'm starving for some good ramen." Naruto said opening the flaps to the ramen stand.
"Who do you think your calling ol- Naruto my boy! Is that you?" Asked Old man Ichiraku.
"You know it!" Said Naruto taking a seat at the bar.
"So where's Ayame-Neechan?" The blonde asked.
"Oh she's in the back. Hey Ayame-Chan...someone's here to see you!!" Shouted the old man.
"Here I come! So who's here to-NARUTO?!" Said Ayame as a little blush creeped on her face. He had really grown in to a handsome/sexy young man.
He nodded at her and she came over to give the blonde teen a hug.
"Me and Tou-san have missed you Naruto, how have you been?" Asked said letting Naruto out of the hug.
"I've been good. Jiraya-sensei's training was hella intense but worth it" He grinned cheekily.
Naruto stayed there and talked to the Ichiraku's all afternoon and jokes until Naruto decided it quits and head home for a well deserved nap.
On his way home he saw someone he least expected.
"Iruka-sensei!!" Naruto shouted.
"Naruto is that you?" Asked the scarred chunin.
"Yep! I wanted to see you before I went home tonight, glad I found you before then huh." He said smiling at his old teacher.
"Yeah, how bout we catch up tomorrow? It's getting pretty late and I don't want to keep you up all night just talking to me." Iruka suggested.
"No problem at all! Welp see you tomorrow sensei!" Said Naruto walking off.
Iruka turned away from his old student sighing nostalgically.
'You really have grown up Naruto..' thought the chunin turning in for the night.
~Next morning~
~Uzumaki/Senju secret training grounds~
Naruto had been up all morning training his body and flexibility to keep in shape for the upcoming missions he would go on.
He had been fighting his kage bushin in a fierce battle of fast pace taijustu. Once he was done for the morning he went inside to freshen up and fix a quick breakfast.
On his way to the Hokage's tower he had seen Kakashi riding on Gai's back -shutter- Sakura and the rest of Team Gai walking in the village.
"Well hello my youthful comrades, How are you this wonderful morning?" He asked with a shit eating grin plastered on his face.
Everyone on the team ,excluding Gai and Lee who were ranting on how youthful Naruto was, were glaring daggers at Naruto.
"How the hell did you get here before us!?" Screeched Sakura.
Naruto just shrugged innocently and walked with them to Tsunade's with the same shit eating grin.
Kakashi knew exactly how he did it and glared daggers at the little blonde haired bastard for making him suffer the way he did.
~Hokage's office~
~15 minutes later~
They'd finally reached the Hokage's office at the slow snail pace they were going. The team except Naruto was dead tired that they could barely stand on their feet.
"Mission completed Tsunade-sama." Said Kakashi and Gai at the same time.
"Shishou before Sasori died he shared with me he had an informant in Orochimaru's ranks. In five days from now they will be meeting at Tenchi Bridge at Noon. Orochimaru himself will be there himself too." Sakura then added.
"Hm, Team Gai dismissed, Team Kakashi you stay." Team Gai left waving their youthful goodbyes leaving just the rest of Team Kakashi and the Hokage in her office.
"Since Kakashi will be out of commission for a while I have a perfect more experienced replacement jonin to lead you guys as well as another teammate." Tsunade said looking at the one eyed cyclops who was barely awake.
"Who's our teammate?" Asked Naruto.
"You'll find out tomorrow when you two meet the other two at the gates eight o'clock on the dot. Dismissed, and you guys take Kakashi to the hospital." With that Team Kakashi left and Naruto took Kakashi to the hospital.
~Next morning~
~Village gates~
Sakura and Naruto arrived at the village gate just in time to see two other people come there too.
A man with brown hair took the liberty to introduce himself first. "My name is Yamato and I'll be the replacement for Kakashi-senpai." Everyone else introduced themselves including the weird pale boy named Sai, who kept calling Naruto dickless and Sakura a banshee.
"Hello, my name is Sai. Nice to meet you Dickless, banshee." He said with a fake smile nodding towards Naruto then Sakura.
Not even a minute on the team and the two original members of team 7 wanted to kill him.
After Yamato split up the rowdy teens they made their way to Tenchi Bridge.
~Four days later~
~Tenchi Bridge~
"Alright we're here, since you two have already met Sasori and knows what he looks, acts, and sounds like you can help me get into character." Yamato said as he uses wood style to create his disguise.
"That's what he looks like but just make you voice deadlier and grave like you mean business." Said Naruto.
"Like this?" Yamato asked voice deep but not deep enough.
"Go an octave lower." Said Sakura.
"How about now?" He asked sounding exactly like Sasori.
"Perfect." Naruto said.
"Listen we are going up against an S-ranked criminal and his right hand man that's is Kakashi's level they will be on alert so we need to handle this carefully. I'm going to split us up into teams. Sakura and Naruto and Sai will be by himself keeping a lookout. No one is to make a move before I give the signal. Let's move out." Yamato said.
The three teens jumped away and Yamato went to the main road that lead to the bridge keeping an eye out everywhere. Naruto, Sakura, and Sai all got into position hiding their chakra signatures and waiting for the spy to show.
Naruto then sensed two chakra signatures coming both were hidden well but they also felt very malevolent.
One of the two chakra signatures was hiding himself better than the other.
He then turned and whispered to Sakura.
"There's two chakra signatures, this might be a setup."
"Is it Orochimaru?" She asked.
"Maybe, he's keeping his chakra hidden well. Let's see how this turns out." Naruto said.
"Right we need to stay on guard." Naruto gave Sakura a 'No shit Sherlock' look and went back to watching Yamato.
It didn't take much time for the guy to show up after the team had got done setting up.
The man was covered from head to toe in a black cloak to hide any features that could be recognizable. Naruto knew he had felt the mans chakra signature before, he's just where.
Naruto then widened his eyes in realization.
'Fuck! It's a setup and that man is Kabuto..I can't even do anything until Yamato gives his signal...' It was too late to warn Yamato so he just watched from the shadows waiting for any type of signal from Yamato.
He watched in silence as Yamato and Kabuto came in contact. Shut was going to hit the fan, and very soon.
"We're you followed?" Yamato asked in Sasori's grave voice.
"No it's safe." Kabuto replied promptly.
"Hmm...how are you?"
"A bit weird since I've been released from that justu you used on me a bit overwhelming." Kabuto answered.
"Anyways ask what you need I risked my life getting here and avoiding Orochimaru is already hard enough." Kabuto said.
"Hmm Tell me about Sasuke Uchiha, where is he." Yamato asked.
"He's in a hideout near the land of water up north we will move in about four days."
"Sasori-sama I've done what you've asked me to do..." Kabuto said slightly nervous.
'Shit...I don't know what he's talking about..'
Suddenly Orochimaru appeared right behind the silver haired medical nin ready to stab him. Quick to his reflexes Yamato pulled out a kunai and quickly deflected the Snake Sannin's attack from the medical ninja.
"My, my isn't this a surprise Id thought I would see that Kyuubi brat since he wants his 'brother' back."
"I had felt a bit of his chakra earlier, but I guess he decided to be smart for once and run off like the little runt he is." Orochimaru taunted.
"Tsk..says the man who had a hard time keeping up last time" Kurama said.
"Actually I'm still here and your a little late on your information, I couldn't give two shits about Sasuke the next time I see him I'd rather put him in a body bag." Snarled the slightly annoyed Naruto.
This bit of information caught Orochimaru a bit off guard. He always thought the brat would run after Sasuke. True Sasuke didn't care about the blonde haired brat but nonetheless still a bit surprising.
Kabuto then activated his chakra scalpel and tried to attack Yamato. Then before he could process what was happening Kabuto was kicked back into four trees and had a rough landing on the fifth tree.
He looked back up to who kicked him and was a bit surprised when he saw Naruto who was glaring at him with a deadly look in his eye.
Orochimaru smirked and looked at the blonde haired brat.
"Kukuku...Jiraya taught you well brat you would have made a nice vessel if you didn't have the kyuubi in you..oh well I guess we can't all have what we want." He then went straight up to Sakura and knocked her out with a punch sending her down hitting her head on some rocks in the process.
"Sakura!!" Yamato yelled.
'Naruto is powerful even without the Kyuubi's chakra. Danzo-sama will be pleased I found out this information.' Thought Sai as he pulled out a scroll.
"Sakura!! Can you hear me?!" Yamato asked/yelled.
"Sai! Get her!!" Yamato yelled but Sai just ran right pass them.
"Shit!" Naruto ran and got Sakura carrying her bridal style to a safe place. Once he laid her down on a soft patch of leaves he went back to help Yamato.
"Kukuku...let's see who's stronger. You or Sasuke."
'I can't use any of my ninjutsu he might recognize them from our last fight...well I guess I can just do Taijustu then..' Naruto then got into a stance that was oddly familiar to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru then closed the distance between him and Naruto coming at Naruto with a punch to his face. Naruto blocked it and kicked the Snake Sannin right in his thigh.
Naruto the discreetly made a clone and it kicked at Orochimaru's head. When his foot made contact with Orochimaru's head his foot was met with a mud clone.
"That fool Jiraya certainly has taught you something over the years Naruto-kun. Would you care to show me more?" He said with a creepy snake like grin his voice circulating from everywhere but with Naruto's Sensing he could easily find him if he concentrated enough.
"No thank you I don't swing that way, but I'm sure you can ask Sasuke and he'll definitely let you have a go." Orochimaru's eyes twitched a little from where he was but still had that snake like grin plaster on his face.
At the last minute Naruto saw Orochimaru's head coming at him at high speeds with the Kusanagi no Tsurugi sword in his mouth.
With a hidden smirk on Naruto's face the sword stabbed him through the gut but then the Sannin eyes widened when 'Naruto' Exploded and Orochimaru caught in the fire.
Knowing he wasn't dead Naruto was still kept up his guard waiting for Orochimaru next move.
What Naruto saw next disgusted the shit out of him. Hands were coming out of the Sannin's mouth spreading it like a snake shedding its skin and fluids on him that just looked ew...
"That's so fucking disgusting..." Naruto mumbled as he than ran to charge at the Sannin.
Orochimaru just licked his lips wanting to see more of what his foolish teammate taught the blonde brat.
Naruto ran at Orochimaru doing single hand seals to a justu that was unrecognizable to the occupants of the area.
"Fuuton: Winds of chains! "
Five chains made of wind shot out from Naruto and were headed at high speeds towards Orochimaru. The chains themselves wrapped tight around him making where he couldn't move.
When he tried to spit out another body he couldn't even do that.
'What the hell is this?!' Orochimaru practically screeched in his mind.
Naruto smirked at his trapped victim. Adding along with Katon justu he just wanted the snake man to burn a bit.
"Arhgn.." The Sannin grunted he had to get out of here. This brat had made him spit out more bodies than needed and he'll be damned before he let another blonde haired bastard beat him again.
"Kabuto let's go." Orochimaru said simply with Kabuto coming to his side. He then gave one last grin to Naruto before he left in a shunshin of leaves.
"Well that was...interesting to say the least." Said Naruto dusting himself off. Yamato sighed nodding his head agreeing to what was said.
"Urg.. what the hell happened..." asked a slightly stumbling Sakura who had just woken up from hitting her head earlier.
"You were attacked by Orochimaru and ended up hitting your head on some rocks." Yamato said. Sakura nodded then looked down in slight disappointment that she had been taken out rather fast while her teammates were up and fighting. Now that she thought about where was her other teammate.
"Hey where's Sai?" Sakura asked.
Naruto gave Yamato a pointed look. "Don't play dumb now Captain I know you also saw Sai give something to Orochimaru."
"I don't know, my clone wasn't able to see from where it was at, but it looked like a folder he handed Kabuto and just left with him." Yamato said.
Naruto gave a 'hm' of acknowledgement then spotting some stuff behind a tree. He went towards it and recognized this as Sai's things.
Sakura and Yamato walked up behind him to look at the scattered stuff in the ground.
"These are all Sai's things. Why would he leave his picture book. It doesn't make any sense."
"Kit your teammate is a fucking idiot." Kurama stated bluntly.
'I couldn't agree with you more.' Naruto sighed mentally.
"How are we going to find Orochimaru's now and how can we get back Sasuke-kun." Naruto's eye twitched, she still was stuck in that traitor. Naruto had always seen Sasuke's true colors even before the massacre. He had always been an arrogant, stuck up, emo son of a bitch that would forever stick stuck up his ass.
"I have a solution." Naruto put his hands to his mouth and whistles chirping like a bird.
The group heard rustling in the leaves behind them in the bushes and out came a black male fox about the size of what Akamaru look now.
"This is Taeko he can smell and track any and everything hell, he can even sense chakra signatures. He just as good if not better than an inuzuka ninken." Naruto said giving with Taeko yipping in confirmation and smelling Sai's things.
"Why didn't you use him before during the incident with the Kazekage and Akatsuki?" Sakura asked.
"I was somewhere else before I came to Konoha he didn't know I was back yet." Naruto shrugged giving Taeko an ear rub.
"Alright lead the way." Yamato said running following behind Taeko and Naruto with Sakura following.
