"Darui-Sensei, what kind of contract do they have to sign? I mean, that Tazuna guy?" Naruto asked, his eyes narrowing slightly as he stood guard outside the house with his sensei.
The Kumo team had refused the offer to stay inside the house with the Konoha shinobi. Omoi had used his Earth Affinity to construct a makeshift house of stone and dirt nearby. It wasn't comfortable, but it didn't need to be. They weren't planning on staying long—just until Tazuna signed the contract. After that, it would be a matter of dealing with Gato and his men. The real mission, though, was Zabuza. The Raikage had given strict orders: recruit the missing-nin or kill him, claim the bounty, and retrieve Kubikiribōchōfor Kumo.
Darui glanced down at Naruto briefly before turning his gaze to the darkening sky. "You don't need to worry about that, Naruto. You're a Genin. Your job is to follow orders, nothing more."
Naruto clenched his jaw, his fists tightening at his sides. He wasn't a kid anymore. He couldn't just turn a blind eye to what his village was doing. His mind wandered back to the Land of Tea, to the mission that had left a bitter taste in his mouth. He had been willing to do anything—kill that kid, take down the Konoha team—all in the name of Kumo, all to make his father and grandfather proud. Back then, he hadn't cared about the people of the Land of Tea, hadn't cared that they would suffer. They were just another neutral territory outside of the Land of Lightning, not his concern.
His grandfather's words echoed in his mind.
"Alliances don't mean friendship, Naruto. They just mean we're not killing each other... yet. Always be ready to strike first, even at your allies. They'll do the same when the time comes."
The thought of his grandfather only made his anger burn hotter.
"What were you going to do to her?"
"You don't want to know that, Naruto."
Naruto's foot stomped down hard, purple lightning crackling at his fingertips. Darui glanced down at him, his brow furrowing with mild concern.
"Why do you keep treating me like I'm a kid, Darui-Sensei?" Naruto snapped, his voice edged with frustration. "I'm not. I just need—"
"Why do you need to know that?" Darui cut him off, his tone colder than usual. The sharpness of his voice made Naruto flinch, his anger momentarily retreating as he took a step back.
Darui pushed himself away from the wall, standing to his full height as he turned to face Naruto completely. His gaze bore down on the young shinobi, the weight of authority clear in his eyes.
Naruto stiffened, unsure of what to expect from his sensei. Was Darui about to lash out at him? Attack him for questioning things? His muscles tensed in anticipation, but Darui, as if sensing his apprehension, softened his expression.
"Naruto," Darui said seriously, his voice steady but calm, "the day I attack my own Genin is the day I stop being a Jonin of Kumo."
Naruto felt some of the tension ease from his body. His sensei's words grounded him a little, though the frustration still simmered beneath the surface. Darui continued, his gaze turning upward toward the night sky. "I understand what you're feeling. The mission in the Land of Tea wasn't easy. We were ordered to aid the Wagarashi Family, even though it was clear how much the people despised them. Securing their power for another five years was part of our orders."
Naruto clenched his fists, remembering the bitterness he had felt during that mission. He had blindly followed orders, not questioning whether they were right or wrong.
"I was in your position once," Darui confessed, his voice carrying a weariness Naruto hadn't noticed before. "I thought my black lightning could fix things. That I could make this world a better place. But this world... it doesn't care about our ideals or what we think is good. We're shinobi. We follow orders, even when they're hard to stomach."
Naruto blinked, surprised. For the first time, Darui didn't seem like the powerful Jonin he always knew. Instead, he looked... tired.
"Stomach it?" Naruto echoed, his voice barely above a whisper.
Darui nodded. "Yes. You've only been a Genin for three months, Naruto, but you've already seen it. Sometimes, our orders force us to do things we don't agree with. That's why so many shinobi remain at the Chunin rank. It's safer. As long as they stay in the village, they don't have to face the hard truths of the outside world. They don't have to live with the weight of knowing their mission might lead to suffering."
Naruto fell silent, his eyes drifting up to the stars. His mind swirled with confusion, questions he wasn't sure he wanted to answer. He tried to picture his home, but the image was blurred, uncertain. Was Kumo his home? Was it with his friends—Yoruichi, Omoi, Karui, Yugito, Samui, Mabui, his Uncle Bee, and Darui-sensei? Were they his family?
For so long, he had been certain. He was a Genin of Kumo, destined to become Raikage and lead the country to greatness. But now... what did greatness even mean?
"What were you going to do to her?"
"You don't want to know that, Naruto."
The thought of doing something like that to anyone ever. Naruto couldn't imagine it. Since learning about his parents, he wasn't sure anymore where that put him exactly. Was he a Kumo Shinobi or a Konoha Shinobi, or maybe he was neither, and if he wasn't a shinobi, What was he?
"As for your question," Darui said, breaking the silence, "the contract with Tazuna is meant to secure this place. It's not a ploy, Naruto. If he signs it, this village won't have to worry about bandits or men like Gato. It'll be a safe haven. I promise you that."
Naruto nodded, a sense of relief washing over him. Despite everything, he trusted Darui. His sensei had always been straightforward, and Naruto knew that he could count on him. With that reassurance, the mission didn't feel as heavy anymore.
Darui placed a comforting hand on Naruto's back. "I know it's hard to understand, and you're probably feeling confused about who you are. I can't pretend to know exactly what you're going through. But remember, Kumo will always be a home for you. Whether that's tied to your grandfather, your father, or your friends... they all love you. And they'll be there for you. But if you ever want to go... somewhere else, Naruto, the choice is yours."
Naruto looked up at his sensei, a smile tugging at his lips for the first time that night. "Thank you, Sensei."
Darui smiled back, patting him on the shoulder. "Anytime, kid."
Tomorrow
"Sensei, why should we even bother? They're weak. Too weak," Yugito complained, her voice dripping with boredom as they made their way through the forest toward the meeting spot with Team Kakashi.
Darui barely glanced at her, his tone as flat as ever. "It's just a friendly spar, Yugito. And who knows, you might actually learn something."
Yugito snorted in disbelief. "Please. The only one worth anything is Kakashi. The rest? Small fries." She waved dismissively as if the thought of fighting them was beneath her.
Darui kept his eyes ahead, unfazed. Omoi, however, seemed to mull it over. "I wouldn't underestimate them, Yugito. The Uchiha kid has the Sharingan, and that's not something to take lightly. It's up there with the most powerful bloodlines—like Wood Style, Mirror Style, Skinchanging, or the Kaguya Clan's Bone Style."
Yugito rolled her eyes. She knew about the Sharingan's reputation, but Sasuke? He wasn't that impressive. "Yeah, yeah. Uchiha, whatever," she muttered.
Naruto, who had been quiet up until now, broke his silence. "And don't forget the one with the fake smile." His voice had a sharp edge, his usual cheerfulness replaced by suspicion. "That pale guy. Sai. He's way too strong to be just a Genin. I think he's here for a different reason."
Darui raised an eyebrow at Naruto's tone. It was rare for him to show that kind of anger, but it didn't go unnoticed by the others.
"Maybe he's just there to protect the last Uchiha," Omoi mused, scratching his chin. "Wouldn't surprise me if the higher-ups are already making plans to make sure Sasuke has kids. Gotta keep that bloodline alive, right?"
Yugito's eyes widened in horror. "You think the Kage would force him to have children?" Her voice held a rare note of shock. She didn't care about Sasuke personally, but the idea of someone being ordered to have children against their will made her stomach turn.
Before Omoi could answer, Darui stepped in. "That's not happening. It's against the Law of Clan Privacy. All five Great Nations respect that. The Kage has no right to interfere in clan matters as long as they don't pose a threat to the village. That's why some clans still have... questionable practices. The Kage turns a blind eye to keep their loyalty. As for Sasuke, they'll probably give him plenty of 'opportunities' to rebuild the Uchiha clan, but they won't force him. That'd be a fast way to lose his loyalty—and if the other clans got wind of it, it could spark a civil war."
Naruto, Omoi, and Yugito absorbed his words in silence. They kept walking; the Konoha team came into view. The moment they closed the distance, the quiet was shattered by an all-too-familiar voice.
"YOU'RE LATE!" the pink-haired girl—Sakura, or Sakuna, or whatever—screeched, her face red with frustration. Honestly, who cared what her name was?
Darui offered a half-smile, scratching the back of his head. "Sorry about that. We had a few things to check before heading out."
Kakashi shrugged, completely unbothered, as if being late was the most normal thing in the world. "No worries," he said lazily. "Happens to the best of us. No need. I only got here five minutes ago, so I didn't have to wait long," Kakashi said casually, his visible eye curving in a smile. His gaze briefly flicked to Naruto before settling back on Darui.
"Thanks for agreeing to this. I've already told my Genin that this is just a friendly competition—nothing more," Kakashi continued, his tone easy. Sasuke, who had been standing silently beside him, took a confident step forward, smirking. Without hesitation, he jabbed a finger at Naruto.
"I want to fight him," Sasuke declared, his voice brimming with challenge.
Yugito's eyes narrowed, already annoyed by Sasuke's arrogance. What's this punk's problem? She didn't understand why Sasuke always seemed to have a bone to pick with Naruto, but it was starting to get on her nerves.
"That won't be a problem," Naruto cut in before anyone else could speak. He stepped forward, his expression calm but with a smirk playing at his lips. "Let's just get this over with, so I can move on to a real fight." His eyes glinted with mischief, and Sasuke's cocky facade faltered, his smirk twisting into a scowl. His eyes flashed crimson, the Sharingan activating in an instant.
Despite the infamous power before him, Naruto wasn't fazed. Sharingan or not, I'm not backing down. He knew the risks of facing the Uchiha's legendary bloodline. One mistake could be fatal, but that didn't make Sasuke invincible.
"GO, SASUKE! SHOW HIM! WITH THE SHARINGAN, NO ONE CAN BEAT YOU!" Sakura screeched from the sidelines, her fists clenched, her eyes shining with blind adoration. Yugito rolled her eyes, already irritated by the shrill cheerleader routine.
Ugh, another loudmouth fangirl. Great.
"I wouldn't be so sure, Sakura," Sai chimed in with his usual, detached smile. "Sasuke might have his fancy red eyes, but he's still Sasuke—no matter how shiny his new contacts are." His voice was light, but the jab hit home. Sakura's face turned beet red as she swung a fist at Sai, who effortlessly dodged her flailing attacks with his usual nonchalance, not even bothering to look at her.
Kakashi stepped between them before the fight could escalate. "Enough. Watch the match. This is important," he ordered, his voice carrying a hint of steel. Sakura huffed dramatically but turned back to Sasuke, ready to resume her cheerleader duties.
Across the field, Omoi scratched his head, deep in thought. "Is it just me, or are all Konoha kunoichi just... big fangirls? Or do we just have the worst luck? Every time we run into a team from Konoha, there's always one girl who can't stop swooning over some guy." He paused, his brow furrowing. "Wait... what if this is all some secret tactic? Like, they make everyone think they're weak, and then BAM! They're actually way stronger than we think, and by the time we realize it—"
"Omoi, shut up!" Yugito snapped, glaring at him. "You're overthinking it, as usual."
Omoi gave a sheepish grin. "Sorry, sorry. Maybe I'll get you some milk to calm down, huh?" He barely dodged her punch, ducking behind Darui with a laugh. Darui sighed, rubbing his temple as he glanced between his bickering team.
Sometimes I wonder if being a Jonin is really worth it, Darui thought as Yugito scowled, her fists still clenched, before turning her glare back to the Konoha team. Sakura was already back to chanting Sasuke's name like he was a one-man army.
"I'm betting none of them are all that impressive," Yugito muttered, folding her arms. "If the Academy's handing out shinobi emblems to kids like this, it tells you how stale Konoha's gotten. Their Hokage is, what, eighty years old? Way past his prime. No wonder their new generation is a joke."
Her words dripped with disdain, her tone cold and bitter. She didn't bother hiding her loathing for the Konoha team—or the village, for that matter.
"Don't count them out just yet," Darui remarked quietly. "Underestimating them could cost us."
Yugito huffed but said nothing more, her eyes fixed on the upcoming fight. Naruto better show that Uchiha brat where he stands.
.
Naruto's fists clenched, his focus locked on Sasuke. Chakra surged through his veins, but he wasn't channeling it into his usual jutsu.
"Are you going to do something, or just stand there?" Sasuke taunted, his voice dripping with confidence. His Sharingan gleamed, daring Naruto to make the first move. "I want to see what kind of jutsu a Kumo shinobi would use."
Naruto smirked, his expression casual, almost dismissive. "Oh, you mean so you can copy them with those shiny red eyes of yours?"
Sasuke's jaw tightened in annoyance. "So what? Gonna stick to Taijutsu then? You'll have no choice but to use real jutsu once I start."
Naruto's smirk widened. "Why waste my energy? What kind of fool uses a cannon to squash an ant?"
That hit home. Sasuke's eyes flared red with rage, the black tomoe in his Sharingan spinning dangerously. "You will regret underestimating me."
Naruto and Sasuke stood opposite each other. Naruto clenched his fists, his body coiled like a spring. Across from him, Sasuke narrowed his eyes, already forming hand seals for his fire-based jutsu.
The moment of stillness shattered as Sasuke launched forward, his Sharingan spinning wildly. He exhaled sharply, sending a massive"Fireball Jutsu," roaring toward Naruto. The flames spiraled with intense heat.
"Let's do this!" Naruto growled, launching himself sideways with speed that nearly blurred his form. The fireball exploded against the ground where he had stood moments earlier, sending chunks of earth flying into the air. Naruto skidded to a halt, his eyes sharp as he charged straight toward Sasuke, fists raised.
Sasuke didn't hesitate. With a quick flick of his wrist, he threw several paper bombs, sticking them to the ground around Naruto's path. The explosives detonated in a series of powerful blasts, sending smoke and debris into the air.
But Naruto had already anticipated the move. He leaped high into the air, twisting his body mid-flight to avoid the explosions below. As he descended, his eyes met Sasuke's.
He landed with a thunderous kick, the force of which sent a shockwave through the ground. Sasuke barely had time to react, deflecting the strike with his arm, but the sheer power behind Naruto's kick caused him to stumble back.
Naruto pressed the advantage, rushing forward with a flurry of punches and kicks, his movements flowing seamlessly from one attack to the next. Sasuke blocked and dodged, his Sharingan predicting Naruto's every move. But Naruto's relentless assault left no room for Sasuke to retaliate.
Sasuke jumped back, weaving hand seals rapidly before spewing another massive "Fireball Jutsu." The searing heat surged toward Naruto once again, but this time, Naruto didn't dodge. He charged straight through, his body a blur of movement as he spun and ducked beneath the flames. The fire scorched his clothes and singed his skin, but Naruto didn't falter.
Sasuke's eyes widened in shock at the sheer audacity of Naruto's move. "You're crazy!" Sasuke shouted, preparing another attack.
Before he could act, Naruto was already upon him. He ducked low and swept Sasuke's legs out from under him with a powerful kick, sending him crashing to the ground. Naruto followed up with a downward punch aimed directly at Sasuke's midsection.
Sasuke rolled just in time, evading the blow by inches. His hands blurred into motion again, slapping a handful of paper bombs onto Naruto's chest. With a smirk, he jumped back and detonated them.
The explosion rocked the battlefield, smoke billowing up into the sky. For a moment, Sasuke thought he had won. But through the smoke, Naruto emerged, battered but still standing. His clothes were torn, and blood dripped from his knuckles, but his grin never wavered.
"You'll have to do better than that!" Naruto shouted, rushing forward.
Sasuke's Sharingan spun furiously as he prepared to counter, but Naruto's speed had become too much. Every punch landed like a hammer, driving Sasuke further and further back. Naruto's footwork was relentless, each step calculated to keep Sasuke off balance. A quick elbow to Sasuke's ribs left him gasping, followed by a spinning kick that sent him sprawling to the ground.
Breathing hard, Sasuke got to his feet, eyes blazing with frustration. He weaved more hand seals, ready to unleash yet another "Fireball Jutsu," but Naruto was already closing the gap. Before Sasuke could finish the technique, Naruto's fist collided with his gut, knocking the air out of him. The fireball dissipated harmlessly as Sasuke doubled over in pain.
Not letting up for even a second, Naruto grabbed Sasuke by the arm, spun him around, and slammed him into the ground with a brutal throw. The impact shook the earth, leaving Sasuke groaning in a shallow crater.
Naruto stood over him, breathing heavily but triumphant. "It's over, Sasuke," he said, his voice firm.
Sasuke tried to rise, but his body betrayed him. Bruised and exhausted, he glared up at Naruto, anger and frustration flashing in his eyes. "How... how did you..."
"I don't really know how to answer that," Naruto said with a shrug, glancing at Sasuke, whose eyes still burned with frustration. "But what I can say is you need to train more—and train what gives you an advantage." His tone was casual, almost dismissive, but there was no malice in his words. Naruto didn't have anything against Sasuke, really. The guy could be a pain, sure, but Naruto could sympathize with him. After all, Sasuke's entire family had been butchered by his older brother. Naruto knew he'd be a wreck if something like that happened to him.
After the fight, Naruto rejoined his squad. Omoi greeted him with a fist bump, and Yugito pulled him into a hug—one he definitely didn't mind, especially when he felt her body pressed against his. He gave a smirk, though the moment didn't last long.
The second fight was already about to begin, this time between Yugito and the pink-haired girl, Sakura Haruno. Yugito scoffed as she walked forward, barely concealing her boredom.
"Usually, I'd wish you good luck," Naruto teased with a grin. "But if I did, Sakura might give up, so... bad luck."
Yugito rolled her eyes but smirked in amusement. "Don't worry, I'll make this quick."
As Yugito faced off with Sakura, she could tell from a single glance—Sakura had never faced a real shinobi. She might've fought criminals or low-level threats, but it was clear she didn't know what she was walking into. Yugito almost pitied her.
"Before we start," Yugito said, her tone dripping with condescension, "are all Kunoichi from Konoha this pathetic, or is it just my bad luck to keep running into you lot?"
Sakura's eyes narrowed, gripping her kunai tightly. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Well, in a mission we completed, we encountered a Konoha team, do you know a Ino Yamanaka?"
Sakura blinked in surprise. "Wait—you've met Ino? So you'rethe reason she's been training so hard!" Her voice carried an edge of accusation, her earlier nervousness quickly replaced with anger.
Yugito's eyebrow raised slightly. She remembered the blonde Konoha girl saying something about training and swearing she'd beat her one day. Yugito had brushed it off at the time, assuming it was just empty talk. But maybe she'd underestimated her. "Hmm," Yugito muttered, almost to herself. "Looks like I was wrong. If she's really pushing herself, maybe she deserves a second chance to prove it."
Sakura's face twisted with fury. "You terrorizedIno!" she shouted, voice trembling with emotion. "Because of you, we can't even talk about Sasuke anymore!"
Yugito paused, taken aback for a moment. She blinked, and then—realizing that Sakura was serious—she burst out laughing. "Wait... hold on. That's what you're upset about?" she scoffed, shaking her head in disbelief. "You're mad because you can't gossip about some boy anymore?"
"Okay, that's it," Yugito muttered under her breath, completely done with this nonsense.
"Bring it on!" Sakura shouted, her voice cracking slightly with fear. "I'll defeat you with one hit!"
Yugito crossed her arms, watching as Sakura rushed at her, her movements clumsy, her face pale with nerves. Yugito barely suppressed a yawn. "You really think you stand a chance?" she drawled, her voice dripping with disdain.
Sakura ran towards her and threw a punch aimed at Yugito's face, but in the blink of an eye, Yugito sidestepped effortlessly, her mocking smile widening.
"Too slow," Yugito taunted.
Sakura gritted her teeth, spinning around to throw a kick, but Yugito effortlessly ducked under it, dodging without so much as a drop of sweat. Sakura growled in frustration, trying to land blow after blow—punches, kicks, everything she had—but Yugito dodged them all, not even bothering to counter.
"You're pathetic," Yugito sneered as she gracefully danced around another punch. "You call yourself a shinobi, but you fight like a child."
Sakura's breath came in ragged gasps. No matter how hard she tried, Yugito remained untouchable, moving with cat-like precision, as if the fight was nothing more than a game to her.
"Come on, at least try to hit me," Yugito said mockingly, standing perfectly still as Sakura lunged again. This time, just before Sakura's fist could connect, Yugito stepped behind her, so fast that Sakura barely registered the movement.
"Oops," Yugito whispered into her ear before delivering a sharp kick to the back of Sakura's legs, sending her sprawling into the mud.
Sakura scrambled to her feet, her pride bruised more than her body. "Stop running!" she shouted in frustration, her fists trembling. "Fight me seriously!"
Yugito chuckled darkly. "Fight you seriously? Why would I waste my time on a weakling like you? You're not even worth the effort."
Sakura lunged again, her vision blurring with anger, but Yugito continued to dodge with ease, never letting Sakura land a single hit. With every miss, Yugito's mocking laughter grew louder, cutting deep into Sakura's confidence.
"You can't even touch me," Yugito said, sidestepping another punch. She swept Sakura's legs out from under her again, sending her crashing to the ground. "What do you even bring to your team? They must pity you."
Sakura's face twisted in a mix of rage and humiliation. Her fists dug into the dirt as she pushed herself up, but the burning shame in her chest was undeniable.
"You're useless," Yugito continued, circling her like a predator playing with its prey. "Just a weak little girl pretending to be a kunoichi. Your friends are probably embarrassed by you."
Sakura lunged one more time, desperation fueling her movements, but Yugito dodged once again. This time, however, she decided to end the fight. In an instant, she slammed her knee directly into Sakura's stomach, knocking the wind out of her. Sakura's eyes widened in shock and pain as she doubled over, gasping for air.
Yugito grabbed her by the hair, yanking her up to look her in the eyes. "You'll never be anything more than a liability. Remember that."
Without hesitation, Yugito brought her knee up again—this time slamming it directly into Sakura's face. There was a sickening crunch as Sakura's nose broke on impact, blood spraying from her nostrils as she crumpled to the ground in agony.
Sakura lay in the mud, clutching her face as tears mixed with the rain. Yugito stood over her, smirking triumphantly.
"Stay down," Yugito said coldly, turning her back on the broken girl. "You're not worth my time."
And with that, Yugito turned on her heel and walked away, leaving Sakura humiliated, defeated, and utterly shattered on the ground.
"Was that really necessary?" Kakashi's voice cut through the tension as Yugito made her way back to her team, his tone calm but laced with a hint of reproach.
Yugito was about to answer, but Naruto beat her to it. "Yes," he said firmly, much to her surprise. "I hate to say it, but right now that girl's a liability." His voice was sharp, cutting through the silence like a blade. "This world doesn't show mercy to the weak. If she doesn't get stronger, then she should either give up on being a shinobi or start taking it seriously. Otherwise, someone's going to die trying to save her, and that's a much crueler wake-up call than a knee to the face." Naruto finished, shooting a wink at Yugito.
Yugito couldn't help the smirk that spread across her face. She wrapped her arm around Naruto's and, without hesitation, pressed a quick kiss to his lips, her eyes gleaming with mischief.
"Thanks, Naruto," she whispered, her voice soft but filled with amusement.
Naruto grinned back, his eyes flickering with playful confidence. "Hmm, maybe I should stand up for you more often," he said, flashing her a cheeky smile. "I wouldn't mind getting more... rewards."
Yugito giggled, the sound light and teasing. She could feel his arms slipping around her waist, and for a fleeting moment, she wished he'd let his hands wander lower, but she pushed the thought aside.
As they settled back in with their team, the next fight was set to begin. Omoi stepped forward, his eyes narrowing as he locked onto his opponent—Sai, the pale, emotionless shinobi from Konoha. Suddenly, Sai raised his hand casually.
"I give up," he announced flatly, his expression unchanged, like he hadn't just turned down a fight in front of his entire team.
Konoha's team blinked in surprise.
"Well... that was an interesting fight," Naruto muttered under his breath.
Yugito scowled, watching as Sai returned to his team. She couldn't quite place it, but something about the pale boy bothered her. Why give up like that? She wanted to believe it was fear, that he'd realized he was outclassed, but deep down, she knew that wasn't the case. He wasn't afraid—he simply didn't care.
Omoi stood still for a moment, his sharp gaze tracking Sai's every movement. There was something off about him. The way he smiled—so fake, so distant—it was as if there wasn't a single real emotion beneath that mask.
As Sai rejoined his team, Sakura—still recovering from her earlier defeat—was mercifully silent. But Sasuke, as expected, wasn't.
"You gave up just like that?" Sasuke scoffed, his voice dripping with disdain. His Sharingan flickered briefly as if testing Sai. "You're useless."
Sai's smile didn't waver, not even a twitch. "I'm sorry," he said coolly, "but unlike you, I don't enjoy the taste of mud and dirt in my mouth. I suppose you've grown accustomed to it."
Sasuke's face twisted with fury, his eyes flaring dangerously as he took a threatening step forward. "What did you just say?!"
Before things could escalate, Kakashi smoothly intervened, stepping between them with a raised hand. His visible eye was calm but firm, a silent warning to both boys. "That's enough," he said, his voice low but authoritative. "We're here to spar, not fight each other."
Sasuke clenched his fists, his jaw tight, but he stepped back, still glaring daggers at Sai. Meanwhile, Sai just tilted his head slightly, his smile never faltering, as though the whole exchange had been nothing more than a trivial annoyance.
Yugito crossed her arms, watching the interaction with narrowed eyes. "What's his deal?" she muttered to Naruto.
"No idea," Naruto replied, his tone thoughtful. "But something's off about that guy. Way too calm. It's like nothing gets under his skin."
"Maybe he doesn't have any skin," Omoi added, glancing at Sai with suspicion. "He looks like a corpse someone forgot to bury."
Yugito smirked. "Well, whatever he is, he's not stupid. Giving up saved him from getting wrecked by Omoi." She shot a glance at Omoi, who merely shrugged, still eyeing Sai like he was trying to solve a puzzle.
Later
After fighting each other for two more hours. Darui ordered Omoi to watch over the bridge, and he himself had gone to Tazuna to talk about the contract, leaving the two others alone in the stone house.
Naruto was sitting before the fire in his room that Omoi had built for them all. That's when he heard footsteps behind him.
"Naruto," Yugito called softly, her voice a little shaky. She usually carried herself with confidence, but today, there was something different about her tone.
Naruto turned, smiling brightly as always. "Yugito! I thought you were talking with Sensei."
Yugito hesitated for a moment, her hands fidgeting as she approached him. She sat down beside him, tucking a strand of blonde hair behind her ear. "Sensei is busy with Omoi, something about the future of the world or something," Yugito said, and Naruto chuckled.
He could already imagine that, but he noticed that something was bothering her. "What about you, Yugito? What are you doing?"
"I was just... thinking. About stuff."
Naruto raised an eyebrow, curious. "Stuff? That sounds serious." He grinned, trying to lighten the mood. "You're not about to challenge me to a sparring match, are you?"
Yugito laughed, but it was a nervous sound. "No, nothing like that." She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, then quickly looked away. Her heart was pounding, and she could feel her palms sweating.
Naruto noticed her unease and leaned in a little, his face softening. "Hey, is everything okay? You can talk to me, you know."
Yugito took a deep breath, her mind racing. She had spent so long pushing her feelings aside, convincing herself they weren't real, or that Naruto was too focused on other things to even notice. But here he was, always so kind, always so... *Naruto*.
"I just... There's something I've been wanting to tell you for a while now, but I didn't really know how," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Naruto's face shifted, concern now clear in his eyes. "You're making me worried, Yugito. What's going on?"
Yugito laughed again, this time more naturally, and shook her head. "You don't need to worry. It's just... I've been thinking about how hard you work, how much you care about everyone, and... well..."
Naruto blinked, completely clueless. "Yeah?"
Yugito turned to face him fully, gathering all her courage. Her slit eyes locked onto his, and for a moment, the whole world seemed to go quiet around them. "I think... no, I *know*... I have feelings for you, Naruto. I've had them for a while now."
Naruto's eyes widened, and his mouth opened in surprise. "Yugito..."
"I know you probably didn't expect this. Maybe you never thought of me that way, and that's okay. But I couldn't keep pretending like these feelings weren't there." Yugito's heart was racing now, but there was a sense of relief, too. She had finally said it.
Naruto was silent for a moment, his face showing a mixture of surprise and confusion. "Yugito, I... I didn't know you felt that way."
Yugito looked down, feeling a little embarrassed now that the words were out there. "Yeah, I figured. But... I just had to tell you."
Naruto rubbed the back of his head, his usual nervous habit. "Honestly, I never really thought about it like that, but... you're amazing, Yugito. You're strong, and you're always looking out for your friends."
Yugito's breath caught, and she looked up at him hopefully. "Do you mean that?"
Naruto gave her a soft, sincere smile. "Yeah, I do." He hesitated, then added, "Maybe we could see where this goes, you know?"
Yugito's heart skipped a beat, and before she could second-guess herself, she leaned forward, closing the gap between them. Her lips gently brushed against his, and for a moment, everything else disappeared—the village, their responsibilities, the world. It was just the two of them, under the fading light of the sunset.
Naruto froze for a split second before he returned the kiss, his hand coming up to cup her cheek gently. It was a soft, tentative kiss, and when they finally pulled apart, both of them were smiling, their cheeks flushed.
Yugito laughed quietly, resting her forehead against his. "You really are dense, Naruto."
He chuckled, still a little dazed. "Yeah, maybe... but I'm figuring it out." Soon, the two continued the kiss. The second kiss was calmer, but the third one was passionate.
"You're beautiful, Yugito," Naruto said with a bright smile, not wanting to look anywhere else. Her cheeks warmed more than ever before, her pink tongue licked her lips, and she felt lost in his eyes, her heart beating in her chest. She felt like she could look into his eyes forever.
"You are handsome, Naruto, and I want you. Will you have me?" Naruto didn't say anything. Instead, he kissed her, and she moaned in bliss.
Their eyes closed as they kissed, and they did not care about anything else. They were together, and their hearts knew what they felt for one another.
"Are you sure about this?" he asked, breathing heavily. He tried to get rid of his clothes as he kissed Yugito. She giggled when he almost tripped, a sound that he wanted to hear more.
"Yes, I want You. Right Now!" Yugito said with a sultry voice as they shared another sweet kiss.
Naruto took off his shirt before bringing Yugito close to him. Their faces were inches away from each other, and Yugito felt his chest while he slowly ran his fingers through her blonde hair. He kissed the side of her head, and she giggled in amusement, knowing how much he liked her hair.
Yugito's arms went to the chest area of her top, and she undid it again, this time completely, and her top fell off to the floor. She seductively winked at him and backed to the bed with Naruto guiding her until he was on top of her and got rid of his pants, throwing them somewhere.
He lowered his head to Yugito's stomach and began kissing it while his hands snaked up to her breasts, and he caressed and fondled them with his fingertips.
"Yesss, more Naruto," she moaned, loving the feeling of his lips on her body; his lips found hers, sharing another kiss that took their breath away.
They suddenly pulled away; they stared at each other.
"Ahh..." Yugito moaned when she was gently pushed against the wall, the shinobi now taking charge as he kissed her like a rabbit in heat.
"Naruto..." she again moaned, her sweet honey voice mixed with her desire and lust, making his hardened member twitch, now pulsing painfully.
Leaning back, the two breathed deeply as light panting sounds filled the room. They gazed at each other through half-lidded eyes, their noses touching each other as they took in much-needed oxygen.
"Yugito...." Naruto groaned when he felt his hardened shaft being squeezed gently while a small smirk found its way to her lips.
"Y-You are so big, Naruto," she whispered in his ear, nibbling on it sensually. Damn, she was driving him crazy! Her scent, her tongue, her lips, her eyes...the way she was stroking his cock.
'He's huge!' she mentally thought.
Leaning in, he growled in a low tone.
"My turn now..." A look of surprise crossed her face before a loud moan escaped her lips.
"Ohhh...N-Naruto..." he was kneading her right breast now, the shinobi placing passionate kisses on her neck again. Yugito closed her eyes as she leaned her head back, pushing out her chest more to give him more access. It felt so good; her breasts were always so sensitive.
"Ahhh...i-it feels so....good N-Naruto...do it...do it m-more," she moaned, still stroking his cock while now both of his hands were kneading her breasts. He continued to give her bite marks, licking over them sensually as her moans started to get louder.
"O-Ohh my god...Naruto...suck them..." Her breathing was even heavier now while lust had completely overtaken Naruto as he started to nibble on her ear. Going down, he placed several butterfly kisses on her neck, now sporting several bite marks, while his hands continued to grope her breasts.
He lightly pinched her hard nipples, driving out a loud moan from her as he traced his tongue into her cleavage, a trail of saliva visible from her neck. Her trembling hands slowly got hold of his warm meat pole as Naruto groaned loudly.
Yugito felt herself losing control as she tenderly stroked his bare cock now, which was now grinding against her dripping cunt.
"Ahh yes...a-amazing..." her moans encouraged him as he leaned down to take her left nipple in his mouth while his right hand pinched her other nipple.
"Ohh...so gooood...." Yugito threw her head back as she cupped his head from behind, pushing him in while Naruto eagerly ran his tongue over her areola, sucking and biting on them as he drew her crazy. His hands would easily slide over her sweaty breasts as he continued to knead her right tit while sucking onto her left nipple like a baby.
Stopping his 'breast sucking,' he leaned upwards to take her luscious lips into another hot kiss, making her moan in ecstasy, his right hand roughly groping her right breast while he continued to grind his bare cock against her wet lower region.
Leaning back, he grinned at her lightly as she stared at him through her half-lidded eyes, inwardly shocked to see this side of his.
Nibbling on her ear, biting her earlobe, he whispered huskily.
"I will make you scream, everyone will hear you," this made her whimper as her juices dripped down her nether regions.
His hands moved lower to her bare pussy, his hand squeezing her big arse.
"Ohh...Yesss," Yugito hissed as he began to rub her clit, his left hand still groping her breasts as he leaned in to capture her pink lips. Yugito was so lost in the pleasure that her hand automatically stopped stroking his cock, though it still held its gentle grip on it.
"Mmmm..." her moans were turning him on so much as he nibbled on her lower lip lightly, his left hand playing with her bare tits while he continued to rub her.
"Ahh...N-Naruto.... more Naruto!!" Yugito broke out of the kiss as she moaned sweetly, her eyes closed, her right hand resting on his shoulder while he started to rub her bare clit gently. She thrust her lower body forward, opening her legs a bit to give him more access.
"Enjoying...Yugito?" Naruto whispered in his husky voice. God! She couldn't think straight now; he was so good!
"Y-Yesss....please d-don't s-stop Naruto...." She panted out as he began to finger her, wet sloshing sounds mixed with their pants fueling their lust. Naruto suddenly stopped making her whimper while he grabbed her; he made her sit on the edge of the bed; he bent on his knees, his left hand reluctantly leaving her breasts, his warm and wet tongue trailing circles around her belly button, making her giggle a bit. He then gently probed his tongue into her belly button, resulting in her squirming a bit. Leaning down, Naruto noticed her clean, shaved pussy.
"What are you doing?" Yugito couldn't help but whimper. She wanted more of his fingers.
"I promised you, I will make you scream." Naruto growled.
"But-t why are you down there-Ohhh, Ohh, Ohh! Fuckk!!" Yugito moaned loudly as her knees buckled. Naruto had a surprised expression on his face as he tasted her love juice.
"Naruto....m-more..." she pleaded while panting, a sheen layer of sweat covering her body, giving it an ethereal glow. Smiling softly at her, he again leaned forward as he began to lap up her juices hungrily, making her moan uncontrollably.
"O-Oh my...it feels so..." she whimpered, her hands now resting gently on his back head as she pushed him a bit deeper; not wanting this feeling to end, she was just about to cum anyway. Naruto, however, shoved his tongue deeper into her clit, while Yugito clutched his blonde hair.
"Naruto.....I...I'm cumming!" she moaned loudly this time, pushing his head in deeper as she closed her thighs. Her moans got louder as she experienced the best orgasm of her life, her mind getting lost in the euphoria.
"Did you enjoy that, Yugito?" Naruto teased as he crawled up to her. While he kissed her beautiful body, she breathed heavily, her mind still trying to understand what had just happened, but she heard his words.
"Ahh, Y-Yugito..." he trailed when she grabbed his cock, a sly smile on her face. Now, he was the one sitting on the bed, giving him another heated kiss while her hand started to stroke his cock. Naruto groaned as she started to place soft, tender kisses on his neck before bending down.
"Ohhh...don't w-worry...I'll take good care of you f-from now on..." she purred with a light giggle, nuzzling her cheek with his hard member, her one hand stroking it at the base while the other cupped his balls. Naruto groaned.
Kissing the tip of his shaft, making him shiver.
"Aghh..." he gritted his teeth upon feeling his dick being covered with warm wetness.
'It feels....so good,' he thought in amazement while Yugito had taken half of his cock in her mouth, now running her soft tongue at the base of it. She moaned while the vibrations through her throat further increased his pleasure as he rested his hands on the back of her head, gently pushing her in.
Getting the signal and inwardly smirking, Yugito further began to engulf his shaft until almost all of it was in.
'Wow...It tastes so Sweet!' she inwardly exclaimed in glee, now leaning back to the tip of his cock before again taking the whole length in her mouth. Naruto, meanwhile, was groaning uncontrollably; this was heaven...pure heaven!
Starting out at a slow rhythmic pace, she began to bob her head- back and forth, all the while her tongue eager, licking his cock.
'Mmm....it's delicious....' She involuntarily thought, both of her hands holding his thighs as she gradually increased her pace while Naruto was already close to cumming, his hands gently fisting a bit of her hair.
"Oh f-fuck!" he cursed as jet streams of his white seed erupted from his cock, spilling over her face and breasts. Naruto had his eyes clenched shut, his hands now tightly clenched into fists by his side as he cummed violently, shooting loads of thick sticky sperm while his member twitched in response. Yugito was moaning, her eyes half-lidded as the warm, thick liquid splashed on her face, now pouring down to her breasts and cleavage.
Soon, it ended as sounds of heavy panting filled the room, the two not moving as they reveled in this feeling, especially Naruto. Yugito began to lick the sperm off her fingers. She moaned at the taste; it was a bit bitter, but still, she didn't know how to explain it; it was delicious and turning her on even more. She wanted to taste more. Wiping her face and breasts with her hands, she continued to gulp down his sperm, all the while moaning in ecstasy.
Naruto slowly opened his eyes, his knees shaking a bit, to see a sight which was almost every man's dream. His blue eyes, filled with lust, slowly widened as he watched her lick his sperm off her body, enjoying it all the while moaning at the taste.
"Mmm...I love it..." her voice seductive as she licked her fingers clean before lifting her eyes to watch him staring at her, his eyes full of desire and lust, making her blush lightly.
"Owww..." Yugito muttered cutely with a light giggle, now lying on the bed with Naruto on top of her, his face nuzzled in her neck.
He lifted his head, now gazing into her eyes.
Leaning down, he quickly captured her lips, kissing her passionately. She, too, instantly returned the affectionate kiss, lovingly sifting through his blonde hair.
"Mmmm..." Yugito moaned loudly when she felt his hardened member rubbing against her outer pussy lips.
"R-Ready?" he asked while panting, whereas she instantly nodded. Both kept gazing into each other's eyes as he pushed his member gently against her lips. Yugito relaxed herself, moaning sexily as she slowly took in his member.
Naruto, too, groaned as he felt warm and wet tightness engulf his cock, as if completely hugging him tightly, never to let it go.
"Ohh...Naruto..." she moaned, now panting heavily as he slowly slid completely inside of her, both of them reveling in this marvelous feeling.
"G-Gosh...s-so good, Oh, Yugito, You are so Tight," Naruto muttered as he clenched the bed sheet tightly. Yugito, too, couldn't believe how good it felt having him inside of her.
"Naruto. Fuck Me...I want you to move..." she panted as he slowly pulled his cock out until just the tip of it was inside her before slowly moving. He gradually began to increase the pace, making sure that she was comfortable while Yugito could only moan at the wonderful sensation.
"Faster..." she moaned as he began to go faster, his hands now grabbing hold of her waist as he started to slam into her, wet sloshing sounds being produced.
"Y-Yes...so g-good N-Naruto..." Yugito moaned loudly as she, too, began to move her hips, matching his motion.
"O-Oh...so g-good...y-yeah, keep it g-going...oh N-Naruto..." Yugito continued to moan loudly as she wrapped her thighs around his waist, locking him in. Beads of sweat rolled down Naruto's face as he continued to ram into her, her tight, slippery insides squeezing his shaft every time he hit her deep inside.
Yugito moaned loudly when he began to go even deeper than before; wet sloshing sounds combined with her sweet voice filled the room.
"Ahhh...s-so good...keep g-going...ahh Naruto...a-amazing," she couldn't stop moaning; the pleasure was out of the world, indescribable. Her whole body was going numb; the feeling of his manhood sliding into her womanhood, filling it like that, was overwhelming. Each time he thrust back in, her body would twitch due to a bolt of pleasure.
Naruto, however, was panting, sweat dripping down his chin as he continued to rock her, displaying his stamina while Yugito just lay there, completely under his mercy.
"Damn..." he growled, further increasing the intensity of his thrusts as he leaned down to take her left nipple in his mouth, sucking on it wildly.
"Ahhhh...N-NARUUU..." Yugito wrapped her arms around his head, holding him tight while her thighs, too, were firmly locked around his waist. Shinobi groaned when he felt her wet inner walls clench his cock while the vibrations from his throat further increased her pleasure as he continued to suck on her nipples.
"Y-Yes...suck o-on them...bite them, Naruto!" she exclaimed in pleasure, arching her back to give him more access to her chest when Naruto lightly bit on her nipple, making her mewl softly. He traced his tongue on the border of her areolas, creating a suction due to his sucking while his teeth tantalizingly grazed with her sensitive nipples before pulling away, looking straight into her eyes as she looked at his.
Naruto groaned when her walls began to clench around his manhood.
"N-Naruto...k-ki-kiss me..." She somehow managed to say. Both of them crashed their lips into each other, kissing each other like crazy as he continued to slam into her.
"I...I...c-cummiiiinggg!" her voice echoed throughout the castle as her body shuddered, a ground-shattering orgasm rocking through her form while her inner, wet, and sloshy walls constricted around his manhood, engulfing it, resulting in Naruto too reaching his limit.
"Ahhh...Yugitooo..." he groaned vociferously, his sweaty body shaking violently as the shinobi shot hot ropes of his creamy sperm, milking her insides. Yugito had her arms tightly wrapped around his neck, being lost in the feeling of him filling her insides like that, her eyes closed while she continued to pant along with him.
Her arms were still wrapped around his neck while his face was nuzzled into her neck, both of them recovering from the amazing feeling. Finding himself getting back his senses as the cold air grazed his body, making him shiver, he pulled out of her, making her moan in what seemed to be disappointment. With somewhat unsteady balance, he pulled the covers over them before laying beside her, hugging her tightly to him.
Yugito slowly opened her eyes when she felt herself being tightly hugged, now her senses coming back as she opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was the warm blue eyes staring back at her. Her lips curved upwards into a dreamy smile as she gazed at his smiling face, her hand slowly lifting to rest on his chest.
"That was amazing, Naruto," Yugito said, still feeling the delicious pleasure she had felt; now, she felt complete. The two enjoyed each other; the comfortable silence felt good as her head rested on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.
