"Oh shut the fuck up you damn pussy," Naruto shouted in annoyance. "You're a shinobi aren't you? You deal with death every fucking day! You son, you need to grow a pair if you're afraid of a little thing like death." Naruto began rolling his shoulders, listening to them crack, "Kami, I'm so fucking tired. If I don't make Chunin from this I'm just gonna say screw it. I need a vacation…"
Gaara looked at the blond who had basically just trounced him, and was now acting as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened, "How? How are you so strong? I always fight only for myself, yet you beat me. What makes you so strong?"
Naruto rolled his eyes, "That's easy. I'm strong because I don't fight for myself. I only fight to protect my precious people, my friends and those I've begun to consider family."
Gaara looked confused, "But I…don't understand. Why would you fight for anyone other than yourself?"
Naruto sighed, "Because they saved me from myself. You and I are a lot alike, you know that? Hated for something we had no control over, for something that was done to us by others. I remember the glares, the hatred, and the isolation I suffered because of my burden. However unlike you, I worked hard and eventually gained friends, people who accepted me, who saved me." Naruto glared at Gaara, "And if you ever try to hurt my precious people or my village again, not even Kami will protect you from my wrath."
Naruto shifted his attention when Gaara's two siblings jumped down from the clearing and got into fighting stances. The blond just shook his head, "You really don't want to be doing that. I'm tired, I'm pissed, I've got sand in places I really don't want to think about and I just beat the piss out of the guy who scares the piss out of you two. Mess with me, and I'll give both of you a beating that your ancestors will feel."
The two Suna siblings glared at the blond who had dismissed them so easily.
However, the blond noticed this and merely gave the two a grin, "Now then, we're all going to go back to Konoha proper, and I'm gonna take you two into custody. And by me, I mean we, and by we, I actually mean her."
Naruto pointed behind the pair, who could do nothing as they felt the butt end of a kunai hit the back of their necks, knocking them unconscious.
"Yo Yugi-chan!" Naruto grinned as he made three Kage Bunshins to carry the sand siblings, "Come to congratulate me on my awesome fight?"
Yugito shook her head and smiled, "That had to be the craziest and most reckless attack I have ever seen in my life."
"At least it will give your grandkids something to talk about for years to come. I have a feeling this battle is gonna be something they put down in the history books." The blond Konoha ninja tried to move only to fall flat on his face, "What the hell!"
'Looks like those three Kage Bunshin you made used up nearly all of your youki,' Kyuubi informed him, 'you've only got enough to keep you conscious.'
'Goddamn it that sucks!' Naruto complained, 'I just got finished kicking ass and this totally killed my awesome factor!'
'Perhaps you should learn to converse your youki more,' Kyuubi suggested as she snickered at her container's plight. Sometimes it was the little things that could make her smile.
'Shut up…' Naruto grumbled before he felt himself being lifted off the ground. Looking to his left he saw Yugito with his arm over her shoulder, and her arm wrapped around his waist. He gave his fellow Jinchuuriki a smile, "Thanks Yugi-chan."
Yugito looked at Naruto and smiled back, "You're welcome," she paused before giving him a grin, "though I hope you don't expect me to carry you around after every battle you have."
Naruto smirked, "Are you saying you don't like being this close to me Yugi-chan? You seemed to be pretty content feeling me up the last time we were doing this," When he saw her blush Naruto added a point for himself. Deciding to take it a step further he added, "Not to mention you pinched my ass, I still have to get you back for that you know."
Having gotten herself under control Yugito looked at him with a smirk of her own, "Oh well then be my guest."
She bumped her hip into his, "It's right here waiting for you after all." She gave him a grin, "Of course since you can't move that's kind of a moot point isn't it?"
Naruto gave her a mock glare, "Once I recover I'm seriously going to make you regret making fun of me Yugi-chan."
"Aww, don't be like that Naruto-kun," the blond woman purred, "You know I love you."
"You sure don't act like it with how mean you're being," Naruto sniffed, "Meanie."
The two continued their game of words as Yugito led/carried Naruto back into Konoha.
Little did the blond shinobi know that tragedy was waiting for him after the battle.
(Several Days later…)
Two figures stood atop a small hill overlooking Konoha, both of them were wearing black cloaks with red clouds and straw hats on their heads.
"You know, for having come out of a war, they seem to be doing pretty good." The much taller figure said, "Are you feeling nostalgic being back in your home village?"
The shorter figure looked up, revealing a pair of red eyes with three tomoe in each, "No."
And there you have it
