Yeah? You heard about the lemons before, right?
LEMON-warning.
On with the show.
Naruto frowned, the celestial sky blazing. The third test was passed. In contrast to the tests beforehand the third revealed a mental integrity exam, wherein the object was to stay soundly sane.
Passing with flying colors was easy enough. Watching as a swath of stars bloom in his eyes was not - though the sun was the culprit of that one.
He sweated small crystals as clear as rain that licked his skin from forehead to chin, before slipping away.
Lately, the days had been shrieking, as if the morose voices in his conscious multiplied, and they were all trying for his attention. He felt himself going insane more than once from his own incompetence.
The Chuunin Exams would be starting in a week or so. But he didn't plan to go. That would be a waste of time. Instead fixing his relationship with Haku and Tenten took precedence.
"What are you doing out here? All by your lonesome?" The night was warm and Anko's voice soothed him, yet shattered the silence.
The moon glinted against her eye and her hair dazzled dimly in starlight. She was confident, as usual, except this time she had a sway in her hips.
Black forest with ash shaded his back, and between that and him was a ten foot tall fence. The sign read: The Forest of Death.
"I've been thinking."
"Thinking, of?"
Naruto looked off again in thought. The night and moon illuminated a few just blossomed flowers. Their sweet scent wafted over to him, like a field of wildflowers blanketing around him. He couldn't clarify it, no matter how much he wanted to. Distractions were being paid overtime and even so he really didn't want to think about his issues like some emo school-girl at Konoha Academy.
"Haku-chan and Tenten-chan, am I right?"
"Hai."
"What? They haven't sucked you off yet?" She joked, taking her bid at making him smile.
Naruto soldiered a deadpanned stare, although he really didn't have the strength to even do that. He settled for a raised brow instead.
Anko shrugged. "Had to try." Sitting next to him, Anko lassoed him in with an arm while a slight tinge of pink dusted her cheeks. The grass tickled him as he went, itching him to that annoying tingle only grass could give.
"You know," Anko started. "They're wondering why you're not coming around. I am too, in some ways, but it's because you're questioning yourself. I know it is. You're questioning whether you've been proper or not with them, because you want to treat them like the ladies they are, right?"
His head nodded, he wasn't sure how she knew all this.
Suddenly, he croaked, "What about us...?"
Immediately, he wished he could've taken that back.
Because Anko's expression morphed; slight furrowed brows and lips quirked. "What about us? You and me?" She motioned with her finger.
Without thinking he said, "Hai"
He actually meant Haku and Tenten, though. Their relationship wouldn't allow them to be married. But Anko's chest swelled with every breath. She wore a pitch black tank top that clung to her body and pale white shorts just above her knees. She looked… beautiful. His chest lurched inward in a throb. His cheeks tickled red. Before he knew it he switched from Anko's breasts to her eyes, which gazed towards the full-moon.
It illuminated the dark sky to a faint glowing blue, like a sparkling ocean in the eve.
"Here-"
Naruto's breath hitched and he felt a shot of surprise chill through his chest - Anko pulled him along from the fence, away from the dark of the forest and down into the lights in town. In all the time he knew Anko this was the first time she had done something like this. Yet he did not resist.
For some reason he was entranced with Anko's ass.
He compared it to when his eyes lingered on Haku's or Tenten's, though his conscious reeled him back.
He looked away again, trying to keep his manners intact. Plus he felt like he was cheating on Haku and Tenten, despite the fact they weren't dating.
Naruto's embarrassment made the trip go by fast.
They were at Flange.
Anko sat him down after ordering two drinks - what kind he didn't know. Although he silently noticed the seat was surprisingly comfortable.
They came back with a long black bottle, ice cubes chiming and fizzing in two separate wine glasses; the smell of grapes rising from the bottleneck. He decided he wouldn't worry.
All he knew was that him and Anko were sitting across from each-other in an ornate, dimly lit booth without a word from her, although he sometimes caught her eye peeking at him. She hid her face well.
A sip of his straw and a pleasant fizz slid down his throat.
"Sparkling wine. Really good when you're wanting something good to drink. Non-alcoholic too."
Naruto nodded, accepting that. But something nagged him.
"Why are we here?" He questioned, he framed a thoughtful expression.
"A date!" she announced, softly, like a surprise present.
Squinting his eyes, Naruto finally smelled the perfume hinting in the air. He looked around. No one. He leaned over if only by an inch and the perfume thickened potently. The wind must've masked it before. Plus her hair smelled like vanilla on a hot summer day - a spicy twist he kinda liked, admittedly.
With a beguiled look he murmured, "You're serious?"
Anko smiled, gently. "Mhmm," she started. "Cute place, nice food, low chandeliers."
"Why?" He decided straight to the point worked best.
She gave him a cool smile and an intent stare that enslaved his eye.
"I have feelings too."
Naruto's heart skipped in an instant, drilling his head like a drum. Surprised, he was about to ask what she was talking about when she cut him off.
"Wha-"
"Besides," her peering gaze unlocked from him to the window next to them. The moon again glimmered, this time leaving a mini-me on the window.
"You need practice. After all, you're going to date them, right?"
"Yes," Some way somehow his nerves cemented.
"Then you need to know what to do. See, guys go on dates with girls when they're around your age because they 'love' them. You on the other hand love them. You've spent years with them. Hell, let's throw in you sleeping with them in the same bed and not screwing them in their sleep."
"That's rape," he pointed out.
"That's not the point. The point is is that you respect them, and most guys have experience when they date someone they intend to marry. Respect is key. Experience is what you lack. And, you have guts. Just not with girls."
When Naruto's mind wandered to the times he kissed Tenten and Haku, he wondered if that comfort would transfer to experience in dating, though he gandered a guess that it wouldn't. He kept his mouth closed.
"And there is a practice date in my future?" He ventured, unsurely.
Her wink was answer enough but then her foot footsied his. She bit her lip gently, as if she were unsure what to say, yet the way she held herself said otherwise.
"We could make this a real date," she suggested.
Naruto had the feeling she'd been practicing that line for a while. It was smooth. Borderline too smooth.
Their waiter came around again, interrupting Anko's predatory glare as she swiftly morphed it to a sweet smile. Anxiety sat well within his gut when he made his order. He was sure they looked like a couple on a date. Throw in a rose and candles and the picture would have been complete.
And then when the waiter left to fetch their meals Naruto figured she must've been giving him time to think since she hadn't said much, yet she stared with such purpose, patience written in her budding smile.
Naruto didn't know what to feel at this point. Would it be right? He loved both Haku and Tenten. To add a third love - is that even love by that point? Did he love Anko like that?
Suddenly, a light sprung in his head, which caused him to fluster. Maybe it was the sparkles in the wine that surrendered his fears.
Optimism was inspired in the strangest of things.
"Anko-chan."
He had her attention, her black slip-on sneaker played with his toes under the table. The lithe white table cloth blotting out onlookers.
"Hm?" her eyes were half-lidded.
"Kiss me."
Shock sprung her sedating mind; her eyes wide.
If they kissed and electricity sparked with a light buzz humming in the back of their heads, then he loved her and she him. Years ago that's what she told him. When a spark lit like a bolt than you were in love.
A spark had lit with Haku and Tenten, that he was sure of now, but would it come again for Anko? He wondered.
"Ok."
Without warning her lips melted onto his. She had leaned over the table with her arms holding him close, pressing her chest into him like two soft pillows. Naruto shut his eyes. Her perfume pleasantly overpowered him, smelling something like roses while… Naruto's eyes shot open in shock, his back tingled like a coiling lightning bolt tap-dancing down his spine.
Her lips were soft, sucking his and nibbling on them Anko forced her tongue into his mouth before she played with his tongue, they waged war against each other as playful as longtime lovers, her breath left him intoxicated from the roses smell and he felt himself heat up, she left a sweet taste like cherries in his mouth, his cheeks reddened before finally…
"Oh wow," the waiter coughed, embarrassed.
Anko's soft lips left Naruto breathless as she sat back in her seat. Anko had a satisfied grin with misty eyes - he was sure he looked the same.
The waiter steered his flustered face away, like a kid ewwing at his parents getting starry-eyed and making kissy faces, and though he mustered his calmest face it did little to secure his comfort.
After, the waiter left with a brisker step. A good tip in hand if he sealed his voice - a deal with Anko, you understand..
They were lucky no one else saw.
"So?" Anko asked, a vixen glare locked him to her. "Is it a date?"
Naruto didn't need more thought.
"Hai."
Naruto intertwined his fingers with Anko's. Her fingers were small, he noticed. Soft, lithe. Beautiful. The two kept walked down the path to a small stream that slithered in the forest. Anko told him minutes before that the place was known for it's lover meet-ups. When asked how she knew, she grinned and elbowed him in the side, saying she had her sources.
Whether it was the tranquil night or the fresh air he didn't question her.
Stories taught her and she taught them.
Gurgles and burbles and blubs along with a slight rush came closer as they walked. The stream was close. Just ahead were old trees grumbling on either side. The branches thirsted and drooped for water. The stream itself looked like a lantern with cool blue illuminating lights shining from the river bed from the moon light. Grass dimly lit the side banks and welcomed them.
The lights shimmered more.
Anko sat feet first into the stream. Shivers sprang from her legs and then to her shoulders before Naruto seated next door and wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her so her head laid comfortably on his chest.
He dipped his feet in as well - cold. The stream moved just slow enough to be comfortable and not rushed, yet not sleepily.
Naruto sighed. After they ate at Flange they just walked for a while. They talked. They spoke of their lives and work, sauntering around aimlessly, as if dazed. Nothing else mattered. Not a thing distracted them from each other before Anko's gaze prompted him to here; the stream.
Now that he thought about it… he wanted to take Haku and Tenten on dates. They were his and he was theirs.
Haku deserved to see beauty in the museums and a classy dinner. Tenten deserved a movie and a picnic. Already he knew what he wanted to do with them, all he wondered was where his backbone went?
Then his thoughts wandered to Anko and suddenly his mind halted.
Anko sensed this, somehow.
"Y'know, a date isn't a date if you think too hard. Out with it," Anko half suggested, half ribbing him while both of her glinting chocolate eyes centered on him intently.
The lights in her eyes reflected the river. Serene strength in her will.
"Just wondering how many more."
"More of?" Anko ushered. Her brows rose, though her eyes stilled the river. Her head tilted.
Strange assurance awoke in Naruto's gut and a buzz in the back of his head, pleasing his mind. Slowly, he made sense of it all.
It was difficult but it was progress.
"More of you, Tenten-chan, Haku-chan. You three are all I need. All I want."
"But…?"
"But," Naruto continued, "What if I fall for another woman?"
A trace of bewilderment knitted brows together. "...Why are you worrying about that? What's the purpose in torturing yourself with something so trivial?" She half-giggled; half believing his stupidity.
He almost shrugged, muttering an imaginary 'I don't know', "The reason you even fell in love with not one, not two, but three beautiful hotties, like me,"
Naruto couldn't help but chuckle at that. Anko grinned, a little.
"Is because you grew up with us. From an early age you looked at Haku and Tenten like more than just sisters and I now. Have faith in yourself to keep your dick coming at us instead of some other bimbos. And, use that head of yours Naruto-kun."
He nodded with a casual grin. Anko's voice was sweet while she talked, like vanilla. Maybe she always sounded like that.
"I'll keep that in mind." He rested his head on Anko's before she looked up at him, nudging him off.
Anxiety coupled with confusion crept in his chest, though his tensing muscles relaxed when her eyes shut and she puckered her lips, leaning in. They kissed.
When they parted, she mewled in disappointment. "Seventeen with a twenty-two year old girlfriend. Guys must be jealous," she played.
"They'll know you're off the market," Naruto joked.
Anko chuckled, "Maybe that guy Hide-san at the office will lay off. I've got myself a real man!"
"Hide-san? The guy who trips all the time?"
"Does it matter?" Anko asked, curious.
"Not really."
"Good," Anko said, "Now, if you don't mind…"
Anko shrugged off his arm and stood tall. The water reflected like a mirror unto her, shining lights, switching on and off her, across the banks a squirrel dashed up a tree with it's cheeks puffed.
"We should tell Tenten-chan and Haku-chan." He picked a flower from the tree. It plucked off and the tree rustled, it's branches dipped back in the river. Naruto could almost hear the tree bickering at him for taking it's jewel and placing it in some 'pretty' woman's hair. "I just hope they won't be upset."
"Hm? We can only wonder." A cheshire grin.
The sun sashed over the horizon, trailing in it's wake a final wave of red orange velvet. Then, dusk. Lightbulbs illuminated in their fixtures. Streets glowed and slept.
Naruto and Anko sat snug on their apartment's man-eating couch with Haku and Tenten on either side.
Surprisingly, their talk went well.
First Anko barged in, dragging Naruto in from behind; a sway to her hips, and viper eyes - a hunter - and Naruto collecting his thoughts within himself, attached to him a straight flushed stare.
Haku had her hair in a bun, which shimmered from the shower. Adorned with her pink pajama's she slung the towel over her shoulders to catch the water from her hair.
Tenten was sweating from training late. She was still breathing heavy and undressing for some unwinding time.
It started with something like this.
"Haku-chan, Tenten-chan," Naruto began, a wurring fire alight in his chest and a strong glare in his eyes, "Would you be my girlfriends?"
He had attempted to sound strong. The most he'd probably sounded like though was a quick question rather than a bass filled, confident voice.
That wasn't his intent but that's what came out, regretfully.
The two made him wait.
They were getting back at him for the days of neglect, where he nary left a word for them to scrounge for.
After fifteen seconds Haku looked to Tenten and she to her before they looked to Naruto. "Hai."
Red dusted their cheeks and white smiles sung their approval immediately after.
At an angle, Anko's perspective, they hadn't mulled it over for more than five seconds. Two seconds to get over the shock and another three to compose themselves enough to will a response and not outright make a fool of themselves. They paused and realization shined on their faces.
And, of course, Anko smiled.
"Welcome to the club, ladies."
It ended with Anko having a long conversation about her coming to, to be another love for Naruto. Before long they were all snuggled together on the couch, pressed together and warm. Savory warm blankets with the cuddliest of cottons. An odd mixture of sweat and freshness hovered over them. Naruto wouldn't lie. It smelled closer to their training field after a half hour of work. Fresh still, yet the beginnings of adrenaline pumping. He loved it. A little honey scented shampoo to make it better.
"Naruto."
"Hm?" he glanced to Haku. She looked content.
"Anko is the last."
Flushed Naruto nodded, embarrassed. "Understood."
Anko chuckled long, slapping a hand over her eyes while Tenten joined.
"Whipped!" Tenten snickered.
When Anko finished, an idea sat idle in pondering. She licked her lips. Heat rose in the pit of her stomach. She wondered…
"Naruto-kun, Tenten-chan, Haku-chan make room in bed."
The lights went out in the living room, but the bedroom stilled with a single lamp dimly lit. Shy feelings surfaced as Anko kissed Naruto firmly on the lips. Haku and Tenten watched wid-eyed neither in confusion or wait: they were awed. Soon Naruto, with Anko pressed to him, collapsed on the bed. His body tensed. She felt his muscles harden. Sure in herself she let herself loose; she pressed more against him, a trailblazer she didn't let him go. Neat turned to crumpled and then to sheets no more. The sheets found residence in a nearby neighborhood named The Floor. The lower class of the bedroom by normal standards. Their tongues drilled deeper, further. An aura of warmth shimmered around them as Anko looked to the girls from her vision's corner.
She breathed deeply and slowed to leave Naruto with one more peck before looking over to her sisters.
"You two understand what I want to do, right?" She looked to the girls.
Holding out her hand Anko beckoned them closer.
They did.
Of course they understood. Uncertainty was sagging their heads away from her gaze. Their hands clasped onto their wrists. They didn't know how they felt about it. Unruly amounts of pheromones smogged the air, an uneasy nauseousness plagued their stomachs, and their cheeks were flushing.
'Awe hell.' Anko thought, understanding.
"Here I thought you too have been in love with him since you were preteens. I know I have. That's how I know I want this," she sighed, mulling over the way they looked.
By all means she knew she was being somewhat harsh, but she hadn't been able to touch Naruto before and now that she had… it frustrated her to see the two act so insecure.
They had nothing to worry about. She just needed to show them. Sex was natural, and for them special. As their older sister she would show them the way.
Haku blushed and looked to Naruto, as if asking for help in her soothing chocolate eyes.
"Only if you're comfortable," he grinned.
Haku nodded. "... I am. But you should wear protection."
"Covered." Anko ripped a condom from it's package. "Naruto is growing up, and now you two. You see Naruto-kun? Told you they would want this!"
"You make it sound like I didn't want it," Naruto replied, indignantly.
"You didn't, did you?"
"Yes."
"Than who was I talking to?"
"Itsuki... He doesn't believe in the condom." Naruto looked away, flustered.
"Oh. Well, safety first, alright ladies?"
"Hai," Tenten affirmed, the longer she thought about it the more she seemed to be comfortable with the idea. She found solace within Naruto's eyes and a reassuring hand from Haku. Though Naruto was sure Haku was holding Tenten's for her own sanity - not that he blamed her.
"Hai," Haku nodded. Queer burbling resounded inside, like an upset stomach, yet she shut her eyes.
She was just nervous.
That was all.
She wanted this.
Haku sucked smoothly around Naruto's cock, while Naruto groaned in ecstasy. Temptation begged him to force her mouth faster around him, yet his will prevailed. He was just above average at seven inches and somehow Haku was taking him to the root. Strands of hair fell from her crown before she shuffled them back into place with her offhand.
He noticed she looked content, almost asking him whether she was doing well as her head bobbed back and forth and her eyes became half-lidded. Naruto would've nodded if not for her mind-numbing tongue swirling around his cock.
At first she'd given his head a tentative lick, then an affectionate peck, before she swallowed his shaft. She'd seemed to have trouble taking it all in.
She gagged and recoiled off his cock the first few times. Clumsy strokes and bobs despite that still felt so good. Puke nearly breaching air a few times after she went too far.
Then they'd pause and let her breath before finally Haku took him to the base, down her throat, and then another moment and she breathed around him.
She moaned and Naruto saw stars.
Anko had taken great pleasure in telling them what to do before sex. Now Haku volunteered to taste first, and taste she did.
First times were always clumsy, full of mistakes and tentatives 'is this all right? Does this feel good?' questions that make first's special.
Despite that, Haku felt like a master.
Her head bobbed beautifully, experimentally poking his cock in the pit of her cheek, burying him in saliva, his knuckles went white. Glimmering stars drifted aimlessly in Naruto's eyes.
Before long he felt pressure build in his gut.
"Haku-chan…" He warned. Coming from deep within, Naruto felt his restraints break.
'GYURGH!' Naruto grunted, he felt prime relief course through him, bodily procedures pausing to relish and convulse in euphoria. Hot cum spurted in ropes down Haku's throat.
She swallowed greedily, surprising Anko and Tenten both. Her eyes still half-lidded. She licked her lips sexily, when Naruto pushed her to the bed.
His thumb feathered Haku's cheek, his lips encompassing hers. Their nude bodies pressed together, gently. At her side, his free hand lithely roamed her stomach, as if she were glass.
Two hills of clothes had been tossed to the corner of the room while Anko and Tenten watched from the side - waiting their turn. They all wanted him for themselves so they decided to fuck one on one at first. Then by the order of when they met.
Sifting over her skin, Naruto felt Haku's nipples stand like pink flowers. She smelled intoxicating, like an overwhelming perfume flooding his insides and breathing a cool freshness into his heart like a wind in the meadow. Her breasts rose and fell to his beat. He hadn't noticed before but she had an hourglass figure. Wide hips. Soft breasts that fit into his hands perfectly. Simply beautiful.
He kissed her, remembering just how soft she felt and how sweet she tasted. He relished it.
With a nod, Naruto gently climbed overtop.
"Warn me if it hurts." Naruto grinned gently, "Love you."
Haku nodded, smiling.
"I love you too," she rubbed his arm soothingly. "and Naruto-kun… Anko-nee-chan will. Not me."
She giggled.
Plunging through her core, the next few minutes were heaven.
Naruto pumped in and out. The bed jerked to his rhythm. Springs recoiled - Naruto heard cheering for him to go harder. He was drunk off their drug of sweat and the smell of spunk. Haku hadn't said a word other than an interesting grunt when he first shoved past her virginity.
Cute moans escaped every now and then, though no blood.
Haku's arms flung around Naruto as her teeth grit and her eyes zipped shut. She yanked him to her, chest to chest, and Naruto groaned. Her vagina pulsed around his cock. Her hips moving in sync with his.
Naruto would swear she came, and she would forever deny.
"Fuck!" Naruto cursed.
With one final shove Naruto buried himself deep within her warm, wet pussy. Pausing for his shivering body he removed the condom and himself. When the condom came off, the semen bulged from the head, little spermies swimming around looking for an egg they would never find.
Poor spermies.
Naruto awoke, feeling his girlfriend's chests pressed to him - as soft as six pillows. Light from the window above rayed in, filtered through the blinder's.
He could vaguely smell sweat, and yet even so the room smelled steril, pure - fresh even. It was then he realized this must've been what an 'afterglow' was like.
Sighing to himself in victory, he grinned as he hugged his loves closer.
Eyes closed, Naruto drifted off; he wanted to stay this way a while longer...
"Hokage-sama! Hokage-sama!" Haijin gasped, "Move, now!"
Shoving past the receptionist the door to the Hokage's office were thrown open as one of the Hokage's scouts barged into his office. Haggard and jolted, Haijin collapsed to his knees with a scroll quickly coming to view.
The knick knacks on Hiruzen's desk eyed the scroll obsessively and the ANBU focused their eyes.
When the scroll unfolded Hiruzen frowned, putting down an outright concerned look:
Itachi was down and Konan had taken his place.
This was not apart of their deal.
"Excellent, Konan-chan. Nagato-sama will be pleased."
At her feet was a bloodied Itachi stilled in a heap on the ground. Then Kisame some feet behind her. Their black cloaks were torn with paper criss-crossing their fingers; a slab of paper muffling their mouths.
She had little more than a blackened pummeled cheek and chakra depletion.
"Why don't you pester someone else, Zetsu. You are not wanted here. Begone."
Zetsu nodded, materializing into the tree. Gone without a flicker of dust.
Sensing Zetsu's signature vanish Konan stared across the clearing towards Konoha.
"Wait Naruto-kun. We are one step closer," she paused, "Peace is one moment nearer."
Staring empty-eyed at Itachi's pained expression her lip twitched happily.
"I've found a way: Release from the parasite without the Shinigami.. Wait for me."
Here we are once more. Now, I've been alluding to the actual conflict for a while now and I've realized I need to get the ball rolling, so that's what I intend to do.
Now, tell me your thoughts and have a nice day!
hillbilly62085: You have me wondering where this is going
Me: I hope I do. Wondering breeds creativity and a great perception for reading. Good to know you've enjoyed the story thus far.
Bakaneko-chan11: *stares down with a wide eye and a blush, with a slight amount of blood leaking from my nose for comedic effect* K-Kawaii... *cough* How can I stay mad at my favorite weapons mistress? *hugs back* Especially when she looks slightly like a panda, which happens to be my all time favorite animal! It's just not possible. Oh, for convenience's sake you can shorten my pen name to just Neko-chan if you want. The full name is way too long to use often. And one more thing before I go pass out from a sugar coma, thanks for the advice. I appreciate any and all help I can get! Happy late New Year and all that other holiday stuff!
Me: "I'll keep giving advice if you keep reviewing" Tenten winked suggestively as she held Neko-chan at arms length. She felt the softness in Neko-chan's shoulders yet the firmness in conjunction - it suited her, she thought. "Deal?" She kissed the crown of Neko-chan's head.
loganhunter2: Just gonna throw this here...konan is fucked in head, kishina is fucked in the head, kimimaru is fucked in the head ,haku has a masochist fetish...if kiba is into beastiality and hinata voyeurism. ..I'm gonna flip 9 / 10
Me: Call me a weirdo but I've always been somewhat attracted tot he idea of Kiba being into beastiality and Hinata into voyeurism. Shouldn't be giving me these ideas. Tut tut!
BrownEyedHoneybadger: I personally think that this chapter embodies a good taste of cheese and wines, and also introduces the reader to englishing. Also, you have failed to introduce the cultural phenomenon that is river-dancing. Please write more potatoes. 17/10
Me: River-dancing is coming in up coming chapters. Patience... now... pass the cheese already!
EndlessChains: A well done chapter. There is a lot of tension in the air for this one as there is a of of questions of what will happen next with Orochimaru as well as what Kimmimaro has planned. The development with Naruto and the two girls is interesting as they are trying to fit their interrogation training as well as trying to understand what their relationship means. It is an interesting and well done character development. Cannot wait to see what it will lead to as well as clear the confusion for Naruto but then again he might be confused about something else as well. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
Me: Thank you for the encouragement. Since I am not very skilled in the romance department a lot of the drama here is from what I have heard and from my own feelings, so yes, I am that indecisive. However I am always looking for good characterization and pacing so I'm glad that I've achieved that in your eyes.
DragonPony22: Another interesting chapter done. It was nice to see some of the banter between the Hokage and the pervy sage. I get a funny feeling about the old frog perv though. I get the feeling he might be more like Danzo then we know, he is coming off as the type to do anything to keep the village safe even harming a ally.
Well it looks like our three are interrogators now. I wonder with that done what will we have to look forward to with these three.
I do feel that Naruto need to stop acting like a little emo school girl and man up. A man must make up his mind even if the world sees it as old or doesn't understand it, as long you and your loved ones back you that is all that matters.
I do like that Anko finally broke it down to the girls to get them to act and take some of the pressure off of Naruto's shoulders. I do feel bad that she doesn't count herself in their little odd family. I mean why should Anko be the only one left out when they all care for each other and it is clear she has feelings for Naruto. I can see her being timid about taking the step but they are already going out of the normal anyway why stop there. When has Anko cared about what others thought of her, she needs to do what makes her happy. And even if she doesn't make the move I hope Haku and Tenten remember what she said and tell Naruto to bring her in so they can all be together. Not to mention her experience could come in handy since Naruto can't seem to figure anything out on his own lol.
And this is great now Zabuza now knows how to find Haku. The only issue is what will happen now that it is in the air. I am less worried about Zabuza then I am for his crazy little apprentice. They will have to put him down and soon I can already see is a danger to Haku.
Something I have been wondering is what will happen with Kushina. I mean it is clear she is still in love with her ex and it is starting to wear her down. I wonder what will happen when she meets up with Naruto for the first time. With him looking so much like him she might fall for him instantly. Who knows what effect that might have on the group. I mean we all know Kushina is attractive even being older and if she revert back to her old personality that would make her all the more charming. But she might go all Yandere on him if he doesn't return her feelings.
Anyway keep up the great 't wait to see what is next
Me: You literally have no idea the time it takes to interpret your reviews! I love it! Also, I do adore how you're really looking into the situations I've put them in, whether they know it or not. And yes, Kimimaro may or may not prove to be a hindrance later on. Will it actually go anywhere? Questions, questions...
Blazeknight: good chapter.
Me: Short reviews get short responses: Thank you. lol
outcastmike: Nice chapter I hope to see the confessions soon and the battle between Konan and Krushina ( I think I spelt it right) I can't wait
Me: That's happening sooner than you realize.
LordTicky: I... Apologize if I really made you explain the thing with Zabuza twice. My only excuse is that I read a LOT of fanfiction and converse with a LOT of writers. Every so often, details between stories will bleed into each other. Anyways, I really enjoyed the update.
Me: No, no, you're fine. It's all good, breh.
Here are some stories that are either being written or have already been completed - which isn't many, mind you.
Left in Silence-Naruto/Kurotsuchi-Romance/Adventure (Will only be a few chapters)
Breaking the Cycle-OC/Azula-Romance/Adventure (This one... I don't know how long this will be. We'll see.)
Saving Venom-Naruto/Anko-Romance/Adventure (I don't want to exceed 20-25 chapters, but I will if I have to.)
Dying in Love-Naruto/Tenten-Romance/Tragedy (Completed)
Eve-OC/Little Sister-Romance/Tragedy (Will only be a few chapters long.)
All these stories will be completed at some point, but it's up to you to leave reviews to let me know just how well I am doing as a writer.
See ya.
