He does!

"Onward! Go go go!" Naruto heard booming through the streets.

As he approached where he had left Mibuki and Sakura, he saw... Kurenai and Konohamaru. Though it was definitely an interesting sight.

Konohamaru was getting what seemed like a piggy back ride from Kurenai, and they were rushing towards the Hokage's mansion.

"That's... Weird..." Naruto mused aloud. Unfortunately, he didn't realize this was all his doing. A certain young upstart had learned that he could control others as well. Naruto just hadn't realized this yet.

So.. he shrugged it off and returned to where he had left Mibuki and Sakura.
