Nindō 0057: Morning

"I've stabilized his condition, but I don't know when he is going to wake up. Have some of your people keeping an eye on him at all times, okay?" Naruto told Sai, pulling his palms away from Kankuro.

"I shall let you know as soon as he wakes up. In the meantime, I will work to set up a meeting with you and the Anbu Commander of Suna," Sai told Naruto.

"You got a free room here?"

"We do, but …" Sai hesitated for a bit, "We were only able to free up a single room, the others are all occupied by more of our injured Anbu-nin. We expected that Miss Temari would be able to stay with her brother, and you would be given the room."

"It's no big deal," Naruto's clone said, suppressing his internal complaint. "I'm just a clone anyway. I can't sleep even if I wanted to."

Sai's brow was raised at Naruto's words, his mind wandering momentarily to the logistical complications of keeping a shadow clone active for such a long duration, "May I ask what happened to Miss Temari?" He asked. "Was she hurt?"

"We ran into Urashiki Ōtsutsuki," Naruto said. "He's roaming around all sorts of places trying to gather chakra. With the tailed beasts all gone, his job has become infinitely more difficult. He sucked away all of Temari's chakra, leaving her in a critical state."

"Will she be fine?" Sai asked. "Chakra deprivation of such extent can, more often than not, lead to a prolonged coma like the one the Kazekage is under."

"It's nothing that bad," Naruto said. "She will need a couple of days to completely recover, but everything else is perfectly fine. I made sure that the deprivation didn't impact her spirituality."

"Understood," Sai said as a knock came from the door. "He shall lead you to the room, Hokage-sama. I will send someone to call on you when I have any further news."

"Good." Naruto nodded, departing the room alongside Sai.

Soon enough, Naruto was left alone in the simple room with a somewhat small bed and a chair for one to sit on. He loosened the chakra strings that were wrapped around Temari, who was still deeply asleep, as her body started slackening. He held her thighs and dispelled the strings in such a way that she gently fell down on the bed, not disturbing her sleep.

Naruto stepped forward and pulled her legs up on the bed before bringing down her blue yukata that had been pulled up a lot due to their previous position. Adjusting the woman somewhat to make sure she would be comfortable, he sighed and took a seat on the chair.

Making a hand seal, he created a clone that popped into existence right beside him. "Can you relay my information to the original? I'm going to rest for a while." The clone that had just popped into existence was dispelled, sending all of his memories to the original.

…

Naruto and Hinata spent the entire night entangled in a passionate embrace as Naruto performed some more, milder experiments using the Truth-Seeking Balls with her. Fashioning them into restraints, different toys, and more. The ability was very malleable, and Naruto was able to form all sorts of things with it.

After the first time using the ability to filter his chakra into Hinata's body, Naruto tried it a few more times with a much lower concentration so that his wife would at least stay conscious under the pleasure. He was able to deduce that he could focus on what aspect of hers he wanted to enhance when he filtered his chakra through the Truth-Seeking Orbs into Hinata.

Unlike what would happen when he gave her his chakra, providing her with a general, overall enhancement to her physique, spirituality, and chakra capacity, Naruto could focus the enhancement on a singular aspect if he wanted.

Naruto felt that he now had a slight inkling of how the Sage of Six Paths was able to make his chakra into such a powerful enhancement drug. Sadly, he was unable to explore too many things in a single night, but he had plenty of time and passion to use his wife as the perfect pleasure-induced test subject to check if he could duplicate the enhancement technique of the Sage of Six Paths.

By the time the sun rose, the two were still going on, but Hinata was pretty much completely tuckered out, only barely able to keep up with him. As he finished deep inside Hinata, the gentle housewife let out a loud, depraved moan, finishing with a climax of her own. She was panting tiredly, drifting in and out of consciousness as Naruto kissed her lips lovingly, "I'll take care of the kids' breakfast and drop Hima off at the Academy. You can sleep in today."

Hinata smiled lovingly as her eyes dropped, her head turning to the side as she lost consciousness completely. Naruto cleaned up the bed from their fluids and tucked his tired and naked wife in with a freshly cleaned blanket.

He moved to the bathroom to take a shower before wearing his usual uniform with orange trousers alongside his black jacket that he zipped up. Grabbing his headband, he walked to Himawari's bedroom to wake her up.

"Wakey wakey, Hima-chan~" Naruto came up to his daughter and combed her hair gently. "It's time to get ready for the academy."

"A bit longer~" The girl mumbled in her sleep and turned away from Naruto's hand, continuing to calmly snore.

"Come on, get up, you'll be late otherwise. And then your Tou-chan will also be late. You don't want that, do you?" Naruto asked, continuing to gently caress her hair.

Himawari let out a tired whine, pouting, "I'm up, I'm up …" She said tiredly before stretching and yawning.

"That's my good girl," Naruto kissed his daughter's forehead, "Now get up and wake your brother up as well. I'm going to go down to start making breakfast. I want you both to get ready and come down in thirty minutes, understood?"

"Mm-hm," Himawari nodded tiredly, wiping her eyes as she sat up.

"Good," Naruto smiled, unable to resist the urge to kiss his daughter's forehead once again as she giggled and pushed him away.

After waking Himawari up, Naruto walked downstairs to the kitchen with a huge dilemma troubling him, 'What do I cook for them?'

It took Naruto a good ten minutes to decide that pancakes would be a nice option. Before starting, he narrowed his eyes, 'I haven't heard anything since Himawari went to Boruto's room to wake him up …'

He went back up the stairs and saw Himawari's door open, the girl nowhere to be seen. Since Himawari's room was empty, he went into Boruto's room to check what was going on with his children. He couldn't help but sigh as he entered the room, seeing Himawari sleeping beside Boruto, she had pulled away his pillow and was using it for herself after pushing her brother away, making the kid hang halfway from the side of the bed.

Naruto shook his head, seeing both his lazy children unwilling to wake up.

"Wake up, kids, you'll be late …" Naruto took a good five minutes to wake both his children up, Boruto being the more troublesome one since he was the reason Himawari gave up on her task and instead went to sleep herself.

Once they were finally awake, Naruto was able to focus on making breakfast.

"Tou-chan, you're the one making us breakfast today?" Himawari asked after coming down after dressing up.

"I am, honey," Naruto nodded. "Can you help me set up the plates for the three of us? Your Kaa-chan is tired and needs to rest. I'll help you with your hair while you eat food."

"Okay," She pattered over to the kitchen, "Pancakes?" She asked after smelling the familiar smell.

"Yes," Naruto nodded. "Did you want something else?"

"No, I love pancakes," She said, grabbing three plates along with syrup.

"Old man, you're the one cooking?" Boruto also came down, asking hesitantly.

"Yeah, take a seat with Hima. I'll be right out."

Boruto leaned over to Himawari, "Do you have any snacks stashed? What if he burns down the kitchen?"

"Tou-chan has never cooked for us before …" Himawari said thoughtfully.

"Exactly," Boruto said. "We might need to go out hungry today …"

"I can hear you two, you know that, right?" Naruto laughed from the kitchen, making Boruto apologize loudly, only making him laugh harder. He didn't say anything in response and came out with a plate stacked with pancakes, "Dig in."

Boruto and Himawari shared a look before gulping audibly, making Naruto's brow twitch. Still, they seemed to decide to take the leap of faith in their father, taking a single pancake each and dropping syrup on it.

"It's soft …" Himawari said as Naruto moved behind her.

"Stop trying to stall. It's perfectly edible. Do you think I would give my own children bad food?" Naruto shook his head, moving behind Himawari. "Turn your head a little, Hima." The girl followed as Naruto started brushing her short hair.
