Chapter 36 : I love the Finals
The day of the exams was finally here, and even though it was a bright sunny day. Naruto couldn't help but feel a dark cloud loom over Konoha. He had discussed with the Sandaime in private and in length about how odd this whole exam had been.
Starting with the fact that Suna bought jinchurriki in the exam without first informing Konoha, then there was the first time participation of the chunin exams of the Sound village and the fact that Orochimaru had returned to mark Sasuke with his curse seal. It was just a tiny bit to coincidental for Naruto's taste.
Than a couple of nights ago Naruto had lucked out when he was able to save Hayate from being caught by the Suna team's jonin sensei. Hayate who was spying on the Suna jonin and some Konoha Shinobi didn't realize he was being spied on by one of Naruto's clones. And just as Hayate was about to get caught Naruto's clone was able to substitute itself with Hayate then quickly henged into a bird to get away.
Hayate was eternally grateful that he was saved but they had more pressing matters at hand, like reporting all of this to the Hokage, but without any real proof Sarutobi couldn't really do anything except keep an eye out, give warning this his forces and increase security around the city especially during the finals. Then Sarutobi also had to deal with the dam Civilian council and their endless whining after what happened to their precious Uchiha, constantly sending petitions to either imprison or execute Naruto all of which Sarutobi threw into the fireplace they definitely had more use to him as kindle…
And as if it couldn't get any worse apparently the Tsuchikage was actually coming to Konoha to watch the final member of his Iwa team compete. Sarutobi didn't expect this and honestly he didn't know what had changed to cause the Tsuchikage to swallow his pride, but rumor has it that Naruto has been seen hanging around alot with his granddaughter. Considering Naruto's lineage and looks Sarutobi would have never expected her to fall for him.
But if Sarutobi knew anything when it came to Naruto it was to expect the unexpected when it came to him. Taking another long drag of his pipe Sarutobi wondered how much longer he would have to be coped up in this dammed office.
Far away in the Senju Compound
Naruto awoke to the feeling of two bodies pressed against him, by now he was used to either waking up with either both Hinata and Kurotsuchi or just Hinata alone. Slowly he crept out of their arms as to not wake them and left to another room so he could shower, there was no need to wake them this early. He was only up because he wanted to get to the stadium ahead of time, had Hinata and Kurotsuchi been up both of them would have probably caused him to be late with their love of randomly making out.
Honesty at first Naruto seemed rather skeptical of Kurotsuchi but over the past month he had grown to enjoy her presence and his time spent with her. After his shower he quickly got dressed and went downstairs to the dining room to pick up a light snack a clone was arranging for him. Picking up his forehead protector off the table he glanced at the symbol of the leaf on it for a moment then tied it to his head.
Grabbing his Katana and slinging it over one shoulder he began his trek toward the stadium, while on his way he began to formulate and go over the last few parts of his plan of attack against Neji.
Few hours later
Konoha Stadium
The stadium was getting packed with guests and spectators from all around the Elemental Nations, Daimyos and other high ranking politicians sat in the lavish upper decks to watch the chunin hopefuls.
The fire Daimyo sat in attendance mulling about the Sandaime's latest student and so called champion, Uzumaki-Senju, Naruto. The Daimyo had heard mixed opinions about the boy; from the Sandaime and the Shinobi council the boy was humble, loyal, and strong. From his connections in the civilian council apparently the boy was a demon, worthless and constantly disrespected authority. Today the Daimyo would get a sample of what the boy really was like and was he justified of his claim of the Senju line.
Up in the Hokage's booth Sarutobi sat with the Kazekage and Tsuchikage, the Kazekage was rather quiet and hadn't said much too either kages since his arrival. On the other hand Sarutobi was trying his best to make small talk with Onoki and while the man seemed slightly displeased he still responded to Sarutobi who was rather delighted that the tension between their two cities was slowly disappearing.
However Onoki in fact just looked displeased it was actually quite refreshing to talk to somebody his age and that sort of understood his philosophies and principles… sadly people like them were soon going to be gone and brats like Kurotsuchi were going to be the ones leading the world… OH THE HORRORS!
Over with the Kazekage who was actually Orochimaru in disguise, he was silently fuming under his mask not only did Sasuke not make it to the finals where Orochimaru could gauge the boys power. But he had heard that one of his eyes was destroyed by the Senju boy… it made Orochimaru think that maybe he had marked the wrong boy. Regardless if necessary Orochimaru was sure he could find a way to draw Naruto to him if things didn't turn out properly with Sasuke.
Another issue that had randomly sprung up now was the fact that the Tsuchikage was here, fighting Sarutobi was a huge risk but the Tsuchikage as well, Orochimaru wasn't suicidal he had to find a way to separate them. But judging at how friendly these two old bastards were getting this would be easier said than done.
He would have to think fast as things were going to get complicated real soon, as Sarutobi stood up and began addressing the crowd.
A short while later Sarutobi sat back down into his seat as the first two contestants were called to the field
Hyuga, Neji of Konoha vs. Uzumaki-Senju Naruto of Konoha
Both contestants took the stage looking as they had something to prove, Neji wanting to prove that Naruto and Hinata were fated to be losers all their lives and Naruto looking to defend Hinata's honor.
Speaking of Hinata she was currently sitting among the konoha genins that didn't pass the preliminaries and their sensei's, and yet Kurotsuchi was also sitting next to Hinata. This surprised many as the last time they were seen together they were looking to rip each other's throats out now they looked like best of friends…
But that was a story for another day as Hayate called for the match to start and immediately both genins went blood, lightning fast punches and kicks were sent from both sides. But neither male's gave an inch as attacks from both sides were dodged parried and blocked with great intensity.
It looked like it was going to keep going like this until out of the blue Neji violently parried one of Naruto's strikes leapt backwards and settled into a juken stance. And said, "It's over you are now within the range of my divination EIGHT TRIGRAMS SIXTY-FOUR PALMS!"
Many of the Hyuga's in attendance were shocked at this new development! Especially Hiashi even though his face remained passive he did turn to his brother slightly and narrow his eyes just a bit. Hizashi on the other hand had picked this time to discover that his sleeve was extremely interesting. Hiashi would have glared longer but he had to turn his attention back to the match.
Naruto responded to Neji with a smirk and settled into the same stance, "As are you"
Neji hesitated for a moment in shock by charged forward immediately which was copied by Naruto as they simultaneously clashed juken strikes against one another.
2 palms/ 2 palms!
4 palms/ 4 palms!
8 palms/ 8 palms!
16 palms/ 16 palms!
32 palms/ 32 palms!
64 palms/ 64 palms!
Each attack canceling each other until just as they were about to clash one more time Naruto infused his strike with 10 times the amount of chakra of a standard palm, the moment the two attacks met Neji was launched flying backwards rolling across the ground.
Lifting his face off the dirt Neji winced as he slowly lifted his body onto his knees and hands, "How do you know that attack! It's supposed to be only passed through the main branch!"
Naruto walked up to Neji and said, "And I could ask the same of you Neji…. Surely now that you have openly used it you will definitely face punishment from the main branch."
Neji grit his teeth then in one quick movement he launched his body forward rolling right into Naruto's guard in a standing position, "Fine if I'm going to face punishment anyway then I might as well kill you so the main house will suffer! EIGHT TRIGRAMS PALM ROTATION!"
Just as Neji tried to spin Naruto in a blink of an eye reached out and grabbed his arm effectively stopping Neji from spinning. Neji was stunned at how easily he was countered, Naruto shook his head slightly and said, "Some prodigy you are Neji… you are foolish to believe any of your techniques will work on me. I have trained with the greatest of the Hyuga clan all my life, do you believe you can come in and fight me with standard juken and win…. You are a fool like the Uchiha and here I thought you were different Neji. Alas I will deal with you like I dealt with him."
Hearing this Neji's eyes widened in shock, NARUTO WAS GOING TO DESTROY HIS BYAKUGAN! Neji tried to squirm but because he was so distracted by Naruto's words he didn't realize it was already too late as Neji looked down to find his entire body to be bound up in branches. Neji looked back up in horror as Naruto reached toward his head with his hands; Neji slammed his eyes tightly shut even though he knew that would do little to prevent Naruto from destroying his eyes.
But what Naruto did next was completely unexpected as he removed Neji's headband from his forehead revealing the cage bird seal. "So this is the marking that you constantly whine about… it pales in comparison to mine and its burden."
Neji hearing this yelled, "YOU KNOW NOTHING OF SUFFERING THAT HAS BEEN DEALT TO ME FROM THE MAIN BRANCH! THIS HAS LONG DECIDED BY FATE!"
Naruto turned his back to Neji and began walking away from him while saying, "The main branch isn't at fault for your suffering…" Naruto had reached an adequate distance from Neji then turned around with a few wooden senbon in his hands.
"Now since you are always rambling about how fate is set path, how about I give you three choices right now Neji… I can play pin the tail with your cage bird seal, or I can send you to the same hospital ward as the Uchiha maybe in worse shape than him. So?"
Neji didn't like either of the choices given seeing as he had no clue what would happen if Naruto threw that senbon at his seal, maybe it would do nothing or maybe it would either trigger it to violently activate or worst case scenario it would go through his skull effectively killing him, "WAIT… you said there was a 3rd option what is it!"
"Oh it's nothing really… basically it's I let you go and we talk about this in a civilized manner on the condition that you drop the whole thing about fate and destiny…" Naruto said off handedly as he closed one of his eyes while testing his aim.
"I'LL TAKE THAT ONE!" Neji yelled out hoping to still Naruto's hand from firing off that senbon.
With a genuinely surprised looked Naruto replied, "Oh, darn and I really wanted to see what would happen if I shot a chakra infused senbon into your seal… well more so Anko-sensei wants to know."
Up in the stands with Hinata, Anko wrapped her arms around Hinata's neck from behind and asked, "So princess what would happen?
Hinata tapped her chin for a moment in thought and replied, "I'm not sure but I would guess the seal would probably activate its self-defense mechanism when it sense's the foreign chakra and probably kill Neji slowly and painfully….
"Slowly and painfully you say." Anko said with a devious grin as her eyes lit up mischievously. Next to Hinata Kurotsuchi flinched slightly at Anko's tone, she didn't know what it was about that women but it made her slightly fearful of her.
Back with the match Naruto had released Neji from his wooden prison, and now oddly a short wooden table was now on the floor with a whole tea set on top of it. Many of the people watching the match quickly became annoyed at the fact that it turned from an intense fight to a tea party.
Naruto poured Neji a cup of hot tea and pushed it over to him, Neji didn't drink or take it choosing to just stare at it, "What do you want to talk about…" Neji asked with no emotion.
Naruto taking a sip of his own cup of tea replied, "Just wanted to know why you are always ranting on about fate and destiny…"
"I have my reasons…" Neji answered with a slight mocking tone too it, "I see no reason to tell you…"
Naruto just sighed and reached inside one of his sleeves to tap a seal pulling a book out of it. It looked like an ordinary yellow book as Naruto opened it up and skimmed through a few pages, "Here I thought you promised we would talk civilly but I guess not Neji…
"…"
"Fret not I like to talk so I'll talk enough for the both of us…" Naruto said as he flipped another page of his book and began reciting out loud.
"Ever since I was a little boy I had long aspired to be a teacher, and on my 25 th birthday I finally achieved that dream. It was as if Kami himself had heard my prayers because I was able to land my dream job teaching in one of the most prestigious colleges in the entire nation. But honesty I didn't apply to this job for the high academic achievement the school averaged but more so because of the rumors that this school had the most attractive female students and I had seen firsthand how short their school uniform skirts were. As a young male in his early twenties my hormones were sky rocketing at the very thought of teaching these beautiful maidens."
Neji instantly yelled out as Naruto swore he saw a hint of red in his cheeks, "WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU READING!"
"Huh?" Naruto responded sounding genuinely confused, "I'm sorry seeing as you have yet to work up the courage to talk to me about your secrets yet, I felt the need to pass the time."
"BY READING SMUT!" Neji yelled back restraining the urge to chuck the cup of hot tea at Naruto's face.
Naruto flipped to another page and said, "Well it's all I bought along, and I find that I understand concepts better when I hear them out loud, since you don't want me to read it do you want to do it in my place."
Neji let out a loud humph and turned his head to the side completely ignoring Naruto.
Meanwhile many of the audience was in shock at what Naruto had just read, many of the females were slightly irked by such a perverse act but held off the urge to maim the boy merely because he was so hot and he read with such passion that it made a slight tingling in their loins. The males on the other hand leaned forward so they could hear the story better. Though many were reprimanded instantly by their wives once they noticed what their husbands were doing.
With the fire Damiyo he bought his large fan up to his face and narrowed his eyes, but little did the people around him know that he was actually blushing up a storm as he was an avid fan of Jiraiya's work. The Sandaime who was sitting up at the Hokage's booth was rather jealous but didn't show it as he was irritated that he was sitting so high up and his old age had ruined much of his hearing so he could not hear everything in as livid detail as he wanted to.
Back down with Naruto and Neji whose eyes were twitching slightly Naruto flipped through another page and continued reading.
The first couple of weeks teaching were almost a little too much for my body to handle; I would constantly have to stay behind my desk in fear that everybody would see my erection straining through my pants. The girls did not make it easy as I swore many of them were flashing their panties at me purposely, it was getting to the point where I could easily write up a list of every single type of under and their color each girl had. But I was hardly complaining, what man wouldn't give up everything to be in my position.
However I soon became dissatisfied with merely just sparing a quick glance, but yet I was too fearful to make a move on any of them as I had little to no experience in such a field. Growing up I had never had a girlfriend or known the pleasures of another's flesh against my body, while it might have been tempting to dive straight into this group of young beautiful damsels. I wished for experience first…
Somebody who might show me the ropes to the art of love making, and soon I found my mentor in another professor that taught at the college. She had quite a couple of years on me, but still that did little to take away from her beauty and amazing character. I put my art of reading people through psychology in ways that it wasn't meant to be used in, and quickly I deduced that while she was married and had children she was rather dissatisfied with her love life.
So ever so slowly and precisely I wooed her and gradually inserted what I wished to do with her into her head, and almost in an frighteningly quick turn of events we were inside my bed room with me pinned to a wall her hands gently caressing my body…"
A couple of loud coughs stopped Naruto from reading as he swore he heard groans of disappointment from the audience. Neji was the source of the coughs as he was clearly blushing and was fiddling with the hem of his jacket. Naruto raised an eye brow then said, "My apologizes Neji maybe this chapter is not to your liking."
Naruto then flipped more pages and said with a smile after he got to a desired page, "Ah this one you should be able to relate to!"
Neji was shocked at statement, just what did Naruto mean when he said he would be able to relate to this!
Buying protection for my activities was still a rather embarrassing experience for me, so I choose to head to one of the more quiet parts of the city to buy them. Luckily a little general store tucked away in a sub urban neighborhood carried the brand I had grown fond of; the store was run by a family hailing from the orient if the state of the dress and bun like hair style that the young girl who worked at the store were to go by anything. Through my visits I had learned that her father was the owner and she just worked here part time so she could earn some money to spend for herself.
Neji visibly stiffened at the description of the girl but also leaned in slightly so he could hear Naruto better.
And while it was rather embarrassing at first, she laughed and explained that I wasn't the first male of my age to come to this store seeking the same objects and privacy. But today I felt as something different was going to happen as I entered the store, as usual she sat behind the counter and immediately gave me a smile when she saw me, I walked up to the counter and asked her for the usual with a slight tint of red dusting my cheeks. She turned to the wall behind her where these items usually hung, than after a moment she turned back around with a frown on her face. She told me in an apologetic tone that she seemed to have run out of them at the storefront and asked if I would come to the storage room in the back to help her find some to restock the shelves. I instantly agreed to her proposition and followed her to the backrooms.
Entering the dark dusty room she shifted a couple of boxes around trying to find the product I wanted, in her haste she had tripped over a small box she didn't see and fell backwards. I was clearly not the most athletic in my class so my attempts to save her from falling were slow and in my mad dash at an attempt to catch the falling girl, I tripped myself and we landed together in quite a compromising position. As I laid in-between her legs our faces just inches away from each other I could clearly see the desire and longing in her eyes. The need to be set free and then tamed was there, though what had made me truly lose it was when she lifted her hand up and in her hand was a box of the condoms I had come for originally.
However while the brand was the same it seemed to be one of those new gimmicks the company had come out with, "Extra thin" was what it said. She then softly mumbled to me do you wish to try this. I replied to her in the only way a sane man would and slowly sent my hand to explore her nether regions, brushing her soft cotton…
Naruto suddenly stopped reading the book and set it down much to the displeasure of everybody in the stadium including Neji… who had become so entranced by Naruto's reading he actually felt like he was the male lead and the female was… well you can guess.
But what Neji felt at the moment was annoyance seeing as Naruto had stopped at the best part for a drink of tea!
Naruto just sat there blowing lightly on his tea to cool it then take a slow sip, "My apologizes… reading all that has left me quite parched, allow me to quench my thirst… than I shall continue."
Neji's hand shook in anticipation as he watched Naruto drink his tea in a painfully slow manner. Neji looked toward Naruto then toward the book that was lying face down on the table then back up to Naruto as Neji's patience ran out he lunged toward the book successfully grabbing it and flipping it back over so he could finish the part….
Only to discover there was no story in this book, heck there were hardly any words. Flipping through the pages it was just what looked like multiple paw prints of a fox in different colors and crude childish drawings including a very poor rendition of what Neji believed to be Hinata…
Neji would have continue to flip through the book had a painful burning sensation not suddenly over take his palm, dropping the book onto the table Neji clutched his hand as he saw steam rising from the palm of his hand and suddenly burnt into his skin was the word PERVERT.
Neji tried desperately to rub it off but to his horror it didn't come off it pretty much had felt like it was part of his skin, he looked up at Naruto who had his head cocked to the side and demanded, "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!" as Neji continued to rub the mark on his hand praying it would come off.
Naruto reached over and picked the book back up, "This should teach you not to touch other people's property especially not the art book I bought for Hanabi-chan…" Naruto said as he examined the cover and back of the book a bit, "These books usually come with privacy seals preset into them; I just took the liberty of modifying this one slightly. Though I rather say it will be quite embarrassing to use gentle fist ever again especially with that written across your palm, because nothing short of cutting your hand off will remove that stain from your body…"
"What!" Neji said as he stared down at his palm in horror.
"Well actually I can remove it if I felt like it… though this time you must swear upon your eyes that we will actually talk this through is that fine with you Neji?" Naruto asked as Neji quickly responded with a nod.
"Great now I'm sure you don't want your dirty laundry dragged out in front of the entire populace of Konoha any longer, so you should know what your next course of action should be." Naruto said as he sealed the book back into his sleeve.
Neji looked down into his lap for a moment than nodded and to Hayate, "Procter I forfeit this match…"
Hayate raised an eyebrow at that but called the match in Naruto's favor anyway, there was scattered clapping throughout the arena as the match had taken a rather anti-climactic turn of events.
Naruto stood up and sealed away his tea set and reintegrated the table with the ground, giving Neji and Hayate a short bow he headed back to the contestants booth
The moment Naruto entered back into the booth, Ino was glaring at him with her hands on her hips, wrapping his arms around her waist Naruto pulled her into his body. "Something wrong my flower-hime." He whispered into his ear
She pouted fisting her hands into Naruto's vest and whispering back, "Yeah I don't like it when you read that stuff!"
Naruto smiled and rubbed his mouth against her ear while taking a few nibbles, "That's not what you said when I read it too you that day in your room."
Ino smirked and sucked her teeth slightly in pleasure as she responded lowly, "It's not that… I just get jealous when you entice other girls with your…. Stories. They are only meant for me during our alone time!"
A voice then boomed "Yamanaka Ino of Konoha vs. Aburame Shino of Konoha"
Naruto chuckled and just said, "Fine, fine isn't it your match now though? Shouldn't you be heading down?"
Ino smacked Naruto's chest lightly and replied, "Yeah whatever wish me luck."
Naruto gave her a light tap on the ass to get her going, causing to Ino let out a light squeak and quickly descending the stairs as her opponent Shino was already standing in the middle of the field.
Back with Naruto he stood leaning against the rails with Shikamaru standing next to him, "You know Naruto of all the girls our age you could have picked to join your little harem you choose the most troublesome one… I will never understand you."
"Yet you Nara's have the tendency to marry these troublesome women… so if you say Ino is the most troublesome I can't imagine how your wife will be like…" Naruto retorted.
"Yeah but you have to deal with what is it 5 of them now? I'll take my chances with just one… you know sometimes I contemplate just quitting the Shinobi life style, finding an average job, marrying an average wife and living in an average house I would be satisfied with that." Shikamaru responded with a grin and a faraway look as he starred up into the heavens.
Naruto smirked as he watched Ino and Shino bow to each other in respect, "You are too intelligent for the Hokage to let you resign your post so easily, honestly whose going to replace your dad in a few years."
Shikamaru ran his hand through his hair and said, "I'm sure you could do it in my place, at least you got the strength to back up your smarts."
Naruto just gave a light snort but no reply as the match below had started, after a good minute of sizing each other up Ino was the one to make the first move, she reached into her poach and pulled out a whole handful of flower petals throwing them towards Shino . " Flower Ninja Art: Flower Petal Shuriken!" Ino said as the flower petals all suddenly spun at Shino at high speeds.
Shikamaru raised an eyebrow at it, "Well that's new."
Naruto smirked and said, "Something one of my connections in vegetable country was able to pick up for me I felt like this was something Ino could take advantage of so I gave her some scrolls to begin learning the art of using flowers in battle. Though she told me she made some adjustments to battle against Shino."
Back with the fight, Shino had sent his bugs out to destroy the petals before they could reach him but to his shock just when the bugs were about to surround the petal they all stopped and flew in different directions away from it.
It was so unexpected that Shino couldn't dodge all the petals an a few cut into his jacket and skin. Looking for a quick counter attack before she threw another barrage of those petal shuriken at him Shino directed the swarm of insects to charge and capture Ino to drain her of her chakra.
As they were flew toward Ino let out a evil smirked, "Shino… I'm sorry I have to do this but you realize my family runs a flower shop so we have plenty of this one HAND!" Ino said as she reached into her poach and pulled out two cans of industrial grade insecticide!
And while the bugs of the Aburame clan had some immunity to insecticide this stuff was on a whole other level, Shino instantly frowned as he saw Ino press down on the cap releasing an intense spray of yellow death on his insects.
He quickly pulled his insects back but for many of his comrades it was already too late, just as Shino began to formulate a new plan of attack he suddenly felt something wrong within his internal colony. His queen was relaying him the message that large portions of the colony inside of him was dying, Shino froze up as he tried to think, "What's going on? Is there a chance some of the insecticide attached onto my retreating swarm and it bought it back inside my body… No my bugs instinctually know to not only stay away from the colony if they were infected, but the soldiers wouldn't let those bugs in anyway… so why are they dying…..!"
Suddenly it hit Shino like a ton of bricks, he reached to his side where a flower petal had cut through the front layer of his jacket reaching inside the opening he pulled out the petal which was still lodged into his skin. Grimacing slightly he bought the petal closer to his nose and took a light sniff… as he thought every one of those petals was also covered in the poison.
While in small doses it was not really harmful to a human, but it was more than enough to cripple entire colonies of insects. "Dam." Shino mumbled weighing his options, Shino decided to raise his hand up and say, "Protector… I forfeit it is only logical that I surrender this match before my entire colony is destroyed."
Hayate announced Ino as the winner as the crowd cheered on the platinum blonde. Once more Ino and Shino bowed to each other and both left the arena, Shino leaving to somewhere private where he could replenish his colony in peace and Ino skipped back to the competitor's booth. Where she quickly took her place beside Naruto, who was idly chatting with Shikamaru.
Naruto leaned over and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and said quietly, "That was a really good strategy Ino-chan I'm proud of you."
Ino with an assertive smile replied, "Took you sometime to realize that Hinata-chan isn't the only strong one in the harem is she!"
Naruto shook his head with a light smile and responded, "Now, now Ino-chan play nice… I never said she was the only one that was strong. All of you are strong in your own ways, and I'm proud of all of you."
Ino just giggled and leaned into Naruto's torso, he responded by wrapping his hand around her shoulders to bring her closer into him.
Nara Shikamaru of Konoha vs. Temari of Suna
It was at this moment Shikamaru let out a sigh and said, "See like I said before troublesome… just like this blonde from Suna I have to face… maybe I should forfeit it's far too troublesome to actually fight…"
Naruto also let out a sigh as he bought a arm around Shikamaru's shoulder which caused the lazy genin to turn his head toward Naruto who had a impassive face on them slowly morphed into a devilish grin. It slightly scared Shikamaru when Naruto leaned in slightly and increased the pressure of his arm on his shoulder and said in a dark voice, "Think of this as payback… FOR CALLING MY GIRLFRIENDS TROUBLESOME!" in one hard fling he threw Shikamaru over the railing toward the center of the stadium.
Shikamaru bounced across the ground and grumbled slightly at Naruto's actions, the only good thing about Naruto throwing him down here was the fact that he landed on his back and now had a perfect view of the sky and clouds above. Maybe he could just play dead and stay here forever.
Well apparently Shikamaru's luck had run out as Hayate assumed… yes he assumed that Shikamaru was ready and instantly started the match which led to Temari jumping up and looking to smash her giant fan right into Shikamaru's head. Who choose to roll out the way at the last moment because watching clouds would be quite difficult with his face all bandaged up.
Up in the competitor's booth, Ino smirked at watching the lazy Nara dodge attack after attack from the Suna Kunoichi. "That was kind of mean of you Naruto-kun." Ino said as she softly rubbed Naruto's chest with a slight grin.
Naruto smirked into Ino's hair as he answered, "My apologies if I hurt your team mate so badly that he won't be able to partake in any missions." They both winced as they saw Shikamaru barely dodge a few blades of winds that came from Temari's fan.
Naruto then whispered sensually into Ino's ear, "Maybe I can make it up to you by telling you a story…"
Ino squirmed slightly and stared out at Naruto with a slight glare, "But they always leave me hot and bothered and you don't do anything about it…" then in a whispered tone, "I always have to finish myself off after you leave…"
Naruto chuckled slight with an amused look on his face, "Yet you always ask me for more, so what do you want me to do about it? Should I stop?"
Ino frowned and said with a pout, "No, no, no! I was just thinking maybe… never mind… can you tell me a new one." She finished with a blush
Naruto brushed a piece of hair out of her face and tucked it behind her ear and whispered, "Have I told you the one about the young delivery girl?" Naruto said in a seductive tone, as he traced a finger along Ino's chin. I believe she delivered…. Flowers!"
Ino let out a giggle and a slight blush at the implication that the story was based on her, but regardless of who the story was about Ino always imagined herself as the girl that Naruto put into the story and well it was obvious who the male lead was.
Now if only Shikamaru would stop crying out like a little girl while trying to dodge Temari's attacks,
As I worked to pay off my tuition, I found that choosing to rent a room was a smarter economic plan than renting an apartment by myself. My colleagues told me the address of a home of an elderly lady whom was actually looking to rent a room out for a lower price, as long as I helped around with the chores that her old age had prevented her from doing. It was safe to say I took this deal instantly.
And soon I discovered that the old lady had a knack and love for gardening, so every month she would call the flower shop to have them deliver some new plants, seeds and tools to the house. So on the first month when the flower shop came to deliver the supplies. I was in total awe at the delivery girl who was the most stunning platinum blonde I had ever seen in my life.
Ino let out a gasp and snuggled deeper into Naruto, he was sure the gasp wasn't from Shikamaru nearly getting his head whacked off baseball style.
With Hinata, Kurotsuchi, Anko and Hana, Kurotsuchi said while leering at Ino, "She's mocking us isn't she…"
Hana leaned over to Anko and asked, "She gets easily jealous doesn't she…"
Anko whispered back as she watched Kurotsuchi grip the hand rail in front of her in anger, "Yeah I totally don't understand why Hinata accepted her without consulting me first… but if it were me I would have killed her painfully, then got your dog's to devour her remains. Who does she think she is stealing time with Naruto from me!"
Hana tensed up as her muscles began to fire, just in case Anko dived on Kurotsuchi looking to kill her, Hinata on the other hand tried to calm Kurotsuchi down, "Stop complaining you hog Naruto-kun enough don't you?"
Kurotsuchi let out an hmph but continued to glare at Ino, who was pretty much lost in a world that only included her and Naruto.
And it was just my luck that on the third month my land lord had to leave town for a few days to visit her family, she asked me to help her collect the supplies which I happily obliged too. So by the time noon came around the delivery girl had come around on her bicycle, it was a hot blistering summer day so she was covered in a light layer of sweat and all she had on was a pair of tight dark blue gym short shorts and a white loose camisole top with a baby blue floral design on it. Her hair was done in a ponytail to keep it out of her sweaty face and I thought to myself that had to go.
As I helped her move the supplies into the back yard my mind went into hyper drive with all the things I had wanted to do to her right there on the spot, and it went even further when she brushed by my and I caught a whiff of her scent which included a slightly sweet sweaty smell, flowers and dirt. Saying I was aroused was an understatement.
It was at the moment where she bent over in front of me and I got a perfect view of the outline of her private flower petals through her underwear and shorts did I feel all my self-control leave my body. She turned her head back and noticed I was staring, I feared she would accuse me of being a pervert and get me in trouble but she shocked me when she bent her back and spread her legs more as to highlight her beautifully round rump some more.
My breath was stuck in my throat as the only thing I wanted to do at the moment was too reach out and grab her, luckily we had just finished moving the all the goods because I did not believe I could continue any longer especially with the raging boner that was now straining painfully against the front of my pants.
Ino's blush rose to a new level hearing this, Naruto really had a way to turn her on and right now she was thoroughly aroused. Ino wanted nothing more than to reach her hands into her pants and relieve herself, the fact that they were in public just made the need and thrill rise even more. But the fact of the matter is that the competitor's booth was situated so basically the entire stadium could see them, and being caught masturbating by the entirety of Konoha was not something Ino was going to risk… but neither was she going to stop Naruto from seducing her.
She stood back up and slowly and seductively walked over to me, purposely throwing her hips around to accentuate them. When she reached me she put one of her long slender fingers into her mouth for a second then with the same hand she reached down and grabbed my erection through my pants. I could do nothing other than give a strained groan of approval to her actions, and then she asked me in the naughtiest voice I had ever heard, was there a shower that she could get cleaned up with. I directed her to the shower in my room, the moment she entered my room she already began to strip herself of her sweat drenched clothes and flung them at me I caught them and was tempted for a moment to press them against my face to inhale her aroma.
But she easily distracted me when she leaned against the frame of the doorway to the bathroom and gave me a smile that somehow made my legs move over to her on their own accord. She bit her lip slightly then in one quick unexpected movement she grabbed my erection again and dragged me into the bath…..
Just as it was getting to the good part for Ino a loud chorus of boo's erupted all over the stadium, diverting her attention down to the match. Ino saw that even though Shikamaru's shadow was connected to Temari's Shikamaru was the one who surrendered the match, "What happened?" Ino asked with a confused look.
Naruto responded in a rather amused tone, "You would have known if you paid attention to the fight my love…"
Ino looked up with a slightly taken back look, "It was your fault!"
Naruto chuckled and leaned in and whispered softly into Ino's ear, "Well I'm not the one that's dripping wet down their right now… I can smell you my flower-hime maybe you should go…"
Ino blushed 10 different shades of red and pushed Naruto aside playfully and embarrassingly left the competitors booth to clean herself up in the bathroom. Thankfully neither Kiba or Shino were still here or they would have definitely picked up her scent by now.
The next match was Sai of Konoha vs. Akatsuchi of Iwa though Sai forfeit the match the moment the match was called which led to another chorus of boos to emanate from the crowd seeing another Konoha Shinobi lose.
Sai had been told prior to this match about the invasion by Danzo, so Danzo told him to surrender the match this conserve his chakra for the upcoming invasion seeing how Akatsuchi was quite a powerful opponent and the safety of Konoha to Danzo came before everything else including the possibility of one of his root being promoted to a chunin.
Hayate had gave the Hokage a slight shrug and the called, Uzumaki-Senju, Naruto of Konoha vs. Gaara of Suna
Whispers scattered throughout the crowd as on the program many of the audience had received a program that stated Gaara was supposed to fight some boy for Oto first not Naruto, had this exam not been hosted in Konoha many would have complained about the possible rigging of the tournament against Konoha.
But regardless Naruto leapt off the balcony and landed just as Gaara appeared as well in a swirl of sand.
Inside Gaara's head Shukaku was raging on and on about crushing Naruto and the Kyubi like the pest they were. In a way you could say that Shukaku and Gaara were actually cooperating for once thus allowing Gaara to use the full potential of the one tail!
Hayate could feel the bloodlust dripping off of Gaara and too an extension Naruto and immediately signaled the start of the match and jumped back away from the two boys who went right after each other's throats, sand and wood clashed violently against each other grinding and smashing the other to bits and pieces.
Gaara then yelled out as he raised a giant blanket of sand over Naruto's head, "COME BROTHER LET ME SHOW YOU THE MONSTER I HAVE BECOME!"
"CRUSH HIM CRUSH HIM CRUSH HIM!" Shukaku yelled inside Gaara's head.
Dropping the sand onto Naruto Gaara immediately followed up by slamming his hands into the sand. " SAND WATERFALL FUNERAL!" ripples ripped through the sand crushing everything underneath it. Even those sitting at the very top of the stadium keep feel the intense pressure of the attack.
Gaara let out a deranged smirk as he pulled the sand away hoping to reveal Naruto's obliterated corpse. But Gaara didn't get his wish as where Naruto was standing was now a wooden dome that barely looked damaged. Only a few cracks and splinters showed that an attack was ever used against the dome.
Gaara frowned at this and let out a wave of empowered sand shuriken to try and penetrate through Naruto's dome. But they sand just broke apart harmlessly the moment it touched the hardened shield
"FUCKING BRAT THAT BASTARD IS BEHIND YOU!" Shukaku yelled to Gaara, who turned his head backwards just to receive a lighting fast kick in the face sending him flying across the arena. Gasps sounded throughout the audience at seeing Gaara actually getting hit, none more surprised than those from Suna especially Temari, "He's the second person to attack fast enough to beat Gaara's defense and they are both just mere genin, how is this possible!" who was starting to have second thoughts on this invasion seeing that Konoha ninja's weren't as weak as they thought.
Naruto stalked toward the fallen Gaara like a beast stalking his prey, then stopped just in front of Gaara than laughed started chuckling which morphed into laughter then full blown maniacal cackling. Jiraiya who was watching this thought to himself, "Well that's a new side of Naruto."
Back with Naruto, "You think yourself a monster brother!" More maniacal laughing, "Compared to me you are an insignificant speck, from what I heard the Yondaime Kazekage tamed you like the weakling you are!"
Gaara yelled back, "You are one to talk, you are in a weak vessel just like I am. You were also tamed by your Yondaime so who are you to speak!"
Naruto bent over and grabbed Gaara by his shirt surprisingly the sand didn't attack Naruto, Laughing frenziedly right in Gaara's face, "There's a difference between you and me! Unlike you my vessel isn't weak and you know what… at least I was able to kill their precious Yondaime!" accidently saying that part a bit too loud
"Uhmm… ouch?" Naruto said inside his mindscape to Kurama who was having too much fun
With the audience boo's chorused throughout the arena hearing Naruto say that, "You see brother they hate me just like the ones in your own village, and as much as I would like to go on a rampage and shower this village in their own blood. But the boy has found somebody to love and those that love him back, so for now… I will still my hand." Naruto said quieter so only Gaara could hear him.
"LIES." Gaara gritted out, "Nothing but lies, somebody once told me they loved me but in the end they also ended up trying to kill me.
People here are no different!"
"You are a fool to believe nobody loves you Gaara, in all of Suna if there was one person that loves you then for that one person it is worth it…" Naruto said as he peered into Gaara's maddened eyes.
"Tell me than! If you're so smart who loves me! Gaara demanded with wide eyes.
Naruto sadly looked down and replied lowly "You're sister… I can see she loves and cares for you but is reserved about it because she's scared of you Gaara, scared that you will turn the monster inside of you on her if she dares to show you any more of her compassion.
Gaara's face morphed into a one of shock as he tilted his head up to look up at the competitors booth where he saw Temari stare down and for the first time in his life he noticed that she had concern in her eyes… concern for him…
Gaara began shaking as a tear rolled down his eye, "She cares… she really does… WAIT STOP !
HES LYING TO YOU IDOIT! THAT BITCH OF A SISTER WILL KILL YOU IN YOUR SLEEP IF SHE GETS THE CHANCE! DON'T BELIEVE HER.
Naruto saw Gaara expression change and suddenly his eyes glazed over as if he was internally having a heated discussion with somebody, "Dam… I was so close too. Looks like I will have to deal with Shukaku after all." Naruto mumbled under his breath. "
"Mokuton: Tree Binding Burial"
Multiple roots rose from the ground binding up Gaara so only his head was visible, raising his hand Naruto placed it onto the seal on Gaara's forehead and closed his eyes instantly he was transported inside Gaara's mindscape which happened to be a large raging desert with a cage a short while away.
Naruto walked over to the cage and soon discovered it was nowhere near big enough to hold any bijuu not even the one tail, in actuality it held Gaara…
Naruto placed his hands on the rusty bars of the cage and whispered, "Gaara…" the red haired boy who was sitting on the cold steel floor and burying his face into his knees looked up with a few tears present in his eyes.
"It's you… how did you get here?" Gaara questioned as he stood up and walked over to the bars where Naruto stood. It was at this moment Naruto noticed that if Gaara wanted he could easily slip past the bars as they were just big enough for him to walk through normally.
And it was at this moment Naruto realized that the bars weren't here to keep Gaara in… it was to keep Shukaku out! Suddenly a giant shadow emcompassed Naruto and the rest of the cage as Naruto tilted his head backwards and noticed the giant Tanuki that was the Shukaku standing behind him with one paw raised ready to slam it down onto Naruto.
"RUN NARUTO" Gaara yelled out in desperation, as he watched the claw descended but Naruto made no movement and showed the giant beast no fear. Then shockingly a pair of giant orange furry claws erupted from the sand around Naruto grabbing onto Shukaku's falling claw stopping it in its tracks then it started pushing it upwards while the form of a giant fox started rising from the sand. With Naruto also rising up standing on top of the foxes head
The enormous fox tightened its grip onto Shukaku and threw him away, "BAKA." Kurama said at Shukaku who was trying to right himself.
"Did you really believe I would allow you to kill my vessel so easily? You're more stupid then I thought baby Shukaku…"
"FUCK YOU KURAMA." Shukaku yelled as he tilted his head up and began charging a tailed beast ball.
Kurama with a bored look just waved his nine tails in Shukaku's direction resulting in a large wave of air pressure throwing Shukaku away and nullifying his Bijudama.
"LET ME SHOW YOU HOW IT'S DONE RUNT!"
Kurama tilted his head up as Shukaku watched in horror as the black and white chakra began gathering intensely fast and a second later Kurama unleashed it in a beam form on Shukaku completely obliterating Tanuki.
Gaara shook as he gripped the bars of his cage for support, "Is he gone forever?" he asked shakily.
Kurama snorted while blowing some steam from his mouth, "I wish… I just destroyed him from this level of your mindscape. Most likely he is banging around somewhere else now looking for a way to come back in and torment you some more.
"Let's see what we can do about this seal Kurama?" Naruto said while jumping down from Kurama's head.
Naruto placed his hand onto the lock of the seal revealing the cracked seal array Gaara had, Naruto sighed while looking at it. "As Shikamaru would say this is going to be troublesome…"
"Tell me about it, this seal is a piece of junk compared to ours, but I believe with some time we can fix it." Kurama added on.
Gaara looked on in amazement at the interactions between the two, "Why are you helping me?"
Without looking away from the seal he was trying to fix Naruto replied, "Because I actually consider you as my brother Gaara…"
Gaara tilted his head down in shame and sniffed out with a few tears in his eyes, "Thank you…."
Than Gaara looked up at Naruto with concern, "Wait I need to tell you that Suna is planning to invade Konoha alongside of Oto!"
Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "We kind of expected that already. Though I would like to know what is the reason behind Suna's sudden change of heart regarding their alliance with Konoha?"
"Suna is desperate; a lot of our missions are being directed to the more popular choice of Konoha. My father thinks by attacking and crushing Konoha we can prove to the world that we are still deserving of our status as one of the major Shinobi villages…" Gaara responded.
Naruto cocked his head slightly and asked, "Surely a political approach would have been a better choice than a straight up attack."
Gaara shook his head, "The Kazekage has tried that but even with the Sandaime promising to inform the clients to direct more missions to us, many of our clients still choose to hire Konoha's services over ours…"
Naruto nodded his head in understanding, "So when Oto gave the Kazekage the opportunity he took it…"
But before Gaara could reply Kurama yelled out. "Kid while this small talk between two Jinchuuriki's is always boring as hell, according to Hashi-chan we have to go! There is some unwanted company namely some Oto-nins that don't like you messing with their weapon…
Naruto turned to Kurama and said, "We can't! I just destabilized the seal if I leave now Shukaku will have free roam over Gaara's mindscape!"
Too bad I rather not die, Kurama said as he bent down and swallowed Naruto whole, Naruto blinked and out of sheer reflexes he was able to bend backwards just in time to dodge a slash of a kunai from a Oto-nin.
Following through with the backflip he was able to kick the Oto-nin that tried to slash his throat away, then placing his hand on the ground he was able to spin his body kicking away two more advancing Oto Shinobi.
Genma, Raido and Hayate were quick to appear in a triangle defensive formation around Naruto hoping to deter any more attacks on the boy, because numerous Oto Shinobi had appeared from random parts of the audience some had jumped down to the arena and others stood on the railings overlooking the pit.
Naruto looked up at the audience then said in a loud voice, "Shinobi of Suna… your plan is exposed and your weapon defeated. I give you one warning surrender or face defeat at the hands of me my fellow Shinobi…"
One of the Oto-nin nearby jeered, "What do you know about war brat, you look as if you barely just graduated your baby academy…"
"I saw show you what I know as an example, watch carefully now…" Naruto replied as he took his katana and threw up into the air spinning up into the air, as the katana began its decent the sound of whirling was heard then a loud crack and a flash of light. The next time anybody else saw was just the sheath of the katana imbedding itself into the dirt of the stadium with Naruto holding the blade over the shealth and letting go of it allowing itself to slide back into the sheath with a resounding
CLICK
The Oto-nin who had jeered Naruto less than 5 second's ago face twisted from a sneer into one of horror as blood began spraying out of from a cut that ran diagonally across his chest, a second later every Oto-nin that had revealed themselves found themselves all in the same predicament as they shortly all fell over with nearly identical cuts…
Then a resounding click as Naruto had slid the katana back into the sheath
Up in the Hokage's booth Onoki jumped out of his seat ran over to the side of the railing and clutched it while staring down at Naruto with wide eyes, he said in shock under his breath "Hirashin!"
Orochimaru saw this as his chance and immediately signaled for the start of the invasion with the two elder kages separated, before anybody could realize what happened an explosion shook the Kage's booth and feathers fell throughout the stadium.
The invasion of Konoha had started. Suddenly Oto-nin and Shinobi from Suna emerged from the shadows as unknown to them the 'prepared' Konoha Shinobi and Anbu met them straight on! Hayate, Raido and Genma scattered to aid in protecting the civilians and driving the invaders back, with Naruto taking off toward the area where his teammates were sitting.
He stopped briefly to incapacitate a Suna-nin with the blunt side of his katana then fliping over him and taking off the heads of a pair of advancing Shinobi from Oto. Running up the walls of the arena he flipped over the railing to nearly get knocked all the way back down by the body of a flying Shinobi from Suna.
By the sound of his scream and flailing arms Naruto deduced he was forcefully thrown off. Taking a good look at the scene he immediately noticed a competition going on among Anko and Kurotsuchi as they both had a pile of bodies near them and they would occasionally throw each other sneers.
"Enjoying yourselves girls?" Naruto asked.
Anko smirked as she drove a kunai into the eye of an Oto-nin than wrapping her arm around his head and giving a violent jerk to snap his neck. Flinging the body onto her pile she turned to Naruto and said, "I enjoy anytime I get to spill blood and still get paid…"
Naruto smirked at Anko's antics and responded, "Good because we need to organize ourselves and launch a counterattack now. Anko you take Kiba and Ten Ten head off to the front lines and aid our forces in the front line."
Anko nodded and yelled, "Come on kiddie's time to gut some more baddies."
"Hana take Choji and Kurotsuchi, find Shino and Shikamaru then head to the medical wing. We need to open up a path for the wounded!" Naruto continued on, hearing their assignments Hana took off with her two charges.
Naruto turned to Hinata who had her bow out and was putting arrows out at incredible speeds, aiding in crippling the superior numbers of the opposition. "So what are we going to do Naruto-kun? Even though you sent everybody else away leaving only the two of us I doubt it will be anything romantic." Hinata finished with a slight giggle.
Naruto gave her a warm smile as he ran his katana through an Oto-nin who was trying a sneak attack on Hinata. "I wish Hina-hime, but we should go up and ensure the daimyos and other royals are safe."
Hinata fired another round of arrows to halt anybody from following them then quickly leapt off the side over the railing and began dashing up the walls of the arena to the upper decks.
Leaping into the upper box, Naruto and Hinata came to the sight of total disarray as the heads of government tried to flee away while their samurai body guards and few Shinobi present tried to hold back the torrent of Oto and Suna Shinobi.
Naruto immediately leapt into the fray, while Hinata stayed back to aid him from distance with her bow. But the numbers proved to be too much as Naruto couldn't hold them all back as a few slipped past him to attack Hinata, believing that she was weak close range due to her use of the bow and arrow.
They quickly discovered the mistake they made in engaging a Hyuga in hand to hand combat, however while Hinata was able to easily dispatch of her opponents she was distracted by a scream from the daimyo's wife.
Turning her head she noticed she had fallen to the ground and a Oto-nin stood above her with a kunai ready to bring it down upon her.
Hinata choose to quickly draw an arrow from her quiver and fire it into the neck of the Oto-nin killing him instantaneously, sadly it left Hinata open to an attack as she couldn't get back in time to block a kick right to her chest launching her into a row of chairs.
Naruto saw this and let out a feral growl as his nail elongated in rage as he threw his katana through the head of one of the ninja's he was fighting than shoving his hands through the chest of another two and ripping out their hearts. He watched in horror as a dozen ninja's jumped onto Hinata's location piling around her.
Just as Naruto was about to unleash full Kurama's rage on them a scream of, " ROTATION!" and a large sphere of chakra spun emerged from Hinata's position throwing away those who sought to kill her.
Naruto was at her side immediately as a drip of blood rolled from Hinata's lips while she panted heavily. She leaned onto Naruto's body for a moment as she pressed her hand against her chest in multiple areas to check for any breaks.
Luckily she found none, as the plates sewn into her Kimono were just enough to dampen the damage.
The daimyo who was now comforting his wife turned to Hinata and said, "Hinata-chan! I must thank you for saving my wife; I see that my foresight in gifting you that bow when you were younger wasn't wrong."
"Lord Damiyo it is a pleasure to see you again, and as usual your intellect comes true." Hinata replied with utmost respect to the feudal lord.
Daimyo said as he inspected his wife for any other injuries, "If you ever need anything, don't be afraid to ask as I will do everything in my power to try and grant it."
Naruto and Hinata immediately moved and stood with their backs facing the Daimyo, "That is if we make it out of this alive Daimyo-sama." Naruto said as he slipped into the same juken stance as Hinata, because just as Naruto finished saying that, another 2 dozen Oto-nin leapt into the box.
"No there is something you can do for us… especially if we don't make it out of this alive…" Hinata said as she measured her opponents with her Byakugan.
"What is it you wish for Hinata-chan." The Daimyo asked as he pulled his wife closer to him, Hinata slipped from her juken stance and grabbed onto Naruto's hand. "Could you marry us Damiyo-sama? Even if it is only for a short moment I would like to be married to the man I love…"
The Daimyo slowly stood up and gave the young couple a hesitant smile, he said as the Oto-nin charged at them. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the sight of Kami above and the presence of my wife."
Naruto and Hinata dashed forward sending a pair of full powered juken strikes into the chest of the first Oto-nin completely obliterating his innards and sending his corpse flying backwards and bowling over one of his comrades.
"To witness and celebrate one of life's greatest moments, to give our blessings and wishes to the union of one Hinata, Hyuga and Naruto Uzumaki-Senju." The Daimyo continued as Naruto grabbed onto Hinata's arm and swung Hinata giving her the momentum to kick in the face of not one but two Oto Shinobi.
Hinata landed back onto the ground and bent over to allow Naruto to roll over her back and shove another two of them away, which gave Hinata the opening to yank two arrows out of her quiver and fire them through their heads.
"So I ask this question, Do you Naruto, Uzumaki-Senju take thee Hinata Hyuga, to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in heath, to love and to cherish, till death do you part?
Naruto dodged a tanto strike from one of the Oto-nin then countered by slashing his throat with a kunai, afterwards he reached over and grabbed onto Hinata's waist and pulled her to him and said gently to her, "I do!"
Breaking apart they both parried an attack aimed for the other and sent an extra powered juken palm right into their opponents faces.
Do you Hinata Hyuga take thee Naruto Uzumaki-Senju to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in heath, to love and to cherish, till death do you part?
Propelling one of the female Oto-nin's out of the booth with an air palm, Hinata was able to buy the time to warp her arms around Naruto's neck then stare longingly into each other's eyes and respond, "I do!
As the remaining Shinobi leapt at the embracing couple all at once, Naruto nodded to Hinata both simultaneously yelling out, "ROTATION!" Scattering the remaining enemy forces all over the booth, finishing the rotation they threw kunai's with explosive tags attached onto them vaguely in the direction where the fallen Oto-nin were now lying.
"By the power invested in me as the ruling Daimyo of the land, I now pronounce you husband and wife! You may now kiss the bride!" the Daimyo quickly finished as he immediately dived to the floor and took cover as the explosive tags started going off, but even with the explosions all around and the screams and flying of bodies. In the middle of it all stood the newlywed couple holding each other in an embrace and sharing their first married kiss…..
