Chapter 4

Last Time:

'I'm in, and hidden in the best place available…in plain sight.' Naruto thought with a smirk as he headed off to mingle and hopefully find the library.

Now:

Naruto groaned as he was dragged to the head of the present line by a slim blond with green eyes. "Um..Akane-san, why are we going to the front?" "To greet our hosts." She said giddily. "Minato-sama, Kushina san" "Akane-chan, how have you been?" Kushina asked gladly as she saw the blond drag yet another one night stand towards them. Akane had a knack for not staying with a guy long, but she always managed to rebound….continuously.

"I'm great. This is…um.." "My name is Steve Rogers." Naruto said as he introduced himself. "Steve-san, are you not from around here?" Minato said, something about this guy rubbing him the wrong way. 'I'm your son you bastard!' "Yes, I am not from here. It was a pleasure meeting you two, and I hope your son has a fantastic birthday." Naruto said as he dragged Akane away.

"Akane san, are you friends with the Namikazes?" "Of course, I have been babysitting their son for the last 3 years. I know this place like the back of my hand." She replied gladly. "Hmm… Akane-chan, is there any place quiet that no one goes to where we could be..alone?" Naruto asked her as he pressed his muscular body close to hers and whispered hotly in her ear. "W..we..well there is a small hall closet…" Akane replied, a large blush on her face. "No ..somewhere more ..private." Naruto said softly into her ear as he trailed his tongue over her earlobe.

".. Well, the clan library is unlocked, but we really shouldn't go in there.." "Come on, Akane-chan. We can have so much fun…" He whispered as he trailed kisses down her neck. Akane was as red as a tomato as she grabbed his hand and led him to the clan library.

~Clan Library~

Akane moaned as she and Naruto got into the clan library. She cradled his head to her chest and closed her eyes, memorizing the feeling of his lips over her soft creamy flesh. Naruto continued to trace kisses and gently lick her skin as he looked around. ' Damn it This library is huge!' Naruto thought as he lifted Akane , dropping the metallic ball on the ground activated.

"Let's go somewhere more….private." Naruto whispered to her as he carried her out of the library. "Hang on, I forgot my purse." Akane said as soon as the library door closed behind them. Before she could get in, Naruto grabbed her and pulled her close to him, kissing her passionately as his arms wrapped around her waist. He then backed into an open closet and sat on a nearby box.

Akane climbed on top of him and began kissing his chest. All the while, Naruto was sweating bullets. 'SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! I never expected things to go this far!' Naruto cradled her head and looked at his watch. '2:30 left…now how do I get out of this without being the bad guy?' Naruto asked himself as he saw Akane's green eyes looking at him. "Akane-chan, I'm sorry but I can't do this. You're a wonderful girl, and you deserve much better than a sleazy hall closet." Naruto said as he looked at his watch.

'One minute.' Nauto thought. "Truth be told, there are plenty of guys out there who deserve you more than i. And I fear I am not worthy of you, a goddess sitting before me. But I do hope I will someday. So for now, how about we go get your purse and head back upstairs. We can be friends and if it feels right maybe more later." Akane nodded and hugged him then got off and went to the library, to find…nothing. Naruto stepped in behind her and grabbed the silver ball off the floor, slipping it into his pocket.

After the purse had been retrieved, they headed back upstairs and rejoined the party. As they made their way through the crowds, Akane was too distracted by her thoughts to notice Naruto leave. 'Amazing… guys always take the first chance of a one night stand they have with me, but he turned it down because I deserve better… Maybe this one is different.' Akane thought., then looked around to see Naruto…gone? "Steve-kun?"

~ with Naruto ~

Naruto grinned as he headed to the servants exit. He grabbed the trash bag from behind the stack of crates and was about to leave, until he saw the open fire where the food for the feast was to be cooked. 'Don't want to leave them disappointed.' He thought as he threw the trash bag into the fire. As soon as he made sure the bag and its contents had been burned, he started to leave, the smell of trash filling the air.

~ Outside the Namikaze House- Servant Entrance ~

Naruto smirked as he walked outside, but was stopped by an Anbu. "Hey, may I ask you a few questions?" "Fire Away." Naruto said. "Yes, well why did you exit through the servants entrance? And how do you know the Namikazes? I'm sorry if this is inconvenient, but we had a break in recently and need to check everyone." "Oh, I was here as Akane-san's date. And I left through the servant's entrance because she's been hunting me like a lion hunts a gazelle all evening." Naruto smoothly replied.

The Anbu chuckled under his mask at the poor man's misfortune. "alright, sir that is all I needed. You might want to leave soon though. From the ruckus I hear over the radio, I think your date is looking for you." Naruto gulped, turned heel and ran. The anbu chuckled and went back to his post.

~ With Naruto ~

Naruto grinned happily as he headed to the entrance hatch near the forest of death. He looked around and after making sure the coast was clear, went in. He was greeted by the hologram of Jarvis and a robot with Natalya's hologram over it. "Mission Status?" She asked. "Success." Naruto said as he tossed the sphere of silver to Natalya. "Get to the meeting room. I want you debriefed."

Naruto nodded and went to the meeting room.

~ One Steamy Debriefing Later ~

Naruto walked out of the debriefing room blushing with an embarrassed looking Natalya following him. He had just told her about what he did to gain access to the library, and to say he was embarrassed was to say the least. She was like his mother! "Don't be embarrassed. You did what you had to do to get the mission done. As long as you don't kill an innocent, it's fine." She said as she looked him in the eye.

"Seduction is a powerful weapon. The sooner you master it, the better off you will be. Now go get some rest you cheeky brat. Tomorrow you have a new teacher and Tony's lessons." Naruto nodded dumbly and headed to his room, still embarrassed. "He's growing up to be a fine protégé." Natalya turned to see Captain America standing behind her.

"He is, but I'm worried about him. Sure he managed to do what needed to be done for this mission, but what if the next one proves to be too difficult for him?" she asked. "Did you teach him everything you know? Pour every ounce of knowledge into him?" steve asked. "Yes, but.." "No buts." Steve cut her off. "You have given him the tools he needs to be successful, how he uses them is up to him."

Natalya sighed and disconnected herself from her bot, captain did the same after a few minutes of thinking. Naruto was growing well, and in a few years his training with the Avengers would be complete. Jarvis seemed to be making leaps and bounds to cracking the super soldier formula, but should he allow Naruto to become the next super soldier? Cap sighed and shut his bot unit off. Who knows what tomorrow would bring?

~ The Next Day – After Breakfast ~

Naruto grinned as he headed to the training Area. He would be getting a new teacher today, one that would round off his training. As soon as Naruto stepped into the Area, his senses screamed at him to move. He back flipped and narrowly missed 3 throwing knives landing before him. They looked like kunai, except more lightweight and… thinner? "Good, you've got some sense of reflexes." Naruto looked up to see a man with short clean cut brown hair and brown eyes.

He was wearing loose black cargo pants, boots, a black T-shirt, some kind of vest, a black beret with no insignia, and fingerless gloves. Behind him were caches upon caches of weapons, ranging from throwing knives to swords to bows to anything in between. "I'm Hawkeye, and for the next two years, you're my apprentice."
