Salvation

The sound of a sliding door could be heard as Soraka stepped outside her new patients room. As she ambled down the halls of the modest clinic, she suddenly stopped in silent contemplation. The daughter of the stars reflected on just how her current situation came to be.


Soraka almost sprung backwards as the stranger in front of her suddenly collapsed into a heap of groans at her feet. Reacting quickly, she carefully rolled the boy over and laid his head onto her lap. Looking down at him. Soraka couldn't help but shake her head at the pathetic state he was in. The rags which once acted as his clothes were now only good as articles to keep his modesty in place.

Knowing that he needed more aid then she would be able to provide in her current location. The celestial determined that it would be wise to move him into one of the town' near the Astral Forest. As she planned on the quickest route to reach their destination. Soraka prepared to mend some of her visitor's more serious wound's.

"I can tell just by the rampant bruising and discoloration that he has widespread bone fractures... probably throughout his body judging by the impact marks of where he landed." Deciding that the bones could wait, the healer focused most of her talents on his internal organs. Using her Astral Infusion, Soraka placed her hands over Naruto's chest as her hands began to radiate a soft albeit bright glow.

Once his breathing became less ragged, she glanced down and used her thumb to wipe the blood off his chin. "Be at peace." She whispered to him. Soraka gave the young man a compassionate smile as his once distraught face calmed into a more serene one as if he had heard her in his senseless state.

The astral mender looked into the distance through the forest. That would be the direction she would take her new ward. Gradually , she somehow got the boy to stay on her back as she started her journey to the nearest town. "If I remember correctly, it should be the town of Hoshimura... an apt name."


As Soraka ceased her recollections, she continued her gait towards the residence of the local elder. It was likely the aged woman was curious as to why the Starchild herself had decided to visit the small community. As she walked, the people she passed would stop what they were doing and bow to her. Soraka would simply give a slight nod in their direction and continue on towards her destination.

Due to her status, it wasn't uncommon for the people of her homeland to stop and admire her. Soraka was known as one of the most accomplished healers in Ionia. Though it was exceptionally rare to see the Starchild, she was renowned across every province. Due to her status, the capital sometimes sent an emissary to the Astral Forest to receive her wisdom.

"I wish they wouldn't do that..." she sighed as she thought about the capital. "I would be a lot more content if they sent people who actually needed my aid." Due to the long periods of time she spent in the forest, Soraka was generally out of touch with the current events of Ionia. Why they continually came to ask for her guidance on matters she knew little about, she couldn't fathom. However, she would never deny them any support she could offer.

Soraka cut her thoughts short as she finally reached her destination. Knocking on the sturdy entryway, she let herself in as she knew that her presence was expected. Sliding the door behind her, the healer greeted her hostess as she made her way to the table in the middle of the room.

"Ahh, the Starchild herself graces me with her presence! Tell me my Lady, has your ward's condition improved?"

Soraka regarded the elderly woman for a moment before answering, "Yes Elder Hokuto, he seems to be making a swift recovery." she responded. "Far to swift for it to be normal... even with my healing." The boy was still a long way from recovery, but at his current rate, she wouldn't be surprised if he was conscious before the end of the day.

"Please stop me if I'm out of line my Lady, but what do you plan to do with this young man? I've seen the boy and he doesn't seem to be from around these parts. At least, not with that exotic blonde hair he has and..." As the woman continued on her rant about her patients look's, Soraka silently agreed with the point the elder was making.

"Black and brown are the dominate hair color's on Ionia... not to mention his eyes. I've never seen that shade of orange, and the blue that they changed to are certainly a rarity here as well. He could be from one of the other nations, but which?" The astral maiden was interrupted from her thoughts when she noticed that her hostess was staring at her.

"Is something wrong Elder?" Hokuto inclined her head towards her guests in apology as she spoke. "Forgive me Lady Soraka if I distracted you from your thoughts but..." Soraka raised her eyebrow wondering what could be giving the elderly woman such an embarrassed look. "W-Well my Lady, it's just that you never answered my question about the boys origin's..."

A look of shame came upon Soraka's face. "No, it is I who must apologize Elder Hokuto. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I forgot about your question!" Recomposing herself, the elder was given her answer, " After he is well enough to travel, I plan to take him to him to the capital city. Hopefully somebody there will be able to help him find his way."

"O-ho! The capital, he must be of some importance if your venturing there!Regardless, I won't steal anymore of your time. If there is anything an old woman can do to aid you, you need only call on me."At this, Soraka stood and returned the elders bow. "Thank you for your hospitality Elder Hokuto. If Hoshimura is ever in need of my aid, please come find me."

Leaving the other woman to her thoughts, the celestial made her way back to the village's clinic.


"I... I gotta stop waking up like this. Yo! You up you lazy ass fox?"

After releasing a great yawn, Kurama responded to his containers outburst. "Lazy? Are you dead yet?"Sluggishly arching his neck forward, Naruto had to bite his lip in order to stop from howling in pain. "N-Nope... I'm definitely not dead!" Naruto could almost feel Kurama's smug expression. "You can thank me later."

Deciding to ignore his tenant for the moment, Naruto began to take in his surroundings. The silvery light of the moon shined through the windows, indicating how late it was. Though the inky blackness of the night enveloped most of the room, the bright light of the moon allowed him to take in most of the rooms detail's.

It was a simple room, with polished wood walls. He couldn't tell due to the bed he was laying on, but the floor was likely similar to the walls. As he looked around, he couldn't help but notice the architecture was similar to that of the more proper buildings found back home.

A small measure of hope filled Naruto's heart,"Maybe we're in another village! Kaguya's portal probably just sent us across the land..." Unfortunately, Kurama had to crush his partner's meager amount of optimism.

"Unlikely... If she did, do you think she wouldn't have tracked you down and finished you off?"

"Do... Do you think shes keeping me around for her own... purposes?" Naruto shivered at the thought as he recalled the final clash he had with the goddess.


"We're getting our collective assess kicked, boy!" Kurama growled in frustration at Naruto. The other Bijū aired their own agreements about how dire their current situation was.

"You think I don't know that dumbass? Why don't you try and figure something out?!" Before Kurama could make a scathing remark in response to their container, the twin tailed cat, Matatabi made a suggestion.

"Enough! Your arguing only makes our current situation more impossible than it already is!"

"Way to cheer for the home team!" Shukaku sarcastically stated to his sister Bijū.

As his occupants talked among themselves, Naruto couldn't help but agree with the Nibi, if only a little. His current duel with Kaguya was almost completely one-sided. After sending them to whatever empty realm they were currently in, it had been a losing battle. Fortunatly, the rabbit goddess seemed content to just defend herself. Naruto's thought's were cut short as Kaguya finally spoke to him.

"Though your current struggle is futile, I will acknowledge your strength, Uzumaki Naruto."

"Well thanks, nice to know I have a fan!" his snide remark didn't seem to faze the goddess. She merely continued on with her speech. "However, your tenacity will fail you sooner, rather than later. That is why I have a proposition for you."

Naruto merely gave a nasty grin,"This shit again? I'm not gonna give up! As long as there is a chance of victory, I WILL continue to fight!"

Surprisingly, Kaguya smiled at his proclamation, "Amazing! Truly fascinating! You see Uzumaki, what impresses me is not you physical prowess, but your spirit!"

Naruto stared at Kaguya and tried to wrap his head around her statement."Can someone tell me what the FUCK she is rambling on about?!"

"I'm just as confused as you are..."

The primordial being merely continued ranting,, " Such perseverance! Even though your resistance is meaningless you continue to pursue your ultimate goal!" Kaguya closed her eyes (not the top one) and seemed to calm down a bit ."That is why, only you are worthy..."

"What exactly are you talking about?!" He didn't know what see was up to, but she was scaring him!

The mother of chakra seemed to ignore his question and proceeded with her monologue. " Uzumaki Naruto... I want you to father my child."

The jinchūriki is question floated there, as if stuck in time.

"HEELLLL YEAH! YOU BETTER GO AND HIT THAT SHIT! SHOW HER HOW YOUR ONE 'TAIL' IS GREATER THAN HER TEN!"

"I... I don't know if I should be shocked or proud." The Kyuubi had been through many situations in his existence. With his natural cunning and intelligence, he rarely encountered a challenge he couldn't 'outfox'. But this... even he was at a loss.

"YOU SHOULD BE PROUD! Our container can make even a FUCKING GODDESS cream her panties! That loser Gaara has nothin on you! What are you waiting for? Go over there and make sure the only ending to this war is a sticky one!"

Suppressing the shiver going down his spine, Naruto gave Kaguya an incredulous look."Are you SHITTING ME! We fight for Kami knows how long, then you come and say you want me to... to... do THAT to you!" He could hardly believe what she what she was suggesting.

The rabbit goddess merely shook her head, "There is no deceit in my words Naruto. I know you wish for peace, and with my arrangement, you could achieve that. Together, you and I could usher in an unprecedented era of tranquility."

"So, If I agree to this... you'll let everyone go and we can end this war?" Though he didn't know how he felt about... procreating with her, if their was a chance for peace, he would at least consider it.

Frowning at the question, Kaguya swung her head in the negative. "No, this world is too entrenched in it's ways to be capable of salvaging. I shall take back all my chakra! Then after I give birth, we shall start anew. I will not make the same mistakes as last time." After explaining herself to him, Kaguya watched as her selected mate put his head down, his hair covering his eyes.

"Look kid, I know your gonna miss your friends an' shit... BUT COME ON! How many guys do you know can walk around and say, "You wanna know how she got her hair color? Well I..."

"Shut your mouth you degenerate Tanuki! What will your choice be, Naruto"

Naruto clenched his fist as he heard the four-tailed ape ask the question.

"No matter what, we'll all stand behind you !" Though the situation looked hopeless, Chomei tried to provide Naruto with at least a little bit of reassurance . He deserved that much from them.

"Thanks, but I already know my answer!" Looking back up, he gazed directly into Kaguya's lavender eyes."No..." Kaguyas eye's widened at his defiant response, she honestly didn't expect him to refuse her. She was offering him a way out, and he just throws it back in her face? Closing her eye's she shook her head and re-met his gaze.

"I suppose I should have expected this to be your answer,.If you wish to die with your allies, then so be it. A quick death is the only thing I have to offer you now Uzumaki, if you relent, I promise you that much." Kaguya was genuinely disappointed in his reply. It had been centuries since she had last laid with a man, and though he was still young, she could tell Uzumaki would likely be a very capable lover.

Taking his stillness as a sign of his surrender, Kaguya prepared to finish their feud once and for all. This was until she saw the man before her disappear in a plume of smoke. "When did he did have time? My Rinne Sharingan should have caught any move he made!" Re-appearing behind the goddess, Naruto made eye contact with her just as she turned around. She mentally cursed as she saw the dense sphere of swirling chakra he had in his hand.

"Why don't you just give up..." As the sphere slowly approached her, Kaguya narrowed her eyes. "...TRYING TO MAKE ME GIVE UP! Senpō :Chō Bijū Rasenshuriken !" Seeing no other possible way of escape, the goddess ripped another dimensional portal and started to slide into it. Unfortunately, she didn't account for the reaction between a heavily condensed orb of chakra and a tear in the fabric of reality. As the Rasenshuriken neared the rift, it began to expand. Noticing the reaction, Kaguya actually began to get worried.

"Fool! Stop this at once Naruto! You'll create a fissure that will swallow this whole realm!" Unfortunately, it didn't seem that he could even control the orb anymore. Dashing out of the now self-sustaining portal, she watched in morbid fascination as the tear gained a purplish hue. It continued to gradually swallow her desired mate with him struggling against the pull on the other end.

"Shit!SHIT! What do I do! Help me guys!"

"Nope! You coulda been fuckin a goddess right now! But NOOOO! You had to be the typical heroic

jackass!"

Electing To deal with the Ichibi later, the rest of the Bijū tried to come up with a solution.

"Naruto! Stop channeling our chakra! It might be the reason your stuck!"

Listening to Gyūki, the blonde cut off their link and returned to normal. It seemed to work, as he was able to pull his hand free the sphere. "Thanks Gy..." Whatever Naruto was going to say was interrupted as he was suddenly consumed by the force of the rifts pull.

Kaguya stood... floated a few meters away and watched as the tear suddenly swallowed the boy. Seconds passed as she watched the portal slowly whittle away to nothing,, the Jinchūriki along with it. Staring at where Naruto was just at, the goddess blinked as if trying to accept that what happened was real.

She sighed in irritation as she concluded that Naruto was likely gone for good. Though she didn't necessarily need the rest of the Bijū's chakra, It would have left her with the peace of mind that ALL chakra really had been returned to her. There was also the problem with the boy himself. Originally she was just going to capture and drain him of most of his chakra, leaving him just enough to live. Using her Rinne Sharingan to charm him would have been the easiest part of her plan. She had meant it when she told him he was the only one who was worthy of her.

Filing that line of thinking away for later, the Usagi no Megami returned back to her original realm in order to finish her plans.


Stuck in his memories, Naruto didn't notice as Soraka walked in with a lit candle an sat beside him. Setting the candle to the side, the healer observed the blonde as he was lost in his own thoughts. Clearing her throat to catch his attention, she watched as he jumped in fright upon finally taking note of her. She frowned at the groan of pain he released, feeling somewhat guilty for his sudden discomfort.

"Relax boy!If not for this woman, you would still be comatose for at least the next three or so days." While Naruto had been out, Kurama had been watching this same woman heal her container with skill he'd only seen from the Godaime Hokage. "I'm almost certain she means us no harm. As you said before, there isn't any malicious intent coming from her. Right now, she is our only ally in this land. For now..."

Hearing the fox's tone,Naruto knew that despite his advice, it would be wise to keep his guard up .Glancing at the lady who may have very well saved his life, he relaxed a bit.

Seeing that he calmed down, Soraka decided that now would be the best time to try and open up some type of dialogue between them. "I should probably try and speak slowly this time, perhaps he might be able to catch on to some of what I'm saying that way." Looking down at her charge, the Starchild re-introduced herself. Being extra careful to speak in a deliberate manner," Greetings, my name is Soraka. Who might you be?" Gesturing to herself when she spoke her name, she saw his eye's light up in what she hoped was recognition.

"Name... Sho-ra-ka?" Amazingly, Naruto could actually make out some of what she was saying. "Hmm... Whatever language she is speaking seems pretty close to what we know." Despite being centuries old, Kurama had never heard any over language spoken back in the Elemental Countries. The language was so common, it was never given a real name.

Slightly excited that she was getting somewhere, she continued,"Almost! So-ra-ka, what is your name?" Understanding that she was likely asking for his name with the way she pointed at him, Naruto stared up into his saviors eyes. Thinking about her request, he decided that it would only be proper to give her his name. She was the one taking care of him, after all.

"Soraka?" The woman nodded her head in acknowledgment of his correct pronunciation. "Name my... Uzumaki Naruto." the celestial smiled, happy that she finally got a name. They sat there for awhile in awkward silence. The peace was broken however has Naruto's stomach made itself known. Averting his eyes in embarrassment, he mumbled a quiet apology.

Letting out a small giggle, Soraka arose from her current position and started towards the exit. Before she left, she re-made eye contact with her ward. "I'm sorry, you must be ravenous after your ordeal! I'll be back with some food, excuse me."

Naruto watched the door close and closed his eyes. Re-appearing within in his mind-scape, he began to approach the massive fox. As he did so, he noticed eight other lights that varied in color. They hovered around the 'room' in almost a perfect circle, with Kurama at the top of the formation. Walking up to the ancient fox, he made himself known.

"Oi! Wake up you bastard fox, what happened to the others? " Opening one of his sizable eye's, Kurama looked up to the fluorescent orbs that surrounded his current position. "Due to the fact that only a portion of their chakra was sealed within you, they could not sustain their forms after we expended most of our chakra just to keep you alive." Hearing this, Naruto put his head down, clenching his teeth in frustration as he did so. "Don't go all broody on me, brat. Our current situation is no fault of your own. Had we stayed, you would likely be dead by now."

"Dead... What about the others! Do you think..." the Kyuubi closed its eye as he answered the frantic jinchūriki. "I'm sorry Naruto, they are likely all dead. Without you there, the Uchiha boy stands no real chance against Kaguya. She likely achieved whatever it is she set out to do. The only solace I can offer you is that your friends died painless deaths..."

Though he truly felt remorse for his container, Kurama was only really concerned about said container and his fellow Bijū. Letting the boy have a moment to himself, the fox laid his head back down. However, he wasn't given any chance for a nap.

"Is... Is that it? Is that supposed to make me feel better?" Naruto strode up to Kurama's eye, close enough that he could see his own reflection in the fox's pupil."They died a quick death? WHAT KINDA BULLSHIT IS THAT KURAMA? I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT HOW THEY DIED!THE POINT IS,THEY'RE ALL DEAD." Before he could continue his tirade, The Bijū decided to intervene.

"And What did you expect to happen Naruto? You knew that going into this war that failure meant death! Did you expect there to be a 'happy ending'? GROW UP!" He knew that it was a low blow, but Kurama needed Naruto to understand just how life truly worked sometimes. Looking directly at his container, he continued his speech. "Listen, and listen well boy. Occasionally, evil WILL win... people WILL suffer... and in the end, they all die."

Though his head was now resting on the ground, Kurama heard Naruto's dry, humorless laugh. "Then what's the point? Is there even a point? Sakura, Sasuke, Kakashi, Tsunade , Kirābī, Shikamaru..." Naruto was stopped by the tremendous tail that wrapped around him. Bringing the boy before him, the crimson Kitsune addressed his container once more.

"So that's it, hmm? You'll just sit here, and continue to wallow in an endless well of misery?" Nodding his head as if agreeing with himself, Kurama continued, "Very well then Naruto, if that is how you feel... then kill yourself." Dropping the shocked boy to the ground, the sentient mass of chakra closed it eyes.

"K-Kill myself... why would I do that?" He said that, but deep inside he knew some part of him was seriously considering it. If there was one thing that scared Naruto more than being alone, it was having no purpose. To wake up every day to just to realize that there was nothing... nobody waiting for you. No goals to aspire to, nothing to do...almost like, a tool. Like a rusty kunai that just sat in the darkness, forgotten about. Nobody even acknowledging , or at the very least, caring about your existence. Back when he was a child, Naruto could force the villager's to acknowledge him, even if it was only their hatred. But with everyone he knew dead, and knowing no one here in this apparently new world, what did he have to live for?

Feeling the hopelessness that permeated Naruto's mind, Kurama could only believe in the boy to pull through this. "I'm sorry that you had to learn how harsh reality can be Naruto. But, If anybody can pull themselves together after something as traumatic as this, it would...no! It WILL be you, prove yourself to us through your actions as you always have, Uzumaki Naruto!"


Making her way down the narrow hallways at a conservative pace. Soraka was still in a positive mood from the progress she had made with her patient. Though she had barely gotten his name, She was able to ascertain that whatever dialect he spoke had some similarities to her own. "By the time we reach the capital, I may be able to have him speaking properly!"

Keeping firm control of the tray she carried in her hands, Soraka slid the door to Uzumaki's room open. Closing it behind her, she re-took her position by his side and set the tray off to the side. Noticing that the blonde didn't make any kind of movement acknowledging her presence. She checked to see if he had fallen asleep. Careful not to agitate any of his numerous injuries, she rolled him over so that he was now on his back. The Starchild nearly felt her heart stop as she gazed into his eye's.

What were once a set of attentive cobalt, were now twin pools of darkness. She also caught on to the stream of tears that glistened in the light of the melted candle. "What could of happened while I was gone?! I know that no one except myself has entered this room. Perhaps he was reminded of something unpleasant..." Sliding closer to the despondent blonde, Soraka had a thoughtful expression on her face as she adjusted his head. Now on her lap, she could feel as his tears gradually soaked into her dress. Brushing his tears away with one of her thumbs, she watched as his eyes came into focus.

As his eye's re-focused, Naruto noticed that Soraka's face was directly above his. The serene smile she wore on her face was almost identical to his mothers. Thinking of his mother reminded him of his homeland, which thus in turn reminded him of his current misfortune.

Soraka was surprised when the boy suddenly buried his head deeper into her lap and started sobbing. His form shaking almost uncontrollably. The sound of his grieving carried throughout the room. Maintaining her efforts to try and alleviate his pain, she whispered to him," I know not where you come, or what adversity you've faced. However, know that I will never leave your side for as long as you need me..." Knowing that he couldn't completely understand her, Soraka felt relieved when his sobbing turned into barely audible whimpers.

As she looked up to where the windows were, the healer took in the moonlight that ambled into the room. Noticing that her soothing had worked, Soraka prepared to let the boy sleep before the he unexpectedly latched on to her . Gazing down upon him, the Starchild couldn't help but murmur to herself," Uzumaki... Just who are you?"


Strolling outside the hospice that they were still residing in, Soraka found her charge as she had generally found him the past week. He was sitting in a meditative posture, his unseeing gaze directed towards the fading sun. The boy continued to prove her initial theory that he was not normal. Though his mood seemed to be stuck in a perpetual state of gloom, his body had recovered at a rate most would consider inhuman. After the first two days, he was able to get around without any assistance. The few days following, she found him doing some simple stretches. And now, it had been a whole week since they had arrived in Hoshimura. If she hadn't witnessed it herself, the celestial being would have never guessed that the boy in front of her had collided with the earth at speeds that would have turned others into paste.

As was usual when she found him in this position, Soraka sat a couple of paces away from him. The blonde would engage her when he was ready. Studying his face, the healer was still left in the dark about the strange pigmentation that surrounded his eyes. When she inquired about it, he had merely mumbled something about being a sage. If it weren't for his freakish regeneration and the immense amount of energy should feel within him, she would have dismissed his claim.

As if on cue, the young man beside her opened his eye's and stared into her own. It never took him more than a minute to respond to her presence. Unfortunately, he ignored everyone else that approached him. "How are you, Naruto?" It had taken her three days to figure out that she had been addressing him by his last name the whole time. "I'm fine, Soraka-chan" His paltry smile wasn't convincing anyone though. "So... when are we heading to this capital you mentioned?"

That was another thing that improved drastically in the last week. Soraka found that if she spoke slowly, then he was able to pick up on most of what she was saying. Progress was sluggish, but he was gradually filling in the differences between their curiously similar languages. "In another month, he should be able to converse at a natural pace."

"We are in no rush, we can begin our journey there whenever you are ready Naruto." She didn't want the boy to feel as if it were an emergency. " I don't want to hold you up. We can go whenever you want." Soraka held in a sigh at his reply. It seemed like whatever he did was in an attempt to please her. Since waking up after that first night, he had seemingly 'latched' on to her. To her it seemed as if he was afraid of disappointing her in any way. Sensing the slight shift in her mood, "Is something wrong?! If you want to leave later, I don't mind!"

Shaking her head, the Starchild merely gave him a reassuring smile. "Nothing is wrong, we shall set out early in the morning. How does that sound?" Knowing he would agree, she grasped his hands and give them a slight squeeze. "I'm going to go bathe. There is a meal waiting for you inside. We will talk more when I return, alright?" Seeing his head incline in agreement, she started towards the exit.

Watching her leave, his eye's couldn't help but stay glued to her shapely backside. His face flushed as he remembered the incident from two nights ago.


After a long day of intense brooding, Naruto decided that it was time to freshen up. After all, just cause he felt like death, didn't mean he had to smell like it. Casually walking into the bath that the locals had seemingly made private just for Soraka, he prepared himself for a particularly long soak. Stripping down to just a towel, the morose jinchūriki made his way towards the baths. As he trudged towards his destination, Naruto couldn't help but remind himself at all the similarities that his home and this island shared.

"An astute observation, there are indeed many identical qualities that both places share." The usually quiet Kokuō made himself known.

Agreeing with it's five tailed brethren, Chōmei also commented, " Kokuō is right! This place seems to be almost like the villages from back home. Perhaps it wont be bad as you think, so cheer up!"

Allowing an almost non-existent smirk to grace his face Naruto thanked the Nanabi for its unwavering optimism. It came as a huge relief to him when the other Bijū had awoken on the second night. He hadn't really conversed with Kurama since the talk they had.

Recalling his previous thought, he really couldn't believe just how similar Ionia was to his place of origin. They shared the same architectural designs for the most part. Their military also seemed to be pretty similar, if the men he'd seen around strolling around town were any indication. Soraka had also informed him of a group of 'shadow warriors' know as the Kinkou Order.

"The way Soraka-chan described them, they sound like ninja." Naruto snorted at the thought of there being actual shinobi in this realm. Glancing up at the wooden boards that constituted the ceiling, the blonde thought about how the Ionian's were also pretty different.

"From what Soraka-chan said, every region around the island has its own 'elder' that acts as the leader of that area. They also come together to discuss what's best for the people a few times a year. They sound like how the Kage should have been..."

"Pffttt... they sound like a bunch of pussies to me! We should go to that 'Convergence of Elders' that babe was telling you about and fuck em' up! Teach em' whose the top Tanuki!"

Rolling its eye's at Shukaku's remark, the Hachibi added is own thoughts, " Hmm... Dedicating your whole life to perfection in both the physical and spiritual aspects of life seems like a worthy goal."

"I concur, living a life of perpetual harmony would be a welcomed change from the constant bloodshed that plagued our old home."

"Was it... Was it really so bad, Kokuō?"

Before the beast could reply, Naruto found himself at the door to the washroom. Sliding the door to its open position, his body froze despite the excessive humidity.

Standing before him with her back turned. Soraka was bending over to retrieve a bucket of steaming water. His eyes immediately exploring the plump behind of his self-appointed caretaker. His eyes zeroed in on a lone bead of sweat that traveled from her back. It lazily made its was down her amazingly round ass. It felt as though the drop of moisture was teasing him. As if delighting in his suspense, the lone drop stopped before completely disappearing into the rose colored lips of her womanhood.

"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR! YOU BETTER NOT FUCK THIS UP!"

With blood rushing towards both his heads, time seemed to slow down for the hormonal teen.

"Wha-What should I do?"

"FUCK HER RIGHT IN THE PUSSY!"

"But..."

"PUT HER ON A ONE WAY TRIP TO POUND TOWN!"

"I..."

"GIVE... HER... THE... D!"

Finally detecting his presence, Soraka stood to her full height and turned to face him. However, all she saw was his back. "Oh? I'm Sorry Naruto, I didn't hear you come in. Would you like to bathe with me? There is enough room in here for two."

"GIVE HER THE D! SHE'S PRACTICALLY BEGGING FOR IT!"

"N-No thanks Soraka-chan! I'll just wait till your finished, sorry!" Trying to hide his throbbing erection from her, Naruto hastily made his way back down the hall with a stiff chuckle. "I'll just wait down here..."

Staring at the now slammed door, Soraka adorned a curious expression, "Is he alright? Perhaps public baths are not accepted where he's from?" Shrugging her shoulders, the celestial continued her cleansing.


"Your 0-2 right now! If you continue like this, you'll be worse than Gaara!"

Naruto paused in his thought's, "What are you talking about?"

"WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT! You've missed out... not once... but twice on punching your V card! Now, I'll let you slide on the first one. You shouldn't stick your dick in crazy unless you have a guaranteed escape! But the second chick was practically asking for your baby gravy!" The monstrous raccoon-dog just couldn't figure out what the hell was wrong with his container.

"You think I'm a virgin?" The blonde rose an eyebrow in confusion.

"Well... duh. With your ugly ass jumpsuit and annoying attitude, who would want to bounce on your meat pole?"

Gritting in teeth in indignation, Naruto calmed himself as he prepared to shut the Ichibi down. "Well jackass I'll have you know that I've done it 3 times already!"

Within the mind-scape, Shukaku crossed his arms in disbelief. "No way! Your a lying sack a shit!"

"Actually, what the boy says is true. I know that's he mated with a few woman before... as surprising as that may be."

"Tch... Like I'd believe you gayrama! I want names!"

At this Naruto merely shrugged his shoulders. "I guess... There was Shion, Amaru, Shizuka..."

"Hmm... As expected of MY container. Your not as hopeless as I thought, with a little more work..." Shukaku started muttering to itself. Something about plans to turn his container into a player.

Ignoring the sand constructs rambling..Naruto sat himself before the table of food that Soraka had left for him.

Thinking about the woman in question, he felt his cheeks grow hot. The young shinobi didn't know if there was such thing as a perfect woman. But so far, she was proving her self to be just that. Her gentle,calm demeanor was almost saint like. She carried an air of compassion around her and wouldn't hesitate to sooth someone should they need it. She was also really smart, educating him on how the government and people of Ionia operated.

His mind went into a haze as he thought about her voluptuous body. He could confirm that the tattoos that ran along her arms went a lot further than he initially thought. All in all, Naruto figured that his guardian was what most guys wanted in a woman.

A feminine laugh pulled him from his thoughts. "Sounds like you really have the hots for your sexy nurse... "

Blushing at the description Matatabi gave, Naruto responded to her teasing, "Well... she DID save my life. As long as I can stay by her side, that's enough for me..." As long as he had someone here that acknowledged him, he would be able to manage.

Glancing down at the now empty plate of food before him. The blonde didn't even try to fight it as darkness consumed his vision.


Gasping as he woke up, Naruto immediately noticed a weight on his chest. His eye's finally adjusting to the dark, He could make out Soraka's naked form straddling him. Before he could speak, she placed a delicate finger over his lips.

"Shhh..." She whispered as her face hovered over his. Her voice echoing across the room. "Where am I needed?" As if answering her question, Naruto could feel his arousal poking into her firm butt. Giving him a sensual grin, she turned her body so that her moist lips were now inches away from his face. He couldn't see what she was doing, but could feel as she released his now painful erection from the confines of his pants.

Giving the pulsating member a few strokes, she spoke before wrapping her lips around his cock. "This... is my path."

On the other end, Naruto groaned as he felt the Starchild push him deeper into her mouth. What she couldn't take, she caressed with her graceful hands. While she continued her ministrations, he stared up at the dripping cavern before his face. Licking his lips, he figured it would be rude if he didn't return the favor. Brushing over her outer lips with his tongue, he could hear and feel as his partner hummed in gratitude.

As they continued, Naruto noticed that the usually boisterous Tanuki was being oddly silent. Pushing that thought to the back of his mind, Naruto stuck his tongue deeper into Soraka's now soaked entrance. Hearing her whine as he picked up the pace, he decided to finish her off. Remembering the advice his late sensei had given him, Naruto pulled his tongue out of her drenched core and liked her juices off his lips. Seeing the round nub of highly sensitive flesh, his tongue stretched towards it.

Before he could re-engage, he grunted as his partner seemed to picking up the pace. As if she sensed that he was watching her, Soraka looked over her shoulder at him. Giving the blonde an alluring smile. "Never waste a breath!"Before he could even responded, Soraka proceeded to take almost his entire length down her throat.

"How the hell is she doing that... O-oh!" While she worked on the last couple of inches, one of her hands started to massage his sack.

"O-Oh Kami! S-Soraka-chan I... I'm...!" Whatever he was going to say died in his throat as he finally came. He could fell the celestial trying swallow all that he had to offer, but pulled back after a couple of gulps. Letting the rest land on face, she simply continued to stroke him and lap up any excess that shot out.

As his vision finally cleared, he saw his temporary lover sit back on her knee's. Turning to face him, he could see the overflow of his climax drip onto her breasts. Sensually licking some off her finger's, she re-adjusted her position so that his member was pressed into the crevice of her ass.

Reaching behind her, she lifted her hips and grabbed his hard-on. Feeling his heart starting to beat faster, he heard Soraka release a lewd moan as she impaled herself on him. Rotating her hips several times, Naruto bit his lip at her tightness.

"Gracefully..."

Leaning down towards her lovers face, she captured his lips in a searing kiss. He eyes widened as he felt her tongue invade his mouth. Giggling as she saw the surprised look on his face, she brought her rose colored nipple to his mouth. Obeying her silent command, he started to nibble on it. Letting out a content sigh, Soraka looked back and started to raise her hips.

Grunting as he felt her slam down on him, Naruto continued his suckling. He was startled when his partner let out a particularly loud moan. It was after that when he began to taste something. Pulling her breast from his mouth, he rolled his tongue around his mouth to test flavor. Not satisfied, he latched back on to her abused nipple and continued his suction. Feeling the syrupy substance fill his mouth again, the blonde redoubled his suckling efforts.

"Soraka-chan has milk? I don't know why but that's really hot! But why does it taste like bananas?"

Fueled by the new sensation, the celestial picked up the pace of her r. Making sure to increase her already vice-like grip on Naruto's member. Feeling her clamp down on him, Naruto felt himself about to blow his load.

"A-Already! I can't pull out with her on top like this!"

For the second time that night, the jinchūriki suffered a temporary bout of blindness. He could feel Soraka practically milking him as his seed continued to fill her eager womb. Waiting for him to stop shooting his load, the healer finally let go of his head. Giving him one last kiss, she sat back on her knees. Looking down at where they were still connected , she gave her lover a disappointed look.

"Do you always fight so poorly?"

Hearing her comment, Naruto tried to figure out what had went wrong. "How did she make me cum so fast?! Its always been the other way around... Her pussy was super tight though, maybe its some kind of healing move?"

As he thought about his caretakers sexual prowess, he didn't see her begin to concentrate. Seeing a glowing light, he felt his mouth drop. Soraka seemed to be channeling her power... through her vagina.

Almost instantly, he felt his 'weapon' stand at attention.

"I woulda been good to go again anyways... but that works too, I guess."

Satisfied with her work, Soraka began to take a new position. This time sitting so she was on her feet instead of her knees. Rubbing the head of his cock against her swelling lips, she once again lowered herself on him. Naruto looked up into her eyes as she slowly licked her lips.

"By the power of the stars!"

Placing her hands on his chest for stability, the celestial started to bounce her ass at a rapid pace. The sounds of slapping flesh filled the room as Soraka had her way with her young lover. Feeling the heat of his semen filling her again. The Starchild shuddered at the warmth but kept up her frantic pace. After a considerable amount of time, she finally looked to be approaching her own end. Below her, Naruto broke out of his trance as he noticed that she started to glow.

As her orgasm built up, Soraka's tattoos started to radiate a pale blue light. Naruto has to grab her hips as her bouncing had actually started to hurt. As he tried to slow her down, the woman breathing began to take on a raspy quality. Finally, the room was bathed in light as the Starchild achieved her goal.

"Star's Hear Me!"

Collapsing on her lover, she seemed to fall unconscious. The blonde wasn't faring any better. It was times like this he was thankful to his parents for stuffing Kurama I him.

"That was amazing... but you almost broke me Soraka-chan!"

Deciding that it best to go back to sleep, the teen let his eyelids close. Before they completely fell however, he felt Soraka lift herself off his chest. Paying attention to her movements, he saw as she began to raise her hips. Laying back and staring at the ceiling, he sighed as he felt her velvety walls release him. With an audible pop, he felt his member land against his stomach. Arching his head forward, he wanted to see the damage.

Looking down at himself, Naruto froze as he took in the sight of his penis. He expected it to be red, maybe a little bit raw. But what he saw in front of him made his world stop.

"Is that..."

Before he could finish, he heard Soraka giggle. Looking up, he saw her amused expression as if there was some joke he wasn't aware of.

"Yes! That was a banana!" Another round of giggles left her. "Nobody expects the banana!".
