Ringo entered the office of the Mizukage after her latest mission. She yawned to her palm but shook her head to wake herself up. Lately, she was feeling utterly exhausted but it was no excuse to appear unprofessional in front of her Kage. "Jonin Ameyuri reporting."
"Ah, Ringo..." The Mizukage nodded cheerfully in her direction, almost making her blanch at the amount of liveliness the man was showing while she was close to being dead on her feet. "I heard about your last mission..." The man said and this time, all cheer was gone from his face. "Care to explain... that?" He asked.
A staring match between him and Ringo ensued. They were glaring at each other with fervor, only to be separated by a fake cough coming from the corner. "Aren't you glad you put her up to this test, dear?" A voice laced in sarcasm resounded the office. They turned around only to see Himeno standing there which made the Mizukage instantly gain an embarrassed expression while Ringo furrowed her brows.
"Anyway... couldn't you use less force, Ringo?" The Mizukage tried to change the topic. "You completely crushed the man's balls."
Ringo just tilted her head and asked innocently. "I was trying to 'hit' on him, though?" It was said with such a clueless-sounding voice, Himeno actually started wheezing in laughter but to the Mizukage, it wasn't amusing at all. The man who Ringo was sent to seduce was one of their main informants. He was providing information for a 'special' service of a kunoichi. The man was kind of sick and often managed to make even the kunoichi sent to him need a month-long break afterward. But he was very good at providing intel. This time, the Mizukage sent Ringo to please the man but apparently, Ringo's idea of seduction is to take the man's ball into her hand and squeeze until the entire tavern could hear a loud 'pop' followed by an inhuman scream. Needless to say, the Mizukage wouldn't need to send another kunoichi to satisfy the man ever again. He wasn't amused at all! When he said fuck... he meant fuck! He was about to reprimand the woman who went against her orders when Himeno's voice interrupted his angry thoughts.
"Ringo... you are still a virgin?"
The Mizukage's mind halted at that as his eyes snapped to the wielder of Kiba.
"Yes." Ringo averted her gaze towards the ground, making both Himeno and the Mizukage speechless. How could that be possible when...
"But... what about the mandatory deflowering in the academy?" The Mizukage voiced out only for Ringo to show a sheepish look.
"I avoided it by not showing up." She said plainly and Himeno snorted. It was a barbaric tradition of Kiri but she had to agree that it had its merits. There was a reason why the academy instructors were usually handsome chunin. Before graduation, every girl is 'recommended' and assigned a night when she is supposed to show up in the house of the chunin instructor for her ... ugh. Many girls actually already had a crush on their instructors by that time so it wasn't that hard to have sex with them. They were, after all, still naive girls. Himeno didn't like it but clans did something similar too.
"Ringo," Himeno started, pursing her lips. "I won't admonish you for avoiding it. A lot of girls do. While it is mandatory, nobody is going to enforce it." She carefully tried to find the correct words. "But..." Himeno gave Mizukage a sheepish look before she sighed and continued, words flowing from her despite her far-away look. "I lost my virginity when I was ten to Yuki clansman. I wasn't asked about my opinion. I was just led to a room with other girls my age and we were told it was tradition. We were little girls and so, we did as we were told. It was painful but not as much as my daily training. Then it was pleasurable and we just went with it. I don't even remember the name of the man who took my virginity. I am sure he is alive and living in the Yuki compound. Surely, we walk around each other on daily basis but I really don't remember him." Himeno said, refusing to look in the direction of her lover, the Mizukage. She took another deep breath before continuing. "But I don't regret giving it to him. My first jonin sensei wasn't very skillful and on my first mission, I was captured and raped." Hearing that, Ringo's eyes slowly widened. "I was an eleven-year-old and genin but my opponent was chunin, I somehow managed to be pulled away from my team. Long story short, it wasn't pleasant. But the chunin didn't kill me and I already knew how having sex felt like. I waited for him to climax and then as he was mentally high on the pleasure I swept kunai from his pocket and slit his throat. I remember being showered in blood..." Himeno chuckled dryly. "There is a reason deflowering is a tradition of Kiri. It helps our kunoichi to react during these kinds of situations and makes seduction missions easier to digest." Himeno then looked Ringo straight into her eyes. "You are shinobi. A weapon. But you are also a woman and that means even your cunt is a weapon. Use it." She said straightforwardly but Ringo didn't nod or show any sort of agreement. She... couldn't.
In the end, it was the Mizukage who interrupted the women and decided to just get on with the reporting. It didn't take long for it to finish. "Ringo, Rei invited you to his house today." He said as Ringo was leaving the office. "You have three days off."
Three days off... She didn't have more than one free day she usually spent sleeping for a year now. Ringo smiled and decided to not think about it as she craved meeting Rei from the depth of her soul.
In the office, Himeno turned to Mizukage when the door closed. "I told you to NOT make Ringo go on seduction type of mission and yet you wanted to make her accept the request of Daimyo's third son?" She asked, peeved.
"But he requested her..." The Mizukage weakly tried to defend himself.
"You know well he wanted to only fuck her! How many of our kunoichi did you already send to satisfy that little pig! You didn't even want to give her a choice in the matter! What do you think would happen if I didn't talk you into testing her by sending her on a similar type of mission with a less important target?" Himeno said angrily and the Mizukage could only cower in his seat. "She would have killed the third pig of the Daimyo! That's what!"
The Mizukage reluctantly nodded. "I know... I know now." He whined. "But we need the money he would be willing to provide! You know as well as me that war is starting. Every single of the seven swordsmen is continuously sent on missions to get us rid of high-profile targets outside our country while the clans handle killing opposition inside of our country. I have to juggle so many documents on a daily basis and then get funding and, and, and..." He looked dismayed.
Himeno stood up and hugged his head to her stomach as she coursed her fingers through his hair. "Don't worry. Maybe you should be more open though? If you admitted the war was coming, you could use more shinobi on these missions?" Himeno stated only for him to shake his head.
"That would be alerting our enemies and the targets would be more protected. We are making it seem erratic and as coincidental deaths for now but if I admitted us hunting the people down... I am sure there are enough spies in the village to actually pass the info to the other Kages. It would just accelerate the war which is not desired." He droned out, making Himeno frown.
"You want us to join the war due to Marika, right? Don't you think it's too much to do this out of personal grudge?" She tried but the Mizukage was too stubborn.
"No... my sister had to bite off her tongue to stop being humiliated by Konoha shinobi. I will have my revenge." His eyes burned as he said that and Himeno knew this was the prime motivator that made her man able to become Kage. He wanted to one-up Konoha in such a way, they would lick their wounds for years. He wanted them to suffer. Sadly, it often clouded his judgment.
Himeno sighed as she looked out of the window, into the mist. 'And again, it would be me who would have to run damage control.' She sighed again but then her lips twisted into a smile when she felt Mizukage's hands on her ass. She looked down, only to see his mischievous gaze peering at her. 'But what else can I do when I love this man so much? A pity my clan wants this war to go on and father forbid me to use my womanly charm to change your mind, dear. Bloodshed it is, then.' She lowered her head, her lips meeting the Mizukage's.
