To Be Hokage - Chapter 20 : That was a show ? For whom ?
The night was still young. It must have been a few hours for Kushina and the company. They continued jumping through the trees. They were going at a considerate speed. The borders of Fire country were just a couple hours away.
Kushina was seemingly in her thoughts when she stopped. The cause for this was one of her ANBUs in the scouting party stood before their way. While Kushina's mission was sudden, it didn't mean she wasn't provided with scouting measures. Apart from a team of ANBU travelling with her, there was an ANBU team travelling ahead of them by an hour, acting as scouts. And she was sure another team of ANBU was trailing behind her team. It wasn't as if they doubted her ability, but this was a shinobi world, and Kushina was their next leader, so Konoha was bound to provide her with foolproof security.
She immediately noticed Anbu's mask and questioned, "Goat, What has happened ?"
The ANBU was a male who bowed to her. "Kushina-sama, sorry for interrupting your journey. But we have encountered a situation." The Anbu answered. As Kushina motioned him to continue, he again opened his mouth "20 minutes ago, our team encountered A genin team of Konoha alongside their sensei surrounded by a group of Bandits. "
"Bandits? Here in our territory ?" Kushina asked
"Yes, Normally we wouldn't have interfered as normal bandits don't pose any threat to genin with their jounin in command. But we immediately recognised insignia they were carrying "
'Bandits carrying insignia, that's new', Kushina thought.
"They are known as Nakamura-kai, its a group of ronins and its mainly based in Kaminari no kuni (lightning country) and mizu ni kuni (water country). And they had Myoga-san, the Jounin of genin team almost cornered. Our team successfully subjugated the enemy and have even caught a couple of members alive. I was sent here to inform you. "
As Kushina took on the information provided, this was even new to her. "Are the genins ok ?" She asked.
"Hai, they are", The Goat masked ANBU replied.
"Good, good I would Like to take a look at the bandits." She replied. The Goat masked ANBU just nodded and started leading them in the direction of his team. Kushina nodded to neko, who nodded and started following her. At the same time, one of the ANBU from the team stopped here, waiting for the group of ANBUs behind them.
Soon they reached a clearing. A small tent was set up at one end, and there was even a small campfire. Around which three genins, Two boys and a girl aged somewhere 14-15, were sitting. She noticed they were quite roughed up. It seemed her ANBUs were really playing down the situation.
She decided to meet the genins first, signalling her team to stand by as she made her way to the genins. The genins and their jounin immediately noticed her and bowed to her, "Kushina-sama."
"At ease, I hope you all are alright?" seeing them nod, she smiled " You lot are not supposed to fight enemies like this at this stage. I will see to it how they infiltrate our territory. Will you tell me how you got in a fight with them?"
At this jounin teacher spoke, "We had no intention of engaging them with Kushina-sama, Nozoki here" he pointed at the boy who looked up " he was the first one who saw them when he was relieving himself. When I came to know, I spied on them and seeing their number and insignia I had decided to leave as soon as we could and inform the village. But a couple of their scouts saw our camp and soon we were surrounded. If not for ANBUs intervening, I don't think we would have survived."
Kushina nodded solemnly. "I see, well you are free to rest here for night, ANBUs have already sent an eagle to the village. I will see a couple of ANBUs from my team stay with you just as a precaution."
"Thank you Kushina-sama" The team bowed as Kushina approached the ANBU group who had kept prisoners.
"She is so kind", the girl in the group opened her mouth.
"And so sexy ", Nozuki added.
"Shut up you baka", the girl replied.
"You are jealous that you don't have her body", the other boy quipped as he dodged the swing from the girl. While the jounin leader just chuckled.
--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------
It was after two hours, Kushina and her team started their journey again towards Hotsprings country. It was decided the forward ANBU team and trailing ANBU team would remain there until a Konoha team came and collected the prisoners. The ANBU teams tried to stop her, but she didn't listen and put her foot down.
Kushina had got basic information from initial questioning from prisoners. Apparently, they were just a scouting party. Their main gang was still in Kaminari no Kuni. The group had planned to flee from Kaminari no Kuni and lay low in Hi no Kuni (Fire country) for a while. Apparently, Raikage had unleashed eight tails Jinchūriki 'Killer B' to eradicate them. And the group was looking for a place to hide.
'I will not get time to rest before meeting', Kushina thought, putting thoughts of ronin bandits out of her mind. They still had quite a distance to travel.
"Team increase speed", Kushina shouted as she released the chakra.
"Hai '' all that she heard from her companions and guards.
--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------
Kushina and her team arrived in the Hot Springs country's capital after a long and exhausting journey. The sun had already risen on the horizon. They reached the headquarters of Konoha forces in Hot Springs country.
"Kushina-sama", The Jounin leader of the corps stationed here bowed to her. Kushina immediately recognized him as Shitoryu Mabumi, an A-class shinobi. He was a tall man with an imposing figure and a stern expression.
She nodded at him and spoke, "Shitoryu-san, it's good to see you again."
"Kushina-sama, I hope your journey was not too difficult" as she nodded, he continued ", I have already sent a notification to Daimyo-sama's office about your arrival. The meeting should start in 3 hrs time."
"Good, Good I hope they aren't too surprised", a slight smirk formed on her face. Being a prankster at heart, she always liked these scenarios where the other person was caught by surprise.
The man just nodded and opened his mouth again. "I understand. You must be exhausted. Let me escort you to your quarters, and you can rest for a bit before we attend the meeting with the Daimyo."
Kushina nodded and replied, " that will be good, I will love to meet with shinobis, who are placed here later, maybe tomorrow once I have dealt with the situation here."
"Hai Kushina-sama, they all will be delighted to meet their next leader." The man answered.
Since Kushina had come here unannounced, she would be using one of the shinobi barracks used by Konoha forces stationed here. Throughout the way, she saw various shinobis and kunoichis immediately recognizing her and bowing to her.
Shitoryu led Kushina to a big and comfortable room in the Shinobi quarters, where she could rest and freshen up before the meeting. The room had all basic amenities, nothing fancy, and an attached washroom. It wasn't quite as grand as the room provided by Daimyo on the last visit. Though Kushina could figure out that it was definitely better than the rooms provided to the ordinary shinobis.
"Thank you Shitoryu-san, I will meet you in an hour and we will discuss today's agenda for the meeting." She turned and said to the Jounin leader.
"I will be waiting for you then Kushina-sama" The man bowed and turned towards his office again.
As the doors closed behind her, Kushina stretched her arms above her head. She was feeling slightly drowsy; having not recently gone on many long night missions, as such, she was feeling the effects. She looked out of the window, and the weather seemed quite pleasant today. Sighing, she pulled the curtains and unsealed her belongings.
She thought of opening Mikoto's package for a moment but quickly put that thought behind her. Then she looked at the outfits she had bought. Her other pair of shinobi clothes, A black version of her office outfit and a navy blue outfit combo. She pursued her wardrobe, considering what to wear for the meeting with the Hotsprings Daimyo. She settled on a navy blue one that seemed simple yet elegant.
Having just arrived from a long journey Kushina was tired and in need of refreshment. She decided to take a quick shower before the critical meeting with Ryuki-san. In the privacy of her quarters, she started to undress. She knew her clothes and body were reeked of sweat and grime and needed a good shower.
She started with her flak jacket, unzipping and sliding it off her shoulders. Once the flack jacket was thrown on the bed, she quickly removed her utility belt alongside the shuriken pouch and kunai holster. Next, she reached for the tight black pants she wore underneath, peeling them off to reveal her toned legs. They were a bit sticky due to sweat, and she felt cold air touch her damp legs. She closed her eyes at the pleasant feeling. She then pulled off her standard Konoha-issue blue t-shirt. Finally standing in the room in her just bindings and panties. She reached for the bindings on her breasts, unwrapping them one by one until they fell to the ground. Her generous bust now sprung open 'This feels so much better,' she thought.
Having undressed enough, she stepped into the washroom, not before picking up her towel and toiletries. The shower room was quite spacious. She was surprised that the room was modern, with sleek tiles and a large showerhead in the centre. There was a bench where she could sit and a small shelf where she could place her toiletries. She quickly discarded her panties and put her stuff on the bench. After the morning routine, she turned on the water, letting it warm up before stepping under the stream.
Kushina closed her eyes and let out a contented sigh as the water cascaded over her body, washing away the dirt and sweat from her long journey. She reached for the shampoo and lathered up her hair, working her fingers through the strands to remove any tangles. She repeated the process with the conditioner, leaving it in for a few minutes before rinsing it.
Next, she grabbed the body wash and lathered it on a loofah, scrubbing her skin until it was soft and smooth. She took her time, enjoying the sensation of the warm water and the scent of the soap. She felt the water to soothe her muscles and clear her mind. After she was done, she stepped out of the shower, feeling clean and refreshed, and proceeded to go for her towel. Wrapping herself in a fluffy white towel, and took a seat on the bench. She grabbed her hairdryer and began to dry her hair, running her fingers through the strands as she went.
.
'That felt so heavenly', she thought as she came out of the washroom with a towel wrapped around her body. She turned to the mirror provided in the room and looked at her reflection. Her hair was still wet from the shower, and her skin was free from any dust and grime. She smiled. "I look good."
Turning on what underwear to wear, she could hear Mikoto's cackling voice in her head to wear something flashy. She squashed that voice and selected a set of white bra and panties.
Satisfied with her choice, she quickly put on her dress and again looked at her reflection and smirked. "Well, let this get done", she spoke confidently.
She looked simple yet elegant in this dress, which hugged her curves in all the right places. Her hair was tied in a neat ponytail, and her feet were covered in matching high heels. It gave her a professional yet approachable look.
Coming outside her quarters, she acknowledged Cat, standing at her doors. "You and your team can rest neko. I will be going to the meeting now", she said.
Neco nodded. "Thank you, Kushina-sama."
Making her way to the headquarters here. By now, there was a lot of bustling now as compared to earlier. The doors of the office of the Jounin leader were immediately opened for her. Throughout the way, she was intrigued by stares from her shinobis and even civilians from the capital, which made her feel good.
"Kushina-sama", Shitoryu again bowed to her, not before staring at her.
"Let's discuss points for the meeting," Kushina spoke with a smile which almost turned into a smirk.
--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------
Kushina, alongside Shitoryu with four shinobis, started their way towards Daimyo's office. They would have normally jumped over roofs, but since Kushina was officially visiting as a diplomat, they decided to walk, taking the scenic route through the capital of hot springs village.
Kushina, having not seen the capital except on the move from far away on the last visit, couldn't help but feel intrigued by various shops. The same could be said about the people who were staring at the beautiful redhead followed by Konoha shinobis towards Daimyo's palace.
"Wow, who's that ? " One voice muttered.
"Is she a noble from another country? Though, why are shinobis following her ?" another voice spoke
"Is she one of Ryuki-sama's new girl" another spoke
Kushina almost wanted to jump and speak her mind at the last words.
She didn't hear the hushed tones that a couple of people spoke in one of the shops. "She is Konoha's next leader, they say daimyo-sama has blindly fallen for her." the first man said.
"Where did you hear that ?" the other man asked.
"Shh, don't raise your voice. I heard it last when I delivered some supplies in the palace. I even heard Daimyo-sama took her out on one and one dinner too on her last visit," the first man continued.
"Really? well who can blame Ryuki-sama,. I mean just look at her. I am sure he tapped her. " The second man replied with a lecherous grin.
"Don't be sure of that, one of my contacts in the palace who is one of the attendants of the palace told me daimyo sama returned alone after dinner with her and was in a bad mood that night." The first man informed me.
"Oh that's spicy. Ryuki-sama doesn't like to be denied, whether it be any materialistic thing or girls. She must be strong willed then to escape Ryuki-sama. " the second said in a surprised voice.
"Well she is to be the next leader of Konoha, one of the big five so she is bound to be headstrong. I hear her husband is also one of the leaders of Konoha and has quite a name for himself in the shinobi world. And guess what she has a kid around ten years old," The first man spoke.
"No way! She has a child that is ten years old? You gotta be a joking man" The second man gasped and looked at Kushina's group, now quite away from their position.
"Haha, that was my reaction as well, These kunoichis are really something." The first man grinned.
"Damn Man, She ticks all boxes for every man especially Ryuki-sama. She is hot, headstrong, married and almost impossible to obtain. Even more so she has a kid so she's a Milf. Man now I think these rumours about Daimyo -sama being infatuated with her are definitely true." The second man said.
"Well, since she'll be here for the next few days. We'll be hearing some spicy news sooner or later. And get to know if this is True or just a rumour." The first man grinned.
"Haha, keep me informed, I bet this time Ryuki-sama beds her. " the second man spoke.
--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------
Reaching the palace compound, the guards quickly allowed them in. And this time, Kushina felt she had entered a different place. The area outside and inside of the daimyo's residence was quite different, don't get her wrong, it wasn't that outside the compound was unclean or poor. It was way better than Konoha's streets on an average day, but coming inside the compound now, she could easily compare the two areas. 'How much money do these nobles spend on their compound and its maintenance' she thought.
Her thoughts were stopped as Ryuki-san, The Daimyo of this country, was standing outside his office building waiting for her group. He was surrounded by a group of men who must be his 'nobles and ministers'. She thought she had been introduced to many of them on her last visit, but she didn't bother remembering their names. She also noticed the large dark-skinned man standing beside the daimyo, who was also introduced to her last time as the head of security for the daimyo. However, she didn't remember his name either. 'I will have to try to focus and remember names as well, it's good that I don't have to meet each one of them. ' she thought.
--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------
Ryuki Ichinose, the Daimyo of this village, was surprised. No, that word didn't do justice. He was flabbergasted. They had wanted a reaction from Konoha, but they hadn't expected such a swift response either. This had almost caught him without pants. But things were not as bad as they seemed. While they wanted Konoha to react. But it responded much more quickly than anticipated. His primary purpose for causing a ruckus was to have another meeting with Konoha, and if it turned out to be him meeting that beautiful redhead, then it was a plus. So when he received the news about Kushina's visit this morning, he was caught by surprise.
On the one hand, he, along with his friend and head of security Yumeki Satoru had secretly sent a message to Kumogakure for a proposal for a new trade deal. The whole idea of involving Kumogakure was Yumeki's idea. It was Yumeki who had secretly sent messages to all of his nobles and subtly instigated them. Yumeki didn't like Konoha very much. He had a special place for Kushina in his heart, or 'redhead cocky bitch' Yumeki called her in their private meetings. While he had no love for any great village, the way Konoha had all but forced him to sign an agreement with them was humiliating for Ryuki. Add to the salt the redhead bitch had acted high and mighty in her last visit. So he had agreed to Yumeki's plan, and it seemed it had turned out positive despite being fast and not giving them time for more 'preparations.'
And given her coming unannounced as if Konoha or she owned them was enough to evaporate any regret he was supposed to have for causing this ruckus. Seeing her walking confidently with long strides, he couldn't help but admire her. As she came closer, he noticed she had slight modifications to her outfit from the last time around. She still wore those fancy lady outfits that were growing popular among women these days. But he immediately noticed the lack of pantyhose that she used to wear in the last meeting. He couldn't help but grin internally.
"Kushina-san, what a surprise to see you here. You should have sent a message. I would have opened the doors of my home for you. You are still welcome to stay here in one of my guest quarters " Ryuki spoke as Kushina's group neared them.
"Thank you Ryuki-dono, But the situation surprised me as well. I am here as an acting ambassador for Konoha.I was sent here due to an urgent situation regarding the deal our country agreed on. We had heard there were some tensions brewing here. We want to find a way to work together and put an end to the conflict,.We don't want our closest ally to be discontented afterall. " Kushina replied coolly.
"Well, I thank you for your presence then. Truth be told, my nobles and ministers are not that happy about the latest agreement between our villages. They are paranoid you see, one of the five great nations, forcing a small nation like us to choose their sides. They are also discontented that the deal was signed without involving them. This doesn't paint a good picture. Hope you understand. Regardless, I believe we can find a solution that can quell their paranoia and benefit both our villages." Ryuki spoke, not really trying to hide the predicament.
"I hope so. Konoha values its relationship with Hotsprings, and we want to see it grow stronger." Kushina added.
"Well, let's go Inside, Kushina-san, " Daimyo beckoned her.
She obliged, walking beside him. The building was the same one where they had signed the agreement last time. He took her to the first floor, where the meeting room was located.
As she walked into the meeting room, she could feel the eyes of the nobles and ministers on her. She knew that her appearance was unconventional for a diplomatic meeting. Still, she had decided that it was important to make an impression. She walked with purpose and confidence, her head held high.
The meeting was held in a traditional Japanese-style room, with tatami mats covering the floor and shoji paper doors lining the walls. The room was decorated with beautiful paintings and intricate wood carvings, giving it an air of elegance and refinement. There were a few big pictures on the walls. They would definitely be those of previous Daimyos or someone related to the Daimyo.
While they moved, Ryuki couldn't help but notice how beautiful Kushina looked in this outfit. Her hair was neatly styled, and her clothes fit her curves perfectly. He felt a twinge of attraction and lust, but he pushed it aside. He had to remain professional, especially since they were in the middle of an important meeting. No matter how much he wanted to fuck the shit out of her.
He saw from the sidelines and his guard also eying her, though, from his expression, he was angrier. It seemed his friend still remembered his humiliation at her hands. Well, anyone would be. It added more fuel to his friend's anger that Kushina didn't even recognise the man she had beaten in the past. And it seemed she had overlooked him today as well.
Finally, as they all entered the room with only Shitoryu accompanying Kushina inside, The rest of the Konoha shinobi stood outside at the gates. The same could be said about Yumeki, who also stood at the entrance.
Inside the room, Kushina noticed every minister and noble had taken a position and were standing.
Ryuki gestured towards the other nobles and ministers in the room. "Please, allow me to introduce you to everyone." he said to Kushina.
He walked Kushina around the room, introducing her to each person by name. Kushina took note of their names and titles, trying her best to remember them all. 'I hope I can remember their names ', she thought as she politely greeted everyone.
"Well, that's all for introductions", Ryuki finally finished, and Kushina relaxed a bit.
And then, like everyone, Kushina and Shitoryu sat in seiza position, their legs folded beneath them. Ryuki made sure to sit next to Kushina. A few servants entered as they placed some refreshments on the small table.
"My friends, nobles and my ministers, I know a lot of you have some disagreement with me regarding our latest agreement with Konoha. And we all know whatever we might do, we can't make changes in the agreement without involving Konoha into the matter." As he said, this Kushina saw a few nobles gritting their teeth. "It's good that Konoha wants to solve the problem so early, and they were compensating enough to have sent Kushina-san here. I welcome Kushina-san again to Hotsprings country." Ryuki started.
"Thank you Ryuki-dono, While there may be differences between us regarding agrement. I'm here to listen to all those misgivings and possibly find a solution to those." Kushina said
One of the men sitting on the left row, Kushina, recognised him as minister of trade for Daimyo and opened his mouth. "We're glad to have you here, Kushina-san. As you know, there have been some tensions between our nations over the past few months. We have numerous complaints about the trade routes being ambushed by bandits and local raiders. We have already lost quite a few exotic trades to the raiders and bandits. Some of our traders are refusing to continue their business here due to this reason. Where are our protection against them? While they provide security to trades coming from Konoha route they do nothing on the other routes. I was under the impression that Konoha would be protecting the routes but all the reports indicate that the routes are left unsupervised."
"Thank you, minister. We believe that communication and cooperation are key to resolving any conflict. We want to work together to find a solution that benefits both our nations. Currently, most of our forces have been concentrated around the borders to guard them from any incoming threats. We still have our troops patrolling the routes but the numbers have been decreased for reasons I already mentioned. As of now, our priority has been to secure the borders as the threat from a rival nation is greater than some random bandits and occasional raids." Kushina answered. She could see the minister seething in his seat at her words, She was here from Konoha not to sooth the nobles. "But I understand that the threat of bandits is still a problem as it seems they have taken advantage of our reduced numbers of patrols. I will speak with the Hokage about increasing the number of troops for patrols and to prioritise the routes taken by the traders." She added.
Then a man in his late thirties with a big belly spoke. She recognised him as one of the nobles named Takamura fired. " We feel that Konoha has been treating us like a colony. You took our lord and forced him to agree to a deal without any negotiations or getting us involved. The number of troops stationed here has also been increased as if to intimidate us and keep us from vocalising our dissatisfaction. And these are just a few things to name. We want to be treated as equals, not as subjects." Kushina could feel anger in his tone.
"I understand your concerns, and I assure you that Konoha does not see Hotsprings as a colony. As I already said before, we have been concentrating most of our forces around the borders. And this country shares borders with a rival nation. The additional troops are to ensure extra protection in the event of an invasion. They are not here to oppress you or your people. We want to have a mutually beneficial relationship with your nation, based on respect and trust afterall" She replied in a soothing tone.
At this, another minister, this one was the minister of the law, said, "We've received an offer from Kumogakure. They're offering us free trade deals and generous shares with higher profit margins. They have even offered to share some of their newly invented technologies and have promised us top level protection by sending his elite troops. Compared to the deal we currently have with Konoha, it seems more appealing and better for us."
"I see. The only reason why you are getting a "better" deal is because this country happens to grow rare medicinal herbs exclusive to its climate and environment. Still, they are useless to you as you have no ability to process them or use them effectively without support from us. I have no doubt that Kumo wants to use the herbs to replicate our success in turning them into medicines.Well, they will fail at that and if you had agreed to their deal, you would have lost access to the medicines as well. I believe you are aware of the fact that Kumogakure has been pushing and expanding their borders for the past two years. Small nations around them have been annexed or are under their rule. I wouldn't trust them if I were you. Especially after they learn that they cannot replicate our success with the herbs. This is just a ploy by them to annex this country." Kushina replied.
"But why is there an exclusivity clause? Can't we trade with both villages independently" another noble spoke.
'Ugh, What is with these silly questions, don't they know these points were already in the signed deal?' she thought before speaking.
"Well, given our nations are allies and Kumo is not and as per agreement it's not just you who cant sign deals with Kumo. It applies to us as well. We also can't sign any deal with the neighbouring village without informing you. So see we are equal here. And this is still the best option for both of our nations. We're willing to negotiate and make adjustments to the agreement, to make it more appealing to you" She stated.
This seemed to placate a few of the nobles, but another one spoke, "But what about the Konoha shinobis creating problems for our people? They have been doing whatever they like without any consequences. There have been reports about them terrorising the locals, disrupting business, even harassing the women. While you may have acted, This problem has not gone away and still persists. It feels less like a protection for us and more about our country being used as a place to dump troops for your own protection. We are better off without your shinobi occupying our precious land if our people have to suffer due to their actions. It feels like we are being used."
" I assure you Konoha is not using you. The shinobi stationed here are all warriors capable of protecting this country from an invasion. While there may be some who have lost their discipline, they can be looked upon. I will discuss with the captains to check and sort out the troublemakers and will personally oversee the process. Besides, we also send you quite a generous sum for using this country's soil. Konoha shinobis aren't just protecting us but you also. If there were no troops stationed here, this country would have already been targeted by multiple nations both small and big. And without our deal we wouldn't be able to help you. You know what war is like, don't you ?" She added a lingering threat in a stern voice, then quickly added in a softer tone, " We believe that by working together, we can ensure the safety of our people."
'Why this bitch? Is she threatening us? We are only cooperating because you made me sign the deal, and you're powerful. ' Ryuki thought
The discussion continued for several hours, with both sides offering their perspectives and suggestions throughout the meeting. Ryuki consistently eyed her. He was intrigued by her way of handling things here and couldn't help but steal glances at her with his thoughts filled with lust and anger. He was waiting for her to falter, but she was doing good so far.
And Kushina seems to be getting frustrated by non-ending questions from the council.
As the meeting continued, she couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable in her tight pencil skirt. It was definitely not meant for seating like this for long hours. Unbeknownst to her, the skirt had ridden up a bit, revealing a bit more of her shapely thighs than she intended.
This had an effect as many men started to eye her. 'Oh my, Kushina-san's skirt has ridden up a bit. She's quite a catch, isn't she?' One of the men thought.
Kushina tried to maintain her composure, but she couldn't shake the feeling that some of the nobles were eyeing her inappropriately. She shifted in her position, hoping to adjust her skirt without drawing too much attention to herself.
Despite the distraction, the meeting continued on. Kushina and Shitoryu listened attentively as the Daimyo's ministers and his nobles presented their concerns and requests which turned sillier as time went on.
Kushina felt her headache and tiredness growing as the day went on. Her lack of sleep and the stress of the meeting were taking their toll on her. She tried to remain alert and attentive, but her mind kept drifting off, and she found herself zoning out during some of the discussions.
Finally, after several hours of intense negotiations, the Daimyo called for a lunch break. Kushina was grateful for the chance to rest and recuperate. She walked out of the meeting room, taking deep breaths of fresh air to clear her head.
--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------
Outside the room, Yumeki Satoru, the head of security and Daimyo's friend, was standing and making small talk with shinobis. He remembered how angry he had been when that redhead cocky bitch didn't even recognize him and even had the gall to act bitchy in front of the leader of this country. He remembered how he had been drunk for days after her departure and fucked whores here and there while dressing them as her.
He still remembered he had devised plans to cause disruptions, and thankfully, his friend was more than ready to help him. Ryuki-san didn't like her behaviour at all. Getting nobles and ministers to agree on one thing had been quite a task, but he had succeeded somehow. And sending a secret message to Kumogakure had been more complicated than he thought. But somehow, he had managed to get a message through, and they had sent people to set a 'trade ' deal.
He was surprised to see the redhead but was more than glad she had come. While his plans might not be fully completed, something was still salvageable. He grinned at that prospect.
He had tried getting information about Kushina from Konoha shinobis. Still, all he got so far was that she was headstrong and stubborn. He had subtly tried to probe the shinobis, asking about her schedule, routines, and anything they knew about her.
He even went so far as to successfully seduce a kunoichi for information on her. While Kunoichi was a nice fuck. But they had just basic information. And it seemed kunoichis worshipped Kushina. He understood he would have to get in touch with some higher-rank shinobis to get more details.
So here he was, standing with that bitch's guards. Out of these four, he only knew a couple of them, having met with them at one of the parties he had thrown for his 'shinobi friends' in Daimyo's compound. Currently, he was with two of them at the sides, having left guard duties to two other shinobis and a couple of his assistants.
"So you're telling me you all were also caught off guard by Kushina-san's arrival ?" Yumeki asked.
"Yeah, man, she just showed up. I think only Shitoryu-san was in the loop about the news of her arrival", The shinobi named Kaito spoke. "If I had known, I would have at least shaved and dressed in a cleaner uniform", he continued.
"Not that Kushina-sama cares, as long as we don't fuck up in our duties ", the second shinobi named Chiruku replied.
"Man, that must be harsh seeing your boss showing up suddenly", Yumeki spoke casually.
"Well It's not that bad, It is just a diplomatic mission. We are here just for show. Besides, Kushina-sama travelled all night to come here for this meeting. We are the least of her worries." Kaito replied.
"Say Kaito-san, Kushina-san is very beautiful. I'm sure she also has many admirers among you shinobis, right ?" Yumeki changed the topic quietly, noting news about her travelling all night.
"Shh, speak in low volume. Well, of course, there are lots of admirers. There are only a few kunoichis as beautiful and powerful as Kushina-sama. But you have to tread carefully. She is married and has a kid too. If she ever got a whiff, we are talking about her like this. She will pound us, '' Chiruku answered.
"Is that so I wouldn't mind being pounded by her." The guard, Yumeki, spoke with a straight face.
For a moment, there was silence, and then both shinobis barked out loud, "kekeke, that was a nice one. Kekeke pound kekeke," Chiruku barked out laughter.
"Yeah, nice pun, gehehe", Kaito also added.
But seeing the guard not laughing, Kaito stopped and looked. "You are not serious, are you ?" he asked.
Seeing Yumeki not reply but a slight smirk formed on Yumeki's face, Chiruku spoke, "He is serious."
"Oh well you are free to try Yumeki-san, I'm sure you will succeed," Kaito said with a grin. 'There is no way someone like Kushina-sama will even talk with him haha' he thought.
"You think I will fail ?" Yumeki asked, raising his eyebrows.
"No, no, definitely not, You should definitely go for it", Chiruku said 'It will be fun to see him being crushed by Kushina-sama.' He thought as he covertly looked at Kaito, who also nodded at his words. Both of them eye-smiled at each other.
'You may be quite big and strong physically. But the bigger they are, the harder they fall,' Kaito thought.
As the men continued to talk, the meeting room doors opened.
"Oh its time for lunch, See you after lunch Yumeki-san" Kaito spoke as he and Chiruku moved towards the entrance.
--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------
Kaito and Chiruku might just be chunins, but they knew that Kushina was a strong and independent woman who would never fall for someone like Yumeki, and they teased him for even trying. In their opinion, they were just trying to use the Head Guard to enjoy the services offered by Daimyo's place. The man was quite prideful, and they had listened to his boasting. They had to agree he was physically strong and could even defeat them if they didn't rely on ninjutsu. But still, it seemed he was also quite taken by Kushina-sama. Well, they were not really worried about her. 'What could a civilian do ?' they thought.
"He will fail, and it will be fun to watch," Kaito said with a laugh as they joined the other two at the doors.
"That it will be", Chiruku concurred.
They Bowed as Kushina, followed by Shitoryu, came out of the meeting hall. They dutifully walked behind them as Shitoryu led Kushina to one of the VIP rooms.
"So what do you think of the discussion until now Kushina-sama?" Shitoryu asked.
--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------
During the lunch break, Kushina ate a light meal and tried to relax. She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths, trying to shake off her headache and clear her mind. She had discussed a few points with Shitoryu, but he also had nothing to add.
After lunch, the negotiations resumed, and Kushina struggled to keep up. She felt her eyelids growing heavy and had to fight to stay awake. She took sips of water and tried to focus on the discussion. Still, her exhaustion was making it difficult, and it was doubly difficult as Noble and the ministers had a dispute among themselves.
It had been an hour after lunch Kushina guessed it would have been around three in the afternoon. The negotiations between Konoha and the Hotsprings nobles and ministers seemed to be going nowhere. It was here the daimyo opened his mouth, stopping the debate between two of his associates discussing bringing Konoha shinobis to their laws as long as they worked here.
"Thank you, everyone, for your time and efforts, Especially you, Kushina-san, coming here all the way from Konoha," he said, rising from his seat. "It seems that we are still far from reaching an agreement on our issues, but I am sure we will find a way to resolve them in due course. In the meantime, I would like to invite you and your fellow Konoha shinobi to a dinner party tonight. Of course, every one of my esteemed friends, nobles and ministers is also invited to join the feast. I have instructed my staff to prepare a sumptuous feast in your honour."
Kushina's heart sank as she heard the daimyo's words. She had thought the meeting would reach some resolution today. She had planned for a good sleep this evening, but it seemed for nought. All she wanted was a few hours of rest and sleep before returning to Konoha. But that plan seemed to have flushed down the gutter.
"Thank you, Daimyo-sama," she said, trying to hide her disappointment. She really didn't want to attend a formal dinner, but it was an official invite. She knew she had no choice but to attend the dinner party and try to represent Konoha as best she could.
. "We would be honoured to attend your dinner party this evening. I will make sure that my team is present."
With that, she bowed and left the meeting room, feeling exhausted and drained. She knew that she would have to find a way to recharge her energy and her spirits before the evening's festivities began.
The nobles and ministers started to filter out of the room, and as Kushina also started to make her way out of her room, she heard the daimyo call her. "Kushina-san", she stopped near the doors.
She turned as she saw the daimyo approaching her "Kushina-san", he spoke again. She looked at Shitoryu, who nodded and left towards the doors waiting with other shinobis.
"Thank you again for being patient with my associates. I know they can be a mouthful and sometimes don't know how the world really works. But they have a following and power here, so I can't outright shut them up," Ryuki spoke apologetically. By now, all Noble and ministers had gone out. Kushina was surprised by his admission, and she could imagine herself in his situation.
"No need to thank me, Ryuki-san, It's not an easy job to lead a country, and I understand that sometimes disagreements can occur." She spoke with a smile.
"Thank you, I'm glad you didnt take offence to the behaviour of my associates. I will try to quell some of their misgivings too. It's just that they think I signed the agreement with Konoha under pressure so they are acting like that. They think I'm a weak leader." Daimyo continued.
Kushina's eyes widened upon hearing that. "Oh, now I understand, But you are doing a good job. I hope all disagreements are resolved. It will be best for our villages," she said.
"I hope so too, Well it's one of the reasons I called dinner tonight." Daimyo said
Kushina nodded as she noticed someone walking into the room. It was Daimyo's Guard captain. 'Yumiko or something, I don't remember,' she thought.
Yumeki spoke something in Daimyo's ear, Kushina couldn't hear it, but she did see daimyo raising his eyes. After a few moments, the daimyo again opened his mouth. "Kushina-san, You must be tired after the journey and immediate meeting after."
She just nodded and replied "Yes, Ryuki-san, Saindaime-sama deemed this a high priority. It's how much Konoha values its relation with this village."
"Well then, you really must be cursing me for setting dinner tonight. If you want, I could schedule it for tomorrow", Ryuki blurted.
"No, no, it's not an issue, we are shinobis. And I think I can still go for the next few days if required," She lied, 'I could go for the next ten days without sleep if it was a fight or war, but this damn meeting has me defeated.' she thought.
"Really, you have quite a stamina then, If I had been in your place I would have already crumbled to fatigue after that long travel", he spoke in a surprised tone, then continued, "Well, at least let me offer you my finest onsen services here", He offered. 'Good to know she has stamina, would be helpful later' he laughed internally.
"No, No, Ryuki-san, Thank you for your kind offer. I don't really want to impose. I would have to decline." Kushina said with a slight bit of hesitation. The thought of soaking in onsen really seemed like a wonderful idea. And given what she had heard about onsens of this country from Mikoto and Hitomi, that sounded tempting. But she was here as an ambassador, not a tourist. Her mind raced with thoughts of rest and relaxation versus duty and responsibility.
Initially, Ryuki's face fell slightly at her refusal, but he quickly recovered as he internally grinned, having caught her little hesitation and offered again, "Kushina-san, I must insist that you take advantage of the premier hot springs services here. I assure you won't regret it." seeing her ponder on he thought 'hook.'
" You look tired, and I'm sure a soak in the hot springs and using our services will do wonders for your mood and tired body. It will rejuvenate you for the evening's dinner," he added ' line' he thought, mentally grinning.
Kushina knew that attending the dinner party was necessary for the success of the negotiations, but she also felt her body screaming for rest. She also knew daimyo seemed really helpful till now. Declining him again might not be a good idea for negotiations and just before dinner too. And that there is nothing wrong with taking a dip. It will relax me a bit,' she thought.
Before she could think further, the daimyo added, " Also, don't think as if you are imposing on us. You're our honoured guest, and it would be my pleasure to show you some hospitality."
Kushina smiles, "In that case, I would be honoured to use your services."
'And sinker,' he grinned internally. "Let me personally take you my most premium onsen in compound, It might not be the best in hotspring country but still it is the best here in my compound." He boasted.
'What does he mean by it not being the best ' she quickly discarded that thought as she turned and followed Ryuki out of doors. Seeing her entourage, Daimyo again cut her off, "Well, all of you are our guests, Yumeki. Show them to our finest masseuse centre for the males.''
Shitoryu, including the four chunins, looked at her. She just nodded, and they then quickly followed after the big man. Surprisingly daimyo took her in a different direction. ' Women's area must be on a different side ', she thought.
--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------
After travelling for what seemed like five minutes, they reached the area Kushina remembered where onsens were. She remembered her last tour when she had accidentally entered the men's area. A blush unconsciously formed on her face, and she quickly flushed those thoughts as she followed Daimyo to another building. As she entered the building, she could immediately see the differences from the one she had been taken on her last visit.
As soon as she entered the building, it led to an expansive lobby with a polished marble floor. A large crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling, casting a warm glow across the room, and a tranquil water fountain bubbles in the centre. The walls were adorned with intricate carvings and ornate decorations. There was a lone entrance at which a woman was seated. Kushina was in awe when her eyes landed on a Woman she immediately recognised as Akari. She was the same woman who had taken her on tour.
Akari comes to them and bows to them, "Akari, you know Kushina-san, Please make sure to give her a taste of our best services", he all but ordered her. The woman nodded and looked at Kushina.
"Welcome back, Kushina-sama. It's been a while," Akari greeted her with a smile.
"Thank you, Akari. It's good to see you again," Kushina replies, returning her smile.
"I will see you later, Ryuki-san," Kushina spoke and slightly bowed to the man and followed after Akari.
After Kushina removed her sandals and put them on a shoe stand, Akari opened the doors. Kushina could immediately feel the scent and aroma coming from inside. The door closes behind her as Kushina almost gasps at the vast expanse before her. This was nothing like the onsen she had last seen.
"This onsen is for VIP guests only Kushina-sama, unfortunately last time you were here. This area was in for maintenance." Akari quoted as he walked ahead of her.
Kushina only nodded, awestruck by the sheer size of the space. The onsen is cavernous, with high ceilings and mirrored walls on two opposite sides, creating a sense of endless space. The mirrors reflect the warm, golden light of the lanterns that hang from the ceiling, creating a cosy, intimate ambience. The other two walls are made of rough, natural stone, adding to the rustic charm of the space.
The massive mirrors, while acting as walls, also reflect the beauty of the onsen and amplify the natural light that floods the space. The mirrors are framed in a rich, dark wood, contrasting beautifully with the light-coloured tiles covering the floors and walls.
In the centre of the onsen is a large, deep pool of crystal-clear water surrounded by smooth, polished stones. The pool is surrounded by a wide wooden deck, which is lined with plush, comfortable loungers and fluffy towels.
"This is our main onsen here. The water is naturally heated by geothermal energy and is really soothing at a relaxing temperature that is perfect for soaking. It is also mixed with a few of our rare herbs for utmost relaxation and rejuvenation. " Akari spoke, pointing at the main onsen as they walked on cobblestones.
Akari took Kushina to a changing area which is adjacent to the pool. It featured wooden lockers and benches, as well as private changing rooms. The ground of the changing area is decorated in soothing earth tones, with soft lighting and natural textures that create a calming, serene atmosphere.
"This is Changing area. You could either use private changing rooms or change here as no one else is here." She then pointed at plush towels and even a hairdryer and toiletries in racks." As VIP service, we provide you with everything you require here."
She then pointed at the other side of the changing area. "That is the massage area. I would insist you at least try our service once. The massage near the pool just before a dip will just rejuvenate you."
She could see the massage area on the other side of the Changing area. The massage area floor is decorated in rich, warm colours, with plush, comfortable seating and soft lighting, creating a sense of relaxation and tranquillity. She noticed massaging tables lying just like in the open. 'Do rich nobles really massage in the open near the onsen?' she thought.
Akari then pointed at the other side of the main onsen. Kushina could see two additional pools. Both seemed of different colours from the main onsen. "Those are special onsens.One pool is slightly cooler than the main pool, perfect for guests who prefer a refreshing dip. The other pool is much hotter, with water that is rich in minerals and nutrients that are said to have healing properties."
'Damn, Konoha, Onsens are nothing in front of this. Mikoto and Hitomi were right. And this is not even the best,' Kushina thought. And these mirror walls really make this place so bright and appear bigger. Despite there being some steam in the onsen, there seemed to be no vapours condensing on the glass. Curious, she touched the glass wall. It seemed to be warm and appeared thick as well, seeing she could see the distance between her fingertip and its reflection.
"It's wonderful, isn't it, Kushina-sama" Akari's voice got her attention. "Daimyo-sama paid quite a fortune for placing these glass walls. I'm told he hired some shinobis to make seals on the glass so that it doesn't frost at all." Akari continued with a pride-filled voice.
'They must have used fuinjutsu', she thought. Curiously Kushina tried to see if there were any seals, but she couldn't find them. 'Must be on the backside. It must be making this glass warm hence no condensation. That must be one good sealmaster.'
"This looks so beautiful", Kushina finally spoke, looking around the area as her senses were being overwhelmed by the aroma.
"I'm so lucky Daimyo-sama gave me the opportunity to manage this place." Akari spoke with a devotion-filled voice." Oh I almost forgot to tell you that is the shower room, and if you want to enjoy steam or sauna rooms we have those too," she spoke, pointing at a far corner which had doors visible. "Of course we have cold plunge rooms too. This place was designed for daimyo-sama's guests to get all services at one spot. Of course, it is not as best as The Saikuzi hotel, but it's on the other side of the capital, and that place has only beat this place because they provide more facilities." Akari added
Kushina nodded, not really understanding what could have beat this place .
Akari continued, "Well, that's the introduction. But I assure you our services will leave this intro to dust., Now, please strip. I will bring some attendants and prepare for a massage." Akari said as if it was a regular thing.
'Damn, I never thought using an onsen could be so overwhelming. I thought Hyugas were extravagant. But this is completely on another level. But I should have foreseen it given its Hot springs village. It must be their pride, and this is the daimyo's VIP onsen. I can't wait to throw that on MIkoto's face. ' she smiled at the last thought as she looked at towels on wooden shelves.
--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------
Meanwhile, as Kushina left with Akari, the daimyo now had a big grin on his face looking at her swinging ass. 'I can't believe she fell for it'.
He waited for the doors to be closed and quickly walked briskly, almost running the way back he had come in with Kushina. Reaching outside, he quickly walked to the corner of the building and turned. There was a door. He promptly opened the doors and closed them behind him.
"You are already here", Ryuki spoke in a surprised voice as he took deep breaths, seeing Yumeki already inside, leaning on the wall.
"Well of course I couldn't miss this, could I ? Ryuki-sama" Yumeki replied with a big grin.
"What of those shinobis ? " Ryuki questioned.
"Well they won't be coming out anytime soon. I have left them with a few female masseuses. These shinobis think themselves so high and mighty but in the end they all are just humans. They all fall as humans. They thought they were using me but it was the other way." Yumeki spoke with disdain as he talked about shinobis.
"True that, well enough about shinobis. We have something more important on line right now, hehe," Ryuki spoke with a big lecherous grin.
Yumeki nodded as a big grin also formed on his face. Soon they reached the area, and both men looked at each other with a knowing smirk. The reason being they were standing just on the opposite side of the glass walls of the onsen Kushina was using.
"You really did a good job at this, Yumeki '', Ryukii said at the sight of Kushina talking with Akari on the otherside. It seemed Akari was telling the redhead about the onsen.
"Well I had too, This area was in maintenance anyway I just added these mirrors." Yumeki spoke. Their hearts almost stopped for a moment as they saw Kushina touching the glass.
"Does she sense us? I thought you had us covered," the daimyo asked.
"Don't worry, Ryuki-sama, she can't sense us. The seal master assured me no one would sense us inside this area. Neither from inside onsen nor from outside. We had to pay quite a sum to that seal master but apparently it does the job. He assured me no sound, no movement and even chakra could be sensed from here. I had even tested with those dumb Konoha shinobis. Besides, she can't even think this is a one way mirror as I had specially ordered that glass, it's not like ordinary one way mirrors which can easily be found out. " Yumeki boasted.
"Commendable, I'm glad to have you as my right hand man. I don't think anyone could have done this in such a short period of time. It's good this thing was ready just before she came" Ryuki grinned in relief as they saw Kushina backing away from the mirror.
"Of course Ryuki-sama, when men are driven in revenge they can do wonders. As long as I get my revenge on this cocky bitch, I will be fine." Yumeki spoke, glaring at Kushina.
"I'm sure we will succeed, my friend I'm sure we will tame this proudful bitch. She will learn her place. " Ryuki spoke.
"Oh it's about to start, " Ryuki spoke with a grin as he took a step closer to the mirror, seeing Akari leave redhead.
They saw the redhead looking at the departing form of the servant. She seemed to ponder for a moment before looking around.
--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------
Inside the onsen, Kushina looked around. She turned on her sensing for a few seconds, not sensing anyone nearby. She looked at the changing room and then at racks with towels pondering whether to go inside or not. 'I will have to be nude here anyway', she thought.
With that, she looked at her reflection in the mirror, smiling at herself. She stretched a bit.
--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------
"She's not going inside. It will be a show", Yumeki grinned.
"Ah, this is quite the setup, isn't it? Bitch has no idea we can see her every move. She completely deserves this," the daimyo speaks again.
The redhead reached for the buttons of her coat and undid them, and pulled the blazer away from her body, placing it neatly on a shelf.
"Look at those knockers man, why did she have to wear that irksome coat," Ryuki commented.
Kushina's body was an object of fascination for the men as they watched. They could see everything, and their eyes were glued to her every movement as she undressed. As she unbuttoned her blouse, they could see the swell of her breasts, barely contained by her white bra. They watched in rapt attention as she slowly removed her shirt, leaving her in now just in her skirt and white bra.
"I take that back. She shouldn't wear anything to cover those". Ryuki again opened his mouth and commented.
Yumeki whistled, "damn, those definitely grew from all those years ago. Not that I had seen those, but she definitely evolved for the better. Look at that toned belly, that waist perfect for holding."
Meanwhile, Kushina just unhooked and reached for the zipper of her skirt. The men's excitement grew as the skirt started to be pushed down. After pushing the tight skirt down her thighs, she quickly stepped out of it. Now standing in just her white underwear. They could see every curve of her body. Her breasts were full and round, with nipples that were already starting to harden from the heat of the onsen under the material of her bra. Her stomach was flat and toned, leading down to a patch of hair that they could just make out at the top of her panties.
By now, both men had a very obvious hard-on. With Yumeki rubbing his member over his pants.
"She may be bitchy, she may have a bad attitude, but she is no doubt ten on ten. That's one hell of a body," Yumeki said, looking at Kushina.
"I knew we wouldn't be disappointed. She totally deserves our attention," the daimyo added, licking his lips as Kushina reached for the hooks of her bra. As bra unclasped, revealing her ample breasts and pert nipples to the feisty eyes of men.
"Oh my, once I get my hands on those, Look At those gravity defying hooba hoobas ," the daimyo remarks in awe.
"Indeed, I just want to run in and pull those damn pinkish nipples of hers" the guard agrees as he increases the speed of his stroking his member.
Kushina, oblivious to the show she was putting on, Now pushed the final piece of clothing, her panties, down her legs, ultimately unveiling herself to the gaze of men. Her breasts hung as she bent a little to collect her panties. Her firm breasts, topped with erect nipples, jiggled from her movements, causing both men to grow increasingly aroused.
As she stood back up, her neatly trimmed strip of pubic hair over her lower lips came to view. Their eyes lingered on her curves and every inch of her exposed skin, their eyes glued to the sight of her exposed pussy. Feeling their own arousal building as they imagined what it would be like to touch her. The guard let out a low whistle, unable to contain his excitement. "Damn, she's even hotter than I thought," he muttered. Daimyo simply smirked, his gaze never leaving Kushina's body. "I think we're going to have a lot of fun with her," he said, his voice full of anticipation.
--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------
On the other side of the mirror, Kushina was unaware of the Daimyo and guard's voyeuristic activity. She had just finished undressing. As she stood there naked as the day she was born, Kushina couldn't help but admire her own reflection. She had always been proud of her body and appearance. Looking at how nipples were erect from being exposed to surroundings here, she couldn't help but blush a bit. 'Do I really look like this when I'm in hot springs? no wonder Mikoto gets so handsy', she thinks.
The men on the other side burned the beautiful and hot sight of Kushina's delicate features and curvaceous figure in their minds. The men couldn't believe their luck in being able to witness such a private moment.
"Look at her skin, so smooth, like silk. I wonder what it would feel like to touch it, " Daimyo murmured, his eyes fixated on Kushina's reflection. "It's like porcelain."
"Indeed, she has the skin of a goddess. So flawless and radiant. It's no wonder she's known as the Red Hot- Habanero." the guard smirked, making a pun out of Kushina's name she had earned.
"I'm sure she will be equally hot like a red habanero when my cock's inside her", Ryuki commented.
"I would give anything to run my hands, mouth and dick all over her body." Yumeki added
"All in due time, my friend. She will get what she deserves, beaten by our cocks." Ryuki added as they saw the redhead turning away, giving them a full view of her backside.
Yumeki increased his stroking as a moan escaped his mouth. "Damn, that ass. I will spank her to submission. I will ruin her, look at those curves," the guard added, licking his lips. "I could stare at her all day."
The Daimyo, too, watches with a smirk, enjoying the show. He can feel his own cock growing hard as he takes in sight before him. The guard continues to stroke himself as he watches Kushina move, her body a thing of beauty in his eyes.
Kushina, oblivious to their presence, continued to admire her own reflection, unaware of the lascivious thoughts that were passing through the minds of those on the other side of the mirror.
Her attention was bought as she sensed Akari returning with a couple of female attendants. She turned back, picking up a towel to cover her front, feeling a bit shy.
Akari watches her with interest, taking in every detail of Kushina's body. "You're very beautiful, Kushina-sama," she says softly and then added "Do all kunoichi have such a shapely body? I can't imagine the work needed to maintain such a figure. I'm so jealous"
Kushina blushes and looks away, feeling a little self-conscious. But at the same time, she can't help feeling a thrill of excitement at the attention.
"Well, let's start with a massage before you can take a dip in the onsen," Akari spoke, and Kushina nodded, and Akari instructed the attendants to set up a table near the edge of the main pool beside Kushina.
Akari meanwhile came close to kunoichi, Kushina hadn't tied the towel, and she didn't think it was meant to be tied anyway, given it was so small. "Let me tie up your hair Kushina-sama," Kushina nodded and turned towards Mirror as Akari tied her hair in a neat bun. "You should relax, Kushina-sama, leave everything to us. Just enjoy the experience here" She continued sensually pressing muscles on her shoulders.
"Akari-san, we are ready," one of the attendants said.
"Let's go, Kushina-sama, also you can leave the towel here, we will show you how massage besides an onsen really feels ", Akari said to Kushina.
Kushina just nodded and followed the advice.
Kushina lay down on her stomach on the massage table, her face heating up being nude in front of complete strangers, even if they were women. Her breasts smashed on the table. Surprisingly, being near the pool, she could feel the aroma of herbs. They left a relaxing sensation in her mind.
"We will be starting Kushina-sama," she heard Akari speak. She felt warm liquid dropping on her spine as a couple of attendants started roaming their hands on her back. The scent of lavender hit her senses. Once the attendants were done, Akari instructed them to move away.
Akari focused on Kushina's shoulders, using her palms to apply more pressure to the muscles on either side of Kushina's neck. She used her fingers to knead any knots or tension that she found after spending a few minutes on Kushina's shoulders.
Akari then placed a warm towel on Kushina's back to help relax her muscles. Starting at the base of Kushina's neck, Akari applied light pressure using her palms and worked her way down Kushina's spine. She then used her fingertips to massage the muscles on either side of Kushina's spine, using circular motions to ease any tension. Kushina's mouth opened in an inaudible gasp at the sensation. 'She might not be Hyuga masseuse but it feels almost the same,' Kushina thought.
Akari continued to work on Kushina's back for several minutes, gradually increasing the pressure as Kushina's muscles began to relax. She felt Kushina being like a putty in her hands. Deliberately not touching her ass, She then moved down to Kushina's legs, starting at the thighs and working her way down to the calves. She used long, sweeping strokes to help ease any tension in Kushina's muscles. Finally, Akari spent some time massaging Kushina's feet, using her fingers to knead any tension in the soles of Kushina's feet.
Kushina, meanwhile, had closed her eyes, enjoying the sensation. The scent of the essential oils filled the air. Kushina closed her eyes and focused on the sensations, letting out soft moans as Akari's skilled hands worked their magic. Her thoughts drifted to Minato, but then she pushed him out of her mind, focusing instead on the pleasure that Akari was giving her. She could feel her fingers trailing around her inner thighs. She felt a warmth spreading through her body, and she let out a gasp as suddenly Akari's fingers brushed against her most sensitive spots. Her eyes opened as she looked at Akari.
"Sorry, Kushina-sama, I should have warned." Akari said apologetically. Kushina just nodded, In no condition to answer.
--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------
"Look at the way her back arches," the guard whispered, his eyes fixed on Kushina's form. His dick was now out of his pants as he looked at the naked form lying redhead covered in oil. They had moved to the area where Akari had conveniently positioned Kushina parallel to the mirrored wall.
"Indeed," the daimyo agreed, his gaze unwavering. "And her skin looks so smooth and unblemished. I wish I could Just goinside and fuck her into submission.."
"Daimyo-sama", A female voice interrupted them. Turning back, the men saw one of the attendants behind them with a bundle in her hands.
Ryuki grinned. "Ah Seiko, you're here, come on, come on, give it to me."
The female attendant handed him the bundle made of towel to the daimyo and quickly bowed and left the room.
"What's that ?" Yumeki asked.
"Ha! This is the perfect souvenir. I'll keep it as a reminder of our time here." Daimyo answered with a grin as he opened the knots.
Guard's eyes widened as he looked at the contents of the bundle "hehe You really don't do anything half-cooked. " he grinned.
Inside the bundle were Kushina's clothes, the very clothes she had just worn, including her underwear. The men examine them in great detail after discarding her outfit.
"That shall be used later. I know her perfect size now, hehe" Daiyo grinned as he brought Kushina's panties to his nose and deeply inhaled it. "This is intoxicating", he grinned while looking at the redhead shuddering under Akari's hands.
"Perfecttt, " Yumeki also grinned as he suckled on Kushina's bra, imagining as if sucking on her nipples "ahhhm, I can taste herrr" His other hand now stroking his member even faster.
Both men laughed, and they threw knowing glances at each other. Ryki stretched the panties as if testing their elasticity.
As they are doing this on the other side of the mirror, Akari now has Kushina on her back. Giving them a clear view of her full frontal view from the top. They just couldn't take it as they clearly saw hardened nipples and glistening pussy. Ryuki took his hardened member out and wrapped Kushina's panties around his cock.
Guard also wrapped the bra around his cock. "Take it bitch, take my big cock", Ryki could hear him mutter.
"Yes, Yes, put on a show for us," the daimyo remarked, looking at the redhead as her body shuddered.
"I'd want to have a go at her myself," the guard said, stroking himself at full speed with Kushina's bra.
"Perhaps someday you will," the daimyo said with a smirk. "But for now, let us enjoy what we have."
--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------
On the other side of the mirror wall, as the massage continued, Kushina found herself getting more and more aroused, her body responding eagerly to Akari's touch. She wondered what it would be like to experience this with Minato, but for now, she was content to enjoy the moment. She didn't mind that she was showing emotions so easily. For now, she just wanted to surrender to her body's demands.
Akari continues to massage Kushina's front. Her hands glide down to Kushina's breasts, and she gently squeezes them while also massaging her nipples. Kushina moaned softly as she felt the current running down her body.
"Ah, Kushina-sama, That's your weak point. I guess I will be careful," she heard Akari say.
Akari then moves her hands down further, sliding her fingers over Kushina's stomach and circling her navel. She massages her way down to her hips, gently kneading the muscles in Kushina's thighs. Kushina's breathing becomes more rapid as Akari's hands move closer and closer to her folds. She feels Akari pouring some oil right over her pubes and gently stroking her. 'Does this oil have something? Does the onsen have to do something with these sensations, ' Kushina thought.
"You will not find this oil anywhere outside the hot springs village. That too, these are used by the royal family only,'' Akari spoke as she rubbed Kushian over and over.
As she works her way down, her hands reach under her . she gently squeezes and kneads Kushina's buttocks, eliciting a moan of pleasure from her.
Akari smiled, continuing her work. "I'm glad to hear that, Kushina-sama. You deserve to feel relaxed and taken care of." She traced her fingers over the curve of Kushina's breasts, feeling the hardening nipples under her touch.
Kushina gasped, her body trembling with pleasure. "Mhhhm, mhmm," she controlled her voice, her hands gripping the table tightly.
Akari moved her hands lower, trailing her fingers down Kushina's stomach and towards her navel. She circled her fingers around the sensitive area, causing Kushina to moan even louder.
"I can't help it," Kushina groaned. "You're so good." She arched her back, pressing her body into Akari's touch.
As the massage came to an end, Kushina felt more relaxed and rejuvenated, her tiredness from travel and lack of sleep now gone. "Thank you, Akari," she murmured, a contented smile on her face. Though she could feel other problems now, she was so aroused now. 'Is this onsen special ?' she thought.
'I'm so glad you are finally accepting me,' the naughty voice giggled in her head. Surprisingly the other voices seemed to be absent
Akari smiled back, her heart filled with joy at having helped her friend feel so good. "Anytime, Kushina-sama. You can now take a dip. I will bring you some wine."
Kushina nodded as she stood up, looking at herself in the mirror, her skin shining with a layer of oil covering her. Her face was red, and she could see her lower lips glistening in reflection.
--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------
"Look at her gooooo !!" Guard muttered, finally cumming in Kushina's bra at the sight of Akari playing with Kushina's pussy. "In the end, she is also a bitch in heat," he commented, taking a deep breath.
Ryuki, on the other hand, just nodded, agreeing he had also cummed in Kushina's panties. They were now just wrapped around his cock.
They saw the redhead standing and looking in the mirror again, giving them a full show of her body before she slowly went inside the pool. They noticed her relaxing, with only her head being visible.
Soon Akari came and handed Kushina a Saucer filled with Ryuki's finesse wines.
"Well, she deserves that costly drink after giving us a show", Daimyo barked out with a laugh. They could see hints of her boobs trying to come out of her water. Despite seeing her nude, they couldn't wait to see more of her. It was like they were hypnotised by her body. Their lust for her grew stronger.
--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------
Akari left Kushina after giving her wine. Kushina took a couple of sips immediately and was hooked by the taste. As her glass was finished, she looked around. There was no one here. She could already feel the pool's warm water melting away her fatigue. This was the best onsen she had taken a dip in her life.
As she was relaxing, a naughty thought entered her mind. A grin formed on her face as her hands reached her lower lips. First, it was one finger, then a couple as she started to slowly move them in and out. 'Akari-san may have been good, but by Kami, I'm spoiled by Mikoto and Hitomi's messages,' she thought, remembering how her friends took every opportunity to touch her. Her back automatically arches at each movement as her fingers do in and out.
'Yes yes feel it, this is how Orihime felt in Icha Icha, see this is truly liberating, we have to let go of our inhibitions. Come see the difference,' The naughty voice was singing in her head.
On the other side of the mirror, Yumeki's eyes dilated and filled with lust. "Look at bitch in heat go. The so-called prim and proper lady is nothing but degenerate in the end, " he said with a grin as his member again hardened at the sight of the redhead playing with herself.
"Well, in the end, all women are nothing but slaves to their desires. Kunoichis are more slutty than any other women. And this bitch was denying me, I would love to look at her face next time I meet her," Ryuki spoke in a similar condition as he started to stroke himself on Kushina's panties.
In Onsen, Kushina pushed one of her hands over her mouth to cover moans threatening to escape her mouth as her fingers worked on her pussy. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, she had a much-awaited release. Her back arched as her breasts emerged from the water, her nipples facing up.
"I can't wait anymore. Let me go suck on those damn nipples of hers. I want to spank and fuck her like the slut she is." the head guard spoke as he came again. He was starting to make his way to the doors with the full intention of going inside.
"Don't you dare ruin our work Yumeki" Ryuki's words stopped her. "We will get her, this is just a start."
Guard just stopped and nodded. As Ryuki threw Kushina's clothes at him, "you can play with them. Get any female to dress in her clothes and fuck her. Don't forget to take sizes, though," Ryuki grinned.
"I will," Yumeki replied, looking at the redhead who now sported a satisfied smile on the other side.
--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------
Kushina remained in the pool for five minutes when Akari came again. "Would you like to have a dip in other pools, Kushina-sama?" she asked.
"Nah, I think I'm done for the day. I feel rejuvenated enough. Thank you, Akari," she answered politely as she slowly climbed out of the pool. The water slowly dripped down her body as Akari handed her a towel.
After drying herself, Kushina walked to the shelves where she had put her clothes on. Her body is now barely covered in a short towel provided by Akari. The towel was struggling to hold her bosom, and it just ended below her crotch.
She was surprised to see her clothes missing, "Oh I'm sorry Kushina-sama. Our attendants took your clothes for washing. They will be returned to your room." Akari said in an apologetic tone.
Kushina nearly panicked hearing that. As if seeing her panic, Akari continued, "As a VIP service, we do offer you a bunch of brand new Yukatas. Please follow me."
With that, Akari opens a door behind one of the shelves leading her to a closed room.
--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------
"Damn she's gone, I wish I could see more of her," Yumeki said with a forlorn expression. "When we are done with her I'm making her remain nude by my side or dressed in that short towel nothing else. " He grinned.
"She did look remarkable in that towel, didn't she? In my opinion, that should be her dress," Ryuki added his two points.
"Welp, Guess let's go outside. I have to become civilised with that bitch again. I don't know how I can control myself after seeing her like this." Ryuki commented. As he pulled up his pants and turned out any wrinkles.
"Wait for me there. I will follow you. I wanna see bitch's stoic face too. It will now have no effect on me. I think it will arouse me more haha, seeing her face," Yumeki added.
--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------
Inside the room, Kushina is shown various options for yukatas. Unfortunately, she was told there was no underwear. 'I would have to go commando', she thought.
The Yukatas seemed to be of various styles and prints. But most of them seemed too risky to go without any underwear. There were some short ones barely reaching her mid-thighs. 'I can imagine ourselves going outside wearing that. What could go wrong? Mikoto would be proud,' she heard the naughty voice speak in her head.
'Shut it,' the moral voice shouted.
Finally Kushina settles on a long, light yellow-coloured yukata offered by Akemi. It had beautiful floral patterns, and she was sure it was bound to be costly like everything here.
She can't help but feel a little self-conscious about its sleeveless design and the amount of cleavage it shows. The fabric is light and silky against her skin, and it clings to her body, emphasising her curves, though she felt shoulder straps slipping. She can feel the cool air brushing against her exposed cleavage as she ties the sash around her waist.
Coming out of the room and looking at the reflection, she couldn't help but feel strangely excited and empowered. 'When was the last time I went Commando in public' she thought. She had gone commando several times in her career as a kunoichi, but never like this. Those had been at the of long missions when her underwear ruined on periods.
"Thank you, Kushina-sama, for visiting, I hope you will come here again." Akari said as she led her outside of the main entrance. Kushina quickly put on her high heels.

Ok, here's the next update. It was pretty challenging to write with all the descriptions and dialogues. Hope I did justice. I wanted to add the dinner scene too, but it was already too long, so let's put it on the next one, haha xd.
How was the chapter? What do you expect next? Do you expect any surprises on commando Kushina?
I would like to see some predictions, hehe?
Do let me hear your thoughts. Did it come out as unexpected? Rate it out of 10.
Suppose you have any plot that can be added to Training, the redhead. Do let me know.
I have started posting some pictures and renders related to the story on pixiv, Deviantart, and Twitter. The username is the same, "MrVectorPath." If I have time, I will try to turn this into a visual novel, if you would like to help me, do join me on discord.
I also have made P-a-t-r-e-o-n under the same username where I post high-resolution and Nsfw versions of some pictures. It's not required to support it, but if you are interested, it's there.
Currently, there are no tiers for fanfiction as of now, but I will add if people are interested and maybe give out advanced chapters and include some scenes from the supporters.
