It seemed like forever since the Konoha 12 had all gotten together for a day of fun and relaxation seeing as they were the elite military unit under the Sole command of the Hokage they hardly ever got time to all come together always busy with either training or missions, Finally The whole of The Konoha 12 and their significant others had gotten enough time to be together all at once and were gathered atop a hill on of Konoha`s hill so aptly named Friendship Hill.
It was quite a shin ding with Chouji bringing the food and Kiba bringing the sake, and Naruto and Lee bringing the ambience. The girls were In charge of the picnic stuff. What a scene it was with everyone separated in their little groups Lee and Naruto having a friendly taijutsu match, Chouji and Kiba cracking jokes, Shino and Shikamaru playing shougi. Soon however it was time for lunch and everyone settled down. Sakura sat down next to Hinata and said, "Hey Hinata Is that Naruto baka taking good care of you?"
"Of course he is, what makes you think he wouldn't?" asked Hinata crossly
"Of course I am what do you think I wouldn't take care of my girl?" asked Naruto sliding next to Hinata and kissing her.
"Naruto"! Ino exclaimed loudly
"Oh come on Ino why are you surprised don't act like Chouji never kisses you" said Kiba jokingly
"Well of course he does but..."
"Oh come on Ino let them be," Chouji said you know in fact those lips of yours look pretty inviting to me" Chouji said devilishly "Oh is that so my big teddy bear well why you don't accept the invitation" asked Ino giggling "Gladly" Chouji said and moved forward to kiss her.
Shikamaru suddenly said "hey guys It's a drag coming here"
"Hey lazy bum why don't you shaddup you're a Jonin you can't afford to be a lazy bum anymore" Temari told her boyfriend who was resting his head on her lap.
"Well maybe if I had some Inspiration" Shikamaru said looking up from Temari's lap
"Oh god is that all that runs through your mind nowadays kissing me" asked Temari somewhat angrily
"No, that's not all" he said looking at her well endowed chest
"Hey stop that you lecher... "*Sigh* fine come here"
Shikamaru eagerly came up to meet her lips and sighed in contentment as she kissed him fully on the lips.
"Hey, Temari I have known Shikamaru my whole life and even though this guy is the smartest cookie of all of us gathered here all he has to say is "what a drag" don't you think you would be better with a stud like me" said Kiba with a grin on his face.
"What was that you said Kiba honey" said a voice from behind
"I would hate to tell The Den Mother of the Inuzuka Clan that her only son and the next head of the clan were acting like a dog in heat in front of a foreign kunoichi."
""You wouldn't dare Izumi" said Kiba horrified at the thought of what his mother would do to him if she found out." "Wouldn't I?" Izumi asked with a sadistic smile on her face.
Izumi like her boyfriend was a member of the Inuzuka clan and had fang like markings on her cheeks, however unlike Kiba she had a softer appearance though she did have extended canines she wore her soft smooth hair in a pigtailed fashion and like most female members of the Inuzuka clan she was also well endowed.
Izumi turned to Sai and Shino and said "Shima and Yue are coming just now guys they just went home for a change of clothes."
"Hey where are Yasutora and Akamaru" Kiba asked Referring to his and Izumi's canine partners, "Oh they are with the Den Mother they are helping her train the new pups." Izumi replied "Oh ok, that's fine then anyway come here, let me introduce to my friends" Kiba told his girlfriend.
Kiba turned to his friends and said "hey guys I want to introduce you to my girlfriend Izumi she is a special Jonin and is my sister Hanna's apprentice." After introductions were made Ino always hungry for gossip asked "so Izumi tell me your story of how you guys met and fell in love?"
"Well, since I am Hana sensei's apprentice we actually saw each other pretty often and although at first I was put off by his constant flirting which I imagine you have all been a victim of?"
All the girls nodded. "Well, eventually I just got used to it and we became friends, though he still kept on trying to ask me out and I kept refusing but one day he came back from a mission and both he and Akamaru had gotten badly injured in a fight though Kiba had some deep wounds but nothing life threatening, but Akamaru had some near Fatal injuries."
"Kiba had ran for 50Km nonstop with deep wounds himself carrying Akamaru all the way home on his back and when he reached home he refused to leave Akamaru alone before knowing he was alright, while he himself was suffering from blood loss, the doctors had to knock him out and then take him to the operating room to heal him."
The others nodded thoughtfully as they all knew Kiba loved his dog dearly
"Thankfully thanks to Hana sensei and my efforts we were able to heal and stabilize Akamaru, after they were both stabilized and regained conscious, Kiba with tears in his eyes thanked both me and Hana sensei." "When Hana sensei told him that if it wasn't for my help Akamaru would have died, Kiba still heavily wounded literally got down on his knees and literally bowed deeply to me."
"I was shocked to say the least because Kiba was one of the Inuzuka clan's pack leaders and its next heir not to mention one of the members of the Konoha 12: The Elite Military Unit solely under the Hokage's control. It was then that I fell in love with him."
"After that though Kiba was still friendly towards me he never again flirted with me or asked me out on dates, so I was confused and asked Hana sensei about it but all she told me was that Kiba was a man of honor and did not wish to offend me."
"I didn't understand her properly so Hana sensei told me to ask him myself so I went out looking for him and found him sitting under a tree playing with Akamaru," I went up to him and asked him why he wasn't asking me out on dates or flirting with me or even making sexual comments about me, his answer greatly surprised me."
"He said that he had always liked me and thus always flirted with me, but after that time when I healed his partner, he said he owed me a debt of gratitude and had made up his mind to remain friends with me and not harass me anymore so as to repay his debt to me," "I then did something that surprised even me I punched him in the gut and then kissed him on the lips and hugged him tightly then asked him out on a date, at first he was a bit reluctant but eventually he agreed and one thing led to another and we found ourselves in love" she said
All the girls had tears in their eyes after having heard the story. "Not to mention the sex is great" said Kiba with a grin on his face and pulling Izumi onto his lap, causing Naruto and Lee to fall down laughing with Naruto saying Dattebayo!
"No, but seriously speaking guys I really love my girl she kind of smoothed out my rough edges you know what I mean" he said. The guys nodded their heads in agreement and understanding.
Just then Shima and Yue arrived and sat next to their boyfriends.
Shima was a tall girl at 5'9 though not much could be seen of her face or body due to her wearing the typical long hooded jackets all Aburame clan members wore. Yue meanwhile had black eyes and green hair and was wearing the standard Jonin flak jacket over her long hooded jacket, she was a tall pale looking girl with a descent figure, and like Sai mostly wore a neutral expression.
After introductions and greeting were made and exchanged the girls were each asked to tell everyone about how they met.
Shima went first, unlike Shino she was a bit more talkative and showed a little more emotion but otherwise she acted just like Shino, " I was in the forest one day collecting some insects when I came across a certain insect that I had not seen before and tried to capture it but was unsuccessful, but Shino was nearby and heard me voice my frustration, so he came over to me and helped me capture it, after that we walked around the forest together talking with each other we soon became fast friends, after a while Shino told me he liked me and would like to ask me out on a date and the rest is history."
"I heard from my mom that there was a stink made about your relationship a while back" said Kiba
"Not exactly Kiba" said Shino "me and Shima were of different branch families for a lack of a better term and as a result there were a few disagreements amongst the parties involved but eventually the problem was resolved with the help of the Hokage" said Shino.
"Please don't repeat this information to anyone" said Shima "it is technically a clan matter and thus is a secret, Shino-kun considers you his comrade that is why he told you of our secret."
"Everyone nodded their agreement."
Next it was Yue's turn to tell her tale who because of her background narrated the tale in a businesslike tone
"Well, we were usually put on the same team for missions and all and to tell you the truth at first I thought he was gay what with his weird clothes and talk of penises all the time, but one day on a mission I saw him sitting outside painting a picture of the sunset so I was fascinated by the fact that he had so many paintings but never named or signed any of them and as I always had great appreciation for art, we became fast friends and soon started spending a lot of time together and then one day when we were on a mission" Sai saved me by blocking me with his body while he took a Shuriken in the back."
"Later when I asked him why he saved me, he said that I was his friend because unlike the rest of his Anbu colleagues I did not hold the fact that he was former Anbu root agent against him mainly because I was myself a former root ninja but I had been able to fit in better." I was thankful and so to show my thanks I offered to help him fit in better and over the next few weeks got to know him better and after that we soon became good friends."
"So I assume that the fact that your new outfit is thanks to Yue and not you right" Sakura asked her teammate, seeing as how Sai was wearing the typical Jonin flak jacket and uniform.
"Well yes, Yue said that if I dress more like a Konoha shinobi it would be better for my image, but I must say it really worked out well for us especially since we are both Anbu we don't have much time to pursue a real relationship so with both of us dating each other we get to have sex on a more regular basis with no strings attached which helps with our stress levels" said Sai in a frank voice.
The conversation was interrupted by Shino suddenly pointing out "Hey Sakura your boyfriend Lee has gotten drunk again."
"Oh no that boy he is hopeless" said Sakura, "It seems we are doomed until the effects wear off" said Sai giving up all hope
"Not so Sai watch" the pink haired kunoichi said. "Hey Lee come here and give me a kiss sweetie."
Lee in a drunken state says "eh Sakura *hic* chan you want a kiss coming *hic* right up" he said going over to Sakura who then proceeds to kiss him passionately on the lips with her hand on his chest
"Huh what happened?" Asked Lee coming out of his drunken stupor?
"Whoa how'd you do that Sakura" asked Ino amazed "oh just a simple healing technique I developed. By kissing him I touched his heart and added some of my healing chakra to control the chakra that the alcohol caused to his chakra I then used my chakra to speed up his liver functions which helped burn off the alcohol" said Sakura
"Hey Lee, Tenten I heard you guys just came back from some special training" said Shikamaru.
Lee went first having recovered from his drunken stupor: "Yosh! You are right Shikamaru I recently participated In a Taijutsu competition held by the Fire Daimyo for Charity, and since Gai sensei was away on a Mission I was selected to represent Konoha in The competition by the Hokage. So during the final competition I was bested by a ninja Monk named Sora from the Fire Temple and although the match was honorable and mostly for Charity."
"The Hokage decided that I could further develop my Taijutsu skills and at the same time Sora would also be able to benefit from Guy sensei's Taijutsu Training and so the Hokage, Daimyo and the Head Monk of the Fire Temple decided this would also give the two powers of The Fire Nation under the Fire Daimyo a chance to better their relations, and so it was then decided that within a week both of us would leave to train with each other's masters and home to further our skills in Taijutsu for two years."
"I soon progressed enough to earn a position on the Daimyo's coveted 12 Guardian Ninja however I declined as I did not wish to leave Konoha and my friends and especially Sakura Chan whom I had finally won" Lee said clutching Sakura's hand and kissing her on the lips which Sakura enthusiastically returned.
"So I declined the offer, however as proof of my training at The Fire Temple and my selection in the 12 Guardian Ninja I was presented with the sash which I proudly wear around my waist," said Lee pointing to the slash around his waist. "Thus my friends I have only returned back from my training last week."
Naruto interrupted Lee his head in Hinata's lap while she gently ran her fingers through his hair saying: "Yeah, I heard about it when I came back from the Toad Valley last week from what I understand Sora was also offered a chance to become a Konoha shinobi by Tsunade baa-chan, which he declined."
Lee nodded his head and continued his story and said "Yes, Naruto Kun you are correct Sora was offered the Rank of Chunin as a leaf Ninja however like me he also refused to leave his home, although the Hokage respected his decision Tsunade sama gave him a leaf Hitai-ate and a Chunin vest as proof of his training in Konoha under Gai sensei"
"When I finally returned To Konoha and after seeing my new skills the Hokage was impressed and bestowed upon me the honor as the official Liaison between The Fire Temple and Konoha." "I am told Sora was offered the same position upon his return and he has also since earned a position within the ranks of the 12 Guardian Ninja Squad.
It was then Tenten's turn to tell her tale: Tenten lifted her head from Neji's lap only to seat herself In Neji's lap with Neji hugging her slender hips and gently kissing her neck, Tenten started her tale: "my story is not long like Lee's over there she said pointing towards her teammate, you guys all know my dad Takashi's weapons shop The Twin Rising Dragon right?" Everyone nodded it was one of the most popular weapons shop not only in Konoha but in the Fire Country it was known for good quality products at a reasonable rate.
"Well, what you don't know is that my father was a former weapons smith in the Iron country but was wounded during the 3rd shinobi War and as a result could not return to iron country due to the Weather making his wounds ache so he settled down in Konoha after informing both the 3rd Hokage and the Iron country of his intentions."
"Well about one year back he got a message from the Land of Iron one of his old friends had recently passed away and it seemed that he was quite rich as well since he left dad quite a sizable amount of money as well. He also left him the responsibility of his two sons Takeshi and Sentoshi, whom he wanted to become Dad's apprentices, however dad was a bit hesitant and unsure about it all seeing as it was a long time since he had any contact with his former homeland, so he went to the Hokage to ask her for advice and inform her of this issue."
After eating some food from Neji's hands she continued and said "well The Hokage was also a bit concerned about it so she told Dad that Master Mifune The leader of the Land of Iron was coming to discuss some important trade matters with her. However she was surprised when dad told her he knew Master Mifune very well because his father was like a brother to him and that he was the one that carved Master Mifune's very first blade, so Tsunade Sama suggested that dad send a messenger to Master Mifune san to bring along the two boys with him."
"So anyway, when Master Mifune finally arrived he met my dad with great respect and fondness and after much debate The Hokage finally suggested that in order to better relations with The Land of Iron my father would personally train the sons of his late friend and after they had learned all they could from him and were blacksmith masters themselves, they would return to The land of Iron and open a Blacksmith Shop."
"There was another condition also agreed upon that the amount of money that had been Left to them by their father would be placed in a trust until such time that they were Masters themselves and they could then use that money to open their own shop In time, while they studied under my father he would offer them our home as lodgings and My father would pay them 500 ryou each per month as salary."
"In exchange for all this The Hokage suggested to my dad and Master Mifune that I accompany Master Mifune to The land of Iron and become his apprentice." "Master Mifune agreed to this fact but on the condition that of course no secrets that were to be shared would be misused by either side." Master Mifune also said that while I trained with him that I don't use my chakra and ninja techniques and to ensure that I don't cheat Master Mifune made me wear the typical samurai armor which restricted its wearer from using their chakra."
"The Hokage and Dad both agreed to that and after making a blood oath they told me about it they told me it was a voluntary assignment which I could refuse but knowing that I could learn a lot of things from the old samurai."
"Not to mention that it would help improve relation between our two nations I quickly agreed and it was decided that I would become an apprentice to Master Mifune for the period of one year where he would teach me many things and while there I would be earning 250 ryou per month, while being housed at Master Mifune's home."
"When the 12 months were up I returned To Konoha stronger and better able to protect my friends and teammates. When I was summoned to the Hokage's office two weeks back to submit my report on my time spent there I was told that Master Mifune had requested Tsunade sama to appoint me as the official Liaison between Konoha and The Iron Country, it seemed that while I was there Master Mifune had come to love me as a favored niece and thus wanted me to be the Liaison thus he would get to see me more often."
"I just returned two weeks back and have been resting, damn I have to say Guy sensei's training sessions seem like a children's playground compared to the training Master Mifune made me go through."
She looked at Lee and said "hey Lee I never realized how hard you and Neji have to work on your Taijutsu to be at the level you are at now especially when you can't knead your chakra to help you use Ninjutsu techniques she got up and kissed Lee on the cheek and said "I'm sorry I ever made fun of your training session Lee-kun." Lee simply smiled and rubbed his cheek where Tenten had kissed him and said "worry not Tenten I am simply glad you understand better now as it will only help make our teamwork better"
Neji called out from behind and said "Hey Tenten what about my apology" asked Neji slightly hurt. He was surprised at the impish expression and reply he got back from his beloved. Tenten turned back to him and said "oh don't worry Neji darling I plan to apologize to you properly tonight infact I plan on apologizing to you all night long."
"I want to see what new skills you have learnt in the Anbu." Tenten said with an evil smile on her face, which caused everyone to laugh loudly as they all understood as to what Tenten was referring to. Neji straightened his back and said "well then if that's the case sweetheart be ready for a very long night." This caused another round of laughter from everyone present.
"So, Kiba and Chouji will your Genin teams be participating in the Chunin exams" asked Naruto
"Yes, both our teams will be competing" said Chouji proudly
"So Naruto what about your Genin team" Kiba ever so curiously asked
"You have a Genin team" Neji asked Naruto surprised
Shino also leaned in interested in the topic.
"Oh yeah, the Konohamaru Corps is my Genin team I forgot you didn't know about It seeing as how you and Shino were off on an undercover mission for 12 months in the Land of Earth."
"It happened early during the Genin selection teams after Ebisu was transferred to the Anbu Academy to take up a teaching post. Tsunade Baa-chan was looking for a good Jonin for them seeing as how Konohamaru was the Third`s grandson and that It might attract the wrong sort of attention by some of the wrong people If you know what I mean?"
"Yes, quite the grandson of the third Hokage could very well be a good target for the enemies of Konoha" said Shino wisely
"Exactly, so well she wanted someone they could relate to and respect and knew as well, while at the same time being reliable and strong so after discussing it with Ebisu, he surprisingly recommended me and that's the story of how I ended with Team 2: The Konohamaru Corps"
"That's good it will be interesting to see how they fare" said Neji evenly
"Yes, it really was nice of Tsunade-Sama to let us all see the Chunin exams as a favor to us: the Konoha 12" said Rock Lee
"Yes, well from what I hear Lee It's not only because of that it seems that she wants us to see and measure their strength and potential" said Sakura
"Yes, and who better than us Konoha 12 to judge the new recruits" said Tenten
"I also heard from Shizune senpai that according to our recommendations Hokage-Sama will decide on their advancement to Chunin and their future assignments." said Tenten playing with a kunai from Neji`s lap.
"Hey Ino, Sakura I just remembered I need some help with some of my new weapons I have made, can you two give me a hand?"
Ino and Sakura looked at each other and nodded and said "sure no problems Tenten we will meet you later at the training area."
Naruto called out To Tenten and said "Hey Tenten you mind if I come along as well I want to consult with you on a new Jutsu I have thought of."
"Yeah, sure no problem Naruto why don't you accompany Ino and Sakura to the training field"
"Hey Neji baby I'm parched how about a kiss to quench my thirst" said Tenten provocatively.
"Whatever you want beautiful" said Neji romantically.
And so it went on with all of the Konoha 12 relaxing and having fun.
Not realizing of the dangers that lied ahead.
