Chapter 29:
Kakashi woke up as the sun started to rise. He quickly checked Naruto's pulse and temperature. The young man's pulse was strong and he had no signs of fever. Naruto grumbled miserably as he rolled away onto his side. Kakashi quickly got changed and made them breakfast, also digging through his medkit for some pain medication. He collected a canteen of fresh water and brought everything back to the tent. Naruto was still sleeping so he sat quietly and ate alone, waiting for his love to wake up. An hour or so passed before Naruto stirred again, groaning in pain. "Here love, take this…" Naruto slowly opened his eyes in a squint, finally registering Kakashi's presence. "..k..kashi…" he murmured. "It's a pain pill love, take it and lay back down for a bit. You will feel a bit better when you wake up." Naruto opened his mouth allowing Kakashi to press the pill to his tongue. Kakashi guided Naruto's unsteady hands as he drank heavily from the canteen. "Go back to sleep little fox, I will be right here." Naruto laid back down, quickly falling back to sleep. Kakashi laughed lightly and shook his head. He would have to remember to limit Naruto's clone use during training. Kakashi sat in the tent patiently looking over his map to try and decide the best pathing to take to make it to Uzushiogakure. It would appear the safest pathing would be to travel north east, up through the Land of Keys, skirting past and avoiding Joumei Village. They would then travel east through the Land of Mountains, stopping over at the destroyed village of Kagero. The village had been destroyed years ago but Kakashi knew there were still civilians living in the area, he was certain they could collect some supplies there before continuing on. They would continue to travel east through the Land of Earth, hugging the northern borders of the Land of Rain and Land of Grass. Their journey would then continue north east through the Land of Waterfalls, skirting the coast line. They would continue to hug the coast line through the Land of Fang, the Land of Fire would be directly to their south so he wanted to keep as much distance from it as he could. They would eventually start tracking south east, through the Lands of Iron, Rice and Hot Water. Once in the Land of Hot Water they would make for the Bamboo Village to restock supplies and rent a boat to travel across the small distance of open sea to the island within the Land of Whirlpools, where Uzushiogakure Village was. Kakashi checked over the map once more, happy with the pathing he had chosen. He calculated the journey would take them roughly six to eight days depending on weather and any other obstacles they may encounter.
Naruto was once again starting to stir, the midday sun now sitting high in the sky. Kakashi watched as Naruto pushed himself up into a sitting position, rubbing sleep from his eyes. "How are you feeling, love?" Naruto yawned and stretched replying, "A bit weak but overall okay, my headache is gone and most of the body pain is gone too." Kakashi smirked and shook his head, more of the Kyuubi's power at work, Naruto should have been out for the count for a few days, not a few hours. "Here, eat this, I want to show you what my plans are for our journey east whenever we finally head out." Kakashi handed Naruto his breakfast and laid the map out in front of him, explaining his thought process on the pathing he chose. Naruto ate silently, carefully looking over the map. He agreed with Kakashi's choices, the only other option would have been to travel back through the Land of Fire, which didn't seem like a great idea as of yet. Naruto quickly finished up his meal, swallowing back large mouth fulls of the fresh cold water. "Thank you Kakashi, I feel much better now. I think I am going to go have a bath and get changed into some fresh clothes." Kakashi followed him out of the tent, watching the young man carefully strip and wade out into the river. Kakashi washed all their soiled clothing and hung it up to dry. He dug through Naruto's rucksack to collect him some fresh clothing, meeting him at the river's edge with a towel. Naruto collected the towel from Kakashi, smiling at him thankfully. Kakashi pressed a quick kiss to the blonde's lips, smiling back in return. "Thank you Kashi, and I'm sorry for overdoing it yesterday. I should have listened to you." Kakashi laughed, "Your stubbornness knows no bounds, Naruto. You did manage to accomplish something quite amazing though, being able to mold your chakra into a shape is an extremely difficult task, one that usually takes years to master. You are definitely your fathers son, you have his speed and his genius." Naruto flushed at the words, quickly dressing himself. "What should we do today, Kakashi?" Kakashi was thoughtful for a moment before responding, "Well, I think today we should mostly just rest, I gathered some food while you were asleep last night so we have plenty of that for now. I want you to regain some of your strength before we do any more training."
They lounged away most of the day, eating supper relatively early. Naruto was resting in a shady spot near the river watching the water flow past. "Do you think it would be okay if I practiced a bit of chakra manipulation? I feel fine now…" Naruto enquired. Kakashi looked him over carefully, "Fine, fine… but no clones this time." Naruto smiled and sat up straight, bringing his hand out in front of him. In no time at all he had chakra flowing out of his hand, brow furrowed in concentration, tongue slightly breaching his lips. Kakashi watched as Naruto slowly was able to mold the chakra into a sphere, letting it dissipate and starting over.
After a couple hours Naruto was able to do this repeatedly in quick succession. "What do I do after this, Kakashi?" Kakashi made his way over to Naruto and sat next to him, creating a small Rasengan in his hand. "The next step would be for you to draw out the chakra as you have been, but instead of forming it into a solid sphere, you mold it to spin. Like the swirling of the chakra in your body, you add speed and rotation to the sphere. Does that make sense?" Naruto nodded, slowly pulling chakra back to his hand and attempting to make it rotate freely. The chakra burst in his hand, lightly burning his finger tips. "Ouch, shit…" "This part is definitely the most difficult, you have to be able to control your chakra and mold and maintain it at a very high speed without losing control of it." Naruto nodded again, head bowed back down in concentration. Kakashi watched on as another hour passed, Naruto tried again and again to add rotation to his chakra, each time losing balance of the chakra, it exploding in his palm. Kakashi was struck suddenly with realization, "Wait, Naruto… what way are you spinning your chakra within yourself? Clockwise or counterclockwise?" "Counterclockwise… why?" Kakashi grabbed the young man by the chin, pulling his head down to look at the crown of his head, a small smile curling its way onto his lips. He pushed Naruto's head back up and released him, "Try spinning it clockwise." Naruto looked at him in confusion but did as instructed, concentrating on spinning his internal chakra clockwise. He quickly formed a small spinning sphere in his hand. The blonde gasped, losing concentration, the chakra erupting in his hand. "Holy shit… Kashi! That was close right?" Kakashi was smiling widely now, chuckling at the sheer insanity of it all. "That was indeed very close, you have been spinning your chakra wrong this whole time. The fact that you were even able to do the leaf splitting, the water walking, any of it while your chakra wasn't spinning correctly is astonishing. If you can relearn how to spin it in the correct way, everything you have learned is going to feel like child's play." The blonde's eyes widened in shock, "Wait… really? But how did you know I was spinning it in the wrong direction?" Kakashi dipped his chin to show Naruto the crown of his head, "The natural spiral at the crown of your head should match the direction of your chakras spin. Wait here, I want to try something." Kakashi hastily got up to his feet and Body Flickered just outside the gully to grab some leaves, quickly Body Flickering back to Naruto's side. "Here, try and split this." Naruto took the leaf Kakashi offered him, placing it in his hand, focusing chakra into it and splitting it almost instantly. Kakashi smirked widely, handing him another leaf, "Try just holding it between your fingers and splitting it." Naruto once again took the leaf and did as instructed, once again splitting the leaf without trouble. Naruto's mouth fell open, staring wide eyed at Kakashi. "You're incredible Naruto, this is sheer insanity if I'm being honest." Kakashi laughed out loud, completely taken aback. "Here I thought you were already incredible for how quickly you were learning, but this… this is crazy." Naruto brought his attention back to the split leaf he was holding between his fingers, "I… I had no idea…" Kakashi grabbed him lightly by the shoulder, "Here, get up, try the Rasengan again."
Naruto got to his feet, Kakashi standing at his side. He brought his hand out in front of him, holding lightly around his wrist. He focused a small amount of chakra to his palm, adding speed to it as it grew in his palm. He quickly glanced at Kakashi who was staring at him aghast, "Hit the wall with it, Naruto." Naruto looked back at his palm and then to the stone wall before thrusting his arm forward. The rock wall disintegrated around his hand. Kakashi quickly snatched him backwards out of the path of the crumbling rock face. "Sheer insanity…No wonder you would get so exhausted using your clones for training, you were working doubly hard since your chakra was spinning the wrong way… even the number of clones you could already produce… I… Kami, Naruto…I'm flabbergasted." Kakashi was gripping Naruto tightly around the shoulders, smiling broadly at the shocked face of the blonde. It was getting late now, darkness quickly falling. Kakashi shook the blonde lightly, trying to snap him out of his state of shock, "Come, let's head to bed love."
Finally settled comfortably in their tent, Kakashi drew close to a still slightly dazed Naruto, "Let me in that head of yours, love, what are you thinking?" Naruto was silent for a few minutes more before finally responding, "I just… I don't know… I guess I'm just shocked… the difference between splitting that leaf from before to just a few moments ago, it's astounding… you said it usually takes years to learn to use your nature and chakra properly but… it feels so easy now?" Naruto finally turned his head to look at Kakashi, the silver head nin was smiling down at him, head propped up by his arm. "You are a prodigy, Naruto, a natural. You have the ability to far surpass me, hell to far surpass almost everyone. You're incredible." Kakashi pressed a warm, lingering kiss to Naruto's lips, pulling back away only to have his retreat halted. Naruto was holding him gently behind his head, looking up into his one open eye. Naruto licked lightly at Kakashi's lips, tightening his fingers around his silver hair. A low growl rumbled in the throat of the older Shinobi, pressing their lips back together firmly. Kakashi quickly stripped the young man and himself between passionate kisses, letting his hands dance all over Naruto's well defined body. Naruto was lost in his arousal, fingernails dug deep into Kakashi's back. Kakashi brought his fingers up to the blonde's mouth, dragging them across his lips, "Suck", Naruto stared at him wide eyed but opened his mouth, darting his pink tongue out to lick at the fingers before sucking them into his mouth. Kakashi groaned at the lewd sight, dropping his head down to lick and tease Naruto's nipple. The blonde was moaning wantonly around the fingers in his mouth. Kakashi pulled his fingers from his mouth, making sure they were heavily coated in saliva. He harshly pushed Naruto's legs apart, earning a gasp from the whimpering blonde. He plunged his fingers deep into him, quickly ducking down to take his length into his mouth. Naruto's back arched wildy a guttural moan escaping his lips. Kakashi was sucking and thrusting in time, both eyes now on Naruto's face. The blonde's head was tipped back, mouth agape mewling and moaning loudly. "Fuck… Ka… Kashi… please… fuck… Kami … I need you… p… please…" Kakashi growled around the length in his mouth, dragging his teeth up before releasing it. He took his free hand and brought it up to his own mouth, licking a heavy amount of saliva onto his fingers. He brought the hand down to his length spreading the saliva and the leaking pre cum down his shaft, other hands fingers still thrusting and scissoring into Naruto. He finally pulled his fingers out of the blonde, earning a desperate whimper. Kakashi scooped up Naruto's legs, hooking them around his waist. Naruto finally met Kakashi's eyes, moaning at the lust blazing in the older nins eyes. Kakashi lowered himself down slowly, capturing Naruto's lips once more, kissing them hungrily while capturing either of his wrists and pinning them beside his head. Kakashi pushes back up from the blonde, licking harshly across his lips before plunging his length in deep. Naruto's ankles dig painfully into Kakahis lower back, legs tightening around his waist. A pained scream turned moan leaves Naruto's lips, Kakashi didn't move, Naruto fully seated around his length, "Fuck… Naruto… I'm sorry love… I got carried away." Sweat was forming on Kakashi's brow, fighting the urge to thrust his hips. He lowered himself down to the whimpering blondes mouth, careful not to move his hips, kissing him gently. Naruto sucked Kakashis bottom lip into his mouth, biting down on it harshly. Naruto's eyelids were heavy with arousal, moaning, "Move" through his teeth and Kakashi's trapped lip. Kakashi obliged, quickly dragging his length out and plunging it back into the blonde. His lip was freed as Naruto's head snapped back, a lewd moan ripping from his mouth. "Oh fuck, Naruto…" Kakashi grunted out, setting a steady pace, Naruto's body convulsing under him. Kakahis could feel himself tipping closer to the edge, Naruto's incredibly tight and hot entrance driving him wild. "Harder, Kashi… h… harderr!" the blonde was groaning out. Kakashi growled, stopping his thrusting, his length buried deep in the mewling blonde. He waited until Naruto met his eyes before releasing his wrists, the blonde leaving them where they were. Kakashi unwrapped Naruto's legs from around his waist, bringing them up to rest on his chest. Naruto's eyes were swimming, struggling to focus. Kakashi recollected Naruto's wrists before angling his hips and plunging impossibly deeper into the blonde. "Oh… FUCK" screamed out the blonde, eyes snapping back shut, moaning lewdly, "Yes, Kashi.. Yes..." Kakashi was pounding relentlessly into the blonde now, biting his own lip between his teeth to suppress the dark moan threatening to escape his lips. Naruto was wailing, spiraling over the edge, finding his release while screaming Kakashi's name. Kakashi gripped the young man's wrists tighter, the inner walls of the blonde squeezing at his length mercilessly. Kakashi couldn't hold back the husky loud moan of Narutos name that escaped his lips as he came, buried deep inside him.
Kakashi pulled himself out of the blonde, gently lowering Naruto's legs down to the bedroll. Naruto was panting harshly, his head twisted to the side. Kakashi grabbed a stray t-shirt and quickly cleaned the chest and stomach of the young man, before dropping down on his elbows over top of him in exhaustion. Kakashi rested his head on Naruto's heaving chest, sucking in deep breaths of his own. Finally collecting himself, Kakashi kissed a path up the blonde's chest, finally making his way up to his neck, kissing it gently and whispering against it, "Are you okay, love, did I hurt you?" Naruto hummed happily, turning his head to kiss Kakashi deeply while draping his arms around his neck. Kakashi smiled into the kiss, "I'll take that as a no…" Naruto nodded, lips still firmly planted to Kakashis. Kakashi chuckled, slowly rolling himself off the blonde onto his side. Naruto whimpered at the loss of contact, struggling to stay awake. Kakashi tucked an arm under the head of the blonde, draping the other over his chest and pulling him in close to him. Kakashi buried his face into Naruto's hair, inhaling deeply, relishing in his spicy and intoxicating smell. He murmured, "I love you so much, Naruto" quietly into the blonde's ear. Goosebumps cascaded across Naruto's honey skin, he shivered lightly at the warm breath against his ear, humming back happily "I love you too, Kashi." Kakashi reached for the blanket to pull up over them, listening as his love fell quickly to sleep. He smiled to himself, breathing in the blonde's scent once more before falling asleep.
