Back at Naruto's apartment

Naruto was sitting at foot of his bed, naked and staring ahead at nothing in a blissful daze. Sakura was knelt down and massaging him from behind, her hands gliding over his body with dexterous care. She had been quick to move them somewhere more private after their love making and Naruto's apartment was the ideal location. While keeping him in a light trance, they had snuck back to his home. Now she was trying to make final preparations before he left for his trip.

"You're leaving soon aren't you?" she asked while continuing to gently knead his shoulders.

"Uh, huh-" Naruto acknowledged dully, his mind- while aware- was fully charmed by the kitsune's spell. "Pervy sage was gonna arrive at my place by four."

Sakura glanced at the clock. She had little over a quarter of an hour to finish this up. It wasn't much, but it'd be enough to have one last bit of fun. She made several hand signs before she snaked one of her hands down and around his waist and took hold of his cock. Naruto shivered and sat a little more upright as she began to stroke, but continued to look ahead into nothing. She placed her free hand on the side of his head, near his temple, and began channeling chakra into him at the point.

"We can't have someone like Jiraiya getting suspicious while you're away," she stated coolly, all the while continuing to tenderly jerk him off. "So until you return from this trip, you're going to have to forget these last few hours."

"Nuh-," Naruto mumbled in protest but didn't really show any signs of resistance. "I don't want to forget-loved it-love you..."

Sakura couldn't help but smile at the sentiment as she switched up how she touched him; now running her fingers tantalizingly over the tip of his member between each stroke.

"Don't worry, I won't erase your memories," she softly assured him with a kiss to the back of his neck. "They'll just be buried deep in your subconscious. And when you come back, I'll let you remember everything. That's not so bad is it?"

Naruto's whole body sagged, reclining right into her.

"Guess not..."

Sakura slowed the pace of her stroke as she focused more on placing her mental seal on Naruto.

"And I'll even leave you with a lovely memory. You'll remember that we went on a date. A simple, innocent date. We got ramen. I enjoyed it."

"Just a simple date..." Naruto repeated. "Sakura-chan enjoyed it..."

"And how does knowing that I enjoyed it make you feel?" the kitsune asked as she started to increase the pace of her strokes.

"Happy," Naruto answered honestly.

By now, Naruto's cock was throbbing in Sakura's hand as she continued to run it up and down his manhood, faster and faster.

"I want you to cum," she commanded. "I want you to release everything."

"Y-yes," Naruto stammered as she continued to stroke.

"When you cum," she breathed into his ear, "your mind will wipe away the last few hours and you'll become blank."

"Yes," his voice wavering.

"You'll only remember what I told you to."

"Yes, Sakura-chan-"

His cock was twitching madly in her hand. The seal had been placed. Not missing a beat, Sakura quickly repositioned, moving to kneel before him and opening her mouth wide.

"Cum for me."

Naruto's eyes rolled back as he released his seed all over her and slipped into blackness.

"Wakey, wakey! Have a good sleep?" asked Jiraiya.

Naruto bolted upright and glanced around. Jiraiya was standing over his bed looking mildly amused. Sakura was standing beside him with a concerned look on her face.

"Pervy sage? Sakura-chan?" Naruto began, confused. "What happened?"

"You don't remember?" Sakura answered innocently. "We were getting ramen and you said you were feeling tired so we came back here and you passed out. Jiraiya-sama showed up just now."

Naruto's brows furrowed as he focused.

"Did I really just pass out? I mean....I remember we were going on that date, Sakura-cha-"

"It wasn't a date!" his teammate angrily snapped at him.

Jiraiya chuckled before giving Naruto a knowing wink.

"Don't worry, you'll be a ladies man soon enough. Anyway, we're already behind schedule," the Sanin said. "Are you already packed?"

"Oh, yeah!" the genin exclaimed as he tumbled out of his bed to go grab his bag from the closet. "All ready!"

They quickly made their way to through the village with Sakura tagging along. Shikamaru and Team 10 gave the trio a wave as they passed by. It wasn't long till they were at the village gates.

"I guess this is goodbye for now," Sakura noted, a hint of melancholy in her voice.

Naruto gave her a big smile and a thumbs up.

"Don't worry, I'll be back in no time flat!" he declared.

Naruto turned to head out but Sakura had suddenly closed the distance between them. He felt her lips on his cheek. He froze in place, dumbfounded.

"Don't get the wrong idea," Sakura told her curtly, despite her blush. "That's just for good luck."

"Naruto!" called Jiraiya, already several yards down the road.

The blonde snapped out of his bewildered daze and beamed at Sakura before running after his mentor. Once he caught up, he turned to give Sakura one last wave, which she returned. Once he was out of sight, her warm smile changed to one more mischievous in nature.

It's going to be a long couple years, the kitsune thought to herself. But I got work to do.
