The Fox Hidden in the Leaves

Chapter 38: It's Time Already?

----August 12, 9:00 AM, Hokage Tower----

Tsunade's office door opened and Shizune stepped in. "She's here Tsunade-sama."

"Bring her in Shizune." Tsunade said, then stood, moved to the front of her desk and put on her most intimidating Hokage face, ears folded back in anger.

Shizune escorted Kin to the middle of the room, five feet in front of Tsunade, moved to Tsunade's left side and stood, arms crossed over her chest.

Kin stood there in old sandles, worn blue pants and a very faded sleeveless purple shirt over a stretched out old sports bra to hold up her saggy breasts. Her hands were clasped together in front of her waist, head bowed in respect and fear. Her brown hair hung loosely past her butt. The five foot four inch girl had seen and done many things in her eighteen years, but right now the sight of the five foot ten inch, half Kitsune woman known as Tsunade.... had her more scared than a fully enraged Anko.

"Kin.... I've read all the reports since we brought you in. You gave us some trouble at first, but I understand that Anko convinced you to cooperate." Tsunade said and gave Kin a knowing smirk. "I know all about your special relationship with Anko. Since I let you out of your cell to an apartment you've had regular visits from Sasuke Uchiha.... and am pleased to say you passed your first evaluation." Tsunade's expression lightened some. "That's what brought us to today.... you now have a home and a job with a very good friend of mine, on probation for now, a woman I fully trust." Tsunade moved close to Kin, raised Kin's head with her left under Kin's chin, leaned down, looked straight into Kin's eyes, and gave Kin her most intense, terrifiing glare. "She's also a very close friend of Kurenai Yuuhi, Anko Mitarashi.... and Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze. You hurt her in any way.... you better pray to Kami that I, Kurenai or Anko get to you before Naruto does, because everything the three of us combined could do to you is nothing compared to what Naruto could do to you.... do you understand me cunt?" Tsunde said in her absolutely coldest tone, the last part enhanced by her Kitsune power.

Kin shook as an icey chill ran down her spine and she shuddered. "H,h,h,h,hai Tsunade-sama." Kin barely managed to stutter out.

Tsunade dropped all her anger and her chakra back to normal and smiled at Kin. "Good girl. Sorry if I was a little hard on you Kin, but I wanted to reinforce my point. If we didn't trust you already, you wouldn't be standing here now, you'd be in your cell. I'll give you a minute to relax and compose yourself before I take you to meet your boss and if all goes well new mother.... as I understand you don't have any family."

Kin took several deep breaths, composed herself enough to look calm. "Hai, Tsunade-sama. As far as I know my family is dead. If I may ask.... did Sasuke-kun say anything about me in his reports?" Kin said calmly, but she knew her feelings for Sasuke showed on her face.... and she'd accidently called him Sasuke-kun out loud.

Tsunade smirked. "He said you had potential." Tsunade smiled briefly at Kin's happy reaction. "If you're ready, follow me." Tsunade said, then made three Shadow Clones to handle the daily duties and left with Kin.

Shizune returned to her desk, a smile on her face.

----September 3, 9:24 AM, Namikaze Mansion----

Naruto sat at the head of the dinner table, watched as everyone finished their breakfast and remembered what'd happened since he returned from Snow Country a month ago with the Haruno family. The first two days were stressful.... to say the least.... but it had worked out. With his and Hinata's help, Ouka had adjusted to her new body in a week and moved in with Sakari. He still hadn't fully adjusted to having so many people around all the time.... most of them female, especially his new mate Sakura. It took him almost two weeks to get used to her personal habits, but now that he'd been in her mindscape and shared her thoughts and feelings they'd become comfortable. As with Hinata, there were certain parts of her mind he didn't look at out of respect for her privacy.

----Tayuya's Bedroom----

Tayuya ate earlier and was in her room, the door closed and locked, she wore her new silk panties, purple with a red Mate Mark embroidered on the front. Her real Mate Mark was on the right side of her neck, though she'd wanted it on her breast Naruto wouldn't do it. She stood and stared at her open closet, her ears flat against the top of her head blended with her hair, her red tail waved slowly behind her. She wasn't alone though, to her right on the floor sat a three foot nine inch crimson fox with black fur where others had white fur. "Anko-sensei finally gave us a day off and I just stand here in my panties.... what do you think I should wear today Onnazuki-chan?"

"Temari-chan will be here in about thirty minutes with Tsunade-sama remember, Temari-chan has a date with Shikamaru tonight and wanted you to help her get a sexy new dress to wear." Onnazuki said.

"Ah shit, I totally forgot.... I had this really hot dream last night about Naruto-kun and I've been distracted.... thank you. Temari would of beaten me silly with her fan if I'd forgotten. Since Naruto-kun Marked me I've had trouble keeping my urges under control.... Yugito-chan's lessons don't even help much. I need to train harder, I'm still not use to this much power, my second stage Curse Mark form wasn't this strong." Tayuya said.

Onnazuki laughed. "Don't worry about it Tayuya-chan, I'll help you with that later, Shinkou taught me how to control my urges and I'm much worse than you, remember when you first summoned me? They should work for you too." Onnazuki said.

Tayuya laughed. "You were in your fox form, curled up while you licked your pussy.... the look on Naruto-kun's face was priceless, and don't try to tell me you were just grooming, we all saw your big clit." Tayuya said and laughed.

Onnazuki snorted and blushed, though it couldn't be seen under her fur. "I was alone in my den and my guard was down, I didn't think I'd be chosen as a Guardian.... how about the purple stretch pants and the tight blue v-neck shirt with Naruto-sama's new Clan symbol on the back."

Tayuya stopped laughing, bent down and rubbed Onnazki's head. "Great idea, I wanted to show Naruto-kun one of my new outfits, this is the perfect time." Tayuya stepped up to her closet, removed the suggested items from the hangers, went to the bed and laid them out. "Are you going to join us, you know you're welcome."

"Will I have to use my full human form.... I hate hiding the fact I'm a Kitsune because some fucking outsiders are in the village." Onnazuki said with a little anger.

"I know how you feel, I'll ask Tsunade-chan, she'll know. No matter what.... after lunch I'll take you to Kinomi's for ice cream." Tayuya said and smiled.

Onnazuki smiled and her tail waved excitedly, ice cream was her favorite treat.

"You could always shrink to small fox size and I'll carry you.... I'll even let you ride in my cleavage." Tayuya said, the last part with a sly smirk. Tayuya knew that would make her happy, Kiba did it with Akamaru in his coat when the dog was small. Besides, it'd become common in Konoha recently to see pretty girls with a pet fox.... though the citizens knew the truth it fooled any outsiders.

----9:43 AM, Sakura's Bedroom----

Sakura stood in front of her mirror in her new sandles, black shorts, a weapon pouch strapped to both thighs, black fingerless gloves, a red crop top with Naruto's Clan Symbol on the front covered her firm F cup breasts, held in a red sports bra, and her Hitai-ite that she now wore on her forehead to symbolize her new strength and confidence, her pink hair now in a ponytail that hung to the middle of her back. As Sakura thought back on the last month she suddenly laughed.

"What's so funny Sakura-chan?" Said the pink-haired Kitsune girl sat on end of Sakura's bed, She stood five foot four, two inches shorter than Sakura, was the same age and build. She wore the same outfit except her top was pink, her hitai-ite was on top of her head behind her pink fox ears, her ponytail hung to her waist, and her pink hair had a red streak in the middle that went from the front to just past her ears.

"I just remembered what I had to do two weeks ago for Tenten. I still can't believe she did it Korikou-chan." Sakura said.

Korikou giggled. "You mean the bet about Sasuke.... she won because she didn't chase him like some fangirl or fawn all over him.... besides, you know you enjoyed it as much as Ino-chan and the other three kunoichi you went to the Academy with. So just admit it Sakura-chan."

Sakura blushed red. "Hai. That was a private bet between the five of us so don't you tell anyone Korikou-chan or I'll make you stay in your fox form, shave you bald and walk you around the village."

Korikou's eyes got big as saucers. "I promise Sakura-sama, I won't tell anyone." Korikou said submissively.

Sakura turned, smiled and gave her Kitsune Guardian a kiss on the forehead. "Don't worry, I know you wouldn't do anything like that to me. I'm sorry I scared you like that, I think Tsunade and Naruto rubbed off on me more than I thought." Sakura said, giggled, then hugged her warmly.

Korikou smiled. "That's okay Sakura-chan. Can we go see Naruto-sama before we leave?" Korikou said, pulled away with a big smile on her face and hope in her big pink eyes.

Sakura smiled and nodded.

----September 6, 12:13 PM, Konoha Woods----

In a hidden clearing in an unused section of the Konoha woods past the Training Grounds, was a small hot spring, it was only big enough for one person, not enough to build a business around, but it had one regular visitor. She was on the ground on her hands and knees, drenched in sweat.... and totally nude. "I finally.... got.... that jutsu.... right." Ino said between pants, a huge smile of satisfaction on her face. Ino laughed then winced when her breasts shook. "Oh Kami they hurt.... and I think I used too much chakra, but if I can get to the spring I'll be fine." Ino said and crawled toward the spring. She'd been in this situation before and was confident she could make it, the spring was only twenty feet away. As she crawled she moaned and winced, her entire body ached, even her hair seemed to hurt. Five feet from the spring she got light-headed and collapsed, her round E cup breasts squashed under her. "Oh Kami.... not now, please.... I'm almost there...." Ino had found this place a few years ago, and knew right away no one else knew about it. Ino knew she was about to pass out and if she lost consciousness from chakra exhaustion here, she'd be in serious trouble. Her mind raced to find a way out.... then she remembered the shopping trip for Tayuya, and Naruto's comment about knowing people's secrets. "Naruto.... I have no choice, he's my only chance." Ino said weakly, summoned all her remaining strength and screamed in a desperate attempt to save herself. "NARUTO HELP!" Ino put her head down and let the darkness take her, the last thought she had was about Naruto.

----12:46 PM, Hokage Mansion----

She opened her eyes, saw a worried but angry face, blonde hair, eyes with vertical slit pupils.... and realized she was still nude. "Tsunade-sama I can explain!" Ino said, worried.

"Calm down Ino you're still weak. Naruto-kun didn't tell me where he found you, why you were nude or why your chakra is nearly depleted.... I gave you some of my chakra to replenish your reserves enough that you can get home by yourself. If I hadn't you'd spend two weeks in the hospital.... and then I'd kick your ass. I won't tell anyone this time as a favor to Naruto-kun.... but don't do this to me again unless you've been seriously injured." Tsunade said, then kissed Naruto and left the room.

"You're in a bedroom of the Hokage Mansion, no one here will say anything about why you're here so don't worry." Naruto said, then leaned in close to Ino's face, his expression very serious. "I'm only going to say this once.... I love you as one of my close friends and would give my life to protect you.... but if you ever do something like that again you arrogant bitch.... not only will I tell the whole village all your little secrets, but you'll spend the rest of your life hopelessly addicted to Sakura's pussy, your only reason for living will be to make Sakura happy. Do you understand me you stupid cunt?" Naruto said coldly.

Ino was beyond shocked, tears streamed from her eyes, she was on the verge of a total breakdown. She couldn't believe Naruto had said that to her. "I.... I'm so sorry Naruto-sama." Ino said and covered her face with her hands, her face red from shame and humiliation.

Naruto gently pulled Ino's hands away from her face, looked in her eyes and smiled warmly. "Ino, I'm sorry I was so rough on you but if you hadn't been able to call out for me you could of laid there unconscious for a week, even died because nobody knew where you were, do you understand? From now on I'll have a Kitsune there as a guard, and to help you if you need it. I used to do that too, push myself to exhaustion, but you know why I could do it safely, you can't push yourself that hard and be fine a couple hours later. Ok Ino-chan?"

Ino smiled, reached up and gave Naruto a heartfelt hug, something she'd never done before. "You're right Naruto-kun and I'm sorry I put you and Tsunade-sama through that.... are you going to tell my parents?"

"Not this time.... but you owe me big for this...." Naruto said, then reached over with his close hand and firmly grabbed Ino's bare pussy so his claws poked but didn't pierce her tender skin and made her wince. "I always collect on my debts, we'll talk later about what that'll be.... understood." Naruto said, gave her an uncomfortable squeeze and released her.

"Hai.... Naruto-sama." Ino said in submission, then watched him cross the room.

Naruto stopped at the door. "Ino.... even after I marry Sakura we won't have sex until I think you've earned that pribilage, what you did was stupid and you'll be punushed.... but your birthday is the twenty-third and for that I'll do something special for you." Naruto said without lokking at her, then left and shut the door behind him.

Normally she'd of been enraged someone grabbed her, especially there, but she knew in her heart she couldn't do anything. She knew Naruto owned her now, but not just because of this, she didn't have a problem with that though. It actually turned her on to think about being his slave. "If I'd gotten to the spring this wouldn't of happened.... but I get the feeling I'm going to be glad this happened. I need someone, so who's still single...." Ino said, thought a moment then smiled, got up and saw her clothes o a chair, Naruto had grabbed them from the clearing.

----September 10, 5:06 PM, Namikaze Compound----

Anko stood near the Training Course in her armor and looked at her three panting students, her expression hid her happiness. "You've all improved a lot in the last month. even more than I thought you would.... I'm impressed. As a reward you've earned your names back. Congratulations Yugito, Tayuya, Isaribi." Anko said and smiled proudly.

The three girls went bug-eyed and slack-jawed for a moment, then smiled ear-to-ear and hugged each other excitedly as they cheered.

"To celebrate, I'll give everyone a half hour in Naruto's private hot spring and then dinner out, my treat." Anko said.

The three girls rushed Anko and group hugged her.

"Ok, enough of this mushy shit, let's hit the hot springs." Anko said, then lead her team into the house.

----The Iron Kimono----

Kurenai walked to the back of the store, casually glanced at clothes on the way, and sat in her usual chair. She wasn't quite used to normal clothes yet. She wasn't in armor as she used to be, today she wore sandles, black shorts that showed off her legs and an oversized red t-shirt hung loose over her larger but firm braless breasts, her waist length deep crimson hair hung loose down her back. "Good evening Hotaru-chan.... sorry I haven't been here in a couple days, so how are you doing?"

"Hello Kurenai-chan.... it's ok, I've been busy training my new helper and getting used to having a daughter. Come here sweety." Hotaru said.

Kin came out of the back room with two big bolts of cloth in her arms. "Here's the fabric you wanted mom...." Kin stopped and smiled. "Hello Kurenai-chan, how's the mother-to-be today?" Kin said then put the two bolts of cloth on the counter by Hotaru. "You're here to pick up the new clothes for Anko-sama?"

"Hai. How are our dresses for Naruto and Hinata's wedding coming.... I shouldn't have too much of a belly by then." Kurenai said with a playful smile.

"You'll be beautiful Kurenai-chan, so will Anko-chan. I've made clothes for half the guests already, have twenty more to make by eight o'clock tomorrow morning.... I still have to get Hinata-chan and Naruto-kun in here to be fitted.... and I haven't had a good night sleep in almost two weeks!" Hotaru said exasperated.

"And you wouldn't have it any other way." Kurenai said with a smile.

Hotaru smiled broadly and nodded. "I've waited years for this, I'm so happy for them I could burst. Kin, go fix Kurenai some tea." Hotaru said and waited a moment for Kin to leave the room. "She has a real gift for clothes and fashion. She opened her heart to me finally.... please thank Tsunade-sama for me and tell her to make it official." Hotaru said with a big smile.

----September 11, 8:07 AM, Hospital----

"How do they look Hinata-chan?" Tsunade said.

Hinata deactivated her Kitsuugan and turned to Tsunade. "No change Tsunade-sama, his chakra coils haven't reverted, they're as strong as they should be for his level, though he's never used a jutsu. He can start his chakra training today."

"YOSH! That is great Hinata-chan, I will train very hard and become a great ninja one day!" Rock Lee said with his bright smile and classic thumbs up pose.

Tsunade laughed at his antics. "I'm glad Naruto's Kitsune Mark worked Lee, but we'll have to find a new way for you to use it, you still can't do any hand signs can't you/" Tsunade said almost sadly.

"No Tsunade-sama, my fingers lack the flexibility." Lee said sadly then bowed.

"Don't worry Lee, Jiraiya and I know a few techniques you can use, I think Guy does aloa,, and I'd bet that Naruto-kun could come up with some.... you may end up with your own style. You can leave when you're ready lee." Tsunade said with a smile.

"Thank you Tsunade-sama, I'll ask Guy-sensei immediately." Rock Lee said excitedly.

Tsunade and Hinata smiled, nodded and left lee's room.

----8:12 AM, Snow Country, Throne Room----

Naruto caught the girl that jumped on him and wrapped herself around his body. "Hello Kusetsu-chan, I missed you too."

Princess Kusetsu gave Naruto a big kiss on the cheek and released him, a big smile on her face.

Naruto looked down at her and his eyes widened. "Kusetsu-chan.... you grew!"

Kusetsu smiled big. "Koyuki-neechan said I had a growth spurt.... part of me did anyway, I'm not any taller. Aren't they huge though.... I grew five cup sizes in two weeks, I'm bigger than Koyuki-chan now!" Princess Kusetsu said proudly and stuck out her chest, her red shirt now stretched tight across her obviously braless, H cup breasts and large, hard nipples.

'She's not marked Kyuubi, but you didn't give her any chakra while we were here did you?' Naruto thought.

'Of course not Naruto-kun, I...." Kyuubi thought then clenched her jaw tightly a moment. 'In the Training Hall sha accidently cut her hand and I used a healing jutsu on her so it wouldn't show, it should't of had any other effect, but it is possible she could of absorbed a tiny amount.'

Naruto briefly activated his kitsune vision, looked at Kusetsu closely and sighed quietly. 'She has the tiniest trace of it in her system, its almost undetectable though.... but isn't enough to be dangerous. What's done is done so don't worry about it Kyuubi-chan.'

'Thank you Naruto-sama, and I'll be more areful in the future.' Kyuubi thought.

"I'm sorry Princess Koyuki, she got away from me again." The Royal Advisor said.

"Naruto-kun loves big boobies like mine, but unlike you he's a gentleman not a pervert.... and with him here you can't make me do anything!" Kusetsu said, stuck out her tongue at him, then hugged Naruto and squashed her huge breasts against him.

Naruto smirked. She was now more developed than a normal thirteen year old, he'd have a talk with Koyuki later about certain things.

"I told you that was an accident Princess, if you'd behaved it wouldn't of happened!" He said, red-faced.

"We were at a formal party, she got bored and decided to entertain herself. He tried to stop her she tried to get away, he slipped and accidently grabbed her breasts." Princess Koyuki said with an amused smile.

Naruto gently pulled Kusetsu off him then hugged Princess Koyuki. He'd mentally blocked her since he left, but now that he was there he read her thoughts. When he heard her request and saw her pleading playful expression, he subtly glanced at her Advisor, then smirked and mentally replied. 'You're mean, but it's a great prank on someone like him, I'll do it, but we need to have an important talk about Kusetsu-chan later.' Naruto thought to her.

'Hai, and thank you Naruto-kun.' Princess Koyuki thought.

Princess Kusetsu saw a rare but familiar smirk on her adopted older sister's face and smirked back briefly. They didn't get to do it much, but she loved to pull pranks with Koyuki when they had the all too rare free time to just be sisters.

Naruto turned Koyuki around like she was property and pulled her hair aside to see the Kitsune Mark on the back of her neck. "Good to see my brand is still in place." Naruto said, turned her back around so she faced him, then grabbed the bottom of her shirt, yanked it up over her braless, round F cup breasts, then grabbed and squezed them, she moaned in pain and went to her knees. Naruto glanced at the Royal Advisor then the guards in the room and smiled to himself at their shocked faces. "You still have great breasts my royal slut." His grip didn't really hurt so he wasn't worried, she was a great actress though.

"Oh Naruto-sama I've been bad, punish my breasts!" Princess Koyuki moaned out in pained submission. She saw her Advisor's go pale from shock and just wanted to laugh, but that would spoil the fun.

"I've been bad Naruto-sama, my breasts must be punished too!" Princess Kusetsu said and shook her chest hard.

The Advisor fainted, unable to habdle anymore.

Princess Kusetsu smirked playfully, hands on her hips. "Was it something we said?"

Naruto released Princess Koyuki so she could stand and pull down her shirt. "Oh Kami that was fun, I haven't pranked anyone in years! That was worthy of me Koyuki-chan, I didn't know you could be so sneaky." Naruto said and smiled.

"Thank you Naruto-kun." Princess Koyuki said then bowed.

"You did great too Kusetsu-chan." Naruto said.

Princess Kusetsu blushed and smiled proudly.

"So where's Hisame-chan, I need to talk to her too." Naruto said.

----11:04 AM, Konoha ANBU Headquarters----

"Thank you Naruto-kun, I know you haven't seen her since the interrogation, but she's been a model prisoner, in fact she's gone out of her way to impress us. Her cell is so clean you could eat off the floor." Tsunade said sincerely.

"Even I don't have the heart to torture her. I've never seen anyone try so hard in my life, she'd even impress you.... she wants nothing more now than to redeem herself to you and Hinata-chan." Anko said.

Naruto sighed. "Ok.... I'll talk to her Tsunade-chan, but I don't care if you are Hokage, this time I will not promise you anything concerning her, beyond our deal, and that's final. If she wants out of that cell she better prove to me she deserves it." Naruto said sternly and crossed his arms over his chest, his face emotionless.

"Hai, Naruto. You have our word, she's changed." Tsunade said.

Naruto nodded. "I have things to do, let's get this over with."

Tsunade followed Anko into the cell, Naruto was behind her.

When she saw Anko enter her cell she bowed respectfully, then again to Tsunade, but when she saw Naruto her eyes got as big as saucers. A second later she was on her knees, her head and body flat against the floor in the most respectful and submissive bow possible. "I'm most honored to have you grace my most unworthy self with your divine presence Naruto-sama, it would be my honor to be beaten by you, if you think me worthy." Kumo said, her forehead still pressed against the floor.

Naruto went slack-jawed, Tsunade and Anko hadn't exaggerated. He knew right away why she was like this and felt guilty he'd not even given her a chance, this wasn't the same girl that had attacked Hinata. His anger had blinded him, he just hoped he could undo the emotional damage he'd done. 'I should of listened to Hinata-chan, if she's not mad I shouldn't be either.' Naruto thought.
