Rest and Surprises

Deciding to take her since he doesn't know the way to the next town, Naruto made his way to the knocked out kunoichi. Grimacing at the damage dealt to her, he quickly extricated her from the tree as gently as possible. He then held her in a bridal carry and silently wondered how she can be so well trained. Taking on last look at the battle damage Naruto then looked at the kunoichi with an impressed look, "To be honest that first punch was just a couple levels down in strength than a punch delivered from me while in Sage Mode. If I didn't decide to tire her out with Shadow clones I'd have to be fighting the entire village forces by now. Only Bushy Brows and Sasuke can rival the level of base speed I'm at now and yet she kept up pretty well."

Naruto then jumped into the forest and made his way south hoping to find a secluded spot or village. A few moments later a three squads of the Elite Task **** of Nadeshiko had arrived by blurring into the ruined battleground. The ETF were an elite **** of kunoichi whose strength goes from upper tier jounin to low anbu captain. Everyone of them were handpicked by their Lady and village leader to serve her and the village. Their missions usually range from tracking, guard detail, escort, sabotage, ****, seduction, and at times executioners. Each squad were consisted of four individuals all wearing black sleeveless battle wear with more visible light armor on the shoulders along with fingerless gloves that run up the forearm with a metal defense plate on the back side of the hand and forearm protectors. Each kunoichi wore lower face masks and had wakizashis strapped to their lower backs. Each scanned the area in a ready position and with silent hand signals, scattered to search for clues.

Finding nothing the squad leaders of each squad signified by a red sigil of a hawk on their shoulder armor convened in a small discussion as their subordinates continued to search for clues. Each of them lowered their face masks as although they are necessary in concealing identity it could be quite itchy at times.

The first was a blue haired woman with milky white skin that seemed incredibly smooth to the touch with no blemishes. Her light blue hair reminded many of a beautiful waterfall as it spread past her shoulders and rested on her taut ass. Her face was set onto a stoic expression as her turquois eyes scanned area seemingly analyzing every scarred surface of the ruined clearing. The kunoichi battlewear she wore highlighted her body as more athletic than voluptuous. Visible armor was located on both shoulders that allows use with full movement. Black gloves that run up to her elbows were covered by dull green forearm protectors. Unlike the rest of her squad she along with the other two squad leaders also wore light chest armor similar to Konoha's ANBU. It not only helped signify their rank along with their sigil, but also added extra precaution. Her C-cup breasts seemed to rise and fall with every breath as her rose tint lips opened up in order to speak, "Saika have your team take three additional squads from our regular forces and focus on creating a tight perimeter between our village and the trading town about 30 miles from here. Make sure to search within 30 miles in every direction around the village, but focus mainly on between us and that town. The anomaly couldn't have gotten far we need to focus on containment and capture. Understood."

"Yes Kimiko it shall be done." the beautiful brunette of the group asked as she turned away to shout out to her own squad to return to the village for reinforcements. Kimiko then turned to the third squad leader, a raven haired woman with fair skin whose hair fell down to her womanly hips in a single ponytail and striking onyx eyes that waited for more orders.

"Hisane. Continue to search for more clues and see if your team could track this thing.", Kimiko ordered until she was interrupted by one of her subordinates using Shushin to blur next to them, "Kimiko-san it seems the guard stationed in this section has disappeared. We found an indention in the tree, but no body."

Kimiko and Hisane both looked at each other before Hisane spoke softly, "Who was the guard stationed?" The subordinate simply replied, "Akane Kumashiji ma'am."

Kimiko and Hisane recognized that name as one of the nominated kunoichi that their Lady favored to join their ranks. Of course, she had to be kidnapped on her last job in the regular forces.

Kimiko's face turned stoic as she emotionlessly stared at the now nervous kunoichi in front of her. She then dismissed the poor girl allowing her to scurry back to help her teammates who were silently laughing at her misfortune.

Kimiko turned back and marched off, followed by a alarmed Hisane who tried to keep pace, "Are you well Kimiko?" The raven haired beauty seemed to hesitate before continuing,".....I know you two we-" "I'm fine Hisane.", Kimiko replied in a cold monotone causing Hisane to wince slightly. Kimiko kept speaking without turning around, "I have to inform our Lady about this development. She will be most displeased with this. I will then return to help in the search after I ensure the village is not defenseless. I trust you will find the perpetrator ,before I arrive to help. Now go."

Hisane nodded before shouting at her squad to be ready to track the suspect. Hisane was stopped by Kimiko's voice, "Hisane.". the mentioned girl turned around only to meet the chilling glare of her comrade who growled out "Find them."

Deeper into the forest

Naruto cursed under his breath as he continued to jump from branch to branch, trying to gain some distance from the enemy kunoichi that were bound to be at the battle site by now. To his frustration not only is he stranded in a new world, he already made a bad impression on the locals by fighting and **** an enemy kunoichi. And the worst part is-

"Kurama!!! Are you okay! Why aren't you answering!?", a extremely worried Naruto asked internally. He knew the Yang Kurama in the past might at least yell back at him for being annoying, but Yin Kurama seemed to be much more patient with him and ****. Yet there was no response and for some reason he could not enter his mindscape which doub-no tripled his frustration and worry for his friend. Sighing to himself Naruto briefly glanced at the still **** kunoichi in his arms. His eyes roamed over her numerous wounds she received when fighting his shadow clones.

Letting out a small huff Naruto found a spot underneath some tree roots of a giant tree where he could settle down. Landing in front of it in a crouch Naruto, gave a quick glance to check his surroundings. The tree had a large space underneath the base several meters below ground. Its strong roots seemed to be a natural defense as there was only one opening large enough to fit a human. The rest of it were almost peek holes that allowed sunlight to stream through. The floor was mainly just dirt with patches of grass in spots that get the most sunlight. Finding nothing out of place Naruto shifted his hold on the kunoichi and stood up ,before walking into his newly found shelter. Gently placing the kunoichi down near the entrance, Naruto got to work.

First he created five shadow clones and instructed two of them to make the shelter more defendable, while the other three are to place traps a kilometer around their base. The clones then saluted and rushed off to work leaving Naruto with the **** woman. He then rolled up his left sleeve that hid a summoning tattoo and sent chakra to it. In a poof a smoke a red scroll appear in his hand. Naruto then crouched down and unfurled the scroll along the ground. In the scroll were five spots that read from left to right; Camp Supplies, Food, Weapons, Clothes, and Legacy. This was something that Jiraiya and Kakashi-sensei suggested when going out on long-term missions. Thanks to Jiraiya during the two year training Naruto learned quite a bit of fuinjutsu from him to make his own storage seals.

Naruto moved his right hand over the supply section and sent in chakra. In another poof, a green sleeping bag, cooking supplies, a reinforced tarp set, an set of pillows and blanket, a small shovel, and a small soft blue rug for comfort appeared about the size of a king size bed. Though Kakashi-sensei accepted the extra pillow and blanket as it was just in case a teammate needed Naruto's sleeping bag, he did admonish Naruto for carrying around the rug saying that a ninja can't always have comfort and asking why Naruto brought it in the first place.

Naruto (who did not know the author was controlling his thoughts and actions to make him buy this for convenience later on in the story) in response to that question simply shrugged and responded, "I got it for a really great deal and I sure as hell am gonna use it."

Coming back from memory lane Naruto laid out the carpet which was large enough to for three people to sleep comfortably. He then set out the pillows before grabbing the kunoichi and setting her against it gently. He then noticed some of the tension on her face seemed to be relieved as her body was set on something comfortable. Naruto then stood up and transformed into Six Paths Sage Mode. Casting out his right hand with the sun mark over her chest he got to work. The wounds on her person healed quickly until none were left. Her face seemed to completely relax as she snuggled into the pillows. Panting Naruto dropped his form and collapsed to his knees, knowing that without Kurama's cooperation his body faces more physical strain when attempting that.

Naruto then moved over to cover her body with the blanket that had heats seals underneath to keep it pleasantly warm at all times. He idly watched in amusement as she rolled into a blanket burrito before giving out a soft moan in satisfaction. Feeling incredibly sleepy he idly noticed that his shadow clones popped, letting him know that the traps and defenses have been set, before the events of the day caught up to him making him fall into a slumber.

Later

Naruto woke up feeling a light tapping on his face causing him to scrunch up his own in annoyance. He thought he could distantly hear muffled laughter and something that faintly sounded like 'cute'. His consciousness started to surface a couple seconds afterwards, allowing his senses to slowly come back. Blinking his eyes rapidly to clear up the dark spots in his vision Naruto then started to hear something crackle in the background fully alerting him as his eyes shot wide open and searched for hostiles only to meet the curious darkly colored eyes of his captive.

The two stared at each other, one pair of eyes in surprise and apprehension and the other pair in curiosity, amusement, and a hint of lust. Naruto tried his hardest to recall the kunoichi's name from his still partially foggy mind. He then remembered her name was Akane and opened his mouth to address her until-

The kunoichi, Akane's face seemed to brighten at his awakening with such a sure beautiful smile that Naruto couldn't help ,but blush. "I'm so glad your awake!!! I thought you would be out forever the way you were sleeping!! I hope you had a good rest. Thank you for taking care of me." Naruto just stared at her, weirded out a bit by her behavior around him, when hours ago she was ready to take him in by ****.

"Uuuhhh...look Akane right? I don't know where I am and I'm pretty sure your village is hunting us down right now. So I don't know if your playing me or what ,but I need to leave now that your fine." Naruto stood up while glaring down at Akane who was still kneeling, staring into his eyes inquisitively. "So in return for healing you, why don't you go back to your village an-" "I can't husband.", she interrupted with a straight face.

There was silence in the hideout for a minute as Naruto tried to process what had been said to him with a blank face. Naruto then took his right pinky and inserted it into his right ear trying to clear out the wax to hear better and saying, "I'm sorry there must be wax in my ear. What did you just call me!"

Akane seemed undeterred a large smile reappeared on her face with an impressively cute blush. Naruto almost felt like if she had a tail it would be wagging right now in excitement. "My husband. As you have fought a Nadeshiko kunoichi and won, you have also won the right to marry and have lots and lots and.....lots of sex with that woman.", she said emphasizing the words lots and sex. Naruto gulped audibly and internally groaned at dealing with another Nadeshiko kunoichi. The first one while extremely hot, had also hated his guts for awhile. Both of them formed a small bond over the fact each one's heart belonged to another.

Naruto had to admit that she wasn't bad looking at all. In fact she is quite attractive in his eyes, yet it still seems to early.
