NARUTO:The sealed shinobi.-Chapter 144: CH

"Why?" Shikamaru asked. It was strange that Kakashi would flinch like that at the thought of him losing Naruto. Naruto was strong, very strong, but he was just a chunin. Kakashi was a jounin of perhaps the highest feasible caliber with the most vaunted doujutsu kekkei genkai in Konoha's history.

For Naruto to say something like that and for Kakashi to actually make a motion that supported his words was something that registered looking into, but he wasn't going to be getting anything from Naruto since the boy wasn't very vocal on a lot of the things he was doing professionally these days. Hell, these days no one other than the Hokage herself even knew how to find him other than leaving him messages at home for the longest time until it was discovered that he trained by tearing the Forest of Death asunder.

Naruto leveled his gaze coolly at Shikamaru, "You really don't want to know that right now Shikamaru, I can guarantee that you would find it troublesome to say the very least."

Tayuya scoffed, "Well fine then Mr. Secret. At least tell us where you got her." She said, pointing at Hamako, "Why did you bring her here? Does she live around here or something?"

Naruto looked at Hamako who nodded, "Well, no. I found here while I was off doing what it was that Kakashi let me leave to go do." He gave a meaningful look to Kakashi, "I found her, she was the only one left Kakashi-sensei and if not for my certain bad luck with a few red clouds I wouldn't have even found her, or anything, so that's a good thing at least." He locked his eyes with Tayuya, "And she's coming back to Konoha. With me." He said in a low growl, as if daring anyone to even attempt to call him on it.

Kakashi nodded, "Of course Naruto, but how are you going to support yourself and her on a chunin's regular salary for missions?"

Naruto smirked, "You wouldn't happen to have a copy of the bingo book on you would you?" Kakashi nodded and passed it to Naruto who had his eyes widen to a comical margin when he found what he was looking for, "Yeah... I'm absolutely sure that I can support myself and Hamako-chan on my current wages. Don't worry about that."

"Why?" Kakashi asked. He knew that Naruto was well aware of what it took to feed himself and keep himself comfortable, now he had to multiply that by at least two now.

Naruto passed the book back to Kakashi, "You'll find out that later too." He looked at his commander, "So when do you think we'll be heading back to Konoha, since I'm positive that I've pretty much missed the entire mission in Kiri."

Kakashi placed the book back into one of his vest pockets, "Well since you're back to full, or as full as you need to be, health we can head back today if you want."

Naruto nodded, "That sounds alright. I need to go get Hamako-chan some clothes first, because she cannot keep wearing my clothes up and down the road." 'No matter how good she makes them look.' He added mentally.

Tayuya stared at Naruto and spoke far too calmly for his tastes, "And why on earth would she be needing to wear your clothes in the first place?"

Before Naruto could think of a brilliant and believable way out of this situation, Hamako chose to answer, "Because when master found me I had no clothing of my own."

Naruto's eyes bulged in horror as he saw the calm expression on Tayuya's face as an ill omen. It didn't help that he could see tick marks starting to form. Looking at Shikamaru he was trying to avert his gaze from Hamako, who was still wearing Naruto's much too tight shirt. Kakashi simply gave Naruto a thumbs up complete with an eye-smile, "You work fast Naruto."

Naruto simply turned and looked at Hamako before grabbing her and disappearing in a shunshin behind Inari, snatching him up also, "Well it looks like Inari needs to help me find somewhere to get stuff for Hamako-chan! Later you guys!" He then vanished in another shunshin, leaving all of the others sitting there in silence.

Tazuna, who had stumbled downstairs sometime during Naruto's explanation looked at everyone else in confusion, "Why is everyone just sitting there?"

Kakashi shrugged and pulled out his Icha-Icha, "He's already going to tell me everything I want to know later. I'm good as far as that's concerned." He felt the glare of Tsunami on him and sighed, "Inari's not here right now, can I at least read it until Naruto brings him back?"

Shikamaru stood up and walked off, "Chasing him now would be too much work to deal with. I'll worry about things later." He headed out the front door, "I'll be on the roof getting some sleep."

All eyes panned over to Tayuya who still had her uncharacteristically calm face on, getting even Kakashi to look at her in concern. She simply stood up and walked upstairs, "There's no reason for me to try chasing him now just to yell at him when I live right next door to him in the first place. I've already waited a week, I'm sure I can wait another day or two to tear him apart. And the more time that passes until then, the more ammunition he's building up for me."

(Two Days Later – Konohagakure no Sato)

The group had set out from Nami no Kuni and moved at an incredibly brisk pace even by shinobi standards to reach Konoha, mostly because they were being headed by a jounin in Kakashi and the everlasting stamina lunatic that answered to the name of Naruto. Naruto carried Hamako the entire way due to the fact that she wasn't nearly as fast as the rest of them were, with her not being a ninja and all, and was still cutting a pace that kept him in step with Kakashi. Speaking of Hamako, Naruto had enlisted the services of Inari to find a suitable clothing store for his new female attachment. She still had her hair up in her twin pig-tails that went down her back past her shoulders with the bangs that shaded part of her eyes from clear view, but she now wore tight black shorts that came to her thigh, a white, long-sleeved kimono top that stopped at her waistline, the belt of which was white as well, and a white pair of high-heeled sandals. The kimono top had light blue ornate designs of waves all over it. Naruto had instructed her to pick out whatever she liked, as he assured her that he would have absolutely no problem footing the bill... he then rubbed his hands together and chuckled conspiratorially, making Inari back away slightly.
