Naruto: Titan of Defense
A/N: Hey everyone! I'm back! I apologize, yet again, for the long stretch between updates. (I seem to do that a lot lately.) I recently rented Dragon Age 2 and spent quite a bit of time beating the game... and it was worth every second :) Great Game. Anyways, You'll see some splitting up in this chapter and a little area I have been bugged to include, and have finally conceded.
"A Free man defending his home is worth more than ten hired soldiers." By Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves.

Nami's Naga and Samui's New Friends!
Naruto blinked the sleep away from his eyes as he awoke. He then smiled as he felt two warm bodies snuggle slightly closer to him. He looked down to his chest only to be greeted with two heads of hair, one with blue, and the other a bright blonde. He chuckled softly as he watched the sheets flutter farther down, an obvious sign of their tails swishing in pleasure. He turned and looked at the time, only to sigh. It was time to get up, as they all had to go meet with Tsunade for their assignments.
He thought of a few ways to wake his newest mates up before smiling devilishly. He lent over to Yugito and turned her head up before making out with her heatedly. It took a good minute, but soon enough the lioness was awake and moaning softly into Naruto's mouth. He smiled at her as he broke the kiss and nodded his head towards the clock, which made her frown. She put her head back down, causing Naruto to roll his eyes and proceed to wake up Kiyomi as well. Another minute and he had the biju turning the tables on him and ravishing his mouth.
They broke when Yugito cleared her throat, staring at them from Naruto's chest. "I would love a repeat of last night, but we don't have the time." she said smirking.
Kiyomi pouted before both girls squealed in surprise as Naruto grabbed a handful of their asses, "Get those tight asses moving Neko-chan's." he said smirking, before they both grinned at each other and proceeded to quickly tickle him. Naruto burst into a laughing fit and quickly moved away from the two girls who pouted at their fun being ruined.
Naruto glared at them even though there was still a smile across his face. "Oh come on, you know you loved it." Kiyomi said as she got up, showing off her naked body and her new mate mark. Naruto blushed and looked away, knowing that if he looked at her for too long then they wouldn't leave the house on time... and maybe for the rest of the day.
Yugito gave her twin a quick tap on the head, causing her ears to droop. "Not now Kiyomi-chan. We can get him again later." she said perversely, causing Naruto to grab his clothes and run into the bathroom, thereby making the cat twins giggle at his antics. "Come one, let's get dressed. we have to report to Tsunade for our squad assignments." she said, getting a nod from her feline friend as they both exited Naruto's room.
Naruto quickly got dressed in his usual cargo pants, boots, shirt, and coat before heading downstairs, only to smile at seeing all of his girls, Kiyomi and Yugito included, enjoying a breakfast, and seemingly drilling the twins on their nightly escapade with Naruto. He chuckled as he watched Fu and Kushina both getting rather red, while Samui held a decent dusting of pink across her cheeks. The rest of his mates were obviously giggling and making lewd comments that made even Naruto blush slightly.
He cleared his throat, causing everyone to look at him. "Let's get some breakfast and head to the tower. I'm sure Baa-chan is already waiting." he stated. True to his word, when the group of ten arrived nearly thirty minutes later, Tsunade was already waiting along with several other shinobi.
She smirked as the way Kiyomi and Yugito were standing, "Had a good night girls?" she asked, getting a blush from Yugito and a V sign from Kiyomi. Naruto sighed and Tsunade chuckled, "Good for you. Naruto, any suggestions on team placements?" she asked.
Naruto nodded, "I think myself, Samui-chan, Fu-chan, and Kushina-chan should head East towards Whirlpool and Wave country. Kiyomi-chan, Yugito-chan, and Hana-chan should head West, towards River Country. Ammy-chan should head North, towards Oto and Taki, taking a rather small cut as my team and Kiyomi-chan's team will cover part of her area. Hikari-chan and Anko-chan should head South, and onto the small peninsula before tea country." he suggested.
Tsunade raised an eyebrow, "Why would you send Amaterasu alone?" she asked.
Naruto smirked, "Well each team needs a tracker of some sort along with a seals master. We also need some firepower in case something goes wrong. I would send Samui-chan or Fu-chan with her, but they aren't at her level and would only serve to hinder her. Hence, they are with me." he stated. He gave both girls apologetic looks but Fu just gave him a warming smile while Samui nodded her head somewhat stiffly towards him. "Kushina is the hitter in my group, while I'm the tracker and seals master. Hana-chan is the tracker in Kiyomi-chan's group while Kiyomi is the seals mistress, and Yugito is their backup. Anko-chan works better with Hikari-chan, both of whom have some tracking skills while Hikari-chan knows seals. In short, Ammy-chan is a hard hitter, tracker, and seals mistress by herself, and breaking anyone else up wouldn't work as well." he stated.
She nodded, "Okay, But I have heard rumors of Wave country being cut off from the outside much like Kiri currently is. If you have reason to believe that Orochimaru or any of his supporters may be operating in Wave, I am authorizing you to intervene. If you can turn it to our favor, that would be wonderful." She said.
Naruto looked to his group, who nodded in support, "As you wish. We'd have probably helped out anyway." he said with a smile.
Tsunade nodded, "Very well. However, I don't like sending you out alone." she said looking to Amaterasu.
"And she won't be." came a gruff voice from the crowd. Everyone turned around to see Tsume clamping on some wrist guards and Kuromaru walking silently beside her. "It would be our honor to fight alongside you Amaterasu-dono." Kuromaru added.
Amaterasu smiled, "I'm sure the honor will be mine. Just make sure you can keep up." she said locking eyes with Tsume, who barked out a laugh.
"I'll keep up alright! Just don't slow me down!" she said her eyes sparkling with mischief.
Tsunade smiled, "In that case, I think you have your teams. I'll be sending ANBU out to patrol the borders while Gennin and Chunnin teams will run internal checks. Send word with one of these teams should you encounter something beyond your control. I will be assigning additional Jounin's to rookie teams for added protection." she said, making everyone nod and stand at attention as her voice turned serious. She glanced to Naruto's group, "Seals teams, you have your orders. GET TO WORK!" she ordered, receiving only the sound of eleven shunshins as they left the room.
West Gate: Same Time (10:00 AM)
Naruto smiled at his group, "Let's get a move on. We need to reach the borders before dark." he said before they all disappeared into the trees. None of them noticed the playful, and slightly lusty, smirk on Fu's face.
His group spent the next five days travelling to, and along the edge of, Hot Springs country before arriving at the ocean. They encountered no suspicious activity and Naruto periodically sent several teams of clones back inland to check for possible infiltration points. Unfortunately, they were unable to find any evidence and the group was growing slightly annoyed at the lack of action.
Currently, they were camped somewhere between Hot springs and Wave, along the coast. Naruto looked at the campsite and sighed, Kushina had been staring at the ocean ever since they had arrived. He looked over to Fu and Samui only to see the two well endowed women talking rather amicably with one another. He got up and walked over to Kushina, "Is something bothering you Kushina-chan?" he asked softly, smirking when he saw her tense up, an obvious sign of him catching her off guard.
Kushina turned and gave Naruto a sad smile, "Nothing's wrong Naruto-kun. Just thinking about Whirlpool." she said softly.
Naruto blinked, "We are near there, aren't we?" he said, realizing their approximate location.
Kushina nodded, unaware that the other two girls had silently joined them. "I still remember the day I was sent to Konoha. It was during the Third Shinobi World War, when Iwa, Kumo, and Kiri all joined forces to destroy my home." She said, gaining a slight flinch from Samui, "I was only eight at the time, just young enough to enter the academy. They sent a large amount of shinobi, some believe it numbered near 50,000, however no one really knows how many participated in the attack. What is known, on the other hand, is the fact that the invaders lost nearly 75% of their forces before they prevailed. The Uzumaki's were always known as dangerous opponents and I guess we earned our reputation." she said with a grim smile.
Naruto smirked at Kushina, "They definitely sound like they're related to me." he said chuckling softly.
Kushina smirked as a few tears dripped down her eyes, "Yeah, definitely." she answered before wiping her eyes. "The story of them doing so much damage and holding out for nearly a week under a hard siege is what inspired me to become a shinobi in the first place." she said, turning to Naruto. "I'm glad I did, otherwise I'd have never met you, or anyone else I consider precious." she said giving him a smile.
Naruto smiled back and hugged her, "Don't worry Kushina-chan, We won't end up like Whirlpool." he whispered softly, hoping to waylay any fears long before they took root.
Kushina smirked and sniffed, "Of course we won't, Cause we won't let anyone tear our family apart!" she said confidently, gaining smiles from the other girls, and a tighter hug from Naruto.
"Damn straight Kushi-chan. Damn Straight." he said softly. Fu and Samui looked to one another and silently headed back to camp, intent on keeping this a personal affair. Several minutes later, Naruto let Kushina go, "I think we should join the others Kushi-chan. We have a long day ahead of us because we should be nearing Wave Country tomorrow." Kushina smiled and nodded, wiping the last of the tears from her eyes before they headed back to camp.
Next Day: Mainland Across from Wave
Naruto and his group stood on the road that lead to what appeared to be a partially constructed bridge, with mist covering the channel of water below. "Well, that's one BIG bridge." Naruto commented, causing Kushina and Fu to giggle.
"It is isn't it?" came a voice from the water in front of them. The four ninja blinked as the mist cleared enough to let them see the speaker. He was a burly man, dressed in a simple fisherman's clothes, and had a white rope around his forehead, with an X shaped scar on his chin. He sat in a simple boat, with a motor and oars along side it.
Naruto stepped forward, not sure if this man was a threat or not. "Who are you?" he asked cautiously.
The man chuckled heartily and held up his hands in surrender, "I'm but a simple fisherman shinobi-san. I mean you no harm. My name is Kaiza." he replied smiling.
Naruto relaxed slightly, "My name is Naruto Uzumaki, and these girls are my fiancees, Fu-chan, Kushina-chan, and Samui-chan." he said motioning to each one. Fu smiled and bowed slightly to the man. Kushina just smiled and waved warmly. Samui, however, just gave him a cold glare.
Kaiza's smile brightened, "My you are a lucky man! However, May I ask why you are here?" he replied, his demeanor going from happy to serious in a split second.
Naruto nodded, "Konoha has recently come under attack from Otogakure and they are allied with creatures known as the Naga. They are serpent-like humanoid fighters and we were able to track their scent here." he replied, seeing Kaiza's face brighten, he guessed that the Naga had been causing problems for Wave. "In addition, our Hokage came into some information that Wave country had fallen on hard times and assigned us a side mission to aid Wave should the Naga be operating there." he added.
Kaiza's smile threatened to split his face, "Praise Kami! Those blasted Naga and that rat Gato have been causing us no amount of trouble recently. If you are really here to help us as you say, it would be my honor to have you stay at my home." he said warmly.
Naruto looked back to his girls, and each one nodded their assent. He turned back to Kaiza and smiled, "Well, it would certainly be better than sleeping on the ground again. Thank you for your hospitality." he replied happily.
Kaiza's smile didn't dim in the slightest, "That is wonderful news! Please, step into my boat and I'll take you safely across these waters. Gato's men patrol them sporadically and I doubt you could avoid them as easily as I can." he said, simply referring to his knowledge of the area. Naruto nodded and the group stepped into Kaiza's boat, heading for Wave and a whole mess of trouble.
Tazuna's house: Later that day
Kaiza stepped into a rather large house and yelled, "Tsunami-chan I'm home!" even as a blur tackled him excitedly. Kaiza chuckled happily as the blur revealed itself to be a child with a bucket hat and a wide goofy grin on his face.
"Tou-san. Tou-san! Welcome home!" the child said loudly, causing Naruto's group to smile warmly, even Samui.
A rather pretty, albeit plain, looking woman stepped out of the kitchen with dark blue hair and black eyes. She wore a simple pink shirt with red fringes and some black pants, leading down to regular straw sandals. "Oh! Kaiza, welcome home honey! Who is this with you?" she asked warmly.
Kaiza smiled, "Thanks Hun! These are shinobi from Konohagakure. Naruto Uzumaki and his fiancees Kushina, Samui, and Fu." he said, motioning to each of them, causing them to briefly bow to their hostess. "They're here to deal with the Naga, and hopefully Gato." he said happily.
Tsunami's eyes went wide and she bowed to the ninja, "Oh thank you Shinobi-san! Those horrible creatures have begun terrorizing this country for nearly five months!" she said excitedly.
This commotion caused a certain drunk to come stumbling in from the living room. "Oi! What's with all the racket!" an old man that reeked of sake and wearing a straw hat asked as he opened the door and stared at the people in his doorway.
Naruto sighed, "Look this is going to get redundant real fast. Let's all move to the living room and we can talk there, Okay?" he suggested, getting nods from the younger family, and his girls, while the older man gave them a skeptical look. However, when Tsunami gave him a glare the old man quickly withered and moved into the living room.
They sat down, with the shinobi on one side, and the domestic family on the other. Tazuna opened his mouth but another stern glare from Tsunami shut him up. Kushina and Fu giggled seeing this and Naruto just shook his head, "Let us just be clear, we were ordered to search for any potential breaches in security in or around the borders of Hi no Kuni. Nagas are part of the forces that are currently allied against Konoha and, as such, we have been given permission to seek out and destroy any installation or base they may have." Naruto explained, causing Tazuna's eyes to widen in surprise and glee. "In addition, our Hokage has given us the go ahead to aid Wave should we find it in disreputable standings. Obviously, this is the case." he said.
The three girls beside him growled softly in anger, even as Tsunami and Inari looked away sadly. Kaiza had kept the shinobi out of the main town, but they had still seen the poverty and disparity that was obviously spreading through Wave country as this 'Gato' character continued to buy up all the ports.
Tazuna sighed, "I've been trying to build a bridge, but it's slow going, especially since Gato has begun to threaten my workers. That bridge would allow us trade routes that wouldn't be dependent on ports! It would open up whole new possibilities!" he said passionately.
Kaiza smiled at his father in law, "Agreed." he added happily before turning to the ninja, "I'm naught but a simple fisherman, but I am at your service if you wish to rid this country of Gato." he said bowing low.
Naruto chuckled in embarrassment, "Look I appreciate that and all, but you're already doing far too much simply by housing us. The only thing I would ask of you is for any information on the Naga or Gato that you currently have." he said.
Kaiza smiled, "That is simple. Gato has recently taken up residence in the old Daimyo's home. He currently has his people bringing in quite a bit of different materials, which we assume he is using to beef up the defenses of the manor. As for the Naga, we don't know where their base is but they seem to congregate around the East and North sides of the island." he replied eagerly.
Naruto sniffed the air and glanced to Fu, who nodded. Never trusting people makes you very good at telling when people are lying to you apparently. Naruto smiled, "That is very good. Thank you for the information. We will rest the night and be on our way tomorrow." he stated.
Tsunami frowned, "Could I persuade you to stay here for as long as you are in Wave? If you are truly helping us, it would be our honor to have you as guests." she replied warmly.
Naruto once again looked at his girls, surprisingly he found both Fu and Kushina nodding in acceptance while Samui just seemed to be glaring coldly at the family, as if she didn't trust them. Naruto frowned but resolved to talk to her later. She had become colder and colder without Yugito and Kiyomi around. "Thank you for the offer, and I believe we will accept." he answered with a soft smile.
Tsunami and Kaiza both smiled widely, while Inari giggled happily and started chattering about 'indestructible ninjas' and other nonsense while Tazuna huffed and headed for his room. Tsunami just shook her head at her father's behavior before showing the ninja to their rooms, one for the girls and one for Naruto, although Fu quickly claimed her life sized plushy as they slipped into dreamland.
Next Day: North Side of Island
Naruto found himself jumping through the trees with Samui at his side. They had split up at the beginning of the day, with Naruto summoning a wolf named Jushiro to track for Kushina and Fu, whilst Samui and himself headed north. Tsunami had been nice enough to serve them breakfast, and they had happily accepted , before deciding to search for the Naga as they were the more serious threat.
They still had a good hour before they reached the coastline and Naruto couldn't pick up any scents so he thought now would be a good time to speak with Samui. He stopped in a small clearing, forcing the large breasted woman to do the same. She turned to him and glared slightly,"Why are we stopping?" she asked, crossing her arms over her chest, and reminding Naruto of his godmother.
Naruto frowned, "We are stopping so I can figure out what's got you in such a bad mood." he replied with an even tone.
Samui stiffened and turned from him, "Nothing is wrong, now let us continue the mission." she answered in a stiff voice.
"Bakudo no Kyuu: Geki!" (Way of Binding #9: Strike) Naruto said as Samui suddenly found herself frozen in place with a red aura around her. "You can leave when you tell me what's wrong, otherwise we will be here until night comes." he replied, feeling her angrily trying to break his seal, he smirked, "I will not let you leave Samui-chan. We need to talk." he said seriously.
He felt her struggle a bit more before growling, "Fine! You wanna know so bad, I'll tell you. Just let me go!" she answered. Naruto nodded and released his seal. Samui felt the resistance on her body vanish and she relaxed, reaching over her shoulder, she rubbed her back. Having these huge tits without having a healing factor of some kind made her back very sore very easily. She turned and glared at Naruto, who sighed.
"Well?" he asked, gaining him an increase in the intensity of her gaze.
"Do you just plan it all out? Or do you fly by the seat of your pants and let your looks do all the work for you?" she asked angrily.
Naruto blinked in surprise, "Uhhhhhhhh Huh?" he replied stupidly.
Samui tsked and turned away from him. "Obviously you just let your looks do all the work. How else would you have eight fiancees and a wife." she stated annoyed.
Naruto blinked again, still not catching on. "You're not making any sense. The other girls love me for who I am, not my looks. You and I are a political marriage but I do hope you'll let me..." he never got to finish as Samui growled at him and walked up to him, poking him in the chest.
"What I MEAN is that you have nine girls to choose from when you wanna get your rocks off and you act like it's nothing! You still act like each of them is special! How can any woman stand to be around you when they know you're fucking another woman behind their backs!" she screamed at him.
Naruto felt the need to defend himself and glared at her slightly, "I never go 'behind their backs' as you call it, and you knew what was going on when you signed up for that marriage! I know I haven't taken you on a date or anything but I was trying to let you get accustomed to Konoha first!" he replied heatedly.
Samui scoffed, "Yeah right! You already have eight other girls, what's one more?" she replied bitterly.
Naruto growled, "Hey! I don't lie to my girls! You're one of my fiancees, and you're precious to me just like they are, even if I don't know you that well yet!" he countered passionately.
Samui felt her eyes water, "How can you say that! You don't even know me and I'm precious to you? How can I respond to that? How can I react to that?" she replied, getting louder and more emotional by the second, "How can I do my job when I can't remain compose, when you break down my barriers so easily! Like you've been doing it all your life!" she yelled at him, getting to her real problem.
Naruto blinked in surprise again as Samui began to cry. Slowly, he moved forward and embraced the sobbing Kunoichi. "It's okay. It'll be fine." he whispered, hoping to soothe her. He had no idea what her job was, and he was a bit surprised as he thought that she honestly didn't like him. Not that she outright hated him, but being in a political marriage and not really knowing him, while not making any attempts to get close, he had thought she found him to be just another guy who was attracted to her body and not her personality.
Several minutes later Samui had dried the last of her tears and gave Naruto a soft smile, "T-Thanks Naruto-kun. I'm sorry I've been so cold, but I've just been acting that way for so long, and I'm supposed to keep you and Yugito-chan at arms length or the council said they could revoke the marriage. So I just thought keeping myself detached would help me like it always had." she said sadly, before hiccuping and giving him a smile, one that made his heart leap into his throat, "I guess that doesn't work when someone shines as bright and warm as you do Naruto-kun." she said softly.
Naruto's smile threatened to split his face, "That's the first time I've ever heard you compliment me, and the first time you've ever smiled too." he replied warmly before grabbing her chin and gently claiming her lips in a passionate kiss. Samui closed her eyes and opened her mouth, letting Naruto explore the moist cavern, and moaning softly as he massaged her own tongue with his before she returned the favor and explored his mouth.
They broke for air after nearly three minutes of kissing, both of them breathing hard. "Wow." Samui whispered, before blushing deeply, "That was my first kiss." she added, her voice still barely a whisper.
Naruto blinked in surprise before smiling warmly and kissing her chastely again, "Then I'll have to make sure I take responsibility for it won't I?" he asked somewhat humorously.
Samui smiled at him and nodded, still blushing, "You better, but we have to get back to the mission." she added as she stood up, the two of them having fallen to their knees when Samui had cried.
Naruto smiled and stood up, grabbing her hand, "Date when we return?" he asked.
Samui shot him a warm smile, "You owe it to me." she replied confidently before slowly lowering her gaze and looking away. "L-Listen, about what I said..." she started before Naruto squeezed her hand.
"All I heard was you complimenting me and letting me kiss you." he replied warmly, with a slight perverse undertone at the end.
Samui blushed but smiled, "Thanks. However, I think you should know that I'm 'supposed' to keep you and Yugito-chan from ever attacking Kumo." she said.
Naruto nodded, "I see. That's no problem." he replied confidently, gaining him a smile and a kiss on the cheek.
"You're sweet, but you still owe me that date Naruto-kun." she said before jumping off into the trees.
Naruto chuckled, "I think she's gonna be more fun than Hikari-chan was!" he said before giggling as he shot after his newest love interest.
The two shinobi, then, spent all morning searching the North Western side of the island. They found nothing of note, although Naruto commented that he did smell a few Naga scents here and there. They stopped for lunch, nothing big, just some simple rice balls that Tsunami had been kind enough to prepare for them before they had set out. They were soon on their way again, however, and found themselves on a small cliff overlooking a very dangerous looking ocean after having finally caught a Naga's scent.
The water before them was littered with jagged rocks and looked like something out of a fisherman's nightmares. The water churned and flowed at a very fast rate between the spires of rock, obviously too fast for any civilian to swim in. Naruto frowned, "I smell their scent going in there but none coming out. I don't think we are going in there." he commented, looking over to his companion.
However, Samui seemed to be in a trance. Her eyes were glassed over and she was staring into the dangerous waters like they were a gift to her. Naruto's frown deepened as he watched her step forward and start heading down the cliff. His eyes widened in alarm and he quickly followed her, deciding not to wake her yet lest she loose her focus and drop into the churning waters below.
He quietly followed her and watched as she stepped onto the waters below, and yet, it seemed to grow calm under her step. A surprising thing as he knew her affinity was towards lightning and not water. He shook his head of that and quickly joined her atop the water. He found that the current flowed around her, and left him just enough room behind her to walk without too much difficulty.
They walked for a good hour, twisting and turning through the currents and rocks before coming to a small island with a rather large cave bored into the side of it, along with torches that adorned the sides of the cave. Samui stepped into the cave. By now, Naruto had grown tired of following her and moved up beside her, intent on waking her up. That is, until a loud booming voice sounded through the cave. "Do not interfere young one. Your mate shall not be harmed. We simply have need of her assistance." said the mysterious being.
Naruto frowned and watched as Samui began to walk forward again, having stopped at the being's words. "Who are you! And what do you need from Samui-chan!" he demanded.
Samui stopped once again but this time, a deep rumbling laughter came from the cave. Naruto felt the earth quake under his feet and immediately prepared himself for a fight. Quite soon, a large serpentine figure appeared, floating, before the two shinobi. It was a bright silver color, and with large teeth, two flowing whiskers, and two short arms with three claws on its hands. Naruto's eyes went wide. "I am a dragon young one. Known as Tatsu. And we are in need of a summoner." he stated simply. (an Oriental Dragon)
Naruto blinked, "Okay, then why couldn't you just ask Samui-chan instead of hypnotizing and bringing her here?" he asked seriously, knowing it wasn't a good idea to piss off big summons like Tatsu.
Tatsu chuckled, "I simply gave her the ability to come here. Whether she wishes to be our summoner or not is up to her." he replied warmly as Samui's eyes lost their dazed look and she took a step back, holding her head.
"Whoa, did I eat too much Wasabi again?" she asked softly before her eyes took in Tatsu's form and went wide. "Definitely ate too much Wasabi." she whispered.
Tatsu barked out a laugh, even as Naruto chuckled at his fiancee. "Hello Samui Nii. I have a proposition for you. Would you hear me out?" he asked as he settled on the ground in front of her.
Samui turned and looked to Naruto, who nodded and smiled warmly motioning to accept. "Uhhhh sure. What do you need?" she asked curiously.
Tatsu smiled warmly, "I am the dragon in charge of finding worthy summoners to our clan. You see, the Dragons are not fire users as everyone believes. In fact, we are more aligned with lightning and wind than fire, although we do have our fire breath. I have been waiting for centuries for a person with a strong enough lightning affinity to come along so we may test them and see if they could summon our clan once again." he stated seriously.
Samui's eyes widened, "And you wish to test me?" she replied with a bit of disbelief in her voice.
Tatsu nodded, "The test is not life threatening or anything, but we do hold our summoners to a high standard of conduct and morality." he stated, gaining a nod from Naruto and Samui. "Would you consent to being tested?" he asked.
Samui gave the dragon a nervous look, "Uhhhh could I talk to Naruto-kun for a second?" she asked, getting a nod from the dragon she quickly grabbed Naruto and pulled him close. "What do you think?" she whispered.
Naruto gave her a deadpan look, "I think a summoning scroll doesn't come along everyday and you should take any chance you get." he replied.
Samui chuckled nervously, "I guess you're right. Besides, it's not like I have anything to lose if I fail." she said smiling softly. Naruto smiled supportively at her and nodded, causing her to turn around and face Tatsu. "I will take your test!" she declared confidently.
Tatsu smiled, "Good. Please hold still while I administer the test." he replied as he stood up and began to float again. His body suddenly glowed a pale white color and an ethereal dragon formed from the aura before roaring and slamming down onto Samui's astonished form. The aura quickly became like a bubble of light that did not allow anyone to see what was going on inside. Naruto's eyes went wide and he was about to rush forward when Tatsu's tail appeared in front of him, blocking his path. "Worry not young one, she will be fine." he stated as the two watched the silver aura begin to swirl around Naruto's fiancee.
This continued for nearly a full minute before the aura began to condense and reformed into the silver dragon, however, instead of returning to Tatsu, it coiled itself around the calm looking Samui, who now held a Katana in her hand. Samui blinked as the ethereal dragon slowly dissipated and took in her surroundings before smiling at Tatsu and Naruto. "I passed!" she said happily.
Naruto smiled and quickly swept her up in a hug, twirling her around, and causing her to laugh in delight. Tatsu smiled as his form began to waver, "Much luck to you Samui Nii. The Dragons have a summoner once again." he stated before his form vanished and a large ancient scroll appeared in his place.
Samui blushed as Naruto finally put her down and she headed over to the scroll. She quietly picked it up and signed it before strapping it to her back, right above her butt. She smiled, "Thanks Tatsu-san. I appreciate you giving me the chance to sign this." she said softly as she turned to Naruto and smiled, "Let's go. We still have the mission to complete." she said happily. Naruto nodded and the two headed back across the water, once again protected by the dragons, before continuing their search.
Tazuna's House: That night
Following the small breakdown of Samui, and the great find of the summoning contract, Naruto and Samui had quickly returned to Tazuna's house only to find a serious looking Kushina and Fu. Naruto instantly schooled himself and landed in front of his fiancees. "What's the situation?" he asked, his tone even and in control.
Kushina shook her head, "Not good. We searched the East side, as instructed, and we were able to find the Nagas' base." she said, before she frowned deeply, "Unfortunately a patrol spotted us when we attempted to escape. We were able to hide for awhile until they brought out quite a bit of Naga, somewhere around a thousand I'm estimating. Jushiro stayed behind and held them off as me and Fu-chan escaped." she stated sadly. "We thought the information was more important that waiting for a rescue." she added.
Naruto grimaced, "That is Okay. I am glad you are alright. I will have to summon Fenrir and offer my condolences later. For now, let's get inside and think of a way to take them out." he said, gaining nods from his girls as they all headed inside. Tomorrow would be a bloody day for the Shinobi.
A/N: ANNNNNDDD DONE! I am sooooooo sorry it took so long my friends! I would do another funny spoof at the end, but I wanna get this posted so I hope you enjoyed this!
