[Minato And Kushina's House]
[Warning! Lemon Starts Now!]
The bedroom door crashed open when Minato and Kushina entered while furiously making out, their tongues waging a heated battle within one another's mouths. As the blonde Hokage walked his wife backwards towards the wall of their bedroom, their hands ran up and down one another's bodies and started ripping each other's cloths off. Kushina took off her husband's white, flame clad coat and let it fall to the floor of their room while Minato was undoing the buttons on the back of her dress. Her green dress fell off and onto the floor leaving her only in her white short sleeved blouse and her black panties. She moaned and blushed when she felt him kiss her neck while one of his hands snaked down in between her legs to please her.
Minato would kiss and lick her soft and fare skin while he rubbed her moistening pussy through her panties. Her breathing was becoming more erotic and her mewling was music to his ears as he made her feel good. Kushina then brought one of her hands down to rub him in between his legs and smiled when she felt the large bulge in his pants and got him to groan from her soft but firm grip on his manhood. Kushina reveled in having this kind of power over her husband and it made her happy to know that she was the only woman in the world he desired. She was really looking forward to this night with Minato and wanted him to ravish her. She wanted to love and be loved by her husband like he'd done many times before.
She then helped him out of his blue shirt, revealing his well toned and very muscular torso to her. Just the sight of his biceps, pecks and abs made her even wetter and hornier so she reached up between her breasts to undo her bra and let her large tits out for him to see. Minato marveled at her beautiful mounts of flesh before closing the gap between them and locking lips with his wife once again. Kushina reached down to pull her husband's pants off then smiled when she felt his cock pressing against her. She then took her panties off and let them fall to her feet before spreading her legs to grant Minato access to her wet and awaiting pussy. He wasted no time at all lining himself up with her entrance before pushing in.
Kushina moaned and blushed bright red when she felt him sheath himself into her body completely.
"Minato." she moaned softly as she rested her head on his shoulder.
He responded by reaching down to grab her by her ass and then lift her off the ground while holding her up against the wall. Kushina then wrapped her legs around his waist to hold him in place as he started thrusting his cock up into her womanhood. Minato's breathing turned to grunting as he felt her wet and warm caverns tightening around his dick. Kushina was moaning loudly now as his sharp thrusts sent his cock up into her with great power with the head of his penis hitting her cervix which only served to send sock waves of pleasure coursing through her body.
"Faster Minato!" she cried out. "Harder!" she urged.
Minato responded by picking up speed then while he kept fucking her, he brought her face to face with him and they smiled at one another. They then locked lips again and started another heated battle with their tongues. Shiny sky blue eyes gazed lovingly into equally beautiful violet ones while they fought to gain dominance of their lover's mouth. Kushina then broke the kiss and hugged Minato tightly to her and started moaning and whimpering in a higher pitch as she felt her first orgasm fast approaching. She also felt her husband twitching inside her so she knew he was about to finish as well. Minato picked up the pace and soon, the sound of their soaking crotches were echoing throughout their bedroom with their moaning.
Finally, Kushina coiled around Minato's cock and started crying loudly to the heavens as she started cumming with great force. Minato's eyes rolled back when he felt how unbelievably tight her vaginal muscles had become. A few more thrusts and with one final loud groan, he burst within her and painted her insides with his hot and sticky cum. Kushina started panting as she felt the intense heat of being filled with her husband's love fluids. The two remained joined at the hip and took a few moment to catch their breaths before Minato surprised her by first gently pulling out so as not to hurt her then lifting her up into his arms bridal style before walking her over to their bed. Kushina smiled up at him as he lay her down gently on the bed.
The both of them were fully naked now and Minato climbed up onto the bed with her. He took a moment standing on his knees as he marveled at his wife. He thought she was absolutely stunning in the moonlight that shined through their window.
"You're beautiful." he said lovingly to her.
"Oh you." she replied with a blush.
He then leaned in over top of her to lock lips with the red head beneath him as he got into position with her. Since the both of them now had the house all to themselves with Naruto moving out, they were free to make love to their hearts content. One of the things about having Naruto live with them for as long as he did was that they couldn't just have sex without the fears of him overhearing them. Kushina was very loud when Minato ravished her body and they both knew Naruto would have noticed if he were still living with them and they didn't want him to hear the motions of their love making. That's why when their son left for his first mission to the Land of Waves, they spent every night together mating like catholic rabbits.
Kushina ran her hands up and down her husband's back while they made out and she could feel his heartbeat through his just which was pressed up against her large breasts.
"Minato." she mewled as he kissed her neck. "Please don't keep me waiting." she begged.
Minato took this as the signal that she was ready to go again. He reached down to grab hold of his cock which was at full strength again before lining himself up with her awaiting entrance and then pushed into her again. She moaned loudly when she felt him penetrate her body and quickly wrapped her legs around his waist in response to his strong and sharp thrusts. Minato kept fucking her hard and fast like she wanted him to and she started whimpering when she felt the head of his cock hitting her cervix again like before. She then brought his face to hers in another hot and searing kiss and they moaned into one another's mouths as the room was filled with the sound of their wet crotches slapping against each other and the bed creaking.
She then broke the kiss again to pull him into her and held him tightly as he picked up the pace with his thrusts. She blushed and felt another orgasm fast approaching and was glad to feel her husband twitch inside her again which meant he was gonna cum again soon. She could already tell that this was gonna be another really intense climax and started moaning in a higher pitch as she dug her nails into his back. Minato hissed at the pain and pleasure of feeling her scratch his back and was grunting as he felt her grow tighter and tighter around the shaft of his cock as he kept thrusting into her hot and wet pussy. Kushina then cried out loudly as she finally came. Her eyes rolled back in her head as she felt him ride out her orgasm.
Minato groaned after feeling her squirting her nectar out all over their crotches and how tight she had gotten. Moments later, he gasped and groaned loudly as he sent another torrent of cum into her body. Kushina moaned again from feeling him fill her with several more spurts of his hot and sticky cum. They would remained joined and take a few moments to catch their breath again before the blonde got up, gently removing himself from his wife's body and onto his knees again. He started stroking himself to get back to full strength as the red head rose to sit up.
"Kushina, turn around and get on all fours for me." he told her as he was at full strength again.
Kushina complied and turned around for him, getting onto her elbows and knees while presenting her backside to him like he had hoped. Minato took another moment to marvel at the sight before him. Kushina's fair and soft skin on her upper and lower back, her lovely heart shaped bubble like ass, her wet and leaking pink pussy that was awaiting him and even her puckering asshole was a sight to behold. As Minato got behind her, Kushina turned to face him when she felt him grope her hips.
"Minato, remember." she said back to him softly but firmly.
Minato smiled as he stroked himself a few more times. "I know." he replied before lining himself up with her snatch and entering her body again.
Kushina didn't like anal sex at all. She and Minato tried it only once and she thought it was way too painful to ever try again. Hell, she had to sit on a frozen bag of peas all day the following day after she first tried it and since then, decided never again. She was glad though that Minato didn't mind. He respected her wishes and was more than happy with tending to her vagina anyway. When he entered her body a third time, both of them moaned loudly together. This new angle felt even better than the first which made her tighten very quickly. Minato wasted no time at all pounding away within her, his crotch slapping against her bare ass and she whimpered and moaned as she felt his strong thrusts rocking her back and forth on their bed.
Minato gripped her hips firmly in his hands as he charged forward, ramming his cock into her body. He even gave her a sharp spanking on her right ass cheek and she shrieked in surprise before smiling at the feeling of him being rough and domineering with her. Kushina clenched the sheets tightly in her hands to the point where she was about to rip them and her eyes were rolling back in her head with her tongue hanging from her mouth as he thrust into her body harder and faster every moment to try and bring them to another climax.
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuuuuck!" she screamed as she felt wave after wave of pleasure coursing through her and as she felt her husband's crotch slapping loudly against her bares ass.
The headboard of their bed was banging loudly against the wall of their bedroom and both of their bodies were completely drenched in sweat from the intense heat of their hot and steamy sex. Minato decided to stir things up and let go of her hips before reaching forward and grabbing her by her tits and hoisting her up to him. Kushina let out a long and pleasurable cry from feeling the new way his cock was pressing against her walls when her back was against his chest. Minato groped, squeezed and massaged Kushina's large breasts in his hands and got her to whimper when he even pinched and twisted her nipples in his fingers. She responded by turning to him and locking lips with her husband once more in a long and pleasurable kiss.
The both of them remained lip locked as her next orgasm quickly approached and Kushina felt Minato twitch inside her yet again signalling his next finale. Both of them kept it up until they both moaned into one another's mouths and blushed bright red from another combined climax. Kushina's vaginal muscles tightened around her lover's cock like a vice grip and she started spilling out more of her honey which was trailing down her husband's cock and balls while Minato shot several more rounds of sperm up into Kushina's awaiting belly. The both of them then broke the kiss and fell forward onto the bed with Minato shifting so he would land on his side next to her and not right on top. They then took another few minutes to catch their breath.
After just a couple of minutes, Kushina smiled and turned to her beloved husband and lay into his body with her breasts pressing up against his muscular chest. They smiled at one another before she leaned in to kiss him again. She brought her hands up to frame his face while they made out and he held her in his arms with his hands roaming up and down her back. She then began to shift and proceeded to climb up over top of him.
"I wanna be on top this time Minato." she told him, smiling down at him while she straddled his waist.
"I'll follow your lead this time Kushina." he replied as he once again marveled at her beautiful and perfect body.
She then leaned in and locked lips in another heated kiss while holding his face in her hands and he responded by running his hands up and down her back while they made out. He then reached all the way down to grab hold of her ass cheeks and gave them a firm squeeze. Kushina moaned into her lover's mouth in response to that and then broke the kiss to sit back up straight. She smiled down to see he was at full strength again for one more round of love making. She reached down to grab hold of his cock. She smirked when she saw how he reacted from her firm but gentle stroking and reveled in the power she had over him. Once she was satisfied with jerking him off, she lifted herself up, lined him up with her pussy and sat down again.
Kushina moaned from feeling him impale her on his long and meaty cock and took a moment to just enjoy the feeling of being one with the man she loved more than life itself. She then began to gently roll her hips over his pelvis which was the signal for Minato to begin his thrusts. He knew that she wanted soft and gentle now and complied so he reached up to take hold of her hips again so she could keep better balance. Kushina placed her hands on his shoulders so she could roll her hips a little easier over him. The both of them breathed steady and soon got their hip movements going in a perfect rhythm. Kushina was lost in the feeling of how his cock slid around within her and tapped against her cervix while Minato was lost in her warmth.
He then reached up to take hold of her breasts again and earned himself the pleasurable sound of his wife's mewling from the new stimulation. She reached up in response to hold his hands in place so he could squeeze and massage her breasts and play around with her hardened nipples. It didn't take long at all before they felt another climax coming. Kushina wanted to speed things up a little more once she felt her husband twitch inside her again and Minato followed her lead and after a couple more well timed thrusts, Kushina let out a long moan from her final orgasm. Her vaginal muscles tightened around Minato's cock like a Boa Constrictor which finally sent him over the edge and came one last time into the warm and wet tunnels of his wife.
Kushina reveled in the moment she felt Minato spurt several more loads of his baby badder up into her womb and by now, their combined love fluids were leaking out of her swollen pussy and trailing down Minato's now limp cock. He allowed for her to fall forward, catching her in his arms and the two remained joined at the hip with his limp member still inside her. After just a couple of moments of them breathing heavy and getting some rest, Minato allowed Kushina to gently roll off of him and to his side so he could reach down, grab hold of the blankets and pull them up over their naked forms. Kushina lay into her loving husband with her head on his shoulder and he smiled with one hand behind his head and the other trailing her spine as they rested.
[End Lemon]
"I love you Minato." she spoke softly to her husband. "I love you so much." she told him.
"I love you too Kushina." he replied looking down into her beautiful violet colored eyes. "I love you more than life itself." he told her.
The both of them leaned in to kiss once again like they did so many times before. Tonight was absolutely wonderful for them both and they were happy knowing that now that Naruto lived in a different house and was no longer within earshot of them, they could have many more nights like this without the fears of him hearing them like before.
[Naruto And Temari's House]
It was getting late and Naruto was just chilling in his room and relaxing while reading another scroll his father wanted him to study. That was something his dad would have him do from time to time. Naruto would receive a new scroll containing jutsus that belonged to the Namikaze Clan and he would read up on them to try and learn later during his private training sessions with his dad. Each time he would finish a scroll, his father would tell him how proud he was before presenting another for him to learn from. Naruto was eagerly awaiting the scroll that would have the one jutsu he wanted to learn above all others. The Hiraishin No Jutsu or Flying Thunder God as it was called. The jutsu that earned Minato the title of Yellow Flash.
Naruto was so into the scroll that he jumped when an angry Suna girl yelled his name from another room.
"Damn it Naruto!" shouted Temari as he heard her coming down the hallway.
"What?!" he shouted back, wondering what got her so angry.
She then peeked around the corner to stare at him with anger and irritation. "Would it kill you to put the toilet seat down once you're finished using it?" she asked sternly.
This was something that got on her nerves and she would have to nag Kankuro over the same damn thing back home in her family's mansion. She didn't want to have to go over this with Naruto over and over again either.
"Would it kill you to look where you're about to sit?" he asked with a brow raised, not thinking it was such a huge deal. Naruto instantly regretted asking when that earned him what he thought had to be the coldest and truly the most angriest look from her ever. The only thing that could scare him this much was when either A, he did something to really piss off Sakura or B, he did something to really piss off his mother. "...I'm sorry." he squeaked as he paled at the death glare from his new fiancee.
Temari calmed down in response to that before straightening up and placing a hand on one of her hip. "Don't be sorry, just be considerate." she told him in a more calm but firm tone. "You're not the only one living in this house now Naruto and you had better remember that." she told him.
"Okay, okay, I'll try and remember that." he replied, throwing his hands up.
"Good." she replied before turning and heading to her bedroom. "Have a good night Naruto." she called from down the hall.
Naruto heard the door to her room slam shut and he relaxed afterwards. 'Why are women so scary sometimes?' he asked himself as he picked his scroll back up.
[Next Morning]
Minato would roll over and yawn himself awake. Then he would hear sniffling and looked to see Kushina sitting at the edge of their bed. He was shocked to see her weeping and quite bitterly to, tears streaming down the sides of her face like rivers.
"Kushina." he said, getting up and moving towards her. "Kushina, what is it? What's wrong?" he asked as she only continued to cry.
Looking to see her husband now sitting next to her, she only sobbed and leaned into him resting her head against his shoulder while he brought an arm up to hold her. "Oh Minato." she sobbed as she cried into his shoulder.
After only a moment, he now understood what was upsetting her. "You're upset about "That" again aren't you?" he asked, looking sad for her as well.
She nodded her head and cried some more. "Minato, last night was so wonderful." she replied. "I loved every moment I spent with you and I always do, but I can't help but remember that no matter how many times my Husband makes love to me, I can no longer bear children with him." she cried some more.
Many years ago when Naruto was born, Minato had to quickly try and repair the damage done to the seal that contained the Kyuubi No Kitsune within her since it was weakened during her pregnancy. But they came under attack by a mysterious man in a black hooded cloak who's face was hidden behind a strange looking mask. This stranger forced Minato to make an impossible decision. Either leave his wife's side and let this man take her away, or watch helplessly as he murder their newborn son right in front of them. Kushina urged Minato to save Naruto, no matter what and he did so but only at the cost of the masked man disappearing with his wife. By the time he caught up with them both, it was too late. The Kyuubi was free.
Minato would save his critically injured wife and return her to their sleeping son so she could care for him while he did battle with the masked man who had the Kyuubi under his control. Eventually, he was able to land a critical hit and place a seal on the man's chakra, thus cutting off his control from the demon fox. The coward would slink away and leave Minato locked in battle with the chakra beast to defend his village. Once he gained the upper hand, he came up with the solution but knew it would come at a terrible price. Bringing Kushina with him, who caught the Kyuubi in her chakra chains and Minato made ready to seal it away within her. But there was a problem he didn't count on and that was her seal was badly damaged.
They then made the painful decision of having to seal away the Kyuubi within their newborn son. Just as Minato was about to summon the Reaper, luck turned in his favor again. Hiruzen Sarutobi, the now retired Sandaime Hokage came to their aid and offered to use the jutsu instead of Minato. He said he had since already lived a good life and was ready to die if it meant to save Konoha and he believed that it was better for the old to die then the young anyway. Using the Reaper Death Seal, Hiruzen sealed half the Fox away within Minato while the other half was sealed within their newborn son. They believed it best to seal half and half so that they both had the best chances of survival. Then at last, Hiruzen Sarutobi drew his last breath.
The villagers would mourn the death of the Third for many days after the event and Minato would remain by his wife's side as she fought to recover from her traumatic injuries from their terrible battle with the masked man. Since she was no longer a Jinchuuriki and didn't have the Kyuubi's healing factor, she had to take well over three weeks in the hospital to recover. The fact she survived such blood loss itself was incredible but then again, she was an Uzumaki and capable of many amazing feats. In the end though, she was just happy that she was able to hold her new son in her arms again and relax. Minato would help her out every chance he could in raising their new son and Kushina thought he was a great father.
Days turned into weeks. Weeks turned into months and months into years. Raising Naruto was an amazing experience for the both of them. What started out as long nights of late night feedings, bathing him and changing diapers quickly grew into even more and more wonderful memories. Naruto's first smile which Kushina was blessed to have caught on camera. His first steps, his first words. Both parents watched on as he was quickly growing up into a very happy and energetic child. They could both tell from the get go he was gonna be just like his mother and Kushina praised Kami for that. When Naruto turned two years old, she and Minato thought of a great idea. The both of them would try for another baby and make Naruto a big brother.
But what started out as nights of fun and bliss would change as each time she would try and conceive another baby from Minato would be unsuccessful. After about a month of trying and getting nowhere, the both of them would stop by the hospital for an answer. That was when the sad truth was made clear to them. When the Kyuubi was ripped out of her body, it not only damaged her chakra network system so the Fox couldn't be sealed back inside of her, it also did great damage to her reproductive system. Kushina was absolutely devastated when the doctor had to tell her that she could never again have children. Minato would watch with a broken heart as Kushina would cry herself to sleep night after night for over a week because of it.
This was one of those days when she would remember and it would tear her up inside over and over again. It never got any easier.
"Minato, it's not fair." she wailed as he held her in his arms and tried to calm her down. "I wanted to have a big Family with you. I wanted to have many Children with the man that I love and I wanted to give Naruto little Brothers and Sisiters so badly." she cried as her tears streamed down her cheeks.
"I know Kushina." he replied sadly, holding her in his arms and even crying a little as well. "I did too." he told her.
"I won't forgive him." she sobbed. "I'll never forgive that awful man for what he did to me." she said in both sadness and in anger.
Minato would hold her for a little while longer until she finally cried enough. Then they would both get their showers, have some breakfast and get ready for the day. Today, Temari was gonna swear an oath of allegiance to him as her new Hokage and to Konoha as her new home and village. Today, she was gonna be a new Leaf Kunoichi.
[Naruto And Temari's House]
Naruto and Temari's morning started out a lot like the previous one. Temari would get up first and Naruto would let her have the shower first. He may not have liked how long she would be in there but what can he do? He would then proceed to make breakfast for them and would simply get his shower once they were done eating. Naruto wouldn't need as much time in the shower as her so she would wait only a few minutes before they would need to leave. They weren't needed at the Hokage tower until noon anyway so they still had time. Once she had finished her morning rituals, Temari would come downstairs to a well prepared breakfast that he made for them. Both had an omelette, a few strips of bacon, some toast and a cup of coffee.
Neither of them really said anything at first and just kept to themselves while they ate. Naruto didn't really like these long silences so he decided to get her attention.
"So, today's the day huh?" he asked, getting her to look up from her plate.
"Yeah." she replied after swallowing her mouthful of egg. "The day I join Team 7. It's all very exciting." she told him in a matter of fact kinda manner.
"I take it we're splitting up once we leave then?" he asked her.
"I'm gonna meet up with my Brothers and Baki Sensei before heading to the Tower." she replied. "I'm guessing that you're heading straight there to meet up with your team before the whole thing starts." she added.
"I think that's the whole idea, yeah." he replied.
"Then I guess once we're done here, we'll see one another again real soon." she said before lifting her coffee to her lips for a sip.
The both of them would continue to eat in silence after that. Naruto didn't know this, but Temari didn't really like these silences either. Her problem was that she didn't know what to really talk about and neither of them were really quite sure how to handle the situation. A month of preparing to officially meet your betrothal and they still felt like they weren't prepared. In the end, they figured they would sort it all out over time but for now, they needed to focus on what was ahead of them.
[Hokage Tower]
Later that day, Temari would meet back up with her team and the Suna delegation before heading to the tower where the Hokage worked. As they walked, her thoughts strayed to her Hitai Ate which always rested around her neck. A few times, she would reach up to simply touch the metal with a few of her fingers and think about how very soon, she would be trading this in for a Konoha headband. She really didn't want to do this. She was proud of her status as a Suna ninja and remembered how when she was younger, she worked really hard to get this. But now she was gonna have to give it all up and wear the leaf headband. As much as she didn't want to, she remembered that she agreed to do this. It was her duty to do what was best for Suna.
Upon entering the Hokage's office, she saw that the room was filled with a large gathering of people who've come to bear witness to the moment she swears loyalty to Konoha. Being educated in diplomacy, she would have to choose her next words and actions very carefully. Saying the wrong thing would cause a lot of grief for people on both sides and the last thing she wanted to do was cause a major diplomatic incident between Konoha and Suna. They were trying to forge a new alliance between their villages, not make things even worse. With her were obviously her brothers Kankura and Gaara who've been her teammates ever since she graduated the Suna ninja academy. Baki, her sensei was with her as well and so were elders Ebizo and Chiyo.
To her left, lined up along one end of the room were team Asuma with Asuma Sarutobi, Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka, Choji Akimichi and team Gai with Might Gai, Rock Lee, Tenten and Neji Hyuuga. Along the other side of the room were team Kakashi with Kakashi Hatake, Naruto Namikaze, Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha and team Kurenai with Kurenai Yuhi, Kiba Inuzuka, Hinata Hyuuga and Shino Aburame. At the end of the room was the Yondaime Hokage himself, sitting behind his desk. With him to his right was his lovely wife Kushina and two of the three Sannin who were really close family friends to the Namikazes, Jiraiya and Tsunade. To his left were three of their village elders and councilors Homura, Koharu and Danzo. Everyone was here.
Everybody from Suna entered the room and stood in the center just a couple of feet away from the Hokage's desk. They waited for him to begin once the doors were closed. Minato who was sitting forward with his fingers laced beneath his chin then sat back in his chair while keeping his eyes on the young lady before him.
"Temari, step forward." Minato commanded. He watched as she stepped out of her group and walked up to his desk, standing only a foot away. "Do you swear to serve, to protect and to defend Konoahagakure No Sato and all those you live within the safety of our shadows?" he asked her.
"I do." she answered him.
"And do you swear to carry out the orders given to you by your superiors with obedience as well as the missions your Hokage gives with duty?" he asked.
"I do." she answered again.
"And do you swear unwavering loyalty to your new brothers and sisters in arms?" he asked.
"I do." she answered a third time.
"And to do so now until death, no matter the cost?" he asked at last.
"Upon my life, my blood and all earthly honor, so I swear." she answered one last time.
Minato then extended a hand where Danzo handed him a file. He placed it on his desk, opened it up in front of her and pulled out a slip of paper before turning it over to her.
"Temari, the signing of this document will make your transfer to Konoha legal and official." he told her. "Once you've finished signing, I'll ask Kakashi to sign it as a witness and then I'll stamp it with my seal of approval which will make your transfer complete." he explained before handing her a pen.
The young blonde woman took the pen that was offered and looked down to see the dotted line where she was meant to leave her signature. As much as she may not have wanted to, there was no going back. She sighed and signed her name as neatly as she could before the Hokage asked her new sensei, Kakashi to come forward and he signed where he was supposed to. Minato then took the paper and looked it over and once he saw that everything was in order, he took out the stamp meant to be the Hokage seal of approval and then stamped it at the very bottom which meant he had approved it. He then handed the file over to Danzo who placed it back into the file and then he opened up his desk to pull out another form and a Konoha headband.
"As of today, you're now a Kunoichi of of the Hidden Leaf Village." he continued. "When we're done here, I want you to fill out this quick application and turn it over to Ebisu downstairs who'll take your picture and provide you a new photo ID. And I also present to you the Konoha Hitai Ate. Wear it proudly, for it is yours." he told her.
Temari hesitated for only a moment but remembered that many eyes were upon her. She reached up to undo the knot from around her neck and undid the Suna headband she had worn for so long before taking it completely off and putting it down onto Minato's desk. Then she picked up the Leaf headband and tied it around her neck like her old one and let it rest on her shoulders like the Sand one used to. And like that, she was now a Konoha ninja for everyone to see. She then picked up her old one and sighed before turning to Baki to present it to him.
"No Temari, you keep it." he told her.
"Sensei, I can't." she replied. "I'm...I'm not a Suna Ninja anymore so I can't wear it." she told him, trying not to get emotional.
"That doesn't mean you have to forget who you are or where you're from." he replied, stepping forward and placing his hands on her shoulders. "You may now wear Konoha's Headband, but to us you're still Temari of the Desert. You may live here now, but you're still Rasa's Daughter." he told her.
"Baki is right Temari." said Minato, getting the young blonde woman to turn to him. "The only thing we're changing is your future, not your past and I see nothing wrong with wanting to remember your place in Suna. If it means as much to you as it does, I will permit you to keep the Suna Hitai Ate." he told her. Temari smiled at that and put it away in her satchel. She may no longer wear it, but she was gonna keep it as it was still hers and a part of her proud heritage. "Naruto, step forward." said the Hokage as his young son left his group to stand side by side with Temari. "It has been decided that your wedding day will take place in exactly three months from today on April the ninth." he said while leaning forward on his elbows on his desk.
"On that day, you will be joined together in Holy Matrimony and be fully recognized as Husband and Wife." he continued. "Your marriage will serve as an important symbol of the new alliance and friendship between our villages and the birth of a new era of peace." he explained before leaning back in his chair again. "Have either of you any questions?" he asked which got Naruto to raise his hand. "Yes Son." he replied, letting him know it was okay to ask.
"Yeah, not that I have a problem with the date or anything, but why are we waiting till April?" he asked, putting his hand back down.
Minato figured it a fair question and nodded before answering. "Naruto, your wedding to Temari isn't just an event exclusively for your family and friends." he replied. "This is a very important political wedding which is of great significance to both of our villages. You and Temari both will become very important political figures to Konoha and Suna so there are many important people who'll wish to attend the wedding. These men and women you'll have as guests are very powerful clan leaders and noble men and women from very important families to both the lands of Fire and Wind. Considerable time and preparations are needed to ensure that we're ready for the guests and are able to see to their needs and their security." he explained to him.
Naruto nodded, figuring that it made a lot of sense. That was when Temari raised her and and Minato nodded, granting her permission to speak.
"Hokage-Sama, I wish to know of the final condition of the marriage and my obligation to my Husband and his Family." she told him.
The only people in the room who didn't quite get that were Naruto and Temari's friends. But Naruto, Kankuro and Gaara were fully aware as was everyone else and Naruto gulped, trying not to think about "That" little part of the tradition.
"It has been decided that there's no immediate need for you and Naruto to fulfill the final condition given that it's been agreed by both sides that you're still too young for parenthood." he replied which then became clear to everyone who wasn't aware yet. "You and Naruto will have a few years to talk it over and think about it before you're both finally obligated to complete the terms." he explained to her. Once she was satisfied with the answer, he made sure that there was nothing else. "Is there anything else?" he asked. After a moment of silence, he nodded. "Then that will be all, everyone is dismissed." he finished and watched as everyone filed out of his office and went on their way, leaving him alone now with his wife who wanted to talk.
"Minato." she said, getting him to stand up from his seat.
"I know Kushina." he replied, turning to face her.
"We've just set Naruto's future for him." she said. "No matter how many times I think about it, I feel like we're letting the village use him as a pawn for their political games." she said sadly.
Minato leaned in to hug and hold his wife to him. "Naruto is remarkably strong and he'll be fine." he told her. "He'll endure as he always has and we'll be there for him and Temari once they start their new life together." he told her.
"I know." she replied smiling but still unsure. "But I can't get it out of my head that there was still something we could have done for him." she told him.
"Kushina, we both knew the day I became Hokage that this was probably gonna happen one day." he replied. "And I've said before that the Shinobi Family must endure and this is one of those challenges. But I'm sure Naruto will find happiness in the end. We did and will always continue to do what we can for him." he told her.
Kushina smiled again and leaned in to hug him again and the both just stood behind the desk to hug for a while longer.
[Konoha Gates]
Naruto went with Temari to see Gaara and Kankuro off. He gave her some space and simply watched as she first hugged Kankuro tightly in one last loving embrace. Though he wasn't showing it, this was really hard on Kankuro. He knew it was gonna be quite some time before he'd have a chance to see his big sister again.
"You behave yourself, understood?" she asked once they parted.
"Why am I the one you have to tell that to?" he asked, only getting her to cross her arms and look at him with an "Is that a real serious question?" expression.
She then hugged Gaara who held her tightly like he did before back home. "I'm gonna miss you both." she told him before they parted.
The both of them would then watch as Gaara, Kankuro, Baki and the rest of the Suna delegation would leave down the road until they completely disappeared into the distance. Naruto looked up to see a serious face on his bride.
"Temari, are you okay?" he asked her, getting the older blonde to look his way.
Her expression wasn't harsh, just serious. Like she was trying to keep her emotions under control. She sighed and was more relaxed now. "I'm fine. Thank you for asking." she answered.
Naruto then put his hands behind his head and started walking with her as they reentered the village together. "Well, we have the rest of the day. Wanna hang out?" he offered.
She looked to her side to respond. "What did you have in mind?" she asked him.
Naruto grinned up at her. "Sasuke and Kiba told me that everyone's meeting at the Shushuya's." he answered. "Apparently, everyone's gathering there to throw you a proper welcoming party." he told her.
Temari was actually surprised to hear that and found the thought intriguing. "Is that right?" she asked, raising one of her brows.
"It's a great place to just unwind, relax and enjoy some great food." he told her. "Wanna come?" he asked.
"I could go for a bite to eat, sure." she replied with a small smile after realizing she was a little hungry.
And so Naruto would lead her to one of their favorite places to hang out and relax.
[The Shushuya's]
Temari was surprised by how nice this place actually was. It felt like a lounge where you would relax after a long day of training and just wanted to hang out. In addition to the standard menu, there was also a Mongolian grill where you could select a nice variety of meat, vegetables and seasoning so it could be cooked right in front of you and be delivered fresh off the grill, a Sushi bar where you could get some really good choices in seafood and the place also allowed dogs so Kiba was allowed to have Akamaru join them. She was also surprised to be so warmly welcomed by all of Naruto's friends. Once they were all seated, they got their drinks and had a toast in honor of hers and Naruto's engagement which was really quite flattering to her.
She was sure once she moved to Konoha that she was gonna have it rough, especially since she did take part in the attack against the village months ago. But apparently, it was all water under the bridge for them now. All of Naruto's friends were very polite and frankly, quite fun to hang out with. She surprised herself several times at how much fun she was having. She sat next to Naruto at the large table and would take turns talking to everyone else around her. Eventually after a few hours of eating and socializing, she excused herself to find the ladies restroom. Upon entering though, she stopped dead in her tracks to see an all too familiar Kunoichi. Tenten who was washing her hands at the sink turned to see her standing at the door.
The moment was a little tense at first. She didn't know how the young brunette was gonna react or feel towards her. During the preliminaries of the Chunin exams, Temari fought against her in single combat and she didn't just beat her in the fight, she humiliated and wrecked her. She didn't know this, but Tenten had to spend several days in the hospital to recover from her injuries and even after she was released, she was sore for several days longer which made Gai's training sessions an even bigger pain in her ass. Temari wasn't to sure what to say as the other girl just continued washing her hands. Finally, Tenten just smiled and turned off the water.
"You can relax Temari." she said, grabbing a paper towel to dry her hands with. "If you're worried that I'm holding a grudge over our fight, don't let it bother you. I may be very competitive, but I'm not a sore loser. You beat me fair and square and it was simply the luck of the draw that I would fight a wind user." she told her.
Temari smirked and placed a hand on her hip. "I'm glad you feel that way." she replied. "I would really hate for there to be any bad blood between me and my new sister in arms." she told her.
"Well, there isn't so don't let it keep you up at night." she said before walking past her. She then turned back to face the older blonde girl one more time. "But that doesn't mean that there's no score to settle between us." she said, getting Temari to turn to her again.
"Is that so?" she asked with another smirk.
"One day, you and I are gonna have another fight and this time, I'm gonna win and settle the score." she told her with a smirk of her own.
"I hope you're able to back up those words and your confidence." replied Temari. "I'll have you know that I've gotten a whole lot stronger since the last time we dueled." she told her.
"Then I'll be glad it won't be too easy." replied Tenten. "Because so have I." she finished before exiting the girls bathroom.
'Then this will be interesting.' Temari thought with another smirk.
[Author's Notes] So yeah, not too different from how it used to be written out except for the new writing style and being lengthened a bit with a few minor changes as to how I did it before. Hope you all like it and will continue reading the chapters as I rewrite and update each one.
As always, thanks so much for reading my stories, please leave me either a PM or a Review as I love hearing from my readers.
This is Dragon1990 signing out :-)
