The new day, the new sky, the water and the land - ever the same and ever evolving - the embodiment of the moment and the eternal entwined.
Naruto Uzumaki, 30 year-old Investment Banker woke up early and went into his bathroom to shower, twenty minutes later the blonde came out of the bathroom, wearing a a smooth shirt and buttoned it up fully to support the graceful bow tie he's wearing. On top of the shirt he's wearing a sleek vest with 7 buttons, it has a deep v-line, which causes the vest to remain hidden when the suit's jacket is buttoned up.
The jacket was clearly made for him, it's a perfect fit. It has an intricate rope strike pattern which makes it look stylish and graceful. The 5 buttons of his double breasted jacket are all buttoned up, it's the only right way to wear it.
The jacket is slightly longer at the back, it has vents at either side, there's a pocket on either side and there's a breast pocket which contains a pocket watch.
He's wearing pants which have the same color as the jacket, but a slightly different pattern and they make an ideal combination with his shoes. He's wearing a modest pair of brogue derbies.
To top it all off he's wearing a graceful belt, which can be accompanied by a tie clip and cuff links.
After grabbing his keys and briefcase, he headed out of his home and got into his blue BMW x5.
Forty minutes later, Naruto pulled into his Parking space at Investscape, Konoha's largest financial investment firm, owned by his Parents, Minato and Kushina Uzumaki.
The blonde grabs his briefcase and exits his SUV, smiling and waving at Kykiyo Hikari, the company's Receptionist, who smiled and waved to Naruto in return.
Naruto quickly takes the elevator up to the fourth floor where his office was. Upon entering his office, Naruto saw that he had a message on his machine.
Sitting down at his desk, the blonde turned on his computer before checking the message.
Beep...
"Hi Naruto, it's Sakura... I uh wanted to call and let you know that I-I won't be able to make our date Saturday, I'm sorry b-but something pressing with my Parents has come up and they n-need me, I hope that you understand. Again, I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Bye."
"Tch, like I didn't already know that she'd blow me off again. I'm done with her, if she wants Sasuke, I'm not going to stand in the way of her happiness."
Naruto says bitterly.
Naruto dove into his work ferociously, blocking out all distractions working tirelessly even through lunch. Then, around two hours before quitting time, his Father, Minato Namikaze, the CEO of the company called his Son into his office.
Minato Namikaze was a shrewd businessman who was ruthless and cold, his marriage to his Wife Kushina had lasted for roughly a decade and a half, but it was by no means a happy marriage, marred by scandal and infidelity. Minato despised Naruto because he didn't share his ruthlessness when it came to the business. Opting instead to be fair, and at times overly generous with his clients by greatly reducing or just flat out waiving the Commission Fee on the investments that the younger blonde handles.
Walking into Minato's office, Naruto sees his Father, seated behind his desk, seated in the chair across from Minato's desk sat a young woman who looked to be a few years older than Naruto. She was stunningly beautiful with the same crimson red hair that his Mother, Kushina has.
The midnight blue dress covers her shoulders entirely and flows down into a modest semi-sweetheart neckline. It's a loose fit which makes the dress both enjoyable to wear and look at.
Her arms have been covered fully. The sleeves are a loose fit from top to bottom, giving the dress a slightly casual look.
The dress' waist is broad, but it's a tight fit. A bow has been wrapped around her and rests gentle on her lower back.
Below the waist the dress widens and has a gathered style. The dress reaches to just above her knees and is slightly longer in the back.
She's wearing cone heels, which matches the dress perfectly. To top it all off she's wearing a gorgeous necklace and an ornate bracelet.
Naruto was captivated by the crimson haired angel as she sat there with her left leg crossed daintily over her right as she carefully pushed her glasses back up onto her face.
"Ah, Naruto my boy. I want you to meet Karin, she's going to be a Client of ours and I'm putting you in charge of her portfolio."
"OK." Naruto says, it was then that Karin stood up and walked over and stood in front of Naruto, sizing him up carefully. Her red eyes however were having a different affect on Naruto.
Naruto felt as if time itself had ground to a halt when those shimmering crimson orbs landed on him, freezing him despite being the color of a smoldering fire.
Naruto found himself unwilling to tear his gaze away from hers. She had effortlessly captured the blonde and without saying a single word to him.
Minato cleared his throat, which breaks the spell that Karin had had Naruto under.
Embarrassed, Naruto looks down and blushed. Seeing this makes Karin smile and slightly blush herself.
After about ten minutes of awkward silence, Naruto finally found his voice.
"Pl-please follow me Ms. Karin." Naruto said.
Karin nods and follows Naruto out of Minato's office and into his. Taking a seat in Naruto's office on the plush Italian leather sofa that is next to Naruto's desk, the redhead resumed her sitting position, crossing her right leg over her left.
"So Miss Karin, do you have a last name?" inquired the blonde.
"Uzumaki, just like you." she replied.
Naruto was shocked at this revelation, he didn't remember her from any of the Uzumaki Family reunions or cookouts that he had frequented in the past.
"How you ask?" Karin asked his unasked question as she read his cool azure orbs that she found tantalizing.
The blonde nods slowly.
"I was born in Southern Uzushiogakure to a woman named Nisagi Uzumaki, she was-."
"She was my Kaa-chan's Older Sister, making her my Aunt, meaning that we're c-Cousins." Naruto said with a hint of sadness in his voice.
Karin catches on and raises an eyebrow at his reaction.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"It's just..." Naruto began, but hesitated before taking a calming breath to steady his nerves before willing himself to continue.
"K-Karin, I-I... My girlfriend of the past six and a half years just broke up with me today via a message that she left me on my office phone and then I meet you just now, I-I'm not saying anything has to happen between us, I mean- we're family and it'd probably be weird, but I think you're the second most beautiful woman that I've ever seen." Naruto said in all honesty.
"Only the second most beautiful? Well, whose your most beautiful?" she asks feigning being hurt.
Naruto smiles genuinely.
"My Mother, you have almost the same shade of hair color that she does, but that's not what drew me to you, Karin."
"Oh? Then, what did it for you, Naruto?" Karin asked sexily as she twirled a loose strand of her hair around one well-manicured finger playfully.
"It was your eyes. When you looked at me in my Dad's office, you instantly had me captivated and intrigued, I also felt an attraction to you, but if you d-don't feel the same, I can just back off and only act as your Investment Banker solely." the blonde said solemnly.
Smiling warmly, Karin smiled and shook her head slowly.
She stood up and walked over to Naruto and sat on Naruto's lap, making the blonde blush.
Karin lifted her ass and sat herself down on Naruto's left leg. It was actually more comfortable this way, and Naruto enjoyed the feeling of his Cousin's surprisingly firm butt against him. She leaned forward uncomfortably at first, but eventually she decided to lean back and rest against Naruto's chest. She relaxed her legs too, and soon her pussy was radiating heat onto Naruto's leg.
When he felt the wetness on his leg, Naruto's azure eyes widened in surprise and shock.
"I...don't mind dating you, Naruto." Karin whispered sweetly into his right ear.
Naruto shivered when he felt the redhead's sweetly warm voice tickle his ear.
"Actually, I've wanted to meet you for a long while." Karin said before wrapping her arms around his neck and leaning in and kissing him carefully. The kiss shocked the blonde, she readily pressed her advantage, shoving her tongue into his mouth feverishly. Naruto quickly pulled back from the redhead, they were both blushing immensely.
"Y-you were? Why?" he asks.
"Well, I've always wanted to meet someone who was close to my Mom, and I by chance met your Mom, Kushina a couple of years ago when she had lunch with my Mom and I was over the moon when I found out that I had a Cousin that I hadn't met yet and then Aunt Kushina told me that you worked here and I remembered that had some investments that I wanted to move and grow, so..." she said with a knowing smile.
"You wanted to come here to meet me and size me up, also you wanted to move your investments here to this company from wherever you had them before, right?"
Karin nods slowly, a blush appearing on her gorgeous visage.
"So, tell me Karin, did you have to pay a Commission on your investments at the other firm you used?"
"Yes, nearly 10% on 400,000 dollars worth of investments. My portfolio and Savings took a pounding in the Market." Karin said dejectedly.
"Do you know who your last Investment Banker was?"
"Sasuke Uchiha of Osawa Obligatory Investments. Why?" she questioned.
"It's a good thing that you moved your portfolio, Karin. The Federal Bureau Of Civic Investigation has been probing that company for the past two years, apparently the Uchiha Family who run the company have significant ties to Organized Crime, namely the Yakuza and they launder a large portion of the money that they get from their Clients for the Yakuza through shell companies, but thanks to Mikoto Uchiha they are about to be exposed to the world." Naruto says.
The pair exchange numbers before Naruto says his farewells to Karin and his Parents before leaving. Later that night, Naruto went to bed, falling asleep peacefully. Dreaming of the gorgeous redhead.
