Chapter 12 Real Training

Naruto was just standing… that's it, standing, that is until Hinata and Haku came by.

"Hi Naruto-kun…" Haku said in a seductive voice.

"Hi Haku-Chan." Naruto said, a bit skeptical.

"Naruto-kun, what's your favorite thing about a woman?" Hinata asked.

Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Um, I like them if they are nice, aren't bossy, aren't…" he stopped after hearing Hinata and Haku giggle.

"I meant physically." Hinata corrected as Naruto's eyes widen and Hinata kissed him, she soon broke the kiss only to be kissed by Haku too.

"Naruto-kun, do you want me to make you feel good?" Haku asked.

"Um, I'm not sure what you mean but sure." Naruto said with smile, eager to 'feel good' Hinata and Haku gave a perverted grin as they lead him to a bed room.

"No no no, stop that." Naruto muttered, but for some reason, he was tied up to a stump on training ground seven, and on his boxers, in front of him, giving a pervert smile while giggling constantly is Sakura Haruno as she has a hand sign and was watching intentionally on Naruto's boxers, watching it grow with each passing seconds. "Haku-Chan, don't lick that you dirty girl." Naruto said, gaining a perverted smile on his own.

Sakura giggled even more upon hearing that. 'Who knew Naruto-kun was also a pervert, we'll get along so nicely.' she thought.

If you're wondering what happened (Which, you are), Naruto have been depressed due to not being able to talk or see Haku… the though annoyed Sakura to no end, she tried several things, trying to talk to him, offering him a strip tease, kissing him, ACTUALLY told him she would be his girlfriend… he refuse. Though, sadden, she notice that Naruto was almost always distracted, so she told him that if this keeps up, he'll lose against Haku.

The though brought Naruto back to reality and asked Sakura to help him to try and forget about Haku for a whole month, she came up with a way that she showed Haku to be a sex-crazed girl and every time Naruto though about her, her many sexy form would only appear and to avoid getting a boner, he'll have to stop thinking about her.

They made no progress whatsoever; Sakura actually once found Naruto walking around with a boner.

So she trained Naruto 'harder' but stripping him and tying him up.

Naruto question Sakura why he had to be in his boxers, her only reply was: "It'll let me see your 'progress'."

In reality, she just wanted to get a better look at what he had to offer.

Sakura stopped the genjutsu as Naruto slowly opened his eyes to look at Sakura.

"Naruto… you failed again." Sakura said.

Naruto sighed. "I'm sorry, but it so hard, having a woman wanting you sexually is hard to resist. Didn't you ever have a woman go after you?" Naruto asked.

Sakura thoughts quickly go to her friend Ino. "Nope, never." she said.

Naruto sighed. "One more time, come on!" Naruto said.

Sakura looked at down and noticed Naruto got slightly smaller. "Sure, one more time!" she said excitedly.

"Naruto-kun…" Sakura turned and both were surprised to see Haku, standing next to Sasuke.

"W-w-what are you two doing here!" Sakura asked.

"We could ask the same thing… along with other questions." Sasuke said.

Naruto and Haku continue to look at each other with a sad expression, Sakura shook her head as Sasuke walked next to her and they both looked at the two.

"Wow… the tension is so thick you could cut it with a knife…" Sasuke said before taking out a kunai and making a slicing motion. "See? I'm cutting the tension." he said before receiving a punch from Sakura.

"We'll leave you too alone." Sakura said before giving Naruto a look that says: 'break her heart'

Haku and Naruto continued to look at each other, while Haku looked at a half-naked boy tied to a stump, extremely vulnerable. Naruto looked at a girl that was stripping in front of him due to the effect of the genjutsu; Naruto forced himself to look away.

"Weren't you the one that told me that we shouldn't see each other for a month?" Naruto asked.

Haku sighed. "I know, but even so, I can't stop thinking about you." she said with a blush.

"Mh, I'm trying to stop thinking about you." Naruto said while lightly blushing, remember one of the genjutsu.

They both stayed quiet for a moment as an awkward silent feel one both of them, even more awkward for Naruto since he's half-naked.

"Well…" Haku started. "I guess I should go back to training." she said before she turned to a bush. "Yo Uchiha! Come out now!" she yelled.

Sasuke stumbles forward. "Alright alright, I'm coming." Sasuke said before taking one last look at Naruto. "Ok, I'm going to ask… why are you in your boxers?" he asked.

"Why do you care?" Naruto asked.

"I don't…" Sasuke said before taking a picture. "But I'll hold onto this… in case I need something to blackmail you with." Sasuke said with an evil smirk before jumping away with Haku.

Naruto looked horrified. "WAIT, SASUKE! CAME BACK HERE YOU BASTARD!" Naruto yelled.

"Naruto…" he turned to Sakura. "Be quiet, let's continue training." she said before making a hand sign.

"Wait!" Naruto said quickly, Sakura raised an eyebrow. "Can we do something else, this is too embarrassment." Naruto said while blushing and looking down.

Sasuke gave a disappointed sigh. "Fine, try to water walk." she said.

"Water walk? How can I do that?" Naruto asked.

"Even you can't be that idiotic." she said as she walked towards the water and started walking on it.

Naruto's eyes started shining in awe. "WHOA! THAT'S SO COOL!" somehow Naruto ripped through the rope and started running towards the water, as soon as he took a step, he sunk.

Sakura sigh. "You're supposed to put chakra on your feet." she said as she watched Naruto come to shore.

"Yeah (Cough cough) I knew that." Naruto stood and made a hand sign, he started walking to the water as he started to get wobbly.

Sakura watched in amazement, seeing Naruto already get this down. 'Amazing, maybe he could actually learn how to do genjutsu…' she thought before Naruto sunk like a rock '…or not.' she thought while sweat dropping.

Naruto submerged and growled. "Why can't I do it?" Naruto asked himself.

"Um, maybe because your chakra control sucks?" Sakura said with a slight giggle. "Let's take a break, you been 'training' every day." Sakura said.

"No! I'll stay and master the water walking technique to improve my chakra control!" Naruto said with determinations and focused chakra to his feet again he started running towards the water and immediately sunk. Naruto resurfaced. "DAMN IT TO FREAKIN HELL!" he yelled up to the sky and he got to shore again and focused chakra and right went he was about to run…

"Wait!" Naruto almost tripped upon hearing Sakura yelled. She walked up towards him.

"What is it? I really want to master this." Naruto said, Sakura crouched down and stared at his stomach, Naruto blushed. "What are…?"

"Be quiet!" she snapped as she stared at Naruto's seal. "Naruto, what's up with the seal?" she asked.

Naruto tried to look at his seal but he found it hard to do, he finally gave up and asked Sakura. "What are you talking about Sakura-Chan?"

"I'm not sure, and I'm not so certain… but I think something is wrong with your seal… I think we have to find a seal master… that doesn't hate you." she added at the end.

"Alright… after I'm done training." Naruto said.

"No, we don't have time. For all we know, you could've become a time bomb and blow up! And I'll never get to say that I love y…" Sakura stopped.

Naruto reached an eyebrow. "Love… what?" he asked.

"Never get to say, that I… also love ramen." she said.

"Really! That's awesome!" Naruto said excitedly.

Sakura laughed nervously. 'That was close…' she thought. 'CHAAAAA! THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU! JUST TELL HIM YOU LOVE HIM AND THAT YOU WANT HIM TO FU…' Sakura immediately cut the link to her inner self. "Let's go, we'll need to check fast." Sakura said. Naruto nodded.

(Moments later)

Naruto was crawling on the floor, almost like he was dying. "Damn, we been… walking… for hours… we need… ramen…" Naruto said weakly.

"Naruto… we just got out of training ground seven." and right she was because right behind them was training ground seven.

Naruto stood up. "It doesn't explain the fact that I haven't eaten ramen for seven hours, that's ten years to me!" Naruto said.

"Yeah but…" Sakura covered her eyes as dust almost hit her eyes; she looked forward and saw Naruto dashing towards Ichiraku ramen. She sighed and smiled the way Naruto went before following him.

Couple of minutes passed and she caught up to him and to her surprised and everyone surprised, Naruto already ate seven bowls, already finishing the eight.

"More!" Naruto said.

"No, you already ate enough!" Ayame said.

"What! No way, I barely ate anything!"

Ayame sputtered. "Barely ate… are you out of your mind! They are eight bowls, count 'em, EIGHT bowls of ramen, if that was barely anything to you, then I don't want to know what makes you satisfied."

"Until I eat at least twenty, I won't be satisfied. "Naruto said dramatically.

Ayame eyed twitched in annoyance, thoughts of hitting the blond idiot with a giant spoon crossing through her mind… and she took it. "No no! Bad Naruto! Go to your corner and think about what you done!" Ayame yelled, believe or not, Naruto stood and walked towards a wall and sat down while chibi fox tails and ears appeared on him.

"Stupid ramen chef not taking pride in people who loves ramen…" Naruto rambled on as Sakura sweat dropped.

'What an idiot…' she said before sighing and having a lovestruck look on her. 'But he's my idiot… and mine alone.' she added in her mind.

Naruto stood and walked over Sakura. "You want to eat some ramen?" Naruto asked as he looked at the ramen stand and to his horror, there was a sign saying: 'No Naruto Uzumaki for the next two hours.'

Naruto's eyes started to tear up. "No ramen… for two hours?" he asked himself as he looked down and walked away slowly.

Sakura followed him while giggling softly.

They both looked all over the village, looking all the training grounds, except the forest of death, all the jonin meeting spots which for some reason Sakura knew. But they couldn't find someone who could help Naruto with his seal problem. They kept looking for two hours, which at the moment, Naruto dashed to ichiraku for more ramen, he ate five bowls, he would've eaten more but Ayame stopped him before he could eat more.

Currently they were at the woman hot spring as Sakura said she was all sweaty and could take a bath, Naruto didn't understand why she wanted to go to a hot spring but Sakura still forced him to come which confuse him even more.

Naruto was just standing and continued to practice his water walking technique again but he kept failing and now he would boil everytime he failed.

He was going to try again but he was stopped by hearing some giggles, this wasn't any girl, innocent giggle, but it was a perverted giggle.

Naruto looked back to see a man with long white hair peeping into the girls side of the hot spring, Naruto arched an eyebrow as he silently walked up to the man and stood next to him.

"What are you doing?" Naruto asked.

The man looked at Naruto with a blank expression, and without a second though, he turned back to his 'research' but he blinked and stared at Naruto again. The man quickly took notice of Naruto's spiky blond hair and his facial expression.

"Ah, it's you…" the man stood. "I was questioning when I'll finally get to see you." he said.

"Huh? Who are you?" Naruto asked.

The man smirked as he started to do some weird goofy dance. "I am known by many names, I am The Toad Sage, the writer of the popular Icha Icha series, I am also known by every guy, boy and girls ever exist as a super pervert, I'm…"

"… In big trouble…" Sakura said with a towel over her.

The man looked at her then noticed her pink hair. "Boy, that hair color is very unusual, you must have serious problem to dye your hair pink." before anyone could see it, Sakura punched the man straight in the face and he went flying towards a pool, the man emerge.

"What was that for?" he asked.

"I'll ask this once, who are you?" Sakura said while cracking her knuckles.

"I am the toad sage and sannin Jiraiya." the man known as Jiraiya said.

Sakura froze as she looked at Jiraiya and she quickly picked him up.

"I'm so sorry; I didn't know who you were… I just really hate it when people make fun of my hair." Sakura said.

Jiraiya waved her off. "Nonsense, I felt stronger hits from my former teammates." Jiraiya said, thinking about a blond-haired woman.

Sakura sighed. "That's a relief." Sakura looked at Jiraiya and just had to ask. "Excuse me, are you any good with seal?" she asked, Jiraiya nodded. "Do you hate him?" Sakura asked, pointing at Naruto, Jiraiya shook his head. "Great, come with me!" Sakura said excitedly and pulled Jiraiya.

"Ok, good to know…" Jiraiya said as he couldn't help himself touched Sakura's chest but he kept moving his hand around, trying to find a round soft object but never found any. "Mh… that's odd…" Jiraiya said outloud.

"I know, Sakura suddenly stopped." Naruto said, Jiraiya looked at Sakura who had fire all over her.

"Did you just…?" Sakura asked but she never finished before he kicked Jiraiya in the most painful place possible, Naruto flinched once he saw where she kicked him. Jiraiya fell to the ground. "THAT PLACE IS ONLY FOR NARUTO TO TOUCH!" Sakura yelled, Jiraiya quickly ignored the pain and looked at Sakura with a confuse expression. Sakura quickly got over her anger and looked at Naruto who was blushing.

"Um… what is…"

"N-n-nothing!"

"But you…"

"I said nothing!"

"But…"

"NOTHING!" Sakura yelled more forcefully.

Jiraiya stood up from his pained position and looked at Sakura. "Ok pin… I mean Sakura… what did you have to show me?" Jiraiya asked.

"Oh, um… Naruto…" Sakura said.

Naruto nodded, he opened his shirt and concentrated chakra before the seal appeared.

Jiraiya eyes widened. "So you know about…" Jiraiya trailed off before Naruto and Sakura nodded. Jiraiya sighed. "Alright, I'll help…" he said, Sakura almost squealed in excitement. "But not here, we need to go someplace more… secluded." he finished.

They both nodded.

(A couple of minutes of walking later)

They were on the clearing again, as Naruto was shirtless. Jiraiya was looking at Naruto's seal before he came to a conclusion.

"Yep, this is Orochimaru's work." Jiraiya said before five flames appeared in each fingers.

Sakura, remembering that Orochimaru used that on Naruto, eyes widened when she saw Jiraiya approach Naruto.

Sakura appeared in front of Naruto with a kunai. "I won't let you hurt Naruto." she said.

Jiraiya smirked. "Well well, what do we have here?" Jiraiya asked. "It seems Naruto here has…"

"A close friend that cares about his wellbeing." Sakura cut him off, knowing what Jiraiya was going to say.

Jiraiya frowned. "What, you don't…" before he could finish, Sakura pulled him away.

"Keep your mouth shut or I will bring back the pain from before." Sakura threaten, Jiraiya seemed confuse before his eyes widened, he quickly nodded before turning back to Naruto.

"Don't worry little girl, I won't hurt Naruto." Jiraiya said with a chuckled, before anyone expected it, he slammed his palm to Naruto's stomach, painfully.

Naruto gasped for air when he landed on the ground. Sakura ran towards him. "Naruto, are you ok?" Sakura asked.

Naruto breathe more slowly. "The hell was that for you bastard!" Naruto yelled.

"I was helping you… walk on the water now." Jiraiya commanded.

Naruto grumbled in annoyance as he walked towards the water, he took one step, two steps, three steps, and he hasn't sunk, Naruto looked down at himself and saw that he was standing on water.

"Hey, Sakura-Chan! I'm standing on water, I'm water walking!" Naruto said while jumping up and down.

Sakura shook her head. "Naruto your so childish." she said to herself then just kept watching Naruto talking to himself, saying how he can now learn several cool jutsus.

"Alright gaki, you won't be learning anything just yet, we'll see if your worthy of learning some jutsus from me." Jiraiya said.

"Oh please, what can an old pervert teach me?" Naruto asked.

Jiraiya popped a vein. "Old pervert! I am a super pervert!" Jiraiya yelled, as if he was proclaiming it to the world.

Sakura sweat dropped. What have I gotten myself into?' Sakura thought.

"Now watched this…" Jiraiya bit his thumb before making several hand sign. "SUMMONING JUTSU!" He slams his palm the ground before smoke came out.

Afterwards a toad came out.

"Eww! It's a frog!" she yelled.

"Hey! I'm not a frog!" the toad said.

"Ahhhh! A talking frog!" she said.

Jiraiya sigh. "This is a summoning, if you're lucky, I could show you the toad summoning contract." Jiraiya said.

Naruto eyes shine. "That'll be so cool!" Naruto said.

"Eh! Are you serious!" Sakura asked.

Naruto looked at Sakura. "Of course! Who knows what I will accomplish!" Naruto said.

"But, but… but… fine, like it matters, it's not like I'm going to sign it." Sakura said.

Naruto and Jiraiya stared at Sakura. "No! I'm not going to sign the contract"

"But…" Naruto was saying.

"Let it go Naruto, it's her choice, I have no right to force her into a contract that she doesn't want." Jiraiya said.

"Thank you…" Sakura said. "I better go home, bye Naruto." she said with wink.

Naruto blushed. "Yeah uh… see ya… S-Sakura-Chan…" Naruto said as he watched Sakura leave.

Jiraiya walked up to Naruto. "So… you like her don't you?" he asked.

Naruto jumped. "What! Since when did you…"

"Do you like her yes or no?" Jiraiya asked.

Naruto frowned with a light blush. "So what if I do?" he asked.

Jiraiya smiled. 'The two children like each other and they probably don't know about it… now it is my duty as Naruto's new guardian to get him and this pink-haired girl to be together!' Jiraiya thought but under this motive where hopeful adult rated scenes.

"Listen Naruto, how about I help you get with this Sakura girl?" he asked.

Naruto instantly looked at Jiraiya in a new light. "Really! You would do that!" Naruto asked.

"That's right, woman swooned everywhere I go, I'm pretty sure I can figure out how to get you two together." Jiraiya said with a smile.

"If you do that! I'll go through any means training to learn cool jutsus from you!" Naruto said with a salute.

Jiraiya stopped.

(Time skip)

"Naruto-kun, stop!" Haku moaned in pleasure as Naruto played with her breast.

"I'm sorry Haku-Chan…" Naruto said as he kissed her right nipple and licked her other. "I just can't… stop." he said as he lowers himself.

Haku watched before she gave a loud moan. "NARUTO-KUN!" she yelled, and just like that, it ended for Haku was trapped in a genjutsu like Naruto was with Sakura.

Haku was in her bras and panties tried to a stump, with Sasuke casting the genjutsu.

"Wow, who knew Sakura's way of training Naruto actually worked?" Sasuke said while laughing.

Haku groaned. "Why did you stop!" she asked.

"Because, last thing I need is to look for another pair of undies… AGAIN!" Sasuke yelled, pointing at a pile of panties by a tree, all of them really, really wet.

Haku growled in annoyance. "Can you blame me?" she asked.

"Yes… you need to learn better self-control, imagine if Naruto learned some genjutsus, he could easily defeat you just by doing this and kicking you hard in the ribs." Sasuke said explained.

Haku once again grumbled in annoyance before a kunai passed by and cut the ropes.

"Get dress, people might think of me as a pervert if they see me with you in that situation, and I don't want Ino to think of me as a pervert." Sasuke said.

Haku's ears perked up. "Ino? Who is this Ino girl?" she asked.

"Mh?" Sasuke seemed confuse. "Oh Ino, she's a girl I'm dating, her name is Ino Yamanaka, she usually dresses in a lot of purple, long blond hair tied in a pony-tail, bandages for shorts and likes flower a lot." Sasuke explained.

"Interesting." Haku said.

"Why?" Sasuke asked.

"No reason, hey, where does this Ino girl lives?" Haku asked as she leans closer to Sasuke, already in her clothes.

"Um… not sure, she works in a flower slop which… I think is her home, she should be working now."

"Excellent." Haku said as an ice crystal appeared behind her as she chuckles all creepy like and slowly walks towards the ice crystal and going into, the crystal melts and Haku vanish.

Sasuke stood there as the wind pick up, Sasuke saw a mental image of Ino and lower his head. "I'm sorry Ino but… I feel like I just screwed you." he said.

(With Sakura)

Sakura reached her home slightly excited, she got to see her Naruto-kun in a promising position, she spend most of the day with Naruto and seeing him half-naked, and Naruto would still have her train him with chakra control, this day couldn't get any better.

"Little girl…" Sakura turned to see a weird guy in a black cloak with red clouds. "I need to ask you some question about a certain blond haired boy." he said.

Sakura narrowed her eyes. "Why do you need to know anything about Naruto? Are you one of the people that want to hurt Naruto?" Sakura asked.

The guy stared at the girl. "No, I just want to help him, and I need as much information on him." the man lied.

Sakura kept staring at him but she saw no ill intention from him, but Sakura was still cautious.

"Alright, I'll tell you what I know about Naruto, but… I need to know your name first." Sakura said.

The man stood there. Staring at her with does emotionless black eyes. "I see no reason to tell you my name." he replied.

"Then I see no reason to tell you anything about Naruto, bye." Sakura said, she turned but the man roughly grabbed her shoulder and spun her around. The man looked at her in the eyes as he activated the fully evolved sharingan, Sakura gasped. 'That's…'

"TSUKUYOMI!" that was the last thing Sakura heard before her world turned black.

(Days later)

Naruto was running through the village as he was pushing people away, yelling 'out of the way!'

It seemed Naruto was running towards the hospital, he burst through the door and immediately went to the counter. "Where's the room for Sakura Haruno!" Naruto asked.

The lady seemed confused but still told him. "She's in room 302 but she's…" without letting her finish, Naruto dashed through the hospital in search of her crush.

He reached the door and opened it and saw Sakura laying there with Sasuke, Kakashi, Ino and Haku.

Sasuke turned to Naruto. "So you're here huh?" he asked.

Naruto pushed Sasuke away and looked at Sakura; her face was far from peaceful. Sakura's face was cringed as if she was in pain and she was drenched in sweat, her hand was gripping the sheet and her feet constantly kicks with her sometimes muttering no, almost as if she was having a nightmare.

Naruto watched this with pained eyes.

"How did this happen?" Naruto asked.

"No one knows." Kakashi said.

"Someone has too! There has to be people around when it happens!" Naruto said.

"There was, but they all ended up dead, any witnesses are now dead, so no one knows who did this to Sakura." Kakashi said.

Naruto tighten his fist. "Once I find the bastard who did this… he's dead." Naruto said while gritting his teeth.

"I know how you feel Naruto, but revenge will get you nothing, don't think about revenge at this moment, you should be worried for Sakura." Kakashi said, looking at Sasuke more than Naruto.

Naruto sighed, looking at Sakura.

"N-Naruto…" Sakura suddenly muttered. Everyone suddenly closed in, almost as if those were her first words. "Please… h-help me…" Sakura whispered in the end as tears swelled in her eyes and her breathing quicken.

"She's hyperventilating, nurse! Sakura's hyperventilating!" Kakashi yelled.

Suddenly for some reason nurses and doctors came through with several doctors utensil, almost as if they were waiting outside for the right moment.

"I'm sorry but you got to leave." a doctor says as he and other nurses push them out.

"Wait, no, I have to stay with Sakura-Chan!" Naruto yells. He reached out for Sakura and he swore he saw Sakura open one eyes which was devoid of all emotion except for pain, fear, and sadness.

Sakura shakily reached an arm out for Naruto and shakily says: "N-Naruto-kun…" and that's all Naruto hears before the door shuts in his face.

Go ahead, take your anger out at me, trust me, even I hate myself for ending it here, but I can't think of anything to write from here, this chapter was going to be more focused on Naruto and Sakura and since Sakura just suffered a Tsukuyomi, I had to end the chapter here. For those who might hate me for making Itachi appear early, or for those who loves Sakura and having to read her suffering under the effect of Tsukuyomi… read above, take all your anger out. I have people telling me I did terrible in certain things… and they come from my family, so I won't be hurt… It'll probably sting but that's it.
