Author's Note
Sooo, I've got a bit of bad news. You remember that little cliffhanger last chapter, right? Of course you did. If not, then the story hasn't been updating properly and you should make sure to read up on any chapters you miss. Unless you don't want to, that's cool too. But, I'm just in a small writer's block. I do want to make each chapter about 3k words of content, but what I could come up with barely hit 1k. So, it's going to be put on hold until I can either expand on it or smoothly transition to another part. Maybe both.
So, to make things up, kind of, I'm already breaking my goal of alternating between Yoichi's time in Kumo and Iwa, and making this an entire chapter based on that. This one will be focused on Iwa, while I may either make another chapter for Kumo or continue as usual with them as little side-stories. This chapter doesn't go over everything, though, so Iwa side-stories will still go on. Just need to plan out my plot a bit more, sorry if anyone is disappointed. It's the internet, at least one person will be.
Kurogano Yokaze: You know, you've always got great ideas on how things will go. They might not be entirely accurate, but they certain give ideas, and also make sense. I will say that Satsuki will be coming back up in a few chapters, but as for the day that would have been Satsuki's, well, I honestly haven't planned out what to do by then. I've got Hinata and Naruko's day set out, but as things are, the second day for Tayuya and Kin can go several ways, I just need to think of what the most possible outcome of certain events.
Warning! This story will contain language, sexual situations, and possibly fetishes that some people may feel uncomfortable with. If you are easily offended or disturbed, don't complain, you've been warned.

Chapter 29: Wanna Get Your Rocks Off?
13 Months, 6 Days since Yoichi Left Konoha
Yoichi wasn't sure how long he was unconscious for. All he knew was when he woke up, he was incredibly sore. Shifting a bit, he let out a groan of pain, unable to sit up at all, opening his eyes to look around. Seemed her had been brought to one of their medical facilities.
"How are you feeling?" He heard a girl's voice ask, turning his head to the side to see Kurotsuchi sitting nearby. She didn't have the same annoyed look on her face she usually had when looking at him, looking more disappointed than anything.
"Bit sore. What about you?" She raised an eyebrow. Why ask her that? He was the one who had taken the brunt of the damage to save her. She sighed.
"I'm fine." She said, giving him a response at least. He nodded slightly.
"That's good to hear." He said, going silent a moment. "So, what happened?" He knew what happened to put him in this situation, it was more just asking how his condition was.
"Well, after you passed out, I took you here as fast as I could. Your foot was broken in two places, and you had some debris embedded into your back, but thankfully nothing too severe. You'll probably just need a bit of help getting around, but training is out of the question for at least the next week." Yoichi let out a small sigh of both relief and disappointment. "By the way, when they were checking up on you, they found several seals written on your skin but also hidden. Would you know about those?"
"Yeah, my clan's big on seals. I've applied some to myself in case of an emergency or to help with training. Just hope no one copied them down." He said with a small chuckle as if it was some kind of joke. The girl shook her head.
"No, we wanted to make sure you knew about them first. Didn't know if you applied them yourself or someone had put them on without you knowing." It was a bit of precaution, but most of them were fairly recognizable, albeit strange to see on a person. He had chakra storage and suppression seals, seals for storing items, seals that could act as weights… not something usually put on a person, but wasn't harmful or impossible to do.
"That's alright. Might need to have someone look over my back, though. Might have broken one of my more complex ones if the skin was damaged enough." He said with a sigh. He heard a door on the other side of the room open.
"Well, Kurotsuchi can help you with that." The voice of Onoki said, having caught the tail-end of their conversation. Yoichi looked to see as the older man floated in. As much as it should have surprised Yoichi, he had been given a brief rundown of Iwa and their leader. While there wasn't too much, the fact that Onoki had the ability to fly despite his short stature was a bit of common knowledge. Something about gravity? It definitely seemed to help him get around faster, especially when he didn't need to conserve his chakra.
"Lord Tsuchikage. I'm honored as well as surprised to see you here." Yoichi said, wanting to sit up to greet him properly, but couldn't find the strength to do so.
"You're a guest of my village, and put into this position due to the carelessness of one of my shinobi." He said, giving a look to his granddaughter who looked down before he continued. "I have already talked to her, and have decided that for the rest of your stay, she is to be your assistant, even after you recover. She had no right to test you in such a way that put you both in danger without any sort of permission or an onlooker to step in. Not only that, but from what she's told me, you saved her life. This is to be both a punishment and way of repaying you." Kurotsuchi sat silently, having to accept this. Yoichi nodded slowly.
"I see. While I would say this would be unneeded… I've never have been in this kind of situation before. Any help would be greatly appreciated." Onoki nodded.
"I've already sent word to your group yesterday and just received word from them. They have already arrived in Takigakure and will be bringing back their jinchuriki to be kept under watch. Seems the village cares too little for them. They'll be here in a few days, not being able to travel as fast." Yoichi nodded, understanding. Mei had made sure that the group consisted of some of the most trustworthy and fast shinobi she could spare. When he was with them, they made good progress, but he knew that they were only able to go half as fast as they could actually travel, since speed wasn't his strong-suit.
"I see. I thank you for letting me know. Though, as I am, I don't think I'll be able to travel back toward Kiri, even with their help. Besides, I came here to train. This might just extend my own stay for a while. Hopefully it won't take too long to recover." Onoki nodded once more.
"Take as much time as you need. When you're able to walk around with help, Kurotsuchi will take you back to the mansion to look after you. If there's anything you need, just ask her." He said, Yoichi giving him a nod in response before the Tsuchikage made his leave to get back to his office. For a few minute, Yoichi and Kurotsuchi sat in silence.
"I'm sorry…" He heard her say, turning his head to her. "I let my emotions get the best of me." She bowed her head, clasping her hands and put them on the side of his bed. "I was so angry that someone from a village who had caused so much grief to my own at one time was getting treated by my own grandfather like you were. I treated you with such disdain, but you saved me when you had every right to let me die. I don't want your forgiveness and understand if you could never forgive me, but I want you to know, I am truly sorry." Yoichi could hear the sincerity in her words, making him smile gently. He placed on hand on top of hers.
"I understand. I don't blame you. You were just wanting to make sure your village was safe. I could have been plotting to destroy it for all you knew." He told her before closing his eyes. She looked back up at him, surprised at his words, but he had quickly fallen asleep to rest, his warm hand gently holding hers.
13 Months, 9 Days since Yoichi Left Konoha
As the days passed, Yoichi healed at a fairly decent rate, his foot going to take the longest time to get better, but already able to move around with the help of crutches. Although, since this was the first time he had broken his leg, he had a bit of trouble, Kurotsuchi helping him out when she could. By the time he was deemed well enough to head back to the Tsuchikage's mansion, she had grown to like him a lot more, the two talking and sharing stories about friends and events, as well as their views on being shinobi.
She was extremely surprised to hear him talk about how even though he trained, he never wanted to fight. Going into detail, she found it a strange concept that to settle things, even as a shinobi, the best way to deal with issues was to simply talk them out.
"It's something my clan has followed for a long time. That's why evne though we are known to be strong, you won't hear many stories of us in battle. Growing up, we're all introduced to the 'Three Armies' example." He had explained to her. This example was a hypothetical situation on how to best end a war between three armies of equal strength, if they each could choose to either attack, defend, or talk.
If they all chose to attack, then they would all be killed from being equal in strength. If they all chose to defend, then they would be at a complete standstill. If they all chose to talk, though, they could settle their own differences and come to some agreement to benefit them all. She asked him what would happen if they chose different strategies, and he went into even further detail.
"Now, that's another thing to take in account. It's a bit like rock, paper, scissors there. Attacking beats talking, talking beats defending, and defending beats attacking. If one army chose to attack and the others chose to defend, then the attacking army loses first. If two armies attack and one army defends, then the two who attack will lose. If two armies attack and one decides to talk, the one who want to talk loses. But, that is the only situation where talking causes you to lose.
"Say each army chooses to attack, defend, and talk. It wouldn't be a tie like in rock, paper, scissors, but the attacking army would instead lose. That's because the ones who defended and ones who talked would be able to come to an agreement to take out the attacking force. If two talk and one attacks, then the same result will occur. If one or two of the armies defend with the others deciding to talk, then the three of them could find a way to sort things out. Of course, this can change depending on who's fighting and the situation, but the people of my clan use this example because we believe that others would want as many of their own people to survive, even at the cost of having to get along with another group who shares different beliefs."
It wasn't something she entirely could accept, yet at the same time it seemed like a good way to handle things. His clan had gotten this far with their beliefs, right? That also led to her asking him why they trained to fight if they believe that talking was the best way to end a war. He simply gave her a small smile, telling her that as much as they hated to fight, there still would come a time where they would have no choice but to fight to protect those they cared for.
Their talks greatly changed her thought on him, Kurotsuchi beginning to enjoy having him around. Even though she had to help him out with a few tasks at first, such as eating or heading to the restroom, she was too upset as she got to know more about him. On the day she took him back to the Tsuchikage Mansion, she even showed him a few spots around the village that she personally enjoyed, from small shops to places that sold food, thinking of him less as an outsider and more as a friend.
When they arrived at the mansion in the evening, she helped him head back to his room. They had been told that the jinchuriki had arrived later that morning and was getting settled in the mansion as well, being one of the safest spots for them, but they didn't see anyone out of the ordinary. That is, until they arrived at his room.
Opening the door, they froze at the sight of a tan girl with short, mint-colored hair in his bed, her face buried in one pillow, her hands sensually groping her body through her clothes. From what Yoichi could see, she wore a sleeveless, white midriff shirt with fishnet armor, long white armlets, fishnet shorts, and a short white apron skirt over it. At the sound of the door opening, the girl seemed to not notice for a few moment before stopping, looking over to them.
"Oh, hi!" She said cheerfully, jumping up and standing in front of them. "I'm Fu! You must be the others I was told would be coming back at some time!" She had a smile on her face, not at all seeming to be ashamed for what she was caught doing, staring at them with innocent orange eyes. Mint hair, tan skin, orange eyes… The best way Yoichi could describe her looks in one word was 'exotic'.
"Um, yeah. I'm Kurotsuchi, the granddaughter of the Third Tsuchikage. I'm looking after Yoichi here, who was injured recently and is a guest of ours from Konoha." The other girl explained. Fu nodded excitedly before tilting her head, sniffing the air, before moving closer to Yoichi, a dreamy look forming on her face.
"Mmm~ So that's where that smell came from~!" She said, pressing her body up against him, placing her face in the crook of his neck. Already being in this situation before, he looked to Kurotsuchi who had the most confused look on her face.
"Seems Fu's the jinchuriki. I don't know why, but seems I have some sort of scent that female jinchuriki like." He really didn't understand it himself. Naruko didn't have the same reaction the first time he met her… though her seal was gone. But, as for Yugito? He just hoped that Fu wouldn't repeat that. In answer to him, Fu half-nodded, half-nuzzled against him.
"He just smells so sweet~ It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy~" She practically cooed out before seeming to snap out of her little daze. "Oh! Sorry again. Did you need something from me?" She asked, moving back to look at them once again like nothing was wrong, albeit a bit flushed from what he could tell.
"Oh, well, we didn't know you were here. This was where I was told I'd be staying." He told her, Fu blinking before putting a finger against the corner of her mouth.
"Huh. Well, I was told to pick any room I wanted to stay in, and I really liked this one because of the smell… How about we share!" She said, the other two looking at her.
"Share? I don't think my grandfather would approve. Besides, from what we caught you doing, it might not be good for him for you to be around." Kurotsuchi replied, crossing her arms. Fu pouted at that, the look in her eyes saying she didn't understand what was wrong.
"But why? He's supposed to be in this room, I like this room, and there's enough run for us both!" She whined. She looked to be about Yoichi's age, but she acted a lot younger. Kurotsuchi let out a frustrated sigh, about to retort before Yoichi spoke before she could.
"It's fine, I won't mind." He said, giving the Iwa kunoichi a look to say 'she won't let up easy'. Thinking for a moment, she relented.
"Alright, fine by me. But I'll be letting my grandfather know, and if he doesn't approve, you'll have to find another room." Fu didn't seem to hear past the first four words, her pout turning into an excited grin, hugging the two others.
"Yay! Thank you! I think we're going to be good friends!" She said happily.
13 Months, 15 Days since Yoichi Left Konoha
Needless to say, the next few days after that were fairly interesting. When Kurotsuchi told Onoki about Fu wanting to be in the same room as Yoichi, the older man was hesitant, but after Yoichi discussing with him, privately, about experiences with another female jinchuriki in Kumo, the older man had to relent to the request.
To Yoichi's relief, while he was worried of a repeat of Yugito, Fu was incredibly… calmer in comparison. She was as innocent as she looked, knowing about sex as much as an eight year old probably would. Every morning he'd wake up to her lying on top of him, a smile on her face as she nuzzled into his chest. She seemed to enjoy sleeping in the nude, but she wasn't self-conscious about her body, and didn't do anything someone would deem sexual.
To Kurotsuchi's annoyance, all day Fu would stick beside Yoichi, his scent making her feel warm and safe in this unfamiliar village. She was practically like a puppy, something that Yoichi found quite adorable, really. He could have sworn he saw the other girl look at Fu with jealousy every now and then, but as the three of them talked, getting to know Fu and Fu getting to know them, she couldn't help but warm up to her.
She wasn't well liked back in Taki, their leader Shibuki taking care of her mainly. It was hard to make friends from the way she was treated, but she still was so cheerful, not minding that since she could always find more people to be friends with. In fact, by this point she called the two of them the best friends she had so far, almost not wanting to go back home because she was enjoying herself.
The three of them would walk around the village, Kurotsuchi showing the other two around, Yoichi having both the girls help him get around. They bought a few things for Fu who didn't have everything she needed, ate at a few places, and at one point were introduced to the jinchuriki of the four and five tails who had returned at the Tsuchikage's behest from the warning Yoichi had given him. Roshi, who had mastered control of the four tails, and Han, who didn't have full control but was getting close, both offered to help Fu overcome her own beast.
But, from the way they talked about their tailed beasts, Yoichi could tell that they didn't have a full understanding between them, telling Han and Roshi about how the jinchuriki in Kumo not only could have the full potential of their tail beasts help them, but were on a level where human and beast would consider each other partners. Not only that, but Yoichi could adjust their seals if given some time, so that they could be able to communicate with those sealed inside them better, as he learned to do from the time with Yugito and Killer B.
The older men were a bit skeptical about what he told them, but as they were being hunted by an organization that was much more dangerous than they thought, they would consider it, leaving their offer to Fu as well. Overall, things had started a bit rough, but were falling into a comfortable place for people. Even several. Iwa shinobi were beginning to warm up to having Yoichi around, despite being from Konoha.
On one particular morning, he woke up as usual, but without the usual feeling of Fu lying comfortably on top of him. Instead, was a different sensation, albeit one he had felt before. Letting out a groan, he got the attention of Fu who had slipped further under the covers, slid his boxers down, and was running her tongue over his morning wood. Grabbing the blanket, he tossed it aside, Fu looking up at him with an innocent smile and half-lidded eyes.
"Morning, Yoichi~!" She said happily, before running her tongue up and down his shaft. While he wasn't uncomfortable with the situation, it was a bit sudden considering her behavior.
"Fu, what are you doing?" He asked, though not making any move to stop her. She shrugged, continuing on.
"I woke up and felt something poking against me. So, when I looked for what was poking me, I found out it was this! But, your smell is so strong here, that I had to taste it, and now…" She slid the tip into her mouth, suckling on it gently, making Yoichi groan out again before she pulled off with a soft 'plop'. "I just can't stop. It just tastes so good~" She said, nuzzling against, rubbing some of his pre-cum on her cheek.
He was a bit torn, aroused from how much she seemed to be enjoying herself, but still seeing her so innocent from not even knowing what she was really doing. Noticing the way he was looking at her, she tilted her head, looking up at him.
"Yoichi? Are you okay? Should I stop?" She asked in a way that was just too adorable, not wanting him to be uncomfortable but also not wanting to stop. With a sigh, he shook his head, reaching down to run his fingers through her hair reassuringly.
"Don't worry Fu, I'm fine. Just a bit… surprised, that's all." She blinked at him before crawling up his body, resting against his chest once again, straddling him with her slit innocently pressed against his length, not wearing anything in bed like usual.
"What's so surprising about it?" She asked him. She knew nothing about sex or shame, really. When Kurotsuchi had come in to wake them up the first morning, she was utterly confused when the older girl got onto her about being naked while on top of Yoichi like she was. She just did what she felt was comfortable or natural. She had tried to have sex explained to her, but she stopped paying attention part way through, finding it boring.
"Well, because it's something that you should only do with someone you really like. It's like what Kurotsuchi tried to explain to you before, like sex. Anything that is something only two people who like each other do involving their private parts is a sexual act, and what you were doing was one of them." Fu nodded slowly, kind of understanding what he was talking about.
"But… I like you a lot. Does that mean you don't like me?" She asked, Yoichi sighing and shakng his head, running his hand through her hair again.
"No, I like you too. You've been a really good friend. It's just something you do with someone you've known for a while and you want to be more than just friends." Fu looked down at that.
"Oh… Then, what is it to be more than friends?" She asked, a curious look in her eyes.
"Well, it means you're in love with each other. You would be lovers, then if you wanted to go further, you'd get married." Fu was quiet for a moment.
"How do you know if you're in love?" She asked, this time quieter. Yoichi had to take a moment, since that was one of the hardest questions anyone could be asked.
"That's not easy to know. It changes for different people. There's several people I love, but I couldn't tell you the exact reason why. If I could give my best explanation, love is when you can't see yourself without being with them, wanting to stay with them for the rest of your life and make sure they're happy." Fu thought longer on that. "While I'm sure you might feel that way around me because of my scent, I don't think its actual love. I think it has to do with the seven-tails affecting you, and I've got some sort of pheromone." Fu nodded at that, thinking a bit longer before sitting up.
"Alright, I think I get it now." She says, smiling at him once again, just as he heard her stomach growl. "Now, come on! Let's go eat!" She hopped out of bed to quickly get dressed, Yoichi chuckling lightly. From all the jinchuriki he had gotten to know, they all had a big appetite when they were hungry. Even Temari said that Gaara would eat enough for three people as long as people weren't watching him.
"Alright, alright." He said, pulling his boxers back up, their little encounter then almost forgotten already.
Author's Note
There's the end! Three end stories put together to make one chapter. Sorry again, but there's just a good bit to go through, and I'm not ure how long it would take exactly. I mean, currently he's at 6 girls officially in his harem, and I've already set up the possibilities of doubling it, and it's about to hit chapter 30. It's like, five chapters for each girl to join, almost. Either this will be a long-ass story when I'm done, or this might never end.
Anyways, hope you all enjoyed! Please make sure to follow this story to keep up to date on when I post as I do not have a regular schedule. Also leave a review/comment telling me what you did or didn't like and what you'd like to see more or less of. Any bit helps!
Until next time!
