Author's Note: Hello all and welcome back! Hope you're doing well. :)

Not gonna lie, I cut it a little closer than I would've preferred with this one. Didn't realize that I forgot to edit it until the upload date was only a few days away, but it usually takes me that long to edit a chapter anyway, so we're good. XD

Do bear in mind that I suck at editing, though, so feel free to point out any grammatical errors that might have slipped by me.

On with the fic!

Chapter Sixteen: the Loli Pounces

Later that night, while Naruto was happily snoozing away with Glissa on one arm and Kemba on the other, the blond in question had himself a very weird dream…

Deep in a massive underground dungeon, Naruto found himself wandering about aimlessly as he tried to find a way out. But the place was like a damn maze; no matter how far he walked nothing seemed to change. Everything kept going on and on without end.

Oddly enough, he eventually found himself walking up a flight of stairs that lead to a wall, only to start walking up the wall without using chakra, somehow. After walking up the wall a little more, he took a left turn and found himself going down another flight of stairs, which lead to the wall of a half-open room. Walking down the wall and hopping onto the floor, he walked down a spiraling stairwell. It lead him to a tunnel of some kind and on the other side, there was what looked like a massive jail cell in the wall of a multi-hundred-story chamber beneath a network of metal pipes.

"Okay… this is an odd dream," He said aloud to himself.

Then, he perked up, hearing a very familiar giggle. It was coming from inside the jail cell… and his common sense told him to back away from it.

Then his common sense took a back seat when he saw her emerge from the shadows… the girl from his daydreams and like that, the dungeon melted away, replaced by that field of flowers.

"I've been waiting for you to finally show up, Naruto-kuuun~!" She purred, her orange eyes glinting with mischief as her lips spread into a sultry grin.

Naruto shuddered, but in a good way, at the sound of her voice. It sent pleasant tingles up his back just hearing it! He took one step forward and asked, "...Who are you?"

The vixen giggled girlishly and leaned her cheek against her palm, "My name isn't important," she said, knowing better than to give him her name, "What is important is that you've finally shown up!"

Naruto took another step forward.

"Is this a... dream or no?"

"It's whateeever you want it to be~!"

Naruto groaned, feeling something stir in his trousers… and the naked, orange-haired hottie didn't help in the slightest. A dream. This definitely had to be a dream… a really good dream.

"A dream, then…" He concluded aloud to himself, and looked her in the eyes, "And I suppose that makes you…?" Naruto purposely trailed off in the hopes she would finish it for him.

"Well, I suppose that makes me your dream girl~!" Kurako giggled girlishly, complete with a wink.

That was all the assurance Naruto needed, because if she was his dream girl, then it meant he can do anything to her. And what he wanted to do more than anything was to fuck her into a sexual puddle of goo!

Kurako shuddered pleasantly, as if reading his mind. She licked her lips with lidded eyes and before Naruto realized what had happened, his clothes were gone. She sauntered on up to him, with an enticing sway to those nice birthing hips. She wrapped her arms around him, pressing her body to him.

She was very small, he noted; Naruto stood head and shoulders above her, actually, not that he was complaining.

But then, as she let out a giggle, her grin widening to an outright ravenous one, her eyes started glowing, a pair of vulpine ears sprouting from her head as nine fox-like tails faded into existence around him.

"And I can be so much more if you want me to," she growled sexily. "All I ask in exchange is that you let me out for a breath of fresh air~!"

Naruto could keep the wide-eyed look of shock off his face as her extra appendages manifested. This… this couldn't actually be the Kyuubi, right? That warning Shinigami gave him flashed through his mind, cautioning him that someone called Kurako doing anything to get out.

"I have a counter-offer," he told her. Something told him that if this was the same Kyuubi, then she likely had a massive ego. "Let's settle this with a little... contest."

"Oh-ho-hooo~! You really think you can challenge me?" Kurako asked with a haughty tone, rolling her eyes at the very thought. Her reaction all but confirmed his suspicions. Then, she flashed him another grin, this one being more vicious but still somehow adorable. "Please, I'd fuck you into a coma without even trying~!"

That wasn't what he was going for, but alright. He let out a chuckle at that. "If you really are Kurako," he started, "then something tells me that you know how I am about backing down from a challenge."

Her eyes grew wide a slight tinge at him uttering her name, but Kurako recovered quickly. Taking a moment to sift through his thoughts, she grinned. "Ah… Shinigami was hiding that meeting from me," the loli muttered thoughtfully. It confused her; if Shinigami went through the trouble of doing that, then why did he allow her to detect it now?

Questions for later…

"Regardless, you have quite the pair, boy~!" Kurako purred. "Both figuratively and otherwise… Very well, then; if I win this little contest of yours, you let me out."

"And if I win, you... help me with my training for a week," he fired back after taking a moment to think on what she could do for him after she's beaten.

That took Kurako by surprise to say the least; she was expecting him to make her a sex slave, but for some reason, he changed his mind at the last second. And the reason why… She had to admit the whelp just earned a shred of her approval after he resisted the urge to commit... out of respect of all things! (1)

"Challenge accepted," she cooed throatily. She was confident that this would be no contest; after all, her new body was made from all the best parts of the women he liked and she knew where all of his weaknesses were! She was geared to win! The absolute last thing she expected was for Naruto to make her toes curl on contact when he caressed her loins while taking her breath away with a smouldering kiss.

And that was precisely what he did…

Kurako went cross eyed at the sensation of his fingers lightly stroking her labia and swirling the middle one around her clit, a deep, carnal pleasure building up in her loins.

No! No, no no! Absolutely not! There was no way in this world's hell or any other that she could possibly be this much of a feather—

"Guuuh~!" Kurako gasped and shuddered; the little vixen's nipples perked up and her loins twitched hungrily the instant he slid a finger into her honeypot at just the right angle. There was no way...

Naruto chuckled triumphantly at the feel of her inner walls clamping down around his finger, but he wasn't done yet. Urging the still-reeling Kurako to her knees, he followed down himself and continued fingering the vulpine loli while slipping behind her. With his free hand, he played with a nice, little tit while grinding his hardon against the valley of her firm, but pillowy asscheeks.

Already, Kurako was out of breath, to her utter shock and dismay. He was utterly owning her in this and there wasn't a damn thing she could do about it unless she… SHIT!

When Naruto pinched a nipple and inserted another finger, she came again—this time, twice as hard. She toppled forward, catching herself on her hands when Naruto let her fall and then, Kurako felt his fingers withdraw from her loins. Then, the vulpine loli felt a hand on her hip and something big and bulbous brushing up and down against her folds. Before she could react, Naruto pushed forward, splitting her lower lips wide around his mighty cock.

Slowly but surely, inch by glorious, painful, delicious inch, he sank into her until finally, Kurako felt his balls press against her clit.

Naruto moaned hungrily at the feel of her impossibly tight snatch clamping down on him. He almost felt bad for her; if Kurako's ego wasn't already shattered, it was about to be. Then, without warning, he started to move. His pace was mercifully slow at first, but it quickly built up and soon enough, he was fucking her like a cheap whore.

Kurako didn't stand a chance against the onslaught as his cock mercilessly turned her little cunny inside-out; she wailed orgasmically at the wave of pleasure that washed over her. The poor thing's arms buckled beneath her and she quite literally came all over his dick, her juices gushing forth and coating his balls.

Naruto growled in exertion at the sensation of her fleshy vice clamping down and convulsing around his dick; she was milking him already, but he didn't let up; no, he wanted to make this victory of his undeniable; he was going to do his damnedest to ruin her if it was the last thing he did!

The world spun before her eyes, the field of flowers vanishing around them in place of her massive cage. The sound of them rutting echoed off the walls along with her whorish wailing; her tails wrapped around him as he pounded the shape of his dick into her cunt, marking it as his and his alone to enjoy... and then, when she came again, Naruto finally let loose with a roar.

"GAH!"

Naruto was jolted awake by the sound of Kemba's yelp. His eyes met hers and she gave him a flat look while absolutely covered in his semen.

Glissa, meanwhile, tried and spectacularly failed to hide her amusement.

Then, the clang of copper feet on steel alerted them to his guards coming in.

The first one to enter was one of the newer additions to Naruto's retinue—a fetching, young bombshell with a shapely hourglass figure and the biggest rack among his guards by far. The copper on her arms ended at the elbows and on her legs, it ended just an inch below the hip. There was also a plate of metal upon her brow that resembled a tiara.

This woman's name was Ashara. (2)

She and Tyra entered the room looking concerned at first… and then amused. Deciding to check, regardless, Ashara addressed the trio. "Is everything alright?"

"Wet dream," Naruto grunted, still rather tired.

"All over me," Kemba added grumpily. "Again."

Drip~!

Then, she froze upon feeling something wet fall on her head and her eye twitched. Did he really just get it on the ceiling?!

"Oh-ho, my~!" Glissa cooed with a lewd grin, as she looked up at the ceiling. "Someone had a lot more left in him than we thought~!"

Meanwhile, back in the seal, poor Kurako lay face down, ass-up, and foaming at the mouth in a swirly-eyed heap; her ego would never be the same again… (3)

That morning, in her room at a local tavern, a certain pink-eyed brunette scowled in distress. As she stared at her own reflection in the mirror, Kurotsuchi was feeling rather… conflicted. And the reason was a certain glorious bastard of a blond!

This was just supposed to be another job like all the others! This wasn't her first rodeo, after all; Kurotsuchi had taken on no less than six other infiltration missions, all of which having involved seduction to one extent or another; so how the absolute fuck did she end up becoming so attached to her target in this one?! He wasn't even her type, for fuck's sake!

Kurotsuchi sighed heavily, her cheeks burning. It… it had to be that dick of his. That thick, glorious, deep-reaching di—No! She wasn't nearly that shallow! Well, not entirely… it was more than that, though… The boy was legitimately so kind and went so far out of his way to make sure every woman he was in a relationship with was being taken care of... even the purely sexual ones.

Despite the fact that she was just a whore for all he knew, despite the fact that they barely knew each other, despite the fact that he was married to two women and fucking seven others that she knew of, that son of a bitch always made her feel like the only one in the world who mattered when they were going at it, even when they were just having a dirty fuck in a back alley! On top of that, he was always so kind and friendly to her… and looking out for her.

It… honestly hurt. But there was hope for her… there was a chance, albeit a small one, that Jii-chan wouldn't order her to assassinate him. It would be a major risk, after all, given that the current Raikage wants nothing to do with fighting Konoha and Kirigakure was recovering from a civil war. If they tried such a thing, there was a high chance that Konoha would find out and Iwagakure would be facing off against her, Sunagakure, and Taj Nar, with no sufficient allies to fall back on. That wouldn't even be a war; it'd be a massacre! One on a scale similar to the destruction of Uzushio, just over two decades ago. And if Jii-chan realized that risk, then he wouldn't tell her to assassinate Naruto-kun… right?

Wait…

Kurotsuchi blushed harder. Since when did she start calling him Naruto-kun?!

She sighed again, her cheeks only burning hotter. It didn't matter… The important part was that she honestly didn't know what to do if Jii-chan told her to follow through with such a thing! Right now, she could only hope… the message from Jii-chan should be arriving in a little more than a month from now, and once she gets it, she will finally know.

If she was ordered to assassinate Naruto-Kun… she'll cross that bridge when she gets to it.

Later that day, completely oblivious to the threat someone could pose to her love-interest, Hyuuga Hinata finally mustered up the will to confront Naruto's wives—Kemba-san in particular. She was on break, now, while Naruto-kun was scheduled to work today… and hopefully, he left early to go out and about as usual.

She still lacked the courage to talk to him. Near crippling shyness would do that to a person. Go figure.

But, still, she had to do this… especially after watching him have his way with Ino of all people! To think he'd… he'd fornicate with that one before her! Sakura, she would've understood, but Ino?! That… that just came out of nowhere!

Oh, little did she know of the date they had beforehand… and the 'oral commendation' the blonde had given him. Hinata had just barely caught up with them after they left the grill and ducked into an alley, watching them from afar with her Byakugan.

Taking a deep breath, Hinata approached the Uzumaki Family quarters, flanked by her leonin guards.

She was now garbed in a loose, black tank top that she took several days to start wearing outside with a pleated, lavender skirt and matching sandals. Her usual jacket was tied around the waist so that she wouldn't die from a heat stroke. (4)

Despite the heat, though, she still couldn't help but wonder how the Mirran could stand to dress so immodestly… Hinata would die from embarrassment if she were to wear anything like what Kemba was often seen in, let alone the much skimpier garb of her bodyguards!

Pushing those thoughts aside, the young Hyuuga found herself standing before the living quarters of her crush and knocked politely. She was greeted with the sight of Glissa who looked surprised to see her.

"You… need something?"

"I w-would like to speak... w-with Kemba-san."

Glissa gave her an odd look before shrugging and beckoning for her to enter.

Hinata did so with a polite bow and was more than a little relieved to see that Naruto was absent while being led to the bedroom.

As for the leonin heiress, she was donning the last bits of her royal attire after her nice bath. "So, what is it?" Kemba asked, giving the girl a sidelong glance.

Hinata took everyone by surprise, dropping to her hands and knees, looking as though she were about to grovel at Kemba's feet. "I apologize for… for m-making such a bad first im-impression," she said, bowing so deep that her forehead touched the ground. "I w-was jealous, because I th-thought you were g-going to take N-Naruto-kun away b-before I had a… a chance to muster up the will t-to confess my f-feelings towards him."

Kemba just… stared for what felt like an eternity. She honestly had no idea how to react to this, but damn, did she feel petty after seeing it! The future Kha palmed her face and sighed. How could she possibly be mad at this girl anymore?! "P-please get up," she muttered. "You're making me feel like a complete ass…"

Hinata sat up, still unable to look Kemba in the eyes. "S-sorry…"

"And stop apologizing!"

The young Hyuuga flinched and reflexively opened her mouth to apologize again, but caught herself and just sat there, fidgeting helplessly.

"I feel so guilty for finding that adorable," Glissa commented, making Hinata blush. (5)

"Alright, look," Kemba sighed, rubbing her temples, "your apology is… accepted. And I, in turn, apologize as well. I was a bitch to you and it was uncalled for." Even though she would have been a red smear on the ground if looks could kill... this brat sitting before her may be considered an adult, but she was still a hormonal, little girl at the end of the day.

"It wasn't that bad," Hinata assured.

"Even still, I was far more of a bitch to you than you were to me," Kemba muttered. "But now that it's behind us, you have my blessing in trying to pursue your feelings towards Naruto."

Hinata blushed heavily at the thought, a cloud of steam rising from her cheeks, much to Glissa's amusement. "Th-thank you," the girl muttered. "If… If I may, I n-noticed that he's… absent… w-would you happen to know wh-what he's doing?"

Meanwhile, in a nearby park, just a mile or so south of Taj Nar's outer walls, the low thump of Naruto's balls slapping against a girl's clit filled the clearing. The girl was Inuzuka Kishu, garbed in a simple, black dress with a gray sash and matching sandals. The way it was tied in the back resembled a tail, making her look almost like a cute, little puppy with those pigtails of hers.

He simply couldn't resist when she came onto him, and now they were mating like dogs in heat, right in the open! It was so dirty... so arousing… he couldn't hold back if his life depended on it! With a loud grunt, Naruto slammed into her, pumping this hot-ass young woman with yet another batch of his seed. Just like with the two loads before, he thrust into her with every spurt and with every thrust, he pulled an adorable yelp from the brunette that sounded like a yip.

It was just so cute! (6)

"It might be more accurate to ask who he's doing," Glissa commented, making Hinata blush even harder.

"Agreed," Kemba grunted, feeling a half-exasperated, half-proud smile tug at the corners of her mouth. "I... may have created a monster… but I don't regret it in the slightest."

"S-so…" Hinata asked awkwardly, her curiosity proving too strong, "h-how many ch-children does he have on… on the way?"

"He's impregnated three women that we're aware of," Glissa said. "Us included. He's also had intercourse with another... sixteen, but it's too early to tell with them; there's also the ramen girl and one other, but he hasn't gone all the way with them… again, to our knowledge; he works so fast that it's hard to keep up."

To this day, they didn't know about the female half of Kindred... though, to be fair, Naruto still doubted that his wives would believe him even if he told them about Lamb and Wolf… and news of his latest conquest had yet to reach back home.

But still, even then…

Hinata couldn't help but drool. That stud had sexual contact with nearly two-dozen women and busted a nut in all but one?! Oh, she could only imagine what he was capable of with that level of experience.

"Easy, there," Glissa teased, "we don't wanna stain the carpet, now~!"

Hinata's cheeks turned an even darker shade of red at that and she fidgeted shyly.

Kemba let out a sigh and spoke. "We'll really have to work on your confidence if you want a piece of Naruto," she said. "Can't have you fainting on him the moment he says 'hi' to you..." It has been a while, but Naruto did tell her Hinata always fainted on him.

"I s-stopped doing that... a while ago," she muttered. "It's… it's when he c-compliments me that I get... overwhelmed."

Though truth be told, she had always found it disappointing when he didn't take advantage of her vulnerable state... (7)

"Well, at least we know your limits," Kemba muttered. It was a good place to start if nothing else.

Meanwhile, with Sakura, the pinkette was curled up into a ball, hugging her knees with a black cloud of gloom hovering above her head. Needless to say, it didn't take long for her to catch wind of Naruto's date with Ino of all people.

Seriously, that just came out of nowhere! If it was Hinata, she'd have understood; the girl did live in Taj Nar, after all, and literally everyone in class knew she had a crush on him since they were five. But Ino?! Ino of all people?! She had never even shown the slightest hint of interest in Naruto!

Granted, Sakura could tell she felt sorry for him a while back, before their rivalry for Sasuke had started, but that was it! How did this happen?!

The pinkette sighed heavily. She felt like a man dying of thirst watching another one drown… and to make matters worse, Sakura knew damn well that it was her own fault. (8)

"I need to make this right," she muttered. Sure, she'd already apologized, but that… that wasn't good enough… she needed to do more…

She didn't know what, but Sakura had to do something!

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to her, a red-haired woman with gleaming crimson eyes leered into the pinkette's bedroom window, with a conflicted expression. She could feel Sakura's envy, regret, and self-loathing... and it went without saying that she was not expecting the pinkette to feel that way.

Opting to wait and see what happens for now, the woman slipped away and disappeared.

As Kishu scampered off to her compound a few hours later, a very satisfied Naruto and his entourage returned to Taj Nar, all with a visible spring in their collective step. Now was as good a time as any to start getting ready for another day of missions and training, so the blond had returned to do just that.

As he entered the gates, however, that train of thought was… delayed upon seeing a rather impressive rack heading his way. Ahem… Quickly tearing his gaze away from the bouncing funbags, nearly as big as his fucking head, so as not to come off as creepy, Naruto realized that they belonged to Hinata of all people.

Damn… he knew she was hiding something under that coat, but nothing could've prepared him for that revelation as the blond didn't manage to get a very good look at her ample bosom. He knew it was impressive despite that, but damn!

Speaking of, the girl in question was now garbed in a violet, pleated skirt and black thigh highs, a black, midriff-baring tank, and a pair of simple, matching shoes, her beige coat tied around Hinata's waist. The village headband, hers sporting a purple cloth, was also worn like a scarf around Hinata's neck.

There was one thing going through Naruto's mind at that moment.

"Puberty did her good."

What? It was nothing perverted! Not at all…

"Damn, does she have big tits though!"

...uh, never mind, it was very perverted... but it wasn't like he could be blamed!

As the two of them started getting closer to each other, Hinata predictably started to blush and fidget. Her cheeks only burned hotter when she realized that Naruto was actively trying not to stare at her chest.

"So…" the blond began, stopping right next to her, "how's your day going?"

"P-pretty well," Hinata replied, trying not to stare at the bulge in his trousers. "M-my team and I are… a-about to go on our first C-Rank. W-we'll be away f-for about a week."

"Oh! That's good to hear." Naruto said with a congratulatory tone. "My team is stuck on doing D-ranks and teamwork exercises. But, that's mostly so Sakura can catch up to myself and Sasuke." he shrugged and smiled brightly, "Still, though, it's nice to hear you're doing a C-rank. You're going up in the world!" He was surprised that she wasn't fainting on him again and was able to hold a conversation as well. She's got more confidence in herself it looks like!

Hinata sputtered cutely, her cheeks reddening, but she was still conscious.

"Th-th-thank you," she muttered. "Y-your career will certainly catch up wh-when you fill that third slot and… p-produce enough heirs, I'm sure." She averted her gaze at that last part, unable to look him in the eye.

"If the Mirran have anything to say about that, the third slot will be taken sooner rather than later…"

Naruto intended to mutter that quietly, but Hinata was still able to hear it.

"...I noticed," she grunted with a pout.

Okay, he had to admit, that was kinda cute. Naruto chuckled warmly and placed a hand on her chin, urging the jealous Hyuuga to look him in the eye. "Say, when you're back," he said, giving her a charming smile, "you… wanna go out?"

Hinata's knees nearly buckled right then and there, but she shook her head and slapped herself awake. Taking a deep, calming breath, she then tried to respond but it got caught in her throat. So, she nodded timidly.

Naruto smiled at that, taking a moment to enjoy her adorable awkwardness.

"I… need to go," the busty girl eventually said, her voice barely above a whisper, and then she hastily dismissed herself before scampering off to join her team, hoping to any gods who would listen that he didn't think she was being rude.

Fortunately, he didn't think so. In fact, he was surprised she hadn't done it sooner. That said, though, he had to admit that he was impressed by her new-found self control.

Later that day, in Training Ground Seven, Naruto was meditating once more, a leaf in his hand. Kurako, meanwhile, gave him some advice.

"Picture a thin blade," she said, "Wind is the cutting element; the finer the blade the less material it has to push aside when you use it to attack."

Her voice was oddly subdued when she spoke; clearly, he'd wounded her pride quite a bit last night, but she was a woman of her word.

'Thanks, Kurako-chan!'

All he got in return was a huff, but the blond didn't mind.

Naruto then hummed thoughtfully after a moment and examined the leaf in his hands. There was a small nick on the edge; it wasn't much, but he was making progress. Nodding to himself, he made three batches of clones this time around, he assigned one to do the leaf-cutting exercise that Kurako had told him about while the other two carried on with chakra control and mastering the Sword of Wind.

And while he returned to the exorcise himself, Sakura was flat on her back once more, resting up after another routine with that barbell as she eyeballed Naruto.

She frowned deeply.

With the blond dating Ino and Hinata living in Taj Nar... and his reputation on top of that, he would probably fuck every girl from their old class but her at this rate! And that thought rubbed her the wrong way for some reason...

"Mostly because it would have been your own damn fault if he did," her inner voice muttered.

Sakura sighed heavily. That was so much more true than she would care to admit… She did push him away every time he tried to get close, after all...

But… maybe, just maybe it wasn't too late for her to salvage things between them, right…?

With a grunt, Sakura got up and staggered on over to him, her decision made. Enough was enough; she had to do something about this or it would drive her insane!

Naruto perked up when he felt a dainty hand on his shoulder.

"W-we need to talk," Sakura told him. "In private…"

Naruto gave her a confused frown, staring at the pinkette oddly, but then shrugged and nodded. "Alright," he said. "You need to do this right now, or…?"

"Preferably," she said, averting her gaze. "If you don't mind…"

Naruto sighed and nodded again. He couldn't help but notice that Sakura looked like she needed to get something off of her chest for days, now, and whatever it was had gotten worse. Truth be told, he was going to confront her about it during their lunch break, but… "Now's as good a time as any, I guess. Lead the way."

As his two students walked away, Kakashi eyeballed them and snapped his book shut. "Right, then" he muttered to himself, "I may as well head to the missions' center while they're doing that."

Sakura brought him to a nearby clearing. Of course, his guards had followed and fanned out to make sure the area was safe, but they left Naruto and Sakura to themselves—even casting some anti-scrying magic on the area so they could have their private chat.

When that was done, Naruto then turned to address the pinkette. "So… I take it this is about me dating your friend?"

"Y-yes and no," she admitted, before averting her gaze. "It's… more about you and me, though."

Naruto frowned again, looking concerned as he crossed his arms. "You've already apologized for how you treated me, if that's what's bothering you… I'm a very forgiving person, so that is really all I needed."

"It's not all I need to do to forgive myself, though," she told him, her tone sounding… broken.

Now, Naruto was definitely worried for his teammate. That sounded like a red flag if ever he'd heard one. But before he could say anything, Sakura forced herself to look him in the eye, making him hesitate at the half-dead expression, and spoke again.

"That apology wasn't enough," she insisted. "It wasn't good enough, after how badly I treated you… And to make matters worse, I only started feeling guilty after I figured out who your father was!" Tears began to stream from her eyes and her voice became more and more frantic as the dam broke and Sakura spilled everything right there. "It made me realize how shallow I really am… how much of a bitch I really am… and I… and I hate myself for being such a terrible person! I hate myself for chasing you off the way I did in favor of a guy who wants nothing to do with me…" She fell to her knees and bawled her eyes out. "I'm sorry… I'm so sorry…"

'Oh, damn it,' Naruto thought, letting out a sigh and scooping the emotional pinkette up into a comforting hug. If there was one thing he hated with every fiber of his being, it was to see a girl cry. So, the blond felt that the least he could do was to give her a shoulder to cry on… and so, he did, rubbing her back comfortingly and doing his best to soothe his teammate.

"Look, Sakura, it's fine. It's okay. Really." He wasn't all that good at reassuring people, but damn it, he was going to do his best! "It's not as bad as you make it out to be, honest!"

"It's worse," she muttered, eventually. The tears were still flowing, but she had at least stopped wailing like a dying cat. "It all began when I started getting jealous of your wife… I got jealous because you stopped trying to ask me out… then, I figured out who your father was…"

Naruto frowned again and sighed, hugging her close. "Again, it's fine… I understand… I'm sorry for making you feel that way."

"You have nothing to apologize for," she muttered. "And it's not okay. I… I need to make up for it, somehow…"

Naruto bit back a groan before it could escape. Having her do something to make up for this would just make him feel guilty. But, at the same time… if being a married man taught him anything, it was that sometimes, the only way to please a woman was to make a compromise. "Alright, I'll bite; what do you have in mind...?"

Sakura thought long and hard about it. Maybe a date…? No. She couldn't force him to take her out like that… it would just be selfish! But she had to make up for it somehow… and thank him for comforting her… Sakura sank into his warm embrace, enjoying it far more than the pinkette ever thought she could. His scent added to it too, somehow… Slowly, but surely an idea started to form in her emotionally-stricken mind.

She had to make amends… and to do that Sakura had to give him something… something valuable… something significant… something he's wanted for a long time, something that would make up for everything she had done to him.

"I… I want you to... punish me," she said hesitantly. Placing a hand on his cheek, she met his gaze and continued before he could respond. "I want to make up for being such a bitch to you by… uh..." she tore her gaze away from his at the last second as she forced the words out. "By… uh… by m-making me... your bitch..." Her voice was barely above a whisper when she said those last two words.

Naruto could only stare at her; he had no idea how to react to that. Then, Sakura did the last thing he'd expected and started removing her spats, causing him to sputter incoherently. Her tool pouch and kunai holster were also gone before he even realized, tossed aside like rubbish, before she turned in his grasp and wrapped her arms and legs around him, giving Naruto a pleading look.

"P-please let me make it up to you," she begged. Then, before Naruto could actually say anything, she clumsily mashed her lips against his, making him go utterly still. Clearly, this was her first kiss… and that realization caused something to snap within Naruto. (9)

As it turned out, the crush he had on Sakura had never actually gone away; it just got buried under the feelings he had towards Kemba-chan, Glissa-chan, and all the other girls he's slept with, from Ferrel all the way on up to Kishu.

To make matters worse, Kurako's little stunt had inadvertently fanned those dying flames. So, when Sakura's lips locked with his, Naruto's brain shut down, allowing for his dick to take the helm... and when it did, he came down onto her with a vengeance.

Sakura mewled pathetically when she felt him return the kiss with a fire she didn't even know a man could have in him. His tongue forced its way into her mouth, gleefully exploring the orifice, while his hands pawed at her small chest. Given her age and genetics, she didn't have much of a bosom to put it lightly, but Naruto didn't mind at all as he quickly found her nipples under the fabric and started rubbing them enticingly.

Then, one hand reached down beneath her dress and started rubbing her groin. Naruto growled hungrily, realizing that she'd removed her panties and her spats before kissing him… and she was already dripping wet.

His hand withdrew from her loins and before she knew what was going on, Sakrua's eyes went wide upon feeling something big rubbing against her vulva. Then, it poked into her folds and his hands went to her hips. Sakura let loose a guttural, broken moan at the feel of him slowly sinking into her. Nine times… nine motherfucking times he stopped to let her adjust to his sheer size as he sank into her inch by bitch-breaking inch, until finally, his massive balls pressed against her as he bottomed out.

Sakura pulled back from their liplock and stared at him in complete and utter shock. She wanted to kick herself so badly right now… no wonder Hinata wanted him! Then, she kissed him again with twice the fire from before and Naruto gladly returned it, slowly pulling down the zipper of her dress and exposing her even more. Once the garment was completely open, lying flat on the ground beneath her, he pushed up the sports bra she'd been wearing underneath and fondled her chest directly, before starting to move.

His pace was slow and steady at first, letting the pinkette get used to having a dick inside her for the first time, but eventually, he started picking it up. Sakura started clinging onto him for dear life when he did, a deep, primal bliss like nothing she'd ever felt before washing over her, and soon enough, Naruto was pounding her into the ground, his arms now wrapped around her and holding the pinkette in a full-on mating press.

Neither of them was going to escape this romp until the both of them were done and they were fine with that.

Neither Naruto nor Sakura had any idea how badly they both needed that until they were done. The latter leaned against her teammate while she and the blond returned to Training Ground Seven, still struggling to walk despite the healing spells.

"Sorry if I went too far," Naruto told her sheepishly. "I honestly have no idea what came over me." He felt so guilty for enjoying that as much as he had… though the blond knew better than to actually say it.

"It's fine," Sakura muttered shyly. The pinkette was so relieved, more so than she had ever thought possible, but damn was Sakura flustered as all hell from what they did! "Y-you have nothing to worry about, Naruto-kun…"

The blond felt a smile tug at his lips when he heard her call him that. "If you say so, Sakura-chan."

Eventually, the two of them and Naruto's guards emerged from the treeline and returned to see Sasuke still doing his own thing while the clones were also hard at work as if they had never left.

"Have fun?" Kakashi asked dryly, startling the absolute hell out of both of his returning students. He was casually leaning against a tree, just outside of their peripherals, reading his naughty, little orange book.

"Oh," Naruto chirped, recovering quickly. "Back already, Sensei?" Of course, the blond had noticed his sensei leave to get a mission, but he hadn't expected the man to return so—

"I came back three hours ago," Kakashi pointed out. "Had to let someone else take the mission." He probably should have intervened, but the two of them clearly needed that… outlet. He could tell.

Naruto and Sakura, meanwhile, just… stared at him. There was a long, awkward silence as it became clear that the two of them had been going at it for a hell of a lot longer than they had realized.

Though it did explain why the cleanup was so challenging…

Sakura blushed so hard that a cloud of steam rose from her head. It was like Naruto poured a damn gallon of cum inside of her… It… it was a safe day, right? She hadn't been keeping track.

Then again...

The pinkette sighed, and gave Naruto a timid, sidelong glance. Well, if she did get pregnant from all of that, then it served her right…

Speaking of serving someone right, a certain someone in Taj Nar let an evil grin spread across her face as she poured over the blueprints of her next creation. Occua was quite pleased with what she saw. Yes, this would do as a final draft…

A clockwork golem of frightening ingenuity and naughty intent whom she affectionately named Demi. Of course, she couldn't step on the toes of the Vulshok and their business, and thus she had to give her creation more functions and pass it off as a combat golem rather than what it really is... (10)

Revenge for… Uh… On second thought, "revenge" was too harsh a word… Payback? Yes… This was payback knocking her into a two-day coma!

She was an artificially-intelligent sex golem that utilized aphrodesiac perfumes to get her victims riled up. She was also very good at oral sex and could please men or women… in case she needed to scratch the itch herself.

This clockwork masterpiece also came equipped with some nice weapons, just in case they were needed—most notably retractable blades and a flamethrower. She was to be a relatively lightweight and nimble thing, as well, with superhuman strength and speed to boot.

In short, Demi was to be her greatest creation.

Occua giggled to herself… it soon developed into a little chuckle and then a full-blown laugh before devolving into a maniacal cackle that sent shivers down many a nearby spine. Oh, she was going to enjoy returning that favor~!

Naruto sneezed, startling the hell out of poor Sakura. She was simply not at all prepared for the sudden noise and nearly jumped out of her skin as a result.

The pinkette looked at him questioningly. "Allergies?"

"Dunno," Naruto replied with a shrug.

The two of them were working together on another D-Rank. The "mission" in question was another gardening assignment, so it is entirely possible that the pollen was just getting to him. While they carried on with planting a new bed of flowers, Sasuke was watering some nearby bushes with his perpetual scowl more pronounced than usual from sheer boredom.

"So how's things in Taj Nar?" Sakura asked in the hopes of striking up a conversation while transplanting another flower in the row.

Naruto shrugged. "It's a hell of a lot better than where I was living," he admitted. With a grunt, he pulled out a nearby weed. "That apartment complex was nice and all, but kinda lonely, because I was the only one living there."

"I hear it's really hot," she commented.

"It sure as hell can be," Naruto admitted with a soft chuckle. "Especially around noon. Doesn't get much cooler at nighttime, either, but I've gotten used to it."

"So when you have free time, do you do more training?" He seemed like the type, now that she thought about it. What little Sakura knew about him made the blond come off as the kind who lives fast and dies young, not wasting a second of his life if it can be avoided.

"Actually, yes," Naruto said with enthusiasm, "Glissa-chan's been teaching me some things when she can. It's not often because she is the ambassador, but she does what she can when she can."

Sakura perked up at that, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "Oh? What does she teach you?" She wasn't all that familiar with the different clans in Taj Nar so getting to know their culture a little more was of interest to her. Even Sasuke was paying attention now… though given how determined he was in wanting to obtain power to kill him, that wasn't a good thing.

Naruto couldn't outright say his second wife was trying to unlock a power that would make him nigh immortal; they would think he'd pulling their leg at best, and utterly insane at worst, so he instead shrugged. "...I can't really say, mainly because it's a clan secret… and if I were to tell you..."

"Then we'd have to take you in," Shandris chimed, knowing that Naruto was about to talk himself into a corner. "We can't have outsiders know our techniques. No offense."

"Uh… None taken," Sakura replied with a shrug. She was more than smart enough to understand the importance of keeping some things under wraps, especially as a ninja.

So was Sasuke, which is precisely why he didn't arrogantly demand to know their techniques like he was the gods' gift upon the earth, or some shit. Instead, the Uchiha just let out a dismissive scoff and went back to work. If the discussion wasn't about any techniques he could potentially learn then it wasn't interesting. (11)

With that, the three of them shifted back into a comfortable silence. The pinkette in particular listening intently to Naruto's advice when he gave it, much to his and their instructor's delight.

Later that day, a very tired but satisfied Naruto was enthusiastically greeted by Kemba, who scooped him up into a warm embrace as she came to pick him up from work. This time, however, she noticed that her man was covered in a certain, fruity scent.

She turned to Sakura and noticed the girl was humming a cheerful tune while packing her things… and absolutely reeking of semen spent.

The pinkette turned to her blond teammate and smiled. "Have a good day, Naruto-kun," she said, then, she turned and started to walk away with a spring in her step.

"Well, then..." a flabbergasted feline commented, "if I knew the bitch just needed to get laid..."

The "bitch" in question stopped dead in her tracks and both she and Naruto turned bright red at that. There was also many a snicker from Naruto's bodyguards at his and Sakura's collective expense.

"Oh, be nice," Naruto grunted, trying and failing to hide his own amusement.

Kemba rolled her eyes at that with a scoff. "On the bright side," she continued, "that's one less person I need to worry about; I'm glad you two are finally getting along if nothing else."

Sakura took a deep, calming breath, forcing her blush back down… but, before she could continue on her way, one of Naruto's guards decided to chime in.

"So, I take it that he has your blessing to keep making Pinkie his bitch, then?"

The poor pinkette turned a deep crimson from the collar of her dress to the roots of her hair upon hearing that.

"If they continue to get along, then yes," Kemba replied with an indifferent shrug before going back to hugging her hubby and enjoying his warmth.

Sakura cleared her throat and forced herself to get the fuck out of there before she died of embarrassment. Thankfully, no one else spoke up until after she left, much to the pinkette's immeasurable relief. (12)

Over the next two days days, Naruto and Sakura would only continue to get along. Much to his guilty pleasure, the pinkette was also more than happy to pull her whisker-marked teammate aside to… relieve him whenever she noticed that he needed it.

She also stopped wearing anything under the dress and spats… and started wearing this very nice perfume that never failed to get him in the mood when they were alone.

To think she could be so… naughty and aggressive.

"Seriously, five times?" Kemba asked, both surprised and… slightly jealous as they started heading to Training Ground Seven, hand-in-hand as they always had.

"Nine if you include the blowjobs," Naruto muttered, blushing up a storm.

"The fact that you have enough in you to please me and Glissa at the end of the day is both impressive and terrifying," his feline wife commented. On the upside, though, her hubby's new "bitch" was bound to keep him from sticking his dick into the wrong woman… while he was on duty, at least. The last thing they needed was to have another "Glissa" incident because he failed keep it in his pants around a client's daughter or some shit.

"Can't help but feel a little guilty, though," Naruto admitted. "It's partially my fault that she's like this, now."

"What's done is done," Kemba told him, lovingly gripping her hubby's hand. "You had no control over how she reacted to your attention being diverted. Don't beat yourself up over it."

"I suppose," Naruto replied with a heavy sigh. "I just… wanna do something that'll make it up to her."

"There's always taking her out on a date," his wife suggested. "Tell her that she's been a 'good bitch' and that you want to reward her for it." She shrugged. "There's your excuse."

"I would feel so… dirty saying that," the blond complained, giving her a childish pout. Her only reply was another helpless shrug and Naruto sighed heavily before relenting. "I'll see what I can do, though. The team does have tomorrow off, after all."

Kemba shrugged for the third time. "It's up to you."

Naruto sighed and scratched his feline wife under the chin, making her purr delightedly. "I probably will, actually," he said after a moment of thought. "I'm just kinda getting used to it, y'know? She's really enthusiastic about treating me like I'm her master or something and calling herself my little bitch. It makes me feel kinda awkward, but I... can't help but find it really hot for some reason."

"Really? Well, then," Kemba teased. "I guess I'll add that to your list of fetishes~!"

His and Kemba's guards giggled at that, looking rather amused when Naruto started trying to sputter a denial.

The leonin heiress let out a hearty chuckle and gave him a parting kiss, seeing that they had arrived at the training ground. "Be safe and have a good one," she told him.

"...I will," he muttered, his cheeks still bright red, "and you too!"

Then, the young couple went their separate ways as Naruto joined back up with his teammates for the day.

DMS Notes and Trivia:

1: It's easy to picture her being taken aback by that; I dunno, despite his awesome power, I can't help but imagine Kurama getting little in the realm of legitimate respect in canon... specifically in the modern day.

2: Ashara is named after Queen Azshara from World of Warcraft, but also partially inspired by Ashara Zavros from Star Wars: the Old Republic.

3: This scene and the mental image of poor Kurako just amused me to no end. Like with Riful in Naruto's Quest and Into the Void, I simply cannot help but picture this rendition of the Kyuubi to be a haughty loli who thinks she's hot shit until she actually experienced the touch of an experienced man... with her ego never quite recovering. I don't quite know why I love that thought so much, but I do. XD

Also, poor Kemba... she's going to be so abused in this fanfic, lol.

4: I really like the mental image of Hinata wearing this. I wanna see someone draw it, now, lol.

5: That was one of my favorite lines to write in this fanfic... mostly because I can relate. XD

6: Yeah, the ladies of the Inuzuka Clan are gonna be totally doing that in my other projects, lol. There is simply no way I could resist.

7: I'm sorry, but it is so easy to picture her wanting that. XD

8: I feel like seeing Naruto get so lucky with the ladies while Sasuke-kun would only further disillusion Sakura.

9: Weird as it sounds, this... kinda makes sense? Being an adolescent ball of emotion at the moment, it's pretty understandable for her brain to be just a teensy bit ass-backwards, lol.

The execution probably needs a bit of work, but this was the best that Spy and I could manage.

In any case, I for one had a lotta fun writing Sakura's character arc in this as it was quite the informative experience. I'll definitely be applying the lessons learned in future projects.

10: Any Subverse fans up in here...? =3

11: A little jab at fanfics where Sasuke is basically reduced to this... wonky caricature of a nobleman's brat, courtesy of Spyash2, lol. I mean, Idon't like Sasuke either, but I most certainly agree that the way he's depicted in those fanfics is a bit much.

12: Not gonna lie, this scene was a guilty pleasure of mine. XD

It's inspired by The Nanny of all things. If you're familiar enough with that sitcom, you probably know what I'm referring to, lol.

Parting Notes: And that's another chapter done. =3 Hope y'all enjoyed!

The next two updates to this and Vulpine Overlord are scheduled to be posed on the 5th and 19th of next month.

Have a good one, eh? =3
