(Welcome back readers. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, because I sure did. And now I thought I'd get in a chapter before the New Year approaches. Enjoy my friends.)
Last time it was three years since Naruto's banishment from Konoha. While Naruto was out for collecting a little bounty he crossed paths with his former Konoha shinobi rookie squads. Needless to say both Naruto and the rookies were overjoyed to see one another after three years. Noticing the group was late for their boat ride to their vacation spot Naruto flew them all out there where they were all welcomed with open arms, especially Naruto.
The very next morning the Konoha squads were up and having breakfast at the table. Sakura looked around the table and saw no sign of her old teammate, "Anybody seen Naruto this morning?"
"Nope." Shikamaru yawned.
"I'm afraid not." Tenten said.
"You think he left early?" Hinata asked.
"Don't worry about Naruto," Mingzhu came in, "He's just out back training with my workers."
"Training?" Kakashi asked intrigued.
"Oh yes, you see Chao used to be the only one who would train the girls in the art of combat. When Naruto showed up and protected the inn, the girls became even more interested to learn combat," she blushed and smiled at them, "Of course, that's not the only reason they wanted to learn under Naruto as well."
Kakashi thought, 'Jiraiya-sama, if only you could see Naruto now.'
When everyone was finished they went out back to see Naruto and Chao sparing with the workers. Naruto who wasn't even using his psychic powers against the girls was still proving well, but every so often one of the workers would manage to land a hit on him.
The groups watched while the Jonin were impressed, "Naruto really has been keeping up with his training as of late." Asuma admitted.
"Indeed, even a banned ninja like Naruto would not let his youthful energy squander!" Guy ranted until Kakashi spoke.
"Did you say something Guy?" he asked as Guy face faulted.
Naruto finished working with the last of the workers, "That's good work ladies, but remember to keep up with your training as you've always been."
"Hai, Naruto-sama." The girls bowed their heads and returned to work.
Naruto and Chao noticed the group was watching them as Kakashi spoke, "Very impressive Naruto."
"Well thanks Kakashi, I try my best." Naruto said while toweling off.
"Who would've thought you went from a knucklehead teaching Konohamaru your trademark orioke no jutsu to teaching hand to hand combat to young ladies." Sakura said.
"I'm not completely the same as I once was Sakura, remember?" Naruto reminded her and she nodded.
"I don't get it, why didn't you just use your special ability while sparring?" Kiba asked.
"Kiba, I'm not going to use my powers on them because they're not my enemies." Naruto replied.
"And that would be unfair." Chao added.
"Just what else have you been learning?" Neji asked.
"Well three years ago I learned a particular brand of jutsu that apparently Ero-sennin was able to master up at mount Myoboku; home of the toads."
"Jutsu know by Jiraiya-sama?" Kurenai asked.
"Oh yeah, it's called Sage jutsu."
"Sage jutsu?" they asked.
"Uh-huh, and let me tell ya learning it wasn't completey easy."
"Can you show us?" Ino asked.
"Very well." Naruto stood completely still while focusing.
Everyone watched Naruto concentrate until they saw the outlines around his eyes started turning orange and when he opened them his eyes appeared amphibian like.
"Whoa, Naruto put some sunglasses on please!" Kiba gagged.
"Kiba, don't be rude." Shino replied.
"Naruto, how did you do that?" Hinata asked and he explained.
"In order to learn Sage jutsu a ninja must learn how to take in the natural energy that's around them by standing completely still with no movement at all, however the ninja must balance natural energy with the physical and spiritual energy they posses in order to use sage chakra. Balancing these three energies together is extremely difficult, taking in too little natural energy will not work, but taking in too much will make the ninja undergo a transformation into frog-like until it ends up turning you to stone ultimately making you one with nature."
"Yikes." Ino gasped.
"Yeah, I even tried using my powers to hold my muscles still, although that was a theoretical test. The real thing I used for helping me learn it was toad oil, and that sure helped a lot."
"So what can you do in this sage mode?" Chouji asked.
"With this mode my senses are stronger along with physical strength and speed and with my powers I can fly faster than anything. You'd blink and I'd be gone, not to mention it makes my jutsu more powerful."
"Man and I thought sensei's training was hard work." Tenten said.
"How long did you stay up at Mount Myoboku to learn it?" Asuma asked.
"For a few months actually," he began, "It took me only a few weeks to get Sage jutsu down but I stayed a bit longer just so I can get to know more about Ero-sennin from Geezer Sage Fukasaku and Granny Shima."
"And?" Kakashi asked.
"He was more like me than he ever decided to tell me."
"How much different has sage jutsu affected your regular jutsu?" Neji asked.
"Well take a look." Naruto said holding out his hand and a Rasengan started forming, but to their surprise it started increasing in size and soon he was holding a wrecking ball sized Rasengan.
"Holy shit!" Kiba gasped.
"Look at the size of that thing!" Chouji dropped his chips.
"And Naruto's holding it like it's weightless." Shikamaru added.
"I can't imagine anyone surviving from getting hit by that." Kurenai put in.
Naruto smirked and looked by some of the forest trees and flew at one calling out, "Senpou: Chou Oodama Rasengan (Hermit art: Ultra-Big Ball Spiral Sphere)!" he slammed it into the trees which spreaded further destroying more and more trees, leaving a very long path of destruction through the forest.
"Whoa." The girls gasped.
"All of a sudden I feel very inferior." Kiba said while Akamaru whimpered.
Naruto ended Sage mode and sat down with them, "Yup training up in the toads place was quite an experience. Geezer-Toad even offered me a permanent home up there so that not even Danzo and his flunkies could ever find me. I didn't take it."
"You didn't?" Sakura asked.
"Nope, granted that place would be considered a paradise. All I felt like was an animal kept in a cage with no connection to the outside world. Plus I would not be able to eat Granny Shima's bug food for the rest of my life."
"Bug food?" Shino asked not liking the sound of that.
"Don't ask," Naruto replied, "Well I'm going out for a walk, be back later." Naruto said as he ran off.
"He really seems happy with himself." Shikamaru said.
"Have you ever seen him this happy at all?" Ino asked.
"Never." Shino answered.
"Well Naruto hasn't always been happy some of the times we've seen him." Mingzhu said.
"He hasn't?" Sakura asked.
"Even though he's glad he doesn't have to deal with biased people anymore, he still would occasionally talk to us about how he misses the people he did care about in Konoha." The woman explained.
"Well we're glad to see you, your daughter and who knows how many others Naruto met over the years to make him feel like a person just as we have." Kakashi said.
"I just don't see how half the people where you live could ever let someone so pure like him go." Mingzhu said as she and Chao watched Naruto in the distance.
Later Naruto was by a waterfall swimming around in his boxers while his other clothes were in a pile off to the side, "Ah yes, this is relaxing!" he called while doing some strokes.
Kurama thought to him, 'So three years since you've seen your old friends and senseis. How does it make you feel?'
'Feels great. I'm glad to see they've been doing ok just like I am.'
'I'm sure when they return to Konoha and tell Tsunade and Jiraiya about your condition they'll be hammering the group with questions.'
'I wish I could see it.' Naruto chuckled in his thoughts.
'Though I must ask, now that you've seen them all again will you be at peace even more knowing that they're still alive and thinking about you?'
'I will, because I've also been worrying about them when I left for my own reasons. One of which being if Danzo attempted to set them up to draw me out, but he wouldn't be able to do that as long as baa-san calls the shots with them.'
'Hmm, it seems you will be experiencing company in a moment Naruto, but not an enemy.'
Naruto curious as to what company Kurama meant by until he looked ahead seeing Hinata walking along, "Hey Hinata!" he called out.
"Naruto!" she went over but noticed where he was and what was in a pile before her, "Oh, sorry I didn't know you were!"
"Relax Hinata, I'm still decent." He assured her.
Hinata relaxed, "Alright. Sorry but I just wanted to see what you were up to. I figured you wouldn't still be training after the exercise you were doing back at the inn."
"Yeah, so I came here for a dip, and it's relaxing," Naruto said as he swam, "If you want you can come and join me." He offered.
Hinata blushed at the offer but spoke, "Well I didn't exactly bring anything with me, would it be ok if I swam in my underwear like you?"
"Hey if you don't mind getting them wet." Naruto replied.
"I don't." Hinata said as she began to unbutton her jacket.
"Whoop, better turn around." Naruto said as he was about to look away until Hinata spoke.
"Wait Naruto."
"Hm?"
"I don't mind if you look."
Naruto did a double take, "What?"
"I don't have a problem with you watching me undress." Hinata said.
Naruto thought, 'Whoa, the Hinata I knew would never have been able to say that to my face without fainting.'
'Seems the heiress has changed in more ways than one.'
'Clearly,' Naruto thought back as he watched Hinata finish undressing and stood in a white bra and matching cotton panties. Naruto's eyes wandered her whole body marveling at her flawless curves and enormous breasts, 'Shit, those things are bigger than my hands.' He thought while feeling himself grow stiff in the water.
Hinata continued to blush while putting her hands behind her back, "Does it look ok?"
Naruto smiled, "Of course, you look hot."
Hinata gasped, 'He thinks I look hot. That's it, there's no way I can back down now. I haven't seen Naruto in three years. So it's now or never.' She thought.
"Well you coming in or what?" he asked.
"Coming." She said as she jumped into the water.
Naruto chuckled as a bit of water splashed on him. Suddenly Hinata rose up from the water with her long wet hair flowing down her back. Naruto gazed upon her and noticed he was already able to see through her wet bra and felt mesmerized seeing her erect nipples behind the wet fabric.
"Water is definitely cold." Hinata said.
"I know." Naruto chuckled followed by her as well.
The two started swimming as Naruto spoke up, "So how's your family? Still having tension between both houses?"
"Not at all now," Hinata replied, "Through careful negotiating me, my father, and Neji have been able to bring peace to both the main and branch families."
"So there's no more tension?" Naruto asked.
"No, we fight as equals now." She replied.
"Well looks like you and Neji were able to do what I failed to promise." Naruto said feeling a bit guilty.
"Naruto, you have nothing to be ashamed about," Hinata said swimming over to him, "If it weren't for you Neji would never have changed and things would still be the way they used to be between our clan houses. So you see you already helped change our clan by opening Neji's eyes." She got behind him and laid her hands on his shoulders.
Naruto smiled, "Well I guess you're right. I did do something after all." Suddenly he felt Hinata's breasts press into his back as she hugged him from behind.
"You did more than anyone could ever have asked you, Naruto." Hinata said while laying her head on his shoulder.
Naruto blushed, 'Oh man, her breasts feel even squishier than they looked.' He thought.
'You're lucky you started reading your sensei's books years ago or you would have no idea what to do when a woman gives you hints like this.'
'Yeah, I can't believe I've been giving Ero-sennin such a hard time about his books when I haven't even read them close enough to appreciate it.'
'So what're you going to do now?'
'Use his books to my advantage right now.'
Hinata was curious as to why Naruto was being so quiet spoke, "Naruto, are you alright?"
Naruto turned around surprising Hinata as he gazed into her pale eyes, "Hinata, do you trust me?"
"What Naruto?"
"I said 'do you trust me'?"
Hinata looked into Naruto eyes and could tell he was serious with his question, "Of course."
Naruto smiled, "Then please allow me to help you relax." He wrapped his arms around Hinata pulling her closer. His hands made it to her bra and he gently unhooked it.
Hinata gasped as Naruto removed her bra exposing her breasts in a full view, "Hinata, I see you've been keeping secrets." He noted her mounds.
Hinata blushed, "Well I try not to expose them. I'm not one to show off such things."
"Humble; a quality that suits you," Naruto smiled as he reached below and Hinata gasped feeling her final piece of clothing removed as Naruto held it out of the water, "Well Hinata, how do you feel?"
"I feel… Wonderful Naruto." She smiled.
"Good, then allow me to join you." Naruto squatted down into the water and stood back up throwing his wet boxers onto shore along with Hinata's unmentionables.
"I just hope nobody catches us around here." Hinata said hoping her own team or sensei wouldn't catch them together.
"I'm all over it." Naruto smirked as he formed a hand seal and several sealing tags appeared around the trees surrounding the waterfall and creek and formed a barrier surrounding it.
"Naruto, what is this?" Hinata asked.
"Over the years I've developed an interesting in sealing jutsu experimentation. I've made may own kind of seals, and this is one of them. It projects a barrier around anything surrounding this. It'll keep anyone from entering, meaning right now it's just you and I."
"That's amazing." Hinata gasped.
"You wanna see something amazing, get a load of a jutsu I invented on my own," Naruto formed hand signs before speaking, "Onsen no jutsu!" suddenly the water in the creek started bubbling like a jacuzzi complete with steam rising.
"Oh, Naruto the water feels amazing." Hinata said as the now bubbling water started soothing her.
"It does doesn't it?" Naruto asked, "I mostly use this for my traveling in case I'm nowhere near a town or when I need a soothing soak."
"The girls would beg you to teach them a jutsu like this." Hinata said.
"No kidding, but I'm afraid its standard issue," Naruto joked and they laughed. When their laughter died down Naruto spoke again, "Can I tell you something Hinata?"
"Of course." She replied.
"Before and when I left Konoha something's also been on my mind."
"What is that?"
"I've also been curious about my identity."
"Your identity?"
"Yeah, like just because I have a name it doesn't completely tell me who I am. When I left Konoha I felt like a part of who I am was gone I was no longer a Konoha shinobi. So I felt I had to find myself again. And when I got my powers I just kept questioning my whole being, who am I or what am I? Am I truly a ninja, a Jinchuriki, or am I something else?"
"The answer's simple, you're Naruto," Hinata answered, "And nothing will ever change that about you."
Naruto smiled, "Thanks Hinata, you always know what to say." He wrapped his arms around her waist planting one of his hands firmly on her tight ass.
"Naruto." Hinata gasped.
"Trust me Hinata, I know what I'm doing." He said as their lips met and their tongues battled it out.
When they broke both of them panted for air, "I've been wanting to do that with you for three years." Naruto said.
"I feel the same way." Hinata replied.
"Come on." Naruto said as he swam Hinata closer to the shore where it was shallow.
Naruto then sat Hinata onto his lap and began to bounce her large breasts and kneaded them together. Hinata blushed as Naruto continued to squeeze and toy with her breasts.
As he toyed with them he went to her neck and started licking it while Naruto shivered, but soon that shivered turned into moans of delight, "Oh, Naruto!" she moaned.
Naruto removed his face from her neck leaving behind a hickey and then held up her right breast and started sucking on it like an infant. Hinata enjoying the pleasure held Naruto's head closer, not wanting him to stop while she could already feel herself getting extra wet below.
While Hinata continued to hold his face into her breast Naruto used a free hand to go below and finger Hinata into her womanhood. As Naruto did so Hinata buried her head onto his red hair nuzzling into it. Hinata finally came from so much fingering as Naruto removed himself from her chest.
"Alright Hinata, now it's time for the next phase." Naruto said as they went further into the water while they were able to stand as he held Hinata close and the heiress gasped.
"Naruto, you're inside me."
"Yeah, does it hurt?"
"A little, but I'll bear with it for you." She admitted.
"Then let's go all the way." Naruto said as he started moving around still inside her.
Hinata moaned from the sensual feeling and wrapped her arms around the one she's loved for years making him go deeper into her. As Naruto continued to pump into her he could feel his length build up and eventually he released it into her.
"I feel it all inside of me." Hinata panted.
"Hope you can still go another few rounds, because frankly I'm still stiff."
"Yes, I can."
"Perfect." Naruto smirked as he once again started to squeeze and knead her bouncing breasts.
Hinata panted but wanting to contain it so she wrapped her hands around Naruto's head crashing his lips back onto hers where they once again tongue battled for dominance. Hinata raised her right leg and wrapped it around Naruto's waist pulling his length deeper inside of her. As Naruto continued thrusting into the moaning girl both of them eventually came, but Naruto was not ready to stop.
Two hours later Naruto and Hinata went onto shore where their clothes were. Naruto used his power to levitate his clothes up where he just stepped into his boxers and pants that pulled up due to his psychic hold, while his shirt and jacket were slipped onto him. Once he was dressed he used his power to put Hinata's clothes back onto her, while Hinata remained perfectly still so not to mess up Naruto's concentration.
"Hinata, you were absolutely amazing." Naruto said as he hugged her.
"Well, it was my first time." She admitted.
"Seriously? Wow that makes it even better."
"I just did what came to me is all." She admitted.
"Well, you were still amazing." Naruto replied as he pecked her cheek.
"Arigato, Naruto. I'm glad my first time could be with you." She kissed him.
"Well as a reward for being very satisfying, how about a different type of fun?"
"Different type?" she was confused.
"Yup." Naruto said as he levitated up and got behind Hinata putting his hands under her arms and lifted her up higher.
"Naruto, what're you?"
"Don't worry Hinata I won't let you go," Naruto said as he flew up higher and higher until he reached above the forests trees, "And away we go!" he took off flying while holding onto Hinata.
"Naruto, this is wonderful!" Hinata gasped.
"Say it loud and proud Hinata!"
"THIS IS WONDERFUL!" she cried out as Naruto continued flying her all around the forest while she moved her legs above the tree tops like she was running on top of them.
Hinata laughed with such spirit was Naruto flew downward and across the creek while Hinata was dragging her feet through the top of the water leaving behind a trail of ripples.
"What say we head back to the inn for lunch?" Naruto suggested.
"Of course." She agreed as Naruto flew back in the direction of the inn.
Back at the inn everyone was engaging in their own activities with Kakashi reading his book, Guy and Lee sparring, Chouji munching on some chips, Shikamaru playing shoji with Asuma, Ino and Sakura were gossiping, Tenten was organizing her weapons she kept in her scroll, Neji and Shino were minding their own business, Kiba was trying to score some attention with the workers with Akamaru with no luck, and Kurenai was chatting with Mingzhu.
Suddenly they looked up seeing Naruto and Hinata fly above them before touching down to the ground, "Thanks for the ride, Naruto." Hinata said.
"No problem." Naruto said.
"Seems like you two were having fun." Kakashi noted their behavior.
"Yeah what were you up to?" Sakura asked.
"I was just showing Hinata the joys of being able to fly." Naruto answered.
"Naruto-sama!" the workers ran from Kiba and clung to him.
"We're so glad you came back." One said while laying her head on his right shoulder.
"You're much more fun to talk to." Another said while laying her head on his left shoulder.
Kiba gawked and looked down, "I just can't win."
Soon everyone was inside having lunch with Naruto using his psychic ability to use his chopsticks to pick up the food and put it in his mouth while he kicked back. He then made his chopsticks pick up some more and looked to Hinata, "Hinata open up."
Hinata taking the hint did so as the chopsticks levitated over and placed the food in her mouth, "Delicious." She said.
Ino and Tenten watched feeling envious knowing something more happened between the two, and mentally cursed themselves for letting Hinata get ahead of them. One of the workers who was holding a bottle of something strutted her way to Naruto with a sway in her hips, "Naruto-sama, refill?"
"Yes please." Naruto said holding out his glass that was filled with the beverage.
"Naruto, how can you be drinking?" Sakura asked.
"This ain't sake Sakura; it's a special energy elixir they invented. With a swig of this you'll be up ready to go like that."
"Such a drink exists?" Lee gasped, "Let me have some of that, with it I shall be faster and stronger than I ever imagined."
"NOOO!" His team cried knowing what happens to Lee if he drank too much of a certain brand of elixir.
Naruto chuckled, "Ah this is what it's all about, sitting around a table, having a bite, sharing a few laughs, and enjoying each others company."
"Agreed." Chao said as she poured him more of the elixir.
(And that's the chapter. Naruto's had a little personal time with Hinata, and it was just what he'd hoped for. Don't miss next time guys. This will mark my final update in 2012. And wait and see all the new surprises and ideas I have planned for the New Year. Catch you all then.)
