This is a story I first wrote and published back in 2012. Looking back at it now, it sucks, but I'm putting this one-shot first on the list just for the sake of legacy, being my very first published foot tickle story. Warning: This story reflects my thoughts on the characters at the time it was written, thus characterization is mostly outdated. I've changed my opinion on some of them since then.

This story starts in the Village Hidden in the Leaves. It had been many months already since Hinata had lost Naruto to Sakura. Although she had been sad because of it, one day, a boy from the Village Hidden in the Mist named Shidomaru came and fell in love with her, and after some weeks, they started a relationship…

One day, Sakura and her boyfriend Naruto were walking together on one of the village's streets when they stumbled upon a rather unusual scene: Shidomaru had taken one of Hinata's sandals off and was tickling her foot, making her laugh and blush. He didn't stop there, as he soon started to kiss Hinata's foot as well…

"What the hell…?" Sakura said with some disgust…

"Oi! Hello!" Naruto happily greeted…

"N-Naruto-kun!" Hinata exclaimed in surprise…

"What do you want?" Shidomaru asked coldly, looking at Naruto and Sakura with the corner of the eye…

"You guys are having a great time, huh?" Naruto said with a smile…

"Are you having a great time, Hinata-chan?" Shidomaru asked his girlfriend Hinata, but she just blushed and fiddled with her fingers without answering anything. Shidomaru then resumed tickling and kissing her foot…

"I see you're having fun! Believe it!" Naruto exclaimed, he then turned towards Sakura. "Are we going to have fun too, Sakura-chan?" Naruto said to Sakura in a flirtatious tone as he wrapped his arm around her waist…

Now, if there was something Sakura hated, it was having a pervert flirting her. "Shannaro!" she screamed as she punched Naruto clean through a wall. "Get your hands off me, you pervert!" Sakura shouted furiously…

Hinata and Shidomaru watched the whole scene. After that, Shidomaru started to laugh at them. "How pathetic! …One thing's for sure, Hinata-chan: We'll never be like those two losers!" Shidomaru said…

"Sh-Shidomaru-kun! I-I told you not to talk like that about people!" Hinata scolded Shidomaru…

"My apologies, Hinata-hime" Shidomaru replied solemnly…

"H-Hime?" Hinata said in surprise, and again blushed and fiddled with her fingers, which prompted Shidomaru to tickle and kiss Hinata's foot even more affectionately than before…

At that moment, Sakura's face turned envy green in color as she watched Hinata laughing and enjoying the tickling. Sakura wasn't content with just having stolen Hinata's previous boyfriend, she wanted to outshine Hinata completely in every aspect. The next thing Sakura did was to walk over to where Naruto had landed. He was barely starting to get up when Sakura sat at a bench next to him…

"Naruto! Take my boot off!" Sakura ordered…

"Huh?" the confused Naruto replied…

"Didn't you hear me? Take my boot off!" Sakura ordered again…

"Why, Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked…

"Just do it!" Sakura growled as she threatened to punch Naruto again…

"Fine! Fine! I'll do it, Sakura-chan!" Naruto said as he took one of Sakura's boots off, similarly to how Shidomaru had previously taken one of Hinata's sandals off…

"Now what?" Naruto asked as he stared at Sakura's foot, blushing and feeling somewhat tempted…

"Tickle me!" Sakura ordered…

"Huh?" Naruto screamed, unable to believe what was happening. "Sakura-chan! What the…?"

"Don't make me repeat myself, Naruto!" Sakura replied…

Thus, Naruto took hold of Sakura's foot with one hand and neared the other to Sakura's sole, preparing to tickle her. However, he hadn't even started and Sakura suddenly burst in a loud, fake laughter, trying to make herself heard by Hinata and Shidomaru…

"What? I haven't even started yet! Believe it!" Naruto exclaimed…

Of course, Hinata and Shidomaru watched it all. "Peh! She's just trying to prove something, Hinata-chan… But it's useless! No one can equal your cuteness, my sweetie" Shidomaru said to his beloved Hinata-chan before tickling her foot once more, causing Hinata to utter a genuine laughter…

The next day, Hinata went out of her house when suddenly Shidomaru greeted her with a bouquet of flowers. She gasped in surprise…

"Good morning, my princess" Shidomaru greeted Hinata-chan…

"Sh-Shidomaru-kun! …Thank you!" the blushing Hinata said as she took the flowers. Few minutes later, Shidomaru and Hinata went out of the village together. They eventually arrived at a clearing in the forest…

"What are we going to play today, Hinata-chan?" Shidomaru asked…

"Um… I don't know… Surprise me" Hinata answered…

However, not only Sakura, but also Ino, Tenten and even Temari, all of them appeared in the clearing as well, all looking at Hinata with serious faces…

"E-Everyone? …W-What are you doing here?" Hinata timidly asked…

As for Shidomaru, he had already performed a hand sign, preparing for combat. "I see! You're jealous of Hinata-hime's sheer beauty and brought all of your friends to gang up on her and beat her up!" Shidomaru accused Sakura…

"Nope! …We people of the Hidden Leaf Village aren't that barbaric" Sakura answered, she then looked at Hinata. "Hinata! You think you're the only one who can have fun with tickles… But you're wrong!"

"Huh?" was all that the embarrassed Hinata said in response…

"Yeah! Like... Why only you get tickled? Like… We got beautiful feet too!" Ino said…

"I-I don't understand…" the scared Hinata said…

"Then we'll have to show you! You can come out now, boys!" Sakura exclaimed…

Naruto came out from behind a tree, not nearly as enthusiastic as he usually is. It was obvious he had been forced into this…

"You can come out too, Sai-kun!" Ino said happily, prompting Sai to come out from behind another tree with his usual emotionless face…

"Bring your boy too, Temari-san" Sakura said to Temari…

"What do you think I'm trying to do?" Temari answered angrily as she was trying to drag the unwilling Shikamaru into the clearing. "Come on, Shikamaru! You've gotta participate too! Get your ass up!"

"Nope… I'm not getting into this" Shikamaru calmly answered before yawning, passively refusing to take part in Sakura's plan…

Now three of the four girls had brought their boys, but Tenten started to comically cry rivers of tears. "Neji-kun refused to come…" she concisely explained

"Don't worry, Tenten. I've got you a substitute for Neji…" Sakura answered. "…Come out, Lee!"

"Wooooo!" Lee shouted in a Bruce Lee style as he made a Dynamic Entry into the clearing, luckily not kicking anyone in the process. "I'm ready, Sakura-san!" Lee exclaimed, being the only boy showing any enthusiasm here…

"Um… W-What's this all about?" Hinata timidly asked…

"We'll show you!" Sakura exclaimed, then she, Ino, Tenten and Temari all took seat on a trunk or a rock or whatever was in the clearing that they could sit on. All of them crossed their legs or otherwise put themselves in a comfortable position. "Shoes off!" Sakura ordered, so Naruto took Sakura's boot off, Sai took Ino's shoe off and Lee took Tenten's sandal off as well. Shikamaru just wouldn't do anything whatsoever, not even at Sakura's orders…

"Shikamaru! Take my shoe off!" Temari ordered…

"What a drag…" Shikamaru answered…

Temari then took her shoe off by herself and stepped with her bare foot on Shikamaru. "C'mon! I'm sexy too! Doesn't my beautiful foot seduce you?" she said as she began trampling relatively gently, thinking she could seduce Shikamaru…

"Hey! Stop that!" Shikamaru said. "It doesn't make me excited!"

"Then why is this thing so hard?" Temari mockingly said as she touched Shikamaru's forbidden zone with her bare foot…

"Don't touch there!" Shikamaru exclaimed as he pushed Temari's foot away from his privates. Obviously Shikamaru was by no means a pervert…

"Begin!" Sakura ordered. The annoyed Naruto started tickling Sakura's foot only to hear that loud fake laugh again. Ino also faked a laugh, though not as loud as Sakura's, while Sai tickled her foot with his brush. Tenten's laugh on the other hand was true, since Lee was the only one putting effort into it…

"Why are you doing this, Lee?" Tenten managed to ask in-between her laughter…

"I would have preferred to tickle Sakura-san, but she asked me to do a favor to her and I'm going to do my best for her!" Lee answered…

"Tickle me, Shikamaru!" Temari ordered…

"So tired…" Shikamaru answered, he then flipped himself so now he was laying face-down. Temari grinned and took this opportunity to make creative use of Shikamaru's topknot to tickle her foot, something which annoyed Shikamaru…

Hinata and Shidomaru were watching this rather ridiculous scene of the other girls tickled and trying to show off. Hinata felt embarrassed…

"Sh-Shidomaru-kun… L-Lets get out of here. This is giving me the creeps" Hinata suggested…

But Shidomaru instead put on an evil grin on his face, showing his carnivore teeth typical of a Hidden Mist ninja, but with a gap where his upper-right fang should be. "I must say… You don't impress me!" Shidomaru said to all others, who stopped tickling when they heard him say that. "Watch how a true master does it!"

Saying that, Shidomaru made Hinata seat in a relatively comfortable place and slowly took her sandal off…

"N-No… Sh-Shidomaru-kun! P-Please no! Not in front of them!" Hinata pleaded, but Shidomaru was already starting…

To begin, Shidomaru gently took hold of Hinata's bare foot, and this alone made Hinata laugh. Everyone was surprised…

"What? He just barely touched her foot! Believe it!" Naruto exclaimed…

"Is she that ticklish?" the surprised Sakura said…

Next, with just one finger Shidomaru started very gently caressing Hinata's sole, all the way from the heel to the arch to the big toe, with Hinata laughing uncontrollably all the way…

"Wow! That's like, so sensual!" Ino exclaimed in surprise as well…

Shidomaru's next move was none other than smelling Hinata's foot. Just the air moving towads Shidomaru's nostrils was enough to tickle the beautiful and super-cute Hinata. After that, Shidomaru kissed Hinata's foot with noticeable affection. The kiss also tickled Hinata…

"Oh my god! Foot worshipping!" Ino exclaimed, covering her face with her hands but peeking in-between her fingers…

"His foot-tickling abilities are pretty impressive" Sai calmly admitted…

Shidomaru started tickling Hinata's foot sole with all four fingers (not counting thumb) moving between the different parts of the foot, such as the arch, then the pad, then the toes, then the side, then the heel, and even the ankle. Shidomaru took his time to enjoy each portion of Hinata's foot as he tickled her and Hinata blushed intensely as she laughed happily. She was unable to hide the fact that she was actually enjoying the tickling…

"Look at that red blushing face. She's having a big time there" Temari said…

"That guy is probably stimulating certain nerves on Hinata's foot that connect with other parts of her body. The soles of the feet connect with the whole body. He must be such a foot freak that he knows exactly what spots to stimulate to cause sexual arousal on his victim" Shikamaru explained…

But the worst part was yet to come: Shidomaru stuck his tongue out and started to lick Hinata's sole… really slowly… Then everyone heard Hinata not only laughing, but moaning as well! ...Yes! Moaning! A happy moaning like the moaning that girls do when they're really having it! All other people were overwhelmed (except only for Shikamaru)…

"I'm getting aroused just by looking at them!" an astonished Tenten exclaimed…

"His tickling technique is formidable! He's really on a higher level!" Lee exclaimed…

"This… This can't be…" Sakura said, almost terrified…

"Like, they completely owned us! That's like, incredible!" an astonished Ino exclaimed…

"We can't… We can't win! We can't win against them!" Sakura said as panic got the best of her. Then everyone started to get depressed and feel impotent before Shidomaru's mighty tickling and Hinata's overwhelming happiness… everyone except Naruto!

"I won't lose to you!" Naruto shouted, so loud that he scared all the birds, so loud that Shidomaru suddenly stopped tickling Hinata, a moment she used to catch her breath.

"That living piece o' crap!" Shidomaru thought furiously as he looked towards Naruto with the corner of his eye…

"Listen well, you foot-licking freak!" Naruto shouted, pointing at Shidomaru with the finger "No matter what you challenge me at! Fighting! Tickling contest! Eating contest! Video-games! Racing! Swimming! Farting! Pokémon! Whatever! I'm gonna win! For I'll be Hokage for sure! Believe it!"

Naruto's speech made all of the depressed ones rise their spirits back up…

"Na… N-Naruto-kun" Hinata said, blushing more intensely and being more aroused with Naruto's speech about being Hokage than with a thousand of Shidomaru's tickles. Of course, Shidomaru started to worry…

"Fuck you, Naruto Uzumaki! I'll never recognize you as anything higher than trash!" Shidomaru furiously answered to Naruto…

"C'mon! Just try to beat me!" Naruto said, then he started to tickle Sakura's foot for real, making her utter a real laugh…

"Naruto! What the hell are you doing? You fuckin' pervert!" Sakura angrily managed to say in-between her laugh…

"We won't lose to them, Sakura-chan! We're gonna win this tickling contest! But for that, I must tickle you with everything I got! Believe it!" Naruto answered with his Will of Fire burning…

Sakura tried to object, but the look on Naruto's eyes made her understand. "Very well… Tickle me, Naruto!" Sakura said as the look on her eyes suddenly sweetened and she blushed, totally in love with Naruto.

Naruto started tickling Sakura's foot and making her laugh and blush. Seeing them suddenly take the advantage, Lee's fighting spirit was soon burning as well…

"I won't lose to you, Naruto-kun! For the Power of Youth!" Lee swore, he then started tickling Tenten's foot with enthusiasm, although just to surpass Naruto…

"No! Lee, stop! Please!" Tenten said in-between her frantic laughter…

"That Sakura is taking the lead!" Ino angrily complained "Sai! Tickle me harder!"

Without a question Sai took out a second, smaller brush and started tickling Ino with both at once, the bigger one on the arch and the smaller one on the toes. Ino started to laugh out loud like the others…

"We give up!" Shikamaru said, lifting a hand…

"What the f…? Don't do this to me, Shikamaru!" Temari angrily said…

"This is too stupid. I'm gonna sleep" Shikamaru answered…

"Meh! Screw it all! I'm going back to the Hidden Sand village!" Temari said as she started to walk away. She did a few steps with one bare foot, then she decided to put her other shoe (still in her hand from when she took it off) back on, and continued on her way…

"Your efforts are all in vain!" Shidomaru said to Naruto and the others. "No other woman in the universe can equal the softness and delicateness of my Hinata-chan's beautiful feet!" he added as he caressed Hinata's sole delicately, causing her more tickles…

"Softness and delicateness? That's stupid! Believe it!" Naruto answered. "What do I want that for? I like strong girls like Sakura-chan who can resist the tickling!"

Having heard that, Sakura stopped laughing and tried to hold her laugh back as Naruto tickled her foot…

"I-I can be strong too!" Hinata replied. She then tried to hold her laugh back too, but the first tickling from Shidomaru made the cute ticklish Hinata instantly burst into a super-cute laugh…

After that, Sakura burst into laugh too. Naruto then stopped tickling to let her talk. "Is that all you've got, Hinata? I was able to endure much more than you!" Sakura said…

"An endurance contest, huh? I like that idea!" Ino said…

"Me too! I'll show you how strong I can be!" Tenten said, now more enthusiastic about the new rules of the contest…

That said, the two girls attempted to resist the tickling of their respective boys in order to prove themselves stronger than the rest…

"Shidomaru-kun! We're losing!" Hinata complained cutely. "Please! Tickle me with everything you've got!"

"Everything I've got?" Shidomaru replied. "Prepare to step barefoot into heaven!"

Shidomaru then performed a hand sign and concentrated…

"Ninpou! Shidomaru's Secret Ultimate Tickling Technique: Tickle Heaven!" Shidomaru shouted as if he were performing a ninjutsu. Caresses, tickles, kisses, licks, Shidomaru combined his every tickling method into one immensely tickling, huge show of affection that almost seemed as if Shidomaru were making love with Hinata's foot. It was so tickling that Hinata's beautiful face went redder than ever as she tried her very best to resist it and not to laugh, though she was also so excited by what she was feeling on her foot that she could barely hold…

"I have secret tickling techniques too!" Naruto exclaimed as he performed his typical hand sign. "Kagebunshin no Jutsu!" Then the four Narutos all tickled Sakura's foot at the same time. That was very tickling, even for Sakura, whose face also went red and could barely hold her laugh…

"We can't let Hinata and Sakura beat us! Do something, Sai!" Ino said angrily…

"I've got an idea" Sai calmly stated as he wet his brush with some ink and then painted many little bugs all over Ino's foot. "Ninpou: Chojuu Giga" Sai said with a hand sign and the little ink bugs all came to life and walked all over Ino's foot, tickling her intensely…

"Yuck!" Ino exclaimed "But it sure tickles a lot!" she added as she tried to hold her laugh back and her face went red as well…

"Lee…!" Tenten exclaimed, but Lee already knew what to do…

"The Power of Youth!" Lee shouted with his eyes ablaze. Just like in everything else, Lee doesn't come up with any tricks up his sleeve. He just puts effort and determination to solve everything. And this wasn't the exception as he just did his best to tickle Tenten's foot, achieving a tickling level as intense as that of Naruto's four clones tickling Sakura. Tenten also went red as she tried to hold her laugh back.

So, there they were. Four girls, each having her foot fiercely tickled by a boy, each feeling the tickles quickly spreading from the foot to the rest of the body, making them feel very excited, yet they had to resist and endure. The boys were using their very best tricks to tickle them: Shidomaru and his Tickle Heaven were making Hinata feel as if she had truly stepped barefoot into paradise, Naruto and his Shadow Clones making Sakura feel four times as many tickles, little ink bugs drawn by Sai were giving Ino an itching tickle besides Sai using his brushes, and Lee's effort and determination and his Power of Youth put Tenten to the ultimate test. The girls resisted the extreme tickling and endured as much as they could, but in the end all of them burst into uncontrollable laughter at exactly the same time! Laughing, enjoying, and even moaning from so much excitement! Their faces all red, covered in sweat… And they loved every second of it!

With the tickling contest over with no winners or losers, just loads and loads of fun, the time for massages had come. It was time to relax after so much nervousness and tickling. Shidomaru massaged Hinata's foot, Naruto massaged Sakura's, Sai massaged Ino and, left with no other choice, Lee massaged Tenten…

"Like… I can't believe it! We really like… just tied?" Ino said…

"Shikamaru said all four of us burst into laughter at exactly the same time" Sakura answered…

"But… I-It was fun… um… I-I think that's what counts" Hinata humbly said as she fiddled with her cute fingers…

"I wanted to win!" Sakura complained…

"Me too!" Ino complained as well…

"Well… All we can do is train ourselves and become stronger so we don't lose the next time" Tenten said…

"Like… Are we gonna train to make ourselves more resistant to tickles on the foot? That's like… crazy!" Ino said…

"Not just this… Everything! If you don't want to lose at something, keep training until you can overcome it!" Tenten explained…

"That's how to talk, Tenten!" Lee said to Tenten right before doing a thumbs-up and winking with a smile and a shining tooth…

"But there's one thing you'll never be able to reach, no matter how much you train… Hinata-chan's beauty and cuteness! My lovely Hinata-hime will always be the cutest girl in the universe!" Shidomaru exclaimed. He then kissed Hinata's beautiful foot once more, making her blush and smile at him…

"Peh! Beauty and cuteness? That's a load of bullshit!" Naruto replied "A ninja doesn't need cuteness! A ninja must be strong, like my Sakura-chan! Believe it!"

"Yeah, that's how you end up marrying a trucker instead of a girl! Just keep your mouth shut, you blonde shitbrain!" Shidomaru said to Naruto…

"Why don't you come here and dare call me a trucker?" Sakura furiously exclaimed with a clenched fist, threatening to punch Shidomaru…

"See what I'm talking about? My beautiful Hinata-chan will never do a thing like that because she's a lady!" Shidomaru boasted…

"Oh, yeah, my Hinata-chan's a lady!" Naruto mimicked Shidomaru's speech with a silly voice and effeminate manners "What kinda weakling chooses a girl just for her beauty?"

"My Hinata-chan has something that your Sakura or any other girl here will never have: Inner Beauty! My Hinata-chan is the most wonderful person! The rest of the girls here are evil!"

"Like… I'm not evil! …And I'm better than both Hinata and Sakura 'cause I'm both pretty and outgoing!" Ino exclaimed arrogantly "And when we get home, Sai's gonna paint my toenails and then blow on them!"

"Why do I have to blow on your toenails?" a confused Sai asked, not understanding the hidden meaning in it…

"So the paint dries faster, silly!" Ino answered in a flirting tone and winking, abusing Sai's innocence…

"Well… I'm going home!" Tenten said as she stood up and put her sandal back on her foot. "See you later!" she then left…

"Whenever you need another favor you can always call me, Sakura-san" Lee said with a respectful bow to Sakura before leaving too…

"Like… I gotta go too! I have some work to do at the flower shop" Ino said. "Sai! Put my shoe back on!" Ino ordered…

"What am I, your slave?" Sai replied…

"Like… It's Cinderella, you baka!" Ino exclaimed "The prince put Cinderella's lost shoe back on her foot!"

"I'm not a prince… And why can't you put your own shoe back on?" Sai said…

"You're supposed to put my shoe back on my foot 'cause I'm beautiful!" Ino replied…

"Uh… Yeah, right… you're beautiful" Sai said, reasoning that girls like to be called the opposite of what they really look. He then put Ino's shoe back on her foot and walked away with her, pretending he was listening to her nonsense when he was actually not…

"Well? When are you two going away as well?" Shidomaru said to Naruto and Sakura…

"Are you kicking us out?" an offended Naruto replied "Just try it, weakling!"

Shidomaru stood up and started performing hand signs, but Hinata got up too and took hold of him. "Shidomaru-kun! Don't fight with Naruto-kun!" she exclaimed…

"Shidomaru-san's right, Naruto. We gotta go" Sakura said, calming Naruto…

"Okay, Sakura-chan" Naruto said as he got up. Sakura put her boot back on and got up as well…

"Oh, by the way, Naruto…" Sakura said…

"What is it, Sakura-chan?" Naruto said with a big smile…

"Shannaro!" Sakura shouted furiously as she punched Naruto in the face and sent him head-first against a tree. "If you tickle me like that again, I'll kill you! You fuckin' pervert!" She then walked away…

"You're mean, Sakura-chan!" Naruto said as he got up and ran after her, leaving Hinata and Shidomaru alone at that forest clearing…

"As I said before, we're never gonna be like those two losers!" Shidomaru said to his beloved Hinata "What are we gonna play now, Hinata-chan?" he then asked…

"Um… I don't know… But not tickling! My foot has had enough tickling for today!" Hinata answered…

Shidomaru wrapped his arms around Hinata's waist "Then let's play with your beautiful head…" he said right before lick-kissing Hinata's ear "…and with your beautiful blue hair" he added, caressing Hinata's hair…

Hinata laughed "Shidomaru-kun… Why are you so sweet to me?" she then said…

"Because I love you, Hinata-chan" Shidomaru answered, he then slowly lick-kissed Hinata's red blushing cheek…

…and the two hugged each other tightly…

The end.
