Serenity
"I never thought you'd be so playful~" Biting the corner of her lips while gently stroking Naruto's long hair, Tsunami whispered to him with some concern "But what if my father arrives with your friends?"
"Isn't it simple?" Looking up with a bright smile, Naruto replied "You just have to avoid making noise~"
Licking her lips as the mere thought of having sex while the others are in the house makes her insides twist, Tsunami asked "Don't you have to leave early?"
"Unfortunately so" Sighing bitterly, Naruto gently kissed Tsunami's slender neck and whispered "You don't know how much I regret that this didn't start sooner..."
"So small and so greedy" Chuckling softly as the tickle on her neck makes her breath hitch, Tsunami whispered "You know you'll always be welcome in my home, don't you?"
"Careful what you say, I really may come back in the future" Raising his eyebrows, Naruto looked up and continued "And when that happens, who knows when I'll be gone."
"As long as you know how to keep your landlady satisfied, I doubt there will be any problems~"
"What happened to that serious and strict mother?"
"You're still seeing her" Leaning in slightly, Tsunami gently kissed Naruto's forehead and smiled "But a mother is also a woman, and a woman also has her needs~"
"I feel like you've opened up a new world in my life..." Chuckling while shaking his head, Naruto gently let himself fall onto Tsunami's chest and wrapped his slender body tightly in his arms "I've never felt so...loved."
With a soft smile lighting up her face, Tsunami lovingly brought her hands to Naruto's face, gently caressing his cheeks as she whispered "I'm not kidding when I tell you that you'll always be welcome here.... I know you have your own path and your own battles to face, so I won't be selfish in trying to hold you back... But if you ever feel drained or need a refuge, remember that my door will always be open to you.... Do you understand?"
Naruto, looking up to meet Tsunami's warm expression, blinked dazedly for a moment before lowering his gaze, muttering almost in a barely audible whisper "I really don't know what you see in me to appreciate me so much..."
"Even that I find charming about you~" With an amused smile Tsunami gently squeezed Naruto's cheek and continued "You're full of exceptional qualities that would captivate anyone, but you don't even realize it."
"What qualities?"
"You have unwavering willpower, you show consideration for even the most disadvantaged, you are always looking out for those around you and offer help without expecting anything in return, you are gentle with children and, despite the challenges you face, here you are, finding happiness in the little things in life on this secluded island, with a radiant smile on your face just for such common things as a hot dish or watching the sunset. .. honestly, even though you are one of those ruthless ninjas, I just see nothing but kindness in your heart, and that really makes me weak."
"I'm not as good as you think..." With a bitter smile, Naruto shook his head and muttered.
"Sure, sure, whatever you say~" Rolling her eyes, Tsunami gently shifted her hip and whispered "How about we save the small talk for another time and have some fun~?"
"Sounds like an awesome idea."
"If my father comes and for some reason they ask about you, what do I tell them?"
"I'll make a clone of you if that happens and make up some story, in the meantime let's just worry about being quiet."
"The way you talk, no one would think you were shaking from nervousness a moment ago~"
"You already made me understand how welcome I am" Chuckling as he stood up, Naruto firmly held Tsunami's waist and stared at her warm face, then slowly pulled back his hips and walked back inside....
Pa
"Mmnh~"
"Shhh~"

"Damn, where did this idiot go!?" Stomping hard on the ground in frustration, Sakura folded her arms and looked around in annoyance "That fool knew we had to leave first thing in the morning and he's nowhere to be found!"
"Tsunami-san told us she saw him leave through the forest, so he must be around here somewhere" Looking around with the sharingan active, Sasuke frowned slightly and muttered "Couldn't something have happened to him?"
"What could have happened to him?" snorting as they continue walking, Sakura continued "You know he's as tough as a cockroach, surely he must be out training or fooling around somewhere."
"I saw him" With a calmer face and his gaze roaming the lush forest, Sasuke murmured as he walked along with Sakura. After a few seconds, they reached a small flat area where they spotted Naruto, sitting on the edge of a towering cliff, gazing at the sunrise with a palpable serenity on his face.
Sakura stopped dead in her tracks, blinking in surprise as she observed the young man sitting across from them "Is that.... Naruto?"
Bare-chested and with his lower body covered by his yukata, Naruto gazed at the beautiful spectacle of the sunrise with a serene smile on his lips and a gaze with a depth never seen before, while his long crimson hair, damp from his cleansing bath, swayed gently to the beat of the wind around him.
How could she not be surprised?
For the first time in her entire life, Sakura saw nothing but maturity in the young man in front of her, while even her heart was startled for a moment.
'No, no, no, no, no, no, stop!' Shaking her head quickly as she pulls her hands to her chest, Sakura screamed inside her mind 'It's Naruto, the annoying, dumb idiot who never leaves me alone!'
Ignoring Sakura's daze, Sasuke arrived next to Naruto and turned his gaze towards the sunrise, then sat down next to him and asked "Did you get drunk?"
"No" Having sensed them earlier, Naruto didn't bother to look at them and continued to watch the unstoppable tide being illuminated by the sun.
"You didn't come in last night."
"The stars are beautiful."
"We were looking for you all morning"
'I know, that's why I had to flee the room and take a shower in the river' Remembering the sweetness of carnal pleasure, Naruto shivered slightly and chuckled gleefully, then turning to Sasuke and giving him a thumbs up as he exclaimed "Life is good, dattebayo!"
Raising his eyebrows, Sasuke shook his head and asked with a slight smile "What's got you in a good mood? I haven't seen you like this for a few months now."
"For a moment I thought that everything in this life was nothing but sadness and suffering, that's why I was striving for happiness" Lifting his eyes to the blue sky, Naruto laughed again and plopped down on the grass "But who knew I'd get to feel it so quickly? Surely happiness is unbelievable."
"Happiness?"
"Sigh It's a pity you don't understand, little Sasuke" Shaking his head, Naruto continued "But your time will come."
With a vein bulging in his forehead, Sasuke snorted as he thought 'Whenever this idiot is happy, it makes me want to punch him'
"Sniff" Inhaling deeply the refreshing scent of the forest and sea, Naruto brought his hands to his hair and sighed in frustration "I don't want to leave..."
"Kakashi-sensei specifically told us that we have to leave first thing" Arriving next to Naruto with a slightly flushed face, Sakura sat down next to Sasuke and continued "We can't delay any longer"
"Tsk" Clicking his tongue, Naruto plucked a handful of grass from his side and threw it towards Sakura "Spoilsport."
With eyebrows quivering as she brushes the grass out of her hair, Sakura asked "Are you sure you're not drunk?"
"Drunk with happiness and freedom!" jumping up, Naruto stretched his body and groaned with satisfaction, then turned to the duo and folded his arms "When are you planning to get up? Don't be lazy, let's go, don't forget what sensei said!"
"..."
"..."
With quivering eyebrows as the annoyance on their faces was obvious, the duo watched Naruto's back walk away as he whistled cheerfully.
"What the hell is wrong with that idiot?" shaking her head as she stands up, Sakura muttered "Suddenly he reminds me of how he used to be."
"He's like that when he's happy" Getting up, Sasuke dusted off his clothes and continued "If you hear a 'dattebayo', it means this idiot is in a good mood, and if this idiot is in a good mood, it means he's back to being the annoying idiot at the academy."
"So... he was in a bad mood before?" remembering her usual smile, Sakura asked quizzically.
"Maybe" Shrugging his shoulders with disinterest, Sasuke put his hands in his pocket and walked quietly towards the forest as he continued "If it wasn't for how annoying he gets, I wouldn't even bother to remember. Now let's go before that idiot thinks of delaying us any further."
Arriving at the house after a few minutes, Naruto looked up to the second floor and looked at Tsunami's window, then smiled and entered the house along with Sakura and Sasuke.
"Naruto-niichan!" Running towards Naruto with a sad face, Inari held his clothes and asked with teary eyes "C-can't you stay?"
"Sigh" With a bitter sigh, Naruto bent down in front of the boy and rubbed his hair, then smiled at him and replied "I'd love to stay, but unfortunately I can't."
"Sniff"
Watching the boy endure his tears, Naruto raised his little finger and smiled warmly "Let's make a promise. You will promise me that you will protect your grandfather and mother while continuing to train hard as I taught you, and I will promise that every chance I get, I will come visit you and we will play together...how about it?"
"Sniff" Staring at Naruto with red-rimmed eyes, Inari asked in a broken voice "Y-you promise?"
"Pinky?" flexing his finger, Naruto continued "This is an unbreakable promise."
"Sniff P- pinky" Nodding as he raised his little finger, Inari intertwined his finger with Naruto and squeezed it firmly, then let go and pointed his finger at him "Y-you can't break your promise!"
"I won't!"
"Sniff W-well" Turning around, Inari quickly ran to the second floor and after a few seconds, the loud sound of the door closing echoed through the home.
"Sigh Sorry about that, not good with goodbyes" Looking towards the staircase with a sad face, Tazuna sighed.
"It's okay" Shaking his head as he stands up, Naruto looked at the old man's sickly complexion and laughed "What surprises me is that you were able to get up after all you drank."
"Don't even remind me" Rubbing his temples with an exhausted face, Tazuna sighed "Even my daughter was defeated by alcohol, sorry she couldn't come to say goodbye
"It's okay, I understand she must be exhausted" With a small smile on his face, Naruto walked to the second floor and continued "I'll go get my things ready, I'll be ready in a few minutes"
Arriving on the second floor, Naruto thought for a moment and smiled, then formed a clone and sent it to his room as he quickly made his way to the window and with great agility, hung himself and reached the open window of Tsunami's room.
Instantly sniffing the obscene scent of sex, Naruto observed the slender figure under the covers and smiled softly as he saw her exhausted face staring back at him with a soft but exhausted smile.
"I thought you'd be asleep by now" Moving closer to her, Naruto lifted the blanket and crawled into her bed, then gently wrapped her slender body in his arms and whispered to her with a smile.
"I wouldn't forgive myself for letting you go without saying goodbye" With an exhausted but satisfied body, Tsunami stretched her slender hands up to Naruto's face and gently caressed his cheeks, then leaned forward slightly and kissed his lips.
After an affectionate kiss that lasted a couple of minutes, the duo finally parted their lips and stared into each other's eyes for a long time.
"You have to go."
"I know."
"What are you waiting for?"
"I don't know"
