Naruto, The Silent Fox

Chapter 16.

The group of 11 enter the tower. Soft and low conversations could still be heard. Kimimaro could feel the increasing worry of this village forcing Naruto back into the village. He cannot be separated from his mate. Naruto was coming upon a heat soon and they already started thinking of names. They opened the door and when Naruto looked up he smiled.

"Bacchan, you still look as young as you did when I was ten." Naruto said softly and Tsunade smiled.

"How are you?" Naruto walked to sit on the desk and ran a hand through his hair.

"I'm alright, living. I see you stopped gambling." Tsuande chuckled heartily.

"I haven't, me and Jiraiya have a waging bet right now that I'm winning." Naruto nodded.

"He and Orochimaru have been rekindling that lost spark." Orochimaru cleared his throat and Naruto and Tsunade shared a laugh.

"Naruto How is it that you know everyone?" Sakura asked and Naruto smiled.

"Bacchan trained me in Medical Ninjustu when I was ten years old. I took quite the liken to her, I actually cried when I left her." Naruto spoke and Sasuke clicked his teeth.

"You didn't cry when you left us." Naruto chuckled and Kimimaro smiled.

"He did cry, when we reached the forrest he cried in my chest, stating that he loved you all so much." Kimimaro Said and Naruto rolled his eyes.

"I told you that in confidence Kimimaro." Naruto Said but he still held a small smile.

"Gaki, want to introduce me to the white haired male?" Tsunade said and Naruto held out his hand and Kimimaro walked over.

"This is my husband to be Kimimaro Kaguya, also the reason for my banishment." Kimimaro bowed to the woman and Tsunade smiled.

"So hopes for having you come back is slim to none." Naruto nodded and Jiraiya came out the room with ink on his face.

"You owe me $30 dollars." Jiraiya exclaimed and Tsunade shrugged.

"Yeah and you owe me $50. The Gaki says you and Orochimaru got back together." Jiraiya sighed and Naruto chuckled as he saw the small blush on Orochimaru's face.

"Can I stay for a few days? Me and Kimimaro have to hang out with my favorite human children." Naruto spoke to Orochimaru and he nodded.

"I'll be staying as well, Jiraiya will house me." Tsunade giggled and stood up.

"Since us three are back together, let's go bet on something stupid while drinking sake. Like old times." Orochimaru nodded.

"I'm prepared to out drink you Tsunade." Jiraiya exclaimed and Orochimaru shook his head but then smiled.

Because drunk sex with Jiraiya was the best thing the snake charmer has ever received.

"Let's head to the ramen stand." Choji spoke and they all nodded walking towards the stands.

Naruto noticed that the looks were nothing of malice but guilty looks. He didn't know what exactly happened but couldn't find it in himself to care. He was happy now, not that he wasn't happy before but he was complete. He had his mate, his human friends and those human grandparents. He was happy and very content in life, next thing on his list was to marry the love of his life and have his children.

"Naruto pay attention." Ino said and Naruto turned to smile at her. His head rested on the shoulder of Kimimaro as Naruto had his hands in his lap.

"I'm sorry, tell me this again." Ino nodded.

"I want you to be my maid of honor." Naruto smiled.
