Last Chapter I was a little blah I couldn't figure out where to take it, so I ended it short for I was planning on a longer chapter but like they say. Shit happens.
I like to thank the people who took the time to read my stories and review. You're the ones that keep me coming back and trying to finish all these tales.
Thank you very much!

Like always I do not own Black Lagoon, nor do I own Naruto.

Chapter 14

"Screw this shit. We are going to have to take the fight to that bastard if Naruto is ever going to live a normal life." Growled out Revy as she was looking over all the documents that Itachi and Kisame have brought for Jiraiya.

"Those who are named in here are going to be a pain in the ass. Mostly the ones that are called the Zombie twins." Said Naruto as she was reading over Revy's shoulder.

Revy looked over her shoulder at Naruto and glared at the girl. "What the hell do you think I was talking about when I was complaining." She told Naruto who was smirking at her aunt.

Tsunade looked up from the documents and glared at the two as Jiraiya ran a hand down his face. He looked at Itachi as she was drinking some juice as Kisame and Zabuza had went to get the group something to eat. "This is going to be a long week. You brought me a lot of information that could take us to war with Ame if we do not move with caution." He said as he dropped his head onto the table.

"Yes. But if we can flip anyone that I have listed and the one that wants out. We should be able to take them down slowly. I'm not sure if that would do. For Pein has been seeking out all the holders of the tail beast as for I believe he is taking ordered from someone. As well there has been this strange man that been lurking in the shadows as he plays the fool." Said Itachi.

Revy looked up. "Who is he?" She asked.

"He calls himself Tobi." Said Itachi.

"Tobi. Strange, what does he look like?" Asked Revy as she was bored and wanted to talk about anything then just look at all this crap before her.

Itachi sat there for a few minutes thinking it over of what Tobi looked like. "Well he wears an orange spiral mask with a single eye whole. Along with that black cloak with red clouds and black spikey hair." She told them. "As well…." She trailed off.

All eyes looked at her. "What is it Itachi?" Asked Naruto as she looked worried at the woman before her.

Itachi took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "He was also the one that helped me kill my whole clan as well as brought me into the Akatsuki." She told them.

Kurama had awoken from his name when he heard the description of the one name Tobi. 'Kit let me talk to the others for a moment.' He told Naruto. She just nodded her head and allowed him to take over.

"The one that you call Tobi is that one that attacked the night Naruto was born. He was calling himself Madara Uchiha. He was the reason I attack. For that was the last thing I wanted to do. Now I know where that bastard is. It is now my mission to kill him and the others that fallow him." Growled out Kurama.

Everyone stopped and looked over at Naruto as they heard Kurama speak. "What the fuck?" Said Revy as she saw the girl's eyes turn Crimson and her whiskers had darkened.

"He stabbed Kushina in the belly. Just minutes after she had given birth and pulled me out as he had tried to kill Naruto with an explosive tag. But Minato was able to rip the blanket off her and get her to safety. When he had return, I was gone, and I saw Kushina trying to heal herself with whatever was left of my energy in her body. The next thing I remember is being wrapped up in her chains and my claw sticking out of her and Minato's body and a baby Naruto crying." Said Kurama as sorrow was seen in his crimson eyes as a single tear rolled down Naruto's cheeks.

Naruto blinked her eyes several times. "It takes one person to tip the scales and destroy so many lives."

The others just nodded to her words as she took another stack of papers and began to read over them. This one had more about Tobi in it and Kurama was wanting to blow something up. But kept himself at bay for he didn't want to hurt the girl.

"Naruto. Why don't you go work on that scroll Kurama gave you and leave this to us?" Said Jiraiya. He didn't want her there for something he had found.

Nodding her head. Naruto got up and went to the other room and laid down to read her scroll. 'Seems something is up. For I have never seen that old toad act that way before." He told Naruto.

"Yeah I think your right." Said Naruto as she went back to her scroll.

In the other room Jiraiya looked at everyone. He held a couple of photos in his hands that Itachi had given him. Throwing them down on the table before everyone he let out an audible sigh. "The one you call Pein looks like one of the war orphans I took in when the fighting was done in Ame." He told them as Tsunade took the photo as well and looked the young orange hair man over.

She glared back up at him. "You should have done what our teammate had suggested at the time and killed them. For it looks like your past is coming back to bite you in the ass Jiraiya." She growled out at him.

Revy also glared at Jiraiya. "What all did you train them in?" She questions him wanting some type of answers that might help in put together a battle plan.

"Well just the basics for Genin and hunting. Whatever else they have learned they found scrolls or teachers for. For I wasn't going to waste more time on giving them the training I did for my students back in the leaf." Said Jiraiya as he turned the last picture over of Pein.

Tsunade just bit her thumbnail as she looked over everything before her. With her taking the hat. She was going to have a lot to deal with. But also, she wouldn't be out on the run anymore and she did have some type of family back in the village and her pain in the ass student was back from playing in the other world.

"There isn't enough booze for me to deal with all this bullshit right now." Whined Revy as she slammed her face on the table. Wasn't the smartest thing she has done. But hell, she has done worst.

Itachi sighed as she wanted to help them more and wished she could have kept her cover longer. But, with the baby due anytime soon. It was best for her to get away and hide. For she held the future within her whom. As well she wanted to get back to her baby sister. She missed Sasuke very much and wanted to be a family once more.

Leaf Village

The Hokage had given all the rookies a week from mission and this led to them all just crashing at Naruto's house. The girls horrified the boys with their antics. That Gaara was wondering if it would be worth marring one of these girls or just staying single.

Sasuke sat in the living room next to Hinata and Ino. "This is weird being a girl. But it also feels right. For when I was a boy, I always felt like I was missing something, and everything felt wrong for me." She told the two girls as the others where napping.

Ino nodded her head. "Well think about it. You were forced into something that was out of your control and wasn't given a say for you had a power-hungry man as a father. He couldn't stand losing Clan head to his brother nor anyone else. So, with his failed first child he figures try again and pray you were born a male and when that fail as well, he did what he thought was right and placed that seal on you that was only meant for undercover missions." She said as Hinata nodded her head.

Sasuke just nodded her head to this. She looked up at the two girls next to her. "Thank you." She told them as they had both looked surprised for the girl to be thanking them for just listening to her and being friends.

"Sasuke-chan. You don't have to thank us. We are your friends and we are here for you. As are the others here. We want to get to know the true you the real you that was hidden for so long." Said Hinata as she smiled at the girl.

In the other room Shikamaru was staring down Gaara.

Gaara looked at the shadow ninja. "What?" Was all he asked.

Shikamaru narrowed his eyes. "You are not forcing my Naruto into marrying you." He told the crimson hair boy.

Gaara leveled him with a glare. "Who says she is yours?" He asked with annoyance in his tone.

"I had asked Naruto before all this happen to be my girlfriend and to go out with me. For she had been my friend for so long and knows be better then anyone else in this village. Hell, she even knows me better then I do myself. But I will let you know I will do everyone in my power to protect her from anyone. Even the Hokage and the Fire Lord." Said Shikamaru as Gaara looked at him shocked.

Unknown to them Kurama had several foxes watching over said two boys to make sure nothing happens to them. Both fox kits had gotten everything Shikamaru had said on video. Both fox kits grinned as the midnight black kit went up in a poof of smoke leaving the tan kit behind to keep an eye on their two charges.

"So, what Shikaku says is true. You do care for the girl." Said Gaara in his monotone voice.

"I do." Said Shikamaru.

"Why? Are you not scare of her? She is like me?" Asked Gaara.

"She may hold the 9 tails. But she isn't like you. She is far from it. She is kind and loving. She will put others before herself and never regret it. As long as she knows the other person is happy." Said Shikamaru.

"Even knowing this you still love her?" Asked Gaara still feeling a little shocked from this.

"I love her for her heart, her soul. The person she is and will become. I will see that all her dreams come true. I will see her become Hokage one day. I will do all I am able to support and make sure it happens. Even if I have to go to the end of the world for her." Said Shikamaru as a slight blush was on his cheeks. He had never said that out loud to anyone. Not even his best friend knew this. But this new coming does.

Gaara nodded his head. "Fine. I will not force Naruto into marrying me." He said as he looked away.

Both teens had been sitting in the kitchen just out of ear shot of the others.

In the dinning room all the sensei's smiled as they played poker. They had heard the two boys talking and Asuma and Anko where happy that the boy finally come out about his true feelings for Naruto. Even the tan kit was happy for he even got that on tape. But figured he would save it for later. For he couldn't leave his charge until his sister returned.

Hotel room

Naruto barrier her face into her pillow as she was feeling tired from reading the scroll. "I need out of this room or something else to do. I'm tired of just training." She whines to herself.

'Just be grateful I'm not out there and forcing you to train brat.' Growled Kurama from being woken from his nap once more.

'Yeah, yeah I got it. If you were here, I wouldn't be just laying here reading. I would be running laps or something.' Said Naruto as she rolled her eyes at him.

'I'd be working you to the ground unlike those monkey's in the other room.' He said with an evil grin.

Naruto just paled at the idea. For she had once tried on of his workout he told her to do. Needless to say. She was sore all over and had to drag herself to the hot springs to soak muscles she had no clue she even had. Since that day she was very careful of what type of workout she took form him.

Just then a poof of white smoke was seen right next to her as a midnight black kit was seen sitting there with a video camera in its paws.

"Naru-chan. I have something I think you should see." Said the kit.

Naruto smiled. "Hi midnight and what do you have there for me?" She asked as she took the camera from the now named kit.

Midnight just grinned. "Just watch."

So, Naruto does as she was told and watched the video. To her amazement Shikamaru had finally came out about his feelings for her. She couldn't believe it and he just wanted what was best for her and for her to be happy and mostly hopeful happy with him. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she finished the video.

"He does love me." Said Naruto as she let out a girlish squeal.

The others heard this and wonder what was going on as Itachi was smiling softly. She knew the sound and it.

Naruto jumped out of bed and ran over to the desk and took some paper and a pen and wrote a quick letter to Shikamaru. "Midnight please get this to him." She told the kit.

Midnight smiled and nodded her head as she vanished to return to her charge and deliver this message.

Naruto came out of the room looking for something to drink as all eyes looked at her.

"What was that all about?" Asked Jiraiya as he looked a little confused.

Naruto smiled at him. "Oh nothing, just a message one of the kits delivered to me." She told them as she walked over to the mini fridge and took out an apple juice and returned to her room.

Everyone just looked at the girl as if she had lost her mind.

Leaf Village

Midnight return with a letter held in her tail as she walked out of the shadows and over to Shikamaru.

Shikamaru open his lazy eye in question as he saw the small black kit.

Midnight grinned at him. "I have a letter for you from my mistress." She told him as she held the letter up with her tail for him to take.

Nodding his head Shikamaru took the letter and open it

Dear Shikamaru

I heard everything you said about me to Gaara.

I must tell you I was shocked at first. For I never thought you would ever open about your true feelings for me. To a point I thought maybe my love for you was just one sided. But after what the kit before you showed me. I truly know I was never wrong for only allowing my heart to love you.

Sorry if I am being mushy. But it is me and I can't help it. For you're the first person I have ever told that I truly loved. I've never even told Jiji that I love him. But he knows.

If you want to write back to me. Just call for Midnight and she'll step out of the shadows to send anything you want to me.

Love Naruto

Shikamaru looked like he was going to have a heart attack. Naruto had heard everything he had told Gaara. After a couple of seconds and Ino, Hinata, and Sasuke walking into the kitchen to see the shocked Nara. He pulled himself together.

"What's wrong with you?" Asked Ino as she walked up to her teammate.

Forgetting he had the letter in his head he looked up at her in a daze. A smile crossed his lips and shook his head. "Nothing." Was all he could get out.

But it was already too late for Ino had the letter in her hands and was reading it to the other girls. She was loud enough that the sensei's and others even heard it.

"OH MY GOD! ABOUT DAMN TIME SHIKA!" Squealed Ino as she was jumping around him.

"Troublesome blonde." Said Shikamaru after he came out of his daze as all the men in the house had gathered around him. Some patting him on the back as others gave him death threats. Boris being the ringleader of the death threats.

All the women in the house smiled at him and Anko being herself offered him some advice. "Just remember she isn't the girl you bed on the first day. You better wine and dine her and if you do anything to hurt her. My snakes will have fun playing with your corpse." She told him off hand.

Shikamaru just paled and nodded his head. "I would never treat Naruto bad. I respect and love her for who she is, and I would never change her for the world." He told him.

"Well said my son." Said Shikamaru's dad as the man had appeared behind him. "Dad when did you get here and how long have you been here?" He asked his father.

"Oh, I have been here for awhile and I heard it all." He said with a smirk. "Your mother will be happy with the news and son. Just let her have her way. For she will be planning your wedding before the week is over." He said with a laugh as he slapped Shikamaru on his back.

Shikamaru paled even more at hearing this. He hadn't even gone on his first date with Naruto and now his mother will be planning his wedding. This was too much for the genius as he fainted on spot. All around him laugher and worried people could be heard.

Sorry for the wait.

I figure while I heal, I try to get a chapter out. Sorry for the wait. Between being out of town for a month and surgery other things going on. I haven't really been in a writing mood. But after rereading the past chapters I felt the need to write and this weird chapter was born.
