5 Uzumaki x Uzumaki?

"Rise and shine, sunshine."

"Wh- Who are you?"

"Ah my bad, the Orb might've hit you on the head."

"Wait! You're the guy that was fighting Sasuke~kun! Where's he and how are you alive!?"

"Welp, your Sasuke~kun has left you behind. And I'm alive because I'm stronger than him."

"Im- Impossible! This is a genjutsu. Sasuke~kun would never leave me behind!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she tried a Genjutsu dispersal. But nothing happened. Sasuke had left her behind. This guy had defeated them and all those memories were not a fluke. Konoha had captured her. What would happen to her? Who was the man standing in front of him? If she was captured, what was she doing outside of the leaf? Before her mind flooded with more questions, the blondie spoke once again.

"I know, I know. There must be a lot of questions in your head. But let's start it slow, okay? What's your name?"

"K- Karin Uzumaki."

"An Uzumaki, you say. Now tell me, Karin, do you want to go to the interrogation room of the leaf?"

"I get a choice?"

"Of course not. Please, don't get the wrong idea. You're a young lady and I thought that you might want to re-think your course of actions."

"Re-think my course of action? Am I supposed to join the Leaf as a shinobi and snitch on Sasuke~kun?"

"That's the summary of it. Wait, did you say Sasuke~kun? Don't tell me that there is another crazy fangirl behind him."

"What do you mean by another?"

"That's for another time but first let's have some introductions. I guess this will be a long talk."

Before Naruto could finish his sentence, he heard Karin's stomach growl. The redhead hid her head from embarrassment, while Naruto let out a silent chuckle. He created a shadow clone and told him to get 2 specials from Ichiraku. The shadow clone nodded and vanished. Naruto released all the Nature energy and sat down beside Karin, under the same tree. Noticing Naruto losing chakra, Karin asked.

"You're losing chakra, why make a shadow clone?"

"Oh don't worry, that was Senjutsu chakra. I'm not gonna need to fight right now, so why to focus on it?"

"You think I can't fight you?"

"Correction, you won't fight me. You're a sensory ninja, right? Use your skills to check my chakra."

Karin sighed as she looked at the blond ninja. 'His chakra is... so... bright and warm. This guy is the opposite of Sasuke. Wait. What is this? Deep inside him... A chakra like this!? So dark!' Karin's face was pure white from shock. Naruto let out an audible sigh.

"Found it, huh? That's the reason why I never get tired during a fight."

"W- What's with that chakra!? It's so dark! It almost seems-"

"Demonic. Yes, you're almost correct. It's not demonic but a tailed beast. The Kyubi to be exact."

"Y- you're t- the Nine Tail's Jinchuriki!?"

Naruto could see Karin's fear of him. He took a deep breath and started to move his left hand. 'Thank god ero-sennin taught me this.' Karin shut her eyes in fright as his hand approached her head but, she wasn't attacked. Instead, she felt a soft caress on her hair. The redhead opened her eyes, surprised.

"Don't worry, Karin. I won't hurt you. The Kyubi doesn't control me. He's inside me, sealed by my father. That seal is never breaking."

"H- how are you so sure?"

"Oh, where are my manners? I never introduced myself. I'm Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, the Rokudaime Hokage."

"Wait, did you say the Rokudaime Hokage?"

Upon hearing Naruto introduce himself, Karin got formal in an instant. She thought that she had to behave herself in front of the Hokage. She was a prisoner after all. She stood up for a bow but forgot that due to Naruto's orb hitting her, she didn't have a lot of stamina left. As soon as she stood up, she fell to the ground. Naruto noticed this and caught Karin mid-air and perched her down on his lap, her face a few inches away from his. Karin could only react with a mild blush before the blond Kage spoke.

"Oh hush, Karin~chan, you don't need to be so formal with me. Anyways, you like ramen?"

"C- Chan? Yes, I do like ramen."

"That's good to know, now do you want to know why I used that suffix, or do you want to eat first?"

"Eat? But there's no food around us?"

"By the distance between our faces, you can't even think of anything else. Look behind yourself, Karin~chan."

Karin, who was a blushing mess at this point, turned around on Naruto's lap and saw one large bowl of ramen with one chopstick. She thought that only Naruto got to eat, as she was the prisoner, but to her surprise, Naruto picked up the ramen bowl and started to feed her. He blew the bite and put it near her mouth.

"Be careful, Karin~chan, it's hot."

Karin could not blush more. She tried her best to hide her blush but there was no way. She continued to eat as Naruto fed her. This went on for a while before Naruto kept the ramen bowl on the side and turned Karin to face him. Karin pulled out a sealed mask to cover her blush and spoke.

"Stop it Naruto, something might happen."

Naruto didn't care at this point, he had fallen for the redhead. He didn't know much about her but he did love her. It was love at first sight. True love. He went on to take off Karin's mask and spoke up.

"Let it happen then."

"But-"

"Shh, damn the consequences. I'll handle them. I know you still feel hurt by Sasuke's betrayal. Let it all out."

Naruto pulled Karin in for a hug. For a few seconds, nothing happened but when Naruto started to caress her hair, tears started to drip down her cheeks. She started to let it out. All it. Her past and the many times she was betrayed. She cried for an hour before she fell asleep. Naruto created a shadow clone and placed Karin on his back. 'She must be tired from all that. I shouldn't wake her up.' Naruto started to sprint as he wanted to let the redhead rest. Upon arriving at the village gates, the guards noticed him coming right towards them. Kakashi, who happened to be walking by, noticed the Kage rushing towards the alerted guards. He walked up to the gate and talked to them.

"Izumo, Kotetsu. Calm down. It's Naruto. Looks like he has someone on his back. Make way because he doesn't like to be interrupted."

The guards calmed down and moved to the side. Naruto created a shadow clone as he dashed past the village gates.

"Sensei. I'm gonna need you for a meeting."

"Don't tell me that you've decided to bring the girl you captured while fighting Sasuke as a shinobi."

"How do you know?"

"Ino told everyone that you waited to talk with the girl. You know that we'll have to answer Sakura for this, right?"

"About that. All Konoha 11 and their senseis are gonna be in my office in 5 minutes. I'm taking Karin there. Don't be late."

With that, the shadow clone dispersed. Kakashi looked toward Kotetsu and Izumo. The guards looked away and started to whistle. Today was going to be a long day. Meanwhile, the Hokage Office was a mess!

"Naruto! You've got to interrogate her! She used to be Sasuke~kun's teammate! She must know where he is!"

As soon as Sakura entered the room, she began her rant about bringing back Sasuke as soon as she entered. Naruto was introducing Karin to the rest of the Konoha 11 and the jonins present there. Seeing the pink girl's sudden outburst, she hid behind Naruto's chair. Neji tried to interrupt Sakura but it was of no use. Before Sakura could continue her rant, a knock was heard. In came a certain Ibiki Morino, the commanding officer of the Konoha Torture and Interrogation Force. At the same time, a certain copy-ninja teleported beside Naruto.

"Ah Ibiki~san, glad you came."

"The pleasure is all mine, Hokage~sama. I was told that you wanted me to interrogate someone."

"Hai, Ibiki~san. Before that, do you mind helping me out with this real quick?"

"Sure, Hokage~sama."

"Sakura Haruno, could you repeat the demand you made to Ibiki~san?"

Karin didn't know what was going to happen but Naruto turned around and gave her a bright smile, which put her at ease. Several members of the meeting knew what was going on, the two were indeed into each other. Kakashi, who knew what was going to happen, took a deep breath and spoke first, in hopes to stop his student's foolishness. Though his pleas fell on deaf ears.

"Ibiki~san, this redhead behind Naruto used to be Orochimaru's test subject and Sasuke~kun's teammate. Naruto thinks that her words will be enough to prove her loyalty to Konoha. She must be interrogated for proof!"

Ibiki, knowing what Naruto planned, decided to play the mind game to trap Sakura. He replied to Sakura with a question.

"Shouldn't a brain check with the Yamanaka clan be enough?"

"No! We must know everything about her past! She must know something about Sasuke~kun! This is the golden chance to bring him back!"

Sakura had said it. She had revealed her real reason. Karin was shocked. Kakashi and the rest of Konoha 11 and their sensei held up a facepalm. Ibiki smirked. And Naruto started to laugh like a maniac. Sakura looked at her teammate and sensei in confusion. Kakashi spoke as Naruto calmed down.

"Oh my god, Sakura! How dumb can you be!? You went against an order from your Kage, to know about your Sasuke~kun. Not to mention that you did it in front of Ibiki! Kami knows what will happen to you."

"Ibiki~san, I believe you have found the person you need to interrogate."

"Hai, Hokage~sama. Any specific orders?"

Naruto looked back towards Karin, who was still pretty shaken by Sakura's words. A small tear left out his eye after seeing her like that. Naruto turned back and spoke to Ibiki while keeping up eye contact with Sakura.

"I'm giving her one last chance. Please put her on high surveillance 24/7 and if she gives the slightest hints of caring about Sasuke Uchiha, I want the most ruthless ex-ROOT ANBU to interrogate her. No leniency. If I find out that you went easy on her, I'll show you how the Kyubi interrogates people."

A chill went down everyone's spine as Naruto released some of the Kyubi's uncontrolled hatred. Sakura was wide-eyed. Naruto had betrayed her. Karin held Naruto's hand and spoke.

"Naru~, calm down. Please."

Naruto quickly collected all of the Kyubi's hatred and stopped releasing it at once. Karin gave him a warm smile, which made him focus back on Sakura. He took a book from Kakashi's hand and opened it.

"And Sakura, before you go, the leaf has released a new Bingo book. On page 25, we have a new entry replacing his brother. Sasuke Uchiha. Bounty 1,251,006 Ryo. We want him dead."

"H- Hai, Hokage~sama..."

With that, Naruto ordered Tora to teleport Sakura to her house. Ibiki just let out a sigh, bowed, and went out. Seeing the tense mood of the meeting, Naruto decided to dismiss the meeting. He wanted to talk to Karin a bit more. After everyone had walked out, Naruto turned to Karin and spoke.

"Welp that happened. Anyways Karin~chan, want to go for a walk?"

The two Uzumaki strolled outside of the Hokage tower. The sun had set a while ago. While walking, Naruto's hand touched Karin's hand. After a few seconds, he decided that it was now or never and held her hand. Karin looked towards the blond kage and spoke.

"What's on your mind, Naru~?"

"I just can't believe it. I met another Uzumaki and someone who didn't hate me after knowing what I hold. I mean my friends and senseis love me but you're different. You can calm me down in a second. It's like-"

"I'm your better half?"

"Exactly. Plus the fact that you are always correct makes it more interesting."

"And you love me for it."

"That I do, my kawaii lass~"

"You're too good at flirting, you know?"

"And you're too good at being perfect, you know?"

The two Uzumakis had a nice talk as they walked toward Naruto's home. This had been a long day indeed. They had made their type of relationship and possibly fallen in love.

(Flashback)

Naruto sat Karin down on his chair and gently woke her up.

"Wake up, Karin~chan."

"H- Huh? Where are we?"

"We're in my office. I've called a small meeting with my friends and their teachers to introduce you to them. But we're here 5 minutes early."

"Why's that?"

"Because I wanted to talk to you about something."

"Sure, Naruto. What is it?"

Before answering, Naruto turned his chair, with Karin on it, toward the window. It was a full moon shining bright toward them.

"The moon is beautiful isn't it?"

"Ar- Are you sure? You barely even know me and-"

"I know that I love you and that's all I need to know, Karin~chan."

"I- I don't know. I do like you too but I'm not sure."

"Still haven't gotten over Sasuke?"

"Yes... But I still like you too! The thing is I want to get over him but don't want you to be just a way. I want to be with you..."

"That's fine. We'll be friends."

"Just friends?"

"No, Karin~chan. I love you and you know that one day you might love me too. We won't jump into a relationship cause you're not ready for it. We'll wait for you. We'll go as far as you want. You make the rules."

"Then what kind of bond will we share?"

"We'll be Special Friends"

(End Of Flashback)

As they continued walking, Naruto looked at Karin and started singing a song. Karin joined in on her special friend and started a duet. They went on singing their duet till they arrived at Naruto's house. Naruto opened the door for Karin as a gentleman and Karin walked in giggling. She was surprised to see Naruto having a good house. From what Sasuke had told her, Naruto was an idiot who couldn't take care of himself but what she saw made her believe that Sasuke only wanted to use her to achieve his goals. The two Uzumakis went to sleep. Karin slept at ease knowing that Naruto wouldn't let anything happen to her.

Meanwhile, Naruto planned his next moves with the leaf. He had achieved his dream but now he had a lot of responsibilities and he made sure that he would give time to those special to him. What would he do next? Would something happen that would prepone the Kage Summit? Only time could tell...
