Chapter 32:
Kakashi woke before dawn, carefully unwrapping himself from the blonde, he made sure Naruto was covered back up with the blanket before quietly making his way out of the tent. He lit the fire stoking it heavily with wood, then went about scrubbing clean the blood soaked clothing from the night before, ringing them out tightly and setting them near the fire to dry. He made them a hearty breakfast since neither of them had eaten much the day before, leaving it beside the fire to stay warm until Naruto woke up. Kakashi was certain Naruto was exhausted, the shock and trauma from yesterday draining him. He would let him sleep as long as possible. A few hours later, Naruto was stirring in the tent. Kakashi collected their breakfast and made his way back inside. Naruto was stretching and yawning when Kakashi sat down, "Why didn't you wake me up, Kashi?" Kakashi smiled at the blonde, "I figured you could use the sleep, here, I'm sure you're starving, we didn't eat much yesterday." Naruto groaned happily at the food presented to him, "Oh Kami, this smells delicious, thank you, Kashi." Kakashi chuckled, "Of course, my love." They ate in peaceful silence, quickly finishing their breakfast. Kakashi collected Naruto's plate and popped back out of the tent, "You go ahead and get dressed, love, I'll clean these up." Kakashi made his way to the creek, quickly rinsing off their plates and topping up their canteens. He checked the clothing hanging by the fire, the items now thoroughly dried through. He pulled his face mask back on, collecting the rest of the clothes and packed them in their rucksacks, rejoining Naruto in time to help him pack up the tent.
Kakashi pulled out his map and checked it over thoroughly, "Alright, so we are very near to the border of the Land of Earth right now, probably only about a half hour's travel. I want us to make it through the region and reach the border into the Land of Waterfalls before nightfall. Earth country is a harsh desolate landscape so I don't want to linger there." Naruto nodded, shrugging his rucksack onto his back, "Then let's go."
They set out at a brisk pace east, quickly reaching the border into the Land of Earth. The landscape became more desolate with every mile they traveled. There were nothing but cliffs and rocks for miles around, the heat of the area suffocating. They traveled for quite some time before Kakashi found a tucked away area near a cliff side to rest. He pulled back out his map to double check their progress, they were still on course and making good time. Kakashi drank deeply from his canteen, offering it to Naruto. The poor blonde was sweating heavily, not used to the heat or this much exertion. "I'm sorry love, we can go slower, I tend to forget myself sometimes." Naruto shook his head and smiled, "It's fine, I'm good. Let's keep going."
They traveled on for a few more hours, Kakashi watching the landscape to the south of them slowly change, dense forest rich with bamboo and large mushrooms just in the distance. Kakashi made a mental note that they must be near the tip of the border of the Land of Grass. He steered them a bit more north, away from the borderlands, not wanting to get too close knowing the Village of Kusagakure was nearby.
A few more hours of uninterrupted travel and the landscape directly in front of them to the east started to change. The air was cooling off, lush green trees and blowing grass just off in the distance. Kakashi could hear Naruto sigh next to him, he looked over to the blonde, "It's beautiful huh, especially after being in such an unforgivably harsh area for most of the day." Naruto nodded, breathing in deeply, "It sure is, I feel like I can breathe properly again."
They crossed the border into the Land of Waterfalls just before dinnertime, making far faster progress then Kakashi was expecting. "If it's okay with you, I would like to continue traveling east for another couple hours, right now we are directly at the center of three different Shinobi villages. I would like to get further along to move away from any trading routes." Naruto nodded, "Lead the way." They continued through the deep woods, keeping off marked paths. A few short hours later the ocean's coastline was visible off to the North. Naruto inhaled deeply, thrilled to be smelling the salt of the ocean once more, a happy smile playing over his lips. Kakashi led them a little further along with a place in mind. They wove deeper into the woods, the sound of rushing water becoming louder with every step. Kakashi grasped the wrist of the blonde, "Close your eyes, Naruto." Kakashi was smirking at the blonde, Naruto with an inquisitive look on his face quickly complied. Kakashi directed him through a dense patch of brush into an opening, walking him a few paces further in. "Okay, you can open them." Naruto's eyes opened and his jaw immediately dropped, they were standing at the base of a beautiful waterfall. The noise of the rushing water was hypnotizing, the cool mist from the water crashing to the pool below brushing against his cheeks. The pool was twinkling in the late day's sun, a lazy creek weaving its way along deeper into the forest and away. "Wow…" the blonde murmured awestruck. Kakashi laced his fingers between the blondes, gripping onto his hand tightly. "How did you know about this place, Kashi? It's beautiful." "We are only about two hours from the northernmost border into Fire Country. This place is very near to where the farmhouse is. I discovered it while out with my ninken one day." Kakashi's answer snapped Naruto out of his daze, "Wow, really? That's amazing!" Kakashi smiled and replied, "When we are happily settled back home in Fire Country, I will bring you here as often as you want." "Home…home…" Naruto tested the word out loud a few times, smiling. Kakashi pulled down his mask and pressed a soft kiss to the blondes lips, "Home for me is wherever you are, Naruto… come on lets have a bath before it gets dark."
They set all their gear down at a large tree near the base of the waterfall. Naruto quickly stripped all his clothes off running head long for the refreshing pool of water. Kakashi chuckled, digging through his rucksack to find a bar of soap. He cut back the bandage around his palm before stripping down and joining the young man. Naruto was wading through the water sighing happily, "Ugh, it's so nice. The water is so refreshing." Kakashi quickly soaped and rinsed himself off, giving his hair a thorough scrub. Satisfied he was free of any lingering blood and grime he made his way after the blonde. Naruto had his eyes closed, floating on his back, kicking around lazily. Kakashi positioned himself behind the blonde's head, dipping his hands under the water to catch his head, while bringing his mouth down to surprise him with a kiss. Naruto jolted, but hummed happily under the sudden contact. "Let me wash you, love." Kakashi murmured against his lips. Naruto righted himself in the water, turning to face Kakashi. The silver head nin started soaping him thoroughly, scrubbing every inch. Kakashi thoroughly soaped his hands and brought them to Naruto's face, memories of the blood smeared there just the night before flooding his mind. Seeing the look of anger flash before Kakashi's eye, Naruto leaned in and kissed him softly on the mouth. Kakashi sighed happily, pulling back from the blonde with a smile, "Thank you, love… Now get your hair wet for me." Naruto pinched his nose and dunked under the water, popping back up quickly. Kakashi chuckled at him, bringing the soap up to scrub through his shaggy blonde locks. Happy with the amount of soap in the blonde's hair, Kakashi chucked the soap back toward their gear. He fussed over Naruto's hair a little longer, enjoying the happy little groans leaving the blonde's mouth as he massaged his scalp. Kakashi rinsed his hands in the water before gripping Naruto by the arms and steering him back toward the waterfall. "Let's rinse you off… close your eyes and hold your breath." Naruto closed his eyes and pinched his nose closed as Kakashi directed him under the crashing torrent of water. He quickly combed his fingers through Naruto's hair until it was rinsed clean. He brought his lips to the blondes, pushing him further into the waterfall. Kakashi pulled back from the young man, pressing him gently against the rockwall behind him. "Open your eyes, love." Naruto opened his eyes, once again awestruck. They were behind the waterfall, the water cascading in front of his eyes. They were standing in waist deep water tucked in a small cove that was completely invisible from the outside. "Wow, so cool." Kakashi brought his hand up to brush Naruto's damp hair from his face, the hand coming to rest just above his jaw, thumb stroking lightly at his cheek. Naruto met Kakashi's eye, reading the feelings of love and care radiating from it. Arousal and need flared in his gut, he wanted Kakashi's hands all over him, wanted to taste the man he loved so dearly. "Kiss me, Kashi" Naruto whispered, Kakashi quickly claiming his mouth, pressing a deep kiss to his lips, his other hand brought up to hold the other side of the blonde's face. Naruto moaned happily at the deep kiss, bringing his arms behind Kakashi back, raking his fingernails down it. Kakashi growled, pressing his hip forward, his hardening length brushing against the blondes. Naruto gasped at the contact, Kakashi plunging his tongue deep into his mouth hungrily. Kakashi's hands dropped to grab firmly at Naruto's ass cheeks, grinding his hip harder into the pinned blonde. Naruto's arms found their way up around Kakashi's shoulders, fingers tangling into his wet hair. Naruto gave the hair a playful pull, dragging the older nin's head back, pulling his tongue from his mouth. Kakashi growled as Naruto snickered and licked at his lips. Kakashi pulled Naruto up harshly by his butt cheeks, pinning his back against the rock wall. Naruto moaned at the rough handling, wrapping his legs around Kakashi's waist. Fingers still fisted tightly in his hair, Naruto gave it another yank, earning another growl from the nin. "Take me, Kashi, fill me." Kakashi groaned hoarsely, "Let me kiss you." a low growl reverberating in his throat. Naruto released his fingers from the nin's hair, Kakashi swiftly crushed his lips into Narutos simultaneously thrusting his hips up burying his length deep in the blonde. Naruto winced and whimpered at the initial pain but moaned wantonly when Kakashi's tip brushed the bundle of nerves deep inside him. Kakashi stilled his hips, kissing tenderly at Naruto's jaw. He wanted the young man's body to relax around him, they hadn't prepared him nor was he probably recovered fully from their last time. "Fuck, Kashi… move please… please." Kakashi moved to face the blonde, his eyes were ablaze with need. Kakashi brought his mouth back down, flicking his tongue out and licking at his lips. Naruto's lips were quivering, hungry for contact, "oh Kami… please." Kakashi crushed their lips together once more, moaning against the ravenous mouth of the young man. He started to slowly thrust his hips, deep gravelly moans leaving his lover's throat. Naruto's kisses became no less ravenous, biting and licking and sucking at Kakashi's lips and tongue. Kakashi pressed him harder into the stone wall at his back, thrusting harder and faster into him. Naruto's fingers started to dig harshly into Kakashi's shoulders, his moans becoming more high pitched and desperate. Kakashi pulled his mouth from the blonde's lips, bringing it down to bite and suck at his neck. Kakashi was slamming hard into Naruto now, the echoing slapping of flesh and Naruto's desperate moans ringing through their small cavern. "Oh fuck, Kashi… yes… close … so close." Kakashi brought a hand up to the wall to brace himself, spiraling close to his release. "Open your eyes little fox…" Naruto's eyes fluttered open, the moment Kakashi gazed into those sparkling sapphires he tipped over the edge, burying himself deep and coming hard into the blonde, a guttural moan leaving his lips. The feel of Kakashi driving in hard and pulsing inside him sent Naruto spiraling over the edge, cuming heavily all over himself and Kakashi, screaming the silver haired nin's name.
Kakashi pulled himself free of the blonde, holding him in place a while longer until they both caught their breath. It was getting dark inside the cavern now, night fast approaching. He set the blonde down on his feet, pressing the meaty part of his hand up to his lips. Naruto bit into it lightly, knowing what was to come next. Naruto groaned around Kakashi's hand as the silver hair nin gently cleaned him. Finished with that, Kakashi quickly dipped lower into the water to rinse Naruto's cum off his stomach and chest. Naruto followed suit, rinsing himself clean as well. Kakashi pulled the blonde in for a tight hug, he pulled back slightly and pinched the blonde's nose closed with a smirk, guiding them back through the other side of the waterfall. Out in the open air again, Kakashi placed a soft kiss to the mouth of the blonde, "You okay, love?" The blonde kissed him back lazily, his tired eyes shiny brightly, humming back, "I'm great." Kakashi smiled back at him, "Good, let's have something quick to eat and go to bed." Once dried and fed they decided to forgo the tent tonight, opting to sleep under the stars instead.
