Later That Evening)
The Naruto clones were together in the room with Karin discussing and editing the first twelve written chapters of Naruto's manuscript, a task they spent hours doing. They were even debating on concepts about how the book cover and artwork would look like. They also were examining pictures of ninja and non-ninja young women Naruto peeped at in the past and deciding which type would depict which female characters, either as protagonists or antagonists. Anko's image was already decided to be use as the main female protagonist after Naruto made a deal with Anko about using her in his story in return for royalties made off the story.
A knock soon come from the door. Karin went over and opened the door to find Hinata standing at the door.
"Is Naruto-kun by any chance inside?" Hinata asked.
"I'm with twelve of his clones as we're working on his new book series," Karin said, "You're welcome to join and put your input into the story."
"That's OK," Hinata respectfully declined, "I'm looking for Naruto-kun as there's something I want to show him."
"Is it something special you have in mind for him?" Karin asked, "You've been out all day and only now you're returning."
"I've been busy," Hinata said.
"If you're looking for Naruto-kun, he's in a meeting with Jiraiya and Seijiro-jisan," Karin said, "They've been talking about who knows what for hours in the other room. Perhaps they're done now, who knows."
"Thank you," Hinata said appreciatively and bowed, "I'll be on my way then and see if I can get Naruto-kun."
With that Hinata went on her way to Jiraiya's room as Karin went back inside and closed the door. Reaching Jiraiya's room, Hinata knocked on the door and waited for a reply. A moment later, Naruto appeared out from the door.
"Hinata-chan!" Naruto greeted happily, "Where have you been all day? It's late!"
"I'm sorry," Hinata apologized and explained, "I was out taking care of something very important that I want to show you now."
"Now?" Naruto asked quizzically. Hinata nodded her head, "Yes. Are you too busy to come with me now?"
"No, not at all," Naruto said before he turned to Jiraiya and Seijiro back inside the room, "I'm stepping out with Hinata-chan. We'll return and see you guys later."
"Be safe now," Seijiro advised as Jiraiya simply nodded his head to Naruto. Naruto placed his sandals on and left the room with Hinata before leaving the motel with her. Once outside, Hinata took Naruto by the hand and guided him to their next destination.
"So where are you taking me?" Naruto asked curiously.
"I-It's a…sur-surprise Naruto-kun," Hinata stuttered as her nervousness was starting to manifest despite her boldness to carry out what she had been planning to do all day.
"A surprise?" Naruto asked.
"Y-Yes," Hinata said, "It's something th-that I wanted t-to treat…you to."
The couple spent a good amount of time walking out of the town and into the darkened woods as the shadow of night blanketed the surrounding region. Hinata continued holding Naruto's hand as she continued guiding him to her intended destination. She pushed herself not to cower and back out now after coming this far and putting so much effort to make everything she planned perfect.
"We're quite a distance from town Hinata-chan," Naruto noted, "Are you sure about this?"
Hinata giggled and said, "Like I said Naruto-kun, it's a surprise."
This aroused Naruto's curiosity further as he wondered what Hinata was up to, but he chose to follow along and see where Hinata's surprise would take him. After another ten minutes of walking, Naruto found himself standing in front of what was a beautiful scenery of a majestic waterfall and a running crystal clear river. The night skies were also littered with sparking stars with the full moon at its brightest over the running waters. The surrounding region was smooth and grassy giving off a serene atmosphere.
"This place is beautiful Hinata-chan," Naruto praised. Hinata guided him to the next spot by the falling waters which turned out to be a picnic sight that was nicely set up with a large blanket, food, drinks and towels.
"A late night picnic and swim?" Naruto asked with his intrigued heightened, "Now that sounds like fun!"
Hinata then pointed to the waterfall for Naruto to see. Naruto looked to find a silhouette of a female dancing on top of the water by falls in a very poetic and graceful display. The moonlight reflecting off her added to her elegant movements as he took notice of the waters dancing around her like a charmed serpent following the charmer. Naruto's left eye then caught sight of Hinata's clothes neatly folded with her sandals sitting next to her clothes and towels.
"Wait a minute," Naruto realized, "Is that Hinata-chan?"
"Hinata" stated, "I was simply sent to retrieve you."
With that, "Hinata" dispelled into a cloud a smoke, revealing herself to be a kage bunshin the entire time. A moment later, Hinata stopped dancing on top of the water and walked over to Naruto, revealing herself to be completely nude, barefooted and completely wet.
"Hinata-chan?" Naruto greeted, feeling his arousal and lust growing while looking at the sight of her.
"Naruto-kun," Hinata said as she reached and stood in front of him before she kissed his lips briefly and pulled away and continued, "I want to continue where we left off at in the bathhouse the other night," Hinata reached for his vest and removed it along with his shirt, "With no interruptions, no holding back."
(Warning: This scene will have a mild lemon though nothing graphic. You've been warned, so if you don't want to read it, please skip to the next scene.)
Naruto, standing in front of Hinata, removed his sandals with his pants still on. Hinata stepped forward and planted kisses under his chin and neck as she reached for his belt and pants and undid them. Gently, she tugged his pants and boxers down to his ankles, freeing his erection from its confinement as she allowed him to step out of his boxers and pants, thus being completely barefooted and nude with her.
"So what do you want to do now Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked. With a shy and submissive overtone, Hinata replied, "Since you're always the one to teach and instruct me, I feel I should follow your lead in doing to me as you wish."
"Do you remember what I told you on that day when I gave you those gravity and chakra restraint seals?" Naruto asked as he took Hinata's right hand and placed it over his chest, allowing her to feel his heartbeat as he placed his right hand over where her heart was beating.
"I remember," Hinata said with a smile, "You said that our hearts beat as one. I never forgot how poetic you were and still are. But now…"
She moved closer and wrapped her arms around his shoulders in a tight embrace and kissed him passionately as she felt his arousal at her crotch. Hinata led him to the spread open blanket lying on the grass and lied down on it on her back with Naruto hovering over her, "I want us…to join…as one."
"The desire for a man's embrace is not only physical but also mental and emotional as we yearn for that connection with him, the desire to be one with him in heart, mind, body and soul."
It was funny how Karin's earlier words came racing back into his mind as he gazed down into Hinata's eyes that were filled with affections, desire and want for him. A moment later Naruto leaned in and kissed Hinata and rather than just taking Hinata right there and then, Naruto slowed himself down and decided to caress, kiss, suckle and explore every part of her body, making her feel beautiful, cherished and desired. Naruto's actions and attention to her body drove Hinata wild and heightened her anticipation as she already felt her love canal becoming wetter with her juices as it longed for Naruto's dowel to enter and fill her to the brink. Her moaning served to encourage Naruto to continue his foreplay on her body, stimulating Hinata's lust and craving for Naruto to satisfy her.
'Is this really happening?' Hinata wondered, 'Is this another dream I'm going to wake up from like before?'
Before Hinata could answer her own unspoken question, Naruto's face reached her lips and he kissed her hotly as he rested his arms on the blanket before guiding his stiffened rod to her moistened receptive canal.
"Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked, immediately gaining his attention.
"Yes Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked.
"Is this a dream?" Hinata asked, "Is this all one big dream to wake up from?"
"Even if it is," Naruto replied, "It would be worth every minute so long I get to spend and have this moment with you."
"Naruto-kun!" Hinata said happily before she kissed his lips and held onto Naruto as she braced herself, feeling every part of his stiffened man part sliding inside and opening her wet passage for the first time. For Naruto, there were no words that he could use to describe the mental and carnal sensations he was experiencing as he descended into Hinata until he reached her sensitive barrier. Naruto stopped and gave Hinata a look that was more of an unasked question that she was able to understand.
"It's OK Naruto-kun," Hinata assured, "I'm sure about this. Make me yours."
With that reassurance, Naruto in one thrust, fully submerged into Hinata, causing her to moan loudly from having Naruto completely in her for the first time, giving their virginity to each other for good. Naruto's mind was doing somersaults as he savored the sensuous feeling of being joined with his girlfriend while feeling her wet and nude body underneath his nude body. Sure he had wet dreams of Hinata and read many stories from Ichaicha Paradise about such erotic scenes and he also watched a few movies with those graphic moments. But it was a whole different dimension when actually engaging in such physical intimacy.
Naruto allowed Hinata time to adjust to the feeling of having him in her knowing that her first time would be excruciating at the start. Soon though, she moved up and down a few times signaling she was ready to continue. At that moment, Naruto and Hinata forgot about everything else and the world around them as they made love in the blanket of the night. They took each other for all they were worth with no restraints, no holding back as Hinata verbally encouraged her lover to claim her, to have her, to love her. Naruto complied while telling Hinata how beautiful she was and expressing his desire to always be there with her, for her. He repeatedly called her his Moon's Eye Spring Rabbit during their lovemaking. Every moan, every groan Hinata made from their rhythmic movements only made Naruto more aroused with passion and lust.
For Hinata, being brought up in a traditional household, she knew very well how her father and clan wanted her to be married off ceremonially. She knew how they wanted her to stay chaste and remain a virgin until she was wedded off to a worthy suitor. But at that moment, she didn't care about traditions, customs or what her father and clan wanted. All thoughts of them were forgotten. All that mattered to her was having Naruto and staking her claim on him, desiring his love, time, energy and attention. She wanted him to be hers and to make him happy by what means necessary, even if it meant giving her body to him as he gave his to her.
After a while, both teens reached their climatic peak and surrendered to their need for orgasmic release, relishing in the bliss of carnal gratification. Naruto's eyes rolled to the back of his head as Hinata's canal contracted and tightly squeezed down on his shaft. Hinata moaned loudly as she felt Naruto release inside her as he held onto her for another minute until he was completely drained. While holding her, he kissed her neck and the bottom of her chin a few times and said huskily, "I love you, Hyuuga Hinata. You're mine now, my beautiful Moon Rabbit."
"Yes Naruto-kun," Hinata said lowly, "I love you too. I belong to you now. And you belong to me."
Naruto rolled and allowed Hinata to rest on top of him while they were still intimately connected. They took the time to regain their strengths while Hinata felt and listened to the sound of Naruto's heartbeat. A cool breeze blew by but the warmth of Naruto's body was enough for Hinata.
(End Of Mild Lemon Scene)
"Hinata-chan," Naruto said.
"Yes Naruto-kun?" Hinata inquired.
"We did this without the use of…," Naruto left the sentence off as Hinata understood his unfinished statement.
"Don't worry Naruto-kun," Hinata assured, "I won't get pregnant for now. I had one of the female members of my clan secretly teach me a special medic jutsu that acts as birth control."
"Really?" Naruto asked with interest, "When was this?"
"The morning before I left my clan's compound to meet up with you and Karin for this mission," Hinata revealed, "The way we made out at the Hokage Tower and on top of the Hokage Monument the night before this mission, I knew it would be a matter of time until we could no longer control our urges so…I took the needed precautions."
"I'm happy you did," Naruto said in relief, "I must confess that I was negligent and stupid in not learning to do so myself. I'm happy you prove to be smarter than me in that regard."
"Don't be so hard on yourself Naruto-kun," Hinata consoled, "Even if I did get pregnant for you after this night, I would be honored in having your child regardless of what anyone else said about it. With you at my side, I'm strong enough to take on any challenge."
"You are aware that this changes everything between us," Naruto said, "I'm sure it won't be long until your father and others find out about us consummating our love for each other intimately."
"I know," Hinata admitted, "No doubt I'm sure to face disappointment from both my father and the clan. Pfft…not that disappointment from them would be a new experience for me anyway. I did this because I wanted to."
"Aren't you a rebellious clan heiress all of a sudden," Naruto teased, causing Hinata to giggle and snuggle closer to him as she rested on top of him.
"I have you to blame for that Naruto-kun," Hinata playfully replied, "Becoming more like you everyday and copying your mischievous habits."
"Oh you loved it," Naruto snickered before he kissed her forehead and said, "Regardless what happens, through thick and thin, we'll have each other."
"Yes we will," Hinata agreed, "No matter what, you're all I need Naruto-kun."
"So, Hinata-chan," Naruto asked, "Do you want to go for a swim or return back to the motel where the others are waiting?"
"Let's stay like this for a while longer," Hinata suggested, "And then let's go for a swim together. I'll even show you some new tricks I learned with water manipulations."
"You had me at "Let's stay"," Naruto teased before Hinata smiled and moved to lean down to kiss his lips.
(Three Hours Later)
Naruto and Hinata, fully dressed and washed up, made return back to the motel. Naruto was carrying Hinata bridal style as she snuggled closer to him, smiling contently while enjoying the feeling of being treated as his princess. All of things Hinata used for their picnic were sealed away in Hinata's small scroll which was in a pocket inside her jacket. Much earlier, Naruto had summoned a platoon of clones and had them scatter about to be his eyes and security in the event of bandits or thieves appearing and attacking them. So far, everything was peaceful and serene, just the way he wanted it for both himself and Hinata.
By the time they reached the town, Hinata had already fallen asleep peacefully in his arms with her head on his right shoulder. Naruto, having no other choice, carried Hinata's sleeping form all the way back to the motel where the others were waiting. Upon their arrival, he knocked on the door of the room Hinata and Karin were sharing. When the door opened, it revealed Karin barefooted without her glasses on in only her panties and t-shirt which did little to cover her navel. Naruto was used to seeing Karin and Honoka in little clothes on but that didn't stop him from getting aroused by the sight of them.
"So you finally returned with Hinata," Karin said stating the obvious, "I hope you both enjoyed your time together without her getting sick again this time."
"I think the look on her face says it all," Naruto remarked, causing Karin to take a good look at Hinata's peaceful yet happy sleeping form. Looking back at Naruto, Karin asked lecherously, "How was she for your first time with her?"
"Karin!" Naruto growled with a deep blush on his face.
"C'mon Naruto-kun," Karin replied, "As a woman, I can see the afterglow on her face, a look I've never seen from her up till now."
"You're not going to go blurt this out to everyone, are you?" Naruto asked.
"Why would I?" Karin replied with a lecherous smile, "I'm more interested in hearing how "thirsty" she was and how you quenched her "thirst" until she was completely satisfied. I'm sure I can use your explanation and attention to details to get me off before I head to bed."
"Karin, really!" Naruto retorted with blood threatening to burst out of his nose, "Look! Let me place Hinata in bed and be on my way, unless you want me to fetch Uzumaki Arashi and have him quench your thirst to be satisfied."
"You wouldn't do something that mean would you?" Karin asked before Naruto burst into a cloud of smoke and took on the form and appearance of Arashi.
"Karin," 'Arashi' said with sultry, "Allow me the pleasure of screwing you hard in my bed and conceiving my children with you. You can ride me as much as you want for as long as you want."
"That isn't funny!" Karin retorted with a shudder, "Fine! You win! Though Arashi and Kansui are actually fast asleep in another room down the hall."
'Arashi' burst into a cloud of smoke and changed back to normal. Karin stepped aside and allowed Naruto inside as he removed his sandals before heading to place Hinata in bed. Karin closed and locked the door behind her as Naruto placed Hinata on the bed and removed her sandals and jacket. After setting her sandals down by the door and Hinata's jacket on a nearby chair, he went over to Hinata and covered her with a blanket.
"By the way," Karin said as she went over and retrieved a thick bound book resting on the nightstand by her bed, "Your clones and I got a lot done with the first volume of your new story, all twelve chapters. They even managed to incorporate me into the story as you promised."
Naruto went over to Karin and took the manuscript of his new novel series from her.
"Great work Karin!" Naruto thanked and asked, "Where are my clones now? I sense that they didn't dispelled themselves yet."
"They're in another room working on the next set of twelve chapters with the input I suggested and gave to them," Karin revealed, "The manuscript for your second volume."
"Wow!" Naruto marveled, "They're not playing around! I wonder when they'll be done with the manuscript for the second volume."
"In a couple of hours at the rate they're going," Karin said, "Many will love your new series I'm sure, especially with the artwork they're incorporating into many parts of the story. That was my suggestion."
"Cool!" Naruto praised, "I'll wait till my clones dispel themselves so I can get a full and complete understanding of everything they accomplished in my absence."
"Why wait when I can tell you all about it myself," Karin offered as she took the first manuscript from him and began discussing with him everything both his clones and her accomplished.
(Meanwhile)
Seijiro was sitting on the floor alone on the roof of the motel building with an opened scroll in front of him. While Jiraiya and the others were doing their own things, he was busy tracking Tsunade's movements through his spy network and making sure her trail didn't start growing cold as she had hoped. Seijiro wanted to make sure that he and the rest of the team tracked down and found Tsunade by the next night as he grew tired of her constantly skipping town whenever he and the others got very close to finding her.
"You won't escape us this time Tsunade," Seijiro said lowly to himself with a grin on his face, "I'll see to that personally."
(The Following Morning)
Hinata was lying in bed with the morning sun gradually shining over her closed eyes. She stirred a little before she yawned and stretched. But as she did, she found that she was being held down by something, a pair of arms. She looked behind her to find Naruto, sleeping soundly next to her in the same bed while holding her close to him. Her face blushed dark red until her mind rewind and recalled everything that happened last night. She smiled contently as she remembered her lovemaking with Naruto.
"Slept well my Moon's Eye Spring Rabbit?" Naruto asked as he opened his eyes to look at Hinata.
"Waking up with you being the first thing I see in the morning is the best way to wake up," Hinata replied with a bright smile on her face.
"How did you enjoy last night?" Naruto asked. Hinata snuggled closer to him and replied, "Heavenly. The best night of my life. I have no regrets. I didn't know such pleasures for the human body exist."
"Oh I'm sure I can show and teach you more pleasures with my tongue if you like," Naruto remarked with a grin.
"You're such a pervert Naruto-kun," Hinata giggled.
"Oh yeah?" Naruto replied as he grabbed and kissed Hinata hotly as he rolled and rested himself on top of her before holding her in his arms again. Hinata embraced and kissed him just as passionately as she felt his full weight on top of her. Naruto reluctantly removed his lips and tongue from Hinata's mouth and moved his lips over to her left ear and whispered, "I could just take you right here and now if it weren't for the others being in the motel with us."
"Aren't they waiting for us as we speak?" Hinata asked. A knock came from the room door.
"Hey Naruto-kun!" came Karin's voice from the other side, "I hope both you and Hinata are quite done resting up. Jiraiya, Seijiro-jisan and the others are getting ready to continue our journey so we're going to have to leave soon."
"Does that just about answers your question Hinata-chan?" Naruto replied before he pecked Hinata on the lips and got up off her and stood up from the bed.
"Give us thirty minutes Karin," Naruto replied through the door.
"Whatever," Karin said, "We'll be waiting."
Karin left the door and went about her business, leaving Naruto and Hinata to themselves.
"C'mon let's get ready to leave," Naruto advised, "We can have some grown up "fun time" later."
Hinata blushed while knowing what he had mind when he said "grown up fun time."
(Later That Evening)
The group had been traveling all day for miles going with the leads Jiraiya and Seijiro obtained until they finally managed to lock in on Tsunade's exact location with Hinata and Karin working together. Currently the group was standing outside of a casino parlor, where Hinata and Karin confirmed Tsunade's location inside.
"I see a high level genjutsu over a blonde haired woman who's starting to get nervous and is looking to make a rapid exit through the doors past the poker tables," said Hinata said with her Byakugan activated.
"That's Senju Tsunade without a doubt," Jiraiya confirmed.
"Finally!" Karin stated with a breath of relief, "We found that damn woman!"
"I advise that we don't all go in towards Tsunade all at once," Jiraiya instructed, "Naruto and I will go in first while the rest of you make your appearance as subtle as possible but close enough to be on standby. Seijiro, should she try to try to make a quick exit, intercept and make sure she can't run anywhere, otherwise she'll take off faster than Maito Gai without weights."
"There's a bit more to this Jiraiya-sama," Hinata informed, "Evidently, Tsunade-sama has someone with her, a young woman who's following her close by."
"An assistant or an apprentice of sorts no doubt," Kansui figured.
"Or a possible wildcard," Arashi suggested.
"Whatever the case," Naruto said after a long silence, "We'll deal with both Tsunade and whoever this woman is that's tagging along with her. You guys all know what to do, so let's execute the plan."
(Inside The Casino)
Senju Tsunade had very good hand and presently the exit looked pretty friendly right now because her winning streak for the past couple of days was a warning sign that something was going to happen. Regardless, Tsunade was determined to get one more good game in and she had every intention of skipping out on paying her debts yet again considering the large amount of money she won over the span of nearly a week. Tsunade was preparing to end the game and leave the casino with Shizune sensing what her teacher was about to do.
'Here we go again,' thought Shizune with the pig in her hand letting out a sigh while wondered what she did in her past life to make her be the pet of the Legendary Sucker. When she looked and saw two figures approaching them, one she immediately recognized and the other she never saw before. Tsunade however was too focused on the game she was winning to take notice of the newcomers slowly approaching them.
"We have a winner!" the table clerk said, "Senju Tsunade!"
Tsunade took this as her sign to cash in all her winnings and skip town again right after. Just as Tsunade finished collect all of her winnings and was about to leave with Shizune and Tonton…
"It's been a long time Tsunade-hime," Jiraiya greeted as he and Naruto approached the table Tsunade and Shizune were at. Tsunade's eyes widened on hearing and seeing Jiraiya standing right in front of her.
"Jiraiya!" Tsunade shouted, "What!? Why are you here!?"
"That's a very good question Tsunade," Naruto remarked, "Considering that we've been looking for you for the past couple of days and would like to have friendly chat with you peacefully away from this spot and at another table."
Tsunade looked at Naruto and asked, "And who are you boy?"
"Don't call me boy!" Naruto retorted, "I'm Uzumaki Naruto, son of Konoha's late Yondaime!"
"So you're Kushina's son," Tsunade replied.
"You knew my parents," Naruto said coolly, "Not surprising to say the least in light of everything that happened in my life. But we're not here to talk about me. We came to find you Tsunade, so how about we go talk at another spot with some shots of sake?"
"Now you're talking my language!" Tsunade said lively, "Though you're too young to drink!"
"Screw that!" Naruto replied, "Old enough to kill! Old enough to drink is what I say!" Naruto then turned to the younger of the two women, "By the way, who are you?"
"I'm Shizune," Shizune introduced, "I'm Tsunade-sama's apprentice and assistant."
"It's a pleasure to meet a woman as beautiful and exemplary as you Shizune," Naruto replied respectfully with smile on his face. Tsunade had a raised eyebrow after hearing how Naruto addressed Shizune. Shizune herself was a little flustered by how Naruto complimented her.
"Thank you, I suppose," Shizune thanked.
"There's no need to feel embarrassed," Naruto grinned, "Any man with good sense and eyes in his head knows beauty with an edge when he sees it."
"I can talk from personal experience," Jiraiya remarked.
"With bruises and deep scars to show for no doubt ero-jisan," Naruto mocked.
"Shut up brat!" Jiraiya retorted, "And don't try to play all innocent when you yourself are one of my most advent readers of my book series!"
Tsunade frowned at both of them, already drawing conclusions about what she thinks Naruto's character and abilities are.
"Anyway," Jiraiya suggested, "Let's head to another table and talk there like the brat suggested."
The group went and did just that after Tsunade went and cashed in all the money she won from her last game. Tsunade and Shizune sat at one side of the table as Naruto and Jiraiya sat at the side facing them. Tsunade ordered a large bottle of sake with two cups since Shizune wasn't up for drinking and Naruto wasn't serious about wanting to drink despite having a moderate drinking habit with Hanabi. After getting her ordered sake and cups, Tsunade proceeded drinking her sake like water from a fountain.
"It's been a long time Jiraiya," Tsunade said, "Are we to expect Orochimaru to show up and join us?"
"No," Jiraiya said, "Plus, Orochimaru has recently caused Konoha a great deal of trouble. Not mention that he carries a strong hatred for the Chuunin next to me."
"Chuunin?" Tsunade asked as he turned to Naruto, "Why does Orochimaru hates the boy so much?"
Tsunade poured herself another shot of sake and started drinking it. Just as Jiraiya was about to answer…
"That's not important," Naruto said, "And I told you not to call me boy. What's important is why we were sent out by the Sandaime-jiisan to look for you."
Tsunade stopped drinking her sake when she heard that and looked at Jiraiya who sighed, knowing that there was no point dancing around the truth.
"For what purpose did Sarutobi-sensei sent both you guys out to find me?" Tsunade asked suspiciously, considering that it was a fellow Sannin that was tasked to find her.
"I'll be straight with you Tsunade," Jiraiya said humorlessly, "By order of the Hokage, you are to return back to Konoha immediately. It's not an option or a request."
Tsunade's eyes narrowed dangerously when she heard what she heard from Jiraiya as she leaked bloodlust. Though she had sake in her system, but she was still sober and a dangerous opponent to take on in a one-on-one fight. Shizune and the pig with her named Tonton got nervous when they felt the level of bloodlust pouring from the Slug Sannin.
"I told Sarutobi-sensei that I would never step foot back in Konoha again!" Tsunade snarled, "And he dares order me back to that accursed village!?"
"Tsunade," Jiraiya said patiently, "We don't have to make this difficult. I know you carry a grudge against Konoha for your bad experiences but-"
"Bad experiences!?" Tsunade retorted, "That damn abominable village robbed me of everything and everyone I loved! I don't care that Sarutobi-sensei is ordering me to return! I won't go back, even if he was offering me the position of becoming Hokage!"
"That's an interesting thought," Jiraiya remarked, "Why not return and take Sarutobi-sensei's position as Hokage? He'd be more than happy to return to his retirement. You'd be a most suitable choice."
"You take it!" Tsunade replied with disinterest.
"Funny you should say that considering that Sarutobi-sensei did choose me for the position of Godaime and asked me to become the new Hokage," Jiraiya revealed, "But I told him that I'm too free spirited to remain in one place and that I'm needed for my spy network."
"Such modesty ero-jisan," Naruto remarked, "But I can honestly see you as Godaime much more so than this broken woman in front of us, and that's saying something."
"Broken woman?" Tsunade repeated as she leaked more bloodlust, enough to cause Shizune and others to move and back away from her with a frightened Tonton in Shizune's arms, "You're how old again?" Tsunade remarked and warned, "You're still wet behind your ears, so don't presume to know me."
"I know enough about you Tsunade," Naruto replied undeterred, "I know instance that after you gave Nawaki that necklace around your neck after he became a Genin, he was killed in his first mission. Orochimaru himself remarked how you wouldn't be able to identify your brother's body and how there weren't any medics on the battlefield. Nawaki's tragic demise was the reason why you tried to persuade Sandaime-jiisan and the hierarchy to establish a system to train ninjas to be medics on the battlefield in order to reduce the likelihood of future casualties.
"Dan supported you after Sandaime-jiisan explained that they have neither the time nor resources to start such a training medic system while Konoha was at war with Kumo and Amegakure. But later your lover Dan was mortally wounded and bled to death in your arms after you tried to save him. The common fact about both Nawaki and Dan was that they both died with dreams of becoming Hokage one day while wearing the very necklace you wear around your neck, the one that was once worn by your grandfather, Senju Hashirama, Konoha's late Shodaime Hokage. You blamed Konoha for their deaths and ran away ever since, drowning yourself in gambling and drinking while having debt collectors after you. If you were to sell that very necklace, you could wipe out all of your acquired debts and still have enough money to buy a whole mountain.
"Now tell me, do you still find me presumptuous Tsunade?"
Tsunade had a shocked and speechless look on her face, as did Shizune.
'How does Naruto knows what he knows?' Shizune wondered as her mind raced through many possibilities. Tsunade turned to Jiraiya and the Toad Sage said in his defense, "I told Naruto nothing! And that's the truth! Sarutobi-sensei told him nothing neither! Both Orochimaru and myself were just as shaken and disturbed by how Naruto knows what he knows, but I swear on my life I told Naruto nothing about your past regarding Nawaki and Dan!"
Tsunade knew Jiraiya wasn't lying to her, but it didn't change the fact that what she heard from Naruto's mouth left her shaken. Tsunade returned her gaze back on Naruto.
"How did you come to find out about Nawaki and Dan?" Tsunade with a look that said she wanted answers.
"My sources are my own Tsunade," Naruto remarked, "You don't need to know. What you need to know however is that Sandaime-jiisan wants you to return to Konoha and we'd like for you and Shizune to return with us peacefully. So please make this easy for us and comply."
"While I'm startled that you know sensitive things about my past Naruto," Tsunade replied, "It doesn't change my decision not to return to Konoha and I don't take orders from a low-ranked Chuunin like yourself."
"I'm not only a Chuunin, Tsunade," Naruto said, "I'm also the official Uzumaki clan leader and member of Konoha's Shinobi Council."
"Naruto is not making this up Tsunade-hime," Jiraiya confirmed, "Everything he said is true."
"How can he be a clan leader if he's the only surviving Uzumaki?" Tsunade asked.
"We beg to differ Tsunade," Seijiro rebuffed as he, Karin, Kansui, Arashi and Hinata stepped forward and surrounded the table, "As you can see, we're surviving Uzumakis who were found my our rightful clan heir turned clan leader."
Tsunade took a careful look at each of them and saw the trademark red hair the Uzumakis were known for. Upon seeing Hinata however, Tsunade said, "You're a Hyuuga. You're not of the Uzumaki clan."
"While it's true that I'm the Hyuuga clan heiress," Hinata replied respectfully, "What's also true is that I'm considered the future matriarch of the Uzumaki clan seeing that I'm in a serious relationship with Naruto-kun. And like Naruto-kun, I'm also a Chuunin."
"Tsunade," Naruto said, "You have Uzumaki blood running through in your veins as your grandmother was Uzumaki Mito, which means you fall under my clan's jurisdiction regardless of your Senju heritage. Therefore as clan leader with the Hokage's backing, I'm requesting that you return with us to Konoha."
Tsunade snarled lowly seeing how Naruto was using her blood ties to his clan against her and since it was proven that he's the official leader of his clan, he was within his rights to call for her return.
"I will have you know Tsunade-hime that you're at a major disadvantage," Jiraiya enlightened, "Because not only has Sarutobi-sensei dispatched us to find and retrieve you, but the oldest Uzumaki of this group has been hunting you for some time now as he's been employed by a loan shark to find you so you can pay back the large amount of money you owe. In fact, Uzumaki Seijiro's expertise in tracking and finding you heavily rivals my own, which was why it was so hard for my team and I to find you as you constantly kept running from town to town for reasons we didn't understand back then."
"What!?" Tsunade shouted as she turned to face Seijiro, 'So he's the one that was the cause of all my winnings and why I was sensing bad vibes every time!'
"I'm known by many as The Bloodhound," Seijiro revealed, "I'm sure you've heard of me."
"Yes," Tsunade confirmed, "Your exploits have reached even my ears. But it's still not enough to intimidate or persuade me. My answer to you, Naruto and Jiraiya is still "No" and that's final!"
"I'm not under the authority of the Hokage as I've been employed by another man to have you pay back the money you owe him, whether you want to or not," Seijiro said calmly though with a serious undertone, "I will complete my mission by whatever means necessary, even if it means fighting you."
"Tsunade," Naruto warned, "Though we truly rather not have to, but we're under direct orders by Sandaime-jiisan himself to use force as a last resort if we have to. Sandaime-jiisan made it very clear that he wants you brought back to Konoha by any means necessary, even if it means arresting you!"
"You two Uzumakis have balls to think you both can challenge me!" Tsunade retorted.
"Don't test us Tsunade," Naruto warned coldly, "We've faced worse than you. We've done worse than you. There are reasons why Orochimaru and others like him are wary of Seijiro-jisan and I, as you should be."
"Tsunade-hime," Jiraiya interjected as the mediator, "We don't want this turning ugly and a clan of Uzumaki ninjas with infamous violent tempers literally surrounding you will cause all of us indescribable grief. We rather negotiate and persuade you peacefully to return willingly to the village your grandfather built as his surviving legacy."
"The village my grandfather built?" Tsunade remarked cynically, "That village no longer exist! What's there now is worthless refuse and a useless shell of its former glory!"
Naruto burst into a cloud of smoke and when it cleared, the new appearance Naruto took put Jiraiya into a mental state of panic as he knew this wasn't going to end well.
"Onee-chan!" Naruto said in the perfect voice imitation and appearance of Nawaki, only it sounded saddened and hurt as if he was crying, "Uzumaki Mito-obaachan and Senju Hashirama-ojiisan would be sadden and heartbroken if they were alive to see that you chose to abandon and forsake your homeland and people that you once swore to protect! I'm very saddened and hurt to see that you've changed from the onee-chan I always loved to someone who who holds no love for the homeland I wanted to become Hokage to so I could live up to jiisan's memories! How could you abandon and forget about me and my dreams?"
Naruto henge'd into Dan and perfectly mimicking Dan's voice and character, Naruto said with a saddened and heartbroken overtone, "Tsunade, what happened to you? Why have you changed from the woman I once loved to a woman who carries scorn and hate for the homeland I gave my life for? I once dreamed of becoming Hokage to Konoha while having you at my side. Why did you choose to forget my dreams and love for Konoha?"
Tsunade's head and gaze lowered to face the table as she was experiencing multiple waves of emotions with many memories of Nawaki and Dan rushing through her mind. The fact that Naruto mimicked Nawaki and Dan so perfectly startled and frightened Tsunade and Shizune since Dan was Shizune's late uncle. So many questions about Naruto rushed through Tsunade's and Shizune's minds as they again wondered how Naruto knew what he knew. Naruto soon changed back to normal.
"I'm sure that display you saw gave you a good idea how Nawaki and Dan would feel if they saw you as you are today," Naruto remarked. There was a brief moment of silence around the table. But shortly thereafter, that calm was replaced with a burning bloodlust radiating off Tsunade.
"Shit!" Jiraiya cursed seeing the danger, "This is bad!"
"I'll kill you!" Tsunade threatened as her rage exploded, causing her smack the table away in pieces and lunge at Naruto and grabbing him by the throat. Naruto however burst into a cloud of smoke, revealing himself to be a kage bunshin.
"What!?" Tsunade shouted, seeing that she was tricked as other bystanders cleared and got our of Tsunade's way, knowing about her feared strength.
"That was a sloppy Tsunade," Naruto said from the ceiling he was standing upside down on. Karin summoned her chakra chains as her fellow Uzumaki brethren got ready to fight. Hinata activated her Byakugan and readied herself for a serious battle. Shizune didn't like how things turned out and she wasn't willing to fight her fellow Konoha ninjas as that would be considered treason to the Hokage who was ordering their immediate return to Konoha. She held onto Tonton and decided to stay neutral to the upcoming fight to happen. Naruto dropped and flipped down to the floor next to Hinata as Tsunade confidently stood her grounds. Jiraiya went and stood between Tsunade and Naruto while facing his fellow Sannin.
"Tsunade-hime," Jiraiya pleaded, though his voice carried a serious overtone, "Please! It doesn't have to come to this!"
"I'll deal with you later Jiraiya right after I'm done educating the boy about the consequences of using my loved ones as tools against me!" Tsunade retorted sharply.
"Nawaki and Dan would be far from happy to see how you've changed so drastically from who you used to be Tsunade," Naruto remarked.
"Shut up!" Tsunade yelled as she suddenly dashed and delivered a solid punch to Naruto, sending him flying through the casino and ultimately through the wall of the establishment.
"NARUTO-KUN!" Hinata yelled with a shocked and frightened tone after seeing what happened to her lover. Not wasting time, Tsunade raced through the casino and pursued Naruto through the newly made hole in the wall with the others chasing after her. She hurried over to the Jinchuuriki lying motionlessly on the ground, only to find that what laid in the rubble was a Naruto clone that puffed out.
"Looking for me?" Naruto asked loudly from the roof the establishment they were previously inside of. Tsunade looked up to see Naruto standing on the roof as Shizune, Jiraiya and the others came rushing through the hole in the wall. They stopped and stood their distance from Tsunade as she was looking up at Naruto.
"Years ago at the ninja academy," Naruto said, "I first took out Sandaime-jiisan and showed that I could have killed him if I wanted to. A little more than a month ago, I fought against Orochimaru in a one-on-one death match, and twice I almost killed him in that fight, forcing him to retreat. A few days after that fight, I fiercely battled Jiraiya to a stalemate."
"Is that suppose to intimidate me?" Tsunade asked coldly.
"No," Naruto replied, "I'm just pointing out that fighting you will just complete the circle. I'll give you one last offer to comply in returning back with us peacefully."
"After that stunt you pulled using my memories of Nawaki and Dan against me just moments ago I'm in no mood to negotiate with you!" Tsunade replied as she cracked her knuckles and gave Naruto a look that said she was going to fight him head on instead. Naruto narrowed his hardened eyes dangerously at her and gave her the same look he gave Orochimaru.
"Fine! We won't do things the easy way!" Naruto declared as he summoned his Kiba Blades and charged them up with lightning dancing around and between the blades, "We'll now do things the Uzumaki way! Ninpō: Ikazuchi no Kiba (Ninja Art: Lightning Fangs)!
By drawing together his twin swords, Naruto sent electrical essence into the clouds, and a moment later he started firing highly charged lightning strikes from the skies straight at Tsunade in multiple directions, forcing her to retreat and keep from being struck as Hinata and the other Uzumakis with her moved in and looked for opportunities to attack and take Tsunade down. The citizens and tourists in the vicinity ran for their lives as all hell was breaking out. Jiraiya knew he had to do something fast before things got worse though he knew that Tsunade was at a serious disadvantage with Naruto armed with what he knew about her and with his clan and Hinata backing him up…
A fierce battle between Naruto and Tsunade is taking place with Hinata and his Uzumaki clan members backing him up. Will Jiraiya find a way to resolve this fight and convince Tsunade to return? Or will Tsunade be arrested and forced back to Konoha as ordered by the Sandaime Hokage? Find out next time.
