Sorry, I realized after I posted that in my hurry to finally add to my story, I never finished the chapter. In fact, I'm missing the end of an argument. This is a rather quickly written piece to finish the conversation right by the end of the last chapter. Sorry about Kurenai being pretty ooc, but I was in a rush to stick it in.

"Have you finished?" She asked, standing over him now.

"Yes." He answered, twirling a kunai round in his hands.

She kneeled down next to him. " You could have come to talk to me you know."

"I didn't want to worry you." He mumbled.

Her eyes narrowed. "I can't believe you! Let me tell you something Naruto. And I'm only going to say this once so you'd better pay attention." She wrenched the kunai from his hands. "You are utterly the stupidest, most self-centered, appallingest excuse for a shinobi on this planet or any other! An infantile, adolescent, pathetic specimen!" She yelled as she checked the kunai at his head, its handle banging off his forehead protecter as his eye's narrowed in anger and shame. But she wasn't done yelling yet.

"Feeling all sorry for yourself because a stupid fangirl is making you doubt in yourself and you haven't got the balls to ignore what she said. You're as bad as…as… ugh I don't know who, but didn't it occur to you that I'd be worried silly about you?"

Naruto cringed. "I didn't think that…" But Kurenai stopped him from speaking further. "That's exactly it! You didn't think! You lummox, you overgrown bubble headed.." She was prevented from further venting when Naruto launched himself at her and began to hug her tightly. Kurenai wrapped her arms tightly around Naruto and said softly "I care Naruto. You have friends now and you can't just break down on us."
