The smell as he finally made his way into the kitchen was something truly special, spectacular! Although the sight at the table made his stomach drop. That nervous, fretful look Chocho wore had a way of making her discomfort contagious. The servants caught it, Hanabi caught it, and as he caught it the dining room continued to carry a silence so tense just the sound of his footsteps made him wince.

"Well, you finally catch your breath?" Sasuki fearlessly asked, her coy tone loud around the quiet table. Naruto smiled awkwardly, meeting her eyes but bouncing them away fast enough to lock with his wife, trying to look assuring. She at least grinned back, until Sasuki spoke again. "What were you so conked out on the pleasure that you fell back asleep?" she asked with a tone that was as sultry and haughty as it was painful.

Chocho certainly looked upset by it, doubly so when his raven lifted a thick sausage on a fork and slowly slid it past her lips, groaning in pleasure before taking her bite.

"Sasuki, come on, let's not talk like that, especially in front of people?" he nodded towards Hanabi at that, and it seemed to embarrass the Uchiha just a little. She didn't mimic fellatio again with the rest of her sausage, if nothing else. All the same, he hurried to change the subject. "The tower is doing great; it hasn't fallen over yet!" he exclaimed, looking and speaking at both the beauties at the table.

Chocho smiled brightly.

Sasuki just hummed.

"Got almost two hundred more undead made too!" he added, having much the opposite effect. That is, Sasuki perked up further while his wife's grin struggled not to fall away. It was for his wife he added the latter point. "So I don't think anything short of divine damnation will be able to hurt you out there in the forest, you know, if you ever have to run from town,"

"The king's men certainly could. Even the Uchiha's standing forces almost certainly could," she rebutted dryly. "This is good progress, but there's still a long way to go,"

"I mean, I know you know a lot more about army stuff than me, but I think all those fangfolk would make even traveling through the woods a fucking nightmare," he dared argue.

"Oh they would, if our enemy approached with an army and not an elite team of some sort," she remarked. "But it doesn't matter if we bleed off half the army if the army still outnumbers us a thousand to one afterwards,"

"Is all this talk about armies coming after us really…. breakfast conversation?" Chocho dared to pipe up, eyes unsure as her head nodded again towards the little girl at the table. Hanabi's expression hadn't changed at the chatter, though that meant it was still an uncomfortable grimace she had when he entered.

Still, Sasuki rolled her eyes.

"Hanabi is highborn; she's more than accustomed to talk of power and politics. More than a simple, rich, ffffrightened commoner, like you," she bit back.

"Sasuki, come on, Chocho's right, we should stop, Hanabi doesn't need to hear theoretical talk about bad people coming after us," he dared push, earning a damning glare that lingered as she stared directly at him. "B-besides there are lighter subjects to speak of, right? You found a few tournaments to compete in, yeah?"

"Three. Four if we can find a safe way to take Sakura out over the ocean," she replied, tone terse, but not hostile. She even cracked a small, smug grin at her idiot's next words. The eagerness in his eyes made it hard not to.

"Awesome! And you really think you can win all of them?" he asked.

"With Sakura and you? Yes, absolutely," she assured.

"Awesome!" he echoed. "Wait, what do you mean with me? I don't fight. Not particularly well…"

"You can take a hit and hold a spear," she countered, taking some sadistic joy in the way he squirmed. "Besides, we need you there anyway, making sure we're all healed up between battles; you might as well help us fight in the group events too,"

"That's…. fuck, I can't argue with that," he admitted. "When does our boat leave?"

"Not for a long damn time. Our first stop is Silverson; it's faster to just walk there. It shouldn't take a week and the woods are safe enough for all of us, even you little lady~" she added, locking eyes with Hanabi and making hers go wide as dinner plates with astonishment!

"Wait wait wait, I'm coming on this trip too?!" the child asked, hunching over the table so far that she nearly sullied her clothes on the untouched breakfast. "Really!?"

"Really," Sasuki replied simply, ignoring the concerned looks around her. "It's important people, especially highborn folks, see that you're our friend and not our hostage," her voice lowered at the next bit. "Besides that, your sister would be quite handy to have watching our backs at night,"

"Well, I might be a little lonely without little sister, but I'm glad you're looking forward to the trip," Chocho spoke, a remarkable grin on her own face, one heavy with relief that made Naruto feel just a little less guilty about leaving. Chocho was unnerved by the knowledge of Hinata since the moment she'd learned it, even having never seen the specter to her husband's knowledge. It wasn't so bad when he was here, she claimed. It was when she was all alone in the dark of her bedroom, trying to sleep while knowing that a powerful, unstable entity could be anywhere in the house that she was truly scared.

It worked out well that Hinata was leaving with him this time.

Hanabi's happiness was rather heartwarming too.

The little girl was going to have such a blast watching them fight, he already knew, Sasuki especially. How well she'd handle the travel was another question. One that he even voiced.

"Are we going to get a cart or anything then?"

"Most of our route won't have a road, not to mention the cost of parking it; it's better if we don't," Sasuki explained. "It's not like Sakura will have any trouble carrying a week's rations or a young child,"

"I'm pretty sure I can carry a week's rations on my back; I've had a fair bit of practice," he joked, earning a smile from his raven and a loving laugh from his wife. Unfortunately, that caught Sasuki's attention. She made a point of looking right at Chocho as she spoke again.

"We're not leaving today though, Sakura and I could both use a little rest, a little fun," she made Naruto yelp in punctuation, one hand groping him at his most vulnerable digit. That took his little lamb's smile. His too, actually, he even grabbed her hand and pulled it off of his hardening cock while he stared with pleading eyes. "I'm going to go enjoy a proper, hot bath. Naruto, meet me there in half an hour," she demanded, standing and strolling off without waiting for a response.

Chocho said nothing, but she did push in her empty plate and start to shuffle off soon after.

Naruto felt it critical to follow after her, hurrying along to catch up but not saying anything until they were safely inside their shared bedroom. The room wasn't all that huge, though the bed was and dominated most of the space. With a dark red set of sheets that matched the curtains on their small window and just a few other basic bits of furniture to hold things.

He found his eyes lingering on the glossy little lamb statue that stood on their nightstand, a special order he'd made with damaged or imperfect pearls making the bump of it's wooly body. The gemstones he'd used to propose not so long ago. Of course, the soft sniffling of his actual little lamb quickly captured his undivided attention and sent him flying to her side.

"Chocho I'm so sorry I-"

"-it's okay Naruto," she cut him off, even as her voice struggled for stability. "I know that you… you've not seen her in weeks and known her longer and that you were with her first and that she's your priority and I'm just-"

"-Chocho no, stop with that, please," he begged, boring his gaze into her face even as she still didn't meet his eyes. "I don't prioritize her or care more about her; I just love her, and I love you," he assured, getting her to at least glance up at him and summoning no small amount of relief at it. "This isn't okay; Sasuki shouldn't antagonize you like this and I'm going to tell her that, talk this over with her," he promised.

"You really love me?" she asked, breaking his heart with the doubt in her big golden eyes.

"Yes, I love you Chocho. I'm so glad that you're my wife," he assured, daring to raise a hand and palm her plump cheek. The way she pressed into it was another staggering source of relief. When the silence lingered long enough, and he realized he'd been staring at her in silence for some time, he opted to slowly lean in.

She hummed happily into the kiss.

Still, she made a noise of protest, turning her face away as his strong arms enveloped her, as he began pulling her down to lie with him.

"N-naruto do you have time for this?"

"I've got nothing but time for you today," he whispered into her ear, making a shudder run down the length of his spine. "I'm going to be gone tomorrow and won't see you again for who knows how long? Do you have any idea how much I'll miss you? Miss waking up with your perfect pillow of a body on this incredible bed you bought?"

Her lips parted, but no words were summoned despite her efforts. Just as well, Naruto was happy to resume, to put his lips back to her and groan his gratitude for the privilege of doing so. Nothing he said was untrue, but moreover, he desperately didn't want to leave her for months on such a sour note.

He had to make sure she felt adored.

Had to make sure she knew how much he adored her, rather. With that in mind, he worshipped her body as best he could with his hands, slowly stroking her soft hips, starting by pushing up her dress and putting his hand just above her knee. It was so wonderfully soft, and it only grew larger and better as he trailed up her thigh, taking only a faint touch of her bum before getting back to her hips and pulling her firmly against him once more.

Her nightgown was getting so scrunched and screwed up by the groping. A part of her worried about that, Naruto said how much he liked the simple light-red garment more than once, but it was just a little too tight on her body. A constant reminder of her stature and a nagging fear of ripping clothes like a cow all rolled into one. Worries that weighed on her so much more whenever she saw that fit, toned warrior lady that her husband grew up with. These anxieties were alleviated somewhat when one steady hand moved to the other side of her hips and slid it up from that side as well.

Then a whole other fear sprouted as he seemed to pull back, but it fell away just as fast.

The awe in his eyes as her garment came up over her head, and he simply looked at her…

It was embarrassing how he stared so long, but it was impossible to deny his deep appreciation for her naked body, and that made her heart jump, hammering like a drum in her ears. Though, she technically wasn't naked yet. The simple bottoms she wore covered her womanhood and the little bush above, but nothing else covered her body; bras had always been uncomfortable and Naruto wasn't shy in his opinion she looked far sexier without them.

Especially in the nightgown.

Especially especially naked! Those huge round breasts were nothing short of divine, treasures to be cherished, salivating as he let his eyes linger, still only barely touching her along the sides. The way she trembled and averted her eyes and blushed like mad was just too fucking cute. It was fun to go slow with her, even if his cock was throbbing in anticipation. Besides, there was a point to be made this time, going slow with her.

With that in mind, he dipped a hand into her panties first, gently tracing her snatch as the other came up to heft a boob, appreciating the weight and the softness. An action he repeated as he leaned in to gently kiss them for as long as he could endure. From there he pressed harder into them as he pressed her back to the bed, soon lying on top of her and sucking on them sensually.

All the while, the hand in her panties grew more aggressive. His wife went from a wheezing, whiny mess to actually crying out in pleasure and calling out his name as three fingers made it to the second knuckle; she was getting close, and then he stopped. Gods, the way her needy little whine reponded so automatically to this made him grin.

Gods the way her eyes widened in that way when he propped up just enough to take his cock out! She made no protest as he lined up with her and managed a flustered smile when he locked his eyes back with her. Though her mouth quickly parted as he sank in, filling her with every inch of his cock!

Her hands clasped his back, and alternated between digging her nails in and pulling them out in that way she did, like she was afraid to rake them across his skin. Like she was embarrassed to grip him that way. As if it mattered to him. The snatch below was the grip that really counted, choking his cock and keeping his smile wide as they slowly moved together, climbing towards their orgasms until it clenched with such force that he couldn't even move!

She was already so close, and as her orgasm began to shriek out of her mouth he sealed it with a hard kiss! It was so delicious to swallow her moans as he came, as he filled her, and resting together afterwards with a set of tired, sloppy kissing was delightful as well. For two minutes or more they just lay together enjoying the post-coital bliss.

Chocho worried when he began to pull off but smiled as he only lay beside her, playing with her breasts as he stared lovingly at her.

As he said, today, there was all the time in the world for her.
