67: Expanding Territories: Yugakure Part II

"Wakey, wakey bitch."

The Spy that had broken into Tayuya's office had been awake for several minutes so she half expected a slap to follow, but remained relaxed in order hopefully by a few more moments to reflect on her situation. She cursed her getting caught as she had been too eager to try and recover the scroll from Tayuya to properly scout out the woman's office. But, after months of not hearing anything of value as the red-head had focused almost exclusively on the next Princess Gale film, it had been too hard not to act and miss her chance. But due to that rush she was now tied to a chair, and was positive that she was about to be tortured for information on where she came from and who sent her.

To her surprise though instead of being slapped, a warm weight settled on her lap as arms wrapped gingerly around her neck. "I know you're awake," Tayuya's voice said without the same harshness as before, "This really doesn't have to be an unpleasant experience you know." The spy was taken aback by the softness of her would be interrogator's voice so opened her eyes.

Tayuya gave her a smirk, which grew wider as the brown-haired woman's gaze moved down from her face and registered that she was sitting on her lap completely naked. Her captive's eyes grew wide for a moment before she met the red-head's eyes with a glare. "Is this the part where you threaten to rape me if I don't cooperate? Funny, I would think that was a job for the man that was accompanying you."

"Oh, no, no, no," Tayuya said sounding mockingly horrified, "That just isn't our style. Besides, if we were going to rape you, wouldn't you be naked as well?" She leaned in towards her captive as she whispered throatily in her ear, "Not to mention, it wouldn't be torture if he were to have his way with you." Her captive scoffed causing the former Sound-nin to pull away to state, "Oh, don't get me wrong. I know even if it feels good as long as it's against your will its rape. But, that's why we're going to play this little game." Tayuya stood from the woman's lap causing her captive to take in her surroundings for the first time. The bound woman was obviously surprised to find herself in a large spacious bedroom with expensive looking furniture.

Her gaze caught sight of a dresser with a mirror on it which from the angle of it, she was able to see a window behind her. The spy having expected to have been moved to Koyuki's mansion in Fire Country, where she stayed while filming movies at the studio, was shocked to see an urban environment reflected in it. The woman returned her glare to Tayuya as the red-head noticing her captive's barely expressed surprise said, "Very good, you're not in Fire Country anymore. You're in the Capital of Spring Country."

"How long have I been out?"

"You really don't know how this interrogation shit works do you?" Tayuya asked amused. "Generally, it's the person tied to the chair that gets asked the questions."

"Typically I imagine it would also be the person tied to the chair that is naked," the spy retorted causing a woman behind Tayuya to laugh.

"She does have you there," an equally naked Maki said causing the spy to notice her presence for the first time. The woman's eyes then traveled to the large bed that the recently revealed kunoichi was standing next to. It was a four-poster bed that had a translucent sheet surrounding it which due to the light on a night stand opposite of the woman's location was causing a shadow to appear on it. From the shadow, she was able to tell that there was a third occupant of the room, and she guessed from the build it belonged to the man that had appeared with Tayuya when they ambushed her.

Her gaze settled back on the red-head as she stated, "Tell you what. If you confirm my guess about where you are from, then I'll tell you how long you've been unconscious."

The spy simply met Tayuya's gaze with a blank stare as the red-head walked around her. "Okay then," Tayuya replied with a shrug when no answer became forthcoming, "Maki, why don't you get things started why I explain things to our guest."

The spy noted how a wide smile appeared on the other woman's face as she replied, "I thought you'd never ask."

The woman watched as Maki climbed onto the bed causing her shadow to get cast on the sheet as she crawled to the sitting man who stated, "Um, Maki… I'm not sure how comfortable I am with this plan."

The man let out a groan though a moment later Maki's face lowered to his groin and her shadow melded with his. It remained stationary as slurping noises rose from behind the silk curtain, before Maki head began sliding up and down in his lap.

Tayuya smirked as Maki pulled away with a loud pop to reveal the proudly erect kunoichi tamer that had ensnared many a stubborn kunoichi. She noticed how the captive woman's eyes grew slightly bigger as she took stock of it herself. Maki caused Tayuya to giggle as she said, "At least one part of you seems quiet happen to go along with it. Just lay back and relax, because it's been so long since I've had you to myself I wouldn't care if the entirety of Suna was outside that curtain watching."

Tayuya watched as the spy filed away the information away that the other woman might be a resident of Suna. She knew that she was playing a rather dangerous game; as if it got out of hand Naruto would neither take the woman against her will, nor kill her in order to eliminate her. Furthermore, considering the fact that she was all but positive that her captive was from Yugakure, a place notorious for selling the secrets of others, she knew what the spy was learning would potentially expose the Family.

However, Tayuya was convinced that while her captive might have been working for the Daimyo of Hot-Water Country, she might have had an angle of her own in securing the scroll. She believed this due to how it appeared that the woman was working alone as while she had been unconscious for several hours, they had searched her apartment finding no sign that anyone else had been there. Not to mention how the spy had kept everyone at arm's length while assuming her duties as the studio's head of security. As such, Tayuya believed that much like Taki had apparently been assigned a long term mission to find and deal with Kanji by herself. Her captive had been assigned a similar mission to find and collect the scroll. She believed though that the woman had her own angle simply because as far as Tayuya could tell, the woman had not tried to contact anyone about her success in locating it. The reason could be that she simply didn't want to report as much without getting eyes on it, but considering how the spy should have realized that Tayuya was operating as part of a larger organization due to Naruto's appearance with it, the woman's lack of caution seemed suspect. After all, she could easily imagine that Daimyo Bora would be quite interested in knowing another group was also interested in what was on the scroll.

She focused on the matter at hand as she found it amusing to watch how the spy was looking away from the curtain as her cheeks began to color. Occasionally she'd look up whenever a loud moan escaped Naruto as Maki continued to suck his cock. But upon noticing Tayuya watching she'd catch herself looking so would quickly turn away.

Walking behind the chair, she felt her own pussy growing wet from the show as Naruto laid down on his back and apparently forgot about the audience so began to get lost in feeling good, causing his desire to make his lovers feel so as well to take over prompting him to say, "Maki, let me taste you."

The Suna jounin and member of its shinobi council quickly spun around so that she was lying atop of him with her pussy facing him. She let out a loud moan as Naruto immediately raised up to clamp his mouth to it and began licking her outer lips before plunging his tongue inside.

The act caused the spy to look back up and she shifted uncomfortably. Tayuya smirked since she imagined the kunoichi's body was beginning to react to the sight and sounds filling the room. Wrapping her arms around the woman's neck she whispered huskily in her ear, "So just to make it clear. I know you're a kunoichi from Yugakure, and I know you were tasked with recovering the scroll that I helped myself too. But, I'm thinking that you really have no idea as to what is on it, and are rather curious." The woman shifted her gaze to meet Tayuya's eyes as best she could so the red-head added, "I can tell you." She quickly registered the desire to know that appeared in the woman's eyes before it disappeared. The quick flash though was enough to confirm to her that her captive's desire for knowledge wasn't born of personal gain. But, likely a desire to know exactly why Bora wanted it back so badly, and if it was something that she could use against him. From her own time as Naruto's talent scout, as well as some insights gained from Konan's visit, she suspected the woman was one of the kunoichi not pleased with Yugakure's current path. However, the woman looked away refusing to bite on the tempting morsel that she had been given, so Tayuya sighed before stating, "Looks like we do this the hard way then." Coming around the chair to temporarily block the shadows of the moaning couple on the bed while they continued to orally please each other, she added, "Well, hard for you that is. For Maki and myself it is going to be extremely pleasurable. Now as you can no doubt already ascertain your chakra has been sealed and you have been tied to that chair. Oh, and just in case you get some funny ideas about breaking it while I'm otherwise distracted. Just know that the cloths binding you are specially made in Suna and are…"

An "Oh fuck," cut Tayuya off causing her to look back and see that Maki had impaled herself on Naruto's pleasure stick and was now happily bouncing atop of it. She watched for a moment and let her hand drift between her legs to give her cunt a quick rub as her pussy reminded her that it wanted to be stuffed full of Uzumaki meat too. She tore her eyes away and focused on her prisoner who was also watching the Suna kunoichi raise and lower herself on the dick buried inside her.

Tayuya continued to rub her snatch as the spy seemed to have forgotten about her presence for the moment, but when she remembered her eyes went wide in shock at seeing the red-head boldly rubbing her drooling cunt. Picking up from where she had been interrupted at she continued with a sense of urgency, "Anyway, those bindings will get tighter and tighter the more you struggle so I would recommend not struggling too much. Although, I suspect a little squirming is to be expected. You stay here and I'll be back to check on you to see if you feel like talking. Hmm, let's say in about an hour shall we."

With that Tayuya walked away to the edge of the bed and crawled in casting her shadow on the curtain. Moving to Naruto's face, she lowered her mouth to his and began kissing him hungrily while Maki continued to bounce on his dick as he fondled and teased her breasts. Already forgetting about her captive, she pulled away to take in her lover's face which showed the pleasure he was feeling from being buried inside Maki and wanting to contribute to it she moved down to his chest to begin running her tongue around his nipples. Hearing him groan caused her to bring her hand between her legs as it was music to her ears. Yet, soon her hand wasn't enough so she straddled his face and immediately felt him begin kissing her nether lips to drink in her love honey.

Tayuya leaned forward so she could wrap her arms around Maki's neck and pulled her into a kiss. The two kunoichi moaned into each other's mouths as their half of Naruto continued pleasuring their pussies. Maki eventually broke away due to her approaching orgasm causing her to arch back and grab Naruto's knees as she began grinding herself into him. It also served to pull her tits free of his hands which sought out Tayuya's instead while she leaned forward to clamp her mouth to the Suna-nin's breast. Flicking her tongue over the woman's nipple, she used her other hand to pinch and tease the other until Maki suddenly let out a loud shriek as she alerted everyone, "Oh yes… fuck yes… I'm cumming!!!"

Tayuya pulled back and watched as Maki shivered while her orgasm hit her. Naruto suddenly squeezing tighter on her breasts let the red-head know that the Suna-nin was also receiving a womb full of his seed. Maki fell back as she caught her breath; the action caused Naruto's cock to pull free and snap towards Tayuya causing her to get sprayed with the last few spurts of his cum. She leaned forward to clean it before taking it for a spin herself, but Naruto had other ideas as he pushed her forward and slid from beneath her.

Tayuya didn't mind as she was quickly filled with him once he got up to his knees behind her. She threw herself back to meet his thrusts and moaned loudly for her captive's benefit. But, seeing Naruto's seed leaking from Maki's just fucked lower lips couldn't deny herself the taste of the elixir that had been created from the essences of the two so pulled the Suna-nin towards her mouth in order to tongue fuck her cunt. She let herself get lost in the pleasure as she let Maki's cries substitute for her own while she thistly drank the seed that Naruto had deposited inside her. All the while confident that those cries were wearing down her captive's will, especially as she was sure soon the woman's body would be begging to experience the pleasure that she was witnessing Naruto give them for herself.

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

Mabui sat on her couch as she ate some take out ramen from a relatively new restaurant called Ichiraku of Kumogakure. She had met the owner and knew that it was Ayame's father, who was currently looking for a cook to take over now that he had established his newest chain. She had asked about where he planned to head next and she had held back a smirk as he had suggested Amegakure as his next stop. Seeing the ramen shop that Naruto had practically grown up on spreading to places where his ambition had filled Mabui with a sense of pride. She figured that much like the smell of the stand had reminded her of her lover; it would be a constant reminder of just how far they had come.

The door to her apartment opened causing her to hold back a smile as she figured the smell was what attracted the two women stepping inside who were Yugito and Samui. Her fellow Kumo-nin approached while Yugito said, "Since it seems Naruto is busy, are you settling for the next best thing?"

Mabui smiled as she teased back, "Are you projecting your own desires onto me? Teuchi mentioned that he thought his ramen might be some sort of jinchuriki attractant as you've been spending an awful lot of time there since returning from Turtle Island."

Yugito's cheeks colored slight before giggling as she admitted, "Well it is a scent he almost always carries on him. So you can't blame a girl for wanting to be around it as often as possible. Plus it doesn't hurt the food is to die for."

"Speaking of," Samui said nodding towards the bag, "There seems to be quite a bit."

Mabui held her hand towards it stating, "Help yourselves. I figured the smell might attract your attention. I thought it would be nice to eat with my new neighbors."

The other two women smiled at the gesture quickly helping themselves while Mabui's attention refocused back on the file open before her. Having read it several times already she couldn't focus exclusively on it so found herself thinking about how nice it was to have neighbors again, especially ones that she shared so much with. It was she supposed another sign of just how far the Family's ambition had come as Kiyomi had taken advantage of Kumo's economic downturn before the effects of the opening up trade with the other Shinobi Villages had taken effect to purchase up all the vacant apartments in Mabui's building. Therefore, as a result the top three floors of the luxurious building built into the side of the mountain belonged solely to Kiyomi's company.

Mabui had to give the fox credit as she had managed to purchase them without tipping her off as she had set up a shell corporation to do it. The new corporation which in hindsight Mabui should have realized might be tied to Kiyomi's company as it had been called Fox's Den incorporated was a real estate company which specialized in buying up properties and turning them around. Mabui had just recently become aware of the truth as she had looked deeper into the company as she had noticed lots of changes being made to her building. Finding the paper trail led to the Great Tree Shipping Company she had approached Karin, who had in turn told her to talk to both Mito and Kiyomi.

Cornering the two women, she had been touched and happy upon learning that Naruto had asked them to create similar home like environments for his lovers outside of Konoha as the Hidden Eddy Inn. The other two women of Kumogakure that were also members of his family had just recently moved in. Still, Mabui admitted that it would probably be a while before the recently renamed Hidden Thunder Inn would be as lively as its Konoha counterpart. Mabui was making plans to help the process along, but figured it would still be a while before they could be put in place as Naruto was likely focusing on the upcoming Chunin Exams. Not to mention moving his ambition forward.

Therefore in the meantime she had put her mental energies to other pursuits, one of which Samui inquired about as she looked at the file the Raikage secretary was only partial reading. "Reading about the missing-nin Balrog is not exactly something that I would want to do with a full stomach. He truly was a detestable man."

"I agree," Mabui stated having just started in her position around the time the powerfully built man had become a missing-nin. "However, having just become aware of his connection to the incident that occurred when the Whirling Tides Manor was purchased I figured it couldn't hurt to have a look."

"What incident are you referring too?"

Answering Samui's question Yugito stated, "It was before your induction to the family. But, right after Karin won the auction to purchase the Whirling Tides Manor, she and Tsunami were attacked by Balrog and a masked man. Thanks to her chakra sensing abilities she was able to identify the man as a rival bidder named Vega." Focusing on Mabui the former host of the two-tails said, "I looked into Balrog after the incident. But considering that ever since defecting he's bounced from one criminal group to another as an enforcer there wasn't much to go on. I just figured Vega hired him for some added muscle."

"A reasonable theory since even Ibiki investigation into S.I.N. would seem to suggest as much. The S.I.N. Corporation also rather quickly distanced themselves from Vega, stating that while he did work for them it was simply in the role of a consultant and buyer for properties the corporation was looking to turn around. They even suggested that he might have taken the role to lend his movements an air of credibility to cover his illegal activities."

Samui picked up the file on Vega as she said, "I see. Since I'm not tied to the more intelligence aspects of our ambition I'm not an expert, but I thought we are operating under the assumption that S.I.N. might have been interested in the Whirling Tides Manor as a front for something. But, this information would make it seem as if Vega could have been hired simply to assassinate Karin and the auction was just an excuse to appear in Wave with his target."

Mabui nodded as she replied, "That is one interpretation of the evidence. I would even go and state that it is the most probable conclusion one would make if presented the evidence we have gathered thus far."

Sounding amused, Yugito stated, "Yet, why do I sense a but coming up?"

"I suppose because I would have to add, but it feels too neat."

"Ah yes, and we would really hate it if something was nice and neat rather than snowballing into grand conspiracies," the blonde Jinchuriki stated amused.

Mabui was forced to smile as she replied, "Well it just wouldn't feel right if it didn't." The three Kumo-nin shared amused looks before she continued, "Besides, Karin seems to believe that Vega's interest truly laid with the hotel and his attacking her was simply because she had outbid him so attacked her group out of vanity. From what we've been able to learn about him, I would tend to believe that version of what happened."

"Yet, where does that leave us?" Samui asked. "It's likely that due to the mask he wears Vega was a member of the Hunter Division of Kirigakure. But, we have almost no information coming from there as all the villages currently tied with us are on exceedingly poor terms with them. Vega is as much a dead end as Balrog was."

"Maybe not," Mabui stated taking the folder from Samui to flip to a newer entry as she noted the others had finished eating. Turning the folder to face the other two women, they saw pictures of what looked like a massacre. More importantly to the women, they noticed that several in of the pictures featured shinobi wearing Kumo uniforms. Samui recognized some of the shinobi having attended their funerals, but Yugito having been on Turtle Island to keep tabs on Bee and Aisha as well as handling their punishment before Ay had arrived to take over was surprised.

"W-when did this happen?"

Answering the former host, Mabui explained, "This happened while you were away with Bee. A team of Chunin, with a Jounin leader, were ordered to raid a warehouse suspected to be a location that the criminal group Shadowloo was using to store drugs they were supplying to the area. You are looking at the aftermath of that raid. Two female chunin named Juni and Juli are currently missing, while all the males were killed but one. He was found in a state of near death and has been in a coma since then. He recently came out of it, and yesterday was well enough to finally shed some light on what happened. It turns out that both Vega and Balrog were there along with a woman with a glowing eye. I believe this glowing eye might have been a techno-organ that I was recently made aware of from our last intelligence gathering. If so, it seems that it might be possible that Shadowloo is behind the chakra armor showing up at the Whirling Tides Manor. It might have also served as a little bit of payback for outbidding them for it, especially if Vega is working for them."

"Wait, you're suggesting that Shadowloo wanted to purchase the Whirling Tides Manor?"

Nodding in the affirmative to Yugito's question, Mabui explained, "A casino would be a great way to funnel large sums of ill-gotten cash, which was what they wanted to build there."

"I don't know," Samui said sounding unconvinced at the idea. "If Shadowloo is involved they went through a lot of effort to cover their tracks. It would also suggest that S.I.N. is a front for them, yet it survived a rather thorough investigation from the Leaf without anything suspicious turning up. I find it hard to believe they would be so upfront about what they wanted the hotel for."

Mabui couldn't fault Samui's logic but tried to refute some of it stating, "Well, Shadowloo hasn't become as big a problem for the Leaf as it has been for us. Moreover, it could have been them hoping to branch out when they tried to buy Whirling Tides Manor."

"I don't know about that," Yugito said with a frown, "Didn't Vega turn up with those slavers in Wind Country? It would suggest to me that Shadowloo's reach goes a lot further than we think. Maybe we should ask someone in Suna to interrogate the surviving slave traders. It might turn out that they are more connected to Shadowloo then we think."

"I'll suggest it to Hanare," Mabui said thinking it couldn't hurt, especially if it brought them closer to learning if Shadowloo was the culprits behind the Chakra Armor attack on Bee, as well as what other plots the organization had which could interfere with their Family's goals.

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

"Oh fuck yes, you motherfucker shoot your cum inside me," Tayuya shouted as she came after feeling Naruto fire rope after rope of his seed inside her already overfilled womb. She moaned in happy satisfaction with a slight tone of loss as he pulled out and Maki quickly wrapped her lips around his manhood.

He in turned groaned as Maki began licking him clean while Tayuya crawled to the end of the bed and stepped out from behind the sheet to check on her captive. The former Sound-nin was amused as the woman turned away as soon as she noticed that she was being observed having been engrossed in the shadows cast on the sheet surrounding the bed. Tayuya walked a little weak-kneed as she and Maki had been enjoying their lover nearly non-stop for over three hours. Every once in a while Tayuya would check on her captive to see how well she was holding up, in order to get the information she desired.

Tayuya watched the woman struggle not to squirm and rub her thighs together under her gaze. The red-head spotted the traces of Naruto's cum that she had left behind on the woman's lap from her previous talks due to it leaking out of her well fucked pussy. Retaking her seat on her lap, she took in the woman's elevated breathing, and rosy cheeks as the spy did everything in her power to avoid eye contact. Still she barely resisted as Tayuya placed a finger under the woman's chin to guide her gaze to her eyes. Almost immediately the woman's brown eyes locked on a glob of Naruto's cum that was near Tayuya's lips. The red-head used her tongue to swipe it up and moaned contently from the taste.

"Mmm, delicious," she said after savoring her lover's flavor. Wrapping her arms around the woman's neck as she sat on her lap facing her, she asked, "So, how about it? Do you feel like talking yet?

Tayuya could tell that the woman was on the edge of surrendering to the lust that her inability to move allowed to keep building, but not just due to the sights and sounds of the sexual acts that she had witnessed, but also to Naruto's pheromones which even now where filling the room driving all those present wild with lust. Pheromones which considering Tayuy's close proximity were driving the woman made with desire, and a need for release. Hoping to push the woman over the edge she leaned in to whisper, "You don't need to suffer. Just give in and I promise you'll never regret it."

The woman moaned in response as Tayuya leaned back to study her target and could see that she had just barely holding back from licking another grouping of Naruto's cum from her chest. Tayuya scooped it up with her finger and held two of her semen covered digits in front of the brown-haired kunoichi. She nearly laughed as she moved them before the woman, whose gaze tracked the movements like a canine following a treat. Seeing that, she brought them towards the kunoichi's mouth, who opened it to receive the creamy goodness, but at the last second Tayuya pulled her hand away.

The woman groaned audibly prompting her to say, "What's your name?"

"Chun-li," the woman said as her resistance crumbled due to the unbearable need she had to taste the white man cream hanging from the red-head's fingers.

"A pleasure," Tayuya stated placing her fingers against Chun-li's tongue. She watched the woman's eyes roll up into the back of her head as she moaned loudly while her pussy flooded her panties due to the small taste awakening a need that she could no longer control.

Chun-li didn't even offer token resistance as Tayuya pulled her face towards her chest. Instead, she licked along her captor's chest tasting more of the man the red-head had been fucking for the past several hours.

Tayuya watched as the Chun-li licked her chest like a woman possessed while she searched out for more of her lover's seed. She bit her lip for a moment as she felt a small hesitation about implementing the next phase of her plan, mainly because she knew her lover might not react well to it. This was because he was ignorant of a key factor, and even though she knew it would prove that he was the type of man that all of Naruto's lovers believed he was to her captive. It would also test him, and he probably would not be happy about it afterwards. But, having come this far she decided to proceed so whistled a short three note tune.

Behind her on the bed, Maki ceased blowing Naruto in order to ask, "Hey, do you want to try something new?"

"What?"

She climbed up Naruto's chest to sit on it and then grabbing his hands she held them against the posts of the bed. "How about you let me tie you to the bed?"

Tayuya could hear the smile in Naruto's voice as he said, "I believe we've done that before. Am I going to need to search you for a kunai?"

"I'm pretty sure with how eagerly you've explored my body already you would have found one by now," Maki replied with an amused tone. "This time I want to do it and us a new jutsu that I've developed. It will block out your sense of sight and sound, just leaving you your remaining senses." Tayuya imagined Naruto was giving the Suna-nin an unsure look which prompted her to say with a pout, "Please, I promise you'll feel things you've never felt before."

The smile he wore was easy to hear in his voice as he said, "How can I refuse such a tempting offer?"

Tayuya looked over her shoulder to watch as Maki pointed to her cloth roll and due to her chakra which was infused in the material; it began to respond to her wishes. Like a snake, the end of the roll shot forward and wrapped around Naruto's wrists tying him to the bed. The rest of the cloth bundle fell inert after Naruto was secured so the Suna kunoichi tore off a small piece that she tied around Naruto's eyes and then applied a seal to.

Almost immediately Naruto said with a voice several octaves louder than normal, "Hey, who turned out the lights. It's a lot darker than... Wow, I really can't hear anything either. I guess I'm at your mercy now, huh."

Tayuya watched Maki reach forward to caress Naruto's face, and could imagine the look of contentment the Suna-nin wore. She knew it was a sign of trust for Naruto to allow himself to be put in such a similar situation to how the two had first become bound together considering Maki had intended to kill him at the time. It was that fact which had made it rather difficult for Tayuya to convince her to go along with the plan that they were now putting into motion. Still, she had succeeded by reminding the Suna-nin that the best way to bring the captive around was for the emotions to be as real and raw as possible. That way if things went as Tayuya expected, it would be harder for Chun-li to believe she was being duped if Naruto showed he had been as equally in the dark.

She watched Maki's shadow turn around and she lowered her face to Naruto's groin causing him to moan loudly as she gave his mansicle a large lick. Tayuya turned away as Maki continued to tease their shared lover in order to prepare him so a new combatant could enter the arena that was his bed. She pulled her chest from Chun-li's licking face causing the woman to stare at her hungrily as Naruto's scent and taste had acted as an aphrodisiac for the kunoichi. Cupping the woman's face, who began to suck on Tayuya's thumb which had rested near her lips, the red-head asked, "Do you want the burning need between your legs to go away?"

"Yes," the woman whispered almost pleadingly, "Let… let my hands go so I can get some relief please. I've answered your questions."

"You've answered a question," Tayuya corrected, "I have many, many more. But, you do deserve some compensation for your coming around." The red-head stood from Chun-li's lap and almost immediately the woman looked towards the gathered seed that had leaked from her as they had talked. Hugging her from behind, Tayuya ran her fingers down her captive's front. Dipping her fingers in the puddle of cum, Tayuya raised them before Chun-li and when the brunette leaned forward to try and clean them, the former Sound-nin said, "Why settle for leftovers when you can have it straight from the source." Chun-li looked away from the tantalizing seed as some of her modesty returned, but Tayuya whispered, "It's okay; there is no need to be ashamed. You're right in thinking that burning desire is just your body giving into the stimuli it has been fed these past few hours. It is not a weakness on your part to want to experience the same pleasure you've witnessed us enjoy. I'll let you have a crack as well, and he doesn't even have to know. Currently he's been blindfolded and his sense of hearing is being blocked. You can just waltz over experience the thrill of riding his big fat cock and be returned to the chair with him being none the wiser. Would you like that?"

Chun-li's gaze focused on the shadows being cast on the silk screen. Tayuya, brought her cum coated digit next to the brunette's lips and began rubbing her index finger around them until they parted so the woman could suck it clean. Tayuya took it as a sign that she had surrendered to the desires burning inside her so undid the knot holding her captive to the chair. She helped the woman stand while noticing the darkened material where her lusts had seeped into it.

Chun-li stood shakily mostly to her having sat in the same position for several hours, as well as her hands were still tied behind her back. Tayuya moved in front and crouched down before her captive pulling down the woman's pants as she went. She was mindful of the fact that despite her captive's chakra still being sealed, that didn't mean she was completely defenseless. But, as the scent of Chun-li's arousal hit her once she got her pants and panties down past her hips, she felt that the only thing she would need to be worried of was being trampled as the brunette tried to reach Naruto to have her drooling pussy plugged full of Uzumaki meat.

Chun-li stepped out of her pants with Tayuya's help, who tossed them to the side, before taking a moment to inspect the woman. A neatly trimmed bush of brown hair laid just above her pussy which was dribbling its fluid down the insides of her powerfully built thighs. Confident in her plan, Tayuya turned her back on Chun-li stating, "Follow me."

For a moment, she felt a spark of warning that the woman might attack her, but Naruto let out a groan due to Maki circling the head of his cock with her tongue. Tayuya felt the thought of resistance fade from her captive who followed behind. Tayuya stopped at the foot of the bed, pulling the sheet to the side as she said, "Feel free to enjoy with my compliments. We'll talk more after you've gotten some relief."

Tayuya helped the woman stand on the bed, as Maki made room for her. Chun-li squatted down over his dick and moaned as Maki holding it ran it along her slit; she then pulled it back causing the head of it to scrap against some of the hairs of the brunette's bush. Having felt the new weight on the bed, and seeing as Maki was shaved completely while Tayuya had an arrow above her cunt, Naruto asked, "Has my sexy demoness come back for more?"

Tayuya laughed as it was rather loud due to his sense of hearing being blocked as a result of the seal that had been applied to the cloth covering his eyes. Maki smirked as well as she continued to tease the kunoichi by dragging the blond's cock against the woman's nether lips. Finally though she held it steady and Chun-li having enough of the teasing quickly seized the opportunity to impale herself on it.

"Oh fuck," Naruto groaned, while Chun-li shrieked as she came just from finally feeling the cock nestle up against her deepest spot. Tayuya bit her lip a little bit in concern since she was sure the woman's cunt was trying to milk Naruto of his seed, but she breathed easier as he seemed to whether the store. "Fuck Tayuya, how can you still be worked up enough to cum just from having me in you?"

Naruto sighed as he realized there was no point in asking a question he wouldn't be able to hear an answer to. But he was surprised as after cumming so hard, he felt who he believed was Tayuya begin bouncing almost frantically on his cock. He enjoyed the stimuli that his remaining senses where feeding him and admitted Maki's little game was making the experience rather incredible. He could feel Maki's lips when she pressed them against his chest and looked forward to guessing where they would appear next. Yet, he couldn't help feeling something was off as Tayuya almost felt too frantic riding atop of him.

Focusing on the sensations he was getting from her, while trying to ignore Maki's teasing kisses which were feeling more and more like a ploy to distract him, Naruto felt the picture his mind had been feeding him of Tayuya being the one atop of him begin to fade. He knew people that were aware of his many lovers might doubt him, but Naruto had always maintained that he could tell the subtle differences he experienced with each of them. He tended to believe that was one of the reasons his Harem didn't experience lots of jealousy or infighting, as he always treated them as individuals so recognized those things that made them as such. Including what differentiated them when in the midst of making love.

So, while the woman riding his cock was moving in a similar manner as he could picture Tayuya doing. It seemed off, particularly since he couldn't picture her getting off to such a degree without him participating. Tayuya like with how she talked gave as good as she got, and he couldn't imagine her enjoying riding him when Naruto couldn't hear her talking dirty to him. Furthermore, after several hours of passionate sex already, he just couldn't picture her fucking him so wildly as if she was starving for it or had been denied release for hours on end. Naruto's eyes grew wide behind the blindfold as he quickly realized what his lovers were up to.

Tayuya watched Chun-li as she bounced on Naruto's cock lost in a daze. Her head was staring up at the canopy of the bed as she rode him while facing the foot of the bed. She had been rubbing her pussy absentmindedly, but focused on Naruto as his head suddenly turned to where Chun-li had been sitting. He suddenly looked back as if he could see her despite the jutsu blinding him as he said, "Tayuya, whatever you're doing put an end to it now."

Chun-li hearing those words began bouncing even faster as she likely suspected she was about to be deprived of the orgasm that she had been working towards. Naruto groaned as the woman's cunt bore down while she moved faster and harder to cum and perhaps feel him do so as well. "Fuck…miss…stop…shit, I'm going to cum…" Chun-li did the opposite as she felt him swell inside her and moaned in frustration as Naruto refused to coat her in the warmth she was craving.

He clamped down on the desire to paint a new womb white as he steadied himself to say, "Tayuya, stop her now! Maki untie me."

The words reverberated through both women as Naruto used the Voice to make each woman comply with his orders. Tayuya moved forward grabbing Chun-li and pulled her off his cock just as Naruto exploded. His seed hit against the entrance of her cunt causing the brunette that had been on the verge of protesting seconds before to scream in release. Maki meanwhile made a handsign that caused the bonds holding him tied down to loosen. Naruto sat up pulling the blindfold from his eyes causing his sight and hearing to return. He was greeted to the view of Chun-li's rear facing him with her pussy coated in his seed, as well as the sounds of her satisfied breathing.

Looking at both of his lovers, he could see they were worried that he was angry, but strangely enough could also tell they were both feeling a sense of pride in him. Deciding to hear their explanations before deciding on whether to be angry or not, he said, "Alright, what were you two really up to?"

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

"I don't like it," Tsunade said causing Naruto to chuckle from his couch. Currently in his apartment as it had been a little over a week since the encounter with Chun-li. He had listened to Tayuya's explanation that she had believed Naruto would recognize it wasn't her and that upon doing so would demand they stop the woman from binding herself. She had felt it would give them a means of gaining the woman's trust when she realized the truth of her situation.

It had been a ploy that had worked since while she had recovered from her orgasm, Chun-li had put enough together to realize the control that he would have gained over her had he came inside. She hadn't been happy about being manipulated into sleeping with him, but she got over it quickly enough as she realized that they had answers that she had been searching for. Also, realizing that they had gained nothing in bringing her to the edge of binding herself only to back off, it had prompted Chun-li into also answering their questions. What had followed was an exchange of information that had left Chun-li speechless as she had learned that the scroll that she had been tasked with finding contained the secrets of the Binding, the jutsu that both the Temptation and Yugakure's Enticement Touch had derived from.

In return, he and his family had learned from Chun-li that Bora had no idea who had taken the scroll. She had been assigned the long-term mission of finding it, which she suspected was as much to keep her from causing trouble for the Daimyo and Village leader as it was because she was one of the village's best investigators. She had only suspected Tayuya mainly due to her many trips to the Village hall to use its Hawks to communicate outside the village. Although she hadn't known that the former Sound-nin was a kunoichi, Chun-li had thought it possible that she was communicating with a thief about Yugakure's defenses. Having cleared just about everyone else that had been visiting the village at the time, the brunette had admitted it was her last shot in the dark theory.

Naruto had found the woman cute as she had knelt on the edge of the bed, obviously embarrassed about her actions, and still not wearing any pants. Yet, she had been too proud to admit to it as the other three occupants on the bed had been completely at ease with their nudity. He had still been a little crossed with Tayuya and Maki, but it was more to do with just how much faith they seemed to have put in him. He supposed that what he hadn't liked the most about their plan other than being left in the dark was their faith that he would always choose the right thing. It had worked in the case with Chun-li, but he feared what would happen if he had chosen his desires over his sense of decency.

He didn't let it bother him long though as Tsunade hearing his chuckle said, "I'm serious."

"I know," Naruto said still sounding slightly amused causing a vein to appear on his lover's brow. He swallowed hard, but continued, "But, this is a good chance to scout Yugakure again, but this time with a person on the inside. At the very least we'll at least learn something of how they go about gathering information and blackmailing people."

"Provided you aren't walking into a trap," Tsunade said agitated. Her concern was easy to see as was the mirroring looks on the other women present faces which were Konan, Mikoto, Fu, Ayame, Naruko, Kiyomi, Sage, and his mother. "Honestly, why didn't you just Bind that woman to you? How do you know she didn't run straight to Bora and tell him that you unlocked the secrets of the scroll?"

"I didn't Bind her because I didn't know the first thing about her," Naruto said quickly. "It is kind of hard to commit to being willing to spend the rest of our days together if you can't be sure you even like someone. The only reason Tayuya was willing to let me get that close to it happening was she was fairly certain Chun-li was from Yugakure. She never laid eyes on her, but from talking to Konan, she knew there are a few kunoichi from there not exactly happy with the village's direction."

The blue-haired member nodded as she said, "Daimyo Bora did name two such women. Names I did supply Tayuya with shortly after my own induction. I believe when Tayuya heard her name that is when she decided to move onto the next phase of her plan."

"Basically that's correct," Naruto said with a reassuring smile which he sent to Tsunade. "Besides, if it was a trap do you really think I would be taking Ayame with me?"

"What's that supposed to me," Ayame said in a huff, "I've been training hard and put myself through some painful processes to increase my chakra to be able to handle myself."

Naruto looked over aware that his comment had hurt his official girlfriend's feelings so said, "I just mean that if it was a trap I wouldn't be so callous as to endanger anyone else."

It wasn't exactly the correct thing to say as the rest of the women, minus Sage all sent him various disproving looks with his mother stating, "Oh really. Afraid we couldn't take care of ourselves without our big strong Naruto there to defend us."

Naruto knew he had waded into dangerous territory as his gaze shifted from woman to woman. He settled on Sage, who said dispassionately, "I would recommend remaining silent."

Naruto sighed before replying, "It's good advice." However going against it he added, "But, what I mean is that I wouldn't be so callous with endangering you all. I know you can all take care of yourselves in a fight, but if I truly thought it was a trap I would insist on more precautions." Focusing on Ayame, he stated, "With that said, don't think I believe this is completely without risks. We will be in the heart of enemy territory and among some of the best people there are at ferreting out secrets. We're going to have to be on our guard at every moment, while giving off the appearance of being a couple in love on vacation."

Ayame smiled, as she replied, "I think I can pretend to love you. But comments like your previous one are going make it harder."

"Hey," Naruto said, "Would it help if I said you are currently the only woman I feel that could pull this off."

Ayame's eyes grew wide as she could tell Naruto wasn't just saying it to make her feel better so said, "Well it couldn't hurt."

Seeing her smile, he said, "I know all the hard work you've been putting into your training. But they haven't seen it, which is why I think the only reason they aren't going to be on full alert with our presence is because they will be underestimating you."

"It does make sense," Kiyomi said, "They would know Naruto wouldn't bring an untrained civilian into a possible military operation, especially one he has been seeing romantically." Focusing on her lover, she said, "Still this does hinge on Chu-li being the type of woman that you believe her to be. If she has revealed you have multiple lovers, they will suspect you have managed to keep other secrets from them."

"I know," Naruto admitted, "But that die has been cast already. Yugakure has accepted my request to stay there. I've requested one of their basic vacation packages for Ayame and mine's anniversary."

"Don't splurge on my account," Ayame said teasingly.

"Well, I suspect we'll be upgraded to one of their VIP packages," Naruto said with a smile.

Konan nodded before inquiring, "I take it that you believe that if they do, then they are going to be using the opportunity to try and get information from you."

"Or possibly try and put me in a position to blackmail me," Naruto replied with a nod, "Don't forget they'll likely know of my childhood wish to become Hokage. Not to brag but I like to think I tend to end up on most people's lists to do so. More than one person has been blackmailed by a mistake committed years earlier so they might just hold onto anything for a future date."

"But what are the benefits to even going?" Tsunade asked not exactly at ease with the idea.

"For now I just want to get an inside view of their operation," Naruto replied. "Furthermore, we might be able to use the information they have gathered at some point to our benefit." Seeing the women a little uncomfortable at what he was suggesting he quickly said, "I do not mean using it to blackmail anyone. But some of the secrets they have might shed light on mysteries that we are investigating. But, people opposed to us might only be because of some leverage Bora has and removing that leverage works to our advantage. Plus, there's just something else…"

When her son trailed off, Kushina asked, "What do you mean, Honey?"

Naruto thought for a moment before explaining, "Well, you wonder why I'm so sure Chun-li is an ally and I feel it's because she hates what her village has become. I guess you could say it kind of feels like Chun-li is worried her village is losing its soul. She said that although she had planned to give the scroll to Bora, she also had planned to make a copy to find out why he wanted it back so bad. I guess Bora wasn't afraid of her doing such because he had it for so long but had been unable to translate it."

"He could have been unconcerned for another reason though," Naruko suggested. "He could have planned to simply eliminate her if she succeeded. It is possible that he did the same to that Anbu kunoichi Taki, which would explain why her trail has gone cold."

Naruto nodded in agreement, "Yes that is indeed possible. Chun-li was aware of Taki's mission to hunt down Kanji. She was shocked to learn about what happened to her, not to mention that she hadn't heard of her return. However, it could be due to the fact that she had only kept sporadic contact with Yugakure since accepting the mission to find the scroll. That contact was nonexistent while she operated as the studio's head of security so as to not tip anyone off. But learning what happened to her is something I think we can all agree is important. She does after all have information on the Binding, and the scroll. She also saw my face and would know I have a harem of stunningly beautiful and talented women tied to me."

"Which if she did return to Yugakure, my love, and Bora had her eliminated means she was likely tortured for everything she knows," Tsunade said worriedly, "Which also means it doesn't matter if Chun-li doesn't talk, they might already know."

"That thought had occurred to me," Naruto admitted, "But, Bora likely would have already made his move if that were the case. He also wouldn't have needed to bother with finding the scroll either."

Tsunade sighed. "I still don't like it, but I can see your mind is made up." She moved to sit in an available chair before asking, "So then why don't you tell us why you actually summoned us here."

Naruto indicated the blue-haired woman sitting next to him before stating, "Actually, Konan was the one that asked to speak with everyone. I'll let her explain."

Konan stood feeling a little nervous at what she was about to suggest so took a steading breath before stating, "Back during the celebration of Whirling Tides opening, I asked Naruto to give his blessing to my restarting Akatsuki. I want to return it to the purpose Yahiko originally envisioned. As always, he was nothing but supportive, as to why I asked to meet with you… I now ask that you will also lend me your support."

"How so?" Naruko asked confused.

"In various ways," Konan explained. Focusing on Kiyomi she said, "In the beginning Akatsuki was supported finically by citizens who supported our goals. When Tobi took over, we turned to illegal means of supporting the organization. Naturally, with this return to the right path it would help greatly if we could count on the support of the Great Tree Shipping Company."

"Well I guess that explains my presence," Kiyomi said amused. But a frown appeared seconds later as she said, "However, I do not know if that will be wise."

Konan frowned as did Naruto who quickly said, "Kiyomi…"

The red-head held up her hand to explain her position, "Naruto, as much as I can understand what you are trying to do in redeeming Konan's friends' dream. The fact of the matter remains most people remember Akatsuki as a terrorist organization. A group, that did a lot of harm, and can also harm the reputations of those associated with it. This I'm sad to say includes those that offer it financial support. If the Great Tree Shipping Company is shown to be too closely associated with Akatsuki then any future inroads for expansion will likely not be made in countries bearing ill will to it. This can also be the case for Countries where your influence has just reached, as would be the case with the Land of Rice Paddies."

"What do you mean?" Mikoto asked.

Kiyomi indicated one of her daughters to say proudly, "Please fill everyone in Naruko."

Naruko smiled before stating, "I've recently had a breakthrough in reestablishing Master Jiraiya's spy network. A major hub of it was actually located in Konoha, which I guess shouldn't have been a surprise. It turns out that while the information had been drying up as the funds to support it dwindled; enough was still coming in. This information included who was being chosen to replace the slain Rice Daimyo." Focusing on Konan the blonde woman continued, "The new Daimyo is going to be a woman named Chiyo. She was the daughter of the Daimyo from the Land of This before it was destroyed by Sasori. It turns out her family is the closest one related to the previous bloodline, and with her living in the Land of That as a guest it is felt her taking the thrown shouldn't upset the balance of power greatly."

Konan sat down feeling the weight of Akatsuki's past actions shattering her hopes before she could even begin, but Naruto placed his hand on hers stating, "We'll find a way Konan."

Konan smiled weakly but said, "Thank you, but perhaps it was foolish of me to think we could just restart it." Focusing on the fox Bijuu she added, "But I see what you mean. With the state of Rice's economy they would likely gladly open their trade routes to you, not to mention let you build a port in the north. That all goes away if the new Daimyo bears a grudge against Akatsuki and myself. Unfortunately, while Ame has benefitted from the alliance that distrust tends to keep people from hiring our shinobi so I do not have the resources to support a reborn Akatsuki."

"Would you not charge for Akatsuki's services?" Sage asked. "I'm sure there would be people willing to hire powerful ninja regardless of who they were associated with if the price was right."

"Unfortunately, those people tend to be working on the wrong side of the law," Konan said dejectedly. "People like the Daimyo of the Land of That for instances who was also the one that hired us to destroy This."

"Wait, what?!" Naruto said sitting up, "The Daimyo of That was the client."

"Yes why?"

Not sure what the implications could be he explained, "Because the bastard's son was in the village at the time of the attack. Why would he hire Akatsuki and put his boy in danger?"

"Likely to throw off any suspicion people might level towards him, especially as they doubled in size due to annexing This's territory," Tsunade explained receiving a nod from Konan.

"Indeed," the blue-haired woman stated, "Sasori had strict orders not to harm the boy, although he was free to make it look convincing. The fact that Chiyo survived could be said to be an unintended benefit. Particularly since by taking her in, they appeared to simply be good neighbors."

"Well it may have just paid huge dividends as well," Naruko added. "The Daimyo's boy Shu is engaged to her, which means the That Daimyo's family has just moved from a ruler of a minor city-state to a bona fide country."

"I can't believe Shu would be an active part of such a plot though," Naruto stated.

"He may not have been," Sage said in her usual gentle, but detached tone. "Yet, he might also not be the person that you remember. At some point he may have learned the truth of how his father acquired his neighbor's territory."

Naruto didn't want to imagine such a possibility, but inclined his head at it being a possibility. Also, there was no telling where he would side if he learned the truth of the matter even now. Making a mental note for Sasame to keep tabs on the people she may be answering to, he changed the subject, "Well, money issues notwithstanding, the other reason Konan wanted to speak with you is to ask for your strength."

"Huh?" his mother asked eloquently.

Mikoto laughed as she explained, "He means that where she needed Kiyomi's money, she wants us to fill in spots on Akatsuki's roster."

"That is essentially correct," Konan confirmed, "Although Tsunade's presence was due more to inform her of what I had planned as at some point I will need to make my pitch to the Kage of the Villages." Focusing on Ayame she added, "Your presence was unexpected though, but please don't take it to mean that I consider you weak. But it was Naruto that suggested for me to approach the rest of you."

Ayame smiled as she said, "Oh, don't worry. I'm aware enough to know I wouldn't qualify as an S-ranked fighter. Yet."

"Hey," Naruto said sounding slightly annoyed, "Why are you letting her off the hook?"

"Because I was just here to make you dinner when you made your, 'Do you really think I'd take Ayame into danger comment,'" Ayame said teasingly, "I know I wasn't invited for the, 'Would you like to join a group where the lowest ranked member is S-class meeting?'"

Naruto scowled at her until he broke into a smile when she stuck out her tongue. He looked around and saw his mother on the verge of pouting so asked, "What's wrong mom? This is what I thought you wanted, a way to kick ass and take names while helping with our ambition."

"Oh, I'm happy my darling son recognizes my strength and would suggest for me to join." Kushina looked like she was trying to find a polite way of phrasing her next words, but failing blurted, "But Honey, we just became lovers and after years of being haunted by your cock now you're asking me to move away. It's not fair." Mikoto laughed as did the other women causing Kushina to pout more as she stated in a petulant tone, "It's not funny."

"Oh, I've seen mothers having trouble letting go, K," Mikoto replied playfully, "but I think you just topped them all."

Konan felt her good cheer returning as she said, "True, you will be on the road some if you accept. But there is nothing to say you cannot call this place your base of operations. In fact my hope would be that you would. I want Akatsuki to act as a type of do-gooder organization. We will not be accepting money for missions, but traveling the country side to help those unable to hire a shinobi village. It should also allow us to respond to crises faster and allow us to alert The Family that much sooner."

"It also doesn't hurt to have members made up of villages that the previous incarnation had attacked in the past," Tsunade pointed out. "Still it will be a tough sell particularly to the Raikage. Suna would be another."

"Yes," Konan admitted positive Suna wasn't over Deidara's attack or nearly losing their Kazekage. "But, I believe with Karura's help I will be able to convince the council to support us."

"How?"

Answering, Naruko's question Kiyomi guessing stated, "I see, we aren't the first people you've approached. I take it Karura would be another woman you want to become a member."

"And she has already agreed," Konan said, "It will mean she vacates the seat that was created for her, but considering a few of the people that supported its creation were probably rather shocked to find out about her change in policies. I doubt they will put up much of a fuss. It might even cause them to support the decision. An empty spot will also appear on the council as a result."

Mikoto frowned as she asked, "Is it really worth the gamble that the person that takes it will not be a hardliner?"

Naruto nodded as he answered, "I believe the ability to be able to move freely is worth any potential headaches in Suna. Our ambition has taken root there so will not be so easily removed not without hurting its economy. But, if we can get Akatsuki off the ground then they can go where shinobi affiliated with a village cannot, and will be able to act as they please."

"But Honey, if the members are tied to Konoha or other villages won't people just accuse us of using the name Akatsuki as a front?" Kushina asked.

"Yes, there will undoubtedly be such charges," Naruto replied, "But that is another reason for you to be the women to join." Focusing on Fu, he explained, "Fu, as a former victim of an attack by Akatsuki your joining will send a powerful message that it isn't the same group in spirit." Moving on, he began to explain his ideas on why each of his lovers, excluding Sage, were best, "Naruko, joining would have allowed you to continue trying to reestablish Pervy Sage's spy network, which now that you seem to be on your way makes having a reason to move from place to place all the more important. It might hinder you some in places that do not want such a group traveling through their lands, but something tells me Pervy Sage had as much trouble traveling through them as well. Sage, you've been by your sister's side all this time and are a powerhouse in your own right so can continue to move with her without raising suspicions. Plus, your association with Konoha is superficial at best which should prevent people from leveraging the charge that we are using Akatsuki to handle village business under the table." Sage nodded in agreement so Naruto turned to his mother and Mikoto adding, "Mikoto, you have every reason to hate Konoha and have publicly turned down any offers to rejoin. It would be hard to imagine people would think that you would join a group advancing Konoha's plots, and mom; you were also a victim of the previous Akatsuki leader's attempt to capture Kiyomi. People might not know you were a jinchuriki, but they do know Tobi was behind the attack and believe that because of him you nearly died." Focusing on all of his lovers he stated, "The fact that you are all kickass ladies that have been hurt by the shinobi world just lends credence to the idea that you would want to act as a stabilizing force. I believe that in time, people would begin to turn to you knowing you are acting in the best interests of the helpless as opposed to even a shinobi village which might have an objective of its own."

"Well should such a change occur then I can say that we would be able to offer this reborn Akatsuki financial support," Kiyomi stated. "In the meantime though, it might be prudent to lend your support to Toki's calls to form a minor country alliance. There you can pitch Akatsuki as a countermeasure to outside influences."

Tsunade frowned before stating, "I'm not sure that would be a good idea. You wouldn't even need to mention it for people to know she was talking about Iwagakure."

"True," Kiyomi countered, "But, that would be something that I believe would be a huge selling point for the minor countries to sign off on. Particularly for those along Earth Country's western border. Plus, the idea of having a group with ten S-class warriors patrolling those lands would give even Iwa something to consider before enacting any plots. Not to mention, I imagine one of the first places the charges that Akatsuki is acting as the Alliances way to meddle in Iwa's plots without angering the Daimyo would originate from would be Earth Country. The best way to quiet those accusations would be to be operating in countries being affected by those plots with the permission of the rulers themselves."

Konan could see the benefits of Kiyomi's suggestion so said, "I will ask Toki to allow me to attend for such a purpose."

"Alright them," Ayame said attracting everyone's attention, "with that settled, let's eat." Naruto nodded and smiled as he watched his lovers move to dig into the large meal the ramen cook and waitress had made. Following after them, he felt confident that in time the Legacy of Akatsuki would be something that both his teacher and his deceased disciples would be proud of. Accepting a plate that Ayame had prepared, he also felt that it was to recapture the Legacy of those that came before that motivated Chun-li so was sure she would become a great ally for his ambition.
