I Do Not Own Naruto.
-----------------------------------------------
"Why did I agree to this again?" Sasuke asked in an annoyed tone as Sakura helped him as they limped together, still feeling the after affects of their battle against their other teammate, who was currently carrying a very pissed off Tayuya.
"Because shit heads, you didn't want to split up your team and neither of you want to return to that crack house village you call home." Tayuya answered with her nose in the air, not liking her situation whatsoever.
"Bitch, if you don't shut up I'm going to create a clone and drop your ass back at the Valley of the End so you will have to drag your ass all the way back here." Naruto said as he was becoming very aggravated by her constant cussing. While he himself cussed, she was taking it too far and he was ready to give her the boot.
Tayuya wisely said nothing as she knew she was in no shape to fight and that Naruto seemed to be in the best condition of all of them at the moment. In fact she was slightly scared as his eyes flashed a violent purple and she knew that he was a jinchuuriki and had not resorted to his bijuu's power as of yet. Taking a look of her surroundings, she pointed towards a thicket of brush and trees. "The base location of the Sound is fifty meters past that brush. So please hurry… I have a few things a woman needs to do in private."
Naruto nodded and picked up his pace a little as Sakura and Sasuke continued limping after him. Passing through the thicket she pointed to and jumping a few trees, he saw what seemed to be a stone building with a door. It wasn't much to look at, but evaluating the entire sight he was able to quickly determine why there weren't any other buildings. "The village of the Sound is an underground village. Hmp, makes sense with Orochimaru in hiding from Konoha and God knows what else."
Seeing the red head in his arms nod and that Sakura and Sasuke had caught back up to him, they headed for the entrance to notice a few people waiting outside. The first he quickly recognized as Orochimaru as no one else had paler skin then him except for the snake sannin. The next was easily identified as well as Sakura smiled lightly as she released Sasuke and limped towards her. "Tsunade-sensei… I've come to finish my training."
As Tsunade smiled at the pink hair kunoichi, a girl with fiery red hair that was combed on one side on wild on the other that also had glasses that seemed a little too big for her walked up and shook her head at Tayuya. "Over estimated your opponents again didn't you."
"Shut up bitch." Tayuya answered simply, which resulted in Naruto dropping her on the ground indignantly.
Karin only shook her head as she slowly helped Tayuya to her feet making sure not to place any pressure no her broken leg. "It also seems you can still piss off people that you just met."
As Tayuya rolled her eyes, the stone door slowly opened to reveal a teen with long, unbound blonde hair, slanted emerald eyes and a butterfly mark on her collar. Naruto's eyes quickly turned to her as hers fell onto him and there was a brief silence before the blonde girl smiled softly before suddenly fazing out of existence. Blinking as he saw this, Naruto tried to search for her until he felt himself be embraced in a tight grip and his vision was clouded by long strains of golden fibers. Not even hesitating, he wrapped his hands around her and kissed her forehead. "Hey love… how do you feel?"
"Better… Now that you're here." Yugito spoke in a soft voice as she continued nuzzling her head into his chest and neck, which was slightly awkward as she was a few inches taller then he was and being a few years older. Looking up at him, she straightened up a little and brought her lips to his. She moaned softly as he pressed his lips back and deepened the kiss, not caring that the others were looking at them both. In fact, she wanted them to see this to let them know he was hers.
Soon as they broke their kiss, a cough caught their attention and they all turned to the snake sannin with his arm wrapped around Tsunade's shoulders. "While that was sweet and all, I think its time we head inside just incase they sent any hunters after you four."
Naruto nodded as he wrapped his arms around Yugito's waist and followed the two sannin into the stone entrance with the rest right behind. After a few moments of travel through the halls, Naruto concluded that he was severely lost and vowed to have his shadow clones explore the maze like tunnels and make a map of the place. He noticed that the red haired girl had taken Tayuya a different direction, probably to get checked out. Seeing Orochimaru stop in front of a hallway with doors, he stopped as well as both sannin turned around. "The room on the left is your room Sasuke and the one on the right is yours Sakura. This is our elite hallway where my most trusted subordinates sleeping quarters are located. Both of you need rest and tomorrow I'll send Karin to collect you for your second stage of the seal."
Sasuke didn't even need to be told twice and walked into his room, ready to pass out once more. He had kept himself up on pure will and he was going to pass out soon as he hit the bed. Sakura only nodded as she bowed to Tsunade before walking into her room, almost as tired as Sasuke was from the events that had happened not to long ago. Naruto frowned, but he noticed Orochimaru motioned for them to follow and he did so as he didn't know the layout of the village.
After a few dozen turns and a headache, Naruto and Yugito found themselves in front of a solid steel door before Orochimaru opened it and beckoned them within. Naruto's jaw hit the floor seeing the decoration in the room that were seemingly similar to that of Orochimaru's room, however a little different when Yugito noticed the bed and saw a painting of a ten tailed snake hanging above it. As Naruto was still in shock at the room and was admiring the golden snake statues, Yugito only shook her head as she turned to Orochimaru. "What is with the painting? There are only nine tailed demons and the eight tail is the snake. So why have a painting of a ten tailed snake?"
Orochimaru shook his head as he looked over at the painting before his eyes coasted over to Naruto before quickly turning back to Yugito. "Don't worry about it. That will be explained in due time to both of you." Looking back over at Naruto and smiling as his fascination had turned to the book shelf. "Most of the books on that shelf are books of seals I have taken from other villages and even from the seal master that taught Jiraiya and the Yondaime Hokage. That shelf has more knowledge on seals then even I have and I've read half of those books."
As Naruto's eyes widened even more as he pulled one out and began to examine it, Tsunade shook her head as the boy was just as fascinated about learning new things as her mate was. She absently wondered if all snakes were as curious as they were, but she shook it off as she turned to Yugito as she knew she would be the one that was paying attention. "This room is both yours and your mate's room. The bathroom is the door in the back so you won't have to use the men's or the women's showers/bath house like a lot of the others have to. Seeing that we have some work to do, we'll leave you two alone. Tell Naruto once his head is out of that book that Kabuto will be sent here in the morning to pick him up. …And brat, Kage Bunshin learn whatever you do so use them to read! You have more important things to deal with."
With that, both the snake and slug sannin left the room. As they left, Orochimaru turned to his mate and gave her a strange look. "Okay, what was that about? I know I have to set up the sealing of your student and Sasuke, but I don't have much else to do other then some paper work, which my clones are doing at this moment."
Tsunade just stayed quit with a small grin on her face before she touched the door and it turned blue before turning the other direction and walking off. Orochimaru's face dropped seeing that and knowing it was a privacy seal she just activated. He had to wonder why she did that before he put two and two together and quickly walked away from the room, not wanting to be caught trying to peep on them.
Naruto just blinked as both Orochimaru and Tsunade left the room before creating a dozen clones and sent them off to read the books. As he did so, he had to wonder what she meant by having something more important to do. Shrugging as he handed the book he was reading to one of his clones, he pulled off his pack as he noticed Yugito lying on the bed with… "Hey, that's my CD player."
Yugito just smiled at him as she tilted her head at him while still on the bed before taking it off and giving him an innocent smile. He absently wondered how she was able to get it out of his pack and then out of his scroll, but he decided not to ask as Yugito had a talent for doing things that defied the laws of nature. Shaking his head as he sat on the bed next to her, he felt pretty awkward about the entire situation. Sure, he had marked her as his mate before leaving Konoha but this was something else. Taking a look at the mark he had gave her, he smiled lightly as he rubbed it gently as she looked over at him. "Thank you, hebi-kun."
He would have normally founded this name offensive as Anko and Ino were the ones that started calling him that; however it was Yugito that called and for some reason it had a certain term of endearment to it now. But this raised his question of what she was thanking him for. He couldn't think of anything he did that she needed to thank him for, so he was left with a questioning look before she lifted herself off the bed and kissed him lightly on the lips. "Thank you for the best birthday present I've ever received."
That caught Naruto off guard as he actually never asked when her birthday was and apparently it was today. Hell, even if he had known he would have probably had forgotten as he lost track of time when he was studying and training as hard as he could. It did answer his question before as to why she thanked him, but this left a new one that he had to have answered. Kissing her back, he smiled lightly as he scooted closer to her and rubbed her cheek lightly. "Your welcome love, but how old does that make you?"
She frowned at him before smiling and playfully hitting him in the chest. She snickered lightly as he faked being hurt by her punch and looked at her with innocent puppy-dog eyes that seemed more sinister then innocent. "I'm now seventeen for your information. I thought you would have known that by now."
"Eh, I forget my brother's age and birthday so give me a break, babe." Naruto said with a straight face before smiling as he titled his head at her before turning back to all his clones with a tick mark on his head. "NO WATCHING! GET BACK TO WORK!"
All of them groaned as they were no longer paying attention to their books making Naruto twitch before dispelling all of them while grumbling about disobedient clones. He felt a tug at his jacket and looked back as he saw Yugito pulling it off and shrugged as he undid his belts before bending his arms back and his jacket easily came off. Yugito frowned as she easily took the jacket off before shaking her head as she noted that he wore a fishnet shirt underneath his jacket. "Well, I guess I'm going to have to get use to having a mate more flexible then I am."
"What?" Naruto said as he heard Yugito's comment before catching her eyes as she looked at him before rubbing his collar bone softly. Realizing what was going on, he slowly brushed his hand through her hair before nodding lightly. "It's alright, go ahead."
Getting the okay Yugito nuzzled his chin before licked at the spot on his collar bone she was planning on leaving her mark. She felt him shudder at the feeling and smiled as she ran her fingers over his shoulders before she opened her mouth and carefully bit down onto the marked spot. She felt him cringe slightly as her fangs pierced his skin but with his hand still combing through her hair, she flowed a small amount of her chakra into her fangs and into his system. Once it finished entering her system, she pulled back a little before licking away the blood from his neck. Just as it did on her, a black mark began to form where she bit him before smiling as it took shape. "Well at least now I know where my heart belongs."
Catching her words, Naruto stretched his hand over and grabbed the hand held mirror on the night stand before bringing it over. "Well… Eh, can't complain too much about it. Now if anyone calls me gay for having a heart tattoo however… Ow." He rubbed his shoulder as he looked at a flushed Yugito, who had just punched him. Putting the mirror back on the stand, he cupped her face before kissing her deeply, letting his tongue slide into her mouth. Breaking the kiss after a moment of their tongues battling, he rubbed her face lightly once more before embracing her. "Thank you for accepting me for who I truly am, neko-chan."
Yugito smiled as she wrapped her arms around him tightly as a single tear drop fell from her right eye. Seeing this, Naruto pulled back and wiped the tear away with a gentle flick of his finger. "And you'll never have to worry about being alone again."
"I know." Yugito spoke softly as she laid her head against his chest and began to purr softly as his hands stroked through her hair. "And neither shall you. …I was just so afraid of admitting I liked you… That I thought this never would happen… I was so afraid that I would end up with someone like that bastard Hiboruto that… That I thought we would never be together and now that we are… I feel… Complete."
As he saw more tears beginning to fall from her eyes, Naruto wiped his hands over her cheeks before kissing her once more. As she looked at him as her body trembled lightly, he smiled lightly as he wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly. "I know Yugi, I know. I'm guilty of not noticing it sooner and acting upon it. I finally now know why Hachi always said I was oblivious to all the signs. So it is my fault to, but don't worry about it. We have the rest of our lives together now, so let's live for the time we've got and not worry about what we didn't realize before."
Smiling as she began to calm down, he laid down with her still in his grip as she wrapped her arm him and buried herself into him as she curled into a comfortable ball. Shaking his head at his love he kissed her forehead lightly before looking down at her. "Sorry I couldn't get you a better birthday present. But I promise I'll get you something, alright?"
Hearing purring from her, he smiled as he took that as a yes and was about to close his eyes when she looked up at him with a lustful smile and spoke in a sultry voice. "Oh, I think there is something you can give me right now that shows how much you care for me."
Naruto had to reboot his brain in order to understand what she had said before his normally pale skin turned beat red as he realized what she was hinting at. He wasn't sure why as he shouldn't have been as embarrassed as he had romps with Hachibi, Anko's multiple performance session and the one with Nibi before, but he really hadn't expected Yugito to even hint at that especially after catching some of her life back in the Cloud. Regaining his composure and cursing himself for being so easily aroused, he looked her in the eyes before taking a deep breath. "Are you sure about that neko-chan? I mean we don't have…"
"Naruto, that was four years ago and I received counseling for it. So it's not like I'm going to freak out on you halfway through. Besides, as you said we should live for the time we've got left and not worry, right? Well, let's not worry about it." Yugito told Naruto as she looked up at him with a lighter smile before kissing him gently on the lips. Nodding lightly as they broke the kiss, Naruto attempted to roll on top of her before she squirmed out of his grip and off the bed. "Hold on, I'll be right back. Got to take care of some business first."
Watching her head towards the bathroom, Naruto shook his head lightly as he undid his sash and placed it on his jacket before taking off his mesh shirt. Sighing lightly as he leaned back against the back board of the bed, he closed his eyes as he let everything sink in. He had finally had left the place of his hatred and was now in the Sound with the promise of power and happiness. The latter had already been given to him, but would he have had it if he stayed in Konoha? He shook his head as he knew the answer. He would have as some asshole or bitch would have intervened and he would have lost Yugito one way or another.
His eyes snapped open as he felt the bed lower slightly and he looked straight into the eyes of his blonde lover, who was now bare of any clothes. He was hard pressed not to blush, but that quickly washed away as her lips met his. His tongue quickly invaded her mouth as he gripped her shoulders as her hands played with the buttoning on his pants before he flipped them to where she was on her back. This only allowed her to wrap her long legs around his thighs as she undid his buttoning but before she could do anything, his hands had made their way to her full breasts and began to press and squeeze them a little harder then he was meaning to.
Gasping at the feeling as she broke their kiss, she looked up at her pale lover before letting out a soft moan as he continued rolling her breasts in a certain circular pattern so that the meshed together every now and then. Moaning a little more often, she watched him move his head down and taking her right nipple into his mouth before biting down on it. She gasped loudly in surprised as he pulled on it until it snapped back leaving two small cuts as his fangs caught her nipple. Gasping against as he repeated the favor to her other before kissing it gently before lapping the small amount of blood and her nipple at the same time.
Looking up at her face, he smirked as he could see her looking at him needily but he hadn't even begun as he licked her perfectly round breasts while dragging his fangs gently along them leaving light scratch marks. Hearing her gasps from his mate, he smirked as he planted kisses between her twins before moving down, continuing to kiss every few inches while purposely drag his fangs along her skin lightly. Feeling her body shudder and hearing her mutter something under her breath; he smirked as he reached her pelvis before he planted a kiss on her fold.
She couldn't help but squeal as he did that and nearly grabbed his head but settled for coasting her hands through his blonde mane. Her eyes widened as he gave her womanhood a deliberately long lick and couldn't help but moan out as he settled for small quick licks at her clitoris as his fingers slowly began to probe inside of her. Her entire body spasmed from the feel as it was quite different for someone else to do this for her. She moped in disappointment as his fingers left her before she yelped in surprise.
He smirked as her entire body rippled as her inner walls contracted around his tongue as it dove into her. He knew exactly where to go after all his work on Hachibi and his payments to her, which he absently noticed she hadn't asked for ever since he was involved with Yugito. Kicking that thought out of his head with his chibi Naruto form, he sent a small surge of chakra to his tongue along with a small pulse from Hachibi to elongate his tongue and give it a little fork like tip. He knew that surprised her as she screamed and he suddenly found himself on the wrong end of a powerful release.
Panting at the feeling he just gave her, Yugito looked at him with a certain gleam in her eyes before her hands lashed towards his pants and quickly pulled them off with one stroke. She frowned at the boxers he was wearing, however they didn't matter as what she wanted was hanging through the slit in full length. Not even thinking about what she was doing, she nuzzled against before bringing her tongue to the base of the shaft and slowly licking towards the plump head. She smirked as she felt him quiver from her lick and gave him a few more good and long licks before she looked up at him with desire in her eyes. "Hebi-kun, I want it now."
Nodding at her, he was about to lay her down when she jumped up and onto him, nearly forcing him onto his back. Naruto could only shake his head before he felt her slick folds rubbing up and down his long shaft. His spine shivered from the feel before he felt both her hands grip his shaft. Groaning lightly, he placed his hands on her waist and lifted her up as she aligned herself before he slowly let her sink onto him. Feeling the same constricting that was on his tongue before, he groaned along with his moaning mate as she completely inserted him within her. Hitting something as she did so, he felt her gasp and he had to look at her oddly as he didn't feel this when he was taken into the forest of death tower with Anko, in his mind with Hachi or when Nibi raped him.
Seeing the look on his face, she shook her head as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "You're the perfect size for me… And you still have time to grow." At this a large bead of sweat was falling from the back of her head and she knew he was only going to get larger in the next couple of years making her wonder if she could take him if his inner demon had her way.
Inside both demon vessels, a certain cat and snake were going through this very conversation trying to figure out how to grow him without him hurting or ripping Yugi too badly but being big enough to reach into them all the way.
Shaking his head at her, he kissed her lightly on the lips before he slowly began to push his hips into her. Getting a gasps before they turned into low moans, he couldn't help but groan lightly himself as her walls pulsing around his muscle within her as it gripped it tightly. As he thrusted a little harder into her, her moans picked up and as she laid her head onto his shoulder he was able to her melodious voice at work. Varying his speed, he got different moans from her and different bucks to them, he nuzzled the back of her head as he held her tightly to him as he began to pick the pace up more as he knew he would near his limit soon.
Yugito was already nearing her release as it was far too much for her. He was hitting every nerve within her with his various pumps and with him hitting her cervix, which she learned was very sensitive, she was about to blow. She really wanted to scream from the pleasure she was in, but it could only come out in a low moan as sweat streamed from her pours. She was tiring and quickly and with the last stroke within her, she couldn't hold herself back as she gave a long, low moan as juices flowed down Naruto's ten inches far faster then before. She continued moaning as he stroked himself into her before pulling herself up a little. "Naruto, please don't… release inside… I'm not ready…"
She didn't have to finish her statement as Naruto knew what she meant. He had received the talk about not doing that inside of other girls from Anko. He was quite glad she was sterile and had told informed him that other women weren't and didn't want to become mothers after the first time with the man they loved. Feeling himself beginning to churn, he pulled her off him and was just going to let it go when he saw Yugito drop to the surface of the bed and began to lick his shaft once more. Never getting this from the others he had been with, he couldn't help it as his seed burst from his member and fell onto her face and mouth.
Looking down at her, he had a small bead of sweat fall from his head as she made no attempt to clean herself off like the first time when Nibi purposely got her hit by his release and instead, began licking him clean. Trying not to get hard again as he knew she wasn't ready for another round, he slowly pried her off before thoroughly wiping around her mouth and kissed her on the lips. "That was brilliant, love."
Yugito could only nod as she looked at him with half lidded eyes before yawning loudly. Shaking his head and wrapping his arms around her waist, she meshed herself into him and began purring as she drifted to sleep.
Naruto could only shake his head as he pulled the covers over them and laid his head on the pillow and looked at his blonde haired mate. He had made the right decision in coming. This was the best situation for both of them.
-----------------------------------------------
It was morning and Naruto was sitting on the edge of the bed as Yugito as comfortably sleeping in a curled up ball with a pillow. While he wanted to be the one she was gripping right now, he could sense something and wanted to know what it was. He had woke up a few times in the night as his Taiingan activated without reason and felt as if something was screwing around with them. He had quickly gone to Hachibi, but the snake was just as alert to what was happening and she didn't like it either.
He was thoroughly unsettled by this but at the same time he didn't want to worry Yugito about it. He already had created his clones and with the secret of the technique he had just caught last night, he was mapping the complex structure out. He had it mostly figured out and was ready to get dressed when he heard a knock at his door and answered it in a monotone voice. "Just a minute."
The said knock jolted Yugito awake and she noticed she was cuddled against a pillow and saw Naruto on the edge of the bed with his chin resting on his hands. Knowing that something was up as Naruto wouldn't have left her in the night; she crawled behind him and wrapped her arms under his and around his chest. "Naruto, is something up? Why aren't you in bed?"
Looking back at her, he knew trying to play it off as nothing wouldn't work as her eyes were looking at him with worry. He couldn't lie to her now and he felt compelled to tell her the truth. Sighing to himself, he looked away as he activated his Taiingan and saw who was at the door. "I don't know, love. My eyes have been activating randomly during the night and it felt like someone was tampering with them. At first I thought it was the snake, but she mentioned the event in the Wave when this happened and said it was happening again."
Yugito frown at this as she pressed her body against him, trying to console her mate and there was nothing to worry about even if she knew it wasn't the truth. Seeing him shake his head, he placed his hand on her stomach before lightly kissing her. "Go clean yourself, Orochimaru is here for something."
Seeing her nod and quickly enter the bathroom, Naruto stood up and opened the door for the snake sannin. "So what's going on that you didn't send Kabuto here for?"
"We found Gaara last night. He has multiple fractures throughout his body and a certain external organ needs repairing and refueling." Orochimaru said in a rigid voice.
This quickly caught Naruto's attention as a low hiss vibrated through his throat. "Kyuubi?!" Seeing the snake sannin nod, Naruto refrain from lashing out and striking the wall. "Let me and Yugito dress first…"
"Here, these are some clothes Tsunade rounded up for you on her way to the nearest town. That's how she found Gaara on her way back. Meet me in the throne room in twenty minutes seeing that your clones have scoped the area very well." Orochimaru spoke as he handed two bags over to him, one with his name and the other with Yugito's name on it.
Naruto nodded and took the bags before closed the door as Orochimaru left. Knocking on the bathroom door as he heard the shower water on, he informed Yugito she had a new set of clothes and put them in the room before he pulled his out. Pulling out his clothes from his bag, he had to admit he liked the colors and could tell armor had been crafted within them as they were heavier then normal. His shirt was a deep orange and his pants were pitch black and he got a new pair of combat boots as his old ones were becoming worn. Finally, there was a deep purple jacket, almost aubergine in color that flowed to the back of his knees and gave off the look of a mini trench coat.
Liking the look as he strapped his pouch to his left leg, he saw Yugito exit and smiled as her looked hadn't really changed all that much. This time however she was wearing a shirt that was pitch black from the color down to the mid section of her breasts then a plum purple down. Her pants however had black legs while her hips were the same purple as her shirt. To add on however, he noticed a small box in his bag and shook his head as he looked inside the first. "I guess Tsunade wants us to make it official as well… Well, seeing as we're mates this shouldn't be too hard."
Yugito blinked at him before she saw the jewelry box and froze as Naruto decided to go through the motions with a slight smile on his face, even if it was still completely serious. Before he could even asked the question she had him in the deadliest death grip ever known to mankind, even worse then that of a certain bipolar freak's with an orange mask that shall remain nameless death hug. "YES!"
As he was turning blue from the lack of air, she let go of him before gently taking the box from his collapsed form as he gasped for breath. As she looked at the ring, she gasped before picking Naruto off the ground and death hugging him once more even though she knew he hadn't gotten the ring for her. However, it didn't matter as he was still giving it to her. Feeling him tap her shoulder, she looked at Naruto and saw he was purple in the face before letting him go to recover his breath as she nervously laughed. "He, he, he… Sorry about that hebi-kun."
Regaining his breath and pulling himself to his feet and dusting himself off. Shaking his head and kissing her on the forehead, he helped put the ring on before motioning for her to follow. "Come on. Orochimaru wanted us in his throne room as Tsunade found Gaara near death and missing a lot of a certain male fluid…"
Yugito growled that sounded somewhat like a hiss before following Naruto as he led the way to the said room. She absently wondered how he knew where he was going, but didn't say a thing as Naruto was an enigma at times that just couldn't be solved. Seeing grand doors with a golden snake in the middle of them, she pushed them open with Naruto as they didn't expect it to open as easily as it did. She noticed two closed barrels like the one the Sound Four had and a little purple smoke flowing from within them and wondered what was going on when Naruto answered it for her as he addressed Orochimaru after a light bow. "So it seems that you've started Sakura's and Sasuke's level two rituals… But what is this about Gaara?"
Tsunade appeared besides Orochimaru sitting in his throne seat before seating herself on the slightly lower chair to the next of it. She was a little tired from having to heal Tayuya then Gaara, but it was worth it. "He's recovering right now and it shouldn't take long due to his condition, but due to his mental condition before this is going to leave a large scar that will probably never heal. There is no doubt the kitsune did something horrible to him, but I'm guessing it had to be a mind altering illusion as this would make the six tail that she has received."
"We've also contacted the Sand about a trade to return Gaara to them; however they want nothing to due with him any longer so he'll be staying here and will become an Oto shinobi just like the rest of you. I just want to let you know so that if he starts acting any blood thirstier then usual to put a stop to it." Orochimaru spoke with a little enthusiasm in his voice at that part. He wouldn't be the first to admit having multiple jinchuuriki really beefed up your military presence especially after the training they were going to receive.
Sighing as he leaned back into his chair, loving how comfortable it actually was, he looked down at both Naruto and Yugito. "But with Kyuubi having six of her tails back and the Akatsuki now having capture three of the bijuu, two of which Kyuubi has taken a tail from, there is no doubt she will be coming after both of you before taking the Red Dawn on herself. This is a lose-lose situation as the kitsune can do serious damage to our village however if she goes up against the Akatsuki, they will tear her down because the kitsune has forgotten about the Eternal Sharingan of Madara's and does not believe he is still alive."
Knowing her husband was having a rough time with everything that was happening today as was she; she rubbed his shoulder lightly before finishing for them. "Even with all the risk of keeping you here constantly, we have to ground you in the village until we can either capture the nine tail or weaken her to keep her from going after the Akatsuki. Under no circumstances can they get the fox otherwise all the shinobi nations will fall and a new world order will be established. That is the reason Otogakure has been formed. To become the greatest of the shinobi nations and to put an end to the Akatsuki's flawed plan. None of us may be perfect and every single person her is a traitor of some sort, however this is the cause we strive for and one day, the Sound will no longer have to hide like we do now."
Nodding with his wife, Orochimaru stood up tiredly before kissing Tsunade lightly on the lips and whispered into her ear. "Naruto, would you come with me? There is something you must see. Yugito, you can go back to your room or go to the training area. Kabuto will show you the way either way as I know you don't know the layout yet."
As he finished, Kabuto appeared out of the shadows before Orochimaru motioned for Naruto to follow. Heading to the back of the room, he was greeted by nothing but darkness. It was so dark that he had to activate his Taiingan to keep sight of the snake sannin as they passed through the hallways without any of the torches being lit. "Why is it so dark back here?"
"Because what you are about to learn needs to be kept in the dark from everyone except those who you absolutely trust. I would have asked your mate to come with you; however he wanted to see you alone." Orochimaru spoke in dark tone as they reached two doors only visible by light candle light. Watching the sannin pull the door, Naruto was thrown for a loop as the sannin beckoned him in. "Go ahead, he is waiting for you."
Slowly walking in, Naruto was unsure of what was going to happen now as the door closed behind him. The room was completely dark and even with his Taiingan, he could see nothing. Before he knew it, all the torches within the room went up in flames as a throne chair not unlike Orochimaru's appeared along with a man that had no color then black sat on the throne with his legs crossed. Naruto immediately jumped into a defensive stance before froze as power like no other washed over him in waves.
"Welcome my child. Do not worry; I am not to harm you." The man spoke before his eyes opened to reveal the endless white with a blue x-shaped iris.
To Naruto's shock and surprise, his body unfroze itself as soon as the eyes met his. He had felt his inner-demon freeze as well and when he unfroze, so did she and she was not happy. In fact he could feel the anger boiling from within his stomach before it slowly dimmed to nothing as he looked over at the man enshrouded by the shadows. "Who are you and what do you want?!"
The man only laughed as his eyes stared at him, unblinking. "Ah, it's so funny how living beings must give something a name when it is meant to not have one. But I will humor you as we will be talking for a while. Seeing as I have no name, you may call me Eyes as that is the only feature I allow to be seen by any mortal being."
Naruto frowned as he heard the man speak and was seriously getting a little freaked out as he didn't seem to blink. And the way he referred to himself was disturbing him as well. It was as if he wasn't human… "Ah, you finally are beginning to realize I'm not a mortal being."
Naruto's eyes narrowed and clinched his fist tightly as he did not like this as all, but allowed the man to continue. "Yes, I'm not a human or a demon at that. I am… A messenger from God."
"I allow people to call me Eyes as I am a part of the almighty now as I possess the Eyes of God making me a divine being with power far beyond this world can comprehend. This power had a sacrifice however. I lost all my humanity when I stumbled upon these eyes. Eyes that you will be allowed access to the power they hold."
"What?!" Naruto exclaimed as he was thrown back in shock at what he heard.
"Relax; you will not lose your humanity. I only added a small portion of what these eyes can do into your eyes forth stage. I'm sorry for any inconvenience, however God wished it to be done and I obeyed his will. You will not have to worry of the burden these eyes carry, only I will." The man answered without any emotion being expressed within his voice.
Feeling slightly better, Naruto took a deep breath as he placed his hands in his pocket. "Alright, so say you are the Eyes of God and you happen to have all this power. Why not use it for the better of humanity or to at least give us the chance to make it better? Why allow people like my mate, my brother and myself have to go through the lives we had to get to this point? Why…"
"Divine beings cannot intervene with the mortal realm outside of contact and we rarely do because something normally goes wrong when we contact the world of the living." Eyes interrupted as he smirked lightly although Naruto was unable to see it.
Narrowing his eyes, Naruto was about to demand an answer when Hachibi's voice came from within. "Summon me…"
Being caught off guard by his tenant's request, no demand, Naruto narrowed his eyes further before doing as he was told. In a poof of smoke, Hachibi stood besides him in all her glory before slowly walking towards Eyes as he sat in his throne. Her eyes glowed violently as she clenched her fist, however as she reached him, she turned back around at Naruto as she sat on the steps. "He's telling the truth Naruto. Divine beings are not to be allowed to interfere with the life of mortals except with their words. However, there was one incident were it was allowed…"
As Eyes nodded at her, Hachibi closed her eyes and clenched at a necklace Naruto had never seen before. "He was allowed… To create us. The nine bijuu in order to cleanse the world and keep it humanity from self destructing."
Naruto's blood froze as he heard his tenant's voice. It was nothing like he heard before. It was full of hatred, remorse and regret. "… The nine of us were all friends with Eyes when a great war broke out and engulfed the entire world. Weapons that could destroy entire cities and even wipe out some of the smaller countries were unleashed upon this world."
"…We lived in the greatest power in the world at the time; however it had made enemies with the rest of the world. …One day the town we lived in was struck by a nuclear wind and people began to die from the high radiation doses. It was this that prompted Eyes to leave and try to find a cure when the bijuu now known as Yonbi was nearing death."
"She was my lover at that point in time and I would do anything for her… So I tried to cross the mountains to the military base just on the other side when it was struck by hydrogen bomb. The road I was on collapsed and I barely survived when I found myself in a glowing cave."
"Inside that cave, there were two glowing spheres and then I heard his voice… The Almighty had spoke to me and told me to pick up the spheres as they could cure my friends… But when I did, I became what I am now. I still had the power as I was still mortal at the time, but I was becoming Divine quickly. He told me of his will and I… went to find my friends." Eyes continued on before Hachibi stopped him and picked up where he left off.
"The first he turned was Yonbi… He never gave her a choice in the matter. Then he rounded the rest of us up and gave us an escape from the radiation that was killing us. At first we were skeptical, but then we saw Yonbi and how she changed. He never once told of us our goal… And when he transformed us, he informed us that we had to cleanse the world and destroy all the weapons they had created…"
"We did as we were told as he forced to… We killed so many people, even family and friends for the sake of God's will. None of us ever believed that, but when Eyes disappeared from us and would return in front of our eyes without any warning… We began to believe he was telling the truth."
"Humanity was in ruins once the cleansing was finished and all the information on how to continue making the weapons of mass destruction was erased." Eyes interrupted Hachibi as he looked at the snake demon before turning his vision back to Naruto. "Everything was lost, or so it seemed."
"The human race was a resilient one and did not give up and they found a way to emulate the power of the great demons that destroyed their world from help of the great sage at the time. At this time, a prophecy was made and I delivered it to this world. One that would predict small events that have occurred that would save this world."
"Okay, while this is all fine and dandy, what the hell does this has to do with me? So far this story is only about you and what the world was before and the history of the bijuu and I understand I do need to know a little of this as I contain Hachi…"
"Let us finish, then you will understand." Eyes interrupted as he crossed his fingers and laid them into his lap. "There is still more to be told and your impatience is blinding you from seeing the truth of situation."
Naruto nodded as he placed his hands to try in get comfortable. Just as he thought that, a cushioned chair materialized from behind him and tripped him so he sat on top of it. Blinking at what just happen, he looked over at Eyes and he swore he could see a small smirk on his face.
Hachibi sighed as she finally opened her eyes and let go of her necklace and whispered something that he had barely caught. Understanding the necklaces importance to her, he closed his eyes before turning his attention back to Eyes. "I'm sorry for interrupting; please continue."
Eyes nodded as he closed his eyes for a moment before resuming his gaze onto Naruto. Suddenly wisps of smoke began to form in front of him and letters began to form from the smoke until a paragraph was created.
Hope is imminent for humanity,
But darkness still remains.
A new world order arises,
And war follows in its wake.
And from this horrible war,
Five powers emerge for the wreckage.
From the strongest of the five,
Three with great power appear
Destined to wander the world
Seeking to pass on their power.
One of toad, slug and snake they are
And they seek the lighting, earth and wind.
When they are found a new danger emerges
That threatens the world like never before.
Of the three, one stands out
And holds power like no other.
The world rest in thy's hand
So be at ease, the world is safe
As he is blessed with heaven's power.
As Naruto read it, he slowly began to understand everything that was going on and what their story was leading to. He knew of the first Great Shinobi War and the devastation it left the world in. It was from that war that Iwa, Kiri, Konoha, Kiri and Suna emerged as the strongest powers. Years of missions and the occasional minor wars led to another Great Shinobi War and it was Konoha that came out and proved to be the strongest. It was then, the three sannin emerged with power that few could match and began to wander the world, looking for the correct apprentices. "I'm one of the three apprentices… because snake and wind are at the end; I'm to be Orochimaru's apprentice which has come to pass."
Eyes nodded in confirmation as he let Naruto piece together everything he had heard and why he was called her instead of Sakura or Sasuke. The entire time he had a small smirk on his face even if it was unseeable due to the shadows.
Naruto continued to rack his brain as he reread the prophecy over and went over everything until it finally clicked. "The new threat that threatens the world is the Akatsuki and is trying to acquire the power of the past… And of the three apprentices, which are Sakura, Sasuke and myself… I stand out the most because of my status, but more importantly… My ever increasing power. …I'm the one that is blessed with heaven's power? How is that possible?"
Seeing Naruto's attention turn solely onto him, Eyes did nothing before tapping onto his eyes. "As I told you in the beginning, you are being allowed access to the power these eyes contain. Only a small fraction, but some of the power nonetheless. They are your forth stage of your eyes… Your Mangekyou if you will."
"However the requirement on activation is far different. You don't need to kill anyone… But just with any great power, a sacrifice is needed. You must take great losses in order the achieve it. Like the loss of your sensei, Orochimaru and Tsunade, your brother and your teammate… Your mate. You must lose something that means the world to you to activate it."
"Stop it!" Hachibi hissed loudly as her eyes flashed violently and struck at Eyes, only for the same force field that stopped Kyuubi from harming him blocked her attack.
Looking back at Naruto and seeing his entire body shake, she hissed louder as she stared down the Eyes of God. "He's already gone through enough and now you want him to lose someone that would cost him his sanity! I won't allow something like that to happen to someone as good as he is! I will not let you pervert him like you did us!"
"I have no choice Nyssa!" Eyes yelled back and stopped Hachibi as she was ready to attack once more. "You don't think I've been through enough! I'm virtually a fucking slave to God because of these eyes, but I will not let anyone else bare this curse and take them out! This is his will and even though I don't like it, I have to follow through or someone else will take my place and have to bare the burdens I do! AND WHERE DO YOU GET OFF TELLING ME HE'S GONE THROUGH ENOUGH?! LOOK AT WHAT YOU HAVE TURNED HIM INTO! He's not even human any more!"
Naruto was snapped out of his shock as Eyes had finally shown emotion and even some humanity as he yelled at the snake and even called her by her human name. But what had caught his attention was his comment about him no longer being human. Speaking in a low, but deathly tone, Naruto rose out of his chair as his cursed chakra began to flow around him. "What? What do you mean I'm no longer human?!"
Hachibi flinched and turned away from Naruto as tears began streaming down from her eyes. She didn't want to answer him, but she knew she would have to sooner or later when he began to notice.
Seeing his gaze was solely focused on her, she turned to him with her eyes already turning red as she was crying her heart out. "Naruto… There was another reason why I wanted you to get the second stage of the curse seal. It allowed everything I've done to modify your body to the way it is now come to fruition. I only wanted you to be happy and you seemed so content on learning my arts and becoming more like a snake…"
"What did you do?!" Naruto hissed as he reached her and was ready to grip her by the throat but was unable to move his arms as Eyes had them firmly locked. He was unsure how, but he knew it had to deal with the power of his eyes as he could no longer even feel his arms. But he didn't care; he wanted to know what the snake demon had done.
Flinching at his voice, more tears began flowing down her face as she collapsed onto her bottom before looking up at Naruto with pleading eyes. "I've been altering your DNA ever since you were a child to keep you alive… But when you took an interest in the snake arts… That is when I began changing it even more while not killing you due to a rapid alteration of your DNA… At the rate I set it… You will become a half demon when you are fifteen and full fledged demon when your twenty-one… Not only that… But you will become the legendary ten tail demon that Eyes never created in fear its power could actually destroy the world. …Let him go. I deserve to be hit for what I've done."
Eyes did as she wished and Hachibi closed, but she felt no sting to her face after a few minutes. Opening her eyes, she noticed Naruto had now taken a seat next to her, his hair covering his eyes. Her tears died away slowly as she became more worried for her vessel… No, she wanted to be more then that to him. Biting her lip and keeping her personal feelings out of it, she reached out to touch him when he gripped her wrist tightly. She winced, but made no effort to break his grip as she deserved it in her mind. Seeing his violet eyes look into hers, she was surprised as he released his grip on her wrist and smiled. "So I'm truly becoming what the assholes have called me… And now I'm under the apprenticeship of the snake sannin. …This might be the best thing you've ever done… But how do I tell neko-chan…"
"She knows Naruto. Nibi had already told her as she knew I was too afraid to tell you." Hachibi admitted as she continued looking Naruto in the eyes. "You don't have to worry about her accepting this from you… She knows even more then you think; hatchling. …She's telepathic."
Naruto jumped back in surprise hearing that his mate had been telepathic the entire time they had been with each other. He would have said something about it, Eyes nodded before continuing. "That she is. A rare gift the Mind of God rarely gives humans and even less so to those with demonic blood in their veins. But back to you, prophesized one."
Quickly catching his tone turning back to his normal, emotionless voice, Naruto turned his attention back to Eyes as he gazed upon him. "Now you know the truth about what you are and what you have become, but do not be afraid of it. Yes, you will lose someone very close to you, but it will only turn into strength. It is up to you to try and keep them from dying and not to resort to the power that has been granted to you. I know how much it hurts to lose someone, even if it isn't by death. I loved Yonbi, but she turned her back on me and left me with my duty to God for what I did to her… Do everything in your power to keep your family and friends safe and you will be the happiest living being on the planet."
Understanding what Eyes was getting at, he felt a little better. Personally, he didn't want him to use the eyes but if the worse came to be, he would have them. Maybe the guy wasn't as much of an ass as the story made him out to be. Getting a twitching eye from Eyes at his mental comment, he cursed as he could hear his thoughts and shook his head before looking Eyes dead in the eye as his own burned brightly. "You have my word. I will become strong enough that the eyes heaven granted me won't even be needed. I will not let my family die because of this new threat that wants to destroy this world. Every single fiber of my being will not let that happen. I guarantee it."
Eyes only smiled at him, this one visible as a small amount of teeth was shown, even if it was still covered in the shadows. "That is good boy… But because of what Hachibi did, you are to become the Demon King that has been coming for thousands of years. Kyuubi knows of this, but doesn't know it is you and that is why you have an advantage on the reigning Queen of Demons. You are the Prince as of now and do not have the strength to beat her, but your will is all that is needed to defeat her."
Hachibi quickly turned to Eyes as she tried to figure why the conversation turned so quickly until she felt it. Her blood began to boil as she turned to eyes and listened in on what he was going to say. "I have a way for you to defeat her in a battle of wills, but you must stay within here for one hour as I transfer the knowledge to you. No matter what, you aren't to leave this room and if you do, nothing can save your loved one."
Sirens blew around them as a large tremor coursed through the entire complex to Naruto's surprise as he looked at Eyes, who continued to gaze upon him unblinking. "She attacks now. Do you have what it takes to wait for what is needed to save those you love?"

A/N2 : This chapter was actually much shorter then I attended it to be. About two to three thousand at that. I know a lot of you probably want to shot me for leaving it at a cliff hanger like I did, but I had to as the next one will be well worth the wait. This one was, mainly because it was Naruto's and Yugito's first lemon in the story and I had too much fun writing it! …Anyways, I know there are going to be many questions about this chapter, so please leaven them in a review and please no flaming about the damn cliff hanger. I'm hating myself for that too right now. Peace Out.
P.S. For anyone that hasn't already figured it out, The Naruto Chronicles have been updated and if you read this story, there is a decent chance you also read the Chronicles.

-----------------------------------------------
"Why did I agree to this again?" Sasuke asked in an annoyed tone as Sakura helped him as they limped together, still feeling the after affects of their battle against their other teammate, who was currently carrying a very pissed off Tayuya.
"Because shit heads, you didn't want to split up your team and neither of you want to return to that crack house village you call home." Tayuya answered with her nose in the air, not liking her situation whatsoever.
"Bitch, if you don't shut up I'm going to create a clone and drop your ass back at the Valley of the End so you will have to drag your ass all the way back here." Naruto said as he was becoming very aggravated by her constant cussing. While he himself cussed, she was taking it too far and he was ready to give her the boot.
Tayuya wisely said nothing as she knew she was in no shape to fight and that Naruto seemed to be in the best condition of all of them at the moment. In fact she was slightly scared as his eyes flashed a violent purple and she knew that he was a jinchuuriki and had not resorted to his bijuu's power as of yet. Taking a look of her surroundings, she pointed towards a thicket of brush and trees. "The base location of the Sound is fifty meters past that brush. So please hurry… I have a few things a woman needs to do in private."
Naruto nodded and picked up his pace a little as Sakura and Sasuke continued limping after him. Passing through the thicket she pointed to and jumping a few trees, he saw what seemed to be a stone building with a door. It wasn't much to look at, but evaluating the entire sight he was able to quickly determine why there weren't any other buildings. "The village of the Sound is an underground village. Hmp, makes sense with Orochimaru in hiding from Konoha and God knows what else."
Seeing the red head in his arms nod and that Sakura and Sasuke had caught back up to him, they headed for the entrance to notice a few people waiting outside. The first he quickly recognized as Orochimaru as no one else had paler skin then him except for the snake sannin. The next was easily identified as well as Sakura smiled lightly as she released Sasuke and limped towards her. "Tsunade-sensei… I've come to finish my training."
As Tsunade smiled at the pink hair kunoichi, a girl with fiery red hair that was combed on one side on wild on the other that also had glasses that seemed a little too big for her walked up and shook her head at Tayuya. "Over estimated your opponents again didn't you."
"Shut up bitch." Tayuya answered simply, which resulted in Naruto dropping her on the ground indignantly.
Karin only shook her head as she slowly helped Tayuya to her feet making sure not to place any pressure no her broken leg. "It also seems you can still piss off people that you just met."
As Tayuya rolled her eyes, the stone door slowly opened to reveal a teen with long, unbound blonde hair, slanted emerald eyes and a butterfly mark on her collar. Naruto's eyes quickly turned to her as hers fell onto him and there was a brief silence before the blonde girl smiled softly before suddenly fazing out of existence. Blinking as he saw this, Naruto tried to search for her until he felt himself be embraced in a tight grip and his vision was clouded by long strains of golden fibers. Not even hesitating, he wrapped his hands around her and kissed her forehead. "Hey love… how do you feel?"
"Better… Now that you're here." Yugito spoke in a soft voice as she continued nuzzling her head into his chest and neck, which was slightly awkward as she was a few inches taller then he was and being a few years older. Looking up at him, she straightened up a little and brought her lips to his. She moaned softly as he pressed his lips back and deepened the kiss, not caring that the others were looking at them both. In fact, she wanted them to see this to let them know he was hers.
Soon as they broke their kiss, a cough caught their attention and they all turned to the snake sannin with his arm wrapped around Tsunade's shoulders. "While that was sweet and all, I think its time we head inside just incase they sent any hunters after you four."
Naruto nodded as he wrapped his arms around Yugito's waist and followed the two sannin into the stone entrance with the rest right behind. After a few moments of travel through the halls, Naruto concluded that he was severely lost and vowed to have his shadow clones explore the maze like tunnels and make a map of the place. He noticed that the red haired girl had taken Tayuya a different direction, probably to get checked out. Seeing Orochimaru stop in front of a hallway with doors, he stopped as well as both sannin turned around. "The room on the left is your room Sasuke and the one on the right is yours Sakura. This is our elite hallway where my most trusted subordinates sleeping quarters are located. Both of you need rest and tomorrow I'll send Karin to collect you for your second stage of the seal."
Sasuke didn't even need to be told twice and walked into his room, ready to pass out once more. He had kept himself up on pure will and he was going to pass out soon as he hit the bed. Sakura only nodded as she bowed to Tsunade before walking into her room, almost as tired as Sasuke was from the events that had happened not to long ago. Naruto frowned, but he noticed Orochimaru motioned for them to follow and he did so as he didn't know the layout of the village.
After a few dozen turns and a headache, Naruto and Yugito found themselves in front of a solid steel door before Orochimaru opened it and beckoned them within. Naruto's jaw hit the floor seeing the decoration in the room that were seemingly similar to that of Orochimaru's room, however a little different when Yugito noticed the bed and saw a painting of a ten tailed snake hanging above it. As Naruto was still in shock at the room and was admiring the golden snake statues, Yugito only shook her head as she turned to Orochimaru. "What is with the painting? There are only nine tailed demons and the eight tail is the snake. So why have a painting of a ten tailed snake?"
Orochimaru shook his head as he looked over at the painting before his eyes coasted over to Naruto before quickly turning back to Yugito. "Don't worry about it. That will be explained in due time to both of you." Looking back over at Naruto and smiling as his fascination had turned to the book shelf. "Most of the books on that shelf are books of seals I have taken from other villages and even from the seal master that taught Jiraiya and the Yondaime Hokage. That shelf has more knowledge on seals then even I have and I've read half of those books."
As Naruto's eyes widened even more as he pulled one out and began to examine it, Tsunade shook her head as the boy was just as fascinated about learning new things as her mate was. She absently wondered if all snakes were as curious as they were, but she shook it off as she turned to Yugito as she knew she would be the one that was paying attention. "This room is both yours and your mate's room. The bathroom is the door in the back so you won't have to use the men's or the women's showers/bath house like a lot of the others have to. Seeing that we have some work to do, we'll leave you two alone. Tell Naruto once his head is out of that book that Kabuto will be sent here in the morning to pick him up. …And brat, Kage Bunshin learn whatever you do so use them to read! You have more important things to deal with."
With that, both the snake and slug sannin left the room. As they left, Orochimaru turned to his mate and gave her a strange look. "Okay, what was that about? I know I have to set up the sealing of your student and Sasuke, but I don't have much else to do other then some paper work, which my clones are doing at this moment."
Tsunade just stayed quit with a small grin on her face before she touched the door and it turned blue before turning the other direction and walking off. Orochimaru's face dropped seeing that and knowing it was a privacy seal she just activated. He had to wonder why she did that before he put two and two together and quickly walked away from the room, not wanting to be caught trying to peep on them.
Naruto just blinked as both Orochimaru and Tsunade left the room before creating a dozen clones and sent them off to read the books. As he did so, he had to wonder what she meant by having something more important to do. Shrugging as he handed the book he was reading to one of his clones, he pulled off his pack as he noticed Yugito lying on the bed with… "Hey, that's my CD player."
Yugito just smiled at him as she tilted her head at him while still on the bed before taking it off and giving him an innocent smile. He absently wondered how she was able to get it out of his pack and then out of his scroll, but he decided not to ask as Yugito had a talent for doing things that defied the laws of nature. Shaking his head as he sat on the bed next to her, he felt pretty awkward about the entire situation. Sure, he had marked her as his mate before leaving Konoha but this was something else. Taking a look at the mark he had gave her, he smiled lightly as he rubbed it gently as she looked over at him. "Thank you, hebi-kun."
He would have normally founded this name offensive as Anko and Ino were the ones that started calling him that; however it was Yugito that called and for some reason it had a certain term of endearment to it now. But this raised his question of what she was thanking him for. He couldn't think of anything he did that she needed to thank him for, so he was left with a questioning look before she lifted herself off the bed and kissed him lightly on the lips. "Thank you for the best birthday present I've ever received."
That caught Naruto off guard as he actually never asked when her birthday was and apparently it was today. Hell, even if he had known he would have probably had forgotten as he lost track of time when he was studying and training as hard as he could. It did answer his question before as to why she thanked him, but this left a new one that he had to have answered. Kissing her back, he smiled lightly as he scooted closer to her and rubbed her cheek lightly. "Your welcome love, but how old does that make you?"
She frowned at him before smiling and playfully hitting him in the chest. She snickered lightly as he faked being hurt by her punch and looked at her with innocent puppy-dog eyes that seemed more sinister then innocent. "I'm now seventeen for your information. I thought you would have known that by now."
"Eh, I forget my brother's age and birthday so give me a break, babe." Naruto said with a straight face before smiling as he titled his head at her before turning back to all his clones with a tick mark on his head. "NO WATCHING! GET BACK TO WORK!"
All of them groaned as they were no longer paying attention to their books making Naruto twitch before dispelling all of them while grumbling about disobedient clones. He felt a tug at his jacket and looked back as he saw Yugito pulling it off and shrugged as he undid his belts before bending his arms back and his jacket easily came off. Yugito frowned as she easily took the jacket off before shaking her head as she noted that he wore a fishnet shirt underneath his jacket. "Well, I guess I'm going to have to get use to having a mate more flexible then I am."
"What?" Naruto said as he heard Yugito's comment before catching her eyes as she looked at him before rubbing his collar bone softly. Realizing what was going on, he slowly brushed his hand through her hair before nodding lightly. "It's alright, go ahead."
Getting the okay Yugito nuzzled his chin before licked at the spot on his collar bone she was planning on leaving her mark. She felt him shudder at the feeling and smiled as she ran her fingers over his shoulders before she opened her mouth and carefully bit down onto the marked spot. She felt him cringe slightly as her fangs pierced his skin but with his hand still combing through her hair, she flowed a small amount of her chakra into her fangs and into his system. Once it finished entering her system, she pulled back a little before licking away the blood from his neck. Just as it did on her, a black mark began to form where she bit him before smiling as it took shape. "Well at least now I know where my heart belongs."
Catching her words, Naruto stretched his hand over and grabbed the hand held mirror on the night stand before bringing it over. "Well… Eh, can't complain too much about it. Now if anyone calls me gay for having a heart tattoo however… Ow." He rubbed his shoulder as he looked at a flushed Yugito, who had just punched him. Putting the mirror back on the stand, he cupped her face before kissing her deeply, letting his tongue slide into her mouth. Breaking the kiss after a moment of their tongues battling, he rubbed her face lightly once more before embracing her. "Thank you for accepting me for who I truly am, neko-chan."
Yugito smiled as she wrapped her arms around him tightly as a single tear drop fell from her right eye. Seeing this, Naruto pulled back and wiped the tear away with a gentle flick of his finger. "And you'll never have to worry about being alone again."
"I know." Yugito spoke softly as she laid her head against his chest and began to purr softly as his hands stroked through her hair. "And neither shall you. …I was just so afraid of admitting I liked you… That I thought this never would happen… I was so afraid that I would end up with someone like that bastard Hiboruto that… That I thought we would never be together and now that we are… I feel… Complete."
As he saw more tears beginning to fall from her eyes, Naruto wiped his hands over her cheeks before kissing her once more. As she looked at him as her body trembled lightly, he smiled lightly as he wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly. "I know Yugi, I know. I'm guilty of not noticing it sooner and acting upon it. I finally now know why Hachi always said I was oblivious to all the signs. So it is my fault to, but don't worry about it. We have the rest of our lives together now, so let's live for the time we've got and not worry about what we didn't realize before."
Smiling as she began to calm down, he laid down with her still in his grip as she wrapped her arm him and buried herself into him as she curled into a comfortable ball. Shaking his head at his love he kissed her forehead lightly before looking down at her. "Sorry I couldn't get you a better birthday present. But I promise I'll get you something, alright?"
Hearing purring from her, he smiled as he took that as a yes and was about to close his eyes when she looked up at him with a lustful smile and spoke in a sultry voice. "Oh, I think there is something you can give me right now that shows how much you care for me."
Naruto had to reboot his brain in order to understand what she had said before his normally pale skin turned beat red as he realized what she was hinting at. He wasn't sure why as he shouldn't have been as embarrassed as he had romps with Hachibi, Anko's multiple performance session and the one with Nibi before, but he really hadn't expected Yugito to even hint at that especially after catching some of her life back in the Cloud. Regaining his composure and cursing himself for being so easily aroused, he looked her in the eyes before taking a deep breath. "Are you sure about that neko-chan? I mean we don't have…"
"Naruto, that was four years ago and I received counseling for it. So it's not like I'm going to freak out on you halfway through. Besides, as you said we should live for the time we've got left and not worry, right? Well, let's not worry about it." Yugito told Naruto as she looked up at him with a lighter smile before kissing him gently on the lips. Nodding lightly as they broke the kiss, Naruto attempted to roll on top of her before she squirmed out of his grip and off the bed. "Hold on, I'll be right back. Got to take care of some business first."
Watching her head towards the bathroom, Naruto shook his head lightly as he undid his sash and placed it on his jacket before taking off his mesh shirt. Sighing lightly as he leaned back against the back board of the bed, he closed his eyes as he let everything sink in. He had finally had left the place of his hatred and was now in the Sound with the promise of power and happiness. The latter had already been given to him, but would he have had it if he stayed in Konoha? He shook his head as he knew the answer. He would have as some asshole or bitch would have intervened and he would have lost Yugito one way or another.
His eyes snapped open as he felt the bed lower slightly and he looked straight into the eyes of his blonde lover, who was now bare of any clothes. He was hard pressed not to blush, but that quickly washed away as her lips met his. His tongue quickly invaded her mouth as he gripped her shoulders as her hands played with the buttoning on his pants before he flipped them to where she was on her back. This only allowed her to wrap her long legs around his thighs as she undid his buttoning but before she could do anything, his hands had made their way to her full breasts and began to press and squeeze them a little harder then he was meaning to.
Gasping at the feeling as she broke their kiss, she looked up at her pale lover before letting out a soft moan as he continued rolling her breasts in a certain circular pattern so that the meshed together every now and then. Moaning a little more often, she watched him move his head down and taking her right nipple into his mouth before biting down on it. She gasped loudly in surprised as he pulled on it until it snapped back leaving two small cuts as his fangs caught her nipple. Gasping against as he repeated the favor to her other before kissing it gently before lapping the small amount of blood and her nipple at the same time.
Looking up at her face, he smirked as he could see her looking at him needily but he hadn't even begun as he licked her perfectly round breasts while dragging his fangs gently along them leaving light scratch marks. Hearing her gasps from his mate, he smirked as he planted kisses between her twins before moving down, continuing to kiss every few inches while purposely drag his fangs along her skin lightly. Feeling her body shudder and hearing her mutter something under her breath; he smirked as he reached her pelvis before he planted a kiss on her fold.
She couldn't help but squeal as he did that and nearly grabbed his head but settled for coasting her hands through his blonde mane. Her eyes widened as he gave her womanhood a deliberately long lick and couldn't help but moan out as he settled for small quick licks at her clitoris as his fingers slowly began to probe inside of her. Her entire body spasmed from the feel as it was quite different for someone else to do this for her. She moped in disappointment as his fingers left her before she yelped in surprise.
He smirked as her entire body rippled as her inner walls contracted around his tongue as it dove into her. He knew exactly where to go after all his work on Hachibi and his payments to her, which he absently noticed she hadn't asked for ever since he was involved with Yugito. Kicking that thought out of his head with his chibi Naruto form, he sent a small surge of chakra to his tongue along with a small pulse from Hachibi to elongate his tongue and give it a little fork like tip. He knew that surprised her as she screamed and he suddenly found himself on the wrong end of a powerful release.
Panting at the feeling he just gave her, Yugito looked at him with a certain gleam in her eyes before her hands lashed towards his pants and quickly pulled them off with one stroke. She frowned at the boxers he was wearing, however they didn't matter as what she wanted was hanging through the slit in full length. Not even thinking about what she was doing, she nuzzled against before bringing her tongue to the base of the shaft and slowly licking towards the plump head. She smirked as she felt him quiver from her lick and gave him a few more good and long licks before she looked up at him with desire in her eyes. "Hebi-kun, I want it now."
Nodding at her, he was about to lay her down when she jumped up and onto him, nearly forcing him onto his back. Naruto could only shake his head before he felt her slick folds rubbing up and down his long shaft. His spine shivered from the feel before he felt both her hands grip his shaft. Groaning lightly, he placed his hands on her waist and lifted her up as she aligned herself before he slowly let her sink onto him. Feeling the same constricting that was on his tongue before, he groaned along with his moaning mate as she completely inserted him within her. Hitting something as she did so, he felt her gasp and he had to look at her oddly as he didn't feel this when he was taken into the forest of death tower with Anko, in his mind with Hachi or when Nibi raped him.
Seeing the look on his face, she shook her head as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "You're the perfect size for me… And you still have time to grow." At this a large bead of sweat was falling from the back of her head and she knew he was only going to get larger in the next couple of years making her wonder if she could take him if his inner demon had her way.
Inside both demon vessels, a certain cat and snake were going through this very conversation trying to figure out how to grow him without him hurting or ripping Yugi too badly but being big enough to reach into them all the way.
Shaking his head at her, he kissed her lightly on the lips before he slowly began to push his hips into her. Getting a gasps before they turned into low moans, he couldn't help but groan lightly himself as her walls pulsing around his muscle within her as it gripped it tightly. As he thrusted a little harder into her, her moans picked up and as she laid her head onto his shoulder he was able to her melodious voice at work. Varying his speed, he got different moans from her and different bucks to them, he nuzzled the back of her head as he held her tightly to him as he began to pick the pace up more as he knew he would near his limit soon.
Yugito was already nearing her release as it was far too much for her. He was hitting every nerve within her with his various pumps and with him hitting her cervix, which she learned was very sensitive, she was about to blow. She really wanted to scream from the pleasure she was in, but it could only come out in a low moan as sweat streamed from her pours. She was tiring and quickly and with the last stroke within her, she couldn't hold herself back as she gave a long, low moan as juices flowed down Naruto's ten inches far faster then before. She continued moaning as he stroked himself into her before pulling herself up a little. "Naruto, please don't… release inside… I'm not ready…"
She didn't have to finish her statement as Naruto knew what she meant. He had received the talk about not doing that inside of other girls from Anko. He was quite glad she was sterile and had told informed him that other women weren't and didn't want to become mothers after the first time with the man they loved. Feeling himself beginning to churn, he pulled her off him and was just going to let it go when he saw Yugito drop to the surface of the bed and began to lick his shaft once more. Never getting this from the others he had been with, he couldn't help it as his seed burst from his member and fell onto her face and mouth.
Looking down at her, he had a small bead of sweat fall from his head as she made no attempt to clean herself off like the first time when Nibi purposely got her hit by his release and instead, began licking him clean. Trying not to get hard again as he knew she wasn't ready for another round, he slowly pried her off before thoroughly wiping around her mouth and kissed her on the lips. "That was brilliant, love."
Yugito could only nod as she looked at him with half lidded eyes before yawning loudly. Shaking his head and wrapping his arms around her waist, she meshed herself into him and began purring as she drifted to sleep.
Naruto could only shake his head as he pulled the covers over them and laid his head on the pillow and looked at his blonde haired mate. He had made the right decision in coming. This was the best situation for both of them.
-----------------------------------------------
It was morning and Naruto was sitting on the edge of the bed as Yugito as comfortably sleeping in a curled up ball with a pillow. While he wanted to be the one she was gripping right now, he could sense something and wanted to know what it was. He had woke up a few times in the night as his Taiingan activated without reason and felt as if something was screwing around with them. He had quickly gone to Hachibi, but the snake was just as alert to what was happening and she didn't like it either.
He was thoroughly unsettled by this but at the same time he didn't want to worry Yugito about it. He already had created his clones and with the secret of the technique he had just caught last night, he was mapping the complex structure out. He had it mostly figured out and was ready to get dressed when he heard a knock at his door and answered it in a monotone voice. "Just a minute."
The said knock jolted Yugito awake and she noticed she was cuddled against a pillow and saw Naruto on the edge of the bed with his chin resting on his hands. Knowing that something was up as Naruto wouldn't have left her in the night; she crawled behind him and wrapped her arms under his and around his chest. "Naruto, is something up? Why aren't you in bed?"
Looking back at her, he knew trying to play it off as nothing wouldn't work as her eyes were looking at him with worry. He couldn't lie to her now and he felt compelled to tell her the truth. Sighing to himself, he looked away as he activated his Taiingan and saw who was at the door. "I don't know, love. My eyes have been activating randomly during the night and it felt like someone was tampering with them. At first I thought it was the snake, but she mentioned the event in the Wave when this happened and said it was happening again."
Yugito frown at this as she pressed her body against him, trying to console her mate and there was nothing to worry about even if she knew it wasn't the truth. Seeing him shake his head, he placed his hand on her stomach before lightly kissing her. "Go clean yourself, Orochimaru is here for something."
Seeing her nod and quickly enter the bathroom, Naruto stood up and opened the door for the snake sannin. "So what's going on that you didn't send Kabuto here for?"
"We found Gaara last night. He has multiple fractures throughout his body and a certain external organ needs repairing and refueling." Orochimaru said in a rigid voice.
This quickly caught Naruto's attention as a low hiss vibrated through his throat. "Kyuubi?!" Seeing the snake sannin nod, Naruto refrain from lashing out and striking the wall. "Let me and Yugito dress first…"
"Here, these are some clothes Tsunade rounded up for you on her way to the nearest town. That's how she found Gaara on her way back. Meet me in the throne room in twenty minutes seeing that your clones have scoped the area very well." Orochimaru spoke as he handed two bags over to him, one with his name and the other with Yugito's name on it.
Naruto nodded and took the bags before closed the door as Orochimaru left. Knocking on the bathroom door as he heard the shower water on, he informed Yugito she had a new set of clothes and put them in the room before he pulled his out. Pulling out his clothes from his bag, he had to admit he liked the colors and could tell armor had been crafted within them as they were heavier then normal. His shirt was a deep orange and his pants were pitch black and he got a new pair of combat boots as his old ones were becoming worn. Finally, there was a deep purple jacket, almost aubergine in color that flowed to the back of his knees and gave off the look of a mini trench coat.
Liking the look as he strapped his pouch to his left leg, he saw Yugito exit and smiled as her looked hadn't really changed all that much. This time however she was wearing a shirt that was pitch black from the color down to the mid section of her breasts then a plum purple down. Her pants however had black legs while her hips were the same purple as her shirt. To add on however, he noticed a small box in his bag and shook his head as he looked inside the first. "I guess Tsunade wants us to make it official as well… Well, seeing as we're mates this shouldn't be too hard."
Yugito blinked at him before she saw the jewelry box and froze as Naruto decided to go through the motions with a slight smile on his face, even if it was still completely serious. Before he could even asked the question she had him in the deadliest death grip ever known to mankind, even worse then that of a certain bipolar freak's with an orange mask that shall remain nameless death hug. "YES!"
As he was turning blue from the lack of air, she let go of him before gently taking the box from his collapsed form as he gasped for breath. As she looked at the ring, she gasped before picking Naruto off the ground and death hugging him once more even though she knew he hadn't gotten the ring for her. However, it didn't matter as he was still giving it to her. Feeling him tap her shoulder, she looked at Naruto and saw he was purple in the face before letting him go to recover his breath as she nervously laughed. "He, he, he… Sorry about that hebi-kun."
Regaining his breath and pulling himself to his feet and dusting himself off. Shaking his head and kissing her on the forehead, he helped put the ring on before motioning for her to follow. "Come on. Orochimaru wanted us in his throne room as Tsunade found Gaara near death and missing a lot of a certain male fluid…"
Yugito growled that sounded somewhat like a hiss before following Naruto as he led the way to the said room. She absently wondered how he knew where he was going, but didn't say a thing as Naruto was an enigma at times that just couldn't be solved. Seeing grand doors with a golden snake in the middle of them, she pushed them open with Naruto as they didn't expect it to open as easily as it did. She noticed two closed barrels like the one the Sound Four had and a little purple smoke flowing from within them and wondered what was going on when Naruto answered it for her as he addressed Orochimaru after a light bow. "So it seems that you've started Sakura's and Sasuke's level two rituals… But what is this about Gaara?"
Tsunade appeared besides Orochimaru sitting in his throne seat before seating herself on the slightly lower chair to the next of it. She was a little tired from having to heal Tayuya then Gaara, but it was worth it. "He's recovering right now and it shouldn't take long due to his condition, but due to his mental condition before this is going to leave a large scar that will probably never heal. There is no doubt the kitsune did something horrible to him, but I'm guessing it had to be a mind altering illusion as this would make the six tail that she has received."
"We've also contacted the Sand about a trade to return Gaara to them; however they want nothing to due with him any longer so he'll be staying here and will become an Oto shinobi just like the rest of you. I just want to let you know so that if he starts acting any blood thirstier then usual to put a stop to it." Orochimaru spoke with a little enthusiasm in his voice at that part. He wouldn't be the first to admit having multiple jinchuuriki really beefed up your military presence especially after the training they were going to receive.
Sighing as he leaned back into his chair, loving how comfortable it actually was, he looked down at both Naruto and Yugito. "But with Kyuubi having six of her tails back and the Akatsuki now having capture three of the bijuu, two of which Kyuubi has taken a tail from, there is no doubt she will be coming after both of you before taking the Red Dawn on herself. This is a lose-lose situation as the kitsune can do serious damage to our village however if she goes up against the Akatsuki, they will tear her down because the kitsune has forgotten about the Eternal Sharingan of Madara's and does not believe he is still alive."
Knowing her husband was having a rough time with everything that was happening today as was she; she rubbed his shoulder lightly before finishing for them. "Even with all the risk of keeping you here constantly, we have to ground you in the village until we can either capture the nine tail or weaken her to keep her from going after the Akatsuki. Under no circumstances can they get the fox otherwise all the shinobi nations will fall and a new world order will be established. That is the reason Otogakure has been formed. To become the greatest of the shinobi nations and to put an end to the Akatsuki's flawed plan. None of us may be perfect and every single person her is a traitor of some sort, however this is the cause we strive for and one day, the Sound will no longer have to hide like we do now."
Nodding with his wife, Orochimaru stood up tiredly before kissing Tsunade lightly on the lips and whispered into her ear. "Naruto, would you come with me? There is something you must see. Yugito, you can go back to your room or go to the training area. Kabuto will show you the way either way as I know you don't know the layout yet."
As he finished, Kabuto appeared out of the shadows before Orochimaru motioned for Naruto to follow. Heading to the back of the room, he was greeted by nothing but darkness. It was so dark that he had to activate his Taiingan to keep sight of the snake sannin as they passed through the hallways without any of the torches being lit. "Why is it so dark back here?"
"Because what you are about to learn needs to be kept in the dark from everyone except those who you absolutely trust. I would have asked your mate to come with you; however he wanted to see you alone." Orochimaru spoke in dark tone as they reached two doors only visible by light candle light. Watching the sannin pull the door, Naruto was thrown for a loop as the sannin beckoned him in. "Go ahead, he is waiting for you."
Slowly walking in, Naruto was unsure of what was going to happen now as the door closed behind him. The room was completely dark and even with his Taiingan, he could see nothing. Before he knew it, all the torches within the room went up in flames as a throne chair not unlike Orochimaru's appeared along with a man that had no color then black sat on the throne with his legs crossed. Naruto immediately jumped into a defensive stance before froze as power like no other washed over him in waves.
"Welcome my child. Do not worry; I am not to harm you." The man spoke before his eyes opened to reveal the endless white with a blue x-shaped iris.
To Naruto's shock and surprise, his body unfroze itself as soon as the eyes met his. He had felt his inner-demon freeze as well and when he unfroze, so did she and she was not happy. In fact he could feel the anger boiling from within his stomach before it slowly dimmed to nothing as he looked over at the man enshrouded by the shadows. "Who are you and what do you want?!"
The man only laughed as his eyes stared at him, unblinking. "Ah, it's so funny how living beings must give something a name when it is meant to not have one. But I will humor you as we will be talking for a while. Seeing as I have no name, you may call me Eyes as that is the only feature I allow to be seen by any mortal being."
Naruto frowned as he heard the man speak and was seriously getting a little freaked out as he didn't seem to blink. And the way he referred to himself was disturbing him as well. It was as if he wasn't human… "Ah, you finally are beginning to realize I'm not a mortal being."
Naruto's eyes narrowed and clinched his fist tightly as he did not like this as all, but allowed the man to continue. "Yes, I'm not a human or a demon at that. I am… A messenger from God."
"I allow people to call me Eyes as I am a part of the almighty now as I possess the Eyes of God making me a divine being with power far beyond this world can comprehend. This power had a sacrifice however. I lost all my humanity when I stumbled upon these eyes. Eyes that you will be allowed access to the power they hold."
"What?!" Naruto exclaimed as he was thrown back in shock at what he heard.
"Relax; you will not lose your humanity. I only added a small portion of what these eyes can do into your eyes forth stage. I'm sorry for any inconvenience, however God wished it to be done and I obeyed his will. You will not have to worry of the burden these eyes carry, only I will." The man answered without any emotion being expressed within his voice.
Feeling slightly better, Naruto took a deep breath as he placed his hands in his pocket. "Alright, so say you are the Eyes of God and you happen to have all this power. Why not use it for the better of humanity or to at least give us the chance to make it better? Why allow people like my mate, my brother and myself have to go through the lives we had to get to this point? Why…"
"Divine beings cannot intervene with the mortal realm outside of contact and we rarely do because something normally goes wrong when we contact the world of the living." Eyes interrupted as he smirked lightly although Naruto was unable to see it.
Narrowing his eyes, Naruto was about to demand an answer when Hachibi's voice came from within. "Summon me…"
Being caught off guard by his tenant's request, no demand, Naruto narrowed his eyes further before doing as he was told. In a poof of smoke, Hachibi stood besides him in all her glory before slowly walking towards Eyes as he sat in his throne. Her eyes glowed violently as she clenched her fist, however as she reached him, she turned back around at Naruto as she sat on the steps. "He's telling the truth Naruto. Divine beings are not to be allowed to interfere with the life of mortals except with their words. However, there was one incident were it was allowed…"
As Eyes nodded at her, Hachibi closed her eyes and clenched at a necklace Naruto had never seen before. "He was allowed… To create us. The nine bijuu in order to cleanse the world and keep it humanity from self destructing."
Naruto's blood froze as he heard his tenant's voice. It was nothing like he heard before. It was full of hatred, remorse and regret. "… The nine of us were all friends with Eyes when a great war broke out and engulfed the entire world. Weapons that could destroy entire cities and even wipe out some of the smaller countries were unleashed upon this world."
"…We lived in the greatest power in the world at the time; however it had made enemies with the rest of the world. …One day the town we lived in was struck by a nuclear wind and people began to die from the high radiation doses. It was this that prompted Eyes to leave and try to find a cure when the bijuu now known as Yonbi was nearing death."
"She was my lover at that point in time and I would do anything for her… So I tried to cross the mountains to the military base just on the other side when it was struck by hydrogen bomb. The road I was on collapsed and I barely survived when I found myself in a glowing cave."
"Inside that cave, there were two glowing spheres and then I heard his voice… The Almighty had spoke to me and told me to pick up the spheres as they could cure my friends… But when I did, I became what I am now. I still had the power as I was still mortal at the time, but I was becoming Divine quickly. He told me of his will and I… went to find my friends." Eyes continued on before Hachibi stopped him and picked up where he left off.
"The first he turned was Yonbi… He never gave her a choice in the matter. Then he rounded the rest of us up and gave us an escape from the radiation that was killing us. At first we were skeptical, but then we saw Yonbi and how she changed. He never once told of us our goal… And when he transformed us, he informed us that we had to cleanse the world and destroy all the weapons they had created…"
"We did as we were told as he forced to… We killed so many people, even family and friends for the sake of God's will. None of us ever believed that, but when Eyes disappeared from us and would return in front of our eyes without any warning… We began to believe he was telling the truth."
"Humanity was in ruins once the cleansing was finished and all the information on how to continue making the weapons of mass destruction was erased." Eyes interrupted Hachibi as he looked at the snake demon before turning his vision back to Naruto. "Everything was lost, or so it seemed."
"The human race was a resilient one and did not give up and they found a way to emulate the power of the great demons that destroyed their world from help of the great sage at the time. At this time, a prophecy was made and I delivered it to this world. One that would predict small events that have occurred that would save this world."
"Okay, while this is all fine and dandy, what the hell does this has to do with me? So far this story is only about you and what the world was before and the history of the bijuu and I understand I do need to know a little of this as I contain Hachi…"
"Let us finish, then you will understand." Eyes interrupted as he crossed his fingers and laid them into his lap. "There is still more to be told and your impatience is blinding you from seeing the truth of situation."
Naruto nodded as he placed his hands to try in get comfortable. Just as he thought that, a cushioned chair materialized from behind him and tripped him so he sat on top of it. Blinking at what just happen, he looked over at Eyes and he swore he could see a small smirk on his face.
Hachibi sighed as she finally opened her eyes and let go of her necklace and whispered something that he had barely caught. Understanding the necklaces importance to her, he closed his eyes before turning his attention back to Eyes. "I'm sorry for interrupting; please continue."
Eyes nodded as he closed his eyes for a moment before resuming his gaze onto Naruto. Suddenly wisps of smoke began to form in front of him and letters began to form from the smoke until a paragraph was created.
Hope is imminent for humanity,
But darkness still remains.
A new world order arises,
And war follows in its wake.
And from this horrible war,
Five powers emerge for the wreckage.
From the strongest of the five,
Three with great power appear
Destined to wander the world
Seeking to pass on their power.
One of toad, slug and snake they are
And they seek the lighting, earth and wind.
When they are found a new danger emerges
That threatens the world like never before.
Of the three, one stands out
And holds power like no other.
The world rest in thy's hand
So be at ease, the world is safe
As he is blessed with heaven's power.
As Naruto read it, he slowly began to understand everything that was going on and what their story was leading to. He knew of the first Great Shinobi War and the devastation it left the world in. It was from that war that Iwa, Kiri, Konoha, Kiri and Suna emerged as the strongest powers. Years of missions and the occasional minor wars led to another Great Shinobi War and it was Konoha that came out and proved to be the strongest. It was then, the three sannin emerged with power that few could match and began to wander the world, looking for the correct apprentices. "I'm one of the three apprentices… because snake and wind are at the end; I'm to be Orochimaru's apprentice which has come to pass."
Eyes nodded in confirmation as he let Naruto piece together everything he had heard and why he was called her instead of Sakura or Sasuke. The entire time he had a small smirk on his face even if it was unseeable due to the shadows.
Naruto continued to rack his brain as he reread the prophecy over and went over everything until it finally clicked. "The new threat that threatens the world is the Akatsuki and is trying to acquire the power of the past… And of the three apprentices, which are Sakura, Sasuke and myself… I stand out the most because of my status, but more importantly… My ever increasing power. …I'm the one that is blessed with heaven's power? How is that possible?"
Seeing Naruto's attention turn solely onto him, Eyes did nothing before tapping onto his eyes. "As I told you in the beginning, you are being allowed access to the power these eyes contain. Only a small fraction, but some of the power nonetheless. They are your forth stage of your eyes… Your Mangekyou if you will."
"However the requirement on activation is far different. You don't need to kill anyone… But just with any great power, a sacrifice is needed. You must take great losses in order the achieve it. Like the loss of your sensei, Orochimaru and Tsunade, your brother and your teammate… Your mate. You must lose something that means the world to you to activate it."
"Stop it!" Hachibi hissed loudly as her eyes flashed violently and struck at Eyes, only for the same force field that stopped Kyuubi from harming him blocked her attack.
Looking back at Naruto and seeing his entire body shake, she hissed louder as she stared down the Eyes of God. "He's already gone through enough and now you want him to lose someone that would cost him his sanity! I won't allow something like that to happen to someone as good as he is! I will not let you pervert him like you did us!"
"I have no choice Nyssa!" Eyes yelled back and stopped Hachibi as she was ready to attack once more. "You don't think I've been through enough! I'm virtually a fucking slave to God because of these eyes, but I will not let anyone else bare this curse and take them out! This is his will and even though I don't like it, I have to follow through or someone else will take my place and have to bare the burdens I do! AND WHERE DO YOU GET OFF TELLING ME HE'S GONE THROUGH ENOUGH?! LOOK AT WHAT YOU HAVE TURNED HIM INTO! He's not even human any more!"
Naruto was snapped out of his shock as Eyes had finally shown emotion and even some humanity as he yelled at the snake and even called her by her human name. But what had caught his attention was his comment about him no longer being human. Speaking in a low, but deathly tone, Naruto rose out of his chair as his cursed chakra began to flow around him. "What? What do you mean I'm no longer human?!"
Hachibi flinched and turned away from Naruto as tears began streaming down from her eyes. She didn't want to answer him, but she knew she would have to sooner or later when he began to notice.
Seeing his gaze was solely focused on her, she turned to him with her eyes already turning red as she was crying her heart out. "Naruto… There was another reason why I wanted you to get the second stage of the curse seal. It allowed everything I've done to modify your body to the way it is now come to fruition. I only wanted you to be happy and you seemed so content on learning my arts and becoming more like a snake…"
"What did you do?!" Naruto hissed as he reached her and was ready to grip her by the throat but was unable to move his arms as Eyes had them firmly locked. He was unsure how, but he knew it had to deal with the power of his eyes as he could no longer even feel his arms. But he didn't care; he wanted to know what the snake demon had done.
Flinching at his voice, more tears began flowing down her face as she collapsed onto her bottom before looking up at Naruto with pleading eyes. "I've been altering your DNA ever since you were a child to keep you alive… But when you took an interest in the snake arts… That is when I began changing it even more while not killing you due to a rapid alteration of your DNA… At the rate I set it… You will become a half demon when you are fifteen and full fledged demon when your twenty-one… Not only that… But you will become the legendary ten tail demon that Eyes never created in fear its power could actually destroy the world. …Let him go. I deserve to be hit for what I've done."
Eyes did as she wished and Hachibi closed, but she felt no sting to her face after a few minutes. Opening her eyes, she noticed Naruto had now taken a seat next to her, his hair covering his eyes. Her tears died away slowly as she became more worried for her vessel… No, she wanted to be more then that to him. Biting her lip and keeping her personal feelings out of it, she reached out to touch him when he gripped her wrist tightly. She winced, but made no effort to break his grip as she deserved it in her mind. Seeing his violet eyes look into hers, she was surprised as he released his grip on her wrist and smiled. "So I'm truly becoming what the assholes have called me… And now I'm under the apprenticeship of the snake sannin. …This might be the best thing you've ever done… But how do I tell neko-chan…"
"She knows Naruto. Nibi had already told her as she knew I was too afraid to tell you." Hachibi admitted as she continued looking Naruto in the eyes. "You don't have to worry about her accepting this from you… She knows even more then you think; hatchling. …She's telepathic."
Naruto jumped back in surprise hearing that his mate had been telepathic the entire time they had been with each other. He would have said something about it, Eyes nodded before continuing. "That she is. A rare gift the Mind of God rarely gives humans and even less so to those with demonic blood in their veins. But back to you, prophesized one."
Quickly catching his tone turning back to his normal, emotionless voice, Naruto turned his attention back to Eyes as he gazed upon him. "Now you know the truth about what you are and what you have become, but do not be afraid of it. Yes, you will lose someone very close to you, but it will only turn into strength. It is up to you to try and keep them from dying and not to resort to the power that has been granted to you. I know how much it hurts to lose someone, even if it isn't by death. I loved Yonbi, but she turned her back on me and left me with my duty to God for what I did to her… Do everything in your power to keep your family and friends safe and you will be the happiest living being on the planet."
Understanding what Eyes was getting at, he felt a little better. Personally, he didn't want him to use the eyes but if the worse came to be, he would have them. Maybe the guy wasn't as much of an ass as the story made him out to be. Getting a twitching eye from Eyes at his mental comment, he cursed as he could hear his thoughts and shook his head before looking Eyes dead in the eye as his own burned brightly. "You have my word. I will become strong enough that the eyes heaven granted me won't even be needed. I will not let my family die because of this new threat that wants to destroy this world. Every single fiber of my being will not let that happen. I guarantee it."
Eyes only smiled at him, this one visible as a small amount of teeth was shown, even if it was still covered in the shadows. "That is good boy… But because of what Hachibi did, you are to become the Demon King that has been coming for thousands of years. Kyuubi knows of this, but doesn't know it is you and that is why you have an advantage on the reigning Queen of Demons. You are the Prince as of now and do not have the strength to beat her, but your will is all that is needed to defeat her."
Hachibi quickly turned to Eyes as she tried to figure why the conversation turned so quickly until she felt it. Her blood began to boil as she turned to eyes and listened in on what he was going to say. "I have a way for you to defeat her in a battle of wills, but you must stay within here for one hour as I transfer the knowledge to you. No matter what, you aren't to leave this room and if you do, nothing can save your loved one."
Sirens blew around them as a large tremor coursed through the entire complex to Naruto's surprise as he looked at Eyes, who continued to gaze upon him unblinking. "She attacks now. Do you have what it takes to wait for what is needed to save those you love?"

A/N2 : This chapter was actually much shorter then I attended it to be. About two to three thousand at that. I know a lot of you probably want to shot me for leaving it at a cliff hanger like I did, but I had to as the next one will be well worth the wait. This one was, mainly because it was Naruto's and Yugito's first lemon in the story and I had too much fun writing it! …Anyways, I know there are going to be many questions about this chapter, so please leaven them in a review and please no flaming about the damn cliff hanger. I'm hating myself for that too right now. Peace Out.
P.S. For anyone that hasn't already figured it out, The Naruto Chronicles have been updated and if you read this story, there is a decent chance you also read the Chronicles.
