Kakashi stared at Naruto, unsure of why she would suggest they leave. In fact, he was confused how Pakkun and his ninken got there without him summoning them and why he had suggested they get out of there. Granted, it was a dangerous situation for Naruto to be in but it was by far not the worst of her predicaments. Either of them could have handled the situation diplomatically or physically. It wasn't until a strong smell circulated from Naruto that he understood what was going on.
Naruto was in heat.
He knew this would happen, Naruto had been telling him especially after getting her first cycle that it could happen at any time, yet he had hoped beyond hope she had been wrong. It seemed Lady Luck was not on his side. He was unsure what to do when Naruto grabbed a hold of him and hirashined them to Takigakure? They were in the middle of three waterfalls and between each waterfall were trees. They were on a small round patch of land in the center which was surrounded by small boulders. Overall, the area Naruto had taken them to was very beautiful and seemed to be very secluded. He looked to Naruto who was half sitting, half laying down, panting as she tried to do something.
He had never encountered a person in heat. The Inuzuka knew when specifically they would go into heat and either stayed in their homes or left the village for a short vacation. No one else he knew went into heat as they were never associated with animals that did so. Naruto had taken to removing some layers, starting with her pouches then her jumper as she removed her henge. Long silky blonde hair flowed past her waist onto the ground as she ran a hand through her fringe, sweat marring her skin. "How long do you intend on standing there staring, Kakashi?" she asked throatily over shrouded eyes.
Unintentionally, or at least he thought it was, Naruto's pheromones circulated them in waves as she laid completely on her back, squirming on the ground as she tried to alleviate some of the heat in her body. Kakashi stared unsure of what to do as he removed his headband and mask. He knew what he had to do, yet couldn't move. And it wasn't a matter that his body wasn't reacting, with the number of pheromones she was releasing it would be hard for nobody to react. His moral code seemed to be stopping him, as it should. Yet at the same time, he knew no one else would be able to help her. She had said so herself when she had introduced herself. Once again he looked at her and knew he couldn't, that was until she spoke up, "I know what's bothering you, koi." she said between pants. "I could always henge into my future form. That way you won't have to feel bad about this."
He contemplated the idea. Would her henging into her future form alleviate the guilt of taking her? No. But it would help him in doing what he needed to do. Slowly he gave a small nod, to which she gave a small smile to as she transformed into the form he had only seen in the visions she had shown him. Her hair was longer, eyes wider and the childlike chubbiness around her cheeks had gone. Her chest was rounder as was her rear. Her thighs also looked to be very supple and soft.
Her skin seemed to be shining ever so slightly, however, he noticed it was from sweat. A sudden gust of cool air made its way over to them and the blonde let out a loud moan, clearly enjoying the cool breeze as it cooled her hot skin. He clenched his fists as Naruto manipulated her tails to remove his flak jacket and his pouches. He managed the rest on his own after mentally chanting: She'll be in pain and Shisui will murder you for it.
He gently leaned on top of her, arms either side as he looked her in the eye. The shade of blue was truly remarkable. Bluer that the water and the sky, enough so to cause envy to Mother Nature. His brows furrowed as he was unsure of what to do. He had done this before, but never to his students. Naruto looked in his eye for permission and when she received it, turned the two of them around as she took the lead. At first anyway.

Kakashi refused to look at her as he rested his head on her lap. He hadn't been too happy to be in the position they had been in but after some time he had gotten seemed to turn the tables and had taken charge. Exactly what she needed to calm her heat. He was upset about it, yet she felt him. Felt the regret rolling off him as he clutched her to him. No, what was upsetting him so much was during their lovemaking, he had marked her. This mark was different to the one she had been given the first time.
It still bore the katakana for the wolf on and had nine tails wrapping around her, yet it also had three tomoe around the tails. That could be due to the fact this time when she was marked, Kakashi had the Sharingan or it could be due to Shisui currently being alive. She weaved her fingers through his hair as she felt a surge of chakra come through one of her seals. It was the seal she had placed on all members of Team 7 in order for them to keep in contact back when they were in Suna. Whilst Kakashi slept she quietly answered.
"Yes?"
"Oh, thank god! Sasuke and I were really worried. Is Kakashi sensei with you? Spoke a very worried sounding Sakura."
"Yeah, what's up?"
"The ANBU, several jonin, and the sandaime are looking all over the place for. Where are you? "Asked a similarly sounding Sasuke.
"We're somewhere safe. I can't tell you where though. It's a safe place that only I know where."
Fair enough. When do you think you'll be back?
"Shouldn't be too long now, sensei's resting right now, when he's ready we'll eat and come back how long have we been gone for?"
"You've been gone for over seven hours!" grumbled Sasuke disproval and worry thick in his voice.
Wow. Kakashi and her sure had been going at it for some time. Doing the math she realized it was somewhere in the evening over where the others were. "What on earth could the two of you have been doing for so long?!" Sakura muttered too with worry.
"Endurance training?" It wasn't really a lie, they just weren't training during their endurance.
"In any event, come back quickly. We used the cover story you told us earlier about what we had been doing but they wanted to scan our memories. We refused and said we would wait till the two of you get back. What now?" Sasuke demanded and Naruto knew he had tired bags underneath his eyes.
Naruto felt a slight ache in her head as she thought about it. She could always alter their memories with the kotoamatsukami it would be hard but doable. "I can do something about that, but when I do I need you guys to have your eye closed. It's a clan secret." Again not a lie, she merely omitted the detail it was an Uchiha clan secret.
They both agreed to do so and went back to their reality. Sighing she gently poked Kakashi's cheek, causing him to grumble and burrow further into her thighs. She laughed at his childish antics and spoke, "We're needed back in Konoha, koi. We can't stay here forever."
"I can't look anyone in the eye. I can't look you in the eye. I'm a terrible, childhood stealing, man who deserves a good Chidori through the chest." he grumbled burrowing further into her thighs.
She mentally sighed, this was something she had hoped to avoid. "Kakashi, I never had a childhood. You have not robbed me of it. I may be physically thirteen but mentally I'm twenty-one." She gently raised his head to make him look at her, "You did nothing to deserve a Chidori through the chest. I wanted this, I needed this. You got rid of my pain. No one else could have done that. I don't care if you've marked me. It makes me happy, I had missed your mark on me and now I feel whole again. Please don't feel bad koi." There were tears in her eyes yet she refused to allow them to fall. It would simply cause him to fall further in his self-loathing. Lowering her head, she planted small kisses down his scar to his mouth, giving him a gentle kiss, hoping he could feel her through it. She ran her hand through his hair one last time before moving to his neck and bareback, "Really koi, we're needed back in Konoha. If you let me move a bit, I can make us something to eat and we can head back. Or would you rather have a soldier pill and eat when we get home?"
Wrapping his hands around her waist he pressed his nose to the mark, "We'll have a soldier pill, go home, do what needs to be done and eat dinner. Do you think you can get up on your own?" She hated to admit it, but Kakashi really had drained quite a lot of her energy and made quite a few muscles sore. Shaking her head, he gave her a small smile as he gathered their discarded clothing.
Once they were both fully dressed and equipped Kakashi helped Naruto hide the love marks he had left on her as well as the mating mark. Naruto, with some help, managed to walk straight and when they were sure no one would figure out what they had been doing they hiraishined to Sasuke. Thankfully he was only with Sakura at Naruto's apartment. As soon as they arrived, their two teammates asked question after question about what they had been doing, where they were, what they would do and how to not get in trouble with the sandaime.
"Well basically, I designed, more of stole and retweaked this seal I found in the Uzumaki archives in my parent's home. It was used on harmless trespassers to change their memories but they would completely forget their original memory. I changed it so the person would remember the original memory but no one but themselves could access it. So even if Inoichi tried to see the original he would only see the memory I plant there. If you guys agree, I'll use that." She said and Kakashi and she sat down, Kakashi on the armchair and her on the armrest.
"When you said you wanted us to close our eyes I thought you were going to use a genjutsu or something." Replied Sakura, as she furrowed her brows.
Nodding her head Naruto continued, "I was going to use a genjutsu but if they went through your head when I wasn't there then we'd be in trouble. This way, even if I'm all the way in Iwa, what they see will be what I put there."
Nodding Sakura decided to make them all tea as they discussed a new training regime that would work around the chunin exams. Naruto made comments on questions she had seen during her first exam and made sure to point out that Ibiki enjoyed toying with people's minds. She also stated that if they were given Anko as a proctor, to pack for several days.
Not long after they had finished their tea she got on with the memory altering seal. The new memory went as such; Kakashi made a clone and had a spar with it as it took the form of Shisui Uchiha. They had sparred together against Sasuke and Sakura and won. They then went against each other which was when Naruto came and used her tails around both of them. Kakashi then dispersed the clone as Naruto kept muttering about something when the attack came and she activated her defense. The others had arrived roughly that time and attacked with jutsu causing Kakashi to take her in his arms, to make sure she didn't get hurt.
They all praised her for her idea, which was when she stated it had been Kakashi's idea as it had been a seal which was used after the war and during his time in ANBU. It took over an hour to do this to all three of them, using a lot of chakra and concentration on Naruto's part and on their own. It wasn't easy to have her presence in their minds due to her mind hosting ten people technically. Once it was done she was very hungry and decided they should all go to Ichiraku ramen, her there Naruto only managed to eat a single bowl of ramen before the team was summoned to the Hokage.

Sarutobi watched with Ibiki Morino as Inoichi scanned the minds of team 7. He had been overly shocked when he had heard the news of Shisui no shunshin being in Konoha so one could only imagine his surprise when he went with them only to see Naruto with all nine tails out. Kakashi had never mentioned the girl going in one tail form never mind nine and she seemed to be in control of what was happening.
He assumed the reason the copy ninja had not told him was that he knew for certain there was no threat to Konoha however when he had taken her into his arms and gone after that for several hours he assumed it was something different. He had growled at them as well, and from what he and his ninja had seen, Naruto was spending a lot of time at Kakashi's home rather than her own. He prayed to his sensei's Kakashi wasn't bedding his own sensei's daughter however when the team had arrived he knew it was a lost hope.
The man looked about ready to tear the guard's arm off when he had placed a hand on Naruto's arm in order to direct her to where she was going. He wasn't even paying any attention to his book which usually had all of his attention, instead, it was out and he was looking at Naruto. He contemplated whether or not he should stop this before it becomes more yet once again his idea showed no fruit as when she discarded her jacket he caught a glimpse of the Hatake clans mating mark on her shoulder through her mesh shirt.
Coming out of his musings Inoichi came in and spoke, "All four of their memories are roughly the same, with the difference of angles and thoughts. I can find no lie and everything adds up. Shisui Uchiha was simply a shadow clone of Kakashi henged. They sparred and Naruto came using the nine tails chakra to subdue them. We were there for the rest. There is no threat from Naruto as he had full control over the chakra even though the nine tails was controlling the tails at the time to defend him."
"Thank-you Inoichi. Please write this report and put it on my desk straight away. Did you by any chance see what was going on after that?"
"Sasuke and Sakura simply went as we know, they ate and went to Naruto's home. Kakashi and Naruto's thoughts I could not enter. The nine tails forbade me from doing so."
Hiruzen nearly dropped his pipe at the statement, "What was the nine tails doing in Kakashi's mind?"
"I asked the same thing when Naruto appeared stating there was a seal on all members that allowed them to go in each other's minds, this extended to the nine tails as well." He nodded his head and decided Naruto and Kakashi both had to come to his office and debrief him on everything.
He had though Kakashi would tell him anything he needed to know that was apparently not the case, however since Naruto was his mate it only made sense he didn't want to tell other people about what goes on between them. Team 7 made their way out when he greeted them, telling the couple to go to his office with him as he needed to have a private word, causing the blonde to groan stating she wanted to eat. Having mercy he ordered a chunin to go bring several bowls of Ichiraku ramen and bring them to his office. They could talk and eat.
Naruto and Kakashi sat on the chairs across from their kage as he took a poof of his pipe. "Kakashi. When I assigned you to team 7 I gave you a mission, please tell Naruto and myself that mission."
"You wished me to confide in Naruto, gain her trust and be an ear for her reveal her secrets. Should these secrets affect Konoha's safety I was to inform you otherwise the rest stayed between the two of us." Kakashi looked to Naruto who gave him a small smile causing him to smile back slightly.
It was that that showed Hiruzen the extent on their feelings and knew no matter what he did, nothing would change between the two of them, "How long have the two of you been mated for?"
This question caused the Copy ninja to turn to his kage, wide-eyed and Hiruzen would bet he was also blushing a similar shade to Naruto, "Damn you and your perceptiveness, old man." Muttered Naruto as she rubbed the mark on her neck.
The action caused Kakashi to groan as he picked her up, placing her on his lap as he gave the part of her she had been rubbing a kiss. "So I can safely assume you haven't been mated for very long. Should I leave the room? I would prefer you didn't do anything in my office." His question caused Naruto to laugh loudly as Kakashi smiled at her, eyes watching her in adoration.
"You called us here for a reason, old man." She looked him in the eye, her smile dimming slightly yet its usual brightness.
"Kakashi. Did you not feel it was necessary to tell me that the nine tails can access everyone's thoughts? Or that Naruto could derive its power?"
He saw Naruto stiffen on Kakashi's lap so he began to run a hand up and down her back unconsciously, "Not at all lord third. You specifically stated that I was to inform you when the safety of Konoha was at risk. As Naruto can control the nine tails, there were no possible threats to our home."
Hiruzen kept his shock under check. He hadn't heard Kakashi call Konoha his home since before his father had killed himself. He also hid his joy for had finally found someone to cherish even if it was a 13-year-old girl who was technically under his protection. and Naruto really needed to get out of the open and soon. Preferably with Kakashi.
He dismissed the two, informing them he would call upon them if he needed to know anything else.
