Naruto watched as from the back a large, bigger than Jiraiya tall, man walked out from the back with long silver hair that was tied back into a pony tail and draped over his form. He wore a black kimono over the rippling muscles Naruto could tell were under the clothes. But it was the eyes that had Naruto's attention. One was pure green, the other a pure blue. Naruto could tell this man was a warrior.
"Tomoe Sanosuke." He said, offering Naruto one large and scarred hand. Naruto gladly shook it, the man looked him in the eyes and the blonde couldn't see any distaste, "Come to the back, we'll get you outfitted. Anything in particular you need?"
"Get him something nice, something that can be formal with a few additions to it, but semi-formal as well." Mikoto said. "Also, make it out of some nicer materials but keep it sturdy and give him plenty of room to hide his gear in it just to be on the safe side."
Sanosuke rubbed his face a bit. "Alright, I think we can do that. Come on." Sanosuke led Naruto back into the back of the shop where there was more privacy for fitting purposes.
Naruto looked around and stepped up onto the platform that Sanosuke asked him to. Naruto wasn't sure what to talk about as the man moved around him a little bit.
"So who is the lucky girl that you're getting some new clothes for? One of the four outside?" Sanosuke wasn't going to judge that the blonde was in the company of four hot women, maybe even dating one of them.
"No, my classmate Hyuuga Hinata, I have a date with her sometime soon hopefully." Naruto said as he watched Sanosuke circle him.
Sanosuke had heard of the Hyuuga girl. He supplied her cousin with his clothes. "Well good on you." Sanosuke said. "Alright, strip down to your boxers; I need to get some measurements." He got some measuring tape out of a pocket
Naruto did as he was asked and stood relatively still as the tailor made quick work of measuring. Naruto hoped what he got was awesome. "Could… could what I get have a small amount of orange? Not a whole lot but just some."
Sanosuke nodded thinking a little bit as he moved away and began to hold up some blue fabric to Naruto's face, judging the color on his eyes. "Alright, get dressed. I should have it done in a few days." Sanosuke was the best at making clothes by hand and he had written down every measurement he could think of for the blonde.

Naruto hopped off the platform and quickly got dressed once more, about to move to leave.
"Wait one second." Sanosuke said, moving down a few shelves, tapping a few boxes. "I have something here I want to give you. It was… for a friend of mine. I did a lot of work on his clothes and I had made him something special but he passed before I could give it. You remind me a lot of him." Sanosuke pulled out a sizeable box and took it over to Naruto.
Naruto accepted the box and peeled off the lid, looking down at the crimson fabric. He drew it out of the box and looked at the trench coat. It had black cuffs and black hem work, along with the edges of the lapels being done in black. It was crimson in color, but along the back and bottom it had dark orange flames.
Sanosuke leaned against the counter a bit. "I made the coats for the Yondaime Hokage." He said with a hint of pride. "This was to be the ultimate of my crafts. It is made of the highest quality of silk from the Aburame's most coveted stock. Generations of breeding of silk worms accumulating over five years, carefully bred to produce the best, fed only the best ingredients and fine chakra, this silk was near impossible to get." Sanosuke didn't even bother saying how he got it; he would respect the Aburame in not saying how he got access to it. "It's as strong as steel, unable to be pierced even by a crossbow bolt, but so very light as to not burden the wearer. If it ever gets damaged, just channel chakra into it and it will absorb any impurities such as dirt, blood, sweat, sand, etc. while at the same time fixing any tears, gashes or fraying. Fighting in a coat is a little difficult, so I would recommend holding off on it for a few months."
Naruto listened to Sanosuke's words before he carefully folded up the coat and placed it back in the box. "I can't accept this.' Naruto said. It had to be worth Sanosuke's weight in gold.
"You can and you will." Sanosuke said sharply. "I want you to have this Naruto." Sanosuke knew of his name, most merchants knew of the 'Demon Brat' though Sanosuke and his wife never thought of him like that. "The coat is meant to be an intimidation factor and it will keep you alive."
Naruto looked down to the box in his hand before looking to Sanosuke's multicolored eyes. He finally nodded his head; he would accept the coat then. "What about shark skin or fire?" Naruto asked. "Would either of those damage the coat?"
Sanosuke shrugged. "Possibly, though all you need is enough of a patch to channel chakra into as well as time." The silk could only grow so much at once.
Naruto nodded his head. "Thank you Sanosuke-san." He said and bowed his head a little bit. He was surprised when a rough hand clapped his head.
"Don't worry about it, now go on back outside. I got work to do."
