~With Sasuke~
~Aftermath of battle~
Sasuke woke up and looked around to find himself in a dark room with only a small desk lamp producing light.
"Oh your awake, it's about time..." a calm voice came from in the shadow's
"Who's there! Show yourself!!" Sasuke demanded.
The man obliged and stepped forward to reveal himself as Tobi.
The second Tobi came into view however Sasuke's eye twitched and black flame's shot from it latching themselves onto Tobi's robes.
Tobi Screamed in agony and stumbled back into the shadow's. Seconds later however he returned with no signs of injury.
"Well I must say Itachi never fail's to impress me.." Tobi's childish persona was gone.
"What are you talking about?" Sasuke asked confused.
"Itachi implanted the Amaterasu in your eyes so that it would activate upon seeing my sharingan." Tobi stated plainly.
"What do you mean your sharingan? Why would Itachi do that?" Sasuke asked now throughly confused.
"Why That's simple, I'm an Uchiha to answer your fist question and secondly Itachi gave you that gift to protect you, my guess was it is what finally killed him. You see Itachi loved you more than anything, he was even willing to disobey order's to keep you safe.." Tobi was enjoying the looks of utter confusion on Sasuke's face.
"What do you mean he loved me!! He killed my whole family and tortured me for hours!!" Sasuke spat out.
"Ah yes, but did you ever wonder why he left you alive. Itachi was the most loyal shinobi that Konoha had ever produced, you see Itachi was ordered to wipe out you clan because they were planning a coup de tat of Konoha and all negotiation's were going nowhere. So in the end the village elder's and Danzo talked the Hokage into exterminating the clan and Itachi who had been a spy for the Hokage from within the Uchiha clan was chosen to wipe out them all." Tobi said.
"I take it your the one that helped, I have been thinking about it and it doesn't seem possible that he did it all by himself." Sasuke said.
"Of course I did, the Uchiha clan betrayed me and I wanted to see them die for there betrayal. I came to Itachi and offered to help, once he found out who I was and what I planed to do he agreed on the condition that I spare Konoha." Tobi said with a laugh.
"Who are you? Prove that your an Uchiha and I might believe you!" Sasuke demanded his arrogance returning.
Not very wise Uchiha Sasuke.
"Very well.." said Tobi and he went and removed his mask to show Sasuke his sharingan.
"Allow me to introduce myself.."
~One Week Later~
~Hokage's Office~
It had been a week since the Uchiha brothers retrieval team had come back from the failure of a mission.
Naruto had asked Kakashi to be dismissed early and didn't even come to see Tsunade first which took her by surprise. Hell, even after the mission he had still not come to see her which worried Tsunade.
'I should go see him today...this gaki will give me grey hairs worrying about him.' Tsunade ran her fingers through her hair seeing a grey hair.
She really was getting old.
There was then a knock at the door following a very mellow Shizune with a scroll in her hands.
"Tsunade-sama, a message from Sunagakure." She laid it on Tsunade's desk waiting for her to see what it was.
"What could Gaara want I wonder.." Tsunade opened the scroll reading it a smile started to form as she got further and further down which had then turned into a lopsided grin.
"What is it?" Asked Shizune trying to figure out what was making her master act like this.
"Suna is having a masquerade ball and inviting all their allies, Daimyo's and neighboring villages to join them. They also sent an invitation to the new Mizukage for possible to peace and trade talks." Tsunade said a bright idea coming to her mind.
"Tsunade-sama what exactly are you planning?" Her old apprentice raised her eye suspiciously not really envying the mischievous side of her master.
"Well for starters It's going to be a formal event, black tie for the gentlemen and all gold, white, and or black for the ladies. Secondly, there's a gaki that most likely need ms cheering up and the cure is in Suna. Thirdly...there is no true third reason but probably getting a new treaty with Kiri is a plus." Tsunade grinned wickedly at her surprisingly well-ish thought out plan.
"Oi, Shizune take over for me for a little bit I gotta deliver some news to him."
"Wait!-" It was to late..Tsunade had already made a dash towards the window with her dumbfounded assistant left behind with her jaw hanging.
"Why is it always me!!!" Shizune punched the hard wooden desk out of anger then immediately regretted it when her fist started throbbing in pain.
"FUCK!!" Who would've thought Shizune used that type of language.
Blame her master.
~With Tsunade~
~One hour later~
"Where the hell could this damn brat be!!?" Tsunade growled in frustration it had been over an hour and she couldn't find Naruto anywhere.
She couldn't find him at Ichiraku's, team seven's training grounds, the Yamanaka flower shop not even his compound lead to any clues of where he was.
She sat down on a bench in a park she somehow ended up at.
Was he really trying to hide from her?
"Hello Hokage-sama, you look a bit lost." A a familiar lazy voice spoke from behind her.
Shikaku Nara, the Jonin commander and head strategist of Konoha was looking down at his Hokage.
"Ah Shikaku-san, I'm just trying to track down someone who is impossible to find right now...hell I'm at least mediocre in tracking but hell this brat knows how to hide..."Tsunade started to rumble on and on about how the blonde haired brat was difficult finding.
"Firstly, please just call me Shikaku the honorics are too much of a drag as it is already.." he groaned.
Tsunade honestly forgot how easygoing the Nara's could be to talk to sometimes.
"Mmmh maybe I can help you, after all ever since he was young he was able to outrun Anbu and hide from those who were looking for him. It may not have looked like it but the boy had a strategy every time Anbu or the civilians were looking for him." Shikaku said with a hint of malice and disgust at mentioning the civilians who treaters their Yondaime's legacy like shit.
Tsunade lowered her head on that last part. She saw Naruto's medical records which were horrible.
From being Beaten half to death from when he was younger and being thrown out of a orphanage when he was just three and all the neglect she has no idea how the hell he hasn't went insane from it and burn the village down.
If she had took responsibility for Minato sooner he probably wouldn't be in that grave and would still be here to see his once baby boy grow up.
"You know, he always hid in places that brought him comfort...to him that comfort was the type he could never get while growing up...so instead the the same person he looked up to as a kid became someone more than that when he got older.." Shikaku lazily took a drag of his cigarette looking up at the Yondaime's head with a peaceful face.
'What the hell is up with this Nara and riddles...I know he's trying to help but he's doing a better job at pissing me off than that.'
She gritted her teeth but calmed herself looking up at Minato's head also. This made her think about what Shikaku said about Naruto...she lifted her eyes up in realization and instantly brightened.
"Thank you Shikaku!!" Tsunade grinned madly running towards the Hokage monument.
"Blondes are such a drag..." he sighed taking a smoke smirking as he watched the Hokage's disappearing form.
~5 minutes later~
She was up on the Hokage monument and sure enough her favorite ball of sunshine was up there without a care in the world, having his hands behind his head and back on the ground where he had laid a blanket.
Tsunade was pretty sure he knew she was there but just chose not to say anything.
"You know I've been looking for you for awhile right." She went and sat right next to him. Even then he still didn't open his eyes.
"Hmm Hmm.." he hummed, Tsunade was wondering what the hell was wrong with him.
That mission couldn't have messed him up that bad could it?
"Okay, what the hell is wrong with you Naruto...you're being so dismissive and I did not come here for this type of attitude, and please look at me when I'm taking to you." He knew Tsunade wasn't playing either.
While she wanted to try and comfort him business had to come first.
She sighed, "Look, I just came here to tell you I want you to be one of my bodyguards and company me to Suna'a masquerade ball their having this year. I'd figure you want to go to clear your head..."
Naruto was sitting up at full attention looking at the woman who was like a mother/ grandmother to him.
"Baa-Chan..." he looked her directly in her eyes.
"I let a friend down...how can I say I wanna even be Hokage when I couldn't even honor a man's final wish. Hell that's not even the worst of it..." Naruto kept rambling and rambling about how he wasn't good enough about how he shouldn't even be alive and how the villagers were right to say those things when he was younger.
Tsunade couldn't take it anymore, she cut him out of his rambling by hugging him into a rough embrace.
"You Baka little ball of sunshine!! You are so much better than what you've made yourself out to be...you are literally (besides Shizune-she added) the only biological family I have left. It truly does hurt me to see you this way Naruto...it also hurts when you avoid me and not tell me what's wrong with you." Kissing the top of his forehead like she had done after the first time they met.
"This isn't the way you should deal with what you are going through. You have people who care about you and I'll be damned if I see my successor give up this easily." Tsunade grinned.
Naruto looked up at her with those electric azure eyes with shock then chuckled.
Tsunade really had a way with words.
"Damn straight!" They both laughed leaning into each other relaxing.
"But seriously Naruto don't you ever avoid me again...next time I won't be was as gentle.." a threat that he would sure never forget later with venom.
"Y-yes ma'am." He laughed nervously.
"Good, bow how bout some ramen!" Nodding his head vigorously basically dragging the Hokage down to his favorite ramen stand.
~Kirigakure~
~Mizukage office~
Inside of the Mizukage's office, Mei Terumi the Godaime Mizukage sat at her desk, a stack of papers on either side of her. She suppressed a yawn, small but hardly noticeable bags under her green emerald eyes.
The blue band that held part of her hair up in a top-knot was on the floor, her long, auburn hair a mess. She almost ignored the first three knocks, managing to catch the last one.
"Are there any good quality men left these days..?" Some random part of her dreamed.
A certain blonde haired shinobi from Konohagakure sneezed.
"Come in." She scribbled over one of the papers, stamping it as well. After moving it to one of the stacks, she looked up, catching sight of two of her shinobi one of which was an older shinobi named Ao and a teen that went by the name of Chojuro.
"What is it Ao, Chojuro?" She questioned.
"Mizukage-sama, you have received a letter from Sunagakure's Kazekage. It's not urgent but should still be looked at.." The eyepatch man said.
Taking the scrolll from his hand she read it to be revealed what sounded like an invitation.
"M-mizukage-sama, w-what does it s-say?" Wondered a curious Chojuro.
Before Mei could say anything Ao had just then chosen the time to lecture Chojuro about respect.
"Chojuro mind your self! Back in my day the youth were respectful to their elders and held their tongue when certain engagements took course." Ao rambled
Meanwhile, Mei was only hearing selected words from what Ao was saying to her.
'Youth...engagement...elder..as in I'm already to old to be wed..' she summarised her thoughts, a the shinigami looming over her face.
She brought her face close to Ao, a sickly sweet smile on her face and said, "Ao, shut up or I'll kill you..."
"Wh-What did I do!" Ao had a horrified expression on his face.
"Hmm, as I was saying the Kazekage had invited us to his land's masquerade ball they're having this year. I figure this is the best opportunity to present to other contact that Kirigakure is not weak from the civil war but prove to them we are thriving since I didn't get a chance to when Konoha had a chunin exams three years ago." Mei said confidently.
"I agree w-with you m-mizukage-sama!" Said the cute as a mouse young man.
'He usually stays out of stuff like this...my young Chojuro is growing up.' She smiled happily at the boy.
"Then it's decided, we will be going to Sunagakure to show them Kirigakure is stron even after the trials we went through!"
"Mei-sama we need to tell the council about this!!" Ao pleaded but fell on deaf ears as the two other occupants in the room quietly celebrated.
~Four days later~
~Sunagakure village gates~
"Welcome to Suna! May we see your passports please and reason for visiting?"
Tsunade nodded and produced all their paperwork. She would have done her infamous finger flick to the forehead, but she had to be diplomatic nowadays.
Besides...Naruto might not like it if she harmed his lover's people.
"Gah! Tsu-hime we should have just used the gaki's Hiraishin so we wouldn't have to trek through the desert for Damn near a day and a half!!" Jiraya the mighty Sannin whined.
SMACK!
Tsunade had smacked the back of Jiraya's head for complaining so damn much then lecturing him.
After Jiraya had came back from a spy mission Tsunade had wanted him to be one of her guards to go to Suna.
Naruto could only stand there and snicker in amusement.
And Jiraya talks about him being whipped.
"Brat! Don't laugh!!! Help your beloved sensei!!"
"Nope, you got yourself into this and you can get yourself out.." Ahhhh, payback sure was refreshing.
Taking a look at his surroundings he sighed in familiarity and a bit of relief.
Although he had been to Suna multiple times now, he had always found him himself awestruck by it's architecture.
The sandstone pillars that encompassed the front gates screamed safety from the intense weather, but it also gave the city a bit of a regal feel.
After all their bickering came to a halt when they saw the Kazekage and his siblings walking towards them with friendly looks.
"Hello Hokage-dono, Jiraya-sama, Naruto...I hope your journey here wasn't much trouble." Gaara politely said watching as Tsunade took her Hokage hat off.
"Of course not, though with these two plus the heat tend to make things unbearable." Tsunade eyes twitched.
"Well we know you'll all must be tired so we'll go ahead and send you to our finest hotel named the Oasis Desert Dragon so you may rest." Temari said smiling at the sight of Naruto.
'Oi!! She was just cussing up a storm about how her shitty day was going...love is such a drag.' Thought a sweat dropping Kankuro.
Meanwhile in Konoha, nearly all of those men belonging to the Nara clan sneezed.
As the group was walking towards their hotel making polite conversation the way Tsunade almost forgot to mention something she had been wondering ever since she knew about it.
"Hey, isn't the new mizukage supposed to be here?" Tsunade questioned.
"She should be arriving in a few hours from now. Since they live further away it would take them about a week at most to arrive here." Gaara said.
While they were talking the rest of the group was not oblivious to the two younger blondes who were walking close together engaged in their own conversations. Gah! Tsunade couldn't wait till the day she had those granbabies!!
As they arrived at the hotel they got themselves checked in the sand siblings were about to leave but not before telling them they were free to enjoy the village until the ball tomorrow evening.
With a wave of goodbye they left but not before Temari got a chance to slip a note to Naruto.
Meet me at 8:30 outside the village at west gate ;)
"Looks like someone's been missing you.." He could practically see Kurama smirking.
'She's not the only someone who's been missing somebody.'
"Oi, brat! Stop daydreaming and let's go to our rooms!" Jiraya said walking with Tsunade to their rooms.
Tsunade and Jiraya had both agreed to share a room while Naruto got a room to himself which he was truly thankful for. Kami knows he couldn't stand Jiraya's snoring ass anymore.
"Tch, you know what..I actually want to explore the village so see you two later.." that wasn't true, he just wanted to stay the hell away from their love nest.
Giving him an okay to go he walked out the door to see what Suna's people had to offer.
He couldn't go see Temari until the time given.
Gaara was busy being Kazekage and all had its duties.
And Kankuro...as much as he liked the guy he was a big hell no.
He was left with one option left he really didn't feel like doing while he was here and that was training.
While walking he hear someone call his name he's least aspect it from.
"Hello, Naruto-San..." a deep voice said.
Shit, the only person Temari could call father. The only person that would most likely kill him without hesitation if he broke her heart.
"Hello, Baki-san...how have you've been?" He asked.
Baki, good ole' Baki...he remembered when Temari had tried to introduce them to each other so her sensei/father figure could get to know her boyfriend but had to be canceled because Jiraya had an emergency scroll calling him away meaning he had to go too.
"I've been alright, I see you are heading towards the training grounds for guests..I hope you wouldn't mind some light sparring?" Baki questioned.
Naruto nodded his head but then caught a glint in Baki's eye that made him a bit uneasy...this 'light spar' might be a bit personal...
"Sure, I need to keep busy somehow while I'm here.." he grinned.
Heading towards the sandy trading grounds they first had to lay out some rules to they wouldn't draw attention of Anbu or possibly the Kazekage himself coming the area.
"Okay Naruto-san let us begin.." Baki smiled sinisterly.
'Oh fuck me...' What had he done in his past life to deserve this...he watched as Baki began to form several hand seals but didn't move from his spot.
As his hand seals finished several blades of wind shot toward the blonde. Naruto effortlessly jumped back out of the way. The attack left a large cut in the ground.
"I certainly hope that's not it?" Naruto asked feigning ignorance.
The Suna Jonin didn't reply but let a small smirk cross his features as the ground beneath the blonde erupted and the same blades of wind appeared, surrounding the jinchuuriki, rapidly closing in to cut him into tiny pieces.
"You know Namikaze...what makes you think your good enough for Temari?" Baki slightly demanded.
Naruto for one though wasn't offended. Hell, if he was in Baki's position he'd want to know what some Bastard was doing to his daughter/adoptive daughter too.
"Baki-san, I love Temari, I don't how or when I realised but I just do. I would never hurt Temari, but, as for my intentions... I'm hoping I can live a full life with her, do what every other normal couple does, what my parents did, but, I'm not normal. I could die at any time, with Akatsuki after me, maybe I won't ever get those things but that won't stop me from loving her like she deserves or giving her exactly what she wants or needs." Baki saw the pain and love in the blondes eyes he had for his goddaughter.
He also wasn't going to mention the fact he fell in love with Temari when he was balls deep inside her. cough-bad move-cough
When they hit however, Naruto burst into smoke, and the blades of wind carried on crashing into some nearby sand dunes slicing them in half picking up sand everywhere.
"A fucking Kage Bunshin!" Baki said in frustration.
Baki scanned the landscape looking for the blonde but he was nowhere to be found.
'Then that means!' He jumped at the right time, Naruto appearing from below the ground in an almost casual fashion.
"And if for some reason I do hurt her, accidently or purposefully, she'd be kicking my ass before you could even hope to, the righteous female fury and all that." Naruto scratched his cheek sheepishly.
"What the hell are you doing? You are far too strong to be troubled by a simple jutsu like this. So why run from them, you could simply dodge the jutsu if you wanted too with ease?" The Kurama asked in a lazy drawl as Naruto slipped effortlessly through in between the wind blades and shot back in the other direction.
'I'm just testing him out, give me a little credit kurama.' Naruto sighed in response.
'I give credit where it is due, and you are very rarely due any.'
'But I do have my moments right?' Naruto asked slightly amused at his antics.
'Just shut up and focus on what you're doing. If you're not careful you might actually get hurt.' The fox scoffed.
'Good to know you are worried about me.' Naruto chuckled while forming a Katon hand seal, moment's later breathing out a large stream of kitsune fire that engulfed the pursuing wind blades.
Evidently the Baki was not finished with his attack just yet, once more racing through a plethora of hand seals and thrusting his hand forward rocketing an incredibly fast yet small ball of compressed wind.
Naruto was still easily faster and vaulted out of the way, but the attack didn't end there.
The Suna Jonin continued to thrust his palm forward firing a chain of the jutsu that didn't seem to be stopping, the damage each one caused as it struck the ground where the blonde jinchuuriki had been standing was quite impressive, as was his aim.
Each blast was perfectly on target, with only Naruto's quick feet preventing a direct hit.
Anybody that knew Naruto knows that at some point He would stop running and when he did the fight probably wouldn't last much longer, but he had to admit that Baki was strong enough to be given the title of Kage.
"So tell me this boy.." Baki lightly mocked him but Naruto stopped his fighting to hear the mans reason.
"What would you do if she were to tell you she was carrying your child...would you run away like a cowardly dead beat..." He spat with resentment filled in his voice.
"Or would you be her shining light and do what you have to do..." Baki looked directly into Naruto's eyes searching.
"...I'd protect our child and her as long as I'm in this world.." Naruto's voice filled with determination.
Baki kept his face neutral but in the inside he was seething in happiness, he really liked the boy.. he was good for Temari and could trust him with her life.
He truly didn't want to see history repeat itself, he didn't want Naruto to end up like Rasa and Temari to end up like her mother.
The Jonin had not relented in his continuous assault on Naruto, as he rapidly fired Fuuton jutsu at the Jinchuuriki who seemed to be taking the entire exercise as a game. In fact he could often be heard laughing as the potentially life threatening would come close but ultimately Naruto would move out of the way.
"You certainly are an interesting person Naruto-san!" Baki yelled as he fired yet another volley of Fuuton jutsu towards Naruto.
"This is great reaction training. Maybe you should try something else if you actually want to hit me!" Naruto chuckled.
Never before had someone been able to avoid his jutsu so easily.
'This jutsu is designed to take out armies, so why is it that I can not hit the kid!! It looks like I will need to change things up a little...'
Regardless the recent way of things continued, with Naruto attempting nothing in the way of attack and simply avoiding the Baki's assault.
Silently Naruto was somewhat impressed that Baki could maintain such a chakra intensive attack for so long. In the last minute his aim had begun to become less accurate.
Naruto payed it no mind until a group of the small blades stopped in mid air before they would hit.
"Let's continue this spar I want to finish it to the very end..." Baki said with a smirk.
"You've read my mind Baki-san."
~Unknown location~
Pein was sitting in a dark room as the rain fell outside and the blue haired kunoichi stood beside him. It seemed as though they were waiting for something and that appeared to be true as the air before them distorted and Madara appeared.
"How did it go?" Pein asked mildly interested.
"It was not difficult, I sent Sasuke in preparation to capture the Hachibi but it could take awhile, however you will need to act quickly afterwords as the Raikage will want revenge for his brother and will most likely call for action against us from the other village's, so you will have to strike three day's after we capture the Hachibi at the latest before they strengthen the guard around the Kyuubi." Madara said.
"Why would that matter. Nobody can defeat Pein-sama." The blue kunoichi said confidently.
"Maybe, but it would be rather unwise to underestimate the Kyuubi brat." Madara said with a small amount of venom.
"It make's no difference, he is a boy while I am a god!" Pein said.
"It is just a warning you would do well to remember it..." Madara plainly stated.
"Then your warning is noted. But once I am finished all of Konoha will know Pain." Pein said confidence evident in his voice.
"Very well, I have some thing's to attend to." Madara said before disappearing again leaving the two others alone.
"I don't trust him, there is something about that man that is off." the blue haired kunoichi warned.
"He is a mean's to an end. He is not strong enough to defeat me no matter what he thinks..." Pein said and he stood up from his chair and walked out into the rain.
~A few hours later~
~Outside Sunagakure~
Naruto was not necessarily in one of the best moods. After the sparring with Baki left his body completely sore and stiff not even wanting to get out of the bed.
"But it was honestly one of the best spars I have ever had." He couldn't help but quietly admit to himself
While contemplating in his head he didn't notice The person stalked up behind him and slid their arms around him, breaking Naruto out of his thoughts.
Naruto sighed as he looked down at the hand circling his waist.
"We'll have to be quick, you see I have this lover at the moment, I think I'm in love with her and I don't want her to catch us up here." He said it so seriously that the person paused for a second before lowering their head to Naruto's neck to bite him.
"It's me." Temari whispered in his ear as Naruto groaned from the sharp bite.
That'll definitely leave a mark.
"So, what's this about a girl you love?"
Naruto chuckled and turned in her arms to gaze into her beautiful eyes as she bit her lip smirking like the little vixen she was.
He wrapped his own arms around her waist and placed his hands on the small of her back, grazing the top of her very soft cheeks. "Hmm, you look just like her." He commented with a growing grin.
"You see, there's this girl, we made love and fucked like wild animals many, many, many of times back at her home and mine and ever since then I just can't get her out of my head. But, there's a problem..."
"Hmm?" Temari tilted her head questionably, playing along with what he was doing.
"We live in different villages, I know we've not spent a lot of time with each other but I want us to be together, I don't know ho-"
He was shut up as Temari pressed her lips into his, wrapping her arms around his neck giving him nowhere to run, and he slowly started to give into her.
As he tightened his arms around her waist, she ran her fingers lovingly through his hair.
He pressed her into him, their body's grinding against each other as she brought a leg up to hook around his hips to grind her now wet entrance against her fellow blonds increasing bulge as she felt a desperate need to be filled by him.
"Shhhh...follow me. We'll get what we both need.." Temari grabbed his hand leading him to a random direction.
"May I ask where your taking me?" He raised an amused eye.
"It's a secret for now.." she winked at him with that beautiful devious smile of hers.
After walking for about fifteen minutes they finally came across a cave that seemed to have nothing inside of it. Or at least that was what some people would think.
"Kai.." came the quick mutter of Temari releasing a genjustu casted upon the cave.
"Whoa..it's beautiful." Naruto was taken back by the scenery of the cave, it had one of the most beautiful small waterfalls he had ever seen with a tad bit of greenery he didn't even think Suna had.
Then the water...the water was a sight to behold itself. The water was so glistening blue as they were in the moonlight.
"I was thinking we could go for a little skinny dipping."
Temari nuzzled Naruto's neck. "That's all you want?"
Naruto grinned. She was reading his mind again. "You'll just have to wait and see."
Temari pulled back and slowly loosened the knot of her obi, letting the red silk fall to the ground.
Naruto turned to watch her as her black kimono fell open, revealing a black skinny thong underwear and a back laced black bra. Putting her hands on her hips, she stood with no fear or embarrassment even going as far as to pulling that off as well.
"Your turn." She smirked
Naruto grinned slyly again and stood. With not a word or comment, he lifted his black t-shirt up and over his head and let it drop to the ground.
His mesh armor hugged his muscles closely and nearly had Temari drooling as his hands moved to his belt and let his pants fall, leaving him as naked as the day he was born.
As they submerged in the water they went far enough to where the water stopped at Temari's breasts.
"How'd you find this place?" He murmured rubbing the water over both of them.
Temari looked at Naruto for a moment before truthfully answering.
"This is an old place where Sunans couples used to swim believing that the god of wind and love blessed it themselves. A place where lovers come to consummate their love for one another."
Naruto was truly stunned at her words. What she did was like truly taking another step in their relationship... a really big step.
He'd just outdo her when he gets the chance.
"Well, let's start shall we?" He huskily whispered into her ear.
(SMALL LEMON ALERT!!!)
"We shall..." his voice sent shivers up Temari's spine as he also stroked her side lovingly.
Temari shivered, feeling goosebumps break out over her exposed skin. She lifted a hand to Naruto's left bisep while placing the other on his neck, just behind his ear, her thumb lightly stroking his strong jaw line.
Naruto broke the kiss, letting his lips trail over Temari's neck, leaving a deep red mark behind.
'Probably should have told him no marking tonight..'
Sliding both hands under the surface of the water, he cupped the backs of Temari's thighs and hoisted her up so her legs wrapped around his waist.
The two groaned as Temari's core brushed Naruto's erection on the way up. Pulling his lips away from Temari's neck, Naruto met her eyes.
"Do you trust me?" he asked.
Temari nodded. "With my life."
That was all he needed to hear.
Naruto smiled. "Hold your breath."
Temari was confused but did as Naruto asked. Once she took in a deep breath, she felt them falling and the water rushing over them as Naruto fell to his knees, still holding Temari's body to his own.
Once they settled on the bottom, Naruto opened his eyes, not effected at all by the water and saw Temari do the same. They shared a small smile before their lips came together again.
As the kiss grew more passionate, Naruto found his footing and brought them back to the surface.
The water caressed over their faces and bodies as Temari allowed his tongue access to her mouth, moaning at the feel.
Still keeping Temari close, Naruto moved them to shallower water and placed her down, resting her back in the soft sand.
While his hands lingered on her back, he angled his head to deepen the kiss while gently rubbing her body by the ebbing waves of the small body of water.
Temari pulled away from Naruto's lips and let the back of her head fall into the water as Naruto slipped his hand to stroke the sensitive skin of her breast, teasing the nipple to a stiff peak.
Leaning down, he welcomed the feeling of the water flowing between their bodies as he took her nipple into his mouth, sucking gently.
Moaning at the feeling of Naruto's lips and tongue stroking her breast, Temari slid her hands over his back and up into his hair. She could feel her own hair ties slipping out and found she could care less.
Naruto switched breasts and let his hands slide down Temari's abdomen, massaging the muscles gently going even lower to massage her womanhood.
Their bare skin slid together as their lips met once more, Temari's arms tightening around his neck while Naruto and pulled her close by the waist.
Linking their hands together, Naruto moved their hands up and under Temari's head as he kissed her lightly.
"Ready?" he asked, his voice deeper then normal.
Temari nodded. "Of course,"
Taking her lips in another passionate kiss, Naruto lined himself up with Temari's core and pushed forward gently, joining their bodies together sweetly. They let out twin groans into their kiss as Naruto settled as far in as he could go with Temari's legs wrapped tightly around his waist.
Pressing their foreheads together, Naruto fought to control himself while Temari adjusted to him. He had at times always waited for her, putting her above himself.
"Naruto," Temari whispered. "please,"
Naruto groaned softly and started moving his hips back and forth, pulling himself nearly all the way out before thrusting back in, angling his hips just right to stroke Temari in exactly the right places that had her moaning and panting in pleasure.
"Naruto...faster.." she moaned and pleaded.
And he gave her just that. Making sure she would be fully satisfied.
Placing a hot, open mouthed kiss on her exposed neck, Naruto let out his own moan as Temari dragged her short nails down his back, along his spine so hard scratch mark were sure to appear.
His pleasure heightened and he knew neither of them would last long.
"Shit...I won't last kind like this.."
"Then-mmhm-don't...I want you to fill me Naruto..before we go our...separate ways." she breathed out.
"Don't mind If I do.." she could hear some cockiness in his voice.
Speeding up his thrusts, Naruto reached a hand down between them and started stroking Temari's clit in time with his thrusts, causing her back to arch as she gasped for breath and her climax approached with rapid speed.
Temari slammed her eyes shut in pleasure as her orgasm rushed over her and she felt more then heard Naruto trying to find his own release as he pressed their bodies together.
~Sunagakure village gates~
~Same time~
"Thank Kami we finally made it..." Ao murmured dreadfully.
As soon as they had gotten approval of the council to be the representative of Kiri they had traveled as fast as they could to reach Suna to make it in time for the masquerade ball.
They had been traveling in the dreadfully dry desert for two days.
"I for once agree with you, I don't understand how the natives here survive in this type of climate." Mei sighed...this was most definitely not her type of climate.
"I a-agree..." the ever shy talkibg Chojuro
"Hello! Welcome to Sunagakure Mizukage-sama. Kazekage should be here in a moment to welcome you himself and show you to your living quarters." The guard bowed slightly.
"Arigato chunin-san." The mizukage used her flirtatious tone causing the poor chunin to gain heart eyes.
"A-anytime mizukage-sama..." the sighing chunin couldn't keep his eyes off of her.
"Something about this trip though...I really think I'll have one interesting time here." Silently mused the mizukage.
'Why do I feel lie there's a shit storm coming..' Ao rubbed his temples in frustration..
He was getting too old for this shit.
~The next morning~
~Naruto's room~
"Wake up Naruto, we're about to get breakfast!"
A knocking sound woke Naruto from his very pleasant dreams. He tried to wrap his hands on what he was hoping what was his girlfriend.
This didn't work out very well for the simple reason that he just felt a pillow as her replacement. But he did find a note on the nightstand over where she was sleeping at.
"NARUTO!!" The pounding at the door had gotten furiously faster.
"I'll be there in a minute Baa-chan!!"
He heard a frustrated 'Hrmp!' before he grabbed the note reading what his troublesome little temptress wrote.
Sorry I couldn't be there when you woke up, I had to get some more preparations done for the ball. Anyways, see you later on tonight.
You'll know when you see me, I have a feeling it'll be the same way with you.
P.S. I heard about the fight between you and Baki-sensei so don't think your off the hook because of last night,
Love, your temptress Temari
_
Well shit, there that goes...he hadn't been planning for her to hear about that...
On the plus side she must have had fun writing that last part.
"Brat come on! She's not the only one irritated here!!" Yelled his perverted sensei. Dammit, he feels more like a third wheel now with those two.
"Alright!!! I'm coming!!" He put a clean long sleeved dark blue shirt on with the red uzumaki seal on the back (thank kami for cooling fuinjustu seals he made) with black shinobi pants and shoes perfecting his outfit.
Running out the door he saw the two people that looked like they stepped on legos.
"Come on! We're hungry!!" The two Sannin's practically dragged their grandson down to the eating area of the Hotel.
~Fifteen minutes later~
After getting settled in and ordering their food they went to a table designated for Tsunade and her guard to sit at.
Getting some light conversation in before Jiraya started his old perving ways.
"So where's Temari gaki? Did she already leave?" Jiraya smirked mischievously already knowing what happened since he had heard them and only confirmed his suspicions as he saw her leave from Naruto's room this morning.
Naruto ended up chocking in his water he was drinking at the nerve his sensei had.
Tsunade also seemed to be amused at his misfortunes, Jiraya was the last person you ever wanted to get caught by.
"Baa-chan!! You're not gonna say anything!!" Naruto whined at his grandmother.
"Hey, I'm not the one who got caught.."
"Old hag.." he grunted.
WHACK!!
"Respect your elders brat!!"
Tsunade had hit Naruto on his back which caused him to whimper out in pain.
"Naruto...?" This caused some worry for Tsunade who had never seen Naruto act like that when she hit him before.
"Shit...my back..." Tsunade quickly went besides Naruto lifting up the back of his shirt only to find the most shocking thing she had truly ever seen in her life.
"My damn..."
Now getting curious, Jiraya had to see what made Tsunade so shocked to the core. Leaning over he looked at Naruto's back but was left jaw slacked.
"Well shit."
"What's wrong!?" Him seeing his sensei like that knew it must have been serious.
"Just what exactly did you and Temari do last night Naruto?"
"What do you mean?" He was genuinely confused now.
"Gaki, Temari did a hell of a number on you back...I mean it's covered with red scratch marks that'd make any normal man run... I.. don't know whether to be proud of you or be very concerned..." He finished letting the anime tears comically run.
Tsunade just shook her head at her teammate/lovers antics. She put her glowing green hands over his scratches healing them in the process.
"Why didn't the kyuubi heal this?" Tsunade questioned since his furry little tenant would've usually taken care of this by now.
'Are those bite marks?' Kami, those two put an Inuzuka in heat to shame...
"Being a little shit.." he whispered.
"I can't help what you two do...you two lust after each other every time you are separated. Plus it keeps that time from coming sooner." Kurama was all the amused that his container just now felt all his 'love' injuries.
"Hokage-sama, your food." The waitress said presenting all of their food to the three.
Naruto had grilled fish and steamed rice which had became his favorite food in the mornings since Temari made it for him.
Tsunade ordered miso soup with water and three stacks of pancakes.
Jiraya's order is what had really took the cake, he had garlic pickled with Japanese basil and karaage-fried chicken. The next thing that he ordered was Tsunade's least favorite food of all which was liver sashimi.
"Out of all the things you could have ordered you just had to order that..." she said in a child like disgust at her least favorite food.
Jiraya just shrugged his shoulders,"It's pretty good to me.."
"Is there anything else I may get you all?" The waitress slightly bowed her head to the Hokage but her eyes were completely on Naruto.
"No, we're all good but thank you miss." Naruto said politely.
"It's my pleasure..." she said with a slight sultry edge in her voice but only when she walked away with an extra sway in her hips in when Naruto confirmed his suspicions.
"You gonna ta-OW!"
"Don't even finish that sentence Jiraya."
"What come on! You do see the women he had unintentionally romanced right?"
Naruto just shook his head, "For the record, Ero-sennin, I was being cordial with them. I only truly love one person."
Tsunade hummed, "No offense Naruto but your cordiality makes women want to spread their legs for you." Tsunade had to agree with Jiraya a little bit her grandson was a lady killer.
Naruto sighed resting his head on the palm his his hand. He felt a migraine coming on from hanging out with these two.
Finishing that thought out in his head he saw our favorite auburn haired mizukage and her guards. Of course he didn't know that but still the woman was certainly enticing to say the least or by Kurama's opinion.
"Kit, while I like your Suna mate and she is powerful in her own right I am attracted to that, if I wasn't trapped in here I'd bang that misty vixen so hard she wouldn't feel her face for a week." He said a little perversely. Who knew the great Kyuubi-sama was a big pervert.
'Kuramaaaaaa...' Naruto thought a bit irritably.
"You can't tell me if you weren't mated you couldn't take your eyes off of that."
Who could really blame him. Just on the way here she was pretty sure she had saw a couple of married men look away from their wives with heart eyes just to ogle her.
Said misty vixen saw the Hokage and guard smiling politely at them walking towards their table.
'The jugs on her..' he gritted his teeth as he felt a strong stomp on his foot.
"Hello Hokage-dono, it's a honor to finally meet you in person. I almost thought we wouldn't see each other until later tonight." Her voice was dripping like honey...if you got to close you would've been caught within her words.
"It's a pleasure to meet you also Mizukage-dono but you may just call me Tsunade since I have a feeling we'll being seeing a lot more of each other."
"Well then you shall call me Mei. I'm not the biggest fan of formalities as you can see." She looked at the rest of the occupants with the Hokage and the one blonde man that had caught her eye in particular.
"Jiraya-san, nice to meet you as well..but I don't believe I know you..Mr..." her eyes were on Naruto unconsciously licking her lips at the sight of him.
"Please just call me Naruto Mizukage-sama I don't deserve any tittles to my name just yet." He smiled brightly at Mei.
'The prime example of your 'cordial' attitude..' Tsunade was praying for any future headaches Temari might have with Naruto's growing fanclub of admirers.
'He's quite the charmer...I'll have to find out more about him. I have a feeling that it just doesn't stop at the handsome face.'
"Would you and your company like to sit with us Mei? We might as well get to know each other since we're here right?" Tsunade offered hopefully getting to know what the Mizukage's intentions are with her gaki.
Little did she know of the political shitstorm she'd be in because of this kind act.
~A few hours later~
~Tsunade and Jiraya's room~
"No!" Naruto growled.
"Stay still damnit!!"
All the while this was happening Jiraya was just laying on the bed as he watched his lover try and fail to put a tie on Naruto and do his hair.
They were all dressed up and had their masks out.
"For you to have such a badass name in the bingo books your really reluctant in letting me fix your hair and put the damn tie on! Don't you want to look your best for Temari!!" Honestly, how the hell is an S-rank shinobi this damn stubborn about dressing up!!!
"Hn!!" He pouted like a child crossing his arms.
Jiraya just sat there trying his hardest not to bust out laughing. "What the hell are you looking at!! You could be helping me instead of staring like an idiot!!" Why did she choose these two to be her guards again?
"Whoa! No need to blow a fuse hime!! Just think for a moment...what would really hurt the brat...what would get him to listen to you?"
The answer was so obvious she should be kicking herself at the easy solution to that.
'Of course!' She grinned evilly getting weary eyes from Naruto.
'Just what are you planning you crafty old bat..'
"Naruto since it's come to this I have no choice...I'll have to ban ramen from you for the next two months." Tsunade firmly stated causing Naruto to stare at her jaw slacked.
How can she just threaten the most precious thing in his life like that!! -er other than Temari of course..-
"Your bluffing.."
"Am I?"
Tsunade adopted a neutral expression not giving away any emotion whatsoever.
"You might want to back away from this battle Kit. I can tell from her aura She's really not joking." Kurama suggested lazily to his container not trying to wound his ego any more.
Shuffling over his way to Tsunade he sat right besides her lowering himself giving into Tsunade.
"Now was that so hard?" She grinned triumphantly at beating the stubborn boy at his own game.
Naruto just grunted childishly laying his head on Tsunade's lap as she put it up in a decent sexy looking man bun. His red streaks would sure get females attention though.
Tsunade put his tie one for him while Naruto grudgingly tightened his belt and looked at his reflection in the mirror. This would be his first realm social class event he'd be going to that could change the view point of Hi no kunai as a whole.
He was starting to hate getting all dressed up for parties like this.
This was just another one of those upper class social events where all people of an important class had to show up. The teen gave a soft growl as he reached for the golden kitsune mask resting on the top a bed.
"Let's get rollin! Shall we m'lady..." Jiraya smirked offering his elbow to Tsunade who just giggled back.
"We shall."
~Twenty minutes later~
~Ball time!!!~
The whole ballroom seemed to glittered people entered it. Many of Sunagakure's delegates had forgotten what a celebration was, as there had been little to rejoice about in the past few years.
But Gaara was not his father and the time of war had ended. So, to some delight, the fifth Kazekage had decreed that Sunagakure would be hosting a masquerade ball.
All week her esteemed little brother had been worrying about the event.
He may be a natural leader in office and on the battlefield but when it came to social situations he was a complete novice. As such, most of the finer details had been passed on to her: invitations, pattern swatches, napkins, food, and silverware.
At one point it had felt as though she were drowning in the planning of this event. But now Temari could fully appreciate her hard work.
The curtains all around the large room were gold to stay true to the theme. Flower spray arrangements filled with white roses adorned all of the tables.
The only light in the room was supplied by the chandeliers and candle arbores. The candlelight caught the curtains and the sway of gold dresses created the illusion of gold dust.
Now all she was really doing was waiting on the Hokage and guard to arrive, she was still chatting up with some people though. She was also pretty sure she had just seen the Mizukage walk in.
"You've truly outdone yourself Temari," her brother's familiar low intonation commended her.
He was dressed head to toe in black, a stark difference from his usual red robes.
Kankuro kept loosening the tie around his neck, not used to such tight fitting attire. Honestly, she herself wasn't too pleased with her own dress.
What she had originally picked out was now being worn by Matsuri.
It was simple, understated, form fitting down to the hip then flaring out in a sea of glitter. Temari smiled as she watched her brother stare at his former student.
'This will be definitely be most interesting...' If only poor Gaara could see his sister's sinister smile under her mask.
Being the sister of the kazekage, her original pick had been replaced by the ladies of the council for a slightly garish, in Temari's opinion, ball gown.
It was too heavy and strapless (showing off her cleavage which she didn't care for too much but in a werid way she kinda liked it) which didn't make her feel too secure. The entire top seemed to be encrusted with different yellow gems. She reflected light everywhere she went, which was actually fitting since her mask had a gold sun painted on it.
"You should go and talk to her ototo." Temari whispered as her brother's gaze still hadn't left Matsuri who was happily chatting with her teammates.
Her mask was covered with golden flowers, the same type as were in her hair.
"I don't know what you're talking about," he muttered.
"You invited her so keep her company." She lightly scolded him.
Temari smirked knowingly, her little brother was growing up!!
People began to make their way onto the dance floor and, before she had the chance to pester him some more, her little brother was already walking towards Matsuri.
It was nice to see her youngest brother finally reaching out towards others. Her own eyes began to search the room for someone.
~With Mei~
'Now where could he be...' Mei silently wondered as she sat at her table along with Chojuro and Ao.
Ever since sitting with the Hokage and her guard she had not been able to get a certain sweet blonde haired shinobi out of her mind. She had learned a bit about him while she was with them but couldn't ask too many questions.
So afterwards she had Ao look up information on the teen and was most surprised about what she found out.
He was Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, He is apparently considered to be a hero here in Suna (along with some others) for saving the Kazekage a while back and the kyuubi jinchuuriki. Some people also said that he is the son of the Yondaime Hokage minato namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki The Red Hot-Blooded Habanero.
'I will have to contact Tsunade-dono after this trip, I think I have finally found a man I have been searching for.' she thought as she licked her lips behind her mask hungrily still spacing out intently waiting on the teen.
Mei sighed a tad bit too happily. She was thankful Naruto from what it seemed didn't have a girlfriend, or it would have made the operation of her trying to get with him more difficult.
Meanwhile, Temari felt the certain urge to choke the daylights out of someone..for what she didn't know but she'll find out sooner or later.
~With Naruto~
By the time they had arrived at the suite Naruto was definitely excited with a hint of nervous had ever been in his life. The three person squad kept walking toward the door.
Jiraya did a whistle obviously impressed with the place. Tsunade thought all in all the place was beautiful.
Naruto was looking from side to side an saw other people coming in the ball like wood work and entering the elegant suite.
"Well I'll be damned.." it was even nicer on the inside.
When the group walked into the Grand Hall of the mansion, They were genuinely shocked at the amount of people and the vast amount looked amazing.
There were several people talking an even more people dancing people that looked like they came from wealthy families judging by the way their dresses were made.
"Naruto we'll be sitting at that table over there..in the meantime why don't you have some fun." Tsunade gave him a wink before heading off to the table along with a smirking Jiraya.
'I wonder if this is how mom and dad were in public..'
There was no doubt Kushina would have clung close to her man keeping him away from sleazy skanks.
"Champagne sir?" A person he guessed who worked for the ball asked.
"Sure, why not." He grabbed a glass from the. Tray the person was holding ( I refuse to say servant for some reason still unknown to me.)
As he kept walking looking for Temari he was caught by some women asking him for a dance though he politely declined they were very persistent during his search.
'Meh, most likely noble women and ones from clans..'
Then he came across a sight to see finding the person he needed but somehow kept himself hidden just to surprise her.
~With Temari~
~Same time~
Before Temari could even so much as take a step in her bedazzled shoes, she was confronted by an unfamiliar man.
"You're looking gorgeous tonight Temari-san..."
"How come everyone, including you, seems to know who I am?"
"Why, you practically outshine every woman here. You are the long lost jewel I have been looking for." Tch, is that the line you use for every woman you meet.
Despite being dressed in all black, he still managed to be showy. His coat had feathers hand stitched into it. And something about his air and manner of walking told her that he thought very highly of himself. She then saw something that she really dreaded and hoped to avoid if she ever came across it.
An emblem of those of the wind daimyo's family. If she had to take a guess it was probably one of his son's.
'Dammit! Where the hell was Naruto when you needed him!!' Looked like she was just going to have to tough this one out. The majority shinobi part of Sunagakure was still not too fond of the wind daimyo for forcing their hand into what they had done siding with Orochimaru.
The council had brought up the idea of marrying her off to the daimyo or one of his sons to make things more stable between the capital and the military part of the land of wind.
Luckily they were immediately shut down by her brothers and sensei saying she was a valuable military asset that they could not afford to loose her.
They weren't that desperate.
At least not yet.
He was about her same height and had brown slicked back brown hair. He would have benefitted from the heels she was wearing. From what he had been an extremely cocky person to talk to. Not in a good way either.
"Will you would do me the honour Temari-san?" he gestured towards the dance floor with his hand giving a charming smile (Tch, as if that actually worked..).
"Ah," she said lightly, biting her cheek to hold back a smile.
It wasn't this guy's fault. No one in Suna, with the exception of her brothers and sensei knew that she was involved with someone else.
She felt Naruto's presence somewhere near but unfortunately she couldn't turn the little 'prince' down now. She had already, while not meaning to, entertained him.
"You're pretty decent at dancing you've been able to keep up with me so far."
"I do not think it wrong to divulge in such an innocent diversion." His odd, formal way of speaking confirmed her suspicions.
"In fact," he continued, "several people," women he has managed swoon she assumed, "have complimented me on my," he bounced up on the balls of his feet, "lightness of foot."
Now she did laugh but quickly covered it up with a cough. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw him being pulled in by some females that had no business touching him like that. The possessive part of her was at work again.
The make eye contact for a brief moment until another female used her hands to bring Naruto's face down to her eye level.
She could only imagine how he felt.
A wicked smirk appeared on her lips. She wanted to see the possessive part of him even more.
"You know, I think I will dance with you."
She took his hand without even sparing the other a backwards glance. Thankfully the music was upbeat and in no way romantic or slow.
Despite this, her partner still managed to make the dance seem intimate by the way he stared at her.
"Usually I do not enjoy dancing," he said while attempting to twirl her, which ultimately failed as she had to bend down to get under his arm, "but it does give one the opportunity to admire one's partner."
This guy, he couldn't honestly think that he had a chance with her, could he?
"So," he continued, panting by their fast pace, "it is now I'll reveal my intentions, my primary goal, if I may be so bold, is to remain close to you throughout the evening Temari-hime."
Kami, she hated that nickname. She just wanted to get away from this Bastard as soon as possible now.
"My, that is a bold declaration..are you sure you will be able to keep that?" She hope he didn't.
"For you my darling, it'd be worth it." A look she hadn't seen before in his eyes had appeared. Lust. Pure raw adulterated lust and she was his target.
"I'm so sorry to interrupt," A deep, serious voice said. "But I was hoping I might get a dance from the charming lady in the golden mask."
"We are in the middle of something fool, I suggest you find your way away or I-"
"You'll what?"
The man in the black mask froze, pain evident on his face. The hand on his shoulder was obviously much stronger than it looked.
Naruto then let the man go uttering something under his breath.
"You have just played with fire.." He glared darkly at the kitsune masked man
"And I've been burned before, your little sparks will not hurt." Naruto watched at he walked away.
He turned back to his partner who gave him an unimpressed look.
"Oi, what's with that look?"
"Not like I needed your help..." He didn't know if she meant to do what she did but she ended up putting her hand in her hip with a cute little pout going on.
"What ever you say Tsundere-chan." He gave her a cheeky grin.
"I hate you." She bluntly stated.
"You fuck me." He made sure only Temari heard him.
"Shut up and dance with me baka. Or do I actually need to end up threatening you with sex."
He held his hands up defensively,"Okay, okay wouldn't want to stop being daddy's little girl. Now would you?"
If only he could see her face now, he knew just what to say to a girl...*Dripping sarcasm*
"You are really pushing it close tonight aren't you Uzumaki?" She narrowed her eyes.
"Nope. Just reminding you of how much I care.."
"Whatever."
"Anyways, may I have this dance, Temari-san?" He gave her a mock curtsy.
"Of course," she simpered in her best imitation of one of the many thoughtless, materialistic court ladies that decorated the hall where the masquerade was held. He laughed in response.
He knew better than anyone in this room she was not like that whatsoever.
"Well if you use that voice then I'm afraid this dance is over before we even begin it," Temari grinned.
Here was he was, her lover willing to play the games of words she loved. He led her out onto the floor, and began spinning her around the circle to the beat of a viennese waltz.
They bantered a bit, shooting jibes back and forth Temari finding herself enjoying the dance more then she expected.
She wasn't one who went dancing often, and had thought she would despise the dancing at the balls she would have to attend of having to do with Suna and what it would like for her brother. So far she had, but this was a welcome change.
As a lull came into their conversation, a question that had been bothering her came to mind.
"I imagine who ever put that in your hair you must have given them one hell of a hard time." She was referring to his man bun that Tsunade had put into his hair.
"The hag put it in my hair...she thought it would look good on me."
She stared at it with hidden astonishment. She really didn't think it looked bad on him at all. In a way it actually kinda suited him.
"I like it."
"Huh?" He twirled her and pulled her close looking at those beautiful teals.
"I said I like it. It looks good on you, what part of that don't you understand." She chastised him lightly.
"Hmmm, I'll keep that in mind." He rubbed his chin as if he was actually trying to make a recommendation she giggled but quickly covered it with a cough. She of course had to keep face in here.
"You know," he carried on as if they were alone; "This is our first dance together."
Temari hadn't failed to realize that. Naruto was quite good. Shinobi were supposed to be light on their feet but somehow she had envisioned him stumbling.
Being in connection to a kazekage all her life, it had been required of her to learn proper etiquette. She had hated all those meaningless dance lessons when she was younger but now it seemed they had actually paid off.
Temari looked past his shoulder to see her previous partner. His feathers looked more than a little ruffled, no pun intended.
She was well aware that the council would rather she be associated with some rich influential family from The land of wind. Regardless of the fact that the song was unfinished, right as she was about to take him by the hand and march off the floor another figure appeared.
"Excuse me, but may I have a dance with the gentleman in the kitsune mask?" A familiar auburn woman asked.
Temari gave a look to Naruto who slightly nodded his head.
"Be my guest, he knows where to find me afterwards." Temari gave him a wink and a look at the Mizukage Naruto didn't quite understand.
Walking away he noticed a slight step in the way Temari moved. Oh yeah, she's most definitely got him hooked line and sinker.
"Well that was...an interesting encounter." Naruto said a bit subtle.
"Yes, but... if I'm being completely honest with you I was hoping to find you before the night was over with Naruto-san. We'll both be departing tomorrow and it'll be awhile before we see each other again." Mei grabbed ahold of Naruto swaying to the beat of the music.
"That is correct, however we might as well enjoy this before we part ways Mizukage-s-"
"Ah, ahh, ahhh, what have I told you to call me Naruto.." She sang in a sing song voice as if she were scolding a child.
"R-right, arigato Mei-Chan." He chuckled sheepishly.
"Now that's better.." Damnit, she's a go getter.
"Any-who, let's finish this night out with a bang, if that's fine with you.." she purred running her fingers across his chest then going up to his cheeks.
All he could do was suck it up for now. He had seen Temari walk out to the back balcony and sit on the marble bench decorated with roses and lead to one of the other little water sources Suna had.
Inwardly he sighed, "As you wish, Mei-chan."
He brought her closer than necessary which excited her to no ends.
This was going to be a looong night.
