Chapter 10: Strategy, Laughter and Flowers
As Naruto and Shikamaru were heading home the later had many questions about Naruto's presence, what is a Sage doing there? What was he looking for? Why traveling and visiting different clans? Shikamaru was aware of the Sage's great power and skill and was always told that no Sage ever left their homes without a good reason.
Yet Naruto seemed to confuse him, for a Sage he looked like he couldn't keep a secret for long and though his power was evident, in the way he broke through the Shadow Vale branches with ease, he actually believed mythical creatures were trying to get him.
"Say Naruto had you ever left your home before?"
"Nop, my father just picked me up one day, gave me this pack and kicked me out from Myoboku saying to go explore the world and make any dream of mine come true"
"Wow, can't see my dad kicking me out like that, well my mom would but probably tell me to don't come back unless I bring a wife or something…troublesome"
Naruto was staring at him with a confused look.
"What? It's rude to stare at people!"
"You said your mom, what is a mom?"
Shikamaru couldn't believe his ears he actually didn't knew what a mom was?
"Well my Mom is the person who married my dad and gave birth to me, she is tough, bossy and screams a lot but sometimes my dad says she is gentle and caring in her own way"
"Your father must have gotten married at some point and your mother gave birth to you, don't you know your mother?"
"Well no, at least not my human one now that you mention it I only had Ma-chan, and she is a toad from Myoboku"
"Father always spoke of meeting many women but never spoke of anyone in particular, he claims to be a Super pervert"
Shikamaru tripped over that piece of information, so probably his mom was one of the many his father slept with and gave him away, sad but at least he took responsibility.
"Don't sweat it, you came along just fine I think"
"You think? Thanks! It means a lot coming from someone with a mother!"
Shikamaru felt horrible but at least he seemed joyful all the time so perhaps his upbringing was for the best.
The two youngsters finally reached Shikamaru's home were Naruto was terrified to find deer's similar to those on the forest; Shikamaru calmed him down saying that those deer's were specially trained to act as sentinels and help the border guards keep the northern forest clear form intruders. He also took the chance to explain that the Shadow Vale trees were also part of the defenses since its short height and intricate branches made them impossible to navigate quickly and kept any intruder on the ground.
Naruto finally calmed down but always kept an eye on the deer's, he would never trust one of those in his life.
As they entered the large house, Shikamaru's mother was immediately in front of Shikamaru screaming.
"There you are you lazy bum, your shift in the border ended 7 hours ago and you promised you would help training the new deer's with your father!"
"Mind telling me where were you the whole day!"
"During patrol and intruder tried to trespass, me Ino and Chouji captured him and brought him for questioning…"
"Yeah sure like someone was so dumb to actually enter the northern border and get so further inside so you needed help from those two"
Naruto seeing that his new found friend was apparently getting in trouble because of him decided to help out.
"Actually ma'am it's true, you see I am the intruder" said a sheepish Naruto.
At this she grabbed a crossbow from under a table and fired at Naruto who managed to catch it while sweating bullets
"Mom! He just got lost in the northern forest, he is foreign to the Land of Fire and got scared up there and since he is too skilled it took us a time to catch him.
Once hearing the story, said lady reloaded the cross bow and hid it once again and smiling said "Oops my bad!"
Naruto still holding the bolt was very afraid of said woman, are all moms are this scary?
"Forgive her she just let the situation get to her head quickly" Naruto nodded but still very uncertain
"Anyway Mom, this is Naruto and as apology for the inconveniences I invited him over to stay for the night, you don't mind right?
"But of course Shikamaru! It's been so long since you brought friends to spend the night"
"By the way I am Yoshino Nara, mom to this lazy bum and wife to an even greater one"
She bowed as she said this and excused herself to make dinner.
Naruto for some reason felt more at ease when she introduced herself and talked about her son and husband, she insulted them but at the same time felt as if she really loved them.
"Moms are weird"
"Tell me about it"
Once dinner was over and Naruto had explained who he was and where he came from, Yoshino was very glad she got the chance to meet a Sage and begged him to implement some Jutsu on her son to make him less lazy and get a girlfriend already. Naruto and Shikamaru headed over to take a rest for the night; Naruto appreciated the kindness and headed over to his assigned room he noticed that Yoshino came to Shikamaru's room and gave him a kiss on his cheek and hugged him.
Naruto smiled and thought that having a mom must be nice sometimes.
xoxoxoxo xoxoxoxo xoxoxoxo xoxoxoxo xoxoxoxo xoxoxoxo xoxoxoxo xoxoxoxo xoxoxoxo
Next morning Naruto went early down stairs and noticed the large yard that had several training targets and posts, it has been a while since the last time he trained so taking the chance decided to give it a try, he hoped they wouldn't mind.
When Shikamaru woke up after his mother's scolding to get down for breakfast both heard a noise coming from the training yard; as they got there they were shocked to see several shirtless Narutos spread out the yard practicing different things, two were on target practice, two were in hand to hand combat, two were sparing with his tri-kunai, two were practicing wind and water elemental jutsus and one was sitting meditating.
When the one meditating noticed the new arrivals all the clones stopped and dispelled themselves.
Shikamaru and Yoshino were beyond surprised, they heard of the Sages skill but to train so many arts at the same time was mind blowing not to mention the chakra requirements needed for such training.
"He, sorry for the ruckus but it has been a while since I last trained properly and your yard was begging for me to use it; hope you don't mind"
Both Naras only nodded still amazed that a young person could have such skills, indeed looks can be deceiving.
After breakfast Shikamaru realized he needed to learn more of the young Sage so he decided to get him into one of his favorite activities besides sleeping or cloud gazing, chess (I know it's shogi but I know squat about it so bear with me)
Naruto was excited, he had never played something with another person besides Jiraiya, and being chased down for survival training hardly qualifies as a game.
As they seated Naruto was a bit disappointed they wouldn't be outside playing like he thought they would but the chessboard and the little figurines quickly caught back his attention.
Shikamaru anticipated Naruto to not know what chess was so he took time (rather a long time) to explain him the rules and finally begin their game, he would go easy on him since this was an information gathering exercise.
"So Naruto the main point in this game is strategy, as I explained before every piece on the board has different movement ranges and functions, given their position you can eliminate other pieces, the main goal here is to take out the adversary's king or leave it without chance to escape, in the end that is the only way to win"
"Ok, I think I understand let's give it a try!"
Naruto started the game moving a pawn when Shikamaru started to make conversation.
"Say Naruto, you said your father told you to find a dream and make it true, have you found what that dream is?"
As Naruto made another move he answered
"Not sure yet, I mean I have been in this lands for little time and though a lot has happened I am still not clear on what could I achieve"
"Given your strength and skill making your dream true shouldn't be too difficult"
"Don't think so, maybe I am strong but I am still very inexperienced and that has brought me a lot of pain before…"
Shikamaru noticed his sudden change in mood
"Would like to tell me?"
"Well on my first real ninja mission a young partner died and I believe it was my fault because I didn't followed my instructions to the letter out of fear and doubt, this gave the enemy a chance and she is now dead because of me"
"Well we are taught to expect the unexpected in missions, anything could have gone wrong you can't cast blame upon yourself for that incident"
"If I had followed my instructions to the letter there wouldn't have been need to worry, I failed her and all she wanted was to live peacefully among the forests"
"I made one of my priorities to stop such tragedies whenever I could but I see the ninja world is filled with lots of things I don't grasp well yet"
"So basically you want people to stop killing each other, sounds nice but not everyone wishes that you know?"
"Some people desire conquest, others glory and fame, others do it for vengeance and quite many for the sick pleasure of it" "There are as many motivators as people on the ninja clans"
"I know that, I have met several ninja so far and they are radically different, some are direct (Sakura) and others are quite clever and subtle (Kitara)"
"But never the less I don't want tragedies like Riku's to happen again"
Shikamaru nodded convinced of this, so he decided to give some insight
"Ok Naruto consider that goal as your definitive victory in this game, you are the king in his quest for victory but you are not being plunged against one opponent but many in this board, all of them playing against you and each other and with full sets of pieces at their disposal, from your perspective and having explained the rules, what would your strategy be to even begin your game?"
Naruto considered it, one against many that at the same time are against each other.
"The only way I see it from my perspective is to defeat them all one by one"
Shikamaru nodded moving another piece
"A simple sound plan, but you are only one, in time they will overwhelm you or perhaps they will use your victories to crush the other adversaries; that would only cause more loss of pieces since not all players are equally skilled"
"What pieces?"
"The pieces represent, the ninja, the civilians, the scouts, the assassins, and the leaders a clan possesses; the more you play the more you lose"
Shikamaru nodded to the discarded pieces at one side of the board.
Naruto stopped and stared at the pieces, indeed those were the battle pieces he has been using, and he had already lost quite a number of them, in the ninja clan point of view those discarded pieces were the ninja that perished in battle at their clan's service, Riku was one of them.
Shikamaru saw that Naruto's will to continue playing faltered so he stopped playing and gave his advice.
"Whatever your dream turns out to be Naruto remember that sacrifice is necessary, victory as all things worth in this life demands sacrifice and the will to don't stop until you achieve it"
Naruto seemed depressed over the fact that whatever his dream would be, in the end a lot of sacrifices would be needed.
Shikamaru placed a hand on his shoulder
"Still, your wish of stopping the tragedies seems very nice, if you ever realize how to do it, count me in, it would be nice to have more time to watch the clouds without worrying about the next war coming up"
Naruto smiled at this, he was the first person to believe in his dream even if it didn't have shape yet.
"Shikamaru, why do you believe that I could ever achieve my dream?"
"You were raised away from all this world, you see our ways in a very different light, perhaps that gives you the chance to change them for good, and your power as a Sage gives you a great advantage already"
Smiling even more he just said "Thanks buddy!"
"No problem, just make sure you device a good plan, I don't want to die needlessly"
xoxoxoxo xoxoxoxo xoxoxoxo xoxoxoxo xoxoxoxo xoxoxoxo xoxoxoxo xoxoxoxo xoxoxoxo
Outside the Nara main household Chouji had been curious about the Sage, he was told that they hold all kinds of wisdom; perhaps he could give some advice on certain "issues".
"Hey Shikamaru stop hogging the Sage all for yourself you have border duty again so I will escort him the rest of the day"
Both Naruto and Shikamaru came to greet the large youngster, Shikamaru gave one piece of advice to Naruto, "Unless you want to know a new definition of pain you won't call him Fat or Fatty, not even by accident; he (and his family for that matter) is too sensitive about it"
Naruto nodded and waved good bye to Shikamaru and started walking with Chouji. They travelled a good distance through the city while Naruto admired the craftsmanship of the buildings they looked really strong with those cool volcanic rock foundations
"Yeah my ancestors built them when they first settled in the valley, thanks to our special Jutsu that allows us to enlarge our body parts or entire bodies if needed, moving heavy object was a breeze, that's how we fortified the valley"
"Wow must have been incredible to watch all those giants moving boulders all day long"
"Sure have been"
"One question though, not all ninja clans seems to get along nicely actually they look like they are more willing to kill each other, how come 3 ninja clans share the same land and city?"
"Oh that's one of my favorite stories, you see according to legend my people came from the northwest a long time ago after a drought left them with no choice but to move, they travelled far and long to the south until they found the western entrance of the valley here in the Land of Fire and started settling, we thought that the valley had an excellent defendable position so that the entire valley would belong to us"
"But apparently we had arrived to the valley just a few months later after the Yamanakas and the northern forest in which you got lost was already inhabited by the Naras; soon after our clans started to fight for control of the entire valley, but our differences in ability and fighting style made us end up in a stalemate with no clear victor"
"Some years after the fighting began a large invasion force launched by the Uchiha advanced into the valley, the Uchiha and their alleys proved to be too many and ruthless for a single clan to contain so facing certain annihilation and the loss of our newfound homes, Shikamaru's, Ino's and my own ancestors made a pact to fight back together the Uchiha; losses were terrible but victory was ours in the end"
"Our ancestors then realized that we were in the middle of great powers in the Land of Fire and our position was very strategic, continued infighting would only guarantee our destruction; so they made an oath of brotherhood to forever stand united and protect this wonderful valley"
"We built the three great gates and walls standing on the entrances of the Valley, The Yamanakas designed the city and other settlements and the Nara designed our battle strategies and kept guarding the northern forest"
"Ever since we live peacefully among each other and stand strong even if our numbers pale in the face of other clans"
Naruto had tears on his eyes once again and told Chouji that that's how the entire world should be.
Chouji agreed but then again reality was much harsher, he knew that clans like the Hyuga and the Uchiha would never join hands and ride into the sunset, too much bad blood for such petty things.
Chouji decided to give Naruto one of his most valued life experiences, the joy of food and meanwhile ask everything he could; his dad always said to listen to the more experienced people and a Sage must be experienced in many things.
"Hey Naruto would you like something for lunch, my mom owns a small BBQ restaurant and it's the world's best food you will come to get ever!"
Naruto always got hungry after a good workout so he quickly agreed to go.
On the path to the restaurant they came across a large construction area were a new sector of the city was being built, a large tower was being built as this new sector was facing north were the most weakened border was. As they passed on of the levers carrying large granite blocks to the summit broke and left the cargo to fall down straight towards a group of workers who wouldn't escape in time.
Chouji tried to transform as quickly as he could but Naruto beat him to it, his speed was insane and had a blue sphere in each hand as he quickly connected both spheres to the boulders that became rock dust in an instant.
Everyone was shocked, especially Chouji who clearly underestimated a Sage's power, with only two hands he pulverized two large granite blocks in seconds; he realized that if Naruto had decided to fight him on the valley he would have had a similar fate.
Naruto checked everyone to see if they were ok, all he got were quick nods from astonished workers, but the dense atmosphere quickly dissolved when Naruto's belly decided to declare its demands.
No one laughed until Naruto started laughing himself, he had scary powers but clearly had a good heart, Chouji definitively thought of him as a good friend candidate for him and the people of Three Peaks.
After the incident Chouji and Naruto finally arrived to the BBQ restaurant, it was easily one of the largest buildings in the city though Chouji said it was small.
They were greeted by Choza Akimichi, Chouji's father and currently one of the valley's triumvir's leaders, and his wife Chisa who also happened to be the main chef.
Several Akimichi sat along Naruto and Chouji as they waited for their orders to be served.
"So Naruto my boy tells me you came from the Senju forest, did those "tree huggers" treated you well?" asked Choza
Naruto remembering his experiences, and particularly how well Tsunade and Sakura treated him, answered while blushing a little
"Well I don't have complains and were quite friendly"
Every Akimichi knew what that blushing meant and started laughing as hard as they could.
"Seems the young Sage is stuff of all kind of legends, HA HA HA!" "So tell us boy who did you scored with, you are among men so no worries!"
"Ah, I rather not answer that one, father said it's rude to presume your conquests (though he did all the time)"
"Aw common boy it's not like you actually bedded Tsunade Senju!"
At this Naruto went completely red
All the Akimichi and the whole restaurant went mute; the boy had actually managed to pull a miracle!
Breaking the weird silence Choza spoke up "Well seems like this age was blessed with a Sage that performs miracles!" "A toast for the greatest MAN to ever visit us! CHEERS!"
Everyone cheered and continued eating, after all most of the patrons were men and knew that if this got out the young sage's life would be a short one, women would gossip about it though.
Finally the food was brought before them; entire racks of meat were present and the grills to cook them were boiling.
"Naruto thought the food looked a bit uncooked but Chouji taught him how to prepare the food; Naruto was ecstatic and soon was eating at the same pace as the other Akimichi, to say the Sage was impressive was an understatement, it seemed like nothing was away from his reach or skill, even eating."
As the food was running out a tense moment arrived when the Akimichi stared at the last piece of food left, the sacred last piece!
All the Akimichi stared at each other waiting for the first move to be made, meanwhile Naruto wondered what was the issue as everyone got serious, he didn't minded though and proceeded to take the last bite, he didn't knew when he would eat this good again so he hoped they wouldn't mind (If you had a god watching over you, he clearly closed his eyes for a second)
"Ah, that was absolutely the best meal I have had in a while, thanks Chouji it was great…" Naruto realized he was being watched by every Akimichi and patron in the restaurant, he also noticed Chouji's mom signaling him to leave as soon as possible.
"How could you! The last piece of food is the most delicious one, it was meant to me!"
"Sorry son but as father and leader it was my honor"
"Hey Choza, on off duty we are all equals!"
And so the quarreling soon began into a brawl as every Akimichi jumped on each other discussing who had the right to eat the last piece. Chisa took Naruto away in time before getting pounded
"Sorry dear but they will be at it for a while; I hope you enjoyed your meal and wish you a good night"
Naruto quickly stepped out from the restaurant as a Nara was launched through a window and quickly returned into the restaurant, apparently the Nara and Yamanaka patrons also entered the brawl; he could watch that though they were fighting must of the people had a smile on their faces, like good brothers a good fight every now and then helped cement their bonds.
He smiled as night began to fall on the city, he decided to take a small stroll before returning to Shikamaru's place after all he wouldn't be back until late.
xoxoxoxo xoxoxoxo xoxoxoxo xoxoxoxo xoxoxoxo xoxoxoxo xoxoxoxo xoxoxoxo xoxoxoxo
As Naruto walked slowly enjoying the views from the city, he noticed he had entered a different sector of the city, quickly the scent of flowers reached him as most of the buildings had white and purple colorings along with some golden lines. Buildings here were more refined than those in the Akimichi sector though also had the volcanic stone foundations.
Every building had flowers on pots or their roofs; he thought Sakura would like to take a walk around here.
The people on this sector were mostly of platinum blonde hair like Ino and had pale eyes of different colors; their constitutions seemed slimmer than that of the Akimichi and smoother than that of the Nara.
As he continued enjoying the sights a couple of hands snaked behind him and grabbed him by the waist. Naruto freaked out and jumped up on to a light post.
"Ha Ha Ha, who would have thought a Sage could be scared so easily" said a now giggling Ino as Naruto descended.
"That wasn't nice you know? Especially after the mind probing thing" said a pouting Naruto
"You are still upset about that? All I did was watch your most recent memories I didn't went deeper than that"
"Still that is an invasion of my privacy, what if I had a really private memory I didn't needed anyone to see?"
"Don't worry even if I did saw something, it's one of my clan's rules to never reveal what we learn, unless it threatens the Valley, me or a comrade"
"Really? Wow that's a relief"
"That doesn't mean I didn't saw something intimate though"
"Hey…" Naruto tried to reply but was cut by Ino's fingers on his lips
"Tell you what, let me compensate you; I will give you a night tour of the city, I bet Shika was too lazy to get out from his home and Chouji took you straight to that BBQ restaurant"
"Wow you seem to know them well"
"Of course, we three are the next leaders of our clans and as our parents and ancestors we have been raised together, almost as brothers and sister" "These silver earrings are proof of our bond"
"That's very cool Ino! Maybe I could build a bond like that someday"
Ino looked at the Sage, she remembered his memories, he had a father but no mother, his family was a bunch of disgusting toads, and his encounter with Tsunade and Sakura were more of lovers and friends; what was missing and he actually wanted was a real brother or sister.
Subconsciously this meant he longed for more human contact, and the need of belonging a child feels when he witness others bonds.
As Ino was immersed in her thoughts Naruto appraised her; she was wearing a short purple kimono with flower patterns all over it and a golden sash around her, her long hair was combed straight and had a nice make up that made her look more elegant along with a golden hair brooch.
Naruto remembered that Jiraiya once said that women who take the time to dress particularly well wants to be praised for that, it was a good manners thing.
Ino was brought back when Naruto waved a hand in front of her.
"Sorry, I spaced out for a moment there"
Naruto surprised her by extending his arm and saying "You look really pretty tonight"
"Will you give me that tour now?
Ino blushed intensely at that, it has been a long time since someone tried to court her; mostly because she was a clan heir, could read minds, and turned quickly into a raging nagging monster whenever she was with Shikamaru and Chouji.
"O-Of course! And thanks it's very kind of you" answered Ino as she latched herself to Naruto's strong arm.
They continued down the streets as Ino pointed out all the different flowers and buildings of the Yamanaka sector. She was very pleased at Naruto's great interest in flowers, he always stopped to smell them and feel their texture but never picking them.
Naruto was also interested in how the mind jutsus worked. She answered that basically the mind Jutsu is actually a two way genjutsu were the caster places itself in a similar trance as the receiver, as both chakra networks start to share chakra, that's where the link is established and memories and thoughts can be shared; the advantage of the Yamanaka in such trance was their preparation and the fact that they are aware of the Jutsus workings.
But it also had it risks, an unprepared mind walker could be overwhelmed by the memories of the victim resulting in mental disorders like adopting the victims behaviors or even some of it's memories.
It took years of training and psychology lessons to face the depths of a human mind; an unstable mind walker was a risk to both himself and the receiving person.
Naruto now saw that Ino was much braver than he thought, he had first thought of that skill as a cheap shot to acquire info but now saw that it was incredibly dangerous.
As their little "unplanned date" continued, they had entered a large park with tons of different flowers, it was truly one of the most amazing things Naruto had seen so far (Not that he had seen many)
"Ino, why is your clan so fond of flowers?" said Naruto as he kept looking at the park's display.
"Well it's not only that they are beautiful and smell good, for us they are a remainder of the people's life experiences, their memories"
"Each and everyone are different, even if they are of the same kind, no flower is the same and no flower blooms identically twice; they represent thoughts of love, regret, anger, hatred, joy, sadness, envy and so on"
"People's emotions and memories blooms all the time like this park and as mind walkers we have to be respectful of those thoughts, even our enemies as they were born human like us"
"So that's the story of why we are so fond of them"
Naruto looked pensive as in taking all these lessons to heart, people's thoughts are fragile you should always be respectful of them even if you don't agree, that way you could probably avoid many unnecessary battles.
Ino once again took Naruto's arm and continued down the park to the spot she had picked some years ago for a very special thing (you thought she dressed nice and suddenly stumbled on Naruto without a reason?)
As they stopped in the middle of a large bed of golden Chrysanthemums, Ino turned around and seductively placed her arms around him as she leaned on him.
Naruto went stiff but thought that she really smelled nice, so he started to get in the mood (he is a free man afterall)
"Say Naruto do you know Sakura Haruno from the Senju?"
"How did you knew?"
"Well, when I went into your mind she was one of your most vivid memories, and I have to say I am a bit jealous"
"You see, she and I have been friendly rivals for the past 10 years when we met at the armistice signing, she used to be this meek shy little girl with a large forehead, and she had started training under Tsunade at the time"
"I was full of confidence back at the day for my ninja training was going well, I was leader of our small trio and thought to be the prettiest girl in the armistice signing ceremony"
"I saw Sakura hiding away from the other boys who made fun of her, so I talked my friends (force them) to scare them away; and afterwards we became good friends"
"As time passed on during the negotiations, I helped her to earn more confidence and convinced her that hiding her forehead was only pointing out how large it was; after that she rarely hid her forehead anymore"
"One day we were playing ninja so we got into small spars with each other; she surprised me with her skill for melee combat and her already monstrous strength"
"Afterwards her confidence seemed to multiply tenfold and soon was leading the games, but being the center of attention back at the time I didn't stepped down so easily so we constantly clashed in these games pushing each other to be better than the other"
"By the time she left with her Sensei she was a different person she seemed bigger in so many aspects, so I made the promise to also improve myself and never let her be over me"
At this Ino walked a little onto the flower bed.
"But as time passed on she only grew stronger, more skilled, taller and more beautiful; in a sense she became a wonderful and mighty Sakura tree"
"While I certainly improved overtime, I was nowhere near Sakura's skill and strength; I remained a small delicate flower that won't reach high and only calls for a little attention from the passerby's"
"But I always held in pride that at least I was more attractive to men, at least one thing that I always had the upper edge; but upon witnessing your memories I see that is no longer the case, once again she has surpassed me"
Naruto truly didn't knew what to say did Ino really felt that inferior to Sakura, true Sakura was impressive in many ways but he never thought people could be so conscious of their failings in front of others.
"Ah Ino I am truly at a loss here, I wish I could help you but honestly I don't know how, I can't train you since I have to continue my journey, your skill aren't like Sakura's but you and her are different you can't really compare each other, your mind walking Jutsus are amazing and sound impossible to perform, even for me a Sage!"
"As for being pretty well, you are incredibly beautiful already, you can't compare a tree with a flower, they have beauty of their own, and each is wonderful"
Ino felt her cheeks going red, it really felt nice to be courted, but she had a pinky to get even with!
Turning slowly and undoing her golden sash as she slid her kimono to her shoulders.
Naruto gulped soundly not liking (well kind of liking) were this was going; "eh Ino your clothes are a bit loose, you need me to turn around?" as he continued eyeing her now exposed back as Ino had moved her long hair aside
"Not at all Naruto, you just said so yourself, trees and flowers have beauty of their own, so please tell me which is mine"
At this she turned around and had the kimono barely hanging from her just covering her chest and between them you could see her panties.
LEMON ALERT!! (YAY!)
Ino moved closer to Naruto who was very nervous, not knowing what was going on he remained still.
Ino giggled a bit, he actually made nervous the man who had a threesome for his first time! (jealous?)
She closed the distance and let her kimono drop the moment she embraced Naruto.
"Naruto would you love me the same way you did Sakura? She was loved first and with such intensity that no man can compare to, It was such a wild thing I saw in your mind"
"Please have me in the same way; I will let you do me anything you want"
As Ino continued her assault, Naruto was getting hot and hard but he managed to control himself a bit.
"Ino this isn't right, you barely know me! ; you should do this with someone more worthy!"
Ino moved back a little barely covering her chest with one arm and smiling replied.
"If Sakura deemed you worthy of her then you are more than worthy of me, In your mind I couldn't see anything dark, it was all bright and full of life, full of joy and wonder"
"You said you wanted to help me, so help me like this, and witness my own beauty"
At this she kissed him lightly as she embraced him.
Naruto lost his control and started to return the kiss more aggressively; as he squeezed Ino's ass she yelped but had her mouth invaded by Naruto's tongue drowning her in the most passionate kiss of her life.
Ino couldn't believe how good it felt, she expected him to be good given how he slept with two of the strongest women in the world, but this was mind blowing. She was a virgin in body but was an avid reader of romantic novels and even gave a try to Jiraiya's books; she knew the mechanics but was still untouched by a man.
As Naruto parted his way to breath, he tripped Ino and both fell on the flower bed. He started to undress removing his cloak and shirt revealing his chest to Ino who blushed madly at that.
Naruto took his time to apprise Ino who was lying half naked under him, this made Ino to be conscious of her state and shyly tried to cover her body but Naruto grabbed her arms and held them over her head. Ino was lost in the intense stare Naruto was giving her body, she wanted to be kissed again but Naruto had other ideas.
He started to brush his face against Ino's body, her flat stomach, her breasts, her neck, her face and lastly above her panties.
Ino was moaning lightly at the brief sensations Naruto gave her as he continued exploring her but yelped when Naruto gave a hard squeeze to her left breast and a long lick to her nipple before kissing her deeply once again.
Naruto parted with her and lowly spoke.
"You want to continue? I f you say yes I won't stop even if you beg me…"
Ino barely registered his words
"Yes! Yes! More give me more!"
"Heh, as you wish"
At this he left go of her arms and started to massage her breasts while licking her nipples, Ino only could grab Naruto's hair moving with him as he switched breasts.
Naruto wanted more so he slowly slid his hands all the way down and began rubbing her cunt over her panties. Ino wanted to scream but she rather bit on Naruto's shoulder which in turn only got him more aroused and rubbed harder. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
Ino finally came from Naruto's ministrations and didn't noticed when Naruto pulled down his pants and presented her with his large cock. Ino was dumbfounded, it was bigger than she expected but wouldn't give up.
Seeing Ino's hesitation he took her hand and made her grab his cock while making slow stroking movements. Ino took the hint and squeezed a bit harder which got a small groan from Naruto that made her smile, so she continued stroking him.
Naruto got tired of the stroking and said
"Use your imagination Ino, I need more"
Ino just loved that low voice of his and started to rub her nipples against his cock, he was in bliss as he got more comfortable in a sitting position while Ino worked with him.
Ino tried several things that got him more pleased but he wasn't near a release yet; so she gathered courage and gave him a long hard lick through his entire shaft, this got him to moan and encouraged Ino to continue down that path.
Ino kept licking him in several places, near his balls, the tip, everywhere but he just wouldn't have an orgasm. Ino decided to try sucking, she just took the tip but Naruto pushed her head deeper as he got impatient.
Ino took the initiative and started sucking and licking him, this time she would make him cum. Ino kept bobbling her head up and down at different speeds and just knew that Naruto was very near, he only needed one more small push, so remembering one of Jiraiya's books she began to hum causing a vibration to go all over his cock.
Naruto groaned louder this time and pushed Ino all the way down his cock as he finally started to cum in her mouth and throat.
Ino was surprised and since the cum was quickly filling her mouth and Naruto didn't let go of her head she began to swallow it.
It tasted better than she expected and did managed to get all of it down, but was surprised when Naruto got hard again in her mouth. Naruto stood up while still inside Ino's mouth and began to face fuck her as hard as he could, wanting a second release, Ino was gaggling but couldn't do anything to stop Naruto and she just breathed whenever she could.
A minute passed and Naruto pushed Ino down again as he came more furiously in her throat, she started swallowing by instinct.
Naruto finally let go Ino who just dropped on the flowers panting; Naruto positioned himself above her and once again spoke lowly, "Sorry for the rudeness but I can barely contain myself, now if you don't mind I am going to continue"
Naruto grazed her body with his hands as they descended to grab her panties and began pulling them. Ino weakly tried to stop him but all modesty was far gone, and only his lust remained.
Ino's pussy had a thin strip of blonde hair above her bright pink wet clit.
"Very nice Ino, very nice, you seem ready down here but I want to keep playing a little longer"
At this Ino began to moan loudly and continuously as Naruto kept eating her out making her feel pleasure like never before, stuck his tongue in, he rubbed and bit her clit countless times.
Ino just kept getting near her release but every time Naruto stopped before she could come.
Almost screaming Ino told him to stop messing around and let her have it. Chuckling Naruto told her "As you wish Ino…"
Ino closed her eyes and just felt something terribly large positioning itself in her entrance, she watched as Naruto was getting ready to enter her and before she could tell him to stop he started to slowly penetrate her; this gave Ino her orgasm but Naruto made it longer as he just kept advancing into Ino who moaned incoherent stuff.
"Say Ino did you liked that?"
"God, it was incredi!"
Before she could finish Naruto began to move again in a steadily increasing rhythm as Ino just gasped and tried to moan.
He kept pounding her harder and harder as she was becoming more accustomed to his size by coming over and over.
Naruto finally felt himself getting there so he slowed down and as he started to go deeper he asked into Ino's ear
"Ino, may I come inside of you?"
Ino barely managed to reply "Yes, fuck yes come inside me! I placed the birth control Jutsu before I stripped"
Naruto grinned and pushed as hard as he could into Ino as he started to fill her womb with his cum, Ino came immediately after this and clamped on Naruto milking him to the last drop.
As they both were lying down panting Naruto spoke in her ear.
"You are bad girl; you had this planned from the very beginning didn't you?"
At this he started to get hard again as he moved slowly inside her.
Ino wanted it to go faster but Naruto demanded her an answer.
"Ok, yes I planned it"
"Why?"
"Because Sakura had you and I wanted to have the same pleasure!"
"You just won't let her have a small victory do you?"
"Ah, I wouldn't call it a small victory, but she is already ahead of me in so many ways at least with this I get a bit closer! Fuck me faster"
"At least you were honest, then I will give you something nice"
Naruto pulled out from Ino who in turn almost punched him, but Naruto turned her around and rammed her pussy from behind.
"Ahhh, fuck! So deep! Keep going! I am close now!"
"Heh Heh, me too, were do you want it!"
"Inside!"
At this Naruto started pounding her harder and faster than before and lifting her by the legs he pushed once more as deeply as he could and came inside her again
Ino let out a barely audible moan as she reached her strongest orgasm so far.
LEMON END (shameT.T)
Naruto took Ino to a pond in the park to wash her since she couldn't move her legs and was still in a daze; Naruto cleaned both of them and returned to the Chrysanthemum bed were he lay with Ino in his arms.
"Hey Ino?"
"Mmm?"
"Do you want to sleep here?"
"Yeah, it smells nice"
"Very well, will you be there when I wake up this time?"
"This time I promise"
"Good night Ino"
"Good night Naruto…"
As Ino drifted over to sleep Naruto was wondering what had happened, he couldn't believe his own actions and words as he had sex with Ino, it was like he became a different person.
"Damn Jiraiya and his pervy books, they got to me stronger than I thought"
With this he took his cloak and used to cover himself and Ino.
Tomorrow Naruto would decide which clan would be his next destination…
AN: Done!
Wow another lemon, still feels weird to write them!
So I received a very interesting question the other day about how Ino managed to get into Naruto's head and didn't found the joyful fur ball. Well the answer is this just in case someone didn´t connected the dots.
When Minato was sealing the Kyubi, said fox slipped a SMALL portion of his consciousness into Naruto knowing that in time it would wake up fully; it didn't manifested before because Naruto never had the need, he was trained as a Sage and thus never ran out of his own chakra and he was always happy and innocent.
It has started to manifest strongly in his sex encounters as a more aggressive lover and in battle as he loses control of his emotions. These bursts of the Kyubi's chakra and personality had left small scars in his subconscious as Ino noted but nothing major yet; still the scars will pile up and eventually unearth the fox. Hope you are satisfied!
Ok people last chance to vote! Uchiha. Hyuga and Sarutobi are the options with the Uchiha leading the voting and Hyuga and Sarutobi tied in close second; you have until Sunday night as I will begin writing on Monday.
Next chapter will determine the exact geography of my world so you can locate Naruto in your minds and also his arrival to the new clan, I intend to make the new arc longer than the Senju and as always good descriptions of the clans, their history and people.
Read, vote and please review.
