Groans filled the steamy area. Old, that was the only word Naruto could use to describe how he felt after dealing with the council, and immediately leaving to study Kumo's traditions, and customs. The only reason he had stopped, and left the clones to do all the work. Was because he still had dinner with Tsume, and Inochi. "Fuck. If Tsume, and Inochi haven't told their daughters about this whole situation, then I'll probably die of a migraine. And that will be from just Ino. I have no idea what Hana is like, but if she's anything like Kiba." Naruto shivered slightly, before relaxing. "At least the sex will be nice." Naruto thought.

"Though with the way Tsume was eyeing me like a butter kissed steak. I think she might want to amend the marriage contract." It wasn't a uncommon practice for clans to amend marriage contracts, so long as the woman offered was of equal or greater value than the one originally offered. Naruto himself was of no mind to refuse the milf that was Tsume Inuzuka.

Stepping from the bath, Naruto ran his calloused fingers through his hair. Before reaching for his towel. The soft cotton feeling almost silk like against his skin. He wished he could stay in the water a bit longer, but there was work to be done, and allies to hopefully be made.

After searching his wardrobe, Naruto settled on a pair of black jeans, and tight purple t shirt. Entering the front room. Naruto found Mikoto serving tea to Tsunade, and Kushina. "So ladies how do I look?" Naruto asked as he did a small turn for them.

The girls gave off a chorus of whistles, while Kushina herself stood up, and kissed his cheek, her small toned arms wrapped around his much larger muscular ones. "You look amazing my love. I'm sure You'll drive those three girls crazy when you show up."

A smile graced Naruto's lips as he kissed his woman's lips. "Thank you my dear. Your seal of approval is all the confidence I need to take on the world."

A smirk formed on Kushina's lips as she pecked his cheek. "Go knock em dead my King. Just save some energy for when you get home. You still have to show your best girl what all that demon training did for you. If it's anything like what Tsunade described. I don't think I'll be doing missions for at least a week afterwards." Her voice was dripping with lust, as she whispered in his ear.

A shake of the head was all Naruto could think to give, as he made his leave. The Inuzuka compound was not far, but he wanted to make a stop for a party favor. He knew Tsume wasn't one for extravagance, but he wanted to bring something nice anyway.

Arriving at the compound, Naruto was greeted by a very annoyed Kiba. "Hello Kiba, its been a while since I've seen you."

"Cut the crap Naruto. Mom just told Hana, and I about the marriage contract. Why didn't you tell me when you found out?"

"Simple, I only found out shortly after graduation. By then I had to leave for a training trip, and a mission right after. I wanted to speak with all of you at once."

Kiba let out a small sight, as he looked at Naruto. "No matter how tall or ripped you get. Those eyes never change. I know you'll be good to her, but if you hurt her. I don't care who trained you, or how strong you become. I will hunt you down, and I will castrate you with a rusty kunai."

Naruto allowed himself to smile, as he shook Kiba's hand. "I'd give you a lobotomy via soup spoon if you didn't." Naruto joked lightly as he, and Kiba walked into the compound.

Floored was the only expression Hana, and Ino could muster when Naruto walked into the living room. "Uh Kiba I thought we were having a dinner thing. Who's your friend?" Ino asked as she eyed the male in front of her. She had to admit, there weren't many buff shinobi, but this man made it work for him.

Kiba smirked as he shot Naruto a 'this is gonna be good' look. "Ino it hasn't been that long since the academy. It's rude to pretend like you don't recognize our old friend Naruto."

Ino's jaw dropped so quickly, Kiba swore he could hear the floor crack. She then turned a shade of red that would make Kushina, and Karui's hair look like Sakura's by comparison. "Very funny Naruto, Now drop the Henge!" Ino yelled in embarrassment.

"Actually Ino this isn't a jutsu at all. I spent time training with my summons. Time flows differently in their realm. Hence the reason why I appear as I would in my prime in this dimension."

Ino looked around the room wondering how it was that no one else seemed surprised. "Am I the only one who's even mildly surprised by this?"

Inochi sighed, and shook his head. "Ino, sweetheart. In the world we live in. There's a swordsman in Kiri who is part shark. The Kazakage can control gold, and there are nine shinobi spread across the world who house powerful demons of Hell. The wow factor wears off very quickly."

Ino sighed in defeat, as Naruto presented Tsume with the bottle of wine, and the group took their seats around the table. "So Naruto, as you, and now the others know. We have a marriage contract between you, and our daughters. However Hana understandably has her reservations about the marriage, and has enacted a old clan law of ours."

Naruto sipped his drink casually as he surveyed the others at the table discretely. "And what law might that be Tsume." His eyes secretly scanned over Hana's form. Her athletic built body, and C cup breast if his incubi sense was working correctly. Was all packed into a long sleeved white compression shirt, and her wide 36 inch hips were packed into a pair of black yoga pants.

"It's a law stating she may challenge her suitor to determine his worth. It was a law we made years ago incase a marriage contract was ever made outside of the pack. It is basically a insurance policy to ensure you're worthy of my daughter."

Naruto scanned Tsume's poster with scrutinizing gaze. She seemed nervous. While her time as a Kunoichi and as a member of the Shinobi council had given her a astounding poker face. Naruto could still tell by the way her right thigh repeatedly flexed, and relaxed. That something was wrong with her. "I take it there is a gambit involved in this somehow."

"There is. If Hana loses the fight you will be awarded two mates instead of one. I myself volunteered to be the second mate if you are victorious."

Naruto looked at Hana who had a look of determination in her eyes. "I'll accept your challenge Hana. How does nine tomorrow morning sound to you?"

Hana looked a little taken back. She hadn't expected Naruto to accept the challenge. She had also heard that he was very bright tactically. So it vexed her as to why he would rush into a battle with little to no time to prepare. "That sounds perfect Naruto-kun. Though how about a little bet to make things a little more interesting?"

Naruto folded his arms as he fixed his gaze on Hana's face. He was surprised that unlike her brother, and mother she had normal pupils, and not the silted one common among her clan. "You have my attention Hana."

"My deal is that the winner of our little fight becomes the loser's Alpha. Meaning if you win, you will become my Dom. If I win however, you will not become my husband. Instead you will become my 'cuckold' I believe is the term they use in Suna."

"I'm familiar with the term. You should know that the last girl to attempt such a thing, is now crawling around my home with a tail plug shoved in her ass." Naruto said with no change in his expression.

Hana felt a bit unnerved at the statement, but was resolved to win her freedom none the less. If she managed to get herself a cute slave boy in the process that was a bonus. "So does that mean you agree to my terms Naruto?"

"Yes I believe your terms are acceptable Hana. Though I must warn you. If you don't come at me with the intent to kill. You might not survive our contest."

The two stared each other down, in a electrifying tenseness before Tsume's voice broke the silence. "The both of you should settle down, and eat. Because if the dinner I worked so hard on gets cold over this lovers spat." She looked at them with a sickly sweet smile only a mother could muster. "Because if this dinner I worked so hard to make gets cold because of you. Neither of you will make it to see tomorrow."

The two quickly thanked Tsume for the food, and began eating. "Hope she's got that kind of ferocity in the bedroom." Naruto mumbled to himself as he ate.

"Win tomorrow, and you'll find out." Tsume smirked as she ate. Naruto nearly choked on his food as he picked up her whisper. 'Forgot moms have super hearing.' He thought to himself as he focused on his food.

The rest of the night was much less lively. Both Hana, and Ino were adamantly against the marriage, but Hana was at least content to let the matter resolve itself in the morning. Ino on the other hand was very vocal in defying him until he proved himself as at least a viable boyfriend first. Naruto had been happy to agree to the request, and the two of them had set a date for the following Saturday.

The following morning, Naruto dressed in a black dry fit sleeveless shirt, and cargo pants for his 'date' with Hana. "Remember Naruto she's your fiancé. Do not kill her." He reminded himself as he looked over his gear for the fight. Luckily it wasn't like his last duel. This time it was in private, at the Inuzuka compound. The only people attending would be Tsume, Kiba, his team, and Ino. The others had already gone ahead in order to give Naruto private time to prepare. "Wish someone would have taken care of my morning wood first." Naruto grumbled as he placed his sword on his hip.

Arriving at the battle sight, which was actually just one of the Inuzuka training grounds. Naruto found the spectators standing off to the side, with Hana standing on the opposite side of the field.

"Alright you two lets get this show on the road." Tsume said as she held her hand in the air. "Begin!"

Yes short chapter, but for the forseeable future I am living in my truck with a hotel stay once or twice a week. I'm hoping by the third to have a pop up camper or mid month a apartment. My laptop has no battery so I can only write on hotel days. But it shouldn't last to long. For anyone doubting if this story making it to the longest piece of literature, go read the current holder the subspace emmisary's world conquest. A super smash bros fanfic on this sight.
