New Things---------------------------------------------------

"Sak ura?? Sakura, are you wake?” Naruto whispered. Then looking down Naruto took a peak at his watch. 'Half past seven huh?' Then as he lay beside Sakura in bed re did a double take. 'HALF PAST SEVEN!!!! SHIT!!!!'

“mmhhh” was all the a still very much asleep Sakura was able to reply.

“Sakura. Sakura. Damnit, Jiraiya-sama, and Tsunade -sama will be here any minute to ask about the progress of my training. If they finds us together like this there’s no telling what they might say.” “PLEASE you have to get up Sakura.” Naruto spoke as he tried to shake Sakura awake.

'Oh man this is bad', he thought. 'I know the first thing that is gonna come out of Ero-sensi’s mouth will be some wise crack. And I don't even want to imagine what Tsunade would do to me if she found me sleeping with her pupil. WHAT THE HELL AM IM GONNA DO!?!?' Trying once more Naruto tried to shake Sakura awake.

“Jeese I know your gonna hate me for this later today, but if Tsunade was to catch us like this, there’s no telling what she would do to us.” And so Naruto gently draped the sleeping form of Sakura over his shoulder, and walked towards the bathroom. On arrival he silently apologised to the sleeping Sakura again and again as he placed her in the shower, and then turned it on full blast. The icy cold water did the trick.

“AYA COLD!!!" Screamed Sakura at the top of her lungs. “NARUTO! What’s the big idea!?!?!”

Sighing Naruto replied. “Sorry Sakura but it was the only way to get you awake. Jiraiya-sensi is on his way over with Tsunade, and I don’t even want to think of what might happen if they caught us together like that. I’m pretty sure Jiraiya would be thrilled, but Tsunade on the other hand…well I’m not sure I’m quite ready to have my ass kicked this morning.”

“WHAT! Both of them are on there way over?? What are we gonna do Naruto??” Sakura almost screamed the question as she darted towards the bedroom. Quickly getting dressed she shook her wet hair out and sat down on Naruto's bed.

Naruto thinking quickly came up with an idea. “Well…I know. I’ll just tell them that you were worried about what Gara told us yesterday and wanted to talk to me about it. And yesterday we were awake until all hours of the night, talking about it. Then I told you, you could spend the night here in my room, instead of trekking the 1.5 miles back to your own house. Does that seem reasonable???” Naruto asked. Sakura nodded her head in approval. Sighing Naruto began to feel a glimmer of hope…that was until an icy voice spoke out from behind him. “It would if we hadn’t over heard your entire conversation.”

Startled Naruto and Sakura whipped around to see Jiraiya and Tsunade standing in the now open doorway of Naruto's room.

“Oh crap.” Naruto said as he watched Tsunade crack her knuckles and stomp into the room.

“Oh crap is right, just what were you doing with my pupil in your room last night Naruto???” questioned Tsunade in a cold and very deadly voice.

“Well… you see..we were….crap.” Naruto stuttered.

“Naruto I never thought you had it in you. Way to go!!” Jiraiya complemented while giving two thumbs up.

“Jiraiya!!! This is no time for jokes, what these two did here, is...unacceptable! They both should be punished immediately!!!" Tsunade screamed as she lunged for and struck Naruto hard in the face, sending him tumbling backwards.

“ OUCH!!!!!" Naruto shouted as he felt the full force of Tsunade's wrath hit him square in the face. Then sitting up and massaging his face he spoke. "Oh common sensi, Its not like you’ve never done it before.” “Hell I bet you even did it with Jiraiya.”

“Blushing profusely Tsunade stuttered. “I…I….I Never. YOU HEAR ME!!! I have never done such a discourteous act as to sleep with Jiraiya.”

“What? Common there’s no need to be shy. Should I tell them about last night after Gara finished his meeting with you then???” Jiraiya replied with a foxy grin on his face.

“JIRAIYA!!!!!! Enough! Naruto should have talked to us first, before he made any kind of decision like this.” Tsunade shouted as se stormed closer to Naruto. Then picking him up by the neck of his shirt she shook him like a rag doll. Then tossing him back down to the ground she advanced towards Sakura. Bearing back she was about to slap Sakura when Naruto jumped up and grabbed her arm.

“But I didn’t make the decision alone, Sakura also made the choice, and we are both happy together. But I sort of figured you would react like this…” “After all I am to be the future Hokage am I not.” “That’s why your making such a big fuss over this, but I guess he fact that if I have chosen Sakura as my lover I have now saved you the trouble and task of trying to find a suitable bride. I love Sakura, and would rather spend the rest of my life her, than with any other woman.” Naruto said as he restrained the still furious Tsunade from striking Sakura.
“Na..Naruto..stop it, your making me blush again.” Sakura breathed as she watched Tsunade start to regain control.

“Aye? Oh I’m sorry. But it’s the truth. And if these two would think about it we saved them a whole lot of trouble.” Naruto said , as he also felt Tsunade's resolve to injure disperse.

“Fine, but I will still want to discuss this rash action with you later. For now let us get on to the matter that brought us here in the first place. Naruto how far have you gone in you training to master the weapons left to you by the Fourth?” Tsunade questioned, as she pulled her slender arm out of Naruto's grasp.

“Well I have completely master all of them but the Elemental Sword, It will take me at least a week to master it, possibly more. But in the mean time I would really like to begin the jutsu training for the hokage level jutsus. Jiraiya promised that once I finished my training wit the Uzumaki bloodline limit, that he would allow me access to the scrolls of the hokage.” Naruto said half as a question and half as a statement.

“That is correct, we have brought them with us, figuring that you would have advanced thus far .” Jiraiya replied as he reached behind himself and withdrew several scrolls. “Naruto, be warned though that knowledge can be used against you sometimes. While true that it is good to know many jutsu, you must almost remember to never succumb to the feeling of power that they give to you. These jutsu are the secret of the hidden leaf hokages, and therefore through learning them you must promise to only use these jutsus for the good of the village.” Tsunade said as she motioned for Naruto to kneel.

“I swear on the Uzumaki name, that I will only use the jutsus contained in those scrolls for the good of the village.” Naruto replied.

“Very well. Jiraiya present the succeeding hokage with the sacred scrolls of our village.” Tsunade ordered.

And so, Naruto while kneeled and bowed his head in respect as Jiraiya continued with the ritual of succession. Then handing Naruto the scrolls, Jiraiya stepped back and stood beside Tsunade once more. As they turned to leave Tsunade turned to Sakura and spoke softly into the air. “Sakura. You take good care of him from now on you hear. He is the future of the hidden leaf village, and as such he must be taken care of by someone he can depend on. I charge you with this task as his lover, and one of his oldest friends. Keep him safe, and love him well.”

Then turning Tsunade left the room with Jiraiya hot on her heels.

Alone now, Sakura and Naruto were able to breath a sigh of relief. Sakura spoke in a shaky voice.

"Does this....does this mean that there ok with us being together?" she questioned still a little unnerved at having being discovered together with Naruto.

"Yes I believe it does. Sakura go get changed, and then we'll head out for breakfast...on me." Naruto said as he looked down at the scrolls that were now laid out in front of himself.

As Sakura hurried to get changed, Naruto signed again. Then reaching out, Naruto retrieved one of the scrolls that Jiraiya had presented him with, and then unfurling the first of the many scrolls that had been given to him, Naruto began to read.

Lost in his reading Naruto did not notice Sakura return from changing and sneaking up behind him, wrapped her long arms around him. Naruto startled out of his reading reacted without thinking. He body flickered behind his "attacker" and held a kunai to the back of their throat.

Sakura totally un prepared for this reaction stiffened when she felt the kunais point touch the back of her neck.

"Na..Naruto?? What the hell do you think your doing??" Sakura questioned in a shaky voice.

Startled Naruto realized just who his attacker had been and quickly withdrew his kunai.

"Jeese don't startle me like that Sakura. I could have killed you right there without thinking." Naruto said as he re-sheathed the kunai into its holster.

"Baka. Its time to go mister newly appointed hokage." "You said we would go out for breakfast after I finished getting changed remember???" Sakura said as she relaxed. 'I forgot how quick he was. And the Anbu training probably made him even sharper then he was before.' She thought as Naruto stood and re-rolled the scroll he had been reading.

"OH right, yeah sorry about the kunai to the throat. I'm still a little jumpy after Jiraiya and Tsunade caught us together this morning. Plus you startled me to hell and back by sneaking up on me like that." Naruto apologised as he stood.

"Well now that I have your attention would you like to get going." Sakura asked giggling at Naruto's attempt to reconcile for the act he had just done.

"Alright" Naruto replied, Then Naruto picked up all the scrolls and placed them into the chest that contained his inheritance.

"Alright we can head out now." Naruto replied as he closed the lid on the chest.

And with that Naruto and Sakura headed of to breakfast.


Meanwhile----------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------

"I can't believe those two!!" Shouted Tsunade as she stormed back into her office. "Why couldn't they wait to do something so rash? Now we have to worry about Sakura being targeted as a way to get to Naruto. Damnit that boy has no intelligence!"

"Calm down, they were only doing what felt natural to them at the time." Jiraiya said trying to sooth her rage.

"Don't you tell me to calm down you old pervert. YOU!" Now Tsunade pointed one of her long fingers right at Jiraiya. "YOU should never have told them we were together. That is none of their damned business!!"

"Well its true though. And Sakura made a good point. Plus you have to think about it rationally. If Naruto is in love with Sakura, then there’s no way he'll let any harm come to her. She'll be by his side almost twenty four/seven. What’s more you yourself just told him he would be future hokage. So it's not like he’s gonna act brashly and rush off to fight the enemy. I have been teaching him how to THINK before he acts, and so far his already keen battle sense was quadrupled, and he knows damn well that if a war take place, that he as the future hokage, must be strong enough to protect everyone. He has the ability, all he needed was the motivation. You just gave it to him."

Standing in silence for a moment Tsunade let Jiraiya's words sink in.

"So your saying his love for Sakura will help us, not be a liability." She questioned.

"That’s exactly what I'm getting at." Jiraiya replied.

Tsunade thought about it for a moment. 'Its true that girl has already far surpassed me in both taijutsu and medical skills, and now that she's with Naruto he will feel a burning need to protect her and everyone else he holds dear. And by giving him the title of future hokage, he will begin to think of everyone in the village as his family. He will protect all of them.'

"Your right Jiraiya. I have been worrying about nothing, and I was angry for nothing. What the two of them did now was only natural...even if I hoped that Naruto would fall in love with someone else other than my assistant. But there’s nothing we can do now about the situation is there?" Shaking her head she continued. "No. Even if there was anything we wouldn't even bother trying, cause in the end it would backfire on us."

"Tsunade. We have to go an inform the people. They are waiting for your announcement. The entire village will probably turn out for it. Its a good thing that Naruto and Sakura at the house. There’s gonna be a huge commotion after you let everyone know that your making the man the next hokage." Jiraiya said as he watched Tsunade begin to pace.

"Indeed." Tsunade knew how deep the hatred towards the demon that Naruto had housed inside himself was. But she also knew that if she explained that he was the Fourths son that most of it would immediately disparate, but their feeling of hatred would be replaced by a feeling of confusion and disbelief, rather than by feelings of happiness, and trust.

"Alright, well we might as well get to it then." Tsunade said as she stopped pacing. Then without wasting anymore time, Tsunade walked back out the door with Jiraiya by her side, and together they headed to the meeting place for her big announcement.

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


"Naruto, don't you have to fight with that Salamander spirit today?" Sakura asked as she sat with him eating pancakes from one of the shop's close to her old house.

Startled at hearing Salamanders name being mentioned. Naruto choked on the mouthful of food he had. Once he swallowed the food that was in his mouth Naruto replied "That’s right, I do have to fight with him today don't I. Would you like to watch?? I though that the spirits scared you he other night."

"They...surprised me. That’s all. I mean who wouldn't be surprised if seven ninjas suddenly burst forth from a sword in a flash of light." Sakura replied.

Nodding Naruto said. "True. Well at any rate if you do want to watch I'll have to Body flicker us both there. And trust me it takes a hell of a lot out strength to body flicker two people. I learned it as a protection method from Jiraiya-sama. Its good for when you need to escape with a target quickly. I can manage to flicker seven people altogether, when I tap into my full strength. But after that I need to sleep for about two hours to regain my strength. While I'm asleep I can not be awoken before those two hours are finished otherwise, I might slip into comatose."

"Wow. That’s a good thing to know. Note to self: never let Naruto be awoken before two hours of sleep, after he uses a seven man body flicker." Sakura commented as she finished eating her pancakes

"That’s right." Naruto said as he sipped the last of his morning coffee. Then after they finished eating, Naruto paid for their meals, walked outside, and then picking up Sakura and lifting her off the ground he Body Flickered.
