KG: Alright people. Hows ya'll doin? We're back with this story and I would like to address something right now to a few of you. STOP! I'm not adding Fu or Nanabi to this three-way relationship. I don't know how many women it takes to be counted as a harem, but I'm assuming more than two. So this is already one I think. I'm not adding anyone else to this. I might, highly likely, will do a NarutoxFu story in the future, but for right now you are all to back off and just enjoy the story!
KG: (Ahem) now then, I've really got nothing to talk about. Naruto and the others are gone on their separate vacations and I have to start school the day after tomorrow. Hoping to get back on track with some updates, but meh I won't try to push myself. Did that last year and...no I won't go into that. So I won't waste your time and my time.
KG: I don't own...you know fuck it. You know I don't fuckin own him. If I did then I wouldn't be on this site.

Naruto stared at Pain in shock. Destroy Akatsuki? The very organization that was the bane of every jinchuuriki's existence. Their leader was right in front of him telling him to end it all. It sounded like some damn joke.
"You're kidding right? We've been trying to do that for a while now, but you telling me to do it. I find it hard to believe," Naruto said Pain closed his eyes. He could understand that as Akatsuki had never given out information to anyone. Granted yes, Pain knew about Itachi and his treachery to his organization, but he...allowed it. Anything to stop this organization from happening.
"You're theory is plausible. As I have said, you have no reason to trust me, but it is in both our interests that you do. You see Kyuubi ji...Naruto Uzumaki, that I have seen what this organization has become. It wasn't supposed to be like this. Not at all. Our organization was supposed to bring peace to the world. Calm fighting and show the true way to peace. I've seen that using the bijuu the way we have been is just as wrong. It's a phenomenon if anything else. I do know where they are taking the Ichibi jinchuuriki. Back to our base near a remote area. I do see your hands are covered so I guess that you can't use them, but it seems that you can do without them," Pain said and Naruto was more than ready to show him that he could, but decided to wait.
"If you feel that now then why are you asking me? People claim you're supposed to be some type of god. Why don't you do it yourself?" Naruto asked and Pain stared at him evenly. He closed his eyes and thought it over for a second.
"Itachi is the only one in Akatsuki who knows what I'm trying to do. He has agreed to help me no matter the cost. Konan is my most valued member that I'm willing to trust in her that she will back me up. If Akatsuki fights now then it will create a large rift of instability. No matter how strong I am I can't take on everyone by myself and in this organization is someone more strong, more dangerous, more lethal than I am," Pain said while Naruto widened his eyes. Someone more dangerous than even their own leader? What kind of organization is this?
"And who is that?" Naruto asked while Pain's eyes grew a little colder. Naruto's did the same showing his seriousness.
"Madara Uchiha," Pain said while Naruto's eyes raised. The one man who could control the bijuu since during the time of the Shodaime Kages.
"And what does he want to do?" Naruto asked knowing full well that he was going to regret asking this and for some reason Pain could see the expression on his face, but didn't deter from answering the blonde's curiosity.
"His plan is called Project Tsuki no Me. He wants to collect all of the bijuu and bring them back to the original bijuu, The Juubi, the bijuu of the first jinchuuriki in the world, the Rikudo Sennin. He will become its jinchuuriki and with its power will cast a genjutsu over the moon which will spread across the entire world trapping anyone who looks at him," Pain answered.
"In essence, world domination?" Naruto asked and the silent expression that Pain gave him showed Naruto that he was right on the money.
Naruto leaned again the side of the available mountain structure to take this in. This guy could be lying only to get to Kyuubi and Nibi., not mention Nanabi also. Naruto was more than happy that the bijuu could roam like they wanted, but if either Naruto, Yugito of Fu were captured then it would still mean that their bijuu would be taken.
"And what do you get out of this?" Naruto asked continuing his investigation while Pain folded his arms.
"I get Konan out of this mess that I started. I also apologize to those that I have made suffer due to my actions," Pain answered and Naruto nodded.
"What will you do after Akatsuki is destroyed, presuming that I do help you?" Naruto asked once more and Pain sighed. He couldn't be gone for too long or they would all be suspicious to his actions.
"I'm not sure, but I will lead Ame to the right future that I have for it and I will never assemble anything like Akatsuki again," Pain said more to himself as a resolve than to Naruto himself which was something that the blonde noticed before he leaned up.
"How would we stay in contact?" Naruto asked and one of Pain's paths came forward and slammed Naruto in the chest. The blonde coughed at the sudden hit before he felt a sudden intruding chakra.
"When this chakra is flared, you will know that I want to talk with you and exchange information about things. I can't appear all the time, but I hope you can do your best. If not for us, then for the world that we live in," Nagato stated and agreed before he saw all of the pain paths vanish and in an instant he knew that the Akatsuki leader was gone from the field leaving him alone.
Naruto raised his hand and touched his chest. Something felt weird about him, but he wasn't sure what it was. That simple punch might've clicked something on for him, but he wasn't sure what it was. He felt good. He also felt sort of happy. He didn't get to ask about the Uzumaki thing that Nagato had told him about, but he would ask the next time before he shot off.
With Pain
By the time Naruto went home, Pain was already far off in his direction back to Ame. He had been gone long enough and he didn't need to go worrying Konan needlessly. He knew that while she appeared emotionless when dealing in Akatsuki affairs she still cared enough about him to warrant worry and go out herself if she had to and that was something that Nagato never really needed her to do.
Pain landed on a tree branch before he closed his eyes and lightly snorted.
"You can come out Itachi. You're supposed to be with Kisame aren't you?" Pain asked as behind him, coming out of a tree Itachi appeared while he placed a hand in his hair while the wind blew.
"I didn't think you would actually go through with it. We're playing a dangerous game here. I'm still trying to find a way to meet up with Sasuke. He's assembled a little group to find me. No doubt he will be looking for me soon enough. I will play my role," Itachi said while Pain nodded. He knew what Itachi was talking about and he agreed. If the time came then he would do his role as well if he couldn't lead Ame then he could only hope that Konan did for him.
"Very well. Get going. I will head back to Ame and will continue to proceed with the fake hunt for the Rokubi jinchuuriki along with Konan. I will also be telling her of what we've planning. The more we have with us the better, but I know the others won't understand. Are you ready?" Pain asked and Itachi nodded with a bow of his head before he vanished. Pain did the same and vanished without leaving a trace behind.
With Naruto, next morning
Yugito saw Naruto throwing himself into the full spring of training while he practiced his taijutsu with his clones. She wondered if he was being rebellious to Tsunade's orders not to use his hands to do stupid things like hand to hand combat and here he was doing just that like it was another day for him. Naruto and his clone just continued despite knowing that Yugito was watching them. She sighed knowing that they had a mission to get to. Just the two of them this time.
"Naruto-kun you know that they are going to get Gaara. You don't have to force yourself to train," Yugito said to him before Naruto and his clone stopped. They both turned to her and chuckled surprising her slightly.
"No that's not it Yugito-chan. I'm no angry anymore and I'm just training to be stubborn is all. We have mission right?" Naruto asked taking a towel that was on a boulder to wipe his face off with. Yugito nodded her head happy that Naruto wasn't still thinking about that, but made her wonder what threw him into training the way he did. He seemed so invigorated to try and do it for himself.
"Umm yeah that's right. Also Fu is going through a crash course in Kumo history so she can qualify as a shinobi. Apparently she was a chunin level kunoichi back in Taki, but since no one corrected her on anything then she might still be genin level, but I doubt it," Yugito assumed and Naruto could go with that. He and his blonde girlfriend walked back to their house.
Naruto saw Kyuubi sleeping out in the patio while Nibi was humming in the bath of the house. They seemed quite content with themselves while Naruto packed his things. He only took the essentials which was a very large scroll, his two swords that were strapped to his waist and back.
"Oh, Yugito-chan, so where are we going for this mission?" Naruto asked and Yugito grinned just waiting for Naruto's reaction.
"Well we're going to meet up with Yagura from Kiri and got have a meeting. Obviously we're going to be informants from Raikage-sama. It seems that Jiraiya-sama wants to talk with us about Akatsuki, but Raikage-sama has a meeting with the council so he can't go. Are you ready?" Yugito asked and Naruto nodded his head that he was ready to go.
"Alright we're going. See you later Kyuubi-chan, Nibi-chan," Naruto called out while Kyuubi waved goodbye to him with a small smile on her face. Nibi came out with a towel wrapped around her waist before she slumped over Naruto's shoulder.
"Aww and I wanted to work up a sweat with you Naruto-kun. I really have the worst luck," Nibi said before she licked his cheek sensually. Naruto blushed and stuttered from Nibi advances while Yugito face-palmed and Kyuubi shook her head, but neither of them could disagree that Naruto wasn't a god in the bedroom having experienced it themselves. Oh those were good memories.
"Come on Nibi, we have to let them go now. Be safe Naruto-kun. We're always a summon's call away if you need us," Kyuubi said while Nibi gave a thumbs up. Naruto nodded before he bit his thumb and slammed the ground.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu," Naruto shouted and summoned Kiara to his side. The crimson colored fox came into the world scratching her left ear with her paw. In the human world she had to appear as a fox, but in Makai she could freely roam as a humanoid fox woman.
"Greetings Naruto-sama, how may I assist you?" Kiara asked before bowing to Kyuubi in recognition which Kyuubi did the same. She acknowledged her minion in turn before Kiara turned back to her summoner.
"You said you wanted to see my home at one time right?" Naruto asked and Kiara nodded. She wanted to see Naruto's original hometown. Of course she knew he lived in Kumo, but she wanted to see where it all began and while Naruto was more or less hesitant this seemed to be a good idea for Kiara since it was a mission.
"Oh yes Naruto-sama. When do we leave?" Kiara asked with enthusiasm that made everyone smile. Naruto told her that they were leaving just now and she could come. Kiara's response was to jump onto Naruto's shoulder eagerly and order them to move which Naruto and Yugito did as they left.
Naruto and Yugito hit the streets and walked for the gates of Kumo before they heard a loud huff. Both looked on to see Fu grumbling while holding a book in her hands titled, History of Kumogakure. Naruto and Yugito snickered while Fu mentioned stupid reading, Mabui, and useless shirt. Naruto remembered that experience, but on the opposite of Konoha's history, Naruto actually liked Kumo's history. Maybe minus the whole destroy Uzushiogakure and the kidnap on Hinata which Naruto had known about. Still they had corrected their ways obviously.
"Yo Fu-sama. Don't worry, we'll be more than happy to explain anything to you," someone said waving to her. Fu wasn't used to such a thing. Being referred to as 'Fu-sama'. It was always bitch, whore, demon, demon whore, demon bitch and the occasional...piece of trash comments. It felt good sort of. Now Fu was far from arrogant, she was humble to a large degree. She was happy with the small one person house she had been given and coincidentally she had been moved to live near Bee, Naruto and Yugito. The Namikaze Compound was a little ways east from the Lighting Temple where Bee lived and when Mabui had asked Fu to name her place like they did then Fu merely called hers the 'Jinchuuriki Temple'. Fu said something about renovating it later on.
Fu waved to Naruto and Yugito before moving on her way. She had to go home and get some stuff arranged. However all three jinchuuriki new that none of this was possible, them being liked, if it wasn't for Bee already going through this with the villagers which all three were grateful to the "Lord Jinchuuriki" for doing.
Naruto and Yugito arrived at the gate and left the village after doing the whole leave process with the Kumo gate guards. They quickly left the village behind and raced off.
In Konoha
"Hai Danzo-sama, he is in our possession. You have no need to worry. Actually he came with us willingly saying that he was sick of traveling. We don't know why, but he had a female with him. He said that she was to be treated right. What are your orders?" one of the Root anbu members asked while Danzo smirked. It seemed it was all fair game now. Every nation had one at the moment.
"Very good. Make our guest comfortable and don't worry about it with Jiraiya. I'll make sure that he accepts it. He'll have no choice to actually. Now then tell him that the woman is an acceptable condition so long as he doesn't do anything funny. Understood?" Danzo asked and the Root member nodded.
"I won't lose another one," Danzo said before he sipped some tea with a satisfied smile on his face. Now he just had to deal with that bothersome pervert Hokage and all would be good as Konoha would be back on top which was, right now, sort not the case. Since word had spread that Kumo had gotten another jinchuuriki, the Nanabi from Taki, then they had the most militaristic power of the five. Multiple nations wished to trade with them either out of fear or hope that no one could really go against them. The Nibi, Nanabi, Hachibi and Kyuubi. All powerful powers that were given to Kumo. It just wasn't fair.
"Well I guess I will get up now and see our latest ally," Danzo said to himself before dusting off his robes and walked off to go and meet his new 'friend'.
Apartment in Konoha
A man of middle age and a woman a bit shorter and younger than him were seen resting. The man was a tall, thin young man with pale golden eyes and brown hair that reached to his shoulders. His side parting allowed a large portion of his bangs to cover the left side of his face. He wore a long, light blue kimono adorned with a small emblem of three bubbles on the back, and a pair of black pants underneath, with an orange sash. The kimono hung loose, exposing his chest. In it, he carried a bamboo jug filled with a soap solution, and a pipe.
The woman next to him was a young woman with dark-green eyes, a widow's peak, and blonde wavy hair that went past her shoulders. She wore a light-violet and white top, black shorts, a black skirt, black high boots and light violet wristbands.
Both had been journeying together for quite some time. Maybe they just wanted to settle down and see what it was like, not to be hunted all the time by Kiri.
"Utakata-sensei, are you sure that you can trust this Danzo person?" the female asked while Utakata leaned against the railings. He looked out to Konoha and a smirk appeared on his face. The jinchuuriki of the Rokubi snorted and folded his arms.
"No I don't Hotaru, but we can't keep getting targeted. If that means that we have to stop moving for a while then I will take that chance. Just don't let it bother you. I'm your master for a reason," Utakata said while Hotaru smiled with a nod of her head. She later walked off to go and get some things for them to eat for dinner leaving Utakata in the room before an Anbu came to him.
"Hokage-sama will see you now," he said while Utakata leaned up. He'd have to play his cards right in this or coming to this village wouldn't offer them anything at all.
"Got it buddy. Now just get out before I hate myself for not stopping you," Utakata said and the Anbu merely nodded before he vanished without a trace.
"Now then, let's see just how I'll be able to do this," he said to himself before he left in a very unique bubble shunshin. He had some things to do after all.
With Naruto and Yugito, two days later
Naruto and Yugito continued their slow stroll towards Konoha since nothing was telling them to hurry. They barely had any time to themselves and just walking, holding your lover in your embrace did wonders for you.
Naruto smiled as Yugito seemed stuck to him as she wrapped her body around his right arm. He snickered at the act which got a snort from Yugito in turn.
"What are you laughing at?" she asked with the word curious written all over her face. Naruto shook his head that it was nothing and the two just continued to walk. In a few hours they would be in Hi no Kuni and Naruto would get to see his godfather again after so long. Naruto didn't even know when he had last seen his godfather. It must've been back during that searching for Tsunade mission. Oh those were the days.
"I'm not laughing at anything. It's just that you're so cute when your clingy," Naruto said before Yugito looked up and sent him a mock death glare.
"Shut up. I can't help it if I'm clingy. It's not like your pushing me away anyway," Yugito countered while Naruto snickered.
"Who in their right mind would push this amazing vision of sexiness away? I'd like to met the bastard and send him flying," Naruto said and Yugito gave a faint blush from Naruto's comment about her looks before she smiled.
"Same could be said for you. You fill out that Kumo chunin jacket nicely," she purred while swirling her finger over his chest as they continued to walk through a largely populated forest feeling the wind in their faces.
"I see that you have done well for yourself Uzumaki-san," a sudden voice stated making Naruto and Yugito look around. It didn't take long before both felt a very large and Kage-level chakra signature. Naruto smirked as he remembered this particular chakra. Yugito seemed surprised while Naruto chuckled getting her attention.
"Well Yagura I like to try after all. So how is the Mizukage doing?" Naruto asked while the two jinchuuriki watched the jinchuuriki of the Sanbi fall to the ground. He walked to them casually and Naruto had noticed that Yagura was a little taller than two years ago. His hair was still short and his attire hadn't really changed much. He still kept the staff on his back before Naruto turned around to introduce Yagura and Yugito.
"Yugito-chan, this is Yagura, the former Mizukage of Kiri. He's the jinchuuriki of the Sanbi. Yagura, this is Yugito Nii, jonin of Kumogakure and jinchuuriki of the Nibi," Naruto said introducing the two. Yagura and Yugito shook hands with each other.
"Nice to meet you,"
"Likewise," the two then parted and the group continued their walk towards Konoha. The three jinchuuriki then started to make idle chat about the things that had happened in the world since Naruto and Yugito left. When Yagura had asked them where they had went they only told him that it was a very unique place and an excellent way to train if you wanted. This got Yagura interested, but Naruto and Yugito seemed to know that Sanbi had told him about Makai. It was because Yagura's eyes raised and lowered multiple times before settling to an awkward nod of his head.
Meanwhile, Yagura had told Naruto and Yugito that Kiri had become allies with a few of the minor countries as well as Konoha and Kumo which seemed to tell Naruto and Yugito that Iwa had ended their treaty with Kumo for them being allies with " the Yondaime asses" as well as harboring the Yondaime's son in their village. You'd think that after Naruto had helped them take out Izanagi during the jonin exams that they would be a little kinder to him, but it seemed that a majority didn't see it that way.
However Naruto disregarded that as Yagura continued to speak that he had made a completely formal and a slightly informal apology to each and every single last Kekkai Genkai person for what he had put them through. People could understand when he saw that he was controlled to do it, but also impressed when he said that it was no excuse for his actions to all of their families. Ironically, Yagura and Haku had become friends and mutual partners. Haku had long since forgiven Yagura for what he had done. Naruto was more than happy to hear that.
"So do we have to walk or is there a faster way we can do this?" Yagura asked as he had been walking for the last three days. Naruto snickered and soon a mischievous grin came across his face which did its job of making Yugito frown with a small sense of foreboding. Yagura took notice of Naruto's grin while his fellow bijuu host spoke.
"Oh there is a faster way we can do this. We'll make some good time I'm sure. Besides we're only about half a day away from them. If we do it then we should get there in the next three hours," Naruto stated which got a nod for Yagura and a face-palm from Yugito. Naruto soon jumped into the air and Yagura watched as he flew off in awe. Yugito shook her head before turning to Yagura.
"Try not to be too afraid of it," Yugito said and before Yagura could ask what she meant he and her were forced into the air right next to Naruto who was smiling.
"Flying. How unusual this is," Yagura spoke while Naruto chuckled. He then quickly flew forward with Yugito and Yagura not far behind him.
With Sakura and Sai
The two apprentices to Jiraiya came up to the Hokage Mansion and Sakura knocked on the door. She couldn't believe how much of the mission was a bust. Akatsuki had gotten the Ichibi jinchuuriki, but this elderly woman named Chiyo had given her life to Gaara to allow him to live. It seemed to Sakura that if it wasn't for that puppet guy, Sasori, keeping her time then she could've assisted Sai, but was too late to.
"Come on Sakura. We're to report," Sai said to her and Sakura nodded her head. She had more training to do anyway. It was a shame that she didn't know any medical ninjutsu, but Sai more than made up for that with his newly developed powers. Besides, Sakura had to get back to training anyway. For her new technique.
"Yeah I suppose you're right Sai," Sakura said as she was still waiting for a response, but they didn't get one. Sakura raised an eyebrow in confusion while Sai tried to keep his face even as much as possible before they finally got a response.
"Come in," Jiraiya said from behind the door. Sakura and Sai sighed in relief and breathed not knowing that they were holding it from a little bit of the tension. Sakura turned the knob and came in.
"Excuse me," she said politely as she and Sai walked in. she widened her eyes and Sai's expression slightly changed before they could register everything. The two students of Jiraiya noticed a new man that they had never seen before along with a female that they hadn't seen before.
"Mission was sort of accomplished Hokage-sama, but umm who is this?" Sakura asked pointing to Utakata who was looking at her evenly. Hotaru also stared at the two new people in front of her while Jiraiya coughed clearing his throat.
"Sakura, Sai, say hello to Utakata and his student Hotaru. They have come to Konoha seeking refuge from Kiri. Utakata is a missing nin from Kirigakure and will be signing on as a Konoha shinobi. He is going to be a new team with you along with Hotaru-san," Jiraiya said while Sakura glanced at Utakata. One look and she felt that he easily remembered a lazy person. His eyes had sort of showed that he had no way of knowing the seriousness of the world, but she could definitely be wrong and what was this foreboding chakra that she felt. It was sort of like Naruto's only not as powerful and potent.
Nonetheless, Sakura and Sai didn't want to disrespect their sensei and Konoha by showing rude behavior so they bowed and gave the two newcomers their hellos before Utakata and Hotaru gave their hellos as well while Jiraiya turned to Utakata.
"So you were a jonin before leaving Kiri, then I will grant you a probationary period. It will last for about a month or two to deem you trustworthy and a one session with Ibiki Morino and Inoichi Yamanaka. Do you agree?" Jiraiya asked and Utakata nodded his head that he did while Jiraiya offered Hotaru her headband. She wasn't a registered nin so she was easily able to become one.
"Thank you for your generosity Hokage-sama," they said before leaving the room. It was then that Sakura and Sai continued with Jiraiya's permission.
"Umm we were able to rescue Gaara from Akatsuki, but we were too late and they got bijuu. He's alive due to the actions of a woman known as Lady Chiyo-sama. She lost her life in the cause. Also Sai and I were able to temporally slow down Kankuro-san's poison while the medics worked on him. After we were sure that he was okay we went on to follow Akatsuki's trail. We engaged encountered Itachi, or at least a clone of him, but Sai and I took him down easily while Kakashi and Chiyo-sama went on ahead," Sakura stopped and Sai continued.
"Upon reaching the base of Akatsuki we met up with Team Gai and were able to get Gaara. I took the initiative and, using one of my ink birds, followed the Akatsuki member, Deidara, who flew away with the Kazekage's body while Sakura engaged the enemy that was already in front of us, Sasori of the Red Sand. It was then that we engaged, but the enemy got away. I had discovered that the Kazekage's life was gone, but Chiyo-sama took care of him in sacrificing her life in the process," Sai ended and Jiraiya sighed. That was two that Akatsuki had. Naturally he had heard that during the Ichibi's abduction that Kumo had acquired the Nanabi jinchuuriki which made Jiraiya make it apparent that all the nations had to be on their guards now. Naturally he was sure that Iwa had ignored his call, but he figured he'd at least try to warn them anyway.
"Very good. Both of you. Now then, Sakura, Sai it might be a sudden change, but starting tomorrow Hotaru is going to be with the both of you. I want you to train her in the arts. From what I hear she has a water affinity. Understood?" Jiraiya asked as Sakura and Sai bowed.
"Understood Jiraiya-sama, but did you receive a reply from Kumo or Kiri about what you told them?" Sai asked and Jiraiya smirked and was about to say something before Boar came through the ceiling.
"Hokage-sama, the envoys from Kumo and Kiri have arrived. They are on their way, but ummm-," Boar trailed off while Jiraiya raised an eyebrow.
"What is it?" he asked and Boar wasn't sure how to respond so he just pointed behind them all and everyone looked to see a mop of blonde hair with his arms folded with a smile on his face.
"Yo Ero-sennin. Now you been?" Naruto asked while Yugito and Yagura sighed. Jiraiya widened his eyes before Sakura snorted.
"Him again?" Sakura thought to herself while Sai didn't seem all that surprised. Jiraiya stood to his feet and opened the door while Naruto and his group sailed through. They gently touched the ground while Jiraiya took a good long look at Minato's exact look alike. He smiled and immediately grabbed Naruto a hug.
"I thought I told you not to call me that Brat!" Jiraiya said while Naruto chuckled. Sakura and Sai glanced at each other before Naruto and Jiraiya parted. Jiraiya looked Naruto up and down one more time before he patted Naruto's shoulder.
"You're the spitting image of Minato, Naruto. How is Kumo?" Jiraiya asked while Naruto chuckled.
"Still the best nation in the world which is my opinion," Naruto answered and Jiraiya nodded his head before he sat back down.
"Also Mizukage-sama has sent Yagura-san as her envoy. Very well. I would like you to meet with the council tomorrow so we can discuss things," Jiraiya said while Naruto and Yugito agreed. Yagura did the same before Jiraiya turned to Sakura and Sai.
"Weren't all of you getting together later tonight?" Jiraiya asked while Sakura sighed. They had planned to about a day ago. No doubt some of them wouldn't mind seeing Naruto again. Sakura could only wonder just how that went and the same could be said for Sai since they were planning on showing Hotaru their friends as well. They both nodded and Jiraiya smiled.
"Naruto, why don't you go with them and introduce them to your lady friend," Jiraiya giggling while Yugito lightly shivered. No matter how much she respected Konoha's Hokage, he still made her hair stand on end with his glares. Mostly to the entire female population, but then again you couldn't do much since trying to stop him from doing that would no doubt have every single last anbu on your ass.
"Alright ero-sennin. That might not be so bad I guess. Yugito-chan, do we have anything planned?" Naruto asked and Yugito shook her head that they didn't have anything at the moment although Naruto missed the devious grin on her face. Naruto felt a shiver go down his spine like he was going to get pounced on.
"Fine. We'll meet up at training ground 44. You know it don't you?" Sakura asked with a smile on her face, but to her displeasure and slight amusement Naruto just grinned.
"You're damn right I know. Bring it all on Haruno," Naruto answered and Sakura snorted before she and Sai left the room. Naruto waved goodbye to Yagura and Jiraiya when Jiraiya told them where they would be staying and left.
"So what's going to happen at this meeting?" Yagura asked while Jiraiya brushed a hand through his white hair.
"Honestly I'm hoping that Kumo will contribute something. I'm thinking of doing something to involve Suna, Kumo, Kiri and Konoha. I hope Iwa will agree, but I doubt it," Jiraiya said to Yagura who nodded. He wondered what he was thinking, but didn't say anything to that effect.
With Naruto and Yugito
Naruto unzipped his jacket and Kiara popped out looking at the village of Konoha. Her fox ears twitched left and right while her eyes took in the sight of Naruto's hometown. All three of them had noticed that people seemed more or less happy to see Naruto, but seeing their faces he knew that they were sorry for abusing the Yondaime's son and not for abusing Naruto himself. Yep, he was happy he was kidnapped. Coming back here, Naruto doubted he would be able to stay sane and not kill someone by this time.
"So many tall buildings. This place is nice," Kiara said while Naruto smiled. Yugito, however, could see a hint of anger in Naruto's smile and Kiara could sort of feel it, but no one decided to comment on it which was something that Naruto was grateful for.
Still Naruto could see some faces that showed genuine sorrow for the way people treated him and some seemed to really be telling him that they were sorry and it did warm Naruto's heart slightly that even if the majority were still blinded then a good minority could realize the error of their ways.
It didn't take long for Naruto and Yugito to arrive at their hotel and settle into their rooms. Kiara had run off somewhere to go and take a look around with Naruto telling her to be careful not knowing what some people wouldn't do to her just because she was a fox. Kiara had taken his words to heart and vanished to go and explore some more which left Naruto and Yugito alone in their rooms. As soon as Naruto pushed the key into the keyhole his danger senses came and turned to see Yugito slam into him and push him to the bed. She vigorously attacked him with her lips much to the blonde's surprise before he got over it and, with a burst of wind from his hand, closed the door.
"About what I said before, I lied. We have plans and you're going to do them all before you leave," Yugito ordered and before Naruto could respond, she kissed him again with much more fire than before.
The two quickly hit the bed and dropped whatever they were carrying. Yugito blissfully sighed before she already began the process of taking off Naruto's belt to his pants. Naruto didn't know what had come over Yugito, but he absolutely loved it before he noticed Yugito was already in a white tank top with some of her clothes on the floor. Naruto growled lowly in delight sending pleasant shivers down Yugito's spin while he took off his jacket.
"You're so into it," Naruto said while Yugito merely chuckled. She grabbed Naruto's head and brought his lips back to hers in a searing kiss that nearly melted both their bodies. Their tongues danced in their mouths roughly as their breath became more ragged. Naruto began to lean up and Yugito's response was to slowly back up and straddle Naruto's waist. Her hands rubbed the mess of blonde hair trying to pull the two into a bigger kiss than they were probably able to do.
"Mmmm, you still taste good," Yugito huffed while she felt her lover's strong hands roll down the back of her body. One rested on her thighs and ran up and down it multiple times causing Yugito to purr before the two parted their lips. Yugito grabbed her tank top and took it off exposing her breasts to the Kyuubi jinchuuriki. Naruto watched them jiggle slightly in front of him and he quickly latched his mouth to own while Yugito groaned.
"Ohhhhh yesssss. Right there Naruto-kun," Yugito cooed in his ears while Naruto used his other hand to pinch her left nipple. Yugito threw her head back in bliss of Naruto's actions before her hands trailed down and rested at the tent of his pants. Yugito sighed and began to buck her hips, dry humping Naruto before he swerved their bodies and laid Yugito upon the mattress of their hotel bed.
"You gonna take me? Are you going to fuck me Naruto-kun?" Yugito asked and she only got a smile from Naruto before he quickly and effectively removed her pants which showed Naruto the seamless lingerie that Yugito had worn. He felt a new level of arousal from seeing Yugito in such a way.
"You'd like that wouldn't you Yugi-hime?" Naruto asked while Yugito nodded. He licked his way down her body admiring all the tight shapes that she had just in the right places. No a single blemish could be found on this clear-cut piece of perfection. Naruto started at Yugito's swollen spot and licked his lips. He could feel the heat of her body working over him or he at least wondered if that was her letting her powers run a rampage. Not that he really cared. Naruto pushed a little wind to dispel the heat and cool them both off before he attacked Yugito's nether regions. Yugito was effectively blown away by the act while a large blush came across her face.
"Oooooh ohhhhh mmmmm god Naruto. Oh Fuck yes!" Yugito nearly shouted before she bit her lower lip to be quiet and allow her lover to pleasure her indefinitely. She groaned and twisted her head while she frantically clutched his hair enough for it to hurt, but that didn't stop Naruto at all as he continued to work over Yugito.
"Oh that tongue. Uggghhhhhhh I love it so much Naruto-kun. Oh sweet Kami-sama!" Yugito mewled while Naruto grinned. He took two fingers and pushed them inside and continued to finger his little kitten as he enjoyed her mewls of sheer pleasure rising and dropping on occasion. Her juices threatened to stain the sheets of the bed along with her sweat dripping from her flushed face while Naruto felt her walls clench. Yugito raised her body and shouted.
"I'M CUMMING!" Yugito shouted before she sent all of her juices rushing into Naruto's face. They splashed at him and Naruto breathlessly drank it all. A sweet nectar with the familiar scent of honey. It couldn't get more addicting than that.
"I take it you enjoyed it?" Naruto asked and his response was for Yugito to huff a nod that she really did before she got up and pushed Naruto to the wall before she took off his pants allowing his meat stick to slap her face. Yugito licked her lips and took a hold of Naruto's cock feeling a lot more confident than the first time that they had sex.
"You like that Naruto-kun? I have something in mind to get you back. Do you know what it is?" Yugito asked while Naruto groaned. He shook his head left and right while Yugito smiled.
"Then I'll show you," she said and quickly took Naruto's length into her mouth. She quickly bobbed her head up and down his shaft while stimulating it with her hands all the same. She used her other hand to caress his balls while Naruto threw his head back. He groaned from the feeling of the back of Yugito's throat. He could feel Yugito wrapping her tongue around his dick before she stopped and leaned up. Naruto watched her take her hands and push her breasts to his dick as she rubbed it up and down.
"Oh damn. Not those. Yugito-chan, that's cheating," Naruto said as the breasts of his lover continued to rise and fall. She licked the tip of his dick free of the precum that was coming from it before she felt Naruto sigh as he bucked his hips essentially fucking Yugito's breasts while she smiled.
"Gonna cum? Then you should Naruto-kun," Yugito said and Naruto groaned and grunted before he sent a spray of cum over Yugito's face. He leaned back and sighed while Yugito brushed her hand to get some of the sticky fluids off her, but not minding good taste of it herself.
"Oh damn, that was fucking good," Naruto said huffing before He noticed Yugito get up and place him at her entrance.
"It's about to get even better. Now then, you are going to fuck me senseless. Just like you did to Kyuubi and Nibi. No matter how long it takes, you will make me pass out," Yugito commanded and Naruto grinned before he grabbed her hips. He didn't give Yugito the chance to counter as he slammed his cock inside her twat before vigorously moving his hips inside and out. Yugito's response was a sharp yelp from being filled so suddenly by her lover as Naruto pistoned inside her.
"Mmm you're still so tight Yugito-chan. You really wanted this didn't you?" Naruto asked, but he didn't get a response and Yugito groaned. She continued to push her hips up and down while people in the vicinity could practically hear everything. Parents blushed and covered their childrens ears. Some guys grinned at whoever was getting lucky while the women wondered who was doing such a good job on the woman in that room.
"Ohhhh god yes. Fuck, fuck, fuck! Fuck me Naruto-kun! Don't you dare stop! Oh sweet god of fire!" Yugito shouted and Naruto wondered where that came from, but wrote it off and continued to screw his Yugi-hime's brains out. Her pussy walls clamped over his cock while Naruto groaned. The two were so into it and Naruto switched the position and laid Yugito on all fours. The Nibi jinchuuriki shook her ass at him sweetly and Naruto plunged back inside her while Yugito moaned. She was literally on cloud nine from her boyfriend's cock. Oh she could just go on and on about being screwed by her boyfriend night and day. She remembered when they actually did that. One day just dedicated to fucking each other senseless at least until Nibi and Kyuubi got involved in it as well.
"Oh damn. Yugito, you're squeezing me too tight. You really are the best," Naruto said before Yugito's face fell to the pillow in front of her. She sighed and moaned blissfully.
"Yes, I love you! I love you so much Naruto-kun! Ohhhhhh FUCK! Please cum. Cum inside me! Go until I pass out!" Yugito shouted and Naruto did just that before he and she grunted. They both sent their respective juices into each other and collapsed on the bed. Both huffed slightly before Yugito leaned up. She took two fingers and opened her pussy a little more to Naruto.
"Ready for round two Na-ru-to-kun?" Yugito asked and Naruto grinned inwardly before he attacked his kitten again. He would have her pass out. He prided himself on fulling that obligation.
"The question is Yugito-chan, are you?" Naruto asked as he lunged for her.
Nighttime
Naruto sighed and got up from the bed to take a quick shower and get dressed. He turned to see Yugito sleeping soundly on the bed with a smile on her face.
With a smirk, Naruto put his clothes on and left the room making sure to lock it. He walked down the stairs and noticed that the receptionist gave him a flushed face. No doubt Naruto knew too many people heard them and he hadn't put up a privacy seal to help them, but it amazed him that even if they heard him, no one complained.
Naruto exited the building only to see a couple of men staring at their window hopeful to hear more of a woman in the throws of passion before Naruto snorted. Lonely perverts. Naruto didn't even indulge them and walked off to go to Training ground 44.
Training Ground 44
Sakura, Sai and the rest of the Rookie Nine sat in the training field waiting for Naruto and Hotaru to arrive. Hearing that the blonde was coming back had some neutral stances. Neji's face was sort of even as was Tenten's. Lee was simply overjoyed while Shikamaru yawned lazily. Chouji just ate his chips while Kiba patted Akamaru's head. Hinata and Shino were just...themselves. Ino was ecstatic.
"So he's back in Konoha huh? I can't wait to show that loser how much stronger I've gotten," Kiba said with a smirk while Akamaru barked.
"Yeah sure. That's why you're still a chunin while Neji, Sai and I are jonin," Sakura said with a bigger grin and Kiba rolled his eyes. He didn't care that Sakura was one of the apprentices to Jiraiya after her promotion to jonin from that last mission in Taki.
"Yeah right. Whatever you say Sakura. That still doesn't change the fact that even I could kick your ass in the academy," Kiba said while Sakura smiled.
"And now I can kick your ass from here to Kumo, to Kiri and back," she said and no one was going to fight her on that as it was probably true.
"I can't wait to see how much Naruto has grown," Tenten said sort of giddy-ish while Hinata blushed. She knew she didn't have a chance with Naruto with him having a girlfriend and living in Kumo, but she still had him in her dreams.
"Then I won't stall you anymore," the blonde said and everyone gasped as they turned to see Naruto with one leg over the other. He held a dango stick in his hand and a cup of tea in the other. Later he would be paying Teuchi and Ayame a visit. He had promised to whenever he was in Konoha and he never broke his promises to those important to him.
Neji widened his eyes to the Kumo chunin while Tenten looked in awe. Kiba gasped and so did Chouji. Shikamaru muttered 'troublesome' while Shino remained even. Hinata blushed at how Naruto looked while Sakura and Sai tried to not let the blonde get to them.
"Sup people," Naruto asked jumping from the fence and landing in front of them. All his former classmates of Konoha.
"Well you've gotten taller," Kiba said while Naruto looked on. By now, he was taller than Kiba by about a foot and a half. He just shrugged his shoulders before he turned to Neji who was giving him an even glance. Naruto did the same before turning his head to Shino. He nodded and the Aburame did the same.
"So...what am I here for?" Naruto asked while Sakura snorted.
"Calm down. We're just missing one more guest," she said and just as she said that, Hotaru came running to the others and panted.
"S-Sorry for being late. I had to run it by Utakata-sensei," Hotaru said before she turned to see Naruto. She looked him up and down before she got a faint blush and averted her head. A little too late as Naruto caught it, but he didn't really care. He had his queens in his life.
"Alright so is this everyone?" Naruto asked sort of impatiently while Sakura grumbled.
"Yep, this is everyone. Come on, since I'm a jonin I'm giving us clearance into the Forest of Death," she said sort of Anko-ish if Naruto could remember. Everyone shivered and Ino grumbled.
"Man, why do we have to go back there again? What's so important?" Ino asked and Sakura smiled as she held up a flashlight.
"Would you prefer if I dragged you?" Sakura asked imitating Yamato. Ino shivered and backed up while crumbling from Sakura's gaze. Oh if there was anything Sakura learned then it was to have as much fun making people scared as possible.
"Simple, it seems that in the tower of the forest is a basement that leads right down to a place known as the Arena. A place where chunin, jonin and even Anbu can fight each other to improve themselves. I think it might be fun. Don't you?" Sakura asked while Naruto snorted. He was to walk through Konoha for this? Ugh, she was lucky that he had nothing better to do.
"And what purpose does this "Arena" have?" Naruto asked pretty much asking the general question from everyone around. Sakura snickered before hopping over the fence.
"That's what we're going to go and find out. Right?" she asked before she disappeared into the forest. Naruto sighed and turned around. He was going home. This was a waste of time and though he didn't have better shit to do, he wouldn't waste his time on stuff like this. Besides, he had to be in the fuckin' council
"Ahh screw this. I'm going back to my room," Naruto said before he heard Kiba snicker.
"Bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk," Kiba said flapping his arms like a chicken while Naruto got a tick mark. He balled his fists and everyone noticed the wind rise before it then mysterious dissipated.
"Don't test me dog boy," Naruto said before he vanished in the Hiraishin. Everyone else wasn't sure what to before they noticed Sai scale the wall, up and over he went with Kiba following behind him. Neji turned around and so did Tenten. Shikamaru walked off as did Chouji. Hotaru was already gone as she left just a little bit after Naruto. Soon the others did also and the two jonin and one chunin were left in the forest.
With Naruto
The blonde quickly appeared in front of Ichiraku Ramen and smiled as he lifted up the familiar coverings.
"Yo Old man. How 'bout fixing me up with some ramen?" Naruto asked and Teuchi turned around in shock before a large smile came across his face.
"Naruto, my boy, I've missed you. Ayame, come see who's come to pay us a visit," Teuchi called out and Naruto could hear the clatter of shoes coming down and looked to see Ayame. She turned to their guest and was practically screaming.
"Naruto!" she yelled out before quickly grabbing the blonde into a hug. Naruto winced at the very, very hard feeling kindness sucking away his air supply before he tried taking it back.
"Gotta...breathe!" Naruto said before Ayame blushed and parted from him. She sheepishly chuckled before lightly smiling.
"Oh Naruto, you've really grown. Into such a fuckin' stud!" Ayame said keeping her own thoughts to herself. Naruto smirked with a nod of his head before he ordered the Naruto special which was a twelve bowl special with a mixture of miso, BBQ, original, shrimp, and chicken. Nothing better than that. While Teuchi made the food, Ayame and Naruto continued to make idle chitchat.
"We've really missed you. A lot of people are talking about who the great 'Namikaze-sama' is doing Kumo a great service," she said and Naruto faintly smiled. He would've been doing Konoha a good job if they weren't such dipshits, but Naruto wouldn't talk like that. Somewhere, deep in his heart, he still longed for Konoha. Not nearly enough to make him leave Kumo or Yugito, but just enough to let him know that it was still there.
"I see," Naruto said with a sigh before he was served the first of his bowl. Naruto almost downed that instantly and sighed in bliss. Oh nothing was better that stuffing yourself with Ichiraku ramen. It just...couldn't compare to anything else.
"I also wish you would come back," Ayame said hopefully and Teuchi stopped cooking for a second while Naruto stopped eating. He looked at his empty bowl and chuckled.
"I can't do that Ayame-chan. I'm in Kumo and that's how it's going to stay for me. I miss you too, but Kumo needs me just as much as I need it. I'll always be there to visit you and the others, but I can't come back," Naruto said and Ayame nodded. She knew it wasn't possible, but she wished it were.
Deciding to get off the topic, Teuchi asked Naruto if he had done anything lately and that was just the thing that Naruto needed to get back to being settled. Naruto snorted at that and placed one elbow on the counter.
"Yeah, Sakura and her friends took me to the Forest of Death. Something about there being an underground arena or something like that where people fight or something like that. I'd doubt it," Naruto said and Ayame shook. Teuchi widened his eyes and slowly poured noodles into another bowl. Both were tense before Naruto looked at them.
"Y-Yep that's right Naruto-kun. Something like that is impossible," Ayame said chuckling while Naruto glared. Teuchi was chuckling as well before Naruto closed his eyes. He could feel the extra wind coming from their mouths than normal showing that their hearts were racing suddenly. When you lie, unless your trained to, your body's heart rate will increase and so will your breathing. It will become restless. It took Naruto four months in Makai to learn to read a lie just by using his wind ability.
"Here's another bowl for you Naruto," Teuchi said and Naruto just ate. He didn't say anything for the rest of the night which seemed to unnerve Ayame and Teuchi before Naruto finished, paid for his food, smiled and Hiraishin-ed away from them and appeared in his hotel room.
"Yugito-chan...Yugito-chan, wake up," Naruto said and Yugito moaned before opening her eyes.
"Naruto, what is it?" Yugito asked only to see Naruto's serious face. She turned full shinobi and listened to Naruto speak about everything.
"A place called the Arena?" Yugito asked and Naruto nodded his head while Yugito placed a finger to her chin and started to think things over. She would like to see what this was all about as well.
"Very well. We'll see about it after the meeting with the council," Yugito said and Naruto agreed before they went to sleep in their beds.
Next Morning, Council Room
Danzo slammed the table as did Homura and Koharu. Jiraiya sighed while Yagura, Naruto and Yugito glanced to each other.
"Are you insane Jiraiya? What you are proposing could very well be the destruction of Konoha itself. You can't be serious?!" Danzo shouted in a very uncharacteristic way while Jiraiya rubbed his temples. He could see where his sensei was coming from dealing with these fools.
"I said that it was a plan in progress not that I could enact it without the other village's approval. I have little doubt that Kumo won't do it and maybe even Kiri and Suna will, but Iwa is the one that I'm most concerned with," Jiraiya said while everyone turned to the group, Naruto specifically. Some civilians glared at him, but others didn't do anything.
In a nutshell, Jiraiya's plan to was open the Five Great Nations to a mutual trust agreement. After seeing how even the Kazekage was taken down then he figured that now was the time for them to act and do something about this.
"Are you stupid?" Homura asked before the room was flooded with a KI from Jiraiya himself. People shivered and backed away while Jiraiya stood to his feet.
"I said that it was a plan that had an overall failure percentage. I know the risks, but letting Akatsuki do what they want is starting to bug all of the nations. We don't know what their plans are and we can't afford to take that many risks. By us accepting a jinchuuriki we have opened ourselves to their attacks again," Jiraiya said while Naruto glared, the memory of Pain's message was still ringing in his ears. Destroy Akatsuki and he would do what he could from the inside. Naruto still didn't know if he could blindly trust it all, but it was too good to pass up. However a word hit him.
"Jinchuuriki?" Naruto asked getting almost everyone's attention. Danzo inwardly smirked while Jiraiya nodded. Naruto could feel a bad twitch in his stomach as Danzo nodded.
"That's right boy. Konoha doesn't need you. We now have the jinchuuriki of the Rokubi, Utakata," Danzo said while Naruto glared. He however didn't say anything and a lot of civilian side was erratic about another demon coming into their village, but a KI burst from Jiraiya and they all but shut up after that. Before Koharu and Homura continued to badger Jiraiya about his plans.
"I think this will be a good idea," Yagura said surprising everyone. People then gave the former Mizukage the floor and allowed him to speak.
"In all my times as Mizukage I know how it feels to think that something is out to get you. Kiri has also received word about the Kazekage's capture and while I don't have a strict protocol follow I would still like everyone to know that I'm still very much a jinchuuriki and fear death just like anyone. You call his plan a waste of time, but you don't know the outcome. A world ruled by those like Akatsuki is one that I couldn't stand. Mei-san knows me best and over these two years, she trusts me the best. Jiraiya-sama, Kiri will support your plan," Yagura said before stepping back. Jiraiya smiled with a nod of thanks while Naruto gave a thumbs up.
"As will Kumo, ero-sennin," Naruto said to him and Yugito nodded with this plan. Still in order for it to work then these people would need lots and lots of experience in fighting for it to work, but damn was it a good plan. If only there was a way to guarantee that Iwa would cooperate with them.
"Thank you both. Now then, please deliver this message to Raikage as well as Mizukage. An envoy from Suna is coming by a little later and I'd like them to know as soon as possible," Jiraiya stated before he dismissed his council. Naruto and Yugito walked out of the room and Yagura did the same.
Naruto and Yugito however didn't get far before they were bomb rushed by Sakura as Naruto hit the floor. He grumbled and turned to the pink haired kunoichi.
"What the hell dattebayo?!" Naruto shouted rubbing his head while Yugito helped him to his feet only for Sakura to grab his hand and run out of the building.
"We found it! I told you it was real, but man was it far. I tell you, it's amazing. It's awesome!" Sakura said excitedly and Naruto had an idea of what she was talking about.
"You actually found this 'Arena' place?" Naruto asked and Sakura nodded her head. Oh it would get quite interesting for Naruto now.
With Sasuke
"No Sasuke, don't you dare! You won't be able to kill Itachi without me!" Orochimaru cried out while Sasuke pierced him with his sword. The Uchiha just stared evenly at him while Karin, Suigetsu and Juugo closed their eyes to their former master's fate.
"You're an annoyance. You've outlived your usefulness," Sasuke said to the weakened Orochimaru. He stood before the snake sannin ready to pierce him through the head and end it all before he heard a voice.
"Devour him, make him yours. Absorb his essence. Send him into the dark abyss. Kill! Kill! KILL!" It said while Karin, Suigetsu and Juugo shivered as a dark and malicious force came from Sasuke's body. It soon concentrated on his back and the darkness shifted into wings that began to flap. Sasuke smirked evilly and raised his sword. Orochimaru widened his eyes before he saw a dark flame cover Sasuke's right hand. The Uchiha pinned Orochimaru to the ground and placed his hand over Orochimaru's head. Orochimaru screamed before the darkness enveloped him and compressed his body while Sasuke chanted some words.
"Shinkai Haisui no Jutsu( Abyss Drain Technique)," Sasuke said before everyone watched Orochimaru stop screaming. He laid upon the ground even more pale than he already was. The Uchiha closed his eyes and turned around. He walked past the others before Suigetsu grabbed his shoulder.
"Sasuke are you alright?" Suigetsu asked while Sasuke turned to him. His eyes were slitted, his pupils even more darker than before.
"Better than ever. Now let's get moving you four. It's time for Team Hebi to make it's move," Sasuke said before he walked off. The others followed him before Karin looked back at Orochimaru's body and shivered.
"T-This isn't Sasuke-kun," she said in her thoughts before walking off.
KG: Finished. I would deliver an Omake, but I'm dead tired people. I have school tomorrow and I have to get my books. Naruto and the others are still out so I've really got nothing to say. Other than this. Work hard and do what you can. Give it your all and never give up. Walls are put up to be knocked down!
