78: Moving Forward by Standing Still: Part V

Tsunade tried to project a feeling of calm despite how the tension filling Konoha's Clan Council room made it almost hard to breathe. She wished that she could attribute it solely to the Raikage sitting across from her, but couldn't as both Gaara and Hanare were not exactly holding back their obvious concerns about the future of the Alliance. It had been a couple of weeks since Yugito defected from Kumo, and currently all the gathered leaders of the alliance were in Konoha to discuss it. Ay's anger was easy enough to understand, and to a lesser extent Gaara's unease.

Hanare though was quite angry at the Family and felt that she should have been included in the discussion beforehand. Naruto though, hadn't exactly won her over by stating the reason that she wasn't included was because despite it affecting the Alliance, it was a decision where he felt only his lovers' voices had mattered when making it. Hanare had countered that he was making her break the oath that she had taken to be impartial. To which Naruto had quickly countered that if she truly felt that way, she had broken it the day she had taken it as she had known of the Family's existence. Not to mention how it had been their hand shaping certain events. Now that they had acted in a manner that she might not necessarily approve of, she couldn't use that knowledge to claim that they had put her in a difficult position. She had been there since day one, but beforehand they had behaved in a manner where they had her blessing so overlooked its existence. Hanare had not been pleased by Naruto's reply, but had been forced to accept the truth of his words.

Still, he had understood why she would be upset, so had asked her to just let her investigators follow the evidence and if it led to him, then he would accept the consequences of them, and claimed he had acted independently. He had seemed to gain some points with her though when he had stated that he hadn't undertaken his actions lightly, but felt his hands had been tied as he had promised to always act for the benefit of his lovers first and foremost.

Tsunade smiled at the memory and noticed her reaction to the memory caused Ay's mood to darken even more. She couldn't bring herself to care as she patted a folder lying between her and Konan. Thinking about the folder's contents, she couldn't help but feel her lover was living a charmed life at times. But, she didn't believe it a result of divine intervention, but just the byproduct of how in a world of darkness he was a brilliant shining light. After all, what the folder proved to her was that the Family's past actions were even now paying dividends.

Feeling like she was sitting at a card game where she had been dealt a royal flush she said, "I don't imagine anything will be solved by us just sitting around glowering at each other. So perhaps Lord Ay would like to tell us why you've had us gather?"

"Don't play coy with me," Ay said in a growl while sitting between Darui and Tosen, "We both know that you sent your jinchuriki to help extract ours and deliver her to Ame. You're sitting next to that terrorist all but shouts that you are working together."

Tsunade looked over at Konan and then turned back before replying, "That is because we are working together." She smiled smugly at Ay's shocked face, but clarified her position as she added, "I thought we all were working towards the same goal. But recently I've begun to questions just how committed to that goal you've been."

"This isn't about me you bit..." Ay said standing as if to lounge over the table, but he calmed as Darui placed a restraining hand on his leader's forearm. Sitting back down he continued, "I have sworn testimony from the Anbu that engaged with Yugito's ally that he looked exactly like Naruto Uzumaki."

"Yet you refuse to provide any of them today so that we could question them," Gaara said sounding neutral despite the concern he felt that the Alliance would be torn apart by Naruto's actions.

"My word isn't the one on trial here," the Raikage countered angrily.

"That remains to be seen," Tsunade replied quickly causing Ay's ire filled gaze to focus on her. "The report on the incident I was provided states this man had black hair and red eyes, but looked like Naruto otherwise. Why would he go through the effort of changing his hair and eyes, but leave his face exactly the same?"

Hanare was a little surprised by Tsunade's question so asked, "I thought you would point out that he was also on a mission in Demon country. Both, Daimyo Koyuki and Priestess Shion, state he remained nearby during the celebration being held for her visit."

Tsunade focused on the leader of the J.A.I.N. to reply, "That was what I reported in my official response when the Raikage first accused Naruto. That he continues with his accusations just highlights how he refuses to listen. Besides, it would be foolish of me to rely solely on that explanation since with both the Hiraishin and the Shadow Clone Jutsu at his disposal. Naruto could have made it appear that he was there when he really wasn't."

Hanare was obviously surprised by Tsunade admitting as much so said, "So, you can't really verify Naruto's location at that time."

"No," Tsunade replied looking a little worried, "In fact, I would imagine if Yugito truly was unhappy with Kumo's leadership and decided to defect, he would help her. I can state though that if he did help her, then it was not sanctioned by the village or the Alliance."

Both Gaara and Hanare were surprised by Tsunade basically admitting Naruto made a rather decent suspect, while also clearing the other members of the Alliance and Konoha. Ay looked like he was about to seize on it, but was stopped as Gaara asked, "Why would you take such a stance in regards to Naruto?"

"He's acted rashly and in a similar manner before. Your standing here is proof enough of that," Tsunade replied sounding rather proud. "Still, before I am willing to allow Kumo to treat him like a criminal in the matter. I want to see if they have any proof and I'm sorry to say it, but your shinobi's sworn statements that the culprit looked like him isn't enough. After all, missing from your sworn statements is your Anbu Head Captain's."

Ay didn't grimace, but a small tick appeared which Tsunade easily picked up on as a veteran poker player. She smiled smugly knowing exactly why Ay hadn't included it. But, the Raikage tried to explain it away while making a joke, "You would want me to include a testimony about how a man looks from a blind man?"

"Don't be facetious," Tsunade said showing a small hint of anger. "We both know why you wouldn't include his statement. Perhaps relating to the fact that while he is blind, he can sense a person's individual chakra signature. His testimony would be far more valuable than just a bunch of your Anbu claiming the culprit looked like Naruto. The fact that you didn't include it tells me at least that he wouldn't lie for you and thus chances are this man's chakra is not a match for Naruto's. So tell me Lord Ay, should we have him sworn in and see what he says on the matter?"

Ay looked like he wanted to attack her, but rather than comment he decided to change the topic altogether. "No, the true matter at hand is that Kumo's property has been taken and currently resides in Ame. I demand that the two-tails be handed over."

Tsunade quickly understood that Ay had hoped to bluff them, and if he succeeded would have pushed to have had Naruto handed over the same way he had attempted to force the Hyuuga. She felt her own anger grow red hot since if her lover still had his Bijuu sealed inside him, it would have required her to extract it or turn him over where they likely would have. Despite her knowing Ay genuinely cared for most of his shinobi, she did find that how he conducted himself as a human being filled her with disgust. She could see other members of the Alliance had also come to that conclusion in his regarding Yugito as little more than the container of his village's property, or at least as of now did.

As such, it wasn't surprising to her that the normally stoic Gaara had an undercurrent of anger in his voice as he said, "I thought the matter we were here to discuss was the return of Yugito Ni."

Ay likely recalled that Kazekage had also been a jinchuriki, but it didn't cause him to modify his stance as he said, "Yugito has made her decision. According to missing-nin laws having made it to Ame, she is free to join their village. But, what she isn't free to take is our property. If any of you value this alliance you will return to us the two-tails immediately or else..."

Tsunade slammed her hand down on the desk abruptly stopping the Raikage in mid-rant. She glared at him stating, "Lord Raikage, I'm not going to sit back and let you use your village's continued membership in the Alliance as a club to bully its members into giving you what you want."

"Won't allow me," The Raikage roared angrily as he stood again looking like he wanted to toss the table his group was sitting at and cross the room to attack her. Both Kankuro and Suna's Anbu Head Captain tensed as if to shield Gaara. The contingent from Grass also reacted in a similar manner. Tsunade's gaze for a moment focused on a young woman with eyes similar to the Rinnegan, who was wearing a green bandana along with the mask that covered her lower face. The Hokage's gaze didn't linger as it traveled to the current leader of the Hidden Grass Village. He was a serious looking man who went by the name of Zosui and had dark slicked back hair which displayed a prominent widow's peak. His black pupiless eyes seemed to be able to see the whole room since his gaze rarely traveled, making Tsunade feel like he was some sort of machine who was simply recording everything he saw and would play it back later to analyze his memory for weaknesses in the other leaders that he may have missed previously.

Truthfully, Tsunade was warier of him then she was of Kumo. Especially as Karin had reacted so negatively when she learned he was coming to the village. Tsunade hadn't pressed for details, but she could tell the man was responsible for some painful memories. A part of her was beginning to regret allowing the Grass Village's recent entry into the Alliance, since she had always found the majority of its shinobi to be rather slimy opportunistic individuals. She and Ay had actually argued together against allowing Grass to join, since she was confident that they only sought to ingratiate themselves with the Alliance especially because on paper, at least, it was the most powerful force of shinobi on the continent. As such, even though Grass wouldn't have the most pull within the Alliance, she imagined there were many ways it could use the group to make little side deals for itself.

Gaara and Konan however had argued for the village's inclusion. She had ended up being swayed though by Gaara's pointing out that they couldn't always wait for villages to first display the ideas that they hoped for. But, had to hope that over time the Alliance would make more and more shinobi come to realize the benefits of working together instead of against each other. She imagined it was a slight rebuke that it seemed only villages that Naruto had taken lovers in had been offered places in the Alliance.

Konan though had based her argument on the fact that currently the pact that Taki and Iwa had forged after Fu defected to Konoha was rumored to be on the verge of collapsing. The basis for the disagreement seemed to stem from Iwa turning what had been joint outposts in Waterfall's territory into forward bases. Obviously Taki was not exactly pleased by this since with more and more Iwa-nin entering its territory, it increased the chances that the secret location of its village could be exposed. In fact, Tsunade suspected the only reason Iwa hadn't just outright claimed Waterfall was because it knew it would be in for a large scale guerilla campaign. Not to mention if it couldn't deal with Taki quickly enough, the Alliance might get involved leading to a new Shinobi World War. With most of Iwa's forces likely tied up in its plots to forward the Earth Daimyo's desire for western expansion. Iwagakure couldn't afford a two front war.

The current Daimyo of Rain had argued that by including Grass in the Alliance it would put Iwa on notice, and give the Alliance a staging area in which to counter its aggression with strikes into either Taki or the Land of Earth. Konan had also made it a point to bring up that if a new war did start, that the Alliance should make it a point to try and force the war into the aggressor's territory rather than let it play out in the minor countries as had been the case for the previous wars.

Between the two leader's arguments, she had been swayed to vote for their inclusion. Yet watching the Grass Village leader now, she was beginning to regret it especially since she was sure Zosui would try to align with Ay's efforts to get Yugito back. Particularly as being owed a favor by a Kage would be a rather valuable ace in the hole to have.

With those thoughts in mind, Tsunade decided to play her own ace in the hole. Watching Darui, and Tosen both place restraining hands on their leader's shoulder to encourage him to take his seat, she said, "I would like to ask all those present, but the Kazekage, Konan, Hanare, and the Raikage to leave the room for a moment."

Ay seemed surprised by Tsunade's statement so said, "Anything you want to say, you may say in front of my subordinates."

Tsunade shrugged, before replying, "If you want them to remain present then that is your choice. But, you may come to regret it. However, I must ask that the rest of you leave."

Zosui stood and questioningly asked, "If this is a matter related to the Alliance then why am I being asked to leave?"

Tsunade focused on the man before replying, "Because the ink hasn't even dried on the treaty marking your village's entry into it."

Zosui looked as if he considered pressing, but after a moment shrugged deciding it might be a battle to have at a later date. After the room was cleared, she walked over towards the table the Grass Leader had been using and placed a privacy around it quite positive he had some means of eavesdropping. She then cast a second one which coated the room just to make sure.

Ay mockingly asked, "Are all the precautions really necessary?"

Tsunade turned to glare at the man, before replying, "Oh, go to hell!" Ay's anger spiked and she almost wished he would attack her, but again his men acted as restraints to keep him from acting rashly. She turned to return to her table stating, "Let's just get on with it."

Konan nodded as Tsunade retook the seat next to her as neither of them had attended the meeting with additional personnel having planned to confront the Raikage with the knowledge they had gained as a result of Yugito's defection. It would also be the first time that either Gaara or Hanare heard it, primarily so neither would need to fake acting surprised. Directing her focus on the Raikage she said, "After Yugito defected, she came to Amegakue seeking asylum."

Darui perhaps hoping to allow his leader more time to calm down said, "Let's not kid ourselves. She had your help, likely aided by the woman you suspiciously are sitting next too."

Konan quickly countered, "She had my blessing perhaps. But I did nothing to aid her flight from Kumo, neither did the Hokage. If you have proof to the contrary, then by all means bring it forward and we'll listen."

Ay looked like he wanted to angrily dispute her statement, but allowed his leader of Jounin operations do so in his place. Darui motioned towards the stack of statements they had provided of the Anbu squad's encounter with the man that had helped Yugito defect before replying, "That doesn't necessarily seem to be the case."

Tsunade leaned forward replying, "We gave those statements all the consideration that they deserved." Nodding her head towards Tosen she added, "In light of certain exclusions among them."

"Regardless," Konan said calmly, "That is not what we wish to discuss, but how to get past this incident."

"Simple," Darui said mirroring Konan's calm, "Return the Bijuu to us."

"That would kill Yugito," Konan replied quickly with a shake of her head, "Naturally, I'm disinclined to agree to that. However, what if we were to prevent certain embarrassing facts about her to get out?"

Darui immediately looked back towards Ay giving Tsunade the sense that he at least knew exactly what Konan was referring to. Hanare though leaned forward asking, "What facts would those be?"

Ay sat forward stating, "If you were truly meant not to spread that knowledge then perhaps you should ask everyone not privy to it to leave."

Tsunade quickly shot back, "And let you try to claim that you are the voice of reason after using the dissolution of the Alliance as a club to force me to hand over Naruto or Yugito. Not a chance. The only reason Konan or myself are willing to let the knowledge that you kidnapped her from Kirigakure remain in this room is because she was the one that suggested it."

The news had a chilling effect on the two parties unaware of the knowledge that Yugito's DNA had been found to have a familial match to a woman from Kirigakure.

"Why would you so readily share this knowledge with the Hokage?" Tosen asked ending the apparent vow of silence he had taken during the meeting.

"To validate the results that our tests pointed to," Konan said quickly. "There are few medical programs as well respected as that of the Leaf's."

Hanare quickly recovered from her shock to ask, "How can you be certain? It isn't like you would have an abundance of DNA from Kiri to compare it too. Plus, even if she did have some tie there that could have been generations ago."

Ay seemed like he wanted to jump on that train of thought, which is why Tsunade took great pleasure in derailing it by stating, "But, that becomes rather hard to believe when the Kiri sample that we compared Yugito's to confirms that they are sisters."

Konan nodded and filling in the rest of the details added, "A little over two years ago a slaver group known to operate out of the Land of Earth was destroyed. The victims of this group were found in Ame territory shortly after. That is how we gained access to the Kiri DNA. It was taken from a woman named Suiren."

Tsunade noticed a slight reaction from Tosen, mainly due to her years of looking for tells while gambling. She found it curious, particularly since both Ay and Darui reacted to the name, but they made no attempt to hide their reaction. His muted reaction in regards to his fellow Kumo-nin seemed out of place.

Gaara apparently didn't find the Raikage's reaction all that strange as he said, "You recognize the name. Is it perhaps because you had eyes on her family?"

"Is there any point in me denying it?" Ay replied finding his center like a sailor who needed to traverse a storm that suddenly appeared.

"No," Tsunade said quickly, "I can imagine why you knew of her. Much like your predecessor's attempt with Kushina Uzumak, you likely believed her unique chakra would aid in creating a perfect jinchuriki."

"We already had found a successful method thanks in part to Bee," Ay replied trying to create doubt about the validity of the evidence against him.

"Perhaps," Tsunade said quickly, "But, you couldn't be sure the method he arrived at would have been repeatable. I find it rather easy to imagine that you would wish to stack the deck in favor of creating a second perfect jinchuriki. So, you sent your men to Kiri to kidnap Yugito due to some special element contained in her chakra." Tsunade saw that Ay was going to offer a denial, but she cut him off stating, "Before you try to deny it, I had an expert in seals look at Yugito's. She said the seal you designed for her couldn't hold back a fly let alone a Bijuu. But, it was reinforced using her own chakra which strengthened it. I'm not sure if it was the same type of seal used for the one containing the Eight-Tails, but a faulty design might explain all those famous rampages that we've heard about over the years."

Ay's gaze darkened letting her know she struck a nerve, but he remained calm unlike before letting her know he was on the defensive, and knew he couldn't bluster or bully his way out. Looking towards Gaara and Hanare, he said, "I don't deny that we used Yugito's chakra to support the seal. Yet, that doesn't necessarily indicate her place of origin."

"What do you mean?" Hanare said not sure where the Raikage was going with his statement.

"I mean that there might be another reason for Konan to work so closely with the Hokage in this matter." Ay gave a smug smile as he added, "Without a current sample anything you bring forward can be pure hogwash. I mean she said it herself, the Leaf's medical knowledge is leaps and bounds above everyone else's. So perhaps she didn't so much as confirm what Konan's village supposedly found, but created the evidence. Why else not simply bring the matter to the Mizukage? It might even lead to Kirigakure becoming open to joining the Alliance."

Tsunade saw that Ay's attempt to create suspicion in the evidence had partially succeeded as Hanare looked as if she was giving the matter serious thought. Yet, to her surprise it appeared Gaara wasn't having any of it as he said, "I find your attempt to create doubt in us rather transparent, Lord Ay."

"I'm merely pointing out the fact that there was no chain of evidence for this sample, and as such..."

"Please stop," Gaara said a soft undercurrent of anger entering his voice. He sighed tiredly in a way that Tsunade would attribute to a man that had one of his beliefs shattered. Focusing on the Raikage, he stated, "You were far more believable before when you were angrily accusing the Leaf of having a hand in Yugito's defection. Your attempt to exclude certain evidence notwithstanding. I could believe Naruto had a hand in it especially as the Hokage pointed out he isn't one to let politics stand in the way of the happiness and wellbeing for those he cares for. It is highly likely during Yugito's incarceration she and him became friends and she might have reached out to him for help. If she did, he would give it. Of that I am certain."

Darui leaned forward and angrily replied, "If he had the means and the motive then why are we the ones on trial?"

Gaara focused his gaze on the Jounin before answering, "Because I now feel it is better for the Shinobi Word as a whole that she is out of your hands. I believe in what this Alliance stands for, but I see now that the Leadership of Kumo only views it as a means of gaining an advantage. Once that advantage is gone, you'll quickly abandon it. Made all the more apparent by your attempt to cast accusations at the Hokage when she is giving you a chance to save face for the good of the Alliance."

"By forcing us to give up one of our weapons on nothing but circumstantial evidence," Darui said quickly. "If it was so strong she would go to Kiri with it."

Gaara shook his head disappointedly as he replied, "You really don't see it. If Konan and the Hokage did that then it would only create a dire situation for Kumo. I doubt you've shared Yugito's true origins with many people, so it is safe to assume most are ignorant of the truth. But, they would suffer all the same if Kiri decided to take issue with your actions, and that is what they are hoping to avoid."

Konan inclined her head at the Kazekage's point, but added, "Plus there are Yugito's feelings to consider. She doesn't wish to be used as a pawn or an excuse for hostilities to break out. For that reason, she is also hesitant to reach out to her just discovered family. I guess she fears she would be welcomed in Kiri, only to find they are using her for the same reason you valued her. That is why she has agreed not to take issue with your kidnapping her, provided you give up your claim on her."

"I already said I would," Ay replied annoyed, "But the Bijuu is still our property."

Tsunade scoffed as she quickly countered, "You lost your claim on it the moment that you sealed it within a person that you kidnapped. Since you want to view her as property, you can't expect us to return something that you willfully stashed in someone you stole from another village." She leaned forward as she added, "Furthermore, do not try to bluff me here. I'm willing to give you this chance to walk away for her sake. But, I'm more than willing to take all this right to the Mizukage. It would be a simple enough matter to prove then. This is your one chance to prevent this situation from spinning out of your control."

Ay met the Hokage's hard stare, but blinked first stating, "Very well. For the sake of the Alliance, we'll drop this matter. But we will not forget it."

Tsunade didn't press since they had achieved the results that they wanted. Kumo would likely remain in the Alliance now, particularly as they knew if they withdrew it was all but assured Kiri would take their place. Tsunade would admit she wasn't entirely pleased at this since Ay in a sense was using the Alliance as a shield. But, Yugito was currently okay with not pursuing her family ties particularly since doing so might put her under the control of another Kage. One that they had apparently misread once already, as made evident due to her turning the Great Tree Shipping Company's desire to make headway in the Land of Water to her advantage while also weakening everyone else's position. Yet meeting the Raikage's eyes, Tsunade had little doubt the man was going to extract a price for his dropping the matter, and she had little doubt that he knew what would be the best way to hurt those that had aligned against him.

**************************

Naruto wouldn't exactly consider himself to be overly religious, but that wasn't to say that he didn't consider himself to be blessed by a higher power. In truth, he often felt like a character from a religious parable who having navigated the difficulties of his early years was being rewarded for remaining true to his ideals. Currently, that heavenly reward had him straddling the chest of Shion as he was holding her breasts together and running his cock between them.

As was often the case when with his lovers, he had a hard time not stopping to pinch himself since the sight of the Priestess's tits wrapped around his rod, and her swallowing the tip of it every time it emerged from her warm, silken flesh pillows was one he knew other men would sell their souls to see. But add into the fact that while he was fucking her breasts, Koyuki was lying between the priestess's thighs fingering her snatch while lapping up the juices leaking from it, and even he would admit that if his Harem was compensation for his rough childhood then he was being repaid by the gods tenfold. Especially, as there were two other heavenly bodies on the bed in the form of Naruko and Fu.

Naruto looked over his shoulder to see Fu lying on her back much like Shion, except it was Naruko's face buried between her thighs. The former host of the Seven Tails sat up partially as Naruko's tongue swiped her sensitive clit, and burying a hand in the blonde woman's hair urged her to focus her attention there. Naruko apparently got the hint as Fu suddenly fell back and she arched her back to push her pussy up into his fellow sage's mouth.

Fu's face contorted into a mask of pleasure as she clutched at the comforter while she announced, "Cumming!!!"

Naruto's gaze was torn away while pushing his cock through the valley of Shion's breasts, it emerged only to sink into her waiting mouth. Her tongue quickly circled his cockhead causing him to shiver in pleasure before erupting. His first spurt of cum hit Shion's tongue causing her to moan in pleasure as she began to climax as well. Naruto was pulling back as his second spray of jizz arrived causing it to coat her face and chest as he dragged his dick back through her breasts. When it remerged from between her tits a moment later he released another spurt which hit her open mouth and chin.

His view of Shion's cum covered face was quickly blocked due to Fu having quickly recovered from her orgasm so began licking up his cum, before pulling the priestess into a wet kiss where they swapped his seed between them. Naruto removed himself from her chest allowing Koyuki to climb up her body, where she stopped to lick up the cum he had coated her breasts with.

He wasn't ignored though as Naruko pulled a moan from his throat as she wrapped her lips around his prick and began rolling her tongue around it. He sank back slightly as he placed a hand on the back of her head while it bobbed in his lap. After cleaning his dick, she looked up at him stating, "I'm surprised Sakura isn't joining us."

Naruto felt some concern about her not being there, but mainly since it might pertain to Kabuto resurfacing. Explaining as much, although it was hard to give it the proper gravity he felt it deserved due to Naruko's gentle stroking of his cock, he said, "She was called back to Konoha this morning since the publicity tour is wrapping up. A pandemic has gripped a village in the Land of Frost, and she is going to head up the team being sent to investigate it. It's believed that it might be related to Kabuto since those infected are exhibiting signs of chakra poisoning, similar to the string of them that we believe led to the creation of the Black Kyuubi."

Naruko's eyes grew wide for a moment, but rather that focus on it since it would kill the mood she simply swallowed her lover's meat sword again. He groaned in satisfaction while he leaned back on the bed to enjoy the feeling of her noisily slurping on his cock. His movement forced Fu to have to maneuver herself, but she didn't mind as she just straddled his face and let out a coo of appreciation as he began to drink of her puss. He felt movement on the bed, and then groaned into the green-haired woman's muff as Koyuki and Shion began sucking his cock as well.

As strange as it might be, Naruto tried to ignore the pleasure bathing his dick since it made it difficult to concentrate on the task of pleasuring Fu. It was a task that was nearly impossible to achieve since much like he tended to work harder when his lovers held back their moans, the three women took it as a challenge. As such, while Koyuki and Shion ran their tongues over his dick concentrating around the tip, Naruko began fondling his testicles while she licked along the base of his shaft.

Despite the pleasure bathing his dick, he tried to concentrate on pleasing Fu. He drank her essence in greedily even as his tongue prompted her pussy to release more. She moaned softly while grinding her mound into his face and placed her hands over his once he reached up to fondle her pert breasts.

She looked over her shoulder to see his dick standing proudly among the faces of the women enjoying it so announced, "Fu wants you inside her."

Naruko let one of his nuts slip from her mouth as she said, "I imagine there is a line of women here that want that."

Koyuki let his cock slip free of her lips only to be replaced by Shion as she said, "True, but I can wait as there is still a nice succulent pussy I haven't gotten to enjoy yet."

Naruko smirked as she moved closer to the Spring Country Princess to state, "And who's would that be?"

"I think you have a fairly good idea," Koyuki said before sealing her lips to the female Toad Sage's.

Still it was the actress that ended up on her back as Naruko overpowered her, and then pulling back said, "You're not the only one dying to sample some of the cooches around here." She then began kissing down Koyuki's body being sure to spend a little time to lick and suck her breasts before moving further down. The Spring country ruler moaned as Naruko first gave her pussy a soft kiss before spreading her lower lips and tonguing her more deeply.

Shion enjoyed being alone in pleasing her lover's cock, but let him slip free of her lips to focus on Fu as she said, "Although I would like a chance to have him inside me as well. What sort of Priestess would I be if I didn't let you go first?"

Fu smiled broadly before sliding down Naruto's chest, before raising up so that she could slide his manhood inside her. She let out a deep content sounding moan as he spread her insides out, and it wasn't long before she was eagerly bouncing on his cock.

Shion smirked as the female jinchuriki began teasing nipples while she energetically fucked herself on their shared lovers cock. She busied herself by licking up Naruto's chest able to taste the wetness Fu had left behind as she had moved, and then upon reaching the blond man's lips gave him a deep passionate kiss. Tasting more of the exquisite flavor that she had followed to reach his face, she was eager to receive similar attention as Fu had so raised up to keel over Naruto's face.

She didn't need to wait long as his hands quickly gripped her hips and pulled her down to meet his eager tongue. She leaned back and moaned as Naruto began lapping at her folds and it grew louder when Fu leaned forward to begin sucking on one of her nipples. She pulled the woman tighter against her chest while she squirmed against Naruto's face.

Naruto naturally felt as if he was in heaven as he drank eagerly of Shion's snatch while taking in her divine aroma. All the while his cock was buried in another slice of heaven in Fu as she had halted her wild bouncing for a more controlled pace while she lavished the Priestess's chest with attention.

Although focused on his task, he could hear the moans of Koyuki and Naruko making him guess the two women were in the midst of eating each other's muffs. He felt Fu begin to tighten around him so began focusing his oral talents to getting Shion to climax. He began focusing his tongue on her clit causing the light blonde woman's cries to raise in volume. She was soon joined by Fu as she pulled away from Shion to begin focusing on her impending release. He sucked on Shion's clit causing her to cry out in bliss before falling back to rest against the headboard of the hotel room's bed.

Freed from beneath his Priestess lover, Naruto surged forward so that he could plant Fu on her back, and then sealing his lips to hers began driving his dick inside her. He rapidly jackhammered her pussy, causing her to wrap her legs tightly around him. With her legs encircled around him, she used them to drive him deeper and harder even as she moaned, "You're making Fu feel so good. Fuck her harder!!!"

Naruto groaned as her pussy squeezed down on his pistoning length and increased the pleasure they both felt. Pushing though the stiffer resistance that he encountered proved to be enough to send him over the edge. Letting out a deep primal grunt of satisfaction, he slammed his cock into her, and then filled her with his cum. Fu stiffened beneath him as her legs tried to pull him even deeper inside her while she cried out in bliss. When she came back down to earth she loosened her grip on him allowing him to pull away.

He quickly came to miss her warmth as he sat back on his haunches, but his gaze quickly settled on Naruko as she laid on top of Koyuki. The two women had their heads buried between the other's thighs. Naruto seeing the sight felt a fresh surge of lust replace the satisfaction that he had experienced with Fu.

Creating a clone he took up a kneeling position behind Naruko while the clone moved to bury its cock into Koyuki. He gripped Naruko by the hips and groaned as he pushed forward since Koyuki ran her tongue along the underside of his cock as it began to disappear inside the blonde kunoichi. When he was completely buried in his fellow Sage, he could feel a deep sense of gratification and imagined his face mirrored the mask of pleasure that was etched on his clone's face.

He began moving give Naruko deep but slow strokes as he enjoyed the feeling of Koyuki's tongue sliding over his cock as he withdrew it and pushed forward. Soon though he was moving rather briskly so Koyuki busied herself with licking where he was connected with Naruko, while moaning sweetly due to his clone's actions.

The Spring Daimyo let out a whimper though as his clone withdrew from her cunt, and then held its cock up for Naruko. The blonde woman quickly captured it with her mouth and moaned while tasting Koyuki's cream which coated it. Naruto followed suit and pulled out of Naruko's velvet sheath. Koyuki anticipated what he wanted to do so tilted her head back allowing him to angle his cock down to enter. He let out a similar groan as his clone did while he sank into the actress's warm, wet mouth. Her tongue swirled around the head of his dick while he shallowly fucked her mouth. He withdrew after several moments and she smiled up at him before leaning up to suck on his balls.

He sighed in pleasure, before gripping Naruko again to bury his pole back inside her. She let go of the clone's dick to let out a pleased cry of joy at his reentry. His clone followed his example as it buried itself back into Koyuki which caused him to nearly lose it due to her humming as she sucked on his nutsack. She let go though, due to his clone's dick quickly striking her core as it vigorously fucked her.

Naruto reached forward and gripping Naruko's breasts pulled her up against his chest. While he squeezed and fondled them, she looked over her shoulder with a look of pure lust. A lust he was sure his gaze matched prompting him to capture her lips. Their tongues rolled about while he rolled her nipples between his fingers and his dick repeated knocked against the entrance of her womb.

He heard Koyuki cry out so looked out of the corner of his eye to see his clone had pulled the Daimyo up into his lap as he kneeled on the bed. She moaned loudly as his clone gripped her hips possessively while kissing her deeply and bouncing her on its cock. The Daimyo soon fell back on the bed though as the pleasure became too much, but still rocked her hips so she could experience more while the clone relentlessly slammed into her.

Naruto began to match his clone's intensity causing Naruko to break away and fall forward again. Her hands arrested her fall so that her face hovered over Koyuki's. She leaned forward to suck on one of Koyuki's bouncing breasts causing his clone to groan. When the Daimyo did the same Naruto reacted in a similar manner as his fellow sage's pussy squeezed down on his cock. The two women cried out similarly as their respective Naruto buried themselves inside the women they had been pleasuring and began filling them with cum.

No sooner had he finished topping off Naruko's womb then he found himself pulled away to fall flat on his back. He found the woman who had pulled him away from the nirvana that had surrounded his manhood had been Shion. Giving him a look of pure lust that seemed somewhat out of place due to her religious duties, he figured that was the reason it excited him so. Not to mention how she ran her tongue up from the base of his dick to the tip which she then wrapped her lips and then ran her tongue over. Naruto moaned in unison with his clone causing him to look over. He smirked as he saw that both Naruko and Koyuki had recovered and were taking turns sucking his its cock.

His attention was pulled back to his own situation when Shion let his dick go with a pop causing it to bounce into his stomach. She then gripped it as she straddled his hips and guided his prick inside her. They both moaned as she sank down on his pole. Shion raised up slowly until just the tip was still within her, and then just as languidly slid back down. She repeated the action over and over slowly speeding up each time causing her breasts to bounce faster and faster. Naruto let the priestess take control as Fu climbed towards him on all fours, and then pressed her lips against his. He delighted in the kiss while Shion's warmth cradled his dick.

He heard the clone groan again and then heard the poof as it dispersed. He felt his pleasure surge due to the memories of his clone losing control and filling Koyuki's mouth with its jizz. The last sight it saw was of her pulling Naruko into a kiss and sharing its seed between them. He tried to block the picture from his mind since it along with his clone's pleasure which he received nearly caused him to lose control. Still, Shion let out a moan as his dick grew inside her. His situation wasn't improved due to his feeling two new tongues on his body as Naruko and Koyuki each began teasing one of his nipples.

Fu pulled away and moved behind Shion as she grabbed the priestess's bouncing breasts. His fellow Jinchuriki pressed her cheek against Shion's as she began grinding pussy down into his groin. The green haired woman then lifted one of the priestess's breasts to their faces and he watched mesmerized as both of their tongues teased the hardened nub. Struck speechless by the sight as he drank in all his lovers' pleasured filled faces, Naruto knew one reason he wasn't all that religious was due to his believing no heavenly paradise could compare to the life he was enjoying. Still he muttered a quick prayer of thanks just in case and then sliding a hand over Naruko and Koyuki's backsides gave them a good squeeze.

Shion then began bouncing on his meat rod while Fu teased her breasts and it wasn't long before he was ready to fill her with his cum again as well. Leaning her head back, the blonde woman began moaning loudly as she worked her pussy over his cock to receive his offering. Her moans turned into a shout of bliss and contentment when after slamming down onto his pole her womb grew hot. The pleasure of being filled with her lover's seed was only heightened when Fu's teasing of her nipples became almost painful.

Shion leaned into Fu as she descended back from Heaven, and said, "MMmm, it's a shame this city is the last stop on your publicity tour."

Koyuki smiled as she snuggled into Naruto's side sensing he had exhausted himself, "True, but we did get to enjoy a monopoly on his time for the second half of the tour."

"I'm right here you know," Naruto said amused due to their talking about him like he wasn't aware of their presence any longer.

"Well it did look like you had died and gone to heaven," Naruko teased as she also settled against him.

Naruto chuckled accepting a soft kiss from her, before replying, "Dying would only send me back here. Hard to believe any afterlife can beat what I enjoy now."

"Fu thinks flattery like that will only make it so that you enjoy more."

"Maybe some other night," Naruto replied with a smile as Shion leaned forward to press her flesh against him. "If we keep going I might actually die and have to learn to live with disappointment." Being lulled to sleep by the warmth of his lovers which surrounded him, he wasn't too surprised his dreams only reminded him of how truly blessed he was as they focused on the women of his life as he never tired of being in their company.

**************************

Hanami Hyuuga was sitting before a small alter that she had erected within a small fishing hut located near what was thought to be the deepest salt water lake on the continent. Located in the Land of Marshes, it was hardly impressive as much of the country fit its name making it a somewhat difficult place to form settlements and navigate. Still, there were people that called it home hunting the many dangerous crocodiles and alligators that lived in the wilds. In truth, Hanami would rather be just about anywhere else, but the difficult terrain and many untouched locations made it a rather keen place to hide things people didn't want found. Which had made it a prime location for the People of Demon country to hide the demon Moryo's body after Priestess Miroku defeated him by sacrificing herself. And if Jade was correct, was now the resting place of their Holy Mother's form.

"Oh fuck," a man's voice called from the main bedroom and belonged to the owner of the hut, "you bitches are so fucking amazing. They don't have sluts like you out here."

A woman let out a cry of pleasure, while a few other softer moans from the other women entertaining him could be heard. The women were acolytes within the Descendants of the Moon and were using their bodies to pay for the hut as well as the information the man had provided them. Hanami knew the man was likely thanking his paltry gods since he had obviously been nervous when they had arrived at his doorstep and asked him to tell the fishing tale he had been spreading at the closest trader's outpost which he visited from time to time. The story although short was that while fishing on the bank one night, he had witnessed a flash of red nearby and got close enough to find what appeared to be a large three tailed shark dragging a multi-eyed demon behind it into the water. Naturally he had quickly made himself scarce figuring the shark was a demon as well. Eventually, he had begun to spread the story with most people writing it off as an old fisherman's tail and a night of too much drinking while alone. But it had reached the Cult's ears, and as such Jade had felt it worth investigating as the Land of Marshes had swallowed more than one artifact which people didn't want found.

Still, the man had been rather reticent about sharing his story with them at least until the young acolytes had begun to disrobe. Upon learning he could enjoy them to his heart's content while they conduct their search, he had quickly agreed to share both his story and his home with them. Of course, they could have used far harsher methods but Hanami preferred not to resort to bloodshed if she didn't need to, although the man's life would end when they left regardless of if they were successful or not so as not to spread any tales about them. So, she felt it best to allow him the bask in as much pleasure as possible until then.

Yet, currently Hanami's mind was focused on other matters as a small fuzzy projection emanating from a crystal and reported on recent developments among her family. "Your daughter is proving to be a rather large thorn in your husband's side."

"You'll need to be more specific," she replied keeping her dislike of the man speaking in check. After all, he had been the one that had set her upon her current path by giving her an impossible choice. Yet, despite her having come to believe in her mission to restore the Moon Goddess, she had never truly forgiven the man whom she had caught attempting to abduct her youngest daughter.

"You know of whom I speak," the man said quickly, "Hinata has become defiant to the Main House and is making her claim to the Hiashi's title. Due to the laws of succession she has forced Hiashi to bet everything on Hanabi's ability to defeat her."

"Can she?" Hanami asked with some small hint of concern threatening to enter her voice despite her having expelled her feelings for her family since joining the Descendants of the Moon. An irony that wasn't lost on her since the man speaking had used those feelings to buy her silence and agree to take Hanabi's place within the group. Still, knowing that if Hanabi failed it would lead to her being branded with the Caged Bird Seal, a fate she had also wanted to avoid for her daughter, she couldn't help wondering if she had made the correct choice.

"I don't know," the man answered after a moment's pause. "A few years ago there wouldn't have been much of a challenge, even if Hinata had learned the truth. Hiashi seemed inclined to honor your wish despite it putting him in the difficult spot of trying to keep Hinata's faith in herself rather low, while promoting Hanabi's strength to the clan. Yet now it seems to have had the opposite effect. If she succeeds in her bid, then I doubt even the elders will be able to keep her in line."

Despite the old part of Hanami taking a certain satisfaction in that, she knew if an unruly Clan Head could put some of the Favored Son's contingency plans in peril. Especially as it might mean their actions to keep the Tablet of Hyuuga out of people's hands might be rendered pointless. Yet, she doubted many in the Main Family would like such a Clan Head in power since it would shake things up and she was all too aware of how the Hyuuga hated change. Stating as much, she said, "I find it hard to imagine that Hinata would find much traction in her bid, since most of the Main Families will undoubtedly side with Hiashi's choice."

"Do not be so sure," the man replied quickly, "After the dinner where she challenged Hiashi for leadership. She asked to live among the Branch Family. The Elder of the Branch Family didn't exactly step down, but has made her his representative in Clan affairs. It is a powerful sign for many that if she succeeds, she'll have their unwavering support."

Hanami dismissed the man's concerns while replying, "What good is the support of slaves?"

"Slaves who might find their chains shattered if she assumes control," the man warned since he knew that was the last thing they could afford. "I don't find it strange that most imagine she would end the practice of binding them with the Caged Bird Seal. That would make the pact that..."

"I'm well aware," Hanami said cutting the man off, not needing him to explain what was at stake. "I'm sure the Elders will deal with her if it comes to it. She is surrounded by protectors who can easily be dealt with by a mere handsign."

"Which is more than a hindrance then you might think. Using it in an attempt to eliminate her would reveal who was behind the plot."

Hanami let a pleased smile appear on her face as she said, "Then if the time comes. I would expect you to deal with the matter."

"Me... but..."

"Consider it your difficult choice," Hanami said letting the man hear the enjoyment that she was deriving from his situation. "You can let the Main House potentially bungle the attempt to eliminate her, as they will wait until it is too late for the very reasons you stated. Thus giving her more time to build support. Or, you can take it upon yourself and likely die shortly after succeeding. A truly tragic tale about how one of the very slaves that she tried to elevate turned against her, but dying a martyr for our Holy Mother's benefit. I'm sure that you'll make the right decision."

She cut the connection from his crystal only now disappointed the distance hadn't allowed for a clearer picture of the man, since she would have enjoyed seeing his face. She heard movement coming from the room that she had converted into a guest room, and which she had taken since she would never allow a non-believer to enjoy her body. Turning to look over her shoulder, she saw a nude Jade emerge. Her gaze drifted to the chastity belt the younger woman wore. The device served two purposes one of which was so the owner of the hut knew that she was also off limits. But also to slowly ramp up Jade's lusts as she was denied sexual gratification. Aware that Jade was still a virgin in having yet to be penetrated, Naori intended for the ceremony to celebrate the return of their Holy Mother's form to the temple which would culminate in her claiming it. It would also fully induct Jade, as well as elevate her to the position of High Priestess's consort. An honor that Hanami bore as well.

Yet, she could tell that Jade had at least heard the tail end of her conversation so appeared rather conflicted by it. Asking for confirmation she said, "I take it you heard all that." Jade nodded so she explained, "No doubt you are questioning how I can be so passive about discussing an assassin going after my daughter."

"It sounded like you were ordering it to me," Jade replied quickly. "I.. I just don't know how you could do such a thing."

Hanami frowned since Jade did show some resistance to some of the coldblooded ways the Descendants of the Moon conducted themselves. She had been little different for a time as well. Plus,iIt was to be expected particularly due to how Naori and she had brought the woman around to joining them which was simply to make her more accepting of the truth that the Moon Goddess represented. Yet, that didn't mean she would blindly accept all their actions. In fact, she doubted Jade truly understood the fate that awaited the man whose house they were using as a base camp.
