The Wolf and the Fox

Chapter 18 – Truth Revealed, Training Begins

Menma looked around cautiously as he gauged the reaction of his peers, his eyes stopping their motion as they settled on the two girls across from him. Understandably all of the other eight rookies wore looks of complete shock, after all it wasn't everyday a historic event you had been taught was revealed to be a lie. Nor was it every day you learned that a friend of yours was specifically attached to the lie, the false fact having protected the sensitive information of the boy having a feared chakra construct sealed within him.

"So, those stray glares and the way people ignore you," Sasuke questioned, a look of acceptance on his face as Menma nodded. The raven haired boy released a grunt, "I'm not sure if I speak for everyone here, but so what?"

"What?" Menma asked, his eyes widening slightly at the dismissal of his secret.

"You're not some fifty story fox, you're Menma, why would you having some fox sealed in you change that," The youngest heir of the Uchiha stated.

"Sasuke is right, as troublesome as it is to admit," Shikamaru said, his bored expression once more over taking his features. "A sealing scroll with a kunai sealed inside doesn't make the scroll a weapon, and the same applies to you and the fox."

Eight heads nodded in agreement, "Even you Sakura, you don't want to blame me for your dad not being here?" His question made her flinch slightly, and he instantly regretted even asking when the sad expression over took her. But, he had to be sure.

"I couldn't ever blame something like that on you," she shook her head, smiling weakly with the thought of her father fresh in her mind. "Is that where that strange chakra cloak comes from?"

The Crimson haired boy nodded, "Kyuubi's chakra reacts to my emotions, namely my anger."

"Then, just promise me you'll be careful not to go too far if it does start to react, I don't want you to get hurt," she admitted her worry over his well-being, some not knowing she had grown closer to him rather surprised by the admission of worry. As if they had missed her cheering him on quite loudly during his match against Kiba.

"Nii-chan is supposed to be training me on how to better control it soon, so hopefully it won't be much of a problem," he admitted, thinking back to his conversation with the blonde. It was still tough to accept his brother had gone so far just to help him down his path in life.

Sasuke, at the thought of his rival getting stronger, immediately stood and began to walk towards the exit, "Then if you're going to be training harder I'll just have to match you and work even harder," he said over his shoulder, Kiba and Shino standing to presumably do the same.

"I've already lost to you once, I can't accept losing to you again," the Inuzuka smirked, Menma half wanting to mention all the wins from the academy he still had over the boy.

"I agree, why? Because I hope to face you in the finals and see your true strength Menma-san," the Aburame said in his odd choice of dialect.

"Well, I guess that pretty much decides it then, Menma-kun," Ino smiled, earning a small thankful smile from the crimson haired boy. He had never been more thankful for the rag tag group of friends he called his.

"As much as I'd love to sit around, it'd be troublesome if Asuma-sensei decided to start hunting us down for the team meeting," Shika sighed, one day he'd finally be allowed to just laze about to his heart's content.

"We should probably catch up to Sasuke ourselves, Menma-kun," Sakura suggested, earning a nod from the Uzumaki-Namikaze.

Team ten watched as the two got up and left, Ino managing to smile even as she watched Sakura walk so close to their mutual crush. "I'm honestly surprised you're not chasing after them and starting an argument with Sakura," Shikamaru droned, far from oblivious about his teammates feelings for one of his best friends.

"Not this time, I'll let forehead enjoy some time with him," She smiled slightly at him before standing and swatting the back of his head. "Now, let's get a move on you two Asuma-sensei wouldn't be happy if we were late!"

"Troublesome damn blonde," Shikamaru grumbled, Chouji only chuckling at the grumblings of his best friend as he rubbed his head where Ino smacked him too.

"You three seem rather happy, rightfully so considering all three of you have actually made it to the finals," noted Kakashi as he strolled into the training grounds, blissfully nose deep in his favorite book.

"Kakashi-sensei beat Naruto-sensei here today?" Sakura questioned, making the scarecrow shinobi actually look up in surprise.

"I did?"

"Mei-nee-chan," Menma simply noted, rolling his eyes at Kakashi's perverted giggle that followed his statement. Sakura blushed at the thought of what the esteemed Mizukage could be doing to delay their blonde sensei, while Sasuke only muttered about perverted hypocrites.

Not even a moment later, all three students jumped in shock and pain as Naruto appeared on Menma's Hiraishin mark and whacked all three of their heads in one motion. "Don't compare me to Kaka-baka, I'm not a pervert or hypocrite, and keep your nose out of mine and Mizu-hime's business," he rattled off, Kakashi waving innocently at him at the sound of his affectionate nickname.

The blonde only deadpanned at the flippant shinobi, knowing he was purposefully trying to mess with him, "Baka."

"Yes, yes, now I believe you mentioned about having worked out a training regime for each of our cute little gennin?" Naruto rose a brow at the man, wondering if him using that nickname specifically for their team was in homage to his mother or sensei, maybe even his father? The three Gennin however quirked their eyebrows, perfectly mirroring their blonde sensei, at the laziness of their senior teacher to allow the blonde to devise and handle everything. The silver haired Jounin was essentially just a figure head in the hierarchy that made up their team dynamic, only Naruto knew how right they were or why.

"Anyway," Naruto muttered, casting a short glare at his surrogate older brother before taking a stance before the three Gennin. "As I'm sure you all know all three of you have passed the preliminaries and will be having your own matches to prepare for in the coming month," they all nodded obediently, looks of pride adorning their faces. "Well, as we want each of you to have all the training you require and will need, your training will be separated and overlooked by different people," he explained, earning accepting nods from all of them. "Sasuke, since Itachi returned earlier this morning you will be training the entire month with him," the raven haired boy nodded as the blonde dismissed him. "Sakura, you'll train the first week with Kakashi to work on your genjutsu ability and the following three weeks with baa-chan," Naruto was actually incapable of referring to Tsunade in any other way, no matter who he was speaking to or the format. Regardless, Sakura nodded in acceptance, feeling a sense of dread wash over her at the eye smile given to her by their cyclops of a sensei. "Menma, you'll be starting your training with Ero-Jiji for the first ten days, and then your tortur- I mean, training will be handed over to me for the rest of the month," the red haired boy blanched at the slip in his brother's wording, it only worsening when he gave him just an all to sweet smile.

"Oh, and for the first part of your training, you have to find him; I advise you start at the hot springs and be sure to limber up incase he's caught and you two must run," He explained, earning a deep groan from his otouto. "Anyway, if you'll excuse me I have a council meeting to attend," he smiled brightly before vanishing in a flurry of sparks, the sign of him using Shunshin instead of Hiraishin.

"Well, you heard him Menma-kun, I need to get started with Sakura's training before I have to deal with an irate Naruto or even worse, Tsunade," He paled slightly at the thought of receiving a beating like the ones Jiraiya got.

"Hai, hai," Menma rolled his eyes before waving to Sakura as he shunshined away.

"So, what are we working first, Kakashi-sensei?" She questioned, startled to see him actually shut his book and put it away as she voiced the simple question.

"As I only have a week to train you, I'm going to train you into the dirt every single day for the next seven days. We'll start with pure taijutsu in the morning, no using your chakra enhanced punches, I'll be critiquing your form; not trying to have my arms broken from blocking a strike. After lunch, we'll jump right into two hours of Genjutsu practice and right after that we'll work on expanding your chakra reserves," He eye smiled, and that sense of dread from before seemed to grasp her once more. "So, not only will I be teaching you Genjutsu techniques, but we'll be working on the Doton Naruto and I have taught you already and you'll be learning a few more if we have the time. So, I expect you to work your ass off."

Sakura was mentally wishing for Kakashi to reveal it was all a prank, take his book out and just supervise her training like he usually did. Sadly, for our pink haired kunoichi, not only was his book collection once more threatened. But, they had even gone so far as to threaten tying him up and leaving him in an abandoned warehouse that only Anko had the keys to. Yes, he cared deeply for the snake mistress, but everything had a line, and Anko having full control over him was a no go.

Sparks of electricity bounced off the walls of the hallway just outside of the council chambers as Naruto appeared, rather happy he had chosen a more relaxed attire with how long he was sure he'd have to be sitting in this meeting. Walking in, he reached over his shoulder and sealed his mother's katana within his array, noting that for once he wasn't the first to arrive.

"Naruto-kun, it's nice to see you, though I must admit I do wish I had gotten the chance to see you last night," the seductive woman that could only be his sensei smiled, that seductive smile of hers as she playfully winked at him. She wasn't wearing the usual black kimono or Anbu gear that she often would to these events, instead wearing a long sleeved black dress that went down to her mid-thighs with a low cut V-neck to show of an ample amount of cleavage. The Uchiha crest undoubtedly emblazoned proudly on her back, and he knew it wouldn't be her if she wasn't folding her arms underneath her bosom to push them up and make them look even more ample than they already were. The simple outfit only complimented by the thigh high black kunoichi boots she wore, showing of the smallest sliver of those perfectly built thighs of hers.

She smiled as he walked towards her and leaned against the side of the half circle table they both sat on, scandalously close if not for their known history as student and teacher. "Don't worry sensei, Mizu-hime was sure to tell me of your request for tonight, rather bold of you to speak directly to her about it now," he said in a teasing manner.

"What's to say that is the only thing we talked about, my cute little gennin," Her tone was even more teasing than his own, and her smirk was downright predatorily sexy.

"If you two had talked about anything else, I'm sure my first night home in a week would've been far more interesting than it already was," He countered back, never having been one to back down from her.

Mikoto giggled like a schoolgirl, "Oh, always such a naughty boy, Naruto-kun," she purred after taking a moment to control her giggles. However, as he met her gaze to retort his breathing hitched and his mind blanked when his mismatched orbs met the unique design of her Mangekyo. A moment later, his face had been painted crimson and blood trails were slowly falling from each nostril. "Just a little tease to be sure you don't forget what's waiting for you tonight," she once more purred, and Naruto's mind raced as he thought of things to stop his blood from flowing south.

"That was underhanded, Sensei, the use of that old honorific and to add Kurohime….it was completely diabolical," he pouted, unable to force the blush away as he processed the seventy-two hours of erotic bliss she had subjected him to. He didn't even know Tsukuyomi could be used in such a way, but leave it to a minx like his sensei to pervert such a lethal technique into that. Though, as an image of what she had showed him passed through his mind, he wondered if he should call her a minx or just a flat out cougar.

"Don't worry Naruto-kun, if you're as lucky as you have always been, maybe it won't just be an illusion someday," she emphasized her tease, by reaching out and beginning to rub his slightly bulging crotch. Despite all his effort, the seventy-two hours permitted by her technique of pure pleasure mixed with her flirty mood, was just too much for her perverted former student to resist; and, Kami did she know it.

His eyes widened only for a moment as she roughly grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him into a trade of saliva as she continued to rub his clothed and growing member. Unable and unwilling to fight it, knowing they at least had long enough for this until someone showed, the blonde relished in the moment. Going to the point of turning the tables on her, as he always loved to do, and pushed her back against the table, his hand moving to her thighs to pick her up enough to rest her on the table. She purred into their kiss as she felt him take control, felt his desire for her against her small hand and his hands squeeze a cheek of her shapely rear in each palm. She released a moan as she felt him bite her lip before assaulting her tongue with his own once more. Taking a few more moments to enjoy it, just as she felt his hand beginning to lift her dress further than it had already ridden up, she pushed him back.

The teasing smile she wore at his shocked look only magnified when he lightly pouted, she had most definitely blue balled her student this time. "Just a little fun before the meeting Naruto-kun, and maybe some insurance that you'll be sure to be early tonight?" The gaze she shot him, her Mangekyo still active was alluringly entrancing if he had to be completely honest, the reason why he could only nod unintelligibly.

However, both nearly jumped when the door opened to reveal the Sandaime, who seemed to have forgone the ceremonial hat today. It allowed them to see his wizened brow raise as he took a moment to regard them both, noticing how Mikoto was straightening her scantily short dress and his brash adoptive grandson flinched ever so slightly as their eyes met. "I can leave if I'm interrupting something," he offered, forcing both to blush as they futilely tried to deny that anything was being interrupted. "Hm, then I must have just missed the show," he smirked as the two felt their blushes deepen, the esteemed Kage effortlessly walking past them and towards his desk to prepare for the meeting. "Oh, and please don't let me catch you two doing anything scandalous beneath the table during our meeting, I would hate to be forced to separate you," he cheekily barbed, for once making Naruto give up as the blonde just took his seat.

"Kodai-Saru," he had muttered, but unlike last time he had used the diminutive name, Hiruzen only released a belly laugh. It was so nice to get one over on the blonde pain in the ass every once in a while. Mikoto could only sigh at having been caught, feeling embarrassment for the first time in years, not that she wouldn't do it again of course.

Itachi released a pleased sigh, placing his warm tea back on the sitting table before him, his slightly faded charcoal eyes looking towards a box of poke hungrily. "Can you please stop starring at my treats like that," Katsumi glared at him, snatching the pink colored box and clutching them to her chest. Itachi glared at his newfound relative, he may be a pacifist, but wars have started for less than not sharing your poke with him. "Don't give me that look you pain in the ass, I bought you a box too and it's not my fault you ate them all," she glared right back, snatching one of the savory treats from the box and snapping into it with a firm bite, just to mock him.

"You are trying my patience, woman," his glare intensified as his Mangekyo activated.

Katsumi's own glare intensified as her Eternal Mangekyo activated, "You should be careful with frivolous use of those eyes, unless you'd like to live with blindness," she warned, the man scoffing in her general direction.

"Blindness won't matter as long as I have poke," he stubbornly stated, only for the woman to roll her eyes. A cruel smirk came to her face however as the space around the box began to warp, and then suddenly they were gone, Itachi's eyes widening at the use of her Mangekyo ability. "That's cheating!"

"How, and why would I let you steal my poke?"

"Because, I'll kick you out otherwise," he said firmly, sounding like some crazed tyrant or maybe, a toddler who wasn't getting his way. One of the two.

"Fine by me, sounds like a good enough excuse to move-in with Okami-kun," Itachi only glared as his threat fell through, damn women and damn blonde best friend with womanizing ways.

"Is this really what you two do all day," Sasuke asked, raising a brow after having watched all of that transpire.

"Hush, otouto, you must go to the store and get me poke before I agree to take you on this month long training trip," he then blinked a few times when Sasuke deadpanned at him. "Oh, you should probably pack for that as well." Sasuke face palmed, was this really the fearsome Sharingan no Itachi, his poke obsessed brother?

After thinking of his blonde sensei for a moment, he just shook his head in disappointment. It wasn't just his brother; it was his entire generation infected with crazy. Begrudgingly, he marched out of the house and towards the nearest street vendor, they had strategically stocked up poke after realizing Itachi's addiction, and bought his brother more than enough.

It really was going to be a tiresome month for him.

Menma groaned as he spotted his grandfather, sitting in a tree giggling like a pervert as he conducted his so-called research. Gaining a mischievous look in his violet eyes, the crimson haired boy discreetly summoned a clone and told it his plan. The clone grinned foxily after hearing the original's idea, a moment later it used the jutsu he had devised to defeat all perverts in the world, becoming a tall buxom red haired woman only covered in a towel. The beauty had her hair pulled into long, twin pig tails…. well, essentially aside from that she was just an older and lewd female version of Menma.

The henged copy only took a moment to walk into the hot spring his grandfather was currently peeking into, but that was all the time needed. Menma nearly broke into a fit of laughter as he heard his clone's shriek and cry of pervert, pointing directly at Jiraiya's hiding spot. The shouts of feminine fury that filled his ears a moment later was like the melodious singing of Kami herself, the shriek of his discovered grandfather only fuel on the flame that was his prankster way.

But, he was ripped from his pleasure as when the man started to run, he ran right by him grabbing him and taking him along. "Oi, let me go, this is your beating!"

"No can do brat, if you're going to snitch you're going to learn that snitches get stitches!"

"There, now can we go?" Sasuke exasperatedly asked, tossing the large paper bag of poke at his elder brother's head. The man, still glaring at Katsumi for not sharing like when he had left, deftly caught the bag and cradled it into his arms.

"Very well, your payment is acceptable, otouto," his monotone droned, immediately popping a box open and biting into the treat, like some sort of junkie finding his latest fix.

"I seriously have no clue what is wrong with you, but I blame Aniki," the younger brother face palmed once more, thinking of the blonde haired trouble maker.

However, the jibe earned him a glare from Katsumi, "him being a weirdo is not Okami-kun's fault, apologize, immediately," she ordered, mangekyo dangerously spinning to life.

"What is wrong with you people?"

Itachi however, looked at her questioningly, "Katsumi-san, I think you would be the perfect candidate to assist me in Otouto's training," the raven haired woman turned her eyes to him questioningly. "Well, as he'll be battling a taijutsu specialist like a Hyuuga, I believe one of the first things to drill into him would be dodging with little to no warning," when saying the verbal phrasing for "dodge," he actually threw a poke stick at Sasuke as if were a kunai. The small treat even actually sticking into the wall just behind Sasuke's head, having grazed his left bang enough to move it.

"Are you both just drunk or are you stupid?"

Katsumi smiled sweetly at the offer, Sasuke once more going ignored, "That sounds like a lovely idea, and I suppose as long as I get to beat up one of you dumbasses I'm happy."

"Hello?"

"So vulgar," Itachi frowned, Sasuke throwing up his arms in exasperation as he was once more ignored. "Though, I suppose Naruto-baka does appreciate colorful women," he said thoughtfully, earning a glare from Katsumi. "Regardless, we should make haste, there is much to do," and with that, and only his bag of poke, the next in line to run the Uchiha clan exited the house.

Katsumi rolled her eyes before following after him, having picked her katana up from where it rested and stuck it into the obi of her battle kimono.

"What is happening?!"

Sakura panted after she once more flipped away from a moderately dangerous Doton jutsu for a Jounin to be throwing at Gennin. The pinkette had taken him seriously when he had warned her that he wouldn't be holding his punches so to speak, and that once more she needed to come at him with the intent to kill using what jutsu she already knew. But, she nearly was to the point that she wanted to find Naruto and beg him to take his threats to Kakashi back. However, while she thought she could possibly convince him with enough groveling, there was no hope of convincing Tsunade. So, her only prayers for being able to walk by the end of this week were dashed effectively, she just hoped she could make it to Tsunade to heal her.

Her eyes widened as she narrowly dodged an earthen spike aimed just perfectly so that she could have the chance to move, not that she knew that. All the pinkette knew was that she wanted to wipe that arrogant eye-smile from her bastard sensei's face!

It had been several hours since the two were forced to flee from the hot springs, the legendary Sannin now working with his youngest grandson and two smaller toads. Rather, he was sitting and observing as Menma tried to convince the sons of Bunta to work with him, a sort of bargain many toads were known to make for their services; though, he didn't remember any ever asking for candy as their requirement of help. However, not every toad could be like Gamaken, only asking you forgive his nonexistent clumsiness or Bunta, who simply wanted to share a drink or be given sake as payment. Not like Jiraiya had to really worry about that thanks to his status, but someone like Menma would have to learn it. At the very least until he could take the reins of the aspect of his career Naruto could not, already being the Sennin of the Okami tribe as he was.

Menma, despite having not had any candy, had quickly promised to summon them later on and pay his debt. Gamakichi, Bunta's eldest, having already taken a shining to the crimson haired Uzumaki agreed with little fuss. Now, it just left Jiraiya to summon his own toad and explain to the gathered three, Gamatatsu the younger son of Bunta having followed his brother's lead, on how to preform cooperation techniques. Knowing his deadline had been changed thanks to Naruto's planning, the Sannin wasted no time in doing just that and getting the training started.

Mikoto looked up into the starry night sky, once more sitting on the back porch of her family home, this time however home alone as even Katsumi seemed to tag along for Sasuke's training. At the very least for the time being. She released a pleasured sigh after swallowing the aged sake she had decided to treat herself to for the night. Her mind however, was finding its way back to what she and Naruto had been doing in the council chambers earlier in the morning. The way his tongue battled hers for dominance over their lip lock, the way his hands grasped her thighs and firm rear, and the breadth of a hair his hand had been from rubbing her lower lips before Hiruzen had caught them. A giggle escaped her lips as she thought of him and that surprised look on his face when the Hokage had not only walked in on them, but even cracked jokes about it. Though, it turned to a mere smile as she remembered how horrible her own blush had been, she even felt her ears burn in embarrassment at the time. She couldn't remember a time she had felt so free however, so alive and prepared for something new in her life. The matriarch of the Uchiha certainly never would've imagined it to be her former student to give her such feelings either, especially not given the honorific he had used for her in his early life. It was odd, and there was still the occasional pang of guilt as the thought of Kushina passed her, but Tsunade's words four days prior seemed to calm her.

Looking down to the velvety short black night gown she wore, doing little to hide her lace black panties and bare smooth thighs, she did find herself agreeing with her old teacher. She was a catch, far better than her ex-husband had ever deserved, and if she thought long and hard about it she knew she had earned a new chance at happiness. If not for having to deal with her husband, or even correcting his mistakes, for the fact of how much she had lost because of his ambitions. If it hadn't been for him, she wouldn't have had to raise their youngest nearly entirely alone, or help their eldest through the PTSD his father had given him by making him see what war was at such an early age. Honestly, if it hadn't been for Naruto, her family could've been much worse off than they were. He had always looked out for Itachi like a brother, and treated Sasuke no different than Menma, his own flesh and blood little brother.

If anything, she decided, the blonde haired young man deserved her love and affection in any way he allowed her to give it. Of course, when she had succumbed to her desires for him, long since hidden, she may not have intended to go to such an extent as they did. But, after having known his for so long, seeing the way she would catch him looking at her if she wore something just a hair's breadth too short, the way he would unabashedly flirt with her, and finally catching him peaking on her in the onsen. Well, she knew it wasn't him that time, but it didn't mean she'd never caught him doing Jiraiya-esque things in the past. She just couldn't really find it in herself to fight the feelings she had developed for her student over the years any longer, especially not after the way he had treated her body.

It was a mix of respect, desire, hints of love and unbridled lust that no man had ever so openly showed her. One moment he could be punishing her mature body with that gift from the gods that dangled between his chiseled legs, and the next he could be kissing her with such grace she had never felt against her lips. Her favorite however, was when they had finished their actions on that fateful day in the woods, despite their agreement, they had laid on the soft grass and just held one another as they recovered. He had joked and laughed with her, kissed her lips gently and passionately, caressed her body that had aged like a fine imported wine from the western continents. Fugaku had never done anything like that with her, and she had never had any previous lovers before him, too many scared of the man her father had been. She supposed this was how Kushina had felt when she was with Minato, like someone really and truly cared about you for just being there with them.

She smiled to herself as she pulled the notepad to her that Tsunade had most likely snapped Jiraiya in half for, feeling her face heat and biting her lip as she read only a few lines. Her previous sex life had truly not even come close to holding a candle to this one moment in time her Sensei's lover had managed to capture in a surprisingly articulate manner. Though, having sustained herself off of the little orange books she found when cleaning Itachi's room, she already knew of Jiraiya's writing prowess. She supposed the reason she enjoyed it so much however, because yes she had read these few pages many times, was not only the pleasure it brought her at the time and reliving it; but, because of who was in these scenes with her.

A man, who by all rights and purposes she probably never should've found herself in such situations with, but one she found herself falling for more and more as she thought of him. Between his reactions to her teasing, flirting and vivacious ways of gaining his attention, down to the core root that she just loved the thrill of having a younger man for herself. Kushina surely would be undoubtedly pissed with her, but she had made her mind up about her next course of action and as she felt the air shift next to her, she realized it was just at the right moment.

Looking over, she couldn't help the smile that came to her face as her ebony eyes met that mismatched set of his. "You sure do know how to keep a lady waiting, Naruto-kun," she wasted no time to tease him, but enjoyed the calm smile that was her answer. "I do hope you enjoyed your family dinner, Mei-chan told me she has been working hard in mastering her cooking ability."

"I did, it was nice enjoying Kirigakure cuisine after so long," the blonde casually smiled as he sat down next to her, accepting the saucer of sake she had poured and waiting for him. She smiled again as she watched his eyes travel across her form before he took a slow sip of the beverage. "I see you're enjoying having the house to yourself," he joked, full well knowing the answer, knowing that they wouldn't be meeting here if she didn't.

"I see you're enjoying my outfit," she smiled, leaning into his arm as she spoke, revealing more of her poorly hidden cleavage to his exotic eyes. "Has Mei-chan told you of our conversation?"

His blonde brow rose in obvious question, "Of your request for me to be here, or was there something more?"

"I suppose she wouldn't have told you, I did want to speak to you personally about it," she giggled, taking the saucer from his hand before expertly straddling his thighs and wrapping her arms around his neck. His hand instinctually found the small of her back and pressed her curvy body to his firm chest, taking only a moment to capture her lips in a kiss. Mikoto melted into the gesture, immediately opening her mouth to allow his tongue entrance as they resumed where they had been interrupted earlier in the day.

Though, he seemed confused as she broke the kiss a moment later, looking into his eyes as she moved to rest her forehead against his. "What do you think of our agreement, Naruto-kun," she whispered, and honestly the blonde was confused by it. His eyes looking deep into her own as he found something foreign within them, or rather something hidden and carefully veiled. "Do you like it, is that all you want from me or if I told you I wanted more, would that scare you?"

His eyes widened slightly, "something more, Mikoto-sensei?"

She smiled sweetly as she planted a quick kiss to his cheek, "Just Mikoto, Naruto-kun," she whispered into his ear before pulling back to look him in the eyes, enjoying the blush she had caused. "That's right, something more, something with a future for you and I," she elaborated, and she could feel the beat against her chest quicken ever so slightly.

He looked down for a moment, to their bodies pressed tightly to one another, "Are you asking what I think you are, Mikoto," he questioned, after looking back up to meet her eyes.

She giggled slightly, missing the effect the sound had on his cheeks. "Does that make you nervous, Naruto-kun, that your old sensei could feel such a way about you," Mikoto asked, leaning in and surprising him when she claimed his lips for another kiss. "It must be intimidating to find out your best friend's mother has such feelings for you," she guessed after breaking the kiss once more.

"I wouldn't call you old, and honestly that's not the reason I'd be intimidated if I was," he said, that cocky grin of his coming to his cheeks.

She giggled once more at his flattery and denial of the way she knew this was making him feel, "Maybe, I should just ask then," she smiled, once more claiming his lips, a purr escaping her throat as she felt his arms pull her even tighter into his chest. "Would you give me a chance at an actual relationship with you?"

Naruto looked into her eyes after she had pulled away and asked, part of him unable to believe this was actually happening. Never in his wildest dreams about this woman, had he imagined that this question would ever actually come from her lips. Though, to be fair there were many things they had done after Jiraiya's stunt that he never dreamed would actually happen. But, this, this was something completely different all together and as he looked into her eyes he found his answer.

Mikoto squeaked as she felt his lips crash into hers, one of his hands coming from the small of her back to the back of her neck as they once more kissed. She felt her arms slacken around his neck slightly as she allowed herself to melt further into this kiss, that dominating side of his finding it's way into their exchange. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head behind her closed lids as she felt the passion he was pouring into the gesture, the strength he kissed her with.

When he finally pulled back, she nearly pouted until he spoke. "Yes," her eyes widened, and then a large smile came to her face as she hugged him tightly. "Though, that means I'll have to take you on a proper date, multiple," he chuckled into her black hair, and she could feel it as a smile grew on his lips.

"I expect no less, though I may need to model a few of my dresses for you tonight," she laughed, pulling back from the hug.

"Or you could just wear what you are now," he countered with the inkling of a perverted smile on his lips. Watching as she retook her seat next to him on the porch, he winced as she laughed at his comment after popping his chest.

"Yet, you say you're not a pervert," she rolled her eyes, pouring a saucer of her expensive sake for each of them.

"I have never been quoted saying anything of the sort," he chuckled, earning a shake of the head from his former sensei. Though, instead of replying she motioned for him to take his saucer as she took her own. Holding her dish forward, Naruto gently clinked his to hers and they both downed the strong substance. When finished the two sat it aside, in favor of falling back into their old habit of just drinking directly from the bottle.

Within about twenty minutes, they finished the rather small but strong amount of rice wine, Mikoto leaning back on her elbows with her eyes focused on the tanned hand on her milky thigh. He had placed it there only a minute ago, slightly massaging the muscle below the layer of skin, bringing a smile to her face. The smile however grew when his hand finally did what she had been waiting for, dove between her thick thighs and began rubbing the lips poorly hidden by her lace black panties. A purr escaped her as his free hand picked the leg closest to him up and sat it over his knee, giving him a better view as he focused on his work. She moaned as she felt his hand pull her panties aside, exposing the sensitive clump of nerves to the chill night air as his other hand came to her bare lips and began to rub. No words were exchanged between them as he continued to rub her, looking back to meet her eyes with a small smile before continuing on.

Mikoto felt herself growing wetter as he continued, the two once more out in the open to be caught by any lucky passerby as they fooled around. But, she didn't mind, at least judging from the loud moan she released as he sunk the two fingers he had been rubbing her with into her folds. One of her hands moved to hold her lace panties back for him as his hand moved to lift her other leg by her thigh, giving him even more access to twist his fingers as he moved them in and out of her. It was like that one time in the forest had been all the blonde needed to learn just what she loved to have done to her.

The firm grip on her thigh disappeared for a moment, but when he pushed himself off the porch and turned back to reveal those hungry eyes of his as he crouched between her legs, she found out his plan. There was no hesitation in her former student as he pulled the panties down her legs and then forcefully spread her legs after throwing them to the side, she couldn't control the moan as his tongue began to explore her crevice. Her back arched in pleasure as after swirling his tongue around inside of her to taste her juices he expertly glided his tongue to her nub before flicking it and beginning to suck on it. Mikoto's moaning only doubled as she felt his fingers once more invade her lips, pushing in and out as he gently sucked and licked her clitoris. Her fist clenching and balling into his blonde spikes as she begged him for more, pleading that he never stop.

His fingers did leave her sheathe however as he returned to licking her labia, lapping up all of her juices from the arousal his fingers had given her. But, her eyebrows raised in shock when he pushed her legs further back and his tongue teased another hole. A growl escaped his throat as she tried to force him back to her folds, the dominant noise surprising her and bending her to his will. No one had ever done that to her, and she bit her lip as she felt his tongue invade her other much tighter hole. Mikoto didn't even know something so erotic could be pleasurable as she groaned at the new sensation, her hand leaving his hair as she began to rub her clit as she watched him do as he pleased.

His exotic mismatched match eyes didn't break their stare even once as he continued to taste her forbidden hole, teasing it enough to manage sticking his entire tongue in and swirl it around to his heart's content. The moan broke from her throat of its own free will as she felt her climax building more and more. They had only just begun and he was already forcing her over the edge, and yet people would question her newfound addiction to her student.

Naruto felt her thighs as they began to spasm in his strong grip and he knew what was coming, surprising her as he pushed her hand away only to replace them with his tongue and lips as he once more moved. A scream broke from her as she felt pure ecstasy wash over her, barely even able to keep her eyes open as Naruto eagerly devoured her juices once more.

When she felt the feeling leave her she collapsed onto the polished wooden porch, panting heavily as he stood up tall and strong; easily spotting the hungry look in her eyes as she spotted what was struggling to get out of his pants. However, her focus was broken as he grabbed his shirt by the hem and pulled it over his head in one fluid motion, revealing his chiseled body, the seals on his chest and arms, and the Anbu tattoo they both had on their left bicep. She mustered strength back into her muscles and pushed herself up, immediately pulling his frame to her as she began to lick and suck the bulging muscles of his core. She smiled into his abdomen as he released a moan at her sensual kisses, before he released another when her hand found what was struggling to free itself from its confines. "What do you plan to do to your sensei with this, Naruto-kun," she cooed innocently, looking up into his eyes submissively.

He felt her shiver as she saw his wolfish grin, "what would you like me to do with it sensei," he questioned, grabbing her chin in his hand.

She only smiled back up at him as her hands found his waistband and pulled, gasping when his length popped out and hit her breasts. He released her chin as he felt her wrap her slim fingers around it and began to pump it, lifting it up and immediately dunking her head to suck on his balls. A moan escaped his lips as she worked, groaning when he felt her tongue travel from the base of his shaft to the mushroom head of his cock. Another moan came from him as she wrapped her lips around that very head, tasting his precum in full as she began to bob her head back and forth. The blonde couldn't control his moans as she expertly swirled her tongue around his member, the way she already seemed to know just what he liked.

After a few moments, that felt like much longer for the blonde, Mikoto pulled back and stood up abruptly, confusing him slightly. But, Mikoto ignored the look and grabbed his length, beginning to lead him along by it, "Come along, I want you to take me on my marital bed," the smirk she wore was absolutely seductive in nature.

A/N: Don't give me that look, you've gotten two special scenes in the last two chapters, also congratulations to those of you who voted for NaruMiko. Sorry to those who did not, but this is a bit of a drawback to allowing everyone to voice their opinion on a matter. Just to update you, Son Goku is still in the lead and beginning to pull away from Kokuo. I hope you all place your votes in the review section so that you can have a better chance of seeing what you want.

Naruto's Harem is now: Naruto x Mei x Tayuya x Katsumi(OC) x Temari x ? (keeping it hidden for now) x Mikoto

Menma's mini-Harem is pretty obvious, but there will be one extra addition for now, also keeping that hidden.

Kakashi x Anko is being built more and more as we go

Shizune x ? is still slightly up in the air at the moment, you may voice your opinions

Asuma x Kurenai is always and should always be a thing, question is will I make it follow cannon?

Jiraiya x Tsunade forever going to be some comedic relief for me, probably some tear jerking moments down the line as well, no idea at the moment.

Now then, I do need suggestions for both Itachi and Hana pairings, you guys let me know. It may be controversial but, with Itachi alive I may be working on an idea to keep him that way in later chapters. You can also give me suggestions or spitball some ideas with me on that one, might change things.

Anyway, hope you guys enjoyed the 22nd update, don't forget to leave me a review, follow and favorite!
