Chapter 9: Training Continues and the Bridge


Kakashi had just finished explaining to Tazuna's family about why Satsuki disguised herself as a boy. "As you can tell, Satsuki was pretty much afraid of revealing herself as a female. The CRA was originally was suppose to be from good intentions as it was made by the Second Hokage after the First has passed, but as the years passed, the Civilian Council of our village had basically ignored most of it and went to the extremes with it just so that any and all rare or valuable bloodlines won't go extinct." He concluded.

To the explanation, Tazuna had lost any and all desire to drink and alcohol after hearing that as he gave a disgusted look while Tsunami covered her mouth as if she was about to throw up from the inhuman act against the females will. "I can now understand why she went to the extreme like she did. . ." The older man muttered with a disgust.

Tsunami's body then began to shiver in pure contempt at the mere idea of it. "How could they do that to a poor girl like her!? Wanting to force her to have children at around her age! And never again be allowed to be free of things like love!" She then questioned as tears were about to flow from her eyes.

Meanwhile, Inari tilted his head in confusion as he didn't understand even half of what the jonin had just explain, then gave her mother a puzzled expression while he tilted his head to the side. "But mommy, I thought you said that babies come from the stork?" He then innocently asked.

Instantly, Tsunami began to blush dark as she just remembered that her son was in the room and his father began to laugh at his embarrassed daughter. "Um. . .well. . .uh. . .You're too young to understand now Inari. . .um. . . why don't we go hang the wet clothing!" She struggled out, blushing furiously as she pulled her very confused son towards the other side of the house.

Once the little boy was out of the sight Tsunami and Kakashi as they sighed in relief as her father continue laughing. Which was rewarded by a smack by said daughter via frying pan as she left to help out her son.

Naruto soon came in after finishing the sit-ups, he looked around and saw the sighing jonin and the hurting bridge builder. "Ok. . .what I miss?" He asked when he saw the mother leave. "And why was she angry?" He added.

Tazuna had finished rubbing his sore head as he turn to the blond. "She went to take Inari to hang up the wet laundry . .after he asked about the stork. . ." He explain.

Naruto sweat-dropped at that before he chuckled for a bit. "That must had been awkward." He thought to himself.

"No kidding kit. . .that every parent's most embarrassing moment, to explain where their kit came from. . ." The Kyūbi admitted.

"No kidding. . ." Naruto replied as he remembered when Iruka told him as he blushed dark. "Most. . .embarrassing. . .moment. . .ever. . .of all time. . ." He got out before he calmed down and then turned to Kakashi. "So you explained everything?" He then asked.

Kakashi let out a sigh and then he nodded. "Every detail about it." He answered his student.

Naruto simply nodded back as he looked at Tazuna. "You can understand her situation now?" He asked with a surprisingly serious tone.

Tazuna then turn to the blond and nodded with a serious expression on his face. "Yes, what I want to know is how this Civilian Council of your village gained so much power? Was it all just from the money?" He then questioned with his own serious expression.

Kakashi and Naruto sighed in shame. "Unfortunately yes. Every since the end of the third war and following the attack of the Kyūbi, they had been an important source of income to Konoha. However Hokage-sama is trying very hard to keep them in line, but they distract him too much with paperwork. . .and it's a lot of it." Kakashi then admitted.

Tazuna then sweat-dropped. "You're kidding right? I can understand the money part, but paperwork?" He asked in a disbelieving tone, since he was his own boss and he only had to deal with getting materials he never did had to deal with things like paperwork to much.

Naruto let out a sigh as he shook his head from sid to side in response to that. "Unfortunately no, we aren't." He answered with an annoyed tone. A moment of silence passed until Naruto started again. "But it's alright old man, we can deal with this. You don't have to worry about it." He then assured.

Tazuna could only sighed in defeat, but he accepted it all the same. "Well. . .if you say so. . .I better get to the bridge to work on it." He stated as he got his supplies ready.

Naruto quickly made some shadow clones. "Your bodyguards just in case." He stated with a big grin on his face

Tazuna couldn't help but chuckle at that. "Thanks kid, but wouldn't it been better to do it, you know. . .outside?" He stated as the room was filled with Naruto's.

All of the Naruto's blinked at that as Kakashi placed his hand on his face and sigh. "Oh. . ." They all said in unision.

"Dumbass. . ." The demonic fox then remarked.

Soon left with the clones right behind him, but only in single line to get out the door. Kakashi then left to go help with Tsunami and Inari while Naruto decided to rest a bit outside and look at the cloud.


A few minutes later. . .

Hinata and Satsuki soon got fully dressed as they headed down stairs. Satsuki was wearing a light blue t-shirt with a white sleeveless jacket, white shorts and dark blue sandals. Naruto could've sworn that he saw a light blue bra strap, but shook it off as a blush appeared on his face.

"Way to notice the little details kit." The Kyūbi then remarked with a perverse smirk.

"SHUT IT!" Was the blond's reply with an angered expression.

The two Heiress soon reached the blond and they both sat beside him. "H-Hi. . ." Satsuki soon greeted with a shy tone.

"H-Hello Naruto-kun. . ." Hinata then greeted as well in the same tone as the Uchiha Heiress.

Naruto looked at the two shy heiresses as he was wonder what was going to happen now. "Hinata-chan, Satsuki-chan. . .are you. . ." He asked as he was very nervous of how Hinata would take everything she found out, but he let out a sigh of relief when he got a positive nod from both of them. "So you both. . ." He was silenced as Satsuki put her fingers over his lips and saw the two smiling at him. "Eh?" He thought.

"N-Naruto-kun. . ." Hinata started as he face was flushed red.

"W-We came to decision." Satsuki soon finished as she then removed her fingers from his lips.

Naruto let out a loud gulp, not knowing what would happen now, it could go horribly wrong and they would end their relationship or they would still do so but remain professional, either way he was a nervous wreck right now. "Y-Yeah?" He got out.

"Um. . .well I completely understand everything that has happen with Satsuki-chan, so I don't hold any ill feelings of you hiding it from me. . ." Hinata began to explain while still blushing and she played with her finger in a shy manner

"Also Naruto-kun. . ." Satsuki then started. "I confessed that I have feeling for you too. . ." She then revealed to the blond as she did the same.

This made said blond eyes widen to plate size as he went a little pale. "I-I really sorry Hinata-chan! I really didn't mean for something like two-timing to you! I just didn't want to hurt either of you!" He implored with his face full of shame.

They both smiled as light blushes appeared on their faces. "Your just a big softy." They both thought in unison.

Hinata then shook her head as she looked at the blond. "It's ok Naruto-kun, I'm not mad nor hurt." She replied with a bashful tone.

"Eh?" Naruto got out in complete confusion.

"What?" The demonic fox got out as he listened to the entire discussion.

It was at this point where Naruto would have thought that the two girls beside him were sister as they both had shy and bashful looks on their faces. "Cute. . .both of them are really cute. . ." He dumbly got out in a daze like tone.

In turn, both girls blushed at being called that before calming themselves down. "And well. . .we decided that we would. . .share you. . ." The two got out in unison as their faces went crimson red.

Naruto's mind when blank after hearing that, as he brain couldn't process what he just heard, but when his brain finally did, he became wide-eyed with a massive blush on his face. "WHAT!?" He roared in embarrassment with a slack jaw.

The blond then heard Kyūbi laughing in his head while also pounding a fist to the ground. "OH HELL FUCKIN' YEAH! TWO FOR ONE! KIT, I GOT COMPLETE AND UTTER RESPECT FOR YOU NOW!" He soon started coughing when he swallowed some of his spit. "Alright kit, here's what you do next," He suddenly began instructing. "you take the two to the bed and-" He then started.

"OH WILL YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY YOU PERVERTED FOX!? I AM IN NO MOOD TO DEAL WITH YOUR SHIT!" Naruto yelled out in his head. He turned back to the two blushing girls and asked "B-But a-are you two really alright with this? I mean this is-" He started before he was interrupted when both girls went by his side and unintentionally cuddled their breasts into his arm, Hinata getting his right and Satsuki getting his left.

"Naruto-kun, we. . ." Hinata started as her face was even more red than the blond's.

"Love you too much, so. . ." Satsuki continued as her face was no different.

"We decided to share you." They finished in unison, as they smiling shyly before they both kissed him on the respective cheek.

Naruto blushed darker to this gesture as he tried to regain his composure. "Are you absolutely sure about this?" He asked once more as he really didn't want to hurt the two girls.

"Hai!' They instantly responded with a nod with looks of determination on their faces.

Naruto was so happy yet embarrassed at this. "Holy shit. . .THEY REALLY ARE IN LOVE WITH ME!" He thought, still going through the fact that Kyūbi was right. Naruto gulped as he calmed down. "I. . .I can't deny them. . ." He thought, not wanting to hurt their feelings since he cared for them both equally.

The demonic fox let out a sigh of irritation. "Better make the right move kit, they both have strong affections for ya. . ." He then remarked in a serious tone.

Naruto actually nodded to that as the Biju actually decided to say something useful for once. "Well. . .alright then, I'll date you, both of you. . ." He decided with both seriousness and embarrassment in his tone.

This in turn caused both girls to smile happily and sigh with relief at the fact that the boy they loved wouldn't reject either one of them for the other.

Naruto then started to chuckle embarrassingly at the two girls. "I mean, why should I reject the attraction of two beautiful girl?" He then asked as he quickly pecked both Hinata and Satsuki on the lips, causing a large blush to appear on their faces.

Hinata quickly recovered as she let out a very happy smile, liking the fact she was called beautiful. "Thank you Naruto-kun." She got out..

Satsuki couldn't help but let out a giggle. "Your so sweet Naruto-kun." She then complimented as she sighed like she was in heaven on a white fluffy cloud.

Then the two girls lean into the boy as they enjoyed the warmth the received from their boyfriend. While said boy looked at the two girls with kind smile. "You know, you two are a lot more alike than I realize." He then admitted.

Soon after the trio had enough of the warmth, they then decided to head off and go train for the day all the while with happy smiled on their faces.


Kakashi had just finished making up the lie with Tsunami to Inari about the origin of babies. "Kami I'm glad I don't have to deal with that yet. . ." He thought in a somewhat exhausted tone at remembering it.

Inari meanwhile, gave a shrug of his shoulders, not wanting to question the baby thing again as he had gone back to his room to watch the ocean again. Tsunami went off to start cooking breakfast after thanking Kakashi for the help.

Kakashi then when out of the house for some fresh air as he was looking at the sky, while he began to recall everything that had happen, especially how things will go in the future from here on. "Well, now that Hinata has found out about Satsuki, things will get interesting from here on. I'll have to send a message to Hokage-sama to let him know she found out." He sighed as he went out for a walk around the village.

As the jonin was walking, he saw the entire town was as gloomy and depressing as it began to rain. "These people. . .all suffering under Gatō. . ." Kakashi trailed off as he continued watching until. . .

"I KEEP TELLING YOU LADY! WE DON'T HAVE ANY DANGOS!" An angry shop owner suddenly yelled out.

"Aw come one! Did this Gatō prick take everything out of this town! Goddamit it's just dangos!" A female voice yelled out.

This instantly stopped the jonin in his tracks as he placed his hand on his face. "Oh no. . ." Kakashi got out as he let out an exaggerated sigh while he rubbed his head before he walked over to the voice. "Please. . .don't let it be her. . ." He prayed.

His fears however were made true because when he had reached the store he saw a tall woman with purple hair done up in a pineapple like shape. She had on a fishnet shirt under a brown trench coat, a short orange skirt, shin guards and shinobi sandals. She was not only beautiful, but she had a body that model would kill for. "Anko. . ." Kakashi got out with a half open eye.

This got Anko attention as she turned to and saw the silver haired jonin and smirked. "Well well well," She then walked over to him. "Hey there Cyclops, long time no see." She lightly punched him on the shoulder.

Kakashi only sweat drop at the cyclops comment. "You too Anko." He replied as they walked back to the house after dealing with the commotion, apologizing to the owner of the shop for the trouble. "So I take it you're our back-up?" He then asked as they headed back to the bridge builders home.

Anko simply nodded with a grin on her face. "Yup, I was around the village when I heard about this mission going to a B-Rank, so I offered to come." She explained as she then gave a wicked grin that was short of a bloodthirsty one. "So, who's our future opponent gonna be? I didn't get all the detail before I rushed out to get ready." She then asked as she rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment.

Kakashi sighed to that last bit at it didn't surprise him in the slightest. "Zabuza Momochi. . .and a possible accomplice of his with unknown level or skill. . ." He answered.

Anko's then became wider as she said confidently. "Oh this is gonna be fun!" She declared as she was ready for a good fight.

After a couple of minutes walking, they soon arrived back at the house.


Meanwhile. . .

Naruto, Hinata and Satsuki were in the forest, review the tree climbing exercise again but they mostly train in their personal jutsus and styles. Then they would have fun with a race out of it to see who would reach the top first, at the start it would always be Hinata because of her excellent chakra control, but after a while it would most be Naruto because of his freaky stamina.

Naruto began to stretched a bit as he then smiled. "Hehe, I'm gonna get up there once again ladies!" He stated with confidence.

Satsuki however shook her head in response to that. "Sorry Naruto-kun, but it'll be my win this time." She declared with confidence as she stretched her limbs.

"Not if I beat you both up their first." Hinata said, ready to go as she jumped in place.

After Naruto finished stretching, created a shadow clone. "Okay you guys, he'll act as our judge for this little competition." He said as he looked at Satsuki and Hinata. "Good luck you two, because I'm not holding back." He then added.

The trio then faced their respective tree that they would be using to train, each of them were smiling at the thought of the fun they would have.

"On the count of three," The Naruto clone started as it acted as the judge.

Naruto gave a playful grin, ready to go.

"1. . ."

Satsuki gave a confident smile as she readied herself.

"2. . ."

Hinata took in a deep breath as she prepared herself.

"3!" The clone finished as the race began.

The trio soon rushed up the tree as they continued gaining speed as the clone then dispersed.

"I'm not gonna lose Naruto-kun!" Satsuki called out as she rushed further up the tree. She looked back at them and playfully stuck her tongue out. "Come and get me Naruto-kun." She then playfully taunted.

"Why you!" Naruto playfully said as he jumped upward, getting a bit further then her as he chuckled. "See ya!" He called out.

Hinata giggled as she rushed up with graceful form. "I better pick up the pace then." She quicken her pace up the tree as she caught up to Satsuki, giving her a small giggle. "I'll be going ahead now." She told her as she passed her.

Satsuki's eyes widen comically when she saw the Hyuga pass her before she laughed and picked up her speed.

The three continued running upward, not holding back on each other until they each got to the top. They soon looked at each other and saw that the race had ended in a three way tie.

"Well, that was fun." Naruto called out as they all clung onto the tops of their respective trees.

Satsuki let out a soft giggle to that. "Yeah! So you wanna train with our jutsus now?" She asked the two.

Hinata nodded with agreement. "Yes, I think that is a good idea, because it's already afternoon, we should focus on training on the personal skills and jutsus." She stated.

The trio then began to train with their taijutsu, ninjutsu and their genjutsu, as well as Naruto's and Satsuki's elemental jutsus as well.

While they went through the training, one particular thought came to the Uchiha's mind. "I wonder what Hinata-chan's elemental jutsu type is?" Satsuki then wondered, voicing out her thoughts as she placed a finger to her chin in a thinking position.

"I bet it's something cool! Just like Hinata-chan!" Naruto then stated.

Hinata began to play with her fingers as she looked below her. "I-I wouldn't know. . .my family doesn't focus on elemental jutsus, they only relied on our Byakugan and Gentle Fist." She then explained.

"That's pretty limited Hinata-chan." Satsuki then admitted.

Hinata nodded in agreement to that. "Maybe. . .but almost all of my family only need them to win any fight, so we never felt the need to learn anything outside of our teachings." She then explained in further detail.

"What about you Hinata-chan?" Naruto then asked.

Hinata raised her eyes to that as she blushed a little to the sudden question. "M-Me?" She then asked. "Well. . .I'm not sure, because I haven't been good at Gentle Fist like my father would like." She then admitted. "He's also been more focused on my sister Hanabi then me because she shows more promise. . ." She then added in slight depression.

Satsuki just scuffed to that. "Then I'm sorry to say this, your dad doesn't know you then." She stated as she crossed her arms over her breast. "To tell you the truth, my father really didn't thought much of me either since I was both the second born and a girl. He completely forgotten me in favor of. . .my brother. . ." She added with her own depressed tone.

Naruto blinked a couple of times as he looked at both depressed girls. "Man you two really are alike dattebayo." He once more admitted.

"Huh. . .sexists and favored based fathers. . ." The demonic fox remarked from within the seal. "What dumbasses, women are just as powerful if not more than men." He then stated in a serious tone while rolling his eyes in annoyance.

Naruto blinked once when he heard that. "Damn. . .that's, the most sensitive thing I ever heard you say. . ." He got out.

"I may be a pervert, but I still respect woman. . ." The Kyūbi stated with the same seriousness. "That also applies to the girls that are with you, respect them well brat." He then ordered in a sage like tone.

"I don't need you to remind me, I will always respect them." Naruto declared with complete conviction. "And I will always make them feel love like the should." He added.

"I'll hold you on to that. . ." The Kyūbi remarked with a chuckle. "Now make them feel better." He then ordered once more.

Naruto nodded to that as he looked at the depressed girls. "Hinata-chan. . .Satsuki-chan. . ." He started to get their attention. "While I know that I can't really say that I know what you are feeling, but I think that. . .you really shouldn't care about what your dads do. . ." He then stated.

Both girls let out a gasp to that.

"I didn't meant that as an insult or anything." Naruto quickly clarified as he really didn't want to hurt the girls in anyway. "I just meant, well. . .since your not what they wanted you to be, then be what you want to be." He then explained. "I mean for Satsuki-chan, since he focused more your brother, it just means that you had more freedom than he did." He stated.

Satsuki's eyes widen to that as she began to recall the time that her brother would always be busy either doing mission or be with her father doing clan related things. "Yeah, he was so busy. . .I was always trained by my mother and spent a lot of time with her." She commented with a smile.

Naruto smiled to that. "And for Hinata-chan, since your dad's focusing more on your sister, it means that you should just follow your own path and be the shinobi that you want to be." He stated.

This time it was Hinata's turn to eyes to widen. "I. . I never thought of it like that. . ." She admitted. "Me and Hanabi-chan used to spend so much time together when we were younger. . .and she used to look up to me, but ever since I tried to focus on Gentle Fist and failed, she started to distance herself from me. . ." She then revealed

Naruto began to thought of that. "Well. . .I'm not her so I can't really say if it's true or not, but I think because you tried to be what your clan wanted and fail to do so, made it so that your sister lose faith in you. . ." He told what he believed. "So now that you have your freedom, you shouldn't be just a member of the Hyuga Clan." He added.

Hinata blinked a couple of time to that in confusion. "Not. . .part of the Hyuga Clan?" She repeated with slight fear in her tone of voice.

"You just said that she should quit being a Hyuga. . .dumnass. . ." The Kyūbi said with a deadpan tone.

Naruto's eyes widen when he realized that. "Oh! No I didn't meant it like that Hinata-chan!" He stated as he wave his arms frantically, this made Hinata let out a sigh of relief as she nodded to him. "Well what I mean was, that now that you have freedom, you should just be you, Hinata Hyuga the Konoha shinobi, the most kindest and selfless girl I had ever known." He then declared as he placed his hands behind his head with his smile growing wider.

This made Hinata blush with happiness as she shyly looked to the ground. "T-Thank you Naruto-kun. . ." She said shyly.

Satsuki grinned to that as she placed her hands behind her head and gave her own smile that equaled the blond's. "I won't expect anything less from our boyfriend." She happily said.

"Oi! I basically gave the brat that advice!" The demonic fox then ranted, hating the fact that once again he didn't get any credit.

After that, the trio went off on their own area to train with their personal styles, ever so often they would asked one another some advice to help improve where they needed help. Then when night finally came, they decided to head back to the bridge builder's home.


Back at the house. . .

Kakashi had already introduced Anko to Tazuna as Tsunami was getting dinner ready. "So then. . .did you also know about Satsuki and her dilemma?" Tazuna asked.

Anko chuckled to the question as she rubbed her nose. "Yeah, and I gotta say, she's got balls. Even if she had help from the Hokage-sama, being able to hide the fact that she's a chick is really impressive." She admitted. "Good thing civilians can't see through a genjutsu. . .and the fact that their morons also help out a lot." She then added.

Tsunami came over and light hit Anko on the head as she went back to cooking. "I'll let you off lightly now. . ." She threatened as she pointed to her confused son. "But watch your language. . ." She added.

Anko pouted as she rubbed her head. "Sorry about that, just making a joke." She said, causing everyone to sweat-drop.

At that moment, Naruto, Hinata and Satsuki came in, exhausted and hungry while Naruto held supported both girls on his shoulders. Naruto, who finally noticed the extra person in the house looked her over and blinked a few times. "Who's the chick with the rack?" Naruto bluntly asked.

Kakashi did a spit take through his mask as he looked at him like he was stupid and had a death wish. "Naruto! Don't say that to someone like Anko!" He then ordered in a panicked tone worrying for both his student and sensei's son safety.

Hinata tilted her head to the side as she and Satsuki regained their balance. "Huh?" She got out as she was the most tired of the three.

Satsuki looked at Anko's chest. "Damn. . .they're a bit bigger than mine." She thought as she swore she saw them bounce a bit tauntingly.

Anko smirked as she suddenly disappeared. Without time to react, Naruto felt a presence behind him as Anko cut his cheek with a kunai, she then licking the blood that came out. "Mmm, I like the taste of your blood." She commented with a very creepy tone as Naruto stood there petrified with both fear and embarrassment as he blushed when he felt Anko's breast pressing against his back.

The Kyūbi let out a whistle when he saw that. "I'm liking her style!" He commented with a smirk on his face.

Hinata and Satsuki on the other hand, they blushed in both indignation and jealousy when they watched as Anko playfully lick Naruto's cheek. "GET OFF HIM!" They both yelled in unison as they pulled the blond out of Anko's hold.

To this display, Kakashi raised an eyebrow at the two girls, but more so to the shy Hinata. "Ok, it's weird that they're in sync like that or the fact that Hinata had this ferrousity side in her." He thought as he watched the two dragged the blond over to them and sat down to get ready and eat.

Anko just smirked as she put away the kunai in her hand. "Fine, fine." She responded in a joking manner while she let out a chuckle. "By the way, I'm the backup Kakashi requested, Anko Mitarashi, Special jonin rank and Co-partner to the Torture and Investigation Unit." She proudly stated to the still mad genin as the girls were still holding the petrified blond. "So, how about you three give me some introductions and then we can eat?" She then requested to the trio.

At this, Naruto finally recovered from his petrified state as she turn towards the special jonin. "Naruto Uzumaki, let's work well together. . .just stay away from my face." He introduced/warned as Hinata and Satsuki sat as close as possible to him.

To everyone's surprise, Hinata cuddled up to his left side. "Hinata Hyuga, the same as Naruto-kun said." She introduced as she narrowed her eyes.

". . ." Satsuki stared at the woman as she too had narrow eyes. "Satsuki Uchiha. . .please don't mess with our boyfriend anymore. . ." She all but demanded as she gave a glared at her, while she cuddle into Naruto's right side. "And I mean it." She added in a threatening tone.

Anko looked on at the sight and chuckled. "Well, it seems like he's got himself quite a harem for a brat your age." She soon stated in a joking manner.

This made the trio blushed bright crimson at that. "H-HAREM!" They exclaimed with much embarrassment.

"I know right!? This girl gets me!" The Kyūbi agreed with a smirk.

Kakashi had to resist making sure blood didn't stain his mask as he would hit himself for thinking like that towards his students. "Anko. . ." He got out in a warning manner.

Anko shrugged her shoulder. "Alright, alright. . .I guess since it is technically two girls with a guy, it's actually called a threesome." She then corrected herself.

"T-THREESOME!" Hinata and Satsuki yelled in semi-unison, but all three blushing madly.

Naruto meanwhile had steam coming out of his head at the mention of a threesome. "I got two girls liking me. . .and I'm dating both of them dattebayo. . ." He thought in a dazed tone.

This caused the Bijū began laughing his ass of inside of the seal. "THAT WAS AWESOME! NICE ONE! I'M REALLY LIKING THIS WOMAN!" He declared as he continued laughing.

Tazuna laughed loudly as he chugged a bottle of alcohol. "MAN THIS IS PRICELESS!" He declared.

But then both the bridge builder and Anko got whacked on the head by a very angry and embarrassed Tsunami via frying pan while Inari had a very confused expression.

"How did she even manage to hit me!?" Anko asked confused that a civilian had the speed to hit her while she rub her head.

Kakashi let out a long sigh in response to everything that occurred. "This is going to be a long mission. . ." He thought to himself.


Soon after all the antics had finally tone down, it was finally dinner time and they all sat down on the table and began eating.

Both Satsuki and Hinata tried to be nice and feed Naruto, but he told them that it was alright.

"Here Naruto-kun." Satsuki offered as she held up her chopsticks with some food.

"S-Say ah~. . ." Hinata then timidly requested while also holding up her own chopsticks.

This made said blond to blush with embarrassment while Anko and Tazuna began to snicker at him. "G-Girls, it's ok, I can eat by myself." He told the two girls.

"Moh but Naruto-kun, we wanna feed you!" Satsuki whined in a playful tone.

"Y-Yes, i-it's alright Naruto-kun." Hinata meanwhile reassured with a nod.

This made said blond to cringe at the request from his girlfriends. "Better not reject them." The demonic fox then reminded in a sing-song tone of voice.

Naruto let out a groan at that but he knew the fox was right. "O-Only a little. . ." He replied with a strained tone.

The girls instantly let out a small squeal of delight to that as they each took turns to feed their very embarrassed boyfriend.

"Jeez, the brat has those two in the palms of his hands." Anko then joked as she ate her own food with a smirk on her face. "Wonder what he'll do in bed?" She soon wondered out loud.

This instantly made Naruto spit the food from his mouth and hit Kakashi's face while the girls blushed crimson as they hid their face behind their hair.

"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The Kyubi roared in laughter. "I LOVE THIS GIRL!" He added in between laughter.

Naruto's face was completely red from embarrassment. "W-We're only twelve!" He then declared with a flushed face.

"Oh? Did I say that out loud?" Anko asked in a very fake innocent tone.

"H-Hai. . ." Hinata then answered in a meek tone.

"Y-Yeah. . ." Satsuki agreed as she then glared at Kakashi. "If he even dares to say anything about mine and Naruto-kun's sleeping arrangements. . .he's gonna lose his ability to reproduce. . ." She threatened in her head.

Kakashi on the other hand had a blank expression as he still had food on his face, but when he saw the glare on the Uchiha's face, he instantly knew what she was warning him about. "Anko. . ." He got out with a very low and irritated tone while he wiped the food off his face.

Anko however only whistle innocently. "I have no clue what's everyone is so work out about." She soon stated innocently.

The rest however didn't look convinced to that, but they didn't had to say or do anything as Tsunami did it for them via whack of her frying pan.

Anko began to rub her sore head that had a huge lump on it. "SERIOUSLY!? HOW IS SHE DOING THAT!?" She asked yet again, but she was replied by snickering and laughter from all the rest, except the gloomy yet confused Inari. "How the hell she isn't a kunoichi. . ." She thought to herself.

After that, they then continued to chat and laugh as they talk about some of the things they did in Konoha, like Naruto's pranks, going to the academy, eating Ichiraku ramen and many other things until. . .

"Why do you guys try so hard? You'll just die like all the rest. Gatō is too strong!" Inari blurted out, drawing everyone's attention to him.

This made Naruto let out a sigh of annoyance. "Listen kid, you gotta understand that we're trying to help this land for a better future." He tried to reason with the child. "Your life isn't that bad kid." He added.

This made Inari snap when he heard the last part of the statement. "I wish I had your life! At least you get to hang around your girlfriends and have fun! You have no idea how hard life can be!" He yelled, causing the three to wince in anger.

This made the adults from Konoha twitch their eyes at that, while the boy's family were stunned by what their child had just said.

The trio on the other hand had a strain calm yet angry expression on their faces.

"Here we go. . ." The Kyūbi then got out with a serious tone as he rolled his eyes.

Satsuki was first as she instantly slam her hand on the table, startling Inari with her Sharingan activated, scaring the boy at the sight of her eyes. "Yeah. . .we had it real easy. . ." She began to say with a lot of sarcasm in her tone. "I had it real easy, having my entire family killed by the person I trusted the most, having to disguise myself as a guy while acting like a total prick that tries to separate himself from the world, just to protect myself from having many greedy people trying to use me for their own gain." She seethed out in pent up rage.

Hinata nodded in agreement to this as she lowered her head and looked at the ground. "My clan is separated with a main house and branch families where the branch members are tortured by the main house if they show signs of rebellion." She stated in a depressing tone.

"And here's the kicker, I'm hated by practically every person in the place I call home." Naruto growled out, this startling the kid at the reveal. "You at least have a roof over your head and something I will never get to know. . .a family that loves you." He told him with a hurt tone.

For the Hyuga and Uchiha, this depressed the two as they lowered their head in sadness. "Naruto-kun. . ." They both thought in unison.

The two older shinobi close their eyes as they know what pain and loneliness is. While the members of the bridge builder family let out a sad expression.

Naruto meanwhile had to take a deep breath to calm down. "My parents died when I was just a baby. . .my father at the time sacrificed everything to protect mine and many people and all he wanted was for everyone to respect me. But they didn't. . .because I was different from most people, this made them hate and despised me, so they instead of respect, they gave me something that would hurt anyone. . .loneliness. . ." He described with a hurt tone in his voice. "Something you will never know because you have a family that cares and loves you. . ." He ended as he had refused to let a single tear out.

Satsuki had to bit her lip as guilt began to rise up within her. "I should have met him sooner. . ." She thought with regret.

Hinata soon became even sadder as she lowered her head further. "I should have spent more time with him. . .even if I was told not to go near him. . ." She thought with guilt.

The Kyūbi meanwhile said nothing as he just growled.

Naruto then stood up with eyes close. "Thank you for the food, Tsunami-san." He thanked the older woman as he turn to his sensei. "Kakashi-sensei, I'm gonna go train. . .need to blow off some steam. . .before I do or say something I will or probably won't regret. . ." He said as he left through the door, slamming it behind him.

Satsuki and Hinata wanted to go after him but Kakashi stopped them, when they were about to complain the jonin shook his head. "He needs some time alone." He simply stated.

This caused the two girls to give off depressed expressions, but they nodded all the same as they knew he was right, then they headed for the guest room but not before they gave Inari a stare that cause a chill run down his spine.

Once the genin were gone, Inari then run towards his room.

Kakashi sigh to after all the youngest had left as he then looked at the bridge builder and his family. "I am sorry about that. . .they didn't have easy lives, not to say you all didn't had just as bad." He told them with an apologetic tone.

Tsunami only shook her in understanding. "It's alright, I understand." She said.

Tazuna let out a sigh as he took a gulp of his alcohol and the let out a sigh. "Yeah, no problem. These days, whoever hasn't had a bad childhood, they're the lucky ones." He commented.

The older shinobi couldn't help but looked away to that comment. "Took the words right out of my mouth. . ." They thought in unision.


Meanwhile in the guest room. . .

Satsuki was now in the same room as Hinata since they were both girl, as the two silently undressed to get ready for bed until. . .

"Do. . .Do you think Naruto-kun's alright Satsuki-chan?" Hinata asked breaking the silence, as she was worried for their boyfriend.

Satsuki sighed as she stood in front of her in her light blue bra. "Hinata-chan. . . I really don't know. . .Naruto-kun was being kind when he said all those things, I know he suffered more than he said. . ." She then reminded.

Hinata nodded in agreement as she stood in her lavender bra. "He has. . .I know that Inari-san may have had been snap to that comment Naruto-kun said, but the comment he made didn't really help either. . ." She then admitted

The two sighed sadly as they thought of the their boyfriend.

After a while, Satsuki let out another sigh. "We better get to sleep, we'll need the rest for tomorrow." She soon reminded.

Hinata meanwhile nodded in agreement to that. "Hai. . ." She responded as the went into their futons and drifted into sleep.

Outside, Anko was listening in on the conversation with a smiled on her face. "Glad that those two girls found someone to truly care for them." She thought to herself, before she headed back inside. "I need a bath now, to much drama for my taste." She added.


In the forest a distance away from the house. . .

Naruto was rapidly punching and kicking the tree as it gained dents from his hits. "Damn it. . .I can't believe I let that brat get to me like that. . ." He growled out, as he continued hitting the tree until he became exhausted.

"Done yet?" The Kyūbi questioned his host, but Naruto was to tired to even respond. "Good, listen here brat, I won't say to cheer up, because it's not my thing and because it's mostly my fault for all that. But know this. . .you decide what you are, not those brain dead civilians, not your so call jiji, not your sensei, not having me seal inside you, not even those sexy girlfriends of yours,. . .you decide who you are. . ." He stated in a serious tone and said nothing more after as he closed his eyes to sleep.

This made the tired Naruto to lay on the ground as he watch the stars above him. ". . .Me huh?" He got out. With no strength left, he decided to move and rest along the side base of the tree he beat the hell out of as he fell asleep.


Back in Konoha. . .

Sarutobi was still in his office as he force to stay all night to finished the last of paperwork. Then when he went to have a sip of his tea, the cup. . .

CRACK

The cup suddenly cracked a little. "An omen. . .?" Sarutobi got out as he hesitated to continued writing as he looked out the window.

The old Hokage soon frowned at the bad premonition. "Something is occurring. . .something big. . ." He watched as the sun rose from beyond. "Ah dammit. . ." He saw some of his tea leak from his glass and started to get absorbed into the papers he had worked on. "I just finished those!" He declared.


The next day back in the Land of Waves at Tazuna's house. . .

Hinata and Satsuki slowly began to woke up, when their eyes slowly struggling open they saw that they were cuddling each other, their breast pressed against each other while their faces really close to one another that they felt each other's breaths on their faces.

"Oh. . ." Satsuki started.

"Kami. . ." Hinata finished.

The two became wide-eyed as they quickly separated from each other with large blushes on their cheeks. "Um. . .s-sorry about that Satsuki-chan. . ." Hinata then started, flustered a little, thinking it was her fault in some way.

Satsuki on the other hand began to laugh nervously as she waved it off and shook her head. "No no, it was my fault. . ." She countered in a awkward tone.

After an awkward moment, the two girls couldn't help but laugh. Here they were, two girls that had fallen for the same guy, both in the bras, sleeping together.

They soon looked down at themselves and blushed. "Maybe. . .we should head for the bath. . .we're a bit ripe from training yesterday. . ." The Uchiha Heiress then suggested.

Hinata blushed at the thought of smelling as she nodded in agreement. "G-Good idea." She timidly agree.

Then the two headed towards the bathroom so they could wash up. Then when they got there, they began to take of their underwear as Hinata couldn't help but look at Satsuki's chest being held by the light blue bra, she then gain a crimson blush when she saw Satsuki breast as she unintentionally bounce them. "You're really developed Satsuki-chan. . ." She unconsciously admitted in amazement.

Satsuki soon stopped what she was doing as she couldn't help but rub the back of her head in embarrassment, similar to Naruto as she played with her breasts a little before cupping them in her hands. "They are pretty big, heck I could possibly knock someone out with these puppies! I guess this is what it is meant by superior Uchiha genetics." She joked out with a giggle.

Hinata blushed a bit darker to that. "I-I see. . .Maybe that's why some say Hyuga genetics are the same too. . ." She then commented absent mindly.

Satsuki turn as she had to agree to that. "Your right. . .and aside from me, your the second girl our age group with the biggest breasts." She commented as she stared at Hinata's B borderline C-Cup breasts.

"E-Eh!?" Hinata got out as she cover her breast while she blushed with an even darker shade of red.

"I mean it Hinata-chan! Your way bigger then both Ino and Sakura combined! Not that anyone couldn't beat Sakura, she's flat as the road!" Satsuki then stated with wide grin on her face.

Hinata couldn't help but giggle to that bit as she looked at the Uchiha. "S-Satsuki-chan, y-you really shouldn't insult a fellow comrade of Konoha." She got out in between giggles.

Satsuki couldn't hold back anymore as she laughed at that. "Well she is!" She declared as she then let out a sigh. "At least you didn't have to bind them for most of your life. . ." She then added in slight depression.

Hinata slightly winced to that as she began to play with her fingers. "W-Well. . .that's why I always wore my sweater. . .to hide them. . ." She then revealed.

"Yeah that was pretty obvious Hinata-chan. I figured it out easily." Satsuki admitted with a sweatdrop.

Hinata played with her fingers again to that. "Well. . .that's mostly true. . .but I also liked wearing it. . .they feel really comfortable." She then admitted.

Satsuki then gave off a witty smirk. "But on a hot summer day?" She then asked.

"Most of the time I wear them to school and on missions, but mostly because they aren't the thick as they look." Hinata then explained.

"But you did want to attract Naruto-kun with you new outfit right?" Satsuki then questioned. "Also, you look cute in that outfit." She then added.

Hinata blushed again to that as she played with her fingers furiously. "I-It's still a sweater. . ." She mumbled quietly as if trying to defend herself and the Uchiha face faulted to that. "But thank you. . ." She then added.

The Uchiha then gave a Naruto like grin as she placed her hands behind her back. "No problem Hinata-chan!" Satsuki responded as she then watched as the Hyuga unintentionally rub her own breasts while staring at the Uchiha's, causing her to smile playfully. "And don't sell yourself short Hinata-chan, everyone's puberty starts differently. You'll get them eventually, a low C-Cup isn't that bad a start for anyone." She then reassured.

"Eh!?" Hinata got out as she finally notice what she was doing as she pull her hand behind her back while blushed dark. "T-Thank you Satsuki-chan, I appreciate it." She than got out.

The two giggled at the joke as they wrapped themselves in towels before they got into the bath. The two girls soaked themselves in the tub that was just big enough for two people to fit in.

"Aaaaaaaah. . ." Satsuki sighed out.

"This is nice. . ." Hinata also got out with a sigh of relief before she went and grabbed the shampoo.

The Uchiha however saw this and smiled. "You want me to help?" She then offered in a sister like tone.

Hinata nodded as she scooted over. "Sure, I would like your assistance." She responded with a smile.

Satsuki then grinned as she took the shampoo that they brought with their supplies just in case they needed to bathe, then she squeezed the bottle as it caused some of the liquid soap to come out and fall onto the dark blue haired girl's head before she then began to rub it in. "Wow, your hair is really pretty and soft Hinata-chan!" She got out in amazement.

"T-Thank you. . ." Hinata replied with a small blush. "Its. . .the same hair a my mothers. . ." She added with a fond expression on her face as she loved it when she was being compare with her mother that she love so much.

Satsuki continued to scrub the other girl's head as she started creating soap suds. "So you loved your mother too huh?" She then asked as she continued rubbing.

Hinata nodded happily. "Yes. . .she always understood me and helped me whenever she could. . ." She explained as she was reminded of her times with her mother.

Then Satsuki leaned in and pressed her breasts against the Hyuga''s back. "Wow. . .you and me really are alike, I was the same with my mom too. . ." Satsuki then admitted as she then took a pail of water and poured it on the Hyuga's head to get rid of the soap suds, not once did she separate herself from her.

Hinata then blushed dark when she felt the softness that was Satsuki's breast on her back. "H-Hai. . ." She got out in embarrassment. "I never would have expected you to be a girl that was like me Satsuki-chan. . ." She then admitted in amazement.

Satsuki then smiled kindly to what was said. "Me too, I'm really glad that the two of us sharing Naruto-kun isn't the only thing we had in common. . ." She said with a kind and caring tone.

Hinata nodded in agreement to that as she let the Uchiha hug her, fighting back the embarrassment of the breasts pressing into her back. "Y-Yes, I-I think that being on the same team as Naruto-kun is the best thing that ever happened to me. . ." She admitted. "Though no offense to her. . .but I was afraid of what would have happened with Sakura-san was on his team instead of me. . ." She then added.

Satsuki soon giggle at the remark the Hyuga made. "Trust me, if it was me I would pulled my hair out every single day if I had to listen to Sasuke-kuuuuuun! every single time she would be in my team." She said in a half joking and half serious tone.

Hinata then began to giggle to that as she then took the shampoo from Satsuki. "I-I honestly wouldn't blame you. . ." She then admitted. "D-Do you mind if I wash your hair now?" She then offered/requested.

Satsuki grinned widely to that as she went off the Hyuga. "Sure! Go right ahead!" She replied happily before turning around.

"Hai!" Hinata happily said as she nodded, then she squeezed some shampoo out of the bottle and it landed in her hands. She then placed the bottle aside as she placed her hands on the Uchiha's head and began to rub the shampoo in while it created suds. "Your hair is really long, silky and smooth Satsuki-chan, how do you keep it so nice with the natural spiky look?" She then asked with her own form of amazement.

Satsuki in turn couldn't help but blush to the complements. "Thanks! My mom would say so too." She admitted with smile. "As for the natural spikes. . .it's as you said, it's just naturally spiky like that." She added with a bit of an annoyed tone.

"Well. . .I think they look beautiful on you." Hinata declared with pure honesty as she kept rubbing the soap into the Uchiha's head.

Satsuki smiled with a bit of embarrassment. "Thanks. . ." She replied happily.

Hinata then nodded as she took the pail of water and dumped it onto the Uchiha Heiress's head, instantly getting rid of the soap. "There we go." She happily responded.

Satsuki then brushed away the water in her face. "Thanks!" She said with a smile, then an idea came to mind and chuckle mischievously. "So. . ." She soon began, smiling with mischief.

"Eh?" Hinata got out in an innocent tone.

Satsuki then revealed her hands covered in gooey white colored body wash. "Want a full body rub down?" She asked.

Hinata immediately blushed crimson to that. "I-I-I respectfully decline Satsuki-chan!" She squeaked out in a rapid pace, causing the Uchiha to pout in response.

After that, the two finished their bath, then the placed their clothes and went down for breakfast, there they noticed Naruto wasn't there.

"He hadn't come back from training last night." A gentle voice commented, the girls turn and saw it was Tsunami who said it.

This in turn caused the two girls gain worried expressions.

Sensing their worry, Tsunami gave a compassionate smile. "I'm a bit worried for the boy. Could you two go out and find him?" She then requested.

This made the two girls nodded. "Hai." The two said in semi-unison as they headed out to find their boyfriend.


In the forest. . .

The sun started to shine as Naruto slept like a log at the base of a tree.

Suddenly, Naruto was shook awake. "You'll catch a cold if you sleep outside." A feminine voice called out to him.

"That's a cute voice. . ." Naruto thought with a sleepy yawn. He then sniffed the air. "Weird how it's a guy though. . ." He then added in his head.

"Dammit. . ." The droozy Kyūbi got out as he was disappointed at that. "He looks like a girl though. . .WHY!?" He then complained.

"Shut it fox." Naruto complained as rubbed his eyes to see a long black haired person with an intensely feminine looking face. "Uh. . .Hi. . ." He awkwardly greeted.

The boy smiled kindly at him. "Hello." He replied. The boy was wearing a pink kimono with flowers, a small choker of some kind around his through, long dark hair, fair light skin and brown eyes.

"What are you doing out there then?" Naruto asked when he saw a basket in the boy's arms.

The boy also turned to his basket and he shown it to the blond. "I am collecting some herbs, a friend of mine was hurt and I need to get some." He answered.

"Oh, wants some help um. . .?" Naruto then offered, trying to be friendly.

"Haku." He said. "That would be nice, thank you." The now identified Haku expressed his gratefulness.

The two then spent the early morning picking herbs for Haku's companion.

"You know. . .I find it weird to spend your time with a guy you just meet in a forest then the two hot chicks back at the house. . ." The demonic fox then remarked with a deadpan expression on his face

"Hey! I'm just being nice!" Naruto retorted.

"To a guy you just met in a forest. . ." The Kyūbi then reminded in the same tone.

"Oh shut it!" Naruto simply retorted as he continued to look for medical herbs.

". . ." The Kyūbi just shook his head. "Still a guy though. . ." He pestered on.

"SHUT! UP!" Naruto roared in annoyance.

Completely unaware about the private conversation, Haku turned to the blond. "What were you doing out here so early?" He kindly asked.

This snapped said boy from his annoyance as he turn towards the boy. "Oh! I've been training lately; though I guess I over did it a bit last night." Naruto explained with grin as he rub his head.

"Oh so you're a ninja." Haku assumed when he saw the headband on Naruto's forehead. "Though you already look very strong now." He then admitted.

Naruto chuckled as he placed his hands on the back of his head. "Ah I'm not that strong." He admitted.

"Course you aren't. . ." The Kyūbi remarked. "You just happened to get some decent jutsu and got your mother's personality." He then added while rolling his eyes.

"Oi!" Naruto retorted in annoyance to his tenant's remark.

The two boys then finished up collecting the needed herbs. "I still got a long way to go to protect the people precious to me." Naruto then stated as he handed the herbs to the Haku.


Some distance away. . .

Hinata and Satsuki had just arrived to where Naruto had sleep through the night when they saw a person near him, they decided to spy on them behind a tree as they watched on.

"Who do you think that is?" Hinata asked with curiosity.

Satsuki however grined her teeth in jealousy when she saw the blond having a good time with the newcomer. "I don't know, but if she tries to make a move on our Naru-kun, she's dead." She growled out with new found emotions. Then when she realized what she did, she covered her mouth and blushed madly. "Did I just-?" She got out.

Hinata nodded while lightly giggling while nodding to the Uchiha. "I think I just discovered your jealous side." She answered as she then looked at her. "Naru-kun huh." She added in a teasing tone.

Realizing that Hinata was right, Satsuki couldn't help but blush. "Oh Kami, I just gave him a pet name without thinking. . ." She thought in embarrassment, but she then began to think about it. "Hmm. . .Naru-kun. . ." She muttered as the name sounded familiar as she and Hinata continued watching.


Haku let out a kind smile to that. "I see," He said with a tone of understanding. "So these people are precious to you?" He then asked.

Naruto blinked a bit, before he nodded with a true smile. "Yeah, one of them I didn't realize until last month," He began to say.

Hinata blushed at that while she played with her fingers.

"And the other has become really precious and prevented me from going down a terrible path." Naruto continued.

Now it was Satsuki's turn blushed while smiling happily.

"And besides them, I got a lot of people important to me too." Naruto looked up at the sky before he continued. "Iruka-sensei, the Ichiraku's, jiji, Kakashi-sensei, they may not be many, but to me their enough. . .And it's because of them that someday I'll fulfill my dream of being the leader of my village." He declared with a grin,

Haku began to chuckle in response to that as he at him.

Naruto blushed a bit at that as he had to remind himself that he was a guy. "Something funny?" He then asked.

This however made both girls mad at the blushing boyfriend, well Satsuki more than Hinata as she frowned with displeasure.

Haku then shook his head in response to that. "It's nothing, I just I realized that you really are strong, because wanting to protect someone is the true path towards becoming strong. Well I have enough herbs, so I have to go now." He replied with a kind smile that made Naruto blushed again then the he began to leave.

And once again this action made the girls really mad as they were about to come out and complain to their boyfriend, but before they did so. . .

Haku soon stopped and turned his face to look at Naruto. "And by the way, you should probably know. . .I'm a boy." He said before leaving Naruto's sight.

Both Hinata and Satsuki stopped dead on their tracks as their jaws dropped at what Haku had said. "THAT WAS A BOY!?" They thought in unison.

Naruto chuckled as he looked on at him with disappointment as he then left. "Thank you enhanced sense of smell. . .I would've freaked out at that if I didn't have it. . ." He thought with relief.

"He probably wanted that with the look of disappointment he had. But seriously! He's more feminine than most girls I ever met! How messed up is that!" The Kyūbi complained.

Back in their hiding spot, the two girls were freaking out at what they learned. "But. . .but she- I mean he!? EH!?" Satsuki got out, flailing her arms, confused at what was happening at this moment.

Hinata too couldn't say anything while her eyes began swirl as she kept thinking how a boy like him can be so pretty.

Naruto grinned when he heard a very familiar voice behind the trees. "You two can come out now." He called out the the blushing Hinata and Satsuki.

"EEP!" Came a squeak from both Hinata and Satsuki.

Satsuki then popped her head out from their hiding spot as she smiled awkwardly. "H-Hello Naruto-kun. . ." She got out.

"Did they really thought we couldn't hear them?" The Kyūbi commented with a deadpan tone.

Then after a moment, the two came from their hiding spot and went over towards him and cuddled into him as they sat on the grass.

Naruto blinked at this action. "You girls alright?" He then asked in a concerned tone of voice.

They both snuggled into his arms as they looked at him. "We're alright. . .But. . ." Satsuki started but trailed off.

"What about you?" Hinata shyly asked with a worried tone. "I mean, with what happened last night-" She was interrupted when Naruto was pecking hers and Satsuki's cheeks.

This action made the two girls blush with happiness and embarrassment.

"I'm fine," Naruto began with a big smile on his face. "I shouldn't have lost my temper last night. . .even though he did somewhat deserve it, he was still just a kid, he still only focus on what only happens to him and wouldn't be able to relate with others yet." He then admitted.

Hinata in turn could help but nod in agreement. "Yes, he is still young, so he still has to go through more of life." She said her own piece.

"I get that. . .but he was still a brat. . ." Satsuki commented with an annoyed tone

"I so agree with the Uchiha on that. . ." The Kyūbi agreed with the same tone.

"Come on Satsuki-chan be nice, he is just a child and there must be a reason for the way he acted." Hinata said as she lightly scolded the Uchiha.

This made Satsuki pouted cutely. "Ok. . .I'll try to understand the brat first then." She replied.

Then two smile at the pouting Uchiha as they decided to head back to the house to eat.


Back at Tazuna's house. . .

Team Seven and Anko were on the table eating breakfast with only Tazuna and Tsunami.

Hinata was the first to notice that the Inari wasn't eating. "Um. . .is Inari-san alright?" She asked the mother with concern in her tone.

"Is he still locked in his room?" Satsuki then questioned, but she wanted to say it in a calm manner as he was still annoyed at the boy.

This made said mother to look down in sadness, seeing this his father let out a sigh. "Please understand, it's just that, like you three he too had a sad young childhood." He began to explain.

This gain the trio's attention as the older shinobi only watched in a calm manner.

"Something happened to him thanks to Gatō, huh?" Naruto then guessed.

Tsunami said nothing in response to the guess, but his father nodded. "Yes, but that's not where it started." Tazuna stated, when he saw that the shinobi's were waiting for him, he nodded. "My son-in-law. . .Inari lost his father at a very young age, so not having a father figure at his side made him grow up very lonely." He began to tell his tale.

The trio instantly understood that part, as the three of them didn't had a father in some ways, Naruto didn't had one, Satsuki's and Hinata's never payed any attention to them.

"So for most of his early life he was very lonely, but he on a day when he almost drowned a fishermen saved him, that man was Kaiza, he was a very brave and noble man as he was the town's local hero, he was the father Inari never had as he taught him the value of protecting what's most precious to him with his own arms. Now sooner did, my own daughter fell for him as well and be truly became his father." Tazuna continued with a nostalgic expression on his face.

This made the trio smiled. "He must be a very nice and kind man." Hinata commented with admiration in her tone.

". . .He was. . ." Tazuna then stated in a depressing tone and a lowered head.

This made all the trio gain shocked expressions, but decide not to say anything to let the bridge builder continue.

"It was when Gatō appeared that every when to hell. . ." Tazuna continued with sadness and anger in his tone. "I already told you that he took control of the city via owning the ports, but. . .to make sure we would never disobey him, he need to make. . .an example. . ." He said with a pain fill tone as he daughter began to slowly shed tears.

The trio had a bad feeling when they heard that as the older shinobi could guess what happen with how the story began, but they didn't said anything as this would be a learning experience for them to have how the world really is.

"He need to take ours spirits away. . .by taking away our hero. . ." Tazuna hinted as he had to hold back some tears that wanted to come out.

Hinata let out a gasp as she place her hands on her mouth. "No. . ." She got out as she knew what it mean.

Satsuki meanwhile went a little green at the possible idea. "That. . .you don't mean. . ." She muttered.

Naruto's face was covered by his hair but his whole body was trembling as he tighten his fist dangerly. "That bastard. . ." He growled out.

Tazuna nodded as he figured that the three guessed right. "He first cut off Kaiza's arms as a message. . .before he then killed. . .right in front of our very eyes. . ." He finally revealed as his daughter began to openly weep in sadness and pain.

Hinata too began to shed tears, while both Satsuki and Naruto's blood was ready to boil from anger.

"Human greed. . .it knows no limits. . .nor cares of the pain it brings to others. . ." The Kyūbi commented with an emotionless tone.

"This is why Inari doesn't believe in heroes anymore. . ." Tsunami then whimpered out.

"And that is why. . .this bridge needs to be complete at all cost now. . .it's the final hope we got from freeing ourselves from Gatō's claches." Tazuna then stated with narrow eyes and a serious expression.

Then there was a long period of silence as everyone ate in silence. After the trio finished they stood up suddenly. "That's it!" They said in unision.

"We're going to train." Naruto told their sensei as the two girls nodded with a serious expression.

Kakashi gave an eye smile as he waved at them. "Take care!" He said in a joking manner but on the inside he was happy that this would motivate them to get stronger.

With a united nod of the trio, they ran to the door and headed to the forest.

Kakashi then let out a chuckle. "Looks like my cute students won't be coming back until late at night again." He joked.

"Will that be alright? "Tsunami asked with concern in her tone.

Anko grinded widely at that. "You two just basically motivated them to work their asses of even harder." She added.

"Trust me, those three are going to prove not just Inari, but this town's people that their are still heroes left in this world." Kakashi added as his eye look at the corner were Inari was hiding as he then left.

When his family saw Inari ran, they couldn't help but smile with a bit of sadness but also hope, hope that their little boy would overcome this despair.


Elsewhere in the Land of Waves. . .

Haku had returned to Gatō's base with the herbs. The boy walked through some of the hall, then he entered one of the rooms and there lied the injured Zabuza on a bed. He then approached the injured missing nin before he started applying the herbs to him. "Your almost finished healing, you'll be able to get up by tomorrow." He then revealed.

Sighing, Zabuza looked at the ceiling. "Good, I would like to get some payback on not just Kakashi but those brats too." He got out with narrow eyes.

Before Haku could replied, the door of the room open violently, two samurai thugs came in first and then a short man came in the man was wearing a black business suit with small black sunglasses. "Well well, the Legendary Demon of the Mist reduced to a state like this, you Mist shinobi aren't worth that much then." The short man antagonized.

Zabuza then grumbled in annoyance to that. "Oh shut it Gatō." He then remarked.

At this, Gatō frowned in annoyance to the back talk. "A man that is lying on a bed doesn't have any right to talk to me like that, let alone that I'm your employer!" He stated with a growled as he march straight to the injured missing nin. "I mean after the other two failed and then you failed, I'm having some slight doubts with hiring your services." He added as he reached out to touch the injured shinobi.

But before Gatō could lay his hand on Zabuza, Haku instantly grabbed it and began to tighten his hold. "You will not touch Zabuza-sama!" He declared in a calm tone, but his expression was full of killing intent.

"Gah!" Gatō shouted as he could feel his bone was ready to break.

At that moment, the two thugs that came with Gatō unsheathed their blades and were about to charge when. . .

"Don't even move. . ." Haku then ordered in a threatening tone as he redirected the thug's blades to their own necks.

The two thugs gasped with their eyes widen in shock. "How did he-!?" They thought in unison as they were completely at his mercy.

"Don't try anything. . .when I'm mad!" Haku then declared with a furious tone.

Zabuza merely chuckled to that. "Never mess with this kid you idiots." He then warned.

The sound of swords hitting the floor was then heard as Gatō and his thugs took a step back in fear. "Just finish the job if you want your money and if you screw up, consider yourself gone!" Gatō declared as he and the thugs then left.

"You know you didn't have to do that. . ." Zabuza commented as he put away the kunai he had in his hand.

"You should know that I dislike anyone who touches you in disrespect Zabuza-sama. . .and it's too soon to kill Gatō or the Hunter nin will find us again." Haku then stated his reminder.

Zabuza just scoffed at that, but he still knew he was right. "Yeah yeah. . ." He grunted out in annoyance.

Haku merely sighed at his master's stubbornness. "Zabuza-sama. . ." He got out.

Zabuza's eyes were closed for a moment, then her reopen them and turn towards Haku. "Don't call me that anymore Haku. . ." He declared.

This made said boy gave a sad smile. "Hai. . ." Haku got out.

Zabuza then gave out a sigh at that. "Father will be fine from now on. . ." He ordered to him with a neutral tone.

To that, Haku became wide-eyed in both surprise and confusion. "W-What?" He questioned in shock.

Zabuza then looked at his shocked apprentice. "We've been traveling for a long time, since the day I found you Haku, I trained you to be the best shinobi I could. . ." He stated with a small glimmer in his eyes that show his pride he had for the boy. "You've grown on me since then. . ." He admitted.

Haku was completely baffled and didn't know what to say. Then after another moment he finally understood. "You mean. . ." He got out as he had to hold back tears from fall.

With the same glimmer in his eyes, Zabuza nodded. "I am. . .Haku Momochi. . ." He declared.

Haku couldn't held it in anymore as a flow of tears began to fell from his eyes as he gently hugged his new father. "Thank you. . .father. . ." He then got out once more.

Zabuza in turn couldn't help but let out a chuckled as he struggle to move his arm so that he could ruffled his hair. "Don't mention it. . ." He replied as his masked hit a small smile. "For what's to come. . .I may need to give a gift. . ." He thought to himself as he then he eyed his sword that was against a wall. "I think that boy will appreciate it if I give it to him. . .after all, we don't know what will happen. . ." He added as he turn back to his new son. "Son. . ." He could out. "There's one last thing I need you to do before tomorrow. . ." He then stated in a serious tone.

Haku then looked up at his former master. "What is it father?" He soon asked.

Zabuza pulled out a sheet of paper and handed it to Haku, who became wide-eyed at the red letters written as its contents after reading it. "I don't know what exactly will happen tomorrow, so if you live and I die. . . . . then I want you to. . ." He then began to explained what he wanted to do.


Back with Team Seven. . .

Naruto, Hinata and Satsuki kept training after what they learn during breakfast as they used that as motivation to continued practicing. They continued to train their water walking as well as their person fighting styles and jutsu.

They did a good job at it as they kept their balance on the water as Kakashi and Anko would help them individually when it came to their personal training.

After a while, the genin were taking a break as they used a lot of chakra, more so Satsuki and Hinata. "Gotta say Kakashi, you trained them well." Anko said with a slight disgruntled look. The lack of dango was starting to get to her.

Kakashi scratched the back of his, embarrassed a little at the praise. "Well, I did have keep the promise to Hokage-sama. . .But most of it came from their will to get stronger." He stated with a hint of pride in his tone.

Anko lean her head as she looked at the tired genin. "They got guts I'll give them that much, but they still got a lot to learn if they want to be real shinobis." She then reminded.

"True." Kakashi agreed as he then took out his Icha Icha novel and started reading.

At the sight of it, Anko glared at the book hoping it would just burst into flames. "Your such a perv. . ." She stated in a deadpan tone of voice.

This caused Kakashi to shrug his shoulders. "Meh, some people like reading intellectual books like these." He stated as he tried to sound intellectual about his reasoning.

Anko immediately narrow her eyes at that. "Cause you can't get any action yourself?" She jokingly stated with a smirk.

This caused Kakashi to nearly drop his precious book and became wide-eyed at what the older kunoichi said. "HEY!" He retorted.

Anko laughed madly while Kakashi glared at her. "You're too easy to mess with." She continued laughing as she and Kakashi watched the three continue.

After a much needed rest, the trio resumed their training. On the water, the trio looked to see Anko laughing at Kakashi while he glared at her. "I wonder what they are talking about?" Naruto couldn't help but ask.

Satsuki raised an eyebrow as she simply shrugged before she wobbled a bit from the small action and lost of concentration but she quickly recover it. "Who knows?" She then stated.

"Well with the way Kakashi-sensei's looking at Anko, she must've gotten to him somehow dattebayo." Naruto deducted.

Hinata hummed at that as she nodded in agreement to that. "Then maybe Anko-san said something?" She suggested.

Satsuki shook her head in response to that. "Nah. . .Know our sensei, he started it." She reminded.

Then the trio turn towards their sensei and saw the orange book, causing them to sweatdrop at it. "A pervert through and through." The trio soon said in unison as they continued training.


Many hours of training passed the genin had finally reached their limit.

"Ok, that's it for today let's head back." Kakashi called out his students.

"You three need to get your strength back after all that training." Anko then stated.

The tired genin couldn't help but nod in agreement. "Hai. . ." They said in unison as they were all panting from exhaustion.

"You really worked your ass off kit. . ." The Kyūbi remarked with narrow eyes.

"Well we need to get stronger. . .and I can't rely on you all the time Ero-fox." Naruto grumbled out.

To that, the Bijū only scuffed as he when back to sleep.

After that they returned back to the house. "We're back." Kakashi declared with an eye smile.

"Welcome back." Tsunami kindly welcomed the Konoha shinobi as she was setting the table.

"Got any booze for us?" Anko then asked as she plopped down to her seat.

"Lots!" Tazuna declared as he gave a big gulp of his sake

"Then pass me a glass old man!" Anko then ordered in a joking tone.

This exchange was received by a whack from the bridge builders daughter. "Ow!" The two got out while they rub their heads.

"Seriously!? How the hell does she keeps do that!?" Anko ranted in her head as she rubbed the lump.

This caused the trio to begin chuckling at their suffering, much to the bridge builder and kunoichi's annoyance.

After that they all sat down for dinner, they all eat as it was completely silence until. . .

"Well. . .it's been a week. . ." Kakashi began in a serious tone of voice.

The trio and Anko instantly knew what that meant. "You three better be prepared since you can possibly die." Anko then warned in the same tone of voice.

The three genin nodded in agreement. "Yeah, tomorrow's the day that we expect Zabuza to be up and running again." Naruto stated as Tazuna gulped at the thought.

Seeing the fear in the older man, Satsuki gave him a light smack on his back. "Don't worry, we're gonna protect you no matter what." She reassured to him.

Hinata nodded in agreement. "Yes we will do everything in our power to protect you and the bridge that is everyone's hope." She told him with a reassuring tone.

Tazuna let out a sigh, but he still nodded as he placed his and everyone in Nami lives on their hands. Then a thought came to mind. "What about my family? I know that scum like Gatō isn't afraid to try and kidnap them to get you guys to stop and surrender." Tazuna said as Tsunami's eyes became filled with fear and Inari didn't seem to care at all.

Realizing that possibility, Kakashi pondered at the thought. "Hmm. . ." He got out.

Naruto put their worries to rest as he let out a smirk. "No problem, three or four shadow clones can probably help protect your family so leave it to me!"He told them.

This made Tazuna sigh in relief. "Thank you. . ." He said as he bowed to him profusely while Inari just left the room.

Naruto gave him a grin. "I also wanna show that heroes still exist in this work!" He declared.

At this declaration, Inari abruptly stood up and ran to his room.

His family looked at him with worry as

"Inari!" Naruto called out to him, the boy stopped as the blood looked at him with conviction. "There are heroes, if their aren't, then be a hero yourself. . ." He told that more to himself than to anyone else.

Inside of the seal, the Kyūbi only let out a chuckle to that.

Hinata and Satsuki soon nodded in agreement to that. "We'll prove it as well." Hinata then stated with determination.

With that Inari ran back to his room with his face still hidden.


Soon the final day came, Naruto had five clones guard the house while he, Kakashi, Hinata, Satsuki in her Sasuke form and Anko all went with Tazuna to the bridge.

When they finally got there, they all found that most of the workers were on the floor, injured and moaning in pain.

Tazuna went and kneel next to one of his workers "What happened here?" He asked the injured man.

The worker groaned in pain as he slowly open his eyes. Then he struggle to turn towards his boss. "They came. . .from the mist. . .like demons." He got out as he then fainted.

Kakashi placed his finger on his neck and let out a sigh of relief. "He's ok, he just fainted." He told the worried bridge builder as it made him let out a sigh of relief.

Anko then raised an eyebrow to that before narrowing them. "Demons?" She questioned as she repeated the last words said.

"Zabuza. . ." Naruto growled out as a thick mist rolled in.

"Here he comes. . ." Sasuke said as he got into a stance. Out in front of them, Zabuza and his masked apprentice appeared. "So he really was the fake hunter-nin after all. . ." Satsuki thought to herself with annoyance.

Zabuza grinned from beneath his bandages as he saw Kakashi and the genins along with an extra person. "Well well well. . . .The Snake Mistress of Konoha is here too, this'll make the fight much more. . .interesting. . ." He stated with excitement.

Anko smirked as she took out a kunai, twirled it and licked the tip. "Well, I'm glad to see my reputation surpassed the village walls. Let's have some fun, No brow-chan." She taunted.

With that taunt, Zabuza grew a tick on his forward and yelled "I KNOW I DON'T HAVE ANY EYEBROWS! YOU DON'T HAVE TO MENTION IT DAMMIT!" He roared in pure annoyance as he then formed many water clones.

The rest of the group sweat dropped at the antics but they quickly recovered as they guarded Tazuna.

Sasuke disappeared only to find all the clones destroyed instantly after he reappeared. As the clones turned back to water, Sasuke glared at Zabuza. "Your next. . ." He stated.

Kakashi along with Tazuna sweat-dropped at the enraged girl, turned boy. "Huh, Sasuke's personality is. . .interesting. . ." Tazuna muttered as he looked at him, scared shitless.

Kakashi chuckled lightly. "Yeah he's pretty interesting." He replied with an eye smile.

Anko grinned widely as she turn towards him. "I'm starting to like him. . .maybe I can give some tips after this." She muttered with a evil tone in her voice.

At this statement, Kakashi to shudder in fear a little. "Please don't. . .one Anko is enough. . ." He muttered out.

To which said woman let out a vicious grin. "Why not? This world could use more of me." She commented with a vile tone.

Now it was everyone's turn to shivered at that. "I really like her." The Kyūbi commented.

Zabuza couldn't help but let out a dark chuckle at the display from Sasuke. "Hmm. . .interesting boy. . .I think you've might've found a rival son." He stated.

Haku in turn nodded to that. "Indeed, he was fast. . ." He agreed.

Kakashi then pulled up his headband, revealing his Sharingan. "Feel privileged Zabuza. No one has seen this eye twice and lived to speak of it." He declared as he was ready to fight the missing nin.

Zabuza chuckled at the comment. "We'll just have to see Kakashi. . . Go get them. . .son." He ordered as he muttered the son part.

Haku nodded to his adopted father. "Right. . ." He then dashed at Sasuke.

Kakashi instantly took his battle stance at this. "Hinata, protect Tazuna. Naruto, Sasuke, take the boy. I'll handle Zabuza. Anko stay with Hinata, if I need back up you know what to do. " He quickly ordered.

"Hai!" The all declared in agreement.

Hinata and Anko went in front of Tazuna in a defensive position while Naruto and Sasuke rushed at Haku.

"Let's get it on!" Naruto roared, smirking at the masked boy.

"Bring it on." Sasuke stated, glaring at the boy as well.

Haku looked on at the two, recognizing Naruto as he took out some senbons. "I won't go easy on you two. . .no matter what. . .for now. . .we fight!" He declared as he charged at the two genin. "I just hope everything goes according to plan. . . .minus the part I really don't want to happen. . ." He thought to himself with worry.


JG (JGResidentEvil)'s A/N: Hiya everyone, JG here with the last of the rewritten chapters!

F2P (fight2protect)'s A/N: Remaster!

JG: ^^" Right right F2P! This time the discussion that needs to be talked about it the threesome. Apparently for some people, they believe that harems settings are basically scorned among the fanfiction community.

F2P: Truth be told, I (personally) in some way also believe that, but not without reason, on most occasions is because the authors had difficulty to come up with romance or added it to the story, this will make the story itself be written poorly. But regardless of that, we don't hate harem settings if they are written right, and although ours ay need a lot of work on the writing, we think we been doing alright with both story and the romance aspect.

JG: Which is all true, you've already seen how both Hinata and Satsuki interacted with one another in the remastered chapters, so in a sense, it would have been unfair for Naruto to have to chose only one of the two since they both care for him a lot.

F2P: That and we just want to make a story about the three, if it means a harem, so be it, period.

JG: Exactly! ^-^

F2P: Now that it's all been cleared up, we move on. . .

JG: We bet you noticed a lot of changes in the remastered versions of Chapters 7 through 9, and we gotta say that we're are proud of them!

F2P: Well aside from the better writing the before, the plot holes filled up and the way longer charters. We only made some few changes really.

JG: True, the extra material was created as we wrote it all.

F2P: Those extra material were mostly have the main cast and the side cast act much more in character and have a bit more realist response to situations. (As real as a fanfic can get ^^")

JG: Exactly!

F2P: That's why on Chapter 7 we added that scene with Kakashi, we wanted for him to really open up to Naruto as best as he could. While Naruto still understood his dilemma we wanted to have him be somewhat hurt, but still having a forgiving heart.

JG: Something that some people can't understand and result to the Kakashi bashing stories. Sakura bashing is one thing because at the beginning of Naruto, she was a complete brat that only cared for Sasuke and always punched out Naruto anytime she could. Kakashi's different because he's been through a rough life and many hardships that impacted him the way he was at the beginning. People may hate them, but the filler arc episodes actually hold a great amount of knowledge in them that explains a lot in the end.

F2P: For Chapter 8 we added a few new scenes here and there that was for both comical, serious and plot related purposes.

JG: Mainly with how Satsuki acted when Hinata discovered her and was described as an Uchiha version of herself.

F2P: Others like the first fight with Zabuza. But the one type of scenes we really changed was all of the Inari scenes. As the original chapters all of his scenes were really cruel and demeaning, so we changed it so that to us it would feel right and that would really change him in what we think would fit for our fic.

JG: Yeah, nothing wrong with making slight changes to make a character look better. It just really matters if you overpowered them in some way.

F2P: Now for chapter 9, it was already explain most of it with the harem discussion earlier, so other than that it was focus on the aspect on Hinata accepting Satsuki and both of them sharing Naruto. That's about it when it came to these remaster chapters, better structure, more realist interactions, and a few extra scenes.

JG: Jeez, with all the improvements made, it's no wonder these chapters are much longer!

F2P: That's what remaster mean. . .^^"

JG: Right, and now that all the issues this time were dealt with, we will see you next time!

F2P: Peace out!
