Chapter 1: The Dancing Willow

Naruto looked around and his dark apartment, the mold on the ceiling, the torn up floorboards, the faded blood on the walls with words he so desperately tried to erase and forget. No one likes him in this village, he put on a smile every day and went to school to try to make friends like everyone else. It never worked he was always alone.he couldn't really blame them, he heard the rumors. The ones they tried to mumble, that he was a monster, that he killed a bunch of people on his birthday, that he was the nine tailed fox demon that restored the village. He did some research foxes where notorious trouble makers and tricksters. He had all the habits of one. Naruto tricked the villagers into thinking he was stupid, he played pranks on them, and he like the rush he got when he was the center of attention. Sometimes he thought, "maybe I am the demon fox."

Naruto tried to convince himself that he wasn't tried to play less pranks. He tried to not fake things as much but that just made his life so much worse. The incident with Mizuki made things worse, the whole village was after him that night. Iruka made things better by believing in him and letting him graduate. Or at least Naruto thought it made it better. His genin team convinced him otherwise. Sakara the girl he pretended to like to be "normal" hated him she constantly complained about how he dragged the team down. Sasuke ignored him or called him dead last or stupid. Sasuke never looked at his face enough to see how much he hated pretending to be stupid. Kakashi was the worst though, he ignored Naruto never helping talking to him or encouraging him. His own sensei hated him for some reason.

Maybe this could change though Naruto had researched the books kakashi was reading to see if maybe he could learn what his sensei liked and boy did he learn. He learned about relationships between males and females. And how men like to be pampered by their women and be generally in control. He realized that none of this would work because he was a male himself and as things between himself and the villagers got worse he got desperate. He started to look at women near his apartment to see what the differences were between him and them. The hair was longer in most cases, so he started growing his out. They wore tight clothing so he bought clothes that fit him tighter. That didn't work or look the same, so he snuck into the place he saw a lot of grumpy men going into and looking happy when they came out. Naruto went to the red light district.

The red light district was a completely different world there were men in suits standing outside calling to other men on the street. There were bright signs advertising businesses and women hanging out on balconies calling out to the men on the street. No one looked twice at Naruto here, he was just another face in the crowd. The men walking through here seemed a bit happier but not as happy as the men who left here. Naruto had to know how to make his team happy, he had to find out what made these men so happy. So he did what any 16 year old would do he walking into the business that had the happiest men walking out of it.

The Dancing Willow was a large establishment with three floors. It looked light it had been there for a long time. It was in an older style with rice paper sliding doors, lanterns hung from the balcony, and swaying Willow branches engraved in the wood. The outside of the building was quite no men in suits or women to call out to passing customers. Just the soft noise of a koto could be heard in the background. Naruto felt reluctant to walk in like he was an outsider. He feared that he would be kicked out like he was everywhere else.

Naruto looked around at all the other business, the lights, the noise, and the men walking out of those ones. He had to go into the Dancing Willow. The men walking out of this one were the happiest. So Naruto took a deep breath and walked through the door. The interior was just as quiet and dignified as the outside. Flowers in vases filled the hallways laurels, mauve carnations, lemon blossoms, and two white lilies. "How can I help you sir." An older woman in a kimono asked Naruto noticing he was dazed by the interior.

"I don't really know," Naruto did his tradition head scratching dumb face. "I'm trying to make my friends like me and I noticed a lot of happy men coming out of here so… here I am?" The woman gave him a bit of a weird look and Naruto was certain he was going to be thrown out. If not for being a demon then certainly for not belonging here. But the woman simply smiled indulgently and turned with a follow me look. They pair walked through hallway after hallway, passing by many flower vases but none of the others had the white lilies that were by the entrance.

"We keep what happens at the Dancing Willow private. Our customers come to us because our women are well trained and know how to keep their mouths shut. They also come to us because we have the most exotic merchandise. White Lilies are had to find these days especially at an age where men will pay through the roof to get their hands on one. We currently have two one of which is being deflowered tonight." The woman continued to bable about things Naruto didn't understand. He just wanted to know how to make Kakashi and Sasuke like him not about flowers, or dancing. But maybe this is what he needed to know to make them happy so he tried to pay attention, especially since the woman said they had a training session going on for their newest woman that he could sit in on. She said it would show him how the women make men happy.

As she finished saying this Naruto and the woman walked into a beautiful courtyard with an ancient weeping willow tree. There were several women all scantily clad in kimonos made from sheer fabric. Naruto blushed and tried to turn away but the woman wouldn't let him. She said that this is how they made the men happy and that he had to watch. So Naruto did, he watched as their nipples hardened under the cool breeze, watched as they started to dance to the sound of the koto. He watched as they gracefully entwined their bodies playing with the other woman's breasts and exchanging open mouth kisses with each other.

The woman started to intertwine their bodies rubbing on each other and moving their hands to pull apart the kimono. One of the women, a red head decided to go further with her dance partner. She moved her hand down the brunet's body to tweak her nipples not satisfied with the sound that came from the woman's throat. She decided to take it even further and moved her other hand to hike up the base of the kimono putting the brunet's pink folds on display for Naruto to see. The redhead whispered something to the brunet before rubbing her fingers slowing over the woman's clit. Naruto watched as the brunet started to lose the fight to stand. He didn't understand what part of this would make men happy. It confused him. The older woman saw this and smiled indulgently at him again. Showing him from this area the same way she did the other.

They walked further into the building where all the rooms had quite sounds escaping them, soft sighs, groans, and some even high pitched moans. She took him into the back where one of the lilies was being deflowered. She motioned him to look through the crack of the door and Naruto finally saw how these women were making men happy. The Lily was a woman, with black hair cascading over her shoulders onto her pert nipples and breasts. The deflowering the woman had been talking about was a man pushing his fingers into her wet pussy while she moaned and clutched the bedding on the tatami floor. The man was smiling and licking his lips as he moved his fingers in the wet heat of her pussy. The man shortly decided the woman was ready for him and pulled his dick out of his pants only to push it into her virgin hole. Naruto head the woman cry out and almost ran into the room but the older woman stopped him before he could ruin Lily's first time. Lily soon stopped crying and started moaning in pleasure as the man thrust in and out of her tight pussy. He set a slow pace at first but got faster as Lily's cries for him to stop soon become cries for more. The man could tell she was close so he did what any good man would do, he brought his fingers to her clit and flicked it. He teased her little nub as he enjoyed the heat around his dick. The man loved that Lily's walls tightened around him as she got closer to the edge. Before she could fall over that edge though the man in question came filling her pussy with his release.

Naruto and the older woman looked on as the man pulled out of Lily and proceeded to tell he how good she was as he cuddled her. The moment felt private so Naruto turned away and the older woman took that as a sign to move on. She took him back to her office where she introduced herself as Heather. She told Naruto that she didn't know if he could use this method to make his team happy as she had not seen male yujo make their customers happy. The draw for male yujo was not as large as it was for the female yujo. Naruto looked at heather, "I don't know what to do, I am an outcast wherever I go. My teammate hates me and calls me stupid, and my sensei can't even look me in the eyes or pay attention to me. Is there no way that I could take lessons here in the dancing at least to see if it could work."

Heather looked at the boy in front of her, he looked very similar to most of the woman that walked into her home sad, outcast, lost, hated. She knew he was the demon child but it was not her place to tell him this or why people hated him. Her job was to make sure that the woman who came to her had a safe place to get the love they needed even if it was just a fantasy of false love. So she did the only thing she could do, she offered him a place to stay and let him learn with her yujo.

Yujo- the name for a Japanese prostitute, translates to "woman of pleasure"

Language of the flowers

Willow- false love,

Heather- protection
