Chapter 15. Unexpected
.
His mind was turning over and over again about what happened a few time ago in the Lightning village, he knew it was improbable but that fantasy he had had in his sleep made him wish it was real. On the other hand he was thinking about the note that Toshio had sent to Tenten, not for its content but for the fact that the man had given it to Ino and Sakura, they could perfectly well have read it on the way, there was something strange with that. When the day's fighting ended so did his shift, given the change in his schedule now he wasn't supposed to stay up all night but go home and come back in the morning.
He was asleep when he felt her get out of bed, that night they had arrived so exhausted from training that they had undressed and gone straight to bed to rest. He kept some clothes at her house, and to the Hyūga mansion he went sporadically when Tenten was on a mission. It was a hot night and they had thrown on the bed in their underwear and without covering themselves with the blanket. He heard her return to the bedroom and move some objects, but he pretended he was still asleep.
He felt the weight on the mattress as she climbed back into bed, but she hadn't laid down next to him. Abruptly all his senses were altered and his skin bristled as she deposited a kiss on his chest and rested her hands on the elastic of his underwear. Beginning to descend leaving in time a trail of kisses that already went below his navel. He couldn't pretend he was asleep when his erection was fully awake and betrayed him.
"Tenten, what are you..."
"Shhhhhh," she interrupted him, she bit his abdomen and pulled down his underpants.
She kept kissing him, getting dangerously close, and giving him kisses on his legs while with her hands she was caressing his manhood. Suddenly he noticed the breath on his crotch and a moment later she had put it in her mouth, his hips had moved reflexively, it was the first time she was doing that to him and it felt too good.
She was licking him up and down and he wanted to stop her, not because he didn't like it but because he wanted to penetrate her and they enjoy together, but when he tried to move her, she grabbed his hands and immobilized them against the mattress, she was a pretty strong shinobi. So he let her do it, she kept licking and sucking, accompanying those gentle movements with light scratches on his abdomen or on his legs.
"Stop," he begged her in a barely audible way, he felt his orgasm very close, in response the brunette accelerated her movements. "No...no!" a moan came from the back of his throat while with more force than he should use, he pulled her off as he began to ejaculate. Tenten watched him triumphantly, licking her lips. He sat on the bed taking care not to dirty anything and kissed her, "I must clean myself, but I will take revenge for this," he threatened her amused.
He woke up resigned, he had to learn to live with those dreams or his patience and peace of mind were going to end up being a distant memory. Perhaps when Tenten left the village again those dreams would slowly start to fade away. He snorted in annoyance, even though it was still a few hours before dawn he needed to train. In the silence of the training grounds he could hear voices in the distance.
He approached taking care not to be discovered and watched them, Toshio, Haruo and one of the house servants. They were drawing a map while talking about the possible weak and vulnerable points to an attack they had discovered. He knew it! He continued to watch them from a distance, when he saw that they put the map away he hurried to the residence where they were staying, he managed to narrowly slip away from Shino's surveillance and through the window he could see that Toshio and Tenten were asleep. It was a kage bunshin what he had seen. He moved away from the window, Shino was a few steps away from him evidently annoyed by the intrusion.
"Toshio is in the village," he explained.
"Impossible, my insects would have detected him, just as they detected you when you entered the property."
"It's a kage bunshin," Shino cursed under his breath because they didn't smell, so his insects couldn't detect them, "what blind spot could we have?" the two looked at each other, "the service house."
They separated and watched that entrance, they could clearly see how Toshio returned with the servant and disappeared into a puff.
He suspected that Toshio was hiding something, but he hadn't been able to think that the man could create kage bunshin. Toshio was more than just a diplomat and the whole surveillance team had failed to be carried away by the image of a pompous conceited man with which he acted in front of them.
They had to talk to the Hokage immediately.
.
As soon as dawn broke he headed to the Hokage's residence, he knocked lightly on the door.
"Come in," he entered the office and could see Tsunade going through many messy papers on her desk, "what's going on now, Neji?"
"We have discovered that the Lightning village delegation is planning an attack on the village," she looked up, the news didn't surprise her.
"We need to redouble our guard, we made a mistake," Tsunade checked other papers, "this is just what we needed at this moment."
"Excuse me, Hokage-sama?"
"Ino and Sakura came at night, after visiting Tenten," she left the paper on the table, "they suspected that something was going on because Toshio gave them a note sealed with a strange jutsu," she started to check another sheet, "no matter how much I check, I can't find that jutsu, it must be some very old," she crumpled the sheet annoyed, "the report from the Lightning village didn't say that he was a ninja."
"What is the plan?" he asked.
"Make a tracking team, I need evidence so I can talk directly to the Raikage," she got up from the desk, "if they are going to look for war, we are going to give it to them," she cracked her knuckles, "capture a prisoner, we need to start interrogating them."
"Right away."
"Wait," she told him before he left, "they will be suspicious if they don't see you in the arena... I'll look for someone else to get the prisoner, come back at night for the interrogation," he nodded.
He took his place in the fighting arena and waited, with the rest Tenten should stay home but she didn't, she came to the arena and he watched carefully every step they took. Would she know about the other village's plan? Had she helped them train to help them in the attack? He denied to himself, it was impossible, he had seen the fear in her eyes. And with the confirmation that Toshio was a ninja, would Toshio have hit her? Was that why she was afraid of him? He needed to talk to Tenten, but he couldn't find a way, everyone around her seemed to be watching her. And the few times he had managed to see her face, he had noticed her attempt to disguise the dark circles under her eyes. He cursed internally, it was clear that she had to be resting.
At the end of the third day he went to the barracks where they were waiting for him, before entering in one of the cells, he put on his uniform and ANBU mask, it would be an excellent opportunity to release some of the frustration that accompanied him. After 3 o'clock in the morning he returned to his apartment, they had a list of all those who had attended in the retinue, and what function they specifically fulfilled. As well as what they were doing in the village to prepare for the attack.
When he asked about the role played by 'Toshio's wife' the prisoner confessed that they had tricked her with the excuse of the exams to help them improve their techniques, they had pretended that it was to train the students who were going to participate, but they had taken advantage of this to improve their own level, besides that by knowing her techniques they could subdue her easier if necessary.
He wrote up the report and then took a quick shower to freshen up, changed out of his uniform into his usual clothes and headed for the Hokage's office.
"So?" was Tsunade's greeting.
"He confessed everything," he put the folder on the desk, "this is an exploratory visit, they are looking for possible weak points and plan to leave some explosives installed for the day they make the attack."
"Do we know when it will be?"
"Not yet, they are waiting to return to their village to consolidate the plan. All the service personnel are gathering information in the village that might be of use to them, they haven't come up with much yet."
"Is the Raikage aware of this plan?," she listened to him with her hands on her chin.
"The Yoshida family is the main patron of the village, they threatened the Raikage with withdrawal of funds in case he doesn't support the attack," Tsunade sighed in relief.
"And Tenten?"
"She is not part of the plan, knowing her techniques they expected to be able to immobilize her, but now with the pregnancy they have stopped seeing her as a potential threat," she nodded, "Tsunade-sama... Are we going to include her in the plan?"
"I must talk to her," she brought her hands to her neck as if giving herself a massage, "it could be a risk. I trust the data obtained, but I want you to corroborate the information. Don't make any attacks."
He nodded and walked away. He was following some people, but he could only see them from afar talking to other people, that wasn't enough proof. Until he saw 2 that started to walk away and head towards the uninhabited Uchiha villa, cautiously he approached and heard them talking about how easy it would be to leave some explosives there since no one was going near that ground.
He returned to the Hokage's residence, and Shizune informed him that Tsunade was in the hospital. He went there and appeared at the window. Tenten was sitting on the stretcher.
"Confirmed, there are 2 of the servants scouting the village, they are touring the Uchiha villa," he reported.
"Tenten," the Hokage faced her directly, "we are aware that Toshio is planning to attack Konoha," the chocolate orbs opened wide, "so it's time for you to take a side."
"What do I have to do?" Tenten asked without hesitation.
