NOTICE MASS RELEASE!!!! A CHAPTER A DAY THIS WEEK!!!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What do you mean Tsunade-baa-chan?" Naruto asked as he rubbed the back of his head. He was now at the rank of Jounin, and he was now eighteen years of age, and as fate would have it he was the spitting image of the Yondaime Hokage, Minato Namikaze . "Don't call me that Naruto!" Tsunade angrily retorted and flicked Naruto in the forehead sending him back far enough that it made the point to stop calling her that.

"As I was saying…the Uzumaki clan is nearly extinct you are the last. You will need to find yourself a girl or a few to ensure that the line continues. Now I know what you're going to say. There is an old law that states that if a clan is about to die out polygamy will be considered legal." Tsunade spoke with a sly smirk on her face waiting for Naruto to over react as usual.

Naruto's eyes were wide with shock, his right eye twitched as his jaw hung open. "But…how…I…err…." he stammered in a rare moment of Naruto being speechless.

"Now I will be nice and set you up on a date with my apprentice Shizune. Or would you rather be on a date with Sakura? Hmm brat? I know I'll arrange for you to have a date with both of them on different nights. Be gentleman to them or I will send you flying like I do that pervert you train under!" Tsunade cracked her knuckles to drive the point, and smiled in a grandmotherly way when she saw him nod.

Fortunately for Naruto neither of said Apprentices were there. He sighed softly wondering how he got into this kind of mess, he never knew his clan was that important, seeing as the village treated him like filth. He scratched his cheek subconsciously he wasn't sure how he was gonna survive this. No sane man would want to have that many women in their life.

"You may leave now Naruto. For now your mission is to find some girls to help ensure the continuance of your Clan." was all Tsunade said as she waved Naruto off.

Once outside Tsunade's office Naruto once again rubbed his head, he was still trying to wrap his head around what just happened. Just as he was about to come to a conclusion, the worst person for this situation came up patted him on the back, it was none other than Jiraiya. And he was smiling that lecherous smile of his.

"Hahahaha. Naruto my boy you get to live out every man's fantasy! Take this opportunity and marry all the pretty girls you can! Of course be sure to take a test drive first!" He then gave his famous thumbs up smiling broadly.

"Only you would think that you Ero-sennin!" Naruto said with a somewhat childish attitude for a moment as he crossed his arms over his chest glaring at Jiraiya. Honestly how perverted could the old man be, in public none the less!

"Oh come on Naruto. Who's gonna be first? Don't tell me that Pink haired girl you've been crazy about for years! Or is it the Hyuuga Heiress? Ooh I know! It's going to be that Yamanaka girl! I know you and her have been spending some time together!" Jiraiya continued to harass his student while getting lecherous thoughts in his head. Just as Jiraiya looked for Naruto he noticed that something was missing, Naruto. Jiraiya could only smirk while thinking numerous lecherous thoughts.

Naruto walked through Konoha muttering about a lecherous Ero-Sennin, he had enough to worry about as it is. Just as if by good favor there was something to distract him, and get him to focus on the present.

"Naruto-kun! There you are!" came a boisterous feminine voice as he was suddenly glomped. He looked back to see it was Ino, she was the only girl he knew of with the guts to glomp a ninja. "Why were you taking so long to come visit me Naruto-kun?" She said acting like the spoiled princess she is, going into a fake pout.

"Baa-chan was telling me something about how I have to restore my clan. So she says I have to marry numerous women and make sure my clan is revived." Naruto said oblivious to who he was talking to. Ino just smiled darkly and tightened her arms around his neck. "Is that so…" was her response her eye twitching in anger, there was no way she would be fond of sharing Naruto. It took her long enough to get him to start dating her in the first place, but then again if she was somehow the favorite it would be okay too.

"Can't…breath Ino-chan…" Naruto called out short on breath from how tight Ino had her arms around his neck. Ino realized she was pretty much strangling Naruto, she loosened her arms and smiled in embarrassment. "So where are you taking me to dinner this time? And no Ichiraku…you eat enough of that stuff as it is!" Ino chimed whilst nagging him.

Much to the dismay of Naruto, and his wallet he ended up going to a fancy restaurant with Ino since for obvious reasons he couldn't say no to her. It was fortunate for Naruto too that people stopped seeing the Kyuubi when they saw him, they now saw him as the son of the Yondaime Hokage, and as someone who would one day become Hokage. It made Naruto's life easier, even if he and Ino kept their relationship secret, it just made it easier for them. Especially since Naruto didn't want Sakura and Ino to start arguing like they were prone to. But for the moment Naruto felt like his 'mission' wasn't too important. He had the company of a lovely lady. Even if she was as mouthy as he was, uh oh that's right he was having dinner with her, and he was thinking about how his life had changed.

"Ne!? Naruto are you listening to me!?" Ino bellowed out as she hit Naruto over the head.

No problem at all. Naruto just gave her his genuine smile, and that seemed to keep her from yelling at him anymore. Of course it just means that his life was going to be getting more interesting from this point on.

"Of course I am! You were saying something about how you want me to get my own house…instead of living with Haku-chan, and Zabuza-san." He in all truth had been guessing, after all Ino had been on his case about it for a while now.

"That's right!" was all she said, while shooting Naruto the very look all men fear.

'Her dad warned me about that look…' Naruto thought as he smiled nervously in fear, he ran his hand through his unruly spiky hair afraid Ino would hurt him.

"Now are you absolutely sure. You can't just marry me?" She had a very scary look in her eyes.

"Yes, Baa-chan's orders! Honest. But, even though I'm not keen on this…I will love you each equally…but you will receive a bit more love than the others." He held his hands up afraid of being hit, mostly a natural reflex from his former team mate Sakura hitting him so often. Hopefully this would work to appease the ever bossy girlfriend,

"Good! So when are you going to ask me to marry you!" Ino smiled pleased that she made her point that she should get special attention. Naruto on the other hand sighed in relief he just had to make sure Ino got to be his first wife, if he knew what was good for him.

The news didn't take long to circulate amongst the Kunoichi who knew Naruto well, and needless to say it was enough to pique their interests. And they were trying to force their way into the Hokage's office to see if it was in fact true. Many of them thought that Naruto was completely off the market, since they could see all the signs considering he was often spending time with Ino.

"ENOUGH!" As if Tsunade, the Godaime Hokage shouting wasn't enough she slammed her fist on her desk almost shoving it through the floor. This was more than enough to get the women to calm down. "Yes it is true, Naruto is being required to rebuild his clan, but that doesn't mean you swarm him like love starved fangirls. Naruto is like the wind, you can't force him do anything. And you WILL NOT intimidate him via a certain Kazekage!" at this a certain Suna Kunoichi muttered.

Outside the office Jiraiya was eaves dropping and rubbing his hands together getting many ideas for his next novel. This was going to result in great novel more than likely. Oh yes very great!

few hours had passed, and Naruto had escorted Ino home if its one thing he learned from his makeshift family over the years is to be a gentleman. Tsunade after drilled it into his head since she knew Jiraiya would be the worst influence. They stood in front of Ino's home, Ino was practically glowing with happiness, it was a known fact she liked a guy she could control.

"Thank you for dinner Naruto-kun." She smiled happily as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "I should give you a reward!"

Just as Ino was about to kiss Naruto, just as their lips were about to touch the door of her house swung open, and Inoichi rushed out.

"Ah ha! I caught you two red handed! I knew you were dating!" Inoichi shouted in a very protective manner as he pointed at Ino and Naruto.

Ino's face was simply red, with a mixture of anger, and embarrassment, she couldn't believe her father and his over protectiveness. Naruto simple sighed softly when he saw Ino's eye twitch just before a vein popped out of her forehead. "Ooh! Dad! You are such a moment killer! And we know you know because we saw you following us!"

Naruto could only pray for a miracle in this situation watching his girlfriend argue with her father. "Excuse me…?" he hoped he could get a word in edgewise this time it never worked when Ino argued with Sakura.

And in unison Ino and Inoichi bellowed angrily, which cause Naruto shrink back a little. "WHAT IS IT!?" Naruto only sighed and took a breath. He then decided on a distraction tactic, he the pointed to the roof of Ino's house and shouted loudly "ERO-SENNIN!" and when the two looked to see, he grabbed Ino and lead her off before Inoichi knew what happened. "Wait a sec…I don't see Jiraiya-sama…" Inoichi turned only to notice Naruto and Ino were missing, his eye twitched as he only had a dead pan expression on his face.

"NA RU TO! YOU BETTER BRING MY DAUGHTER BACK THIS INSTANT!" Inoichi shook his fist being ever the protective parent. Of course nearby a famous copy ninja looked up from his book for a moment smiling under his mask recognizing that as the sound of Naruto up to something.

"Naruto-kun why did you drag me off like that!?" before Ino could complain anymore she found herself being kissed by Naruto. She could only blush for the moment not really expecting that to happen. Fortunately for Naruto it shut her up for a moment he then slipped a ring onto one of her fingers and gave her his famous grin. "Not exactly the way I wanted to do this but uh…will you marry me?" Naruto half expected her to say something over the top and act hyperactive. It surprised him to see her looking tear eyed as she wrapped her arms around him hugging him tightly.

"Of course I will. Why wouldn't I? Someone needs to be at your side given what Hokage-sama wants of you." Ino said with her special cocky smirk, her confidence is what Naruto loved about her, that and the fact she never hit him over the head for small stuff. "Now let's go inform my dad of the news before he gets any angrier." Ino then pulled Naruto off to her house. Once back at the front of Ino's house, Ino was smiling brightly.

"Guess what Dad…" Ino began, Five minutes later, it could be sworn that everyone in the village heard Inoichi yell in shock as he shouted one and one word only.

"WHAT?!"

Naruto just stared blankly as he looked at his future father in law was petrified with shock. Ino muttered and rubbed her temples in disbelief of her father's reaction. "You would think he never expected me to get engaged!" Ino sighed and shot the look at Naruto causing him to petrify immediately.

Temari paced around the room she was staying in, her fists clenched tight. She had to formulate the best way to gain Naruto's affection with out involving Gaara who was in fact Naruto's best friend. She didn't have to involve Gaara, she just needed a good way to get Naruto alone. Now it was no secret she had given up on Shikamaru long ago when she learned he was both a coward, and a lazy ass. Coward because he was deathly afraid of Gaara, and everyone knew he just wanted to lie around staring at clouds.

"Naruto Uzumaki the last eligible bachelor of Konohagakure. I will find a way to get you to fall for me. Now I just need an idea…and idea…"

She walked to the window and looked out and saw her salvation, Ichiraku Ramen. A sly smirk tugged at the corners of the Desert Rose's mouth. That was the answer, she had seen how Naruto inhaled the stuff. They did say the easiest way to a man's heart is through the stomach.

"Naruto Uzumaki…your affection shall be mine…once I buy you lunch!"

(A/N: I know its short here but when you see her next in this chapter it shall be more involved.)

Elsewhere a certain weapons mistress was contemplating her best method for gaining the affection of Naruto. She had known him for a great while she knew he was an orphan just like her. She also knew she was more fortunate than him, she remembered when the orphanage threw him out like he was some kind of animal.

"All because of something you couldn't control Naruto-kun…"

She had found that she was growing fonder of Naruto over the years since he consoled her when Neji flat out rejected her. She also realized that she had fallen in love with Naruto, but before she could tell him the chance was gone. She wouldn't interfere with Naruto's happiness but now…now was her chance. But this would require a good idea of how to impress Naruto.

"I must show Naruto how much I care for him!"

She had a fierce look of determination in her eyes as she uttered that sentence. And she began to formulate her plans for the next day in showing Naruto that she cares.

"The springtime of youth! Tenten! We will help you achieve this wish!"

Tenten turned slower her eye twitching as she saw her former sensei, and former team mate posing in her living room.

"HOW LONG HAVE YOU TWO BEEN HERE?!"

A vein was popping out of her forehead in embarrassment that members of her former team had overheard her. This was going to complicate things for her if they wanted to help her, since neither of them was in the least cunning.

"I and my adorable student! Shall help you become the bride of Naruto!" Gai gave her a thumbs up, and his teeth sparkled as he went into his good guy pose. This was followed by Lee who copied the same actions. Tenten could only give them a deadpan expression, this was rather embarrassing to watch.

"Riiiiiiiiight…" was all she could say as her right eye twitched.

It was sometime after the village heard Inoichi's scream that Naruto finally got home, he walked through the door and saw the stern look of Zabuza fall upon him. He gulped slowly he knew he was in for a lecture. Haku was no where to be seen, she was probably out at the moment.

"Boy sit down! Its time you and I have a little talk." Zabuza motioned for Naruto to sit at the table.

Naruto sat down quietly and remembered back when he faced Zabuza and Haku, back when they were Kirigakure missing-nin.

(A/N: Okay, here's where I esplain why Zabuza's and Haku are alive.)

Flashback

Naruto's growled angrily as he charged at Haku prepared to kill who he thought was a guy. As the mask fell off, Naruto slowed when he saw the face, Naruto couldn't go through with it. He quickly clenched his fist to knock Haku out. In all honesty Naruto was still too kind for the world of the shinobi.

"I won't kill you…you were deliberately missing…"

He caught Haku as she fell forward unconscious, in that moment Naruto felt something that confirmed that Haku was in fact a girl. Of course across the bridge, the fight between the Copy Ninja and the Demon of the Mist raged on. Kakashi moved through a flurry of hand seals and ran forward unleashing Raikiri, Zabuza quickly swung his sword forward, this bought him a moment's reprieve as Raikiri only destroyed the sword. A few shards of the blade flew into Zabuza's body wounding him, this was enough to insure he wouldn't be attacking anymore. Just then Naruto collapsed from using up too much chakra the next thing he knew he was waking up in a room looking around quietly. He sat up quickly and pointed in shock when he saw Zabuza and Haku.

"What are they doing here?! Aren't they our enemies?" He was worried something bad was going to happen to him.

"Relax Naruto. They're on our side, and they will be coming with us to Konohagakure." Kakashi's cool collected voice rang out as he leaned in the door way. He knew it would take a few minutes to register with Naruto. Naruto stared blankly for a moment, it slowly registered that the two were on their side and coming back with them to Konohagakure. It wasn't until sometime on their trip back that someone asked why Haku was wearing a dress.

"That's because…" Zabuza began only to be interrupted by Haku, "Because I'm a girl" Haku finished the sentence for her sensei. Of course this cause some jealousy to emanate from Sakura because of the fact Haku was much prettier, of course it didn't help to hear it come from Naruto. "Good to know Haku-chan! Because you're prettier than Sakura is!" Naruto smiled his foxy grin when he said this, but soon had a fist hit him on the top of the head.

At the Hokage's office after their trip had ended, they had explained everything including Zabuza, and Haku's wish to join the leaf.

"I will allow this on one condition Zabuza Mamoichi." Sarutobi spoke softly as he stroked his beard waiting for a response.

"And that would be?" Zabuza responded calmly, he expected it to be some suicidal mission.

"You must become Naruto's legal guardian." Zabuza the infamous Demon of the Mist was shocked to hear this. Sarutobi then continued as he took a drag on his pipe, "Naruto needs a more structured life, he's lived alone all his life…now what I am about to tell you does not leave this room it is an S ranked Village Secret."

Zabuza nodded to the condition, he may not have been the most caring man, but he did his part for Haku. He could only imagine if this kid had a bloodline limit that caused him to be shunned as well.

"Twelve years ago this village was attacked by the Kyuubi no Kitsune, and my successor the Yondaime Hokage, Minato Namikaze made the one sacrifice he could for the sake of our village. He sealed the Kyuubi inside his newborn son, he had hoped that Naruto would be regarded as a hero…but the villagers only saw a demon. As you can imagine he has had a hard life, the council overruled my wish to tell Naruto who his father is so Naruto has no idea who his father is."

Zabuza took a moment to absorb all the information, and looked at Sarutobi calmly. "I will be his guardian, I'm the Demon of the Mist, yet he is only called a demon because he has one sealed inside himself. I can see he will be a great ninja, but he needs to learn to control his emotions more."

Sarutobi smiled, he was glad to hear this, it would help make Naruto the hero Minato wanted him to be.

End Flashback

"For seven years I have been your legal guardian, but now you're old enough to take care of yourself. But still you are still a moron at times. What I want to talk to you about is Haku." Zabuza began, even after all these years he still wore the mask over his face.

"What about her Zabuza-san?"

Zabuza took a deep breath and sighed, he had grown to consider Haku like a daughter, and what he was about to say was really hard.

"I know about what the Hokage wishes of you, and I have seen how you and Haku have grown close over the years. And I had intimidated you into not starting a relationship with her. But if you break her heart I will destroy you!"

At this Naruto gulped, he had both respect and fear for Zabuza, and he would never intentionally hurt Haku. He just quickly nodded his head he didn't want to make Zabuza angrier.

"I can tell Haku loves you very much Naruto...so…you better consider her as one of your other wives because she deserves happiness too."

Naruto's eye twitched, this was getting really weird 'when did I become Sasuke?' he calmly thought to himself as he scratched his cheek for a moment. "Don't worry Zabuza-san, I will be sure to consider Haku-chan." At hearing this Zabuza nodded.

"Okay, you can go to bed now. Remember you hurt Haku and I will break you!" Zabuza quickly looked at Naruto with killing intent to back up the threat.

Naruto woke up the next morning, this of course was powering up form of Naruto. No matter how energetic he was, when he woke up he was a bit on the grumpy side. He brushed his teeth, and when he finished he found a letter attached to a kunai. 'It's too early for death threats' he thought to himself as he read the note attached to it. He read the note quietly, he was hoping things would calm down soon.

Dear Naruto

Meet me at Ichiraku Ramen for lunch. If you don't show up I will track you down and bring you there myself.

Love, the Desert Flower

"Even I can figure this out...it's from Temari." He rubbed his temples lightly, it was safe to say today would be another interesting day. After he finished brushing his teeth he walked back to the breakfast table and yawned for a moment. He then saw a bowl of ramen in front of him, piping hot hen then looked up and saw Haku smiling politely at him. Haku unlike Ino allowed him to eat ramen constantly, not that it would kill him to eat something else he just thought it would.

"This should perk you up."

Naruto just muttered a 'thanks' and began to eat quietly, he was pondering how he would survive this mission. He was certain that this enemy was beyond his means to defeat, hell hath no fury like love crazed kunoichi. 'Why, oh why did I, have to become the target of every love starved kunoichi!?' Naruto thought to himself as he ate, he also knew there was one girl in the village that wasn't a ninja but was in love with him. Sadly he would have to see her while he was at lunch with Temari. His face paled when he realized Haku was staring at him dreamily. 'Oh that's right, Baa-chan said I have to revive my clan…' he continued his train of thoughts as he ate his meal.

Meanwhile, inside Naruto's mindscape…

"You know kit…it wont be all that bad. You revive your clan, and you get to live everyman's dream!" the Kyuubi said from behind the bars of its prison as Naruto stood in front of it. Naruto probably chose

"Have you been talking to the Ero-sennin you stupid furball?" Naruto replied not looking too pleased that Kyuubi was also finding enjoyment in this.

"What's the worst that can happen your loud mouth fiancé, and the girl with the giant forehead start arguing. Its actually entertaining if you think about it." Naruto could have sworn he saw the Kyuubi smirk, at least he thought the Kyuubi was smirking. It was really hard to tell if it was. "I'm not too keen on being punched by an insanely strong Medic-nin!"

"Not like it will kill you kit." Naruto glared and grumbled as usual, why was it that most of the people he knew seem to find enjoyment in this. "You're enjoying this aren't you?" Naruto raised his eyebrow at the Kyuubi's enjoyment of his plight.

"Of course I am kit! You are suffering but you won't be killed by it." The Kyuubi once again looked as if it were smiling. Naruto just grumbled about the damn Kyuubi being a thorn in his side yet again.

Back in reality…

Only a matter of seconds had passed, he then gave her his trademark foxy grin after finishing the ramen. He smiled happily as he was now awake from his favorite meal of the day, now what do with his day until lunch. 'I could train but then again I would lose track of time and make Temari angry…' he needed to find something to keep himself occupied for most of the morning, maybe find a bigger house to live in.

"Haku-chan I'm going to go out for a while today…probably talk to baa-chan and see if she can help me find a place. I really should get a bigger house." He calmly said as he walked to his room.

Once Naruto was in his room, Haku looked disappointed at the thought of Naruto moving away from her. She never thought the day would come when he would go his own way, in fact Haku had grown attached to Naruto. She would have to make her move before her window of opportunity was gone. She didn't even have a chance as an orange and green blur rushed past her and out the door.

"Naruto I will track you down later...I'm still an oinin. I will track you down and have my chance before it's too late."

Naruto stealthily entered Hokage tower, he needed to speak to Tsunade with out running into Sakura or Shizune. Just as he was about to make it into Tsunade's office he felt some eyes on him, he slowly turned to see Shizune looking sternly at him. He forced a smile, afraid she would attack him like Sakura would. Shizune, age 25, the strengths and weaknesses of her being a possible bride in Naruto's book were simple she was nauseatingly way too cute.

"Naruto, we're you going to just barge into Tsunade-sama's office with out permission?" She crossed her arms over her chest as she walked over to Naruto slowly.

"Eh heh…I just needed to ask Baa-chan if she knows of a bigger house I could move into." He raised his hands up obviously afraid of Shizune, the cute ones were always the most deadly.

"Now Naruto-kun why are you so afraid of me? Is it because you're now the most sought after ninja in Konohagakure, after you seem to have really grown into your body..." a sly smirk crossed her face as she approached Naruto.

And as if by some miracle of luck the doors to Tsunade's office opened.

"Get in here brat!" Tsunade yelled as she pulled Naruto into her office closing the doors quickly. He sighed in relief he didn't need to have a girl coming onto him this early in the morning.

"Thank you Tsunade-sama." Naruto decided to avoid making Tsunade angry at him it never ended well when he did. She raised an eyebrow at his sudden politeness, this was very unlike Naruto.

"Who are you? And what have you done with Naruto?" She cracked her knuckles and prepared to flick his forehead. Politeness didn't fit the Kyuubi's Jinchuuriki, it was peculiar, and very unnatural. It was as unnatural as the time they slipped Shikamaru some caffeine pills and he was more hyper than Naruto.

"What do you want Naruto?" Tsunade was quick to figure out that Naruto probably came to get a favor. And she had a good idea what it was. It was going to be one of those days where everything makes as much sense as the strange world that Jiraiya lived in.

"Well you see Tsunade-baa-chan…I um need to see about getting a bigger house…since I have to marry so many women…and the space would be good, especially for my health, at least my mental health that is. Where I live is too small…and I doubt Ino likes me living with a girl prettier than her." Naruto kept his guard up in case Tsunade flicked his forehead.

Tsunade smiled, and walked to her desk pulling out a folder, she set out on the table open. It detailed the Uzumaki compound, which no one lived in anymore.

"This is where you will be living, it belonged to your father the Yondaime, but the council didn't want you as they so kindly put it 'tainting' it so they wouldn't let you live there. Needless to say they are all gone…funny how old age catches up to them." Tsunade smiled, she then threw a kunai into the wall causing Jiraiya to reveal himself. "Make yourself useful you letch and take Naruto there." it was rather shameful in her book that Jiraiya was watching the happenings in the village like some sick twisted man…wait that's typical of Jiraiya except he's usually outside a bathhouse.

"Yes Tsunade…sheesh…you sure know how to give a man a heart attack…" when Tsunade and Naruto just gave him the deadpan expression he sighed, "right let's go brat".

"Okay here it is brat…" Jiraiya, simply smirked as Naruto's jaw hung agape, the size was incredible. It made the Hyuuga compound look like his first apartment, he had no idea his family was that powerful, then again his father was called the Yellow Flash.

"This should be big enough…I'll have to show Ino…but I won't move in until next week I think…" Naruto smiled as he rubbed the back of his head, it was going to be an adjustment. He then realized that he had to be at Ichiraku Ramen soon, he swallowed hard as he thought of what Temari might do if he was late.

"Crap! I gotta go! Temari will kill me!" Naruto pulled on his hair as he rushed off, towards Ichiraku leaving a smirking Jiraiya at the compound.

"This should be worth at least one whole chapter!" Jiraiya then disappeared in a blur heading in the same direction to watch Naruto on a date with Sunagakure's most beautiful kunoichi.

(A/N: Rejoice here is what you've been waiting for. Naruto's date with Temari…with a garnish of NaruAyame enjoy!)

Naruto panted as he reached the ramen stand with only five minutes to spare, he hoped he was on time because Temari wasn't someone that made idle threats. He caught his breathe just in time as Temari walked along side of him and latched onto his arm, now it wasn't a shock to anyone that Temari had it going on. But still Naruto had to blush, and frankly it wasn't like he could turn her down, Temari was known to get what she wants.

"Hello Naruto-kun. I see you got my message…good. Otherwise I would have had Gaara 'convince' you to go out with me." it was somewhat disturbing to the spiky haired blonde at how sweetly Temari made it sound. "Order whatever you want Naruto-kun, it's my treat!"

"Are you sure Temari-chan? I mean I can eat a lot." He then pointed to the stand which displayed a portrait of him that said '#1 Customer' below it. Temari nodded softly and pulled Naruto to the stand and gave him a look that said 'sit'. He complied not wanting her to hit him over the head with her fan, he didn't need a headache today, but he knew he might end up with one.

"Welcome Naruto-kun!" Ayame greeted them cheerfully, though she blushed slightly. This of course cause Temari to wonder why Naruto ate Ramen so often, was it because he enjoyed the company of this girl.

"Hello Ayame-chan, hello Teuchi-san." Naruto chimed he had gone a whole day with out Ichiraku Ramen, he felt like he was going cold turkey.

"What'll you have Naruto? You're usual two of everything?" Teuchi knew Naruto loved Ramen, but frankly he had no idea where he put it all. Teuchi then noticed his daughter was looking at Naruto like a love struck school girl he could only smile at this.

"No. I think I will eat light today." Naruto smiled brightly then looked over at Temari, he then began to subconsciously go over what not to do when out on a date, especially when its Gaara's sister. "So. I'll just have four bowls of miso pork ramen." He just kept his usual grin.

'He calls that eating light? I wonder what he calls a large meal.' Temari raised her eyebrow delicately at Naruto's odd idea of a light meal. "I'll just have one bowl of miso shrimp ramen."

When the food was set before them, Naruto smiled, he had always loved ramen since he was a child. He smiled and picked up his chop sticks and smiled happily.

"Itadakimatsu!" he called out loudly as he broke the chopsticks apart, and began to eat. Temari had followed suit she was amazed to see Naruto eating with manners, 'When he eats like a civilized person he's even more attractive.' Temari thought to her self as a sly smile crossed her face.

"You know, Naruto, I never really thanked you for helping Gaara come to his senses." Temari smiled sweetly as she looked at Naruto.

"I didn't do that much…" Naruto just scratched his cheek quietly, he had become less cocky over the years, it didn't hurt that Zabuza knocked him down a peg quite often. But he had to wonder was his life going to be a living hell later on from all these strong women who were interested in him.

"Naruto is with Temari too…? He hasn't even been engaged to Ino for 24 hours yet. How troublesome…" Shikamaru said as he walked by with his son, Shikataro. 'Then again it's what she always wanted…I was never energetic enough, and I was too afraid of her brother.' Shikamaru was off in his own thoughts again. "Man what a drag…I would hate to see the children they have." and like that he was on his way. That is before Temari hurt him for that comment about horrible children.

Once they were done, and Temari had paid for the meal realizing that he ate 'light' out of consideration for her. This must be the reason why all the girls were crazy about Naruto. She of course knew that Naruto still had a demon sealed inside of him, so he had a higher metabolism rate. Temari noticed Naruto was starting to slink away and quickly grabbed his arm in a vice like grip.

"Not so fast Naruto Uzumaki! Our date isn't over just yet!" she then drug Naruto off, needless to say Naruto had a look of dismay on his face. "And don't think of using that 'but Gaara will kill me' excuse!" with that she dragged him off.

Off to the side, a certain novelist was writing what had transpired down, "Good, good! My next Novel! Icha Icha Engagements shall be a best seller!" He smiled broadly and jumped off keeping a safe distance. Yes it was true…the Ero-Sennin had decided to go in a new direction. Romance Novels! He had heard women like that sort of thing.

Hours later Naruto found himself sitting with Temari on top of the Hokage monument, though at first he was reluctant he was enjoying this. He saw Temari wasn't so horrible, just a tad bossy, then again most of the women he knew were bossy.

"You know Naruto-kun I'm not as vicious as Shikamaru made me out to be. It's just mostly just living with a brother who was a bit crazy." She smiled softly as she rested her head on his shoulder. "And I don't mean Kankuro."

"I knew you meant Gaara…does he at least get some sleep? I think he needed a nap." Naruto smiled softly before Temari jabbed him in the ribs. "I'm kidding!"

"You're a bad comedian, you better stick to being a ninja…" she said with a deadpan look on her face. 'Perfect, just have to wait 'til he's in love with me' once again the beauty of Suna smirked. "You will have to take me out again, Naruto-kun…by the way Gaara is coming to the village soon." Temari smirked as all the blood left Naruto's face, it was an expected reaction.

"It's getting pretty late..." Temari began as she looked at Naruto, she looked him dead in the eyes, her green (sorry they look green) eyes locking with his lapis lazuli like eyes. She then leaned forward and kissed him softly on the lips. The knuckleheaded blonde didn't fight back any either, his face turned the most interesting shade of red though.

"…Hummina…Gaara is going to kill me!" He then got jabbed in the ribs again, and just chuckled.

"He isn't going to kill you…now escort me home future Rokudaime Hokage." she smirked as Naruto nodded. Naruto first stood to his feet and then helped her up smiling the way he normally does. "Much better…I prefer that grin on your face fox boy." and with that they walked off heading to where Temari was staying.

After dropping Temari off at the apartment she was staying in, he walked home he caught a glimpse of Rock Lee, and Gai-sensei acting like they always do. Like they were on an acid trip, or needed to down the dosage on their psychiatric medications, either way it was very unusual, yet normal behavior for them. Naruto walked through the door of his home, he had one hope that his day wasn't going to get any crazier. Sadly, no dice! He walked in to see Hiashi, and Hinata Hyuuga in his living room, what kind of insanity is going on here.

"Naruto…I've been meaning to speak with you." Hiashi's cold, voice rang out, and like most Hyuuga he acted like he had the scroll of forbidden jutsu shoved up his rear. Naruto mumbled and sat down across from the Hyuuga's this was just going to be fun.

"Yes, what is it?" Naruto said with an exhausted tone to his voice, he glanced at Hinata and noticed she was blushing as usual. She had become quite the catch over the years, and amazingly she was still single.

"I have a proposition that will benefit your clan, before the birth of you, or Hinata even. I and your father Minato made an arrangement. And that was for his first born son, to wed my first born daughter. It should also serve to make the Uzumaki Clan stronger…so in two weeks you shall wed Hinata." It was impossible to see if this was joke or if he was really serious.

"I-I g-g-get to m-m-m-marry Naru-Naruto-kun?" the Hyuuga heiress managed to stutter out before blushing bright red and fainting onto the floor. Hiashi's eye twitched, this was quite embarrassing.

"She still does that huh?" Naruto asked as he looked at an unconscious yet smiling happily Hinata.

"I'm afraid so…I hope she gets over it. We don't need to have that happen at the ceremony." Hiashi's eye was still twitching in disbelief.
