Chapter 10: Helping Hands
“So, why are we walking to the Hokage’s tower?” Anko asked as she noticed where Kakashi was walking. She had agreed to help him since she figured it would be a nice way of sticking it to Orochimaru if she could foul up any plans he was making for the Uchiha boy.
“I need Tsunade-sama to see if she can find Jiraiya,” Kakashi said to her. “I’m good but he’s a true seal master after all he taught the Fourth many of his sealing techniques and knowledge so having his help would be good.”
Anko nodded as that made sense to her, although once again she felt a small pang on why he wasn’t called in for her. Then again she did remember Tsunade had been looking in on her when they had found her lost and confused. It was one of the reasons that Anko was glad that Tsunade was the new Hokage as she had a huge respect for the woman. She had been a big help in Anko’s recovery and so Anko felt she owed the woman a lot.
“So what can you tell me about your seal?” Kakashi asked as they kept on walking. “Anything you can think of would be helpful.”
Anko sighed as she thought about anything she could think of. “Well it hurts like a bastard for me at times. Like when I was with Orochimaru in the forest I could barely move.”
“Did he start the seal or do you think it was reacting to his presence?”
Anko hadn’t thought which it was at the time she was more focused on just trying to kill the bastard. She thought about all that he took from her, the uncertainty of what had happened to her plagued her for years with all the missing holes in her memories. All the memories of when Orochimaru became her sensei were just gone and it hurt, it hurt a lot. Every day she wondered if there was a face in the crowd she had known or had she any good memories buried up inside her mind.
Every time she tried to think it would hurt her and then she only got angrier.
Anko thought about her fight with Orochimaru and all that pain and anger, all that hatred built up in her.
“Ugh!” Anko winced as the mark on her neck throbbed.
“What is it?” Kakashi asked her helping her to steady herself.
“Just a flash of pain, I get them now and then.” She told him pushing him away when she could stand. She hated being seen as weak among others.
Kakashi was silent a moment as he thought about something, “What was it you were feeling?”
“What was I feeling?”
Kakashi nodded, “Please describe your emotions at that moment.”
Anko didn’t know what he was getting at, “I felt anger, a lot of it. I was remembering how I was feeling in my fight with Orochimaru and then the pain started.”
“Just anger?”
“What do you want to hear?” Anko asked getting annoyed.
“Because you’re a bit angry now and seem fine so is there anything more than just anger?”
“Hatred, I was feeling hatred,” Anko told him.
Kakashi nodded as if something was fitting into place. “Tell me is Orochimaru the only thing that you truly hate?”
“Okay what the hell are you getting at?” Anko demanded. She wasn’t liking all the questions, sure she agreed to help but this was reminding her a bit too much like when she had been interrogated when she had been brought back to the village. She didn’t like that time she had spent there in the dark cells as they were trying to see if she was a traitor or not.
“I think the seal reacts to very dark emotions,” Kakashi started to tell her his theory. “Hatred seems to be a key in activating it. If you truly hate the man then the seal must have activated when it felt your hate growing. It sounds logical given what Sasuke’s motivation is with his brother.”
“Hatred for killing his clan and family,” Anko said softly as it started to make sense to her as well. Orochimaru was just the sort of twisted person to make a seal that feed on negative emotions. Sure she felt anger at times but the seal never activated and people say they ‘hate’ something, but was that true hatred? She wanted to kill Orochimaru, she wanted to make him pay and for him to suffer like she had. Her hand went to her neck feeling the spot where the seal was.
“It could be at least one of the keys to the seal,” Kakashi said breaking her out of her own thoughts. “There might be other emotions that will trigger it but that can be done for another time. However do you sometimes feel this pain at other moments?”
Anko nodded her head, “After certain bad dreams it hurts, not much but enough to be very annoying. Also I think it does react to Orochimaru’s presence. During the start of the fight I could feel it but I could ignore it, it wasn’t until later that it got too much for me.”
“So heightened emotional states do affect it, and I’m not surprised that Orochimaru would cause it as well as he did give it to you.” Kakashi told her.
“Great so what does this mean? I got to control my emotions, like that would happen,” Anko muttered to herself. She would be the first to admit that she was pretty much a free spirit. Sure ninja weren’t supposed to show emotions but that just wasn’t the type she was. In a serious mission she could control herself she had that much discipline, but total control wasn’t her. She cast a look to Kakashi who always seemed to have so much control and wondered how he was able to do it.
“Well we’ll just think a way around it then,” Kakashi turned to her and from how his eye was closed she could tell he was smiling at her. She nodded although she wasn’t sure how he would but she felt a bit better otherwise.
-Later that day-
It was late afternoon by the time Kakashi showed up, even though he had a valid excuse his genins (mainly Sakura and Naruto) hadn’t believed about helping a fellow ninja out. He didn’t go into details about what exactly he was doing as he wasn’t sure how Sasuke would react to him working on that seal of his again. The boy was becoming slightly worse it seemed and he was keeping a careful eye on him just in case. He had no idea what Sasuke was thinking or would do but the path the boy was walking down worried him.
Training went well for the most part, Sakura was coming along fine with her water manipulation in fact with her perfect chakra control she was getting the hang of it faster than Kakashi would have thought. All she lacked was the stamina and chakra supply. Sasuke was still slightly brooding but he seemed preoccupied with something lately but Kakashi couldn’t tell with what. Naruto and Temari were proving to be forming good team work, most likely due to the living arrangements and the extra training she was helping him with.
Since Kakashi was meeting up with Anko later on and hopefully Jiraiya he had to make it a shorter day than normal. Sasuke went off as usual, but Sakura asked Temari if she could help her train a bit more. Temari didn’t know much about the girl and figured since they were on the same team they might as well try to get to know each other more. So she told Naruto she would be home later.
As Sakura trained with Temari her respect for the older girl was growing, although Temari used a fan mostly in battle her hand to hand skills were better than Sakura’s. She was coming along with the water jutsu that Kakashi had been teaching her and she almost had it but she lacked enough chakra to do it more than a few times. But she was improving, she used to only be able to do it three times but lately she pushed it up to five.
Temari was another big help, the woman was helping her in taijutsu and Sakura could notice some improvements. She learned a lot of things that they never taught at the academy. One thing she learned was when you punch with a hook to keep your elbow up so if you miss with the fist you can get your elbow in next. You could also catch the brow of your opponent with that elbow you can bust open the skin making blood flow into the eye.
After awhile both of them were getting tired as Temari called for a break, Sakura was thankful as she felt like she was about to drop any second anyway. Both girls rested up against a tree just enjoying the time to relax.
“You’re getting better,” Temari commented to the other girl.
“Really? I still feel like I need to go a lot further.”
“Yeah you’re right,” Temari said as Sakura seemed to deflate at that. “But at the rate you’re training it will take less time. What were you doing all that time anyway before now? I mean if you trained like this since you started the academy then you should be stronger.”
“Oh, well...” Sakura bit her lip remembering how she had spent a lot of her free time trying to pursue Sasuke.
“Oh brother,” Temari sighed, “Don’t tell me you were one of those girls chasing after the Uchiha boy. So instead of training that could help you and your team survive you chased after a boy, real smart.”
“Well Sasuke is worth it!” Sakura defended herself.
“Worth getting killed over!” Temari snapped at her. “This isn’t a game, people will die on missions. I mean Naruto had to save your ass from my brother while your precious Uchiha couldn’t do jack. Tell me do you always need to be rescued in your missions or do anything?”
Sakura wanted to say she did a lot of things but she couldn’t think of anything. Hell she hadn’t even thought it was Naruto who had rescued her at first, in fact during the forest of death it had been Naruto that came out of nowhere to save them from Orochimaru. She had tried to take care of the boys when they were both taken out but she hadn’t done much.
Sure she had set up traps and had done everything she could have done, she had fought her hardest, she had bleed and got hurt bad to protect her team mates but she still had to be saved, this time by Lee. It was then that she realized she needed to be stronger to support her team instead of being a burden.
Temari saw the girl’s face, she knew that she was harsh but she was on this team now and the girl needed to face the facts. “Look at least you’re trying to improve.”
“I know you’re right and I am trying,” Sakura said weakly. “It just that I’m always watching their backs, even Naruto who was the dead last is stronger than me now.”
“Well he’s surprising so don’t feel too bad,” Temari gave a small smile thinking back. “First time I met him I didn’t think much of him at all. Just an idiot with a very loud mouth and who wore too much orange.”
Sakura giggled at that, “Yeah you really should try to get him to wear something else at times.”
Temari rolled her eyes, “Trust me I’ve been trying. Somehow I don’t think Naruto would be Naruto without some orange in his life.”
“And being a little dense and loud.” Sakura commented as Temari gave a small nod.
“He is surprising though,” Temari sighed as she looked to the sky. “He never gives up and he’s actually kind of sweat at times.”
“He cares a lot for his friends and those people that are previous to him,” Sakura nodded remembering all the things Naruto had done. She felt bad for being mean to him when they were at school together and now she was considering him to be a very good friend. When Ino and her had stopped being friends she had been very lonely and she felt bad for making Naruto feel the same. Maybe if she had known what she did now they could have at least been friends for each other.
‘Well I can fix that now at least,’ Sakura thought.
“So then, how are things going with you and Naruto?” Sakura asked the older girl.
Temari gave a small blush as she looked away, “We’re doing fine. He tried so hard on the dates it’s nice but I keep telling him to just be himself. But he is a nice guy but I don’t know much about him, was he always like this?”
Temari thought she might be able to get some more information about Naruto through Sakura. She knew little of his past and figured since she was a teammate she would know more.
Sakura wasn’t sure how to answer that at first. “Well, I’m not sure. We were never really friends before now.”
“How come, he seems like a decent guy,” Temari asked confused.
“Well...mainly it was just that a lot of the kids didn’t hang out with him. He used to pull all kinds of pranks and stuff and he would act out. I also heard a lot of parents telling their kids to stay away from him but I never knew why. I heard kids asking their parents that same question but I never heard a real answer.”
Temari got a small scowl on her face hearing that. ‘Okay what the hell is the deal with this. I’ve noticed people glaring my way at times but lately it’s also at him. At first I thought it was just because he was with me but I keep hearing stuff like this, there is something going on here and I want to figure out what’s going on.’
Whatever was going on, Temari wanted to figure out what was going on.
-With Naruto-
Naruto was on his way home with his mind on things, he had to change his route as he found himself walking to his old apartment complex and not for the first time. It would take some getting used to living in a new place it would seem. But still so far life was okay. The house was coming along and it was nice having someone with him all the time, and he felt that he and Temari were at least becoming nice friends. It was just nice waking up and having someone there, he hadn’t realized just how empty his old apartment was.
Sure he had things, but until now he never knew what it was like having someone living with him. Naruto knew loneliness as he had been alone for most of his life but looking back on his old life now made that time seem even darker than he thought. It was a depressing thought but he quickly brightened as he thought of how he would never had to go back to that kind of life.
His thoughts were suddenly ripped from him as he felt someone gripping his jumpsuit and pulled him to face them. He was surprised to see Ino was the one there.
“Ino? What the hell?”
“So how are things going?” Ino asked grinning.
“With what?”
Ino scowled a little at him, “What do you mean with what? With Temari of course!”
“Oh!” Naruto blushed a bit as he scratched the back of his head. “Things are going good, we’ve gone on a few dates so far and she seemed to enjoy herself.”
He didn’t want to mention the whole thing with Jiraiya and how she had chased him around for a bit after she caught him staring at her breasts. But in his defence how was he not to look, they were practically at eye level with him and she was wearing a two piece at the time.
“So how has my advice been working out?” Ino asked him. “Have you gotten her any gifts or done something really nice for her?”
“Well a few things but how many gifts do I do and what else should I do?” Naruto asked her. He was willing to get any advice from anyone, well maybe except for Jiraiya he was still pissed about him trying to make one of his smut books about him and Temari.
“Well there are a several things you can do for a woman,” Ino started to get into lecture mode with Naruto. “Don’t forget to compliment a woman at times, things like hair, looks are important. If she got a new dress then comment on it because it’s nice to know if a guy notices these things. Plus if she needs help you should help her before she has to ask that shows that you really do care.”
Naruto nodded his head as he tried to remember all of this.
“Another thing is how you look,” Ino told him.
Naruto frowned as she looked at him. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Well for one you need to get rid of that hideous jumpsuit,” Ino pointed at his beloved suit. “I mean all that bright orange, I’m amazed you haven’t gotten killed it just screams out ‘here I am come and kill me’ to the enemy.”
“But I like orange!” Naruto whined.
Ino sighed, “Well how about getting something with a little less? I mean it’s not exactly the kind of thing a ninja should wear.”
Naruto would have to think about it, he just loved orange plus the jump suit was neat. It had a lot of pocket space and it was easy to repair and clean, not to mention it was cheap too. It was very comfortable as well so he wore it all the time. But was it really that bad for a ninja? He thought about what others wore and not many wore bright colors all that much, in fact even Sasuke had taken to wearing a new black outfit that he had to admit was better than the older one.
“Well what would be better?” Naruto asked as he never did have any real fashion sense.
Ino grinned, “How much money you got on you?”
Naruto blinked a few times as he pulled out Gama-chan his frog wallet, with the new pay he was getting he had a bit more money these days. Plus there was that he had saved up over his life as well back at the home but he kept that for emergencies or if he really needed it.
Ino took a quick look and nodded, “Okay looks like you got enough for at least a couple of things.”
“A couple of things?”
Ino suddenly pulled him on his arm, “Yeah, come on I’m taking you shopping and helping you to pick out some decent clothing.”
Before he could even stop her she was dragging him through the streets of Konoha.
-Uzumaki home-
Temari got back feeling tried and her feet were killing her. She placed her battle fan against the wall by the front door and kicked off her footwear. She noticed that Naruto’s shoes were there as well and he must be home. She went straight the couch and fell onto it with a groan. After a bit she rolled onto her back and just felt like going into the onsen or at least in a hot bath but she couldn’t even move at this point.
“Hey Temari that you?” Called Naruto from another room, her later entered and saw her sprawled onto the couch. “Man you look like you and Sakura-chan must have went all out.”
“Thank,” Temari said dryly. “God I feel tired and my feet are killing me.”
Naruto thought back to some of the things Ino had talked about. “Uh...maybe I could help out?”
Temari looked at him for a moment, “how?”
“Well, uh...I could...” Naruto wasn’t sure the words just left his mouth without really thinking of what he could do. He had been hoping that she would know what he could do. He had to think of something and he tried to think of what he would want if his feet were hurting. “I could...give you a foot rub?”
Temari thought about it, she only got something like that from a spa but it had been a very long time since she had gone to one of those. It would sound very nice at this moment as well.
“Alright but don’t try anything perverted.” She warned him.
“I’m not Ero-sennin you know,” Naruto said as he got to her feet. He wasn’t sure what to do so he started out gently with just rubbing them. Then he trailed his finger over her arch and she jumped with a yelp.
“Don’t do that!”
“Oh, why is that?” Naruto asked her.
“Because it tickles,” Temari said.
“Oh it does, does it.” Naruto grinned at her and Temari’s eyes widened as she had seen that grin on his face during those pranks of theirs. Before she could pull her feet away he grabbed one and started to tickle her sensitive areas of her feet. Temari tried to kick him but she couldn’t get a decent shot in with her one free leg and then he suddenly managed to sit gently on her leg pinning it. Now he could concentrate on tickling her foot and soon Temari couldn’t fight back anymore.
She was laughing so hard she could barely say a word out.
“Give up?” Naruto asked as he paused.
“You little bastard,” she said which only got him to start again. “Okay I give! I give!”
Naruto chuckled as he released her feet and got a kick to his arm for it, “That wasn’t funny.”
“It was for me,” He grinned at her, “you should laugh more you know. You got a nice laugh.”
Temari was silent, no one had ever said that about her than again she hadn’t really laughed before she had met Naruto. He made her smile even if it was just something stupid he was doing or from him actually trying to make her feel better. Naruto told her to put her feet back but only after she made him promise not to tickle her feet again. It took Naruto a bit to see what would work and what didn’t as he listened to what Temari told her what was feeling nice or what hurt from too much pressure.
After about a few minutes Naruto figured out how to give her a good foot rub.
“Okay that feels so good now,” Temari sighed as she smiled as he rubbed her feet. “Too bad you can’t get my shoulders too.”
“Sure I can,” He said as he suddenly made a clone and told him to take over her feet. Temari had forgotten about that and although it was something no boy had done to her before she wasn’t sure if she was ready for him to be that close to her in this kind of situation. But she was starting to trust him and her feet were feeling much better, one of the drawbacks to using her battle fan was the strain it put on her neck and shoulders area.
“How come your skin is soft?” Naruto asked confused as he felt her skin on her neck. “I mean aren’t you from a desert?”
“Piece of advice if you want to be rice in Suna is that you invest in certain things. Water import is one but another are skin care products,” Temari explained to him. “You think anyone likes to feel course skin all the time? You’d be amazed at how much of that stuff people buy, given how much damage heat and sand can do to your skin.”
Naruto hadn’t thought about it, then again he had seen those large bottles of skin care products that she had in her room and in the main bathroom.
Eventually she decided to give him a chance and moved down a bit to give him room. Naruto was a little nervous at this point, no girl had even let him do anything like this before. But he gently placed his hands on her shoulders and started to experiment with what felt good for her. After a little trial and error he eventually found what seemed to work from Temari started to sigh at times.
Temari was surprised with herself that she let him do this but at the moment it felt too damn good to care.
‘Damn always with the surprises,’ Temari thought feeling much more relaxed now with one Naruto on her feet and the other by her shoulders and neck it felt very good. ‘Okay maybe there will be something else to look forward to in this marriage.’
Temari felt her eye lids getting heavy and soon she rested against Naruto as he continued to work on her.
After awhile, Naruto noticed that she had fallen asleep and he looked at her. Her face was more peaceful like this. She sighed as she seemed to snuggle against him a little and Naruto blushed as she did. His clone was giving him a scowl like he wished he had been in his place but didn’t say anything to wake her. Naruto looked down at her and he smiled, she really was pretty especially when she relaxed her face like this. All the tension was gone and it was like he was seeing a part of her that she kept hidden from the world.
He really shouldn’t enjoy this but he couldn’t help it, but eventually he figured he might as well put her in her room. He motioned for the clone to get closer and whispered something to him he nodded and ran off quietly upstairs as Naruto gently moved Temari into his arms. She was a bit bigger but Naruto was stronger than he looked, carrying her bridal style he gently walked up the stairs. Her gentle breathing was against his neck and he had to admit it felt nice he gulped as he felt himself getting all warm.
Her door was open when he got there as the clone had made sure it was and her bed covers were pulled back too. Naruto gently laid her in the bed and covered her up and for a moment he stood there smiling at her. He wasn’t sure why but he couldn’t look away from her like this. On instinct he gently ran a hand over her cheek and she moaned something in her sleep as he quickly pulled back in case she woke up and asked what he was doing. He saw his clone there and jerked his head to the door.
A couple of hours later Temari woke up feeling well rested, she wasn’t sure why at first as she looked around. She was confused as to why she was in her bed. The last thing she remembered was getting a very good massage by Naruto, she blushed remembering that she had no idea the blonde was so good.
‘Damn get a hold of yourself,’ Temari thoughts as she got out of bed. ‘Okay so he’s good with his hands no need to get like that, even though it did feel really nice.’
She sighed to herself as she wondering how long she had been out and how she got into bed. Temari smelled something cooking and followed it to the kitchen.
“Hey you’re up, I wasn’t sure if I should wake you or not,” Naruto smiled at her as he noticed her walking in.
“It’s alright by the way how did I get up to my room?”
“Oh that,” Naruto blushed a bit as he turned around to the stove. “Well you fell asleep against me and I thought you might be more comfortable in your bed so I carried you up there.”
“Oh, thanks.” Temari blushed a bit at how she had fallen asleep against him. At least she was sure he didn’t try anything with her. As she sat down she remembered her earlier talk with Sakura about him and decided she would try and get to know those that knew Naruto best. From their talks he talked a lot about a guy named Iruka who was teaching at the academy and some kid named Konohamaru. Maybe she could stop by there and see what she could dig up about Naruto.
