Chapter 15: Achievement(1)

When I play, I play to win. Whatever it takes. Nothing is too over the top. Such is the way a monster should be. I have many achievements and conquests, some big and some small. The size doesn't matter though, all that counts is that I take the victory.

The day I stop winning is the day I stop being me. I am a monster, we don't lose. I'm the best at what I do, no matter what it is I'm doing. That is how it has always been, and that is how it always will be.

I'm a monster.

We don't know how to hold back.

Just the way it should be.

Yagura, or Uchiha Obito, was frustrated.

For the past two weeks he'd been receiving constant reports of how there were two children destroying his bases around Mizu no Kuni. They couldn't tell for sure, but they were almost positive that they belonged to the Resistance. It annoyed him that the outlaws had acquired two powerful allies. They were more trouble than the entire Resistance combined. He had been fighting the bloodline lovers for years now, and never before had they gained such strength.

He didn't really care about the stupid country at all, but the fact that he was being toyed with by two kids made him a little bitter. Who were these 'Demons of the Resistance,' and why did they show up now, out of the blue?

It wasn't that he cared what they did to Kiri, but if they were good enough to mess him up here, they may prove to be a threat to his real goal. The Akatsuki was still in its recruiting stage, and they were not ready if they needed to start this soon with the Bijuu hunt. They had a few incredibly powerful members, but not enough to insure they could take on every village if they needed to. Madara had drilled the idea that being too careful didn't exist. You could never be too prepared, and if he let these two children live, they could grow into something too powerful for their exclusive organization to handle.

He wanted to stay in Kiri to handle the problem himself, but he was needed in Ame. He'd have to program Yagura to kill the threats himself if the opportunity presented itself. If he knew where even one of them was, he'd swarm them faster than bee's to honey. He really wanted those two dead.

Having 'his' men tell him that they were being slaughtered by adolescents was beginning to annoy him. It was time to end this little problem.

A swirl in the air around him heralded his leaving Kiri. It was time to check on the 'God' of Rain.

The first thing he noticed was the warmth. Not the unpleasant, hot summer day warm. No, it was far from that. The warmth he was experiencing was the kind only another body could produce. The kind only someone you trusted could give you. It was intimate and innocent all at once, and welcoming, very welcoming.

The gentle rise and fall of his warmth's chest against his back was the second thing he noticed. It captivated him, the pressure applied to him every time she took in another breath. The feeling was both firm and soft. Such softness shouldn't exist in this world. It calmed him, like it was his own personal paradise. He wondered if many others had felt this very same slice of heaven. It was his favorite spot as of this moment.

How his body was tangled with his warmth's was the next thing his mind picked up. Their legs were touching, smooth creamy flesh meeting his own tanner shade. Her legs were longer than his, but they were still able to intertwine them together. Hers were as soft and smooth as her chest, if that was even possible. Auburn hair lay sprawled out on the bed, brushing his shirtless back.

His warmth's arms were completely wrapped around him, locking together in a safe embrace. He could feel her warm breath on his neck every time she exhaled, reminding him just how warm she was. If he could, he'd stay like this forever, but that wasn't something either of them could do. Both of their tasks were much too important. Their countries needed them.

He gently broke the lock of her arms, and untwined their legs, earning a groan of displeasure. He chuckled; she obviously liked their close slumber as well. "Just a while longer, Naruto-kun." The sleepy kunoichi mumbled, wanting to stay in her comfortable spot for as long as possible.

After his little chat with Jiraiya last week, Naruto had told Mei his real name. He knew she was someone he could trust with that little secret. He could feel and understand anyone he wished just as much as they understood themselves. He knew that Mei actually cared for him, even if she wanted to care for him on a more romantic level.

She had respected his decision of not wanting to have sexual relations with her, which relieved the blond greatly, and agreed to having just a closer than most friendship, which included, but was not limited to, sharing a bed. He was happy that she wasn't offended that he didn't want to have sex with her, and that she was okay with their relationship as it was.

The last four days had the Resistance and Ro-Han waiting for the right moment to strike the weapons factory. They knew that there was a monthly shipment plan, where the factory would send the newly created kunai and shuriken to Kiri, which was the perfect opportunity. Shio was a larger village than most, and timing was crucial if they intended to pull off a clean hit-and-run operation.

In the small time they had to relax, Naruto had spent the majority of it with Mei. They spoke a lot about what would happen with Kiri and all of Mizu no Kuni after Yagura was dead. The woman had many ideas for her country, which included peace treaties with the other nations. She had no wish to ever have to plunge her birthplace into war again. They had suffered the effects of war for too long already.

Another topic they discussed was Naruto's incredible power, or as much as he was allowed to tell her, which wasn't much. He had explained that like Jiraiya, he was a Sage, just on a more potent level. He told her that he was born with his abilities, and had joined the ANBU when he was six, which shocked the woman greatly. He was the youngest assassin she ever heard of. It was incredible and so sad at the same time.

"We have to get up now." He said softly, resisting her cute pout. "Or do you want everyone to find out that we sleep together?" He frowned. "With Saru and Ero-sennin, we'd never hear the end of it…" That wasn't something he was looking forward to. He wanted to keep whatever intimacy he had, with anyone, as far away from his fellow Sennin as possible, or have his private life become the man's newest porn book plot. That wasn't something the blond would appreciate.

Mei sighed in defeat. She knew they needed to get up before everyone, or they would find out their innocent enough secret. They weren't doing anything in her room, just friendly spooning, but neither of them were delusional; no one would believe them.

She had no problems sleeping with Naruto, sexually or just for the warmth and company, but she didn't want everyone knowing it. She wasn't ashamed, she just needed her private life to stay private. She was the leader of the Resistance after all, and she needed to keep her powerful and deadly kunoichi reputation.

"I really wish you were older…" She sighed. "If you were, we wouldn't need to hide," she paused, "whatever this is." She really wished they were closer in age, or at least that he was a little older so that they could have some fun together.

Naruto returned the sigh. "Sorry." He chuckled. "I didn't have any control over my conception." He gave another chuckle, this one dry and humorous. "I don't even know who my parents were." Mei gave the blond a sad smile. That was another topic they talked about. Neither of them knew their parents. In Naruto's case, he wasn't even allowed to know who they were. Mei's father had died at the beginning of the Third Shinobi World War, right after Mei was born. Her mother had died a year later, leaving the woman all alone in the world.

"Well, I guess I can forgive you then." She replied, stretching herself against the large comfortable bed. Ever since Naruto had joined her in sleeping, she had been able to sleep better than ever. It saddened her that he would have to leave; she would miss his presence and warmth in her bed which was much too big for only her.

"Good." Naruto smiled. "I wouldn't want you to be mad at me for the rest of the time I'm here." He said, also stretching. After the two got dressed and left one at a time, they returned to their places among the others.

Saru was oblivious, as was Jiraiya, but only because he kept undressing the females of the Resistance with his eyes. Damn perv…

Neko, however, knew that something was going on between the two. What it was, she had no idea, but something was definitely happening. She held her tongue, though, knowing that she could risk her command. She didn't want the most powerful operative in her squad, in her village, to see her as nothing more than an annoyance. Karasu knew as well, it was obvious to him. They went off to sleep at the same time and Nezumi never slept with them. How everyone else hadn't figured it out confused him, but like everything else, he stayed quiet. He didn't like to pry into anyone's private life.
