He was just about to leave when Ino grabbed his hand, "Wait!" Ino stopped him as she remembered something Sakura had told her, "I heard from Sakura that you were the author of a certain book…"
Naruto smirked, "you mean loveless right? Yeah I'm the author," Naruto grinned, "so you a fan?" he asked. Only to sweat drop as Ino was suddenly right in front of him, with hearts in her eyes and his book in his face. Is it just me, or do all women seem capable of the Hiraishin when they want something…
"I can't believe you wrote this," Ino squealed, "this book is my absolute favorite! The beauty of your words and the deep meanings behind them are all so… so… breathtaking." she held the book out to him, "can you sign my book!"
Naruto smiled; "Sure," he grabbed the book and pen she had, signing it for her before handing it back. "Thanks for the flowers Ino," Naruto said as he threw a wave over his shoulder.
He never noticed the gleam in Ino's eyes as he left.

Yugao placed the single flower she had next to the memorial stone, standing back up she looked at the one name that had meant the world to her.
Hayate.
It had been well known to the ninja population that the two had been dating, she and Hayate had been together since they were genin. However what had not been as well known was that she and Hayate had actually been engaged for nearly six months before the invasion of Konoha struck. They had been nearing the final stages of planning out there wedding, when Hayate had been killed by a wind blade. Taking him from her life, and leaving the woman feeling completely empty. Ever since then she had been lost, her entire life seemed to revolve around her fellow swordsman. Now that he was gone she had felt as if she was just ghosting through life, without really living.
Her friends of course had tried to help to the best of their abilities, trying to get her out of the apartment she had shared with Hayate. Taking her out on the town in the hopes she would at least smile, they had even tried to hook her up with another man. However none of it had worked, she could not bear the thought of leaving the place she and Hayate had shared so many memories. She rarely ever with out with her friends anymore except to drink, usually Yugao was doing some kind of S class mission or in the hospital after said mission went wrong. And no one else could ever fill the void that Hayate's death had caused, a part of that may have been her fault but she really did not feel like moving on. It felt like she would be betraying Hayate's memory.
"Excuse me miss do you mind if I stay here?"
Yugao's eyes widened in surprise as she twirled around, when her gaze landed on the figure her eyes widened even more. "Y-Yondaime-Sama!" Yugao spoke in shock, finding herself staring into the blue eyes of who she assumed was the Yondaime Hokage.
Naruto was about correct her when he found his gaze traveling along the woman. She was definitely beautiful, with long purple hair that had two large bangs falling over her shoulder and several smaller bangs covering her face. Her eyes were a dark brown, which contrasted nicely with her pale milky skin. She had a heart shaped face, with small yet pouty pink lips and a small nose. She was wearing the Anbu attire for female kunoichi, which did nothing to hide her amazing figure. Nice well rounded and firm hips, a narrow waist, and luscious mid to high C cup chest. All in all the entire woman was the epitome of beauty, yet it was not these qualities that attracted his attention. It was that he knew this woman.

Flashback…
A five year old Naruto was huddled in a corner of an alley trying to hide from his pursuers; he had gone out of his 'home' in one of the alley's in the low class district of Konoha to get some food from the garbage. Something he had been forced to do for several months now, since the orphanage had kicked him out. When several drunk civilians had noticed him and began to throw various objects and chase him, claiming that he was stealing. Naruto instinctively knew that they really just wanted to justify beating him, it did not happen often, but the occasional time he had been seen people would make some trumped up claim and do what these people were doing just now.
"Well, *hic* well well *hic* what do we have here?"
He looked up and his eyes widened before he was kicked in the chest, his malnourished body hit the wall making him cough up blood. The man who kicked him lifted the blond by his throat, slamming him into the wall before slamming him on the floor. The man than stomped on his back and Naruto screamed as it felt like his spine snapped in half.
"Aww do you *hic* not like that?" the man asked in a drunken and whiny voice. "Too bad!" the man laughed as he kicked Naruto on his stomach, before raising his foot up to stomp on his face. Naruto closed his eyes as he waited for the inevitable blow.
It never hit.
After nearly a minute of nothing happening, Naruto opened his eyes to see a young girl standing in front of him; she had long purple hair and was wearing black clothes. She wasn't very tall and looked to be around 15 years old. On her face was one of those funny masks that Naruto had seen answering to the old man in the funny hat, she was currently grabbing the man's leg keeping it from hitting him.
"Who the hell are you," the man said in anger and disgust. "You better *hic* be on your way girly, or we're gonna… AHH!"
He cried out as the leg she had in her hand on previously was suddenly sliced off by a sword the young woman had pulled out. "You people disgust me, picking on an innocent child because of his burden." She slashed the man across the throat, killing him. She turned to look at the other two men who despite being drunk, were sober enough to realize the danger they were in. Both were nwt cowering in fear as the woman stalked towards them, two quick slashes of her sword and a fire jutsu later they were dead and burned to ashes.
