Chapter 17 – A Chat with Tayuya & Tsunade's Decision!
Fu's Naru-kun Sexy Time! (Lime; don't like? Don't read!)
Naruto looked over his now topless, beautiful green-haired fiancé and smiled. "You are just so beautiful Fu-chan. I'm so happy you came into my life." Looking into her eyes, the blonde Jinchuriki placed his hand on her cheek and drew her in for another longer, passionate kiss. As they kissed, the two began to remove their garments until they were both completely in the nude.
Upon separating, Fu pushed her blonde lover back onto the bed and smirked down at him as she sat upon her knees in between his legs. Without a word, the mint green-haired Jinchuriki grasped his rod with both of her hands and giggled at his expression. "It's warm and it even fits perfectly in my hands. I wonder where else it would fit perfectly." Winking down at him, Fu giggled more at his blush before she began to gently pump her right hand up and down the entire length of his nine inch shaft. Meanwhile, with her other hand, the orange-eyed beauty began gently running her thumb in circles around the tip of her fiancé's penis. Both of these acts caused Naruto to moan out in pleasure.
Deciding he wanted to give his wife-to-be some pleasure of her own, the blonde spoke up. "S-Sweetie, umm, can you bring your lower half just a bit closer. I want you to turn it to face me. It's not fair if I'm the only one receiving any pleasure here." Seeing his darling Fu's slightly confused expression, Naruto sat up and lifted her into his arms. Breathing a heavy sigh in and out, the blonde positioned the two of them so Fu's head was inches away from his cock and her snatch was just inches from his face.
Once this had happened, the female Jinchuriki blushed deeply and nodded in appreciation of this new pose. "I see what you…ohhhhhhhh!" Fu moaned loudly as she felt two of her fiancé's fingers slide into her dripping honey pot. Gasping out as he began to thrust these fingers back and forth inside of her, the mint-haired young woman decided that two could play at that game and began to take Naruto's cock into her mouth.
It was a little awkward at first, but Fu managed to take the entirety of his cock into her mouth and slowly began to bob her head up and down, eliciting some rather loud moans from her lover as she did. As this continued, the young woman gasped as she was taking his shaft into her mouth again, the feeling of Naruto's tongue entering her causing her to freeze and moan in pleasure around his cock. Needless to say, this only further aroused the blonde and caused him to moan in pleasure as well, only his moans caused a vibration throughout Fu's nether regions.
Soon enough, whether they were ready for it to happen or not, the lovers came into each other's mouths. While Naruto eagerly lapped up his sweetheart's juices, Fu did her very best to swallow her fiancé's cum. Somehow, she managed to swallow every last drop before she heard Naruto's voice.
"Fu-chan, turn around." Curious about what he wanted to try this time, the mint-haired girl turned around and straddled Naruto's chest, her juices dripping down to his neck, much to his amusement. Without warning, the whiskered young man gripped his fiancé's hips and hoisted her so her honey pot was once again positioned above his mouth.
Naruto soon went back to eating his fiancé out while she bucked against his face, clinging with one hand to her lover's hair. While Naruto used one hand to hold onto Fu's waist, he reached up with the other and began gently massaging her B-cup breasts. The Uzumaki heir would proceed to change which of her breasts he paid attention to at regular intervals so that neither of them was neglected. As this continued, he eventually began to lightly pinch her nipples, being careful not to be too rough, but doing just enough to cause Fu to jump and to cause her nether lips to twitch. It seemed that this small action caused his green-haired lover a great deal of pleasure and he would be sure to remember it for their later 'fun' sessions.
As Fu felt her release coming again from Naruto's pleasant ministrations on her breasts and pussy, she wanted to try and do something to make him feel great as well. However, she was so lost in her pleasure and eventually dug her fingers into Naruto's hair and scalp, burying his face against her nether lips as she came quite forcefully this time.
Smirking to himself, the young blonde gripped Fu's butt cheeks and held her against him as he lapped up everything, including what was left inside of her vaginal walls. When he finally released his fiancé, Fu fell back on the bed, panting and twitching slightly with a happy smile on her face. "How's that for your 'Naru-kun Sexy Time' sweetheart?"
Fu found herself giggling from the sheer bliss of what she had just experienced. She wasn't even going to ask what made him decide to try these things, all she knew was she wanted to do this again as often as possible! Sadly, she was already quite exhausted from her orgasms and was fighting with herself, trying to decide on whether she should just leave it at this for today, or try and get her fiancé to cum just once more.
Sadly, the decision was taken out of her hands as they soon heard Jiraiya and Hinata knocking on the door, yelling at the two lovers to let them in. "Damn it. I only got to make you cum once." As the two giggled together, Naruto shouted out to Jiraiya and Hinata to wait a moment and he'd be right there to let them in. Of course, what the two at the door didn't know was that both of them had to get their clothes back on and would definitely be in need of showers once they got into their assigned rooms; Fu with Hinata and Naruto with Jiraiya.
Fu's Naru-kun Sexy Time End! (Lime is over folks!)
Early Morning the Next Day – Uzumaki-Namikaze Estate
While Naruto and Fu had enjoyed their 'Sexy Time' and set off early the next morning to a place called Tanzaku Quarters, as per Jiraiya's information, things with the Uzumaki clan back in Konoha were about to take a fairly interesting turn. Sean had just picked up Tayuya from the T & I building and had brought her home with him to live in the Uzumaki household.
Yes, Sean had opted to take the pink-haired foul mouth into his home so she would have a place to live. More than that, she was also under his protection now, and that meant she would be safe from Orochimaru should he try anything. However, this isn't the focus of this particular moment in time. There was something else taking place that had Sean's attention.
"Seriously you freaky blue-haired son-of-a-bitch?! You're telling me that I'm going to be stuck living here with you?! How the hell can I trust you not to try and take advantage of me in my sleep you sick fuck?!" Tayuya shouted, clearly skeptical of the Wind God's good intentions. Sadly, it seemed she had roused those that had been sleeping upstairs with all of her yelling, as most of them were currently making their way down the stairs to see what was going on.
The blue-haired Uzumaki head sighed and slapped his face. "Ugh. First off, why would I try to take advantage of a foulmouthed brat such as yourself Tayuya? Actually, let me explain a few things about why that is so very, very wrong of you to say." Glaring into the girl's eyes, Sean held up his left fist and brought up his index finger. "First of all, I'm respectful towards women and would never hurt one unless she was an enemy." A second finger went up. "Second, I'm just not that kind of guy. I'm a good person and I will never tolerate rape or abuse." His ring finger went up at this point. "Third, I have a few women I'm very much in love with."
Just now realizing the others were awake, the blue-haired Uzumaki male blushed furiously as he looked over at Ino, Jima, and Anko, who had actually moved in with him a few days ago and was currently sharing his room with him. The three of them were smiling brightly at him and he froze, blushing even worse before finally stammering something unintelligible out.
Soon enough, the three women came over and sat down nearby, Anko sitting beside Sean and nipping lightly at his right ear. "So you looove me Seanie-kun?" She whispered, clearly taking amusement in his shy demeanor.
The Uzumaki head became so red at this point it both felt and looked as if he was going to pass out! Finally though, Sean got his nerves under control and he decided to speak up. "I…I…" Sighing heavily, Sean nodded. "I took some time to think things over after the Council meeting. I am deeply in love with you Anko-hime." Looking into her eyes, Sean cupped her cheek and kissed her passionately, using his other hand to hold her close against him as he intensified the kiss.
Eventually, Tayuya coughed into her hand to get his attention once again. Breaking apart from his sexy girlfriend, Sean glanced to the pink-haired young woman and chuckled nervously. "Uhhh, yeah. Sorry about that. Just give me a moment longer and I'll get back to you, okay Tayuya-chan?"
As the girl grumbled something under her breath, but nodded her consent, Sean turned back to his girlfriend before looking to Ino and Jima. "However, I also realized how deep my feelings run for Ino-chan and Jima-chan. I'm…in love with all three of you. Ino…" Looking into the blonde's eyes at this point, Sean smiled softly at her and nodded his head. "I didn't realize it before, but all that time spent with you during that month I was assistant sensei to your team? I really enjoyed spending time with you like that. I realized that I felt a connection of sorts with you during that time, and I guess, unconsciously, I kind of favored you over your teammates. It wasn't intentional, as I try to be a good sensei to all my students, but…I dunno."
Ino giggled, but nodded her head in understanding before standing up and walking to her boyfriend's side. Before speaking, she leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. "I understand what you're trying to say Seanie-kun, and I'm happy to hear you say that. You already know how I feel about you, but I'll happily say it again. I love you so very much Seanie-kun and nothing could ever change that."
After Sean and Ino shared another kiss, Ino took her seat once more and Sean smiled at his cousin. "As for you Jima-chan…" Chuckling to himself, the Uzumaki head reached up and rubbed the back of his head in his usual nervous tick. "I know some will probably say it's wrong, us being cousins and all, but y'know what? I don't really give a crap! Ever since you came into my life, I've become a lot happier. I've learned so much about who I am, about our clan…I learned that I have an actual family out there waiting for me to find them! But…more than that, I've come to know you as a person Jima-chan. You're not just family, you're somebody very precious to me. And…I think Naruto noticed it first, but…yeah. I found myself falling in love with you. Now here I am, finally admitting it not only to myself, but to all of you as well."
Jima blushed deeply at hearing this, but nodded slowly and looked down at her lap as she fidgeted nervously with her nightgown. "I…didn't think you felt that way Seanie-kun. But…I'm glad." Blushing a little more, the Uzumaki woman looked into her cousin's eyes and smiled happily. "I…fell for you too. And like you, I don't care what people think. But…I think we need to be honest with you about something Sweetie…"
Anko sighed at this, but nodded her head slowly. Looking to Ino, the two of them saw her nod as well before each of them looked back into Sean's eyes. As she was his first girlfriend, Anko Mitarashi chose to speak up to explain everything they had done. "Seanie-kun…after you were first put under the CRA, Jima, Ino and I got together and discussed you, our feelings, and the CRA. Jima…actually came up with a plan, and asked that the two of us ask you out when we could. You…weren't too confident in yourself when it came to women, and you've been really clueless when it came to us and our feelings for you. So…we had to ask you out; Jima was right about that. We wanted to protect you from having to do something you didn't want to do by helping you to fall for us…so you would marry us…"
Sean blinked at this and took a moment to let this all sink in before he began to chuckle. "Is that all? I'm thankful to you three for taking the initiative to discuss it amongst yourselves. If you three agreed to share, that actually makes it easier on me. I mean, look at the situation I've been put into! You're right, I'm damn clueless when it comes to women's feelings towards me, but…I never really had a lot of female attention. Sure I got along with women just fine, but I didn't get to interact with them all that often. Does that make sense?"
Jima laughed to herself and nodded slowly. "We could tell Seanie. But I'm glad you're not mad at us for doing that. And…" Standing up from the couch she had sat on, the blue-haired woman slowly sashayed over to her cousin, a large grin spreading on her face when she caught his gaze. Upon reaching him, the green-eyed woman put a finger under his chin, lifted his head just slightly, and leaned in close, kissing him just as passionately as she had during the day of the invasion. When they finally separated, the Uzumaki female smirked at him. "You should know that I'll be expecting you to take me on a date sometime soon Mr. Handsome."
Sean nodded slowly, a large blush creeping onto his face once again as Jima returned to her spot next to Ino. When he heard Tayuya grumbling again, the Uzumaki snapped out of his trance and looked over at her. "Oh crap! I totally forgot you were here! What were we talking about again?"
A small tick mark appeared on the pink-haired woman's forehead and she chuckled angrily. "Forgot…I was here? What kind of asshole are you?! It doesn't matter what the hell we were talking about before. I get the gist of it already. You're a good guy with a big heart. What I want to know is why the fuck this Council's fucking with you so badly? Orochimaru seemed pretty interested in you too, now that I think about it. So, mind explaining all of that to me Mr. Windy Shithead?"
When Ino looked about ready to retort and yell at the pinkette for saying such things to her love, Sean raised a hand and shook his head. Before he responded to Tayuya, however, three people walked into the room carrying trays full of breakfast and drinks for everybody. "Good morning Kin-chan, Haku-chan, Sakura-chan, sorry that my conversation with Tayuya-chan woke everybody up."
Kin giggled to herself and shook her head. "Don't worry about it Sean-sama, I told you it was likely to happen." Smiling at her best friend as she laid out breakfast for everyone on the table, Kin spoke. "It's great to see you Tayuya-chan. I'm glad you were finally released. Welcome to the family!"
Tayuya blinked a few times but found herself nodding slowly. "Sean…sama? What's so special about this shithead that you're showing him that much respect?"
The black-haired kunoichi giggled to herself and sat down beside Tayuya. "You didn't know?" Seeing the pinkette shake her head in the negative, Kin smirked to herself. "Besides being the Wind God, Sean-sama is the head of the Uzumaki clan. Besides that…Sean-sama has been really kind to me. Heh…" Laughing softly to herself, Kin took a bite of her breakfast and shook her head. Swallowing her food, the young woman turned to Tayuya again. "Sean-sama told me I didn't have to call him –sama all the time, but I choose to. I have a lot of respect for him and I think he's a really great person. Other than that…Sean-sama gave me a home and a family…I'm actually happy here Tayuya-chan. If you give it a chance, you will be too, I'm sure of it."
As Tayuya turned a shocked expression to the Uzumaki head, he shook his head and nodded towards her breakfast. "Eat. I'll explain everything while you eat your breakfast Tayuya-chan. After spending so much time with T & I, I bet you're starving." Seeing his kind smile, the pinkette nodded slowly and began to eat, a content smile finding its way onto her face. As she talked for a moment about how delicious it was, the blue-haired male ate some of his own breakfast as well.
After a few moments of silence, other than the sounds of forks scraping plates or someone taking a sip of their drinks, Sean spoke up again. "I've never been very liked in the village. Sure, I'm respected, but a lot of people have a hard time trusting me. I've always done my own thing and I'm not afraid to break the rules to do what I think is right. But…I don't think that's the big reason anymore about why I'm treated the way I am."
Sighing to himself, the Wind God closed his eyes and took a sip of his orange juice. "Upon finding out I'm one of the last living members of the Uzumaki clan, I was named the clan head. That I could deal with, I don't really have any problems with that except for the damned Council meetings I have to attend. Hokage-sama and I are almost always outvoted when it comes to certain issues. Gah." Grumbling, the green-eyed male shook his head. "That doesn't matter though. I took special favor when it came to Naruto-kun, even before I found out we're related to each other. I think that sticking me as the clan head was just one more way of trying to control me. It's a little hard to explain, but…"
Leaning his head back, the Uzumaki head stared up at the ceiling and shrugged. "Let's just say another good reason for it is the fact that I'm something of a freak of nature. Your old master, Orochimaru…" Looking into Tayuya's eyes at this point, Sean looked incredibly saddened. "The asshole knows where my parents are. But…he's also interested in me for my power. There's something unique about me and I really don't know what the hell it is. At this last Council meeting I had to attend almost immediately after the invasion, I learned something interesting. Apparently during my battle with Orochimaru, something I did to him is preventing him from fully recovering from his injuries. Jiraiya-sama theorizes that it has something to do with my chakra, but there's no way to know for sure."
Tayuya nodded slowly in understanding. "So that's why he looked so unwell. I thought it was just my imagination or something. That's kind of impressive."
Sean chuckled softly to himself and nodded his thanks at the compliment. "Yeah, well the Council decided it was important to fuck with Naruto-kun and me again. I'm sure you already heard it earlier, but they slapped the CRA on me some time back. They modified it just recently. I need to take six brides now, and I've only seven months to marry the first of them. Otherwise, the assholes get to choose someone for me. During that meeting, Ino-chan's father decided to be an asshole too."
Shaking his head at this, the Wind God finished the rest of his meal and dabbed at his lips with a cloth before he continued. "He decided to try and force Ino-chan to get with Naruto and completely ignore the fact that she was already in love with somebody. When I tried to stand up for her…let's just say certain threats were made against me that I'd rather not have to face right now. If they decide to act on these threats that were made against me, I'll gladly take my clan and move to rebuild Uzushiogakure. Fuck Konoha and its crap if they decide to try that shit with me."
At this, Sean's girlfriends blinked and stared at him in shock. Ino spoke up at this point, wanting desperately to know exactly what it was her father said now. "Seanie-kun, you never told any of us about these threats that were made! What exactly happened?! What did he say?!"
Konoha's Wind God sighed and shook his head as he stared at the floor. "Back when Naruto-kun was born and the Kyuubi was first sealed inside of him…Hokage-sama didn't want any of us telling him about that. But…there was more to it than just that. Hokage-sama knew exactly who Naruto's parents were and decided that he would one day tell Naruto when he felt he was ready and/or mature enough to handle the truth. Those of us who knew the truth, who knew who Naruto's parents were…we were forbidden from speaking of it. However, they didn't realize that I knew."
Seeing their curious expressions, Sean shook his head and closed his eyes. "I don't feel like explaining that right now. The point is, I went against Hokage-sama's orders and explained everything to Naruto-kun. I also helped him. I trained him and took care of Naruto-kun as much as possible."
When looks of realization began to dawn on everyone's faces, the Wind God nodded sadly. "Inoichi decided to threaten me with knowledge of what I had done. Nobody has ever done anything about it and I doubt that anyone ever had any plans to try anything either. I've been loyal to the village and I've done a lot of good as well. But now that Naruto is coming into his own as a ninja, they're beginning to exert their control over him. They're attempting to do the same with me, but making me a clan head makes that a bit difficult."
Grumbling to himself, Sean looked down at his hands and shook his head again. "The point is…if they decide to go through with Inoichi's threats, I can and most likely will be punished quite severely for what I did. And knowing the Council…it could be pretty bad." Frowning again, the Uzumaki clan head shrugged his shoulders. "So, if they try to go through with these threats made against me, I'm taking the clan and I'm leaving for Uzushiogakure. I'll be bringing this entire compound with me as well, house and all. I know how to do that much, and I'd be well within my rights to leave, even if they tried to label me a missing nin as a result."
By the time Sean had finished, everyone in the room looked absolutely horrified and shocked, none of them touching their drinks or meals for some time. As they tried to think of something to say, Tayuya's mouth twitched into a scowl and she shook her head. "Damn. With how those shitheads keep treating you, it's a miracle you even stick around this shithole of a village! You've taken care of Kin-chan and you even decided to take somebody like me into your care as well. You're a good person, I can recognize that easily. I don't know what the fuck is wrong with those fuckers, but I do know one thing: I'll gladly stick with you. Besides…" Sighing to herself, the pink-haired woman let a small smile adorn her face. "It's good to meet a fellow Uzumaki…"
Sean's and Jima's eyes widened as they looked into Tayuya's face for any signs she was lying to them. Before the pinkette knew it, Sean was hugging her tight and she found herself blushing slightly at the contact. "I didn't know! It's really great to meet another Uzumaki. Welcome to the family Tayuya-chan! If there's anything you need at all, please, please let me know. I'm happy to help family and friends both. It's just…so great to meet another family member!"
When the clan head finally released her, Tayuya's face was red and she scooted closer to Kin. "D-Don't touch me like that Shithead! I'm happy to meet you too, but don't do that touchy feely stuff, it's weird!"
Kin giggled at this before nudging her friend in the ribs. "Tayuya-chan's just shy. She's not used to all this affection. Just give her some time and I bet she'll be open to all the hugs this family can give." When the pinkette glared her way, the black-haired kunoichi broke out into a fit of laughter and had to wipe a tear from her eye. "I'm sorry Tayuya-chan, but it had to be said. You know you're happy to get some hugs from a family member."
Sean shrugged at this before he turned around and looked out through the sliding doors that led to the backyard. "It's fine. If she doesn't want any hugs or anything, I'll do my best not to invade her personal space." With a shrug, the Wind God walked to the doors and slid one open. "I'm going to get some air. I need to think for a while…" And with that, the troubled man walked outside and slid the door shut behind him.
Anko frowned at this and quickly finished her meal before taking hers and Sean's drinks, standing from her spot on the couch she had been sharing with Sean, and turning to walk outside. "I'm going to join him. I don't want to leave him alone with all of this. Jima-san, why don't you talk with Tayuya for a while and get to know your new family member better? As for you…" Looking at Ino at this point, the Snake Mistress smiled. "What are you going to do Ino?"
The platinum blonde smiled sadly and finished her meal before doing as Anko had done. Grabbing her drink, she joined Anko at her side and nodded. "I'm going to come with you. Seanie's not doing so well and I just…I want to be there for him. As far as I'm concerned, he needs us." Nodding at each other, the two of them walked outside to join their sweetheart.
As Jima, Kin, and Tayuya began to chat with one another, Sakura and Haku collected the dishes and returned to the kitchen to begin cleaning dishes and to talk with each other. The two of them were very concerned and they looked incredibly saddened at what they had heard. "Sakura-chan…what do you think Naruto's going to do?"
The pinkette lowered her gaze for a moment before shrugging her shoulders and shaking her head. "I don't know Haku. I didn't expect for things to be this bad. If Sean-sensei chooses to leave…I don't know what Naruto-kun will do. I do know that whatever he decides, I'm staying with my fiancé. I love him too much to abandon him."
The black-haired young woman smiled at that and nodded her head in complete agreement. "I feel the same way Sakura-chan. I think Naru-koi is going to be really upset to hear about this. After all, I think he left before that happened, so he might not know yet. If Sean-sama chooses to leave, and if Naru-koi goes with him, I'm following him no matter what. I'm sure Zabuza-sama will too." As a thought dawned on Haku, she began to frown. "Why did things have to get so bad? Haven't they been through enough already?"
Sakura sighed at that and shook her head. "Between the abuse Naruto-kun suffered growing up and the hate he still receives even now? I'd say he's been through enough, but that doesn't seem to matter to the Council." Cleaning more of the dishes, the young Haruno shrugged her shoulders lightly. "Then there's Sean-sensei. Look at all he's been through. He's even had his memories sealed for crying out loud! Then there are all these other unknowns about him…" Scowling at this point, the young woman looked into her friend's eyes. "I'd say he's been through more than enough as well. I just hope things improve soon…" Nodding in agreement with that statement, Haku continued her conversation with the pinkette while the two of them continued washing dishes…
Shortly after Noon – Tanzaku Quarters
The entire trip from Shukuba Town to Tanzaku Quarters, Naruto and Fu hadn't been able to stop smiling. In fact, Fu looked almost as if she was glowing as she held her fiancé's hand and giggled happily. Hinata grew quite suspicious at this, but when she asked Naruto, he assured her that they hadn't done more than 'play' a little. Fu had then piped in and told Hinata that they weren't just going to 'kiss and tell'. The ex-Hyuga heiress grew even more suspicious of what they did, but she decided to trust in her fiancé not to go too far with the mint-haired girl.
Shortly after that particular conversation, Jiraiya had approached Naruto, giggling perversely as he did. He soon asked his godson about what happened between the two lovebirds, but upon receiving a Juken strike to his crotch, he collapsed to the ground and writhed in pain for a while. During that time, two angry women proceeded to yell at him and tell him that it wasn't any of his business. Needless to say, the white-haired Sannin got the message and agreed to never ask about his godson's sexual activities ever again.
In truth, Naruto was trying to be respectful to Fu and their relationship by not talking about their time together in detail. He loved Fu too much to talk about her like she was some kind of male conquest. Still, he had a feeling Hinata wasn't too pleased about the smiles her fiancé and Fu kept sharing with each other. It didn't seem to matter that she had actually shared a similar moment with him during that month of training before the finals of the Chunin Exams! As much as he wanted to say something about it to his dear hime, or even reminisce about that moment they had shared, the blonde realized that the group had arrived at Tanzaku Quarters and needed to begin their search for dear Tsunade. Now if only they knew where the hell she could be…
Jiraiya stopped the group and looked around with a sigh. "Alright, we're here. I'd like to say: 'Let's split up and look for her.', but I wouldn't feel right splitting up our group, especially since we don't know what kind of people are here right now thanks to the festival. It wouldn't make any difference either considering none of you know what she looks like. So let's stick together and get to searching. We're going to need to search bars and casinos for the most part. Don't ask." Sighing again, the white-haired Sannin rubbed his brow before motioning for his team to follow him into the town.
Later that Night
Everyone was beginning to lose their patience, including Hinata! They had searched and searched and searched, only to come up empty every damn time! They were so frustrated they were beginning to feel like screaming at the skies if need be! Realizing that they were getting nowhere and tempers were wearing thin thanks to this particular problem they were faced with, Jiraiya stopped them and told the team that they should get some dinner and then hit an inn for the night. Everyone quickly agreed and they soon entered a rather busy restaurant to get some food.
Shortly after entering, the group began to hear a rather loud woman who happened to be sitting at a booth against the back wall. "Wow, what a loud mouth." Fu muttered to Hinata and Naruto, causing both of them to chuckle.
Jiraiya chuckled as well before he nodded his head. "Well, it certainly looks like we've found her. That 'loud mouth' happens to be the very woman we've been looking for. Come on." Motioning for his team to follow, the group of four walked over and joined Tsunade and her companion at their booth.
Shooting a glare at the people that dared to bother her, the blonde-haired Senju quickly found herself groaning and shouting for a waitress to bring her more sake. "Damn it Jiraiya. What the hell do you want with me?"
The Toad Sannin shrugged his shoulders and poured himself a cup of sake, taking a sip before he spoke. "I'll cut right to the chase Tsunade, just so I don't waste anybody's time here. Konoha was attacked by Orochimaru and he attempted to kill the old man."
Tsunade sighed at this, but nodded her head. "So I heard from that bastard. He approached me earlier today, demanding I heal him. At first I thought it was just his arms, but there was something else wrong with him. Orochimaru's not doing too well. I assume you and the old man played some part in that?"
Jiraiya shook his head. "That's the weird thing; neither the old man nor I played any part in what's currently wrong with that snake bastard." Seeing the curious expression on his old teammate's face, the white-haired Sannin decided to explain it for her. "First, you're right that the old man and I fought Orochimaru. The old man's alive, but he's incredibly exhausted right now after using the Shiki Fujin to seal not only Orochimaru's arms, but also the Nidaime. Using Kage Bunshin helped a great deal to prevent that nasty side effect, but it seems like it's still highly taxing on the user."
Tsunade nodded at that, understanding what he meant. It made sense after all, and she figured that Hiruzen would be like that for a while. However, rather than say anything, she urged Jiraiya to go on. Nodding in response at that, the Toad Sannin continued on. "However, something else is causing Orochimaru all that pain you noticed he was in. Tell me, what have you heard of Konoha's 'Wind God'?"
The Senju woman blinked a few times at that before her pupil, a black-haired woman by the name of Shizune, piped in. "We've actually heard quite a lot about him during our travels. The Wind God is a man named Sean with a truly unique ability when it comes to wind-based jutsu. From what we've heard, it's almost as if he's the embodiment of wind itself." Seeing the looks on the two Sannin's faces, Shizune smiled and continued on. "Nobody really knows all that much about his past or what gives him his unique abilities, but it's clear he's a powerful ninja. We've heard a great deal about his exploits, and it seems he's made quite a name for himself throughout the Elemental Nations."
Jiraiya chuckled at that, but nodded his head. "It sounds as if somebody really enjoys hearing about him. Got a little bit of a crush Shizune-chan?"
Tsunade smacked Jiraiya in the back of the head before shaking her head. "Don't be stupid Jiraiya. Shizune's an eager student, always has been. We've discussed what it would be like to study this 'Wind God' for a time, see what kind of person he is and see if we can figure out what makes him so unique. Let me guess, you know something about him, don't you?"
Jiraiya shrugged his shoulders, but nodded slowly. "Sean is a member of the Uzumaki clan." Seeing their expressions change to that of two shocked people, the Toad Sannin nodded slowly. "That doesn't explain Sean's abilities though. If I had to guess, I'd say there was probably more to the Uzumaki clan that we didn't know about. I could go on with a variety of theories about Sean Uzumaki, but let's say he's got more power in him than we realized."
Sighing to himself, the tall, white-haired individual chuckled softly to himself before downing another cup of sake. "They've made Sean the head of the Uzumaki clan, but the crap they're pulling with him? Well, it's not good, I can tell you that much."
Naruto scoffed at that and shook his head. "That's a freaking understatement! Sean-sensei's a great guy and they've been horrible to him! I wouldn't be surprised if, after we return, we find out they've pulled something else!"
Jiraiya watched as Naruto's two fiancés nodded and shrugged his shoulders before turning back to Tsunade. "I wouldn't be surprised either. But that's not what we were talking about before." Taking a deep breath to steady himself, the Toad Sannin spoke some words he was sure would cause both Tsunade and Shizune a great deal of shock. "Sean Uzumaki fought Orochimaru during the second stage of the Chunin Exams. The Wind God may have lost that fight, but he injured the snake bastard during that fight. I'm sure one of Orochimaru's precious medics healed him, but something happened during that fight that is still affecting Orochimaru in a bad way. The best theory I can come up with is that there's something about Sean Uzumaki's chakra that's having a nasty effect on our old teammate. But…I just don't know. Without knowing more about Sean, it's impossible to tell."
Tsunade frowned at that, but nodded her head slowly. "I see. I'm tempted to return to Konoha if only for the chance to examine him. I'm curious to see what I might find during my medical examinations. But…" Looking into Jiraiya's eyes at this point, the Senju woman shook her head. "I assume the Council has attempted to get their greedy hands on him and set up some kind of arrangement? It wouldn't be like them to give up the chance to exploit their precious Wind God in every way possible with abilities like that."
Hinata looked down for a moment before nodding to herself and deciding to speak. "Sean-sama's being made to suffer at the hands of the Council. They're forcing him to take on multiple wives with the CRA and have even given him a time limit to find a wife. If…If Sean-sama fails to do so, they'll pick a wife for him. Before, he was kind of pressured into accepting the deal of one of the Council members in order to protect Naru-koi and Haku-chan. At that point, he was told he had to take on a total of three wives. Now it's six and Sean-sama has less time now. I'm sure he's been trying to hide it from us, but we can tell how much this has affected him."
Tsunade nodded at that, but Shizune managed to speak up before her. "That's not surprising. Sean's probably just really frustrated that he's not allowed to live his life the way that he wants to. I know I would be pretty upset if it was me in his position. Do you think he'll be okay?"
Naruto shook his head. "Doubt it. There's been so much happening lately that Sean-sensei's been pretty damn troubled. Orochimaru knows where Sean-sensei's parents are and even seems to know more about Sean-sensei than he does himself! Then he has to deal with the Council's bullshit, and that stupid threat Inoichi Yamanaka made against him…" Clenching his fists tight, Naruto could feel a terrible rage welling up inside of him. "Why do they have to put my cousin through all of this?!"
Tsunade blinked at that little outburst. "Cousin? So you're an Uzumaki as well then?"
Jiraiya smirked at this and spoke up in place of Naruto. "Of course. This is Naruto Uzumaki, and you knew both of his parents rather well Tsunade-chan. Don't you remember? They named you his godmother after all."
Tsunade's eyes attempted to bug out of her skull at this information and she ended up releasing a spray of sake from her mouth upon hearing the news. Thankfully, Naruto had managed to use a small wind jutsu to stop it from spraying all over poor Shizune, so the medic-nin's apprentice didn't get soaked. "You're their child?! I…damn it Jiraiya, why didn't you tell me that sooner?! I would've gone back to see him, to help take care of him!"
Naruto blinked at this, but shook his head and sighed. "Wow. I'm not sure what the heck has kept you out of the village this long, but damn. Both of my godparents neglected me and left me to suffer abuse at the hands of a bunch of assholes. You're lucky Sean-sensei took care of me as much as he did, otherwise I think I'd be pretty pissed off right now."
Tsunade looked down at that, but nodded slowly. "I-I'm sorry. I don't know what to say Naruto, nor do I really have any excuse…"
Jiraiya sighed, but chose to speak anyways. "We can talk about all of that later. We've been sent to request that you return to Konoha with us to become the Godaime Hokage. I'm not sure what Orochimaru might have offered you in return for healing him, but I'm hoping you'll choose to return with us."
Tsunade nodded slowly before looking down at her hands. "That's just the thing Jiraiya…what he's offered is something huge…" Sighing heavily, she poured herself some more sake and shrugged her shoulders. "He's offered to bring Dan and Nawaki back for me…"
Fu frowned at this and decided to voice her opinion on the matter. "Listen lady. I don't know who the heck Dan and Nawaki are and I really don't care. Do you really think that rotten snake would keep his promise to you? And even if he did, I doubt it'll be how you want them. Heck, I don't think it's even what they'd want! After all, who would want you to make such a dark deal just to bring a couple of people back from the dead?!" Sighing to herself, the mint-haired girl eyed the Senju woman carefully for a moment. "Is that what you truly want Tsunade? Think about it. You've a godson you should get to know, and you said it yourself that you want to give Sean-sama some medical exams to see if you can figure out what's up with him. Don't get me wrong, I don't want you guys thinking of Sean as some kind of test subject when he's an awesome person, I'm just saying that you've got some serious incentive to come with us."
Shizune feared that her master would retort somehow, but upon looking into Tsunade's face, she was honestly shocked to see such a solemn expression. What she said next shocked the younger medic-nin even more! "You're right. I don't even know who the hell you are, but you're completely right. I'm not sure about becoming Hokage, but I do have reasons to return. However, you need to know something girl." Looking into Fu's orange eyes, the legendary medic smirked. "I never once thought of treating Sean Uzumaki as a test subject. I'm simply curious to learn more about him, and running some simple medical examinations might even help the poor guy to learn more about himself. It would be worth a shot, and it would give me the chance to get to know more about the person that has helped my godson so much."
Shizune blinked a few times and chose to speak up, clearly confused at what was transpiring. "Tsunade-sama? Does this mean that you're going to accept?"
The blonde woman shrugged her shoulders, downed another cup of sake, and grinned. "I'm agreeing to go back to Konoha. I'll need to talk to the old man about the 'becoming Hokage' bit, but I do plan to return with these four." Looking at the ceiling, the Senju woman released an irritated sigh. "We'll need to figure out what the heck to do about Orochimaru and his four-eyed peon before going back though. He's going to be paying another visit at the end of the week…"
Naruto chose this point to speak up, an idea popping into his head. "Then we should probably wait for him. When he makes his appearance, we kick his ass and try to make him tell us what he knows not only about Sean-sensei, but about the whereabouts of his parents! I know it's a long shot, but I want to try and get some information for Sean-sensei. If we succeed, it might really bring a smile to his face!"
Hinata and Fu both quickly agreed with their fiancé while Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Shizune needed to take a moment to discuss the plan Naruto had come up with. "I don't feel comfortable attempting such a thing, but Naruto's got a point. Sean's not doing so well and any good news we can bring him would probably help." Jiraiya stated. He obviously had his doubts, but the Toad Sannin figured the idea was worth a shot. Sighing, he agreed to Naruto's plan.
Shizune looked to Tsunade and smiled softly. "I think we should go for it Tsunade-sama. We don't really know Sean-san all that well aside from what we've heard, but it's not hard to understand that he's suffering right now. He could use our help, don't you think?"
The beautiful Slug Sannin sighed and nodded her head. "I'm in then. If we can help the Wind God out, let's do so. We'll need to come up with some kind of workable plan if we're to have any shot at forcing that jackass to reveal the information we need though." Nodding in agreement, everyone took the time to order their food and began discussing their plan as they ate.
Two Days Later – Konoha
While Naruto's group focused on devising some kind of plan and were getting to know each other better, things in Konoha, or more specifically with the Uzumaki family, weren't so great. Sean was still greatly troubled and had spent a lot of time alone. In fact, there were times when he would just disappear and nobody could find him until he returned again hours later. However, today was not like that.
Sean was currently walking the streets with Tayuya, picking up groceries and certain ninja supplies for the various members of the family. The Uzumaki head was also picking up a few gifts for everyone in an attempt to apologize for worrying them so much. However, as he walked with Tayuya and did these things, the Wind God tried to speak with her about a topic that had been bothering him for a time now. Glancing into his companion's eyes, the blue-haired man frowned for just a moment. "Tayuya-chan, how long were you with Orochimaru?"
Blinking at the sudden question, the pink-haired genjutsu specialist shrugged her shoulders in response. "A pretty long time I guess. Years. I didn't really bother to keep track of my time spent with that creepy bastard. Why?"
Nodding at that, Sean smiled a bit as he hoped his fellow Uzumaki would be able to help him. "Did you happen to get any information on any other Uzumaki's while you were with him? This is important to me and I'd really like to know anything you can tell me."
A frown now adorning her pretty face, the young woman shook her head and helped the clan head pick out some more necessities and groceries that they needed. "Not really. I know he has another Uzumaki working for him, but I don't know where she is. The name's Karin though and she's got some really strange abilities. That's all I really know about her though." Shrugging her shoulders, Tayuya looked up and began trying to think more carefully about anything at all she might have heard. "There's another one that he's got locked up in one of his hideouts. I can't remember her name, but she's definitely an Uzumaki. In fact, I think that four-eyed freak, Kabuto, has been studying her. From what I remember, she's supposed to have the same kind of strange abilities you and Jima do, only she specializes in the fire element. I don't know much more than that though, I'm sorry."
Sean nearly dropped the basket full of groceries at this information. The green-eyed man went wide eyed at the thought of Orochimaru not just having his hands on one Uzumaki, but on two! Even worse was the fact that he had his precious little freak of a medic running tests on one of them! Freezing in the middle of the store, the blue-haired man went weak in the knees and collapsed right there, Tayuya rushing to support him and take the grocery basket into her free hand. "Whoa there! Sean, you alright?!"
The Uzumaki head shook his head. "N-No. I think…I think the one you just described, the fire-user? I think she's my sister. Don't ask me how I know, it's just this feeling I'm getting, but I'm freaking sure of it. Thank you for the information Tayuya-chan. I…I need to think on this. We have to free her and Karin and bring them here! We have to…"
The pinkette nodded slowly and helped her relative to his feet once more. "We will Sean, but right now we don't even know where they are. In the meantime, let's focus on taking care of what problems we can. Such as getting these freaking groceries and getting back to the other shitheads back at the house. They're waiting for us to return you know?" Seeing Sean nod in agreement, Tayuya smirked and slapped his back. "Now cheer up Shithead. I'll carry the basket, you just grab what I tell you to and this'll go much quicker."
Nighttime – Two Days Later – Tanzaku Quarters
Naruto was currently sitting alone in the room he was sharing with his fiancés, just thinking over everything that had happened thus far and the ideas they had come up with. While the planning process was going well, he just couldn't help but worry. If they didn't get the information they needed from that snake bastard, what the hell would they do?! It felt like everything would just be a waste if they couldn't force Orochimaru to talk and he hated it.
Jiraiya was out drinking with Tsunade while Shizune was out sharing a meal with Hinata and Fu. At least that's what was supposed to be going on. When Naruto heard a knock on his door, the blonde rose from the bed and walked over, slowly opening it to see who could be outside. When he saw Hinata standing there, the blonde Jinchuriki quickly ushered her inside and sat next to her on the bed that they shared. They enjoyed cuddling at night, and nobody had ever complained about it before, so they just continued to share a bed like that and had been for weeks now. "What's up Hinata-hime? Is something wrong?"
Shaking her head, the ex-Hyuga heiress looked into her fiancé's eyes and hugged him close. "No, nothing's really wrong. I'm just…kind of frustrated I guess." Seeing Naruto's confusion, Hinata decided to explain. "After whatever it is you and Fu-san did in Shukuba Town's inn, she hasn't been able to stop talking about you. Well, she's usually like that, but she's actually driving me crazy with some of the things she's saying. I swear she's doing it just to get on my nerves or something! But…it really got me thinking…"
Blushing deeply, the beautiful young woman took her fiancé's face in her hands and kissed him as passionately as she could before she began tugging on his shirt. "I…I've been wanting to do this for a while, and I came back here early because I don't want to wait anymore. I know you said we should wait until we feel we're ready, but…but I am ready. Please Naru-koi...please make love to me tonight?"
A/N: I was damn tired while writing this chapter, but that seems to be a usual occurrence lately. Between all the packing and moving things into storage and with how sick I've been and yada yada yada...yeaaaah. Damn exhausted lately. *sighs* Still, I think this chapter turned out rather well. *shrugs*
As you can no doubt tell, there will be the first lemon of the story next chapter. Yeppers, you get a lime this chapter and a lemon next chapter! Great stuff, right? lol. Hope you're looking forward to that. *nods*
Yes, Orochimaru has Sean's SISTER held in one of his hideouts. This is important and will play a part in something that's coming up near the end of Part 1 of this fic. Sooo, I hope you're looking forward to that. As you can tell, things are getting kind of nuts, especially where Sean is concerned.
Anyways, I can't really remember what else I wanted to say. lol. Chapter 18 is up next, so I hope you're looking forward to it!
