17 CHAPTER 10

It came as a surprise to me when all of the team seven gained their first kill. It was a crucial experience for a Ninja. This was the moment that a human turns into a monster, or a tool for killing others. I am no saint. But I know. Taking someone's life is something that should not be in other's hands. Ninjas are soilders. So killing is inevitable. As long as one doesn't get any pleasures from it. My first kill was a bandit. And that he was gloating about how he has killed many women and children before also helped. But for team seven, it was do or die condition. Among the three of them Sasuke took it the best. He didn't even vomited. Even I had vomited after my first kill. Surprisingly Sakura took it better than Naruto. And that's not the end. Zabuza was severely injured. And no one has the medical expertise to save him. That affected Naruto as well. So he was in his worst. He had asked me about my shinobi life before. And I had told him about the harsh reality. But it seemed he wasn't ready for the bitter truth. And then there is Haku. Well I have explained about his condition to the Hokage and asked him to let Haku join the leaf. Zabuza had wanted him to live. And Haku has nowhere to go. Hokage has agreed to let him join the village as long as he stays loyal to hidden leaf. Of course there are other conditions, but those will be discussed in leaf. Haku's loyalty was with Zabuza. And no one else. He was not even affiliated with any hidden village. So it was the best way for him to live.

After Zabuza's funeral, every member of team seven parted for some lone time. After taking care of Sasuke, Kakashi went to Sakura. So I went to Naruto. He was sitting on the shore. Looking at the moon above.

Sighing I went behind him and hugged him from behind wrapping my arms around his torso.

"You know.... when I first met you at the Ramen shop, you didn't seem like the protagonist of any shonen manga. You were a child. A lonely child. Even before you regained your memories, I loved you. And that's not going to change. I still love you.... But I don't see you in yourself. You are scared of most of the things but still you never ran away. So now what are you going to do ? Naruto Uzumaki ?"

"I am not running away. I... I just realised how fragile can our lives be. How easy it is to kill someone.....And I don't like it."

"Not everything in this world is likable."

"I know. Believe me. I know.... I....sigh... You are right. I have to move on. I have to try harder. As long as there is a second time for me, I will try harder. If I don't want to kill, then I have to become strong enough that I can defeat my opponents without killing them." Naruto declared. Well that's the thing I like about the Guy. His determination against the odds and loyalty are the things I liked the most. I moved infront of him and sitting on his laps, l locked lips with him. He was surprised at first. But soon he gave in. Our tongues wrestled with each other and after a few minutes, I won. I thoroughly explored his mouth. I started it without any influence of his cheat. But as time passed I started to feel the effect. By the time we parted, my crotch was so wet, that my pants have gained a dark spot.

"We should stop. I want our first time to be memorable. " Naruto said to me. I have no problems with it So we parted. Suddenly there was a sound of camera clickingm. We suddenly turned to look at the trees. Naruto threw a kunai in the general direction. A dark figure came out with a camera. It was Kakashi.

A mix of shame and anger swelled up inside me. Next moment Naruto was frantically chasing after Kakashi.

'I am really going to burn his icha icha collection.'

But there was another strange feeling that I felt. It was pride.

'I shouldn't be ashamed of this. Technically and mentally we both are adults. So there is nothing wrong with it.'

...

After returning to the leaf we gave a mission report. Haku has been given his own appartment. He will be under surveillance for next year. He has shown interest in learning medical jutsu. So Hokage has given him a position in genin reserve corps. A few days after we came, the Hokage announced the chunin exams to the jonins of the village. I was given the role of security incharge during the second round of the chunin exams. But next day,I and Naruto got summoned by the Hokage. I don't know what's the real matter. Because I don't think he has called us for something serious especially Jiraya of the Sanin and Shikaku Nara in the room.

"This matter is very important. You do know your importance to this village, don't you Naruto ?" The hokage asked seriously.

"I am the Jinjuriki." Naruto also answered seriously.

"Yes. But there is another thing. You are the sole hair to not only the last Hokage, but also to the Uzumaki clan. The sister clan of konoha." A very serious Hokage explained.

"Now I will tell you about somethings that my student Jiraya has found out. Looking at your expression you know about it.?"

"I red it in library." Naruto answered quickly.

"Allright ! Then it will be easier to explain. You are a konoha ninja without any clan that is officially has a council seat.In this case, even if you are a man, if any political marriage happens between our Village and any other, then, you have to leave the village if the other party is related to a noble clan. And now is the root of the problem. Somehow there is a rumour of chibi Minato in black jumpsuit has been spreading in lightning country. And no matter what we do, the truth will come out sooner or later."

"What do you mean by political marriage ? I am the Jinjuriki. Doesn't that mean...."

"Let me finish Naruto, you will understand. In this chunin exams, not only daimyo of fire, but also the daimyo of lightning is also coming to the leaf village. Raikage and Kazekage will be coming as well. In case the talks happened between daimyo, we cannot refuse without any valid reason. And Jinjuriki's are not valid reason as originally they are only vessels to the biju."

"So I have no say in this ?" Naruto asked dejected.

"The thing is we are trying to avoid any unexpected situations." Shikaku explained.

"If we have enough time we could have added Uzumaki clan as a permanent member of the council. But now it's too late. So the only solution is for you to marry another leaf shinobi." Hokage continued.

"This was a secret. But your parents were officially married just after your mother got kidnapped by some kumo nins and your father saved him. It was a secret."

"So.... You are saying that I have to secretly marry someone."

"Yes, that's why we summoned you two. Ofcourse, you can break this up as long as there is no physical relationship between each other."

I can heard Jiraya giggling perversely. In my entire life, this is the day when I was too shocked to move. No one could have predicted it to develop in this way.
