AN: Alright, New Chapter, New Day! As I said before I will be placing all notes in the story at the bottom, which seems to take up a LOT of the editing process. (I have got to stop making so many damn notes!) Anyway I hope you all like the chapter, so here you go and enjoy!

As the warm sun rose over the eastern mountains once again, song birds could be heard praising the dawn as the day began. Naruto woke with a yawn, feeling very refreshed as he began to stretch out, only to find the lovely Ino still in his arms. Immediately he looked down on her still sleeping form and smiled, remembering the events of the night before. Waking up to a girl in his arms was a new experience for him, one of many in the last 24 hours, but one he would cherish all the same. He knew this wouldn't happen every morning, so took this for one of the many new blessings in his life. He relished in the warmth of her embrace, the softness of her skin, and the way her body molded to his as she lay against him. He craned his head down, nestled his nose against the top of the sleeping beauty's head and drank deeply of her scent. His eyes fluttered as he did so, he loved the way she smelled, he could breath this scent in all day. Oh how he wanted to, how he wished he could stay like this for the rest of eternity.
Sadly this could not be, as life began to rose around them, so too did he know they should rise as well. He gently stroked her golden locks, and kissed the top of her head, and she began to stir. Ino took a sharp waking breath, along with a soft groan as she began to stretch as well, as she lazily opened her eyes. Quickly she recognized where she was, and remembered having stayed the night with Naruto, something she knew she would regret later. But right now, she didn't even care! She looked up towards the man in her arms and blushingly smiled, as she whispered; "Good Morning handsome!" giggling as she did so, some part of her still felt like this was a dream.
Naruto blushed at the greeting, that was still something he wasn't use to, having a girl call him "handsome" was something more of a dream for him until now. He gave a small chuckle as he whispered back; "Good Morning beautiful!" they shared a small laugh and then he gently kissed her to which she blissfully moaned into. He pulled back and pulled her closer to him, as she nestled her head back into it's original position from when she woke. Even though her body was still sore from yesterday, Ino couldn't have been happier if she tried! As she laid there, rubbing her hand over his chest, a single thought crossed her mind. 'Sucks to be you Forehead!' she gave a quiet snicker, thinking of the expression Sakura would have if she saw them like this. Not that she wanted that, she was still Sakura's friend, but as long as she was with Naruto that made Sakura as well as Hinata her rivals.
But the more she thought about it, the more she wondered if she could even be considered their rival? Both of them loved Naruto with all their hearts, but what about her? Could she honestly say she loved him, that besides the sex that she truly had feelings for him? True this had been a mission, but had it spawned to something more? She couldn't say for certain. Sure she was attracted to him, so much so that he could weasel his way in and out of her pants in no time, and she loved the way he looked at her with such adoring eyes. Eyes of which she had no doubt could melt the heart of even the coldest bitch in existence, eyes that gave her such comfort and joy, something she hadn't known until now. She thought back to the time when he kissed her, the one that nearly knocked her off her feet, and the words he said before he did. As well as the happiness those words had brought, at that moment in time she would swear she could have grown wings and flew across the heavens with how happy she felt!
Even now just thinking about that moment warmed her heart, and brought a smile to her face. She suddenly froze, as she realized that maybe, just maybe she was already in love with him! But that couldn't have been true, to fall in love in a single day?! A few days ago, that idea seemed laughable, impossible even! But then again, and especially when it came to Naruto, nothing was impossible. Naruto surprised her as he suddenly began to move, rubbing his left hand up and down her back, as he brushed her hair behind her ear with the other. She blissfully closed her eyes, and indulged in the sensation, moaning lightly from it. Smiling as she did so. She looked up and opened her eyes, then stared into his own gorgeous eyes and noticed that he was sporting his own smile. Ino suddenly found herself blushing as she was staring at him, wondering if he could read minds all of a sudden, it was a foolish idea but she couldn't stop blushing regardless.
She turned her head away out of embarrassment, however as she did, she caught a glimpse of the alarm clock and her eyes went wide in shock. It was 7:47 am! "OH FUCK!" she said as she jumped up like a lightning bolt and hurried to get dressed, she couldn't believe she had slept so long, but after everything they did yesterday she could understand why.
Naruto also shot up to a sitting position looking very confused. "What? What is it?" He asked, feeling concerned that he had done something wrong.
Ino was in too much of a hurry to bother with her bra and panties as she replied; "I'm going to be late! I forgot I have to do rounds this morning, I have to be at the hospital in less than an hour!" She quickly grabbed her shirt and skirt and threw them on, then tied her hair back in to her usual ponytail. She could worry about the rest of her clothes later, she could only hope no one would notice she wasn't wearing undergarments. Plus if anything, it gave her an excuse to come back. She smiled at the opportunity that would bring.
Naruto blinked for a few seconds, before he smacked his forehead in realization. "OH RIGHT! You're a medical ninja. Sorry if I knew you had rounds, I would have set the alarm clock." he said with a sheepish grin, as he rubbed the back of his head.
Ino giggled and shook her head at the display, it was her fault yet he was the one apologizing? "Don't worry about it, besides I'm the one who forgot. You're too sweet for your own good you know that right?" she said with a smile.
Naruto chuckled himself as he grinned, and then answered; "So I've been told. You know, if you want, you can use my shower if like?" he chuckled once more after he spoke. It amazed her that with all that he has to worry about, he still was this carefree, this light hearted. But she of all people knew he carried a great weight, one that was too great for one man, for it could shift at any moment and drag him down with it. She decided then and there, that he wouldn't bare this alone. Whether or not she was in love with him didn't matter at this point, she would help him any way she could, even if it was just through sex.
Ino gave a devious smile, knowing the reason he offered took a few steps back toward him, then leaned down as she said; "Tempting, but maybe next time Tiger." and pulled his chin up for a deep, tender sensual kiss goodbye. One that almost tempted her to stay for one more round. Hell, even medics can call in sick! But she knew that if she didn't start making appearances, people would start getting suspicious about their recent activities. Namely Sakura, not to mention her team mates, and that wasn't something she could afford. She moaned into the kiss, as Naruto soon followed suit. She gave a few more fleeting kisses, trying to savor the moment, before she whispered in a sexy tone; "See you later, Tiger." purring his new nickname and pulled away regrettably, giving his cheek one last kiss goodbye.
Naruto blissfully shivered at her tone, finding himself beginning to like that nickname more and more. His own grin grew lecherous as he replied; "You too." as she kissed his cheek, of which became like a furnace with how red it was, and with that she was out his window and gone. It wasn't so much out of embarrassment that he blushed, but rather joy. For once in his all to miserable life, he was happy about something that didn't involve Ramen or Training! Speaking of the two, he knew he had to get dressed and get back to the latter and soon. He leaned back and laid in his bed for a few moments longer as he pondered about this, as well as tried to remember the warmth of Ino's body against his which was quickly dissipating. It amazed him at how quickly what he thought could possibly be the worst day in his life, became the greatest day he ever had! In one day his entire life had done a complete one-eighty on him, and this time for the better! He sighed happily as he remembered all that transpired yesterday. Not only had he lost his virginity to an extremely beautiful girl, he also had the greatest birthday bash in existence and got some great gifts out of it, not to mention a few great laughs as well. And to top it all off, said girl even spent the night with him, that is after a hot night of wild sex. And he had no doubt, that if he had pushed just a little more, she probably would have stayed and done it all over again. He closed his eyes as he thought back to the things they did together, and the pleasure they shared. As he did, a blissful smile graced his lips, nothing could ruin his day today! But then he thought of Sakura, and his eyes shot open. He looked at the bracelet on his wrist, and a sudden wave of guilt passed through him, true he enjoyed his time with Ino but in a way he still loved Sakura.
Sure, most would consider it foolish to love someone who always treated you the way Sakura treated him, yet he couldn't let go. He knew that sooner or later he would have to make a decision, but before he could, he had to know how Ino felt. True they were lovers now, but where they really IN love? That remained to be seen, but that could wait, right now he had other business to attend to. Grandma Tsunade had told him to meet her in her office this morning for his present from last night, and figured he had kept that waiting long enough. He got up and went to take a shower, after doing the usual routine, he got out and got dressed in his usual ninja gear plus the coat that Ino had given him. He had to admit, as far as clothes go, Ino had taste. Then again, it was more then likely because she knew him so well. He picked up the scroll with his gear and such inside it, and stuffed it in the pocket inside his coat. It was then that he noticed Ino had left her undergarments here, and a small lecherous grin grew on his face once more, knowing full well she would return for them later. But for now, they were his trophies, proof that she had been here and what they had done together. He picked them up and stuffed them into his dresser, he would give them back, but she would definitely have to work for them. He smiled thinking of the promises that thought had, and with that he was off.

Ino had rushed back to her own house, making sure to sneak back into her room before her mom was up, and gathered her clothes to take a shower. When she was in said shower, she also tried to quell the ravenous lust that Naruto roused in her, and even though she orgasmed she found it was very muted in comparison. At the very least this only confirmed her theory, Naruto was the only one who could give that kind of pleasure, that level of satisfaction. While on some level that made her glad to know she enjoyed him so much, it also frustrated her, because now it would take twice as many to keep her sated then it use to. Which could be a problem if she were to find herself stuck on a long term mission, with Naruto no where to be found, and her memories of their sessions wakes a beast she can't put back to sleep.
But on the plus side it also meant she wouldn't have to worry about Kiba ever again, then again she knew he would have a field day if he ever found out about them, which somehow brought her mind back to Hinata. The mere thought of that mutt getting his hands on her made her worried. Kami only knows what he would do to Hinata if he ever had the chance. And she knew, that if Hinata ever found out about Naruto and her, that would be all the chance that slime ball would need! As she exited the shower, she tried to put that out of her mind, as she dried off and got dressed. However she found this to be difficult as a sense of guilt passed over her, she knew that if such event were to happen she would never be able to forgive herself. True her and Hinata were technically rivals, but she still cared for the Hyuga heiress, and she knew she could never let something like that happen.
She either had to find a way to keep this a secret for as long as possible, or find a way to convince the Pale-eyed Princess that not every thing is what it seemed. "Yeah right, like that would ever happen." she said to herself with a sigh, Hinata was so hung up on Naruto, that she knew the moment Hinata found out about her and him she would be crushed! A thousand different scenarios flew through her head, none of which she liked, and they only got worse as they rolled on by. Though she didn't think the Dog-ninja capable of some of the things she was thinking, she knew that if Hinata had denied Kiba even after having her heartbroken, she wouldn't put it past him. After all, desperate men, do very STUPID things. She shook her head violently, she had to get these thoughts out of her head, plenty of time to worry about that when they come to that bridge. Right now she had to get ready for work. As she tied her hair back into her usual ponytail, she gave herself one last look over in the mirror, she was dressed in her ninja gear once again as she did regularly when she attended the hospital. After everything was in place, she gave a nod of approval and left for the hospital.

Meanwhile, Naruto decided to take the long way to Tsunade's Mansion. He had a surprisingly cheerful smile on his face, as he held his hands behind his head, while he walked down the street. Even the cold stares of the elders couldn't faze him today! He took in a deep breath and smelled the air around him, there was a strange sweet scent on the wind today, but it was welcomed. He closed his eyes and pulled his head back, feeling the warmth of the sun on his face, it was a beautiful day as usual. He then caught the scent of Ichiraku's Ramen and his mouth instantly watered, however that would have to wait, there would be plenty of time to eat later. Just as he was about to take off he heard the familiar sound of; "HEY Naruto!" Confused, Naruto looked around for the source of the greeting, that's when he saw them. It was Konohamaru and his teammates or the "Konohamaru Corps" as he liked to call them.
He gave a quick chuckle as he greeted them; "Hey Konohamaru, what's up? What are you guys doing?" Aside from Sasuke, Konohamaru was the closest thing he had to a real brother. Like Naruto, Konohamaru was a master prankster, so much so that he could be considered Naruto's rival. Along side him were Udon and Moegi, with Udon to Konohamaru's right, and Moegi to his left.
Konohamaru just chuckled as he bore a similar grin to the one Naruto usually has. "Nothing much, we just got back from a mission…" he paused as he just noticed Naruto's new attire, "…WHOA! Awesome coat Naruto! Where did you get it!" he curiously asked. Konohamaru and Team Ebisu had been on a C-rank Delivery mission to the Land of Waves 2 days prior, and only recently returned to town. The reason for this being, Ebisu was just as much a pervert as Jiraiya and Kakashi, and decided to stay an extra day to ogle the ladies in the Hot springs. Suffice to say, they had no knowledge of the events that transpired yesterday, namely the Party.
Naruto just chuckled and gave a grin of his own as he turned around to give them a better view of the coat before he answered; "You like it? Ino gave it to me!" his voice held a small amount of pride as he said that.
Both Udon and Moegi reacted with the same 'Awe' that Konohamaru had, whom of which began to ask; "Huh? Ino gave that to you? But why would she do that?" with a confused look on his face, more surprised that Ino would give him anything at all besides lip. Both Udon and Moegi just looked at Konohamaru and then to each other, then back to Naruto with the same inquisitive and confused looks on their faces.
Naruto quickly turned around and placed his hands on his hips in sort of a "super hero" pose, as he chuckled and then answered; "Because yesterday was my birthday!" at which all three of them went bug-eyed in disbelief.
But none more so then Konohamaru as he replied; "Seriously!" mortified that he had missed his best friend and mentor's birthday. After recovering from her initial shock, Moegi began to slightly blush at Naruto, mainly for how cool he looked. True she had feelings for Konohamaru, but she still respected and admired Naruto for how strong he was. It was no secret to them that Naruto played a HUGE role in stopping the sand invasion when he beat Gaara, so in a way he was like a Hero to her.
Naruto folded his hands behind his head while he continued to grin, as he answered; "Yep! Just about everyone I know pitched in and threw a surprise party for me. A surprise party, for ME, can you believe it?!" he chuckled as he finished, still unable to comprehend that himself.
All at once the 3 of them joined in a unified shocked reply of; "WHAT!?" their jaws practically hit the ground as they said that. Konohamaru couldn't believe his ears, a party, an actual birthday party for Naruto! And THEY missed it! 'Damn you Ebisu-sensei! Because of you, we missed out on the boss's birthday party! OOOH your going to pay for that!' he thought, his fist shaking as he formulated his revenge on his sunglasses wearing sensei. Already he was thinking of a thousand different ways to prank the would-be Jonin, most of which involved his many forms of the Sexy Jutsu technique. Having learned it from the Blond Jinchuuriki, Konohamaru had become something of a pervert as well because of Naruto, and just like him had used this technique many times in his pranks. Needless to say, Ebisu had fallen for it EVERY time.
Udon also replied in similar disappointment; "A Party! For REAL!?"
Moegi was quick to follow up as she said; "I can't believe we missed it! What else did you get?" curious as to what Naruto had acquired from his celebration.
Naruto dropped his grin, most of what he had got from yesterday was still in his home, save for what items remained in the scroll. He hadn't even grabbed the other kunai pouch that Tenten had got him, thinking he wouldn't need it. Knowing that he was in a hurry, decided to show just a few of the items, the rest he could show off later. He pulled his wrist with the bracelet on it down so they could see it. "Well, I got this bracelet from Sakura, who pretty much organized the party herself. The coat as you know I got from Ino…" he paused as he reached inside his jacket and pulled out the scroll to display it, "…I also got this storage scroll and two others like it from Neji, so far they have proven pretty useful. I also got a set of Training weights from Lee, and a new set of Kunai and pouch from Tenten, and…Oh yeah! You guys are going to love these!" he said as he pulled the scroll open, then moved to the slot with the Tiger Claw Gauntlets inside and retrieved them from the scroll. Quickly Naruto grabbed the gauntlets before they fell, making sure to close the scroll before he did, and strapped them on. He chuckled as he asked; "Well what do you think!" then waited for their opinions.
Already he was getting praises, as they each gasped respectively; "Oh WOW! COOL! AWESOME!" but it was Konohamaru who asked; "Where did you get those!" with an excited grin on his face.
Naruto just laughed as he replied; "Super Busy Brow-sensei gave them to me, he said I reminded him of a tiger, so now he's calling me the Tiger of the Leaf! How's that for cool?" he chuckled once more as he grinned with pride.
Konohamaru chuckled as well as he repeated; "Tiger of the Leaf huh? Not bad Naruto! So come on, show us what those things can do!" immediately afterwards both Udon and Moegi joined in with a shared "Yeah!" though Moegi slightly squealed in excitement.
Meanwhile, Naruto was so caught up with Konohamaru, Udon and Moegi that he didn't notice that Sakura had been watching and listening in from afar. It amused her at how well he got along with the kids, especially Konohamaru, though she could see why. In a way, they reminded her of themselves and Sasuke when they were that young, with some minor differences of course. The biggest of course being that Udon was nothing like what Sasuke use to be, that and that the three of them seemed to be closer then her, Naruto and Sasuke use to be. But as she watched, a small amount of joy filled her heart, hearing that he was still wearing the bracelet. It proved to her that he still cared, that there was still hope, a chance to make things right with him. Her heart thundered in her chest with how happy she was to know that, strange how only 3 short years ago the very idea of that Naruto could make her feel this way, that she would actually pray and beg Kami for the chance to be with him would have been unthinkable! Now however, she was glad she was wrong. She placed a hand over her heart, and sighed happily as she watched them from behind the corner of a building. Sure she felt like a stalker, but she didn't want them to notice her just yet. She giggled lightly as Naruto brought up the title that Guy-sensei had given him, it was a silly title, but she had to admit it was one that fit him.
Naruto looked up real quick to check the time, from the position of the sun he guessed it to be around 8:33 Am, he knew he probably shouldn't keep Grandma Tsunade waiting for much longer. "Sorry guys, but Grandma Tsunade is expecting me, and you know how cranky she gets if you keep her waiting too long." he said in a regretful tone. He hated letting them down like this, but he had to get going.
All three of them gave a sad "Aw…" sound, but it was Konohamaru once again who spoke first as he said; "Man this stinks! I really wanted to see them in action!"
Udon and Moegi both nodded their heads in agreement as they said; "Yeah me too!" in a disappointed tone.
Naruto carefully raised his right hand and began scratching the back of his head sheepishly, mindful of the claw gauntlets he still wore, as he began to think of a way to cheer them up. It didn't seem right for him to get their hopes up like this for nothing. That's when he got an idea! "Hey I know! I'll tell you what you guys…after I get done at Grandma Tsunade's, I'm planning on doing some training with these and a few other things, so meet me at Training Area 15 and I can just show you guys then ok?" he asked with a cheerful smile, he had planed to ask Tenten to teach him how to better use the gauntlets, since even as skilled as he was he knew next to nothing on how to fight with them. In truth though he wished he could ask Sora since he was more familiar with this type of weapon, however the Fire Temple was a little over a day and a half away from the village, and with the Akatsuki still in the Land of Fire he couldn't leave the village until further notice. Not that he could complain, since it gave him time to catch up on his training, not to mention plenty of time to spend with Ino. But for now, he would take what he could get.
Konohamaru, Udon and Moegi all nodded in agreement as they excitedly answered; "YEAH!" and ran off, but it was Konohamaru who called back; "See you later Naruto!" as he chased after his friends. But suddenly he stopped and turned back as he said; "OH YEAH I almost forgot…" then put his hands together and formed a hand sign as he yelled; "TRANSFORM!" and a puff of smoke appeared. When the smoke cleared, in Konohamaru's place was a beautiful naked woman, with long brown hair and dark eyes, her breasts and womanhood were covered by small puffs of smoke. She had one arm behind her head, the other firmly on her waist, as she winked and seductively said in a soft voice; "Happy Birthday, Naruto!" and then vanished back into Konohamaru who once again took off after the others.
Needless to say, the display mortified Sakura, however Naruto only chuckled as he waved to them and yelled back; "See you later Konohamaru, and THANKS!" He shook his head as the left, then removed the gauntlets and put them back into the scroll. Konohamaru always was good for a laugh, if only he had been here a day earlier, then maybe he wouldn't have felt half as bad as he did. It was right then that he finally noticed Sakura's presence, and called out to her. "Hey Sakura, what's up?" he asked as he turned toward her direction.
Sakura gasped and gave a sheepish chuckle, having realized she had been caught, she came out from behind the building where she had been hiding and began walking closer to him. "Busted huh?" She asked as she scratched the back of her neck, feeling a little silly for hiding from him.
Naruto chuckled once more, as he replied; "Yeah pretty much!" his expression quickly turned serious as he asked; "So what gives? It's not like you to hide yourself like that, especially from me." he quirked an eyebrow as he waited for her answer.
Sakura blushed slightly and looked away for a moment, embarrassed at her behavior as she quickly replied; "Sorry about that, it's just…well…it's been a while since you've seen them and I didn't want to spoil the moment." Of course this wasn't the whole story, in truth she wanted to check up on him, and see how he was doing since yesterday. Sure the party had done the trick, it had helped him feel better that much was obvious, but what was one day of happiness compared to a lifetime of misery?
Naruto blinked for a few moments then chuckled as he raised his arms behind his head in a carefree manner as he said; "Is that all? Honestly, you didn't have to worry about that, I'm sure they would have loved to see you as well." he gave his trademark grin as he spoke, but then he made a sudden observation. "You know something, you have been acting very weird for a while now, is something on your mind?" he asked as he cocked his head to the left..
Sakura's eyes widened in panic, she quickly looked away as she tried to think of an answer, how do you tell someone you like them after you put them though so much hell? Unable to come up with one at the moment, she did the only thing she could think of, lie her ass off. She quickly turned her head back towards him as she asked in return; "Oh really? How so?" She gave a silent gulp, hoping that he wouldn't catch on.
Naruto had to think about what to say, lest he anger her unintentionally and cause her to hit him, finding no other approach that might work he opted to be blunt with her. "Well…A few months ago when you came to my house you seemed dazed, almost out of it. Then when we were on the mission, you hardly looked at me let alone said two words to me, it felt like you were giving me the cold shoulder. After that you were pretty much every where I went, almost like you were my shadow. And yesterday you didn't hit me even when I hugged you like that, twice no less. Sure any other day of the week you probably would have put me into the ground, but still special circumstances aside, the fact is you didn't." he said as he thought back to all that transpired over the last 4 months.
Sakura began to blush, and with each explanation it only deepened, to the point where she had to force herself to turn around lest he see it. How could she have been so careless? Even he had began to notice her change in habits! What was worse was that he was absolutely right, especially about the last part, the old Sakura would have done just that and so much more. By the time she would have been done with him he would have been lucky to still be breathing! But she didn't want to be that person any more, sure there were days when he deserved to get hit, most that involved him using that stupid Sexy Jutsu of his. But yesterday was definitely not one of them. He needed the comfort, needed to know that people cared for him, and she gave that to him. She couldn't fault him for thanking her, especially not when it was what she wanted. She could hate herself for it later, right now she had to think fast or else he might get more suspicious then he already was. She turned around quickly having fought off the embarrassment and said; "OH! Silly me, I hadn't noticed. I guess I have been out of it huh?" she gave a slight knock on her head and stuck out her tongue in a silly manner, to play off her ruse. She was trying to distract him from the current subject, which was her new found attraction and possible love for him, she could only pray that he wouldn't figure it out.
Naruto looked at her strangely before they both shared a small laugh, he shook his head as he gave another small chuckle before he asked; "And you call me the Class Clown! Are you sure you're feeling OK?" he gave an amused smile, as he raised an eyebrow towards his question.
Sakura followed suit, thankful that he had bought it, for now at least. She laced her arms behind her back and gave a cheerful heartfelt smile as she replied; "Don't worry, I'm fine really!" however as she said this she thought, 'Better then fine actually, now that I know I at least have a foot in the door.' referring to him still wearing the bracelet, knowing that meant she still at least had a chance at him. Small though it maybe, a small chance is better than none at all. Fearful that he may start asking more questions, she decided it was time for a change of subject, and so she asked; "Shouldn't you get going, after all isn't Lady Tsunade expecting you?"
Naruto went bug-eyed, having all but forgotten about Granny Tsunade as he replied; "GAH, YOU"RE RIGHT! Oh crap I better get moving, see you later Sakura!" and turned around and bolted for Tsunade's place.
Sakura did as Naruto had done for Konohamaru and his friends, and waved good-bye as she called back; "Later Naruto!" Then when he was gone, she breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that she didn't want him to find out, just not this soon. Not until she could put her feelings for Sasuke to rest. Then she could give him what he really wanted, a chance to be with her, no strings attached. No past emotions to cloud her feelings for Naruto, no chances for the Uchiha to screw things up between them. She wanted to belong to Naruto and Naruto ONLY, no one else, and she wanted him to know that. It was only a matter of time before that was possible, either one of two things needed to happen. 1.) Either Sasuke returned to the village, or 2.) said moron had died. Knowing Naruto, he wouldn't allow the last one, seeing as he still thought of him like a brother. Which only left one option. And that didn't seem likely, even if he did, all Sasuke had to look forward too was jail time or worse. Not exactly a good reason to return, meaning that the only way Sasuke would return, was in a body bag if at all. Sakura gave a depressed sigh at the notion, not for the thought of Sasuke being dead, but how it would affect Naruto. In truth she had all but given up on Sasuke, but Naruto had promised he would return Sasuke to her, something she had come to regret making him do.
'I wish I had never made that stupid request! Then maybe this might be a little easier.'
She thought with a huff as she looked away, there was nothing she could do to change the past and she knew it, the only thing she cold do now was to help him weather the storm when it came. She would be there for him when he needed her, to give him the strength to carry on when he would have none for himself. This was the least she could do, after all that he had done for her. With one more soft sigh, she headed towards the hospital to start her rounds. However, unknown to all of them, Sakura wasn't the only one who was watching from afar…
Hinata as always had been watching Sakura and Naruto, though mainly the latter, she couldn't help but notice the changes in Sakura that Naruto had pointed out. She, unlike Naruto, wasn't so oblivious to the truth. Having suffered the same symptoms herself, it could only mean one thing…"Sakura is in love with him!" she whispered to herself, shocked at this revelation! She began to panic, if Naruto found out about this, then her chances with the Blond were all but shot! Thankfully, for whatever reason, Sakura had opted to keep it a secret. Which meant she had time, not much of it, but enough. She had to move quickly, lest she lose the love of her life forever! The question being, could she honestly find the strength to tell him how she felt? Whether or not she could didn't matter at this point, her window of opportunity was closing fast, from this moment on it was Love or Bust! But she needed advice, Kurenai-sensei was helpful but only to an extent, so with that in mind she chose to ask the only girl she knew who could help her. When her shift was over she would talk to Ino, but right now she had training of her own to deal with, so without further delay she headed back toward Training Area 19 where Kiba and Shino were waiting for her.

Naruto finally arrived at the Hokage Mansion at 9:13 AM. Once more he was greeted by Shizune, only this time on more friendly terms than opposed to yesterday, as Naruto was the first to say; "Hey Shizune, how are you today?" with a big smile on his face.
However it was Shizune who began to act strange, as she nervously replied; "Oh…umm…Hi Naruto! I'm fine, h-how are you?" finishing with a nervous chuckle. The reason being, that in one short day, she had learned more about Naruto then she had ever planned to. Hence the awkward moment. And unfortunately for her, said information, had led to some very strange dreams. Not that the dreams pertained to Naruto exclusively, but rather about what he and Ino had done, and what it would be like for her first time. Namely with one Izumo Kamizuki, whom she had a crush on for the last 2 years. Though in truth she knew it was just fantasy, seeing as every time she came near the man she couldn't think straight, let alone say one word to him outside of missions. Still, a girl could dream right?
Naruto immediately sensed the tension coursing through her, however having only just recently learned of the arts of Seduction, he knew little of the signs of a woman's desire. Therefore, he mistook her lust, for fear. Fear, he gathered, that she had somehow offended him yesterday. So being the kind hearted person he was, he tried to put her mind at ease. "I'm…fine. Listen…about how I acted…I'm sorry, it was very rude of me to just walk away like that and I want you to know I'm not mad at you or any thing." he said as he awkwardly scratched the back of his head.
The sudden apology threw Shizune for a loop, having come out of no where, it wasn't what she expected. However she took it as a blessing in disguise, grateful for that infamous thick skull of his. It amazed her that someone of his sexual talent, as Ino so enthusiastically exclaimed, could be so innocent, so unknowing to the ways of a woman. Then again, who was she to judge, seeing as she knew next to nothing on how to seduce a man all together. She gave a small giggle, and lowered her eyes as she calmed down, thinking that more then likely Ino had been pretty blunt when she seduced him. Still, it didn't make this situation any less comfortable, so she schooled her features quickly as she took a deep breath, looked up and smiled in her usual way. "Oh don't worry about it, I'm just glad you're feeling better. Oh…Lady Tsunade is waiting for you!" she said, as she pointed him towards Tsunade's office. For the sake of Ino's mission, she decided to avoid the issue, lest Naruto get too suspicious of her.
Naruto's eyes widened and he grinned in excitement as he remembered the reason he came here, then quickly replied; "OH…RIGHT! See you later Shizune, and thanks!" before entering Tsunade's office. Closing the door before he could get an answer.
As he entered, Tsunade had a small smirk on her face, as she saw him in his new coat. She may as well have been looking at a smaller version of her old teammates protégé. 'No doubt about it, he is definitely Minato's son.' she thought with a shake of her head, true she had known this already, but that new coat of his had been a real wake-up call! She decided to break the ice first this time as she said; "Good Morning Naruto!" with an honest heart-felt smile.
As Naruto approached her, he returned the smile with a grin of his own, as he playfully replied: "Good Morning to you too Granny!" to which Tsunade's smile immediately dead-panned into her usual annoyed glare as she growled at him, which in turn caused Naruto to bust up laughing. 'Well…at least he's back to his old self…' Tsunade thought with a huff, not sure if that was a good thing or a bad one. But considering how he acted yesterday, she would take this Naruto over that one any day of the week! Naruto's expression quickly turned serious as he sat down, clearly he had something on his mind as he began to say; "Listen, about yesterday…I wanted to apologize…" however, he was cut off as Tsunade raised a hand, stopping him in place.
Tsunade's smile returned as she quickly explained; "It's OK Naruto, I completely understand. Hell, if it were me in your shoes, the sky would be raining fire and brimstone by now. Besides, you had a right to be angry. After everything the village has done to you, what I told you must have felt like someone poured lemon juice over a fresh wound. So I won't hold it against you, and in all honesty I can't blame you."
As she finished Naruto's smile returned as well, as he was glad to know he was off the hook, at least in that part. However, there was still something on his mind, so with out further delay, he asked; "Thank you. OH! By the way…I was wondering if I could…well if I could get that photo of my Dad? For home of course, I promise no one but me will see it." as he scratched the back of his head in his usual way.
Tsunade just blinked for a few moments, surprised at the sudden request, and more importantly at the change of opinion towards his father. Seeing as just yesterday he viewed him as a heart-less bastard, now he was calling him "Dad"? She smiled and relaxed a little, thinking that she probably had Kakashi to thank for this, what ever he had told him definitely seemed to have done the trick. She nodded and said; "Alright!" and got the file out from her desk, then pulled the photo out from inside it and handed it to him as she graciously said; "Here you go." with a smile.
Naruto smile in return as he took the photo and happily replied; "Thanks again!" and took one last long endearing look at it, before opening his jacket and slit the photo inside his inner pocket as he had done with his mothers photo. After zipping his jacket back up, he turned back to Tsunade and asked; "Now then, you said you had a gift for me that I could only get here, right?" deciding it was time to get down to business. He had an eager smile on his face, wondering what could she have for him that required such secrecy.
Tsunade giggled for a moment at his enthusiasm, leave it to Naruto to get straight to the point. "Yes, that's right. Now I want you to understand, that the nature of this gift is very delicate, as it could raise questions about your identity. So I want you to promise me you wont tell any one how you got it OK? If any one asks, you tell them you got it from a high-profile mission, am I clear?" she asked with a dangerous undertone to emphasize her point.
Naruto raised an eyebrow, and cautiously answered; "Um…OK! Crystal Clear!" and nodded his head. The last time he got a strange gift like this, he found himself naked in a forest in the arms of a beautiful girl. Not that he expected that from Tsunade, Heaven forbid, but he wasn't about to take chances.
Tsunade nodded as well, before she explained; "Good. Now then, you see sometime before your birth, your father, along with Jiraiya and your mother. Decided to put together a trust fund for you, in case something happened to them, and they couldn't take care of you. Up till now, Jiraiya has been the one to maintain the trust fund, putting some money in for you every so often. As I'm sure you are aware by now, that the reason you weren't told of it is because if someone found out about the money, then it wouldn't lead back to you and only to Jiraiya. Seeing as it was made in his name." she paused for a moment, as it seemed Naruto was about to ask something, however, Tsunade beat him to the punch as she continued; "The reason being, as you may or may have not guessed it, is because Jiraiya was asked to be your Godfather." The look of shock on Naruto's face confirmed that he hadn't. Just one more reason to hate the man. 'May he burn under the fury of a thousand suns, for the stunt he pulled yesterday!' she thought with a silent chuckle, before she continued; "However, Jiraiya himself has asked me to give you access to the account, seeing as he believes you are old enough now to know the truth and use it wisely. So with out further a due, I hand the account over to you. And since it seems your going to be stuck in the village for awhile, think of this as a means to keep you afloat, until you are able to do missions again." As she finished, she picked up a check book from on top of her desk and handed it to Naruto.
Naruto was surprised, and excited to say the least. He held the checkbook in his hands carefully, aside from the diary, this was the only thing he had ever gotten from his parents. Their final gift to him. He looked at it with such wonder, before looking back up to Tsunade and said; "Thank you. So how much do you think is in it, the account I mean?"
Tsunade donned an amused smile, as she chuckled and replied: "Open it up, and see for yourself. I think you will be quite surprised…" she gave yet another small chuckle as she finished.
Naruto blinked out of confusion, clearly he was missing out on some practical joke he wasn't yet aware of, but regardless he did as he was told. When he did, his jaw hit the floor and his eyes went as wide as the moon, as he screamed; "HOOOOLY CRAAAP!"
AN: Alright, so here is the new chapter, its a good thing these were premade. It makes this a whole lot faster. Well as always R&R!
