Chapter 25:

Kakashi woke up first, cringing at the pain in his shoulder from sleeping on his side. Naruto was still curled up close to him, face relaxed in sleep. Kakashi felt like a mess, their bedroll was still slightly damp and he had Naruto's dried cum all over his crotch and stomach. He chuckled softly, looks like Naruto will have to help me bathe again. He brushed his fingers through the blonde's hair, kissing him sweetly on the forehead. "I love you so much," he whispered. Naruto stirred awake, stretching out like a cat. "Good morning, Kashi… ewww… we need a bath huh?" Kakashi laughed loudly, "We sure do."
Naruto dragged the bedroll and blanket out of the tent, bringing them back to the river for another wash. Kakashi sat near the fire cutting loose his bandages. His shoulder wound was probably fine without a badge now, he would just have to be careful to not let it get too wet. Most of the small lacerations on his forearm were closed, so he left that bandage off too. The burns on his palms were still angry and peeling but he decided to forgo bandaging them back up for now, at least until after he got the bath he so desperately needed. "You joining me?" Kakashi called out to Naruto, who was just finishing hanging the bedding up to dry. Kakashi's eye roamed over Naruto's body as he walked toward him, finally meeting his flushed cheeks. "Kashi… stop it." Kakashi smirked at him, "Stop what? Can't I gaze upon my incredibly attractive lover?" Kakashi chuckled, "Come on, quick bath, no funny business. Then we eat breakfast and practice your elemental control." They went about their morning routine, quickly eating and cleaning up. A few moments later Naruto appeared fully dressed and eager to go. Kakashi decided to summon a few of his ninken to scout the forest and surrounding area ahead of them to be safe. They arrived at the edge of the tree line just as his hounds were exiting it. They reported that there was nobody within a long range of distance and no new scents in the area. Kakashi thanked the hounds, reverse summoning them back home. "Alright, where to start…" Kakashi looked around the forest appraisingly. "It usually takes years to learn and master your elemental nature, but I think you might just have an ace up your sleeve." Naruto looked at him inquisitively, so Kakashi continued, "I want you to create as many clones as you can while still leaving yourself a healthy reserve of chakra." Naruto nodded and quickly made the hand signs, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu." Kakashi was stunned once again at the sheer number of clones Naruto created, there were well over 500 Naruto clones now standing in the forest surrounding them. Naruto was scratching at the back of his head nervously, "Too many?" Kakashi laughed, "No, this should be fine. So, as I'm sure you are probably aware, when you use a clone and it dissipates, all memories from that clone come directly back to you. Using that thinking, I want you and each of your clones to practice concentrating on elemental energy at the same time. By the end of the day, when they all dissipate any and all knowledge they have gained will go back to you. Now keep in mind that their exhaustion and chakra depletion will hit you too." Naruto's eyes went wide, "Holy shit Kakashi, that's genius!" Kakashi laughed and continued, "Now, I want you and all your clones to grab a leaf from that tree right there. When you all have one, I want you to focus your chakra on it with the goal being you cut it clean in half. Think back to the paper they used to determine your chakra at the academy and how you had to send chakra through it. It's similar to that but the paper is meant to react easily. Got it?" Naruto nodded, he headed for the tree along with all his clones. When each of them had secured a leaf Kakashi demonstrated what he wanted them to accomplish, grabbing himself a leaf as well. "Okay, so, similarly to focusing chakra in your feet, you need to focus your chakra on this leaf. Direct your chakra into it and cut it in half, like this." Kakashi laid the leaf in his palm, placing the other hand on top of the leaf. A second later he opened his hands to reveal the leaf split in two. "Don't get discouraged when you don't see results right away, like I said it usually takes years to master your element." Kakashi lowered himself into a nice shaded area laying down with his hands resting behind his head. "Well, what are you waiting for? Go for it. I will be right here." Kakashi watched in fascination as all of the clones and Naruto went to work. Hours passed quickly, with Naruto and his clones yielding little results. The blonde was sweating profusely now, brow furrowed in deep concentration. Kakashi was about to tell him they should call it a day when a Naruto clone yelled out, "I put a cut in it!" The clone came running to show Naruto and Kakashi. "Well that is a really good start and much faster then I would have thought possible. We should probably wrap it up for the day, we only have a few more hours of daylight left." Naruto was panting but a look of determination was firm on his brow, "Can I keep trying for another hour or so? Please?" Unable to turn down his lover, Kakashi nodded and sat back down watching intently. Another hour passed with more of Naruto's clones and Naruto himself cutting into the leaf but still not splitting it entirely. Kakashi rose up once more, placing a hand on Naruto's shoulder. "It is incredicable the amount of progress you made today, I'm sure once you gain the knowledge of all of your clones that tomorrow you will be able to progress even further." Naruto was heavily panting, sweat running down his face but he smiled and nodded happily. "Alright, disperse your clones and let's head back." All of the Naruto clones disappeared with a puff of smoke. Kakashi eyed Naruto carefully as the blonde swayed on his feet, struggling to stay upright before passing out entirely. Kakashi caught him before he could hit the ground, tsking softly, "You are too stubborn for your own good my little fox." Kakashi scooped him up in his arms and made his way back to the gully. Safely back at camp, Kakashi carefully laid Naruto down next to the fire pit covering him with a blanket until he could get the fire going. Kakashi lit a fire and started preparing their dinner, Naruto rousing a short time after. "Shit, I feel awful…" Naruto grumbled. "Well, I did try to warn you about the chakra depletion thing." Kakashi chuckled at him. "Why don't you go wash up and get changed while I finish up dinner. I'm sure the cool water will make you feel better." Naruto did as Kakashi suggested, dragging himself to the river leaving a trail of clothes behind him. Kakashi quickly finished up preparing their dinner, keeping an eye on Naruto in case he were to pass out again. Now cleaned and redressed, Naruto joined him at the fire. "How are you feeling?" "Better, much better actually." Kakashi smiled at the blonde, fully aware that Naruto's quick recovery was probably due in part to the Kyuubi. "Good, eat up. It's gotten really late, we should get some rest so we can get an early start on your training tomorrow." Naruto nodded and replied, "Thank you for teaching me Kakashi…thank you for… everything." Kakashi gave his shoulder a quick squeeze, "Anything for you my love. I'm going to put the tent back together while you finish eating." A short while later and they had made their way into the tent to sleep for the night. Kakashi was lying on his back to rest his shoulder with Naruto curled tight to his side. "I love you, Kashi," Naruto sleepily murmured, "I love you too, Naruto. Good night." Kakashi listened carefully to the sounds of Naruto falling asleep, finally drifting off himself.

Kakashi woke up feeling chilled, Naruto had rolled off him at some point in the night and was now sprawled out on his back snoring loudly. Kakashi laughed to himself, staring fondly at the young man. A faint tapping on the side of the tent caught his attention, shit rain. Kakashi quickly exited the tent, there was a storm front moving in from over the ocean, big angry clouds looming just in the distance. Kakashi quickly tucked their remaining dry tinder into the cove near their tent. He collected the few articles of clothing off the drying rack and tucked them into their rucksacks, tossing them into the corner of the tent. He looked around the rest of camp carefully, collecting some of their food and a canteen to bring into their tent for breakfast. Everything else would be fine out in the weather. Kakashi retreated back into the tent, finding Naruto still sprawled out and snoring. He curled up next to the blonde, bringing his hand up to draw lazy circles on a section of the young man's exposed abdomen. A short while later, Naruto was roused from sleep, finding Kakashi peering down at him. Naruto's cheeks instantly flushed, "uhh… good morning." "Hi," Kakashi replied, pressing a soft lingering kiss on Naruto's lips. "What was that for?" Kakashi half smiled at the blonde, "Just because I can…" Kakashi pressed another warm kiss to his lips as a low rumble of thunder raged in the distance. Kakashi finally pulled himself away from the young man, "There is a storm rolling through, looks like we have to put your training on hold for a bit. Here, I brought us some breakfast." They ate in silence, watching the storm roll in from the open tent flap. Kakashi insisted they leave the flap open slightly so he could keep an eye on the river in case its water level started to rise dramatically. "So, have you thought of where you want to go next, Naruto? Sadly we can't stay here forever." Naruto was thoughtful for a moment before responding, "Well… it might sound stupid but I would like to go to Uzushiogakure, that's where my mothers clan was originally from right?" Kakashi nodded, replying "That is where the Uzumaki clan hailed from, but the village was destroyed years before you were even born, Naruto, there is nothing left there now…" seeing the forlorn look in Naruto's eyes, Kakashi continued, "...but if that is where you want to go, I will gladly take you." the sad eyes quickly turned bright, "Really?" Kakashi nodded and replied, "Of course, I will take you anywhere you want to go." Naruto was quiet again for a moment before continuing, "I was also thinking… if it were okay with you… that maybe after that, we could go live at your farmhouse in Fire Country." Naruto quickly shifted his gaze from Kakashi's widening eye, sputtering out, "I mean… we don't have to, I just thought maybe you would be in less trouble if we were back in Fire Country… and you already have a home there… and the dogs are there. I wouldn't have to be back in Konoha but hopefully it would be close enough for the Sandaime to agree… and… and.. It's a stupid idea isn't it." Kakashi shook his head, replying, "No, its not stupid at all, I'm just surprised you would agree to go back to Fire Country. Are you sure that's what you want, love?" Naruto smiled and nodded, "I just want to be wherever you are… and the farmhouse makes the most sense. Plus, I know I have you to protect me now so I am less afraid to go back." Kakashi pulled Naruto into a tight hug before laying him down and pressing a soft kiss to his lips.

Kakashi wanted to kiss every inch of his love, moving from his lips to his jaw, then down his neck. Kakashi kissed down his exposed arm, his bicep, forearm and each of his knuckles. He collected Naruto's other arm, repeating the same treatment but lingered longer on the forearm, kissing at every pale scar there. He tugged at the, now panting, blondes shirt hem, dragging it up over his head. Kakashi placed soft kisses all over his chest, nipples, abdomen and hips. Kakashi could feel Naruto quivering beneath his lips, "p-p… please Kashi…" Kakashi kissed his way back up to Naruto's mouth, "Please what my little fox." Naruto's eyes were dripping with need, "Please, make love to me." Kakashi hummed happily, kissing at the side of Naruto's face, "Yes my love, but I have two conditions. One, I don't trust myself enough to maintain enough restraint to not hurt you, so you will be in control. I want you on top, that way you can set the pace. I will help you but I want you to be in control, understand?" Naruto nodded eagerly, Kakashi continued, "And secondly, you will allow me to thoroughly prepare you beforehand… I want our first time to be as pain free as possible for you." Naruto blushed slightly but nodded again, Kakashi smiled down at the younger man, "Good…" he murmured into his ear.

Kakashi trailed soft kisses back down the blonde's body, pulling him free of his boxers. Kakashi found the bottle of kunai oil and thoroughly coated his fingers, spreading Naruto's legs. He positioned himself back overtop of Naruto, kissing his lips gently as he brushed his oiled fingers across his entrance. Naruto gasped and moaned into his mouth as he pushed his index and middle fingers inside. Kakashi continued to kiss him softly along his jaw as he slowly thrust his fingers in and out, carefully stretching and scissoring them. Kakashi was taking his time, relishing in the whimpered moans of his blonde love. Kakashi captured his mouth back in a soft kiss, Naruto's mouth immediately opened, hungry and demanding. Kakashi laughed softly, "Gentle little fox…" Kakashi bit and held Naruto's lip lightly, adding a third finger inside him. Kakashi could feel Naruto's muscles clench at the sudden stretch, but they quickly relaxed as he brushed a finger across the bundle of nerves inside. Naruto gasped and shuddered, Kakashi freeing his lip to kiss him again. Kakashi continued to thrust gently into him, stretching him, "Kashi… please…" Naruto whimpered. Kakashi gave the bundle of nerves one last long stroke before withdrawing his fingers. Naruto groaned, back arching off the ground. Kakashi quickly stripped off his boxers, relocated the bottle of oil and heavily coated his length. Kakashi was now sitting beside Naruto's sprawled out form, "You ready?" Naruto bit his lip and nodded, shuffling up onto his knees. Kakashi guided the young man over his lap, hands gripping firmly onto his hips. "Slowly now, very slowly, I don't want you to hurt yourself." Naruto's eyes were wide and shining, he placed his hands on either side of Kakashi's shoulders to steady himself and started lowering himself down onto his length. Kakashi watched Naruto carefully, hands still clutching harshly to his hips. He felt the tip of his length breach the tight ring of muscle at Naruto's entrance, he bit back a harsh moan. He continued to watch as his blonde lover's eyes rolled back into his head, jaw slack open, groaning loudly. Naruto continued his slow descent, his hands on Kakashi's shoulders gripping tighter. Kakashi watched as his brow slowly furrowed, a pained wince reaching his lips. Finally Naruto was fully seated on Kakashi's length, Kakashi let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding. He let go of the younger man's hips, curling his arms around to hug him. "You okay?" Naruto nodded, brow still furrowed, eyes closed. Kakashi could feel him start to move and gripped him tighter in the hug. "No.. no.. not yet. Let your body adjust for a minute… please." Kakashi licked softly at Naruto's lips, attempting to distract him from the pain. Naruto opened his mouth letting Kakashi's tongue inside. Kakashi kissed him deeply, his tongue mapping out the inside of Naruto's mouth. He could feel Naruto start to slowly relax, kissing him back eagerly. Kakashi was starting to sweat, it was taking every ounce of willpower he had to not pin the young man down and fuck him senseless. Naruto was so tight and hot around his length it was almost unbearable. Naruto started to lift himself slowly up, Kakashi gripped back onto his hips tightly. As Naruto lowered himself down again, Kakashi couldn't hold back the pained moan vibrating from his throat. "Are…are… you okay Kashi?" Naruto asked shakily. Kakashi had bitten into his lip harshly, he could faintly taste blood on his tongue, "Yes love, I'm fine, don't worry about me… you are just incredibly tight." Naruto carefully lifted himself up again, painfully slowly. Kakashi was panting, sweat running down his neck. He could hear Naruto's own ragged breathing, his fingers dug painfully into Kakashi's shoulders. Before Kakashi had the chance to slow him, Naruto quickly slammed himself back down onto Kakashi length. Naruto screamed and moaned loudly, clawing at Kakashi's chest. Kakashi gripped firmly onto Narutos hips, "Fuck, Naruto…" Naruto's eyes met Kakashi's; they were slightly pained and moist with unshed tears, a flicker of red passing through his irises. "Slower now, love, please… I'll help you." Naruto nodded, pulling Kakashi in to kiss him. Naruto resumed lifting and lowering himself again, steadied by Kakashi's hands. He started setting a quicker pace, groaning heavily, brow furrowed in concentration, shoulders slumped forward. Kakashi was holding on for dear life, teetering dangerously close to the edge. Kakashi stilled the blonde's hips, "Naruto, stop for a second…" Naruto stopped, panting harshly. "Straighten your back…good… now dip your hips forward." Naruto did as he was told, Kakashi slowly lifting him back up. Kakashi shifted his hip slightly and let the blonde fall back onto his lap. He could feel his tip graze the bundle of nerves in the blonde. Naruto moaned loudly, throwing himself forward gripping Kakashi's neck tightly, his muscles clenching unfathomably tighter around Kakashi's length. Kakashi moaned and growled into his ear, "Grind your hips, Naruto, like this…" Kakashi started rocking the younger man's hips, forward and backward. Naruto followed his lead, dragging and grinding his hips, soft gasps of pleasure escaping his lips. "Yes, just like that my little fox… so good…so tight… oh, fuck Naruto." Kakashi panted out harshly, biting down on Naruto's shoulder. Naruto ground his hips harder, picking up the pace. He was moaning Kakashi's name loudly now, "Kashi.. Oh Kami Kashi… It feels so good… you filling me…Kashi." Kakashi was painfully close and knew Naruto was too. He found himself thrusting upward in time to Naruto's grinding hips. He freed one hand from Naruto's hips and brought it between them, gently gripping the blonde's length in his hand. Naruto's muscles clenched around him again at the contact, moaning loudly. A pained growl vibrated in Kakashi's throat as he began stroking the length. Kakashi caught Naruto's ear lobe in his teeth, guiding the younger man's hips with one hand and matching strokes with the other. "I'm so close my little fox, cum for me…" Naruto's head dipped back, groaning loudly and cumming heavily all over Kakashi's chest and stomach. Naruto's tight walls grew incredibly tighter as he came, milking Kakashi's thrusting length. Kakashi came hard in the blonde, burying his face into his neck, moaning wildly.

Naruto still had his arms thrown around Kakashi's neck, gripping him tightly, panting. Kakashi carefully lifted Naruto's hips, pulling his softening length free before sitting him back down. Naruto whimpered as Kakashi pulled out, gripping him tighter around the neck. "Are you okay, Naruto… did I hurt you?" Naruto shook his head, unable to speak and unwilling to release Kakashi just yet. Kakashi reached for their blanket and tucked it up around Naruto's shoulders before rolling them over so Naruto was laying on his back with Kakashi carefully resting on top of him. Kakashi kissed and nipped at Naruto's neck and shoulder, "Speak to me love, are you okay?" With a whine, Naruto finally let go of Kakashi's neck to meet his eyes. Naruto was smiling brightly his cheeks still flushed from sex. When Naruto finally replied his voice sounded a little weak and hoarse, "I am fine, more than fine actually. I'm a little sore but it's a good sore." Kakashi brushed Naruto's hair off his face, running the smooth strands between his fingers. He caught sight of a glaring bite mark on Naruto's shoulder and scowled at it, "I bit you hard again, does it hurt?" Kakashi rubbed his fingers over the mark and watched for Naruto's reaction. The blonde only smiled and shook his head, "I'm fine Kashi. I promise." Kakashi placed a kiss over the bite mark and then another on Naruto's lips.

Kakashi pushed up off the blonde, quickly covering him with the edges of the blankets. He peered outside the tent, quickly checking the river's water level. The river hadn't risen by any substantial volume so far. Rain was still falling steadily from the dark clouds overhead, but off in the distance a bright patch of blue was forming. It wouldn't be long now before the storm passed. "The storms just about passed Naruto, how about we go wash up in the river in the rain. I need to… umm…clean you so you will be more comfortable later. By time we are done the sun should be coming out." Naruto looked at him inquisitively, "..clean me to make me more comfortable..?" Kakashi only nodded and tugged at the young man's wrist to pull him from the bedroll.

Naruto felt giddy being dragged naked through the pouring rain. Kakashi pulled him out into the river and hugged him tight to his body, a bright smile on his face. Kakashi pulled away and rinsed his chest and stomach clean, dunking his head under the water to rinse his hair. The cold water felt amazing. Naruto was standing awkwardly beside him, rubbing at his stomach and arms. The blonde was shivering in the cold of the water. Kakashi pulled him in close to him again, trying to feed the young man his warmth. The rain was already starting to lighten up, the clouds dissipating overhead. "So, cleaning you…" Kakashi kissed Naruto on the mouth before continuing, "...because I… came in you, we should … clean you out so you will be more comfortable later." Naruto's eyes went wide but nodded slowly. Kakashi grabbed onto one of Naruto's butt cheeks giving it a reassuring squeeze. "I know you are a little sore but I will be really quick, okay? Trust me?" Naruto nodded again and bit at his lip. Kakashi licked softly at the captured lip until Naruto removed it. He kissed him gently on the mouth before bringing his wrist up to his lips. "Bite onto me if it hurts love, it will probably be uncomfortable since you aren't used to it." Naruto gently took Kakashi's wrist into his mouth and nodded. Kakashi slid his hand down Naruto's butt cheek and gently pressed a finger deep into him, hooking his finger and dragging it back out. Naruto gasped against Kakashi's wrist and bit down, shutting his eyes. Kakashi whispered, "I'm sorry love, almost done." Kakashi repeated the process twice more until he was satisfied he had removed most of his seed from inside the younger man. "Okay, all done… are you okay?" Naruto opened his eyes, they were heavily lidded and hazy with lust. "Oh…" Kakashi whispered wide eyed as Naruto pounced on him.
