Over 100 followers, yay! I knew we'd get there eventually!
The Pack woke with the dawn, full of energy and ready to go. Naruto fed Gaara his breakfast while the others grabbed a quick shower, then Naruto dashed in for a rinse himself before heading for the Kitchen. They all dressed in formal wear, anticipating an audience with the High Council. Naruto felt in a celebratory mood, so he made crepes with fresh fruit and cream, to the universal delight of the crew. Then they made for the Bridge.
They had a communique waiting. Gaara waddled over to his Comms station and opened it. *These are the coordinates for the facility where we keep the artifacts of Orochimaru's reign, including the Legacy. It is our most secure location, exceeding the protections around even the High Council Chambers,* the Grey that had already grown a couple inches remarked.
"Why were you guys so paranoid about someone discovering an old wreck and a few cave paintings?" Tenten asked curiously.
*Because they were an UZU wreck and UZU cave paintings. After Orochimaru died, the first High Council decided to do its utmost to conceal the existence of our former leader's race from the entire Galactic League. To our knowledge, we are the only race of the Galactic League to remember in detail the Orochimaru Empire,* Gaara explained even as Hinata moved the Invictus to land at the coordinates.
The four powerful engines on the Invictus fired up, taking them around to the other side of the planet, before they began to descend into the atmosphere. Hinata brought them down closer to the reddish-orange surface of Suna, and a green guidepath lit up to lead them to their destination. They flew over what seemed like an abandoned, desolate area of arid scrubland, with no discernible features or buildings whatsoever, but the guidepath was still leading them directly towards it.
As they glided forward on their final approach, the surface of the planet seemed to split, and it became clear that there was a huge hangar bay concealed below them, that was now opening to grant them entry.
"Oh wow!" Tenten gasped, where she had been studying her Engineering console intently.
"What is it Tenten?" Naruto asked her curiously.
"I just did an active scan when they revealed the hangar. Check this out!" she said in wonder, hitting a few buttons on her console. A holographic representation of Suna's surface appeared in the Bridge, red, dry and dusty. Tenten manipulated a few more controls and then the newly revealed hangar was displayed, as well as hundreds of subterranean installations surrounding the underground facility.
"Those are planetary defence lasers!" Hana gasped in shock, as she spotted row upon row of massive weapons concealed below the surface. "A couple of hits from one of those would blow us out of the sky!"
*I was not exaggerating when I said it was our most secure location,* Gaara said with a hint of smugness.
Hinata brought the Invictus in for a gentle landing, right in the middle of the underground hangar bay. She powered off the engines, and then looked at Naruto expectantly with a reassuring smile on her face.
"Ok let's find out what they know," Naruto said resolutely, as he rose from his chair. The girls and guys followed his lead, and they headed out of the Bridge, down the grav-tube and then out the airlock on Deck 9. When the outer airlock spun open at Naruto's behest, they noticed a silvery-grey disk shaped ship parked nearby, with one of the robed Suna waiting for them patiently.
*Brother Kankuro,* Gaara projected, looking a bit embarrassed of his gravid state. *I half expected Father himself to be our guide.*
*He is busy preparing a… surprise for UzumakiNaruto and his crew. I volunteered to guide your new crew through our hallowed halls,* the Councillor stated warmly. *Greetings, UzumakiNaruto and the Uzumaki Pack. I see you've been taking good care of my younger brother.*
"Gaara is a sweetheart, we're happy to have him," Hinata said with a stunning smile that Kankuro needed a moment to recover from.
*Yes… first, I will show you the cave paintings. Please follow.*
Naruto strode after the quickly gliding councillor, with the girls and guys following in his wake. Kankuro opened the door and went inside, then led them past several security checkpoints, until they reached an anti-grav tube. Dozens of anti-personnel weapons were built into the walls, and the barrels tracked the group ominously as they walked closer to the tube. Kankuro went in first, leaving Naruto and his crew to follow behind him down the anti-grav tube. They descended in pensive silence, travelling downwards for what seemed like an eternity, before the tube eventually ended with a single exit. The robed Suna was waiting for them to land, and then he turned, leading them down a corridor to a high archway containing two heavily glyphed doors.
Naruto read the enchantments, getting inspiration for how to improve the nightly wards from the innovative invocations of protection and stealth. "Do the Suna remember how to read these?" he asked curiously.
*That knowledge has been lost to us. We preserved the intention of the enchantments but lack the capability to read the actual runes,* Kankuro provided. Walking up to a Psi-scanner set into the wall, he stood stationary, while his grey bulbous head was enveloped in a soft green glow. The doors to his side cracked open and then slowly split apart, revealing a huge cavernous room built hundreds of meters below the planet's surface. The room was shrouded in darkness, the faint overhead lights only offering tantalising glimpses of the unevenly shaped objects contained inside.
"What is this place?" Sasuke asked in awe, breaking the tense stillness of the underground cavern.
*This is our repository of everything we have found on the Uzu,* Kankuro replied quietly, his mental voice filled with reverence. *The entrance to the Legacy Chamber is hidden in here as well.*
Kankuro turned and faced a control panel set into a wall, and it began to glow with an ethereal green radiance. Throughout the room, spotlights began to activate, focused specifically on each of the objects stored within.
*We used to claim ownership of many worlds,* the Suna councillor began quietly. *We gathered every reference to your people we discovered.*
He led Naruto over to the first object, which was a series of massive stone tablets, inscribed with a primitive pictorial form of language. The images showed a pointy eared humanoid, wielding what looked like a bulky staff, and slaying red skinned humanoid men with lightning bolts. As they followed the story conveyed by the pictures, the mysterious staff wielding character seemed to amass a throng of red skinned females. There had clearly been more to the story, but the rest of the pictures had been sheared away from the crumbling stone edifice.
Hinata used Psychic Translation to read the intention behind each glyph and so read the foreign language. "'And so Orochimaru the Great and Terrible waged war against the Achonin, slaughtering their men, raping their women, and burning their cities'... this must be before he met Guren. Possibly millennia before she was born."
*You can read this? Our best archaeologists gave it up as a lost cause!* Gaara marveled.
"It's an Uzu power, you'll have it in about a week," Hinata explained nonchalantly.
"Cool! This one has him shooting lasers out his eyes!" Tenten gushed, having moved down the line. "Can I do that?"
"Get good at Light Manipulation and we'll see," Naruto said faintly, unable to look away from what was essentially his heritage. *Orochimaru enslaved so many… am I just following in his footsteps?*
*Not at all! You're a good man who wouldn't enslave anyone in your life! You got ME and you treated me with nothing but respect. Never doubt yourself like that again, Naruto,* Fu thought vehemently.
*I won't, honey,* he told her before giving her a big kiss.
Sasuke had been scanning each pictograph intently. He paused at one halfway down the line. "Here's more of Guren's race. And I'm pretty sure the creation of the Suna, the Iwa… and the Konoha," Sasuke said with a lump in his throat. "We were test-tube babies in an alien's lab. Adam and Eve were real… I think I have to lie down."
Hana gave Sasuke a hug as his whole worldview was altered. She turned to face Kankuro and Gaara. "How did Orochimaru die? You say he sacrificed himself?"
*Roughly 10,000 Konoha years ago, another Uzu appeared and started wreaking havoc on the portion of the Orochimaru Empire dedicated to the Iwa. Dozens of planets were shattered; this is the reason for all the asteroid belts in the Iwa Republic. Orochimaru met him in battle, and did something that caused an explosion strong enough to create a tear in space-time. We assume he self-destructed his Wormhole Generator. The Suna retrieved the broken shell of Orochimaru's ship and over the millennia have attempted to preserve and even repair it… though I suspect Tenten will point out a great many mistakes we made,* Kankuro answered, turning a bit wry at the end.
"The Niryean Rift? That was caused by an Uzu pulling a suicide move? Damn, I feel chills," Hinata shuddered.
"Niryean Rift?" Fu asked, confused.
"It's a spatial anomaly in the Zeta Pegasus system," Naruto provided. "Shipping's been going missing there for centuries, Fu," Naruto explained, giving her an apologetic smile. "The system is densely packed with rich asteroid belts and it sometimes draws in miners bold or crazy enough to try mining there. Sometimes they come back rich men, sometimes they don't..."
"With no wreckage ever found... it's as though their ships disappeared without a trace!" Hinata elaborated in a theatrically spooky voice. She abruptly went quiet, lost in her thoughts.
"So basically the Bermuda Triangle, like back on Konoha?" Hana asked to clarify.
"Yeah, like that. And apparently it's the site of Orochimaru's last stand," Naruto mused. "Wonder how many of his Thralls he took down with him… or if he even thought of that," he said darkly.
Kankuro blinked. *I believe it is time we show you the Legacy. No non-Suna has ever had this privilege before,* he informed them, before leading them to a second, secret Psi-Scanner set in the back wall of the room. His head was scanned to confirm his brain waves and Psi-Signature, before an invisible join opened and a second set of doors was revealed.
The Uzumaki Pack walked in to find the room totally dark, though the wind made it feel cavernous. Kankuro activated another panel and the lights turned on. The crew, to a one, gasped.
It was as massive as it was damaged. The glistening black of Unobtanium armor plating covered the ship in smooth yet angular lines. The ship was somewhere between the size of a Battleship and a Dreadnought. Several sections had been filled in with silvery Etherium, the smooth symmetry of the Uzu vessel ruined by the roughshod work that was the best the Suna could do.
"Oh my gods, you've ruined it!" Tenten exclaimed in dismay.
Kankuro bowed his head. *We did the best we could without any schematics to work from. This represents the pinnacle of Suna engineering.*
"Well, it's still a sloppy job. You might as well just tear out all the Etherium and start from scratch with the schematics I give you. You could start producing Unobtanium within a week with a reactor plant or two dedicated to producing Uzu elements."
*How long would it take to repair the Legacy to its former glory?* Gaara asked curiously, sharing a look with his brother.
"Using a team the size of the one that redid the Invictus, if everything goes to production schedule… I'd say a couple months. Three or four if there are delays in producing the elements or fusing them together to make the alloys," Tenten said, counting on her fingers for a bit.
*9000 years of work, and it only takes 60 days if you know what you're doing. I don't know whether to be pleased or ashamed,* Kankuro thought miserably.
Fu patted him on the head, unknowing or uncaring that she was touching a government official. "Don't worry, Tenten has a habit of making us feel like idiots. It's not just you."
Naruto was unable to look away from the wrecked Uzu vessel. The psychic remnants all but dripping off of it spoke of millennia of suffering and death. Thousands, maybe even millions of Thralls had died on that ship over the years. Naruto was haunted by the fact that a ship like this, in another life, would have been his 'legacy' too.
Sasuke, sensing his lover's distress, sidled up next to him and wrapped an arm around Naruto's shoulder. "Just imagine how it will look in white," he said encouragingly.
Naruto blinked before he nodded and managed a weak smile. "At least purifying the Onyxium makes it a nice neutral color. Imagine if it had turned pink!"
Hinata chuckled. "That would have been a sight to see. A fleet destroyer, shaded like Sakura's hair!"
Kankuro stepped forward. *Do you wish to enter it?*
"No!" Naruto said a little too emphatically. "I don't know how you can go in without going into psychic shock. Let's not scar our psyches anymore than they already are, okay?"
Kankuro nodded. *It is indeed a struggle. Very well, we shall leave. Father should be done with his preparations for you.*
They left the Uzu Chambers and went up the anti-grav tube back to the surface. Kankuro gratefully accepted a ride in the Invictus, marveling at the work his kind's engineers had done on the Assault Cruiser. They followed the provided flight path to an empty Docking Bay directly underneath the trading emporium of Suna's capital. Magnetic clamps grabbed them and turned them upside down before locking into place.
The Pack and Kankuro walked out the airlock. Naruto saw an opportunity for a prank and couldn't resist. "Hey, guys, what color is the sky?"
Everyone looked up only to scream and crouch down to cling to the ground. For the 'sky' was the surface of Suna, hovering kilometers 'above' them. Naruto burst into laughter, while Gaara and Kankuro chuckled, used to the phenomenon after a lifetime on Suna.
"That was a dirty trick, Naruto," Hinata grumbled.
"They say the ability to laugh at yourself is a sign of a well-adjusted mind," Sasuke mused, hand on his racing heart.
"I'm making you pay at our next spar," Hana swore.
"Gotta love anti-grav," Tenten said good naturedly.
"I almost turned into a bird!" Fu reported.
Kankuro got their attention and then he turned to lead them over to the anti-grav shafts up to the surface of the shipyard. A hushed silence had fallen over their little group as they floated up to the top level, and stepped out onto the dusty red street. They followed the robed Grey quietly, as he guided them down the road to the main thoroughfare.
"Where are we heading?" Naruto eventually asked their Grey guide, as he grew ever more intrigued.
*To the Trader's Emporium, you will see why, shortly,* Kankuro said.
After they had walked for a few hundred more meters along the bustling main boulevard, Kankuro brought them to a stop by one of the anti-gravity tubes, that led up to the mezzanine level above them. *The High Council is awaiting you up there, we will join them momentarily,* he advised them in his quiet, baritone voice.
Naruto nodded, and they stepped into the anti-gravity field, ascending upwards after Kankuro. They finally reached the top level, and stepped out, but stopped in stunned surprise at what awaited them.
All the merchant booths had been temporarily cleared, leaving the vast mezzanine completely open. Thousands of Suna awaited them, lined up in orderly rows and all watching and waiting for High Councillor Kankuro to appear with his honored guests. There was a wide path through the throng of Grey citizens, leading directly towards eight robed Ashanath, who John recognised as being the High Council. They stood in a row, awaiting Naruto and his crew, in front of a large silvery object that dominated the otherwise empty trader's emporium.
*If you would follow me please,* Kankuro said, with a deep respectful bow.
Naruto glanced at the girls and guys, who were looking a little overawed, and then nodded his assent to Kankuro. The councillor glided ahead of them, and the Invictus crew followed behind him as he led them through the huge crowd of staring alien citizens. Feeling very self conscious, they were relieved when they finally arrived in front of the High Council. Kankuro went to stand at his place with his colleagues, and Senior Councillor Rasa stepped forward.
"UzumakiNaruto, we are honored that you and your companions would grace us with your presence this day. As our loyal allies, you have done so much for the Suna Collective, saving many thousands of lives with your elimination of the vicious Kusa raiders," he said, the unemotional voice of his speech modulator still conveying the gratitude in his words.
"It gives me great pleasure to announce that you will always be welcome on Suna as a friend to the Suna people, and we wish to unveil a tribute we have constructed in your honor," he declared, before turning around to face the large silvery object behind him.
The silvery object began to rustle, and it became apparent that it was a silver coloured cloth of some kind, that was being pulled back to reveal whatever was concealed beneath. John and the Pack watched spellbound, as the silvery cloth moved slowly up and backwards, before finally dropping away, leaving the huge monument to gleam brightly in the sunlight.
"Oh, wow!" Tenten muttered, awestruck, as she stared up with disbelieving eyes at the monument that loomed above them.
The monument was made out of Etherium, and was a perfect replica of Naruto, Hinata, Sasuke, Hana, Tenten, Fu, and Gaara. The attention to detail by the Suna sculptors was incredible, having managed to perfectly capture the beauty of each of the girls, the handsomeness of the men, and even going so far as to manage to get the order right in the way they arranged themselves around Naruto. The seven of them were positioned in a heroic pose, and the fifty foot tall statue dominated the view over the Mezzanine, clearly viewable from all areas.
"This is incredible," Naruto said in wonder, his voice hushed.
"You have saved a great many lives with your intervention against... the Kusa." Rasa murmured to him quietly, pausing significantly when he spoke. "We hope that by positioning the monument to you and your companions here, then tales of your exploits will spread amongst the other races that come to trade with us."
"Thank you for your amazing generosity, Rasa," Naruto said sincerely, before turning to face the assembled Suna citizens.
"I feel honored to consider the wonderful people of the Suna Collective my ally," Naruto began, addressing the crowd in a strong voice that echoed around the plaza. "It was only through the hard work and technical skills of citizens here on Suna, that we were able to defeat the Kusa and bring an end to their brutal attacks. I hope that through future cooperation, we can continue to achieve great things together, forging a bright future, side by side as allies and friends!"
There was a psychic ripple as the gathered Grey's reacted to that speech.
*Of course, what Rasa didn't say is that this marks us as the Suna's allies to the rival Uzu as well,* Naruto pointed out to his crew.
*My father is prone to grand gestures with double or even triple meanings. He was sincere in wanting to honor you, but he also acted to protect the Suna Collective,* Gaara explained.
*Then I guess we better get to Uzu grade tech sooner rather than later. I'm officially working on the AI Mainframe next. I need an assistant that can keep up with me,* Tenten projected.
Sasuke visibly tensed. *Do it at all our risk,* he thought snidely.
Naruto turned back to the Council once more, before he bowed to them, and they in turn all bowed deeply towards him. Rasa then stepped forward and spoke to him again, "We wish you a safe journey, and will always offer you the hand of friendship should you ever find yourself in need UzumakiNaruto."
"Likewise, Senior Councillor," Naruto replied, and then turned to walk back through the huge crowds of Suna civilians who looked on, following their every move as they left the mezzanine of the trader's emporium. They stopped by the anti-gravity tube that led back down to the boulevard and Naruto and the Pack waved the assembled Suna a warm wave goodbye. The aliens copied the movement awkwardly and then the crew stepped into the tubes and away from sight.
They walked along in silence for a few minutes until they were back in the anti-grav passage leading down to the hangar bay housing the Invictus. They glanced at each other with excited eyes, and managed to keep it together until they opened the airlock into the Assault Cruiser, and walked inside. The moment the airlock door spiralled shut, the spell of silence was broken and they exploded into excited chatter.
"That was wonderful!" Fu exclaimed excitedly, looking up at Naruto adoringly.
"They built a statue to us!" Tenten said, bouncing up and down with glee.
"My family would freak if they saw this!" Hana gasped in wonder.
They all retreated to the Officer's Lounge for a celebratory drink, discussing the statue and the gesture it represented, and reflecting on their conflict with the Kusa in general.
"Where are you, you elusive bastard?!" the brooding figure snarled in anger, slamming his fist down on the gothic throne. He had been working through his vast network of informants, but none of his contacts seemed to have a clue where Commander Uzumaki Naruto had disappeared to.
"You can't have just vanished!" he exclaimed, finding this particular target to be absolutely infuriating.
The last reports he had received, showed Uzumaki Naruto and his Assault Cruiser to be sighted at Olympus Shipyard, but that was nearly two weeks ago, and there had been neither sight nor sound of him since then. Fortunately the contract didn't specify a deadline for its completion, but this was the longest he had ever taken to eliminate a target, and he wouldn't risk anything tarnishing his darkly won reputation.
"Maybe another approach is needed here," he mused to himself, stroking his chin thoughtfully.
He reached over to his console and made a call.
Naruto and his crew of beautiful young women and 1.5 handsome men were up on the Bridge of the Invictus. They had watched quietly as Hinata had taken off from the docking bay, and then skilfully guided the huge spacecraft through the canyons underneath the vast shipyard, until finally she had them soaring away into the upper atmosphere of Suna.
"I got kind of used to having Suna as our base of our operations," Tenten said wistfully as the arid reddish-orange planet's surface grew small behind them on the holographic display in the bridge. As they left orbit, the planetary map was replaced by the System Map, casting a soothing yellow glow over the bridge from the representation of the Suna star.
"You seemed to be very popular amongst the Suna engineers," Fu observed, glancing at the ravenette and offering her a friendly wink.
"I think Tenten just got used to being followed around by adoring minions," Hana joked good naturedly.
"What's that like Naruto?" Hinata asked innocently.
The girls and guys erupted into laughter as they looked up at him, sitting in his Command Chair overlooking the Bridge. "I enjoy it immensely," he noted archly, before his face lit up with a grin.
"I'm sure you do," Sasuke smiled at him affectionately.
"So XO, how long until we reach Epsilon Eridani and Jericho?" Naruto asked, adeptly changing the subject to Hana's home planet. "I'm curious to meet the potential in-laws," he added looking at Hana and smiling.
"Potential? You mean I gave you my virtue and you don't intend for us to be wed?" She asked scandalized, holding her hand to her mouth.
Naruto smiled tenderly at his Tactical Officer and used Telekinesis to drag her to him and kiss her thoroughly. When he pulled back, he turned to regard all of the crew. "I intend to marry each of you as soon as I find the right rings and find an officiant that will perform a group marriage."
The Pack were stunned by the Alpha's words.
"Master," Fu breathed with tears in her eyes.
"I'm head wife, right?" Hinata asked half-seriously.
"Itachi is going to kill me," Sasuke lamented, a smile on his face.
"I demand a 5-karat rock on mine," Tenten joked, honestly taken aback by Naruto's promise.
Gaara held his silence, but he bowed his head towards his Uzu master.
Hana cupped Naruto's face. "This mean I'm introducing you as my fiance?"
"Of course not. I haven't proposed yet. Each of you will get your own," Naruto answered with his trademark grin.
Hinata shook her head. "Let's just focus on getting to Hana's home," Hinata said, pulling up the Galaxy Map. She calculated the flight path, using her warp tunneling technique to the max. "1.25 days, or dinner time tommorow."
"My mother doesn't even arrive until two days from now. I guess we're sleeping over. Hopefully my brothers don't object to Naruto and I sharing my childhood room!" Hana joked, genuine worry hidden in her voice.
Naruto hugged her close. "I'll sleep on the floor of your parents' room if they insist. I want to make a good impression on your family."
Gaara raised his hand, having grasped basic Konoha arm gestures. *Will I still be meeting InuzukaHana's family? I am roughly 13 meals away from becoming a Beta Uzu.*
"Yes, but you'll have to use your speech modulator. Hopefully they just think you're a particularly tall Grey," Naruto answered.
Gaara nodded. "That is acceptable," came the whispery voice from his collar.
"Do you need new clothes? Those robes must be getting tight," Hinata asked in concern.
*They are very stretchy. They might fit my final form… barely,* Gaara responded.
"Speaking of, it's lunch time. You guys go down and get started, Gaara and I will be along in about five minutes," Naruto ordered his Pack.
The Pack nodded, each giving Naruto a kiss on their way to the anti-grav tube. Gaara waited patiently for Naruto to sit down in his Command Chair and unbuckle his belt and unzip his fly.
*I already feel stronger, more energetic, more centered. The psychic stimulant in your semen is really quite valuable,* Gaara remarked as he got down on his knees.
Naruto smiled down at his male Thrall. *And I'm sure you enjoy the autofellatio the Astral Bond allows.*
*That goes without saying.*
Gaara sucked the long, thick cock into his mouth, savoring the sugar sweetness of Naruto's pre. He used skills he'd acquired in his youth to coax a load from those perfect spheres, until finally he was rewarded with a bulging belly and a tangible sense of power suffusing his every cell.
Naruto guided the cum-drunk Suna to the Officer's Lounge, where he found his team had decided on burgers and sausages for lunch. He built his burger and had a couple hot dogs, laughing as everyone made a show of deepthroating the wieners before eating them. Afterwards, they cleaned the dishes and went to the Commander's Quarters to change into more comfortable clothes.
"I say we all have a spar, a real free-for-all. Winner gets to be center of attention tonight," Naruto proposed.
Sasuke shrugged. "I'm game if you are."
"I need the practice for when I spar my brothers tomorrow," Hana said, bouncing in place to warm-up.
"I should learn how to fight in this form. I agree," Fu complied.
Tenten shook her head. "I need to work on the Mainframe. It'll take me three days to make and assemble all the parts. I'll be using one of the empty offices on Deck 3. Don't worry, it'll be on a closed network before I hook it up to the rest of the Invictus's systems."
Hinata grinned. "Prepare to worship me tonight," she said with confidence.
Gaara looked down at his 5'3 body and distended middle. *I shall simply watch.*
They all went for the Gym and then engaged in the fiercest combat the crew had ever seen, including the fights with the Kusa and Nuke. Everyone made full use of Psychic Speed and Strength, and their own personal adaptation of Naruto's original skillset. Meanwhile, Tenten began to work on the invention that would produce an invaluable ally… or spell their inevitable doom.
Fu proved the surprise victor, her ability to shapeshift claws making her the deadliest opponent and managed to mark up each of them. Nothing that Psychic Healing couldn't fix, but definitely 'killing' blows. Everyone panted before stripping off their clothes and jumping in the pool to cool off.
"Great job, Fu! And that wasn't even as a tiger! You just might be the most dangerous member of the Pack!" Naruto gushed as he tread water.
"I'm flattered, but if we'd been allowed to use other powers I'd have been sunk. You could have just choked us all with Telekinesis," Fu replied, swimming up close to him to smell his sweat.
"I would have electrocuted you all right from the off," Sasuke grumbled.
"You seem really attached to Psychic Lightning. Did you stick your finger in a socket as a child?" Hana asked the former Vice Admiral.
Sasuke looked away. "I have no idea what you're talking about. I did NOT chew the wires to the lamp."
"So, our emerald goddess gets the gangbang treatment tonight. That means tentacle sex once Naruto or Sasuke goes up her ass," Hinata said while floating on her back.
Gaara waddled over to sit on the edge of the pool. *That was a masterful display. I cannot imagine ever being so competent myself, even with Knowledge Transference.*
They all smiled at their telepathic crewmate. "You'll get there one day, buddy. And you'll also be a crack shot and have every psychic power you can imagine. You're going to be quite the threat one day soon," Naruto said brightly. "Now, I think our makeshift bath is over. Let's get a real shower then go for a drink."
They all grabbed their dirty clothes and made for Deck 2. They threw their workout gear in the hamper and filed into the open shower. They had fun scrubbing each other off before drying off. Since it was just them aboard, they walked nude to the Officer's Lounge and arranged themselves on the comfy chairs with their drink of choice.
Naruto spent a couple hours preparing a Shepherd's Pie. Everyone, including Tenten who faithfully reported for dinner, enjoyed the combination of flaky crust, beef, and peas. Gaara ducked under the table for his own dinner.
They blew Fu's mind afterwards in an orgiastic haze that lasted hours. They all collapsed into bed, Gaara rounded out with one last load.
