A cheerful whistle was on Naruto's lips as he walked towards the Hokage Tower, the place that was finally going to be his after two more weeks, pending the coronation ceremony. Not that it would change much practically, as people were already following his commands; nobody wanted to annoy the guy who was about to become their supreme commander in a few days.

And of course, there was the sudden shift of balance between Tsunade and him to consider, something that no one was aware of. Well, with the notable exception of his pink haired teammate, which also happened to be Tsunade's apprentice.

As he walked, his mind shifted back to the last night's encounter with Sakura, something that developed marked different than the way he initially envisioned. Contrary to what most people thought, he hadn't been crushing on her except for a brief period in his childhood, but he chose to act that way, because it helped him to maintain his idiot cover. And since that cover was a thing of the past, he wasn't planning on pushing things forward.

Then she caught him having sex with her teacher.

It was lucky that Sakura was both slow to act and easy to read, which allowed him to realize the threat before it materialized. If she went and talked to Hinata, or god forbid, Hiashi, she would have ruined everything he had been working on for the last decade. Not only losing Hyuuga clan would have cost him a big chunk of his political capital, but with the new shape of the relationship between him and Tsunade out in the open, her decision to pass the hat to him would be in suspect, leading to a political mess.

Thankfully, his strategy to prevent the leak worked even better than he could have hoped. His initial aim was to show Sakura how happy Hinata was with him, therefore preventing her from saying anything to protect Hinata's happiness. And he couldn't prevent himself from escalating a bit, which Hinata allowed with very little resistance because she was still jealous of Sakura, afraid that she might change her mind and steal Naruto.

But Sakura's jealousy had been a nice surprise. It didn't take long for Naruto to catch Sakura's sexual frustration, which was enhanced further by the early stages of her pregnancy. Frustration that was destined to stay unmet for a long while with her husband gallivanting across the wilderness to atone for his sins. Of course, Naruto was a good friend, and took himself the responsibility to assist her about those frustrations, a decision that had paid incredible dividends…

With his mind filled with the various pictures of a pink-haired beauty, his walk to the Tower passed quickly, and he found himself near the entrance. But he didn't pass through, not wanting to subject himself for the mass of people clamoring for his attention about paperwork, which would cost quite a bit of time even if he tried to hurry up. As usual, the window was the superior option.

A three-story jump was enough to clear the distance, which was an easy achievement with a bit of chakra boost. Normally, the security seals of the Tower would have fried him, but he added an exception for his own chakra signature, something Tsunade had tacitly approved, mostly because him dropping down unannounced had given her an excuse to ditch the work. But after the latest development in their relationship, he doubted that she would be just as glad.

"Baa-chan, Shizune-chan," he said as he perched on the edge, amused by the way Tsunade flinched at hearing his voice, while Shizune just waved at him. He was glad to see that Tsunade yet to p

"Naruto," Shizune said cheerfully. "It's so nice for you to drop by. Please help me to convince Shishou that she cannot just dump all of her paperwork to me or you. It's still her responsibility until the coronation, and she should be the one to finish them."

Naruto glanced at Tsunade's way as Shizune spoke, amused by the way her eyes slid away. She didn't blush, but Naruto wasn't sure whether she managed to control her response, or it was her modified henge that managed to keep her blush hidden. "Actually, Shizune, I don't think that will be possible."

"What? Why?" Shizune asked, not expecting a push back from him.

"Didn't Baa-chan tell you?" he said, not bothering to hide his mirth.

"Tell her what, brat!" Tsunade said angrily, though Naruto was familiar with her tone enough to catch that her anger was not sincere. Instead, she was relying on a familiar pattern of behavior to hide how out-of-balance she was feeling.

"Your old age must be getting to you, Baa-chan," he said, then dodged the paperweight that was flying towards his head, fast enough to kill someone without chakra enhancement. "Did you forget to tell Shizune that we are going for a two-day mission, where you're going to teach me about the secrets that are only for Hokage's knowledge. The knowledge that is too dangerous to be spoken even in this tower."

It was good that Shizune was looking towards him, because Tsunade's shocked expression would have been enough to ruin his bluff. "Of course she didn't," Shizune said with a sigh. "Does it mean I need to do your paperwork as well as Shishou's," she asked exasperatedly.

"You're the best, Shizune-chan," he said as he walked towards her, and before she could reply, pecked her on the cheek.

"Na-Naruto," she stuttered, shocked by the sudden intimacy, but before she could say anything else, his fingers were around Tsunade's wrist.

"See you later, Shizune-chan," he said cheekily, and used Hiraishin to teleport away. The moment his feet touched his new destination, he was already dodging. He had both surprised and embarrassed Tsunade in the last minute, and she reacted that rather predictably. Her fist missed him by an inch, connecting to forest soil instead. A plume of dust rose up, obscuring the humongous crack that had appeared on the floor.

"Stand still and take your punishment, brat!" she exclaimed as she swung her fist once more, which Naruto dodged successfully once more. But this time, instead of stepping away, he stepped closer, enough for their noses to brush against each other. Not expecting the sudden closeness, Tsunade froze, and Naruto used the opportunity to brush his fingers on her arm, dispelling her henge.

She opened her mouth in protest, but he decided that her lips had a better usage than muttering about useless facts. He captured her lips in a heated kiss. She had frozen even before his tongue slid inside her mouth, exploring its confines, enough to get a fresh taste of Sake from her mouth.

She tried to moan in protest, her hands trying to reach for his shoulders, but it wasn't her usual deadly punch. No, it was a fledging reach instead, lacking her legendary strength, easy for him to prevent by grabbing her wrists. It temporarily prevented him from squeezing her amazing breasts, but that was a small sacrifice. He forced her to take a step behind, and she found herself pressed trapped between a tree and his body. His chest pressed against her massive breasts, tight enough to feel her quickening heartbeat.

He lingered in for almost a minute, but when he pulled back, it was as sudden as the kiss itself, leaving Tsunade to stumble unbalanced. "Are you ready, Tsu-chan?" he said with a smirk.

"Ready for what?" she asked as she tried to gather her breath, still trying to process what had just happened. "You have two seconds to explain before I turn you into fine paste, brat," she continued as she established a semblance of control over her emotions.

"Look at that side," Naruto gestured, and Tsunade was silenced the moment her eyes met with the structure he was pointing.

"Is this the Tanzaku Palace," she asked in shock.

"Yes," Naruto answered glibly. "Tanzaku Palace, the most exclusive casino in the Earth Nation, built over the best hot spring in their lands. It's the most exclusive holiday location on five nations, and expensive enough that only the richest people could ever gain admittance."

"You know that they famously don't allow ninja's inside right," Tsunade explained with a bitter tone, suggesting that she had unsuccessfully tried to enter. "They even have a perimeter guard with chakra sensors to make sure no one slips inside. They are good enough to distinguish even if you don't use any chakra."

"That would be a problem," he said with a smirk. "If I hadn't prepared seals strong enough to block their sensory abilities as long as we don't use any chakra," Naruto countered, smirking in satisfaction.

"Really," Tsunade exclaimed, her face alight with a bright expression that could be construed as childish amusement. "We can actually go there." Then, she stopped, her expression shifting to desperation once more. "But even that wouldn't work, we're too well known."

"That's where the disguises come in," he said as he unsealed a scroll, and revealing two small suitcases filled with clothes, and a third filled with make-up. "Without your illusion, some makeup, a dash of hair coloring, and maybe a change of cloth, and no one would ever recognize you."

"It won't work," Tsunade murmured reluctantly, but Naruto could sense that the conviction behind it was weak, begging for him to prove her wrong.

Naruto couldn't help but smile at that moment. For all of her stern and strong reputation, Tsunade was a woman that was ruled by her vices. Thankfully, her reputation managed to keep the lechers away from her. That was, until he learned her secrets of course. "Trust me," he said as he pulled an easily-applied hair dye. Then, he flexed a chakra, and the soil rose until it created an approximation of a chair where Tsunade could sit. "Take a seat, and leave yourself to my hands."

For a moment, Tsunade looked undecided, like she was trying to listen to the voice on the back of her head, warning her about the dangers, such as how it ended the last time she made the mistake of trusting her. But then, her eyes slid towards the huge complex that was winking at her temptingly, followed by a reluctant nod. Big mistake, but one Naruto had no problems abusing. "Good choice," he said as he stood behind her. He used his chakra to coat his fingers to prevent staining, then squeezed a generous dash of hair dye on his fingers. "Now, close your eyes and lean back," he ordered. "You don't want this in your eyes."

She nodded before closing her eyes, leaving him free to peer into her amazing cleavage. Her tunic wasn't very revealing under the normal conditions, but he was looking over her shoulder, which gave him a delicious view into her amazing breasts, enough to show her choice of bra. This time it was an ugly piece, much more substantive than the one she was wearing during their heated encounter, but Naruto shrugged it away. After all, he bought extra clothes for her for that particular reason.

His fingers slid through her silky hair, coating them with the hair dye, and transforming her golden hair into a black darker than the midnight. But he didn't pull his hands back when he finished, instead, he reached for her scalp, and started massaging her. She suppressed a moan, but its soft echo reached to his ears. The chakra that was coating his fingers was useful for more than just a touch of other elements, it also amplified her enjoyment from the massage.

He waited until another moan to pull back. "And that's all for the hair," he said as he took a step back, using his chakra to burn the remaining dye on his fingers. She turned to look at him, the disappointment shining from her eyes. "Now, remove your tunic and lay on your face."

"W-what!" she stammered, her panicked expression fitting perfectly to her youthful face. "Why?"

"So that I can apply the chakra-blocking seal, of course," he explained.

"I see… But removing the tunic?" she said, trying to bargain.

"I"m afraid that's impossible," he explained. "It's a complicated seal that needs a large area. That's the only option if you want to see the legendary hot springs of Tanzaku Palace. Take it or leave it."

She didn't say anything, nor that she needed to with her fingers reaching for the buttons of her tunic. She was reluctant still, but he had seen a lot more than her naked back, so she didn't require anymore prodding to reach for the buttons of her tunic. She turned back as she unbuttoned her top while Naruto used his chakra to turn her seat into a rough bed. She glanced at it dubiously, but her fingers didn't accept any delay in their task. Soon, she was lying her tunic on the rock bed, trying to put a layer between her tits and the cold stone.

"Don't forget to remove your pants as well," he added just as she was about to lay on the bed.

"What, why!" she replied, almost shouting.

"I need to plant some seals on your legs as well to make sure they detect nothing," he explained. Her blush intensified even further as she turned towards him for a glance, but both of her arms were around her chest, which, combined with her ugly bra, managed to cover her chest completely. He smiled, trying to hide his hunger.

She sighed before turning her back once more, and slid out of her pants, revealing her panties, even uglier than her bra. "With underwear like this, you really deserve to be called Baa-chan," he said, patting her buttocks patronizingly. She turned towards him once more, but this time, anger was the dominant expression on her face. Her arms were on the side as she squeezed her fist, her bra straining as she took a deep breath. Naruto said nothing, just letting his gaze to fall on her chest.

His hungry gaze proved enough to remind her of the situation. The blush crept on her face as she turned her back almost instantly, her arms wrapped around her body defensively. Reluctantly, she lay on the stone bed he prepared, with her tunic as the only barrier between her body and cold surface. "You don't seem comfortable," he asked even as he placed his hand on the stone, warming it with his chakra. An extremely wasteful method that would leave an average jounin on the edge of exhaustion, but Naruto had the chakra to spare. "Better?" he asked.

She grunted in approval as she shuffled in place, trying to ignore her semi-nakedness. Such a paradox, he thought with amusement -and not for the first time- as he placed his hand on her shoulder, gently brushing off to get rid of an errant piece of hair. She was one of the strongest women in the world, with thousands of superpowered soldiers under her direct command, and mighty enough to crack a mountain by her fists if she put her mind to it. But here she was, lying half-naked and vulnerable, trembling under his touch…

"Brace yourself, Tsu-chan," he said as he pushed chakra out of his finger. "This is going to feel weird." He waited until she took a deep breath, then allowed his finger to dance over her right shoulder, creating a complicated seal pattern.

She hissed in shock. "What was that," she said as she tried to stand up, but Naruto put his hand on her shoulder, preventing her from rising up.

"That's the sensation of a part of your chakra getting locked into your body," he explained. He was about to continue explaining, but then the seal started to shine, which meant Tsunade was trying to break the seal reflexively. He needed to stop her, and he had just the way of doing that. "Stop flexing your chakra!" he ordered sharply as he slapped her voluptuous ass.

"Hey," Tsunade cried in protest, and gave a stronger attempt to stand up, but his hand on her shoulder was more than enough to prevent her.

"Stay still, and don't try to use your chakra. The seal is quite fragile, and you'll ruin it, he explained as he put his finger on her left shoulder, about to put a symmetrical pattern on there.

"I won't be able to use any chakra?" she asked, aghast.

"Not until we leave the Palace," he explained as he started scribing the seal. "After leaving, you would only need to flex your chakra to break through it. Even in its completed stage, it's pretty weak." Unfortunately, it was even true, Naruto lamented. He couldn't help but wonder just how amusing it would be to have sealed Tsunade under his command, forced to follow even his pettiest wishes, but unfortunately, that wasn't viable. Tsunade was not just a sexy piece of ass, but also his strongest political supporter, and he had no intention of ruining it for a bit of extra fun. Especially since the alternative was pretty entertaining as well, he noted as he examined the beautiful body that was squirming under his touch.

"What are you doing!" Tsunade exclaimed once more when his finger was tracing down her spine, only to rip through the hook of her bra when it tried to cut its path.

"The seal on your back is one connected piece, Tsu-chan," he explained, even as he used his free hand to push the straps away, putting her beautiful back on display. "I can't do that with that ugly piece of cloth cutting my way."

"I guess," Tsunade murmured, her attention stolen away by her bra sliding down without the support of its straps. She tried to reach for her bra to fix it, but Naruto dissuaded her from it by another spank.

"Don't move, you'll ruin the seal," he ordered as he studiously continued to draw the main seal on her back. Her arms fell to the side once more, and he decided to leverage the opportunity. He used his free hand to caress her breast, which was spilling generously from the side without the support from her bra. She shivered as his fingers danced on the generous expanse of her breasts, but chose to say nothing.

Soon, he finished the seal on her back, and moved on her legs. "How much longer is it going to take," she asked, but the way her voice trembled clued him that there was an ulterior motive for her question. She was aroused, but didn't want to yield into her desires once more.

"Still a bit more," Naruto answered even as he intentionally slowed his grafting, adding a lot of unnecessary lines on the seal. Technically, they increased the stability of the seal, but it was nothing more than an excuse to caress her skin for a longer period of time. "And, finished," he said, but before he pulled back, he had one more trick to pull. He pulled his kunai, and two rapid slashes later, her panties were in pieces.

He pulled the pieces off before she could react. Her torso rose reflexively to prevent it, but without her weight to prevent it, it only allowed Naruto to pull away from her bra and her tunic as well. "Hey! What are you doing!" she shouted in protest, trying to reach it with one hand, the other around her breasts in a vain attempt to cover them. And her legs, crossed to hide her treasure, didn't make her job any easier.

"You don't think we can enter Tanzaku Palace with you wearing such ugly clothes, right?" he asked even as he threw them in the air, followed up with a Katon jutsu, burning them to fine ash. "I already brought you clothes that are more fitting, just wear some of them," he said.

She tried to gaze him intimidatingly, but even without the memory of her squealing under him with pleasure, it was a losing proposition. With her chakra locked away, and her body knotted awkwardly to hide her nakedness, she wasn't the most intimidating figure. He kept the eye contact, and after a resistance that lasted ten seconds, she admitted defeat. "Okay, but turn your back first," she murmured.

"Nope," Naruto answered even as he raised a stone chair for himself, and took a seat, his legs crossed comfortably, communicating to her that he had no intention of changing his position. Once again, she lasted only a few seconds before admitting defeat and stood up, giving him the full picture of her naked back as she walked towards the suitcase.

It was a good start for the holiday.
