Chapter 97: Chapter 97
KURENAI
Running at top speed from rooftop to rooftop, Kurenai had no concrete idea what to expect when she was suddenly summoned to the Hokage's office. They sprinted so fast, Kurenai's certain she broke her personal record, reaching Hokage tower in a minute, fourteen seconds.
Though winded, she didn't let it show, employing the shinobi taught Continuous Circular Breathing technique to constantly supply her brain and lungs with oxygen. Seconds later, Kurenai drops into Hokage-sama's secure black room for sensitive material with not only Kakashi, but Naruto.
'He's back,' she thinks amused, happy to see that despite some blood on his torn jumpsuit, he seems uninjured. To her surprise, a warm thrill flutters from her heating center.
Given the amount of amazing sex they had before the blond's departure, Kurenai expected to have a hard time coping without, but after every passing week, she felt further satisfied somehow.
While every night her morally-unrestrained subconscious dreamed of their next night together, her physical desire was manageable, especially after accelerating her own team's training.
Now in the Hokage's secured office, one look at Naruto, and despite the darkness of the room, she can see his pupil dilate as they grow hungry for her. Oddly enough, her body is roused awake, transitioning her toned-tense muscles to grow soft as a cushion for his pounding pleasure.
Before they can be found out by two of the sharpest shinobi's in all of Konoha, Kurenai steps forward at attention, "Hokage-sama."
Taking a seat, Hiruzen proceeds to inform her, "I've been told a number of things concerning your relationship with Naruto-kun. You've been summoned to explain yourself as well as hear my inclination on this affair."
'He found out,' is Kurenai's first gut-wrenching thoughtless response, but as her brain frantically dissects everything, she realizes his tone seems off; not of a man who found out a Jnin-sensei with a previous romantic entanglement with his son is currently sleeping with a fresh out of the Academy genin regularly.
Fortunately, Naruto both assists and completely stuns her with utter surprise as he sternly maintains, "Ji-chan, you said she wasn't in trouble. You're making it sound like a court-marshal."
"Naruto-kun this is important," the Hokage huffs, as Kurenai wonders why Naruto isn't being yelled at for calling the leader and most respected shinobi in their village 'Ji-chan, like it's the most natural thing in the world! Not even Asuma calls him anything near so personal a name,' she realizes.
Nearly instantly, she then recalls Naruto mentioning a Ji-chan often and finds that shocking revelation impossible to keep from her perfectly symmetric face.
Whipping her head from her leader to the blond genin and back, her singular thought shockingly yells, 'How the hell is the God of Shinobi his Ji-chan!?' The only way her mind alleviates her anxiety is when she registers this isn't about their sexual encounters.
The Hokage's stern voice continues. "Kurenai-kun, in the past few minutes, Naruto has told us-" "Only because I don't want to lie to you," Naruto interjects in a low voice. The Sandaime sighs before continuing, "he's shown you the technique known as Rasengan, correct?"
"Hai, Hokage-sama," Kurenai promptly answers. "A little over a week before he left for his mission."
"And do you also know how he came to learn this technique," her leader demands to know, and in his presence, her urge to satisfy his curiosity is so strong she's certain she would answer any question he may have, even, to her dread, her sexual relation with the blond.
"Hai, Hokage-sama," Kurenai responds. "As he did not want me to violate your edict, he refused to elaborate, however, I understood what he was attempting to explain."
"Is there anything else you can tell us," her Hokage asks of her, and despite her earlier assertion she would be truthful in all things, Kurenai answers, "simply that he trains diligently."
"Hmm," her Hokage accepts and Kurenai is slightly relieved. "For the moment, this will remain an S-Class secret. Is that understood?"
"Hai, Hokage-sama," Kurenai responds.
"Did you explain to Naruto-kun the hierarchy by which genin disclose their techniques," the strong elder asks of her. "As well as the common practices of a Konoha team dynamic."
"Now wait a minute-" Naruto starts to cut in when Kurenai quickly answers, "Hai, Hokage-sama."
"And he still showed you," Hiruzen thoughtfully says, more to himself than anyone.
"Hai, Hokage-sama," Kurenai still answers.
The Third takes a long drag of his pipe, momentarily in deep consideration when the elder finally expresses, "thank you Kurenai-sensei," taking her by surprise even if she didn't show it. "I've always known how dedicated you were to the future generations of this village, but never more so than now.
I feel proud and fortunate to have you within our ranks." Dazzled, Kurenai wanted to cry as her devotion to her home has never felt so venerated.
Hiruzen turns to Kakashi and asserts, "Kakashi-kun, from this moment forward I expect better."
"Hai, Hokage-sama," Kakashi returns nearly like an apology.
"Naruto-kun, your training will be strictly monitored from here on out," Hiruzen tells the blond.
"What does that mean?" he asks truly curious.
"It means I need to oversee your training," Kakashi answers.
"Why? I've been doing pretty awesome on my own," Naruto points out.
"You are a special case," The Hokage admits.
"Because of the fox?"
"Among other things, yes," Hiruzen admits.
"What other things," Naruto irately asks.
"Things like you're an important shinobi to this village," the older man says compassionately, adding, "And I have to protect the future Hokage after all."
Trying to keep the grin from his face and failing, Naruto grumbles, "fine. What's going to happen to Haku? He's a really good person who had a lot of bad crap happen to him."
"I do not object to a neighborly association or even a social one," the Third evenly states. "He may utilize any of the vacant rooms on your floor, however, he will be on probation for a number of years, the strict guidelines of which will be explained to him.
He's not the first asylum-seeker this village has ever seen and if it is truly his wish to stay, he will abide by our rules until we are satisfied.
As such he will not be able to leave this village for quite some time, which means, for the moment, he cannot be a field-shinobi, if he's ever a shinobi."
"Can we train together?" Naruto quickly asks. "He's wicked strong."
