Hey, I'm back with Chapter 9! Sorry for the late update. Hopefully you guys haven't given up on me yet!

Disclaimer: Hinata-chan may have my heart, but I will never own Naruto

Chapter 9: Tension

In Demon Country, a white-haired priestess lay in bed, violently squirming about and letting out small moans. Outside her room, her bodyguards rolled their eyes. It looked as if Shion-sama was having another one of those dreams again.

After letting out an ear-splitting scream tore through the afternoon atmosphere, Shion sat straight up in bed, sweat pouring from her delicate forehead. She looked down at her soaked bed and sighed. It looked as if her maid would have to change her sheets again. She looked out of her room with unfocused eyes.

'These dreams must be telling me something about what the future holds.'

She removed her sleepwear and stared at her shapely figure in the mirror before giggling and blushing.

'Soon, Naruto-kun. Soon I'll have you keep your promise to me. After all, that's your nindo, right? I think it's about time I take a visit to Konoha.'

Outside her room, her bodyguards felt a chill run up their spines. Their charge had an idea, and it would mean more work for them. A collective thought passed through the group.

'How troublesome.'

Back in Konoha, Shikamaru was lying about on the grass, staring at the clouds when he let out a tremendous sneeze. Unfortunately for the lazy genius, his favorite nap spot happened to be right next to a popular swimming pond—one that was currently occupied by several scantily-clad kunoichi. Alerted to his presence, the women proceeded to mercilessly beat him down.

After the indignant kunoichi stalked off, Shikamaru lay there, bloody and bruised, with one thought running through his mind:

'Troublesome women.'

When Tora first attacked Naruto and engaged him in a passionate make-out session, the former Jinchuuriki's brain shut down momentarily. He was brought back to reality as he felt Tora eagerly licking his lips, begging for entrance. As he mechanically opened his mouth, his mind worked furiously, trying to figure out what was happening.

'What the hell is going on? She's always been violent and rude, albeit somewhat clingy.'

He broke away from the brunette and stared into her eyes.

"Uhh, Tora? Are you feeling alright? Why are you doing this?"

Tora was silent for a moment, but before Naruto could repeat his question, she spoke up in a surprisingly quiet voice.

"Why do you think I'm doing this?"

Naruto was caught flatfooted at this demure Tora. Her fiery allure was replaced by a gentler, softer beauty that made Naruto's breath hitch in his throat.

'Wow… she's gorgeous…'

Tora blushed under Naruto's stare, but not from embarrassment. Balling her fist, she punched Naruto in the stomach before running away, shouting over her shoulder.

"Naruto , you fucking asshole! What the hell is your problem, shitface?"

Naruto fell to the ground, gasping for breath. As he tried to recover, he heard a sultry voice whisper in the air.

"Namikaze-sama, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Naruto turned to see a group of five women giggling and waving in his direction. While they were all attractive women, something about them seemed rather odd, as if something was slightly wrong with them.

'There's something strange about these five, but I can't quite put my finger on it.'

"Sensei! There is something strange about this situation here. There are five beautiful women here, but my pervert senses are barely tingling."

"Indeed, my dear Jiraiya-kun. There is something strange about this situation, but I can't put my finger on it."

"Yeah man, I can't quite get a lock on their scent. Akamaru says he's having trouble as well. Man, this sucks.

"Don't worry about it too much, Kiba-kun. Your nose will prove necessary to the realization of our goals. However, perhaps this is an opportunity for our newest member to prove his worth."

"Indeed, I shall show that fate has ordained that I will be the one to uncover this mystery. These women must know their place before the power of the Byakugan."

Jiraiya, Kyuubi and Kiba waited while Neji inspected the group of women with his Byakugan. After a moment, Neji turned to the eagerly waiting group and smirked.

"It appears that it is Naruto's fate to be surrounded by men disguised as women. We should retreat now before it is too late for us."

"But Neji, what about my dear former apprentice?"

"Neji-kun is right, Jiraiya-kun. There is nothing we can do to help Naruto. The brat's survival all depends on if his perversion powers are strong enough to allow him to break through the disguise of these gay men."

With that, Team Hentai headed off in the direction of the ANBU headquarters to peek on the female changing room.

Meanwhile, Naruto was still trying to determine the identity of the mysterious women.

'Let's see… they're wearing black kimonos with red clouds… one of them has the Sharingan… wait a second, I thought Itachi went loco and killed all of the Uchiha… well, I have no idea who they are, so-'

Naruto was jarred from his thoughts when a familiar voice piped up.

"Hey there, Uchiha babe… why don't you and I do the nasty to restore our clan right now?"

"Sasuke-teme! Where the hell did you come from?"

"Hn? I've been here all this time, dobe. Anyways, you're annoying me, so go away."

' Oh, Naru-kun, I'm sorry that things cannot work between the two of us, but I have found someone else. You must learn to move on like I have. Wait a second… what the hell am I thinking?'

Naruto ignored the uneasy feeling that settled in his spine as he watched the female Uchiha stare at Sasuke in shock and horror.

"Sasuke? What the hell is wrong with you? It doesn't really surprise me that you're gay, but you're an incest freak as well? I thought father and I taught you better than that."

"Huh?"

"Oh, fuck me sideways…"

Before Sasuke could comply with the request, there were four loud poofs, and the Akatsuki members were once again revealed in all of their glory. Sasuke stared at Itachi with a mix of horror and hatred.

"You! What did you do with that vision of Uchiha loveliness?"

"Uhh, Sasuke… that was me in a jutsu."

"You lie! Now tell me, what did you do with the Uchiha woman?"

"Are you stupid?"

Sasuke inwardly screamed in frustration. Why the hell was his stupid brother always getting in his way, first by being the 'better' one, then by killing their parents, and now by stealing away the love of his life? Sasuke was about to challenge Itachi to a fight when he remembered the other Akatsuki members with Itachi. They might be troublesome and try to interfere with the fight, not that it would bother Sasuke too much, but one of them might accidentally hurt Itachi, which would lessen the glory of his victory.

Thus, with a final smirk, Sasuke shushined back to the Uchiha compound.

Following the departure of Sasuke, the Akatsuki members looked at one another quizzically. The seal wasn't supposed to wear off so easily. Maybe something was wrong with the design. They'd have to ask Leader about that later. They looked over at the still female Zetsu, who was snarling at the blank-faced Naruto.

"Alright, let's fall back. Our mission has failed."

"Okay, but Zetsu, why are you still a woman?"

Zetsu threw a withering glare back at Kisame before sinking down into the shadows. As the others followed suit, Naruto heard Sasori whisper to Itachi.

"It looks like Deidara is still a woman as well…"

Naruto shrugged his shoulders and headed back towards his new compound. Things were getting stranger and stranger. Hopefully, he'd be able to reach his house without anything else happening. He needed a good dose of Ino-hime to recover from the stresses that had built up. Still, he couldn't shake the feeling that something terrible was about to happen.

"YOSH! IF IT ISN'T THE YOUTHFUL NARUTO-KUN!"

Naruto facepalmed and continued to walk towards his house. Hopefully they would get the hint and leave.

"OHH! HIS HIPNESS IS TOO MUCH FOR ME, GAI-SENSEI!"

Guess not.

"He's pretty hot…"

"Indeed, it is as my daughters have said. The son of Minato truly is full of youthful vigor."

'What the hell?'

Naruto turned to face a quartet of green-clad shinobi. Gai and Lee were no surprise, but Naruto nearly choked on his spit when he saw Sai and Hiashi standing, sporting bowl cuts and large, gleaming smiles. Both were also sporting the Green Beast spandex, although the ankle weights were replaced by leg warmers. Hiashi spoke up.

"Ah, Namikaze-san. I take it that you are surprised by our appearances. I assure you that we mean no harm here. Indeed, we were hoping that you would come join our cause. My most unyouthful nephew has decided to fraternize with a group of most unyouthful shinobi. I have taken up arms with Gai-san in order to return Neji back to the Hyuuga ways. If the eyes of the Hyuuga were to fall into the hands of the powers of perversion, the dignity of the Hyuuga clan would be lost forever."

Naruto nodded, not really understanding what the Hyuuga clan head was saying. In fact, most of his mental faculties were offline, thanks to the actions of the Green Beasts. Finally, his self-preservation instincts kicked in, and he activated the Hirashin before anything else could happen, leaving a still-ranting Hiashi in his wake.

Naruto arrived at his compound in a brilliant white flash with a sigh of relief. Finally he could get some rest. Or maybe Ino could comfort him. Naruto giggled as he thought of exactly how Ino could comfort him. He opened the door and stepped in with a smile on his face.

"NARUTO!"

'What's Ino doing here? Ahh, maybe she was waiting for me here so that she can give me some love. Oh man, I can't wait. Ino-chan, here I come!' 

Naruto rushed towards Ino with his arms outstretched, only to crash face-first into Ino's fist. Naruto flew backwards from the force of the blow and looked at Ino with tears in his eyes.

"Ino-chan?"

"Naruto… why?"

"Huh?"

"Why are you so popular with everyone?"

"Ino… you aren't making any sense."

Flashback

Tsunade sat in her office, trying to stave off the newest headache, thanks indirectly to Naruto. She held three letters in her hand. One by one, the summoned kunoichi trickled into the room. Finally, after Anko slithered in with a stick of Dango in hand, Tsunade cleared her throat to get everyone's attention.

"Okay, I'm just going to get this out of the way, because I know things will get worse if I put this off any longer. I know that many of you are interested in Namikaze Naruto."

At this, many of the kunoichi blushed various shades of red. Tsunade ignored the love-struck kunoichi and continued as if she didn't notice.

"I have in my hand letters from three princesses: Haruna from the Greenery Country, Toki from Bird Country and Yukie from Spring Country. Each of them have expressed a great interest in visiting Konoha. I took a look into their previous involvement with Konoha, and guess what? Namikaze Naruto just happened to be on the escort squad for each of the three princesses. The reports from each of the missions all state that the princesses have all shown great interest in Naruto."

The kunoichi shuffled their feet nervously. They could compete against fellow kunoichi, but fighting over a man with royalty was simply asking for suicide. They'd have to think of a new strategy if Haruna, Toki and Yukie were seriously after their blond heartthrob.

Tsunade smirked at the uncomfortable squirms from the kunoichi.

"Well, I suppose I don't have to tell you what that means. I expect you all to behave with decorum in a way that will not strain our relations with any of the countries that the princesses come from. Oh, and they should be arriving later today, so I expect you all to be on your best behavior, or else I'll have you all cleaning out the Inuzaka dog compound. I heard that Inuzaka Kiba has taken apprenticeship with Jiraiya…"

End Flashback

"So I guess this is it, Naruto? The time we spent together was short, but nice. Even when you're with those three dream princesses, don't forget me. Alright, Naruto?"

"…"

Ino turned towards the door and began to head out, but Naruto's voice stopped her in her tracks.

"Baka… Did you think that I'm going to let you go, just like that? Ino, you're a princess in my world. You have shown me a kindness that I can never repay. I want you to stay by my side forever, Ino-chan."

With tears in her eyes, Ino leapt into Naruto's arms. The anxiety that had built up in her stomach over the past few hours was gone. Ino eagerly sought out Naruto's lips with her own, and soon the two young blonds were kissing one another with fiery passion. Ino was so caught up in Naruto's ministrations that she didn't notice Naruto pick her up and carry her to the bedroom.

After four hours of noisy, raunchy sex, Ino stumbled out of the Namikaze Compound limping slightly, but wearing a large shit-eating grin. It didn't matter that the princesses were coming. Hell, maybe Naruto would let her join in now and then for some more fun.

Inside the compound, Naruto lay in bed, exhausted when he spotted a scroll on the nightstand. It's contents were simple:

Brat,

Come to my office right away.

Tsunade

When he got there, an irate Tsunade scowled at him.

"Alright brat, I have a mission for you. Three princesses from various countries have decided to visit Konoha. It's your job to protect and escort them during their visit here."

"So Yukie-hime, Haruna-hime and Toki-hime are all coming to visit, huh? I can't wait to see them!"

"Ino's told you about it then, I'm guessing."

Tsunade glanced into her crystal ball and smirked.

"Well, it looks like all three of them are gathered at the village gate. Why don't you go down them and greet them."

As Naruto walked out of the office, he heard Tsunade call out to him.

"Remember to use protection, Naru-chan. The idea of having little Narutos run around Konoha is scary enough. We don't want the same thing happening everywhere else."

Naruto tripped on his feet and fell to the ground, blushing.

Meanwhile, Yugito and Killer Bee were still on the path towards Konoha. Yugito was doing her best to control her temper and not maim her traveling companion.

"Hey Yugito, I have a new rap for you."

"Don't want to hear it."

"Here goes:

Yo my name's Killer Bee

I'm a shinobi as ya can plainly see

This is a challenge to you from me

But first, let's take a break, cuz I need ta p-"

Yugito's knee to the groin cut off Killer Bee could he finish the rap.
