Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Sounds of a new Destiny ❯ Akatsuki attacks...and Ginshin has seven girlfriends?! ( Chapter 5 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Authors Note: Once again here we are. Naruto is now the new hope of Konoha to some people. But to some he is a large threat and to one this is the catalyst for his own ends. Not Orochimaru, but Danzou. Sorry if I switch between English and Japanese names for attacks. Sometimes I don't really feel like going onto wikipedia to find the Japanese name. I will try to limit it, but if I do you know its cause I got lazy. I'm also doing my best to limit the power Naruto has , that's my concern usually when I write is that stuff may be too god modey. Now Hakkin Bunshoko means Platinum Eclipse. I used a Japanese dictionary I found on the web to get the names for some attacks I thought up.
 
Oh yeah Ginshin's special metal element shall be classed as Doton since I don't know what to call it Japanese.

Training Field Five…
 
“Again! Naruto you still need to have perfect chakra control. To truly be able to use the jutsu I developed…you need to perfect harmony. Yin and Yang.” it had been a few days since the funeral, and training resumed the newly formed team five needed to go through training. Ginshin supervised from the sidelines while enjoying some dango.
 
“I never thought I would see the day you would have a team…and I don't mind if I do.” As if on cue Anko Mitarashi had showed up, and she stole the dango that Ginshin was about to eat. Simply put Ginshin was terrified for now wasn't the time to deal with a girlfriend. Especially considering that Anko, could be aggravating at times at times. “We need to talk Ginshin-kun…and it's about your student.”
 
“I guess you're right…Naruto! Break time! Go get something to eat!” Ginshin tossed the boy a wolf shaped wallet that had some money in it. He smirked as he stood up slowly, he knew this would happen sooner or later.
 
“Hai! I will Genshin-sensei!” Naruto was quite fatigued from the intensity of the training the problem was keeping the two opposite elements harmonized so it formed the steam sphere.
 
“And there should be enough money for ya in case you meet a girl or five!” Ginshin smirked and tipped the brim of his hat downward. He winced sharply as Anko jabbed him in the ribs. He looked to see her looking at him sourly.
 
“Don't you be teaching that boy to be a womanizer just like you! One Ginshin is enough for four generations! I swear if you and Jiraiya could you would make him turn out just like you two are.” she practically hissed the words out since the whole thought was revolting. It was bad enough she had to share Ginshin with Kurenai, and Shizune hence why he leaves the village so often. And Anko Mitarashi DID NOT share, it wasn't in her nature to share, but she shouldn't have to share him in the first place.
 
Naruto grimaced at the thought of doing what Ginshin suggested, and he knew the womanizing jonin would say `wait `til you're older you'll understand' Naruto cringed and walked off. He would probably go to the ramen stand, those were nice people but before he got too far he was grabbed by the arm. “Ack!!”
 
“You! You defeated Neji-kun!” just Naruto's luck he had to be dragged off by Tenten, the village's weapon mistress. It was clear that Naruto wasn't going to be getting lunch just yet. He blushed when the weapon's mistress kissed his cheek, he didn't quite understand why. “Thank you…you showed me that Neji isn't as great as I thought he was. I can tell you will be something great. Come with me I shall buy you lunch!” before Naruto could say no he was dragged away.
 
Meanwhile with Ginshin and Anko…
 
“So that it huh? Orochimaru gave the boy a cursed seal. But that doesn't explain why he hasn't used it yet…“ Ginshin spoke softly as he sipped on his tea. He already knew Naruto was the container of the most powerful Bijuu but this didn't come off as a shock Naruto didn't seem like the type to senselessly flaunt his power.
 
“Yes…the snake told me he gave him the Storm Seal…he found it just for Naruto because it was the only seal that would be potent enough for the ends. But I don't think Naruto even uses its power…I think he would wait until it was a last resort.” Anko spoke calmly as she devoured a dango quickly.
 
“Then there isn't a problem from what I heard the Storm Seal is pretty weak, it's already controlled by the bearers will.” Ginshin smiled in a reassuring manner, he didn't like when Anko worried senselessly about this stuff. Now if there was a stranger pair in Konoha it was this crazy thing Ginshin had. He was dating Anko, Kurenai, and Shizune, that classified as weird, especially since he was unable to trust, but that might be why he didn't date exclusively.
 
“The problem is, that he can have problems if he has to rely on it. The seals have two stages, one where the mark covers the body, and one where they are transformed into something inhuman. But the storm seal is painful when the person transforms.” Anko touched the curse seal on her neck and frowned, she didn't have the ability to use it, it served as a reminder that she was once loyal to Orochimaru. “See to it that Naruto only uses the seal if he has to. Unlike the other seals the transformation of the storm seal is very painful…think like when you were betrayed by your friends.”
 
Ginshin nodded solemnly he knew that pain, it wasn't the emotional pain but what they did to him, they had nearly killed him and it took him years to recover from his injuries. In the end it was what led to his inability to trust. His mind began to drift back to when he was younger back when he still could trust to that fateful night.
Flashback to the eve of Orochimaru's defection
 
Ginshin stood in horror, as several ninja had openly rebelled and sided with Orochimaru. Among them were his once trusted team mated Kuroken, and Shirotoku. “Sensei…you don't get it…we simply want more power…we are nothing like you're idiot son…we are not satisfied with working for what we want.” the dark haired prodigy spoke his voice twisted, cold and full of hatred.
 
“Kinzoku-sensei…we do not need you any longer.” the white haired medic-nin smirked icily as he formed his Hyoton: Daiyamondo Tonbogiri and lunged forward lunging it through his teacher who was too shocked to fight back. Ginshin looked in shock unable to move but then something in him snapped, the two before him were not his friends.
 
“Kaa-san!!” he rushed forward and knelt beside her, in time to hear her last words, which only steeled his resolve to see to it these two would pay for what they had done. For all his life he trusted these two, considered them his brothers, but now in one night everything he knew was taken away.
 
“You can come with us brother…” Kuroken spoke, his voice dark and laced with lies, he stepped forward offering his hand. Then that's when it happened, Ginshin punched Kuroken the resulting fight would last for hours, in the end he was defeated. It wasn't until ANBU Black Ops found him the following morning strung up by chains hanging from the trees near death. He was injured in every thinkable way, his bones broken, internal bleeding, he was wagered to be a goner but something kept him going…and it was the desire to be an avenger. In time this died out and he simply wanted to do what he could to move on.
 
During his rehabilitation that's when he met Anko Mitarashi, and the two leaned on each other for support when Orochimaru betrayed the village. Anko was cast away by her sensei, and Ginshin was betrayed by two he had sworn an oath of brotherhood to. It was the only thing that kept their sanity, and the two fast became friends.
 
Back in reality…
 
“Hey...are you listening to me Gin-kun?” Anko flicked the showboating jonin in the head, and grinned in her special creepy way when he rubbed his forehead. “You zoned out on me…let me guess you were thinking about Kurenai or Shizune again…and you didn't hear a thing I said.”
 
“No I was thinking about what caused us to meet. It is possible for me to think about you when I'm with you.” he reminded her, and rubbed his forehead only thinking that it was unnecessary to flick his forehead.
 
“Well then…that's good to er know…” the show boating examiner was blushing, she didn't know what to think. She never thought that Ginshin would actually be thinking about her when they were together. She often just thought he was a skirt chaser that she just couldn't stand to break away from. She knew that it was similar to her situation that he didn't want to trust someone ever again.
 
Elsewhere in the village…
 
“This is excellent…the demon spawn will be just the thing I need to seize control of this village.” the ever vile Danzou was plotting for he knew the return of Naruto would be what he needed to take control of the village. With his hated rival dead, now he could achieve control, now it just took convincing the other elders that Naruto was a threat.
 
Danzou smiled darkly as he watched his personal division of ANBU going through their training. He was growing to be pleased with the fruits of his labor, but if he wanted to acquire the power he would have to find a way to get Naruto, Jiraiya, and Ginshin out of the village.
 
A short time later
 
Naruto was waiting at the training field and he was getting impatient waiting for Ginshin. Naruto began to grumble as he waited, that's when two cloaked figures appeared, one was carrying a giant sword on his back, but Naruto couldn't make out their faces due to the veils they had on their sakkats.
 
“Naruto…we've been looking for you…we want you to come with us.” A cold voice spoke out from the smaller cloaked figure. He stepped forward but stopped when he heard a man clapping his hands.
 
“Now, now…what would the Uchiha Murderer want with one of my students…aw man…you Akatsuki guys have no originality…wearing sakkats…very uncool!” Ginshin lifted his sakkat up as his smirk faded away. He then threw his sakkat to the side and assumed a fighting stance. “Naruto get out of here…you aren't ready to face guys on his level. Anko get the kid out of here…”
 
“Who's the clown Itachi?” the taller one asked as he pulled his hat off revealing his shark like features. It was none other than another of the seven swordsmen of the mist Hoshigaki Kisame.
 
“Don't let his attitude fool you he was as strong as I was when I left…he is after all a student of Kinzoku Hanzo…and her adopted son…” Itachi loosened his cloak before removing the sakkat on his head revealing the scratched hitae-ate on his forehead.
 
“But Gin-kun…” Anko began to protest but was quickly cut off by Ginshin who looked at her with a serious look. She nodded and rushed over grabbing Naruto and running away, she knew Ginshin could handle this but still it left her uneasy.
 
Ginshin quickly moved and produced the hand seals for Kage Bunshin he created several clones to buy some time. He moved through the hand seals for his unique technique Sun and Moon, he held his hands out, as did his clones they all created the orbs in their hands, Katon: Kin Tentousama and Suiton: Gin Tsuki. “I'm sorry Uchiha...but you will have to leave Arashi's son alone…you will not take him…”
 
“Looks like he wants to fight…but I'm afraid he may be outclassed here. It is a shame…he could become a great ninja.” Kisame spoke calmly as he began unwrapping the cloth from his sword. He held it at ready, but that's when the unthinkable happened the area was filled with a mist caused by Kirigakure no Jutsu. “There is no way you could of done this. You're hands are filled so that means she must be here...”
 
“Perhaps…but I'm sorry she isn't going to get to capture you today…” Ginshin and his clones then proceeded to combine the spheres they held into one orb made of steam, famously known as Hakkin Bunshoko and the clones each rushed forward. Each was quickly defeated by the two nuke-nin, leaving Ginshin standing alone. Ginshin lunged forward and slammed the sphere in front of them jumping into the air before it burst. “Suiton: Suijouki Bakufuu!” the explosion of steam caught the two off guard sending them back from the blast.
 
“I forgot to warn you Kisame…Ginshin is known to use explosions as a means of combat…I'm surprised his Kage Bunshin didn't contain substitutions for his unique attack. Sea of Flames…” Itachi remained calm as if he was unfazed by the attack. Ginshin smirked and lowered into a crouching stance, this wasn't going well.
 
Elsewhere…where Kakashi and his team are…
 
Anko rushed into the room and set Naruto down looking at Kakashi seriously, she didn't seem to notice Sasuke was present at the time. “Itachi is in the village! He's trying to get Naruto!”
 
Sasuke's eyes widened at this and he quickly ran out the door, `Itachi! I will kill you!! I will avenge the clan you so senselessly murdered!' the Uchiha prodigy's thoughts were only on vengeance.
 
“This isn't good Anko…where is Ginshin?” Kakashi was a bit irked by this, and he didn't even need to ask. He knew Ginshin never thought things through, `Ginshin…you idiot…' he stood up and walked to the door. “Nevermind…Naruto you stay here…you don't need to get involve-”
 
“Shut up! I will get involved since this is about me!” Naruto had grown to not let anyone else fight his battles over the years. He removed the mask he wore on the side of his head, and held it forward as he looked at Kakashi. “I may hide behind this mask in battle but…I'm not wearing this mask of a fool that smiles all the time anymore! And a step towards that end is not letting others fight my battles!”
 
“Well then…try to keep a distance…you aren't strong enough to fight people of Itachi's level yet.” the group of Ninja that were in the room ran out and headed straight for training field #5.
 
Training Field #5
 
“Still reckless as ever, eh Gin-kun?” a woman's voice called as she walked forward, wearing a blue cheongsam, her face covered in a mask. She had a tattoo of a blue dragon circling either arm, and she wore wooden sandals. Her auburn hair was up in a neat bun with a few ornamental hair pins put in.
 
“Ameko…this isn't exactly your jurisdiction…and I was just buying time…” Ginshin calmly commented as he looked at her calmly. He then went through a series of hand seals to began using his bloodline limit in its true nature. “DOTON: AMATSU KOGAKE!!” Ginshin's forearms were covered in silver, samurai like armoring, he then stood calmly.
 
“ITACHI!!” a voice full of anger called out, the boy had his Sharingan activated he was running forward with a kunai in hand. As he neared Itachi, the reserved Nuke-Nin swung his arm out grabbing Sasuke by the neck. Itachi then hurled him across the field with out much effort.
 
“You're hatred is far too weak brother…if you want to kill me you must have more hatred…” Itachi tilted his head and watched his brother with interest, his eyes showing something disturbing. There was nothing there at all he didn't show enjoyment or hostility it was as if he were indifferent.
 
Sasuke quickly formed the Chidori and rushed forward, the ball of lightning crackled as he rushed forward dragging it across the ground. The ground was being shredded apart by the orb of thunder, he threw his hand containing the globe forward. Itachi stepped to the side, threw his palm into the boy's chest knocking him back, he continued onto grab the boy by the neck and slam him into the ground knocking the wind out of him. “You are still too weak brother…hate me more…if you want to avenge our clan you need to kill your best friend…”
 
“Hey, if you're done beating up your little brother…can we get on with this…” Ginshin spoke in a bored manner as he rushed forward throwing punches at the older Uchiha. One of the punches eventually connected, and he used this opportunity to grab hold of Itachi's cloak. That's when Itachi's eyes shifted from normal Sharingan to Mangekyo Sharingan, Ginshin had heard of this and released his hold skidded back looked down to the ground.
 
Kakashi landed to the ground and prepared to raised his headband to start using the sharingan. He was stopped when Ginshin raised a hand up, this motion telling Kakashi to stop. “Why stop me Ginshin? The only way to combat Itachi is to use a Sharingan.”
 
Amaterasu...” Itachi used the first Jutsu unique to his clan which creates black flames that surrounded the area. He walked forward having gained the attention of the ninja in the area.
 
 
“Conceal your eyes, Itachi has a powerful Genjutsu!” the bystanders were unable to combat the black flames, Ginshin quickly tied his hitae-ate over his eyes, due to the fact his sakkat was out of reach outside the radius of the flames. The masked Oinin who Ginshin referred to as Ameko adjusted her mask by simply raising it up slightly.
 
Naruto, Anko, and Kurenai closed their eyes and looked away, but Kakashi didn't he raised his hitae-ate. He had to run the risk and see what he could do, he wasn't as talented as Ginshin when it came to blind fighting anyways. That's when Itachi saw his chance, and he quickly used Tsukuyomi on Kakashi quickly incapacitating the infamous copy ninja. But this came at a cost for Itachi who in the end used up a great amount of chakra, and had to rest.
 
“Kisame…I think its safe to say Naruto isn't ready to come with us…we can't kidnap him…” Itachi said as he continued his resting, the Amaterasu flames would buy time. The two then took a retreat, but Itachi looked sourly at Ginshin something in him told him that the show boating Jonin was holding back.
 
“I'll take it from here…” the legendary Toad Sannin had decided he would join this dance and landed in front of the group he stood ready. He had a serious look on his face which meant that he was ready to fight. “I will have to seal away these flames first of all to get us some room…and the Uchiha brat probably needs a breather before he uses Amaterasu again.” Jiraiya pulled a scroll out and put a seal on it, he then proceeded to use a series of hand seals and the seal released a vapor which began to pulled the flames of Amaterasu into the seal.
 
“Let's leave Kisame…it seems Naruto isn't ready…you cannot kidnap that child…he has a strong will…we will simply have to convince him at a later time...he will come around in time…besides…we cannot possibly win against both Jiraiya the Toad Sannin…and Ginshin Hanzo…” the two Akatsuki then vanished, this was most unsettling since not many people knew of this organization other than the fact they had only nuke-nin as members and powerful ones at that. Only three people here knew what Akatsuki was, Jiraiya due to his information network, Ginshin, and Ameko due to the fact they served an opposing organization.
 
The next day…
 
“So you had a feeling they would be coming this way hmmm Ame-chan? Ahhh-ow!!” Ginshin had thought he would be able to talk to Ameko for a moment and understand the situation but both Anko, and Kurenai wanted answers of their own.
 
“Gin-kun…mind telling us who this is?” Anko spoke in a sickeningly sweet manner as she held his ear tight. She was starting to get irritated by this frequent annoyance, how many did he plan to have one for every day of the week? That would be what caused her to castrate him if he was.
 
“Yes…darling do tell us who she is…and if there are any other women we must know about.” the normally calm, ice queen slash genjutsu mistress was also irritated by this. She twisted his ear, something that Morino Ibiki had told her might work if she needed answers, especially from Ginshin.
 
“Actually…I'm his girlfriend.” Ameko pulled her mask off and looked at the two with her pale blue eyes grinning softly. But Ginshin knew he was a dead man now, he was involved with a kunoichi from Kirigakure and of course it added up to Kakashi why Ginshin was involved with her.
 
“I'm so dead…” Ginshin openly said, and he wasn't disappointed as the two smacked him over the head. They were for the most part infuriated, and jealous of this girl. She made them look homely, it must be something about Kirigakure. “Itai…”
 
`Why are the girls of Kirigakure so much prettier than we are!? Do they build them?!' this was the thought going through the head of almost every girl in the room. Haku and Ameko excluded since they were from Kirigakure. “I see…and how do you know, our Ginshin?” the genjutsu mistress had to ask, she was wondering how many women she had to share him with.
 
“Well that's sort of a long story, but I and Ginshin are part of a secret order…that's how we met. We are part of Go Shugorei (Five Guardian Spirits), a special task force created by the late Sandaime Hokage, late Yondaime Kazekage, Raikage, Tsuchikage, and Mizukage…it was to make sure that the Bijuu don't fall into the hands of Akatsuki…but we aren't allowed to directly interfere with their lives.” she calmly began, she looked at Naruto who was sound asleep still. “I, Ginshin, Shinka, and two others are the current team assigned to Naruto. The previous team failed in their duty seeing as he fell into Orochimaru's hands…what amazes me though is that Haku and Naruto ended up meeting each other.”
 
“I see…so that explains his trips…he had to report to the Organization…and I'm guessing he goes to see Shizune while gone.” Anko hit Ginshin on the top of the head after she was done speaking. It was one of the things that irritated her. She watched as Sakura and Ino began to fight with one another, it would seem Naruto had the curse of Charisma that Ginshin possessed.
 
“The teams are made up of people who possess talents in certain jutsu types. I'm a specialist in Earth so I'm the Earth Spirit. Ame-chan is a water jutsu specialist so she's the water spirit…ironically…the other two members are ladies…so that's a problem for me-” a loud crack was heard as the two women punched Ginshin and sent him flying into the wall. “Me…and my big mouth.” he then fell unconscious.
“Something tells me I'm going to get used to this…tell me has he been trying to get Naruto to be a womanizer like he is?” Ameko didn't particularly like that aspect of Ginshin, but she understood he wasn't a jerk…just had trouble trusting.
 
“Yes, and I told him not to. Though chances are Naruto will have to follow the clan restoration law since the Uzumaki Clan was once an important clan to the village…until the past few generations when most members had died off either due to assassination, war, or the Kyuubi.” Anko became sullen as she spoke, she didn't know Arashi personally but she knew that Ginshin did. She got to her feet and woke Naruto up, she could see herself feeling like an older sister to him now, she understood him too. “Naruto…why don't you go out for a while…and girls don't fight too much it might scare him.”
 
“Hai. Anko-san…” Naruto said though it was muffled by a yawn, he hadn't been able to sleep much but it was nice. Then he saw the girls he would be spending time with, Kin, Haku, Sakura, and Ino. “Why do I feel impending doom?”
 
“Oh calm down! If you keep whining like that, I might think you are Shikamaru!” the Yamanaka girl called out as she grabbed hold of Naruto's arm. She then pulled him out of the Hanzo estate before the other three girls could do anything. She had plans to spend time with Naruto all by herself.
 
“Why…that…little…BITCH!!!” the three girls called out as the chased after Ino. Ameko was needless to say shocked that Haku was spoke in such a manner, but the Oinin of Kirigakure simply smirked in amusement. `I hadn't seen Haku as happy as she is here…the Mizukage doesn't need to know she is here…that Haku is dead…this is Haku of the leaf…' the smile pulled at Ameko's lips and she stood to her feet helping Ginshin up. “Try not to blame Gin-kun for having to split his time between seven of us. He has trust issues…”
 
Downtown…
 
“Ahhhh!! Help me!! I've been taken hostage!!” Naruto didn't know what to do he was taken captive by the Yamanaka girl. He didn't want to hit her, and part of him enjoyed the attention it was something he had never been allowed to enjoy in his life.
 
“Oh hush! I want you to meet my parents!” Ino quickly silenced him, as she continued to drag him along. Of course not far behind were three furious girls, Ino's eternal rival Sakura though they had become friends again they were still rivals, Kin the dark haired beauty from Otogakure, and the normally serene Haku.
 
“GET BACK HERE INO!!!” the pink haired kunoichi was on the verge of killing someone. Veins began to pop out of her forehead, as she stomped towards Ino in an almost ogre like manner.
 
“….Hey…Sakura…” the Uchiha survivor called out, he apparently decided to go and try something he never considered doing.
 
“What…is…it?” Sakura turned her head glaring at Sasuke, she looked very frightening because she was infuriated with Ino.
 
“Would…you like to go out for dinner…?” the boy apparently had no idea that his once great fan club had shifted their attention to a kinder boy. One who didn't act like they were a thorn in his side.
 
“No. Sasuke I'm busy. Ino took off with Naruto-kun!” Sakura was blunt, though she didn't really say why the point was but it was quite clear. She ran out of patience for the hateful boy, she didn't really need to explain it to him. The inner Sakura then appeared in the back of her mind, `Sha! That's right! I'm tired of you Sasuke! You never seemed to show much kindness for me anyway!' the Inner Sakura shouted proudly. It was official now Sasuke had been knocked down a peg in every area.
 
“Damn! Sasuke just got shot down!” Kiba called out with amusement to his voice, he was one of the many who couldn't stand the arrogant prick. He would probably agree with Naruto in saying that Sasuke acted like someone shit in his cheerios. He then broke into heavy laughter not stopping when Sasuke had glared at him.

”He's been cock blocked…you could say…” Shino quickly added, it would seem that he like many of the male students from his class disliked the Uchiha. It was quite entertaining for them to see Sasuke was being put in his place by someone that tolerable.
 
Of course Naruto was now in the belly of the beast, he was at Yamanaka Floral being forced to meet Ino's parents. He was about ready to wear his Kitsune mask just due to the fear of having to meet Ino's parents. He stopped reaching for his mask when Ino shot him a withering glare.
 
“Mom, Dad…this is Naruto-kun” Ino smiled cheerfully at her parents, she then jabbed Naruto in the side since he was petrified with fear. Naruto winced and bowed politely to Inoichi and Ino's mother.
 
“Ino…are you forcing Naruto to meet us…?” Inoichi had to question his daughter since Naruto looked rather uncomfortable. This wasn't the first time she had forced a boy to do something like this.
 
“Whatever do you mean father? I would never force Naruto-kun to do anything like that.” Ino continued that less than sweet smile of hers, fortunately for Naruto, and unfortunately for Ino three angry girls walked through the door. “Eh heh…this isn't good…not good at all…” Ino laughed nervously seeing Sakura, Haku, and Kin glaring daggers at her.
 
“It seems Naruto has the same troubles Arashi had…girls fighting over him.” Inoichi calmly said with a chuckle. This was amusing to say the least, but he felt a little ashamed of his daughter for doing this. Inoichi was one of the few people in the village that knew Naruto contained the Kyuubi, was its jailor, but he was not the Kyuubi. “Ino…even if you like Naruto you shouldn't be forcing him to come and meet us. That's how you scared away Shikamaru. Try and consider what he wants to do for a change.”
 
“I know dad…but I just wanted you to meet him!” Ino cheekily said but she knew that it was wrong to do that to Naruto since he barely knew her. She considered what her father had told her, it was a bad thing for her to be forcing Naruto to do these things. But Ino liked to boss people around, this would be a problem for her since she would have to take into consideration how Naruto felt. “What would you like to do Naruto?”
 
“I would like to get something to eat…I'm starving!” Naruto gave his genuine smile for the first time in a while. Of course the four girls almost fainted when he smiled. He was only smiling because he never got a say in what he wanted to do, so for the first time he felt happy.
 
“Okay Naruto-kun!” Ino shouted out as she grabbed him by the arm and began leading him to the best restaurant in her opinion. Sakura of course latched onto Naruto's other arm, and Kin wrapped her arms around the boy's neck. He simply looked distraught at the amount of Affection. He didn't need to have another person hanging off of him fortunately, Haku wasn't like that.
 
“We should let Naruto-kun decide where we eat.” Haku calmly interjected to give Naruto a break. She could tell that her teammate was getting a bit embarrassed from all the attention he was receiving. She figured Naruto should get to say what he wants, and it would also serve as a gauge for what the boy liked to eat.
 
“Well…I guess…I would like some ramen.” he smiled brightly, he was hoping to get some ramen sometime today. He loved the noodle based food more than anything right now, of course Ino and Sakura grimaced at the mention of the food since they thought it was fattening, and they were on a diet.
 
“But that stuff is so fattening! And I'm on a diet!” the eternal rivals both whined out, they of course earned themselves a strike against their chances then.
 
“You're both too skinny…” Naruto commented as he kept walking with the groupies clinging to him. This surprised the two members of his fan club since he openly told them they needed to gain some weight because he didn't like skinny girls.
 
When they reached the ramen stand Naruto took the right most seat, ironically the girls began to rush to see who got the seat next to him. Haku of course took the chance and sat down in the seat with a serene smile on her face. The other three girls glared daggers at Haku. “This isn't over!” the three called out relegating themselves to the other three seats.
 
The group each ordered their preferred choice of ramen, of course Naruto had ordered more than the rest of the girls were simply in shock that he could eat so much ramen. They didn't know that due to the Kyuubi he had a higher metabolic rate than most people did, so he could eat as much as he wanted with out the after effects. “Wow Naruto-kun you sure can eat a lot.” The pink haired kunoichi commented as she watched him eat, it was amazing he could eat like he did, and still retain manners.
 
“Eh heh…Ten-chan took me out for Chinese food for lunch and you know what they say, you're hungry for more thirty minutes later” he grinned in his special way starting to feel more comfortable around the girls. He was finding each was different and special and each would hold a place in his heart. Sakura was smart, Ino was confident, Kin was caring, and Haku was supportive…each was capable of a place in his heart. The question was did he really want to be just like Ginshin, he had heard the guy has seven girlfriends, that was scary and insane!
 
He was going to have trouble explaining this to Tayuya since the girl was quite possessive of him. But as far as he knew she probably wanted to kill him for changing sides…if only he could find her and convince her that Orochimaru was just using her as a pawn that would help him. “Ne Naruto-kun! Are you daydreaming?” the confident Ino called out snapping Naruto back to reality.
 
“Heh! Sorry…I was thinking about something…mostly about how Ginshin-sensei is still alive if he has seven girlfriends.” Naruto mused it was odd in his mind for someone to be still alive while having that man girlfriends. It didn't make sense to him, he could tell that Anko wasn't really the type who would share someone, and she seemed really violent.
 
“Maybe they just really love him and don't mind having to share him. If it were you, I wouldn't mind having to share you. Because, I can see you are a caring person, Naruto-kun. You wouldn't be neglectful, and you would do wonderful things.” Haku kindly spoke, and the other three girls nodded in agreement. They were willing to share him that was shocking and unsettling for the boy. The boy shocked by this fell backwards from the stool he was sitting on in shock.
 
His life just got a little more interesting to say the least, he had four girls they were pretty much infatuated with him. He would end up with an army of women desiring him if he wasn't careful…and Tayuya would kill him. Why couldn't life be normal for him just once?
 
Author's Notes: Okay there you are some romantical developments. I don't exactly like how I handled the Itachi battle but I've had nothing but fights for a few chapters. Ginshin's gonna have a harem of his own, Anko, Kurenai, Shizune, and four original characters just cause I like to harass the womanizer.
 
Translations for attacks.

Okay, one last thing…two polls.
 
Should Ayame be in the Harem?
 
Should I move ahead to the Tsunade arc or develop relationships first?
