Chapter 21

The soft light of morning seeped through the curtains, stirring me from sleep. I blinked, my eyes adjusting to the gentle glow. The quiet hum of the morning air and the distant sound of birds chirping greeted me.

I stood up from the bed, my senses immediately alert. A familiar scent wafted through the air, drawing me towards the kitchen. As I rounded the corner, I found Kushina making breakfast, her movements graceful and methodical.

"Good morning, Naruto," she said, glancing over her shoulder with a gentle smile. She wore a green apron over an oversized shirt, the fabric slipping down to reveal her smooth shoulders and a generous view of her cleavage. The apron hugged her large bust, accentuating her curves.

"Good morning, Mom," I replied, remembering the events of the previous night. My heart ached with conflicting emotions, but duty called.

"Wait just a few minutes; breakfast will be ready," she said in a sweet voice, her fingers deftly chopping vegetables. The oversized shirt shifted slightly, giving me another glimpse of her creamy skin.

I nodded and took a seat at the table, watching her work. Her hips swayed gently as she moved around the kitchen, her breasts jiggling with each step. The sight was both comforting and unsettling, given our new dynamic.

After a while, she served the breakfast on the table. It was steaming miso soup with fresh vegetables and grilled fish, a traditional dish that brought back memories of simpler times. She sat across from me, her eyes filled with anticipation.

I picked up my chopsticks and took a bite. The flavors exploded in my mouth, warm and satisfying. "It's delicious, Mom," I said, looking up to see her beaming with pride.

"Really?!" she asked, her voice tinged with happiness.

We ate in silence for a moment, the only sounds the clinking of dishes and the occasional sigh of contentment. After finishing, I looked at her seriously. "Mom, I have a task for you."

Her expression shifted instantly, becoming focused and determined. "What is it?"

"I need you to go and find this person," I said, handing her a photograph. "If she's alive, bring her to me. If not, bring her body."

Kushina studied the photo intently before nodding. "Understood. I'll leave immediately."

Just as she turned to depart, I reached out and grabbed her hand. "Before you go..." I leaned forward, our faces inches apart. Her breath hitched, and she met my gaze, understanding my intent.

Our lips met in a passionate kiss, tongues intertwining as if seeking solace in each other. The world around us faded away, leaving only the two of us. When we finally parted, a string of saliva connected our lips briefly before breaking.

Her face was flushed, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears. "Take care, Mom," I murmured, placing my hand on her cheek.

"You too, my son," she whispered, smiling through her emotion. "I'll be back quickly." With that, she vanished into the shadows.

I could tell by the look in her eyes that she still felt conflicted about our relationship, but I knew it would change soon.

.....

I walked through the bustling streets of Konoha, As I wandered aimlessly, I soon caught the soothing scent of flowers. Following the smell, I arrived in front of a flower shop with a sign that read "Yamanaka Flowers."Smiling to myself, I entered the shop

Inside, the air was thick with the heady fragrance of blooms. Ino Yamanaka, now a mature and alluring woman, was arranging vases with expert precision. Her platinum-blonde hair flowed like liquid silver, tied into a high ponytail that framed her face. A revealing sleeveless purple top showcased her curvaceous figure, the neckline dipping low enough to hint at her ample bosom. Matching purple skirt, fishnet stockings, and confident posture completed her seductive yet assertive look.

She felt my presence and turned, the moment she turned her blue eyes widened in surprise. For a moment, she froze, her face flushing crimson. I waved a hand in front of her, breaking the spell.

"Hello?" I asked, concerned.

"YESSS!!!" she shouted, then immediately covered her mouth, embarrassed. "Hello! Welcome to Yamanaka Flowers." Her voice was shaky, her eyes darting around nervously.

"Do you not recognize me, Ino? It's me," I said, pointing at myself.

She stared at me intently, bending slightly to get a better look. The movement caused her breasts to shift enticingly within the confines of her top. Realization dawned on her face.

"Those whiskers... could it be Naruto!?" she exclaimed, pointing at me with a trembling finger.

"Yep, you guessed it correctly," I said with a grin.

"Oh man, I didn't recognize you at all. You've changed so much, especially that face and body," she mumbled, blushing furiously.

Calming herself, she asked, "So, what brings you here? Are you here to buy some flowers? If so, I can suggest some great ones." Her tone had a flirtatious edge, her eyes twinkling mischievously.

I wasn't here for flowers, but I nodded anyway. "Sure, why not? Show me what you have."

She led me through the shop, her hips swaying with each step. We stopped in front of a display of vibrant roses. "These are beautiful, don't you think?" she said, picking one up and twirling it between her fingers.

"Yes, they are," I agreed, admiring the deep red petals. "I'll take a bouquet of these."

Ino carefully arranged the flowers, wrapping them elegantly before handing them to me. I stored them in my spatial pocket, causing her to raise an eyebrow in curiosity but say nothing.

As I left the shop, Ino waved goodbye, her eyes lingering on me longer than necessary.

As I was making my way to my destination suddenly, I heard a familiar voice call out to me from behind.

"Naruto! Is that really you?" The unmistakable voice belonged to Kiba.

I turned around and saw Kiba Inuzuka approaching with Akamaru beside him, wagging his tail as always. Kiba looked as brash and energetic as ever, his spiky brown hair falling into place with a wild yet deliberate charm. He wore his signature hooded jacket and seemed surprised to see me.

Behind him, Shino Aburame stood with his usual composed expression. His eyes were hidden behind his signature sunglasses, and his coat, buttoned up to his chin, maintained his mysterious air. He offered a small nod of acknowledgment, keeping his hands in his pockets.

"Yo, Kiba! Shino!" I greeted with a grin, throwing a casual wave their way.

"Man, you've changed, Naruto!" Kiba exclaimed, stopping in front of me. He looked me up and down, clearly taken aback by my new appearance. His eyes trailed over my now taller frame and broader shoulders. "I mean, you were always short and loud, but now you look... uh, different."

Shino, as usual, was less expressive. "It appears the time away has been beneficial. You've grown."

Before I could respond, I caught sight of someone else out of the corner of my eye. Hinata's long silky black hair framed her delicate face, highlighting her pale, flawless skin and soft lavender eyes. She wore a tight black bodysuiythat hugged her curvaceous figure, accentuating her big boobs and full hips. A light grey robe, left fopen just above her chest, contrasted the sleek outfit, revealing the bodysuit beneath. The outfit clung to her voluptuous body, emphasizing her curves, while her kunoichi sandals completed the seductive yet elegant look.

The moment our eyes met, her cheeks flushed a deep crimson, and she immediately looked away, fidgeting nervously.

Kiba, noticing this, chuckled under his breath. "Looks like some things haven't changed, huh, Hinata?" he teased, earning a sideways glance from Shino, who remained silent but observant as always.

Before Hinata could respond, Kiba slapped my shoulder. "Anyway, we've got to head out. Mission's calling. Don't go causing too much trouble now that you're back." He grinned, giving a thumbs up as he and Shino started to walk away.

Shino added, "Good to see you again, Naruto," with a calm nod before following Kiba.

"Yeah, good to see you guys too!" I called after them, waving as they disappeared into the crowd.

Once they were gone, I turned my attention back to Hinata. Her face was still flushed, and she seemed to be having difficulty meeting my eyes.

I walked toward her with a soft smile. "Hinata, hey!"

"N-Naruto-kun…" she whispered, barely able to get the words out.

Just as I reached her, her legs wobbled, and before I could say anything else, her entire face flushed bright red, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted, collapsing to the ground.

"Hinata!" I caught her just in time, her light body falling into my arms. I felt the warmth of her skin as her soft face pressed against my chest. Her breathing was shallow but steady.

Looking around, I spotted a shaded area under a large tree nearby. Gently lifting her, I carried her over and sat beneath the tree, laying her down carefully so her head rested on my lap.

Hinata's POV

Everything was fuzzy at first. I couldn't understand where I was or what had happened. All I knew was that I felt warm… secure. It was comforting. Slowly, I blinked my eyes open, the sunlight filtering through the leaves above casting dappled shadows across the ground. But that wasn't the only thing I noticed.

W-what is…? I thought, my body tensing when I felt something soft and warm beneath my head. It took me a moment to realize it wasn't the ground—it was... someone. I froze as the sensation of soft fabric, the heat of another person's body, and the gentle rhythm of breathing reached me. My eyes darted upward in panic, only to lock onto the familiar figure leaning over me.

"N-Naruto-kun…?"

His face hovered just above mine, his blue eyes filled with concern, and that same smile that always made my heart race was now directed at me. I blinked rapidly, my heart pounding so loudly I feared he could hear it.

"Y-you fainted," he said softly, his voice calm yet holding a teasing edge. "I thought I'd let you rest for a bit."

Fainted? I… fainted? My mind raced. Oh no! My face burned with embarrassment as the realization hit me like a ton of bricks. I tried to speak, but my voice refused to cooperate, coming out as little more than a shaky whisper.

"I-I'm s-sorry…" I stuttered, my voice so quiet it was barely audible, but somehow, Naruto heard me.

"Don't worry about it, Hinata," he said with a light chuckle. "Just take it easy."

I could barely stand it. He was so close… so much closer than I had ever imagined him being. I could feel the heat of his body, smell the faint scent of his skin. And—oh, Kami—he looked even more handsome than I remembered. He had always been attractive to me, but now… now he was… breathtaking. His features were sharper, more mature, but that mischievous warmth in his eyes was still there. His voice had deepened, and I couldn't help but shiver as he spoke.

What do I do? What do I say? I can't… I can't speak.

Suddenly, I felt his hand move. My breath caught in my throat as he reached down, his fingers gently brushing against my face. I felt a jolt of electricity course through me as his fingertips grazed my skin, tucking a loose strand of my hair behind my ear.

"Your hair was in your face," he murmured.

My heart pounded even harder, my body stiffening at the tender gesture. His touch lingered for just a moment, but it was enough to send me into a complete spiral of emotion. My entire face felt like it was on fire. I could barely breathe, let alone speak.

"I-I-I'm s-sorry… I didn't mean to f-faint…" I mumbled, my voice barely above a whisper, feeling so small beneath his gaze.

"Hey, don't apologize, Hinata," he reassured me, his voice calm. "It's fine."

But it wasn't fine. I was mortified. Here I was, lying in Naruto-kun's lap, of all places! My head spinning from the closeness of him, from his touch. I couldn't stop my body from trembling slightly, and I prayed he wouldn't notice how flustered I was.

I stole a glance up at him through my lashes, my heart fluttering. He looked so kind and concerned, but at the same time, my mind couldn't stop focusing on how strong and handsome he had become. His features were even more defined than before, his blue eyes more intense, his body more muscular. He had grown in every sense, and I couldn't help but feel my admiration for him growing even stronger.

Naruto's POV

I noticed Hinata trembling slightly as she lay there, her face bright red, her breathing shallow. I could hear her heart beating faster than usual, but she was doing her best to hide it. She tried to speak again, her voice barely audible, but thanks to my enhanced senses, I could hear every word.

"I-I'm s-so s-sorry, Naruto-kun... I d-didn't mean to be a b-bother..." she stammered, her hands fidgeting nervously in her lap.

I couldn't help but chuckle softly. "Hinata, you're never a bother."

Her eyes widened slightly at my words, and I could tell she was doing everything in her power to calm herself down. She was so shy, so easily flustered, and I found it endearing. She really hadn't changed all that much from the girl I knew from the original Naruto story, and that brought a smile to my face.
