Icha icha enegement - Chapter 2

Should we wake her up? So she knows she didn't just dream it?" Naruto asked as he helped pick Hinata up off the floor.

"We probably should." Hiashi's sighed and pulled out a bottle of smelling salts to bring his unusual daughter back to consciousness.

"Tou-san! I h-had a r-really w-w-wonderful d-dream that you s-said I was going to m-marry Na-Naruto-k-kun." she fidgeted quietly as she said that, she then looked around and saw Naruto. "I-It wasn't a d-dr-dream!" and with that Hinata fainted again. In unison Hiashi, Haku, and Naruto all groaned.

"I simply hope she doesn't do this at the wedding. It would be a bit trifling if that happened." Hiashi commented as he once again used some smelling salts to bring his daughter back to consciousness.

Needless to say after Twenty-Five minutes, Hinata had gotten used to the shock. It was amazing that it was so shocking the Hinata had fainted at least nine times. It wasn't really that shocking to the others but to Hinata it must have been a big shock. Almost everyone knew she was infatuated with the Hidden Genius of the Hidden Leaf Village.

"As I was saying, in two weeks you Naruto Uzumaki, shall wed my eldest daughter Hinata, of the Hyuuga clan. Also be sure to wear something formal. Such as your clan robes. No jump suits!" Hiashi made it clear that he didn't want this to be some mockery of the Hyuuga clan, he then noticed his daughter didn't faint this time and sighed with relief.

"Why two weeks?" Naruto thought that was quite odd, then at the back of his head the image of Ino came to view. "Inoichi bargained with you didn't he?"

Hiashi nodded softly, 'Never, challenge a doting father…so scary…' this was the only thought that stuck in his head. "He made it clear Ino shall have her wedding first…he made it quite clear…him and his wife…"

"Alright…I'll be sure to remember in two weeks…you can count on me to remember that!" Naruto then gave his trademark pending foxy grin. Then dreadful thoughts filled his head, 'Formal Wear!? I don't own anything formal! And as I remember guys usually have to dress formal for their wedding or their wife won't let them live it down!' after that though his eye twitched this wasn't good.

"Okay then, we shall leave…we will see you in two weeks." Hiashi stood and walked to the door, "I will be waiting outside Hinata". This couldn't be, was Hiashi actually trying to be a good father, and make Hinata happy.

"I…w-w-will s-s-see you w-w-when we get m-m-m-married…a-and p-probably when you m-marry I-Ino…" The Hyuuga heiress managed to stutter out, as she fidgeted with her fingers looking off to the side.

"Okay, have a nice evening Hinata-chan!" He then hugged her tightly, he was starting to see the point the Ero-Sennin and the Furball made about every man's dream. Then again he remembered that there would be arguing. He of course returned to attention hoping Hinata wouldn't faint, she had done this before when he hugged her.

"Th-thank you, Naru-Naruto-kun! I l-look for-forward to o-our w-wedding…" the Hyuuga heiress once again stammered, she then slipped out of Naruto's arms reluctantly of course and walked out the door.

Naruto flopped onto the couch and sighed in an exhausted manner, "no more affection for me today…" Naruto closed his eyes and got comfortable. He sensed a shadow pass overhead and opened an eye to see Haku leaning over him with a delicate smile on her face.

"You don't get a say Naruto-kun…Zabuza-san is on a mission which means you will spend the evening with me." Haku smiled kindly and helped Naruto up, 'This might be my only chance to spend some time with Naruto-kun…I need to show him that I am still fond of him.' she then lead Naruto to the dinner table.

"Too tired…" Naruto managed to mutter, before he could mutter anymore some food was shoved into his mouth. Delicious food! That was all it took to get Naruto to wake up, this was the power of Haku's cooking.

"Too tired for something I made just for you…?" Haku then gave a smirk since she knew Naruto loved her cooking. She set a large bowl of ramen in front of Naruto this ramen was on par with Ichiraku ramen. "That's just the appetizer Naruto-kun."

"How much food did you cook for me?" Naruto's stomach then growled, or should it be said that it roared. "Eh heh…looks like I'm still hungry…" he scratched his cheek, feeling a tad embarrassed by this roaring of his stomach.

"I know you ate light to make it easier on Temari…so I cooked you dinner figuring you must be hungry." She smiled as she reached into the oven and pulled out some egg rolls, and wontons, 'Thanks for the Recipe Tenten…too bad Temari doesn't know the best way is to cook for Naruto.' Haku smiled as she thought quietly while checking the main course. She looked to see Naruto was happily eating the ramen, she then giggled when she saw there were naruto kamaboko fish cakes on one of his cheeks.

"What?" Naruto had paused his inhaling of noodles when he heard Haku giggling, he was oblivious that there were some fish cakes of his name sake on his face.

"There is a kamaboko on your cheek Naruto-kun" she managed to say between giggles. This in all honesty was what Haku admired about Naruto most, his child like purity. She walked over and took a napkin and wiped his face and simply stared into his eyes. This was picturesque moment, 'Naruto…you really have changed my life…I know about so many things because of you…' she then blushed deep crimson and backed up to return to her attention to the main course. She quickly set the wok on the table then set a plate with wontons and egg rolls on it between the two of them and a bowl with fried rice on the table.

An hour later ('Cause I don't feel like going over the meal anymore.)

After having in fact devoured the large meal the two had relegated themselves to sitting on the couch peacefully, the two were looking around trying to find some way to start conversation. It was like they had a moment for something and it was long gone now, Naruto for one was oddly quiet. Naruto then leaned over and kissed Haku's cheek he smiled when he saw her face turn as red as a tomato, his smile then turned into a chuckle.

"You think that's funny do you?" Haku huffed as she jabbed Naruto with her elbow, the two had such trouble figuring out what to do since Zabuza was on a mission. It was a bit awkward with out Zabuza being a strict authoritarian, and not allowing the two to be alone, one would think that Zabuza took the mission to make it possible for the two to get closer.

"Someone had to break the silence!" he grinned in his special way, he began to tickle Haku as he broke into laughter.

"Noo! Stop that isn't funny Naruto-kun!" Haku cried out between giggle fits as she was being tickled, she squirmed, and writhed trying to get away.

"Yes it is! And its ending the awkward silence between us!" was his reply as he continued to tickle Haku. He then suddenly stopped tickling her and looked at her, he took in her beautiful face and blushed softly. "You're beautiful Haku-chan…" he called softly as he looked deeply into her eyes.

"Arigatou Naruto-kun…" She blushed softly, she gazed affectionately up at Naruto, and smiled happily. She then wrapped her arms around Naruto's neck, she was blushing a bright crimson, she had never thought this situation would happen.

Naruto slowly leaned closer and kissed her softly, his right hand rested softly on her cheek. His eyes slowly drifted closed as he kissed her affectionately, his other hand ran through her long dark hair. Naruto slowly broke away from the kiss and simply blushed his thoughts were on what had just happened. He had kissed Haku, a girl he had been extremely fond of for seven years. Did Zabuza count on this to happen? No it couldn't be that simple. Naruto stood to his feet and helped Haku to her feet, and as she got to her feet she fell forward right into Naruto's chest.

Haku simply blushed deep red as she rested her head against Naruto's chest. She had imagined a situation like this would happen someday but not like this. "Naruto-kun…I have a confession to make…" Haku blushed deeply, she was about to make a bold leap forward. "I…I'm in love with you." her blush deepened after her admission.

"I love you too Haku-chan." Naruto wrapped his arms around Haku slowly he simply just held her close. It was a known fact that Naruto had a big heart, he was more than capable of having love for all these women that seemed to love him. Naruto sat down on the couch with Haku, after a few minutes he had noticed Haku had fallen asleep. "Sleep well my Snow Angel" he spoke softly so as not to wake her, and lightly placed a kiss on her forehead. He closed his eyes and rested his head lightly against hers as he too slipped into sleep.

The Next Morning, at 7 A.M.

There was a pounding at the door of the home, Naruto of course was a sound sleeper, so he didn't hear anything. Haku on the other hand did and woke from her serene slumber and walked to the door, she opened it up just a crack she then opened the door when she saw it was Ino. "Good morning Ino…I trust you are here to see Naruto?"

"Mmhmm! Since my parents are planning the wedding we need to get Naruto some formal clothes, and get invitations sent out. So we need to get started today." Ino smiled cheerfully, many people had often compared the two noisy blondes as being perfect for each other, just based on their similar personalities. Only difference Ino liked to eat healthier than her fiancé Naruto.

"Naruto is sleeping but I know how to wake him up." Haku smiled sweetly as she went to the kitchen and heated up the broth for her ramen from the night before. She then returned with a bowl of ramen, and waited as Naruto slowly woke up.

"Figures he would wake up from the smell of that stuff." Ino had an exasperated look on her face as she watched Naruto wake up and begin eating the bowl of Ramen. Once he was done, Ino took the bowl, handed it over to Haku, and dragged Naruto out of the apartment by the collar of his jump suit. Naruto quickly used Kage Bunshin no Jutsu to create one clone which ran over and kissed Haku on the cheek and hugged her tightly, once Haku smiled happily it disappeared into a poof of smoke. He was more than thankful that he learned that technique since it was going to come in handy from the point on.

Five minutes later at the Yamanaka's

"Okay, Naruto you wait here with my dad while we pick out flowers for floral arrangements." Ino then disappeared into the back with her mother leaving Naruto and Inoichi alone. The two men just blinked since it seemed pretty pointless.

"Then why did you make us come here?!" both men shouted out in unison since it was rather weird.

"Hey Naruto…I know you're good with Kage Bunshin no Jutsu…" Inoichi began as he looked at his future son in law.

"And?" Naruto replied as he looked at Inoichi was caution, since he knew they would end up getting in trouble if Ino or her mother found out what they were up to.

"Could you create a few clones and get us some food and coffee? It's Seven in the morning…we need breakfast!" Inoichi wasn't joking either as he and Naruto both yawned loudly. Naruto could only grin before creating three clones which then stealthily ran out the door. Within fifteen minutes the clones return with some cappuccinos and some pastries. "You're going to have your hands full with Ino…she's just like a princess Naruto…but I gather you know that already."

"I am…she doesn't let me take her to Ichiraku ever. She says that Ayame-chan is too pretty for her to trust to be around me…" Naruto simply sweat dropped when he finished that sentence.

"It begins!" Inoichi quipped knowing all the signs from years of marriage. He knew all the signs and could give this boy some pointers. "You do know whenever a woman says that to reassure her that she's beautiful right? Yet given your upcoming situation you will have to find ways to reassure each one that they are beautiful in individual ways…"

Naruto nodded his head in agreement, you could say that Ino was what they call 'The Hot Chick' beautiful, while Ayame was 'The Girl Next Door' beautiful. "I do know that, but I swear if one more person tells me I'm living every man's dream I'm going to hurt them."

"Let me guess Jiraiya-sama told you that?" Inoichi's eyes rolled at the thought, then he figured it was typical thinking of the perverted Sannin. It was the typical thinking of the man who writes Icha Icha Paradise, of course Inoichi's wife doesn't know that he reads that book.

"So how long do you think its going to take them to pick out flowers and choose arrangements?" Naruto asked nonchalantly as he looked around making sure he had an idea of flowers and bouquets to use if he made a wife angry. 'They actually have a I'm sorry I confused your birthday with a different wife's bouquet' Naruto smirked some knowing he might need that a few times.

Three hours later…

"Okay sorry it took so long…we get all the flowers picked out and just the right arrangements planned. Now we go find a place to have a wedding, get Naruto something formal because I am not going to marry you while you wear an orange jump suit! And then find caterers for the reception. No Ichiraku Naruto!" Ino and her mother then dragged Naruto, and Inoichi out of shop making sure the door was locked as they left to find a place for the wedding to be held.

3 in the afternoon

"Tsunade-sama we're here because you knew Naruto's father and may know a thing or two about the Uzumaki Clan…and we can't find Jiraiya-sama." Ino started as she kept a tight hold on Naruto's arm. It had been a trying day, they finally found a place to have the wedding. They were now on the task of finding Naruto something formal to wear.

"Well Arashi's clan robes might not fit Naruto…so you will probably need to find someone to replicate them. Now lets see…" Tsunade pulled out a kunai and threw it at the wall causing Jiraiya to reveal himself.

"HOW DO YOU KEEP FINDING ME YOU OLD HAG!" Jiraiya shook his fist in anger, mostly since the kunai hit the wall uncomfortable close to his groin.

"Letch go and make yourself useful and make Naruto some formal clothes with his clan seal on the back. Call me an old hag again and I will aim higher next time!" Tsunade prepared another Kunai as she watched Jiraiya cautiously.

"Fine, fine…sheesh…come on brat!" Jiraiya shouted as he dragged Naruto out of the office. This left Ino, alone with Tsunade, Shizune, and Sakura.

"Ino pig…you know I will make sure Naruto-kun marries me too." Sakura didn't miss a beat at trying to stir up trouble with her rival. "I didn't know my fiancé liked girls with giant foreheads!" Ino retorted as she stood to her feet and the two eternal rivals glared at each other. Their animosity for one another seemed to materialize as if while they were glaring it seemed as if lightning struck.

"I saw him first Piggy!" Sakura responded as she cracked her knuckles, the two were about to throw down right there and right now. "While you are fighting I'm going to go see Naruto-kun." Shizune calmly and cheerfully said as she walked past the two. She had a sly smirk across her face as she was headed for the door.

"OH NO YOU DON'T!" The two grabbed hold of Shizune's shoulders and dragged her back. Tsunade's eye twitched as the three girls began to bicker right in front of her, she growled angrily and slammed her fist down on her desk much harder than before this sent the desk flying down to the floor below. The desk landed on top of Gai's head and split in half.

"AMAZING! GAI-SENSEI! Your head is so well trained that nothing can harm you if it hits you on the head! I must also train to have as hard of a head as you!" Rock Lee was quick to say as he looked at Gai with admiration.

"This is my Kekkei Genkai! Lee! Head of Iron!" Gai then went into his good guy pose, his teeth sparkling as he posed.

"…Is that so Gai? I thought it was just that your skull is really thick. Besides you don't have a Kekkei Genkai," Kakashi quipped as he looked up from his book, this caused Gai's eye to twitch. 'Why must you be so hip Kakashi!?' Gai thought as he became quite frazzled from Kakashi's sarcasm.

The four women upstairs could only twitch in shock that Gai's head was so thick that nothing could hurt him if it hit him on the head. It was just so odd, and unusual…after the shock was over, the three women were about to start arguing. "DON'T START AGAIN!" Tsunade warned them as she cracked her knuckles, there were veins appearing in her forehead. "Stop fighting over Naruto…honestly don't you girls think Naruto is well capable of loving all of you? He is after all someone that wants to be Hokage, and the Hokage must show care for the entire village as if they were his or her family."

The three women nodded never having seen the angry side of Tsunade, she regarded Naruto as a son, maybe even a grandson that is if she wanted to admit she was in fact old. And she wasn't about to admit that, she felt like she was in her thirties, and thanks to a Genjutsu she looked it. "Now sit down and we can get to the subject at hand…planning the wedding!"

Elsewhere

Naruto stood in the local tailor shop, Jiraiya had managed to put Naruto into a replica of his own clothing. Naruto simply had a few blood veins popping out of his forehead, he was definitely not amused by this. "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND ERO-SENNIN! INO WILL KILL ME!" Naruto shouted loudly right into Jiraiya's ear, his eye twitching. Jiraiya stood and glared at Naruto, "I'm doing you a favor! You should have clothes like this! It causes people to misjudge you!" Jiraiya quickly replied, as he continued to glare at his student. "I'm getting married I'm not performing Kabuki!"

"Fine, fine…sheesh! Still take this as a present! You are after all my best student! Well living! And one day you too shall have a student! Hopefully just as annoying as you were! Ya know I think I aged fifty years because of you!" Jiraiya complained with his arms crossed over his chest.

An hour later…

"This is much better. Its comfortable, wont make Ino shout at me, and on top of that it's orange, and black." Naruto was pleased with the new clan robe or in the case of what he would be using it for formal wear.

"There it is the spitting image of Arashi. Except for the whisker marks! But what do you expect! My number one student is getting married! I'm just so proud of you! And you're marrying one heck of a beauty!" Jiraiya was quick to give a dual thumb's up in approval. Naruto could only grin he didn't care about correcting the Ero-Sennin. "You know I have to throw you a Bachelor party now boy!" Jiraiya shouted quite loudly not caring who heard getting lecherous thoughts in his head.

"No strippers!" Naruto didn't have the same lecherous thoughts that his sensei had, this of course caused Jiraiya to pout. "Not even one stripper?" Jiraiya tried to bargain with his moral student, he of course knew he was going to lose this argument. "Not even one! I don't think I really need to worry about seeing naked women." Naruto quipped, he knew quite well at his current rate he was going to be seeing more nudity than most married men in the coming weeks.

At the Hokage Tower

(A/N: Let's just assume some of the Jounin have clearance to marry people.)

"Tsunade-sama we just need to find someone to perform the ceremony…" Ino began as she tapped her chin in thought of who they could have perform the ceremony. "Would you do it Hokage-sama?"

"Err…no that might not be such a good idea. I'm kind of unreliable in this considering I was once married to that letch Jiraiya it might be bad luck for you two." Tsunade was by no chance joking about Jiraiya, it would explain why she hated him so much. Just then Kakashi had appeared in the room under a poof of smoke, "Yo." his typical entrance was to be expected.

"No…you can't be the person who gives the ceremony. You're always late." Sakura quipped quickly, she may not have been exactly the best friend of Ino, especially when a guy was involved. Kakashi walked out of the office in defeat, next to walk in was Gai, "NEXT!" was quickly yelled and Gai walked right out while sulking. "We may have to have Jiraiya be the head of ceremonies…" Shizune calmly commented, at hearing this Tsunade of course paled thinking about the ceremony that letch would give. "I'll do it!" Tsunade quickly called out, she would do anything to make sure this wedding wouldn't be a complete mockery.

Later at Naruto's apartment…

Naruto staggered into the apartment where he currently lived and fell onto the floor carrying some bags. "Home…sweet…home" He climbed back to his feet and went right to his room with the bags of new clothes. As soon as he walked into his room he dropped the bags in shock…his day just got a whole lot more hectic. His eye simply twitched, not once, but thrice! Standing in his room was the one person he hadn't expected to run into this day.

"Hey fucktard I was getting tired of waiting for you to get here!" the person called out full of anger

Tayuya…the most foul mouthed ninja Naruto knew. She may be part of the leaf now but still she has no sense of watching here mouth. Not to mention no tact, 'Why me? Why today? Why couldn't she wait 'til later to track me down?' was the only thought that cross the number one surprising ninja's mind. "You know asshole I'm really pissed off you haven't asked me out on a date yet! And don't give me that you're getting married bull shit! You can still date other girls!" she quickly started to chew the blonde out, and blonde sighed since he just wanted to get some sleep.

"Fine…lets go for drinks two nights from tomorrow." Naruto wasn't sure about dinner since Tayuya's mouth would get them kicked out of the restaurants. Bars didn't seem to mind as much, and Naruto was technically not under legal age to drink since in Konoha it started at age sixteen, the unofficial law was as soon as you could sit at the bar.

"Okay see you there shithead!" She then pushed passed him after punching him in the arm, not in a playful manner, but in a Tayuya manner, meaning hard. She likes to hurt the ones she loves they say. Once he was sure she was out of the apartment he flopped onto his bed and groaned.

"My life is going to be hell…hopefully the sweet wives will counter balance the bossy ones…" And with that he sighed in discontent and snuggled into his bed.

Naruto had finally gotten himself a good night of rest, as would be indicated by the fact it was now ten in the morning, and he was hanging off the side of his bed. He then fell over the edge and hit the floor with a thud, muttering one word, "Ouch…" he then crawled back up into his bed and stared at the ceiling for a moment. He then drifted his attention over to a wall, he then saw a large banner.

Naruto,

Meet me at Ichiraku Ramen.

-Anko Mitarashi

Naruto sighed, another date already at least he was well rested, he staggered to his feet and got dressed, and staggered to the bathroom to brush his teeth. Upon walking into the bathroom his face turned bright red, for what he had seen when he was walking in was a nude Haku who was drying off after bathing. "Oh crap! I'm sorry!" he quickly turned and ran right into the wall behind him knocking himself out. "Naruto-kun!" Haku pulled a robe on and knelt down beside Naruto.

Naruto shortly came to and rubbed his head, and winced some. "Itai… " he looked over and saw Haku looking at him rather concerned. He sat up and rubbed his head wincing some more. "I need to learn to knock…" he looked away feeling a bit embarrassed. His face turned bright red at remembering what Haku looked like while she was nude.

"It's not like you weren't bound to see me like that Naruto." Haku spoke softly as she put her arms around Naruto. She smiled softly as she kissed his cheek before heading to her room. Naruto just sat their blushing still, until slight fear washed over him, Anko, now that was a scary woman.

Naruto sighed and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth, then he rushed out the door making sure to get to Ichiraku Ramen on time. He skidded to a stop as he reached Ichiraku Ramen. He looked left, he looked right, he even looked up, and below. Then out of no where someone snuck up and wrapped their arms around him, "Naruto-kun your late! You are lucky I'm forgiving today. So if you buy me some dango I will forgive you for being late for our date." and with that Anko began to drag Naruto off by the collar of his shirt. Ayame watched this from the ramen stand and giggled.

Moments later the two were outside of a place that sold the sweet dumplings that Anko loved oh so very much. It was often compared to Naruto's obsession with ramen. Naruto simply blinked when he saw all the skewers she had thrown into a tree, of course it was rather embarrassing since she made a picture of them kissing. "Why did you do that with the skewers?" Naruto's eye twitched some since it was such an odd thing for Anko to do. Not once had Anko been the sweet romantic type, in truth she was more of a creepy examiner.

"Awww is Naru-kun embarrassed? How about I give you a kiss to get your mind off of it?" Anko smirked in a sadistic manner as she pulled Naruto close. This helped Naruto realize that this was in fact the same Anko. Naruto quickly was able to use kawarimi no jutsu to replace himself with a Naruto Plushie. He had seen his fair share of odd things but this side of Anko was just scary. Anko blinked as she kissed the plushie and looked up to see Naruto trying to make an escape. "Oh no you don't!" she called out as she bound Naruto in many snakes, she walked over looked at Naruto with an unamused look on her face. "Now Naru-kun if you keep running away I'm going to have to take more drastic measures." the tone she used would make even Orochimaru's skin crawl if he were still alive that is.

"Fine you win…" Naruto didn't like the tone that Anko used since it was beyond creepy, creepy meant you had an idea of what they would do. Beyond meant you had no idea whatsoever. "Good! Now c'mon fox boy! Lets get some lunch!" Anko was quick to glare at Naruto before he could mention that she just ate several dango. He only paled and let her drag him to the BBQ restaurant, apparently there had been a rumor that Naruto and Ayame were fond of each other, and Anko needed reassurance that Naruto's attention would be on her.

Elsewhere…

"MOVE IT! Shikamaru hurry up!" Ino yelled out as she stood in the center of the location for the wedding. She had managed to get mostly everyone she could to help set up the wedding. "Oh man…what a drag…how did she manage to talk me into this?" Shikamaru with out missing a beat began to complain, he had been stuck with the task of bringing in the flowers.

"Ino! This isn't what Akamaru is meant for! He isn't some chair delivery dog!" Kiba chimed in as he walked beside his giant dog who was carrying numerous chairs on his back. Just then Ino turned her eyes seemed to have changed to something demonic as they were aglow with a red darkness. Ino was going Bridezilla on all of them. "THIS IS GOING TO BE MY SPECIAL DAY! THE DAY I BECOME MRS. NARUTO UZUMAKI! NOW YOU STOP COMPLAINING OR WE WILL HAVE A PROBLEM! DO WE HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING!?" after she finished Kiba, and Shikamaru just paled and shrunk away in fear. "Got it boss lady…" the two managed to squeak out before returning to their assigned tasks. Hinata giggled watching this scene, it was funny to see Ino act so crazy about her wedding.

"Ino we simply must get you fitted for your wedding gown!" suddenly came a surprising voice to everyone. It was Sai…oddly enough no one ever expected him to be so, well gay. Naruto did, but that was only because Sai had made comments about Naruto's penis way too much for normal comfort levels. "OOH HINATA-CHAN! We should totally get started on adjustments of your mothers wedding gown while we're at it!" and when Ino, Hinata, and Sai, the best dress maker in Konoha had left the 'decoration crew' sighed, just before shuddering at the creepiness of Sai. "Remember, if Ino isn't happy…no one is happy…so lets finish this setting up…oh man what a drag…I don't get how she convinced my wife that I should help…" Shikamaru quickly complained as he left to bring some more flowers in.

Back on Naruto's date…

Naruto was growing more comfortable with this new calmer Anko, it was still strange, it was like Chouji eating a salad strange. And Naruto had seen Chouji eat a salad before. "You've sure grown up Naru-kun, you're not that same mouthy brat I met at the Chuunin exams…which is good because you would be unattractive then. But still loosen up! This is a date! Not a wake!" she then patted him on the shoulder to reassure him that its okay to be himself, cause she wouldn't bite…at least not that much. Anko was a special kind of lady, or as Jiraiya put it, 'She's a special kind of girl, the kind you don't bring home to mama, she's a super freak, super freak, super freaky!' of course Naruto had that song stuck in his head for a weak after.

"Okay Anko-chan…" Naruto was slightly nervous, of course one would have to be considering how unusual Anko was. Of course they weren't so different because Naruto wasn't exactly normal. "Good…now eat up! You must be hungry!" Anko said with a cheerful look on her face, Naruto began to eat, he was after all quite hungry after having not eaten yet that day. After they had eaten and paid for their meal the two were talking down the streets, Naruto was of course telling stories that portrayed him in a heroic light. These stories of course earned the fox boy a smile from the Examiner. "Oh stop Naru-kun you're telling me Jiraiya-sama screamed like a little girl when girls found out he was peeping on them?" Anko couldn't suppress her giggles when she thought about Jiraiya screaming in such a manner.

"It's true!" Naruto grinned in that special way which must be genetic because his father smiled in the same exact way. Naruto put his arm around Anko's shoulder feeling more comfortable around her now that he realized she wasn't going to kidnap him and torture him. Anko blushed bright red when she felt him put an arm around her. She was one of the many who had seen him change from a loud mouthed idiot, into being one of the best ninja in the village, and like many of the women, she was smitten with him. It had been noticed by many that Anko had become a completely different woman since Orochimaru had died. Still she was the same scary lady who used snake jutsu, thrown skewers from her dango into trees to make a picture, and over all someone who was extremely hostile when provoked.

At Ichiraku…(A/N: Yes time for more Gai insanity!)

"Hello Teuchi! May I say you look most youthful today! And your daughter has the flames of youth burning in her as well! Though it looks like her face is a strange shade of red." Gai stated boldly as he struck the good guy pose yet again.

"That's because my daughter is lovesick." Teuchi replied as worked on making sure the broth for ramen was just right. "Is that so? Who is she smitten with?" Gai's teeth suddenly gleamed with light shining brightly.

"Who else? Our number one customer, Naruto!" Teuchi laughed softly, which became louder when he saw Ayame blush bright red from embarrassment. "TOU-SAN!" Ayame screamed out feeling even more embarrassed since she hadn't even told Naruto yet, and her father had figured it out. Teuchi and Gai laughed loudly, since it was as they felt it adorable to behold. Ayame of course was simply embarrassed, she wanted to tell Naruto but it was hard to tell him.

And back with Naruto and Anko.

"I have to go Naruto…I haven't thanked you properly for ridding us of Orochimaru…" she then pushed Naruto against a wall and kissed him deeply. Naruto simply closed his eyes, while blushing faintly. It was a bit shocking at first, but Naruto found he liked it Naruto had pulled her close returning the kiss. After a few minutes Anko broke the kiss and blushed, "We'll have to go on another date Naru-kun, and thank you for getting rid of Orochimaru for me, and for the village…" she then backed away from him still blushing, before leaping off to go where she needed to be. '…I sure seem to attract the unusual ones eh heh…but Anko is really pretty if you think about it…' Naruto thought quietly with a faint blush on his face.

Naruto just blushed before walking to Ichiraku Ramen, he was still a bit hungry he just needed one bowl to make him full. He sat down at his usual seat, having passed Gai-sensei as he reached the stand. "I'll have the Hokage in Training Special Ramen…Naruto size." this ramen meal was a combination of all meats in a miso broth, and the Naruto size portion was a size they had just for Naruto.

"Coming right up…and because this is your billionth bowl of ramen…you get a special prize." Teuchi smiled at Naruto as he began to prepare Naruto's ramen for him. Naruto smiled at the mention of special prize, he liked prizes cause they were always good. "Cool what do I win?" Naruto grinned as he shifted his attention to Ayame who he saw was blushing again. "You get to marry Ayame!" Teuchi proudly proclaimed, at which Naruto and Ayame had shocked, yet blushing faces. Naruto then fell backwards off the stool which he had been sitting on. "Naruto-kun!" was all Ayame could say as she ran around to help Naruto up. As luck would have it Teuchi pulled out a camera and took a picture of this smiling happily.

After Naruto and Ayame had collected their composure they looked at Teuchi like he had gone mad. "At the rate you two were going there was no way you two would get together! And I am quite serious!" Teuchi calmly stated before setting out two bowls of ramen at the stand. "Now consider this your first date." he said before laughing heartily enjoying this change. Naruto and Ayame sat at the stand not quite understanding but they both figured they should just go with it.

"Tou-san you're not just doing this for publicity just because Naruto-kun is going to be the next Hokage are you?" Ayame was quick to ask before starting to eat her ramen. Naruto was already eating his ramen, it was delicious beyond compare in his mind, though it would be a far cry from the truth if he said he only ate here because of the food. Anyone could tell he came to see Ayame, just Naruto and Ayame were a bit slow to tell each other how they felt, heck it's the reason why Ino tried to keep Naruto away. Of course Ino thought every girl was prettier than she was.

"No of course not…I'm doing this because you two are cute together…and don't you dare think I haven't noticed!" he chuckled in a fatherly manner as he watched Ayame and Naruto on their date. It was probably the happiest he had seen Ayame, if you didn't count her reaction when Naruto came back three years ago.

Meanwhile at the Hokage Tower

"I see so the Raikage sent you here as per the arrangement for peace…you will meet Naruto tomorrow and the wedding ceremony shall take place in about three weeks." Tsunade was calm and relaxed, the things she had to do just to maintain peace between Kumo and Konoha. She couldn't believe who the Raikage had sent for the political marriage…she had heard Jiraiya's reports on this one. Yugito Nii another container of a demon, Tsunade knew that Yugito was just like Naruto.

"Why is that Hokage-sama? Shouldn't the political marriage take precedence?" Yugito was quick to ask, feeling she was being delayed by some plot.

"True…but Naruto has two weddings already…one to Ino Yamanaka, another to the Hyuuga Heiress, so had we known you would be arriving today we would of arranged for such…" Tsunade was being as honest as she could. She knew that the Raikage had sent this girl here to assassinate Naruto. Send a demon to kill a demon…but neither were demons, just containers.

"Fine…where will I be staying then?" The female container asked with the most calmness she could muster.

"This ANBU squad will take you to your temporary housing…" Tsunade motioned as ten ANBU ninja entered the room and quickly left with the Cloud Ninja. Tsunade knew that Naruto would be able to handle Yugito, Naruto would probably reason with her and get her to see the light, like he had in the past, the kid wasn't likely to die until he becomes Hokage, and even after that it wasn't likely he would die then.

Annnnnnd back with Naruto!

Naruto had finished his meal of ramen, and was now telling her another of his stories that couldn't have possibly happened, except maybe in a parallel world where nothing makes much sense. Of course it was all quite true, because the story was about Jiraiya being beaten to a pulp by some girls at a hot spring. "And that's when Ero-Sennin screams like a little girl." after Naruto said this Ayame giggled. Of course Jiraiya was standing behind them and there were tears running down his face.

"Naruto I thought we had an agreement…you weren't supposed to tell anyone about that. I thought we were friends huh?" Jiraiya was a bit irritated that his student was telling that story to almost every girlfriend he had now. "No Ero-Sennin…the agreement was I wouldn't tell anyone that you still lov-" Naruto was cut off by Jiraiya clamping a hand down over Naruto's mouth. Jiraiya was nervously laughing, because he didn't want that to slip out ever. "Now, now…I don't think anyone needs to be hearing that, mostly because it's private!" Jiraiya's eye twitched heavily this wasn't something he wanted anyone to know especially the person he was reportedly accused of being in love with still.

"Naruto…you really shouldn't intentionally embarrass Jiraiya." Ayame managed to say before giggling again. Jiraiya side and stopped covering Naruto's mouth, he wouldn't be able to live that one down ever. "So say I accidentally let it out then its okay?" Naruto asked sheepishly, Jiraiya's eye twitched. He didn't like the sound of that, he liked living with out embarrassment.

"Why do I suddenly feel like there is impending doom?" he craned his head around to see behind something, with pink hair, green eyes, a red dress and cracking its knuckles. Sakura Haruno, Tsunade's apprentice, and little to Naruto's knowledge someone he was supposed to be on a date with tonight. "Naruto! You are supposed to be on a date with me right now…not with the girl who feeds you Ramen! Jiraiya was supposed to inform you of that!" Naruto was then sent to the ground with a punch to the top of the head.

"Ouch!" Naruto screamed out, he then stood up and glared at Jiraiya who was laughing in enjoyment. "YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO TELL ME STUFF LIKE THIS!" before Naruto could hit Jiraiya over the head, he was dragged away by the strongest kunoichi in Konohagakure.

"There goes your fiancé Ayame, hope your ready to fight for his attention." Jiraiya calmly said with the infamous smirk of Jiraiya on his face. Ayame just rolled her eyes, she didn't need to fight for Naruto, she could get his attention with Ramen, she knew the secret recipe of the Ichiraku Ramen.

Back with Ino and the decorating committee…

Ino returned and was about to go Bridezilla on her reluctant decorating crew. Shikamaru, Chouji, and Kiba were cowering in fear of Ino the most brutal bride to be was becoming more hostile. "Oh man where is Naruto when we need someone to take the heat off…" smack, Ino hit Shikamaru right over the head before he could complain anymore.

"Anymore complaining and you will be charged with the task of fetching Naruto from forehead girl!" Ino quickly threatened the three men who quickly gulped and nodded franticly. That was an impossible task, and all who were charged with the task would be brutally beaten to a pulp. "We'll be good…" they quickly replied in unison in fear of Ino whom they dubbed the bride from hell.

Annnnnnd back with Naruto…

"Sakura-chan, was it really necessary to hit me over the head?" Naruto rubbed his head feeling a lump that was forming from the force of the punch. He didn't quite know why Sakura suddenly showed an interest in him, but he wasn't going to complain.

"To make a point, never be late to our dates from now on…or else I will put chakra behind the punches." with that said the pink haired kunoichi then flicked Naruto's forehead with a gentle smile. Naruto couldn't help but smile at her before eating some of the food Sakura had brought for them to eat. Fried chicken, strawberries, tea, and she brought some ramen just for Naruto. "I brought foods you would like, greasy, sweet, ramen, tea…and of course me."

"Not hitting me?" it had been this fact about Sakura that cause Naruto to end up with Ino. Simply put Ino, didn't try to knock his teeth down his throat for an honest mistake. It was easier to get results by yelling at him, and forcing him to go shopping with her.

"Yes, as long as you conduct yourself like an adult." She calmly threatened, Naruto just nodded his head since he didn't quite like the idea of being hit again. "Okay then lets eat!"

Shortly after they had started eating, the impossible happened, Naruto was full! Never had this been recorded he always had room for more, but he ate most of the food by himself. But the unimportance of food had given them time to talk finally. A thing they hadn't done since they were younger. Somehow in the three years they simply just grew apart, and Ino become more dominant in Naruto's life.

"Naruto…did you know Jiraiya-sama, and Tsunade-sama were married?" Sakura looked to Naruto who she was latched to. Naruto nodded softly, he had known for a while, he was told it was a secret. "Yeah I know…dunno why they ended up divorced but I think it has to do with him being a pervert." Naruto chimed in quietly, he then looked to Sakura quietly as he remembered exactly why he had a crush on her when he was younger.

"You know…I always found your forehead to be one of your best defined features. It's what makes you, you." Naruto smiled softly and kissed her on the forehead. Sakura blushed in a way that her cheeks for the moment matched her hair, and then things started clicking. She realized back when they had just become a teen, it was really Naruto disguised as Sasuke saying those sweet things to her. This caused her to blush even more.

"Naruto…why is it you ended up with Ino-pig? You just quit showing interest in me one day. Why?" Sakura asked calmly as she regained her composure. She never quite understood why her biggest fan just completely gave up on her.

"Too many mixed signals, and you always hit me, and Ino never did anything like that." Naruto didn't have any other reasons for why, other than the obvious he thought Ino was pretty, and he appreciated the kindness she had shown him after he returned from training with Jiraiya.

"Oh…I guess I learned a lot from Tsunade but still I was a bit stupid…I let you get away…" the pink haired Kunoichi looked down slightly. Sakura jumped slightly when she felt herself being pulled into a gentle embrace. Her face turned the most interesting shade of pink, much like the flower for which she is named.

"You know, you have another chance Sakura-chan…" Naruto gave Sakura his most genuine smile, he just simply stared deep into her eyes. Sakura blushed again when her gaze met his, in that moment she began to understand how Hinata felt when she was around Naruto.

Sakura nodded and rested her head on Naruto's shoulder, she relaxed slowly and just nestled close to him. She smiled serenely, "Thank you Naruto-kun..." she quietly said as she snuggled close. She had never thought she would of gotten a second chance with Naruto but thanks to this old law she had a chance to be with Naruto again. "Naruto…if you become like Jiraiya I will have to hurt you…no divorce for you…you will suffer if you're a pervert." Sakura somehow managed to slip in one threat, one last threat.

"No problem there…you can trust me!" Naruto would sooner die than be like the Ero-Sennin, he had no shame whatsoever, Naruto could just see Jiraiya proudly proclaiming that he was a super pervert. Naruto smiled and stroked Sakura's head softly as he held her close. "You don't have to worry about me being like him." he calmly reassured her with a genuine smile. And then as the sun slowly set in the horizon the two shared a soft, and tender kiss, enjoying a moment of true happiness.

As nature has it the most perfect moments are always ruined, just then a huge sunset backdrop appeared out of nowhere. And the two most embarrassing ninja in Konoha stood giving a good guy pose. Who else but Lee, and Gai, they always did this for no reason. Oddly enough, the third person there was Tenten, who was growling and clenching her fists.

Smack, Crack! "Can't you two be serious for moment with out it turning into a drama!?" Tenten fumed for a moment. "NOW STOP FOLLOWING ME! AND STOP THE SPEECHES ABOUT SPRINGTIME OF YOUTH ITS GETTING EMBARASSING YOU TWO!" Tenten huffed angrily before putting on a cheerful face.

Naruto and Sakura just stared at this scene, Naruto wasn't so much shocked considering the recent events in his life that made no sense. So the sweet Tenten suddenly bashing her former team mate, and former sensei over the head wasn't so shocking.

"Naruto-kun!" Tenten quickly ran over standing at a distance her eyes sparkling lightly. Naruto of course became more nervous since he knew what was coming up. "I would like for you to come over to my apartment tomorrow evening for dinner." there it was, Naruto eyed Sakura cautiously afraid that another cat fight would erupt.

"Tenten…couldn't you wait until my date with Naruto-kun was over?" numerous veins popped out of Sakura's forehead. Naruto quickly nodded to answer Tenten's question. And that's when it happened the weapon mistress, and the chakra mistress began to argue.

"I don't see any reason why I can't! You don't own Naruto!" Tenten hastily replied, and Naruto's eye twitched.

"Naruto! You are now my eternal rival! I am jealous of your luck with women! I too hope to have as much youthfulness as you!" before Lee could continue he was struck across the head by the two arguing women.

"SHUT UP LEE!" the two women shouted out as they momentarily stopped their arguing. Naruto was being pulled back and fourth between the two like he were a rag doll. Naruto envied the unconscious Lee at this moment, because he knew this argument would continue into the wee hours of the next morning.

"Another day…another insane situation…dad…did you go through this too…" Naruto managed to mutter as the two kunoichi continued to jerk him back and fourth.

Naruto eventually got to finish his date with Sakura but not after Tenten and Sakura's fight escalated. Naruto had finally managed to get home and as he sneaked through the apartment he carefully cracked his door open making sure there was no one waiting for him this time. He sighed with relief when there was no one in his room. He then heard a knock at the door, and sighed softly. He dragged his feet behind him as he walked to the door and opened it slightly, and his face turned pale as he saw Gaara standing there.

"Naruto…what's this I heard about you dating Temari…?" hoo boy Gaara didn't sound amused. He sounded as amused as Kakashi when someone took Icha Icha Paradise.

"Gaara I can explain!" Naruto was tired…very tired, and Gaara decided now was the time to talk as he used his sand albeit weaker now to push the door open.

"Then…explain…" the unamused red head walked in and sat down at the kitchen table. Naruto quickly sat down keeping a safe distance from Gaara. "I already know about the polygamy deal…but my problem is…you…"

Naruto rubbed his temples afraid of what Gaara would say next, he knew Gaara had a temper that matched Tayuya's and that in itself was scary.

"You didn't ask me to set you up…" At this Naruto's jaw hung open in shock before his face hit the table. This couldn't have been any stranger, Gaara wasn't amused that Naruto didn't ask for help. "…Naruto…you are going to make me the best man for the upcoming wedding right?"

Naruto just chuckled at this and smiled at his best friend, "Of course I am. Gaara you're my best friend!" with that the two laughed, no one had ever really heard Gaara laugh in a natural way. Only Naruto had ever heard this.

The next day…

Naruto had been free of harassment for a change so he decided to go check out the mansion since he would be living here quite soon. He heard a rustling in the near by tree, and he looked up to see several of his friends hiding in the tree. "Shikamaru shouldn't you be laying in the grass watching the clouds…or something?"

"Not with Ino acting so psycho…how troublesome…I pity whoever ends up teaching the children you two spawn…hyper and bossy…" the lazy bum said before muttering about how it was a drag. Naruto shook his head, and threw a pebble at Shikamaru, knocking the bum out of the tree.

"What the hell Naruto?!" the lazy Shikamaru didn't enjoy injuring his pride.

"I have enough on my plate today with out you guys getting me dragged into decorating for my wedding." when he finished that sentence he received glares from, Shino, Chouji, Shikamaru, and Kiba.

"GET HIM! He should be the one stuck with Bridezilla all the time!" Kiba loudly shouted. Naruto's face turned pale as he saw four of his friends cracking their knuckles ready to give Naruto a beat down.

(Author's Note: I felt like a Benny Hill chase scene so if you know the music picture it being played.)

Naruto quickly spun on his heel and began to run away, as the four angry friends. He skidded as he rounded a corner and continued onward trying to get away from them. Fortunately alley was too wide for Akamaru and Kiba to run down, so they ran around to the other side of the alley and blocked it off, Naruto skidded to a stop and looked left and right as Kiba, came from one side, Shino, Shikamaru, and Chouji from the other. He quickly ran up the side of one of the buildings, just in the nick of time as the four pursuers crashed right into each other.

The four quickly followed him up to the roof tops and began to chase after him again, and as the passed a billboard Naruto pulled away a cloak that he used to hide with as they chased his clone, and laughed in a cheeky manner. The four turned and saw Naruto and began to chase him again, Naruto then jumped down into the street and began running faster weaving between people trying to get away.

He couldn't avoid crashing into a hugging Lee and Gai, and after the four pursuers passed the knocked down Lee and Gai, they too joined in the chase. Of course they shouted something about the flames of youth.

Just then the pursuit passed Ino, Sakura, Temari, Tenten, and Hinata causing them to give chase too. The five women looked absolutely furious as they began to chase those that wanted to hurt Naruto, even Hinata…and when the Hyuuga Heiress is angry watch the fuck out!

Just then the Naruto they had all been chasing vanished it turned out to be another Kage Bunshin, and the pursuit stopped, except for Gai and Lee who kept running until they were standing in midair, and they looked down for a moment then looked back. "Would you believe it?" the two said in monotone as they fell down to the river below. It would seem that Naruto was still the ultimate trickster.

Meanwhile at the Hokage Tower…

"Okay Baa-chan…I'm here" and with that Tsunade sent him flying into the wall with a flick to the forehead.

"STOP CALLING ME THAT! I AM NOT OLD!" The Godaime Hokage said with a twitching eye. "Now sit down and be good until she gets here…"

Naruto sat down in a chair, rubbed his forehead, even if he could regenerate it still hurt, it wasn't like he possessed Gai's weird thick skull. His attention turned to a young girl who had just entered the room. When he saw her hitae-ate he began to freak out, a ninja from Kumogakure what the hell was going on. The Cloud Ninja were enemies or so he thought.

"Naruto its been decided that you shall marry Yugito Nii, the girl sitting to your right, in three weeks. This is simply a political marriage to ensure a ninja war doesn't happen between the two villages." The Godaime knew that this would be a chaotic situation, she could tell by the way the two were looking at each other they didn't really trust the other.

"This is the fearsome Uzumaki? He's no older than I am." the girl coldly and arrogantly made her point as she glared at Naruto.

"Well excuse me…I didn't know you were expecting some stoic possibly closet case! You have to look underneath the underneath." Naruto grinned at her, and didn't even stop when she glared at him.

"Naruto. Show Yugito around the village for a while, help her get situated in her new home." Tsunade prepared to flick his forehead again if he tried to argue his way out of it.

"Hai…Hokage-sama…" Naruto felt a chill run down his back when he was being polite to the old hag. But he didn't need another flick to the forehead. He stood up and walked to the door slowly. "I'm ready whenever you are."

"Alright Uzumaki…but my safety is in your hands. Don't screw up." The girl coldly said as she walked out the door. Naruto quickly followed her, he didn't trust her very much, he felt like she would try to kill him while he slept.

Sometime later…

"Okay so I showed you the clothing store, the grocery store, the training grounds, the hospital, weapons store, and now the pinnacle of the village, Ichiraku Ramen." Naruto was glad the tour of the village was finally over.

"And what are those two?" the blonde kunoichi asked as she pointed at Konoha's strong yet most embarrassing ninja in another hug fest.

"My advice is try to ignore them when they do stuff like that…its painful to watch." he gave a somewhat sarcastic look as he looked away from them. Just then Lee ran up to Yugito and went into the good guy pose. "You are a vision of beauty! Will you be my girlfriend!" the disturbingly energetic taijutsu expert proclaimed, at this Yugito just blinked looking at the buggy eyed Jonin. He was unusual, very, very unusual.

"Sorry…I'm engaged!" She grabbed hold of Naruto's arm and pulled him close to her. This would be the only way to get the creepy, bug eyed, and overly energetic ninja away from her.

"I see! That is why you are my eternal rival Naruto! Your fires of youth burn more brightly than mine! I must try to be as youthful as you!" With that the annoying Lee ran off and began to run laps around the village. Naruto, and Yugito simply watched with horror.

"…I hope that weirdo will leave me alone now…" Yugito didn't want to admit but her skin crawled at the fact a guy with giant eyebrows was hitting on her. Maybe marrying this apparent dolt named Naruto wasn't so bad.

Elsewhere: THIS SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY! Watch as we present Bridezilla verses everyone!

"KIBA GET THE PODIUM IN PLACE, SHINO STOP PLAYING WITH BEETLES AND HELP SET UP THE CHAIRS, SAKURA STOP DAY DREAMING ABOUT NARUTO AND DO SOMETHING HELPFUL! AND GAARA…er you just keep on doing whatever it is you're doing…" Ino was once again ordering everyone around as she continued to be in Bridezilla mode.

"Ino calm down…your starting to sound like a certain Red Head…only you're not cussing yet." A dark haired girl calmly said as she tried to mediate some peace in the clearing turned wedding hall.

"Kin I don't think that's such a good idea…one Ino is always this bossy…and two Tayuya is right behind you. Now you're life wasn't saved by Naruto just so Tayuya could kill you 7 years later." Chouji quietly said before being struck over the head with a folding chair by Ino.

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING BOSSY!?" Ino was on the rampage, fortunately Sakura snuck up and administered some sedative. This fortunately gave them a sigh of relief, when Ino sat down in a chair acted calmer.

"Okay we have two hours before Bridezilla returns. Get the chairs set up, get the decorations put in place, and for the love of the will of fire! Get them set up according to her plan…" the pink haired Kunoichi gave out the orders, then her attention shifted to Tenten sneaking away. "Where do you think you are going!?"

"I have to get started cooking Dinner for Naruto." Tenten then vanished leaving a swirl of leaves. Sakura's eye twitched, simply because it took every fiber of her being to not attack Tenten. "SHA! WHO THE HELL DOES SHE THINK SHE IS! ITS BAD ENOUGH I HAVE TO SHARE NARUTO WITH INO-PIG, AND THE MOST TIMID GIRL IN THE VILLAGE BUT NOW TENTEN!? IF I HAD MY WAY NARUTO WOULD BE MINE AND MINE ALONE!" the inner Sakura was on a rampage, Sakura was still twitching with anger.

Annnd back with Naruto and Yugito…

"I guess I can stomach being married to you…it would seem you aren't as moronic as I had pegged you for." the blonde girl didn't seem to hold any punches. 'Despite the fact he acts like an idiot…he seems to be very warm…something I never felt in Kumogakure…no I have to keep focused on the mission the Raikage wants Konoha's Uzumaki dead…' her thoughts were troubled, and conflicted.

She would have to kill Naruto…but she didn't see why, from all she could see he was just a warm compassionate man. Well he practices polygamy that's a bit weird, but other than that he's a nice guy. She would have to worry about the complications later. She could simply not go through with it, she was after all outside the Raikage's sphere of influence.

"I better show you home Yugito…I have to be somewhere in a little bit." he froze in place when she glared at him. The very fact that he had a prior engagement seemed to make the Nibi's container exude immense jealousy. "I will see you tomorrow though…so please don't be too angry!"

"Okay then Naruto…you better keep your word…because I will find you and hold you to that promise." She smirked as he walked her to her accommodations. She didn't know why but he seemed to respond well to threats but that's because she didn't know about the other women in his life. Once they reached her apartment she walked in and slammed the door in his face.

"Have a nice day Yugito…" he scratched his head in shock of what she just did. He thought she was warming up to him but yeesh that was harsh. He then decided to get ready for his dinner date with Tenten while he could.

Hours later at Tenten's house

Naruto knocked at the door he had a bouquet of flowers, he was ever the gentleman especially when around Tenten who was one of his closest friends. When the door opened he was visibly drooling. Not from the smell of good cooking, no, it was because Tenten was the vision of beauty. Who would of known that if she let her hair down, and wore a cheong-sam(Chinese dress) she would be beyond beautiful. "Naruto-kun? Hello?" Tenten waved a hand in front of Naruto's face. She never knew this would happen.

"Eh heh….sorry about that Ten-chan!" he smiled a tad embarrassed of his drooling. Not that there was anything to be ashamed of. It just made him look a tad perverted, but given the fact that Tenten was a beauty under normal circumstances. Naruto just never saw her well dressed up, and there it happened he began to stammer much like the lovely Hyuuga Heiress. "Y-You l-look v-ver-very lov-lovely Ten-chan" he blushed and handed her the bouquet of flowers.

Tenten giggled and took the bouquet of flowers from Naruto, in all her years she had never seen him so shy. Hell no one had ever seen him this nervous or quiet with out food or Ino around. It was for the most part funny, she then took his hand and lead him into her apartment. She made him sit down on the couch and smiled sweetly at him. "Sit there. I have to finish cooking supper."

Naruto nodded while still blushing, he wondered if he had this kind of effect on Hinata since she was prone to stuttering and blushing when he was around. He found that Tenten was having that effect on him, it was amazing he had never seen Tenten in that light ever but, now, now she was a vision of beauty! Naruto realized the one thing that made him think, her name was Tenten, and his birthday is October, Tenth. If he was like Neji once was he would think it was destiny.

Just then Naruto's eyes were covered he leaned his head back and smiled softly. "I wonder who is covering my eyes…" he rubbed his chin and smiled happily. He knew it could only be the beautiful Tenten. "Could it be the beautiful girl who invited me to dinner?"

Tenten giggled as she moved around to the front while keeping Naruto's eyes covered. She then sat on his lap and smiled sweetly as she uncovered his eyes. The food was ready, but she wouldn't pass up this chance to spend some much needed time with Naruto. She wouldn't get another chance like this. She leaned in slowly and planted a soft affectionate kiss on his lips.

"Dinner is ready but…I want to spend time with you…" she smiled sweetly as she nuzzled her face into the blonde's neck. She seemed to be enjoying this moment for all its worth. She looked deep into his eyes and smiled, she saw something that she could never see in the Hyuuga prodigy's, kindness. This was exactly what attracted her to Naruto, in the first place.

"Lets have dinner then we can return to this." Tenten smiled as she got off of Naruto's lap and helped him to his feet. She then lead him to the table, there was quite the meal in front of them all Chinese dishes, which was no surprise since Tenten seemed to enjoy the Chinese culture. And the two of them began to eat, the meal was quite loved by the blonde as Tenten had expected.

The two of them were now sitting on the couch, Naruto's arm was around her shoulder, and Tenten was practically glowing with happiness. She then moved so she was straddling his lap, her eyes were looking deep into his as she leaned close and kissed him deeply. Naruto ran his fingers through her hair as he returned the kiss, his face turned red when Tenten started to kiss his neck. "Ten-chan we better stop before we go too far."

He was cut off when Tenten put a finger to his lips, "I won't hear any of that Naruto Uzumaki." she grabbed his hand and led him to her room. Now this would not be the first time the Kyuubi container had done something intimate with a girl. In fact Naruto's first time was with his fiancé, one Ino Yamanaka, it was a few months back, but that's a special SS class secret that no one needs to hear about especially her father. "I want for you to make love to me tonight Naruto-kun…I love you…and I know that if I didn't dance around the subject I would have been your girlfriend sooner…so please do this for me…I want you to be my first!"

Needless to say that night there was a fair amount of racket coming from Tenten's apartment. Of course, the good news was Tenten's apartment was soundproofed so not much of the noise escaped. This hopefully wouldn't come around to bite him on the ass, hopefully.

The next day...at some point…

Naruto and Tenten had spent a good part of the night making love, Tenten was sleeping soundly, and with a smile on her face that put his to shame. It was safe to say that Naruto did a good job. He was also sound asleep, meaning for the first time he might have become exhausted. All he knew was he enjoyed it, and he didn't know some of the things they did were even possible.

"Wake up Naruto-kun…it's already noon…" the brunette cooed softly as she tried to wake Naruto up. She quickly gave up though and just snuggled close. It was too comfortable to bother not being like this. She then closed her eyes and just continued to rest with her lover feeling complete when she was with him. It was futile to even bother getting out of bed, but then paradise was lost when Gai and Lee made a Dynamic Entrance into her room.

"GAI-SENSEI! Tenten has done something most unyouthful!" Lee cried out in shock to find his teammate and friend sharing the same bed.

"DON'T LOOK LEE! Tenten has done something she should have waited until she was married to do!" Gai quickly commented before the two hugged and began to cry. This was enough to wake Naruto up, his eyes had gone Kyuubi…no wait he was just tired.

"GET OUT OF THIS ROOM NOW OR I WILL HIT YOU WITH FUUTON RASENGAN!" Naruto quickly threatened as he sat upwards. This of course caused Lee and Gai to leave Tenten's apartment in fear. Naruto muttered about idiots in spandex and snuggled close to Tenten wanting to get some rest.

The next day…

Naruto having fully rested up left Tenten's apartment early at the crack of noon, he hadn't expected that to tire him that much but it had. He was hoping he wouldn't run into Yugito though…he promised to spend yesterday with her but considering the situation it couldn't be helped. Then it happened she grabbed him by the collar of his coat and dragged him away. "You owe me a date Naruto."

"Yes Yugito dear…" he sighed as she dragged him off, another day another impossibly crazy situation. Speaking of which, he had promised Tayuya he would meet her for drinks tonight, he better get something for the hang over then.

"This place looks good." She pointed to the sign, and Naruto saw it was the Sushi restaurant not exactly his cup of tea. But if it would make her chill out then so be it. Once in the restaurant Naruto looked at the menu for a while and just decided to go with whatever looked best.

"I saw the freaks running out of your girlfriends house...screaming about unyouthful things…so I knew you were there. I could have dragged you of there…but I well…" the container of the Nekomata blushed deep red, she simply didn't feel ready to see him naked. "But if you stand me up ever again I will hurt you. You promised to take me to dinner yesterday after all."

"Hai I know Yugito-chan…but I was really tired…I wont stand you up ever again." he was simply afraid that she would hurt him next time he did it. 'Wait…did I just call her Yugito-chan? I hardly know her…' he saw her face become a deeper shade of red. He then blushed softly…he wondered what it was about her that reminded him of a cat. There was the fact she had slanted eyes…and a love of fish. "You sure like sushi Yugito-chan…"

"Like you have room to talk Naruto-kun…I heard you inhale ramen like its going out of style!" she quipped with a smirk, then she realized she called him Naruto-kun. She had no clue why but she was finding herself growing fond of this boy who looked like he was a fox. What she didn't know was she had more in common with him than that.

Sometime later…after she had tried every kind of Sushi…

"Thank you for a wonderful day Naruto-kun…" she then kissed him on the cheek and walked off. Naruto just stood their staring in disbelief of what had just happened. The girl he just met had started to warm up to him, he checked his watch then and saw it was time to get to the bar for drinks with Tayuya. And he simply groaned some he wondered how the red head acted when she was drunk. Maybe he would be lucky and she would be a happy drunk. It after all did wonders for Tsunade, she seemed a lot friendlier when she was drunk s'long as you don't call her baa-chan.

At the bar…

"Naruto! About time you got here numb nuts!" That wasn't as bad as the usual insults she used, he saw the empty bottle of something on the bar and could only guess. He sat down next to her and asked for a bottle of tequila(don't ask I just like tequila!).

"To whatever!" Naruto cheerfully said and downed some of the strong alcohol and he coughed slightly. "MAN THAT SHIT BURNS!"

"I knews I could corrupts ya shooner or laters…" Tayuya's language was slurred slightly due to her inebriated state.

Several rounds, and toasts later…

The duo slinked out of the bar, hanging off of each other, Naruto was less intoxicated than the redhead. Tayuya giggled like a school girl as she looked at Naruto. "Can ya keep a secret?"

"I guessss I kin try….whatsh yer sheeecret?" Naruto stumbled some as he walked Tayuya home he was starting to feel the alcohol, though slightly his metabolism worked a bit faster.

"I'm in love withs a guy named Naruto…but…when I's aroundshim I jusht end up cushing at 'im and scareshim…" she smiled in her drunken state. She then looked at Naruto and realized it was him and giggled again. "Oopsh guessh I told him….hehehe!"

Tayuya's apartment the next morning…

Needless to say they finally reached her apartment, but the two were so drunk they threw all sense of restraint to the wind and ended up having sex that night. But now it was morning, and nothing like that reaction to knowing you did that with someone you didn't expect. The neighbors sure knew what was going on since the girl pretty much advertised it.

"Where am I…?" Naruto muttered quietly as he looked around the room, he then saw a female figure lying on top of him. He blushed, yet became ghostly pale at the same time. Not exactly how he wanted that evening to go. He had no plans of waking up in bed with Tayuya the next morning. He just hoped he didn't do anything stupid.

The red head looked up and saw Naruto under her and she turned red, both in anger and embarrassment. She looked around for her flute to hit him over the head but she couldn't find it. Just then she shouted three words and three words alone. "WHAT. THE. FUCK!?" these of course were punctuated with one word said in unison. "Ouch..." the hang over was there and it would seem even hangovers effected jinchuurikis.

Naruto sighed and held his head, this was going to be a very strange day since tomorrow he was getting married. Hopefully nothing bad would stick with him today, cause this was a bad situation for him. VERY BAD! No one wanted to wake up next to Tayuya after a night of heavy drinking. 'Why did I suggest drinks?! Man I screwed up big this time…and Kyuubi if you say it I will have the Ero-Sennin apply the five elements seal.' Naruto sat up slowly almost fell out of bed, but decided to lie back down. Why did he suddenly have to have such good luck with women?
