She Makes Miso Happy
Chapter 7: Land of Flames
5 Months Later
Tree frogs croaked on top of lily pads gliding along the many ponds and rivers in the rainforest. Tree frogs were everywhere the moment Naruto and Ayame set foot in Hono no Kuni's (Land of Flames) largest rainforest known as the Rafka. The Rafka Rainforest stretched from one end of Hono no Kuni (Land of Flames) to the other. Hono no Kuni was situated at the very southern tip of the Elemental Nations, far south of Kaze no Kuni (Land of Wind). It was a volcanic nation with the southern tip of the country nearly bursting with cone, dome, and caldera volcanoes. That was also where the nations had an arctic biome of glaciers situated below the peaks of said volcanoes. Ayame loved Hono no Kuni, yet in this instance she hated it. This land was hotter, more humid, and far more dangerous than Hi no Kuni, especially deep in the Rafka Rainforest.
Ayame brushed aside large leafy shrubs and ventured deeper into the rainforest. She jumped over small brooks carving downhill through the muddy river shed. She stopped at the top of a rocky ridge overlooking the Rafka River and the valley it carved through. Ayame turned around and gazed high up into the vast canopy of trees towering above her. White orchids were blooming off branches and Rattan Palm vines. The air smelled of vanilla from all the blooming orchids. Ayame sighed and smirked as she spotted Naruto high up in the trees. She could only make out his face due to the fauna cover. Naruto's tanned whisker-marked face was covered in soot, sediment, and a layer of sweat. He had grown taller since they set off from Konoha.
Naruto was now 5'2, a four-inch increase from his previous 4'10 height before they left Konoha. Ayame stood at only 5'5 and now the added height made it more enjoyable whenever she hugged him into her warm, sweaty, and much larger breasts (they had grown from a D-cup to almost an E-cup). As much as she hated her big heaving breasts, Naruto couldn't get enough of them when she coaxed him into sucking them four months back. She blushed and closed her eyes remembering the hours he'd spent pleasing them. Her nipples hardened just thinking about her lover nibbling, caressing, and sucking her nipples.
"Ribbet!" A neon blue/black tree frog croaked loudly before hopping underneath a Walking Palm. Ayame gasped in surprise, "Kyah!" She saw more tree frogs jumping between the hundreds of anchoring trunks supporting the weird tree.
"Damn little things," Ayame muttered as she raised her machete and slashed through vines, elephant leaves, and thorny shrubs in the way of her path. "Naruto! Where are you?"
"Right behind you!" Naruto called out as he slipped down a vine from a forty-foot-tall tree down to the wet forest below. Naruto palms were in the dark Earth. He looked up and grinned at Ayame before saying, "There's an indigenous village about fifteen kilometers upstream. I saw a large smokestack coming from that direction. Whatever they're burning is causing the smoke to be dark and they're noticeable from this far away. Maybe we should investigate it on our way to Sansha. Ero-sensei might be happy to know we did some real spy work on this exercise."
Ayame turned around and faced the boy who stole her heart. With a wide grin, she said, "That dumb perverted sensei of ours just wanted us to get out of his way for two weeks."
"What do you think he's doing?"
"Research, for his new book!" Ayame sheathed her machete back on her back and made air quotations with her fingers. She then said, "Jiraiya is probably in some whorehouse in the middle of the jungle catching Syphilis and Dengue Fever!"
Naruto laughed as he ran up to her. He was dressed an in olive-green camouflaged military uniform just like her. They both replaced their Konoha Hitai-tai with regular green bandanas to catch their sweat in the humid jungle. Jiraiya's reasoning for them to wear camouflage clothing was to better conceal themselves in the jungle. He even went as far as sealing their chakra away, while also placing on them a Beacon Seal so he'd know their every location in the Rafka. All of this was to give a more realistic feel to their two-week jungle school survival exercise.
Naruto crashed into Ayame's arms and gave her a tender hug. His hands were holding her thick and protruding ass. Her ass hugged the fabric of her camouflaged pants so tightly that Naruto couldn't help but rub his hands in circles around her butt cheeks. Ayame flinched and blushed as Naruto looked up at her with that charming foxy grin of his. Naruto's impassioned sapphire eyes traveled down to the low cut of her shirt, which showed the top of her slightly tanned breasts. Ayame smiled and placed her hands on his ass and caressed his rock-hard cheeks before huskily saying, "Enjoying yourself?"
"Well, I uh," Naruto blushed as he felt his cock hardening against the fabric of Ayame's burning hot pussy. "I saw a beautiful nymph in the undergrowth of the Rainforest. She was doing such a good job bushwacking a path for me. That I just had to catch this wonderful nymph."
Ayame blushed and kissed Naruto's lips. Naruto caressed her left butt cheek with his right hand and brought it up slowly to her smooth slightly tanned cheek on her face. She didn't have that same hurt and painful look in her eyes she had in Konoha. Ayame was happy and back to her old loveable self. She chuckled and said, "You're lucky this nymph loves you so much because anyone else would be burned alive. My fox should be satisfied after I took care of his problem this morning. Anymore loving and we won't get to Sansha by tomorrow!"
"Ayame-chan, it'll be a cakewalk," Naruto said before squeezing Ayame's butt harder causing her to yip. Naruto smirked and disengaged himself away from Ayame. He looked out over the ridge of the watershed and smirked at his lover before saying, "We are only forty kilometers away. We've been doing forty-kilometer marches every day this entire week."
"We're almost out of this awful forest! This stupid training exercise isn't making us stronger. It's only put our training on hold for two weeks," Ayame said while frowning. She was frustrated by the humidity, not having access to her chakra, and the terrible buzzing mosquitos at every corner of her eyes. "I just want us to get back to our hotel room. I want a nice cold shower and one of your famous Uzumaki foot rubs. Hell, I want us to be able to use our chakra again!"
"I do too," Naruto said while unsheathing his machete out of its leatherbound sheath tied to his backpack. "I saw a way down the ridge over that way." He pointed to a dark foggy grove to their left. "Follow me, my lovely vixen!"
Ayame blushed at the mention of her new nickname. Naruto started calling her Vixen a few months back after she mastered fire release. It had something to do with her being so fiery. She followed Naruto while he slashed a pathway for them through the densely packed viny forest. They journeyed forward passing by lazy giant sloths on treetops. Hanging from vines were black spider monkeys, which swung overhead to Acai trees to sample their fruits. Naruto swung and slashed his machete through more vines blocking their path. He swatted mosquitoes buzzing around his face only for them to be quickly snatched by light pink tongues.
The tongues retreated into colorful purple and blue tree frogs' mouths. Naruto was oblivious to the wildlife, he simply continued hacking and slashing while grunting, "Damn jungle! Everything here is trying to kill you! It's hot, humid, sticky, and eww!" He jumped away from a giant tarantula that crawled away into the low underbrush.
Ayame smirked mischievously and said, "We're supposed to be quiet, but you are making more racket than the howler monkeys!"
"Not everyone is so acquainted with the jungle," Naruto said while sheathing his machete. Ayame chuckled then slashed her machete through much thicker foliage only to reveal ancient basalt stone steps carved by the indigenous. Ayame smiled at Naruto who followed behind his vixen.
"Wow! How did you know that was there?"
"I felt the wind traveling down through these vines," Ayame said with a smirk. She grabbed Naruto's sweaty whisker-marked cheek with her right hand. She gave it a tender squeeze then said, "Had a hunch my handsome fox."
Naruto quickly wrapped his arms around Ayame's waist and gave her soft juicy pink lips a quick kiss. She gasped out a low moan while continuing to caress his cheek with her hand. Naruto smiled and kissed Ayame's juicy pink lips again then looked down at the ancient basalt stone steps.
"You should have been an archeologist or an explorer. You can read maps better than me and you move around here like you were born in the jungle," Naruto said, before gazing at her honey-brown eyes. She saw the impassioned and proud tint in his sapphire eyes. "I was born to be a soldier. I wish I had even the tiniest bit of your talent."
"Naruto, you are talented!" Ayame protested while sheathing her machete with her left hand. She started caressing both of his whisker-marked cheeks and smiled back at him. "You are the funniest man I know and you're so good with your hands. I doubt there's another man alive who can give half as good a foot massage as you."
Naruto blushed at Ayame's compliments. It became a kindhearted ritual for him to give Ayame a foot massage after their twelve-hour training stints before this survival exercise. Every time he gave Ayame a massage, her feet, calves, and legs would melt in his strong exploring hands. A few times he brought her to orgasm by his devoted ministrations. He looked up at her, but she took him out of his perverted revere by saying, "You were born perfect. You don't have to be the soldier everyone wants you to be."
"You say that like I haven't spilled blood," Naruto said while trying to turn his head away from her loving gaze, but his head was held in place by her caring hands. "It's stupid for me to think I can be something else. Jinchuriki are super-weapons, it's why I was given the seal."
"Naruto, I think you've been reading and learning too much Fuinjutsu! Ever since we left Konoha you've been reading those Namikaze books. I mean don't get me wrong, you are good, I mean damn good at Fuinjutsu. It's just… having a Biju (Tailed-demonic beast) sealed inside you doesn't control your destiny," Ayame saw the hopelessness and terror in Naruto's eyes. She hadn't seen that look in months, which startled her and made her exclaim, "What's wrong?"
"I didn't ask for this!" Naruto shouted with his eyes emblazoned with pain. "They'll throw me into the center of combat. Ayame, I lose control after only two tails… Jiraiya's been teaching me Release Fuinjutsu Theory. Koga Namikaze describes it as transforming a human into a weapon of mass destruction!"
"You are still a human being!"
"When I lose myself to the fox, I destroy everything around me. I wouldn't call myself human when I lose control like that. Ayame, my duty as a shinobi is to fight for our homeland, it's what I signed up for. Jinchuriki have only one purpose and that's to destroy everything around them! I know the tactics. We have the power if trained well to destroy entire nations! I'm supposed to fight even if I don't want to. If Konoha went to war, we both know that I'm going to the front lines."
"Naruto, don't you worry about a thing," Ayame said soothingly while rubbing Naruto's whisker-marked cheeks. "Konoha will have to go through me before they take you away. I promise that I won't let my handsome fox go alone!"
"Ayame… I'm sorry about saying all that. Ever since we've been together, I've thought about my place in the world. The little bit of happiness I have comes from you. You are my world. I'd do anything for you and if something happened to you again..."
"Naruto, you don't ever have to apologize to me," Ayame said with a bright smile. "I love you no matter what! I love you because you are the sweetest, most thoughtful, and handsome man in the world. I couldn't have asked for a better man in my life."
They both hugged each other before continuing their journey through the dark, misty, and mysterious Rafka Rainforest.
Hours later they had only traversed twelve kilometers towards the burning indigenous fires. The basaltic stone steps turned into an eroded trail six kilometers back. Ayame's heavy waterproof boots splashed in the crystal-clear waters of the Rafka watershed. It was raining very lightly and both Naruto and Ayame donned camouflaged colored ponchos. Even with all the rain splattering the Rafka River and turning the steep treacherous terrain into mud pockets. They could smell burned leaves and vegetation. The smoke kept getting thicker in the air. Whatever was going on, it made both Naruto and Ayame unsheathe their machetes in anticipation.
Water clattered from leaves high in the trees down to the muddy ground. It clattered against their ponchos while the sounds of thunder rumbled deep in the jungle. Ayame followed Naruto who was leading them up a broken basaltic trail. Thunder clapped in the dark grey clouds. Wind tore through trees causing the sweet singsong of tropical birds to end. Their muddy boots crunched against gravel as they both saw a large grey granite-stoned wall fifty meters ahead in their intended direction.
A loud mind-numbing explosion rocked the forest floor straight ahead. Trees cracked and tumbled ahead. Chunks of black and brown earth erupted in the air. More smoky haze filled the jungle when the aftershock died down. Ayame instinctively held Naruto's waist back with her left arm.
"Something is not right. Naruto-kun, maybe we should go another way," Ayame asserted as quietly as possible. "We don't have chakra, and the last thing I wanna see is you hurt."
"Don't worry, us not having any chakra makes us harder to detect. Let's get a closer look, we'll just see what's going on and then flee. If we see anything that looks off, we'll just head straight to Sansha and be done with this survival exercise!" Naruto explained while looking at the ancient stone wall straight ahead.
People were shouting past the wall. Ayame held Naruto's belly tighter, she thought back to the Hokage Monument. Flashes of memory soared through her psyche causing Ayame to grit her teeth. She smelled Naruto's sweaty hair and sighed, before saying, "I have a bad feeling about this. Let's just get in and out."
"In and out," Naruto repeated while turning around. They both exchanged a silent nod and made their way through the jungle.
Ayame and Naruto moved silently toward the ancient stone wall. The stones were stacked one on top of another by hand eons ago. It was covered in moss and vines. Naruto peered over the stone wall and gasped, Ayame slowly raised her head and couldn't believe what she saw. In front of them was a large ancient temple, constructed with limestone with strange dragon statues made of pure obsidian standing guard up to the entrance.
Surrounding the temple were hundreds of very short and raggedy indigenous peoples. They had dark brown skin, their clothes were made of animal skins, and their hands and feet were callous. In their hands were bright burning torches and muddy shovels. Many of them were edging closer around the temple. The doors of the temple were blown open. Smoke and dust rose from the blasted doors. Naruto looked at Ayame and then back at the temple intrigued by whatever was happening.
The indigenous crowd surrounding the temple became excited. They started chanting and stomping their feet as five shinobi exited the ancient holy ruins. The shinobi wore Oto forehead protectors and were dressed in purple ponchos. Naruto gasped as he saw an ash-grey-haired man exiting the ruins. This man was wearing round, black-rimmed glasses.
"Kabuto," Naruto gasped, his eyes were wide.
Kabuto it was indeed, and he came out of the temple ruins with a happy smirk on his traitorous face. Kabuto Yakushi was a spy for Orochimaru and one of his most trusted associates. He was a master manipulator with how happy he was to befriend Naruto back during the Chunin exams. The chanting crowd of indigenous natives cheered as Oto shinobi came pulling long rectangular wooden containers. The Oto shinobi laid the containers out before the crowd.
"The tomb of the first peoples of the Elemental Nations. I must thank your people for showing me this amazing discovery," Kabuto said to the crowd. He smirked wider as he thought about what this meant. The human genome, the DNA of all humanity, all the missing links discovered would all be in Orochimaru's hands. Lord Orochimaru was obsessed with genetics. Why? Kabuto figured it had to do with Orochimaru's obsession over immortality, learning every jutsu, and knowing everything there was to know about humanity.
"Lord of the Sound," said the chieftain of the indigenous. He wore a jaguar headdress and stood in front of Kabuto. "In exchange for our peoples' bodies. We agreed that Oto will help us purge all Hi no Kuni (Land of Fire) shinobi from our lands. We have had enough of Hi no Kun raping our home!"
"That's exactly why I'm here," Kabuto said while opening one of the containers.
Naruto and Ayame exchanged a puzzled look as they saw Kabuto taking out a long wooden rifle. It looked odd with a weird bolt-action mechanism above the weapon trigger guard. The bolt-action rifle looked brand new and was handed to the chief.
"That there in your hands is what our overseas friends call a Mauser. It holds five 7x57mm rounds. Manufactured in Oto no Kuni (Land of Sound) this weapon will turn the tide of your insurgency against Hi no Kuni military conscripts here in Hono no Kuni! Lord Orochimaru knows your people aren't trained shinobi, he also knows your struggle against tyranny, colonialism, and against the five great shinobi nations. My associates will help you out with using them!" Kabuto explained with a wide grin.
The jungle erupted in a loud cheer, which made Naruto and Ayame turn cold.
Naruto and Ayame were bolting through the jungle. They hadn't said a word for several hours as they trekked their way through the thick and very wet vegetation. The fires from before had turned their part of the Rafka Rainforest into a terrible smoky haze. Mixed with the rain it made for a terrible combo as there was little visibility passed fifteen feet. Naruto's face was covered in sweat, and it glinted with rainwater as he stopped near the roaring waters of the great Rafka River.
"Naruto-kun, what the hell is going on?" Ayame asked as they came to the muddy black banks of the river. "That Kabuto guy was once a Konoha shinobi? I remember him coming to our ramen stand. He asked a lot of questions about you, but we said nothing except you were a loyal customer."
"That bastard Kabuto! He was all buddy-buddy with me during the Chunin Exams. Back then he acted like he was a Konoha shinobi, but it turned out he was Orochimaru's most loyal agent. He was responsible for giving Sasuke the curse mark, he betrayed Konoha during the Crush and he tried to kill Granny Tsunade." Naruto grunted out. He was exhausted and felt pain. Kabuto belittled his dream of one day becoming Hokage while stabbing him in his left hand with a kunai. He could feel the sting from the blade. It was among the many phantom pains that still affected him.
"I always knew he was a creep," Ayame stated while grabbing Naruto's left hand. "If a customer doesn't order ramen he can't be trusted."
Her honey-brown eyes gazed caringly at Naruto's frightened sapphire eyes. He smiled back at her, and his eyes became warm once again. A loud explosion from across the river shook them both back to reality.
"We should continue, the fires are getting worse, I know Hono no Kuni is a protectorate and an important colony of Hi no Kuni, but I think it's now a warzone!" Naruto said only to stop at the sound of another loud explosion going off.
The explosion sent a shockwave of bright yellow into the air from the other side of the Rafka River.
Giant lily pads floated in place on the river. Anacondas glided across the waters and even pink dolphins flipped out of the water. However, right across the river, they both watched in horror as they saw villages burning. Konoha shinobi were at work blasting fire jutsu at muddy shacks. Men and women ran out of their homes screaming only to be cut down by kunai and shuriken.
So much fire engulfed the other side of the forest that it mesmerized them for several minutes. Ayame held Naruto as they watched what their nation was doing to the indigenous of Hono no Kuni. This was war! Right before him, he heard crackling embers, he saw people rolling on the ground covered in flames, and he could feel the warmth of the heat. Naruto's sapphire eyes were orange and black from the unrelenting fire.
Tree branches broke, muddy clomping footsteps and crunching leaves alerted the pair that hundreds of people were moving to their spot on the riverbank. Naruto pulled Ayame by the hand and they both ran along the muddy ground. Indigenous militiamen came out of the jungle holding their Mauser bolt-action rifles. The indigenous militiamen took position in the foliage of the jungle. Their rifles jutted out like spears from a phalanx.
Naruto and Ayame ran faster, but then they heard the loud boom of hundreds of rifles opening fire at the opposite side of the river. Bullets whizzed overhead in bright yellow bursts of lead.
Numerous Konoha shinobi were hit in the first volley. Naruto saw dozens of shinobi screaming as chunks of their flesh tore apart from high velocity bullets. Naruto pulled Ayame hard into the mud. Ayame yipped at the crash but remained silent as more bullets whizzed over their heads. They crawled in a prone position as the shinobi returned fire. The jungle to their left exploded from kunai strapped with explosive tags. Indigenous soldiers blew up into hundreds of pieces while others dropped dead from shock, but many of them continued firing from the cover of the jungle.
They crawled through the muddy riverbanks for half an hour. Gunshots, exploding tags, fire jutsu, and even screams flew over their heads. Naruto and Ayame didn't dare witness the carnage of the battle. They could only continue crawling for their lives. By the time they made it to cover away from the battlefield of the jungle, they were covered head to toe in mud.
Ayame was shaken by everything she and Naruto witnessed. Their own country was murdering the indigenous of the Rafka Rainforest, while Otogakure was supporting the indigenous insurgents. Something big was going on, but they continued. Into the darkness of night, through scattered thunderstorms, and even until the bright white moon shined above, they journeyed forward.
Dried mud cracked from Naruto's poncho as he rested on a moss-covered stone that jutted out of the ground. Ayame crashed into his arms completely exhausted. Her oval-shaped face was dirty with soot and sweat. She still looked like the most beautiful woman in the world to him. Ayame groaned as she fell to the ground.
"We must be close to Sansha," Naruto said between gasps for air. "We had to have marched over thirty kilometers nonstop and a third of that was through a damned warzone. Ero-sensei you bastard!"
"Let's make camp," Ayame said while holding her blonde-haired boyfriend.
They both washed up and made their single-person tent within fifteen minutes. They both wiped their bodies of mud, soot, and grime using the rainwater from the shrub's leaves. Naruto washed the water off with a dry towel he brought with him. Ayame was already inside their single-person tent. Naruto crawled inside and snuggled up against his lover.
"I'm sorry, I'm too tired to cook," Ayame said while throwing a blanket over them. "Wish our sensei gave us a bigger tent and a blanket that didn't leave us cold."
"Can't believe that pervert sent us through a warzone. He's made us sleep in this tiny thing every night for two weeks and ugh," Naruto said in frustration before wrapping his left arm around Ayame's back. "You think maybe he's been watching us?"
Ayame snuggled closer to Naruto. He was always warm like a furnace. However, their tent did get overheated due to the humid environment. She heard the buzzing of mosquitos and got up and grabbed a mosquito net out of her backpack. She threw the net around their bodies causing the mosquitos to stop buzzing around them.
"The single-person tent and the tracking seals he placed on us… highly likely. However, the only research material he's going to get is ugh," Ayame stopped speaking. Her face turned red as she remembered that night a week back by that roaring waterfall. Naruto spent so long licking and eating her out that they almost had sex…
"That bastard!" They shouted in unison.
Giggling could be heard outside their tent. Ayame angrily marched out of their tent wearing her soft white cotton nightgown. She heard more giggling and threw her sheathed machete at the noise. "OW!" Naruto watched from the open tent flap as a large mountain gorilla tumbled to the ground five meters from their tent. Ayame's turned on a bright yellow flashlight revealing none other than Jiraiya.
Jiraiya was a tall and well-built man in late adulthood with fair skin. He had waist-length, spiky white hair that he usually tied back into a ponytail, with two shoulder-length bangs framing his face. There were red lines under his eyes which extended further down his face like tears. His usual attire consisted of a short green shirt kimono and matching pants, under which he wore mesh armor that was visible at his wrists and ankles. His red wooden sandals were in the air, and he groaned out, "You both passed the survival exercise!"
"We what!" Ayame shouted while waving the flashlight beam in Jiraiya's eyes. Jiraiya hissed from the bright light, but that didn't stop Ayame from shouting, "You sent us out here on this survival exercise just to peep at us the whole time! Damn, pervert! Why didn't you tell us this rainforest was an active warzone?"
"I can explain," Jiraiya gasped while crouching up. He looked up at the pissed-off flashlight-wielding kunoichi in fear. "The reason why I wanted you both to do this with no chakra was to show what you two can accomplish without it. Shinobi have been killed by civilians poisoning their food or stabbing them in their sleep. Chakra isn't everything, and you both did a stellar job hunting and gathering food without it. The Rafka Rainforest is one of the most dangerous biomes on the planet so if you two could survive this jungle without any chakra for two weeks. Then I could move you two up to the advanced disciplines of spycraft."
Jiraiya performed the perfect imitation of a boy who got caught stealing cookies out of the cookie jar. He got up and noticed Naruto glaring at him from inside their single-person tent. Ayame growled and pointed at the toad sage, "That's one of the worst excuses I've heard for gathering more of your research!"
Everyone froze as loud hissing emanated throughout the jungle.
The loud spine-tingling hissing came from high up the trees above them. Ayame smirked upon hearing a wild ocelot on the hunt. Jiraiya shrugged his shoulders and turned his head away, "You two gather your stuff and hold my hands. There are wild and dangerous animals in this jungle."
"I'm looking at one right now," Ayame countered while glaring harder at Jiraiya. She reluctantly sighed and said, "Naruto-kun let's get out of this godforsaken jungle."
Naruto quickly got dressed and started getting their stuff packed. Ayame slipped on her clothes over her nightgown behind Naruto. She wasn't going to give her perverted sensei any more satisfaction from seeing her undressed. Naruto and Ayame were fully packed up and dressed in their muddy camouflaged military uniforms. Jiraiya released their seals preventing their chakra from being used and stood before his new students.
"You both deserve to know the truth. Hono no Kuni (Land of Flames) has been at war for almost a decade, yet this entire nation is incredibly strategic for Hi no Kuni geographically and economically. If our nation is to remain the dominant military power in the Elemental Nations then we must hold onto Hono no Kuni," Jiraiya explained sternly. He noticed the confusion on both his students' faces and decided to elaborate. "This country is Hi no Kuni's main source for sugar cane, gold, silver, you name it we get it from here. However, the most important resource this nation produces is manpower. Hono no Kuni has been a protectorate and a puppet state for Hi no Kuni since the First Great Shinobi War. We get a quarter of our conscripts from cities like Sansha and Port Hiro."
"Ero-sensei, today we witnessed Konoha shinobi massacring the native people. Why?" Naruto asked, feeling conflicted. He wanted to do something. He could have put a stop to the violence, but he lacked access to his chakra. "What's going on here is a crime!"
"Naruto, you must understand… this is beyond my control. Beyond all our control. The insurgents in the Rafka Rainforest keep sabotaging the mines, plantations, hell they were responsible for a major terrorist attack that killed over four hundred people in Port Hiro four years back," Jiraiya said with his eyes closed. "Since then, the violence has only escalated. Sometimes I wonder if peace is even achievable."
"Peace?" Naruto repeated, he was now confused. "What we saw today was the exact opposite of peace. Ero-sensei do you believe in peace?"
"I dream for peace, but that's why it's only a dream," Jiraiya stopped talking for a minute. His students looked at their sensei worried. "You two should know there is beauty outside of battle. This jungle is a dangerous war-torn place, yet it's peaceful… come let's go home and rest."
Otogakure
The newspaper before Lord Orochimaru's eyes unsettled him. Konoha's New Hero Stopped Major Terrorist Attack! On the cover of the newspaper was none other than Naruto Uzumaki the Kyuubi jinchuriki who ruined his grand plan to heal his arms. Naruto was nothing more than an idiotic and talentless brat or so Kabuto said. It made him frown and snarl that a boy who failed the genin exam three times could achieve such fame. Was he wrong?
He read through the newspaper again and again. What unsettled the Snake Sannin was the fact that a terrorist attack transpired in Konoha without him being aware. However, the truth was laid before his eyes in hard print. "Maybe the Kyuubi could be a good host," Orochimaru said aloud to himself. He was alone in his private quarters. It made him think about the future. Sasuke Uchiha would die in about two and a half years, which meant he'd need a new host.
"The more I look at you Kyuubi Jinchuriki, the more I like what I'm seeing," Orochimaru mused to himself. His long purple snakelike tongue slithered out of his mouth over Naruto's face on the newspaper. "Thirteen years old and you killed two Jonin and three Chunin-level shinobi. I can taste the potential."
He looked at a mirror on his desk and smirked. He had very pale skin, golden eyes with slit pupils, purple markings around his eyes and fang-like teeth. He rubbed his pronounced cheekbones and brushed his straight waist-length hair out of his face. Naruto had blonde hair and sapphire eyes. The boy was handsome and would make a delectable new body when the time was right, yet it made him ponder.
"Uzumaki, Uzumaki, no, that boy doesn't look like a true Uzumaki," Orochimaru said in frustration. "Uzumaki's have red hair, yet Naruto looks more like someone I knew. Hmm, could it be he's the child of another clan?"
Was Konoha hiding something?
The door to his private quarters opened. In walked none other than Sasuke Uchiha. Sasuke's black eyes shined with fury. Orochimaru tilted his head curiously at the intrusion and looked at his soon-to-be host. Sasuke has spiky black hair with a blue tint that looked like a duck's ass. His hair was long and hung over his face as bangs and he was dressed in a plain white kimono with a purple cordlike belt tied to his waist.
"What is wrong Sasuke?" Orochimaru asked curiously. Sasuke pulled out a newspaper from his kimono, which made Orochimaru frown. "Appears you found out."
"Why did no one tell me he got on the front page of the Konoha Sun?" Sasuke said in disbelief. "I almost killed him and not even a fortnight after our fight he becomes a hero."
"Sasuke-kun, you are my most talented student. You have already surpassed some of my elite soldiers. What troubles you over this news," Orochimaru said with a wide devilish smirk. "Could it be jealousy?"
"Naruto was nothing more than a fool. We were once friends and teammates. He was always weak, but now…" Sasuke stopped talking and clenched his teeth.
"What is Naruto Uzumaki to you?"
"He's nothing to me!"
"Your hatred deceives you. He is the Kyuubi Jinchuriki after all. He's strong and I feel like there's more to the dead last than I thought," Orochimaru chuckled as he saw his student seething before him. His long snakelike tongue slithered over his lips before he said, "Sasuke-kun, you know that I'm building a large and professional army. It will take many years until we have the technology to unleash the might of Oto against Konoha. One thing Oto no Kuni (Land of Sound) lacks is a jinchuriki."
Sasuke's eyes widened. He rubbed his curse mark while looking down at his feet. He looked back up at his new master and thought about what Lord Orochimaru was saying. Was Orochimaru planning on giving Naruto a curse mark? As much as he hated Naruto and wished to kill him. It made him freeze thinking about Naruto sharing his fate. Killing his best friend would be a mercy!
"You want Naruto! But, but he's… he's mine to kill! Naruto might be Jiraiya of the Sannin's student, but even with the Kyuubi sealed in his gut. He was defeated by me!"
"It begs the question. My former teammate is almost as powerful as I am. Jiraiya is a perverted fool, but he wouldn't waste his time on the Kyuubi jinchuriki unless… could it be that Naruto Uzumaki is more special than we thought. You fought alongside him. You told me a few months back that he's not to be underestimated," Orochimaru said sadistically. The more he thought about it the more perfect the plan would be to take Konoha's only jinchuriki for himself. He could tell Sasuke was conflicted by this plan, but Sasuke had no say over the inevitable. "My decision to bring Naruto into our fold isn't final. However, would you work alongside him if I decided to make him my weapon? He'll be a slave to Oto, the strongest weapon at our disposal and your sharingan could be used to control him."
"You can try and give him the curse mark, but I know Naruto. He isn't a slave to anyone," Sasuke admitted. He remembered how Naruto showed zero respect to anyone even the Third Hokage before his untimely death. "However, Naruto suffering as a slave for the rest of his life is tempting."
"Good, I like how you're more on board with this plan. This is why I chose you as my apprentice." Orochimaru laughed maniacally as he watched his star student smiling. The plan was now onboard. "With the Kyuubi in our hands, Konoha will fall!"
Sansha
Naruto was rereading a passage from The Wind Clan by Koga Namikaze. He was in a large and busy café a few blocks from their hotel room in the heart of Sansha. Jiraiya was busy flirting with the hostess, who was doing a wonderful job at getting his sensei to order more dishes. Naruto sighed and went back to reading his book.
Smoke jutsu was created by my family before the First Great Shinobi War. Technically smoke is earth and water burning in the air. A mix between earth, wind, water, and fire. Some people may think smoke isn't deadly, it's just vapor in the air. Smoke can hide your chakra from being noticed by sensors, it can poison your opponents, and it can hide your actions while blistering, suffocating, burning, and even chemically altering your opponent. I was deadly at both Wind and Fire jutsu. I learned the Namikaze clan specialized in turning the air into fire. The idea of one day using Fusion Fuinjutsu to power up the planet. This was all my legacy from my ancestors who gave their lives to Hi no Kuni for no recognition.
I Koga Namikaze, lost my entire clan during the First Shinobi War. My clan went bankrupt during the war paying for so many funerals, we weren't paid compensation for our duty to Konoha, and many members of my clan owed gambling debts. At the age of five all my elders went into battle, and none came back. Everything was taken from me by the banks, the war, and by the First Hokage. One hundred and Five Namikazes gave their lives during that war. I was the unfortunate one who was too young to enter service, but because of that, I was the only one to survive.
My son Minato never understood everything our family sacrificed for Hi no Kuni, but my oldest and wisest son did. Kazuhiro Namikaze as of the time I'm writing this book left Hi no Kuni for Kaze no Kuni (Land of Wind). Where he is now, I'm not so sure, but he was the only child of mine who listened and understood sacrifice. My youngest son Haruto died during the Third Great Shinobi War. He never did anything wrong and was my everlasting joy. The youngest of my children Suki left Hi no Kuni. She wanted to get away from war and the shinobi lifestyle, however, she ended up designing weapons for Kiri.
The worst thing a man can do is sacrifice his time for things that matter little in the long run. Time is the inevitable thing that binds us to this Earth. Eventually, we all grow old and die. As an old man looking back at his children and where they ended up you may think I was a bad father. I did everything for my children. I gave them a life I never had. They were fed every day, they had a good home with a loving mother, and I gave them whatever they wanted. My wife is dead, and my son Minato is now a hero of the Third Great Shinobi War. If you run into someone you love don't let them, go, because it will be too late.
Jiraiya whistled above him. He had two plastic bags filled with food in both hands. Naruto closed his book The Wind Clan and got up. Jiraiya smirked at his fourteen-year-old student and said, "Happy birthday Naruto! You learned the secret to the shadow clone jutsu today and soon you and your girlfriend will be having a feast on my dime!"
"Ero-sensei, because of that stunt you made me pull earlier while Ayame was changing. I doubt she's going to be happy," Naruto said while taking the largest plastic bag filled with takeout.
"Relax! Besides, now you have the memory of Ayame Ichiraku naked for the rest of your life," Jiraiya said with blood dripping out of both his nostrils. "Think of it as part of your training."
"How the hell did you become Konoha's spymaster?"
"Okay, so the Queen of Oromo is a dark-skinned goddess from across the ocean. She had the world's second-best chest after Lady Tsunade. I was on a C-ranked mission to procure trading rights for Konoha and well," Jiraiya paused and started laughing. He opened the doors out of the restaurant and laughed harder in the street. Naruto looked at his perverted sensei in worry. Did he just open a can of worms that he didn't intend to open? "Long story short I snuck into her palace and was able to take pictures of her bathing naked."
"Why am I not surprised? You sure you don't have a Kekkei Genkai (Bloodline limit) for being a pervert and a creep?" Naruto asked with his eyes squinting.
"I thought about that," Jiraiya admitted while passing the busy limestone-paved streets of Shansha with Naruto. "Now back to the story because I must admit. That C-ranked mission was just a ruse."
"WHAT!"
"You wouldn't understand! Up to that point in time no one in the entire universe had ever gazed at her fully naked body. It was a secret S-ranked mission of the highest magnitude. Do you know why? Hiruzen Sarutobi our Third Hokage had a secret crush on her when he saved her kingdom from a Kiri invasion. I came back home with the pictures and the rest is history!" Jiraiya proclaimed with a perverse smile and giggle. "That's the story of how I became Spymaster of Konoha!"
Naruto's right eye twitched as he followed his sensei back to their hotel.
Tropical Sansha Hotel
Sunlight filtered through the white curtains of their hotel room on the sixth floor. Ayame pulled the curtains and exited the doors to her balcony. Their hotel was in the heart of the capital city of Hono no Kuni. Sansha was situated on a dormant volcano and because of that the entire city sloped from the bottom to the top of an ancient caldera. Mangos and oranges grew from tropical trees on every corner of the city. Thousands of people milled the busy streets, most of them shouting in languages she had never heard before. Strong men and women were pulling rickshaws down the paved roads, and even Konoha shinobi flew across the rooftops.
Architecturally the buildings were built of yellow limestone bricks with red tiled rooftops. Beautiful temples adorned with obsidian sculptures were constructed from Ayame's viewpoint. The smells of burning incense hovered in the air from those temples. Down the road from their hotel was the Governor's Mansion, it was a massive palace made of white stone done in a baroque style. It rose nine stories high with a green tiled rooftop. She smiled as she saw the oxidized green, bronze statue of Hashirama Senju standing vigil over the city. The statue was fifty feet high and was marvelous to gaze at.
She observed fifty Hi no Kuni Marines wearing brown slouch hats. They were marching down the streets with their Arisaka bolt-action rifle straps slung behind their shoulders. Shinobi never carried guns, but it was always concerning seeing firearms out in the open. So many soldiers were patrolling Sansha today it made Ayame nervous. She needed something to hold onto.
Ayame placed her hands on the railing of her balcony and took in the sights of the city. The air was humid, and her clothes stuck to her skin uncomfortably. Just spending twenty minutes outside of their air-conditioned hotel room was enough to make her sweat. How she survived two weeks in the Rafka Rainforest with Naruto still astounded her. Speaking of Naruto, he was with Jiraiya getting groceries. She couldn't believe how strong Naruto was. Yesterday he fully mastered three new smoke jutsu as Naruto called it.
Today was Naruto's birthday. He turned fourteen today, and Ayame planned a special treat for her loving, handsome, and powerful fox. When they completed their survival exercise three days back Naruto yet again spent all his time obsessing over Fuinjutsu and his Namikaze books. She taught Naruto many things these past few months such as manners, dressing like a gentleman, and even how to cook. However, as much as she encouraged him to read, his fascination with Fuinjutsu was turning into an unhealthy hobby.
For a birthday present, Jiraiya explained to Naruto the secret behind the shadow clone jutsu by coercing her handsome fox to peep at her while she was changing! She never minded changing in front of Naruto, but this was another one of Jiraiya's perverted antics when Naruto confessed the truth just a few hours back. Ayame threatened to burn Jiraiya's unfinished Icha-Icha Paradise sequel if he did that to her again, which prompted both men to leave to shop for groceries. The secret behind the shadow clone jutsu was simple, it allowed the user to gain the memories and experience of every shadow clone created once it was destroyed. Because Naruto could create thousands of clones, Ayame figured he'd eventually master every jutsu in existence if he used it wisely.
The door to their hotel room opened. Ayame went back inside and saw Naruto already covered in sweat with a large plastic bag filled with takeout food in his hands. He looked at Ayame with a wide foxy grin and said, "I'm back!"
"Good hunting! What did you bring back?" Ayame said, amused by Naruto's nervous shifting eyes.
Naruto was dressed in a similar outfit to the one he wore the night of his assassination except he wasn't wearing a windbreaker. She wore an elegant red satin dress that was very loose. She didn't bother wearing a bra and her outfit was loose enough for Naruto's birthday present. Her ruby red fox necklace that her mother gave her hung between the low-cut hem between her bosom, which was the focus of Naruto's sapphire eyes.
"Jiraiya got us fried plantains, BBQ brisket, gyoza, basmati rice, two extra-large takeout bowls of beef ramen, and something called crème brulee. Ero-sensei said it's good!" Naruto said while placing their takeout on their oaken night table.
"Sounds fancy."
"Ayame-chan, I need to apologize for what happened," Naruto admitted. He got onto his hands and knees and laid his head down in shame. He looked up and saw his girlfriend smiling on the swivel chair in front of the food. "I'm sorry for…"
"Naruto we already spent two weeks sleeping in a single-person tent in the middle of the most dangerous rainforest on the planet. I've already seen every square inch of my lovely fox's body and you've seen mine. I'm more upset with our sensei. Even though Jiraiya didn't see anything I hate how he's always playing mind games on us," Ayame admitted in frustration. "That pervert might be our sensei, but one of these days we're going to have to get payback on him!"
She motioned for Naruto to come to her. She turned on the radio on top of the oaken table as Naruto approached her. Soft local country music started playing. Ayame got up and hugged Naruto.
"Ayame, you ever feel like we are going down a path of no return?"
"What do you mean?"
"Ever since that night back in May, I keep thinking about what one of the assassins said to me," Naruto admitted. Ayame brought his head into her bosom and started slow dancing to the music. "She was a weapon just like me. She was used by her village and never had a chance at life."
"Did you kill her?"
Naruto nodded. He looked up into Ayame's eyes revealing pain and said, "I always knew eventually I'd have to kill someone but never so soon." There was a pit of doubt he held in him. He doubted the wrong things, because so often in the past he somehow defeated his opponents without murdering them. "Her name was Keiko, and she was my enemy. I was creeped out by her at first because she looked at me like a ghostly siren luring me to my death. Then I realized that was who she became, and I realized that she didn't want to kill me. She wanted me to kill her."
"Why did she want you to kill her so badly?" Ayame asked. She settled her butt on the bed and brought Naruto onto it too.
Naruto smelled Ayame's scent. She smelled like sweet ripening honey mangoes and vanilla. Calming scents mixed with her sweaty pheromones, which were driving him wild. He caressed her firm and heavy bosom and sighed contently. Ayame smiled and remained quiet. She held a strand of Naruto's golden yellow hair in her right hand and kissed the top of his head.
"Keiko had a terrible life. All she wanted was to be a good shinobi who fought for her nation. She had to kill her best friend to graduate from the academy. I think about her from time to time because I realize now how much we had in common. She was a weapon for her village just like me. I don't ever want to fall so low that I'm not the same Naruto you fell in love with," Naruto admitted before pulling his head up. "You mean the universe to me. You always encouraged me to not give up. I wouldn't be the man you see today without you."
"Naruto, I'm a shinobi because of you. I wanted to travel the world with you because all those days I worked from dawn to dusk. Just seeing your smile and hearing your laughter was enough to make me continue going."
Ayame kept rocking their bodies back and forth to the instrumental music playing over the radio. She pulled Naruto's head up and gave his lips a tender kiss. They rubbed their lips together to the music. Ayame sucked Naruto's thick lower lip into her mouth playfully. He took that as a cue to allow her tongue access between his lips.
Her tongue explored his oral cavity only to battle against his tongue. They moaned together as their wet tongues glided and danced to the harmony of soft guitar music playing in their room. Naruto started to rub Ayame's diamond-hard nipples through her tight and soft red dress. Her nipples grew longer and harder as their kiss deepened. Her tongue tasted of lemonade and was so soft against his.
Eventually, both lovers had to pull away for fresh air.
"Naruto-kun let's eat dinner," Ayame sultrily said.
They both feasted on their food. While it was delicious the takeout ramen wasn't on par with Ayame's cooking. However, she did take note of the spices in the broth. When it came to dessert, they fed their crème brulee to each other, which in Ayame's opinion was the best part of the meal. Placing their leftovers inside the fridge. Ayame smirked that Naruto wanted to go on a quick stroll around their hotel.
The sun was setting below the horizon as they walked hand in hand around the hot, humid, and busy sprawling streets of the capital city of Hono no Kuni (Land of Flames). Naruto led Ayame to a courtyard a block away that had marble statues of angels, cupids, and even lions. She noticed her loving fox kept his sapphire eyes level between her breasts. They were walking back around a waterfall fountain when Ayame asked, "Enjoying the view?"
She thrust her breasts closer to Naruto's face, which made him blush brighter than a tomato. He looked up and said, "I always love seeing you wear that necklace. I never asked this but where did you get it?"
"It was my mom's necklace. Her best friend gave it to her before she died. My dad held onto it until I told him I wanted to travel the world with you. I always wanted to meet my mom. Daddy told me she was beautiful and one of the strongest kunoichi he ever knew," Ayame said while rubbing her ruby fox necklace. "Let's go back to the hotel. It's time for your birthday present."
Lemon Start
Naruto placed four privacy seals on all four of the walls of their hotel room. He made sure to place an additional four sound seals as well. They could only be taken off by him and there was no chance of Jiraiya peeping on them if he ever dared. Ayame sprawled on her back on their king-sized bed. Her thick and long mane of brown hair was nestled around her oval head. She kicked off her black shinobi sandals revealing her bare porcelain feet with bright pink soles. She seductively flexed her arched feet in the air beckoning Naruto to get straight to the floor on his knees.
"Naruto-kun," Ayame said from the bed with crimson cheeks and eyes bleeding with lust. "You owe me one of your legendary foot massages."
Naruto crawled closer to her outstretched legs. Her feet, with high arches and elegantly outstretched toes, moved in the air with a dancer's grace. Her right foot hovered next to Naruto's face and he snatched it with his left hand. Her skin was as smooth and delicate as the petals of a rose. Each toe flexed and melted by his touch. He began to work his fingers against the joints, muscles, and bones of her toes. He rubbed, caressed, and worked his strong hands up and down the index of her foot down to her toenails. Ayame yipped when Naruto kissed her delicate pink soles, "Kyah! Oh, sweet Kami!"
He caressed, massaged, and slid his fingers and palms across both feet for ten minutes, before reaching for her ankles and getting to work on them. Naruto slid his hands up her calves working his strong fingers up her legs until the heels of her feet rested against his shoulders. She was melting beneath his hands as he worked his way up her thick thighs.
"Oh god, Naruto! You were blessed with good hands! Agh, goddamn! Very damn good hands!" Ayame moaned out as she slid her hands under the shoulder straps of her red dress. She peeled off the top of her red satin dress, freeing her large firm breasts. "Naruto-Kun! They're yours and yours alone! Get up here!"
That was all the encouragement he needed to gently straddle his body on top of hers. Naruto looked at the large juicy firm mounds of her bosom. They wobbled slightly up and down with her every heaving breath. Her areolas were like large pink disks surrounding the red diamond hard and bumpy nipples. Naruto's mouth was watering just looking at them. He pinched her elongated nipples between his fingers which made Ayame yip.
"Kyah!"
Naruto rubbed his hands over her nipples and explored every inch of her breasts as he lowered his head to her left boob. It smelled of sweat and mangoes, but that didn't stop him from opening his mouth to roll his bright red tongue around the alluring nipple that kept taunting him to lick and suck it! So, he did. Ayame twisted her head from side to side as she felt Naruto licking her nipples and areolas. Naruto loved the taste and feel of her warm nipples inside of his mouth.
"Lick them harder and don't stop. Don't fucking stop!" Ayame screamed as she succumbed to the waves of pleasure engulfing her spirit. She shuddered and offered her other tit for Naruto who greedily sucked her right erect nipple in his mouth. "Keep licking and sucking them! Suck them, suck them, suck my big juicy tits!"
Naruto felt his cock straining uncomfortably against his black trousers. He kept sucking and nibbling her fully erect nipples. He wanted so badly to fuck Ayame, but he wasn't stupid. She wasn't on birth control and Hono no Kuni was one of those nations that outlawed it. Ayame screamed as she felt Naruto sliding his left hand down to her panties. He slowly rubbed his thumb and index finger in circles around her steaming and throbbing clitoris.
"You are a naughty, naughty, little fox!" Ayame screamed as Naruto increased his ministrations.
Ayame screamed out as her tingling wet pussy slit erupted. She slammed her head back into their bed and her body shook from contractions. Naruto brought her off to a nice, elegant orgasm, but today was still his birthday. She pushed her young lover off his body, so he fell on his back next to hers. Ayame took off her red dress and approached Naruto naked save for her soaked panties.
"Ayame-chan, what's going on?"
"You're about to receive your birthday present my fox!" Ayame said with a wide smile. Her breasts had a shining layer of sticky saliva. "Just sit back and let me take care of everything!"
Naruto felt Ayame's hands unfastening his leather belt keeping his trousers in place. She grabbed his pants and underwear with a lot of force and dragged both down. He gulped and had a bright crimson face. Her breasts shined so brightly in the light of the room that it made his warm and thick cock harden fully. His cockhead slipped out of his foreskin and his heart started to beat faster. She was drop-dead gorgeous. She was his vixen after all, but now she was going to serve him an Ichiraku Special that would never be found on the menu.
Wasting not even a second, she mashed her wet saliva-soaked breasts between Naruto's large hot cock. Even though her tits were almost an E-cup three inches and his cockhead stuck out of her warm wet mounds of pleasure. Naruto moaned and threw his head back in rapture. All he could say as she increased the friction of her breasts sliding up and down his cock was, "Goddamn this is the best birthday I've ever had!"
She noticed tears in his eyes but continued sliding her breasts up and down his cock. She kept her breasts still at the root of his thick member before sucking his cockhead and the rest of his cock shaft in her mouth. Her head bobbed up and down in perfect tempo with Naruto trying to thrust all he could inside of her oral cavity. His pelvis was jumping off the bed and Ayame's coiling tongue wrapped and swirled around his cockhead. She partially opened his penis slit with her hot gooey tongue to suck out whatever pre-cum was leaking.
Naruto never wanted the waves of pleasure coming from his cock to stop. He felt like this was heaven. It didn't take long for Naruto to feel his nuts preparing a large load of cum for his lover. His cock grew thicker and more pre-cum leaked out of his penis slit.
"Don't stop! Don't fucking stop!" Naruto shouted as he felt Ayame grinding her pussy against his ankle.
Ayame moaned and hummed as she sucked her fox for everything that he was worth. To her, Naruto was worth more than the universe and then some. Hearing Naruto's moans and his gasps of pleasure made her double her efforts to get him off. Her panties were soaked, and her breasts made loud squashy noises as she rubbed her tits up and down against him.
Naruto moaned, he then shouted, "Ayame-chan I'm cumming!"
Ayame swallowed and moaned as streams of pure white semen flooded her mouth. She kept sucking spurt after erupting spurt down her throat like she was funneling a beer after work. Except in this case, it was like funneling two thick salty, and very tasty beers all at once. By the time Naruto's cock was deflated back to normal, her bright red lips and her juicy tits were covered in his semen.
"Happy birthday!"
