Chapter Four: His and Her Bright Future.

000000000000000000

Naruto woke awaken to the warm touch of soft flesh on his skin. He looked down and saw a nude Hinata who was embracing an equally nude blonde Jounin. The man concluded that he had passed out on top of her and the soft feeling of her entire body pressing up on him solidified his conclusion. Their clothes were tossed everywhere and even the bandages that kept Naruto together was torn asunder by the grip of Hinata. The man blushed as he looked at the sleeping beauty under him. He had concluded that she had a very lusty side under all that regal Hyuuga Queen image.

Still... I would never expect to wake up and see us like this... Perhaps dreams do come true...

The man could barely recount the passionate and very lewd encounter they had last night but the fact that they were... Physically connect for a lack of better words... Had the blonde Jounin in an extremely happy mood. Naruto couldn't help but stroke the raven haired woman's soft, silky hair. It shone like an forest of raven sapphire silk and looked like they belong in an masterpiece of art. The Jounin fought the urge to harden within the sleeping Hyuuga with little no success as he appreciated her body. He desperately wanted to enjoy the warm embrace but his little Gennin was waking up and causing the peacefully asleep woman to stir.

"Nnngh..?" moaned the Hyuuga in soft pleasure as the sensation of something stirring her in her lower self pulled her from her sweet dreams.

Naruto cursed silently as he tried not to focus on the delicious pleasure Hinata was unconsciously giving him.

"Anngh..." cried the Hinata with her soft, cute voice as her eyes fluttered.

D-Don't wake up like t-that..! S-Shit!

The man felt his erection harden fully and saw it jolt the beautiful woman in his arms. The Hyuuga queen subconsciously contracted her inner muscles and cause Naruto's member twitch excitedly. She was squeezing him without realization and it set his senses on fire once more. The man tried to move but the burning sensation caused him to regret the decision.

"Ah!" cried Hinata as her eyes finally opened.

Her ecstatic expression was the final straw and the man dove down and kissed the woman passionately.

N-Naruto..? W-What..? Nnnngh! N-no... D-Don't make love to me now... I-I... A-Ah..! I-I'm s-still-ah..!

Hinata wrapped her legs around his body as he filled her to the brim once more. She couldn't believe that her Naruto was pounding away her consciousness once more. She had always dreamed of being ravaged by the man of her heart but dreaming was one thing and actually participating in the lustful action of sex was another.

N-Naruto... S-Stop... I-I'm c-cumming!

Hinata's body jerked in extreme pleasure as she screamed into his lewd kiss. Her actions only caused him to do her harder. Every thrust rocked her senses to her core and the fact that her sensitivity was increasing by each thrust did not help sooth the raging thunder storm that was her lust filled mind.

H-His tongue... I-I can-ah! I-It-ah! I-Its t-too mu-ah!

She felt her tongue extend into his mouth as her eyes reached the roof of her vision. Everything was setting her mind in a hot storm of lust. The way he licked up her drool, the way her breast smashed into his tone chest, the way her body jumped into his combat harden form, the way her lower self squeezed his burning penis.

I-I'm cumming again... N-Naruuutoooo...!

The Hyuuga screamed in ecstasy once more as she felt the familiar hot sensation flow into her. Both Jounins panted as their bodies collapsed into one.

"N-Naruto..." moaned Hinata as she felt him slip out of her.

"M-Morning H-Hime-chan. How are you this fine, beautiful morning?" asked her blonde idiot with his signature smile.

Hinata's face flushed as she rode off her dual orgasms. Naruto smiled as he embraced her lovingly. The blonde watched in silent joy as she affectionately snuggled in embarrassment into his embrace as they both laid comfortably into his hospital bed. The pair enjoyed the loving gesture of purity they shared with each other after a moment of blazing passion. Memories of tough times flashed through their minds as the two were grateful that their love had eased their pain away. They both dreamed of embracing each other like this and the reality of intimacy silenced them with wonderful feelings of satisfaction.

"You know, I remember a girl I met for the first time twenty years ago. She was wearing the most adorable and pretty kimono but there was these three idiots that was picking on her."

"I remember a rough hero wearing a white shirt that saved me valiantly."

"Saved you? I recalled getting my ass handed to me." said the man with another goofy grin.

Hinata traced her finger against his toned chest as she recalled the scene in her excellent memory. Naruto smiled again as he felt her fingers on his chest. She was leaving ripples of emotions behind every trace that set his heart a flutter.

I can get used to this... Didn't expect her to love cuddling so much... She was always so... Royal. Then again, she has never experienced the touch of another man and she had always loved me... Thank you three stooges. If you guys hadn't picked on the right girl, I would never be here now and I would have never deflowered such a pretty and gentle Hime-chan.

A sense of danger arose in the back of Naruto's head as he enjoy the warm afterglow of intense passion.

Well, as gentle and kind a goddess of destruction can be... She did put me in here after all...

The blonde Jounin fought his increasingly awkward train of thought that lead him into a vision of a possible future where the Hyuuga princess locked him up in her dungeon and kept him there.

"Why did you save me?" she asked after an eternity of silence.

Naruto blinked a couple of times as the question brought him out of his increasingly unrealistic fantasies. The man smiled as he looked down at the curious expression his gentle Hime-chan was giving him.

"I didn't like people picking on pretty things. You reminded me of a pretty flower I liked and someone trampled it. I got mad and yelled at him but he sneered at me and kicked me in the stomach. It was the first ass kicking I received." replied Naruto without hesitation.

Hinata looked closely at the blonde's expression. She had expected those empty eyes she was used to seeing in his younger days but instead, what she saw surprised her. His eyes lit up gently, it was as if he was remembering something sweet and wonderful.

"Course when I saw them ganging up on you... It reminded me of that. I didn't want you trampled like that pretty flower I liked so I jumped in."

The Hyuuga watched as his signature heart warming smile appeared on his face again.

"Still... I regret that I didn't get her name until I met her at academy."

"W-What did you think of me then?"

"You were the same pretty flower. This time, I learned you were a Hyuuga from the main branch. I couldn't get close to you because I didn't want you get smashed like the pretty flower I liked. Also think of the outrage the village would have had if they found out their demon brat liked one of their princesses..."

"Beloved..."

The man stroked her hair in silence as he smiled. No words were needed to be said as they basked in the warm moment.

"When did you fall in love with me?"

"I always loved you. I just didn't know what love was in my younger days. Not having parents will do that to you, you know."

"S-So..."

"Yea. It took me thirteen years to realize why I liked the warm gentle feeling I got when ever I thought of you. Course it also didn't help that you were cute as hell and always treated me nicely." smiled Naruto as he made that statement.

The blonde Jounin placed his chin above her forehead and tighten the loving embrace.

"I regret my idiotic train of thought in my younger days... I had always thought love was liking the pretty girl that hated you with her guts and making her yours. It wasn't till I was almost fourteen when I realize that wasn't love... Hey! Don't give me that look! I had bad examples for role models when I was younger!"

"What made you think that way?" asked Hinata with genuine curiosity as she nuzzled her cheek against his steady heartbeat.

"It was all the romantic movies I saw. We grew up in an era of entertainment where the main character fell in love with some pretty brutal woman. I worshiped those guys in the movies you know? I thought love was the ability to turn girls who hated you into your girlfriends! Come on Hime-chan, don't pout like that... You know they hated me when I was younger! I wanted to be like those guys in those movies. The lame idiots that somehow became cool through major determination and an incredible will to change."

Hinata gave Naruto a chaste kiss that made him chuckle awkwardly.

"I know I'm a couple of decades late... But I want to say this." said Naruto as he gentle held Hinata's chin.

"I... I..." Naruto smirked and shook his head as he wondered why he was having such a difficult time.

The man looked at the pleading white eyes of Hinata. Those slightly lavender tinged eyes that reflected his visage completely. Those windows to a soul that completely and utterly saw the Uzumaki Jinchuuriki for who he is. He thought of all the moments they shared, all the close calls, the innocent to the serious, the gentle and pure moments of simple understanding between two teammates to the passion between two lovers they recently shared. He had truly realized that the woman before him was the light shining in his darkness.

"I love you Hime-chan. " said Naruto finally with a small but sincere smile.

"I will always love you with my heart... That's a promise."

Hinata smiled as tears started to fall. She couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.

"W-Whatt's wrong Hime-chan..?" asked Naruto.

"N-Nothing... I-I dreamed of this moment for a long time..."

"Hime-chan..."

"I dreamed that you were pinned down by an godly adversary that no one can defeat and that I would rush to my death to save you... I always thought that the only time I would confess my feeling for you was the moment before I died..."

Hinata felt a very rough but gentle hand wipe her tears away.

"Never would I dream that you would say that to me..."

Naruto placed his forehead on hers and pushed his nose into hers. Hinata melted as she saw his intense gaze.

"I love you as well... Beloved."

The pair came together in a kiss that defined one and other. Little did they know, this was the moment that cemented their relationship.

00000000000000000

The blonde Jounin couldn't help but feel guilty as he helped Hinata dress. He had ravaged her thoroughly and no amount of cleaning and repairing ninja techniques are going to help get rid of his guilt. Naruto put a hand on his head as his train of thought let him through a geysers of negative emotions that all pointed to his failure of what he perceived as a proper man.

How can I just pin her down and rape her like that? I should have at least gotten her favorite flowers... Bought her dinner... Took her out... Said I loved her before I raped her... Asked her hand for marriage... Instead, I just took her on the spot! I-

Naruto felt a pair of hands cup his cheek and a quick chaste kiss on his mouth.

"What ever you're thinking of beloved... Do not think that you had failed me in anyway... You are Uzumaki Naruto. The future Sixth Hokage and the man that had kept this village alive despite the coup of Danzo. You are also my dearest beloved. I am the sunflower that will always follow the light that is the hope and determination you have given to me." said the woman of Naruto's dream with a perfect smile that was reserved just for him.

"H-Hime-chan..." muttered Naruto as a small tear ran down the side of his face.

"Still, I should have at least said how I felt about you before I... You know... Smas- err... Took your innocence." admitted Naruto after a few more moments of silence.

"Y-You were worried about that?"

Hinata couldn't help but laugh slightly. Naruto's eyes widen as the small laugh somehow melted his guilt and worry away.

"You were always good to me but I had always feared that you didn't see me the way I saw you... That was until you..." Hinata blushed as she gathered the next words.

Naruto watched attentively as the Hyuuga tried to form the jumble of words that got caught in her throat. After a few moments Hinata just smiled again and gave the blonde Jounin another chaste kiss.

"You're a dangerous man to all woman every where, beloved." said Hinata with another soft blush.

"The way you made love to me... The way you held me... the way you looked at me... The way you said my name and that little nickname you had given me..."

The woman placed another kiss on the stunned Jounin.

"And even now, the way you regarded me... You really know how to make a woman feel special beloved."

Naruto looked down as her words sank in.

She really is too good for me... Even after I practically raped her... She still unconditionally loved me...

"Even if you regret making me lose feeling to my lower body." said Hinata with a sultry tone of voice.

"I loved... Every... Single... Moment..." uttered the woman as the tip of her tongue seductively touched the beet-red ear she is whispering into.

"Eeep!" cried Hinata as a pair of strong arms flipped her back into bed.

"Then I am sure you will love this... Hime-chan." said Naruto as primal lust build within his eyes.

000000000000000000

Life had continued on after the fierce confrontation that had made another monument like the famous Valley of the End. To the average villager of Konoha, they loved the fact that their heroic and legendary strike team known as Fang and Claw was finally seen together. Though the team has never been disbanded officially, it has been a long time since they last saw the handsome Orange Thunder and the beautiful White Tsunami together, walking down a busy market street enjoying their time off.

Most of the older villagers remember how a short haired Hyuuga girl would chase after a orange prankster behind his back and watching the pair walking together, sometimes hand in hand, brought a warm feeling to their hearts. Some would offer a free meal at their restaurants, an occasional gift and praise here and there, but most would smile. Smile at the fact that theirs was a simple love. A simple love that made Konoha a more beautiful place. The villagers loved the orphan that was their future Hokage who walked along side the perfect Hyuuga Royalty that would lay down her live for the common folk.

"Hey Naruto! Don't forget us! We will always be happy to serve your wife and your future children our famous ramen!" cried a certain restaurant owner in joy as he saw the blushing pair walking down the street with hands held together.

The Hyuuga clan finally had gotten their wish. The elders, as aloof and seemingly cruel, wanted their new future clan leader to join with the former demon container. They had know of his sacrifice and the sacrifice of his mysterious parents, after all... Minato Namikaze and Kushina Namikaze were dear friends to the clan in their dark hour of need. Due to the third's law and Minato's hidden assassins from the Hidden Cloud, they feared that the young Uzumaki Naruto would be killed before their plans succeeded. They smiled in quiet justification as the help they gave in the shadows to the Uzumaki in his younger days had finally bore fruit.

Elder Akira Hyuuga smiled as she remembered a time where she had taught the future clan head in the ancient arts of Gentle Steps. She felt that her ancestors could finally rest in peace as the future clan head completed the incomplete art.

"Grandmother... What are you smiling about?"

"Have I told you the legend of the creator of the Gentle Steps? Hyuuga Hanako once soothed the aching and lonely heart of the ancient Jinchuuriki of the Nine-tailed Fox Demon with its graceful form and fell in love with the Jinchuuriki and in turn gave the Hyuuga a strong connection to the Village of Hidden Leaf."

"Grandmother... Who would believe in such a tall tale?"

"I remember a certain Namikaze boy who in his childhood did believed in the legend! He came to me, asking tales of an water goddesses in the Fire Nation that appeared before a moon-lit waterfall that performed the base form of the Gentle Fist. Oh the way that young boy was describing her, it made my old heart flutter..."

"Grandmother... You're being delusional again..."

"Oh? Stupid child... You should have seen the young clan head's beet red face as I told her Gentle Steps can worm its way into a Jinchuuriki's heart. Ah... Such a determination to catch the face of the one you love. It is rare among you younger generation! A true lady does not need fancy makeup or indecent clothes to win a man's heart! All she needs is the will of fire! It is why you are still single after twenty-one years!"

"Grandmother!"

Hisashi finally rest easy after the humbling scene where his best friend and rival's son had knelt before him and asked his eldest daughter's hand in marriage. He regretted that he treated his daughter so coldly during her younger years due to his promise to his late wife to make sure Hinata grew up to the clan leader that would change Hyuuga. He was glad that he had instructed Ko and the three of his brothers to henge and cause that scene more than twenty years ago.

"Hitomi... I hope you can see from the great beyond that your promise with Kushina did indeed bear fruition. And that Kushina's child indeed helped Hinata turn into the fine Hyuuga she is today. I also hope you can forgive your idiotic husband for not giving the love she needed..." cried the elder Hyuuga as he held a small picture of his late wife who looked like the splitting image of Hinata.

The man picked up another picture which showed a smiling grey haired Jounin with three young Gennins. One was the young Hisashi who wore such an arrogant expression. Another was a blonde teen who had a small, gentle smile and the other was a redhead with a goofy grin.

"Minato... Kushina... Your son had become a splendid man and a great candidate for the Hokage position. I am sorry that clan Hyuuga had not kept up the ancient promise to clan Namikaze and Uzumaki to take care of the hidden Senju line."

The remainder of the twelve gave the couple a warm blessing. From the bottom of their hearts, they wished for the happiness of the Uzumaki and Hyuuga. They felt a debt to the two as it was they who originally helped them in their times of need both during their careers as elite Konoha Jounins and during times where their war-torn families needed the care of a gentle matron and the guiding inspiration of an strong leader who came from nothing yet was able to warm the hearts of grieving little ones.

"Hinata... You have got to tell me how he is in bed." asked Sakura quietly as the men broke off to their own little world.

"W-What..? N-No..." replied the blushing Hyuuga sternly as she drank the last of her sake.

"I'll tell you that Sasuke-kun is such a gentle lover in bed, he never goes too far or do anything too wild but it gets boring after awhile you know? I wish he can perform that Tsukuyomi of his and give me a mind shattering orgasm..." sighed Sakura as she imagined how pleasing such a wanton use of blood limit techniques would be.

"Is that idiot the same? Or is he actually a beast in the sheets?"

Hinata's face flushed deeper as she remembered the eye rolling sensations and the tongue bouncing thrusts that rocked her world.

"Oh... Then it is true... Hanabi was right. He does make you scream and cream." replied the pink haired Jounin with a devious smirk.

"T-That meddling little sister of mine! I regret taking her lightly in my younger days... She needs discipline. I will make sure of it." said Hyuuga queen as she broke her ceramic cup in a fear inducing grip.

"H-Hinata... Your demon chakra is leaking! H-Hey..!"

"H-Hime-chan! Remember! Its utter concentration! Utter concentration! Hime-chan! Don't grow three more tails!"

"HANABI!"

Unknowing to most, the shadowy leader of Tennou had just recovered from a major financial crisis thanks to an anonymous donation from a small portion of the vast fortune left behind by the late Icha Icha series writer who mysteriously vanished along with his lust-inducing series.

"Again, I thank you Lady Senju, for your efforts of supporting Tennou." said Uchiha Sasuke as he finished turning in a complete situation report of Tennou's activity.

"Cheating bastard, I wouldn't have bet against you had I know your Sharingan can transfer memories." huffed the Hokage as she examined the report.

The Uchiha smiled in triumph as he bowed before the Fifth Hokage. His organization was in desprate need of funding and the fact that they already drained the left over wealth of the Uchiha clan didn't help. But the small portion of the wealth of late Sannin Jiraiya had ensured Tennou's financial survival.

"Then again, I always knew that she would do something that night. The way that girl's face lit up after I told her my sob story."

"T-Then..."

"Sa-su-chan."

"Y-Yes Hokage... Err... Tsunade-nee-sama?"

"I believe there's a certain favor the shadowy leader of Tennou can help with?"

"Oh sh-"

Sorry to cut the story short, but I have been wanting to write another Naruto story that would be set in my alternate universe which this story belonged to. The lemon in the beginning is an author's parting gift for those who had follow this story during its long infancy. It has been fun writing this fan fiction. Thank you for reading and without further introduction...

A snippet of my upcoming story. It is called the Fang and Claw.

0000000000000000000

Unknown Snippet: The Fang.

Hyuuga Hinata always loved music. Especially exotic tunes she had never listened before, so when the usually quiet halls of the main family residence was filled with a sad but heart warming tune, she knew she had to find it. The young girl wished her eyes could use the bloodline technique of her family but being four years old, she had no access to such comforts.

"Where do rainbows exist..? Tell me please... Tell me so I can return my wishes..."

Hinata stopped in her tracks.

"Why is the sky so quiet? Why do all the clouds come to my place..?"

It was definitely a man or a very masculine boy who was singing in such a sad tone. At first she had only heard the musical strings being plucked but didn't expect a person to be singing. The young Hyuuga quietly walked towards the source of the faint voice.

"Do you have a mask? Give one to me... So if I release my thoughts and said too much... then they won't be able to become true..."

The voice was getting clearer and the girl needed to find the person singing.

"Perhaps time is an sort of medicine... It is also the drug that is a poison..."

Hinata stopped as she arrived at the guest room for rare guest of honor her father infrequently accommodate. It was reserved for people of personal importance to her loving father.

"I can't see your smile..."

The girl was too curious about the mysterious singer and hoping that the person singing would be too preoccupied by the music he is performing.

"Yet how can I sleep so well..? Your voice is so close... Yet I could not embrace it..."

The girl quietly opened the door and saw an older boy playing a strange instrument she has never seen before. The instrument looked like a traditional Biwa but its neck was longer and it carried more strings. The little girl looked at the blonde teenager playing the instrument and his voice surprised her. His voice was deep like her fathers but carried much more depth in it. The girl couldn't help but blush as she realized how handsome the teen is. His features were not like the pretty boys that the older girls of her clan had liked. His looks came from an rugged, intense face that had seen a lot. A face that belonged to someone who was wise beyond their age.

"Eeep..!" cried the young girl in surprise as deep cerulean sapphire met with nervous pale lavender.

The young girl hid behind the door and slowly peeked out of it. The older boy had a very masculine smile that she had sometimes seen on the older members of her clan. The boy also wore an attire that is usually reserved for members of the Senju clan of the first great war. What was strange was the emblem of a row of fangs on the shoulder armor adorned with what it looks like fox fur. The color of the suit of armor was in dark orange and it had black flames embroiled on it.

"S-Sorry for intruding..." said the young girl nervously.

The older boy smiled and motioned for the young heiress to sit in front of her. The young girl nodded and took a seat on the pillow laid in front of the teenager. The blonde teen changed the tune of his music. It is a tune bit more upbeat but still sad.

"Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner..."

The young girl watched attentively to the expression on the teen's face.

"Some times I feel... Like my only friend... Is the village I live in... The village of leaves... Lonely as I am... Together we cry..."

The young girl felt puzzled as she watched his lips move. It was as if he wasn't speaking the language she understood but by some weird reason, she understood it. The girl watch him sing of the Konoha and the things he sacrificed for the good of her. Times seemed to stop as the young girl was captured by his tunes. It felt like an eternity but as the music ended so did the small moment in time they spent together.

"Did you understand me?" asked the teen in the strange lip movement that did not belong to the common language of the Five Lands.

"W-Why do I understand you onichan?"

The young teen smiled as he put away his instrument in a sealing technique and put on his gauntlets and strange stylized helmet that looked like a fox skull.

"What's your name little lady?" asked the teen, this time his lips matched the common tongue.

"H-Hinata."

The boy's eyes widen a bit before it turned into an expression she was familiar with. It was the look her mother had for her. A warm expression that told her she would be fine. The teenager chuckled softly and scratched the back of his head. Hinata noticed that the teenager had six scars on his face that looked like whiskers.

"Call me Orange Thunder... Actually, just Naruto."

"Naruto..? C-Can I call you N-Naruto-kun..?" asked the young girl as she felt a warm emotion fill her as she had said that name.

"Naruto-kun? I guess that's fine, but shouldn't you call me Onichan or Oni-sama? I am ten years older than you." said the teenager with another smile.

"S-Sorry Naruto-Oni-sama... I-I don't why... But I wanted to call you that."

The older boy smiled again at her nervousness.

"Did you like my music? Does it sound awesome?"

"I-Its a little weird and makes me feel sad..."

Hinata saw the fox helmet droop a little as she gave her comment. Apparently the armored boy didn't take her compliment well.

"B-But I liked it! Naruto-Oni-sama is a good musician!"

"T-Thanks Hime-chan." replied the fox knight awkwardly.

"Pardon for my lateness Fang-dono."

"F-Father! I-I'm sorry..." cried the young Hyuuga in surprise as Hyuuga Hisashi entered the room.

The stern face of the Hyuuga father broke into a smile as the sight of his cute daughter brighten his day.

"Do not be little Sunflower. I am sure Fang-dono can accommodate my cute daughter in our meeting." said Hisashi as he shot a look to the armored boy that made his spine crawl.

"O-Of course Hyuuga-sama." replied Fang as he agreed with the sudden change in their meeting.

"So how goes the status of Tennou?"

"I had made contact with the some of the other Jinchuurikis. They had agreed to join Tennou provided that they would only act when the interest of their village or when their families are threaten."

"I see."

"I am sorry Hyuuga-sama, but in three weeks, I will be leaving the village to deal with the remaining Jinchuurikis that are under the influence of Akatuski."

"What of my daughter? Is she not also your beloved?"

"That is from a different time and place. I will keep my promise to protect her but I cannot let her suffered the same fate as my wife."

"Then why did you seal..."

"I am sorry I placed such a heavy burden on the little one, but I cannot risk the enemy capturing all of Kuruma."

"Fang-dono! Is she not the lo-"

"Hisashi! Do not use my dead wife's memory as mere leverage. I am the Sixth. As the Sixth, my duties are to the living people of the village. Not to a person who had already died."

00000000000000000000

Until the release of Fang and Claw...

-Tanthius.
