Eroninja - Chapter 71

Chapter 71: Welcome to Club N: Part II




Samui snapped awake as a voice called, “Hey Samui, you finally convinced me to do an escort mission for that shipping company, and you’re going to play hooky.”

The blonde kunoichi felt a surge of panic, but she didn’t show it with action partially due to her knowing her head would make her pay for it. But also because of the warm comforting weight that was lying atop of her chest. A weight which shifted groggily as Yugito removed her head from the comfortable flesh pillows that she had been using as she said annoyed at her sleep being disturbed, “Who the fuck gave Karui the access code to the elevator?”

“I did,” Samui admitted earning her the former host of the two tails’ ire. It increased as she asked, “Can you tell her I’ll be down in a moment? I need to get in a quick shower.”

Yugito’s annoyance faded and she smiled as she said, “Yeah sure, you do smell like a thoroughly fucked woman should. Although, I’m pretty sure I smell the same.”

Samui moaned as Yugito gave her pussy a quick rub before leaving the bed. She watched the woman grab the slip of a dress that she had worn to Club N the night before from the floor, and quickly pull it on. The wrinkled garment and her frizzy hair definitely gave the impression of a woman that had spent the evening drinking and then rutting the night away. For the women of the Hidden Thunder Inn, that had meant returning via the teleportation seal and then continuing with the K-clones that had pretended to be them in case someone came searching for them due to an emergency. She and Yugito had ended up in her apartment as they had been pleasured by the clones that they had partnered with until they had exhausted themselves. Samui briefly wondered where Mabui had retired with the clone she had commandeered, but figured that if Karui had seen her in the common area, she’d be yelling in an entirely different way.

As Yugito picked up her high heels while leaving the apartment, Samui had moved to begin cleaning herself up. She smiled though as Yugito called from the balcony that contained the apartments down to the common area, “Calm the fuck down Karui. Samui will be down in a moment.”

***

Karui was about to respond in kind, but she stopped upon seeing the blonde jinchuriki walking across the balcony. The woman looked to have been in the midst of a walk of shame, but looking at her, Karui couldn’t see any shame at all. In fact, she looked like the very definition of a woman who had thoroughly enjoyed herself the night before.

She watched Yugito head to a separate room and step inside making Karui wonder why the woman had apparently slept in the room that she had emerged from. When the door closed, she again looked around the large open room that served as the Hidden Thunder Inn. However, to the red head’s eyes, she figured it looked more like a three story penthouse. She had never visited Mabui’s home before as she hadn’t been that close to her despite her being the Raikage’s assistant. She had been surprised though when her teammate Samui had moved into the building along the same time as Yugito had. Mainly as while she could see the white haired assistant living in such a place. It was a little harder to picture the two blondes having the money to do so. Although, she had figured that due to a downturn in the Kumo Economy before it had joined the Alliance that the housing prices had fallen. It hadn’t hit Mabui as hard primarily as her duties as the Raikage’s assistant provide her with a steady stream of income.

Karui had heard that a company had bought the building Mabui had lived in along with several others. It had then renovated them. But to Karui is looked as if they hadn’t so much fixed up the three floors where the three women lived, but had completely redesigned them. The first floor looked to serve as some sort of common area. There was a large television with several couches and chairs arranged around it set off to the side. There were other areas where people could sit and minge, such as a bar area, or dining table which had a door that led off to a kitchen nearby.

It also looked like during the redesign they had cut out the central floor and apartments so that the person from the first floor could look at the many doors along the second level that lined the walls which led to what she guessed were living quarters. The third floor looked to be a combination of the first and second comprising both living quarters as well as the areas set aside for other pursuits. She had heard that the roof had also been changed so that there was a pool along with a hot tub and training area. However, it was fenced off and a privacy barrier often sprung into existence when it was being used from her understanding. All in all, it did make Karui rather curious as to how her teammate had come up with the funds to live in such opulence.

She had come to believe that a part of it was due to Samui being one of the first to jump aboard the bandwagon in regards to the Great Tree Shipping Company establishing trade between the villages of Kumogakure, Sunagakure, and Konohagakure. While it had taken a while for Kumo’s economy to rebound due to the increased trade, those that had worked with the company in the beginning had apparently reaped some serious benefits. When most of Kumo’s shinobi had been scrambling to get assigned B or A ranked missions, those that had worked with the Konoha based shipping company had been able to count on a steady stream of them, including the high payouts they received from the company’s Gold Level Shipments. Since Samui and Yugito had been two of the earliest and at present were the only two kumo-nin trusted with Gold Level Shipments, not to mention Mabui being one of the people that had often worked the stall to assign the missions, Karui figured they had cleaned up. A benefit that the rest of the village was now enjoying as more and more jobs were passed their way as people began to feel the effects of the increased trade.

Karui had been rather stubborn about joining in, particularly with helping a Konoha company establish itself in her home village. Her primary reason being that she still hadn’t exactly forgiven the village that had given birth to the man that had tried to kidnap her teacher. But, looking around the penthouse where three of the first women to have done so got to live, she didn’t wonder if perhaps her stubbornness had caused her to miss out. Still, it had taken Samui quite a bit of convincing to get her teammate to go along on an escort mission destined for Konoha.

What had actually convinced her though was the pay which was deep into the A territory and bordering S-rank. Naturally, in most cases such a mission would be loaded with danger, since while it wasn’t exactly spoken of, most Shinobi Villages didn’t just take their customers at their word. In fact, in Kumo at least, although she was sure it was the case in the others as well, the Intelligence Division gathered intel not just on what the other Shinobi Villages were up to. But what was going on in the surrounding towns, villages, and cities within their own borders. The reason for this was obviously to know what kind of danger the village would be sending its shinobi into. However, despite having a rather keen understanding of what was going on around them and in neighboring territories. In the past, the Shinobi villages would let the Daimyo’s samurai or magistrates deal with the threats which they apparently rarely did, and would only step in should they be given a mission. Naturally, this was because for all intents and purposes the Shinobi villages were simply paid mercenaries on retainer of the particular Daimyo in whose territory their village was located. This meant that they were allowed to contract with others, but at the end of the day they were beholden to the Daimyo. However, in this arrangement the Shinobi village only prospered when they were given missions. So actively removing threats was actually harmful to their economies.

That was one thing that Karui could claim wholeheartedly was a true benefit of the Alliance her village had entered into, which was that there was actually now a discretionary budget to deal with threats which they were aware of, but hadn’t reached the point to where civilians were desperate enough to hire shinobi. After all, depending on the threat it was a major expense to hire shinobi to deal with even minor bandit groups as they often had at least one missing-nin. This automatically meant a mission would have a B designation or above. In most cases this was usually well outside the price range of your average Civilian. This coupled with the fact that most governors didn’t exactly account for hiring shinobi in their budgets, which depending on the threat could break them, so they would let the situation linger until forced into a corner or the civilians pooled their resources. This meant that by the time shinobi were called in; they were often accepting the life-savings of people that had truly been desperate. This didn’t exactly endear them to the civilians they were helping in most cases. Although, they still tended to recognize the skill and bravery involved.

Which was why to Karui, felt it was such a nice change of pace to be sent into a town or village before things reached such a critical point. It had highlighted for her that the bandit groups weren’t exactly idiots either, as they had been caught completely by surprise when a team sent by the Raikage using his discretionary funds had decimated them. In hindsight, she figured it made sense as the bandits likely kept track of when a mission request was sent so they could either leave for safer territory. Or, dig in and fight. Being attacked without a mission request being sent through the normal channels had completely blindsided them. It also caused the bandits to begin operating with less impunity. Since, they could no longer count on the fact that Kumo was going to wait until a mission was received; it meant that they had to be careful in committing acts which would earn them the Raikage’s consideration.

However, the missions handed out using the discretionary funds did tend to pay much less than similar ranked missions that were received under the more traditional request system. This was due to the Raikage trying to make those funds last, since the budget did fluctuate unlike with how the missions were assigned before as all the fees were included up front. Still, there was no shortage of volunteers for them since it did allow the Shinobi of Kumogakure a chance to act more like the heroes that they dreamed of being as children, rather than simply well compensated mercenaries. Plus, with traditional missions still being received from countries without Shinobi Villages, the increased trade, and companies like the Great Tree Shipping Company paying a premium for their services, there was plenty of work to be had. Not to mention, it did have the added benefit of Civilians outside of Kumo beginning to change their view of shinobi.

But looking around the Penthouse that Samui and the others called home, it appeared her teammate’s personal life had enjoyed even greater benefits then the village. She had also noticed an increased happiness in Samui over the past year. No small feat considering she still wore a calm mask most of the time. Yet, Karui had seen behind it occasionally mostly when on missions when the woman seemed to be staring off into the distance. She wasn’t always looking same way, but Karui would bet money that the same subject was always on her mind in those moments. Another change of note that Karui had noticed in Samui was how the busty blond never seemed to mention her assets in the negative. In the past, she had been able to almost count the minutes before Samui would allude to how her breasts were bothering her. It had always annoyed the red-head primarily since she was rather sensitive to her small by comparison bust. Yet, that seemed to be a complaint of the past. Karui had asked about it once when they had visited a hotsprings together, and remembered a content smile appearing on her teammate’s face as she mentioned finding a massage therapist that had helped her. Karui had asked about who it was thinking she could stand to enjoy a good massage, especially one that could make even a small smile appear on the blonde’s face. But all Samui had replied with was, “I’ll consider introducing you to him someday.”

Karui again looked around and figured the massage therapists name was the least of the things that Samui was holding out on her about. But she couldn’t exactly blame her, since although they were teammates; she had never been particularly close to the blonde. In fact, most times when Bee wasn’t on a mission with them, Karui had always figured that Samui was counting the minutes before they could go their separate ways. It had been an arrangement that Karui had been fine with as well, but as she saw Samui appearing from the room Yugito had moments before, suggesting the two had been out partying, a part of her felt like she was missing out. Particularly as her love life was flatlining since the boyfriend that she had been seeing put the kibosh on their relationship when she had made it clear her aspirations were to be more than a baby factory. She rarely talked about it, particularly since while most shinobi villages made use of kunoichi, it was with the caveat that many viewed their true duty as producing the next generation. Karui aspired to become Kumo’s first woman Kage, and while she would like to achieve that dream with a man by her side who supported her. She was finding that a difficult thing to find.

*****

“Sorry to keep you waiting,” Samui said shortly after Karui turned towards her. She was rather nervous despite the calmness her voice conveyed since her foxmark was telling her that Mabui was nearby, but she couldn’t see the Raikage’s secretary. As such, she believed that Karui’s appearance had caught the woman by surprise.

As she made her way to the staircase that lead down to the first level, Samui detected a slight tone of hurt mixed in with curiosity as the red-head asked, “Late night?”

Recalling the memories she couldn’t help the smile that graced her lips as she replied, “Early morning.”

Karui’s amber eyes reflected the hurt that she likely felt at being excluded. She didn’t comment on it due to their having more of a professional relationship then one based on friendship, but still her curiosity on what she missed caused the dark skin woman to ask, “Were there any hot guys there?”

“Only one,” Samui replied feeling a cold sweat breaking out on the back of her neck as she approached the closet where her sandals and tool pouch were stored. Hoping to distract Karui, she asked, “Can you call the elevator? It sometimes takes a moment to arrive to this floor.”

“I guess those are the hardships of those living in the lap of luxury, huh?”

Samui arched an eyebrow, but didn’t comment as Karui went to go enter the code that she had been given which would allow the elevator to reach their floor. She opened the closest door, and found Mabui kneeling as she sat on her Naruto clone’s lap. She was slowly riding his cock as he kept his hand clamped over her mouth to prevent her moans from coming out. Samui felt her pussy begin to moisten at the sight as she temporarily forgot about her guest. She remembered her place though as she heard the ding of the elevator so quickly leaned in to grab her sandals and ninja pouch. She did kiss the clone saying, “See you soon,” before closing the closet.

Hurriedly pulling her sandals on and treating Karui to the rear sight of the normally unflappable woman looking somewhat less than serene. She made a final adjustment just as she stepped into the elevator causing Karui to ask, “What’s the rush?”

“I just remembered that I have a massage appointment scheduled,” Samui said as the doors to the elevator closed. “I’m starting to feel a need for some relief.”

“Considering that we are late to meet the wagon that we are escorting back to the Leaf, you’re going to have to miss it,” Karui said with a frown.

“Oh, I don’t think so. The man I go to see about relief actually lives in Konoha,” Samui replied feeling Mabui’s pleasure through her foxmark leaving her with the image that she and the clone had likely spilled out of the closet as soon as the doors had closed.

She could see Karui actually perk up in interest since she had politely shot down her previous inquiries about who she was seeing. Giving her a smile, she asked, “Would you like to see if he can pencil you in an appointment? I’m sure once you’ve felt his hands on you, you’ll agree it is life altering.”

“Don’t you think you are overselling it,” Karui asked a small smile of amusement appearing. “It’s just a massage.”

Samui surprised Karui as she saw the woman give her a large wide smile that in all her years of working with her, she couldn’t remember seeing. But, something told her that in the life she had within the Hidden Thunder Inn, it was something that appeared quite often.

*****

Konan fought back a sigh as she concluded her pitch to the Suna council about reforming the Akatsuki and Councilor Gazo waited all of a heartbeat to shout, “You have got to be joking,”

A small smile graced her lips though as Temari groaned, and her mother Karura said in a stern whisper, “For fuck’s sake do you need to yell.” She blushed as she realized what she said so quickly added, “Please forgive my outburst.”

Konan’s gaze lingered on the mother and daughter for a moment, who both looked like they were nursing some rather powerful hangovers. Konan felt a moment of disappointment at missing out on the induction of the new woman the night before, but judged it was the correct call considering the current state of the two Suna kunoichi. Her gaze moved to Pakura, who also looked like she hadn’t wanted to drag herself out of bed. Being mindful of the women’s plight she replied calmly, “If it was a joke, Councilor Gazo, then I traveled a great deal for nothing it would seem considering the lack of laughter.”

Gazo scowled, but before he could reply Councilor Sajo leaned forward asking, “While stated bluntly, surely you can see where Councilor Gazo is coming from. It was a member of Akatsuki operating under your orders that kidnapped our Kazekage, and tried to destroy our entire village. Not to mention your organization harbored one of our greatest traitors.”

Konan nodded as she replied, “I can do little to change what has happened. I can only give my word that this new incarnation of Akatsuki only hopes to work towards maintaining the current peace that exists between the Shinobi Villages.”

“And what good is the word of a criminal,” Gazo said quickly.

“Please remember that you are addressing my guest,” Gaara said hastily, prompting a half-hearted apology from the Council member.

While not a Hardliner like most of his fellow councilors, at least those that were members from before Gaara was made Kazekage, Councilor Sajo proved his even temperament as he said, “Again, Councilor Gazo’s words while harsh, do contain more than their fair share of truth.”

Temari risked aggravating the ringing in her head as she said coming to her fellow Family member’s defense, “Let’s not forget that while we technically might have labeled Akatsuki a criminal group after Deidara’s kidnapping of Gaara, for most of its inception it was an organization dedicated to bringing peace to the Land of Rain.”

“None dispute that fact,” a councilor named Ryusa replied, “However, even after its terrorist inclinations were discovered could one not claim their goal was still bringing about peace. Not to mention, we only have the Lady Konan’s word that its goals were simply peace in its founding days. For all we know, their goals simply were small till they recruited men capable of forcing their ideals of peace upon the rest of us a reality.”

Konan leveled her gaze on the councilor before countering calmly, “Much as you of the Five Great Shinobi Villages forced your ideals of peace on those of us from minor countries and villages.”

Ryusa frowned but replied, “I’m afraid you will have to level that particular charge against Konoha. Suna had no role in the tragedies that befell your country. That fault lies squarely between Iwa, Konoha, and Hanzo.”

“I am not leveling any such charge against you,” Konan stated, “However, can you say the same for the countries that do share a border with you?” The councilor knew better than to deny that his village had likely caused suffering in the minor countries that the Land of Wind shared borders with so remained silent. Accepting his lack of reply as acquiescence to her point she continued, “This is not a forum though to bring up old grievances. Some newer than others true, but ultimately they are a product of a world that we can all agree is deeply flawed. Recently, all of us have made strides though to correct those flaws. The Alliance between Kumogakure, Amegakure, Konohagakure, and Sunagakure has shown all those present the benefits of working together.”

Gazo interrupted as he said, “Granted, I can’t deny that there have been short term benefits, but the issue I take with singing the praises of this Alliance is that in time they always fall apart, and then we’ll be at each other’s throats again.”

“It is thinking like that which insured those past alliances failed,” Karura stated quickly to mitigate the pain speaking would cause her.

Gazo scowled at the woman, still not used to a former Hardliner singing the praises of the current Alliance. Particularly considering Karura’s past vehemence whenever the old treaty with Konoha had been mentioned. Although, he had been annoyed when she had been given a seat on the council and revealed her new political beliefs. Having spoken to her about them when he had tried to bring her back over to his way of thinking, he could admit that he could understand why she saw the world through a different prism. Particularly, as she had explained that it was through that treaty between the Third Hokage and Kazekage, that her son Gaara had found the friend that helped guide him to become the current Kage and abandon the dark path her letting him become the Jinchuriki of the One-Tails had set him down. Still, while he could understand why she would come to believe in the current Alliance, he still thought of such thinking as naïve so replied, “It is thinking like that which has proved correct more often than not. This Alliance is only a few years old. The Second Shinobi World War lasted over a decade and saw alliances form and fail, only to reform again all throughout. I’m willing to give peace a chance, but don’t ask me to believe this current calm is the new norm.”

“The goal is to ensure that it is,” Gaara said his calm voice being a perfect punctuation to remind those present what they should be striving for. Focusing on Konan, he stated, “Having been one that needed to be forgiven for my past actions, I can understand why you wish to redeem the name Akatsuki. It is a legacy left of your past comrades before Tobi stained it with his darkness. I feel it also is prudent to remind those here that the Lady Konan is here merely as a kindness to explain her goals. She does not need our permission to proceed.”

“I thank you Lord Kazekage,” Konan said inclining her head. “However, some of my goals would require the aid of Sunagakure to work as I have envisioned.”

‘How so?” Sari asked before blushing since she wasn’t a member of the Suna council, but served as Gaara’s aide.

Her boyfriend covered for her breach of protocol by stating, “A fair question.”

Konan gave a slight smile before answering, “When Akatsuki was first founded our goal was simply to establish peace in the Lands of Rain. After Yahiko’s death, and Nagato and I lost our way, the goal changed to force peace upon all the Shinobi Lands. After all, Danzou’s betrayal showed us that even if we succeeded it wouldn’t stop the other villages from meddling in our affairs in order to further their own goals. This is something which in essence is likely still going on in the minor countries that border the Five Great Elemental Countries. No place was this shown greater recently then when Naruto Uzumaki revealed Iwagakure’s actions in the city that borders Fang and Claw. There it was revealed that Iwa was stirring resentment to cause a civil war to erupt with the most likely result being them stepping in to quell the chaos.”

Another Hardliner named Gouza asked sounding indignant, “Are you accusing us of operating in a similar manner as Danzou and his Root? If so, I for one must say that I…”

Due in part to the loudness, Pakura said, “Give it a rest? Let’s not forget that Joseki was running his own off the book operations. That isn’t the point she’s trying to make.”

Konan nodded before stating, “My point was to explain that these actions are still going on, not to assign blame. After all, it isn’t always inherently wrong since if a local government is seen as Pro-Suna then you would naturally act to insure that it remains so. But, ultimately when these actions take on their darker nature it does cause people to mistrust or even hate the Five Great Shinobi Villages.”

“How does Akatsuki fit into stopping this mistrust?” Gaara asked sincerely as he hadn’t consulted Konan beforehand in order to gauge his council’s reactions in a more honest light. He was aware enough that although he believed in Naruto’s vision. He didn’t want his own to be clouded by it, since as Gazo pointed out, since their inception the Shinobi Villages the natural state of being was as enemies. So, while he did believe in his friend, he also had to be sure that he always operated with Suna’s best interests in mind; otherwise he would be doing them a disservice.

“As you are aware, Daimyo Toki is making plans to create an alliance of minor countries,” Konan explained leaning back in her chair. “She is having difficulty getting all the principle players together since some of the feuds between those countries run as deep as they do among the Major ones. But, I believe it is only a matter of time before they realize the benefits, if only to prevent further Iwagakure plots from taking shape. Many of these countries do not have Shinobi Villages instead they rely primarily on villages like Suna, although in the past Konoha received most of those requests.”

“A perk they enjoyed under the old treaty,” Gouza said snidely.

To many of those present surprise it was Gazo that quickly said, “Perhaps, but one that they have rectified under the new alliance.” He sent a small nod to Karura aware that she would have likely made a similar counter argument before continuing, “As such, jobs that we used to receive from countries like the Land of Birds have been returning. Yet, if I’m correct in what you are about to suggest then that might no longer be the case. Instead, it seems that you are hoping to use this reborn Akatsuki as a means to poach jobs from us.”

Konan shook her head as she folded her hands on the table before her to reply, “I can assure you that will not be the case. But, it might affect you receiving jobs from these countries that is true.”

“How can it be both?” Gouza said mockingly, but wilted as he received several dark glares from the female councilors present due to his tone aggravating their hangovers.

Konan let him wilt for a moment longer before answering, “Akatsuki will not be a group accepting missions for pay, but one acting with the best interests of the Alliance at heart. Akatsuki will act as an organization to insure that plots such as what Iwagakure has put in place in Paradise City are exposed. We will also act to hunt down the remnants of Tobi’s forces as although they might be weakened. We cannot take it for granted that they are still not out there plotting. Being unaligned with a particular village will give us the leeway to search locations that would be closed off to the Villages that make up the Alliance.”

Sajo leaned forward in interest, but pointed out, “Not to call you a liar Lady Konan, but you can’t exactly claim not to have an allegiance to a village or country.”

“I am aware,” Konan said due to her dual role as village leader and Daimyo of Rain. “Which is why I want for the core members of this new Akatsuki to be comprised of shinobi from other countries as well. That would include Sunagakure. It would be my hope that people seeing that our members come from outside Ame would reinforce the idea it is not just an extension of Amegakure. Furthermore, it should quiet concerns among the Alliance that we are trying to pull the wool of your eyes.”

“And what about those much vaunted Minor Countries?” Gouza asked mockingly.

Konan gave a frosty smile as she explained, “They would be rather pleased with the idea I’m sure. A huge reason so many came to Tobi’s Akatsuki with requests was because the minor countries opinions of you and the other major villages were never that high.” She could see quite a few of the councilors were rather shocked by her pronouncement so explained, “Do not forget. Most of the fighting during the previous Shinobi World Wars was done in our backyards. When those wars began to bleed into your countries you quickly sued for peace. It has long been believed that the reason we minor countries exist in the first place is to act as buffers so you don’t feel the full effect of your actions. I will not belittle the lives lost during those wars, but how often have your homes been burned to ash for a war not of your making.”

The Blue haired woman’s tone hadn’t hidden her bitterness from the memories of her past. She suspected that as it was one of the few times that she had conveyed an emotion during the meeting, her point was not lost on even the Hardliners present.

For Karura, who had only seen Konan express happiness since meeting her due to her relationship with Naruto it was a sobering experience, so although she had conspired with the blue-haired woman to insure the meeting went her way, believed it was the proper course of action as she said, “I think we should put that matter to a vote. But, regardless of whether the council decides to support the reforming of Akatsuki, I would like to put my name forth as a potential member.”

She did regret it slightly as several hardliners began reacting loudly, but she smiled as Konan said, “I gladly accept your offer. Afterwards, we can meet up with the other woman that I’ve recruited.”

Konan then sat back to watch the Suna Councilors argue over the matter. Confident that they would ultimately agree since Karura’s statement had made it apparent that it was going to happen regardless. Konan felt a happiness settle over her as she took the first steps to redeeming Yahiko and Nagato’s legacy. Her chakra although already red, grew a shade or two brighter as she thought of the man that despite having a reason to despise that legacy still supported her in her own ambitions.

*****

Kurenai was surrounded in warmth as she slowly came awake which was the first sign that despite how crazy it seemed, the night before had actually happened. As the fog of sleep cleared, the events after she had let herself go began to replay for her to show her how she ended up nestled between Naruto and Yuugao. Her lips curled upwards as she recalled making out with Yuugao after she had welcomed her to what she called the Family. But, the ANBU captain soon pulled away to help her to her feet as she, Hinata, and Yakumo helped her off the stage.

She had been surprised at not feeling more self-conscious about what had happened afterwards as she was taken away, but supposed it helped that most of the women present were in similar states of dishevel. Those not currently still with a clone had clapped or raised a glass towards her. Another reason Kurenai figured she had not been too bothered by her letting her lusts run rampant was due to Anko taking the female server that she had learned was actually the Daimyo of Vegetable onto the stage where she removed the tape covering her nipples and after donning a harness with a familiar orange dildo had begun to ravage her. While Anko had been pumping the plastic phallus into Haruna, she had turned her face to begin sucking a Naruto clone that was standing next to her.

Kurenai having lost track of the real Naruto wondered if the one on stage was him, and had felt a pang of emotion she hadn’t really been able to place. She supposed a part of it was perhaps regret at her actions, since it seemed that now that he had his fun with her, she was being ushered off so he could enjoy himself some more. But before the emotion took hold, she was led into a room filled with showers. There the three women with her began tenderly cleaning her of the sweat and cum coating her skin. Kurenai moaned sleepily recalling the sight of Hinata kneeling before her as she began to suck the cum from her pussy while Yuugao and Yakumo continued to soap up her body. She shivered as she recalled coating her student’s face in her cream as she came from Hinata’s talented tongue. The Hyuuga had then let her taste her flavor which had been combined with Naruto’s by standing and kissing her.

The shivering from her recalling the erotic memories prompted the warm body next to her to pull her tighter against him causing Kurenai to awaken a little more as a smile graced her lips. She nudged her face into the shoulder she was using as a pillow while she reminisced on after being cleaned; she was given a robe which she wore as she appeared through the doorway on the opposite side of the shower room. There she found Naruto wearing similar attire and looking like he had just enjoyed a shower as well.

He gave her a charming smile as he said, “Hey, long time, no see.”

Kurenai couldn’t help letting out a small snort of amusement as she replied, “Actually, it seems we’ve seen quite a bit more of each other than we are used to.”

Naruto chuckled as he nodded. “True.” He then folded his arms across his chest as he added, “I guess before we talk about where this leads us, it is time for me to explain to you the truth of the world you now find yourself in.”

To say that Kurenai was surprised to learn all that entailed with becoming Naruto’s lover would be an understatement. Granted, there were parts she had already suspected, such as her being the last woman in the Hidden Eddy Inn to learn of his secret, or sleep with him. But, that she had also gained a kind of functional immortality, or that so much of the positive development between the Shinobi Villages was due to him and his lovers was something which had never even occurred to her. In truth, a part of her wanted to ask if he could remove the immortality and pretend the night had simply been a dream. After all, before that night she had been a woman that had been willing to deny herself the joy of a relationship and of sexual gratification because she felt she deserved neither. Yet, now she had learned she was being gifted with both on a silver platter and it might last for all eternity, which considering the happiness that she could detect from women like Yuugao made Kurenai aware of how badly she wanted it.

After explaining everything Naruto had asked, “So what do you think?”

Kurenai wasn’t sure so replied, “Honestly, I think I need to sleep on it in order to process everything.”

Naruto nodded before giving her a knowing smile as he said, “I understand. If you want, I can show you the entrance which leads to our apartments. The Den is connected to the Hidden Eddy Inn.”

For Kurenai, his simple response caused the woman inside her that wanted everything being offered, to grab hold and shake the portion that wanted to let the guilt she felt rule their life. Primarily as it highlighted for her how Naruto was able to make his many relationships work. After all, despite having seen her in a way few could claim to have, it obviously hadn’t lessoned his respect for her. Furthermore, rather than trying to compel her to accept him or pushing the benefits of joining him like a salesman trying to force a sale, he had simply given her the facts and was now giving her time to draw her own conclusions.

Yet, there was something else that she found that she wanted from him at the moment and figured it would be a way to further confirm that he was the man that she suspected him of being. “There’s a bed right here.”

Naruto had been in the process of turning to escort her from the Den’s Master Bedroom when she had spoken. He turned back towards her replying, “I wasn’t sure if you would be comfortable about sleeping down here. The others plan to keep partying the night away, and I can’t promise one or two will not make their way in here.”

Kurenai smiled coyly before stating, “There’s room.”

“That there is,” Naruto replied with a smile which she suspected was born of memories created on the large bed. Yet, rather than trying to use her words as an opening to create some with her, he began to walk towards her on his way to the shower room stating, “Sleep well Kurenai. I’ll ask that they try to keep their activities from spilling in here.”

As he was near Kurenai grabbed his hand and when he stopped asked, “Can you stay with me? I…it would be nice if at least for tonight I could fall asleep in a bed with someone next to me.”

Naruto’s blue eyes stared into her red one and although she wanted him to kiss her, and suspected he wanted the same, he refrained as he answered, “As you wish.” He led her to the bed, and climbed on first. Kurenai waited a moment longer, her hesitance due to her being unsure if she should follow the urge she felt from seeing the blond man on the bed. She resisted the desire to leap upon him and feel the pleasure he was capable of giving her again. But, she did drop her robe to reveal her nakedness to him. She had enjoyed the look of desire that appeared in his gaze, but she simply climbed into the bed next to him. She snuggled her body next to him and was glad she had disrobed so her skin could absorb as much of his warmth as possible which caused her to fall asleep within moments.

She wasn’t sure when Yuugao had joined them, but could tell the woman was also naked as she was pressed into Kurenai’s back. Kurenai although her eyes were still closed could tell that although still wearing his robe, it had opened at some point exposing much of his front. She was tempted to open her eyes to view the cock which had reinvigorated her, but wasn’t sure if she would be able to stop with just a glance. She felt Naruto shiver and then let out a soft groan. She found it strange that he would be cold considering how he had warmed her. Yet, she quickly realized it wasn’t due to the room temperature as she heard a wet slurping noise.

Her eyes snapped open and she looked down Naruto’s body to meet the soft lavender white eyes of Hinata. Her student let Naruto’s cock go with a pop before it was quickly swallowed by Yakumo as the Hyuuga tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. Giving her sensei a joyful smile, she said, “Good morning Kurenai-sensei. Did you sleep well?”

Yakumo after bobbing her head over Naruto’s length several times answered for her teacher as she said, “Oh you know she did. Especially from the smile she wore as she was sleeping.”

Hinata nodded before lowering her face to Naruto’s cock where she ran her tongue over one side, while the Kurama clan leader gave the other a similar treatment. The two women then each rose up to the tip, where they each kissed it while trying to kiss each other rolling their tongues about to push it between them.

Naruto groaned from the attention before his eyes popped open. He looked down and let out another pleased moan as he couldn’t resist pumping his hips. But as his gaze settled on Kurenai, he tried to say, “Oh shit, girls you know I love waking up like this, but…”

His voice was silenced as Kurenai decided her mind had been made up the moment she had asked Naruto to lay with her so kissed him. He stiffened in surprise at first, but relaxed into it moments later. As he enjoyed the taste of Kurenai’s lips, he could feel her hand traveling down his stomach until she gripped the base of his manhood. He groaned as she began to stroke what Hinata and Yakumo couldn’t swallow as they took turns sucking his cock.

Kurenai pulled away to stare into the pleasure filled eyes of the man that she was going to take as a lover going forward. Not as a desperate woman whose lusts had overcome her reason for a time, but with the belief she could potentially build something beautiful with him. Looking down where her two students were working together to pleasure the dick which had made her feel incredible she realized it wasn’t only with him that she would be building a future with. Giving a sultry smile she said, “Okay girls, let sensei have a turn.”

She smirked as her two students complied with a quick, “Yes Kurenai-sensei.”

Kurenai kissed down Naruto’s stomach before reaching his dick which while still giving it slow strokes, she ran her tongue around the head of it. Naruto groaned as her tongue swirled around his cockhead, while her hand traveled over his shaft. She then kissed the end, before slowly engulfing him with her wet, warm mouth. She moaned around him as Naruto lifted her hips so that she straddled his head and quickly began to dine on her pussy.

Their actions awoke the last kunoichi on the bed, who smiled upon seeing her friend lying atop of her lover while giving and receiving pleasure. Her gaze drifted to the two kunoichi kneeling at the foot of the bed as they watched their teacher suck the man they shared and could tell they were also happy to see Kurenai embracing the life that had been offered to her. Moving to join them, Yuugao positioned herself between Hinata and Yakumo before asking amused, “So Kurenai, would you say after last night that you got what you wanted or what you needed?”

Kurenai let Naruto’s dick go as she moaned loudly from the blond’s tongue probing her depths. Meeting her friend’s eyes, the dark-haired beauty answered, “Both!’

Yuugao smiled, as Kurenai returned to pleasing Naruto’s rod. Addressing the two younger women, the ANBU Captain said, “Don’t let her have all the fun girls. She’s liable to hog him all to herself.”

Hinata and Yakumo shared a smile before they leaned forward to join the jounin in using their tongues to bath Naruto’s dick. A short time later they also began to moan as Yuugao knelt between them and slipped her middle finger into each of their wet snatches. Yuugao’s pussy began to coat her thighs in its honey as she watched the three women take turns taking him into their mouths hoping to entice his dick into releasing its cream filling.

Hinata and Yakumo were currently waiting for their turn to pleasure his shaft so busied themselves by sucking on his balls. A few heartbeats later, Kurenai let him go with a wet slurp as she sat back on Naruto’s face and began to fondle her breasts. Hinata quickly seized the moment and replaced her teacher’s mouth over his cock. Focusing her tongue on the underside of his head she felt him swell and hummed around his length as she prepared to receive his seed.

Kurenai let out a wail as she began to climax from Naruto’s tongue. He then groaned into her as he began filling Hinata’s mouth in turn. The Hyuuga caught his seed until she couldn’t hold anymore. She then pulled away with a pop catching a string of cum on her cheek. But, before she was hit by another Yakumo quickly capped the cum geyser which she swallowed down eagerly.

Hinata smiled as her teacher stared at the cum coating her face hungrily and then opened her mouth to show her the lion’s share. She then pulled the red-eyed woman into a kiss where they passed his thick essence between them. Yuugao removed her fingers from Hinata and Yakumo as she frowned at being left out. She waited until Yakumo let Naruto’s cock go as she began to swallow his seed to grab hold of it and finding him still hard said, “Well since no one saw fit to share with me. I’ll have to see about coaxing out some for myself.”

Naruto finished drinking Kurenai’s essence and slipped from beneath the kunoichi as she heatedly made out with Hinata. Sitting up, he smiled at Yuugao as she sank down on his cock to say, “Now there’s no need to be selfish. I’m nowhere near tapped out yet.”

Yuugao smirked, but simply pulled him into a fierce kiss as she began grinding herself into him. She moaned as much from the cock buried inside her as from the taste of Kurenai that still coated his lips and tongue. She felt someone press into her back as their hands came around to begin fondling and teasing her breasts. She ended the kiss and looked over her shoulder to find Yakumo was kneeling behind her. Yuugao let out a moan as the Kurama began to pinch her nipples while she began to place kisses along her neck and shoulder. She tightened her grip on the blond as he cupped her ass, and began to bounce her on his cock causing it to pound against her core in a steady rhythm. She locked her feet behind him and pulled herself tight against his body trapping Yakumo’s hands between them. Still, the Kurama leader simply began tonguing the ANBU woman’s ear causing her to shiver between the two bodies she was sandwiched between.

Yuugao leaned her head back against Yakumo shoulder as her pussy began to coil around Naruto’s drilling shaft. Her increased tightness made her quite aware of when his cock began to grow even larger letting her know her womb’s thirst was about to be quenched. Naruto slammed her down on him fully causing her to scream as he began to fill her with his seed. She tightened her grip around him as she climaxed before falling back into Yakumo who gently set her down.

The ANBU captain mewed softly as Yakumo leaned over her to begin licking up the cum that was emerging from the sated woman’s snatch. Naruto looked over his shoulder to see that both Hinata and Kurenai were lying side by side as they continued to kiss while rubbing each other’s bodies. Sliding up behind Hinata, he raised her leg in the air asking, “Do you mind if I join?”

“I think you know the answer to that,” Hinata replied before moaning as Naruto’s cock penetrated her.

Naruto moved slowly within the Hyuuga as Kurenai leaned back to take in the sight of her student being taken by the blond. She then caused both of them to moan as she reached for where they were joined and began to rub them. Her actions prompted Naruto to speed up, along with Hinata beginning to rock her hips along with her sensei’s rubbing. Kurenai felt a presence behind her so looked back to find Yakumo had joined them. She felt something hard being pressed against her pussy so looked down to find that the Kurama had donned a similar harness as Anko had worn the night before. Spotting a cabinet door ajar which was located between two of the many pillowed benches built into the wall of the room, Kurenai guessed it was where the women stored the toys that they used to entertain themselves while waiting for a chance to join Naruto on the bed.

She moaned as Yakumo lifted her leg in the same way Naruto had Hinata’s and then slipped the orange dildo inside her. As the woman moved at a similar pace as Naruto, Kurenai looked over her shoulder to begin kissing the woman that she had trained in the art of genjutsu. Their tongues rolled about wildly before she gasped as Hinata began to rub her pussy like she was massaging the blue haired woman’s.

Soon both Naruto and Yakumo began to speed up. This caused the soft moans of Kurenai and Hinata to grow in volume as there depths were more vigorously explored. Kurenai was surprised as Hinata moaned vulgarly, “Oh, fuck…yes Naruto… don’t stop. I… I want your cum inside me. Fuck me harder…”

Naruto followed his lover’s request as he began fiercely stabbing her with his cock. This caused Hinata’s to stop her rubbing of Kurenai’s snatch as she instead grabbed the woman for support. Kurenai felt her pussy grow even more desirous of the orgasm Yakumo’s thrusts were building within her. Looking back at the brown-haired woman, who was using a copy of Naruto’s dick to fuck her, she said, “Yakumo, it seems you’re falling behind. I know you can fuck me harder than this.”

Yakumo smirked from the tone Kurenai used which reminded her of when she had been teaching her. “Yes, sensei,” the kunoichi replied as she redoubled her efforts.

Kurenai moaned loudly as her core was prodded over and over again by the rubber phallus. “That’s good… just a little more…faster…”

Despite Yakumo’s efforts, Hinata reached her end first as she cried out, “Yes! I’m Cumming!!!!!”

Kurenai watched Naruto jam his dick all the way inside the Hyuuga as he pumped her womb to excess with his cum. Her own climax as a result caught her by surprise as Yakumo followed suit. The pressure against her core caused her to bury her face into Hinata’s breasts as she cried out in release. The increased pressure Yakumo felt as Kurenai’s cunt bore down on the false cock as she tried to extend the woman’s orgasm by pumping it more caused her to reach her end as well.

Kurenai watched Naruto place his face against Hinata’s as he held her tight while they recovered their breath. Yakumo mirrored his actions as she snuggled tighter against Kurenai. The four of them wore contented smiles as Yuugao said teasingly, “Sure, leave me out again. I’m really starting to regret giving you those answers Kurenai.”

Kurenai laughed lightly as she stared down at the foot of the bed where Yuugao sat with her legs spread as she rested her arms on her knees. “I’m sorry to hear that, because there’s no going back for either of us.” She climbed from between her two students to crawl towards Yuugao, then to punctuate her point she kissed the ANBU captain passionately. She pulled back with hooded eyes as a thin trail of saliva connected them, before then lowering her face between her friend’s thighs. Yuugao moaned out as her tongue began to dance over her slit. She felt a shift behind her and moaned into the flavorful pussy she was enjoying as Naruto knelt behind her to push his cock inside.

Griping Yuugao’s hips to be able to enjoy the woman’s cunt as Naruto’s pounding made it hard to stay on target, she looked forward to what other new experience the day would bring as she grew accustomed to her new life and Family.

*****

Taji rubbed her hand between her thumb and index finger where the foxmark she had been given resided. A moment later the hand was engulfed by another as Naruto took it and began running his finger over the spot. She smiled at the blond man as she would admit to being rather nervous since she was currently waiting on a pronouncement of her condition from Tsunade and a red-head named Karin. The female Uzumaki was currently bent over a microscope as Tsunade stood behind her.

She looked at Naruto out of the corner of her eye and could tell he was rather nervous on her behalf. The fact that he had set aside time to attend the meeting was just a small gesture she knew, but it meant the world to the ANBU medic. It showed her that Naruto truly did view their connection as being a relationship, and was there to support her just as a boyfriend would for a woman he was seeing when visiting a doctor.

The reason for this particular visit was to insure that the spores inside her weren’t making any further modifications to her DNA, then had already been made. Although rather sure that her new abilities were the extent of the changes, she did feel a small spike of alarm as Karin said, “Hm, that’s curious.”

Naruto though was far more nervous on her behalf as he asked, “What is? It’s not bad is it?”

“Relax,” Karin said looking up from the microscope as she pushed her glasses down again, “It appears that the spores have finished their modifications quite some time ago. The samples located in this slide are not from the ones located in her blood, but from a swab I took of her saliva. Yuugao has noticed that over the course of the past few weeks that male members of her squads have begun acting differently towards Taji. She suspected, and appears to be correct, that Taji has a similar ability to release pheromones to make people susceptible to her as you do.”

Taji had noticed how the men around her seemed more willing to please her and would often jump through hoops to fulfil her suggestions or desires. She frowned as she thought of the implications considering her new relationship as she said, “I thought they were just being welcoming. I didn’t mean to manipulate them.”

“I wouldn’t worry about it,” Karin said, “Now that we know about it we can try to dial it back as Naruto does in most cases. But, I also believe it is just the tip of the iceberg for this ability. This sample contains pollen that I believe originated in your lungs. It also seems to be similar to the spores Furofuki used to infect you. If I’m correct, then it is possible that you could in essence take direct control of someone, or at the very least make them extremely susceptible to your commands by breathing this pollen on them.”

Taji felt rather uncomfortable at the idea of being able to do to others what Furofuki did to her. “I see.”

“We can perhaps experiment on learning the strength and weaknesses of this ability at a later point,” Tsunade stated picking up on the woman’s discomfort. “The reason I had Karin join us had less to do with that, but with how Naruto doesn’t seem to be affected by your presence. Believe me, when Yuugao brought her concerns to me. I made sure to monitor Naruto for any changes in behavior.”

Taji was rather surprised by Tsunade’s statement. Not by her keeping her in the dark about her concerns, since the woman had more than demonstrated the lengths she would go to protect Naruto and her Family. Her surprise though stemmed from the fact that Naruto’s behavior hadn’t changed, especially as he had been the most welcoming and supportive man in her life currently. Realizing it was just a part of his normal behavior caused her to smile at him and grip his hand a little tighter. Focusing on Karin, she proved her own medical knowledge was impressive as she said, “It is because his semen was what brought the spores back to life. When he bound me to him, it nullified this ability in regards to him.”

“Correct,” Karin said, “Although you are mistaken in one part. It wasn’t his semen which brought the spores back to life. It was his chakra.”

Taji frowned as she considered the implications of what she was told. She had assumed his semen had been the cause behind the spores returning to life precisely because rejuvenating her had been the expected end result. She quickly realized the mistake in her thinking since while it might have been one thing to restore cells damaged by time, or even reversing the effect. Actually bringing something back to life was quite another. Her eyes grew wide as she said, “Are you saying…”

“That’s right,” Karin said quickly, “His chakra has the ability to restore the dead back to life. We knew of this ability for some time, but this little miracle has provided us with some concrete answers to theories we’ve been floating.”

“What theories?” Naruto asked confused, “And why wouldn’t you tell me them?”

“Because my love,” Tsunade said amused, “We are scientifically minded women by nature, while you are not. You tend to just accept things as is, while we like to think about the deeper aspects of them.”

Naruto pouted as he said, “So basically you are saying that you feel that you would have just been wasting your breath.”

His pout deepened as Tsunade replied, “Yes, although I feel I phrased it quite politely.”

“I thought so,” Karin said joining in on the teasing.

“Thank you.”

“I get no respect,” Naruto said causing Tsunade and Karin to laugh together.

Taji smiled, but her curiosity got the better of her so asked, “I find it strange to believe that neither of you considered the possibility his chakra would restore the spores if it was an ability he demonstrated in the past.”

Karin shrugged as she replied, “Well, I suppose the best reason why we didn’t is because in the past it required massive amounts of energy to return the dead back to the living. When he did it for Haku, it had been his mother’s intention to return Haku and save the sacrifice that was used. She was left drained in the aftermath. The same could be said with Mito. Both times there was a conscious design behind the return. The third time was Karura, but in that instance it was a byproduct of getting caught in a massive release of his chakra. In this case the sacrifice was not brought back, but again we were dealing with massive chakra requirements.”

“I understand,” Taji said as she pondered what she had been told, “Therefore, you assumed that it was the level of energy which sparked this ability to return the dead to life. As such, the small chakra charge contained in his ejaculate wasn’t considered enough to trigger this side effect. Plus, since it was large amounts of Bijuu chakra involved you thought it was the Bijuu’s chakra. But now it might just be Naruto’s own chakra.”

“Precisely,” Tsunade said, “As you no doubt realize the reason the binding requires him to cum inside our wombs, unless are chakra networks are weakened through other means is that it passes this charge to us and taints our chakra at the weakest point. It is also this charge that allows a father to pass on his chakra nature to his child along with his DNA.”

Taji nodded, as she expanded the theory, “Yes. But the charge is only viable for a short period of time. Children artificially inseminated after several hours almost exclusively inherit the mothers chakra nature. The times vary slightly, but it is believed this charge fades in time.” A look of understanding appeared on Taji’s face as she said, “Ah, so that was the reason for the show you put on. You suspected that if you waited then I wouldn’t end up bound to Naruto as this charge would have faded. You wanted the sample to be as fresh as possible.”

Tsunade nodded, and seeing her lover was struggling to understand asked, “Are you following us so far, my Love?”

Naruto sighed admitting, “Not really. I understand that my cum is basically what Binds a lover to me. But now you’re saying that it’s not really that, but my chakra. But now my chakra, which I assumed was a byproduct of containing Kiyomi’s Bijuu form, can also restore the dead to life.”

Karin hoping to help said, “Thinking of it this way. Your semen is simply a protein shake with an expiration date in regards to binding a woman or rejuvenating dead cells. This is because the chakra flavoring goes bad really quickly. However, Kiyomi’s modifications do not have those same timing restrictions. Therefore, had Taji opted to be inseminated through the medical procedure with a sample that had been attained even a day earlier then she would have gained all the benefits of Kiyomi’s modifications that your seed grants without the Binding coming into play. But by the same token, she would have been just your run of the mill ANBU.”

Naruto nodded finding Karin’s explanation helped. “Okay, but what about how you were talking about it taking massive amounts of energy to restore dead cells.”

Taji had an idea and wishing to see if it was correct said, “I’m guessing it is because in the past to restore the dead to life was done on humans. The spores by comparison are relatively simple. I’m guessing that injecting a corpse with his ejaculate wouldn’t cause it to return to life.”

“Probably not,” Karin said, “Although it might cause it to come back as a sex starved zombie like out of one of Anko’s horror flicks.” Karin began wiggling her fingers before her as she said spookily, “Hear that Naruto, don’t take up necrophilia or else it could lead to a zombie apocalypse.”

“I’ll keep that in mind,” Naruto said drily. “But, I do have one question then. How was Kiyomi able to bring Sage back to life?”

Karin and Tsunade shared a look before the Hokage admitted, “That’s actually a very good question. To be honest, we should try to figure out if it is an ability that is unique to you and her. It’s possible that it is an ability your mother and my grandmother might also share now.”

Karin nodded eagerly as she thought, “We can use the dead spores harvested from dead duplicates. By having them channel chakra into them and seeing if they respond we should be able to quickly determine the truth. This might also reveal if the Black Kyuubi or its host has a similar ability. Personally, I believe it is going to be unique to Naruto and Kiyomi, with a possibility of Kushina as well.”

“Why?”

Responding to her lover’s question Karin said, “Kabuto’s likely the one that made off with Sora. Therefore, he’s had him long enough to run a whole gambit of tests and experiments on him.”

“He has been rather quiet though,” Naruto countered. “Maybe it is because he no longer needs to get his hands on my chakra.”

“I don’t think so,” Karin said dismissively, “Keep in mind that Kiyomi’s chakra was poisonous to most individuals. I believe we have developed an immunity to its harmful effects to it thanks to you. But in the past it would have killed cells not brought them back. Therefore, anything born of her before she was sealed into you would likely have a similar negative consequence on living cells, let alone bringing them back. I believe that it might be her exposure to you over a period of time which passed on this ability to her, much as your exposure to her lead to your being able to handle her chakra. Your mother simply made use of a Kiyomi’s original form which was exposed to your combined chakra. If for example your mother hadn’t been connected to Kiyomi’s original body, then her attempt to save Haku and Kin probably would have failed.”

Tsunade nodded in agreement as she stated, “We’ll be able to prove this by seeing if any of the other Bijuu can bring the spores back to life. But, Karin’s theory is pretty sound so I’m willing to bet they’re going to be unable to.” Focusing on Taji, she continued, “In the meantime, we’ll continue to monitor you to make sure the spores inside you don’t pose a threat. But for now I see nothing of worth to be concerned about.”

Taji looked relieved as did Naruto, who helped her off the medical table that she had been sitting on. Tsunade watched them leave before turning to head to her desk where she was working on an experiment of her own. An experiment that if was successful would unlock the power she knew was hidden inside her DNA and a power that every despot or villain from Madara to Danzou wanted for themselves. As such, she only thought it right that she claim it as her birthright, to help usher in the ambition her family was working towards and to keep it out of the hands of those working against it.

*****

Kurenai stepped into the dining room of the Hidden Eddy Inn at suppertime as her first day as Naruto’s lover came to a close and felt a small smile grace her lips at the scene that awaited her which was born from a sense of content. The reason of which was unlike before where she had always felt as if the scene she would come upon had recently been reset for her. Now she felt as if she was stepping into a natural environment, which she was sure for most outside the inn would be anything but, especially as it was comprised of half-naked women all huddled around a single man. She smiled as Ino wearing a loose fitting robe rested her head on Naruto’s shoulder as he continued to eat ravenously. Even without the foxmark now placed on her ankle, Kurenai would have been able to feel the pure sense of contentment radiating off of the Yamanaka. By comparison Naruto seemed rather nervous about something so seemed to be using food as a means to compensate for it.

Taking an empty spot at the table she began to fill her plate as Tenten asked him, “What has you eating so quickly, Naruto?”

Before Naruto could answer Ino said, “He’s just worried about Yukata’s little plan.”

“What plan?” Sakura asked looking up from some notes that she had complied for Tsunade in regards to what had been learned from research conducted on the duplicates. She wasn’t sure why the Hokage seemed so interested in learning how Furofuki had melded her DNA with those of plants and her grandfather, but Sakura could tell it had ignited a passion in the Senju.

Ino smiled as she said, “Yukata plans for Naruto to seduce a bunch of women still yearning for his touch.”

“Accept they don’t know it’s me,” Naruto said stopping to eat for a moment.

“Oh hush lover,” Ino said amused at his anxiety. Explaining to the others present, she focused on Sakura as she said, “It turns out that ghostly ruse you helped him established has left quite a few women besides Yukata haunted by their experiences. In fact, they started a support group to help relive those moments.”

Naruto sighed as he said, “I really didn’t think that plan through. But seriously, who could have predicted this. I mean I didn’t even use the Temptation Touch on them.”

Ino laughed musically as she said, “Honestly Lover, how you continue to underestimate your effect on women is beyond me. Sitting around this table is all the proof that you should need in regards to your prowess as a lover.”

Naruto knew there was a certain truth to Ino’s words, but still felt admitting it would be rather conceited. He supposed the same could be said for false humility, but still found it hard to believe there were women still hungering for the Ghost’s touch, especially as they had no idea who it had been creating the feelings in them.

Sakura smiled practically able to see the gears of his mind turning. Speaking from experience, she said, “Really Naruto, sometimes I miss the old you. He might have been a loud-mouth braggart, but confidence was never in short supply.”

“Maybe, but that confidence wasn’t exactly warranted.”

“At times,” the pink haired kunoichi admitted, “But, regardless it carried you through the day. The pure confidence that you would become Hokage so would best any obstacle inspired those around you, including me. In fact, I wanted to protect that dream for you even when I thought you weren’t wise enough to recognize it was in danger. It caused me to nearly fail the first chunin exam since I was positive you didn’t see the true meaning of the test.”

Naruto scratched his cheek in embarrassment as he admitted, “Truthfully, I had no idea. I just knew I couldn’t back down. It just kind of worked out in my favor.”

“Then this situation with these Suna kunoichi isn’t really any different,” Sakura said quickly. “You might not have seen the long term ramifications, but just have confidence that it is something working to your benefit. Speaking from first hand knowledge being in your arms is rather addicting, even if they can’t see the handsome man attached to them.”

Naruto smiled causing Kurenai to say, “So these were the type of conversations I missed out on before.”

“Indeed,” Miya said although she was still fully dressed despite Kureani’s inclusion in the Family. “Although it wouldn’t just be conversations your arrival would cut short.”

Tenten alluded to what it was the landlady meant as she sat back and slipped off her panties. Displaying her wetness she said, “Now that you mention it, I believe I was the person enjoying a little after meal exercise the last time we were interrupted.”

Ino smiled as she made Naruto groan as she began to massage his dick through his pants. Giving the weapon user a knowing smile she said, “That just means you get to go first. I think now is the perfect time to unveil the new way of enjoying desert.” Naruto gulped as his lovers closed in around him making it clear that from now on he was definitely on the menu.

*****

Sara stopped her camel as lights illuminated her before she reached the passage that led into Suna. She patted the side of her mount to calm it as it reacted to being blinded and from sensing the appearance of several Suna-nin in front of it. Having expected as much, she had fared much better so remained composed when the man in charge barked, “Identify yourself!”

She noticed the men tense as she removed the veil covering her face to keep the dust from her airways as well as to help the process along. “I’m the Lady Sara of the Roran Tribe. My caravan is still several hours out, but I rode ahead to announce its impending arrival as well as to visit my daughter.”

The Suna-nin pulled out a packet and flipped through several pictures before holding it up to compare. After a moment, he replied, “Very well. The Lady Seramu informed us you were coming. You may proceed forward after submitting yourself to a scan. Your caravan will have to wait until sunrise before being allowed into the village. We will need to search it and we do not conduct them until light.”

“I understand.”

“Good,” the Suna-nin replied, “Are you carrying any weapons?”

Sara smiled as she wanted to reply with a flippant comment about being a lone female rider at night in the desert so naturally she was armed. However, aware that the man was simply following procedure and that he asked as a simple lie there could imply she was there for nefarious reasons said, “Quite a few actually.” She then quickly began producing them, included among the weapons was a well-crafted replica of the chakra blade her dream warrior had given her. She handed the weapons to a kunoichi, before the man in charge raised his hand. Sara felt slightly uncomfortable for a moment before he proclaimed, “She’s clean. I detect no more weapons on her.”

Sara during past trips to the village, even before becoming Naruto’s lover, as Suna was one of the places her tribe visited to peddle their wares had asked how they could be sure, especially in a world where seals could be used to stash weapons. She had been politely rebuked so could say that one small benefit to becoming Naruto’s lover had been to finally have her question answered, which was that even weapons hidden in seals still gave off slight magnetic waves which altered a person’s magnetic aura calling attention to the locations. Confident she wasn’t hiding anything, the kunoichi returned her weapons causing Sara to nod politely to the guards as they stepped aside and the light illuminating the area shut off. Prompting her mount forward, she proceeded through the long entrance to find the village still quite alive.

Not an overly surprising thing as the sun had only full set an hour before her arrival, but she attributed much of the activity to being a result of Suna placing much of its entertainment district near the entrance. Sara understood the reasoning since after a harsh desert ride; she felt a desire to enter many of the establishments to get a soothing drink. She ignored the desire as she figured her daughter would have something prepared for her since she had alerted the guards of her arrival. Turning down a side street she saw several companies that also had a reason to be stationed near the main entrance. She approached the one that had the sign which read, “Great Tree Shipping Company: Suna Branch.”

She prompted her camel to kneel near a post in front and after getting off tied the reigns to it. She noticed a pair of women approaching and although she had never met them in person, she knew they shared a common point of interest. Sara felt rather eager to meet them since unlike most of the women tied to Naruto, she didn’t get a chance to slip away as often due to her tribes constant traveling. Therefore, her encounters with Naruto were generally reserved for when they reached a village or town where they could expect a degree of privacy. Although, Sara smiled they had often included her daughter as well. That was at least before the last time they had visited Suna.

The women reached her and she was a little surprised when the blue-haired woman said, “Good evening. You would be Sara, correct?”

“Yes, how…”

The blonde woman beside the one that had spoken answered the unfinished question, “Naruto has spoken a great deal about you. Although to be honest it would be easy enough to see from the resemblance with your daughter.”

Sara smiled, but said, “I’m afraid you have me at a disadvantage then. Although to be fair, most of my encounters with Naruto do not leave a lot of time for small talk.”

The two women shared an amused smile before the blue-haired woman said, “I can imagine. I am Konan and this would be Karura.”

“It is a pleasure to meet you both,” Sara said with a smile. “What brings you out tonight? Was it just to make introductions?”

Karura sighed as she said, “Truthfully, we have business with the woman in charge of this trading post. We wanted to arrive earlier, but my council meeting dragged on all day.”

“It is understandable,” Konan said beginning to head towards the building, “You did drop quite the surprise on everyone about leaving the council to join Akatsuki.”

Sara spun towards the blonde woman asking in surprise, “Why would you quit the council to join a…” The former queen of Roran stopped as she was about to describe the group in a less than favorable way as she realized the Konan had used to be a part of it as well from rumors she had heard in her travels.

The woman she was afraid of offending gave her a slight smile that showed amusement as she supplied, “A criminal organization. Believe me, you would not be the first to have labeled it as such today. Sadly, it is an accurate description for how we conducted ourselves for a majority of the time it existed. My goal is to reclaim our original intentions and restore Akatsuki’s honor. Karura has agreed to help in that endeavor.”

Sara nodded in understanding before stating, “I’m guessing that you are recruiting women associated with villages that might be hesitant to see Akatsuki restored to help calm their fears you are up to something sinister.”

“Yes,” Konan answered, “As well as to provide another example of people from various villages working together. It’s sad to say, but Akatsuki was one of the first to recruit shinobi from villages that could be considered enemies with each other. I just wish our goal had been a noble one.”

They reached the entrance of the building and giving the door a quick knock proceeded inside. Sara had been to the Great Tree Shipping Company’s Suna office many times as she worked with Guren in securing supply routes and goods. Their ventures tended to be successful, but Sara had known that the former Sound-nin had been rather out of her element. The Branch office had shown that in past visits by having stacks of papers lying all over the place. Not to mention a wall of them which usually resided on the desk Guren sat at.

Seeing the branch office was currently spotless, Sara smiled as she suspected the change was a result of her daughter’s help. It was easy to imagine as Guren was currently napping at the desk which except for the paper she was drooling on was clear. Seramu appeared from the back room and spotting her mother said, “Mom!”

She closed the distance between them to wrap her in a hug, her sudden movement being enough to wake Guren. The woman snapped to attention and seeing Karura and Konan had a similar exuberant reaction as she leapt over the desk asking, “Did they go for? Please tell me they went for it so I can get out of this dusty hellhole.”

“This hellhole is my home,” Karura said with a frown.

Guren didn’t offer an apology as she replied, “I meant this damn shipping company. I’m not cut out to be a merchant. I was drowning in a sea of paperwork before Seramu agreed to take over for me.”

Seramu had progressed from hugging her mother to kissing her in an undaughterly way. She paused their kiss leaving a strand of saliva connecting them to say, “You handled yourself quite well. You just didn’t have the stomach for the paperwork that followed.”

Guren nodded before turning to Konan to ask seriously, “There’s not going to be paperwork in this Akatsuki of yours, is there?”

“None you need to concern yourself with,” Konan replied with a smile feeling her new Akatsuki was off to a good start, at least in terms of atmosphere.

“Good,” Guren said before turning sympathetically to Seramu to add, “Then this dive is all yours.”

Konan held up her hands as she cautioned, “Not quite yet.” Guren looked somewhat perturbed but relaxed as Konan explained, “Suna was but the first step. Granted, Konoha is more of a courtesy as we will have the votes there to proceed. But, convincing Kumogakure that reforming Akatsuki is a good thing will be a tough sell.”

Seramu pulled away from her mother as she moved to sit on the desk that would be hers once Guren left as she would be taking over the outpost, “To be honest, I’m not sure why you feel the need to have your plans approved by the villages that make up the alliance. Wouldn’t it be easier to just reform it, and have your actions demonstrate your intentions?”

Konan sighed as she said, “I wish that was the case. But I would like for this incarnation to contain members tied to not just villages we wronged, but to almost be viewed as a reformed vision of the one Tobi took control of it. To that end, I would like it to have members such as Karura who are not leaving Suna in disgrace. The only way to achieve that is with its leadership’s permission, and granted Gaara could have given his mother his blessing. But having it go through the council gives it just a bit more legitimacy then it might otherwise have.”

“It must not have been easy if you are just now visiting us,” Guren said concerned.

Karura put the woman she would be working with in Akatsuki at ease as she said, “Actually, the council didn’t take that much convincing. I think Konan surprised them with the knowledge that citizens of the minor countries are not exactly found of the Five Great Shinobi Villages. They were the ones that would hire Tobi’s Akatsuki rather than say Suna or Konoha. It was how they attained a good percentage of their funding.”

“Really,” Seramu said surprised, “That it was made up of S-ranked criminals didn’t bother them.”

Konan nodded as she explained, “You could say it was in some cases a selling point. Most of the major battles from the Three Great Shinobi Wars have been fought in minor countries. It has long been believed that we minor countries existed as a kind of buffer so that these wars could be fought without impacting the major ones. It hasn’t gone unnoticed that whenever a war turned too poorly against a major country that suddenly the Daimyo stepped in forcing the villages in their territory to sue for peace. The Second Shinobi war was an exception, but this was mainly because Hanzo killed the Daimyo of Rain Country and tried to unite the lands under him. It was a major free for all, but even then it was mostly fought in minor countries until the end when Konoha began winning on three fronts. It pushed into Wind, Earth, and Lightning and probably could have decimated all three shinobi villages, but was called back by the Fire Daimyo. This I believe was something the Third Hokage desired as well so he complied. Hanzo’s ambition was mitigated by trade embargos that Iwa, Grass, Stone, and Konoha all agreed to which decimated The Land of Rain and was why Yahiko’s Akatsuki formed to depose him.”

Sara’s kingdom had been a city-state that had existed within the Land of Wind so despite it possessing a potential powerful weapon in the Ryūmyaku it had remained relatively conflict free. Therefore, she couldn’t profess the same mistrust of shinobi that people from minor countries might have. But she had seen it among citizens within the Land of Wind as well. Mainly due to shinobi showing up only when paid to deal with threats that didn’t potentially endanger their villages. It was one of the things that made the tribal lifestyle that she now lived so dangerous since bandits could almost operate with impunity until people threatened by them scrapped together the large sums of cash needed to deal with even some of the weaker outlaw groups. It was a feeling that she had noticed shifting lately in the shinobi’s favor primarily since with their home village’s economies changing to depend less on money from missions. Suna, Konoha, and Kumo were targeting bandit groups even before they forced the civilians in their homelands to pay for their services. As such, many civilians were viewing the shinobi as being more beneficial protectors then the territory governors and their samurai magistrates. It was a sentiment that hadn’t yet begun to reflect poorly on the Daimyo primarily since it was still commonly believed that the Daimyo and Kage worked in conjunction to protect their countries. But Sara knew it wasn’t exactly how the system worked, since the tribute the Daimyo provided was more to keep the shinobi on retainer than to actively deal with threats unless directed to.

With that in mind she asked, “Aren’t you concerned that you’d lose the support among the minor countries by seemingly working with the Main Villages?”

“It is a concern,” Konan admitted, “However; Toki has encountered considerable resistance with even getting the leaders of the minor countries together. So relying on them to help support Akatsuki is a difficult proposition to begin with. Plus, for now the main goal of it would be to curtail plots that start in the major shinobi villages but affect the minor. The most grievous offender may be Iwa currently, but men like Joseki and Danzou both operated in similar manners.”

“So meeting with the leadership of the Main villages is about putting them on notice as well,” Guren said in understanding. “Is that why you were so late? I bet that didn’t exactly sit well, especially with the Hardliners on the Council. I’m sure even with the Council’s permission the Hardliners will be a pain in the ass for us.”

“You’d be surprised,” Karura said with a note of caution, “Not all Hardliners can be just summarily lumped together. Most of them were just as disgusted by Joseki’s actions as everyone else. His disgrace before his death has also forced many of them to reconsider what being a Hardliner is. They might not be jumping on the let’s bring the villages together bandwagon, but we can’t assume they are all plotting in the shadows to break the villages apart.” She could see her point that labeling those that didn’t share their views as future obstacles before they proved themselves to be, could be considered little different then refusing to accept the idea that the villages could work together and thus work against it as Hardliners like Joseki had. “In truth the reason we were so long delayed was because the Council didn’t wish to wait in picking my replacement. Many of the Hardliners as you can imagine did wish to nominate someone that shared their views, but ultimately someone without a well-known political belief system was chosen.”

“Really?” Guren said in surprise since she knew the Hardliners had at first been glad when Karura was revealed to the village as they saw a chance to gain a new voice on the Council. When it was revealed that her political views had shifted, naturally many of them had been angry. As a result, Guren couldn’t imagine the group not trying to gain the seat for themselves so knew the person selected was either extremely strong, or whose actions on the village’s behalf were such that being viewed as opposing their selection to the council for political reasons would reflect poorly on the person or persons doing it. Suspecting it to be the latter the crystal user said, “Whoever it is, they have to be pretty popular if the Hardliners were willing to give up on your seat.”

“Again you might be surprised,” Karura said with a hint of amusement as Guren blew out a frustrated breath at being corrected again. “Gaara nominated the new head of the Suna Medical Program Ameno to fill my chair. She has basically done for our medics exactly what Joseki hoped to achieve by kidnapping Rin. It hasn’t been lost on some of the Hardliners that she has achieved this by working with Konoha, particularly Sakura. In fact, Gazo who was so against forming an Alliance with Kumo actually convinced his fellow Hardliners to back the vote. It still took a bit of convincing, but at the end of the day they saw the wisdom in it.”

Guren had heard good things about the Jounin medic. She did attribute the woman’s rank though to primarily being due to Suna’s shinobi on average being less talented then Konoha’s. It was a gap that was primarily born of Konoha’s Shinobi Academy structure and with Konoha’s aid in developing Suna’s curriculum it was a gap that was closing. Still, it meant that becoming a Jounin in Suna didn’t have the same level of skill attached to it that it did in Konoha. Keeping that in mind she asked, “Who did the Hardliners nominate before backing down?”

“They nominated her teammate actually,” Karura said feeling glad that Ameno won. “He’s a shinobi named Koji. I suspect he was made aware that the Hardliners were pushing for him to join the Council. He showed up like he expected to be named there. He does have some skill particularly in Taijutsu as he can manipulate sand to a small degree to form hardened weapons. Still, I believe the better candidate did win today.”

“Do you think she will make a good addition to the Family?” Seramu asked giving her lips a slight lick at the idea.

Karura smiled as she said, “Perhaps. But it was my understanding that plans were already underway to increase our flock’s size in Suna.” The women perked up as they felt the presence that signified the plan that had just been mentioned was already underway. The women smiled at each other and decided to head to the newly christened Hidden Oasis Inn in hopes their lover would pay them a visit afterwards.

*****

Yukata sat in a gym that the youngest children of Suna’s Shinobi Academy used to practice their skills. The mats that they used to cushion their falls where currently stacked off to the side. It was also the place where all the students would gather for assemblies or demonstrations. As such it was rather oversized for the current meeting which consisted of her and five other kunoichi. Not to mention a guest of honor that had yet to make his presence known. Four of the women much like herself had experienced Naruto’s touch while he had been using the Ghost persona to lure in Pakura. Because of that Yukata felt a certain kinship with them, which had only grown as the women had shared their experiences with the Ghost.

The puppeteer’s gaze settled on Selphie Tilmitt first as she had led off the night’s discussion since it was agreed that Yukata would go last. She was wearing her standard outfit which consisted of a hybrid yellow mini-dress slash overalls. Yukata wasn’t surprised to learn the unique piece of clothing was something of her own design. On her feet rather than the standard Shinobi sandals, she wore brown boots that reached just above mid-calf. Yukata felt it was fitting that the kunoichi led things off since she also happened to be the group’s first member, outside the founder. An event Yukata learned was in part set in motion by Sari when she had impersonated the woman heading up the Suna Paranormal Support Group, Quistis Trepe, to approach Selphie in order to learn more about the Ghost. Sari had done so mainly due to issues she had been having with intimacy between her and Gaara, so had been drawn to the rumors. But, by posing as the Suna Academy instructor it had caused Selphie to seek out the genuine article and talk about what she had experienced when she had trouble forgetting her time with the Ghost.

Needless to say Quistis had been rather shocked to learn that women who had been a part of the Training Force had been groped by some invisible stranger. But likely more so to learn about just how many of the women had enjoyed those experiences. Yukata suspected that the true reason for the Suna Paranormal Support Group’s existence was to allow Quistis to monitor them just in case there was something sinister going on behind the scenes.

She noticed Selphie rub her thighs together as the woman talking went into details of how the Ghost had made her feel. Yukata took the opportunity to go over other facts she knew in regards to the kunoichi. From what Yukata had learned Selphie was an orphan, but still seemed to possess an upbeat personality. However, she suspected that it existed for a similar reason that Naruto had forced himself to be happy as a youth, since it would be too easy to fall into despair otherwise. She also knew the woman was something of a gearhead as she was one of the people often consulted whenever the black-market tech someone was manufacturing from Snow Country’s designs was captured. For the most part that consisted of a few chakra suppression devices that were liberated from gangs or bandits that Suna had eradicated, but Yukata knew it was a matter of time before a set of chakra armor appeared. Particularly, after what had happened during the Whirling Tides Manor grand opening. It wasn’t the only piece of Snow Country tech that Selphie was infatuated with as she also seemed to love trains so dreamed of one day riding one. At present, Yukata knew of only two countries that had them with one being Spring Country while the other was the Land of Honey. Selphie much like her, was also one of the first women to have visited the Summoning Circle. This was because she had also been present for the story when Sakura had first told it after Naruto tested the circle out on her.

Her gaze next drifted to the blonde woman sitting next to Selphie. She was listening to the current speaker as well, and also was struggling against the desire to give her likely dripping pussy a discreet rub. Yukata knew the woman was something of an outcast, mainly due to her heritage as an Al Bhed. Rikku noticed her staring so gave a quick smile before looking away again. Yukata noticed that peeking up from beneath the orange tank top she wore the woman’s nipples were hard. She couldn’t blame the girl as her own were hard enough to cut glass although it had less to do with the story as opposed to how she imagined the night going. Fighting the urge to begin rubbing her pussy, she busied herself with recalling the details she had gleamed about the woman.

For starters she knew that Rikku was the only Al Bhed in Suna’s forces. This was due to a long standing feud between her tribe and Suna. The Al Bhed unlike most tribes that called the Land of Wind home were not migrant in nature. Instead, they made their homes in ancient ruins which dotted the deserts. They also tended to explore for more, which upon discovering they would then begin to study. However, the locals where these ruins were discovered tended to view it as grave robbing. This in the past had often led to Suna being hired to drive the Al Bhed out so the locals could then profit from the tribes hard work. The Al Bhed though refused to be pushed around so gave as good as they got thus resulting in the bad blood between them and Suna since its inception.

Surprisingly it was Gaara’s father that made the first overtures to settle their difference by signing a nonaggression pact with Rikku’s father. It had prevented Suna from accepting missions geared towards driving the Al Bhed out of whatever ruins they discovered. As such it had forced the locals that genuinely were interested in preserving their history to work with the tribe. To many that did, they learned the Al Bhed respected the ruins almost more than the original owners did.

Yukata suspected that one reason for the Fourth Kazekage’s decision to establish relations with the tribe was because outside of gaining access to the vast amount of knowledge the Al Bhed had about the history of the world, they were also amazing engineers and inventors. She suspected he had wanted to eventually incorporate them into Suna in order to put their knowledge towards building war machines for the village. Regardless of the Fourth’s reasons, Gaara had stepped into his father’s role as peacemaker although Yukata knew it was to genuinely see the bad blood between Suna and the Al Bhed put to rest. To that end, he had suggested an exchange program between Suna and the Tribe. It couldn’t exactly be considered a success since to date Rikku was the only Al Bhed to accept, while Yukata was sure whichever Suna member was exchanged had been assigned the job. Still, Rikku proved to be an upbeat and caring individual causing those willing to look beyond her heritage to form quick friendships with her. Considering their shared interest in technology, Yukata wasn’t surprised that Selphie and Rikku were close friends.

The woman speaking finished causing the others to begin clapping which Yukata joined in. She took the time to study the woman as she sat back in her chair and who was dressed in desert camouflage pants, and wearing a simple white A-shirt. Her attire did little to hid how her nipples were standing erect as much from reliving her memories as from hearing the experiences of the others. Yukata was friends with the woman as they hung out in the same circle of kunoichi which consisted of her, Matsuri and Sari. It had been Kashike, who had first clued the Kazekage’s girlfriend into the existence of the Ghost. She had done this when she admitted that her relationship with a shinobi named Tsuchino had fizzled out due to his failing to live up to the Ghost’s skills in pleasuring a woman. Although Kashike hadn’t gone into great details about it while she had spoken, Yukata knew the reasons extended much deeper than just a failure at making her climax. But, that it also extended to Kashike’s desire to have a satisfactory relationship that didn’t also derail her shinobi career.

This was because Kashike was currently the only female ANBU within all of Suna’s forces. A goal she had been striving for since being a child first entering the academy and which had caused her to pretend to be a boy throughout most of her career. Granted none of the academy instructors or her jounin sensei had been fooled, but they had admired her dedication to her goal and maintaining her ruse. A ruse which had eventually come to an end as her body developed and her breasts could no longer be hidden away by taping them down. Kashike had eventually come clean with her fellow classmates including Tsuchino, who had probably been relieved that the boy that occasional flirted with him was in fact a girl with a crush. Yet, she had maintained her dedication to joining the ANBU which had paid off shortly after the Training Force had returned to Suna.

The reason that she had gone to such extremes to join the ANBU division, was ultimately what led to her failed relationship with the boy that she had desired throughout the Academy. Which was mainly that while under the current system kunoichi were respected and valued, that respect always came with the assumption that they were in essence playing at being shinobi. That mainly their time as genin and chunin was mainly just the period in which they searched for a husband before settling down. It didn’t escape Yukata’s notice that while there were women like Tsunade and Yuugao that achieved important positions within their villages, it was also generally because they had lost lovers thus in essence freeing them to raise to higher ranks. As far as Yukata knew, Tsume was the lone exception to this rule among Naruto’s lovers. She imagined that even the Mizukage, who was suspected to be a woman, had some sort of tragedy in her past that had prevented her from getting married and starting a family. Ultimately, she found that was one of the reasons Naruto was so successful with the kunoichi that he targeted, which was that he encouraged them to become stronger and stronger, and didn’t expect them to put their careers on hold. In fact, she could easily imagine that if Naruto did change his mind about having children one day, that he would gladly stay home to take care of them while his women went on to achieve greater and greater prestige in their careers.

She suspected it was something that, while it hadn’t brought Kashike to the Ghost, it was something she could gleam from her time with him, and thus what had kept her coming back. She suspected her involvement with the group was because the woman regretted ending things with the Ghost so that she could start a relationship with Tsuchino after making ANBU, especially as despite his only being a Chunin had made it rather clear he expected her to retire should their relationship progress to the point of children entering into the equation. Kashike had been unwilling to do so, especially as upon achieving her goal now had her eyes set on becoming the Head of Suna’s ANBU division. A goal she knew that Naruto would wholeheartedly support her in, even if it didn’t benefit the Family’s goals.

Yukata’s gaze settled on the woman speaking and would be the last before her. The Puppeteer couldn’t exactly call Sen a friend, although they had worked together on occasion and took the Chunin Exams together several times. The blonde haired kunoichi had achieved the rank in the exam held just before Pain’s Invasion of Konoha as a good portion of the Genin in the Training Force had been called away after dealing with the Prison Rebellion to attend the exams.

She had also appeared in the same Chunin Exams that Yukata had taken part in along with several Konoha kunoichi that she was now tied to throw Naruto. There Sen had been partnered with a kunoichi named Yome and a shinobi named Shira. The three had been together as a team ever since graduating the academy and Yukata recognized the two kunoichi both respected Shira due to the hardships that he had overcome to achieve his rank. Particularly as Shira could not use Genjutsu or Ninjutsu and as a result had been barred from entering the Academy. Still, he had not been deterred training himself using unorthodox means to overcome his weaknesses. In time his skills in taijutsu had caught Gaara’s eye, who made an exception for Shira.

Shira would end up becoming a Chunin in the exam after having faced Rock Lee, the shinobi that had caused Gaara to do away with the rule. Despite the exams being called after only two tests, Gaara had seen fit to promote both Shira and Ameno, both of whom were having stellar careers. Shira’s though had taken him away from Suna and the friends that had supported him when no one else had. Sen didn’t fault her teammate for it since he had always planned to return to man the Suna outpost up north near his home village. But she felt he had been rather cold in how he had dismissed Yome’s feelings for him. Yet, at the same time Sen was also partially grateful for his telling Yome to stay behind as shortly after making Jounin and being assigned to his desired positing he had been part of a mission in which he had been the only survivor.

Yukata knew the Northern outpost was not a place that most people willingly chose to be assigned to. In the past it had been a way for Suna to deal with troublemaking shinobi as it was located in an area called The Earth Corridor. The reason for this was due to it bordering the Land of Stone, which was close allies with Earth Country and as such was where most spies from Iwagakure tried to enter the Land of Wind. Naturally this made being assigned to the Northern Outpost one of the more dangerous assignments a shinobi could receive, and as such troublemakers either shaped up or were dealt with, usually by the hands of an Iwagakure shinobi. One of the reasons Gaara had agreed to assign Shira to it was he hoped his attitude and work ethic would rub off on the rest of the Shinobi stationed there.

Shira’s presence was having a positive effect from what Yukata had heard, but she suspected it was because he had been the only survivor of a mission that had claimed a good portion of the Jounin and Chunin that had been stationed there before his arrival. The mission had been a simple C-ranked one which had been to return a merchant’s daughter who had run off to join a cult with her boyfriend. According to the official report, neither of the two had made it to their destination as they had run across a bandit group that had killed the boyfriend and sold the girl into slavery. The Jounin and Chunin assigned to bring them back had run afoul of the group and engaged in a fight in which Shira was the only survivor. He had been found unconscious in an area just isolated enough that the investigators ruled that he could have been overlooked. Shira had claimed that a lightning jutsu had hit near him blasting him away from the battle. Considering how most of the men killed had also been blasted to pieces by Lightning Jutsu it had been easy to believe that the one behind it hadn’t been too worried about survivors. Not to mention Shira had stated the attacks appeared from out of the blue since up till then the Suna-nin had things well in hand.

From what Yukata could tell the incident was the reason why Sen had upon making Chunin decided to enter into Suna’s intelligence gathering division. The blonde hadn’t come out and said anything, but Yukata believed that Sen was of the opinion that there was something more to the incident then Shira was perhaps letting on. An opinion that Yukata shared as the Cult that the two lovers had supposedly wanted to join was the one that had sprung up after the appearance of the Black Kyuubi. She knew that at present the Bijuu were somewhat wary of the group due to their veneration of the Moon and because of their incorporating the appearance of the Black Kyuubi into their doctrine. Granted the Cult hadn’t been tied to any nefarious dealings, but Yukata was willing to bet their being at the heart of what happened was not a coincidence.

As Sen continued to describe one of her times with the Ghost, Yukata shifted her focus to the woman that had founded the Suna Paranormal Support Group. Quistis Trepe was a strange case in that her ranking was officially listed as Instructor. The reason for the unique title was that although many considered her a prodigy, it was all on paper. She had very little actual combat experience although she had put her time in as a genin that was the last official rank she had achieved. The reason for that was due to her possessing a unique Kekkei Genkai that allowed her to copy certain jutsu, but the downside of her ability was that she had to be hit by them first. Naturally, it was an ability which Suna would love to develop but at the same time the risks were considered too high. Therefore, as Quistis was the last person with her bloodline alive, she tended to be kept in reserved, and since a person couldn’t be promoted to Chunin without going through the exams the special Instructor title was created for her.

This left Quistis in a unique position in regards to how her fellow Suna-nin treated her. Most of her students adored her, with a number of them calling themselves “Trepies” in honor of her. However, while many of the kunoichi that she instructed still thought of her fondly, a good deal of the shinobi resented her special treatment. Yukata suspected that no one resented it more than Quistis though. She had heard more than one person disrespect the woman by claiming that, “Those who can’t, teach those who can.” Quistis though didn’t seem to let the disrespect bother her as she still performed her duties admirably.

Yukata smiled as she suspected that even her starting the Suna Paranormal Support Group was born out of her dedication to the village. After all, having been made aware of a group of women being influenced by some unknown individual, she had taken it upon herself to monitor them. Her smile turned a little lecherous as Sen described the way the Ghost’s fingers had felt as they rubbed her sensitive insides, and she noticed the instructor squeeze her thighs together. Noticing the slightly older kunoichi squirming in her seat in a similar manner as the others, she decided to proceed with her plan since to be honest she felt Quistis might have been the one obstacle to it. However, confident that she desired to experience what the others had, Yukata didn’t doubt her own contribution to the meeting would be well received.

*****

“Thank you Sen,” Quistis said as the woman finished her story. The woman nodded as the other members clapped in support. The instructor figured it was also to keep their hands from running over their bodies or teasing more intimate spots. Quistis tightened her grip on the notebook she used to record the stories. She claimed it was to help mark the women’s progress in getting over the feelings the Ghost had left them with, but more often than not she used it to fuel her fantasies when she took care of her sexual needs. She directed her attention on Yukata as she said eager to hear some new tales, “Please lend your support to our newest member Yukata as she opens up to us.”

Yukata smiled, and then crossed her legs an action that for a moment showed those present that she wasn’t wearing any underwear due to her wearing a light summer dress. Quistis couldn’t say she was surprised since she knew some of the other women tended to go without during the meetings, as on more than one occasion they had excused themselves to “freshen up.” Still, unlike other new members in the past that at first were embarrassed to be admitting they were still desirous for the touch of a man that they had never seen, Yukata seemed almost proud. She rested her hands on her just crossed knee as she said, “Hmm, well where should I begin.”

“Since this is your first time speaking,” Quistis suggested helpfully,” Perhaps tell us what brought you to the circle in the first place.”

Yukata shrugged as she replied, “I guess, but as far as really juicy stories that one is kind of boring. I mean unlike most of the women that would visit it later. For me it was actually my interest in the paranormal that brought me there. I mean the idea that someone created a seal that bound his soul to the mortal plan was just… exciting. I guess you can say I was a little disappointed when it turned out to just be a pervert.” Quistis noticed an amused smile appear on Yukata’s face and she had the sense that the woman wanted to turn her head like there was someone else present who might be offended by her words. “But as just about everyone here can attest. That disappointment didn’t last long.” Yukata closed her eyes as she said in a breathy whisper, “It’s hard to put all the feelings into words. But, there’s something magical about a man that knows his way around the female form. It isn’t just about the pleasure he was capable of giving though… it was hard to describe at the time… but now, I guess I would say you could tell he took making us feel amazing as his personal goal as thanks for letting him explore our bodies. It really is pretty amazing when you consider we weren’t the ones he was shooting for.”

Quistis and the others sat forward in earnest with the instructor asking, “What do you mean?”

“I mean those of us here lamenting about not still experiencing his touch were just byproducts of a plot to bring another kunoichi into his arms,” Yukata answered.

Quistis frowned at the woman’s reply since she had feared the Ghost had been some kind of enemy agent hoping to lead some kunoichi of Suna astray. “Where did you hear this information?”

“That’s jumping ahead a bit don’t you think,” Yukata said with a coy smile. She then continued, “Like most of you when the Training Force disbanded, I found myself haunted by what I had experienced with my Ghost. It probably comes as no surprise that my puppet was inspired by him and our time together. There’s a very specific reason he has such a delicate touch and can turn invisible. But, as I’m sure you can all attest. There’s just no substitution for the real thing.”

Rikku frowned as she said sounding hurt, “But you said he didn’t view us as anything but afterthoughts to the woman he was really after.”

“Did you feel like an afterthought when you were with him?” When the Al Bhed shook her head in the negative Yukata said, “That’s because when he was with us in the summoning Circle he was there for us. The reason I said we were byproducts was because he underestimated his impact on us. He had simply thought that it would be an enjoyable experience for us until the kunoichi he had set his eyes on became interested. Then afterwards when the Training Force disbanded, we’d all go our separate ways. I for one though couldn’t get those experiences out of my mind, and so dedicated myself to recreating them. I even went so far as to recreate the summoning circle.”

Quistis while still alarmed about who the Ghost was after, but felt her interest peak at the revelation and noticed that the other women’s had been as well. Naturally they all had the same question on their minds which was, had it worked?

Yukata didn’t need to hear it put into words as she told them, “It didn’t seem to at first, but then one day.” She uncrossed her legs giving the women a clear view of her wet slit as she spread her legs in order to lean forward to put her hand on the ground. From where she touched a circle of Kanji spread out until it reached the walls of the gymnasium. It then coated them in a blue chakra that caused the walls to take on an almost otherworldly appearance. For those women that had visited the Summoning Circle before, they instantly recognized the effects although it was much larger than the one they had visited in the past.

Sen sat forward in earnest asking, “A…are you calling him here?”

Yukata didn’t seem to hear the question at first, causing Sen to frown but then she noticed that Yukata’s breasts seemed to be moving slightly. She let out a soft moan, and it became apparent that the room had another unseen occupant as the outline of hands appeared beneath her dress as they began to fondle her tits directly. Yukata gasped as the hands reached her nipples and began to pinch them.

Yukata focused on the Blonde Suna-nin as she answered her question, “He been here since I arrived. I told you that he tends to underestimate the effect his presence can have. So I thought it might be beneficial for him to hear how you all still had feelings you couldn’t part with. I know this because I was the same.” The hands retracted from her dress and then Yukata was lifted into the air. Her legs were spread wide apart displaying her pussy for the gathered women. The lips of her pussy began to move as something slid along them. As the puppeteer’s wetness coated it, the outline of the Ghost’s cock became visible at least until Yukata let out a moan and her snatch began to spread as his dick slipped inside.

Yukata let out a soft cry as she was impaled on her lover’s cock. Her arms reached behind her gripping the back of his head as he held her steady while pistoning his manhood within her. The stunned women could practically see deep within the dark-haired woman due to the transparency jutsu. They could see the way her inner muscles coiled around the Ghost’s manhood as her pussy tried to keep it buried deep inside her.

Quistis felt a tingle between her legs as her pussy let it know how badly it wished to be in the woman’s position. A feeling that doubled as Yukata gave the women a look which communicated just how much pleasure she was feeling, before she then looked over her shoulder and stuck out her tongue. It then began to dance around as the kissing sounds that followed let those present know the Ghost was making out with her. The instructor raised a hand to her lips as she wondered what it would feel like to be kissing the man.

But then she pulled back as she realized she was getting carried away. Trying to compose herself she realized that although the Ghost had occasional granted unique requests of the women that had visited him. He had tended to draw the line at kissing and even the women reciprocating, she suspected that due to what Yukata had revealed it was so the women didn’t grow too attached to him. Thinking analytically was helping Quistis stem the lust that she was feeling so she began to wonder what had changed. She looked at the other women present that were transfixed on the woman being fucked before them. She could see that they were falling deeper and deeper into the lusts she knew they felt when discussing the Ghost, and were beginning to openly tease themselves. Selphie’s hands were tracing over her breasts lightly at first, but soon became more pronounced as she slipped further and further into the pleasure her touches created. Rikku by comparison had her hand buried between her legs as she tried not to call attention to what she was doing. Kashike wasn’t hiding how she was dealing with it as she had pulled her A-shirt to the side exposing her right breast, which she fondled and teased, while her other hand was buried down the front of her pants. She rocked her hips as she rubbed her pussy violent moaning loudly as she imagined the Ghost doing the same to her. Sen had left her seat completely as she crawled on all fours to the seemingly levitating kunoichi. Her red dress rode up her hips as she did so revealing that she wasn’t wearing panties either. The fishnet body stocking she wore beneath it did little to curtail the juices leaking from her and running down the sides of her thighs as she moved. She stopped several feet from where Yukata was moaning deliriously as the Ghost began moving her in time with his thrusts making it so that Quistis was sure the blonde woman could practically see the entrance of the puppeteer’s womb. Sen apparently liked what she saw as she brought a hand between her legs and began fingering her hole for the other women’s viewing pleasure. Sen’s behavior gave Rikku the courage to stop hiding as she slipped out of her green shorts and panties to begin rubbing her snatch openly as well.

Quistis felt a desire to let go and join in, but felt doing so would be admitting that she had forgotten the original reason she had started the group, which was to monitor the women in case they were being influenced. With definitive evidence of it, she knew that it was time to inform the Kazekage of what was going on, so although tearing her spectacled gaze away from the woman whose face screamed sexual contentment being one of the hardest things she had done she moved for the gymnasium exit. However, moving proved rather difficult at first as her pussy with each stepped reminded her of the pleasure it was ready to receive. But she managed to not look back and move for the exit which seemed to be almost miles away. She cursed upon finding the door wouldn’t budge like it was being compelled to remain shut by a poltergeist. She looked back as she heard Yukata let out a high pitched scream and despite how the exit had looked so far away found the opposite was true when looking in the other direction as she could see the dark-haired woman’s insides turning white as the Ghost came inside her. She let out a soft whimper as her pussy quivered as it wanted to drink the same white cream Yukata’s spasming cunt was.

But before a decision could be made to try to force open the door somehow or return to the circle of women around Yukata a hand clamped down on her shoulder. Before she could scream, she was teleported away although the other women in the room didn’t notice.

****

Yukata sighed as her womb was filled with her lover’s cum, while her orgasm caused her to shiver in bliss before the gathered women. She was gently set down on the ground but kept a hand around Naruto to remain upright. She smiled as the combination of her release and his cum made it apparent where his cock was. She could see the other women eyeing it hungrily, but noticed that Quistis was no longer in the room. Figuring that meant the clone Naruto had created in case she didn’t succumb to her desires had teleported her to the location of the original summoning circle she focused on the remaining women to explain, “As you can see, when I summoned him to me our relationship deepened. It was no longer just about receiving pleasure. I suspect that you might all want the same thing. But you should know doing so comes with certain conditions. You’ll be bound to him for what could be an extremely long time. He’ll…”

Sen stood up making Yukata stop as she feared the woman might want to leave. But instead she approached and guessing where the Ghost’s face was gripped his head tenderly before pulling her lips to his. She separated after a moment stating, “I’ve wanted to do that since you bought me that cactus, Naruto.”

Yukata’s face gave away her surprise at Sen seemingly knowing Ghost’s identity. Naruto began to shimmer into existence as he ended the jutsu revealing he was naked. Sen smiled at him and answering the question she was sure both Yukata and Naruto were wondering about, “I wish I could say it was the cactus that appeared in my tent that the Ghost had left for me after our last time together, since I had confessed to the “Ghost” about thinking about giving up being a kunoichi because I kept failing the exams. Or, how it was from you starting to find reasons to appear around me as yourself while I trained to keep me motivated for the next exam.” Sen sighed as she said, “I really should have seen that connection, but really it was when you appeared to save the Kazekage. The walls of the privacy barrier the circle cast always turned purple when you appeared. Since they are blue and that teleportation jutsu was red.” Sen pouted though as she said, “But, you weren’t really interested in me were you. You were targeting some other woman. Did you get her?”

“Yes,” Naruto admitted, “Although it wasn’t in the way I had originally planned. Just as I hadn’t planned that there would still be women craving my touch.”

Sen looked down and watched as she traced a finger along Naruto’s sweat soaked chest while she asked, “But now that you do know?”

Naruto smiled as he tilted her head up to face him. Her brown eyes locked with his blue ones as he said, “That depends on you. I will happily accept you as my lover, but once I do. I’m not known for letting go. As Yukata was explaining…”

Sen cut Naruto off as she planted her lips against his again. The kiss between them grew heated and Sen pulled away with hooded eyes. She then knelt before Naruto and taking his cock in hand looked up as she said, “Now let me thank you for all the pleasure that you gave me.”

Naruto groaned as she gave the head of his dick a quick lick like tasting a new flavor of ice cream. Finding the combined essence of Yukata and him pleasing to the pallet she gave his tip a kiss and then let him slip into her mouth. Naruto groaned as Sen began to slide her mouth over his pole and he stared up at the ceiling for a moment. He felt another naked body press into his side causing him to look over into Kashike’s dark pupils. She pulled him into a kiss as well which as it ended said, “I should have saved myself for you.”

Naruto was surprised a little by the admission since while she had mentioned how things hadn’t worked out between her and the boy she had desired as she talked during the meeting, it hadn’t really clicked that he might be the reason why. He felt a pang of guilt at the thought which Kashike seemed to be able to read from his eyes so she quickly said, “It was only partially because he couldn’t satisfy me as a woman. The truth is he didn’t want to support me as one outside of passing his genes along. I plan to become the Head of Suna’s ANBU division.” Naruto smiled as she added, “You supported Sen to continue along the path of the shinobi. I know I can count on you to support me, and in return I’ll support you.”

“Deal,” Naruto said as his hand slipped around her waist to pull her tighter to him. He then sealed his lips to hers once more. He was forced to break away as he groaned upon feeling tongues begin circling around each of his nipples. Finding that both Selphie and Rikku had divested themselves of their clothes, although Selphie had kept her boots on, and were now tonging his chest said, “Can I count on your support as well ladies.”

Selphie simply nodded her head before sucking on his nipple causing him to groan as Rikku said, “Only if you give our pussies a good pounding.”

Naruto groaned as Sen began loudly slurping on his cock as it to remind everyone who was currently in control of it. The blond shinobi groaned as he said, “That can definitely be arranged, but since Sen stated her desire first she goes first.”

“No fair,” Rikku pointed, “I went before her in the meeting, and wasn’t that why we were attending.”

Naruto chuckled before pulling her into a kiss that stole her breath away. She stepped back after a moment to breathe again as he said, “You raise an interesting point.” He created a four shadow clones which all sat down in the chairs the women had been occupying before. “Let’s make it a contest then. Sen still gets to go first, but whoever can make my clones cum first will get to go next.”

Kashike smiled as she said, “A test of skill. I accept.”

She was about to mount her clone as Yukata had sat on the dick of the one she selected to watch the show, but she stopped as Rikku said, “No fair. I don’t want to lose my virginity to a clone to win.”

“Very well,” Kashike said amused before hefting her breasts as she knelt between her Naruto’s outstretched legs. Wrapping them around its pole she said, “Still, I think you will find it doesn’t change much since my assets surpass yours.”

Rikku frowned as Kashike’s clone began to moan as the ANBU began working her breasts over its shaft. Not willing to be left behind she reached for her clone’s cock and began quickly stroking it. Naruto smiled since although she was pulling his pud quickly, she wasn’t using much technique. He imagined it was rather rough on the clone as well as it placed its hand over hers whispering something in her ear. Although not sure exactly what it was, he suspected it was along the lines of how sometimes simply going fast didn’t deliver the best results. Rikku seemed to get the hint as she began to slow down and then leaned up to begin kissing the clone’s ear. From the way its eyes widened he could imagine she was also using some dirty talk to help things along. His gaze drifted to Selphie who was also using her breasts over her clone’s dick occasionally stopping to drool over it to help it glide through her cleavage.

Sen demand his attention as she began to cradle his balls and feeling near the end of his rope he pulled free of her lips. She looked up in surprise, but Naruto knelt before her and cupping her chin said, “Since our last encounter I’ve wanted to drink of your essence again as well. If I had known you and the others still desired me to such an extent I would have reappeared in your life much sooner.”

Sen smiled as she sat back and raised her legs straight up in the air. Naruto returned the grin as he pulled her fishnet stocking free of her body before gripping one of her feet. He then kissed her ankle before moving up her leg until he was between her thighs. The kunoichi tensed in anticipation as she recalled the last time they had been together and had asked Naruto as the Ghost to eat her pussy. It had been an experience even better than she had thought it would be which had left her only desiring to go further with him. His tongue ran along her slit causing her to gasp, and then moan as he spread her and began licking her more aggressively.

Naruto devoured her snatch and found her juices quenched a thirst he hadn’t even known he had. Mainly as it was easy to lose sight of how Sen was a woman he knew he might be targeting someday. That was why when she had asked him to go down on her; he had agreed despite it technically being against the rules he had set for his Ghost persona. Then again he had also broken them for Kashike as well. That didn’t mean he thought his time with them as the Ghost would be what brought them to him, since he had truly been surprised to learn there were more like Yukata. But, his tasting Sen had caused a need in him that might not have been as overpowering due to the many women constantly keeping his lusts from building, but now that he was drinking of her again knew he was just as addicted to her as she had been to him.

Her flavor gushed into his mouth as with a cry she came when he had given her clit a good rub while sticking his tongue inside her as far as he could. Naruto gulped her juices down thirstily and then licked up what remained as Sen’s breathing returned to normal. He then began kissing up her body before pulling her into a kiss. The two of them made out for several moments before Sen pulled away to say, “Let me feel you inside me.”

Naruto leaned back to line his dick up with her entrance. He then pushed inside and although he didn’t encounter a barrier from the way she tensed he knew that he had been her first lover. He slid his dick inside slowly giving her time to adjust as he slowly spread her out until his cock was poking her womb. She gasped as she felt it and stated, “You’re so big. I’m so filled with you.”

Naruto smiled gently as he cupped her cheek as he asked, “Are you ready?”

Sen nodded closing her brown eyes as he began to withdraw slowly and she let out a soft moan. When he was just about completely free of her grip he slid forward again causing her moan to grow louder. Naruto repeated the process over and over again as his speed increased along with the volume of her moans. Sen’s legs rose up to wrap around Naruto’s back as he began to really drive his cock inside her. Her cries caused the other women waiting their turn to look back enviously before redoubling their efforts to get their clone to cum first.

Naruto pulled Sen up so that she sat in his lap as he pulled the front of her red battle dress down and then bunched up the fishnet shirt she wore beneath to attach her breasts. She moaned as his tongue circled around her nub, before he then sucked it like a newborn. She moaned before sealing her lips to his neck began to leave a lovemark there. She pulled away enjoying the angry looking red it turned but frowned as it quickly faded. She suspected that was how he wasn’t covered in them since she figured that Yukata was just the tip of the iceberg when it came to women Naruto had charmed. Guessing it pointless to try and mark him, she began nibbling on his ear, but had to switch to the other one as Naruto began paying attention to her other breast.

The grip her legs had around him began to tighten as she felt something which had been building since he entered her reach a point where it was going to give way. Naruto must have sensed it as well as he began raising and lowering her over his cock in a much fiercer way by raising her up, letting her hover for a moment and then slamming her down. It only took several times before she let loose a shriek as she came. A moment later her cries became lower but sounded much more content as her womb was pumped full of Naruto’s seed.

She held Naruto tight against her as her climax began to subside and heard Rikku shout, “Booyaka!”

Sen turned back and smiled as Rikku’s clone fired stream after stream of cum. Holding her seed coated hand up she said, “I won.” The woman smiled at her fellow blonde as the clone burst into smoke and stood letting out a little moan of loss as Naruto slipped free of her. Approaching Rikku, she took the woman’s hand and began to lick it clean of his seed having wanted to taste it earlier. She moaned as she sucked the warm treat down and then said, “Then go claim your prize.”

Rikku was a little surprised by Sen’s actions but just nodded as she was eager to give her virginity to the person that had made her feel so relaxed when in his arms. Quickly running over to Naruto, she knelt before him and was blushed as he said, “I have to say, hearing you describe what being inside your tight virgin Al Bhed pussy is probably what gave you the edge.”

“How?”

“My clones pass along their memories when they dispel.” He reached up and cupped the naked girl’s face as he asked, “Are you sure I’m the one that you want to share such a gift with?”

Rikku nodded as she replied, “I’ve been saving myself for you. I planned to hunt you down and make you take responsibility for how you made me feel.”

Naruto reached between her legs as he began to rub along her slit. Rikku moaned as he asked, “Really, how did you plan to go about that?”

The Al Bhed gripped the shoulder of the arm Naruto was using to tease her as she answered, “I…I was designing a… a device that would…mmm…let me track down the… chakra signature that was recorded from the barrier created by the summoning circle.”

Naruto was surprised such a thing was possible, and as he slipped a finger inside the kunoichi asked, “When did you record it?”

Rikku moaned loudly as Naruto worked his finger quickly causing squelching sounds to fill the room as her pussy grew wetter and wetter before answering, “B…before….before I first visited you… I observed a few women visiting you. My goggles let me record the chakra signature of the barrier. Please… no more questions.”

Naruto pulled Rikku into a kiss as he pulled his finger out of the blonde woman. He laid her down on her back as their tongues continued to dance. He was crouched over her when he pulled back to ask, “Are you ready?”

Rikku looked nervous but nodded her head causing Naruto to smile in order to put her at ease. He lowered his lips to hers. They kissed tenderly as he pushed his dick against her pussy and slipped inside. He pushed in slowly and paused as he felt her hymen barring his progress. He pulled his lips from hers as he said, “This next part is going to hurt. But if you can bear through the pain I promise it will feel good really soon.”

Rikku nodded and tensed as Naruto’s dick backed away from her barrier before he rammed straight through it. He didn’t stop as he quickly withdrew to push forward again. Rikku cried out, “It hurts,” when she had been deflowered, and she tried to pull away as Naruto continued to move inside her. But after only a few strokes the hands she hand pressed against his shoulders to push him away lost their strength. They soon snaked down under his arms and along his back so she could grab his butt and began pulling him towards her eagerly. “Yes…you’re right… E vaam cu volgehk kuut.”

Naruto smiled as the Al Bhed slipped into her native tongue as she had been wont to do when he had she was feeling especially good as she visited him. Naruto remembered having been surprised the first time he had heard it since as far as he knew everyone else that lived on the continent spoke the same language. It had made him curious enough that he wanted to know what the woman was saying when she slipped into her native language, since he wanted to be sure he was pleasing her, so had used his shadow clones to quickly learn the Al Bhed language. He hadn’t mastered it though before the Training Force was called back, but he demonstrated his knowledge now as he stared into her green spiral eyes to say, “E’s Kmyt.”

Rikku’s eyes shot open upon hearing Naruto tell her that he was glad for as she had put it, “was feeling so fucking good,” in her native tongue. She wondered when he had learned it, but then she felt tears begin to gather at the corner of her eyes as it was a gesture that truly melted her heart. While she had made friends in Suna, most of them had obviously expected her to adapt to their culture. Hearing that Naruto had studied hers enough to even learn a single phrase showed her just what type of person he truly was. Something he had demonstrated in the circle as well as he dedicated so much time and energy to making her feel good.

Naruto brushed her tears away as he showed he possessed more than just a cursory knowledge of the Al Bhed tongue, “E ruba draca yna daync uv rybbehacc”

Rikku nodded as she whispered, “They are. I don’t think I’ve ever been happier.”

Naruto smiled as he leaned back to rest on his calves. He then gripped her hips and lifted them off the ground. He then began pumping straight ahead and slightly up ward into her raised hips causing his cock to run across her G-spot. She cried out as she rested her feet on the ground to help raise her hips up for him and began swirling them about so that his dick different portions of her extremely sensitive bundle of nerves.

She fondled her breasts as felt him growing larger inside of her. She wasn’t sure what it meant until he buried his cock inside her as far as he could. Then she felt a wet warmth begin spreading out inside her. Her eyes grew big as it triggered her a powerful release as she screamed, “E’s Lissegk!!!!” Shortly after her world turned to white it went dark as Rikku passed out from the pleasure overload.

Naruto pulled free of her, smiling down gently as even unconscious she let out a soft whimper of loss. His three remaining clones were lasting longer then him although he suspected that the one Yukata was doing so well because she seemed content just to have his clone’s dick inside her as she enjoyed his claiming the women he had charmed under his Ghost persona. Kashike desperate to be next began to suck on the tip of her clone’s cock causing it to grip the back of her head by her pony tail as it finally gave up and declared her the second place winner by cumming in her mouth. The Suna ANBU member drank down the clone’s offering eagerly before pulling back as it turned into smoke.

The woman smiled at Naruto as the smoke cleared. She approached him but then turned away as she said, “I always wanted to be fucked from behind like an Inuzuka bitch by a real man. I willing to bet you’re just the man to do it too.”

Naruto saddled up behind her and with a slight pout said, “No foreplay first.”

Kashike smiled at him over her shoulder as she replied, “Between the time in the circle and titfucking a clone. I think we’re well past the need for foreplay.”

Naruto chucked and then caused the woman to howl out as he slammed his cock in forcefully. Crouched down on his haunches. he leaned forward to grip her hanging breasts as he pumped wildly inside her. Kashike didn’t hold back as she threw her backwards to meet his pumping hips. “Mmm, I knew I shouldn’t have let my first time be with Tsuchino. I should have put that childish desire away with my other toys. I knew being with you would be so much better.”

The blond man felt his ego getting stroked by her words, but replied, “But you wouldn’t have known that otherwise. We should be glad things worked out the way they did, because now you can give me your everything whole heartedly. Your fantastic body now can be given to me completely without wondering what if.”

Kashike’s arms failed her as one of the hands fondling her breasts moved to just above her pussy and began to rub her clit. Her legs soon followed so that Naruto slipped to his knees as he followed her hips down. She lay flat on the ground as Naruto now continued to drive his cock deep inside her. “Oh yes…” Kashike moaned as Naruto’s dick drove her wild and banished the disappointment she had felt after losing her virginity to her childhood sweetheart.

“That also means you can entrust me with your hopes and dreams, which I’ll always encourage you to pursue,” Naruto said leaning down to press his chest against her back. His thrusts became more measured and slower but they drove Kashike even wilder as she was forced to make due since she couldn’t really move her hips due to his weight.

Kashike felt her heart beat a little faster hearing she had found a partner that wanted her to pursue her dreams. But, her pussy also had its needs which caused her to say, “Save the sweet talk for later. I need to cum. I want to cum finally from having a cock inside me, not from bringing myself to orgasm after I should be satisfied.”

Kashike was spun so that she was on top and climbing to her knees was facing away from Naruto as he said, “Then by all means pursue your goal.”

Kashike smirked as she began to ride the dick that put the first one she had experienced to shame. She rested her hands on his knees as she began to raise her hips up to give him a clear view of the way her pussy gripped his magnificent rod. Naruto rested a hand on her backside as he began to pump in time with her downward movements. Kashike closed her eyes and began to fondle one of her breasts as she felt something building inside her. She feared that like her previous experiences that Naruto would peter out just as her body began to promise her a delicious release. But she didn’t need fear as the feeling kept building and building as if it was doubling each time Naruto’s cock touched her womb. Naruto seemed to grow larger inside her although she suspected it had more to do with her pussy tightening around him. But then her eyes grew wider as he did seem to grow, just before he gripped her hips firmly and pulled her back towards him as he slammed his hips forward.

Kashike roared as she climaxed and then felt a secondary release as he unleashed his seed deep inside her. Kashike fell forward as she trembled from the force of the pleasure coursing through her body. She whimpered as Naruto slipped from beneath her and she lay limp in her bent over fashion with his cum beginning to drip onto the floor. He smiled content to see that she seemed dead to the world and hoped it was what she hoped for such an experience to be.

His gaze traveled to Selphie who had finished off his clone while he was pleasuring Kashike. Her chest glistened as his clone had coated it in his release which she had wiped off as she waited. Naruto stood to approach the nude brown haired beauty to also claim her as his.

Selphie felt more than a little self-conscious as she stood there naked while awaiting her turn with the blond man. But, she admitted a good deal of it had faded as a result of hearing him with Rikku and Kashike. Hearing Naruto use the Al Bhed’s language had made her realize that he accepted each of his lovers as they were, and hearing him with Kashike caused her to understand sometimes that meant exploring what life had to offer so a person could be sure of the path they were on. Selphie would admit she had been partly afraid that her not being a virgin might diminish how much worth the Ghost would place on any future encounters with her, especially if it led to sex. Much like Kashike, she had regretted giving it up shortly after returning to Suna. But having been left with feelings that she had needed to explore further after the Training Force had been disbanded she had found a cute fellow Chunin to have a one night stand with. He had been far more experienced than her, and she would have even classified the experience as pretty good. But, she would admit that it had been rather lacking at least in the feelings department. She suspected the reason why was that obviously to avoid an emotional entanglement she hadn’t sought out someone she might be tempted to start a relationship with. She had also made it clear she wasn’t looking for one, something her partner had been quite pleased with.

However, she had feared she had traded away something precious when her partner upon finding out that she was a virgin had acted almost like he had hit the jackpot. It had made her fear that the Ghost upon learning she wasn’t one, if they ever met up again, might be equally disappointed. His telling Kashike that it was fine that she was no longer a virgin had enlightened her as to why even though her partner had succeeded in pleasing her physically had failed to measure up with the Ghost.

She smiled as she corrected herself to refer to him as Naruto, especially as he wrapped her in his arms to pull her into a deep kiss. Selphie’s toes curled up in her boots as she knew that what separated him from her deflower was for Naruto it was solely about pleasing his partner which if he succeeded generally meant he would be feeling good as well. Whereas her deflower derived enjoyment from the act, and the idea that he was the first to enjoy her body had somehow made it more meaningful for him.

Selphie was already panting as Naruto pulled his lips from hers to ask, “Are you ready?”

To answer she hooked her right leg around his hip and then reached behind her to help guide him inside her warmth as he pushed forward. She moaned as he slipped inside and found that he was just about as large as her first partner had been. She wasn’t too surprised by that since she had done her research before approaching her deflower, and figured a portion of his success with women was the equipment he was packing. But she could also tell that Naruto’s success was also due to the technique he had developed as he slowly began moving inside her.

He pulled a deep moan out of her as she began to grind her mound against him while he hefted one of her breasts up to begin sucking on her nipple. Selphie hissed as he nipped it with his teeth before soothing it by rolling his tongue around her hardened nub. He let her breast go as his lips returned to hers and their tongues began to dance in circles while his hands circle around behind her to grab the cheeks of her ass.

Selphie encircled her arms around Naruto’s neck to pull him deeper into their kiss and for support as he lifted her off the ground. She cried out in loss as she slipped off his cock as he adjusted his grip so that her thighs rested on his forearms. Her feeling of loss only lasted a minute as she was then slammed back on his cock causing her to cry out in pleasure. Naruto then rapidly bouncing her on his dick causing Selphie’s arms around him to loosen until just her hands were gripping the back of his neck. They gave way forcing Naruto to quickly adjust his grip so that he could cradle her neck as his other had moved behind the small of her back.

Selphie moaned, “More… don’t stop,” even as she began moving her hips in a circle. Naruto groaned as he tried not to drop the squirming woman so gently set her down so that her shoulders rested on the ground. Then while remaining standing he thrust downwards like a jackhammer driving the woman wild. Selphie’s juices began leaking down her body as they escaped from her like Naruto was drilling for oil which seemed to be the case as with a final downward thrust she squirted her release. A geyser of her love juices shot upwards to rain down on the spectators as he leaned back to pump her cunt full of his seed. Selphie came a second time as his warmth filled her although it wasn’t with the same explosive results. She felt that warmth spread through her body as Naruto gently set her hips down.

Rikku having recovered from her finish sat up in time to see Selphie explosive end. Expecting to see one last lady clamoring to be next, helped her realize that Quistis was missing. “Where’s Quistis?”

Naruto was kneeling next to Selphie as he smile at her content and blank stare stood as he said, “I need to go speak with her. I’ll be back soon, I promise.” He then teleported away in a red flash, which caused Selphie’s consciousness to return back to the waking world. His sudden disappearance also alerted the three just sated women to the fact that Yukata was still grinding her hips on her clone. Then like pleasured starved zombies they began crawling towards the woman and began kissing, sucking, and licking along her body to help her get off so she would get off of the dick they all wanted to have buried inside them once more.

****

Quistis had found herself in an area that was familiar although she had never visited before. She knew it so well because she had heard it described by each of the women that had told their stories in the Suna Paranormal Support Group and whose membership had reached as high as eleven before dwindling down to its current roster. She suspected that the Ghost had used a clone to teleport her to the area as he stayed behind to claim the women that still desired him as his. She didn’t doubt that meant that the group she had started had just made it easy for him to claim four more women of Suna as his. She didn’t know whether to feel disappoint to have missed out, or glad since she imagined if she had stayed she might have made it five. Her gaze drifted to where the summoning circle was and wondered if he would show if she stepped inside felt the temptation to do so.

She scanned the area, and wasn’t surprised she couldn’t see the clone that she suspected was still nearby to make sure she didn’t make a break for it. She considered doing so anyway to try and lure it in so she could use one of the abilities of her Blue Mage Kekkei Genkai. It was a name that she had given her bloodline ability after playing an eight bit fantasy video game where a mage after being hit by an enemy creature’s attack then gained the ability to use it. Her bloodline couldn’t let her recreate other Kekkei Genkai, but it did let her recreate jutsu of various elements after experiencing them firsthand. In order to test for the ability as a child Quistis had been exposed to a jutsu that each member of her family that had the Kekkei Genkai learned upon exposure. It caused the member to breathe out a noxious gas that made the target suffer various ailments that varied. While if she used it one time the target might simply pass out, on another it would cause them to expire from a deadly poison. Since the results always varied just the test could be extremely dangerous, but so to was being a shinobi. When children of her generation were exposed she was determined to be the only current carrier of the ability. Sadly, she learned this only after nearly being poisoned and dying. Which had still made her one of the more fortunate to be exposed.

She had then been enrolled in the academy which she had excelled in, but before graduating the other members of her family with the ability had been killed on a mission. It hadn’t been an extremely hard one at least until one of the members had tried to learn a jutsu using the Blue Mage ability. It had worked, but left him severely injured and as the other members tried to escort him back to the village they had been ambushed and killed by Kirigakure-nin looking to liberate them of their prize. Since Quistis’s immediate family had been killed years earlier and she was now the only one still possessing her bloodline’s talents. The Fourth Kazekage had insisted that she not try to develop her abilities any further. She hadn’t been bothered by the request believing her natural talent would see her through, but after several missions as a genin she learned that proceeding up the ranks wasn’t what was in store for her. Instead as she was going to take her first Chunin Exams she had been pulled aside and told the special rank of Instructor was being created for her. Her team leader had tried to sell it as being a result of her proficiency at helping others to learn and her learned nature. But she quickly realized it was simply to prevent her from dying and her Kekkei Genkai from dying out. She was sure that in several years she’d be forced to retire by the Kazekage and marry in order to pass her blood on. She wondered if the Fourth would then make her use the Bad Breath jutsu on her own children to see if it had worked or if he would wait a few generations. Luckily, the Fourth died and Gaara for the most part seemed to have no interest in her ability. She had considered requesting a change in assignment, but her genuine enjoyment of teaching, and the slight fear that Gaara’s lack of interest was born of a lack of knowledge in her abilities kept her from proceeding.

Her reflecting on the past came to an end as a red flash appeared on the circle before the privacy barrier sprang into existence. She bit her lip, but decided to accept the invitation so stood from the rock she had been sitting on to step inside. She felt a small thrill as the world took on the other worldly appearance that she had heard described so many times. She tapped down on the desire to experience the same pleasure that the women that had been in the circle before her had to ask, “Who are you?”

“Are you sure you want to know?” The Ghost replied in a disguised voice.

“Why wouldn’t I,” she responded sharply. “I figure you’re done taking your pleasure from the others. Do you think I’m the same as them?”

The Ghost chuckled before replying, “Yukata seems to think so. She believes you are worse off in fact because all you have are stories to base what you heard off of. That’s why I teleported you hear. I wanted to give you a chance to see if those stories matched the reality. If I reveal who I am some of the magic might disappear.”

For a moment she felt a sense of gratitude that the Ghost was thinking of her, but she quickly reined it in since it involved him feeling her up. Still she couldn’t deny her body wanted to know if the stories she had read will often fingering herself to orgasm were true. So very tempted, but still worried he was a threat to her village she asked, “Yukata said she and the others were just a byproduct created from your desire for a specific woman. Who was she?”

“Pakura,” the Ghost answered after a moment’s hesitation. She didn’t think the hesitation was born of a desire to lie, but that he thought answering would cause him to reveal his identity. It did cause her to lean more heavily towards one possible suspect of who the Ghost was, but she found that who she believed the Ghost might be, only heightened her desires. Particularly due to the change that the whole village of Suna had noticed in Pakura after her time with the Training Force, as she had gone from a woman that hated her station in life to a member of Suna Council.

Quistis began to wonder if the Ghost was the catalyst for that change and if so, then she doubted he was a threat. Plus she thought of the other women of the group that she had started and how kunoichi like Sen attributed her success to confidence that she had gained from being with the Ghost. Such thoughts caused the woman in her to wonder if she would experience a similar metamorphosis.

She bit her lip as the dutiful kunoichi in her still felt the Kazekage should be made aware of the Ghost’s activities, while the woman inside her wanted to know what the others had felt from being with him. The woman began to win the argument as it reminded the kunoichi that her duty would in time lead her to being little more than breeding stock for her bloodline abilities. Something which the other women that had been with the Ghost all seem assured that he would be opposed towards. It led to the kunoichi questioning her dedication to duty just long enough so that Quistis could simply utter, “Please…”

The Ghost didn’t respond, but a few moments later she felt the back of his hand press into her but. She smiled and felt the part of her that wanted to reject the pleasure the Ghost had promised fade away as he started the encounter in the same manner as all the others. She knew the subtle pressing against her rear was the Ghost asking for her permission to continue. She remained silent so the pressing became more insistent until she felt his hand turn to cup the cheek of her butt. He rubbed her behind as she felt his arm slide around her stomach slipped into the small opening of the salmon colored vest that she wore. She shivered as she felt his warm hands wash over her skin. He began to rub her stomach in small circles causing his warmth to spread over the area.

She relaxed back into him and moaned as he began chewing on her earlobe. The hand rubbing her rear disappeared and she wondered where it would appear next, but then the clasp of the brown belt she wore came undone and fell away. Her skirt came unzipped and soon was just a pile on the ground around her feet. She lolled her head back as she felt the hand rubbing her stomach slide up under her vest to caress her breast and moaned as he squeezed it. The zipper of her vest then began to slowly get pulled down as the Ghost worked his magic on her. When it came undone her vest was opened to expose her breasts as the hand that had been caressing her began to tweak her nipple. She hissed and pressed her but against him and trapped his cock between them.

She felt a thrill pass through her as the Ghost groaned from her rubbing against his manhood. She felt that thrill intensify as he undid the snaps of the pants she wore under her skirt. He then slipped his hand inside her underwear where he began to caress her pussy directly. His actions caused her to press her ass even firmer against the dick poking her and began grinding down into him. She looked over her shoulder and said, “D…don’t just end this like you did the others. I…I want to feel you inside me.” She then tested her theory as to his identity as she added, “Please…Naruto.”

The Ghost chuckled and then began to shimmer into existence. She marveled at the blue eyes that stared into hers as he said, “If we do, then you and I will become bound together forever. Are you sure that is what you want?”

The Suna Instructor felt some of her reservations return, but only for a moment as his fingers slipped inside her. Suspecting he had revealed as much too all the other women she was sure he was with and who still gladly did so she said, “Yes! Just please fuck me now!”

Naruto pushed Quistis jeans as far down her hips as he could, but didn’t remove them due to the boots that she wore. He then pulled away from her just long enough to thrust inside. Her tore through her barrier causing her to cry out and to go still in his arms. It was a stillness he matched, until she began to move her hips in small exploratory circles. When he was confident she was ready he began to withdraw before slamming back in. He started slowly at first but soon was thrusting his hips into her at full throttle. An action she matched as best she could due to her bunched up jeans restricting her movements. Quistis looked back over her shoulder her blue eyes clouded over with lust so Naruto pulled her back against his chest and into a soul searing kiss. It stopped his movements so she began swishing her hips around to keep her pussy happy as her tongue danced with his. Just as her small rocking wasn’t enough to keep her satisfied, Naruto pushed her forward again. He held her upright with one hand on her shoulder and the other on her hip as he leaned back to begin pumping his length within her again.

She moaned feverishly as her knees began to press together as she felt something threatening to overwhelm her approaching. After several thrusts, she felt the wave of pleasure crash over her like a tsunami as she screamed her release. Naruto pulled her tight against him causing her voice to reach a new octave as her orgasm grew even stronger due to the injection of his seed that she received. Her pussy quivered around his cock as it coaxed every bit of his cum from his balls that it could. Her womb was soon filled to capacity causing his seed to find the only escape path it could, and began to leak from around his shaft and dropped into her underwear. Quistis’s world darkened for a moment, but she was pulled back against Naruto’s chest who kissed her hungrily and her desire to return it kept her awake.

When their lips separated he said, “Let’s get back to the others so we can share your story with them.”

The blonde instructor smiled and reached down to cradle his balls as she replied, “Can we make a few more first?”

Naruto laughed and kissed her softly as he answered, “As you wish,” before beginning to churn her insides once more.

Shikamaru cursed as he rolled to the side moments before a heavy sword smashed down where he had been kneeling. The breaking of his stance caused his jutsu to end so that Akamaru which had intercepted it was free to move. Before Kiba could capitalize the Nara produced a chakra blade which he charged with his chakra before tossing it into Kiba’s shadow. He saw the canine moving to pull it free, but before he could trap the canine again he was forced to leap back as Hinata spun away from Ino to fire a vacuum palm at him.

Ino tried to make Hinata pay for the moment’s inattention by spinning her leg up in the air. She then caught the Hyuuga by the throat with her knee and then tried to bend Hinata backwards. Hinata though simply bent backwards just ahead of the leg and then flipped out of the attempted choke hold. She stabbed her fingers into Ino’s thigh causing the Yamanaka to disengage by leaping away. She landed unsteadily due to her chakra being partially cut off, but still managed to defend herself as the Hyuuga refused to let her breakoff.

Shikamaru frowned at the aggressiveness Hinata was displaying, but had to admit it wasn’t exactly a new development. His gaze settled on Chouji who was managing to keep Shino at bay thanks to his partial expansion jutsu not letting the insects drain his chakra effectively due to the increased mass. He sighed as his calculations told him that unless he came up with a new strategy his team was going to lose the sparring match.

He mentally sighed at having to apply himself since for years his team had been more than a match for Team Kurenai. It hadn’t always been the case, especially in the beginning since Asuma would often have his team spar with his future wife’s. In the first few clashes Shino had been the greatest threat of Kurenai’s three genin. Hinata had been too unsure of herself to properly pressure the opponents she faced with her need to be in close to shut them down, and Kiba while fierce could be goaded into making sloppy mistakes. Shino on the other hand was confident in his abilities and almost as calculating as Shikamaru liked to believe he was. Still even with his skill Shikamaru hadn’t been able to come up with a strategy to neutralize Shino because Chouji much like Hinata lacked confidence, and Ino lacked dedication to her training to be counted on to back either of them up.

The balance had shifted in Team Asuma’s favor after the mission to stop Sasuke’s defection. Thanks to the confidence he had gained, Chouji had become the cornerstone that Shikamaru had need to keep Shino at bay. He had then used Ino as a distraction or pawn to quickly trap the other two in his shadows. If Ino managed to not to get eliminated the spar usually ended in their victory as Chouji could create an opening that allowed the Yamanaka to knock Shino out using her family’s jutsu.

However, in recent years the balance had begun to tilt once more in Team Kurenai’s favor and Shikamaru hated to admit it but on average the times they lost it was because he and Chouji were holding Ino back. The Yamanaka showed this in the current spar by leaping backwards and catching Hinata just under her chin with a kick. The blonde kunoichi then landed in a crouch and formed a rectangle handsign that she aimed at the Hyuuga. Hinata recovered from the kick, but rather than charge her crouched opponent she darted off towards Shino. The Aburame sensed the threat too late as Hinata peppered him with strikes which caused him to collapse as his chakra was cut off.

Kiba seeing that and having kept his distance so as not to be caught in his shadow again rather than react as he used to which would be to charge in some suicidal attempt at victory said, “Alright we give.” He placed the large blade he had started carrying around on his back and knelt down to pet his canine partner who was whining at their loss. “Don’t worry boy. We’ll get them next time.”

Shikamaru noticed that Hinata seemed to shake herself as Ino ended her jutsu. The Hyuuga quickly raced back to Shino so she could reopen the chakra points she had closed and began apologizing. Kurenai despite her team’s loss appeared from the tree line and congratulate both teams. “Good job everyone. I’m glad to see you still are working together to train despite…” She trailed off as a look of sadness appeared for a moment. But she recovered quickly to say, “Let me treat everyone to a meal.”

“That sounds great,” Ino said almost as eagerly as Chouji who she high-fived which considering the Ino of old would have mentioned how she was on a diet was just one of the many changes.

Kiba though surprised Shikamaru since he would have been just as eager in the past to instead state, “I can’t. I have some special training to attend. I’ll catch up afterwards.”

Shikamaru despite being pretty hungry himself stated as well, “I can’t. I have to make sure my mom has everything ready for today’s damn council meeting. Tsunade says if she doesn’t shape up, she’s going to ask the Nara elders to select a new Clan Head. If that happens it’s probably going to be my ass they choose. I’m busy enough with organizing the upcoming Chunin Exams now that the Raikage wants to add a fourth test.”

Ino smiled at him stating, “Well it’s your own fault that the exams haven’t been held yet since you resisted having a fourth test added for so long.”

“That’s because adding them was going to be a drag,” Shikamaru replied annoyed. “You have no idea how much work goes into these test. You have to make sure each village is happy with the criteria for passing, and if even one of them doesn’t like it you have to change it till they all are. No wonder it’s taken us a couple of years.”

“Well if you finish early feel free to join us.” Kurenai said as she led the others away.

Shikamaru watched her go, and noticed a certain exuberance in her step that had been missing the last few times she had witnessed the spars of Teams Eight and Ten. He had made it a point to monitor Kurenai for Asuma since his death as he figured that would be what his teacher wanted. In the past, it had taken a lot of begging to get Kurenai to even visit the training field to watch the teams practice. She had gotten better over time, but then would quickly return home. The idea that she would suggest they head out afterwards to a crowded restaurant would have been a foreign concept to the Kurenai of even a few weeks ago. All in all, it made Shikamaru suspect that she was now on the same improvement regiment that both Ino and Hinata seemed to have discovered. He also linked Kiba’s recent improvements to the same source, although he highly doubted that it was through the same means.

Beginning to walk home as he knew it would take a lot of effort to rouse his mother from her funk to even attend the upcoming Council meaning, he gave serious thought to getting his mother involved with the man he linked to all three women walking away as well as to all the others that he noticed seemed to improve after being tied to a certain knucklehead.

******

Karui sighed contently as she took a sip of her sake and let the warm water of the hot-springs she was enjoying relax her even further. She couldn’t help smiling as Rangiku said, “Now didn’t I tell you this is the life.”

Karui nodded as she had met the woman while she and Samui had escorted the Gold Level Shipment that they had been assigned to Konoha. They had met up in Frost Country where she had been amazed by the woman’s prowess in battle. Samui had been not overly surprised by her arrival it had seemed, but had been caught unaware when Rangiku had informed them that she was being assigned to their shipment. Karui had taken it as an insult at first, but Rangiku had explained it was because they had learned certain business rivals were hoping to give the Great Tree Shipping Company a black eye by having it lose one of its high level shipments. It had only been a few hours later when Karui had been treated to the sight of the new busty blonde tearing through enemies with her ash based attacks.

She hadn’t exactly been warm to the woman in the immediate aftermath as her skills and her jealousy at her beauty had made her rather catty. But, she had quickly warmed up as they reached an inn and they had bonded while revealing the night away. To her surprise even Samui joined in allowing Karui the first glimpse of the normally composed woman letting her hair down as it were. Still, by morning Karui’s guard had risen once more as they were joined by Naruto.

She let a small smile appear on her lips as she remembered him pouting when he had learned they had already taken care of the threat. She had found herself wondering when and how exactly the blond man had arrived as he had just seemed to appear, but had acted like he had been there for hours. Recalling how Samui despite having called the night rather early when compared to the others looked more haggard then them had almost made Karui wondered if there was something going on between her teammate and Naruto. She had shook the idea off as being crazy, especially as Samui hadn’t appeared jealous as Naruto and Rangiku had almost constantly flirted for the remainder of the journey.

However, that wasn’t to say the journey had been easy as they had been a little overzealous in proclaiming the shipment secure, since it appeared that whoever was targeting the shipment had hired more than one team. As such, Karui had arrived at Konoha in need of a soft bed. Which she had received, courtesy of the Great Tree Shipping Company. To go along with it, and the rather large check that she had received, the owner of the company was even letting her enjoy the Hot-Springs on her mansions grounds and which Karui had learned was normally reserved for a group called the Woman’s Bathing Association.

Enjoying the soak and the expensive sake, Karui was definitely planning to inquire as to how one became a member. She opened her eyes as a woman that she recognized as the Hokage appeared from the grotto to say, “Samui, he’s ready to see you and your guest now.”

Karui felt a little nervous since she was finally going to meet the mysterious masseur that Samui and even Rangiku had crowed so much about. Slipping out of the water along with her teammate she wrapped a towel around her body and followed after the blonde. She watched her activate a hidden passage and they then stepped down into some tunnels. Karui felt a little exposed walking naked, but for a towel, through the area despite how relaxed Samui appeared to be, suggesting she had made the trip dozens of times.

They reached a door which Samui opened letting Karui enter first. The red-head took in the homey decor which smelled of incense to help the people relax. There were two massage tables lying out in the center of the room. A comfortable looking couch laid against the back wall next to a cabinet filled with massage oils. After a few moments of waiting Karui’s eyes opened in surprise as a damp looking Naruto appeared from a back room. He smiled as he asked, “Are you ladies ready for your massages?”

Samui simply moved to one of the tables as Karui said, “Hold the hell up?” She directed her gaze to Samui to ask, “He’s the masseur?”

“Yes,” Samui said matter of factly, “Is that a problem?”

“Hell fucking yeah it is a problem,” Karui shouted, “He’s a Leaf-nin. Are you telling me you’ve been letting him rub you down all this time?”

Samui nodded, infuriating her teammate further since her calm gaze was implying that she couldn’t understand the issue. Then to Karui’s shock Samui dropped her towel before climbing up on one of the tables. Naruto quickly covered her exposed ass while the blonde kunoichi said, “Naruto, I’m starting to feel a little tense in my shoulders. Please make it go away.” Samui folded her arms in front of her and rested her chin on them as she stated to her teammate, “Karui, if it truly bothers you that much then go. But you should at least try something before rejecting it. You didn’t think you would enjoy this mission because it was for a company based in the Leaf, but you did have a good time and enjoyed the rewards.”

“Yeah, but still…”

Naruto created a clone which moved to the cabinet and selected one of the oils. It then returned to the table with Samui where after lathering its hands began to rub her shoulders. Samui let out a pleased sounding sigh as the clone focused its attention there.

Meanwhile, Naruto approached Karui to say, “You don’t need to drop the towel if it makes you uncomfortable. I can rub your calves and arms if you want, and if you want me to do more we can go from there.”

Karui gave Naruto a dubious gaze, but hearing Samui’s grunts and groans as she relaxed under the clones hands said, “Fine, but if your hands go someplace they aren’t supposed to I’m going to pummel you.”

“Don’t worry, they’ll only touch places you allow,” Naruto said turning towards the cabinet as Karui climbed onto the table. She placed her head in the hole and laid flat on her stomach as she heard Naruto rubbing his hands together to cover them in oil. He then began rubbing along her right arm and despite herself Karui began to relax. He soon moved to the opposite side of the table where he began to rub down her other arm in a similar manner. After Karui was relaxed he moved down to her feet. She felt some of her tension return as she feared he was trying to peek down her towel so clamped her legs shut.

Naruto chuckled causing Karui to frown, but soon he began to rub her feet causing her to groan as she could tell at the very least he was taking it seriously as he took his time with each foot. When he moved up to her calves she let out a groan as his fingers seemed to reach deep into her muscles to points that even the water of the hot-spring hadn’t relaxed. Naruto stopped at her knee causing the dark-skinned woman to let out a small disappointed sigh when he removed his hands. She heard him splash more oil onto them, and then they returned to her other leg. As she enjoyed his hands on her, she was unaware that she had spread her legs a little. Still, Naruto once again stopped at her knee, but he kept his hands on her as he asked, “Would you like me to go a little higher?”

Karui paused, but then said, “O-okay.” While she heard the clone tell Samui to roll over.

Naruto’s hands then began to rub one of her thighs up until he had no more room to work as it was pressed against the other. He then, rather than asking her to spread them, instead switched to the other causing Karui to moan. It also caused her to spread them a little further apart as she wanted him to rub higher. He took the wordless invitation causing her to groan agaom, but she became a little self-conscious as she felt a dampness begin to appear between her legs. She considered putting a stop to the massage, but the thought fled her mind as switched to the other leg. He again took his time as he worked his way up until he reached the edge of the towel and if he had been so inclined could have peeked up it to see that her pussy had grown rather moist.

Karui could hear Samui moaning from her table and wondered if her attitude was once more preventing her from experiencing something rather spectacular. Feeling good and a little playful she said without looking over, “Jeez, he must really be working you over their Samui.”

“He is,” Samui said breathlessly, “His fingers are reaching all the right places.”

Wanting what she was experiencing the dark-skinned woman said, “Don’t hold back. Let me really feel it.”

“Are you sure you want the same treatment as Samui?” Naruto asked causing the woman to pause for a moment as there was something in the man’s voice that told her that she might not know what she was getting into.

But hearing Samui pleased moans she replied, “I’m sure.”

She almost immediately regretted them as Naruto pulled open her towel as the knot had been on the side. But mindful that sitting up would give him an eyeful was about to curse at him until he covered her but with another but smaller towel. She then moaned as he began working her neck and shoulders after pouring some oil on her. He began really rubbing it in causing all her stress to melt away. After taking care of her shoulders and back, he asked, “Do you want me to do the front?”

Facing another moment of truth, she considered telling him that she was done. But, realizing that Samui had grown louder after being asked to roll over decided to. She felt a little self-conscious as she could imagine that she didn’t measure up to her teammate in his eyes, let alone the Hokage who had apparently had a session before them. She covered them from his eyes after making sure the small towel covered her front causing him to gently grip her hands stating, “It doesn’t work if just turning over causes all your stress to return. Maybe that should be it for today.”

Karui shook her head so he removed her hands and placed them on her sides. He then lathered up his hands again but as opposed to attacking her chest like she had thought he might. He began to focus on her stomach. She looked over to see Samui though was having the top of her thighs rubbed. Karui couldn’t believe how relaxed her teammate looked especially since it looked as if the hand working her inner thigh was right by her groin. But if Samui felt he was too close she didn’t give any sign, although considering the way her chest was oiled up she doubted the woman would be bothered if he rubbed her direct.

Karui had to admit that Naruto knew what he was doing as she couldn’t believe how good just having her stomach rubbed could feel. He then moved to the head of the table where he began gently massaging her neck and upper chest. He then began to do the side of her breasts and just underneath them, before passing his hand through the valley of them. He repeated the pattern several times and she found that after all the teasing she almost was begging for him to touch them directly. She wasn’t the only one as her nipples had grown erect from his actions as if seeking attention.

Therefore, she almost screamed as Naruto removed his hands to move to practically the furthest point from them as he headed to the opposite end of the table and he began to massage down by her ankles. He then worked his way back up the front of her legs. He took his time again, leaving her to feel her aching nipples which were a constant reminder that they were feeling rather tense and wanted to be worked over. He reached the bottom of her thighs and she moaned in pleasure as his rubbing felt even better on the front. She didn’t even care as she felt him rubbing all the way up her legs to just below her increasingly wetter snatch. However, instead of moving for her pussy that was beginning to beg to be touched like her breasts had been. He stood on the right side of the table and began to use his right hand to rub along her stomach and the edge of the towel protecting her modesty. He then used the left to begin massaging around her breasts again.

Karui began squirming on the table as a wet squishing sound began to fill the room. It was coupled with the occasional wet sucking sound, but Karui was oblivious to it as she just knew there were three points on her body that were begging to be touched, but Naruto almost seemed hellbent to avoid them. She felt his hand slip under the edge of the towel into the trimmed red bush just above her pussy. Instead of protesting she raised her legs so that her feet could push her hips up towards the hand. She groaned as it seemed to retreat for a moment, before pushing a little further this time touching the top of her slit. Karui let out a loud moan as Naruto’s finger circled gently over the hood of her clit, before sliding lower to rub her pussy. His left hand meanwhile had begun to tease her right breast, and he leaned over her to take her dark-brown colored nipple of her left breast into his mouth.

Somewhere in Karui’s mind she knew the massage was getting out of hand, but even that part shut down as Naruto slipped his middle finger inside her cunt and began rubbing her sensitive nerves. She looked over at Samui, and could see that much like her the woman was lost to the throes of passion as the clone was rapidly fucking her pussy with his fingers, while she had freed his cock to suck on. Seeing what the clone was packing caused her to turn her gaze to Naruto which because he was hunched over her, she couldn’t see the bulge so she reached out to feel it. Naruto groaned as she rubbed his cock hesitantly at first but soon grew bolder. She felt good knowing her body had produced such an effect in a man that seemed to have both her teammate, and since she suspected the Hokage had received a similar massage, desiring his cock.

“W-what’s going on here?” she managed to say even though she didn’t stop her hand’s rubbing of his dick.

Naruto pulled his mouth from her breast to bring his face before hers. Staring into her amber eyes, he said, “I intend to make you one of my lovers. You said you wanted the same treatment as Samui.”

Karui looked over at her teammate to see her confirm the Leaf-nin’s statement, but Samui was oblivious as she let out a cry as the clone had climbed onto the table and bent her in half as he began fucking her pussy. She looked back at Naruto, and wasn’t sure what to do. Her body made up her mind for her as Naruto’s hand working of its own volition sensed her pussy tensing around his probing digit, and more from muscle memory then conscious thought he pressed his palm into her clit causing her to climax. Karui’s hips lifted off the table as she let out shout while her cunt squeezed his finger so tight he feared she’d snap it off. She relaxed after a moment and looked out with eyes that saw everything and nothing.

Naruto hefted her up and carried her to the couch where he held her in his arms as he sat down. When she came to she found herself feeling extremely relaxed and content in the jinchuriki’s gently hold on her. She pulled free as she looked at the table where the woman she had only seen keep the world at bay was displaying a side she had never seen, but knew Naruto had time and time again. Looking back at him she said calmly, “You two played me.”

“I suppose that’s true.”

“To what end?”

“World domination.” When Karui looked back at him in shock he chuckled as he said, “Sorry, I couldn’t resist.” Her gaze narrowed so he swallowed heavily so he quickly explained, “Really, though our goal is to bring the villages closer together.”

Karui didn’t laugh as his words caused everything she had seen up to then to click into place. “You mean the current Alliance is all because of you. Kumo’s resurgence, the increased trade, and just about everything in between.”

“No,” Naruto said, “It’s because of all my lovers and the faith they put into that dream. I’m just one man, by myself, I could never have gotten as far as we have.”

Karui felt rather insignificant as she imagined the stature of some of the women working with him. It showed in her voice as she looked away and said, “Then why target me? I’m just a single insignificant jounin.”

Naruto reached out for her turning her face towards his as he said, “This isn’t like you. When we worked to get Killer Bee back you weren’t short on confidence. Karui, whether what you contribute is small, large, or nothing at all, I know you are anything by insignificant. The only barriers that can hold you back are the ones you allow to. If you apply yourself, then you can become anything you want to be, even the Raikage.”

Karui’s eyes grew wide hearing a dream she had as a child and occasional still desired being repeated. A part of her doubted it was possible since it was so apparent that Ay favored Darui, but staring into Naruto’s blue eyes she didn’t doubt he meant every word. Realizing the man was also tied to the other women in the Hidden Thunder Inn and not just Samui, she climbed into his lap and pulled out his cock. She rubbed her soaking cunt against it causing him to lean back into the couch and groan. Enjoying the sound she said, “How can you believe that from only two missions with me?”

Naruto leaned up to bring his face right before hers to answer, “The mission to save Bee showed me all I needed to know about you. You’re brave, skilled, passionate, and loyal to those around you. Those are all the qualities needed in a Kage. They are also qualities I love in a woman. How about you, what do you look for in a man?”

Karui thought about it for a moment, before answering with a mischievous smile, “He needs to be handsome and rich. Lucky for you it appears you fulfil those two requirements.” She raised up to guide his cock inside her, but added, “But, I think I could definitely fall hard for a man that is confident enough to think he can handle a future Raikage, and kind enough to support her.”

They both groaned as she slipped down his shaft until the head of his cock was poking her womb. Naruto pulled her into a kiss after which he said, “I will do everything in my power to make your dreams come true.”

“Then, everything that I am and can be, is yours,” Karui said as she began bouncing on his shaft. She moaned as Naruto began meeting her downward thrusts while leaning back in the couch and fondling her breasts.

Naruto watched the woman enjoy his dick and enjoyed the way her skin glistened from the oil that covered it. He leaned up to capture one of her bouncing breasts with his mouth and caused her to let out a deep groan as he sucked on it. His tongue began to tease her nipple, before he switched to the other.

Wanting to take control he stood and then planted her in the couch. Karui spread her legs widely as she draped her arms over the back of the couch. Naruto then drove his cock down into her causing the woman to moan, “Mmmm… yeah that’s it fuck my pussy with that big cock.”

Hearing her words, drove Naruto wild as he began to furiously pound her snatch. She then began to rub the top of her pussy, while he leaned forward to kiss her in a sloppy wet kiss. Feeling his end was approaching, he waited until she screamed, “Oh…oh shit…Cumming!!!!” Naruto grabbed the back of her knees and pushed them into her shoulders before burying his shaft inside her. Hitting her womb he let loose a torrent of his seed. He pumped his hips a few times towards the end as if to force out the last few strands. He pulled out and loved the way his cum contrasted with her dark skin as it began to leak out.

Sitting next to her in the middle of the couch he sighed contently as she snuggled into his side. A moment later Samui joined them having finished with the clone in time to watch most of their fucking. “Samui, you bitch you set me up.”

Samui gave her teammate a smile which Karui still had trouble believing, especially as the blonde grabbed Naruto cock while saying, “It looks like you don’t have any complaints.” She then made the Leaf-nin groan as she swallowed him tasting her teammate’s cunt which coated his rod.

Karui blushed but then said, “I do have one. You’re horning in on my masseur. Go get your own.”

Samui let Naruto go with a pop, and held his dick towards her teammate who took him into her mouth. The blonde kumo-nin watched red-head suck off her lover before saying with a smile, “I think you’ll find there’s enough of him to go around.” She then lowered her head back to his groin to work in tandem with Karui to make the man they now shared feel amazing.

Author’s note: First let me thank everyone that took the time to review the last chapter. They are the currency which helps keep me going. Also, I hope this chapter was worth the wait. It did grow a little longer than I had expected. I don’t currently have a great deal to add other than the next chapter should be the last of the Welcome to Club N. It might grow by one more chapter depending on how big it gets. As might be apparent at this point, this arc is kind about closing some of the long standing plot threads in regards to the women. I think the first chapter after this arc should make it apparent as to why. I hope this chapter meets expectations and was worth the wait. Thanks again for taking the time to read, and hopeful review. Sincerely, The Lemon Sage.
