Hello everyone, I'll be taking a small break from the White Suits to introduce a side story of an actual ninja mission, so expect that after the next chapter.
The next chapter is going to be another Naruto x Sakura lemon, by the way. It'll be a bit raunchier than the last one, but still have romance and all that. Might even be a threesome? Who knows, I always end up getting myself gravitated toward multi ships, because I'm the kind of guy who likes having the main protagonists getting laid a lot. Don't know if I'll do that, but it might just be Naruto having sex with shadow clones he makes of different women? We'll see.
Anyway, please enjoy the chapter! The author's notes will be at the bottom.
Wearing an armless black-turtleneck spandex shirt with a pair of bright neon-orange cargo shorts, Naruto decided to try and dress appropriately for the summer evening weather, while also trying to look somewhat fashionable when he got to the Haruno residence.
Taking a stretch before locking the front door behind him with a security seal, Naruto figured that Sasuke would be fine since Karin knew how to bypass the seal. While he didn't live in a fancy neighborhood like Sakura, or lived in his own massive compound like how the Uchiha clan did, Naruto lived relatively in a good part of the village that he had grown up in. Despite the fact that many of his more distant neighbors still harbored fear of him, his mom, Karin and Boruto for being members of the Uzumaki clan, Naruto never really had an issue with anyone, other than of course them avoiding him.
While taking his time getting to Sakura's neighborhood while basking in the warmth of the sunlight, Naruto reached into his orange cargo shorts to pull out a paper seal. Breaking it, Naruto continued to walk out of his neighbor and take the roads leading to his destination as he held his frog-purse that fell out of the paper seal in which he broke.
'… Alright Gama-Chan, show me the MONEY!!!' Naruto thought with a hopeful feeling coursing through his head, as he nervously opened up the mouth of his frog-purse, where he saw how little cash he actually had inside of it. 'Aw, crap— that's disappointing… Guess Sakura's gonna have to settle with a candy bar, instead of a 'bushel' of roses, or whatever it's called,' Naruto thought disappointingly to himself, after having confused the word 'bushel' for 'bouquet'.
Holding 'Gama-Chan' with his left hand, Naruto reached down to unzip the pocket he had on his right leg that he used to hold pre-written seals. Licking the back of a single paper tag with his tongue, Naruto stuck it on his frog purse and used an ounce of chakra to seal it into the piece of paper. Zipping his pocket back up and keeping the seal containing what little money he had left, Naruto played out in his head how it would go if he showed up to his soon-to-be in-law's house with a cheap candy bar as a gift to their beloved daughter.
'Tch… They're going to think I'm a freakin' bum! They must already know that my jackass dad isn't going to let me be Hokage anymore, Sakura probably told them,' Naruto thought to himself with a feeling of insecurity washing over him, as he tapped his hand repeatedly against his hip. Looking up at the sun, while guesstimating the time, Naruto thought to himself, 'Eh…? I'm pretty sure it's like, five o'clock right now, that gives me at least or hours to spare before I gotta see Sakura tonight… I think I can squeeze in a quick mission, just enough to show her parents that my skills can pay the bills.'
Changing his course, Naruto decided to ditch the idea of walking and instead chose to begin running across the rooftops of the village— parkouring and sprinting across the distance faster than what the naked eye could see. 'Yeah… Yeah, I got time!' Naruto thought to himself, as he made his way to the village's Hokage office— an area that he knew all too well.
Having written down multiple ways on how she would explain to Naruto about why she was aiding Tsunade's manhunt to systematically murder every White Suit they could, with Yamoori being the number one priority, Sakura paced back and forth within her bedroom. 'Damn it… I can already hear it now, 'Sakura, we should stoop down to their level', and 'Sakura, there has to be a better way'… Ugh, why do you have to be such a good guy, Naruto?!'
Thankful that she wasn't going to be marrying someone who even remotely had ever shown the bloodlust to end the life of someone in a situation where mercy and sparing them was out of the question, Sakura decided to give up trying to over complicate what she had to say to Naruto right then-and-there, and led out a sigh as she plopped herself down on her queen-sized mattress.
Rolling around in her heavy red comforter, Sakura started to mentally decompress as she tried to get her mind off how anxious she was to tell Naruto the truth behind Tsunade's goal. That's when her emerald-green eyes focused onto the white envelope that she was going to give back to Naruto— the same very one that was laying within arm's reach on top of her bedside end table.
As much as Sakura didn't want to admit it, she had been really curious about what was inside the envelope, ever since she took it the night before. 'It came with that stupid marriage proposal… If it's from Iwagakure's Tsuchikage, it might be something really important… Wonder if it's money, or anything useful?' Sakura thought to herself, while she ignored her conscience as she reached over to take it from the end table.
Holding it above her with both her hands, Sakura narrowed her eyes at it with a suspicious glimmer behind her beautiful green irises. Lowering it down to her ear, Sakura shook the contents inside of the envelope and felt her curiosity peak the moment she had what sounded like grains of sand shifting around whatever was bulky enough inside to leave a visible rectangular silhouette within the white container.
'It might be poison, or something else dangerous… Perhaps this whole thing was an assination attempt on Naruto, or even the Hokage!?' Sakura thought to herself, before immediately reeling back her accusations, as it made no sense to her as to why the Tsuchikage would bother putting the poison in the envelope, and not on the marriage declaration itself.
'… Technically speaking, shouldn't I be allowed to open my future-husband's mail on his behalf? I think that's allowed— my mom does it all the time, and she and dad get along just fine!' Sakura thought to herself with a satisfied smirk across her soft lips, after finally being able to talk herself into opening up what essentially was Naruto's mail on behalf of him.
Biting down on the edge of the envelope, Sakura ripped open the top of the white parchment paper and recoiled the moment she inhaled some of the pink glitter that was shot out from the bottom of it. Coughing and hacking, Sakura in the back of her mind was thankful that no one was around to see the ugly faces she was making, as she got up from her bed and blew her glittery snot into tissue she took from her bedside tissue-box.
Drooling while spitting into her used tissue, Sakura groaned and gritted her teeth angrily— silently cursing out whoever had set up that glitter bomb within the envelope. 'Stupid idiot! Who the hell even does that?! What was the freakin' dumbass point of that shit anyway?!' Sakura wandered angrily to herself, as she let out another loogie into her used tissue, before tossing it into her small trash bin she kept in the corner of her bedroom.
Stomping her way aggressively toward her bed, Sakura went back to where she tossed the opened envelope. Not wanting to get anymore glitter on her bed, Sakura took the envelope with her to her private bathroom, where she proceeded to cautiously dump out all the polaroid pictures onto the white surface of her bathroom sink counter. Blowing the glitter off the white backs of the photos, so that it went into her sink, Sakura ran the cold water to wash away the excess pink particles down the drain, as she grabbed the top photo to flip it over.
Nearly dropping it the moment she flipped it around, Sakura's eyes became widden and a loud gasp escaped involuntary from her lungs the moment she saw none other than the Tsuchikage's daughter posing naked in a seductive manner for the camera: Kurotsuchi. The short-haired kunoichi was blushing, and batting her long-eyelashes as she stood in front of the mirror with the same camera that took the picture in the first place held up toward her own reflection— snapping a shot of her presenting her shaven pussy and tight little asshole for who Sakura presumed to be Naruto.
Getting red in the face with seething anger building up inside of her, Sakura was grinding her molars together and breathing quickly through her flared nostrils, as she went through each provocative selfie. One-by-one, the photos depicted Kurotsuchi showing off her small busty chest by licking them while staring at the camera, presenting her toned-ass and legs, and even masturbating with a submissive look on her cute face— all of which infuriated Sakura and made her feel extremely territorial.
'That stupid little bitch…! Who does she even think she is?! Trying to look all hot, with her cute little ass spread open, and her snatch dripping all hot down her thigh a bit…! And the way she's sucking on both her own nipples in this photo— Why the hell is this turning me on, is the real question,' Sakura thought to herself with that sudden realization catching her off guard, as she bit down her lower lip while taking more time analyzing each lewd photo of the young ninja.
'Look at this one… She's laying down on the bed, her hips raised up with one hand spreading her pussy open for the camera… Mmmm, wonder what sort of face she would make of Naruto was grabbing a hold of her legs, and staring down at her little whore face while fucking her silly?' Sakura thought to herself, while feeling her loins beginning to get warm at the imaginative thought of watching her fiancé pumping his nine-inch cock in-and-out of Kurotsuchi's bald pussy.
Immediately catching herself in the heat of the moment, Sakura had a moment of clarity about what she was thinking and immediately closed her eyes before gathering all the photos blindly in her hand— organizing them neatly before turning around and opening her eyelids. Navigating out of her private bathroom and back to her bed, Sakura laid back down on her mattress with her back against the middle of the bed— the photos that were giving her naughty thoughts still in her hand.
No matter how much she wanted to put the Kurotsuchi's lewd photographs away into her bedside drawer, where she kept them out of sight and out of mind, Sakura couldn't help but to feel ashamed of herself as she slid a random photograph out of the bundle from her left hand. '… Maybe I could, uh… Get some use out of these dirty pictures until Naruto comes over. Entertainment, or whatever,' Sakura thought to herself with an embarrassed look in her emerald eyes.
Making sure that her door was locked by glancing over toward its handle, Sakura felt guilty about what she was about to do as she reached down with her free hand to pull her black-shorts and panties down her toned thighs. Setting the bundle of photos done beside her, Sakura raised one of them that showed Kurotsuchi sucking on an invisible cock, while using her tongue to stimulate the silhouette of one by pressing her oral muscle against her cheek.
Imagining her fiancé grabbing a hold of Kurotsuchi's head, while forcing the kunoichi to choke on his long cock, Sakura spread her legs open and reached down with her right hand to spread her own hairy pink-pussy lips, before using her fingers to begin rubbing her clitoris to the thought of watching Naruto getting deep throated by the young woman.
Knowing fully well that his father was always too busy to step foot out of his office, save for when he had to travel outside of Konoha, Naruto was glad to know that he wouldn't have to endure any awkward circumstances of him and Minato accidentally bumping into one another while he was waiting his turn to get assigned a mission.
Due to the abundance of low-ranking ninjas who were fresh out of the academy hurling behind the section of the office dedicated to assigning D-rank missions, Naruto quickly gave up on trying to wait in one of the four massive lines that he knew would take hours. Even after accepting the embarrassment of being caught taking an easy job over the S-rank missions, which sometimes took weeks to complete, Naruto decided to settle with taking a B-rank mission; figuring that clearing out a bandit camp or a dangerous animal wouldn't eat up too much of his time.
Seeing his old friends from his days within the academy gathering at the lobby area, just outside the entrance hallways that led to each respective ranking mission-assigning areas, Naruto grew a wide smile across his eager face as he made his way over to where he saw Rock Lee talking to Tenten and Shikmaru just outside of the hallway entrance to where ninjas could be assigned S-rank missions.
"Hey 'Bushy Eyes', what's up?!" Naruto called out in a friendly tone, and waved toward Rock, after getting all of the group's collective attention.
Smiling with his large eyebrows furrowed like they usually always were, Rock smiled at Naruto before bowing down, as was customary to the man who was as honorable as he was. "Naruto! You came just in the nick of time, as it would seem!" Rock said with his usual and recognizable cadence, while raising up at the waist to stand back up straight.
"Oh? What mission did you guys get assigned?" Naruto asked with a curious look in his blue eyes— becoming easily distracted, and forgetting that he needed to abstain from the thought of even considering joining along for an S-rank mission.
Wanting to speak, Shikamaru smirked lazily at Naruto with his arms crossed over his flak-jacket-covered chest. "We just got assigned to head up to 'Hokage Rock' to investigate where a group of seismologists went missing just a few days ago," Shikamaru explained, and frowned the moment he saw Naruto stare back at him with a baffled look.
"… Uh, what the hell's a 'size-moe-tall-igist'?" Naruto asked with an embarrassed look on his face.
Answering before the other two ninjas could, Tenten explained, "They're scientists who study earthquakes caused by both natural and 'supernatural' phenomena. They're the ones who send the Hokage alerts if Konoha needs to be evacuated or not, because earthquakes usually mean volcanic eruptions and other bad stuff too."
Nodding his head, Naruto chuckled before asking, "Oh, why didn't you guys just say 'earthquake scientists' instead? That would have cleared things up a whole lot faster."
Sighing, Shikamaru pursed his lips before gathering the motivation to bother answering Naruto's question. "How troublesome… Because Naruto, most people our age should, I repeat, 'SHOULD', know what a seismologist is. It's not anything— oh, nevermind, forget it…" Shikamaru muttered with defeat, after finding the act of educating Naruto to be too bothersome for him to put the energy into it.
"Pffttt, yeah, okay, haha, ah!" Naruto chuckled, while laughing off Shikamaru's somewhat antisocial behavior in favor of diving deeper into their business. "Anyway… That sounds more like a search and rescue mission than anything worthy of an 'S-rank'. What gives?"
Having read over the description of the mission plenty of times before agreeing to sign off on it, which had been the reason why their team was still hanging around the office building, Rock answered Naruto's question by saying, "Because my friend, this mission was originally a B-rank mission! The Hokage thought the same thing as you, Naruto, but after repeatedly having to list the missing teams that had accepted the mission as 'missing-in-action', he decided to label this mission as a 'high-risk' one! That's why it's an S-rank mission, Naruto: because we'll be dealing with unknown variables!"
"Sounds a whole lot like fun… Sheesh, wish I could join ya, but I've gotta head down to Sakura's tonight," Naruto said with a chuckle, with a hint of disappointment in his voice as he crossed his hands behind his head of blond hair.
Naturally inquisitive and observant, Tenten raised a brow at Naruto before asking, "If you've got prior plans Uzumaki, then hey are you here in the first place? Trying to plan ahead, or just trying to squeeze in a quick mission before then?"
"Just trying to get a quick buck before heading up to see Sakura— I was going to bring over a gift, but Gama-Chan is feeling a little… Famished," Naruto admitted, while patting the side of his pants to signal to them that he was broke.
"Pfffft, yeah; been there, done that," Shikamaru chuckled with his hands stuffed into his pockets, before clarifying his own situation by saying, "I meant being broke, by the way— still don't wanna get married, and get stuck with some woman who'll boss me around until I die… Oh, and congratulations on getting engaged to Sakura, Naruto."
Appearing shocked and letting out a horrified gasp, Rock stumbled back dramatically with widened eyes while Naruto stared back at Shikamaru with a deadpan expression. "Gee, thanks… Who told you I was getting married, by the way? Was it… Was it my dad?" Naruto asked with a conflicted look in his eye, meanwhile Rock was letting out a silent scream of defeat as he collapsed to the floor on his knees.
"Uhhh… Sort of?" Shikamaru said with a shrug, before turning his head toward Tenten, who had momentarily got distracted by seeing Rock having an overdramatized breakdown just a few feet beside her. "Still got that flier?"
"Flier? What are you- OH!!! You mean the memo they gave us," Tenten said, after realizing what Shikamaru meant. Reaching into her back pouch, which was one of many that was attached to the belt she had on, Tenten pulled out a neatly-folded piece of printer paper before handing it over to Naruto. "That wasn't the only thing mentioned on it, but it was just something that the Hokage wanted to put at the bottom of the memo."
"… At least he's acknowledging it," Naruto muttered beneath his breath, as he silently read through all the posted announcements on the piece of paper, before getting to the bottom of the memo.
'Minato Namikaze, Fourth Hokage: Hello my fellow ninjas, I wanted to share with all of you that as of yesterday, my son Naruto Uzumaki has announced that he and Sakura Haruno are engaged, and their planned wedding is estimated to be within the ballpark of December, give or take, so please congratulate him on finding his suitable partner,' Naruto read to himself, rolling his eyes before reading the last half of his father's postscript.
'… I wish him well in his future, and look forward to him someday becoming Konoha's next Hokage. He has the power, ambition, and heart to continue our era of peace. Until that day though, I welcome all of you to continue to grow in your careers, and to always remember that no matter what ambitions you have as ninjas, family should always come first before anything else.'
Stunned and completely ignoring the fact that Shikamura was trying to tell Rock to get a hold of himself, Naruto stared off into the distance and at nowhere in particular— the revelation that his father had an overnight change of heart baffled him. '… Guess mom can be pretty persuasive when she wants to be. Probably has to do with her threatening to divorce him, or something… I don't know,' Naruto thought bittersweetly to himself, as he himself wasn't sure how much of what he read came from a place of willingness on his father's behalf.
"… Huh, guess the word's out, eh?! Can't keep a secret from you guys, even if I wanted to!" Naruto said while forcing himself to smile widely, as to fool himself and the others into thinking that everything was just fine between him and his father.
Putting her hands on her hips, Tenten gave Naruto a sassy smirk while leaning in to arch a brow at him. "Uh, huh, and when exactly were you going to tell us that you and Sakura were going to get hitched, eh?"
Pursing his lips and looking away from Tenten's playfully-judgemental gaze, Naruto furrowed his thin brows while trying to think when exactly he was going to tell everyone. "… Jeez, well… It sort of just happened yesterday, so to be honest… I haven't gotten that far yet. We don't even really know when exactly the wedding's gonna be, or where exactly…"
Shikamaru was always opposed to the idea of having a marriage of his own, especially when he saw how encumbersome and draining it could be, thanks to the years he saw his sensei, Asuma Sarutobi, get whenever his wife, Kurenai Yuhi, was with him. Even so, Shikamaru couldn't help but to ask, "So, umm… Like, we're invited to the wedding, yeah? Whatever date you two decided on, you'll let us know?"
Almost offended that his friends would even need to ask such a question, Naruto let out a dramatic gasp of his own, before appearing visibly shocked. "W-What?! Yeah, of course you guys are all invited! What sort of friend do you take me as?!" Naruto asked half-jokingly, while shaking his head at Shikamaru.
Meanwhile, Rock slowly got up to his feet and wiped away his tears using the white-bandages wrapped around his forearms. "… I… I am extremely grateful and blessed to be invited to your wedding, Naruto! I know you are a good man, and will give Sakura the wonderful life that she deserves! Thank you, Naruto, t-thank you!" Rock Lee said with a forcibly intense and respectful look on his face, as his determined voice echoed through the halls loudly enough to make them all feel a little embarrassed with his theatrics.
"Uhhh… Y-Yeah, for sure man," Naruto replied back with a slightly uncomfortable smile on his face, while taking a moment along with Tenten and Shikamaru to look around to see if anyone was giving them odd stares.
"No! The honor is all mine!" Rock argued with a passionate fire in his heart, before quickly reaching into his pocket to pull out his wallet. "Which is why I cannot stand by and allow you while you and Sakura struggle financially! Hardships cannot be ignored, especially if the one in need of 'ryo' is a good friend like you, Naruto Uzumaki!"
Mortified that Rock had just aired out his dirty laundry for everyone within a fifty yard radius within the mission assignment building to hear, Naruto's eyes widened as he felt his heart skip a beat. "W-What the hell, Bushy Brows?! I-I, Naruto Uzumaki, never said that I was struggling financially, okay everyone?!" Naruto shouted out with his hands cupped around the corners of his mouth to better broadcast to everyone that he wasn't a 'broke-ass ninja', like how Boruto called him the other day.
Becoming heartbroken from hearing how ashamed Naruto was, Rock felt tears of empathy welling up in his eyes as he blindly grabbed all the money in his wallet before forcibly shoving all of it into his blond friend's palm. "It will be okay, Naurto! Poverty is nothing to be ashamed of, and I know how resourceful you and Sakura are! Give it time, and one day you two won't have to rely on others for financial assistance! I know my act of generosity will be passed on through you, when one day you can afford to help others in need such as yourself!"
Busting up laughing while Shikamaru was cackling under his breath, Tenten hunched over with arms wrapped around her sore diaphragm while Naruto stared down with a defeated look on his face. Knowing that the fat-stack of cold-hard cash was too good to turn down, it was an extremely bitter pill to swallow for Naruto to accept Rock's generosity while ninjas of every rank walked by him— all of them giving him either judgmental stares, or looks of sorrow.
"… Thank you, Rock. I… I appreciate it," Naruto said with the last of his pride turning to dust. And just when he thought his embarrassment had reached its low point, it was then that he noticed none other than Ken Kaneki from the corner of his devastated gaze. Shoving the money into his pocket without even bothering to unseal his frog purse, Naruto waved and smiled at Kaneki as he started to walk toward him.
"H-Hey Kaneki! What are you doing here?" Naruto asked with a friendly tone in his voice, before reaching around to pat the nineteen year-old's back while turning around to present him to his three other friends. "This is Ken Kaneki, guys! He's my new friend— just met him yesterday!" Naruto said proudly, while Kaneki, being the introvert that he was, nervously smiled back at the three ninja while raising his hand up at them.
"Uh… Good evening, everyone. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance," Kaneki said, while his social anxiety made him feel self conscious of the fact that his appearance was far different than those of the tactically-geared up individuals around him.
Bowing down to greet him, Rock Lee was pleasantly surprised to see that Kaneki actually returned the gesture— unlike most of his other friends, who were too informal to bother themselves with what they saw as menial formalities. "Greetings Kaneki-San! My name is Rock Lee, I'm the protege of the famous Guy Sensei! You've probably heard about him; my sensei is extremely talented, and his adventures have been documented in ninja literature!"
Smiling uneasily at how enthusiastically Rock was hyping up his sensei, Kaneki chuckled nervously before speaking. "Haha, ah… I-I'm sure your sensei is remarkable, it's just, uh… I-I haven't really heard of him," Kaneki admitted, which shocked not only Rock, but Tenten and even Shikamaru as well.
"Wait, what?! How haven't you heard of 'Might Guy'? He's the one who wrote the text books on how to fundamentals of the 'Eight Gates' technique, and wrote the entire curriculum for learning 'Taijutsu'," Tenten questioned with a confused look in her eyes, as she and the rest of them had the assumption that Kaneki was a high-ranking ninja, just based off his age and eyepatch alone.
Speaking on behalf of his friend, Naruto chuckled before taking a step forward to have the three ninjas' attention on him. "Hehe, that's the thing guys; Kaneki isn't a shinobi. He went to the mandated school for it, back when used to live in Amagakure, but he chose to take civilian classes on kanji and all that literature stuff," Naruto explained, while impressing Kaneki that he actually remembered what he told him while they were on their way to the police station.
Appearing both relieved and understanding, Rock raised his hand up to hold his chin, as he smiled more casually at the well-dressed man. "Ah, you're from Amagakure, eh? That explains the fancy clothes you've got on," Rock said confidently, before adding, "Since you're not a ninja, I suppose that explains why you haven't heard of my amazing sensei! It all makes sense now!"
"… Eh, I wouldn't necessarily say that," Shikamaru argued casually, as he turned his gaze from Rock to stare at Kaneki with a bored look on his usually stoic face. "If you're just a teacher, or whatever, then why are you even here? Do you work in the office, or are you just here to do some sightseeing?" Shikamaru asked with a slightly amused facial expression, as the thought of a kanji teacher trying to be a ninja made him smirk.
Nodding down to the silver suitcase that he had in his hand, a type of baggage used to store personal belongings that none of the Konoha natives were used to seeing, Kaneki smiled kindly before explaining, "I just came down here to get my certificates and degree approved and transferred, so that I can start applying to be a professor. Then I saw this place, and decided to take a look around to kill time."
Narrowing her eyes while finding herself getting entranced with the fact that someone who was as young as Kaneki was wearing a black eye patch over his right-eye, Tenten asked, "Does your missing eye have anything to do with why you didn't finish becoming a ninja, by chance?"
Appearing immediately uneasy at the mere mention of his eye patch, Kaneki gulped back the lump in his throat while trying to keep his cool. "… My eye? Oh, y-yes. Yes, I, uh… I wanted to be a ninja when I was younger, but things didn't work out and my injury made me reconsider that dream— lost it in during a sparring match, and haven't had it since," Kaneki explained, while lying through his teeth as he nervously pinched his own chin while smiling.
Being the man that he was, Rock Lee was upset to hear the false tragedy of how Kaneki gave up on his dream to become a ninja. Seeing how Naruto wanted to go on the mission with them, but was too busy that night to go, that's when Rock had an idea that was so good, that he blurted it out without thinking, "Hey, I got an idea! Naruto, how would you and your friend like to come with us tomorrow morning to make our journey to Hokage Rock?!"
While Naruto seemed thrilled at the idea, Kaneki seemed unsure about the idea of possibly exposing himself to the Hokage's son and his friends. "I'd love to, Bushy Brows, but… Weren't you guys gonna go tonight? I'd love to go, but I don't want to be the reason why things get complicated."
Knowing exactly where Rock was coming from, especially when she knew that he meant well by it, Tenten crossed her arms over her breasts while smiling softly at the two. "I mean, yeah, technically we were going to head out after dinner, but… It would be a lot safer for all of us to go during the daylight, and hey, we could always use some extra hands on board, right Shikamaru?" Tenten said, as she elbowed the shinobi beside her.
Although the idea of having Naruto around to lighten the load of whatever they were going to be facing in the morning was appealing, especially when it meant that Shikimaru could nab a full night's rest before hiking up the mountainous trail, the aspect of having someone who he saw as inexperienced as Kaneki tagging along with him bothered him. "… I'm fine if Naruto comes along, and I'm even cool with sharing the reward with him, but… Not so sure if it's a wise decision to bring the civilian along with us— he could prove to be a liability, if not useless."
Seeing that as his opportunity to convince the others that Shikamaru's assumption of him was right, Kaneki appeared to be understanding as he nodded his head humbly. "I'd hate to impose on your mission… The last thing I'd want is to be a burden," Kaneki said modestly, and just when he thought he was in the clear, Naruto immediately perked up and spoke on behalf of the young man who he considered to be his good friend.
"No way, Kaneki! You won't have to worry about a thing! Gamakichi can be the one carrying you around if your legs get tired, and Kurama and I will be there to keep you safe! You've got nothing to worry about— BELIEVE IT!!!" Naruto declared with determination in his blue eyes that made Rock feel empowered by it, just from seeing the blond shinobi speaking with such fire behind his words.
Not wanting to seem rude, Kaneki nervously smiled back at Naruto. "Gamakichi…? Ah, you're referring to the road from 'Mount Myōboku' that you can summon, aren't you?" Kaneki mused, while deep-down wishing that he had it in him to straight up decline the offer all together.
"Yeah man! See, look guys: I told him about Gamakichi just yesterday, and it was only once, and he still remembers who he is! Kaneki is a smart guy— smarter than all of us, actually!" Naruto said, while hyping him up as he brought his arm over his shoulder to hug him from the side. "Who knows?! Kaneki writes stories like Jiraiya: if we impress him with our own awesome skills, he might be inspired to write a story about us! Wouldn't that be freakin' sweet?!"
Immediately jumping on board with the thought of being able to have Might Guy's skills showcased through him written down for thousands to read, Rock practically leapt up with excitement as his large eyes became filled with glee. "Sensei Guy would be so happy if he knew that his methods of fighting could be appreciated by those who aren't ninjas themselves! Who knows, maybe if children read that sort of story, they'll get inspired to become masters of 'taijutsu' themselves!"
"… As long as I get royalties from the book sales, I'm down for that," Shikamaru chimed in, while smiling at the idea of being paid for doing absolutely nothing.
While the idea of being able to showcase to a group of readers that women such as herself can be proven to be just as strong, if not stronger, then men appealed to her, Tenten couldn't help but to pick up on the fact that she was sensing hesitation from Kaneki. "I'm all for it too guys, really, I am, but we haven't even asked Kaneki if he's interested in even going," Tenten pointed out, before smiling empathically at the conflicted young man standing a few feet from her. "What do you want to do, Kaneki? Did you want to come along for the experience, or would you rather pass on it? It's completely up to you— none of us are going to judge you for not wanting to join us."
'… Why am I even struggling with saying 'no'? This is the perfect opportunity to tell them that I'm not interested in going along for the ride— if there comes a time that I need to defend myself, then I risk jeopardizing the life Haise and I have here,' Kaneki thought to himself, while outwardly appearing as if though he already made the decision to join them. 'If they knew the ugly truth about me… Would they hate me? Even worse, would… Would they want to hurt me? I can't let that happen, not when I'm this close to getting back in touch with Sen… Damnit, just say it already— stop giving into peer pressure so easily…'
"… I'm expecting a phone call tonight from an important person from my past. I'll try to make arrangements to meet them within a few days or so, but if that's not possible and they'd like to meet sooner, I won't be able to make it," Kaneki answered, while not giving a definitive response to Tenten's rather forward question.
Hearing Kaneki voicing his concerns to them, Naruto smiled confidently and patted him hard on the shoulder. "Pffft! Don't even worry about that, Kaneki! It'll only take us an hour or so to get up toward the base of the mountain! We should be done within a day, or so!" Naruto declared with a slight amount of egotistical arrogance in his voice, before adding, "I can promise you that we'll be back in the village before the end of three days. If not, I'll have Gamakichi bring you back home— BELIEVE IT!!!"
Seeing how Naruto offered him a way back home if something absolutely didn't work out in their favor along the journey, Kaneki saw it as him no longer having any more excuses as to not go along to support his new friend— especially if it meant that he could possibly expand him and his brother's social group. "… In that case, I'll be coming along then. I'll let one of you know if anything changes, but… Expect me to be there tomorrow."
And as Kaneki stayed behind to exchange contact information with Rock, Tenten, and Shikamaru, Sakura meanwhile was laying in bed with her legs spread wide open— longing for Naruto to take her, after the immeasurable amount of jealousy that had been building up inside of her was too much for her to satisfy herself properly.
With her red-panties draped down around her ankle, while her black shorts laid on the ground with her red-oriental shirt and matching bra, Sakura's skin was glistening with sweat while her comforter had a dark wet spot beneath where she had been masturbating for the past hour. Too exhausted to rub her own clitoris, Sakura continued to have her mind invaded with perverted thoughts of her fiancé fucking her and Kurotsuchi at the same time— making the extremely horny kunochi too distracted to be concerned as to why her libido was so hyperactive.
"Narutooooo… Where are you, baby~? I need you right now, guhhhh…!" Sakura whined while moaning frustratingly outloud within the privacy of her own bedroom; the way her wrist was getting sore made feel helpless while she stared lustfully at all the photos of Kurotsuchi that she knew she had to hide before her fiancé came upstairs to tend to her influx of sexual needs.
And there we have it, Kaneki will be joining Naruto and his friends in taking on an S-rank mission up Hokage Rock to investigate the reason behind the mission seismologists, and why none of the ninjas who took on the earlier search-and-rescue mission never returned.
The main antagonists of the mini arc will be two villains from One Punch Man, who are Dr. Genus and Carnage Kabuto (Basically just a scaled down version of EVA-01, but as a bipedal and extremely intelligent/psychotic beetle). While Dr. Genus isn't capable of fighting or performing chakra, he's kind of just there trying to get his creation to listen to him, Carnage Kabuto will give our heroes some trouble. It'll also be an introduction of how the fabric of reality is beginning to split apart in certain areas, due to Kira Namikaze's ritual being so powerfully unstable.
At first, I was going to have Haise come along for the journey instead of Kaneki, but considering how Haise has Tamamo, it would have been overkill. That, and Kaneki needs to have more screen time than Haise, since Haise is lowkey kind of OP with the fact that he has a servant like Tamamo.
Just imagine Haise being able to use the Rinne Sharingan, on top of Tamamo being fast like Minato, while being able to spam the shit out of her enemies with spells, modify the terrain around her, and that's not even including her 'Noble Phantasm', which pretty much gives Haise powerful gifts from thin air. Tamamo can create magical barriers, and a lot of them, meaning she can pretty much trap her enemies and spam spells on top of that. Let's just say, it wouldn't be a dramatic fight if I included Haise instead of Kaneki.
Kaneki and Haise will keep their regenerative-durability traits from Tokyo Ghoul, meaning that wood affinity doesn't really do jack shit to them. Kaneki will be kickass in the upcoming arc, so he'll be good enough for now. Because this is an AU, I can condense what Naruto has available to him, to avoid having him have too many fucking god-abilities like how he has in the anime.
And it wouldn't make sense for him to have, like, the Six Paths Sage Mode, or the Truth Seeking Orbs, because in this AU he never met Hagoromo. I could give those abilities to Minato, which would explain how he was able to defeat Madara in the past. Naruto could have Bijuu and Baryon Mode, and still have his shadow clones, Tailed Beast mode, transformation jutsu, rasengan (plus it's variants), tailed beast bomb, Sage mode.
Naruto is still powerful, but he doesn't have Six Paths in this. At least not yet.
Anyways, onto the reviews.
Okay, I've done my homework on this, and I can say for certain that Harry Potter would get his shit pushed in by the C-rank ninja, without any hesitation. The thing is that even if Harry Potter has access to spells like Avada Kedavra and Bombarda Maxima, those spells require Harry to aim them, and from what I remember, Avada Kedavra can be dodged by a regular human, and interrupted by a heavy object that can tank it. Fiendfyre and the glass attack in itself are slow, compared to what someone like Naruto faces.
Harry Potter would have to be capable of being agile and superhuman like a shinobi to become force to be reckoned with, which is why I think I'll have the crossovers play like this: Rift is caused either intentionally or by accident, characters from the current AU discover characters from an another universe wandering around, and get pin pointed to where the rift is. They explore it if they need to, or just have an Uzumaki member seal it back up, or even Tamamo or Kurama if they need to be the ones to do it instead.
That way, we can explore new worlds and not be stuck in only Konoha. Meaning that Naruto and Co. will be able to explore new worlds, including Hogwarts. I'd probably give Hermoine Melina as a servant, if I want to go down that route, for the reasons specified. Again, not that Harry Potter is weak, it's just that they lack mobility and need to aim their spells, unlike people in Naruto and Fate, who can just spam the shit out of someone.
But then again, that's kind of what makes Harry Potter the character that he is. He isn't particularly an amazing wizard like Dumbledore, he's naturally gifted but relies on his friends and luck— his signature spell just disarms people, after all. He's good at defense of the dark arts, but not the best at ministry duels. I can have Harry keep the Elder Wand, but can't give him the Deathly Hallows immediately. It can be an AU where Ron did die during the events of the fifth book, and I'll probably have Naruto enter Hogwarts when Harry and Hermoine are already a couple.
Oh, and in the books Harry never snapped the Elder Wand in half… So yeah, that plot you gave me about the Deathly Hallows being gathered together once Hermione puts the Resurrection Stone down on a table beside the invisibility cloak and the Elder Wand would allow them to create a rift. Instead of being teleported into the Throne to be hand-gifted god-tier knowledge, Harry and Hermione have to go through dark arts in order to combat Kira's invading goons and their servants.
Malenia, Blade of Miquella, could have been summoned by the three Deathly Hallows, and allies herself with Hogwarts after her Rot Curse is removed by Hermoine, since Harry couldn't heal her of it herself. To thank them, Malenia teaches them what she knows, and is able to talk to Miquella using the resurrection stone. When Harry and Heromine see Naruto and his friends, they immediately assume that they are for the Deathly Hallows, or just to pillage Hogwarts like the White Suits, so Malenia takes it upon herself to fight for them. Which is where we get Malenia versus Naruto, who is able to inflict her scarlet rot upon others, while not being affected by it herself.
The fight would probably end with Malenia being called off when Naruto is starting to succumb to low chakra reserves, after having to constantly heal himself while using what chakra Kurama has to give him to battle her, now that she's buffed thanks to Hermione. Malenia ends up taking over the fight once the three white suits and their servants try to ambush them with an army of Dementors.
Glad the Karin x Sakura lemon was enjoyed! And btw, speaking of lemons, I love the idea of Annie and Hitch both being dominating girlfriends to Armin, and having him humiliated and treated like their sub is a hot idea. And in exchange, he gets to have sex with them whenever he wants, outside of their 'sessions' with him.
I think Kaneki having sex with Eto when she's performing transformation jujutsu is a great idea, and knowing Eto, and the way I write lmao, she probably would notice Hinami's attraction to Kaneki, and come up with a plane to have Kaneki have sex with Hinami by turning the lights off, and switching places with her. Damn it, I love harems lmao. It'll be Eto's secret treat for Hinami, who will be in a relationship with Ichika too. Who knows? Might even have Eto talk Kaneki into having a threesome with Ichika and Hinami at the same time— incest is wincest, after all.
At this rate, after Naruto explains why he doesn't like big breasts, Sakura might just feel sorry for Hinata and offer to be Naruto's second wife. Because I've just made Sakura bisexual, and fuck I love harems lol. That way, Kushina could feel happy knowing that the Uzumaki clan is building their numbers back up.
And I think Eto and Kaneki would have had bareback sex in the past, with Eto using transformation jujutsu to give herself a penis, that way he isn't suspicious. Hell, it isn't gay if Kaneki gets with Eto when she's using 'futa jujutsu' is it? That way, Kaneki actually had a reason to believe that she was a boy.
And thank you, thank you for the compliments again lol. I wonder if my story would have been more popular during the height of Tokyo Ghoul's glory days lol?
Anyways, that's neither here nor there, becuase im having a blast writing this stor—
Fuck it, sex for everyone! Naruto shouldn't have to choose, Kaneki/Haise shouldn't have to choose, and neither should Eren or Armin! Karin is woman enough for Sasuke, and Boruto is too autistic for anyone but Sarada to give him the time of day. Kakashi only likes erotica, and is an anti-simp. Unless Kushina and Minato get a divorce still, I don't see them sleeping around with anyone else.
Okay, that about does it for now. Have a good one!
