'So… when are we going to plant our seed in the pink female?'
'Who's we?'
Naruto severed the mental connection as to avoid hearing a snide remark from his annoyingly sassy tenant, he really didn't want to deal with the fox, seeing as he had spent the past few hours at Sakura's house trying to figure out how he would deal with an undead Haku. After shuffling around aimlessly, Naruto had gone to raid the fridge, but was once again disappointed.
Naruto looked at the passed out girl on the couch in bewilderment. "Man, I keep forgetting you don't have any food in your house." He opted to go for the fruit, since it was at least tolerable.
When Sakura came to, she was once again on the couch in her house, and several hours had passed. It was now dark outside, and much like the first time, Naruto was rummaging through her fridge complaining to himself about the inordinate number of healthy foods she kept around.
Sakura sat up on the couch and stared at the blonde enigma before her, the cogs in her mind turned furiously.
'… As long as I've known Naruto, I've known so little about him, and he probably considers me one of his best friends. I know his hopes, but not his fears, I don't even know his 'real' name anymore, or his story for that matter. Yet, he's been right there with me when I needed him most, and now, I have even less of an idea of who he is.'
"Hey, Naruto-kun?"
Naruto turned to her with a mouthful of grapes. "Hm?"
"You're… changing faster than I can get to know you. We never really got the chance to catch up did we? How does right now sound?"
Naruto gulped down the fruit and smiled. "Sure. Well… I've been pretty busy training these past few y-"
Sakura put her finger over his mouth and smiled. "No, I want you to start from the beginning, the very beginning."
They talked for several hours, and Naruto learned how his teammate had spent the last 2 ½ years. He probably would have ended up sleeping over had he not remembered he needed to collect his paycheck from Konoha City Hall since it would be closing soon.
After Naruto left, Sakura had elected to take a shower and relax for the rest of the night. After she got out of the shower, she curled up on her couch and started to watch TV. Sakura shifted slightly and something sharp poked her on the rear-end. Sakura hopped of the couch and began searching for the culprit, it was Naruto's necklace. Somehow, it had fallen between the couch cushions. Sakura knew how important to him it was, so she looked at the clock. It was only 8:00, so she dried her hair and put on a cropped jacket.
'Maybe I can get him to stay over for the night.'
"Gah! Where'd that come from?" Inner-Sakura rolled her eyes at her counterpart as she started queuing up possible locations Naruto could be in.
For Ino, it had been once again a slow afternoon. She'd been running the flower shop for God knows how long until her mother finally stepped in to for the rest of the night. With a much-needed reprieve from flowers and fluorescent lighting, Ino took a stroll through the streets of Konoha.
It was a day like any other, Ino receiving wolf whistles and howls from all directions, but none of that mattered now, seeing as she'd found a new pursuit worthy of her time. She'd heard through the grapevine that Naruto was back from his mission. Ino took it upon herself to seek out the young man, but with nothing to go on, she'd need a different kind of help, and it just happened to be her lucky day.
Not twenty feet in front of her was Hanabi Hyuuga, who was staring holes in an extremely worried merchant. The look on her face belied mild frustration and eagerness.
"Will you not you give them to me? I believe I have sufficient currency to purchase them."
The merchant tried to reason with her. "Listen kid, I just don't feel right sellin' these to you. How old are you anyway?"
"I am 9 years old. However, my age is irrelevant in this matter."
Ino surveyed the situation for a few seconds as she tried to calculate how she could spin this to her advantage, but without enough information to go on, she decided to gamble on Hinata's little sister.
Ino slyly interrupted the dispute. "Actually sir, they're for me. I needed the little one's help with some errands today. Sorry to inconvenience you."
Hanabi took whatever she was buying from the merchant and Ino ushered the young girl away from the stand. When they were a good distance from the stand, Hanabi started to to stuff the mystery items into her black and purple backpack, but Ino stopped her and deftly took the boxes out of Hanabi's hands.
"At least let me see what I bailed you out for."
Hanabi sighed. "Fair enough Yamanaka-san."
"Call me Ino." She took the boxes out of the black sack and froze. "You're Hinata's little sister right?"
"That is correct."
"Please tell me you bought this stuff for her."
"No, they are... not for her."
Ino shuddered. "… What the hell do you need with… lube, aphrodisiacs, and… vibrating… ribbed condoms? Better yet, WHO ARE YOU USING THEM WITH SO I CAN KICK HIS ASS!"
Hanabi hopped into the air and snatched the boxes out of Ino's hands. The preteen put them into her backpack and decided to answer her benefactor.
"These items are for the enjoyment of Naruto Uzumaki and myself."
Ino's skin turned bright red and steam started to billow out of her mouth as she seethed at the thought of Naruto corrupting someone so young. "Oh hell no."
Jiraiya had left his overcoat in Tsunade's office several hours earlier, so he was on his way back to go grab it, little did he know, that this trip would be quite a bit more than he bargained for.
When he walked into Tsunade's office, the first thing he noticed, was the fact that she'd had a new desk brought in, and unlike the others, this one was bolted to the floor, likely Shizune's idea. The next thing, or in this case things Jiraiya looked at were of course, Tsunade's breasts.
Now, if it weren't for the low cut kimono she wore, he'd have noticed the raw anger on her face, and her visible drunkenness.
"JIRAIYA!"
The sudden yelling snapped him from his leering.
"Tsunade-hime?"
She drunkenly slurred her words, but the decades of dealing with his alchoholic teammate/ex-girlfriend (sort of)/only real friend allowed him to hear her as if she were sober. "What day is it?"
"Eh. Tuesday?"
Her eye twitched as the rosy tint in her cheeks made Jiraiya worry about her drunken tendency to become violent at the drop of a hat.
"No, Jiraiya… I made sure to remind you after we debriefed, but I guess you were too busy staring at my tits to hear me." She was barely intelligible, but due to his years of experience with a drunken Tsunade, Jiraiya subconsciously translated every word as he began to fear for his life.
"See I came to meet you, for our uh… shit." Jiraiya counted the dates on his fingers. "First actual date..."
"Two hours late? You came back for your overcoat, asshole. I bet you spent the day peeping at all those other girls." She took another drag from her bottle of sake.
Jiraiya took the time to notice that she'd made his favorite dinner and had set up several candles around the room. He scratched the back of his head and frowned.
"I guess I forgot... I'm not used to you saying 'yes' to this sort of stuff whenever I ask."
Jiraiya face-palmed at his own inattentiveness and sat down across from Tsunade, instead of hitting him like usual, she calmly poured him a cup of sake.
"... Ya didn't poison this did ya?"
She scowled at him as she dug into the Karaage Chicken she'd made.
"… Sorry, Tsunade-hime... I'm gonna need a sip of that before we start discussing... whatever this is..."
At the same time, someone, somewhere else was scowling. Naruto was at city hall, collecting his paycheck for the mission… if one could even call it a paycheck.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!"
"Sorry Mr. Uzumaki, direct orders from the Hokage."
"HOW DOES THIS EVEN WORK?! IT'S A NEGATIVE PAYCHECK!"
The mission was originally paying for 150,000 Ryou, but amidst the black ink on the paycheck, there were red marks everywhere, and a note from Tsunade on it.
'You owe me an elevator, two mahogany desks, and two sets of office doors. I deducted it from your paycheck, but you're still short 2,000 Ryou, so you still owe me. Have a nice day Naruto-kun. ~Obaa-chan'
There was doodle of her carrying several stacks of cash into a casino below the signature. Naruto huffed and walked out of city hall, very, very, slowly. He needed to go give the old lady a piece of his mind.
To say that Anko was horny was a gross understatement. After her little adventure with Naruto in the woods, she was literally itching for another ride on her new favorite boy toy. Being the forward thinking ninja she was, she been working out her urges on the heavy bag she installed in her apartment, as she knew that the wait would be longer than she wanted, but shorter than she expected. Sadly for Anko, beating on a giant bag of sand can only curb one's sexual desires for so long, and eventually, it began to tug at Anko's inner sadomasochist.
Fully understanding the futility and the actual counter-productivity of hitting a sandbag, she opted to go hunt down her target, but without the faintest idea of where to find him, she decided to call in a favor from 'Tsunade-Onee-chan'.
Anko took a 4 and a half minute shower, she was always meticulous like that, and squeezed into a distractingly tight and backless halter top, after that, Anko grabbed her keys and threw on her signature miniskirt.
She had foregone putting on a bra in anticipation of running into Naruto that night; it'd make it easier to drag him into her den for the night, not to mention the ease of access when the clothes started to hit the floor.
Anko licked her lips and took a leisurely stroll to the Hokage's tower, which by coincidence was where Naruto... and everyone else was headed.
Ino was furiously stomping down the street with a squirming Hanabi in tow. She was searching frantically for Naruto, but in her anger, she'd forgotten who she was with.
Hanabi snapped Ino out of her rage when she inquired. "Are you searching for Uzumaki-san?"
Ino paused and her raging demeanor flipped to a kind one in an instant. "Yes. You wouldn't mind helping me would you?"
"On the condition you promise not to attack him. Your motivations seem questionable at the moment."
Ino was lying through her teeth as she answered the 10 year old. "Oh, no. I just wanna talk to him!"
Hanabi, while intelligent, was rather short on social skills, so she took Ino's reply at face value. She flipped her Byakugan on and off and pointed toward the Hokage tower. "I believe he's headed toward the tower."
"Then that's where we're going! … Why were you out by yourself at this hour?"
"I asked Neji-san to take me out for ice cream. I escaped while he was making the purchase so I could buy our c-."
Ino slapped her hand over Hanabi's mouth as they were on a crowded street, she nearly punched the nearest bystander at Hanabi's usage of 'our'. The last thing Ino needed was to be under suspicion of the corruption of minors, so she silently trudged on toward the tower.
Naruto rode the newly replaced elevator until he reached the top floor. In his frustration, he'd totally forgotten what happened the last three times he'd kicked the door in, so he of course, planted his foot in the wood.
A shock of pain raced up Naruto's leg as the door didn't budge from the kick.
"Chakra reinforced, huh."
Naruto was about to twist the knob when he heard yelling from inside the door, it was Ero-Sannin. The thickness of the door prevented him from hearing, so for the first time in his life, Naruto quietly pulled the door open and walked in. Ero-Sannin was in a yelling match with Obaa-chan, and it was obvious that they were both rather drunk.
Naruto, also used to dealing with drunkenese translation, was able to convert their conversation into intelligible language. Naruto however, found the conversation rather awkward to sit in on. Obaa-chan looked rather pouty and angry with Ero-Sannin, who in his drunken stupor, was much more standoffish than usual.
Tsunade pointed at Jiraiya in disgust as she rattled off his mistakes. "You're –hic- the one that –hic- ran away as soon as things started getting serious! What happened to 'I'll –hic- marry you someday' huh?!"
Jiraiya burped and rolled his eyes as he sloshed back. "You drank too much then, and you –hic- drink too much now. Not to mention your gambling problems, I'm surprised you nearly got me to –hic- propose!"
Tsunade slammed her desk and the building shook. "Nobody's perf-hic- …perfect, and you're especially one to -hic- talk. I may have been drunk on the sake –hic- but you were drunk on every-hic-thing else! You ran off chasing some floozy every chance you –hic- got."
Jiraiya managed to hold down some puke as he retorted in his own drunken language. "I was waiting for you ta stop with all the –hic- gambling –hic- and drinking… and-" Jiraiya fell backward and stumbled around the room for a few seconds as he tried to find his bearings.
"Tsunade-hime… what'd you –hic- how hard is this sake?"
"DON'T CHANGE THE –hic- SUBJECT YOU INSENSITIVE MORON! ... I finally agree to a date and you stand me u-... oh gods..." Tsunade also began to struggle to hold down her own vomit.
After composing herself, she continued the conversation from where it left off. "... To answer your previous question, I was going through a –hic- a rough patch in life. "
Jiraiya gave a condescending burp… however the hell that was possible. "-hic- Well if this is past-tense, why're ya still –hic- pissin' away all yer cash and…" Jiraiya passed out before he could finish his sentence.
Tsunade glared at Jiraiya and took another drag of her sake, it was then that she noticed Naruto and Shizune, who'd also walked in somewhere during the argument.
Tsunade stumbled over to Naruto and gave him a back crunching hug. "Psshhh. Minato-kun, -hic- promise me you won't end up like us, -hic- still bickering in our old age."
Naruto just stared blankly at the event he'd just witnessed, that and he began drawing parallels to his own life. He began to wonder if his relationship with Sakura would begin to mirror this one based on how the situation with Sasuke was solved.
Shizune realized that Naruto wouldn't be moving for a few more minutes, so she hoisted Tsunade over her shoulder and plopped her back in her chair. Tsunade began to protest, but she fell back into her chair when she tried to stand. Since moving wouldn't be an option, she began trying to wake Jiraiya, seeing as she wasn't finished with him yet.
Shizune surveyed the room, and to her surprise, their little anniversary was much less destructive than it had been in previous years. Shizune then pulled Naruto out of Tsunade's office and shut the door.
Naruto finally snapped out of his realization of how similar team 7 was to the Sannin and whirled around to face Shizune.
"What did I just witness?"
Shizune sighed. "It's rather simple. Their relationship was severely damaged by extenuating circumstances and their own personal ways of coping with their grief got in the way… Kind of sad, isn't it? When Tsunade-sama first took me on as an apprentice, I was almost sure that she'd marry Jiraiya-sama, but I guess shinobi life ran it's course on them... She may have been drunk, but she did give you some really good advice."
Naruto worriedly scratched the back of his head as he called the elevator and stepped in with Shizune.
"Ne, Shizune-Onee-chan? How will I know if someone is right for me?"
Shizune jumped when she didn't really have an answer. "Ahii! What?"
Naruto placed his hands behind his head as he stared at the floor indicator. "You seem experienced, so I'd figured you'd know."
"Well –ahem- it just happens when it's supposed to… yeah, that's right. You'll know when the time comes... Assuming they're not intimidated by success..." Shizune attempted to give her best answer, but sort of trailed off as she lost her train of thought, visibly annoyed.
Naruto smiled and gave her a thumbs-up as he stepped off the elevator. "Thanks for the advice!"
Internally, Naruto was slapping his forehead. 'Why'm I askin' Shizune-Onee-chan? All of her suitors run away when they find out how much of a workaholic she is!'
The Kyuubi licked his chops as took a look at Shizune's breasts through Naruto's eyes. 'Weeeellll, you can change that for her right… right?'
'Are you insane? I have enough women to deal with as is.'
Naruto waved goodbye to Shizune as the elevator door shut. He spun on his heels and strolled out the tower's front door. The air was cool, and the sky was a nice twilight color. The streets of Konoha began to awake for the night, with paper lanterns lining the streets, advertising shops, or just lighting the way. In all of the energy of a night in Konoha, Naruto failed to notice the girl standing in front of him.
Naruto looked at her for a second and mentally slapped his forehead as the years of clues and messages compiled in his mind and he finally came to a conclusion. Hinata was standing in front of him, looking flustered, yet extremely determined.
'... She likes me too doesn't she. At least I know she's being sincere. In hindsight, I think she's been in my corner since day one.'
Hinata took several deep breaths as she walked closer to Naruto and began to talk.
Her small voice squeaked out just enough for Naruto to hear. "Naruto-kun? There's something I've been meaning to ask you for a few years now..."
Naruto pulled up his signature fox grin. "What's up Hinata-chan? I can see that you recognize me this time... I will admit that I did need a haircut, so no harm done."
Hinata gave a sigh of relief and her face went from tomato red to a light pink… a slight improvement.
Hinata pressed her fingers together. "That's one thing out of the way. I've been wanting to ask you this for years, but... it seems I have to hurry up because everybody wants you to be their boyfriend now."
Naruto stared at her in surprise. "I forgot you lost your stutter."
Hinata's mouth turned upward into a little smile and she bowed to him. "Thank you Naruto-kun. I… I'd like to ask if we could go on a date... If it's okay with you."
Naruto looked at her and smiled a bit, she was completely adorable, so he just couldn't refuse. Naruto grabbed her hands and gave her a small nod.
"Of course we can go on a date Hinata-chan."
Hinata smiled as her face turned red again and she fainted into Naruto's arms. Naruto stood there for a second and groaned.
"Why's this always happen to me?"
'I spy a golden opportunity!'
'... She's passed out you ass.'
The Kyuubi smirked and wagged his tails as he surveyed the younger, bigger, more promising pair of breasts.
'And you know what that means… she can't say no.'
'Shut up.'
