"Captain's log; Star date 41671.8. We are wrapping up the repairs on the Peterson after a long and tiring battle. Soon the crew will be able to return to their ship. And for our part, we have acquired a large piece of Romulan technology that could be beneficial to the Federation in the long run. As for our two new Ensigns, I have given them the day off to relax after their first emergency situation. Afterwards, we are to depart to the Promellian star system to investigate in an odd reading coming from that area." Picard said into his log.
It was then that the bell to his ready room beeped.
"Come" Was Picard's answer. Riker walked in with a PAD in his hand.
"I have the full damage report, sir." Riker stated.
Picard let out a sigh as he took the PAD and started reading over it. He was not pleased to what he saw.
"8 crew members lost in the hull breach... That's a real shame..." Picard said with a heavy heart. He looked over the damage further to see that a lot of it was minor. "Well, this doesn't look too bad. The Enterprise has certainly seen worse." Picard said as he set the PAD down.
"Are we going to Star base 298 with the Warbird?" Riker asked.
"No. We are going to be headed to the Promellian star system once repairs are complete. We are detecting an odd reading in that area and we're going to investigate."
"One of the other ships couldn't do that?"
"We're an exploration ship. It's our duty. Besides, it is also the remnants of two long since extinct races and the battle they fought."
"So this is a history tour? Sounds like fun." Riker said with a grin.
"Indeed. And if from what Dr. Crusher has told me, I think a certain pink haired doctor would find this very interesting." Picard said with an amused tone.
Down in Naruto's and Sakura's room, the two new couple were sharing some Sonic Shower time. They have decided that today would be a good day to go out on their first real date together. Although, they have yet to decide on a location.
"What about Tenforward?" Naruto suggested as he massaged Sakura's shoulders, lathering them up.
"Too crowded. I want something more private. Plus, I heard that is more of a bar type of place." Sakura replied.
Naruto thought about it some more as his mind wandered.
"The arboretum?" Naruto asked.
"Interesting, but that's more of a second date thing." Sakura responded.
"What about that one sport thing Crusher mentioned? Bowling was it?"
"That sounds pretty cool, but we can do that later tonight. Where were you this morning?" Sakura asked.
"I was on the holodeck doing some training. Apparently they can generate these real opponents based off of other aliens for you to fight. They're piss weak though, I barely broke a sweat after 18 waves." Naruto said as his hands snaked around to Sakura's front.
"Can it create other areas?" Sakura asked as she felt Naruto lather up her boobs.
"I think so."
"Let's go by there and see what they ha-oh my god... Get your hand... mmm... out of my pussy please..." Sakura moaned. "Save... that for later..."
"Aw, but Sakura-chan... I'm hard as a rock right now..." Naruto whined.
'Oh... fuck it...' Sakura thought as she leaned against Naruto with her arms around Naruto's head.
"Just make it a quick one..." Sakura moaned.
Elsewhere, Geordi was working down in engineering to rebalance the warp core.
"Ensign, see if you can lock down that coupler. If that blows off, we're going to be in a heap of trouble." Geordi ordered.
"Aye, sir."
Geordi then made his way over to his office area and looked over the weapon systems and shields to make sure they were working okay.
"Lieutenant, What's the status of the phasers?" Geordi asked.
"The ventral emitters are giving me some trouble and the aft torpedo launcher is still offline. That last plasma torpedo did a number on it." the lieutenant said.
"Do what you can." Geordi said as he checked on the shields.
Sometime later, Naruto and Sakura found their way to Holodeck two. Naruto scrolled through all of the programs that was on the screen, but couldn't find one that he liked.
"So many to choose. Where do you want to go, Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked.
"How about Earth?" Sakura asked.
"SPECIFY LOCATION." The computer stated.
"The beach." Naruto commanded.
"THERE ARE OVER 148,000 LOCATIONS ON RECORD FOR SPECIFIED PLANET."
"Crap, this is tougher than I thought." Naruto said as he scratched his head.
"Hmm..." Sakura mused as she looked through the database. "Computer, display tropical areas with shallow surfs."
"THERE ARE 20 LOCATIONS ON EARTH THAT MATCH YOUR REQUEST."
Sakura looked through the program list until she found the one that she seemed to like the best.
"Resort Paradise in the Bahama's?" Sakura read.
"PROGRAM COMPLETE. ENTER WHEN READY." The computer said.
Sakura looked at Naruto who just shrugged as she did the same. The large doors slid open and revealed a beautiful sandy beach with crystal blue waters as clear as glass. Various tropical birds calling with the sun shining bright. Palm trees swaying in a light breeze as resort staff walked around.
It was perfect.
"Oh my god... Naruto it's so beautiful!" Sakura gasped out as the doors closed behind them and disappeared.
"Holy crap, now this is what I'm talking about." Naruto agreed.
They looked behind them to see the resort hotel with various guests walking about. They looked out into the water where they saw large waves and surfers in them. this truly was Paradise. But then Sakura looked upon her attire and Naruto's they were wearing their clothes that they had often worn throughout the years in Konoha and wasn't suited for a beach setting.
"Well, damn. While this is absolutely breathtaking, we're not really dressed for it." Sakura pointed out.
"Who says we need to be dressed?" Naruto replied in a husky voice.
"Oh you perv." Sakura giggled. "Computer, remove the people from the program, except for one person to serve us drinks."
The computer removed all the holograms of the personal and guests except for one.
"Make that person a giant living teddy bear." Naruto added.
"What the fuck! Hahaha!" Sakura laughed. "Why would you ask that?"
"I've always wanted to be served drinks by a giant living teddy bear." Naruto shrugged.
'Bullshit, you just feel uncomfortable with another man looking at your girl naked. Even when he's a damn hologram.'
'Well, you've seen her through me, how about I have you do it?' Naruto shot back.
'Maybe I will! I'll wear the vest and the bowtie and everything!'Kurama replied without thinking.
'Deal!' Naruto smirked.
'What?! Wait, no!'
"Hold on a second, Sakura-chan." Naruto asked his lover. He then lifted up his shirt while focusing chakra into the tips of his fingers on his free hand. He caged his fingertips on the outer edge of the seal that appeared on his stomach. Then he gave it a good twist before raising his hand up and slamming it down into the sand.
"Demon Seal Summoning Jutsu!"
A massive explosion of sand and smoke covered the entire beach, blinding both Naruto and Sakura until the dust cleared, revealing an enormous blood red orange fox with the ears of a rabbit and 9 tails swishing individually.
"The fuck, Kit? You only released me at half my power!" Kurama bellowed, his voice booming with every syllable.
"Yea because I don't want you blowing a hole through the ship. for that matter, see about reducing your size." Naruto said as he removed his shirt.
"I really hate you right now..."
"Love you too." Naruto snickered as he dropped his pants.
Kurama grumbled as he used his jutsu to change his size. Sakura watched in awe as he shrank down from the size of the Hokage Tower down to the size of Akamaru.
"Is that better?" Kurama growled.
"Much." Naruto stated as he slid off his boxers, leaving him stark naked to which Sakura blushed.
"Guess it's my turn, huh?" Sakura said.
"Oh yes, Kurama turn around." Naruto ordered.
"It's fine, Naruto. He's already seen me through your eyes, I'm sure." Sakura said as she removed her red top.
"Yeah Naruto, why are you hogging all the view?" Kurama teased.
"Never you mind, how about you go put on that vest and bow tie like you promised?"
"Naruto, will you stop being a stick in the mud?" Sakura scolded as she removed her bra. "God. It's not like he's fucking me." 'Not that I would mind.' Sakura added in her head.
'And I thought I was the kinky one.' Inner commented.
'Well since asshole never tried anything I had to come up with some creative ideas for myself.'
'Wow, you really are bitter about this.'
Before Sakura could respond, Naruto once again jogged her back into reality.
"Sorry Sakura-chan... I guess I'm a little..."
"Oh for Sage's sake, he's jealous alright. He doesn't feel comfortable with other guys seeing you naked." Kurama explained, so sick of Naruto's shit.
Sakura stopped pulling down her skirt midway to see the look on Naruto's face, confirming Kurama's statement.
"Is this true, Naruto?" Sakura asked.
"Yes..." He replied sheepishly, ashamed at his own insecurities.
Sakura let her skirt drop and she walked out of it to be near Naruto.
"Stop being so silly, okay? I don't have a problem with it so long as no body tries anything and I don't have a problem with women seeing you, again so long as no one tries to do anything." Sakura said softly as she rubbed his shoulders.
Naruto relaxed a bit under her touch. "I know...but you know how protective I am of my friends. And you...you're something so much more."
"I know. But in reality, you are just as vulnerable as I am in the grand scheme of things. Kurama won't do anything to me and you know it. Just relax alright?" Sakura said. She stopped rubbing Naruto's shoulders long enough for her to pull down her panties. She picked them up and twirled then on her finger. "If you drop this matter and be good, I have a little something in mind for tonight." She said in a sultry voice as she threw her panties at Naruto which landed on his face.
Naruto just froze there standing still like a deer caught in his girlfriend's slightly damp panties. Until Kurama crept up behind him to whisper in his ear.
"Don't you fuck this up Kit or I WILL kill you."
Sakura giggled at the two males' antics. It was nice to be keeping them both wrapped around her pinky.
"Kurama, would you be a dear and get Naruto and I a couple of drinks? Non-alcoholic please?" Sakura asked in a pleasant tone.
"I think Teddy Ruxben has already got you covered."
Before Sakura could ask what he meant by that, a giant living teddy bear wearing a vest and a cute little bow tie walked into the middle of their circle carrying Virgin Daiquiris.
"Here you are Ma'am, heuh-hu." He giggled in an adorably deep voice.
"Oh, I don't think so. Computer, remove the teddy bear." Sakura said in indignation. The teddy bear disappeared and Sakura caught the tray of drinks.
"Aww, Sakura-chan..." Naruto whined, that was his dream she had made disappear.
"I'm sorry, but that was just too goofy for my taste. Plus, we're completely nude on a tropical beach. How does a teddy bear fit into all of this?"
"I like this girl. Far better than fish eyes." Kurama commented.
Sakura smirked at Kurama. "Well, looks like there will be two of us to keep you in line, Naruto." Sakura said. She then started walking toward a lounge chair, swaying her hips making her bare, bubbly ass shift from side to side.
Kurama and Naruto stared on and drooled as they were mesmerized by Sakura's ass swaying around. Kurama was brought out of his staring when Naruto's boner almost got him in the face.
"For Sage's sake, Kit! Put that away!"
Sakura turned around to see what all the commotion was. She saw Naruto's member standing at full attention and Kurama looking away. She giggled at that.
"Look alive, boys!" She cried out, grabbing their attention.
She sat down in her lounge chair to bask in the artificial sun. Surprisingly it felt completely genuine, this holodeck was amazing.
Like trained puppies, they both jogged along the beach, Kurama's fur and Naruto's junk swaying in the breeze.
'Gotta love the view.' Inner commented. Sakura wholeheartedly agreed.
'It's taking every bit of will power I have not to jump Naruto's bones right now.' Sakura thought back.
'Damn girl, do you need some water? Cause you are THIRSTY!'
'I hear you. I'm so drenched down south I could fill a bucket. Maybe it has something to do with my previous sexual neglect.'
'Ok ok we get it. Sasuke was a bad lay. Quit harping on it already.' Inner groaned. Why is ever let her Outer-self get together with the Asexual Wonder was beyond her.
'Um... Not really what I was referring to honestly. I was actually referring to my life as a whole. Remember how I would spend countless hours masturbating because I was too afraid to ask someone to help me deal with my sexual tensions?'
'Oh... Yea I do remember. Should have asked Naruto.'
'In hindsight, yea I should have.'
'If only I had convinced you to give up on old Duck Butt sooner. Just think of all the years wasted. All the long boring stake-outs that could have been made more fun. But no, you just had to have your Tall, Dark, and Mysterious.'
'Now whose harping?'
'Oh shush, the boys want their next command.'
Sakura was shaken out of her Inner conversation to see Naruto and Kurama stand over her chair looking concerned.
"Sakura-chan, are you ok? Snap out of it." Naruto said, waving his hand in front of the pinkette's face.
"You've done it now, Kit. Your flappy dick has fried her brain. Now how are we going to get you laid?"
Without warning, Sakura jumped on Naruto and straddled him "Quite easily, really. Sorry, I was just thinking about some things." Sakura said as she stood up.
"This one... This one is definitely a keeper." Kurama said as he pointed a tail at Sakura.
"Thanks Kurama." Sakura giggled, earning a blush from Kurama. Thank the Sage he had fur.
"What can I say. There are few women in your village that would keep this idiot in line. Save for maybe that weapon loving one."
Sakura and Naruto looked at Kurama quizzically.
"Weapon loving one?" Naruto asked. Then it dawned on Sakura who he was referring to.
"Oh, he means Tenten." Sakura stated.
"Tenten? Hmm... She's cool and all, but not really my type." Naruto said honestly.
"Yea... s-she's alright." Sakura said with a labored breath.
"You okay, Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked. He looked upon his girlfriend and she seemed to be shaking. He looked further down and saw that she was literally dripping in excitement. A big grin came to his face. "Do I need to do a site to site transport back to our quarters?" Naruto teased.
"But that would ruin our date..." Sakura said sadly.
"That can wait. You're struggling right now."
"I can handle it, Naruto. Don't worry about me." Sakura said. "Now Kurama, how about those drinks?" Sakura asked, fluttering her eyes at him. Kurama blushed again.
"I-ah, sure..." He said with an embarrassed grin on his face.
"Can you get me one too?" Naruto asked.
"Bite me."
Sakura laughed as she laid back down in her lounge chair. "Oh, can you bring me and Naruto a few towels? We may go swimming."
"I am not your damn-"
Sakura gave Kurama her best puppy dog eyes.
"Please...?"
"Sure thing..."
Kurama took off running to the hotel to get the drinks and towels while Naruto made himself comfortable on a lounge chair next to Sakura.
"This place really is amazing. The computer said this was Earth, right?" Sakura asked.
"Yup, if you told me it was Element though I wouldn't be able to tell the difference."
"I know, right? Although I don't quite remember seeing waters this clear and pristine back home."
"You never went to the springs up north, in the Land of Rocks. Pervy Sage took me out of there during our journey. The water was like glass. But you're right, back in the Leaf they don't run this clear."
Sakura tilted her head and thought for a minute. "You're right, I've never been there. Was that before or after the Hidden Sky village attacked the Leaf?" Sakura asked.
"Before."
"Ah, okay. So yea, I've never been there. However, I do remember going to a beach on the other side of the Sand desert. That was cool, but still not as crystal clear as this."
"Yeah. Do you think the water is actually like this, or it's just the computer projection?"
"Hmm... That's a good question. Computer, is this simulation 100% accurate to the one on Earth or is this enhanced in some way?"
"THIS HOLOGRAM IS ACCURATELY BASED ON THE BAHAMA ISLANDS FROM THE CURRENT TIME PERIOD. NO ENHANCEMENTS MADE UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE." The computer responded.
"Computer, replace the sea water with Miso Ramen and all the fish with Pork." Naruto shouted to the sky. Instantly the sea turned to a muddy brown color with little ramen toppings floating to the surface.
"Really..." Sakura deadpanned.
"Yes, really." Naruto smirked, taking Sakura's hand into his own as they both lounged on their chairs and enjoyed the view.
Sakura sighed heavily. "This is borderline obsessive, Naruto. Seriously."
"Think of it this way Sakura, how much will power am I using by not running off to jump into that sea of ramen. Instead I'm content to just sit here with you." Naruto explained.
"Good point. I'll shut up." Sakura said with a smile. She closed her eyes and let the artificial sunlight beat down on her pale skin. She then let out a content sigh. "I wonder if we can get Starfleet to give us one of these things to take with us when we complete our mission."
"I've been thinking about that. How do we explain this technology to all our friends when we return? I mean we're supposed to keep our mission a secret forever right? Otherwise we violate the Prime Directive right?"
Sakura opened her eyes and looked at her blond boyfriend. "That's a very good question. Wait a minute, didn't Fukasaku said that Starfleet had visited the leaf before? If that's the case, how do we know we don't already have some of their technology in the Leaf R&D now?"
"Well how do we have all those x-rays and monitors?"
"There ya go. We probably studied them and adapted, just like we would with this current tech which is obviously a few hundred years more advanced."
"So we are going to usher in the next technological revolution? Sweet."
"I agree. The replicators will definitely end any hunger problems and the medical technology will be a major improvement. Yesterday when I was working on Captain Kim from the Peterson, I learned they have a type of pain killer stronger than morphine and also acts as a sedative."
"I'm sure you guys at the hospital will find that invaluable."
"I find it invaluable now! That was some amazing stuff. And the device Crusher used to seal up incisions and repair bleeding organs? Ooooo I can't wait!" Sakura gushed giddily.
Naruto smiled, he just loved to see Sakura get excited about things. Her smile was like a thousand-watt bulb.
"Also, just imagine the alliances we could make with this technology. The world could finally be at peace, like you wanted." Sakura said, to which Naruto smiled as he imagined the possibilities.
The two of them kept talking about such things. It was a welcome relief. Ever since they had begun their separate relationships the two of them had spent less and less time together. Until they both joined ANBU they had also stopped going on missions together. They hadn't just sat down to talk like this since the 4th War.
"Drinks and towels." Kurama said as he approached Sakura's side.
"Thank you, Kurama. You're such a dear when you want to be." Sakura said with a wink.
"You're quite welcome." Kurama replied. Then something unexpected happened, Sakura leaned forward to pet Kurama on the head.
Naruto went wide eyed, not just because Sakura had the moxie to pet the most powerful of the Nine Tailed Demons like a puppy, but that Kurama was eating it up, especially when she started scratching behind his ears. All nine of Kurama's tails wagged back and forth like a wave of fluffy tails.
Kurama began to let out a low and content growl as he enjoyed being pet like this.
"Mmm... Kit... Marry this one soon..." he said suddenly, to which Sakura giggled.
"Oh, Kurama. That won't happen for a while. We just started dating." Sakura said happily.
"I don't care. You mated, so as far as I'm concerned that is marriage." Kurama hummed, it felt soooooooo good.
"Well, until I get a ring on my finger, we're still just dating." Sakura said. She was amused simply because Kurama was basically putty in her hands as he thumped one of his back legs up and down.
"And even I'm not quite ready for marriage, thank you very much." Naruto commented, annoyed that he wasn't getting as much attention from Sakura.
Sakura picked up on that, but she'd get him later. She removed her hand from Kurama's head so she could have some of the drink Kurama brought for her and handed the other to Naruto. Then she looked upon the ocean of Ramen and sighed. She wanted to go swimming, but not in a sea of soup.
"Computer, return the ocean to its previous form." Sakura ordered and the sea of Ramen disappeared and turned back into the crystal clear blue waters, earning a pout from Naruto. Sakura gave a stern look to Naruto. "If I'm going to go swimming, it's not going to be in a sea of Ramen. sorry."
"Aw man, back when I was a kid it was always my dream to go swimming with you in a pool of ramen." Naruto admitted.
Sakura raised her eyebrows in shock. "Really? Why would you want to go swimming in food, though?"
Naruto laughed. "I don't know. I was 12, it sounded like a good idea. The girls of my dreams and an entire sea of ramen. For the longest time I never thought it would happen."
"What a minute... 'Girls'? As in more than one?" Sakura asked in a jealous tone.
"Oh yeah; you, and then several Shadow Clones of you." Naruto listed off.
"Oh... I thought you meant other girls from the village. I should have known."
'Do not tell her about the List!' Naruto frantically thought while keeping his outer emotions in check. Kurama heard him through the mental link they shared.
'Huuuuhh? Wazzat?' Kurama thought back, his mind was in a blissful state of mush.
Sakura thought about it for a minute and she had some pretty wild dreams herself. Perhaps the one she wanted out of Naruto and Kurama could be fulfilled if she let Naruto have his.
"Alright, Naruto. I'll cut you a deal." Sakura said with a sigh.
"What's that?"
"I will create as many shadow clones of myself as I can and swim in the ramen with you if you and Kurama fulfill a dream of mine. Sound fair?"
"Depends on the dream. I'm not one for blindly accepting request now. Not since that Priestess." Naruto said.
"Oh my GOD! HAHAHAHAAA! I remember that! That was hilarious!" Sakura laughed hysterically.
"Tell me about it. I'm still laughing at that one. And this dork had the audacity to turn her down. That was a consequence free lay you prat." Kurama ranted.
"Oh well. He's mine now." Sakura stated.
"Yes I am. Now what is this dream of yours Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked, rubbing circles on the back of her palm with his thumb.
"Well... It's a little embarrassing to admit honestly and it doesn't have to be now. It pertains to what we talked about this morning." Sakura said as she started to blush.
"You mean in the butt?"
Sakura's face went completely red as she slowly nodded. "D-double penetration..." She gulped. This was a very embarrassing dream of hers and she wanted to have it fulfilled at some point.
"Wait, double penetration? I thought we were just talking about trying anal?"
"No... I want to have two guys at once... I know it's odd, but it's something I tried to get Sasuke to do for me and he never wanted to. It can be with just Shadow clones, not with another guy."
"You wanted to have sex with Sasuke and one of his Shadow Clones?" Naruto asked, slightly curious.
"No... If you really wanna know, I had asked him to add you into the mix, but he said no because you were in a relationship with Hinata. So I asked him to make a shadow clone instead and he said no."
"Wait, you wanted me to join you two on a threesome? And Sasuke only said no because I was already in a relationship?" Naruto asked with a look of horror on his face.
Sakura nodded slowly. "Yes... It's silly, I know..."
"Can't say I would have agreed. Nothing against you, but Sasuke is like my brother. And there were enough rumors flying around without us adding fuel to the fire, thank you very much."
"I think that was the other reason, honestly. But I'm glad you told me. I had often wondered what you'd say."
"I'd be flattered, don't get me wrong, just..."
"I understand. So that brings me to the subject at hand. Is this something you could fulfill for me?"
"Heh, who do you think you're talking too, Sakura-chan? I'm the undisputed master of the Shadow Clone Jutsu. I could conjure up enough Shadow Clones to satisfy even your libido."
"Thank you, Naruto." Sakura said as she pulled him forward to kiss him.
"I've got refills." Kurama interrupted, using his tails like tentacles to replace the dirty glasses with fresh drinks. He didn't feel like taking them all the way back to the bar, so he threw them into the tropical forest. Satisfied with his work, Kurama curled up at the foot of Sakura's chair where he hoped he could steal some more petting from Sakura.
"Now. Computer, return to sea back to Ramen." Sakura commanded and the sea was once again filled with miso ramen. Sakura got up from her chair and released her 100 Man seal, giving her a massive boost in Chakra. Forming a hand sign, she shouted Naruto's favorite technique. "SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" Almost immediately, over 100 nude Sakura's appeared and Naruto almost passed out from a nosebleed.
"Alright, girls. Get your bouncy asses into the ramen." The real Sakura commanded.
"Not without our Naruto-kun we don't." One of the Sakura's cried out, enticing the surrounding Sakura's to shout in agreement.
"HURRY UP WILL YA?!" Naruto shouted from afar as he was already floating in the ramen.
"That son of a bitch." Sakura said with a smile. "Alright girls, you heard him!"
The many Sakura's all cheered. Like a stampede of pink, 80 or so Sakura clones rushed into the ramen surf while another 20 stayed behind to glomp Kurama and all his extremely pet-able fur.
In all his living memory, Naruto had never been more ecstatic to see a mob charging at him.
'If this is a dream, never wake me up.' Naruto thought.
'This isn't a dream, this is heaven.'Kurama thought back.
As the first Sakura clone descended on Naruto, he playful splashed her with water as if to halt her in her tracks. Sensing a challenge, the Sakura clones trailing behind the first all darted left to right trying to zig zag and make it to Naruto first. He was having too much fun playing keep away though and dodged most of their advances.
"Naruto-kun!"
"Naruto!"
"Come here Naruto!"
"Quit teasing us, Naruto!"
"Narutoooooo..." Several Sakura clones sang, trying to get the blond's attention long enough for one of their sisters to pin him down with a glomp. Naruto couldn't help but laugh out in delight. This was all too awesome for one man to contain himself.
A handful of Sakura clones even got together and had the brilliant idea that the poor boy was being over stimulated by all the nakedness and needed something new to focus on.
One by one, they each used the transformation jutsu to give themselves bathing suit unique to each clone.
Now it really was too much for the poor boy to take.
All around him there was Sakura in every imaginable kind of swim suit. From bikinis to one pieces, thongs to briefs, frills and strings, with bright colors or striped patterns, and everything in between.
"So Naruto, you like your dream come true?" The real Sakura asked. Naruto knew it was the real one seeing as she was the only one out of the group who wasn't wearing anything.
As he paused to ponder how best to respond, he was finally caught by half a dozen Sakura clones. All of which grabbed him by the arm or wrapped themselves around his waist or his neck. They kept teasing him too. Tracing circles along his skin, whispering sweet nothings into his ear. One clone even came up to Naruto and held out for him a small amount of Ramen broth she had cupped in her hands and held it to his lips. All of them vying for Naruto's attention.
The look on Naruto's face said it all to Sakura. It was a look of complete and utter bliss. The look of a man who could die right that very moment and be completely content.
"I'll take that as a yes." Sakura said with a content sigh.
The real Sakura looked upon the group of her clones that were smothering Naruto with affection. Then things changed when one of the Sakura's dropped her pants and plopped down on Naruto's member.
'Oh... Not what I was going for, but he seems to be happy.' Sakura thought to herself.
She looked over her shoulder to see her remaining clones in bathing suits treating Kurama like royalty. She smiled at that.
Kurama was so happy, he was actually giving several of the Sakura clones a ride on his tails, literally. One or two clones would each be sitting on one of his 9 glorious tails and held up in what could only be assumed as an attempt by Kurama to show off.
'Well, I guess I could take a little walk around. The boys are far too content to notice if I was gone.' Sakura thought as she started to roam around the beach. She made a transformation jutsu to be dressed in a rather simple bikini.
Sakura walked and combed the beach surrounding the area. Something came to her mind, however. Here she was almost a football field away from Naruto and yet the room they were in wasn't that big.
'How is that even possible?' Sakura asked herself. She honestly didn't have an answer for that, but seeing as its probably just part of the technology involved, she shrugged it off.
She bent down and picked up a coconut and with her amazing strength, she squeezed it until it cracked in half. She drank the water from said fruit and ate some of the meat inside.
'This room is amazing. Anything you can imagine this room can create. It can make edible food too. I can't imagine that some people haven't tried to spend the rest of their lives living in such a room. Completely abandoning the outside world.' Sakura thought to herself.
She continued walking down the length of the beach albeit slowly. Then she was brought out of her musings when the archway and door appeared out of nowhere. The door opened and in walked Dr. Crusher and Troi, dressed in casual clothes.
"Oh hi! I didn't know you were in here." Crusher said in delight
"We just came to relax after a long day. But it seems you're already here." Troi stated. "How did things with Naruto work out?"
"Oh they're um..." Sakura stuttered as behind her was a mob of Sakura clones have a massive pool party with Naruto. Whose whoops of joy could be heard all the way over at the entrance to the holodeck.
"We're doing great."
She quickly made a clone and dispersed it to notify her other clones that there were some guests in their party. One of the clones notified Naruto of the situation and the clones disappeared and Naruto donned a pair of swim trunks while he was still out of their sights.
"What's wrong with the water?" Crusher asked.
"Oh nothing, we were just testing out the capabilities of the holodeck and Naruto turned the sea water into ramen." Sakura explained.
The two women laughed at that.
"That's an odd thing to swim in. Although I dreamed often to swim in a pool of chocolate." Troi said.
"I know right? Still this room is amazing. I was wondering how anyone could ever to think of leaving this room when it can literally do anything."
"That it can, but there is a limit to what it can do. The holodecks to take up quite a bit of the ships power and the food and drinks may seem real, it actually isn't." Crusher explained.
"It may seem like it can do everything, but it's still all just a hologram. A false image if you will." Troi added. "A person can't live off holographic banana's and coconuts as they don't provide any nutrition."
"Oh... I can see where that makes sense now." Sakura said.
"May we join you?" Crusher asked.
"Actually this was kind of private-" Sakura began when she looked back and noticed that Kurama was no longer anywhere to be seen. She was certain that Troi and Crusher hadn't seen the Tailed Beast when they came in. Now it seemed that Naruto had returned Kurama to the seal inside Naruto.
"Okay. that's not a problem. We won't disturb you further." Troi said.
"Sorry to disturb your date. Next time, have the computer label this as a private hologram so people don't walk in." Crusher advised.
"Actually you know what? It's fine. You guys can come in. It would be rude to shoo you guys off like that." Sakura suddenly changed her mind.
"Are you sure?" Troi asked. "We don't want to intrude. There are 5 other holodecks."
"Nah, I think we've had our fun. Some company would be nice." Sakura smiled as Naruto began to walk up to the ladies wearing only his trunks.
Crusher looked over at Troi and they both nodded.
"Alright, however we're not swimming in that." Crusher stated as she pointed in to the sea.
"No problem. Computer, return the ocean back to water." Sakura ordered and the sea was once again turned into the crystal clear blue waters it once had.
"Computer, return the resort staff." Sakura added and the resort staff returned.
"Your emotions are glowing, for that matter you're glowing, Sakura. Did the security tape work well?" Troi asked.
"Maaaaayyyybe..." Sakura blushed.
Troi and Crusher giggled. "I'm glad you two worked things out. And may I say-" Crusher started but took a moment to watch Naruto show some of his loving affection to his girlfriend in front of the two, to which they could barely contain their joy. They watched as Naruto pulled Sakura in close and gave her a passionate kiss as a way of saying thanks. "-You two make a cute couple." Crusher finished.
"Thank you. I was finally able to get some sense knocked into his thick head. I'm happy we are giving this a try." Sakura said with a beaming smile.
"If I recall correctly, I came back after taking time to mull things over." Naruto pointed out.
"I still showed you the recording that confirmed what I was saying was true." Sakura pointed back.
"Yea, you did. All I can say is, I'm happy to be wrong." Naruto said softly.
"Ditto..." Sakura replied softly.
Then something reminded Sakura of something she needed to talk to Crusher about.
"Oh, Dr. Crusher. I need to talk to you about something. Privately if possible." Sakura asked.
"Of course. Come with me, we'll get a couple of drinks." Crusher stated. Much to Naruto's protest, Sakura left his side so she could talk to Crusher, leaving him with Troi.
"You really love her, don't you?" Troi asked.
"For as long as I can remember." Naruto replied without taking his eyes off of Sakura.
"I sense a great deal of love and longing for her from you. You're happy that she finally accepted you after a long time. It seems to be blocking out all of the old painful emotions you have experienced."
"I guess it's nice to be in a relationship with someone who sees me for me, not as a man on a pedestal." Naruto vaguely explained.
"What do you mean by that?" Troi asked.
"Just that... my old girlfriend was very loving. Almost to a fault. I could do no wrong in her eyes."
"And you didn't like that? Most men would kill to have a girlfriend or even wife that would let their man do whatever they wanted."
"Well yeah, don't get me wrong, it was great at first. But over the years I realized that I wanted more than just unconditional love, I wanted a relationship, a partnership. With someone I could call my equal. Yet with Hinata she was always too willing to please me, like she was scared I would dump her the first chance I got."
"I see. Sakura had told me that her relationship was... less than to her liking. I think her hearing that you broke up with Hinata is what brought her closer to you. I don't see the dark shadow that hung over her when she first came on board. I see a glowing, warm spark emanating within her anytime she is around you. You seem to be the sunshine in her life that she never realized she had."
"And that's why I want to be there for her and care for her no matter what. Her past relationship was borderline abusive and she deserves far better than that." Naruto said with a stern expression on his face.
Meanwhile, with the two doctors.
"You should have told me about your condition sooner, Sakura." Crusher scolded.
"I know. I just didn't know if you had a similar medication." Sakura replied.
"I can give you a hormone suppressant that works for up to a week. I can give you a birth control serum since you two seem to be active in that area."
"Actually, I have a contraceptive jutsu that is almost a perfect form of birth control. It traps the male's sperm from fertilizing my eggs and keeps them in a chakra cage until the sperm cells die." Sakura explained.
"Just another reason I think I need to learn some of this jutsu stuff. You are honestly nothing like the ninja's from Earth's history." Crusher said, which gained a look of shock from Sakura.
"Wait, Earth has ninja's?" Sakura asked in surprise.
"Did have, and not on a grand scale like your world. Earth's ninja's didn't have the powers you have, however their job was that of a cold, calculating, night time assassin. The art of the ninja hasn't been practiced in over 3 centuries." Crusher explained.
"Fascinating, what happened to them?"
"They died out. Once our world attained world peace, there was no longer any need for them. Their martial arts are still practiced, but not their role." That surprised Sakura, and not in a fascinating way, in a terrifying way. To hear that the ninjas on Earth had died out after the world attained peace. In some ways, she couldn't help but equate that to her own world's current situation. It too was on the brink of obtaining global peace. What would that mean for the Five Great Ninja villages? For ninjas in general? It was hard to fathom. The idea that the cost of peace would be the slow extinction of her entire way of life.
"And their culture, what was that like?" Sakura asked, trying to take her mind off of what she had just pondered.
"Much like your own. there is a country on our world called Japan. If you visited that area, you would almost see a mirror image of your culture."
"So our worlds are really not all that different. How is it like that, I wonder."
"Jean Luc and I have come up with a theory on that. We believe that perhaps your world was once part of ours. Over the course of history, there have been speculations of alien species visiting Earth and we believe it may have been possible that one of those species had taken some humans from the early Japanese culture and brought them to a planet with similar qualities. How long ago, we can't say. Also there is no evidence to support this theory."
"It is an interesting theory and it is worth looking into. If it could be proven, we could usher an entirely new era for Element." Sakura said.
"That would be the idea." Crusher said as she sat down on a lounge chair and Sakura followed suit. Crusher looked around the beach and it was almost a perfect match to the one on Earth. But something caught her eye and she smirked. The discarded clothes of Naruto and Sakura laid in a pile nearby. Plus, what seemed to be paw prints in the sand and 9 trails that would be tails.
"Those are some interesting tracks. I don't think there was any animal on record that has nine tails." Crusher said suddenly.
Sakura looked around and saw that Crusher was talking about. With a horrified look, Sakura tried to come up with a cover story.
Back with Naruto and Troi.
"That is very horrible to hear... I had no idea your past was that painful." Troi said with sadness in her tone.
"It's not something I care to relive. But I figured you had the right to know..." Naruto stated plainly.
"Is there anything we can do to ease the pain you felt?"
"Nah. Sakura is all I really need. She has been there every step of the way. She may have been part of the problem a long time ago, but she saw me for who I really was; a scared orphan. She helped me gain my confidence back and become the man I am today. Without her in my life, it's hard to say what I would really be like." Naruto said with a smile.
"You are far stronger than any man I have ever met. And I mean that on an emotional sense. I think if anyone here on the Enterprise had lived a life similar to yours, they wouldn't be as calm and cheerful as you seem to be."
"Yea, well it wasn't easy, growing up with only one form of food to eat. Mostly because Ichiraku's was the only place that would serve me food. This is why I'm so obsessed with Ramen. It's all I ever had to eat. It's a shame this ship can't make a really good home cooked Ramen." Naruto said.
"Actually, if you want a real, home cooked ramen dish, I would talk to Keiko O'Brien. She's quite the cook." Troi informed.
"No way, seriously? That would be awesome. Food is food, but a home cooked meal always tastes the best." Naruto smiled.
"Oh sure. In fact, I make a pretty good chicken marsala if you're interested in that. I'm sure Will won't mind some extra company."
"Me and Sakura-chan would love to."
"Wonderful! I'll let him know." Troi then tapped her combadge. "Troi to Commander Riker." Naruto went wide eyed. He didn't know Riker was this Will she was talking about.
"Go ahead."
"We'll be having some company for dinner if you don't mind."
"Of course, I don't mind. Who is it?" Riker asked.
"Our new ensigns, Naruto and Sakura. They wanted a home cooked meal and so I offered."
"Sounds good to me. I like them so that's fine. See you later then. Riker out."
"You and Riker?" Naruto asked in surprise.
"Oh yes. We were one together a long time ago and we're starting to reconnect." Troi confirmed.
"Well congrats. Seems all sorts of relationships are coming together." Naruto smiled.
"So it seems. If only Captain Picard and Dr Crusher can get together."
"I HEARD THAT, DEANA!" Crusher shouted from across the beach. Troi laughed nervously.
"Wha-Her and Picard?!" Naruto shouted.
"SHHH!" Troi hushed. "They're not really a thing, even though they have strong feelings for each other. They always have. You could say their relationship is a lot like yours and Sakura's was when you were growing up."
"Well then they should get together already. The sex is amazing." Naruto said in classic Naruto form.
"Ahem..." Came a voice behind Naruto. He turned around to see the two doctors cracking their knuckles.
'What did I say about fucking this up?'
'You said don't fuck this up!'
'I know!'
"You wanna repeat that, Naruto?" Sakura growled as she cracked her neck.
"No I think I don't..." He replied, wondering where on the ship he could hide until Sakura calmed down.
Sakura just sighed as she shook her head. "You know, sometimes I wonder if you actually do have a brain."
"Now isn't that line familiar. I think you said that exact sentence to me back when we were kids."
"Yes I believe I have. Each and every time I'm reminded of that moment and why you act like such an idiot. But then I remember what you said to me on the day I was keeping your dumbass alive."
"Which one?"
"The one where you told me you acted that way because you loved me so much. So, that's why I'm not going to pound you into putty."
"Geez, thanks Babe." The grateful blond smiled. "Oh by the way, I don't know if you overheard, but Tori and Riker invited us over to their quarters tonight for a homemade dinner."
"R-really?" Sakura said in surprise, she looked over to Troi, who nodded in confirmation.
"If you want to that is." Troi said.
"What are you serving?"
"Chicken marsala. I'm cooking."
"Well, in that case, absolutely. What time?"
"1800 hours." Troi said.
"Sounds good, me and Sakura-chan were also gonna try bowling later this evening. I don't know if you two and Crusher would like to join us and give us some tips?" Naruto suggested.
"It's the senior staff bowling night anyway. So, that works out." Crusher said.
"Oh I thought that was last night?"
"We had to postpone it due to the excitement yesterday." Troi informed.
"Ah... That makes sense." Sakura chimed in.
"To be honest, we were too busy last night with th-YOOWWW!"
"SHUT UP, IDIOT!" Sakura screamed after she wailed him on the head.
'You never learn, do you...'
'Learn what?!'
'Never mind...'
"Ugh... What am I going to do with you? You're lucky I love you a lot." Sakura said.
"Forgive me?" Naruto tentatively suggested.
"Already done. Like I said, it's a good thing I love you. Just, try to think before you speak, okay? I know thinking isn't your strong point, but come on."
"Right right." He said, rubbing the back of his head while his other arm snaked around Sakura's waist.
"Well, now that is all out of the way, lets relax for a while." Troi said.
Everyone nodded and took some seats in a few lounge chairs. Sakura decided she was going to lay with Naruto in his lounge chair while they enjoyed the artificial sun. Sakura soon felt herself dozing off as Naruto listened to the conversation between Troi and Crusher about the upcoming bowling game.
"Oh no! I'm not taking Riker's bet this time. The last time I did, I was cleaning the battle bridge for a week." Crusher said.
"Battle bridge?" Naruto asked.
"Worf didn't tell you?" Troi asked. "This ship has the ability to separate into two separate ships. The battle bridge is part of the star drive section."
"What?! That is awesome! Is there no end to this ship's wonders?"
"Well, that's over 300 years of technological advancements for you." Crusher offhandedly pointed out.
"Seriously. Is there anything this ship can't do?"
"Time travel." Both Troi and Crusher said.
"Is there some meaning behind why you both answered so quickly and at the same time?" Naruto inquired.
"Not particularly." Crusher said.
"Well, we do have the capability to travel back and forth through time as discovered by James T. Kirk over 100 years ago. He took a Klingon Bird of Prey and used the sun's gravitational pull to slingshot around it at maximum warp, finding him and his crew from the late 23rd century to the late 20th century. But the Enterprise is far too large to perform that maneuver. Also, Starfleet forbade it to keep time unaltered." Troi explained.
"Captain Kirk? Where have I heard that name before?" Naruto thought aloud.
"When you summoned Fukasaku..." Sakura yawned as she snuggled deeper into Naruto's chest, her legs laying between Naruto's. She was so cute, Naruto couldn't help but think of her like she was a kitten.
"Is it possible to get a tan with this artificial sun?" Sakura asked, her eyes still closed.
"The artificial sun does put out enough UV rays to get a decent tan without harming your skin." Crusher explained.
"Good to know... Naruto, untie my top please? I don't want a tan line on my back..." Sakura asked.
"Sure." Naruto untied Sakura's bikini top, letting the strings to fall to her sides. "You want the bottom done, too?"
"No, just the top..." Sakura said sleepily.
Naruto nodded as he began to remove more of her top, then she stopped him by grabbing his hands.
"I said untie it, not remove it." Sakura said quietly.
"Aw, alright."
"We're not alone here. If it were just the two of us, it would be different."
"If you want to remove your top, go for it. It's not like you have anything we haven't already seen. Or have for that matter." Crusher stated.
"I didn't want to make you uncomfortable." Sakura said as she opened her eyes.
"We have learned to be comfortable with our bodies so that we may share other cultures wishes should they ask." Troi stated. "Betazoids, like myself, seldom wear clothes at places such as a beach or at weddings. It's a tradition among my people."
"Well... I'm not overly comfortable with it." Sakura said with a blush.
"How many times have we gone to the bath house, Sakura-chan?" Naruto pointed out.
"That's different."
"How is it different?"
"I usually went with girls I know. We really don't know anyone here." Sakura shot back.
"Oh right..." Naruto replied. "Well, it's the quickest way I know to make new friends."
"How the hell is showing off my tits to two strangers - no offense - a good way to make new friends, you pervert?!" Sakura spat heatedly.
"Ya get all the awkwardness out of the way immediately. Besides, they're both woman. No harm in it."
'Besides, one is a doctor who not only has her own lovely set but has seen many herself. The other is an alien species were clothes on their world are optional. Let the girls be free.' Inner interjected.
"Oh alright..." Sakura said as she sat up and removed the rest of her top. "Satisfied...?"
Her answer came with something poking her between her legs. She blushed heavily and smirked.
"You are such a perv..." Sakura teased as she playfully slapped Naruto's chest.
"Not my fault I'm surrounded by three beautiful women and I get to date the prettiest and most amazing one of them all." He said with a fox like grin on his face.
'Oooh... Ask them for a foursome!' Inner begged.
'NO!'
'Oh come on! He seems to be all for it.'
'Well, I'm not and I doubt they would be either.'
"That was sweet of you to say, Naruto. Had you been a Betazoid, your girlfriend would have initiated the mutual bond, in which we would have intercourse with the male party." Troi informed.
'You were saying?'
"Well, I guess it's a good thing we're not Betazoid. I have a problem with sharing." Sakura said which got a laugh from the other two women.
"So you want to hog a big, strapping young man all to yourself and leave us hanging?" Crusher teased.
Without skipping a beat, Sakura lowered her hand to cup Naruto's junk. "Yes I do." She replied without tearing her eyes away from Crusher. The whole group burst out in laughter.
Thank you all for following along with this story. I honestly wanted to keep it a short story, but seeing as all of you love it so much, I'm keeping it going for a long while. We are working on chapter 19 for Legacy of Heroes and we will be releasing a triple crossover story soon called Quint Wizard Tournament. 3 guesses what that one is about. :P
