Chapter Twenty-Seven
"What exactly do you mean by 'complication'?" Kushina asked, torn between being worried for her sister and furious at the doctor for messing up on something so critical.
"I don't exactly know how to describe it. It would be best if you see it for yourself." Iyou insisted.
"Oh I intend to." Kushina said, then looked to Naruto. "Stay here, I won't be long." He nodded and she left with the doctor.
"I better check this out too. Shizune, come with me." Tsunade said, following the others with her assistant.
"So... what do we do while we wait?" Naruto asked.
"We might as well relax and enjoy the fresh air." Ayame suggested, getting comfortable on the grass laying down.
Sakura tugged Naruto's arm. "Naruto-kun, can you show me how to fly now?"
He smiled. "Sure, why have wings if you can't use them?" He made his own wings and tail appear. "You might be nervous once you start, but trust your body to know what it's doing. Take-off is actually pretty easy, just jump and start flapping them. Like this." He bent his legs then propelled himself off the ground, not unlike a normal ninja jump, and while in the air used his wings to try and get extra lift while moving his body to catch any updrafts. Once he got the lift needed, he used his wings to propel himself forward, and truly fly.
'Alright, I can do this.' Sakura thought, straightening her wings out and readying herself for a large jump too. She leapt, higher than a normal person ever could, and naturally years of experience told her to brace for a landing, but she tried to ignore that instinct and instead put her new wings to work. Using the new muscles felt strange, but no different than if she were flapping her arms. To her joy, it seemed to be working, she was gaining altitude instead of succumbing to gravity. In no time she was able to go forward, using her tail to steer herself.
"I'm flying! I'M FLYING!" She shouted as she tried to catch up with Naruto.
"That can't be as fun as that looks." Isaribi commented as everyone else watched from below.
"Nothing could be more fun than that looks." Ino refuted.
"Still, I think I'll stick to the water."
"You do that. I want wings." Moegi noted.
Ino couldn't help but nod. 'At first all I wanted was the boobs, but the wings would be fun. But are the side-effects worth it? I better hear from Sakura after she's had time to experience more of this change.'
Sakura herself was just enjoying the most freedom she had ever felt in her life. That was the only way to describe the sensation, free.
Naruto came up next to her. "Wanna race?"
"Only if you want to lose!" She teased, having to yell over the rush of win in her ears.
"Okay, first one to that mountain wins!" Naruto said, referencing a mountain peak that was several miles away but not so far that getting back soon would have been unreasonable if they hurried.
With that the two soared in an effort to get ahead of each other. Naruto, the more experienced of the two, was able to maneuver enough to stay in the lead, but Sakura was nothing if not a quick learner, and by paying attention to how he moved his wings and tail she was able to match him in speed soon enough.
"Good job Sakura-chan!" Naruto praised.
"Thanks!" Sakura replied, trying to look at herself for a moment. 'I wonder if the weight of my chest is affecting my momentum. You'd think large breasts wouldn't be very aerodynamic, or too heavy to provide comfortable flight, but so far I'm having no problem at all.' Either way, she couldn't focus on her body for long, except for how to keep it in the air.
The mountain was apparently farther away than it looked, requiring twenty minutes to get close enough to land on it. Her wings getting tired, Sakura really wanted to land, but only then did she realize she didn't know how to.
"Naruto! How do I land?" She asked, sounding a bit scared.
"Watch!" He said, then pulled his wings back for a dive. Meters before he hit the ground he pulled his wings out to act like a parachute and flapped them, but not enough to gain lift, just reduce the pull of gravity. Positioning his body, he was able to drop to his feet harmlessly. He looked up and saw Sakura going in circles to keep herself up. "Now you try. I'll catch you if you need it." He held out his arms to show her she would be safe.
Feeling a great sense of reassurance from her mate, Sakura smiled and decided to go down to him. She didn't dive like he did, but she did descend at a softer angle. There were no trees to get in her way, so she was essentially gliding down to the ground in a spiral pattern. As soon as she tried to move her body so she would be upright, her wings caught a pocket of air like parachutes would and threw her off course, making her fumble backwards, essentially falling now.
"Sakura-chan!" Naruto yelled, running to catch her. He got there too early and so Sakura fell right on top of him, both collapsing on the ground.
Sakura sat up, groaning and curling her wings up. "Ugh, that was not fun right there. Guess I just need to practice that part a little more." Only then did she realize the ground under her didn't feel like ground, and she saw she was sitting on Naruto's back. "Naruto-kun, are you okay?" She asked in a panic after she got off him, and tried to help him up.
Naruto looked fine, dirty and banged up a bit, but fine. "I'm good." He said as he sat up. "I've survived worse hits from you after all."
Sakura didn't know whether to laugh with him at that, or apologize for having ever hit him in the first place. So instead, she decided to do something that would make him feel better. "I guess since you landed first that means you won the race."
Naruto perked. "Hey yeah, I guess it does."
Sakura then unzipped her shirt to expose her bra-covered breasts and shoved them in his face. "Then here's your reward for winning."
His face in her cleavage, Naruto turned to look at her. "I think I know something I'd rather have."
"What's that?" Sakura asked, curious. To her surprise Naruto leaned in and kissed her. Instantly delighted, she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him back.
'He likes kissing me more than he likes my breasts?' Sakura asked herself, not bothered by the idea at all. 'I like that, it means he's not shallow like some boys. I used to be so insecure about my chest, my whole body in general. I always thought maybe it wasn't what Sasuke wanted. But Naruto-kun... I've been both flat and busty and he still thinks of me as beautiful either way. I don't think I can be grateful enough to have him.'
Feeling very frisky, Sakura broke the kiss, grabbed Naruto's hands, and placed them on her breasts, sighing happily at his touch. "Naruto-kun, you have no idea how happy I am that you still care for me. I know you'll forgiven me for what I used to do, but I want you to know, I intend to spend the rest of my life making up for it."
"I want you to enjoy your life Sakura-chan, not waste it feeling like you're working off a debt." He told her, pulling down her bra to expose her breasts without actually removing the garment.
The pinkette reached back and unhooked her bra, letting her torso be completely bare, then rested her hands atop her breasts as if to hold them in place for him. "I'm not wasting it Naruto. You deserve to be loved, and I'm more than happy to give it to you. I love you Naruto-kun." She smiled brighter, glad this time she said it and knew she was saying it. "I love you, my heart belongs to you, and thus so does my life. My life, my body, my spirit, everything that is me is yours Naruto-kun. And I don't ever want to take that for granted."
"I'm the one who should be grateful Sakura-chan. You could have any guy you want." Before he could say more, she put her finger on his lips.
"I don't want any guy. I don't want Sasuke, I don't want Lee, I only want you. Now, if you insist on using your mouth for anything, use it to get me moaning."
Naruto smiled and dove down to her chest, surprising her by taking a nipple between his lips and teasing her with his mouth. Sakura gasped, enjoying the new feeling of Naruto suckling her bosom. She put one hand on his head as to encourage him to keep doing it, and her other hand on his to keep it on her neglected breast. Naruto's free hand in turn went down and tugged at her shorts in an attempt to remove them. Once she felt his actions, she used both of her own hands to help him, and became devoid of all covering except for him and her headband.
Once she was naked, Sakura pulled away from Naruto, taking herself out of his mouth. Smiling, she turned around and got herself on all fours, her rear end pointing to him with a little wiggle to it. "Let's try this way this time."
"This way?" Naruto repeated confused. While the others had been able to inform him properly about sex, they had failed to inform him about the possible positions it could be done in. With his experience with Hinata and Sakura, he knew there was missionary and cowgirl positions, or as he called them, boy-on-top and girl-on-top, but he was unfamiliar with doggy style position.
"Yeah, it's just like the other times, but a new position. C'mon big boy, give me what you've got." She replied, putting more emphasis in her wiggle a bit at the end.
Having no reason to refute, Naruto grabbed her hips and positioned himself properly, making sure she was physically ready for his entrance. Once satisfied, he thrust himself in all the way to the hilt in one go, making Sakura moan with satisfaction. The position felt weird to Naruto, but at the same time it felt easier to thrust in and out, and in no hope he was practically humping her like a wild animal.
And Sakura completely loved it. "Yes! More! I want more!" Her tail wrapped around Naruto's waist to keep him close to her.
With him pulled closer, Naruto leaned forward and grasped her shoulders, holding them as if they were handlebars for him. This forced Sakura's wings to flatten due to his weight on her back. "Are you ready to cum?" He whispered in her ear.
"Not yet, I want more." She told him, closer than she wanted to admit to climaxing but she wanted this to last longer.
He moved his hands from her shoulders back to her breasts, cupping them tightly. "How's this for you?"
That pushed the pinkette over the edge. She climaxed and tightened up so much on Naruto it felt like she was trying to squeeze the life out of his penis. Instead it squeezed out Naruto's own climax and was given a flood of his cum that filled her insides.
The two fell on the ground, breathing heavily and feeling satisfied and exhausted at the same time. After a bit, Sakura turned around to face him while they laid there and recovered, neither in a hurry to get back just yet.
"Took you long enough." Ino said when Naruto and Sakura returned. "Were you trying to fly around the world?"
"Naw, saving that for later. Just getting used to the basics, including landing." Sakura answered, which wasn't a complete lie. Even here, she felt like she came close to crashing and was currently dusting herself off again. "Birds make it look so easy."
"Who's that?" Naruto asked, seeing someone new around by Hinata and Ayame. It was a man, one with dark purple hair and pale skin, wearing a fancy blue outfit Naruto couldn't begin to describe. Judging by the look on the girls, they weren't exactly comfortable with this man around but couldn't make him leave by force.
The man saw him and went up to Naruto with a smile. "Ah, so the incubus has finally arrived." At close proximity they could only conclude he was an elf of some kind.
"My name is Naruto, not incubus." The blonde replied, annoyed.
"Of course sir, pardon my rudeness. My name is Anton, and I've been sent to welcome you and your mother here."
"Mom's a bit busy at the moment." Naruto mentioned.
"So I've been told. In that case, would you like a tour of the castle and to see the ones who are excited to meet you?" Anton offered.
Naruto felt uneasy about the offer, mostly because Hinata and Ayame still looked like they didn't want the guy to be around. "I'd rather wait until Mom comes back."
"Nonsense my boy, you're old enough to be a man and have clearly taken at least two mates, you don't need your mother to hold your hand for you anymore." Anton insisted.
"No, but I am unfamiliar with everything here and would not want to make the wrong first impression. I am waiting for Mom to come back." Naruto said, crossing his arms to reinforce the finality of his claim.
Anton looked a bit bothered but not impatient or offended. "Sir, the people inside request to meet you now, and they are not someone you can refuse."
"Too bad, because they have no authority over me. I don't have to jump when they say jump."
"Be reasonable boy, these are not people you want to offend." Anton insisted.
"Then you definitely want Mom here to make sure I don't offend them by accident." Naruto said, then started to walk away.
Before he could get away, Anton grabbed Naruto's arm. "Boy, please reconsider."
Sakura frowned, immediately taking this as a threat to Naruto. Her mate had specifically said he didn't want to accept the man's offer, and yet the elf dared to try and force Naruto to comply? She had hurt people in past for being less rude to Sasuke, so there was no way in hell she was going to let this man get away with it.
"Get away from him!" She yelled, thrusting out her hand in order grab Anton's arm and force him to release Naruto.
Instead, there was a flash of light that engulfed Anton and sent him flying, all while leaving Naruto unharmed and where he still was.
"Whoa, what the heck was that?" Moegi asked, impressed and confused just like everyone else there.
All eyes were on Sakura, and she in turn pulled back her hand and looked at it like it was something she had never seen before. "Did I do that? But how? That was no jutsu I knew."
"We should go find Mom, she should know what that was." Naruto offered, and Sakura nodded.
Kushina at the moment was in shock. When the medics said there had been a complication with Tayuya, she had hoped they meant that their methods simply hadn't been having an effect on removing the curse mark.
To her surprise, they had proven very effective, but unfortunately there had been a rather disturbing side effect.
'This can't be happening. Not to her.' Kushina told herself, finding it hard to accept this and knowing it had to be worse for Tayuya herself.
"Geez Sis, with the way you're acting you'd swear you were the one with these things." Tayuya said as she walked up to her sister figure.
"You shouldn't be up Yaya-chan." Kushina offered.
"Are you kidding? I can finally walk after weeks of not being able to. No fucking way I'm staying in a bed." The former Oto kunoichi said while stretching her legs.
"But... but look what's happened to you. This is all my fault." Kushina replied.
Tayuya rolled her eyes. "Oh please, is that's what got you eating lemons? Kushina, this isn't your fault. You didn't put that mark on me, you didn't force me to accept medical help, and you didn't do the doctors work. This is in no way your fault, so stop looking for a damn reason to blame yourself."
"You can't tell me you like this." Kushina complained.
"What, this?" Tayuya asked back, holding out her left arm which was the same brown as her level two curse form and sported sharper nails. "It's nothing to worry about, just some discoloration as a side effect."
"What if it's not a mere discoloation Tayuya? The doctors said your mark is gone but your body... both your forms may be merging into one. How is this an improvement? If anything it's like keeping it permanently active."
"I can deal with not being the most photogenic person in the world Kushina. At least this way I have my freedom." Tayuya replied, scratching an itch under her hair. "Eh, looks like I might end up keeping the horns. Could be worse."
"Worse? You could spend the rest of your life looking like an oni." Kushina pointed out.
"You have wings and a tail and can make chains pop out of your body just like this one guy I knew did with his own bones. And let's not forget your son who's got two out of three of those. If you can live with those changes to your body-"
"Do you know how difficult it was to adapt? To accept these?" Kushina asked, standing up and showing her wings. "When I changed, I had no idea who I was anymore. What I was anymore. And being taken to this world, taken away from everything and everyone I knew and forced into fights that were not mine just to get back that. For what was six years here and twelve years back home."
Tayuya put her hand on Kushina's shoulders. "Things are different here Kushina. I've already had these features so they're not new to me. And I won't be alone here. Trust me, you're worrying about nothing."
"And if it gets worse? What if you lose your mind to this too?" Kushina asked.
Tayuya sighed. "If it ever looks like I'm becoming a monster and cannot be helped, then do me a favor and kill me."
The Uzumaki woman gasped. "No! Absolutely not!"
"Even if it looks like I might kill your son?" Tayuya tested.
Kushina had no idea what to say to that.
