Chapter 33: From the Sand

Chapter 33: From the Sand

In the shadowy alleyways of Konoha, Naruto Uzumaki finds himself face-to-face with a trio of figures from the Sand Village. The moonlight barely illuminates their faces.

Gaara, a young kunoichi with striking red hair and piercing green eyes, stands at the forefront. Her gaze is distant and thoughtful, a stark contrast to the dangerous aura that surrounds her. Her siblings, Kankurō and Temari, flank her on either side, their expressions equally as unreadable. Gaara steps forward, her eyes locked onto Naruto's. "You're the one they call the Jinchūriki, aren't you?" she asks, her voice cold and detached.

Naruto tenses, ready to defend himself if necessary. "I am Naruto Uzumaki. And you are?" he responds, trying to maintain a calm demeanor.

Gaara ignores his question, her gaze never leaving his face. "I've heard rumors about you. About your power. About the Nine-Tails within you," she says, her tone almost curious.

Naruto's grip on his kunai tightens. "What of it?" he asks, his voice gruff.

Gaara's lips quirk into a small smile. "I'm interested. In you. In your power. In the Nine-Tails."

"Ops, I might have spoiled the timeline," Malik says walking behind Naruto, "Well, hello there you three." As he walks up behind Naruto, Gaara and her siblings turn their attention towards him. Their expressions remain stoic, giving nothing away. Gaara's gaze lingers on him for a moment before she speaks. "And who might you be?"

Malik introduces himself, "I am Malik, a very rich man, who also sometimes makes cakes. I couldn't help but overhear your conversation."

Kankurō narrows his eyes, sizing you up. "What brings you here?" he asks, his tone guarded.

"I'm just visiting. I've heard about the great ninjas of Sand and wanted to see for myself," he replies, trying to keep his tone light and friendly.

Temari crosses her arms, studying you intently. "And what do you think so far?"

"I think there's a lot of talent here." Malik's compliment seems to disarm them slightly, their expressions softening a bit. Gaara continues to observe him, her gaze thoughtful. "Very well. Since you've shown an interest in our abilities, perhaps you'd like to see them in action?"

Naruto looks at Malik, a hint of concern in his eyes. Malik gives him a reassuring nod, signaling that he's prepared for whatever may come. "Sure, I'd love to see what you've got," Malik responds, trying to hide his nervousness.

Gaara signals to her siblings, and they each take a fighting stance. Kankurō unravels his puppet strings, while Temari readies her giant fan. Gaara forms a sand barrier around herself, her chakra visibly pulsing through the sand.

The fight begins, and Malik quickly realizes the depth of their abilities. "Not bad but I have one over you," Malik then walks up to Gara neals on one knee, and pulls out a wedding ring, "Gara of the Sand, will you make me the happiest man on . . . "Earth?". Gaara's eyes widen in surprise, and her siblings exchange puzzled glances. "What are you doing?" Gaara asks, her voice filled with confusion.

Malik grins, holding up the wedding ring between his fingers. "I'm proposing to you, Gara. Will you marry me and become my partner for life?"

The Sand siblings stare at Malik, dumbfounded by his sudden proposal. Naruto, witnessing the scene, can't help but feel a mixture of shock, confusion, and curiosity. After a moment of stunned silence, Gaara speaks up, her voice barely above a whisper. "Why would you propose to me, someone you barely know?"

Malik chuckles, "Because, Gara, I believe that love can blossom anywhere, even in the midst of battle." Malik's words hang in the air and the tension in the alleyway shifts. Gaara narrows her eyes, considering Malik's proposal. Kankurō and Temari exchange glances, still at a loss for words.

"I am not one to be swayed by such declarations," Gaara states, her voice cold and distant. "But I am intrigued by your conviction. I will consider your proposal, but I cannot make any promises."

Naruto watches as Malik bows gracefully, accepting Gaara's response. "That's all I can ask for, Gara. I will wait for your answer with bated breath."

Gaara nods, and she and her siblings resume their fighting stances. The battle continues, and Sand starts to move around Gaara, she picks Malik up by his leg and throws him over some buildings. "Naruto catch me!" Malik yells to him.

Naruto quickly moves to catch Malik, breaking his fall and preventing any injuries. As they both regain their footing, Gaara, Kankurō, and Temari approach them, their expressions still unreadable.

"Thank you, Naruto," Malik says, a relieved smile on his face. He then turns to Gaara and her siblings. "I hope that gave you a good taste of my abilities."

Gaara nods in acknowledgment, her gaze lingering on Malik for a moment before she turns to Naruto. "You have an interesting companion," she remarks, a hint of curiosity in her voice.

"That's one way to put it," Naruto replies with a chuckle. "But he does have a point about love. I've seen how it can bring people together, even in the midst of battle."

"How about I make you three breakfast in the morning before the Chūnin Exams, and show you my real abilities, My cooking!" Malik says, asking for Gaara's hand so he could kiss it. Gaara hesitates for a moment, unsure of what to make of Malik's forwardness. After a brief pause, she extends her hand, allowing Malik to gently kiss it. "Very well, Malik," she says. "We will accept your offer and meet you in the morning for breakfast. But for now, we must take our leave."

With that, Gaara and her siblings disappear into the shadows of the alleyway, leaving Malik and Naruto alone once again. Naruto raises an eyebrow at Malik, who simply grins and pats him on the shoulder.

"Come on, Naruto," Malik says. "Let's go get some rest. We have a big day ahead of us!"

Naruto nods in agreement, and the two of them make their way back to the village.

After leaving Naruto went to find Sakura. She was currently resting in her room, reading something while lying on her on her stomach. Malik could see her jiggling her booty cheeks. Malik started drooling just looking at it, He wiped his drool and realized she was talented not just as a ninja but as a healer, girlfriend, and future wife.

"Malik, you aren't sneaky and how did you get to my window?"

Malik "sneaked" into her room and while she was looking jumped on her back with his face going straight into those ass cheeks. She wasn't scared and angry but he could still see her getting pissed.

Before she could say anything he told her, "Sakura, I'm sorry, I think my greatest fear is forcing people to love me, also I have 2 ways to fly now" and immediately she perked.

In the quiet of her room, her eyes filled with concern as she noticed the serious expression on his face. "Sakura," he begins, his voice slow and low, "there's something I need to tell you."

He takes a deep breath, gathering his thoughts before continuing. "My greatest fear… is forcing people to love me," he admits, his voice filled with sincerity. "I never want anyone to feel like they're being coerced into having feelings for me. Love should be genuine, freely given and received."

His confession hangs in the air, a testament to his respect for others' emotions and his understanding of the delicate nature of love. Sakura listens, her heart aching for Malik's fear. 

"Sleep here tonight." She asked. He smirked and said, "I haven't eaten all day, how about I make some food for you, and your parents like I promised."

She seemed to be in deep thought as she giggled to herself while drooling a little.

While she was distracted he sneaked up close and got up to her face.

She smiled happily while looking at him and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Well, shouldn't I deserve a reward?" He said whispering into her ear. And she seemed to be really in deep thought over it but agreed, "Better make it quick, I'm hungry" She replied.

Malik took the chance and swiped at her lips as we started kissing deeply. Starting with her breasts he fondled them in his palm as her nipples rose and poked his hand.

He started removing her short thighs slowly while pushing up her skirt. Once her ass was freed up he pushed his dick between her naked voluptuous cheeks. Feeling the tight squeeze while my pre cum packed her crack with lube, they were still kissing deeply, her drool was leaking on her face while she wasn't able to moan.

As her back became wetter and he started sliding himself more vigorously he started touching her hairy pussy, starting with the clitoris as he traveled down to the canal and was barely able to fit more than a finger as his finger became stuck in it and she only let go once she came, his fingers slick with her juices, he pulled his hand up to their faces and they started to lick then together.

He was also reaching his breaking point and not being able to hold it anymore he got up and looked at the panting Sakura Malik went to her face and came in her open mouth. A lot of it filled her mouth some on her bed sheets and some covered half her face with her eyes.

Once he was done he just lay on the side to rest but I didn't expect that Sakura wasn't a big fan of him suddenly cumming on her face, as payback she leaned in a kissed making sure to share all of the cum that was in her mouth.

"Next time, warn me or ask!" She said after doing a few punches on his arm, he gave her ass a slap and a kiss on her lips and leaped out of the bedroom.

 Sakura watches as Malik leaps out of her bedroom, a playful smile on her face. She shakes her head, amused by his antics. As she lays back down on her bed, she can't help but feel a sense of contentment wash over her. She touches her lips, still feeling the warmth of his kiss.

Meanwhile, Malik makes his way to the kitchen, his mind still buzzing with excitement from his encounters with Sakura and the Sand Village ninjas. He begins to prepare a feast for his girl's parents, eager to show off his culinary skills.

Back in Sakura's bedroom, she drifts off to sleep, dreaming of the adventures that await her and Malik. The night is still young, and there are many more memories to be made. As Malik enters the kitchen, he takes a deep breath, savoring the familiar scent of various ingredients. He begins to gather the necessary items to prepare a meal for Sakura's parents, determined to make a lasting impression.

He starts by chopping vegetables and meats with precision, his movements swift and confident. Next, he cooks the ingredients in a large pan, ensuring each one is perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The sizzling sounds and aroma fill the kitchen, creating an inviting atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Sakura's parents enter the living room, curious about the unexpected visitor. They exchange pleasantries with Malik as he finishes preparing the meal, and soon they are all seated at the table, enjoying the delicious food he has prepared. "Do I have your permission to marry your daughter, Sakura one day in the future?" Malik asks Her parents while eating with them. Sakura's parents share a glance, taken aback by the sudden question. They had heard about Malik's antics from their daughter, and they were curious about his intentions. Her father, a distinguished "Salsman" himself, speaks up first.

"Malik, our daughter's happiness is of utmost importance to us," he says, his tone serious yet kind. "However, marriage is not a decision taken lightly. You must prove that you are worthy of her love and commitment."

Her mother nods in agreement, adding, "Sakura has a bright future ahead of her, and we want to ensure that she is with someone who will support and cherish her."

Malik, understanding their concerns, smiles warmly and responds, "I respect and appreciate your thoughts. I assure you that I have the best intentions for Sakura. I will always protect her, make her happy, and support her dreams." As Malik enjoys the meal with Sakura's parents, the conversation flows smoothly, and he can feel their skepticism gradually fading away. They seem to be warming up to him and his sincere intentions. After the dinner, Malik offers to clean up, and they graciously accept. Once everything is tidied up, He thanks Sakura's parents for their hospitality and expresses his desire to spend more time with them and Sakura in the future.

With a nod of approval from her parents, he returns to Sakura's room where she is slowly waking up. "I have food for you, my love," Malik says holding a hot plate of food. Sakura's eyes light up as she smells the delicious aroma of the food. "Oh, you're the best, Malik!" she exclaims, sitting up in her bed.

Malik grins, pleased with himself. "I try my best," he replies, placing the plate on her nightstand. As she begins to eat, he takes a seat next to her, watching her enjoy the meal. He can't help but feel a sense of warmth in his heart as he sees her happy and satisfied.

After finishing her food, Sakura sets the plate aside and turns to face Malik. "Thank you for the meal," she says, her voice sincere. "And thank you for opening up to me earlier. It means a lot to me that you trust me enough to share your fears."

Malik nods, appreciative of her understanding. "So do you have any sexy pajamas I can watch you put on or do you just want to go to bed?" He asks her leaning his head on her lap. Sakura chuckles at Malik's question, gently running her fingers through his hair. "Well, I do have some cute pajamas, but I think I'll just go to bed for now. It's been a long day, and I need my rest."

Malik nods, understanding her need for rest. He gets up from her lap and starts to make his way towards the window. "Alright, I'll let you sleep, Sakura."

She smiles at him, her eyes filled with warmth. "I thought I told you to sleep here tonight, don't make me say it again!"

As Malik tries to step out of the window, she takes one step grabbing him and pulling him inside. "I find your super strength terrifying and sexy," Malik says while being carried to the bed. Sakura lays Malik down on the bed and smiles at him. "I'm glad you think so," she says, her voice filled with amusement. She then gets changed into her pajamas while Malik watches, his eyes never leaving her. Once she's done, she climbs into bed next to him, and they spoon, feeling the warmth of each other's bodies.

Sakura's breathing slows down as she falls asleep, her body relaxed and at ease. Malik, too, drifts off to sleep, his mind filled with thoughts of the day's events and the people he has met. He thinks about Gaara, Kankurō, and Temari, wondering what their lives are like in the Sand Village. He also thinks about Orochimaru and Kabuto.
