Chapter Notation: I took some liberties with Kisame's reasons for joining the Akatsuki. That may or may not be cannon. As for the views expressed about ninja marriages, I made those up. They may or may not be accurate, but I feel that it makes the plot flow a bit more smoothly.

Chapter 15

It didn't take long for Suki and Naruto to head towards the Valley of the End. It was a disturbingly easy matter to knock out the ANBU ninjas. Suki was still amazed at how easily Naruto had dealt with the ANBUS, really.

Luckily for the ANBUS, Naruto was still Naruto. If given the choice, her blonde wouldn't kill. Her Mate had merely knocked them out and Suki was more than happy with that result.

"You're happy that I knocked them out?" Naruto asks in a surprise.

"Of course, I am. It's easier than having them tail us and trying to lose them later on. That and in a weird way, it's kinda hot." Suki informs him.

Naruto blinks. He'd never understand Suki sometimes. She thought it was hot that he knocked out the ANBUS? Well whatever worked for her.

"She'd never admit this. The woman is too proud, but most Mates do enjoy knowing that their Mate will fight for them." Kurama tells him.

"Oh yeah. I'm definitely not going to tell her that you said that." Naruto replies.

"Uchiha women are complicated creatures. They're proud and stubborn. Most of them adore having a protective Mate, but they also have a strong desire for their Mate to recognize they are capable of fending for themselves. Still I would rather deal with an Uchiha woman than someone like Madara Uchiha. I despised him." The Nine Tails finishes with a snarl.

Naruto pauses as he considers that. Well that didn't sound like Suki. Still that did raise a lot of interesting questions. Just how well had Kurama known the Uchihas before the Massacre?

He had known for awhile that Madara had once controlled Kurama. The furball was still rather sore about that. Naruto also knew that Kurama wasn't exactly that fond of Suki's ancestor, but what about the other Uchihas?

"You're really weird sometimes." Naruto says as they wait at the Valley of the End.

"Well I never claimed to be normal and that's rich coming from the guy with the ramen fetish." Suki taunts him as her eyes scan their surroundings.

"Hey! Ramen is amazing. I'm serious, Suki. One day, you'll learn to appreciate the awesomeness that is ramen." He insists.

Suki playfully rolls her eyes in response. She knew what Naruto was doing and she appreciated it. Her Mate was trying to distract her from the millions of possibilities that were racing through her head.

If what Sai had said was true, that meant that Itachi wasn't solely responsible for the death of their clansmen and women. The Leaf had ordered nothing short of a genocide. That was a war crime.
