Political Alliances
Chapter 17: Countdown to the big day
Sakura was with her team waiting for Kakashi to show up as usual, although there was something different going on. She had noticed that Naruto and Temari were off to the side talking. This wasn’t unusual but she did notice they seemed closer than before. Plus she noticed the additions to the end of their names they were using lately. She couldn’t help but smile at them and was happy for the two of them. When this first started she had been a little worried, Naruto looked so depressed. Now however things were different and it was good that both found some happiness in each other.
It was also nice to have another girl on the team, she couldn’t count the number of times she wished Ino or some other girl was around to talk to, there were just some things you couldn’t talk about with boys. Over the time she had been on her team, Sakura had formed a friendship with the older girl and a respect for her as well. She was an amazing ninja for her age and it only showed just how much farther she needed to go. She took her training a lot more seriously now and with Temari’s help had improved.
In the past week she and Temari started to hang out a bit and with the other girls. It was nice that Temari was starting to fit in with them all. Sakura was also excited at being the maid of honor for the wedding, she was all giddy and excited about it. She already had to plan out her dress and hair for it all and she was looking forward to it.
It was another thirty minutes before Kakashi finally showed up but something seemed off with him and it was Sakura that noticed it first.
“Kakashi-sensei, are you limping?” Sakura asked him as everyone took noticed of it now.
Kakashi sweat dropped at the question. He had hoped that no one would notice, he and Anko had spent a lot of time yesterday getting rid of apparently a lot of tension out of their systems. The last thing he needed was for them to try and find out why he had pulled that muscle. He never knew that Anko was so flexible but that one position had nearly killed them.
He knew that he had to quickly thing of an excuse, now believe it or not he could lie like the best of them when he needed to. It was just that he hadn’t really cared to cover up why he was late at times, it was more fun to make up blatant lies. Plus it made people think that he was a very bad lying so when he actually made good lies people would believe them.
“Well yesterday I was getting in some training and I think I went a bit overboard,” Kakashi told them with a straight face.
“Training?” Naruto asked him.
“Of course,” He said to the boy. “Even a jonin needs to keep training Naruto, or else we run the risk of our skills degrading. Where do you think I go after our team is done for the day?”
Naruto thought about that, “I guess that makes sense.”
Kakashi mentally sighed, he really didn’t want them to know the real reason he pulled that muscle. He was also glad that the bulk of his body was covered up. Anko had put a few scratches and love bites as well, then again she didn’t exactly leave his place unmarked as well. When she left she said something about finding something to wear around her neck for the next day.
Training went on as usual, Kakashi would have them do certain exercises and drill then comment and show how to improve them. They worked on team movements and how to coordinate attacks in battle, then were was the personal training session. He helped out with their fighting skills, showing what they were doing wrong and offering advice here and there. It was a light training day today since he couldn’t really move all that much. By the end of it he dismissed them all but he had to pull Sasuke aside for a moment.
“Sasuke I would like to talk to you for a moment,” Kakashi said to the last Uchiha in the village.
“Alright,” the young boy said as the two moved off to the side.
“I’ve been working on a new seal that should help to nullify the curse mark on your neck. The first seal I put on there was the best I could come up with, but I’m not a seals master. The new one I made with the help of two others I believe will ensure that it won’t interfere with you at all.” Kakashi told him.
He knew that the curse mark could hinder someone’s progress as a ninja if they weren’t with Orochimaru that is. Anko herself had to learn how to get where she was by stepping around the effects of her curse mark. He also wanted to make sure that Sasuke didn’t take the offer of power that the mark offered, because of the price for that power. The new seal would ensure that a person couldn’t really use the mark unless they actually wanted to, instead of just acting out during strong emotional times.
Sasuke however didn’t like this idea, he had been experimenting with the curse mark on his own and so far he was making some slow progress. He wasn’t sure what it did but it seemed to make his chakra more powerful and potent. He would need this power one day and he didn’t want to give it up.
“Thanks but I don’t need it,” Sasuke told him.
Kakashi blinked a few times, “Sasuke that curse mark can act up at any time.”
“But only if I want it, you said so yourself that the current seal that’s on it.”
“Well, yes I did say that,” Kakashi rubbed the back of his head. “But it still could act up in moments of great emotional strain.”
“I’m willing to take that risk,” Sasuke told him.
Kakashi got a bit more serious now, “Sasuke that mark is dangerous, are you willing to put your team in danger because of it?”
Sasuke knew he had to think of something fast to convince him to drop this. “Are you trying to force this seal on me, like how Orochimaru forced this mark on me?”
Kakashi paused for a moment at that, he wanted to come up with a counter argument but the boy was right. He couldn’t just force him to go through with it. The first seal had been voluntary but he wasn’t going to stoop to Orochimaru’s level. He had seen the kind of thing thinking did to others, even if it was for good but that was a slippery slope. He had hoped that he would have gone through with it.
But it would seem that the boy was determined against this for some strange reason, it was a bit suspicious to tell the truth. He might have to keep a closer watch on the boy though because of this.
“Fine then I won’t force this but it better not become an issue because I can still go to the Hokage about this and she can force this kind of action if it becomes a problem.”
“It won’t,” Sasuke said as he walked off.
Kakashi sighed all that work and the boy just brushes it off. If it wasn’t for what led to this new thing between him and Anko he would have said all that time and effort had been put to waste. Well at least he had that coming out of all of that work and that was something he found he was glad for.
-Suna-
Gaara was overlooking the new recruits for Suna; with their diminished manpower they needed more ninja than never. As one of the larger Ninja Villages they needed to keep their strength up or risk other countries invading and taking power. Although things had been different since the failed invasion some things still stayed the same. People were still afraid of him, although now it seemed a bit lesser than normal but still he knew it would take time for them to see he had changed.
But still as one of the more experienced ninja he was to help train the new recruits to pass their genin testing. With so many ninja lost they had to promote more students to genin faster to make up for the losses. As he watched the weapons training he couldn’t help but think of the new person they had to replace Temari. Matsuri a young girl who had just passed her genin exam was now on his team. He knew that the only reason she was on the team was that because no one else wanted to work with him. It seemed a bit odd how the girl didn’t show any fear towards him.
Thinking back on it, the first time they had met was when he was teaching a weapons class, the girl had been afraid to use any bladed weapons. Gaara was the only one to go up to her and explain how the weapons she chose were not for her, how someone thought that picking up a war hammer that was twice your weight was a good idea he couldn’t fathom. But then something had happened. A group in Suna that was opposed to his existence had tried to assassinate him; Gaara thought that with his father’s death those would have stopped.
Apparently it had been some group that his father left orders that if he had died, then they were to kill Gaara at any cost. One of them had seen him talking to Matsuri and had actually kidnapped her in an effort to lure him into a trap. The old Gaara wouldn’t have done a thing, but Matsuri was the first person to reach out to him without fear. At the time she had only been a student but as he spent time with her and training her he found that she became important. He didn’t have many friends and he considered her a friend.
The group had set up a sealing trap for him in the desert he had to admit that he hadn’t been prepared for it. It had been a simple trap that froze sand in its place by using several seals hidden in the sand. Apparently it had been made with him in mind. Without his sand he had found himself defenceless for the first time in his life. But Matsuri had managed to slip out of her bonds and started to fight with the rogue ninja. She managed to destroy one of the seals before being injured but it was enough to get his sand back.
That day only Gaara and Matsuri made it back to the village, and he was sure that no one would find the bodies of those men. The desert had a way of keeping things buried in its sands for all time. But soon after that she had passed her testing and had been assigned to his team. Gaara was unused to feeling happy, but he was happy to have her with them now. She was a bit shy but as his brother said ‘she makes things interesting’.
Although she did help to fill the void in their team, she didn’t fill the void of his sister. Gaara found that he missed Temari more than he thought he would. Ever since he started to care about others he found more new feelings would show up and apparently new types of pain. She wrote to them of course and they wrote back, well Kankuro wrote back he just said a few things for him to write down in the letters.
“So how are the newbies?” Kankuro asked as he walked up to his brother.
“Adequate.”
“Don’t hold back let me know how you really feel with that kind of praise.” The puppet user smirked. In the time Temari left he had started to get closer to his kid brother. Sure he could be downright scary as hell at times but he wasn’t that old murder anyone on sight like he used to be. He was downright friendly, well friendly was as good a term as he could use with Gaara.
Gaara fixed him with a stare and he backed off a bit knowing the warning look of his little brother.
“Well I got a letter from Temari today,” he said to him. “Things seem to be going well in fact I think she’s starting to like that kid.”
Gaara gave a slight movement of his head at that, although on the outside he didn’t seem to care on the inside he was smiling. He knew that Naruto was like himself and if he could find happiness than there was hope for him as well. Plus the fact that his older sister was beginning to be happy was also good.
“At any rate we were told the date of the wedding and when to show up,” his brother went on. “She also said to bring Baki-sensei along and if she wants the new girl can come as well.”
“She has a name,” Gaara told him.
“Yeah I know but she’s got a long way to go to get to Temari’s level. Can’t believe I’m admitting to this but our sister was pretty good. Now that she’s gone the team is a bit off.”
“Matsuri will fill the void, just give her time and I think she should come with us.”
Kankuro couldn’t help but smirk, if he didn’t know any better he swore his little brother was growing a little sweet on the girl. Then again she was the first and only girl not to flinch when Gaara looked at them. Hell the girl actually admired his little brother and by the way she blushed a few times maybe more than just admired. He had to stop himself from snickering, he had told Temari about this and his thoughts that there was something more going on. Temari was interested in this for the same reasons, plus she wanted to meet the girl.
That was why he brought up brining Matsuri along, if he invited her then Gaara might thing he was up to something, which he was of course. Now it seemed that Gaara would want her to come, so he could sit back and watch.
“Gaara-san, Kankuro-san!”
‘Ah speaking of said girl,’ Kankuro thought as he saw the young girl run up to them. She had on more traditional Suna gear since she made genin. Mostly light clothing and light chest armor, with gauntlets and shin protectors all in dark grey type of colors. Her short brown hair framed her face nicely and he thought that you could say she was cute. But she was a little to young and too shy for his tastes.
“Hey what’s up?” the puppet user asked.
“Baki-sensei said that we have a mission tomorrow in country of Fang, so we’re supposed to get the right supplies for it.” Matsuri said to them.
“Fang? Man I hope it’s not another recon mission against Beast, that’s getting old already.” Kankuro knew of the tensions between the two smaller nations. Sure it gave other ninja villages some nice income and their village did need the money, but they were also boring. Unless they came upon a team hired by the other country, it was the only thing to look forward to.
“Thank you for telling us,” Gaara said to her failing to notice the slight blush on her cheeks when he talked to her.
“I-It wasn’t a problem Gaara-san,” Matsuri stammered a little. She couldn’t help it, whenever she was in his presence she felt her stomach had butterflies in it. Ever since that day he first came up to her she had strange feelings and the only seemed to get worse as the more time she spent with him. She heard all the stories about him, but she couldn’t see him as a monster. In fact he looked lonely to her he always stood alone like he was apart from the world. It made her a little sad to think that and how he must feel at times.
Kankuro noticed how the girl was staring at Gaara and resisted giving off a small laugh. The girl had something for him that he was sure of then he thought of the perfect opportunity to test something out.
“So Gaara, don’t you have something to tell her as well?” Kankuro said.
Gaara looked at him before looking at the confused girl, “You’re invited to my sister’s wedding, you’ll be coming with us when we leave.”
“You want me to come with you to your sister’s wedding?” She asked shocked by it. Gaara just nodded and the girl wasn’t sure what to think at first, as this was very surprising to the young girl. She did feel touched that he would want her to go with them for such a big moment. She had never met Temari personally so she was looking forward to it.
“Oh no, I don’t have anything to wear for a wedding!” The young girl knew this was a big affair and looking like some low class civilian wouldn’t do at all.
“Don’t worry it’s still a bit off,” Kankuro told her. “We can help you out when we get back, we all need to get proper things to wear to this anyway.” Besides he knew that Temari would kill them if they showed up in just their regular ninja clothing for this. He knew that she secretly wanted a grand wedding since she was a kid (thanks to reading her dairy once), so they had better get some decent clothing for it.
He mentally grinned as he thought that when they did get back from their new mission, he would plan on disappearing and letting Gaara and Matsuri along when she was trying on a dress. Girls like a second opinion on these things and he was sure he could set this up. Besides it was just too much fun messing with the two of them, how she got all embarrassed and how Gaara looked confused because of it.
One of these days he might have to pull Gaara aside and explain why she blushed and stammered at times, but not any time soon. When he had run out of fun then he might do that, but for now he was going to sit back and enjoy the show. It was a shame Temari was missing all the fun.
-Konoha-
Time passed quickly for everyone the village was coming along nicely with the repairs but still awhile off completion. But now there was another matter that people were talking about. That was the upcoming wedding of Naruto and the former Suna-nin Temari. Already the wedding would be taken on the top of the Hokage Tower along with the reception. Mainly due to the fact it was so large, it also had good security but it was also because most of the good places to hold it were still under repairs. Still, Tsunade was actually starting to have some fun. Since Naruto and Temari were getting along very well she hoped that things would work out great for them. Plus there was something about weddings that she liked, maybe due to the fact she knew she was too old for one but still it would be nice to see Naruto happy for once.
Already the guest list had been made out, Suna would send their representatives and Temari’s team would be there. The heads of all the clans would show up with some guests, Naruto’s friends and teammates were also there as were the elders of the council.
All in all it was going to be a major event for the village, there hadn’t been a marriage of this nature in the village before even though the tradition did go back before the rise of the ninja villages.
But still there were a few more things that they needed to get done. She looked at the clock on the wall and Temari and Naruto should be arriving in her office soon. She gave them instructions to show up for today to make the final preparations. So she had a little time to relax for a bit, when she agreed to do this job she had an idea of what to expect. But the reality of it all was something more than what she thought. There was the mountain of paper work, then dealing with council members, planning out missions and there was this whole wedding thing. At first she had been worried this wouldn’t work out too well.
After all she knew that Naruto used to have that crush on another teammate but it would seem that things were going well enough, thankfully.
“I wonder if Hokages get to take vacations,” she muttered.
“Well I know a nice little spot with a hot springs if you’re interested.”
Tsunade’s peaceful moment was ruined by a certain white haired pervert that was currently sitting on her window. She glared at him hating it when he did that. “You would try to take me to one of her perverted spots to try and see me naked again. Didn’t you learn your lesson that last time you tried that?”
Jiraiya paled a bit remembering that day, he had been peeking through a hole and she had just rose out of the water. Her backside was just as good as the front. That is until he made a noise against the wall and she noticed the hole. The resulting punch that she threw went right through the hall and into his face. That had stunned him enough for her to march over and given him one of the worst beatings of his life.
But oddly enough he’d do it again if he could get enough distance between them one had only to just look at Tsunade to understand those reasons.
“Well I was just trying to be nice, you looked a little stressed.” He said trying to get the conversation off him.
“You try this job for awhile,” she muttered as she sighed.
“Why do you think I turned it down?” He grinned at her. “Besides that fact I’m busy with my spy network, I knew the kind of job this was and I also knew I wasn’t the right person for it.”
“I really should have thought it through,” she sighed as she rubbed her temples.
“You need to learn how to relax I would think a medic like yourself would know better than that.” He stated.
“Trying to find the time to relax is hard enough so when I do I keep thinking about work.”
“You need something to do to take your mind off your work, how do you think sensei got through years of this?”
“I’m not reading your perverted books or taking up peeping.” She told him flatly.
“Not suggesting that,” He said in a more serious tone. “You know I know a few things that I could try to help out.”
Tsunade shot him an angry glare, did the man not know when the stop? You’d think that putting him into a near coma once would have made her point. It just seemed that since the first day he hadn’t let up with flirting with her or other things of that nature.
“Now hear me out Hime,” He said holding his hands up in defence. “What if I promise no perverted touching on my part? I mean if I tried something I would be easy reach with your fist and I promise this will work out.”
Tsunade continued to glare at him as she thought about it, but honestly at this point she could use anything and it would be very easy to pummel him if he tried anything truly perverted.
“Fine but you try anything and I won’t heal you after it.”
“That’s fair now stand up and cross your arms over your chest...no really this is how it works.” He said seeing the look he got. She did it and he got behind her, he wrapped his arms around her and just before she could yell he leaned back and the sound of cracking were heard.
Tsunade moaned as she felt her entire spine loosen up as he gently placed her back on the ground. “Okay that feels a bit better.”
“Now the next part is for you to sit down,” he said.
She did so and felt his hands on her shoulders she was about to protests but the back thing worked. She tried not to enjoy it but it would seem that he was in fact very good at this. She could feel the stress in her shoulders and back easing up after a few minutes.
“Jeez, you weren’t kidding about the stress,” Jiraiya said as he found knots of stress all over her. “You really could use a vacation.”
“Liked to but too much to do,” she sighed.
“You really do need a hobby or something, maybe go and treat yourself now and then. Hell, go get a back massage since you could use it. But honestly you’ll put yourself into an early grave and you know no one wants that.”
Tsunade only groaned when he got rid of a bad knot that even she didn’t know she had. Maybe she should try and find some kind of stress relief. After all she wasn’t young anymore despite her looks she needed to take better care of herself. There was a sudden knock on the door and she quickly made him take her hands off her. She couldn’t let anyone see she had been enjoying that.
“Well I’ll leave you to it,” Jiraiya smiled. “I got a few things to take care of but if you really do need any more of that I’ll be willing to any time.”
“I’m sure you would,” she said in a neutral tone making sure he was gone out the window before she called in whoever was at the door.
She wasn’t surprised to see Naruto and Temari but she did smile at how they were holding hands as they entered.
-Later-
Temari was resting against one of the larger trees in the backyard of her home it had been a long day today. After training both she and Naruto were called up to the Hokage’s office to go over the final details of the wedding. They had to go over the vows which Temari insisted to be their own, go over what they needed to do and what was ready. Naruto tried his best but she took pity on him and let him run messages to various places for them. She knew that Naruto hated to sit still for long periods of time anyway, and this would put all that energy to good use.
By the end of it all, both of them were tired, Temari was more mentally tired than physical but both of them were glad to get to their home. They ate lunch outside today since it was such a nice day under the tree they were both under. Naruto had fallen asleep and his head was resting on her lap. She didn’t mind at all, in face her hand hadn’t stopped running through his golden hair. It amazed her by the intensity of the color of his hair, she was a blonde too but Naruto’s color was like the sun. She also found his hair soft, despite how it stuck out all over the place.
She even lightly traced the lines on his cheeks and she smiled when she saw him sigh and smile a bit in his sleep.
Temari had to admit that he looked very cute like this. It was strange how things had changed, the first day she met him she didn’t think much of him. Then she noticed him a bit when he defeated that Neji boy in a total upset victory. Fear was next when she saw how he fought her youngest brother and had been the first and only person in history to defeat Gaara. When she came back to this village she was scared that she was going to marry him but as she got to know him her feelings changed.
She wasn’t sure when she started to like him but she did, in fact she did care for him a lot more than she ever thought she would when all this started. As she ran her hands through his hair she could suddenly see herself doing this for years. Looking up at the home she could almost see her future here. There was Naruto although taller in her mind, both of them older of course with them watching two children playing. She wanted at least one boy and one girl in her life, if they ever had more, well they would talk about that later.
The ex-Suna nin found herself smiling at the thought of her future here for the first time. This was a nice place to raise children and they would have a better change for a decent childhood than either she or Naruto had. There would be no pressure to be the ‘perfect Kage’s kid’ like she had been. When Naruto did become Hokage (and she came to think he could actually do it one day) she wouldn’t force her children to behave like her father had forced her.
And knowing Naruto, he would ensure their children would be happy. He had struggled for happiness as a child and she knew that he wouldn’t be able to live with himself if he let his own kids feel that kind of sadness in life. In fact she had a very good feeling that Naruto would be a great father, he would love their children like they were the most precious things in the world. That would be a lot better than her own father had been as she thought about it. There were a lot of things they would do differently but she wasn’t ready for children just yet.
Maybe in a few years things would be different.
At the moment she just wanted to enjoy this moment, it was nice just resting like this. After they were married she was thinking of them sharing a room. It was only fair and there was a small part of her that liked the idea of him next to her. Of course there were other reasons as well, she was still a young woman and lately she had been thinking about the more adult things they could get up to. Lately he had been very good at the physical stuff with their relationship, she wasn’t sure how though. Maybe it was a natural talent as he did have the ability to suddenly get better at certain things or improve in leaps.
Well whatever the reason she wasn’t planning on stopping it, she was enjoying it too much. Although they never went too far, lately she had wanted to go a bit further but was unsure of herself. They were both technically young, but they were legal adults as soon as they became ninja. They went out on missions where they could be killed, tortured or a number of things. Hell she had already killed in her life while on missions and had seen Gaara kill countless times. If someone was old enough for that then sex shouldn’t really be an issue.
Maybe she was just nervous, after all Naruto was the only boy that she had opened her heart up to and she wanted that time to be perfect. She smiled down at him again sure he was a little rough around the edges, a bit of an idiot at times, loud, liked ramen and orange way too much. But he had the biggest heart in the world, he never gave up, he was never boring and she could trust him with anything. Maybe she was falling in love with the boy, with both the good and the bad that came with it.
Soon they would be married and he would all be hers and to be truthful she was starting to like the idea of him being just for her. She also knew that she would be for him as well.
Naruto finally stirred as he slowly woke up to see Temari smiling down at him. He felt really nice where he was, it was comfortable as he looked up at the pretty girl smiling down at him. He couldn’t help but smile back, and this was one of his true smiles, not the large goofy ones but a real one.
“Did I fall asleep?”
“Yeah don’t worry it’s been a long day,” Temari told him gently running her hands through his hair.
He gave a soft moan, “That feels nice Temari-chan…”
She was glad to hear it, after all it was nice for her as well. She heard his stomach growl and she nearly laughed at the embarrassed look on his face. “I guess that means it’s time to eat then.”
Of course her own stomach chose to do the same and Naruto could only grin up at her blushing face. “Guess that makes two of us huh?”
“S-shut up,” She said still blushing in embarrassment.
“Come on I’ll make it up to you after dinner,” he said.
She gave him a sidelong glance, “And how do you plan on doing that?”
Naruto only grinned at her and she felt her mouth twitch in a smile getting the feeling she would know exactly what he was planning on doing.
Next up Chapter 18: Last Day of Freedom
Before anyone says anything in a review, I know the thing with Gaara and Matsuri is different than canon but I wanted it different. And I know it was only summarized but I left it like that for a couple of reasons. The first being I didn’t want to move too far away from the core of the story. Second, I left it like that because I might make a spin-off short fic based on that event. I’m not sure about it yet but I felt it could be an interesting short story companion fic for this one day.
