Chapter 10
On with the story

On this day Naruto stood in the middle of his normal clearing overseeing a sparring session between Hinata and Sasuke. The two were in the middle of the clearing exchanging blows at a rapid pace. Hinata, despite being one of the most knowledgeable in class, still was far behind Sasuke when it came to actual combat. And especially now since he trained so much harder than her. But Naruto had plans to even the odds.

Hinata let out a sharp shriek as her body hit the ground, she braced herself and lay on her side panting heavily. Sasuke stood above her with his arms crossed, an audible scoff heard from him. The raven-haired boy then glanced over to Naruto.

"This isn't really fair. She still isn't at my level. Especially since you won't let her use her Hyuuga gentle fist strikes." Sasuke said in annoyance. Hinata had her Byakugan flared, the girl getting up slowly to regain her fighting stance, facing one palm towards Sasuke.

Naruto was off to the side adorning his norma robe, his hands tucked into his sleeves in front of his body. The boy just had a soft smile across his face before walking towards them. When seeing Naruto approaching Hinata nearly panicked.

"I can take it Naruto-kun. I know that this is to train my endurance and speed, and I'm not ready to practice with my chakra yet." Hinata blurted out while looking to Naruto with a concerned expression. She didn't want to dissapoint him. When hearing her words Naruto sent the girl a gentle smile.

"Oh you are doing wonderfully Hinata-chan. I've just decided to take the training to another level for both of you." Naruto explained while stopping in front of Hinata and moving a soft hand forward to gently caress her cheek. Hinata's body relaxed under that touch, the girl standing up from her fighting position. Sasuke quirked a brow at Naruto's words.

"To the next level?" Sasuke asked in interest. By this time Hinata and Sasuke had been training with Naruto for about 2 weeks. He hadn't even taught them any new jutsu, mostly just making them run exercises and spar while listening to his lectures on various advanced topics. Naruto turned his head to glance over to Sasuke.

"I think it's time. I have a pretty decent sense now of what you both are ready for." Naruto said before walking over to Sasuke with that usual sway. By now Sasuke had gotten used to Naruto's personality, having spent so much time around him. But he still couldn't help gazing away when ever Naruto looked towards him so intensely. Sasuke just kept his arms crossed.

"So what's next then? I don't feel much stronger since being trained by you." Sasuke stated in a dissapointment. "I already do most of these exercises on my own."

"Oh these excersizes were mostly for me to get an accurate read of your strength. Now that I know your limits, the real training begins now." Naruto said while reaching two fingers forward and pressing them against Sasuke's forehead. Sasuke stared at Naruto's fingers with an apprehensive gaze.

"What are you…" But before he could finish his sentence Sasuke felt a huge weight suddenly hit his body. Instantly he dropped down to one knee, the boy gritting his teeth. Hinata let out a gasp from Sasuke's sudden apparent strain. Sasuke's entire body was shaking, barely able to look up to Naruto who still stood above him.

"What did you do to me?" Sasuke asked in a strained voice. His entire body ached. Naruto maintained that gentle smile.

"I just made everything 20 times harder. This is a special training Jutsu that I use. Of course it's modified for you. I've basically strapped weights to your muscles. But not only that, to your chakra points as well. Right now you are barely going to be able to fight. Try to get up Sasuke." Naruto instructed, which caused Sasuke to attempt to lift his body only to fall back on to one knee.

"What the hell? I can't even move." Sasuke stated in a growl while continuously trying.

"Be calm Sasuke. Stop trying to move." Naruto instructed. After a bit more struggle Sasuke nodded and relaxed his muscles, still maintaining his kneeling position. Naruto dropped down on his knees as well to be on the same level as Sasuke so they were both kneeling. Naruto didn't want to make it seem like he was forcing Sasuke to kneel before him.

"What was one of the first things I taught you when you became my student?" Naruto questioned. Sasuke looked up with a confused stare before answering.

"You taught us to run up trees." Sasuke replied back. Naruto just nodded his head happily.

"Yep. You say you don't feel stronger but you are most faster and stronger than you have ever been. You may not notice it because the change is gradual, but I have been preparing your body and your chakra for this. This training will grow with you. It's meant to strengthen your body and your chakra. It's meant to train you to use your body and your chakra in true harmony." Naruto lectured on. Sasuke still held a confused look.

"How is weighing me down supposed to help my chakra?" He barked back in an annoyed tone, still unable to move much. But Naruto was very patient and never let his smile leave his face.

"Because your chakra will help you move. Close your eyes Sasuke." Naruto instructed. Sasuke was again hesitant but did completely.

"Now think of what it was like to climb those trees, to control the chakra in your feet. Think about how the chakra moved in your body. In the same way I want you to will your body to move, and tell your chakra to help you. Disperse your chakra through your entire being, to every muscle you can think of. Think of your legs, your feet, your head, your neck, your shoulders, your arms, your heart, your lungs. Everything. Chakra is the energy of life. It is every bit as essential to life as is breathing. Is it every bit as important as your muscles. Harness it, and stand!" Naruto said in a firm manner.

Sasuke took a while, his brow furrowed in concentration. Behind them Hinata was standing a ways away, watching in fascination. Her eyes widened when she suddenly saw Sasuke stand from his kneeling position with far more ease than before.

Sasuke was releasing controlled breaths, his eyes still closed as he stood on his feet. Finally he opened his eyes see Naruto's smiling face.

"How does it feel Sasuke?" Naruto asked while reaching his hand tentatively to run the back of his fingers along Sasuke's cheek. But this time Sasuke didn't shy away from the touch. There was something different, the way he felt, he'd never felt this way before. He felt...a connection. A connection to himself that he'd never experience.

"I...can't even describe." Sasuke whispered in a disbelieving manner before letting his eyes glance down to Naruto's hand which caressed his face. It felt different. He felt...one. Sasuke actually closed his eyes and leaned into that gentle caress. From behind Hinata went wide eyed at the sight, fidgeting with her hands now. She was so confused.

"We ARE one Sasuke. It's just that most people can't see it. Even the strongest among...us." Naruto stated that last word hesitantly. By "us" he meant humans. But even now despite Sasuke's epiphany, Sasuke still only had a taste of the true oneness of life. A limitation of Sasuke's' humanity.

"Sasuke-kun, I'd like you to fight Hinata now." Naruto said while pulling his hand back and stepping to the side. Sasuke suddenly snapped his eyes opened and looked to Naruto with a disbelieving expression.

"But I can barely move." Sasuke stated in distress. Naruto just chuckled softly.

"Up until now you've just been using your chakra to move. Now use your muscles and you will find yourself even more free. And as you fight and train this way, you will gain a deeper understanding and control of your own body and chakra." Naruto stated. Upon hearing that Sasuke gritted his teeth as he forced his body into his fighting stance. He was able to move after straining his muscles. Naruto noted that strain. He would pace the training so Sasuke wouldn't pull any muscles or over due it.

Naruto then moved over to Hinata who was watching quietly by herself. The girl bowed her head when seeing Naruto approaching.

"Should...should I attack now?" Hinata asked in a tentative whisper. She'd grown stronger as well, even if she didn't notice it.

"Not yet. You're ready as well Hinata-chan. And you may actually find this easier to deal with because your chakra control is superior to Sasuke's." Naruto explained in that soothing, sultry voice of his while placing two fingers against Hinata's forehead. The girl waited patiently before going wide and shrieking as she fell on both fours, the weight of her body dragging her down.

Hinata didn't take as long as Sasuke did to adjust, closing her eyes and controlling her breathing as she shakily stood up on two feet. Sasuke watched in amazement at how fast Hinata adapted, gritting his teeth in frustration, the boy gaining even more determination.

When Hinata finally opened her eyes, she also was met with the smiling face of Naruto. But before Naruto could ask how she felt the girl leaped forward and wrapped her arms around Naruto's neck, embracing him in a warm hug. Naruto quickly wrapped his arms around her waist, having no problem dealing with how heavy her body was at the moment.

"Naruto-kun...it's so beautiful. Thank you." The girl whispered in a tender tone before pulling her head away and suddenly pressing her lips against Naruto's to the surprise of everyone, including Naruto!

About a half mile away, across from the stream where Naruto's clearing was, Midnight and Kyuubi were sparing in their demonic forms. There was a powerful genjutsu around the area that concealed their positions. Kyuubi used her summoned form to train Midnight. They were standing opposite each other, palms outstretched towards each other as a swirl of dark red chakra swirled between them. It was a battle of chakra and will that was extremely intense for Midnight since she had to compete with Kyuubi. The training greatly enhanced the power of Midnight's chakra. And since demons were much more in tune with their chakra than humans, they gained more from chakra training.

But both of them snapped out of their intense stare down when Hinata kissed at Naruto's lips, both being able to see the activity with their enhanced vision.

"Well well well…" Kyuubi stood up straight, taking a sultry posture while watching the activities with an amused gaze. Midnight stood up as well, moving to Kyuubi's side and canting her head to the side.

"She's eager." Midnight stated in an amused tone. Kyuubi looked down to Midnight with a raised brow.

"Do you think Naruto will kiss her back." Kyuubi asked in interest, watching Midnight's reaction carefully. Midnight simply tapped a single finger against her lip in thought before shaking her head.

"I don't think Naru-kun is ready for that yet. But I suppose will see." Midnight stated matter of factly. Kyuubi moved behind Midnight and wrapped her arms around the small demoness' waist, leaning down to nuzzle her cheek into Midnight's.

"Let's watch." Kyuubi cooed.

Naruto looked down at Hinata with a wide gaze, that kiss lingering for a time. He still maintained his hold on her, not pulling back until she did. Hinata was frozen, not really expecting for her body to do that.

"Oh my god I'm kissing Naruto-kun! And he isn't pulling away. Should I? What do I do now?" Hinata thought to herself before finally the strain of her muscles and chakra got the best of her. She fell away from his embrace and bowed her head, bunching her hands up against her own chest.

"S-sorry." The girl whispered sheepishly. Naruto watched her carefully with his head cocked to the side, smirking in an amused fashion. Naruto then stepped forward and bent down a bit, placing a tender kiss against her forehead.

"Nothing to apologize for Hinata-chan. You can do that anytime." Naruto spoke in a reassuring manner, before nuzzling his nose against hers in a little eskimo kiss after pulling his luscious lips from her forehead. By now Hinata's face was burned bright red. She just nodded her head in a dumbfounded way.

"O-ok." She whispered with a satisfied little smile on her face. Naruto chuckled at her before stepping away and looking over to Sasuke who just watched the scene with mixed feelings. The connection he currently had to his chakra was suppressing how embarrassed he'd normally feel. So he just watched without looking away, snapping only back to attention when Naruto called out.

"Are you two ready?" Naruto called out while looking from Sasuke to Hinata. They both again realized that they were supposed to be sparring before nodding their heads in a dumbfounded way. Naruto raised a hand in front of his mouth while releasing another sultry bit of laughter, his long sleeve still dangling past his fingers, the fabric being too long.

"Then you can start when you are ready. Don't be afraid to take your time, the point of this is more to excises with your new restrictions rather than try to win. We'll be training this way a few hours a day from here on." Naruto instructed while looking to them expectantly.

Hinata and Sasuke both nodded before walking towards each other with intense strain. Naruto cocked his head to the side and watched with interest as the two seemed to spar in slow motion.

From across that stream Kyuubi and Midnight still cuddled together in their standing position as Hinata and Sasuke went back to training under Naruto.

"Hm…" Kyuubi thought out loud. Midnight let her gaze linger on the training for a while before turning around in Kyuubi's arms, the girl lifting her own arms up to wrap around Kyuubi's neck. The two demons were in their humanoid forms as normal. Kyuubi still towered over the smaller Midnight, being about 6 feet tall. Midnight, still growing, was about 5 feet tall. Kyuubi wore a red kimono today. The fabric hugged around her ample hips. Wrapped around her waist was an Obi which was wrapped in a very large bow. Similar to Naruto, Kyuubi's body appeared to be gift wrapped.

Kyuubi, who was very in tune with her sexuality, had no problem with wearing revealing clothing so the top part of that kimono was open enough to reveal a good deal of Kyuubi's cleavage, the motherly figure being generously gifted in that fashion.

But Midnight wore clothing much more modest, still wearing those tights black cargo pants, fishnet top with her sports bra visible underneath the thin fabric of the fishnet top. Being full demons, the two engaged in their standard ritual again. Kyuubi had no problem moving both her clawed hands underneath Midnight's rump and lifting her up. Midnight didn't miss a beat, wrapping her legs around Kyuubi's waist. Within seconds Kyuubi had Midnight pinned up against a tree, the two demons staring hungrily into each other's eyes.

"Well he did give her a kiss on the forehead." Kyuubi commented matter of factly, continuing their previous conversation. At the same time Kyuubi placed a sensual lick along the inside of Midnight's furry ear. That touch caused a small shiver to trail up the black-furred demon girl's spine.

"But he kisses everyone that way. Including you and me. It's like I thought. He isn't ready. He's really quiet the late bloomer. Even Hinata is ready." Midnight commented while trailing her fingers up the side of Kyuubi's head to entangle her digits within the long silky strands of the taller woman's red hair. Both their hair was ass length, styled in the same way. Most of their hair fluttered in the breeze, just hanging loosely, but also some of it was braided into a crown around their heads.

"I suppose it will just take time. When he's truly ready he'll make it pretty clear." Kyuubi whispered in a husky voice while biting firmly into the tip of Midnight's ear, the red furred demon fox woman releasing a lustful growl. By now Midnight had her eyes closed, shivering as Kyuubi began to grind her hips sensually against Midnight's pelvis.

"The anticipation is killing me." Midnight cooed in a dreamy fashion. Kyuubi let out a sultry chuckle at that admission.

"Me too."

That's the end of this chapter. Please review

 I think there is a bit of confusion about Midnight and Kyuubi's relationship. They are demons. And demons in my stories are very sexual. So they aren't "together." They are just doing what demons do. I guess the confusion is my fault for not explaining it well in the actual story. Well...sorry! I'm sure I'll get to explaining more about demon culture in my story eventually. But I like to keep things moving slow so I can add good detail. I don't want to speed past anything.
