"Tayuya, it's fine, I can take it!"
"Uh, hyeah, no you can't. Just sit your chunky butt down and relax." The redhead gently wrestled the box full of their new housemate's possessions out of the pregnant girl's arms.
Kin's mouth formed an 'o' of affront at the comment, twisting awkwardly to look while holding her swollen belly. "It's not chunky! ... Is it?" Tears suddenly rimmed her eyes. "No! I don't wanna be a fat lady! I wanna be a beautiful mom like– Lady Kushina!" she gasped, seeing the matriarch of the house with her son. "Lord Naruto! I'm still pretty, right?! I'm not fat! Tell me I'm not fat!" The blond young man, not the least prepared for the demands and questions, took far too long to answer for her liking. "I knew it! Oh gods, you're gonna have to roll me from room to room to do my chores!"
"Wait, what? Who said you're fat?! You're not fat!" Far as he could tell aside from the very obvious baby bump Kin was as rail then as she had ever been.
"She did!" Kin pointed accusingly at her friend with an angry pout.
"I was just–! I–!" Tayuya tried, having no idea how to handle this. But seeing Kin's quivering lip, any resistance she had crumbled. "I'm sorry?"
Kushina sighed, knowing what was happening from experience. She swept the girl into a one-arm hug and pulled her toward the kitchen. "Come on, sweetie, let's get you something to eat."
"Kay," Kin sniffled.
Tayuya looked from the pair to Naruto. "I thought we were past this!"
Naruto looked as bewildered as she, but as Sakura came through from carrying her stuff into her room, she took pity on them. "Hormones. Mood swings. They can come back toward the last third of a pregnancy. I wouldn't think she'd be there already. She's what, four months along?" she checked with Naruto, both him and Tayuya nodding in confirmation. "Well, Special Jonin Yakushi didn't see anything amiss and neither did I. Might just be an Uzumaki thing." She approached Tayuya, grabbed the box out of her arms. "Thank you," she said with a playful lilt as she took it and marched right back into her room.
"You're gonna do that to more girls?" Tayuya asked the head of the household with trepidation.
"That's the plan," he confirmed with similar unease.
"... I don't like that. I don't like that plan." A terrible, terrifying thought struck her. "Hey, don't put one in Lady Kushina." She watched his expression turn wistful and her blood ran cold. "Hey, hey! No! No fantasising! Kin's bad enough! I wouldn't survive a Lady Kushina with mood swings!" That at least got her master to pale slightly, but he still continued to stare dreamily into the middle distance. "At least promise if it happens I can hide in the panic room until it blows over, yeah?!"
"I'm home!" a new voice chirped as its owner threw the front door open.
"Welcome home–" Naruto and Tayuya both answered reflexively, only for Naruto to blink and grin widely on seeing who it was. "Ino!" It had only been a few days without her but that changed nothing for how glad he was to see her again. He rushed over to wrap her in a hug and kiss.
"Ooh!" Ino murmured in surprise as their lips parted, her arms around his neck. "I guess you missed me, huh?"
"Course I did! You thought I wouldn't?!" Blond lifted blonde to perform a quick spin with her in his arms. "Are you okay? Is everything okay?"
"Everything's great! I mean, I might've talked some people into letting me go a little early but everything's perfectly fine. I've got something to show you later," she finished with a wink. Looking around, she noticed the small pile of boxes sitting in the front room. "What's going on?"
"Oh, Sakura's moving in."
"She is?!" It was all the prompting Ino needed to break out of his grip and run through the house checking rooms for her friend and comrade in love, eventually finding her. Soon after, squeals of joy emerged from Sakura's new bedroom.
It brought a surprising amount of warmth to Naruto's heart. The two girls, the first two he had brought into this house from outside, he was fully aware of the feelings they had for each other as much as for him. Even if, so far as he knew, they had yet to actually express as much with words. All three of them under the same roof felt like the start of something wonderful. They had both come to an understanding of what their romantic situation was. They treated Kushina with a mild deference. They treated Kin as... Well, an acquaintance more than anything, but he wasn't expecting more than that. He wasn't naive enough to think everyone involved would get along famously.
But on that thought, both Ino and Sakura, and his mother come to think of it, they had all been supportive of Hinata joining them. As the one most likely to be brought into the house next, it was something he was glad for. He still needed to arrange that date. And then there was Tenten. A girl he wanted to get to know better. He wasn't sure himself it was for romantic reasons or simply because she was someone his age interested in sealing. It was his clan's greatest claim to fame but also close to a dying art. Someone who had a natural aptitude for it was someone he wanted to know better.
He wandered into the kitchen, saw Kin sitting happy as could be with a bowl of ice cream with... What looked very much like sliced radish topping it. Her distress from earlier already completely forgotten as she dug into her meal with relish. Relish as in eagerness but also the condiment. "She doing okay?" he asked his mother.
Kushina nodded with a nostalgic smile. "I remember eating the same thing when I was pregnant with you. Always helped turn my mood right back around for some reason." Some sadness crept into that smile. "Those were crazy times, but in a good way. I guess I kinda miss it, ya know?"
It was rash. It was so rash. It was also something he wanted perhaps more than anything. Not only for her sake, seeing that sad wistfulness in her eyes he knew she wanted it too. But for himself. He knew she was a wonderful mother. He wanted her to be a wonderful mother to his own children too, not just a grandmother. "What would I need to know?"
His mother was left utterly confused by the non-sequitur. "Huh?"
"To give that to you," he clarified, looking at Kin happily satisfying her cravings for vegetable desserts to nourish the life inside her.
He could see it on Kushina's face when he looked back at her. The desire. Desire that fought with worry and restraint. "Naruto, you know we can't. It's not safe. And the Hokage–"
"The Hokage said you couldn't repopulate our clan by yourself. He never said you aren't allowed to have kids and I'd have some things to say to him if he said anyone in my clan wasn't allowed that, ya know!" Naruto countered. "It's a safety concern. That's always how I saw it. It's not off the table, just something we need to be careful about." He took her hand, linked a couple of his fingers with hers as he smiled at her. "I want this. Whatever it takes, I'll make it happen, ya know?"
The redheaded woman stared up at her son's earnest desire. The desire to make her a mother to his own children. A desire she shared but had thought was an unrealistic wish. She choked out a wet laugh as her eyes teared up. "Well, I guess we're gonna have to move up your lessons on spirit sealing and maintenance. You're gonna regret getting a lady's hopes up if you slack off, ya know."
"I'll never let you down, ya know?" he answered with a grin and a squeeze of her hip. "That's a promise!"
He continued to think on his brief talk with Kushina as he helped Sakura move her things into her room. The implications and possibilities leaving him giddy and once again looking forward to the future. Even with what was on the horizon, he had plenty to look forward to as well.
Unsurprisingly a lot of Sakura's belongings were books. She was a very well read and intelligent girl even before she chose such a knowledge-based speciality as medical ninjutsu. On top of that, as a friend of Ino she was of course not short on clothes for just about any occasion. Her decorating tastes ran in surprisingly classy directions. Though her preferred colour scheme consisted of natural wood tones with splashes of green, red and pink to liven things up.
As he carried the last box (of books he assumed, having not looked inside) into her room, he found Ino and Sakura were chatting, sitting on her bed on top of her blanket decorated with cherry blossom patterns. They were giggling, which sometimes meant fun things for him.
"Well how does it work?" Sakura demanded of her friend and lover, her intellectual curiosity shining through.
And Ino showed just what kind of tease she could be when she wanted. "Ho? Well I don't know..." she gave her non-answer, smiling wider at Sakura's unimpressed but amused smile. "No really, I don't. The guy who did it had this long explanation but I didn't really understand a lot of the details. Anko-sensei gave me a simpler one so I know how to do it, but I just... I mean you're the medic ninja, not me. That stuff flies right over my head." Her eyes flicked Naruto's way. "But I could give you a demonstration..."
"Should I be worried?" Naruto asked, setting the box down in the corner for Sakura to sort out later.
"Come on Naruto, have I ever given you a reason to worry?" the blonde asked with innocence she did not have.
"I mean... I could probably think of some examples," he felt the need to say first, "But I know enough that whatever this is is gonna happen no matter what so might as well go with it, ya know?"
"Glad you learned who's the boss around here," she said with smug satisfaction as she approached him.
His easygoing attitude faded just a little, his eyebrows drawing inward. "Yeah, that's still me."
"Don't get in a huff, it's just a joke!" Ino promised, guiding him toward the bed. "And don't worry, you'll like this." Before she sat him down, she dropped his pants first, then knelt as she pulled him down to sit on the bed. He quickly agreed with her promise he'd like this if this was going where he thought it was going. He leaned back a little as Ino positioned herself between his legs, gently fondling his package.
"Seriously?" Sakura asked, sitting to Naruto's side. "On my new bed?"
"Gotta break it in somehow!" Ino chirped, discarding her top and skirt. An action that further encouraged her male lover to rise to the occasion. "Come on Little Naruto! Time to play!" She gently massaged his balls, gave his semi-erect shaft some soft strokes, breathed on it coax it to readiness just that little more. She licked her lips as she saw the crown fully revealed to her as it rose to full hardness. "There we go." The blonde leaned in close, ran her tongue along the underside, swirled it around the crown, winking playfully as her and Naruto's eyes met. "You wanted to see it, Sakura?"
"Yeah..." The pinkette's cheeks were flushed as she fidgeted with her clothing, not sure whether to get herself involved. For the moment, she let her interest reign over her lust.
"Okay, watch close." The blonde reared back, a foot away from her boyfriend's cock. More than disappointed, Naruto was curious what this was all about. The promise their teacher had made to teach them special techniques after poison resistance. Naruto's had been obvious. Sakura had shown hers off on the Kishi mission, genjutsu techniques that gave her interrogation options supplemented by her medical ninjutsu. But Ino? She had been quiet about Ino. And then she had absconded with the blonde for several days for special training. It seemed Sakura now knew, but Naruto would experience it first hand.
On that realisation, he felt a little more trepidation about what was to come.
Ino's mouth opened wide but not wide enough to wipe away the smile to her lips. Her brows furrowed in concentration for a second, then her tongue extended out of her mouth.
And kept going.
"Wow..." Sakura breathed, seeing the organ flick at Naruto's glans, a foot long and writhing with the movement. The blonde looked proud of herself as her tongue continued to extend along Naruto's shaft, at first awkwardly and then confidently coiling around it in a tight, wet embrace.
"Oh wow," Naruto agreed with their observer, "Yeah, okay, this is," he grunted, feeling the tongue begin stroking his cock, "This is new!" The blonde grinned up at him, enjoying the way he had no idea what to do. Clearly enjoying it, but struggling to grasp what was happening all the same.
"So it's real? You can stretch parts of your body like that? Is it anything? Do you have to focus on it or is it automatic–?"
"Sakura, please don't make her stop to answer questions right now!" Naruto begged.
Ino hummed curiously, mockingly, as her tongue continued to writhe while stroking his shaft. Only for so long, before she decided to change tactics. Her tongue partially uncoiled from him, leaving only a single loop around it before she dove onto his meat, taking it into her mouth. Then her throat. Then buried her nose in his crotch, having taken his cock to the hilt in one long swallow, her tongue continuing to jerk him even inside her own throat.
"Oh shit!" The Uzumaki's entire body jerked at the unexpected sensation of Ino continuously swallowing his cock without a single hint of distress. His hands grasped her head, silently demanding she stay right where she was and never stop. Sakura stared wide-eyed at the prominent bulge in her friend's throat, showing off exactly how stuffed it was. And yet Ino still showed no issue. No choking. No struggling. Just massaging the cock meat with her tongue and throat muscles, milking it with her own body.
"Fuck!" He cursed aloud, pressing her head even harder against his crotch as he felt it. "Ino! I'm cumming!" She didn't stop, but at the same time it was clear Naruto wouldn't let her stop. Not until he forced her to swallow every drop.
Not that Ino had any misgivings about that at all. Her throat undulated around him, begging him for it. And as that thick, white syrup sprayed out of that cock, her tongue was right there. Even as it flowed into her throat, was swallowed down into her hungry belly, she still got a taste of her boyfriend's hot cream before it slid down. Just a chance to savour her reward for her hard work. She pulled away, letting the thick meat slide back out of her gullet, her tongue returning to its proper place as the cock re-emerged from her lips. Soaked with spit, but completely clean of his cum. That was all hers. "You like?" she asked with a giggle and a flirtatious wink. The coy attitude was only slightly undercut by the feminine burp caused by her satisfying meal.
"That was amazing," Naruto breathed, absolutely blown away. He was tempted to push Ino to the top of the best blowjobs list but... He wasn't sure that could even still be called one.
Sakura, who had at some point during the show discarded her own clothing, grabbed hold of Ino's chin. Examined the throat, jaw and mouth with diagnostic jutsu. "Amazing," she marvelled, "No damage at all. Can I ask my questions now?"
"Do you want to?" Ino asked with a smirk. "Or do you want to see what a prehensile tongue can do for you?"
"Ugh, you never play fair."
The former Yamanaka pushed her brainier lover down onto the bed with a grin. "Never have, never will." She happily fondled Sakura's small but perky tits as she slid down to playfully lap at the pinkette's pink pussy.
The near naked ass swaying above him was too much for Naruto to leave alone. He soon flipped himself up to position himself behind the blonde's hips. Peeled down her thong panties to reveal her glistening slit. As usual, Ino got off just a little on being the one in control.
"Ah," Ino gasped, head coming up from slurping at Sakura's folds to look behind her. "Go ahead, Naruto! Go as rough as you want! I promise I can take it."
"You sure?"
"Wouldn't say it if I wasn't! Fuck me hard!"
"Don't regret it later, ya know!" he warned her, putting a hand on her ass to steady her as he positioned himself. Then slammed inside her at full force, hammering her pussy walls open in a single thrust. The head of his cock spearing against the entrance to her womb. And yet, even being so rough and sudden, her walls opened willingly, accepted him unconditionally. Even her final barrier seemed willing to accommodate if he had been big enough to fully breach it.
"Ooh, yeah!" Ino goaded him, "Just like that! Pound me like I'm your bitch, Naruto!" she demanded, with a desirous look behind her. She turned back to regard the girl beneath her. "As for you..." She dove onto Sakura's pussy once again with a fervour that had been absent in her formerly teasing laps. Sakura being a sensitive sort, even that was enough to get her going. But that wasn't even a teaser of what was to come. Ino's mouth opened, her lips enclosing over the medic's womanhood as her tongue slithered out and then into the waiting, quivering depths. Naruto pounded her own pussy just like she wanted, but she allowed the impact to bend her middle instead of carrying through. Her absurdly flexible spine let her go at precisely the pace she desired with Sakura without jarring motions.
Her tongue snaked inside, curling and coiling, swirling the inside of Sakura's pussy walls. The flexibility so far beyond anything a cock could manage. Ino was able to treat her lover's insides the same as she would the outside. Exploring and testing to find the exact spots that would get the pinkette writhing in ecstasy. Find the clusters of nerves that were like miniature pleasure buttons. Her wriggling tongue wasn't shy or reluctant to manipulate those spots for maximum effect. Playing the girl's pussy like an instrument, the music her moans and cries of pleasure.
And her own satisfaction wasn't ignored either. Ino's sexual experience wasn't vast. She had been trained to be good at it but very little of that included actual experience. None that went beyond toys. Her most vigorous occasions had been with Naruto and he had always held back just enough to be considerate. He was right to. Pleasure could easily turn to pain from being too rough. But that was before. Before her body had been modified to be flexible, to be malleable. She had become a woman who could take anything he could give and beg for more, and if her mouth weren't otherwise occupied she would have done just that. Feeling every hammerblow to her pussy, all the strength Naruto had in him, all with no pain. Just pleasure. Just the feeling of getting absolutely railed, her body dominated by her boyfriend's cock slamming into her. That was good. If she wasn't going to be on top, she wanted it to be for something like this.
Sakura's mind had devolved into half-mad babbles and squeals by the time Naruto finally emptied himself for the second time into one of Ino's holes. Another deluge of cum poured right into her waiting womb. As she rode out the aftershocks of her own orgasm, she was so glad for her contraception. With how much sex they had been having, she would have bet everything she had on being pregnant by now.
-(-)-
A team ten team meeting. It only made sense now that the team was once again completely reassembled. Ino's long absence had been necessary. The procedure for the soft physique modification was a long and involved one. Anko would know, having gone through it herself once upon a time. The benefits were worth it though, as a grinning Ino seemed to agree.
Likewise, the meetings regarding village security were growing fewer after the first week. The village leadership were aware of the coming danger. Plans had been created and organised for quietly shifting things for rapid and coordinated response to the attack. Those plans would be altered in the coming weeks as a clearer picture formed of what might happen, but for the time being the focus was enacting those plans.
And so, enacting those plans was what this meeting was about. The newly pseudo-Chunin had been tasked with something important. And so it was necessary to ready them for their roles.
"Alright," Anko announced, staring each of her 'Genin' down. "You know what's coming. You know we need to get you ready for the Chunin Exams." How convenient that they had a ready made excuse for why the kids would be training so hard. "That means a lot of hard training. We're going to be building on the foundations you have. No crazy changes to how you do things so you can work on a lot of this stuff on your own. With one exception. Flower Girl."
"Still with the nicknames..."
"You're flexible now," she continued, ignoring Sakura's interruption. "That's good. Because we're going to be spending this time making the most of that. You're gonna be spending the most time with me, learning the Snake Style. It's important we get you in a state where you have a better chance of surviving a free-for-all. Infiltration skills, your clan techniques, they're great for actual missions. Not so much for how the exams usually go."
"Got it, Sensei."
"Pinky." This one was difficult. Sakura... Wasn't really a fighter. And there wasn't that much they could do about that. "You're not great at mixing it up in close. We won't be able to fix that in the time we have. So... We're going to double down on support and distance fighting. I'm gonna be sending you over to Kurenai so she can get you a firmer grounding in genjutsu. On top of that, the Hokage's assistant Kabuto has offered to show you some tricks to put your medical ninjutsu to more offensive use."
"Wait, really?" Sakura asked with surprise. "But he's the best medic in the village!"
"Well he's also my junior so I can bully him into things," the elite Jonin bragged, buffing her fingernails. "Short of Tsunade magically appearing and teaching you the secrets behind her super strength, he's the best we've got for raising your combat potential."
"Understood, Sensei!" the medic nodded eagerly. "I won't waste this opportunity."
"Aww, that's cute." The squad leader turned to her final student. "Blondie. You're actually gonna be spending a little time with someone else for their training. But beyond that, you'll be spending most of your time at home. The sealing chains of the Uzumaki could be a vital skill depending on how the exams go. You never know what the other villages might bring in for the sake of showing off."
The subtext wasn't obvious, but from his recent experiences Naruto picked it up. It had been mentioned many times in the security meetings. The one thing that gave the other villages the best shot at crippling the Leaf with a single devastating attack. Bringing in jinchuriki. If they did, save for boss summons and incredible coordination, there wasn't much the Leaf could bring to bear for dealing with such threats as the tailed beasts save for the sealing arts. From the Sage of Six Paths to the First Hokage, sealing was seen as the most reliable option against such an opponent.
To think he was being selfish when he discussed learning such things with Kushina. And here he was not a day later, finding out it was vital he learn the exact same skill.
