Review Response
Majestic Yo-Kai Fauntleroy: Honestly you bring up a bunch of valid points. Was he confirmed asexual? I honestly never knew.
Ryu Wolf: Yes. Yes, I did. Normally I wouldn't say I like the idea of Asuma cheating on Kurenai, but then again, I like to ship Kurenai with Gai. But let's just say that he wasn't too keen to not hop into his student's bed when she offered.
Sniperbro1998: I wonder indeed.
Yami Luna Kitsune: You have to be more specific with Sakura. As fun as she is to write here, I haven't even really done much with her. At least as much as I want to. Although I'm going to have to pull one of my trump cards. Feed the Kitsune!
Krieger Techpreist: Believe it or not I did it this way BECAUSE no one ever really plays with the concept of Kushina-Tsunade relationships. Aside from Tsunade knows Kushina or Loves Kushina like her own daughter it's wash and repeat.
LordFyre94: I love it when people think they know what I'm going to do just because everyone does it. I'll tell you what one of my old bosses told me don't anticipate the bell, you'll just get it wrong.
Ryu Wolf: Huh? I'm confused about how there are two here. Oh well. Yes, jealousy is a powerful and hateful tool Also stop reading my notes!

Suffering pt 3
Location: Land of Fire
Place: Road to the Capital
Time: 1100
A group of five carriages wobbled down the road at a steady pace. Surrounding the carriage were Samurai and Shinobi. These Shinobi were all dressed in white formfitting outfits with armor over them. This armor however was special. Thanks to Spring Country's abundance of Chaka-infused and absorption metals, they were the only countries that could mass produce the Chakra Armor that had a high chance to repel ninjutsu of B-rank or lower. However, it was only available to Chunin and above as the chakra cost to maintain this feature was much higher than normal.
In the main carriage was the VIP of the entire mission. Yukie sat there looking out the window with a bored look on her face. Sure, she was supposed to remain dignified and aloft at all times, but it had already been four days of travel by boat and another two in these carriages. It was infuriating and boring, to say the least. Sure, she had her sword to practice with during rest stops and the Ninjas of Love books Vols 1-3 that Naruto had written, but that was all. Otherwise, she had nothing to do.
Or at least that would be the case if her girlfriend wasn't currently in the carriage to keep her company.
"Your mind is wandering to him again Yukie-chan. I can see it from here," came the teasing voice of her lover.
Yukie's eyes drifted over to her girlfriend and leader of the Shinobi of the Land of Springs. She was currently named the 1st Yukikage of the new Village Hidden in the Snow. Instead of there being one central village that she commanded, she commanded Five forts spread across the five regions and the shinobi Guard that attended to the palace's safety. Each fort had something called a 'Jonin Commander' in charge while the Yukikage was in the capital and acted as one of the Ministers and was part of the Army under the Supreme Commander who commanded the Samurai forces, The Shinobi, and the new Naval Force. Sure, it was only 15 ships each with only 100 men and women, but that gave them one of the most powerful navies in the entire Elemental Nation.
The young woman was in her mid-20s. She was quite tall, easily standing at 5'10", and was quite the beauty, not due to her legs, breasts, or ass, she was just regal. Long snow-white hair pulled into a high ponytail, angular face, her eyes were a brilliant icy blue. She wore a beautiful Miko-inspired getup with pull-on sleeves with the hakama being an ice blue instead of the traditional red. Next to her was a closed umbrella.
Yukie smiled at her lover. "Are you jealous of the fact that we are visiting my ex-lover and his village?" asked Yukie
Yoko sat back and crossed her arms over her chest. "Not really. I understand that you two have a history and that he is important to you. I would even say that I admire him for what he has done for our country and you personally Yukie-chan. However, I can't simply get over the fact that you two had a relationship, before my assessment as the Yukikage and your bed," said Yoko.
Yukie lightly laughed. "We could always share his bed for a night. I do miss Naruto-kun," said Yukie.
Yoko put a hand on her chin, before shaking her head. "I'll pass. Besides, you know I find the thought of men touching me unacceptable. If you wish to sleep with him please tell me so that I can make myself useful elsewhere," said Yoko.
Yukie smiled as she leaned forward and captured the younger woman's lips. Yoko returned the kiss with some fever. More attempting to dominate than to love. Yukie pulled back and placed her forehead against Yoko's. Yukie knew that despite her static tone of voice she was jealous of Naruto. Yukie had never met Naruto. He was already at least a month out of the country when she was chosen, but her attitude and the way she chose to protect the people during Dato's reign as the North Fortress Jonin Commander had gotten her the vote as Yukikage.
"You don't need to be jealous Yoko. I love you. Yes, I care for Naruto, but I won't seek to return to his bed.
"I'm your servant first and foremost Yukie-sama. If you seek his bed again, I won't stop you. It's something of an unwritten rule that sex during missions stays on those missions," said Yoko.
"Good thing I'm not on a mission and with my girlfriend. Besides I do love Naruto for another reason," said Yukie.
A yawn caught the two women off guard as they looked down at the subject of their conversation.
Yukie smiled down at the little boy who sat up and rubbed his eyes. At just a year and a half old he was already so big. The servants and maids loved him to death. His face was round, but his eyes came from her, his hair was an unusual red with some blue highlights and Yukie knew for a fact that this child was a byproduct of her and Naruto's coupling as he was the only man she had slept with around that time and this child had three whiskers like marks on each cheek, just like his father's. He was dressed in a simple blue kimono top and pants.
"Mama... you and Aunty Yoko woke me up," said the boy.
"I'm sorry Takato-chan. Aunty and I were just playing a game," said Yukie.
Takato smiled all traces of sleep leaving. "What kind of game!? Can I play?" asked the young boy now wide away.
Yoko smiled as she lifted the boy and put him on her lap. "Sorry Takato-sama, but it's a game only adults came to play, but we can play another game," as she raised her hand and created a small dragon of ice that floated around the carriage.
Yukie watched as her lover and son interacted and thought about what it would be like if he had a sibling. Perhaps a little sister. Well, Yoko already had plans to have at least one other child with the man she cared about.
Location: Konoha
Place: Hotel in the Red Light District
Time: 0450
Naruto opened his eyes and shot up in the bed that he was in. He gripped his head. A mild headache was there, and his mouth was dry. He knew what that meant. He had gotten drunk. No drunk was mild. He went on a fucking tear. At least 12 hours of drinking. It was hard for Naruto to get drunk. In fact, due to the combination of the Uzumaki High metabolism and Yasaka's chakra, it was nearly impossible for Naruto to get drunk. But Naruto used a combination of seals to suppress it all just so he could get drunk.
"I hope the headache was worth it asshole," grumbled Yasaka.
"What did I do?" asked Naruto.
"Ask the slut you fucked last night man whore," growled Yasaka severing their link harshly.
Naruto winced at the psychic backlash. He was unsure of what her problem was, but he would have to talk to her about it. Soon.
"Didn't think you were the type to get over drunk and fuck a random whore Naruto-kun. Glad I got to you before those other hussies did. Best fuck I've ever had. I'm glad I didn't use my Genjutsu on you," said the woman jesting at the waste basket that had several used condoms in it. All of them are full.
Naruto flooded his system with chakra cleared his headache and looked over to the window. It was still dark out, but the sky had a tint of purple, and pink to it. The single bedside lamp was on, and Naruto got a good look at the woman. She was around his age, not very tall but her body screamed civilian, but the headband around her neck said otherwise, brunette braided hair that reached the middle of her back, her eyes were brown, and her face wasn't that of a 10/10 beauty, but she could be considered pretty. Light brown eyes, wearing a simple bathrobe and a cigarette in her hands.
Naruto frowned at this woman. "Who are you and how do you know my name?" asked Naruto.
The young woman chuckled. "I know it's been a while and I only met you a few times outside of our first meeting, but I thought I left a lasting impression. After all, you were not the only demon in Konoha," said the young woman taking a drag of her smoke.
"Yakumo-chan?" asked Naruto in slight confusion.
Yakumo took her cigarette and stubbed it out as she blew the smoke out. "Right in one,"
"What happened? I thought that you and Kurenai-sensei were on good terms, same with your clan," said Naruto.
Yakumo shrugged. "You can't go through a lifetime of shit and not hold some type of anger. We're better, but I will never forgive them for keeping me locked away like some type of exotic bird. As for Yuhi-san. She and I will never be on the same page again considering she dumped my ass for the Hyuga girl all so she could feel better about herself and hopefully have a powerful apprentice," said Yakumo.
"What time is it?" asked Naruto hoping to move away from the topic of the Konoha 11.
"About 5 in the morning. You paid for the entire night so we have another 2 hours," said Yakumo.
"How wasted was I last night?" asked Naruto as he was never one to pay for sex.
"Pretty wasted. You fucked me into a coma, fucked me out of said coma, and with your last load you covered my chest and face with your spunk. I'm pretty sure one of the condoms broke with how hard you fucked me against the window. All in all, we had sex about 10 times. I had to use two boxes of condoms big guy," said a smirking Yakumo.
Naruto had no words for what happened and rose from the bed. He went to the bathroom and cut on the shower. Naruto took a quick shower before he came out dressed in a black shirt, and orange shorts.
"You're acting off casual considering how shy and withdrawn you used to act," said Naruto.
Yakumo smiled at Naruto. "Don't think too deeply on it. I'm just enjoying the life you bought me one day at a time. Besides you were my last client,"
"Last client?" asked Naruto worried about his friend. "Are you okay? Sick? Dying?"
"Nothing like that. The fact I've been able to work on myself and be a whore for about two years shows what you've done for me. When we first met the idea of being a whore never would have crossed my mind," said Yakumo.
"But why did you become a prostitute?" asked Naruto.
"I was past the minimum age for free enrollment in the academy and my clan wasn't going to pay out of pocket for it. So, I had to work my way through. And while there were quite a few jobs none paid quite as well or were as fun as having sex for money. Besides if you remember my Genjutsu makes people think things are real. Sure there have been a few people I slept with, but most people only get the illusion of having sex with Kurama Yakumo. Although I am quite picky about my partners. As fun as it was to be a whore for a bit, it's lost its appeal. I've passed the Genin exam and can fulfill my life's dream of being a kunoichi. And I mean the real genin exam. I passed with my teammates, Hyuga Hanabi and Inuzuka Shippo, and her ninja hound Ao. Starting next week I'll be a full-fledged Kunoichi," said Yakumo with a smile.
Naruto smiled. "Congratulations Yakumo-chan. Maybe we'll get to be on a few missions together," said Naruto.
"Thank you. I hope you'll become my squad leader one day. Hey Nartuo-kun I want to catch up with you for a bit," said Yakumo.
"Sure," said Naruto.
"Great. Say, I know that you probably don't remember last night, but how about a quickie," said Yakumo as she stood up and let the bathrobe fall to the ground.
Naruto looked at Yakumo's body, before walking up to her and pushing her into the wall and attacking her neck with bites and kisses.
Location: Konoha
Place: Hokage's tower Tsunade's Office
Time: 0900
The door to Tsunade's office opened. Walking through to the Hokage's desk Shizune looked at her master. Tsunade was drinking straight from a sake bottle instead of sipping out of a saucer-like she normally would. It also wasn't the expensive brand that Tsunade liked. No, it was a cheap off-brand kind that got you drunk fast. This was the stuff you drank to forget something.
This was a route Shizune knew all too well.
Without even thinking about it she walked over and snatched the bottle before dumping it in the trash. Tsunade looked nonplused by this and simply grabbed another that was in her desk drawer.
"Tsunade-sama why are you hitting the bottle so early in the morning!?" asked the Outraged young woman.
"You want to know something Shizune. Drinking is like forming a long-distance contract. Between you and the distiller. For the burning beautiful taste, he gets to fuck you up. All your emotions, regrets, and feelings slip away when you are drunk. It's a beautiful type of temporary oblivion," said Tsunade.
Shizune frowned. "This isn't the first time you've told me this. This was the same speech you gave me right before you officially took me as an apprentice. Right after dan died,"
"You know Kushina was supposed to marry Nawaki?" asked Tsunade.
"No... I didn't know that Tsunade-sama" said Shizune with a shocked look on her face.
"Yeah. It was part of an old contract between the Uzumaki and Senju clans. Every three Generations a female Uzumaki would marry a male Senju. The only reason it was written that way instead of every generation two members of the Senju and Uzumaki clans would wed is simply because Uzumaki had more females than males and vice-versa for the Senju. I think I was the first female born in two generations without outside help. More so to the point that it wasn't uncommon for males to form harems or even for unbounded Uzumaki to have common harems among those who were deemed unworthy to reproduce.
"Thats... disgustingly barbaric," said Shizune having no idea the Uzumaki were so dark.
"You think so? This practice was fairly common in the warring clan's era. Believe it or not, my grandfather and granduncle were only half siblings. Kina like how the Karama Clan locked away those who developed the secret demon branch of their family art? Or how the Hyuga brand their own to keep them in line? Oh here's one that you didn't know. Inuzuka don't marry, they just fuck whoever they think they can get away with. DO you know how many reports I get about that brat Inuzuka Kiba, but it all gets blown away under 'clan tradition!? I tell ya if it wasn't for Sochi-kun I would never have taken this damn job," said Tsunade.
"You're avoiding the original topic Tsunade-sama," said Shizune frost in her voice.
"You're right. I am. But only because I already lost my son. I don't want to lose my daughter as well," said Tsuande as she began to tear up.
"What are you talking about Tsunade-sama,"
Tsunade sighed and just opened up and told her everything she told Naruto. Not leaving out a single detail. The truth the whole truth. No half lies no falsehoods. Everything. At first Shizune didn't understand, but as she got deeper into the story she began to understand. Fury began to overtake the brunette. She could have helped rise Naruto as a proper little brother. Teach him how to be a gentleman and not a womanizing pervert like his godfather! He could have had people in his corner, supporting his dream! He could have grown to be a proper young man. Instead, Tsunade... Tsunade...
"TSUNADE!" Shizune roared!
Shizune saw red and without thinking about it without using her Kunoichi training, threw a punch that connected with Tsunade's left eye, and sent her sprawling to the ground! It was much stronger than normal as Shizune used a bit of Tsunade's super strength training to add a bit of force to the Before she could get any further in the assault two ANBU appeared and held kunai at Shizune's throat.
"Shizune-san. You are under arrest for the attempted assassination of Hokage-sama.
"WAIT!" yelled Tsunade getting up, her face already beginning to swell. "Release Shizune right this instant,"
"But Hoka-
"I SAID RELEASE HER!" yelled Tsunade.
The ANBU did as tell and stepped backward.
"For years I've followed you, made excuses for you. Even put my life on hold for you! But to know that you did that. You condemned Naruto-kun to a life of pain and suffering. To a life of hell... is unforgivable. I love you Tsunade-sama. You are my mother in all but blood, but I can't stand the sight of you at the moment. Effective immediately I resign as your assistant. I'll also be out of the manor by the end of the week," said Shizune turning to leave the room.
"ANBU leave me," said Tsunade as she felt the ANBU in the room vanish.
Tsunade rose to her feet and walked to her desk. She grabbed her sake bottle and looked at it for a moment before setting it down again.
"What a fucking mess," said Tsunade.
Location: Konoha
Place: Haruka's Dango Shop
Time: 1200
The Haruka Dango restaurant was Anko's hangout and safe haven. It was the Food of the gods, and no one could tell her otherwise! It wasn't Cinnamon buns or raman. Dango saved her life. It was the first food that Sarutobi-jiji took her to eat after she was let out of the Nest. And The old Lady who owned the joint gave it to her for free. Anko shrived thinking about her time in Konoha's black-site prison. She was kept in the minimum-security wing. The First Hall as it was called. That didn't mean that it wasn't a fight for her life every single day for the two months she was stuck there.
"Hey Old Lady, I need another batch!" yelled Anko.
"Such a rude brat! I should ban you for disrespecting the great Hakaru-sama!" yelled The matron of this establishment. A former Jonin Kunoichi and student of Koharu. one of the few people who saw Anko as a person and not the snake whore or Orochimaru's student.
Considering that she was actually from the Sannin's generation, was in the third Shinobi war and basically invented the dancing leaf sword style, it was hard to see her as anything other than Tsunade's former rival.
Of course, after the Kyubi attack she traded her sword for a cane and knife. She used her life savings as well as a loan from Koharu to get started here.
"Hai!" sarcastically said Anko.
Anko looked out of the booth and saw Naruto walking down the street. She smirked for a second.
"Yo Foxy-kun!" yelled Anko catching the attention of Anko.
Naruto looked at Anko. "Oh Anko-chan how's it going?" asked Naruto as he wandered over.
Anko smelled perfume on Naruto, and she noticed the hickys on his neck. And he was wondering from the redlight district. She wanted to say something, but Naruto wasn't her man to call out on such behavior... yet. Once he was hers, she would be all the woman he would ever need.
"So what are you doing?" asked Anko.
"Just wondering around a bit. I still need to draft that letter to Tazuna-san, but after the fight I had with Tsunade two nights... I'm not even sure where I stand at the moment," said Naruto joining Anko and taking a swig of her sake.
"Well did old flat chest do now?" asked Haruka.
Naruto frowned. "Flat chest?" asked Naruto.
"Trust me kid if you had seen her during our Genin days you'd understand. Hell she was as flat as a Haruno," said Haruka.
"Never mind that. Tell Anko-sama all about what Tsunade did," said the purple haired special Jonin.
And so he did. Naruto told Anko everything that happened. Anko frowned as she took a bite of her dango thinking about what Naruto had just told her. What many people forgot was that Anko once had a close connection to all the Sannin, especially Tsunade. Like most kids around the time of the third war Anko became a genin earlier then the age of 12 and her parents were already dead. She was a ward of the state. Like Namikaze Minato her 'Onii-san' she had been scouted by one of the three Sannin. Orochimaru . When he wasn't available to teach her she was sent to either Jiraiya or Tsunade.
She had begun to see them as family. Jiraiya as her Uncle, Hiruzen as her grandfather, and Shizune as her sister. But the two roles that were most important to her was Orochimaru who she thought of as a father and Tsunade who she idolized and even called her mother in private, behind the Sannin's back. She had even confided in Shizune that she wrote an entire fan fiction shipping Orochimaru and Tsunade and even pictured what it would be like if they adopted her. Of course, that was before Orochimaru and Anko defected the village.
Now adays she just wanted to slap the bad taste out of the stupid little girl she once was.
"I'm not going to tell you to forgive Tsunade-sama. Hell if it was me I'd never talk to her again," said Anko.
"I'm sensing a but coming on," said Naruto.
"You and me," started Anko as she pointed to Naruto and herself in a back-and-forth motion. "Are a lot alike. We were both hated for things beyond our control. We were both scouted by Sannin for training. If you want to get technical we're the second and third generation of Sannin respectively. However, we are also not alike. I've killed people, maimed people and drawn blood for shits and giggles and after I did it I slept like a fucking baby. You've killed, fought, and bled done it for the love of the village," said Anko.
Naruto chuckled. "Love? I don't think I've ever loved Konoha. Old Man Sarutobi was the leader of our village. I wanted to protect 'his' konoha. The Will of Fire that he always spoke of. The family that he said was Konoha. Maybe I was a naive kid, but I've come to have my own nindo. The things I want to protect. Konohamaru, Moegi-chan, Udon, Ayane-nee-san, Old Man Tenchi, Kakashi-sensei, Iruka-sensei, Shizune-chan, Gaia-chan and her family, the friends I've made. I want to protect them. I don't need to be the Hokage to protect them,"
"Oh and why is that? I thought that being the boss of the village was your dream," said Haruka.
It was a well-known fact that not only was Naruto a known troublemaker, able to slip Chunin, Jonin and even ANBU patrols, but he was also known for basically telling the entire village that he was going to be the Hokage. He had practilly been screaming it since he entered the academy.
Naruto shuck his head. "Jiraya kinda set me straight on that. Helped me figure out a lot about myself and my real dream and wants. Hokage was always a means to an end. Hokage was always a surface dream. My real dream was to have my own family. And now knowing that I have a clan. I have a reason to bring my family back. I'll do whatever it is that I can to being the Uzumaki clan back,"
"Oh Foxy-kun just you wait i'll pop out as many babies as you want. After about 3 years of you blowing my back out of course," thought Anko licking her lips.
Anko reached into her pocket to pay the bill, but Naruto had already slapped several bills.
"Hey this is to much!" yelled Haruka counting out the bills
Naruto smiled. "Consider it a gentleman paying for his date,"
Anko frowned. "Who said this was a date?"
Naruto just grinned at Anko before he vanished in a poof of smoke.
"That kid is smooth. Oi brat you better get him before another woman snags him up," said Hakaru smirking at Anko.
Anko grinned. "That's the plan Hakaru-san," taking her Dango and bitting it.
000000000000000000000000000000
And Cut. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. Another dark secret revealed about the connection between the Uzumaki and Senju clans. Honestly, I think it makes sense for Nawaki and Kushina to have been engaged. For one we don't have a clear picture of the Age Nawaki was when he did or the age gap between when Nawaki was born and when Tsunade was born. I might be playing a little loose with the timeline here, but I can safely say that in Naruto proper Tsunade was out of the village at least 12-15 years. She was in her early 50's so she had to leave Konoha between 30 and 35 years of age if my math is right. (I SUCK AT MATCH)
But yah call it playing a bit loose with the timeline here. Honestly, timelines are a pain in the ass to really nail down. For starters when Naruto was a baby Orochimaru wasn't a Rouge Ninja Orochimaru didn't become a Rouge Ninja until right before the Hyuga incident and Anko didn't come back to Konoha for at least a year. As revealed in the Anko was technically a missing Ninja when she followed her Sensei and at the time she was only a genin.
