Chapter 8
The new day brought with it the time to start the next wave of fights with the winners of the first round. The prince wasn't particularly excited about them and at the most wondered who would be added to his increasing pool of quite interesting concubines.
Dazed from the battles and the strain it took to somehow juggle so many so women so suddenly in his life, Naruto took a bath and came out of it clad only in a towel when Ten-Ten entered in his room pushing his breakfast.
The weapons mistress blushed before Naruto who having grown somewhat used to having so many women around simply started to eat his breakfast.
Ten-Ten ogled him while he finished his breakfast and giving him a wink, left when done.
Sighing Naruto changed and went to his balcony where his companions and concubines awaited him to start a new day of combats.
The girls though grimaced when his eyes went alive upon seeing Sakura amidst the waiting contenders on the arena.
Taking the scroll with the matches he stood up and said "For the first fight of the day we have Sakura Haruno against Temari Sabaku!"
With that both Sakura and Temari eyed one another with respect for each other's skills and strength and together walked to the ring where their fate would be determined.
Adopting their stances both awaited Naruto's signal to begin.
"Begin!" shouted Naruto and both girls remained watching one another looking for weaknesses but upon finding none both smiled.
"You have true strength" said Temari with a smirk.
"Thanks, your form is flawless" replied Sakura taking a first step and then a lunge at Temari with a wide arc of her halberd.
Temari spun her scythe around and blocked the attack for a moment before the brutal strike batted the scythe aside surprising Temari over the real strength of her opponent and the power behind her attacks.
Still, Scythes are not only power weapons but also quite deadly agile ones, so using the power behind Sakura's strike she brought about her scythe in a decapitating arc which Sakura managed to dodge for her sight never left the weapon's movement.
But Temari wasn't done and using the fact that Sakura was focused on her weapon she managed to close the distance and deliver a solid kick to her currently exposed stomach but due to the thick armor she resented it with the jarring of her leg.
Wanting to return the favor Sakura delivered a punch of her gauntleted hand that did manage to wind Temari over not expecting it and wearing lighter armor.
Knowing that Sakura had the upper hand in terms of power and defense, Temari resorted to her true strength; Speed.
She withdrew from Sakura who didn't give chase since she knew the desert princess was up to something.
"Let's see how you fare against the desert's storm" said Temari lowering her scythe's blade to just above the floor and taking a long breath she started to spin it first in a circular motion with her hands.
But as it won momentum the scythe began to spin by its own inertia making it go faster and faster and to Sakura's surprise Temari somehow managed to keep control of the wild spinning weapon.
Temari then let out of her breath and taking a first step she started to spin the scythe around her entire body in completely random arcs creating a deadly sphere that would shred anything that went within it's reach.
Sakura gulped recognizing the danger of such a technique and regretted she didn't stopped her while the scythe was moving slowly.
Tempting her luck Sakura made a straight lunge at Temari and as expected the scythe came around batting the Halberd with astounding force and using the bouncing effect the Sabaku princess brought about the blade for Sakura from a downward angle.
Sakura barely managed to block with her gauntlet and grimaced when it saw that the scythe nearly managed to cut through. If it had been a direct hit she would have seen her arm cleaved.
Trying to make sense of a pattern Sakura tried again to interrupt the attack with greater strength and this time she was rewarded with an attack that came from bellow and nearly clove her in two from the groin.
"There is no rhyme to this attack! If I attack, I get batted and countered almost instantly and never see where it came from" thought Sakura as he saw an almost hypnotized Temari amidst the furious storm of black metal spinning around her.
Sakura tried different angles from where to attack but it didn't matter for whether it was from above or below; her strike was blocked and immediately countered with a near killing blow.
Panting and quite worried over the shrinking space Temari gave her, Sakura thought "If I could only stop it for a moment…"
In the next instant she saw the ground in front of Temari and made a gamble
She advanced into the maelstrom and the people gasped over seeing such a desperate and quite suicidal move.
But Sakura instead of driving her halberd forwards, she directed the tip of it straight to the ground in front of Temari's advance. She drove the point hard into the tiles of the floor and the second Temari made a new step her scythe crashed against the halberd.
Since the halberd was stuck in the ground, the scythe failed to move it out of the way and instead it was struck back breaking Temari's trance like state only to see Sakura rise back to her feet and a large gauntleted fist go for her.
Temari closed her eyes but instead of feeling the impact she felt armored fingers close around her throat and a solid impact on her stomach wind her and make her loose her grip on the scythe which flew freely scaring Shion and Konan who were watching closely.
Sakura drove Temari to the ground and straddling her delivered a second punch to Temari's gut and closing her throat managed to suffocate her quickly.
Temari lost consciousness for a moment but was enough for Naruto to declare a bewildered Sakura the winner of the match.
Upon standing up, Sakura helped Temari back to her feet and said "That was a great match…I am sorry though that you have to become a concubine though"
Temari smiled at her kindness and shaking her head said "It's no shame to lose before such a fine warrior. I may have failed on the arena, but I still have my duty to carry me onwards. I hope you'll win and make your dreams come true"
Sakura nodded and handing Temari to the guards said "If I become Queen…I'll see to your people's wellbeing"
Temari nodded her thanks and left with head held high to face her new life as a concubine to the Uzumaki.
Ino watched as Temari was led to her new life and though she wanted to smirk and gloat at her defeat she just couldn't shake the nagging feeling that somehow they were worthier than her to become Queen.
"I love my country too…" hissed Ino turning away and focusing on the next match.
Naruto let out a sigh of relief upon Sakura's victory and standing up called "Shion against Konan!"
Shion smirked giving Konan a smug confident look and with a light jump climbed to the stage of their fight.
Konan didn't seem to care for Shion's unspoken taunt and walking climbed after her opponent waiting for Naruto to start the match.
"Begin!" declared Naruto letting the roar of the crowd serve as a signal.
Konan's first move was to extend her arm and from it a thin blade of paper unfolded and folded itself into shape. Once it was done she lunged at Shion was muttering a silent prayer while she dodged the first two swings of Konan.
Shion skipped back and grimaced upon noticing a thin blood mark on her arm despite never feeling the cut in the first place.
"Even air can cut if properly used" said Konan in an attempt at a taunt.
Shion finished her prayer and in her hand a white fire ball ignited as she said "Well, air might be a useful weapon but Fire is a tried and true. Isn't that right origami girl?"
Konan recognized the danger and folding her blade she jumped back to put space enough to dodge the obvious attack.
Shion smirked and threw the ball which increased its size as it advanced forcing Konan to unfold a set of wings and take up to the heights. She managed to dodge the fire ball which dissolved the moment it missed sparing the crowds of being burned alive.
Konan, not missing a moment and considering that the fire ball took its toll on her opponent dived for Shion unfolding a sword and a shield.
Nevertheless Shion had expected this and when Konan was beyond recovering she raised her arms high and around her a circle of white flames erupted creating a cage around them.
"Crap!" thought Konan seeing she had felled in a trap.
"Your fighting style certainly is beautiful dear but like paper just as fragile. Give up and I won't bring this holy fire upon us" said Shion with absolute confidence in her victory.
"You would burn yourself to bring me down?" taunted Konan slightly concerned.
Shion laughed haughtily and moving her hand to one of the fire bars she grasped the flame and held it in it without getting burned.
"This is holy fire from my land, how can that which I serve, ever come to harm me?" asked Shion blowing the fire in her hand at Konan who raised her shield and as expected lit on.
Konan felt the sting of the flames and before it became too much she cut of her arm shield and a new limb unfolded from her body.
Shion laughed again and said "That can't be too healthy for you. Wonder how much you can grow before you are consumed?"
Shion then flicked her hand and the cage began to shrink forcing Konan to drop to the ground where she folded her wings and seeing she was running out of time lunged at Shion while shooting several origami shuriken.
Nevertheless the shuriken burst into flames and the second Konan was about to strike at Shion, the priestess made a pillar of white fire erupt from the ground.
Konan managed to step aside but still several parts of her body caught fire and this time she couldn't stiffen her cry of pain at the all-consuming fire.
"Should I cut you up?" asked Shion with a cruel sneer as Naruto quickly stood up and called "Shion is the victor! Put out the fire!"
Shino flicked her fingers and all the fire around them died instantly, including the flames consuming Konan.
Once the fight was over and Konan was taken by medics, who didn't know what to make of her, Shion turned to the remaining contenders and said "You can see what awaits you. But none of you would know what to do still. So absolute is the power of my faith and my people"
The other contenders glared at her but begrudgingly accepted that indeed she was a fearsome opponent to face.
In the Land of Rice Fields
Amidst charred and still burning ruined edifices and smoking craters a lone pale skinned man walked with a limp as much of his body seemed mangled beyond the help of any healing.
"The world is right to fear the power of the Uzumaki…Legend does not make justice to their real power and how fearsome it can be….ku ku ku" hissed the man looking around to the scattered bodies of many of his former followers.
He didn't pay them any mind for they were little more than the fodder that helped him run his organization. Easily replaced in little time.
He then felt to his knees as his body began to convulse and within moments he doubled over making gagged sounds as his mouth opened beyond the capacity of a human being and from it's depthsa new being was vomited.
The new being was naked but was an excat copy of the now limp and hollow skin on the floor rigged with injury.
"It's quite inconvenient but sure comes in handy…Kabuto" called the man.
In a flash a white haired man with round glasses appeared "Lord Orochimaru?"
"Glad to see the beast didn't take you" said Orochimaru uncaring of his exposed body.
"Plenty of fodder between us…" replied Kabuto with a cruel smile.
"Who do you think it was?" asked Orochimaru knowing the younger man knew his thoughts.
"Kin no doubt, and perhaps someone else" replied Kabuto.
Orochimaru nodded and said "Have to say I am impressed she went this far. Would think over killing her given this outburst since I would like to know how she managed to unleash a beast on me. But time is upon us"
Kabuto smiled and asked "Will you activate her?"
Back at the Land of Whirlpools
Naruto, at his mother's behest, went to check on the newest additions to his harem as it always helped to have the women to birth your future children be on good terms with you.
Temari had been conscious enough of her new role and promising to not only be a good member of her clan simply asked that his services wouldn't go unnoticed and that he could show some sympathy for her birth Land.
Naruto had found her forwardness rather strange given her position but couldn't help but admire her dedication to her land and thus agreed that it would be his honor to help the Land of Wind prosper in the future.
Still Temari understood that promises were one thing and as such she would be vigilant of seeing Naruto go through that path…
Next was to check on Konan who to the surprise of many had rejected the help of any healer present in the palace despite sustaining serious burns at Shion's hands.
"Are you sure you don't need anything?" asked Naruto standing by Konan's bed while the woman simply averted her cold gaze from him and out through the window at the pale moon.
"No my lord…" dryly answered Konan still not looking at him.
"I see…well if there's anything I might be of help in the future please don't hesitate to ask. I don't want you girls mad at me over something I can't control" said Naruto laughing awkwardly and quickly going mute over Konan's lack of a friendly response.
Konan though did smirked at the end and made Naruto wonder.
"I am afraid that even as a concubine I won't be of much use neither as a lover or a mother" said Konan with spite in her voice.
Naruto quirked a brow and asked "Why do you say that?"
"Touch me and see for yourself" said Konan narrowing her eyes and sitting on the bed letting the sheets fall revealing her body which was only covered in a simple black bra.
Naruto blushed and gulping down got closer to Konan. His hands moved first at her chest and after a warning growl he chided himself and placed a hand on her shoulder. And upon touching it his eyes went wide.
"Your skin feels like…paper" said Naruto rubbing his fingers together to make certain he felt right knowing that women should feel a lot better than that if his little "groping" with Ten-Ten was anything to go by.
"Why?" Asked Naruto staring at Konan's eyes which were now slightly sad.
"When seeking power one must be careful where she looks…I am cursed by the very same entity which granted me these…origami skills" said Konan producing a paper rose from her fingers.
"Cursed?" asked Naruto taking a better look at Konan's pale skin and how with that knowledge seemed different from a regular person's pallor.
"I was certainly gifted with great super human skills and very few enemies can withstand me…Or so I thought. But in turn all feeling was taking from me and the only one left was that of pain, as I discovered fighting your brides to be" said Konan with venom in her voice.
Naruto's gaze went to the floor and back to Konan while saying "Why would you seek such power in the first place anyway? It doesn't sound that worth it"
Konan laughed mirthlessly and replied "Why would any of us do such stupid things? For someone we care about. That someone is dying and I wanted the power to help him. In the end I was cheated and he remains on his way to the next world"
"Damn…that's harsh!" suddenly said Naruto making Konan's eye to twitch and produce a paper shuriken.
"Woah! Wait a second there! Maybe I can help!" said Naruto placing his hands in a placating way in front of the blue haired girl.
"What can you do?" asked Konan not putting the shuriken away.
"Well, I am not quite there yet but can use some of the Uzumaki's skills. Maybe I can give you a hand" said Naruto giving her his most reassuring smile.
Konan sighed and placing the shuriken away said "Priests and shamans have tried before and none could help that much. Besides, I can endure this as long as that person gets saved"
Naruto instead clapped his hands together and muttered a silent prayer that covered his hands in a thin luminous sheen.
He then slapped her shoulder really hard making Konan let out a pained shriek.
Konan turned with murder in her eyes but quickly realized what just happened and touching her shoulder realized that she had felt that slap and calming down actually felt the soft caress of the sheets around her, the heat of the candles and the soft breeze intruding from the hallway.
"H-How?" asked a disbelieving Konan at a Naruto who seemed somewhat displeased.
"I tried to undo the curse but it seems like I didn't had enough to completely banish the demon's presence off you. Guess I need further training" said Naruto with squinting eyes.
Not knowing what else to do Konan threw herself in his arms and squeezed him tight gasping at what it felt to touch someone else for the first time in many years. She personally wanted another person in her embrace but Naruto would do for now.
"That's more than enough my Lord…" sniffled Konan unable to quell her tears from coming and enjoying their rolling down her face.
"Glad I could help…" said Naruto not knowing where to put his hands.
Once the drama was over and Konan managed to get some composure back he said "We will try to get rid of the curse later on once I improve on my skills. Also, when you can, bring your friend over and I'll see what we can do for him"
Konan simply nodded with a slight blush and considered that this man was perhaps worthy of some reward…
Naruto on his side walked out of Konan's room feeling quite well with himself though having been embraced by her in such little clothes did awakened some impure thoughts and couldn't help but remember his little encounter with Ten-Ten.
"Am I lucky or what? Is the Lord looking already to fulfill his duties before the tournament ends?" asked Mei coming at Naruto clad in her very revealing concubine outfit making the prince gulp and avert his gaze less his body betrayed him.
Mei laughed at his reaction and giving him not time or space to escape she clung to his arm and made certain to bury it in her generous bosom making him gasp and gulp once more.
"You sure are an honest one my Lord. It will be fun to teach you the ways of men and women" said Mei making the prince blush intensely.
Beginning to walk with him Mei said "But being serious here, if I am to give birth to your children in the coming future. Is there a perk or a bonus? I mean, I know that I gambled and lost but there must be something else, right? I mean you are a prize into yourself but a little extra would be the cherry on top of the cake"
"A-And what would you want?" asked Naruto turning to see his arm well buried in her attributes and looking away once more.
"Well, maybe I couldn't tell you my story but guess this is as good a moment as any other" said Mei with a cunning smile.
"I want to unite the Land of Water, and intended to do so on my own, but sadly didn't had the strength or the time to manage it. Hence I battled here to get that little extra to accomplish it" said Mei.
Naruto frowned at her overt ambition but Mei wouldn't allow him to be on that mood for long.
"Now you may think me a power monger but far from it. The Land of Water has been divided among pirates and less than reputable individuals for too long and that has resulted in lawlessness that becomes the blight of the land and that of it's many neighbors" began to explain Mei.
"Raiders, slavers, smugglers and drug dealers are the lay of the land over there and I wanted to bring it all to a stop. It's a matter of time before someone does something stupid and bring the ire of the Lands on my home and as such bringing order and law to that place is in the world's best interest" finished saying Mei and having Naruto agree that indeed that was a worthy goal.
Noticing his approval Mei smiled and said "As such, I would like to ask you and I make a small compact"
"What is it?" asked Naruto wondering what Mei could give that wasn't his to take already.
"Well, managing such a large harem won't be easy and many of them will likely seek to further their agendas while under your "care" so I would offer my services to help you sort them out and on the way make them melt for you" said Mei running her finger along his jawline.
"Aren't you the same?" asked Naruto in a small moment of clarity amidst the pleasure of being touched by the woman.
Mei laughed and said "At least I am honest and forward"
"But you wouldn't be able to rule the Land of Water" said Naruto.
"True, but perhaps our child could. A simple treaty would make the Land of Water unite and under a single ruler and bring peace and stability. In the end that's all I want" replied Mei letting go of a flustered Naruto.
Naruto didn't know what to say and Mei seeing this finished "Just think about it" and winking at him walked away leaving him alone on the hallway.
Naruto was about to walk away when Hinata suddenly turned on the hallway making him scream a bit in surprise and then calm down.
"Hey Hinata" said Naruto calming down.
Hinata stood before him and sensing his arousal frowned slightly and said "I am sorry master but I couldn't help but over hear you and Mei. His ideas are all fine and on the peace and stability issue are a worthy goal indeed"
Naruto smiled seeing that Hinata though as he did but seeing she wasn't smiling remained silent.
"Still, to provide the Land of Water with a unique ruler of your blood could back fire" said Hinata in a dangerous tone.
"H-How" said Naruto a bit put off by Hinata's somber tone.
"A child of your blood would unite them and with an invincible armada become and empire. Might even become as brazen as to attack the Uzumaki and claim the throne for himself and his mother…" said Hinata making Naruto's eyes go wide with realization.
"You think they might do that?" asked Naruto not wanting to believe that.
Sensing his unease Hinata had a little compassion on Naruto and said "Maybe my Lord. But remember, these girls didn't come here to conquer your heart but a crown. When dealing with them you should remember that and treat them accordingly"
Hinata felt Naruto's sobering at her words and feeling content bade him farewell for the night and left for her own room.
Unknown to them Ten-Ten heard the whole conversation and decided to follow Hinata back to her room but the blind servant entered her room before she could call on her and deciding to better do things without her knowing left.
Unknown to her Hinata knew Ten-ten had been there all along and decided that it was about time she was placed in her rightful place for being nosy.
The Following Day
Deciding at last minute to give fighters and visitors a rest, Kushina declared a day without fights and as such people turned to the streets which met them with many local products and and entertainment of all sort. Few missed the intention to win more money on part of the ruler…
At this chance the concubines had attempted to pamper Naruto all the day long but the young man in turn had taken too much stimuli from them given their scarce clothing and snuck out to have a day on himself around town without women around him. He was having a life surrounded by them anyway…
After enjoying local performers and eating different brands of ramen, which were inferior to Ayame's but tasty nonetheless, decided to call it a day by taking a dip in one of the city's thermal water springs.
Acknowledging him as the prince the owners closed the place to further public and allowed him the privacy of the largest pool all he wanted. He did gave them permission to charge the palace with a blank check…
"Oh man… I needed this" said Naruto leaning back on the stone edge of the pool as the warmth of the water relaxed his muscles.
"Nevertheless…" thought Naruto as images of the several newly added women to his life came unbidden to his mind.
Ayame was warm, friendly and a bit flirty and sure she could cook. Still her insistence on wearing an apron over her revealing outfit didn't help him remain calm.
Sasame was beginning to open up and gain confidence but her clumsiness couple with her outfit made for some embarrassing and revealing moments at the worst times.
Kin and Tayuya at first had been feisty but after he somehow granted them a couple of favors seemed friendlier and often teased him with "sharing"
Samui was an awkward one with her strange attitude to always be cool but he barely registered this as she moved around with such a buxom body.
Mei…well she was your typical cougar and quite proud of being so apparently.
And finally Temari and Konan, his newest additions, seemed friendly and dutiful enough which only added to his interest in them.
And last but not least, Ten-Ten…he never guessed she felt that way about him and he was guilty to admit he enjoyed their small encounter the other day.
"Only Hinata is missing on making a move on me and my gut tells me it won't be long…" sighed Naruto leaning back and opening his eyes that went wide in surprise with the figure standing there instead of the open skies.
"Guess a man like you would have some women issues" said with a smirk Tsunade Senju clad in nothing but a towel that barely kept her figure covered.
Naruto flailed for a moment and quickly hid in the water with only his head poking out to say "W-What the hell? I asked for some privacy"
Tsunade laughed and removing the towel showing Naruto quite one of the most amazing vistas he ever witnessed entered the water and served herself from a tray with a bottle of sake and a cup.
"Oh come on, you won't tell me you never dreamed of sharing a place like this with a bombshell like me?!" asked Tsunade downing the liquor in one swig.
Naruto observed the woman further and noticed that she was visibly drunk and admitted that she was also quite the vision of beauty, albeit the inebriated state discounted her some points.
"Still, I gave instructions to not be bothered…" said Naruto averting his gaze less his body began to respond more honestly.
"Well, it just happens that I saw this place quite empty and decided to take a dip. Now if you don't tell, I won't" said Tsunade closing the distance with Naruto.
Wanting to distract himself Naruto said "Y-You came with Shizune right?"
"Glad to see my pupil is in your thoughts. Yes, I came along and have to say that I am on a streak! To be honest I never expected her to get beyond the first round, and boy was my gut right to bet on that Sakura. I liked her bearing from the beginning! Almost want that she were my disciple as well" said Tsunade clearly pleased with her earnings of the past days, though she burned through them quite quickly.
"And why did you came along with Shizune?" asked Naruto wondering why a woman like this didn't enter the tournament herself if she boasted to be a powerful teacher.
"For the cash! What else? She would become a queen or a concubine and I would get to sponge off her every now and then and have the easy life" commented Tsunade winking at Naruto who saw her with less respect.
Tsunade saw this and getting even closer said "Oh don't give me that face, you are the one winner of all this after all! I mean, you even get to deflower my sweet Shizune!"
"D-Deflower?!" asked Naruto suddenly quite aware of how close the woman was and how naked she was as well.
"Yup, you get to pop her cherry!...But you seem like you haven't yours…That won't do I am afraid" said Tsunade with a mischievous expression.
"W-What do you mean?" asked Naruto as he backed down and Tsunade followed.
"Well, if you are going to be the master of so many women, my sweet Shizune included, you better be the man they expect. So how about a little "Sparring" with me first?" said Tsunade as Naruto struck the edge and she pressed her body against his feeling his springing right beneath her.
Naruto blushed intensely and Tsunade did as well though she remained quite cool and said "You seem quite backed up. Must be a strain to be around so many young women and not be able to lay a hand on them. Want me to help out on that? Can't be too healthy"
Naruto didn't know what to say and inwardly simply accepted that he was indeed quite tense about the situation and has been weeks since he last relieved himself. He had that nagging sensation that someone might walk upon him.
Finally Naruto conceded with a defeated sigh and a grinning Tsunade made him seat on the edge of the pool. But went quite surprised at what she saw…
"Man, you sure had some nice ancestry. Those girls are in for a ride" commented Tsunade blushing harder and quite impressed at his size and making Naruto blush embarrassed.
"Well, guess I better make good on my offer then… and don't worry, I won't be taking your "innocence" that honor I guess goes to the Queen" said Tsunade taking a hold of Naruto's member and beginning to stroke it gently.
After a while of slow stroking Tsunade went down on him with her mouth open and sticking out her tongue gave it several long licks before engulfing it with her mouth and started to suck it in long movements.
Naruto at first had wanted her to not do it but feeling pleasure like never before and from an admittedly gorgeous woman he simply surrendered and allowed the blonde to continue her ministrations on him. He would have plenty of time to berate himself later…if at all.
Tsunade suddenly took him out of his mouth but before he could whine about, she embraced him with her quite large breasts and pressing them together began to move up and down. To her surprise he was so large that his tip managed to poke above her moving chest.
Naruto moaned throwing his head back as Tsunade lowered her head to care for his tip once again with her mouth bringing the young prince ever closer to his release.
Feeling his tension rise, Tsunade squeezed him harder than ever and completely engulfed him with her mouth were instants later Naruto finally reached his climax.
Tsunade though didn't detached herself from him and remained there until he was done gulping down his juices at the end making the prince blush hard for he thought that only happened in erotic literature.
Tsunade finally sighed and winking at Naruto said "The manager would have given us hell if you made the pool a mess so consider it a bonus from me!"
Naruto blushed and became worried someone might have seen or heard something but Tsunade pressing her body against his again said "Don't worry prince, I may not look like it but I am quite the warrior and our little "frolicking" went unnoticed…"
"T-Thanks…I guess…" said Naruto doing his best to remain under control but failing miserably the woman laughed again in his face.
Feeling him underneath she said "Seems the prince needs even more! Fine, I don't mind. But in exchange how about giving Shizune some slight advantage on her next fight? Nothing big, just a tiny rule or something. She can handle herself quite well. And if she loses, just be real nice with her, ok? Who knows? Maybe I can sneak into the palace and give you a two for one!"
Naruto wanting to feel even better despite his guilt nodded and Tsunade was quick again to keep pleasuring him in the warm water…
At the Palace
"What is the meaning of this?!" growled Ten-Ten as the guards, Karing and Honoka presented her with Lady Kushina's guilded blade. Which was not only a finely crafted blade heavily adorned with gems of all kind but was also a mighty weapon on its own.
"Care to explain what is this doing in your room?" asked Honoka while Karin stepped behind Ten-Ten.
"I don't know, someone must have placed it there!" barked Ten-Ten furious at having her integrity questioned.
Karin quickly snared her arms in rope and tightening the knot hissed "Couldn't drop old habits right? You yourself admitted before us that this blade had been your target when Lord Naruto caught you years ago"
"And why would I steal it now after so long? I could have done it years ago!" replied Ten-Ten trying to use logic.
Honoka glared at her and said "Perhaps the prince getting married and surrounded with concubines was your queue to finally be done here and leave with fortune in hand"
Ten-ten eyes went wide and the narrowed in anger and said "That's ridiculous! I care nothing for those girls and besides I lo…"
She never finished her tirade as Karin, fearing the weapon's mistress lashing out simply knocked her out with a blow to the head from her blade's pommel.
"Let's bring her to the dungeon…She will be trialed later by Lady Kushina and Naruto" said Honoka to a nodding Karin.
As they passed dragging Ten-Ten they walked past Hinata who seemed concerned at first and once out of her range smirked contently…
