Author's Notice:

The female villain who is in this chapter was the result of collaboration between me and my good friend Rictor Yagami who provided many of the key details and information for the creation and conception of the said female villain….as such, credit goes to him for his contributions to the creation of Naruto's first solo female opponent….who's title is the same as that of the chapter in question…The Dark Lady.

Many thanks Rictor!!!

In Konoha…

Naruto was busy doing a regular round of push-ups to build his strength and also to relax and get his muscles limber and loose for another round of learning sword combat techniques and some new Elemental spells. The blonde Chuunin however was busy thinking about how he was dealing with the new things happening in his life at this very moment. He was dealing with the fact that he had a new home to live in, courtesy of his dwarf comrades, Rumkil and Thorell Stone hand and Leena and her elven comrades. Not to mention the fact that he was now a Chuunin…

(I can't believe it….I'm a Chuunin….and soon, I can be a Jonin someday….this is so cool!!!!)

Naruto finished his training and summoned one of the essences of the Dragon Champions, Vane and as he was filled with the knowledge of the previous Dragon Champion, he took from a nearby weapon rack, a pair of Katanas and he kept Holy Talon on his back, and as he relaxed himself and cooled his breathing he stood before a massive number of wood targets and large numbers of dummies. The blonde ninja had placed the weapons on either side of his hips and when he felt relaxed….he drew the weapons out and opened his eyes and attacked quickly and effectively at the targets.

The Dragon Champion and Konoha ninja moved quickly and methodically as he understood that when fighting in the dual wielding style, one had to rely not entirely raw strength and power….but stamina, endurance, speed, agility, precision and power. The blonde moved quickly and lashed out with stabs, slashes and overhead strikes at the targets as wood and more were cut down by the blonde ninja as he dodged and moved accordingly. The blonde ninja used the knowledge of fighting with two long blades to perfect his ability to balance his hands and become more ambidextrous and that gave him a greater sense of fluidity and motion, plus it built up his speed as both swords were of equal weight and balance….thus required equal skill and strength to properly wield both weapons and to perfect one's skills with blades.

Naruto continued his training and movements as the blades bit into their targets and cut them down with effective cuts and stabs and he moved through with good speed and balance and as he was finally able to finish his training, he relaxed and as he placed away the swords….he heard a knock on his door and took a nearby towel and wiped his sweat away and rushed to open the door as the knocking increased at the moment.

“All right, all right already!!!!”

Naruto opened the door and was greeted by a certain novel, though as far as he can tell….it had a new title and images to boot. And it was then accompanied by a certain voice and a certain figure.

“Hey there Naruto….like my new book?”

“PERVY SAGE!!!!”

Later…

Jiraiya sat down and drank from the cup that Naruto had as the blonde Chuunin got a pack of food for his guest….despite the fact he was not all that comfortable with the idea of having the ninja world's greatest pervert in his house. But he didn't worry too much….after all, he owed Jiraiya a good deal, since he taught him the Rasengan and also got him to meet Tsunade who was one of the people he respected….though in more ways than one.

Jiraiya finished his drink and looked at Naruto's house and whistled.

“You've really done good for yourself my boy….not only are you a Chuunin now, but you own a house like this….you did great….namely with that date you had with Hinata, nice moves on that occasion.”

Naruto gave the Toad Sage and erotic novelist a slight glare and spoke.

“You were watching the whole thing?”

“Of course I was….you think I would miss out on seeing you go out on your first official date? I'd be an idiot to do that. So how was it by the way….I was only using my telescope to see the whole thing and I had some work to do.”

“Making more content for those books of yours?”

“Pretty much….of course….keeping an eye on Akatsuki was part of the job description as well. They have been pretty busy lately….they have been moving about in their usual team formations of two members each…not to mention I've been seeing a number of ninja moving about that have the same trademark of theirs….”

“What do you mean by that Pervy Sage?”

“You remember the forehead protectors Itachi Uchiha and the former Mist Swordsman named Kisame? Well….as far as I understand it….when they formed Akatsuki, it's traditional for them to gash the forehead protector to show that they no longer uphold the ideal of their former village and no longer follow their traditions. From what I saw however….these ninja are from Rain Country….which is strange as there have been no news from the place for a long time.”

“Really….what's the deal with the silence?”

Jiraiya shook his head and replied.

“You should have read your history no matter how boring it might seem to you at first….that way you would understand at the moment. Rain Country was the site of some of the greatest and most bloody battles in the Third Ninja Wars….when, Orochimaru was still part of Konoha though he was already walking towards betraying the village, Tsunade, and I were younger, we fought in those wars and even fought in Rain Country….it's usually a country filled with refugees from the wars as it was in the middle of three of the great countries. The government used to be nearly non existent and no sense of order was there….until recently the Land was in a state of unending civil war that only stopped when some unknown ninja became the village head. T he fact that their ninja wear the forehead protectors with the same gash on Akatsuki forehead protectors is very odd unless someone in the country is a member of Akatsuki itself and that is what worries me at the moment. The idea of a member of Akatsuki leading a country is a very unpleasant thought at the moment.”

Naruto thought it over and had to agree with Jiraiya….and he then decided to try out a suggestion.

“Why not go to the Land of Rain and see for ourselves if this guy is a member of Akatsuki?”

Jiraiya gave the blonde Chuunin a very amused look and replied in answer to Naruto's question.

“Not a bad idea….but we need to get more details first before jumping the gun at the moment, we need to plan things out first before we just go there half cocked. Rain might be calmer now….but I get the feeling that their peace was won through a very brutal method at the moment.”

Jiraiya thought about that and he was himself very curious on just who the leader was that finally silenced the wars that were tearing Rain apart that much at the time. But for now….the new movements of Akatsuki worried him….they would have gone looking for other things but now they all seemed intent on other more important matters.

The Sanin however decided to place those thoughts aside and see how Naruto had been doing ever since his promotion to Chuunin and he could see that Naruto had done well form himself for the past few weeks and had been working long and hard to be where he was at this point and time and he couldn't help but feel proud of the young man who was dear to him in a very special way…after all, if it hadn't been for Naruto, the legacy of the Fourth would have faded….not just the legacy of his sacrifice….but his family's own as well. Jiraiya nearly felt like shedding a tear and Naruto noted that very quickly.

“Hey Pervy Sage….don't tell me your crying or something.”

“Not your concern kid….but I have to say….you're doing well….but keep in mind, there's always going to be another challenge waiting on the horizon so you have to be ready for those kinds of situations when the time comes….don't relax just yet and be ready for anything because you'll never know what happens in the future.”

“Thanks for the advice….so where are you off to now?”

“I have to head for the Hokage Tower to drop off a report to Tsunade again about Akatsuki's recent movements and also do my usual research….if you know what I mean.”

“Again? You're darn lucky the women here haven't caught you peeking at them just yet you perverted old man. Someday that stuff your doing is going to come back to haunt you.”

Jiraiya then smirked at that and replied.

“At least I love to see women in their best….what about you….have YOU seen women when they are at their most beautiful?”

“What are you blabbering about?”

“You've never seen a woman naked before have you? And I'm NOT talking about those pictures you see in the magazines….I am talking the REAL deal kid.”

“Knock it off you perverted old man before you give me way too much to think about at night!!!!”

Jiraiya laughed at the deep red blush on the blonde ninja's face and he spoke once more.

“You'll get your turn soon enough Naruto and you'll find out how right it can be to actually see the beauty of women first hand.”

As Jiraiya left….Naruto slapped his forehead and began to laugh as he recalled the words the Pervy sage spoke of and he walked back into his dining room and grabbed some of the rice cakes that Jiraiya had not eaten while he was in the house. As the blonde finished the short meal, he couldn't help but think back on a very important occasion that really got him into serious hot water at the time….and while he had tried to get out of it….a part of his more primal male side was happy that he didn't. he then had a thought and laughed even more as his memories of the day came back.

(Thank Kami the Pervy Sage didn't find out about that….if he did, I'd never hear the end of it…)

Naruto then thought back on that incident that made him very much familiar with women in ways he never thought he would learn likewise…it might have not been what he expected….but life did have a way of throwing surprises down one's direction when one least expected it. And the incident was one hell of a surprise to boot.

--------

Flashback to three days ago…

Naruto was tired as he made his way into the hot springs to have a break after his latest mission with his team and Kakashi as well. The Jonin had kept the sword Naruto had forged for him as a reserve weapon in a scroll for easier carrying at the moment, Sakura had gotten used to the knowledge that she had Dragon Fire in her body and it had melded with her chakra…making her chakra more potent and powerful as well…and Sasuke….well…he was still the same silent and brooding type….though Naruto worried a bit about the stares the Uchiha would give to Holy Talon and his sword did tell him that it was not trusting the way Sasuke had been acting these past few days…

(Ahhh….no time to think that for now….time to relax and enjoy a good hot soak.)

As Naruto took off his clothes and placing Holy Talon aside, the Chuunin stepped into the spring and marveled at the warmth of the spring and he was eager to finally take a good, long, well deserved soak in the water. As he relaxed, he lowered his defenses for the time being and closed his eyes….as such he lost track of time….and after what seemed like a moment to his relaxed mind….he spoke out loudly….knowing that he was the only one in the hot spring at the moment.

“Ahhhhh…..nothing like a hot spring…”

It was then that Naruto finally got the hint that he was not alone, he had company….and the company he had at the moment were not of the same male gender as he was used to at the moment….rather, it was the company of the….female persuasion.

“You said it….this is the best cure for a long day in the office!”

“I agree Tsunade-sama….I've been looking forward to this for weeks!!!”

“I agree Shizune.”

“The same goes for me….that last mission was hard.”

“Oh yeah….nothing like a nice hot spring soak….and having a hot looking guy for company is certainly a bonus….right ladies?”

(WHAT THE?!)

Naruto quickly opened his eyes and turned to see just where the voices came from and to his total surprise….as Tsunade was on one side with Shizune as well, while Anko and Kurenai were also on the other side on where he had been resting in a very comfortable fashion previously, the fact that the four Kunoichi were in the hot spring were with him was not the only fact that he was digesting in his mind at the very moment….the second fact was that the four women who were in the waters of the hot spring…were only wearing towels…

That was enough for Naruto finally ask the question that was plaguing his mind at the very moment that he heard those voices.

“W-W-WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING HERE?! DID I WALK INTO THE FEMALE SIDE OR SOMETHING?!”

The Kunoichi couldn't help but snicker at Naruto who was blushing bright red and was standing there with the funniest expression they had ever seen and Tsunade couldn't blame the blonde ninja for the reaction, apparently Naruto had no idea about this particular day in Konoha's social circle…the blonde Hokage then replied.

“No you didn't wander into the women's section of the hot spring Naruto-kun….this is `Mixed Bathing Day `.”

“What?!”

Kurenai smiled and replied.

“That's right Naruto-kun….twice a month, the hot springs resorts in Konoha allow men and women to bathe together….that's why it's called Mixed Bathing day…”

“Yeah….and it seems to be your lucky day kid….you just got us all for company….”

Anko said with a very perverted smirk on her face…and the way her eyes traveled Naruto's form was very suggestive of what she had in mind. That was enough for Naruto to realize that he was buck naked and only had a silk towel to hide his privates…he quickly ducked down and tried to hide….but the excitable Jonin was having none of it and grabbed Naruto's arm and she then dragged the blonde ninja closer to her, and the others as well…

Naruto found himself surrounded by the women and he was hard pressed in keeping himself from reacting to the sight of Kurenai, Anko, Tsunade, and Shizune naked, though they did have towels wrapped about their bodies which hid their….assets, the towel did little to hide their forms from his eyes….Naruto felt like he was going to faint at the fact that all four women were on either side.

(Kami….what the heck am I going to do?!)

Naruto quickly realized that a certain part of his anatomy was beginning to get rather active and he quickly looked about and saw that all four women were currently relaxing and seemed not to notice his discomfort and arousal at the moment. He hoped that once the women had relaxed, they would be asleep and he could at least sneak away…

However…

Say Naruto-kun….can you do me a favor?”

Naruto turned and saw Shizune with an impish smile on her face and he gulped a bit as he blushed bright red and the other women noted that as well, Tsunade was curious what exactly Shizune had in mind at the moment and so were Anko and Kurenai. Naruto managed to get his mind to work and he spoke carefully, hoping he didn't make himself look like an idiot.

“W-What sort of favor….Shizune-san?”

“Can you wash my back for me?”

“W-W-Wash your…back?!”

“Yes Naruto-kun, it is just a simple thing you know.”

Naruto gulped as he looked at Shizune's wet back and he felt his body begin to react once more and he tried his hardest not to let the other Kunoichi see it. He gulped and tried to say something but Shizune turned and gave him a very cute pleading look.

“Please Naruto-kun….there's nothing wrong with you washing my back is there?”

“Uh….no!!! I….all right….”

“Thank you Naruto-kun! The sponge is there on the side….take it and you can start washing my back….I can't reach there at times and I don't get to do this a lot.”

Naruto gulped and he went to the sponge that Shizune pointed to and with the fact that Tsunade, Anko, and Kurenai were in the pool and looking at him was certainly playing merry hell on his nerves at the moment. He reached Shizune's back and then he slowly began to rub the soft sponge on Shizune's back and the moans that Shizune gave as he cleansed her back was having an affect on him at the moment and it was testing his self control at the moment.

“That's it Naruto-kun….that feels really good…you're hands feel good as well….”

“Thanks….”

It was then that Kurenai was on his right side and the blonde gulped as he could see her cleavage at the moment to his right and he couldn't help but see her smile in a very mischievous way towards him at the moment. The fact that the undeniably sexy red eyed Jonin was this close to him….and only a thin towel prevented him from seeing her body in full light was not lost to the blonde Chuunin. Kurenai could tell that Naruto was really having a hard time controlling himself at the moment as much as she wished not to do this at the moment….she couldn't resist for too long as she found his reactions very cute…

“Say Naruto-kun….can you wash my back after your done?”

“Ummm…”

Kurenai went closer and her breasts plus her naked form touched Naruto's arm and he gulped out loudly at the moment and she couldn't help but smile a bit at how shy the blonde ninja was and this reminded her quickly of the time back in the pool when he was in the escort mission of the medical supply convoy weeks before.

“Come on Naruto-kun….it's not a bad thing you know.”

“I guess…”

Naruto knew that he was walking on hot water at the moment when it came to talking with Kurenai while he was in the spring with her, Shizune, Anko, AND Tsunade at the same time. He was hoping this pleasurable torture would end at the moment before he passed out or did something even more embarrassing.

That option however was taken out his hands at the moment as he felt another person on the other side of him….and when he turned….it was none other than Anko herself who was smiling in a very sexy fashion on Naruto at the moment. The excitable and very much aroused Jonin smiled and spoke to him as well.

“And when you're done with Kurenai-san….then can you wash MY back to?”

Naruto had no way to say anything yet as Anko came closer to him and he was trying his best not react as both Kurenai and Anko pressed ever closer to him from the sides and it was taking all of his willpower not to pass out as both women were around him and the knowledge that he was buck naked and so were they and only towels as thin as one can get were covering them at the moment. He felt his body begin to heat up to the point that he was amazed he was not steaming like meat in a pot himself at the moment. He wished that he could just fade away before…

He was too late as he felt a pair of large but soft and firm objects touch his back and he didn't need to turn to know that Tsunade had joined the act at the moment and was leaning on his back and before he could do anything, the blonde Hokage then spoke to him in a very seductive voice….she rarely used that voice in public and now she was speaking in his ear…

“Don't forget to wash my back as well Naruto-kun….”

Naruto gulped out loud and managed to muster enough of his wits to finish his cleaning of Shizune's back and he spoke to Shizune in a very tense voice at that moment as he tried his very best to resist his body's reactions to the fact that the blonde Hokage had her breasts on his back and her arms on him as well as speaking seductively near him, as well as the fact that the red eyed Jonin was on one side of him and her breasts were touching his arm at the moment as well as her form was next to his as well, and of course the fact that Anko was right next to him as well and her considerable breasts were also on his other side and his naked form was right next to him as well. The blonde was able to finally finish washing Shizune's back and he spoke.

“I'm done….washing your back Shizune-san….”

Shizune turned and then without any fanfare….she was now pressing herself on Naruto's front and she smiled at him and that was the final blow to Naruto's self control….and who could blame the blonde Chuunin? Here he was at this moment and time…

In a hot spring naked….

With only a thin cloth towel shielding his privates…

And he was surrounded by four of the most attractive female Jonin in the village…and they were in the same states as he was.

Naruto had no idea what to do at the moment, but fate had other ideas as Shizune felt a certain something poking her stomach and when she looked down through the steam and water….she spotted a very familiar part of male anatomy that was at full attention and she gasped…and then looked at Naruto in a very sly and sensual way as she reached downwards

“Oh my….Naruto-kun, you are getting very much into this aren't you?”

Naruto gulped at the seductive tone in Shizune's voice and it was not long for the other three Kunoichi to get the meaning and they looked at Naruto who was so red in the face that eh would have passed for a tomato at the moment and then all four of them smiled, with Tsunade speaking to him first…

“Don't worry Naruto-kun….that's a normal reaction for a boy your age…and we're not offended….actually, it's considered a point of pride for a woman when a man reacts this way to her as it tells her that the man finds her attractive and desirable….do you find any of us desirable Naruto-kun?”

Naruto nodded and that was what made all four women smile warmly at him and it was then that Kurenai spoke to him about something she had asked him before.

“Don't forget Naruto-kun….you have to wash my back “

With that done….Kurenai moved and showed her back to Naruto and he couldn't help but do as she asked for the time being….he was past the walls of thinking now and was washing Kurenai's back and she enjoyed that sensations of the sponge on her back and Naruto was surprised to suddenly feel a sponge on his own back and that was then she felt two other sponges join into the situation at the moment. The rest of the day for Naruto was spent washing the backs of the four Kunoichi and they paid him back as well, by massaging his back and he had to admit that it was actually not so bad….though he did keep in mind that he was still very much naked and so were they. He was still very much aroused and the female ninja were more than happy to tease him as well. Naruto had to resist the fact that when the women moved about….their bodies were very much seen as the towels did little to hide their soaked, and undeniably naked forms at the moment.

Tsunade then spoke to the two women and they decided to up the ante by asking Naruto to massage their backs in payment….but with the added bonus of them removing their towels as they lay down and Naruto passed out and he fell on the ground with a thud….and as soon as he was able to wake up…he found himself on the ground…and the second his eyes got back to focus…

(OH MY GOD!!!!!)

Naruto found himself surrounded by the four female ninja….this time….they did NOT have the towels on and he could see them in their full nakedness…and the fact that the four women had very well formed, large, soft and firm….cleavage made Naruto blush bright red and that allowed all four of the Kunoichi to see him not ONLY blush but see a certain part of his anatomy get even harder, all four women, despite being older than Naruto….couldn't help but blush and lick their lips a bit at the size of Naruto's….package….the blonde ninja couldn't help but feel like he was in heaven Kurenai, Shizune, and Tsunade were enjoying the sight before them….and Anko couldn't help herself as she leaned forward and placed her breasts on Naruto's chest and teased him.

“Ooh….easy there…we don't want you to pass out just yet.”

Naruto felt like he had his tongue in knots at the moment and he was going to faint yet again and then the four women helped him up and he was what most guys would have considered heaven…Tsunade was holding him at the back with her very considerable bust on top of his head….Shizune was on the right and Kurenai was on the left and Anko was right there on the front. If any man came into the spring at this point and time….they were going to kill him right on the spot for this action….but at this point Naruto was past caring at the moment what the other men would think….he was here and now and he was enjoying every second of this. Tsunade and the others were also enjoying the moment and things were getting REALLY hot and steamy at the moment, Tsunade then spoke to Naruto.

“Time for you get to know how to please a woman with a kiss Naruto-kun….and now is a good a time as any!”

“Huh?!”

Shizune blushed and Anko was grinning like a hungry predator cornering a meal at long last while Kurenai was also blushing but she was eager to see how this will turn out….after all, she had been in a situation like this before and as much as this was rather unorthodox to say the least….she was keen to see just how this situation was going to turn out and before Naruto could say anything at the moment, Tsunade quickly kissed him in a very hot and torrid fashion….Naruto was naturally stunned by that and before he could do anything, he found himself responding to the kiss and he gently touched his tongue with Tsunade's own and she smiled at that and guided him gently and he quickly responded and got the hang of it…making the blonde Hokage smile at that.

(He learns fast….I guess with his ability to learn the Rasengan in only a week, he can get the hang of kissing easily.)

The two kissed one another for a minute or two longer and then Tsunade moved away and smiled at the very lost and amazed look on Naruto's face and she and the other Kunoichi smiled and when Naruto managed to get his wits back and his brain back in working order….at least to some degree anyway, she spoke to him.

“Did you like that Naruto-kun?”

Naruto nodded and Tsunade spoke to him….she knew she was REALLY pushing the limits of their relationship now but she wanted Naruto to learn how to please a woman….as sooner or later he would be in a situation like that and she wanted him to be able to know how to please a woman properly.

“That was a French Kiss….unlike a normal kiss….you and your lady partner will move each other's tongues in your mouths. It can be very pleasurable….but do it gently so the two of you can enjoy it properly….why don't you try it with the others?”

Naruto looked at Tsunade and silently asked if she was all right with it and she nodded and as he walked over to Shizune….the dark haired Jonin blushed and nodded as the two of them kissed and Naruto gently ran his lips on Shizune's own lips, and the Jonin giggled a bit before she responded by slowly opening her mouth and Naruto gently rubbed his tongue on her teeth and gums…making the Jonin moan a bit and she opened her mouth more as Tsunade leaned in and once more…pressed her breasts on Naruto's back and whispered.

“Good….you have to be gentle with some women….but others like me at times or maybe Anko would like you to be rougher and more direct….keep in mind to know the woman before you kiss her Naruto-kun…and relax….no one else apart from us is here today.”

Naruto didn't quite hear that as he was still kissing Shizune and then as he understood how it was done he got the hang of it and parted from Shizune. The Jonin blushed and replied.

“That was a great kiss Naruto-kun.”

Anko however was not going to wait as she was getting hot herself and she made it clear to Naruto that it was going to be her turn. And the blonde Genin had no time but to respond to Anko's actions as she kissed him roughly. The same thing happened though Anko was a lot more aggressive than Tsunade as well…and as he got the hang of it….Anko began to slowly relax a bit and then after they were done….Anko then moved away and gave Naruto a pat on the cheek and smiled at him.

“Not bad kid….some more practice is in order though.”

Kurenai then moved in and she grabbed Naruto's head and amazingly….she kissed him first….and it was then that she showed a combination of Anko's aggressiveness, and Shizune's hesitation and Tsunade noted that and spoke to Naruto.

“Some women are both aggressive and gentle at the same time Naruto-kun….you have to work double hard for that but the results will be good for you and the lady in question.”

Naruto wondered just how he would do that and he tried teasing Kurenai first and then giving her ground and kissing back and the way Kurenai moaned told him that he was getting some progress done with his actions and that was a good thing in his mind at the moment as he continued to kiss the red eyed Jonin

However, it didn't take long for the fun to end as the day was getting shorter and the heat was fading and night was coming into the area and the women were getting a bit uncomfortable in the cold and so….they reluctantly parted and Naruto and company got dressed once more…and the manager could only shake her head at the moment after all that she had been doing….but she couldn't help but smirk a little bit and say to herself.

“You have got to love Mixed Bathing Day…”

As the five people left the hot springs….the four Kunoichi smiled and looked at Naruto and Tsunade spoke.

“Now that was the longest Mixed Bathing Day I have had…and it was certainly something worth keeping close….right ladies?'

“Oh yes!!!”

Naruto gulped at that as he recalled how close he was to losing his virginity this day, and he was not happy with the result of night coming in and they women could see it and Shizune spoke gently.

“Don't worry Naruto-kun….you've done nothing wrong and what we did will be between all of us….and you've learn just how to kiss a woman. You'll make a special woman very happy someday with what you've learned.”

Anko then teased Naruto a bit more.

“And what you've learned can really be an aid when you and her do the deed….and IF you do decide to go to the more…..numerous crowd….well….you know what to….at least when it comes to kissing anyway.”

Naruto blushed and all four women smiled and bid Naruto farewell with kisses on the cheek, though Anko licked Naruto's cheek after her kiss and they left….making Naruto stand there for a bit longer until his growling stomach reminded him that he had to eat right now.

End of Flashback…

Naruto shook his head at the memories that inspired; ever since that incident….he had been taking a LOT of cold showers to calm himself as he had the images play many times in his head. Of course…his wayward imagination was not content with just having the images of the four women who he was with at the time.

He would be imagining him in the same situation with Sakura, Temari, Ino, Kin, Hinata, Tenten, Ayame….and he was having a much harder time with those feelings at the moment that it was sometimes maddening for him. He managed to relax and got up and wondered what was he going to do now and Holy Talon decided to speak to it's master.

((“Are you all right Master Naruto?”))

(A little….just having a trip down memory lane….)

((“Ahhh….those memories again….relax Master Naruto….I have no doubts in my mind that you are not the first man to be in that situation and you certainly will not be the last to be in that kind of situation….though I have to admit that the situation was certainly…interesting.”))

(Interesting doesn't cut it….man, if the Pervy sage found out about that, I would be really in hot water.)

((“I agree on that part Master Naruto….hmmmm….we have a guest coming in.”))

Naruto got up and wondered just who was there as Holy Talon was on his back, as he walked over to his home's door, and opened it, he got a very interesting surprise at the moment, and for good reason as the person who was there.

“Sakura-chan? What brings you here? I thought you were training with Tsunade today?”

Sakura smiled a bit and replied.

“She gave me some time off at the moment I've done all my chores for the past hours with my parents, so I figured I could come by and see how you are doing….plus talking about this new healing power I have is important to me at the moment, and since you know more about the power in me….who better to talk to than you….May I come in?”

“Sure! You can come in anytime Sakura-chan!”

Sakura entered Naruto's home and found herself once more in awe of the home that Naruto had with him at the moment and also wondered if Kin was planning to move in with Naruto and that was something that she decided to keep an eye on. As they entered the living room, Naruto excused himself to get some food and drink for her and this allowed Sakura some time to both indulge in the surroundings and the privacy….but also about her soon to come plans for something she had been dying to do.

When Naruto came back with some sushi in a bowl with chopsticks and a bowl of sauce and two glasses and some cool tea, the two sat down and they began to relax as they ate the light meal that Naruto got from the kitchen at the moment. As they did so, Naruto began to explain some of the basics of Life Magic to Sakura and the ever eager pink haired Kunoichi listened to what Naruto had to say at the moment and she was eager to learn about this power she had….and while it was bit shocking to know that it was inside of her….it proved to be something she could use to her advantage greatly. This would help her in her training under Tsunade as a medic nin as well, she had approached the Hokage earlier to become less of a burden to her team and to her happiness, Tsunade accepted her as a student and she had begun her training only a few weeks ago, bother mother and father were happy to learn that their daughter was going to be a Sannin's apprentice and to their new Hokage nonetheless. It was a point of pride to her and her family as Tsunade had said that she was a great student as she had possessed the right level of chakra control to be a medic nin, and both her parents were happy for her as well.

Sakura smiled as she digested the information and decided to ask Naruto how to use Dragon Fire more effectively and Naruto could already see how the Dragon Fire was affecting Sakura….she had grown a bit taller and even her figure began to show an increased growth and maturity…signs that her Dragon Fire reserves were manifesting already and reconditioning her body to accept the changes as well. He placed that thought aside for the moment and continued to talk to Sakura about the situation she was in with her new found powers.

As the day wore on, Sakura decided to spring her surprise on Naruto.

“Naruto-kun….do you have free time tomorrow?”

Naruto thought about it and the next day was a Saturday actually, plenty of free time for him at the moment and since he had learned to take breaks once in a while and enjoy life as well as have fun to break and relax a bit, the next was certainly going to be worth the wait.

“Not right now….why do you ask Sakura-chan?”

Sakura blushed a bit and then spoke.

“I know that you want to hear this from, so I'll do it for tomorrow…”

“”Uh….I don't quite understand Sakura-chan, what are you saying?”

Sakura smiled and then spoke.

“I want to know….would you like to go out on a date with me tomorrow Naruto-kun?”

Naruto was flabbergasted as he looked at Sakura at the moment…

Sakura was asking him out….on a date?! An honest to Kami date?! Was he dreaming this again?! He mentally pinched himself and was now assured that what he had heard was not a dream or fantasy and he managed to get his mouth to work once more and he could see that Sakura meant those words and there was no way he was dreaming it at the moment as he was wide awake. He looked at Sakura's blushing face and replied.

“You….want to go out with me?! Are you serious Sakura-chan?!”

Sakura gave him a glare and replied softly…

“Why….am I already too ordinary for you?”

“No!!! No!!! I didn't mean to sound insulting….it's just….unexpected.”

“I guess….but would you go out on a date with me?”

“Of course I would Sakura-chan, and I mean it….I'll pick you up at your place?”

Sakura nodded and smiled as Naruto utterly happy as well and no doubt his smile was the same kind that was on her face as well. The two talked it over and decided to plan just a few places that they heard were good places for a date to play out and as soon as that was done, Sakura bid Naruto farewell and so did he and he was smiling all the while and as he closed the door, Sakura couldn't help herself and snuck in to peek and saw that Naruto was actually getting ready and was pacing back and forth as well as checking his frog wallet and seeing the smile on his face told her that he was going to make sure that their date was going to work out well for both of them.

As she walked away….she thought back on how she had finally made the decision.

--------

Flashback….two days ago…

Tsunade was watching Sakura's progress and she admired the fact that despite her lack of other ninja skills, Sakura, levelheadedness, intellect, skills, understanding of all basic ninja skills, and her chakra control actually made her excellent Medic nin material and she knew that her parents were very happy that their daughter was her second apprentice at the moment, and Shizune was also able to show her the records of Sakura's time in the Academy and she was interested to see her scores….no bloodline traits or any of the sort….just a normal Kunoichi but fairly well rounded and her chakra control was top notch, not like Sasuke, or Naruto before getting Holy Talon.

Sakura currently learning how to regulate her chakra at the moment and was using a small rabbit as a test subject, the rabbit had injured it's right hind leg and needed proper healing to set the bone right and Sakura was doing well enough as she dedicated herself to being a medic nin.

(She has great potential….I am glad that there is someone in Konoha with the same level of charka control, though hers is a bit more refined.)

As the Hokage watched her student's progress at the moment she was able to see that Naruto words to her about Sakura having Dragon Fire in her blood that augmented her chakra were very true as her chakra was stronger now and a lot more effective in healing wounds and injuries….and since it was Dragon Fire, she decided to ask Naruto if he could train Sakura on the art of using her new and growing reserve of Dragon Fire to her advantage when the time came Naruto was the only person in all of Konoha to know how to use Dragon Fire quite effectively in both peace and war.

“All done.”

Tsunade checked the rabbit's leg and nodded….Sakura's training was touch and go at first as she had to train the young Kunoichi on the art of basic Medical Jutsu techniques and when she grasped it quite easily and began to improve….the blonde Sannin's impressions of Sakura grew…

“Nicely done….more training is required but for now you can relax a bit Sakura.”

“Thank you Hokage-sama….by the way….”

“Hmmmm? What is it Sakura?”

“I wanted to ask….if I….I could ask Naruto out on a date?”

Tsunade raised an eye-brow at that as she looked at Sakura at the moment and tried to digest what she heard. She had expected this to happen at some point and looked at Sakura and wondered just why she would come to her and ask her permission to date Naruto, that was the thing that made her somewhat curious.

“Why ask me? You could just ask Naruto-kun directly right?”

“I know…..but I just wanted to be sure that it is all right with you.”

Tsunade chuckled and knew that this had to do with the fact that she liked Naruto as well and actively pursued the young man and since she was Sakura's master at the moment, it would make sense that Sakura wanted to be sure that she was not going to come into conflict with anyone at the moment.

“It's all right, I did say that I would provide you ladies with competition for his affections, but I'm not going to take him all for myself.”

“Thank you Hokage-sama.”

“Just make sure to be nice and cordial Sakura.”

“Hai!”

--------

End of Flashback…

She recalled telling her parents about her plan and both her parents were surprised and were agreeing with the whole thing. Ginji liked the idea of his daughter going on a date with a guy he approved of and Naruto had won his approval and Sakura's mother Hazumi Haruno was in approval as she had seen Naruto's battles and hearing about he had saved her daughter's life. When she had told them that she was going to ask him today they agreed to help her get ready for the big day.

As soon as she got home, she greeted her father and mother while they were getting diner ready, with Ginji asking his daughter how it all went.

“So how did it go dear?”

Sakura smiled and blushed a bit.

“Naruto-kun accepted it.”

Ginji smiled while Hazumi also smiled and Sakura's mother replied.

“Then you had better get ready for your coming date dear, after dinner I'll get you some things that may help you in your coming date.”

--------

The next day…

Naruto checked himself once more in the mirror to see if he had groomed himself well enough for the coming date. He wore a white shirt underneath his black and orange lined gi top, with a blue cloth belt and black pants with orange lining on the sides and he completed the suit with black sandals. He took his Konoha forehead protector and tied on his head and placed Holy Talon on his back and then decided to get his wallet which he had filled with plenty of bills for the date….and Holy Talon spoke to it's master.

((“You seem to be very ready for this.”))

(Yeah…I've been hoping for this in a while now….though I hope Hinata-san doesn't see this, I don't want Hinata to think that I'm being a playboy.)

((“True….very true….but you have made it this far Master Naruto….you might as well see this through to the very end.”))

(Right, come on, I think Sakura-chan is already waiting for us.)

Naruto left his home and went towards Konoha and he got a number of stares from many of the villagers at the moment, while some still had the dirty looks, others were a lot more accepting of the matter and he walked to his old apartment and saw that it was finally being constructed….he had used a small amount of the diamonds he had made from coal with Transmutation to have his old place properly furbished and repaired for Kin and the former Sound Kunoichi was happy for the changes as well and she proved it by making a good meal for him when the place was fully repaired and he had a meal there. Right now Kin was being assigned to a new squad and it appeared that she might be assigned to work with Zabuza and Haku….though they needed another member to join their squad to make it complete. Zabuza took on the role well and was also using the newly forged sword that Naruto had made for him.

Naruto had taken up the art of being a blacksmith and made a small number of powerful blades, two of which were in the hands of Kakashi and the other with Zabuza….he had offered to make a sword for Sasuke but the dark haired Uchiha refused and walked away. That made Naruto even more curious on what was that the plan of his team-mate.

He placed those thoughts aside as he had finally arrived at Sakura's house and knocked and there was Hazumi who smiled in greeting.

“Hello there Naruto-san….we've just had break-fast and Sakura is almost finished getting dressed up….and so are you, you look very nice….would you like to come in?”

“Sure.”

Sakura's home was fairly nice and seemed to be rather well furbished and clean as well….showing that Sakura's family were not that rich but also well off and were able to live comfortably for themselves at the moment. The home was very cozy and had a number of shelves that had books in them for Sakura to read in her free time and the house was very clean as well, Hazumi noted the way Naruto was examining her home and she spoke.

“How do you like our home Naruto-san?”

“Its very nice Hazumi-san, no wonder Sakura loves her home so much.”

“You're welcome….ah, dear I see you're here!”

Ginji came into the home as he had gone to meet with the younger members of the Council and Ginji greeted Naruto….just as Sakura' came down, and she smiled at Naruto and when Naruto saw her….his jaw dropped once more.

Sakura had her hair well combed and she had a light application of makeup on her face and lipstick on her lips, not too showy but certainly the way to grab a man's attention right off the bat and Naruto's attention went to the small decorative hairpins in her hair, she had on a very simple but elegant kimono with light red flames on the sleeves and on the lower portion of the kimono with flying cherry blossoms on the kimono in the windswept style with a white background and on her waist was a well fashioned obi and there was a tie on the back as well….she wore comfortable sandal and carried a small purse to complete the ensemble and Sakura turned around a bit to show her date how she looked at the moment.

“How do I look Naruto-kun?”

Naruto didn't say a word as he was taking how Sakura looked at that moment until Holy Talon spoke to him.

((“I suggest that you say something Master Naruto before she gets offended….and close your mouth lest you do something dim witted, like drool.”))

(Right!!!)

Naruto did just that and replied to Sakura with a great smile of awe and appreciation.

“You look great Sakura-chan!”

“Thank you, and you're not so bad looking yourself Naruto-kun.”

Sakura and Naruto then were able to stand side by side as Ginji and Hazumi spoke to the two. They had the whole day to themselves, but Naruto was asked to escort Sakura home by early evening and not any later time. Naruto agreed and Sakura promised to be good. The two were finally allowed to leave and Sakura was happy to spend some time with Naruto for herself and she was sure that sooner or later as they walked out into Konoha to have their first official date….the others would soon find out.

The two traveled to the more scenic sights of Konoha and enjoyed the bright day that they were having at the moment and the sight of the simple yet elegantly dressed pink haired Kunoichi was sure to grab attention from the younger men and they would gaze at Sakura and talk about her attractive qualities and also they would give murmurs of disappointment on the fact that they were not the ones she was latching onto.

The young women were also admiring the sight and were somewhat jealous and were whispering on how Sakura was able to get a date with the blonde Chuunin at the moment and Naruto could hear them all due to his enhanced senses and the fact that Holy Talon was telling him everything at the moment and he couldn't help but feel a bit awed by the feeling of it all…he however knew that this date was unique and different at the moment. The two made their way to the parks and sat down there to relax at the atmosphere and since they had breakfast in their respective homes, they were able to enjoy the day fairly well.

As they chatted with one another, Sakura got to see Naruto in a much better light and it was actually nice to know that there was a lot more to her blonde team-mate than she had once thought and she could see that Holy Talon's influence on Naruto was entirely positive and was good to see. They also went to a few nearby booths and bought some gifts for each other….for Sakura, she bought a new set of small items for Naruto and for Naruto, he bought her a few jewels that in his mind suited her well and Holy Talon told him so and Sakura did appreciate them.

It was also when Naruto and Sakura went to have their lunch and although Sakura was not that big a fan of ramen, she agreed and as they had their bowls of ramen together, Naruto's kind and friendly nature was very welcome and both Teuchi and Ayame said that they looked nice together, though Ayame gave Sakura a slightly jealous look at the moment. As soon as they were done with lunch, the two of them went to a movie and they got to see the current leader of the Land of Snow and the Land of Spring act in her newest movie and as before….the two of them were happy for her performance in the movie and marveled that she was both actress and leader at the very same time.

When the movie ended, they went out to have more time together and took a light break and Naruto treated Sakura to a meal in a steak house….the very same one where they had celebrated his promotion to Chuunin though this time this was a private affair and the two of them at the moment. However, Sakura's thoughts on her date being found out by the others were proven true as a certain band of Kunoichi were spying on them.

“So they are there right now Hinata?”

“Hai….they are ordering the steak with sauce and some simple tea…”

“So that's why Forehead Girl's been saving up the money for the past few days. Though I can bet Naruto-kun's got his own amount of money to spend.”

“Hush….less talking more looking.”

Ino, Tenten, Kin, and Hinata were looking at the two at the moment with Hinata's Byakugan giving them small group the range needed to see Naruto and Sakura without giving themselves away at the moment, they knew that they were not supposed to fight over Naruto but they wanted to see just how Sakura's date was progressing with Naruto at the moment. They looked at them for the time being and kept track of Naruto and Sakura at the moment.

As the two finished their meals without incident at the moment, they left the place and Naruto escorted Sakura back to her family home just a few minutes early before the allotted them for their date set by Sakura's parents and as they were at the door, Sakura turned and spoke to Naruto with a smile.

“I had a great time Naruto-kun….thank you.”

“No problem Sakura-chan, I am happy you enjoyed the day.”

The two then parted ways and as Naruto walked back, he smiled happily and in Sakura's home….she breezed into her room and looked at Naruto as he rounded the corner and smiled warmly at Naruto and sat down on her bed and smiled at the memories of her date and slowly removed her clothes and treasured them as well as Naruto's gift to her this day.

--------

Unknown to them….while they were having the time of their lives…

--------

In a large town that was a fair distance from Konoha at the moment…

The women were panicking at the moment as they and their daughters were being pushed away into a massive complex that had once been the town's many grain storage chambers….and not by any bandits or soldiers, or even hired ninja….but by their town's own male guards and their own husbands, fathers, and sons, and brothers. They tried to plead for them to stop this nonsense but the men acted like they were under some sort of spell or jutsu at the moments….the women tried to act but the men were armed with their weapons, both those used by town guards and the normal tools of the village people themselves.

As they were brought into the place….it was then that they saw a robed and hooded person who spoke to them.

“Sorry to do this you ladies….but I have a use for all the nice young and old men you have in this quaint town of yours.”

“Who are you?!”

“What have you done to them?!”

The stranger chuckled and then spoke gently as the mayor of the town, who was a man stepped forward, she quickly walked over to the man and placed her hand on his face and spoke seductively.

“Your men now belong to me as long as I live….and if the one I seek does not come out….they will remain mine. I'm going to have a lot of fun with them you know. But as for you….you are going to be insurance for now….don't worry….there's plenty of food and water in the place you're all in at the moment. I might be evil, but I do have SOME morals….or things close to that….now then…farewell.”

The women tried to fight back but the men who were now under the control of the robed and hooded woman were able to force them back and the building was now under lockdown and were guarded by a number of men who were also like statues at the moment. The robed and hooded woman then relished the memories of how she had come to this quaint town.

She easily charmed the town guards that tried to stop her and had a quick taste and then made her way into the one of the main town buildings and her new pets were able to get her into the town barracks and there she had a lot of fun having the men on his side…plus the trip had been long and she had been rather hungry and her latest snack was enough to feed her hunger at the moment. As soon as she was done with them…which took her a few hours, she made sure to try the mayor and that didn't take too long and she then directed her attention to the rest of the men and now…despite the fact that she didn't have that many useful pets to send out and play with in her free time….they were more than useful enough to track down the one she was planning to deal with at the moment. Now that she had a working number of soldiers to send out and the information she needed from her previous….excursions, she now planned to see if luring out the one she came to track down and deal with at the behest of her master.

“All right gentlemen…time to go out and find me someone….and there is one place we need to find him.”

One of the Town Guards, the senior town guard then spoke.

“Where shall we attack my Lady?”

“A place called Konoha….go there and do what you can to lure out the one I see.”

“At your orders my Lady….”

--------

The next day in Konoha…

The guards were busy in their duties in the border area of Konoha at the moment and they were not expecting any serious threats at the moment since the ninja of Konoha….while not in the same numbers as before were more than capable at the moment. However…the band of Chuunin on patrol were suddenly surprises to see a number of men armed with a variety of weapons were heading right for the direction of the village. One of the Chuunin spoke to the others.

“What the heck is going on here?”

“I don't know….but those men look to be guards of a town somewhere beyond our borders….”

“So why are they marching towards Konoha? What are they doing all the way over here?”

“Beats me….let's go see…”

But just as the ninja got there to try and find out the intentions of the coming town guards….they were suddenly attacked by the guards….forcing them to be on the defensive….a battle started and the ninja were not expecting the town guards to be hostile….they fought back and one of them, a woman turned and spoke to her leader.

“Why the heck are they attacking us?!”

“I don't know!!! Go back to Konoha and tell Tsunade-sama that we're under attack!!!!”

The female Chuunin quickly rushed back to Konoha as her comrades were doing all they can to fight off the town guards that were attacking them, they were able to succeed in stopping a number of them in battle but the men just kept on attacking the group until they were forced to back away. They were wounded and had to try and figure out why a large band of simple town guardsmen would not only abandon their posts, but willingly attack ninja of the village of Konoha. They had no time to ponder that as the guardsmen were moving in ever closer to the direction of the village.

It was then that several reinforcement teams from Konoha were coming in the lead were Kakashi and Naruto as well as Sakura, Sasuke, Zabuza, Haku, Kin, and several other Chuunin as well as Ibiki himself so if they succeeded in capturing one of the men, they would find out what they were doing here.

Naruto landed on the ground as Kakashi did and they moved in to fight and sure enough, the wounded ninja were able to rest as Shizune and a small band of medic nin came along as well. Tsunade knew they could ill afford to lose any ninja at this point and time and that was why she dispatched Shizune to help heal the injured along with a support team of skilled medic nin with a pair of ANBU as escort.

Naruto and Kakashi quickly attacked with Kakashi using only his fist and kunai and not Naruto's gift sword for the time being….however he himself was confused as to why town guards were out here and hostile to Konoha….as far as he knew….Konoha was in a period of reconstruction and there was no open or covert state of war at the moment.

“What the heck are town guards doing here Kakashi-sensei?”

“I wish I knew Naruto, but we don't have time to try and debate it….we need to take down now and quickly….if we can get one alive….then we can get some answers!”

With the reinforcements on their side, the Konoha ninja began to fight back and Naruto drew out Holy Talon and it was then that Naruto and the Holy Sword noted something….odd about the town guards they were facing at the moment….something about them was totally out of place and they way they moved was a bit off….they were fighting like normal foes….but it seemed that their eyes were not showing any emotion, even those who were wounded were not reacting that much.

(Something it wrong here….Holy Talon, can you sense anything?)

((“I sense something odd…but I can't be sure entirely….all I know is that these men are not evil.”))

(If they are not evil….why are they attacking us….wait….could they be under some Genjutsu?)

((“I don't think so….regardless we have to beat them down so I can place them under better examination.”))

Naruto hoped Holy Talon was right as he began to use his training in dual wielding to fight the number of foes before him as he took out a secondary sword and fought with the town guards and used Holy Talon as the main striking weapon while the other sword was used to block the attacking weapons of the town guards which were swords, spears, clubs, staves and other melee weapons that gave them a number of options to attack their foes with. Naruto leaped over a number of them and lashed them from behind with Holy Talon and cut down a spear coming for his chest and slashed the man on the head with Holy Talon only.

Naruto then moved aside to block a pair of swords aimed at him and then blocked them down and slashed the two attacks with two strikes from Holy Talon to make sure that he took them down quickly and effectively at the moment. The other ninja also came in and several of the attacking Town guards were wounded and left to fall down….however the ninja were surprises to see that the ones they had injured were not even crying in pain but tried to get up and fight once more….forcing them to either try and knock them out or outright kill them. But the ninja were doing all they could to fight at the moment and Kakashi could tell that something was up with Naruto as the blonde Chuunin continued to fight with the Town guards before him, Sakura was using some of the Taijutsu skills she had learned both in the Academy and in her time with Tsunade and she was able to hold her own while Sasuke was using his own brand of fighting which was more direct and brutal at the moment….something that did not escape the attention of many of the ninja in the area….including Naruto as he leaped over a band of guardsmen and with several arcing strikes with Holy Talon, brought them down quickly and effectively.

The blonde Chuunin then used both swords to flip over the next band of guardsmen and he landed in the middle and unleashed a powerful new technique he learned some a previous Dragon Champion.

“SWORD BOOMERANG!!!!!”

Unlike the same technique he had used against Orochimaru, Neji, and Gaara from before where he tossed the spinning form of Holy Talon and the sword would return to him….this technique was more a close to mid range attack and Naruto swung Holy Talon and released it….but the blade was not sent flying as the eye in the guard was open and the blade sailed out and slashed hard into the crowds of town guardsmen….sending them flying everywhere with one well timed strike. The sword came back to Naruto at the moment and the others looked on as Naruto knocked down more of the town guardsmen….Sakura smiled and so did some of the others….but Sasuke merely looked on and focused on the task at hand yet glared a bit at Naruto`s back at the moment.

As the battle raged on for the next few minutes….questions were still growing at the moment in the minds of many of the ninjas in the fighting. What was the reason these men were here and why? And why were they fighting like….they were puppets, they could bleed and whatnot, but they uttered no cry of pain at all and seemed to be only interested in getting up and fighting even more despite their wounds. Naruto then decided to end this and summoned a Body Spell.

“BLINDING SPEED!!!!”

In a moment….he was bathed in energy and so was Holy Talon and he then focused the energy into his other sword and shouted.

“STUNNING BLOW!!!!”

In a moment….Naruto was ready and unleashed himself in a speed that equaled Lee without his weights for the moment and out of nowhere….Naruto attacked with blinding strikes that were hard to see for some of the ninja though the more keen eyed ones were able to see it at the moment as he lashed out with a massive array of slashes and thrusts in order to hit his foes all at once. The battle was soon to be over as there were not that many guardsmen still standing..

--------

Later…

Naruto was able to finally check on the men who had attacked Konoha after the battle was now over at this point and time with Holy Talon on his back and his spare sword placed away at the moment….and true to Holy Talon's words….even with his greatest blows with Holy Talon and the sword he had used in his dual wielding fighting style, none of them were badly injured or had been cut deeply by Holy Talon or by the sword that was weakened to stun but not kill….proving that these men were not evil in their hearts….the other ninja were also confused at this as Naruto used powerful kenjutsu moves that would have guaranteed kills….and some of the untrusting ninja spoke.

“Are you getting soft Naruto?”

There were some murmurs, but Kakashi put a stop to that with a glare and walked over to Naruto….he was familiar with the sword in some fashion and knew from what his student told him, the blade never spilled the blood of the innocent. He stood next to Naruto as Sasuke and Sakura arrived.

“What's on your mind Naruto?”

“These guys were not slain by Holy Talon's edge….and it's telling me something Kakashi-sensei and that something is that these guys are under some form of Genjutsu or a mental spell of some sort. There's no way these men were acting normally or were doing things of their own volition, I know that for a fact already in my studies with Iruka-sensei.”

And it was at the moment that Holy talon spoke of it's findings to it's master.

((“These men have been mentally dominated and are being used as pawns of some sort of power….but I can sense Chaos energy traces somewhere in them at the moment….apparently it was done by someone gifted with mental domination.”))

(Could it be Death Fang's work?)

((“Possibly….Death Fang is an evil weapon but it is gifted with great intellect and will, use me to scan their bodies more thoroughly.”))

“Naruto-kun?”

“Hold on Sakura-chan….I need to try something.”

Naruto took out Holy Talon once more and ran the blade over the body of one of the unconscious guards and sure enough, the Holy Dragon Sword's eye was open and it faintly glowed and there on the neck of the bodies was a strange spiral tattoo surrounded by a pair of female lips and a pair of fangs in a seductively evil smile. As soon as Naruto looked at the tattoo, he was able to understand it as Holy talon informed him of it. Sasuke and Sakura looked at the tattoo and so did Kakashi and the pink haired Kunoichi spoke.

“That is that thing on his neck?”

`That looks like s seal of some sort…”

Naruto then spoke as he mentally spoke with Holy Talon who had mentally hissed and swore a bit….startling him somewhat and the Holy Dragon Sword apologized and explained just what the mark was..

“The tattoo is a mystical control symbol of mental domination tattoo used by a Succubus Maiden, this is not good news.”

Kakashi looked at Naruto as his student was very serious at the moment and when he got like this, the Jonin knew that what they were fighting was not something he and his fellow ninja knew of and was to be approached with caution for them.

“A Succubus Maiden? I've never heard of those before….”

Naruto nodded as well and was told exactly what Holy Talon knew of these evil female warrior seductresses, and from what he can understand….these women were NOT to be trifled with in combat and also when it came to their abilities to charm and dominate the weak minded. These female warriors were serious threats since what the dark forces couldn't accomplish with bloody force….they could accomplish with mental and physical seduction and charming guile and domination.

He scanned the others and saw the same marks on them all as well. He then spoke Kakashi.

“We need to lock these guys up….place them in isolation so they won't do something foolhardy and desperate….I'll fill you all in later.”

Ibiki was there and somewhat confused by Naruto's words and so was Shizune but she nodded and told Ibiki to have the unconscious town guards brought into the Konoha prison to be held there until some answers could be found though she suspected with good reason that Naruto knew more about what was going on at the moment.

--------

However….they had no idea that a lone ninja on a return from a single mission had just been captured by a band of the same town's guardsmen.

--------

In the Hokage Tower….

“This one woman did all that?!”

Tsunade was shocked and so were just about everyone else in the room, which included Sakura, Sasuke, Kakashi, Shizune and even Jiraiya as well. Naruto had relayed them the information that Holy Talon had been able to provide him on this new threat that had somehow turned a prominent township into attacking Konoha no less than several hours ago. The town's guardsmen were in prison and were chained to prevent them from escaping and those who were injured or near death were healed and isolated in the prison's medical ward as Naruto had told them that these men were not the real enemy….but someone else entirely.

Naruto nodded and continued.

“Holy Talon told me that a Succubus Maiden can use both physical charms and mental powers to completely enslave any man to her will when she senses their exact level of mental and physical control and how to best weaken them. In that way, she can dominate a man or a number of men with either Chaos Magic or her body and her seduction arts, they are also skilled fighters and don't rely on looks and charm alone when in battle. These evil demons are not to be ignored in any case….if she can influence a town's guards to attack Konoha, she then can use even an army of mentally dominated men to attack her foes….and she feeds on pleasure, life force and life fluids in order to survive, she may be able to live and fight without it, but from what I can understand of it….a Succubus Maiden is a very strong fighter when she is able to satisfy her urges more and more….”

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow at that and he couldn't help but try and picture out just what sort of female can be able of doing such a thing on just a small town. The idea of a woman who's very life was tied to pleasure was very interesting in many ways, and he would be tempted….but from what he can piece together….this was one woman he wanted never to meet.

“Anything else Naruto?”

Naruto nodded….

“This attack she launched was not without purpose ….she wants to draw me out and she knows how to do that, if she continues with her actions without us stopping her….there's a chance she can have an entire army at her beck and call to attack us….Death Fang created that Maiden for a purpose and no doubt that purpose is to test me yet again….though this time it's going to be in a whole new set of circumstances. If we don't find a way to stop her soon, she could continue this and any man who bears her mark will slowly be lost to her power….completely.”

The group of ninja was silent about this and Naruto looked out the window and he wondered just how he was going to deal with this situation. This was something he knew he was not prepared for as a person but he had to deal with this eventually….the freedom of the people beyond Konoha was at stake here and he couldn't afford to waste too much time.

Who knew just what that Succubus Maiden was up to this time?

In the lair of the Succubus Maiden…

“Well now….it seemed that my little pets have been captured….no matter….I can always send out more of them to test just how far I can push the Champion….he must be very strong….and more to be able to win that easily…..Mmmmm, I am going to enjoy this…”

The female demon seductress in question looked at the map of Konoha and wondered just how she was going to lure the Dragon Champion out for some fun and games, both of which were the sensual and bloody type….it had been a while since she had taken part in a battle of blades, and a battle of wits with anyone and she was looking forward to this greatly at the moment and wished to see just how talented this new Dragon Champion was….

“But for now….time to have some fun….”

She walked down and quickly heard some struggling and shouting and instead of being annoyed by the racket….the Succubus Maiden was very interested in the situation at the moment and she was in the mood for some fun time. As she entered the room, there was a new addition to her little collection….a ninja from what she could see…and it was going to be fun with this one…

“Hello there….”

“Who are you?!”

The seductive demoness who was still wearing her robes at the moment walked over to the restrained ninja and spoke to him in a very seductive fashion while rubbing her hands on his face gently…but and she extended one of her fingernails and cut his skin…making the ninja flinch a bit in pain and she moved her hand away and gently licked the blood and replied.

“Naughty, naughty, I am the one asking the questions here, and I deserve answers….now….who are you and where are you from?”

The ninja glared at the Succubus Maiden and replied.

“I won't tell you anything!!!!”

The female demon smiled and replied.

“That's just what all the men in this little town said before I came along….now they obey me….and the women and children who are female are, shall we say in captive hands….alive and safe, as for the men and the male youngsters however….their lives and their bodies are MINE to play with. Now then….I think you have questions I want answered….we can do this the easy way, which is I get what I want out of you and I can let you live as my pet….OR you can resist and I pleasantly torture those answers out of you….either way….I win….and so would you….in a fashion of course.”

“What the heck are you saying?!”

The Succubus Maiden then took off her hood to reveal her face and the ninja was stunned to see that the woman had deep white skin and had pair of markings on her left cheek, the three marks looked like claws but did little to detract the beauty of the woman as she had a face that was well crafted and her eyes, while deep violet had a quality about them…and the dark blood red hair was there as well in a lush mane behind….it was only when he saw the curving horns on the side of her head that he realized that this beauty was not entirely human.

“What….are you?!”

The female demon then smiled as moved forward and then removed her robe….revealing her in a very seductive outfit that would have made men nose bleed and faint dead away. The outfit had a strange corset that covered her chest though barely covering the essentials…allowing her considerable bust to be see, there were fore-arm guards on her arms and also several other markings on her arms, her stomach was exposed by the corset and her body was sensual to the core, she wore a pair of figure hugging silk pants with strategically made slits to show her long and slender legs and on her back was a scabbard for a sword and she had no shoes at the moment. She then pressed her body on the ninja's own and the licked his ear and spoke

“My little boy….I am a demoness….but I can show you just how much fun I can be….provided you can entertain me of course….”

The male ninja could only brace himself for what was about to come….only he had NO idea what he was about to be subjected to.

An hour or two later…

The Succubus Maiden smiled warmly as she looked at the ninja who her servants have captured….he would prove to be a perfect find and now that she was done….interrogating him and having her fill for the day. As she spoke gently to him….he got up normally but as if under a spell of some sort.

“Now….do you know what you have to do?”

“Yes My lady….I will go back and observe the one you hunt….and I will report his weaknesses to you so you can make the proper plans to deal with him.”

“Good my pet….now…let me mark you with my favor.”

The ninja didn't resist as the Succubus moved forward, hugged him as he stood there after their very serious interrogation session, though the interrogation had NOTHING to do with torture at the moment…she moved to his neck and then she opened her mouth and then her canines extended and she bit the ninja by the neck and the man merely moaned as she sucked some of his blood and when that was over….the same mark that Naruto had seen in the attackers briefly appeared and then faded away…as well as the teeth marks.

The Succubus Maiden licked her lips and moved away and spoke.

“It is done….now go….they might start looking for you…”

“Yes my lady.”

The ninja turned and the forehead protector was seen and so was the symbol of the village the ninja was from…

Konoha…

Author's Notes:

Well now….Naruto's finally getting the life that he hoped for, with his own hands and efforts….and with the help of those he trusts….things are finally looking up for him at the moment. And some hjinks in the spring and a good day out with a long time crush in a real days act to make life more interesting for the blonde ninja…but now things are about to get very interesting from here on out.

Well….the cat's out of the bag now….how will Naruto handle the situation before him at the moment. This time, Death Fang is not sending foes Naruto is familiar with to some degree….this time the Chaos Dragon Sword has sent a foe who is wrapped a more….unique package and this will test just how strong Naruto is in not just combat….but in will power….as the Succubus Maiden knows more than one way to break down a man's defenses.

Think of the Dark Lady as a physical combination of Christie from Dead Or Alive with Ivy Valentine from Soul Calibur with long blood red hair and the appetite for pleasure to rival Goku's own appetite…and she is a Succubus as well like Morrigan and Lilith Aensland of Dark Stalkers though pure evil unlike the two Succubae mentioned, and relishes pleasure in every fashion that she can feed on when she can….

You don't need to ask me how she controls men physically….as a Succubus….the answer is fairly obvious….so don't ask me that.

And what will her newly converted spy in Konoha….what exactly does this evil female warrior have in mind for Naruto and what sort of weaknesses will this female demon use in order to lure Naruto into a trap?

Wait and see on the next chapter!!!
