Nindō 0118: Job Offer (2/3)

Naruto and Sakura moved to the living room to continue their conversation.

"There is a catch." Naruto nodded. "A big one. Before telling you about any of the reasons behind it, I'll directly explain the catch to you. Don't interrupt me and let me finish."

"Fine," Sakura nodded.

"You need to be marked with a seal. At its core, it is a tracking and communication seal that will allow me to trace your location at all times and communicate with you telepathically whenever I want. It will also provide you with an initial empowerment to whatever your core strength is, which, in this case, would be that seal in the center of your forehead. Also, in dire situations, I can share my chakra with you regardless of distance. The telepathy works the same way — I can talk to you regardless of the distance. Lastly, it is a permanent seal. No matter what you try, it cannot be removed. You may now ask your questions."

"That sounds a lot like something Orochimaru would do …" Sakura said. "In fact, it sounds exactly like something Orochimaru did do."

"Hearing my explanation, it does sound very similar to his Cursed Seal," Naruto nodded. "But rest assured, he has no role in this seal's creation. It is something I obtained from some long-lost Uzumaki archives."

"And did those archives mention the purpose of this seal?" She asked.

"No," Naruto refused. "If you are worried about any leaks, you can rest assured that I am the only person in the world who can use this seal. It is not only hardcoded to my Uzumaki blood but also my soul. In case something ever happens to me, the seal will naturally turn dormant."

"Still … It's like wearing a tracking collar at all times with your location visible to another person at all times."

"That is already the case," Naruto said. "If I decide to look for a specific chakra signature within Konoha, I can do that whenever I want. That is what the barrier is for. This seal will simply make it more convenient and foolproof."

"You said it will empower my Strength of a Hundred Seal," she said. "How exactly does that work? Is it a similar natural energy converter like the Cursed Mark?"

"It isn't a sage technique and doesn't have anything to do with nature energy," Naruto said. "That empowerment comes by inducing a mutation in the recipient. In your case, it will most likely induce a mutation in your chakra pathways that are connected to your seal, enhancing its effectiveness."

"Most likely?" Sakura caught his words. "You aren't sure what it's going to do?"

"I know that it's going to induce a mutation. However, the focus is generally dependent on the most prominent ability or part of the recipient. So there is a chance for a different mutation, but only if your Strength of a Hundred Seal isn't the core of your arsenal."

"Inducing a mutation doesn't sound safe," she said. "Especially inducing one in the chakra pathways. I might be killed or crippled because of it."

"It is a tried and tested technique," Naruto said. "You don't have to worry about anything. I didn't find some half-ass technique that doesn't work correctly."

"You realize how sketchy this sounds, right?"

"I understand, but I am in a bit of a pickle here. I can't truly trust anyone until I mark them with this seal."

"Why?" Sakura asked. "Do you think I would betray Konoha?" She looked offended for a moment before looking like she figured something out. "You think I might be controlled … Is it another Ōtsutsuki?"

"Being controlled would be easier to deal with," Naruto said with a wry smile. "The current situation is far more sensitive."

"What's going on?" She frowned. "I know you wouldn't take such a drastic measure without a valid reason."

"For a whole month, one of our friends had been replaced," Naruto said solemnly as Sakura's frown only got deeper.

"You mean …"

"Exactly that. This friend, whose identity will not be disclosed to you unless you take the mark, had been replaced by a replica. That replica sabotaged a major project that I have been working on in the shadows, bringing it to the attention of Kara— the organization that Sasuke is busy investigating. We believe an Ōtsutsuki is behind Kara."

"I didn't even realize."

"Exactly," Naruto said. "I'll tell you this: you regularly talk to this person and didn't discern anything off. Neither did I, and I have been taking precautions in case an Ōtsutsuki decides to possess one of our own. I couldn't tell the slightest difference. That is why I need to use this seal on you if I am to trust you."

"And how do you know I'm not that replica currently?" Sakura asked an important question. "If you give me the mark, allowing me to get your trust, but I turn out to be the replica, what then?"

"I'll know," Naruto said. "Remember when I told you that I can transfer my chakra to you through the seal? I can use it to sense your feelings and emotions. At that point, if you are the replica, I will instantly know. If not, I don't need to maintain that check on you."

"See, it's still all fishy …" Sakura said. "Like you aren't giving me the full story."

"I am obviously not telling you the full story before you accept the seal. Once you do, I will tell you everything. I will also tell you what our replaced friend experienced while their replacement was prancing around here."

"I don't trust this seal," Sakura said, looking at Naruto with a frown. "But I do trust you. If you wanted, you could've forced that seal on me. But instead, you were willing to sit with me and convince me to take it."

"And I appreciate your trust," Naruto said with a smile. "Give me your hand. I will pass my chakra into you and cycle it through your body. You will feel warm and a little overwhelmed. Try to keep yourself under control."

Sakura closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes, they were filled with determination. She had decided to take the leap of faith in her friend and extended her hand toward him.

"Like this …" Naruto shifted her hand before gripping it tightly, interlacing their fingers. "You might feel that this is a little invasive; don't interfere with the cycle."

"You can start," Sakura nodded, mentally prepared for whatever was to come.

Naruto nodded, and his chakra slowly trickled into Sakura's body. Immediately, her eyes widened, and she stiffened up.

"Woah …" She pressed her lips together before speaking through her teeth as if suppressing a great pain. "This was the overwhelming you were talking about?"

She gave him a look of resentment and pressed her legs together, giving a contemplative look to their joined hands, as if thinking whether to abort the procedure or not.

"Gimme something to bite …" Sakura spoke with difficulty as her body spasmed, making her twitch her legs. She pressed her lips together and held back a moan. She closed her eyes and spasmed a few more times, suppressing each subsequent moan within her throat. She was breathing heavily when she opened her eyes. "Now!"

"You can moan all you want, Miss Sensitive," Naruto teased. "There's a silencing seal around us. You won't disturb Sarada."

"NOW!" She shouted at him before quickly pressing her lips together as an embarrassing squeal escaped her throat. Her eyes were spitting as she momentarily regained her composure.

"Fine," Naruto smiled with amusement as a black rod appeared in front of Sakura's mouth before moving between her teeth. "It's a Truth-Seeker Orb. Bite away. It won't even get scratched. However, I am very surprised at how sensitive you are. The others had similar reactions, but no one came so quickly. Sasuke doesn't know what he's missing out on."

Sakura looked ready to punch him but instead was assaulted by another orgasm that rocked through her burning body.

"Just a little longer, Sakura-chan. You're a big girl; you can take a few consecutive orgasms …" Naruto teased her further, and she only had the energy to respond with a glare as she writhed on the couch.

Two minutes passed, and the pink-haired woman had already experienced enough climaxes to approach double digits. At this point, she looked far too aroused to care about Naruto's presence beside her and was actively pleasuring herself, unwilling to stop even after a few teasing remarks. The looks she gave him with each remark told him that she was still lucid but truly didn't care that he was beside her while her single free hand was inside her white pants, busy augmenting the pleasure she felt from the Dominion Mark's assimilation with her.

The minutes passed as Sakura tore through the double-digit mark and came more than twenty times in the span of seven to eight minutes. She hadn't lost her mental fortitude even until the end. She might have stopped caring about any possible decency in front of Naruto, but she was still fully conscious.

"This is a first," Naruto said. "Then again, when I marked Hinata, she was already half unconscious. The others aren't particularly known for their unbreakable minds and high sexual drives. You surprised me today, Sakura-chan."

"Uu …" Sakura tried to say something, but the rod was still in her mouth, leading to unintelligible groans as she weakly raised her fist in his direction.

"My bad," Naruto said, dispelling the construct as Sakura moved her lower jaw a few times to fix the stiffened muscles. His attention, however, was on Sakura's forehead. Specifically on the very prominent Uzumaki symbol that was now a permanent part of her existence.

'This is going to require some tinkering …'
