"…I must admit that you are not… the type of person… that I am attracted to. Do you understand?"
Tsunade tried to pretend not to. "What do you mean? Is it because you saw my true age before? Or do you prefer a different kind of woman? I can alter my appearance in almost any way with this genjutsu, you know."
"No, it's not that. I just… I… I can't tell you. I'm sorry, Godaime-sama. Please trust me, as one of your Jounins, that there is a reason having nothing to do with you."
"Gai, are you gay?"
"…" He sat down and didn't look at her.
Tsunade slumped in defeat. "I was afraid of this. Unfortunately using this genjutsu to become a man would be going a bit too far for me."
"I think some people suspect it. I guess you hadn't heard, since you're new to the village. I am sorry."
"It's ok… nothing to apologize about." She stood up. "You're right, I didn't know." Didn't believe it, anyway.
"I can still be your friend! They say that people like me are some of the best friends to women!" He tried to give a Nice Guy pose.
"Well… thanks." She paused, then sighed. "I suppose I should be going, though, since this visit is a bit inappropriate now."
"If you wish, Tsunade-sama. I'm sorry, and hope you have a good night."
"Thank you, Maito Gai." She started to leave. She walked out the bedroom door, and down the hall a few paces… then made her next move. Please, Gods and Goddeses of luck, let him be a little bit Bi. She moved back into the doorway and spoke to him again.
"But… have you ever considered trying it with a woman? Just for experimentation's sake?"
Gai looked a bit embarrassed. "*cough* I… really couldn't." She watched his reaction carefully. She didn't sense any real conviction in that statement, just nervousness. The way he acted uncomfortable but stood still and did not look at her almost made her think that he was acting out of obligation. How odd… why? Maybe he felt that somehow he shouldn't be allowed to do this. Gai probably wasn't the type to try new things, was he? But, he might be persuaded, mightn't he? There was still an outside chance.
Tsunade walked towards him seductively. Round Two. "Why not? You're a healthy, manly, good looking person. You could definitely do so if you wanted to, right?"
"Tsunade-sama, please don't. I'm saying that I really couldn't!"
"And I'm saying…" she touched his cheek gently. "…that you could if you wanted to."
He squirmed uncomfortably. "That wouldn't be right! Tsunade-sama, I'm gay."
"So what, Gai? Who says you have to be all one way or the other? I'm not!"
"You're not?" His jaw almost dropped.
Tsunade caressed his neck. "There's no reason why you can't! Come on now, how long has it been since you had a good night in bed?"
"Well… a long time. A few years."
She grabbed Gai and hugged him closely, with her chest to his face. "Come on, let's just go for it then! Once! We're two lustful consenting adults. I have a lot of experience, you know… also, I'm a medic. I have expertise in the human nervous system. I can do some very interesting things. Whose rules would it be breaking? At worst you don't have much fun, and you learn something about yourself."
She had to admit, this was fun. It reminded her of younger, more carefree days before grief. She smiled as an idea occurred to her. "I'll make you a promise, Gai. If I don't make you admit that you had a good time I'll run a thousand laps around Konoha with no bra on!" She had to laugh at herself there. Imagine a Hokage doing such a thing! A real gambler wasn't afraid to bet more than she could afford, though. She would get him yet… she could feel it. "Please… indulge a lady, Gai. I can tell you're conflicted. Let yourself go, and—hmm? Why are you struggling?"
"Mhrr!" His voice was muffled by her bosom.
"What?" She let go of him.
"AIR!" He was blue. He gasped a few breaths and changed to a mere flushed, raspberry hue. "Please be careful with those things, Tsunade-sama!"
"Ehehe… sorry, Gai. I suppose I don't know my own strength sometimes."
"I couldn't breathe in there! Women are…" he was shaken. "So different!"
"But about what I was saying… will you?"
He closed
his eyes, and spoke resolutely. This was
a no. "Tsunade-sama,
I—"
She interrupted him with a
kiss. When she let him go, a long time
after, she smiled and asked, "You were saying…?"
Gai's voice seemed a bit weaker now. "Tsunade-sama, I am sorry… I just—"
She put her arms around him and pulled closer, caressing him thoroughly. She smiled sensuously. "You just?"
"I… really have... no feelings towards women… so—"
She brushed one of her hands near to his groin and channeled a bit of electricity into his nervous system. He shuddered. She leaned against him and continued to stroke.
"Please… you're not making this easy."
"I'm not trying to." Tsunade slipped her top from around her shoulders and held him closely, laying him back. One arm around his shoulders and the other around his waist holding his behind firmly, she slipped her tongue into his mouth for a few seconds. "Are you… so sure the answer is no?"
For a second he tottered on the brink, tense with impossible indecision. Then, he finally broke. Under the bombardment of Tsunade, the world's most beautiful and powerful kunoichi, the Proud Green Beast's one-sided sexuality was finally coaxed open. He held her back and kissed her without restraint.
Tsunade was ecstatic. Double victory! "Does this mean yes, Gai?"
He stood up, full of energy. "Yes… Tsunade-sama, Fifth Hokage of the Hidden Leaf, I say yes! I will give you every ounce of my strength! I was worried that I might not be able to satisfy a woman because I am normally attracted only to men, but I see now that I must have been wrong. If it's even humanly possible, I will serve you! My years of hard work have kept youth's vigor alive in me, and I will give you every possible sensation, for as long as you like! I will make love to you, touch you, hold you, dance for you, anything you like! The Proud Green Beast will stop at nothing to bring you joy and satisfaction! Prepare for the night of your life! You can count on me—if I fail to make you happy, I will break a hundred large rocks with my penis! It's a promise!" He struck a nice-guy pose, looking all the more comical for the bulge in his bodysuit.
Outside, his words carried enough for trained shinobi ears. Three jounins simultaneously contorted with shock.
Kurenai spoke in an awed tone. "She's some sort of demon…"
"Next time, we make her a bet that I'm gay," said Kakashi.
Author's Note: There is an adults-only version of this story on adultfanfiction.net in the Naruto section. Go check it out if you're old enough and want to. Warning: that version of this story has a lemon. That's the Chapter 5 that is missing from this version, and it details… well, what happens next. It's entirely unnecessary to read it, and you probably shouldn't. From a story point of view, this chapter could almost just as well be condensed into a single short sentence: "They did stuff." Why I actually wrote it out… well, I guess I'm just a sicko. If you, too, are a sicko, feel free to go and enjoy the tingly feeling of undiluted citrus burning and melting away your brain's decency and shame centers.
