fictionelement777: You welcome and I hope you enjoy this new chapter of mine!
wrightdylen21: Your welcome xD
SPark681: She sure did xD. It was my pleasure too to write such a strange and yet hot scene of reality bending demon raping a human, if I can be honest.
thor94: Thanks! I mean, Ido was a demon. so, I didn't want to write a normal sex scene if I can help it/hahaha, he might get one or two if his girls were angry enough and decided that enough is enough. but for now, there'd be no such thing, I'm sorry xD.
Ammad Sarani: Your welcome, and yes, it will continue for some time. it might have a hiccup here and there, but I really intend to finish this story.
Neo Infinity: Of course, I mean... even I almost forgot about it too LOL. XD
shirousagi87: Yes, it was a sad experience for Naruto too. Alas, in life, you cannot save everyone even if you wanted too. slowly but surely, Naruto will become more mature as life give him choices. Life isn't a shining rainbow, after all. And I intend to convey it in this story of mine.
Guest: Yes, of course she does xD. And yeah, she's one that I'll put in the harem. though of course, just like the others, it'll be a little bit slow.
DARK SHADOW 1407: Hahaha, of course, of course. sorry to make you wait.

Chapter 26, First Stop
XXX XXX (Start) XXX XXX
Naruto got caught… again.
Because Ido fucked him without using any technique whatsoever, she succeed to last longer. Unfortunately, by the time she's done, the others has already returned.
And oh boy… They're not happy.
But still…
"This is stupid…"
hanging on the air, Naruto's blank stare went to Luka who patted her own palm for a few times after she tied him up.
Unlike usual, he's not tied with fabric or anything similar, no.
He's actually currently hanging on the air by several powerful steel threads that'd easily dug into his flesh if he gave them a smallest hint of pressure.
It was Cat's…
"No, my dear. It was us who was being stupid and left you alone with Ido… you and your silver tongue are dangerous"
Luka said with a roll of her eyes.
But…
Yakumo was angry.
Well… Yakumo's anger was mostly seen from the cold permeating the air when she narrowed her eyes. And no... she wasn't angry at him, but at Ido. Nonetheless, Ido kept her silent and didn't tell any of them the reason for her desertion to their cause.
And then the demoness just disappears… back into the heiress's body, he presumed.
"…"
Here, Naruto rolled his eyes.
Did he really have to talk to his lovers one by one until they stop by their own free will? But then again, Ido, the one who can seal his power won't be a problem anymore.
"I just told Ido that I wish to spend some of my times doing the things I wished to be back when I was a child. And no… I never planned to leave any of you girls"
His dreamed to became a shinobi.
Why…?
It simple, really. It because he wanted to save a country, a princess, and defeat a tyrant. A rather childish dream, one might say, but nonetheless… they truly came from his heart.
To be a Hokage?
That's just a wish born from his wish to be recognized.
He already got it… and with a simple 'yes', that large hat could be his too. To become the successor of his own father.
… Not something he wished to think about at the moment, though.
"Still no. and I will no longer take my eyes off of you"
Smack!
"Ouch!"
Thus, Naruto yelped when Luka walked to his backside and slapped his buttock.
That's really stung!
Unfortunately for him, Luka doesn't seem to care enough about his pain because when he turned his head around as slowly as possible, the teen's already holding a something.
Uuh… he doesn't know what it was called.
But it was made of leather, black, and basically a sex toy to smack someone's butts.
Seeing such a thing, Naruto realized that the toy must be Kurenai's. with her being the kinkiest and all…
"Luka… for the love of gods, I'll be upset if yo-mgghh!"
Naruto didn't get any time to finish his words because with a signal of her hand, Luka told Kurenai to do something.
Red, thick, and rather large ball-gag was stuffed into his mouth rather roughly by his black-haired stalking, beautiful girlfriend before his words can even finish, the straps locked at the back of his head to secure the toy's position.
"Mghhrrrgh!"
Like a rabid dog, Naruto shook his head roughly only to no avail.
The gag has already locked in position…
"Ufufu~ I really don't want to do this too, my love…" gently, Kurenai who's in front of him cupped his cheeks with both hands and stopped his little tantrum, her thumbs caressing his face with nothing but love. But Naruto only need to see her ragging breath, her reddening cheeks, and lust-filled eyes to know that she's actually enjoying the situation "… But Luka is right. You've been a naughty boy. And it seems we need to punish you"
"…"
Just as Naruto wanted to shake his head like before, Kurenai already wrapped her arms around his little head and pulled it deep into her cleavage, silencing any sound and movement he intended to make.
"Mnn~ I got his head now, Luka. You can start and spank him now. I'll make sure that he won't make any stupid movement"
Kurenai's enjoying this.
Luka, Cat, and Yakumo can easily see this.
Nonetheless, Luka nodded and slapped her own palm a few times after Cat cut Naruto's pants into pieces with a quick movement of her blade, freeing his bare butt for everyone to see.
Once Naruto's bare butt can be seen, the pinkette took a small inhale and exhale…
"This is going to pain me just as it pains you, my dear. But I hope you know that this is all your own fault"
Smack!
"Mggh!"
Smack!
"Mhhmn!"
Smack! Smack! Smack!
And thus, for the first time on his life, Naruto got himself spanked by his own girls. With Luka, Cat, and Yakumo taking turn to spank him.
Kurenai…?
She's consent with her position, smothering her own boyfriend with her breasts where he can only let out muffled scream every time the leather hit his bare buttock.
-Later-
"… Don't touch me"
Came a sulking voice from Naruto who's currently on Yakumo's bed once again, face down.
Of course, his words were said to Luka who just now wanted to apply an ointment to his still bare buttock, stopping her in her place. Not only that, Naruto actually turned his head a little and gave her a pair of stink eyes.
He's not really angry, of course. But he still doesn't like the fact that he just got spanked more than a hundred times by his own girlfriends.
Yes, it was painful, but with Kurenai's bountiful breasts on his face…?
He'd do it again if someone were to ask.
"Dear, seriously…? You're still thinking of saving countries and whatnot?"
Luka said with furrowed eyebrows.
She can see it when her darling isn't that angry and just being a tsundere, and thus, she merely lay her body beside him and gave him a small peck on his lips when she saw his adorable stink eyes, which turned his stink eyes into a pout.
"Of course. I mean, you think I'll stop just because you and the others spanked me?"
No… of course not, Luka thought bitterly inside her mind.
For all intent, Naruto's will was not something that can be broken with something as simple as spanks, one hundred times or not. If there's one thing she knew about him, it was the fact that when he decided to do something, nothing on this world can stop him from doing it.
He's like a bull in that regard…
Unfortunately for her, Cat and Yakumo realized this already and decided to give up trying to make Naruto see 'reasons', knowing it'd be a futile attempt.
They still spanked him till the end, though.
Gave up or not, hearing Naruto's muffled scream of pain was a pleasure they'd rarely get. And thus, they spanked him till the end.
And honestly… I also don't have anymore idea to stop him'
Luka said to herself as she gently embraced her darling. All the while ignoring his 'ouch, please be gentle' and all, knowing his pain endurance was more than strong enough to handle a small flare of pain.
"Oh, love. You're so difficult"
Naruto stopped his playful struggle when his girlfriend cooed at him while caressing the back of his head. All the while whispering sweet nothing into his ear.
Huh…?
What's with Luka now? First, she was angry at him. Then she spanked him. but now she's acting all lovey-dovey with him.
Geez… she's so complicated.
And she dared to call him tsun tsun or whatever it was?
Oh well…
Luka has changed her mind. That alone is a plus in his book. And also, he might be a little bit guessing here, but from the fact Yakumo and Cat also went out right after they spanked him, they probably also gave up.
Looked up, Naruto try to make sure…
[Luka Haruno -Disowned-]
[Friendship: 90%]
[Lust: 50%]
Feeling: Know that she cannot change her boyfriend's mind no matter what.
… Oh, okay?
That's good, right?
"Well… uh… I'm sorry for being difficulty, Luka"
Naruto said after a few seconds of thinking, not knowing what to say except for that. For all intent, even if he can still feel what's going on with his body when he sleeps, it doesn't mean his girlfriends would be happy about it.
That's why he's not telling anyone about that single perk of his.
Yakumo and Ido already knew… but they seem consent on keeping their mouth shut.
"It's alright dear… as much it pains me to say this, your hardheadness is one of your endearing points"
Luka said softly into the crook of his neck, giving kisses on the area in question.
Knew where she was going with her soft and gentle ministration, Naruto's cheeks bloomed with pink. More so when Luka's hands slipped under his shirt and starting to molest his back without any shame whatsoever.
"L-Luka… I'm…"
Tired… was the word he wanted to say.
He just had sex with Ido not too long ago, and then followed by another round of sex with the same demoness. But when he woke up, he got caught by his girls, where they started to spanks his butt.
He still had some stamina, of course. Nonetheless, he's still tad tired from everything and would be more than happy to get some rest.
Luka doesn't care…
"Ssssh~…" The teen's palm clasped on Naruto's mouth and nose before he can finish his words, gagging him using her soft hand. All the while, her lips trailed up until they're right beside his ear, whispering sweet words that she knew would make him a mewling mess under her"… I don't want to hear anything, alright? You. Me. Now~"
And thus, Naruto literally got himself fucked … again.
.
..
-Later-
"So… what's your plan, dear?"
Sat in the living room, Naruto's eyes went to everyone else, namely Yakumo, Kurenai, Cat, and his officially known girlfriend, Luka.
And the one who said that just now was Yakumo, with the heiress in question ignoring Luka's stink eyes after she called Naruto with a 'dear' call.
"Well… for one, I think it'd be nice for everyone if I went with Luka to get Tsunade Senju. Maybe… just maybe, she could heal or just fasten my coma"
They all nodded at the same time here. Happiness can be seen in their eyes as hope fills their hearts.
Hope for their boyfriend's fast recovery.
Of course, Naruto ignored Luka who keep saying 'so that's what I forgot' or something like that.
"I see… but why didn't you tell us sooner, Naruto? We'd be more than happy enough to let you free if you were to tell us that instead of saving countries and princess"
Came the naturally calm voice of Kurenai. One of her eyebrows raised a little when she asked this question of hers toward her boyfriend.
Her words followed by another round of nod from the others.
And here, Naruto let out a bashful smile as he scratched the back of his head…
"W-Well… I did think about it. But I decided that I don't think Tsunade can help me. Plus, my intent is to save countries, first and foremost. Getting Tsunade back to Konoha is a secondary mission for me. So… I didn't want to lie to any of you, that's why I said I want to save countries and princesses before anything else"
But then again, he didn't get anytime to say anything else because his girlfriends already ganged up on him to knock him up with a chloroformed cloth to the face.
So… yeah, he didn't get any chance to say anything else.
Not going to say this, though.
"…"
Fortunately for him, he didn't need to because at the same time, all of his girls' faces began to get red in embarrassment, they probably realized how they were far too quick to take a conclusion about him.
Well… good for him.
But then again, he didn't mind about it.
Any normal, hot-blooded male will say the same thing if they were kidnapped by four very gorgeous women.
"I-I see… then what'd you do after you get Tsunade-sama back to Konoha?"
This time, Luka was the one who spoke. Seemingly not wanting to be seen in a losing side in this small argument of them.
Here, Naruto tapped the desk a few times.
"Considering how all of you very adamant to keep me stay, how about a promise? I will only do one mission per month, no more and no less than that"
Naruto felt bad.
Sure, he didn't show it that much. But he actually feels pretty bad that he made his girls panic enough that they decided to kidnap him.
And thus, here he is, showing all of his cards without hiding anything.
Alas, he forgot that just like him, his girls also had some experience when it comes to negotiation.
"Two of us each mission. And we will be the one who decide the two who you'll bring. And of course, me and Ido will be counted as one"
This time, the words came from Yakumo who's giving him a poker face. Her hands folded in front of her chest as if to say 'you won't change my mind about this'. And this sight made Naruto raised his arms with a small smile on his face.
Here he was going to say that as long that they're free and willing, they can go with him on the mission.
Oh well… their loss.
"Deal"
Naruto said as he stood, hands inside his pockets.
And knowing what he wanted, or where he's going to, Luka followed suit and gently wrapped her arms around his neck from behind with her breasts on top of his head. All the while, she's smirking smugly at the other three.
An action that made them popped an angry vein on each forehead.
"See you all later, girls"
Flash!
And with that as his last words, Naruto disappeared with a red flash.
Left behind, Yakumo, Kurenai and Cat glanced at each other for a few seconds.
"…"
They know what to say.
"Luka won't go on Naruto's first mission"
.
..
..
With Naruto himself, he and Luka appeared in the middle of a bar with a red flash. And the first thing they saw was Jiraiya himself, face plopped on the desk while a woman in black kimono tending him.
"Y-You… who are you?"
The woman turned stiff, probably because of his flashy entrance, but Naruto merely gave the screen on top of her head a small look before he answered her question.
[Shizune Kato]
[Friendship: 5%]
[Lust: 30%]
"Uh, sorry if I startled you… my name is Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki. Are you Tsunade Senju by any chance? I'm here to help the pervert to track her"
Naruto said, acting as if he didn't know that the woman in front of him isn't Tsunade.
Fortunately, Shizune seems to buy his words as her body began to relax. Though on her face, a telltale of blush began to creep and just like a pervert, she began to ogle his body up and down.
She shook this off within a few seconds, embarrassment in her eyes.
"A-Ah, I see. And no, my name is Shizune, I'm Tsunade-sama's apprentice. If I may ask, why do you wish to find her, Uzumaki-san? From what Jiraiya-san have said, it seems you're already well and voted to be the next Hokage, yes? So, I'm rather curious about your reason… and please, take a seat and order something, I'll pay for it"
Naruto let out a small blush as a jealous Luka grabbed his butt and gave it a small squeeze. She probably saw how Shizune ogling his body just a few seconds ago and currently trying to get closer to him by buying him a drink or two.
And of course, before he can say something, Luka took a step forward…
"There's no need. I'll pay for his order"
In jealousy, Luka grabbed him by hand and pushed into the stool a few stools away from Shizune, with her taking a seat between the two.
As this happen, Naruto merely smiled in amusement.
Luka's just too adorable…
"… I see"
For a small second, Shizune had this small frown on her face. But nonetheless, her neutral face return not long after. Her hands no longer tending Jiraiya, probably finished with everything she needed to do.
"Sir, a glass of warm milk and a bowl of beef black pepper, please"
Naruto said to the bartender, hoping that the bar had what he want.
Fortunately, it seems they do as the man gave him a small nod and went to the kitchen for a few seconds, probably to tell the cooks his order.
All the while, some of the patrons laughed at him. probably because he ordered a glass of warm milk instead of an alcoholic drink in a bar of all place.
Not that he cares about them, in the first place.
"…"
"I'm thirteen, so I'm still underage to drink"
Naruto said to Shizune who had a confusion in her expression, which got him a nod from the woman who ordered a cup of sake to drink.
"Understood. I thought you had some kind of condition which makes you look young. After all, while pretty rare, it's not that strange to a medic like me"
Shizune said to him with a small, sultry smile.
Luka leaned her shoulders forward here, hiding Naruto from the woman's sight before he can answer. Which got her a growl of annoyance from the woman in question.
Naruto merely let out a small smile here.
"Yeah, I saw someone who had that condition too…" Yagura Karatachi, but he's not going to say the man's name in the middle of a bar "… anyway, I'm curious. Where's Senju-san? I thought with you and the pervert here, she's not far"
Agreeing with what he said, Shizune nodded.
"Yes, Tsunade-sama and Jiraiya-sama had hangovers last night. If I can take a guess, she should be awake soon"
Not long after Shizune spoke, a blonde came down from upstairs while holding the side of her head. And as if she wasn't watching her surrounding, the woman took the seat right beside Naruto with her breasts on the counter.
And Naruto… he can't turn away his eyes from them.
The size. The weight. And the plumpness.
As the counter let out a small, creaking sound from the obvious weight of two massive milk jugs, Naruto gulped down his saliva.
And here he thought the large breasts Ido conjured with her illusion was not something a human could have.
Darkness took over his sight as Luka's warm palm covered his eyes, obviously not liking the fact her boyfriend was staring at another woman. And before he can struggle, her free arm wrapped around his waist and pulled him unto her lap, where she secured his position.
That… and her cold voice…
"Naruto…"
"S-Sorry"
Know where he was at fault, Naruto apologize. At the same time also stopped his small struggle.
For the answer, Luka didn't say anything. Nonetheless, her arms squeezed him a little, as if to say 'okay, I'll forgive you this time' to him.
And as Naruto and Luka snuggled with each other, Shizune stood and took the seat beside the newly arrived blonde and start to tend the woman's hangover.
And it was here, she spoke…
"Uzumaki-san, this person is Tsunade Senju. And Tsunade-sama, the boy beside you is Naruto Uzumaki-san. He said he wish to talk with you"
As Shizune introduce the two, Luka was forced to uncover Naruto's eyes so she won't be seen as rude in front of one of the sannin.
And when Tsunade turned her stool and Naruto stare at the woman's face, the two went silent.
He doesn't know what's on the woman's head, but for Naruto, he found himself questioning whether the blonde in front of him is really Tsunade Senju or not.
After all, jiraiya is a pervert and already old.
So, there's simply no way the gorgeous woman in front of him was the Tsunade Senju, with her should be as old as Jiraiya himself.
"You…"
Alas, Naruto can only blink several times when suddenly, the woman in front of him narrowed her eyes in anger. And on top of her head, her friendship with him became lower and lower.
.
..
BAM!
And when said friendship hit minus 100, Tsunade punched him… hard.
… the bar shook with that single action.
-With Tsunade-
Orochimaru…
Oh, how she always hates that snake bastard.
Power hungry. God-complex, etc, etc.
There's simply so many reasons for her to hate that stupid that single former teammate of hers. And her hatred raised considerably when the man in question came to her with an offer.
Offer to resurrect her little brother and former lover.
Of course, at first, she was speechless. In her heart, a sign of hope and happiness had been present in her empty, lonely heart.
A day after her meeting with the bastard in question, Jiraiya came.
He told her that he was tracking her, but he no longer had any reason to bring her back to Konoha now that the problems back home have been solved.
And thus, they spent their night talking, with her merely acted as the listener for her drunken teammate.
He told her then…
About the problems back in Konoha. About how Orochimaru attacked the village with the reanimated late Hokages, including her own grandfather and the man's little brother.
Oh, sure. Jiraiya also told her about this Naruto guy, but her mind merely focused on the information about Orochimaru and his newly learned 'Edo-Tensei'.
Her little brother and former lover.
Did Orochimaru really thought that she'd let him dug their grave and interrupt their rest with his unholy jutsu?
It really angers her.
And then… she woke up…
She walked down from her rented room in the second floor, intend to talk with Jiraiya about Orochimaru and the offer he made to her.
She wants him dead.
Of course, when she saw Jiraiya's yet to wake up, she took a seat on the stool and was going to order some nice drink to clear her mind a little.
But, before she can do that, Shizune, her protégé introduced to a blonde boy who sat on her right.
Any word spoken. Any sound made… everything disappears the moment she saw his face.
His chubby cheeks.
His wide, innocent eyes.
And his untamed, spiky hair.
'Nawaki…'
Her mind concluded.
And as the shadow of her brother began to lapse with the image of the boy in front of her, anger began to overtake her mind.
A scalding, fury-filled anger.
"You…"
She spoke… and he blinked, his head tilted a little to the left at the same time.
There's no word that can explain what she's experiencing. But there's one thing that she's sure of…
This illusion… she's going to break it.
.
..
And then… her fist met his cheek…
-With Naruto-
Hell…
"That hurt"
A formerly headless corpse twitched as Naruto's head reconstructed itself within a second or two. His eyes watched as the woman titled as the strongest kunoichi walk to him with nothing but anger in her face.
No… not anger.
She's furious.
Okay… for someone with a pair of huge milk jugs in her chest, he's now convinced that this woman is Tsunade Senju, the woman known for her monstrous strength.
He got hit by a tailed beast, but his body were still intact.
Sure, his arm broke. But nonetheless, still intact.
And yet here his head got destroyed by a single punch from this woman.
He's so grateful for whatever gods above that his current body is made of chakra and not flesh and blood.
"Lady, do you have a problem with me?"
Naruto said as he stood with calmness in his face. Although, he patted some dust on his clothes when he realized that he got himself thrown a good few hundred meters away from the punch she gave him.
… impressive.
"Nawaki… I'm sorry, but please rest"
For a small second, a warm look full of love crossed the woman's face. Though, less than a second later, her face returned to its cold, stony anger expression.
Okay… that's strange.
"Lady, my name is Naruto. And I think you're still dru-"
Bam!
Naruto gritted his teeth when he was forced to block a kick to his head with his arms before he can finish his words.
Not surprisingly, it stung.
But this time, he was ready and countered with a punch to the gut.
"…"
Alas, his fist didn't meet its target as Tsunade side stepped and gave his side a painful punch that'd make him spat blood if he were in his original body.
This woman is going for a kill!
And where the hell is the pervert!?
"Tsunade, enough!"
It was then, before he can get another punch to the face, Jiraiya came and caught Tsunade's fist.
Oh, that was good.
And here he was going to activate his gate, lightning armor, and Kyuubi armor mode at the same time to beat up this woman.
Though, when he saw the two sannin members staring at each other, Naruto whispered something under his breath…
"Lustful observe…"
[Tsunade Senju]
[Friendship: -90%]
[Lust: -]
Preference: Someone who can understand her pain.
Love Interest: -None-
[Dominant preference: Smother]
[Submissive preference: none]
Additional Information:
The sole granddaughter of the infamous God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju. Knew how she actually took her happy life for granted when people started to talk behind her back about how the Senju didn't have anyone as powerful as Hashirama since his death and how shameful of her to take the path of a healer instead of a killer.
Nonetheless, she chose to became a ninja medic to proof them wrong.
Killed so few people compared to most ninja of her rank, but chose to retire after the death of her little brother, Nawaki and former lover, Dan. Both dreamed to become a Hokage. And since that day, she hated the title of Hokage and Konoha itself with passion.
.
..
Alright.
This woman is a ball of sunshine, doesn't she?
But still, after he read the infamous Tsunade's profile, Naruto stepped forward and stood between the two sannin members who were in a staring contest, facing the blonde woman fearlessly while giving Jiraiya his back.
"Well… have you woke up now?"
Naruto said with a small smile on his face.
Tsunade didn't give him any painful punch this time.
However, her eyes widened for a small second, probably realized that he's not her little brother or something like that. And it was then… she cried.
Oh…
.
..
..
"So, you're telling me that Orochimaru came to you and offer you to reunite with Nawaki and Dan if you help him with something?"
Back in the bar, Naruto sat on a chair while drinking the milk he ordered before Tsunade Senju punched his face so hard that he became literally headless for a few seconds.
It was fortunate despite how hard the bar shook, only the front wall got destroyed.
Fortunate, because it was not something Jiraiya cannot cover with his money.
"Yeah… I…" For a few seconds, Tsunade stared at him with nothing but longing. And when it was over, her attention went back to Jiraiya "… I'm sorry. But I didn't know Kushina or Minato can regrow their body, is he really their child?"
These words were followed by Jiraiya who's staring at Naruto with a raised eyebrow.
That's new…
Thump
"Well… let me say it before another fist hit me"
Finished his drink, Naruto placed the empty glass on the table and said those words to the two with a small smile on his face.
Maybe it was the smile, or maybe simply because she just fully realized that he's not her little brother, Tsunade's minus friendship suddenly reset by itself.
Following said reset, the woman's cheeks turn pink both in embarrassment and lustful urge as Naruto's pheromone began to take a hold of her.
Inwardly, Naruto can't help but to be happy to see even someone as gorgeous and powerful as Tsunade isn't immune to his charm.
She's definitely his type…
"I'm actually still in coma and need you to ch-"
.
..
It took time.
But nonetheless, Naruto in the end finished the explanation of his current situation to the two sannin members. And while Tsunade looked rather neutral to the situation in question, Jiraiya looked grim.
"Was that the reason you were late to come to me with Luka?"
"Well yeah…" Here, Naruto tilted his head to the direction of his girlfriend on his left. Getting a blush of embarrassment from her "... She and some others decided that it was a good idea to knock and tie me up on a bed just because they didn't like it when I said I wanted to have some fun before this chakra body of mine expire"
For each word said, Luka's cheeks began to get redder and redder. And by the time Naruto finished his explanation, steam already came out of her ears.
Jiraiya…?
He grinned like a maniac.
"Ohooo…? Some others? Do I smell a hare-ouch!"
Before the man can finish his line, Tsunade kicked him hard in the shin.
"Knock it off, old pervert… and anyway, boy. Why don't you tell me first why should I help you?"
As Tsunade's friendship for him stuck on five percent, Naruto let out a small wry sigh.
Of course…
There's just simply no way someone as powerful and as infamous as Tsunade Senju could fall in love with him just like that.
Just like his lovers, he have to work his ass off if he really wanted to get this woman's love and affection.
Inwardly, he smiled.
"Well, for one. I was voted to be the Hokage. And even though I'm yet to choose whether I'll accept the position or not, you don't want to get on my bad side, now, do you?"
"…"
Because Tsunade was sitting right in front of him, both of them stared at each other for a few minutes until in the end, he broke it with small giggles and the woman in question smiled lightly.
She knew he was joking.
"Joke aside, I heard that you're the best medic in the whole world. Honestly, I've accepted my situation and won't mind it. However, I know some people will be upset when I'm gone. I… I don't want them to be upset. So, if you can help me, I'll be very grateful"
"I see…"
For a few seconds, Tsunade became silent.
She could see how the pink-haired girl took a few glances at Naruto with nothing but worry in her eyes. And as for Naruto himself, she'd also see how he was being honest when he said he already accepted his coma state. But still, there's still a telltale of hatred in his eyes.
He's hating himself for making the people precious to him worry about him.
Just like Nawaki…
But…
"I'm sorry, I don't think I can help you"
Naruto stared at her as he honestly didn't expect her to reject him just like that. Was she still angry at him or…
She just decided that she cannot treat his state?
"Wait, please. Tsunade-sama. can you just come back with us to Konoha and check on his condition? I-I know his coma won't last more than three years… b-but imagining myself living without him for a week alone is a torture by itself. If you're thinking about the money, I've saved a lot of them from my missions"
While Naruto was deep in his thought, Luka put her hands on the table and beg.
Well… its more like heartfelt words than some begging words, that's for sure. Nonetheless, the people around Luka know that behind the shadow of her heartfelt words were nothing but a hope to be heard.
A hope that Tsunade Senju would change her mind about her decision.
And Naruto can only let out a sad smile seeing this…
"Look, girl… I want to help. I really do. But I haven't touched my equipment for years. You might not believe this, but the fact is, I… I just can't"
Finished her words, Tsunade stood with an apologetic smile on her face. Her stare linger tad a little bit longer on Naruto, but once she did, she turned around and walked away. Probably going back to her room in the second floor. Leaving four people who became silent in awkwardness.
Not long after, Shizune followed suit her mentor with a nervous bow and a small, meek apologize.
"And here I thought she already overcome her fear of blood"
Jiraiya said before anyone else could say anything, obviously still care enough about his teammate that he had to make sure that not Luka, nor Naruto misunderstood Tsunade.
His respond is just a small raised eyebrow from Naruto.
Luka…?
She didn't believe him.
"Don't lie to me, old man. Tsunade is the greatest medic in the world. Anyone will say the same thing if you ask"
The greatest medic in the world was scared of blood?
That's a lie she could easily smell from miles away, Luka thought angrily as she glared at the pervert titled sannin member.
Jiraiya merely shrugged his shoulders…
"Don't believe me if you don't want to, then. But…"
Here, Jiraiya put his hands on the table and stood, eyes glanced at the direction where Tsunade went to just a few minutes ago.
"… I'll try to talk to her. See if I can make her change her mind. So… don't lose hope just yet. There's so much at stakes if you went into a three years coma"
Right after Jiraiya spoke, Naruto simply nodded.
Right at this moment, he's the person standing in the middle of a spotlight. Just like how his father once was. So, if he ever showed even the tiniest amount of weakness, the people who hates him or his father would come just like hounds that smells fresh blood and make life difficult for him or the people close to him.
Revenge… oh how he hates being the receive end of it.
"Sure, good luck with that, old man. Me and Luka will have a date while you talk to your friend"
"…"
Naruto said, hands wrapped around Luka's right arm before she could say something rude to Jiraiya in impulse. Fortunately for him, the moment he wrapped his arms around his girlfriend, her face light up a little. Eyes glanced at him a few times coyly.
But then again, its Luka…
A blushing, cute girlfriend on the outside, but a sex driven fiend inside.
"Ah, young love. Alright then. I'll see you two later"
Were the words spoken by Jiraiya before he went to the direction where the infamous Tsunade Senju went to.
Less than two or so seconds later, Luka called on him…
"Naruto… why didn't you let me tell Jiraiya how important it is that you must return to full-health? You should've known that a war could break if iwa catch a scent of your weakness"
War that will take more than thousands of lives. All to kill one Naruto Uzumaki.
Naruto blushed a little here, his face buried deep into his girlfriend's neck as the teen herself unconsciously wrapped her arms around his form almost immediately, protectively.
"He's a sannin, Luka. You don't need to say something so obvious to someone like him. I'm sure he'll try his best to get Tsunade to help me"
Luka nodded rather hesitantly here. All the while, she was caressing the back of his head.
"I understand. Are we really going to go on a date, though? Or do you have something else in mind?"
Small it is, Naruto's lips were raised a little to create a rather devious smirk. And once he did, he leaned his face a little upward until his lips were right beside Luka's ear.
"…"
Luka nodded with a similar devious smirk after she heard his plan.
-With Jiraiya-
"Tsunade, so you're here"
After half an hour of searching, Jiraiya in the end saw Tsunade drinking her ass of in another bar at the edge of the town. And from her face alone, he know that his teammate must be pretty upset by some reason.
"… Jiraiya, where's that chibi Minato of yours?"
Uncaring of her teammate words, Tsunade merely gave him a small stiff glance which relaxed the moment she didn't see Naruto following Jiraiya.
It didn't stop her to ask though, just in case the boy was actually around.
"You're awfully wary of him, Tsunade. May I know the reason?"
Taking the seat beside the woman, Jiraiya raised his hand and ordered a glass of nice un-alcoholic liquid to drink. After all, his head's still drumming a little from the hangover he had last night.
Beside him, Tsunade became silent for a few minutes.
"He… He just reminded me of Nawaki. Every time I stare into his face, I can't help but to picture a shadow of my little brother. And it… honestly scare me"
Here, Jiraiya nodded.
"I understand…" After he said this, Tsunade's gaze went to him sharply. But, before she can say anything to argue, Jiraiya spoke "… for years, I tried to speak with Naruto every time I went to Konoha. But every time I saw him from afar… I stopped. His face, his dream, his confidence, each of his qualities reminded me of the student I saw as my own son. Reminded me of my failure to protect him. so yes, I understood that you also can't help but to see your failure to protect Nawaki when you saw Naruto"
It was not Tsunade's fear of blood that made her reject the idea to check on the blonde. But the idea to meet with Naruto's real body, laying helplessly on the bed.
Because if seeing Naruto made Tsunade saw Nawaki's shadow, then to see Naruto's body would be akin to see the death of her own little brother all over again.
And it's not something Tsunade want to see if she can help it.
Jiraiya understood… he understood it perfectly without her telling him any of it.
"But Tsu… you have to realize that Naruto is not Nawaki. I saw him as Minato for so long and it costed me his trust. And I know that unlike me, Naruto's trust is not something you'd want. But believe me when I say this… knowing him will be a blessing for your life. Simply because there's no one so unlike him in this world filled with bloodshed"
Seemingly disgusted by Jiraiya's heart-to-heart talk, Tsunade scoffed and drank her sake with one gulp.
"I wouldn't become a medic if I believed in blessing and miracle, stupid pervert. And my answer won't change… I can't help him"
Tsunade finished her sentence by dropping her sake cup on the table with a loud thump. So hard that the counter cracked a little and made some patrons jumped away from her in fright.
"Alright"
Jiraiya chose to not push anymore button after he said this, knowing when to pull back once his teammate's already at the edge of her temper.
Of course, he's still going to talk to her about Naruto again when he got the chance.
-With Naruto-
"So, they're here?"
"Yup… felt them from miles away. And I'm pretty sure I felt them too back in Konoha yesterday, but my bloodline was restricted back then"
Naruto said with a small smile as he stood in front of a rather decent-looking hotel, hands in pockets despite he can feel that the two people who is tracking him was coming out.
And it took them less that a few seconds to appear in front of him…
"Pretty bold of you to come right to us, Jinchuriki"
A man who looked like a mix between human and shark said right after he saw Naruto standing in front of him without care in the world. Nonetheless, a bloodthirsty grin was visible on his face.
Beside the man in question, another man raised one of his eyebrows gently, as if curious about Naruto's action. A pair of fully matured sharingan can be seen on his eye sockets, spinning ever gently.
Naruto gave him a small smile when he saw this…
"Don't bother with it, Itachi-san. I'm immune to genjutsu… and a yes to your statement, sharky. I consider myself rather choosey when it comes to stalkers, you see, and I don't like it when my stalkers is men. So, I was hoping that both of you could stop before I get antsy"
Naruto said to the two politely, trying, and failing to make the two see reasons. It was obvious from the fact the blue man's excited grin became even bigger than before and Itachi who still had his face etched in its blank expression.
"I see. However, I can't do that, Naruto-san. My order is to bring you to my base, willingly or not. And with my mother not being around to protect you here, I'll use force if it necessary… and also, it seem you forgot something"
For a few seconds, Naruto was startled when he heard that Mikoto was protecting him from Itachi and his partner back when he was at Konoha.
But that few seconds was enough, because right after Itachi finished his sentence, an attack came to him from his right.
Luka!
"…"
Fortunately for Naruto, he was more than fast enough to dodge the attack that came from his own girlfriend.
But much to the confusion of the two men, instead of shock, what crossed Naruto's face was a small smirk.
Shink!
Clang!
An attack flew toward Itachi from his back as another Luka appear with a blade in her hands, which the Uchiha killer blocked with a simple kunai. And when the two men's saw this, they realized that the pinkette beside their target must've been a shadow clone.
"Good, good! You're much more clever than I thought!"
With a bloodthirsty smile, one Kisame Hoshigaki dashed toward Naruto's direction with his large, bandaged blade in hand.
Naruto was quick to destroy his girlfriend's clone and made a smokescreen using the white smoke that came out. An act that made Kisame grin even wider. Though, the man in question discarded his own safety to enter the smokescreen, knowing he would've more advantage than the boy considering he was born and raised in Kirigakure.
Smokescreen or fog was a child play for him.
"…"
Clank
Red, hate-filled blade came howling at him, but Kisame held experience advantage when it comes to hiding in a fog. And thus, it was so easy for him to block the red blade with his own blade.
Although, Kisame still can't help but to shiver when he saw the boy's glaring red eyes full of hatred and intention to kill and maim.
The fear disappeared a second later and turned into excitement.
"Let us kill each other, Jichuriki!"
.
..
..
As for Luka and Itachi, it doesn't look good for the former.
Pant
Pant
Panting rather heavily, Luka held her sword tightly in her hands while closing her eyes. Trusting nothing but her own sense of wind and hearing to track her adversary.
But… Itachi was good.
"I was in disbelief when I heard a whole clan got killed by you. But I can see that you're actually strong enough to did it"
Unlike most Uchiha clan members, Itachi didn't seem to need an eye-contact to trap someone inside a genjutsu. And from what Luka can see, he can even use a small gesture like a simply, pointing finger to apply genjutsu on her.
A fucking genius, that's what he is.
No wonder he killed his own family. With a power like him, he probably thought that his family were too weak to hold the name Uchiha.
So very few can hold power and stay sane like her boyfriend, after all.
"…"
Unlike her, Itachi kept his silent. Probably because he knew that by talking, it would make Luka able to pinpoint his location.
However, it was then the two broke from their scuffles when they heard a scream…
"ITACHI!"
The sound of birds chirping can be heard across the clearing as Sasuke held a chidori in his right hand. His eyes glaring hatred toward his one and only big brother.
Seeing this, Luka jumped back away a little to get herself some distance.
That hatred in Sasuke's eyes…
She knew that with such hatred, the boy won't be able to tell different between allies and enemies. And also, she doesn't want to get hit by Kakashi Hatake's infamous jutsu, thank you very much.
Alas…
"You're still weak, little brother. You disappoint me"
The battle between two living Uchica ended just like that when Sasuke dashed recklessly and got his hand broken by the older man. The infamous Chidori dissipated along with it.
Followed by his scream of pain…
"Aaaaargh!"
"…"
Luka wasn't able to hear it. But she's pretty sure that Itachi whispered something to Sasuke, one that made the boy shook in anguish.
Of course, by this time, she was already behind the man once again. Trying to cut his head clean off from his shoulders.
For the answer, Itachi broke down into a crowd of crows.
"Genjutsu"
Luka said softly when she realized that she had opened her eyes at some point. An action that made Itachi able to apply his sharingan genjutsu on her.
And knowing this, Luka did not hesitate to bit into her own lips and made it bleed.
"…"
The pain broke her from the genjutsu, and once again, she got a clear view of the clearing.
She was still standing on the place where she jumped back when she saw Sasuke and his Chidori. And a few meters away from her, Itachi was looming over Sasuke who's laying on the ground, with the boy in question screaming as if he's having a nightmare.
Itachi must've applied the genjutsu on her when she jumped away.
Such speed…
Help came in the form of Naruto who threw Kisame out of the smokescreen, with the fish man rocketed toward Itachi who simply side-stepped a little to the side.
Kisame seemed to be in a slightly bad condition.
Only slightly though… and from his face alone, Luka can tell that the man's still excited for another round of battle with her Naruto.
Naruto himself…?
He flickered to her side with a small glance toward Sasuke. Watching the Uchiha's heir grunting on the ground for a brief second before his attention returned to Itachi.
"Go away… today will simply become my statement to you. But if you dare to try it again, I won't let you live to see another day"
For a minutes or so, Itachi and his partner became silent.
However, just as Kisame wanted to refuse Naruto's order, Itachi blinked his eyes and nodded, seemingly still uncaring about anything else, but can see that he's now in a bad spot.
Jiraiya was close. If they keep going, sooner or later, the sannin would notice their battle.
"Let's go Kisame… we no longer have a surprise element. A fight with Kyuubi Jinchuriki could last for days with his stamina and immunity to genjutsu"
Albeit reluctantly, Kisame in the end sheathed back his blade and simply let out a small 'tch'. Although, this small action was followed by a small grin pointed toward Naruto.
"Jinchuriki… I'll remember you"
"Not the most pleasant thing I heard from a non-female, but okay"
And right after Naruto said his piece, the two men disappeared just like that, leaving Naruto and Luka all alone in the clearing with Sasuke who's grunting and screaming on the ground.
The idea to abandon him passed Luka's mind for a small second.
Alas, her boyfriend already moved and grabbed the boy by his collar and started to drag him to the direction of the bar where Jiraiya and Tsunade were on.
Slightly displeased by this, Luka spoke…
"Naruto… can you just place him in Jiraiya's care and get us a date? I want to spend some quality time with you"
Of course, when Naruto heard his girlfriend said this, he let out a small, coy smile with a small patch of blush on his cheeks.
"Of course, Luka. I'd like to"
Luka gave him a warm kiss to the cheek when she heard his agreement.
Getting herself a date with her adorable boyfriend when there's no other girls around?
It was a good day for her…
Hate it?
Love it?
as usual tell me in the review. and also, I actually had a question after I reread this new chapter of mine...
was the plot a little bit too fast?
talk about the words count, it doesn't seem to be that fast. But I'll be grateful if any of you were to tell me what you all think about this.
anyway, I hope all of you have a good day.
Ciao~z
