Naruto and Kiba: They had just made it into their room after dinner, and now it was time to satisfy another appetite. Kiba was the one currently exploring Naruto's mouth as he shut the door and locked it. The blond finally broke off.
"You're a bit more desirous than usual," he noted. "May I help you with that?" Kiba grinned deviously before he brought Naruto's tongue into a fight for dominance. He lost this time as the fox-boy walked them over to the bed. Kiba was laid down on his back and his hands restrained by Naruto's as the blond leaned over him and ravished his mouth. Naruto found these games to be more fun than he originally expected, but he backed off and let them both take in some air before climbing onto the bed.
"Sorry Kiba, but I do need to do that training before we do our thing," the blond spoke sadly as he remembered his new mother's teachings. Naruto forced himself through seventy of each exercise: pushups, sit-ups, vertical crunches, and a whole seven minutes of a bridge. The only upside to this was that Naruto's sweat smelled sweetly intoxicating to his waiting mate. After getting his breath back, Kiba crawled over to Naruto, starting their session again. He kissed the blond fiercely before backing off and taking a look at his pleased alpha.
"Let's get you out of these clothes," the brunette said suggestively as he began pulling up the blond's shirt. They weren't wearing headbands, choosing to leave them on the dresser unless they went out into the village. Naruto shivered lightly from the contact, and Kiba used what Gino explained to really enjoy it. His nails were slightly long, so he lightly tickled up Naruto's sides until he met the chest. After this, Naruto's squirming had become too much, and his shirt was simply removed and tossed in a corner. It was now Kiba's turn, and Naruto chose to remove his tops quickly so that they could move on. "Apparently I'm not the only one who wants this," his brunette spoke with a sly grin. Naruto pulled him close and kissed him lightly, and Kiba got the message that things were a bit too lusty. He put a leash on his hormones and remembered just who it was with him. The dog-boy reached his hand down and lovingly massaged the seal; it was strange to them all, Naruto, Kiba, and Kyuubi…that he could control how Naruto felt through this mark. A lusty touch brought pleasure, a hesitant one brought confidence, and when Kiba was trying to express his love through it, his blond mate felt every ounce of it.
"I love you Kiba," Naruto told him as he softly broke the kiss. He smiled happily at his brother, crush, and lover, and he used a thumb to trace the clan markings. After they had just calmed down, the two boys began letting passion take hold again. Naruto snaked his hand under Kiba's pants and gripped him through his boxers, causing him to shake and moan. "Let's see what I'm working with." He unzipped Kiba's pants and eased them off over the smooth red fabric of his boxers. They had abandoned their shoes earlier, so that meaningless obstacle didn't stand in their way. Kiba, not ever to be so easily outdone, groped Naruto's inner thigh, causing the blond's legs to clench on his hand. The blond moaned from this, and then he looked at Kiba mischievously. He eventually let the dog-boy remove his hand, and Kiba undid the button on Naruto's pants before unzipping and sliding them off.
"Hmm, those are the gold and black ones I bought you," he commented. "Do you like them?" Naruto grinned and nodded before working his way on top of Kiba and kissing him. "I guess that's a yes." The blond kissed him passionately and rubbed the left red triangle for a while, but desire caught him, and Naruto rubbed their still clothed crotches together. Kiba moaned at this, but eventually, Naruto noticed his kiss becoming less involved.
"Something wrong Kiba?" the blond asked as he stopped all movement and moved a stray hair out of his mate's eye. The brunette blushed and looked into the sheet next to him. "Come on, you can tell me. I won't laugh, and you know I listen."
"Well," the Inuzuka began. "Naruto, do you think…I could maybe top…just for tonight?" The blond's curious expression didn't change, but Kyuubi started yelling at the blond as though the world was ending.
"No…nonononononono, NO!" The fox told his container sternly. "You're the alpha both by blood and by earning it. Deny his request. I will not subject myself to being taken by a human, such an unsure one at that."
"Shut up you whiny jerk," his vessel told him as he lightly took Kiba's lips in his own, a loving and soft kiss. "This is my relationship, not yours, and it's me he's having sex with, not you. Love is supposed to be mutual. I'd be a pretty terrible partner if I denied him the access to my body that he gives me so willingly."
"Fine, but don't come whining to me when your ass hurts badly enough that you're in tears," Kyuubi ended before he turned off the mental link. Naruto smiled lightly, and Kiba's eyes dropped a bit, thinking that his request would be denied.
"Sure Kiba," Naruto finally replied. "I just had to break it to Kyuubi." The brunette smiled widely before taking his mate in a passionate kiss, still lying beneath him. "Just ask if you ever want to; I probably won't say no." Kiba received a light and loving kiss from his alpha, before Naruto switched their positions in the blink of an eye. "Have at me," he said encouragingly. The truth was, Kiba was a bit nervous to try this, but he mimicked what he had felt from Naruto, and he rubbed their clothed erections together, haphazardly grinding into Naruto. After a short while though, he got the hang of it, and Naruto moaned into his mouth after the first dead-on stroke.
"You're a lot better at this than I am," the brunette admitted.
"So?" Naruto asked. "I had a mentor; you didn't. This'll be a learning experience." Kiba nodded before moving to Naruto's side and turning the blond. He brought their bodies close and distracted Naruto with a kiss as he dipped his hand beneath his boxers and slid them down over Naruto's well-toned ass. His alpha was now completely exposed, and Naruto did him the same favor not long after. This was where experimentation came into play. Kiba once again put himself on top of Naruto and grabbed both erections in his left hand. Naruto shivered from this, and he moaned once the Inuzuka started hesitantly pumping. It was simple double pleasuring, so Kiba quickly gained confidence. He backed down a ways and spread the blond's legs, but then he remembered something important.
"I'm an idiot," he said aloud. Kiba crawled over to his nightstand and picked up the bottle of lubricant that their mother had bought them. "That would have hurt a lot if we hadn't used this," Kiba spoke as he lightly shook the bottle from side to side in his hand. He opened the cap and put a few drops of the slippery gel onto his main fingers.
"It doesn't take very much," Naruto told him as he supported himself on his elbows. The brunette nodded and started spreading the lube between his three main fingers evenly. "Just put the extra in anyway."
"Yeah, you're still a virgin," Kiba said deviously as he placed his index finger at the entrance. Naruto knew instinctively to relax, and Kiba knew to keep his mate distracted and happy. He took the blond's lips and asked for entrance. Naruto let him explore, and then he felt the push of Kiba's finger. He tensed at first, but Kiba just continued slowly sliding it inward. Naruto's face contorted from the odd and slightly painful feeling, and that was when the brunette stopped. "Did that hurt?" he asked guiltily.
"If I tense up, just give me a sec so my body adjusts please," Naruto told him before taking a deep breath. Kiba started making submissive noises and nuzzled his neck in apology. After Naruto's insides loosened, the brunette finished inserting his finger and licked his neck. Naruto tilted his chin up and took Kiba's lips in his own as the boy started slowly thrusting the finger in and out of the blond. The first couple of passes had to stop short because Naruto tensed, but after a short while, he had adjusted. Kiba then began inserting his middle finger. A tear escaped Naruto from being stretched, but it was quickly kissed away as Kiba also halted his advance.
"You alright?" he asked. Naruto just sat there for about ten seconds before Kiba felt his insides release their grip. "I'll go slow." He caressed Naruto's seal to give him comfort and kissed him lovingly as his finger slipped the rest of the way in without trouble. The dog-boy remembered how Naruto had stretched him out and prepared him, and so he started a scissoring motion. After a solid twenty seconds, his index finger brushed Naruto's inner organ, causing him to tense and moan from the touch.
"Kiba," he moaned. The Inuzuka was allowed to continue this scissoring, and he made sure to get a well-rounded preparation. A few stray touches eventually let Kiba know exactly where Naruto's pleasure center resided. The blond held his head and kissed him deeply, and Kiba inserted his third finger. His mate's facial features contorted a bit as a couple of tears escaped him, but he knew how to deal with this. "Just give me a minute," Naruto told him with a bit of strain in his voice. Kiba licked his neck lovingly and gave Naruto's stalwart manhood a few soft strokes. He finally relaxed, and Kiba buried his third finger at last.
"Well, it would have hurt a whole lot more if we had just started," the brunette told him. Naruto nodded. The pain was slowly dying off and giving way to pleasure. His mate began the final round of stretching, and he met the blond's prostate several times before he was finished. Naruto groaned from having the fingers exit him, but Kiba took his lips softly before going back over to the nightstand and grabbing the lube. "Just get an even coat?" he asked, receiving a nod in return. Kiba was highly surprised that applying the lubricant caused such pleasure, but he made sure to not get lost in it. He used just a tad more than Naruto did simply because the blond was still a virgin on this end, but he replaced the cap before working his way back to his awaiting partner. The fox-boy lifted his legs to Kiba's shoulders, but the Inuzuka looked hesitant. "I'll do my best to go slow."
"It's not like you can just break me," Naruto said humorously, but he truly was worried about how much this might hurt. His mate placed the tip of his shaft at Naruto's entrance and took hold of his hips. "It takes more force than you think, but be careful." Kiba nodded before pulling Naruto onto himself while also trying to push himself in. The blond's insides almost immediately clenched down, and the brunette had to stop at hearing Naruto's painful moans.
"Naruto, I'm sorry," he said desperately. The boy just shook his head with his eyes closed.
"Just give it time. It took a while with you too back in the forest," Naruto responded. Kiba was at a loss. Should he keep going like his mate encouraged him, or should he just back down? "Look, you and I both need this," the blond insisted. "This is what makes the difference between lust and love." He wrapped his arms behind Kiba's neck and kissed him, and the pair fell backward, Kiba's chest now on top of Naruto's. The brunette supported himself with his arms, but Naruto needed to change his position. He got his legs off of his mate's shoulders and put them behind his waist instead. They remained like this and shared reassuring touches and kisses until Naruto's insides felt loose enough for Kiba to continue.
"You're so tight," Kiba hissed as he closed his eyes and lightly bit his lip. It was a gradual process governed by how often Naruto's insides locked around the intrusion. The occasional tear was kissed away by the brunette, and he was patient enough to just let things ease their way into propriety. Before either of them knew it, Kiba was buried completely. "Just say when you're ready." Naruto smiled and nodded before licking Kiba's neck in thanks.
"Go," he said quietly about a minute later. The brunette found that it was easier drawing out than pushing in, but he went at a slow pace so that Naruto could adjust to a moving intrusion. After several passes with cringes in each one, Kiba's member graced Naruto's prostate. "Oh jeez," the blond breathed as his eyes lit up and he smiled. "Aim for that spot Kiba, please." The brunette was happy to oblige, but he still went slowly. After four relieving sighs and shivers from his mate, Kiba gained enough confidence to finally get things moving. He leaned over Naruto and kissed him passionately, licking for entrance as he increased his speed gradually. The blond let him into his mouth, and Kiba ravaged him as he drew almost completely out and then shot back in. Naruto arched, but Kiba was ready and bent back so that their heads wouldn't smash together. "God Kiba," the blond panted before collapsing backward. His mate chose to let him regain his breath while he slowly and softly thrusted into Naruto. This was like the first time in the woods. Naruto had left lust out of the equation and focused on his partner's feelings, and now his beta was lovingly returning the favor. You couldn't call this just having sex; this was lovemaking, a whole other plateau accessible to only the most devoted partners.
"You're eyes are so beautiful Naruto," Kiba said softly as he caressed the seal and peered into the cerulean pools. The blond blushed lightly before sharing a light and yet passionate kiss with his lover, grabbing the back of his head in both hands and scrunching his hair slightly. "Shall we continue?" Naruto nodded. Kiba supported himself on his arms and began thrusting into his lover more quickly than before, eventually meeting Naruto's pleasure center dead-on. "Found it," he said quietly and confidently after Naruto yelped. With his angle now set, Kiba struck the sensitive organ every time, sending waves of pleasure through his mate.
"God Kiba I love you," Naruto said quietly after breaking from a heated kiss. They were both nearing release, but Kiba found that he couldn't pleasure Naruto as they currently were. He put the fox-boy on all fours, but then he had Naruto sit on only his knees, as he wrapped the blond's hands behind his own neck, bringing Naruto's back to his own chest so that they were vertical.
"Now I can kiss you as we finish," the brunette said lustily. Naruto shivered from his breath on his neck, but then Kiba's thrusting had him moaning and applying his own effort. The blond took Kiba's lips as the Inuzuka held his hips and pounded into him. Kiba felt his release nearing, so he moved one hand up to Naruto's left nipple and grabbed his manhood with the other. The blond shivered tremendously as Kiba tweaked his rosy bud. "Sensitive?" he asked. Naruto smiled before reclaiming his lover's lips. The brunette was entering the final stages as he pumped, thrusted, and tweaked his fox. "Cum with me Naruto," he said huskily. Those dirty words and that breath made Naruto shiver, and he was tipped over the edge like so many dominoes.
"KIBA!" the blond yelled as his orgasm took him. His lips were reclaimed just before his seed shot over the sheets and hit the headboard. Kiba knew his mate was enjoying this, but he was taken by surprise as the blond's insides closed down on him. His body continued on its own, still managing to pleasure Naruto and milk him of his seed, and Kiba moaned loudly into the kiss as his hot semen spilled into the blond's insides, both of them shivering in ecstasy. A few more thrusts were all Kiba could manage before they lost balance and fell forward into the sheets, pounding his manhood one final time into Naruto's no longer virgin ass. Both boys panted heavily, but Kiba turned his mate's head to look into his eyes. "I…love you Kiba," Naruto panted.
"Me too, thanks a lot Naruto," the brunette said genuinely as he lay on top of his mate. He realized that this was constricting Naruto's breathing however, and so he turned them onto their sides. "I guess I should admit I just felt a bit jealous. Mido manages to get under my skin, but when he made fun of me being the submissive one, I guess it just stuck in my mind, especially after Gino noticed you had a handle on things and voiced it, and I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn't weak. I like it better when you top though. Thanks for just letting me try."
"Don't ever feel less significant Kiba," Naruto told him as he wrapped his arms around his neck. "All you have to do is ask, but if you're really sure I should be the one on top more, I will. We both needed this though, and you did great." He kissed his mate lovingly as Kiba caressed his seal and kissed back. "Would you mind drawing out though?" Kiba blushed, and he did what Naruto asked before noticing the evidence left from their activities. Naruto saw several streaks in the sheets, but there was nothing to be done about those. He haphazardly crawled over to the headboard and took his seed off on his fingers. Naruto took it into his mouth before sharing a hot kiss with his lover, mingling his release in their saliva.
"It's a bit different from mine," Kiba commented. "It's a tad more sour, but I like it." Naruto smiled lightly before they continued their close kiss. The brunette rubbed his seal lovingly, and he stopped only to get them under the covers. "I love you Naruto."
"I love you too Kiba." The pair shared one last loving kiss and touch before smiling and falling into sleep's embrace. Tsume was outside their door again, and she was stunned by what was seen and heard.
"Hmm, you have one Hell of a guy with you Kiba," their mother spoke quietly. "Maybe your relationship will be a bit like Mido's and Gino's. Ya, Naruto will top most of the time, but you'll have your nights. Maybe now Kurumaru will back off."
"Nope," said black wolf said as he appeared in the woman's doorway and looked out at her. "He just let Kiba have his fun, but Naruto already claimed dominance. I'm still gonna deal with him one of these days."
"I'm guessing you're just paying attention to the fact that Naruto was the one taken this time," Tsume replied. "If you were really listening, you might have learned something, but Naruto is still injured, so no fighting it out until I give the go ahead."
"Yes Tsume," Kurumaru whined. He fell asleep at the foot of her bed, and the Inuzuka now mother of three fell asleep. The black wolf did so grudgingly as well. Apart from Naruto and Kiba, two new pairs had formed for this Mating Season so far, and the scents of lovemaking drifted over the entire estate.
The Next Morning: Naruto awoke feeling just slightly sore in his lower region. It took him a couple of seconds to remember how that pain could have occurred. "Aw, still asleep Kiba?" Naruto asked quietly. Receiving no response but even breathing confirmed Naruto's suspicions, so he just lay down next to his slumbering lover. The blond snuggled close, and he nuzzled Kiba's neck. Since the brunette was still sleeping, Naruto decided to pay a visit to Kyuubi. "You awake Kyuu?" he called. A grumble resounded from the fox's cage, and it downed Naruto's spirits. "Are you mad?" the blond asked guiltily.
"Well, yes and no," the fox replied. He stepped into view in his humanoid form. "You can sit down if you want." His vessel smiled lightly and walked in upon invitation. He sat on one of the soft conforming chairs as the redhead sat on his own bed. "Look, I'm sorry that I tried to control your relationship Naruto." WHOOOOOA, hold the phone…Kyuubi was apologizing? "You were right. It's your relationship, not mine; I just have my own issues with dominance. Well, you enjoyed it I see, so I guess I can't complain. But believe me, you're the more dominant male in this relationship. He'll want you to top a lot more often, and don't forget that you guys can do it in my room if you really need privacy."
"Thanks for being so mature Kyuu," Naruto told him. "And I'll keep that in mind." Naruto lightly traced one of Kiba's triangle marks, and the boy seemed to purr in his sleep from the contact. He was just happy to be laying with Kiba; as long as Naruto felt accepted, the rest didn't matter. That was probably the one thing holding his hormones in check, but it worked. The blond put his soft head on Kiba's chest and just went with the flow of his breathing. A few minutes later though, his stepbrother stirred.
"Ah…hAAaoooh," he yawned. Kiba cracked his neck from side to side before looking down and seeing his beloved nested on him so perfectly. He ran his hand over the blond spikes, and Naruto picked up his head, allowing shining blue eyes to meet the content slits of his mate. "Morning sunshine," the brunette teased. Naruto kissed him lightly on the lips, and Kiba happily returned it. "Sleep well?" His blond nodded in reply as one of his hands moved up to Kiba's chest and rested there.
"I slept great, and congratulations about last night," Naruto told him. He lightly massaged Kiba's right shoulder and chest muscle, and the brunette moved his hand to Naruto's seal. They shared a passionate kiss and touching session before Naruto broke off and smiled. "If my head's all better, we can get to training today, real training. Sakura kind of taught me how to focus my chakra during a punch, but I'm not very good at it."
"We still have that book of really simple jutsu too," Kiba reminded him. He felt the ends of his fingers grace his mate's pubic hairs, and he lightly felt over the soft fur. "Why do you suppose you're so soft down here?" Kiba asked Naruto, making him blush.
"I don't know," he replied with a small smile. "It's not like you're rough though." Kiba smiled lightly at the compliment and shared another loving kiss with his lover. "What time is it?" the blond asked. Kiba got up and looked at his alarm clock.
"It's a little bit after seven, so we should probably get dressed and shower," Kiba replied. When he turned back to Naruto, he found a very devious look upon it. "Oh," he said suggestively, knowing the intentions but not what might actually occur. Kiba took a dominated kiss from Naruto before unwrapping them both from the sheets. His mate's form stunned him to no end. "You're so perfect looking you know that?" Kiba asked, receiving a smile and a nuzzling session in return.
"You're not too bad yourself you know," Naruto replied as he pressed his hands into Kiba's abdominals and worked on them. "But yes, a shower we need. Let's try and get to the shower without Mom catching us."
"Don't even bother," Tsume said from the unlocked and open doorway. She was smiling and seemed to be examining her two boys. Naruto hugged Kiba possessively and smiled. "He was my son first," the woman spoke humorously mock-challenging him. "After your shower, Naruto, be ready for a food marathon." The blond's expression dropped.
"Kami-Sama help me," he asked quietly with a small smile. Naruto tried pulling Kiba out of the bed, but his mate was still too insecure about his body. "Come on Kiba…fine," Naruto said flatly when he got no response. He bent over and lightly teethed Kiba's right ear, making his muscles go nuts with twitching and giggling. Tsume smirked at how talented Naruto was at getting her real son out of bed. Kiba looked mad, but there wasn't a thing he could do. "Now come on, shower," Naruto commanded. Kiba groaned, but then Naruto spanked him lightly of all things, shocking both the brunette and his mom who now had a slight nosebleed. Kiba finally ran off to his mother's bathroom, and Naruto smiled at Tsume before following him.
"WooOOOOOOooow," was all she could say as she stood alone in the room. "Naruto, you sure know how to be an Inuzuka, but that was just…hot." It shamed the woman to admit it, but she actually enjoyed watching Naruto being horny around her son. "And to think five days ago I nearly killed him over the same thing." She closed the door behind her and went downstairs to prepare breakfast. Kurumaru was kept down there as well so as to avoid confrontation. Meanwhile, Kiba had already turned on the warm water, but he stood outside the shower as he waited for Naruto.
"Sorry about that, did it hurt?" the blond asked genuinely as he walked into the bathroom and shut the door. Kiba pretended to be a hurt puppy, and Naruto kissed him lovingly as a reward. "I don't know what came over me, but you were being so stubborn. Why are you afraid to be exposed in front of your mother?"
"Afraid, no…embarrassed because she invades my personal space too much, yes," his brunette partner told him as they stepped into the shower and closed the plastic door. "I mean, it's like she just wants to see it for her own weird reasons."
"I am sorry that your dad left," Naruto said concernedly. Those words struck a chord in Kiba's heart, and he turned to the blond with a slightly morose look. "You probably remind her of him in the way you look, but I think she just wants you to grow up and be an incredible guy, better than your dad. But really, can you blame her for keeping an eye on you?"
"I guess not," Kiba answered. "But she still shouldn't just bust in like that."
"Oh live with it," Naruto told him as he claimed the brunette's lips passionately beneath the warm stream. "You let me see you and even go forty steps further than that, and I'm not even in your family really. It just doesn't make sense to me. Maybe if you actually go about flaunting it for a day, she'll leave you alone thinking it doesn't bother you." Kiba looked at Naruto as though he thought the blond was off his rocker. "It's something like reverse, reverse psycho…reverse psychotherapology or something like that. Adults sometimes use it to get kids to do jobs that they would normally refuse. But why are we even wasting time talking?" Kiba shrugged, but his breath hitched when his mate grabbed his currently flaccid organ.
"N-Naruto," he spoke. The blond just shushed him and licked his neck seductively as he started awakening Kiba's member from its slumber. "What are you doing?" the dog-boy asked in surprise. Naruto claimed his lips in a light kiss before explaining.
"Just having some fun," the blond replied when he gave the only half hard organ a squeeze and a forceful pump, making Kiba's hips buck instinctively. He whined as Naruto slowly began jerking him off. "Do you want something Kiba dear?" he asked sadistically. The brunette formed a small snarl and growled, making Naruto giggle until he bit down on the blond's ear. "Hey, ouch Kiba," Naruto half-yelled as his hand shot up and grabbed the dog-boy's chin. The brunette realized the gravity of his action a bit too late as he tasted iron on his tongue. A tear escaped Naruto's eye, and Kiba moved off to see a trail of blood coming from Naruto's left ear on the top.
"Oh my God, I'm so sorry Naruto," Kiba said desperately as the blond moved his fingers up to the wounded area. He hissed from the stinging pain, and Naruto just stared distantly at the blood on his fingers. "Hey, let's get a…ban…dage, Naruto?" Kiba asked. "Your ear's healing up really quickly. Is that Kyuubi?" The boy nodded as he washed his fingers off under the water. "Naruto, I'm really sorry; I don't know what came over me."
"It was instincts," the blond replied as he washed the blood from his now fully healed ear. "I just wasn't listening enough. But I'm fine," he said more brightly and with a smile. "You might want to retract those fangs a bit though." Kiba put his thumb against one of his canines and found that it was very sharp. He concentrated on calming himself down, and the four teeth returned to their original length. "You alright?" Kiba nodded. "Then may I continue?" He received a suggestive smile in return, and Naruto kissed his beta deeply as he began pumping and twisting the now soft again dick. As Kiba hardened slowly, Naruto's movements made him moan in delight. He began thrusting into Naruto's hand, and the blond broke off with a smile. "I can see that you want this, and I can smell it too." It was a good thing they were only using warm water and not completely hot water, or their mom would be pissed when they used up the whole tank.
"Ah, mmm, God Naruto," Kiba half spoke, half moaned to his lover as he was being jerked off. He began thrusting into Naruto's hand, but the blond stopped, making him groan with discontentment. He was nearing release too. That blond guy could be one heck of a jerk when it came to this stuff. That was the second time he stopped.
"What do you want Kiba?" Naruto whispered in his ear as he pumped his mate at an agonizingly slow pace. The dog-boy groaned, but he knew Naruto wouldn't hold this against him if he knew what was good for him.
"I, want to cum Naruto," he said. The blond gave him one hard jerk. "Please," he begged. Naruto reclaimed Kiba's lips, but he let the brunette explore as he resumed his actions. After a solid minute of Kiba thrusting into his hand rhythmically, the dog-boy moaned loudly as he came in Naruto's hand and into the water, dragging his seed into the septic system. "Oooh, Naruto." The blond made sure to milk Kiba for all that he was worth, and he twitched on every hard pump. His organ finally softened, and Naruto put some of the seed in his mouth before letting his mate have a taste. After twenty seconds of passionate, head-holding kissing, Kiba came up with an idea, but he was a tad unsure. Eh, what the Hell? Kiba thought confidently to himself. I can just do the same thing to him if this doesn't work. "Your turn Naruto," the brunette spoke before he went down on his hands and knees. Naruto's eyes widened.
"Are you sure you want to try that?" he asked his mate. Kiba nodded as he looked at Naruto's still soft manhood. Even when he jacked Kiba off completely, he didn't harden at all. The Inuzuka gave a few pleasurable twists to the flexible member, and Naruto threw his head back from the feeling. "If you think you are going to choke or cough, just swallow or remove it Kiba," he said with a strained voice.
"Thanks for the tip," the brunette spoke before he took an only partially hard Naruto completely into his mouth, tearing a shiver and a moan from his alpha as he sucked hard and slow from base to tip before encasing the whole thing again. The blond had a naturally salty taste, but it was subtly mixed with testosterone and other hormones that just drew Kiba crazy. He started by swirling his tongue over Naruto's head and licking the super sensitive spot right beneath the tip of the head.
"Oh Kami," Naruto breathed as he looked back down. He accidentally thrusted into Kiba's untrained mouth, and it almost did make him cough, but the Inuzuka remembered to swallow, and the sensation went away, but Naruto felt the walls move around him like how Kiba had pumped him the night before. "Ah…fffuck!" he breathed. Kiba smiled knowing that his mate was enjoying himself very much, but his shaft was now completely hard and at full nine inches of attention. He stopped, seeing what he had to contend with, and Naruto looked down concernedly. "You don't have to Kiba, really, but if you want to try, just remember to keep swallowing, and angle your head a bit so that I don't smack the back of your neck really hard." The brunette removed Naruto's cock from its hot confines before nodding and taking it back in at Naruto's total satisfaction. "You're amazing at this Kiba," he said as he sighed and lightly thrusted his hips in and out. Hell, this might have been even better than anal sex; Naruto could get used to this. Kiba gradually worked his way farther and farther down Naruto's manhood with each thrust, changing the angle of his neck to better engulf it without choking or getting sore from being hit. He was very pleased when Naruto's crotch hairs finally graced his nose. Said blond boy looked down in amazement.
"Whoa, you actually fit me into your throat!" he exclaimed. "Nicely done." It was truly said in congratulations, no lust, and no sarcasm. Kiba began bobbing his head as he created a light vacuum, and his mate was now in heaven. "Ah, Kiba, so, mghmm," Naruto babbled incoherently. He threw his head back and opened his mouth in a silent scream as the brunette lightly used his teeth on his shaft. "Fuck that's good." Kiba had gained a lot of confidence from this, but going by the tightness of his mate's sac, he was nearing his own orgasm. Kiba moved his focus back out to the head and the first couple of inches. He wrapped his tongue around the head and took a hold of Naruto's hips haphazardly. "Oh, do you want me to help?" Naruto asked. Kiba hummed a yes as he put his hands back on the tile floor to keep himself balanced. As Naruto began slowly thrusting into his lover's mouth, he felt the tongue grasp his manhood. "God Kiba, I'm gonna lose my mind." The brunette took this as his final encouragement and sucked on Naruto's dick while he bobbed his head in time with the increasing thrusts. Naruto had his hands on the back of Kiba's head now, matching the rhythms perfectly so his mate could focus on the sucking. Kiba began swirling his tongue over the head again, and one perfectly timed sweep over the top sent Naruto over the edge. "Oh, fuck…KIBAAA!" he screamed in ecstasy. Tsume was worried at first when she heard the yell, but the tone made her think deviously to herself, picturing just what could be going on in her shower. Kurumaru grumbled and went out to the porch. "I'm…cumming!" While the brunette understood that much as he bobbed his head over Naruto's now pulsing member, he didn't expect the hot and salty liquid to fire into him and fill his mouth like a hose. "Ah-ha-ah-oh yeaaah," the blond sighed as Kiba milked him for everything he had. Naruto's softening cock slipped out with a pop, but Kiba had one step left. He claimed his dazed mate's lips and slipped half of the liquid into him. They both swallowed a part of Naruto's essence and relished in the taste as their tongues danced. When he broke off, Naruto nearly lost his balance on his jelly legs, but Kiba caught him. "That was freaking amazing," Naruto told him quietly before lovingly kissing his mate once more. "We should do that more often, maybe not always in the shower, but that same stuff." Kiba nodded before he walked over to the built-in bench.
"Time to wash up you dirty little fox," Kiba said with a mischievous smile. Naruto lightly growled and smiled before sitting on his lap and getting his hair shampooed. Ten minutes later, the two boys stepped out of the shower, letting steam fill the room. Hot and steamy, that's how they liked their showers. Naruto and Kiba each grabbed a towel and dried each other off before going to their room and dressing. "I wonder what Mom's got planned for you to eat," Kiba spoke humorously as he put Akamaru is in his sweatshirt.
So, what did you do to make Naruto scream in the shower anyway? the dog asked Kiba. His master blushed. Ah, no need to tell me then.
"Thanks buddy," Kiba told his dog as he lightly scratched him behind the ears with his index finger.
"Alright, I'm good to go," Naruto announced as he finished putting on a black t-shirt with the Leaf Village emblem printed on both sides. "So, just how much…" the blond began as he got to the bottom of the stairs. His view of the table struck him with awe and a touch of fear. "Ugh, I already feel like puking."
"After what I heard of you in the shower, I better not find food or blood up there," their mom spoke with a grin. "Now, I've got five fruit servings here along with four grains and three dairy. The rest of your fruit servings are in baggies that I request you bring back so we can reuse them, and there are cubes of freshly cut cheese in with them. I also know your habit of eating ramen for breakfast, so I made a deluxe ramen…from scratch." Kiba's face paled, but Naruto smiled widely as a rather large bowl was put in front of him.
"Wow, I…don't know what else to say except, thanks," the blond spoke. Tsume patted him roughly on the back before he dug in.
"We might want to have a med team on standby," Kiba suggested with genuine fear in his voice. Tsume bonked him on the head with her fist as Naruto took a bite and…froze? "I should call Tsunade." Naruto swallowed the mix reluctantly, and out of manners, he finished the whole bunch. "Naruto?" Kiba asked.
"Mom?" his brother asked. Tsume turned to him. "I'll give you lessons on how to make ramen, please." Tsume blushed and took a bite only to realize that her work wasn't very good. "Way too much soy, and the chicken was overcooked. Other than that, you do actually have something decent, but the rest of your food I imagine is much better," he said all too confidently and courteously. Naruto tackled three bowls of cereal including blueberries and strawberries along with two glasses of milk.
"That almost completes your dairy servings for the day, so I'll give you some all-fruit bags in place of the extra cheese," Tsume told him. "Now, I do hear Tsunade's got some missions, but we'll get some training in before we go see her about your head. Now, take this apple with you. Kiba said you like Granny Smiths, so I got a bag of four in case you didn't." Naruto happily accepted it and put it in a pants' pocket. "Okay, go get your ninja suit that's hanging on the line. It's time to see what I'm working with," Tsume told him as they went outside. Naruto donned the now dry and indeed fresher smelling jacket and followed the woman. They went to a dojo on the estate grounds where many were training and sparring. "First, I'm testing your load limit, or how much you can lift and maintain balance. Weight equals power against someone like Kurumaru. The more you can lift, the more weight you can put behind a punch. The more weight behind a punch, the more damage caused. Going by your abdominal muscles and the fact that you beat Kiba during the Chuunin Exams, I'll start you off at a hundred fifty and gradually add on." Naruto looked frightened.
"That's more than my body weighs; I'd get crushed if I lost it," Naruto said worryingly.
"The way we measure strength is actually very safe compared to the gym in the village," his mother told him as they entered the apparent weight room. Guys with arms as big around as Naruto's head sat around using dumbbells. The blond gulped, but these men stopped at seeing Tsume. "Now, this device has a safety on it specifically for that danger. I just have to set your height. These are solid four-inch thick steel plates supported by equally strong bars. You can rest assured that even if you dropped this weight bar, you would be almost perfectly safe unless you jumped up and slammed your head. No one has ever died on this, and you won't be the first," Tsume assured him. "I hold the record at seventeen-hundred pounds, so even if some crazy occurrence were to happen, I could easily stop it and get you out of there." Naruto nodded, and now everyone's eyes were on him.
"Aw, come on Tsume," one of them called. "He's stronger than that. Two-hundred."
"He's an adolescent who hasn't even hit the fifth growth stage, so I won't risk his growth plates," the woman replied. "We'll see how far he can manage, but starting high and wrecking your body from the start doesn't work well, eh Kanuji-San?" Everyone turned to the one redhead in the room and saw him blushing and nodding. "I believe we remember what happened when you were seventeen and attempted a nine-hundred pound pulse. Your spinal chord compressed, but thank Kami Tsunade was still around." Everyone else in the room fell quiet.
"This is easy," Naruto said as he rather impressively held up the whole bar with one hand. Tsume looked stunned, and a few of the men were impressed. "Is this really a hundred fifty?" the woman nodded and gestured for him to lower the bar again to the safety.
"We'll go in twenty-five pound increments past this one, but here's two-hundred," the woman stated as she added the metal disks to each side. "The genius behind this rig is that we can put five pound plates on this and increase the total strain by much more. I remember when Renji-Sama designed this. He wasn't the strongest at all, but he fought smart, and that's how he claimed dominance of the clan. If you want to beat Kurumaru, you either need brawn, brains, or a bit of both with some luck tossed in too." Everyone tattooed in red triangles nodded.
"Oh, is that Naruto?" one of them asked. Tsume nodded. "Ya, sorry to hear about that…tough break. Kuru's a real jerk, but we're cheering for you. Wipe the floor with him and give him a punch from me, Han."
"Alright," the blond replied as he easily lifted two-hundred-seventy-five pounds, impressing everyone. "This really isn't hard yet." Tsume took him off the rig and unzipped his jacket.
"I can usually gauge a person's strength when I see their body, and I already saw all of yours," Tsume spoke. "Take off the shirt." Naruto did as she asked a bit hesitantly. Now that he was experiencing public nudity, and only partial at that, he kind of understood Kiba's plight. The woman lifted his left arm. "Flex," she ordered. The blond boy did as she asked, and a rather impressive set of muscles for a teen appeared. Tsume easily pushed each one back down in a row using her hand, but she frowned as she did so. "If not for the fact that I have seen you and Kiba, I would ask if you've been taking steroids." Some of the men snuffed and suppressed laughs. "Oh I know at least three of you in here are guilty of that one," the woman called with a look that certainly told the rest of her story. "I could line you up and pick you out by smell, and I will too just to prove a point if I must. I'd suggest dropping them before you leave permanent damage on the muscles you prize so much, because your manhood has already been damaged in multiple ways." Naruto couldn't help but smile at this because he knew what steroids did from his health classes, but he suppressed his laughs. "It's not pretty," she said more quietly and actually aimed at the boy. "When you say you train your butt off, I gather that's no lie." Naruto nodded. "Biran," the woman called flatly like the authority she was. The bronze-haired gentlemen poked his head up, and he came over as Tsume gestured. "Bare your stomach." He raised an eyebrow. "Do it," she said more sternly. Naruto could feel the killer intent that poured from this woman easily, and he was scared out of his mind for a second. Biran didn't seem to be much better off, and he now undid his jacket and lifted his shirt. "Naruto, I want to see how you punch. Biran, I wouldn't underestimate him."
"If you say so Mom," Naruto spoke. Everyone picked their heads up at this, but Tsume gave them all the look that said "I'll explain later." Naruto took his usual fighting stance and did a normal punch, causing Biran's abdominal muscles to bend about an inch before the blond bounced off.
"Oof…I felt that," Biran said aloud. A dumbbell was dropped in a corner of the room, and many of the men were stunned.
"Exactly," Tsume told them. "Now, Naruto, go through the motion, but just put your fist on his stomach; your taijutsu needs some refining." The fox-boy did as she asked, and the woman examined every aspect. "The power needs to come from your hips. Make sure your full weight is put behind the forward force, and use your legs to add to it. Your fist is merely the point at which the force is focused, so don't even focus on using it as much as getting everything else down." Naruto nodded. "Your legs are spread a bit too wide. Now try again." This time, Naruto forced himself to do as his mother requested. "Better, but practice. Hit Biran one more time." The tall man nodded to Naruto, and he smiled before hitting Biran full force. Everyone was stunned as he was thrown off the platform and fell backwards down the stairs. It took three guys to catch and stabilize the man, and now everyone was shocked.
"That…was a punch," he said as he shook his head and regained his footing. "Damn, I need to spar with you."
"Not until he's fully grown and no longer has a crack in the back of his skull plate," Tsume said flatly. "Biran, how much do you weigh, and be honest."
"Two-seventy," he replied. Tsume raised an eyebrow, signaling that she didn't buy it. "Fine, two-ninety." No one was doing anything except paying attention to Tsume and Naruto now. This kid had just thrown their second place grand heavyweight.
"Considering Naruto hit the core of your being and threw you from when you were standing completely still, I'd say his punching force is about a four-forty, four-fifty," Tsume spoke. "That's stronger than a bunch of you actually. Naruto, did you do my training regiment before you went to sleep?"
"I did seventy of each instead of just fifty, but yeah," the blond replied.
"Good, triple that if you want to really make some improvements," Tsume told him. "Now, your maximum strike force in terms of speed is about six to seven percent more than your maximum lift force, so let's skip up to three-seventy-five here." Now everyone was just skeptical as the woman put the metal plates on the ends of the bar. "I won't be shocked, but I'll be impressed if you can lift this with little effort." Naruto nodded before taking the familiar squat position. He found it to be more difficult than he first assumed, but after he adjusted his grip, the blond pushed three-hundred-seventy-five pounds of steel into the air. His arms didn't even shake.
"Holy shit," Kiba spoke. Naruto wasn't trying to show off, but he threw the bar up, quickly turned around so that he could see everyone and caught it with just a hint of difficulty. He received clapping from the men, and he smiled until he looked at Tsume.
"Don't ever do pulses without my permission," she said flatly. "Your growth plates can't withstand those at that weight until they harden. You can cripple your hands if you overdo it, but I am impressed. Just face us as you do it. I'll step it up to three-ninety, because that is the seven percent mark. The last forty pounds are always the hardest no matter what one thinks. The exponential gain is what strengthens muscles." Naruto placed the bar down, a light sheen of sweat covering his chest and abdominals. After Tsume placed these plates, he attempted to lift the bar, but found it to be extremely difficult. He had to actually roar a bit before the bar went up, but he managed it to the awe of everyone. "The body can put a lot more force on things when you breathe out, but that's your limit Naruto. I'm freaking impressed that you're actually at this level, but now comes the hard part: thirty a day until it becomes relatively easy, and you will have me, Hana, or perhaps Tsunade gauge you before you move on. Safety is our top priority, so don't think of it as just us being your babysitters. If you can actually do all the training I've set you up with and remain true to your new diet, you'd be hellishly surprised how far you will go in a matter of weeks."
"I thought dieting at all had bad effects on the body Tsume-Sama," Han spoke up. "Or did Hana actually break the code?"
"There is no code, just the food pyramid," the woman replied. "I just have him taking in a little extra so he can train hard and not eat up chakra in place of food. He already burns three-thousand calories a day while barely eating fifteen-hundred, which means about a third or more of his chakra is consumed in its place."
"You're a machine little man," Biran spoke. "You're not bad at all, and the village thinks you're a menace, what morons."
"Okay, you can lift more than triple your body weight, but now I'll put you through a chakra exercise I bet you've never done," Tsume said with a grin.
"Try me," Naruto replied confidently. The woman attached two fifty-pound weights to his ankles after taking him to a room where people were walking on the ceiling with a net hanging beneath them. "I've done this before, but it is hard."
"And that's why I'm starting you off at only fifty per leg," Tsume replied. "Walk up the wall, go all the way to the bottom of the far wall, and come back, but you can only use chakra and your leg muscles to make it." Naruto seemed a bit hesitant, but he met her challenge head on. The blond focused chakra at his feet and stood horizontally on the wall. "Going fast doesn't help, but going extra slow will make you very sore. Just keep a steady pace, and try to keep your body tensed instead of hanging, so that you get the full effects."
"Alright," Naruto called from up on the ceiling. Tsume had completely missed his walk up, and now she was surprised that he was already halfway to the other end. When the blond came back, he was sweating, but he had energy to spare. "I'll bump you up to seventy later, but now I'll show you the resisted pushup and sit-up exercises," the woman told Naruto. He took his weights off and carried them to the next room. "Once again, designed by Renji-Sama," Tsume told him as she gestured towards the mechanisms. "Get into a pushup position under this one," she told Naruto. Unlike a lot of guys, Naruto actually did his pushups correctly: perfect forty-five degree angle and correct width between his arms. "The weight is centralized on the back of your chest, but now you don't have the help of your legs, so the maximum weight you can lift will be probably half or less of the first exercise. I'll start you off at one-fifty, and the safeties out here on the ends will protect you if you can't maintain a hold of the weight and have to drop it quickly." Naruto grunted in reply, and he felt the pad on his back become heavier and heavier as Tsume put on the weights. "Alright, let's see how you do with this." After several failed attempts, Naruto admitted defeat. "I had a feeling your legs made up more than half of your strength. Let's try one-twenty-five." The blond had to work at it, but he managed ten good ones before stopping. "I want a hundred of these every day. You can get a progressive chart from the front room if you want so you can keep track."
"Jeez," Naruto said with strain in his voice as he did his nineteenth. "This puts my work to shame."
"No, you just focused on your chakra at the same time as physical training," his mother replied as she watched him. "This is strictly muscle training except for the roof walking exercise. You've got twenty for the day, so move on to the sit-ups." Naruto went all the way down and scooted out from under the apparatus.
"You know, they ought to make it so that you have a changeable platform that you can raise yourself on instead of having to crawl out from under this thing; it's really cramped," Naruto told her as he made it the last of the way out. Tsume thought about it and smiled.
"That's…not a half bad idea actually, I'll put that in the suggestion box," Tsume told him. "Now, the sit-ups you'll love. Lay down flat on this mat," she ordered him as she grabbed the strong elastic bands from the frame behind him. "This one, does raise up," the woman told Naruto before quickly spinning a wheel and sending him surprisingly rising. Tsume quickly got him four feet in the air and wrapped the bands around his chest and lower torso and rigged them up to the resistance weights. "This angle provides centralized resistance for each section, and as such, allows for the perfect training so that all of the muscles develop evenly and at the same time. If you can do a hundred pushups with a hundred ten pounds attached, you'll be done with this exercise." Naruto found these crunches to be five times harder than even his verticals when he hung from a ceiling. He pushed through the first forty, but he was panting and sweating viciously by the end of the sixties.
"Kami alive," Naruto said before doing another. "This is intense."
"Does it burn yet?" Tsume asked flatly.
"No, but it's hard," the blond replied with strain heavy in his voice.
"Then keep going." Naruto found this to be like an insult to his abilities, and he caught his second wind without even borrowing Kyuubi's chakra. The blond clenched his teeth and growled through the last ten, but he pushed himself even further than that, going to one-twenty just to impress Tsume. "Now does it burn?"
"No, so I'll keep going," Naruto replied to purposely tick her off. It almost worked, but the woman found a passive way to beat Naruto. She added another ten pounds of resistance to see how far she could push him. It didn't seem to show any effect until thirty later. "One, fifty, one…one, fifty, two," Naruto growled. "I…won't…lose!" he yelled. Tsume added another ten, and the blond shoved himself to two-hundred resisted sit-ups before being sprung flat by the bands. Tsume hopped up and stood over him smiling. "Heh," Naruto laughed softly as he tried to regain his breath. "I'm an idiot."
"True, but you did just do double of what I expected of you," Tsume told him with a smile. "Nice job Sweaty," she called him before getting down, removing the weight bearing down on the boy, undoing the bands, lowering the platform and helping him up. "Okay, now on to the part you can rest in…Tsunade's office." Naruto smiled as he panted and sweat droplets fell from his chin, hair, and arms.
"You alright Naruto?" Kiba asked. Naruto chuckled lightly, but his stomach was in fact in burning pain.
"I'll be fine," the blond replied before walking away with Tsume. "And just how many do you do everyday Mom?" he asked as if accusing her of something. Tsume turned and used a single finger to throw him onto a mat at the far end of the room.
"Don't think you can beat me, because you still can barely hold a candle to Kurumaru," she told him with a grin and a sense of superiority. Naruto got up and apologized, and then the group entered the first room from earlier. "Naruto, drink some water, a lot actually," his mom told him. "After all of that, you need an energy boost from that apple I gave you, and you need to rehydrate yourself." The blond boy was breathing heavily and feeling a bit sickly, so he followed her orders on the water.
"Ghah," he panted after taking a long drink from the fountain. "I must have been insane." Naruto took down another eight gulps before going back to Tsume and Kiba. "Shall we?" he asked more brightly. The group made it to the hospital with little problem save for the people holding their noses to defend against Naruto's stench. "How come you aren't affected today Mom?" he asked curiously. Tsume smiled before answering him.
"A: I was there as your stench gradually built and am therefore used to it. B: I put a bit of scent oil in my nose before we left to guard against it," she said. Naruto rolled his eyes with a smile. "Now, eat that apple before it gets too warm and mealy." Her son followed orders, and he made sure to chew properly as he walked. He threw the apple core away in the garbage can outside the hospital. They entered the building and found the Hokage impatiently waiting. Naruto waved at her, and she started walking over to them.
"I expected you guys an hour a-g," she started a bit angrily before the fox-boy's odor hit her. "G-God Naruto." Tsunade held her nose as her eyes watered. "Tsume, what did you make him do?" The woman smiled at her. "Ah, the list of what you didn't do is shorter than the list of what you did do. Go up to room one-sixty and scrub yourself down," she ordered Naruto. He knew not to screw around when she was angry, so upstairs he went as quickly as he could. "Ugh, that is pungent," Tsunade commented after releasing her nostrils. "Seriously, right before an examination Tsume?"
"The time I have to train him before Kurumaru issues his challenge just decreases as the days go on Tsunade-Sama," the woman replied flatly. "Did you know he can lift nearly four-hundred pounds?" It was a good thing Tsunade wasn't drinking or eating; she would have choked.
"Crazy woman claims what now?" the Godaime asked in complete skepticism.
"On our vertical lift, he can lift three-hundred-ninety pounds, and even pulse just fifteen pounds less," Tsume re-explained. Tsunade's mouth hung open just slightly. "Examine his muscles for any damage, and run a test for steroids. I didn't smell any, but he's impossibly strong for his age, that being literal. Also, check the growth plates in his wrists; a pulse of that weight shouldn't have happened, and it worries me."
"He can seriously pull that off?" Tsunade asked, receiving a nod in return. "If you're not pulling my leg, then I have a lot of work to do. What about his resistances?"
"Pushups, one-twenty-five pounds; sit-ups, we went from one-ten to one-thirty, but he did two-hundred of those in a row, causing what you smelled," Tsume answered. "I also had him do the antigravity training. We haven't seen how far he can go with that yet though. But yes, Naruto…is like a baby titan."
"Do we have his endurance?" Tsunade asked. Tsume gave her one look, and she instantly felt stupid. "Right, limitless," she ended. "Well, I also need some time to strengthen his seal a bit, but we'll be done in probably a half-hour. We can discuss this in detail later."
Naruto just finished dressing again when Tsunade knocked on the door. "Come in," he called. "Oh, hello Tsunade-Sama."
"Added to your MRI, I now have to do muscular scans Naruto," the Hokage told him as she sat in a swivel chair and partially filled out a few papers. "Ya, don't do pulses until you've stopped growing please. Repairing growth plates is very difficult, and if they're hurt badly enough, impossible. I heard about your amazing feats at the gym though. Naruto, be honest; have you been taking drugs of any sort?"
"No," Naruto replied. The Hokage scanned his aura and his physical reactions for any signs of lying. "A: those do some really bad things downstairs, and B: they make your muscles grow too fast ahead of your bones…to the point where you can barely move until they die back or atrophy."
"You know your medical facts," Tsunade told him. "Now, put on this vest so we can X-Ray your arms." It was a jacket filled with blocks of lead, and Naruto placed his arms under the camera as the woman instructed. After eight beeps, Tsunade told him he could remove the jacket. "These will be developed after we finish with the seal, but now we can do the MRI." Naruto knew how to do this one, but Tsunade examined more than just his head. "I'm scanning your whole body to check on your growth. And…we're done," she said four minutes later. "Now, I do unfortunately have to draw some blood to make sure you weren't lying about the aforementioned steroid use, but it will probably also tell us why your muscles have grown at nearly triple the rate of normal humans."
"I thought it was just because I trained hard," Naruto said quietly as Tsunade numbed a patch on his arm. He winced as the needle slid in. "You don't really think I'd lie about something like that…do you?"
"No, but we are currently lacking an explanation, and this test will provide all the answers hopefully," Tsunade told him as she drew his blood into the syringe. "We'll have the results in by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, but if you have been taking steroids just to fight Kurumaru, please stop Naruto. Beating him once and then losing your dreams isn't worth it. With Tsume training you, you can beat him." She drew out the needle and placed the syringe in a sealed plastic bag before labeling it and putting it in her bag. "Now, I can check your growth plates right now, so lay your arms flat, palms up on the table. This shouldn't take much longer than a few seconds." Naruto did as she asked, and Tsunade focused her chakra at her fingertips before pressing her index and middle fingers lightly onto Naruto's wrists. "You got lucky," she commented. "They've been lightly bruised, but nothing major. Don't do any heavy weight training for the rest of the day except for those crunches and the ceiling walking. Come back first thing in the morning without the sweat so that I can double-check them." Naruto nodded silently. "Now, your head is basically completely healed except for a few micro cracks, but Kyuubi is definitely dealing with them well. All that's left is the seal reinforcement."
"Okay," Naruto replied with a false light smile.
"Something wrong Naruto?" the woman asked.
"I'm just ticked that you don't trust me," Naruto replied as he walked past her. Tsunade was now following him.
"Room 203," the Hokage told him. "We've already got the jutsu written down; we just need to paint some symbols on you and get it over with." Naruto entered the room she mentioned and saw eight ANBU sitting in a very wide circle. He removed his upper clothing and sat at the center like he knew he was supposed to. The ANBU tended to give off a mysterious feeling to anyone in their presence, but something in the air just didn't feel right to Naruto. "Alright, now hold still while I paint the ones for your skin. I will warn you Naruto that this will be uncomfortable, and I do apologize for that. Sit up straight so I can get your arms and chest." The boy did as she asked without question, but he kept just looking into the floor. Tsunade was careful not to rub anything sensitive, but some of the strokes tickled the boy. "Sorry," she said with a small smile. Naruto tried to smile in return, but he could feel his own lie. "Okay, they're all in place according to the scroll; let's begin," the Hokage spoke as she sat down. There were symbols written on her right arm as well, and she placed her hand lightly over Kyuubi's seal, making Naruto feel just slightly reassured, but he began thinking about how only Kiba should be allowed to touch him there. "It's fine Naruto," Tsunade told him as the once black, sectioned circled began lighting up as the ANBU agents contributed their chakra.
"Tori, Ne, Hitsuchi, Tatsu,…" they chanted. Tsunade formed a hand sign with her left hand and closed her eyes.
"Seal!" she spoke sternly. Naruto's eyes widened in shock as he felt an enormous rush of chakra. The writing written on him and on the ground began moving towards the eight signs. It suddenly felt as though he was burning, truly lit on fire, and his cries pierced the air to Tsunade's astonishment, no…horror. "Naruto!" she yelled. The boy's arms twitched, and he cried into the air above from the pain as the black letters crawled over his body and converged on the eight signs. "It's just a couple more seconds Naruto."
"Te, Tori,…"
"Just a bit more."
"Tsuchi, Se,"
It hurts, was all that Naruto could think.
"Seru, Tatsu."
Make them stop.
"Hitsuchi."
"What in the nine depths of Hell is happening Naruto?!" Kyuubi roared. "Naruto, answer me."
"Naruto!" Tsunade yelled as he thrashed.
"Toru, Ne, Tori, Tsuchi."
"PLEASE STOP!" Naruto finally managed to yell as they finished. His seal glowed, and his entire being felt like it would burst apart like a burning log. Tears fell from his eyes, but the next part was even more unexpected; a bluish shockwave went off from the seal, and everyone, including Naruto, was flung away from the center of that circle. The blond's back smacked the wooden door, the softest thing in that room, and he fell still as his chakra returned to its normal flow.
The ANBU agents were moaning from being tossed like a stick in the wind into the walls and metal bedposts, but Tsunade only had attention for Naruto. "Naruto, are you alright?" she asked, receiving no response in return other than the boy's collapse onto his side. There was now a sizable crack in the bottom part of the door. The Hokage ran over to him and checked his pulse. "His body's in shock," she spoke seriously. "Get him on meds to slow his heart, and get him on a respirator, now!" she yelled, instilling fear into the agents so that they'd finally do something. "Kami-Sama, what have I done?" she asked…barely whispering as she cried over the once ray of sunshine in her arms. The two medical ANBU with her got him on a stretcher and into the nearest room with the equipment needed as the Hokage herself went to get his heart rate medicine. All she could think about was the giant mistake she had just committed. "Okay, get this in an I.V. drop," she told the medical ninja as she held out the bag with a shaking hand. "Now get out," she said quietly to them all.
"Tsunade-Sama," one of them began.
"GET OUT!" she roared passionately, backhanding the one who spoke out of turn through a window and into the streets below. The rest quickly left the Hokage alone as tears rolled from her eyes. "Please wake up Naruto," was all that she could think to say. Tsunade knew that it would truly take a while for the yellow-haired boy to wake up from such a traumatic experience, but she didn't know if his head had suffered extensive damage. The Hokage worked up the courage to check and held the back of Naruto's head as she focused her chakra in her other hand and felt around. Tsunade was relieved when she found nothing wrong, but it was bittersweet. "I'm so sorry…Naruto," she spoke quietly as she kneeled next to his bedside. "Just wake up one last time for me Naruto." The door to the room crashed open, and a furious Kiba stormed in.
"What the Hell happened?!" he yelled angrily. "What did you do to him?" Tsunade got up and faced him.
"Kiba, I'm sorry," she started. "The seal reinforcement was something no one had knowledge about. We didn't know it," BAM! Tsunade was caught completely off guard as Kiba's fist smashed into the side of her head, and she was sent tumbling into the wall as she collapsed.
"You didn't know anything about it, and you didn't do anything to prepare for what might happen?" Kiba asked angrily. "Screw that Tsunade! What right did you have to go experimenting on Naruto like some lab rat?" he asked as he cried. Tsunade put her left hand to the side of her face and stared distantly at the blood on her fingers. "You knew he was still injured too. How the fuck can you just stand there and do that? Look at him! He's in a freaking coma again, and it's your fault!" Tsunade got up again. "Damn it!" the boy yelled as he went to punch the woman once more. Tsume stopped him however by grabbing his forearm from behind. Kiba looked at her in a passionate rage as tears spilled from his eyes. The woman shook her head softly in response, and her boy collapsed to his knees crying and moaning. His mother looked to see the doorway packed with people now, and she sent them a death stare even Orochimaru couldn't contend with. They all fled except for one pink-haired kunoichi, Sakura. She stood there petrified, but Tsume's look softened once she saw who this was. Shizune quickly joined the girl, and they walked into the room to see Naruto unconscious in the cot hooked up to a breathing machine and an I.V. drip. It was obvious that the blond had been crying, and Sakura picked up his right hand and found it to be cold.
"This is all…my fault," her mentor said softly as she healed the cut and bruise Kiba had given her. "And he had just healed up too." Tsume turned to her. "His head is completely fine again, but I'm waiting on his arm X-rays. I'll get the drug test on his blood done now. You guys can stay here for a while, but if Naruto wakes up before I come back, tell him I'm sorry. Also, get him off that respirator, or he'll choke on it. He isn't going to die, but I don't know how he'll be when he wakes up," the Hokage ended as she closed the cracked wooden door.
"Naruto," Kiba moaned in sorrow. His mother sat next to him and hugged her son closely, knowing just how hard it was to know that a loved one was hurt or may never come back. He cried openly into her shoulder, and Sakura sat next to the blond on his cot, lightly rubbing his whisker marks and crying silently. "Please don't leave Naruto. I…I love you God damn it!" Sakura and Shizune both heard his words, and they had both been told by drunken Tsunade what was going on, but neither of them disliked the two boys at all for it. Truth be told, Shizune was a yaoi fangirl, and Sakura was a sensitive and sensible person in general.
"Kiba," his pink-haired friend began. "I'm really sorry that this happened, but I'm glad you guys got to know each other." Those words lifted Kiba's spirits a bit, but it just wasn't enough. "Originally, I thought he had a crush on me, and then I considered how passionate he was about going after Sasuke, but I never would have guessed he was crushing on you….Naruto has always been that kind of a person, unpredictable." Her tone made the kunoichi's words sound reassuring, and that was what the crying brunette clung to. "Listen Kiba," Sakura started after sniffling a bit. "I'm really happy for you guys. If you ever want to talk, you can come to me; I won't tell anyone."
"Thanks…Sakura," Kiba sobbed. "I just want him to still be Naruto." The feeling was mutual, and eventually, they gathered up enough not broken chairs and sat in a semicircle around Naruto's cot. "I'm staying all night if I have to," Kiba declared. "I will be here when he wakes up," he grinned before saying the last part, "Believe it." Everyone smiled at his enthusiasm, and now a solemn-looking Hokage entered the room. "I'm really sorry Lady Tsunade," the brunette apologized off the bat.
"No," the Hokage refuted him softly as she shook her head. "I really am the one to blame for all of this. I've got the drug tests done, all negative." She smiled lightly. "I should have believed him more, but this is a mathematical and medical impossibility, his muscle growth. Oh, I need to go get the X-rays. I'll be back in a couple of minutes." When the woman did return, she activated the white screen and placed the images on it. Tsunade wore a quizzical look. "Sakura, these are images of Naruto's arms." The pink-haired girl stepped over to her sensei. "Apart from his abnormally large muscle mass, do you see anything unusual?" Sakura put her right hand on her chin and thought deeply about what she was looking at.
"Are these blown up?" she asked. Tsunade shook her head. "The other unusual thing is that Naruto's bones are the correct size for these muscles." The Hokage nodded with a small smile.
"In other words, we have a miraculous picture of health staring us in the face with no explanation," Tsunade said quietly. "Well, with this rest, his growth plates should be able to repair themselves. They were slightly bruised from a quick strain. The most likely candidate is that pulse you mentioned Tsume." The woman nodded, but she just kept her eye on her sleeping son. "Going by his condition, Naruto won't be awake until tomorrow you guys. You can leave Akamaru here as a monitor if you wish, but the rest of you need your sleep."
Arf. Arf. "Thanks buddy," Kiba told his dog before placing him actually next to Naruto. "I know he can't understand you, but if he wakes up early, give him a greeting from me. Here, I always keep a couple of treats on hand," he said before giving his loyal partner the treats to tide him over. Kiba waved one last time before saying "night buddy," and leaving the hospital room with everyone else.
