Chapter 09: Show Up Again
Naruto had everything ready by the end of that same night, all paperwork was done and the money was already being transferred from his bank account. It was such a large sum that he had to personally talk with a representative of the branch bank in Konoha, but it was quickly resolved. One the very next day, Konoha would have a new proprietor inside its walls.
Naruto was too anxious to wait until next morning however, and by the same night a veritable army of Shadow Clones were going all around town, under Henge and other similar disguises to quicken his plans as much as possible. He was buying material, looking for carpenters to make him furniture, all kinds of things. He didn't, however, hired anyone to build his home and around his property.
That was because he could do that himself, mostly. He had hundreds of clones that took up work on construction sites and had learned inumerable skills and techniques, from all over the place. He might find difficulties on the artistic side of things, he wasn't the most classy person so he should look for an architect for that. But… he had someone in mind already, working on that line of work guaranteed he'd know some pretty good inside information about good professionals.
He was so excited he took Fuu and Sakura over to show them and talk about his plans. Both of them couldn't help but smile at how excited and gleeful he talked about his future house and how he'd do this and that. Sakura inwardly shocked about Naruto buying this piece of land, though. She tried to rationalize a way for the young shinobi to have amassed that kind of money, but couldn't fathom a way. She had no idea how Naruto used his multitude of clones to gather the money, and still was.
"So, what do you think?" Naruto finished his ramble as he hooked his arm around Fuu's waist and Sakura's arm. "Pretty cool, huh?!"
"You sure have some nice ideas Naruto, i'm sure it'll be great…" Fuu smiled gently, holding him with a hand on his shoulder and molding her body on his side intimately. "I never knew you had such big plans."
"Yeah, really… I didn't even know about the Uzumaki Clan…" Sakura was a bit down about that. She was supposed to be a walking encyclopedia by now, it was one of the only things she had from her time in the Academy that she was still proud of.
"Ha, it's okay Sakura, it's been several decades since the Uzumaki vanished into obscurity." Understanding the pinkette's thoughts, the only man in the group gently elbowed her to take her mind out of the dumps. "But i'll make people learn of me, of us, pretty soon."
"Say, Naruto… How are you going to, you know… Revive your Clan? If it's only you…?" Sakura asked curiously, but also afraid to dampen the blonde's mood. Kami knew how she had done him enough wrong already her entire life before finally accepting him.
"Well, it's actually not only me, there are other Uzumaki around the Elemental Nations." His answer shocked his teammate however, who whirled around to face him. "I've met some. I plan to bring them here, if they accept my invitation."
"Are you serious?! How come they're not in Konoha, though…?" Sakura scrunched up her eyebrows, confused. "Weren't they and Konoha allies? Why didn't they come here?"
Here Naruto's face lost all the warmth, turning into an emotionless mask, his eyes looking over his two companions in a particular direction they didn't knew about with cold indifference.
"I think i have an idea why." his voice was low and cold and very unlike him, so much so that the two women felt a little shiver ran down their spine.
The two of them were trained kunoichi and were very sensitive to the subtle change of Naruto's demeanor. Not only did they come to know him pretty well, recently for Fuu and since a long time ago for Sakura (although she was having to reacquaint herself with this new Naruto), but they could feel the danger in his voice as people that worked in that line of work.
"Naruto..?" A little meeker then she intended to sound, Sakura held the sleeve of his shirt looking worriedly at him. "What is it? What happened?"
"... Nothing." Naruto shook his head, showing he didn't want to talk about the subject. He then changed entirely back to his sunny self and smiled excitedly. "Let's go, i'm thinking about having a bowl of ramen. Can you believe i haven't had any since coming back?!"
"Sigh, always ramen." Sakura shook her head and had a rueful smile as she followed (or was dragged) by the blond, at the other side of him to Fuu.
"Of course!"
"But wow, i never thought you'd come back looking so handsome, Naruto!" The always energetic and gentle Ayame exclaimed as he finished his last bowl with a big smile, seating beside him were Fuu that had finished a while ago and Sakura that had elicited to just sip on cup of tea.
"Well, of course, i'm a ladies man now!" Naruto boasted, slapping his bicep boisterously.
"Haha, who'd say that little runt would be courageous enough to say that in front of a Lady, hm?" Ayame had her eyes squinted dangerously, the smile at her lips not at all gentle like usual.
"I'm even more courageous than that, you know?" Naruto didn't mind playing with fire so he gave her the cockiest smile he could and looked her up and down. "How about a date so you'd know everything else that changed too?"
"Oh my…" An older Lady a couple of sits to the side couldn't help but place the palm of her hand against her cheek and say under her breath.
"..." Ayame on the other hand had no words at the bold Naruto. He was never like that when he was small. As loud and brash as he used to be, a little teasing from anyone of the female gender and he'd go red in the face and turn into a stuttering mess.
"I guess you can't deal with me yet, there's much growing up to do for you yet." Nodding sagely, Naruto reached for his pocket and placed a few bills on the counter. "Thanks for the meal, Ayame-neesan. Tel Teuchi-ojisan back there i'll come again."
Leaving a bemused looking Ayame behind, Naruto took his two companions out of the small store and they began to walk aimlessly for a while. They were just spending time together and enjoying the night breeze. Sakura was deep in thought, however, and after a couple of minutes she stopped the other two on their walk.
"Naruto… Can i talk with you a bit? In private?" She was biting her lip and looking down, somewhat insecure about herself.
"Sure…" He nodded, and looking at Fuu on the other side of him he gave her a small kiss on the cheek. "I'll meet you back home later?"
"Hmm." She nodded and reciprocating his small kiss, she went off, waving at Sakura as she went.
Naruto and Sakura kept walking some distance further, stopping by some park on the way and seating at a bench. It was fairly dark and empty, but the moonlight shining down on them and the pleasant night breeze made it a very good spot. He didn't press Sakura o talk, but Naruto was certainly curious about what she had to say.
"I… I don't know how to say this…" She began, biting her lip and with her fingers interlaced. I've been thinking about this ever since you left the village, but even now i…"
"Sakura…" Placing a hand over hers, he smiled at her, brushing her hand with his thumb in a calming way. "It's okay, just tell me."
"Naruto…" She felt a bit calm, but also a bit emotional at his supportive nature. "I'm so sorry…"
Then she lunged herself on his chest and hugged him tight, sobbing and trying to talk at the same time. For several minutes she kept apologizing and apologizing, crying nonstop. She felt sorry about how she treated him, the cruel things she said, the way she saw him, the contempt she held for him, the times she failed him, the times she asked for his help even though she didn't deserved it, how she never used to think about his feelings, how she never tried to comfort him when they went through difficult times. She did a lot of apologizing and a lot of crying, and all through that Naruto just caressed her back and hair and hugged her whispering 'it's ok, it's ok' repeatedly.
It took quite a while for Sakura to finally stop sobbing on him, but even then she didn't leave his embrace, feeling safety in his warmth and strong arms on her vulnerable moment. The way his voice sounded beside her ear and his hand traveling her back and hair weren't bad either. She took a deep breath and pulled away from him just enough to look up at his face.
"I'm sorry." She said one final time, her eyes puffy and her face red, but no tears left to cry.
"Hm, it's forgiven and forgotten." Naruto spoke softly, stroking her cheek with his thumb.
The two stayed looking at one another in that way for several breaths, seeing deep inside the other's eyes. Slowly, their face drew closer, Sakura mesmerized by the deep sky blue eyes he had that she never paid much attention to, Naruto just now remembering how lovely her sapphire green were.
Their lips touched softly and they made no attempt to deepen the kiss just yet. Their eyes closed, and Naruto's hand went both to the back of her neck, his fingers digging deep through her hair and caressing her skull. Sakura felt the shivers run up her spine and her lip trembled a bit, the reactions stronger than she ever dreamed off.
They didn't know how long their chaste kiss lasted, but when they separated from each other, Sakura had a different kind of red on her cheeks and Naruto was smiling gently down at the pinkette. When Sakura opened her mouth to say something, Naruto dived in again and kissed her much more passionately. His tongue slipped in and while he held her head in place with the hand at the back of her head, his other hand went around her waist and pulled her in by the small of her back.
Sakura instantly felt herself melt on his arm, her inexperienced kissing, something she was quite aware of most of her time imagining her first kiss, was completely blown out of her head by the blonde's need. She had let herself go and her hands were showing. One was desperately holding on the front of his shirt, afraid he'd let go of her, while her other hand was on the side of his neck and up his face, feeling with her hand the smooth skin.
Somewhere down the line, Naruto had pulled Sakura over his lap and she was only too happy to straddle him, her arms around his neck and her torso glued to his. Sakura was getting increasingly hot and secretly, was feeling super giddy at the feeling of something pushing up against her ass. The thought of causing such a reaction on Naruto was doing more for her insecurities then she would admit out loud.
Naruto on the other hand was consciously slowing things down for him, as he could feel Sakura's inexperience. That usually wouldn't factor in as much on his actions, but her vulnerability moments before and him knowing the things she went through forced him to reconsider. Of course, he was still having the time of his life groping her thighs and using his body to feel up hers. The boner he kept pressing on her ass wasn't something he could control anyway, and by the way she moved her hips, she didn't mind either.
In a quick and seamlessly move, Naruto puled Sakura down and laid her on the park's bench underneath him. He went down from her lips to her neck, kissing her and letting his hands explore upwards from her thighs. His hand felt up her tight stomach, relishing in her toned, but still super soft belly. His thumb made a circle around her belly button and he could say Sakura was sensitive there.
Sakura's hand on his hair and the small gasps and moans were adorable, and her attempts to steal a kiss every now and then, only for Naruto to keep his path down her neck was turning into a little exciting game. Lifting up her shirt as his hands went up, he reached the small burgundy bra, and the tip of his fingers went over the bra cup to touch the soft skin of her breasts.
Sakura was somewhat bigger than Fuu, yet still quite small. But Naruto always felt like he could have fun with boobs of any size, so his thirst for her didn't decrease in the slightest. He held on of her breasts in a hand and began to fondle and play with it. Sakura was panting and kissing any part of him she could reach, which was mostly his hair. Yearning for her lips once again, Naruto climbed back up and Sakura was only eager to take him on.
Finally the blonde pulled the woman's bra over her chest and directly groped her chest, teasing the small swell of her nipple and making the already wet kunoichi get even more so. Naruto was over her, so he took his time pressing his cock on her shorts clad pussy, showing her just how much she excited him. Everytime he pressed his crotch particularly hard or for longer than usual, Sakura would buckled and moan on him.
Finally, Naruto's hand went down her stomach to the hem of her shorts and the tip of his fingers began to slip inside, but Sakura immediately tensed and her hand went for his wrist holding him back. She lingered on his lips a bit, then pulled her face back with a very flushed face and half lidded eyes that were trying to recover her sanity.
"I'm… I'm not-" Sakura began, lost in the moment still, her hold of his hand weakening at the look of want on her teammate's eye.
"... Ok" Naruto sucked in a lot of the fresh air inside his lungs to calm down and also pulled back. "I think… We should…"
"Yeah…"
They detangled themselves from each other slowly, turning back to a proper sitting position as they recovered their breath and calmed down. Naruto looked up at the moon as he let the heat pooled inside his stomach disperse, his throbbing member not satisfied, but going down as he took the thoughts of Sakura's cute moans out of his mind.
Sakura on the other hand was getting increasingly embarrassed as time went on, and not one bit less horny. She soooo wanted this, her body screamed for this, her panties were VERY damp and the heat between her legs was nearing unbearable. But her logical mind was telling her this was wrong, she shouldn't and all kinds of contrary opinions. The conflict was getting really hard to bear.
"I think we should be going then… I don't want to lose control again." Naruto smirked looking beside him, trying to not show how disappointed he was that she made them stop.
"Y-yeah.. Ok." Sakura deflated a bit at the way he said that, and the cold that settled inside her stomach. She couldn't help but think that… She missed a chance here. "Ok."
They got up, and Sakura had to look the other way as Naruto gingerly tried to 'fix' his pants to hide his still somewhat hard cock. After that, they began to walk back towards the center of the village, were Sakura's house was. They walked in silence mostly, thoughts of their night and their conversation going through her mind.
Naruto felt somewhat uncomfortable being rejected, but logically he knew this was only expected. It just has been a long time since someone cut his fun short, so his mood wasn't the greatest. Of course, he was completely ok with Sakura's decision, but no one was ever happy having their fun cut short, so he tried to forget it as much as he could.
In the meantime, Sakura was feeling colder and colder inside. The moment she had stopped him, she felt like that was a major mistake. Not because she had noticed the disappointment on him, but because she couldn't help but be disappointed herself. She had spent so much time pining for someone that never gave her the time of day, always dreaming of having romantic and lewd times in equal measure even if she would never say a soul.
and here she was, with someone she not only thrusted with her life , that had proven time and time again he cared for her and was always there for her, always noticed her and looked out for her, and was such a hunk and confident man … And she blew her chance. She blew it, and she knew because he was soon going to go home and back at his home there was someone that wouldn't refuse him.
She knew Naruto wasn't the kind to dismiss and go after someone just because she wasn't 'putting out' and the other woman was, of course she knew this. But didn't he say that before, that he didn't think much of having fun? So he was for certain going to her arms, and all that she could have had tonight was going to belong to someone else.
"We're here" Naruto called out to Sakura, waking her up from her thoughts.
Sakura bit her lip, but in the end couldn't make up her head and just nodded. She went to open her door, feeling his big body radiating heat from behind, a lot more conscious about his presence then ever. She paused for a moment, keys already leaving the unlocked door's keyhole and the door handle already in her grasp. Then she whirled around on her feet and hugged Naruto's neck, kissing him at the edge of his lips.
"I loved tonight." she whispered in his ear, before vanishing inside her home with her heart beating fast.
That was the best she could do for now. She had some thinking up to do and, more than anything… Some cold shower. Or maybe, she should take care of the pooling wetness on her panties the other way, her fingers might not be Naruto's, but she could imagine…
Somewhere else in the world:
A blonde Shinobi, dressed on a sleeveless kimono top, black with orange tracings and symbols on both sides of his chest and at the back, sat comfortable on a desk in his hideout with a multitude of scrolls and books and even drawings of markings. The same could be seen on the walls and the ground. His face contorted in concentration as he finished some annotations on a door sized large scroll that he had unrolled over other books and scrolls in front of him.
This was one of Naruto's Sennin Kage Bunshins, one of the few that was still studying ever since he was brought to the world as a part of the very first few batches of Sennin Kage Bunshin Naruto spread around the world. Usually, the Sennin Kage bunshin would go around, picking up skills and knowledge and once they felt they had accomplished something useful, they'd dispel to give the Original the chance to incorporate that. That was their job after all.
And this one was actually no different, it was just… He found something amazing, scary and possibly absurdly mind boggling on his travels, and he let go of every and all plans to focus on it. This was somewhere around two years ago, though if he was being honest with himself he was fairly out of touch with the outside world, the only information he's getting from out there are the ones belonging to the dispelling clones, that shares their memories amongst all clones + the original.
And thankfully so. Many times he had found a small block on his studies and his investigations, and that block had only been lifted with the help of new information, new knowledge, new skills, new jutsu and etc. They were all evolving together, and that lead to even more possibilities. But he could feel it now, in his very bones. He was getting closer. Naruto was almost there. Just a little bit longer…
Back in Konoha:
It was already official, the property was in his name and construction had already began. Mainly, with cleaning and leveling the place, as well as making a path and a proper wall to surround the future Uzumaki compound. Naruto was beyond excited, and he couldn't focus on anything else the next morning. He had bid a tired looking Fuu goodbye and had a fresh and early morning start on his plans. His Shadow Clones were going everywhere, and some new Sennin Kage Bunshin were also made and sent outside Konoha to negotiate and enquire about some things.
The whole morning, Naruto('s Clones) had been going at the perimeter of his land and spamming Doton: Doryuuheki (Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall), his own version raising 8 feet tall walls of solid, compact and smooth dark gray looking rock, with thick looking mostly decorative spikes lining up at the top. He'd build proper walls later, for now he just wanted to make the separation. Everything inside was his now.
The ground was easier. With the help of a few clones, they all cleaned the path of threes they uprooted and rocks they broke down, then used the jutsu Doton: Tsuchi-atsu (Earth Release: Earth Pressure) to bit down a straight path all the way from the road outside. Naruto had already bought some beautiful moss green bricks that were very durable and had good traction, so he'd properly lay then down once the delivery is made.
He did receive quite a few 'visitors' who were curious about what all that noise was about, but he paid them no mind, just working on and on. Eventually, though, he received a visit from someone he did know, albeit not as much. A purple haired, trench coat wearing bombshell walked in with a curious look on her face and a pretty sexy sway to her hips as she sauntered towards him (the only Naruto who wasn't running around as he was resting).
"Quite the mess you're making, Gaki." The old (not old at all) proctor of the Chunin Exams, Mitarashi Anko, called out once she was a few steps away from the resting shinobi. "Mind telling me what's this about?"
"I've just bought this… Lots of work to be done." Shrugging, Naruto looked her up and down and internally nodded his head. He didn't try to hide it, and by the glint in her eyes, Anko was well aware of this.
"Oh… Quite the bold gaki, aren't you…? I remember you." With the same sway to her hips, the sexy kunoichi walked right up to Naruto's face and smiled dangerously. "You tasted quite good back then."
The already experienced shinobi in Naruto knew what she was trying to do, bringing up memories of his inadequacy as a young boy as well as the memory of her own strength over him, so she could look intimidating and have some measure of power and control over him at this moment. Anko wasn't part of Konoha's intelligence department as a torturer and interrogator for nothing. But this Naruto was a whole different beast to the small kitt from before.
"Oh yes, I remember how you came at me from behind and gave me a good licking." The blond spoke thoughtfully. Then he blurred out of sight, to the shock of the purple haired woman, who tensed.
"So maybe this time…" a pair of strong large hands grabbed her by the hips and a big bulge pressed up against her round firm ass, Naruto pressing his crotch to her behind as he glued his body to hers and whispered on her ear just like she did some years before. "I can return that licking? I can even guarantee it's going to be way more pleasant for you than when you did for me…"
In a quick movement, the trapped Kunoichi pulled a kunai from kami knows where and spun on her feet, the blade held in a reverse grip as he used the rotation to plunge the tip on. His back below his right shoulder blade, her arm moving underneath his. The movement was well practiced and smooth, she never revealed a single signal she was going to attack, her body language impeccable to get people off guard.
But before the tip of the kunai reached within 5 centimeters of him, Naruto seemingly flowed by her. He bent at the waist and neatly evaded her attack by dodging beneath her arm, contorting his own on the way. Before her strike completely missed its mark, the young man reached with his hand to the left flap of her coat and pulled hard , feeding the momentum of her spin. Soon, not understanding how it came to be, she was once again with her back to him.
Except his time, because of her rougher ways, Naruto decided to get rough himself and so he pushed her against the tree he was using as a shade before, trapping her between the thick trunk… And the tree. (LOL, sorry).
"Tsk, you're so playful, Mitarashi-chan" using his weight to not only pin her against the tree but also take advantage of her amazing behind, Naruto still held one of her hands above her head. "If you just wanna play, you should have said so."
"..." Anko was still coming to grips with her situation to answer at first, but a grin came up her face as she pushed back with her large ass against Naruto's cock. "You sure knows how to treat a girl, but…"
Naruto felt the kawarimi trying to take hold over the girl's body, but he didn't feel like stopping her this time, so he let her go, though not before he thrusted his hip forward one last time so she'd know he had the control and had ALLOWED her to go. As expected, Anko showed up a couple meters away from him, leaving a small branch in her place.
"I'm thinking we should meet at a later date…" Anko brought her kunai's tip to her lips and actually bit on it with a sexy pout. "Too bad I'm on my way to work right now…"
"That's no problem, we can meet again sometime" with relaxed ease, Naruto sat under the shade and stretched his arms above him, lying his back on the tree.
Anko didn't answer, but she smirked and gave him a small wink, before vanishing in a shunshin, leaving the blonde alone again (or as alone as one could be with hundreds of Clones still working, some of which would give him big thumbs up whenever they passed by him). With a quiet sigh, Naruto went back to relaxing, closing his eyes for a short nap.
That wasn't the only visitor he got though, beyond the curious people looking over to see what was going on that is. Two people he knew pretty well, from his time at the ninja academy, showed up later in the day, together with Shizune.
"Naruto! You're back!" Chouji shouted at the top of his lungs. His powerful body making strides across the land to meet him, the long hair, powerful build and armored torso making nothing to diminish the gentleness of his smiling face. Strong and tall he may be, packed full of muscles and with a very nice track record in his career, but Choji was Choji always.
"Hey, Choji, Ino. How's it going?" Naruto got up from the floor, patting his behind to clean up. His smile towards his old academy colleagues was as sunny as ever, but the glint in his eyes when they went past Shizune made her skin crawl - in a good, wrong kind of way.
"My Kami, you've changed…" Ino spoke out, more to herself then anything. She was as gorgeous as ever, though now her more womanly body was drop dead gorgeous.
Kunoichi in general were usually very good looking. Maybe sometimes their faces didn't have much appeal, but there was rarely any that didn't have a nice, sexy body. But there were just some woman that went that bit farther. Tsunade was one such a person, she was so beautiful she was regarded, ever since she matured enough as a woman, to be the most beautiful kunoichi in the whole elemental nations, and that was not solely Konoha's talk either. She was truly recognized so.
Ino, as it turns out, might just be the next girl to take that title (if it weren't by the fact that Tsunade preserved her beauty to this day and therefore had never vacated her spot). She was not as curvy as Tsunade, but she was tall and charming, her face, her hair, her eyes, her lips, it was all simply gorgeous, and the package was just right. Sometimes, a woman didn't need to have the best individual parts to be supremely beautiful, she could just be like this: A woman whose body parts mashed perfectly with each other, making the whole go up that next level.
As Naruto observed the changes on his friends, both of them and Shizune also did the same in turn. Of course, there were some things in Naruto that would never change. The messy, sunny blond hair, the large smile, his relaxed and open character. But this was the first time they'd saw Naruto the man, instead of Naruto the bratty kid.
Of course, Choji just though Naruto looked mature and strong, and most importantly, healthy. Ino on the other hand, was having an internal debate. She had been over her crush on Sasuke a long time ago, not able to stomach his actions as well as the young avenger's teammates. Even if she still wanted him back in the village and still worried about him, she no longer had feelings for him. And indeed thought back to her actions with a little bit of embarrassment, with the way she groveled over his attention.
And she have been single ever since (well, she has always been single her whole time, actually), but decided to not care and focus on her career. Naruto's handsome looking smile on his hunk body, and dressed like an actual person made her falter on her that, though. She had never thought about what Naruto would be looking when he grew up, but that certainly wasn't the expected result she would think of.
"Everything's good, everything's good. I brought you some lunch, i heard you have been working in this place since early in the day…?" Choji being the ever friendly man, and heir to the barbecue franchise owning Akimichis, patted his arm and placed a container in his hands. "A kind of welcoming gift…. So you really bought all of this…?"
"Haha, thanks man, i was really getting hungry! And to answer your question…" He unwrapped the container and picked the hashis. "I did. And it's going to look amazing when i'm finished with it."
"Hey, Naruto…" Ino was surprisingly soft spoken once she addressed the other blond, brushing her long bangs aside for a moment. "Happy you're back."
"Hey, i'm happy to be back too." Again with the thousand watt smile, Naruto checked her out quick, though in a more respectful way. "And i've gotta say, you're looking beautiful!"
"Oh!" Ino blushed. ' What is going on?! I never blush! ' she thought internally. Then she struck a pose with a confident smirk. "Of course i am, did you thought i would look any different?!"
"Hahaha" Naruto didn't react much to that and only laughed happily. Shizune was oddly quiet as she joined the group in a circular formation as Naruto ate. "Shizu-nee, you're here again. Did you miss me?"
Shizune on her end was all flustered with Naruto's teasing. She never thought he'd behave like that in front of other people. Though it could be said this was just playful flirting, but that wasn't the usual way they interacted, or at least that wasn't the way people thought of the two of them.
"Naa-naruto!" Shizune shouted embarrassed. Choji just lifted an eyebrow and had a small laugh, not entirely understanding, but not caring enough to comment.
"Wow, you're pretty ballsy, Naruto!" Ino had a shocked look on her eyes.
This was Shizune, one of the most important figures in the village and, more important than that, she was one of the more frequent teachers on the Medic-nin program Konoha had been running with Tsunade's elevation to Hokage. Ino herself saw Shizune as one of the most strict teachers she ever had!
"Ha! Once you travel around and see a bit of everything…" Naruto shrugged his shoulders, letting them finish the thought themselves.
After that, the group began to talk and tell one another about their experiences and what they have been up to. Choji and Ino told about Shikamaru being mostly busy the last few months and how they'd run missions with other teams or even other departments, Ino helping with her father's work on the interrogation side of the Intelligence Dep. and also training her Iryo Ninjutsu and Choji mostly with helping out other teams in the field.
On the other side, Naruto told them about some of his adventures, taking on missions on behalf of Jiraya, the places he visited and things he did. He didn't go too much in details about his training and the people he faced, what he accomplished. Instead he just told things that would fit into the light hearted conversation.
During their conversation, Ino was getting progressively closer to him, even leaning on his side by the end, though not too much. She was touching shoulders with him, and laughing prettily at things he said. It was obvious to anyone that had eyes she was sending him signals, despite not initiating any flirting with him.
Shizune was eyeing this with some conflict in her eyes, but she kept to herself most time. She was also enjoying Naruto's retelling of his life the last three years, as she only knew the crude overall of his travels with the old Toad Sennin. But she couldn't help but feel a little… Challenged and unsatisfied. Choji was ignoring all of the undercurrents and focusing on Naruto, laughing out loud and slapping his shoulder in recognition of his efforts.
Eventually though, they both elicited to leave, as they had other responsibilities. It was funny to Naruto that everyone was assigned to some job or the other even when not taking missions outside the village, but he was just… Lazying around. Well, not really, he was working on his own personal projects, but this was still a personal project.
Maybe being Fuu's Handler counted for that, having left behind a Clone to make the mint haired girl company, but still. In any case, Naruto waved them goodbye and walked back inside the forest to rejoin his clones on working. Already they had dug out a large space were they planned to build the main house, were Naruto was going to live, right above the rock wall that was the source of the stream.
They were also changing the course of the stream, carefully to not make it ugly or ruin the terrain. They had identified the stream lead to a underground system that spilled water over another river right to the west of Konoha, so if he did things right, he'll be able to move the river to go all the way to the front of the property, build a beautiful fountain and then have the water go underneath it, through some pipes that would lead all the back to the same place it was in the beginning.
Right as he was getting into the planning of things, he heard a soft landing of feet. Turning back, he saw Shizune there once again, this time alone. She had a frown on her face, and her eyes were not looking directly at him. But she had an arm going underneath her breasts and was holding onto her other arm.
"Shizune? What did you come back for…?" Naruto smirked up at her, forgetting about his work and turning his body to face her directly. "You look like you want something…"
"I just… You shouldn't have… Flirted with me like that, you know?" She tried to divert from her real reasons, too shy and a bit prideful to say anything about it.
"But that ain't it, is it Shizune?" Naruto vanished from his place and reappeared right beside her, pulling her arm and making her fall on his chest. "I know what you want, and i'll give it to you. You only have to ask…"
Shizune went completely red in the face, but her eyes were moist and half lidded and her body set too comfortably stuck to his. She began to think back on that day where he dominated her and her slit gushed even more. Her skin was getting warmer and her Kimono felt like it was getting in the way. She mumbled some nonsensical words for a moment, trying to deny herself. But in the end, with Naruto's face so close, she couldn't help but lean in and then… She kissed him. A long, wet and full of need kiss, imploring him to do more .
"I want… You to do…" She softly said, arms around his neck and heavy breathing. "I want you to do the same as before… I want you ."
And so, without Shizune noticing, two other Naruto's surrounded her, all of them including the original had these cocky smirks on. When their shadows began to loom over her, she looked around startled, but upon seeing all three blondes looking at her with that same predator look and confident smirk in their face, she shivered. After that she only spoke one word:
"Oh…"
A/N: Well, one more chapter done. So, how many of you all thought something was about to happen with Anko there? Haha, sorry to disapoint you all, but don't worry, her time will come! In any case, this chapter had a little bit of all: Some new (old) faces showing up, some stuff with Sakura, Anko goodness, Naruto working on his current project, FORESHADOWING and a little bit more of Shizune at the end, with some other stuff. Hope you're not too disappointed with the lack of smut, but there'll be more in the next chapter.
Also, i've posted another story, on Highschool DxD. It'll center around Issei, and in a way will be similar to this one (Mixing smut with plot), except i'll be adding some characters from other franchises there and integrating them in the world of DxD. If you're interested, give it a try! The name is Dragon x Devil: Sin Incarnate.
See you next chapter and stay safe.
