Moving Up
7 Years After the War
Konoha; Naruto's Home
Morning arrived for the person in bed, and instead of a blonde, kill-me orange outfit and goofy shinobi, it was a 25 year old half-naked woman with short black hair, her legs spread out on a body pillow with her arms wrapped around it.
This woman was Kurotsuchi of Iwa. Granddaughter of the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki, and girlfriend of the hero of the Shinobi World, Naruto Uzumaki.
She heard of Naruto from Ōnoki, and hearing that he's the legacy of the 4th Hokage and host of the strongest-tailed beast, she was curious about how strong he was.
The son of the 4th Hokage against the granddaughter of the Tsuchikage? How interesting would that be, but then that orange mask bastard had to threaten the world.
Then she finally met Naruto in person, and by his appearance and demeanor, she thought he was just some weakling and the man who claimed to be Madara really overestimating his targets.
Last time she'll ever underestimate someone by their appearance.
He was actually an okay guy, he saved her and Akatsuchi from the kirinin and convinced her and Ganryū to not go on a path of vengeance and continue an endless bloodshed, and when she found out she had to watch after him and the eight tails jinchuuriki, she was kind of happy.
The two got into a decent conversation and started to bond, and that's where their friendship started.
She found out about his crush on his teammate and thought it was sweet, until she witnessed how she treated him and let a criminal into her life, despite him nearly helping the Akatsuki.
It took her a while to let go of his past actions, but Sakura was not off the hook. Kurotsuchi despises girls like her; she sees Sakura as a weak woman, rejects boys who actually loves her, and only goes for the bad boys who don't give a damn about her. Out of all the boys in the village, just one makes her pants wet, just one she wants to open her legs too and have kids with, damn what he did at the Kage Summit.
After three years, and the first time in years, she was falling for Naruto, she confessed to Naruto, and the two started dating, disappointing his thirsty fangirls and the Hyūga Heiress, which she felt sorry for and later made peace with.
Life was good for her, and she couldn't ask for a better lover and fuck buddy.
Kurotsuchi squinted her eyes and covered the sun from her face, the only thing she hates about waking up in the morning.
She opened her eyes slowly, revealing her pink irises, hoping to find her boyfriend next to her, still sound asleep. However, to her annoyance, she sees a body pillow in his place.
Kurotsuchi mushed her face towards the pillow and grunted. This was starting to get annoying; he was always leaving early for his Hokage-in-training duties. As much as she supported him in his dreams, she just hoped this wouldn't become a permanent routine. Hanging out, going on dates, making love, and on random days, he's off being the Hokage trainee.
But she couldn't complain; it's not like he's cheating. Besides, she got something to take care of as well, and she doesn't want him to know yet.
Kurotsuchi let out another muffled groan. 'Alright, time to get up.' She thought.
She gets up, puts on a tank top and heads to the kitchen.
The sound of sizzling and the enticing aroma of freshly brewed coffee and sizzling bacon and eggs filled the kitchen.
Kurotsuchi used to be a horrible cook. Well she was new; she always trains with the intention of surpassing her gramps and taking that Tsuchikage title, something she gave up on a long time ago. She just sticks with microwaveable food or her dad's cooking; she had no intention of settling down and enjoying life with that special someone who's actually okay with dating tomboys.
She took lessons from her friends who are now married and have children of their own, now she was getting the hang of it.
"You're home early." Said Kurotsuchi after hearing the familiar sound of the famous kunai, one that means hell for Iwa.
"Yeah I… got a mission… outside the village." Naruto said nervously.
Seconds of silence passed, and Naruto waited for her annoyed response. He knew she was tired of the 'Hokage-in-training' routine and spending less time together. Eventually, she'll snap and rip Kakashi-sensei (maybe him as well) a new one.
"Alright." Kurotsuchi said calmly, not facing him.
Naruto was confused. She didn't sound frustrated. "What?" He asked.
"It's fine, I'm used to this routine of ours." She said.
Naruto looked down. He hates this routine of theirs as well, not just because he spends less time with Kurotsuchi, but it also makes him feel like an asshole. They both wanted to become Kages in their own villages, but Kurotsuchi gave up on that just to be with him, and he still continued to reach for that title even after he got what he wanted. Everyone sees him for who he is and not as the demon brat, he brought Sasuke back, and has a loyal girlfriend who loves him back.
After all, what more could he gain from becoming Hokage when his initial reason for wanting to become Hokage has already been achieved before he even attained the position?
She flinched when she felt Naruto's hand snaked around her waist and pressed his body against her back. "Things will be different." He said then kissed her shoulder.
"How different?" She asked, now curious.
"If you want me to… I could let go of that pointless goal of mine." Said Naruto.
Kurotsuchi turned to him. "What?" Now she was confused.
"I got everything I wanted, so I have no reason to continue pursuing my childhood goals. Besides, it's unfair for you to give up on yours for me, and I'm still aiming for mine, kinda makes me look like a possessive boyfriend." He said with a chuckle.
Kurotsuchi didn't know what to say. As much as she loved him, a small, tiny part of her resented him. Honestly, she didn't care that much about becoming Tsuchikage, nor did she actually want him to let go of that dream. Maybe it's just the feeling of letting go of something she had wanted to do since she was a child and seeing someone else pursue the same goal and potentially succeed made her feel envious.
"You'd do that?" She asked.
He planted another kiss on her shoulder. "Yeah."
Kurotsuchi slowly smiled. "Thanks." She said.
She turned to face him, put one arm around his neck, drew his face in close to hers and kissed him.
The two break apart and Naruto steps back, leaning on the table. "So, what's cooking?" He asked.
"Bacon and eggs, just a simple egg sandwich. Your coffee is over there." She pointed at the coffee pot.
"Sounds delicious." He said then looked at her backside.
He took a moment to admire her from behind, appreciating the way her pink tank top hugged her curves and the way her black lace panties hugged her backside. His gaze then moved lower, to her posterior. While it may not have been as voluptuous as some of the other women he had encountered, he found it just as alluring and tempting, having the desire to give it a playful smack and take her to the bedroom, leaving her skin and the sheets marked with white and having her unable to walk for the rest of the day.
Kurotsuchi could already feel the hungry gaze from her boyfriend's eyes and slowly shakes her head.
"When are you leaving?" Kurotsuchi asked.
"An Hour and a half." He said.
The sizzling stopped and Kurotsuchi turned the stove off. She turned to Naruto, giving off the same energy he's giving, and a slow smile crept across his face.
An Hour Later
The couple now lies on their bed naked, sweating, panting, and their clothes spread out on the floor.
Kurotsuchi lies on top of Naruto, her disheveled hair brushing against his neck and her hand on his sweaty pecs.
Naruto wraps his arms around her sweaty back, embracing her, and she embraces him back. They let go of each other and Kurotsuchi leaned on the other side of the bed, looking at the ceiling, pure bliss showing on her face.
"I… needed… that… quickie." Naruto said between pants.
Granted, they always have a quickie before going on missions and make some excuse why they're late, knowing their teammates won't believe a damn thing, especially when Kiba and Akamaru are on the team.
Kurotsuchi placed her hand over her stomach, feeling a warm sensation in her womb, then a slight sadness appeared on her face. "So, how long you'll be gone?" She asked, not looking at him.
"I guess almost a week and a half." He said, earning an annoyed grunt from her. "It's an investigation mission in… Kin… no Kuni."
Kurotsuchi lifts up her head and turns to him with an outraged expression. "What?"
"Kin no Kuni, the Land of…" She cuts him off.
"I heard you, I just wanna know why that village of all villages."
"You've been there?" He asked.
"Been there? It's right next to my village. That village is full of scammers and con artists. Don't be all nice to them, they could take advantage of that." She said crossing her arms.
"Got it." He said.
Kurotsuchi rose up and stretched. "Now I need a shower." She said and heads to the bathroom, Naruto looking at her backside as she leaves.
Naruto makes a foxy grin and follows her.
Since her clothes was already off, she just hops in and turns the water on, letting out a small sigh of relief as she felt the warm water caressed her skin.
Along with two hands on her shoulders. "Of course you would follow me." She said without looking at him.
Naruto chuckled. "Well I need a shower too, might as well take one together. I am on the clock anyway."
Kurotsuchi slowly shakes her head. Like he gives a damn if he was late. "Whatever. Get my back since you're right there." She said.
"Anything for you." He said. Both his hands traced her sides, from the side of her bosom down to her curves, his thumbs pressing against her spine, making her let out a sigh of pleasure.
Naruto then brushed his lips against her ear. "I don't think my teammate would mind if I'm late again." Said Naruto, his lower area pressing against Kurotsuchi's rear.
Several Minutes Later
Konoha Gates
Standing near the gate was a fair-skinned woman with blue hair in a spiky ponytail and a green kimono.
She was leaning on a pole, tapping her shoulder with a visible annoyed expression on her face.
"Guren!" Shouted Naruto, running towards the gate.
The woman, now named Guren, crossed her arms. "I've been waiting for 30 minutes!" She shouted.
Naruto rubs his head sheepishly. "Sorry we… I mean me…"
"You know what, I don't wanna know." She said. "It's just good to see you." They both hugged each other tightly.
"It's good to see you too. How's Yūkimaru?" He asked.
"He's fine. So, did she believe you?" Guren asked.
"Yeah, she bought it. Told her we're going to the Land of Gold."
"Of all places you could have said." She said shaking her head.
"I just got that out of my head, didn't even know that was a real village." He said.
"Whatever. Let's just go before anyone of your friends catches us." She said.
"Okay." Said Naruto.
The two immediately left, unaware they were seen by a certain blonde from a distance. "Is that Naruto with another girl?"
