Just a nice little cap off for this one shot. An idea of what could be, so to speak. Later!

-Story Start-

Naruto had decided that come what may, he would have to live with the results of his 'blackout' period. That said at least now most of the looks he was getting from the villagers made a lot more sense. Who would have thought he would be recognized and respected because of two straight days of debauchery and chaos as opposed to saving the village or taking down crazy nuke-nin. Maybe Pervy Sage was onto something there.

Today had him a bit less introspective and much more reactive. Sun high and not a cloud in sight, Tsunade hadn't been kidding that he would be on his own taking care of the fallout. He wasn't entirely sure why Neji and Shikamaru were chasing him as if he had been caught with their wives or something. But he sure wasn't about to let them catch him today. Leaping and making short shunshins across the rooftops, he grinned over his shoulder and attempted, again, to defuse things.

"C'mon guys! We're friends, let's talk about this!"

Neji's byakugan was active and the snarl on his face told Naruto there would be no reasoning with him, "Sure thing Naruto, just slow down so we can chat!" Having his hands cloaked in chakra, visible even to the naked eye, gave Naruto the clue to just what type of chat they would be having.

Shikamaru tried and failed again to snag him in a shadow, "It's too troublesome to explain, so just die."

Naruto jumped and made several clones, switching places in the smoke, "You know, this really is all just a misunderstanding!" Free of the smoke and scattering in different directions, he was only a little surly that his pursuers weren't fooled and were still on his heels. "Oh come on!"

Neji smirked, "Only one of you has that weird seal on you!"

'You Fox! Fix that seal!'

'Can't, it'll kill you if I do.'

'Why would you attach it to my heart of all things? And why can't you reverse it?'

'Um…..'

Naruto twitched as he had to drop to ground level and weave through several merchant carts while Neji did his damned best to shut down his organs with juken strikes. 'Don't tell me…' A mule kick sent Neji into Shikamaru and interrupted a long chain of seals from the shadow user that probably meant bad news for Naruto. Jumping away again and making several hasty shunshin in quick succession, Naruto arced towards the training grounds. 'Fox?'

'I, might have forgotten how to do that?'

'How the hell do you forget how to undo something you did?'

'Do you have any idea how complicated your ningen cardiovascular system is? It's a miracle you monkeys are even alive! Who the hell needs a separate nervous system, within their primary nervous system?! Why is it that if I supercharge your immune system it'll eat your own eyes? It's maddening and proof Kami is a bitch!'

Naruto dove headlong into the trees and suppressed his chakra as much as possible, dulling his own senses in the process. Not a moment too soon as Shikamaru and Neji raced past his hiding spot in the trees, making their way towards the training grounds. Naruto had to remind himself that he still needed to send a group of clones to the one they destroyed, part of his community service from Baa-chan and he wasn't looking to add on more hours. 'Just break it anyway, what's the worst that can happen!'

'Your heart could explode.' There was silence between them for a full minute while Naruto really considered that before the ancient Biju yelled at him 'I'm not dying because you couldn't keep it in your pants!'

'We're only like this because you decided to screw with me!'

'It was worth it. Remember the blonde and the pale eyed one?'

Naruto took a moment to think about those descriptions. Did he mean Ino and Hinata? He did have to consider, that night with the both of them had been pretty epic. He wasn't surprised at all that Ino was a screamer, but Hinata. Oh boy was she flexible. And the things she suggested and was willing to do? 'That's besides the point. I'm going to die if this keeps up.'

'Consider it training to get stronger and quit your bitching.'

'You asshole!'

'Useless gaki!'

'Chakra Parasite!'

'Impotent tryhard!'

Naruto grunted, 'We both know I'm not impotent.'

'Yes, that's true, my mistake. Heat of the moment.'

'Don't let it happen again.' Naruto rolled his eyes as he considered he hadn't heard anything for a while. Looking around and allowing his chakra to surge back to normal, he figured he must be in the clear. Dropping down to the ground, Naruto rolled and stretched his shoulders before sighing and walking back towards the village proper. "Maaan I wish they'd leave me be. Not like I can take any of it back." Linking his hands behind his head and relaxing just a bit, he just wished Temari hadn't taken his last jacket. He had no problems walking around in his chainmail, but it certainly wasn't helping the looks he was getting. Taking to the rooftops again before he had a chance to be eyed up by every post puberty woman in the village, Naruto wondered if even going home was safe. And why were Shikamaru and Neji after him anyway? Not like they were seeing anyone right now.

Breaking into his thoughts, a happy and giggling Hinata barrels into his side. "Good morning Naru-kun!" Still happy and living out her dream, the Hyuuga heiress was all smiles as she joined Naruto in hopping across the village.

"Heya Hinata-chan." Though he was happy to see her, it took him a minute to take in her current look. Her normal indigo capri pants were switched out for shorts today, maybe because of the heat? But since when did she wear a chainmail shirt? Or an orange tube top? And was that his jacket that she was wearing open and exposing her goods? "I like the new look."

Nodding and subtly angling him away from the Hyuuga compound where he had been headed, Hinata gave thanks that she took some of Anko's advice. While the miniskirt would have been a bit too much, showing some skin for Naruto was apparently very worth it. "I decided I needed a bit of a new look."

"Is that my jacket?"

"You gave it to me."

"Huh." Naruto racked his brain, trying to figure out if he really did give her one of his jackets or not. Seeing her bounce as they alighted on one rooftop and sailed to another, he decided he was not going to argue. "Okay then. So, what're you up to today?"

"Hmmm." Hinata resisted the urge to mention that she wanted to mount him and spend the rest of the day inside. More fun for sure but would lead to trouble. "I have a mission with my team today. Wanna see me off?"

"Sure thing. Main gate?" Seeing her nod, Naruto leads the way. Feeling her hop onto his back and snuggle in, he chuckles and remembers Ino doing much of the same. "Guessing I'm everyone's favorite ride now?" Taking hold of her hips, he felt the girl nod.

'Phrasing.'

'Shush Fox.'

"In more ways than one." 'HAH!' Breath hot on his ear, Hinata enjoyed the shiver that worked through her love's back. "I shouldn't be more than a few days. But I'm sure the others will keep you company." She pressed herself more fully into him, "Going to miss me?"

Naruto nodded, still trying to get used to the idea that someone, anyone, wanted to be in his life so completely. "Absolutely." Seeing her team and dropping down to the ground with a whoop, Hinata was sent laughing as they landed and she climbed down from his back. Watching her walk around him and hold his hand lightly, she smiled brightly for him and he smiled in return. "Be safe, okay?"

Hinata nodded, leaning in and kissing him softly, "I will. I have something special to return to after all."

Behind them it was a blushing Kurenai that gave a loud cough to gain their attention. "Hinata. If you could, we'd like to get a move on." While she was happy for her normally meek student, she now had a new worry. Next to her while Shino seemed as stoic as ever, Kiba had all of the demeanor of a riled up and bristling older brother. Just short of growling, it was a happy Akamaru who at least yelped and greeted Hinata as she joined the group. Kurenai gave her points for the expressive new outfit, and for staking her claim so decisively. Kurenai linked eyes with Naruto and nodded, "Think you can stave off burning down the village while we're away? I'd like to see my son when we return." Having only recently returned to active duty, this would be one of her first missions away from home. Hopefully Asuma would be okay. Maybe.

Chuckling nervously as he vaguely remembers that Kurenai-sensei and Anko were very good friends, Naruto nods quickly, "Yeah uh. I'll be good."

Kuba growled and wanted to rocket forward and beat the tar out of him, but he couldn't do that in front of Hinata. He knew how much those juken strikes hurt, "Womanizer."

Shino just sighed and turned away, dragging Kiba along by the collar, "You can't say anything. You cheered them on at first."

"That was until I heard about everyone and their mom joining in!"

Hinata giggled and pushed both boys along, "I'm fiiine Kiba-kun, don't worry so much." Here her smile widened into something a little too sweet, "Unless you think you know what's better for me?"

Kiba felt a cold shiver work down his spine, "N-no way!"

Naruto shaking his head as the team wandered off to the gate, he re-evaluated what he should be doing today. With Hinata gone there was no chance of removing this seal, and staying out and in the open wasn't a good idea either. Guess it was back home for now to-

Someone landed behind him, gently cradling arms around his waist while a soft form molded into his back. The content sigh that left the woman's lips was enough to clue him in that he most likely wasn't about to die. Maybe. "Uhhh."

"Shhhh." Sakura's voice purred from behind him. "It took me this long to track you down and sneak up on you." Behind him, a petite young woman smirked as her hands began to wander, "Now I have you alllll to myself."

"Uh….You know. Funny thing. I think I left my stove on Sakura-chan." The Naruto of the past would be trying to kick the shit out of present day Naruto, especially with the way the pinkette was pressing herself into his back. Present day Naruto however knew better, and knew that letting Sakura have her way was not going to end well. "Why don't I head home, and I'll meet you for ramen huh? My treat?"

"How about I just come with you and I help you with that pesky stove?"

"My house is probably a mess, I don't think you'd like it."

"Oh I'm sure some teamwork would set everything just right." Those hands were started to dip lower.

"N-n-NO, uh, I mean. I wouldn't want you to get all dirty ya know? I won't be long."

"But if I go with you, we can take all the time we need?" A pause as she pressed herself more fully into him, "Plus, I'll get as dirty as you'd like, Na-ru-to."

'Abort abort! We're gonna die!'

'Stop being such a coward and mount the horny woman!'

'This is all your fault!'

'Don't blame me for your failings!'

'I'm doing that. I'm blaming you for everything!'

'Fuck you!'

'Fuck you!'

'Just for that, I'm adding more chakra to the seal.'

'Wait wait, no! I take it back! Oh wise and powerful Kyuubi-sama! I bow before you, humble and contrite!'

'Too late! Mwuahahaha!'

Naruto could already feel the change come over Sakura. While before she was attempting for quiet sultry, as much as she could in the middle of the road, her rapid breathing and heavy panting that was starting up was all the sign he needed that this would not end well. "Sakura?" Why was she the only one who apparently couldn't tell it was a genjutsu? Everyone else had shook it off right away, so why hadn't she? Unless someone was lying. Were they all being affected still? Was she? Screw it, this was too much thinking.

Harshly spinning him around and holding him by the arms, the shorter woman with impressive strength gave him a wide and crazed look, "You know what? Why don't we just head to the training ground, it's closer. Yeah. Much closer."

Knowing today was a lost cause, Naruto gave a silent prayer to the Kami before looking directly into Sakura's jade eyes, "You know, Sakura-chan. You know what I'd really like?" This was his last ditch effort to protect her dignity. It had nothing to do with the fact that he was sure she would rip little Naruto off once she came back to her senses.

Sakura focused very intently on him in an instant, "No, what's that Naruto?"

"If you really wanna have sex with me, show up at my house in a nurses outfit, enough ramen to feed an army, and…and…" What was something so outlandish she could never make it happen. "And Tsunade in a two piece bikini ready to teach you how to give a real blowjob."

Bouncing in place and saluting smartly, Sakura grinned and nodded, "On it!" And then she was gone, leaving Naruto alone on the road and several people who had been not so subtly listening in to them that were now staring at him with something much like reverence.

Blinking and wondering if he just made a Hokage monument sized mistake, Naruto did at least sigh in relief. "I've got some time at least, need to find somewhere else to live though." Looking around and noticing the looks he was getting were a bit more intense, he jumped away to go find a quiet rooftop to think. 'I'm so going to get you back for this.'

'I'd like to see you try brat.'

'I'll figure something out.' Not like he could rip him out of the seal or give him a body to beat the tar out of him. No. This needed to be psychological.

'A weak point for you, isn't it?'

'Kami, can we go back to when you wanted to kill me?'

'You're more interesting now, I'm entertained.'

'Wonderful.'

Sitting on an air conditioning unit as he was, Naruto had an easy time watching as his teacher Kakashi alighted upon the rooftop to join him. "Gaki."

"Scarecrow." Sitting in silence for a while as Kakashi made himself comfortable to wait for Naruto to work through whatever it was he was thinking about, he slouched against a low wall while relaxing. It was a pretty beautiful day out today. It'd be a shame to be cooped up all day long. "Sensei…"

Broken out of his idle thoughts, Kakashi turned a lazy eye back to his very popular student, "What's up Naruto?"

"Got any advice for your student who suddenly finds himself with everything he ever wanted in life literally being thrown at him?" Naruto looked up to see Kakashi studying him for a short while in silence. "I just. It's not the sex. Though that's great. Really. Awesome ya know? Like…life changing…Litteral bliss-"

"Can you get to the point and not brag the whole time?"

"Ehehe, sorry. Just um. What do I do now? I have women who love me. Really truly love me. They want to be with me, help me rebuild my clan and see me succeed in my goals and all kinds of stuff. I just…do I deserve this?" Sure Tsunade and he had talked about this, but some of it still weighed on him. He needed an opinion from someone he wasn't sticking it to.

Shrugging, Kakashi considered his own good fortune through all of this because of Naruto's mess. Shizune was such a delight. "Well, my opinion? Enjoy every second of it." Seeing Naruto nod slowly, Kakashi smiled and gave him a thumbs up, "I'm sure you'll hear this a lot, but our lives burn blazingly hot but oh so short. Ninja rarely make it to Lady Tsunade's age after all. Hell, even I would normally be close to retiring under war time rules. So, don't sweat the worries, live every day to the fullest, and if you do make plans. Make sure they're meant to continue on for as long as you can imagine. Would hate to set a goal, hit it, and then not know what to do next after all."

Sighing heavily and looking up into the bright sky, Naruto smiles and releases all the tension that had built up in his shoulders, "Thanks sensei. Baa-chan said much the same when I talked to her." Guess it really was that simple.

"Well, she is the Hokage, she would know." Kakashi turns to leave before remembering that he had a reason to track down his knucklehead subordinate. "By the way, in a few days we have a mission to run. Think you'll be all better by then?" They had heard a rumor about Sasuke and Orochimaru being on the move. Best to investigate now before they had a chance to get too far away.

"I um. Still working on that. But I can fight." Seeing his sensei wave and leave in a swirl of leaves, Naruto considered his options for the day before shrugging and turning towards the hotel where he knew Yukie and Sasame were. Wouldn't hurt to go see the girls if he was supposed to be leaving for a mission soon.

-b-

Naruto usually considered himself a pretty lucky individual. Extremely lucky really. Through every twist in fate, determined gutsy attitude, and some real do or die grit he had made it through many a scrape alive and better for it in the end. Right now, as he hung upside down in a rather plush hotel room by his ankles, he considered what he knew. Getting to the hotel had been easy, though distracted as he was, he had decided to take the elevator like a normal person. Yukie was on the top floor anyway, so there were few people who would be up that high regardless. Of course, he had forgotten that Gaara had been in town. And had forgotten further that he had spent two days having sex with his sister. Along with a host of others, but Temari was included in his revelries. So here he was, ankles encased in sand while two very lethal looking puppets pointed sharp objects at his naughty bits.

"Hey Gaara…Kankuro. Been a while huh?"

Kankuro was grinning, fingers twitching and thus, his puppets twitched along with them, "Certainly has squirt. You've gotten big haven't ya?"

Naruto's sweat had sweat at this point, "Yeah uh. Good eating and lots of training really helped out with my growth spurt." Something pressed a bit more firmly into his junk and Naruto chuckled, "Any chance we can do away with the knives?"

"Can you take back having defiled our sister?" Kankuro was again, taking the lead here.

"Uh…no?"

"No can do buddy."

Gaara finally sighed, eyes still focused on Naruto, "You could have visited at least once, you know, as friends."

"I meant to! You try and get Jiraiya of all people to focus on anything that doesn't have a pair of tits attached." Seeing they weren't convinced, Naruto continued, "Look, guys, c'mon. It's me. Naruto the knucklehead. You know I wouldn't do anything to hurt your sister."

Kankuro was grinning as Karasu began to rattle in a sinister way, "Well since you've put your dirty paws on her, you're just going to have to get married to her. It's only the right thing to do."

Gaara nods, "I agree. It'd be good to call you brother."

Eyes going wide as all of his life's luck seemed to be draining away, Naruto flinched as the hotel room door banged open and smashed against the wall. All three men turned to see a glaring Temari standing there with her battle fan at her back and wearing Naruto's overlarge Jacket over her normal clothes. "You idiots!"

Kankuro began to sweat now while Naruto gave thanks to every Kami in existence. "H-h-hey sis. Just uh. Giving the punk a little talk was all. Nothing serious. Right buddy? Nothing scary right?" Kankuro began to plead with his eye as Naruto got the idea that Kankuro and maybe even Gaara were deathly afraid of the spunky blond.

"Uh huh. Gaara, drop him." Temari watched as the sand user did just that, Naruto only just barely able to land on his feet as Kankuro's puppets pulled away. "I need to have a word with him myself. But when I get back?" Temari grinned as Naruto hightailed it out of the room and into the hallway. "I'll be having words with you both." And then she was gone, door closing with just as much force as it was opened with.

Kankuro sighed with relief and turned to his younger brother, "Well that could have been worse."

"She's going to dismantle your puppets and bury them in the desert again."

Kankuro knew that his sister absolutely would do that again. It had taken him weeks to find all the pieces to Kuroari. "Why does she go after me? You helped!"

"She knows I only did it because you convinced me to do it." Here Gaara began to smirk, "I'm just the emotionally stunted little brother. I don't know any better."

"Bullshit! You scam artist!" Kankuro pointed an accusing finger at the red head, who was already turning away to go back to his own room, "This isn't fair!"

"That's your karma for messing with Naruto." A nap sounded lovely right now, he'd have to thank Naruto's sensei for fixing his seal someday. Being the Kazekage really did come with some amazing perks.

Outside of the room and walking down the hall, Temari was laughing and slapping Naruto on the back as they walked along. "Seriously, how did you let them get ahold of you? You evaded your villages Anbu for two days straight."

Naruto shrugged, "I have a lot of practice with Anbu, not so much angry brothers." Grinning as the smaller woman danced around him to walk backwards so she could stare at him, He got a good view of lots of cleavage. "Sooo, guessin' you're still in a good mood."

Temari was still smiling, "I'm in a wonderful mood. I've got a real hunky guy who knows what he's doing, I get to rile up my brothers whenever I want, and I get to just relax and be me for a short while. It's nice." Not having to stand on ceremony with someone was always refreshing. People forgot that she was still her own person, not just the Kazekage's sister.

Scratching his head and nodding, Naruto smiled back at her, "Well, I think you're pretty awesome Temari, so don't stop being yourself anytime soon okay?" Smirking at her as she blushed, Naruto looked up and saw he was at Yukie's door. "This is my stop. Did you need anything from me-" Lips sealed with Temari's, Naruto's arms came around to embrace her as she did her best to steal his breath away.

Gasping as she pulled away, arms wrapped around his neck and being forced up on her tiptoes for a moment, Temari was suddenly feeling very shy. "Look. Um. I don't get compliments from guys often, so if you keep stuff like that up, you're never going to get rid of me." Shuddering as Naruto's hands trailed down her back, she locks eye with him as his smile turns into something more gentle. "What? Wanna fight about it?"

Chuckling and kissing her forehead, Naruto shook his head, "No way. I know how hard that fan of yours is and I don't need anymore bumps to the head." Letting Temari pull away, Naruto motioned inside, "Wanna meet the Spring Daimyo? Something tells me she would love you."

Shaking her head and getting her heart rate under control, Temari began to turn back the way she came, "I need to go smack my brothers around a bit. Maybe next time." Here she reached out and squeezed his hand, "Don't be a stranger okay? Come visit when you can."

Naruto nods as they let go of each other, "I will, honest." Seeing her wink at him and saunter off with a wiggle in her step, Naruto knocks and the door and waits for Yukie to let him in. After a moment the door opens to a smiling and relaxed looking Sasame standing there in her own ninja attire. "Yo."

"Yo yourself Naruto-kun. What brings you today?" Here Sasame backs away to let him in before a smirk builds on her face, "Looking for a repeat?"

"No no, nothing like that." Well, unless they had the time. "Just want to see how you both were doing and maybe plan things out." Sasame nods as they both leave the entry way and make their way out to the living room were he had found them the previous night. Yukie was here as well, though the low table in front of the couch was full of paperwork and she was mostly dressed today. "Hey Yukie."

Not looking up from her task, Yukie waved his way, "Hello Naruto. Just the man I wanted to see." Yukie absently held up a piece of paper and waved it his way. He took it and her free hand went back to shuffling papers around, "Did you know the Uzumaki used to be a pretty big deal?"

"I did not know that." Naruto looked down at the form he was currently holding. "What's this?" Clan restoration act? The hell was that?

"Just a formality at this point. But because your clan was a founding Konoha clan, you're entitled to certain, benefits." Here Yukie sighed and leaned back into the couch as she stretched her arms up and over her head. Sasame came to sit next to her and picked up a folder she had been reading through herself. "That's just to make sure no one raises a stink about you getting married to a few literal princesses."

Choking on his spit, Naruto read the paper in his hand. "Recipient is entitled to…that's me I guess…funds for clan compound…village assistance…council recognition…" Reading on and on as he went, the weight of something large and imposing was suddenly back on his shoulders. "Oh shit."

Sasame giggled as Naruto dropped bonelessly into a chair. "You're a clan head now. Well, will be. Between myself, Yukie, Hinata, Temari and Ino, that's more than three and that makes a clan."

"Uh. Ino isn't decided on that, neither is Temari."

Yukie leveled her gaze at him, "Temari won't be going anywhere. Trust me." Yukie knew her type. Naruto was a prime catch and she knew that.

Sasame nodded along as well, "Ino will stick around, if she knows what's good for her." Sasame had her own plans in mind for the blond.

Staring down at the form that was waiting for his signature, Naruto chuckled before resting his arms on his legs. "This is really happening."

Sasame nods, "Better believe it Naruto. Your family just got a lot bigger."

Emotions running high and unable to stop the smile that bloomed on his lips, Naruto settled in to watch both women, "Well, then what do I need to do?"

Yukie pointed at the form in his hands, "You'll need to submit that to the Hokage and she'll bring you before the council I'm sure. After that I'm sure either she or the council will have more instructions for you."

Sasame bounced over to land in his lap. "Isn't this exciting? We're going to put the Uzumaki back on the map!"

Naruto is swept up in her energy and nods along, "That's right! Let's bring the Uzumaki clan back with a bang!"

Sasame giggles as Naruto hugs her tightly to him, "Your phrasing could use some work. But we can get to the banging part in a bit"

"Probably."

'Absolutely.'

'I thought you went to sleep or something.'

'Your life is too fun not to watch.'

'Pervert.'

'Let me have this!'

Pulling the woman in his lap closer to him, Naruto basked in the warmth around him. Life was going to be okay. The future had so many possibilities.

-AN-

Honestly, I wasn't going to update this. But I had this in my drafts folder for a while and I decided it needed to be uploaded. Just a sweet little cooldown to show what could be. I think I'm going to do a full story based on this fic. But it'll most likely be restricted to teen. There's plenty we can do for fun without going full graphic after this specific fic is done for good this time.

Anyway. Hope everyone is finding some comfort in life where they can. Maybe not to this Naruto's levels, but hey if ya are, share your secrets would ya?

Wolfy, out.
