It brings a lot of past events into new context, but Naruto handles it well!

*Thunk* *Thunk* *Thunk*

"Master?" Anko asked, worried but trying to hide it. "I know as well as anyone how hard your head is, but you're denting the countertop."

Naruto stopped and opened his eyes to see she was right, there was a distinctive depression in the wood that matched the Leaf Village symbol on his headband. Honestly kind of an improvement.

Anko floated up beside her Master and pulled him into a hug before he could start redecorating the walls. "C'mon, Master. Relax." Her fingers slipped the battered headband off and set it aside. "Most young men your age would be thrilled to win a Clan Heiress's affections."

Naruto wiggled out of the hug after a moment longer, smiling apologetically. "Sorry Anko, but I'm too tense to even relax— I was so stupid! Hinata probably hates me by now! She tried to talk to me when I first returned to the village and I just brushed her off to see Sakura!"

"Hmm..." Anko made a thoughtful noise. With a snap of her fingers the genie was naked but for her jewelry and a sultry smirk. "How about now? Still too tense to relax with me?" She drifted over to lay on the couch and patted her breasts invitingly. Though, curiously, her tail remained in place, stretching into a thin wisp of violet smoke that led to a locked cabinet, where Naruto had hidden the storage scroll containing the genie's Lamp.

Naruto wavered between the two choices of wallowing in guilt or boobs. "Ahh dammit! Alright." He sighed explosively and shoved his face into his genie's sinfully soft boobs, bringing instant comfort. His tense body relaxed further as Anko started running her fingers in his hair, scratching his scalp, and began to hum a familiar song.

The blond let his hands wander as well, one hand reached up to tweak a nipple while the other headed lower. When it tried to venture beyond the curve of Anko's hip however, it passed right through the genie's tail, making her gasp in surprise as the smoke parted around his fingers. Which was actually an odd sensation to him as well, the smoke looked thin and wispy, but it had some substance to it like a really dense fog.

"Anko, I have a question." Well, that wasn't what actually came out of his mouth, more like 'Nkuh, ah hav kwshun'— but, one of the many perks of being a sex genie was being fluent in boob-muffled speech.

"Yes, Master?"

"Why'd you switch back to having a tail instead of legs?"

"Because once we were inside your apartment, your order for me to be discreet no longer applied."

"Huh?"

"Master, a genie's tail is a symbol of bondage and servitude. Especially for a sex genie, since having my tail present means I have no access to my pussy or ass without your permission."

Naruto lifted his head up, an incredulous look on his face. "You mean you don't have any lady parts right now?"

The genie waggled her purple eyebrows. "Not unless you want me to Master."

"That's kinda hot." He found himself saying.

Anko simply nodded in agreement, a submissive thrill running through her.

"...but it also feels kinda weird." Naruto admitted. "And I want to be able to enjoy your ass and thighs properly, so I give you permission to have legs whenever you want to." What the hell did he just say!? Why did it feel right?

"Thank you, Master." Anko beamed as her legs reformed, her violet-painted toes wiggling. Though, she would have been just as ecstatic if he had ordered her to never have legs again outside of a bed. "Do you want to try out my pussy now? Maybe even use my ass?" She put on a perversely innocent expression. "Y'know, I've never had anything other a few fingers and toys in there, your cock would be my first~"

Naruto's wide-eyed face was so heated it could've boiled whole pots of water to make ramen with. "I never— uhm! You- the Pervy Sa-mpf."

She kissed him, without any tongue this time, then pulled away when his cheeks no longer glowed. "Or we can keep cuddling?"

He nodded several times. "Yeah, let's."

They spent the next twenty minutes doing just that, nothing more exciting than lazy fondling and occasionally kissing. Anko laid against the back of the couch with Naruto beside her. His position low enough for the genie to rest her chin on his his head and pillow his head in her bosom. The two of them naked aside from Anko's jewelry and Naruto's track pants.

Finally, his racing thoughts calmed down, thanks to his lovely genie. Naruto was amazed at how quickly he'd accepted her place in his life. He'd known the old her —Well, more like known of her but still— for years. And yet, after maybe three hours of being her Master, he couldn't imagine life without Anko as his sex ****. The thought of owning another person didn't even make him uncomfortable anymore!

Once he'd relaxed enough. Naruto spoke up about Hinata. "I honestly really do like her. She's pretty, obviously. Beautiful even. And her family's rich sure, but also a bunch of assholes, so that cancels out." His fist clenched in memory of defeating Hinata's cousin Neji in the Chunin Exams. "But more than any of that superfist-superfickal- Looks stuff. I really admire how kind and brave she is, she's smart and thoughtful, and she's a great Shinobi."

"Sounds to me like you already return her feelings. Why'd you always chase after your teammate then?"

Why did he? "Because... Sakura was the only girl at the Academy who treated me like a normal person. Sure, she didn't always like me very much. And had a huge temper— but it was for stuff I actually did most of the time instead of hating me stupid reasons beyond my control." His chest started to feel lighter. It hurt, but in a good way. "As we got older I thought she was really pretty, smart and then just..." He sighed and looked at the ceiling. "Got fixated on a childhood crush I guess."

Anko winced sympathetically. "And that blinded you to Hinata, who was too shy to approach you herself until last week when you brushed her off."

He groaned with his head in his hands. What if he'd actually noticed Hinata's feelings earlier? Would things have changed if he befriended her, even dated her? Would he be on a team with her instead? What would have happened with Sasuke and Orochimaru if he wasn't there or Hinata has replaced Sakura?

It was like the time he and Jiraiya had spent two days hiking a narrow trail up a mountain, sometimes needing to use Earth jutsu to fix unstable ground or chakra-walk up sheer cliff faces. Only to find they'd been a couple miles away from a well-paved road through a valley.

Sure the road would have been easier and faster, but that young couple would have died in a rock slide if Naruto and Jiraiya hadn't been there to help them. The what-ifs and maybes could drive him insane or leave him paralyzed if he let them.

Anko hugged him tightly, her breasts pressing into him. "Tell me how to help, Master." She crooned in his ear, her warm breath making him shiver. "Focus on the root of your problem. What would make something like this not happen again?"

The root of his problem? That was kinda obvious now. "I just wish I could see when a girl liked me!" He said, not even thinking about the W-word until he said it. Whoops?

Anko brightened as the energy of pure Desire flowed through her once again, along with the addictive thrill of obedience. "As you wish, Master!"

Naruto's eyes itched and his vision blurred for a second before returning to normal. "Gah! That was so weird!" He shuddered to shake the feeling off. Then, curious, he squinted at his apartment. "Nothing's changed?"

The pillows behind him trembled, and a chuckle reached his ears. "I don't think there's anything different to notice with your furniture, Master. Maybe try looking at another of your possessions?"

Oh, right. Those weren't normal pillows. He'd been laying on Anko's chest. He sat up, one hand inadvertently squishing into the meat of her thigh, drawing out a pleased coo from her lips.

"What do you mean? What's so funny—" He started, embarrassed by her laughing at him, then his jaw slackened in amazement when he turned to look down at her. "Whoa..."

"Like what you see?" The purple-haired genie chuckled throatily as she lounged on his couch with her shapely legs splayed open, revealing the extent of her arousal. Her sodden pussy glistened as she stroked a pair of fingers through her folds. "It's all yours whenever you wish, Master~"

It would have been the most astonishing, and arousing, display Naruto had ever seen. If not for the corona of light demanding all of his attention. They weren't true colors, and wouldn't interfere with his normal sight at all after a little practice, but right now it stunned him. He had to blink away awed tears.

The Gold of Devotion was the brightest, pure and radiant as the sun. Then the Pink of Lust practically steamed off of her, begging him to let go and release all of his stress and tension on her willing body. Finally, the Red of Love in multiple hues that he somehow knew symbolized romance, friendship and comradery, and even familial love, shone steady and strong beneath the others.

"You're beautiful..." Naruto breathed as he saw the colors swirl and shift, the red of Love growing brighter as Anko blushed.

"Master! You can't say things like that without warning!" She tried to put on an annoyed expression, but her uncharacteristically shy smile refused to go away. "Now are you gonna use your genie or not? I'm at your service, Master. Always."

Naruto gulped as he considered that tempting proposition.
