Last Week in Konoha: Day 4
Naruto was awoken that morning not by his alarm, but by someone lightly (but insistently) knocking on his door. Naruto sat up and yawned, then grabbed his pants from the floor and put them on as he made his way to the door. He squinted his eyes as sunlight came pouring in from the opened door, and it took him a second to recognize the man who was knocking. He was as tall as Kakashi, and had long flowing white hair. He looked to be in his late thirties or mid forties, but Naruto knew he wasn’t even thirty-five. He wore a simple white shirt and pants with blue sandals.
“Morning, Mr. Ukitake.” Naruto mumbled as he rubbed his eye.
“Good morning Nar…” was as far as he got before he began to cough violently. Reacting on instinct, Naruto pulled him inside (glad that he’d cleaned) and sat him at the table. He quickly grabbed a cup and held it under the faucet. He fiddled with the handles for a few seconds and only managed to get a trickle to come out. Dropping the cup into the sink he went to the fridge and pulled out one of the bottles of water he kept in case Lee came over, twisted off the cap and sat it where Mr. Ukitake could reach it. When his coughing stopped, Ukitake grabbed the bottle and took several small sips, and let out a sad sigh.
“Still as bad as ever?” Naruto asked as he slid into the chair across from him.
“No actually…” he replied with a slight smile “I’ve been receiving regular treatments from Shizune, and she thinks that I could be rid of the coughs within a year.”
“Really? That’s great! I‘ve been worried.” Naruto said. Mr. Ukitake took another sip of water and sighed.
“Now, as to the reason for my visit…” he started.
“Something’s wrong with the water.”
“Yes, apparently a couple of pipes burst some time in the night. I’ve had a work order out for them for some time…but with so much of the village under construction, this building hasn’t been a very high priority.”
“When will they have it fixed?” Naruto asked.
“They promised to have someone here tomorrow, first thing.”
“Well I’m glad I got all of my laundry done yesterday.”
“That’s good, it means I only need to give you this.” he reached into his pants pocket and drew out a small envelope, and slid it across the table to Naruto.
“What’s this?”
“It’s a voucher for one visit to the hot springs bath house.”
“Wow, thanks. This means I can train extra hard today.” Naruto grinned.
“I thought you might say something like that.” Mr. Ukitake replied with a smile. He stood up to leave, and noticed the freshly painted wall.
“What happened this time?” he pointed to the corner next to the stove.
“Just a small kitchen fire…heh heh. Nothing to be concerned with.” Naruto said, rubbing the back of his head and blushing a little. Ukitake sighed and gave his head a little shake.
“For my sake….and the buildings sake, try and keep them small.” he said as he walked to the door.
“Yes sir…” Naruto sighed, as he trailed behind to him to shut the door.
“Well…have a good day.” he told Naruto as he left. Naruto shut the door and slumped against it. This was definitely not the way to start his day off. He looked at his clock and saw that it was only 8:30. Instead of crawling back into bed and trying to get a little more sleep, Naruto decided to get an early start. He washed his face and brushed his teeth, then got his breakfast ready. When he was done it was only 9:15, so he decided he should start getting the apartment ready for Sakura and Lee. At 9:40 he started on his way to meet Konohamaru at training ground three. He took his time, and made it there a few minutes before ten. He expected to find Konohamaru already hard at work, but it was completely deserted.
“Konohamaru!!” Naruto shouted, “Don’t try any of your sneak attacks!” Naruto wandered around for a few minutes trying to find him, but he wasn’t anywhere to be seen. Naruto walked over to a nearby tree and set the sack of drinks down, then flopped down next to them. He sat there for a few minutes, waiting for Konohamaru to come running down the path. He decided that if Konohamaru didn’t show up in a few minutes he’d start training without him, and lay back and watched the sunlight drift through the leaves as the wind made them sway back and forth. It was almost hypnotic in a way and he almost fell asleep, but when his eyes started to shut he realized what was happening and leapt to his feet.
“I don’t have time for sleep now!” He cried, and started to do jumping jacks to wake himself up. When he reached 200 he decided that was enough, and started doing pushups and then switched to sit-ups. He was almost done when he heard someone running down the path from the village. He looked over to see Konohamaru running over to him.
“’Bout time you showed up, what kept you?” Naruto asked as he stood up.
“Sorry Naruto. Ebisu Sensei returned from his mission late last night. He called me, Moegi, and Udon together to let us know that regular classes and training sessions are going to start up again tomorrow, and we’re gonna have a whole bunch of new classmates and we need to be nice to them since they’re new to the village.”
“That must mean Iruka Sensei is back too!”
“Yeah, Ebisu said he was going to meet Iruka when he got done talkin’ to us.”
“Alright, so this will be the last day of personal training I can give you.” Naruto said, “So get ready, we’re gonna work harder than we have before!”
“Let’s get started!” Konohamaru cried.
“Yeah!” Naruto roared back. They stood there looking at each other for a couple of seconds, and the wind continued swirl gently around them.
“So, where do we start?” Konohamaru asked.
“Right….um…we need to build up your chakra supply, and the only way to do that is with plenty of exercise. So start with a hundred push ups!”
“You got it Naruto!” Konohamaru yelled as he fell forward and began the push ups. It was easy for him, Ebisu gave him much harder exercise routines…or that’s what he thought before Naruto sat on his back. He’d started out well, but with Naruto’s added weight he was starting to struggle. By the time he got to fifty, he felt like he wanted to curl up and die, but he managed to tough it out to seventy before he couldn’t go any more.
“Wow Konohamaru, I’m really impressed, I thought for sure you’d give up or ask for a break at fifty.” Naruto said while getting off Konohamaru’s back.
“Thanks…..boss.” Konohamaru managed to get out between wheezes. Naruto grabbed some drinks from the sack and tossed one to him, and Konohamaru twisted the top off and quickly guzzled half of it, and let out a satisfied sigh. They sat their in the shade of the tree and enjoyed the feel of the gentle breeze.
“So, what’s next?” Konohamaru asked as he set the bottle down and jumped to his feet.
“Next is sit-ups.” Naruto said as he got up.
“Sit-ups, is that all.” Konohamaru scoffed.
“These will be a little different….heh heh.” Naruto said.
“Different how?” Konohamaru asked. Naruto just smiled and told Konohamaru to close his eyes. Konohamaru cold hear him doing something, but he couldn’t tell what.
“Okay Konohamaru, open your eyes.” Naruto said. He opened his eyes slowly and looked at Naruto. Naruto was holding one end of a rope and wore a wicked smile. Chuckling loudly, Naruto pointed to the ground and Konohamaru looked down. There was a circle of rope around his feet.
“How is…” is as far as he got before Naruto pulled on his end of the rope, and Konohamaru was swept off his feet and left hanging upside down from the tree.
“Just do fifty sit-ups like that and I’ll let you back down.” Naruto said with a wicked grin.
“Um…Okay…no problem.” Konohamaru replied with a smirk. It was much harder exercise than he was used to…but he was determined not to let Naruto down. He started out fast trying to get done as quickly as possible, but he’d started to wear himself out by fifteen. He slowed himself down, and managed to get all the way to fifty. When he did the last one he dropped down and let his arms hang down below him. His face was a deep red, and he was breathing hard. Naruto let go of the rope, and dashed forward to catch Konohamaru before he hit the ground.
“Thanks….Naruto.” Konohamaru said between breaths.
“You didn’t think I’d just let you fall did ya’, heh heh.” Naruto replied with a grin.
“Not for a second.” Konohamaru grinned back, though he knew that Naruto would have if it were for a joke. Naruto set him on the ground and grabbed another drink for Konohamaru. He took the bottle with a nod of thanks and leaned back against the tree. They sat their in silence for a few minutes and let the wind and shade cool them off and dry the sweat from their bodies.
“Ok Konohamaru, let’s see how you do now.” Naruto said as he grabbed a rubber ball from the sack and tossed it to Konohamaru. He caught it easily, then set down his drink and hopped to his feet.
“Ok, here goes.” Konohamaru said, and began to gather his chakra. He started rotating his chakra inside the ball, increasing the amount of chakra and the speed of its rotation as much as he could. He brought his right hand back and repeated the process. He held both his hands in place for a second, trying to focus his mind, then brought his right hand down hard on the rubber ball. He brought his hand down so many times that Naruto lost count, and then squeezed his eyes shut before bringing it down one last time. He squeezed the ball as hard as he could between his hands, hoping it would help and added any left over chakra he had. The ball quivered and its surface stretched out in several directions. He managed to hold it like that for a few seconds, but it became too much of a strain and he had to release the chakra. The ball went back to it’s usual shape, and Konohamaru opened his eyes to stare at it, hoping that maybe it would still pop. When nothing happened after a few seconds he let out a defeated sigh and let it drop to the ground. When it hit, it made a soft “plop” sound, and didn’t bounce. Konohamaru stared at it for a second, then bent down to pick it. He gently rolled it in his hands and could feel that it was slightly deflated. When he had turned it completely, he noticed the pin sized hole, and his face lit up with a smile.
“Look Naruto, I did it!” he cried, and tossed the ball to Naruto.
“Good Job, Konohamaru. With more training, you’ll get the ball to explode sometime soon.” Naruto said with a nod.
“But not soon enough, you’re leaving in a few days.” Konohamaru muttered.
“Yeah, but I’ll be back….someday.” Naruto said, “Alright Konohamaru, I tell you what. You promise to keep training hard everyday, and I’ll show you the final stage of the rasengan. Deal?” Naruto extended his hand to Konohamaru..
“You got it Naruto!” Konohamaru said, and took Naruto’s hand.
“Alright, get clear of the tree.” Naruto said. Konohamaru got onto Naruto’s left side and stood a few feet away from the tree they’d been training under.
“Ok, so, the first stage is all about rotation, right?” Naruto asked as he brought his left hand out in front. His hand began to glow a faint blue with the chakra he channeled.
“Yeah.”
“And the second step is about adding as much power as possible.” Naruto said as he began to gathered chakra into his right.
“Uh-huh.” Konohamaru replied, looking wide eyed at Naruto.
“Ok, here’s the attack you have now.” Naruto said, and brought his right hand down again and again onto the chakra sphere he’d created in his left. The familiar sound of chakra twisting the air could be heard, and Naruto brought his arm back. He slammed it hard into the tree, and the chakra cut deep spiral cuts into it’s bark.
“Whoa! That was awesome.” Konohamaru said, lowering the arm he’d used to shield his face from bits of bark.
“That was only the second stage.” Naruto said with a smug grin.
“Then what does the third stage do?” Konohamaru asked in wonder.
“The third stage is all about compression.”
“But, why would you compress the attack, wouldn’t you want it to spread out like it did?” Konohamaru asked, looking at the slashes on the tree.
“That’s what I wanted to know when pervy sage was teaching me.” Naruto said, smiling as he thought back, “I’ll show you the difference.” Naruto said, and brought his hands together in front of him, and summoned a clone next to him.
“What’s the clone for?”
“You’ll see.” Naruto said, and held his right arm towards his clone. He gathered chakra and got it spinning, then nodded at his clone. His clone concentrated for a second then started to bring his hands down onto Naruto’s right hand. Naruto brought his arm back, and slammed it into the tree. It didn’t even make contact with the tree’s surface, it just began cutting into it and sending wood chips flying in all directions. Konohamaru didn’t even say anything, his mouth just dropped open and his eyes bugged out a little. Naruto’s fingers made contact with the tree, and he released the justsu.
“Now do you see the difference?” Naruto asked, grinning.
“…Wow.” was all Konohamaru could manage. He walked up to the tree and put his hand into the hole the rasengan had left in the tree, “That’s…that’s the most incredible attack I’ve ever seen.”
“See, by compressing the chakra spiral, it makes the attack more powerful. It’s like having a typhoon in the palm of your hand.”
“So…I need to know how to use shadow clones in order to use this attack.” Konohamaru said, looking down, “Can you teach that one to me?”
“I think that one may be a little advanced…” Naruto trailed off.
“Yeah, I guess…”
“Listen, Konohamaru….”
“I guess that means I’ll have to work extra hard while you’re gone, so you can teach it to me when you get back.” Konohamaru said with a grin.
“…Exactly.” Naruto said, “Ill teach it to you when I get back, ‘cause I know you’re gonna be as strong as I am by then.” Naruto held out his hand, and Konohamaru shook it.
“So let’s get back to training boss.” Konohamaru said. That’s exactly what they did, for the next several hours they trained together. They sparred and had contests to see who could do the most exercises, and Naruto even showed Konohamaru some of his new favorite taijutsu moves. When they had finished their training, they sat together in the shade of a nearby tree. Naruto looked over at Konohamaru, and saw him wiping away a tear.
“You ok?”
“Yeah…I was just…” Konohamaru struggled to speak, but every time he opened his mouth, words just seemed to fail him. Naruto knew what he was going to say, and decided to help him out.
“Konohamaru,” Naruto said, and extended a fist to him, “I’m really gonna miss you while I’m gone. You’re just like the little brother I always wished I had.” Konohamaru stared at the fist for a second, then reached out and tapped his knuckles against Naruto’s.
“I feel the same way, bo….bro.” Konohamaru said, and then got to his feet, “I think maybe it’s time I headed for home.”
“I’ll walk you back to the village. I need to head back myself.” and so they went down the path to the village together, enjoying the time they had left. When they reached the gate, they turned and gave a salute to each other, then turned and went their separate ways. Naruto didn’t dare turn and look back, afraid he might bawl his eyes out. He decided that the best thing for him to do would be to cash in that free trip to the hot springs, so that’s where he headed. When he entered into the men’s bathhouse, the attendant handed him a robe to put on, and showed him to the changing rooms. Naruto stripped quickly, and threw the robe on. He handed his clothes to the attendant, and was assured that they would be clean and dry before too long. He made his way to one of the private bath rooms (he didn’t like to wash himself in front of others) and proceeded to scrub the sweat and grime from a hard days training from his body. It was so relaxing he started to think about summoning a clone to help him relax a little more, but decided it wouldn’t be a good idea. When he’d finished washing his hair, he decided to take a dip in the hot springs. Since he was alone, he decided to just wade into the water naked, and leave his towel near the edge of the pool. Naruto waded out to the deepest part and floated on his back for a while, just staring up at the ceiling, and thinking. So much had happened over that last couple of days…training, saying goodbye…Kiba. Naruto couldn’t keep himself from smiling when he thought of Kiba, but he was still unsure of how he felt. He knew that deep down, he’d never be able to stop loving Sasuke, even after what he’d done. Would it be so…
“Yahoo!!!” Naruto’s head snapped up just in time to be hit with a splash of water.. He tried to blink the water from his eyes as he coughed and gagged from the water that had gone up his nose.
“Naruto?” he heard an all too familiar voice call.
“Kiba?!” Naruto sputtered. He stood up and quickly clamped both hands over his privates.
“Naruto?!” Kiba exclaimed, equally surprised.
“What the hell are you doing here?” Naruto cried, quickly squatting in the water.
“I come here a couple of times a week because they let me bring Akamaru in here with me. What are you dong here?” Kiba shot back. He had assumed the same position as Naruto, crouching in the water with his hands between his legs. Akamaru sat at the edge of the pool, and looked back and forth between the two of them, head tilted to one side.
“The water pipes in my building burst, so I came here for a bath and a soak.” he said, trying to look everywhere but at Kiba.
“I’ll…I’ll just go.” Naruto said, and made his way to the edge of the spring.
“Naruto, you don’t have to…I mean, it’s not like we haven’t seen each other naked before.” Kiba said quietly. Naruto thought about it for a second, and they had been naked together a couple of times before.
“I mean, we’ve been here together before.” Kiba stood up, and moved his hands, “There’s nothing for us to be nervous about.”
“I…I guess…but the last time we weren’t, you know…together.” Naruto said, his back still to Kiba.
“Come on, don’t leave. Stay here…we can have fun.” Kiba whispered into Naruto’s ear. Somehow he’d managed to move closer without Naruto knowing, and he gulped loudly.
“What kind of…fun.” Naruto whispered.
“Turn around” Kiba whispered into his ear, his tongue flicking along the edge. Naruto shivered, and slowly turned. When he looked at Kiba’s face, he saw a wicked grin.
“Gotcha!” Kiba shouted, and put his hands on top of Naruto’s head and pushed him under the water. Naruto came up a second later sputtering and thrashing his arms.
“Oh…oh man, you are way to easy!” Kiba said between gusts of laughter. Naruto wiped the water from his eyes and glared at Kiba, though there was a gleam in his eyes.
“I’ll get you for that!” Naruto growled, and tackled Kiba. Akamaru sighed, then turned in a circle and lay down. They wrestled around, trying to dunk each other for a while, then collapsed against the wall, breathing hard.
“Haven’t….haven’t had that much fun in a while.” Kiba wheezed.
“Do you come here with Shino and mess around like this?” Naruto asked.
“Nah, Shino doesn’t come here with me. It’s usually just me and Akamaru.” at the sound of his name, Akamaru jumped in and swam over to Kiba. Kiba picked him up from the water and rubbed their noses together. Naruto couldn’t help it, he laughed. It was the cutest thing he’d ever seen. Kiba blushed when he heard Naruto’s laugh, and gave him a grin.
“Sorry, sometimes I forget we’re not alone.”
“Don’t apologize. It was sweet.” Naruto said with a smile. Kiba let Akamaru go in the water again. He began doing laps around the hot spring, tail wagging furiously above the water. Kiba leaned over and gave Naruto a quick kiss on his cheek. Naruto blushed, and rubbed the back of his head.
“Thanks for not…making fun, or something.” Kiba said.
“You and Akamaru are best friends, and partners. I couldn’t make fun of that.” He reached out and grabbed Kiba’s hand, “Don’t worry, I won’t get jealous or something.”
“That’s….that’s actually something I’ve always worried about. You know, that…whoever I was with wouldn’t….understand.” Kiba said. Naruto threw an arm over Kiba’s shoulder and pulled him close. Kiba let his head rest on Naruto’s shoulder, and they sat and watched Akamaru swim happily. Kiba could feel Naruto’s pulse increasing, and his heart responded. He wasn’t sure what to do, he hadn’t intended for there first time alone and naked to be like this. He opened his mouth to say something, and then clamped it shut again, deciding that for now he should just enjoy being alone with Naruto. Naruto could feel Kiba’s pulse matching his own, and similar thoughts ran through his head. He decided, like Kiba, that they should just enjoy their time together, without it turning into something else. Their minds decided on this, but beneath the water, their bodies had other ideas. Both of them were hard as rocks, and no matter what they thought of, they couldn’t go soft.
“Maybe we should…” Naruto started, when Kiba’s lips found his. They started off with soft, gentle kisses, which quickly turned into passionate making out. Kiba ran his hand through Naruto’s wet, spiky hair, and let it slowly slide down his neck and shoulder. Kiba’s fingers found Naruto’s nipple, and he slowly traced his way around before lightly squeezing and pinching it. Naruto growled around Kiba’s lips, and kissed him harder, his hand raking through his shaggy brown hair. Not realizing his strength, Naruto grabbed Kiba and lifted them both onto the edge of the hot spring pool, setting Kiba in his lap. Naruto’s cock was now trapped between Kiba’s thighs, and he started to thrust between them. Every few thrusts Naruto’s cock would rub against Kiba’s balls, and Kiba almost lost it the first time. His hand left Naruto’s nipple, and he grabbed his own cock and began stroking it quickly. If Naruto hadn’t growled and slapped his hand away, Kiba would have cum in seconds. Naruto’s hand took the place of Kiba’s, and he stroked his cock slowly. Kiba whimpered in his throat, and Naruto smiled as they kissed. Kiba’s eyes were closed, so he didn’t see as Naruto’s eyes became slits, and a bit of the fox leaked out. Naruto started to pump Kiba even faster, while increasing his own thrusts.
“Naruto…” Kiba moaned softly, and pressed his forehead to Naruto’s shoulder. Naruto put his hand behind him to steady himself. Naruto bit his lip hard enough to draw blood to keep from screaming out, and his body jerked, and he sent a stream of cum flying. It landed all over his hand and Kiba’s cock, and added lubrication to Naruto’s pumping. Kiba couldn’t hold back any more, he grabbed Naruto and squeezed the two of them together, and cried out into Naruto’s shoulder as his orgasm overtook him.
“Augh!!” he groaned, and his cock let loose jet of semen, which coated Naruto’s stomach and hand. Kiba was panting heavily into Naruto’s shoulder, and Naruto used his clean hand to gently lift Kiba’s chin. Naruto held a cum covered finger out, and Kiba gave it a tentative sniff before he gently licked Naruto’s finger clean.
“How was that?”
“That…was the most…incredible thing I’ve ever felt.” Kiba panted out. He let his head fall back onto Naruto’s shoulder, and Naruto reached up with his clean hand to stroke Kiba’s hair.
“Yeah, it was great.” Naruto purred. He brought his other hand (still covered in his and Kiba’s cum) to his lips and picked up were Kiba had left off. He lapped most of it up with a satisfied smile, he loved the taste. He grabbed a nearby towel and went to work cleaning Kiba’s legs. Kiba didn’t move throughout the process, completely lost in the moment. Naruto finished cleaning the two of them up, and them went back into the hot spring for another dip. After another minute or two, Kiba snapped out of his trance, and let himself slide into the water. He sat next to the side, and let his head rest against the wall. Naruto sat next to him, and put an arm around him again.
“Well, so much for taking things slow.” Naruto chuckled.
“Sorry, I hadn’t meant for it to go that far…” Kiba said.
“It’s not like I tried to stop you or anything.”
“…I guess.” Kiba said, still looking a little unsure.
“Besides, we both know it was gonna happen sooner or later. I decided to go with sooner.” Naruto said with a grin, and kissed Kiba’s cheek. When he was pulling his face away from Kiba he saw the clock on the wall and immediately leapt out of the hot spring pool.
“Damnit, howd it get to be so late….Damnit, damnit, damnit! Kiba, I’m sorry but I gotta run. Find me tomorrow and we’ll do something, but I really have to go. Bye!” he cried as he ran into the changing room and threw his clothes on.
“…what the hell was that about?” Kiba asked aloud. Akamaru, who’s been doing laps around the pool swam up to Kiba and barked loudly.
“Hmm?”
“Rar wrarf, arf arf!”
“I had no idea that this is where he’d gone.”
“Grr, wrar rarf…”
“Okay, so I picked up his scent earlier and followed it, but I didn’t know he’d gone here…and it had been awhile since we’d had a relaxing soak…” Kiba said, not looking Akamaru in the eye. Akamaru snorted and swam away, and all Kiba could do was chuckle.
**************************
As Naruto ran down the path back to the village, he quickly checked off all the things he would need to get ready before Sakura and Lee arrived, and thought he would just have enough time. If it came down to it, he could always use shadow clones to get everything done faster. He couldn’t wait to see Sakura and Lee, just for the looks on their faces.

I know this chapter was along time coming, and I hope anyone who used to read this series will read this. I've already started on Night five, which will also be one part, and have the first part of Day five finished. Hope you enjoyed.
“Morning, Mr. Ukitake.” Naruto mumbled as he rubbed his eye.
“Good morning Nar…” was as far as he got before he began to cough violently. Reacting on instinct, Naruto pulled him inside (glad that he’d cleaned) and sat him at the table. He quickly grabbed a cup and held it under the faucet. He fiddled with the handles for a few seconds and only managed to get a trickle to come out. Dropping the cup into the sink he went to the fridge and pulled out one of the bottles of water he kept in case Lee came over, twisted off the cap and sat it where Mr. Ukitake could reach it. When his coughing stopped, Ukitake grabbed the bottle and took several small sips, and let out a sad sigh.
“Still as bad as ever?” Naruto asked as he slid into the chair across from him.
“No actually…” he replied with a slight smile “I’ve been receiving regular treatments from Shizune, and she thinks that I could be rid of the coughs within a year.”
“Really? That’s great! I‘ve been worried.” Naruto said. Mr. Ukitake took another sip of water and sighed.
“Now, as to the reason for my visit…” he started.
“Something’s wrong with the water.”
“Yes, apparently a couple of pipes burst some time in the night. I’ve had a work order out for them for some time…but with so much of the village under construction, this building hasn’t been a very high priority.”
“When will they have it fixed?” Naruto asked.
“They promised to have someone here tomorrow, first thing.”
“Well I’m glad I got all of my laundry done yesterday.”
“That’s good, it means I only need to give you this.” he reached into his pants pocket and drew out a small envelope, and slid it across the table to Naruto.
“What’s this?”
“It’s a voucher for one visit to the hot springs bath house.”
“Wow, thanks. This means I can train extra hard today.” Naruto grinned.
“I thought you might say something like that.” Mr. Ukitake replied with a smile. He stood up to leave, and noticed the freshly painted wall.
“What happened this time?” he pointed to the corner next to the stove.
“Just a small kitchen fire…heh heh. Nothing to be concerned with.” Naruto said, rubbing the back of his head and blushing a little. Ukitake sighed and gave his head a little shake.
“For my sake….and the buildings sake, try and keep them small.” he said as he walked to the door.
“Yes sir…” Naruto sighed, as he trailed behind to him to shut the door.
“Well…have a good day.” he told Naruto as he left. Naruto shut the door and slumped against it. This was definitely not the way to start his day off. He looked at his clock and saw that it was only 8:30. Instead of crawling back into bed and trying to get a little more sleep, Naruto decided to get an early start. He washed his face and brushed his teeth, then got his breakfast ready. When he was done it was only 9:15, so he decided he should start getting the apartment ready for Sakura and Lee. At 9:40 he started on his way to meet Konohamaru at training ground three. He took his time, and made it there a few minutes before ten. He expected to find Konohamaru already hard at work, but it was completely deserted.
“Konohamaru!!” Naruto shouted, “Don’t try any of your sneak attacks!” Naruto wandered around for a few minutes trying to find him, but he wasn’t anywhere to be seen. Naruto walked over to a nearby tree and set the sack of drinks down, then flopped down next to them. He sat there for a few minutes, waiting for Konohamaru to come running down the path. He decided that if Konohamaru didn’t show up in a few minutes he’d start training without him, and lay back and watched the sunlight drift through the leaves as the wind made them sway back and forth. It was almost hypnotic in a way and he almost fell asleep, but when his eyes started to shut he realized what was happening and leapt to his feet.
“I don’t have time for sleep now!” He cried, and started to do jumping jacks to wake himself up. When he reached 200 he decided that was enough, and started doing pushups and then switched to sit-ups. He was almost done when he heard someone running down the path from the village. He looked over to see Konohamaru running over to him.
“’Bout time you showed up, what kept you?” Naruto asked as he stood up.
“Sorry Naruto. Ebisu Sensei returned from his mission late last night. He called me, Moegi, and Udon together to let us know that regular classes and training sessions are going to start up again tomorrow, and we’re gonna have a whole bunch of new classmates and we need to be nice to them since they’re new to the village.”
“That must mean Iruka Sensei is back too!”
“Yeah, Ebisu said he was going to meet Iruka when he got done talkin’ to us.”
“Alright, so this will be the last day of personal training I can give you.” Naruto said, “So get ready, we’re gonna work harder than we have before!”
“Let’s get started!” Konohamaru cried.
“Yeah!” Naruto roared back. They stood there looking at each other for a couple of seconds, and the wind continued swirl gently around them.
“So, where do we start?” Konohamaru asked.
“Right….um…we need to build up your chakra supply, and the only way to do that is with plenty of exercise. So start with a hundred push ups!”
“You got it Naruto!” Konohamaru yelled as he fell forward and began the push ups. It was easy for him, Ebisu gave him much harder exercise routines…or that’s what he thought before Naruto sat on his back. He’d started out well, but with Naruto’s added weight he was starting to struggle. By the time he got to fifty, he felt like he wanted to curl up and die, but he managed to tough it out to seventy before he couldn’t go any more.
“Wow Konohamaru, I’m really impressed, I thought for sure you’d give up or ask for a break at fifty.” Naruto said while getting off Konohamaru’s back.
“Thanks…..boss.” Konohamaru managed to get out between wheezes. Naruto grabbed some drinks from the sack and tossed one to him, and Konohamaru twisted the top off and quickly guzzled half of it, and let out a satisfied sigh. They sat their in the shade of the tree and enjoyed the feel of the gentle breeze.
“So, what’s next?” Konohamaru asked as he set the bottle down and jumped to his feet.
“Next is sit-ups.” Naruto said as he got up.
“Sit-ups, is that all.” Konohamaru scoffed.
“These will be a little different….heh heh.” Naruto said.
“Different how?” Konohamaru asked. Naruto just smiled and told Konohamaru to close his eyes. Konohamaru cold hear him doing something, but he couldn’t tell what.
“Okay Konohamaru, open your eyes.” Naruto said. He opened his eyes slowly and looked at Naruto. Naruto was holding one end of a rope and wore a wicked smile. Chuckling loudly, Naruto pointed to the ground and Konohamaru looked down. There was a circle of rope around his feet.
“How is…” is as far as he got before Naruto pulled on his end of the rope, and Konohamaru was swept off his feet and left hanging upside down from the tree.
“Just do fifty sit-ups like that and I’ll let you back down.” Naruto said with a wicked grin.
“Um…Okay…no problem.” Konohamaru replied with a smirk. It was much harder exercise than he was used to…but he was determined not to let Naruto down. He started out fast trying to get done as quickly as possible, but he’d started to wear himself out by fifteen. He slowed himself down, and managed to get all the way to fifty. When he did the last one he dropped down and let his arms hang down below him. His face was a deep red, and he was breathing hard. Naruto let go of the rope, and dashed forward to catch Konohamaru before he hit the ground.
“Thanks….Naruto.” Konohamaru said between breaths.
“You didn’t think I’d just let you fall did ya’, heh heh.” Naruto replied with a grin.
“Not for a second.” Konohamaru grinned back, though he knew that Naruto would have if it were for a joke. Naruto set him on the ground and grabbed another drink for Konohamaru. He took the bottle with a nod of thanks and leaned back against the tree. They sat their in silence for a few minutes and let the wind and shade cool them off and dry the sweat from their bodies.
“Ok Konohamaru, let’s see how you do now.” Naruto said as he grabbed a rubber ball from the sack and tossed it to Konohamaru. He caught it easily, then set down his drink and hopped to his feet.
“Ok, here goes.” Konohamaru said, and began to gather his chakra. He started rotating his chakra inside the ball, increasing the amount of chakra and the speed of its rotation as much as he could. He brought his right hand back and repeated the process. He held both his hands in place for a second, trying to focus his mind, then brought his right hand down hard on the rubber ball. He brought his hand down so many times that Naruto lost count, and then squeezed his eyes shut before bringing it down one last time. He squeezed the ball as hard as he could between his hands, hoping it would help and added any left over chakra he had. The ball quivered and its surface stretched out in several directions. He managed to hold it like that for a few seconds, but it became too much of a strain and he had to release the chakra. The ball went back to it’s usual shape, and Konohamaru opened his eyes to stare at it, hoping that maybe it would still pop. When nothing happened after a few seconds he let out a defeated sigh and let it drop to the ground. When it hit, it made a soft “plop” sound, and didn’t bounce. Konohamaru stared at it for a second, then bent down to pick it. He gently rolled it in his hands and could feel that it was slightly deflated. When he had turned it completely, he noticed the pin sized hole, and his face lit up with a smile.
“Look Naruto, I did it!” he cried, and tossed the ball to Naruto.
“Good Job, Konohamaru. With more training, you’ll get the ball to explode sometime soon.” Naruto said with a nod.
“But not soon enough, you’re leaving in a few days.” Konohamaru muttered.
“Yeah, but I’ll be back….someday.” Naruto said, “Alright Konohamaru, I tell you what. You promise to keep training hard everyday, and I’ll show you the final stage of the rasengan. Deal?” Naruto extended his hand to Konohamaru..
“You got it Naruto!” Konohamaru said, and took Naruto’s hand.
“Alright, get clear of the tree.” Naruto said. Konohamaru got onto Naruto’s left side and stood a few feet away from the tree they’d been training under.
“Ok, so, the first stage is all about rotation, right?” Naruto asked as he brought his left hand out in front. His hand began to glow a faint blue with the chakra he channeled.
“Yeah.”
“And the second step is about adding as much power as possible.” Naruto said as he began to gathered chakra into his right.
“Uh-huh.” Konohamaru replied, looking wide eyed at Naruto.
“Ok, here’s the attack you have now.” Naruto said, and brought his right hand down again and again onto the chakra sphere he’d created in his left. The familiar sound of chakra twisting the air could be heard, and Naruto brought his arm back. He slammed it hard into the tree, and the chakra cut deep spiral cuts into it’s bark.
“Whoa! That was awesome.” Konohamaru said, lowering the arm he’d used to shield his face from bits of bark.
“That was only the second stage.” Naruto said with a smug grin.
“Then what does the third stage do?” Konohamaru asked in wonder.
“The third stage is all about compression.”
“But, why would you compress the attack, wouldn’t you want it to spread out like it did?” Konohamaru asked, looking at the slashes on the tree.
“That’s what I wanted to know when pervy sage was teaching me.” Naruto said, smiling as he thought back, “I’ll show you the difference.” Naruto said, and brought his hands together in front of him, and summoned a clone next to him.
“What’s the clone for?”
“You’ll see.” Naruto said, and held his right arm towards his clone. He gathered chakra and got it spinning, then nodded at his clone. His clone concentrated for a second then started to bring his hands down onto Naruto’s right hand. Naruto brought his arm back, and slammed it into the tree. It didn’t even make contact with the tree’s surface, it just began cutting into it and sending wood chips flying in all directions. Konohamaru didn’t even say anything, his mouth just dropped open and his eyes bugged out a little. Naruto’s fingers made contact with the tree, and he released the justsu.
“Now do you see the difference?” Naruto asked, grinning.
“…Wow.” was all Konohamaru could manage. He walked up to the tree and put his hand into the hole the rasengan had left in the tree, “That’s…that’s the most incredible attack I’ve ever seen.”
“See, by compressing the chakra spiral, it makes the attack more powerful. It’s like having a typhoon in the palm of your hand.”
“So…I need to know how to use shadow clones in order to use this attack.” Konohamaru said, looking down, “Can you teach that one to me?”
“I think that one may be a little advanced…” Naruto trailed off.
“Yeah, I guess…”
“Listen, Konohamaru….”
“I guess that means I’ll have to work extra hard while you’re gone, so you can teach it to me when you get back.” Konohamaru said with a grin.
“…Exactly.” Naruto said, “Ill teach it to you when I get back, ‘cause I know you’re gonna be as strong as I am by then.” Naruto held out his hand, and Konohamaru shook it.
“So let’s get back to training boss.” Konohamaru said. That’s exactly what they did, for the next several hours they trained together. They sparred and had contests to see who could do the most exercises, and Naruto even showed Konohamaru some of his new favorite taijutsu moves. When they had finished their training, they sat together in the shade of a nearby tree. Naruto looked over at Konohamaru, and saw him wiping away a tear.
“You ok?”
“Yeah…I was just…” Konohamaru struggled to speak, but every time he opened his mouth, words just seemed to fail him. Naruto knew what he was going to say, and decided to help him out.
“Konohamaru,” Naruto said, and extended a fist to him, “I’m really gonna miss you while I’m gone. You’re just like the little brother I always wished I had.” Konohamaru stared at the fist for a second, then reached out and tapped his knuckles against Naruto’s.
“I feel the same way, bo….bro.” Konohamaru said, and then got to his feet, “I think maybe it’s time I headed for home.”
“I’ll walk you back to the village. I need to head back myself.” and so they went down the path to the village together, enjoying the time they had left. When they reached the gate, they turned and gave a salute to each other, then turned and went their separate ways. Naruto didn’t dare turn and look back, afraid he might bawl his eyes out. He decided that the best thing for him to do would be to cash in that free trip to the hot springs, so that’s where he headed. When he entered into the men’s bathhouse, the attendant handed him a robe to put on, and showed him to the changing rooms. Naruto stripped quickly, and threw the robe on. He handed his clothes to the attendant, and was assured that they would be clean and dry before too long. He made his way to one of the private bath rooms (he didn’t like to wash himself in front of others) and proceeded to scrub the sweat and grime from a hard days training from his body. It was so relaxing he started to think about summoning a clone to help him relax a little more, but decided it wouldn’t be a good idea. When he’d finished washing his hair, he decided to take a dip in the hot springs. Since he was alone, he decided to just wade into the water naked, and leave his towel near the edge of the pool. Naruto waded out to the deepest part and floated on his back for a while, just staring up at the ceiling, and thinking. So much had happened over that last couple of days…training, saying goodbye…Kiba. Naruto couldn’t keep himself from smiling when he thought of Kiba, but he was still unsure of how he felt. He knew that deep down, he’d never be able to stop loving Sasuke, even after what he’d done. Would it be so…
“Yahoo!!!” Naruto’s head snapped up just in time to be hit with a splash of water.. He tried to blink the water from his eyes as he coughed and gagged from the water that had gone up his nose.
“Naruto?” he heard an all too familiar voice call.
“Kiba?!” Naruto sputtered. He stood up and quickly clamped both hands over his privates.
“Naruto?!” Kiba exclaimed, equally surprised.
“What the hell are you doing here?” Naruto cried, quickly squatting in the water.
“I come here a couple of times a week because they let me bring Akamaru in here with me. What are you dong here?” Kiba shot back. He had assumed the same position as Naruto, crouching in the water with his hands between his legs. Akamaru sat at the edge of the pool, and looked back and forth between the two of them, head tilted to one side.
“The water pipes in my building burst, so I came here for a bath and a soak.” he said, trying to look everywhere but at Kiba.
“I’ll…I’ll just go.” Naruto said, and made his way to the edge of the spring.
“Naruto, you don’t have to…I mean, it’s not like we haven’t seen each other naked before.” Kiba said quietly. Naruto thought about it for a second, and they had been naked together a couple of times before.
“I mean, we’ve been here together before.” Kiba stood up, and moved his hands, “There’s nothing for us to be nervous about.”
“I…I guess…but the last time we weren’t, you know…together.” Naruto said, his back still to Kiba.
“Come on, don’t leave. Stay here…we can have fun.” Kiba whispered into Naruto’s ear. Somehow he’d managed to move closer without Naruto knowing, and he gulped loudly.
“What kind of…fun.” Naruto whispered.
“Turn around” Kiba whispered into his ear, his tongue flicking along the edge. Naruto shivered, and slowly turned. When he looked at Kiba’s face, he saw a wicked grin.
“Gotcha!” Kiba shouted, and put his hands on top of Naruto’s head and pushed him under the water. Naruto came up a second later sputtering and thrashing his arms.
“Oh…oh man, you are way to easy!” Kiba said between gusts of laughter. Naruto wiped the water from his eyes and glared at Kiba, though there was a gleam in his eyes.
“I’ll get you for that!” Naruto growled, and tackled Kiba. Akamaru sighed, then turned in a circle and lay down. They wrestled around, trying to dunk each other for a while, then collapsed against the wall, breathing hard.
“Haven’t….haven’t had that much fun in a while.” Kiba wheezed.
“Do you come here with Shino and mess around like this?” Naruto asked.
“Nah, Shino doesn’t come here with me. It’s usually just me and Akamaru.” at the sound of his name, Akamaru jumped in and swam over to Kiba. Kiba picked him up from the water and rubbed their noses together. Naruto couldn’t help it, he laughed. It was the cutest thing he’d ever seen. Kiba blushed when he heard Naruto’s laugh, and gave him a grin.
“Sorry, sometimes I forget we’re not alone.”
“Don’t apologize. It was sweet.” Naruto said with a smile. Kiba let Akamaru go in the water again. He began doing laps around the hot spring, tail wagging furiously above the water. Kiba leaned over and gave Naruto a quick kiss on his cheek. Naruto blushed, and rubbed the back of his head.
“Thanks for not…making fun, or something.” Kiba said.
“You and Akamaru are best friends, and partners. I couldn’t make fun of that.” He reached out and grabbed Kiba’s hand, “Don’t worry, I won’t get jealous or something.”
“That’s….that’s actually something I’ve always worried about. You know, that…whoever I was with wouldn’t….understand.” Kiba said. Naruto threw an arm over Kiba’s shoulder and pulled him close. Kiba let his head rest on Naruto’s shoulder, and they sat and watched Akamaru swim happily. Kiba could feel Naruto’s pulse increasing, and his heart responded. He wasn’t sure what to do, he hadn’t intended for there first time alone and naked to be like this. He opened his mouth to say something, and then clamped it shut again, deciding that for now he should just enjoy being alone with Naruto. Naruto could feel Kiba’s pulse matching his own, and similar thoughts ran through his head. He decided, like Kiba, that they should just enjoy their time together, without it turning into something else. Their minds decided on this, but beneath the water, their bodies had other ideas. Both of them were hard as rocks, and no matter what they thought of, they couldn’t go soft.
“Maybe we should…” Naruto started, when Kiba’s lips found his. They started off with soft, gentle kisses, which quickly turned into passionate making out. Kiba ran his hand through Naruto’s wet, spiky hair, and let it slowly slide down his neck and shoulder. Kiba’s fingers found Naruto’s nipple, and he slowly traced his way around before lightly squeezing and pinching it. Naruto growled around Kiba’s lips, and kissed him harder, his hand raking through his shaggy brown hair. Not realizing his strength, Naruto grabbed Kiba and lifted them both onto the edge of the hot spring pool, setting Kiba in his lap. Naruto’s cock was now trapped between Kiba’s thighs, and he started to thrust between them. Every few thrusts Naruto’s cock would rub against Kiba’s balls, and Kiba almost lost it the first time. His hand left Naruto’s nipple, and he grabbed his own cock and began stroking it quickly. If Naruto hadn’t growled and slapped his hand away, Kiba would have cum in seconds. Naruto’s hand took the place of Kiba’s, and he stroked his cock slowly. Kiba whimpered in his throat, and Naruto smiled as they kissed. Kiba’s eyes were closed, so he didn’t see as Naruto’s eyes became slits, and a bit of the fox leaked out. Naruto started to pump Kiba even faster, while increasing his own thrusts.
“Naruto…” Kiba moaned softly, and pressed his forehead to Naruto’s shoulder. Naruto put his hand behind him to steady himself. Naruto bit his lip hard enough to draw blood to keep from screaming out, and his body jerked, and he sent a stream of cum flying. It landed all over his hand and Kiba’s cock, and added lubrication to Naruto’s pumping. Kiba couldn’t hold back any more, he grabbed Naruto and squeezed the two of them together, and cried out into Naruto’s shoulder as his orgasm overtook him.
“Augh!!” he groaned, and his cock let loose jet of semen, which coated Naruto’s stomach and hand. Kiba was panting heavily into Naruto’s shoulder, and Naruto used his clean hand to gently lift Kiba’s chin. Naruto held a cum covered finger out, and Kiba gave it a tentative sniff before he gently licked Naruto’s finger clean.
“How was that?”
“That…was the most…incredible thing I’ve ever felt.” Kiba panted out. He let his head fall back onto Naruto’s shoulder, and Naruto reached up with his clean hand to stroke Kiba’s hair.
“Yeah, it was great.” Naruto purred. He brought his other hand (still covered in his and Kiba’s cum) to his lips and picked up were Kiba had left off. He lapped most of it up with a satisfied smile, he loved the taste. He grabbed a nearby towel and went to work cleaning Kiba’s legs. Kiba didn’t move throughout the process, completely lost in the moment. Naruto finished cleaning the two of them up, and them went back into the hot spring for another dip. After another minute or two, Kiba snapped out of his trance, and let himself slide into the water. He sat next to the side, and let his head rest against the wall. Naruto sat next to him, and put an arm around him again.
“Well, so much for taking things slow.” Naruto chuckled.
“Sorry, I hadn’t meant for it to go that far…” Kiba said.
“It’s not like I tried to stop you or anything.”
“…I guess.” Kiba said, still looking a little unsure.
“Besides, we both know it was gonna happen sooner or later. I decided to go with sooner.” Naruto said with a grin, and kissed Kiba’s cheek. When he was pulling his face away from Kiba he saw the clock on the wall and immediately leapt out of the hot spring pool.
“Damnit, howd it get to be so late….Damnit, damnit, damnit! Kiba, I’m sorry but I gotta run. Find me tomorrow and we’ll do something, but I really have to go. Bye!” he cried as he ran into the changing room and threw his clothes on.
“…what the hell was that about?” Kiba asked aloud. Akamaru, who’s been doing laps around the pool swam up to Kiba and barked loudly.
“Hmm?”
“Rar wrarf, arf arf!”
“I had no idea that this is where he’d gone.”
“Grr, wrar rarf…”
“Okay, so I picked up his scent earlier and followed it, but I didn’t know he’d gone here…and it had been awhile since we’d had a relaxing soak…” Kiba said, not looking Akamaru in the eye. Akamaru snorted and swam away, and all Kiba could do was chuckle.
**************************
As Naruto ran down the path back to the village, he quickly checked off all the things he would need to get ready before Sakura and Lee arrived, and thought he would just have enough time. If it came down to it, he could always use shadow clones to get everything done faster. He couldn’t wait to see Sakura and Lee, just for the looks on their faces.
