Future Walker(Fem Naruto x Harem)

"Flirting with your sensei, making the Uchiha jealous...which one do you much favor?" Kurama cackled at the back of her mind. Naruko growled "QUIET!" She hissed in her mind. "A-and I have no idea what you're talking about! I wasn't flirting with Kakashi, and I wasn't trying to make Sasuke jealous or anything, you're assuming things"

It was almost dinner time but Naruko had excused herself to take a walk in the forest, when Kakashi looked like he wanted to object she sent him a puppy dog stare and he just said "don't be long"

"Are you THAT oblivious to what you're doing? Didn't you see the way that sensei of yours was holding himself back from doing anything inappropriate with you in such close proximity to him? I have to admit...it was quite entertaining"

Kakashi couldn't possibly...could he?

Naruko found herself giggling at the thought

"The Uchiha walked out because he was jealous of the brat, Inari. He wanted your attention, I suppose he will be taking advantage of his status as your 'brother' now, to become much closer to you"

"Oh that one I noticed" Naruko agrees

She stopped walking when she reached a clearing. Looking up she noticed a lone crow resting on a low branch, its beady eyes staring at her. She smiled and tilted her head

"Itachi-nii" she mouthed. "I'm not really sure on how this works, but I have an urgent message for you. We need to talk Itachi-nii, it's about Sasuke, and his future" she swayed gently "Again, I'm not sure how this works, for all I know I'm just conversing with a normal crow, but the way this bird is staring at me says otherwise, It's so focused. Well, I'll see you soon"

Turning on her heel she left and headed back, humming to herself

The crow's focus never left her back

The next day Kakashi gave Naruko and Sasuke a new task

"We'll be guarding you the whole day Tazuna-san! If anyone tries to mess with you they'll have to deal with us first" Naruko said brightly, pulling Sasuke against her

"Where's the other kid? Little girl with pink hair, has bad manners" Tazuna asked. "She's practicing running on walls" Naruko supplied. Tazuna raised a brow "What about you two?"

"We're exceptional. Kakashi-sensei wouldn't have assigned us to you if he didn't think we can handle it" Naruko continues.

"Well alright then" The three walked into town, and was immediately approached by a worker. Naruko pretended not to be paying attention but was actually listening, she felt sorry for the man for wanting to quit his job building the bridge in fear for his life, and felt even more sorry for Tazuna. He looked so desperate and tired

She placed a comforting hand against his elbow, and offered him a gentle smile

The old man gave her a tired smile back

"So uh, where are we going?" Sasuke, who had been silent the whole time, asked.

"We'll just, look at the bridge, then buy some ingredients for dinner later" Tazuna responded.

"Let's go then" Naruko said

While walking Naruko took in her surroundings and noticed that the streets were full of filthy children who looked starved, the adults weren't fairing any better

"Naruko, stick close to me" Sasuke whispered, protectively holding her forearm. He glared at anyone who looked at Naruko, not liking the way they eyed her. The street kids looked at her dreamily, which he supposed was fine, but some adult males leered at her. "Perverts!" He angrily yelled in his head, wishing to violently gauge out the men's eyes
