Chapter 41

(5 Days Later; 11:30 p.m. Small Village Just Outside Iwagakure)

"*Sigh* Do you think they'll be finished anytime soon?" Shisui asked in an annoyed tone. Sitting to Shisui's left was Sai, and to his right sat Choji. Both shinobi had a similar look of annoyance on their face. All three of them sported a bright blush on their face, as they listened to the 'activities' happening in the room next to them. Before either Choji or Sai had a chance to speak a loud moan pierced into their room.

"YES! THIS FEELS FANTASTIC!"

Konan's scream of pleasure caused all of their blushes to darken several shades. Choji was so red that Shisui thought the poor boy was going to pass out from sheer embarassment. When the screaming had died down once again, Sai cleared his throat.

"From the sounds of it they're nearing the end. Konan and Ryuuzetsu are usually the last to have a go at Naruto." Sai said, trying his best to keep his mind off what was happening in the adjacent room. Shisui was surprised to see that Sai was blushing. However after hearing what they had heard for the past two hours would even make someone as perverted as Jiraiya blush slightly. As if on cue another scream of ecstasy was heard, this time from Ryuuzetsu, proving Sai's point.

"OH KAMI! NARUTO THIS IS AMAZING!"

"Why can't he just use some Kage Bunshin, and speed all of this up?" Choji groaned, as he covered his head with a pillow.

"You heard what Naruto said. To those girls it's not the same thing if it's not coming from the original." Shisui replied, pulling out his tantō. The Uchiha then reached into his pack and pulled out a few supplies. With a light sigh, Shisui began to process of cleaning his weapon. "I give them another five minutes tops."

(In Naruto's Room)

"Oh, Naruto this is simply heavenly." Ryuuzetsu moaned, as she sunk deeper into her chair.

"Well I guess Ero-sennin did teach me a few useful things." Naruto said with a grin, sitting in front of the white-haired beauty. The blonde continued his ministrations, causing Ryuuzetsu to let out another soft moan.

"Kami, this is the best foot massage I've ever gotten." Ryuuzetsu said, as she slightly curled her toes.

"I know that bastard is the world's biggest pervert, but he sure knows how to give one hell of a massage." Anko said with a relaxed look on her face.

"No kidding, I might actually have to thank him for teaching Naruto-kun his techniques." Ino commented, as she curled and uncurled her toes.

"Tsunade-sama is lucky to have his magic hands all to herself." Tenten said, earning a pout from Naruto.

"Hey! I'm right here you know!" Naruto exclaimed, as he stopped massaging Ryuuzetsu's feet.

"Naruto..." Ryuuzetsu growled, causing the blonde's body to go stiff. "Don't. You. Dare. Stop."

"Yes Ryuuzetsu-chan." Naruto said in a dejected tone, as he got back to work.

"Oh, don't be like that Naruto." Sakura said with a small smile. "You know that no one can replace you in our eyes."

"Y-Yeah, you're the o-only person we'd want t-touching our bodies." Hinata stuttered out with a slight blush dusting across her face.

"If that pervert ever tries to lay a finger on me, I'll break his arms." Temari snarled, remembering when Jiraiya had tried to peep on her during her date with Naruto to the hot springs. "Tsunade-sama can have him all to herself, I'd much rather have you Naruto."

"Thanks girls." Naruto said with a smile, as he finished up Ryuuzetsu's massage. "I love you all."

"And we all love you." Sakura said, kissing Naruto on the cheek. "Now let's get everyone packed and ready to go. If we leave soon, we should be able to arrive in Iwa by two o'clock."

"Aw come on pinkie; can't we just relax for a little while longer. I mean we all just got foot massages for crying out loud." Anko whined, as she stretched out in her bed. "Come on, someone back me up here."

"Sorry Anko, but I'm gonna have to agree with forehead." Ino said, crossing her arms under her ample chest. The platinum blonde suddenly turned around, and glared at the wall behind her. "Because if I have to hear Shisui sigh one more time, I'M GONNA HEAD OVER THERE AND KICK HIS ASS!"

"SORRY!" Shisui's voice called out from the next room.

"Come on Anko. Iwa is the last stop on our trip." Tenten added, as slowly got out of the chair she was sitting in. "Once we're finished there, we can finally head back home."

"I-I must agree with Tenten. I-I've been rather h-homesick lately, a-and I wouldn't m-mind returning home soon." Hinata said, pressing her index fingers together.

"Fine..." Anko said, as she got up from her bed and grabbed her pack. "You guys are right, so let's get moving. I wouldn't mind heading back home either."

"Sakura-chan, you take the other girls and go check out. I'll go tell the guys that we're ready to leave." Naruto said, exiting the room out into the hallway. The blonde walked over to the adjacent room, and gently knocked on the door. After a few minutes Sai opened the door.

"Oh, looks like dickless is done having his fun." Sai chided, causing an annoyed look to form on Naruto's face.

"After what we just had to listen to, I'm pretty sure he isn't 'dickless' Sai." Choji said, as he lifted the pillow of his head.

"I swear you and those girls are like a bunch of rabbits in heat." Shisui said dryly, resheathing his tantō and putting away his cleaning supplies.

"What the hell are you three on about?" Naruto asked, quirking a blonde eyebrow.

"Are you serious?" Sai replied with a frown. "We've been listening to you and your girls humping like wild animals for the past two hours."

"Humping?" Naruto repeated with a confused look on his face. After a few moments Naruto connected the dots, and he burst out laughing.

"What the hell is so funny?" Shisui asked in a confused tone.

"HAHA! I wasn't having sex with any of my girls! BWAHAHA!" Naruto laughed, as he held his stomach.

"The hell you weren't! We could hear you in there!" Choji exclaimed, shooting up off the bed.

"No...hahaha...no you've got it all wrong." Naruto said, as he wiped a tear from his eye. "I was...haha...I was giving my girls foot massages."

"What?" All three shinobi said simultaneously with a deadpanned expression.

"Yeah..." Naruto said, his laughter finally calming down. "Ero-sennin taught me a bunch of his special massages during my training trip."

"So all that moaning we've been hearing all throughout this trip has been you giving your girls massages?" Shisui asked in a skeptical tone.

"Yep, I haven't had sex with any of my girls since we left Konoha." Naruto explained, before he suddenly leaned closer. "But I can tell that they're starting to get really anxious. You know what they say; women get a lot hornier when they're pregnant."

"That's a real thing?" Choji asked, quirking an eyebrow.

"Hell yeah, those girls practically jump me every time we're alone. But I've held off doing anything with them until we get back home, and I can tell they're starting to get antsy. It gets really hard sometimes, because I can hear them 'relieving' themselves from time to time." Naruto replied, placing his hands on his hips.

"Wow sounds like you have it real rough." Shisui said sarcastically, as he rolled his eyes.

"Hey, you have no idea how hard this is on me." Naruto hissed in a slightly upset tone. "Do you have any idea how hard it is to resist eight beautiful and horny girls constantly. I've got a serious case of blue balls going on right now."

"Ouch, that does sound pretty bad." Choji said, as he winced slightly.

"What are 'blue' balls?" Sai asked with a confused look.

"I'll tell you some other time." Shisui replied, placing a hand on Sai's shoulder. "So what did you want Naruto?"

"Well I came to tell you guys that we're ready to leave." Naruto said, as he gestured down the hall. "The girls are checking out right now."

"Finally, we've been ready to go all morning." Choji said, pushing past Shisui and Naruto. "Let's get back onto the road."

"Alright, let's get going." Naruto said, as he followed behind Choji.

After Naruto's team had checked out of the inn they were staying at; they were once again on the road towards their final destination. The area surrounding Iwagakure was very mountainous, and was widely know to be very dangerous. Steep cliffs and deep ravines surrounded the village on all sides. Naruto had decided that it was best for the group to take it slow through the rough terrain. After carefully navigating the treacherous terrain for almost three hours; Iwa's gates finally came into view. But as Naruto's group near, the ground beneath them began to rumble. Before any of the team could react their legs became encased in stone; stopping them in their tracks.

"Great, another warm welcome." Naruto said sarcastically, as a group of Iwa shinobi sprang from the ground in front of them. A large amount of dirt and debris was kicked up; partially concealing the shinobi that had burst out of the ground.

"Well, well what do we have here?" A gruff voice asked, as the dust began to settle. Before Naruto's team stood a tall and brawny shinobi. The imposing man also sported a dark-grey beard and a bulbous nose. "Looks like we've got a few Konoha shinobi trying to enter our village."

"Wait, I know you." Sakura said, as she scanned the Iwa shinobi up and down several times. "Yeah...You're...um...Kitsuchi, yeah that's it. You were the commander of the short-range battle division during the war."

"That is correct girl, I was appointed head of village security when the war ended." Kitsuchi voiced, walking up the Konoha group; with the other two Iwa shinobi following close behind. "Now, please explain why you all wish to enter our village. Because seeing a Konoha shinobi, let alone a whole group, around these parts is extremely rare."

"We're here on a mission directly from the Hokage. I'm to meet with the Tsuchikage, and speak with him. He should have already received word that I would be arriving." Naruto explained, as he slowly reached into his pack and pulled out a manila folder. "This folder holds all of my mission instructions, straight from the Hokage's desk." Kitsuchi eyed the folder for a moment, before he grabbed it from Naruto's hand. "We have nothing to hide."

"Hmm, everything seems to check out." Kitsuchi said, handing the folder back to Naruto. All the Konoha shinobi let out a sigh of relief when the stones binding their legs fell apart. "If you follow me, I'll take you all straight to Tsuchikage-sama."

As Naruto followed Kitsuchi through the village, he never noticed a pair of pink eyes watching him. Kurotsuchi couldn't help the smirk that spread across her face, as she watched the blonde jinchuriki walk through the village.

"So the 'Hero of the Shinobi World' has graced our village with his presence." Kurotsuchi said to herself, as her smirk widened. "I'll have to personally welcome him to our village."

(Five Minutes Later; Tsuchikage's Office)

Iwa's Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, grumbled to himself as he sat at his desk. The short elderly man could barely be seen behind the large stacks of paperwork on his desk. Ever since the war had ended Iwa had been flooded with job requests. People around the elemental nations needed experienced Doton users to help repair the damages that were caused during the fighting. As Ōnoki continued to sign documents, his loyal bodyguard Akatsuchi stood at his side. The large man was extremely loyal to the Tsuchikage, and was even known as his 'shield.'

"*Sigh* Will this paperwork never end?" Ōnoki complained, as he finished looking over another stack of papers. "When is that gaki Kakashi sent gonna be here? Maybe he can alleviate me of my incessant boredom."

"Don't worry Tsuchikage-sama, you should be finished before nightfall. Plus, this is the last batch of paperwork that you have. I know you've been working long hours the past few weeks. So once you're finished you should be able to take the next few days off to relax." Akatsuchi said, earning a sigh of relief from Ōnoki.

"It will be nice to have a few days of downtime." Ōnoki said, as he quickly read over a new document. "Maybe I'll go visit Kurotsuchi. It's been quite a while since I've spent any time with her."

"She seemed pretty excited to hear that Naruto Uzumaki was coming to our village." Akatsuchi said offhandedly, causing Ōnoki to raise an eyebrow.

"Did she happen to say why?" Ōnoki asked with hint of intrigue in his voice.

"No, but to be honest I didn't really question her on it." Akatsuchi replied with a shrug of his shoulders. "I'm rather excited to see him as well. He is the 'Hero of the Shinobi World' after all. I'd love to speak with him."

"He's Minato Namikaze's son you know?" Ōnoki pointed out, casting a quick glance at Akatsuchi.

"Yes, most of the village knows that now. I know Naruto's father killed a great number of our soldiers during the Third Shinobi World War, but that's all in the past now." Akatsuchi said, as he turned to look out a window at the village below them. "I hold no ill feelings towards Minato or Naruto. It was wartime, and Minato was simply carrying out his orders and doing his duties as a soldier."

"Hmm, I used to hold such a strong and bitter grudge towards Minato and Konoha." Ōnoki said, his brows furrowing as he stared down at his desk. "There was a time where I would have had killed Naruto just for being Minato's son; even if he was just a small child. But after meeting the boy he has opened my eyes. He made me realize the error of my ways, and because of him I wish to strengthen our village's bond with Konoha; and other villages across the elemental nations. Naruto dreams of peace in the shinobi world, and now so do I. During my long life, I've lived through three shinobi world wars, and I don't wish to experience another. I've seen enough bloodshed to last a thousand life times. So I've decided to help Naruto obtain his dream of world peace in any way I can."

"Well said, Tsuchikage-sama." Akatsuchi said, but before he could say anymore a sudden knock came from the door.

"Come in!" Ōnoki shouted, as he pushed his paperwork aside.

"Tsuchikage-sama, there are some Konoha shinobi here to see you." Kitsuchi said, opening the door and allowing Naruto's team to enter.

"Ah, so you've finally arrived Naruto." Ōnoki said in a happy tone. The elderly man gestured to a group of seats in front of his desk. "Please, come take a seat."

"Thank you Tsuchikage-jiji." Naruto said, causing a tic mark to form on the Tsuchikage's forehead. The blonde jinchuriki walked towards the desk, and took a seat in one of the available chairs. "I take it that you know why I'm here?"

"Yes, Kakashi sent word of your arrival about a week ago." Ōnoki answered, as he glanced at the rest of Naruto's team. "But, I'd rather discuss these matters in private. If your team is willing, I'm sure Akatsuchi can find somethings for them around the village. We've been extremely busy since the war ended, and we could use all the help we can get."

"Sure, we'd be happy to lend a hand." Sakura said with a bright smile.

"Good." Ōnoki said, turning towards Akatsuchi. "Take the rest of Naruto's team, find out what their specialized in, and find them some work to do."

"Of course Tsuchikage-sama." Akatsuchi said, as he bowed slightly. However before Akatsuchi could lead Naruto's team out of the room; the blonde jinchuriki stopped him. Naruto pulled the large man close, and whispered in his ear.

"Hey, all of the girls are pregnant. So don't have them do anything too strenuous." Naruto whispered, earning a nod from Akatsuchi. "Thanks man."

"So my boy, what would you like to discuss?" Ōnoki asked as soon as Akatsuchi and the rest of Naruto's team had exited the room.

"Everything we'll need to talk about is outlined in this document." Naruto replied, handing Ōnoki the same manila folder he had given Kitsuchi. The elderly man took the folder from Naruto, and began to read over its contents. "If there's anything you don't want to discuss, I'm totally oaky with that. Kakashi-sensei gave me orders not to try and pry information out of the kage. We just want to know if Konoha can aid the other shinobi villages. This mission is the first step of my training to become Hokage, so I'm really trying my best."

"Well I have no problem discussing anything Kakashi on here." Ōnoki said, as he set the manila folder down on his desk. "I must admit that our village has been overwhelmed since the war ended, so we could use a little extra help. We would gratefully accept any aid that Konoha can offer."

"That's great to hear." Naruto said with a wide smile, pulling a pen and pad of paper out of his pack. "Let's get this show on the roll then."

(Two and Half Hours Later)

"I believe that's everything that Kakashi wanted to know." Ōnoki said, as he leaned back in his chair.

"Good, I'll send this information to Kakashi-sensei as soon as possible." Naruto said, storing away the papers that he had filled out. The blonde jinchuriki stood to leave, but he was stopped by Ōnoki.

"Before you leave, was there anything else you wished to discuss?" Ōnoki asked, causing Naruto to go stiff for a moment. This wasn't missed by the elderly kage. "I couldn't help but notice that you seemed rather tense during our discussion. Was there anything extra that you wished to speak about?"

"Actually, yes there is Tsuchikage-jiji." Naruto replied, as he once again sat in his seat. The blonde shinobi clasped his hands in his lap, and looked Ōnoki right in the eyes. "There's two more matters that I need to speak with you about."

"Okay, I still have some spare time. So out with it boy." Ōnoki said, leaning back forward in his seat.

"The first thing I wish to talk about has to deal with your village's jinchuriki." Naruto explained, causing Ōnoki to quirk an eyebrow. "Han and Rōshi are alive."

"Hmm, I already know that Rōshi is alive." Ōnoki said, causing Naruto's eyes to widen in shock.

"How could you possibly know that?" Naruto asked in a surprised tone.

"Because he's in the village as we speak." Ōnoki revealed, completely stupefying the blonde jinchuriki. "He showed up at the village gates almost two weeks ago. After we determined that it was really him, and after he tried to explain why he was again back in the land of the living, we allowed him back into our village. He is a very skilled and experienced shinobi, so we quickly folded him back into our ranks." Ōnoki's eyes narrowed as he stared at Naruto. "Although I'm quite curious as to why Rōshi is alive. All he could tell us was that it likely had something to with you."

"*Sigh* It's true, I brought all the jinchuriki and many other fallen shinbone back to life." Naruto explained, as he activated his rinnegan. Ōnoki was surprised to see that Naruto possessed the legendary dojutsu. But he didn't let his shock show outwardly. Instead Ōnoki floated out of his seat, and approached Naruto.

"How did you come to possess such a powerful dojutsu?" Ōnoki asked, stroking his beard while he inspected Naruto's rinnegan.

"My 'former' friend Sasuke was given this rinnegan during our fight against Madara." Naruto said, as he deactivated his rinnegan. "After I...killed Sasuke...I took his rinnegan so that I would be unable to undo the Infinite Tsukuyomi and bring back the brave shinobi that had died fighting during the war."

"I see." Ōnoki mused, as he sat back down into his seat. "Why did you bring up Rōshi and Han?"

"Well the bijuu wished to be sealed within their jinchuriki once again." Naruto replied, as he placed a hand on his stomach; lightly clutching the fabric over his seal. "They want to prove that bijuu and humans can live together in harmony. They've seen how well Kurama and I get along, and they want similar relationships with their former jinchuriki. Kokuō and Son Gokū are the only two bijuu that are still waiting to be resealed."

"Rōshi did seem adamant about possibly having Son Gokū sealed back within him." Ōnoki said in a thoughtful tone. "He told me that he had finally came to good terms with Son Gokū, and that he wished to get to know the bijuu better."

"So you'll allow Kokuō and Son Gokū to be resealed within Han and Rōshi?" Naruto asked in a hopeful tone.

"I don't see why not." Ōnoki answered, shrugging his shoulders. "But there's just one problem. We have no idea where Han is."

"That's no problem. I can search for him tomorrow using my sage mode." Naruto said, earning a nod from Ōnoki. "I'll try to convince him to come back to the village."

"Very well then." Ōnoki said, crossing his arms over his chest. "You said there was two things you wished to discuss, correct?"

"Yeah, there was one other matter I wanted to talk about." Naruto said, as his nervousness from earlier returned. The blonde suddenly began to rub the back of his head; doing his best to avoid Ōnoki's gaze. Taking a deep breath to help calm his nerves, Naruto finally locked eyes with the Tsuchikage. "Obito Uchiha is still alive."

"What?" Ōnoki asked, his hearing must be getting bad. There was no way he had heard the blonde jinchuriki correctly. "You'll have to repeat that boy, because I could have sworn that you said that Obito Uchiha was alive."

"I said that Obito Uchiha is alive, and he is currently living in Konoha." Naruto repeated, causing Ōnoki's eyes to widen considerably. "I brought him back to life as well."

"You did what?!" Ōnoki shouted, as he slammed his hands onto his desk. Naruto flinched slightly when wooden splinters flew past his head. Well things were going better than expected. At least he wasn't disintegrated by one of the Tsuchikage's Jinton jutsus. "Care to explain to me why that man is still breathing! He helped start the war, and he killed hundreds of Allied Shinobi Force ninja!"

"To be fair, I brought everyone Madara and Obito killed back to life." Naruto pointed out, causing Ōnoki's eyes to narrow dangerously.

"He is the reason your parents are dead child." Ōnoki said in a low tone, striking a cord in the blonde jinchuriki. The blonde shinobi grit his teeth, as he tried to reel in his anger. "He unleashed the Kyuubi upon your village. Which forced your parents to sacrifice themselves to stop the Kyuubi from destroying the village."

"How do you know that?" Naruto asked, as he tightly clenched the armrests of his chair.

"We had a few spies investigate around Konoha after the Kyuubi attacked. You don't unleash a bijuu on a village, and not garner some interest." Ōnoki explained in a calm tone. "After some digging we managed to find out that the Kyuubi had been sealed within a new jinchuriki. But we had no idea that it was Minato's own son-"

"Listen here!" Naruto exclaimed, shooting up from his seat and getting in the Tsuchikage's face. The elderly kage was unfazed by Naruto's actions. "The man that unleashed the Kyuubi on my village wasn't Obito! That was a man who was being manipulated and controlled by Madara Uchiha! The real Obito is a kind and caring man, who loves his village!" Naruto released a few shaky breaths to help calm himself. Suddenly Naruto lowered his gaze away from Ōnoki. "I know Obito has done horrible things, and I can never forgive him for unleashing Kurama on our village. But he's the reason I became the man I am today. Because of him Kurama and I are friends, and I'm on the path to becoming Hokage." Pausing for a moment to collect his thoughts; Naruto once again met the Tsuchikage's gaze. "Listen, I'm not asking you to forgive Obito. All I ask is that you give him a chance to prove that he's a good man. I promise you, he'll be spending the rest of his life trying to make up for his past mistakes."

"Let's say I do allow Obito to live. What type of measures is Kakashi taking to ensure that Obito doesn't go back to his evil ways?" Ōnoki asked, deciding to humor the blonde jnchuriki.

"Kakashi-sensei has already placed a chakra suppression seal on Obito. With his chakra blocked, Obito cannot use his sharingan or any of his jutsus." Naruto replied, stepping away from Ōnoki's desk. "Obito is also being closely monitored at all times. He is also one of the founding members of Konoha's new police force, so Kakashi-sensei can keep a watchful eye over him. However Kakashi-sensei does hope that he will be able to lessen the seal in a few years; with permission of all the other kage of course."

"Hmm, I suppose if Kakashi keeps a close eye on him...Have the other kage agreed to this as well?" Ōnoki asked, earning a quick nod from the blonde. "*Sigh* Fine, I will let it slide this one time. But if I receive word that Obito is up to something, I will not hesitate to send an assassination squad after him. I'm placing a lot of trust in you boy, and my trust is not easily gained."

"Arigatou, Tsuchikage-jiji." Naruto said, bowing slightly towards the elderly kage. "If that is all I will see myself out."

"Before you leave, I have one more question for you boy." Ōnoki said, as he got off his seat and floated towards Naruto. "Since you have the rinnegan, you now have power over life and death." The Tsuchikage stopped in front of the blonde jinchuriki. He had been wondering one thing since he had found out that Naruto possessed the rinnegan. "Why don't you bring your parents back to life as well?"

"Heh, you know I ask myself that question almost everyday." Naruto replied in a quiet and slightly pained tone. Releasing a breath, Naruto turned his gaze towards the floor. "I still don't really know why myself. My parents may not be alive, but they are always with me." The blonde placed his hand over his heart, and squeezed gently. "They died heroes that are honored by our village...and...I guess that's how I want to remember them...As heroes who gave their lives to save me and their village." Naruto raised his head; flashing Ōnoki a bright smile. "I know that my parents love me, and that's all that matters to me."

"So you wish to honor your parents memory." Ōnoki said, as he rubbed his chin. "I'm glad to see that you hold your parents in such high regards boy...You are free to go now."

"Okay, I'll get in contact with you tomorrow after I find Han. Once I've handled him, I'll speak with Rōshi." Naruto said before he walked out of the Tsuchikage's office.

"Heh, that boy never ceases to surprise me." Ōnoki said with a smile, as he gazed out the window at the village bellow.

(Five Minutes Later; Edge of the Village)

"Man, I can't wait for tomorrow. It's gonna be awesome to see Han and Rōshi again." Naruto said with a grin, walking along the outskirts of Iwa. The blonde jinchuriki had decided to go for a walk; so that he could stretch his legs after being cooped up in the Tsuchikage's office for so long. "I hope that the girls aren't pushing themselves too hard." As Naruto walked through the deserted streets, he suddenly felt a tingle shoot up his spine.

"I don't think we're alone Naruto." Kurama rumbled in a low tone.

"I know. Someone has been following us since we left the old man's office." Naruto thought, continuing to walk so that he wouldn't look suspicious. "I don't sense any malicious intent, so I don't think it's an enemy."

"Hmm, but however it is does want to fight. Be ready for anything." Kurama said, preparing to give Naruto some of his chakra. Moments later, as if on cue, their mystery pursuer made themselves known.

"Yōton: Sekkaigyō no Jutsu!" Naruto quickly jumped out of the way to avoid the sudden attack. Spinning around in the air, the blonde jinchuriki saw a large puddle of gray acid bubbling where he had just been standing moments before.

"Nice job dodging my attack. I thought that I had hidden myself better, but I guess I still need some work." A feminine voice said from above Naruto. Looking up, Naruto spotted a girl with short black hair and pink eyes staring back at him. The girl had a wide grin spread across her face, as she placed her hands on her hips. Naruto's eyes narrowed as he scanned over the girls features. She looked familiar; Naruto knew he had seen her before. "Aww, you don't remember me do you? Well I guess that makes sense, because you ran off before I could properly introduce myself."

"Wait..." Naruto said, as everything began to click together. Then it suddenly came to Naruto. "You were one of the Iwa shinobi I met on that island in Mizu no Kuni! You were with that really big guy that's always with Tsuchikage-jiji! And I stopped you from killing Ganryū!"

"Ah, so you do remember me." The girl said, jumping down in front of Naruto. Still smirking, the girl extended he hand towards Naruto. "The name's Kurotsuchi. You're Naruto Uzumaki, right?"

"Yeah..." Naruto replied, as he shook Kurotsuchi's hand. The blonde jinchuriki couldn't stop his eyes from taking in the girl's appearance. She was definitely a beautiful girl with a toned and athletic build similar to Sakura and Fū's. But one of her most striking features were her pupiless pink eyes. Naruto couldn't seem to tear himself away from those stunning eyes. "It's nice to meet you...but why did you just attack me?"

"Well you're the 'Hero of the Shinobi World' aren't you?" Kurotsuchi asked, a large smirk still spread across her face. "I wanted to see if you were as strong as everyone says you are."

"Huh?" Naruto said with a confused look on his face.

"I challenge you to a fight! Right here, right now!" Kurotsuchi exclaimed, leaping away from Naruto and entering a fighting stance. "Show me what you're made of!"

"I don't know." Naruto said, as he rubbed the back of his head. "I should probably be getting back to rest of my team."

"Come on! Don't wimp out on me!" Kurotsuchi shouted in an annoyed tone.

"Look, I'd love to fight you but I really need to head back to my group." Naruto said in an apologetic tone. "Maybe we can spar some other time." With a wave, Naruto turned around and continued walking. The blonde shinobi didn't notice the grin spread across Kurotsuchi's face.

"Fine, I guess you're just not man enough to fight me!" That comment stopped Naruto in his tracks. "Only a little bitch would back out a challenge like that!" Kurotsuchi's grin widened when she saw Naruto's fists clench. "Got him now."

"You need to teach her a lesson." Kurama growled inside Naruto's head. "Show her that you're not someone to be trifled with."

"I will." Naruto thought, spinning around with a his Kyuubi Chakra Mode active. "You wanted a fight! Well you're gonna get one!"

"Woah, slow down there buddy!" Kurotsuchi shouted, as she pointed at Naruto. "If we're gonna fight, you can't use the Kyuubi's chakra or your sage mode! That wouldn't be fair to be me! No I want a fair fight! Normal jutsus and ninja tools only!"

"*Growl* Fine, we'll do this your way." Naruto said, his chakra cloak disappearing. The blonde quickly reached into tool pouch, and pulled out one of his Hiraishin kunai. "I have to make this fast. I don't how much longer the poison suppression pills I took earlier will last."

"What's with the weird ku-" Kurotsuchi was cut off, as the kunai went sailing past her head. The dark-haired kunoichi briefly turned around to watch the kunai said off into the distance. "Nice try, but you'll have to aim better than...Where the hell did her go?" Kurotsuchi was surprised to see that the blonde shinobi was no where in sight when she turned back around.

"RASENGAN!"

"What the!" Kurotsuchi exclaimed just as she dodged Naruto's surprise attack. The ground where Kurotsuchi had been standing exploded, as Naruto's Rasengan crashed into it. "How the hell did you get behind me so quick!?" Kurotsuchi's eyes widened when she saw that Naruto was holding onto the kunai that had went flying past her head. "Wait...No way! He knows how to use the Hiraishin! Shit, this isn't good."

"Not so cocky now, are ya?" Naruto asked, smirking at Kurotsuchi.

"Okay, I'll admit you caught me off guard with that last attack. But now that I know you can use the Hiraishin I can prepare for it." Kurotsuchi said, as she began to rapidly weave through hand seals. "Yōton: Kaisekifū no Jutsu!" Naruto's eyes widened when Kurotsuchi began to spew a large cloud of thick black ash from her mouth.

"Shit! I can't see anything! And this ash is binding my movements, so I can barely move!" Naruto thought frantically, as he formed a quick hand seal. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Over a dozen Kage Bunshin poofed into existence around Naruto. "I need to throw her off before she can launch a surprise attack."

"Pretty smart, using clones to confuse me." Naruto heard Kurotsuchi's voice echo out through the smoke. Suddenly three clones yelped, as they were pulled into the ground.

"She's below me!" Naruto yelled, as he and his clones leaped into the air.

"I knew I could draw you out!" Spinning around, Naruto saw that Kurotsuchi had reemerged and was rapidly performing hand seals. "Yōton: Sekkaigyō no Jutsu!" Thick grey acid shot from Kurotsuchi's mouth, and covered all of Naruto's Kage Bunshin. "Now, let's get rid of these annoying clones. Suiton: Mizurappa!" A large stream of water fired from Kurotsuchi's mouth; washing over the acid covered Kage Bunshin. Naruto watched as the acid hardened, completely encasing his clones. When the trapped clones crashed into the ground, they exploded into tiny fragments. "Looks like it's just you and me now."

"Bring it!" Naruto roared, pulling out a normal kuni and charging towards Kurotsuchi.

"This is more like it! Show me what you got!" Kurotsuchi cheered, as she pulled out her own kunai and raced towards Naruto.

Both shinobi clashed together; their kunai sparking as they collided. Using his superior strength, Naruto began to push Kurotsuchi back. Not willing to give up, Kurotsuchi hit Naruto with strong left hook. The blonde shinobi was momentarily caught off guard by the surprise punch, and was sent stumbling back. When Naruto recovered from the punch, he saw Kurotsuchi racing towards him at an incredible speed.

"Damn she's fast." Naruto thought, rolling away from Kurotsuchi's horizontal slash. Recovering from his roll, Naruto quickly slapped Kurotsuchi on the back before he retreated to a safe distance. The blonde jinchuriki smirked, as he watched his Hiraishin seal spread across Kurotsuchi's back. "Time to finish this."

"Why'd didn't you attack...He's gone again." Kurotsuchi said, as she quickly began to scan the area. "I didn't see him throw one of those kunai."

"I didn't need to throw one." Kurotsuchi nearly jumped out of her skin when she felt a kunai press against her neck. Turning her head, the dark-haired kunoichi saw Naruto grinning behind her. "I placed one of my Hiraishin seals on your back."

"So that's why you slapped me." Kurotsuchi said in an annoyed tone. "Damn it, I thought I had you for a minute."

"Well there's no where for you to go. So I suggest you yield now." Naruto said, pressing the kunai slightly harder against Kurotsuchi's neck. "It was fun, but it's time to end this."

"But I'm not finished yet." Kurotsuchi said cryptically, causing Naruto to quirk an eyebrow. However, Naruto's eyes widened when Kurotsuchi collapsed into a pile of dirt and mud.

"That was a clone!?" Naruto exclaimed in a slightly surprised tone; just before he sensed someone rapidly approaching from behind. "This girl is pretty good. I'm really starting to enjoy myself. It's been a long time since I've been able to really let loose. Plus I can tell that she's having a great time too. I think I'll have some fun with her." Naruto quickly spun around, surprising the dark-haired kunoichi. Kurotsuchi's eyes widened when Naruto grabbed her extended fist; stopping her punch dead in its tracks. Seeing the blonde shinobi smirking at her, caused anger to boil in Kurotsuchi. With a growl, Kurotsuchi tried to kick Naruto. But the blonde shinobi stopped her with his other free hand.

"Got you now." It was Kurotsuchi's turn to grin, as she reached into her kunai pouch. Using her one free hand, Kurotsuchi slashed her kunai at Naruto. But Kurotsuchi's eyes widened when Naruto burst into a cloud of smoke. The dark-haired kunoichi was panting slightly, as she took another fighting stance. "Tch, this guy and his fucking clones."

"Come on, my clones are awesome." Spinning around, Kurotsuchi saw Naruto standing behind her. The blonde shinobi had a smile on his face, as he stuck his hands in his pockets. "But I think this fight is over with."

"Like hell it is!" Kurotsuchi shouted, throwing her kunai at Naruto. However she wasn't prepared for the blonde to completely disappear once again. "Shit, he used that damn Hiraishin again." Kurotsuchi yelped in surprised when she felt a pair of strong arms snake around her waist. "When did he..."

"Look at your arm..." Kurotsuchi blushed brightly when she felt Naruto's hot breath on her ear; but she did as she was told. She wasn't surprised to see a seal spread across her forearm.

"*Sigh* You win." Kurotsuchi said in a defeated tone. The dark-haired kunoichi could still keep fighting, but she didn't really want to anymore. Naruto's hot breath on her neck was sending chills down her spine, and his arms wrapped around her waist made her feel so safe and secure. Before Kurotsuchi knew it, she was unconsciously moving closer towards the blonde.

"Good..." Naruto whispered hotly, before placed several kisses along Kurotsuchi's neck. The dark-haired kunoichi moaned lightly, as Naruto's kisses caused her whole body to tingle. "How turned on are you right now?"

"Wh-What?" Kurotsuchi asked in an embarrassed tone. Her face was now near fluorescent red.

"I said, how turned on are you?" Naruto asked, as he spun Kurotsuchi around in his arms. Kurotsuchi's breath hitched when she stared into Naruto's lust filled blue eyes. Her heart began to beat rapidly, as she felt her panties dampen slightly. Their fight had gotten Kurotsuchi all worked up, and she couldn't deny that Naruto was very attractive. She hold back her lust any longer, she wanted Naruto Uzumaki now.

"Kami, I want you now." Kurotsuchi said in a husky tone, lunging forward and capturing Naruto's lips. Her arms immidiately wrapped around Naruto's neck, so that she could deepen their kiss. Kurotsuchi moaned when she felt Naruto's tongue snake its way into her mouth. They remained lipqocked for a few more moments, before they eventually broke for air. Both shinobi were out of breath from their passionate kiss, and Kurotsuchi's eyes were half-lidded with lust. Naruto smirked when he felt Kurotsuchi begin to grind against his thigh.

"So should we take this back to your place?" Naruto asked in a lust filled tone.

"My house is only few minutes away! Now move your ass, I need you now!" Kurotsuchi commanded, as she grabbed Naruto's hand and began to drag him towards her home.
