Naruto : Uchiha : Chapter 66
"Oi…" his yelp didn't help in the slightest when her strong arms took a hold of his shoulders and pulled him in the tub too. The two started laughing and splashing even more hot water onto each other.
...
Their laughs and splashes ended upon seeing a single peering eye with a furry ear poking in through the opened door.
"Kiara, come to mama…" Tsunade cooed softly with open arms, but her form slumped in defeat when the furry thing ran away for dear life. "…she could listen to me once you know." she mumbled dejectedly, feeling a slight poke on her forehead only to see Naruto stepping out of the tub.
"Hey where are you going?" she asked innocently, completely oblivious as to how weird it sounded to anyone other than her - given their situations.
But Naruto knew better than to call her on it…
"Oh! If you wanted that, why didn't you say so earlier?" his voice contained all the innocence in the world. His hands started pulling up the helm of his shirt to take it off, and only then did Tsunade realize what he was talking about.
"HENTAI!" she shrilled almost comically, picking up the bottle of conditioner by her side on instinct and chucking it like a kunai at the laughing boy…who barely dodged the thing and had the presence mind to run out, lest he came in her grasp and got beaten down to a pulp.
Her body dipped down into the warm water nose deep, trying to hide her cherry red cheeks from no one in particular. Her arms wrapped around themselves and pulled off her wet clothes in the water to complete her bath.
"Why am I so comfortable around him?" her heart pounded like a steam engine with her crazy thoughts running rampant in every recess of her mind.
She had to talk to her grandmother about this later on…
Her eyes widened just as soon as all her clothes came off. And only then did she realize that just a few minutes of laughs with him, and she had all but forgotten about her earlier problems.
"That Idiot…" she mumbled in her head, knowing quite well he had done it on purpose. That thrice damned Uchiha was too smart for his own good sometimes.
Though the smile etched on her lips never left her face after that while she hummed a soft tune to herself while lathering herself in the tub…
Naruto stepped downstairs from his room after a bath himself, in his casual clothes comprising of a simple white T-shirt and blue pants. The shirt was emblazoned with a small clan symbol on the back of his neck - with that being the only embroidery upon the pristine fabric of said garment.
He blinked just as soon as he made the last step down upon hearing the knock at the main door. As far as he could think, there was no one who would visit him this early on in the morning. Though he shrugged and went on to open the door anyways.
"Yo!" a happy voice chirped up from the other side of the door, and the young Uchiha was quite surprised seeing these unexpected guests.
"Jiraiya? Orochimaru?" he asked out loud, only serving to make the white haired boy grin even more while the other was as blank as ever.
"What are you guys doing here?" he couldn't even think about manners right now. The two were never really that close of friends to him as they were acquaintances, with Tsunade being their moderator of sorts.
"We were worried about Tsunade you know, so we went to her house but it was empty.
Even her grandmother's house was barren, so we asked around and everyone said to look here and well…" Jiraiya explained jovially, getting a nod from Naruto who turned to look at the yellow eyed boy.
Who, in his honest opinion didn't look like he wanted to be here in the first place.
"He dragged me here." Orochimaru's voice seemed almost annoyed, and a look of realization washed upon the blonde who nodded innocently. Tsunade had a tendency to do that with him quite a lot too, so he could reminisce with the boy.
"Ah, well come on in. She's here…" he stepped aside and motioned them in before closing the door. The two did look around the palace looking house in slight awe.
Even Jiraiya put his sandals nicely with just the calming aura the house seemed to radiate. It almost seemed as if the house was alive in his opinion.
"I guess you haven't had breakfast…" Naruto asked out loud, and the two boys blinked and broke out of their stupors before following him in like lost puppies.
"No were fine…"
"We haven't, we'll take you up on that offer Naruto-san." Orochimaru's curt voice cut in through Jiraiya's own, who glowered down at his teammate heatedly.
Well so much for being formal, he thought hearing the blonde boy laugh in front of him.
"That's great, have a seat…" both boys sat on the dining table while their host got on to work with their breakfasts.
"So where's flat ch-OW!" Jiraiya rubbed his ankle and glared down at Orochimaru who narrowed his own eyes back. "I mean Tsunade." he finally finished with an irritated grunt.
"She's taking a bath." Naruto simply spoke, not seeing the strange grin Jiraiya had upon hearing that.
"Naruto, can I take a look around your house?" Jiraiya asked innocently, and got an off handed affirmative from the boy who had immersed himself too much in cooking to notice it while Orochimaru was reading a scroll on basic sealing he had borrowed from his shelf.
Jiraiya disappeared into the shadows, blending into the walls after making himself invisible with a few hand seals and started stepping upstairs following the soft tune of humming coming from there.
And right on target…he had found his paradise.
"Oh Kami, I can die peacefully now…" his nose dripped with a trickle of blood seeing her come out from the bathroom with nothing but a couple of wet pink towels covering her body and hair.
She looked so beautiful he mused with a blush, looking at her opening her slightly wet hair while wiping them off the water with dazed eyes.
She had her back turned to him right now and was standing in front of the closet, which was only a curtain to the peeping tom before the main show started.
Finally, after what seemed like eternity to the boy did her hands grab the edges of her towel and opened it up front. His mouth opened slightly with an even thicker nose bleed, he was just about to watch the doors of paradise open right in front of him!
As soon as she would turn…oh kami he felt like fainting…
Tsunade stopped just shy from letting her towel drop, she felt quite strange.
As if she was being…
…
…
…
…
Watched.
She molded a little of her chakra, just enough to let her senses cover the confines of the room. She smiled upon finding an all too familiar chakra source standing just behind her, and wrapped up her towel back again.
"Enjoy the show Jiraiya?" she asked sweetly, a bit too sweetly in fact. His dazed state broke when she snapped her eyes back straight onto an empty corner of the room, her eyes narrowed quite dangerously over it.
Jiraiya only managed to break out of his perverted reverie upon him, when he felt his senses tingle as soon as the insane blood-lust had taken over the room.
He did gulp audibly, seeing her look straight towards him that way - like she was about to kill him. And cracked her knuckles loudly to emphasize her point.
But what did increase his panic exponentially, was her smile. It was sweet…too sweet, and let's just say he had a feeling of foreboding at what was about to come.
"Tsunade…" he did the intelligent thing and dropped his Transparency Technique to come in her eyesight. To not aggravate her any further than he already might have, his palms flailed out in front of him almost helplessly and pleadingly in fact.
"… we can talk about this slight misunderstanding…" he tried to reason with her and be the intelligent one here.
Not like she cared anyways.
"We'll talk…" once more it sent shivers down his spine seeing that awfully sweet smile coupled with her matching voice while she walked nearer and nearer slowly-almost like a stalking predator coming for his prey.
"Once I'm done with you that is." and just like that, a shadow loomed over his form while he awaited his pending doom.
"AHHH!"
Both Naruto -who was working on the final touches over the prepared plate; and Orochimaru who looked up from his scroll blinked in unison upon hearing the blood curdling scream that came from upstairs.
"Wasn't that Jiraiya?" Naruto couldn't help but ask, and Orochimaru's tired sigh did help to confirm and confuse the boy at the same time.
Curiosity finally got the better of him, and he stepped out to have a look with the snake eyed boy in tow behind him. Maybe Jiraiya had fallen in the bathroom and maybe even gotten injured? Were Naruto's thoughts…
Orochimaru's thoughts were, on the other hand much too close to reality. He had a good idea as to what could have occurred given what he knew of his teammate over the past few months.
And needless to say, he would be embarrassed quite a lot before being barred entry into a new place - again - like he had been privy to countless times before, courtesy of his teammate.
The one and only Jiraiya.
The scene was clearly one Naruto wasn't expecting. Orochimaru was. And he was right on the mark like always. Standing over a beaten and bruised lump of flesh that Naruto recognized to be Jiraiya, was Tsunade with a slight cock of her hips - still clad in only a wet towel to cover her now dried body.
The expression on her face was one of annoyance and irritation, but it changed quite quickly when she turned to her two other guests.
Her own golden orbs met azure ones, staring into each other for a moment before her eyes widened. A rosy blush flashed over her cheeks while she averted her eyes from his intense stare-her heart picking up it's pace considerably each passing moment.
She rubbed her right arm with her left palm to cover herself a bit more and tried to look at anywhere but those piercing eyes staring straight onto her face.
"He peeped on me." she mumbled in a whisper as if she was the one who had committed the act. And Orochimaru's slender eyebrow raised in amusement at seeing this new side of his female teammate. Needless to say, this was one side he hadn't seen until now - though it certainly was amusing.
Tsunade felt so embarrassed from Naruto's stare- she felt as if she would faint any moment now when he started walking near her. Though she was shocked when his arm snaked around her waist and cradled the back her head, the other one resting just above her hip to wrap her up in a warm embrace.
"You'll catch a cold like this silly…" he chortled her in a scolding tone, and only then did she realize how cold she was.
She was shivering.
