"Team Seven Kakashi Pass or fail?" asked Hiruzen as the jonin sensei all stood in front of the Hokage as well as a few chunin instructors from the academy.
"They passed with flying colours" said Kakashi with an eye smile.
"Good Job Naruto, Gaia" thought Anko and Kurenai at the same time.
"Alright noted moving on Kurenai Team Eight?" asked Hiruzen.
"They too passed Hokage-sama" said Kurenai.
"Very good and finally Asuma Team Ten?" questioned the elderly leader of the leaf village.
"They passed but barely thanks to Sakura's efforts" said Asuma with a sigh.
"What do you mean Asuma?" asked the elder Sarutobi.
"I mean she was an absolute bitch to everyone she said she should have been put on a team with and I quote 'her Sasuke-kun' and just refused to have anything to do with her teammates" said Asuma.
"Noted alright everyone may leave except the sensei of the passing teams" said Hiruzen, his office slowly but surely emptied until only he and the three jonin in front of him remained.
"Alright you three tomorrow I will tell the ten of the genin about the program I am placing them in I want you to bring them here at ten and Kakashi I mean ten not whenever you feel like showing up" said Hiruzen levelling a glare at the silver haired jonin, said man gave a lazy nod.
"Alright dismissed" said Hiruzen and like that his office was empty of anyone but him and his hidden ANBU.
#With Naruto And Gaia#
Naruto and Gaia were sitting side by side in the back yard of Kurenai and Anko's house looking up at the stars. Gaia was leaning her head on Naruto's shoulder; Naruto meanwhile had his arm around Gaia and was holding her close to him. Gaia let out a sigh of content.
"The stars are beautiful tonight" said Gaia as she gazed up into the endless expanse above.
"Not as beautiful as you my Sabaku Tenshi (Desert Angel)" muttered Naruto making the red haired girl leaning on his shoulder blush. Naruto caught the blush out of the corner of his eye and leaned over and kissed Gaia square on the lips.
"I love you Gaia-chan" said Naruto with a smile.
"I love you more Naru-kun" said Gaia smiling back at her blond fiancé. Gaia still remembered the night her father had made her the happiest she had ever been in her life, the night she was told that she would be married to Naruto.
#Flashback#
It was a cool night in the desert village of Suna and Gaia was with her siblings at home waiting for their father to return home. Temari was reading a book sitting on the couch, Kankuro was constructing a puppet of some sort and Gaia was sitting on the couch with a stuffed fox in her hands, the fox itself was orange and had nine tails. Now you might be wondering why a fourteen year old girl was clutching a stuffed animal that would be because it was a gift from her first ever friend it was a gift from Naruto. All three children looked up when they heard the door open, and in walked their father. The Yondaime Kazekage wore a smile on his face which was a rare occurrence for the man.
"What's got you so happy Tou-san?" asked Temari.
"I got conformation on an agreement I made with the Hokage today" said the Kazekage.
"Oh and what was the agreement?" asked Gaia clutching her soft toy fox tighter, thinking about the Hokage made her think of Naruto.
"Gaia-chan before I say anything else what do you think of the boy who gave you that fox?" asked the kage
"He was my first and is probably my best friend it's just a shame I don't get to see him a lot anymore" said Gaia her tone taking a turn for the sad at the end.
"What would you say if I told you, you would be seeing a lot more of him?" asked the Kazekage.
"What do you mean Tou-san?" asked Gaia innocently the Kazekage leaned down to be eye to eye with his youngest daughter.
"Gaia-chan myself and the Hokage made an agreement a long time ago about you and Naruto, I'm sending you to Konoha and you are going to become Naruto-kun's bride" said the Maroon haired Kage. Gaia's eyes widened to astronomical levels.
"R-really Tou-san I'm going to Konoha and I'm going to marry Naru-kun?" asked Gaia, her only response a nod from her father. She did what any girl would do after being told she was to become her crush's bride, she squealed in joy, before starting to giggle to herself, squeezing her stuffed fox close to her.
#Flashback End#
Watching the two young love birds from the back door of the house was Anko who was leaning on the door frame watching her adopted son with a smile on her face.
"I'm home" called Kurenai walking through the front door, Anko turned to her wife as she walked through the hallways.
"Shhh Naruto and Gaia are having a moment" said Anko with a smile as well as a shushing motion. Kurenai looked at Anko who pointed out the back door, both women then walked over to the open door to see Naruto and Gaia in the same position they were before.
"Aw they look so adorable" whispered Kurenai, Anko pulled Kurenai closer to her by the hips and kissed her lightly on the lips.
"I'm so glad we took Naruto in" said Anko looking out at her son and his fiancé.
#Flashback#
A very dressed up Anko sat at a table across from an equally dressed up Kurenai. Anko wore a long purple sleeveless dress, a pair of long white gloves that went up to just short of her shoulders and a pair of high heels, Anko had her haired tied up into a bun with a pair of senbon in a cross shape to keep it up and a pair of bangs framing her face. Kurenai on the other hand also wore a long dress but hers was a deep shade of red to match her ruby coloured eyes and a pair of high heels, Kurenai let her hair cascade down her shoulders like normal. These two lovely dressed up ladies were in one of the most expensive restaurants in Konoha 'The Fiery Dragon' and they were in a room separate from all of the other patrons they had just finished their meals. Anko was now just simply taking in the beauty of the woman sitting opposite of her.
"Well this was lovely Anko" said Kurenai with a gentle smile as she looked at Anko.
"It was" said Anko with a smile gazing at Kurenai.
"Well it's getting late I should probably get home" said Kurenai getting up.
"Wait before you leave I have one more thing I would like to talk to you about" said Anko getting up and walking to beside Kurenai.
"What is it Anko-chan?" asked Kurenai.
"Nai-chan…" said Anko kneeling down and reaching into her pocket.
"Will you marry me?" asked Anko finishing her question as she pulled a little box out of her pocket and flipped the lid open to reveal a golden ring with a silver snake on top with a sapphire for the snakes eye and a reasonably sized diamond in the centre of the snake. Kurenai for her part was speechless both hands covering her mouth.
"Yes Anko Yes a million times Yes" almost squealed Kurenai pouncing on Anko kissing her square on the lips with as much passion as she could put into a single kiss. Anko wrapped her arms around Kurenai's neck and pulled her closer.
Eventually after a couple of minutes the need to breathe became pressing and so the two lovers parted. While regaining their breath Anko slipped the ring onto Kurenai's finger.
"I love you so much Kurenai" said Anko hugging Kurenai close.
"I love you too Anko" said Kurenai leaning on Anko's shoulder and lightly kissing the Snake mistresses neck.
Both ladies got up and walked out of their private dining room hand in hand, they quickly exited the restaurant.
"Your place or mine?" asked Anko.
"Mine for tonight" said Kurenai, Anko nodded and the two ladies jumped to the nearest roof and began to jump from rooftop to rooftop heading back to Kurenai's apartment. As the two were jumping they heard shouting, and being the curious Kunoichi they were they decided to investigate.
The sight they came upon though could only be described as horrific. When the two women reached the source of the commotion they found a small blond, red haired boy being attacked by a mob of at least twenty civilians, Kurenai and Anko both just jumped down between the mob and the child.
"What are you people doing attacking a child?" questioned Kurenai.
"That's no child it's a daemon" yelled one villager.
"He is just a child don't you dare talk about him like that" growled Anko as she pulled out a pair of kunai and glaring at the mob.
"Leave now or I will slaughter you all" declared Anko spinning the kunai in her hands. The villagers while dumb were not dumb enough to attack a pissed Kunoichi so slowly but annoyed they left. Once Anko was sure they were gone she turned around to check on the boy.
"Anko what's the matter I've never seen you so pissed?" questioned Kurenai worriedly.
"These villagers treat this boy worse than they treat me I've seen it and worst of all he has no-one" said Anko almost letting a tear fall from her eye.
"Anko" said Kurenai putting a hand on the snake mistress's shoulder; Anko put her hand over Kurenai's hand.
"What if he did?" asked Kurenai. Anko turned back to Kurenai with a look of shock on her face.
"Are you suggesting what I think you are?" questioned Anko.
"We'll take him every child deserves familial love and this is just wrong" said Kurenai gesturing to the alley around them.
"Thank you Kurenai-chan" said Anko kissing her on the back of the hand. Before turning around to the unconscious boy and picking him up.
"Let's go" said Anko taking off.
#Flashback End#
Kurenai and Anko looked out into the garden at their adoptive son and soon to be daughter in law.
"Well I better get dinner going" said Kurenai lightly pecking Anko on the cheek then walking off towards the kitchen. Anko observed Naruto and Gaia for a moment before following Kurenai.
#Later That Night#
Naruto now sat on his double bed with a scroll, several books, paper, ink and brushes all around him, he was practicing his Fuinjutsu, he was good for his age but was not a master by any stretch of the imagination which is why he was practicing.
"Alright kids bed time" yelled Kurenai. Naruto turned to his clock and saw it was half passed eleven.
"What the hell last time I checked it was seven?" questioned Naruto unbelievingly. Naruto looked at the clock again to make sure it was right before he quickly sealed all his sealing equipment into a scroll which he put on his bedside table. Naruto quickly changed into his sleepwear which consisted of a pair of orange boxers; just after he fished changing he heard a knock at his door.
"I'm decent" called Naruto and the door opened revealing Gaia who had yet to change.
"Were you practicing you fuinjutsu again Naru-kun?" asked Gaia as she put her gourd down.
"Yeah I feel I'm getting better" said Naruto with a smile. Gaia grabbed her sleepwear from the bed before walking into the bathroom to change.
"Well that's good what level did you say you were up to?" asked Gaia from behind the closed bathroom door
"At this stage I'm at stage three almost at stage four hopefully I can to stage four before the end of the month" said Naruto. The door to the bathroom opened and out walked Gaia, Naruto still couldn't believe how beautiful Gaia was, Gaia now stood before Naruto in a simple red tank top and matching panties and that was it.
"I know I say this a lot but you're beautiful Gaia-chan" said Naruto, Gaia's cheeks went as red as her hair as she smiled at Naruto. Naruto lay back in his bed and Gaia took her spot at his side snuggled up against him.
"I love you Naru-kun" said Gaia.
"I love you more Gaia-chan" said Naruto before kissing the girl's forehead.
