Disclaimer: Naruto does not belong to me.
Author's Note: This chapter is slightly different from the ones before it. Instead of being centered around one character it has nine snippets: one for each character covered so far.
Warning: Lemonish. Please note this is a mature rated fic. If you're underage this isn't for you.
Pakkun trotted to his den. "I'm home, honey"
"Already?" his wife said. She was so eager for his return, he gave a tiny wag with his tail. His wife rolled her eyes.
"How is Kakashi-kun?"
Pakkun sighed. What a difficult question. Kakashi should be on top of the world - the war was over, Madara and Tobi defeated and an enticing new love interest had presented herself in the form of Sakura. Yet he smelt strongly of despair, and his questions about Obito...
"Mired in the past" He finally said, tail drooping.
Hinata urged the ink bird to land as she flew over Konoha. Only a handful of shinobi had stayed behind to protect the civilians and the newly reconstructed town felt alien to the Hyuga. Frowning she landed, before turning to drag the girl down.
"Hinata" She turned to see her old sensei Kurenai smiling warmly at her "This is an unexpected surprise."
"Sensei." she nodded, smiling back.
"And who is this?" the older woman asked, helping Hinata with the girl
"A spy - I need to take her to Ibiki" Hinata said.
The two women started to drag the girl to Ibiki's office.
"Will you come to dinner after this?"
Hinata hesitated, as much as she wanted to ask her old sensei's advice about Naruto... and Neji, she wasn't quite ready to share her thoughts.
"Gomennasia, I need to rush back."
"More battle business?" The older women quizzed.
"More clan business." The women shared a meaningful look and sighed.
Kakashi's thumb moved upwards passing over the swelling of Sakura's ribs. She stiffened and he moved his hands on her waist lower. They were both flying on the same ink bird. Sai had drawn this one so that it was more aerodynamic and had stronger wing muscles. Its speed was enormous - they'd reach soon. He only hoped it would be in time.
"Are you worried?" he asked Sakura.
"Nervous." she replied trying to move away from him.
His hold on her waist tightened. "About meeting Sasuke?"
"hmm" she murmured. He knew without looking that she was chewing on her lowered lip. So cute! his inner pervert squealed. He ruthlessly squashed this side of him. This was serious.
"We'll see it through" he whispered into her hair. She was silent, but lent back into him.
Sai launched a punch, the enemy shinobi didn't even dodge. Sai's fist connected and the shinobi turned into water, before reforming into a solid human with a shark smile.
Sai jumped back to avoid the spray, cursing when a drop fell on his foot. It expanded to form a water blob that trapped his foot. Damm it! If he was unable to move there was no hope for winning this battle. Quickly he drew a lion on his scroll.
The beast roared as it flew to attack but the shinobi just laughed. Not bothering to defend himself, he strode towards Sai as the lion turned into a soggy mess, ink dissolving into the puddles left behind by the enemy shinobi.
They were completely outclassed. All he could do was hope Sakura and Kakashi would arrive soon.
Neji dodged a gigantic fist, jumping back desperately to put enough space between him and his opponent to use rotation. The lack of sleep last night was badly affecting his body, slowing down his moves and making him hyper-aware of the screaming nerves in his arms as they protested against their overuse.
When they ran into Sasuke's team the Uchiha had gone completely, utterly insane. Without a word he had launched at Naruto; his eyes enormous, hungry pits that were completely focused on the Jinchurki. Shinobi didn't scare easily, and Hyuga Neji scared even less than the normal nin but he had never felt anything as dark, as purely evil as Sasuke's aura.
He couldn't spare a glance at the Jinchurki, or Sai or at the unoccupied Orochimaru. Focusing on the opponent instead, he held on to Hinata's awkward stuttered words instructing him to come back, to ward of exhaustion.
Tsunade stared blindly ahead of her. Sai's latest scrawled note said that there were four enemies instead of three. The intelligence on Juugo and Suigetsu was daunting. They were clearly dangerous shinobi. The odds were against the team. Even with the back up of Sakura and Kakashi it was in no way certain that they would win. They'd need another miracle from the Jinchurki and Tsunade could think of nothing to help him
Orochimaru watched the raging battles around him with delight. He had been right about the littlest Uchiha - he really did spread chaos wherever he went. Look at him now, launching fist, after kick, after fist at Naruto. Utterly berserk. He couldn't wait till he occupied that body.
Stretching the Sannin decided that it was time that he entered the battle. Before he could take more than a couple of steps however, the ground beneath his feet fissured, knocking him off balance. Tsunade! Where was she - he hadn't thought she'd come out for a battle like this. Turning around he saw a pink haired Kunoichi running towards him. Automatically, he jumped to avoid her fist. She wasn't as strong as Tsunade, nor did she have her chakra reserves but she was definitely a challenge.
Naruto. That was all he could see. Naruto in orange and white. The sunlight turning his clothes translucent, making his skin and hair glow as he twisted in the air. Sasuke was utterly blinded by this creature.
Bowing his head, the Uchiha struck out, the graceful arc of his kunai tearing through the Kyubi's clothes, exposing skin, bright, glowing skin. Reaching out with a punch he watched it bruise purple, watched Naruto arch forward, his breath and blood spurting out, drops falling onto Sasuke's bare chest. Sasuke grasped him around the waist, pulled him up so their pelvis were flush. His erection painfully gliding over the gasping jinchurki's hardness as he pressed the kunai to his throat. Ruby drops fell from the cut, staining the glowing skin and Sasuke was lost in his lust. Uncontrolled, uncontrolling his entire being focused on Naruto and the grinding of their hips.
Naruto reached out with his hand and cupped his face. Sasuke was entirely unprepared for such tenderness. The voices in his head, roared. The hand gently tugged his head down and he met blue blue blue eyes. The shock of their color silenced all. He was blind, he was deaf, he was dumb. All he knew was this; blood and skin, red and gold. Naruto.
If high level shinobi's are able to communicate just by trading blows, then just what are you trying to communicate to me, Sasuke? Teme, you always hated words didn't you?
Naruto groaned as Sasuke thrust against him. There was an answering grunt from the Uchiha.
Can you hear what I have to say? Cupping his face, Naruto gazed into those onyx eyes, unafraid of the activated sharigan. Can you feel how much I need you? He thrust back, uncaring of the kunai nicking deeper into his neck. Give me all your rage, all your darkness. I can absorb it all. Just come back to me.
The Uchiha flung him off. Landing a few meters away, Naruto raged, anger spreading through his veins, Kurama eagerly tried to feed him his chakra but Naruto clenched down to reject the chakra. The nine tailed fox had no role in this.
How dare Sasuke walk away from him! Standing up, the Jinchurki's eyes blazed with fury, as the tatters of his clothing flew in the wind. Sasuke refused to look at him. Eyes narrowing, Naruto ran forward, jumping onto the unaware Uchiha in less than a second. Sasuke lost his balance falling down to lie on the ground, head bleeding from where he hit a rock. Naruto straddled over him, leaning down till all the Uchiha could see was the blood spattered, fuming blond Jinchurki. Lifting his hips he carefully placed them over Sasuke's erection. Closing his eyes from the sensation, he didn't open them until Sasuke hissed and involuntarily bucked up against him. Grinding down onto him he said his first words to Sasuke: "I'm not letting you go, teme"
Author's note II: Sex and war - I struggle at writing both. Anyway I hope you all enjoy this chapter. Please read and review.
