AN: Thanks for the alerts, et al. It's been a long wait, but here's 1200 minutes of my time for you. I keep thinking that even though I write these 9,000 + word essays, that I could chop them up into several uploads so that my story can be on the front page of the sort for more days, but I can't bring myself to do that. I was going to include a couple more scenes further into this segment, but they will have to wait a bit until after break when I won't have the time, etc... to finish them.
Don't forget to give me some feedback, please!
Naruto
Naruto hoisted his backpack and began to walk to the inn where Shikimaru had said they would be staying the night. Why couldn't they just wait for me! It's so boring having to walk alone. Naruto adjusted the backpack again, and began to march out, soon realizing that he had never actually been sent out on a mission alone; there was no one that he could jabber at to fill the silence. Walking down the road he looked at the fields as they spread over the countryside. The gently rolling hills, some covered with pastures and dotted with farm animals. There were expanses of rice paddies, and the occasional small stand of trees and shrubs. It was a beautiful day; the sun was warm, the clouds sparse, and a deep blue sky.
In the distance there were mountains that seemed shrouded in mist. Naruto could hear the birds in the fields chirping, and the scrape of his own boots on the gravel and sand beneath them. The sounds he made were harsh in the beautiful world he was traveling through. Although he had traveled this road many times, this was the first without Jiraiya, Kakashi or the other members of Team Seven. He stopped and stood in the middle of the road, and just looked around, viewing the familiar landscape as if it was newly discovered and never explored. The world was truly beautiful on this beautiful day.
Naruto unhitched his backpack, and put it on the road. He unzipped his jacket and knotted the sleeves around his narrow waist. He was wearing a black t-shirt that was a bit cropped at the waist, his navel just sticking out, and cool breeze caressed the exposed skin and ruffled his blond hair. It will be getting warmer soon enough, he thought as he tied the sleeves. Picking up his pack again, it resettled on his back, high enough to keep him in balance, and he started again to walk the road, the sound of the gravel again in his ears. He looked up and saw the road as it stretched out in front of him, fading into a distant expanse; the line of telephone poles along side of it, each one progressively smaller as they shrank in a never ending line. It's only a couple miles from here that the forest will start again. And that stream where Jiraiya first tested me and told me about my red chakra. Life was so much simpler then… Picking up his pace, he quick marched to that place where his new life as a shinobi truly began.
Kohage's Office
Tsunade had held her head in her hands, she had a powerful headache. Whether it was due from the amount of sake she had drunk the night before or the problem she was facing this morning wasn't the question, but that she had been so easily duped by one of her own shinobi many years her junior. I just wanted the best for him, that teme kid. I never should have left him alone, and now he's gone off after Naruto, I'm sure, just when I got him separated from Sasuke, and I'm going to have to waste more resources to bring him back. I can't send his own teammates against him since they all share a very close personal relationship and I can't be sure that they won't give in to his wishes.
The door to the office opened, and a very demure Sakura walked in, her hands held in front of her, and her head downcast. Tsunade glanced at her with one eye opened between the fingers holding her head up. And I have to deal with her new side business and its cause and effect on the village. Three villagers have died this week while having sex with their wives, and in one case without their wife's consent, and they were all over 80! The two consenting wives said that they got some potion from Sakura when they answered a tear-off flyer in the bathhouse promising them a better love life with their husbands.
"You asked for me, Tsunade-san?" asked Sakura in a quiet voice – she knew something was wrong.
"Yes, I did. I really don't want to know what your new little business is, but I think I know. What I want to tell you is that three villagers have died in the last week while according to their wives; they were having sex continually for more than an hour. While I am sure that two of the ladies did want to have sex, they didn't expect to have to visit a doctor afterwards for themselves, once the mortician and the monks took the husband's body away. The third one wasn't willing and found her husband's advances unwelcome, she's in the hospital with trauma injuries and a severe mental breakdown- she had been married to the man who raped her for more than 40 years."
"gomenasi, gomenasi…" Sakura said barely in a whisper.
"Also, I want to tell you that anything you might come up with while you're working at the hospital, is the property of the hospital, and they will benefit from any profits you're making as payment for your use of the facilities."
Sakura bit her lip as she heard this, she had sold a lot of her potion, and it was becoming very popular. There had only been issues when people didn't follow the directions, and used too much of the potion on their clothes or bed sheets, but this was the first time she had heard of anyone being more than a bit sore afterwards. Maybe I just shouldn't sell it to anyone over 50….
"Anyway, I have a short mission, a two part mission for you as punishment, before you meet with Shizune and give her a full breakdown of your sales when you come back." Tsunade picked her head up and looked at Sakura full in the face.
"First part, go find that little bastard Konohamaru, and bring him back here for treatment. Second part, before you come back with him, I need you collect some more samples from Naruto and bring them back with you." Tsunade's eyes glinted as she said this.
"Tsunade-san, w-w-what do you mean by 'samples' from Naruto-kun?"
"Specimens. I want you to bring back some specimens from Naruto-kun, say at least 10cc and preferably more. I would say 30cc would be ideal."
"You mean 30cc of blood? Or do you mean stool or urine?" said a shaking Sakura, who was beginning to think her master meant something else."
"You can bring those back too, it might be interesting, but we need more samples of his semen. I want you to bring back about 30cc, that should be fine," said a grinning Tsunade.
"But Tsunade-san, according to what I remember from my medical texts, 5cc is a lot for a single…" Sakura stopped when she saw Tsunade's grin widen. Her shoulders slumped as she realized the magnitude of this punishment. "Where can I find him, didn't you send him on a mission?"
"Shikamaru said that they would be staying at that ryokan, Green Leaf, on the outskirts of fire country. You should find that Konohamaru is on his way there, too. One more thing, remember Naruto's spew is toxic and you should avoid direct contact." Tsunade could hear Sakura snap her teeth as she closed her mouth tightly.
"Wha-what do you think I'm going to do to get your specimen!" Sakura barked at her.
"Sakura-chan, you will do, what ever it is that makes it possible for you to collect it, I could expect no less from my apprentice. You're at least an hour or two hour behind the boys, by now, I suggest you gather up a few things, and get on your way. Here are some emergency soldier pills for you to boost up so you can catch up." Tsunade tossed the pill packet at her, and swiveled around in her chair. "On your way out, tell Shizune to bring in some cold sake for me, I don't care any longer what time it is or what she thinks about my drinking. I need a drink. Good luck on your mission." Looking out the window at the Kohona valley, Tsunade sighed. All these people….are my responsibility. A bird flew high in the distance. I wish I could be as free as that bird…Tsunade heard footsteps as they left the office, the door open and close, and she sighed again.
Out in the hallway, Sakura clenched her fists. Her nails were gouging deep into her palms. She thought one of her palms was bleeding. Naruto-kun's semen! Just how am I supposed to…? A tear formed at the corner of her eye, as Sakura blinked, it got caught in her lashes, and she brushed it away with the back of her hand. Opening the still clenched fist wet with the tear, she turned it over and looked at the four dark lines that her nails had made and small pearl of blood that started to ooze out of it. Directing some of her chakra she stopped the bleeding and healed the opening. Almost as good as Kyubbi. She squared her shoulders and started making a dash to her home; I'm going to need a few things if we're going to be at a ryokan , and since it's Naruto we're talking about I'm going to need some super-sized condoms, unless I can just ask him to jerk off into a cup a few times. Screw Tsunade's sake!
Sai and Shikimaru
Shikimaru was silent as he and Sai made their way to the ryokan they were to stay the next couple of days. We should have stayed and waited for Naruto. I could have restrained him with shadow jitsu if he was angry. I wonder if Naruto's going to make it by dinner or not? But without that bakka, we're making really good time; I'll be able to relax a bit before he gets here. Sai's ROOT training was very good, he's definitely as good as an ANBU. Shikimaru was lost in thought as he and Sai leapt along the treed pathway to the inn with the hot springs. During one segment, Sai took the lead giving Shikimaru a long time to contemplate the firm buttocks that were a short distance in front of him as they flexed under the thin material that covered them. Sai's low cut pants left little to the imagination, as Shikimaru thought at times he could see the small of Sai's back and few inches below, a flash of crack every now and then as Sai stretched and leapt in front of him. Damn that Temari! She should have come to Konoha before I left, I'm thinking too much about my dick. This is so troublesome…but there may be some benefits, too. Shikimaru smiled as he thought of being with Sai in one of the private baths; a full belly, maybe a beer or two; you never know what could happen at a ryokan!
Soon, the two young men came upon the village where the ryokan was located. Actually there were more than one, but Konoha ninjas usually stayed at the 'Green Leaf' rather than any others, and there was a signing account for any of the standard expenses, a regular room and the regular meals that could be upgraded by the shinobi willing to spend some of their own money for the perks of a private bath, bigger room or better meals. He had sent messages ahead asking for a larger two room suite with its own bath. After all, they were going to pretend to be just lackeys in the princess' party for the next month, they might only get to bathe in a cold stream and sleep on the bare ground, as a part of the mission. The ryokan was a last chance for their comfort before the hard work began. They walked along the partially cobbled street to the inn, and ducked under the noren that hung in front of the doorway. Inside they stood on a river stone paved door well, leading to the highly polished wide wooden planks of the inn. Before they had even taken a single breath, there in front of them was the ryokan's owner, prostrate on the step bidding them welcome in her kimono.
"Shikimaru-san, welcome, welcome. It's been a long time, since we saw you last," said the older woman, as she lifted her head up. She looked Shikimaru in the face. "You look just like your father, yes!" She nodded her head again, before she clapped her hands together. Almost magically a youth in a blue yukata, appeared with a tray next to her, kneeling down. He offered the small white and neatly rolled up towels to the two shinobi standing there. "Please refresh your selves with these," he said in a polite voice, steam drifted upwards from the rolled towels.
"Shikimaru-san," the woman said as she watch, the two use the towels to wipe the sweat and road dirt from their faces. "You're earlier than we expected, please forgive me, I don't have your room ready, yet." She bowed again as she said these words. "Also, I thought that there were going to be four of you, at least that's what the message this morning said."
"Four? There are three of us, one will be arriving in a little while, Uzumaki is coming later. This is Sai." Shikimaru detected a small frowning on the woman's face at the mention of Naruto's family name.
"Welcome, Sai-san, it's a pleasure to have you visit our establishment. Shikimaru-san, please excuse me, but I have a message from Shizune-san this morning that changed all that very specifically. You and Sai-san are to be share one room and a second room for the other two shinobi. Meanwhile, let Taru-kun here; bring you some tea and cakes while I finish getting the two rooms ready. Perhaps your party's other members will arrive shortly." She bowed again, and then gracefully rose and left the entrance.
"Honored guests, would you please allow me?" asked Taru-kun with a short bow. "I have some slippers for you over here," he said, as he slid a small wall panel aside to reveal a row of power blue slippers.
Sai and Shikimaru sat on the ledge and first handed the used hand towels back to the youth, and then removed their boots, leaving them to be cleaned up by the staff. Stepping up on the floor they were fitted with slippers by the still kneeling boy, who stood when he had completed the task.
"Sirs, what kind of tea would you like? We have a vast selection of different teas, green teas, red teas, fermented, herbal. Do you have a preference?"
"Green tea for me, a young mountain leaf. Sai what would you like?" asked Shikimaru.
"Green tea is fine with me, Nara-kun," said a smiling Sai.
Nara-KUN! He's never called me that before. Maybe dick-boy will be of some use after all. I hope it won't be troublesome as this trip is turning out. I wonder who the fourth person is, and why didn't Tsunade or Shizune tell me they were sending someone else. And why separate rooms, too. That's expensive; we could have all stayed together. Unless it's Sasuke, he can afford his own room, and wouldn't want to be without Naruto. Hnnnn. I need a smoke to think about this, although separate rooms with Sai might make things easier, later.
"I'll bring the green tea and some mochi to go with it right away." Taru-kun said as he bowed, "Please come over here, we have a lovely view of the mountains in the room over here." He led them down a narrow hall to a large shoji screen and opened it wide. The beautifully sparse eight tatami mat room had a small low table with pillows to sit or lean on, a long low cabinet against a side wall, with only a single flower vase on it, with a traditional sparse arrangement. The walls and furniture were all natural wood and seemed to have its own glow. True to the boy's words, the room had one whole side setup as a window with a shaded overhang and a small narrow porch. "Will this do, honored sirs?"
"Certainly, it's a beautiful room. I've been here many times, but this is the first time that I've sat in here." Shikimaru said as he stepped in. Stepping over to the open porch, he stood and reached into his pocket to get his cigarettes and lighter.
Sai followed him in, his eyes widened at the view from the room. "This view is framed exceptionally well." He reached into his backpack with a casual motion, and pulled out his brush box and a pad. "It makes me want to draw." He walked up to the edge of the room and sat fluidly down, taking his back pack off as he did so. It seems that as he hit the floor the pad and a brush was in his hands and quickly moving over the paper.
Taru-kun bowed at the two young men's backs. "I'll be be back shortly with the tea and mochi." Closing the shoji screen he scurried off to the kitchen. That Sai-kun is so cute! I could hardly keep from touching that flat belly of his! I wonder if he'll let me wash his back, later. Taru brushed the bulge in the front of his robe to the side, feeling the fundoshi between his cheeks tighten as the material strained at the front. Hurrying to the kitchen, he slid between the busy cooks and kitchen staff to get the tea service he liked best for these new guests.
Naruto
The blonde was dripping with sweat, as predicted the day had heated up, and his fox trot to the river where he had first worked with Ero-sensei was invigorating. The riverbank lay before him. Sunlight sparkled on the water as it flowed by. Charging his feet with chakra, Naruto made his way across the stream, to the other side, which had a sandy beach, sand that was warm between his toes as he stepped into the other shore and his boot sank into the fine granules. A short jog around the bend was where it was more private and had a long shoal mid stream that made for a sheltered pool between it and the shore. It was a great place for a swim to cool off.
This is a nice as I remember it. I can take a dip, and really clean up before I get to the inn and I can even rinse out my underwear, too. Checking around to make sure that it was still as private as he remembered, Naruto soon stripped down to nothing and walked into the sheltered water. It's colder than I thought! Taking another step, and then running, he dove shallowly into the water, the chill ran through his entire body, he felt his skin tighten all over and goose bumps appeared everywhere. His testicles rose and clung to his body to retain their heat as the sack that held him shriveled and shrank. His penis shrunk to the size of his thumb, almost disappearing in the short shock of blond pubes. Naruto stroked a couple times under water, frog kicking. The wide legged stance allowed the water to flow all over the naked him, especially around his genitals and between his firm cheeks. His wrinkled rosebud winked in the water as his legs drew up in the wide stance.
A few more strokes and he headed up to breach the surface, and in a swirl of water cascading down his body as it left the water like a trout jumping for May flies, the drops sparkling in the sunlight, the water glinting as it ran along his bare skin and back into the river. Naruto's face was bright in the light, a smile on his face, the blond locks spreading spray around him. A small breeze rushed by, reminding him that summer had not really come, and he again grew small bumps on his skin as he righted and stood in the flowing water. Diving in again, he swam back to his starting spot, and lay on his belly in the very shallow water by the sandy beach in the sun, it was so much warmer than the river's depth.
Lying with his head on his forearm, he looked across the waterway, to the trees that lined the other bank, and the distant mountains. The sun was warm on his back. It was very good to be alive. Water lapped at his sides as his lighter skinned butt lay exposed to the light, his feet still covered in the cold wetness. I wish Sasuke was here. Hnnn, that reminds me, I need to wash him out of my shorts. Standing up, the blond nude strode to his bag and took out the soiled garment. Now that his nostrils were cleansed by the fresh water, he could smell the sweat, semen and ass-juice that permeated the garment. Holy crap, this really stinks! (dattebayo!) Holding it by what he hoped was a cleaner waistband; he carried the stiff shorts to the water's edge and dunked it into the water until it softened up. Then he grasped it in two hands and began to rub it against itself under water, the downstream side appeared to cloudy up as he rubbed the garment. Soon the water flowed clearly from the cloth, and Naruto held it in one hand as the water flowed through it and billowed out the shorts.
All this time he was crouched with knees akimbo as his junk hung between his legs, and dried. He casually adjusted the loosening skin with his free hand, and stood with the dripping shorts in the other. Walking with the sopping garment, he went back to his bag, and then wrung the excess water out over a flat rock to wash it of loose dirt and dust, then carefully he pulled the garment wide over it to dry in the sun. I guess I'll take a nap while this dries. Naruto turned and stretched his arms over his head, arched his back, tightened his ass cheeks and felt all the skin on his body slide over him loosening up as it was pulled over his muscles, and dried in the bright sun.He picked a sandy spot and checked it for small rocks, chucking them away, and lay down on his back, his arms behind his head looking up into the high vault of the sky with its few puffy wisps of clouds. The birds chirped in the trees, the water lapped the shore. The sun was warming him up. It was a perfect day.
Soon his eyes began to close, he watched in his mind as the sky became blue slits, and then nothing, as he fell asleep on the shore.
Naruto dreamed of what his life had become with Sasuke almost living in with him. He felt so comfortable when he returned home to find Sasuke there. The two of them hanging out, having dinner together almost every night, and breakfasts, too. There was Sasuke, washing his back in the bath, and he washing Sasuke's. Naruto loved touching Sasuke's thin skin over his firm muscles. The thickness of all the scars on Sasuke were almost erotic to Naruto, he loved to torture Sasuke with his fingers tracing them all over his body. At first Sasuke almost came to blows with Naruto when he did it, claiming it was painful, but now, he moaned, growled and got hard when it was done to him. Naruto licked his lips as he dreamt of kissing Sasuke on his neck, behind his ears, his breasts and working his way to that stiff and heated tube between the muscular thighs. He had become expert at sucking Sasuke off, he knew when to hold back or give him more tongue than mouth. Naruto's mouth gaped as he slept, his pearly whites glinting in the sun. He knew how tight to squeeze Sasuke's balls as he allowed Sasuke to thrust deep into his throat and when to probe between the lean cheeks to that secret dark place and the hidden knot that would set Sasuke firing volley after volley into his mouth. He licked his lips again, tasting the dried salts from the stream; thinking it was the salty flow he fed from often. His own organ rose turgid in the sunlight, as only a passing bird and a small river crab scuttled by, they heard him say softly, "Sasuke-kun, do me, too."
Sasuke knelt beside him, and lifted Naruto's organ between his fingers, running them up and down. Naruto could feel himself stiffen further. It felt like there was a breeze the caressed him, as Sasuke's breathe caressed his heated organ. Then he felt Sasuke take him in, he felt the increasing tightness as Sasuke sank lower and lower, it was so tight! Still he could feel the tightness spread over him, almost to the root, but it was so weightless, he felt like there was nothing there at all, and then he felt the gripping movement and Naruto lifted his hips into the warmth and tightness. Up and down it stroked, pausing to tickle his slit and the edge of his corona, and the crease underneath.
The lightness of it, Sasuke was never this delicate, this erotic. The heavy stroke came again, his full length, from tip to root. Sasuke grasped his balls in a warm hand as he seemed to tongue the slit of his penis, so gently, and then the heavy stroke up and down. His testicles stayed high when the warm hand released them, Naruto could feel his breathing becoming ragged, as another couple of strokes glided down his shaft, he licked his lips again, wishing Sasuke would swing around and give his access so he could reciprocate the wonderful feelings, as he felt himself go even harder. The sliding up and down on his tight turgid torpedo armed him further, and then Sasuke suddenly touched his trigger, touching him deep within, causing him to buck and fire into the weightlessness that gripped him tight. His whole body stiffened, toes curled as he shot volley after volley into what seem to be the air, he dick was hot, and wet, as he resettled his arched back down, the muscles in his entire body, shuddering from the powerful release. He felt warm and flushed. Sasuke was giving him one last stroke, from the base to tip, as Naruto felt himself shrinking and the tightness go away.
"Kiss me, please."
Sakura sat fully dressed and looked at her nude former team mate as he lay on the sand. He was showing flush from his neck to his groin. His nipples were still erect in the light breeze. Carefully she tied off the condom she had just removed from his penis and sighed at the small volume of fluids it contained. Naruto-kun, you need to give it a rest and build up some volume. Opening a small scroll that she had taken out earlier, she concentrated on the sealing symbols, and stored the specimen in the scroll. A tear formed at one eye, as she looked down at the ground and dropped onto the sand. I didn't have any choice, it is my mission, and any opportunity given I have to take. I was using the river to speed my journey, the soldier pills gave me enough extra energy to 'skate' with my chakra on the water, and there he was! Looking again at the blond body in the sand she saw how beautiful he had become as he had grown older. He was perfect as he lay there in the sun, well proportioned with a wide chest and narrow hips, manly, with the most beautiful skin. And I've seen him without skin at all, too. Remembering the time that Kyuubi had gone to 4 tails and burned off all of the skin from Naruto's body only the whisker marks on his face showed anything odd about him. He really is so beautiful. If he could only keep his mouth shut.
"Kiss me, please…." The sleeping body said.
Sakura stretched out next to Naruto on the warm sand. Lying on her side, she lifted the nearest arm, and wrapped it around her shoulders, and placed her head on Naruto's chest. She could feel and hear his heartbeat the air as it rushed in and out of his lungs. Her free hand, traced across the smooth skin the covered his chest, she could smell the forest about him, the deep woods, as a finger traced the nipple on the far side. A cool breeze passed by, he was so nice and warm.
"Kiss me." Naruto turned into Sakura pulling her tight to him with both arms.
Sakura wouldn't stop the movement as Naruto, eyes closed, leaned in for a kiss, tears fell from her eyes as their lips met, and for once in all her years with him, she didn't want to hit him.
They kissed for a while, and to Sakura it might have been forever. She could think of little but the lips and tongue that she dueled with for pleasure. Naruto's hands were warm on her back and the back of her head. Naruto's body was warm as it was touching and fully focused from breast to groin with hers. Sakura felt a growing heat at her groin, and a growing wetness in her own depth. He's getting erect again! So soon? I wish this was under different circumstances. Is it worthwhile to even try to add to the collection?
Naruto's engorgement wasn't going to leave her much choice, when he took one of his hands and grasped her breast in it, while trying to brush the nipple. The hand stopped at after the first squeeze, and then squeezed gently again. Sakura had opened her eyes, and was greeting by the hint of blue that was appearing from between Naruto's lashes. Suddenly Sakura fell to the ground as Naruto sat up, and with both eyes wide and a expression of shock, stared at her as she lay next to him.
"Sakura! What are you doing here?! Why are you…" The voice trailed off as a little breeze caressed the naked body, and the hot projection extending from his lap. Naruto clamped his hands into his crotch to cover up. "Don't look at me Sakura, it's not fair!" he yelled as the growth shrank under the cover of his hands.
Sakura sat up and brushed sand from her clothes and hair. "Naruto, I'm a medical nin, I have seen lot's of people without their clothes before, it's not a big deal."
"Not true, it's my… my stuff you're looking at. I don't want you to."
"What and you never tried to look at me without clothes on? At the outdoor baths or on a mission?"
"Well, that's what guy's do; they try to sneak a peek. That's NORMAL."
"It's normal for girls to do too, we're just not as obvious as boys when we do."
"It is?" he asked incredulously.
"It is. Besides, if you got struck in the testicles by something on a mission, I would have to closely examine it anyway, and apply a compress or other techniques as needed. So get over yourself."
"So, Sakura, you're saying that you don't mind if I'm -- naked or not?" asked Naruto with a little blush, and a grin.
"Nope, suit yourself," she said standing up, and brushing more sand from her clothes.
"Good enough for me thanks!" Naruto stood up and took his hands away from his crotch. He stood there facing Sakura, and started to brush the granules of sand from his smooth skin, and out of his hair, working his way down his body, soon reaching the crotch he had formerly covered. Now, he brushed his pubes and behind his scrotum, unabashedly in front of her, almost waving his genitals in Sakura's direction.
Sakura still blushed at this sight, and lowered her head, torn between her emotions. She knew what Naruto was doing on several levels. What surprised and really embarrassed her is that she could hardly keep herself from watching closely. Here was someone for whom she had very strong feelings; who knowingly or not had just given her a terrific kiss that she was not going to forget for some time, was beautiful in an almost unearthly way, and standing naked in front of her, casually playing with his sex organs in front of her. Worse, she had just jerked him off into a condom, and her palm still itched to wrap itself around his turgid stiffness again. She was becoming damp again as these thoughts ran through her mind. She decided to stand her ground, and looked up again.
Naruto had turned around and was brushing sand from his lower cheeks, hard and rounded only with a small handful of fat on each. He scratched and lifted one buttock with his fingers as he walked over to the washed and sundried undershorts. Carefully, he bent over at the waist to pick them up, giving Sakura a good view between his legs where everything hung down. Sunlight glinted and made all the very fine blond hairs on his body light up as he moved. Then while standing on one, leg he placed the other into the opening of the shorts and then switched sides and pulled the other leg on. With a little wiggle he pulled up the shorts to where the waistband was just under his cheeks and paused, before he pulled it over them, hiding his globes from his view.
Sakura watched the whole show, with its alternating views of his manly cheeks and the large treasure that peeked from beneath them. She could smell blood with every breath, and knew it was hers, and felt her face flush at the view as Naruto continued to slowly dress in front of her.
Talking to Naruto's back as he made exaggerated motions of zipping his pants up, Sakura said; "Green Leaf is near this river isn't it, Naruto?"
"Yeah, it is, so?" Said Naruto as he turned around with his jacket again tied around his waist, his shirt tight across his chest.
"I used a solder pill to build up my chakra so that I could skate on the water to catch up with you and the others. I bet that you don't need a pill to do that, and we both could pick up some lost time doing this. I'll race you to the inn, Naruto." Sakura opened her hip bag and took out the foil packet with the pills and popped another out into the open, and then into her mouth. Grabbing her pack she hoisted it up, as she strode to the water's edge.
"Coming?" she said as she stepped onto the water's surface. Leaning a bit forward, she pushed flatfooted to the side and back, causing the water to move behind her as she glided with the other foot, a few steps and she was in the middle of the river. Giving Naruto one last glance as he stool on the bank scratching the back of his head with his elbow raised high, she turned and started moving downstream as she alternated between the alternating push and glide movements, the blue chakra highlighting her feet.
"Damn, that's cool looking (dattebayo)." Naruto lifted his pack onto his back and let it settle in, before he too stood on the water's surface. At first he lifted his heel too far up as he pushed and found it was hard to keep his toes from the water, but soon after a bit of flailing he began to move in the same manner that he had seen Sakura. Reaching the middle of the river, he saw that Sakura was standing several hundred yards ahead with her hands on her hips. He waived to her, his hand over his head, the fingers all spread out. She waived back, as he put his mind into it, and began to skate down river to her, picking up speed with each step as he became more confident. Sakura seeing him coming started to move forward again, and found that in no time, Naruto had caught up and had passed her. The solder pill having kicked in, she executed her own strokes at a faster pace, each glide rewarded with more yardage as her momentum increased.. Soon the two were skating side by side, down the river. The sun shining at their backs as the river banks sped past smiles on both of their faces. They reached the village in record time. Laughing at the exhilaration, they decided that it was a tie, and two team mates walked with a lighten heart to the inn where they would join up with Shikimaru and Sai.
Back at the Inn
Taru-kun carried the tea service back to the meeting room that the two shinobi were occupying. He had selected green leaf tea from one of the best slightly fermented teas they had in stock. It was said that the aroma of the tea was like being in the mountains themselves. The pot had been filled with hot water to heat it up. He had an extra kettle of hot water and a bowl to pour waste water into. There were two small plates of mochi. A small box was filled with the tea, and he had selected beautifully glazed and fired cups to go with the small tea pot decorated with delicate flowers. Skillfully, he again dodged the kitchen workers as he carried the setup back to the room. His erection had subsided, but as he stepped up into the hallway, he found that one of his testicles had come free from the fundoshi, he dared not adjust himself less he end up walking into the room with an erection again. Maybe I can give Sai-san a bit of a peek to see if he's interested. Taru-kun suppressed a giggle has he stopped to slide the shoji screen aside and came into the room, the two young men had both their backs to him as he entered with Sai, being the first to run around to watch him walk and kneel down beside the table. He chose to sit a bit further back then he would normally. His thighs were not covered by the table, and his garment opened at the knees as he spread his thighs wider then he would normally, so that they would be exposed between the opening of the garment. "I've brought your tea and some snacks. Shall I pour for you?"
Shikamaru heard the the shoji screen open and the youth returning. His cigarette was nearing the end, and he was about to flick the final bit of ash into the small pocket ashtray he carried. Turing around, he could see on the table the tray the boy had placed there. The boy's yukata was gaping a bit, exposing his smooth thighs. Watching him as he lifted his butt from the floor it seems as if he spread his knees even wider, opening more of the garment and the view of the body underneat. It was sort of clumsy and not elegant looking kneeling that way. Yet, the way the youth held the tea pot and emptied the waste water into the container and placed the tea and fresh hot water into it showed that he had a high level of grace that was seldom displayed by someone his age. Stubbing out his smoke, Shikimaru closed the ash tray and pocketed it, as he walked over to the table. A glance at Sai, showed that he had turned around where he was seated, and was smiling at Taru's actions. Shikimaru noticed one of Sai's hands move towards his crotch, and with his forefinger extended, move down along the material. Shikimaru walked up to the table and in a fluid motion sat down, crossing his ankles as he now sat opposite the youth. Taru's legs seemed to be even further apart, as if he was sliding on his knees as he poured, the jacket was open from knee to waist, and his fundoshi visible. Shikimaru started a uncontrolled coughing fit as he noticed that there was a fleshy lump the size of a kiwi hanging out one side of the traditionally wrapped cloth.
Sai put down his drawing at the sound of the shoji screen. Taru-kun had been cute and had been staring at him earlier. I wonder if he's still going to stare at me. Turing around in his spot, he watched as the youth came towards the table, his legs standing wider than when Sai had followed him into the room. Watching as the spread knees moved to the floor showed the reason why, with the light of the open window behind him, the interior of the room was fully illuminated. The spread legs showed that the youth was wearing fundoshi and that one of his jewels had slipped out, and his scrotum was divided by the cloth. It looked uncomfortable, but so cute at the same time. Sai's eyes drifted to Taru's face as he knelt on the other side of the table after the tray was placed down. Taru and he were locked looking at each other for a second before the youth cast his eyes downward, and Sai noticed that he spread his legs further apart as he did. Taru raised his body to reach the tea service and still his legs seemed to move further apart, and now his jacket opened to the waist and left his jewel hanging lewdly between the open edges of the coat.
Ah, he wanted me to see! Watching Taru, Sai took his forefinger and traced along his own crotch causing the fabric to outline his own dick as it rubbed from its base to tip. Sai's low cut pants precluded wearing any undergarments. Taru licked his lower lip as he saw Sai do this, causing Sai to smile. When Sai opened his eyes and looked again, Shikimaru was blocking the view having sat down, and was now coughing loudly into his hand. Sai took the opportunity to move quickly to the table next to Taru-kun and started patting Shikimaru on the back in a resigned motion to 'stop' his coughing.
"It's a beautiful view, isn't it Nara-kun?" said Sai, as Shikimaru tried to regain his composure.
"Yes, the mountain is magnificent. The view -- is unforgettable."
"I found even the rounded stones exciting too; I would like to feel one or two in my hand, warmed by the sun." Sai looked at Taru-kun's face as he spoke, and his heart lightened as the servant blushed and shivered, but kept pouring the tea into the glazed cups...
"This is the first taste of this fine tea," said Taru as he poured a bit of very faintly colored water into the cups. "They say its fragrance will make you think of mountain tops." He placed the pot down and then moved first one and then the other cup to the two guests.
Sai and Shikimaru lifted their cups and the small amount of hot water each contained. They held one hand under the cup and the other halfway up so that their fingers extended over the lip to concentrate any aroma coming from the tea as they brought it to their nose. Even though the tea had been in contact with the water only briefly, the fragrance was strong and smelled a bit green, with purity reminiscent of air after a lighting storm in summer with a faint touch of flint. They sipped the hot water, and the light flavor ran over their lips and tongues and cleansed them.
Standing he moved between the two guests, bringing the pot with him. "This is the second taste. Please enjoy." Taru replenished the tea with the more strongly brewed liquid in the little flowered pot. He poured carefully into each cup, first handing Shikimaru back his, and then to Sai, holding the cup a bit longer in his hand before releasing it into Sai's as they grasped around his own. He blushed again, and ducked his head as Sai's fingers passed around his before taking the cup away.
Taku again, stood on his knees as he carefully reached across the table to retrieve the tray with the hot water and the mochi plates. He was bent a bit over the table as he felt Sai's warm hand run from the back of his knee and up the back of his bare thigh as he sat back down, leaving Sai's hand on his small firm rump. He shivered with delight at the touch. Carefully and gracefully, he placed one plate of mochi in front of Shikimaru and the other in front of the smiling Sai, whose fingers were now hunting under the fundoshi as it ran down between his cheeks. Again, the fundoshi tightened as much from Sai's hand as the growing erection he was sprouting.
Shikimaru, sipped his tea, looking at the doorway, but aware of the rising body heat from the servant boy sitting next to him. "Taru-kun, you're very graceful and well spoken for someone just working in the inn. I don't remember you from my prior visits, how long have you been working here?"
Taku was flushed, Sai was holding his butt in one hand, kneading the cheek with his fingers, the garment was all askew and the front of his fundoshi was fully exposed, and tented with his erection, biting his lip, he answered, "Thank you for your kind words. I've only been here six months or so, this my first job in the outside world. I'm very happy to have found such a place like this one."
"Outside world? Were you brought up in a monastery?"
"Hai. I was since a very small age. I turned 16 and the monks gave me a choice to become one of them or leave. I left."
"What were your duties while you lived in the monastery?"
"The monks taught me scriptures, chants, classical poetry for recitals, dance, tea ceremony and how to be of service to guests if needed, which is why I took a job at the inn."
"Ah," replied Shikimaru. "You also ministered to the monk's needs too, right?"
"Hai," was the quiet reply.
"So, you were a chigo?" Shikimaru turned his head to look at the young man, now trying to close his jacket over the tent in his fundoshi's flap, and the blush on his face. Covering up was not succeeding due to the extra limb that was still grasping his nether cheek and how the jacket was pulled as a result. "This is going to be troublesome."
"Not so, Nara-kun," said Sai, as he hand come out around the smooth cheek and into the inner thigh were it brushed against the exposed nut, and grasped. "It might just be what you wanted, no?" Sai squeezed gently getting a gasp from the teen. "The pebbles are nice and warm, now."
"I can come by after dinner and give you a full body massage, I am quite expert in all techniques, my techniques will relieve you of any constrictions and open all of your body's windows." The former chigo gasped again at another squeeze from Sai. "No charge, it will be my pleasure to service- uh, serve you. Uhmm, both of you…."
"Naruto is going to be here later…perhaps once we have our rooms, you can come by the bath first, and give us a little service and massage there?" asked Shikimaru as he watched the youth again bite his lip as he arched his back and pushed his crotch into Sai's hand as Sai rolled the orb in it's skin.
"Hai, hai. In the baths," huffed the teen. "I think you will find even then, that you will wish me to visit later, too. Aiieeee!" The youth bent over the table, as Sai pulled on his sack and released the other nut from the cloth and rolled both together as they seemed to shrink out of the hot hand between the smooth thighs. Taru shot into the fundoshi. Between gasps, he said, "I'll be happy to serve you. Let me go, so I can check on your rooms, please."
Sai let his hand wander under the fendoshi, and move up and around the spent organ and its wet slickness, causing another gasp from the organ's owner. Carefully removing his hand he looked at the slimed fingers and carefully held them over his tea cup. A single drop fell into the cup. Sai smiled as he turned to his two companions, lifting the cup to his lips, and drank. "I think it needed a bit of sweetness."
Taru blushed and quickly stood up and hurried to the door, straightening his yukata as he went. He turned and bowed to the two at the table, and quietly left the room as fast as possible with a small smile in anticipation of the events he planned for later...
Shikimaru watched the former chigo leave the room, and turned to look at Sai, "Sweetness? Where did you…"
"I read it in a book, Nara-kun. Why not have Taru visit in the room where it's more private?"
"A book, well, maybe you can lend it to me. I don't think I want him in the room, where's supposed to rest and plan for our mission, having him, um, visit might interfere with that. After all, if he was a temple chigo, he's been trained to please and gratify men since he was a young child, even if the monks don't view it as pederasty. He probably is very good at giving pleasure, and you have just demonstrated that he's also highly receptive and sensitive. He's going to be very troublesome no matter what depth of talent he possesses."
"Nara-kun, I sure you mean 'his depth at either end,' no? He would have a considerable length to go with you, I see." Sai chuckled and smiled at Shikimaru, who following Sai's head nod, now glanced into his loose pants and the considerable and obvious tent in his lap.
"Sai, stop it. I knew having you on this mission is going to be too troublesome. Taru's going to be troublesome, and if Naruto and who ever is coming to share his room ever get here; they're going to be troublesome too." Shikimaru, lifted himself off the floor, his erection more evident as the loose pants fell about him. "I need another smoke." He walked back into the view from the porch and took out his pack and shook a cigarette into his mouth. He lit up and started to smoke again, looking at the mountain.
Sai reached into the small plate of mochi in front of him, picking one up gently, he popped it into his mouth. It was delicious, as the soft starchy gummy cake almost melted in his mouth. He was careful to make sure that he didn't swallow any large pieces. The stories about people choking to death on them were legendary. When the gummy starch finally dissolved to nothing, he said, "Naru-kun, the mochi are the best! About the same softness as Taru's testicles!"
Shikimaru was inhaling smoke as he heard Sai's commentary, the sudden intake of air, caused him to start violently coughing again.
Sai chuckled at his companion's discomfort. He opened the tea pot and added some more hot water from the kettle. "Come over here, and have some more tea. It may be a while before we get to our rooms and the baths."
It was.
Shikimaru and Sai were finally shown to a small three tatami mat room. It had not a private bath and but it still had a decent view of the mountain from a different angle, but not as well framed. They stowed their gear, and changed into the blue yukatas that the inn had placed in the room for their use. Shikimaru had his boxers underneath, and Sai was still going commando. Taru was nowhere to be seen. Walking the hallway to the other wing, they found the inn's owner leading Naruto and Sakura.
"Hey, Naruto! Sakura-chan!" chirped Sai from behind Shikimaru. "So you're the ones staying in the other room!"
Shikimaru's face had darkened a bit as he spied the Sakura and Naruto. So it's not Sasuke! Why'd Shizune order these two to share a room? It doesn't make sense; Naruto should be staying with us!
"Sai, and Shikimaru-chan! It's good to see both you again," said Sakura. "Other room? What other room? I thought we were all staying together!"
"Orders from the Hokage's Office. They cancelled my reservations and ordered two rooms. One room for me and Sai. One room for you and Naruto. Though I thought that it was Sasuke who wanted to keep Naruto to himself, not you. You can't monopolize his time, we have to go over the mission plans. Were you ordered to become part of my team, too?"
Sakura bristled at the commentary. "No. I haven't been ordered to join your mission, but I can't discuss what my mission is, but you guys will have to stay here until I complete my tasks, which may take a couple days. You can have Naruto for planning sessions, the rest of the time, he'll have to be with me, that IS part of my orders, it seems that I misunderstood just how much time they want me to spend with him; having two rooms explains it to me." Sakura, slipped her hand into her equipment kit, and broke a very small capsule she had prepared between her fingers.
"But I must say, you're looking quite cute, in these yukata," she said. Taking the hand she slowly brought it up to Shikimaru's ear, rubbing the cartilage between her fingers. "So cute! But let me straighten out this collar for you." She rubbed the edge of the garment between her fingers, making sure that the entire potion was wiped off as she did.
"Enjoy your bath, I'll see you later," she purred. "Come along Naruto, let's put our gear away, and get something to eat. Those soldier pills gave me an appetite, and I'm sure you have one too."
Naruto was about to say something when he heard that he was going to share a room with Sakura. He closed his mouth without uttering anything. Before he knew it there was Sakura close to Shikimaru and rubbing his ear and fixing the way the yukata sat on his chest. Something about it was very erotic, and he could feel his penis stiffening in his pants. Without thinking anything more he saw Sakura starting to move on to where the ryokan's owner was standing further down the hall, he lowered his eyes and found himself looking at her butt as it swayed slightly as they walked down the hallway, he blushed.
Shikimaru sputtered at the touch of the hand at his ear, and the soft voice purring near his chest as she rubbed, gave him an erection like he'd never had before with its velocity and stiffness. "See you…later, perhaps," he said to the parting couple. Sakura, I would have never guessed, and Naruto following her around like that, sharing a room with him is her assignment? This is going to be nothing but trouble for me. Gahh…I hope this goes down before we get to the bath. He felt Sai walk closely behind him, placing both hands on his shoulders, Sai's lips come close.
"Nara-kun, you have best hope that Taru-kun is waiting for us in the bath. There's something in the air here that I'm finding a bit exciting," whispered Sai into his ear. Shikimaru felt a hand leve his shoulder, and grasped the protrusion beneath the traditional robe. "I see that you're very excited, about meeting Taru-kun too." Sai brought his groin to Shikimaru's rear, and let his heat settle between his team leader's cheeks.
"Troublesome, this is very troublesome," Shikimaru said as he broke the hold and hurried on, with Sai following closely.
AN: well that's it for now, hope you liked it. Sorry if there's no Sasuke... Oh, two asides. 'H2O-foot prints in the Sand' just finished, it's so sad isn't it? But I'm a bit confused if it ended up being a real harem for Hitose or not. Now, I'm waiting for the final episodes of True Tears.
(Hey stop reading if you don't like Naruto manga spoilers!) And if you read Naruto manga, ch 394, I think I know why Itachi was so weak and internally bleeding all these episodes and Toby unharmed by anyone's jitsu or attacks. I think that he can transfer the damage from the attack to other manganko sharrigan users, this would seem to jive with all the attacks that Toby's survived without apparently doing anything and the growing weakness and coughing up blood that Itachi seems to have been experiencing even when he wasn't fighting, so indirectly Sasuke was aided by Naruto's rassengan attacks on Toby while fighting Itachi. Also, it's nice to see Shino make a appearance to actually battle, it's been a while since we saw someone other than the major characters have the spotlight beyond backdrop dressing. Now the question is can they defeat Toby who's now lost his defensive talent or if Toby can transfer part of the attacks to Kakashi. A few more episodes will see if I'm correct!
