A/N: Looks like you guys find you're way here. Good job.

Danzo watched Ryoku with a glint in her eye, standing tall and composed, yet internally amused by the young man's reaction to her form. His eyes trailed along the dips and rises of her mature body without restraint. Every breath he took was shallow, every twitch in his face gave away his flustered state. She could see the desire practically radiating off him like heat off the stones surrounding the spring. Manipulating him might not even be necessary—he was already ensnared. A slow, knowing smirk curled across her lips. The attention flattered her in a way she hadn't felt in years.
'I read about his exploits in the forest with leaf kunoichi in the reports by my anbu, but I never would've expected him to be this way... He's a pervert to the highest degree, but even still... It's nice to know someone still looks at me in that way. I was beginning to think I'd lost it as I got older.'
Without a word, Danzo turned from him and faced the steaming spring, her gaze cooling as her body moved forward. She stepped into the hot water with slow grace, submerging herself inch by inch until the heat cloaked her like a veil. Ripples formed where her body disturbed the calm, hiding the curves Ryoku had just devoured with his eyes.
The moment she disappeared beneath the waves, Ryoku's breath hitched. It was as if the surface of the water had snapped him back to reality. 'Shit! Shit! Shit! I'm screwed!! I can't tell where this is going, but I don't like it... She has an oddly beautiful body in contrast with her aura, but... She's still Danzo at the end of the day and here I am getting involved with her! There's no telling what I'll be tasked with doing now... I'm completely within her sphere of control.'
"Hurry up," Danzo snapped, her voice cutting through the steam like a blade, cold and commanding.
Ryoku flinched, startled by her tone. He inhaled deeply, forcing air into his lungs as if preparing for battle. Each step he took toward the hotspring felt heavier than the last, as if gravity itself resisted him. Her eyes burned into his skin, stripping away his composure and replacing it with raw awkwardness.
At the edge of the spring, he dipped a toe into the water, testing its heat before taking the plunge. The warmth engulfed his body as he settled himself at the far end, trying to keep as much distance as possible.
The silence was suffocating. Ryoku cleared his throat in a desperate attempt to break it. He looked down at the shifting surface. "So.. about the Chunin Exam—"
"Didn't you hear what I said that you needed to do in order to get admission into the Chunin Exams?!" Danzo interrupted, her voice sharp. The tip of her erect cock peeked above the water, rising defiantly.
Ryoku's mouth opened, then closed. He swallowed and forced himself to respond, voice trembling, "Y-you said r-rub your back and y-you'll rub mine a- and that I'd have to do what you ask.."
Danzo's smirk returned, edged with something far darker. "It appears you can listen. I was beginning to rethink this arrangement. I'm sure you wouldn't want that, would you?"
Ryoku's thoughts screamed. 'I would actually... I would want to be out of this whole arrangement, but it seems I have no way out... I want nothing to do with her, but I can't avoid this!'
Biting his tongue, he shook his head slowly. "N-no.."
Her smile vanished, replaced by something regal and stern. "It's Lord Danzo to you. Come over here and try saying it."
He hesitated but obeyed, moving through the water with deliberate caution until he was sitting beside her—three feet of space between them, a respectful gap.
Danzo's brow twitched. "Weren't you just devouring my body with your eyes a little minute ago you pervert?! Now you're trying to behave as if you didn't desire me?!"
That outburst caught him off guard. He hadn't seen this side of her before—frustrated, insecure. 'Her appearances must be her weakness. Is it perhaps an insecurity I can exploit?!'
A flicker of courage returned to him, and with it, clarity. 'What she wants is to feel wanted, desired. I can give that to her and use it to my advantage! Then again... I'm not that evil of a person...'
He paused, lost in thought. Holding his chin between thumb and forefinger, Ryoku contemplated.
Danzo tilted her head, confused for once. She studied his frozen posture, her instincts unable to read his mind. 'Hmm?'
Then it clicked for him. He didn't need to play her. He just needed to act on how he felt. She was beautiful, powerful, and clearly longing for him. Why fight it?
He turned toward her, his new resolve burning in his chest. He slid closer, his thigh pressing against hers. Her skin was hot—trembling.
Their eyes locked, his expression intense. She could feel the shift—his aura was potent, drowning hers in heat and hunger.
Her cheeks flushed crimson, the kind of red she hadn't worn since her youth. The walls she'd built, the layers of indifference and control, all began to crack.
Ryoku leaned in, his breath brushing against her ear. "You're right. I want you. I want you now."
The soft whisper against her skin sent shivers racing down her spine. Her breath hitched. 'So this is how it feels to be taken charge of... It's a distant memory, I've only ever been the one leading...'
Her breathing grew heavy. One hand instinctively rose to her chest, shielding herself from her own vulnerability.
Ryoku could hear every breath she took. It stoked the fire inside him. He leaned in, licking her ear gently before nibbling along its edge.
"Mmm.." Danzo moaned, her eyes wide with surprise. Shame flickered behind her gaze, but before she could regain her composure, Ryoku's hand gently slid down her luscious body.
The sensation made her flinch, but she didn't pull away, instead she was beginning to submit to his control, melting away at each touch. Ryoku grinned. He was toying with a legend—no, dominating her. A woman who'd once brought nations down to her knees through her plots, was now ensnared by his overt desires.
'I think it's time we turn things up..' Ryoku mused, his excitement brimming.
