Well it's a surprise," Naruto said with another foxy grin. "I'm gonna need you to hold on tight, and close your eyes."
"W-Why?" Temari asked slightly confused.
"Do you trust me?"
Temari blinked at Naruto before she nodded. Temari closed her eyes, and she gripped onto Naruto tighter. There was a bright flash, and for a few seconds she felt completely weightless.
"Dammit where did they go?" Gaara said to himself as he stood in his office.
"Okay you can open your eyes." Temari heard Naruto's voice say.
When Temari opened her eyes she had no idea where she was.
"Where are we?" Temari asked as she tried to figure out where they were.
"We're in Konoha." Naruto said causing Temari's head to snap to face him.
"How the hell are we all the way in Konoha?" She asked completely stunned.
"I figured out how to use my father's Hiraishin jutsu. So now as long as I have something or someone tagged with a special seal, I can teleport right to them."
Naruto grinned when he saw Temari's stunned face. "I secretly placed a seal on all the girls so I could be at their side in a moments notice."
"W-Wow." Temari breathed out as she looked at Naruto with a new perspective. "But why did you bring us to Konoha?"
"I figured you might like to relax in Konoha's famous hot springs." Naruto said as he gestured to a building behind them.
Temari squealed when she saw the building. She could already feel the water melting away all her stress. But then a thought came to her, and she narrowed her eyes.
"Naruto Uzumaki, is this some way for you to peep on me." Temari said in a upset tone.
"Of course not Temari-chan, I would never stoop to peeping."
Temari just continued to stare at Naruto.
"Okay fine! I may have kinda peeped when I was younger," Naruto said as he rubbed the back of his head. "But I know never to peep on a kunoichi, especially one as strong as you."
Temari relaxed slightly and crossed her arms.
"Alright, but I swear to Kami if I catch you peeping I'll beat your ass so bad not even Tsunade-sama can heal you."
"Message understood," Naruto said with a gulp. "Now come on I rented out the entire place, so it should just be us."
"Wow that must have been expensive." Temari said as they walked into the building.
"Yeah it was, but I'm very good at saving my money. So I have a decent amount of money saved up from doing missions."
Temari just nodded as they both separated to go to their changing rooms.
"AH! This is nice, isn't it Temari-chan?" Naruto said as he sunk into the warm water. He rested his head against the barrier separating the men's side from the women's side.
"Yeah this is the life!" Temari replied as she too rested her head against the barrier as she sunk into the relaxing water.
They both sat in comfortable silence as they let the water soak away their stress. While she relaxed, Temari's mind wandered and she started to think about the man in the springs right behind her.
She had seriously misjudged the blonde baka. He was pretty much everything she could ever want in a man, and then some. But she still didn't know if she was fully ready to commit to another relationship.
However she was willing to give Naruto a chance, who knows maybe he was the 'one' she was searching for. All the other girls with Naruto seriously seemed happy to be with him.
"H-Hey Naruto?" Temari asked breaking the silence.
"Yeah Temari-chan."
"I wanted to thank you." Temari said her face stained with a blush.
"What are you thanking me for?" Naruto asked in a confused tone.
"For everything," Temari said as she tried to calm her racing heart. "Especially for everything you've done for my family."
"Are you talking about what I did for Gaara?" Naruto asked as he laughed lightly. "You don't need to thank me. I'm happy to have helped Gaara."
"No Naruto, I do need thank you," The Suna kunoichi said as she clutched a hand over her fluttering heart. "You dragged Gaara out of the darkness, and showed him the importance of love and having friends.
If it weren't for you I shudder to think of what Gaara may have become."
"Like I said before I was happy to help," Naruto said causing a smile to spread across Temari's face. "Gaara was a jinchuriki like me, and I understood his pain better than just about anyone.
Since we both shared the same pain, I knew what Gaara needed to see the light. I knew that if Gaara understood the power of love and the importance of having friends that he could escape his darkness.
Now Gaara is one of my closest friends, I would give my life to protect him, or any of my precious people."
Temari fought back tears as she listened to Naruto speak.
"T-Thank you Naruto." Temari said quietly as she chocked back a sob.
"Hey are you alright Temari-chan?" Naruto asked slightly concerned. "You want a hug?"
"Yeah a hug would be...NO WAY YOU PERV!" Temari yelled as her face flushed with embarrassment.
Naruto burst out laughing from behind the barrier.
"HA! I knew that would take your mind off what we were talking about," Naruto said as he sunk deeper into the water.
"Now just relax Temari-chan, we still have this place all to ourselves for another hour. So we can just sit back and talk about something else."
Temari crossed her arms and huffed.
"I will get you back for that Naruto Uzumaki." Temari said making Naruto laugh again.
"I'll be looking forward to it."
After another hour Naruto and Temari exited the hot springs and met out front of the bathhouse.
when he met Temari out front.
"Yup!" Temari said as she grabbed Naruto's arm.
