Chapter 23: Cat in the Leaf

On the road back to the Kumo were two figures walking. Actually, only one of the two was walking. The other was being carried piggyback style by the former. Yugito sat comfortably on Naruto's back as they traveled slowly back to her home village. Two of the most powerful ninjas in the world at the moment yet they were posed with an interesting predicament, brought on by a few choice words.

"We need to talk..." said Naruto in a serious tone with an equally as serious face. Yugito's laughter died down from a previous joke at the seriousness.

"I thought we were talking?" questioned Yugito curiously as Naruto's stone face never changed.

"That's not what I mean. What I meant was that something just doesn't feel right. Right about us," said Naruto as Yugito began to worry slightly.

"Is this what I think it is? Did I do something wrong?" questioned Yugito internally. "He just told me he loved me..."

"Kitten, before he can do it, just ravish him immediately. That'll get him out of this mood he's in," said Yugito's partner, Matatabi. Yugito was too into the conversation with Naruto to even acknowledge her partner's indecent suggestion.

"What's going on Naruto-kun?"

Naruto blew out a sigh before answering. "We've been dating for over 16 months and, you've never once, made me a sandwich."

A few seconds passed by before Yugito decided to answer. "I'm going to make that sandwich and then choke you with it for scaring me like that," said Yugito with a small pout as Naruto began to laugh. "That's so not funny"

Naruto stifled down his laughter. "I'm sorry Yugi-chan, it was terrible. But we're almost at the gate," said Naruto as Yugito nodded her head.

"I know. I know. But don't worry, I'll get you back for that later," said Yugito as Naruto let the pretty Jinchuriki down off of his back. "You going to make it in okay?"

"Of course I am. When have I not? This will be too easy," said Naruto with a grin before feeling a massive presence approaching Yugito and himself at a rapid pace. Too fast for him to hide. "Or maybe not."

Not a second later, a large figure came crashing down in front of Naruto and Yugito clad in a cloak of lighting. Standing in that cloak of lightning with a golden belt on and Kage attire was Kumogakure's Yondaime Raikage. And he wasn't looking too pleased.

"Ra-Raikage-sama..." stammered out Yugito in surprise.

"Save it Yugito," said Ay as several other Kumogakure ninjas landed behind the hulking kage. "Are you hurt? And what is he doing here? He does know this is Kumo Territory correct?"

As Yugito was explaining herself to her Kage, Naruto stood looking at the several shinobi behind the hulking kage. "Hmm, that's Darui, Shee, Samui, Karui, and Omoi. Three Jonins and two chunins. Combined with a Kage, I wonder what they're here for? Can't be me, I just got here. " thought Naruto before being cut out of his thoughts by an angry shout.

"I'm going to kill that Akatsuki bastard!" shouted the redhead with golden eyes, Karui, as she took the sword off her back and charged head-on at Naruto. She let down an overhead slash as Naruto backpedaled to dodge. Karui wasn't done there as she continued her assault on Naruto.
