xi. Shadow Clones
Naruto's eyes shot wide open, his heart racing uncontrollably fast. His senses heightened trying to understand what woken him up. His focus travelled miles from where he's at and when he had pin-pointed the location of his worries, he gasped, "Sai…"
Quickly doing his hand seals, two of his Shadow Clones stood at the side of the bed both on their Sage Mode. The moment that the two Shadow Clones became aware of their own existence and their surroundings, they both melted down in the floor like balloons losing air.
The original gasped, "Hey what's wrong?" He whispered.
One managed to look up to the original, groaning, "My ass hurrrrts dattebayo…"
"My back hurrrrts dattebayo…" The other one added.
Naruto flustered hearing this. True, last night has been wild for his first time and he could just understand how painful it could be. If he himself ever try to move a muscle now, he'll surely cry in pain. "Sorry, sorry." He grinned. "But I need you, guys, to find Sai for me. Last time I checked he is barely making it to the border. Quick, he's badly injured."
The two Shadow Clones nodded and tried to bring themselves to stand up. The strain on their faces shows just how much the pain of post sex lingers. It makes the original fear to move now.
"And ow," Naruto called out, "I couldn't sense Hinata and Kiba from here… Go to the location, maybe it will make a difference sensing them from there."
The two gave him the good guy pose before leaving the room, jumping whilst in pain roof to roof out of Konoha.
"Naruto…"
Naruto flinched, only remembering again that he isn't alone in the bed and that he isn't in his own bed. He turned, ignoring the hundreds of muscle pain screaming at him, to watch Kakashi opening an eye to check on him. He smiled, "It was nothing, go back to sleep."
And Kakashi responded by pulling him closer, embracing him back to sleep and Naruto's heart felt like expanding, bursting in butterflies he could not supress. It was strange but it was also pleasant. He could get used to this.
Kakashi's alarm clock echoed noisily across the room and Kakashi slammed with heavy palm to turn it off impatiently. He quickly focused back into possessing the eager blond underneath him, squirming and begging for him to go harder.
It was amazing that by the morning, Naruto was able to heal up (being a jinchuriki does help at this matter) and was so horny to entice the silver haired ninja into having sex again. Kakashi was more than willing to.
Thrusting deeper and wilder into that precise angle again and again had sent them rolling through the heights of deep pleasure. It doesn't take any longer for them to reach their climax and slam onto the bed, Kakashi on top of Naruto.
Heavy breathing, Kakashi spared to give comforting kisses on Naruto's shuddering shoulder as he completely emptied himself inside of Naruto. He loves the heat surrounding him and the fact that he has Naruto finally his just made everything else sounds surreal. He liked it this way.
Pulling out of Naruto, he laid beside him and watched Naruto catching his breath from their previous activity. He's so handsome even in the morning… Kakashi thought. The sweat plastered face also adds in the factor that yes, Naruto is sexy as hell.
Naruto turned to Kakashi and managed a smile in between his panting, "Goodmorning on your first official day, Rokudaime-sama."
Kakashi smiled, amused at his shiny blond of a companion. "It's a rather amusing start of the day too."
Naruto blushed, loving that set of dimples again now that the morning sun peeks through the window, making it easier for him to see the Hokage's face fully. "Well, don't get too used too easily. Don't expect me to wake you up with sex every morning. This morning is an exception."
Kakashi only chuckled and leaned in to give smooth kisses on the blond neck, pampering himself into the distinct scent and warmth of the blond. The jinchuriki is just so addicting.
"Are you even listening…" Naruto groaned but loving the attention anyways. After all, Kakashi just knows where to touch as if he has been mapping all of Naruto's weak points all his life.
When Kakashi has managed to make Naruto squirmed again a moment after, they both knew it'll end into a shuttering pleasure again but none of them denies the possibility.
"Hmmm…Kakashi…"
Kakashi softly bit on Naruto's ear while his finger busies on the hardening sensitive nipple once again.
"I think he will like it when you caress his inner thighs too."
Naruto groaned, "Shut up…" He peeked pass Kakashi's shoulder to find one of his Shadow Clones blushing while watching them getting hot on the bed.
Kakashi stopped on his ministrations and looked back to Naruto's clone. He returned his gaze to the original, silently waiting an explanation.
"I sent two out earlier before dawn to find…" Naruto wasn't able to finish it when his shadow clone released the jutsu and returned to him with the full detail of what happened after being sent to find Sai. Naruto tried to sat up, face suddenly darkened in seriousness, "I'll have to get home now."
"Naruto…what's wrong?"
Naruto was out in bed, only flinching a tiny bit with his ass burning in pain from the previous activity. He disregarded it anyways as he slipped into his discarded clothes last night, "You get ready as well, sensei. You don't want to be late on your first official day as a Hokage."
"Aren't you gonna tell me what your Shadow Clone relayed to you?"
Naruto shook his head, "I want to report it to you officially, you being the Rokudaime. So, I'll see you in the office, as soon as possible, alright?"
Kakashi sighs, relenting. "But come here first." He waved to the blond as he got off the bed himself.
Naruto's brows knitted confusedly but walked back to Kakashi, "I'm not telling you unless—"
Naruto's words were interrupted as soon as Kakashi took possession of his lips, kissing him softly but deeply. It was sweet and assuring that it made Naruto's knees weakened. It was breathless, full of emotions that Naruto could not understand.
The kiss ended and Kakashi whispered, "Now, Naruto, don't be stupid and think ill on what happened last night. It was not a mistake and I, as an adult, take full responsibility."
Naruto couldn't respond to what Kakashi had just said but because he has a pressing matter at hand, Kakashi's words assured him and pushed back all the worries he might have had about him and the Rokudaime.
Naruto nodded. "I got ya." He saluted and off he goes, out of Kakashi's windows.
Sitting lazily on the Hokage chair, he counted sheep on his head. Perhaps he overdid it –both him being way too early and his reputation of being overly late that all his new subjects thought it'll be alright to take their time reporting to him.
He has arrived way too sooner, about fifteen minutes early and expectedly, his new office is still deserted. He has nobody to blame, if somebody, it was himself. His day just started wonderful that he was more than happy to show up in time.
He was too tempted to fish out his Icha Icha series but he willed himself not to. He had after all made a promise to himself to try his best on his first day, if he can survive today, he can survive the next few years to come.
Minutes passed and still were no sign of other shinobis barging on his office and he's really getting tired of waiting. His fingers already massaging the spine of an orange book at the side drawer of his huge table.
But no. He knows himself that once he opens the addictive series, he would be pulled into it that he could care less of what's happening around him. And that shouldn't be today.
He doesn't want to miss Naruto walking into his office for the first time of his ruling. After all, Naruto has scheduled himself before the Hokage and him as the new Hokage, of course, he has to accept.
He grinned. Oh he can't wait to see the blond.
The door opened harshly and there were three men rushing inside and stopped too hastily before him, their eyes bulging wide open, utter surprised written on their faces.
"Kak— Hokage-sama…!" The first one, the chunin, Iruka almost lost his balance over the amount of pile of papers on his arms. He was not expecting to find the ever late copy-nin this early before the scheduled time.
Genma sneered, contrasting his partner who is still coughing in surprise. Genma stepped forward and placed his share of papers on the Hokage's desk. "Should I or should I not worry you are not late?"
"Why would you worry, Genma-san?" Kakashi stood up, receiving the files Raido just managed to hand him.
Genma fixes his long locks of brown hair off his eyes as he retreated back a tiny bit, "I was assuming you might still be in bed snuggling the morning away, Hokage-sama."
Kakashi had a tiny smile underneath his lips as the memory of the hot sexy morning flashes his mind. He easily pushed it away though because he could see Iruka's grip on the files tightened. He still doesn't know how to deal with the chunin and today isn't really the day he would like to try.
Saved by the door opening though that Iruka's glares on him softened as the previous Hokage, Tsunade, stepped inside breathing the difference the day gives her.
The four young men including Kakashi gave a bow to the Fifth who nodded back to them.
"You don't have to oversee me today, Godaime-sama." Kakashi started.
"I know you'll do great." Tsunade responded and then gritted her teeth towards the door, "But the brat sent his clone to me to meet me here today. He has something to discuss. Urgent, he says."
Kakashi raised a brow, confusion written all over his face. He does not have any clue of what might be something urgent Naruto would want to say. If it was about what had transpired between them last night, Kakashi thinks Naruto doesn't have to bother. Kakashi will willingly tell the Godaime himself. There's no need to fuss. But then, there is no way for Naruto to know about his intention anyway. Naruto just has the habit of taking matters into his own hands.
"It better be a good news." Tsunade said, hinting on Kakashi.
Kakashi only gave an embarrassed eye-smile, pocketing his hands to relieve his awkwardness. He isn't really the person to openly talk about his sex life, much less, his relationships. That is if he can freely call it a relationship already.
Exactly at the right moment, the door opened and showed Naruto walking slowly. Upon seeing the attention he gathered from the certain chunin, two jonins and two Hokages, Naruto walked straight and slowly went closer in front of the Hokages.
Naruto addressed everybody in the room. Lastly, he focused on Kakashi who he should take note look completely handsome in his own choice of Hokage gear. But then, he isn't here to just ogle over his former sensei. He cleared his throat and started his report, "Earlier this morning, around three o'clock, I sent my Kage Bushin and found Sai barely reaching the border. He was badly injured."
Kage Bushin Clones - flashback
Hopping roofs to roofs, the two Naruto clones proceeded to the Konoha gates, string of curses nonstop as their bodies ache. Just what did the Original do all night that even the shadow clones could feel how painful their body became. Sex… even they can feel the strange change in their bodies and the feeling of being caressed intimately still strongly lingers.
The two Naruto clones blushed immediately. The Original finally got laid…with the hot sensei at that matter.
"Going somewhere, Naruto-kun?"
The two clones nodded to the Konoha guards and quickly went through the gates, went west to where they could feel Sai's fading chakra.
With their heightening worries over the weakening chakra of Sai, their flustered faces became rather nervous of what they would see once they find Sai.
Already in Sage Mode, the two clones jumped trees to trees quickly. Sai's chakra is only a mile away and it wouldn't take more than a several minutes to reach him.
Once they did, the two clones stopped abruptly before Sai's ever pale body bathing in both his thick blood and his jutsu ink. They could just guess that Sai managed to animate his infamous inked bird and transported with it. Only that Sai has been so injured badly that he could no longer control the bird and landed near the border instead.
"Sai…"
"Na…ruto."
One clone picked up the battered Sai and turned towards Konoha, "You'll be fine…"
Sai tried to open his mouth but couldn't, only managing to cough up blood.
"Don't talk, Sai." Naruto's clone firmly said. "If I'm the original, I would have used my Sage Path and heal you already but with the amount of damage you have, as a clone, it would be impossible."
Sai nodded weakly and after heaving a sigh, he managed to gasp out, "Hin…ata… taken…Kiba wen't…after…"
"Don't talk…" The clone's pace quickened, "The other clone is trying to pick up their chakra now…"
"Impo…ssible…" Sai groaned, "Enemy…has…unsur…passed transport…ation jut…su. Naru…to-kun."
"Shhh… There's nothing I couldn't sense…" Naruto's clone assured Sai. Even though he was confident, the wariness the other clone feels now just shows that indeed it will be a hard task to find the missing two's chakra.
"Hina…ta…is gone… poof with…the enemy."
Naruto gritted his teeth, not liking the news at all but Sai needs a medical attention quickly. With the other Naruto clone sent out to find the missing two jonins, he doesn't really have something to worry about. Sai's injury might be fatal but a high-levelled medical ninja can handle this one easily and they wouldn't have to disturb the Original. The real Naruto deserves a snuggling morning, after all.
Just hoping that the other clone would find Hinata and Kiba before it might be too late.
And just what is this mission that Naruto didn't know about? By the look of things, this can be classified as SS-level. If such mission exists, normally, the Hokage would seek for Naruto's help.
But why didn't Naruto hear about this?
Right, if he has to find things out here, he should start by asking the previous Hokage who sent the three jonins to this very mission. Why this sounds very suspicious to Naruto, he just couldn't tell.
Kakashi and Tsunade looked at each other as they were the only ones who knew about this top secret mission. Now, Tsunade knew why it was crucial for her to be present because she was the one who ordered the mission. Tsunade would be the perfect person to inquire about this.
"How is he? Sai?" Tsunade asked.
Naruto's lips formed a thin line, obviously unhappy about this. "He's still unconscious. Sakura-chan said he will be for the next few days."
Tsunade massaged her chin, completely immersed. "So, it was that bad… How's Hinata and Kiba?"
Naruto's eyes stilled on the floor, glaring down, his hands forming fists on his sides. "I never get to find them."
Tsunade leaned onto the Hokage desk, worrying on her bottom lip. "I knew they would be strong but I didn't realized even our specialized jonin team is…" She groaned. "Knowing you, you might have Shadow Clones sent out all over the place…" She watched the changes on the jinchuriki's face and that's all she needs to get her answers.
Naruto simply nodded.
"How many?" Kakashi asked, slowly seeing now the strain on the blond's face.
Naruto looked away, wouldn't want to look at Kakashi now knowing that the new Hokage would just scold him anyway. But then he muttered honestly, "I got over fifty of them scattered to all directions from where I found Sai."
Normally, Kakashi would simply bash Naruto in the head to tell him how stupidly heroic the blond is but he could just feel for the young man. Having two close friends missing isn't really something easy to deal with. He must have been so exhausting himself now.
Kakashi gets the urge to pull Naruto towards him and just embrace him, easing those exhaustion away but Iruka beat him to it already. He would have been annoyed to see this, but seeing how this sort of saved him from embarrassing himself, he was glad.
"Any progress?" Tsunade asked.
Naruto leaned on Iruka weakly, "One by one, my shadow clone would make a double and release the jutsu, it's the only way I could get any information off them –and none of them returned with any progress."
"Damn it." Tsunade cursed, biting on her fingernail now. "Where could they be hiding? To think they can travel that far off where you can't sense them… they might have been seriously strong enemies."
"It's not that I can't find them… it's just…they're completely just gone…no trace or some sort." Naruto explained.
"Similar to Transportation jutsu, you said?" Kakashi inquired, remembering Naruto's story of what his Shadow clones have reported back to him.
Naruto nodded, "That's how Sai described it."
Once again, Tsunade and Kakashi looked at each other, their suspicions increasing. Yet, they both can tell how this might not be the right time to openly discuss it in front of the jinchuriki.
"Wait, a clone just reported back to me." Naruto's eyes focused through the window as he finished taking in all new information, "My clone just found the battlefield where Sai's team engaged with the enemies. Just like Sai said, there were no traces left. Chakra excluding Sai's, Kiba's and Hinata's were barely in there but…with my Sage mode I was able to sense even a tiny bit. Familiar…but impossible…" Naruto's eyes widened now and before he could decipher any further, he passed out.
Kakashi was fast enough to see the signs and caught his blond into his arms when Iruka was too shock to see this.
The moment that Naruto lost his consciousness, the nine-tailed fox chakra took over the body and explained, "The brat exhausted himself. All fifty equally exhausted Sage Mode clones returned to his body all at once, with or without me, it would still knock him off regardless."
"I see." Kakashi muttered and went towards the couch at the side, sat there and laid Naruto's head on his lap. The others just followed them, had chosen not to comment about this rather sweet scene. "But why does it looks like it wasn't the only case, Kurama?"
The kyuubi huffed, "Ow, aside from what you two brats did last night?"
Kakashi's ears instantly turned red and he knew that if his mask isn't in place, his red face would have been for everybody to mock. And besides, he could just see both Iruka and Tsunade sending him glares at the moment. Damn, Kurama!
The Kyuubi might have enjoyed making the new Hokage flustered (it's the least he could get it even with the copy-nin for actually claiming his jinchuriki because nobody touches his jinchuriki and gets away with it). Yet, he knew that Kakashi is a smart-ass to figure out Naruto didn't pass out just because he's exhausted.
So, Kurama muttered, "I knocked him off myself."
"Why?" Iruka asked.
"The boy does not need more lies." Kurama growled back, "Until I am well sure what's causing this, Naruto is not to know."
The others fell into silence, slowly trying to figure out what really happened and what made even the Kyuubi worried this much.
"Is it Reanimation Jutsu?" Genma asked.
"Hardly," The Kyuubi answered. "But a possibility." Kurama then vanished quickly, leaving Naruto groaning but stayed unconscious on Kakashi's arms.
Kakashi watched his blond, I swore to protect the current you with my current me but how can I do this in front of them… If Kurama is right, I don't know what to do, Naruto…
A/N: I now commence the start of the real story.
