Chapter 2
After going on what seemed like an incredibly long and almost tiring travel, Yoshi and Naruto had finally arrived at the Hidden Leaf Village. They were already half way through the entrance when they stopped for a short while.
"Okay, we're here. So all we have to do is head to the Hokage's office, talk to Tsunade and see if she can help sort this out." said Yoshi.
"Agreed. But first, let's stop by the Ichiraku for some ramen. All that travelling has left me feeling hungry." said Naruto.
"How can you seriously think about eating at a time like this?"
"Stop fretting, you know very well that you're hungry too. I heard your stomach growling the whole way here."
Yoshi slapped a hand to his forehead and groaned. Even though he wanted to get out of his current predicament, he couldn't hide the fact that he was just as hungry as Naruto was. The growling in his stomach was a clear indication.
"Alright, fine. But after we're done eating, we head straight for the Hokage, okay."
"Sure, no problem Yos-"
Yoshi cupped a hand over Naruto's mouth to silence him.
"And another thing. Until we get this problem figured out, you are to refer to me as Manachi Ihsoy. I don't want anyone recognizing me just yet."
With that in order, they resumed walking in the village. But while on their way to the Ramen Ichiraku, he couldn't help noticing the looks of interest he was getting from the local women, including a few kunoichi as well. He could even hear a few of them talking along the way.
"Ooh, he's so sexy."
"He's hot."
"I'd love to have my hands all over him."
"I wonder if he's single."
"All the things I would do to him."
"Hot baby, he's a sight for sore eyes."
Yoshi cringed in dismay at all the sexual comments he heard. He almost came close to sweating nervously, but he managed to keep himself calm and collected, despite feeling embarrassed. Naruto placed a hand on his shoulder, letting him know that everything would be okay. At least for the moment.
Once they arrived at their designated location, they walked up and sat at the counter on stools. Seconds later, they were approached by Teuchi as he walked out of the kitchen. He was followed shortly by his daughter Ayame, whose eyes immediately fell upon Yoshi. She giggled girlishly as she stared at him.
"Wow, he's so cute." she thought.
"Hello Naruto, how's my number one customer?" greeted Teuchi.
"Never been better. I'll have a bowl of miso ramen."
"Coming up."
"Who's your friend here, Naruto?" asked Ayame while casting a glance at Yoshi.
"This is Y-, Manachi Ihsoy." Naruto corrected himself
"Hello, it's nice to meet you." he said, albeit nervously due to Ayame being so close to him.
"Nice to meet you too, good looking." she replied with seduction.
"Ayame, stop flirting with Manachi, he's a new customer. Show some respect." scolded Teuchi.
"Sorry."
"Uh, it's okay. I'm just fine." Yoshi assured them.
"What would you like to eat?" asked Teuchi.
"One bowl of barbecue ramen."
"Sure thing."
As he headed back for the kitchen, he saw that his daughter was still standing near Yoshi.
"Ayame!" he called.
"Oh, coming." she replied before following him, but not without turning to Yoshi and winking at him. After that, she went in the kitchen.
Yoshi groaned to himself and placed his head down on the table.
"Hey, what's wrong?" asked Naruto.
Yoshi raised his head back up to face him.
"Nothing much, except for the fact that even if I don't do anything or say anything at all, women still can't take their eyes off me."
"You can't really blame them. In this form, you're like every woman's fantasy brought to life. It's like you're God's answer to their inner desires."
"Hmm, pretty interesting words coming from a knucklehead ninja like you. In case you hadn't noticed, trying to stay calm in a ninja village where the women all stare and make sexual comments towards me is not exactly what I call easy."
"You make it sound like it's a bad thing."
"Listen, I've got nothing against a woman showing interest in me. It's just a harem of women that I have a hard time dealing with, especially when all that's on their minds is getting me in the act. And being this way, almost anyone of them would willingly throw themselves at me."
"Face it, you're too irresistible for women to pass up."
Pretty soon, Teuchi and Ayame came back with their bowls of ramen. Teuchi presented the miso ramen to Naruto while Ayame presented the barbecue ramen to Yoshi.
"Here you go Manachi, a nice bowl of ramen. I made it myself, just for you." she cooed while batting her eyelashes at him.
"Uh, thank you."
"Ayame, leave him alone. He can't eat with you being so close to him." said Teuchi.
"I can't help it, he's just so cute, and dare I say, ooh so sexy, hehehehe." she giggled while flashing a grin that a only a pervert would make. But while Naruto and Teuchi paid no attention, Yoshi did, and clearly he found it to be disturbing.
"Ayame, please back up a little. I tend to get uncomfortable when people look at me like that while I'm eating." he requested kindly.
"Sorry, my bad. Go ahead." she apologized before stepping back a few feet.
Breathing out a sigh of relief, Yoshi picked up a pair of chopsticks and started to chow down on the ramen along with Naruto. The whole time they were eating, Ayame kept her eyes on Yoshi the entire hour. Something about the way he was eating made her lick her lips passionately. Every time she watched him scoop up some ramen with his chopsticks, he would eagerly but slowly bring it up to his lips, slurping it up and chewing it in his mouth. Ayame's 'grin' suddenly got more wider and creepy looking, along with her eyes becoming squinted and sparkly.
"Mmmm, he's soooooo sexy. The muscles, that face, those lips, so mm-mm scrumptious." Ayame thought.
"She's making that same creepy pervert face as Rangiku did earlier. Great, not only do I attract women, but somehow when they take one look at me, they become perverted. Oh what a miracle that is, NOT." Yoshi thought.
About a few minutes later, Yoshi and Naruto had finally finished eating.
"Ahh, what a nice meal." said Naruto while rubbing his stomach.
"You said it, nothing like eating some good food after a long travel here." Yoshi agreed.
Yoshi was prepared to leave when suddenly Naruto stopped him by grabbing his shoulder.
"Not so fast, 'Manachi'. We're splitting the payment on this." said Naruto with a mischievous smile.
"You cannot be serious. Coming here was your idea, so I think you should pay for both meals."
"Sorry, fair is fair."
Yoshi could only grumble in annoyance. He could tell that Naruto was doing this as his way of getting even for hitting him earlier. And clearly there was no way he could get out of it.
"Hahahaha, not to worry. Today's meals are on the house." said Teuchi.
The exact point of which Naruto's glee went away was the same time of when Yoshi's relief had came in.
"Gee, thanks sir." replied Yoshi while casting a smug look at Naruto, who just grunted before getting up to leave.
Yoshi was just about to follow him until Ayame grabbed his wrist and pulled him back, kissing him on the cheek. She then used her other hand to bring his face in closer until they met eye to eye.
"Come back anytime, big boy." she whispered seductively before giving him a small, but passionate kiss on the lips, letting him go soon after. She then slowly retreated to the kitchen, turning her head back to flick her tongue out at him briefly before continuing on.
After regaining his composure, Yoshi then left to catch up with Naruto. They then proceeded on their way to the Hokage's office. But unfortunately, getting there would not be as easy as they assumed, especially since Yoshi's presence had drawn on the attention of two notable kunoichi, Sakura and Ino. They watched him with smiles on their faces as they followed his movements.
"Wow, get a load of that guy, he's hot." commented Sakura.
"More than hot, he's gorgeous." said Ino.
"Unbelievable, he's even more sexy than Sasuke." thought Sakura.
But then, Sakura had spotted Ino already rushing directly for Yoshi.
"Hey, no fair. I saw him first!" she snapped before following after her rival.
Yoshi meanwhile was busy trying to cope with the possibility of being stuck like this for the rest of his life. If he could never change back, then he would be chased by amorous women for all eternity, which is something he did not want to happen.
However, his moment of thinking was soon cut off when Ino came walking up between him and Naruto. She formed a flirtatious smile as she turned to look at him.
"Hi there cutie." she greeted.
"Oh, hello there." he responded, not wanting to be rude.
"I haven't seen you around here before, so I assume that you're new?"
To keep his cover intact, he made up a lie.
"Uh hehehe, actually I've lived here my whole life. I just haven't been out and about as much, except whenever I hung out with my friend Naruto."
"Oh, how quaint. Because Naruto and I, we go way back. We were pretty good friends during our younger years."
"Excuse me, but during the younger years you and everyone else always use to mistreat me and call me an idiot, not to mention-" Naruto started to say.
But Ino stopped him by punching him in the stomach.
"So, what's your name?" she asked.
"Manachi Ihsoy." Yoshi answered simply.
"Well Manachi-kun, how's about we-"
She never got to finish as Sakura shoved her away.
"Hey good looking, going my way?" she greeted flirtatiously.
"I take it that you're Sakura Haruno, Naruto's teammate. He's told me a lot about you." Yoshi said.
"And if I heard clearly, your name is Manachi, right?"
"Yes."
"Ooh hoohoo, I like that."
"Thanks, I guess."
"Judging from your looks, I'd say you're somewhere between the ages 19 or 20."
"You're very observant, aren't you SakuraAAAAAAAAAEEEEE."
He let out a scream of shock when he felt Sakura's hand grabbing his butt.
"Ooh, he's got a tight ass." thought Sakura with a pervy grin.
Naruto looked on with dismay and shock. He couldn't believe that his own teammate would behave in such a dirty, sexual manner. Something about Yoshi's human form was obviously making her act this way, yet he didn't know what.
Yoshi became even more uncomfortable the moment Sakura started to molest him under his shirt with her right hand while still touching his butt with her left one.
"Sakura, stop it. We're out in public." Yoshi told her.
"Hehehehehe, I would stop. But then again, I just don't want to, hehehehehehe." she giggled naughtily.
"Naruto, help me." he muttered desperately.
Having grown tired and somewhat jealous of seeing this, Naruto decided to intervene.
"Listen Sakura, it was nice seeing you and all, but me and my friend are in a real hurry, so we'll be going now." said Naruto as he pried Yoshi away from Sakura before they went walking off.
Sakura could only stand with a smile and a giggle as she watched him leave.
"Mm-mm, he's so scrumptious. Perhaps I might have to get more better *acquainted* with him later." she said with a sexy tone.
"YOU'VE GOT SOME NERVE, BILLBOARD BROW." yelled Ino with rage as she confronted her rival.
"OH PLEASE, IT'S NOT LIKE YOU HAD A CHANCE WITH HIM!" Sakura yelled back.
"I WOULD HAVE HAD HIM IF YOU HADN'T BUTTED IN!"
"IN YOUR DREAMS, INO-PIG!"
"SCREW YOU, BILLBOARD BROW!"
"INO-PIG!"
"BILLBOARD BROW!"
The two continued to scream at each other like bickering siblings for the next several minutes, much to the dismay of those who were around at the time.
Later on...
"I don't know Naruto. I'm not sure if I can handle this." said Yoshi as they walked down the hall towards the Hokage's office.
"Relax, it's gonna be fine. Grandma Tsunade can help solve any problem."
"Just one question, why do you always call her Grandma Tsunade?"
"No big deal, I just say that to show how close we are."
"Okay. But I'm just worried about what she'll do when she sees me like this."
"It's okay, just stay calm."
They came to a stop upon arriving in front of the entrance to Tsunade's office. Thankfully, the door was already open. Tsunade was sitting at her desk finishing up the very last bit of paper work that she had.
"Hello Granny Tsunade." greeted Naruto.
"Oh, hello Naruto." she greeted back.
"I know that I normally don't come here as much, but there's a problem that I think you should know about."
"Well, what is it?"
"Actually it would be more better if you saw for yourself."
On cue, Yoshi had came walking into the room. The very moment Tsunade laid eyes on him, all she did was stare at him without even saying anything. But after a short second, she then turned back to Naruto with a frustrated look.
"Is this suppose to be some kind of joke Naruto?" she asked with a stern tone.
"No no no, it's not like that. This is Yoshi, he turned himself into a human and now he can't change back."
"Yeah right, I don't believe you."
"No really, it's me Yoshi. I'm serious." Yoshi spoke up.
But Tsunade still didn't buy it.
"Just because you say that you're Yoshi, it doesn't mean that you really are Yoshi."
"Oh really, it's that kind of talk which makes it all worth while."
"If you really are Yoshi, then prove it. What's your most favorite food here?"
"That's easy, it's ramen."
"What's your most frequently used jutsu?"
"Transformation Jutsu."
"What do you do when someone angers you?"
"I lose my temper and lash out at them."
"Here's another one, how often do you eat ramen?"
"The very moment I enter the village, and again before I leave. Now do you believe that it's me?"
But Tsunade only chuckled for a short second before replying.
"I was just joking, I knew it was you the whole time Yoshi."
"If you knew it was really me, then why did you have me answer those questions?"
"I was just messing with you for a bit. Now anyway, if I recall just now, Naruto said that you turned yourself into a human and you're unable to change back to your normal form, is that right?"
"Yes, it is. I ended up being stuck this way because I ignored Naruto's warning about overusing the Transformation Jutsu. And so, since I didn't listen to him, I became like this. And I have no idea what's stopping me from changing back."
"I see, this problem sounds like a major one."
"That's not all. To top it off, I've been getting hit on by almost every woman who comes within my proximity. And to add insult to injury, every time women get near me, they begin behaving like perverts. Not to mention the fact they always molest me when they get the chance."
"It's true Grandma Tsunade. Just a few minutes ago, Sakura came onto him too." Naruto explained.
"Wait a minute. Sakura Haruno, my apprentice, came onto you?" asked Tsunade with surprise.
"Yes, she did. And not only did she molest me, she had the nerve to grab my butt."
Tsunade took the time to process what she just heard. She knew for a fact that Sakura was much more well behaved and sophisticated than that, and never once would she ever in her life act like a horny pervert around any guy, not even Naruto.
"I can't believe she would do that. This is so unlike her."
"But aside from that matter, I was wondering if you knew how I could change back and put an end to all this."
But before she could even answer, the three of them heard a familiar laughter coming from outside. Within seconds, Jiraiya peeked in through the window before jumping in.
"Jiraiya!" exclaimed Yoshi and Tsunade.
"Pervy Sage!" exclaimed Naruto.
"Sorry to pop in like this, but I was just passing by when I happen to overhear your conversation. So I decided to check it out." said Jiraiya.
"How much of it did you hear?" Yoshi asked with suspicion.
"I heard it all. And judging from what I know, it appears that your problem is the result of chakra overflow."
"Chakra overflow, what does that mean?"
"The reason for why you're currently stuck the way you are is because the amount of chakra you've gathered up has bypassed it's limit. To be specific, because of how much you have, your chakra network is filled with overflowing chakra, which prevents you from maintaining control over your jutsu." he explained.
"So what you're saying is that because I stored too much chakra within my body, my chakra network is processing such high quantities that I'm unable to properly control it?"
"Exactly."
"How do you know so much about this?"
"Hahahaha, because if I recall a long time ago, a certain apprentice of mine went through the same problem. Isn't that right, Naruto?" he asked while glancing at Naruto with a sly look on his face.
Naruto's face: (O_O)
"PERVY SAGE, YOU PROMISED YOU WOULDN'T TELL ANYONE." Naruto screamed with alarm.
"Come on Naruto. I don't think it's fair not to let your friend here know about your previous experience in this endeavor."
It wasn't belong before Naruto was grabbed and shook by an infuriated Yoshi.
"YOU MEAN THAT YOU WENT THROUGH THIS BEFORE AND YOU NEVER BOTHERED TO WARN ME UNTIL NOW, YOU IDIOT!?" Yoshi snapped with rage.
"I didn't even think of it until he brought it up. I told him not to tell anyone about it."
"YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE LETTING ME MAKE A FOOL OUT OF MYSELF. NOW THANKS TO YOU, I'VE GOT LOVE CRAZED WOMEN AFTER ME!"
"Yoshi settle down, he just forgot. He didn't mean to let you go through all this." said Tsunade in an effort to calm him.
Yoshi dropped Naruto to the floor before turning to face her.
"But you don't understand what I'm going through here. As far as I'm concerned, there are plenty of women out there who are just inching to get their hands on me."
"Even as a human he gets more women than me, this is so unfair." thought Jiraiya.
"I understand that you're paranoid about this. But yelling at Naruto is not the way to solve this problem."
"Which reminds me. There's at least one way this problem can be solved." Jiraiya stated.
"Oh thank god, I'm saved. Give it to me straight, what's the solution?" Yoshi asked eagerly.
"The only solution is that you have to wait until your chakra network is back under control."
"How long do I have to wait?"
"You aren't going to like this. Depending on how long it takes, you'll have to wait for like a month or two, maybe more."
"WHAT, I HAVE TO WAIT THAT LONG, ARE YOU INSANE?"
"Hey, I told you that you wouldn't like it."
"But you can't be serious, isn't there some other way?"
"Sorry, that's the only way."
"So what am I suppose to do until then?"
"Don't worry, you'll figure something out. But I just want to know one thing."
"What's that?"
"I've noticed that whenever you come here you always have a way with getting the ladies to like you. Tell me, what's your secret?"
"Hahahaha, silly Jiraiya. You misunderstand, I have no secrets when it comes to attracting ladies. I just simply act kind, polite, modest and helpful. And plus, I don't peek at them while they're bathing, Pervy Sage."
"I TOLD YOU COUNTLESS TIMES NOT TO CALL ME THAT!"
"Hahahahahaha. Even when I'm suffering through a problem, I've still got the nerve to make fun of you."
"Oh yeah, well don't get your hopes up. Because something tells me you're gonna need a whole lot of condoms, if you get my drift."
"Not funny." Yoshi said with annoyance.
"So, what are you going to do now?" asked Naruto.
"Well if I know one thing, I'm gonna try and steer clear of any woman who gets within two feet of me. I don't care how hard it'll be, but at least it'll be worth the effort."
He then began walking over to a window.
"Why are you going over to the window?" asked Tsunade.
"Because I can't take the risk of possibly running into a woman down the hall if I leave through the doorway. So just to be safe, I'm going out the window."
But before he did, he decided to say something else.
"One more thing. I should point out that no one knows that it's me. Until I can change back, I want you to refer to me as Manachi Ihsoy."
"Your secret is safe with me." said Tsunade.
"Naruto, meet me outside."
"No problem." said Naruto as he headed out the doorway.
After that, Yoshi climbed out the window and jumped down from the building. After making sure the coast was clear, Yoshi sighed with relief.
Meanwhile, Naruto was on his way down the hall towards the exit. By the time he made it outside, Yoshi was there waiting for him.
"Okay, that didn't go as well as I expected." said Yoshi.
"So now that we're done in there, what's next?" asked Naruto.
"I was thinking about going down to the Hot Springs to relax for a while."
"That's fine, go ahead. Just be careful in case someone follows you in there."
"That's the last thing I'd want to happen."
After saying their goodbyes, Yoshi headed off for the his destination.
"I really do hope that none of these women will be crazy enough to follow him to the Hot Springs." said Naruto to himself before walking in the opposite direction.
But little did either of them know that their whole conversation was overheard by a female whom was hidden within a dark alley nearby.
"Manachi-kun is going to the Hot Springs. Ooh, how grand. This is my big chance, hehehehehehehe." she giggled in a pervy tone.
Later at the Hot Springs...
"Ah, this feels so much better. Nothing like a good dip in some nice and hot water to soothe my troubles away." sighed Yoshi as he basked in the waters of the Hot Springs.
"Gee, none of this stuff would be happening if only I had listened to Naruto when he warned me. Now thanks to my own foolishness, I'd gonna be trapped in this body for who knows how long. If I hadn't learned the Transformation Jutsu in the first place, I would have been safe from all this." he thought.
The whole time he was bathing, he failed to sense that someone was already in the bath with him, yet they were currently unseen at the moment due to the steam around the area. But Yoshi was so busy lounging that he didn't bother to notice. However, he was bound to catch on at some point.
"This is great. The steamy water really hits the spot. The way it cleans my skin, calms my nerves, helps me relax, rubs up my legs and-"
He then realized something wasn't right.
"Wait a minute, this doesn't add up. Water can't just suddenly start rubbing up someone's legs."
At that very moment, something dawned on him. He looked down to notice a gathering of small bubbles forming on the surface in front of him. As he leaned down to look closer, he was taken by surprise as Sakura Haruno popped her head out of the water and smiled at him.
"Hi handsome." she greeted sexily.
"AAAAAHHHH, YOU AGAIN." he screamed.
"I couldn't resist. I'm drawn to you."
The moment she rose out the water, Yoshi almost nearly had a nosebleed when he saw her wet, sexy, naked body.
"Hang on, what are you even doing in here?"
"Well it's obvious, isn't it?" she asked as she moved towards him.
"This is the men's side. Women aren't allowed here." he reminded her while moving backwards.
"Actually, this week is mixed bath week, which means we can bathe together whenever we want."
"Oh great, I can't even go to the Hot Springs to be safe. This is so embarrassing."
He soon found himself cornered up against a wall, with nowhere else left to go as Sakura was closing in on him. He shivered uncomfortably when he felt her body press up against his.
"Aw what's the matter honey, are you embarrassed to see me naked?" she teased while rubbing up his chest.
"What gave it away?"
"Maybe you'll feel better after I give you a big kiss."
"A KISS, BUT YOU BARELY KNOW ME." he screamed with alarm.
"I know you enough that I can't resist your good looks." she replied while cupping his face in her hands.
"Sakura, please. Let's talk about this."
"Pucker up sweetie."
Yoshi didn't have a chance to act as Sakura leaned in and placed her lips on his, kissing him with the utmost passion. He groaned with dismay as she kissed him and rubbed her body on him, becoming more and more uncomfortable. When she entered her tongue into the kiss, his eyes were wider than two plates.
As she kissed him, she began to run one hand down his muscles, rubbing at his chest, pecs and abs. But she soon hit a nerve when she reached under the water to tug at the towel that Yoshi had wrapped around his waist. He instantly broke the kiss and slid away from her.
"HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" he screamed.
"Why waste time with a towel on when we can both bathe naked?"
"How I choose to bathe is my business."
"Come on, give your little buddy some fresh air."
"Little buddy?"
"You know, your *little buddy*."
"What are you getting-"
Yoshi suddenly tensed up when he understood what she meant.
"Oh god no."
"Oh god yes." Sakura countered.
"I'm getting out of here."
But the moment he turned around to climb out the water, he found himself getting his face caught between a pair of breasts, which belonged to Ino Yamanaka, whom was also naked without a towel.
"Hey there sexy, it looks like you were expecting me." greeted Ino.
"OH DEAR GOD!" he yelled while stumbling backwards, falling into Sakura's open arms.
"Ino-pig, what are you doing here?" asked a frustrated Sakura.
"I'm here for Manachi-kun, billboard brow." she answered back.
"Well get lost, he and I are busy."
"Oh no we aren't." Yoshi said before slipping out of her grasp and attempting to leave, only for Ino to move in front of him.
"Where do you think you're going big boy?" asked Ino.
"I'm getting out of here, I can take it anymore."
Yoshi then went around her and attempted to climb out once more. But just as he did so, his towel came loose and fell from his waist, revealing his body entirely.
"Yikes, my towel came off." he said in a frightened tone. He turned his head slowly to look at the two kunoichi, noticing the excited looks on their faces.
"OOOOH BABY, HE'S HOT." squealed Sakura.
"WOW, HOT AND SPICY." squealed Ino.
"I am so outta here." Yoshi panicked.
Yoshi attempted to make his getaway, but was jumped on from behind by an overly excited and lovesick Ino.
"Manachi-kun, I must have you, now." she cooed.
"Get off of me Ino, get off."
"Oh Manachi-kun." Sakura cooed childishly with lust as she latched onto him from the front.
"Let me go. This is very awkward."
"Take me with you Manachi-kun." they both swooned.
Yoshi began struggling to get them off as he tried to make his escape, but due to the added weight from the two females attached to him, he began to lose his balance, stumbling until he fell into the water. Upon resurfacing, Yoshi finally managed to shake off both Sakura and Ino before climbing back out, grabbing his towel and rushing out of the area.
"WAIT, MANACHI-KUUUUN!" screamed both kunoichi.
After drying himself off in the locker room, Yoshi began to get dressed.
"Getting hit on and molested by girls is bad enough, but that was just a total living nightmare back there. Stupid Jiraiya, telling me I have to wait for about a month or more until my chakra is back under control. Anyway, I better get out of here before those two lovesick kunoichi come in here."
"Manachi-kuuuuun, if you come back, I'll let you play with my breasts." Ino called from outside.
"Forget Ino-pig, you can play with my breasts anytime you want." Sakura called.
Yoshi grimaced with discomfort.
"Eww, that is just sick and disgusting. These two need to show some restraint, they're ninja for god's sake. Now I'm starting to feel sick to my stomach."
Once he was fully dressed, Yoshi immediately exited the locker room and left the Hot Springs in a rush.
"That was the most awkward moment I've ever been in. As long as I don't run into them or any other kunoichi, I'm in the clear."
But as he started to calm down, someone grabbed him around the waist. It turned out to be Ino, whom was fully re-dressed.
"Hey Manachi-kun." she greeted.
Without even so much as a word, Yoshi zipped out of her grasp and ran down the path.
"Men. I just love it when they play hard to get."
Meanwhile, Naruto just happened to be walking down another path when he suddenly spotted Yoshi rushing by from a block away. Not long afterwards, he also spotted Ino going by a few seconds later.
"Uh oh. Looks like I better do something." said Naruto.
Yoshi continued to run along the path, with Ino still on his trail. All the while, Naruto was navigating across the rooftops in an effort to keep up with them. There were hardly any villagers walking around at the time. In fact, there was no one around at all.
However, along the way, Yoshi soon viewed Sakura up ahead, coming out of an alley.
"That's it, come to Sakura." she said as she opened her arms, closed her eyes and puckered her lips, preparing to kiss him the moment she caught him.
Seeing her up ahead made Yoshi think back to how Anko had used the exact same method to catch him when she was chasing him through Anime Town. This time, he was prepared.
"Oh no, I'm not getting caught like that again." Yoshi said.
Just as he was in range, Yoshi made a large jump, moving completely beyond her reach before landing back down on his feet, proceeding to continue running.
"Hahahaha, nice try. But I'm more smarter than that." Yoshi bragged while looking back at her.
But he was so busy bragging that he wasn't paying attention as he suddenly tripped over his own feet and went slamming face down to the ground. He groaned in frustration at his own clumsiness and recklessness.
"Next time I'll do less bragging and focus more on just running." said Yoshi to himself.
He tried to get up, only to be forced back down. He lifted his head and turned to see Ino sitting on top of him.
"Gotcha, big boy." said Ino.
"Let me go, let me go, let me go." Yoshi said while struggling.
"Say please first."
"Ino, come on, let me go." Yoshi whined.
"Say please and I'll let you go like a good boy."
"Ino?"
"Say it."
"I'm begging you."
"SAY IT!"
"Fine. Ino, please let me go."
"There, now was that so hard?"
"Yes."
Ino climbed off of him, allowing him to move. But as he was getting up, Ino suddenly flipped him on his back and climbed on top of him again, pinning him down by his hands.
"Hey, you tricked me!"
"I just wanted to turn you over so I could look at that incredibly handsome face of yours."
"You are just really persistent, you know that?"
"Why thank you. Now then, how about a kiss?"
In an effort to avoid being kissed, Yoshi tried to talk his way out of it.
"Wait, wait, hang on. We don't have to kiss, we can just sit somewhere and talk, you know. We could get to know each other, find out our hobbies and interests. If you let me go, I'll treat us to some lunch."
But Ino didn't fall for it, she had come too far to be fooled that easily.
"Ah ah ah, I'm not falling for that ruse."
"Ino, wait-"
When he noticed her face leaning in towards his, he tried to turn his face to the side. But he didn't do it fast enough as Ino captured his lips with her own, kissing him with deep passion. Before she could do anything else, Sakura came marching up and grabbed her by the ponytail, throwing her off of him.
"STAY AWAY FROM MANACHI-KUN, HE'S MINE!" Sakura screamed.
"I never thought I'd say this, but thank you Sakura. I appreciate that you saved me." said Yoshi as he got up.
"How about thanking me with a kiss?" she requested.
"Oh come on, haven't I had enough kisses for one day?"
"We could always finish our little session in the Hot Springs."
"Oh god, no thanks. On second thought, maybe one kiss on the cheek will do."
"I didn't say a kiss on the cheek."
"Don't tell me, you mean on the lips?"
"That's right. I want another taste of those delicious lips you've got."
"OH NO YOU DON'T!" screamed Ino who stepped in between them, facing Sakura.
"GET LOST INO-PIG!"
"I'M NOT LEAVING WITHOUT MANACHI-KUN!"
"HE BELONGS WITH ME!"
"UH-UH, HE'S MINE!"
"MINE!"
"Ladies?" Yoshi tried to intervene.
"HE LIKES ME MORE, BILLBOARD BROW!"
"NO HE LIKES ME BETTER, INO-PIG!"
"Ladies!" Yoshi tried again.
"BILLBOARD BROW!"
"INO-PIG!"
"BILLBOARD BROW!"
"INO-PIG!"
"BILLBOARD BROW!"
Yoshi finally lost his patience.
"LADIES, ENOUGH!" he screamed in frustration.
They turned to look at him.
"I am so sick of you two fighting over me. Honestly, you behave more like love crazed school girls than actual kunoichi. Just act your age and stop being so childish. You two have been after me the whole time I've been here, and I'm tired of it. I know you both like me, but even a guy like me deserves to have some privacy. So I would appreciate it if you'd give me some personal space, that's all I want, case closed!" Yoshi scolded.
The two kunoichi just stood there, completely speechless. Neither of them expected Yoshi to speak to them in such a manner, nor did they realize it.
"Listen, if I was too hard on you, then I apologize. I never meant to sound mean or anything, I only wanted you to understand that I-"
But he stopped upon seeing the dreamy looks on their faces.
"Uh, ladies?"
"Manachi-kuuuun." they both cooed with affection.
"Oh no. No, no, no, that just made it worse." Yoshi whined.
"Manachi-kun, chu."
("Chu" means kiss in japanese)
His eyes became wide with fright when they both started leaning in for a kiss.
"Now would be a good time for someone to help me."
And that help came in the form of Naruto, who jumped down from a rooftop.
"Sorry ladies." said Naruto as he grabbed Yoshi by the arm and went running off.
"NARUTO!" they screamed with rage.
"Thanks for getting me out of there Naruto. I thought they nearly had me." said Yoshi.
"No problem, don't mention it."
But they didn't have long to relax as they suddenly heard the shouting of two furious kunoichi coming from behind them.
"NARUTO YOU IDIOT, COME BACK HERE WITH MANACHI-KUN!" yelled an outraged Sakura whom was chasing them.
"Oh no, this is when Sakura is at her most angriest. If she catches me, she'll beat me into a coma." Naruto said with fear.
"You think that's worst. Try being alone in the Hot Springs when she's trying to put the moves on you while attempting to take off your towel." Yoshi spoke up.
"NARUTOOOOO, YOU ARE SO DEAD!" yelled an equally furious Ino, whom was pursuing them as well.
"Great, now Ino wants to kill me too."
"We gotta lose them Naruto. I cannot afford to risk getting caught again."
"But how?"
"Wait a minute, I think I know how."
Focusing his chakra to some degree, Yoshi made a quick stop and pressed his hand down on the ground.
"SUMMONING JUTSU!"
He was soon engulfed in a cloud of smoke. And before long, he came bursting out of it riding on the back of a large raptor, with Naruto jumping on soon after. Within seconds, they were able to get further away from Sakura and Ino, who could not keep up with the fast moving dinosaur.
"Alright, now we're on a roll." Yoshi said with a grin.
"But how can you still use a jutsu if your chakra is out of control?" asked Naruto.
"I didn't think of it until now. I'm just glad that I still can, even though I can't change back yet."
Once they were fully out of range, Sakura and Ino both came to a stop.
"Aw, he got away again." whined Sakura.
"I almost had him. This is so unfair." complained Ino.
Later on that day...
A few hours after they had escaped, Yoshi and Naruto, with Tsunade's permission, made their way to Shukuba Town to recover.
However, just a few minutes before they left for Shukuba Town, the two were able to gather up some of their much needed belongings from their houses. As an example, with some limited effort, Yoshi had managed to make it to his house in the village without being spotted, fearing the possibility of someone following him there. After packing up, he and Naruto went off to their destination.
"Man, I thought we'd never get away from them." said Yoshi while he and Naruto were walking through the town.
"I'll say. They were totally nuts about you." replied Naruto.
"I noticed. At least they don't know where we went, so that way they can't follow us."
"Well, as long as were here, we could check into a hotel or something. You know, just a place where we can relax after all that commotion earlier."
"I couldn't agree more."
But they were unaware that someone was stalking them. Even though Yoshi was warned by his Super Sense, he decided to ignore it and continue on.
However, like usual, everywhere he went he was stared and gawked at by women. In fact, some of them even had the nerve to walk up and start hitting on him. Others would try to kiss him while the rest would make sexual gestures near him.
After having walked for about 7 more minutes, Yoshi and Naruto finally came to a stop in front of a fancy looking, 3 story hotel.
"Well, what do you think Naruto, should we go in?"
"It's worth a try."
Neither of them noticed the mystery person that was watching them as they went in. The figure smiled deviously before proceeding to move on further.
Inside the hotel, Yoshi and Naruto walked up to front desk and ringed the bell. They were soon greeted by a female receptionist who came out from the back.
"Hello there, how may I help you?" she greeted with a kind and gentle tone.
"We'd like to check into one of the available rooms here." announced Naruto.
"And how long will you be staying for?"
"One night only." Yoshi said.
"Are you sure about that?"
"Yes, why?"
"Because we have a special this month. All rooms are available full time for only 10 ryo."
"Hmm, I never would have guessed."
"Are you and your friend interested?"
"Gee, full time rooms for such a low price seems kind of uncommon for a special."
"I'm only doing my job you know. Also because I think you're really cute."
"Um, thanks. Right back at ya."
"Thanks, um, what's your name?"
"Manachi Ihsoy."
"And your friend?"
"Naruto Uzumaki."
"Alright then, now let's get you set up."
They payed the exact price, signed their names on the list and received their room key, which was for a room on the third floor. Going up two flights of stairs, they finally arrived at their designated room, which was marked "9C". Upon walking in, they found the room to have two separate beds, a balcony, a bathroom, a closet and a TV, as well as kitchen.
"This place looks like it'll do just fine." said Naruto.
"Yeah, I actually feel much safer here without any women to swoon over me." Yoshi replied.
Later after getting settled in, Naruto had left the room to go walking through the town while Yoshi chose to stay and relax. Because of all the craziness that ensued earlier, he needed time to get some much deserved rest. As he lied down on his bed, he started thinking.
"First Rangiku, then Anko, then Ayame, and now Sakura and Ino. I don't know how much longer I can take this much pressure. Not only that, I'm still shocked from the fact that I actually enjoyed that kiss with Anko earlier. But what really confuses and disturbs me is why these women always get so obsessed and love driven when they take one look at me." he thought to himself.
"It sure feels nice to finally have some time alone. I'm not sure when Naruto will be back, but at least I can get in some relaxation. But still, I can't help feeling sorry for always running away from those ladies. I know they mean well, and their kisses are so passionate, and their looks are to die for, not to mention they're so sexy and-"
Yoshi's face: (O_O)
Yoshi stopped upon hearing what he had just said.
"What's the matter with me, I'm starting to sound like I'm attracted to them. Well, I can't really blame them, they are quite a sight for sore eyes. I'm not sure which one I could settle for, but I'm still open to suggestions and-"
Yoshi once again stopped himself. Without warning, he slapped himself in the face.
"I can't believe that I actually said that. Like I'd actually date either of them, I think not. Rangiku's too clingy, Anko's too scary, I don't know what to say about Ayame, Sakura's too temperamental, and I can't say much about Ino. All in all, I just can't stand being around either of them when I'm like this, because they're beyond reasoning."
After 2 hours had passed, Yoshi eventually drifted off to sleep. Naruto still hadn't came back yet, which meant that everything was quiet at the moment.
At least up until now. As he continued snoozing, he paid no mind to the fact that someone had managed to sneak in the room.
Turning his head to the left, he suddenly felt something soft touch his lips. Upon opening his eyes, he found that he was being kissed. And the person kissing him turned out to be Anko Mitarashi.
"Hey there sleepy boy." she greeted after breaking the kiss.
"A-a-a-a-a-" He stuttered with fright.
"What's the matter, you missed me so much that you're speechless?" she teased.
"H-h-h-how d-d-d-d-did you get in here?"
"A little something called a balcony."
"But how is that-, oh wait."
"Kunoichi, remember?"
"How did you find me?"
"You ever hear the phrase, *stalk*?"
"You stalked me?"
"I've been stalking you for about an entire day now, and you never even knew it until now."
"Does that mean you also peeked at me while I was in the Hot Springs earlier?" he asked with a disturbed tone.
"Peek is such a silly word. I prefer to say that I was merely watching over you with anticipation."
"Which means that you did peek."
"Yeah, pretty much."
"I'm afraid to ask, but how much did you see?"
"Besides seeing your towel fall off, I saw everything."
"Oh great, now I feel more uncomfortable than ever."
"Not to worry, you'll feel better really soon."
She then moved herself on top of him, looking him straight in the eye while licking her lips.
"Wait, what are you doing?"
"You and me are gonna have some real fun."
Yoshi gulped nervously before she leaned down and started kissing at his at neck.
"Anko wait, there's another way to work this out."
"Whatever it is, not interested." she said in between kisses.
"But, but, I can assure you that it'll be-"
He stopped halfway when he let out a moan.
"Ooh, someone's enjoying the attention."
Anko we can't-, not here. It just doesn't seem-, ah."
"I'm sorry, what is it you're saying?"
"I just- ah, don't think- oh, this is what we need- mm."
Yoshi was finding it difficult to resist as Anko trailed her kisses along his neck. Try as he might, he just couldn't keep himself from letting out another moan. He actually felt himself giving in to her, his inner desires were beginning to rise to the surface.
"M-m-m-more." he uttered out.
"I beg your pardon?" asked an obviously aware Anko as she lifted her head up to face him.
"M-m-more. I want more, I need more."
"What is it you want?"
"I want you, I must have you. Gimme what I want, please."
"Are you sure?" she teased him.
Yoshi ultimately proved his point by flipping her over on her back, switching their positions.
"I can't take it anymore, I want you. And I will have you, now." he said with dominance and lust in his voice.
"What the hell are you doing, have you lost your mind?"
"Do you really really want me?"
"Yes, I do."
"No you don't you jackass!"
"Do you want to strip me?"
"Either that or I'll let you do it yourself."
"You don't need to do either one, IDIOT!"
"Do you wanna kiss me and make me feel good?"
"Hell yeah."
"NOOOOOO!"
Yoshi wasted no time in kissing Anko with wild passion, with Anko responding by wrapping her arms around his neck and sliding her tongue into his mouth. Afterwards, things really took off from there.
Well everybody, here's the second chapter.
Sorry it took so long.
At least now we know the reason for Yoshi being the way he is. And he now has to wait for a month or more like Jiraiya told him. But he can still use jutsu, which is somewhat relieving for him. And he just found out that Naruto had gone through a similar problem in the past, but didn't mention it to him until Jiraiya brought it up.
Plus, he's now got Ayame, Sakura and Ino swooning over him. Not to mention that Anko has been stalking him for hours and now she's got him right where she wants him. And strangely, he's actually giving in to her despite his own mind screaming at him not to. Things just aren't becoming as easy as he thinks, especially with all these females wanting to get their hands on him.
Will Naruto ever come back?
Because if he does, he may be in for the shock of a lifetime.
And just to let you all know, they're will be more girls from other anime and manga besides those from Naruto.
