Naruto's Recipe for 1 serving of Udon Noodle soup

Boil dried kelp and dried anchovy in water then remove them and keep the broth. (I just eyeballed the amount of kelp, anchovy, and water. The broth turned out fine.)

Stir-fry 200 grams of ground pork with sliced onion, and season with oyster sauce, and sugar.

Chop scallions. (No scallion was used.)

Cook 2 packs of udon noodles.

Slice avocado to make a side dish (Only used 2 pieces of sliced avocado.)

"Any progress?" The man with a mask asks his partner.

"Nah. These encryptions are extremely tough to crack. I couldn't even pass the first layer." The dark-haired man frustratingly replies.

The masked man, who is known as Hatake Kakashi, sighs. His partner, Uchiha Obito, and he have spent a few days clearing up and sorting the files of cold cases in the last 30 years. They became interested in the details of cases concerning missing individuals, especially children.

These children share no common patterns except they were all under 10 years old, and no sign of struggle was found at the last place they were seen. Interestingly, the parents did not report the disappearance until more than 4 days later even though Konoha laws allow parents to report a kidnapping case when the missing children are not seen after 15 hours.

All parents of the missing children stated in their testimonies that they thought the children were just "messing around".

Either they are shitty parents or there is a conspiracy going on. His instinct tells him it's the latter.

A few nights ago, while they are looking for more clues in the Konoha Police Force's achieve, his partner Obito, a computer expert, came across an "odd" file while he was surfing through the government cloud storage.

No one has been aware of its existence. The content is heavily encrypted, and the entire cybersecurity division couldn't trace its origins. The only way in is through a single password which has a not very helpful hint.

The loyal demon hates vegetables.

The strange thing is the file can only be looked up under the "orphanage" tag, so unless someone is interested in the issue, the file would have never been found.

Unfortunately, an order from Minato to concentrate their manpower to another problem came yesterday, so they must drop their investigation. Kakashi and Obito, however, can't get the cases and the file out of their heads.

Something tells him that the missing children and the mysterious file have some sort of connection, but until they crack the password, they will not be making progress.

"Obito, you should take a break. You haven't slept for two nights. Whoever created the file probably wants us to solve the password." Kakashi advises his friend who is spotting blood-shot eyes, dry skin, and inability to stay awake without drowning in caffeine.

"I will after this attempt." Obito tells his best friend and downs another cup of coffee.

"That's it." Kakashi unplugs the desktop and the computer goes black, earning himself a growl from Obito.

His partner has a bad habit of dwelling on a task at the cost of his health and affair. In the past, Rin was the only one who could put a stop to this behavior, but ever since she got her dream acceptance to the Forensic Unit, the two of them barely see her.

Kakashi is as much as a workaholic like Obito to be giving him advice, but that doesn't mean he won't try. If he doesn't intervene, it would only lead to a trip to a hospital and a scowling from Mikoto-san.

The two men engage in a glaring contest which is interrupted by the arrival of another colleague.

"Still no progress on the file, Senpai?"

"Ah Itachi, good timing. We are about to head out for lunch. Would you like to join us? We could use your input on the file." Kakashi gives Itachi "a look" that is begging him to play along.

"No, we didn't say anything about lun—" Obito argues.

"It would be my pleasure," Itachi is no stranger to his uncle's destructive habit. One look at Obito and he can already tell that his uncle is at his breaking point. He immediately takes Kakashi's side, silently thanking his senpai for watching out for his relative. "I also have some intel to share with you, unrelated to yesterday's order."

"It must be important for you to come all the way here from Akatsuki." Kakashi remarks, already predicting an incoming headache.

"Hai. The contract killer, Sai, has turned himself in this early morning."

The hot springs at Fuyu village are to die for.

Located three hours drive away from Konoha city, Fuyu is famous for its forestry, farming, and hot springs. It is one of the country's main tourist attractions. However, every fall, the village is closed for tourism so that the locals can take a break and focus on harvesting.

Thanks to Minato's reputation, they are able to plan a short visit at the last minute. They even have the whole village to themselves without worrying about reporters, and the villagers know when to mind their own business.

The last few weeks have taken a tow on her. Between classes and other activities, the girl can barely let her mind rest. Going on dates with her clients has soothed her somewhat, but she has to adopt a new set of behavior whenever she meets them. While she loves that those wonderful men spoil her rotten, it's still a contractual relationship, so she can't completely open up to them.

Though Sakura wishes that she could have gone to Fuyu in a different circumstance, she might as well take advantage of the blonde and enjoy herself as she has always loved hot springs and the countryside. Besides, this could be her last vacation before the storm.

Submerging her body until the water reaches under the tip of her nose, Sakura closes her eyes and lets out a satisfying sigh, feeling her muscles loosen under the heat. She leans back to rest on the rock wall at the back of the hot spring.

Usually, she would be too embarrassed to try an outdoor onsen, but there are only Minato and her at the inn, so she's more comfortable. To get away from the clingy man, she made up an excuse that she wanted to take a walk around the village alone. Minato, who was in an indulgent mood, just smiled fondly before giving her a breathtaking kiss and sent her away.

It's not that she doesn't want to spend time with him, but if Minato knows that she is going to the hot spring, he would undoubtfully follow her. The bath would eventually lead to a more indecent activity that at the moment she is not physically capable of partaking in. The soreness between her legs is a reminder of how passionate his loving was.

Minato took her the entire drive, overloading her senses with the constant stimulation. When they arrived at the inn, he would have carried her to the bedroom to continue their coupling had she not demanded that she needed foods, drink, and a bath. The moment she returned to their room after her bath, he was on her in a heartbeat.

Not be able to keep up, she passed out at some point during the night.

When she woke up, it was already noon. She remembered not being able to move her legs, the dryness of her throat due to overuse, and her body covered in bites and bruises. Even in his sleep, Minato had her in a vice grip and his member was still in her.

Sakura tried to untangle from him, however, she only managed to slip him out before he was woken up by the lack of her tight warm womanhood around his member. He pulled her back to the mattress and, despite her protest, began another round of lovemaking.

After filling her twice, he took pity on her and told the staff to serve them lunch. While they were eating, he expressed that he wanted to accompany her for a walk around the village afterward.

And now, here she is.

Sakura has a vague guess why Minato is acting like a cat in heat but confronting him would end in disaster and not to mention that it's dangerous territory that they are not willing to cross.

"Taking a bath right after a meal is not good for your stomach, little one."

Speaking of the devil and he shall appear.

"I agree. That's why you should come back after 30 minutes, Minato." Sakura casually retorts even when she is caught red hand. It's possible that he has already known that she would plan this and decided to play along.

Casting a glance toward Minato, she can't help but admire the sight of a nude man with a handsome face and an Adonis body. For a man in his early forty, he takes well care of his health and body. Then again, most men she is acquainted with are the same, so he is not exactly a rarity.

Surprisingly, Minato leaves her alone and the two of them fall into a comfortable silence in the onsen. As she is about to fall asleep, she feels him slide closer to her, his hands working on the knots on her body. Too tired to protest, she adjusts her position so he can gain better access.

They both know where this is going.

Perhaps that person was right to call her a pervert since even her exhausted body can't stop her from indulging in pleasure. So, when Minato carries her out of the water and affectionately tells her to get on her hands and knees using that baritone voice, she complies without a second thought.

When he grabs her hips and positions his member at her opening, she pushes back and hears him hiss as the head slips inside her.

When he pushes his entire length into her so deep that it touches her cervix, she moans encouragingly.

Her voice is all the permission that he needs. Minato starts thrusting at a punishing pace, finally carrying out that "punishment" for tricking him. At his rough treatment, Sakura gets even wetter to the point of flooding. Her inner wall clenches tighter around his member, increasing both of their pleasures.

"You would even let your enemy sleeps with you as long as it feels good, you pervert."

As her inner wall contracts and she comes, Minato spills his seeds inside her. Sakura falls forward, unable to support herself with her boneless limbs. He pulls out of her, watching intently at the sight of her womanhood overflowing with her juice and his cum. He can feel himself harden again but reigns in his desire because she can't handle another round.

She lets him clean her up again and helps to put her clothes on. Once they are presentable, he carries her bridal style outside of the inn, intending to have that walk. Along the way, he buys anything that her eyes linger on and answers any questions that she has about the village.

Minato can't seem to keep his lips off her. She blushes prettily whenever a villager sees him giving her kisses which makes him fawn over her more frequently.

She lays her head on his chest, basking in his warmth and affection.

That person is wrong because Sakura doesn't sleep with her enemy. She only has sex with her "boyfriend" during their "dates". The contract at the Madam's office permits that.

However, outside of this environment, it's all fair games.

Message received from an unknown number:

"I'm in, Ugly."

Notes: Things are getting darker than I expected as we are heading into the main storyline. Don't worry, there is no tragedy or angst tag.

Regarding Uchiha-sama, I would advise not to make any conclusion yet. Remember that children don't always live with their parents (or do they?).

Pay attention to the amount and the biochemistry of the ingredients in the cookbook. It's fine if you don't understand, it will be revealed as the story progresses.

Reviews are much appreciated.
