Disclaimer: Truth is far beyond our comprehension and Lie is far too close to comfort. Rather than dallying around in the middle, it's pertinent to choose a side. So, I'll go out on a limb and say, I own Naruto...but don't believe me. You have been warned.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

Naruto hadn't had much idea about the phrase or the womenin contextbut, he's slowly getting acquainted with both. Kushina had interesting ways of showing her fury. Far too interesting, if he had anything to say about it.

He didn't know when his body became the ideal bed and his chest, the softest pillow. Kushina was currently sleeping atop him, with her head resting on his chest and her hair tickling his nose. Her sponge like boobs squished onto his pectorals and her hips were placed right above his erection. Every time she moved in her sleep, her whole body rubbed against his in a distinctively pleasurablemanner and the heatproduced from the frictionbetween their bodies was enough to make the cool winter air shy away from them.

It was anything but uncomfortable.

Kushina had become rather daringafter his miserable attempt at seduction and, suffice to say, she wasn't as bad at it as he was. She took 'fighting fire with fire' at face value – He should have expected that after the kitchen incident – and was taking revenge for every kiss he placed on her.

Oh, the mere thought of her revenge was enough to make him go weak in the knees.

Somehow, her clothes became a few inches shorter, revealing her slender waist and long, seductive legs. She constantly bit her lips, drawing his attention to them every time she did, and then would look at him innocently with that wide, downright criminal gaze of hers. She rubbed her soft, bare feet up and down his legs whenever they were sitting at the dining table and all his pants were destroyed by some mysteriousforce, leaving him only in shorts.

The nights were the toughest.

She had forgone her bra to wear a silky, translucent nightgown that might as well didn't exist with how thin it was. Her side of the bed consistently remained empty these days as she had made his body into her own privatemattress. Her ice-hard nipples bit into his skin and the subtle teases of her bare skin on his made him rue the day he thought it was a good idea to use his seduction skills on 'The Uzumaki Kushina.'

These days, even the twitch of her finger made him jolt in anticipation of what was to come. Her feminine wiles surely hadn't softened over the years and it didn't help that she still looked as young as a twenty year old.

Kushina woke up with a soft yawn and stretched her body as she sat on the rock-hard erection of her own warm bed. She placed her palms on his bare chest and jerked her ass back until his cock was throbbing under her firm butt. Her crimson-red hair fell around her head in a curtain and she wet her lips just to enticehim more.

Naruto clenched the bed sheets in a tight grip as his eyes darted down to her DD cup breasts that were just spillingout of her robe. From the angle she was leaning in, he could clearly see the top of her dark pink nipples and as though she desired to torture him more, she bent down further.

"Good morning, Naru-chan!"She greeted with a knowing smile as her hands traced his chest.

'She's your mother, she's your mother, she's your mother...' Naruto chanted in his mind like it was a divine mantra.

"What should we have for breakfast?" Kushina tapped her lips with a finger in thought. Her other hand rested under her boobs, pushing them up until they bulged like twin watermelons.

'Don't say boobs, don't say boobs, don't say boobs...' Naruto started chanting the next mantra of his morning.

"We should try something hot this morning," she continued, unaware of the thoughts running through Naruto's mind.

'No taking her on the table, no taking her on the table, no taking her on the table...' If anything, his meditation prowess was surely climbing up with each day. He could probably remain calm even if the Kyuubi was rampaging outside his apartment. At this moment, he wasn't sure what he would prefer more; A vengeful Kyuubi or a terrifyingly sexy Kushina.

And the worst thing was, she had no ideawhat her simplewords were doing to his body. It's like he kept connecting every word that flew out of her mouth to sex. Not a good habit.

"Kaa-chan," Naruto called out tentatively.

Kushina turned her gaze to him to notice his beet-red face. 'Maybe it's too hot in here?' she wondered as a bead of sweat slid down his temple.

"Yes, Naru-chan?" She blinked down at him and tilted her head in bewilderment when he sucked in a gulp of air.

'Not that I don't like this position but I won't die of a heart stroke if you kindly get down,' Naruto wanted to say but settled with, "Can you please get up? It's...uncomfortable?"

Kushina went silent and her crimson hair shadowed her eyes. Before Naruto could wonder if he had said something wrong, a wave of killing intent slammed into him. The room suddenly darkened and the air went a little too cold. "Are you…saying I'm fat?"

"W-what?" Naruto would forever deny that he squeaked and shook in terror like a cat stuck in a corner. "I-I d-didn't!"

"Then what did you mean?" The killing intent doubled and Naruto suddenly got aware of the fact that his erection was lying underneathher ass. It would be a great loss to see little Narutokilled before he even experienced anything.

"I-I am...hungry?" Naruto took a shot in the dark.

"Really?" Just like that, the room was all bright and warm again. A smile was playing on Kushina's lips and she looked as cute as ever. "Me too."

'W-what h-happened?' Naruto laid on the bed for sometime, thinking about the last two minutes of his life. He didn't realize he just had a hands-on experience with the fact that women could relate any word to weight and it's badwhen they did. "O-okay."

Kushina fell back onto his chest, her hair covering them like a blanket. "I want breakfast on bed today."

"As you command, my princess," Naruto joked as he wrapped his arms around her.

"What did you say?" Kushina shot up like a coiled spring and the intensity of her gaze unnerved him.

"As you command...my princess?" Naruto repeated in bafflement. 'Just what's going on with her today?'

"Don't forget to find a man who will treat you like the princess you are, okay?" Her father patted her on the head with a warm smile on his face.

"Stop embarrassing me, Otou-chan!" A nine year old Kushina blushed to the roots of her.

"My little princess only deserves the best," Her father stated like it was a fact; which it might be for all she knew. "Be it education or luxury or swords...or men."

"I hate you, Otou-chan!" Kushina hid her face behind her curtain of crimson hair.

Her father let out a loud belly-laugh. "But I love you so much, my princess."

Kushina's face gained a soft look before she blushed until the color of her face matched her hair. She slammed her head back into his chest and her hair fell around her head like a veil, covering her face from view. Kushina felt like her heart would burst with how fast it was beating. No matter what she did, she just couldn'tget rid of her blush.

'You just have to go and say the most amazing things,' Kushina cursed her son in her mind. 'It makes it easier and easier for me to forget what we are to each other...'

"I hate you, Naru-chan!" Kushina declared as she slammed her fists into his chest repeatedly.

He didn't feel any hatredcoming from her at those words...instead it felt like...love? Her soft punches felt like love taps and for the life of him, he couldn't figure out what was running through her mind. But he figured this was what made her so appealing...It felt like taking a blind ride through a tunnel when he was with her. Never knowing what to expect.

Instead of getting annoyed like she expected, Naruto let out a loud laugh. "But I love you so much, my princess."

For the second time that day, Kushina felt like her heart would burst out of her chest.

Naruto was confused. He didn't know what happened this morning but Kushina randomly blushed whenever she looked at him and then hid her face when he cast an inquisitive look at her. It was endearing if not a bit...mind-boggling?

She wasn't even making her attempts at seducing his brain out. He was mildly disappointed by that fact and then promptly bonked himself on the head for feeling disappointed.

"Kaa-chan," Naruto called out as they were having breakfast. "I am going to meet up with Ino today to form our team, so..."

She understood what he trying to imply. The last time he disappeared for an hour, she cried herself to worry and then glomped him when she saw him again. She was still a bit cross about that memory. "It's fine, Naru-chan. I am thinking of meeting Tsunade-sama today."

"Baa-chan?" Naruto frowned. "Why?"

"Women things," Kushina replied dryly.

"Oh," Even heknew that going down that road wouldn't end well. "So… tell Baa-chan I said 'Hi'?"

"Sure," Kushina shrugged. It still baffled her that the bitter Tsunade she remembered from her time became the Hokage and allowed her son to openly call her 'Baa-chan'. They must surely be a story behind it and of course, Naruto being the lovable idiot he was, must have melted her heart with his charms.

'It's a good thing he doesn't realize how good he is with words,' Kushina decided in her mind. The shinobi world wasn't ready to face that storm.

They walked side by side down the road to the Hokage Tower, as Naruto still wasn't comfortable with leaving her on her own. Kushina got both annoyed and heart-warmed by his protective instincts; It was his lucky that her heart won that battle over annoyance.

But one thing he couldn't help but notice that he only came up to her nose. It wasn't so glaringly obvious when they were sitting down or sleepingbeside each other but now, it grated at Naruto's nerves. He shot up a few inches in the last few months but apparently, he was still short. He hoped that he didn't stop growing… or it would be too humiliating if his mother had to look down at him.

Before long, they arrived at the Hokage Tower to see a dozen chunin and genin bustling around to do their daily jobs.

"So...I'll see you soon?" Naruto reluctantly left her side.

"...Okay," Kushina wanted to say something more but there was a barrier halting her words from coming out of her mouth.

Naruto gave a lazy wave as he turned his back to her and walked away with his hands in his pockets. He didn't realize how hardit was to leave her alone even for an hour. It was like he was leaving a part of him behind.

He was unaware of his surroundings as he deliberated on his feelings and it wasn't long before he collided with another person on his way.

"Ow!" A female voice moaned in pain from her position on the ground.

Naruto blinked as two buns appeared in his line of sight, followed by the annoyed expression on Tenten's face. "Watch where you're going!"

"Sorry, Tenten," Naruto gave her a hand and pulled her to her feet. "I was...distracted."

"It's fine," she huffed before a pink hue appeared on her cheeks. "I wasn't looking where I was going too..."

Naruto shrugged nonchalantly. "So what got you thinking?"

She was about to shoot down his question with a halfhearted answer but a thought struck her mind. She had never even spoken to this guy, despite being a fellow Konoha shinobi her age. As Gai-sensei would say, 'That is most unyouthful.'

"I am thinking of participating in this chunin exams," Tenten informed as she leaned on the side wall. "But Lee is still recovering and they're already thinking of making Neji a chunin."

Naruto nodded along until he heard Neji's name. "WHAT?"

Tenten jerked in surprise at the shout. "What happened?"

"They're making Neji a chunin?" Naruto paced around like he couldn't wrap his mind around it; which he actually couldn't. "That Neji who has a ten foot pole up his ass?"

"Yes," Tenten replied dryly. She knew opinion about her teammate wasn't so great among the rookies.

"You mean that asshole Neji who landed shy and innocent Hinata in the hospital?"

"Yes, the same," Tenten's face already showed signs of annoyance. "But he changed, you know?"

"The Neji I beat blue and black and defeated in the Chunin exams?" Naruto threw his hands up in the air in frustration.

"You didn't beat him black and blue," Tenten defended her teammate hotly. "But...you did defeat him."

"Man, it's like someone's trying their best to not make me chunin if even Neji is becoming one," Naruto sighed in disappointment. "The only way it can be worse is if they bring back Sasuke and make him chunin too!"

Tenten could sympathize with him. Even she had no idea how he still remained genin, despite defeating Gaara in the forest. "So, you're participating in the exams too?"

"Yeah," Naruto said tiredly. He was not particularly enthused about it after hearing that every idiot was becoming chunin these days. They might as well make Gaara the Kazekage at this rate. "But I am searching for the last teammate for my team."

"Oh," Tenten nodded in comprehension. "I should search for two other teammates too."

"Good luck to you, then," Naruto gave one of trademarked grins, making a light blush coat her cheeks.

"Thanks," she said softly.

They turned their backs to each other and were about to walk away when both of them paused abruptly. Two face-palms echoed in the street as realization hit them at the same time. They ran back to each other, looking sheepish and stupid.

"Um, do you want to join our team?" Naruto asked as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Um...not that I don't like the idea or anything..." Tenten contemplated the benefits of being on a team with the blond powerhouse. It did help that he defeated her teammate who was considered as one of the strongest genin of their generation.

"I use wind chakra," Naruto hit the final nail on the coffin, with a small smirk playing on his lips.

"When do we start?"

Naruto grinned in triumph as he led her to the clearing where they would meet their third teammate. It didn't strike his mind at that time that he was the sole male in his team and that his other pink-haired teammate wouldn't be too happy when she realized that he didn't even ask her.

Kushina crossed her fingers and placed her head on top of them while her elbows rested on her thighs. She had a melancholic look on her face and a pout was visible on her lips. Tsunade was staring at Kushina with a dull expression on her face, while her eye twitched in irritation. "Tell me what's bothering you, Kushina."

"Nothing," Kushina mumbled childishly, making Tsunade sigh in resignation.

"Is it about Naruto?" Tsunade made a wild guess, knowing that the blond-haired idiot would certainly be involved in this. "You guys are...having any problems?"

"Nothing like that, datte'bane!" Kushina eyes widened in alarm. "Everything's fine..."

"Then what's the issue?" Tsunade frowned. "Is the brat not fine with this arrangement?"

'Oh, you have no idea,' Kushina thought.

"It's just...I don't know how to be a mother," Kushina revealed as she buried her face in her palms. "I feel like I should be doing more..."

"No one knows how to be one from the start," Tsunade answered wisely. "You just need to be there when he needs you and support him."

"Need?" Kushina repeated as her mind went back to his stiffproblem. He seemed to be having a problem with the thing in his pants but every time she offered to help, he denied her before rushing into the bathroom. It's so confusing! "But what if he says he doesn't need my help?"

"Hmph, it sounds like Naruto to deny any help," Tsunade huffed in understanding. "He's a teenager, so of course he doesn't accept help. They are too prideful for their own good. Sometimes, you need to take the initiative."

"I should?" Kushina asked in wonder. She saw a glow of enlightenment shining behind Tsunade's head.

"Hmm," Tsunade nodded in agreement, not knowing what lewd thoughts were running through Kushina's mind. "Even if it's too hard and even if he doesn't ask for your help, you need to take care of it."

'Too hard?' Kushina remembered the feel of his rod-like erection in her hand. It did feel too hard.

"And, and!" Kushina raised her hand like a schoolgirl in class. "What if he doesn't know he wants it, even though he does?"

Tsunade blinked at the outright weird question. "Then you should just give it to him and show him that he needs it."

"Uh huh," Kushina nodded diligently. She began to see Tsunade in a new light, like that of a knowledgeable sage with a glow of wisdom around her.

So, all she needed to do was to take the initiative and kiss him, even if he's clearly too afraid to take that step. Then once he realizes what he had been missing all these days, he would definitely want for more. Kushina let out a perverse giggle, with a rosy blush dusting her cheeks. The mere thought of him getting all aggressive and claiming what's his was more than enough to make her shiver in anticipation.

Meanwhile, Tsunade misunderstood Kushina's smile for happiness and continued passionately. "As a mother, you should start teaching him all the things he doesn't know about."

"Doesn't know about..." Kushina mused about guiding him slowly into all the positions and acts known to humankind. She was sure he didn't have much idea about sex or pleasuring a woman. She could teach him all sorts of things…with oral sex at the forefront. She was sure he would grasp them all very quickly.

"You should also discipline him every once in a while," Tsunade asserted firmly. "Kami knows that brats needs some discipline first."

"Discipline?!"Kushina squeaked at the thought. "Like punishment?"

"You can punish him too if he gets out of line," Tsunade confirmed and Kushina let out a soft gasp. "It's your right as a mother."

"My right?" Kushina blushed a fiery red. She wasn't sure if he would like all those kinky actsand it seemed like it would go the other way...with him punishing herand her taking it alllike a good girl. Maybe they could settle with simple things like spanking, trying each other and...stuff.

"But for all this to work," Tsunade gave as pause, as if to impress the gravity of the statement. "You needto take the initiativefirst."

Kushina gave a resolute nod, with a holy fire burning in her eyes. Tsunade gave herself a pat on the back for successfully educating a naive woman on the duties of motherhood.

"If he still gives you any headaches, you can bring him to me," Tsunade punched her right fist into her left palm. "I will help you with this."

"EHH?" Kushina had a massive nosebleed at thought of the bustyHokage helping her with Naruto.

'What did I say?' Tsunade wondered in disbelief.

Naruto entered his apartment with exasperation quite evident on his face. His training with his other two teammates hadn't gone so well. Tenten kept complaining that she had a weak girl who didn't even know what it's to be a ninja as a teammate. Ino didn't take to the accusations kindly and exclaimed rather loudly about girls who might as well be boys with how brashthey were.

That continued right until lunch, after which they parted ways with varying levels of annoyance and exasperation. Now Naruto understood why two kunoichi were never placed in the same team; They made his and Sasuke's rivalry look tame.

Naruto slammed the door close and slumped down on the sofa. Kushina poked her head out of the bedroom to find him about to fall asleep and she quickly intervened. "Naru-chan? How did the training go?"

"Horrible," was Naruto's simple but accurate reply.

"Oh," That stopped Kushina short but it did give her an opportunity. "How about I make it better?"

"Make it better?" Naruto repeated curiously. His sleep-addled mind didn't find anythingpeculiar about that statement.

"Hmm," Kushina nodded with a slight smile. "I can teach you how to form chakra chains..."

"Really?" Naruto shot back to life in an instant. He jumped to his feet and rushed to her like a kid on sugar-high. "When, when, when..."

"We can start right now if you want," Kushina shrugged nonchalantly, pretending to be uninterested. "But first, take off your shirt."

"Why?" Naruto asked suspiciously but one glare from Kushina and he acquiesced to her demands without complaint.

"Now, Chakra chains are formed from the largest tenketsu points in our body," Kushina went around his naked torso to stand behind him. "The best and easiest spot are the small of your back and the center of your stomach."

Kushina placed a hand on his back, making him arch his spine at her touch. Her lithe fingers prodded his back until she stopped at a single point. "Now what you need to do is concentrate your chakra at this point."

Naruto nodded and tried his best to accumulate his chakra but somehow, it always flowed out of his grip. It was like trying to contain water in a holed container. Despite his best efforts, it flowed around like an errant river. "This...is tough."

"Hmm, I know," Kushina breathed on his neck as she spoke, producing a shiver out of him. "It took me years to learn but well, I was a small girl at that time. You might learn it faster."

"What to do after we gather the chakra?" Naruto asked as he continued his efforts. His skin around the point felt like it was melting off his body and the feel of the massive chakra being gathered at a single point was distinctly painful.

"You need to mold it until it feels denser than metal," Kushina placed her index finger on the small of his back to gauge the level of his chakra. "No, this isn't enough."

"I don't understand how it works," Naruto grumbled loudly as he failed yet again at molding his chakra.

"...How about I show you?" Kushina offered with a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

"Show me?" Naruto furrowed his brows in confusion.

Kushina walked over to face him and held the hem of her t-shirt. Before he could comprehend what she was doing, she lifted her t-shirt over her head, leaving her only in her white, translucent bra. "Yes, you can get a feel of it if you want."

That sounded both exciting and ominous. "H-How?"

Kushina took his hand in hers and placed it right over her left breast. A jolt traveled down Naruto's spine but he made no move to tug his hand back. He resisted the urge to squeeze the soft flesh he could feel under his hand and looked her right in the eyes. Kushina stared right back and in swift motion, pushedhis hand onto her breast. The bouncy flesh squished under his palm and Kushina bit her lip to suppress a moan. "Now, I will gather chakra and you can get a senseof it."

Naruto could only nod. He was certain he would feel everything other than chakra. All he had to do was gather some wind chakra into his palm and her paper-thin bra would be torn to shreds. He could feel the vibrations of her heart thudding against her chest and involuntarily, he pressed his palm harder into her flesh. Slowly, his palm started to get warm as Kushina gathered chakra to the major tenketsu point in her heart. "I can feel it!"

"Now I will start molding it," Kushina said as she closed her eyes to focus better.

Naruto could sense something massive building beneath his palm as sheer power radiated from her tenketsu. At first, it felt like normal chakra but slowly hardened and twisted upon itself until it resembled something greater. He justknew that if she so desired, she could kill him with a simple burst of her chakra. "T-this is...so powerful."

"Chakra chains produced from the heart are called Chains of Death," Kushina explained as she gradually reduced her chakra output. "They are most powerful variety of chains and with them, you can even bind the strongest entity in this world. But it comes at the price of the life of the user. So, these are the last resort. It's also why they are the easiest to feel."

Naruto nodded as he reluctantly removed his hand from her breast. "What next?"

"Now..." Kushina paused to let him stew over it for a while. "I will do the same with different tenketsu and you will try to sense it each time. I won't tell you which tenketsu I am using. You need to find it on your own."

'Oh, dear.' Naruto gulped in anticipation.

Kushina took his hands into hers again and placed them on either side of her waist. "Go on, try it."

Naruto took a deep breath and stepped closer to her. His hands slowly traced every inch of her smooth skin until they stopped at her elbows. "Here?"

"Good," Kushina whispered into his ear. "Next."

Naruto's hands slid down until they were back on her slim waist. Gathering his courage, his hands moved upwards until they rested on her breasts. Even though he could feel no build up of chakra beneath his palms, he pressed her palms into her boobs and gave them a light squeeze. "Not here, then."

Kushina gave a low moan, followed by a light chuckle to cover it. He released his grip on her breasts and moved down his hands until they rested on her belly button. He inserted a finger into it and tickled her, eliciting a musicalgiggle out of her mouth. "Here?"

"Yes," Kushina's voice already revealed hints of her arousal. "Next."

Naruto slid even closer until their bodies were touching each other. He wrapped her hands around her waist and caressed her back. Kushina placed her head on his shoulder and bit his collarbone while he made his attempts. Naruto's only reaction to her bite was a slight hiss that echoed out of his mouth. In retaliation, he moved his hands to her ass and rested his palms on either butt cheeks. Pulling their hips closer by her ass, he gave her butt cheeks a tightsqueeze. She slammed her nether regions into his erection as she jerked her hips in pleasure. "Not here?"

"Naru-chan, you pervert," Kushina moaned in his ear. "You can't go down."

"O-oh,"Naruto stuttered in embarrassment. "Y-you never s-said that!"

"I didn't, did I?" Kushina asked rhetorically after noticing that he still didn'ttake his hands off her ass. "Okay, I can take it off-limits if you want..."

"It's fine," Naruto said as he moved his hands back to her waist.

Kushina pouted in disappointment and bit him on the collarbone again. Naruto winced this time and clutched her waist firmly until he left his hand prints on them. "Ow! Stop biting me, Kaa-chan!"

"You started it first," Kushina pointed at the still unhealed bite-mark on her shoulder. As a jinchuuriki, she could heal it whenever she wanted but damn if it wasn't good blackmail material. "And you did it somanytimes that day..."

Naruto's erection jerked in his pants at the reminder of his failed attempt at seduction. Her bite-mark looked like it was healing already and he didn't likeit at all. Involuntarily, he moved his lips to the pale-pink mark and sucked on it until it was an angry red color again. Kushina's eyes rolled into the back of her head as he suckedon that single part again and again. He dragged his teeth along the edges of the mark until it looked as fresh as new. There, the only blemish on her flawlessbody was made by him; It made him feel inexplicably proud for some reason.

"You are so mean, Naru-chan," Kushina mumbled with a pout on her kissable lips.

"Sorry," Naruto said but his tone conveyed something opposite. He wasn't sorry at all for marking her and she could hear it in his tone clearly.

He removed his hands off her waist and stepped back until there was a foot distance between them. But it seemed like Kushina wasn't satisfied with the progressthey made. She dug a finger into the waistband of his pants and pulled him close. "Who said we are done?"

Naruto looked at the finger that was still resting insidehis pants and shifted his gaze to meet hers. "I am sorry...Sensei."

He took out the mental list of things he would do in the future and crossed out the 'Finding a teacher' part thoroughly.

Author's Note: It seems like I would never be able to end the chapter where I want to. I make a list of things I want to write in the next chapter and cross the word limit before I write it all. For someone who writes about a character who keeps on removing things off his list, I believe that is to be expected.

Well, How is it?
