Chapter 11: To Return or Not to Return
The next afternoon, the Konoha Chunin and surprisingly one Genin entered the kitchen to find Naruto sitting at the counter eating a sandwich while scribbling on a piece of paper.
"What are you doing Dobe?" Sasuke said in a demanding tone.
"That is absolutely none of your concern" Naruto said then took another bite of his sandwich and continued to scribble.
Suddenly Akamaru whined in hunger causing Naruto to turn, see the rest of his friends, smile and say, "Hey guys, what's up? You hungry? I'm afraid there's not much to eat since not only is it the cooks' day off, but our food supplies have run low so Kaa-chan and the maids have gone to do the household shopping. But luckily, Daichi had some time in the morning so he made some sandwiches for all of us"
Suddenly the PA crackled and Azusa, Daichi's secretary's voice was heard, "Naruto-sama, Daichi-sama wishes for you to meet him in his office, he says it's important"
"Be right there" Naruto called out then hopped off his stool, grabbed the last of his sandwich, downed his drink turned to his friends and said, "Uh, sandwiches are in the fridge, plates are under the counter, glasses are above the sink. There are some jugs with juices and drinks in the other fridge, help yourselves"
Naruto then left the kitchen, but returned when Akamaru whined again, "Akamaru, Daichi made some steaks for you and kept them in the fridge. He didn't know how you wanted them so he made three, one raw, one medium and one well done, take your pick. If you want it warmed up, Kiba can stick in the red mini oven and turn the dial to 5"
Akamaru barked happily.
Naruto smiled then remembered something and addressed his friends again, "Do not eat anything that doesn't have an orange sticker on it, otherwise you will end up in the hospital"
"Why?" Shikamaru asked.
"Because those are foods that won't agree with your biology and I really don't want to see how severe an allergic reaction you guys will have, so please listen and if anything happens, God forbid, pick up any phone and press the red button, you will get an immediate connection to either Daichi or myself" Naruto said then left.
"Well that was abrupt" Ino said then began taking out plates.
"He's probably busy" Hinata replied while getting the glasses with the help of Kiba.
"Naruto? Busy?" Tenten asked as she raised an eyebrow, "For some reason, hearing those two words in the same sentence is like watching Hokage-sama willingly go on a date with Jiraiya-sama and enjoy it, it boggles the mind"
"What makes you say that?" Choji asked as he brought out the trays of food from the fridge
"He just doesn't seem like the office type" Tenten said.
"Why not?" Shikamaru asked, "It's been three years, people can change"
"I highly doubt that in Naruto's case" Ino said with a snort.
Shikamaru frowned, "Alright how would you describe Naruto?"
"Brash" Ino said.
"Hard working" Hinata said.
"Goofy?" Kiba said, "A bit dumb"
"Loyal" Neji said, "Though that may no longer be the case after what Konoha did to him"
"VIGILANT!" Lee stated loudly.
"Hyper?" Tenten said.
"Honest" Shino said.
"Happy?" Choji said.
"Dead-last" Sasuke sneered.
"No one asked you, you two-bit traitor" Ino spat out.
"That's not the Naruto I knew" Shikamaru said, "While hard working, loyal and to a certain extent vigilant may apply to him, the rest most certainly don't, especially happy"
"Ok then" Ino said, trying to humour her teammate, "Tell us who the real Naruto is"
"Even I don't know who the real Naruto is, but what little of 'him' I've seen I can tell you that he is calm, smart and at the time very unhappy. I also know of the two people that I know have seen the real Naruto"
"And who would that be?" Hinata asked.
"Naruto and Sanzai-sama" Shikamaru said.
"Why? Just because he's sleeping with the guy?" Kiba said earning a swift whack over the head from Hinata.
"I'm just saying, when I saw Naruto yesterday, he seemed happy, really happy as well as more confident and comfortable with himself. I guess being around someone who is happy to be a Jinchuriki in a city that has respected, harboured and protected Jinchuriki for centuries has made him more accepting of his situation" Shikamaru said as he took a bite of his sandwich, "This is really good"
"Didn't Naruto say that Sanzai-sama made these?" Kiba asked causing everyone to stop eating.
"I want his babies" Ino blurted out.
Everyone looked at her.
"What? He's a good cook" Ino said in a defensive manner.
"It's a sandwich" Kiba said.
"But it's a damn good sandwich" Tenten replied.
"My point exactly" Ino said.
"I still don't see it" Kiba said.
"That's because you're a man, they ran out of emotional comprehension when they started making you" Ino said taking another sandwich from the tray.
All the guys, except Sasuke, growled in annoyance while the girls started giggling.
"Thank you for the food" Sasuke said in a monotone voice then placed his plate in the sink and left.
"Finally!" Kiba called out once they were sure Sasuke was out of hearing range.
Everyone chuckled while Ino turned her head and saw Sakura deep in thought, her meal untouched.
"Sakura, you ok? You haven't even touched your food" Ino said.
"Huh? Oh I, uh I was just… thinking" Sakura replied.
"About?" Choji asked.
"I uh, I was… Naruto's gay?" Sakura said.
"You're still hung up on that?" Tenten said.
"I don't see what the problem is" Kiba said, "its still Naruto, so what if he likes to take it up the-"
*WHACK* "KIBA-KUN!" Hinata shouted surprising everyone into silence.
"Did Hinata just…" Ino trailed off as realisation hit her, "OH MY GOD! Are you two…?"
Kiba and Hinata blushed brightly and nodded slowly.
"It's about damn time" Ino called out, "I told you Naruto was a lost cause, but now I say it because he has no interest in women and not because he was an oblivious idiot"
"Naruto's gay?" Sakura asked again.
"Woman what the hell is wrong with you? He's gay, big deal get over it" Tenten snapped.
"I love how were so accepting of Naruto's orientation" Shikamaru said with a smile, "I guarantee, if it were one of us, we would freak"
"I think we're all so glad he's alive, we don't care about it" Choji said.
"But… if he's gay then… what about all those times he tried to ask me out on a date? I mean he was pretty adamant about it and seemed genuinely hurt every time I turned him down" Sakura said.
"You would also beat him senseless, so you probably pummelled the heterosexual out of him" Kiba said with a snort.
Sakura's face fell.
"Did you think that maybe it was all just a façade, used to cope with simply existing in that village?" a voice said causing everyone to turn and see Manami standing in the doorway.
"Sanzai-sama!" Ino squeaked as she and everyone else stood.
"Please, call me Manami. Sanzai-sama was my late husband and now my son" Manami said with a smile.
"O-of course San- Manami-sama" Ino said.
"Much better" Manami said.
"What were you saying before about a façade?" Hinata asked.
Manami sighed, "Naruto would probably be very unhappy if he found out I told you this, but when he first arrived here, Daichi came to me for advice. I specialise in Clinical Psychology and back in the day I treated the shinobi forces dealing in Post Traumatic Stress but I also dealt with patients with emotional disorders"
"What does that have to-" Neji started but was cut off.
"Naruto was an emotional mess when he met Daichi" Manami said, "The level of mistreatment he received at the hands of that village made his mind create so many emotional coping mechanisms that his brain forgot how to feel, literally forgot how to feel as well as how to identify emotions. He would hide his true feelings under layers upon layers of emotional masks made up of falsified emotions that his brain could no longer tell the difference. Daichi told me that when he and Naruto crossed over into the Badlands, they spent a year just traveling in order to correct all the wrongs in Naruto's development. Everything from his emotional psyche, to his nutritional habits, to his basics as a Shinobi, all of it needed to be rectified. Daichi said that it was extremely trying for both of them, but it was the bond they both share and the love they both share that saw them through. I mean look at him now, Naruto doesn't look like someone with severe psychological problems, does he?"
"We… wouldn't know. We never thought anything was wrong. We just assumed he was a happy go-lucky idiot" Ino said.
"An idiot he most certainly isn't" Manami said, "But do not blame yourselves. Emotional Disorders of Naruto's severity are extremely complex so unless you know what you are looking for or are there to witness the birth and growth of the disorder, there is no way you could have known"
"So how did Sanzai-sama know?" Hinata asked.
"My son is very, very, very good at reading people, I guess he just saw it" Manami said, clearly she didn't know much in that area of discussion.
Suddenly they heard a door slam and a very angry voice say, "No! NO! I will not do it"
When they exited the kitchen, everyone saw a very angry Naruto march by.
"What's going on?" Ino asked.
"Naru! Naruto!" Daichi called out as he entered the hallway followed closely by Jiraiya and the Jounin senseis.
"What happened?" Manami asked.
"He… The…" Daichi said then took a deep breath to calm himself, "Naruto and I were just briefed on Jiraiya's mission. Turns out that Konoha is in a hell of a lot worse a shape than they originally thought. Their economy is on the brink of collapse, there military clout is all but non-existent and there are rumours of war at the hands of Iwa. Jiraiya was sent here to ask for help and… I'm inclined to agreeing"
"Daichi, you know we are forbidden from aiding in matters such as this. Only in times of absolute necessity are we allowed to interfere with our military you know the rules better than I do" Manami said.
"I know exactly what our laws do and do not dictate and I'm not talking about going in and eliminating the threat, we all know how easy that would be" Daichi said, "All I want to do is provide a boost to the economy. An economic trade alliance is not condemned by the Dai Shi Hogo"
"That seems reasonable" Manami said, "but why did Naruto storm off in such a huff?"
"You know what my policy is regarding trade and commerce is right?" Daichi said.
"Of course" Manami said with a smirk, "You are your father's son after all"
Daichi returned the smirk, "Then you know that I want to go there myself in order to discuss the trade agreement and finalise everything. I am a merchant by trade after all"
"As well as a Shinobi by blood and a Jinchuriki by lineage" Manami said, "But you still haven't answered my question"
Daichi sighed, "I wanted Naruto to come along, but I didn't get a chance to tell him why"
"And he refused" Manami said, completing the sentence, then stood in front of her son and place on hand on his shoulder and the other on his cheek, "Go talk to him, he loves you more than anything and I know it would kill both of you if things are left as they are and you leave for Konoha. I'm sure you have an excellent reason to have him come along and I'm sure he wants to hear it, he just needs convincing. His heart would follow you anywhere but right now his brain is reminding him of his past. Go. Talk to him"
Daichi simply gave a sad smile and nodded then ran off after his blond.
After Daichi left, Manami turned around and saw the apprehensive looks on everyone's faces. Manami gave a motherly chuckle, "Leave them be for now, they'll sort things out"
When Daichi found Naruto, he was on the 190th floor, which was the personal indoor training ground of the Jigokukage Household.
"Naruto?" Daichi called out as he entered the training room.
"RASENGAN!" Daichi heard before a loud explosion shook the room.
"Oh dear" Daichi muttered before he used Shunpo to move within Naruto's vicinity.
Daichi's eyes widened at the destruction the room had suffered at the hands of the angry blond.
"Normally I'd be impressed with this much destruction and would ask to join you, but right now there are more important things to worry about" Daichi said causing Naruto to turn around and glare angrily at his lover.
"Don't come near me" Naruto growled out.
"Naru"
"NO! I will not go back to that village!" Naruto shouted.
"I said nothing about going back; I just want you to come with me. Once our business is finished I will bloody well make sure you and I return to this city together. You are a ninja under my command" Daichi said
"NO! I am not going!"
"Will you at least listen to why I want you to come?" Daichi pleaded.
"NO!" Naruto yelled.
Daichi sighed, "Then will you at least come out of the crater?"
"NO! GO AWAY!"
"If you're not coming out then I'm coming in" Daichi said as he began stepping into the crater"
"GO AWAY!"
"Naruto" Daichi said as he started sliding down the side of the crater.
"I SAID GO AWAY!"
"Naru"
"RASENGAN!" Naruto yelled as he slammed the blue ball of chakra into Daichi's stomach.
When the dust from the explosion cleared, Naruto was shocked to see a large claw made of black chakra firmly gripping the chaotic ball of blue energy coming out of Daichi's abdomen.
When Naruto looked at Daichi, he saw a sad but loving smile on his face which turned annoyed when one of his eyes turned a deep slitted blue.
"Enough of this foolishness" Daichi said, it was Fubuki speaking through him, "Nephew, calm your host"
Suddenly one of Naruto's eyes turned a slitted red while the whisker marks on that side of the face became more prominent.
"Are you kidding" Naruto said in a voice not his own, "Not when there's this much entertainment"
"I will show you entertainment once I shove my tails down every single one of your orifices, you insolent pup" Fubuki growled.
Naruto's demonised eye twitched for a moment before it returned to its normal shade of blue while the Rasengan dissipated.
"Naruto" Daichi said softly once his eye returned to normal.
Naruto's eyes widened in horror as realisation hit him and he uttered a single phrase, "What have I done?"
"Naru" Daichi said and held out his hand when he saw Naruto backing away while slowly shaking his head, his eyes watering and his mouth moving, but producing no sound.
Naruto ran.
"Naru!… NARUTO!" Daichi called out then began chasing the blond.
"Naruto! Stop it's alright, I'm not angry!" Daichi called out.
Naruto kept running.
Daichi sighed; he knew he needed to resolve this soon.
Slowing down to a stop, Daichi activated his Mukogan, a few seconds later, Daichi made a single hand sign and whispered out, "Muton: Sokudo Koka"
Suddenly Daichi a black shadow enveloped his body before it shrunk out of existence.
Naruto kept running, tears streaming down his face and his mind wracked with guilt, he couldn't believe he had tried to hurt the one person who had cared for him, loved him and treated him like a normal human being.
Naruto was so preoccupied with his thoughts, that he never knew what hit him when Daichi appeared out of a black portal and tackled him to the ground, but not before Daichi spun himself and Naruto such that Daichi hit the ground while Naruto rested on top of Daichi's chest.
"No! NO!" Naruto yelled as he pounded on Daichi's chest, but was forced to stop when Daichi hugged him tight, one arm pressing Naruto's head into his chest, the other wrapped around his waist.
"Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh!" Daichi said soothingly, while Naruto cried into Daichi's chest, "It's alright. It's ok. I'm not angry. I'm not angry"
After a long while, Naruto calmed down enough to speak coherently and softly said, "I'm sorry"
"Shhhhhh" Daichi said as he smiled and pressed Naruto's head into his chest, "It's alright, there's no need to apologise"
"But I attacked you!" Naruto said with surprise.
Daichi smiled and stared deeply into Naruto's eyes, "You needed to vent. I would have been more worried if you didn't attack me. Just don't make a habit of it; I am strictly against domestic abuse"
Naruto gave a relieved sigh then rested his head against Daichi's chest such that his ear lay above Daichi's heart, "Don't worry, it will never happen again"
Daichi chuckled and started stroking Naruto's hair causing the blond to sigh contently.
"You calm?" Daichi asked.
"Um, Hm" Naruto mumbled.
"Are you at least willing to listen as to why I asked you to come with me?" Daichi asked.
Naruto hesitated for a moment before he sighed and mumbled out, "Fine"
"I want you to come because I need you by my side" Daichi said causing Naruto to look at him curiously, "Not only are you a former local who knows how the village works, but you will probably be the only one who would be able to stop me from burning that place to ground for what they did to you"
Naruto looked at Daichi with wide eyes.
"Don't get me wrong, I respect several people in the village especially those that did right by you, but that doesn't absolve the rest of them of their sins. If I were to go there alone I don't think I could hold myself back. I don't think I would be able to stop myself from drowning that village in its own blood"
"Do you really have to go in person?" Naruto asked as he tilted his head and resumed listening to Daichi's heart beat.
"Naruto, you know this is how the Sanzai family does things, we are a both a merchant family as well as a Shinobi one. We are all accountable for our actions, why send someone else to do what you are perfectly capable of doing yourself?" Daichi said, "Besides I have something big planned and I need Tsunade's assistance in working out the finer points of it all and normally I would share this information with you if it weren't for the guest we have in our midst"
Naruto furrowed his eyebrows in confusion but widened them when his senses provided the proper information to his brain.
"You know, from what Naruto's told me about you, peeking on two guys isn't your thing. Should I be raising questions as to why you have decided to switch sides or should I simply put you on the black list for every bathing house and gay bar in this city?" Daichi asked then tilted his head back when he heard and felt a pair of feet hit the ground.
"How did you know it was me?" Jiraiya asked.
"We could sense you" Daichi said.
"I was masking my chakra" Jiraiya pointed out.
"And a spectacular job you did of it. You were able to get within five metres of my person before I could pick you up. However, I detected you long before using an alternative method which I do not wish to disclose at the moment" Daichi said.
"That and you're the only person I know who smells of toad oil and floral bath salts" Naruto said then turned his head so that he could rest his chin on Daichi's chest and look at Jiraiya, "And before you ask, Daichi and I have lupine and vulpine Biju sealed within us, we have excellent senses of smell"
"You sure have changed a lot these past three years" Jiraiya said with a chuckle.
"That he most certainly has" Daichi said as he tried to get up only to find Naruto had turned into dead weight.
"Do you mind?" Daichi asked the blond onto of him.
"I wanna schnuggle" Naruto said causing Daichi to sweat drop and disappear in a swirl of black frost only to reappear standing next to Naruto who had hit the ground with a hefty thump.
"Ow" Naruto said as he stood up.
Daichi smirked then looked at Jiraiya, "So… to what do we owe the pleasure?"
"I uh… I wanted to check on the seal" Jiraiya said.
Daichi raised an eyebrow but decided not to question it, "The seal is fine, but I'm pretty sure you won't take my word for it"
Jiraiya chuckled lightly as he knelt in front of Naruto, who had lifted his shirt and moulded chakra without hand signs in order to show the seal, Daichi quickly sniffed back the emerging trickle of blood, damn that blond was hot.
"You definitely have changed, normally you would have had to form a hand seal and put in a ridiculous amounts of effort just to get the seal to show" Jiraiya said then began examining the seal.
"That's because my chakra control is perfect. Daichi made sure of that" Naruto said causing Daichi to smile.
"Oh! And how perfect is perfect?" Jiraiya asked.
"I can perform several Futon and Katon Jutsus with a single hand sign or no hand sign, I can perform the Kage Bunshin without the need for the hand sign, but for small numbers only, you know less than fifty" Naruto said casually causing Jiraiya to sweat drop at the last statement then furrow his brow at the first statement.
"Wait, Katon Jutsus? I would have thought you to have Suiton Chakra" Jiraiya said.
"Well it turns out that when I was born I had Futon as my first affinity and Suiton as my second, but after Kyuubi was sealed in me, his chakra sort of swapped the order of affinity making Katon my secondary affinity" Naruto said.
"Is that even possible?" Jiraiya asked.
"Of course! I mean look at me, my original affinities were Katon and Raiton, but after Fubuki was sealed within me, I ended up with Futon and Suiton as a joint primary affinity giving me access to Hyoton and Katon became my secondary" Daichi explained.
"I see" Jiraiya said, "and what about your other skills?"
"Well, Daichi's been teaching me Fuinjutsu, which turns out I'm awesome at, uh… I taught Daichi the Rasengan and not only can I do it one-handed, but we even came up with a few variations, outside the completed form of course" Naruto said.
"You completed the Rasengan?" Jiraiya said incredulously.
"It was pretty hard" Naruto said with a frown.
"But once we figured out a trick, it became a hell of a lot easier" Daichi.
"Although we don't need to use the trick anymore since all the practice we did made it irrelevant" Naruto said.
"However the side effects are a problem we still need to find a way around" Daichi said as he wrinkled his nose.
"Side effects?" Jiraiya said.
"Yes, a completed Rasengan has severe backlash that can be very harmful" Daichi said, "Naruto has had to re-grow the nervous system in his arm several times as well as treatment for severe burns. I've had to re-grow my arm after having it burned, shredded, crushed or simply fall off due to extreme frostbite"
Jiraiya cringed.
"And yet we keep on doing them" Naruto said with a cheeky smirk.
"That we do, but that's because there oh so much fun" Daichi said.
Jiraiya shook his head and continued to examine the seal.
After a while, Jiraiya frowned, "This seal is different than the one Minato used, what happened?"
"Took you long enough" Daichi said with a chuckle.
"I'll have you know that I am a very skilled seal master, most people would never have noticed the change, and it is extremely subtle" Jiraiya said as he stood up.
"It took Naruto five minutes and that was while he was looking at himself in the mirror" Daichi said with half lidded eyes.
Jiraiya's jaw dropped.
Naruto gave a nervous chuckle and rubbed the back of his neck.
"Okay…" Jiraiya said with a raised eyebrow, "What the hell does it do, 'cause I can't figure it out for the life of me"
Daichi smirked, "Naruto, would you care to enlighten us?"
Naruto popped his foxy grin, "It's a two-way, selective, chakra limitation matrix with a filtration sub-subsequence that's been tied in to the sub-structure of the base seal. In essence it lets me regulate the amount of Kyuubi's chakra I can release into or withdraw from my system"
"That's impossible" Jiraiya said, "No where do I see the necessary sealing sequences to make up the limitation and filtration matrices you just mentioned, Unless…"
Jiraiya quickly unsealed a special magnifying glass from a scroll and examined Naruto's seal again, eyes widening and jaw dropping.
"Micro-seals written into the main structure of the Shisho Fuin" Jiraiya said with awe.
"Exactly" Daichi said.
"But how? It's almost impossible to inscribe seals within seals and still retain structural integrity let alone cumulative functionality" Jiraiya said, "Believe me I've tried"
"Trust me it wasn't easy" Daichi said, "It took me three years of constant research using six thousand clones a day just to figure out the fact that the entire language of sealing fundamentally changes when you start taking things into multiple dimensions. Then it took me another two years to relearn Fuin-scripture in order to make stable and functional micro seals"
"Damn" Jiraiya said with a sigh.
After a pause, Daichi smirked and asked, "So… do you see any problems with the seal on my boyfriend's stomach?"
Jiraiya burst out laughing, "With the level of complexity you've put into this thing, I wouldn't be able to find one even if I tried"
"Good" Daichi said with a smirk.
"But I do have a question" Jiraiya said.
"Go ahead" Daichi said.
"How were you able to write in the micro-seals after the Shisho Fuin was already active? One of the basic laws of Fuinjutsu is that you never add to a seal once it has been activated, to do so would risk complete failure of the structural matrix" Jiraiya said.
"That's because I wrote them in when I reconstructed the Shisho Fuin" Daichi said.
"Excuse me?" Jiraiya said.
"Remember when I told you about purifying the Kyuubi?" Daichi asked.
"Yes" Jiraiya replied.
"Well, during the purification process there was an unforeseen hiccup. Turns out that Minato had left an imprint of himself when he sealed Kyuubi into Naruto. That imprint was activated when we tried to bypass the Shisho Fuin in order to extract Kyuubi's chakra and started to pull the chakra back into the seal, the end result, the Shisho Fuin collapsed" Daichi explained, "In the end I was forced to intervene by entering Naruto's mindscape and had to subdue the rampaging Kyuubi"
"Not to mention getting your face shaved off and getting stepped on" Naruto said with a miffed expression.
Jiraiya raised an eyebrow while Daichi chuckled nervously.
"Anyway~ after the Kyuubi had been subdued, Minato used half his chakra to heal me and the remainder to partially rebuild the seal. Once that was done, I used one of my special skills regarding Fuinjutsu to complete the reconstruction of the Shisho Fuin and added in the micro-seals" Daichi said.
"Impressive" Jiraiya said, "And I assume the purification was a success?"
"Absolutely" Daichi said with a smile.
"Wanna meet him?" Naruto said with a grin.
"Uhhh" Jiraiya said with a mild hint of fear spread across his face.
"Oh don't worry, Kyu's nothing but a big ol' cuddly fluff ball" Naruto said before a Kage Bunshin appeared next to him.
When the clone opened its eyes, they shifted to the familiar slitted red before the clone was engulfed in flames. When the flames dissipated, in the clone's place stood a tall man with lightly tanned skin and long crimson red hair that went down past his waist, a pair of blood red vulpine ears with black tips protruding out the top of his head and nine billowing blood red tails, also with black tips, emerging from the base of his spine. He had several piercings in his ears and an intricate tribal tattoo going down one arm, he wore a dark-brown leather vest over a white T-shirt and wore black bell sleeve trousers as well as black Shinobi sandals.
"Hey Kyuu-chan" Naruto said, causing him to duck when the man tried to whack him over the head.
"I told you not to call me that you insolent pest" Kyuubi said.
Jiraiya was shell shocked while Naruto was giggling like a five year old and avoiding all of Kyuubi's attempted swipes.
"As you can see they have a wonderful Tenant-Host relationship" Daichi stated.
"Honestly, my nephew can be such a child" A voice said and when Jiraiya looked, he saw a clone of Daichi step out from behind Daichi then turn into Fubuki in a swirl of snow and wind.
Jiraiya fell over backward when he saw the ten ash-grey tails and started stuttering like a man possessed.
Fubuki sighed, "Just once I would like someone to not turn into a blithering idiot when they see me for the first time. Honestly, if this is how they react when they see me in my human form, imagine how they would react if they saw me in my true form"
"Their hearts would probably explode" Daichi said with a snicker.
"Not funny" Fubuki growled out.
Jiraiya was still stuttering incoherently.
Fubuki sighed stood in front of Jiraiya, leaned forward and parted her top slightly in order to reveal a portion of her cleavage. This cause Jiraiya to calm instantly and start giggling perversely.
Fubuki sighed again, stood up straight, fixed her top then slapped Jiraiya across the face.
"What the hell was that for?" Jiraiya asked as he snapped out of his stupor.
"Be grateful you got away with a slap" Fubuki said, "Normally I would have torn your head off"
"She's done it too" Naruto said who was currently caught in a head lock at the hands of Kyuubi yet was grinning madly.
"PERISH!" Kyuubi yelled before he was suddenly blasted through a tree when an ash-grey tail smashed into his face.
Naruto was rolling on the ground in exuberant fits of laughter.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR YOU OLD BAT?" Kyuubi yelled as he sat up then cowered when Fubuki unleashed the full force of her K.I. upon him.
"Easy Fubuki" Daichi said as he placed a hand on his tenant's shoulder, "We really don't need you to make the saying 'If looks could kill' a fact"
Fubuki squinted her eyes at her nephew then calmed.
"I don't like being called old" Fubuki growled out.
"Of course you don't" Daichi said as Fubuki dispersed in a swirl of snow, returning to her place inside Daichi's stomach.
"That bitch is crazy" Kyuubi growled out then disappeared back into Naruto's stomach in a frantic puff of smoke when black chakra flared menacingly around Daichi.
"You people are mad" Jiraiya said with an exhausted sigh.
"You say it like it's a bad thing" Naruto quipped.
"It's a bad thing?" Daichi asked in mock shock.
Jiraiya groaned in exasperation, "I need a drink, and a sedative… followed by two more drinks"
"That can be arranged" Daichi said with an evil grin.
"I'll take your word for it" Jiraiya said and slowly got to his feet. With that Daichi, Naruto and Jiraiya returned upstairs where everyone else was waiting.
Later that night, Daichi and Naruto were relaxing in their indoor onsen, unwinding from the day's events.
While Daichi sat at the perimeter sipping his sake, Naruto was floating on his back in the middle of the large heated pool, spitting fountains of water into the air.
Daichi mentally drooled as his eyes soaked in his lover's chiseled physique and complete lack of clothing, damn that blond was seriously hot, blazing even, but right now was not the time.
"Naru?" Daichi said.
"Yeah?" Naruto replied.
"Could you… Could you come over here for a second?" Daichi asked.
Naruto didn't reply, but simply moulded chakra under his back and manipulated it to turn him around and propel him towards the older man.
Once Naruto was close enough, he let himself drop into the water and sat next to Daichi.
"You called?" Naruto said with a seductive grin.
Daichi sighed, "Naru I… I really need you to give me an answer"
Naruto's grin quickly turned into a frown, "You just had to bring it up, just as I finally was able to relax"
"I need to know now, so that I can make preparations" Daichi said.
"What preparations? You just need to make a clone and that's it" Naruto exclaimed.
"Naruto it's not that simple" Daichi said, "This is a much bigger mission than you think it is and I will be taking a full team, you are on that team as is Ichigo"
"ICHIGO?" Naruto spluttered, "Daichi what the hell are you planning?"
"I can't tell you" Daichi said.
Naruto glared at Daichi menacingly, "Daichi, you damn well better tell me what the hell is going on in that head of yours"
"I can't tell you" Daichi said as he pressed his fingers to Naruto's lips, "Because I don't know what the plan is yet, all I know is that it is big and I need to meet with Tsunade in order to make that plan. I may be the most powerful person in this city, heck the most powerful person this side of the Sekitsui Ryu Mountains but I am most definitely not omnipotent. This plan that I haven't conceived yet, I need help with it, a lot of help and the only person I can trust to provide that help is Tsunade. She is the only one with the power, the information, the knowledge, the resources and the experience. Besides the main reason I want you to tell me is because if you won't come, then I won't go"
"WHAT?" Naruto exclaimed.
"I won't go, it's as simple as that" Daichi said, "If you are not by my side than I won't go. I need you to keep an eye on me. I will not be able to stop myself from incinerating that village, but most of all I won't be able to stop myself from sticking a sword down that damn Uchiha's throat. That boy infuriates me more than anything"
"Just get Ichigo to keep an eye on you" Naruto said.
"Naruto, Ichigo may be my best friend, he may be the man who made me a Shinigami, he and his father may be the ones to teach me the ways of the Shinigami, but at the end of the day I'm still Ichigo's boss and he will have to back down if I order it" Daichi said.
Naruto glared at Daichi through half-lidded eyes and groaned in annoyance before snatching the cup of Sake from the man's hand and downing it.
"NARUTO THAT'S…" Daichi exclaimed then saw Naruto get a goofy grin and his cheeks turn rosy, "Sake and you can't hold your liquor very well, but you were quite aware of that weren't you"
Naruto nodded his head vigorously and gave an idiotic giggle.
Daichi suddenly gasped when he felt a hand wrap around his member.
Glaring at the intoxicated blond, Daichi said, "You will not get away with this"
"Oh but I already am *hic*" Naruto said as he continued to stroke his lover under the water causing Daichi to sigh contently.
Daichi groaned softly before placing a hand behind Naruto's head and pulling him into a deep passionate kiss.
Naruto giggled during the kiss, but continued his ministrations and once they parted; Daichi threw his head back and moaned loudly.
"Oh God you're good" Daichi panted out and continued to groan in pleasure.
Naruto didn't reply, but simply took a deep breath and dove his head underwater.
"OH FUCK!" Daichi exclaimed at the intense pleasure that ran through him then looked down to see Naruto's head bobbing up and down above his groin.
"Ohhhh God" Daichi said shakily as his hands came to rest on Naruto's head, "Yes, yessss"
Daichi continued to moan in bliss then gasped as water surrounded his arousal when Naruto released his and came up for air.
"Did you enjoy that?" Naruto asked with a goofy grin.
"Yes" Daichi gasped out as he continued to breathe heavily, his face flushed.
"Good" Naruto said as he straddled Daichi's hips, "'Cause you will love this"
Next Naruto lowered himself onto Daichi's painfully stiff rod, which slid right in, much to the raven-head's surprise.
Naruto giggled, "I loosened myself up while I was underwater"
"That was fast" Daichi said during a rare moment of clarity.
Naruto giggled again and leaned in close to Daichi's ear, "Chakra tends to do that" then moaned as he started impaling himself on his lover repeatedly.
"Oh God! Naru!" Daichi moaned then held Naruto's hips down as he hefted both himself and his lover out of the water and sat on the edge of the onsen.
Naruto moaned loudly as he wrapped his legs around Daichi's back while Daichi started thrusting into him again, hitting that special spot deep within his blond lover.
"Oh! Right there Daichi, right there! Harder! Fuck me harder!" Naruto moaned out.
Daichi readily complied and began moving Naruto's hips to meet his thrusts causing the blond to cry out loudly at the deliciously intense pleasure.
The duo continued their love making for a long while until they started reaching their climax.
"Ohhhh~ Daichi! I'm close, I'm so close" Naruto moaned out.
"Me… me too" Daichi replied as he increased his speed.
"Ohhh~ God! Daichi! Daichi! DAICHI!"
"NARU!"
As the couple came down from their orgasmic high, Daichi lowered himself and Naruto back into the heated water in order to clean up, however Naruto refused to move, enjoying the feeling of his lover buried deep within him.
Half an hour later, Naruto lifted his head off Daichi's shoulder and pressed his forehead against the older man's then sighed contently.
"I'm coming" Naruto said softly.
"What, again!" Daichi said with surprise, "I haven't even done anything!"
Naruto chuckled and gave Daichi long kiss, "I'm coming as in I'm coming with you to Konoha, baka"
"Ohhhh~" Daichi said, "That makes sense"
Naruto chuckled again then gasped when Daichi took hold of his member.
When Naruto looked at Daichi, the man had a seductively evil grin on his face and said, "Ready for Round Two"
"Well…" Naruto said but was cut off when Daichi lifted himself and Naruto out of the water and laid the blond on his back along the bathroom floor.
"It wasn't a question" Daichi said seductively then leaned in close to capture Naruto's lips.
