Chapter 153 - The Housewife's Display

My hand splayed wide, fingers splayed wide and claiming, squeezing the soft flesh of the housewife’s exposed pale rear.

It wasn’t the firm, deceptive steel of a kunoichi, nor the tight, a...

Chapter 152 - Phase Two

SAKURA HARUNO

Sakura's brain was already running too fast when Sensei shoved her into the closet.

Her anger bubbled up first. Who did he think he was, just shoving her ...

Chapter 151 - Advanced Breathing Techniques

Using the Devil's Whisper to grease the wheels of her compliance didn't lower the satisfaction of the result. Not really. If anything, watching her rationalize the insane made the victory sweeter. ...

Chapter 150 - Softening the Steel

A/N: It seems Sakura's chapters are just as long, if not longer than Ino's, hmm.

— — — — — — — — — — — —

Some often used the words 'inn' ...

Chapter 149 - Unfair Advantages

A/N: Here 4k work on Sakura. I thought about splitting it out, but the slower pace will be even slower. So hey, enjoy!

Chapter 148 - The Art of Self-Deception

I didn't break the physical contact. I wasn't wasteful, and I certainly wasn't going to pull away when a girl like Sakura was practically vibrating with the need for a stabilizing force. Whatever s...

Chapter 147 - Devotion on a Faultline

The third member of the original Team Seven wasn't alone. He had four other people with him. A posse of sidekicks and extras, really. All wearing the stiff, high-collared uniforms of the Konoha Mil...

Chapter 146 - Fate's Ironic Consolation

I stepped out of the Hokage's tower in a mood fouler than week-old milk, and the substantial mission pay sitting pretty in my pocket did fuck-all to improve it.

Sure, they'd bumped our cluste...

Chapter 145 - Assume the Worst

MINATO NAMIKAZE

"Yo!" Sensei announced, straightening up with a grin that was equal parts mischievous and sheepish. "You know, the acoustics in those ceiling panels are terri...

Chapter 144 - Following the Feather

MINATO NAMIKAZE

The door closed behind Eishin Sasayki with a soft click that echoed louder than it should have in the suddenly silent room.

Minato remained still in his...

Chapter 143 - Troublesome Questions

Without Naruto's kinetic energy bouncing off the walls, without the genin nervously shifting and radiating barely-contained anxiety, the room settled into a calmer atmosphere. Someone might mistake...

Chapter 142 - Catalog of Holes

I hadn't known what had happened outside my Frozen Domain that day. I'd been too busy holding back a squad of Kiri Anbu, keeping them contained while Naruto dealt with Zabuza in whatever chaotic, i...

Chapter 141 - Will of Fire, Earthy Interpretation

The scrolls barely got a glance.

Minato smiled, "Thank you, Kakashi." He nodded at the jōnin.

Kakashi dipped his head slightly. "Just doing my part, Hokage-sama."

Minato's atte...

Chapter 140 - The Chamber of Judgment

The room was just as I remembered it. Big, unnecessarily so. That happens when they have space to waste and want you to feel small about it. Mostly empty, too. Probably by design. A used and reused...

Chapter 139 - A Really Chill Puddle

The courtyard was quiet, save for the soft rustling of leaves in the crisp breeze. It was one of those deceptively peaceful days in Konoha. The sun was high enough to cast long shadows across the t...

Chapter 138 - Rehabilitation of a Shinobi

A/N: Phew.... almost didn't make it.

— — — — — — — — —

I lingered in front of the door a little bit longer than necessary. The wooden frame still fel...

Chapter 137 - A Known Variable

ITACHI UCHIHA

Itachi landed on the branch without sound. The bark held beneath his weight. He steadied his breathing, kept his hands loose at his sides. The genjutsu's residu...

Chapter 136 - A Calculated Sacrifice

I'd known from the start that the paper seal on my forehead wouldn't do much against Itachi.

It was a nameless invention I'd cobbled together years ago, back when I was still new to this worl...

Chapter 135 - A Fight for a Girl

Clone feedback was always a bitch. The memories slammed like a fist to the temple.

I was used by now of the dizzying rush of information flooding my brain all at once. Like trying to download...

Chapter 134 - Unfunny Punchline

I wanted to laugh, but it stuck in my throat like a bone.

The rooftops bristled with them. Masks like pale ghosts perched on every tile edge, shadows spilling down the walls like ink from a k...

Chapter 133 - Twin Statues

Itachi Uchiha stood in the middle of the empty street like he'd been carved there.

He wore a dark blue high-collar shirt, one of those the Uchiha clan seemed to favor, like they all shopped a...

Chapter 132 - Selfish Hope

TSUNAMI

The bucket handle bit into Tsunami's palm as she hauled water from the well. Third trip this morning. The washboard waited by the back step, and the pile of laundry w...

Chapter 131 - A Meeting in the Twilight

Tomoe began her sales pitch in earnest.

"Shinobi tend to live, work, and die alone, but having backers changes everything," she said, her voice taking on the practiced cadence of someone who'...

Chapter 130 - A Cliche Wisdom Lesson

I'd known for a while that killing a Kage wasn't like putting down some rogue ninja or enemy jonin.

All the Kage were listed in every village's Bingo Book. Minato was in Iwa's, Kumo's, Kiri'...

Chapter 129 - Cup of Tea

I hadn't expected the sweet old lady who used to slip me konpeitō to live in a place like this.

The room was traditional, properly traditional. Tatami mats worn smooth, stretched wall to wal...

Chapter 128 - The Curtain and the Mirror

NORIKO YAMANAKA

The door clicked shut behind him.

Noriko stood perfectly still for three heartbeats — one to verify he was truly gone, two to ensure he wouldn't retur...

Chapter 127 - Konoha’s Roofs

I stepped out, or rather fled, from the flower shop with a bunch of odd and conflicting feelings, and honestly, I wasn’t in the mood to make sense of them. The taste of Yamanaka flowers was still...

Chapter 126 - Flowers on the Floor

My mind raced as I turned to look at the door where the source of that cough stood.

I had talked a big game, it occurred to me, not caring about consequences. Going with the flow and where it...

Chapter 125 - Watering the Flower

A/N: Another 4k, what can I say? I just love Ino.

— — — — — — — — —

I caught the intoxicated and blissfully drunk girl’s chin, tryi...

Chapter 124 - Petals and Discipline

Author’s Note:
This chapter’s longer than usual (4.7k). It just kind of happened? I'm running into an opposite problem with Ino than with Kushina. I was going to split it, b...
