Kakashi put his hand in the air and lowered it shouting 'Begin!' before jumping back out of the way. Neither combatant moved, they just stood there analyzing the situation and forming battle plans in their heads. Well, Sasuke was. Naruto was just standing there with his hands by his side, which infuriated Sasuke to no end. How was the idiot planning to fight him if he hadn't taken a stance yet? Something about this just didn't seem right, and knowing about Naruto's unpredictable nature as he did, he opted to activate the Sharingan. If his opponent was going to let his power hang out, then so would he.

Kakashi watched all this with wide eyes. Neither man had moved yet and he was already sweating about the outcome. He didn't really want to see either hurt, but knew in his heart that Naruto couldn't win. It just wasn't possible to beat the Sharingan. That's why Naruto was never able to bring Sasuke home. He simply couldn't stand up to the awesomeness of that eye. Sasuke was the elite, a noble, someone who was gifted from birth. Naruto had no finesse, and even though he was of noble blood, you'd never be able to tell it from the way he acted. He had no air of dignity, and even though he worked hard, it just couldn't overcome his deficiencies. 'It's just too bad. Once Sasuke makes his move it'll all be over. Poor Naruto...'

Ino stood on the sidelines practically foaming at the mouth. While she had a link to her mate that allowed them to communicate without fail, her own powers had been amplified to where she could pick up the subconscious thoughts of others if she concentrated on them. Ino had been picking her way through the crowd, seeing what they thought of the match. 99 of the people wanted Sasuke ground into hamburger meat, but there were a few that simply would not back a demon. The council had somehow gotten wind of the match and had come scurrying like the rats they were to see their precious Rokudaime Hokage beat the snot out of the worthless Uzumaki. Then she had picked up on Kakashi's thoughts and had gone into such a silent rage that she began to shake and Gaara had to calm her by putting his hand on her shoulder. Unfortunately, Naruto had felt her rage through the link and had asked her what the problem was.

'It's nothing, dear, except that your former teacher has decided you don't have a snowball's chance in hell of beating the traitor. I heard him thinking that your hard work would never amount to anything basically.'

'So yet another person who just gives things to the Uchiha. Not like Hatake ever did anything different when we were growing up. What he said was not only an insult to me but also to our friend Lee and his sensei Gai. I will not stand for this. Please, don't interrupt me in this fight Ino. I want to show them my true power.'

'Of course Naruto. Have fun and hurry up. We never got to have another dance.'

Sasuke stared at Naruto wondering what the hell was going on. He had seen the blonde stiffen in one instance, then relax, and now he was...chuckling? What the hell was going on in his head? Was the fox cracking jokes now? Perhaps a trip inside with Tsukuyomi would be appropriate. Suddenly the deep voice of Naruto boomed out over the mountain.

"TSUNADE! I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my promise to you about this battle. It seems that certain former teachers believe that a genius can overcome hard work and I will not stand for that. LEE! I'm dedicating this to you. THE FLAMES OF YOUTH SHALL PREVAIL!"

He was answered with a loud 'YOSH!' from two distinguishable characters in forest green kimonos with orange sashes. Tacky, but suited the wearers to a tee. No one could accuse them of being boring, that was for sure. But as their cries of 'youth' rang out, a certain silver haired jounin was looking wide-eyed at a certain blonde wondering how he had found out what he was thinking. Tsunade was beside herself with worry. She didn't know now what Naruto would do and she couldn't stop him if she wanted to (and she really didn't want to). Hell, the whole village couldn't stop him even at half power. Murmurs flew throughout the crowd, wondering what he was talking about holding back for. You don't hold back in a fight against a Sharingan wielder. Tired of the constant insults to her mate, Ino shouted above the din.

"SHUT UP! It's starting."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Indeed it was. Sasuke had taken back his standard stance and was prepared to lunge forward when Naruto made his first move and took a stance no one recognized. He spread his legs till his feet were away from his body and his knees bent, his body hunched forward. His arms hung limp in front of him, the hands half clenched, the claws razor sharp and ready to slash. Sasuke raised an eyebrow at this absurd stance but shook it off and waited for him to make a move. Even with his Sharingan activated, he never saw Naruto lunge forward and cut his shirt to ribbons though before appearing back in the postion he had been in beforehand.

No one saw him move. There was a blur of yellow, an afterimage where he stood and just a second later, he was back where he started, with the Uchiha's shirt fluttering to the ground in shreds. Jaws slacked at the scene and were immediately followed by smirks when everyone realized that had he wanted to, Naruto could have cut Sasuke to pieces before he could react. Ino was trying to suppress her giggle at the body of the Uchiha. Unlike her husband, whose body was very muscular and tan, the body of Sasuke was that of someone who never had to work for what he had. His body was pale and his muscles undefined, though there was hardly any fat on his body. Tsunade sneered and thought he looked like Orochimaru, while Jiraiya was thinking along the same lines, just not in so kind a manner. Sasuke, however, was livid. The idiot had shown him up once again, in front of a crowd no less.

"How? How did you move at a speed that not even the Sharingan could see? It's not possible. Stop relying on that fox and face me like a man."

"Oh really? Do you have any right to demand how I fight Hokage-sama? I don't seem to remember you having any morals when we fought at the Valley of the End about using unnatural power. Or is it just the fact that your inner Orochimaru might come out if you lose control? By the way, how is it to have your mind raped every night? Or does he just molest your inner child?"

Naruto was trying to goad the Uchiha into making a fatal mistake, that mistake being pulling out his Chidori. Feeling he was winning the mental war, Naruto kicked it up a notch with a sneer that would have put Orochimaru himself to shame.

"Not so fun is it Uchiha? Having a voice in your head telling you all the time what to do, to let it out, trying to take you over. I've lived with that my whole life and you've only dealt with it a few years. How you coping? Have you begun to break down yet? Feeling the pressure of locking away another soul yet? Does the council know about your predicament? That you hold Konoha's greatest missing nin in your body? Or do they know and just don't care that a traitor and his master can waltz in and take over as Hokage? I'd like some answers soon Sasuke-kun."

That was it. Sasuke snapped and lunged at Naruto, throwing Katon jutsus everywhere, scorching the ground and causing general mayhem. Several times Gaara had to create a sand shield only for it to shatter like glass from the heat being generated. What surprised people the most though, was that Naruto was bouncing around the battlefield like a little kid on sugar, laughing gleefully the whole time. He had flustered the normally unflappable Uchiha and was enjoying himself immensely. Nothing could bring him down from this high, this elation at messing with Sasuke's head. Well, nothing except a maniacal laugh and some extremely cold words.

"Uzumaki! If you don't fight me, when I become Hokage I will carry through with my words. I'll take your son from you and send him on dangerous missions. I'll make sure his life is as miserable as yours was. You miserable scum, fight me! Prove that you're worthy of my scorn or your child's life is forfeit. Kukukukuku..."

Naruto stopped cold in his tracks and caught the fists of the Uchiha and held him firm. His eyes had gone back to blue, the illusion of ferocity gone. Now they were that piercing, frightening blue that could melt your soul. Naruto stared down at the shorter man and spoke with clarity.

"What. Did. You. Say."

It was a demand more than a question and it made Sasuke pause for a moment. He cut his eyes at the crowd and saw that even among his supporters he had no sympathy. Mess with Naruto, that's fine. But mess with his son and you've opened yourself to a world of pain. Ino was furious and had marched over to Sakura to find out if this is what she thought of Hikaru also. Before she could start a rant however, she found the pink haired woman in tears, sobbing frantically. She kept muttering the words 'evil' and 'no, not Hikaru' over and over. It seems her husband was not the saint everyone made him out to be. And he had threatened HER son no less. Sakura's eyes hardened and she jumped to her feet, shocking Ino and everyone else with what she shouted.

"UCHIHA SASUKE! IF YOU EVER TOUCH MY SON, HUSBAND OR NOT, I WILL END YOUR EXISTENCE ON THIS EARTH! MARK MY WORDS YOU SOULLESS BASTARD!"

"Well that was unexpected."

Naruto was musing to himself on the actions of his ex wife. He may not love her anymore but one has to admire the conviction of a mother to protect her children, whether she had seen them in recent years or not. He was removed from his daydreaming by the bitter voice of an angry Sasuke.

"YOU SHUT THE HELL UP WOMAN! I WILL DO AS I PLEASE, TO WHOM I PLEASE! I AM AN UCHIHA AND YOU ARE MINE TO DO WITH AS I PLEASE! REMEMBER WHO YOU BELONG TO!"

Killing intent immediately flared up everywhere at the Uchiha's words, all the women ready to kill him at a moment's notice. Many were former fan girls who couldn't believe that this was what they wanted to be involved with. The rest were men who didn't like any woman to be spoken to disrespectfully. The most intense ones were from all his friends, who he had fought and bled with. The six enormous ones were from Ino, Sakura, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Gaara, and surprisingly Hikaru. Sasuke's eyes widened as the killing intent slammed into him and he wilted slightly, before hearing a gasp from the crowd. Hearing slightly labored breathing he turned his face to stare at a completely feral Naruto, his tails and ears now revealed in all their glory. His fangs were enormous and he literally radiated death. His voice now had a demonic timbre to it.

"You have threatened my child Uchiha Sasuke. That is unforgivable. You have threatened your mate and have spat on the very ideals of decency that everyone holds dear. I can smell the snake on you, you sick, twisted little man. You will feel my wrath as I break every bone in your body. Your uppance has come Uchiha."

Sasuke could only look on in fear as Naruto raised his fist and plunged it into his chest, shattering his sternum and making him scream in pain. All he got in response was a hoarse laugh from the man standing in front of him.

"Hmmm. Hurts doesn't it? Not as bad as a hole in your chest but it still hurts real bad. Now then where to strike next? I know. Ino, dear, ask Sakura what bone I should break next please? I can't decide...there's simply too many choices."

Kakashi broke himself out of his stupor long enough to try to reason with what he thought was a Kyuubi controlled Naruto.

"Naruto, that's enough. You've made your point. You won. It's over."

A low growl answered him followed by another demonic chuckle that surprisingly enough, did not make the crowd shudder. After hearing their next Hokage threaten to murder a child, how bad could a demon defending the child's honor and the honor of a woman who hated him be? Most of Naruto's friends were staring in wonder at his transformation and more than a few females were thinking impure thoughts of how cute he looked and wondering what the tails could do. Ino, hearing these thought, turned to the crowd and released her own henge, showing her beautiful ears and tail.

"Sorry girls, he's all mine. Hands off. Just enjoy the show. It's not every day you get to see a future Hokage have his ass handed to him."

Once again, no one was as shocked as they should have been, but being ninja you see a lot of weird things in your life. Fox ears and a tail weren't all that weird compared to a guy who could kill you by killing himself and a puppeteer that made puppets out of dead people. This would just require an answer later on. That chuckle had now turned into deep laughter and all eyes swung back to a hysterical Naruto.

"I won? It's over? I don't fucking think so Hatake. This match was over when he threatened my son. This match was over the second he threatened the mother of his children. Konoha, this is your future Hokage? A mentally unstable lunatic? An abuser of women and children? Truly you have fallen far. Now then Sakura, what bone is next? Ask her Ino!"

"Well Sakura, what bone is next? You can't say none because he'll break them all. I know, it's just his way. Pick wisely and hurry."

Sakura sat thinking about her choices. She had come to the hard realization that her love for this man died the instant he threatened her son. Hurt her all you want but leave the children alone. Her anger grew and grew the more she thought and it manifested itself as a chakra flare that was felt for miles. She slowly stood from her kneeling position and steeled herself, her chin raised in defiance. A sickening smirk crossed her face.

"Break the one bone that cannot be repaired and will never be used again, especially by me. After your wedding is over, I wish to speak to Ino and yourself, because my marriage to this shell of what a man should be, is over. I'm taking my children and leaving, so he cannot corrupt them with his Uchiha ideology. They will grow to be kind and humble, instead of self-serving and arrogant. RUIN HIS MANHOOD NARUTO! IF I NEVER ASK YOU FOR ANYTHING AGAIN, MAKE SURE THE UCHIHA CLAN OF THE PAST DIES WITH HIM!"

A slow smile crossed the face of Uzumaki Naruto and changed into an earsplitting grin. Turning that maniacal grin and mischievous eyes to Sasuke, who was whimpering on the ground, that devilish voice came out one last time.

"It seems the Uchiha clan you knew dies today Sasuke. I'll make sure your destructive seed can never soil this land again. You'll be alone till your end days, never loved and never wanted. I'll make sure of that. Now then, how best to remove you from the gene pool. Hmmm. Ah I know, it's perfect. You may want to bite onto something."

Naruto knelt down beside Sasuke and began to channel as much youki into his hand as he could. While not enough to kill, it was enough to irreversibly damage his reproductive organs beyone repair. His hand hovered just over Sasuke's crotch and red chakra poured from him into the traitor. Sasuke's screams were horrifying. To him it felt as if his innards were being melted and then reformed and then melted again. It was the closest thing to Tsukuyomi you could come to, except the pain was real. Satisfied that his rival was in immense pain, Naruto shuffled so that he could look the Uchiha in the eyes.

"I wouldn't ever suggest you trying to do anything to my family or my friends Sasuke, because Hokage or not, I will kill you. You are filth, you are scum, and you and Hatake deserve each other. The council deserves you. Konoha, however, does not deserve a coward, a thief, and a traitor to sit in its most honored of positions of power. I am a self appointed watcher of Konoha Uchiha. I will be watching your every move and if you slip up, I'll end your miserable existence and the lives of everyone who worships you. You no longer hold the power you did Sasuke. You threw it away years ago to pursue a stupid goal of revenge. You threw it all away and when you came back it was handed back to you on a silver platter. You don't know suffering Sasuke, but you will, oh you will. Now someone take this garbage to the hospital and away from my wedding."

Kakashi stepped forward and placing Sasuke on his shoulder, shunshined out of sight. Naruto stood upright and turned to find himself lip locked with his wife. Removing his lips from hers, he surveyed the crowd and found many waiting for answers. 'Well that's a better sight than what I thought it would be. Least no one's running around screaming 'Demon'. Suddenly the small voice of Hinata broke the silence.

"Um...Naruto-kun...um, why do you and Ino have fox ears and tails?"

Numerous agreements were called out and Naruto smiled at his friends and family. He was finally being accepted fully. He wouldn't tell them the whole truth yet, but they deserved to know a half lie at least.

"Well, all right. As you all know I hold the Kyuubi inside me. I've absorbed almost all of his power and it has given me...fox like features. Ino has them because she's my wife and mate, and one night, in a fit of passion, I bit her on the shoulder and she...uh, well she...ended up transforming as well. It seems I kinda transferred some youki into her system and it...changed her. But doesn't she look beautiful with a tail?"

Everyone had to agree that yes, she did look beautiful. Kiba, of course, had to ruin the moment with one of his astute observations.

"So you just gave her a demonic venereal disease? Gross, man! I thought you loved her."

"I do love her you freaking moron. And it's not VD. I bit her on her shoulder and gave her some of the Kyuubi's chakra. That's why she has that cool mark. I have the same one where she bit me. See? No biggie."

The ones that knew the truth marveled at his ability to lie straight faced to his friends, but figured it was for the best. Best to let them come to terms with it one change at a time instead of all at once. His lie told, Naruto placed his arm around Ino's waist and intertwined one of his tails with Ino's. They both looked at Sakura and came to a mental decision.

"Sakura, go get your children and pack up your things. You're moving into one of the guest houses on our estate. And tonight, we'll be having a talk before we leave for Suna. Now go on."

Sakura was at a loss as to what to say. Her former best friend and ex husband had just offered her hospitality when they had no cause to. She bowed and made her way home to gather up her belongings and children and leave that abomination she called a husband. Naruto and Ino turned to the now sated crowd and hollered out in unison.

"COME ON PEOPLE THE PARTY AIN'T OVER! LET'S DANCE!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

And dance they did, long into the night. By the time they got home, Naruto and Ino were tired as hell, and basically threw Hikaru into his room. The boy turned shotput nearly missed his bed but was plucked out of the air by Genmaki who growled at Naruto, who just waved his hand and offered a goodnight. He and Ino had other matters to attend to. Like talking to Sakura and her children and getting them settled into one of the guesthouses on the grounds. They walked into the living room where Sakura was sitting on the couch with her two children. She looked up to where they were and offered a small smile.

"Thank you both for taking us in and I'm sorry your wedding was ruined."

"What are you talking about? That was the best gift Naruto could ever give me. I'm just glad you've finally seen him for what he is. Do.... they know about your decision?"

"Yes. You couldn't really say Sasuke was much of a father beyond an occasional 'hn'. He never really acknowledged that they were his unless they messed up somehow. Then he'd punish them. Life with Sasuke...wasn't all that great, truth be told. I was just too much in love to see it."

"Well that's in the past now. Look toward the future and build a new life. Now then I believe there is a young boy that would like to see you in that room. Take your time and we'll look after these two. Oh, and watch out for Genmaki. He's not too fond of you. Don't make any threatening moves toward Hikaru. Let him come to you, don't go to him. Now then little ones, what are your names?"

The little boy smiled and spoke up.

"My name is Juugo and my sister's name is Karin."

Naruto raised an eyebrow and looked back at Sakura, who grinned sheepishly and shrugged.

"Wasn't my idea. He named both of them while I was knocked out in the hospital and signed the papers himself. I didn't want any reminders of his 'team' and told him so but I was told to shut my mouth and mind my own business."

"Jeez, Sakura, how did you put up with that for four years?"

"Sigh...very unhappily I can assure you. My only ray of sunshine was these two. Well I have a certain pinky blonde to get reacquainted with. If you hear screams it's because he attacked me."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sakura peeked her head in the door and was met with flashing yellow eyes and a low growl. A shout from Naruto for Genmaki to behave quieted him down and she entered with caution. Grabbing the chair from Hikaru's desk she politely asked Genmaki to wake him. The deed done, the small boy sat up and rubbed his eyes, taking in the visage of his guest. Once he realized who it was, his eyes narrowed and his voice turned icy.

"Hello Mrs. Uchiha. To what do I owe the honor of your presence?"

Sakura was taken aback by this. Naruto had really drilled manners into her son's head but he sounded so cold. Thinking back to how she had just walked out on them, she felt really miserable and his glare wasn't helping. She sighed and looked down, her hair shielding her eyes as the tears began to fall.

"I'm sorry."

"Excuse me?"

"I'm sorry Hikaru. I'm sorry for leaving you, I'm sorry for being a bad mother, I'm sorry for not being here while you grew up, I'm sorry for everything. I wish I could take it all back but I can't. I know you must hate me and I accept that but I want to try to be a mother to you again. I know you heard me at the wedding Hikaru, what I said about my soon to be ex husband. Heh, I'm a failure at everything. I've deprived three children of a parent and I'm a failure at love. I had love when I was with you and your father and I gave it up for a stupid idea that I loved Sasuke. I'm...I'm sorry...Hikaru..."

She could barely squeak out those words before the tears and sobs tore her apart. She sat in the chair and Hikaru watched as the sobs wracked her body. He turned to Genmaki for guidance at a loss as to what to do. Genmaki sighed and took a whiff of the air.

"Her tears are genuine Hikaru. If you took the time to train your senses like I asked you to you would know this. Despite my misgivings I believe you should reconcile with your mother. I'll be in the other room while you two talk. And as for you, Sakura, don't deceive the boy. I'll know if you hurt him."

Sakura nodded dumbly as the fox turned the knob with his tail and walked out, shutting the door behind him. Her eyes widened when she felt a pair of arms around her waist and a weight on her chest. She turned her gaze downward and was met with a shock of blonde and pink, the owner of which was a sobbing little boy.

"Momma, I missed you so much...don't leave me alone again momma."

Sakura smiled and tears of happiness flowed anew. Everything would be all right. In due time, everything would be all right and she'd have happiness again, with a complete family.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It seemed they had been in there for hours in that room, crying, relearning everything about each other. Finally crying themselves out they decided to rejoin the rest of the party. Opening the door to the hall they walked to the living room and began to giggle at the sight. Sitting on the floor propped up against the couch was Naruto with his head down, Ino with her head in his lap, Genmaki curled up behind him on the couch, and Juugo and Karin curled up beside Ino. What really made Sakura's day was the fact that both Naruto and Ino were in their demon forms and had their tails wrapped around her children like blankets. They looked so warm and comfortable she couldn't help but smile. Unfortunately before she could feel of Ino's tail, Naruto and Ino both woke at the same time, rousing the children. Karin yawned and looked at Sakura.

"Look mommy, her tail is so fluffy and warm. Can I get a tail like that?"

"No dear, I'm sorry you can't have a tail like that. Ino and Naruto are special and they're the only ones in the world who have tails."

The two small children's eyes bugged out when they heard Naruto's name and they turned to him in awe.

"Naruto? So you're the dobe mommy told us about?"

A tick mark formed above his eye and he glared at Sakura who had the good grace to look embarrassed.

"Um...Sasuke always used to call you dobe when he talked about you and he told them one day that only dobes eat ramen. I convinced them to go to Ichiraku's with me and told them the story of a certain dobe I used to know and how special he was. I'm sorry if they offended you."

"No not at all. Listen little ones, you shouldn't say things like that about other people. Its mean and not very nice. Understand?"

They both nodded and then turned their attention to Hikaru who was still standing by his mother. Karin stood up and wobbled over to where he was and walked around him in a circle. She crooked her finger to get him to bend down and when he did she stroked his cheeks, causing him to purr. She giggled at this and proceeded to tug his pink ends making him yelp. He stood upright again and glared at the now laughing toddler.

"Heehee, you're funny. Your whiskers are funny too and why do you have pink and blonde hair?"

Sakura bent down and got eye level with all three of her children. Motioning for Juugo to join them, she squatted down behind the two brunettes and pointed at Hikaru.

"Juugo, Karin, this is Hikaru, your big brother. He's the son of Naruto and me, when I was married to him a long time ago."

"So he has a tail too?"

"No dear he doesn't have a tail and he never will. Now why don't you all go play and get to know each other? You're siblings after all?"

Hikaru was in awe of this and let out a cry of joy.

"All right! I have a brother and sister. Come on you two let's go play in my room. Genmaki! Come on."

Not knowing who Genmaki was (he had snuck into the room while they were all asleep) Juugo and Karin turned to see the small fox walking toward them. Their eyes went wide and Karin immediately glomped him and picked him up. Genmaki was drug unwillingly back to Hikaru's room, mumbling the whole way about 'troublesome kids' and 'I'm not a damn babysitter', while his king and queen laughed at him. Eventually they settled down and Sakura dropped the bombshell.

"All right I want to know everything. So you two spill."

Naruto and Ino sighed and Ino went to make some tea. It was going to be a long night and they were both getting tired of telling the story.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The next day saw them all in the Hokage's office where she graciously signed Sakura's divorce papers and put a restraining order on the Uchiha, barring him from approaching Sakura or her children (or any children for that matter) within a hundred feet. She scooped up Hikaru and gave him a kiss and said she would bring him over to play with Juugo and Karin every day. The rest of the day was spent preparing Naruto and Ino for their honeymoon and getting Sakura settled into her guest house (which was huge for just three people). Gaara and his family met them at the gates that evening and they began the march to Suna. Kaoru wanted to play with Naruto's tails, which kept swatting her hand away, sending her into giggle fits. Gaara raised an eyebrow at the display but decided to just ask the important questions when they were within the confines of his office. Matsuri admired Ino's tails and ears and secretly wished Gaara had struck a deal with his demon, but then realized that he would more than likely have gone totally insane and killed everyone. Sure crazy people have the best sex, but when you have to worry about dying during it, it takes all the fun out. Upon reaching Suna, Ino and Naruto struck out for one of the oases that had a high fence around it to keep out peeping toms, and a small shack for lovebirds.

Putting all their things away, Naruto dashed back into town to get dinner leaving Ino to her own devices. After he left she got a devilish grin on her face and quickly changed into the most provocative lingerie she had, a see through blood red nightie with matching thong. She lit candles and incense and then laid back on the bed to await her husband's arrival. It didn't take long and she heard him put the take out on the table and start looking for her. Smelling smoke coming from the bedroom, he opened the door wide and was instantly hit in the nose with her scent. Putting on the most alluring look she had she offered him two words.

"Drop them."

"W..what?"

The biggest shit-eating grin she'd ever had played out over her face and Naruto knew he was screwed (in a good way).

"Your pants. Drop them."
