Sssss, the bacon sizzled as Naruto laid it into the pan. Hinata was showering as he made breakfast for them both. It had been a fruitful first day back in the village, and now he looked forward to an equally fruitful second day.

As the meat cooked, he turned around to find Hinata standing behind him, completely naked. "I shaved, just like you asked me to," she said, pointing at her now hairless crotch.

"Excellent," Naruto said, walking over to kiss her first, before crouching down in front of her. He kissed the now smooth patch of skin, caressing her equally smooth legs. The seal he had placed on her glowed as he sent a small current of chakra into it.

He stood back up to look into her lavender eyes, running his hands up her body as he did so. "Now go put some clothes on. We have some things to talk about."

"Yes, Master," she said, happily obeying him.

Naruto smiled as he heard what she called him. He had learned a number of things during the two years he was away, but perhaps the most important thing was the Slave Seal Jutsu. It was similar to Orochimaru's Curse Marks but differed vastly in its function. The Slave Seal had several uses, but primarily, it was intended to establish complete dependence of the recipient on the applicant. As a result, Hinata was now emotionally, psychologically, and sexually bound to him. She was essentially his slave, to use whenever and however he pleased. Once upon a time, Naruto may have objected to the use of such a seal, but two years with Masame had changed that. However, he wasn't a cruel man, and any slave that he collected would be treated well.

He had explained all of this to her the previous day, taking his time to answer all of her questions as best as he was allowed. He had instructed her to call him 'Master', in the same way that he addressed Masame as 'Mistress'. After Hinata's curiosity had been satisfied, she had made dinner, and the two of them spent the rest of the night getting to know each other after such a long time apart.

He finished cooking just as Hinata walked back in, dressed in her usual outfit. As they sat down to eat, Naruto began to question her about the events that had occurred in his absence.

"Has there been any news about Sasuke?" he asked. It had been five years since Sasuke had left the Village, but Naruto still cared deeply about his friend.

Hinata hesitated before answering, "Sasuke joined the Akatsuki."

Naruto's eyes widened at the news. "What? Why?"

"I don't know," she shook her head. "People have guessed that Sasuke managed to kill his brother and took his place. He attacked the Eight Tails Jinchuriki a few weeks after you disappeared, but he lost. The Jinchuriki was the Raikage's brother, so he called a Five Kage Summit, and they declared Sasuke to be an international criminal."

"What the fuck," he cursed under his breath. Naruto expected many wild developments, but this news about Sasuke came out of the blue. When he had last seen him, Sasuke had still been on his quest to kill his brother, and it seemed that he had achieved his goal since then. However, these new actions were inexplicable. How much had his friend changed in their time apart? It would be more difficult than ever to convince people that Sasuke wasn't a bad guy at heart. The first friend he had ever made was now one of the most wanted men in the world.

Hinata placed her hand over his, trying to comfort him.

"So what's happened with the Akatsuki? I thought they were done for after I defeated Pain," he said.

"They're still operating. They attacked the Eight Tails again last year, and this time, they got him. They've been lying low since then."

That made sense at least, as the Nine Tails was the only tailed beast left for them to capture. Since Naruto had been presumed dead, they were clearly waiting for the Nine Tails to reincarnate.

"This is really good, Master," she said, pointing to the food, obviously trying to distract him from the serious topics at hand.

"Thank you," he smiled, deciding to change the subject. "So Danzo Shimura is the Hokage now. What's that like?"

"Well, a lot of the older people seem to like him, but most of the younger people don't."

"And what do you think?" he prodded further.

She seemed to be surprised by the question. She tried to find an answer for a few moments before she finally said, "I don't really know enough to have an opinion."

Naruto frowned at this, disappointed by her indecisiveness.

"But I did like Lady Tsunade better than him," she said quickly, seeing his expression.

"That's good at least," he said. "And speaking of Granny Tsunade, what happened to her? I heard there was a lot of drama after she woke up." Naruto cringed internally as he called her 'Granny'. He would have to stop doing that soon.

"Lady Tsunade woke up from her coma just a few days after Lord Danzo was elected by the jonin. A lot of people were angry because they wanted her to be the Hokage again, and there were protests. But legally, there was nothing anyone could do, so she just went into retirement."

The news about the tension between Hokages had spread quite far, so Naruto already had a vague sense of this, but it was good to hear from someone that had actually been there. "And where is she now?"

"I'm not sure, but people say she goes on vacations a lot, so she's probably out of the village right now."

Naruto sighed, as this was more bad news, as it complicated his next steps. But compared to the crushing news about Sasuke, it really wasn't that bad.

Hinata had to go to work, so Naruto sent her off. She was a chef at the Academy's kitchens, where they made food not only for the Academy students, but also for the Hokage and his staff. He gave her strict instructions not to mention anything to anyone about him. Before leaving, she gave him her spare key to the apartment. Afterwards, he went out into the city to find an old friend.

He staked out places near the Konoha General Hospital until he found her. He had to stick to rooftops and back alleys, but he eventually spotted her distinctive pink hair. Many ninja worked jobs in the village when they didn't have missions. Sakura's job, ever since she had become a medical-nin, had been working at the hospital. Unlike Hinata, she hadn't changed too much outwardly. She was still the same pretty girl that she had been two years ago.

Naruto kept an eye on the hospital for the day, but he took a break to get lunch at Ichiraku Ramen, using the transformation jutsu to conceal his identity. The nostalgia hit him hard as he sat down at the counter. Teuchi and Ayame had been one of the only people to show him kindness while he grew up, and most of the good memories from his childhood came from this place. Ayame caught his eye when she served him his ramen. She was like a big sister to him, but still a very attractive big sister. But he put those thoughts to the back of his mind as he dug into the bowl in front of him.

Once he was finished eating, he returned to his perch where he could watch the hospital. He knew Sakura's daily routine well, since the two of them were quite close. She was a creature of habit, so he expected that not much had changed. However, just in case, he watched the hospital all day to ensure that he would catch her at the right time. He wanted to go see what the rest of his friends were doing, but he held himself back; there would be time for that later.

Eventually, Sakura finished her shift and walked through the streets, closely tailed by Naruto. It was a Monday, so she made a stop at the grocery store, as expected, before dropping by Yamanaka Flowers to say hello to Ino, also as expected. Then, she finally headed home.

It appeared that she still lived with her parents, so he would need to work around that. Through her window, he watched as she undressed and went into the bathroom to take a shower. Taking this as his cue, he snuck into her room by silently unlatching the window.

Drawing the curtains and locking the door to her room, he activated the Pheromone Jutsu, as well as another jutsu he had learned during his time away. Katsu, one of Masame's men, had taught him how to use barrier ninjutsu. Specifically, he had taught him a justu that was specially designed to work in conjunction with the Pheromone Jutsu. The Venus Barrier was a simple technique that would prevent any pheromones or sound from leaving. It couldn't stop people from entering and exiting, but that was a risk that had to be taken. Naruto stripped naked and sat down on her bed to wait, slowly stroking his cock as he thought about her.

He had been in love with Sakura for a long time, but she never returned his affections. She had always carried a torch for Sasuke, regardless of how much he had hurt her. He had threatened to kill her the last time they had seen him, but her love didn't waver. He wondered whether she was still holding out for Sasuke to this day, or whether she had moved on. The news about him joining the Akatsuki couldn't have been easy on her. Naruto had let go of his feelings for her after he began dating Hinata, but Sakura still meant a lot to him. Now, he was going to bed her just as he had dreamed when he was 13. He wanted her to be a virgin, but he didn't get his hopes up. She was a very attractive woman, with the confidence to back it up. If she had wanted to lose her virginity at any point in the last two years, there would've been plenty of men willing to assist her.

Hearing the shower turn off, Naruto prepared himself. She had spent ten full minutes under the effects of the Pheromone Jutsu, which were compounded by the barrier increasing the concentration of pheromones in the air, so she was no doubt quite aroused.

Sakura stepped out of the bathroom, wrapped in her towel. She screamed in shock as she saw the naked man sitting in her room. "Naruto?!" she said incredulously. Her eyes darted between his face, his muscles, and his enormous penis.

"Hey, Sakura," he said, smiling and walking towards her. She backed up until she hit the wall, breathing heavily. Her eyes were wide with alarm, but she still let him approach. "I've been waiting for this for a long time," he whispered as he kissed her. For a moment, Sakura kissed him back, but she quickly pushed him away.

"What the hell, you bastard!" she bellowed. She tried to make a fist, but he grabbed her hand and pinned it against the wall before she could. He ripped off her towel and his dick hardened as he saw her nude body for the first time.

Now, she was too horny to push him away. She let him kiss her, feeling her up as he did so. He sucked on her neck, breathing in her strawberry scent. He snaked his hands up her toned abs to reach her firm breasts. He recalled that Ino used to say Sakura was 'flat as a board', but he could feel in his hands that it was an unfair assessment. Her breasts weren't large, but he still enjoyed squeezing them and playing with her nipples.

She ran her hands down his arms, and began pressing her body closer to him, grinding against his cock.

He picked her up and tossed her on the bed. Her legs automatically spread for him as he got on top of her. "Motherfucker," she swore when he inserted a finger into her pussy.

"You're so wet," he said, as he licked her juices off of his finger. "Are you a virgin, Sakura?" he asked.

"What?…No…" she answered, obviously distracted by the nine inch penis rubbing against her entrance.

This was disappointing, but he hadn't gotten his hopes up in the first place. Regardless, it was time to make her his.

Her eyes widened as he entered her. She gasped for air as she felt him stretch her from the inside. Naruto closed his eyes as he enjoyed the feeling of her vagina. She was even tighter than Hinata.

Sakura moaned loudly as he began thrusting, making no effort to prevent her parents from hearing. She gripped his biceps tightly, digging her nails into his skin. Her legs were tightly wrapped around him, desperate to keep him inside of her. She bucked her hips in tandem with his movements, clearly loving every second.

Naruto was having a great time as well, finally getting to fuck his childhood crush. He liked the way her pink hair splayed across the bed. He looked into her green eyes as he fucked her. He noticed that the color was just a shade darker than Masame's eyes.

Sakura lasted much longer than Hinata had, but he began to target her G-spot. Her moans increased in intensity as he did so. Her pussy squeezed down on him, trying to trap him inside. Suddenly, he stopped all movement and pulled out. "Alright, I think that's good enough for now," he said nonchalantly.

She looked at him with desperation in her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck, stopping him from moving away. "No, no please, don't stop!" she begged him, distressed that he wouldn't carry her to climax.

"Well, then, if you insist." He resumed thrusting, and she was once again lost in her pleasure. Soon, she reached her climax, her eyes squeezing shut, and her arms tightening her hold on him.

After giving her a moment to rest, Naruto began pounding her once again, this time with increased ferocity. After a few dozen more thrusts, Naruto came inside of her. He buried his face in her neck, surprised at the intensity of his orgasm. Once he had recovered, he gave Sakura a tender kiss.

"Naruto," she said softly, stroking his hair, "you're alive".

"Yes, I am," he said, flashing a grin.

Before they could say anything else, Sakura's mom called from downstairs, "Sakura, dinner's ready!"

"Fuck," she swore. He deactivated the barrier so she could yell down, "I'll be right there!"

She whimpered as he pulled out of her. He placed his hand on her pelvis and placed the Slave Seal on her shaven pussy. Her eyes rolled back into her head as the seal established its hold on her. After a few moments, she returned to normal.

They quickly got dressed, and Naruto slipped back through the window.

"Bye, Sakura. But don't worry, I'll be back tonight."

For dinner, Naruto went back to Hinata's apartment. They ate together and had sex. After a few hours, he returned to Sakura's house. She greeted him happily this time, wearing just a white slip, and tried to take off his clothes as soon as he stepped through the window.

Gently, he stopped her, "There'll be time for that later." He had to get business out of the way before he indulged in pleasure. He sat her down on the bed and erected the Venus Barrier so they could talk in private.

"Sakura, I need your help with something."

"What is it, Naruto?"

"Call me Master," he commanded.

"Yes, Master," she said without hesitation. "What do you need?"

"How familiar are you with poisons?"

"Lady Shizune taught me to identify most known poisons, and how to administer antidotes for them."

"Good, have you heard of a poison called the Strangler?"

She stiffened as she heard the name. "Yes, I have. What could you ever want with that?" The Strangler was one of the rarest and most dangerous poisons in the world. It was said that it could kill a victim before they even knew they were dying.

"I need to get my hands on it. I know that Tsunade bought some vials of it a while back, and I know she probably still has them. Do you know where she might keep them?"

A year ago, Masame had had one of her men, a medical-nin named Porto, try to find the poison. He had tracked down a black market vendor only to find that the vendor was sold out. Portho had returned empty handed, but came with the information that the Fifth Hokage had paid a hefty sum for all five vials the vendor possessed. Tsunade was an honorable woman, so Naruto had suspected that she had bought the poison to keep it out of the wrong hands. The disagreement between the Fifth Hokage and the Sixth was well known, so he had also figured that she had the vials hidden away, rather than handing them over to the government.

Sakura's eyes widened as she realized what he wanted to do. She took a few moments to think before she came to an answer. "Lady Tsunade has a room where she keeps all the things she's collected during her travels. There's rare alcohol and weapons in there, and I think the poison might be there too."

"Awesome," Naruto smiled broadly, elated to hear her answer.

"But why do you - mmf" she got out before he interrupted her with a kiss. She immediately gave up trying to speak and proceeded to kiss him back.

He didn't have the patience to answer all of her questions tonight. In addition, this was the first piece of good news he had gotten today, and he wanted to celebrate it. He reached his hands under her slip, deciding that the time for business was over.

One week later, Sakura stood across the street from the Senju Clan residence. It was a large, traditional style home, far from the village's center. Because of its location, it was one of the handful of buildings that remained untouched by Pain's Invasion. At one time, it had served as a hub for the thriving Senju Clan and housed the First Hokage and his family. However, the First Shinobi World War had taken a heavy toll on the Senju, and today, there remained only a single member: Tsunade.

During her time as Hokage, Tsunade lived in the Hokage's Mansion, but following her retirement, she had taken up residence in her ancestral home. Sakura and Shizune had overseen the movement of Tsunade's belongings between buildings while she was in her coma. And after she had woken up, they had helped her settle into her new home. As a result, Sakura had visited the house on numerous occasions, and knew the general layout of the house. She and Tsunade were close, but they weren't so close that she could just walk into her house.

Most large houses in the village weren't protected by lock and key but by Alarm Barriers. The barriers wouldn't actually prevent anyone from entering, but they would alert the Konoha Police Force the instant they detected an intruder. The police were specifically trained to be fast, so they would be on the scene within minutes. As a result, it was easy to steal things from houses, but getting caught was unavoidable.

Sakura sighed as she looked down at the book in her hands: Principles of Medical Ninjutsu. It was a first edition copy of the very first medical ninjutsu textbook, written by Tsunade herself during the Second Shinobi World War. It was a revered text among medical-nin, so Sakura had been beyond honored when Tsunade had gifted it to her. She was unhappy to be parting with it.

In fact, she was reluctant to go through with this mission at all. Stealing from a woman who was both the former Hokage and her sensei felt wrong. However, she respected her master's wishes, and Naruto had promised her a reward if she was able to complete the mission successfully.

Out of the corner of her eye, Sakura saw the only other person in view turn off of the street. The coast was clear, so she began sprinting, gripping the book tightly with her leather gloves. She opened the gate and crossed the barrier without hesitation. As she did so, she glanced at her watch. She would have roughly three minutes to do everything she needed to.

Reaching the sliding door, she threw it open and ran inside, placing the textbook right behind the door. She didn't even look at the rooms to her left and right before bolting across the main hallway and going through the door at the end of it.

She was now in the central courtyard, covered in greenery. Normally, she would've taken a few moments to admire the beauty of the plant life, but she had no time to waste. She ran around the edge of the courtyard, careful not to get grass stuck to her shoes. Spotting the door at the back right, she went through it to find another hallway that she promptly crossed to get to a room on her left. This was the door to the cellar, and she flung herself down the stairs, landing on her feet at the bottom.

She reached over to the wall and turned on the lights, illuminating multiple rows of wooden shelves. Tsunade's trophies glistened in the light; they were a collection of the rare wines, precious jewels, and ancient weapons that she had collected on her travels. Selling these was how she managed to stay ahead of her gambling debts.

Sakura had two minutes left. She ran to the back of the room, locating the last shelf on the left. Scanning the shelf, she found her prize: a large metal box. Quickly, she grabbed it and pulled on the lid. It didn't budge. She pulled it again to no avail. When she looked more closely at the box, she realized it was locked. Sakura started to hyperventilate. This wasn't part of the plan.

Hinata had spent the past week using her Byakugan to map the inside of the house and figuring out exactly where the poison was located. But clearly, she had overlooked the fact that the box of poisons was locked.

Tick tock tick tock, her watch counted down the seconds. Her mind had gone blank in panic, but she was a kunoichi. She was trained to stay calm in even the most tense situations.

She reasserted control over her brain and decided on a course of action. She turned so she was facing the wall to her right, and pulled on the lid with all her might, using the strength she had gained over five years of training with Tsunade. This was a very risky move, but it was a risk she would have to take.

She tore the lid off the box, using so much force that the lid crashed against the wooden wall and left a dent. There were more than thirty vials of poison in the box, but the violence of her ripping off the lid had shattered several vials. The entire inside of the box was now covered in drops of poison.

Sakura quickly looked over the poisons, ignoring the ones that were colored red and purple. The Strangler was colorless, and she found five vials that were just that. One of them was broken, but that didn't matter. It was dangerous to let any poisons come into contact with bare skin, but luckily for Sakura, she had worn gloves. She picked out one of the intact vials and gently dropped it into her empty shuriken holster.

She quickly took off both of her gloves and left them on the floor before racing for the door. She had just under a minute left. She shut off the light and ran up the stairs. She crossed through the hallway and the courtyard. She was just backtracking her earlier steps, so this went much faster than before. Around the courtyard and down the main hallway, she closed all the doors she had opened earlier. Standing on the doorstep, she had only ten seconds to catch her breath and wipe away her sweat before she spotted the approaching cop. Now came the most critical moment of the operation: she had to convince the cop that she wasn't a thief.

"You! Stop right there!" he barked as he came through the gate. He wore the standard Konoha flak jacket, but the crest on his right shoulder identified him as a member of the Konoha Military Police Force. He was young for a cop, perhaps the same age as Kakashi. This was good for Sakura, since that meant he would probably be more lenient.

She pretended to be shocked to see him. "Oh, officer, did I do something wrong?"

"What are you doing here? You're trespassing on private property," he said, eyeing her with suspicion.

"I'm Lady Tsunade's apprentice. I was just returning a book that I borrowed from her. I didn't think it would be that big of a deal." Sakura did her best to sound innocent and stupid, hoping that would get the man to let her off with a warning.

The cop raised an eyebrow at this. "Show me your ID."

Sakura pulled out her ninja registration card, which displayed her status as a medical-nin and a jonin of Konoha. The man's glare softened slightly as he looked from her ID to the Leaf Village headband on her head.

"Where's the book? Why would you return it to an empty house instead of returning it to her directly?"

"It's a copy of Principles of Medical Ninjutsu," she said, gesturing towards the main door. He gave her a nod and she opened the door to show him the book she had placed on the floor earlier. "It's a really valuable book, so I didn't want to risk damaging it. I figured I would just come in and leave it here."

His glare softened even more. The Second Shinobi World War was still in living memory, so even a non-medical-nin like him would be aware of the significance of the textbook. "You could've left it on the doorstep."

"But then someone might steal it if they see it out in the open," she retorted.

The cop sighed and looked at his watch. The police had been a strong presence in the village when they were managed by the Uchiha Clan. However, since the massacre of the clan, the police had been on a gradual decline. It was common knowledge that the police were understaffed, so each cop had to work long hours. The sun had already begun setting, and the cop was clearly tired and ready to stop dealing with the situation.

"Alright kid," he said sternly, "I'm going to let you go, but I'm going to have to file a report and send a message to Lady Tsunade to confirm that you're her apprentice."

"Thank you so much!" Sakura gushed, "I'm so sorry for the trouble." She closed the door and the cop gestured for her to leave. She walked casually out of the gate and around the street, barely able to contain her excitement. Once she saw the cop hop away across the rooftops, she finally let it out.

"Hell yeah!" she pumped her fist in the air. A massive grin took over her face. She had actually done it; she had managed to steal from the Fifth Hokage's house without consequences.

As she walked back to the village's center, her thoughts turned to her master. Naruto had changed tremendously over the past two years, to the point where he seemed like an entirely different person. Gone were the obnoxious outbursts and the juvenile antics. He now possessed a mature confidence that she quite liked. Although, she could still see the familiar mischievous glint return to his eyes every now and then.

She couldn't imagine what he wanted with the Strangler. He had only given her vague answers to the countless questions she had asked. He had kept her in suspense for the entire past week, and she hoped he would finally reveal his secrets.

Soon after, her thoughts turned to his physical appearance. He still had the spiky blond hair, blue eyes, and whisker marks that he had always had, but he was now taller and more handsome. She had never thought of him in a romantic way before, but now, he was irresistible to her. She bit her lip at the thought of him fucking her, his cock stretching her to her limit and his hands groping her body. She hoped that the reward that now awaited her would involve both of these things.

Reaching Hinata's apartment, Sakura used the key Naruto had given her to let herself in. She walked into the living room to find Naruto sitting naked on the couch with his legs spread. Topless, Hinata rested on her knees in front of him, sliding her mouth up and down his cock.

"Hey, Sakura!" Naruto said excitedly as he saw her.

"Hello, Master," she responded, breaking into a smile.

Hinata turned and moved away so that Naruto could stand up. The two girls shot dirty looks at one another. Sakura disliked how much time Hinata got to spend with Naruto. Sakura could only see him for two hours a day at the most, but Hinata spent every morning, evening, and night with him.

"How did it go," he asked, his erect cock now pointed directly at her.

"It was a complete success," she said proudly.

"Yes!" Naruto exclaimed, rushing forward and grabbing her in a hug. He spun her around and kissed her deeply, making her heart beat rapidly. Instinctively, she reached down to stroke the cock that was pressed up against her, but he stopped her.

"Show me the vial," he said, pulling away from her. She reached down and unstrapped her shuriken holster, opening it for him to see. "Make sure not to touch it, Master. Some of the other poisons splashed onto the vial."

He took the holster into his hands and gazed at the poison in awe. "Can you clean it?"

"Yes, of course. We just need some medical wipes."

"Awesome," he said. "Put this in a safe place," he told Hinata, handing her the holster.

"Yes, Master," she said obediently, taking it and leaving the room.

Sakura eyed the Hyuga's tits enviously as they bounced away, but she refocused her attention on Naruto as soon as she was alone with him.

"So what's my reward, Master," she purred, stroking his chest. "Are you going to fuck me?"

"You bet I'm going to fuck you," he said, gripping both of her hips. "But that's not your reward. I'm going to tell you why I needed the poison." Sakura perked up as her curiosity returned to her. He looked her in the eye with complete seriousness and said coolly, "To kill the Hokage."
