Thank you for all the reviews and likes, fallows and so on.

I'm not the greatest on answering questions and I'm sorry about that.

Like always I do not own Naruto or Black Lagoon. Just this crazy story and the weird gender bends I am having fun with. :P

On with the story

Chapter 13

Asuma was walking with several bags in his hands though the market place. He spotted Shikamaru and Choji standing outside of a book store. "Hey guys." Called the boys.

Both boys looked over to their sensei. "Hey Asuma-sensei." Said Shikamaru as Choji just waved as he was eating some chips. "Doing some shopping?" He asked as he studied the man before them.

Asuma sighed. "Yeah, Anko sent me out for more snacks for the poker game going on at Naruto's place and more snacks for the girls as well. But I don't have enough have hands for everything I need to get." He told both boys.

"So, sensei do you need some help?" Asked Choji as he smiled and put his bag of chips away.

"That would be great, I do need the help getting this all back to the others." Said Asuma.

"Troublesome." Said Shikamaru as he took several of the bags from his sensei. "Whose all over there playing?" He asked.

"Well Revy's friends, Gaara, his siblings and all the sensei's and the other Genin. Girls are having a slumber party with Sasuke-chan." Asuma told his two male students.

'This will give me a chance to talk to Gaara and see what he wants with Naruto.' Thought Shikamaru as he fallowed after his sensei.

Elsewhere

Naruto sat in a meadow overlooking a scroll that she was given by Kurama. 'Where did you hide this scroll, or should I ask where you got it?' Asked Naruto.

'Brat you know I just called one of the summonses for it. It's not like I have a library in here.' Growled Kurama.

'Okay you don't have to bite my head off.' Said Naruto as she fell back looking up to the sky. Several large fluffy clouds floating by. 'I wonder what Shika is doing right now?' She asked herself as she softly blushed.

"What are you doing Naru-chan?" Asked a female voice.

Naruto snapped out of her day dream as she leans her head back to see Itachi standing over her smiling.

"Nothing. Just reading and thinking." Said Naruto.

"You look like your thinking about a boy." Teased Itachi as she smirked as she slowly sat down next to Naruto.

She blushed even more as she slowly sat up. "Well yeah I am. I'm just worried he doesn't want to be with me any more for something I said." She told Itachi.

"So that Nara boy asked you out?" Asked Itachi.

"Yeah. He did during out one-month training break between the 2nd and 3rd matches. But, not that long ago. I made it sounds like I didn't care about him. For there is going to be 3 political marriages and I think I'm going to be in the middle of that." Said Naruto as she looks down at her hands. "I really messed this up by saying I would be the one to marry Gaara and it didn't matter to me either way."

Itachi pulled the girl into her arms for a hug. "Sweetie. When we get back to the village, I'll help you fix this mess you got yourself into."

She nodded her head and smiled softly as a single tear rolled down her cheek. "I hope so. I like Gaara but I'm not sure if I could truly love him. For when I think of someone I love. Shika comes to mind every time."

"You're not going to be forced into any of those foolish marriages if I have anything to say about it." Growled out Tsunade as she walked up behind the two girls are Shizune walked alongside her with Revy.

"So what Revy told me this morning about you putting your foot in your mouth about a political marriage wasn't a lie?" Asked Tsunade as she studied the girls face.

Nodding her head, she looked down. "I wasn't truly thinking at the time and just said what I learn from clan laws and village laws. But I don't want to hurt the one I love and care for." She said as the others sat down next to her.

"I know there are several loop holes also with you dating a clan heir. It will trump all other offers." Said Revy as she grinned.

"She is right. As the Uchiha Heiress if anyone tried to court me. I can refuse I as well already have someone." Said Itachi as she smiled.

Off in the shadows two people watched the group of women talk. Yellow snake eyes narrow in on Tsunade and Naruto. "That brat." He growled out.

The other person next to him narrowed her eyes as she saw Naruto and Revy. 'They are the ones to blame for my dear brother's death. I'll make them pay for this.' She thought to herself.

"Master are we going to attack?" Asked the woman to her Master.

He looked over at her and grinned. "In due time my pet. For now, isn't the best time to do it. As well we need to get Sasuke-kun for my next step of my plan." He told her.

"Yes, Master Orochimaru." Said the woman as she bows to him. "I will get the sound 5 on this as soon as possible." She told him.

"Good." Said the now named Orochimaru as he licked his lips as they vanished back into the ground as the snakes they are.

Tsunade, Revy, and Itachi felt the snake man and the other person that was with him. Revy had her hand on her cutlasses ready to fire at a moment's notice. But relaxed as they vanished from their sight. Tsunade nodded to the other two as they nodded back.

"Naruto. I was told you used one of my moves to break Orochimaru's barrier during the invasion." Said Tsunade as she smiled at the girl.

"Yeah, I just did what Kurama told me to do and gather chakra to my fist and slam it on the room. Other than that, I don't think I would have gotten to Jiji in time. As Ero-sannin was getting his ass handed to him as well." Said Naruto as she just laughed to herself.

"Well if you like I could teach you my super strength." Said Tsunade as she looked down at Naruto's scroll.

The scroll before the girl was several Jutsu's in them. One was called Fox shadow. If done right the person could slip into the shadows and shadow walk and trap people with the shadow world. But, to do it one need a large chakra pool to pull it off.

"That looked like something that the Nara clan would be able to do if they weren't so lazy and worked on growing their chakra levels." Said Tsunade.

"Yeah, I have the basic down to it, but it will take me a little more time to get it down. I just wish I had Shika here to help me with it. But I know I'll get it by the time we return." Said Naruto.

Back at Naruto's house

Shikamaru walked through the front door with his arms full of bags as her heard Ino scream.

"What the hell are you doing here Shikamaru?" Said Ino.

"Troublesome woman. I'm helping Asuma-sensei with all this junk food for you girls and the poker game." Said Shikamaru as he glared at Ino who just smiled at him as she heard the word "Food".

Walking past the group of girls the three men walked into the kitchen to find that the poker game was still going and growing by the passing moments. Now all of Hotel Moscow was playing and there was gun and jutsu scrolls in the pot and other things several people could have gone their whole lives never seeing.

Putting the bags on the counter and with Choji's and Kiba's help Shikamaru put all the food away and throw several bags of chips at the girls and place several cases of beer before the others as everyone got their drinks and stole the pop from the pot so they could drink.

Shikamaru scan the playing table as his eyes landed on Gaara. His black eyes studied the boy before him. 'This is the guy who wants my Naru. I will do everything in my power to keep him away from her.' He thought to himself.

Gaara saw the spiky hair boy watching him. 'What does he want?' He thought to himself.

'He smalls of that blonde girl that has my brother in her. I think he is her mate.' Laughed Shikaku as the crazed coon dog went back to sleep.

'Then I'll just kill him. For I want her to myself.' Said Gaara to his beast.

Said crazy coon just rolled his eyes at the boy. 'You kill him, she will kill you and me for she will not want anything to do with you if you killed her mate.'

Gaara just glared down at his cards. He wasn't going to be able to do as he please to get his way. This was going to be proving to be more troublesome then he had figured it would be. Maybe he was going to have to look at the girls those fools are trying to fix his brother and himself with.

Blah I figure I will leave off here. I couldn't think of anything else to carry this chapter with. I guess I have a brain fart or something.
