Wakashudo

Naruto collapsed onto his back and stared up at the star filled sky. He tried not to think about how his arms and hands hurt. It was the eighth or tenth day of trying to pop the rubber ball and he didn't feel he was any closer to popping the thing than he had been on the first day. He wished a cat could help him at this stage like it had with the water balloon. Of course if Jiraiya could take some time out of his busy schedule of drinking and flirting to help him in the first place he wouldn't have needed help from a feline.

He knew he wasn't being fair but, the old pervert had spent all of his hard earned cash on women and booze. Just the thought of poor Gama-chan being flat after all those months of carefully feeding him was almost too much. He had been so fat and happy until the old pervert had gotten his hands on him. Of course, now that he remembered that scene he couldn't help but think about those two women who had been hanging off of the Pervy Sage.

His face warmed as he remembered that one of those women hadn’t been wearing anything under her dress. It had only been a glance and he really couldn't make anything out but, the mystery of the dark unknown made blood flow to a certain part of his male anatomy. The last time it had received any attention was from between Konohamaru's feet. It wasn't that the blond had embarked on a campaign of abstaining or anything but, he had either been training or had been sleeping next to the old man.

Still, even after days he was not in the mood right now. Unfortunately, ignoring the tent in his pants proved to be impossible. After a minute he reached down and despite protesting fingers slid his problem under his waistband. However, with the lack of attention little Naruto had been receiving lately he would not go quietly into his pants. He had been producing pre-cum lately and ordinarily this wouldn't be a problem but, it was leaking a lot right now.

The blonde tried to think about chakra and popping the ball but, such an abstract thought was difficult for him to follow with a wet spot pushing up against his belly. The more Naruto tried not to think about it the harder it was to ignore. Giving in to the inevitable he decided to deal with it the old-fashioned way before realizing a problem, he was simply too sore. It hurt to move anything below his elbows. He suddenly wished he had his little friend here to help him with his problem.

Then Naruto had an idea that was either born from his genius or desperation. He had not been so happy to know that the Shadow Clone Jutsu required such a simple hand sign since he had first learned how to do it. Sitting up it took him a minute to force his fingers into the right positions. Then a second later a clone of himself stood before him. It was at that moment he realized how strange the situation was. Would he be receiving a blow job or was this masturbating?

The doppelganger helped him to his feet and they retreated further in the woods wordlessly. When the original Naruto thought they had gone far enough he lead against a tree and the other clone dropped to his knees in front of him. With hands undamaged from days of manipulating chakra his pants were pulled down to his ankle followed by his boxers.

The clone grabbed his rod before licking the glistening tip clean. Naruto smiled and closed his eyes as he leaned against the tree. When his bare butt pressed against the bark of a tree he jumped bucking foreword and almost poking his clone in the eye.

“Hey, watch it,” his clone protested.

“Um, sorry,” the original said. He knew his clone could talk but, they normally didn't.

His doppelganger admitted a dismissive sound and went back to work inhaling half of his member. The clone ran his tongue up and down his inhaled length coding it with saliva. It was warm and pleasant but, definitely different from the way Konohamaru did it. Unexpectedly, he felt one of the clone’s hands start to rub the rest of his still expose erection as the other hand started to climb up his inner thigh before grabbing and then fondling his balls.

The original groaned at the administrations of his double enjoying every second. Unfortunately, he didn't last for many of them. It had been so long and when he did ejaculate he only had enough time to say, “I'm” then he was shooting into his partners mouth.

He collapsed against a tree and had to struggle to remember how to stand. It had been one of those rare mind blowing orgasms that seem to go on for minutes. It was almost like his body was pulsating with pleasure. He kept his eyes close as the sensation slowly faded. Inhaling one last deep breath he opened his eyes and yelped in surprise. The clone was still there.

He was just about to dismiss it when he spoke up, “Hey, it's your turn.” The clone said gesturing towards its pants which had pitched its own tent.

“What,” the blonde said startled, “you're just a clone.”

“I'm a Shadow Clone and you want to do this.”

“Why would I want to do a clone,” Naruto objected not realizing he was technically arguing with himself.

The clone rolled its eyes, “Because you want to know what Konohamaru feels.”

Even as the blonde opened his mouth to object he realized it was true. He was curious and there was a part of him that wondered if Konohamaru could actually enjoy sucking on his thing. Naruto still wasn't sure how he felt about sucking on his friends and Konohamaru was still dry as a bone when he climaxed. How did it feel to get a bunch of stuff in your mouth? Really it hadn't been that long ago that the whole idea of it just seemed too sick to even try. “Drop your pants,” he said reluctantly.

His clone didn't need to be told twice and a second later Naruto realized that a Shadow Clone was truly a duplicate of the original. Even their boxers were the same. Carefully dropping to his knees he examined his member from a completely new view. His doppelganger erection stuck out at a ninety degree angle and the pre-cum was catching the moonlight making it impossible to miss.

Hesitantly he leaned forward and stuck his tongue out to lick the tip like his clone had done to him earlier. Naruto had expected there to be a taste to the clear liquid but, there was nothing. Maybe there wasn't enough of it or maybe there was just no taste to it. Unable to use his hands he placed his tongue on top of the shaft and leaned forward guiding it in. Ordinarily he had no problem taking the entire length of Konohamaru but, he was longer and sort of gagged when he took too much in. Knowing his limit he started to move back and forth.

Naruto remembered that Konohamaru had said he didn't mind his smell so, he tried to inhale. All he smelled was his own sweat but, there was something more to it which wasn't wholly unpleasant or pleasant. Continuing his ministrations he thought he noticed more pre-cum sliding out of the thing in his mouth but, he couldn't be sure it could've just been spit. After a few minutes his clone moaned, “I'm coming.”

Seconds later his mouth was filled with a warm liquid. It shot onto his tongue and slammed against the roof of his mouth. He pulled off quickly and so more of the stuff landed on his chin. Twisting his head around Naruto wiped the white liquid onto his jacket. Most of the stuff was still in his mouth and he resisted the immediate urge to spit it out. It tasted strange, like the skin that sometimes formed on top of ramen but, mostly it was just there. Spitting it onto the ground he noticed that the taste stuck with him.

A second later the clone disappeared and so did the taste. Naruto was left alone in the woods. With effort he was able to pull up his pants and after that was done he tried to figure out what he had learned. It hadn't been bad and for some reason he suspected it would get better with practice but, he did decide on one thing. He was going to make sure that Konohamaru understood that he didn't have to do anything he didn't want to. With that decided the blonde decided to head in for the night.

Naruto walked a little behind Jiraiya board with the traveling. In an attempt to relieve his boredom he tried to start a conversation, “Hey Pervy Sage, this Tsunade used to be on your team when you were my age, Right?”

The older man turned his head slightly to watch him from the corner of his eye, “Yeah, why are you asking?”

“Well, did the third member of your team become famous too?” Naruto almost collided with the man as he stopped suddenly. He frowned up at him curious.

The Sannin opened his mouth but, seemed to change his mind. Running his fingers through his hair he said, “You could say that although, he's more infamous than famous.”

“Infamous,” The Genin echoed not recognizing the word.

The older man looked away into the distance. “He was Orochimaru.”

Naruto would've been less surprised if the other man had just told him that the next Hokage was going to be a dog. “What! He is the guy who attacked the village, he killed the Third. He's evil how could he be on your team?”

Jiraiya laughed but, it didn't sound right to Naruto’s ears. “You think he was always like that? Orochimaru was a kid like everybody else,” the man said as he started walking again.

The Genin tried to picture his companion as a child but, kept coming up with strange images even worse than when he had imagined Kakashi without his mask. Then he suddenly realized that he had been left behind and he ran to ketchup to the old pervert. “What was he like?”

The man didn't respond at first but, after a minute he looked down at him and said, “Quiet, he kept to himself but, after awhile he warmed up to us. It was strange but, he was easy to talk to.” He trailed off and Naruto thought he was finished until he started talking again. “I was with him when he learned that his parents had died. The old man told him and he didn't really react like I thought he would. Orochimaru just stood there for a minute and then walked away.”

He laughed, “I went after him after a little. Found him leaning against a training post in the middle of an empty field. I'm sure he was crying and I didn't do anything. I wasn’t a good friend to him,” Jiraiya shook his head and looked down at Naruto as if he just remembered he was there and looked away immediately.

For his part, Naruto didn't know what to make of what he had just been told. He divided the world into good and bad where good people were always good and bad people were always bad. Part of him knew the world didn't work that way. Haku hadn't been a bad person and Zabuza had even been pretty decent in the end.

Jiraiya suddenly raised a hand and they both came to a halt. He squinted into the distance and Naruto followed suit wondering if there was an enemy approaching but, could barely make out a caravan approaching them from the opposite direction. Without saying a word or breaking his gaze the Sannin pulled out a collapsible telescope. Naruto waited impatiently for some sort of orders.

“Look at the knockers on her. Man they deserve an entire chapter to themselves.

“Pervert,” Naruto spat. The orange clad Genin stomped down the road forgetting about the conversation and subconsciously grateful for it.

Ten days later Naruto was walking down the same road again but, in the opposite direction. The pair had swelled in size to include two females and a pig. The blonde had been unsure of the older of the two at first. Her bad mouthing of the Third and the others who had held the title he so coveted had angered him. Even though he had tried to stay calm he had lost it and yelled at her. Still, after he had won their bet, he kind of liked her now. The necklace he had won off of the woman still felt pleasant against his chest.

Shizune on the other hand had almost gone unnoticed by him at first. However, since they had been traveling together she had been pretty nice to him which made her okay in his book. Ton-Ton hadn't given him any trouble and he hadn’t given the pig any trouble. Occasionally, the Genin did wonder about Ton-Ton gender but, so far he hasn't been bored enough to check.

It was in the late afternoon when they entered a small village. Naruto was in the lead and barely heard the short conversation behind him. “Lady Tsunade.”

“I know I saw it,” Tsunade said cutting her off.

The blonde turned to face the three adults, “What are you two talking about?”

“Hey, this town has a hot spring and its coed,” Jiraiya said almost skipping over to the Inn his tone pitching upward for the last two words.

Naruto ran in front of him waving his arms. “What do you think you're doing? There is another two or three hours of daylight before we have to stop. You can't just delay us so that you can perv at some girls.”

The older man leaned down and put his hands on the young teen’s shoulders and then said as if he was imparting wisdom passed down from great sages. “Naruto, sometimes you have to stop and admire the flowers,” with that he skipped around Naruto and into the building.

The young Genin turned to face the two women hoping that the next Hokage would do something but, to his astonishment she just shrugged and followed him in. Shizune the last hope for any reason forced a smile and shrug as if to say what can you do. He grabbed his hair and yelled in frustration, “Am I the only responsible one here.”

An hour later Naruto was silently grateful that they had stopped. Jiraiya had rented the largest room in the place. Actually it was three. It had a main room with two smaller bedrooms on either side. The room was nice but, it was nothing compared to the banquet that had been served to them. The blonde couldn't remember the last time he had seen so much food in one place before. There had even been ramen. It was almost enough to make up for what he did to poor Gama-chan but, not quite.

The Toad sage leaned forward over his engorged stomach and placed his elbows on the table. “You know Tsunade we really should make use of the hot springs while we're here. Maybe just the two of us could.”

The older woman almost spat out her reply, “I can't believe you're still as big of a pervert as when you were a kid.”

“Hey,” the older man interrupted sounding indignant, “I'll have you know I'm a much bigger pervert now.”

The elderly but, young looking woman slammed her hand down onto the table, “If you think we are going to be using the hot spring at the same time as you than, you’re a bigger fool I thought you were. You and Naruto can go first, so hop to it.”

Naruto who had been stuffing his face perked up when he had heard his name. Looking down at his stomach he said, “I think I'm too full.”

The soon-to-be Hokage waved a hand dismissively, “You'll be fine and besides he needs somebody to keep an eye on him,” she gestured towards Jiraiya.

“That's cruel,” the older man said it with a laugh and then slapped the younger male on the shoulder, “why don't you go on ahead. I'll be there as soon as I finish this,” he gestured towards the sake bottle.

Having no parents Naruto wasn't as familiar with the adult brush-off, not that he didn't get the not-so-subtle hint. Grumbling to himself he left the table heading for the hot springs. It wasn't like there was anything else he could do at this Inn anyways. In the changing room which was separated by male and female he suddenly thought about Konohamaru. He wondered if his little friend ever had been to a hot spring or bathhouse for that matter.

Well, he had taken him to one but, that was purely to see if he could pass as a woman in his Sexy Technique. After he thought about it for a little he decided he probably hadn't. The Sarutobi residence had been huge and probably had more than one bathroom to bathe in. Of course they had showered together and Konohamaru hadn't thought it was weird so, maybe he had been to a bathhouse or a hot spring before. Of course if you had sucked a guy off bathing with him probably wasn't that big of a deal.

Wrapping a towel around himself he jumped straight into the water which was about chest deep. The warm water felt good against his skin and he bobbed up and down for a minute. His thoughts turned back to Konohamaru, this mission was the longest they had been separated since they started doing stuff together. He missed him and not just because of the stuff they did in his bed. He wanted to see the entire trio again and his team.

After a few minutes of floating around he was already bored. When he heard the sound of the door sliding he look up expecting to see Jiraiya walking in but, the person stepped out of the ladies side and he averted his eyes wondering if he should warn her of the imminent arrival of the super pervert.

“How's the water Naruto?”

Naruto spun and recognize the woman as Shizune. In the back of his mind there was a part of his brain that thought this wasn't right. A few months ago he would've ignored it but, recently he had been paying more attention to it. Breaking down the tree walking exercise had started as one of these small thoughts. Pushing it aside but not far he said, “Its fine.”

She slipped into the water and worked her way to the side where they were seats. “This is nice, isn't it? I'm glad we stopped here.”

Naruto grunted in a noncommittal answer then he asked, “Where's Jiraiya?”

“He'll be here in a few minutes.”

If epiphanies were accompanied with sound effects they would've been an audible click as Naruto put a bunch of things together. The strange and short conversation the two women had. Jiraiya’s sudden decision to stay here in this town instead of the next and finally Shizune going into a hot spring where she knew a super pervert would be coming. “What's going on,” his tone was serious and quiet, almost alien to his own ears.

“What are you talking about?”

“Something's going on, what is it?

“There is nothing going on Naruto,” Shizune sounded convincing to him.

Still, Naruto still thought there wasn't something right and he turned around to climb out of the hot water. “I'm going to have another bowl of ramen,” he said to cover his sudden withdraw. Changing quickly he went back to the dining room only to find none of his traveling companions. Snatching a glass off a table he headed upstairs to the room they had rented.

Reaching the top of the stairs he tried to be sneaky but, the floor creaked under his feet. Remembering a lesson from the Academy he went to the side of the hallway where the floor was less likely to grown. A few doors down from the room he laid on the floor and crawled the last few feet. Carefully placing the glass against the door he put his ear against the bottom of it. The trick wasn't perfect but, he could hear at least part of the conversation.

“Probably but, still if it isn't.”

“I know. I doubt it's him but, it could be that group you were telling me about.”

“They're not dumb. They wouldn't try anything with both of us near him. If you hadn't drugged me, we would've taken down Orochimaru and that sidekick of his and he was one of their stronger members.”

“Would you get over it already, it's not like it the first time I ever did that to you.” She paused for a second and then added, “What should we do.”

Naruto was wishing that he had arrived a few minutes earlier when the door suddenly slid open. Even though he sensed it immediately, he was hesitant to look up to see who had caught him sensing that it would be bad no matter who it was.

“Get in here,” Tsunade said half amused half annoyed. Before he could do anything she grabbed the back of his collar and pulled him in sliding him across the floor and into the center of the room.

“So much for Shizune distracting him,” Jiraiya commented wryly.

“Is somebody going to tell me what is going on,” Naruto demanded trying to hide his embarrassment of being caught.

“Well we really don't have a choice, do we?” The older man didn't sound particularly annoyed as he gestured for the teen to come closer. Naruto did so and he began filling him in, “You know that a ninja can be sent on long term deep cover assignments,” he waited for the blonde to acknowledge the question, “good. Well what they didn't tell you at the Academy is that sometimes when they get into trouble they can leave signs for help.”

“Like what?”

“It can be anything,” Tsunade took over the explanation. “Graffiti on a building, a certain wording on a sign or in this case some cuts on a tree. If you were a Jonin you would be expected to know all of them.”

“So, somebody needs our help,” Naruto questioned.

“It's not that simple,” the white-haired man took over the explanation again. “This particular signal is an old one but, the cuts on the tree were fresh. We passed through this town on our way to collect Tsunade and it is possible that this agent noticed me and thus is use an older sign thinking I might not know the newer ones.”

“Or it could be a trap,” Tsunade interjected.”

“Right, that's what we were discussing when we heard you coming down the hallway. You really do have to work on your stealth.”

The blond ignored the comment, “What are we going to do?”

“We are going to do nothing. Jiraiya and I will meet with the agent or the ambush.”

“But, I can help,” Naruto stood up. “I could create some clones and have them Transform into you two. They could go to the meeting and then report back, or.”

Jiraiya raised his hand to cut him off, “It's not that simple.”

“That's not a bad idea,” Tsunade interrupted her old teammate. “We'll take you along but, you have to do as we say. Now I'm going to enjoy the hot spring until we have to leave.” She turned around and before she stepped out the door she turned around. “You,” she pointed towards the older male, “stay in this room and don't set foot outside,” she pointed towards Naruto, “watch him until I get back or I will make sure that you get nothing but D- rank missions for the rest of your career.”

“What if I have to use the bathroom,” the older man protested.

“There's a plant in the corner,” she called over her shoulder.

Naruto was pretty sure she wouldn't carry out her threat but, just in case he guarded the door like she would. Time pass slowly in the room even though it was partially filled by a lecture by Jiraiya on how to read the sign that had started this detour. When the two women returned the next Hokage was carrying a bottle of sake.

“Kid, come here,” she said pulling out a small saucer like cup and laid it on the table. “This is a tradition before going on a dangerous mission. Before you depart you have a drink from a freshly opened bottle of sake. Then when you get back everybody finishes the bottle off.” She cut his protest off before they could start as she filled the cup, “If you're old enough to go on this mission you're old enough to drink a mouthful. Now come on.”

The blonde looked down at the little cup on the table before taking it in his hand. He had never really been curious about the taste of sake or alcohol in general but, he supposed it couldn't hurt. Not knowing what it would taste like and not wanting to look like a fool if he gagged he opened his mouth and poured it into the back of his mouth.

To Naruto surprised it didn't seem to have a taste and in fact it felt a lot like water. Then his vision blurred, was he drunk? Before the Jinchuuriki realized how impossible that was he fell and was caught by someone. They laid him gently down onto the floor and then Tsunade was leaning over him.

After a minute she said as if from a great distance, “he's fine. He should be out in a minute.” Even though Naruto could hear the words he couldn't make any sense of them. Then blackness encroached on his vision and he thought nothing more as he fell into a deep sleep.
