"Yep, I haven't gotten Sakura-chan a ring yet, but I asked her to marry me today and she said yes." Naruto grinned as he played along.

"Well that's great! I'm assuming you're going to say no to the mission then?"

"I finally got Sakura to agree to marry me, what do you think?"

"Alright alright." Tsunade chuckled. "I'll let Shion now. Sakura, why don't you walk me out?"

"Sure Tsunade-sama." Sakura happily chirped. She was relieved Naruto played along, now he would be her personal little dog for the rest of their lives. As soon as she stepped out of Naruto's apartment, Tsunade shut the door behind her.

"I know what's really going on."

"What do you mean?" Sakura innocently asked.

"I could smell your feet on his face when I was healing his nose, and I noticed that one of my slavery contracts was missing. You've made Naruto into your foot slave."

"I...Err..." Sakura stammered as she tried to come up with some sort of explanation.

"Relax, I'm not going to stop you." Tsunade sighed. "At least not now... This should actually be good for Naruto. Being under your control will teach him discipline and respect. But, don't think for a second that I'm not going to make you go through with this. You agreed to marry him, so you and Naruto are going to get married."

"What? But..."

"No buts. He doesn't deserve to have his hopes dashed like that, and it would cause a huge problem if the Demon Country found out we lied to you. It could start an international war. So that all being said, I'm going to give you one chance to get out of this. Are you really prepared to marry Naruto? Because if you're not, then I will send him on that mission. He'll be happy with Shion."

Sakura's eyes were wide as she stared at Tsunade. She was being forced to either make a commitment to a man she wasn't in love with, or lose her pet dog forever.

"And one more thing... I will not tolerate any unfaithfulness if you marry Naruto. So don't think you can agree then just go cheat on him with whoever you want. And don't think you can do it behind my back, I'll always be watching and if I ever catch you being unfaithful to your husband I will make you into my foot slave... And I'm not a very nice Mistress."

Sakura gulped. She had to choose if having Naruto beneath her feet for the rest of their lives was worth marrying him.

"Well Sakura?"
