73: Welcome to Club N: Amateur Night (3)

She remembered approaching Ino after she had taken Menma back there once. Yoshino hadn't necessarily been jealous, but a part of her had been concerned that Ino might be using Club N to escape from developing a more permanent form of relationship. The blond kunoichi had shocked her though as she had plainly stated, "I am in a committed relationship. Someday I'll introduce him to you. But in the meantime there isn't any harm in having a little fun."

Her thoughts returned to the present and she looked over at Naruto as he watched the woman Lady Butterfly. Yoshino did fell a small tinge of rivalry with the woman as she noted his pants were rather bulged in front. She frowned as part of her wanted to take him to the curtained off area, to get him to focus on her. That was coming closer to what made the whole thing strange for Yoshino, but knew it could be chalked off to her attraction to the blond man. No what made it so surreal was that she knew Lady Butterfly was Konan, and just a few hours before she had grilled the woman rather hard about her desire to reform Akatsuki.

It wasn't that Yoshino was against the idea in its entirety. But, she did feel that it might be a step that could make the situation with Iwagakure worse. She knew her resistance had likely caught quite a few of her fellow councilors by surprise, yet strangely enough she had the feeling that it had pleased the women that had been present at the time, even Konan. She suspected to the men that didn't know how she was spending her nights it must have seemed like she had come out of a deep sleep. She had argued that while reforming Akatsuki wasn't something she was against, particularly as it seemed that Konan had already asked several women from Konoha, such as Kushina, Mikoto, and Fu so she doubted the groups purpose would be to cause trouble for her home. She doubted Iwa would see it that way, particularly since Akatsuki would likely serve as a means to blunt Earth Country's expansion into the minor countries along its western border. That was if the Daimyo Toki could get the many minor countries to come together in an alliance that was.

It did seem that it might be close to happening as she had finally managed to convince most of the minor countries that bordered Earth Country to agree to a met. It was scheduled to happen several months from now, but considering that a few of the principle players had initially stated it would be when hell froze over, she figured the Daimyo had to be pleased with her progress.

Yoshino knew all this because she had begun to delve into the many reports that she had been sent. She was beginning to see several patterns emerging, one of which seemed to center around the young man sitting next to her. He apparently noticed her attention wasn't exclusively focused on him as he said, "Should I be jealous of Lady Butterfly?"

"Perhaps a little," Yoshino said amused, "But no more so then I should be. I at least was thinking of work."

"Really," Naruto said after chuckling, "You were thinking about work just now. It's worse than I thought. I must be boring you half to death." Yoshino laughed as Naruto made a gesture to one of the waitresses. She had a sense of familiarity from it, but before she could search her memory he asked, "So what were you thinking about?"

"It doesn't matter," she said with a wave, "Plus, I'm sure you don't want to hear an old lady's problems when there are more interesting things on stage to focus on."

Naruto shook his head as he replied, "You really need to stop with that old woman nonsense. You're a stunningly beautiful woman."

"I bet you say that to all the women here though," Yoshino countered with a warm smile as although she was sure her response was true. She knew that Naruto meant what he said.

He proved why as he replied, "True, but only because it is something which applies to every woman here. Current company included." Yoshino's mask hid her crimson cheeks, but she took a sip of her drink to perhaps give her body cover for the flush appearing. Naruto further made her warm inside as he added, "But I'm sure beauty isn't your only defining feature, so what happened at your day job that is keeping you from enjoying the moment."

Yoshino placed her hand on Naruto's knee as she said, "I'm definitely enjoying the moment." She realized what she was doing and remembering he was dating someone quickly retracted it. Naruto didn't seem to notice, but she suddenly felt self-conscious at how easy it would be for her to act on the desire the unconscious action showed was building inside her. Figuring that talking about her day might kill the mood Naruto's very presence seemed to put her in she said, "I guess I'm just troubled by some actions certain parties are planning to take. In the short term it might do a lot of good, but in the long term could make other situations more dangerous. I know that's rather vague, but..."

"I understand," Naruto replied with a warm smile, "you have an identity outside this place to protect." He looked up at the stage for a moment, and when he looked back at her there was a note of mischief in his eye as he said, "It kind of sounds similar to a situation that I heard brought Konan to the village." Even beneath her mask, Yoshino kept her features calm, but a part of her wanted to look towards the stage. Her mind began to race as it began to wonder if Naruto actually knew that it was the Daimyo and Village leader of Rain dancing on stage. She then began to wonder if that meant he also knew who she was. To her surprise a very large part of her suddenly wished that he did as then it wouldn't be Lady Shadow that he was complimenting but Yoshino Nara. He didn't give away much as he talked as if the situation he had brought up was completely different than the one she had. "She wants to bring back Akatsuki to honor the memory of her friends. But it also is to protect the minor countries from aggression from the major ones. Considering the amount of trouble it caused when I disrupted one of Iwa's plots, it would seem pursing this action would do more to create tension then dispel it."

Yoshino nodded feeling Naruto had perfectly framed her concerns about what Akatsuki's return could lead too. Wanting to hear his insights she asked, "Well let's say my job was to argue against pursuing this course of action, how would you convince me to go along with it?"

"I don't know that I could," Naruto admitted, "Why would you argue against it?"

"Well, considering Ame is a part of the current alliance, even though Konan says Akatsuki will be acting independently of her village. The fact that she is seen as the face of both will lead most people to suspect Akatsuki is just a black ops group operating at the alliance's beck and call. I'm sure Iwa will make that claim if Akatsuki does stumble into another of its plots, which haven't slowed down in the least. In fact, I'm convinced the terrorist activity in Bear Country is another such plot. The groups causing trouble claim to be members of the One King movement, but other more established groups with that cause have discredited them."

Naruto looked troubled by her statement before responding, "Ibiki believes it is because the new groups are more willing to target civilian population centers so long as there is just one shinobi in vicinity. It does more to discredit the other One King Movement cells to target civilians then it does moving their cause forward."

"That's exactly my point," Yoshino said having had the discussion with Ibiki already. He had taken her concerns under advisement, but she was sure he was still more confident in his belief the more extreme groups were ramping up the violence to bring matters to a head rather than the tried and true methods used by the older groups that required more patience. "Iwa could destabilize Bear Country by targeting the Star Village, discredit the One King movement, and if rumors that they have sent medical teams to deal with the aftermath of these terrorist attacks are true could cause the Bear Civilians to see them as kind protectors. That way when Iwa steps in to quell the violence much like in Noodle Country they'll be welcomed with open arms."

Naruto would have smiled if what Yoshino was telling him didn't weigh heavily on his conscious since she was so passionate about it. In truth, although the terrorist attacks in Bear Country had been an ongoing thing, he had suspected that Iwagakure was the true culprit. Only Ibiki's suggestion that it was the One King Movement becoming more extreme had convinced him otherwise. Plus, after Iwa had been exposed for manipulating events in Paradise City it hadn't caused a pullback by the terror groups in Bear Country. He used that evidence as he countered, "Then why wasn't there a decrease in terrorist actions when I exposed their manipulating events in Claw and Fang?"

"Because if there had been it would have all but proven they had a hand in them," Yoshino replied energetically since she could see Naruto was more open to her theories the Ibiki had been. "Plus, I'm sure a lot of the terrorist don't even realize they are working for Iwa. When events reach a head there, Iwa's going to round them up and execute them after all. Most of them are probably people that believe in the One King Movement and were frustrated by their lack of progress so wanted to use more extreme methods. The man that created the Black Kyuubi could be viewed as one such person."

As soon as the words left her mouth Yoshino wanted to curse herself for being a fool since the origins of the Black Kyuubi were considered top secret. Granted, even something given that level of clearance could have hundreds of people that new the truth, especially as the details had been shared between all the villages in the alliance. But, considering the topic that brought on their discussion she felt as if she might as well just remove her mask now. The concern disappeared as Naruto gave her a smile that stated her secret was safe with him, before stating, "That makes sense. I'll pass it on to Tsunade, and try to convince Ibiki as well."

Yoshino felt shocked as she had almost like a little kid that had been crying the sky was falling but everyone had dismissed her warnings causing her to say with a hint of surprise, "Y...You believe me."

When Naruto nodded she felt a powerful sense of gratitude that nearly overwhelmed her. She nearly gave into the desire to kiss him, but stopped as he said, "I better get going. Thank you for spending the evening with me Lady Shadow."

Regaining her composure, and trying not to let her disappointment show in her voice, Yoshino replied, "No, thank you for listening to this old lady's concerns."

Naruto gave her a warm and amused smile as he shook his head. He turned to leave, but stopped as he said, "Oh, to answer your question about how I would convince you to vote. I would simply say that if both scenarios might lead to people suffering, I would choose the one that would let me hold my head up high."

"Which one would that be?"

Naruto looked back and she saw in his eyes the conviction he held in his beliefs as he answered, "It would be the one that must people saw as the more difficult option but was ultimately right. Should we avoid a fight just to have it later or have it knowing we are trying to help others? I'll always select the second option. I guess I view reforming Akatsuki as a way not to let others use politics as a way to hid what they are doing. It might lead to the fight sooner, but better to have it while trying to mitigate others suffering then to put it off and let people be hurt as a result of our desire to enjoy peace for a little longer."

Yoshino found in Naruto's blue eyes that she no longer doubted that the current alliance was deeply tied to him as her observations of past events had indicated. She at first had dismissed it because she believed his presence at some of the pinnacle events was simply due to his being the rising star of the village and Tsunade's favorite shinobi. However, seeing the sureness in them now, she was confident he was perhaps the driving factor. So taken with them she missed what he said next prompting her to ask, "I'm sorry what was that?"

Naruto replied, "I hope to see you next time I'm here."

"When do you think that will be," Yoshino asked already planning to make sure she was scheduled.

"Well, I was planning to visit on my birthday," Naruto stated. "It might become a tradition as the club opened shortly before my eighteenth."

"I'll make plans to be here," Yoshino said eagerly figuring she might take him behind the curtain to make it a night to remember.

*****************************

Esdese watched as one of Shadaloo's flying machines began to land in the disguised hanger of the organizations main headquarters which was located in the Land of Lightning. The heavily armored machine still used chakra to power the powerful engines that were required to let it take off vertically and was supplied by members of the auxiliary crew. The vehicles were more heavily armored then the Sky Country designs they had been derived from, but due to improvements in the engines their operating range had been improved. Also, unlike the original Sky Country contraptions they were unarmed. This wasn't due to any peaceful intentions on Shadaloo's part, but was due to its founder's belief in purity of face to face combat. Therefore the airships served primarily as large troop transports with each one being capable of carrying upward of fifty people considering how they were configured.

The one coming to a rest was not one of those as it was configured so the person inside would be traveling in luxury. Esdese was rather surprised at this since it was typically Bison's personal transport and to her knowledge he had never sent it out unless he was aboard. Therefore she felt a little curiosity about the passenger while the latch on the side opened and lowered to the ground so that he could exit.

She would admit to feeling rather underwhelmed as the man emerged from the ship. He was dressed in black in garb that fit the generic mental image that most people had when thinking of shinobi. He was wearing a mask that fit that image as well, although she did feel some interest at his skin matching the same black of the clothes he wore. His pupil-less olive green eyes focused on her and he said gruffly, "Bison is too busy to meet me himself."

Esdese arched an eyebrow at the man believing he was important enough to warrant the leader of Shadaloo waiting on his arrival. Taking a quick stock of him, she wasn't too impressed with him as a warrior but ultimately figured it didn't matter. Straining not to sound bored she answered, "Lord Bison is a busy man, Mr. ...?

The man seemed amused as he replied, "Kage, you may call me Mr. Kage."

"Very well," Esdese said turning on her heel, "Please follow me Mr. Kage."

Esdese led him to the elevator which upon entering began to descend from the hanger area that was built into the mountain that housed the headquarters of the criminal group. The elevator was mostly glass, the reason of which became apparent as it passed through the first floor to reveal another hanger area where dozens of airships were stored. Kage looked over at her to state, "I see Bison still enjoys his little toys. Does he truly believe a world of shinobi has need for such contraptions?"

"Once the world sees what these machines can do, I'm sure there will be plenty of buyers interested in them," Esdese replied despite finding some of the weapons being created by the organization personally distasteful. It was mainly items such as the chakra armor since to her it helped elevate weaklings that had no place standing on the same level as their betters. In fact, they had stopped asking her to help them test such devices as when she was pitted against the users of them, she would always kill them. As such, the programs for them had experienced difficulty in finding candidates willing to test them especially if it would have been against her. That disdain though didn't extend to the airborne troop transports because she saw them as natural advancements in warfare. Granted, all it would take to change her opinion of them would be for someone to mount them with the Gatling kunai launchers that Shadaloo had procured from Snow Country. But as they were she saw them as an elegant means of getting around the defenses that all of the Shinobi Villages used to protect themselves. She looked forward to the day where she would be able to use them to nullify the defensive edge Kumo had by being based in the mountains. Or, the day when she would bypass Konoha's defensive wall to lay siege to it and meet the man that she desired to battle in order to claim him.

She felt a shiver pass through her at the thought while her cheeks began to glow from the images her imagination showed her, both of the battle she would expect, and the aftermath when she claimed him. Kage studied the various other scenes that unfolded before him as elevator passed through the various floors on the way to the subbasement levels. Upon passing through the first floor heavy shutters lowered over the glass windows of the elevator prompting the man to say, "It appears Bison is done showing off his little projects. These floors must be where the truly impressive items he's gathering are kept."

"Yes," Esdese replied sounding annoyed at being pulled from her fantasy, "Including the project he's apparently been working on for you."

Kage grunted sounding annoyed in turn as he replied, "If only he had insisted on such security measures to insure the secrecy of it. That fool Shinno nearly could have spoiled everything."

"The project needed to enter a human testing phase," Esdese said annoyed feeling Bison or his annoying scientists should be the ones explaining the details to the man. "It was felt that the small scale test with the Kurama clan of Konoha wouldn't endanger the overall secrecy of the project. Unfortunately, we did not consider that he would implement a larger scale test on his own. However, it did net some interesting results."

"What sort of results?" Kage asked looking at her with a degree of interest.

As such, she enjoyed denying him the knowledge as she stated, "I'm afraid that is privileged information and is apparently not a part of whatever pact you made with Lord Bison."

The man's olive eyes narrowed and she felt a thrill as she wondered if he would be foolish enough to attack her. But after a moment the tension faded as he turned away again as he said, "No matter. Whatever became of the scroll that Shinno stole?"

"It was recovered from the wreckage of the Sky Country Flying fortress," Esdese answered, "It wasn't necessary to continue the project but we wanted to make sure there were no loose ends."

"No doubt Bison also used the chance to scrounge for more of Sky Country's technology," Kage replied.

"Hardly, the items we have begun to produce far outperform the antiquated chakra engines they had," Esdese stated. "The operation to recover the scroll was simply to honor the bargain that Lord Bison made with you."

"That remains to be seen," the man replied as the elevator reached the lowest subbasement. The doors opened to reveal a darkened room that only glowed from the light filtering through the bluish liquid behind the large glass walls that made up the room. Standing before one of them was the man that ran the Shadaloo organization Bison. Behind him floating in the liquid motionless were several mostly identical creatures. They looked like giant leeches with more serpentine like bodies, furthermore seemingly growing from their heads were Noh like masks where on the forehead for all except one, the kanji zero was written. Also from the masks extended varying numbers of red hair like growths.

Bison turned to face them stating, "I trust everything meets with your expectations."

Kage despite how dismissive he had seemed before of Shadaloo's works now sounded genuinely impressed as he said, "They are magnificent. They will function in the task that I need them to brilliantly."

"Good," Bison replied, "Esdese will oversee the details of where you want them delivered. With this our bargain is completed."

The man that ran the criminal group moved to enter the elevator, but stopped as Kage said, "You've come a long way from the small time petty Iwa thug that I recruited to steal the scroll that detailed how to make these creatures. You are handing over an incredible power, yet do not seem all that curious as to what it will be used for."

Bison stepped onto the elevator before turning around to say amused, "These creatures do not interest me. I can already guess to what use you will put them to. The hint to that resides on the one which mask has the kanji for one written on it." Kage didn't turn away from Bison having noticed it upon spotting the creatures. Esdese however was curious so looked over. Outside of the number the creature also sported several scars making it look as if it had survived a vicious battle. Bison explained what he meant as he said, "That creature is a survivor of the initial batch that was destroyed when Iwagakure nearly hunted me down when I set up shop in the Land of Iron. They sent the four tails in as the town I was in was simply a front for me and the beast went berserk razing the place to the ground. That creature along with several others managed to drive it back. The others were lost, but that one there survived and seems to have siphoned off a tails worth of power. I doubt the dumb monkey is still feeling the effects, but I'm guessing going forward you will not be needing to target the jinchuriki that remain."

"You do seem to have a grasp of my plans," Kage said. His voice turned menacing as he added, "If you know what is good for you, then you will not interfere."

Bison gave an amused smile before replying, "If I intended to interfere I would simply have Esdese kill you and toss you into the tanks so those creatures could drain your corpse of chakra. However, I have my own plans and when the time comes to enact them, if you pose a threat to them you will be dealt with. But for the time being and out of the gratitude I do have for your giving me my start you are free to leave. When the time comes that we inevitably meet as enemies may the best man win."

The doors to the elevator closed as Kage replied amused, "Indeed, but sadly you will not be facing a man when the time comes."

"That is what will make killing you all the more rewarding," Esdese said knowing that Bison would answer similarly. Turning away to stare into the liquid that surrounded the room she saw that nearly three dozen of the creatures slept inside it. A part of her looked forward to facing them in battle, and sincerely hoped that on the day that it happened it would be with a certain blond man at her side.

*****************************

"Now give it up for the Lady Shadow," the D.J. said as Yoshino appeared from behind the curtain. She was wearing a black body hugging dress. The hem of it stopped at her upper thigh giving just enough material to cover her front and rear. But the sides of the dress looked to be nothing but strings holding it together. Furthermore, her stomach was exposed due to a large cut out section in the front, while a smaller one above it displayed her cleavage. It was much the same story on the back except with only one large hole. She wasn't wearing any underwear as the dress was practically painted onto her. Yet, Yoshino didn't feel any embarrassment despite the show she was planning to put on might have her flashing the guests.

She did feel some of her drive to perform evaporate as she spotted Naruto who was sitting next to Ayame. But, she had to admit that it didn't cause her to falter primarily as the club seemed filled with a rather vibrant energy. It was as if each of the women were putting on their best show while trying to one up each other. Yoshino having seen Mikoto as the most likely to be the one to beat had stepped out to watch her perform. As she suspected the Uchiha had put on amazing show followed by Ino.

Yoshino had felt nervous at least until she had heard her named called, because when she stepped out all she felt was energized. She reached the first pole and grabbing it spun around it while pulling herself up. Reaching the top she wrapped her body around it as she began to spin around while striking several poses keeping herself up with just the arm she was using to trap the pole to her body. Loosening that grip she began to descend to the stage. Reaching the bottom she let her feet touch the ground and then facing the pole pressed her body against it as she straightened. She imagined the pole was a man's cock as she trapped it between the valley of her breasts. She then pushed away and kicked out against it launching herself into a high backwards flip. She reached out to grab the pole at the front of the stage and spun around it upside down. She then grabbed it with her other hand to suspend her body away from it and spread her legs widely.

Although essential flashing the ceiling as she felt the breeze over her pussy, from the chill she felt she knew she was incredibly wet. She began to descend the pole while continuing her spin, but reaching the bottom she came to a stop while still upside down. She then arched her back so that as she lowered her feet to the ground she flashed the people in front of her. As she planned the person with a ringside seat was none other than Naruto. She straightened up and dropped into the splits before him pressing her torso down against the stage. She looked up at him, and her eyes dropped down to his groin for a moment. Finding him hard, she felt her body grow even hotter so as the second song began used the energy to fly up the pole again.

She spun around it, striking various poses moving incredibly fast to prevent other members from catching a clean glimpse up her skirt. But whenever she came down she did so in the same spot so that her favorite patron and birthday boy saw the gift she would love to give him. The music came to an end as Yoshino began to lazily spin around using just one hand to hold the pole. Her foot made contact with the ground and she slide down so that by the time she came to a rest she was lying flat on the stage. Her one leg was pointed right at Naruto as her other was bent away just enough so that she was sure he could see how she glistened.

The crowd began to clap as she stood, and having made it a point to mingle after a dance she stepped down from the stage. She looked for one of her other go to patrons, but found them all strangely missing. She sighed since the one she wanted to sit with likely didn't want her since his beautiful girlfriend was present. Yet, just as she was about to head backstage she was surprised as Ayame said, "That was mesmerizing. Why don't you come join us?"

"I wouldn't want to impose," Yoshino said quickly.

Ayame smiled as she replied, "Really, because Naruto makes it sound like you two really hit it off when I'm not around."

Yoshino couldn't deny that was the case, and not wanting to make the woman think she had ulterior motives, although a part of her was considering the possibilities, accepted the invitation. Joining them Naruto said, "You were amazing. I'm glad you were willing to come out tonight."

Yoshino flushed from the compliment stating, "Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the show."

Ayame caused her skin to turn a deeper shade of red as she stated, "I couldn't help but notice how tonight you put yourself completely on display. Especially for a certain Birthday Boy." Yoshino tried to deny that was the case, but the waitress continued before she could begin, "I'm hoping that might make you open to a small request I have."

"W... what kind of request," Yoshino asked as a part of her began to fantasize it involving her putting the bulge she noticed in Naruto's lap to some use.

"Well, I believe you haven't taken anyone back to the private area yet. I was hoping you might be ready for Birthday Boy," Ayame suggested.

Hearing her fantasy beginning to come to life she nodded prompting Ayame to stand. She then grabbed both her lover and Yoshino's hands as she guided them to the curtained off area. Entering it, Yoshino was surprised to find it empty since on multiple occasions she had seen more than one of the women make use of it. Ayame sat Naruto down on the large round cushioned bed around which the couches were arranged. She then dragged Yoshino behind her as she said, "But before he gets his present I have to make sure it will satisfy him."

Yoshino felt a sense of nerves come over her since she had never really fantasized about a woman before. But figuring it was just a precursor to living one she had developed in the month since dancing at the club straddled the woman's lap. As the song began to play she ground her muff down into Ayame's. A part of her feared that she might begin to stain the waitress's white dress as she couldn't believe how wet she was. Something that she attributed to Naruto's gaze as he watched them, but Ayame didn't seem to care as she grabbed Yoshino's hips to pull her tighter against her.

When Yoshino made it clear she wouldn't pull away, Ayame relaxed her grip on her. She used the opportunity to face away and grind her butt against the waitress. Her legs rested outside the waitresses so that as she looked at Naruto, she knew he had a clear view up her dress. She spread herself wider and couldn't resist giving her snatch a rub. She turned back to Ayame less she begin fingering herself and found that the hem of the woman's dress had risen up. She found Ayame much like her was not wearing any underwear, so straddling her hips again pulled the hem of her dress up to display her pussy as well. She ground it into Ayame's and as their pussies rubbed together they heard Naruto groan.

Ayame grabbed the finger Yoshino had used to touch herself and began to suck it clean. Hearing Naruto groan again she said, "Do you hear that? He's chomping at the bit to be inside you. I think it's time you both get what you want."

Yoshino nodded as she stood and walked over to the man her body had come to desire. She straddled him and ground her pussy against his hard cock. She reached up to her face as she said, "I can't deny this might be wrong. But I want you to take me not as Lady Shadow but as who I truly am."

Naruto stopped her though as he said, "It is indeed time for us all to lose our masks, Yoshino."

Yoshino wasn't surprised Naruto knew it was here due to her slip up, but she was shocked as he explained, "I've known it was you even before we first met here."

Yoshino didn't need any more of an explanation then that as her mind used the missing information to assemble the complete picture for her. She stood in a daze as she moved to the entrance of the curtained area and despite none of the men dropping their henge, suddenly saw all the patrons for what they were, shadow clones. She now understood why certain gestures had always seemed familiar as she watched one that was unaware of the revelation she had just received order a drink and did so by raising his hand in the same fashion she had seen Naruto use when they had talked together.

She felt his presence come up behind her as she took in the women talking to those clones. She was quite confident that they knew exactly who they were talking to despite the clones' henged appearances. That realization made her wonder what the point of the club was, other than to make her out to be a fool. Naruto seemed to be inside her mind as he said, "The club existed before you came along. It was to give my lovers a place where we could relax and have fun."

"At my expense it would seem," Yoshino said bitterly.

Naruto didn't reach out for her, but said, "Not at all. We invited you here to help you reclaim the vibrant and talented woman that you are."

"Except it was a fantasy," Yoshino said pulling her mask off.

"It doesn't need to be," Naruto said turning her to face him. Staring into her eyes he added, "Everything that passed between us here was real. Just as you took the energy and confidence this place gave you and applied it to outside pursuits. Fantasies can become truth if you seize the right moments."

Yoshino sensed one such moment was before her so did as her body was screaming at her to, so leaned forward and sealed her lips to Naruto's. He pulled her tightly against him and as the kiss grew heated his hands traveled down to her butt and squeezed her still exposed cheeks. She moaned into him, as he picked her up to carry her to couch. He set her down and knelt before her. Yoshino watched him with hooded eyes as the only man outside of her husband gazed upon her shaved pussy. She moaned loudly when he gave her snatch a lick and grabbed her legs to keep herself spread for him. She marveled at how skilled his tongue was due to his quickly locating and attacking all her sweet spots. In many ways it did remind her of her husband, but one big difference quickly presented itself. Mainly whereas Shikaku would use them to quickly bring her to climax in order to satisfy her as quickly as possible. Naruto tried to string her along by constantly bringing her close to the edge and then backing off. She got the sense that if it would make her happy, he'd gladly spend all day just munching on her pussy. She did slip over the edge a few times as her body had become used to quickly achieving orgasm. But Naruto would simply drink down her essence and bring her right back as he learned to make her body dance to the tune he was playing.

Eventually though Yoshino didn't think she could take it much longer as her body never had spent so much time right at the periphery of ecstasy. Before she could beg him to stop though, she found the buildup had been worth it as she screamed out his name when he brought her to climax by sucking on her clit. She became like jelly as she felt the urge to take a nap having rarely cummed as hard and never from being eaten. Such thoughts faded though to be replaced with hunger as Naruto stood and removed the white jacket he had worn, and then unbutton the orange dress shirt underneath.

She sat up feeling revitalized as he reached for his belt, and stopped him. She kissed his stomach before looking up sultrily to say, "Please let me. I've dreamed about what you've been hiding in your pants for a month now."

"Good dreams, I hope," Naruto said as she began to fondle his hardness through the white dress pants he had worn.

"We'll find out," Yoshino replied as she undid his belt. She sat back in surprise when she undid the button keeping him contained and nearly was slapped in the face. She felt a new sense of nervousness that had nothing to do with whether he desired her, as his hardness banished such thoughts, but whether he could even fit inside her as he was much larger than her husband had been. But it was a challenge she certainly was looking forward to taking, but first she wanted to taste him.

She guided Naruto to sit beside her, but then scrambled to kneel before him. She wrapped both her hands around the base of his cock and then with little ceremony began rapidly bobbing her head. Naruto groaned as although she was only taking about a half of his length what truly made the scene incredible was the look of wanton lust in her eyes which shown as they never left his. She stopped sucking for a moment and began to use her hands to jerk him and began to spit on his cock when her saliva began to dry.

Naruto moaned when Yoshino began to suckle on his manhood again. Yoshino couldn't believe it as she found her jaw beginning to cramp from trying to get him to release his seed. She had quickly gone through all her tricks and in the past would have received several mouthfuls of cum, if her husband had been capable of providing her multiple releases. She began to stroke him again resorting to using her hands as her jaw threatened to lock up.

Naruto though had other ideas, as he leaned forward and kissed her. He then pulled her up to her feet as he stood. They separated long enough for Naruto to pull her dress over her head and then he bent her over the couch. Her hand rested on the cushion as she kept her legs straight while the blond pressed his dick against her pussy. She moaned as he easily slipped inside due to her wetness, but drew out the process as he slowly filled her inch by delicious inch. She let out a guttural groan as his dick pressed against her womb.

It grew into a loud moan when a moment later he was withdrawing, but then slammed into her. Naruto gripped her hips tightly as he filled her completely over and over again. Yoshino cried out every time his powerful thrust caused her womb to quiver which was every time. She only grew louder when Naruto's hands slipped from her hips up her body to begin fondling her hanging breasts. Yet, without his grip to pull her back she found herself being pushed up onto the couch until her face was pressed against the weighted curtain hanging behind it. She imagined it was quite the sight as an outline of her face showed through the other side displaying her wide open mouth as she gave voice to her pleasure.

She was pulled away though as Naruto picked her up and sat down on the couch. She quickly began bouncing on his pole while she grabbed his hands and helped them to tease her tits. She threw herself into him wantonly as she felt something big building inside her. Used to sex with her husband she grew to anticipate it so sped up to hasten its arrival.

Naruto though caused her to whimper as he grabbed her hips and arrested her movement with his cock buried inside her. She felt the bubble of her climax begin to shriek causing her to pout as she tried to move her hips. Naruto then easily lifted her so that she couldn't do even that much as he stood and carried her to the round bed. He set her down face first on it, and then began pounding her pussy again. She felt the bubble growing once more as she remained face down on the bed, while Naruto stood behind her driving her wild. Much like before he would bring her to the edge before beginning to grind his hips into her. Which although present was a poor substitute for the feeling of his cock crashing into her core. Still when he would switch back she couldn't deny the promise of release seemed to have magnified. It grew so big that she almost feared the inevitable push over so pleaded, "Please...Please let me cum."

Naruto reached around her hips and set her off like an exploding tag as he gave her clit a hard rub. Then like throwing gasoline on a fire her climax doubled in intensity when he buried has cock against her spasming womb and began filling it with his jizz. Yoshino screamed until her voice became raw, and she blacked out.

She guessed it was only for a few moments as when she looked back she saw Naruto was still standing. However, she saw someone was behind him as soft hands traced over his sweat covered chest. Ino then peeked from behind him as she said, "Yoshino, let me introduced you to the man I'm committed too."

The Nara sat up and seeing his cock was still hard leaned forward to taste their combined flavor. She met Ino's eyes as she did so and saw the blonde's gaze light up. When she had properly cleaned his manhood the Yamanaka added, "I can see you're going to fit in just fine. So are you glad you listened to me about getting out more."

Yoshino realized from the moment she had agreed to go to the hot-springs with the Yamanaka her fate had probably been leading her to this moment. However, she was confident that when she stepped out of Club N the world would be even more vibrant then it had been in a long time. Smiling as she didn't plan to leave until morning she sat back showing off her pussy which was leaking the cum that had been pumped inside and said, "I'm happy that you refused to mind your own business. Now I don't know about you, but I think it's about time for Naruto to put that cock back to some use."

Naruto chuckled as he climbed onto the bed as she laid back. Pushing her disheveled hair from her face he said, "I don't think anyone would describe that as a task being too difficult to perform."

He slipped inside her causing Yoshino to moan softly before responding, "Well just try to bear with it. Because it's going to be a task I ask you to perform again and again."

Naruto kissed her softly as he replied, "Good." Yoshino grabbed onto his back as he began moving again. She was aware that she was being watched by a daughter of a friend, and although not sure how this strange world she now found herself a part of worked. She looked forward to exploring it and all the varied ecstasies to be experienced. Furthermore, she began to anticipate doing her part to help it grow and to protect it. But such thoughts were swept away as Naruto sat back to truly drill her, and the lips that pressed against hers were Ino's. Letting future concerns come later, she kissed the blonde kunoichi back eagerly as was swept up in the moment.

*****************************

"Shikamaru, get your lazy ass out of bed," a voice that had long been missed shouted.

Shikamaru sat up like a trained seal as he wondered what was going on since he had set his alarm. While he was still collecting his thoughts it went off prompting him to shut it off. He stepped out of bed still dressed in his chunin gear as he was heading out on a mission, but had wanted to take a short nap. Although, he had gotten up rather early to accept the job, the client had wanted to spend a few more hours in the village before leaving presenting him with the perfect opportunity to engage in a second favored activity after cloud gazing.

He had figured his mother had simply not even gotten out of bed although he had noticed her coming home from her Councilor activities later and later. Not realizing what she was doing, he had been caught completely off guard by the sudden bellow. Stepping out of his room he passed by the kitchen to see his mother scrubbing the bowl he had left in the sink from his breakfast. She looked back at him upon noticing him to say, "Honestly, is it really that troublesome to clean out the bowl when you're done with it."

"What... huh?"

Yoshino sighed but he noticed a slight smile grace her lips as she replied, "The bowl, you know the one caked with the oatmeal you had for breakfast, would it really had been so hard to clean it out afterwards. You know not every woman is going to wait on you. Besides which, who honestly takes a nap after only being up a few hours. I know things have been lackadaisical around her for a while, but you better start shaping up. One other thing, that filthy habit you've picked up from Asuma better just be a phase. If I catch you stinking up my house with them I'm going to sit you down and make you smoke the whole pack until the idea of them makes you nauseous."

Despite the litany of complaints his mother was leveling at him, Shikamaru couldn't help smiling as he said, "Jeez, you troublesome woman stop treating me like a kid."

"Start acting like a man, and I might consider it," Yoshino replied turning back to the sink.

Shikamaru chuckled despite the insult, and turned away to head out to meet his client. He stopped though as his mother said, "Shikamaru... thank you."

Figuring Naruto may have told her how he had asked the blond for help, but still wanting to remain ignorant of the results as much as possible said, "For what?"

Yoshino smiled as she continued to clean around the sink before replying, "Don't worry about it. Be safe out there."

****************************

Shikamaru nodded before heading out leaving his mother alone. Yoshino sighed as although she had spent a good amount of time redoing the sloppy job she had done cleaning the kitchen in the past hadn't yet returned her home to the spotless wonder it had been. However, she put that task to the side for the moment. Heading to one of the rooms she had avoided since her husband had passed on. Finding it to be a dusty hell upon entering, she rolled up her sleeves as she began to reclaim it from the dirt of neglect. While she worked she began to box up many of her husband's belongings.

After several hours it appeared nearly empty but knew that wouldn't last long as Ibiki would be dropping off many months' worth of reports as she began to compile the information she would need. She moved to a far wall that had used to house pictures of Shikaku with his friends, but was now where she hung a map of the entire shinobi continent. The large map took up the entire wall, as she began to fill out post it notes and place pins in it from the information she had gathered already, and had learned from Naruto.

She stepped back to study her progress when a voice asked, "What do you want me to do with these?"

She looked over at her lover who had agreed to help her claim the room, and felt a pang of loss as she looked at him holding a box filled with memories of her old life. "Please store it in the attic," she answered causing Naruto to nod as he carried one of the boxes away. She picked up a picture she had left on the desk and looked at her family. The picture conjured the same feeling of loss she had just felt, but it didn't hurt nearly as bad as it once had. Finding she now had the strength to move forward, she placed the picture back down and began to plan for the future once more.
