Eroninja - Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Target Yakumo




Naruto awoke to the pleasant sensation of having his cock being tongue bathed. Cracking his eyes open he saw Anko and Kiyomi both crouched on all fours on either side of him while working together to pleasure him. Although it was a scene many men would die to be a part of, Naruto felt a small pang of fear since after dispelling his clones and despite being dead tired his body had still sprung an erection from the mental feedback of his clones’ experiences. But since all his lovers had been just as worn out he had no way to get rid of it except through his own efforts and he had been just too tired to do it. Fearing that using his K-clones in such a way had resulted in one of the side effects he had seen warn about in advertisements for certain pills for men with erectile dysfunction. Knowing that a person should see a doctor if he experienced an erection for more than four hours his eyes immediately sought out one of the medics in his harem but he need not have bothered as Tsunade said, “Don’t worry. Those two teased it awake hoping you’d follow.”

Naruto began to sit up but as he did so Tsunade moved behind him before pulling him back down to rest his head against her naughty pillows. All the while the two women pleasuring him continued, leaving the blond in amazement that one of his dreams had literally become a reality. His focus was pulled away from the two bathing his manhood in their saliva by Tsunade saying, “Relax, today you’re on light duty.” Naruto nodded with a small amount of relief as although his body healed quickly even he was rather sore and felt what he was currently experiencing was about the extent he would be comfortable with.

“What time is it?” he asked still feeling sleepy now that initial shock of pleasure from the light double blowjob was leaving his system.

Tsunade played with his hair watching the two women as they seemed to practically worship the stick that had given them so much pleasure the night before. Shaking herself from the temptation to join in she replied, “Early, but I’m afraid today is going to be a busy day so it can’t be helped. We have a lot of fires that need to be put out but first I think it would be best if we all know where we stand on the thing that set all of this in motion.”

Naruto was confused but apparently his lovers knew what to expect as Shiho got off of the pillowed ledge that extended around the room and was where his clones had pleased the women that had not joined him on the bed. Completely naked, she came to a stop at the center of the chamber before smiling nervously. Naruto remembering how immodest she had been the night before due to the memories of the clone she had been with chuckled as he supposed at the time she doubted anyone was really paying attention to her. But now she appeared rather nervous since she had the room’s undivided attention as she said, “I’ve translated the scroll. Well actually I did a couple of weeks ago…but I felt it prudent to wait until everyone could hear it. I already told what it contained to Tsunami and Karin since they needed to get back to Wave. Since… well almost everyone is here I figured now is as good a time as ever.”

Naruto felt his mood drop since he knew the kunoichi was referring to Ino, but pushed it aside to focus on Shiho as she began to say, “The scroll was written in the final days of the Kingdom of Zu.”

“Should we have heard of it?” Koharu asked sitting on the edge of the platform completely naked but still giving off a stately presence as she sat with her legs crossed.

“Not really,” Shiho said looking over her shoulder, “It was an extremely small kingdom located in Hot-Water Country’s current border.” Turning to face Naruto she said, “It’s important to us though as that was the birthplace of the Temptation’s Touch and The Binding. The scroll was written almost sixty years after those jutsu’s creation and tells the story of one of the first women to be enticed by it.”

Tayuya, whose entering the room had prompted Anko and Kiyomi to begin waking Naruto with the blowjob and which was continuing still, said, “You’re saying it’s basically her biography then.”

Shiho shook her head in the negative before answering, “You could consider it her last will and testament. It was written after it became apparent that the Zu Kingdom was finished. The man who had used the jutsu on her had died in battle facing the threat that imperiled his kingdom. What that threat was the scroll is a little vague on as it focuses on the threat that was facing the Zu kingdom sixty years before, The Gelel Empire.”

Naruto sat a little straighter forcing Anko and Kiyomi to adjust their positions to continue in their efforts to get their morning protein shake. With a small hitch in his voice from the pleasure he was feeling he asked, “You mean that Kingdom those nomads that were guarding the stone are descended from.”

Shiho nodded saying, “Kingdom doesn’t exactly fit what Gelel was though. They were on verge of conquering the entire continent. Their territory covered all of what are modern Wind, Fire, and most of Earth Country. Their force which was called the Hollow Army was all but invincible.”

Temari who was lying on her side resting her head on her fist, asked, “Why was it called that?”

“I’m not sure where the name came from,” Shiho admitted, “Although it is likely tied to the process by which the army was created, it didn’t explain all the mechanics of the process only highlighted how the army was unstoppable. Although to be honest I felt it was likely just hyperbole.”

“What if they were truly unable to be killed?” Naruto asked recalling the armored force that Haido had used in his search for the ancient mine of the Gelel Stone.

“What do you mean?” Yugito said wearing the ruined Cat Suit that she had rented and would likely own due to the stains it now sported.

“He means the suits of armor that we encountered during the Gelel incident four years ago,” Sakura said thinking along the same lines as Naruto. “But they weren’t invincible Naruto. Sure they could take a lot of damage, but eventually the life force powering them would be exhausted.”

Naruto nodded letting out a little groan as Anko began to lick the head of his cock as Kiyomi concentrated on his balls. Shaking his head at the absurdity of how blessed he was as well as to refocus his thoughts he said, “True, but they took all that damage from Jutsu hundr…”

“Thousands,” Shiho said cutting in and correcting him.

“…thousands of years after the means to create them was invented.”

“I don’t know,” Temari said sitting up in interest, “The machine those Armors came from seemed pretty modern.”

“Haido may have simply automated the process,” Koharu suggested. Directing her gaze to Temari she asked, “I take it Suna began some research into creating invincible soldiers of their own.”

Temari nodded, feeling a little uncomfortable about giving up secrets on her home, but committed to Naruto’s ambition and her own feelings for her fellow blond said, “Yes, but this all happened before Gaara became Kazekage. Also, Suna’s interests laid more with the transformations Haido and his lieutenants were capable of. From the autopsy of the woman Gaara killed we learned it was linked to the shards of stone imbedded in her body.”

“So then why was there all that interest in the machines that were used to create the Hollow Army?” Matsuri asked having needed to catalog many of the captured items from Haido’s brief assault on Wind Country.

Temari smiled at the girl remembering how inquisitive she had been at the time and upset at her lack of clearance as the older kunoichi had responded to her questions with, “That’s classified.” Focusing on Naruto she said, “Haido used volunteers he had conned on his home continent to supply the souls necessary for his army. The volunteers would reside in a sphere and would rest atop of a glass ball. Inside each of those balls was a shard of Gelel stone. Those balls amplified the shards power and bound the soul to a seal located inside the armor. It’s likely that thousands of years ago The Gelel Empire could use whole chunks of rocks to power this bonding process making it a more permanent transfer.”

“I see,” Koharu said, “You took the shards from the machines you captured to further your experiments in how to create those second forms Haido and his enforcers were capable of.”

“That was the plan,” Temari said with a smirk, “But when Gaara was made Kazekage he shut the project down.” A full blown smile appeared as she added, “He did that by destroying all the shards and machines we had collected.”

“I imagine the council was less than pleased by his decision,” Tsunade said with no small measure of amusement.

“I believe it’s one of the reasons Joseki is so opposed to Gaara,” Temari said but paused as Naruto groaned before he erupted and coated the two women pleasing him in his seed. She squeezed her thighs together feeling herself getting aroused but concentrating on finishing her tale said, “It was his pet project. I believe he’s never forgiven Gaara for taking away his means of avenging himself against Konoha and Iwa from him.”

Everyone remained silent except for Kiyomi and Anko as they made a great show of cleaning themselves of Naruto’s essence. Shiho though tried to ignore them as she said, “That would explain a great deal of why the Prince created The Temptation’s Touch and The Binding.”

“The Prince,” Shizune asked confused.

“That’s what I call him,” Shiho explained turning to the medic, “I’m still having trouble with some of the names and places. Therefore I’ll call them by the role they have in the tale. The woman whose story the scroll tells I’ve taken to calling the Priestess.”

Naruto sat back into Tsunade again and closed his eyes as Shiho began to layout the tale. Listening raptly and letting his imagination run wild as he heard her say, “The Priestess was a newly minted member one of the three ruling castes of the Gelel Empire. She was from the religious caste. The other two were the warrior and noble.”

Naruto opened his eyes as Anko and Kiyomi moved to either side of him and hugged him tightly. Kissing both women gently he again closed his eyes to listen although he imagined Kiyomi as the woman Shiho was calling the Priestess. He reasoned that if the Prince was trying to save his home then at some point his and the Priestess must have had a rather adversarial relationship. Shiho continued, “Each caste had some connection to the stone that gave Gelel the edge in its conflicts. The nobles could control it to some extent, but their true claim to power was that they were masters of the jutsu that could destroy the mine. The Warriors were able to harness the power of the stone to transform their bodies in order to increase their power.” Shiho paused and adjusted her glasses, when she was about to speak she appeared to have lost her place in her story so ran back to where she had been sitting earlier. She began searching for something as she threw the pillows about until exclaiming, “Ah, found it.” Turning around to face Naruto she began flipping through the pages of the notebook she was holding. Adjusting her glasses again she said, “To be honest I got the feeling that the Religious cast was the newest of the three.”

“Why do you say that?” Tsunade asked as she continued to stroke her lover’s hair lovingly.

“Well it isn’t explicitly said, but the Religious caste was responsible for performing certain ceremonies and the Priestess was only like the third or fourth generation. However my research showed that the Gelel Empire had existed for centuries before its collapse.”

Yuugao, who although naked was standing near the door in a relaxed but prepared manner said, “I take it this tale tells of Gelel’s downfall as well then.”

“Yes,” Shiho said with a nod to the woman before turning her head back to Naruto, “As I was saying the Religious Caste was in charge of certain ceremonies, one of which was overseeing and blessing the spoils of Gelel’s conquests. This was a cover of sorts although the Priestess didn’t know that at the time. Like I imagine most people in her position would be she was proud and arrogant. She also was a true believer that the gods had blessed her people with the Hollow Army to spread Gelel’s teachings across the globe.” Shiho smiled as when she had first translated the tale she had pictured the hero of it, The Prince, to be her lover. She imagined quite a few of her fellow harem members were doing the same and although she had originally cast herself as the Priestess now saw herself as a character yet to be introduced. “During the blessing ceremony the religious caste would divvy up the spoils as it were. This included the people brought back as slaves and that is where she met the Prince.”

Shiho paused as several of the women adjusted their positions as their interest peaked. When they had settled in again she continued, “The Prince had allowed himself to be captured during the fall of a neighboring country in order to use the technique he had created to try and destroy Gelel from the inside before they could target his home of Zu. It was likely the next target since the country that had buffered Zu from Gelel was the one that had just fallen.”

“How could he be sure that he would be placed in a position to do that?” Hinata asked.

Shiho turned to face the Hyuuga noble before answering, “I’m not sure if he was. But at the time Gelel was a rather opulent and indulgent society. What I mean by that is they enjoyed their physical pleasures to the extreme and the ruling castes would often take the most attractive slaves on as lovers. Basically there were four ways the conquered people were divided up. Personnel slaves for the ruling groups, slaves for the overseers of the Gelel mines who also served as the Noble Castes enforcers, fighters for the gladiatorial games, and finally a group that only the leaders of religious caste new what happened to after the ceremony. The Prince was described as being incredibly handsome so probably figured he’d end up in one of the noble houses as a personal slave. The Priestess writes that he was an accomplished fighter as well so would likely have been okay if he ended up as a gladiator and could still influence one of the noble women since they often took lovers from the Pits.”

“The Pits,” Naruto asked in interest.

“That is what they called the arena where the gladiators fought,” Shiho said. “The most prominent gladiators would often be visited at night by noblewomen looking to fulfill a fantasy or two.” Taking a breath, Shiho paused to let the others digest some of the information she had already shared before continuing, “The Priestess was immediately infatuated with the Prince, but tried to ignore it feeling he was below her. Her mother who was a highly placed leader in the Religious caste noticed though so arranged for the Prince to become one of their slaves.”

Shiho paused again as she prepared to introduce the character she saw herself as. Picking up her story she said, “After bringing home their acquisitions the Priestess immediately headed to her room where she confided in her long-time servant who had been with her since they both were children about how upset she was by what her mother had done. I guess she didn’t know how to process the feelings he aroused in her. It made her question the feelings for the man she had been pledged to marry a cruel man I call the Warrior.”

“If he’s such a bastard why the fuck would the Priestess love him?” Tayuya asked feeling horribly overdressed considering the lack of clothes the other women had on.

Shiho looked towards the red-head before answering, “I may have gotten ahead of myself a bit. To her and her people he was a great hero. He was a great man and treated her very kindly but much like the Gelel Empire beneath the surface was a sinister truth. In his case he was merely using her to fulfill his ambition of uniting the Religious and Warrior caste against the Noble. It was his belief that the Nobles were garnering the greatest amount of wealth for the least effort since he believed they had essentially lucked into the mine that housed the Gelel Stones. The Warriors were the ones that fought and bled and it was the Religious Caste that supplied the Hollow Army.”

“The Religious caste,” Yugito said surprised, “Then that fourth group of slaves was…”

Shiho nodded, “The souls used to create the hollow suits of armor that were the key to Gelel’s success in battle.” Picking her story back up Shiho said, “The Priestess’s personal servant a woman I took to calling The Maid assured her that the feelings would pass and that her mother had bought him since she knew from personal experience how empty an arranged marriage could be. The Priestess took her slave and friend’s words to heart but still was rather antagonistic towards the Prince as a way to deny her feelings. The Prince never seemed to let it get to him, but that made her all the more flustered especially as she noticed the Maid becoming closer to him.”

“Let me guess,” Tsume said with an amused smirk, “She was the first to become bound to him.”

“Yes,” Shiho answered, “As a personal long-time slave to the family she had far more freedom than any of the others. The Priestess and Maid were especially close and at times had even slept in the same bed, since although arrogant she did see her servant as more than a slave. But since the Prince entered their home she felt as if her friend was pulling away. One night she decided to confront her and saw the two of them in the act. Shocked she had retreated back to her room but wrote about how the images had continued to haunt her.”

Hana sat up next to her mother to ask, “Why not target the mother? Wouldn’t she make a more influential member of the Religious Caste to use The Binding on?”

“I believe the Prince intended too,” Shiho replied, “But the mother spent most nights away from the home. She was known for having many affairs and did little to hide them. Plus I guess she viewed the Prince as her daughter’s toy to play with or hoped he would prove to be an adequate replacement for her future husband.” Shiho paused and seeing the confused looks her last sentence had created said, “Sorry, I’m getting ahead of myself. But before we get to what I meant by that, the Priestess one night asked the Maid to spend the night with her. The Maid refused claiming she didn’t feel up to it, but the Priestess didn’t buy the excuse so stayed up. She caught them together again, and in her anger threatened to tell the guards and have them locked up in chains. This hurt the Maid who accused her of being a monster like the rest of her people after all. Hearing her closest friend call her that threw a bucket of ice water on her anger for a moment but then when it returned accused her servant of being an ingrate as she lived better than most of Gelel’s citizens.” Shiho paused to search through her notes and finding what she sought began again, “That is when the Prince stepped in. He pointed out that the Maid had never been given a choice since she had been taken as a slave when she was but a child. He explained that a cage no matter how pretty always remained a cage. The Prince then told her the secret of how the Hollow Army was made and that developing the technique that bound the souls to the armor with the power of the Gelel stones was how the Religious Caste came into being. He told her that all the comfort and wealth she was used to was due directly to all the suffering and death of free people from all over the continent. Naturally she tried to deny this, but the Prince took her to where the slaves chosen by the Religious caste became the Hollow Armor.”

Fubuki whose lap was serving as a pillow for her princess said, “Clever, he had been using the freedom his relationship with the Maid gave him to search out the secret of the Hollow Army.”

“That’s right,” Shiho said with a nod, “The Priestess was horrified by what she saw. But she then learned there was another secret being kept from her. Her fiancé and mother were seeing each other behind her back having formed an alliance to destroy the noble house.”

“I don’t get it,” Tenten said her head hanging back over the edge of the pillowed dais as she stared at the upside down Shiho, “If all the strength of the Gelel Empire was in the Warrior and Religious Castes then why sneak around. They should have been able to crush the nobles.”

Shiho was about to answer when Naruto said, “Because if they did it too brazenly and screwed up the Nobles would destroy the Stones and the source of their powers. They must have succeeded since the mine had been sealed but not destroyed.”

“Not quite,” Shiho said after a moment, “As you would expect, seeing her mother with the man she was supposed to marry as well as from the desire she had been fighting since meeting the Prince she ended up begging him to take her. She would later learn of the control he gained over her as a result and when she asked him why he didn’t just take what he wanted by force. He had explained he felt it was best if those who joined him did so at their own behest. That night she became one of his lovers and they began to plot the destruction of the Gelel Empire. They knew the thing they needed to set it about was for the Warrior to believe the Nobles Caste couldn’t activate the technique to destroy the stone. Therefore the next to join in the Prince’s revolt was a woman from the Noble Caste. She was a pacifist who often preached against the militaristic ways Gelel interacted with its neighbors.”

“After she came aboard as it were,” Shiho paused as a few of the women snickered at her pun she continued, “The next to join was a woman from the Pits. She was a top gladiator and they planned to use the slaves in the pits to take out whoever won in the conflict between castes. They set their plan in motion by having the Noble approach the Warrior. She offered to seal the mines to prevent any other nobles from entering and activating the Black Hole technique. The Warrior was suspicious since her desire for peace was well known, but she explained the Nobles were too greedy and so long as they held power peace would never win out. The Warrior accepted, but remained weary right up until the seal was in place. He gave the order to attack and planned to kill the Noble as well but was stopped by the Prince. As chaos erupted in Gelel’s capital the Prince explained how he had played the Warrior as a fool. The two battled in the cave as the fires of battle began to spread throughout the city. The Overseers of the mine a sub-clan loyal to the nobles kept interfering in the battle between the Warrior and Prince. In the end though, the Prince managed to kill the Warrior. He and his noble lover managed to escape the remaining overseers and left the seal in place to prevent anyone else from gaining access.”

Pausing Shiho rubbed her throat, but then caught a bottle of water which had been thrown by Yugito and had been stored in a one of the ice filled buckets around the room so the women and Naruto would remain hydrated during their night of love making. Drinking the contents, she sighed in contentment before saying, “Meanwhile the Priestess confronted her mother about the Hollow Army. The two argued over the ethicalness of it with the mother claiming that the people whose souls had been used were lower beings any way so didn’t matter. The Priestess realized that if not for the Prince she would have turned out the same way vowed to stop her mother from activating any more. After a battle the mother managed to activate several dormant Hollow Armors only to learn her daughter had modified the seals that removed the controls that kept them loyal. As you can imagine it didn’t end well for her. Without the Hollow Army to help the warriors had a much harder time dealing with the Overseers than they expected. In the end most of the nobles were killed, but the warriors suffered far more casualties than expected. That is when the Gladiator struck with her fellow slaves. The remaining warriors were slaughtered and when the dust settled Gelel’s capital was in ruins. With the head of the beast decapitated the other remaining kingdoms soon launched an assault which decimated the Gelel Empire. Zu did not participate as the Prince returned with his lovers to assume the throne and made them his queens. Over time Zu grew stronger and bigger which I suspect was due to the Temptation’s Touch and Binding. But it all ended when a mysterious army appeared. The elderly Prince rode out to meet the threat head on but was killed. Soon his country followed and his many lovers scattered to the winds. The Priestess remained in the capital sealing herself in the ruins where her scroll was found.”

“Thank you, Shiho,” Tsunade said with a small nod of her head as the kunoichi finished her tale, “Now let’s turn to…”

“Wait,” Naruto said stopping Shiho as he sat up in the bed pulling away from his lovers. Sitting at the edge of it he stared at Shiho studiously before asking, “How did Kanji learn the techniques? Were they listed in the scroll or did he somehow learn it from the story.”

“The means to learn the Temptation’s Touch were listed in the scroll. The Binding was what it was called when the woman targeted submitted so never was really explained by the scroll. This is why I think Kanji had no idea he could just force a woman to be with him in the beginning. But why does it matter?”

Naruto sat there for a moment before saying, “You said this scroll focused on the Priestess. While it mentioned his other lovers it probably didn’t go into much detail about them did it?” Shiho shook her head in the negative causing Naruto to say, “I thought as much.”

Tsunade crawled down the bed and pressing herself to his back asked, “My love what is it?”

“Shiho said it herself. His other lovers scattered to the winds,” Naruto said gravely, “What if each of them carried a scroll? Each detailing their history with the man that they were bound to, but which also listed how to learn his technique.”

“Why would they do that?” Yoruichi asked confused.

Koharu though was the one that answered saying, “To spite their enemies. You believe they knew who their enemies were?”

“I believe they had an idea,” Naruto answered the deaged elder, “Why else go to such lengths to protect their story. Plus if I’m guessing correctly much of Zu’s history was destroyed in its fall.”

Shiho nodded, “Yes, much of what I know was learned from that scroll. Whoever destroyed Zu was very thorough. Are you suggesting there are others out there capable of the Temptation’s Touch?”

“I don’t know…but there may be other scrolls.”

Tsunade pulled away from Naruto to get off the bed and moving to the center of the room said, “In any case I believe that is a matter for another time. While the idea is rather shocking… if there are other scrolls or masters of this jutsu they’ve been out there for years. So before we go worrying about them let’s focus on our own matters first.” The other women all nodded in agreement so Tsunade turned towards her lover and said, “Naruto with the details we’ve learned from the scroll as well as our own experiences I believe we have an excellent understanding of just how it works now.”

Naruto leaned forward in interest as did quite a few of his other lovers, although a few relaxed not caring how it did what it did. Tsunade waited till everyone was situated before beginning, “As you know you learned the jutsu by changing your chakra until it reached a specific frequency.”

“Yeah, it was really hard. I had to meditate for something like six hours or something,” Naruto said recalling the night he learned the Temptation’s Touch from the scroll Kanji gave him. “I knew I had done it though when after channeling chakra to my hand and placing it on water so many ripples were produced in a minute.”

“Ha,” Anko snorted from behind him causing Naruto to look over his shoulder. Seeing the question in his eyes she said, “It took Kanji something like eight months to do what you did. The journals I managed to take from his study were very enlightening.” Her eyes softened as she added, “They also listed his victims.”

Tsunade nodded before saying, “Which is why Kin is not in the village. She’s taking over Tayuya’s position by acting as a bounty hunter. For now though she’ll be looking in on those victims to see how they are readjusting to life.” When Naruto nodded at her statement she change tracks back to the previous subject as she said, “Now as you know when you direct your chakra into a target it causes a spike in arousal and desire. What you probably don’t though is that the arousal they feel is rather specific in that it focuses their attention on the one who used the jutsu.”

Tsunade grew a little worried when Naruto’s face grew pensive as she had debated with herself about adding that detail. Her worry spiked when he asked, “So you’re saying the women this jutsu is used against never really have a choi…o-o-OUCH!”

It disappeared to be replaced with a smile as Anko grabbed his ear and twisted it as she said, “She’s saying it focuses a person’s desires. But it doesn’t direct them at least in the low douses.”

“Precisely,” Tsunade said amused as Naruto and Anko bickered before focusing on her, “Remember how we experimented on Anko using it. Well when the number of hits Anko took grew too much and she snapped we learned about this homing feature since all she called for was you. We also learned about how the jutsu seemed to respond to your desire for her to regain her composer when you calmed her without sleeping with her, remember?”

Naruto nodded but asked, “Wouldn’t that seem to suggest thought that my desires to some extent…” He trailed off as he needed to fend off another attack to his ear from Anko.

Tsunade shook her head as she said, “No, she only calmed after you touched her. The reason being is that with your touch and desire for her to calm a signal was transmitted due to the small amount of chakra that is often transmitted through such means.”

“I didn’t know that chakra was transmitted that way,” Naruto said genuinely surprised.

“Not many people do,” Tsunade said with a smirk, “But it is one of the reasons why certain people’s touches are comforting while others would fill a person with disgust. I suppose Karin would be able to explain it best after all it was her ability that caused her to fall under your sway before she met you.”

“Huh?” Naruto said confused as he tilted his head in his old habit while he also squinted his eyes. “But I didn’t even touch her well until…”

“True,” Tsunade said when he trailed off, “but your chakra did. Think of a sensor as being like the sense of smell. In order to smell something the particles of that something need to enter your nose. This is why freshly cut grass has a scent whereas you’d have to get down on your knees to really notice it before. When Karin uses her abilities she in a sense samples the chakra and some of it enters her own system allowing her to get a reading of that. Therefore she experienced the Temptations Touch without you needing to consciously channel your chakra into her. Now before you begin to worry if you’re manipulating others just by touching them, Karin had needed to keep her ability active to track you. Therefore the Temptation’s Touch does require a constant application to take hold.” Naruto nodded so Tsunade continued, “But it isn’t something you can turn off either, which is how you ended up using it on Tayuya when you healed her.”

Naruto’s gaze shot to Tayuya, but she replied with a look that shouted if he tried to feel guilty about accidently using it on her then she’d kick his ass. Shivering slightly from the frosty look he asked, “Then do I have to worry about Sensor-nin?”

“Yes, although not for the reason you think. They won’t be able to tell what is happening exactly only that they are feeling aroused due to how good your chakra feels.” Tsunade looked at Tayuya before saying, “How did you put it? Ah yes like a warm sunny day. That is something we can all attest too.”

Naruto looked around the room and saw all his lovers beaming brightly at him. Focusing back on Tsunade he listened as she said, “Kanji’s on the other hand felt to both Anko and Tayuya like something slimly crawling under their skin. I wish Karin had been present during the raid as that could have provided some interesting data.”

“But wouldn’t she have fallen under his Temptation’s Touch?”

“Yes, although according to Tayuya she would have been immune from it. Apparently by becoming your lovers we are immune to others using the Temptation’s Touch. But it still remains to be seen if being with you makes us immune from the Binding being used against us.”

“I don’t understand aren’t they the same thing?”

Tsunade tried to think of a way to explain it in a way her lover would understand. Sakura though suddenly said, “Yes and no, much like how your Rasengan changes when you add your wind element. Structurally it’s the same jutsu, but far more potent. In this case it has to do with the angle of attack.”

“Huh?”

“What she means is that the Temptation’s Touch works from the outside in. The Binding works from the inside out. Think of it this way, the Binding is permanent because the kunoichi targeted has allowed you to inject your chakra into her most vulnerable spot. The Temptation’s Touch is something used to help get her to lower her defenses and if fails is meant to wear off with time. Hinata please show him what I mean.”

The Hyuuga stood moving to Tsunade and then activating her bloodline knelt in front of her. Staring at the Hokage’s stomach she said, “If you could see her chakra network you would see the center of it resides right here.” Hinata showed it by tracing her finger around Tsunade’s stomach in the spiral pattern where all her chakra originated.”

Tsunade sighed at the gentle touch before saying, “Do you understand? When we allowed you to cum inside of us you injected your chakra and seed into our wombs and like a virus it multiplies thus changing our chakra as well. Due to the homing principle we become bound to you thus giving you the ability to control us. This is also why our chakra changes color to reflect our feelings for you. In a sense it is reacting to the master virus to reflect just how much control, if any, is needed. Naturally the darker the feelings the more control a person would need to keep a person under the Binding’s sway in line.”

“A virus you say,” Naruto said causing Tsunade to curse herself for the choice of words due to its negative connotations. Before she could say anything however, he asked, “Is there a cure?”

“Naruto nobody here is worried about such a…”

“You’re right...nobody here.” Naruto paused as all of the women present understood he was referring to a certain blonde that although in the village was not with them at the moment. “But I am,” he said pushing past the sadness thoughts of Ino brought recently. Standing, he moved towards Tsunade due to her worried look and cupping her face said, “I’m not asking because I would want any of you to use it.” Smiling, he added, “I just spent several weeks worrying about whether or not your feelings for me were real or contrived through this jutsu.” His face grew serious though as he said, “However, what does worry me about this jutsu is me.” He could see many of his lovers were confused by his words so as he spoke he made sure to look at each of them while saying, “All of you have put your lives in my hands…but what if I change and no longer am worthy of them or your feelings.”

Hinata having remained near Tsunade stepped forward saying, “Naruto… don’t say such things.”

“But it needs to be,” Naruto said facing his lover giving her a small smile, “The road before us is a hard one and there is a possibility that by the end I might become something unrecognizable by you all. I need to know…”

“Stop talking like that shithead,” Tayuya shouted angrily looking like she was ready to deck him in the stomach again.

“He’s right though,” Yuugao said from her position by the door. Quite a few of the women looked at the Anbu captain like she was a traitor until she continued, “Think about it logically. If he did lose his way we wouldn’t be able to fight for him to return to his senses at our best because he could simple control our actions. Plus there is the real possibility that someone could use a jutsu to control him. There are forbidden puppet techniques in Suna that can allow a person to create a whole new identity for a person that falls under its sway. I doubt The Binding would recognize if Naruto is in his right mind or not.”

The others recognized the truth in her words and Tsunade finally said, “I’ll begin looking into it… I think the problem will be finding a volunteer though.”

Thinking of Ino, the jinchuriki replied, “Maybe not as hard as you think.”

Tenten took control of the meeting before thoughts of the missing blonde could distract them by saying, “Hey wait a minute. You said Naruto’s cum needed to reach our wombs before we’d fall under the Binding. But when we first had sex he came in my ass.”

“It was the same for me,” Koharu said with a blush.

“And he pulled out with me,” Yuugao said a second after the elder pushing off of the door to stand straighter.

“True, however Koharu and Yuugao you both had both been on the receiving end of the Temptation’s Touch before sleeping with him.” Directing her gaze to the elder she continued, “Koharu, you received a concentrated blast before submitting to Naruto.” The Hokage then turned her gaze on Yuugao saying, “Add you received small doses over the week that you were training with him.” An amused smile appeared on her face as she said, “Only Tenten hadn’t been on the receiving end of it before sleeping with him. As a result she never became bound to him until her return to Konoha.”

Tenten’s jaw dropped before shouting, “What!?”

“Well that’s my theory at least, although it seems to make the most sense,” Tsunade said her smile still in place. Turning to Naruto see explained, “Let’s use my example of calling these jutsu a virus. Now as you know a virus can have multiple ways of infecting a host. However that doesn’t mean they are all equally effective. Now both the Temptation’s Touch and Binding have but one goal to bind a woman to the man they sleep with. If the Binding is used correctly, in other words when a man cums inside of a woman’s womb it can bind a woman by itself. The Temptation’s Touch could possible due the same thing according to my theory but it would require the man to reach her womb from the inside.”

“Like fisting her,” Anko said having been researching some of the more extreme sex acts for her earlier encounter with Naruto that had ended disastrously. She noticed quite a few uncomfortable looks at the mention of the technique so looked down in embarrassment.

Although rather turned off at the mention of such a practice Tsunade said, “Exactly. Just as Sakura said it’s the angle of attack that matters here. Now the reason that matters is because the human body has created natural defenses against attacks from the outside. Deadly bacteria for example can live on a surface that a person touches daily but doesn’t become harmful until it enters the body.”

“But doesn’t the Temptation’s Touch channel chakra into a person?” Haku asked. “Once inside wouldn’t it be enough to bind a person.”

“Not by itself,” Tsunade said, “The reason for that is because it uses up a great deal of its strength bypassing our defenses such as our skin that by the time it enters us it can only really increase our arousal. When Naruto has anything but vaginal intercourse then you can simply say that he is simply using the Temptation’s Touch with his dick” Tsunade could see she was losing some of her audience primarily Naruto with her explanation so said, “Kin is the prime example of what I mean. She and Naruto have fooled around some and yet she has not been bound. But she has ingested some of your cum has she not?”

Naruto nodded so she continued, “Yet she has never been on the receiving end of the Temptation’s Touch which should mean that Tenten and Koharu should not have been bound because you had anal sex with them. However there was no doubt that in the morning after her being taken Koharu was bound to Naruto.”

Hana snapped her fingers saying, “You’re saying that the ground work was already laid by his using the Temptation’s Touch so he didn’t need to hit his mark exactly.”

“Preciously,” Tsunade said turning towards the Inuzuka, “That’s why Yuugao and Koharu were bound because as a result of his using the Temptation’s touch on them beforehand the Binding didn’t need to use up as much of its power before changing their chakra as they absorbed what seed he had deposited already. In Yuugao’s case his precum was likely enough even though he pulled out and in Koharu’s due to his using the Temptation’s Touch beforehand when her body absorbed the chakra changing elements of his cum they still packed enough of a kick that it reached her chakra network’s center.”

Tenten was still confused saying, “But… Naruto came inside my ass even in Konoha when I agreed to join his harem. You were there.”

Tsunade nodded her amused smirk returning as she closed with her newest apprentice. Placing her hand on the kunochi’s fox mark located on her thigh she said, “Indeed I was. Tell me Tenten after your first time with him how did you feel.”

“After I woke up and he explained his goal I felt angry.”

“So there wasn’t a feeling of warmth afterwards?”

Tenten shook her head in the negative before saying, “The first time I would say I felt something like that was…”

Tenten trailed off as her eyes grew large so the Hokage finished, “After that time with you, me, and him in the hotsprings correct. He had just deposited a large load in your ass and then you had him place his mark on you.”

“I…I thought it was because I could feel his…everyone else…”

“I don’t doubt that was part of it,” Tsunade said pulling away from the kunoichi, “But it was also because when he placed his mark on you he channeled his chakra into you and that coupled with the cum he had just deposited fully bound you to him.” Smirking she added, “All the frustration you felt in Wave wasn’t due to your being bound to him. But it was because you weren’t and were denying yourself some great sex along the way that your peers weren’t.”

Tenten nodded and was about to comment about how she was glad about having come around to experience the warmth the other women had described but Koharu cut in saying, “Now how about we move onto the pressing business of our ambition about to collapse in on itself.”

“What?” Naruto said surprised, “What’s going on?”

Koharu was the one that filled him in on Yakumo’s dire condition as well as the recent unrest in the Training Force that was made up of Konoha and Suna shinobi which was keeping the impending revolt brewing in the nearby prison in line, although most of its members were ignorant of that fact. Naruto took it all in before saying, “First we’ll help Yakumo, and then I’ll deal with the instigators in the Training Force.”

Although pleased at how confident he sounded Tsunade asked, “How? Yakumo is watched constantly. The only way we could even temporarily cure her would be by using the chakra wave again. Doing that could have Danzou asking questions that might point to us?”

Naruto nodded but was undeterred as he replied, “I know. Even using one large enough to cover the village would likely cause him to question the timing.” A large grin grew on his face as his gaze landed on Yoruichi while saying, “That’s why we need to think bigger.”

*****

Karin sighed internally but didn’t let it show on her face as a business man continued to make small talk with her. Looking around the room she could see the other men and women interested in purchasing the Whirling Tides Manor. Although the actual auction was still several days away the Mayor of Wave was holding the get together to feel out the various business leaders. She got the feeling he was doing it in hopes of preventing another Gato from showing up in his town. The mayor spotted her and nodded towards her holding up his glass in a gesture which she returned while keeping the smile she felt from her face. She had already met with the man several times before her return to Konoha to discuss Naruto’s withdrawal before coming back to Wave. “Excuse me,” she said when the man talking to her paused for a breath, “I need to freshen up.”

Making her way towards the bathroom to give the appearance that was where she was going she waited until the man began boring someone else before heading for the snack bar. “Man, this sucks,” Konohamaru said from behind her acting as her shinobi bodyguard while his teammates protected Tsunami during her return obviously moving much slower than Karin had needed to travel.

“His breath wasn’t all that pleasant either,” the red-head replied.

“Then why bother talking to him?”

“Information and disinformation naturally,” she replied with a smile getting the feeling she was talking to a copy of Naruto from several years in the past. “That’s all this gathering is after all. A chance for those interested to feel out the competition, take the man I was just talking to for example. His company sent him out here to see if there was any potential for the hotel. He sees some but isn’t willing to put too much on the line for it. Meanwhile I gave him the impression I wasn’t too sure either.”

“Why?”

“That way I can hopefully keep the bidding low and make it seem like I’m just trying to pick it up on the cheap but wouldn’t be too upset if I couldn’t.”

“I guess that makes some sense. But what if someone really wants it?”

“Then I play up the flaws the hotel has hoping that they see it as being too much of a hassle to bother with,” Karin said before shushing the young man’s next question due to several of her rivals being nearby. She stepped up to the table with all the refreshments and snacks. She smiled towards one of the rivals she had already talked to before searching the table for something to eat. She had just settled on what she wanted when a cultured voice said, “Excuse me but you wouldn’t happen to be the representative of the Great Tree Shipping Company would you?”

Karin turned to respond but found she had to crane her neck back due to the man’s height. She was also struck by his extremely good looks but shook off her daze to reply, “Why yes I am. I’m Karin Uzumaki.”

“Charmed,” the man said taking the hand she offered and bent down in order to kiss her knuckles, “My name is Vega, and I’m a representative of S. I. N.”

“Sin, what an interesting name,” Karin replied taking in the man’s bodyguard a muscle bound dark skinned man that appeared to have once called Kumogakure home.

“Indeed, although it stands for the Shared Investment Network,” Vega replied politely.

“Ah yes, you’re interested in tearing down the hotel to erect a casino,” Karin replied with renewed interest seeing him as her biggest rival.

“That is one of the plans we are currently floating around,” the man replied with a smile. “I believe I’m not the only one to be doing so either. I heard you’ve been speaking with the mayor multiple times over the past few weeks. You’ve made quite the impression.”

Karin fought back a grimace and wondered if the man before her had been meeting with the mayor as well during the period she had been in Konoha. If so then he likely knew how interested she was in the property. “That’s good to know,” she said diplomatically, “I’m hoping to renovate the hotel in order to restore it to its former grandeur.”

“I’ve heard,” he said politely giving her a knowing smile that when it came time the last two vying for the hotel would be them. “Good luck in the coming auction.”

“Thank you and I hope you won’t think too poorly if I don’t wish you the same.”

“Not at all,” he replied before taking his leave.

The bodyguard grunted as he turned away either in disdain or simply as a goodbye and Konohamaru said, “Man I wouldn’t want to fight that guy.”

Karin watched Vega before turning away and replying, “I’d be more wary of the man he was supposedly guarding.” Konohamaru looked back towards where the man had been standing in surprise only to see he was nowhere to be seen.”

*****

Yakumo felt exposed since she was sitting in front of her uncle naked from the waist up even though he was standing behind her. She was sitting on the mat that served as her bed in the room she had barely left for several years due to her illness. She felt a pad being taped to her back and shivered due to the cold ointment on it as the kind voice of Sakura said, “There, wear this for a few hours and it should help ease some of your weariness.”

“Thank you,” Yakumo said already feeling some relief as her skin absorbed the medicine.

“You’re welcome,” she replied helping the frail young woman cover herself with her robe. Her voice lost some of its warmth as she turned to Unkai Kurama, her uncle, to say, “You know I could do more for her if you’d allow her to visit the hospital. You’ve trusted me with your secret and I could guarantee only I would see her. Not to mention it’s stupid to keep pretending it’s to protect a Kekkei Genkai that never existed.”

“We’ve been over this already,” Unkai replied. “And the only reason I trusted you was because I had no choice. It was either let you gain access and likely learn the truth anyway or let the Council strip Yakumo of her position.”

“I’m trying to help prevent that,” Sakura said letting some of the frustration she felt bleed into her voice.

“For that you have my thanks,” Unkai replied indifferently, “But could you protect her all day and night at the hospital.”

Sakura sighed but shook her head no before asking, “Are you even sure there is a threat against her?”

“Positive no,” the old man replied, “But several of the more prominent families within the Kurama are already maneuvering in preparation of Yakumo’s passing.” Sakura directed a quick look towards the woman in question but saw only sad acceptance of her fate on her face. Turning back to Unkai since he hadn’t stopped speaking, “Some may wish to hasten her demise in order to prevent their rivals from having more time to prepare. The position of head of the Kurama has been in Yakumo’s family since the clan’s founding and it will be hers until nature decides otherwise.” His face softened as he looked down at his niece but grew fierce again when said woman looked back at him with a soft smile.

“It’s okay Sakura,” Yakumo replied before suffering a coughing fit.

Unkai was at her side in moments with Sakura not far behind. Using chakra to ease the girl’s suffering she waited until it ended to stop. She then began searching through her pouch and finding what she sought handed a netted pouch to Yakumo. The girl looked at it inquisitively before asking, “What are these for?”

“A good question,” Unkai said taking it from the girl to stare at the flowers and herbs it contained.

Sakura snatched it back handing it to Yakumo again as she said, “It’s something you can put in your bathwater. If it’s warm enough it will act as a sort of aroma therapy to help the medicine I placed on the patch.”

“Thank you,” Yakumo said, “I hope it works as well as the last item you gave me.”

Sakura gave a small pleased smile before saying, “I know it will.”

*****

“This is so boring,” Yoruichi said in the basement of Suna hospital. Directing her gaze to Naruto she added a slight purr to her voice, “Why don’t we find some way to occupy ourselves?”

“That wouldn’t be a good idea since I’m only a shadow clone and if what you have in mind is what I think it is I wouldn’t be around to tell you when to begin.”

“You’re no fun,” the Bijuu pouted.

“We aren’t supposed to be having fun,” Matsuri said annoyed due to their relaxed attitudes while she was so nervous, “now be quiet both of you.”

“Whose idea was it to bring the party-pooper?” Yoruichi replied crossing her arms as she settled back against the wall she was sitting in front of.

“The party-pooper is going to be the one that makes sure you don’t end up in a Suna cell so play nice,” the clone said amused especially as Matsuri let out an indignant, “Heh!”

“Fine, fine,” Yoruichi replied, “But only because you’re so cute.

*****

Naruto sat on his bed in only his boxers while in a meditative stance and with a clone watching him from his kitchen table. A tarp was folded in his lap as he waited while prepared to use the Hiraishin jutsu so kept his eyes closed to sense each of marks he had in place. One thing Naruto had learned was that before using the jutsu he got a sense of what was happening around each seal he could teleport to. As a result he was currently connected to each of his lovers and could almost see what they were doing. He saw a man with orange hair walking in front of Konan and from the surrounding scenery could tell they were outside. He wondered if the man was Pain and that thought nearly had him teleporting to her to get some payback for Kakashi and the others. But he calmed himself both since Tsunade had forbid it and since if he needed to retreat it would put his blue-haired lover in danger. He took the chance to look in on each of his lovers but stopped himself from doing so for Ino. Although he doubted she would know, it would be a betrayal of her since all she had asked from him was space.

His attention then turned to a woman that was not his and although he felt like a perv didn’t feel much guilt since the woman was one of Danzou’s Root members. He had peeked in on her before using the seal that Koharu had placed on her and had even once seen her without her mask. But he couldn’t use it much for spying since all he received were images without sound and most of the people she interacted with wore masks. Still he sometimes hoped he’d look in when she was around something with the title Danzou’s master plan on it. But thus far he had not been so lucky.

Finally he turned his attention to another young woman that wasn’t his. This time he did feel a twinge of guilt since he was hoping to catch sight of her naked, although not for the usual perverted reasons. His body tensed as he found her standing in the bathroom of her home although still robed. She began to undue the knot that held it closed. A moment later she dropped it to the floor and from his vantage point he could see the pad that Sakura had placed on her back and upon which the Hiraishin seal had been applied underneath the medicine. He felt sad as he watched Yakumo stare at her frail body for a moment before heading to the tub. She dropped the herbs Sakura had given her into the water and stepping in closed the sliding screen that had been installed to insure her privacy even when her Uncle was his most paranoid about her safety and would peek in. Naruto saw his moment and disappeared in a flash while the clone turned the dial on an egg timer and waited for an hour to pass before dispelling itself.

*****

Yakumo stood in the water trying not to let her spirits be dampened by the wreck she called a body. As her time approached she often found her thoughts turning to all the experiences she would be denied one of the most prevalent being sex. As it became more and more apparent that she was going to die her mind often created scenarios of passion, but they tended to be more frustrating than anything as she never seemed to have the energy to do anything with the arousal she felt from them. She was just about to lower herself in the water when a flash of red appeared behind her and she sat on something solid. She was about to scream when a hand clamped down over her mouth and pulled her back against a strong and warm chest.

Still she was panicking as the stranger’s other hand began drawing a small symbol on the screen that protected her privacy and now was likely another barrier from her protection. In the few moments it took the hand to complete the formula for what was shaping up to be a seal her mind began spinning all sorts of nightmare scenarios. She also wished she had taken her uncle’s warning about the threats she potentially faced more seriously. The hand completed the seal and her screen flashed blue for a split second and the man she was pressed against whispered, “Shh, Yakumo I’m not going to hurt you.”

Her eyes grew wide as she recognized the voice causing her to attempt to face the man as she said, “Naruto, what are you doing here?” But then she was faced with the realization that she was naked on top of the mostly naked young man and was about to scream.

Naruto’s hand clamped back over her mouth as he whispered, “Quiet, the seal will cover our voices, but can only block out so much and if you’re too loud the guards outside might notice.”

Yakumo did calm but her embarrassment was getting the best of her till Naruto pulled a blue tarp out that he had brought with and covered her with it. Her naked and in her opinion ugly form covered she felt calm enough to ask, “What are you doing here? Why have you invaded my home? Y-you aren’t going to have your way with me are you?”

Although afraid of the answer she was going to get a small part of her was disappointed when he said loudly, “No, of course not.” He cursed at himself for being so noisy and watched the door through the screen and sighed when it appeared nobody had noticed anything amiss. Much more softly he said, “I’m sorry about all this. Believe it or not I’m here to help you.”

“Help me?” Yakumo said her tone filled with disbelief, “By appearing in my bath and doing what exactly?”

Naruto gave her a wide grin before replying, “Recently you could say I’ve learned to harness my Bijuu chakra in some rather interesting ways. One of those ways would be to heal people.”

Yakumo’s eyes grew wide as she understood what Naruto was hinting at, but just as suddenly the hope that blossomed died as she replied, “Naruto, Sakura was just here and she’s one of the best medics in Konoha. If she couldn’t do it then…”

Naruto’s smile didn’t diminish as he pulled the pad that Sakura had placed on Yakumo away causing the girl to emit a yelp. Holding the side the medicine had been applied to Yakumo could see another seal there. Naruto chuckled as he said, “Sakura was the one that arranged our little meeting. Believe me, you haven’t been the first I’ve helped this way. As a matter of fact I’ve been healing you since just after I arrived.”

Now that it had been pointed out to her Yakumo did notice that she felt hotter in a way that had nothing to do with the water. “W-why go about it this way?” She asked feeling a tingling between her legs.

“This is an ability that I don’t want advertised to the wrong people,” Naruto replied. “It could lead to them asking all sorts of questions that I don’t want them even thinking about.”

“O-oh o-okay, “The Kurama clan head said in a way somewhere between a sigh and a moan. They lapsed into silence since considering the situation it was rather too awkward for both of them to make small talk.

Naruto closed his eyes and tried to keep his mind distracted from the fact that he was in a bathtub with a naked girl while only wearing his boxers. It wasn’t easy since as more and more of his Bijuu chakra was pumped into Yakumo more of his normal and tainted chakra hitched a ride. As a result the young clan head was no doubt growing more and more aroused. Which she showed as she squirmed atop of him. Naruto had little doubt that if he even hinted that he was receptive to the idea of taking her here and now that Yakumo would jump at the chance. However, he was of two minds of the situation and that didn’t include the one in his little head either.

It wasn’t that Naruto was suddenly hesitant to use the Temptation’s Touch to get Yakumo to submit to the Binding that followed during sex. After all, he had already known they were tools to help move his ambition along. His concern had been that the feelings his lovers had showed him had been generated from them. Since his own feelings had not been a result and finding out a woman he had come to love despised him would have been too much for him to handle. Now that he was sure thanks to his lovers’ very affectionate way of showing him their feelings he had no problem moving forward.

No the hesitance he felt in this situation stemmed from Yakumo’s circumstances. A part of which she touched on as she asked, “Naruto… why are you doing this for me?” Naruto was a little surprised at her question but figured she was asking to help take her mind off of the chaotic feelings no doubt coursing through her.

She adjusted herself to look over her shoulder at him and he held back a groan while she closed her eyes to either calm herself or concentrate on what she felt pressed against her ass due to the boner he was sporting from all of her writhing about. When she opened her eyes again he could see a genuine need to know so said, “I’m doing this because you’re an important friend to me.”

He could see she wanted to believe him but she looked away asking, “Is that the only reason?”

“Why do you ask?”

Yakumo looked back at him with some suspicion before saying, “I’m in danger of having my title stripped from me. A few days ago Elder Danzou asked to meet with me. Uncle Unkai was against it, but I wanted to see what he would say. He told me that he could make it so that those calling for me to step down would stop. All I needed to do was vote with him on a bill before the council.” Naruto didn’t react not to say it was easy for him as he felt his anger about ready to explode. He was about to reply to the unasked question until Yakumo did him the favor of asking it by saying, “Everyone knows that the bill he wants killed is the one that Lady Tsume came up with and is sponsored by Lady Tsunade, You’re close to the Hokage so are you doing this to get me to vote with her.”

Naruto remained silent for a moment, before saying, “What’s been going on with the council is why I’m here now. It’s forced me to act before you lost what was yours by right. As to how you should vote on the bill all I have to say is. Are you the head of the Kurama clan or aren’t you?” He could see Yakumo was surprised by his response so pulled her back against him to take some of the pressure of his dick before adding, “If the answer is you are then you should look at it for yourself and make a decision that you think is best for your clan and home. If you can do that then I’ll be happy no matter who you side with.”

“Lady Yakumo,” a female voice said interrupting what Yakumo was about to say and caused her to sit up pressing her ass against his groin. Naruto let out a groan as she sat more firmly on his cock. “You’ve been in there for a fairly long time. Perhaps you should get out.”

Yakumo looked panicked since with the seal in place her response wouldn’t reach them since she figured the seal was one that only allowed sound to pass one way. Naruto placed a calming hand on her shoulder as he said, “Speak directly into the seal.”

Placing her mouth directly in front of the seal she said, “I’m fine please leave me be. The herbs Sakura gave me are rather soothing and I will let you know when I’m ready to get out.”

“Of course milady I didn’t mean to rush you.”

She lay back against Naruto, and was really saddened when the blond said, “Sorry Yakumo but our time is just about up.”

****

Inside Naruto’s apartment the egg timer went off jerking the clone awake which dispelled itself alerting two of its fellow clones and Naruto that time was up. Naruto reappeared in his apartment holding the tarp and dripping water all over the place quickly made his way to the bathroom.

****

Meanwhile in two separate village hospitals the clones nodded to the Bijuu they were with indicating it was time to begin.

Kiyomi gave her clone a brief smile before it disappeared and then gathering chakra projected it out in a massive burst. The Chakra Wave quickly shot away not only covering the hospital, but continued on until the whole of Konoha had been covered by it. Kiyomi breathed heavily from the exertion before looking at Koharu to say, “That wasn’t so hard.” However a moment later she tilted forward to collapse but was caught by the elder who shunshined them to her safehouse.

******

A moment after Naruto disappeared, a red wave of energy passed through Yakumo’s bathroom. She could hear her guards scrabbling outside no doubt about to burst into the room to check on her so she quickly wiped away the seal just as the door flew open. Although expecting it, she was still startled so stood up in her bath and pulled open the screen. However what she didn’t expect was the shocked looks of her two guards who stared at her with slack jaws. Looking about the room for the cause of their surprise she caught a glimpse of her reflection and although she still appeared somewhat underfed Yakumo saw a healthy shine to her appearance she had never known. A little taken aback on what to say she saw Sakura’s herbs floating in the water so pulling them out said, “I must ask where Sakura got these.”

Hearing her Uncle burst into the room she asked her attendants to hand her something to cover herself with and feeling an abundance of energy quickly left the bathroom once covered to face the days challenges.

*****

Gaara stared out of his office window as a large dome of chakra appeared from inside of Suna’s hospital. It grew larger until all of the hospital was surrounded in a large blue field that lasted several seconds before disappearing. Although knowing that it meant the denizens of the building it had surrounded would experience a miraculous recovery he sighed already hearing the paperwork being generated from the event he was witnessing. Proof of what he feared was given to him as his older brother burst into his office shouting, “Gaara, reports are pouring in about some chakra wave covering the hospital.”

“What are those reports saying?” Gaara asked calmly as he walked around his desk. “Do they fear this is some sort of attack?”

“I don’t know…” Kankuro admitted falling into step behind his brother.

Gaara remained silent as he worried about how his village would react to the event. He understood Naruto’s reasoning which would be that by having two events happen at the same time separated by such a great distance would throw off Danzou about what the Blond Shinobi had in store for the Kurama Clan Head. But in the world of shinobi the unknown often meant death and it happening unexpectedly often meant a real fear of it being an attack.

However that fear would disappear for anyone that set foot into the hospital as it did for Kankuro as he entered it behind his brother. “What the hell!?” he exclaimed as he saw the doctors and nurses running about in confusion while the patients who would normally be waiting to see the doctors excitedly explained to whoever would listen how the alignments that had brought them there seemed to have been cured.

“How is this possible?” Kankuro asked in amazement.

Gaara remained silent with the answer simply saying, “I believe Konoha experienced something similar several months back. Perhaps we can contact them and see if they are willing to share some information with us.”

Kankuro nodded replying, “I’ll send the hawk out right away.”

Gaara didn’t reply as his brother left to fulfill his order. By then the citizens and shinobi visiting the hospital noticed their Kazekage and immediately began to surround him in order to share the extraordinariness of their being healed. As they shared their tales a small smile appeared as he thought to himself that the paperwork no doubt piling up would be worth it.

*****

Tsunade entered the Den from the abandoned apartment building that held the hidden entrance to the tunnels that made it up. She rubbed her eyes from the strain of going over a great deal of the paperwork the city wide event had already generated. Knowing that the next day would bring even more she tried to remain upbeat due to all the happy reports she had received already. But those were tempered by the meeting requests she had also received from the elder Homura and Danzou. With the messenger hawk from Suna detailing how they had experienced something similar albeit smaller she could already hear the two men arguing with her about how it was likely these events were test runs of some secret weapon. She figured that there was no doubt the two men would argue that the beneficial nature of the chakra waves was simply to lure the two villages into a sense of calm before striking. Now that the wave was large enough to cover all of Konoha the next time it happened it could just as likely wipe out every living thing in the village.

She would want to scoff at such a theory when it was presented to her however the sad truth was that as a village leader she would have to treat it as a potential truth. It was depressing to think that in Suna the same thing would likely play out with Gaara and the Shinobi Council there. Luckily for her, Tsunade could assign Yuugao and Anko to head up the task of investigating the event in Konoha. In Suna however with Temari currently attached as the co-leader of the Training Force with Asuma, Gaara would have to assign his brother most likely to the task and while she doubted there would be any evidence linking any of them to the event. Gaara as well as her would still need to consider the possibility as well as how he would handle the truth if they needed to tell him. While Kankuro was friendly with Naruto, she did not want to think about how he would react upon learning his sister was bound to the blond or the fact that his brother had known.

But she pushed those thoughts out of her mind as she entered the large bedroom where Naruto had pleased his harem a couple nights before. She was a little disappointed to find Naruto had yet to arrive although Koharu, Haku, and Tayuya were present. She settled in to wait and fifteen minutes later the blond appeared in the center of the room in a flash of red light. Kiyomi appeared moments later although still a little wobbly but was steadied by Naruto who guided her to the bed.

Upon sitting her down he turned to Tsunade asking, “Is this it?”

The Hokage smiled before replying, “The rest of your lovers are busy dealing with the fallout from your idea. Those not assigned to the hospital are out scouring the surrounding area looking for some hint of how it happened.”

Naruto nodded, and turning towards Kiyomi said, “Thank you again. How is Yoruichi holding up? She appeared pretty weak when I picked her up from Matsuri’s.”

“She’ll be fine,” the human Bijuu answered, “Generating these chakra waves is as close to chakra exhaustion as either of us has ever come. But I’m sure it will all be worth it.”

Naruto was about to agree when Koharu said, “Don’t count our eggs before they hatch. Homura has already visited me explaining his concerns that this is just some enemy field testing a new weapon and that was before he learned it also happened in Suna.”

“We expected that though,” the blond jinchuriki said turning to his lover, “That’s why we also had one appear in Suna. My hope is that as the villages get closer these events will be viewed as something happening because we are on the right path.”

“Naruto you’re still young and trust me when I say the reason I feel this was a mistake is due to the unknown nature of it. It will be too easy for Danzou to twist this into something to inspire fear in the village.”

Naruto sighed indicating he understood what Koharu was saying but said hopefully, “That’s why the next step will be to expose him for the bastard he really is.”

He could see Koharu wasn’t going to let the matter drop but Tsunade stepped forward to say, “Nevertheless the die has already been cast. Plus now with Yakumo’s vote we will be able to move Suna and Konoha closer together despite Danzou and Homura’s resistance to the idea.” Naruto began to scratch his cheek nervously something all of his lovers immediately picked up causing Tsunade to ask, “We do have her vote, right?”

“Um… next exactly.” The blond answered looking at a spot to his right in order to avoid eye contact.

“She didn’t reject you did she,” Koharu asked fearing the events such an occurrence could bring about. “I know you didn’t plan to seduce her but at the very least…”

“I didn’t bring the matter up,” Naruto said turning his gaze upon the brown-haired woman.

“Why the fuck not?” Tayuya asked suddenly, “The whole reason for this was to get her to agree to vote with us against that prick Danzou.”

“No it wasn’t,” Naruto said his gaze and voice growing firm. Tsunade was about to reply but stopped when his gaze settled on her. He smiled softly before saying, “I know it was foolish of me, but I couldn’t use my ability to heal her for something as petty as gaining her vote for the council. I like to believe what is in that bill we are trying to pass is good for both villages and if Yakumo agrees she’ll go along with it. If not, she’ll side with Danzou. In the end though there will always be another chance to pass such a thing, but there will only ever be one Yakumo. I’ll apologize later if I’ve wasted everyone’s efforts.”

Naruto put his hands in his pockets and left the room deciding to enjoy the night air. The others remained not quite sure how to feel until Haku began giggling softly. Noticing all eyes turned to her the former Mist-nin said softly, “And he’s the one that fears he’ll lose his way. I don’t think he’ll ever be able to forget that the actions he takes are just as important as what he hopes to achieve.” Haku smiled upon seeing that her words seemed to have made the other women accept the potential set back to their ambition, even as a part of her felt guilty about pursuing her own selfish desire over helping her lover.

*****

It had been several days since the chakra wave covered Konoha and for both Koharu and Tsunade the time since it had been filled with meetings, meetings, and more meetings. That morning had been little different for Koharu as it had been filled by a status updates from Yuugao, who would address the full Clan Council later. Naturally as expected the Anbu head captain had claimed to have found nothing of value to learn about who was behind it. Koharu still feared that they weren’t out of the woods but for the moment was forced to admit her worries were likely unfounded.

Walking through the halls of the Hokage mansion on her way to a meeting on Konoha’s state of readiness should the events be a precursor to an attack. The elder sighed in annoyance since her lover got to enjoy the fact that his idea had not only healed Yakumo. But his teacher Kakashi, Guy, and Yamato from the injuries they suffered from their run in with Pain. What was worse was that due to his being a genin he was left alone to train while his higher ranked lovers needed to attend meetings and such. The blond had offered to help anyone who asked, but since he had a reputation as not being the deepest of thinkers he couldn’t really press to be included as in his book the Chakra Wave was a good thing. Koharu’s annoyance gave way to a soft smile since his attitude had many of the more jaded shinobi that she dealt with questioning if perhaps they were the ones making a mountain out of a molehill.

Reaching the room of her meeting she saw Tsunade storming out followed by several shinobi such as Ibiki Morino, and Shikaku Nara. Ibiki broke off heading in the opposite direction as Tsunade stomped towards Koharu followed by Shikaku. As the Hokage passed she fell into step besides her asking, “What’s wrong?”

She could hear Tsunade practically grinding her teeth as she answered, “Elder Danzou has decided to convene the Clan Council meeting early and has requested our presence.”

From the sarcastic way the Hokage had spoken she knew demand would have been a more accurate description. Upon reaching the Clan Council chamber Tsunade threw the doors open angrily and sat at the table assigned to the Hokage while Koharu and Shikaku moved to theirs. Taking her seat she could see that Danzou was just as agitated but for vastly different reasons. She wondered if the concern she could see coming from him was due to his love for the village or because he was upset by this new mystery that he needed to account for in his plan to take it over. There was a time she would have believed it to be the first and now thought it such a pity that she knew it was the latter.

Danzou recognizing them as the last to arrive was about to begin speaking when the doors were thrown open again. Quite a few people jumped not expecting it or that the guards stationed throughout the building would allow an intruder that far inside. However they all calmed instantly upon seeing the panting girl as she tried to catch her breath having run from the edge of the village. Koharu though watched Danzou and saw a small twitch that on anyone else would have been a grimace. She saw that Tsunade also noticed it and as a result her mood picked up significantly.

Able to speak now the girl said, “I-I’m sorry it took so long. The Anbu only just arrived at my home… I don’t think he expected me…”

“It’s fine,” Tsunade said warmly, “I only just arrived myself please take your seat Lady Yakumo.”

Yakumo moved to the empty table upon which the chair behind it bore her clan’s Mon. She traced her fingers over the carved emblem reverently, but upon noticing everyone’s gaze upon her blushed and quickly took her seat. Tsunade then turned towards Danzou and to Koharu all traces of warmth vanished as she said, “Well elder you’re the one that summoned us.”

“I wish that it wasn’t necessary,” Danzou said reeking of concern which to Koharu was sure was simply an attempt to get the room behind him. “However it appears to me that since a second chakra event has happened it is apparent that you have failed in your duties to the village.”

Tsunade folded her hands in front of her face as she rested her elbows on the table before icily replying, “Would you like to clarify your position?”

Standing, the elder came from around his table and paced leaning heavily on his cane said, “The first event was small and as such any potential damage would have been minimal. However this second one covered the entire village and could have wiped us out completely. A jutsu designed to heal could just as quickly be turned to killing. Yet what did you do to insure such a thing wouldn’t happen again…” Danzou paused to let his words sink in before whirling to face Tsunade using his cane as a pivot before accusingly finishing by saying, “…Nothing.” Letting the word hang in the air for a moment he began pacing again adding, “That for a Hokage is a grave offense especially since whoever was behind it was able to activate the jutsu from the exact same location. At the very least…”

“Lord Danzou, were you not in the village when the wave happened?”

Danzou was knocked off his tirade by the unexpected question and all eyes turned to the woman that asked it causing her to blush again as she said, “I’m sorry… should I have raised my hand first. I’m afraid I’m not sure of the proper procedures.”

Tsunade smiled at the girl for a multitude of reason before she said, “It’s fine. But may I inquire as to why you would ask that?”

Yakumo looked down nervously before answering, “It’s just that Elder Danzou is leaning quite heavily on his cane. Speaking as someone who benefitted from the chakra event that he would have liked to have never happened I just find it strange he needs it to such an extent. I’ve never felt as good as I do right now. Plus my Uncle Unkai had an old injury to his knee that forced him to retire. Although he took an active part in trying to suppress Ido when it tried to take over three years ago he limped around for weeks afterwards.” Yakumo smiled gently as she continued, “This morning he took part in training with the rest of the Kurama’s active shinobi and easily outpaced them all. I believe he plans to file the papers for reinstatement this morning.”

All eyes moved from Yakumo to Danzou as Tsunade said with all too much glee in her voice, “That is an excellent point. Why do you need your cane Elder?”

Koharu never thought she would see the day when Danzou would appear at a loss for words. She suspected he was using the cane to play on the sympathies that his needing it generated as it reminded them of the fact he was a war hero. And while she wasn’t innocent of using her age or status as an elder to her advantage felt it was just another example of how far both he and she had fallen from the once lofty ideals they had held, although she believed she had discovered herself again thanks to her feelings for Naruto. Danzou though she doubted ever would as he said, “That makes me quite pleased to hear that. Unkai was a damn fine soldier; unfortunately I did not participate in the event since my study where I spend most of my time is deep underground in case of such occurrences happening.”

Koharu didn’t know if he was telling the truth or not but before Danzou could try and recapture the tone he was trying to establish Yakumo said, “Then perhaps it would be best if you aren’t the one leading the conversation on this.”

“What did you say?” Danzou said his voice dropping a few degrees giving it an almost threatening tone.

“I’m sorry, perhaps I said too much.”

“Actually I’d love to hear your opinion on the matter,” Tsunade said obviously basking in Danzou’s growing anger.

Nervously the clan head stood before saying, “Elder Danzou is speaking from the position of someone who hasn’t experienced what the Chakra Wave could do. I’m speaking from the position of someone who has benefitted greatly and as a result likely holds a far different opinion of the same event.”

“That may be,” Homura began to say, “but experience has taught us to be wary of things that appear too good to be true.”

Yakumo nodded at his point but undeterred said, “I understand where you are coming from even if I disagree. You see this as a potential threat waiting to be unleashed at a moment’s notice but what if it’s a reward.”

“A reward,” Danzou said mockingly, “then why would they hide their faces?”

Koharu noticed quite a few of the clan heads were more prone to back Danzou over Yakumo. However the Kurama Clan Head steadfastly said, “Why do you assume it has to be a “they” who wish us harm? Could it not simply be a miracle for which someone prayed?”

Danzou scoffed before saying, “Please stop wasting our time on such silly fairy tales. Here we must deal with reality.”

Yakumo looked hurt by the Elder’s comment and turned away from him to head back to her seat. However she stopped and once more facing the elder said, “I feel sorry for you. You’re unable to see the good in anything even something that has greatly benefited your home.” Feeling more emboldened by her words the young woman continued, “I doubt you can do that for anything, can you? You say we must deal with reality here then fine let’s do that. Akatsuki seeks to harness the power of the Bijuu for some great and powerful jutsu capable of leveling a country.”

“May I ask how do you know that?” Hiashi Hyuuga asked his tone unchallenging merely questioning.

Yakumo didn’t turn from Danzou instead only moved her eyes enough to make eye contact with the Hyuuga clan head. “It was in the transcripts of one of the meetings this council has held. I may have been incapable of being here in person but that in no way meant I took my duties lightly. I have read every transcript and every scrap of information I could get my hands on in order to best fulfill my duties. If the council had allowed me to use a proxy I would have gladly given my input on all of the important things that needed to be discussed.”

Koharu could see that quite a few of the people who had been for stripping the young woman of her title shifted uncomfortably. The female elder also could see that both Tsunade and Tsume were enjoying the Yakumo’s debut on the council. Yakumo focused back onto Danzou as she said, “Akatsuki’s goal appears to be to use this jutsu to bring about a change to the shinobi world. Now what if there is another group that has the same goals but instead of using destruction wants to use this jutsu as something to bring us together.”

Shikaku leaned forward in interest asking, “What do you mean?”

“Konoha since its founding has always tried to get along with its neighbors. That was one of the reasons the first Hokage split the Bijuu among the various shinobi villages that were founded after our home’s founding.” Yakumo paused to lick her lips and Koharu noticed the girl’s cheeks were beginning to redden. She didn’t doubt that the others might mistake this as her growing nervous at being put on the spot or passion, but the female elder as did the other two women from Naruto’s harem believed she was beginning to experience one of the side effects of her being exposed to Naruto’s chakra. The young Kurama seemed to lose her place for a moment as she closed her eyes causing the women present to fear she might do something rather indecent. But Yakumo calmed herself enough to say, “W-what if those attempts are starting to pay dividends? For all we know Konoha was first since it has long sought peace with its neighbors and now that Suna seems willing to truly reciprocate it has experienced a similar event. This could just be someone or something’s way of telling us we are on the right path. I’m not saying we can’t prepare for it to become something that can be used against us. Only that it would be sad to close our hearts to the potential fact that this is merely what it appears to be, something beneficial to both Konoha and Suna.”

Yakumo returned to her seat and tried to remain still but would squirm about every so often. As the meeting progressed, Koharu had a hard time not joining into Tsume and Tsunade’s good cheer especially as it became apparent to Danzou that the more he pushed on the matter the more he began to appear as someone stuck in the past and always looking for the next threat. Due to this he backed off and although not pleased agreed with the security measures that Tsunade had already prepared.

Danzou then tried to end the meeting, but was forced to sit back and watch as Tsunade brought up the other items that the council had pushed back the month before since she saw no reason to reconvene the council again later. Koharu had to once more admit that although her lover’s methods at times could be extremely frustrating to her. When the bill TR one-hundred and three came up for a vote and Yakumo’s voice was among the chorus of ayes that led to its passing it was hard to deny his methods were the right ones.

******

Karin frowned at the empty seat next to her since she had invited Tsunami to attend the auction with her. Wondering where the woman had gone to that afternoon she sighed as the current president of the Gato Corporation stood before the audience to say, “Thank you all for attending. Your funds will help fuel this company’s rise back to the pinnacle of the shipping world, so don’t get too comfortable.”

Karin looked around as some of the native people of Wave shifted about uncomfortably since the man’s words could almost be taken as a threat. Karin wasn’t worried though as her estimates would have the company shutting its door within the year even with the new influx of cash. Gato reputation was just too well-known now for anyone to do legitimate business with them since just being associated with the company was cause for most law enforcement to look into a person’s background. In a year she believed the company would go belly up forcing it to sell the asset she really wanted the port it had in Wave. Of course in order to do that she needed to get her hands on the hotel so when she did buy the port there would not be too much trouble from the local populace.

Continuing to look around the room her gaze stopped on the handsome man sitting in the front. His long hair was hanging loosely behind him and he was dressed in an expensive business suit. She knew that when all was said and done he would be the one she needed to beat. She had looked some into S. I. N.’s background and had learned that much as its name suggested it was a group of investors that bought up failed properties to turn around. Most of which turned out to be related to the gambling business. She knew that depending on how serious they were the company could easily out bid her. Her one saving grace was that the Gato Corporation had demanded that the bidding be a cash only affair. Therefore whoever won the auction would need to hand over a big pile of cash immediately. The reason for this was the president of the company was all too aware that some of his competition would be present and they could hasten his company’s demise by canceling the payment somewhere down the line forcing it to waste more money and time as it tried to survive.

Vega appeared to notice someone’s eyes on his back so she quickly moved on before he could mark her as the one staring and finished her scan of the room by looking to the back of it where her genin protection stood. They stood around a single suitcase resting on a table and she smiled since she didn’t doubt that many of the other players for the hotel had seriously underestimated the amount of cash she had brought unaware she had placed a scroll inside that contained all her funds. Her smile lessened slightly since looking at the table that Vega’s bodyguard was standing in front of there were over twenty large suitcases.

However such a thing wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. For one it gave her a chance to calculate just how much the man had brought from the overall dimensions of the suitcases. She figured that even if they were all stuffed with the largest denominations for the Ryo then both she and Vega had brought similar amounts. It bolstered her spirits a little since a part of her felt Vega had brought all the money for show as a way to get bidders to drop out without even trying. If he wasn’t willing to spend it all then she could win on that principle alone.

But she did feel a bit of apprehension from the fact that the man’s chakra was telling her that he was more than a pretty face. His chakra was to sharp and refined for him to be anything but a shinobi. Therefore there was a possibility that among one of the suitcases he had brought was a scroll filled with funds just like hers. Yet to be truthful what truly bothered her however was that from his chakra signature she got the feeling that he was more dangerous than the man guarding him.

She adjusted her glasses and was about to turn to the auctioneer as he was about to begin when she noticed Tsunami enter. Waving to the woman, she smiled as her guest said, “Sorry I’m late.”

“Where we’re you?”

Tsunami simply smiled but didn’t answer as the auctioneer began calling out the cost for the property. Karin looked away frowning due to her desire to know as well as how many people were jumping at the prices being called out. Although the cost was still well below what she had brought her pessimism grew since Vega had yet to raise his hand once. Karin had yet to either and she figured they had both come to the same plan which was to wait to see when the other bidders became hesitant to make a crushing offer.

“Can I get ten-million… ten-million,” the auctioneer called before pointing to a woman who raised her hand. Raising the price he immediately, “Got ten, can I get ten-five, ten-five.”

Karin began sweating a little since in the several minutes since the bidding began the price had already reached the half-way mark of what she could afford to spend. However, fortunately for her the bidding soon began to slow around the fifteen million mark. She was about to throw out a number of seventeen million when Vega shouted twenty-one million. Karin turned her head back to the table where his money was all piled in time to see another henchman bring a suitcase and place it on the table. Vega turned back to look at her giving a smarmy and amused smile which disappeared when Tsunami raised her hand to shout, “Twenty-five million.”

“What are you doing?” Karin said in a whisper, “I only have twenty with me. As soon as they count it and realize I’m short they’ll just award it to the next highest bidder.”

Tsunami smiled brightly and nodded her head towards the table where Karin’s money was. The red-head turned to see quite a few villagers carrying bags which they dropped onto the table. The bags were all different shape and sizes but she could tell they were all stuffed with money. She kept watching even as Tsunami said, “For the past month the village has been gathering funds. When they found out one of the people bidding for the hotel was from the Uzumaki clan and what your hopes for it were. Well it was only natural they would put their trust in you.”

The auctioneer gave Vega a chance to up his bid but now that he was in the same boat Karin had been he simply shook his head causing the man to hit his gavel on the table and shout, “Sold to the Great Tree Shipping Company.” Karin and Tsunami hugged joyful but as she basked in her win Karin felt a cold spike in chakra that felt like it wanted to imbedded itself in her skull.

*****

A henged Naruto walked down the street with an equally henged Haku on his arm. Although the facial features of the woman she was pretending to be were the same as when Tayuya had been henged as her. This time the woman’s hair was black and was hanging loosely behind her. Naruto caught some people doing double takes and knew that part of the reason was some people may have recognized them from his date with Tayuya or Tenten who had been next and were questioning why her hair was now black. However he figured most of them were from the fact that Haku carried herself completely different than the other two women had.

Deciding to comment on one thing that Tayuya and Tenten hadn’t been he said, “Haku there’s no reason to be nervous.”

“I-I know,” Haku replied although she buried herself into his side a little tighter, “I’m sorry it’s just this is so unlike anything I’ve ever done before. Zabuza didn’t exactly encourage me to act like a girl.”

Remembering their first meeting Naruto said, “You could have fooled me.”

Haku laughed gently but admitted, “Perhaps pink wasn’t the most fitting color in order to pretend I was a boy.”

He felt Haku’s mood drop so asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Do you believe I’m being selfish?”

“Of course not.” The henged blond said quickly, “Why would you even think that?”

The two of them were walking on the path that ran next to the river through Konoha so Haku broke away from him and placed her hands on the railing that prevented people from falling in. Staring at the water she said, “It’s just all of you are all focused on making the world a better place while all my thoughts are consumed with anger at those who would disturb Zabuza’s grave.”

Naruto came up behind his lover and wrapping his arms around her said, “Haku, you don’t need to concern yourself with my goals. I can’t even imagine what it must feel like to be you to wake up and learn your precious teacher’s grave had been disturbed. A part of me is angry as well since it seems that Sasuke would have allowed it as well if the sword hadn’t already been taken before they got there. Besides to be honest your hunting for the Kubikiribôchô works for me as well.”

Haku frowned since she knew what had happened between Sasuke and Naruto since Kiyomi would tell anyone who would listen why the Uchiha needed to die painfully. She always did it when Naruto wasn’t around though making Haku feel that the Bijuu had an insight that Naruto hadn’t shared with the rest of his lovers. “You haven’t given up on him have you?”

Naruto tensed for a moment before sighing as he said, “It is hard to put into words. I still want to save him from the darkness he has surrounded himself with and imagine I always will. But truthfully I’m more afraid then anything.”

“You afraid,” Haku said the disbelief she felt easy to hear.

Naruto nodded though before resting his head on her shoulder as they watched the water passed by in the darkness. “Sasuke I imagine could have easily come back to the village after killing his brother. In two swoops of his sword he removed both Orochimaru and the dreaded Itachi Uchiha. If he had played his cards right I doubt even Tsunade would have been able to touch him. If this is visible to me then it has to be to Sasuke as well. Therefore, I keep asking myself, why hasn’t he? The answer I keep coming up with is he somehow knows why Itachi killed his family and if that’s the case it’s the worst possible scenario.”

“Why?”

“Because it means when he does come back he intends to settle the score. Revenge is all he has in his life now, and with his brother dead he’ll cling to whatever new enemy presents itself to him.”

Haku looked back worriedly to say, “Then perhaps I should abandon my quest. Finding Kubikiribôchô is important to me, but you are far more precious.”

Naruto smiled but said, “Please don’t. I have this feeling that Sasuke and I need to meet again someday. I’m hoping that when it does happen it’s as far away from Konoha as possible.”

Haku nodded, but couldn’t help hoping the meeting never took place. Tired of speaking about depressing matters the kunoichi said, “Naruto, please make me warm.”

Naruto smiled and made sure nobody else was on the path before causing them both to disappear in a red flash. Appearing in the hotel room the fake personas were staying in with Tayuya pretending to be the man when Naruto wasn’t around, Haku spun in his arms as they both dropped their henges and pressed her lips to his. The two made out as Haku gently held her hands against his chest while he rubbed his along her back. Haku was the one to end the kiss and then smiled sweetly before slowly dropping to her knees before him. Her hands slowly followed before zeroing in around his package which she rubbed tantalizingly. Naruto groaned from her action which grew in volume when her nimble fingers freed his cock. Immediately licking the tip she began to swirl her tongue around his head but was surprised when his strong arms grabbed her under her armpits and lifted her up.

“N-naruto,” she said as he carried her towards the bed and then gently laid her down. Stepping back he pulled his pants off and then climbing on the bed himself knelt near her head so she could continue sucking his cock. As Haku’s tongue began bathing his love muscle again he busied himself with pulling the sash of her kimono open to expose her body to him in turn. Finding that Haku hadn’t bothered with any undergarments, he smirked before saying, “No wonder you were cold.” He then lowered his mouth to her pussy to enjoy Haku’s gathering juices as it appeared the kunoichi was enjoying his.

The two continued in their actions until Haku surprised him and gripping his hips rolled them over until she was on top. She then spun around and then positioning him at her entrance and lowered herself down causing them both to groan as she impaled herself on his cock. She then began a slow grind as she moaned and pushed his shirt up so that she could see his chest. Naruto groaned as Haku slowly worked her hips back and forth while clenching her pussy in order to squeeze his dick. Her kimono still clinging to her shoulder gave the kunoichi a sultry air as she kept her eyes closed while riding his dick.

“Mmmm so warm,” Haku moaned as she began to increase her pace. When Naruto tried to place his hands on her hips, her own intercepted them and she linked her fingers with his holding them in the air in front of her. She then began more furiously working her hips back and forth grinding her clit against his skin. “Y-yes so good…” she began panting still with her eyes closed which opened in surprise when Naruto spun them over.

“N-no,” she whimpered when he pulled out. But she then allowed him to spin her so that she was on all fours.

“Don’t worry,” the jinchuriki said kneeling behind the kunoichi, “But let me really turn up the heat.” Naruto then grabbed Haku’s kimono pulling it back and off her shoulders. The way he did it forced her arms behind her back and as soon as they were cleared of the sleeves, Naruto caught them and pulled her towards him. At the same time he thrust his hips forward burying his dick in his snow maidens soaking wet and boiling hot snatch.

Haku’s eyes shot open from the powerful invasion and authoritative thrusts as Naruto used her arms to pull her back against him with every lunge. Haku moaned loudly every time she was fully impaled on his meatcicle. However, aware of how thin the walls were and not wanting another visit from someone at the front desk to tell them to keep it down, even if it had the potential to be a blushing Ami again, like he had experienced with Tenten a few nights before. He let go of her arms causing Haku to bury her face in the mattress as he gripped her hips to continue his pounding assault.

Haku reached her hand between her legs and began to rub her pussy in conjuncture with his thrusts and the added stimulus caused her pussy to clamp down around his cock causing the jinchuriki to groan in pleasure from the increased resistance. Naruto then spun them around so that he was on his back with Haku’s pressed against his chest. He placed his hand on top of her increasing the pressure of her rubbing while he also increased the pace of his thrusts.

“F-fu… …d-don’t if you keep it up I’ll melt,” Haku panted although she continued to meet his thrusts.

Licking her neck until he reached her ear he whispered, “Go ahead, Haku, melt for me.” He then pressed both their middle fingers against her clit like a button, causing her to tense as she screamed her release into the knuckle of her other hand. As she did that, he buried his tool as far as it would go so that her thirsty womb would receive the semen her convulsing pussy was so desperately trying to milk from him. After several powerful blasts of his seed, which triggered another orgasm for Haku they both caught their breaths.

The tranquil moment was ruined though as someone began banging against the wall shouting, “For just one fucking night can you fucking try to control yourselves.”

“We really need to find a new apartment for these aliases,” Naruto whispered causing his lover to nod before they both began laughing softly.

They both settled into sleep but were jarred awake by a call for help.

*****

Karin and Tsunami were returning to the older woman’s home flanked by Team Ebisu. After winning the auction Karin had needed to fill out the necessary paperwork. While they waited for it to process the kunoichi had asked how the villagers had managed to scrape together an additional five million Ryo. Tsunami had explained that all of the people who had contributed were the older residents of Wave and as such had been around when its fortunes began to improve with the construction of the bridge. Due in part to Gato’s control of the country and the lessons learned from it they had all saved a significant portion of their new wealth just in case.

The two women had spent the hour after they signed the paperwork with the townspeople that had helped with the purchase of the hotel. There Karin learned that despite their good feelings for the clan she hailed from, the people expected a return on their investment. Karin had surprised the townspeople by offering a percent stake in the hotel based on how much they had contributed. The kunoichi hadn’t been surprised to learn that Tsunami had been the one that had contributed the most.

Karin felt uneasy as they approached Tsunami’s home. Activating her chakra sensing abilities she immediately detected a large chakra source inside the home and recognized it as Vega’s shinobi bodyguard. Holding her hand out to the side she said, “We can’t go… watch out!”

Karin immediately tackled Tsunami to the ground with the two of them narrowly missing being skewered by a claw from a masked man who had leapt from a roof above them. “W-what’s going on?” Tsunami said frightened as she stared up at the shirtless man whose chest and arm sported a dragon tattoo. His long brownish hair was done into a pony and covering his face was a mask that was somewhat similar to the one Haku wore with a stylized looking seven beneath his left eye. Attached to his left fist was a long three bladed claw.

Team Ebisu took up a guarding position between the two women and man as he bowed elegantly at the waist mockingly. However his voice held a small measure of respect as he said, “It appears our information on your chakra sensing abilities was correct. Although perhaps not as accurate as I could have hoped. I was hoping that leaving that brute inside the house would mask my movements.”

As if in reply to what the masked man said. The door to Tsunami’s home exploded off its hinges as the large dark-skinned man dressed in a light blue sleeveless shirt and shorts stepped out and slammed his taped fists together. “Enough talking,” the man said punching one of the posts of the houses porch and shattering it, “Let’s just kill these bozos.”

“Balrog you are as vulgar as ever,” Vega replied culturally. “A man should always take the time to enjoy the presence of a beautiful lady.”

“Pfft, whatever,” Balrog said before raising his fists up to his chest and charged the group.

“Karin, get Tsunami out of here,” Konohamaru shouted. “Moegi and Udon take the guy in blue. I’ll handle the masked freak.”

Udon and Moegi having drawn a kunai each nodded and then threw them at the charging Balrog. Despite not altering his straight charge, Balrog moved his torso just enough to avoid each blade catching the genin flatfooted as he reached them. Still when he threw a jab at Moegi, the young genin still managed to avoid it. She retaliated with a kick to his thigh but was shocked at just how solid his muscles there were. She leapt back to avoid his follow up punch, but was caught in the stomach when with a sudden burst of speed he charged her while she was still in the air to slam his fist in her midsection. Moegi flew away and when she landed she bounced along the ground several times

Karin turned back to see how the genin hired to protect her were faring in time to see Moegi get hit. Tsunami saw it as well and said what the red-head was thinking, “We cannot leave them here.”

“I know,” Karin replied, “Go to a neighbors. I’ll help them until…” The red-head left the words empty since they had both been using their fox marks to call for Naruto. However they were both also aware that he couldn’t just appear due in part to the genin now fighting to protect them since it would raise too many questions. Neither woman doubted he wouldn’t appear if left no alternative, but both hoped it wouldn’t be too late. Tsunami took off running as Karin headed to help the genin.

Konohamaru flipped backwards and upon landing immediate created a shadow clone. However Vega tucked himself in a ball and bounced along the ground towards him. The man sprung out of his roll stabbing the clone in the chest causing it to puff into smoke. He then swung the claw around cutting into the real genin’s side. Standing straight and towering over the genin the man held his clawed hand up to watch the blood run down it as he said, “Shadow clones…tsk I’ve always hated that jutsu. Still it does make the game a little more enjoyable. How about you make another and give me another chance to guess which the real one is.”

Before Konohamaru could reply Vega spun throwing his arms up to block as Karin flew in with a kick. He screamed in pain as the heel of her high heeled shoe dug into his flesh. She then kicked out with her other leg catching the assassin in the side of the head spinning him away. Landing in front of Konohamaru she remained in a ready stance even as the genin shouted, “What do you think you are doing you moron? We’re supposed to be guarding you.”

“I know, I know,” Karin said waving off his remarks, “It must be the Uzumaki in me that wants me to do something this stupid.”

Vega stood back up and despite his injured arm still sounded amused as he said, “Good, it’s more fun when the prey realizes there is no place to run so stays and fights.”

“Can you buy me a few seconds?” Konohamaru asked recognizing the red-head wasn’t going to leave.

Karin was just about to nod when Konohamaru was sent flying as Udon’s body slammed into him. Turning she saw that Balrog had tossed the glasses wearing genin. She knew from the way Konohamaru’s chakra had dimmed that the genin was unconscious. However Udon’s was still active so she suspected he was lying in wait for a moment to attack. Yet a moment later his went dormant as well, but what gave her pause was the way it had happened. Before she could give the matter much thought though Vega was charging her claw held back as if to bury it in her chest. At the last second he was forced to abandon his attack as he jumped away and Senbon buried themselves into the ground where he had been standing. Both he and Karin directed their attention to the rooftop where they had come from to see a masked person dressed as a hunter-nin. Karin felt like smiling but knew it wouldn’t due to advertise that she knew the woman so said, “Let me guess you’re upset about my buying the hotel also.”

“Is that what this is about,” Haku replied with a disinterested shrug. “Your antics tonight are preventing me from enjoying the night with my lover. It would be best if you dispersed.”

Moegi was aware of the new possible opponent but kept her focus on Balrog hoping to prevent him from double teaming Karin now that both her teammates appeared to have been taken out of the mix. Her body hurt all over even though she had landed far more hits on her opponent then he had on her. Still from the way he smiled she doubted any of hers had seriously hurt him. Charging in once more she pulled a kunai at the last second hoping to bury it into his side which he had left open. However it proved to be a ruse as he hit her with a left cross which he followed up with two jabs to the face. She could barely see straight but was aware of him pulling back for a strong right, but before it could connect a man appeared in front of her and easily caught the blow in his hand.

He looked over his shoulder and she saw that he was wearing a mask that matched the other new arrival. His eyes narrowed upon seeing her injuries and turning to face Balrog tightened his grip on the fist causing the bones to creak.

“Arggh,” the man cried feeling like his hand was caught in a vice, “Who the fuck are Y….!”

The man cut off the question by kicking Balrog in his chest hard enough to send him flying. He smashed into the building the other masked-nin was standing on and Moegi could hear the female Hunter-nin sounding amused as she said, “He was also quite upset by the disturbance.”

Vega leapt back towards where Balrog lay face down in the dirt and helping him stand said towards Karin, “Some other time my dear.”

The masked blond charge forward in anger but both men disappeared as Vega shunshined them away. A moment later the two masked-nin followed leaving Karin and Moegi to attend to the wounded as well as with a ton of questions.

Tsunami hugged her knees as she hid in the old hotel not wanting to involve any of her neighbors. A moment later a flash of red appeared in the room and she charged out from behind the sign-in desk she had been hiding behind when Naruto called, “Tsunami its safe.”

She clung to Naruto as she cried from the fear she had felt. He stroked her back lovingly as he whispered, “Shh, it’s okay. I’ll always be here to protect you.” After a while she began to calm but he was forced to leave as Moegi began calling out for her having been sent by Karin.

Giving her a gentle kiss he Hiraishined back to the hotel room he was sharing with Haku and sat down on the bed. Haku pressed herself behind him hugging him loosely as he began to wonder about why anyone would be willing to kill for the old hotel and what he had gotten his lovers involved in.

Yakumo was dressed in a white sports bra and tight pair of black running shorts as she jogged through the village. It had been over a week since the Council Meeting and almost two since Naruto had healed her. Since the day of her healing she had spent as much of her free time as possible training. According to Sakura at the moment she was getting almost twice the normal results from her efforts as she normally would. The kunoichi couldn’t tell her how long the effect would last but Yakumo was determined to get the maximum she could from it. Reaching the Hokage Mansion she entered it and ignored some of the looks she received from the people around her at her state of dress.

Reaching the Hokage’s office she was about to knock but the door opened for her. Stepping in she saw the person that had opened it was Hinata. The Hyuuga smiled at her before stepping to the side to allow her to pass. She was about to step outside into the hall but looked over her shoulder to ask, “Will that be all Lady Tsunade?”

Tsunade nodded her head and Yakumo could see a smoldering anger in her eyes as she said, “Yes, I want you to find everything you can on this company, and including the two bastards that attacked my genin.”

“Yes, milady,” Hinata said on her way to the information archives.

Tsunade closed her eyes and when she refocused on Yakumo they sparkled warmly. The young woman for the first time acknowledged her dress as she said, “I hope you don’t mind my clothes.”

“Not at all,” Tsunade said with a smile, “I understand how busy you’ve been. How are you feeling?”

“Fantastic,” Yakumo replied brightly but then added, “Actually better than fantastic. I didn’t know a person could feel this good.” A little nervousness entered her voice as she said, “W-why have you sent for me?”

Tsunade gave her a gentle smile to put her at ease before answering, “This has to do with the request you made to join the active duty roster tryouts in two weeks. You did manage to graduate the academy, but were forced to drop out when Kurenai sealed Ido away. Still you experienced quite a bit of physical deterioration since then.”

“I know Lady Tsunade…but I’m getting stronger.”

Tsunade nodded, but replied, “Yakumo I’m not trying to talk you out of trying. I’m just trying to caution you against rushing into it. If you fail the minimum wait to try again will be six months. However, if you simply wait another tryout will be in three months.” Tsunade saw her words reached the Kurama Clan head so coming around from her desk placed a comforting hand on the girl’s shoulder as she said, “Yakumo, I have little doubt you will one day make a fine kunoichi. But rushing through and scoring poorly will limit the duties you are assigned. You may still make it through the ranks but you’d have to prove to be an exceptionable shinobi to overcome a poor performance.”

“You mean a Naruto and Rock Lee type of exceptional,” Yakumo replied.

“Exactly,” Tsunade said turning from the woman to sit behind her desk again.

“Then would you please reconsider my request and reschedule it,” Yakumo said.

“Of course, you can get the necessary paperwork to reschedule downstairs,” Tsunade said.

Yakumo nodded and figuring the meeting was over turned to head downstairs. She stopped though when she touched the doorknob to ask, “Lady Tsunade… is Naruto in the village.”

“Yes, why do you ask?”

Yakumo blushed remembering the incident in the bath as well as some of the thoughts she had experienced since then. “Well… um… I’ve been looking for him but I get the feeling he’s been avoiding me.”

Tsunade turned to look out her window and suspected the reason was so that Naruto’s chakra would have a chance to run its course. Since it had been almost two weeks she knew that Naruto’s chakra wasn’t behind the girl’s desire to find him. “I’m sure it’s just your imagination.” Closing her eyes Tsunade sensed that Naruto was at his apartment and was not with any of his other lovers so said, “I believe he’s spending the day at home today. I’m sure if you head there now you’ll find him.”

“T-thank you,” she replied excitedly as she headed out the door to see if the Hokage was correct.

*****

Naruto yawned as he scratched his behind on his way to the fridge enjoying a quiet day at home. He opened his fridge and pulled a carton of milk out which he swirled around. He was about to take a drink when a knock came from his door. Not sensing any of his lovers he considered ignoring it but when a second insistent knock began guessed it wouldn’t hurt to see who it could be. Dressed only in his boxers and an A-shirt he opened the door widely.

His eyes shot open as did Yakumo’s open at each other’s state of dress. Yakumo reacted first spinning away from him saying, “Sorry.”

Naruto smiled as he looked down and said, “It’s quite alright. I’m actually wearing more compared to last time. Would you like to come in?”

Yakumo didn’t look back but nodded her head. Naruto stepped back as he said, “Come on in then.”

The young woman turned and nearly walked into his door frame but corrected enough to avoid the collision. She followed Naruto into the apartment and he asked, “Should I throw on some more clothes?”

“It’s okay,” Yakumo said taking a seat on Naruto’s bed, “I think we’ve seen plenty of each other.”

Naruto headed towards his fridge again as he asked, “Do you want something to drink?” Yakumo shook her head so Naruto grabbed the carton of milk he had grabbed before and taking a swig whipped at his mouth as he sat down in his brown leather chair. Giving her a bright smile he asked, “How are you feeling?”

“I think you know,” Yakumo said and filed away the strange look that crossed Naruto’s face.

“W-what do you mean?”

“I meant about how you healed me,” Yakumo said watching his strange behavior so she could decide to proceed with what had brought her there.

“R-right,” Naruto said standing to put the milk away.

As he passed her on his way to his fridge she grabbed his hand asking, “Naruto…why?”

“I already told you,” Naruto said wondering why she seemed so desperate for the answer.

“I-I know… but is there something more to all this. The chakra wave wasn’t enough to heal me otherwise you wouldn’t have needed to invade my bath. Since you already knew it was coming that means you were behind the first one as well.”

Naruto stared at her in surprise and she smiled as she said, “I was sick for a long time so read a lot of conspiracy books. I believe whatever you are up to is good for the village. I have no doubt about that, but is there more?”

“Well…um… I’m not really sure what you mean,” Naruto said not really sure why he was beginning to sweat a little as he sat at the edge of the bed.

Yakumo then shocked him even further as the woman said, “Sakura is in on your conspiracy that much is obvious. But I would also hazard a guess that Lady Tsunade and Lady Tsume are both in it as well. Tsunade obviously because of how close you are. But, Tsume was the one that submitted the bill that was causing such a fuss between the Hokage and Danzou.”

Yakumo slid closer to Naruto making him swallow heavily as she added a seductive quality to her voice as she said, “Then there are the aftereffects of my healing to consider.” She placed her hand on his boxers causing the blond to jump a little not exactly used to being the one having the moves placed on him.

Swallowing heavily he asked, “W-what aftereffects?”

“You know,” she said throatily into his ear since the blond was looking straight ahead, “the one that made my pussy tingle whenever I thought of you. It’s faded since then… although it’s tingling right now.”

Naruto turned his head to look at her and she seized the opportunity to kiss him. Naruto didn’t respond immediately more surprised than anything but when he felt her tongue run across his lips he broke the kiss to say, “W-what’s gotten into you?”

A little nervousness and fear appeared in Yakumo’s eyes as if she realized she may have completely misread what she thought was going on quickly said, “I-I’m sorry…I heard you were seeing Ayame… but it’s just with all these women operating on your behalf and how I felt after you healed me thought…” She trailed off before blurting, “Damn it, I’m an idiot… please forget what a fool I made of myself.”

Naruto grabbed her wrist as she tried to make a break for the door. Yakumo looked like she was about to yank her hand free till he said, “You aren’t wrong.”

Yakumo calmed and sat next to him saying a little in disbelief, “Really.”

Naruto nodded before smiling at her as he said, “I never took you for a conspiracy theory buff.”

“I wasn’t really until I got really sick and Uncle Unkai admitted to me how I ended up with Ido sealed inside of me. A tale about a strange, but friendly doctor sealing an even stranger chakra entity inside of a young baby to one day wreak havoc on her home. That’s like one of those conspiracy theories were a young boy is turned into a sleeper agent to one day rise up and become a kage to lead his village to disaster. Ever since then I’ve been fascinated by them.”

Naruto could see her point but feeling a little paranoid at how accurate she had been said, “Still it’s a little scary how easily you connected all the dots.”

“Not really,” Yakumo admitted, “I had the one piece of evidence that I don’t think anyone not connected to you and your plans had.”

“What’s that?”

Yakumo grabbed his hand and pressed it against the thin material covering her snatch as she said, “A tingle in my pussy, remember.” She began to rub her groin against it as she began to pant, “For close to a week all I could think about was how much I wanted you to have sex with me. After around five days it faded though and I realized that the reason you had kept away was because you knew that I was feeling like that.” Naruto could feel Yakumo’s shorts growing damp which coupled with her sultry voice had him sporting an erection he couldn’t wait to put to use. “That you knew what effect your chakra would have told me you had used it before and with my firsthand experience of how it felt I figured you must have used it before.” Naruto began to take an active role as he spun his hand to cup Yakumo’s pussy and began to rub it without her prompting. Yakumo leaned back to moan as she placed her hands behind her on the bed to lean back so she could spread her legs further apart resting one of them over Naruto’s thigh.

She closed her eyes as she moaned, “Oh yes… it feels so much better when you do it. Anyways…with a theory I began to listen for any rumors related to you…mmmm… you’d be surprised to learn that there is a whole gaggle of shop keepers that love to gossip about you. From them I learned that you had become quite the stud before settling your sights on Ayame, but you didn’t… she’s a cover. D-does she know?”

“Of course,” Naruto said as he pushed his hand inside of Yakumo’s shorts, “all of my lovers know about each other. But you already knew that.”

“Yyyyyeeesssss,” Yakumo hissed as Naruto pushed a finger inside of her. Her hands slide out from under her causing her body to fall against the mattress. “I-it’s the only way they could work so efficiently with each other.”

Naruto then pulled his hand from Yakumo’s shorts and showed her his drenched finger. The girl blushed but when he pressed it against her lips she immediately began to suck on the digit like a small cock. Naruto smiled at the sight before saying, “I take it you’re here to offer me your services then and to become one of my lovers.”

Yakumo nodded as she said definitively, “Yes.”

Naruto leaned down to kiss her tenderly in a way that stole her breath away. When he pulled away she stared up at the ceiling in a daze until she felt her hips being lifted up as Naruto removed her shorts. When he stared hungrily at her shaved mound she felt a little self-conscious so moved her hand to cover her slit. Naruto easily caught it around the wrist asking, “Why would you seek to hide such beauty from me? By morning I’m going to have become quite familiar with your body.”

Yakumo looked out the window to see it was still quite bright out so said, “Naruto its only early afternoon.”

Naruto gave a predatory grin as he said, “I know that will give me barely enough time.”

Yakumo’s eyes grew wide from what the blond was implying but also because around the same time his mouth was pressed against her pussy. “Oh my…” Yakumo whimpered as the jinchuriki licked her nether lips and she squealed as he pressed his tongue inside of her. Soon he added a finger to the mix and carried on like that for several minutes until Yakumo had her first true orgasm. Although while under the effects of Naruto’s chakra she had masturbate practically hundreds of times, none of the orgasm she had experienced could even compare as it left her glassy eyed and positive her soul had left her body.

She remained oblivious to the world until Naruto began to raise her hips by pushing her legs back. When her hips were over her head he had her hold the back of her knees. “W-what are you doing,” she asked confused as Naruto stood on the bed.

To answer the blond simply fished his hardened dick out and pressed it against her cunt causing her to hiss as if burnt. “Why I’m going to make you one of my lovers Yakumo. That is what you want isn’t it?” When she nodded her head Naruto began sliding his length against her slit making it wet with her arousal. Looking down at her, he pulled his dick back and as he pushed forward used his hand to press it down so that it slid into Yakumo’s tight entrance. He entered her slowly mindful of the fact that unlike most of his lovers she had not led a very active lifestyle so was not surprised when he encountered the barrier that represent her virginity. Coming to a stop he said, “This next part is going to hurt.”

Yakumo nodded her understanding so Naruto pulled back until he almost exited and then thrust forward ripping past her hymen. Yakumo cried out in pain so the jinchuriki remained still. When the pain faded Yakumo gave a small nod of her head and began to moan in a mixture of pleasure and pain as Naruto began moving within her. Yakumo felt totally exposed as she stared up at the standing blond as he piledrived his dick into her pussy over and over again. She could feel it kiss her womb each time driving her further and further over the edge in pleasure. Naruto placed his hands on her thighs to hold her body in position allowing Yakumo the ability to move her hands. She used the moment to pull her sports bra up to expose her petite breasts and began fondling them.

She began shaking her head back and forth as the pleasure grew to be almost too much to bear and began moaning, “S-so this is what sex is like…thank you…thank you for healing me…thank you for sharing this with me…”

She began to moan louder and louder as she neared critical mass and Naruto smiled down at her feeling his own end coming. About to blow he let go of her legs to grab her torso and pulled her up towards him as he sank down to his knees. Pulling her tightly against his chest smashing her breasts against him, he whispered into her ear, “Thank you for becoming a part of my family,” and then he exploded inside of her bathing her womb in liquid heat.

“Yessssss,” Yakumo screamed as she came and was positive that she died for a moment as a white blinding light exploded inside of her even though her eyes rolled into the back of her head. Naruto held her tight until she rejoined the land of the living. Placing her hand gently on his cheek she pulled him into a light kiss and after she ended it whispered, “I think I’m going to like being a part of this conspiracy.”

Naruto raised her hips until she was almost freed of his cock and then as he pulled her back down said, “Welcome aboard.” Soon the two new lovers were going at it again full tilt making Yakumo glad she had spent so much time dedicated to building up her physical strength.

*****

Kushina had been relaxing herself since Naruto had told her he had nothing planned for the day. Still she hadn’t been caught unaware having half expected one of her son’s many lovers to take advantage of his free time. In truth she had been rather glad that he had made up with them since she could tell Naruto was so much happier with them in his life. Plus she admitted that on a selfish note it did allow her some free time to explore her own needs without fear of being caught.

Deciding to take advantage of this latest moment she sat on the couch bathed in the green light and hiking up her dress began to tease her pussy by first rubbing her slit over her panties. She continued doing so until she felt her underwear grow damp with her arousal. Sliding the material to the side she put a foot on the hand rest of the couch as she spread her legs wider and then slid a finger into her folds. “MmmmMmmm,” she moaned while her other hand began to mash and fondle her breast through her dress.

She closed her eyes to indulge in some of the memories from her sex life with her husband including the one she was positive had resulted in Naruto’s conception. She pulled her finger from her snatch bring it up to her mouth to get it wetter as well as to taste herself on it. She had long figured that although she was performing the actions the whole endeavor was more of a mental exercise and as such the reason she knew her taste was because she had experienced it before being sealed in her son. Still she knew it was a worthwhile one as it did give her some relief from the sexual thoughts that sometimes assailed her.

Bringing her hand back to her pussy she began to rub it vigorously as she began moving her hips. She slid along the back of the couch until she was laying on it and used the foot on the hand rest to raise her hips faster. Moaning loudly now she figured she was close so tried to settle on the image she wanted to use to push her over. However it was chosen for her as her foot slipped due to her frantic movements causing it to kick over the lamp on the table.

It fell off hitting the floor and began to roll. Although it didn’t break its changing position caused the green barrier to shift causing her to come out of it just as Naruto pulled Yakumo up against him to whisper, “Thanks for becoming a part of my family.” Since her eyes had been closed Kushina saw, felt, and heard everything from the Kurama clan head’s perspective. She screamed in release as the feeling of being penetrated coursed through her body followed by the warmth that was flooding into Yakumo’s womb. Yet both disappeared as the lamp rolled back towards the couch to once more bath her in its green glow. Already missing the feeling Kushina upon realizing what had just happened simply said, “Oh no,” and began to dread the next time the light would switch on.
