Chapter 25

One day ago – Naruto's Apartment

"Karin-chan, I'm going to give you some books on Fuinjutsu; I want you to read and learn from them. Since you're an Uzumaki, you should learn the art of our clan. Once you've done everything I've asked, let me know, and I'll teach something else," Naruto spoke with a smile as he looked at Karin, who seemed quite excited to expand her knowledge.

She was so happy that she jumped into his arms, he caught her, and both kissed passionately.

"Sure thing, Naruto-kun! I'll learn everything, and when we have children, I'll teach them about our clan's specialty," Karin stated after finishing the kiss.

Naruto smiled and nodded before looking at the rest of his girls; everyone was in the living room since they just finished lunch

Kin, wanting to help him in his endeavors, told him with conviction, "I want to learn that too, Naruto-kun; I want to be helpful in the future."

Naruto put Karin down, and she quickly went to her room to start reading her books.

"Sure, Kin-chan, but it'll be harder for you; she is an Uzumaki, after all. But fortunately..." He made a Shadow Clone.

"He'll help you with your calligraphy and other basics you need to learn before you can start reading the books. After that, he'll start tutoring you in the practical aspects of Fuinjutsu," Naruto added.

The Tsuchi nodded and approached the clone, and both went outside to study in a better place.

"Kurotsuchi-chan, do you want to learn too?" Naruto asked.

Kurotsuchi shook her head and answered, "I'm all right, Naruto-kun. I don't think I'll be good at it. Besides, I lose patience very quickly when things don't go well for me. But we could do something else," Kurotsuchi suggested while wiggling her eyebrows provocatively.

The Uzumaki chuckled and shook his head. "Haha, did you not have enough yesterday? You and Anko-chan were like wild beasts last night," Naruto replied.

Anko smiled as she recalled last night. Almost everyone had been there, including Yugao, who probably realized what they would do.

However, Ino and Karui couldn't be present for different reasons. One because her father wouldn't let her go, and the other one because she wasn't ready for that kind of activity. Even though Naruto never asked Karui to do it, it was just a rather obvious conjecture.

The night had been intense, and it was surprising that none of them were showing signs of fatigue.

Maybe Anko was right; maybe Naruto gave them energy when he came inside.

The Snake Mistress stopped thinking about it when Naruto approached her. "Were you able to talk with Sakura?" asked Naruto.

"I don't know why you care so much about that brat. It's obvious that she wants to continue licking the soles of the Uchiha brat. Naruto-kun, I'm really starting to believe that you have feelings for her," Anko replied with a smile.

Naruto sighed and responded, "And here we go again. I told you already, Anko-chan; I have no emotional attachment towards Sakura. I already told you the reason why I want you to train her, but since she doesn't want to..." Naruto put a sinister smile on his face." I think I'll have to give her a good reason for it."

Anko deduced that something horrible would happen to Sakura. Whatever, she didn't care about her.

"Anyway, you and Haku-chan are going to train now, aren't you?" Naruto asked; both nodded quickly.

"I'll catch up to you later. I'll try to visit Ino-chan because she wasn't at our party yesterday, and she might be feeling lonely," Naruto spoke before continuing. "Well, I'm leaving. I'll see you in about three hours. Haku-chan, I'll teach you the Jutsu that I used against Orochimaru if you want to."

Haku nodded; that jutsu would be helpful if she could learn it.

"Kurotsuchi-chan, do you not want to train or something?" Naruto asked.

Kurotsuchi quickly shook her head. "I'm fine. I'll stay here until you guys come back. I don't want to do anything that has to do with training while I'm here. I decided that I'll take this month as a vacation. I want to relax, and I don't want to do anything strenuous."

Naruto nodded and asked no more, leaving after saying goodbye to everyone.

After he had left, Anko and Haku went to train.

A Few Minutes Later – In the Streets

Naruto wanted to talk some sense into Inoichi; that was why he was walking towards his house. His stubbornness was already getting on his nerves, and even though could see Ino the day before talking to Hanabi, it hadn't been enough for him since they couldn't do much because her father was at home, and for that reason, he left just after a few minutes.

As he walked, he saw several ANBU heading to the Uchiha compound.

Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Why on earth would ANBU go to that place?" It looked like fate wanted his question to be answered because almost immediately, he could feel Yugao's chakra approaching. He jumped to intercept her and ask about it.

Yugao and her team were jumping from roof to roof, and they could hear a familiar voice. "Hey," Naruto spoke as he jumped along with them.

The ANBU looked at him; Yugao resisted the urge to stop and talk with him, so she shook her head and just kept jumping.

"What is it, Naruto-sama? We're on a mission, and we can't waste time," Inu stated.

"That's what I wanted to ask you. What the hell is going on and why are so many ANBU going to the Uchiha compound? Does the great Uchiha require you to pull the stick out of his ass?" Naruto asked with a half-smile.

The ANBU chuckled, but they shook their heads. This time, Yugao spoke in a serious tone, "No. Orochimaru placed his Cursed Seal on Sasuke."

The Uzumaki opened his eyes slightly, but he didn't ask because the Uzuki continued, "You weren't the only one who he marked. We don't know why he did it, but just when Orochimaru was about to hide again, Itachi arrived and had a battle with him. Hokage-sama ordered every ninja available to go and capture him, but he disappeared. He should still be in the compound, so we're running as fast as we can to get there before Orochimaru escapes again."

Inu continued, "Now, you should stay behind. This will be dangerous; he's an S-Rank Ninja, and even though you're the son of Hokage-sama, you're just a Genin; no offense."

Naruto said nothing; he just nodded and landed on the ground while the others went to the Uchiha compound. "Damn you, Orochimaru! What are you thinking? And now he's fighting Itachi. Damn it! I better check this out."

With that said, the Jinchūriki went to the Uchiha compound. He would visit Ino later as this issue was more important than that. He wanted to know why Orochimaru bit Sasuke and see the battle; Naruto knew that Itachi wasn't someone to be underestimated. Not for nothing, he was a prodigy and one of the candidates for the Hokage's title if something came to happen to the current one.

The Uzumaki reached his destination and found nothing flashy. He just saw the ANBU around the area and his father, who was encouraging Itachi.

The Jinchūriki hid and decided to hear what they were talking.

"Come on, Itachi. Don't blame yourself. You were on a mission, and you showed up when Orochimaru did that to Sasuke. Now we must concentrate on finding him. The bastard ran away when he noticed our presence, so he shouldn't be too far from here," Minato reassured with a hand on Itachi's shoulder, who was sitting on a bench.

"But my Otouto, Hokage-sama. I can't leave Sasuke in that state. The mark could kill him," Itachi replied, quite depressed because he failed to help his beloved younger brother.

"It could be, but Naruto survived. Maybe Sasuke will do it too, and after that, I'll seal the mark so that it won't be a problem in the future."

"A-All right, Hokage-sama. I just don't want anything bad to happen to Sasuke. He's the last thing I have left; I-I don't want to lose him too."

"Come on, come on. Nothing bad will happen to him. Menma says that Sasuke has a powerful will. I don't think it's anything serious. He'll surely wake up in a few hours, and you must be there for him when he does it."

"You're right, Hokage-sama. It should stop thinking negatively. If you need help, I could go and try to find Orochimaru. He can't be far away, and if we capture him, we won't have to worry anymore about what will happen in a few days," Itachi whispered at the end, referring to the invasion.

Minato shook his head and answered, "I've already sent all the ANBU after him. If they find a trail, I'll appear with them to finish him off. For the moment, I want you to stay here, and If something happens to Sasuke ..." Minato put his hand into his ninja bag and pulled out one of his three-pronged Kunai. "Stab it anywhere and I'll appear right away so that I can seal the mark when he wakes up."

He handed the Kunai over to Itachi, who took it and kept it in his bag. He nodded and continued, "Hai, Hokage-sama; thank you."

Naruto didn't want to hear any more. Nothing unusual had happened; he thought he could see Itachi's skills, but the Uzumaki had been wrong.

He decided to leave, and nobody ever noticed his presence.

Seven Hours Later

"I-I can't do it anymore, Naruto-kun; this is my limit," Haku stated wearily, panting and sweating heavily due to the training.

"Okay, Haku-chan. This technique is difficult to perform, so don't worry: I'm sure you'll master it in no time," Naruto replied; he had been training with Haku for 4 hours.

After leaving the Uchiha compound, he had tried to talk to Ino again, but it seemed that her father could feel his presence or something like that because when he was near the Flower Shop, the Yamanaka leader suddenly appeared.

The Uzumaki left that place very irritated, and Ino got angry with her father again.

Back to the field, Haku and Naruto were already kissing. The reason? Maybe due to their uncontrollable hormones.

After a few minutes, Naruto stopped abruptly, which confused the Yuki. "Haku-chan, what do you say if we continue later?" Naruto asked with a smile.

Haku sighed and nodded. "Okay. Let's go home; I want to take a shower. Whew, I'm exhausted," Haku replied while rubbing her neck.

Naruto stopped smiling and added, "Yeah, you go ahead, Haku-chan. I've something 'pending'. Tell the others to eat if I don't arrive in half an hour."

The Yuki stared at him for a few seconds before shrugging and saying, "Okay, but don't take too long. I'm starving, and although I wouldn't want to eat without you, I will if you're late."

Naruto smiled and spanked her, which took Haku off guard. "Hahaha, okay. Don't worry, Haku-chan. I just remembered that I had something to do. Anyway, I better hurry up before the sun goes down."

Meanwhile, Haku kept rubbing her butt. Although it didn't hurt her, it was enough to leave an itch. "Hmm, okay. But don't ever spank me again, or you'll see," Haku stated with a defiant gaze and a smile at the end, which made Naruto smile as well.

Both left the field in opposite directions.

When the Uzumaki was kissing the Yuki, he detected the presence of someone who didn't have good intentions. Her presence was familiar, but he couldn't remember it very well. Therefore, to prevent the possibility of involving Haku in a possible battle, he decided it would be best to take opposite directions.

As he walked, he heard a female voice saying, "You're man enough to keep the girl away from this."

Naruto stopped, and without turning around, he uttered. "That voice," He darkly smiled and continued. "Are you the Sensei of that stupid dog breath? Hehehe, tell me, is his arm growing already? Hehehe."

Kurenai growled angrily. "Damn brat! You ruined his life! And do you still have the nerve to mock about it?"

Luckily, they weren't too close to the suburbs yet; therefore, no one could hear them.

"I don't care what happened to that bastard. Now, if that was all you wanted to say, I have to go back to my apartment and take care of my girls."

The Uzumaki turned around to look at Kurenai since his apartment was in that direction.

"Where are you going? You have a lot of things to pay for," Kurenai hissed.

Naruto sighed. "Look, lady, I have a code, which is: never hurt a woman if they didn't ask for it; I have nothing against you. If you hate me for what I did to Kiba, then so be it, I accept that. But don't be so foolish as to challenge me, or you might regret it. Therefore, I strongly recommend you to get out of my..."

Naruto couldn't finish because Kurenai threw a few Kunai and Shuriken at him.

He just jumped aside and sighed with boredom. "Happy? I think it was enough, now-" Naruto rolled his eyes because Kurenai uselessly attacked him with her weak Taijutsu.

Meanwhile, the Yūhi was surprised. She had assumed that Naruto would be someone weak and that he would be worse than she was in Taijutsu. To be honest, Taijutsu wasn't her specialty. Kurenai believed that she could hit him a few times to teach him a lesson. But the more she attacked, the more he blocked her attacks with a bored and tired expression.

That made the Yūhi even angrier since she couldn't believe that a mere Genin was looking at her in that way. Therefore, Kurenai jumped back as she prepared to perform a Genjutsu, one that she had been practicing all these days to give him a good lesson.

"Can you feel that?" Kurama suddenly asked.

Naruto mentally answered, "Yeah, don't do anything; I want to see what she's up to."

Naruto was losing the little patience he had left; he had already given her the opportunity to leave him alone. If she tried to do something stupid, even if it were the smallest thing he could imagine, she would regret it.

Naruto suddenly felt that everything turned black; he could only see his body.

Everything slowly took shape, to a Konoha of nine years ago. Naruto was there just as an observer, looking at his 4-year-old-self walking around the village with a stupid smile on his face.

Naruto remembered this day very well; it was a day he would never forget; the day when his perception regarding Konoha and life drastically changed, and although what he was about to see was something that brought him an appalling taste in his mouth, he decided to watch and do nothing. Kurenai decided to play with fire, and she was about to get a massive burn.

A malnourished Naruto, with worn clothes, was happily walking through the village because today was his birthday, and the people at the Ramen Stand told him they would gift him a bowl of ramen for his birthday.

That was why he was euphoric. In the orphanage, he only received blows and ridiculous food rations.

He continued walking, ignoring the stares of hatred and contempt.

"Stupid," Kurenai heard Naruto whispering to his younger self.

She had no idea what was about to happen. The Genjutsu should make Naruto reminisce his worst experiences. Kurenai thought she would only see a few glares and insults; the Yūhi never expected what she would see next.

The younger Naruto had finally reached the ramen stand. Teuchi and Ayame greeted him with smiles.

The kid smiled back and entered before sitting on one of the stools at the counter. There was no one because it was already late, but the boy didn't pay attention because Teuchi returned from the kitchen with a steaming bowl of miso ramen, putting it in front of him.

His stomach roared due to the hunger; it had been three days since his last meal, and although he had never tried ramen in his life, he could tell it would be delicious due to the great smell that it gave off.

He grabbed the chopsticks, thanked for the food and quickly put the noodles into his mouth.

Kurenai didn't know why she was watching this; the Genjutsu should show Naruto's worst memories, but it seemed this memory was a good one. She looked at the older Naruto and saw that he was staring at his younger self.

After a few minutes, Kurenai noticed that the child showed signs of fatigue before falling unconscious; she saw that the Cooks bowed their heads in regret. Therefore, she concluded that they had used a sleeping pill.

Kurenai heard the voice of a man in the kitchen. "The Demon is already sleeping, good job."

He entered accompanied by two other men; everyone had looks of pure malice fixated on Naruto.

Ayame nervously asked, "Y-Yes, We did it. B-but w-what are you going to do to N-Naruto-kun?"

The men wickedly smiled as the biggest one approached Naruto to put him on his shoulder. "You don't need to know that. You just need to know that your debt is paid. Now, we'll take proper care of the demon, hehe."

"That wasn't part of the deal. You said that you would only hit him a little bit while he was unconscious. Where are you taking him?" Teuchi asked, now having a bad feeling.

He didn't hate Naruto, but the debt for opening his business was high, and these men had offered to pay it if they put Naruto to sleep to hit him a little bit. But now they wanted to take him somewhere else, and that wasn't part of the deal.

"I already told you; it doesn't concern you. Give these people their money and let's get out of here," the 'leader' ordered.

The smallest one pulled out a briefcase and put it on the counter.

"No! I won't let you take him; that wasn't part of our deal," Teuchi interrupted, getting in the door.

However, he received a blow in the stomach that made him fall to his knees; Ayame quickly approached her father.

"Stupid old man. This demon killed my wife. Now, mind your own business or you'll be sorry. Let's go," the leader ordered.

The other two nodded and left along with the man who had Naruto on his shoulder.

Everything changed again, and now they were in a dark room; Kurenai could only hear a leak sound. For some reason, it gave her a terrible feeling, but she just kept watching in silence. Surely they didn't do anything terrible, did they?

A light at the middle of the room turned on, and Kurenai could see Naruto on a table with his limbs stretched out and tied with leather handcuffs. He was blindfolded and had a gag in his mouth, which probably was to hold back his screams; he was still unconscious.

Naruto slowly woke up, to meet up with the unpleasant surprise of being blindfolded and tied up. Therefore, with his limited strength, the Uzumaki struggled and screamed in an attempt to escape. But it didn't help since he was weak, and nobody would come to help him even if they heard him.

But that didn't stop him; he even used the strength that he didn't have to try to escape. To say he was afraid would be an understatement, he was horrified; his heart was beating a mile a minute. The kid didn't know where he was; he didn't know how he got here. All he knew was that someone wanted to do something bad to him, and for that reason, he wanted to flee.

The boy stopped struggling when he heard the squeak of a metal door opening before closing, listening to the footsteps of some people approaching, which made his heart pump even faster because of the fear.

Kurenai already knew what they were up to; she could see the surgical instruments on a table next to Naruto; she was afraid of what was about to come.

She just wanted to give him a lesson; she would have never expected to see what would happen next.

"I can see you've woken up; that's good. It wouldn't be funny to play with you if you were still sleeping, hehe," spoke a person with a sinister smile, taking the gag out of Naruto's mouth.

"W-Who are you? W-What do you want?" Naruto asked with fear as some tears came out of his eyes. The same person pulled off the blindfold, and there the boy saw three men with hospital uniforms, plus some masks to hide their faces.

Naruto looked to his right and saw a trolley with several surgical instruments. For that reason, the Uzumaki struggled again. "P-Please, don't do me anything! I *sob* I- I didn't do anything wrong! L-Let me go, please *sob*," Naruto desperately asked because he saw one of the men grabbing a scalpel and approaching it toward him.

"That's not an option. First, we'll have some fun with you. If you survive, hehe, maybe we could let you go," the man replied as he slowly approached the scalpel to Naruto's knee.

"Nooo! P-Please! I'm begging you!" The kid screamed, struggling even more than before since the scalpel was centimeters away from his knee.

Discretion

That had been too much for Kurenai, who was now shaking.

"Why are you so scared? You wanted to see this, after all," Naruto spoke impassively, but he couldn't deny that he was furious for remembering this day; Kurama as well because he could do little to help him.

"I... I-I d-didn't know," Kurenai answered, hearing Naruto's bitter laugh. "Well, too bad. Here comes the best part, pay attention."

"Enough!" Kurenai shouted as she trembled and covered her eyes terrified. After saying that, everything went black again.

When the Yūhi noticed this, she canceled the Genjutsu and returned to their original spot. She fell to her knees while shedding some tears. "I-I'm sorry; I-I did not know," Kurenai whispered with her head bowed.

She could see Naruto's feet before her; she didn't look up; she couldn't look into his eyes. She had misjudged him and now understood why he behaved in such a way.

If he had to go through those things while being a little kid; it wasn't surprising that he was so cold today.

Naruto bent down, raised her head and grabbed Kurenai by her neck, picking her up. "I warned you. I told you that you had to stop bothering me. Now, you will pay the consequences," Naruto stated with a furious expression.

The Uzumaki squeezed her neck tighter, slowly suffocating her. But he released her, making her fall backward and cough loudly due to the lost air.

"Kurenai, Kurenai, Kurenai. What I'm about to do is something that won't please me, but I don't give second chances. So, hehehehe." Naruto slowly approached Kurenai, who for some reason felt that something terrifying was about to happen to her.

Therefore, she quickly stood up in a defensive stance. "Look, I was wrong. Now, I understand why you behave like this, so there's no need to fight," Kurenai stated, now with a more serious expression.

Naruto smiled and activated his Rinnegan while pointing his right hand at her; Kurenai instantly got ready for an attack. However, the next thing took her aback.

"Banshō Ten'in (Universal Pull)," Naruto whispered, and Kurenai was instantly pulled toward him. He quickly caught her, strongly hugging her from behind.

"Kurama, I'll do it," Naruto said with a smirk.

"Are you sure? You said you didn't like doing it and that you wouldn't do it ever again." .

"And what do you suggest? Do you want me to kill her? I don't have any problem, but that would raise suspicions against me."

"Okay, I don't mind. In fact, that's better. Hehehe, this woman is very attractive," Kurama finished and started mixing Naruto's pheromones with his chakra, creating an irresistible mix for any woman.

Naruto didn't like to do this because he forced them to do something that they may not want and it left a bad taste in his throat, and only if the Uzumaki drank lots of alcohol he could remove it.

Meanwhile, Kurenai was struggling to escape from his grip. "Let me go! W-What t-the hell are you doing?" Kurenai asked surprised because even though she tried it, she couldn't break free.

The Yūhi saw that Naruto slowly raised his hands and strongly grabbed her breasts as he licked her right earlobe.

"W-What are you doing?" Kurenai asked with fear. Wait, fear? How could she, a Jounin, be afraid of a Genin?

Lemon

Flashback End

After remembering that, Naruto sighed and looked at Kurenai, who was about to get on top of him again. He quickly got out of the bed to get his pants, an action that made Kurenai look at him strangely. "Naruto-sama?" she asked.

The Uzumaki finished dressing and turned around. "We can't do it right now, Kurenai. We have to wait a few days; I need to do some things."

He approached her and placed a hand on her cheek as he began to caress her. "Do you remember what I told you yesterday?" Naruto asked.

Kurenai nodded as she enjoyed the touch. "Y-Yes, Naruto-sama... Don't do anything the day of the exams if something does happen, and then I must accompany some men who will be at the West Park."

Naruto stopped stroking her. "You make me very happy, Kurenai. If you keep behaving like this, I'll give you a generous reward in the future," Naruto added and continued as he headed to the door. "See you around, Kurenai. Don't talk about this to anyone, and if possible, try to get out of this building with a Henge. Now, I'm leaving." Without waiting for an answer, the Jinchūriki left the room.

The Genjutsu Mistress sighed in disappointment; she was still horny. For that reason, she took her fingers into her vagina and pleasured herself.

Meanwhile, Naruto was walking the streets toward his apartment; he had to tell Anko what would happen to Kurenai, and Kurama decided to ask about it.

"Hey, Naruto, what are you going to do with that woman? I could tell that you were planning something not very good, but I couldn't figure it out. What do you have in mind?"

Naruto placed his hands behind his head and answered, "I'll send her to the Paradise. Instead of killing her, I want her to work for me. With that body of hers, I'll win a lot of money. Paradise is the most exclusive brothel in the world; she won't have it very badly. They'll treat her very well there, although she doesn't deserve it. The only reason I'm going to send her to that brothel and not to a low-class one is that she's Anko-chan's friend; I'll have to tell her what I did with Kurenai, though I'm sure she will understand my decision."

The Biju nodded and leaned back as he watched his Jinchūriki walking the streets.

Notes:

I'll be clear, yes; Kurenai will be a prostitute. I'm sorry for her fans, but I had already planned that a long time ago. So, there's nothing I can do. She'll be in a super exclusive brothel; they won't treat her wrong, as Naruto said.

The torture the Uzumaki suffered radically changed him; he developed an immense hatred towards Konoha. Naruto recovered thanks to Kurama, and the Sandaime did his part as well.

The Sandaime insisted Minato on letting him live in his house as he healed. Hiruzen was furious about what they did to Naruto.

Now you know why Naruto doesn't eat ramen in my fic.

The Uzumaki already killed those who tortured him; I'll write an Omake about it someday; it was brutal and bloody.

Sasuke has the Cursed Mark, and Orochimaru had a mild fight with Itachi, but it wasn't serious since the Sannin fled because all the forces of Konoha began arriving at that place.

I think the next chapter will be the last before the finals.

Until the next chapter.
