"Eh heh heh heh," Naruto gulped a bit knowing that look Tsunade was giving; he had seen it on her often enough when Jiraiya pissed the woman off to know what it meant. "Err… well I guess the first thing I should tell you is that she is one of the women I have fallen in love with and am already engaged to…"
Naruto stopped his explanation as he and everyone else turned towards the door, which had just slammed shut. Looking around Naruto blinked as he noticed that Chojuro was missing, most likely the one who had just left. "Looks like I crushed any hope he had of being with you huh?" Naruto asked.
Mei just sighed as she closed her eyes, she had of course knew of Chojuro's crush on her. Hell all of Kiri knew of it, the poor boy could not get within two feet of her without turning red, and whenever he spoke with her his stuttering would get ten times worse. However she also knew that he knew of her relationship with Naruto, it would be impossible for him not too when he had walked in on the two of them making out on her desk. She would have thought that he had gotten over it by now, but she guessed that he had probably held out hope that what she and Naruto had was just a fling.
"Ao, could you please find Chojuro and then the two of you can either explore, or go to the hotel," Mei commanded in her soft yet firm voice.
Ao just bowed, "at once Mizukage-Sama," with a shake of his head the blue haired man left to find his wayward partner.
"Now," Tsunade said, "why don't you two explain to me just why you thought it was a good idea to keep this from me…?"
Naruto shook off the slight fear at her subtle or not so subtle threat; well it's subtle for her since she did not threaten me with bodily harm. Shaking the thoughts off Naruto released Mei from his arms, walking over he took a seat in one of the chairs and gestured for Mei to sit in the other. However the beautiful red head seemed to have other ideas, as she walked over and plopped herself right on Naruto's lap.
Tsunade eye brow twitched violently but she repressed the urge to threaten the two, and instead sighed as she gestured for them to begin.
Naruto cleared his throat as he and Mei began their story, telling Tsunade how they met and found comfort in each other during the Kiri Civil War.
Chojuro growled in frustration as he stomped around Konoha, unconsciously releasing his killing intent, making several civilians back away. He just could not understand it! How was it that that damn blond managed to worm his way into HIS Mizukage's heart, when he and everyone else around her had not? Was it because of the blond's confidence? The commanding aura he had? That flirty attitude that was similar to Mei's own? Or something else entirely? Chojuro was not sure, but he did not feel that boy deserved someone as beautiful and amazing as Mei. He had known Mei for far longer than that boy! He should be the one that was with her!
He was so wrapped up in his anger and inner rant that he failed to notice the other person turning the corner until it was too late.
Isaribi cursed as she ran through the streets of Konoha, using the many side alleys and back roads to get to the Hokage tower. She had been requested to take a later shift at the Hokage tower and was now running late, having been held up at her second job. Isaribi had been working two jobs for the past two weeks now, having been hired to work at the Ichiraku's Ramen bar. Of course she did not need the second job; the one had the Hokage tower gave her enough money to live off of. However there were other reasons for her wanting to get the job, like being closer to a certain blond shinobi. She had found out early on during her time in Konoha that Naruto would often frequent the by now famous Ichiraku Ramen stand. And so hoping that she would be able to run into him at places other than the Hokage tower, she had gotten herself a job there.
However while she got to see a lot more of Naruto, the young woman was unsure if he saw her, at least in the way she wanted him to. The young Clan Head was not rude of course, quite the contrary if she was not busy taking orders Naruto would talk with her, often times staying even after he finished eating to continue a conversation. And yet he did not seem to notice the subtle hints and advances she gave him, or perhaps he chose not to notice. She was beginning to think it was the latter, since Naruto treated her the same way he did Ayame, like a sister.
The thought made her sigh; perhaps it would be better if she found someone else? She had gotten a few advances, but had not really thought about going out with anyone other than Naruto. Perhaps she should talk to him, at least ask him what he thought of her before going for one of the men who asked her on a date. While it would hurt if he did not have any romantic feelings, it's not like it would be the end of the world.
She was so focused on her thoughts and running, that she completely missed the other person as she turned the corner.
"OOF!"
Isaribi thumped against a hard body of solid mass and fell backwards, her eyes were slightly closed as she waited to fall on the ground.
…
She opened her eyes when instead of feeling herself hitting hard ground, she felt a pair of arms wrapping around her frame to prevent her from falling.
"Are you alright miss?"
"Uhh…" Isaribi opened her eyes and blushed in embarrassment as she found herself staring into a pair of black eyes. She quickly shook it off as she spoke, "yes I'm fine." when the man let go of her she dusted herself off a bit before turning to her savior. The man was of an average height, maybe a few inches taller than her. With black eyes, blue hair and oddly sharp, almost shark like teeth. Though he is kind of cute… she shook her head of the thought as she looked at him, "I'm sorry for bumping into you. I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going."
Chojuro merely waved her apology off, "it's alright, I should have been more aware of my surroundings."
Isaribi tilted her head to the side, "so are you new to Konoha?"
