One Week Later

"You have to be lying to me," Asuma drawled out as he rose an eyebrow of skepticism. "I know he's strong as hell but strong enough to make Orochimaru flee? I can't believe that!" Anko, who was sitting across from Asuma and next to Kurenai, felt her mouth open in awe. 

"No fucking way." Kurenai nodded. 

"It's true, he completely overpowered him. It wasn't even a competition, with a flick of his wrist he caused the dirt to go hundreds of feet in the air before it shot spikes everywhere and killed those guys and made Orochimaru run away!" She breathed. "It was amazing and yet terrifying!" She shivered. "I've never seen him more serious than he was at that moment." 

"Serious? That's news, didn't know he was capable," Asuma said honestly. "He's always grinning and being the one who cheers everyone up. It's just a weird thing to know I guess. . ." 

"Huh, it seems Hokage-sama knew his power. It's just crazy that he used it just to save me. . ." Anko whispered before he fist clenched around her cup. "I hated being so useless. I was so powerless!" 

"Well," A new voice chimed in as Kakashi Hatake took a seat next to Asuma, his eye looking at his book and nothing else. "You did go against one of the best geniuses this village has seen. It's actually not surprising you were so defenseless." 

Anko growled at him and quickly grabbed the knife on the table only to stop as he continued. 

"But you need to stop comparing yourself to someone like Naruto. That boy has been training since he could walk. He's been to hell, kicked Satan's ass, and back. He's the strongest shinobi I've ever seen and I've never seen him fight seriously.

"Naruto has always dreamed of being a god and bringing peace to the world. He's close to that dream now more than ever. It's no surprise he made Orochimaru look like a wimp, I'm actually surprised that the slimy bastard got away." 

"Always was slippery," Anko cursed before taking another swig of her drink. "Anyway, can we change the subject? I'm getting cranky." 

"Hm," Kakashi began before grinning under his mask. "We can always start a reading group about-" 

"No." Kurenai interrupted him immediately. 

"Aw c'mon," Asuma joked as he wrapped an arm around Kakashi's shoulder. "It might be fun!" Kurenai rolled her eyes at the Sarutobi before standing up and stretching. 

"Alright then, it seems that this conversation is over. Let's go Anko, I'm not interested in BBQ anymore." 

"Awww c'mon I was just kidding!" Asuma whined while Kakashi laughed internally at the man's predicament. 

"Anko and I are going to the bar. Hopefully, we won't run into any annoying perverts!" 

"Listen, man," Naruto began, his voice slightly slurred as he downed another shot of whiskey. "Ever since Kurama and I became friends, he's been able to on and off his regeneration. Now, I can drink and get drunk!" 

"I know Naruto-san," Hachi, the bar owner said as he was drying a clear glass. "You tell me this every time you get drunk." Naruto then leaned in to and whispered to the bar owner. 

"What if someone tries to take advantage of me? I mean, I'm drunk! I can't even see straight!" Naruto then began laughing as he slapped the countertop. "I'm just kidding! Hachi-san, you wouldn't believe me if I told you that on my last mission I completely bitch slapped somebody across the battlefield!" 

Hachi, who was usually a stoic barkeep, let a rare smile crack upon his features. "I would believe you, Naruto-san. You are quite strong." Naruto began laughing harder. "Do you know who it was?" Naruto glanced around, a red blush on his face due to the booze before giggling slightly. 

"Yep! It was Orochimaru, the Snake Sannin! After I slapped the word of god into him he ran away! It was hilarious!" 

"Wait a minute," A Jounin named Ebisu said as he put his glasses up further on his face. "You mean someone like you slapped Orochimaru of the Sannin across the battlefield and made him run away?" 

"Someone like me? Is that a race thing? I mean, c'mon dude we're both white unless I'm colorblind or some shit," Naruto said before his eyes widened. "Or if you're colorblind or some shit!" He began laughing again. 

"I mean of someone of your condition," Naruto stopped laughing for a second and met Ebisu's eyes. "Oh, you mean the Nine Tails? Dude, don't tell me there are still people in the village that think I'm his incarnate or some shit. I'm Naruto Namikaze, not that fluffy little fucking fox that's free inside of me." 

"Call me fuzzy little fucking fox again and I will make sure that you get plagued by naked grandpas in your dreams," Kurama said from inside his head. Naruto paled in the real world and shook his head.

"Ahaha, I take that back. He's not a furry fucking fox, he's just a fox with FEELINGS! Guess you wouldn't know about that wouldja? You think you're soooooo smart huh? I bet you train Konohamaru cause you like to see little boys sweat! Am I right?" Ebisu glared furiously at Naruto. 

"Now listen here, you insolent child! I will not have you throwing accusations at me for being a pedophile when I'm just doing my duty as the trainer of the next Hokage!" Naruto began laughing again. 

"Hokage? Jeez, big ambitions. Too bad you won't be training the next Hokage, cause that'll be me up on that mountain and I don't plan on dying till I'm thirty so you'll just have to wait!" Ebisu hmphed and got out of his seat and began walking out of the door before stopping to look at Naruto out of the corner of his eye. 

"No matter how powerful you become, the citizens of Konoha will never have a demon brat as their Hokage." He sneered. Naruto began laughing as he set his glass down. 

"Trust me, Ebisu," He vanished from his sight before he was just inches away from the Jounin, his eyes replaced with Kurama's. "If I was truly a demon, I wouldn't let you live now would I?" Ebisu then decided that crying and maybe pissing his pants in front of the strongest shinobi in Konoha would not be a good idea. He just ran past the blonde and out of sight. 

"Dick," Naruto muttered before his eyes changed back to their normal color. "Sorry for that little display, I just hate that fucking bitch cause he acts like a dick!" He shouted loudly before taking a whisk from a rather large vodka bottle. "God I love alcohol so much more now that I get drunk." He said dreamily as he gazed at the bottle lovingly. 

"Woah, holy shit he's wasted!" Anko said as she sat next to Naruto. "I thought you couldn't get drunk?" Naruto laughed. 

"Haha! Boop!" He said as he poked Anko's nose, causing the woman to glare at him. "I can get drunk, I've been able to ever since Kurama and I became friends!" Anko narrowed her eyes at him. 

"You've been friends with Kurama for almost two years now. . ." She growled. "We've been out drinking almost a thousand times and you never got drunk!" Kurenai kept quiet as she observed the two. 

They were cute together in her opinion, but she was a little jealous of the familiar relationship they had. She was attracted to Naruto, hence why she gave him a quick kiss on the battlefield so he wouldn't fret about everything. She didn't know how she truly felt about him though, she was conflicted. 

On one hand, he was a great guy and an excellent shinobi and a leader. He's most likely going to become the Fifth Hokage once the Third steps down. He was young and handsome too. He was like the perfect guy, almost. 

But he scared her. Not because he would hurt her or anyone else, but he would hurt himself. She had begun noticing it more often now that he began behaving erratically, unlike what she had grown accustomed to. He had hated killing, and to save Anko, he didn't hesitate, and even when the three Orochimaru's goons surrendered, he still murdered them despite Anko being safe. 

There was something about him that freaked her out and she wouldn't be able to move onto her feelings until she was certain of what it was. 

"And?" Naruto began as he poked her forehead. "We both know that you would try and rape me if I was drunk with you! Ain't that right Hachi-san?" 

"I prefer to stay out of your lover's quarrel." He responded easily. 

"I would not rape you!" Anko protested. "It would be consensual cause I know you love me!" 

"I'm Naruto fucking Namikaze, Anko," Naruto said as he giggled. "I love everybody!" 

"Yeah, I know." She said as she crossed her arms and pouted. "I mean, you're a virgin, and I'm a virgin, can't we just, lose it together?" Naruto laughed. 

"You're so adorable that you're begging to have sex with me!" He said before kissing her cheek, her face alight in a split second as he stood up from the bar and walked out. Anko placed her hand on her cheek before standing up and rushing out the bar, leaving Kurenai alone.

"Oh well, I'll just have a shot of whiskey and be one my way I suppose," She said as she laughed a little. "That man is always making life more interesting, isn't he?" Hachi nodded. 

"Very much so." 

Anko stormed out of the bar and saw Naruto walking away, his hands in his pockets as he looked up at the moon. "What the hell was that?" Anko shouted. Naruto turned around, his cheeks no longer red, Kurama's regeneration back in effect. 

"What was what?" Anko turned red.

"You fucking kissed me on the cheek you little fucking shit! The fuck do you mean what was what?" Naruto laughed a little as he scratched the back of his head. 

"I thought that's how people displayed feelings?" He said awkwardly. Anko glared at him.

"What do you mean display feelings? Don't bullshit me Naruto! You just said you loved every one!" Naruto nodded.

"I do. I love everyone in the village, except for the dicks and shits though, they're asses." Anko had tears start coming from her eyes. 

"Then why?" She began, glaring at him through the tears. "Why did you just kiss me? I heard what you did for my sake, you almost killed everyone just to save me? Would you do that for a random civilian? Why are you so confusing all the time!?

"One moment I feel like we have something then the next you say something that topples over what I thought was happening! Can't you see how I feel about you? Don't you care how bad it hurts to see you walk away from me every day? I want to be with you and-" She couldn't finish her sentence as Naruto wrapped her in a hug. 

"Anko-chan," He began. "I love you. I really do, not like I do everyone else in the village. I've fallen for you, and I'm terrified that if I were to lose you after getting so close, after giving in to my emotions. . . I've already lost my family twice, I can't lose anybody else, least of all you. I'm scared every minute we talk and joke around because I know that you'll just keep working your magic and making me fall for you even more." He placed his forehead against her and smiled. 

"S-So you do love me?" She began as she began wiping her tears. 

"I do." He said before he grinned. "But I think you just want me as a sex toy." 

"When will you learn to shut up?" Anko whispered with a grin before she pushed up and caught his lips with her own. 

It was sloppy, but that sheer inexperience they both had was made up with the passion they both had. Naruto disengaged the kiss, a thick trail of saliva connecting the two. 

"Wanna go to your place or mine?" Anko said with a sneaky grin. Naruto grinned. 

"Sakura's probably asleep, your place would be better." He grabbed ahold of her waist and they both vanished. 

Kakashi, who had watched the entire ideal from the rooftop of a random building smirked. "My little brother is getting laid, my little brother is getting laid!" He chanted to himself, happy that Naruto had finally admitted his feelings for the former snake pupil. 

He was glad things were finally turning up for Naruto. 

God knows how much he's been through. . .

"Obito-sama," Zetsu began as he rose from the ground. "A Civil War has broken out in the Bloody Mist. It seems that the resistance is at a disadvantage. The Third Mizukage commands the Three-Tails admirably." Obito laughed as he looked outside his cave, rain pouring down. 

"Good. It's about time those fools pay for what they did to her, with any luck they'll drown in each other's blood without any further interference." He said before looking at Zetsu. "And the reports on my little brother?" 

"He has progressed nicely. The pain of losing those dear to him has made him quite the adversary. He currently is a sensei and is training Itachi Uchiha's younger brother, Sasuke Uchiha and now has an adopted daughter, Sakura Haruno.

"He was capable of making one of the Sannin, Orochimaru, flee in terror by the sheer amount of power he has. I'd say that he rivals Madara or even you, Obito-sama." Obito smirked under his mask. 

"Great, that means he'll become an even greater ally when I recruit him to end this world and rebirth a new one." He activated his Sharingan. "I will go make sure Pain is following my instructions and holding off on capturing any of Jinchuuriki besides the Six Tails and the Seven Tails, they should be easier targets since they are isolated and running amuck.

"We will wait to capture the Three-Tails, the Four Tails, and the Five Tails until the proper precautions are taken. The last thing we need at the moment is the Akatsuki on every newspaper in the shinobi world. Zetsu, continue monitoring the Civil War and give me periodic updates on Naruto's condition." 

"As you wish, Obito-sama." 

The world would fall before him with Naruto at his side and they would create a new perfect world with everyone they loved in it. 

No more pain.

No more suffering. 

Ever.
