A/N: Apologies for the long wait on this chapter. My muse is a fickle bitch, with a very short attention span.
I ended up bouncing around on multiple ideas and projects which ended up delaying me. I know that I have a problem with consistent updates and failing to finish stories. Please don't rub salt into it. I get more than enough IRL. At any rate, hope you enjoy this chapter, and as always reviews, feedback and constructive criticism is always welcome.
Thank you for your patience and support. All of your encouragement and amazing reviews are a huge help. :)
Chapter Eleven: A normal day? (Part one.)
Hiruzen Sarutobi grimaced deeply as he sat in his office as he read over the reports that had been sent to him from both the Torture and Interrogation Division and from Hiashi Hyuuga. Starting with the former, Anko reported in explicit detail the things she did to Iruka during her 'sessions' with him… most everything involved… well… the Sandaime didn't wish to speak of it or think on it any more than needed.
Anko also reported that she had pumped Iruka for any potential information and he repeatedly claimed that he had no idea who was paying him, and after a Yamanaka memory scan, it was proven that he was telling the truth. An unfortunate dead-end, though it was likely that this unknown benefactor would sooner or later rear his head at some point. On another matter, Mizuki had been questioned as well and stated that he knew nothing of the money that his partner had been receiving and claimed that there was 'nothing unusual' in his behavior over the years.
Inoichi requested to perform a quick memory scan in search of any clues that Mizuki perhaps overlooked or forgot about… and then quickly became defensive and refused. This seemed suspicious so Inoichi performed the memory scan anyway… and discovered that Mizuki had been in collusion with Orochimaru. From what the Yamanaka clan head could tell, Mizuki had been keeping an eye on the clan heirs, most especially Sasuke Uchiha for the snake Sannin and had been concocting a plan to steal the Forbidden Scroll as well
Finally, Hiashi reported that the Hyuuga Elders were all dead, slain by the hands of an entity known as Ash Landers. The witness of the slaughter and former accomplice of the killer having been abandoned swiftly after she raised the alarm by firing a gunshot. Currently she was in protective custody, recovering from long-term Chakra exhaustion.
So far, she had proven to be very cooperative in sharing what she knew of her former partner, and quite willingly submitted to a very thorough Memory scan with no resistance, unfortunately, she had no idea where he would flee to, and it didn't help that she knew nothing of the terrain or geography of the Shinobi Nations. For now it was a dead end, but she confirmed that her ex-partner would indeed turn up at some point or other.
For now, Hiruzen had other concerns since his village was becoming increasingly mired in corruption. He had initially and naively believed that said corruption was primarily within the Civilian and Elder Councils, most chiefly from Kizashi Haruno and Danzo who headed their respective councils. Unfortunately it seemed that greed and corruption ran much deeper than just the politicians.
Iruka and Mizuki proved that after their exposure. Now that Hiruzen thought about it… the late Fugaku Uchiha also proved it after his failed coup attempt, which had unfortunately been put down hard by Itachi's hand resulting in the Uchiha's Genocide. While the Sandaime suspected that it was on Danzo's orders, he couldn't prove it, even a memory scan proved fruitless on the Warhawk, though Hiruzen suspected that Danzo had his own memories manipulated to give himself an alibi. But again… no proof.
"Kami, I miss the days when I was just a rank-and-file Shinobi. It used to be so much simpler. I did the mission, passed on my reports to my superiors and let them sort out the rest. As Hokage… I'm all I have. Even worse, the village is slowly rotting and falling apart from within. How can a village function if one doesn't know who to trust and who not to trust?" He lamented to himself as he smoked from his pipe.
Every single day he wished that he'd have been the one to seal away the Kyuubi on that night. He wished he could have done it as a final service to the village, he wished that he could have done it so that at least one of Naruto's parents could have survived. Minato died so young, his tenure as Hokage barely even getting started before his untimely death.
And Kushina… poor Kushina. A woman so fierce and ferocious and yet so loving. She would have been a good mother to Naruto… and anyone who mistreated him wouldn't live past the hour if she had her way.
If only at least one of them had survived then Naruto would have led a very different life. One with a proper childhood and parentage. To be honest, Hiruzen felt a bit ashamed for exposing the boy to the slave markets, but it was all he could think of at the time to ease his pain and loneliness. Still, it seemed that the results were quite positive since it appeared that his slaves and servants had taken a shine to him very quickly.
The aged Hokage couldn't help but wonder how Naruto will develop when he becomes a Shinobi. It would be quite interesting to see. His musing was interrupted by someone knocking on his office door, prompting him to call out for the visitor to come in.
When the door opened, two women walked inside who wore skin-tight bodysuits that left nothing to the imagination. Hiruzen immediately recognized them as Taimanin, Kunoichi who bore no allegiance to any village or nation but were an independent organization unto themselves that acted as peacekeepers. Some say they had past affiliations with Nadeshiko, though this was but an unproven rumor.
They were well-respected and quite formidable in their own right, most especially Asagi Igawa, their leader and a rather fearsome woman who was now standing before the Sandaime himself along with her sibling Sakura Igawa.
"Hokage-sama, we received your summons. Something about the organization Nomad?" Asagi asked in a professional manner as she cut right to the chase.
Hiruzen cleared his throat and nodded as he replied "Yes, that's correct. For reasons unknown, Nomad seems to have become increasingly involved in the Slave trade and has purchased a large number of slaves. All females and all D-ranks. We aren't sure why yet, but we strongly suspect it can't be for good reason, especially given their reputation. Additionally… can I mention that you arrived much faster than I anticipated?"
"Ah. Yes. We were actually in the neighborhood as it were. We were tailing two high ranking members of Nomad at the time. They spoke with some locals, infiltrated the Hyuuga estate for a brief period and then quickly left. As of yet, we haven't been able to determine their objective." Asagi explained and then produced some photographs of the aforementioned suspects.
Hiruzen accepted the photos and began flipping through them, trying his best to suppress a nosebleed due to the highly revealing outfits the two women in the pictures wore. "They are called Ingrid and Oboro. We have been enemies for a long time now. They seemed to be scouting for something when we took those pictures, but as I mentioned before, we don't know their endgame." Asagi explained, making the Sandaime hum to himself thoughtfully… until he stopped at one picture that almost stopped his heart.
The forms of Ingrid and Oboro were talking to a young man… who was none other than Naruto Uzumaki. "Hokage-sama? You okay there? You look like you just saw a ghost." The younger Agawa sibling spoke in concern.
The Hokage's eyes flicked between the picture and the sisters as he briefly weighed his options… and ultimately decided to put a little faith in them for Naruto's safety. "In a way, I did. You see this young man in this picture?" He asked as he pointed towards Naruto's form in the photo, prompting the siblings to nod.
"He is Naruto Uzumaki. Our resident Jinchuuriki." The Hokage surmised for them… and the pieces quickly fell into place for the Agawa siblings as they connected the dots.
"Holy shit… a freaking Jinchuuriki. If Nomad gets their hands on one of those…" Sakura muttered and then left the sentence hanging as she exchanged a look with her sister, to which Asagi gave a nod of confirmation.
"Indeed. It would be disastrous. Hokage-sama, thank you for your cooperation and confidence. The Taimanin shall endeavor to resolve the situation as quickly as possible. Naruto-san will not come to harm under our protection." Asagi promised as she gave a respectful bow to the Sandaime with her sister following suit.
"I appreciate that. For now, we should see about making needed arrangements for Naruto's protection in case Nomad does try something. I advise sticking close to him, but not too close that he'll feel uncomfortable…. Fortunately I think I may have an idea on how to keep an eye on him." Hiruzen spoke, earning the attention of the Taimanin.
What Hiruzen had in mind would require their cooperation, but if this worked out, then he could be solving a number of issues in one clean stroke. With any luck, they could also nip this Nomad business in the bud during the process as well.
Meanwhile. Uzumaki residence.
"Here you go Naruto-sama. Enjoy!" Spoke the form of Hinata as she was about to feed Naruto his snack… only for a smacking sound to be heard as the Hyuuga yelped in pain, her breasts and butt bouncing a bit as her body jumped from the blow.
"Wrong." Spoke the voice of Ran-Mao in a stern tone, holding a black leather paddle in her hands as Hinata whimpered slightly from the stinging sensation in her buttocks while Naruto himself sat with a somewhat confused expression.
"What'd she do wrong this time Ran-chan?" The whiskered teen asked… apparently the golden eyed woman had taken it upon herself to be Hinata's mentor, instructing her in 'slave etiquette' and how to be a 'proper slave.' He wasn't sure how legit this was but Hinata herself seemed ready to learn and accepted without hesitation.
Unfortunately… Ran-Mao was extremely strict and almost spartan-like with Hinata's 'training.' The Chinese woman spoke in a flat voice "Portion size. Too big. Master could choke. Bad. Forgot to blow on food. Must cool down. Failure."
"Yes! I understand Sensei. I'll do it correctly next time. Thank you for your instruction." Hinata spoke politely with a smile that was so pure her face seemed to sparkle a bit. As far as the Uzumaki was concerned… she did have a good work ethic.
"How about we try something else? Ran-chan, maybe you should show Hina-chan again." He suggested causing both slaves to give a quick 'Hai' as Ran-Mao gently pushed Hinata to the side and then quickly set herself in Naruto's lap.
"Watch. Observe. Learn." The Martial artist spoke softly and began to feed her master. Her every movement seemed graceful as she collected a suitable portion of his meal, gently blew on it to cool it down and then deposited it into the Uzumaki's waiting mouth while Hinata watched.
Naruto chewed for a few seconds before swallowing, the process was repeated as Ran-Mao fed him another bite. While in the background, Hannah seemed to be making a fresh pot of tea and cleaning the dishes while Chloe was cleaning the bathroom.
In the living area, Ruu-Ruu, who had already finished helping with the laundry, seemed to be captivated by the television as she scrolled through the various channels… for some reason she had a strong liking for nature documentaries and animal rescue shows. Perhaps it spoke to her pure and almost animalistic nature.
Even though everyone had their own apartment(s) to sleep in as needed, everyone preferred to hang out in his own apartment, not that he really cared since they were free to do so if they chose to. Naruto then took notice that two particular elves seemed to be missing.
"Oi. Anyone seen Olga and Celestine?" Naruto asked in slight concern, in response to his question, Chloe popped her head out from the bathroom and answered "I think they said something about collaborating on a certain project."
The whiskered teen hummed quietly to himself and gave a quick 'thanks' to Chloe. A certain project eh? That sounded important. He couldn't help but wonder what it was. Still, he supposed that they would tell everyone when it was finished and he didn't really want to spoil the surprise anyway.
He only shrugged to himself and finished his snack as Ran-Mao put the last bit into his mouth. The golden eyed woman then turned towards Hinata and spoke to her "Learn well. Train well. Obey well. Good slave."
"Yes! I got it!" Hinata spoke with a warm smile, prompting Ran-Mao to pat her on the head as if praising her for her willingness to learn.
The Uzumaki got up from his seat and left both Hinata and her 'Sensei' to begin practicing yoga stretches as he walked over towards Hannah and asked her "Hey Hannah, I need you in my room whenever you have a minute." He requested and scratched the back of his neck.
The brown skinned maid gave a quick nod of her head as she observed her master enter his room, he quickly shed his upper clothing before closing the door behind him leaving Hannah to blush a bit. She knew what he meant, what he wanted. It was now her time to join him in his bed and service him. She would do so gladly since she would have died without him.
Fortunately she had the perfect dress for the occasion. She quickly retreated to a nearby room and swiftly changed into her sexy maid outfit that she had bought earlier. To be frank, she was actually looking forward to wearing it and getting it dirty. When she was ready, she dutifully approached her master's bedroom door and knocked on it, prompting her master's voice to call out 'Come in.
She entered his room and found him sitting at the edge of the bed with a pair of mirrors in hand and some supplies he had acquired for what he called the sealing arts. He looked up at her and spoke "Thanks for coming Hannah. I kinda need your help with this… and why are you dressed in that? Was there something wrong with your other dress?" He asked in a clearly oblivious tone, obviously unaware of why she was wearing her more sexy maid outfit.
Hannah felt a rush of heat flood her cheeks as embarrassment filled her since she misunderstood his request, she then waved him off and spoke "Erm. Never mind that Naruto-sama, how may I be of assistance?"
The blonde shrugged his shoulders and answered "I'm having a hard time finding that damn tracking seal Iruka used to monitor me. I want it removed in case there's anyone else that can use it, like whoever was paying Iruka under the table." At the end of his explanation, the maid nodded her head in understanding since it would be prudent to remove it.
That would explain the mirrors, he was likely trying to use them to find the seal but couldn't see properly. "Please excuse me, Naruto-sama." She spoke as she took a seat behind him and started her search for any signs of the seal in question. It was only a matter of figuring out where it could be where no one would take notice.
She suspected that it could be hidden somewhere in his hair or along the hairline just out of sight. She began to run her fingers along Naruto's scalp, gently brushing aside his golden locks to search for any signs of the seal. She searched as thoroughly as possible, trying her best to let no detail escape her… then she noticed something along the hairline just behind his right ear. It was extremely small, and could easily be mistaken for a small mole at first glance.
But upon closer inspection, there appeared to be writing of some kind… it was a Kanji for 'Locate'. Jackpot! "I believe I have found your tracking seal." Hannah announced with a hint of pride.
She tapped the spot with her finger making the blonde smirk as he spoke "Pretty carefully placed in a spot where I wouldn't be able to see it and most people wouldn't really notice if they weren't looking for it." He muttered at the end and reached for a scrap of paper with the Kanji for 'Dispel' on it.
"Slap that seal over the locator one. Should erase it in no time." He instructed, prompting the maid to give a quick 'Hai master' and obeyed as she accepted the paper from him and placed it over the tracking seal. There was a small hissing sound for a brief moment, she then removed the dispelling seal for her master and found that the tracker had been successfully removed.
"Congratulations young master. The seal is now gone." She spoke, a small smile tugging at her lips as the Uzumaki gave a relieved sigh. His time studying the sealing arts having proved fruitful. Unfortunately, he suspected that the tracking seal was of a subpar level, the person who tagged him with it likely hadn't planned on him ever actually finding it. Either this person was extremely careless, had grossly underestimated him, or maybe both.
Whatever the case, that was one problem solved for now at least. The issue of Iruka's mysterious benefactor could only be shelved for now since there were no further leads at this time. "Does something trouble you, Young master?" Hannah asked him, taking note of his expression that showed he was in deep thought.
"Just thinking. Don't worry about it." He responded dismissively since there was no use worrying over something that was beyond their control. It was very likely that, in the future, the person that paid off Iruka would reveal himself. Then they could get more answers.
"Very well. If you wish for anything further, Young Master, do not hesitate to ask." She spoke while pushing her breasts together, making them more pronounced which earned a small blush from her master since he quickly got what she was hinting at, which would also explain her rather revealing dress as well. Why he didn't realize it sooner, he wasn't sure. He supposed he was still, in some ways, a dense idiot.
A knocking sound came from the door followed by the voice of Ruu-Ruu who shouted "Oi! You two fucking in there or not?! Ruu-Ruu wants to talk to Naruto-sama! It's important!"
Naruto quirked an eyebrow since he thought that Olga had put a silencing spell on his room, unless it was programmed to deactivate itself if someone knocked in order to gain his attention. He shrugged and decided not to worry too much over the details as he called out "It's okay. You can come in Ruu-chan."
With his permission given, the door opened allowing the dog-girl entry as she stepped foot inside. A small frown on her face as she noted that they were still dressed… mostly. Plus there was no smell of sex in the air either. "Oh boo. Ruu-sama was hoping to walk in on something and see Naruto-sama's dick. Ran-chan was telling Hina-chan how big it was." The Halfling spoke in a nonchalant manner, making Naruto blush a bit while Hannah hid an amused smile behind the back of her hand.
"Riiiiight. We weren't really doing that kinda thing. We just got that tracking seal off of me. So then, was that all you needed, Ruu-chan? Or was there something actually important that you needed?" The blonde asked as he replaced his shirt, his question making the orangette nod her head rapidly.
"Uh-huh! Uh-huh! You promised we'd send some letters to inform our friends that we were all okay." She spoke, reminding the Uzumaki of the promise he had made the other day which made him snap his fingers in realization. He remembered that Celestine's other friends and allies were still in the wind and searching for her. They were undoubtedly worried sick for her and Ruu-Ruu so some good news would help put them at ease and help them find their lost friends as well.
"You're right Ruu-chan. I guess I forgot after that whole debacle with Iruka. We can go take care of that promise right now if you want." He spoke reassuringly which made the cap wearing girl smile brightly and give a thumbs up as her tail wagged around wildly out of pure joy.
"That's okay! We had to beat up a bad guy, so it's fine! Ruu-sama is looking forward to seeing her friends again!" She spoke happily as she bounced on her feet, making her signature shawl fly open each time she descended exposing her small body and chest.
"Let's also take this is as a chance to get you some proper clothes too. That shawl of yours doesn't cover much." The Uzumaki pointed out, earning a disappointed groan from the small dog girl.
She puffed her cheeks as some tears brimmed around the corners of her eyes as she grumbled "Ruu-sama hates clothes. They're so stuffy. But Ruu-sama won't disobey Naruto-sama." The whiskered teen chuckled and patted her head, making her tail wag again at full force from the affectionate gesture.
The Jinchuuriki then called out "Oi! Me and Ruu-chan are heading out. Anyone wanna come with?" He asked at the end in case anyone wished to join them. Both Ran-Mao and Hinata declined so that they could continue focusing on the latter's training. Hannah also politely declined so that she could tidy up and take care of some other chores that needed to be finished.
Chloe however, stretched out her limbs and replied "I'll come with you. I could go for a nice walk anyway." The Uzumaki nodded as the trio headed towards the front door to leave, he opened it up and allowed the girls to exit first before following them out and shutting the door… where they discovered a white envelope with Naruto's name on it having been taped to the door.
"What's this?" He muttered as he ripped the envelope off of his door and opened it, gaining looks of curiosity from the girls who watched with interest.
"Ooh! What's that? What's that? Is it one of those confession letters?" Ruu-Ruu asked as she tried to look at the letters' contents, but the Uzumaki only raised a lone finger to tell her to wait.
He pulled out a piece of paper and found that it was written with near-perfect calligraphy which read as 'Naruto Uzumaki, you have dishonored my family for the last time. Return what you have stolen or there will be consequences.'
"What is this?! Who would dare accuse the young master of thievery?" Chloe spoke angrily, knowing full well their master hadn't stolen anything.
"Yeah! They're also threatening Naruto-sama! I will find this person and I will bite them, and they will hate it!" Ruu-Ruu spoke while gnashing her teeth for extra emphasis as she hefted her battleaxe.
Naruto for his part scratched the back of his head and replied "I certainly don't remember having 'dishonored' anyone, much less stolen anything. This might be some kind of weird prank."
"Don't be so sure Naruto-sama. We shouldn't discount this threat. It would be best if we remain on guard for now." The Half-Elf spoke as she placed a hand to her side where her new bull-whip was resting. If anyone dared lay a hand on the young master, she would use her whip to tear the skin and flesh from their bodies.
The whiskered teen grudgingly nodded and pocketed the note before they continued on towards the shop that Tenten worked at. It would have everything they needed for their errand today, plus it wouldn't hurt to browse at any weapons that were available. Tenten knew her weapons and her craft, that was for certain.
They walked at a comfortable pace, taking in the sights of the village with Naruto answering any questions that Ruu-Ruu may have about the village since she was still learning about the place. Every so often, some passerby would give the boy or his companions strange looks, though for the girls said looks seemed rather lustful in nature.
Naruto could acknowledge that there was no harm in looking at a cute girl… but why did so many people in Konoha have to be so damn creepy about it? It also irked him very much that they were looking at HIS girls that way.
If anyone tried to put their hands on the girls, there would definitely be hell to pay. "Ooh! What're those? There's lots of neat stuff here." Ruu-Ruu shouted gleefully as she rushed up to a merchant's stall and began looking at various odds and ends that she had never seen before.
The blonde's joined her with an amused expression as they looked at some things as well. It wasn't like they were in any kind of hurry at the moment anyway so it wouldn't hurt to have a look around. Who knows? They may find some quite interesting.
"What's this thing? It looks like a ducky! It looks cute!" Ruu-Ruu asked as she held up a small rubber duck that looked like it was wearing a white sailor uniform and carefully inspected it with a large smile.
Naruto smirked and replied "That's a rubber duck. It's a toy that you can play around with while taking a bath. If you squeeze it, it'll squeak." At that, the orangette gave a fascinated 'ooh' sound and gave the toy a quick squeeze, earning a squeak from it that made the Halfling's eyes sparkle.
"It's so cute! Can I have it please?" She asked, prompting the blonde to oblige her request. After paying for the duck, Ruu-Ruu clutched it tightly to her small chest and giggled happily as her face beamed brightly while repeatedly thanking the blonde for the gift.
Naruto then glanced over and Chloe who seemed to be looking at a short sword. She picked it up and inspected it a bit and muttered "Looks a lot like the one I used to have back home." She then flicked the blade a few times and grimaced at its low quality. She guessed that this sword was used more for decoration than for fighting. She replaced the blade back to where it belonged while her master rubbed his chin, as he made a mental note to ask Tenten if she had any short swords for Chloe to use.
"Feeling nostalgic Chloe?" The blonde boy asked as he gestured towards the fake sword, which earned a small blush from the Half-Elf.
"A little. My old sword was taken from me after I had been captured. I was just thinking of perhaps getting a replacement, with your permission young master." She asked with a small blush while crossing her arms, the Uzumaki giving her a smirk.
"No problem. We can ask Tenten for one. But why a short sword? A bigger one would give you a longer reach right?" He asked out of curiosity since he wasn't an expert on weaponry or their full applications… something he hoped to one day correct if and when he ever took up a weapon of his own.
"True. But short swords are lighter, easier to handle, most especially in small spaces, and can be more easily concealed under a cloak or something." Chloe clarified earning a nod from the Uzumaki since that made sense to him.
With that done, they continued on their way towards Tenten's shop. As they walked Naruto spoke "I wonder where Celestine and Olga have been today. Didn't you mention something about them working on a 'certain project' Chloe?" At his question, the Half-Elf hummed in thought before giving a small shrug.
"That's what they said, but they wouldn't tell me what it was." The brown skinned woman replied as she played with her signature ponytail for a few moments since she too was curious about that.
"Ooh! What if they're experimenting with dirty stuff together?" Ruu-Ruu spoke with a saucy grin making both blondes blush. For such a bubbly and innocent looking girl… it seemed she also had a naughty side to her… or maybe she was just jumping to conclusions… or both. It was really hard to tell at the moment.
"Don't be silly! Olga-sama would never lower herself to engaging in relations with that fat… wait a second… didn't Olga-sama mention something about trying out something with Celestine-san?" Chloe mumbled that last part to herself, becoming increasingly unsure now that she had certain mental images flying through her mind.
"I don't think those two have that kind of relationship… unless they're practicing something to include me in it." Naruto mused, earning a dark glare from the Half-Elf as she brandished her bull-whip and snapped it a few times in her hands.
"You would want that, wouldn't you?" Chloe spoke with a menacing glare, making Naruto gulp and sweat-drop. What the hell was she so mad about? He'd already had sex with the both of them already so how was a three-way gonna change anything? Still… he was afraid that if he said anything, regardless of what it was, that it would invoke some kind of Divine Feminine Fury.
He glanced ahead and sighed in relief when he pointed out "Hey look! We're at Tenten's shop!" The Half-Elf glanced up and noticed that they were now but a few steps away from the shop entrance which seemed to placate her. The trio entered the shop and found it to be completely empty… and apparently missed the 'closed' sign that was hanging off the door.
"Huh. Seems business is kinda slow these days." Naruto mused aloud and took note that Tenten wasn't behind the desk as she usually was. Most probably she had gone to the bathroom or was taking care of something in the back room.
"Chloe? Can you help Ruu-chan find some clothes she might like to wear? I'm gonna wait for Tenten at the desk." The Uzumaki spoke, prompting the blonde Half-elf to nod as she guided the orangette over to the clothing area to help find her more appropriate apparel.
The Jinchuuriki approached the front desk and then quickly pushed the service bell as he waited patiently for Tenten to appear. After a few long moments there was no apparent sign of her approaching the desk nor was there any verbal reply. Wherever she was, she probably couldn't hear the bell. As he earlier suspected, she might be in the bathroom.
He waited for a bit longer but still there was no sign of the weapons expert, so he decided to check in the back for her to see if everything was all right since he remembered her face seemed quite red the last time they were here. Hopefully she hadn't caught something nasty. He made his way over towards the back area to look for her. He stopped for a moment when he heard the sounds of moaning coming from what appeared to be a storage room.
Growing curious, he approached and could almost swear that the moans were of a sexual nature… his guess was proven correct when he peeked through the cracked doorway and found Tenten in a rather… compromising position. She had removed her pants which exposed her smooth legs and firm buttocks as she rode a pair of dildos that seemed to have been bolted to the seat of the chair she was currently balancing on.
She bounced her hips up and down as they sex toys filled both her ass and pussy while she gave an aroused moan. "Fuck me Naruto-kun! Fuck me in my slutty little holes! Which do you like better, hmm? My tight little pussy or my steamy and hot tomboy ass?" She groaned, her words making the blonde boy in question blush neon red.
He never would have expected that Tenten thought of him… in that way. Now it kinda made sense why she reacted the way she did on his previous visits, she was most likely day-dreaming and fantasizing during those times. "You like that don't you? You like fucking your little tomboyish bitch, huh? I'll do anything you want, just keep this our little secret, okay?" She moaned out as she bounced her ass harder, making it shake and ripple each time she brought her hips down.
Naruto for his part was unsure if he should announce her presence, or wait for her to finish… either way things were going to be very awkward. Before he could make a final decision, a voice suddenly rang out from behind him "Oi! Naruto-sama! Whatcha looking at?!" The sound of Ruu-Ruu's voice suddenly shouting from behind the blonde made him jump and yelp in surprise as he stumbled forward, making him stumble inside the storeroom where Tenten was having her little 'session'.
He slowly looked over towards Tenten's direction and found her frozen stiff, her eyes wide like saucers making her appear like a deer caught in the headlights. Her expression was that of pure horror as her skin paled to a ghostly white color. Tenten's mouth opened and closed a few times as she tried to form words, but couldn't find any. She knew she had been caught in the act, and there was no doubt that the Uzumaki had heard what she was saying.
"This… is exactly what it looks like." Tenten confessed in defeat, a small pout on her face as she lifted herself up making the juice soaked sex toys slip out of her holes, her face a deep crimson color as she looked over to the side in shame and embarrassment.
"Err… did Ruu-chan do something bad? The atmosphere's pretty awkward now." Ruu-Ruu asked with a frown, her master rubbed the back of his head since he seemed unsure of how to answer at the moment. He then spoke in a kind voice "Don't worry about it Ruu-Ruu, I just need to talk to Tenten right now. Can you give us a bit?"
The mini-dog girl nodded and went back towards the shopping area, leaving both the Uzumaki and weapon user alone. The whiskered teen was silent for a moment as he awkwardly scratched one of his whisker marks and spoke "So… uhh… how long have you been crushing on me for?" He asked since that was the only question that came to mind at the moment.
Tenten pursed her lips and replied "A long while. You were always nice to me back at the Academy. I remember once when some kids made fun of me for focusing on the usage of weapons. You said to them, and I quote 'There's no 'one way' to be a Shinobi, everyone brings their own skills and techniques to the table. So it's up to everyone to do the best they can to support their comrades and village'.
Those words stuck with me ever since. Whenever you came to me specifically for your weapons and other needs, it made me feel special, like you needed my help and that you could trust and rely on my work, which made my feelings grow stronger. However, I never expressed my feelings because I thought that maybe you weren't interested in a tomboy like me, or that maybe you had someone else you had feelings for… and then there was that whole thing with the slaves you own now… I thought that maybe you didn't need me in your personal life with them tending to you."
At the end of her explanation, the Jinchuuriki hummed in thought before replying "I guess I can't blame you for thinking that. It's been a big adjustment for me owning slaves, but to me, they're slaves in name only. They kinda became my family. If I had known of your feelings… well… I certainly wouldn't want to exclude you from my life under any circumstances since you mean a lot to me Tenten, even if I'm not good at properly conveying my feelings sometimes."
At his words, the bun haired girl blushed and replied "Then, you mean..?" At her unfinished question, the blonde gave a small nod and a broad grin.
"Yep. If you wanna get involved with me, I'd be happy to accept your feeling. But I gotta warn you… you're not the only one aiming for my heart. I'm pretty sure the other girls have similar feelings." He responded with a cheeky grin.
"So basically your life has become a harem manga or something?" Tenten asked with a snarky expression, which made the whiskered teen chuckle a bit since that wasn't untrue.
"Well, whatever. At least things will be interesting and I'll be getting a piece of you for myself… still… with a big heart like yours, it's no wonder girls are swooning and falling hard for you." The weapon user spoke with a teasing smile, making the blonde shrug in an unsure gesture, however she did make a solid point there. His kind hearted nature seemed to have tugged at the heartstrings of a number of girls lately.
"By the way… how'd you get into the store? Didn't you see the closed sign?" She asked with a raised eyebrow, her question making the blonde boy tilt his head in confusion.
"Closed? Why would the store be closed? I didn't see any sign. Also, the door was unlocked." He responded making the bun-haired girl snap her fingers upon realizing she hadn't locked the door.
"Ah. I guess I forgot to lock the door. The store is closed today so that maintenance and cleaning can be done on the weapons and other merchandise… and well… I guess I decided to try and scratch a certain itch while I was alone in the store… please don't tell anyone about this. I could get in a lot of trouble." She pleaded at the end since this could cost her her job at the store, and would put a major black mark on her record which could damage her reputation as a Kunoichi.
"I understand. I won't tell." He promised, he then took notice of a somewhat naughty expression on the tomboyish girl's face as she sauntered over to him and then cupped his crotch in her hand as she gave a rather saucy smile.
"You know… I guess this makes me your slave too, in a way. You have the power to blackmail me into doing anything you want. I won't have any choice but to obey. I don't have any choice but to say 'yes' to anything you want, within reason." She spoke and leaned in closer and planted a chaste kiss on his cheek.
Tenten was being unusually forward now, was this whole blackmail business some kind of fetish for her? Part of some kind of fantasy maybe? He wasn't sure, but he decided to play along. "It would seem so. Best behave yourself unless you want me to spill your dirty secret." Deciding to be a little bold, he gave her bare ass a quick smack, making her jump a bit, but then give a pleased grin.
"Anytime you want me, just say the word." She whispered in a husky voice. While it was very tempting for the blonde to take her right here and now, he was currently on business.
"Will do, but for now, I have other things to tend to first. Came here to do some shopping." He responded, earning a nod of understanding from the brunette, she felt rather glad that the air had been cleared between herself and her crush.
"Sure thing, doors will always be open for you, or I can always close early for you. No questions asked." She responded, making Naruto give a quick 'thank you', though seriously… was Tenten the only person that worked in this store? He couldn't remember seeing anyone else work here, nor could he remember ever seeing the manager/owner either. Deciding not to question it and simply accept that Tenten was largely in charge of the store, he went over to the shopping area while Tenten slipped on her pants and followed close behind him.
In the shopping area, Chloe could be seen looking over a new outfit that Ruu-Ruu was wearing. The orangette was still wearing her signature green cap, along with a green shirt that says 'Careful, I bite' on the front, a pair of shorts to give her comfort and easy movement and a pair of shinobi sandals.
The brown skinned woman was the first to take notice of the two humans' presence and spoke in a teasing voice "You were back there for a bit. Ruu-Ruu mentioned something about 'catching a panda girl with her pants off'."
At that, the bun-haired girl gave a small chuckle and replied while pointing a finger at the Half-Elf "Yeah? What about it? Don't think for a second that I'm gonna lose to you and the other girls."
"I don't know what that's supposed to mean, but I accept whatever challenge you're putting forth." Chloe responded in a confident tone as she crossed her arms over her chest, the interaction making the Uzumaki chuckle a bit. He could try to explain what had happened, though he didn't want to risk causing any further misunderstanding or embarrassment for Tenten.
"Hey, Ten-chan. Chloe here was looking for a short sword to use. Got anything that might suit her?" The whiskered teen asked, the very mentioning of weaponry causing some sparkles to appear in the bun haired girl's eyes.
"Not a problem! There's a weapon for virtually everyone!" Tenten spoke as she guided the Half-elf over to the racks that carried the short swords leaving both Naruto and the small orangette alone.
"How're the new duds Ruu-chan? They feel okay?" The whiskered teen asked, earning a gleeful smile from the Halfling who bounced on her feet a few times as she replied "Uh-huh! Uh-huh! They're really comfy too. Much better than the stuff from my old country."
The Uzumaki grinned and then spotted a shelf that held postage supplies including sheets of blank paper, envelopes and postage stamps. He walked over to them and collected the needed supplies so that Ruu-Ruu and Celestine could send the mail to their old friends. The Halfling took notice of this and beamed brightly while merrily bouncing on her feet with a small 'Yay!'
"We'll ask Tenten for a pen so you can write them out, then we can mail them." Naruto spoke as he offered the postage supplies to the Halfling who nodded in appreciation.
"Yup, yup! We can use the same mailing service that me and Maia-chan used. They'll get my letters to our friends lickety-split!" Ruu-Ruu spoke excitedly, almost seeming ready to burst from joy. Obviously feeling very excited at the probability of seeing her lost friends again. Their moment of joy was interrupted by the clinking and clattering of metal approaching them.
When they turned in the direction of the sound, they saw Chloe who was carrying a pair of large reinforced baskets stuffed full of short swords and numerous Kunai, almost to the point of bursting. "Yosh. I'm ready for war!" Chloe proudly declared making her fellow blonde sweat-drop a bit since she was carrying enough Kunai and swords to take down an army.
"You're not planning on using those against that Vult guy you keep mentioning, are you?" Naruto asked as he quirked up an eyebrow. He couldn't really blame the Half-Elf for wanting revenge, but he couldn't help but worry that she might get in over her head.
"Should we cross paths with that godless misogynistic heathen, then most certainly! I'm going to get much stronger and then bury these blades into that disgusting creature's body after I castrate him." She promised as she clenched her fist tightly, in the background Tenten appeared to be sweat-dropping a bit with an apologetic expression on her face since it seemed that Chloe may have gone a bit overboard with her shopping.
"How about we start with getting you back into practice and fighting shape before we go down the 'vengeful one-woman army' path?" Naruto asked with a small sweat-drop, his words making the brown-skinned woman give a quick 'ah' when she realized his point.
"I suppose having all these weapons will be meaningless if I'm still out of shape. Very well then. Tenten-san, I apologize for any inconvenience." Chloe stated as she set the bags down to return the weapons, save for a single short sword that she took to begin practicing once more, plus some Kunai so that she may start training in the use of said projectiles.
They headed towards the counter where Naruto paid for their collected items, as Tenten rang them up, she looked over towards Ruu-Ruu and spoke "I don't think we were properly introduced. I'm Tenten. You one of Naruto-kun's slaves too?"
At the brunette's question, the orangette shook her head and replied "Nope! Naruto-sama saved me from some angry dog people and gave me yummy food. So now I work as his bodyguard!" To emphasize her point, the small dog-girl began twirling her axe with impressive dexterity despite its size which earned a slow whistle from the bun-haired girl. Clearly impressed by the loli-dog's expert handling of such a large weapon.
Once everything was paid for, Ruu-Ruu immediately began writing out the needed letters to her old friends while Naruto, Chloe and Tenten casually chatted away as they patiently waited. All the while, Naruto couldn't help but think about how lucky he was to have such wonderful girls in his life. Even his pal Tenten seemed to be on board in spite of the unusual circumstances… still… he couldn't help but wonder if this would be some kind of a trend in his new lifestyle.
If it was… just how many more women were going to enter his life? He had no answer and no way of knowing. The only intelligent answer he had… was just to roll with it. It had worked out for him so far. Now he just needed a place to train with the girls. Preferably someplace private. The Forest of Death was a viable option, but he was concerned that they wouldn't be prepared for the dangers of the forest. Especially since it was a place where even Anbu and Jonin rarely, if ever, ventured.
He most certainly didn't want to expose the girls to unnecessary danger. Hopefully, a viable solution could be found soon. He wanted to get some training in before the Academy restarted again.
Meanwhile. Hokage's office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed to himself in exhaustion as he began filing the necessary paperwork to help get classes at the Academy restarted. Most fortunately, he gained some willing volunteers that already had teaching experience, and even better, would hold no contempt for Naruto. Even so, there was another matter that needed handling while it was on his mind, and the sooner it was taken care of the better.
The door to his office opened as his trusted Anbu Neko pushed a wheelchair bound woman inside who possessed icy blue hair. The woman known as Angela Blanc had a peaceful look on her face, her hands elegantly folded over her lap as she was pushed closer to the Hokage's desk. The Sandaime cleared his throat and stroked his beard as he spoke "Angela Blanc, I presume? I am Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Sandaime Hokage. I have read the reports and am aware you went through quite the ordeal. I have also read… other details in the reports about what was found in your memories, but I wish to hear them from your own mouth."
The bluenette smiled softly and replied "As you wish Hokage-sama. To put it plainly, I am an Angel of Heaven. I was but a simple rank-and-file soldier alongside my cousin Ash Landers. We Angels are not permitted to intervene in the affairs of mortals unless dire circumstances arise. From Heaven, we watched many people suffer because of the actions of criminals and the corruption of stagnating governments and their officials.
So we descended to Earth, hoping to bring justice and protect the innocent… at least those were our intentions in the beginning. At some point or other, we deviated from our original goal and lost our way. Our hearts became corrupt and our desire to protect and nurture, became twisted and ugly, and our goals shifted to those of destruction and corruption. Many innocents lost their lives due to our machinations… It wasn't until I thought my demise was at hand did I realize the true horrors of our actions. I was ready to accept my punishment and oblivion… but it was not the end at all. I believe you already know the rest from the reports and testimonies of your people."
At the end of her tale, the Sandaime slowly nodded since her words aligned with everything that had been revealed by her memory scan, so far she seemed truly repentant and willingly cooperated. Both good signs, whatever her past sins, it seemed she wasn't completely gone. "There's still something that confuses me. You and your cousin Ash, shared a single body, how is that possible?" The Hokage asked out of curiosity since that wasn't included in the report.
"Lower ranked Angels can fuse themselves together to achieve greater power. However, if the fusion is held for long and extended periods of time the fusion can become… unstable. Perhaps it was this very instability that further agitated the growing darkness in our hearts. I cannot say for certain. But it doesn't matter. I am still guilty of many atrocities. Do with me as you will, I shall accept any punishment you deem appropriate." Angela responded in a tone of acceptance, clearly she had been mentally preparing herself for this moment for a while.
The Sandaime hummed in thought as he drummed his fingers along his desk and briefly took a drag from his pipe before replying "I'm afraid it isn't so simple as that. I cannot accurately or fairly cast judgement on you for whatever crimes you may have committed on foreign soil. As far as I'm aware, you have done no harm to my people here in Konoha."
At his words, the angel's face darkened in disappointment as she stared at the floor in sorrow "I see. If you will not judge me, then what shall you do with me?" She asked, her question causing a twinkle of wonder to appear in Hiruzen's eyes.
"That's what I was just thinking about. If you don't mind being put to work, I think I know of someone who could benefit from having an angel in his corner. Small pun intended." The Sandaime spoke with a small chuckle, his words seemed to have brightened Angela's face just a little.
"Indentured servitude then? If that is the case, I shall comply for now. Who is this person you believe has need of me?" She asked out of curiosity, while she would have preferred a more permanent atonement she wasn't going to force the Hokage to render judgement, especially if it was out of his hands. Additionally, if she could atone even a little by serving this 'someone' the Hokage had in mind, then maybe she could find some needed peace.
"Well, before I tell you, I shall have to introduce you to him and see how he feels. I have some business I need to take care of with him soon anyway." The Hokage announced with a small smile as he continued writing out some paperwork labeled 'Academy Teachers registration' and then gave a stamp of approval over two names. Asagi and Sakura Igawa.
