Kapitel 52: Chapter 52
Last Time:
"You're an idiot.." Samui began. "..But you're our idiot." Yugito finished, making Naruto smile.
Now:
~ Naruto's Warehouse – Morning ~
Samui groaned as she felt the sensation of light hitting his eyes. She slowly stirred and looked up to see Naruto at the dinner table, scribbling and scrawling furiously over a notebook. "Naruto-kun?" Samui whispered as she saw his face for the first time since they arrived in Konoha, a smile spread on his face. He looked to her and flashed her said smile, making her stomach fill with a warmth feeling. "Hey Samui-chan. Did I wake you?" Naruto asked in a soft voice. "Kind of. What time is it?" She asked as she looked for a clock.
"It's 5:30 in the morning." Naruto replied. "You should get some sleep; you have a long day of training ahead of you tomorrow." Naruto said to the girl, making her shake her head. She slowly got up and walked towards him. "What are you working on?" She asked as she tried to get a peek at his Journal. She managed to see various seals and a large, crude circular drawing, but nothing else since Naruto quickly shut the book. "Nothing much, just something that might help during the invasion." Naruto replied and put the journal away.
Samui gained a mischievous glint in her eyes and raised her shoulders, putting an emphasis on her breasts. She then puckered her lower lip and put her forefinger to it. "Naruto-kun.. You wouldn't keep anything from me, would you?" She asked, making Naruto turn to look at her. 'Damn it..Not the dreaded jutsu!' Naruto internally yelled as Samui's eyes seemed to grow bigger and brighter. 'The dreaded puppy eyed jutsu!' Naruto groaned and seemingly folded. "Ne…how about a back rub?" Naruto asked, quickly changing the subject. "A back rub?" Samui asked, genuinely surprised by the offer.
"Sure. You seem to carry a lot of tension on your back, and as an active kunoichi with such large.." Naruto began, but was cut off since he didn't have a proper word "Assets?" Samui asked helping him. "Sure, let's call them that." Naruto muttered, then continued. "Back strain is bad enough. So how about it?" Naruto asked. ".. Fine, but don't think you're keeping that journal from me for long." Samui relented, taking her shirt off, lying down, and unclasping her bra. 'What the hell did I get myself into?' Naruto asked himself as he went to get a bottle of baby oil. He slowly poured a small amount onto his hands and approached her.
'Let's see what you've got, Naruto-kun.' Samui thought as his hands made contact. He made slow circles on her shoulders, and then began kneading the outer layer of skin. Samui let out a small moan at his touch, signaling him he was doing a good job. He then moved to her lower back and massaged her slowly with his large hands, making her blush. 'Damn.. He's good.' Samui admitted as she melted under his hands. Naruto tried to move lower, but was cut off by Samui's hand smacking his. "You want to get to second base, you're going to have to work for it." She said in a teasing tone.
Naruto smiled and continued massaging her back, completely concentrating on Samui for once.
~ After the Back Rub ~
Naruto grinned as he looked at his notebook. If he was going to be able to pull this off, he was going to need metal, lots of it. He went to a wall and began tapping it ever so slightly, trying to find the sound of metal resounding. "What are you doing, Naruto-kun?" Yugito asked from the dining room. "I need metal, and a lot of it." Naruto said as he got a crowbar and attached it to the wall, pulling apart until a large sheet of metal was revealed behind the wall of bricks "For what?" Yugito asked, her inquisitive nature getting the best of her.
"There's a small project I'm working on, so I'm going to need a lot of metal and a makeshift smithy to get started." Naruto stated after he set the sheet of metal down and went back to searching for more. "Metal working?" Yugito asked, generally surprised. "I'm a jack of all trades." Naruto replied off handedly. "Alright, what do you need for the smithy?" Yugito asked, ready to help. "Its going to be an outside smithy, so a lot of bricks. Luckily, the outside of the warehouse is littered with scrap everything. I should be able to find what I need there." Naruto replied.
"All right then, how can I help?" Yugito asked. "If you want, you can break down some old cement so it can be reused as a fresh batch." Naruto said to her. She nodded and left while he continued searching for the metal he needed.
~ Five Hours Later ~
Naruto grimaced as he put on his Vee helmet. It had been fun working without the helmet, but all good things must come to an end. He quickly made three shadow clones and instructed them to carry the large pile of metal sheets he found outside. When he stepped out with his tools, he was surprised to see a large stack of bricks piled against the warehouse and Yugito and Samui tossing large chunks of old cement at each other to destroy. "Where are Karui and Omoi?" Naruto asked out loud, getting their attention. "They're confined to their beds for the next few days. They don't have your healing factor." Yugito replied as she surveyed a large chunk of cement flying at her.
She quickly channeled a small amount of chakra to her hand, making a large flame appear. With a strong throw, the flame left her hand and impacted against the cement, reducing it to semi melted dust. "Oops.." Yugito said and scratched the back of her head. "That's fine, girls. I've got to get started with this." Naruto said as the clones went to retrieve the materials to start on the smithy. "How can we help?" Samui asked behind Naruto. "That's fine, I don't need anything." Naruto replied. "How can we help?!" Yugito asked a bit more forcefully. Naruto sweat dropped at her attitude. Sometimes, he wondered whose side she was on.
"How about you, Samui, help my clones lay the cement while Yugito gives them a once over after they've been set with some fire chakra?" Naruto asked nervously. "Alright, let's get to it." Yugito said with a cheery smile, making Naruto sweat drop. 'A woman's emotions are as the sea. They change as the tide changes, and can be cruel or kind to any man.' Naruto remembered from Tony's teachings. By late afternoon, the smithy was set up and solidified, thanks to the help of Yugito and Samui. "Alright girls, it's done. Let's head inside." Naruto said as he surveyed their work. Samui and Yugito quickly headed inside with Naruto following.
~ Inside ~
Naruto sighed as he took a seat with a bottle of water in front of him. Samui and Yugito were seated in front of him with water bottles in front of them as well. "What's the plan?" Samui asked Naruto. "You need to help get Karui and Omoi up to speed. Karui's got the strength, but she lacks strategy. Omoi has strategy, but lacks the strength." Naruto said, making Samui and Yugito look at each other. "Where do we come in on that plan?" they asked, making Naruto sweat drop. "Oh, you're kidding me. Samui's the brains and Yugito's the brawn." Naruto pointed out to them. "But you're better at both." They both replied in unison, making him sweat drop.
"I am neither. I'm just the pretty face." Naruto said, making them all laugh. "And what will you be doing?" Yugito asked. "Working with all of the metal I got from the walls. I'll be fine, don't worry." Naruto said as he got up and headed to the kitchen. "Naruto-kun.." Samui began, getting his attention. "Yes, Samui-chan?" Naruto asked. "Were you.. Were you really planning on killing the Inuzuka if the Yondaime didn't comply?" She asked in a silent voice, like she was afraid of him. Naruto frowned and walked to his pouch. He took the scroll with the explosive tag still attached to it and tossed it to Samui.
"Notice anything off about it?" Naruto asked, making Samui look closer at it. "No, why?" She asked. He quickly pulled out another scroll that looked identical, except this one had no explosive tag attached to it. He unraveled it to reveal the seal holding the Inuzuka matriarch. "Wait.. So it was a bluff?" Samui asked in a shocked tone. "Exactly. I wouldn't endanger anyone's life, even if it meant my own. You girls know that." Naruto replied, making them both blush in embarrassment. "Sorry for assuming the worst, Naruto-kun." Samui said with her head bowed.
"It's fine. In times of panic, our sense of logic is thrown out of the window, especially when focused on an object. They all become what we want them to be." Naruto said as he picked up the blank scroll. "Wait, what if he had seen through the bluff?" Yugito asked. "Well, we would have had to haul ass." Naruto replied with a smile. Yugito smiled and looked at him. Even in the worst situation, he managed to diffuse it and make her feel like she could trust him completely. "Now, about dinner.." Naruto began.
~ Time skip – 29 Days ~
Naruto smiled as he looked at the seals on his project. They had all dried overnight and now came the last part. 'Making it an original, despite the fact it's a copy...' Naruto thought as he grabbed various paint buckets with red, white, and blue. Over the last month, things had been going great. He had managed to scrape together enough scrap metal to make a fully functional replica of his bow and his pet project. Karui and Omoi had been training with their senseis. Well, Omoi was training. Karui was just pissed at the finer points of strategy. Overall, their team had come along quite nicely these last few weeks.
The Yondaime had sent the reparation money and wind jutsu to Kumo, with the exception of the chidori and the Raikiri. 'Well, still got more than I expected.' Naruto mused as he made a circular blue line. "Naruto-kun, are you coming to bed soon?" A voice behind him asked. He turned to see Samui in a pair of sweatpants and a loose t-shirt waiting for him on his floor bed. "Soon." Naruto said as he made a smaller circular line with the red paint. Samui had gotten a firmer grasp on her chakra control and her affinities, but other than that her time was spent experimenting with certain moves and her sword.
Yugito had made tremendous progress at getting her reserves in control, and began experimenting with the extremely high affinity she had to fire. "Are you coming now?" Yugito asked as she hopped in the bedspread. "I'm coming." Naruto said as he put a highly resistant finisher on his project. As he got up and turned off the lights, the only part of his project that remained visible was a white star in the middle. Naruto got into his bed and hugged his girls close to him. Tomorrow war was going to break out, and he wanted to make sure none of his team got hurt, especially them.
