True Love's First Kiss

Blanket disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Tenjho Tenge

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

In this chapter we catch up with Tsunade and find out what she's been up to all this time. Here's chapter 8. Enjoy!

Last time:

…Are we training future ANBU here?"

Hiruzen nodded. "That is exactly what we are doing Yūgao. Since you have previous experience breaking in new ANBU troops, I felt you would be ideal for this job. You'd have regular hours as an Academy instructor but you would be receiving A-ranked pay the next two months for putting up with a bunch of brats. I also know Uzumaki Naruto respects you since his Cat nee-chan was the only ANBU that didn't end up dressed as a clown. He's the only one you are permitted to tell you ANBU identity to."

"It sounds like I'm going to have to throw Naruto-kun and the others through the meat grinder." said Yūgao. "I'll have to draw up a schedule and disguise it as extra hard Academy courses since we can't use the ANBU barracks."

"Then I can count on you with this task Yūgao?" asked the Hokage.

"Leave it to me sir; I'll whip the brats into shape." said the purple haired kunoichi with a grin.

"That's what I wanted to hear Instructor Uzuki Yūgao. Feel free to wear your ANBU gear minus the mask of course."

"Yes, sir!" answered Yūgao.

Chapter 8

Fire Country, the Village of Dokoni mo

Deep in the remote forests of Fire Country was a small village called Dokoni mo. Into this small village walked the massive form of Enma the Monkey King; long-time friend and personal summons of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage. Time and again Hiruzen had asked his loyal brat Jiraiya to find his other (semi) loyal brat Tsunade and yet the sly kunoichi always managed to give Jiraiya the slip (or so he claimed). At any rate; after months of various monkey summons scouring the Elemental Nations the trail led here to Dokoni mo. The villagers were afraid of the Monkey King but he explained that he was from Konoha and was here to see Senju Tsunade. After a little intimidation with the locals Enma found out she lived in a three-bedroom cottage at the far end of town.

Senju Tsunade (age fifty-one) was around the back of the cottage meditating at a rather large pond when Enma came storming around the small house and saw the straw-blonde woman sitting while facing away from him. Enma growled angrily, "Senju Tsunade; you impertinent little brat! I've come here for Hiruzen to bring you back to Konoha. If you don't come along peacefully, I'm going to give you the spanking of a lifetime you so rightly deserve for making me traipse all the way out here to the middle of nowhere!"

Enma saw a flash of Tsunade's angry amber eyes before her voice echoed through the entire village like an angry goddess. "YOU'RE GONNA WHAT?!" After that sounds of a very large monkey shrieking as he was run through a proverbial shredding machine were heard throughout Dokoni mo along with some truly thunderous impacts of human fists pummeling furry flesh. Eventually a badly mauled Enma was punched clean over the cottage to the front and crashed onto his back at the feet of Tsunade's faithful apprentice Shizune (age twenty-six) and a young white-haired girl. He groaned in misery as Shizune came into focus along with the girl holding her hand looking at him curiously like he was roadkill or something.

"Oh dear." said Shizune. "Is that you Enma-sama? Did you upset Tsunade-sama?" The black-haired woman cringed a bit as the Monkey King groaned pitifully.

The white-haired girl used a stick and poked him a couple of times eliciting further groans. She said innocently with big amber eyes. "You upset Kaa-chan didn't you? You made her do grievous bodily harm to you for being bad, didn't you?"

Tsunade came roaring around the house and said, "I'm going to send you back to Sarutobi-sensei in a box you overgrown, flea bitten- Oh, Mito-chan. Stand back honey. Kaa-chan has to inflict some grievous bodily harm to this monkey for his bad behavior."

The now named Mito chirped, "Okay Kaa-chan! Let's get back Shizune nee-chan."

Shizune shook her head, "Shush Mito-chan. This is the Monkey King Enma-sama and he must have been sent here by Hokage-sama on an important mission…and please stop poking him with that stick Mito-chan."

Enma quickly rolled to his feet and stared at Mito in shock with a wide eye (the other one was swollen shut). When his good eye focused, he saw the little girl looked just like Tsunade when he first met her save the fact her hair was white. She even wore it in the same ponytail Tsunade did as a child! "Y-you're Senju Tsunade's daughter?!"

Then girl giggled and bowed. "I am Senju Mito, I'm seven years old and it's very nice to meet you Enma-sama." Then her face turned to a cute frown and she pointed at him. "Why did you make Kaa-chan angry?" Then she crossed her arms and started tapping her foot the same way Tsunade did when riled.

Enma turned to Tsunade and said accusingly, "You have a daughter?! Does that brat Jiraiya know about this?"

Mito said, "Of course Tou-san knows about me! He comes to see us as much as he can when he isn't on missions."

Enma's good eye got even wider as he felt Tsunade reach up and grab him by the scruff of his neck. "If you tell Sarutobi-sensei about this I'll have your head stuffed and mounted on my wall!" she said in a hiss.

"Fine." said Enma. "I will not tell him; you will! -Reverse summoning jutsu!" At that point Sarutobi Hiruzen appeared in a puff of smoke coughing and holding a half-spilled cup of tea…

Hiruzen was looking down staring eye to eye with Mito. After a few tense moments and recognizing Tsunade's patented bulging vein on the forehead of Mito he said "…Tsunade-chan?"

Mito pointed behind him and said, "Kaa-chan is behind you old man."

A few moments later Sarutobi's voice was heard ringing throughout Dokoni mo. "WHAAAT?!"

…

Konoha, Hokage's Office

It was Sunday morning and the Hokage, Danzo, Homura and Koharu had been discussing last night's 'fearsome battle' between the Enemy Army and the Heroic ANBU when Hiruzen vanished in a puff of smoke. "Was he a shadow clone?" asked Homura.

Koharu shook her head, "No, his teacup he was holding wouldn't have vanished with him. Was he reverse summoned?"

"That's the only logical answer I can think of." said Danzo. "Enma must have taken him to Jiraiya or something. I guess we'll just have to sit back and wait."

…

Natsume Clan Home

ANBU Cat arrived at the Natsume residence in the morning to pay a visit to a certain village prankster. She wanted to prevent him causing trouble in class and hoped that revealing her identity to him as Uzuki Yūgao would help. She'd worked out some of the class schedules and had a rough idea of what she wanted done to start tomorrow. Yūgao came to knock on the front door and Aya opened it as she arrived. "Hello, ANBU Cat-san, can I help you?"

Cat nodded. "I'm here to see Uzumaki Naruto. Is he around?"

"He's back sparring with Hanako Obaa-chan and the others." answered the brunette. "Just follow me ANBU-san." As Yūgao was led through the Natsume household she found it was a very old fashioned and traditional place but it retained a warmth about it that most traditional homes didn't.

Soon Yūgao heard the sounds of swords clashing and that grabbed her interest. She really wanted to see what was going on since she and her boyfriend Hayate both loved swords. 'Maybe Hayate-kun could help me teach kenjutsu to the brats. That way we could spend some extra time together.' she thought with a small smile behind her mask. When Aya slid the door open she saw both Maya and Naruto in ANBU style gear with their respective blades apparently going for the jugular in a fearsome swordfight. Maya was controlling the flow of the battle through her superior technique with the Reiki but Naruto's power and speed with his two swords were keeping Maya from doing anything decisive. They both sported feral smiles and energy seemed to be crackling in the air around them as their blades impacted again and sparked against one another.

A simple "Freeze." was heard but the authority behind it made even Cat stand at attention. Naruto and Maya stood as if paralyzed. Cat looked over and saw Hyūga Hanako sitting in the seiza position. "We have a guest but the two of you were so locked in the heat of battle that you didn't notice." Hanako shook her head. "We will need to continue to work on your situational awareness. Sheathe your blades and bow. This spar is over." Maya and Naruto did as they were told and quickly thanked each other for the spar. Hanako turned to Cat with her byakugan active. "Is there something we can do for you today ANBU Cat-san?"

Cat bowed. "Forgive the interruption Hyūga-san but I need to borrow Uzumaki Naruto in private for a few moments." Yūgao didn't know why she bowed to this older woman but she kind of felt compelled to do so. Her skills as a sensor told her the woman was far more powerful than she let on.

"Go with her Naruto-kun." said Hanako before she added, "-and do try not to get arrested."

"You're so cruel to me Hanako Obaa-chan." whined Naruto as Hanako sent him off with shooing motions and Hanabi and Aya giggled at his expense. Maya and Hinata both smiled. They'd been at it for some time, so they were a bit too tired for full blown laughter. Naruto turned to Yūgao and said, "Cat nee-chan; what brings you by?"

"Let's go someplace and talk Naruto-kun." said Cat. "Is there a private area?"

Maya said, "Go to the meditation area Naruto-kun. You won't be disturbed there." Naruto nodded and picked up his water bottle before he led Cat out to a quiet room with sitting cushions.

"So what's up Cat nee-chan? I heard you ANBU caught those evil pranksters that framed me." said Naruto jovially as he sat down.

"Yes, evil pranksters…" she said with a smile in her voice. "I came to talk to you about your advanced classes."

Naruto sagged. "Don't tell me Jiji is already sending you to warn me to behave!"

Cat sat down across from him and laughed. "Actually, he did in a way. If you don't give your all in class, you're going to be eaten alive. I'm going to be teaching you Naruto-kun so I want you to do your absolute best in class."

Naruto sat in shock. "You're teaching the class nee-chan?"

She nodded. "Yes, and you'll have to address me by my real name." She took her Cat mask off showing her delicate features and smiled at him. "I am Uzuki Yūgao and I'm very happy to meet you face to face Uzumaki Naruto. When we are around others, you'll need to call me Yūgao-sensei so my ANBU identity will remain secret understand?"

Nuruto smiled and nodded. "I'm happy to meet you too Yūgao-sensei! I always knew you'd be pretty! Since you're in ANBU are you going to hide your tattoo?"

Yūgao smiled. "No Naruto-kun. I was inducted into ANBU when I was younger than you are now. I'll be displaying my ANBU tattoo so you'll all be inspired to work hard."

Naruto looked thoughtful and said, "Don't be too nice when teaching class or people will try to take advantage of you."

The purple haired woman looked surprised at his concern but said, "I'm afraid I can't afford to be too nice Naruto-kun. I've basically been assigned to put you through hell. I know you'll think some of it is unfair but I don't want you to be pranking me or any of the others. This is deadly serious stuff. Everyone in the class can do the Academy three basic jutsus but you since you can't do a clone jutsu so we're going to have to work on that."

Naruto gave her a fox-like smile and made a shadow clone appear. "This is our little secret Yūgao-sensei. Hokage-Jiji doesn't need to know I can make shadow clones."

Yugao gasped as she quickly added up all the evidence in her head. "You really didn't pull off that prank; your clones did!"

"I have no idea what prank you are referring to Yūgao-sensei." said Naruto with a completely straight face.

She chuckled, "Well how could you? There were dozens of them!" She paused and said, "Promise me you'll never do that again!"

"Actually, I can't promise to not do something I didn't do." said the blonde. "For what it's worth though I plan to give up pranking once I graduate."

Yūgao let out an audible sigh of relief. "So tell me, when did you get interested in kenjustu? You and Maya-san were really cranking back there. I could see you both had your all thrown into it…and those blades are interesting too."

"Well, I can't tell you all of it because Hokoge-Jiji classified it but I got my swords from Jiji and I've been training with Hanako Obaa-chan ever since. She's a real slave driver and runs me, Hinata-chan and Maya-chan into the ground. It's really showing results though; a month ago all I knew was which end to point at the enemy."

They laughed and talked a while longer before Yūgao warned him to get plenty of sleep and be there in room 301 at 4 A.M. sharp. After that she put her mask back on and departed in a body flicker.

…

ANBU Armory

Ino, Sakura, Choji and Shikamaru were getting their uniforms. Nara Shikaku escorted the four teens over and dropped them off saying it was 'too troublesome' to wait on them.

"What a drag." said Shikamaru. "Mom dragged me and Dad out of bed early and browbeat Dad into taking us all over here. What a troublesome woman."

"Your Mom is the only person in your family that has any motivation at all Shikamaru!" said Ino loudly. "Your whole clan is just a bunch of lazy bums!"

"So what's your point?" asked the Nara heir. "Stop being so bossy you troublesome blonde."

"What was that?!" yelled Ino.

Mura led Choji out in his new uniform. The chubby boy was a bit flustered at the seamstress's gruff way of handling things. "You, Nara! You're next so move." Mura commanded. Shikamaru grumbled something under his breath about 'troublesome' as he was hauled back to be fitted out.

Choji turned to the two girls…and looked embarrassed in his black ANBU style gear. "Ummm…I guess this is everyone's gear will look like so we'll all match."

Sakura said, "It looks very…black is very slimming Choji." as she tried to be nice about it.

"We're all going to have to dress the same?" asked Ino in horror. "How are we going to show any individual style at all? Kunoichis are supposed to be sexy aren't they?" She turned to Taro. "Please tell me there's a better, more feminine version Taro-san."

Taro chuckled. "Sorry girl but all the uniforms are the same. They're made out of the same special material the Akimichi clan uses for their body expansion jutsus. It's very durable and easy to move in." He turned to the self-conscious Choji. "You should be proud kid. Your clan did the Elemental Nations a huge favor when they invented this material. Now let's get you some weaponry."

Seeing that Choji and Taro were tuning her out; Ino turned to her best friend Sakura. "Well, seeing you in an outfit like that isn't going to be pretty forehead." said Ino sarcastically.

"Funny, I was just thinking the same thing about you porker." retorted Sakura with equal sarcasm. "On the positive side we'll be able to admire Sasuke-kun in a skintight black outfit."

…

Dokoni mo

Hiruzen was sitting with Tsunade and Mito at the main table inside the cottage while Shizune patched up poor Enma in the front room. The Hokage was trying to wrap his head around the situation. "It seems the impossible has happened…" said Hiruzen.

"I'll admit being forty-four is old to have children but it's not medically impossible Sarutobi-sensei!" said Tsunade affronted. "I'm not that old damn it!"

"Kaa-chan! No cussing remember?" said Mito indignantly.

"Sorry Mito-chan." said Tsunade as she kissed Mito's forehead. "Why don't you play in your room while Kaa-chan and her really old sensei talk about ninja stuff?"

"Okay; I'll go read some of my medical textbooks." chirped Mito as she took off to her room.

Hiruzen smiled. "She already wants to be a medical nin huh? You must be proud of her."

"Mito-chan is better than I was at her age." said Tsunade proudly. "She's got my chakra control and Jiraiya-kun's chakra reserves. Mito has been fascinated with healing since she was old enough to say the word."

"No doubt having the greatest Medic nin in the world and her apprentice to teach and inspire her has been a great help in developing her skills." said Sarutobi proudly. "When I said impossible earlier it was the idea of you and Jiraiya being a couple Tsunade-chan. I meant no offense."

Tsunade explained, "Jiraiya-kun was injured almost unto death and I nursed him back to health with Shizune's help. I got over my hemophobia to save his life and somehow in the process he rescued me from my self-destructive path. He paid off all my gambling debts and I stopped drinking so heavily. We somehow fell in love and we got married. Then we were blessed with Mito-chan. Jiraiya-kun has kept our location secret so Mito-chan could grow up without being 'The Senju Heiress' like I was after Nawaki died."

"I'm just so shocked Tsunade." said the Hokage. "You have the happiness in your eyes again that you lost so long ago. I'm truly happy for you. You obviously haven't lost your fighting skills either given the way you thrashed poor Enma…Was that really necessary?"

"He threatened me and I wasn't about to let him take me away from my baby girl." she answered in a cold tone. "He's lucky Mito-chan and Shizune showed up when they did or I'd have made him into a carpet. That aside though, why were you searching for me Sarutobi-sensei?"

Hiruzen sighed. "War is coming Tsunade. The village needs your strength. I've made a truce with Danzo due to this upcoming war, but it won't last. I need someone to become the Fifth Hokage and I want that person to be you. You have the pedigree, the background and the education. Jiraiya won't take it and frankly his information network is far too vital for me to keep him in Konoha all the time. I have to take Danzo out of the picture for the good of the village and I need someone I can trust and count on to lead…I'm old Tsunade. While I'd be happy to serve as an advisor, I'd step down from the Hokage's seat in a heartbeat if it weren't for the threat of Danzo and his warmongering ways. Recent events brought his ROOT forces out into the open and I made a compromise with him to prevent a civil war. Will you help me Tsunade-chan?"

Tsunade said in a tense and worried tone, "I need a little time to think about it. I don't want it but….Harashima-Jiji and Tobimira-Ooji would be spinning in their graves if Danzo took over. I want to talk to Jiraiya-kun. I'll send you a messenger slug in the next couple of weeks. Will that work sensei?"

Hiruzen patted her on the shoulder. "It's better than I expected Tsunade. Talk to Jiraiya, Shizune and little Mito-chan. I think she would make a fine Konoha kunoichi someday. I'll send a monkey summons out in a couple of weeks if I don't hear from you, okay?"

"Alright sensei." She hugged the old man. "I'll talk to you soon."

Hiruzen and Enma soon departed after a 'meeting with his student' and returned to Konoha.

…

Konoha, Natsume Clan Home

Hanako was running her charges through some cool down exercises before they broke for lunch. She'd dragged them out of bed early at 4 A.M. so they'd be good and tired that evening. Hinata, Maya and Naruto were going to be getting up at 3 A.M. sharp for the next couple of months and Hanako was going to be making sure they were off to a good start. She also informed Naruto that she wasn't going to tolerate him oversleeping so he would have to set up shop at the Natsume home for an extended stay during their advanced genin training.

Naruto simply acquiesced (he'd learned arguing with Hanako Obaa-chan was a losing proposition) and Maya and Hinata were particularly pleased. Naruto said if the villagers started bothering them, he was moving back out to his apartment though which Hanako and the girls accepted on the surface.

'If the villagers start bothering us we'll simply kick them off the Natsume property.' thought Maya to herself. 'Naruto-kun should live here with us anyway.'

...

Flashback...

Hanako had called both Maya and Hinata into the study where she was thumbing the huge book of laws from Uzu that Naruto had received. While he had buried himself in the Uzu sealing books his Mother left behind he wasn't too worried about the Uzu clan laws at this point. "Hinata-chan, Maya-chan; I have interesting and perhaps disturbing news. You both know that Naruto-kun is the last of the Royal Uzumaki line. I've been going through the Uzumaki Clan laws and it seemed this happened a couple of times before. As the last male heir Naruto-kun's family practices polygamy to repopulate their royal line."

"P-polygamy?" said Hinata with a blush. "As in more than one wife?"

"Is that even legal?" asked Maya.

Hanako nodded. "It is under these clan laws which would be upheld in any court of law in the Elemental Nations. Daimyos often have harems you know. Both of you girls have confided in me your feelings towards Naruto-kun and to each other. It's up to you girls but under this set of laws there is no reason you couldn't each be his wife if you are willing to share him. Bear in mind he could take other wives as well though so you'll need to think this over and discuss it with each other."

"Has Naruto-kun said anything about it Obaa-chan?" asked Hinata.

Maya nodded, "Yes, what did Naruto-kun think of the whole idea?"

"I didn't feel it was necessary to inform Naruto of these laws until you two saw them and made certain of your own feelings." said Hanako in a matter of fact tone.

Both girls face faulted. "You're telling us but not Naruto-kun?!" both girls shrieked as one.

"What he does not know will not hurt him ladies." said Hanako. "You're all still young and I don't want to plant the idea in the mind of a hormonal teenage boy that he needs to sleep with every girl he can find and build a harem." She shook her head. "Naruto-kun is actually a very nice young man despite his rough edges but I don't think he is ready to know these things just yet."

Flashback end...

'Yes, Naruto kun should live here with his family.' thought Maya. 'He's going to need Hinata-chan and I in his life to make sure he's only with girls that really love him like we do.'

Hinata was having similar thoughts. 'Once his royal lineage come out there are going to be all kinds of sycophants and parasites around. By settling here Maya-chan and I can keep Naruto-kun safe from those fan girl harpies.'

After a quick shower to wash the sweat and grime off everyone was in the kitchen sitting down for lunch. Maya was at the head of the table as head of the Natsume household, but she'd grown very close to Hanako over the last few weeks and was glad that her new Obaa-chan was there. Hanako was someone Maya could trust and go to for advice whenever she needed it and having Hinata-chan and Hanabi-chan living there made her feel like the empty old house was full of happiness again. Best of all Naruto-kun was there for now...Maya and Hinata already planned to make that permanent.

"So Naruto-kun, what did ANBU Cat-san say this morning?" ask Hinata. Truthfully all of the girls were curious.

"Cat nee-chan told me to do my best." explained Naruto. "She told me we were really going to go through hel-, er…heck in this advanced genin training course and the I shouldn't misbehave or prank anybody because I needed to put all of my efforts into learning."

Hanako nodded sagely. "It sounds like she gave you excellent advice Naruto-kun. Are you going to follow her instructions? I've been telling you these same things for weeks."

"Yes Hanako Obaa-chan." said the blonde. "I was already planning to give up pranking once I became a genin anyway. I'll just have to start two months early."

Maya smiled. "Try not to antagonize the Uchiha too much. He's had his panties in a twist ever since you started beating him at spars."

"Sorry Maya-chan but he treats everyone like trash because he's a so-called noble." answered Naruto. "It just grates on my nerves that the pampered princess has gotten his special treatment for so long."

Hinata giggled. "I think he's going to be treated a little less special in this training course."

"What do you think the training is going to be like nee-chan?" asked Hanabi curiously.

"I don't know Hanabi-chan." said Hinata with a shrug. "But I think that Hanako Obaa-chan's training is going to prove to be tougher. I don't think quitting this course is going to be an option. I hope we all do well."

"You and Maya-chan are going to do great Hinata-chan!" exclaimed Naruto. "We're all going to become genins together; I don't doubt it for a minute...unless there are a lot of written tests...that would really su-" He saw Hanako subtly twirling the chopsticks of doom. "I mean it would really be unpleasant having to do a lot of written tests."

Hanako smirked. 'I'll get some manners into you yet child! Bwahahaha!' "I think you'll find this course is going to have a lot more emphasis on the practical than the written Naruto-kun. That's why I've been training you three so much physically as well as mentally. A shinobi needs to have an equally strong body and mind."

"Is that why you've had both Anko-san and Bunshichi-san training Maya-chan and I as well Obaa-chan?" asked Hinata.

"Precisely Hinata-chan." said Hanako with approval in her tone. "All three of you need to learn to face different kinds of opponents and Bunshichi and Anko have presented you all with a wonderful opportunity. I've noticed you've added a couple of Anko's moves into your repertoire Hinata-chan."

Hinata looked frightened for a moment and said, "I'm so sorry Hanako Obaa-chan. I will stop and only use the new juken you've taught me."

Hanako wanted to sigh. 'Hinata-chan still has self-confidence issues. I should have stepped in years ago.' "Hinata-chan, I'm not upset. I'm very proud of you. I want both you and Hanabi-chan to learn to adapt and grow. The policy of the juken forms being set in stone are something I've felt were wrong since I was little. If you want to experiment, then by all means do so. Someone who might be familiar with the juken style could be totally blindsided by a kick from the snake style. I think what you are doing is rather innovative. I wish I would have thought of some of those things when I was an active duty kunoichi."

Maya nodded in encouragement. "Hanako Obaa-chan is right Hinata-chan. Besides, you putting Bunshichi out of the fight with that rising snake kick to the groin was priceless." laughed Maya. "You may have been embarrassed but that move could save your life someday."

Naruto winced at the memory of Bunshichi-sensei going doing cross eyed with a look of agony only a fellow male would understand before he collapsed in a pained, lifeless heap. "Please don't ever use that move on me Hinata-chan. I think it could potentially be fatal. Anko nee-chan nearly laughed herself sick so you know it's effective against enemies -especially male ones."

Hinata was blushing but said, "Don't worry Naruto-kun. I'd never use that move on you." She smiled softly when she saw the immense look of relief on Naruto's face.

"So, what are you going to name your special move nee-chan?" asked Hanabi innocently. "Anko-sensei had all kinds of interesting names for it."

Hinata just blushed heavily...

…

ANBU Armory

"And you're done Haruno." said Mura. "Remember to eat more and build up some muscle tone. You and that blonde girl are like a pair of broomsticks."

Sakura went out and found the other three waiting for her. "Nice, the flak vest covers what can't be seen billboard brow." snarked Ino.

"You should really watch what you say porker." growled Sakura. "I think you're projecting again. Taro-san, can you get her a full ANBU mask as well? Preferably of a boar."

The two best friends/worst enemies growled at each other and Shikamaru and Choji took that as their cue to leave -quickly.

…

Natsume Clan Home, that evening…

Having been trained into the ground by their Obaa-chan all day, the three special genin trainees were getting ready to hit their beds for the evening since they had to get up before the crack of dawn. Other than Naruto who was still a little worried about his test scores they all seemed as prepared as they could be. Maya and Hinata were both in Maya's room and were quietly giggling amongst themselves. "It's simple Hinata-chan. We'll sit on either side of Naruto-kun and each give him a kiss on the cheek goodnight. That will take his mind of his worries and show him how we feel." said Maya totally convinced of her plan.

"D-don't you think that's a little to bold Maya-chan?" asked Hinata with a blush.

Maya shook her head. "It's just a peck on the cheek. If we were each planning to grab his face and ram our tongues down his throat one after the other that would be bold."

Hinata had a slight nosebleed at those mental images and said, "Alright Maya-chan. Let's do this before I lose my nerve."

…

Naruto's room…

Naruto was setting things up neatly in his room so it would be easy to find everything and put it on at 3 A.M. when he prayed his alarm would wake him up. He heard a knock on his door and found Maya-chan and Hinata-chan each in their sleeping yukata. "Can we come in Naruto-kun? We just wanted to talk a minute before we all went to sleep." said Maya with a tiny blush on her cheeks.

Naruto was already in his boxers and a t-shirt with the Uzumaki swirl on it. He was surprised the girls weren't already asleep but invited them in. "Sure, we can talk a minute, come on in." said Naruto.

Hinata and Maya both assured Naruto that everything was going to be all right and the three of them would help each other out no matter what. Naruto seemed to be a little bit more at ease. Maya and Hinata made eye contact and both nodded while blushing as they closed their eyes a learned in to give Naruto a little kiss…

Hinata was surprised to find lips meeting her own. 'Naruto-kun's lips are so soft and gentle…I can't believe we're kissing! I…I…should I try using my tongue? This is so amazing!'

Naruto's eyes were growing wider and wider at the shock of the sudden action.

Hinata was lost in the heat of the moment and heard a soft feminine moan along with her own…Hinata's eyes popped open and saw Maya's blue eyes staring back at her in total shock. The two kunoichi's it training recoiled and pulled back though there was a string of saliva between their lips. "Oh. My. God." said Maya. I just gave my first kiss to Hinata-chan!"

Hinata was blushing like a tomato. "M-Maya-chan? Why did you? Naruto-kun!" she turned to the blonde-haired boy only to find he must have leaned back and was currently lying unconscious with a huge smile and blood leaking copiously out of his nose.

…

Naruto's mindscape…

Naruto was staring at his two best friends as they moaned into each other's mouths and it was simply too much for him two see two beautiful young kunoichi kissing each other. All the blood in his body rushed to his groin and out his nose before he passed out and now was in a world where everything was white. A chibi Naruto walked along until he saw a small mountain and climbed it. At the top was a chibi Bunshichi sitting on the hill in the lotus position dressed like some kind of wise man. He was smoking a long and elaborate pipe.

"I see you have come to see me after your long journey to find enlightenment my loyal disciple." said chibi Bunshichi as her exhaled a puff of smoke.

Yes Bunshichi-sensei." said chibi Naruto. "I have found both inner and outer peace at last."

Chibi Bunshichi nodded in a sage like manner. "Now that that you have become truly enlightened I have these words to pass unto you as my own Master imparted them to me long ago. Engrave these words into your heart, mind and soul so you might pass them on to those that you will pass onto your own students in the future."

"I am ready to hear these words of wisdom my Master." said chibi Naruto reverently.

"Then listen well to my words Naruto." said chibi Bunshichi with great flourish. "Let it be known that there's no movie whether it be animated or live action that can't be made better without the addition of a hot lesbian sex scene."

Chibi Naruto shed tears of joy at his Master's wise words. "No truer words have ever been spoken my Master."

With that the two chibi men sat silently and reflected upon their enlightened thoughts…

…

Back in reality…

Maya and Hinata were both sitting and blushing as they stared at the massive erection that the unconscious Naruto was now sporting. Maya chuckled very weakly. "Well Hinata-chan; I think Naruto-kun is happy and resting peacefully."

Hinata had her palm on her forehead. "I can't believe we just lost our first kiss to each other…" Her eye was still trained on Naruto's bulging crotch. "Well, he does seem happy. I think we should call it a night and try to explain in the morning. Naruto-kun is totally comatose." she said still blushing. It took all the two girls' willpower not to check out the goods.

Both kunoichi in training gave the unconscious Naruto a peck on the cheek. "Pleasant dreams Naruto-kun." said Hinata as they closed the door behind them.

POSTSCRIPT:

Okay, before anyone gets too excited, this is not going to become some kind of yuri smutfest (although it may become a running gag). Chibi wise man Bunshichi may return in the future at the most inopportune times to give more helpful advice; we'll just have to see. Also, I decided to put a whole new spin on Jiraiya and Tsunade. Jiraiya has had a lot more going on than anyone realized and Tsunade actually has some direction in her life now that she is married and has a cute daughter. Also, it seems that Hiruzen is moving behind the scenes to get rid of Danzo for good and co-opt ROOT in the process. See you next time. Blue out. 6/4/23
