The Prodigy Namikaze by SoulReaperCrewe

Chapter 18: On My Way

Naruto woke up and his eyes flickered as his gaze looked over towards the window in his room, getting a good look of the sky and the few clouds that hovered along it.

Turning over he then look up at the ceiling for a moment before he felt a familiar feeling between his legs. He looked down and groaned again when he saw his manly part was erected and making a sizable tent form from his covers.

It had been that way ever since he last met the Iwa girl Kurotsuchi. He blamed that quick kiss she gave him because since then he had not been able to get her out of his head. Every time he thought of her he could still taste the cinnamon from her lips and as well as feel how soft her lips were.

'What are these feeling towards her? I don't understand them.' He thought since just the thought of her and her light pink eyes made his stomach do a few flips and his heart flutter.

"Could I…could I have feelings for her?" He wondered since it sounded so stupid if he did. He had only properly met her twice and one of those times she was trying to kick his ass.

He did not dare speak to anyone about this. If someone he knew discovered he was developing potential feelings for a girl from Iwa, the granddaughter of Tsuchikage no less, it would bring trouble and he knew it would cause even more problems between him and his family.

His friends might accept it but he dreaded what his parents would have thought about it. Especially considering how Iwa thinks of his father.

Sighing and getting out of bed, he took a quick shower and dressed in some comfy civilian clothes since he had the next few days off.

At fifteen Naruto was now five foot eight and was now taller than his mother and the same height as Tsunade. His hair was kept short since if it got longer then he would just look like his father.

The main noticeable change was that now on Naruto's forehead was a purple diamond mark just like Tsunade has on her forehead.

Since the news of his battle got out with Raiga Kurosuki and that he was now in the Bingo Books as an A Ranked shinobi, Tsunade and others knew that Naruto would be targeted by bounty hunters, shinobi, and missing nin.

So Tsunade decided that to make sure he had a better chance of surviving an encounter with a potentially stronger opponent, she placed the Creation Rebirth seal on his forehead. That way Naruto could store chakra into that seal and if Naruto is injured to a point where he might die, then he could release it if stored enough chakra and heal all his wounds. Plus it helped that Naruto had some knowledge of medical jutsu thanks to his training with Tsunade.

Tsunade knew that the jutsu would shorten his lifespan as did Naruto if he ever used it but to her she would rather Naruto lose five years of his life then lose his life altogether. Kushina, Minato, Mikoto and Hiruzen all agreed as well and would give them some relief knowing he had the seal stored on him.

Wearing simple black shorts and a dark green shirt he walked out of his room and saw Anko and Itachi sitting around the table as Itachi ate his cereal while Anko was guzzling down a glass of orange juice.

"Morning sleepy head." Anko said as Naruto gave her a tired wave and Itachi a slight nod. The Uchiha boy just nodded back before going back to his breakfast.

"Busy I take it?" He asked as he put some toast in the toaster and waited for it to pop up. He saw Itachi dressed in his Anbu uniform while Anko was in her usual shinobi wear and was slipping her sandals on underneath the table as she drank.

"You know it, got three people to torture today. Oh the blood and the screaming. It just tickles me." She said as she mock shivered.

"You know you're never going to get a boyfriend if you keep scaring people like that." Itachi muttered but felt a swift foot kick him in the shin. Though it hurt he did not show it and instead just raised an eyebrow at Anko who was smiling happily at him.
