Naruto, The Ninth Tail: Chapter 5
Temptation
"Why did you have to do that, Kimiko-sensei?"
"Why did you have to do that, Kimiko-sensei?"
From the forest, a dark figure could be seen with a devilish smile on.
"Why?" the voice was female. It was soft, yet haunting. Shy, yet commanding. "It's because we need that kid. You know what he is, and it would be useless without a host body."
The woman stepped out of the shadows, revealing a well curved body. She had black, long, silky hair that ended at her waist. Her eyes were like Sasuke's, sharp, black, yet had more joy in them. Her lips were very delicate, yet had a toying look. Her skin was smooth, without flaw. Her chest was average sized. She was wearing a black, skin-tight dress that stopped below her knees. The sides of the dress from below the waist down were open, showing a lot of leg. Her black leather gloves were up to her elbows, and her black boots had very high heels. At the neck, there was a triangle of fabric cut of that went right down to the middle of her chest. She wore short, dangling earrings with black gems. Her total appearance was very appealing. She was like a star from a movie.
The elder Shinobis couldn't help but gawk at her beauty. At a glance, they would never have guessed she was the master of Kirin and Touda. Yet they were, at her feet, kneeling on their right knees, right fists pressed against ground, heads bowed. Kirin had finished re-growing his arm.
"You didn't have to come here, Kimiko-sensei." Touda was saying this, looking at her, awe and care in his eyes. "We could have taken care of this."
"I know you can do it, Touda-kun," Kimiko said, holding Touda's chin, tilting his head up. She looked deep into his eyes, affection coursing through the air between them. She glanced at the other Sabishii member. "However, I have doubts about your partner here."
Kirin glanced away, at the ground, ashamed of what he had done.
"Could it be?" Kakashi was looking at the woman, and she turned and looked at Kakashi. "Tanzou Kimiko?"
Kimiko's eyes flashed recognition, and she smiled. "Hatake Kakashi… It's been a long time."
Sakura turned towards her former teacher. "You know that woman, Kakashi-sensei?"
Kakashi kept looking at Kimiko. "When I was still part of the Anbu, I had a mission to kill a Missing-Nin from the Country of Stone. We were accompanied by some Anbu members from the Country of Stone. Tanzou Kimiko was one of them. She was a very good Ninja, and she even beat me in training with my Sharingan on. I don't know where she gets her strength, but she is one hell of a good Ninja."
After Kakashi had said all this, Naruto stirred, groaned, and sat up, rubbing his head. As he opened his eyes, the world was blurry, and a large black lump was at his feet. He rubbed his eyes, and the world gradually focused. He gasped and blushed. There was a beautiful woman at his feet, on her stomach, head in her hands, feet swinging front and back.
"Nee-chan, Is this heaven?"
The woman giggled, and Naruto's heart leaped into his throat. It was a beautiful sound, one Naruto had never heard before. It was affection, care, grace, happiness, all blended together.
"No, you're still on Earth." The woman cleared that up for his befuzzled head. "My name is Tanzou Kimiko. What's yours?"
"Uzumaki Naruto!" He put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes, with a smile on his face.
Kimiko crawled over to Naruto's side. "Naruto? That's a very nice name." She slowly caressed his cheek with the back of her hand, making him blush even harder. He looked every way except where Kimiko was. He saw Kirin and Touda, still kneeling, and rage bubbled up in his chest.
"Bastards!" Naruto brought out two kunai, and held one in each hand. He started to run at the two, but Kimiko was surprisingly strong, and held onto Naruto's collar, stopping him. However, his momentum sent his whole body flying forward. As Kimiko let go of him, he fell back first, getting the wind knocked out of him.
He groaned, and rubbed his head. "Owwwww… Nee-chan, why did you do that?"
She knelt beside him again, and combed his hair with her hand. "It's because they're my subordinates, and you shouldn't hurt them."
He pouted. "Then why were they trying to hurt me and my friends?" He opened his eyes. "Speaking of my friends…" He looked back and forth, but he couldn't see them.
This was because Naruto was under the influence of an illusion. Kimiko was the one who was controlling the illusion, but the other two Sabishii were actually stopping Sakura, Kakashi, and Jiraiya from getting near him. However, Kimiko was really beside Naruto.
"Where are my friends?" Naruto got up, and looked farther.
Kimiko stood up and started caressing his chest from behind, making Naruto, once again, blush. "You don't need them. You can join our group, and you can have whatever you want."
"I don't really want much, Nee-chan… just some friends, lots of ramen, cool techniques, and lots of cool missions!"
"We can give you all of that, and we can give you one more thing." Kimiko leaned over to Naruto's ear, while tilting his chin towards her. She whispered one word.
"Revenge."
At this single word, Naruto's mind went into its own world. That world was one he wanted to abandon a long time ago, but it was still a part of him. He saw his younger self, crying, while all the villagers looked at him with disdain, some with fear. The adults knew that Naruto had the Kyubi sealed within him. Actually, that was not true. They thought that Naruto was the Kyubi. As they influenced their children, the kids started to hate Naruto just because their parents told them to. He hated all those people who did that. He hated the fact that the Yondaime Hokage had sealed the Kyubi inside Naruto in the first place. He didn't get a say in any of that. It was that that made his old life miserable.
An ache in his chest developed, and his eyes started to water. A tear slid down his cheek, but he couldn't feel it.
Kimiko started to breathe down his neck. She brushed the tear away with her finger. "Don't you want those people who treated you badly to pay? Don't you want them to suffer like you did?"
Naruto had his eyes downcast. "Ye… yes…"
"Well then, I guess you'll join us then." She dispelled the illusion, and the fake Kirin and Touda melted away. Naruto looked up. He saw Kirin holding a struggling Sakura, and Touda holding up a beaten up Kakashi and a bruised Jiraiya.
"Naruto!" Sakura shouted, trying to get herself free, but Kirin was too strong.
Kimiko held onto Naruto's chin with one hand, his shoulder with the other, and put her head right beside his. "Little Naruto here has willingly chosen to come with us, whether you like it or not."
Sakura stopped struggling, and looked at Naruto straight in the eyes. "Is… Is this true?"
Naruto looked at the ground, away from Sakura. Tears had begun to well up.
"No! It's not true!" Sakura screamed, flinging tears into the air, renewing the struggle to get out of the grip of Kirin. "Naruto, why? Why did you choose to go to their side? You know we already lost Sasuke-kun… I can't lose you now!" Although her strength was very strong, it did not break Kirin's grip on her.
She was now pleading with him. "Naruto, you know I can't live with two of my team mates gone… Please…"
"Well," Kimiko stood up straight, "now that we have what we wanted, we have nothing more to do." Kirin and Touda released their captors, and jumped over to the sides of Kimiko. Sakura slumped to the ground, utterly defeated. She didn't know what to do, because there would be one more friend that was leaving her side. Kakashi came over, and put his hand on her shoulder. Jiraiya just sat down, thinking.
"It's been nice seeing you again, but I think it's time for us to go." Kimiko pulled Naruto, but he didn't budge. "Naruto, it's time to go."
