"There's a least twenty of them Milady. They have all gathered together and are on their way here. I estimate it'll be about three minutes," Katsuyu reported since Tsunade had left several of her summon's clones along the path they had traveled. As a result they were more than aware that the man tasked with guarding their exit from Lightning Country intended to insure they never left.
"Twenty huh," Tsunade said sounding calm despite the concern the number gave her, "That number was always unlucky for us Senju."
Naruto stepped up behind her saying, "You suspected this? That's why we used the cruise to enter the country and are taking our time going back."
Tsunade turned towards her lover as she admitted, "I figured it was always in the cards. The last few times my Great Uncle traveled in these lands it didn't end very well for him. It seems someone wishes for history to repeat itself."
"Say the word and I can have us back to Konoha in…"
"No, better we confront this head-on then to scurry back to Konoha with our tails between our legs," Tsunade said taking her green jacket off.
"Alright, I'll…"
"Do nothing, my love," Tsunade said cutting him off and smiled at the face he made.
"Not going to happen," Naruto said defiantly.
"My Love, please let me take care of this. I want to show you my strength," Tsunade said turning to face her lover.
"I've never questioned your strength," Naruto replied earnestly.
"I know, but the only time you've truly seen me fight. I put on such a miserable display. Please let me do this."
Naruto relented but said, "Fine, but don't bite off more than you can chew. Twenty jounin is a tall order for anyone, even a Senju Princess."
Tsunade smiled turning just as the Kumo-nin began to appear and spotting one of the men that had escorted her to first meet the Raikage said, "Fancy seeing you again. Did I forget something back in Kumo?"
Shii narrowed his eyes as he replied, "Just like your ancestor you're going to regret entering Lightning." Flashing through several handsigns a light began to emanate from Shii temporarily blinding the Hokage. However, she nonetheless managed to avoid being decapitated by a pair of Kumo-nin that launched themselves from behind the glowing man. She was able to do this in thanks to Katsuyu riding on her shoulder and in her smallest form, who having naturally poor eye sight could only truly tell the difference between light and dark. As a result, she could easily see the two dark spots approaching through the light. Warning Tsunade of such, the Hokage ducked beneath the men's blades. Both men surprised at missing were caught unprepared as she retaliated. First, by hitting one man in the chest a blow which sent him flying off until a tree caused him to stop upon his hitting it. The other she grabbed by the wrist squeezing it so that he dropped his sword, she then followed up by grabbing the back of his head and slammed his face into the ground.
She blinked the remaining dots from her eyes in order to see the other eighteen Kumo had assembled in order to challenge her. Tsunade cracked her knuckles before asking, "Who's next?"
A kunoichi decided to take be next as she shouted while charging the Hokage. Naruto watched from a nearby tree as his lover effortlessly slipped through a volley of kunai and shuriken thrown by the other Kumo-nin to advance on the woman. He winced as the yell was cut short as a result of Tsunade catching her with a clothesline that sent the woman's body into the air tumbling end over end. Before her body hit the ground though, Tsunade caught the woman by the ankle and tossed her at another man who had decided to be follow in the kunoichi wake. He gasped audibly when the Kunoichi hit him in the stomach causing him to fold around her.
Shii decided to join in at that point leaping at Tsunade with his hands glowing as he used his medical ninjutsu as a weapon. For a moment Naruto flashed back to the fight with Kabuto, but it was only an instant since Tsunade avoided a swipe at her neck with the chakra scalpel. Her counter unlike with the others so far was hardly devastating as she simply chopped his neck. Shii jumped away and upon landing behind her asked, "What's the matter feeling your age?"
Tsunade smirked not even bothering to look back as instead she focused on the remaining Kumo-nin while replying, "Don't worry, you'll feel it soon enough."
Shii frowned and launched himself at her shouting, "Don't underestimate me."
However mid-way through his jump it became apparent that Shii's body stopped working, at least how he expected it too. The man landed in a heap, and from the way he twitched about Naruto had the impression that his body wasn't moving how his mind was telling it too.
"That should keep you occupied for a while," Tsunade replied before deciding to finish the fight once and for all. Biting her thumb, she pressed her hand to the ground and summoned Katsuyu fully. Smiling from her perch on the slug's head she said, "Let's finish this."
"Yes, milady," the Slug replied before splitting into millions of smaller slugs that spread out over the forest like a tidal wave. The small slugs stuck to all the Kumo shinobi present joining back together and trapping inside the larger slugs that formed as a result. The Kumo-nin tried to resist but soon found themselves drifting off to sleep as the mucus of the slugs induced sleep.
Naruto dropped down and smiled at his lover asking, "Feeling redeemed?"
Tsunade smiled with a nod and allowed Naruto to place her jacket back over her shoulders. She gripped one of his hands causing him to ask, "What now?"
"I don't know," Tsunade admitted, "I suppose we'll have to deliver them to the Raikage."
"That might not be necessary," Katsuyu said in her soft manner, "It appears the Raikage is on his way here, and in a hurry."
*****************************
Mabui stood in front of the mirror in her bedroom as she applied some make-up. Adding lipstick to her lips, she thought back to the week previous when she along with the other shinobi the Raikage had summoned to stop Shii had come across Naruto and Tsunade.
The two Konoha-nin were obviously prepared for the encounter to get violent, but the Raikage tried to put them at ease as he said, "I'm glad to see you both unharmed. I assure you that this was not a sanctioned action."
/]
[/"Yes, your man has made that quite clear," Tsunade said pointing towards a tree showing that Shii was still alive and tied to its trunk.
/]
[/Mabui was aware that Yugito was concealing the concern she felt for the two, but detected a note of anger as she asked, "What should we do with these fools?"
/]
[/"Their fates are in the Hokage's hands," the Raikage said. Lowering his head he said, "I ask that you treat this as…"
/]
[/"Don't do it, Lord Raikage," Shii shouted angrily. "Do not shame yourself in front of this thing of Konoha on my account. I knew that my actions could only end with my death, but I won't have your name stained in an attempt to spare me. You already needed to do it once to save Yugito."
/]
[/The Raikage had looked at his solider and after looking at the others could see it was a sentiment shared by many of his subordinates present. Remembering Tsunade's words in his office about how the lie of the Hyuuga Incident had left lasting scars. He could now see them present among his own forces. By allowing the lie to exist it had cast the victims of his plot as the villains and this in turn had allowed some of his best and brightest to believe they were acting with justice on their side in their attempt to kill the Hokage. Actions that now could and normally would end with their deaths.
/]
[/The Raikage aware that his silence was what had led to this moment had shocked all those present as he admitted, "Shii you idiot, you're wrong. I was the one that ordered the kidnapping attempt against the Hyuuga."
/]
[/Shii looked shocked whispering, "No…"
/]
[/"It's true. Our analysts came to the conclusion that the Third Hokage was desperate to forge alliances and would try to forgo war in almost all instances. Not a hard thing to imagine considering his entire life was spent fighting. That a generation of our children has grown almost to adulthood without knowing the truths of war is due in no small part to his efforts. Therefore, Gashira approached me with a plan to get our hands on the Byakugan using his desires against him. He even took into account how we could turn things in our favor if he failed. What we failed to account for was Hizashi Hyuuga and his love for his brother. Even though we knew that it was not Hiashi that we received, we couldn't call Konoha on their deception lest we take the chance on our own duplicity being uncovered. Therefore, we let the matter drop." The Raikage paused as his shinobi stared at him. He turned to face Tsunade as he asked; "Only it didn't, did it Lady Hokage?" Tsunade didn't respond so he beseeched the kunoichi, "Lady Hokage, please…"
/]
[/Tsunade turned from him cutting him off as she said, "Lord Raikage, I don't know why you're asking me anything. These men's lives are yours to do with what you want. I suppose I should thank you for the demonstration, it's been ages since I've been able to cut loose like that."
/]
[/"Demonstration," The Raikage repeated with an air of disbelief.
/]
[/Tsunade didn't stop walking as she called back, "On Kumo pursuit and capture tactics." She looked over her shoulder with a small smile as she added, "Unless, that is you don't feel the need to report this incident. I believe in this case a little white lie might be appropriate as it would be a shame to see such spirited youths have their lives or careers marred by stupid actions." She directed her gaze to Shii who looked down in shame as she added, "Especially since it would mean the lessons learned here today wouldn't spread."
/]
[/Tsunade turned away causing the Raikage to bow his head towards her in thanks. Mabui's own gaze though was locked solidly on Naruto's back. However she noticed Yugito staring at him also as the woman was the closest one to the leaving Konoha-nin. For a moment Mabui had seen an image of Yugito walking with them as well and suddenly felt a strong desire to chase after them. However, it faded to reveal that Yugito was still standing on the path. When she turned though, there was no mistaking why she wore such a proud smile.
Mabui finished applying her lipstick and stepped back to look at herself in the mirror. She wondered briefly what Naruto would think before stepping out of her bedroom. Walking into her living room, she stood and faced the last place she had seen the young man when he had made his promise to prove himself to her. She then channeled her chakra into the temporary seal that Yugito had revealed to her when she had asked how the jinchuriki would contact her lover. A moment later, Naruto appeared and his eyes widened in surprise as they traveled up and down her body.
She felt emboldened when it became apparent that he liked what he saw, which was her dressed in a green lingerie corset with matching panties and sheer stockings. His eyes stopped drinking in her appearance to meet hers and with a smile he asked, "Not that I complaining, but considering our last conversation why such a warm welcome?"
Mabui smiled shyly not sure what to say, but managed to reply, "Considering you said then that you would prove to me your sincerity I felt it fitting. I'm actually surprised you haven't visited me in order to say that you have."
Naruto looked confused and asked, "What are you talking about? I've been racking my brains all week to come up with a way to prove myself."
Mabui looked shocked as she said, "B-but what… I mean what with happened with Shii and the others and how you spared them."
Naruto chuckled as he said, "Oh that…I didn't have anything to do with that. Tsunade was the one who decided to let the matter drop. To be honest, I think she didn't want me fighting them because I probably wouldn't have been as gentle as she was. They were threatening a woman I loved after all."
"S-she's aligned with you though isn't she?"
"Well yeah," Naruto said with a shrug, "But that doesn't mean I'm behind everything she does. She isn't a machine that I've programed to act a certain way. She just believes in our dream as much as I do." He turned his back towards her and she wondered why at least until he said, "But don't worry. I'll find a way to prove my own intentions are just as honorable."
Mabui realized that he wasn't looking at her due to her misunderstanding his role in what had happened with Shii. As a result, she figured that he thought it probably wasn't proper of him to look at her in her current state of dress. He waved at her without looking back telling her that he'd be back when he thought he had. This time Mabui gave in to the desire to chase after him that she felt, quickly closing the distance and spun him around. He looked worried he had upset her at least until she sealed her lips to his a light kiss. Naruto's arms wrapped around her waist and when the kiss ended he whispered, "I'm not really sure I deserve that."
Mabui smiled gently before answering, "I have it on good authority that you do." She then kissed him again and this time put her desire to be held in the same regard as his other lovers into it. Naruto responded to that desire as the kiss grew more passionate. Their tongues began to dance as they tried to get their faces and bodies even closer together.
Mabui ended the kiss able to practically still feel the connection to him through the thin strand of saliva that connected them. Her eyes grew hooded as her lust began to take over. But before she could once more taste his lips again, Naruto bent over and picked her up in his arms. He looked around the large apartment and not finding what he sought looked down at the woman in his arms. Mabui got the hint and nodded her head in the direction of her bedroom.
Naruto carried her in his arms making her feel safe and needed in a way she hadn't even known how badly she wanted. He placed her down gently on the bed before stepping back to divest himself of his jacket and shirt. Mabui licked her lips as his athletic torso appeared and cooed happily as he joined her on the bed to pick-up where they had left off. She ran her hands over his warm body as they made out heavily. His hands were also busy traveling over her frame as well. She sensed him preparing to end the kiss so surprised him by rolling him onto his back and straddling him. She sat back to stare at him feeling his hardness press against her through the clothes they both still wore and felt that his eyes were simply reflecting the same desire she felt so began to kiss down his body.
She tongued his belly button upon reaching it as she slid down his body before stopping when her face reached his tented pants. Placing a hand on his clothed dick she gave it a squeeze as she said, "It's hard to believe this gave me so much pleasure, but I've never actually seen it." She unbuckled his pants slowly in order to build her excitement. His tented boxers appeared next after she pulled down his zipper and noticing the stain that appeared around the tip said, "It appears I'm not the only one getting excited at the unveiling." She then kissed his tip before sucking his boxer clad dick into her mouth. She made sure to bathe his cockhead with her tongue as she tried to suck the precum from his shorts. When she pulled away Naruto noticed the lipstick mark where her lips had been.
Mabui suddenly pulled his boxers down exposing his cock to her eyes and stared at it in wonder. Kissing the tip again, she then slid her mouth down his length until he hit the back of her throat. Pulling back up, she plunged down again increasing her pace until she was soon working her mouth furiously up and down his raging hard-on. Naruto groaned as he buried both hands in her white hair as he delighted in the blowjob. As she pleased him orally, he slipped his legs out of his pants and once free, spread his legs to give her more room to work.
Naruto felt the urge to cum begin to appear so pulled her mouth from his cock. She tried to resist him having a desire to taste his seed, but Naruto managed to pull her face towards his as he sat up to occupy her mouth with his own. As they kissed, he pulled her corset down to expose her breast and began to pinch and tease one of her nipples. Mabui moaned into his mouth and allowed him to pull her up the bed towards him. He laid her down on her back before moving down her body similarly to how she had to him moments before stopping to bathe her tits in attention. Mabui's hands became entangled in his hair and after several minutes he felt a slight pressure encouraging him to move down.
Naruto took the hint so moved between her legs easily able to see her arousal through the soaked panties. He sucked her pussy through them for a moment eliciting a cry of pleasure from his newest lover. Wanting to drink directly from her nether spring, he pushed her legs up into the air so he could slowly peel her panties away. Once she was free of them, he brought the soaked silken material to his nose and gave them a deep sniff. His dick lurched and he nearly lost control in order to just bury it inside of her. However, he quickly restored his composure and after kissing her thighs on each side buried his face in her cunnie.
As he ate her out, he placed a hand on her pelvis and dragged his fingers through the trimmed stripe of white fur that lead to her pussy. As his tongue probed her insides, his index finger began lightly flicking her clit back and forth causing Mabui to gasp and spread her legs further. Naruto pressed his mouth harder against her folds causing the kunoichi to moan, "Ooooooohhhhhh you're so good at that."
Naruto smiled thinking along the lines of how practice made perfect, but kept his comment to his self. Instead, he began to work his tongue over her clit while burying two fingers inside of her and worked them in and out. Under the onslaught, he quickly brought Mabui to climax and drank down his reward as she came hard.
As she recovered, he laid her on her right side and lifting her left leg began to feed his one-eyed snake into her slick and ready hole after lying behind her. Mabui groaned in post orgasm discomfort as she felt her pussy being spread to accommodate the intruder, but as she became more and more aware she began to work her hips to meet his thrusts. She looked over her shoulder and planted her lips to his tasting herself as they slowly rocked against each other.
As their tongues wrestled against one another, Mabui reached down and alternated between rubbing her pussy and the shaft currently sliding in and out of it. Naruto used the hand holding her leg up to spread her legs further apart as he began to pound her harder and faster. Mabui responded by reaching down further and rubbing his nuts in an effort to get them to shoot their load. Trying to get his seed as deep as possible, he rolled them over onto his back where he used his hands to pull her knees back and used his legs to thrust his cock inside of her as deeply as he could.
"Yes," Mabui began moaning as she pushed against the headboard of her bed to push her body into his thrust. "Oh my gods" she shouted, "keep it up I'm almost there."
"So am I," Naruto said, letting one of her legs go to play with her clit. Mabui tensed immediately and came as soon as her womb was flooded with the warmth of his release.
Naruto clung to her as they basked in the afterglow of their shared release. Naruto rolled them over onto their sides again with his semi-hard cock still buried inside of her. Although the urge to sleep was overpowering she asked, "Naruto, what's the plan for after?"
"After?"
"After you make your ambition a reality."
He pulled her tighter against him and tiredly whispered, "We'll worry about that when we get there I suppose."
Mabui was about to say she meant for him and his other lovers of which she was now including herself, for she feared once his goal was finished he wouldn't need them. But her concerns died on her lips as he kissed her cheek as he added, "I suppose it won't matter though, since so long as I have you and the others in my life any goal we set for ourselves should easily be able to be met." Mabui melted into him after that as she let his warmth lull her into sleep and found herself dreaming of things she had never considered possible before.
