As I am writing this I am listening to Kendrick Lamar. Since he dropped I only hope the goat himself, Lil Wayne drops something new.

On a different topic. It is 2022 and I still get people telling me Itachi could beat Madara. We all know Madara would stomp Itachi. I feel like people only say that because every time Itachi pops up, he doesn't lose and seems to win with ease.

Anyways, on to the story

I don't own anything I may use


Chunin exams

"Who is ready for the chunin exams?!"

Team 8 stared at their sensei who had a bright smile and flyers in her hands. Shino said nothing and only pushed up his shades. Hinata took the papers and gave them to her teammates.

"I am ready." Hinata felt confident in her power right now, especially that Naruto was back and her team was completed.

"I am definitely more ready than I was last time." Naruto thought while remembering how he was not prepared at all for the chunin exams in his past. It was a good thing he had Kurama to help him out back there or he would have been a goner.

"You got that right." Kurama said with clear amusement towards Naruto. He might have been stronger than most of the genin who attended but anyone who was above that, he struggled.

"Yea, We will crush the exams and make you proud sensei." Naruto put his arms around his two teammates and grinned towards Kurenai.

Kurenai smiled at her team, glad to see that all was back to normal and they could finally go back on mission. She could see that the team just wasn't the same without Naruto leading them effectively. As much as it hurt her pride, She had to admit. Naruto was the leader of the team. He could think of plans on the spot and lead them effectively as if he had been doing it for years.

"Let's take a picture to remember this moment forever." Kurenai pulled out a camera and set it up. She got behind them and smiled along with her team. Even Shino's lips twisted upwards. The camera flashed and the picture was taken. Kurenai walked over to the picture and flapped it in the air so it could dry off.

"Make sure you send us this picture, Ok Sensei." Naruto said.

"Don't worry Naruto, I will give you all a copy."

"Alright." Naruto then turned to Shino and grinned. Shino was put on edge by that grin Naruto sent him. "Why don't you show me what kind of training you've put in?" Naruto got in his fighting style. He would use Kyokushin Karate.

Shino would admit, He was a little scared. It was no secret that he was the worst at hand to hand on the team and Naruto was the best on the team and maybe in the village but he would have to see him battle Might Guy. Shino gathered his courage and got into his clan's fighting stance. It was mostly a style meant to block and allow bugs to crawl on the enemy. That wouldn't work on Naruto though, So he would have to use every trick in the book.

Naruto saw Shino get ready and smirk. It seems as if he not only got stronger but his confidence did as well. When they first meet up, Shino wouldn't even think of fighting him. Naruto then saw a 6 inch dagger drop from Shino's coat and land right in his hand. He could see that there seemed to be a clear liquid dripping from the blade. "So he uses a poisoned blade in close quarters to make up for his weakness at hand to hand. Smart, but poison won't work on me."

Naruto then dashed towards Shino at speeds fast enough for Shino to track. It was enough for Shino to be able to keep up but too fast enough to make him go at his max speed. Naruto blocked a side slash from Shino's dagger and went for a straight to Shino's face. Managing to barely dodge that punch, Shino stepped to Naruto's side and tried to land a body shot to Naruto but using great speed, Naruto moved to the side and looped his arm in Shino's and spun off his back bringing Shino into the air and slamming him into the ground.

Shino got back to his feet in an instant and dodged a stomp for Naruto that would have surely broken some ribs if the way the ground broke apart was anything to go by. Shino made his way back to Naruto and threw multiple punches that Naruto blocked or parried which left the Aburame wide open which Naruto took every chance to capitalize on causing Shino to feel his whole skeletal system shake from the strength of Naruto's blows.

Shino managed to put his hands up and block the shots of Naruto which left his hands feeling numb. Shino struck out with a fast uppercut to Naruto's chin. He was not expecting it to do nothing and Naruto to spin around and give him a kick which he blocked but still was sent flying across the training field.

Naruto put his leg down slowly and stared at where Shino was with a smile. "You did improve, but you still have a long way to go. Take pride in your skills and know that you have worked hard to attain such strength." The statement made Shino smile behind his overcoat. He would take Naruto's words to heart. Kurenai and Hinata smiled at the motivational words of their teammate/student. He always knew what to say to boost people's spirits up.

The moment was broken when a purple haired anbu landed in the field. She sent a small nod towards Kurenai who was her friend.

She took notice of what was going on and guessed a spar just finished. That was when she noticed Naruto turn his gaze towards her. The women got a good look at the young blonde who had shaken the village up. He was handsome and his blonde hair that was at his shoulder blades blew in the wind. Those crystal blue eyes that shined with power and kindness but could easily turn cold and unforgiving with the flip of a switch. His sharp jawline gave him a chiseled look to his mature posture. He stood tall and proud as if the world could not bring him down, but she had no idea that the world rested on his back.

Under her mask she blushed from the sight of the handsome young man. She quickly snapped herself from that train of thought. There was already a man waiting for her when she got home. "The hokage and council request your presence immediately." Yugao told Naruto who nodded back towards her.

"Okay you guys I will catch up with you later." Naruto said and left in a body flicker. Yugao followed him to the chambers.

Council chambers

The room was filled with the civilians yelling in panic and worry about what was going down. They were worried about how much money they would lose and if they would make it out alive.

The clan heads were in the same boat but were doing a much better job at hiding it. This would be their first time in a war since the 3rd great ninja war. They had to go home and warn their clan members about the upcoming battle that would take place.

Hiruzen was watching all of this go bye with a tired gaze. The place was more like a cafeteria with a bunch of little kids. He couldn't believe that they would all lose their shit like this when someone told them they would be attacked. He was also disappointed in his clan heads. As much as they tried to hide it, the old hokage could see the panic stretch across some of their faces.

Danzo just watched with hidden satisfaction at the turn of events. He would take this chance to take the position of hokage for himself and rule the leaf village how he wanted and nobody would stop him from doing so. He would start by putting the nine tails in its place and making him loyal to himself only. He had to give credit to the blonde for going above and beyond and getting such great intel on the enemy's plan. If anything he was loyal to the village but he'd be better if he was loyal to himself. Danzo had tried years before to try and capture Naruto but the elusive blonde always seemed to kill his agents and even made the Hyuga kill them as well.

Everyone stopped when they felt a pressure press down on their shoulders. The civilians went stiff at the raw power being displayed. The clan heads snapped their heads towards the door. Some got ready to take action if it was needed and even Shikaku raised his head and looked towards the door with anxiety. The hokage looked towards the door and tilted his head down to hide his smile. The young ninja always knew how to bring attention to himself.

The doors opened revealing it was Naruto Uzumaki, a genin of the village hidden in the leaves but right now, they didn't see a genin. The power was coming from the genin and they all could see a semblance of an older version of the blonde behind him who was giving them all a stern gaze. The clan heads felt like they should get up and bow to the young man.

"What is it Hokage? I was catching up with my team." Naruto asked looking at Hiruzen who held a straight face.

"I have called you here for your opinion on what we should do for this upcoming war. Also, some members of the council wish to know how you were able to get such detailed information." Hiruzen gave his reply in a serious tone and stern face.

"Not to be rude hokage-sama, but why are we asking a mere child for his input about a war? He has never seen such things and has no idea what it is like." Inoichi asked, standing from his seat.

Naruto turned to see who said that. It was Ino's father. Naruto remembered he died in the war from the 10 tails. He was a big help during the war in spreading information to everyone. Naruto would use this in order to have him help in this upcoming invasion. However, right now they were down playing him.

"It does not matter if I have seen war or not, What matters is that I give you valid information and plans that will bring us victory in this upcoming battle." Naruto was a little heated at his words but couldn't blame the man. He had no idea of the words he spoke.

Not expecting the young boy to snap back at him, Inoichi took a second to gaze at Naruto. He met the boy's steely blue eyes and felt like he should place his trust in the young genin.

"Now, stop acting as if you have never experienced battle before! To be in here yelling and worrying about money you will lose is down right stupid when your life is on the line. We are the members of the village hidden in the leaves! the strongest hidden village! to show weakness in a situation like this would only prove to the other villages we are not worthy of our title and will cause them to try and capitalize on that. Is that what you want?!" Naruto stomped his foot on the ground and like an explosion, the chambers were caked in Naruto's powerful chakra. His power gave them all a burst of courage and determination to see they live through this. The clan heads got to their feet and yelled their answer.

"NO!" It was then they realized they had their hands to their chest and were looking towards Naruto as if he was their leader. Naruto was only smiling with pride. He hopes they got the message and got back to training. The hokage was surprised that Naruto was able to rally his council together in such a way, acting as if he was some kind of hokage. Even the civilians were standing and he could see Danzo silently appraising the boy.

"Now as for my opinion on what we should do. We shall set up measures to counter everything they do and our first move will be to eliminate there big plan of releasing the one tails." Naruto finished and let his words settle in.

"And how do we do that?" Hiashi asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I can fix his seal." Naruto said simply.

"And how could a child like you fix the seal of a jinchuriki? They don't teach that in the academy." Danzo spoke up. If he could get one of his root agents to place a loyalty seal on the jinchuriki he would have a loyal weapon.

Naruto simply smirked and shook his head. "You old fool, you just don't get it do you?" Naruto said looking at Danzo directly.

"And just what don't I get?" Danzo asked. He was irritated that this child who knew nothing of the world call him a fool.

"Times have changed, it is time for new generation to take over. You are now old and unfit to be a ninja, let alone hokage." As Naruto was talking he covered his hand in chakra and started to write seals in mid-air to the amazement of everyone in the room. "This is something that even the top seal master Jiraiya can't do." Naruto finished his seal drawing with a flick of the wrist. It was a simple storage seal that was advanced.

"That's amazing, when did you learn such abilities?" The hokage asked in wonder. The last person he saw do this was Mito Uzumaki.

"At a young age. I simply went into this destroyed timple with a red swirl on it." A look towards Hiruzen was all that need to be said. The hokage flinched at the look. There was nothing that needed to be said. In truth, Hiruzen forgot about the Uzumaki temple. It had been so long since he visited the place and he planned to tell Naruto when he was an adult.

"Why have you been hiding these skills? It would have been best if you spoke up about this." Choza, the leader of the akimichi spoke up.

"A ninja must not reveal all his secrets." Naruto replied with a foxy smile. He wiped his smile away and got serious once again. "The main part of this invasion is to kill you old man."

"I know and I am prepared to give my life for this village." Hiruzen said in a resolute tone.

Naruto would like to save the old man but he was sure that Hiruzen wanted to die fighting his student and he could tell that much from the look in his eyes. "If that's the case, we shall use you as bait and lure in Orochimaru."

Everyone gasps out in shock at what the genin just said. To use the hokage as a pawn was crazy. Hiruzen only blinked and started to laugh. To think he has fallen so low, a genin would use him as bait.

"And what would be this plan?" Hiruzen asked, coming down from his laughter.

Naruto put his right palm out and white flames lit to life on his fingertips. "Uzumaki flame formation." Naruto quickly blew out the flame. "I will place this over the barrier that he set's up around you so that way he will be trapped and not able to escape."

"That is a good plan, we both will be stuck along with his guards who will set up the barrier." Hiruzen said with a nod of the head.

"If needed I can also come in and assist you in your battle." Naruto said, offering his hand in battle. But he knew what Hiruzen would say.

"I appreciate the gesture, But I must be the one to defeat my student. I will get back into training so when he shows up, I will be able to put up a better fight."

Naruto simply nodded with a sad smile, already knowing how the battle would turn out. "Now as for the rest of the village. Inoichi will use his mind transfer jutsu to get messages and on the fly plans across the battlefield. I will set up my own summoning circles around the walls of the village to combat the snake summoning. It would be better if you could tell the toad sannin to come back and use his toads." Everyone nodded at that statement, Having the toad sage back in the village would be a big help.

"What about the Sand village? We know they are being controlled, but what the hell are we gonna do about it?!" Tsume asked, which seemed to bring everyone back to the problem about the sand village.

"You should call in the jounin of the sand team and just tell him that we know about the invasion. He will immediately freak out and try to deny it. If you are able to convince him that what they are doing will only lead to their downfall and if they help us, we will be sure to leave this in the past." Naruto told everyone in the council. It was as if he already had these planned out.

"Are you saying we should bring them to our side?" Shikaku asked.

"Yes, They will surely be upset when they realize they have been fooled, after all the enemy of my enemy is my friend." Naruto gave his reply to the Nara clan head.

"Now I have given all I have to give, I will be going now." Naruto told them all not caring if they wanted him to stay or not. He snapped his fingers and disappeared in the wind that came out of nowhere.

Leaving the members of the council to sit in silence for a moment. They were surprised that this boy just dismissed himself. Not even Hiruzen was expecting Naruto to do something like that. He chuckled to himself a little bit. Naruto really was the most unpredictable ninja.

This was when Inoichi spoke up and had a confused face. "Did we really just take war plans and orders from a mere genin."

"Yes we did, but it is clear he is no mere genin." Shikaku placed his head back on the desk. He had some thinking to do about all the things that were coming to light.

"If I am not careful, He might take my position as hokage?" Hiruzen said with a laugh drawing the attention of everyone to him.

"Hokage-sama! You don't really mean that do you?!" Tsume asked, rising from her seat.

"You saw it too, didn't you? He had you all on your feet. He has the power, leadership capabilities and he has shown a great mind." as Hiruzen was speaking he did not see Danzo grip his cane tighter. This could not be allowed and the boy would have to be taken care of.

Streets

Naruto appeared in the wind in front of Hinata and Shino. "Sup guys." Naruto threw them a wave.

Hinata smiled back and walked up and grabbed his hand and placed his arm around her shoulder and began to walk off. "So everything went fine." Hinata said.

"Yes, they just wanted my opinion on a matter about the chunin exams." Naruto responded

"Why would they want the opinion of a little genin?" Shino asked, Not understanding why a genin's input would actually matter.

Naruto only turned and gave Shino a foxy smirk. "Because I am totally kick ass." Naruto would wait to tell his team of the on coming attack, He was sure Kurenai would tell them all once a meeting was held and she was given plans.

"Where did our sensei go?" Naruto asked.

"She went to go and 'chat' with her 'friend Asuma-sensei'." Hinata said with air quotes and laughed to herself at the end which also caused Naruto to laugh and Shino to lightly chuckle.

"Big brother Naruto!" The group turned their heads to see the Konohamaru core running towards them.

"Sup you guys!" Naruto said, giving them all a smile. Before he was tackled to the ground by the kids.

"You made us so worried!" Konohamaru yelled and began to rapidly hit Naruto on the chest."

"Yea we thought you had died!" Moegi said with tears in the corner of her eyes.

"I was so worried, my nose stopped running!" Udon said and blew his nose in a random rag he grabbed from somewhere.

Naruto seeing the kids were really upset and hurt by his actions brought them all into a hug. "I am sorry for making you all worry so much."

The kids hugged him back and all smiled. "We forgive you big brother Naruto!" The kids said with bright smiles.

Hinata was looking at this and started to smile. "He's so good with kids, Naruto-kun would make a great father." Hinata than imagining a kid with blonde hair and whisker marks along with Naruto's blue eyes and another girl with her midnight hair and blue eyes along with cute whisker marks. Hinata's face then became red. "In order to have kids we would need t-to." Hinata started to imagine all kinds of things her and Naruto would do.

Shino watched as Hinata placed her hands on her face and steam came from her ears. She then began to sway from left and right until she fainted. He could only sweat drop at his friend's antics.

"Can we play Ninja now Naruto!" Konohamaru asked with stars in his eyes along with the other kids.

"You bet!" Naruto got to his feet and was about to tell the kids what they would be doing.

"A ninja playing ninja, That's stupid." A mocking voice said.

"Boy, how was I in love with her?" Naruto thought with a face palm. He then turned around to face Sakura. "Actually Sakura, This game is training. It helps with stamina, Hiding, and being able to form plans in an instant."

"Yea! So get lost ugly!" Konohamaru shouted while pointing a finger at the girl.

"Yea! That's why your chest is flat and it makes you look like a boy!" Mogei yelled next to her friend.

"And you have such a fat forehead!" Udon stepped up and got into some of the action himself.

Naruto was on the side laughing along with Shino who was chuckling inside his coat. Naruto slapped Hinata's face a few times to wake her up. The girl opened her eyes and blinked a couple of times.

"Naruto-kun." Hinata said sitting up.

"Yup, You had one of your episodes again." Naruto said with a teasing smirk on his face making HInata blush in embarrassment and to slap his chest lightly.

"It's your fault." Hinata tried to push the blame onto Naruto. Next thing they knew was 3 kids ran away screaming and Sakura was chasing the kids.

"Sakura-san is quite upset." Shino spoke with his hands in his pocket.

"Yea, this is good training for the kids." Naruto said and got to his feet and pulled Hinata up with him.

They then heard the kids yelling on the other side and Naruto already knew what was going to happen. It was his second time around the block after all. Team 8 went to go and check out what was happening and not to the surprise of Naruto, He could see the sand siblings and Kankuro holding the hokage's grandson up.

"Bro!" Udon yelled and ran to him along with Mogei. "You have to help Kono!"

"Relax, Everything will be just fine." Naruto said and walked over towards Kankuro gaining the attention of Sakura and the sand siblings.

"Oh great, more brats." Kankuro said with a roll of the eye. There seemed to be no end to these leaf ninja.

Temari was having different thoughts though. "Oh my god, He's hot!"

"Why don't you put him down and nobody get's hurt." Naruto tried to give a warm smile to let them know he meant no harm.

"Why don't you make me!" Kankuro said with a challenging smirk on his face. Naruto then narrowed his eyes towards Kankuro which made the boy a little nervous from the attitude switch. A pebble then hit Kankuro in the side of his face drawing his attention to the tree where Sasuke Uchiha was tossing up another rock and had a small smirk.

"You should just put the kid down before things turn dark for you." Sasuke had his higher than I smirk on his face.

"You brat! You're going down!" Kankuro threw Konohamaru to the side and reached for the weapon on his back, making Temari widen her eyes.

"Warned you." Naruto said and appeared in front of the cat suit wearing boy in an instant. Naruto threw a right punch which connected with his jaw and knocked Kankuro out in an instant.

"Why you!" Temari reached behind her and tried to pull out her giant fan but was stopped when she felt something on her neck.

"I wouldn't do that if I was you." The emotionless tone of Shino said behind Temari with his poisoned dagger under her chin.

"I didn't see him move! How are they so fast!" Temari yelled with shock inside her mind.

"Good job Sasuke, Now tell your friend to come down." Naruto said with a smile towards Sasuke who was confused until he looked to his side and saw a red haired boy hanging upside down next to him.

The boy left from the tree in a swirl of sand and appeared on the street with a blank gaze. He was a little curious as to why Naruto was smiling at him like that. As if they had been friends for such a long time.

"My Name is Gaara Subaku and I am sorry for the way my siblings acted." Gaara said in his raspy tone of voice.

"Don't worry about it." Naruto said and walked towards Gaara who readied his sand for anything if he tried something. Naruto just walked closer to Gaara as if he didn't see the warning. The blonde was right in front of Gaara who had wide eyes because the sand was not protecting him. His eyes got even wider when he felt Naruto wrap him in a hug. "Don't worry buddy, I'll fix you right up." Naruto disappeared in a body flicker to a hidden training ground.

Temari's eyes were wide from what just happened. "Where did you take my brother!" She jumped away from Shino who just let her go.

"He is going to talk to him since they share a similar beast." Hinata told Temari in a calm tone. She didn't like calling Kurama a beast since he wasn't some mindless creature who destroyed everything.

Temari's eyes widened at that. If he did something to the already weak seal, it would no doubt mess up the plans they had for the leaf village.

Training ground

Naruto appeared with Gaara in the field he would bring Hinata. Naruto jumped back because Gaara unleashed a wave of sand to crush him.

"Calm down Gaara, I just want to help you!" Naruto had to quickly move again. It seemed Gaara was in a little shock right now and would take a few punches and nice words to get him right.

"How, How did you get past my defense?!" Gaara brought his arms up and a tidal wave of sand approached Naruto casting a giant shadow on the training ground.

Naruto stopped running and just looked towards the approaching sand coming towards him. "I'll just make this quick." Naruto said and white fire roared to life off his body. Naruto commanded the flames to go forwards and clash with the sand. The flames quickly over took the killer sand causing Gaara to widen his eyes at the turn of events. This was the first time someone had ever overpowered his sand with such ease. When the flames were about to make contact with Gaara they dispelled allowing Gaara to see his once proud sand looking like a giant glass sculpture. He then saw Naruto dive bomb off the top and fall towards him with his fist cocked. Gaara closed his eyes expecting to suffer the same fate as his brother.

A soft hand landed on his head. He opened his eyes and saw Naruto giving him a warm smile. Naruto ruffled his hair a bit. "Don't worry little man, I'll take care of everything." Next thing Gaara knew was darkness. Naruto laid Gaara on his back and lifted up his shirt so he could see the seal. "Holy fuck! This is horrible." Naruto placed his hand on Gaara's seal and found himself in the mindscape of Gaara. It was a desert wasteland which had giant sand tornadoes all over the place with sand going on for miles.

"What are you doing here human!" An angry psychotic voice said. Naruto then turned his head and saw the giant form of Shukaku rise from the ground.

"What's up pal!" Naruto waved a hand to the giant sand spirit.

"You are the vessel of that stupid fox! I am definitely going to kill you!"

Naruto sighed. He forgot how annoying dealing with Shukaku could be at times. "Look, can we not do this, I only want to help you."

"As if I'd need any help from you! Just die stupid human!" The demonic sand spirit launched a massive wave of sand towards Naruto who only sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Honestly, why do I even try talking things through? They just want to kill me." Naruto activated Realmheart and quickly used Static void, making all time stop. "Well would you look at that, It even works here." Naruto moved out of the way of the sand and jumped up to Shukaku's head so he could look him in the eyes.

Naruto deactivated Static void and watched as Shukaku's eyes widened in shock at Naruto just appearing in front of him like that. "How did he get there so fast?!"

"Now, I want to help you and Gaara. So just listen to me." Naruto said in a serious tone. He had things to do and did not want to be here all day.

"Fine! What do you have in mind?"

"Great!" Naruto gave a happy smile and sat down cross legged. "Now, I will fix this seal so it will become more comfortable for both of you. I will also make it to where you can't just run your mouth off to him unless he lets you. You have tormented him long enough and he deserves to relax now." Naruto said with narrowed eyes to Shukaku when he saw the raccoon was going to say something which stopped him. "I want you two to become friends and help each other out. Like me and Kurama." Naruto finished with a soft smile.

Shukaku was shocked that this human was able to learn the name of that stubborn fox. Not to mention his power feels similar to the old sage making him feel a little nostalgic.

"What are you hoping to gain from all of this?"

"I am hoping to gain a friend and ally in you and Gaara. I wish for the both of you to help me in my quest for world peace."

Once again. Shukaku was shocked by the white haired boy in front of him. That was something his father had said a long time ago. He also remembered his dad saying something about a person who would one day come and bring them all together.

"Fine, I will alow it just this once. But don't think this will make us friends!"

Naruto simply chuckled and got out of his transformation. "Awww, come on! We were having a bro moment."

"GET OUT!"

Naruto left the mindscape with his laughter echoing in the sandy desert.

Outside, Naruto appeared and pulled out some ink and brush. Making a seal to hold a biju was child's play for him. He simply applied an 8 trigram seal on Gaara since he had the most knowledge on that one considering it was the one he had. Once Naruto finished he created a shadow clone and had it send Gaara to his siblings.

Naruto left for his home where he hoped Hinata was. They had the first part of the exams tomorrow along with the forest of death which would be very chaotic for everyone.

Apartment

Naruto appeared in the living room and kicked his shoes off and walked to the room he shared with his girlfriend. It was very quiet and he wondered what Hinata was doing. Naruto walked over to his door and saw Hinata on the bed with a red face and steam pouring off her body.

"What is she doing?" Naruto looked closer at what Hinata was reading and saw it was the familiar orange book of Icha Icha. He had to suppress a gasp of shock. He remembered Hinata was a secret freak from their past love making in his other life. Naruto wiped some blood from his nose remembering how Hinata loved to talk dirty. She may have been all shy and proper in public but behind closed doors she could get really wild and due to her not being as shy in this life. He stopped before things got out of hand. She was still too young for any of that.

It seems she was so engrossed in the book she couldn't even notice him. He would take this chance to prank her. Walking behind Hinata who still didn't notice, he had a wide smirk on his face.

"So what cha reading?"

Hinata immediately shot up making a cute eep. She hit her head on the ceiling knocking her back to the bed with a large bump on her head and Naruto caught the book.

"Ohh, I didn't know you were so perverted Hina-chan."

The mentioned girl turned a shade of red she hadn't been in a long time. "N-n-n-naruto-kun, I-I-I-I can e-explain."

"No need to explain Hinata-chan, We can do some of these things if you want." Naruto was on top of Hinata and whispering in her ear. He gave her neck a suck and kiss leaving a hickey. Hinata couldn't take it and passed out with a nosebleed.

Naruto chuckled to himself at getting her all worked up. He tucked her in bed and sat down so he could do some training in his mindscape. He was doing some training in the shape of fighting all the past versions of himself. He was currently fighting himself when he fought against pain. It wasn't going well though. He had been getting his ass beat for the past 2 months. He didn't give up though, This was all part of his training to become the strongest once more.
