Naruto's Life Redux Ch. II Change of Plans
Alright we're back with another installment of Naruto's Life Redux. Honestly I have no idea what direction this will go, all I know is it won't follow the path the original story went. We don't talk about that story here. So why don't we just hop in this shit.
"Hey, you better not die dummy, you've got to help me raise our kids ya know." Temari said smirking at Naruto.
"Jeez after all this time you still have no faith in me huh?" Naruto replied back smiling.
"You tend to make it hard to." Temari quickly remarked
"No I think you make it hard." Naruto replied before turning to face the threat.
"Baka."
"Love you too Tema-chan." Naruto replied with a small loving smile barely looking back out the corner of his eye.
"Just come back safe to me." She whispered to herself.
"I always have." And just like that Naruto disappeared.
Normal Timeline
"Now, on to another topic. The wedding is going to be postponed."
"WHAT!"
Everyone in the noodle booth was surprised at Temari's outburst.
"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN THE WEDDING IS POSTPONNED!? DID I TRAVEL HERE FOR NOTHING!?"
"Pretty mu- ugh!" Jiraiya started before Tsunade swiftly elbowed him.
"Unfortunately the contract must be approved by 2 Kages and seeing as we're the only one with a Kage in this arrangement we can't proceed until the Sand has appointed a new Kazekage, not even a stand in can sign off. It must be an official Kazekage, so yes and no to your question." Tsunade said without missing a beat
"I can't believe this is happening to me. First I'm told to pack my things to leave my home to get married to someone I don't really know, settle in and try to adjust to a new life, and now I'm being told those plans have to wait. Things couldn't get worse."
"Actually they could." Jiraiya piped in.
"How's that?" Temari asked
"Well Naruto could end up dead before the wedding and that would screw everything up." Jiraiya replied
"Jiraiya!" Tsunade yelled
"Well it would get me out of this situation." Temari mumbled
"What was that?" Tsunade asked sharply.
"Alright, now let's calm down for a second. We need to remember that Temari is being put in a situation she never asked for. Yes, she's a Kage
s child but she didn't sign up for that life, so let's take it easy on her. Also she's only 18 and I'm sure she'd rather take her time to find romance instead of it being shoved down her throat and forced to accept it." Kakashi said while finishing another bowl of noodles.
"That is true." Iruka added
Temari let out a small breath she didn't know she was holding and cracked a small smile at Kakashi and Iruka who both just nodded discretely.
*Sigh* "You're right Kakashi and I'm sorry Temari. Just remember the type of relationship I have with the boy, he's like family to me." Tsunade said
"I understand Lady Tsunade, and I promise to everyone I'll do what I can to keep him happy. *Sigh* So the big day is being put off, what's the plan until w- Suna finds the next Kazekage?"
"Well your sensei talked with Jiraiya and I and we've decided that the best way would require you to be the first shinobi who lives in two villages and works for that village while staying there. So you'll stay in the Leaf for 2 months then live in the Sand for 2 months and keep switching. Baki wanted to make sure you can come home and relax for a good amount but still have plenty of time to get adjusted to life here in the Leaf." Tsunade answered
"That actually sounds pretty nice. So I guess I'll start living here for 2 months then?"
"It's up to you cause either way you'll be switching." Tsunade replied
"Can I take some time to think about it?" Temari asked
"Of course, when you've got your answer you can come let me know." Tsunade said before getting up and walking out followed by everyone else. Temari stayed for a while to think alone before she payed and left to go back to the house that she'll end up living in and raising a family in.
*Inhale* *Exhale* "Here goes something." She said pushing the gate open since it was left cracked open. She slowly walked through the front door and mentally tried to come to terms with things changing once again. "Naruto?" She called out but got nothing in return.
"Where the hell is he?" She asked looking around before moving around the house to try and find him.
"Naruto, where are you?" "Jeez where the hell could he be?" She kept asking to no one in particular before something caught her attention out of the corner of her eye.
Temari went out back to see a miniature desert in the backyard with Naruto giving her a smile. "Whatcha think?"
Temari could only do one thing and that was cry tears of happiness.
"Did I do something wrong?" Naruto asked
Temari just shook her head as she walked up to Naruto and gave him hug and this completely took him by surprise and he didn't really know how to react so he just did what instinct told him to and he hugged Temari back and buried his face in her neck. "Thank you Naruto." She sobbed out with a smile on her face. "This means so much to me, thank you." She said before letting go and wiping her tears away and still smiling at him.
"How'd you get so much sand here? I don't remember seeing any vendors."
"Gaara." Naruto sheepishly replied
"Of course. Well thank you again Naruto." Temari said giving him a quick kiss on the cheek making him blush.
"Come inside, we need to chat real quick." Temari said still smiling.
"Alright, it's nothing bad right?"
"Depends how you see it." She replied taking his hand and leading him inside.
They both sat at the dining table each with a glass of water and began the chat as Temari called it.
"So apparently for us to get married 2 Kages must sign off for it to become a legal marriage, but there's a problem with that." Temari started, "Since Suna has no Kage for now the marriage has to be put on hold until the Fifth Kazekage is named, once that happens Lady Tsunade and the Kazekage will convene and figure out a date that works. I'm sure we'll have input on the date too, but that's beside the point."
"So, what does that make us then?"
For once Temari had no idea what to say, technically they're engaged but that was because of an impending marriage; now that their marriage is being put off until further notice she doesn't really know what to make of their relationship.
"Well, why don't we just take things in our own hands." Temari said
"What do you mean?"
"Well let's not let some agreement determine what our relationship is. I know we're both doing this for the sake of our village but we might as well do things on our terms instead of letting others determine things for us." Temari explained
"So does that mean we're dating?" Naruto asked
"Well you haven't asked me out or anything so I'd say not quite yet." Temari said giving him a teasing smile.
Naruto blushed at what Temari was insinuating and began fumbling through his words.
"So uh, w-would uh w-would you want to…uh you know, go out s-sometime or something?"
'For someone who took on Gaara with no fear and the confidence of the fiercest beast, he's so damn adorable when he has no idea what he's doing.' The Sand ninja thought internally smiling.
"I think I can find time in my schedule, but only on one condition. Absolutely NO RAMEN!"
"Alright, fine. There's a pretty good restaurant in town, but I doubt they'll let us in."
"And why's that?" She asked
Naruto just lifted up his jacket and shirt and channeled some chakra until his seal appeared.
"Oh right, furball." Temari said
"I'll see what I can do though." Naruto said
"Good, well I'm gonna go take a shower and head to sleep." Temari said turning and walking away with a little extra sway in her steps.
'Why the hell is she walking like that?'
"Because of you idiot. She may not be in love with you, but she's gonna at least give you a shot at things." Kurama replied
'She is?' The jinchuriki asked
"Yes, now her swaying her hips is to get your attention, because she knows that men love curves and she has curves to spare so she's gonna show off. She didn't ask for this situation but she's trying to enjoy it." Kurama said
'Well I'll be.' He thought watching her walk upstairs.
"Hey, Naruto." Temari called from the top of the staircase.
"Yeah? Everything ok?"
"Which bathroom can I use?" She asked
This honestly confused Naruto since to him he just figured she'd use the master bathroom since they are gonna be sharing this house the question was confusing to him.
"Um, it doesn't really matter to me. This is your house to so whatever you feel is right is ok with me. If you wanna get everything set up in the master bathroom you're more than welcome to." He replied
"Ok, thanks." She replied as she went down the hall thinking about her options.
'I guess the obvious thing to do would be to take the master bathroom, I mean it's not called the master bathroom for nothing; but on the other hand I just got here and I don't know if it'd be appropriate for me to use that bathroom this early in our relationship. UGHHH, fuck me.' She thought as she came to her conclusion.
She settled on taking one of the guest bathrooms since she isn't comfortable yet on being here and feeling like a guest still she fell into that role.
She was surprised to find out that the guest shower she used had no hot water, so that shower was very quick and not very helpful to relaxing her nerves.
Once Temari was finished she got dressed in a purple sleep tank that went to her mid thighs and paired it with black sweatpants that were a bit baggy and strolled downstairs to let Naruto know about the water situation.
"Hey Naruto, you might want to check the water heater."
"Why what's u-uuuuuuhhhhhhh. What're you, uh, what're you wearing Temari?" He asked slaw jacked
"My pajamas. I bought them here since the tailors know the climate here better than the ones back home."
"Right." Naruto said dragging out the 'R'.
"Anyways I was asking if you could look into an issue with the water heater because my shower was freezing cold."
"Uh, sure I can look into it, but I can't guarantee that I can fix it." He said
"Why not?"
"Well, I don't know anything about water heaters, actually I don't know anyone in the village who does." Naruto said trying to think of anyone who would have a clue.
"Why don't we check to make sure everything else is cold before I touch anything." Naruto offered to which Temari nodded and after 35 minutes of checking every sink, tub and shower except the master bathroom's they found that only freezing cold water was coming out.
"Well time to check out the master bath." Naruto said
"Then let's get right to it." Temari replied kinda liking spending time figuring something out with the man who's gonna end up marrying her. Again she didn't ask for this but she may as well play nice and at least give him a fair chance before raising hell.
After a couple minutes they were surprised to find that the master bathroom was the only room with hot water coming in.
"Umm, that's not supposed to happen right?" Naruto asked
"No, definitely not. Where's the water heater? You did memorize this place right?"
"Yeah, it should be in the basement with the breaker box."
"Well let's figure this thing out." Temari said walking out and downstairs to find the basement. "So which door is it?" She asked
"This one over here." Naruto answered leading her off to a door away from where everything really is. They went down the steps with Temari leading the way down and with their combined weight and how old the stairs were they broke some of the steps…and then the entire stairway fell after they got off in time.
"You know what I'm gonna say right?" Temari asked looking at the broken staircase.
"Yeah, it'll be the first thing on the checklist to do this week." Naruto answered also looking at their exit.
They both turned around to see that there wasn't one water heater but two, and one clearly stating that it only supported the master bathroom. "Well I'll be damned, two heaters." Naruto said and he walked up to the other heater and put the back of his hand against it and found that it too was also cold.
"Well the heater's cold which makes sense and that's a good thing." Naruto said
"Why's it a good thing? It's not functioning the way it should be." Temari replied
"It's good because that means we don't have a stupid heater that's hot but only putting out cold water." Naruto said
"Oh, I see what you're getting at. So once we find an expert it won't be too much of a hassle to fix the thing since it isn't acting strange other than not putting out hot water."
"Correct, so I'll ask Baa-chan if she knows anyone in town who can help out and we'll get it fixed, but I guess for now you'll just have to use the master bathroom, unless you like freezing cold showers and stuff." Naruto said walking back to the staircase like it was still there.
'Well lady luck just loves bending me over and fucking me huh?' Temari thought before turning to see Naruto walk to the staircase without a care in the world.
"You know the stairs aren't there right?" She asked and Naruto froze in his tracks since it may have slipped his mind with the water heater taking priority at the moment. "Uh nope, I remember." He said trying to seem normal but Temari could see through it.
"Sure, guess that's why you just walked up to it like it's still there huh dummy." She teased
"I'M NOT A DUMMY!" Naruto snapped back
"It's a joke Naruto relax. Hehe, for someone who's pulled pranks their whole life I'm surprised you didn't see the humor in my comment." She said very pleased being able to out-Naruto Naruto.
"Whatever." He grumbled not liking someone outdoing him in his field of expertise.
"Kit sweep her off her feet and jump out of the basement." Kurama piped in
'Why?'
"Just do it idiot, you don't have time to waste talking."
'That's a little weird though isn't it?'
"Why are you still here talking to me!? GOOOO!" Kurama roared
'Alright alright I'm going.' But Naruto turned to find Temari already jumping out of the basement and walking towards the rest of the house.
'Damn.'
"Idiot."
"Shut up!"
"Did you say something to me?" Temari asked from the kitchen.
"No, it was nothing." Naruto replied as he jumped out and began grumbling to himself, "Stupid fox almost getting me in trouble."
"Not my fault you can't control your damn mouth."
'I'm gonna kill you one day you know.'
"Ha, I'd like to see you try." Kurama roared laughing before disconnecting the link.
"Dumb fox." Naruto muttered as he walked into the kitchen to see Temari salivating over what Naruto cooked. "Oh looks like you found my surprise." Naruto said
"Surprise? Are you throwing a party I don't know about?" She asked taking her eyes away from the food but the memory stayed and went straight to her stomach which announced its presence.
"No, I don't really do parties. I made this for you. It's your first night here and I figured I'd cook something up nice for you. I found an old cookbook on Suna delicacies and ones from here that I know about and cooked them up."
Temari was shocked at how sweet this young man was. All she's really seen was this goofy idiot, who can become very serious during battle and now she's seeing this softer, more thoughtful side to him.
"Naruto…I don't know what to say."
"Well for starters you can tell me how the food is. This is the first time I've cooked stuff like this." Naruto said getting the plates to the table and it was full meal that left both blondes satisfied.
'Damn, I'm gonna get fat if he cooks like this all the time. I need to learn this stuff before going back home so Gaara and Kankurō will actually eat something I make.' Temari thought
"So how was it?" Naruto asked breaking her thought process.
"Fantastic, I've never had food this satisfying. Thank you Naruto." She replied with a soft smile on her face.
"Well that's great news. I'll have to teach you how to cook these so when I'm on missions and you're home you don't have to buy take out all the time."
'I still need to tell him about me traveling every two months. Fuck, how do I break it to him?'
"Hey Naruto?" Temari asked trying to get his attention.
"What's up?" He replied as he washed the dishes.
"There's something I still need to tell you about our wedding arrangement and it being put off." Temari said. This made Naruto stop doing the dishes and come back to the table.
"Look, Lady Tsunade and Baki-sensei came to the agreement that I'll live here for 2 months then live in Suna for 2 months and keep rotating between villages until a Kazekage is appointed." Temari started
"So you won't always see me like you may have originally been told." She continued and stopped to see how Naruto as taking this and she couldn't really get a read on Naruto.
All he did was breathe out before collecting himself and put up a quick and small smile, this one was fake, but why? Why was he giving her a fake smile?
"It's ok. I figured you'd want to get away from me and this situation."
"What?"
"I know you don't want to be in this situation and with it being me and my condition or whatever you want to call it, I know it isn't ideal for you. You've been forced to a foreign land to marry some guy you don't know, start a family, protect a new village you didn't grow up in and pretend everything's alright. I get it. You don't have to sugarcoat it and act like you're okay with everything." Naruto said going back to finishing the dishes leaving Temari shocked at what he said.
'What the actual fuck was that!?' Temari thought to herself as this conversation turned in a direction that Temari didn't even know existed. 'Whatever I'm too tired for this shit.' She said getting up but not before having the last word, "Thanks for the meal anyways, it was great, jackass." And with that she stormed off to one of the guest bedrooms and slammed the door shut and her mind went into overdrive trying to analyze what the hell just happened.
Unbeknownst to either of the blondes a tall white haired man walked in and heard the last words Temari hung on Naruto.
*Whistle noise* "Already going at each other huh? And not in the good way. You might want to make sure that no one outside the house catches wind of this or things could get ugly politically." Jiraiya said walking in the kitchen after Temari slammed her door.
"What do you pervy-sage?" Naruto asked stopping his work on cleaning the dishes.
"Well I was going to check in on you and it seems like I came at a good time too." He said, "Wanna talk about it?" The sage offered as Naruto nodded and walked outside and sat on the grass portion of the backyard.
Jiraiya plopped down next to him and sighed before laying back and looking at the stars. "They sure are beautiful huh?" He said
Naruto didn't reply at first since he didn't know what Jiraiya was talking about until he saw where the sage was gazing. "Yeah, I guess they are." The blonde replied wrapping his arms around his shins and tucking his chin into his knees.
"So what happened before I came?" The older man asked
"Well I cooked dinner for her, she liked it and then afterwards she told me she'd be rotating where she lives every 2 months."
"Ah, so you finally know. The decision was only made today so she pretty much just found out today too. So what's the real problem? I know you're not in a love-at-first-sight situation so I know her leaving every 2 months isn't bumming you out."
"It just seems like she's only doing this to get away from me. It's no different than the beat who would attack me when I was younger. Nobody ever really wants to stay in my life, you and baa-chan have exceeded the normal lifespan of a shinobi and will probably be leaving me soon enough-" Naruto started before a fist collided into his ribs sending him across the yard. A stone-faced Jiraiya still had his fist exactly where he made contact with the jinchuriki.
"What the hell was that for!" Naruto yelled
"Do you honestly think I'd purposely leave your life, or even Tsunade. How little do you think of me, yes I wasn't there for you all the time when I should have been Naruto, I know that and have come to terms with not being able to go back and fix things but I'm here now and I'm not going to leave you. You're the closest thing Tsunade-chan and I have to a son and she and I aren't married and you and I aren't related but we still consider each other and you as family!" Jiraiya said getting up and standing over Naruto.
"You gotta look at both sides Naruto. She was forced-" "I know! I get it alright, she was forced into this situation, but so was I!" Naruto retorted
"So then why are you acting like such a jackass!" Jiraiya snapped back, "If you know that she's in the same boat as you then have some compassion for the young lady, she left her home for crying out loud. She's swallowing her pride of being a Sand shinobi and trying her best to come to terms of no longer being a full Sand shinobi. You've got to cut her some slack and stop thinking that everyone that comes into your life is going to hurt you or leave you Naruto. When I had a meeting with her, and Tsunade, Kakashi, Iruka, Teuchi and Ayame where there I saw what type of person she was kid. She's not the most emotional person so she isn't going to just show you everything, she's also a warrior who's been in this business longer than you have and is all of a sudden being forced to switch the team she plays for. No she definitely doesn't want to be in this situation but she's at least going to give it a shot and she's gonna show it in her own way."
Naruto just stayed on the ground listening to the man he saw as a father figure. "I'm sure she'd rather go through life and fall in love the way you're 'supposed' to, but that's not the hand she was dealt and she's trying her hardest to come to terms with that and adjust. You need to do the same. Your infatuation with pinky needs to die right now. You're an engaged man set to marry what most people in the Hidden Sand refer to as their Princess. Look all I'm saying is if you just trust her and open up to her, give a chance to prove herself she WILL make sure you're happy and have nothing to fear anymore. You just have to give your trust to her and wait to see what she does with it, because she's doing the same thing and based on what I heard coming in you're not off to a good start. I'm sure that lazy classmate of yours, Shikamaru is looking better than you right now. Promise me you'll give her a chance." Jiraiya said
Naruto took everything in and decided that doing what his mentor said would probably be the best thing. "Fine, I promise I'll give her a real chance." Naruto said
"Good, now get some rest, you've got an interesting couple days ahead of you." Jiraiya said as he and Naruto clasped forearms and lifted up the blonde.
"Why do you say that?" He asked to Jiraiya who began walking inside to leave.
"Just trust me when I say women don't forget shit like this." And just like that Jiraiya was gone.
Naruto dusted himself off and went back inside and upstairs thinking about everything Jiraiya told him. He stopped once he came to Temari's door and knocked softly on it to see if she was awake but there was no response.
He really didn't want to do what he was about to but he quietly and slowly opened the door and stepped in and the only sound he heard was the soft breathing of Temari. Naruto walked up to the Sand princess to see if she was awake and just ignoring him but seeing the tear stains on her cheeks and pillow told him she cried herself to sleep.
'Guess she really doesn't like showing her emotions all that much.'
Naruto turned and left the room closing the door quietly so he didn't wake her up but unknown to him she was awake and only pretended to be asleep since she didn't want to face him like this and once she heard the doors to the master bedroom close she began quietly sobbing again.
It took a while for Naruto to sleep but eventually he fell into a slumber still thinking about what the perverted sage said to him.
Next Morning
Naruto woke up early as usual and began making some breakfast and Temari eventually woke up and made her way downstairs after showering and getting dressed. She still didn't know how to feel about what happened last night and she didn't get much sleep so she woke up pretty cranky to say the least.
Once she came downstairs she saw Naruto with his back to her and she was mentally debating about whether she wanted to talk to him about last night or whether she just wanted to try and forget about it and move on with the mission at hand. After a few seconds she came to her conclusion…on with the mission. She turned on her heel and started to walk out and try to find food elsewhere, she just didn't want to talk to Naruto after last night.
Naruto heard her footsteps and tried to call out her name but she was out the door and gone before he could say anything important. All he got in response was the door closing followed by the gate shutting.
"Damn, pervy-sage was right. I've got a long day ahead of me."
With Temari
Temari really didn't know where she was going, she just knew she didn't want to be in that house she's supposed to call home. After wandering around the village for a couple hours she ended up walking right by the Hokage Tower and decided to go in and tell Tsunade of her decision.
After walking the winding halls leading to the most powerful ninja in the village she came face to face with the door leading into the Hokage's office. Temari knocked on the and was soon given permission to enter.
Once the young blond stepped inside Tsunade was a little surprised to see her this early in the day. "I'm surprised you're here this early in the morning. Is everything okay?" Tsunade asked
"I think I'd like to start my two month stay back home in Suna." Temari said looking the Hokage in the eyes.
Tsunade saw something else in her eyes and put down everything and leaned back into her chair. "Alright what did that idiot do?"
"I'm sorry?" Temari replied confused
"Naruto, the idiot, what did he do or say to you?" The busty blond asked now crossing her arms under her breasts.
Temari immediately diverted her gaze not wanting to recall the events. Tsunade let out a sigh but sitting up in her chair and gesturing for the other blond to have a seat. Temari wasn't going to refuse the gesture and sat down and stayed silent for a while before she decided to divulge the information.
"Last night I told Naruto what I was told at the ramen stand and he thinks that somehow I'm using this as a way to get away from him because of his condition or whatever. He says he understands that I'm being forced into something that's not of my choosing: being forced to leave my home country, pledge my allegiance to another, marry a stranger, start a family and what not. This was all after he cooked an amazing dinner and was winning points in my book and then all of sudden he does a 180 and pretty much makes me feel like shit. So afterwards I thanked him for the meal and called him a jackass and cried myself to sleep, woke up this morning and wondered around the village before ending up here." Temari explained
The only thing Tsunade could do was rub her temples in frustration since this was definitely not the way she wanted to start her morning.
"Well I can't say I'm entirely surprised. This is one of those things where you kinda have to take that punch on the chin and still be there for him. In his own way he's frustrated about the situation which I'm sure he hasn't openly said. Did you know that Naruto, as far as I know, has a crush on Sakura?" Tsunade replied
"No I didn't know he had a crush on pinky."
"Well he does, and I think he's frustrated that he won't get the chance to chase after what he wants in the realm of love like everyone else in the village can. I think deep down he knows it's the same for you, but he's just so focused on him right now because that's all he's had, that he doesn't really know what he's supposed to do, how he's supposed to process information and go about it. You got to remember that boys don't mature as fast as us ladies and with your upbringing you matured very quickly, whereas he didn't and he still has some room to grow." Tsunade explained. "Just don't take everything personal, he's got a lot more going through his head than I'm sure he's letting on and definitely more than you realize. Just be patient with him. That's really the only advice I can give you. Whenever he pisses you off, cause I know he will, just try and restrain yourself and figure out why he said or did something to upset you. And of course like you've already heard just be there for him. The best way you can start to show trust is to give it away and open yourself up to him. Maybe you two need to just sit down and talk. It doesn't have to be the fake sunny day bullshit. Talk about your fears, what you want out of life, where you'd like to see this marriage go, just try to have a very deep conversation with him and see what happens." Tsunade finished
"Thank you lady Tsunade." Temari said standing up and bowing.
Temari turned to leave but before she could walk out Tsunade called out to her again. "Temari, one last thing."
"Yes?"
"If you ever need to talk to someone about boys, or stuff like this feel free to walk on in and visit me at my home okay? I know you don't like this situation and I'll do my best as a Hokage to try and make things go as smooth as they can for you okay."
"That's very generous of you Lady Tsunade, thank you for your support and help. It means a lot to know that you're in my corner." Temari replied bowing once more before leaving to try and talk things out with Naruto but by the time she returned to her new home he was nowhere.
She walked inside to the kitchen to see the breakfast he had made was still out and a plate with her portion was still sitting on the table waiting for her. There was also a note that her fiancé wrote for her.
'So he wants to talk things out and apologize huh.' She thought before she sat down thinking about how things would play out and what she'd like to say while she ate her meal.
'I really got my work cut out for me huh.'
Temari spent the rest of the day exploring the village since her family left shortly after Temari was told of the 2 month exchange program she'd be doing. While roaming around she kept noticing some people glaring at her and she knew why but she wasn't going to give them the time of day or attention they wanted.
After finally getting around the whole village she decided to go to the desert in the backyard and restart her training. Having the sand beneath her feet made her feel like she was training back home. Deep down she knew it wasn't true but she let herself feel like for the time being before coming back to reality. When she finished it was sundown and she was covered in sweat, something she isn't really used to since the dry air in the desert pretty much evaporated their sweat. The humid air in Konoha would definitely be something she'd have to get used to.
After taking a shower outside she wondered how she wanted to go about talking with Naruto. As her mind wandered to the how part she figured out the where part while looking at the onsen. After cleaning off Temari headed in to change into a two piece black bikini that showed off her curves and bust in the most complementary way possible. She came back out and began relaxing in the onsen out back.
Naruto came home a little after she began winding down in the onsen and went upstairs to shower before finding food for dinner. "Temari you home?" Naruto called out but got no response. "Is she not here?" He asked as he searched all upstairs and found nothing. He ended up seeing the steam coming up from the onsen out back and saw that she was relaxing there. Naruto changed into swim trunk and headed out back.
"Hey I was looking for you. Mind if I join?" He asked
"Sure, I was actually hoping to talk with you so this is perfect." Temari replied turning to face him and watching him join her in the warm water.
There was an awkward silence both wanting to apologize but not knowing the right way.
"I'm sorry." They both started before blushing and clamping up.
"Temari I'm sorry about how I reacted to the news you told me last night. I was completely in the wrong. You have every right to be mad and keep your decision about starting your 2 month rotation. All of this shit just hit me like a meteor, I thought I could be like a normal person and find love but here comes political bullshit to ruin the plans. I've just never had a normal life and I thought finding love could be the one thing in my life that could be normal but nope." Naruto said
"I hear you on that note. I think that's one thing we both got in common. I grew up as a Kage's child so everyone feared me and on top of that being Gaara's sister doesn't help my case any. I know I don't show my emotions much but I was also hoping to find love on my own but politics ruins it just like it has most of my life. I know what you've been through Naruto and I sorry you're being forced into this." Temari said
"Luck of the draw I guess." Naruto sighing out and putting his arms on the edge of the onsen.
Temari didn't know what came over her but seeing him open up to her touched her. This was a side of Naruto that people never see but he trusted her enough to open up to her. Temari swam over to him and sat in his lap while looking at him with compassion. Naruto was a little shocked but saw the look in her eyes and he was blown away at just how beautiful she is. Something was drawing them together and before either one knew what happened their lips locked and Naruto wrapped his arms around her on instinct pulling her close to him which caused her to press her breasts into him and she began grinding on him. From there they went off hormones and instinct.
Naruto stood up and Temari's response was to wrap her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist, while he moved one hand to her back and the other one wrapped underneath her ass. Naruto began walking back to the house carrying his future wife. Once inside Naruto moved his grip to the bottom of her thighs and slammed her up against a wall. Temari moved her hands to his hair and was pulling him closer not wanting to let the kiss end.
Unfortunately for her Naruto had other plans and backed off but dove right into her neck and began sucking on the artery and lightly biting her neck making her gasp and moan out while her hands curled into balls with his hair in them. She began bucking her hips as well and she could feel his bulge stiffening.
"N-Naruto, wait." She said and he backed off looking at her with concern.
"I want to continue but I think it's better if we wait to do that." She said caressing his face with a soft smile adorning her own.
"I understand." Naruto said putting her down and looking at her.
"That doesn't mean I don't want it though. Just not yet. Maybe take me on a few dates and win my heart and then we'll do that okay big boy." She said gripping his bulge at the last part, winking at him then walking away swaying her hips a little extra and untied her top and bottom and let them fall by the string to the floor.
"You know I could use a hand to get those hard to reach places in the shower." She said walking up the stairs and disappearing.
Naruto stood still not really understanding what just happened but his brain went into overdrive and he flew up the stairs pinning her to the wall outside the master bedroom getting her to squeal a little. "You're such a fucking tease you know that?" He asked
"Yup." She said smirking at him and rubbing her thigh on his crotch. "Whatcha gonna do about it?" She challenged
"Guess you'll have to wait and see." Naruto said turning around and walking to the bathroom. Temari didn't move at first blushing a little but got going once she heard Naruto call out. "Didn't you need help with something in the shower?"
"Yeah."
"Well come on, I've got the water running." Naruto replied from the shower.
"I was just teasing you ya know." Se replied a little embarrassed.
"I know but I'm not."
"But you're naked."
"Aaaaaannnnndddddddd? What's your point, you're naked right now."
"I'll give you that one."
"Not like you had a choice." He replied but felt a chill go down his spine.
"What was that." She coldly asked
"Nothing, nothing at all."
"That's what I thought; anyways I'll shower in the guest bath, but I can spend the night in the master bed if that's ok." She replied
"That'd be nice Temari." He said smiling which in turn made the other blond smile.
"Good, I'll see you in a couple minutes." She replied happily walking to the bathroom.
'I can't believe all of that just happened.' She thought to herself blushing like a tomato. 'What the hell happened to me? It was like something possessed me and I actually kissed him- and OH MY GOD he's so strong! Picking me up with ease and carrying me! And his fucking cock felt enormous! He'll split me open if it goes in me!' She thought only increasing her blush.
The whole time Naruto spent the shower relaxing and smiling a bit thanking Jiraiya mentally. He opened himself up to Temari not knowing what would happen and it resulted in her kissing him, which led to them making out, and she grabbed his crotch while also accepting the invitation to spend the night in bed with him.
Unbeknownst to anyone but Temari, she was a bit of a closet pervert. She read erotic novels and knows exactly what to do when the time comes for her and Naruto to consummate their marriage. She has spent countless night fingering herself to sleep off of mere fantasy of being brutally fucked into a mattress and breaking the bedframe. Temari had some normal fantasies like being fucked in her ass, getting creampied, and having lesbian sex. Some of her other fantasies though aren't what most women think about when getting themselves off. Temari would love to have a threesome with two guys and a threesome with one of girl, double penetration, triple penetration, double pussy and double anal fucked; roleplay, some bdsm where she gets totally dominated and treated like a whore, she wants to cry and choke on the biggest cock she can find. Some of her kinkier fantasies include public sex, futanari, fucking her Hokage Tsunade, voyeurism, pregnant sex, getting bound and spanked like a schoolgirl. Needless to say Temari is going to make sure Naruto has his hands full with her kinks and she hopes he's up for the challenge.
After cleaning off Temari headed to the master bedroom in her black nightie that came down to mid-thigh along with a black thong style panty that really complimented her curves if she wanted to take off the nightie. Her hair was down and she strode into the room with the confidence of the baddest bitch in town and when she opened up the doors to the master bedroom Naruto's jaw dropped seeing how beautiful she looked.
"You looked amazing Temari." He said from under the sheets.
"Thanks, you look pretty good too." She replied blushing a little before walking up and getting under the covers with him. Both of them were looking at each other while resting on their sides to talk some more before going to sleep.
"Thanks for opening up to me and trusting me enough to do that. It means a lot." She said blushing right before kissing him on the cheek.
"So if I open up more I get more kisses and stuff?" Naruto jokingly asked
"Maybe." Temari said dragging out the word.
"What does that mean?" Naruto asked
"It means that I may keep doing stuff like kisses and what not for you if you open up to me and try to make things work with me." She replied with a small giggle.
"That's blackmail!"
"Well I mean I could stop teasing you, but then that means I'll cover up and not let you get a peak at me." Temari said as she smoothly snaked her hand under the covers to lightly squeeze his cock and she leaned in to whisper to him, "But I'm sure you'd much rather I tease you and let you see my body instead of not giving you anything." Temari then rolled to her other side and backed her ass up against his cock and playfully rubbed her ass against him. Naruto softly groaned knowing he was in for an interesting life.
Temari giggle before removing her ass and was content with her teasing for the day.
"Can I ask you something Temari?"
"Sure." She replied rolling back over and looking at his cerulean eyes.
"Why are you so…I guess the word I'm looking for is proper…yeah. Why are you so proper outside but today you just seem like a different kind of person when it's just us, how come?"
"Like I've already told you, I'm willing to make this work if you are and I might as well have fun with it. Plus when a girl likes a guy she tends to be flirty, I'm just really flirty is all." She explained
"Wait so you like me!?"
"I mean you are cute; you have a nice body and when you want to be you can be sweet, plus you having a big package helps." She said smirking.
"What does my dick have to do with anything?"
"I'm what you'd call a size queen. If I'm gonna sleep with someone they better have a big package for me otherwise I won't be turned on. Now there are exceptions like if he has a good personality then how big he is won't matter as much, but he better know how to pleasure a woman." She explained
"So because I have a good personality and a big package you're gonna be flirty with me?" He asked
"That, but our countries depend on us coming together so I want to have fun." She said
"Right, ok."
"I'll give you more things to enjoy but you've got to take me on that date first ok." She said
"Got it." Naruto replied with a smile before rolling over and getting comfy.
"Night Temari."
"Goodnight Naruto."
Next Morning
Temari was the first one to wake up and decided that she wanted to return the favor of cooking a meal and went out to get some ingredients for her favorite breakfast because she also wanted to see what Naruto thought of her cooking and the food itself.
When she woke up she saw that Naruto had rolled a bit in his sleep since his chest was pressed against her back and his arms were wrapped around her making her feel safe and protected, the kicker though was she noticed he kicked the sheets off and his enormous python was just hanging out in between them. 'The day he fucks me is the day I can die in peace.' She thought as she slowly got out of bed making sure to not wake him. After getting out of bed and seeing he was asleep she undressed her nightwear and left it on the bed before going into his closet and finding a shirt that was clearly too big for her. 'Let's see how he likes this surprise.' Temari thought as she put on the orange shirt with a black Uzu swirl.
As she headed downstairs she could feel the a/c blow underneath her shirt and cool her pussy. While Temari was in the kitchen she was dancing and cooking just enjoying the fact that her second night was leaps and bounds better than her first one. As she danced to her heart's delight and cooked the smell wafted its way upstairs into the master bedroom waking up the fox container.
As he made his way downstairs in a black shirt with an orange Uzu swirl, he could hear Temari humming to herself while hearing her operate some of the kitchen.
"Morning." He sleepily said
"Good morning Naruto." She sang out smiling back at while still shaking her hips in rhythm to her own beat.
"How did you sleep?" He asked from the kitchen entrance.
"I slept wonderfully, thanks for asking." She replied as she strolled up to him and pecked him on the lips before turning around and heading back to finish cooking the food. "Go ahead and pick a seat, food should be done in a couple minutes." She said not looking back trying to focus on the meal.
Naruto found his spot and couldn't help but smile seeing her dance and pretty much put on a private show for him. He didn't even notice that she took his favorite shirt and was wearing it.
"I hope you don't mind me using one of your shirts." She said
"I didn't even notice." He said, "It looks good on you though." He complimented.
"Aww, thanks Naruto." She said blushing a little, "Yours looks nice as well."
Once Temari finished she set the plates down and sat down next to Naruto to get an up close reaction.
Naruto had never seen this food before but it looked amazing and he was eager to see how well it tasted. With only one bite Naruto's eyes widened and he couldn't believe how well of a cook she is. 'This shit is fucking incredible! It might even be better than ramen! No it couldn't, but damn is it a close second.'
"Well whatcha think?" She asked eager to find out.
"It's incredible, it's some of the best food I've ever had." He said right before devouring the rest of it. "You didn't happen to make more did you?" He asked
"On the stove." She replied smiling, "Glad you enjoyed it. It's my favorite dish from back home. Maybe you can teach me some of what you like to cook and I'll teach you some things of what I like."
"Well it sounds like a deal, since I don't have anything planned for today and Kakashi-sensei gave us the day off so I'm game he said grinning and leaning on the counter.
"Good, I suggest we get clothes on that we don't mind getting dirty." She said
"Alright then after we finish eating I'll clean up and we can get started." Naruto said
"Perfect." The Sand Princess replied
After eating and chatting they finally finished with Naruto showing off his famous appetite. Temari went ahead to find some old clothes she didn't care about getting dirty and she tied her hair up into space buns and came back in a grey sports bra and grey running shorts ready to getting cooking.
Naruto saw her come back in the kitchen dressed in athletic wear and he was once again blown away by her beauty.
"Wow, is there anything you don't look good in?" He asked
"Camo." She quickly replied.
"Somehow I doubt that." Naruto replied as he walked by her and slapping her ass. "Eep." Temari squealed and covered her mouth quickly not knowing what sound she just made and blushing up a storm never guessing that Naruto would be ballsy enough to tease her back.
'Did he really just get back at me!?'
Naruto was smirking like a fox as he went upstairs and changed into a short sleeve muscle shirt and shorts with full intention to get back at Temari because no one ones up Naruto and gets away with it.
As he came back downstairs and into the kitchen it was Temari's turn to be wowed at how he looks. 'Oh so he wants to play that game huh. May the best shinobi win.'
"So I looked around the kitchen and I think we need to do some special shopping for what I need to cook. I'm gonna go get my welcome kimono on and I'll be ready to head out, why don't you make sure you've got everything you need okay." She said heading back upstairs.
'If he keeps this up I'm gonna end up sleeping with him before the week is up and it's only Wednesday!'
After scoping out the kitchen Naruto did need to get some more groceries if they were gonna be cooking all day.
Temari came back downstairs in her kimono that she wore when she first arrived. "How's your situation?" She asked
"I'm gonna need to get some stuff as well. How come you covered up?" He asked
"Well you're my fiancée so only you get to see me dress like that." Temari replied
"You're something else you know that." Naruto said smirking
"Yup, now let's go shopping so we can get cooking." She said leading the way and swaying her hips going out the door.
'I think I'm actually falling for this woman and it's only been a couple of days.' He thought following her lead.
While they were out at the market they were able to find everything with ease and it must have been their lucky day because no one of the vendors hassled them for the price.
To anyone who didn't know them they would just see two teenagers enjoying each other's company. They were just chatting about what they were planning on cooking and if there was anything else around the house they wanted to fix, and some training they would like to get in.
Once they returned home Temari started by taking off her kimono and began dancing once she got in the kitchen like she did earlier. Once they put everything they needed on the island Naruto brought up a suggestion.
"Why don't we train for a little bit before getting to the food. I'm curious to see how I stack up to you."
"I haven't trained in a while and I could use a good workout." She said
"Alright I'll meet you out back." Naruto said walking out back.
Temari quickly ran upstairs to grab her big fan along with her two smaller ones that she sealed away in her forearms. After heading out back she saw that Naruto was stretching himself out getting ready.
"So how do you want to start this?" She asked stretching.
"Well why don't we start with hand to hand before moving on to weapons and then ninjutsu." He suggested
"Sounds good. Ready when you are." She said getting in her stance.
Without even needing to signal the start the both charged in with Naruto throwing a right hook and Temari ducked underneath and landed an uppercut to his abdomen and sent him in the air. Temari smirked thinking she got one on him but he popped into smoke getting Temari to bring up her guard but it was too late; Naruto swept her legs out from behind and brought his right leg up ready to send it straight down at her but the kunoichi rolled out the way and jumped back a couple times to create distance.
"Nice clone and leg sweep, but I thought we were gonna wait on ninjutsu." She said dusting herself off.
"Thanks, that was a good dodge and uppercut you had plus I made that clone before you came out and we agreed on the terms so can you really blame me?"
The two once again started up with each one landing good shots forcing them both to make sure they didn't stay close for too long. Temari knows that Naruto prefers up close and personal fights so her strategy is to get in and get out since she isn't using her fans just yet.
After a solid 25 minutes of hand to hand combat they moved to weapons with each one pulling out a kunai and began fighting. All you could hear for the next 15 minutes was steel clashing with steel as they went at it. For the most part up to this point they've been pretty even on the match but it would change once they included ninjutsu.
Once they agreed to use ninjutsu Temari immediately pulled out her big fan and created a sandstorm to buy her some time to think of a strategy, but Naruto being Naruto charged right through and came out the other end with a Rasengan ready to hit her. Now if Temari wasn't as skilled as she is she may have suffered severe injuries but thankfully she isn't hopeless and brought her fan up to block the jutsu but the impact cause her to lose her grip on it and it flew up in the air and came down on the grassy part of their yard and embedded itself in the dirt.
Back and forth they went with Naruto getting close to Temari but she always had a counter ready for him and she made sure to keep her distance since he becomes a more dangerous fighter when using ninjutsu up close the way he does.
This continued for an hour and a half before Naruto got the win by tricking her with clones and getting behind her and putting a kunai up to her throat. "Yield." He said
"I yield." She replied putting her arms up accepting defeat.
"You're one hell of a fighter Naruto." She complimented getting him to crack a grin.
"Thanks, your Wind Style is no joke, and you're much better at hand to hand than I originally anticipated." He replied
"Well a ninja's best weapon is the element of surprise." She said grabbing her fan and walking back in the house with her future husband.
"So how do you wanna go about cooking?" He asked
"Well first I'm going to go take a shower just to rinse off and then I'll come back." Temari said and disappeared up the stairs to clean off. Naruto took this opportunity to also get rinsed off but chose to use the outdoor shower they had. If Temari had looked out the window her shower had she would've seen her husband-to-be naked in all his glory washing himself which would've been enough for her to rub one out really quick. But she didn't look and focused on getting the sand, sweat and dirt off of her so she could cook properly and not get the food dirty.
Naruto got done cleaning off much quicker than Temari and decided to tease her a little bit and left his muscle shirt outside on purpose and waited for Temari to come back down. Once she made her way down the stairs in the same shirt she had on earlier she was given the surprise of seeing Naruto's muscular build waiting for her to gaze upon it.
Naruto smirked seeing her practically drool over him and it made his chest swell with pride knowing a woman was finally appreciating him. Yes, Naruto was falling in love much quicker than he could have anticipated and he wasn't going to complain.
"You just love to one up me huh foxy-kun?" She sarcastically asked
'New nickname huh, I like it.' He thought before replying, "Yeah, it's kinda my thing ya know." A shit eating grin was plastered on the Jinchuriki's face knowing he was getting points in his favor.
'He's really going to make it hard for me to not fuck him before I leave at the end of the week.' The princess thought to herself as she decided to get some pay back and strolled up to him swaying her hips and spinning on one foot when she got close to him and back her ass up to him while her arms went up around his neck to bring him closer and she began grinding on him to show him who was in charge. Naruto's instinct was to grab her waist where it curves in and pull her closer and this made Temari get hot under the collar feeling his strong hands take possession of her.
Before he could do anything else though she got out of his grasp while still moving her hips and decided to go for the knockout by taking off the shirt and revealing that she wasn't wearing a bra. Naruto's face became extremely red with steam coming out his ears. Temari just walked up to him pecked him on the lips and began grinding on him again causing him to get a nosebleed that sent him to the ground where he was twitching, not knowing if he was dreaming or not.
'I win this time foxy-kun.' She thought giggling at his antics before putting her shirt back on.
End Chapter
Alrighty here we are at the end of another chapter. I wanted to make sure we saw them struggle a little bit in the beginning but come together and find their rhythm. I haven't seen any stories where Temari is flirty so I decided to try it out and see how well it could work with the story and I think it's doing a pretty damn good job. Let me know what you guys think.
Next chapter I think we'll finally get into Temari leaving for home and Sasuke leaving for the Sound to seek strength form Orochimaru. After that I don't see many important or memorable events happening until the time skip so I may try to make the next arc 3 chapters if I can to space it out and then we'll hop right into Shippuden where I guarantee we will see the first lemon of the series.
If you guys enjoyed this chapter make sure you review so I know, if there's any suggestions you have you can also put it in a review. Make sure to Favorite and Follow both myself and the story to stay updated, and if you like what you see here go ahead and check out my other stories and leave a review for me so I know what story to do next. Currently I'm working on the next chapter for Naruto of Fairy Tail, Misty Love and Jinchuriki the Abandoned Race on top of this story so I'll try to get those moving as well, but if you like this one more than the other you need to show this one some love.
Anyways I really hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and I'll see you guys next time. Ja ne!
