(Timeskip Two Days before the start of the finals for the Chunin Exams and Two Weeks since Naruto and Temari's wedding)

Sunagakure no sato

Naruto woke up as the sunrays came in through the window and hit his face. He yawned and stretched his body when he felt something snuggle into his chest and gazed down. He looked at the free flowing hair of his blonde girlfriend, now wife and smiled. He kissed the top of her head and pulled her closer by her slender naked waist and let her cuddle up to him. They had enjoyed their first week of marriage a lot but then much to his charging her responsibilities for the finals had come up over her. He too had been working hard but not nearly as hard as her. She had to take care of everything, from the preparations, to the places where the dignitaries would stay, the official food stalls and betting areas. He had taken over her duties for the responsibility of security for the finals from her and Gaara, who too had been buried neck deep in paperwork. He rubbed her back softly as she turned around and he pulled her to his chest, making her back press against his firm chest. He put his cheek over hers and knew she was awake now and just playing to be asleep. He pressed his lips on her cheek softly and nibbled her ear softly in his teeth.

"You know if you are awake then you shouldn't act like you're asleep hime, let me see those pretty teal green pools of yours." He whispered softly and she smiled and opened her eyes with a cute yawn turning around in his arms and gazed into her husband's eyes lovingly.

"Hey you." She whispered softly making him smile and kiss her softly with a chaste kiss and brought her close hugging her. She snuggled in his arms and Naruto brought the blanket up covering their naked bodies up to their necks.

"So how have the preparations been going hime?" he asked and she sighed tiredly and pressed herself to him saying nothing making him chuckle softly.

"So it was that tiring huh?" he asked playfully and she nodded in his chest while he kept brushing her hair with his fingers.

"Please don't ask me about it. None of those idiots know anything to do without my guidance. Please tell me you took care of all the security measures nicely?" she asked softly and he nodded pecking her with a smile.

"Of course love, there's nothing to worry about. All the shinobi will be notified of their security protocols today by the ANBU and jounin commander personally. I kept everyone in the dark until the last moment so no leak could be made for any breach of security." He said and she smiled and hugged him happily. He heard the bell to the house ring and was surprised at the sudden interference.

"Were you expecting someone hime?" he asked and she shook her head innocently. He nodded and got up making her whine. He chuckled and captured her lips in a soft gentle kiss and rubbed her cheek softly.

"I'll see who it is alright hime." He said and she nodded pouting at the lack of her morning cuddles and he put on his pyjamas and walked out of the room and down the stairs. He opened the door and saw Matsuri standing there and was surprised at seeing her this early in the morning.

"Ohayo Matsuri, do you need something?" he asked politely and was confused at her blushing but realized he wasn't wearing a T-shirt and smiled in amusement at her staring. He waved his hand in front of her and she broke out of her stupor with her blush intensifying.

"Umm Namikaze-sama, Kazekage-sama wanted me to inform you and Temari-sama that she would have to welcome the dignitaries arriving today at noon. He also asked me if you have prepared all the security measures or not." she said politely and he nodded.

"Alright I'll inform Temari of the welcoming arrangements. Tell Gaara not to worry about the security arrangements, the plans will reach him at lunch on his desk. Tell him not to worry and handle all the other diplomatic stuff and leave this to me." He said in an authoritative voice and she bowed and nodded at the military commander of Suna in respect.

"Have you had breakfast Matsuri, would you like to come in?" he asked politely, his earlier authority now forgotten and she smiled and shook her head.

"No it's very generous of you Namikaze-sama but Kazekage-sama needs me with him today. I must decline." She said politely and he waved his hand dismissively and she left. He closed the door walking into the kitchen to prepare the breakfast. He started cutting the vegetables with precision when two arms snaked around his waist and his love hugged him from behind.

"Are you already bored of me, just after two weeks?" Temari asked in mock hurt and he brought her in front making her hold the knife and started cutting the vegetables putting his chin on her shoulder making her blush.

"How can I get bored of my hime, especially when you were so amazing last night." He purred in her ear making her blush harder and she elbowed him with a giggle.

"Pervert." She said with a giggle and he chuckled kissing her neck.

"And you say that after your moans last night, especially when after the third time you moaned "Please Naru-kun one more time ahh…"." He teased whispering in her ear and she turned red like a tomato and turned around burying her face in his chest from embarrassment and he chuckled. He kissed her neck softly and brought his lips to her ear.

Small lemon ahead…

"Go and prepare the bathtub, I'll join you in a few minutes." He whispered softly and she nodded in his chest and went upstairs while he put the finishing touches on the breakfast and kept the ready plates on the table walking to his room. He saw his T-shirt that she was wearing down on the floor along with her panties and smiled stripping off his pyjamas and stepped in the bathroom. He saw her with her back to him and her hair by her right shoulder making him smile. He got behind her keeping his hands on her shoulders as she moved a bit in front and he stepped in behind her, pulling her close to him. Both sighed happily together and Naruto ran his hands on her stomach softly and she melted in his arms. Naruto ran his hands through her waist and he felt himself getting hard as he took in the scent of beautiful sandy blonde hair.

Temari felt his hands running through her waist and feeling her, as she felt his hard member on her ass she gasped when she felt his hands on her breasts.

"Naru-kun, not now. I have to get ready for the…" she was cut off as he grabbed her breasts and picked her up. He kept her hands on the edge of the tub bending her over and lined his member to her pussy, leaning on her back pressing himself on her back and kissed her neck pinching her pink soft nipples softly making her moan in delight.

"I can't hold it anymore; I need you now. Don't worry I'll be quick." He whispered in her ear huskily and she knew from his voice how much he needed her. He slid in inch by inch, feeling her tight pussy sucking him in and groaned as he felt her tight walls clamp him down.

"Yes you're so tight hime, even after so many times how are you so tight…" he whispered in her ear making her blush and moan as she felt him filling her up with all his eight inches buried in her to the hilt.

"Yesss Naru-kun ahh… you're so big… always stretching me to the limits…" she moaned and he smirked and pulled out halfway and thrust in harshly making her back arch as he caught her close to him and started ravishing her neck and thrusting with a smooth fast rhythm feeling her tight pussy trying to suck him in each time he pulled out.

"Yesss… ahh fuck me Naru-kun… deeper love…" she moaned in delight as he obliged and started going deeper and faster making her moan louder in complete ecstasy. Naruto groaned as he felt her walls starting to tighten around his cock and thrusted harder not letting up his rhythm and the slapping sounds of their hips filled the bathroom completely.

"Naru-kun I'm so close… keep going… please like that yesss…" she moaned, her mind clouded in pleasure and Naruto kept pumping in and out of her and looked down to see her dripping fluids covering his shining cock as it pistoned in and out. He loved seeing them connected like that, he closed his eyes and threw his head back in pleasure as he felt his balls churn and his cock twitch violently in her. He pulled out till his head and bend a little as he thrust in and hit her G-spot making her eyes roll to the back of her head and he started pistoning in her pussy hitting it repeatedly.

"Oh gooodddd….. yyyeeesssss…." She moaned in pleasure feeling his pumping and dominating her body while he held her by her breasts and kept fucking her.

"I'm close love… I'll cum in your pussy… do you want it? Do you want me?" he asked huskily kissing her lips their tongues battling and she moaned in her kiss as she broke off.

"Yes together… come in me… fill me up…" she moaned in between his thrusts and he smiled hearing her longing voice and started pumping harder and faster as she buckled under his thrusts but he kept her firm in place. She felt her stomach churn and moaned in pleasure. Naruto felt her tightening and knew she was close. He wasn't faring good either. Finally, he pulled out till the last inch and thrust forward burying to the hilt as he hit her G-spot and Temari's dam broke as she screamed in pleasure.

"AHHH I'M CUMMING!" she moaned loudly and clamped down on his cock as Naruto's eyes rolled to the back of his head and he grunted his own release coming. He buried himself to the hilt and released thick ropes of his own load deep into her and caught her as felt a bit light headed from the last release and Naruto pulled himself out and turned her around gently in his arms and fell back into the water as both came down from their highs'.

Small lemon ends…

"You've spoilt me." She said with a schoolgirl like giggle and he chuckled softly himself.

"And you've spoilt me hime." He said softly and she nodded in his chest. He picked her up in his arms bridal style making her squeal in glee as she snuggled in his chest and walked into the shower. Both showered and got out as Temari walked to the closet and started getting dressed.

"You know that I have to meet the dignitaries and foreign convoys today for the welcoming. And still you do all that just before I have to get dressed. What if I had a limp from all that?" she asked in mock anger and Naruto chuckled softly.

"Well you didn't seem like complaining back then…" he said making her blush. "… and it would be fun seeing you explaining it to the others." He said and dodged a hanger as he chuckled seeing her blushed and embarrassed face as he saw her in her black laced bra and panties and moved forward and pinned her to the wall.

"Plus, if you keep blushing like that wearing this, I might have to make you miss the welcoming and give you that limp after all." He whispered in her ear huskily and she hugged him tightly.

"What am I going to do with you?" she asked tiredly and he smirked.

"Well you could…" he was cut off when Temari put her fingers on his lips shutting him up.

"Oh hush, it was a rhetorical question my baka blonde husband." She said softly with a giggle and he pecked her and put her down walking back putting on his cut sleeves white shirt over his blue ANBU pants and sandals and fastened his blue fingerless gloves with metal back plates. He finished off his attire with his signature white waist length jacket with blue flames at the bottom and the kanji for 'Second Flash' embroidered vertically down his back. He tied his headband on his right arm letting his hair fall free over his eyes a bit as he had kept them the normal size to avoid the heat but grown them slightly to fall over his eyes as his love liked it so much. He was putting on his white medical tape when he heard footsteps behind him and turned to see Temari coming out from behind the wooden dressing separator. He dropped the roll of medical tape when his eyes landed on his wife.

There she stood in a black thigh length elegant kimono without her usual fishnet stockings letting the toned legs out in the view completely. Light blue flames matching his jacket's colour completely were designed to give the look of a large desert lily and her hair done in a loose bun with a senbon holding a shining blue sapphire at its end accentuating his eyes and her hair. The light blue obi matching the pattern at the bottom of her kimono was done beautifully with the same design embroidered on it. She was wearing her usual black shinobi sandals at the bottom and no makeup, just the way he liked it and just stared at her in a trance. Temari had a rosy ink blush adorning her cheeks from his reaction but was shocked at his words.

"You should not go out like this." He said and she looked down thinking she wasn't looking nice and was stunned at his next words when he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her in a hug.

"I don't want others to see my hime looking so pretty." He said and she blushed and hit his chest lightly muttering 'baka' and giggled. His heartfelt compliments and soft kisses that came with them made her feel really special. Naruto kissed her lips softly just like she knew he would and she rubbed his cheek softly making him nuzzle in her hand and she smiled.

"Hime, Matsuri came in the morning to tell you that you have to welcome all the dignitaries at noon." He said softly and she nodded as he picked her up bridal style and she squealed gleefully snuggling in his chest happily. He walked down to the dining table and sat her on his lap and both ate the breakfast he had kept earlier slowly making slow soft talk about each other's days. Naruto saw it was almost eleven and they had to leave in ten minutes to get to their posts and hugged her burying his face in her neck making her smile.

"You don't want to go do you?" she asked with a giggle and he whined in her neck as she cradled his head with a fond smile, brushing his hair softly. They sat in silence for ten minutes as Temari got up from his lap and fixed her kimono properly and put her hands on her hips with a playful glare.

"Now let's go, or do you want me to get late for my welcoming?" she asked in mock anger and he smiled.

"Well I could make you get late and spoil that pretty kimono a little if you'd like." He said making her turn red like a tomato and bonk his head.

"I didn't mean it like that you baka, now come. Escort me at least halfway where we will have to part ways." She said pulling his hand and he went with her locking the house behind them. They walked through the streets with Temari wrapped around him, her head on his shoulder and his arm around her waist securely as they walked through the village with smiles. Everyone either smiled waved or bowed at the newly married couple and they walked on reaching the central square of the village and Naruto saw Gaara and Kankuro there waiting for them and raised an eyebrow. He saw Kankuro handing Gaara some money and grumbling and was confused.

"Hey guys what's all that give-take about?" he asked and Kankuro huffed while Gaara smirked.

"We just made a bet that whether you would make her come late or not after seeing her in her attire as our representative for our exams that she had to wear for three days. Kankuro said you would and just paid up." He said and Naruto chuckled at the make-up man's expense.

"Oh believe me I was sorely tempted." He said making her blush and hide in his neck as he hugged her and kissed the top of her head. The brother's watched happily at how happy their sister was.

"Alright hime, I'll go and take care of all the shinobi stuff while you and your brothers go and have fun with the delegates alright?" he said and she nodded and broke the hug hesitantly, missing his warmth.

"Thanks for taking over all the stuff for me Naruto, I appreciate your help." Gaara said and Naruto nodded as he waved and watched them leave. Temari took a couple of steps and turned back running up to him and threw herself in his arms as he caught her in his arms and twirled her around making her giggle happily. She kissed him passionately as the crowd watching them was cheering on in happiness and the Sabaku sibling fiddled around uncomfortably. It was hard seeing their sister seeing her kiss someone, even if it was her husband they thought and the couple kissed for a couple of minutes as they broke off looking flushed.

"What's wrong hime, what is with this all of a sudden?" he asked putting a lock of hair behind her ear and she smiled and pecked him.

"Nothing, just like that." She said giving him a wink and pulled her brothers with her to the gates and Naruto smiled and shook his head in amusement walking away to the Kazekage Tower into his office to take care of all the militaristic stuff while Gaara handled the diplomacies.

Village Gates

Temari, Gaara and Kankuro walked to the village gates at a slow pace and came up to the gates. The chunins standing there bowed to the three and Gaara nodded to them as they sat down. Gaara knew that there were ANBU place everywhere if he knew Naruto, but for the life of him he couldn't see a single one since this morning. He saw how the commanders of both ANBU and the Jounins looked up to him and how they had started reporting to him and was glad at the burden being split from him with some of the civilian affairs that Naruto had taken away from him too and watched over the activities of the council. He had offered the hat to him, but the damn blonde had given him such a great answer with a smile that he had speared where he stood with his sand before he flashed away and still cursed the damn blonde for his answer.

"Oh you can keep the hat. Kami bless you with all the more paperwork 'Kazekage-sama'." He had blessed him and that annoyed him to no end. He saw as the several carriages and people came into view and held his stoic mask on while Temari smiled to welcome them all. It was the first time that all the five great villages had sent their genin teams to the exams after the civil war in Kiri had ended. The main reason being Suna was the most neutral major village at the moment and every village wanted to scout them out with all their new defense systems cutting them off.

Temari welcomed the party from the Earth country with the Sandaime Tsuchikage Onoki, Akatsuchi and Kurotsuchi at the front along with their Daimyo. She greeted and welcomed the guests sending them off with their personal ANBU escort teams to the Desert Oasis, the finest hotel in Suna. Iwa was completely neutral with them now as all their past differences of the last war were being forgotten and they were moving up from it.

Next came the delegation from Kumo with the Yondaime Raikage Ay, Darui and Cee at the front along with their Daimyo and she greeted the rigid and shrewd man politely who nodded, respecting the kunoichi. He viewed strength and the Wind Mistress of Suna was a well-known name in the bingo books now. And he also saw the elegance and grace with which she carried herself making him respect her even more. She greeted everyone and sent them off to the hotel with their own personal ANBU team and the rest of the parties with the genins and jounins were being sent to another hotel assigned to them by Suna chunins. Unknown to them the whole village was riddled with hidden ANBU black ops keeping eyes on everyone and wearing heavy Uzumaki chakra suppression seals making them the eyes that reported directly to Naruto watching their every move for security.

She saw the delegation from Kiri come into view and was nervous at how this was going to play out since relations had always been tense with them ever since the last war with what her father had played on them. She saw a really beautiful and seductive woman wearing the Mizukage's hat along with her two bodyguards and smiled greeting them and was happy that they weren't holding any hard feelings. Maybe with the new Mizukage, their relations could be improved Gaara mused welcoming her personally. They were escorted to the hotel with the same detail. Temari had chosen the hotel personally, seeing it had many different buildings like a resort and would keep the different villages away while at the same time together.

Lastly came the last delegation and Temari frowned a bit but smiled concentrating just on the woman wearing the Hokage's hat and the only leaf shinobi she respected apart from her apprentice Shizune. She welcomed them as Tsunade took off her hat and took the hands of the young girl in hers with a gentle smile.

"You look lovely Temari, absolutely beautiful." She said happily and Temari smiled as they hugged each other lightly. Temari scowled inwardly seeing her two bodyguards and gave them a polite bow and smiled. She wanted to bash the head of the white-haired pervert into the ground as she saw him eyeing her like a piece of a meat but she couldn't and just settled for inwardly cursing him to hell.

"Welcome to Suna Hatake-san, Jiraiya-sama." She said as politely as she could and they nodded with smiles and she saw two jounins behind her that made her snort in disgust inwardly. Shikamaru and Sasuke stood behind them with the Fire delegation eyeing her carefully and both frowned as she dismissed them without even sparing them a glance. Sasuke saw her looking so beautiful and the elegance with which she walked and held herself made him want her even more. She would be the perfect Matriarch for the Uchiha clan and a fine partner for him to revive his clan he thought licking his lips as he watched her greet everyone with that entrancing smile on her beautiful lips. And now she had a new glow on her face that wasn't there before which made her look all the more entrancing to him. He would have her see him like this when he saw her fiancée in the finals, he mused grinning. Several others of the rookie teams were there too and she wanted to just tell them to 'FUCK OFF' but diplomatic things stopped her and she motioned for them to the escorts to the hotel as they left. She welcomed them all and many others from several minor villages like Waterfall and Grass and sighed as the last of them left.

"Thank god it's over." She said sighing tiredly as she plopped down on a nearby bench and the chunin at the gates handed them bottles of water which she took gratefully.

"Well there are a lot of people this time for the exams." Kankuro muttered gulping down the water and Gaara nodded.

"Yes these are the biggest finals ever in the history of the five villages. There has never been the gathering of the big five at one chunin exam finals. It will be good for diplomatic talks between our villages." Gaara said and Temari nodded knowing it was true. Her thoughts trailed off to her blonde baka as she stood up tiredly and saw the setting sun and looked back at her brothers with a tired smile.

"Guys I'll be heading home now, Naru-kun will be back by the time I reach home. I want to rest till tomorrow before the finals." She said and they smiled and nodded as she walked away to her home with a small tired smile.

Namikaze residence

Temari walked in through the stone steps and saw the house still locked and frowned. She had hoped her would be home, but it looked like he was running late. She walked in keeping her sandals in the shoe rack and walked straight upstairs. She went inside her room and fell straight down face first on her bed with a tired sigh. Suddenly she felt a presence behind her when she felt two hands press against her back and massage it and smiled.

"My hime looks really tired tonight." Spoke the loving voice of her husband as she felt him massaging her back and thighs and sighed happily moaning as he broke the tiredness off her.

"A little down ahh…" she moaned and Naruto worked his hands on her back gently massaging it and took the small fans from her sleeves as he squeezed out the muscles in her arms. He flipped her around and saw her tired face and half lidded eyes making him smile. He undid her obi and opened her kimono so only her black laced bra and panties were in view and picked her up by the waist softly removing her arms from the sleeves and put her in bed hanging the kimono on the wooden separator. He brought the blanket up and tucked her in as he saw her fast asleep already and rubbed her head, kissing her forehead softly and changed getting into bed beside her. He knew she would wake up in the middle of the night and he would make both of them dinner then and snuggled with her as they cuddled up and slept in each other's arms.

In the dead of night…

Temari's eyes opened as she felt her snuggled up to her hubby and without her kimono as she smiled seeing Naruto cuddled up to her and knew what must have happened. She kissed his lips softly and Naruto woke up with a smile.

"Hey you." She whispered softly rubbing his cheek and he smiled.

"Hey yourself princess." He whispered and pecked her hugging her in his arms.

"You didn't eat dinner, did you?" she asked and he shook her head making her smile.

"You don't have to sleep on an empty stomach just because I did it." She said softly and already knew the answer that was about to come.

"How could I eat, when my hime was sleeping on an empty stomach?" he asked softly and she smiled and pecked him wrapping her arms around his neck and kept her forehead on his, gazing into his lovingly.

"I'm hungry." She whispered softly and he smiled and pecked her.

"You want to eat at home, order something or go out?" he asked softly and she smiled thinking of her options and smiled happily coming to a decision.

"Let's go out, a midnight date." She chirped happily and he nodded with a smile getting out of bed and put on a simple T-shirt over his pyjamas and she wore a simple pink top and her white floral pyjamas, tying her hair in a loose bun and both walked downstairs putting on their sandals. They walked in their usual way as Temari snuggled into his warm body to escape the cold breeze and he wrapped an arm around her waist pulling her close to him. They walked through the almost deserted streets and into the shopping district of the village where some people were still up and about and walked to a small restaurant and Temari pointed to it as they walked in.

The manager of the small establishment saw the most popular couple of the village come into his restaurant in simple sleeping clothes and smiled at seeing the newlywed couple snuggled into each other. He walked up to them and greeted them politely.

"Namikaze-sama, it's a surprise seeing you here at this late hour." He said and Naruto smiled at the man and nodded.

"Yes well Mari-chan slept on an empty stomach and I followed her. That lead to our midnight date tonight, I hope we can get a small corner for ourselves seeing our simple attire." He asked politely and the man beamed and waved his hand dismissively.

"Of course not. this place is always open for our favourite couple. Please come with me I'll get you a nice quiet booth." He said and they smiled and followed him as the few people that recognized them widened their eyes when they saw them and greeted them happily.

They sat in a corner table on the second floor completely empty and to themselves near the window and Temari giggled making him curious.

"This has got to be the best date ever. I mean we just got out of bed and came out at almost two in the morning on a date in a small restaurant completely without thought." She said and he chuckled and nodded as the manager came and they ordered some sushi and a little sake as they chatted about the day's events and Naruto chuckled at her descriptive curses for the delegates as the food came and both ate, sometimes feeding each other and had a bottle of sake shared with each other. Not much since they wanted to enjoy but be fit for the finals. And Naruto could always keep his alcohol in check if he needed due to his tenant watching over him.

He and the fox had gotten pretty close over the years. Well as close as a human and a bloodthirsty bijuu could get with his heavy sarcasm. They had a mutual respect for each other as the fox had told him of his life and Naruto had told him about his which he already knew and which was why he respected him and especially his 'mate vixen' as he called her, who helped him out from darkness before he did something stupid. The demonic chakra beacon on her ring was his idea and he was always keeping his senses out whenever he was a little careless, not wanting to see his container be beaten due to his carelessness and disrespect him. Naruto knew underneath all that bloodthirstiness; he was just an overgrown plushy.

"So I saw Sakura here today with many of the rookies from the Konoha delegation along with their jounin-senseis." She said in between her eating and Naruto brought her hands to him and kissed them softly, looking at her lovingly.

"You don't have to worry about anything love, I have no feelings for anyone other than you. Neither will I ever have so don't worry about anything. Almost all of Konoha except a select few died for me when they betrayed me, my heart belongs to you and only you." He said sensing her emphasis on Sakura and she smiled and drank her warm sake slowly and nodded. He took all her insecurities away with just that loving look. She was scared that if Sakura was to come to her senses he might re-emerge his feelings for her. She knew she was being stupid but the slightest chance of losing him scared her to no end. They saw as the manager walked up to them and asked if they needed anything but they shook their heads and paid the man with a good healthy tip and thanked him for the hospitality leaving.

They walked through the barren streets when Naruto saw a little girl running with tears streaming down her eyes and frowned. He crouched down and caught her in his arms as she hugged him innocently and cried her heart out while Naruto held her softly rubbing her back.

"Now now my little angel no need for so many precious pearls." He said wiping her eyes and nose and smiled as he gazed into the teary brown eyes and puffy cheeks of the small black haired girl and gave her a gentle smile. The small girl recognized Naruto seeing his whiskers and smiled happily.

"You're him, whiskers-kun!" she chirped happily and Temari giggled causing him to glare at her and he too recognized the girl from that day when her father came to him for her admission to the Academy. But what was such a little girl doing here in the dead of night?

"What are you doing here Haru-chan? It's late and why are you alone?" he asked and her tears renewed as he hugged her softly letting her cry before she spoke up.

"I broke a vase in my house when I went to bathroom and daddy yelled at me. I ran away but now I can't find my house. I'm scared, please get me back to my daddy." She said in sobs and Temari took the little cute girl in her arms to cradle and coo the crying little bundle as Naruto stood up with hardened eyes and flared his chakra in secret ANBU code as four ANBU appeared in front of him and kneeled down.

"Hai Namikaze-sama!" they shouted in unison and he glared at their kneeled down forms and spoke. Several people around the open shops had stopped to see their military commander calling ANBU in front of him and listened in.

"If you were in the vicinity why didn't you help this little girl? What would have happened if some drunk or psychopath would have gotten a hold of her instead of me?" he asked coldly and the ANBU team gulped from his tone and the leader spoke up.

"But Namikaze-sama according to your orders we are to look after the village and its security…" he was cut off as Naruto spoke up.

"…is irrelevant." He said coldly and all of them looked at him in shock as he spoke.

"If my forces can't even look after the well-being of a crying child in the death of night then what security are you talking about? Would you have been responsible for reporting to her father that you saw and left his daughter alone? Answer me!" he asked icily and the four looked down in shame.

"The shinobi are stationed for the security of the village correct. But if we can't protect our children, what good are you doing looking after the shinobi threats. They are the future of this village and must be protected at all costs. Now I have a new mission for the four of you." He said and they all looked down and nodded, his words piercing their hearts.

"Go and tell everyone what happened her and what is the most important thing to do. The security of the village is nothing if we can't protect its civilians…" he said and they nodded. "… and you four be ready to write a five-page report on your actions tonight and what you learned. And if the report is not good enough then be ready to be stripped of your ANBU masks after the finals." He said and they nodded in unison shivering from the little killing intent he was releasing.

"Dismissed." He said authoritatively and he turned around to Temari who was smiling proudly with the little girl in her arms as he heard clapping and saw the few awake people who saw everything clapping for him.

"Namikaze-sama you're the best. The civilians rest easy seeing you look after us." One of the shopkeepers said as everyone nodded and he smiled and shushed them up seeing the time and was blushing in embarrassment as he turned to the little girl who had fallen asleep in Temari's arms and took her in his arms.

"Let's go and get her address from the admission form in my office and get this little girl home hime." He said and she smiled and nodded as they went about and did so walking to her house. They saw his father looking around frantically with tear stains on his cheeks as Temari put a hand on his shoulder and pointed to Naruto as the man's eyes widened when he saw his little girl safe and sound sleeping in the strongest man of the village's arms, sighing in relief. He kneeled down bowing to Naruto as he was wide eyed and picked the man up.

"Thank you Namikaze-sama, you are an angel to my family. You always look out for us. What would have I done if I couldn't find her?" he said and Naruto smiled handing her to him as the father cradled his innocent sleeping child happily making Temari smile.

"Why didn't you go and ask help at the shinobi desk?" Naruto asked and the man wiped his eyes smiling sadly.

"I did Namikaze-sama, but the man there was a bit drunk and said all shinobi were busy with the exams and didn't have time for silly civilian affairs." He said making Naruto harden his eyes and Temari to scowl. Many shinobi from clans still looked at civilians' problems with disdain and a waste of time. Looks like they had to be taught a lesson he mused.

"I apologize for their behaviour…" he said and the father caught his hands and shook his head.

"No please don't apologize Namikaze-sama, you brought my daughter home personally I couldn't…" he said but was cut off when Naruto raised his hand.

"No my leadership had a hole, I shouldn't have had to find her in the first place. Your complaint should have been listened and reported to every patrolling shinobi through our specially coded seals I have dispersed amongst them. Don't worry I'll rectify it tomorrow after I have a chat with my forces personally." He said and the father nodded and thanked him again stepping in his house as Naruto and Temari walked home with Temari wrapped around his arm.

"Looks like you have a busy day tomorrow Naru-kun." She whispered and he nodded with a frown.

"Yes I'll make sure everyone is treated equally whether it be clan children or civilian orphans, as long as I'm in command."

Author's notes : There is the next chapter. Next time will be some of Naruto's reveal to the Konoha contingent and his power and command being showed over his forces. Several of Konoha's ninjas will also be shown exploring the village. Oh and as for Sasuke bashing, well he will be bashed like hell to fulfil my heart and several others (Kukuku).
