Clans Unite
The room was cloaked in darkness, save for the soft moonlight that filtered through the window, casting pale silver lines across the bed. The deep, steady breaths of Karin and Tayuya filled the quiet space. Their bodies were nestled close against Naruto, their warmth comforting and familiar.
Naruto, lying on his back, felt the weight of sleep pulling him under. In the depths of his mind, a dream began to take shape—a sensation that was both vivid and all so real.
In his dream, he felt a gentle touch, delicate fingers tracing along his thighs. The sensation was feather-light, sending shivers up his spine. The touch moved higher, caressing the sensitive skin between his legs, the warmth of a breath teasing against him.
A soft, playful giggle echoed in his ear, an unmistakably familiar sound. Yet, in the haze of sleep, he couldn't quite place it. His mind was foggy, caught between the world of dreams and the reality of the bed he shared with his wives.
The figure in his dream crawled up the bed, her form still hidden in shadow. But there was no mistaking the feel of her soft lips pressing against his inner thigh, trailing kisses that set his blood on fire. He inhaled sharply, his body reacting instinctively to the touch, a low growl rumbling in his throat as his member grew to full length.
"Sakura…?" he murmured groggily, the name slipping from his lips before he could think. It made no sense, and yet, the feeling was so unmistakably her.
There was a soft, almost amused laugh in the darkness, followed by the unmistakable warmth of lips pressing against his inner thigh followed by a tongue leaving a long trail up his leg. The touch sent a shiver down his spine, a primal reaction that made him groan softly. "This… this isn't real…" he whispered to himself, eyes still closed, convinced he was dreaming.
But then, the wet heat of a tongue sliding along his length snapped him fully awake as the head of his large member was sucked into her warmth. His eyes flew open, confusion battling with desire as he looked down. In the faint moonlight, he could just make out a familiar head of pink hair bobbing between his legs.
"S-Sakura?!" he gasped, his voice barely above a whisper, not wanting to wake Karin or Tayuya. The realization hit him like a lightning bolt—this wasn't a dream. Sakura was really here, in his bed, doing things that made his thoughts scramble.
Her eyes flicked up to meet his, dark with lust, a wicked smile playing on her lips as she continued her slow, torturous movements. "God Naruto," she moaned, her voice a sultry whisper. "I need you so much." Going back to sucking him down he felt the pleasure filling his mind but also the unmistakeable pull on his chakra.
Naruto's mind was a whirlwind. He should stop her, push her away, anything—but the feel of her mouth around him, the heat, the softness, was driving him wild. For a moment, he was paralyzed, torn between the loyalty to his sleeping wives beside him and the overwhelming pleasure coursing through his veins.
"Sakura… what are you…?" he began, but a sharp intake of breath cut off his words as she sucked harder, sending waves of pleasure crashing through him until her lips reached his base taking him all in. His fists clenched the sheets, his mind racing.
The tension in the room was electric, the air thick with a mix of confusion, lust, and the dangerous thrill of being caught. Sakura's eyes sparkled with mischief as she continued her ministrations as if daring him to stop her, to make a choice even as she sucked not only his member but his chakra out of him.
As Sakura's tongue worked its magic, Naruto's willpower began to crumble. His breaths came out ragged, and he could feel the pounding of his heart in his ears. The room was filled with a mix of soft moans and the wet sounds of Sakura's lips moving against him. But then, a soft murmur from Karin, shifting slightly in her sleep, made him stiffen in place. The hot, steady breath of Tayuya against his neck sent another jolt through him, reminding him they weren't alone.
"Ngh… Sakura, stop," he whispered urgently, his voice a low, strained hiss. But Sakura only grinned up at him, her eyes glinting with mischief, doubling down on her efforts, making it clear she had no intention of stopping. Her mouth was relentless, teasing him to the brink, her pace increasing just as she felt him getting close.
But just as he was about to lose himself, Sakura pulled back, a wicked grin on her lips as she squeezed the base of his shaft, stopping him from reaching his climax. Naruto gasped at the sudden denial, his hips jerking in frustration.
"Not yet," she whispered huskily, straddling his hips in one smooth motion. Lifting her short nightgown, she positioned herself above him, teasing his tip at her entrance before slowly lowering herself down. Inch by tantalizing inch, she took him in, her walls squeezing him tightly until their hips finally met.
Naruto's head fell back with a groan, his fingers digging into the sheets as she began to move her hips circling in slow, deliberate motions. The sensation was driving him insane, her slick heat enveloping him completely, each roll of her hips sending sparks through his body. Her muscle control was second to none; whether it was due to skill or some genetic trait, he never bothered to ask.
Sakura's breath hitched, her eyes fluttering closed as she found her rhythm, chasing her own release. But as her movements became more frenzied, Naruto suddenly felt the bed shift beside him.
Tayuya's eyes fluttered open, taking in the scene with a sleepy smirk. "What the fuck?" she asked, her voice still thick with sleep. She propped herself up on one elbow, her eyes gleaming as she watched Sakura ride Naruto with slow circling movements.
Naruto's eyes shot open, looking over at Tayuya. "I-I thought…," he stammered, though his body betrayed him, bucking up into Sakura's slow grind.
Tayuya grinned, her eyes darkening with interest as she watched them. "Oh, I know, little Naruto can't say no," she purred, biting her lower lip as she watched Sakura's hips move in slow, tantalizing circles. "Don't stop," she teased, her voice dropping to a husky whisper as she reached up and tugged on one of Sakura's long, sensitive nipples through her silk gown.
Sakura glanced back at Tayuya, a wicked grin on her lips. "Don't worry, I wasn't planning to," she replied, increasing her pace, her soft moans growing louder as she rode Naruto harder.
The room filled with the sounds of skin against skin, heavy breathing, and the soft creaks of the bed as Sakura continued her rhythmic movements. Tayuya shifted closer, her hand pressing down on Naruto's chest, nails lightly grazing his skin. With a hungry look, she leaned in to kiss Sakura fiercely, swallowing her moans as the pink-haired woman moved closer to her climax.
Naruto was lost in the sensation, the combined attention of the two women pushing him to a place where he could hardly think. His hands gripped Sakura's hips, guiding her movements as Tayuya's lips and hands roamed Sakura's body, adding to the intensity of it all.
"Fuck, you two are going to be the death of me," Naruto groaned, his voice a mix of pleasure and desperation.
Feeling herself getting close, Sakura leaned forward, her breath hot against Naruto's neck. "Come with me," she gasped, her hips slamming down onto his with reckless abandon.
With a guttural moan, Naruto let himself go, his release crashing through him as Sakura followed suit, her body trembling against his as she cried out his name.
Tayuya watched with a satisfied grin, her fingers lazily tracing patterns on Sakura's ass as they tried to catch their breath. "Now that's how you do it," she said, her voice dripping with satisfaction.
"That's one way to calm him down," Karin remarked from the other side of the bed, her eyes glinting with amusement. She had been watching and waiting to see how it would unfold.
Sakura pushed herself up, her eyes gleaming with an internal glow. Her Nukekubi traits were on full display, skin shimmering with the residual glow of Naruto's chakra. "I'm not done yet," she declared, sliding off Naruto and revealing that he was still hard as a rock.
Tayuya moved over and pulled Sakura down dropping her to her knees, Tayuya's breath was shallow as she looked up at him, her body trembling with anticipation knowing what he was going to do to her pet Nukekubi. She didn't need to say anything the sight of Sakura's shapely ass in the air told him what needed to be done next.
Naruto's pulse quickened, and without hesitation, he moved forward, hands gripping Sakura's hips, pulling her closer to him. Tayuya's fingers tangled in Sakura's hair, forcing her head back with a sharp tug, exposing the pale curve of her neck. Naruto, his body moved with purpose, instinct guiding him as he positioned himself behind her.
The room was silent except for the sound of their breathing. Karin stayed still, watching, knowing better than to interrupt the storm brewing before her knowing that would be her if she was not 9 months pregnant.
Naruto's hand gripped Sakura's hips, steadying her as he slid deeply into her, the wet sound of their joining filling the air. The control was in the way he moved, the way he held her, each motion deliberate and full of purpose. He set the pace, a steady rhythm that pushed her to follow his lead. Sakura's breath hitched as his pace quickened, her back arching beneath him, the tension building with each push. Her head was still pulled back by Tayuya's fingers laced in her hair.
Sakura's fingers dug into the mattress, gasping for air, her body responding eagerly, though there was a hint of tension in her movements—an edge that only heightened the intensity. The rhythm between them became fluid, and seamless, with every thrust deepening the connection and pulling them both closer to the edge.
Tayuya's lips parted slightly, her eyes never leaving the scene. There was a sharp sense of satisfaction in her gaze, watching Naruto as he took the lead without question. Karin shifted, watching him with quiet amusement, but neither of them made a sound. They knew that this moment belonged to Naruto.
The pressure inside Naruto built, but he wasn't done. His movements became more forceful, the rhythm no longer a simple act of pleasure but a steady claim, asserting his presence with each thrust, each motion that pushed Sakura closer to the edge.
Sakura's body trembled against his, her cries soft yet full of desperate need, her fingers gripping the bed as if trying to hold on to something, anything, as the moment intensified. Her eyes closed, and for a brief moment, she surrendered fully, lost in the movement of his body as if she were simply a vessel for his desires.
As Sakura reached her climax, her body trembling with release, a moan escaping her lips, Tayuya moved in, closing the distance between them. She pulled Sakura into a deep, heated kiss, her lips capturing hers with fierce, unrelenting intensity. The kiss was wordless, but it conveyed everything—an undeniable force that mirrored the passion in the air. There was no need for words, only the pressure of Tayuya's body pressing against Sakura's, a silent assertion of her place in this moment, showing Sakura that it wasn't just Naruto who was in control.
"Fuck, that was good," Tayuya muttered, breaking the kiss and letting Sakura collapse onto the bed, her body still trembling from the intensity.
With Sakura sprawled out on the bed, Naruto sat back on his heels, taking a moment to observe his wives and the spent form of Sakura, the aftermath of their passion hanging in the air. The silence stretched for a moment, but it wasn't long before Karin moved.
Without a word, she shifted forward, her hands gently parting Sakura's legs before she moved closer to Naruto. She looked up at him, her eyes glinting with an unspoken invitation. The slow, deliberate motion of her tongue was first, gentle, and teasing as she began to clean him, her gaze never leaving his. Her gaze stayed locked on his, the moment stretched and charged, every flick of her tongue unhurried and intimate.
But then, her pace shifted. Karin leaned in deeper, her lips sealing around him as she took him fully into her mouth, her movements becoming more intense. The soft, wet sounds filled the room as she sucked harder, her enjoyment evident in the way she pressed closer, losing herself in the moment.
Karin's lips moved eagerly, taking him deeper with each motion, her eyes half-lidded with pleasure. But Naruto wasn't content to let her set the pace. His hand suddenly shot out, fingers tangling in her red hair as he gripped the back of her head.
With a low growl, he pushed her head down further, forcing her to take him fully. The intensity surged, his hips moving in short, powerful thrusts as he took control, using the rhythm to chase his own release.
Karin's eyes widened, but she didn't resist, her throat flexing as she took everything he gave. With a final, deep thrust, Naruto held her in place, his release spilling into her mouth. Her lips tightened around him, swallowing every drop, her eyes fluttering closed as she let him ride out his climax.
As Tayuya lay back, pulling Sakura close, she watched with a sharp grin. "Looks like he just reminded her who's in charge," she murmured, amusement in her tone, while she and Sakura kept their eyes on Karin.
Naruto's grip tightened in Karin's hair, holding her in place as he reached his peak, his release spilling down her throat. Karin's eyes fluttered, her body going still as she took it all in, unable to breathe she waited for him to release her. When he finally let her go, she pulled back, gasping for air, her lips slick and trembling.
Spent, Karin fell to the side, her limbs loose, eyes glazed as she lay there in silence, breathing heavily. It was clear the would-be queen had been conquered.
Tayuya and Sakura exchanged a glance, the room settling into a quiet tension as they watched Karin, the aftermath leaving her flushed and completely at his mercy.
…..
A few days had passed since that intense night, and Naruto found himself standing in one of the sprawling training grounds of the Inuzuka Clan. The air was filled with the sounds of barking dogs and the faint scent of earth and fur. Dozens of canines darted around, their boundless energy adding life to the otherwise quiet afternoon.
Kiba Inuzuka, now the head of his clan, stood across from Naruto. His sharp eyes followed the movements of a few younger dogs in training, but Naruto could tell his focus was split. They hadn't spoken much since Kiba took over, and it was clear that the new responsibilities weighed on him.
Naruto's gaze drifted over the scene, watching as Kiba gave a sharp whistle, immediately drawing the attention of a pack of ninken that quickly formed up at his side. Kiba turned back to Naruto, his expression a mix of curiosity and guardedness.
"You've got quite the pack now," Naruto remarked, breaking the silence, his tone casual but with an undercurrent of seriousness.
Kiba shrugged, his lips quirking into a half-smile. "Yeah, well, comes with the territory. You don't take over the clan without earning the respect of these guys first."
Naruto nodded, letting the moment settle before continuing. "I wanted to talk to you about... what's been going on lately. Karin's been making her moves, trying to push her influence among the clans. I'm sure you've noticed."
Kiba's eyes narrowed slightly, a low growl escaping from one of the dogs at his feet as if it sensed the tension in the conversation. "Yeah, I've heard the whispers," he admitted, crossing his arms. "She's been trying to get everyone to play her game, promising favors and alliances. Some of the elders are starting to lean her way."
Naruto took a step closer, his presence steady and commanding without a hint of aggression. "I'm not here to threaten you, Kiba. But I need to know where you stand. I'm trying to keep things stable, and Karin... she's playing a dangerous game. One that could break what we've built."
Kiba studied Naruto for a long moment, the sounds of dogs barking and training in the background filling the silence. Finally, he let out a heavy sigh, running a hand through his wild hair. "You've got to understand, Naruto. The Inuzuka don't bend easily. We're not just gonna fall in line because of some pretty promises. But we also don't want to be left behind if she ends up taking the Red Chair."
Naruto's eyes hardened, but he kept his voice steady. "I'm not asking you to pick sides blindly. Just... keep your eyes open. Karin's moves aren't just about power; she's aiming to control the village. And once she does, I don't know what her next target will be. But I'm back now, done with all my training, and I'll do everything I can to keep her in check."
Kiba gave a reluctant nod, the weight of leadership clear in the set of his shoulders. "I hear you. But you'll need to give me something more concrete if you want the clan's loyalty. We're not ones to follow blindly, either."
Naruto smirked, a flicker of his old confidence shining through. "I wouldn't expect anything less. Just... remember who's had your back all these years."
The tension between them softened, a mutual respect simmering beneath the surface.
Kiba turned fully to face him, a rare grin breaking through his usual seriousness. "You know, back at the academy, I hated your guts. Maybe because I always knew you were destined for something great." He paused, eyes locked with Naruto's. "But now, I see you for what you are—a friend, an ally... a brother."
With those words, he extended his arm. Naruto mirrored the gesture, and they clasped forearms in the handshake of warriors—a bond forged not just in words, but in the battles they had faced and the ones yet to come.
The moment lingered, charged with unspoken promises and a shared vision for the future. As Naruto turned to leave the training grounds, he knew this was only the first step. Unlike Karin, who sought control through cunning and dominance, Naruto aimed to bring the clans together in a different way. The bonds he forged wouldn't rely on threats or schemes, but on mutual respect and loyalty—to each other, to the village, and to the ideals they stood for.
The clans would unite, not as pawns in a game of power, but as allies under the watchful eyes of the Uzumaki, bound by a commitment to protect what they cherished.
…..
Naruto stepped into the quiet, secluded grounds of the Aburame clan, the air thick with the low hum of kikaichū—the clan's signature insects—moving in their invisible swarms. The compound was built with care, each section of the land dotted with intricate hives and well-maintained spaces for the kikaichū to thrive. The serene atmosphere was a far cry from the tense political landscape unfolding in the village.
As he approached the center of the compound, Shino emerged from the shadows. His figure was calm and composed, his usual demeanor of quiet authority undisturbed. A few kikaichū buzzed around him, their presence as much a part of him as his clothing.
"Naruto," Shino greeted, his tone steady and logical, devoid of the emotional fluctuations that often accompanied conversations in the village. "You are here uninvited. May I ask the purpose of your visit?"
Naruto met his gaze, feeling the weight of Shino's unwavering calm. "I came to talk about Karin. She's been making power plays, trying to take control of the clans. I need to make sure the Aburame aren't swept up in it." reshape the village's structure, making it all about her. I want the Aburame, and every clan, to have a choice in the matter. Her plans are not mine, you need to know that. All the clans are equal in this village and I do not want anyone to think otherwise."
Shino's eyes remained locked on Naruto's, his voice even as he replied. "Your approach suggests a contrast to Karin's. Rather than manipulation and threats, you speak of cooperation and stability. While this is not a method I have seen employed often, I cannot ignore its potential for a more balanced future."
Naruto exhaled a sigh of relief. "Exactly. I don't want to control anyone, Shino. I want the clans to come together, but not through fear or manipulation. We need strength, but also loyalty. Loyalty to each other—and the village."
Shino's gaze softened slightly, though his stance remained firm and resolute. "The Aburame clan has long valued the preservation of balance, both within our ranks and with the other clans. If you are offering a future based on that principle, I will consider it. However, understand that the Aburame do not move without deep deliberation."
Naruto nodded, a faint smirk playing on his lips. "I wouldn't expect you to. But just remember, we've had each other's backs before. Don't forget who stood by you when it mattered."
Shino gave a slow, deliberate nod, his expression betraying nothing more than quiet acknowledgment. "Indeed. The Aburame do not forget their allies, Naruto. We will consider your words carefully. But understand, should we choose to align with you, it will not be without great thought."
With that, the conversation fell into a lull, the hum of kikaichū filling the space between them as Naruto turned to leave. The compound, usually so serene, felt charged with a new understanding. For now, Shino remained unmoved, a fortress of logic. But Naruto knew that the seeds had been planted. The Aburame clan would not be swayed easily, but with patience, he could count on their allegiance—not through coercion, but through the mutual respect he had always tried to foster.
As he stepped away, Naruto's mind was already turning to the next challenge. The clans would come together, but it wouldn't be by Karin's hand. It would be through his own—though his methods would be different even if the outcome would be the same.
…
As Naruto exited the Aburame compound, his mind still preoccupied with the last conversation just had, he felt something was off in the village as he turned to make his way to meet with the Nara clan, but that idea soon evaporated when he heard rapid footsteps behind him.
He turned quickly, thinking the worst, and saw Konohamaru sprinting toward him, his team struggling to keep up.
"Naruto!" Konohamaru shouted, breathless, his voice filled with urgency. "I've been looking for you all morning! Sakura said to come to the hospital, it's time!"
Naruto's heart skipped a beat, his body going into motion before he even had a chance to think. "I'm coming," Naruto muttered, his voice low as he shot forward, his speed a blur. He weaved through the streets, his focus entirely on the hospital ahead. Every step brought him closer, his urgency clear in every motion as he ran down the streets, weaving around villagers as if they weren't even there.
Naruto burst into the hospital, nearly knocking over a nurse as he sprinted to the front desk. "Where are they?" he demanded, breathless, his eyes wild with unspoke fear.
The nurse blinked at him, clearly taken aback by the intensity. "Who are you talking about?" she asked, confused.
"Karin! Tayuya!" Naruto nearly shouted, not caring who heard him. "They're having the babies! My wives!"
The nurse's expression shifted as she put it all together. "Ah, right. They're up on the third floor. Down the hall, second door on the left."
Naruto didn't need any more directions. With a quick nod, he bolted off, charging toward the stairwell. His feet pounded up the steps, his mind racing faster than his body could keep up. "Third floor, second door, third floor, second door..." he muttered under his breath, like a mantra.
His long legs carried him up the first flight in seconds, but as he reached the second flight, his feet were moving faster than he could handle, and he tripped over the steps falling face-first on the stairs. "Dammit!" he cursed, gripping the handrail to steady himself.
A few more steps up, and his legs were starting to feel like jelly from the worry and panic. But that didn't stop him—he was still on a mission.
When he finally reached the third floor he charged down the hall, eyes locked on the second door on the left.
But just before he reached it, a voice stopped him cold.
"Hold IT!"
Naruto turned and saw the head nurse standing at the end of the hallway, arms crossed. "Sir, you need to calm down. You can't just run around like that. Please, wait in the waiting room with the other fathers."
Naruto blinked, eyes wide with disbelief. "What? No! I need to be with them!"
"Sir, you're not helping anyone by running around like a madman," she said, pointing toward the waiting room. "Please, wait your turn. You can't just barge in. Doctors Orders! Now Sit."
Naruto groaned, but there was no arguing with her. With one last glance at the door, he reluctantly turned and headed for the waiting room.
As he entered the waiting room, Naruto immediately spotted Shikamaru, lounging back in a chair, eyes closed as if he had all the time in the world.
"Shikamaru?" Naruto asked, raising an eyebrow. "What are you doing here?"
Shikamaru lazily cracked open an eye, taking in Naruto's restless state. "What does it look like? I'm waiting for my second kid to be born."
Naruto flopped down into a chair next to him, clearly not impressed by Shikamaru's casual attitude. "This is serious! Karin and Tayuya are having babies! I can't just sit here!"
Shikamaru closed his eyes again, looking completely unbothered. "Relax. The babies won't be here any faster if you're acting like this. You're not helping anyone."
Naruto crossed his arms, leaning forward in his seat. "I just... I don't know if I can wait. What if something happens?"
Shikamaru yawned, glancing at him lazily. "I've seen my wife go through this once before. Nothing happens in a rush, Naruto. You're a shinobi. Be patient. It'll happen when it happens."
Chouji walked into the room with an armful of snacks from the vending machine, looking around at them both with a grin. "You know, it's funny watching you two. One's freaking out, the other's asleep." He plopped down into a chair next to them, grabbing a bag of chips from his pocket.
"I'm not freaking out!" Naruto yelled though the tension in his posture said otherwise.
Shikamaru opened one eye again, smirking. "You'll figure it out. Just sit back and relax. You're in for a long wait, but it's all worth it."
Naruto sighed, slumping back in his chair. "I don't know how you guys do it."
"You get used to it," Chouji said, taking a chip. "This is Tenten's second so it shouldn't be that long. Just... don't explode before the kids arrive, okay?"
Naruto just groaned in frustration, staring at the door. "I swear, this is the hardest thing I've ever had to do."
"Troublesome, just don't say that in front of the women, they will take your head off," said Shikamaru closing his eyes again.
Naruto sat, fidgeting in his seat to the sound of Chouji crunching bag after bag of chips when the door to the back opened, and a nurse popped her head in. "Chouji Akimichi?" she called, "It's time to meet your son"
Chouji stood up when the nurse called his name empty chip bags flying everywhere, a wide grin on his face. "Well, guess I will see you guys later," he said, giving Naruto a thumbs-up as he followed the nurse down the hallway.
Naruto, still bouncing in his seat, looked at Shikamaru with wide eyes. "Man, why am I so nervous?" He ran a hand through his hair, looking at the floor like he was trying to make sense of his nerves.
Shikamaru, lounging with his eyes half-lidded, raised an eyebrow. "You're acting like it's your first time," he said, clearly unfazed by the situation. "Your wives have done this before, right? It's not like anything's gonna change."
Naruto shook his head quickly, still fidgeting. "Yeah, I know, but… I wasn't here the last time."
Shikamaru yawned, dragging a hand over his face. "You're making it worse by worrying," he muttered. "They've got this handled. Relax."
Chouji's voice floated back from the hallway. "Hey, don't freak out! It's gonna be fine!"
Naruto's gaze followed the nurse and Chouji down the hall, the feeling of urgency in his chest growing heavier. "But it's different this time! Both of them... Tayuya and Karin..." he said, biting his lip. "It's not like I'm just waiting for one kid. They're both…"
Shikamaru interrupted, not even glancing at Naruto as he took out a kunai to fiddle with. "Troublesome, that is what you are. You've been through a lot worse than this. A couple of babies aren't gonna change anything."
Naruto leaned back in his chair, eyes darting to the hallway where Chouji disappeared. He tried to settle himself, but his leg kept bouncing. "I just... feel like I'm gonna mess this up somehow," he muttered under his breath, his hand gripping the edge of his chair. He didn't want to tell Shikamaru that he and Karin had been on edge after that night, she was acting strange around him, not her normal self. She never said a word just smiled and said she was OK, but deep down he knew she was planning something.
"You're not," Shikamaru said flatly. "You just have to not act like you're about to jump into battle. It'll be fine, believe me."
Naruto shot him a nervous grin, battle yes that was it, was he in a battle with Karin?
"Easy for you to say. Your wife's already had one kid. This is new for me... well, new again, I guess."
Chouji's voice echoed again from down the hall, sounding upbeat. "It's a boy! A healthy boy!"
Naruto sighed in relief, but his nerves didn't ease. "Yeah, yeah, that's great for Chouji... but—"
Shikamaru let out a soft chuckle, finally glancing at Naruto. "Quit stressing. You're gonna be fine. You're not even the one giving birth, remember?"
Naruto rubbed the back of his neck, trying to force a smile. "Yeah, yeah… but I'm still worried."
"Don't. You'll just make it harder on yourself."
Naruto slouched in his chair, trying to breathe deeply and calm down. "Thanks, Shikamaru. Helpful," he said sarcastically, but with a smile creeping onto his face.
Shikamaru just shrugged and leaned back in his seat, eyes closing again. "You'll see. It'll be over before you know it."
Just as Naruto began to settle into the idea of calming down, a nurse appeared in the doorway, her soft footsteps cutting through the tension of the waiting room. "Uzumaki Naruto?" she asked with a professional, warm tone.
Naruto shot to his feet instantly, his nervous energy kicking back in. "That's me! That's me!" he practically shouted, then cleared his throat, trying to compose himself. "I'm ready."
Shikamaru gave him a half-smirk, his eyes still half-lidded. "Good luck. Don't embarrass yourself."
Naruto didn't respond—he was already out the door, following the nurse with a speed that matched his frantic heart. Down the hallway and through the sterile corridors, he could barely hold it together. Every step felt like a lifetime.
When the nurse opened the door, Naruto stopped in the doorway, his eyes falling on the scene inside. Karin and Tayuya were sitting up in their beds, looking utterly exhausted but content, both of them holding small bundles wrapped tightly in blankets. Despite the ordeal of labor, their faces glowed with soft happiness. The room was quiet, a peaceful hum filling the air.
Naruto's breath hitched. "I—wow..."
Tayuya, her hair wild and eyes heavy with fatigue smirked at him. "Took you long enough, dumbass. I thought you were gonna miss the whole thing."
Karin, no less beautiful despite looking drained, glanced up at him with a tired smile. "We've been waiting for you. They're here."
Naruto's heart slammed against his chest as he walked slowly toward the bed. "They made me wait outside, sorry, can I see them?"
"They're both here," Karin confirmed with a tired but happy laugh. "Healthy and strong. We're done doing the hard part. The rest is all on you now."
Naruto blinked, the weight of it all sinking in. Ten kids already, and now two more? He wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry. "You sure you're not going to do some of the late-night feedings?" he joked, kneeling beside the bed.
Tayuya shot him a tired but playful glare. "You're funny, Naruto. We've got wet nurses for that, and you're not off the hook. We've got the help, but you better be there for everything else."
Naruto laughed nervously, wiping his eyes quickly. "I'm just glad I'm here now. I didn't want to miss it."
The nurse stepped forward to adjust one of the babies in Tayuya's arms, and the small bundle let out a tiny, sleepy noise. Karin smiled, her exhaustion melting away in an instant. "It's all worth it," she said softly, her voice full of love.
Naruto's heart swelled. "You two are amazing," he whispered, his voice thick with emotion as he gazed at them, his family.
Tayuya yawned and settled back into the pillows with a sigh. "You're not so bad yourself, dumbass."
Naruto grinned, his hand gently brushing over the tiny fingers of the baby in Karin's arms. "I'll do whatever it takes, I'm not going anywhere."
Karin smiled at him, her gaze warm with affection. "We know. But this time, it's not all about you. We've got help—the clan is strong, don't forget that." Her words were a subtle reminder of all the effort she had poured into fortifying the clan to stand independently, and he understood it deeply.
Naruto chuckled softly, feeling a sense of calm wash over him. "I'll do what I can get."
He stood there for a moment, just soaking in the peaceful sight of his wives holding their sons. The room was quiet, just the soft sound of newborns in their mother's arms. For the first time in what felt like ages, Naruto allowed himself to relax.
"I love you both, don't forget that," he said, his voice thick with gratitude.
Karin and Tayuya exchanged a brief look before turning their gazes back to him. "We love you too," Tayuya muttered, her voice full of affection. "It's all part of being married now isn't it."
Naruto smiled at the familiar tone, feeling an overwhelming sense of pride for the family they had built together. His sons were here, his wives were safe, and everything seemed right with the world.
…..
Days later, Naruto stood in front of the Hokage's desk, looking tired but still managing a grin.
"So, how does it feel to have two more join the clan?" Tsunade asked, leaning back in her chair with a rare, soft smile. One of her guilty pleasures was going over there and visiting her grandbabies.
Naruto laughed. "What can I say? They're perfect."
"Good," Tsunade replied, her expression turning serious in an instant. "Because it's time to get back to business. The Science Department has calculated it takes about ten days to extract a Tailed Beast based on what we've learned from Yugito. That means we only have three, maybe four days before Pain can make his next move. It's either here where you and Fu are or it's Gaara. I have sent him all the information we have on Pain and what Akatsuki members we know of that are still active."
Naruto's smile faded as he pushed thoughts of his newborns and wives aside. Now was the time to focus on protecting the entire village, not just his own family.
"What do you need me to do?" he asked, his voice steady, eyes sharp.
Tsunade nodded, appreciating his quick shift of focus. "We need all available forces ready to defend the village. I want you to coordinate with the clan heads, reinforce our defenses, and prepare a strategy to counter Pain's abilities. We can't afford to be caught off guard."
Naruto nodded the will of fire shining in his eyes. "I'm on it. I'll rally everyone and make sure we're ready."
"Good," Tsunade said, her tone firm. "And Naruto… take care of yourself. You're not just fighting for yourself anymore. You've got a lot more waiting for you at home."
Naruto gave her a confident nod. "I know. That's why I won't let him get anywhere near this village."
With that, he turned on his heel, already planning his next moves. There was no time to waste.
…
Naruto's clone had been on the move for over a week, navigating the harsh, uncharted lands that stretched between Earth Country and Wind Country. The rumor of an Akatsuki base hidden on the far western shores of Wind Country had driven him to cross through three unaligned nations, keeping to the shadows and avoiding detection. Now, he stood on the outskirts of Hoshi, the capital of Bear Country on the western shores of the Kakushi Sea.
As he walked into the heart of the town, the atmosphere hit him like a wall. Hoshi was a far cry from the bustling villages of the Elemental Nations he was used to. It was a small, dusty settlement on the edge of a desert, its streets lined with wooden buildings that seemed to creak under the weight of time. The place had a distinctly old, weathered feel to it—like a relic from a bygone era. The ground beneath his feet was hard-packed dirt, kicking up small clouds of dust with each step he took.
The town was alive with a rough, almost lawless energy. Men on horseback rode down the narrow streets, their hooves clattering against the cobblestones as they shouted to one another. They wore wide-brimmed hats and tattered clothes, their faces weathered and sun-beaten, giving the place the air of an old outpost. Wooden doors of the bar at the heart of the town swung back and forth as rough-looking patrons spilled out, laughter and rowdy voices mixing with the sound of spurs clinking and saddles creaking.
Naruto's eyes swept over the scene, taking in the small, rickety buildings with peeling paint and dusty windows. Most of the structures were one-story, with balconies hanging over the street, casting deep shadows as the late afternoon sun dipped lower in the sky. The air smelled of horses, sweat, and the faint hint of alcohol, mingling with the dust that hung thick in the air.
He moved with purpose, his senses sharp and alert. The clone knew he had to tread carefully here—this place was no stranger to strangers, but it was also the kind of place where outsiders went missing. His eyes darted to the saloon, where a group of men watched him from the porch, their expressions guarded and unfriendly.
Naruto ignored them, adjusting his cloak that hid his bright orange tracksuit and pulling the hood to cover his bright hair, hoping to blend in as much as possible. He needed information, a lead on the supposed Akatsuki hideout. But in a place like this, information came at a price—either money or blood.
As he walked further into the town, he kept his ears open, catching snippets of conversation about bounties, old grudges, and rumors of strange travelers passing through. The clone made his way towards a dusty tavern at the center of town, where a flickering sign hung crookedly, promising drinks and shelter.
If there was any truth to the rumors he'd heard, this was as good a place as any to start digging for information.
Naruto pushed open the swinging bar doors, stepping into the dimly lit room. It was filled with the stench of sweat, alcohol, and unwashed bodies. The murmur of low conversation and the clatter of poker chips came to a halt as every eye in the place turned to size him up. Ignoring the stares, he pulled his hood lower, hiding his distinctive blond hair, and walked further into the room.
A group of rough-looking men sat around a rickety table to his left, playing cards. The biggest of them, a scarred brute with a missing tooth, looked up and sneered. "Hey, pretty boy, you lost? This ain't the place for tourists."
Naruto gave the man a sideways glance but said nothing, intending to move on. But as he tried to walk past, the brute kicked a chair into his path, blocking his way. The tension in the room thickened, the other patrons leaning forward in anticipation of a brawl.
"I asked you a question," the man growled, standing up to his full height, and towering over Naruto. "Or are you too dumb to answer? Dumbass!"
Naruto sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. He didn't have time for this. In one swift, fluid motion, he seized the man by the collar. With a single powerful heave, he sent him hurtling through the nearest window. Glass exploded outward, scattering shards across the room as gasps and curses filled the air. The thug landed with a heavy thud in the street, sliding through the dust before slamming into the far wall, where he lay unmoving.
The remaining men at the card table went pale, their faces drained of color as they quickly averted their gazes. None of them seemed eager to test their luck. One of them hesitated only a moment before sliding their "friend's" pile of money across the table, dividing it among the others in tense silence. Gradually, the room's buzz of conversation returned, though it was noticeably subdued, with hushed tones and nervous glances cast in Naruto's direction.
Satisfied that he'd made his point, Naruto strode up to the bar, taking a seat on one of the creaky stools. The bartender, a grizzled man with a balding head and a dirty apron, looked him up and down with a mix of amusement and curiosity.
"What'll it be?" the bartender asked.
"Gimme a bowl of ramen," Naruto said with a grin, leaning casually against the counter.
The bartender burst out laughing, a rough, genuine sound as he wiped a tear from his eye. "Ramen? Kid, you've got the wrong kind of place for that. The closest thing to ramen here is somethin' that probably used to crawl." He poured a shot of amber liquid with a practiced hand and slid it across the counter. "Here, try this instead. On the house—for taking out the trash."
Naruto eyed the glass suspiciously but took a tentative sip. Instantly, he gagged as the whiskey burned down his throat. "What the hell is this?" he wheezed, coughing.
The old man sitting next to him, looking like he was held together by dust and wrinkles, let out a raspy chuckle. "Ain't from around here, are ya? That there's the local special. Puts hair on your chest—if it doesn't burn your insides first."
Naruto grimaced but took another sip, determined not to be outdone. "I've had worse," he lied, feeling the burn all the way to his toes.
The old man raised a brow, clearly amused. "Name's Shin," he said, holding out a hand that looked like it had seen more sun than a desert rock.
"Uzumaki Naruto," Naruto replied, shaking the man's hand, his grip firm despite the alcohol starting to hit. "So, Shin, what's a guy like you doing in a place like this?"
"Me? Just passin' through, same as you, I reckon," Shin said with a sly smile. "But you lookin' for something, ain't ya? No one comes to Hoshi for the scenery."
Naruto shrugged, letting the bartender pour another shot. "Maybe I am.." He downed the drink, grimacing as it burned its way down.
"Ah, c'mon now," Shin teased, waving to the bartender for a refill for both of them. "Ain't no harm in talkin'. What's got a young ninja like you out here?"
Naruto's tongue was getting looser with each drink. "I'm lookin' for some scumbags," he slurred, eyes narrowing. "Heard there's an Akatsuki base somewhere 'round here."
Shin's eyes glinted with interest, though he kept his expression neutral. "Akatsuki, huh? Nasty bunch, that lot. Dangerous folks to go chasin' after."
Naruto shrugged, a cocky grin spreading across his face. "They ain't all that tough. I've taken down worse. But man, tracking them is like trying to find a noodle in a bowl of ramen, y'know?"
Shin leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "What if I told ya I heard some things? Might be able to point ya in the right direction."
Naruto's eyes widened. "You know something?" He leaned in, the alcohol making him more trusting than usual. "Spill it, old man! Where are they?" In the back of his mind, he wondered why the drinks were affecting him so much but pushed that thought aside.
Shin chuckled softly, leaning back. "Easy now, kid. No need to shout. I might know a thing or two... but information like that doesn't come cheap. How 'bout another drink?"
Naruto, already feeling the effects of the whiskey, shrugged. "Sure, why not? One more for the road!"
The bartender poured another round, and Naruto's face twisted as he forced it down. The room was starting to spin just a bit, but he couldn't let an old geezer out-drink him.
"So, uh..." Naruto hiccuped, blinking to steady his vision, talking to the middle of the three old men he was now seeing. "What do you know about the Akatsuki, huh?"
Shin gave a slow, calculating smile. "Oh, I've heard a tale or two. But maybe... just maybe... you're barkin' up the wrong tree, boy. Akatsuki's a whole different beast than what you're used to. They don't play games, ya hear."
Naruto slammed his hand on the bar, the alcohol making him bolder. "I don't care! I'll take them all down. Just tell me where!"
Shin chuckled, his eyes glinting with something that made Naruto's skin crawl, though he was too far gone to notice. "Alright, alright. I'll give ya a hint. West of here, near the cliffs, there's an old cave system. Might be worth pokin' around."
Naruto's eyes lit up, and he stumbled off the stool, nearly falling over. "Thanks, old man! I owe ya one." He clapped Shin on the back a bit too hard before making his way out of the bar, a little unsteady on his feet but with a grin on his face.
As Naruto left, Shin watched him go with a sly smile, swirling the whiskey in his glass. "Foolish boy," he muttered under his breath. "This is going to be too easy."
Naruto stood at the entrance of the cave, swaying slightly, still feeling the effects of the whiskey that had burned its way through his system. The world around him spun, but he could hear voices echoing from deep within the darkness. They were muffled, indistinct, but enough to make him believe he was close to finding the Akatsuki.
"That old man better not have lied to me..." he muttered, shaking his head to clear the fog. Taking a deep breath, he steeled himself—or at least tried to, stumbling forward as he entered the cave. The air grew colder, the shadows pressing in on him as he ventured deeper.
The voices grew louder, almost like a heated conversation, and Naruto quickened his pace, his footsteps barely a whisper on the stone floor. But instead of finding a hidden base filled with enemies, he rounded a corner and found... a campfire.
Sitting there, bathed in the flickering light, was the old man from the bar—Shin.
Naruto blinked, trying to make sense of it. "Shin? What the hell are you doing here?" He stumbled over, plopping down heavily on a rock across from the man. "Where's the Akatsuki? You said they were here."
The old man smiled a strange, almost unsettling grin. "Oh, they're around, boy... Just keep looking."
Naruto frowned, trying to piece together the situation. "This place is supposed to be crawling with those red cloud freaks. You sure you ain't lost your marbles, old man?"
Shin just chuckled, leaning back casually. "Maybe you've had too much to drink, Naruto-kun."
Naruto's eyes narrowed. "Wait a minute... How do you know my name?"
Before Naruto could react, Shin reached up to his face. There was a grotesque tearing sound as the old man's skin seemed to peel away, revealing a pale, snake-like face beneath.
Naruto's eyes went wide as he scrambled back, nearly tripping over his own feet. "Wh—what the hell?!"
Orochimaru stood there, his transformation complete, the mask of "Shin's body" lying discarded on the ground like snakeskin. His long black hair cascaded down, framing a face that was both terrifyingly familiar and utterly alien. Those yellow, slit-pupil eyes gleamed with cruel delight, his tongue flicking out as if tasting Naruto's fear.
"Surprised to see me, Naruto-kun?" Orochimaru hissed his voice a chilling whisper that echoed through the cavern.
Naruto's heart pounded, but his drunken mind struggled to catch up. "Orochimaru... You tricked me, you bastard!" He pointed a shaky finger at him, but it was more accusatory than threatening. "Where's the Akatsuki? You said they were here!"
Orochimaru just laughed, a low, sinister sound that sent shivers down Naruto's spine. "Oh, Naruto-kun, you're even more foolish than I remembered," he said, his grin widening. "A shadow clone, drunk and stumbling about, thinking it can take on the Akatsuki? Pathetic."
Naruto's eyes narrowed, his confusion turning to anger. "Clone? What are you—"
Orochimaru's gaze sharpened, cutting him off. "Tell me, clone... what is your real mission? Surely you didn't come all this way just to get captured by me?"
Naruto, still trying to process everything, gritted his teeth. "Like I'd tell you anything, you slimy snake!" He tried to gather chakra, but it was messy and unstable, the alcohol was messing with his control.
Orochimaru just watched him, amusement dancing in his eyes. "Struggling to focus, are we? It's almost too easy." He leaned forward, his serpentine features casting eerie shadows on the cave walls. "But let's not waste time. That drink was one of my inventions, it will stabilize a clone like you so you can't return to your creator, now Talk."
Naruto staggered, his thoughts racing. "Dammit... Gotta warn the others," he muttered, but his body wasn't listening as he fell to the cave wall and slid down to the ground.
The snake Sannin's smile widened, his voice dropping to a menacing whisper. "Oh, don't worry, Naruto-kun. I'll get what I want from you... one way or another."
The firelight flickered between them, casting Orochimaru's twisted smile into stark relief as Naruto realized just how deep he was in trouble.
…
The Uzumaki compound's main room was bathed in warm afternoon light, streaming in through the large windows that lined the walls. The space had been transformed into a makeshift dressing area, mirrors propped up around the room, reflecting the three women lounging and moving about.
Tayuya stood in front of one of the full-length mirrors, inspecting herself with a critical eye. She was dressed in nothing but a lacy black bra and matching panties, the delicate fabric clinging to her tight, toned body. At 4'11" and 98 pounds, her figure was petite yet perfectly proportioned, with a small waist and smooth, hairless legs that seemed to go on forever. Her red hair cascaded down her back in long, silky waves, framing her sharp, confident features. Her C-cup breasts were perfectly perky, and the toned muscles of her stomach rippled with every movement, leading down to a tight, round ass that seemed to defy gravity.
"Damn, Sakura, you do good work," Tayuya said with a wicked grin, turning to the pink-haired medic. Her hands slid up her sides to cup her breasts, a self-satisfied smirk tugging at her lips as she admired her reflection. "You fixed me up real good. Can't even tell I was knocked up just last week."
Sakura, seated on one of the plush chairs, was in her standard red dress with her white lab coat lying over the back of the chair, gave a smug smile as she leaned back, crossing her long legs. "Well, my Full Life Healing Jutsu does more than just erase stretch marks, you know." She flipped her hair over her shoulder, clearly pleased with herself. "But I can only do it five times before your body starts rejecting it. So don't go getting pregnant every chance you get."
"Five times, huh?" Karin interjected from her spot on the couch, adjusting her glasses. She was dressed in a tight blue tank top and black shorts, her crimson hair pulled back in a messy ponytail. "Guess we've got to pace ourselves, Tayuya. Wouldn't want you turning into a flabby mom bod, right?"
Tayuya snorted, flipping Karin the bird with a sly grin. "Like hell that's gonna happen. I don't plan on popping out any more brats just yet. Though…" She turned back to the mirror, arching her back slightly to accentuate her curves. "Gotta admit, I wouldn't mind getting knocked up again if it means getting to lounge around naked and get spoiled by Naruto for a few months a year."
Sakura rolled her eyes but couldn't hide the smirk tugging at her lips. "You're incorrigible, Tayuya."
"Hey, I'm just honest," Tayuya shot back with a grin, winking at her reflection. "Besides, it's not like he complains. If anything, he's the one who can't keep his hands off me."
Karin adjusted her glasses, her gaze lingering on Tayuya with a knowing smirk. Thanks to Sakura's jutsu, Karin's body had been restored to her usual 5'4" and 110-pound frame. Slim yet curvaceous, she had subtle curves that enhanced her femininity. Her generous C-cup breasts were perfectly proportioned to her slender figure, and her smooth, pale skin seemed to glow under the warm light of the room. The soft contours of her body provided a striking contrast to Tayuya's more muscular build, but it was Karin's sharp red eyes and confident demeanor that truly commanded attention. Were it not for the countless bite marks scattered across her upper body, she would undoubtedly be considered a knockout by anyone's standards.
Karin recalled that after telling Naruto she was fully healed, it hadn't taken long for him to be all over her once they got home. "Well, he certainly has a type—fiery redheads with a bit of an attitude problem." She nudged Tayuya playfully with her foot, brushing against her ass.
Tayuya stuck her tongue out at Karin, then turned to face Sakura, her expression shifting to something more thoughtful. "So, you're telling me I can keep this perfect body of mine even after all the kids Naruto keeps knocking us up with?"
Sakura nodded, though her eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief. "For a few more times, yes. But after that, you're on your own. So try not to get carried away. This doesn't change the aging process, so keep that in mind."
Tayuya shrugged, clearly unfazed. "Guess we better make these next few times count, huh?" She gave her ass a playful smack, watching the jiggle with a satisfied grin.
Karin leaned back, her gaze lingering on Tayuya's reflection. "You're lucky, you know? Not everyone gets a body like that after popping out a kid."
Tayuya strutted over, swaying her hips provocatively as she leaned in close to Karin, their faces inches apart. "Jealous much? Maybe if you played your cards right, I'd let you get another taste."
Karin blushed, her pulse quickening despite herself. She hated how easily Tayuya could still get under her skin, stirring feelings she refused to acknowledge. Even after years of sharing the same bed, the attraction between them burned as hot as ever. But she wouldn't give Tayuya the satisfaction of knowing how much she still craved her touch—not after all those long months with Naruto gone had deepened her hunger for something more.
"Tch, as if I'd want your sloppy seconds," Karin shot back, tilting her chin defiantly. "Naruto's more than enough for me. And now that I've got my old self back, I'm sure he'll be spending all night on my side of the bed."
Tayuya chuckled darkly, her eyes flashing with a hint of challenge. "Sloppy? There is nothing sloppy about this. You know that as well as I do. Don't pretend you're not still interested." She let the words linger between them, her hand resting just above the curve of Karin's thigh as she leaned closer, her breath hot against her ear.
Karin shifted uncomfortably, a familiar ache pulling at her despite herself. A part of her still longed to give in, to let Tayuya take what she wanted as she always had. She had given herself to the redhead before, letting her bend her to her will, finding a twisted pleasure in it—one she'd never openly admit. She had told herself it was a form of control, a way to get Tayuya to play by her rules. But now, Karin couldn't help but wonder—had she been the one bending all along?
Things had changed, though. It wasn't the same anymore, not with Tayuya turning her attention elsewhere. The redhead was always seeking a new challenge, a new conquest, and now with two more women in their shared home, Karin knew it wouldn't be long before Tayuya made her move again. Karin had always controlled people in groups, keeping them in line, and using her influence to maintain order to get what she wanted. But with Tayuya, it was different. One at a time, the redhead unraveled her, making Karin question if she was the one in control after all.
"I don't need to see what's already been claimed, Tayuya," Karin said coolly, though her voice had a softness to it. "Naruto is more than enough for me. Thank you."
Tayuya let out a low, throaty laugh, her lips brushing against Karin's cheek in a fleeting kiss before she jumped back, giving her ass a playful tug as she winked at the redhead. "You always say that, Karin," she teased, her voice dripping with a mix of confidence and mischief. "But we both know the truth. You're just too proud to admit it—you're not the only one who's had a taste of me."
Sakura raised an eyebrow, clearly amused by Tayuya's boldness. "You know, you're not as subtle as you think you are. We all know what you're like."
"I'm not trying to be fucking subtle," Tayuya shot back, her lips curling into a confident grin as she continued admiring herself in the mirror. "Why pretend when we all know the truth? You can't deny it—he can't deny it. I have what everyone wants."
Karin chuckled, stretching out on the couch. "You're not wrong. But you might want to dial it back a little, or else you'll start catching the attention of the others living with us."
Tayuya let out a laugh, her eyes gleaming. "Who says that isn't the idea? You know I like a challenge."
Sakura moved up behind Tayuya, her chin resting lightly on the shorter woman's shoulder. Her hands slid up Tayuya's sides, a teasing smile playing on her lips. "Well, if you think you need a little competition, I could always give it a try," she purred. "Fu tastes like wildflowers, you know."
Tayuya's breath hitched as Sakura's hands wandered down, fingers tracing the curve of her belly before sliding lower into her panties. The pulse of Sakura's chakra swept over her, sending waves of pleasure that radiated across her skin. Tayuya moaned softly as the sensation intensified. Damn Mednin and their perfect chakra control, she always lost this battle.
"Ha!" Tayuya pulled away, stopping herself before things went any further. She turned to face Sakura, hands on her hips, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. "I knew it. You can't keep your hands off anyone in the family, can you?" Her eyes gleamed with a playful challenge as she shot Sakura a sly smile, savoring every moment of their teasing.
Just then, the door opened, and Karui and Fu walked in, having just finished their yoga session at the dojo on the floor below. Both wore tight-fitting yoga tops and pants, their bodies warm and glistening with a light sheen of sweat. Fu, with her striking tan skin and short green hair, was as lean as ever, her figure sleek and toned. Karui, with her dark skin and fiery red hair, had an undeniable energy that radiated from her as she moved.
They stepped into the room, completely unaware of what was happening just moments before. Their eyes met the sight of Tayuya, Karin, and Sakura, all three women sitting or standing around the room, eyes locked in an intense, almost predatory gaze as they turned to look at the newcomers. Tayuya, Karin, and Sakura were clearly in the middle of something charged, something beyond casual conversation. Their eyes roamed over Karui and Fu with that unmistakable, hungry look.
Karui paused, her expression unreadable as she glanced between the three women. "Hi, guys. Is something going on?" she asked, her voice light and casual, though there was a slight edge of confusion. She hadn't expected this when she walked in. Fu stood beside her, still oblivious, eyes scanning the room with a quiet curiosity. The smile on her face never faltered.
The three women took in the new arrivals with their predatory stares, their lips curling into smirks as they exchanged knowing looks. It was clear from their expressions that something had just shifted in the room.
Tayuya, always quick with a comeback, grinned and stepped forward. "Oh, nothing much. Just, you know... a little competition," she said with a mischievous grin, letting her eyes linger on Karui and Fu as she teased, "You two should be careful. We've been discussing a new little game."
Sakura, licked her fingertips, her teasing smile growing, as she moved to sit back in her chair, "Yeah, we were talking bout a little game is all."
Karin crossed her arms. "Just make sure you two play nice this time," she teased, her eyes flashing playfully.
Here's a smoother version of the scene with the confusion intact for Karui and Fu:
Fu blinked a few times, her eyes darting back and forth between the trio. "Uh, are we interrupting something?" she asked, her voice thick with confusion.
Karui looked over at Fu, then back at the others, a slow realization creeping onto her face. Her lips curled into a soft laugh, her smirk widening as she crossed her arms. "I see how it is now," she said, her tone amused. "You're all just messing with the new girls, huh?"
Tayuya, Karin, and Sakura exchanged a brief look, their smirks matching as the playful tension in the room gave way to laughter. Karui and Fu shared an amused glance, the earlier confusion beginning to melt away, though Fu still seemed a bit lost.
"Well, I guess we'll just have to see who gets the last word, won't we?" Karui said, her grin widening, feeling like she was catching onto the game—but still completely missing the point.
Fu, still slightly bewildered but starting to catch the playful vibe, let out a light laugh. "Guess we're 'IT' now, huh?"
The mood in the room shifted again, but this time it was lighter, filled with laughter and teasing as they played along.
"Oh, you're 'IT' all right," Tayuya said with a grin as she turned back to the mirror, admiring her new figure.
…
Uhg, life is hard. This past week has been hell for me. I sure hope it's been better for you guys and gals. The story needs a villain, and Pain is not all that appealing to me. Do you have any ideas?
