Chapter 5 – Mate

Yugao let out a mewl of pleasure as she felt Naruto sheathe himself inside of her. The positioning was a bit awkward for their taste, but damn did it feel good. Slowly, he slid his cock back and forth inside of her. The pace was pure torture for her, and he knew it, too! "N-Naruto-kun. More."

Naruto grinned and lifted Yugao into his arms. Allowing her to wrap her legs around his waist, he began to thrust up into her harder and harder until she was damn near screaming his name. While he would have preferred her to remain quiet so the others didn't find out, he also found himself not giving a shit either way. Instead, he focused on placing little kisses along her neck and collarbone. Then he moved his mouth to her left breast and began to flick her nipple with his tongue.

Yugao whimpered pitifully as her lover tormented her with little kisses and nibbled on her nipples. Grinding her hips against his, she slowly started to match Naruto's pace as she bounced up and down on his cock. "More. More more more more more! Oh Naru-kun! That's it. Fuck me just like that!"

Naruto grunted from the exertion as he continued to pound his lover's pussy. She was clamping down tightly on his cock and it was getting harder and harder to refrain from cumming inside of her. After a few more minutes of this, he said, "Y-Yugao-chan…cumming. Need to pull out."

Capturing Naruto's lips with hers, she continued bouncing up and down on his cock roughly, eager to milk him for all he was worth. "I. Don't. Care. Pour it all inside of me, my wonderful Naruto-kun. I want you to make me yours. I won't even look at another man so long as I have you."

Looking deeply into her eyes, he seemed to find what he was looking for. "You're serious about this, aren't you?" Seeing her nod, he replied by pounding into her tight cunt a few more times before shooting rope after rope of cum inside of her womb. However, as he did this, a strange feeling washed over him. Before he could stop himself, he bit into Yugao's neck, drawing blood as he did.

For some reason, despite the fact that her lover had just bitten her, it didn't feel painful or wrong in any sense of the word. When he finally released her, the two of them saw a strange seal of some kind appear in the spot he had bitten her. Whatever was going on here, the bite marks faded away and left perfectly unblemished skin in their place. Looking into each other's eyes, neither of them understood what was going on just yet. However, neither were going to complain about what had just happened.

Still connected at the hip, Naruto pressed Yugao against the tree and began placing kisses on her chin, her mouth, her cheeks, and her neck. Over and over again, he placed these light kisses. After a moment, he began to thrust his cock in and out of her pussy, causing her to mewl again from the ecstasy she was now feeling.

Slowly, he picked up the pace and began to moan in pleasure as well. "Oh Yugao-chan. You're so beautiful. I will never let another man have you. You're mine, now and forever. My beautiful mate." He said before claiming her lips with his again.

Yugao smiled at her lover and wrapped her arms around his head, burying it in her bountiful bosom. When he took the hint and began lavishing her breasts with attention, she moaned happily and said, "Oh. Oh Naru-kun. I'm yours, now and forever. I only want to be with you. We'll be married and we'll have lots of wonderful babies together." Looking into his eyes, she smiled at him and said, "It might be too soon to say this, but I love you, my darling Naruto-kun. I haven't been able to stop thinking about you since we met. You're all I dream about. You're all I think about. I need you. This feeling is more than anything I ever felt for that scumbag. You make me feel whole."

Naruto smiled at her for a moment before he kissed her passionately. As they kissed, he pounded his cock into her repeatedly until they came together again. Cum was starting to leak out of her pussy, but neither of them cared.

Pushing Naruto down so he was lying on his back, she straddled him and plunged down on his cock, once more taking him inside of her. When her lover began to gently fondle her large breasts, she moaned happily once more. "Oh Kami. Oh Naruto-kun. I love you. I love you. I love you. Ohhh, Naru-kun!"

Naruto grinned as he matched her pace, increasing her pleasure by a great degree. Sure, he would have loved to go harder and faster, but he wanted to ensure that his lover was comfortable and enjoying their time together as well. For him, her pleasure is what mattered most to him as they made love.

When she began to squirt her release, she began to whimper and said, "C-Cum for me. Need your cum. Please."

Naruto grinned at her and pinned her beneath him on the branch. "Your wish is my command, my dear." He said before he began thrusting into her like a jackhammer, constantly pounding her pussy until he finally bottomed out and came inside of her for a third time.

After they had finished, they laid side by side, the two of them panting as they tried to catch their breath. "Holy…"

"…shit." They said as one. Looking into her lover's eyes, Yugao smiled happily at him and used the backs of her fingers to gently brush at his whisker marks. "That was incredible, Naruto-kun. Please, promise you won't leave me. Promise you'll love me for the rest of our lives."

Hugging her closer to him, he kissed her lips tenderly and said, "Forever and ever. But, you remember what we were told, don't you? You're likely to get pregnant if I cum inside. Is that what you want?"

Yugao smiled happily at him and said, "I'd love to have a child or two. Even better if they're yours." Winking at him, she giggled a bit and asked, "How do you feel now, Naruto-kun? Feeling any better now that you've gotten all of that out of your system?"

"For the most part, I feel like I'm in control again. I still feel horny, but not to the point I can't keep it in my pants." He joked. "I'm honestly more concerned with that mark on your neck. I think we should talk to the Hokage or a doctor and see if they know what it is. If it's what I think it is, then…"

Yugao frowned and asked, "Then…what? Is something wrong, Naruto-kun?"

The blonde shook his head and said, "Not really. But I think it might be a mate mark. I've claimed you as mine. I don't know what effects this seal could have on you, but I'm sure it'll be okay. Hopefully."

The purple-haired woman giggled a bit and kissed her lover again. "I don't mind being marked by you, Naruto-kun. If you have claimed me, like you said, then I guess I'll just have to prove to you why you need to keep me around." Leaning in close, she nipped at his ear before saying, "I hope you know I'm moving into your home. I plan to share that bed with you tonight and every night from now on."

Blushing, Naruto simply nodded after a time before he sat up, groaning as he did. "We should probably get dressed and join the others. I'm pretty sure the whole village probably heard you screaming my name." he teased.

Yugao lightly punched his arm and giggled. "So what? The sex was great, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I just hope your little girlfriends don't get too upset with me for taking your virginity." She teased back.

Naruto chuckled softly and said, "It'll be fine. I'm grateful to you, Yugao-chan. If you hadn't done this for me, I doubt I'd be so calm right now. It was taking everything I had to keep myself from pouncing on one of the girls." Closing his eyes, he continued speaking. "I still feel horny, like I said before, but I'm doing a LOT better now. I think I can actually focus on the exercise now. Before it was a huge struggle trying to get enough control over myself to make it work."

The purple-haired woman giggled before she rolled over until she was laying atop of her lover. Kissing him lovingly on the lips, she began to grind her nether regions against his hardening cock once again. "You know, we can keep going if you want. Don't want to leave your friend 'wanting', after all. It certainly feels like he wants to go again. But do you?" she questioned, grinning at her lover.

Naruto chuckled softly and slowly inserted his cock inside of her once again. Groaning slightly, he started making love to her once again. It would be a few more hours before they rejoined their teammates down below.

That Afternoon

When Naruto and Yugao finally came down, each of the girls were glaring at her. Anko was the first one to speak up. "Did you at least use protection of some kind? You heard what the doctor told us yesterday."

Yugao blushed and found it incredibly hard to look any of the girls in the eyes. "Um…no. It felt waaay too good and I couldn't resist jumping him."

Anko sighed and facepalmed herself. "Wonderful. Guess you'll need to check in a few weeks to see if you're pregnant. What were you thinking?"

Before Yugao could reply, Naruto spoke up on her behalf. "To be fair, I think my pheromones were still affecting her. And I was having an insanely hard time resisting the urge to just jump one of you and have my way with you. I had to get away for a time and try to calm myself down. Yugao-chan kinda…erm…" Looking at Yugao at this point, he smiled awkwardly at her before looking back at the others. "If she hadn't had sex with me, I'm not sure what I would have done. I could barely focus on the exercise enough to make it up the tree as far as I did. My mind feels so much clearer now. I feel great."

Saya sighed and said, "Of course you do." Looking into his eyes, she said, "For what it's worth, we aren't mad at either of you. I think some of us might have preferred it if we were the first you made love to, but this is fine. But did you have to be so loud? Yugao-sensei, you were screaming so loud that I wouldn't be at all surprised if the whole village heard you. I wouldn't be at all surprised if more women start coming onto Naruto-kun now, knowing that he's 'a great lover'. Kami you were loud."

Yugao blushed deeply and said, "S-Sorry. It was AMAZING, though. I feel soooo good right now. Sore, but good."

Naruto was blushing as well, but he turned and looked at Anko. "Anko-sensei, something happened during the, erm…sex. I think I gave Yugao-chan a mate mark. I don't know what came over me, but, well…"

Anko quirked a brow before she walked up to Yugao and began to inspect the strange tattoo-like marking on her neck. "Weird. Girls, training's done for the day. We need to go see Hokage-sama and see what he makes of this. We might need to see Dr. Mitchell again as well." Looking into Yugao's eyes, she asked, "Does it hurt? What exactly do you feel right now? How do you feel about this mark?"

Yugao reached up and rubbed the mark for a moment. "It doesn't hurt. At the time, I think it should have hurt, but for some reason, it felt orgasmic. Oddly enough, there wasn't any blood or anything after he bit me. Now, it's just this tingling sensation. And, if it's a mate mark or a seal of some kind…I don't really care. It just means Naruto has made me his and his alone."

"I see. Then we definitely need to see the Hokage and Dr. Mitchell. Come along team." Anko said as she began to lead the two teams out of the Forest of Death. When they reached the exit, Anko's and Yugao's eyes began to twitch irritably. "When'd you get back?"

The person waiting for them was a tall man with long, white hair. On his forehead was a horned forehead protector with the kanji for 'Oil' on it. Strapped to his back was a rather large scroll and on his feet were a pair of geta sandals. This man was Jiraiya of the Sannin and one of the most famous men throughout the world. However, to women everywhere, Jiraiya was the scourge of the Earth. And right now, his perverted chuckling was NOT earning him any brownie points with any of the girls. "Mmm, such a source for inspiration. To think my godson would bag himself such a hottie. I should stick around more often if I'll get this kind of inspiration from it."

Yugao looked horrified by what he was saying. "You didn't…you…you…"

Seeing his mate in such a state bothered Naruto greatly. Grabbing her hand, he ran his thumb over it and tried to help her calm down. Afterwards, he looked into Jiraiya's eyes and said, "You watched us having sex. Didn't you?"

Jiraiya giggled perversely to himself and said, "You're damn right I did! As soon as I heard the familiar cries of pleasure, you bet your ass I was right on that! And daaaaamn was that some fine inspiration."

Tears began pouring down Yugao's cheeks at Jiraiya's admittance. She looked absolutely mortified that the lecherous old man had spied on her in one of her most intimate moments. Anko held her close and did what she could to soothe the woman. Naruto, on the other hand…

Stepping through the open gate, Naruto paused once he was a few feet from Jiraiya. "So, you're the man Gramps warned me about. A negligent godfather and professional creep. A voyeur and an asshole. You've made my mate feel dirty. You've made her cry. And you've made me VERY angry. I'm saying this as a warning because Gramps might still need you: Leave. NOW! And if you ever, EVER come near my woman again, I'll fucking KILL you!"

Jiraiya quirked a brow and remained right where he was. Folding his arms over his chest, he smirked down at Naruto and asked, "And what do you think you can do to me? Besides, I'm here because I figured it was about time we meet. I'm here to offer you some much-needed training! You'd be a fool to pass up this opportunity."

Naruto held up his hand, all five fingers outstretched. Slowly, he began to lower them one by one. Jiraiya was confused by this, especially because his godson wasn't saying a word. Naruto's gaze never left his, which in itself was kind of creepy to the Sannin. When he finally realized what Naruto was doing, it was far too late to stop him.

Before Jiraiya could react in any way to protect himself, a kunai was suddenly thrust into his package, causing Jiraiya to scream out in a strange mixture of rage and agony. He couldn't even reach down to cradle his brutalized penis because Naruto kept stabbing his nether regions over and over and over again. When he was finally finished, Naruto slammed a fist HARD into Jiraiya's face, sending him reeling backwards in sheer agony. "You're damn lucky I don't kill you, Jiraiya. Now, you're going to be a good little boy and come with us to see Mr. Hokage-sama. Try to run or resist in any way and I'll start getting 'creative'. You don't want that, I assure you." Jiraiya simply cradled his brutalized package and whimpered pitifully. He didn't even resist when Naruto started to drag him towards the Hokage tower.

As the girls followed after him, Anko still tried to console her dear friend. Saeko, on the other hand, was doing her best to hide her arousal at what Naruto had just done. She loved seeing him acting so violent. It was a real turn-on for her. The other girls didn't really care much about what he had just done to Jiraiya. In their minds, he deserved it for violating Yugao and Naruto's privacy.

Hokage's Office

Hiruzen could only sigh as he saw Naruto walk in, dragging Jiraiya behind him. When the rest of the team entered his office, he figured he knew what had happened. Activating the silencing seals throughout the room, he said in a deadpan tone, "Jiraiya peeped on you in your private moment."

Naruto nodded and said, "Correct. I'm sure you and the rest of the village heard what was going on in the Forest of Death. I've been in heat and Yugao-chan was being affected by my pheromones. We gave into our urges and made love. Once we reunited with our teams, we planned to come pay you and Dr. Mitchell a visit because something strange happened. However…"

Anko scowled down at Jiraiya and said, "When we reached the entrance of the Forest of Death, we found Jiraiya. He admitted unashamedly that he watched them having sex. He was going to use it as 'inspiration' for his next book. He violated their privacy and watched something that he shouldn't have. So, Naruto wrecked his little package in a fit of anger. And I don't blame him for it."

Hiruzen sighed as he looked at his student. "I see." Calling for one of his Anbu, he waited until they appeared before saying, "Take Jiraiya to the hospital. I'd rather he not die because of his injuries. He still has his uses…unfortunately." Jiraiya merely whimpered pitifully as the Anbu took him away.

Once he was gone, Hiruzen stood up and walked over to Yugao. Reaching up, he began to gently pet her hair. "For what it's worth, I am sorry you had to experience that. I assure you that, once he has recovered from his wounds, he WILL be punished. He's gotten away with his perversions one too many times before."

Yugao looked into the Hokage's eyes and said, "I feel like I've been violated in the most horrific way. He…he saw me naked! He saw us together! And…I never knew he was there. I thought it was just the two of us. I feel wrong!"

Hiruzen nodded in understanding. "Don't let my idiot student ruin the time you spend with Naruto-kun. Enjoy the sacred act you experienced together. Jiraiya will get what's coming to him, I swear. For now, I assume you were coming to see me for another reason?"

Naruto nodded and said, "Yeah. Um, while we were, um…"

Anko chuckled softly and said, "You can say it, Naruto. You two were having sex."

Blushing, Naruto slowly nodded in response and said, "Yes, that. Anyways, during the act, I kind of marked Yugao-chan. We're not exactly sure what it is. We think it might be a mate mark, but we don't really know what it does yet."

Hiruzen frowned and motioned for Yugao to show him. When she did, he took a look at the mark and slowly began to trace it with his fingers. "Hmm…" Humming to himself for a moment, he said, "I've never seen anything quite like this before. It doesn't seem like any seal I've ever seen before. Is it bothering you any, Yugao?"

Yugao shook her head and said, "Not at all. There was no pain involved and it hasn't been reacting negatively to me or anything."

"I see. Let's go see Dr. Mitchell and see if he can determine what this does. I doubt it's anything bad, but it's important that we determine exactly what such a seal will do to you." Hiruzen said before he led the teams out of his office and towards the hospital. I just hope it's nothing serious…

Hospital – Two Hours Later

Dr. Mitchell sighed aggravatedly as he entered the hospital room where the everyone was waiting for him. "You know, I was really hoping that I wouldn't be seeing you all again so soon. Can't always have what you wish for, I suppose." He said with a casual shrug of his shoulders. "Now, I've got the test results here, but it's strange."

"Strange how, exactly?" The Third questioned.

"There don't really seem to be any negative effects from the seal. It is a mate mark, of that there's no question. And chances are high that Yugao-san is now pregnant, too by the way." He said, shooting Naruto a quick look. "As for the seal, it's actually proving to be beneficial, for the most part anyways."

Seeing that they wanted him to get to the point, Mitchell said, "Naruto has injected a potent amount of the Kyuubi's chakra into Yugao's system. Before you say anything or overreact, this isn't a bad thing. It has integrated perfectly into Yugao's chakra pathways and is working similarly to the Fourth's seal on Naruto. The chakra injected into Yugao will, in the end, give her far more chakra to work with. It's a virtually seamless process. Though, there is something that I found quite unique about this seal."

Looking directly into Yugao's eyes, he decided to explain. "You described a kind of tingling sensation coming from the mate mark. Well, after running a few tests, the results were quite interesting. Yugao, I would like you to step with me outside of the room for a moment." Looking at Naruto, he said, "As for you, I want you to think about something. I don't care what it is you decide to think about, so long as you focus your mind on some topic."

Everyone blinked in confusion at the strange request. However, Naruto and Yugao went along with what the good doctor instructed. After stepping outside of the room, Dr. Mitchell held up a single finger to Yugao and said, "Wait until I give you your instructions." Seeing her nod in response, he counted down from 5 to 1. "Now, I want you to tell me what Naruto is thinking."

Yugao blinked in confusion and went to ask him what he meant, only for words and images to suddenly sprout up in her mind. "Why is he thinking about my butt? Um…" Blushing deeply at the thoughts and images in her head, she looked into Mitchell's eyes and asked, "What the hell is going on here?"

Chuckling softly, the doctor led her back inside of the room. "Naruto, can you tell us what you were thinking of just now?"

Naruto blushed deeply and said, "Um, I would really rather not. It's kind of embarrassing."

Yugao smirked at him and said, "You were thinking about my butt."

Eyes widening, Naruto soon facepalmed and said, "Right. But how did you know that?"

Dr. Mitchell took over from here. "The mate mark allows Yugao to see and hear what you're thinking about. There are ways to prevent this from happening, such as putting up a type of mental block when you don't want your thoughts to be heard by anyone you've mated with. But, for the most part, any mate you mark will be able to see and hear your thoughts. This works both ways. So, whatever your mates think and envision, so will you. I would recommend talking with Inoichi Yamanaka and learn from him how to control your mental faculties, so you aren't always hearing one another's thoughts."

"You and your mates can also sense what you all are feeling. Take for instance one of you is feeling scared or worried about something. While you might not know what has them feeling that way, you'll still know and should be able to help each other. There is a limited distance on your 'telepathy', let's call it. However, there is no limit for emotion sensing. No matter how far apart you may be, you can still detect each other's emotions."

"Anyways, my point here is that there's really nothing to worry about. You will need to train in chakra control to get used to your expanding reserves. But overall, it's pretty much harmless." Mitchell finished, offering everyone a reassuring smile.

Naruto breathed a sigh of relief before something clicked in his brain. "Wait, if I have to go through heats…do we need to worry about something like that with Yugao-chan?"

Mitchell shook his head and said, "No. And your mates will no longer be affected by your pheromones, so you're safe to be with them. In fact, it would probably be safest for you to be around your mates when you go into heat." When Naruto went to ask another question, Mitchell interrupted him. "Yes, I keep saying mates, plural. Naruto, whether you and your mate like it or not, you're going to need more than one mate to keep yourself sane. Your heats will get harder to deal with and will only continue to grow worse as time passes. You need multiple mates to help keep yourself under control. Besides that, you have girlfriends and fiancés besides Yugao-san here. There really isn't much of a choice for you, I'm afraid."

"I…I see. And I can apply this mate mark to them as well?" Seeing Mitchell nod in response, Naruto chuckled dryly and said, "I was never meant to have a normal life, was I?"

While the others giggled in response, Hiruzen patted Naruto on the head and said, "No. You most certainly were never going to have a normal life. Kushina's probably smiling down on you from Heaven by now. And both she and your father are probably having a good laugh right now."

Naruto chuckled in response and said, "Thanks Gramps. Now, if it's alright with all of you, I'd like to go home and get some rest. I'm actually kind of exhausted after today."

The Hokage frowned sadly at his surrogate grandson and said, "I'm afraid there's still more you have to deal with today, Naruto-kun. Despite having a good reason for it, you maimed a senior shinobi and quite viciously at that. The people will be looking for answers. I need to call the councils together so we can discuss what happened earlier. I assure you; I have no intention of punishing you and I won't let others push me around on that front either. I just want to head this off before they get it into their thick heads that they run things around here instead of me."

Naruto groaned and said, "Dammit. I hate trying to deal with the councils and their 'esteemed wisdom'."

Hiruzen chuckled softly and patted Naruto atop the head. "As do I. Now…" Looking back at Teams 11 and 12, he said, "Follow me, please. It's time to address the councils and nip this problem in the bud."

"Right, Hokage-sama!"

Council Chambers

When the councils had entered and seated themselves, Naruto honestly wasn't sure how to feel. The clan heads supported him wholly, but the elders were another matter entirely. The lone civilian representative was the only one who hadn't shown up, but considering this was a shinobi problem, that wasn't surprising. Taking a moment to breathe and steady himself, Naruto listened as the Hokage began to speak.

"I have called you all here to address an issue that took place earlier today. In order to explain the circumstances, you should know that Naruto went into heat, similar to some animals. He was exuding pheromones that were beginning to affect the women around him. I'm sure most of you heard the sounds coming from the Forest of Death earlier today." Seeing the blushes on some of their faces, he chuckled softly and said, "Yes. Naruto-kun and Yugao were making love. This actually ties into what we need to discuss."

"As you know, Jiraiya is a lecherous man with certain 'vices'. When it was found out that Jiraiya had used his invisibility technique to watch them having sex, Yugao was mortified to the point she began to cry. Naruto gave Jiraiya a warning to leave. Naruto would have left him alone and would have done what he could to console his new mate."

Sighing softly, the Hokage shook his head in disappointment. "Jiraiya insisted on taunting Naruto-kun. So, Naruto proceeded to stab Jiraiya in the crotch so many times it was impossible to truly count. The damage was quite severe. Needless to say, it's highly unlikely that he'll ever have full use of his penis again."

Looking around at everyone, he said, "I wanted to bring this matter to your attention as a courtesy. Personally, I don't want to punish Naruto-kun for what he's done, but I would like to hear what you all have to say."

Danzo frowned as he looked down into Naruto's eyes. "Be that as it may, Naruto Uzumaki has still attacked a senior shinobi and our source of information on the goings-on in the world beyond our walls."

Inoichi quirked a brow as he looked at Danzo. "You're saying this after letting Busujima-san get away with killing her classmates all those years ago. I get the feeling you're after something, Danzo."

The bandaged man never looked away from Naruto. "You would be correct. I believe our weapon is getting out of control. He seems to think that he can do whatever he wants without some form of punishment. I say we make an example of him."

Naruto scowled at the one-eyed freak and said, "I am NOT a 'weapon', as you so put it. I am a person. A human being with feelings and thoughts of my own. Or did you not get the memo?"

"You are our village's WEAPON, Naruto Uzumaki. That is all you are and all you will ever be." Danzo retorted.

Hiruzen slammed his fists onto the table before him and shouted, "You will refer to him by name and treat him as a human being or I'll have your blasted head! Do you understand me, you asshole?!"

Danzo quirked a brow and asked, "Would you really go so far to protect this village's weapon? That is why he was made. That is why the Kyuubi was sealed within him. The Fourth wanted this village to have its weapon and now it's out of control. Something clearly has to be done or our weapon will continue to act out."

Rising from his chair, Hiruzen approached Danzo and proceeded to slam his fist into Danzo's bandaged eye, eliciting one hell of a scream from Danzo. Before the old cripple could react, Hiruzen ripped off his bandages and proceeded to stab his nemesis' eyes, both the Sharingan and his regular eye. He didn't even stop to ask what the hell Danzo had done to himself. However, when Danzo slipped away somehow, numerous eyes on his arm now closed, Hiruzen shot a quick glance at one of his hidden Anbu.

Seemingly getting the message, the Anbu appeared behind Danzo and lopped off his disfigured arm. At the same time, Hiruzen severed the evil man's head from his neck. Afterwards, he took a moment to breathe in an effort to calm himself. Afterwards, he ordered someone to clean the mess while he took his seat once again. Smiling at Homura and Koharu, he asked pleasantly, "Would either of you care to say something smart, as well? I'm feeling quite refreshed now, after all. That was oddly therapeutic." They quickly shook their heads negatively, not wanting to piss Hiruzen off. Smiling kindly at them, he said, "Good choice."

Looking at the clan heads, Hiruzen asked, "So, what are your thoughts on what happened to Jiraiya? Be honest."

Tsume shrugged and said, "I say the bastard got what he deserved. Was it a tad extreme? Sure. But if he had peeped on my daughter or me in the act of fornicating with somebody, you can damn well bet I wouldn't have let him off as easy as Naruto did."

Shikaku sighed and said, "It's too damn troublesome to think about. As a fellow man, I'm sure the pain is excruciating. However, I also realize that his perversions would one day land him in serious trouble. I can only imagine how violated Yugao and Naruto must have felt. Perhaps what they even still feel. So, despite the fact that he has his uses, I believe he finally got what he deserved. I'm sure my peers will agree with me on that."

Everyone else on the council nodded in response, effectively giving the Hokage their answer. Eventually, after some more discussion, it was decided that Naruto wouldn't be punished for his actions. Even better for everyone involved, Danzo was dead! Hooray for that!

When it was all over, Naruto was happy to just go home. However, along the way he realized he had some followers. Glancing back over his shoulder, he watched Yugao and Saeko as they walked up to him. "Um, why are you two following me?"

Yugao smirked at him and said, "Don't you remember? I told you I was moving in with you. We're going to be sharing that bed of yours."

Naruto's eyes widened in realization, and he said, "Ah. Yeah, I remember that. Today's been such a long day I totally forgot. Saeko-chan, what about you?"

Saeko smirked and walked up to him until she was mere inches away from touching him. "I've decided that I shall move in as well. What you did today got me all hot and bothered. I want to feel your touch. I want your love. Your kisses. I want you. So, I'm moving in."

Naruto blushed a moment before going to speak. However, before he could, Saeko pressed her lips to his and pressed herself against him. It certainly gave Naruto a pleasant feeling! When they finally parted moments later, she smirked at him before walking off in the direction of his home.

Yugao smirked as she walked up to her lover. "Well, you've already got one woman lining up to be your next mate. Probably others, as well." She teased.

Naruto chuckled and said, "Yeah, it sure seems that way."

Rounding the corner, they were a little surprised to see both Miku and Hinata waiting for them. Seeing their angry stares, Naruto knew he had fucked up. As he approached them, he tried to offer them a disarming smile, but it didn't help in any way. "Girls, um…hi?"

Hinata turned her gaze from Naruto to Yugao. After a moment, she shook her head and looked into Naruto's eyes. "I thought that one of us would be the first one to get you. Instead, she got to you first. Mind explaining that to us, Naruto-kun?"

Naruto sighed and shook his head. "Let's go inside. I'll explain everything to you that I can. Suffice it to say, I NEEDED to have sex. If I didn't…" Shaking somewhat from the scary thought, he soon said, "Like I said, I'll explain once we're inside." And with that, he led everyone into his home. After a moment, however, he created 15 clones and sent them to pack up Saeko's and Yugao's things and bring them here, to his home.

Sitting down on one of the couches, he massaged his forehead for a time before beginning his explanation. "Miku-chan. Hinata-chan. The other day, after helping Yugao-chan out with Hayate, she kissed me. Then yesterday, I don't really know how to describe it. We kissed again and we very nearly had sex. I felt so hot and apparently I was running a bad fever."

"We went to see my usual doctor and found out that I had gone into heat, like a cat or a fox would do. My pheromones were causing the women around me to, erm…lust after me, I suppose. Yugao-chan was having it the hardest, considering we were practically all over each other. And I couldn't concentrate enough to get through training. All I could think about was the fact that I NEEDED to have sex. I was struggling to get my emotions, my thoughts, and my chakra under control so I could work on that damn tree climbing exercise."

"Anyways, earlier today, we made love. I don't regret it, and Yugao-chan doesn't either. I, erm…I even gave her a mate mark. A type of seal that binds her to me, in a sense." Naruto explained. "I'm feeling a LOT calmer now than I was earlier. However, according to Dr. Mitchell, my heats are only going to get worse. And apparently, I need a number of mates to help get myself under control. Yugao-chan is simply the first of, what I assume will be, many mates. So, I'm sorry that you girls weren't first. But I had to get it out of the way somehow and Yugao-chan was there to help me at that moment in time."

Hinata's eyes were wide before she quickly glomped her fiancé. "Sweetheart, I am so sorry I wasn't there for you! I didn't know you were going through something like that. If we didn't have training of our own to do, I would've been there at your side. If only we had been placed on the same team."

Miku, on the other hand was licking her lips and squirming in her seat a bit. Oh, I am sooo making him mine tonight. Standing up, the seductress approached Hinata and Naruto. Reaching around Hinata, she began to massage her large breasts, eliciting a squeak followed by a moan. Once she had had her fill of Hinata's luscious breasts, she leaned in and kissed Naruto on the lips. "Oh honey, I think you and I need to spend some 'quality' time together tonight. I want you to make me yours. Mark me and make me scream your name. And this time, I'm NOT taking 'no' for an answer."

Chuckling softly, he turned his gaze onto Hinata and snaked a hand downwards until he was gripping her ass. The other one slid up under her shirt and began to gently fondle her large breasts. "I think the two of you should definitely join me tonight. In fact, why don't all five of us have a little 'fun' together, hm?"

Each of the girls blushed a bit, but not one of them complained. Instead, they watched as a clone of Naruto went to begin cooking a meal for them. Meanwhile, the group of five hurried off to the master bedroom where moaning and calling each other by their names could be heard from the open room. It would seem as if they had forgotten to shut the door and activate the silencing seals within the room. Lucky Boss. The clone thought as he resumed cooking for everyone.

One Month Later

The past month had been wonderful for Naruto and his girls. So far, he had given his mate mark to Hinata, Miku, and Saeko. Naturally, this was done on the very night that they first made love one month ago. However, at the current moment in time, he could feel the effects of his heat starting to come in once again. So far, the effects were manageable and not a problem. However, he knew that would likely change at some point in the near future.

Now, however, Team 12 stood before the Hokage. Hiruzen had summoned them to his office earlier and it sounded like he had something urgent he needed to say. Seeing he had their attention, he began to speak. "Team 12, thank you for coming on such short notice. I know you have yet to take a mission outside of the village, and I understand why that is. However, we have something of an emergency on our hands."

"A week ago, per Kakashi's insistence, I gave Team 7 a C-rank escort mission. It seemed simple enough on paper, but it would seem things took a turn for the worst. Shortly after leaving Konoha, Team 7 came under attack by the Demon Brothers, formally a duo of Kirigakure shinobi. This immediately bumped the mission up to a B-rank at the least. However, upon arriving in the Land of Waves, they were soon attacked by Zabuza Momochi, the Demon of the Hidden Mist. The battle was an arduous one and would have likely brought the attention of 'Them'. However, it would seem that the island nation hasn't been swarmed by 'Them' yet. So, despite the fact that a battle was raging between Team 7 and Zabuza, none of 'Them' showed up."

"There is a problem, however. Zabuza managed to escape and is likely plotting his next move. I'm hoping that Kakashi can tell you everything in detail once you arrive. What I am most worried about, however, is the fact that Tazuna is building a bridge that will connect the Land of Waves to the Land of Fire. While 'They' tend to stay away from large villages, I worry that Tazuna is only going to put himself and his people in grave danger."

Sighing softly, Hiruzen rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, "There must be some reason Tazuna feels the need to build this bridge of his. I want you to get the information from Kakashi and determine what to do from there. If this means you have to assassinate somebody, then I want you to do it without hesitation. While a bridge would prove beneficial in certain trade agreements, I'd prefer it if Tazuna stopped before he needlessly puts his people in more danger."

Yugao nodded in understanding. "Of course, Hokage-sama. We'll do what needs to be done. Within reason, of course."

"Thank you. I suggest you all pack for at least a month, perhaps longer. This is going to be a hard mission, but I have faith in each of you. And do be sure to take your weapons with you. While they may be more useful for executing 'Them', they can still prove useful when facing enemy shinobi." Hiruzen said.

The Genin of Team 12 nodded and proceeded to leave the room so they could go and collect their things. As soon as they were alone in the office, Hiruzen looked into Yugao's eyes and said, "I want you to use this mission as a means of testing your Genin. I want to know what they're capable of and I want to know what areas they need improvement in. Only assist them should they need it."

"Yes, Hokage-sama. If that is all, I need to return home and pack my things." Yugao said.

Hiruzen smirked at her and asked, "How have you been doing since moving in with Naruto-kun?"

Yugao blushed deeply and said, "E-Erm…it's been great. That's all I'm going to say. Goodbye, Sir." And with that, she left the office.

The Third simply chuckled before he resumed his work. Naruto, you are one lucky young man.

Gates of Konoha

As the gates began to swing open, the Genin of Team 12 took in a breath before releasing it slowly. Looking at their sensei, they waited for their orders.

Looking at her Genin, Yugao offered a supportive smile. "Well, this is our first mission outside of the village. How do you three feel?"

"Honestly, Yugao-sensei? Nervous. Apprehensive. Hell, take your pick. This is the first time we'll be fighting enemy ninja out to kill us. And then we have to avoid running into any of 'Them'. It's honestly kind of frightening to think about." Saya said.

Naruto simply smiled at his mate and said, "I'm ready for this. Yeah, I'm a little nervous, but I'm excited too."

Saeko tapped her sheathed katana against her shoulder and said, "I'm ready. No matter what it takes, I plan to ensure we all return home alive."

Yugao smiled at her team and said, "Of course. Let's get going everybody. The sooner we get there, the sooner we can find out what's really going on." And with that, the team set out. None of them knew what to expect, but they were ready for anything that might get in their way. Don't you worry. I'll protect each one of you, no matter what it takes.

A/N - And that's the chapter! I was hoping to introduce 'Them' in this chapter, or at least get started on the mission in the Land of Waves. However, that didn't exactly happen. Still, hopefully you enjoyed the chapter regardless!

Anywho, I feel like crap right now. Been under a lot of stress thanks to personal and family issues. Things have been so chaotic lately and there are people driving me freaking nuts. x.x I'm just having a hard time lately.

I really don't know what to say here. I think I need to relax with a good video game and chill for a while. I just need a break. And no, I don't know what I'll work on next. I'll figure it out later. lol
