Chapter 22 - 39 (2)

"Damnit I let myself to get distracted, but still, nobody told me that he had that thing, nobody!"

Cursing her luck and their poor Intel, Kurotsuchi decided to make the best of the situation and tried to capture Naruto again with her Sekkaigyō. Naruto although was ready for this and used the Raijin no Ken to spilt the ball of lime in half, causing it fly pass him. After which he then leapt into the air and attempted to slash Kurotsuchi again, but missed and instead cut the branch she had been standing on before jumping into another tree.

This continued for several minutes as Naruto chased after the girl, leaping from one tree to the next. Kurotsuchi tried to fight back or force Naruto back with several different Earth, Water and Fire Ninjutsu. But none of her attacks were strong enough to stop him, as Naruto cut through them all with the Raijin no Ken.

At the same time Naruto made several attempts to capture the older girl by using the same electrical ring technique that Aoi had used in their fight. Sadly the technique proved more difficult than Naruto had expected and instead released several blasts of Lightning at Kurotsuchi, forcing the girl to seek cover each time.

Eventually Kurotsuchi was able to put some distance between her and Naruto by throwing several flash bombs into his face, blinding him temporarily. Shortly after, Kurotsuchi made her way to a large clearing in the forest, where she planned to set a trap for the Senju heir.

As she expected, it didn't take Naruto long to locate her, where he jumped off the tree he had appeared on and landed in the middle of the clearing.

"Decided to give up?" Naruto asked, although remained alert at the same time, expecting some sort of trap.

The question of course received a snort from Kurotsuchi, "Hardly, but you should."

"Oh and why's that?" asked Naruto, slowly making his way towards her, leaving only a few meters between them.

"This!" replied the girl, forming a signal hand sign and shouted "Doton: Doryūsō (Earth Style: Earth Flow Spears)!" causing several Earth spears to shoot out of the ground.

Thanks to his quick reactions, which he developed from years of bombardment training with his mother, Naruto was able evade the Earth spears easily enough. But as he continued to avoid the Earth spikes he noticed that Kurotsuchi was driving him to a specific location in the clearing with her Earth spikes.

Fearing that he was being led into a trap, Naruto began to form hand seals for a Jutsu, but just as he had finished the last hand sign, Kurotsuchi activated the exploding notes that she had hidden underneath the ground, causing them to explode right underneath Naruto.

Keeping her guard up, Kurotsuchi waited for the smoke from the explosion to die down, knowing that Naruto could easily be waiting for her to lower her guard.

When the smoke finally dissipated she saw Naruto in the centre of a small crater, lying face down on the ground, motionless. Wanting to make sure that she had actually killed him this time, the young Kunoichi cautiously made her way over the blonde and went to check his pulse. Feeling nothing she let out a sigh of relief and smiled, but the moment she had done this, "Naruto" exploded into a shower of leaves, which quickly began to circle around her like a whirlwind.

Surprised by what had happened, it took her a moment to realise that she had been caught in a Genjutsu.

Knowing what she needed to do, Kurotsuchi used the Genjutsu Kaitechnique to disrupt the illusion, causing it to fade away. Moments after cancelling the illusion she saw Naruto appear out of the tree line, charging straight at her with the Raijin no Ken in hand.

Acting fast Kurotsuchi raced through several hand seals and shouted "Doton: Doryūsō!" creating another Earth spike out of the ground, directly in front of Naruto, forcing him to stop. At the same time three more spikes appeared out of the ground and surrounded him, trapping him in between them.

"Gotcha!" thought the girl before she watched Naruto fad away right in front of her, at which point she then found the Earth spike surrounding her. Disoriented and confused by how her own attack had been turned against her, Kurotsuchi was left completely open to attack. Before she could understand what had just happened, she found her hands and legs all bound by several dozen vines that sprung out from a small seed underneath her, causing her to fall onto her side.

Kurotsuchi tried to struggle against the vines, but found her strength leaving her. It was then that she realized that the vines were somehow draining her of her Chakra.

At the same time Naruto appeared out from within one of the trees and made his way over to the restrained Iwa Kunoichi. "I wouldn't bother if I were you, as you've already guessed by now, those vines aren't ordinary ones. Once they appear, they latch onto the nearest person to them and wrap themselves around the person, meaning you. The vines then siphon your Chakra and use it to fuel the buds that you see growing on them, filling them with your Chakra and causing them to bloom into flowers, and if that happens, you're dead."

Glaring at Naruto, Kurotsuchi struggled to break free of the vines, but no matter how hard she tried she couldn't, and felt herself getting weaker and weaker with each passing minute.

"I suggest that you stop struggling, the more you do, the faster the vines will drain you of your Chakra."

"Damn you!" snarled the girl, "How did you survive the explosion and turn my attack against me?"

"Simple, right before you activated your exploded notes; I used a Genjutsu to have you detonate the notes prematurely and made you think you'd got me. After which I then had you trap yourself in your own technique"

"But I dispelled your Genjutsu!" Kurotsuchi retorted, but that was when the realization hit her. She had made the false assumption that Naruto had only used one Genjutsu, when in fact he had used two, using the Magen: Nijū Kokoni Arazu no Jutsu (Demonic Illusion: Double False Surroundings Technique), hiding the second Genjutsu in the first. When she dispelled the first Genjutsu, she fell into his second Genjutsu.

Furious with how she fell for such a simple trick, the girl cursed herself over and over again in her head, all the while forgetting about Naruto who was busy contemplating what he would do with the girl.

His first option was to simply kill her, but he quickly pushed aside any such thoughts, not just because he disliked killing. But there was also the fact that she was the Tsuchikage's Granddaughter, killing her had consequences, despite having every right to kill her, given how she was an invader and had tried to kill him. Naruto knew that if he killed her, the Tsuchikage could declare war on Konoha.

His second option was to bring her back to Konoha, where she could be used as a hostage to get Iwa to agree to stop their raids on their borders. But there was no guarantee that would work since he had no idea what type of man the Tsuchikage was, where he could easily back out of the deal once he got her back. There was also a good chance that taking her back to Konoha could escalate matters as well, where the Tsuchikage would send his forces to Konoha to rescue her, causing all out war. He also doubted that she would hold much information that would make it worth holding her, since she was only a Chunin and being the Tsuchikage's Granddaughter did not mean she would possess vital intelligence or secrets.

The third option was to simply knock her out and leave her here for her comrades to collect her. That way they would be too busy dealing with her to come after him, especially since they had already basically failed their mission in capturing him.

After going over his options, Naruto figured the third option seemed the best. Although the second option was the most appealing, there was no guarantee that he would succeed in bringing her back to Konoha by himself, especially with the possibility that the area was still filled with Iwa Shinobi. Carrying her around would slow him down and make it difficult to fight back should he be pursued, and he had no idea when reinforcement from Gōenka would arrive, having sent word to the base by another clone after he first encountered Kurotsuchi and her squad. So leaving her was the best possible option, but even so, Naruto felt he needed to send Iwa a message, so that they would know what happens the next time they would come after him.

When Kurotsuchi saw Naruto take out a Kunai from his utility belt, she immediately assumed the worst. But to her credit she showed no fear and stared back defiantly at her would-be killer.

"Go ahead do it! I'm not going to beg for my life, so get it over with!" But to her surprise, instead of stabbing her with the blade, he used it to cut the vines off her. "What are you doing?! Aren't you going to kill me?!"

To Kurotsuchi's confusion, Naruto just laughed at her question. "Who said anything about killing you? I don't kill unless I have no other choice, and I have already beaten you, so I don't need to kill you. The vines have already absorbed most of your remaining Chakra, so you're no longer a threat to me."

Kurotsuchi just scoffed at this, "You really are a naive little brat, if you believe that! In the Shinobi world it's kill or be killed, that kind softness has no place in it...it makes you weak."

"Maybe, but I'm also a medic and I was taught to value life, and in case you forgot, "this" naive little brat whooped your sorry ass, so what does that say about you?" retorted Naruto, smirking when he saw Kurotsuchi scowl. "Besides, hurting people is easy, anyone can do that...to be great you need to know how to heal people first."

"Huh, and what idiot told you that?!" Kurotsuchi asked with a haunting laugh, which almost immediately ceased with steely gaze from Naruto. "My mother, that's who, and she was told the same thing by her Grandfather, the Shodai Hokage. So you tell me, were they weak idiots for believing in that?"

Kurotsuchi of course said nothing, having no comeback to Naruto's retort, since only a fool would try to deny the strength and skill of the Slug Princess, and only a blind fool would doubt the Shodai Hokage's strength. Even her Grandfather acknowledged the Konoha founder's strength, crediting him as the most powerful Shinobi of his era. Her Grandfather even went on to claim that the Shodai Hokage's prowess in battle was so great that no one living today could match him. Compared to him, or his arch rival Uchiha Madara, all five Kages were nothing more than mere infants.

Kurotsuchi on the other hand remained sceptical at just how powerful the Shodai Hokage was, she didn't that doubt the man was powerful, and was probably the strongest Shinobi of his time. It was just the way her Grandfather went out about the two that made her think that he was over exaggerating their powers, making them seem like ancient gods of battle, or something out of a fairy tale book.

"So if you're not going to kill me, then what do you intend to do?" the girl asked, a question she quickly regretted when she saw a dark sinister looking smile appear on Naruto's face. A smile that was well-known and dreaded by those, (coughJiraiyacough), who knew his mother.

Seeing this smile, the dark haired girl suddenly felt very, very nervous.

After splitting up with Naruto, Kosuke led the perusing Iwa Shinobi on a merry chase around the forest in the hope of buying Naruto more time to warn the base. But after an hour of running through the forest, the Iwa partly finally cornered him by splitting into three separate groups and outflanked him.

Surrounded and with nowhere to run, Kosuke decided to stand his ground and fight, engaging the Iwa-nins in close combat.

Despite being vastly outnumbered, Kosuke was able to hold his own, killing several Shinobi with his short sword. But after killing his eight Shinobi he was forced to jump into the air when an unknown assailant attacked him with an Earth Ninjutsu.

Seeing an opportunity, several of the Iwa Shinobi threw their Kunai at Kosuke, thinking he was helpless in midair. But he quickly proved them wrong when he deflected most of the projectiles with his sword and wok. Sadly a few did hit him, wounding him and causing him to lose his sword before finally crashing into a nearby river.

After falling into the river, Kosuke was immediately assaulted again by the unknown assailant, who used another powerful Earth Ninjutsu in an attempted to bury him under an avalanche of dirt.

Acting fast, Kosuke used the Suijinheki (Water Formation Wall) technique to create a large wall of Water to block the Earth avalanche. But once he was out of the Water, he came under assault again by the Iwa Shinobi using the Iwa Nadare no Jin (Rock Avalanche Formation) to overwhelm him with sheer numbers.

Realizing what they were trying to do Kosuke countered with Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique), which he learned from the Sandaime Hokage, turning one Shuriken into hundreds. With it Kosuke was able to take out the entire group, but before he could even acknowledge what he had done, he suddenly felt his foot being stabbed. Looking down, he saw an Iwa Shinobi emerge from the ground, holding the Kunai that stabbed his foot. But before he could do anything about it, two more Iwa-nins appeared out of the ground and surrounded him. With only seconds to act, Kosuke separated his leg, revealing it to be a prosthetic with a blade hidden inside it. He then used the blade to stab the first Iwa-nin and slash at the other two before jumping away, leaving the prosthetic limb behind which exploded seconds later, killing the three Shinobi.

After landing on the other side of the river, Kosuke fell to his knees, exhausted from fighting so many Shinobi. But his attention soon turned to the tree line on the opposite side of the river, when he heard someone call out to him

"Having trouble, old man?"

Looking up Kosuke saw an Iwa Kunoichi walking towards him. The Kunoichi had long brown-coloured hair which she had tied to form a ball on top of her head, using what appeared to be a knitting-needle, while two large locks with darkened tips frame the remainder of her face. Her attire consists of a short sleeveless dress, which was further adorned by the presence of numerous bandages that encircle various portions of her body, including her waist and thighs. On her back she carried a long Katana that was held up by a length of rope across her right shoulder.

"You sure made it difficult for us, for such an old man."

Anger by the Aotsuchi's words, Kosuke glared at her, "Difficult? Difficult you say?! You sacrificed your own subordinates like they were nothing. Is that your way of doing things?!"

Unaffected by Kosuke's words, Aotsuchi stared back at him with a blank look and replied "If you're ordered to give your life, you obey, simple as that." After which she then began to smile, as if she had done nothing wrong, disgusting Kosuke. "Besides, isn't that what subordinate are supposed to do? Didn't you use your subordinates as a diversion so that you and the boy could escape?"

Upon hearing Aotsuchi's words, Kosuke began to laugh. "The others who stayed behind to by us time to escape weren't my subordinates, they were all Jonin. They did so that Naruto-san and I could escape. I am their subordinate, as I am only a Genin and for your information there isn't a single Shinobi in Konoha who would needless sacrifice the life of a comrade."

"Y-You're telling me that a mere Genin took out my entire unit?" Aotsuchi repeated angrily, furious at the mere suggestion of it. "Ludicrous...the very idea is completely ludicrous!

Slowly drawing her sword from her back, Aotsuchi began to slowly walk towards the elderly man, "Don't think for one second that your death will be quick or painless old man! I will make you suffer for the humiliation you have just caused me!" Smiling cruelly, Aotsuchi licked her lips in anticipation of what she planned to do to the elderly Shinobi. "I'll cut your body up into little pieces."

Wounded and with little energy left to fight, Kosuke closed his eyes, resigning himself to his fate. But just as Aotsuchi neared him, a sudden hail of Senbon needles flew out of the trees behind him, forcing Aotsuchi leap back to avoid them. Shortly after a figure appeared in front of Kosuke, looking up the old man was surprised to see it was Naruto.

"N-Naruto-san...w-what are you doing here?"

"Sorry old man, but I was worried and I couldn't leave you to face all these guys alone."

"Naruto-san, you should not have come here!"

Smirking, Naruto glanced back at the elderly man. "Don't worry, I have no intention of dying here, nor will I allow a comrade to give his life for me."

Hearing Naruto say those words, Kosuke could not help but be reminded of the Nidaime, the Sandaime and the Yondaime Hokage each saying similar words to him at different times of his life.

"Heh, so you're Senju Naruto, looks like Princess screwed up, big surprise!" sneered the woman, recognising Naruto from the photograph she and the rest of her group had been given. "Oh well, more glory for me for when I bring you back to Iwa."

Upon hearing the real reason why Aotsuchi and the other Iwa Shinobi had come here, Kosuke was both surprised and confused. Surprised that Iwa would send so many Shinobi just to capture Naruto, and confused by how Iwa even knew that Naruto would be here in the first place.

"You want me, then come and get me!" Naruto retorted as he fell into a fighting stance.

Seeing this, Aotsuchi couldn't help but laugh, finding the idea of Naruto fighting her laughable. "Puff, do you really think that you can take me kid, you may be talented an all but your still just a newly made Chunin, while I'm a seasoned Jonin."

"Heh, rank means nothing when it comes to skills, guess you didn't learn that after your entire group got wiped out by Kosuke-san, a Genin."

Not liking being reminded of what had just happened to her group, Aotsuchi glared angrily at the Senju heir. "Listen kid, I'll make you a deal, surrender and come with me peacefully and I'll let the old man go."

Before Naruto could respond to Aotsuchi's offer, Kosuke stood up, "I'm afraid that we'll have to refuse your kind offer Kunoichi-san. Like Naruto-san, I refuse to allow a comrade to sacrifice themselves for me."

Having enough of the old Shinobi, Aotsuchi decided to take them both out in one go, where she stabbed her Katana into the ground formed five quick hand seals and yelled "Doton: Dosekiryū (Earth Style: Earth and Stone Dragon)!" creating a massive Dragon made out of Earth.

At the same time, after only performing six hand seals, Kosuke created a massive Water Dragon, (much to the shock of Naruto and Aotsuchi), and intercepted the Earth Dragon, destroying it.

"Impossible!" shouted Aotsuchi, not believing that her Earth Dragon had been destroyed by Kosuke's Water Dragon, especially since she had the elemental advantage. But before she could even get over her shock, Naruto appeared right in front of her and hit her with a supercharged punched right to the stomach, sending crashing through dozen or so trees.

With Aotsuchi defeated, Kosuke fell to his knees again, his remaining Chakra all but spent.

"Hey old man, you okay?" a concerned Naruto asked, after jumping over to Kosuke and helping him up.

"Eh, Yes Naruto-san, I'm fine, just tired and a little shore, this old body of mine isn't as spry as it use to be" the old man replied, half smiling. But his smile soon faded and he quickly adopted a serious look. "You should not have come back for me Naruto-san, you should have gone for help at Gōenka."

In response Naruto just smirked at the old man. "But I didn't, I'm just a clone, the real me headed to Gōenka, not that it matters now, given how they were after me."

Surprised by this news, the old man could help but laugh, "I see, I see."

"The real me didn't like the idea of you going against all those Iwa Shinobi by yourself and created me to back you up. I would've been here sooner, but I had to circle around the Iwa Shinobi so that they wouldn't detect me. But I guess in the end you didn't need my help after all" remarked the clone, remembering the number of dead Iwa Shinobi he saw as he made his way to Kosuke.

"Perhaps, but I appreciate the thought either way Naruto-san" Kosuke replied with a smile before he groaned in pain from his earlier wounds. After a quick look at Kosuke's wounds, the clone decided that it would be best to find a more secure location before treating Kosuke's injuries.

As they made their way through the forest, the clone decided to ask Kosuke something that had been wondering. "Kosuke-san, how is it that you were able to perform the Suiryūdan no Jutsu (Water Dragon Technique) with so few hand seals, I mean when I use it I have to perform forty-four hand seals."

"With enough skill and training a Shinobi can reduce the number of hand seals needed to perform certain Jutsu. But it takes a great deal of training to do so. Your ancestor the Nidaime Hokage could produce a Water Dragon on a much larger scale, using just the moisture in the air, which shows just how great his skill and mastery was."

Already aware of the Nidaime Hokage's skills in Water Ninjutsu, the clone nodded, having heard stories from Tsunade, Jiraiya and the Sandaime. He had also seen the former Hokage's skill first hand from the invasion, where he saw him create a Water Dragon with just one hand seal. What he hadn't expected was someone else to do it to a similar level, having believed that only the Nidaime Hokage could do such a thing.

Once they were in a secure enough location, the clone laid Kosuke down and created several more copies of himself, he then ordered them to make a perimeter around them, so that no-one could sneak up on them. He also dispelled an extra clone so that the real Naruto would know where to find them.

After the other clones had left, the original Naruto clone began treating Kosuke for his injuries, while examining for any less obvious ones.

"So how are you feeling now Kosuke-san?" the clone asked, once he had finished healing the elderly Shinobi.

"Much better thank you" an appreciative Kosuke replied while sitting up.

"Still you should take it easy, you used up a lot of Chakra at the end and it be a while before you regain it naturally."

Smiling at the young man's concern, Kosuke nodded, "You're a good boy Naruto-san and a fine Shinobi, I'm certain your father, the Yondaime Hokage, would be very proud of you."

At the mention of the Yondaime being his father the clone gapped, but before he could deny it, Kosuke raised his hand up to stop him. "You needn't worry Naruto-san, I shall tell no-one the truth, I understand the reasons why it needs to stay secret."

"H-H-How did you know?"

"I may be old, but I'm not senile...at least not yet" Kosuke replied with another smile. "I knew your father when he was your age, and watched him become a great Shinobi. You remind me of him, not just in appearances, but in personality as well. In fact it was what you said about never abandoning a comrade that confirmed what I already suspected."

"Really?"

"Yes" said Kosuke, nodding his head. "Many years ago, I went on a mission with your father to retrieve a scroll from Kumo. During the mission I tried to sacrifice myself so to allow your father to escape with the scroll. But your father would not allow this; he not only saved my life but defeated the Kumo Shinobi as well. Afterwards he, much like you, told me that he would not allow a comrade to give their life up for him."

When Kosuke finished his story, Naruto couldn't help but smile, since it made him feel that little bit closer to his father.

Not long after, the two were soon joined by the real Naruto, who was accompanied by two other Konoha Shinobi from Gōenka base. Upon arriving, the other Konoha Shinobi informed Kosuke that they had sent reinforcements to aid Kushina and the others and that they should arrive shortly.

With the area now secured, the real Naruto deactivated his clones, allowing him to receive all their information, including what Kosuke told his clone, which Naruto kept to himself so not to cause a scene in front of the other Shinobi.

By daybreak Kushina and their team arrived with the few Shinobi from Gōenka base, with little injury, much to Naruto's relief. Upon arriving, she informed them that the remaining Iwa Shinobi had retreated back across the border after they learned that the forces from Gōenka base were nearing them.

"So you're saying that the entire attack was all just one big diversion, just so that they could capture you?" asked Kushina after Naruto finished telling them about his fight with Kurotsuchi and her squad.

"That's what she said" Naruto answered, "Although killing me was also an option for them."

"I can confirm Naruto-san's story Kushina-san, since the Iwa Kunoichi said as much, and was even willing to let me go if Naruto surrendered to her" Kosuke added.

"Damn Iwa must really want you badly if they sent all those Shinobi just to capture you" Tekuno remarked, glancing at Naruto, whom seemed slight unconformable with the whole situation.

"Agreed" said Hayama, joining the conversation. "Especially when you consider the fact that both the Sandaime Tsuchikage's son and Granddaughter were involved in the operation."

"What worries me more is how they even knew that Naruto would be with us" remarked Yamato, receiving several nods from everyone. The answer of course was obvious; somewhere in Konoha they had a spy who was supplying Iwa with detail information about their operations.

Turning to his student, Yamato suddenly asked, "Tell me Naruto, after you defeated the Tsuchikage's Granddaughter what did you do to her?"

"Well I didn't kill her if that's what you're asking" the blonde replied. "I didn't want to give Iwa any more reason to come after me. And I knew bringing her back to Konoha wouldn't do much good since we would have to hand her back to Iwa any way."

"So you let her go then?" Tekuno asked.

"Well I wouldn't say that" replied Naruto with knowing smirk, which caused the group to look at one another in concern.

Shortly after regaining conscious after being knocked out by Naruto, Akatsuchi made his way over to Rokku, who had been left completely immobilized by the Senbon needles Naruto hit him with. After removing the needles and giving him an antidote for the poison, Akatsuchi went to wake up the rest of his squad, who were still knocked out from Naruto's knockout gas.

Once everyone was awake, the group quickly began to search for Kurotsuchi and Naruto. Following the tracks and trail of damage left from the fight, the Iwa group soon found their leader. But when they did, her condition was not what they expected. Instead of finding her dead, injured or even knocked out, they found her wrapped up from head to toe in vines, hanging from a tall tree, with a large note attached on her chest that said.

"One Spoilt Arrogant Rock Princess wrapped up and ready for delivery."

"Courteously of Senju Naruto,"

"P.S. Next time...Send your best."

Needless to say when the group saw the state their leader was left in, many of them struggled to keep a straight face. The other members though were not as controlled and burst out laughing when they saw her.

Seeing this, Kurotsuchi began to struggle against the vines and scream at her teammates to get her down from the tree and free her from the vines. But due to the vines covering her mouth, none of the other Iwa Shinobi could understand what she was saying, which caused the, to laugh even harder as they listened to her muffled screams of rage.

Needless to say it was a while before her teammates could calm down enough to cut her down from the tree. It was even longer before any of them could even look at her in the face and not burst out laughing at the memory of her hanging from a treetops like a piñata.

Listening to her teammate's laughter, the Tsuchikage's Granddaughter fumed and began to tune out their laughter. Focusing on one thought and one thought alone, one that would help her bare thought all the mockery and ridicule that was to come later on, and that thought was what she would do to a certain Blonde haired Chunin once she got her hands on him.

Omake:

Turning to his student, Yamato suddenly asked, "Tell me Naruto, after you defeated the Tsuchikage's Granddaughter what did you do to her?"

"Well I didn't kill her if that's what you're asking" the blonde replied. "I didn't want to give Iwa any more reason to come after me. And I knew bringing her back to Konoha wouldn't do much good since we would have to hand her back to Iwa any way. So I tied her up and left her for her teammates to pick her up"

"You tied her up, that's all?" Yamato asked.

"Pretty much" shrugged Naruto, "I used some special knots that I got from this book that I borrowed from Ero-Sennin, so that she couldn't break free."

"Book?" asked Kushina, "What Book?"

"This Book" said Naruto, taking the book labelled "Kinbaku"*out from his coat pocket and showing it to them.

Upon seeing the book the faces of all the adults immediately blushed, knowing what the book was really about.

"Well this certainly explains a lot of things" giggled Kushina and was soon joined by Kosuke and Tekuno, who began to giggle perversely. *

"What?" asked Naruto, failing to understand why everyone was laughing at the book, "What?!"

"I'm going to kill him...I swear to god I am going to kill him for this!" a furious Kurotsuchi said to herself over and over again. Never in all her life had she been so utterly humiliated by someone. It was bad enough that she had lost to Naruto, a boy two years younger than her, but what made it worse was that once he had defeated her. He bound and gagged her with his vines and left her to hang from a tree in a rather alluring position.

Both her hands and legs tied behind her back, her stomach wrapped in a single vine that started wrapping itself from her thigh and then made its way up, slithering directly between her legs like a snake before it wrapped itself on her stomach but thankfully not so tight. The worst part were the vines that were tying up her arms as they started from her wrists and then made their way to her chest where to her embarrassment they wrapped themselves around her breasts and constricted a bit making them stick out more and seem larger then they appeared to be. The only thing she was thankful of was that her clothes were intact otherwise she'd even more humiliated.

"When I get my hands on him, I'm going to melt his balls right off!" the girl thought angrily.

After about an hour of hanging from the tree, the rest of Kurotsuchi's team finally arrived. But instead of helping her, the male members of the group just stared at her and began to blush bright red when they saw the provocative state she had been left in.

"God damn those perverted morons," Kurotsuchi thought irritably. She tried to yell at them, but due to the vines covering her mouth, none of her teammates could understand what she was saying.

Furious by how she was receiving no help from her teammates, Kurotsuchi decided to try and free herself. But the vines were too strong and the more she struggled, the tighter they became, specifically around her chest and lower regions.

Feeling the vines tightening around her, Kurotsuchi suddenly felt a strong tingling feeling coming from between her legs, where the vines were the tightest. But before she could stop herself she let out a rather loud muffled moan, which sounded more than a little erotic to the other Iwa Shinobi, causing them to fly into the air from the fountain of blood that erupted from their noses.

Needless to say it was a while before Kurotsuchi was finally free from her restraints, and even long before she could look anyone straight in the face without turning bright red.
