Chapter 3
The day following the wedding, they got the authorization from the Hokage to enter the Namikaze-Uzumaki house. Naruto was excited to finally see where she should have grown up and what her parents looked like. She put some of her blood on the barrier locking the round door with a whirlpool pattern running on it. The red whirlpool retracted from the center to the last part of the spiral with a sound of a rock door being moved.
Naruto entered, left her shoes before the small step and visited the small house. There was a good amount of dust everywhere and it smelled like an old attic. It looked like a pretty normal house, but there were several libraries filled with scrolls.
The first thing she did was look at the pictures, cleaning the dust on them to see what was underneath. Her father was blond with spiky, mid-length hair and bangs falling on his face despite his headband maintaining it up. Her mother had red head just like her, the same face but without Kyuubi's whisker marks and with lighter skin. She wore casual clothes and her hair was long and straight. She looked more mischievous than her lover.
'So I'm much closer to my mom than I am to my dad,' thought Naruto. 'The only common trait with him is my spiky hair'.
On another picture, she saw her mother eating a bowl of ramen with a dozen empty ones piling up in front of her.
'Even my tastes are like my mom's'
She went to see their bedroom. It was small but looked comfortable, a big bed in the center with the blanket out from a hasty departure.
At the back of the room, there was a door with colorful stickers forming the word Naruto. She walked to the door and opened it in a creaking sound. She discovered a light blue bedroom with a cradle next to the wall with a window opening on the garden past the cradle itself. There were two hand-made stuffed toys, a fox and a toad.
'They had prepared this bedroom for me? I was really loved before I was even born?' she thought, a tear rolling on her left cheek.
She opened a small box that looked like a chest, and a small dancer started turning on her tiptoes on a melody. Another tear rolled on her opposite cheek. She closed it back and noticed a scroll with her name on it.
'What's in this scroll?'
She unrolled it and read:
'Children's introduction to the Uzumaki clan techniques
'The Uzumaki clan has big chakra reserves, thus our members have trouble controlling their chakra to create weak techniques. With the instructions below, you will be able to control your chakra like a real Uzumaki and learn our clan's techniques.'
'So they had realized I'd have trouble with normal weak techniques and wanted me to learn how my clan used to control their chakra and their own techniques.'
After this, she rolled the scroll and got out, finding Jiraya waiting for her on the doorstep.
"Come in, uncle Jiraya. I'll need to seal all these scrolls for later reading. And I want to take all the pictures with me. And the stuffed toys. I know I'm too old for them, but they mean something to me."
"I understand. Thanks for letting me in, small one."
"No problem, you were always welcome here it seems, seeing as toads are a recurrent pattern in the interior decoration. I bet we'll find pictures with you on them."
"I think the same."
He entered with a deep respect for the place and its previous owners. They took the morning to select what they wanted to bring with them for their journey. Pictures, stuffed toys, skill scrolls, Flying Thunder God three pronged kunai, everything that could be useful to them or that had an emotional impact on them.
After this, Naruto and Jiraya dispelled the barrier protecting the house, since the girl wanted to sell it to have some funds of her own. The Hokage decided to buy it and make a museum to the memory of the Fourth Hokage and his life companion.
"So you are leaving now, right?" asked the old man to the family gathered in his office.
"Yes, old man," answered Jiraya. "I'm retiring too, as you could guess. I have more important duties now and I have to leave the Land of Fire without my Konoha headband. It would probably help us in Naruto's quest. I believe Konoha is not the most appreciated hidden village around. Trying to bring peace while wearing the Leaf symbol would be pointless, too much blood has been spilled for that."
"Sadly, I am afraid you are telling the truth, Jiraya. Then, I wish you a fine journey and I hope your quest will be a success, if possible not in too many years. I do not hope for it to be achieved while I am still alive, for it is highly unlikely that you could change the whole ninja world as well as each daimyo's politics in such a short time frame, but if you manage to accomplish that while Jiraya and Tsunade are still alive, that would be incredible and save many lives from the stupidity of war."
"I hope so, Lord Hokage!" exclaimed Naruto with renewed motivation. "I believe I can change people in their heart! And I'll spend my life working for a better future!"
"Haha… Goodbye then, and do not hesitate to come back anytime to visit an old acquaintance, Senju family. Have a good honeymoon, Jiraya and Tsunade. You deserve it after all you have been through. I hope to see you again before I join my fellow Hokage in the afterlife! Travel safely!"
"Good bye gramps!" answered Tsunade with a smile.
"Don't forget about me!" exclaimed Shizune. "I give you back my Konoha headband too, Lord Hokage. For the same reason as uncle Jiraya, I quit being a Konoha ninja."
"Do not worry, my child, for your retirement will go unnoticed here in Konoha."
"Are you telling me I have been useless?"
"You have been very useful to me by keeping an eye on Tsunade and ensuring she never ended up blowing up a village after getting too indebted to be let free. But as a Konoha ninja, you cannot say that you have done much, can you?"
"Indeed… I don't even know how I got promoted to jounin since I have barely done any mission for the village."
"I do not know either who promoted you. I would say…ask Kishimoto!"
"If I could ask him, I would certainly…"
The family left Konoha after a treat to the ramen restaurant Ichiraku.
.
"So…where are we going?" asked Naruto to the adults.
"You want to make a pacifist world, right?" asked Jiraya without expecting an answer. "Then there's one place we must visit. It's the village of Yu. It's known for having become a pacifist ninja village. I hope we can all learn a little from them and see what are the positives and negatives of the way they have changed their way of life."
"A pacifist ninja village? Does that really exist?" asked Naruto doubtfully.
"Yes, it does. What's even more impressive is that they used to host the cult to one of the most war-inclined deities, Jashin. Their belief is that they must make blood sacrifices for their deity and war is the most effective way to satisfy them."
"Why did they become pacific then?"
"I don't know, we'll have to ask them. Maybe they had a religious conflict and the Jashin cult has been forbidden in their village."
"Well, let's travel to learn something new that will help me make my dream come true then!"
Shizune shuffled her hair in a sister-like way.
"You know, since you have been with us, our lives have been much more interesting. Right, aunt Tsunade?"
"Yep, this runt has brightened my mournful life like no one else. But don't forget your own role in keeping me alive, Shizune. You've kept loneliness away from me when I had the darkest ideas, and for this I thank you infinitely."
"Th-thanks, auntie…" said Shizune, embarrassed.
Tsunade caught the two girls by the back of their neck and pulled them in a choking hug until they asked for mercy.
.
The Senju family was walking into the Land of Hot Water when they crossed the path of two strange people. The left one wasn't wearing a shirt, but a black cloak with red clouds, which he kept slightly opened, showing his barred Yugakure forehead protector around his neck and a pendant with a reverse triangle pattern. He was wearing gray pants with matching shinobi sandals. His nails were colored green and a weapon handle was appearing above his right shoulder. The other one was a very tall man wearing a hood hiding his hair. His eyes were red instead of white with green irises and no pupils, while a half mask close to Kakashi's in shape but rigid was hiding his nose and mouth. He wore his barred Taki headband of his forehead and the same cloak as the other one was hiding his body. His lower legs were covered by bandages and he was wearing black sandals.
Naruto's family crosses their eyes for a moment and everyone resumed their travel. Jiraya, Tsunade and Shizune had felt tension rising during their short eye contact, which left them careful. They took Naruto between them for the rest of the way to Yu.
.
"So, that's what the pacifist ninja village Yu looks like," commented Naruto as they walked in a village built over thermal water.
It was built like a pile dwelling of the size of a village. The construction wood was imperishable in order to keep supporting the village for decades. The houses were small and the streets narrow.
"Good evening, dear visitors!" greeted a young woman wearing a green yukata with geta. "Your travel must have tired you, how about spending the evening in a thermal bath, your back against hot rocks to relax your muscles? We serve dinner on floating trays so that you can enjoy your bath while eating."
"Lead the way, Miss!" exclaimed Tsunade, totally excited at the idea of relaxing in a hot thermal bath.
"Tsunade, we…"
"Tut tut tut! It's our honeymoon, my dear! We can't walk away from a dinner in a thermal bath!"
"We also have mix baths for couples," added the young local with stars in her eyes.
"See? There's no reason pass by this offer, honey. They even have mix baths, so you don't feel lonely for the whole evening. What do you say to this?"
"I say…hot bath with the most beautiful woman in the world, who could refuse?" he answered with an obvious pervert look.
"Auntie knows how to motivate him, right Shizu?" commented Naruto without expecting an answer.
"Sure, she knows how to hit his soft spots, Naru," she added.
They had taken the habit of using nicknames outside of the Land of Fire. Since the village of Hot Water was not an enemy, they went for the easier ones, closer to their real names. They felt more natural than their fake names.
The lady lead them to a small wooden house in which they could leave their clothes to be cleaned while they would bath naked, a towel on their heads for the moment they would get out. The lady showed the new weds a cloth door and Shizu and Naru another.
Naruto had a little trouble entering the hot water at first, but when she got used to the temperature, she felt her body relax and the sensations of being in this hot bath were arousing. Shizune even emitted a small excited squeak at the amazing sensations.
"Jinra, NO!" came Tsunade's voice from the other side of the bamboo fence, before a big splash could be heard.
"Haaa…young couples…" commented Shizune.
"Jinra, you bastard…" mumbled Naruto. "Why is he of all people the only one allowed to see auntie naked in the bath?"
"Do not be so jealous, Naru; you have had your share of this godly sight when you were a child."
"But that's the issue! I was a child! I haven't been able to enjoy this since my hormones have started manifesting themselves! That's unfair! Uncle Jinra gets all the paradise while we get left behind…"
"Ohohohoho! This really is the best pair I've ever been able to touch in a thermal bath!" came Jiraya's voice from behind the fence, as if he was purposefully teasing them.
"If you continue to stare at them like that, I'll go to the women's bath, Jinra," teased Tsunade's voice. "Don't just stare, what's the point of being together if you can't touch?" she chuckled like a teenage girl.
"Oh my! Am I still alive? Because this place is Heaven!"
"Cover your ears, Naru!" exclaimed Shizune. "You must not listen to their romp!"
Naruto, totally deaf to her prude teasing, had found a small gap in the fence and was peeping at the couple's antics.
"Naru! Don't take your uncle's bad habits! It's not polite to look at people in the bath!"
"Huh? Did I hear you are trying to spy on us, Naru?" asked Tsunade, annoyed.
"Well, someone has to inherit something from me after all this time spent together…" teased Jiraya is a hesitant tone as the subject was risky.
"Shizune, protect my chastity from your perverted sister, please! I'm kind busy here!"
"Yes, auntie! Come here, you!" she said while tackling Naruto at belly-height, resulting in her chest being squeezed against the girls' thighs.
"This should feel great, but your chest is really ungifted, sis," teased Naruto.
"You… You little shrimp! Get into the bath before I drown you in it!" she answered angrily.
The big sister kicked the little one into the bath in another splash. While they were squabbling in the bath, someone entered the women's bath. The woman entered the water up to the neck and squeaked like Shizune had earlier, but in a more shameless way.
The sound made both girls look up from their antics and notice the gorgeous auburn woman.
"Oh, good evening," greeted Shizune, "I hadn't noticed your arrival…"
"Don't be so embarrassed, my dear. I'm a high level ninja after all. There's no shame in not noticing me getting close."
"W-where are you from?"
"If you guess, I'll let you see more. Is that fine?"
Naruto rushed towards to beauty and smelled salt.
"You're from the see, aren't you?" she said.
"You're close…"
"You're a Kiri ninja!" exclaimed Shizune.
"Right. And you two, where are you from?" asked the woman while putting her chest in sight.
"We're travelers," answered Shizune, her eyes inevitably drawn towards the unknown woman's apparent bust.
"Oh, so you're the one trying to play the mysterious origins with me, huh?" said the busty woman while rushing towards Shizune. "Don't be so shy, I don't bite…"
She ran her fingers on the black-haired woman's abdomen up to her boobs.
"Please, don't tease me like that! It's sensitive!"
"I know that…"
Naruto was aroused while watching them and Shizune's heart started accelerating.
"Wanna spend this night with me, mysterious babe?" asked the woman mischievously.
"Ye…No! I can't! I'm already…"
"Don't worry about us!" said Tsunade from the other side of the fence. "We can take care of ourselves! Don't let this opportunity slip!"
Shizune fumed that everyone always tried to force her to do what they wanted without hearing her own will. She started to walk heavily towards the border of the bath, but the woman embraced her and kissed her in the neck, causing her to melt and squeak in pleasure.
"Let go of your negative emotions and succumb to the temptation…" she whispered into Shizune's right ear. "You're beautiful, you know…"
She bit her ear gently and Shizune's back arched forward. Their bodies got back into the hot water up to their necks and the big sister tried to resist one last time.
"Naru is watching us…it's embarrassing…please, stop…"
"Let her watch…at least she can learn how women can be pleased… Not all women are lucky enough to enjoy sexual pleasure in their lives… Just be happy that you have this luck right now…"
Naruto took note of everything the mysterious woman did to her sister right in front of her, from squeezing to pinching to fingering, kissing, licking and biting. This was the best evening in her life. She could even eat food on a floating tray while watching.
Later, Shizune disappeared with the woman and only came back in the morning.
.
"Haaa… Good morning!" greeted Shizune the next morning.
"G'mornin'…" replied Naruto without any energy left.
"Did you sleep well?"
"Do I look like I've slept?"
"Hmm…not really…"
"These wild beasts have been doing it like animals the whole night in the room next to mine. And I had the images of what I'd witnessed between you and that gorgeous woman on my mind, so I couldn't sleep at all."
"Poor thing, you've seen two beautiful women make out in front of you, the wet dream of most guys, without being kicked out…"
"Did you get her name?"
"All she told me was to call her Mei. I don't think it's gonna be too hard to find who she is. Mei from Kiri, able to sneak on a jounin, she must be well-known there. Can we go to Kiri next?"
"So…you're totally into her, right?"
"Well, more than that, I've been inside her…but yes, totally. I don't think many women could be as good as her in bed. And she's also gentle. I have no reason not to try my luck further. The fact she told me her first name means she doesn't want to ditch me immediately."
"Could be a fake name…"
"Didn't seem like it. She wanted me to go after her, I tell you."
"Well, for once it's not uncle Jiraya who's obsessed about a woman – or women in general."
"Meanie! You know, I'm happy, my first time was with a very gorgeous and gentle woman. She was younger than me too, did you realize that?"
"Well, you're getting old, sis. Twenty eight already, it was time for you to get laid. Happy for you that she was such a kind beauty."
"And you, convinced you prefer girls to boys?"
"How could I like pervs like Jiraya?"
"You're as perverted as him though."
"Duh! As long as it's me I don't care. I just don't want to be with someone as perverted as him. I want some privacy."
"Do you think you can respect other girls' privacy?"
"I didn't spy on you when you went out with Mei…"
"You didn't look away while she was letting me discover the wonders of female pleasure, though."
"How could I? She encouraged me to watch. For science! For knowledge!"
"Yeah, and you were too busy pleasuring yourself while watching your big sister."
"I was watching what she was doing to you, not you, big sis!"
"It's the same in the end."
"Why have you become so open in one night? Yesterday I could win every verbal match against you and today you've pulled that stick out of your ass and you're scoring so many goals I can't count them!"
"That's called losing one's virginity, lil' sis. It does wonders, I've heard."
"I can confirm that. You've changed so much overnight… Disrupt! Huh? It's not a genjutsu? Then you must be Mei transformed into Shizu! Where did you put my sister?"
"Calm down, I know about the toad and fox stuffed toys that you've been sleeping with since you've retrieved them from you-know-where."
"Okay, then it must be mind control!"
"No it's not. Mei just pulled that stick out of my ass, as you say. I feel so free now…!"
"No wonder, you were a total killjoy until yesterday. You're a different person now."
"Then you'll learn to enjoy this!"
"Well, I bet I'll like your new personality Mei more…uh, way more than the old one!" said Naruto while sticking her tongue out at Shizune. "I should've been asking around how the people here have changed their ways from normal ninja life, but I'm barely able to think. I'm so tired…"
"Then go to sleep, they must be asleep now, those lions you've told me about."
"Yeah, guess I'll be doin' that…g'day."
"Good night sis! I'll be on watch!"
"Thanks."
.
The story has not advanced much in this chapter, but two character have gotten some development, and I think it's as important to flesh out characters than it is to go forward with the story. With this, Shizune has become a more interesting character and she's not a killjoy anymore. Watch out for mischievous Shizune! Imagine female Kakashi replacing Icha Icha reading with actual practice. Not Anko level, but she's great in my humble opinion. Pretty much like my OC character in my other story Naruto's Birthrights, maybe less excessive and loudmouth about it.
Yes, the woman was Mei Terumi, most of you have probably guessed it already. Prepare for a Kiri arc! How will the Senju family and Naruto Namikaze Uzumaki deal with a blood spilling revolution? No, certainly not by seducing the enemies, she's twelve, you hentai!
I don't have a long term pairing for Shizune or Naruto yet. Tell me if you've got an idea, knowing they travel a lot, so village-locked ninjas like Mei won't do. Naruto could date Karin, but the Uzumaki with diluted blood is supposed to prefer dudes, so it would be out of character. Well, not that most Naruto girls have much character or personality to begin with…maybe Kishimoto made a self insert of every 15 YO or younger girl by making them all like Sasuke including Temari (what 15 YO girl likes 12-13 YO boys? None that I've ever known about).
Blame Kishimoto (-_^)
