I do not own Naruto, if I did, I'd be out of jokes right now
~~~~~
Naruto, Kakashi, and Jiraiya walked silently along the road. Naruto was still in shellshock from his master's explanation of the Edo Tensei kinjutsu. He felt angry and disgusted, but deep down; he wasn't surprised someone like Orochimaru would stoop so low as grave robbing in order to achieve his objectives.
'How do I even prepare myself for something like this?'
'You can't. Don't bother yourself with it.'
'And what would you know about loving anyone?'
The Kyuubi began to laugh, and slowly, but surely, the laughter faded into the back of Naruto's mind.
'I'll never understand what makes you tick, will I?'
'Not a chance in hell.'
Naruto could just feel the smugness rolling off of the fox's voice, he could imagine him flicking his tails back and forth as he mocked him. Naruto focused his attention outward as he stared at the birds in the sky; he wished he could be like them sometimes, a life with no obligations or restraints.
Naruto pondered the idea of fighting Orochimaru once more, but he took into consideration what the Kyuubi had said. The demon was right, it was no use thinking about it now, but still, it was a serious concern, but what could he do about it?
Jiraiya looked at his apprentice, deep in thought, his advice mirrored Naruto's own thoughts. "Naruto, there's no way to prepare yourself against Edo Tensei, It's not something anyone can prepare for, especially when someone important to you is brought back."
Naruto hung his head in dejection. "I can't help it Ero-Sannin."
Kakashi chimed in. "Maybe you should think about your girl problems, it'll take your mind off all this."
Naruto slapped his forehead. "Ahhhgh! That's right! I completely forgot! What do I do about that?"
Jiraiya smirked at Kakashi and whipped out his notepad. Kakashi's eye blazed with raw determination and focus, the Copy Cat looked at Naruto and drilled him on his game plan.
"Naruto, how do all of your relationships look right now?"
Naruto scratched his head. "Well, Anko-chan wants me to be her boyfriend and I'm interested, but I really like Mitsuki-chan too. Ino wanted to start fresh with me, I think she deserves a chance and I want to see where that goes. Sakura… looking back with what I know now, I still don't really know what she wants from me."
Kakashi pried even more. "You don't know?"
"There's something off about her, like she's sick or something. Don't tell me it's obvious, 'cause it's not. I don't know what she wants, and I don't think she does either 'ttebayo."
"Hm."
Jiraiya scribbled furiously in his notepad and triumphantly slammed it shut as he completed his thoughts. Naruto was about to hurl an insult at his current sensei, but the words were sucked out of his mouth as Konoha came into view.
Naruto dreaded his return more and more as the three ninja approached the gate. Our protagonist took a deep breath as he showed his ID card to Izumo and Kotetsu, and he stepped through the gates, a changed man, for the second time in a week.
Naruto had stuffed his rather ornate haori into his backpack and opted for some simple street clothes for the trek back to Konoha. He wore a long sleeved orange t-shirt and some navy ninja pants that were wrapped at the ankles.
Naruto had dressed down for this day specifically, but he was never very accustomed to stealth, the bright orange shirt was a dead giveaway of that. The blonde slowly but surely realized his error as the three ninja walked toward the Hokage's tower in the center of the village.
The eyes of the female population were once again undressing Naruto, he rolled his eyes and unintentionally flipped his hair. They squealed. Loudly.
Naruto pouted. "Can we get to Baa-chan's office a little faster? I don't really have the stomach for this sort of thing right now."
Kakashi flipped open his porn. "What's the hurry? It's not like getting there a few seconds earlier will change your situation. Roll with it, I thought improvisation was your thing."
Jiraiya nodded with lidded eyes. "He's right you know. Try thinking of this as your vacation until your next mission."
Naruto smirked and shrugged. "Eh. I guess you're right."
They walked into the Hokage's tower and headed up the stairs when they saw that the elevator was still under repair, Jiraiya punched Naruto on the head as he had flashbacks of being hit in the face with a mahogany desk.
Naruto chuckled to himself as they ascended the stairs, he wasn't looking ahead, so he became confused when Kakashi and Jiraiya stopped walking. Jiraiya began to smirk and Naruto turned forward.
There was a head of pink hair just under his chin. The Kyuubi began laughing maniacally, as Naruto looked down at his teammate.
"Hey, Sakura-chan!"
Kakashi discreetly motioned for Naruto to distract Sakura so that she wouldn't be able to listen in on their mission report.
Meanwhile, Sakura was trying not to cut and run as far away as possible. The past few days, she'd been burying herself in work related things in a rather vain attempt to keep her mind off of Naruto and the emotional troubles he was causing her. Sakura recalled her training and managed to calm herself down, after all, it was just Naruto.
That last thought was the biggest mistake Sakura made that day.
Kakashi eye-smiled. "You two can catch up, we'll go report in."
Sakura cleared her throat as she looked up at her teammate. "Naruto, what kind of mission did Hokage-sama send-"
Naruto cut her off by picking her up into a bear hug. "Nothing worth talking about! We never got to talk after you threw me out that day." When Naruto put her down, he narrowed his eyes and focused on her reaction to his statement.
Sakura shifted back and forth nervously as she stared at the ground. "Oh… sorry about that. I gotta go!" Sakura spun on her heels and walked in the opposite direction, she started to run up the stairs, but ran into Naruto, who somehow had moved between the time she turned around and the time she'd started running.
'I guess I can use this as a chance to figure her out.'
'Good luck with that. Heh, females.'
Naruto bent down and stared intently into her eyes, Sakura started to look the same color as her hair as the silence became longer and longer.
"Sakura-chan, you've been avoiding me ever since I got back. What's wrong?"
Sakura's eyes widened and she looked down for a few seconds, Naruto raised his eyebrow and stared at her until she looked back up at him, this time with a plastered on smile. Naruto could tell it was fake, but he wouldn't pry further, at least not this time anyway.
"Sorry Naruto, I'm just not used to you being around again, that's all."
Naruto grabbed her by the shoulders. "Sakura-chan, there's something I have to show you."
Naruto grabbed Sakura's hand and pulled her along, she unconsciously stared at his back as they went down the tower's stairwell and entered the lobby.
"What is it you want me to see Naruto?"
Naruto looked back at her and smiled. "It'd make more sense if I showed you."
Sakura, slightly reassured by Naruto's sincerity, ceased all resistance as he pulled her along. He squeezed Sakura's hand and she unconsciously squeezed back.
Naruto's nose twitched, as he wasn't used to that kind of response from Sakura.
'Heh, that's new.'
'Let's fuck her.'
'Shut up.'
The female staff in the lobby stared awestruck at Sakura, who Naruto had literally whisked away from a boring day on the job, like a knight in shining armor. Sakura eyed each and every one of her fellow employees as they stared at her with unabashed jealousy, she could read their whispering lips.
"Lucky bitch."
"Her?"
"What I wouldn't give to be in her shoes."
Naruto looked back at his teammate. "Why're you so quiet?"
Sakura was pale with raw confusion. "I… don't know." She took a long look at Naruto, he looked particularly stunning today, her eyes unintentionally glazed over, there was something different about him.
The longer Sakura looked at him, the more apparent it became… he looked better than he did before he left. It's like there was something in his eyes, his soul.
"Hey uh, Naruto-kun?"
Naruto turned slightly. "Kun?"
Sakura turned red. 'Shit! Did I say that out loud?'
Inner Sakura slammed her fist into her palm. 'Just roll with it stupid!'
Sakura took her own advice and recovered. "Sorry! Does it bother you?"
Naruto smiled. "Nah, I'm just not used to anyone using that tone with me." Naruto was lying of course, but he didn't want anyone to know he'd lost his innocence quite yet; there was still some investigating to do.
Sakura stared at her teammate with a small tint of pity. 'He must not be used to all the attention he's getting nowadays.'
Naruto looked at her as they were crossing the road. "So what were you gonna ask me before?"
"Oh… You just seem different, that's all. I can tell you've cut your hair, but there's more to it than just that."
'Give the pink female a hint.'
"I guess I'm a lot more… aware than I was a week ago."
"How so?"
"I had a conversation with a friend, she gave me some valuable insight!"
Sakura narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "Who?"
Naruto gave her a foxy grin. "Anko-sensei."
"Oh, that's nice." Sakura's outward reply was rather calm and collected. Inwardly, an entirely different conversation was going on.
Inner Sakura was livid of course. 'SHANARROOOO! That BITCH probably fucked him! SHE'S GOIN' DOWN!'
Sakura was almost on the verge of tears. 'What if she turned him into a womanizer? What if he only sees me as a piece of meat?'
Inner Sakura licked her lips. 'He can womanize me all he wants! Look at his arms, they look strong, don't they? I bet he can pin us against a wall and-'
Sakura turned the same color as her hair again. 'No! Nonono! Conversation over!'
Sakura smiled, but was about ready to punch Naruto, he just had to give the wrong answer to her question. "So, what'd she teach you?"
Naruto paused and pieced together and answer vague enough to hide his "tutoring session" with Anko, but detailed enough to sate Sakura's curiosity. "She showed me that I'm actually worth something to other people, that I have people who truly care about me."
Sakura was stunned; she wondered how she neglected to paint out how much she and the others cared about Naruto. When Naruto left, the rest of the Rookie 9 would sit around a campfire and tell stories about the crazy missions they'd gone on with Naruto, and in the 2 ½ years he'd been gone, they'd never run out of stories. Sakura smiled, and for the first time, she gave him a genuine hug.
Naruto just stood there and stared at the top of her head as she hugged him. People began to stare at the two ninja as the hug went on. Sakura was rather well dressed for a normal day at work. This was a precaution she had taken since the day Naruto had gotten back. Being unkempt in his presence made her nervous and flighty, so looking at least half decent would ease her mind somewhat. They looked like they were on a date.
Naruto wriggled out of the hug and stared at Sakura worriedly.
"Are you sure your alr-… hey, you're a lot more dressed up than usual."
Sakura posed. "I went shopping a couple of days ago. Don't I appear more womanly to you?"
She spun and Naruto took a look at her, his eyes then zeroed in on Sakura's second most distinctive feature, after her hair of course. "Yeah… when did your butt get so big?"
Sakura scowled at Naruto and cracked her knuckles.
Naruto put his hands up and smiled nervously. "Relax! It was a compliment! Big butts are a good thing! ...But to more appropriately answer your question, you've matured a lot since those days… you dress better too!"
Naruto took a long look at her choice of attire for the day.
She was wearing a red tube top that showed her midriff, and a pink miniskirt with…very tight black shorts underneath. There was also a red choker around her neck with a green gem in the center; it was the same color as her eyes. This is what caught Naruto's attention.
"When'd you get that?" Naruto gestured toward Sakura's neck and she smiled a bit.
"You got it for my birthday, you don't remember?"
Naruto chuckled as he scratched the back of his head. "Heh! Guess not, but apparently you like it so I must've gotten it right!"
Sakura pouted, but stopped when she once again noticed the attention Naruto was drawing to them as they walked down the street. This time, it was different than what she picked up on in the Hokage's tower.
Sakura was rather confused though, the younger ones, girls specifically were glaring at her, no different from earlier, but the older people she saw looked as if Naruto was a ghost or something.
"He looks just like the…"
"Well ain't that some shit! He's a carbon copy."
Sakura looked back and forth between Naruto and the crowd, her teammate seemed to ignore the attention he drew.
Sakura tugged on Naruto's sleeve. "What's wrong with them?"
Naruto adjusted his sword shrugged. "Just comes with the territory I guess."
Sakura frowned. "What territory?"
Naruto pinched her cheeks; Sakura swung at him, but he somehow ducked through it and touched his forehead to hers. Sakura took a sharp breath and reflexively grabbed his chest, it was hard like steel, she looked at it and then at his eyes, much like the day at the ramen stand.
Naruto positioned her mouth into a smile and gave her his trademark grin. "Don't make that face, you'll wrinkle that beautiful forehead of yours."
Sakura giggled like a little girl, but when she recognized what had just happened, she slapped her hands over her mouth and tried to play it off like she was still mad at him. She glared at Naruto as she started to become impatient with this mystery destination. "Naruto… Where are we going?"
Naruto didn't say anything; he motioned for her to follow him and jumped to the nearest roof. They took off in a gust of wind; Sakura was becoming more and more confused as they moved into the ritzy side of Konoha.
"Are we… on a date or something?" Sakura sounded almost excited to Naruto.
Naruto looked back at her and smiled. "No, but we can do that later after I show you why I've been so busy."
Sakura gushed as she looked at the upscale restaurants and stores. There were stars in her eyes as her eyes darted around the streets below. "My family's never had enough money to afford anything on this side of town. It's been a dream of mine to buy my mother a pearl necklace from one of those stores."
Naruto gave Sakura a thumbs-up. "That can be arranged at some point."
Sakura smiled at Naruto and for a second, she could swear that she wanted to kiss him. Sakura was about to disregard her thoughts but they became further complicated when Naruto took off into the air. Sakura followed suit and she was awestruck when she realized where she and Naruto were landing.
It was Konoha Park, Naruto offered his hand, Sakura anxiously took it as they walked down a path full of the blooming trees she was named after. Sakura stared at the trees, and then at Naruto, his back was to her, but the way that the sun hit him made him look familiar, but she couldn't figure out who he reminded her of. They finally reached a gate with a red swirl on it; there was a beautiful looking mansion on the other side of it at the end of a long stone pathway.
"For future reference, I live here. You probably had a few problems getting in touch with me yeah?"
Naruto touched the gate, and it slid open. The beauty of the grounds, and the sheer vividness of the flowers and trees threw Sakura for a loop.
"Naruto, this house belonged to the 4th Hokage and his wife, how'd you get it?"
Naruto turned around and placed his fists on his hips. "Funny story. Come on, you gotta meet everyone!"
"Everyone?"
As Naruto and Sakura entered the house, the staff dropped what they were doing and bowed to Naruto and Sakura.
They all greeted the pair in unison. "Welcome home Uzumaki-sama!"
Naruto smiled and waved. "Hey guys! This is Sakura Haruno, if she ever stops by and I'm not here, make her feel at home!"
The staff nodded and returned to their duties. Sakura caught movement in her peripheral vision. She turned and saw an intimidatingly beautiful girl with wavy black hair and neon green eyes.
"Hey Mitsuki-chan!" Naruto picked her up in a bear hug as Sakura stood there, eyeing this new girl suspiciously.
This 'Mitsuki' girl sighed and laughed to herself as Naruto put her down. Sakura crossed her arms and asked, rather standoffishly, "Who are you?"
Mitsuki smirked and looked at Naruto, and then back to Sakura, she gave Sakura a catty smile and cooed in a sultry voice. "I'm his escort. Uzumaki-sama is rather rough with me, but he's worth the bumps and bruises." Mitsuki grabbed one of Naruto's hands and licked her lips. "In fact, I'd be open to getting some new bruises tonight, as long as your girlfriend doesn't mind."
Mitsuki looked at Naruto with half-lidded eyes and continued teasing Sakura. "Or perhaps your lady friend would like to join us?"
Sakura turned pink as she huffed and glared at Naruto. She took a wide swing at her teammate, but he absentmindedly ducked under it as he was trying to figure out what Mitsuki meant by all that.
"NARUTOOOOO! Oh whatever! I don't care what you do in your bed with people you barely know!"
'She smells angry. Angry sex?'
'Hold on you horny bastard! What's so bad about being an escort? Isn't it like being a bodyguard or am I mistaken?'
Sakura started stomping toward the door, but Mitsuki called her name to get her attention, she laughed as she gestured for Sakura to calm down. "I was joking, I'm his personal attendant, bodyguard, and his staff director for the household, escorting isn't in my contract."
The Kyuubi licked his chops. 'Not yet at least, she's next on my list.'
'Don't you ever shut up?! I'm still trying to figure out what this escort joke means.'
'Why don't you ask the pink female to demonstrate?'
Naruto mentally rolled his eyes as he inquired to his bodyguard. "Ne, Mitsuki-chan? Why's everyone get mad when you say that?"
Sakura had managed to curb her anger once she realized that Naruto wasn't in on the joke, and that he didn't even know what an escort was.
Sakura decided to explain it to her dense teammate and without any context, blurted out the answer. "Sex Naruto."
Naruto's heart sped up as he stared at the love of his life incredulously. "R-right now?"
Sakura turned crimson like her tank top as she gasped and covered her mouth. "N-no! I meant -oh god- I meant..." Sakura was completely flustered as she blurted out the rest of her sentece. "it's what escorts do for their employers from time to time!" She then started to make strange squeaking noises due to the maelstrom of mixed emotions she was experiencing at the moment.
'SHANARROOOOO! STOP PASSING UP GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES!'
Naruto looked dejected after the reveal, he was rather looking forward to his next sexual encounter, especially if it would be with Sakura. "Oh… Okay."
Mitsuki walked over to Sakura and bowed. "Sakura-san, shall I ring for a butler? ... Are you at all hungry?"
Sakura ignored her and just stared at Naruto as he pouted in a corner after having his hopes dashed.
Mitsuki looked back and forth between Naruto and Sakura and smirked. "I'll take that as a no then, have fun you two!"
Sakura walked over to Naruto and touched him on the shoulder. "You never told me how you got this house."
Naruto stood up and stuffed his hands in his pockets, he smiled at Sakura in anticipation, as if he would enjoy seeing her reaction.
"I live here now because I inherited this house."
Sakura's eyes nearly popped out of the sockets. "What? You're the..."
"My parents owned this house, and now it's mine."
Sakura fainted… again.
