Chapter 16: Breaking Free
As the triumphant group of Akatsuki members returned to Ame, Konan couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of dread as she gazed around at the war-torn scars all around her village. She thought back to her battle with Naruto and couldn't help but feel remorsefulness weighing down upon her. Why did Naruto have to refuse Madara?
Did he even consider what the man offered? Both Naruto and Madara wanted the exact same things, yet they were too stubborn to submit to the other. Konan couldn't help but feel like she made the wrong decision in not helping Naruto. Hell, she should never have even lured him to the Valley of the End in the first place. How could she have known that Naruto would have refused? He probably felt like she betrayed him. That was the thing that made her feel the worst.
Although, the more Konan thought about it, the more she realized that Naruto was really smart in declining Madara. Even she didn't fully understand the crazed Uchiha's plan. All she knew was that he wanted the jinchuuriki for some personal reason. Naruto most likely saw betrayal down the road if he joined Akatsuki.
Naruto…why did she care about him so much? Konan couldn't understand her own emotions. The two hadn't really known each other for very long, but for some reason, she found herself captivated by him. She had never been one to care about relationships or men in general, but the moment she saw him for the first time, Konan knew that he was different.
Her beliefs were proven true on multiple occasions. Even in the heat of their battle, Naruto saved her from killing herself along with him. He could have simply shielded himself and let her die, but instead he chose to save her as well. What kind of person would do something like that? Certainly not the power mad criminal that everybody believed Pein to be. Even during their fight, she felt her heart race as if she was trying to impress him. Part of her reveled in the idea of the infamous, all-powerful Pein joining forces with her. She couldn't help but feel a little bit regretful for being too proud to offer him hospitality. Instead she forced a conflict out of fear of showing weakness. It seemed so ridiculous to her now, but Konan wondered if she would have been able to team up with Naruto like that.
Though, that would mean that the two never would have gotten close like they did in Taki. Konan smiled at the memories of Taki. It was almost amusing, the two of them waking up in chains together. For reasons even she couldn't explain, she felt attached to Naruto at that very moment. Something inside of him seemed to resonate with her as well. She could tell that they were one in the same. Two lost souls seeking power to end their own suffering. Konan could still taste their first kiss after she pledged to help him. 'I'm yours forever, I told him. What did that even mean? Why did I say that? I was just so caught up in the moment…but I suppose I could think of worse things than spending my life with him.'
Her joyful memories of their brief time spent in Taki soon fast forwarded to the moment she decided not to help him. She felt her anger rising at her own inaction. 'Why didn't I help him?! DAMN IT! Why do I care so much about this anyway?! It's not like it could have ever worked…could it?'
"Konan, you seem pretty pissed right now," Kakuzu spoke up breaking the group's banter. Shizune glanced over at the woman and instantly knew what was wrong with her, 'It must be about Naruto. She's been in a bad mood since the Valley of the End.'
Hidan shook his head and laughed, "What's your problem, Konan? Still pissed about the other day? You need to stop being such a bitchy prude."
"Shut up!" Konan yelled as she stopped in her tracks. Everybody else stopped and turned back to look at the woman as she stared furiously at the ground.
Hidan raised a brow amused, "I'm sorry did you say something? Hmph, guess not. You mad, Konan?"
His mocking tone only seemed to make the woman angrier as she refused to make eye contact with anyone. Several surrounding jounin now arrived to greet the entourage, but kept their distance upon seeing their leader's angry demeanor.
"You look like you have something to say, Konan…well don't keep us in suspense," Hidan taunted. Just then, she looked up and sent him the coldest and most ruthless glare ever imaginable. The man felt slightly nervous by the amount of killing intent radiating from the woman.
Konan bit her lower lip before speaking, "I'm tired of you people treating me like shit…I'm tired of this fucking organization!"
Kakuzu looked annoyed by the remark and sighed, "Oh for fuck's sake Konan, don't go and get all emotional on us now. We're all a part of Akatsuki. This is what we signed up for. Hidan is a piece of shit no doubt, but nothing he says has any relevance to anything."
Hidan glanced over at his partner in annoyance, "Thanks for the vote of confidence you damn asshole! You're all just a bunch of little pussies to me."
Konan cracked her knuckles and shook her head, "No, I never signed up to be talked down to by worthless trash like you. I didn't spend my entire life fighting and bleeding to end up being a pawn in some plan I don't even care about!"
"Watch what you say, Konan…you're bordering treason against Akatsuki with comments like those," Shizune cut in smugly.
Before the azure beauty could respond, an all too familiar voice chimed in, "Konan would never betray me…she knows her place very, very well. She knows what I am capable of."
Everybody turned in surprise to see a newly returned Madara along with Sasori and two unconscious individuals. One was a blonde girl and the other was the Kazekage. Hidan noticed the girl first thing and laughed, "Did you snag some spoils of war?!"
Kakuzu face-palmed at the question, "Gods I hate you, Hidan."
Madara sent a fierce glare at Konan signaling her to reign in her attitude before answering, "No, Hidan, this little bitch tried to invade my mind. At first I thought to kill her for doing such a thing, but now I have a much better idea."
"You got hit by Ino's Mind Transfer Jutsu? How exactly did that happen, Tobi-sama?" Shizune asked bewildered. He shrugged carelessly, "Who knows, but I can make really good use of somebody like this. If I'm not mistaken, members of this clan can track people very well am I right?"
Shizune nodded, "Yes, they are one of the best clans when it comes to reconnaissance. Might I ask what you need her for?"
Madara shook his head, "That is none of your concern. Anyways, I see you were successful in capturing the four and five tails. Very good, bring them inside so that I might bind them and then we will await Itachi and Kisame to return.
Sasori looked annoyed as he glanced over at Madara, "So what are we supposed to do with them now?"
"Sasori, I want you to keep an eye on our prisoners here. Make sure they are properly restrained. We need to wait for Itachi and Kisame to return before we can proceed with my plan."
"You still haven't told us anything about this plan yet…" Konan cut in with an annoyed tone.
He waved her off and shook his head, "Everything will become clear in due time. You are all dismissed."
Everybody did as commanded and began to enter Konan's palace. She sighed in annoyance at the sight of them all making themselves at home. She quietly brooded as she wandered down the massive hallway. Occasional jounin came up to report things to her but she simply waved them all off uninterested.
As they progressed further inside, Madara fell back and began to whisper to her, "If your loyalty wavers even one tiny bit, I will break you. Do you understand me, girl?"
She sent him a surprised glance, "I have no doubts; I was simply annoyed by the way the worms were addressing me."
He sent her somewhat approving nod, "Yes…I can understand your frustration. You are after all a village leader…maybe even future queen of the world."
Konan felt a sharp horrible shiver crawl up her spine at the last part. Was Madara insinuating something wrong and disgusting like she thought? She had always known him to be controlling, but this was going to a whole new level. No…she wasn't going to let that nightmare come true. She tried to play it off casually as she walked away without saying anything.
As she made her way down the grand hallway leading to her throne room, Madara's voice sounded once again, "Just remember who owns you, Konan. Not even Naruto can stop me from keeping you. It would be awfully foolish of you to try and escape now wouldn't it?"
She didn't bother replying as she walked through the entrance. Before she knew what had happened, Madara was in front of her, "Come now, Konan, don't walk away from me when I'm talking to you."
She kept a straight face, but on the inside Konan felt creeped out. The azure beauty shifted her eyes carelessly away, "What are you going to do with these jinchuuriki?"
He laughed at her question, "Awfully curious aren't you?"
"I don't buy that bullshit story you keep telling everybody else. I know for a fact you have some personal reason for making us do this," Konan stated callously.
Madara huffed in annoyance, "I don't like your tone, Konan. Ever since I let you become queen of this pissant village, you've grown arrogant and disrespectful. Perhaps you think you don't have to answer to me anymore? Is that it?!"
"I became Amekage when I killed Hanzo by myself…you had nothing to do with my rise to power. I don't owe you anything! I never have…and for the record I don't answer to you." she stated coldly.
Madara sent her a fierce glare, "Oh, is that so? You've answered to me ever since I found you living in squalor in some worthless little town. You lived like a wretched little parasite until I graciously offered you something more!"
"Killing a platoon of jounin and framing me was pretty 'gracious' of you. Of course being hunted like an animal by hunter nin was an added bonus," She muttered darkly.
The Uchiha shrugged as a smile graced his lips, "Oh, but it just seemed to fit so well with your past history. Who would deny you were responsible after what happened the first time. Everybody was so terrified to hear that a fifteen year old girl killed thirty four 'innocent people.' Then she murdered a platoon of Iwa Jounin. Imagine my surprise when this guilty girl had nowhere else to turn except Akatsuki. I was so thankful to have a member with such amazing potential."
She grimaced in anger at the man, "Fuck you! I would gladly live in squalor for the rest of my life to get away from you! I've had enough of you trying to control me! Now tell me what do you want to do with these jinchuuriki!?"
The Uchiha clenched his fist in anger and growled, "You think that you can defy me too?! You're just like my bitch of a daughter, and just like Pein! What a failure of an experiment he turned out to be! What a failure all of you turned out to be! It matters not, because none of you will stand in the way of my plan for the new world!"
Before Konan could respond, Madara clamped her throat and slammed her against a wall. She quickly dispersed and reappeared behind the Uchiha with a fierce glare in her eye. He shook his head and laughed, "My new world will be glorious! Do you want me to show you?"
The azure haired woman didn't say a word as she began to channel her chakra. Madara activated his Tsukuyomi and yelled, "See my new world, Konan!"
Before she could do anything, Konan was caught in an illusion. Time all but seemed to stop as Konan saw a vision of the nine tailed beasts and their hosts.
One by one Madara absorbed them until all that was left was Naruto. Her eyes went wide in horror at the sight of a blade sticking through his chest and blood everywhere. Madara laughed, "So, Naruto, my disappointing experiment…it is time for the two of us to embrace our own destinies!"
The Naruto in Konan's illusion was badly wounded and could barely speak. He coughed heavily, "I will stop you…I swear it!"
Madara backhanded him full force and sent him to the ground, "Shut up you little brat! You thought you were so clever in refusing me at the Valley of the End. Perhaps you were smarter than I gave you credit for, but you cannot truly understand what events led up to this moment hahaha!"
"What are you talking about?" the wounded Rinnegan wielder asked painfully.
"Kyuubi was right to warn you away from me, but even he couldn't fathom what I had in store for you. Your mother was supposed to be my ticket to godhood, but she never awakened the Rinnegan because she never suffered like you did. I recombined the bloodlines…Uchiha, Senju, and Uzumaki in order to create the most powerful bloodline that ever existed! I gave you your eyes, I am responsible for you receiving Kyuubi and now that you lie broken before me, I shall take them back!"
Konan could only watch in horror as Naruto's eyes were ripped from his face causing him to fall over in agony. Madara laughed as he held them both in each hand and channeled chakra into them. He pressed both of his hands against his own Sharingan and screamed in pain as he transplanted the Rinnegan.
Afterwards Konan could only watch in disbelief as Madara sucked Kyuubi out of Naruto's dying body into himself. After he was done he turned over to Konan who was chained to a wall. The woman didn't bother resisting as she hung there helplessly.
She was alarmed to see the Rinnegan had managed to combine with Madara's Sharingan now with nine black tomoe inside of it. The Uchiha walked over to her and beamed maliciously, "Oh dear sweet, beautiful, Konan…you can't die in this illusion, so enjoy your suffering as I demonstrate the grand finale!"
Just then she felt herself being punctured and stabbed repeatedly before Madara set her on fire. She screamed in sheer, unbelievable pain as Madara held his hand up to the moon, "Come now, Juubi! BECOME ONE WITH ME AND WE SHALL BECOME GOD!"
Days felt like they passed as this torture continued. Konan tried several times to simply black out of it, but it was no use. Madara just stood there smugly as she suffered and shook his head, "I'll make this stop when you beg me for forgiveness. Perhaps you can even 'demonstrate' just how sorry you are? Come on you little street rat, beg for your god to forgive you!"
Konan felt a cold shiver throughout her entire body as Madara removed Hanzo's mask from her. He stopped the fire and torture momentarily as he got in her face.
Madara traced a finger down her cheek and cupped her chin forcing her to look him in the eye, "Maybe I'll show you what happens after I become god…" Just then Konan found her inner willpower and dispersed her chakra flow shattering the genjutsu.
Before Madara had time to react she formed a paper spear and charged him, "DIE!" Madara couldn't even react before he found himself impaled him against a wall. He looked completely shocked as blood began to pour from his abdomen. Konan levitated off the ground and formed six paper wings and hissed, "How dare you fucking do that to me! I'll bring down this entire fucking village just to bury you underneath the crater!"
This loud scene quickly attracted a lot of attention as countless jounin flooded into the throne room followed by Hidan, Shizune, and Kakuzu.
They looked shocked to see Madara bleeding out against the wall. "Konan what the fuck's wrong with you?! You attacked leader?!" Hidan demanded.
Before the man had a chance to react he was snagged in paper and brought off the ground to her feet. "What the fuck are you doing, you crazy bitch?!" Hidan yelled. He then saw countless exploding tags slide up his body and shook his head in shock, "What the-"
A huge explosion flashed shaking the entire room and causing many present to take cover. Hidan was surprisingly still intact, but his body was covered in burns. By this time, Madara had pulled the spear out of his stomach and grimaced in pain, "You traitorous little bitch!"
"Amekage-sama, is there anything we can do?" A jounin commander spoke up. She glanced around at her men in the room and shook her head, "Get out of the village…none of you are a match for these guys. Take all of our forces to Taki and wait for me there. If I don't make it, then you will join Pein's army!"
Madara looked as if he was about to try and stop them, but before anybody could react, Konan shielded her men escaping. Madara pulled his mask off and tossed it to the ground, "I underestimated you, Konan…you always were a rebellious little wretch, but to brazenly defy and attack me?! Oh you've crossed the line for the last time!"
"What's going on right now?! How did all this shit happen?!" Kakuzu demanded shocked.
Madara coughed up blood as he briefly fell to a knee, "She has turned against Akatsuki…kill her!"
The Uchiha could barely believe that such a wound affected him so badly. He should have known better than to toy with Konan. 'I left myself exposed…but that won't happen again!' He hissed inwardly as he stood up.
The Uchiha began to heal himself with his powerful chakra and turned to look at Shizune, "Go find Sasori and sedate the jinchuuriki…I don't want anybody taking them. Kakuzu, go with her and make sure to kill anyone that tries!"
"Yes, Lord…" Shizune nodded as she and Kakuzu left as quickly as possible. Hidan on the other hand finally regained composure and tried to stand up, "F-Fuck you, Konan! I'm going to mutilate your fucking corpse!"
Hidan pulled a glowing red stone out of his pocket much to Madara's surprise. Before he had a chance to stab it into his forehead, Konan restrained him and snatched it away. The jagged crystal like stone was warm to the touch and Konan could feel an ominous chakra radiating from it.
The priest reached for his scythe and cut through his restraints. He held up an arm and tried to catch Konan in a blood grip. Unfortunately, he was unsuccessful as she partially dispersed her body and reformed.
"Hidan, what is that stone?!" Madara demanded furiously. Before Hidan could even respond, he watched in horror as Konan jabbed the stone into her own forehead. A column of blood and fire erupted before revealing a demonic black entity.
Madara raised a brow in utter confusion as Hidan fell to his knees, "No…FUCK FUCK FUCK!"
"Ah, Hidan, my faithful servant…you failed me!" Jashin shouted furiously.
He shook his head in horror, "N-no, master, I was perfectly alright with you having my body. They stopped us!"
The demon huffed in disgust, "I no longer need you, mortal…for now I have a much more powerful host! However, I shall reward your many years of service with a quick death!"
Madara simply watched intrigued as Jashin brutally ripped Hidan into pieces and picked up his Scythe. Blood was everywhere.
Jashin turned to Madara and laughed, "Little mortal…you seem awfully calm in the presence of a demon. Might I know why?"
"You're pretty elusive Konan…you were actually willing to let this thing possess you in order to protect yourself from me. I must admit, I am rather impressed by your resolve," Madara stated smugly.
Jashin raised his scythe high and shouted, "Shut up, mortal!"
Madara barely had time to dodge the weapon before Jashin sent him flying with a powerful kick through the wall. He activated his Amaterasu and blanketed the entire area in black flames but was surprised to see the demon unaffected by them.
Jashin casually marched through the enveloping black flames as Madara backed away. "My host has asked me to kill you…so I shall!" Jashin cackled as he channeled a massive orb of black chakra into his free arm.
The demon launched the orb as hard and powerful as he could covering an area too wide for Madara to dodge. Seeing as he had no other options, Madara activated his Susanoo. It was successful in negating the attack and began to fully form.
Jashin watched interested as the huge cloak of chakra fully formed into a warrior around Madara. Wasting no time, he charged another attack and launched it towards Madara. The Uchiha blocked with relative ease, but didn't notice the demon flank him shattering through the side of the armor.
Madara felt one of the scythe blade tips puncture his shoulder before launching Jashin against a nearby building. He arrogantly walked towards the demon and laughed, "Nice trick, demon, but you're not getting through this armor again!"
The Uchiha unleashed a massive amount of chakra causing his Susanoo to double in size.
The demon stood up and began to cackle maniacally, "Oh, but I don't need to. I already have your blood!"
Madara's eyes went wide as Jashin licked the scythe. Before he could even react, Jashin began to stab himself with the scythe repeatedly.
Madara roared in agony as he felt puncture wounds appearing all around his body. "Hahaha! Yes, suffer! BLEED! DIE!" the demon howled as it to claw at its face.
The Uchiha felt blood pouring all over his body and felt light headed. 'How the fuck am I letting something like this happen?! This ends now!' he thought desperately as he channeled as much chakra as possible into healing himself. Jashin looked confused as the Uchiha continued regenerating despite the agonizing torture.
As he reached the demon, Jashin couldn't bring his weapon up in time to block Susanoo's sword from cleaving him against another building. Madara lifted his arms up and caused chakra chains to rain down from all directions restraining the demon in place. He then shattered the stone sticking from its forehead causing a massive explosion of black chakra to level the entire district.
Madara let out a sigh of relief as he examined the aftermath. Konan was completely unconscious and the stone was splintered into a thousand pieces. He then receded his Susanoo as he walked over to take a closer look.
Something interesting caught his eye though. After the stone was destroyed, the black chakra was visibly channeling into Konan. Upon closer inspection, his Sharingan revealed Konan absorbing Jashin's leftover chakra.
Kakuzu and Shizune made their way over in time to see it. "What on earth is happening, Madara-sama?!" Shizune asked bewildered.
"Where is Hidan?" Kakuzu asked shocked.
"Shouldn't you fools be watching the jinchuuriki?!" the raven haired Uchiha asked irritated.
Kakuzu looked away, "Sasori said he had it under control. Plus, that was quite the blast. We thought we should check the situation."
Madara glanced over at the man and laughed, "Well, Hidan won't be around anymore. His master killed him…but I killed the master. Konan tried to pull a fast one by letting that demon possess her in order to fight me."
Kakuzu's eyes shot out in disbelief, "Hidan's dead?! How is that even possible?!"
Shizune shook her head, "Konan let that thing possess her?!"
Madara nodded, "Yes…apparently she was quite desperate, but now the stone is destroyed. Jashin won't be able to manifest anymore. However, with the stone gone, the power left within it has nowhere else to go but to the host."
"So you're saying Konan absorbed its chakra?" the medic nin asked horrified.
"No need to concern yourselves…I will keep her chained up so she won't interfere with our plans," Madara noted.
Kakuzu crossed his arms, "Why don't you just kill her…she's clearly beyond dangerous now."
Madara laughed, "I'm going to use her as bait to draw Naruto here along with the other jinchuuriki ahahahahaha!"
"He doesn't have them all, and we don't either…" Shizune cut in nervously. Madara sent her a fierce glare, "What do you mean he doesn't have all the others? We're soon to have four once Itachi and Kisame return, and he captured the others already."
"Naruto never acquired the six tails from what I understand. Reports say he abducted the Mizukage with his followers. Weren't you the one that was investigating the six tails, Madara-sama?" Shizune explained.
The Uchiha thought for a moment and laughed, "Oh, hahaha, I suppose I'm getting ahead of myself. How could I have forgotten that little bitch kid…I could have sworn Naruto would have picked him up. No matter…I will retrieve him myself. In the mean time, keep Konan in those chains. She won't be able to disperse with chakra chains wrapped around her. I will rely upon you two and Sasori to keep the jinchuuriki sedated until I return, am I understood?"
They both nodded, "Of course Madara-sama."
"Hey, what about that girl you captured? What should we do with her?" Kakuzu asked.
Madara thought for a moment before a smile plastered his face, "I will bring her with me."

Konan wroth in agony as she finally awakened. She quickly surveyed her surroundings and found that she was chained up at the top of her palace tower. A sharp shiver tingled throughout her body as rain began to fall.
The azure beauty tried to disperse but was unable to much to her disbelief. 'What the hell happened? Last thing I remember was…THE STONE?! It was destroyed! Then I guess I lost. Why am I still alive though? This makes no sense!'
A feeling of hopelessness began to eat away at her as she lied there helplessly unsure of what to do. 'Naruto, I wish you were here…why didn't I go with you?! Why was I so stupid?!' She screamed in her head.
Konan couldn't believe her own weakness as tears began to freely fall down her face. She looked around at the view of her war-torn village. It was empty thanks to her order…but at the same time that just made it that much more depressing. However she was thankful that nobody was there to see her crying.
The woman closed her amber eyes tightly and decided just to think. Konan's head was spinning, 'I wish I could just leave…fly away and never come back. But I have nowhere to go now. No have no place in this world. This is my punishment…for Naruto.'
Deep in her own personal torment, Konan didn't notice Shizune come up the stairs, "You seem so upset today, Amekage…is Naruto-kun on your mind?"
Konan's eyes widened in hatred as she turned to see the malicious Shizune staring at her. "What do YOU want?" Konan asked annoyed.
The azure beauty did her best to fight back more tears. "You know, I wonder how Naruto-kun is doing right now. Probably off bedding countless women and wreaking destruction in the east. A true man wouldn't you say? I don't blame you for liking him so much, Konan. He is a really special person…and not just because of his bloodline or Kyuubi. Naruto has always been able to bring out the best in people…even as a notorious, evil warlord hahaha. I mean I just find it so unusual that somebody like you was able to develop feelings for him."
The chained woman didn't give Shizune the satisfaction of a response as she blankly glared at her. Shizune sighed, "You know I'll bet you regret not escaping with him. You could be off with him right now. I wonder though…why did you sell him out?"
Konan's tears began streaming uncontrollably at the thought but she stubbornly remained silent. "I know that if I was in your shoes, I would have sided with Naruto. We could have made a romantic getaway and then he could have unleashed his carnal desires upon his beloved Shizune-neechan," the woman giggled.
Konan sent her a look of disbelief and bit her lip, 'No Konan, don't take her bait…Don't do it.'
"What do you mean neechan?" Konan asked much to her own regret.
Shizune beamed at the question, "Well…I suppose this must be very awkward for you, but when Naruto-kun was younger, he and I were pretty close. Of course he was a different person back then…so loyal and determined to become Hokage that it was almost inspiring. I always admired his spirit. It really is a shame that he gave up on that dream though. Konoha would have been invincible with him as its Hokage."
"They don't deserve, Naruto!" Konan shouted angrily.
The medic nin nodded her head in agreement, "Yes, I agree with you there. Though I suppose nobody deserves him except you, am I right? Why would a backstabber like you deserve somebody like him?"
Konan refused to answer as she continued staring in the distance. She couldn't believe how deep Shizune's words were cutting her.
"I'm sorry…" Konan whispered barely audible. Shizune looked at her perplexed, "What?"
"I'm sorry for what I did, Naruto…wherever you are I just wish you're okay," Konan muttered to the wind.
"You know…just between the two of us, I know where he is right now," Shizune whispered very quietly.
The azure haired beauty's amber eyes lit up in shock, "What? How?! Why haven't you told Madara?"
Shizune shook her head and frowned, "You know the only difference between our current situations is you are in chains and I'm not."
"Where is Madara? Why didn't he kill me?!" Konan demanded.
Shizune covered the woman's mouth, "Shhh…I am positive Zetsu is in the village right now, so there isn't much time. Sasori and Kakuzu are both preoccupied at the moment as well."
The medic nin leaned in closer, "Madara isn't in the village at the moment, he's off retrieving the six tails. That freak's mind has grown more and more corrupt and perverted over the years. To be quite honest I'm afraid of doing anything to displease him anymore. You saw that vision for yourself right? He tortures and manipulates people to do his bidding with his Sharingan. I've been under his control longer than you…so trust me I get it."
"W-what are you talking about?" Konan whispered back in shock. She didn't know whether or not she could believe Shizune's words.
Shizune sighed, "It's horrible isn't it? Never knowing when he'll show up, never knowing what he might do? Had I known Naruto's power before the events at the Valley of the End, I might have done what Deidara did. Just so you know, Naruto was recently spotted in Kiri kidnapping the Mizukage with his minions. If my guess is right, he's probably going to regroup in his primary base at Oto."
Konan didn't make eye contact as she quietly responded, "How can I ever trust a single word from your lips? Sounds like you're baiting me for some kind of trap."
"You don't have to trust me…just know that you are not alone in this nightmare." Shizune said almost inaudibly. At that moment, the two women shared deep empathy for one another. Much to Konan's utter disbelief, Shizune removed the chains binding her to the wall. She felt weak and collapsed to the ground, but was surprised when the other woman caught her.
"You've been pretending this entire time?" Konan asked in disbelief.
Shizune nodded, "I've been a spy for Madara since I was a child. He's always threatened me to keep me from escaping. Even when I was with Tsunade I always felt as if he was watching me. To be honest, I had given up hope on getting away from that lunatic until recently. However, after seeing Naruto again, so strong and defiant…It was like seeing the same person who stood up to Orochimaru as a kid. Only this time, he was like a knight in shining armor who could save me from Madara."
The azure haired woman looked at her disbelievingly, "You really care about Naruto then huh?"
Shizune nodded, "I envy his companions…to have somebody like him protecting me would be all I would ever want. Well that and other things."
The medic nin began to heal the injured woman much to her relief. Her amber eyes looked away as she spoke, "So, what happens now? Why did you free me?"
"We're getting out of here. I 'forgot' to sedate the jinchuuriki earlier and I'm sure they'll be awake any time now. It'll be enough to throw a kink in Madara's plan for now." Shizune answered. Konan's eyes widened as she frantically leapt to her feet, "We need to escape then."
"It's only a matter of time before Itachi and Kisame get here with the eight tails. If the others can deal with Kakuzu and Sasori before they arrive, they'll probably flee to Konoha for the summit meeting that's been called." She answered.
Konan thought for a moment, "Summit Meeting?"
"We need to leave now, Konan, are you good to fly?" the brunette asked nervously.
She nodded, "Yes, you say Naruto is in Oto? Let's hurry there." Konan levitated off the ground and sprouted six paper wings. Without even hesitating, Shizune, wrapped her arms and legs around Konan as the woman took off.

Naruto tossed and turned in his bed trying desperately to fall asleep. His mind had been in a million places at once stressing what to do next and how to deal with all of his subordinates now. He sighed in frustration as he got out of his bed and walked down the hallway to his office. Upon opening the door, he noticed Guren and Tayuya both talking about recent events.
Guren was lounged comfortably in Naruto's chair and was scantily clad in her night garments. Tayuya was facing away from the door and didn't notice him walk in, "So yeah, what did it feel like when he did that glowing resurrection thing to you?"
"I don't know…it felt really good though," Guren blushed. Tayuya perked up interested, "Well I can't deny that I'm curious. So what's the deal with these other bitches he's hanging out with now? I mean is there anything happening between them? Who's his actual girlfriend right now?"
The crystal kunoichii giggled as she spotted a shirtless Naruto's bewildered expression behind Tayuya. She pretended to be oblivious to Naruto and shrugged at Tayuya, "I don't know, maybe they're all his girlfriends."
Tayuya scoffed, "Don't be ridiculous. What girl in her right mind would go for that? As far as guys go, Naruto is a pretty good catch, but I doubt any of those bitches would share him."
Guren almost broke her bearing as a small smile graced her lips at Naruto's expression. He remained silent much to Guren's approval as the woman continued to allow Tayuya to dig a deeper hole.
"Well, I've heard about stuff like this before…it's not that common among normal people, but none of us are normal. I for one don't really have a problem being in Naruto's harem…as long as he gives me some attention every now and then," Guren said the last part in a sultry seductive manner.
Tayuya raised a brow, "You're crazy. It would take a lot of convincing for me to agree to something like that."
"Maybe you could ask Naruto…I'm sure he'd be willing to oblige," Guren laughed causing Tayuya to blush crimson.
She shook her head and groaned, "Yeah right, I wonder how that would go. 'Oh hey, Naruto, can I jump on your bandwagon of bitches and fuck you?'"
"Well I suppose you could ask him now…he's right there!" Guren fell out of the chair laughing causing Tayuya to turn around horrified. "W-what?! N-N-Naruto?! How long have you been standing there?!"
"He's been there the entire time hahaha!" Guren laughed hysterically as she stood up.
Tayuya embarrassedly tried to leave the room but was blocked by Guren who was smiling menacingly. "Oh, Tayuya, don't be shy. I mean he is right here already half naked. Naruto looked at the two women curiously, "You're acting awfully feisty tonight, Guren. What's got into you?"
She licked her lips and thought for a moment, "Well hopefully you will by the end of the night, but I'm just feeling all jittery and excited since you're back."
"Must be a side-effect of being separated from my Rinnegan's power for a prolonged period of time," Naruto noted.
Guren walked over to the jinchuuriki as seductively as possible and without hesitation pressed her lips against his. After a brief makeout, Guren laughed, "Tayuya come jump on the bandwagon with me."
The red head awkwardly stood there unsure of what to do in this situation. She blushed furiously at the thought of what could possibly happen depending on her next actions.
Guren made her way over to Tayuya and grabbed her hand pulling her closer to Naruto. "Come on, don't be so shy. I mean you seemed so sure about this a moment ago."
"Guren, you're making this awkward for me." Tayuya spoke up shyly. The crystal kunoichii giggled at Tayuya's behavior.
"If you feel uncomfortable, Tayuya, you don't have to," Naruto cut in. Tayuya looked at him desperately worried, "NO NO, I never said that I didn't want to…it's just I feel weird with her in here too."
Guren sighed as she glanced at Naruto, "Be gentle with her. she's probably a virgin or something. I'll be in your bedroom. Once she's had enough you can come fuck me to your heart's content…or your cock's."
Without another word Guren left the office. Tayuya quickly rushed over and locked the door before sighing in relief. It was then she felt extremely hot being locked alone in a room with Naruto. She pulled her hat off and let her hair free as she turned around and met an amused Naruto sitting cross armed on his desk.
Without another word she wrapped her arms around Naruto's neck and began to kiss him forcefully. She moaned in pleasure as the man groped her ass. "This better not be a fucking dream!" She yelled between kisses.
Tayuya pinned Naruto down over the desk and she ran her hands over his stomach. "Hey, Naruto…how do you feel about roleplaying?" she suggested with a grin as she straddled him.
"I don't know…I never really tried it before," he answered honestly. The redhead laughed, "Hell yeah…I get to be your first sexual roleplaying experience!"
Naruto gave her a quizzical look, "So what exactly do we do?"
The fiery redhead licked her lips, "I want you to tie me up and pretend I'm some girl you kidnapped."
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! Okay she's my new favorite!" Kyuubi laughed hysterically.
The jinchuuriki gave her a bizarre look, "Is this why you didn't want Guren in here?"
"I want you to tie me up and have your way with me! I'm going to stay in character…so don't stop okay?"
"I don't know how I feel about this…" he trailed off.
"Well this is going to be a classic right here hahaha!" Kyuubi chuckled.
Tayuya quickly searched the room and found some rope. "Tie me up tight! I'm about to get into character!"
'Well…this ought to be interesting.'
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A somewhat exhausted Naruto was leaving his office after a long eventful session with Tayuya. The red head was currently passed out naked on his desk covered in a blanket. He was just thankful that the room was soundproof because she probably would have been loud enough to wake up the entire building. He finally felt like he was tired enough to get some well-deserved rest.
As he plopped down on his bed, he felt another body lying next to him. It was then he remembered what Guren said. 'Oh shit…I forgot about this. I'm too tired right now.'
"You chose to have this many mates…it would be less than fitting for you to deny this one now," Kyuubi commented.
'I'm never going to get over how creepy it is that you're in my head watching it. You cheering me on while I was with Tayuya was beyond weird.' Naruto noted.
"No…creepy was being in Kushina's head. She was quite…wild I suppose you could say."
'I didn't need that visual…I could have gone the rest of my life without ever picturing you watching my mother have sex,' Naruto responded dryly.
"Imagine how I felt. Although at least she didn't talk to me about it. Well she didn't really talk to me at all come to think of it. At any rate, deal with your mate here so we can discuss tactics," Kyuubi ordered.
Agreeing with the fox's statement, he immediately wrapped an arm around the body lying in bed with him. It was pitch black in the room, but Naruto could make out the outline of the spiky haired purple kunoichi. A surprised yelp came from her lips feeling Naruto's arm reaching under the sheets.
It didn't take long before the woman was pulling his pants off. She then flipped their positions and straddled him. Much to his surprise, Naruto discovered that she was already naked. He laughed, "You don't waste any time do you?"
She pushed him down on the bed and forced her tongue into his mouth as she held his arms down. He felt himself getting more and more turned on by the woman's silent sexual aggression. As she broke their kiss for air she laughed, "Oh, Naruto, I love how wrong this is. It makes it that much better hahaha. I always knew you thought I was hot. Did you ever fantasize about this?"
The woman's voice was clearly not Guren's. Naruto perked his head up in surprise, "Wait, you're not Guren?"
Just then a light turned on and a scantily clad Guren was standing in the doorway with an annoyed glare on her face. "Naruto…just what the hell are you doing with her?"
"Wait, Guren! This isn't what it looks like, I thought she was you," Naruto spoke up in defense before he even actually realized who was on top of him. One quick look at the woman revealed her to be none other than the nymphomaniac snake mistress, Anko.
Anko glanced over at Guren's flustered expression and laughed, "I was just lying in bed, and he decided to have his way with me. Who am I do deny our leader?"
"You were lying naked in his bed? Get the fuck out of here slut. Naruto's mine right now!" Guren said irritated.
Anko pressed her bare chest against Naruto's face and held the back of his head, "Oh but my precious student wants to fuck his old sensei!"
Naruto pulled his face out of her soft chest and laughed, "Since when were you ever my sensei?"
Anko sent him a seductive glare, "I was your sexual education instructor…don't you remember? I gave you all those naked pictures of me."
"Wait what? That never happened! Guren wait, listen, I don't know what she's talking about!" Naruto explained. Anko covered his mouth with her hand and looked over at Guren with an amused smile, "We've been lovers for a long time…by default I have priority over you."
Guren sent Naruto a disapproving glare, "You can't be serious…I thought you and I were going to do it tonight. Hell I even left you and Tayuya alone just out of kindness."
The snake mistress glanced back down at Naruto with an approving nod, "Fucking all these women, and you're still not satisfied? Don't worry…I'll make sure you're tired this time."
Naruto blushed at the woman's demeanor. Part of him still felt awkward having a former instructor seducing him. Yet at the same time, he couldn't help but imagine what kinds of kinky things Anko would do.
The crystal Kunoichi locked the door behind herself and crossed her arms, "I'm not leaving until you fuck me…she'll have to wait her damn turn!"
"Hey…how's about you join us? We're all sluts here. The more the merrier!" Anko suggested.
Guren gave her a disapproving glare, "Who are you calling a slut? I have standards after all!"
"Guren, don't be like that…if you're onboard with this little entourage, then you better lighten the fuck up," Anko laughed as she went back to making out with Naruto.
(Fanservice No Jutsu…Ugh I mean Lemon Alert)
The sight annoyed Guren who ran over and tackled the naked woman off the bed and to the ground. Anko quickly straddled the woman's back and held her arms down as she started grinding against Guren. The snake mistress moaned loudly as Guren struggled to get up.
The purple haired seductress began to lick Guren's ear and whispered, "Naruto and I are going to make your fantasies come true."
"Get the fuck off of me!" Guren shouted as she managed to roll over and pin Anko down. Seizing the opportunity, Anko wrapped her legs around Guren's back and started bucking against her stomach. It wasn't long before Guren felt a hot moisture around over her shirt.
Anko moaned louder as she flailed into it harder. "Naruto, she's dry humping me! Get her off!" Guren shouted as she tried to stand up.
"Looks like wet humping to me," he laughed. Finally after wrestling her arms free, Guren threw the woman across the room onto the ground.
The purple haired seductress just shook her head and chuckled, "Well if you're going to be like that, you can just watch us instead."
Anko immediately pounced Naruto onto the bed and positioned herself over him before sliding down hard. She let out a coo of pleasure and leaned back as she bit her lip.
"I want you to fuck me in front of her until she's dripping wet!" Anko commanded as she began to slam up and down at a ridiculous speed. Naruto felt as if his manhood was about to snap off by the woman's sheer force. Yet at the same time, her pace nearly caught him surprise causing him to let out a loud moan.
"I'm going to fuck you dry, Naruto! I'm going to fuck you so hard that just the mere thought of me will make you cum!" Anko moaned pleasurably as she rode harder and harder.
Guren couldn't help but be turned on by the sight of Naruto squirming underneath Anko's sexual domination. The woman clearly had a lot of experience and was having her way with him.
'Holy shit, I don't know how long I can last with her at this rate!' Naruto thought as reached his arms up to cup her breasts. Anko yelped in surprise as he squeezed her curvaceous boobs and temporarily stopped bucking as she leaned back and moaned.
Unable to watch it anymore, Guren quickly undressed herself and pushed Anko off of Naruto causing both of them to groan in ecstasy. Anko remained motionless for a moment as she felt her dripping wet pussy and caught her breath.
Wasting no time, Guren grabbed his erect manhood and began to stroke it. Naruto groaned in pleasure as she began to bob her head up and down. While she was distracted, by Naruto, Guren didn't notice Anko get behind her and stick her fingers inside of her pussy. "OHH!" Guren squealed before she started choking. She took her mouth off of Naruto's cock leaving it covered in saliva and turned back in shock to see Anko eating her out from behind.
She released a loud moan as ectasy washed over her entire body. "It feels so good..." she muttered before quickly before regaining her senses. She quickly kicked Anko off the bed turned around to face the woman as she lowered herself onto Naruto.
Anko looked over and grinned devilishly at the sight of Guren riding him in reverse. The crytal kunoichi sent her a smug glare as she moaned loudly. Despite this, Anko simply took advantage of the woman's position and began to make out with her. Naruto grabbed Guren's boobs from behind as she bucked up and down causing her to stop for a moment. She lifted up slightly but almost screamed when Naruto started bucking into her from below.
"AHHHH! N-N-Naruto!" she barely muttered before Anko's tongue silenced her.
Anko grinned devilishly after breaking the kiss as a great idea came to her mind. The snake mistress motioned for Naruto to shift Guren down to where her face was between Anko's legs. Guren could barely stop herself from squealing as Naruto fucked her from behind. Taking advantage of this, Anko pressed the woman's face over her pussy.
"Oh yeah, scream into it, you slut! Put your tongue in too!" Anko moaned as she forcefully bobbed Guren's head around. Guren surrendered to ecstasy as she began to lick Anko fervently. The snake mistress squirmed and writhed as Guren began to flail her head and hum.
Anko glanced up and licked her lips when she saw the look on Naruto's face. "My turn again!" She then rolled Guren over and reversed their positions. Anko waved her ass in front of Naruto, "Oh no, I've been captured! Please don't hurt me, Pein, I'll do ANYTHING if you let me live!"
Naruto looked at her amused, "I've already sailed that ship tonight…hahaha."
Without wasting another second, he grabbed the woman's hips and began to slam her from behind. Anko moaned uncontrollably and then began to eat Guren out.
The crystal Kunochi began to shake and convulse from it, "Oh god, I'm about to cum!"
Anko then stuck two fingers in and hooked them up before jerking up and down repeatedly causing Guren to squirt everywhere. "AHHHHHH! Fuck! AHHH Oh! OOOOooh!"
Guren was shaking from her orgasm and panted heavily as she met the overly satisfied look of Anko. The snake mistress flipped her off and laughed, "You lose, Guren, ahahaha!"
Naruto felt as if he wasn't far behind and kept his breath steady. Much to his surprise however, Anko flipped around and spread her legs into a missionary position. She grabbed her boobs and squeezed them hard as Naruto continued.
"Oh yeah, that's right! Look into my eyes, I want you to look at me when you do it!" Anko moaned between words. Guren looked on in envy as the two were reaching their climaxes. "I want us to come together! You ready?! OH! OHHHH!" She screamed as she and Naruto both achieved their climax. Anko's hands were wrapped around Naruto's back and began to claw wildly as the two rode out their orgasms.
They continued until Naruto finally collapsed over in exhaustion. Anko looked down at her dripping wet pussy and giggled in pleasure, "Well that was long overdue."
(Lemon Is over)
Guren took this opportunity to crawl over Anko and onto Naruto, "I told you I'm not leaving until you fuck me…that thing she did doesn't count!"
"Yeah…just give me a few minutes," he laughed.
'Oh Kyuubi…it's another one of those nights where I don't get to sleep.'
"Too bad…"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The next day, Naruto woke to Guren and Anko both naked beside him. He let out a sigh, 'I need to deal with Yagura today…'
Naruto tried to get up but was stopped as Anko pulled him back down, "No don't go yet."
He looked over at the woman and saw her grinning at him with a distant look on her face. "Good morning sensei," he joked causing the woman to giggle in delight.
"Wow, you're a fun fuck Naruto…I hope I was able to sate your appetite because there is plenty more where that came from," Anko said sexily as she straddled him again.
"Yeah, I look forward to it…but right now I have to deal with some stuff, Anko. I feel like I've been on vacation for the last two weeks," Naruto replied. Anko looked slightly put off by his comment, but quickly cheered up when he pulled her into a hug and kissed her.
"I'm glad you came, Anko…though I must admit I'm kind of curious why?" Naruto asked.
The snake mistress looked away and sighed, "I remember the day you left, Konoha…the moment I saw you outside of the village without your headband, I knew what was going on."
"Did you ever regret not stopping me?" he asked curiously. She gave him an amused look and shook her head, "Hell no! To be honest…I wish I would have gone with you. Konoha has never felt like home to me. I can understand why you left. I would have left for the exact same reason. Those people judged us before they even got to know who we really were."
Naruto nodded in agreement, "Leaving Konoha was probably the best decision I made in my entire life. That god damned council was quick to condemn me over so much pointless bullshit. So what happened after I left exactly?"
Anko shrugged, "It was stupid…everybody acted like they were so surprised and hurt that you were gone. Personally, it annoyed the hell out of me."
"Looking back on it now, I just can't believe I let people treat me like shit for all those years," Naruto said distantly as he recalled his past.
"To be honest, Sasuke is probably the most sincere person about you going missing. Whatever you did to him back then completely changed him."
"It's just crazy all of this started with him and me. I was really against it at first, but Guren and Kimimaro seem pretty confidant that he's proven his loyalty. Hopefully, we can be friends again," Naruto replied.
"You know Tsunade wa-" Anko started but was quickly silenced as Naruto covered her mouth. "I don't want to talk about this anymore," he stated callously. She nodded her head with understanding and rolled off of him.
As Naruto got out of bed and put his pants on, Anko spoke up, "Outcasts like us should always stick together. If the world wants to hate us for being different, then they can go to hell."
He turned and smiled at the woman, "You're not an outcast anymore, Anko…I'll always be here for you."
Her heart began to race extremely fast as her cheeks went crimson. Anko couldn't believe how flustered that comment just made her feel.
She quickly looked away with a massive blush plastered over her face, "You really mean that don't you?"
Before he even had time to process the situation, Anko had her arms around his neck and was kissing him desperately.
No more words were spoken between the two as a crimson faced Anko backed away and went back to the bed. Naruto gave her one last smile before exiting the room.
Upon closing the door behind him, Naruto awkwardly met the passing gaze of Haku who gave him a suspicious glance. "Did you sleep well, Naruto?" Haku asked carefully.
He awkwardly rubbed the back of his head, "Ugh…not as well as I'd like, but for the most part yeah."
"Why do you have so many women, Naruto? Am I not enough for you?" Haku asked jealously. He gave her a surprised look.
Before he could answer, she grabbed his hand and placed it over her curvaceous chest. "I don't approve of you being such a whore…but if you're going to be that way, then I want more sex," Haku whispered seductively.
Naruto stood there quietly as Haku began to rub his hand up and down her chest before sticking it further down. "I think you've bitten off more than you can chew, kit. This is happening way too often now."
A soft moan escaped her lips as she blushed. Just then, a sultry red head came around the corner with a casual look of boredom. She quickly noticed the scenario and shook her head, 'What an amateur.'
Haku was quick to yelp in surprise when she spotted Mei. "What are you doing here?"
Mei crossed her arms and raised a brow, "It's your turn to watch Yagura…come now hurry up, princess."
The snow princess grimaced in disbelief as Mei shooed her down the hallway before turning back to Naruto.
"So I've got a question for you, Naruto," Mei asked as she began to catwalk towards him. As she made her way closer she swayed her hips, "So, out of all of us, who would you say is the best in bed?"
Much to her embarrassment, Fu came walking from behind and pushed her against the wall, "Clearly me since I have two scores and all of you only have one."
Mei brushed a hand through her hair and laughed, "Oh is that right? Well quantity doesn't beat quality. You might be his go to girl for a quicky, but I'm his vixen."
"MEI! You lying bitch! It's not my turn to watch Yagura!" Haku shouted as she came charging around the corner. Fu and Mei were both surprised as the woman tackled Mei to the ground.
As this scene unfolded, they didn't notice Naruto make a quick escape into a nearby room. He let out a quick sigh of relief, 'Damn…they've grown awfully attached to me lately. How the hell am I ever going to get anything done around here?!'
Naruto took a moment to look around the room to determine his surroundings. He was shocked when he noticed a petrified Yugito lying there with sheets draped across her front. She had a deathly shocked look on her face.
"W-what are you doing in my room?!" She yelled frantically. Naruto heard the fighting outside in the hallway dying down and looked back at her worried, "Shhh…they'll hear you."
Yugito was about to scream before Naruto managed to cover the distance and cup her mouth. She immediately assumed the worst and started clawing at him. He grimaced in pain as the woman bit him and tried to kick him where it hurts. Thankfully he managed to block the kick but fell off the bed taking the sheet covering Yugito with him.
"W-wait, this is a misunderstanding, Yugito…I just need you to be quiet so they don't find me," Naruto whispered desperately as he stood up pulling the sheets off of him. One quick look and he noticed an embarrassed Yugito covering her chest and crotch, "You pervert!"
Naruto heard shuffling outside in the hallway, "Where did Naruto go?"
Much to his utter relief he heard Zabuza's voice, "He went outside that way."
'Oh thank you, Zabuza…now I just have to get out of here,' Naruto thought as he started heading to the exit.
"So you just thought you'd come into my room and have your way with me, is that it?" Yugito shrieked.
Naruto tried to open the door and escape, but found the handle wouldn't move.
'Very funny, Zabuza…' he sent a mental message to the swordsman which was met with the sound of quiet, barely restrained laughter on the other side of the door.
"What kind of a sick pervert are you?!" Yugito demanded as she quickly covered herself in the sheet.
Naruto turned around slowly, "I'm sorry, I didn't know anybody was in here, I wouldn't have come in here if I knew you were naked."
"Yeah you would have…you just can't restrain yourself anymore knowing there's a woman in here who you haven't defiled," Yugito spoke up dramatically.
He sighed, "Don't you think you're being a bit overdramatic…I am sorry for the misunderstanding, I'll just be on my way now."
"Wait!" she shouted much to his complete surprise. Naruto could hear the sound of furious scribbling from outside the door.
"What?" he asked confused as the woman shyly looked away.
Yugito took a few deep breaths before mustering the courage to speak, "Why would you be hiding in here from those other women? Don't you get off on screwing everything that moves?"
Naruto glanced at the door and back at her, "It's fun, but distracting…I have stuff I need to do today."
She huffed in disapproval, "Your stupid little concubines or girlfriends or whatever they are to you, kept me up all night with their screaming!"
"Oh…sorry," he chuckled.
She scowled at him, "That's not supposed to be funny! You should be ashamed of yourself. I'm pretty sure you've fucked every girl in your company except for me! You're just some kind of crazed, perverted, sex demon."
"Why do you care?" he asked interested.
She sent him a cold glare, "Don't get any funny ideas…you disgust me. This little fan club of yours just isn't normal. I want to know why they all like you so much. You don't seem like anything special to me!"
Naruto shrugged at her insult, "I don't know what you want me to say…"
"You think you're so hot don't you ? That you can get any girl you want? Or for that matter every girl you want?!" She scoffed.
The jinchuuriki took a few steps closer to her and sat on the bed much to her surprise. She timidly backed away from him, "W-what are you doing?"
"Nothing, in fact, let's talk about you for a little bit, Yugito…tell me how your life was as a jinchuuriki," he suggested.
She bit her lip and looked away, "How do you think?! You wouldn't care anyways…so just go away."
Naruto sighed as he stood up, "Things don't have to be like this between us. I can understand, you probably feel like I'm trying to take advantage of you. Believe me, the thought would never cross my mind. We can just be friends if you want…or you can keep pretending like you're a victim and complain about my hospitality. Just keep in mind that there are worse people than me in the world. I'm the only thing keeping you safe from Akatsuki."
Without another word, he stood up and made his way to the door. Zabuza was no longer in the hallway much to his relief.
Yugito awkwardly fell back onto her bed and sighed in frustration, 'The thought never even crossed his mind once?'
