Musical Hands(Kakashi x Fem Naruto)

one

Kakashi's ears perked up with glee as Gai patted his shoulder. "It seems your muse has returned, My Rival."

Kakashi swatted his hand away and scoffed. "It's not my muse, Gai. I just enjoy the music, just as you, Kurenai and Asuma." Only to get an eye roll from the genjutsu mistress. All four enjoying the peaceful melody that wafted through the night's crisp air. "What?" Kakashi questioned as he arched a silver brow.

"If I remember correctly, you became momentarily depressed when the music stopped playing three years ago." Kurenai answered with a smug smile. "Aren't you the least bit curious as to who the musician is? If I was in love with the player, then I would want to know."

"I'm not in love." Kakashi tried to defend himself, yet it fell on deaf ears.

"Denials a bitch, isn't it, Kakashi?" Asuma commented with a puff of his smoke. "I don't know about you, but I'm going to go see who it is. Who knows? It might be either a guy or girl." The man started leaping towards the heartfelt melody.

Gai stood taller and voiced. "This melody is more youthful than before. I wonder what has changed." He dashed after Asuma.

Kakashi called out. "Oi...we're supposed to be on duty!" His call being once more falling on deaf ears as Kurenai went after the duo. Listening to the music as he soothed his drumming and regretful heart, the serenity and clarity each note hit soothed his muscles and sped up his racing heart. "Something's different..." curiosity getting the better of him and followed after his childhood friends.

The four jonin were surprised as they treaded deep within Konoha's forest, seeing small speakers hidden throughout the plains. Following closely till they came to an unknown clearing, none had been, seen or heard of before. Standing in awe at the vast pristine lake that was illuminated under the full lunar moon. A long oak pier with a wooden pavilion sitting in the middle of the lake. A black grand piano playing host to a swaying, beautiful blonde woman. Her straight flowing hair reaching the middle of her back, wearing a loose-fitted white dress and sandals. Not taking notice of the jonin that walked down the pier as she was smiling softly with her eyes closed. Letting her fingers glide elegantly over the black and white keys.

Up close, the jonin noticed her sun-kissed skin, a lithe frame and generous bust. Almost like the Hyuga heiress. Watching as her fingers slowed to an end, unconsciously all four of them clapped for the girl. Making her eyes snap open to reveal the most stunning sapphire blues, that looked to them in surprise.

"Uhh, umm..." the blonde tried to speak, but was cut off as Gai grabbed her hands and knelt before her. Startling the girl to the point of fright.

"You are truly a magnificent buttercup in the withered meadows! We have been listening to your youthful music for years, but you suddenly stopped..." his head bowed in defeat. "But hearing your melody once more has made my heart burn vigorously with the flames of youth!"

The blonde looked scared and almost on the verge of tears when Kurenai pulled Gai away and offered a smile reassuringly to the blonde pianist.

Thanking Kami that the blonde smiled back. Even if it was small, but the shock and suspicion was still clear in her orbs. "Sorry about Gai. He tends to be YOUTHFUL, it's great to hear you play again..." still not knowing of the blonde's name, seeing as the blonde didn't want to give out her name and said. "I'm Kurenai Yuhi." Holding a hand out in greeting with the pianist shaking it politely.

"Asuma Sarutobi." The smoking jonin supplied with a nod, watching as the blonde stood up and bowed respectfully as she finally deemed them as safe...for now.

"So you are Hiruzen-Ji-san's second son." Shocking the occupants. "He has told me many things about his family..." gesturing to the piano. "He built me this sanctuary when I was all but 9 years old. Your father was a kind and caring man. Even if you don't believe so. But you must excuse me. My grandfather will worry if I don't return home soon." Bowing once more and walked through the jonin with feline grace. Looking over slightly as she spotted a masked-nin.

"Kakashi Hatake." Was all he supplied and she nodded. Leaving them to be as she disappeared into the forest.

The blonde kept walking till she could no longer feel their eyes on her back and dashed out into a sprint. Running as if her life depended on it all the way to the Hokage's tower, running past the flustered Shizune and straight through the office door. Not bothering to knock as she startled the Hokage and Gama-Sannin.

Eyes wide and frantic as she slammed the door close, her arms wailing about. "They SAW me! The team leaders saw me! What am I going to do, Baa-chan, Ero-Sennin?! They said that they've been listening to me play for years!" panting harshly as the Gamma-Sannin pulled her into a comforting embrace. Rubbing her back calmly as he tried to calm her down from having a panic attack.

Tsunade pinched the bridge of her nose and replied. "I warned you, but it must be a sign that it's time for you to no longer hide Naru..." smirking behind her laced hands.

Nobody knew except a handful that Naruto was truly a splendid Kunoichi. Not the dead-last dobe everyone knew of, Naruto if SHE wanted to could be on par with Konoha's elites. Hiding her true gender and skills in fear because of Danzo and the civilian council. The real Naruto had no whisker marks and was a true beauty just like her mother. A bit shyer and more polite than her persona would portray, but still stubborn when she had to be...well if she wasn't easily startled by other people.

Jiraiya gave a pointed look at Tsunade. "Stop teasing her, Hime." Pulling back and looking into Naruto's eyes as he advised. "Well...we can't really do anything, Naruto. The seal Sarutobi-sensei placed on you completely deteriorated last night and keeping up a henge would do no good. You'll constantly have to have your guard up."

There was fear in her eyes. "B-but...I...c-council and D-Danzo...a-and e-e-everyone will k-know..." Shutting her mouth up as she sounded like Hinata in their genin days and clutched the material of her dress by her heart. Her hands were trembling slightly as multiple scenarios ran through her head.

"Don't worry, Gaki. Leave it to me." Tsunade smirked as she calmly watched Jiraiya try and sooth Naruto.

He was always babying Naruto whenever she wasn't hiding behind her male persona ever since a certain incident. "Then you can be the beautiful woman you are for the rest of your life." Tsunade knew it was time to stop hiding Naruto and she hoped Jiraiya would allow Naruto to grow into the woman she was meant to be...and also a little something else Tsunade has always wanted from the younger blonde she saw as her own daughter.

Naruto and Jiraiya's spine shivered in fear as they held onto each other. The later saying to the Godaime. "Oh hell no, Tsunade! You are not going to marry off my baby-girl!"

Tsunade waved a hand at the two dismissively. "Oh calm down you two. I never mentioned to marry Naruto off just like that." There was a confident gleam in her eyes. "But I won't oppose to having some grandbabies running around Konoha."

Jiraiya paled as he covered Naruto's ears and hissed at Tsunade. "Over. My. Dead. Body!"

Disappearing with Naruto in tow. Naruto would always be his baby girl first and tough killer Kunoichi second.

Tsunade sighed. "This is going to take a while."
