Chapter 54.5: The Boys

Due to the fight against Okamitsuki, Yamato forced Toru to take a break until the chunin exam finals begin. Keeping his body healthy until that time is the top priority, after all this boy had already trained enough, only three days left until the third exam of the chunin selection exams start.

(Why did I have to come to this place...?)

Sighing tiredly, Toru felt the stress of the past few days building up on his back, making his body heavy, and forcing his brain to give up on any physical activity, but all his decisions so far had led him to this place.

"Hot springs..."

With a smile, Yamato took a deep breath as he looked at the hot springs complex in front of him. For a man like Yamato, hot springs are the fountain of youth, or something like that, as they relax the body and take the worries away from the mind, giving way to inner peace.

However, there were not only Yamato and Toru, but also Hinata, Hanabi and Ino, who also went of their own free will, unlike Toru, who was forcibly brought there by Yamato.

"Ha~ when was the last time I came to this place?"

With a smile on her face , Ino was happy to be here, as she always tries to achieve the ultimate beauty, and being in a hot spring resort was certainly something to get excited about. When talking about skin care and treatment, women are the ones who know the most about this kind of things, that's why Ino was happy to be at this hot spring resort.

"Looks like Nii-san doesn't look excited."

"I think... Toru-kun always if he looks like that..."

Looking at the only person in front of them, the Hyuga sisters could see Toru's expressionless face, although he always has that dead fish expression, today the aura of depression surrounded Toru's body.

"That doesn't matter, we have to go inside at once."

Taking Hinata and Hanabi's hand, Ino hurried into the compound.

"We should go in too."

Putting his hands in his pockets, Yamato passed through the door, arriving inside the hot spring complex. On the other hand, Toru stood in front of the complex without saying anything.

(I've never come to this kind of place...).

Following Yamato's footsteps, Toru sighed. He was tired of so many difficult experiences, so, accepting that he was in this place, he decided that he would give these hot springs that Ino talked so much about on the way here a chance.

Upon arrival, Toru could quickly notice that the place was clean, and somehow had a salty smell due to the hot water from the baths.

This was strange for him, it was his first experience in a place like this, but he wasn't nervous at all, just curious.

(He's looking at me...)

Shrugging his shoulders, Toru could notice someone's gaze. The person who was looking at him was a woman, she was behind a counter with a smile on her face.

"Do you need help, little ninja?"

Approaching Toru, the woman smiled. She had black hair tied in a bun, forming a ponytail, her eyes were black as well and she had two big boobs that looked tight inside her yukata.

After listening to the woman, Toru shook his head, he was sure he wouldn't need help with this kind of thing.

"No need..."

Closing his eyes, Toru simply continued on his way after receiving the room key. The trip wasn't that long as Yamato was in front of the room's door.

"Sensei, where are the girls?"

"Hm...? I think they already went into the bathrooms, you should go too, I have some things to fix in the room."

Nodding in reply, Toru walked away from the place in the direction of the hot springs. On the way he could see many women in yukata, it seemed that women really like hot springs. But something else caught the attention of this boy with one foot on the teenage ladder, it was the tits of all the women he saw.

(How would it feel to touch them?)

Looking at his hand, Toru imagined different scenes where he touched the breasts of many women, well, he is a young boy after all. Boys of that age start to get interested in women, so it wasn't such a rare thing.

But the next thought made Toru stop in his tracks.

(What will Hinata's be like?)

Shaking his head, Toru touched his lips with his index finger while thinking.

Hinata seemed to have a long way to go, she was still a young girl, so her small breasts may still grow quite a bit, this made Toru start calculating how much Hinata's breasts will grow in the next few years.

(Taking into account the current size... won't they be too big?)

Toru could imagine Hinata in a few years, somehow she would become more beautiful. But there was also Ino, she seemed to be a bit flat, but in the future, Toru could say that she would become just as beautiful as Hinata, on the other hand, Hanabi was very similar to Hinata, so it wasn't hard to imagine this girl in a few years.

"Am I there yet?"

Realizing that he had started walking without paying attention, Toru saw the curtain which had the word 'Man' painted on it in black, apparently he had arrived at the hot spring without knowing the way.

Without thinking so much about it, Toru sighed and entered the place.

Passing through the curtain, Toru saw a shelf with different baskets, there were clothes in one of them, this made Toru tilted his head curiously, after all he recognized the color and design of those clothes.

So, taking off his clothes and putting them in the next basket, Toru took a towel and wrapped it around his waist. He looked at the white curtain for a few seconds before stepping inside.

A voice was heard.

"Ha~ all that old idiot wants is to see girls with no clothes on. Damn Ero-sennin, he just taught me a jutsu and then disappeared."

"Naruto...?"

Seeing the person responsible for the voice that was heard, Toru opened his eyes a little, after all Naruto was stuck in the pool of hot water.

"Toru...?"

Naruto looked confused, he never expected his childhood friend to show up here, but he immediately remembered something that made his blood run hot with anger.

"You damn idiot! You said almost a month ago that we'd eat ramen, but you never showed up! Dattebayo!"

Climbing out of the water, Naruto had a towel draped around his lower waist.

"Dattebayo?"

"Don't play dumb, you know what I mean."

With a small tear in the corner of his eye, Naruto clenched his fist as he looked up at the ceiling.

"I waited for so long, in an abyss of loneliness, even my bowl of ramen got cold because you never showed up."

Making a strange monologue, Naruto felt hurt, after all he was waiting for four hours for his friend, but his friend never showed up.

"Sorry, I forgot, I had things to do."

Negating with his hand, Toru had completely forgotten about it, after all he only had a month to prepare, so he didn't remember that he had promised to eat ramen with Naruto.

"That doesn't matter anymore, Sakura-chan told me that you and Ino have been training. Tell me, tell me, what did you learn? I learned a super cool jutsu to summon a giant toad."

Smiling excitedly, Naruto was curious to know what Toru learned these past few days, obviously Toru wasn't going to reveal his tricks to Naruto, considering that Naruto's tongue is like a snake's, everyone would know Toru's jutsu.

"I learned things... I won't say anything else."

"How boring you are. Still, in three days let's give our best. I won't hold back."

With a defiant smile, Naruto extended his hand forming a fist. Toru closed his eyes and also extended his hand, clashing fists with Naruto.

"Sounds good to me, I'm not going to hold back either."

With a sigh, Toru didn't know who he will have to fight, but if it's Naruto, he was definitely going to win, but considering this guy never gives up, he could put on a great show.

"Wow, what do I see around here, the loser and the weirdo."

Hearing a voice near the front door, Naruto and Toru looked at each other before spotting the one responsible for this interruption.

In front of them, stood four boys, Shikamaru, Chouji, Shino and Kiba. None of those present understood how they could have coincided in the same place, but that didn't matter, this is their vacation, so nothing can ruin it.

"Being in this hot place made me hungry, good thing I brought something to eat."

"Chouji, you can't bring food into the pool...ha~ this is a bummer."

As was usual, Chouji was always eating, on the other hand Shikamaru always had an aura that life sucked and that annoying things should be left to other people.

"Don't make so much noise."

Shino seemed to be a bit irritated, and had his face covered with a mask like Kakashi's, something a bit strange considering they're in a hot spring pool, but despite this he was mature enough to keep his cool.

"Besides, why are you calling me a loser, weren't you the one who lost to my powerful jutsu?"

"Agh, don't remind me. You only won because you got lucky."

"Oh, really, are you sure it was luck and not my amazing ninja skill?"

With a smirk, Naruto was teasing Kiba, well, he lost to Naruto, so it was payback time for all these years.

Toru approved this with a thumbs up, as he somehow understood how Naruto felt.

"Why did they have to drag me to this place? Everyone is so annoying, it's such a drag..."

With a pessimistic expression, Shikamaru ignored everyone and entered the pool, sinking into the water until only his head was left in the air. The sensation he got at first was of his skin getting the temperature shock, but after a second he got used to it, giving way to that feeling of relaxation.

Seeing this, the others also entered the hot springs, submerging themselves up to their necks.

"So what did you guys do?"

Eating some fried food, Chouji was a little curious, he had lost in the preliminaries, so he didn't know what those who qualified had done.

"Train."

Naruto, Toru and Shino answered in unison. Shikamaru didn't want to get involved in the conversation, so he closed his eyes trying to relax.

"Really, that jutsu sounds amazing! Should I try it?"

But listening to Naruto's voice it was impossible, this just made him feel miserable. So, adjusting the towel around his waist, Shikamaru was about to run away from the place, but some female voices interrupted him, de hechp these voices interrupted the conversation of the others.

"Don't touch me like that, it feels weird..."

"Relax, Hakuto-chan, you'll feel fine soon."

Hearing these two voices, Shikamaru and Kiba looked away in a futile attempt to hide their embarrassment, but the voices intensified.

"Wait, stop... Ahn~"

That groan unleashed something strange among the boys there.

"That's Enko and Hakuto, right?"

With a trembling hand, Naruto's face was red. He didn't know what was happening on the other side of the wooden wall, but it was certainly something Naruto wanted to see.

Everyone seemed to feel strange except for Shino and Toru, who remained expressionless throughout.

"Hm... I understand... that sounds good."

Crossing his arms, Shino seemed to be talking to one of his insects. Everyone watched in confusion until the boy with the mask over his mouth said something.

"So they're pink, huh..."

Nodding his head, Shino could imagine everything that was going on, after all the little insect standing on Shino's shoulder had been in the women's bathroom before.

"Hey, Shino... don't tell me that..."

Kiba already knew, but he didn't want to admit it. That little insect was telling him everything he had seen to Shino, and it seemed to give very accurate details.

"Ino, don't do that. I'm very sensitive."

"But your skin is so soft, it feels good."

"Onee-san always looks so cute, I want to touch too."

Hearing those three voices, Toru stood up and approached the wooden wall.

Everyone was amazed by this man's bravery, not only did he have the courage to approach, but also that he was about to perform a jutsu right now.

(I'm curious, this might come in handy in the future).

Holding up two fingers in front of his face, Toru's eyes glowed, the pupil became a black colored X and now all the golden lines were visible.

(Falle...)

Shrugging his shoulders, Toru came back and sat on the edge of the pool. Everyone looked at him and understood that this soldier has fallen.

Although this was also Toru's little experiment to test Shigan. He wanted to see if he could see lines through objects, but it didn't seem to work, in the end he gave up and decided he would continue experimenting upon returning to Konoha.

"Hm, none of you know. Akamaru, go to the women's restroom, come back alive and tell me what you saw."

Looking at his canine friend, Kiba gave a thumbs up with a smile. After that, Akamaru walked out of the bathroom, only to return seconds later as if nothing had happened.

Everyone gathered around Kiba to hear what Akamaru had seen, except for Shikamaru, Toru and Shino. Chouji on the other hand was just eating quietly.

"Hm... that's good, were you able to see that too? You surprise me buddy."

With a small laugh, Kiba was satisfied with what he heard, however, Naruto didn't understand anything Akamaru said. So he decided to do things his way.

(Damn, I already look like Ero-sennin, but I could improve my most powerful jutsu if I see this).

Taking a kunai from his clothes, Naruto approached the wooden wall and started to make a small hole, but at that moment, everyone felt a chill, as the wall started to squeak strangely.

It was as if death embraced them all for staying in that place.

*Boom!

The wall fell. At that moment, it was as if the world was in slow motion, Naruto saw his life flash before his eyes.

This was sad, as all he could see when the wall fell, was Enko with a towel covering her completely, and a small bear that was sharpening its claws on the ground.

Seeing this, Naruto looked back, but there was no one there.

"Damn traitors!"

After that, the body of a twelve-year-old boy floated in the water, staining everything with blood.

"He's an idiot, how dare he see me?"

Clenching her fists, Enko was embarrassed.

"Is no one there anymore?"

Appearing to the side of the broken wall, was Ino completely naked. Her skin was beautifully manicured, as it was white and glowing due to the moisture from the hot springs.

Until now it had been hiding because they heard someone scraping the wall, so they quickly deduced that it was a pervert. This prompted Enko to summon Kumagoro.

When the wall fell, they all saw that it was only Naruto, after that a murder took place.

"Looks like it was just, Naruto-kun..."

With a worried face, Hinata hid behind Ino, she was afraid of being seen naked. Although she was the one with the biggest breasts of all the girls there, plus her nipples were slightly pink and small. Something different compared to Hanabi, who is the younger sister, so right now she is flat.

Hakuto also came out from her hiding place, she was flat, flatter than Hanabi, but her hips were a little wider than Ino's.

"We should call the mistress of this place..."

Looking at the girls, Hakuto nodded his head as he walked out of the place, the others followed suit.

At the same time, he hid like a predator in the depths of the water, his shining silver eyes could be seen.

(Hm... Hinata's are bigger when she is not wearing clothes).

Nodding in approval, Toru left the place, leaving no trace behind. This boy had successfully accomplished this mission and was going to keep this souvenir for himself. It was a pity that Naruto hadn't been able to discover anything, but it was a noble sacrifice. Toru decided that he would treat Naruto to a bowl of ramen upon his return to Konoha.

-Somewhere-

Putting on the Kazekage's hat, the man smirked as he looked at his henchmen in front of him.

Dressed in the same style of clothing, the henchmen nodded in approval.

There were only three days left before the real party would begin.

"See you soon, Sarutobi Hiruzen."

Putting on a new face, the man smiled once more as he let out his malevolent snake laugh.
