Naruto: The Prince of Lust-Chapter 256 -

Temari never thought she would be in this position but looking at Naruto, she’s uncertain of how she’ll react, and that scares her. She’s tempted to take a step back, but not only could that send the wrong message, she recognized that hesitation, that fear, so with great trepidation and uncertainty, Temari takes a step forward and nods. The rest of the evening was dedicated to his lips and hands. Temari was in such a daze she didn’t even realize how she made it back to her room until she closed the door behind her.

A knock came then before she hears her sensei’s voice through the wood asking, "anything to report?"

’He’s the Kami of Kissing,’ Temari’s mind answers. She shakes her head before she answers, "some progress was made. Nothing more." When she hears him leave, Temari abruptly asks, "where’s Gaara?"

"On the roof," Baki answer. "He’s been… restless. Why?"

She had thought to talk to him but knew it was impossible now. Her baby brother is craving a kill. And in three weeks, she’ll be feeding her monster-possessed brother Naruto… whether she wants to or not.

INO

Returning late to her home after hanging out with Naruto’s clone, Ino eagerly rushes up the stairs and into Sakura’s room to gush about their night. It was a friendly affair, but it’s the best night yet. Though Ino wishes painfully to her bones things were different between Naruto and her—that she hadn’t made so grave mistakes—she’s simply happy that they’re working on being trusting friends again.

Though Ino hadn’t expected Naruto would tell Kurenai-sensei, she’s glad he did. Ino respects Kurenai a great deal and it hurt deeply when the beautiful sensei explained how disappointed she was in her. Ino didn’t even want to touch her tea, her stomach was in such knots. However, the beautiful woman understood the situation and while she didn’t approve, she didn’t see any malice in her heart.

"You were hurting and lashed out," Kurenai-sensei said. "You’re not the first person that’s happened to and you won’t be the last. Your effort to make amends is encouraging and I still support you, Ino-chan."

It was a fabulous start to her day and astonishingly enough, she hung out with Naruto for hours. More than anyone, she wanted to share it with her sister. Unfortunately, the pink-haired girl was passed out in her bed. It’s been like this since the second task. Ino hardly sees her and when she does, the girl is frustrated, studying, or sleeping.

Ino’s too excited to leave Sakura be, however, rather than waking her up Ino showers, changes, and slips into bed with Sakura. The blond whispers her hopes for the future, her apologies for the past, and her gratitude for the present before going to sleep with her dear friend.

SASUKE

Walking out onto the stone path of the courtyard of his clan’s estate, Sasuke asks the shinobi hidden in the shadows of the moonlight, "what are you doing here, Kakashi-sensei?"

Stepping out of the shadows created by the hip and gabled roof of the ancestral home, Kakashi casually answers his student. "There’s been an incident." Sasuke crosses his arms as he stretches his senses to detect as much as he can. He’s certain the three-man team of Jōnin are watching him when Kakashi adds, "one of the finalists has died."

"Why are you here," Sasuke asks his sensei.

Kakashi explains, "there’s been a lot of deliberation behind my being here. Your absence was of great disappointment to certain groups interested in the Uchiha name; the last true Sharingan user. As such, rather than arrange the current contenders in an uneven tournament, Hokage-sama has approved offering you the opportunity to enter the tournament-"

"I accept," Sasuke quickly asserts.

"Easy now," Kakashi tries to placate his student. "Before you do, you should be aware… there’s a caveat."

"It doesn’t matter," Sasuke contends. "I accept."

"At least hear me out," Kakashi asserts. "Under no circumstances, will you be able to win the promotion to become Chūnin."

Drawing his brows together in some confusion, Sasuke asks, "what do you mean?"

Looking up at the night sky, Kakashi explains, "while it’s true you’re one of the top genin in our forces, and even stronger than some of the participants currently in the third task, you did lose in the preliminary." Sasuke scowls a moment, ashamed by his loss to Naruto. "So even if you beat every contender in the third task, you will not be promoted. Your participation in the tournament is strict to appease interested groups."

Sasuke’s goal in life never strays far from his thoughts. The memories littering his clan’s home always reminds him of the love that’s been stolen from him. Itachi’s death is his only goal and gaining promotions matter for the opportunity they offer to teach him more.

’Teach me like Orochimaru is offering to,’ Sasuke thinks. Sasuke vaguely wonders if the incident that happened tonight has to do with him. ’It doesn’t matter,’ he thinks. ’My decision is clear.’
