Bab 67: Chapter 67
Last Time:
As he drifted to sleep, he grabbed them both and pulled them close to him.
Now:
~ With Naruto – Kumo Market ~
Naruto smiled as he looked through the bell peppers and mushrooms on the shelves. 'I hope the girls are still asleep..' He mused as he picked a few of the vegetables and put them in the basket. He had woken up early this morning, a first for him, and had gotten up to make breakfast. Of course, he was bugged by Tony for details and Natalya gave him the third degree because of the noises she heard from his bedroom last night, but he managed to get past them. In the kitchen however, the fridge seemed to be.. More empty than usual. He had considered getting ingredients from the preserved pantry, but most of that stuff had been canned well before the end of the previous world.
While they had been well preserved, nothing beat the taste of fresh food. 'Now, where's the mix?' Naruto mused as he looked around the store. He heard a can being knocked over and turned to see a figure in a black trench coat following him closely. 'Let's see..' He wondered as he headed towards the feminine hygiene products. No one was there except for women, which made it obvious for him to tell if he was being tailed. Five minutes later, he walked out and headed to the meat isle, only to see that same figure there. 'What could he want..' Naruto mused as he got a large sirloin steak.
He quickly picked up a pack of eggs and a gallon of milk, then headed to the checkout counter. While he paid the cashier, he saw the figure standing by the door, waiting for him. He motioned behind the cashier. "I'll take that bottle of Bourbon." Naruto said as he pulled out various bills. "Sorry, but are you over 21?" She asked, standard procedure for the sale of alcohol. Naruto showed her his headband, getting a curt nod in response. She handed him the bottle. "Thank you, come again!" She finished as he left. Naruto walked out of the store and looked around to see if he could find the robed figure.
After a few minutes of searching, he shrugged his shoulders and left. He took the slow way back to his home, often going through public areas and exiting through fire exits. As soon as he got to the outskirts of Kumo, he looked to see the robed figure standing before him. "I was wondering when you were going to show your face. Want a drink?" He asked the figure as he pulled the bottle of Bourbon out. "Why are you so casual about this? I could have been sent here to kill you." The man said in an oddly monotone voice. "I doubt you could. Well, it's twelve o'clock somewhere.." Naruto mused as he took the top off the bottle and took a large swig.
A childish giggle was heard throughout the clearing, making Naruto look at the man in interest. "Tobi likes you! You're my new friend!" The man said in a childish tone. "Oh really? And what does Tobi want with me?" Naruto asked cautiously as he offered the bottle. The figure looked up, revealing an orange spiral mask on his face. "I don't think I should drink that! After all, Tobi is a good boy!" Tobi said, irritating Naruto. "Then tell me pal, what do you want with me?" He asked. "Tobi's been watching you for a while now! You're very amusing, and quite the entertainer!" Tobi admitted, making Naruto's eyes narrow.
"You've been watching me, huh? For how long?" He asked. "Ever since you emerged in wave. Gato was a good friend of mine, but he was much too serious for my tastes! Then you came along! With your fighting style and strange weapons. You're a very intriguing person to know, Naruto-kun. Especially your family at the Chunnin Exams. They were really cool!" Tobi said in a fan boyish voice, making Naruto sweat drop. "Oh really? Well then, how can I help you?" He asked. "No, its how I can help you, Naruto-kun. I like you, I really do." Tobi admitted. "You kinky son of a bitch, I don't swing that way." Naruto replied, making Tobi laugh.
"You really are funny, Naruto-kun. However, I'm here to warn you." Tobi said in a serious tone. Naruto quickly got serious. "There's a storm coming, Naruto-kun. The likes of which this world has never seen before! I'm talking complete and total chaos! However, I do believe you could brave the storm, which is why I'm here." Tobi admitted. "What do you mean?" Naruto asked. "I want you to join me as my right hand man! Think of what we can accomplish! We can rule this world like gods and do as we see fit! Peace can finally reign supreme, a brotherhood of man can be established in place of the brotherhoods of the hidden villages!" Tobi stated with glee in his voice.
"And what makes you think I'll agree?" Naruto demanded. "What I am offering you here is nothing to be trifled with, Naruto-kun. You could reign supreme with me! Your family would be safe, you could make it so no one has to die!" Tobi said. Naruto unsealed his gun from his tattoo and pointed it at Tobi's head. "If you've seen me, then you know what I'm capable of. What's to stop me from killing you right now and ending all of your idiotic plans?" Naruto demanded. He looked at Tobi with a serious face, until Tobi started.. laughing? "Why are you laughing?" Naruto demanded.
"You may be good, but you're nowhere near my level!" Tobi said in a serious tone, making Naruto growl. He pulled the trigger, shooting the entire round of lead through Tobi's head. However, the bullets only phased through him. 'What the hell?!' Naruto demanded as he looked at Tobi. "Like I said, your little toys don't work on me, Naruto-kun." Tobi replied in a teasing tone. "Honestly, with your current abilities, you're a Chunnin compared to me." He said. He then tossed a small piece of paper to Naruto with an odd seal drawn on it. "If you change your mind, just channel a bit of chakra into that." Tobi said as he walked forward.
A large black vortex appeared before Tobi and he stepped into it. "Bye, Naruto-chan!" Tobi yelled back as he waved like an idiot. Naruto growled and threw the bottle into a tree, shattering it. After having taken a minute to calm, he picked up his bags and looked at the piece of paper. He balled it up and tossed it to the floor.
~ In The Bunker ~
Samui and Yugito were both fast asleep, still recovering from their activities of the previous night. 'Hmm.. yes, there, Naruto-kun." Samui muttered. The smell of fresh food drifted into the room, waking Yugito up. Her nose picked up the delicious scent, slowly waking her from her deep sleep. She got up and looked to see herself and Samui cuddling into a pillow. "Naruto-kun?" She asked in a lazy tone, waking up Samui. "Yes, deeper.." Samui said as she slowly got up and looked around. "Ne, where's Naruto?" she asked in a drowsy tone. "I don't know. Do you smell that?" Yugito asked as she sniffed around.
"It smells like..bacon.." Samui said as she got out of the bed. She quickly slipped back under the covers, making Yugito raise an eyebrow. "What's wrong?" She asked. "Th.. There's a draft.." Samui said as she covered herself, a cute blush adorning her face. Samui looked around and saw her angel costume on the floor. She got up and ran, trying to find her thong. "Damn it, where is it?" She demanded as she looked around. "Is that it?" Samui asked as she pointed to the fan on the ceiling. Yugito sweat dropped. "How the hell did that get up there?" She wondered as she got on the bed and slipped her thong on.
She headed to a nearby dresser and pulled out two oversized shirts. She quickly took off her corsage and slipped into one, then picked up Samui's white panties and tossed them to her along with the shirt. After Samui had changed, the two walked to the kitchen. After a bit of a problem with the doors, they got to the dining area to see Naruto wearing an apron and setting up the table. His apron read "Kiss the Chef", making both of the girls smile. "Good morning." Samui called out as she took a seat. "Hey there handsome. Sleep well?" Yugito asked with a wink and kissed his cheek. Naruto smiled as he saw them both take a seat.
He had been pondering the mad man's words. Was it true? Was he really nothing but an ant before a giant? 'There's always a possibility he was bluffing..' He mused, but he knew he couldn't risk that. 'I'm going to have to discuss this with the rest of the team soon..' Naruto mused, but was cut short as the girls called him. "Are you ok, Naruto-kun?" Yugito asked. He smiled and nodded. "Yea, let's eat. There's plenty of food." Naruto said as he pointed to the omelettes and pancakes. 'Should I tell them about this?' He wondered as he listened to Samui tell a joke about a nin form Kusa, one from ame, and one from Kumo.
Everything seems so perfect right now. If he could, he would live in this moment forever. 'Let's let things come as they will. We'll discuss this later." Naruto realized as he laughed at Samui's punch line. After breakfast, Natalya popped into the screen of the Kitchen. "We need to talk." She said in a no-argument tone, then popped off the screen. "What hell hath we wrought?" Naruto asked, genuinely scared of the woman. Samui and Yugito nodded and after cleaning the dirty dishes, they all assembled in the living room.
~ Meeting with the Avengers ~
Naruto, Samui, and Yugito sat awkwardly before the Avengers. "About what you three did last night.." Cap began in an awkward tone. "Yes?" Yugito asked in a slightly ashamed tone. "We want details!" Tony said as he picked up a virtual note pad. "I'm so proud of you, my boy! Your first time and it was a threesome!" Tony stated in a proud tone, wiping a tear away from his eye. Naruto sweat dropped at his attitude until his screen was cut off. "In all seriousness, we want you to know that what you did isn't wrong.." Natalya began. "Sex can be a wonderful thing if it's with someone you truly love.." She began. And thus, one of the team's most awkward conversations ever began.
~ After the Talk ~
Naruto sat in an uncomfortable silence. Sure, Tony had given him the rudimentary basics of a woman, the talk, and a few books to get him ready, but getting the talk from your mother was something entirely different. He slowly turned to see the embarrassed looks of Samui and Yugito. "And that's the beauty of sex." Natalya finished, ending the conversation. "Any questions?" She asked, only to get quick "No's" from everyone present. Cap was about to dismiss everyone until Naruto stepped up. "Guys, I have something I need to discuss with you all." Naruto said as he got up.
Yugito and Samui's interests were quickly piped at this. "What's wrong, Naruto-kun?" Yugito asked. Naruto sighed. "It began this morning when I left to go get some ingredients.." Naruto began. He told them of his encounter with the strange man. He told them of the storm that was coming and the offer he had made. He finished with how his bullets seemed to phase right through the man. "He said compared to him, I was a Chunnin. If the bullets are any indication.." Naruto began, but trailed off. "Then there's a good chance that no physical attacks will work." Samui ended.
"Exactly. Which is why I need more training. I need fresh ideas and ways in which I can take this man down. If he's smart enough to do what he claims, we may be in more trouble than I think." Naruto finished, then turned to Tony and Cap. "Tony, you studied and analyzed chakra, theories, and uses when you were teaching me. Between you and me, I'm sure we can think of something." Naruto said, then turned to Cap. "I'll also have to step up my physical training. If I can get stronger and keep every aspect balanced, I can increase my chakra reserves." Naruto continued.
"Natalya and Hawkeye can help me with my weapons, accuracy, and fighting." Naruto finished. Cap looked at him with a worried look. "Naruto, I like your plan and the fact that you're thinking ahead. But unfortunately, you would have to dedicate extreme amounts of time to do that kind of training." Cap stated. "Time you don't have because of missions." Tony finished. "He could ask for a leave of absence from the Corps." Samui chipped in. "I doubt A would go for it. I mean, the way he is right now, he's Kumo's golden boy. The only one to surpass him is Bee." Yugito said, deflating Samui's mood.
"For now, we'll just worry about that bridge when we get to it. If we can't get out of the Raikage's corps, we'll find some way to get out of it." Naruto finished as he got up. "Wait, what about now?" Tony asked. "Are you kidding me? I've got a week and a half off. I'm going to enjoy it with my two girls." Naruto finished as he left with Samui and Yugito.
A/N: Alright, we're getting back to the main storyline. Lol, like none of you are hoping you never hear Natalya's words coming out of your mother's mouth. Now, all that's left is a few more chapters and the time skip. I'm so looking forward to that!
