Two months

Sakura and Ino were waiting outside the club for the others. The overly loud distorted 'thoomp thoomp' of the club music easily reaching their ears.

Ino had settled for a simple purple crop top and shorts so short they really couldn't be called shorts at all, showing of plenty of leg and more than a little of her ass.

Sakura had found a lovely knee length red dress with short sleeves and a split down each side that reached up to her hip, covering everything important while still showing off plenty.

As they waited Sakura and Ino kept a sharp eye out for their other friends, hoping they'd arrive soon. It didn't do we'll for two young women stay in one place for too long around these parts.

They had been waiting for all of five minutes when Ino spotted the spiky haired blond walking towards them. At first glance the two were grateful, the Naruto they remembered had had an annoying habit of wearing bright orange, and while the blond still had his trademark colour in small tasteful stripes down his shoulders, sleeves and sides, his shirt was a simple black one.

Initially the two felt relieved that they would have to be walking around with someone wearing so much orange.

Relief that was immediately dashed when the two women saw that the boy was wearing lose fitting, bright orange, cargo pants with two black stripes down each leg.

"Yo," Naruto said as he walked closer.

"Hey," The two women replied. They smiled as he came closer and each of them gave him a brief hug.

An action which put the young blond a little off guard, aside from his mother and the occasional moments with his pseudo-grandmother Tsunade Naruto was rarely of the receiving end of feminine affection considering most of the women he had known he knew through the military.

He blushed slightly and shuffled his feet.

Sakura and Ino shared a glance and began laughing. An action which surprisingly did little to ease the blondes embarrassment.

Eventually they eased up on the teasing.

"Really? Orange?" Ino asked as she looked him over.

Naruto pulled a face that seemed slightly offended, "Hey, don't you be dissin' my orange now." Naruto said in a sort of gangster voice that made both women burst into laughter. It really didn't suite him.

Naruto gave the two of them a smirk and stood proudly. "Besides, you know no one can pull off orange like me."

The two of them had to give credit where credit was due; the man looked good in orange.

"Oh, by the way, I ran into Hinata earlier today and invited her and her sister, hope you don't mind." Naruto said.

Sakura and Ino shard a quick glance but shrugged. They were friends with Hinata during their school days and had been looking forward to seeing her again so this worked well for them.

"Sounds great," Sakura said happily. "I've wanted to organise something with her but I wasn't able to get a hold of her."

Ino looked at Naruto, "The one thing I don't understand is how you got Hinata of all people to come to a nightclub. Girl avoided them like them plague during school."

"It took some convincing," Naruto admitted. "But she came around after Hanabi added her two cents."

They both nodded and the two stood here for a moment.

"So-o," Naruto said at length. "What are you two doing with yourself these days?" He asked.

"Well," Ino began, "I just landed a Teaching job at the Academy," She said proudly. "Tonight was actually meant to celebrate that, but you managed to completely over shadow that," She said in a sarcastically wiry tone. Sakura and Naruto both smiled.

"Well I'm both happy for your success and sorry for over shadowing it." Naruto said.

Ino gave him a dismissive shrug. "Eh, not all that bad, I mean the Academy pays well and it is the best school in the city but honestly I think you coming home hale and healthy after five years in a war zone is a bigger event."

Naruto smiled to show his thanks. "It's good to be back." He admitted. "Though a bit odd."

Ino and Sakura gave him a curious look. "What do you mean 'odd'?" Sakura asked him.

"We'll..." Naruto began, scratching his head trying to think of how to explain it. "I've spent the last five years in the ridged discipline of the army, up at 6:00 am, on the parade grounds by 6:30 on duty by 6:45. Every day I had something important to do or I was out on recon work in the field. The idea of actually having time to myself is rather daunting really."

There was a long silence as Naruto silently cursed his social inability, a silence that was gratefully interrupted by the arrival of Hanabi and Hinata.

Hanabi had of course chosen her red cocktail dress and a pair of matching heals and what Naruto considered a 'generous' amount of make-up, eye shadow, blush, eyeliner, lipstick, the whole nine yards.

Being from a wealthy family it was unsurprising that they both rocked up in a rather flashy - and obviously brand new - Porsche. Hanabi tossed the keys to their shophar and spread her arms wide. "So what do you think of my baby?" She asked happily.

"That's your car?" Ino asked shocked.

Hanabi smiled happily as she leant against it. "Grad present from my dad. There are a lot of perks to being a rich bitch after all." She looked at the passenger door and seemed to glare at the person on the other side of the window. "Sis we've been over this, either you come out of there, or I drag you out of there." Hanabi offered her ultimatum through gritted teeth.

"I can't be seen in public wearing this." Hinata mumbled quietly from the car so only Hanabi could hear.

Hanabi smiled to herself as she leant closer to the door. "Come on sis, I've given you something modest compared to the other girls out tonight. No one's going to be able to see your panties and even with your glorious bust you can have a nip slip. Besides Naruto's here."

Hinata said nothing but Hanabi knew that she was teetering on the edge one more push and she be home free. She leant in closer to the door and opened it slightly so that she did have to talk too loudly to be heard. "I'm sure he'd be awful sad if you didn't at least say hi after he went through all the trouble of asking you out tonight."

"I hate you."

Hanabi smiled at her sister. "But you love me more."

Hinata sighed and took a deep breath. If you trade today's uncertainty for tomorrow's safety you're not much of a soldier. The words of her drill Sargent Ibiki ran through her mind and she made her decision. She took another deep breath to still her racing heart and opened the car door.

She stood there blushing on the side walk as she felt the eyes of the others on her.

Hanabi had at least given her something mildly concealing. With small black shorts that we're cut short to deliberately show off her ass. A white sleeveless shirt that tied off around her neck leaving most of her back to be hidden by her long hair. To Finnish off the look Hanabi had given her a pair of knee high leather boots that Hanabi had dubbed as her 'fuck me' boots.

"Damn Hinata I never knew you could look so hot!" Ino exclaimed as she stepped closer to fawn over her body. Hinata instinctively shrunk back. She didn't like people being that close to her. At least not with that look in their eyes.

She shuffled on her feet awkwardly and was barely able to get two words out as Ino and Sakura set on the girl.

Naruto watched from a far with a slight smile on her face. The Hinata that stood before him here and now was much like the Hinata he had known five years ago. During her time in the military the young woman had grown much. She was confident, could add her opinion in a debate and could hold her own in an argument quite well, while in uniform. Yet here and now faced with friends instead of colleagues and wearing something that only barely passed for clothes instead of her pristine uniform it was both surprising and comforting to see just how much Hinata had changes and how much she hadn't.

Hinata looked up from the ground and met Naruto's eyes, her already noticeable blush intensifying greatly.

"So, Mr Major, does my sister's attire meet your approval?" Hanabi asked as she leaned on her sisters shoulder.

"Hanabi!?" Hinata gasped, somehow managing to redden further.

Hanabi gave her sister a sidewards glance. "What?" She asked innocently.

Hinata stumbled over her own words as she tried to reprimand her sister on her actions.

"I think she looks lovely," Naruto said seemingly out of nowhere. Sakura and Ino giggled to themselves while Hinata blushed more.

Christ anymore and she's going to burst a blood vessel, Hanabi thought to herself as she looked at her sisters face. She sent Naruto a cheeky wink and pressed her lips close to Hinata's ear. "Told you," she whispered in a sing-song voice.

"Shut up." Hinata growled back weakly.

Hanabi laughed.

"Hey guys!"

As one the small group turned to the sound of the voice.

"Ayame!" Ino and Sakura all but squealed as the brunet walked up to them. Hinata and Hanabi stood where they were with Naruto.

Hanabi looked from Naruto to the new arrival and sighed inwardly.

Oh for fucks sake! She bemoaned silently. She could tell by the look in his eyes tonight was going to be rough if she intended to get Hinata and him together. She looked back to Ayame and sighed. She did look fantastic.

While not as 'naturally blessed' as Hinata, Ayame was still a beautiful woman, practically perfectly proportioned. Her dress was more of a miniskirt and bra combo, with most of the fabric from the back and sides removed.

She hugged Ino and Sakura as they approached her and talked for a little bit before the brunettes eyes settled on the blond man in front of her.

They hugged warmly as they met each other and almost immediately fell into conversation about this that and the other.

Hanabi felt Hinata tense besides her as Naruto and Ayame became wrapped up in each other's company. She gave her a comforting hug. "Don't worry," she said, "We're not done yet." She told her sister reassuringly.

Hinata's shoulders slumped as she looked up at her little sister.

"Really?" She asked, not sure whether she would be relieved or mortified.

Hanabi gave her a comforting smile. "Promise,"

As the night wore on the small group went from club to club bumping into a few old aquatints' of theirs. Unfortunately for Hinata and Hanabi, Naruto's borderline obsession with Ayame proved to be a little too much for them to over power. It wasn't that the young blond only had eyes for the beautiful ramen chef, on the contrary he spent a large amount of time with all of them however Ayame had a feminine allure to her that Hinata simply did have, due in no small part to her doing nothing more engaging than standing in a corner.

The night was in full swing when the group entered the drunken toad and now Ino and Sakura had inadvertently moved away from the group, chatting up a few of the cuter guys they had found that night. Ayame had dragged Naruto off to the dance floor a while ago leaving Hanabi and Hinata to sit at the bar.

Hinata downed her eighth drink that night as she looked at Naruto and Ayame jealously.

A small part of her wanted to hate the brunette girl for ruining her night but Hinata couldn't find it within herself to be so spiteful. Over the years Hinata and Naruto had drawn much closer than they ever had been at school, as a result they had talked much about their lives back in Konoha and Hinata had learnt things about the blond that once again painted him In a whole new light.

Ayame had come up more than a few times in their conversations. Naruto had moved shortly after his father had died, the neighbourhood kids had been cruel to him and on the days when he was alone he found a small ramen stall to spend his time. That is where he had met Ayame. She had been one of his first real friends and while they were a few years apart they had remained close friends. She had even seen him off the day he left for the military. She put her glass down on the table and sighed.

Hanabi rubbed her shoulders affectionately. "There, there sis I'm sure we can still get him." She offered shakily.

Hinata smiled and shook her head, "It's okay," She said in a soft voice. "I'd feel bad for getting in between them."

"What?" Hanabi asked, not fully understanding what Hinata was saying.

"Did you know she was his first real friend?" Hinata asked absently.

"Who?"

"Ayame," Hinata elaborated. "She was the first person Naruto ever really called his friend. They've know each other for 18 years and aside from his mother she was the one he talked to and about the most. She's closer to him than I am as much as I'd like to delude myself about that the truth is she knows him in a way I'm yet to. So at the very least I don't think I should get in the way of their reunion."

Hanabi just sat there for a moment digesting what Hinata had told her. "But you told me that the two of you had-," She began.

"That didn't mean as much as I lead on." Hinata cut in.

"What do you mean it didn't mean anything!?" Hanabi asked, her anger growing.

"Cool it," Hinata ordered in a sterner voice than Hanabi was used to hearing. "Yea we fucked, and while it did not mean nothing to either of us it was by no means a declaration of undying love." Hanabi looked confused so with a sigh and another drink Hinata elaborated.

"We were young and afraid," The eldest Hyūga began. "We were fresh out of training and thrown head first into a war front, within the first day more than half of our unit was dead or dying. We were all scared and in need of comfort, we just happened to find it in each other. After that we did grow closer but we weren't madly in love with one another. All it really was, was stress relief and comfort, as much for myself as for him."

Hanabi just sat there for a minute unsure of what to say. "S-so... Was he your first?" She asked shakily.

Hinata actually giggled at that. "Nope," She said mischievously. Hanabi was once again stumped by Hinata's words. She was more than a little shocked to hear her sister admit to being so promiscuous.

"Th-then who was?" She asked her interest and desire for gossip picking up her spirits.

"That's a story for another day," Hinata commented slyly.

Hanabi pouted, "Oh come on sis," The young Hyūga pleaded almost desperately.

Hinata shook her head, adamant in her decision. "No," Hinata replied.

The two of them went back and forth a few times as Hanabi tried again and again to get Hinata to tell her who she had lost her virginity too but she never told.

The two began joking and laughing with each other, the dampener that had hung over them finally dispelled.

As Hanabi casually cast an eye out over the club she swore under her breath and looked down.

"What is it?" Hinata asked.

"It's Kiba," Hanabi mumbled in happily.

Hinata cocked her head to the side in confusion. "Kiba? Kiba Inuzuka?" She asked, looking around for her old class mate.

An action Hanabi quickly addressed.

"Don't!" She hissed.

"Why?" Hinata asked, not sober enough to understand her sisters reasoning.

"Caus I don't want to deal with that prick alright." Hanabi growled back with angst.

"Why?" Hinata asked again. God, five years can really take you out of the loop, she bemoaned to herself.

"Okay so you know how Kiba was really into you right?" Hanabi began.

"He was?" Hinata slurred.

Hanabi sighed. Good god this girl is dense, she thought to herself. "Yea he was," She muttered irritably, "Anyway, after you left for the military and he washed out he kind of started coming after me." She explained. "At first it was fun, he was nice, had a car, and could buy me alcohol - you know all the 'quality' boyfriend materials."

Hinata nodded along dumbly as her nine drinks finally seemed to be taking effect on her.

"We'll after he got out of high school he started falling in with the wrong crowed. I mean he'd always been the 'bad boy' type but then it started getting a little bit more out of hand. I called it off when I stopped by his place one night and he was doing fucking lines of coke of some sluts ass, ever since then he's been trying to get me back. Dad eventually told him at gun point to leave me alone but if he ever spots me in the clubs he's all over me."

Hinata just sat there, her eyes surprisingly wide as she heard of what had happened to her old friend.

"Anyway, we should get the others and go before he sees us otherwise we're fucked." She looked up around the dance floor trying to spot him.

"Fuck where did he go?" She hissed to herself.

"Looking for someone?" And all too familiar voice asked from behind her.

Hanabi practically jumped out of her skin when she heard his voice so close. She regained her composure quickly as she glared at him. "Go away," She said with a disgusted moan.

Kiba's eyes narrowed at the girl as she spoke to him. "Come on, don't be like that babe," He said in what was supposed to be a charming tone. "I'm just here for a drink."

"Then get it somewhere else," She said venomously.

Kiba let out an irritated growl at her words and slapped her hard. "Watch what you say bitch," He growled at her. "I'm here trying to be nice and your being a spoilt little bitch." He took a step closer and began groping her. "I think I better teach you some manners."

"Get off her Kiba." Hinata ordered in a dangerous voice. Kiba and Hanabi both froze as they headed her voice. Irritatedly Kiba turned to look at her. "What did you-," His voice trailed off in surprise as he recognised the woman standing next to him.

"Whoa, Hinata?" He asked surprised. "Damn girl you look good," He said with a dubious smile.

"I said, get off her." Hinata repeated again in the same low and dangerous tone. It made Hanabi shiver, hearing her kind, shy and gentle older sister speaking with such a level of power and dominance.

Kiba just laughed at her. "What, five years and I don't even get so much as a hello first?" He asked mockingly.

"If I have to repeat myself again I'm going to break that arm of yours." She warned him, her tone leaving no doubt to those that heard it that the dark haired woman would make good on her ultimatum.

Kiba only laughed again. "Look, you may not know how things work around here since you've been off playing soldier for the last five years but around here I'm kind of a big deal, and what I say goes, and everyone here knows it."

Hinata's eyes narrowed but she knew he was right. The people that had been standing around them had backed off and were looking every which way but where they should and even the bartenders were going to lengths to act like the scene before them wasn't happening. "But," Kiba continued. "You've been out of the loop and since we go way back I'll let you go. All you gotta do is blow me." He said smugly. Hinata didn't even bother with saying anything else, she just acted. Exactly as she had been trained, the perfect way to break and arm with as little effort and cause as much damage as possible. If she had been sober it would have worked but Hinata was sluggish and Kiba wasn't exactly inept at fighting. He grabbed her arm and gave it a painful twist as he brought his free hand across her face violently, drawing out a painful cry from her lips.

"Mmm, that's it babe," Kiba moaned. "I'm going to enjoy teaching you some manners." Hinata felt her skin crawl as she struggled against Kiba's grip. She may have been drunk, but she was smart enough to know what that boy had in mind.

From across the dance floor Naruto cast a casual glance over to Hinata and Hanabi at the bar. He hadn't known how long he'd been dancing with Ayame, he'd been lost in his own little world as Ayame grinded against him, but a sixth sense just made him look up out of habit. He froze when he saw what was happening at the bar. His fists clenched and his blood hit its boiling point. It took him less than a second to assess the whole situation.

The way that the bouncers seemed to be looking in just the wrong direction to the way the bar keepers were avidly serving other customers. He let out a low, predatory growl as he began stalking forward shoving his way past the other dancers. Ayame tried to stop him but he didn't notice here, thankfully enough for her.

Kiba was too caught up in his own power and dominance to notice Naruto's approach.

Of all of them Naruto had A) the highest alcohol tolerance and B) had had the least to drink over the course of the evening. He grabbed Kiba from behind and ripped his arms away from the two Hyūga's. Before anyone could fully comprehend what was happening - much less Kiba - the boys head was given a particularly savage introduction to the bar's counter.

There was a loud thock and more than a few glass' fell over and broke.

Naruto would later find it comical just how shocked everyone reacted to the sudden turn of events. There were several startled cries from the clubs patrons and even the staff seemed to take a moment to register the situation.

Eventually one of them came forward, barking something at Naruto. For his part the blond Major levelled a particularly dark glare at the burly bartender. "Fuck off." Naruto ordered.

The intensity of his gaze mixed with the anger and venom in his voice made the bartender comply without a second thought.

Naruto felt a strong hand on his shoulder and he looked up to see a big heavy set bouncer.

Before he could say or do anything Naruto grabbed his wrist and gave it a twist, kicking his legs out as he did so.

With a yelp the bouncer fell to his knees, his arm twisting painfully in Naruto's vice like grip. He heard the tell-tale signs of another bouncer moving up behind him and turned his head. "Take another step and this fucker loses his arm." Naruto stated. The bouncer froze like the others when he met Naruto's gaze.

A heavy silence fell over the room as Naruto's anger spilled out over the on lookers. Everything about him was powerful and in control. He was also, unmistakably pissed off.

The second bouncer tried to say something but Naruto cut him off. "Unless your next action is picking up that fucker," He said gesturing to Kiba with his head. "Save it. Don't you dare come bitching to me about shit you guys don't have the balls to do yourself."

"I-I don't know what you're talking about." The second bouncer countered weakly.

Naruto twisted the arm of the first bouncer just a little more drawing a grunt of extreme discomfort from the large man. "Keep playing dumb and I'll break his arm out of spite." Naruto warned. "I know you ass holes saw what was going on here; I know you were content to look the other way. You're lucky you don't need an ambulance."

The second bouncer shivered slightly and took a step back as the blond spoke.

"Well Naruto I see you're as boastful as ever." Kiba said sourly from the floor.

Naruto let the bouncers arm go as he looked at Kiba.

"Let me make myself perfectly clear." Naruto said dangerously. "I see you so much as touch either of these girls again," He said as he stepped in between Kiba and the Hyūga girls. "I will cut your fucking hands off, got it dog boy?"

"Go fuck yourself blondy," Kiba muttered.

Naruto punched him.

"Hinata, Hanabi, we're leaving." Naruto said as he stood up. Both girls nodded as they followed Naruto. Ayame, Ino and Sakura joining them as they left. The small group exited by the front entrance a trio of bouncers following them every step.

"Okay, so what the fuck just happened?" Ino asked after they exited. She'd been to 'preoccupied' to see anything. She only knew to leave because Sakura practically dragged her out by her ear.

"Kiba happened," Hanabi mumbled angrily as she folded her arms across her chest.

"Yea about that," Naruto piped up, "What the fuck was that?" He asked. To most it would have been seen as a back handed comment but the tone of voice he used and the look in his eyes told Hanabi that the blond really had no idea why that particular event had transpired.

"Kiba's kind of a king pin," She explained. "He's not a big boss but he's up there, because of that most people around these parts just turn a blind eye to his actions. If he wanted to he could have any of these clubs closed by morning."

Naruto sighed. "Well that does explain a lot," He said as he ran a hand through his spiky hair in a nervous habit.

"So what know?" Ayame asked.

"I think we call it a night." Naruto said casually. The incident with Kiba had killed to mood and none present really felt like going to another club.

"I'll tell dad to come pick us up." Hanabi said as she pulled out her phone. They all nodded as they began walking through the maze of streets to get to the main road.

The first sign of trouble was when the streets started getting noticeably clearer.

The second was the trio of men casually blocking off the street.

Naruto sighed irritatedly. He really was in the mood for this sort of shit.

"If you know what's good for you clear off," The blond warned. "I really am sick of dealing with ass holes tonight."

"Oh shut it blondy." Kiba growled.

"Would you rather I broke your neck as well as your nose mutt?" Naruto asked, provoking the man further.

Kiba growled and stepped forward but the man in the middle held up a hand to stop him.

"Now, now Kiba," The man said. "You know better than to take cheap bait like that."

Naruto's head cocked to the side as he heard that voice. It was familiar, he knew that voice, but for the life of him he couldn't name the speaker or see his face.

"Oh come on Sasuke," Kiba began.

"Sasuke!? Sasuke Uchiha!?" Naruto asked flabbergasted.

From the way the man's head jostled Naruto knew he was smirking - an action that only proved it was him.

Sasuke stepped forward and came into view properly. Unlike Kiba - who was dressed for a night club scene - Sasuke was dressed well in a perfectly pressed and tailored suite.

"Hello Naruto, been a long time." The dark eyed Uchiha said.

Naruto nodded, "Five years."

"Cut the crap," Kiba snapped angrily.

Sasuke paused and looked back at his lackey, the Inuzuka stepped back a few paces.

"Well while I would like to reminisce about the past," Sasuke began. "I cannot let your earlier behaviours slide."

"Is that so?" Naruto asked evenly, switching his gaze from the Uchiha in front of him to the two lackeys.

Sasuke nodded. "Yes it is, you see while you've been out of the country I've become quite the business man of sorts." He explained as he began pacing methodically.

"What sort of business?" Naruto asked casually, though he was pretty sure he knew the answer.

Sasuke smiled at him. "Pharmaceuticals,"

"You mean drugs," Naruto countered.

Sasuke shrugged, "If you wish to call it that," He stopped pacing and looked at Naruto. "I suppose the point I'm trying to convey here is that I am a business man, and I cannot let people interfere with my business, those that do need to be made into an example."

The way he said it and the look in his eyes as he spoke sent alarm bells ringing in Naruto's head.

He could tell by looking at him that Sasuke would make good on his threat.

Naruto took a breath to calm himself. "I see," He said taking a step forward. "While I do understand your position you seem to have miss read a few things." Naruto said in a very business-like tone.

"And that is?" Sasuke asked sounding mildly intrigued.

"Firstly," Naruto began. "While I understand your position I do not respect it. Secondly I do not accept it and finally I will not allow it. You may have your little lackeys and your contacts but I really have moved up in the world. I'm a Major actually, I also have several very influential figures on my side, so if you want to make a mountain out of this I'm willing to oblige your naïvety, but tell me, do you really think your little gang and your drug operations are a match for an army?"

There was silence for a while as Sasuke just stood there looking at the blond.

Then he started chuckling, "You always did bet big." Sasuke said. "But for one thing I know you aren't worth more than the shit I took this morning and secondly, even if you were some big powerful officer you could hardly bring the military down on me as we are now."

Naruto shrugged. "Feel free to believe that." He said.

Sasuke sighed wirily. "Shino, Kiba, finish them off would you." Sasuke barked as he stepped behind his subordinates.

Naruto looked at the other man, he was not exactly imposing or noticeable but as he stepped closer Naruto did recognise him as one of his old school friends.

"Careful," Kiba warned Shino as they closed in. "He messed me up pretty quick."

Shino smirked as he drew a knife. "You make it sound like that's a hard thing."

"Shut up," Kiba growled as he too drew a knife.

Naruto heard the sharp intake of breath behind him as the girls started backing off, all save his faithful Captain.

"Captain," Naruto said calmly as the two me advanced. "Stay with the others, I'll handle these dunces."

"Yes sir," Hinata said as she moved back to stand with the others.

Naruto let out another deep breath as he rolled his neck from side to side and stretched his arms.

"Naruto run!" Ayame shouted.

He ignored her.

"You'd be better off saving your breath." Hinata told her.

"What?" Ayame stammered, shocked. "Don't you care that he's going to get killed?"

Hinata turned a particularly icy glare on the Ramen chef. "Don't insult him." She breathed. "As if either of those two idiots are any real threat to him."

Ayame went to say something more but Hinata continued. "Let me remind you that he has spent the last five years fight a war, you don't make it on the front lines that long on dumb luck. You survive on skill, grit and determination. He made Major for a reason, keep that in mind."

With that said she turned back to enjoy the fight.

Shino moved first stepping in for a lunge. It was almost incomprehensible just how fast Naruto moved.

He stepped in and to the side avoiding the knife point as he grabbed Shino's arm. He twisted the wrist and pulled the arm down, using his free arm as a leaver.

There was a distinct snap as Shino's elbow shattered but before the man could make any distinctive sound of pain Naruto sent an elbow into his ribs and brought his head against Shino's nose.

Shino hit the ground, out cold, his arm bending at a disturbing angle. Kiba froze for a second as Naruto turned his attention to the drug runner.

Kiba attacked shakily bringing the knife down in a stabbing motion, aiming for Naruto's neck. The blond held his arms up in an 'x' warding off the knife blow.

Kiba grunted as he added his other hand to the blow, trying to over power the blond.

Naruto took it all in stride, barely breaking a sweat as he held off the murderous blow. Kiba's face was turning red as he poured all of his strength into trying to bring the knife down on the blond, but it was painfully obvious that Naruto was much stronger than Kiba was.

Naruto almost took pity on the man, almost but not quite.

Naruto bent his legs slightly and pushed up, bringing his leg up in the process. Every one watching let out a sharp 'ooh' as Naruto's leg connected sharply with Kiba's testicles.

Kiba's eyes glazed over as the man whimpered in pain. He let go of the knife and Naruto stepped back and caught it before it hit the ground, bringing the handle into the side of Kiba's head.

He hit the pavement with a thud.

A life on the battle field had made Naruto and Hinata something of savant when it came to weaponry.

As such the soft metallic click registered with both of them immediately. Naruto turned and eyed up the shot as he flipped the knife over in his hand and drew it back.

He was a full second ahead of Sasuke, the point of the knife biting deeply into the dark eyed Uchiha's shoulder just moments before he pulled the trigger.

The shot when wide and hit a window, sending shards of glass down into the street.

The gun hit the ground with a heavy thack as Sasuke staggered back.

Naruto popped his neck left and right as he walked over to the Uchiha.

"You'll pay for this!" Sasuke grunted angrily as he clutched his shoulder. Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Will I?" He asked.

Sasuke looked at him confused.

"Let me explain something to you about the judicial system in the Land of Fire," Naruto explained. "Ever since the Third Great War it had been a militaristic nation, just like the other four great nations. As a result of that we have two distinct court structures. A civilian one, to deal with all matters related to civilian incidences. We then have a Military Tribunal." Naruto told him, "Which are for any and all incidences involving military actions or personnel, and seeing as Hinata and I are both members of the military this will undoubtedly got strait to a Military Tribunal and as I said I have some extremely influential friends. Brigadier General Tsunade, General Jiraiya, they all look at me with some fondness and I'm pretty sure they'd be quick to remove you should this go to court, you see they have this whole thing with high expectations of me, you know those." Naruto said in an almost joking manner. "Those things that people had for you once upon a time. Funny how out of the two of us I'm the one that actually did something with my life."

Sasuke spat in his face.

Naruto dropped him.

He used the man's tie to wipe the spit off his face before standing up and looking at the others. "Come on lets go." He said. "It's only a matter of time before the police show up, though more thugs are more likely."

The girls nodded as they made their way to the main street.

A limo was already waiting for them. They all got in and pulled away as the first police car arrived. There was an uncomfortable silence in the car as they drove to Sakura and Ino's apartment. The two women got out and said there good byes as the limo drove off.

The next stop was Ayame's apartment.

As the limo pulled up in front of the building Naruto and Ayame both got out.

"Sir?" Hinata began.

Naruto looked back at her and smiled. "Ma lives two streets down." Naruto explained pointing to the street they had just passed. "I'll just walk home. Besides, you really should get some ice onto your cheek."

As if on cue Hinata felt a slight stinging sensation in her cheek from here Kiba had hit her. Upon looking in a mirror she realised just how bad it was.

"Yes Sir," Hinata said.

Naruto offered her a smile. "Take care Hinata, I'll be in touch."

She nodded her goodbye's and the limo pulled away heading for the Hyūga estate. As Naruto turned back to Ayame he was met with a sudden and forceful kiss.

At first he just stood there for a moment, more or less shell shocked by what was happening, but he quickly recovered as kissed her back.

They stood there for a few minutes before Ayame broke the kiss.

"Do you want to come up?" She asked almost shyly.

Naruto smiled. "Sure."

She smiled back as she led him by the hand up to her apartment.

They had taken all of two steps into the apartment before the two were all over each other again.

Naruto kicked the door closed behind him as Ayame dragged him over to her bedroom.

Somehow in the fifteen or so feet between her front door and her bedroom Ayame had managed to get his shirt off.

She they entered her room the brunette pushed him back sending him crashing onto her bed. She smiled seductively at him as she set to work taking off his pants freeing his rapidly growing member.

Her smile grew wider as she straddled him, allowing Naruto to help her taking off her clothes, giving the blond an up close view of her firm breasts.

They kissed hungrily as Ayame used a free hand to stroke his cock while Naruto's hands roamed freely across her naked body.

"I've been wanting this for so long." She moaned between kisses.

Naruto smiled at her as he rolled her onto her back. "Me too," He whispered hungrily into her ear as he began kissing his way down her beautiful body.

What be happening Frendlies?

I really shouldn't be writing this. And before you go off on what ever your first though was reading that first sentence let me be clear, that was a I shouldn't be writing this because I have to do other things, I shouldn't be doing this, not a I shouldn't be writing a fanfic, I shouldn't be doing this.

Sorry this took me so long, but I've been lazy and suffering from writers block.

Also before anyone comments about how I hooked up Ayame and Naruto let me make two things clear.

1) That paring has been stuck in my head for a while for no good reason, but rest assured its just a thing.

2) I'm really, really gonna make you lot work for that, I mean really make you work for it. it is coming, but not for a long while. Naruto has way to much stamina to jus end it quickly...Oh god that was horrible.

So I'll get the third chapter up eventually and I apologise for taking so long, but with everything else going on my stories are being pushed to the side more and more, kind of why I haven't been uploading anything, but I'll try my very best.

Hope you enjoyed this latest chapter and I'll get you more for your fiction addiction ASAP.

Until next time I wish you all the best.
Yours truly.
Nicolai Grey.
