"I feel sick," were the first words he heard that morning.
Naruto was not a patient person by birth. His mettle had been tested, his mind was ravaged and his thoughts were picked part like dry leaves on a branch. So, patience was a trait he developed as he grew but he was still an amateur at it. When faced with situations like this, he thanked the gods that his life had prepared him for them.
His mother was clutching her head tightly and was looking quite frightened as she waited for his answer. She was biting her plump lower lip in worry and her posture radiated a sense of anxiety. She looked so fragile at that moment, like a castle of glass floating in the clouds.
Unceremoniously, he rose to a sitting position and ruffled his messy bed hair. He wrapped his arms around her smooth, warm andbare waist and hoisted her into his waiting lap. It was six in morning; He was certain he couldn't be blamed for his impulsive actions.
Kushina, in her surprise, forgot for a moment that she had a blinding headache and cuddled into the warmth of his naked torso. Then she moaned in pain when another jolt traveled to her brain and buried her head into his neck. "It hurts!"
Naruto shuddered when her hot breath hit his neck and her lips kissed his pressure point. His morning wood, that still hadn't died down was poking her backside persistently. Kushina jerked her ass every time she moaned in pain, stroking against his erection until it was lying snugly between her butt cheeks. Her moans that rang clear in his ear were driving him crazy and his hold on her tightened involuntarily.
"What hurts?" Naruto cursed when his husky tone echoed back to him. This morning would forever register in his mind as one of the strangest yet sexiest.
"My head," Kushina mumbled, with her lips caressing his neck every time she spoke a word. "I think I'm pregnant."
Naruto's bleary eyes shot open at that word and he looked like a deer caught under headlights; until reason brought back his racing heart to normal levels. "You didn't do anything to get p-pregnant."
Oh, god. That very word tasted weird in his mouth but his manhood seemed to just love it from the way it stood straight in attention and prodded at her ass even harder than before. Kushina, who must have surely felt it trying to enter her ass, moaned again; This time not in pain but pleasure. She wiggled her ass further until she could feel his thing stabbing at her entrance. Naruto had to bite his cheek until he drew blood suppress the loud groan that threatened to come out of his mouth.
"But we had an indirect kiss," Kushina blinked up at him cutely.
The things her violet eyes were doing it to his body...and the topic they were discussing certainly didn't help; He had an evident and stiff proof just dying to get out of his shorts.
"You don't get pregnant from any type of kiss," Naruto cursed her selective lack of memories. It seemed that she remembered the acts of sex and the results of sex but completely forgot the connection between them. "And your stomach hurts if you are pregnant, not the head."
"Oh," was all Kushina had to say. But she did seem sad that her chances of being a pregnant had suddenly dwindled down; Not that there ever were any. "That's…" she hesitated and looked down at her flat belly. "Good?"
Naruto followed her line of gaze to her smooth, blemish free stomach. It looked so soft that Naruto's placed a palm on it, eliciting a gasp out of Kushina. She placed her hand on top of his and for one moment, they looked like a freshly married couple who were expecting a baby.
"I think I'd look good with a huge tummy," Kushina mumbled softly as she rested her head on his shoulder and patted his hand.
His hand that was resting on her belly quivered as he imagined the thought of a Kushina with a beach ball sized belly and a wide grin on her face. His expression softened at that thought and he caressed her stomach lovingly. She wouldn't just look good. She would be beautiful.
"Your head is still hurting?" Naruto never heard his voice sound so tender and affectionate as it did at that moment.
Kushina simply nodded. Her throat was choked up with emotion and she just couldn't remove the image of her with a baby from her mind. She went into a coma an hour after Naruto was born. She never got the chance to see him grow before her own eyes. She didn't know what his first word was. She didn't know when he started to crawl or when he learned to walk. She didn't know if he cried every time he was hungry or slept late into the night.
He must have been a cute baby. How sweet his little smile must have been? She wondered how his joyful giggle sounded. Was he just as mischievous when he was a kid? Could his smiles brighten up her whole day? Would she have tucked him into the bed every night and placed a soft kiss on his forehead? Hug him every time he needed comfort and tell him a bed time story if he couldn't sleep. How much would he have cried the first time he went away to school? How much would she have cried every time he came home hurt after a mission…
She missed all the joys of being a mother. Her son grew from a tiny baby to a wonderful man and she didn't know just when that happened.
She didn't know when she started crying.
Naruto, for the first time in his life, was at a loss for words as his mother's tears fell down on his shoulders. So, he put everything he could into a hug and embraced her tighter than he ever had. Placing a finger under her chin, he lifted her tear-stained face until she was staring him in the eyes and placed a long kiss on her forehead. But unlike the typical routine, he didn't stop at that and started placing kisses all over her face. His dry lips traced her tear tracks, until they were wet with her salty tears and went onto to kiss her just below the lips. He lifted his head and placed another kiss on top of her head and then her temples and then her eyebrows and then the eyelids.
His lips descended down until they were inches above her own and their breaths turned quicker. Her nose tickled his and his hot breath fell on her wet lips. He shifted his gaze from her wet lips to her violet eyes and found them shining with an unknown passion. He moved closer but tilted his head at the last moment to place the kiss on her button nose.
'It's too soon,' he repeated to himself again and again in his mind as he watched the evident disappointment on his mother's face. He had no idea what these feelings he had for his mother meant but rushing into it would only end in disaster.
"W-what are y-you d-doing?" Kushina asked lowly as he resumed placing kisses all over her cranium. He never knew that someone's hair could taste this good.
"Your head is paining, right?" Naruto whispered softly as he kissed her ears. "I am taking away all the pain with kisses."
Kushina had no reply to that. She didn't tell him that her headache had long since disappeared, lest he stop kissing her. A large smile made its way onto her face as she took comfort in his arms. She still had a lot of time to get pregnant...again. Maybe a red-haired girl this time. Not that she had anything against blond hair but she wished that at least one of her kids would have her hair.
'I wonder if Naru-chan likes my hair?'
Naruto sighed in relief when his mother fell asleep atop his shoulder after the roller coaster of emotions that was this morning. He laid back on the bed slowly so as to not disturb his mother, who was resting on top of him. He stared at the ceiling in contemplation as he stroked her silky red hair that felt so soft in his hands.
Oh, how he was mistaken. This morning wasn't strange or sexy. It was simply perfect.
"I think I'm remembering things," Kushina dropped the second bombshell of that day as they ate breakfast. "Not a lot...just some of justu..."
"Oh," Naruto's voice betrayed his surprise. "So, the headache was because...you're remembering things?"
"Hmm," Kushina nodded slowly and deliberately. "I think so."
"So...what all do you remember?" Naruto asked as he directed his complete attention at his mother.
Kushina got all hot and flustered as his gaze pierced her and hid her flaming face behind her crimson hair. How could he have this effect on me by just looking at me? Stupid blondes with beautiful eyes…
"I remember my signature jutsu," Kushina informed as she looked at her left palm. "I have this special chakra...I can materialize chakra chains from my tenketsu."
'Chains?' he thought in interest. 'That's sounds so….kinky.'
She pointed her palm at the fall wall of the hall and thought hard about how it felt like to have a thick chain burst out of it. A silver, elbow-thick chain shot out of her palm at unbelievable speeds and pierced through the wall, forming a basketball sized hole.
Naruto palmed his face. "I think we can safely agree that you remember how to use them..."
Kushina chuckled sheepishly but before she could reply, a purple-haired ANBU burst through the window. 'This is getting old,' Kushina thought at the sight of the cat-masked woman.
"Naruto-kun, did something...happen?" Yugao asked but her dry voice showed that she was expecting something stupid again.
She wasn't completely wrong.
"Yeah, about that," Naruto said calmly before turning to face his mother. "COULDN'T YOU DO THAT IN A TRAINING GROUND OR SOMETHING?"
Yugao hid a chuckle behind her mask. She had a feeling that this was going to be a routine. She was about to go on her own merry way but a thought popped up in her mind. "Naruto-kun, you're not leaving with Jiraiya-sama, right?"
"Yeah," Naruto confirmed as he furrowed his brows in confusion. Kushina narrowed her eyes as she got a premonition that she wasn't going to like what was about to happen.
"So," Yugao felt like a schoolgirl confessing her feelings to her crush. "Do you need any help with training? I can help you with taijutsu and kenjutsu...if you want."
Kushina groaned in her mind; Called it! There was no doubt what her ever-friendly and caring son was going to say…
"Of course!" Naruto's grin brought a soft smile to Yugao's pale visage; Not that anyone could see it. "Thank you, Yugao-chan. I'll take you up on that offer."
"You're...welcome, Naruto-kun," Yugao bit her lip in nervousness. "I'll be waiting then."
"Sure," Naruto gave a wave of his hand as Yugao disappeared through the window as usual. He turned to face the blank gaze of his mother. "Awesome...right?"
Kushina huffed and turned up her chin into the air. Eventually, she managed to mumble out in an inaudible whisper. "I can help too."
"What?" Naruto frowned as Kushina wrung her hands in apprehension.
"I can help too, datte'bane!" she yelled out before ducking her head in embarrassment.
"Sure," Naruto tilted his head in confusion. What was she so embarrassed about? "The more the merrier."
"More...the...merrier?" Kushina repeated as her temper flared. He wanted two woman at once? "Pervert!"
With that she stormed out of the hall again, leaving behind a thoroughly confused Naruto. 'What did I do?!'
"So...this training you're talking about..." Naruto broached the topic again after Kushina cooled off. No sane person would ever deal with an enraged Kushina Uzumaki. "What is it?"
"Nature transformation," Kushina replied cheerfully, happy that he came to her first. Take that, stupid purple-haired minx! "You manipulate chakra to use elemental justu."
"Like fireballs, water dragons and all?!" Naruto shouted with evident excitement.
"Hmm, that depends on what chakra nature you have," Kushina had to stifle a giggle at his enthusiasm. "You can use justu of other nature too...but it'll be hard and takes up a lot of chakra."
Eh, doing the impossible was a habit to him, anyway. And of course, Excessive Chakra usage was never a problem for him.
"That's so cool, datte'bayo!" Naruto cheered as he imagined himself throwing a dozen justu at his enemies, scaring them to the bone. He released an evil chuckle at that thought and rubbed his hands in anticipation. Kushina didn't want to know what was running through his mind. "So where do we start?"
"We need a chakra paper first," Kushina said sheepishly. "It's a small square-shaped paper that absorbs your chakra and tells you what nature you have..."
Realization hit Naruto at the description and he scoured through his closet, throwing all the things out as he searched for a paper that fit the description. Kakashi gave it to him one day when he pestered the masked-man for some training. Kakashi simply dropped a stupid piece of paper in his hands and disappeared off to god knows where. Naruto being the responsible being he was, threw into his closet in frustration after he couldn't find out just what the fuck the paper did.
"Found it!" Naruto yelled in joy. Though his room looked like a cyclone had passed through it, he was more than happy to miraculously find a single paper in the jungle that was his closet. He ran over to his mother with the paper in hand and waited for her instruction diligently.
"Place it on your fingers and push some chakra into it."
The moment he sent his chakra into the paper, the paper was cleaved in half. "So, what's this supposed to be?"
"You have wind nature," Kushina explained before rubbing the back of her head in embarrassment. "That's different from mine. I have Water nature…"
"Ah, man. That means you can't help me?" Naruto's shoulders slumped in dejection.
"I still know some things about wind nature," Kushina comforted him with a pat on his head. Minato had wind nature too, if she remembered correctly. "I think you have to cut a waterfall in half first and then a mountain."
Naruto felt like a huge boulder from the sky dropped on his shoulders and pounded him into the ground. "Waterfall and...mountain? Why is this so hard, datte'bayo?"
"Chakra manipulation is difficult," Kushina nodded her head like a saint. "But you shouldn't give up before you even began, Naru-chan."
"Of course, not!" Naruto protested indignantly. "I wasn't complaining or anything. I was just surprised, that's all."
"So, what are you going to do now?" Kushina asked curiously. Now that she regained some of her memories, she was itching to go out and practice for some time.
"I know a waterfall nearby," Naruto prepared himself for a hell lot of training. "Let's go there."
"Awesome!"
Naruto watched slack-jawed as Kushina appeared at the clearing in a skintight training outfit. The navy blue sports bra clung to her frame like second skin and the shape of her perky breasts was clearly visible. Her navel was proudly displayed and Naruto wondered how it would feel to just mold it like clay in his hands. She wore form-fitting black training pants that accentuated her pert ass and shapely thighs. Her feet were surprisingly bare and Naruto assumed that she wanted to get a feel of the ground after a long time.
But he nearly died of a nosebleed when twenty more of her appeared in a burst of smoke and he was suddenly very happy that there was cool water to jump into if his predicament got any worse. He felt like he was taking a steam bath with how hot his skin was and beads of sweat ran down his face. His throat went dry as a desert and his mind once again suffered from lack of blood; He couldn't blame his heart in this case for sending all the blood to the head in his nether regions.
"You know shadow clone justu?" Naruto asked in surprise. Just my luck.
"I am a jinchuuriki too, remember?" Kushina smirked as she noticed the visible bulge in his pants.
"So, you're going to fight with all of them?" Naruto remarked casually as he walked over to a sturdy rock protruding out of the surface of the lake.
"Of course not," Kushina frowned in bafflement. "I am try to regain my skills."
"What?" Now it's Naruto's turn to be baffled. "Then what are the shadow clones for?"
Now she was furious. What the hell were all his esteemed Sensei teaching him all these years?
"You get the memories when your clone bursts, Naru-chan. That's why it's an A-ranked Kinjutsu. Most people can't bear the mental strain of maintaining more than one clone at a time. But we Jinchuuriki have tough minds and better regeneration, so..." Kushina tightened her jaw in worry as Naruto suddenly seemed like someone had pulled his heart out of his chest. "Y-you didn't know..."
Naruto clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles turned white. He had been spamming this single justu for a year and apparently no one thought of telling him that he could use it to train himself. He grit his teeth in anger and punched the rock he was sitting on until his hand bled and bones shattered. Did they neglect his training like they always did…or had they feared that he would turn of them if he suddenly got stronger? Fucking cowards!
Kushina walked over to him and hugged his head to her chest. She could literally feel the agony twisting and writhing in his eyes. She pushed her burning rage aside – Kakashi-baka better write his will – and concentrated on comforting him. "It's fine, Naru-chan. Kaa-chan's here for you now."
Naruto nodded in her embrace, feeling her boobs squish every time his lips pressed against them. "So, Kaa-chan...do you want see something phenomenal?"
"Huh?" Kushina tilted her head in curiosity as he rose to his feet.
Placing his hands in a cross, he shouted, "Tajuu Kage Bunshin no Justu."
Kushina's jaw dropped to the ground as hundreds and hundreds of clones appeared in the clearing, filling her vision with yellow. Her mind blanked at the thought how strong he must have gotten if he had learned the secret of the Kage Bunshin a few months ago. For one moment, she understood why the shinobi of Konoha never explained it to him; Naruto was a loose cannon at best and if he learned of his potential, he would be one dangerous loose cannon.
"I see no enemy, boss," declared one of the clones.
"Maybe he wants to fight with us?" another clone wondered.
"Come on, let's kick his ass!" A clone was already forming a Rasengan in its hand.
"Hey! Don't jump to conclusions, datte'bayo!" Naruto yelled as he prepared a fist in retaliation. "I just learned an awesome secret!"
"We learned it too when you learned it," A clone informed dryly. "With how stupid our boss is, it's no wonder he didn't figure it out on his own."
There was a unanimous agreement from the group at that statement. Some clones were already planning mutiny while the other clones were playing rock-paper-scissors to decide who would become the boss if the revolt was successful.
Kushina sweat-dropped. Only Naruto could have formed such...peculiar group of clones. They were a living – or clone – proof of his unpredictability and bullheadedness.
"Stop fighting and listen! Don't forget that I can always dispel you if I want," Naruto ordered and the clones grumbled in dissent but obeyed him. "Now, go and learn some kick ass taijutsu moves while I cut this stupid waterfall."
"Wait, Naru-chan," Kushina walked over to the clones and turned back to face him. "Not practicing is better than practicing a wrong move a million times. From what you said, you're bad at taijutsu right? I'll teach a group of clones my own taijutsu style while the others practice chakra control. It's important for us jinchuuriki to regularly practice it. And don't forget that you have to condition your body too; It won't help if you know the style but your body doesn't suit it."
"Hmm," Naruto nodded in thought as he contemplated her words. He really understood the benefits of having a jinchuuriki as a teacher now. They understood all your problems as they've already faced them before and know exactly what's good for you. Not for the first time, he was elated that he didn't go on that training trip with Jiraiya. "Okay. Divide yourselves into four groups. First group goes with Kaa-chan, second group tries to use Rasengan with one hand, third group practices leaf balancing exercise and fourth group helps me with this wind nature."
Despite protesting before, none of the clones disobeyed him this time and filed themselves into four groups. It seemed that his clones shared his enthusiasm for training.
Naruto stood on the water, with his clones standing beside him in a perfect line. All of them stared at the waterfall as though it was an enemy to be defeated. The wind blew around them calmly while the deafening sound of the waterfall echoed in the clearing. He nodded to himself in determination and.., "Eh, I don't know where to start!"
One clone face-palmed so hard that it dispelled itself. The remaining clones simply shook their heads in resignation; oh the woes of being a clone in this cruel world.
Naruto pondered over this puzzle for a moment before deciding to follow his instincts. He raised his hands until they were horizontal to the ground and directed his palms at the waterfall. Building up a huge amount of chakra, he tried to infuse it into the wind around him and pushed it all at once in a blinding release of chakra.
The wind in the vicinity gained speed until his clothes and hair ruffled in the breeze and moved forward to slam into the waterfall harmlessly. Okay. He got the power part down pat but he needed to concentrate on his control. All he needed to do was turn this blunt force into a sharp one. But goddamn it! Control was where he sucked the most.
He shifted his gaze from the waterfall to where his mother was training his clones and had to hold back a deadpan. He had never seen his clones focusing their attention this thoroughly on anything or, in this case, anyone. But his mother seemed to have captivated them by the sight of her moving so gracefully in her stance. It was like she was gliding on the air and dancing like the wind. She twisted and turned like a river rushing through the mountains. Her each move was so precise and powerful that it resembled a panther striking her prey.
Her tight clothes stretched and shifted enticingly with her each movement and seemed to clung to her tighter and tighter. Sweat dribbled down her frame, accentuating her every curve and marking her every inch. Her breasts heaved and jiggled with her each stance and his eyes followed its every bounce like a sex-starved man. Her body shone like a gem as sun light reflected upon the sweat covering her gorgeous body.
So when some of clones stopped practicing to simply watch her dance, he didn't say anything out of the fear of sounding like a hypocrite. And of course, he wasn't against getting some good memories after all of this was finished.
"If you're done ogling Kaa-chan," his clone remarked dryly, making him flush in embarrassment. "We can start practicing again."
Naruto went back to dealing with the waterfall but he did follow his mother's every movement from the corner of his eyes. From the way his clone rolled its eyes, it seemed that he wasn't exactly subtle with his peeking.
As the evening sun was about to set, Naruto decided that he just didn't suck at chakra control. He was horrible at it. He managed to disturb the flow of the waterfall and one time, he pushed all the water away to side out of sheer frustration. But no matter how much he tried, he just couldn't cut it.
It didn't help that after a heavy practice session, his mother decided to take a bath to get rid of all the sweat she had accumulated. She was swimming in the water a few meters away from him in her whole naked glory and he cursed the water for not being fresh. His underpants must have took more damage than the waterfall with how hard his erection was. Like a soldier, he weathered it all but even as their training session was coming to end, he didn't manage to achieve what he wanted.
"Naru-chan?" The seductive tone of his mother reached him. She had her hands placed on her boobs to hide them from view and was looking at anywhere but him. "Can you turn around for a few seconds? I am coming out of the water."
Naruto heard the distinct sound of fabric tearing and he knew that his underwear had lost its fierce battle with his manhood. He gulped and turned around to face the other way, with his eyes shut for extra precaution. "You can come out now."
He could hear the noise of water splashing as Kushina came out of the water and walked into the cave behind the waterfall to dress her stark naked body. It was definitely the hardest ten seconds of his life. He commended himself for being such a gentleman while the perverse part of his mind cursed his very existence.
Kushina sighed in disappointment when her son didn't even try to take a peek. He was too noble for his own good. "You can turn around now."
Naruto did as she told and his mind clouded up when he saw her nude form being obscured by the waterfall. But he could still make out a faint picture of her perfect body as she lifted her leg to don her underwear. His mind raged at him to finish what he had started and this time, he didn't argue. In fact, he wholesomely agreed with his mind on this particular matter.
He lifted his trembling hands and his palms faced the waterfall again. He imagined the waterfall to be curtain that was hiding the delectable body of his mother from view. 'How does one open a curtain?'
You place your hands in the middle and push away the two halves aside to reveal the treasure hiding behind it. He envisioned two wind blades clashing and chafing against each other, producing a scorching friction. He pushed the blades at the waterfall and just as they touched it, he tugged away the two blades from each other, forming a wide split in the middle.
Kushina looked up in surprise when sunlight filtered down upon her from the wide split in the waterfall. She was about to wear her sports bra when the water diverged in the middle. Her gaze drifted to her son, who was watching her semi-covered boobs in abject fascination. She pulled down the bra down and let out a chuckle when he twitched in annoyance.
Naruto cursed himself for not being faster. Her bra was descending down her nipples when his gaze fell on her and he only managed to catch sight of the bottom part of her breasts. Kushina looked thoroughly amused as he cursed himself over and over despite accomplishing what he was trying to achieve since morning.
Ah, the perplexing priorities of a hormone fueled teenage boy.
Kushina fell asleep the moment they entered the apartment, exhausted from hours and hours of practice. Her body was recovering unbelievably fast due to her being a jinchuuriki but it still wasn't comparable to the robustness of someone like Naruto. Placing her sleeping form on the body and tucking her into the blankets, Naruto walked out of the apartment on a mission.
Since he had learned the first step of wind manipulation, he decided to meet one of the rare wind users in Konoha; Asuma Sarutobi, the sensei of team 10. He strolled over to the training ground 29, where the team usually practiced, and breathed a sigh of relief when he found them. He had no patience to roam all over Konoha in search of the bearded, ever smoking man.
"Hey, Asuma-san!" Naruto greeted the man, who was resting against the bark of a tree.
Shikamaru, ever the lazy ass, was sleeping beside Asuma. Ino was moving through the stances of her clan's taijutsu while Chouji was munching on a bag of chips as he watched her practice.
Asuma quirked an eyebrow in interest when he saw the resident Jinchuuriki walking towards him. The boy had a purpose to his steps and Asuma readied himself to impart his worldly wisdom to another soul. Ah, the joys of being a teacher.
"Hello, Naruto," Asuma waved lazily and blew out some smoke. "Here for something?"
"Yeah," Naruto rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment. "I heard you have wind-natured chakra too. I just learned the first step, so… it'll be of great help if you show me jutsu to practice."
"Finished the first step, you say?" Asuma rubbed at his beard in thought. "At this stage, I'd suggest you to try and cut a small pebble first. Then you can easily learn wind justu."
"Cut a pebble?" Naruto repeated incredulously. He just won a bloody war with a waterfall and now all he had to do was cut a pebble?
"Yes," Asuma nodded, oblivious to the incredulous thoughts running in Naruto's mind. "After you make a perfect cut on a leaf, you should do the same with a pebble. You did make a perfect cut, right?"
Leaf?! Naruto could only stare blankly at the Jonin, who mistook his incredulity for ignorance. Asuma plucked a leaf from the ground and placed it in Naruto's hand. "Now, try to cut it."
Naruto stared at the leaf as though it was the bane of his existence. A small breeze blew through the vicinity, blowing the fragile leaf out of his hand. Naruto picked up another and sent enough chakra to cut a waterfall out of sheer spite. The leaf never stood a chance. His wind chakra cut right through the middle of the leaf, cleaving it into two equal halves but it didn't stop at that. The excessive chakra rushed to the ground with a vengeance and cut a deep trench into it.
Shikamaru jolted awake at the foot deep trench that suddenly appeared beside him while Ino and Chouji hurried over to check what had happened. Asuma's cigarette stub fell to the ground as his mouth hung open in shock. "W-what...H-how?"
"I thought the first step was cutting a waterfall!" Naruto threw up his hands into the air in disbelief.
"What?!" Asuma barked in shock. "That's almost the last step!"
While one part of his mind was relived that he didn't have to cut a mountain now, the other part was laughing its ass off. Apparently, taking advice from an amnesiac did wonders to your training.
"Anyway," Naruto shrugged in a 'what-can-you-do' manner. "Will you teach me, Asuma-san?"
"Sure," Asuma agreed absentmindedly. Was this kid a prodigy in disguise or something? No one could directly finish the last step without going through all the basic steps first. But evidence rpoved different.
Ino, who was intently watching the by-play between her Sensei and the blonde, latched onto Naruto's arm. "Naruto! I heard you are going to participate in the coming chunin exams."
"Um, yes," Naruto grew uncomfortable as a calculative smile appeared on Ino's face. "Why, Ino-chan?"
"I want to participate too," she looked up at him with a pout on her face before it turned into one of exasperation as she looked at her teammates. "Shikamaru is already a chunin and Chouji's father wants him to wait another year to learn his clan justu."
Ino shifted closer to him and buried his arm into her developing breasts. "And now I'm left all alone."
Asuma watched with an amused smile as Ino used her prowess at seduction on the oblivious boy. As Naruto's face flushed from her actions and his gaze fell down to her body, Asuma marked this one as another successful attempt on Ino's part.
"So, why don't we become partners and make a team, Naruto-kun?" Ino stared up at him with those soft baby blue eyes of hers. "Will you help me?
'Woah, woah, woah. Slow down there girl,' Naruto yelled inwardly as she started rubbing his arm with her boobs. He would've accepted her offer even if she wasn't putting up such a tempting show but man, didn't that cement his decision firmly.
"Asuma-sensei! Naruto-kun will be practicing with us from now on and you will help him," Ino directed a scathing glare at her lazy sensei.
"I should?" Asuma threw back his head as though he was being forced to something that went against his ideals. "Oh, fine."
Ah, the woes of being a teacher.
"I still don't understand how this lazy ass was made chunin before me," Naruto pointed his thumb at Shikamaru, who dozed off to sleep as soon as he confirmed that his life wasn't in danger.
Shikamaru cracked open an eye lazily and somehow, his expression perfectly conveyed just how troublesome he found the whole issue to be. "Even I don't know why I was made chunin. So, stop crying on me, you troublesome blonde."
"Ignore him, Naruto-kun," Ino gave Shikamaru a look that showed how much trouble he was in. Shikamaru muttered a resigned 'troublesome' and went back to sleep. "Now who do you think our third team member must be? It better not be Forehead-chan!"
Before Naruto could reply, a shout reached his ears. "Naru-chan!"
"Okay, see you, Ino-chan," Naruto wrestled his arm of Ino's grip and gave a hurried wave. "Thank you, Asuma-san. I'll be back here tomorrow."
"Um, why are you in a hurry?" Ino asked with a raised hurry but he had already disappeared in a blur of yellow. "You know anything, Shika?"
"Women are troublesome," was Shikamaru's only comment as he watched the telltale signs of red hair in the distance.
"Hey! Don't pick on me," Ino kicked him in the ribs in retaliation.
Kushina engulfed him in a bone crushing hug the second he ran over to her. "Naru-chan!"
Her hands roamed all over his face and torso, touching and prodding him as though to check whether he was real. Her breaths came out at a frantic pace and a sheen of sweat coated her deathly pale face. "K-Kushina w-woke up….b-but N-Naru-chan w-wasn't there…N-Naru-chan disappeared...Kushina was so worried...don't l-leave Kushina, p-please."
Naruto's heart trembled in agony as he watched her beg him to never leave her again. Was she so terrified that she regressed back to her childish speech pattern? From the moment she woke up, he was always there beside her but he ignored how much of an effect his disappearance would have on her. It must be like missing a part of her.
"I'm here, Kushina," Naruto hugged her tighter and stroked her back comfortingly. "I am here. You are not alone."
"K-Kushina was so scared," Kushina mumbled fearfully as she buried her face into his neck and occasional shudders wracked her body. "K-Kushina hates to be alone."
From the moment she came to Konoha to become a Jinchuuriki, she was alone. Loneliness was her deepest fear, so she hid it behind a mask of rage. Whenever the other kids bullied her, the fear only grew and her hope waned. She believed that she would always be alone and turned that fear and sadness into anger to beat up the other kids. So, when Minato appeared out of nowhere and gave her something to hang onto, she clutched at it like a lifeline. Her confidence returned and her fears slowly but steadily disappeared.
But now that most of her memories of that had disappeared, the deep-rooted fears took shape again to haunt her the moment she found out that she was alone in the apartment. She was terrified that she thought for a moment that everything that happened the last two days was just a dream…and that she's still in a coma.
"I'm so sorry," Naruto whispered in her ear and the raw pain was audible in his voice. "Remember that I'd never leave you, Kaa-chan. You mean so much more to me than you can imagine."
He felt her nod and tighten her hold on him until not even air could get between them. He lifted her to hold her in bridal style and she wrapped her arms around his neck before burying her head into the crook of his neck. The full moon was glowing ethereally behind him as he carried over to the rooftops to his apartment. He kicked open the door and instead of placing her down on her feet, he walked over to the Kitchen to place her on the counter.
Kushina face burned with a fiery blush when he parted her legs and stood between her thighs. She somehow knew that placing a woman on the counter meant that the man was about to kiss her senseless and have his way with her. That opinion only solidified when Naruto's moved from her waist to settle on her ass. She wrapped her fingers around her neck and brought him closer until their foreheads were touching.
Naruto moved his mouth to her ear and whispered. "You've been so naughty, Kushina."
"I-I was?" Kushina moaned as he kissed her ear lobe.
"Hmm," he breathed into her neck, making her shiver in anticipation. He ghosted his lips over her neck and sucked on her pressure point, eliciting another arousing moan out of her. His hands squeezed her pert ass daringly and she arched her spine in pleasure, until her massive boobs were pressing against his chest firmly. Her erect nipples poked his chest, just like how his rock-hard erection was grounding into her thigh. He buckled his hips, pushing his cock against her weeping womanhood, and both of let out a long moan at the sensations that coursed through their bodies.
His lips moved to her collarbone and he bit on it until she cried out in a perfect blend of pleasure and pain. She stared at the angry red bite mark he left on her skin and she had to bring her thighs closer to conceal her evident arousal at the thought of him marking her as his. His erection that was lying against her core throbbed happily when her thighs rubbed against its rigid surface. He shoved his manhood at her gushing core again and pinched her ass at the same time. The end result was her nether regions colliding with his hard-on and her pants dipped a little into her core.
Oh, how he wished he could do away with all these clothes. But he couldn't. His conscience wouldn't accept him taking advantage of a vulnerable woman, even if the woman wanted it just as much or more than he did.
"Playing me with your words," his lips settled just above her boobs and his tongue rolled out of his mouth to lick her pale, delicious skin. "Teasing me with your sexy dresses," he buried his face into the valley between her breasts and took a deep whiff of her scent; The intoxicating drug that made him want to do less than honorable things to her. "Controlling me with your actions..." his lips traced her clothed breasts and he placed a gentle kiss on the nipple that was threatening to make a hole in her dress.
That simple action made her take his face into her hands and push it into her breasts. He rubbed his manhood over her pants that were already soaking wet, sending delightful shivers up her spine. His hands molded her ass, testing again and again if it really was as firm as it looked. It was.
"So, what should we do to Kushina for being such a naughty girl?" Naruto asked as he bit her nipple. She cried out again and tugged painfully on his hair but didn't relent her tight grip on his head. "Or maybe...what will you do to compensate, Kushina?"
The question was accompanied by another push of hips and she threw back her head in a carnal daze. Naruto could barely control himself now after watching her face flush in yearning and hearing her cute whimpers as she desperately tried to hold back her arousal.
"Anything!" Kushina yelled out as he squeezed her ass again. "I'll give you anything."
"Oh," Naruto purposefully drawled the word, making her squirm in shame and desire. "Anything, You say?"
Kushina's mind was already running a mile per minute. What was he about to ask? With how scorching hot this evening turned out to be, she wouldn't be surprised if he asked for something primal and physical. They were way past the 'kiss' stage now, even though he was deliberately not kissing her on the lips for some reason. Maybe he wanted something much tighter. With how fascinated he was by her ass, there was every possibility that he was thinking of taking away her other virginity. Or maybe he was into kinky stuff. He liked holding her prisoner in his arms and he was controlling by his very nature…
"Teach me how to form chakra chains," was Naruto's much-awaited request.
'Ehhhh?' And just like that, the whole mood came crashing down. The room suddenly felt colder and the wetness in her pants felt uncomfortable. His hands on her ass felt foreign and the angry, red mark on her collarbone looked like a bruise.
She was so utterly dismayed that it took her a minute to even form a reaction. And slowly, as her instincts directed her, her fist rose as her temper blared to dangerous levels and her crimson-red hair flailed around like nine living tails. "Idiot!"
He was pummeled into the tiled floor and he moaned, this time in pain, as he held his throbbing cranium. He must have wrongly presumed that seduction was an easy way to earn favors. He couldn't help but muse in distinct amusement that the day started with her holding her head in pain and ended with him clutching his head in pain. Apparently, seduction only worked out for women.
Taking out his mental list of things he would like to do in the future, he crossed out the 'seduction' part so thoroughly that it seemed like a black blot of ink.
