AN: Once again, I back tracked to keep the story in check. Old habits die hard don't they? As before all notes will be at the end of the chapter, also for those who know the story from before, there will be some new content in this chapter as well. Reason being as that there are some things I forgot to do and I wasn't really happy with how the Ino/Sakura thing played out so I want to go into more detail with that. Thank you and Enjoy! (I hope no one minds that I didn't describe Tsunade or Shizune since at the moment they are wearing their usual garb, and in this story they play supporting roles only.)
"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!" he couldn't believe what he was seeing! According to the check book, inside the account was no less then 20 Million Ryo! Nearly a lifetimes worth of S-rank mission payouts, immediately he asked; "Is this for real!?" unbelieving that this was really his. (1.) Tsunade was in tears for how hard she was laughing, his reaction had been worth it. It took her a few moments, but when she finally got a hold of herself she replied; "Yes, it is for real, and it's all yours now. Use it how you see fit, however I ask that you be discrete about it. I would think it to be very difficult to explain to your friends how you came across such a vast fortune so quickly, don't you?" she raised an eyebrow and gave a small smirk with the question. However, the question it self had raised some confusion for him, as Naruto quickly replied; "But wait, why the secrecy? Yesterday at the party you pretty much told everyone I know this was waiting for me here, how can I tell them I didn't get this from you, when everyone knows I was here?" Immediately Tsunade's smile dead-panned, as her face went pale with shock, how could she have forgotten that? 'Damn it! I can't believe I said that out loud, what a fine mess I put myself in! Now what do I tell him?!' She thought, already regretting that bottle of Sake she drank the morning before, true it would take a lot more than that to put her into a stupor but it still affected her judgment all the same. Forced to admit his point, she answered; "Alright fine, if any one asks it was a gift, a late present from Jiraiya. But don't mention anything about your parents! The last thing we need is for someone to stumble onto your family tree." she gave a huff as she finished, already feeling like she needed another drink. (2.) Though Naruto was inclined to agree, he couldn't help but feel slightly confused about that subject, so naturally he asked; "That's another thing I wanted to ask you about, why do we still have to keep it a secret? I'm old enough now to defend myself, besides I don't think anyone from the other villages are going to be stupid enough to try to walk in here and kill me, just because I'm the Forth Hokage's son. What harm would it do to let people know now?" curious to know why it was so important. Tsunade gave a heavy sigh, before leaning toward Naruto and lacing her fingers together in front of her mouth, the usual sign of her getting serious. This was confirmed with the tone in her voice as she replied; "More then you know. Your father and mother's enemies weren't only in other villages, some of which can be found right in our own backyard." Immediately Naruto's eyes widened as he heard this, curious as to what she was implying, he asked; "What do you mean? Are you saying that they had enemies here in the village?" there was a slight panic in his voice. Not that he was actually scared, but knowing there were enemies this close to home, would put anybody on edge. Tsunade nodded as to confirm his suspicions, but vocalized them anyway, as she answered; "Yes Naruto, that's exactly what I am saying…" she paused as she leaned back, trying to seem less imposing as she thought through her explanation, before she continued, "…some of which are very dangerous individuals, which is all the more reason for you to keep you true identity a secret. For now though just relax and enjoy the gift!" she gave plastered smile as she said the last part. In truth she was very worried, with so many enemies baring down on him, she wondered if she could protect him from them all. Naruto eyed her suspiciously, he got the feeling she was side-stepping him, clearly she wasn't telling him the whole story. He could sense a large amount of worry and fear from her, as to why he wasn't sure, but something told him it had to do with him. Not wanting to push the issue, as he felt he was going to find out sooner or later, he turned his attention back to the checkbook in his hands. The amount of money he held in his hand right now was staggering to say the least, with this much he would never go hungry again, hell he could pretty much buy any restaurant in the city! Or any other building for that matter, short of the Hokage and Hyuga mansion of course, however this wasn't what was on his mind. All he could think about was what Tsunade had said, about there being enemies in Konoha, this meant to him that he had to keep his guard up and watch his back at all times. No telling who could be after him at this point, aside from the Akatsuki of course. He looked up to Tsunade one last time as he closed the checkbook. "Alright, oh and tell Pervy Sage I said 'thanks for the gifts' the next time you see him!" he said while he placed the checkbook in his coat pocket. However before Tsunade could reply, a sudden puff of smoke appeared on Tsunade's desk, and as it dissipated in its place was the messenger toad Kosuke! The red and blue toad sat in the middle of Tsunade's desk with his green goggles hanging low on his neck. "Good Day Lady Tsunade!" he said in a cheerful and polite voice, before giving her a bow in respect. (3.) Immediately Naruto shot up from his seat with an excited smile on his face, as he cheerfully said; "Hey Kosuke! Good to see you!" with a chuckle, happy to see the friendly red toad. Upon hearing Naruto's voice, Kosuke quickly turned around to greet the blond boy. "Oh, hello Naruto! Good to see you too!" he replied with a joyous smile, happy to see his friend again. Kosuke and Naruto had met during his training with Jiraiya, when said "Pervy Sage" had shown Naruto how to use Summons to send messages, ever since then they had been good friends. It was right about then that Kosuke noticed the coat, and asked; "Hey nice coat Naruto! Where did you get it?" Naruto just chuckled once more as he turned around and opening the flaps of the coat to give Kosuke a better look he replied; "Pretty cool huh? It was a birthday present I got from my friend Ino-chan! Her, Sakura-chan, Lady Tsunade and everyone I know got together and threw me a Surprise Birthday Party. I got this and a WHOLE bunch of other cool gifts!" He gave one more chuckle as he back around to face him. Tsunade had a slight scowl as she thought, 'He calls me Grandma or Granny to every one else, but calls me Lady Tsunade in front of Kosuke? If I knew it would take this messenger toad to get him to show me some respect I would have had Jiraiya summon him a long time ago!' she gave a slight huff as she decided just to enjoy the moment of reverence from her fellow blond. Kosuke chuckled as well as he said; "Yeah you look great! I'm glad to hear you had such a good time!" with a wide smile. This of course brought Naruto to lace his hands behind his head as he sheepishly chuckled as replied; "Thanks! Yeah it was great!" with one of his brightest smiles. Tsunade smiled happily at the display, grateful to have a distraction for the moment. "Good Day to you Kosuke. So what brings you here?" she asked, wondering why he was sent. When he heard Tsunade call his name, Kosuke quickly turned around as he replied; "Oh Right! Master Jiraiya asked me to tell you that Land of Lighting was a bust, so he's going to search other areas around Land of Fire, and if nothing turns up he's going to check Amegakure …" he paused as he suddenly remembered something else and turned towards Naruto before he continued, "…Oh…and Master Jiraiya also said to tell you 'Happy Birthday Kid!' and he sends his regards." He gave a large smile as he finished, unaware of the events that transpired yesterday. Tsunade's smile hitched into a evil grin, as a vein began popping out from her forehead. 'Oh sure! That snide son-of-a bitch had the nerve to say that when he's 500 miles away! If he was here yesterday he would realize just how "Happy" that birthday really was!' she thought as she clenched her fist, popping three of her knuckles at the same time. If there was a man on the planet that infuriated her more then Jiraiya, aside from Danzou and Orochimaru, she had yet to meet him! However, his mention of Amegakure caught her attention and so she asked; "Why would he need to go to Amegakure?" wondering what Jiraiya's motives were. Once again Kosuke turned around and faced Tsunade, he had expected this question and respectfully replied; "Oh yes, Master Jiraiya also said that he suspects Amegakure to be the main Akatsuki Hideout, but he wanted to check up on a few more leads first." he gave one more bow as he finished giving the message, before he asked; "Well that's all I was told to say, is there any message you might have for him Lady Tsunade?" wondering if there was anything she wanted to say to him in return. However Naruto's expression dropped to a blank stare as he thought; 'Yeah right, more leads my ass! Knowing THAT perverted old man, he was probably out doing more of his "Research"! What a lecher, he completely missed my birthday just to ogle some girls!' he growled quietly as he began thinking of ways to get back at his perverted sensei. However it seemed as if Tsunade would handle that herself, as that evil grin she bore grew even wider, oh boy did she have a message for him! "Tell Jiraiya, that I want him to return to Konoha on his way there, I would like to have a few choice words with him." she gave a sinister chuckle as she said that last part. Oh yes, there would be plenty of words to be had, if he lived long enough to hear them that is! Both Kosuke and Naruto gulped loudly for their soon-to-be dead master. 'Well Pervy Sage, it's been nice knowing you!' Naruto thought, as he gave a rather disturbed chuckle. And while Kosuke also chuckled in the same manner, he thought; 'Is she always this scary?' before he bowed and replied; "Yes ma'am, I will tell him right away Lady Tsunade!" then turned to Naruto and said; "Well, see you later Naruto!" with a smile and a friendly wave. Naruto grinned in kind as he chuckled then replied; "Yeah, see you later Kosuke! OH…and tell Pervy Sage that I said Hi and thanks for the Gifts!" then reached his hand out in a friendly gesture. Kosuke gave a polite nod then replied; "Will do!" and did as Naruto had and gave Naruto an equally friendly handshake, before he turned to Tsunade and gave a salute then said; "Well I'm off!" To which Tsunade nodded and then Kosuke disappeared in the same fashion that he had arrived. With his friend gone, Naruto thought that it was time to make his exit as well and so he said; "Well, thanks for everything, but I better get going as well." and stood up to leave. Tsunade was surprised at his sudden urge to leave, and so she asked; "Huh? Where are you off to in such a hurry?" reminding him that he wasn't dismissed yet. Naruto webbed his fingers together behind his head and grinned as he replied; "Well for starters, I need to go home and get some grub, I was in such a rush to get here I forgot to eat before I left. Plus I need to grab my other Kunai pouch that Tenten gave me, which I left back at the house, before I head over to the Training Area. Konohamaru and his team just got back, and I promised I would so off some of my new gear to them!" he chuckled with excitement, as he was eager to get back to training. Tsunade just laughed and shook her head as she thought, 'Some things never change, no matter how much he grows.' she gave a wide grin as she looked back towards him and said; "Very well, you're dismissed. See you later Naruto!" giving him permission to leave. Naruto chuckled as well, but for more devious reasons, as he turned around and replied; "See you later, Old Lady!" then bolted for the door before she could do anything. Tsunade's smile dropped outright and turned demonic at the mention of his old nickname for her when they first met, as she rose from her seat as she screamed; "WHY YOU LITTLE…!" and grabbed the first thing she could reach, which unfortunately for her was one of her favorite brand of Sake bottles and threw it at him! The bottle in question, however, only narrowly missed Naruto and crashed into the door as he closed it behind him. Laughing like a lunatic the whole way out of the building. Tsunade was quick to run towards the door and opened it up, then ran after him! Both of them passed Shizune in the hall, with Naruto still laughing as he did so, as Tsunade yelled; "…GET BACK HERE!" as she chased him. Leaving a poor unsuspecting Shizune, looking stunned and confused in the hall as she said; "Huh?" as they went by, unsure of what was going on.Meanwhile, across town Konohamaru had been stalking Ebisu for the last two hours, waiting for the moment to strike! It was now 10:33 on the dot, Udon and Moegi were up in a tree waiting for Konohamaru's signal, while Konohamaru himself was down below waiting for Ebisu to approach. The trap was set, all they needed to do was catch Ebisu alone, then the plan would be executed. Konohamaru himself would be the bait, now all that was left was the prey. Ebisu was walking down to the Hot Springs as usual. He always had an after mission routine, first a hot meal at Yakiniku Q, then on to the Konoha Hot Springs for a warm bath. Though in truth, this was merely to spy on the woman's bath, being the "closet pervert" that he was. "Ah what a wonderful day this is, it's so good to be back home!" he said as he walked through the streets, unaware of what was about to become of him.
Konohamaru was watching him closely, snickering, as he silently said; "This is going to be great!" and then flew through a few hand signs and whispered; "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" followed by; "Sexy: Girl on Girl Jutsu!" transforming himself and his newly created clone into two stunningly beautiful women! The first woman (Konohamaru) was a curvaceous pale fair-skin girl, with long Raven jet-black hair, deep emerald grin eyes with Crimson lipstick covering a pair of full luscious lips. She was dressed in a Long slit-skirted form-fitting black dress, with a tiny waist, not to mention a top that barely covered her size 36 D-cup breasts, along with a pair of red open-toe sandals (Like Tsunade's) with matching nail polish on her toes and fingers. The second woman (The Clone) was slightly darker but equally fair skinned and just as curvaceous, with shoulder length golden blond hair, that had two small bangs just over her creamy milk-chocolate brown eyes, with Aurora Pink Lipstick covering slightly thinner but still very provocative lips. Unlike her Raven Haired counterpart, she wore a bright red two piece dress, with a tight knee length skirt and string tied top with an open bust that showed nearly every inch of her 38 D-cup breasts, she was also wearing stockings and a pair of Pink sandals just like the ones 'her' counter part was wearing. True to form, she was wearing Pink nail polish on her fingers and toes. Up in the tree, Moegi slapped her forehead, as she sarcastically asked; "Did he really have to use THAT jutsu?" with a scowl on her face. Udon was the first to reprimand her, as he raised a finger to his lips and did a "shush" sound, and whispered; "Quiet, we don't want Ebisu-sensei to hear us!" warning her not to spoil the prank. Though normally they didn't want any thing to do with Konohamaru's pranks, in this case they too wanted payback for missing Naruto's party. So naturally they were quick to agree to helping him. Both the Clone and Konohamaru looked at each other, admiring their respective handy work, as they gave a sexy yet devious grin to each other and wrapped their arms behind each others backs. They looked towards the street, and there was their pray, completely oblivious as he passed them. When he did, the Raven Haired beauty called out; "Hey handsome!" in a sexy and alluring voice. Both Moegi and Udon looked at each other in surprise, clearly Konohamaru had been practicing! Down below, Ebisu stopped mid-step, and looked toward the direction the voice came from. When he did, his jaw dropped and drooled as his eyes nearly popped out of his head, if not for his shades which now hanged low on his face they probably would have. There before him stood two of the most beautiful women he had ever seen! Both of which winked at him, as the Blond haired "girl" said in a sultry and seductive tone; "Nice shades!" both of which giggled in unison at his expression. (4.) Ebisu nervously chuckled, as he replied; "Uh, t-thank you!" before he quickly schooled his features, and pushed his shades back to their original place. Trying to look professional as always. Both girls giggled once more, but for reasons other then the obvious, as Konohamaru thought; 'This is almost TOO easy!' and chuckled inwardly to himself. On the surface, the girls were smiling provocatively, flashing their perfect pearl white teeth as they did so, just enough to add to the illusion as the Raven Haired "girl" asked; "You want to come with us?" as she leaned her head against the other "girls" shoulder in a teasing manner, while she slid a finger down her counter parts side. Whom of which quickly followed up with; "We'll show you a really good time!" and giggled lightly at the finger going down her side, which only seemed to add to the seductive value somehow. Ebisu's face turned red as a Cherry, as his nose began bleeding from his arousal, before he began stammering as he said; "Uh…w-well, I-I-I would love to, b-but I have s-students I n-need to l-look after. S-so if you w-will excuse…" however before he could protest any further, both "girls" walked over to him and laced their arms around his, leaning very close to him, allowing their breasts to press against his arms, which caused Ebisu to gulp loudly. Both "girls" gave another seductive grin and a giggle, as the Raven Haired "girl" playfully whined; "Awww, come on…" as she leaned further into the Special Jonin's arm, letting him feel more of "her" bust. The Blond followed suit, as she rose to bring "her" lips to Ebisu's ear and whispered; "…It will be fun!" in an equally playful, yet lascivious manner as if to finish the Raven Haired "girl's" complaint. At this point steam could almost be seen coming out of Ebisu's nose, along with two rivers of blood, as he sheepishly chuckled. Being the Closet Pervert that he was, how could he refuse such an offer? So naturally he wrapped his arms around both of the "ladies' " backs, and lecherously replied; "Well…if you ladies insist!" and they began walking him down the ally where Udon and Moegi were waiting. Giggling the whole way as they walked, which Ebisu joined in, clueless to what was about to happen! Both Udon and Moegi gawked at the sight, they couldn't believe their sensei was so simple, to actually fall for such a ploy so easily! Hell, even the most basic of Ninjas could tell the difference between a Transformation Jutsu, and the real deal! The fact that a Special Jonin like him didn't even notice, was a sad sight to behold. Either Konohamaru was one HELL of an actor, or Ebisu-sensei was just that stupid! Down below, the two Konohamaru's lured Ebisu closer to the trap, and when they finally arrived at the target zone Konohamaru and the clone looked at each other and gave a nod. Then without warning they leaped away from Ebisu, with the real Konohamaru yelling; "NOW!" in his female voice, making sure they were at a safe distance away. Ebisu only had time to say; "Huh?" and before he could react both Udon and Moegi jumped down from the tree. Each holding on tightly to an end of a Ninja wire, which snapped closed over Ebisu in a Net, which was hidden below him by a stone-road painted sheet used for a Cloak of Invisibility Jutsu. As he was hoisted a few feet into the air, Ebisu shouted; "Udon…Moegi! What is the meaning of…" how ever before he could finish both of the "girls' came at him from both sides and slammed their fist into either side of his head, knocking him out cold before he knew what hit him! Immediately afterwards Konohamaru dropped both of the Jutsus and began laughing as he said; "Serves you right!" then turned to Moegi and Udon who looked on in amazement. "I can't believe that worked!" said Udon, amazed that Ebisu-sensei fell for it. Moegi nodded in agreement as she replied; "Yeah, me either!" referring to the fact that Konohamaru's plans never usually go so smoothly. Konohamaru glared at both of them, as he growled and said; "Come on guys! Have a little faith in me will yah? I did learn from the best you know! But I have to admit I'm glad Naruto taught me how to set that Cloak of Invisibility properly, or this would NEVER have worked!" he chuckled at that last part, as he began scratching the back of his head and grinning in a Naruto like fashion. Proving once again who his inspiration had been. Both Udon and Moegi nodded, not arguing the statement as it was more then likely true, but it was Moegi who asked; "So now what do we do with him?" wondering what the next phase of the plan was. Konohamaru had to think about that, seeing as even he didn't think they would get this far, however after hearing the girls from the Women's Bath giggling, he grew a sadistic grin as he replied; "Leave it to me, I got an idea!" and gave an evil chuckle as he got a twisted glint in his eye. Suddenly Both Udon and Moegi felt REALLY bad for Ebisu-sensei… (Ten Minutes Later) Ebisu groaned as he began to wake up, his head was pounding from the massive headache he received from the two "girls" combined attack. He began rubbing the top of his head and along both sides of his face, however he froze as he began to recognize his surroundings, as over top of him stood many furious women some of which were Kunoichi! All dressed in bath towels and robes of the like, holding various items like Sandals and Clubs, while others were just popping their knuckles left and right looking as if they were ready to kill some one. Realizing he was in the middle of the floor of the Women's dressing room, he began to chuckle and tried to smooth things over, as he said; "Um…uh H-hello ladies!" but this only seemed to make them madder. At first he began to wonder what could have upset them so much, however one of the women in question answered that for him as she asked; "So…you like to peep on women huh?/!" as she popped the muscles in her neck. At first Ebisu was confused at the question, however he noticed they were looking at something on him, and so he looked down and his eyes went wide with shock and fear. Around his neck was a Sign that read "Peeping Tom! " in Kanji with an arrow pointing to him! In a panic, he grabbed the Sign and tried to remove it, as he did however he noticed there was something else written on the back of it! It was a message written in Kanji that read: "This is punishment for making us miss Naruto's Birthday Party, and for being a Pervert! Signed, K.U.M.!" (Konohamaru, Udon and Moegi!) Ebisu blinked a few times, confused as he asked; "Birthday Party? For Naruto?" however his attention was brought back to the group of women who looked like a pack of lionesses moving in for the kill! Quickly he tried to defuse the situation as he pleaded; "Wait, please ladies, I can explain…Really!" however they wouldn't hear it as they grew closer, forcing Ebisu to back up to the wall behind him. He tried to reach for something to defend himself with, however he made a startling discovery! All his weapons were gone, along with his vest and headband as well as his shades, leaving him completely helpless against the siege of angry women baring down on him! That was when he noticed the worst of them all, Anko Mitarashi, fellow Jonin and resident psycho of Konoha! Who aside from Lady Tsunade, was easily the scariest woman alive, and the most ruthless, bloodthirsty Kunoichi to walk the face of the planet! Upon seeing her, he gulped, as he knew he was doomed! She was dressed in the same fashion as the other ladies, if a little more revealing, as she made no attempted to hide the tops of her breasts and only covering her nipples. She began twirling a Kunai on her finger, as she said with a sinister tone; "Well well…Look what we got here! You came to the wrong bath house bub…" all the while wearing an innocent, yet sadistic looking smile. Again Ebisu sheepishly chuckled, as he replied; "Um…hello Anko." and gulped once more. The moment Anko stopped twirling the Kunai, one of the other girls yelled; "GET HIM!" as if it had been the signal they were waiting for and began rushing him! Immediately Ebisu tried to run for his life, barely getting to the door, before they pulled him back and he began screaming and begging for Mercy as they were beating him senseless! The whole while this was going down, Konohamaru, Udon and Moegi were laughing their asses off! Vengeance was a dish best served cold, and this was as cold as it got! As they continued to laugh, Udon said; "That was Awesome!" while he struggled to breath. Moegi followed suit as she replied; "Poor Ebisu-sensei!" all the while she continued laughing. Konohamaru who was rolling over from how hard he was laughing, finally caught his breath, then said; "Yeah that was great! Ha-Ha-Ha! Come on, the boss is probably waiting for us by now!" as he got up and began running toward the Training Field that Naruto had told them about. Udon and Moegi nodded in unison, and soon followed behind him, leaving their sensei to his ill gotten fate.(Twenty Minutes Ago)
Back across town, Naruto narrowly escaped Tsunade, having lost her in the shopping district. Tsunade had long given up on chasing Naruto, being the master trickster he was he summoned at least 30 clones, and scattered them though out Konoha making it impossible to find him! When ever she chased one down, he would only go "POOF!" and disperse when she clobbered it, figuring Naruto was long gone she decided to quit and get herself a tall drink. Naruto himself was already well on his way home, when he arrived he chuckled to himself, proud that he had out foxed a Sannin and the Hokage no less! Of course he knew he would probably pay for it later, but it was worth the laugh it brought. He stretched out from all the running he did, and went to the kitchen. Deciding it was best to just eat the leftovers from last night, rather then waste his Tickets from Choji, he grabbed one of the pots of leftover Ramen that Teuchi had given him and heated it up on his stove. When it was ready, he grabbed a bowl and poured it in. He found it to be a sort of luxury to have his favorite Ramen right at home, he would have to thank Teuchi and Ayame when he next visited them. Once he was at the table, he took a big whiff of the aroma from the broth, his eyes fluttering to the back of his head as he did so then licked his lips and began to chow down! When he was finished, and had two or three more helpings he took out the check book in his pocket, and stared at it for a few moments as he wondered what he was going to do with the money. Up until now, having lived on his payroll as a Ninja for so long, he never had cash to spare at the end of the month. He was so use to scrimping and saving every Yen he could find, that having this much money to his name was overwhelming, and that was putting it mildly! Sure doing all those A rank missions had earned him a pretty vast amount, but even that was gone before he knew it, and he would have to do more missions as time went by. Now however, he wasn't sure what to do, as the missions no longer held any value besides personal ones. Thinking back, he remembered how eager he was to get his first real Ninja mission, how excited he was to finally do something to prove his worth, now the only reason he would have to do a mission was because he was bored! He loved being a Ninja, it was all he ever dreamed of becoming since he was a kid, and someday even Hokage. Before it was never about the money, but the chance to make something of himself, to show that he was more than just the beast that laid inside him. But before long, being a Ninja was more of a necessity then a desire, as it helped pay his ever expanding bills. Thinking it was best not to dwell on such things, he put the check book down on the table for a moment, and pulled out the scroll from his pocket. He could worry about money problems later. Opening it up, he went to the section where he stored his Nursery Diary, and unsealed it. He closed the scroll and slid it back into his pocket, and opened up the diary once more, he wasn't sure what he was looking for only that he felt that he needed to read it for a moment. In a way he was still searching for who his parents use to be, to get an idea of what they were like, seeing as he only knew about them from their service records and reputations. He went to the pages where Kakashi had cut him off from the night before, and began reading anew, it never failed to amuse him how they went back and forth as they did in the diary, the silly little arguments they would get into, like whether he was going to be a boy or a girl and what name they would give him, but all the while he could sense how much they loved each other. And in turn, how much they loved him. He then unzipped his coat and pulled out the picture of his Dad, and gazed at it for a few moments. How he wished he could have gotten to know him, to learn all the things he could have taught him, to have heard his voice even one time in his life. He thought for a moment how cool it would be to have been raised by a Kage, the things they would have done while he was growing up, to have a mother who loved and cherished him and held him tight when ever she could. The kind of family they would have been. 'It's not fair! Why? Why did all this have to happen? Why did they have to die!?' he thought as new tears spilled from his eyes, feeling that he had been denied something so precious. He closed his eyes sharply as he wiped the tears away, when he opened them he could feel a new wave of anger pass over him, determined to get some answers he closed his eyes flung himself into the seal where the Kyuubi lay in wait.When he opened then again, he was inside the seal which resembled a sewer or a boiler room, with a huge cage where the Boiler would be. On the cage door, there was a single piece of paper with the word "SEAL" written on it in Kanji. Upon entering he heard a loud booming voice, a voice he knew all too well, and at the very moment one that he absolutely despised! "WELCOME CHILD! WHAT BRINGS YOU TODAY?" said the Fox, his face appearing behind the steel cage door, with grinning razor sharp fangs, and burning red slitted eyes. The very visage of the Kyuubi, drew from Naruto an anger the likes he had never felt before, even deeper then his hatred for Orochimaru or even Sasuke himself! The Fox sensed this anger, this unrelenting hatred, and asked; "HMM? WHAT IS THIS RAGE, THIS MALICE? TELL ME CHILD, WHAT HAS BROUGHT ABOUT THIS HOSTILITY TOWARDS ME? WHY DO YOU LOOK AT ME WITH SUCH BLOOD LUST IN YOUR EYES?" as The Fox narrowed his eyes. (5.)
Though Naruto hated to admit it, The Kyuubi was right, at this moment he wanted nothing to do with the beast. But he needed know, he needed to know why the Kyuubi did what it did, he needed to know the truth. "CAN IT FOX! I need answers, and you're the only one who's got them, so start talking! Why, why did you attack the village 16 years ago? How did you get free? WHY DID YOU KILL MY MOTHER AND FATHER!?" he screamed, as he took a defensive stance. At the last question, they Kyuubi's eyes shot fully open, surprised at the sudden accusation. However his expression relaxed, as he began to laugh, realizing what Naruto had meant. "I SEE… SO YOU ARE THEIR SON ARE YOU? WELL THAT EXPLAINS IT, I WONDERED WHY YOU LOOKED LIKE MINATO NAMIKAZE, AND NOW I KNOW WHY! WELL THEN, IF YOU SEEK ANSWERS YOU SHALL HAVE THEM, BUT BE WARNED YOU MAY NOT LIKE WHAT YOU HEAR! AS FOR YOUR PARENTS, I WAS A PRISONER INSIDE YOUR MOTHER FOR MANY YEARS, WHY WOULD I WANT TO GO BACK TO THAT HELL AFTER ONLY JUST GETTING OUT? AS TO WHY I ATTACKED THE VILLAGE, IT WAS AGAINST MY WILL, BUT REST ASSURED I WOULD HAVE DONE IT ANYWAY, IF ONLY OUT OF MY CONTEMPT FOR YOUR RETCHED KIND! AS TO HOW I GOT FREE, IN TRUTH I DID NOT BREAK FREE, I WAS LET OUT…" said The Fox, as it narrowed his eyes once more, watching Naruto closely as he explained his actions from 16 years ago. (6.) The first answer didn't quell Naruto's rage like he thought it would, in fact it only infuriated him more, and the second one wasn't much better. However, the third one struck him as odd, so letting his curiosity getting the better of him he asked in a demanding tone; "BY WHO?" taking a few steps closer as he did. Once again The Kyuubi just laughed, amused at Naruto's attempt at being commanding, before he replied; "I NEED NOT ANSWER, YOU HAVE ALREADY MET HIM…" giving a deep evil chuckle afterwards. Naruto's eyes went wide with shock! As well as confusion, as asked; "W-WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!" wondering who the Kyuubi could be referring to. The Fox laughed once more, he was enjoying this, enjoyed rattling Naruto's cage. He figured if he could rattle the boy enough, maybe he could break free. With that in mind he answered; "YOU WILL FIND OUT…SOON ENOUGH!" and with that disappeared back into the cage. Realizing the Kyuubi was retreating into the seal, Naruto cried out; "WAIT!" and started to run towards the gate. However, it seemed the Kyuubi would not answer further, as all he got in return was silence. Even Naruto wasn't stupid enough to chase after the Kyuubi, not after every thing that has happened. Believing any further efforts would only be in vein, Naruto decided to leave the seal.When Naruto opened his eyes, he found he was still in his kitchen, still in control. However, he felt empty, hollow even. Though he had gotten the answers he sought, they had only led to more questions, who was it that let the Kyuubi free from his mothers seal? How did Naruto know him? And what did the Kyuubi mean when he said that he attacked the village against his will? The more he unraveled this mystery, the deeper and darker it seemed to get. Feeling it was pointless to continue any further, he decided to put it on hold, and keep to his original schedule. There would be plenty of time for mysteries another day, but right now Konohamaru and the others were waiting for him. He closed the diary, grabbing the checkbook as he did so then put said checkbook in his pocket and took the diary to his room, placing it in one of his drawers for safe keeping. Better to keep this out of sight, lest Sakura or someone else finds it. Grabbing his Kunai pouch that he had left behind before, he strapped it around his left leg as he did before, then set his father's picture next to his mother's. He gave a regretful sigh as he placed a hand between them, and whispered; "Mom, Dad, I love you." then removed his hand and was on his way.
Before going to the Training Area as planned, he decided to stop by Tenten's family weapon shop which was named "Heavenly Blade" in Kanji, to see if she was home. In side was her father, Tenma, working on a new weapon. The shop it self was a large 1 story complex, with the business and forge in front, and the house in the back with a doorway separating them. The forge itself was small, with a furnace, anvil, grindstone and cooling station. All of which was placed off to the right side of the complex, facing the exit, with the furnace a few feet from the wall in a corner near the back. On the left hand side, opposite of the forge was the door to the House, with a counter that stood about ten feet from the door and cash register on it. In the middle of the shop were rows of tables, all lined with durable cloth, which had various types of one handed weapons. Ranging from Kunai, Tantos, and other such tools. Along the walks were racks of two handed weapons, from Maces to Katanas, to Spears and various other weapons of the sort. However, the best stuff were all locked in cases, which were lined up along the walls. The reason being that they were locked up, was because they were created using special seals, which allowed the manipulation of chakra and such things. Naruto smiled as he entered the room and saw Tenten's dad working. "Hey Tenma-san!" he said with a cheerful smile as he walked up to the counter.
Tenma looked over to the boy who called his name and smiled as he replied in a deep but subtle voice; "Oh! Hello Naruto, what can I do for you today?" as he put down his hammer and the hot steel he was forging. He moved over to where said boy was standing and put on a friendly smile. Tenma stood about half a foot taller than Naruto, and weighed close to 210 lbs. most of which was muscle that was fluid yet conditioned and firm. He had Dark Brown slightly-tall spiky hair which was currently done up in a white-cloth cap, Dark Colored eyes and a chiseled jaw with a small beard that formed around the mouth and chin. He was dressed in a light blue short sleeve shirt, a pair of black loose-fitting Shaolin style pants, and a heavy brown apron. He was about 35-36 years old, and a kindhearted fellow, he was one of the few people who got along with Naruto at his age. Naruto shook his head, as he replied; "Actually I'm looking for Tenten, is she home?" as he looked to the door behind him. At first Tenma looked surprised at the request, then answered; "Yeah she's home, why do you ask? You're not planning on asking her out are you?" he had a teasing smile on his face when he said that. He loved playing this game with Naruto! As usual Naruto's eyes went wide ad the sudden question, as he raised his hands defensively and said; "No-No it's nothing like that! I just need her help with something is all!" as he shook his head violently to further his point. He fell for it every time. Naruto had been coming here frequently after he graduated the Academy to have his Kunai and Shuriken sharpened, ever since then he and Tenma had been friends, though Tenma had no idea who Naruto really was. To him, Naruto was just a valued customer and friend, the only reason he couldn't show up for Naruto's party was because of a large work order he had to fill. Tenma gave a deep and heartfelt laugh, if there was a more gullible person in the world then Naruto, he would love to meet them. One of the many things they shared in common was their love of pranks and jokes. This one was no different. "Relax Naruto, I was just teasing!' he said, mindful to take off the cloth cap he wore, which was usually worn for business and work. "So how are those new Kunai working out for you?" he asked in a more business like tone. Naruto growled lightly and glared at Tenma for the joke, for a master prankster, he sure got pranked a lot when he came over here. However, when Tenma asked about the Kunai, he excitedly replied; "OH yeah, they're Awesome! Thanks for giving them to me by the way, but I got to tell you I'm a little hesitant to use them, these things are pretty nasty compared to the old ones." referring to the amount of damage the Kunai Tenten gave him could do. Tenma of course only chuckled at the notion as he stated; "Well, being a Ninja isn't exactly a clean job now is it? I would think by now you would have no problems taking down an enemy, especially if one of your teammates is in danger. These Kunai were designed to get past enemy armor, and make sure they could be found should they happen to get away. Remember that, it might save your life someday." with a smirk, knowing that Naruto would more then likely need them eventually. "Now what do you need Tenten to help you with?" he asked, curious as to the reason Naruto was here. Naruto hated to admit it, but Tenma was right, in his line of work the enemy could do just that and so much worse. Better to have the advantage in such times like what Tenma described. Accepting his words of wisdom, Naruto nodded in agreement, and then happily answered; "Well, I got a new weapon yesterday that I haven't really used before, so being the weapon expert she is, I was hoping that Tenten could teach me how to best use them." with a bright smile on his face. This had caught Tenma's attention, and so he asked; "Them…? May I see?" holding his hand out to view the items. Naruto nodded happily and said; "Sure!" then fished out the scroll and laid it on the counter, then opened it to the section where his Tiger Claws were in and unsealed them. The gauntlets appeared quickly and landed on the scroll with a thud. Tenma smiled, as he picked up one of the gauntlets and studied it, then said; "OH yes I remember these! Guy-sensei came in yesterday and bought them from me, after he asked that I put a special brand on them, so that was what he was up to huh? I almost thought for sure he was giving them to Lee, but then again seeing as Lee doesn't use weapons I thought it kind of strange. Though I couldn't figure out why he asked for that 'Tiger' brand I gave them." and put the gauntlet down and looked back to Naruto. This surprised Naruto, as he was unaware of where Guy-sensei got them from, so naturally he asked; "So Super-Bushy Brow-sensei got them here? Cool! It's like you gave me 2 gifts!" then shared a laugh with the blacksmith before he said; "Well, Super Bushy Brow-sensei said that he and Kakashi-sensei thought I resembled a Tiger because of how I fight and such, and so he got me these because he thought they best suited me! Then he went on to starting to call me the 'Tiger of the Leaf' as he put it. Pretty cool huh?!" grinning ear to ear as he told him about his new title. Tenma laughed, not at the title, but how energetic Naruto was about it. Giving a grin of his own he said; "Tiger of the Leaf huh? Well in that case, I just might have to see what he was talking about some time! Anyway, Tenten is in the back, she should be finishing up cleaning her room by now. Why don't you go on in and see if she will help." giving Naruto permission to enter his home. Naruto chuckled as he nodded and said; "Sure, any time! Thanks, well see you later!" and sealed the gauntlets back into the scroll then closed it, and put it back in his pocket. Then proceeded into the house. As he passed, Tenma said; "See you later, and take care Naruto!" as Naruto closed the door.The door that Naruto passed through lead straight into the kitchen. Where Tenten's mother, Tenshi, was cleaning the dishes. Inside the house was no different from any other, the kitchens layout was almost like his, except their kitchen had Ivory white walls instead of Wood colored panels. (7.) Upon his entry, Tenshi turned to greet their visitor, and smiled as she said; "Why, hello Naruto! How you today?" in a soft sweet voice, worthy of her name. (8.)
Naruto turned to Tenshi and said politely; "Hello, Tenshi-sama!" and bowed respectively. Just from looking at her, it was easy to tell where Tenten got her looks from, as Tenshi was the spiting image of her! She was 33-34 years old and had long brown hair that went down to the middle of her back, but unlike Tenten she kept it down, with brown eyes and light fair-skin that was flawless by any means! She stood about the same height as her daughter, which was about 2-3 inches shorter then Naruto, and had the same build if a little bigger bust then Tenten. She too wore the same style of clothes, in this case a red form-fitting Chinese style blouse with short sleeves and bright pink Azalia designs all over it, and a pair of Blue Tabi pants which were loose yet equally revealing. 'Wow, she sure is beautiful! Tenten is lucky to have a mother like her.' he thought, wishing he had gotten to know his own mother. "I'm fine, is Tenten around?" he asked wondering where to find the girl in question. Tenshi nodded, and replied; "Yes she is, would you like me to fetch her for you?" as she bowed in return. Naruto nodded as well as he answered; "That would be great, thank you!" with a wide grin. Tenshi giggled at his expression, it always amused her that Naruto was such a ball of energy, and his smile was infectious. "Your welcome…" she paused as she turned towards the living quarters and yelled; "…TENTEN!" he soft and gentle voice echoed through the house, it amazed Naruto at how far her voice carried. Tenten was in her room relaxing, she loved having time to herself, especially when she had to deal with Lee and Guy-sensei all the time. But she could hardly rest, as all her thoughts were consumed by the handsome Hyuga she had come to love, every now and then she would sigh dreamily. Thinking of what it would be like to kiss him, she had noticed his reaction to her comment towards Naruto and his outfit, which gave her hope that the Jonin in question felt the same for her. She had to remember to thank Naruto, even if it was meant as a prank, his little stunt had open her eyes to the fact that maybe…just maybe Neji liked her as well. It was at that moment, that she heard her mothers voice and her eyes shot open, and cried out; "YES MOM?" and sat up. Back in the kitchen, Tenten's voice could be heard just as clearly, to which Tenshi replied; "COME TO THE KITCHEN, YOU HAVE A GUEST!" announcing Naruto's arrival. Tenten gave an annoyed growl, then replied; "BE RIGHT THERE!" then got out of bed. She had striped down to just her panties, to make her feel more comfortable, since she hadn't had any plans for the day. Though Tenten was something of a flirt, she was about as pure as fresh snow when it came to anything sexual, hell she hadn't even kissed a boy yet! But… oh how she wanted too, the problem being she was even worse then Hinata when it came to asking Neji out! Though she didn't stutter as the Hyuga princess had when she was in front of Naruto, she still got chills, shakes and butterflies in her stomach all the same. Needless to say, it made things very awkward when she worked up the nerve to try, and it didn't help that up to this point at every turn Lee and Guy-sensei always interfered in some way or another. She threw on her bra, a pair of pants and her shirt, then went out to greet the guest. Back in the kitchen Tenshi turned back to Naruto and asked; "Would you like something to drink?" with a gentle smile, wondering if there was any thing she could get him. Naruto shook his head lightly as he replied; "No, but thanks any way." with a respectful bow. Tenshi just giggled once more, then said; "Well, just tell me if you change your mind. Go ahead, make yourself at home while you wait." then went back to tending the dishes. Naruto nodded once more and replied; "OK, thank you." then as down at the table and continued to wait for Tenten. It wasn't long before said Kunoichi was out and in the kitchen, when she got there she looked at Naruto rather surprised, as she said; "Oh hey Naruto! What's up, did you need something?" wondering what could be on his mind. When Tenten arrived, Naruto rose from his seat and greeted the Kunoichi with a smile, as he replied; "Hey Tenten, Um…did I catch you at a bad time?" referring to the fact that she wasn't even wearing her Hitai-ate, much less her ninja gear. At first Tenten looked confused at the strange question, then looked towards her attire, and blushed lightly as she sheepishly grinned and said. "Oh! Not really, I usually just relax after missions, so I thought I would take a day off. Why is something on your mind?" wondering what was the reason for the sudden visit. At first Naruto looked disappointed, mainly cause he didn't want to ruin Tenten's day, but he figured that he come all this way he may as well ask. "Well, it's about the Tiger Gauntlets that Guy-sensei got me. You see, I don't really have any training with those types of weapons, and I was wondering if you can teach me how to fight with them?" he asked, getting to the point of the conversation. At the mention of getting to try a new weapon, and even help train her friend on how to use them, Tenten's eyes lit up like stars and an excited smile crossed her lips as she replied; "OH SURE! No problem, just give a few minutes to get my gear…" and started to run back to her room. However, Naruto stopped her before she could reach it, as he called out; "Uh…Actually, Konohamaru and them are waiting on me at Training Ground 15, so just meet us there when you get done ok?" he gave a friendly smile as he explained his need to leave. Tenten nodded in understanding as she replied; "Oh, OK! I'll see you then!" then ran off to her room to get her ninja gear. Naruto called back; "OK, see you!" then turned to Tenshi and bowed as he said, "Thank you for your hospitality!" wearing his usual grin as he did so. Tenshi just smiled in return, and replied; "Your welcome Naruto, come back again soon ok?" with a slight giggle at the end of the question. Naruto nodded happily and said; "I will! See you later!" and with that he was out of the house and on his way over to the Training Area.Over at Training Area 15, Konohamaru, Udon and Moegi had already arrived and were waiting patiently for Naruto to show up. Training Area 15 was a wide open meadow, about half the size of Training Area 29, with very few trees surrounding it. In the middle of the meadow were some target dummies and some Taijutsu steaks, on the left side of the meadow there was a small stream that was a run off of the Naka river, where the ninja practiced the Water Walking Jutsu. (9.) Konohamaru and Moegi were getting bored, so they decided to do some Taijutsu practice, namely sparing. Both of them stood at the ready, Konohamaru had a wide confident grin on his face, as he waited for Moegi to attack. Moegi also bore the same grin, and a slight blush at how excited she was, she loved these little bouts with Konohamaru. Because much like Naruto, Konohamaru was just as sneaky, just as unpredictable.
Realizing Moegi wasn't going to make the first move, Konohamaru decided to start things off, and charged in with a hard right hook, which Moegi ducked at the last second. However, Konohamaru had anticipated this and followed up with a Spinning Roundhouse Lunge Kick toward Moegi's face! Moegi barely had time to lean back and dodge the kick, then cart wheeled back a few feet to a safe distance, before leaping into the air and coming down on Konohamaru with a fierce punch! Naturally Konohamaru leaped to the left, just in time to flee the oncoming attack, as Moegi slammed her fist into the ground causing a massive crater similar to Sakura and Tsunade's attack. Thought was not as large as the ones made by the two medical Ninjas, it was still an impressive sight never the less! Especially for an 12 Year old! Konohamaru's jaw dropped as he witnessed this, and said; "Jeez what are you trying to do, kill me!?" as he tried to catch his breath, one second too late and he would have been flattened like a pancake! As she stood up, Moegi turned to her secret crush, and said; "Sorry!" as she smiled and giggled innocently before she charged in head on. Realizing this may get ugly, Konohamaru made at least 10 Shadow Clones, and scattered them to keep himself hidden. One by one the clones engaged Moegi, and were dispatched as quickly as they were created, as Moegi defeated each of them with a single punch! Until there were only 3 Konohamaru's left, seeing that this was a losing fight, Konohamaru knew he had to act fast. So he and the remaining clones, banded together and charged her with all they had! However, as the battle was about to come to a close, Udon called out to them, as he said; "Hey Guys! The boss is here!" just as Naruto was running up the pathway. Both Moegi and Konohamaru stopped dead in there tracks, and turned towards their fellow Genin. Konohamaru gave a silent sigh of relief and dropped the Jutsu, any longer and he wasn't sure what was going to happen! Immediately the both of them ran over towards Naruto, when they reached him Konohamaru glared, and he snapped; "WELL IT'S ABOUT TIME! Jeez, what took you so long? We were getting bored out of our minds here!" though in truth he was thinking 'Man talk about being saved by the bell! Any later Naruto and I would be taking a dirt nap!' grateful that his friend and mentor showed up when he did. Naturally Moegi was the first to back him up, as she said; "Yeah, what kept you?" looking slightly miffed that Naruto would have them waiting all this time. But it was Udon who corrected them, as he replied; "I don't know guys, it looked like you were having fun to me." as he was pointing towards the crater that Moegi had made. Looking at the damage the two of them inflicted on the Training Area, Naruto chuckled as he said; "Yeah, I'll say! If I didn't know any better I would swear a wrecking crew went through here!" giving yet another chuckle. Both Konohamaru and Moegi looked back at the crater and then towards each other, then broke out in a light blush before they turned back to Naruto and Konohamaru said; "Well I did say we got bored!" and gave a sheepish chuckle of his own. Naruto laughed at the display, it was almost cute how close the two of them seemed. When he stopped, he grinned sheepishly as he said; "Yeah, sorry guys! I didn't eat earlier so I had to get some food, so I went back to my house to get some Ramen and grab my New Kunai set from my house. Then I had to ask Tenten for a favor, so I ran a little later then I expected." explaining why he was running so far behind. This of course caught Konohamaru's attention, and so he asked; "Hmm? Why did you have to ask Tenten a favor?" curious as to what Naruto was up to. The question surprised Naruto, so he started scratching the back of his head as he did when he was embarrassed, and answered; "Well, the Tiger Gauntlets are still somewhat new to me, so I don't have a lot of training with them. In fact I have next to none, so I asked Tenten to see if she could help train me with them." then dropped his hand to his side as he finished. It was Moegi's turn to be curious as she asked; "So wait, you have weapons you don't know how to use? How are you going to fight with them?" Naruto just chuckled as he replied; "Well that's the whole reason I'm here, to learn how!" then reached into his pockets and pulled out the scroll, after which he opened it up to where the Tiger Gauntlets were stored and unsealed them once more. While he was at it, he also unsealed the box of Paper Bombs, and set it down next to him. However, this had caught the three Genin's attentions, so Konohamaru asked; "Hey what's that?" wondering what was inside the box. As Naruto was closing the scroll, he looked down onto the box where Konohamaru was pointing, and said; "Oh that? That's something Iruka-sensei gave me, it's a box of Paper Bombs, but don't worry they are harmless! They don't have any chakra in them so, basically they are just paper right now." explaining what was inside. At first the three of them panicked when they heard about the Paper Bombs, but when Naruto explained that they weren't armed they calmed down, and it was Konohamaru who first said; "Well that's a relief! That must have been some party huh?" At which point Naruto busted up laughing, as he replied; "If you only knew!" remembering the things that went down during the party. Namely the prank he pulled on Neji and Tenten, not to mention the display from Guy-sensei. That still gave him fits of laughter, and they said he was the dumb one? Once Naruto calmed down he put the Gauntlets on, then asked; "So you guys still want that demonstration?" as he got into stance. All at once they yelled out; "YEAH!" and chuckled in excitement, to which Naruto chuckled as well and said; "Alright, here I go!" and filled the Claws with Chakra, to the point where they began to hum with how much was coursing through them! You could almost see them vibrate from the force of the chakra. When he was finished, he ran towards one of the Taijutsu steaks, where he proceeded to systematically dismantle it as he struck each of the arms of the steak. There were six in total. The first one, he leaped into the air and struck it with a downward slash, severing it in an instant. The second one he spun around and came at with a right cross swing with the same effect. The third he rotated in the opposite direction, connecting with a left-handed power swipe, which sliced clean through it! The forth he sliced at an angle with right-handed skyward arch, following up with a reverse version of the same move on the fifth, and the last he caught with a right backhand followed by a left cross. (10.) But he wasn't done there, after the arms were decimated he attacked the post it self, slashing it at any direction he could. By the time he was done with it, the Taijutsu steak may as well have been confetti! As Naruto caught his breath, the three young Genin looked on in shock and awe! Wide-eyed and slack-jawed they stared at the scene and gasped! But it was Konohamaru who first spoke as he said; "WHOA! That was Awesome Naruto! You used my uncle's Jutsu didn't you?" recognizing the Chakra Infusion Jutsu. Naruto chuckled and replied; "Yep! He taught it to me about a week before he died. Never thought I would be using it like this though." he gave another sheepish grin at the comment. He was followed by Udon, who said; "Way COOL! " with a grin of his own. Finally Moegi was the last to speak as she said; "Amazing! It was absolutely VICIOUS! I got chills just watching it!" with an excited grin . Naruto began scratching the back of his in his usual manner, as he stated; "Oh come on guys, you're making me blush!" with a chuckle as grinned. However, what they hadn't known, was that Tenten had arrived just in time to see the last half of the demonstration. Like the three of them she was awestruck! She couldn't believe her eyes, the way Naruto handled those gauntlets, was both beautiful and frightening at the same time! She now know what Guy-sensei was talking about, Naruto was the embodiment of a Tiger in his own rite. He was strong, ferocious and adaptive. He used the Chakra Infusion Jutsu to increase the destructive power of the Claws, making them stronger and sharper, able to slice through almost any material! And despite having next to no prior training with them, he handled them like a pro! She walked up closer and smiled as she said; "Hey guys!" as she greeted the three junior Genins. All three, Udon, Moegi and Konohamaru turned to meet the Chuunin Weapon Specialist. All of them saying at the same time; "Hey Tenten!" with cheerful smiles. Hearing Tenten's voice Naruto looked at her direction and waved as he said; "OH hey Tenten! Glad you could make it!" and began running over to them. When he got there, Tenten turned to him and said; "That was impressive Naruto! For some one who doesn't know how to use those, you seem to be doing fine as is!" with a sort of cocky grin. With an embarrassed grin, Naruto chuckled as he replied; "So you saw that huh? Truth be told I was just going by instinct, of course as you know, there is a big difference between fighting a practice dummy and a fight with real people." telling her that he had plenty to learn. Tenten had a skeptical look as she stated; "True, but regardless your form was excellent, if a little rough around the edges. I bet with a little bit of practice, and some fine tuning, there won't be a person alive who could match you with those!" confident he could master them in no time. That brought a smile to Naruto's face and he excitedly said; "You really think so?! Alright what are we waiting for!?" eager to begin the training. However Konohamaru and them were feeling all little left out, so he said; "HEY wait! What about us? I thought you were going to show us those Kunai she gave you!?" Naturally Udon and Moegi backed in him with a unified "Yeah!" as they nodded. This of course brought Naruto's attention back to them and he replied; "OH YEAH! Sorry guys, I guess I got carried away! Hold on let me get these off for a second…" and removed the Gauntlets and turned to Tenten and asked; "…Can you hold onto these for a second? Wearing them kind of hinders my hands." as he held out the Gauntlets to her. Tenten nodded eagerly as she replied; "Yeah sure!" and took them from Naruto, only to find they were slightly heavy but nothing she couldn't handle. Hell if she can handle a Heavy Giant Iron Ball like the Jidanda, then a pair of steel bladed Gauntlets should be easy by comparison! Naruto turned around and drew one of his new Kunai from his left pouch, then shifted it to his right hand, aimed at the furthest target and threw it with all his might! The Kunai flew with lightning speed, to the point where it was almost invisible to the naked eye, and hit square in the bull's-eye before splitting the target near in half as it slid all the way to the hilt! Naturally Konohamaru and them where stunned, as they had never seen a kunai do that before, at least not one that wasn't chakra enhanced. Immediately Konohamaru asked; "Whoa! What kind of Kunai are those!?" curious as to how Naruto did that. Udon became curious as well, and eagerly asked; "Can we see one?!" Naruto chuckled as he turned around and drew another Kunai to show them then answered; "You like that? Tenten's Dad made these! They are special type of Kunai, designed to penetrate enemy armor, rendering it useless and doing some serious damage in the process! I'm thinking of calling them, Piercing Kunai!" he gave a silly little wink as he said the name, like it was something clever. Naturally all three of them said in Unison; "COOL!" and nodded to express their excitement as they looked the Kunai over. However, Tenten just laughed at the display, before she said; "Alright guys, Naruto and I have a lot of work to do, so why don't you guys go find your Sensei or something?" trying to get them to leave so they can train. However, the mention of their sensei brought panicked looks on their faces, having all but forgotten about him they wondered if he even made it out of there. They looked at each other and chuckled sheepishly then Konohamaru turned to Tenten and said; "Well, about that…you see it's like this…" then proceeded to explain what happened to Ebisu-sensei thanks to their efforts. By the time they were finished Naruto was rolling on the ground for how hard he was laughing, and poor Tenten could barely breath, she had never heard anything so funny yet so cruel in all her life! Trying desperately to catch his breath, Naruto finally caught a second wind as he said; "Wow I can't believe you did that! HA-HA-HA-HA! Nice one Konohamaru, I got to say I'm impressed, even I wouldn't have thought of that!" before he busted out laughing again. Tenten was struggling just to stay on her feet, giggling so hard that her sides were sore, before she found the strength to say; "Man I would hate to be Ebisu-sensei right about now!" before giving one last giggle as she shook her head. This of course spurred Naruto on as he stated; "I know right?! Oh man that would suck! Remind me not to piss you off Konohamaru!" then laughed one more time before finally regaining control of himself. The whole time they were laughing Konohamaru was beaming with pride, simply for the fact that in a way he had surpassed Naruto, at least when it came to pranks. He gave a small giggle of amusement before asking; "You really think it was that good?" trying to be modest, though failing miserably. Naruto chuckled once more before he answered; "Are you kidding?! That was Pranking Genius! You definitely earned the title Prank Master Konohamaru!" with a huge grin! He turned to Udon and Moegi and told them; "Nice work on your end too guys, I'm sure he couldn't have done it without you!" knowing that Konohamaru's plan wouldn't have gone so smoothly with out them. Of course Moegi had to reply; "Well truthfully, I'm amazed we got away with it! Who would have thought that Ebisu-sensei would fall for a Jutsu like that one? Even as good as Konohamaru is, I would think a Jonin would know better!" with a small chuckle. Udon also had to comment as he said; "Yeah, it was so easy! It was almost pathetic! He didn't even try to see past the Jutsu! Guess that shows how much of a pervert he really is. In all honesty I calculated the success rate of that Prank to be 23%!" explaining the chances of it actually working. Of course Konohamaru growled at both of them for degrading their success, so he snapped; "HEY STOP COMPLAINING! We pulled it off didn't we?! So just enjoy it already, stop killing the moment will yah?" as he glared at them. To which both of them replied at the same time; "OKAY!" with playful smiles, they loved teasing Konohamaru even if they didn't really mean it. Tenten shook her head as she giggled at the display, these guys were hilarious, this was easily the most fun she had in weeks! "OK you guys, I think its time you split, we got a lot of work to do so I think it would be best if you guys went home. I bet your parents are worried about you." she said, reminding them of how long they had been gone. Getting the hint, all three of them decided it was best just to leave, so they said in unison; "Okay…" before turning to Naruto and said; "See you later Naruto, you too Tenten!" and took off for home, waving as they left. Naruto and Tenten waved back, as Naruto called out; "See you later guys!" then turned back to Tenten, and asked; "So what's first?" eager to start the training. Tenten turned back to Naruto and thought about what they should do, so then she came up with a plan. "Well, I think we should start with a few routines that I can show you, from there we can figure out which one works best for you and incorporate it into your fighting style. Since you pretty much have the power aspect of the Tiger style down, all we need to do is to work on the flexibility of it. After that we can test it in a live combat situation, meaning you create as many shadow clones as you can and fight them using the Gauntlets and see how it works for you." she explained, going into the details of the training he needed. Naruto nodded in agreement, it sounded pretty good to him so he said; "Alright! So show me what you got!" with an excited smile, already this was looking to be a great training regiment! Tenten nodded as well then said; "Sure!" then strapped on the gauntlets and got a feel for them. They were different from the other tools she was use to using, but then again most of her tools were used at long range, so this was a new experience for her. No that she couldn't fight at close range, seeing as her Taijutsu was equal to Naruto and Neji in that aspect. Immediately she went into a Tiger Stance fighting pose, then from there she did a routine of Jabs, Kicks and various flip maneuvers. Such as Back Flip Kicks, Rotating Roundhouses, Front Flip Dropkicks and other such leg attacks. Others included Claw swipe combos, a few stabbing jab combos, and a few aerial techniques. Just from watching her, Naruto knew he made the right choice, though Sora would have been preferred Tenten was a perfect substitute! When she finished Naruto was slack jawed in amazement as he said; "Oh wow, that was awesome! You got to teach me some of those moves!" Tenten giggled at his excitement, it was clear to her that Naruto loved to train, and if it was something he was good at then he would definitely learn pretty fast! She smiled as she replied; "Well that's what were here for isn't? Come on its your turn!" as she took off the gauntlets and handed them back to Naruto. And thus his training began!Across town, at Yamanaka's Flowers, Ino was already tending the shop once more. It was now 3:30 PM, and she was already bored out of her mind! It had been a trivial day at the Hospital, same routine as always, patient check ups and such. The only real excitement was when Ebisu was admitted after being attacked at the Women's bathhouse, he was so badly beaten, it was a shock he was still breathing let alone moving! That and when Sakura appeared, and naturally she had to start up a conversation. It was hard to keep the all-knowing smile off her face, as she thought back to how that event had gone down...
(Flashback) 9:30 AM. Ino was just minding her business, as she carried on through the day, thinking of the moment when she could see Naruto again. She gave a huff as she waited for her shift to be over, when Sakura comes through the door. "Oh, hey Sakura, how are you you today?" she asked, trying to at least sound friendly. Sakura smiled brightly at her friend and the greeting as she answered; "Hey Ino, I'm fine. You seem in a good mood today, something happen that I don't know about?" her smile turning to a sly grin knowing Ino's usual hobbies, namely boys. She wasn't a pervert per say, but she loved to gossip as much as the next girl. Ino grew a sly grin of her own as she gave a sleazy giggle and replied; "You could say that..." trailing off in a teasing manner. Of course if the girl had any clue at all what happened yesterday, she would be furious right now. Sakura playfully whined as she said; "Meanie! So was he any good?" giving a teasing giggle of her own. By this time, Ino had turned around to check on the charts for one of her patients, however she unconsciously licked her lips as she thought 'Better then you think Forehead! If not for my Medical Ninjutsu, I have no doubt I would be on crutches right now!' Just remembering what happened last night still made her shiver. However she turned her head over her shoulder, and smoothly cooed; "Wouldn't you like to know..." giggling slightly as she turned back. This shocked Sakura, as usually Ino always had one comment or another, but to be completely void of an answer? "Oh-ho, so you finally found him didn't you?! Your so called 'Mr. Perfect'?" She asked with wide-eyed anticipation. Ino only turned around and smirked, she loved playing these mind games. Sakura giggled like she just won the lottery, before she went on to ask; "Is he cute?" her face practically split from ear-to-ear. Ino had to force her self not to snicker as she thought 'Why are you asking me, Bird-brain? He's your teammate!' before she turn back and said; "Aren't they always?" and rolled her eyes like it was the most obvious thing in the world. She walked back to the counter which Sakura was leaning on, before adding; "Anyway, why are you so interested, I thought you were into Naruto?" after which she thought, 'Not that you will get him if I have anything to say about it!' This of course made Sakura blush, as the thought of being with the blond in question was still a new prospect for her, not to mention the day she nearly raped him at his doorstep. However, at this point a voice inside her head that she thought all but vanished so long ago chimed in. 'You can't rape the willing, and that boy is about as willing as you can get! CHA!!' 'Oh who asked you, besides I thought I said I didn't need you anymore?!' thought "Outer Sakura", as she scolded her long lost inner personality. However, "Inner Sakura" just chuckled as she thought back, 'That was before you lost the spine to tell that gorgeous hunk of man you call your teammate what you really think of him, and exactly what you want to do with him. CH-A!!' that last part sounded a little too provocative for Sakura's taste. 'Since when did you become such a pervert?' she internally questioned, hoping that Ino wasn't catching on to her private conversation. Once again "Inner Sakura" chuckled as she replied, 'Probably around the same time you came down with Naruto-fever. CHA!' This of course made Sakura blush even deeper, so turning her head before Ino could see, she thought 'Oh shut up!' and with that she decided to ignore any further monolog from her other self, and replied to Ino; "Well, yeah I am, but if this guy is good enough to even keep YOU tight lipped then I got to meet him!" It was now Ino's turn to blush as she thought, 'Tight lipped nothing! I'm surprised I can even speak! Besides, it's not like you don't see him every day during training...' however it wasn't long before Sakura added; "Besides, I need to know what Name to add to the wedding invitations." with a devious grin. Ino chuckled sheepishly at the obvious jab and asked; "Guess I deserve that don't I?" remembering the comment she said about Naruto and Sakura getting married. How ironic that the same comment be thrown back at her about her and Naruto as well. Sakura just smirked, being completely oblivious to said Irony, as she replied; "Yeah you did. Speaking of Naruto, I ran into him on the way here. He seems to be really happy now. I'm glad he is feeling better." Suddenly there was this really dreamy look on Sakura's face, one that seemed WAY to comfortable about her train of thought. At this point Ino had to fight not to laugh as she thought; 'If only you knew how "good" he REALLY feels.' unable to hold back a shudder that thankfully Sakura didn't see. Trying to draw attention away from it, she quickly said; "Well the party was pretty awesome..." all the while she thought 'Not toe mention the before and after celebration we had!' remembering the night her and Naruto shared. Deciding to drop the conversation, lest she be tempted to say something she shouldn't, Ino then added; "...Anyway Sakura, as much as I love to talk gossip, and you know I do. We really should be getting back to work, and we still got a log day ahead of us." This brought Sakura out of her stupor and she shot up like a bolt as she said; "Huh? Oh right!" and began her rounds with Ino. (End Flashback) Needless to say, the rest of the day had been very awkward for Ino, as Sakura kept asking questions about her mysterious lover. Even more so because her mind kept turning to the blond Jinchuuriki himself, she already missed his presence. Even now she was standing there at the counter, wishfully sighing and hoping to see him, that he would show up right here at the store. At least then she would have plenty to do to pass the time! She was about to give another sigh, when she looked up and to her surprise, there he was! Standing across the street, with an all-to-happy smile on his face, was Naruto leaning against one of the neighboring buildings. Her face lit up when she saw him, and her heart raced with excitement, and she bore a lustful smile as she leaned against the counter and curled a finger at him, beckoning him towards her. Naruto chuckled when he saw the notion, then looked in either direction as he watched the road, seeing that the coast was clear he crossed the street and went in side. As always at this time of day the store itself was completely empty, save for the lovely lady watching the counter that is, so they were all alone! Unable to stop himself, Naruto asked; "Is it always this barren?" as he came closer to the counter, wondering why the store had no customers. Naturally, Ino replied; "Lately? Yes. But is that really what you came here for?" with a knowing grin, then reached out and grabbed the collar of his coat, (the one he usually wears) pulling him into a deep passionate kiss before he could answer. Though the kiss caught him by surprise, he offered no resistance, and moaned into the kiss as he returned it. Then pulled back just enough to say; "No, not really." then chuckled and kissed her again, but only for a moment then he pulled back once more to whisper; "You know you left something at my house right?" reminding her of her bra and panties she left behind. Ino's grin only widened, as she replied in a sexy whisper; "I know." and kissed him once more, at this point she was begging for a hard fuck! She pulled away and began leading him towards the stairs to her bedroom, he mother was out on business so she had the house all to herself. However, Naruto stopped her suddenly as he said; "Um…wait, before we get ahead of ourselves, you should probably know I'm just a shadow clone. The Boss is still in Training with Tenten." This of course made Ino pout as she replied; "Oh... So I take it then he sent you here for other reasons right?" sounding a little disappointed. The real Naruto would definitely have to make up for it later. That was when she noticed he wasn't wearing the coat, and so she asked; "Huh? What happened to the coat I gave him?" wondering where it was. The Naruto clone sheepishly chuckled as he scratched his head, and answered; "OH Yeah, that! Well the Boss ordered me to take it back to his place since he didn't want it to get damaged, and wanted me to ask you something since he couldn't be here just yet." telling her what Naruto wanted. She silently growled, wishing that he was, gods how she wanted him already! Figuring that she had no choice but to bare it for now she replied; "Ok, ask away." wondering what was on his mind. Knowing that there was no easy way to say this, the Naruto clone bluntly said; "Well, the Boss wanted to ask if you wanted to go out with him sometime?" with a nervous chuckle, knowing what was coming. Almost instantly Ino's eyes lit up in shock, and more importantly fear, as she quickly replied; "What!? B-but Naruto knows we can't be…" however the Clone stopped her there, in the same she had yesterday, as he placed his index and middle fingers on her lips. With a gentle smile, the clone completed her sentence as he said; "…can't be seen together? Yes he knows, but who ever said he had to be himself? The Boss figures as long as he wears a Transformation Jutsu, no one will even know it's him, as long as there are no other Ninja around." he bore a sly little grin as he explained Naruto's plan. However Ino was skeptical, sure Naruto was good at his transformations, she knew this from when he fooled Kiba all those years ago. But she still had her doubts, so she asked; "I don't know, besides, why does he want to go out all of a sudden?" wondering what Naruto's motives were. The clone chuckled as she asked that, and so he replied; "The Boss figured you would ask that, see the reason is that he wants to do something for you, to show you how grateful he is for everything you did for and given him. That and he isn't so sure where the two of you stand. Yes you guys are lovers, but he wants to know if it's more then that? That if maybe there is more between you then just sex. Lately he has been re-evaluating his feelings for Sakura, so before he moves on he has to know what he feels about you, and what you feel about him. So will you do it?" as he waited for her answer. Ino gasped when she heard that, stunned that he had been wondering the same thing she had, at the moment she didn't know how to answer that. She was just as confused at this point as he was, so she decided to answer with the following; "Well, I'll think about it, besides we can talk about it later at his place." This caught the clone off guard so he asked; "So your coming back tonight?" surprised she would even suggest it. Once again her devilish smile came back in full-force as she replied; "Oh you KNOW I am! Besides, I can't very well just leave those there, it might raise too many questions." and gave a wink as she did so. The clone chuckled and pulled her close as he said; "Who says anyone is going to see them?" with a grin of his own, at which point Ino giggled and leaned in to kiss him one more time. However, just as she placed her lips on his, she heard a gasp and turned to see where it came from. When she did, her eyes went wide in panic, for there in the doorway of the store stood one paled-eyed and heartbroken…"Hinata!" said Ino as she called out her name.AN: HA-HA!
