Mhmm. Chapter Thirteen.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
Chapter 13: Home Is Where You Are
"Maa Maa, that was the easiest mission in a long while."
"Yeah it was, Naruto-taicho is going to be my favorite leader."
"Nothing but easy missions with the guy."
"Free B-rank check!"
A conversation between Konoha's 'Eternal Gate Guards', Kotetsu and Izumo. They'd been commissioned to join Naruto on his latest mission. And it was the easiest thing they'd done outside of guard duty. A simple escort mission of a VIP to the fire nation capital.
"You're taking me again next time you have one like this, right Naruto-taicho?" questioned Izumo to the Jinchuriki.
"You better take me too! I want to guard the wife of the Daiymo's cat for a free check every time," said Kotetsu as Konoha's gate came into view. Kotetsu frowned seeing their replacements both sleeping. "I can't believe they're disrespecting the most important mission in Konoha. There's nothing more prestigious than guarding the gate."
"I doubt it. You two were just available. That's the only reason the gaki took you," said Anko, the fourth member of Naruto's team. She was also the Jonin meant to observe his actions. Not like she really had to on such a simple mission. "Then again, this is Naruto's last mission as a chunin. His little Jonin test is done. So, he could pick you bums in the future but, I doubt it."
"Bums?"
"Gate duty is a genin job and you both know it. Therefore, you're bums."
"So cold." thought Izumo as Kotetsu consoled his partner.
"We're not bums Izumo, Anko-san is rude like that," replied Kotetsu as Anko shook her head.
"Anko-sama."
"I'm not calling you that. Cheer up though Izumo, Naruto-taicho's buying us all drinks tonight for his promotion! Right?" questioned Kotetsu as Naruto smiled. Kotetsu thought the smile was for him until he saw Naruto wasn't even paying attention to them. He was focused on the person just inside Konoha's walls. "Oh, his lady is here to greet him."
"Hey beautiful." Shizuka smiled as Naruto walked up to her.
"Hey handsome." Shizuka greeted him with a kiss as Naruto took her hand.
"Miss me?"
"Not really, you weren't gone long. The sun hasn't even set."
"...you still missed me though, right?"
"You want me to say yes?" questioned Shizuka getting a nod. Naruto needed that for his mind and ego. Shizuka shook her head before giving in to his request. "Fine, I missed you."
"Missed Missed?" questioned Naruto getting another kiss.
"Yes, I missed missed you, Naruto-kun."
"I knew you would," said Naruto with a knowing smirk. Shizuka smiled at her boyfriend's antics before he turned to Kotetsu. "And yes to your question, drinks are on me tonight. All night long."
"WOO!" shouted Kotetsu as Izumo perked up.
"I told you Naruto-taicho was going to be my favorite leader. He's already proving it," said Izumo forgetting Anko's criticism of him. "Free drinks!"
"Did somebody say free drinks?" questioned Kakashi as everyone turned to the Jonin.
Where did he come from? Why was he leaning on the guard booth? When did he even get there? So many questions.
They didn't matter because Naruto didn't want Kakashi to come too. He only planned to provide for Kotetsu and Izumo because they came on the mission with him. Sadly, Kotetsu spoke before he could let that be known.
"Yep Kakashi-senpai! Naruto-taicho is celebrating his Jonin promotion! Drinks are on him tonight, all night long!" Kakashi's visible eye turned to a smile.
"Great then! I'll scrounge up some more people. We'll see you at the Drunken Leaf at 7!" Kakashi wouldn't arrive until after nine.
Kakashi poofed away as Naruto frowned. Well, looked like his saved S-rank with Jiraiya would be spent buying drinks for his comrades. Aw well, he could consider it hazing the new Jonin. And Naruto was okay with that. Because he was a Jonin now. Tsunade would make it so very soon.
"Kiss the ring bitch! I'm a Jonin!" shouted Naruto getting a few civilians to turn to him.
His shout was loud but, he didn't care. He was a Jonin! Naruto was so excited that he had to express it. He scanned around to figure out in what way and found it easily. And Shizuka loved how he showed his joy.
Naruto scooped the black-haired beauty up and planted a steamy kiss on her. A kiss that Shizuka happily reciprocated. So into it, she'd even wrapped her legs around Naruto's waist as they continued making out. A few wolf whistles and cheers got the two to realize they had spectators.
The couple stopped and turned to see a crowd had gathered. Hard for them not to with Naruto's earlier yelling. When they came to check, they didn't mind admiring his and Shizuka's public display of affection. Well, time to escape this embarrassment. Naruto prepped a shunshin but stopped when Anko held his shoulder.
"Before you shunshin away gaki, Shizuka-chan, you're rolling with me tonight. Wear a dress," said Anko getting Shizuka to turn to her. They weren't going with Naruto? "You can meet your boyfriend later. You don't want to go to that sausage party. So, you're going with me. My place, 6:30 sharp!"
Shizuka nodded as Naruto disappeared in a shunshin.
(Later that night)
This was ridiculous. Naruto planned to take two people out. And somehow, Kakashi managed to round up nearly sixty people. All shinobi too.
"Where the hell were they when I needed people for my mission earlier?" thought Naruto walking around and through the drinking ninjas. He was hiding his ire well as he smiled when they congratulated him for his promotion. "Free alcohol is free alcohol though. I hope I have enough to pay for this."
At the rate the people were drinking, Naruto wasn't so sure. But, it was his hazing. He was a new Jonin and this was his welcoming by his peers. It'd be fine. He'd earn his money back eventually.
"Great job Naruto-kun!"
"Thank you Ebisu-san."
"My cute little genin is now a big, bad Jonin!"
"So it seems Kakashi-sensei." How did he drink with that mask on?
"I was a Jonin faster."
"It was wartime when you were growing up Ero-Sennin. Of course you'd get promoted faster than..." replied Naruto absentmindedly. Naruto trailed off when he realized who he was talking to. Jiraiya sat pulling the trigger on a bottle of brown liquor. Naruto snatched it from the man getting him to glare drunkenly at him. "When did you get back sensei?"
"Oi! I wasn't finished with that! And I got back not too long ago," said Jiraiya watching Naruto take a swig. A long swig that got Jiraiya to smile. Slowly but surely, he'd molded the kid into his true pupil. Jiraiya had brought him to the pervy side and now didn't even have to force Naruto to drink with him. "Perfect timing on my return considering this party you've thrown. Good on ya but, aren't you underage? Why are you drinking? Kushina would kill me if she knew I let you do so on my watch."
"'If you can kill people, I'm pretty sure you can drink alcohol'. It's what you said when you kept trying to get me drunk during the trip. Plus, Ka-chan would kick your ass and that's got nothing to do with me," said Naruto shivering while he spoke. The alcohol burned on the way down. It always did with Jiraiya's particular choice. "It's not like I can get drunk anyway. We figured that out on the trip too. My furry pal keeps that from happening."
"I'm not your pal," corrected Naruto's bijuu.
"Ero-Sennin doesn't know that." thought back Naruto as Jiraiya raised an eyebrow.
"The Kyubi isn't your pal," said Jiraiya grabbing the bottle back.
"He said the same. I know he likes me."
"No, I don't."
"No he doesn't," said Jiraiya getting Naruto to drop his head.
"He said that too," said Naruto as Jiraiya put the bottle back to his lips. Naruto perked up getting Jiraiya to peek an eye at him while he drank. Naruto bit his thumb before putting his hand to the ground. "Kuchiyose." A small toad arrived out of the smoke with a note in its mouth. Naruto took the note, petted the toad, and then handed it a bottle of liquor he pilfered from a nearby table. "No candy again but, is this fine?"
The toad looked at the bottle bigger than itself and grinned widely. It was more than enough as compensation. Naruto passed Jiraiya on that particular toad's favorite summoners list with this act alone.
The toad saluted Naruto before returning to where it came. Naruto smiled before opening the note he'd gotten. Jiraiya tried peeking over Naruto's shoulder to read it and was failing miserably thanks to his alcoholic haze. Naruto's smile dropped shortly before he burned the note in the palm of his hand.
"I got to leave Ero-Sennin."
"Huh? Why?"
"Little shinobi business."
"You need help kiddo?" questioned Jiraiya stone-cold sober.
"It's alright. I got it. I need you to handle this. You can, can't you?" questioned Naruto getting the Sannin to nod. Naruto nodded back while Jiraiya returned to his prior drunken state. "How does he do that? I don't know if Ero-Sennin can even get drunk. He can always switch it off somehow." thought Naruto before grabbing Jiraiya's bottle again. Naruto cringed taking another drink before handing it back. "Alright, don't get too wild sensei. I might be back but, don't count on it."
"No worries kid! I got it all covered! I always do!" shouted Jiraiya watching Naruto walk away. Jiraiya took another drink before thinking about something. "Oi! I'm not paying for this brat!"
"I already gave you Gama-chan!" Jiraiya heard Naruto's shout over the crowd.
The Sannin looked down to see the toad wallet in his non-bottle hand. Jiraiya grew an evil grin before raising Gama-chan. The amassed partying shinobi all noticed Jiraiya and the room grew silent after a few seconds. They all waited with bated breath for whatever Jiraiya planned to do.
"LET'S DRINK UNTIL THE MORNING!" shouted Jiraiya jovially making it rain with the toad wallet.
A collection of cheers was Jiraiya's answer. It was time to get weird.
(Elsewhere in Konoha)
"DRINK!"
A shouted command from Anko as she rose a shot glass to her lips. Shizuka sat across from her mirroring her actions. The two of them swallowed the blue liquid within as Anko sighed happily. Shizuka did too as the alcohol tasted delicious and made her insides all warm.
Anko could mix a mean drink. Shizuka couldn't even taste the alcohol, to be honest. She could feel it though as she swayed in her seat. Anko smiled at the girl before smacking her lips.
"Ah, so tasty. Let's do another one. Real fast," said Anko pouring herself and Shizuka another one. Anko smiled seeing Shizuka all for it as the two of them sat in Anko's home. The spot for their debauchery. "You alright over there Hokage-sama?"
"Huh, what?" Tsunade perked up from her spot on Anko's couch.
She had a large scarf around her head and large-brimmed sunglasses on her face. A disguise since a Hokage couldn't be seen drinking. As if that'd stop the woman from getting her sauce. Tsunade turned to Anko with a smile at the Jonin's question.
"Yes, yes. I'm fine. I think," said Tsunade as she sat up. When she did, the bottle of sake in her lap shifted which got her attention. She'd forgotten she had that. "Yep, I'm better than fine. Everything's all good over here!"
"I'm glad," said Anko watching Tsunade put the bottle to her lips. While Tsunade chugged her bottle, Anko turned back to Shizuka. The girl had a very relaxed face and red cheeks. Time to see how drunk she was. "So, how big is the gaki? We talking breakfast sausage or Kyubi festival turkey leg?"
"Hehehe, I'm not that drunk Anko-chan."
"Well, let's get you there then! DRINK!" Another shot to the face. Anko and Shizuka both smiled at the taste again. "This is way better than that party Naruto-chan threw. Trust me."
"Mmmm, Naruto-kun, you think he's alright?" questioned Shizuka turning to Anko. She moved too fast as her vision swam. The dizzy girl rested her head softly on Anko's table to make the world stop spinning. Shizuka laughed at her state of body before thinking about Naruto. "I miss him. You think he misses me?"
"Gaki's alright and I'm sure he misses you too. Don't worry, I'll take you to him later tonight," said Anko watching Shizuka smile. Seemed she liked hearing that. "Maybe he'll be just as drunk as you and you two can have drunk sex! It's better than regular sex."
"I don't know what regular sex is like. I haven't done it with him." That was news to Anko.
Didn't those two sleep together? How had Naruto not charmed her pants off yet? The kid was a pervert but had the looks to make his lecherous actions and words work for him. From how he snuck glances at Shizuka, Anko knew Naruto wanted to. So, what was the holdup?
"He's such a gentleman. Doesn't rush me into anything," said Shizuka feeling giddy thinking about him. Very giddy as she smiled slyly. "I want to now though. Very bad. But, we can't have drunk sex. Ero-kun doesn't get drunk."
"Ero-kun(Pervy)?" thought Anko repeating the nickname. The kid was a pervert so, the nickname worked well in this instance. She was more interested in the last part of what Shizuka said. "The gaki doesn't get drunk? And he's Jiraiya-sama's student?" questioned Anko getting a head shake and then nod from Shizuka. No, Naruto doesn't get drunk. And yes, Naruto was Jiraiya's student. "Jiraiya-sama's a drunk like Tsunade-sama. He made the kid a pervert but not a drinker too?"
"No, Ero-kun drinks. The fox keeps him from getting drunk," said Shizuka remembering their training trip days.
Jiraiya always made them drink with him when something happened. They drank if Naruto completed a mission, if he learned a jutsu, if it was Naruto's birthday, if it was Jiraiya's birthday, and also if it wasn't Jiraiya's birthday. Which meant they drank every day. Jiraiya had made Naruto a drinker.
"Ero-kun threw that party but, he can't even really celebrate. I hope he's at least having fun."
"Damn, what a bummer. You should give him a mouth hug later," said Anko getting Shizuka to raise an eyebrow. "That'll really celebrate his Jonin promotion. And probably get you to finally jump his bones Miss hesitant."
"What's a mouth hug?" questioned Shizuka sitting up.
"You've never heard of a mouth hug?" questioned Anko back getting Shizuka to shake her head. Anko smiled and poured two more shots. "Tell me what the gaki's working with and I'll not only tell you what a mouth hug is, but show you how to make the gaki your bitch with it."
That was quite the offer. Shizuka was curious about what a mouth hug was now. It was something that could even make Naruto falter? He was Jiraiya's pupil. Jiraiya made sure he was rock solid when it came to the back and forth with the opposite sex.
Shizuka rarely won their amorous exchanges. And apparently, Anko had a way to amend that. She might have to give the details up on her beau. Before she could, Tsunade made her presence known again.
"A mouth hug is fellatio Shizuka. Anko's gonna teach you that tongue extending jutsu she knows and well, you get what that means," said Tsunade walking to the table. Tsunade put her empty bottle down before grabbing Shizuka's shot. Tsunade downed it before setting it down and turning to Anko. "And the brat's decently sized Anko. At least he was three years ago when I patched him up in that hospital bed." continued Tsunade grabbing Anko's shot. She downed that one too before smacking her lips. She liked the taste of that. "Kid's probably gotten bigger now though. Puberty does that to growing boys. And I would know, I'm a medic."
Shizuka blushed hearing what a mouth hug was. She blushed deeper now knowing Anko's plan to help her own Naruto with it. She was already visualizing it in her head and it made her giggle. She couldn't wait.
While Shizuka giggled softly to herself, Anko grinned having a better picture of her favorite person. She'd have to question Tsunade instead of Shizuka. The medic was very forthcoming with information, unlike the Nadeshiko princess. The Konoha Jonin was about to speak until Shizuka did first.
"Tsunade-sama, you think I can become a Konoha kunoichi? I'm ready now." Anko's eyes widened.
"Sure, tomorrow afternoon. In the afternoon since I have an important morning meeting," said Tsunade glad she remembered that. Shizune was a blessing for writing that on the back of Tsunade's hand. The Kage would have missed it otherwise. "Why now?"
"Nadeshiko kunoichi can't have sex until marriage. I don't believe Konoha has that same restriction."
"How does that answer the quest-oh." Tsunade got it now. Anko smirked as Shizuka smiled slyly. Tsunade just shook her head sadly. "My brat used to be so innocent. Now he's a drinking pervert about to get his first piece of ass," said Tsunade slinking her way to the front door. "Let's finish this already Anko and go get drunk. I need to reminisce on the gaki I used to know."
"Get drunk?! You're talking my language Hokage-sama! Let's go Shizuka-chan," said Anko following after her leader.
"Wait, this wasn't us getting drunk?" thought Shizuka already feeling tipsy.
How were those two fine? They'd been drinking for a while now. If this was just a prelude, what were they really about get into?
Hopefully, Naruto would come to get her soon.
(With Naruto)
Naruto was hopping through trees as he made his way outside of Konoha. The note he'd received earlier had been from Shizune. Apparently, Tsunade was out doing something so, Shizune took command for her.
Being that most of Konoha's available taskforce was intoxicated, Naruto was the only one capable of checking something for her. Not that this was anyone else's anyway. Naruto had set this up on his own.
"The stench of blood is in the air. It's drowning out the other smells in the area. I can't confirm whether or not he was here." thought Naruto as he clenched his fists. He wished he was Kiba. Kiba could have figured this out easily. But, he was Naruto and that's just what it was. "Plus, this guy wouldn't care whether or not I knew he was doing this. He wouldn't hide the bodies. This isn't him but, it still tripped my metric."
Hidan was still on Naruto's list. He was half the reason his favorite girl lost her home. Kakazu was on his list too but Hidan was worst because he nearly killed Shizuka. So, Naruto was hunting him first and hunting him hard.
So hard that he'd set up a way that he'd be alerted about any killings. Naruto knew Hidan's M.O. and hoped it would lead him to the Akatsuki member. The man probably wanted to come for him since he'd interrupted his ritual on Shizuka. Plus, he was Akatsuki and Naruto had a Bijuu they wanted to acquire.
They would have to meet soon. And when they did, Naruto would kick his immortal ass. There was no question in the Jinchuriki's mind. Hidan was nothing to him. But, the man wasn't here.
"Even if this isn't Hidan, someone is killing people trying to draw our attention. Who would do that?" thought Naruto looking for any clues. He didn't search long before his senses picked up someone heading his way. Naruto turned toward the direction the person was coming from. "Why does this feel so familiar?"
The person came walking into view as Naruto's eyes widened. Memories flooded Naruto the moment he saw who it was. How was this guy here? He nearly killed Iruka after manipulating Naruto. There was no way he should be walking free and yet, here he was.
"Mizuki."
"Not Mizuki-sensei anymore? I'm hurt Naruto-kun." came the voice of the man himself. Stepping out of the shadows more, the moonlight showed Mizuki fully. He looked the same if not a little more muscular. "And here I thought I made an impact on your life. How could I be so delusional?"
"Have you been doing this? Killing these people?"
"Of course I have." Hmm, Naruto had a guilty plea but, he wanted a reason.
"Why?"
"Well, how else am I going to test myself? I've grown stronger Naruto-kun and there's no better substitute for humans than humans themselves," said Mizuki getting Naruto to raise an eyebrow. "It's simple really. I killed them because I could and-"
"Alright." Naruto cut off Mizuki because there was no need for any more talking. "Kage Bunshin (Shadow Clone)"
"Ha, this same cheap trick," said Mizuki watching several copies of Naruto appear in the area. Mizuki pulled out a small vial and gulped down the liquid inside. The man's chakra intensified a second later. "It won't work this time. For I'm a different breed these days!"
Naruto rose an eyebrow seeing Mizuki transform. The chakra increase was impressive but the intriguing thing was the tiger-like appearance he was attaining. Fur grew across his body that matched a tiger's tic for tac. He looked like a Bipedal tiger. A very swole tiger that was staring Naruto down predatorily.
"That is pretty cool," said one of Naruto's clones getting the rest of the Narutos to look at him. "What? I'm just saying what we're all thinking."
"That's why you're Boss's least favorite," said one of the other clones getting the first to cry comically.
"Is this kid not even paying attention to me? I just showed him the ultimate transformation!" thought Mizuki watching a third clone console the first clone from the second clone's harsh words. The fourth and fifth clones were both pestering the original Naruto for their rankings as Mizuki was really being ignored. "He thinks he can just ignore me?! I'll show that blasted demon!"
Mizuki rushed Naruto with impressive speed. The rush was so fast that even Naruto's clones were caught off guard. The ex-teacher reached the original Naruto before lashing out with his razor-sharp nails. Naruto's eyes bled red as he ducked the wide-sweeping attack.
"I wasn't ignoring you. You're just not as strong as you think," said Naruto as his foot ghosted toward Mizuki's chin. Mizuki didn't even see Naruto move to counter as the jinchuriki's movements were smooth thanks to his Ryuka. Mizuki was lifted cleanly into the air as Naruto's five clones followed him. "People always talk bad about the clones but, no one's stopped them yet. So, I'll keep using them until the end of time." continued Naruto holding up a palm. Kurama's influence turned the Rasengan he was creating into its unstable, purple variation. "Metsu Rasengan (Destroying Rasengan)"
Mizuki didn't see Naruto charge up the Rasengan as he was now concerned with the boy's clones. Each clone had nabbed a different part of Mizuki who struggled to get them off even as strong as he now was. Too bad for him, the clones were using Kurama's power like their original.
The little boost wouldn't dispel them like a chakra cloak would and was enough to counter Mizuki's own power-up. Two of them had a hold of an arm. There was one on each leg and the fifth one held him around the neck.
The ex-teacher was totally helpless as the original Naruto jumped to finish him. Mizuki saw the volatile chakra ball in Naruto's hand and his eyes widened.
"Goodbye, sensei."
Mizuki was out the moment it touched him.
(Sometime Later)
Naruto walked through nighttime Konoha with Mizuki on his shoulder. Mizuki was back to normal and he had a horrid spiral mark on his stomach. The traitorous chunin looked dead but, Naruto could feel him breathing so he decided to bring him to Shizune. She was in the office considering he could see the light on.
Naruto walked casually up the side of the Hokage's building before stepping in through the window.
"Ero-sennin might be on to something about this window thing." Naruto would remember that the next time he decided to come here.
Shizune turned to him the moment Naruto dropped in as he smiled at her. Throwing the traitorous Chunin on the floor unceremoniously, Naruto groaned. Mizuki wasn't who Naruto hoped he'd be.
"It wasn't Hidan Nee-chan. Only Mizuki. Is the algorithm off? It's the second time it has been wrong," said Naruto not seeing Shizune's face. It was one of worry as Naruto continued. "By the way, I think he's dying from some potion he took. Or that Rasengan I put in his stomach. I don't care since that prick was killing people as a test."
"Then I don't care either but, Naruto-kun," said Shizune getting Naruto to turn toward her. Naruto's eyebrows furrowed at the look on the medic's face. "It's about Shizuka-san."
"Hime? What's up?" questioned Naruto getting on edge. "Did something happen to her with Anko there?"
"Yes, she's...well, she's-" started Shizune before a loud voice sounded out outside.
"Ero-ku~~~n! Where are you?! I want to sit on your face!"
"She's really drunk," said Shizune with a small smile.
Naruto's eyebrows rose as he stepped over to the window. He saw his girlfriend wobbling to stand up straight and looking high and low for him. Next to her was a grinning Anko, unaffected from the night of drinking, and a poorly disguised and drunk Tsunade using Anko as a crutch. Naruto smiled seeing the state his girlfriend and Kage were in.
This was better than what he'd thought when Shizune first spoke of Shizuka. Sneaky of his sister to do such a thing.
"First-time drinkers should never drink with Anko-chan."
"Hime isn't a first-time drinker. It's just, I don't think anyone but Ero-Sennin could put Anko-chan down. And they make you want to try but, you never will."
"Tsunade-sama tries to all the time and never has gotten Anko-chan. She swears she will someday," said Shizune shaking her head. She watched Tsunade hobble into the building alone as Shizune began making her way to her master. "I'm going to go help her. Be sure to take care of your girlfriend Naruto-kun."
"I will nee-chan. Ero-Sennin taught me how to," said Naruto waving goodbye to Shizune. Naruto jumped out the window and landed before Shizuka. A very sauced Shizuka who was looking at him lustfully. "Hey beautiful."
"Hey handsome *hiccup*, what brings you to these time at a parts like this?" questioned Shizuka butchering two words cutely.
"At the moment, you do." Shizuka gravitated to Naruto off Anko and pressed herself to him.
"Mmm, how did I get so lucky?"
"I ask myself the same question." Naruto got Shizuka to smile before he turned hearing Anko speak.
"Wanted to introduce her to Konoha there gaki. Hope you don't mind."
"I don't at all, she decided to go."
"That she did. I'm glad she's here. I like her," said Anko watching Naruto squirm. A drunk Shizuka was handsy it seemed. "I'm glad she'll be a Konoha kunoichi soon. It'll be fun to fight alongside her."
"I won't rush her to make that choice. Nor will I ever ask," said Naruto holding his pants up. Shizuka was steadily trying to take them off. "It's not my decision to make."
"You just don't know. You're quite the factor in her choice," said Anko cryptically.
Naruto had no clue what Shizuka had said earlier. If he was lucky, he'd be shown later tonight. That looked like the case as Shizuka was kissing up and down her man's neck. Anko felt herself wanting to do the same so, the Jonin dismissed herself.
"Now that you've got her and Shizune's got Hokage-sama, I'm off to find my own face to sit on. Maybe Kaka's."
"Kaka's? Kakashi-sensei?" Anko blinked realizing she was tipsier than she thought.
"You didn't hear that," said Anko waving goodbye before blatantly heading toward Kakashi's place.
"Your skin tastes good," whispered Shizuka in Naruto's ear. She'd know considering her mouth had been on it for most of his and Anko's conversation. Shizuka smiled when Naruto scooped her bridal style and began carrying her through Konoha. "You're so hot. If I didn't have a boyfriend, I'd want to have your baby."
"I'm not scared of your boyfriend. He can't beat me in a fight," said Naruto getting Shizuka to shake her head.
"Yes, he can. He's a big, bad Jonin now."
"Is he now?"
"Mhmm. He's so sweet to me too. He'd kick your butt."
"I doubt I'd want to kick my own ass hime."
"Huh?" questioned Shizuka picking her head up. She looked at the man carrying her and found out he was her boyfriend. When did he get here? Shizuka smiled sweetly at him. "Hey handsome."
"Hey again beautiful."
"What brings you to these parts at a time like this?" Shizuka got it correct this time.
She didn't let Naruto answer though as she stole a kiss when he tried to. Naruto tasted the alcohol on her but, the kiss was enjoyable regardless. Whatever she'd been drinking must have been mixed well because her mouth actually tasted good. Shizuka ended the kiss before growing curious.
"Where are you taking me Ero-kun?"
"Back to my apartment."
"Oh, home." Naruto's eyes widened.
"Home?" repeated Naruto lowly turning to Shizuka. She was smiling with her eyes closed as Naruto didn't understand. Nadeshiko was her home. "Hime did you-"
"Yes, I meant home," confirmed Shizuka knowing what Naruto was asking. She reached a hand up to bring Naruto to her. Giving him another kiss, Shizuka smiled even wider. "Wherever you are is where I want to be. I love you Ero-kun." continued Shizuka giving the Jinchuriki another sweet kiss. Shizuka's eyes shined in the nighttime as Naruto couldn't believe what he was hearing. "So please, take me home. My home is with you. It has been for a while. And if it's your small apartment in Konoha with your tiny bed, then so be it."
"Tiny bed?"
"Tiny Tiny." Naruto smiled before nodding his head.
"Home it is then." Shizuka smiled before returning her head to the crook of his neck.
It was a comfortable silence between the lovers the entire way home. Nothing more needed to be said. The silence was broken only when Naruto placed Shizuka on his bed. Not with words though.
Fluff Warning (Not a Lemon or anything but, it's fluffy so, warning)
The sound of Shizuka failing to remove Naruto's pants was the noise that broke the silence. Naruto laughed at her struggles and shook his head. He wanted to but, Shizuka wouldn't be awake much longer. She was very drunk.
"You got to take this dress off Hime. You will be mad at me if I let you let me ruin it. Because I would if this continues," said Naruto creating a clone that headed to the kitchen. Sadly, Shizuka was not paying attention at all. She was still failing at unbuckling his pants. "Hime, the dress."
"No, these pants," said Shizuka pleased when Naruto moved to help her.
"My pants. Your dress," said Naruto which satisfied the intoxicated girl. Naruto lost his pants as Shizuka struggled to get out of her dress. "Let me help you."
Pulling the dress off Shizuka, Naruto felt the girl tugging at his shirt. Shizuka was really wanting to do this. Naruto didn't return her unspoken request as his clone returned. It handed him a pink smoothie before grabbing the girl's dress. The clone put up the dress before dispelling in a poof of smoke as Naruto turned to his girlfriend.
"Shirt, but only if you drink this." Another exchange Shizuka was fine with. She downed the smoothie as Naruto stripped off his shirt. Shizuka cringed at the taste and frowned. Naruto gave her a quick kiss that shifted that frown to a smile as he explained. "It'll keep your head from hurting. Ero-Sennin's hangover prevention smoothie. You never drank enough to need it before but, I'll bet you need it tonight."
"Mmm, come over here," said Shizuka not listening. She pulled Naruto down on the bed and gave him another kiss. Her hands perused over Naruto's body as she purred a command to him. "Give it to me."
"No, you're about to pass out." thought Naruto not stopping the girl from having her way with him.
Why would he do that? Shizuka's hands were soft and her kisses felt nice across his body. And who knew, maybe she wouldn't pass out and they'd actually get busy. Naruto could hope.
Shizuka was straddling the Kyubi Jinchuriki in their making out before sitting up atop him. She put her hands to the back of her bra as Naruto's eyes widened. Shizuka smiled at her boyfriend before speaking to him seductively once more.
"I need help again." She didn't need help at all.
Naruto knew that but indulged her regardless. Naruto easily unhooked her bra as Shizuka leaned over and kissed him hard. The bra was pressed between them, keeping Shizuka's chest covered, before Naruto laughed. Shizuka had actually passed out.
"Well, that was fun while it lasted." thought Naruto.
Naruto resecured his lady's bra and positioned her comfortably on the bed. Naruto then backed up and made his way to the bathroom. He figured he could catch a quick shower before snuggling with Shizuka. Not that he really needed one but, he liked sleeping after a shower.
Naruto stripped fully and let the hot water hit his skin. Naruto put his head under the water for a spell before perking up. Naruto moved his head out and turned to see Shizuka standing behind him. An equally naked Shizuka who was frowning at him.
"I missed you," said Shizuka closing the distance between them. Naruto's body blocked the water for the most part as Shizuka hugged him tightly. "You were gone for so long."
"Really? I've only been gone for two minutes at the most," replied Naruto feeling the girl kiss his chest.
"It felt like forever. I didn't think you were coming back," said Shizuka with a drunken slur. The girl licked the small scar on Naruto's chest before smiling as he closed his eyes. "I don't think I'm ready to go all the way yet. But I could give you a mouth hug if you want Ero-kun."
"Man it's hard not to take her. Ero-Sennin and his rules. If she keeps this up I'm going to have to-" thought Naruto before stopping. He heard Shizuka and didn't know what she was talking about. "Hime, I don't know what-ooooh! That's a mouth hug!"
Mouth hugs were awesome.
Fluff End
(The Next Morning)
Walking along the path to Konoha, a group of women stopped to see quite the spectacle. The Legendary Toad Sannin sat right outside Konoha's walls sound asleep. His head was rested on what looked like a flattened toad. That was already something to see. It didn't help that he was cuddled next to a donkey.
"Hehehe, you don't have to ever ask Hime." The man was talking in his sleep too. This was getting good. "If you think pineapples on pizza is a thing, just wait until you see where I put them this time."
Alright, it was getting to be a bit weird. One of the women walked over to the Sannin and tapped him with her foot. The foot was gentle in its coaxing as Jiraiya slowly awakened. Though he felt like he was still dreaming.
"Did I die last night? Because I must be in heaven with all these beautiful women here looking at me," said Jiraiya popping up into a stand. His stand got the donkey to awaken and take off out of the area. The women before him looked so familiar for some reason. Jiraiya couldn't put his finger on where he knew them from. "What could I do for you ladies? Information, sex, ninja assistance, sex?"
"You're still the same man sensei fell in love with I see Jiraiya-sama," spoke a different woman as Jiraiya looked at her. Jiraiya's eyes widened recognizing her as the woman smiled. "I believe information is all we'll need."
"This is crazy. And yes, please follow me. I know exactly where you all want to be."
Jiraiya turned around and was followed by the group of women. He knew exactly why they were so familiar.
(With Naruto & Shizuka)
"Hime!"
BOOM
A massive explosion rocked the area as dust, debris, and smoke filled the air. Held within strong arms, Shizuka was disgruntled and disoriented from the explosion. She couldn't hear anything due to the loud explosion but could see a fuzzy outline in front of her. Naruto she assumed since he was the last thing she heard before the explosion.
"Naruto-kun," said Shizuka lowly as her senses came back. She was hearing the violent noises around her and saw fighting amidst. Shadowy figures were running amok through Konoha as Naruto was fending them off with numerous clones. He turned to her when she asked him a question. "What's going on Naruto-kun?"
"Ambush. We have to get deeper into Konoha hime. The enemy is-"
BOOM
Another loud explosion rocked the area as Shizuka was thrown out of Naruto's arms. In her flight, Shizuka looked down to see Naruto being skewered by an extremely long blade. He hadn't lost his grip on her. Naruto wouldn't have ever let her go unless it was to save her from also being stabbed.
The thing was, he'd been stabbed and she was watching it helplessly. Shizuka saw his red eyes shift back to blue as he grunted. His eyes eventually closed before he slumped on the blade. No poof to signify a shadow clone and Shizuka's eyes widened.
"Hime."
Shizuka awoke with a start. Breathing heavily, the Nadeshiko princess turned her head up to spot Naruto lying beneath her. Just like he was when she'd fallen asleep last night. His eyes were closed but his hand was comforting as it rubbed circles on her lower back. He could hear her asthmatic breathing and knew something was wrong. Hence his following question.
"Everything okay?"
He knew everything wasn't okay. She knew he knew. She was breathing like she'd run several miles nonstop at full speed. Plus, most people don't ask that question unless they already feel something is amiss.
Asking it is more a courtesy really. Naruto was allowing her the option of telling him so he could potentially help. Or not tell him if it was something she didn't feel like sharing. Her decision in the end.
"Naruto-kun." thought Shizuka putting her hand on his chest. Shizuka felt the hard flesh beneath her fingers and stopped at the faint scar she could see. The same area Sasori had stabbed him. Also where he'd been skewered in her dream. "You're not dead. You're not dead. It was all a bad dream."
When Naruto didn't hear Shizuka respond, he grew worried. Peeking his eyes open, Naruto saw her green ones focused on his chest. Her hand ran along his scar as Naruto understood. She'd probably had another nightmare.
"I'm not going to die Hime. Trust me, I'll be 130 years old before I even consider it," said Naruto softly getting Shizuka to look at him. Naruto patted the girl's back and got her to look him in the eyes. "Don't you worry. I won't ever leave you."
"Promise?" thought Shizuka not trusting her voice.
"Yes, I promise," said Naruto seeing the question in her eyes.
"Promise Promise?" Naruto smiled knowing what to say.
"Yes hime, I promise promise." Those words got Shizuka to climb up her boyfriend and plant her lips on his.
The kiss was intense as Naruto could feel where this was going. Shizuka ended the kiss and smiled at Naruto. She placed her forehead to Naruto's and spoke softly.
"I want you."
"You have me."
"No, I want you." Naruto rose an eyebrow at the different inflection.
"Want Want?"
"Yes Naruto-kun, I want want you."
"No you don't," said Naruto flipping Shizuka over. Kissing along Shizuka's jawline to her neck, Naruto spoke in between each kiss. "You don't. Want me. You're scared. From your. Dream. That's all." Shizuka would have responded but Naruto had hit several spots that made her mind go numb. Naruto stopped and stared down at her with a grin on his face. "Nadeshiko women don't do that before marriage anyway. Wouldn't want to break tradition, would you?"
Naruto had stopped assaulting her neck which in turn brought Shizuka back down to Earth. Hearing what her lover said, Shizuka saw the smile on his whiskered face. Flipping him back over, Shizuka straddled him once more while pinning his arms above his head.
"You already broke tradition when you didn't marry me after beating me."
"Two wrongs don't make a right hime."
"It could if we allow it. Plus, I'll be a Konoha woman this afternoon," said Shizuka kissing Naruto again. Naruto didn't kiss her back and only stared at her. Shizuka thought she'd told him this already. "I asked Tsunade-sama yesterday and she's making it official today. When I said you were my home, I meant it Naruto-kun."
"Hime are you sure though?"
"Yes, I'm sure. I'm sure about everything."
"Are you sure sure?"
Shizuka blinked and found herself firmly pressed against the wall. Naruto had moved her out of the bed and across the room in the span of his question. She was now pinned with her arms above her head as Naruto's eyes glowed red. That's why his voice sounded rougher toward the end of his question. The Kyubi's chakra was in play.
The primal action and assert for dominance riled Shizuka up more. She always thought Kyubi Naruto was sexy and apparently, Naruto knew it. Shizuka was feeling ready simply looking at him. She really wanted him now.
"Give it to me," whispered Shizuka getting Naruto to smile. She wanted Naruto to take her but, he wasn't for some reason. "Please, I want it. I want you."
"I want you too. But not now," said Naruto getting Shizuka to grow curious as he let her arms go. "Sensei is here."
"Sensei?" questioned Shizuka getting Naruto to nod. An eyebrow rose from Shizuka until she heard a perverse giggle. There was no way this was happening again. But it was and that was why Naruto moved them here. Jiraiya couldn't see them from the window. "How long has he been here?"
"He arrived after I put you here," informed Naruto as Shizuka's couldn't hold back her anger.
"JIRAIYA!"
Not only was she incredibly horny, but this was a moment she finally felt ready to have. She'd been incredibly hesitant with Naruto due to her Nadeshiko ways. Then she realized holding on to those things kept her from enjoying all that life, particularly Naruto, had to offer. And sadly, the first shot at that enjoyment was ruined.
"You better have a good reason to be here at...7:52 in the morning. What could you possibly want?" questioned a fuming Shizuka. If Naruto wasn't pinning her to the wall with the lower half of his body, she might have assaulted the Sannin by now. "It better be a damn good reason."
"And good morning to you. Sheesh. No manners I see," replied Jiraiya as a kunai clanged off his toad forehead protector. He would ask her later where she got that kunai and how she managed to hit him without seeing him. For now, Jiraiya had a surprise for her. "I brought you something. Something I'm sure you'll love."
Shizuka was ready to say she didn't care. That would have followed after she kicked the man off the windowsill. Naruto was supposed to be two minutes into having his way with her body. She didn't get the chance to set that plan in motion when a knock was heard. Shizuka quirked an eyebrow as Jiraiya moved into view and nodded his head.
"Please, you can kill me if you think it's not worth it. Go check the door first." Shizuka nodded before looking at Naruto.
"Raincheck?"
"Raincheck. Go check the door," said Naruto smacking her butt to get her moving. Naruto turned to Jiraiya and rose an eyebrow. "You seem sure of yourself. You know she's going to kill you if you're wrong."
Jiraiya hopped over to his student before shaking his head. Jiraiya threw an arm around Naruto before walking him to his bedroom door. Jiraiya forced Naruto to peek out and that's when he saw it. Jiraiya was right. This was worth the interruption in Shizuka's eyes.
"That's Tokiwa, the lady who came and got Hime that one time," said Naruto watching Shizuka hug the woman fiercely. Naruto could see the other girls behind Tokiwa before he turned to his sensei. "You found some of the Nadeshiko survivors Ero-Sennin? How?"
"I didn't find them. They found me after finding you." Jiraiya tossed Naruto a book.
"A bingo book? Wait, they found me with this? I'm in a bingo book?!"
"Yeah kid, welcome to the big leagues. Page 42." Naruto flipped to the page and found an entry about him.

"Wow! I'm in a bingo book."
"Yeah, you are kid. Good on ya," said Jiraiya happy Naruto didn't care. His opponents would be more studied up on him but, it didn't matter. Just because someone knew what to expect didn't mean they could stop it anyway. "I don't know who Jido Benihime is but, that's mighty impressive they know so much about you."
"No, he doesn't. I'm a Jonin, not a Chunin," said Naruto before realizing this bingo book entry was published a week ago. He only became a Jonin yesterday so, of course, it wouldn't be there. But who was Jido Benihime? "I don't know a Jido Benihime though. One ryo of a bounty won't get anyone worth anything to attack me. They only did this to spread my information out. It's just, I've never even heard of a Jido Beni..." Naruto trailed off in his talking as it hit him. Jido Benihime. It was in the name. "Sasuke's an asshole. Jido Benihime. Ji(do Be)nihime. Dobe. I hate him."
"Hmm, guess your old teammate would have the rundown on you from the last fight."
"Yeah, he's smart enough to not reveal everything though. He knows I'd just return the favor."
"Wouldn't be good for him since he's trying to kill his brother still. That guy could turn information like that into a massive advantage," said Jiraiya before turning to peek at the women in the other room. Jiraiya saw Shizuka snapping off question after question and smiled. He had done well. They'd probably be there for a while so, Jiraiya figured he could catch a shower. "Imma use your shower kiddo."
"Yeah sure. You know where it is. You smell like a donkey," said Naruto looking at his stats. Naruto heard Jiraiya enter his bathroom as Naruto's eye twitched realizing something. Sasuke didn't even give him the 30 point total to make him A-ranked. "Oh, I'm kicking his ass the next time I see him. I'll show him B-ranked."
Oh well, he could gripe about that later. For now, he was going to go introduce himself to Shizuka's people. He'd never formally met them and now felt like a pretty good time to do that.
"Maybe I'll put a shirt on first." Probably not smart to introduce oneself half-naked. First impressions did last a lifetime so they say. Now dressed, Naruto walked out into the living room and waved to the women there. "Hello-"
Whatever Naruto planned to say wouldn't be heard considering he vanished in a poof of smoke. The Nadeshiko women all looked perplexed at that as Shizuka smiled.
"That's the guy I was talking about. He'll be back soon. The toads must need him for something."
The Nadeshiko women all nodded their heads as Shizuka turned back to them. They all had a lot of catching up to do.
Thanks for Reading. Enjoy the Omake if you keep going :)
Omake: Training Trip - A Documentary by Uzumaki Naruto
(3 months until return)
"Ryuka!"
"Ryuka."
"No, Ryuka!(Fire Dragon)"
"No, Ryuka. (Flowing Fire)"
An argument had between Naruto and Shizuka over the naming of his technique. Which didn't make sense to Naruto considering, it was his technique. He'd created it so, that meant he could name it whatever he wanted. Apparently, Shizuka didn't share that idea as she jumped at him.
"That name doesn't work Naruto-kun," said Shizuka rushing Naruto to continue their spar.
A spar she was handily losing considering Naruto's reddened eyes. He was utilizing the Kyubi's power to test out how it affected his Seikuken. And the difference was huge. Naruto slipped the girl's straight jab and nailed her with an elbow. Well, placed it next to her head since he didn't want to strike her.
"Hit," said Naruto with a smile. Shizuka tried to knee him in the ribs but, his Ryuka (Flowing Fire; not fire dragon) was too good. Naruto shifted his body across the girl's own to dodge before grabbing the underside of her raised knee. He held the knee up while his other arm slipped behind her back to bring her face to face with him. "Not really a hit but, I think I like this counter."
"...pervert," said Shizuka with a blush. Their position was quite intimate from what Naruto had done. It didn't help that the Kyubi's influence was making his presence all the more alluring. "Kami, just kiss me already."
"Pervert? I'm not as bad as Ero-Sennin. If I was him, I'd have unhooked your bra."
"You still can." thought Shizuka feeling frisky. Kyubi Naruto was making her body feel hot. Then her blush disappeared when she realized something. Naruto was using the Kyubi. "Naruto-kun, I thought you weren't going to use the Kyubi?"
"I wasn't until I put Ero-Sennin on his ass."
"You managed to do that? How?"
"How? Well, with the first jutsu I ever made," said Naruto putting Shizuka's leg down. Naruto stepped back before putting his hands in the ram seal. "Oiroke no Jutsu (Sexy Technique)"
Shizuka's eyes widened when Naruto turned into a beautiful and busty blonde female version of himself. Naruto was wearing a devilishly hot outfit that left little to the imagination. Shizuka was amazed as she walked up to the Kyubi Jinchuriki.
"I can't even tell you transformed," marveled Shizuka examining him. She missed his red eyes glowering at her when she reached both hands up. Shizuka fondled the Uzumaki's chest while shaking her head. "They feel real too. How did you transform this good?"
"Oh, you know," said Naruto as Shizuka didn't know. Nor did Naruto plan to actually tell her. Some jutsu were sacred after all. "And who's the pervert now Shizuka-chan? You can't keep your hands off me."
"Hehehe, you're hot like this. Let me try," said Shizuka with a smirk. Naruto rose an eyebrow seeing the girl step back before holding the ram seal. "Oiroke no Jutsu (Sexy Technique)"
Naruto's eyes bugged out of his head seeing Shizuka copy him. Mainly because she'd copied him much better than anything he could have ever done. One, she was already a sexy female. And two, all she did was strip clothes and use a cloud of smoke to cover her chest and womanhood. She didn't even actually transform.
Naruto found himself drooling before it was lights out. A normal Naruto would have just fainted. Too bad for him, Naruto was using the Kyubi's chakra and it also amped his perverted ways. Naruto's nose bled with enough force to shoot him out of the clearing and through several trees. Shizuka smiled seeing that before smirking again.
"Told you you were a pervert," said Shizuka standing sans clothes. She then realized something. Naruto had been recording this for his documentary. "Welp, deleting that footage too."
As if she'd let her naked body be captured on film. Especially the film of her perverted love-interest. There was just no way.
