— Kyo Senju —
"Everything hurts," I whimper, glaring at my unapologetic sensei. "Why did you think that was a good idea? It specifically said you were high difficulty."
"Eh, wanted to see if I'd feel anything. So, I kicked your ass, huh?" Anko asks, entirely too smug.
"Yes. Obviously. Why do you even have that many snakes? They just kept biting me," I whine, throwing a pillow at Anko. "You are a terrible sensei. And a terrible person."
"No, I'm a terrible person and a halfway decent sensei since we've learnt that people can't detect you challenging them," Anko corrects shamelessly. From my perspective, you were just looking at me then suddenly you were whining."
"I wasn't whining! And personally, I think complaining about being eaten by snakes is perfectly valid. Ugh, I tried Genjutu but you train with Kurenai so that went nowhere," I sigh.
"Ha, yeah that wasn't gonna happen," Anko agrees with a smirk. "Stop being such a baby and I'll give you a blowjob when we're done."
"What's next, Sensei?" I ask, getting a snort from her.
"So, unlike your other challenge method you have to be able to see the person to challenge them. Next, we need to find out if you people can feel it when you win a challenge against them," Anko mumbles, rubbing her chin. "Yeah, I can work with this. I'll be back later, brat. Stay out of trouble or I'll stab you."
Without bothering to explain anything, she just moves over to my window and leaps out of it. Does the Hokage really know what he's doing assigning her as my sensei?
…I doubt any other sensei would have jumped into bed with me, so fuck it, I believe in the Lord Hokage's wisdom.
"She's weird," Ty Lee adds as she pokes her head around the corner. "So… you down for another round while you wait for her to come back?"
"God, I love my life. When my sensei isn't trying to kill me with giant snakes," I add, grabbing her hand and dragging her toward the bed as she giggles.
"Oi, brat- already?" Anko adds from the window. As her respectful and mature student, I respond by throwing Ty Lee's top at her and then ignoring her. "You wanna find out if my snakes feel different in the real world?"
"What can I do for you, Anko-sensei?" I ask.
"Forgot to ask. Did you decide on if you wanted to try apprenticing at one of the divisions or not? Hokage told me to ask but we got a little distracted," Anko admits.
"What? Oh, yeah. The Medic corps. I've got my healing waters, might as well use them, right?" I ask.
"Yeah, it's definitely nothing to do with you wanting to show up your drunk, runaway cousin," Anko agrees.
"It- huh, it genuinely wasn't until you brought it up," I admit, stroking my chin thoughtfully. Wait, no, that's Ty Lee's boob. "But now that you mention it, yeah. I wanna do that."
"Nice. Now you can get back to fucking. Actually, I promised you a blowjob so fuck it, work can wait," Anko shrugs, pushing her coat off again. "Ty Lee, sit on his face."
Thank you, Lord Hokage. My loyalty to the Leaf will never waver. My heart is true, my mind clear and my cock hard.
— Later —
Despite rumours to the contrary, I did actually get work done today once Anko left. I might have gained Ty Lee's acrobatics and Katara's waterbending, but both of them are unfamiliar to me in comparison to Mai's throwing weapons, so I need to convert the skill into muscle memory.
Sparring with Ty Lee helped a lot, even if most spars ended with us practising a new grappling technique. I also briefly spoke to the Hokage about Mai's desire to remain a teacher. He was bemused to see that I'd already gotten another summon, but admitted that her skill with bukijutsu is on par with some chunin, and she has a lot she could teach to the Academy students.
She won't beat any real ninja in a fight without Chakra or Bending, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have knowledge to share. With some help from me, she's even learning Fuinjutsu since she's genuinely pretty damn smart and she has amazing calligraphy. She might lack the chakra to utilise the seals, but we're working on it.
She even smiled, briefly, when I told her that she had a new job at the Academy. I think. It was either a smile or a grimace, but she thanked me so I'm leaning toward the former.
She was less amused when I asked her to help Momo learn how to use her Stiletto, but she is a good teacher. My plan is showing potential. He's slippery, sneaky, and now he has a crossbow thing attached to his arm.
I'm going to have to commission one for him since mine is too big, but I know a place. I'm a regular customer, after all. I use a lot of throwing weapons and you can't always gather them afterwards.
Anko, being Anko, disappeared again and never returned. Where is she going? What is she doing? I'd say only she knows but frankly I'm not entirely convinced she knows either. That said, she did teach me something today.
I mean, Hokage probably didn't assign her as my sensei for her to teach me how to pleasure a woman but Ty Lee certainly didn't complain. Nor did Anko herself when she 'tested' my new talents with an oral exam.
And people said I'm not a fast learner. Clearly I just wasn't motivated properly.
As I get ready for bed, since I suspect I'll need a good night's sleep for whatever genius plan Anko comes up with next, a knock at my door makes me pause and move over. Opening it up, I blink at the sight of Mai in a nice nightie that Ty Lee definitely bought her given the look on Mai's face.
A part of me says I shouldn't have put Ty Lee in charge of shopping for Mai's clothes. A bigger part of me says I definitely had the right idea as my eyes linger on Mai's long legs. She interrupts my half-formed question as she pushes me into my room and closes the door behind me.
"Hi?" I try, pausing as she shrugs her nightie off to expose her nude body. Ty Lee is curvier, but Mai is by no means unattractive as she steps forward and into my space, continuing moving until I'm back up against my bed.
"I am not… ungrateful for your help in ensuring that my time here is not unpleasant," Mai says slowly, pushing me to sit on the edge of the bed as she moves down onto her knees. "Do not expect me to be as… eager as Ty Lee, Master, but allow me to thank you for acquiring me my new job."
As she speaks, she pulls my pants down to expose my cock and takes it into her hand. Ty Lee mentioned that she could tell that I wanted her, since we're bonded. It makes sense that Mai does as well, and she doesn't seem unhappy as she strokes my cock swiftly, slender fingers wrapping around it before she leans forward and takes the crown into her mouth.
Despite her words about eagerness, she almost immediately takes me to the base as I gasp, placing one hand on her head. In truth, despite the suction currently on my cock and the way her tongue is writhing against my shaft, my mind is elsewhere.
If there's a bond between us, leaking my emotions and desires to my summons, shouldn't it work both ways?
It takes me a bit, to be honest. Mostly I just end up repeatedly poking my power, trying to find something, anything, that could explain this particular aspect of the summoning. That said, as I guide Mai's head, I do eventually find my way to the answer.
Focusing on Mai, I feel her embarrassment and reluctant lust as she fingers herself while she pleasures me. I feel her gratitude for me accepting her request and I sense… her love? Wait, love? We met yesterday but what I sense is undeniable. She loves me.
Ty Lee's explanation about knowing that she's a slave and just not caring, even when she should, comes to mind. Checking Ty Lee's bond I find excitement at Mai letting loose, anticipation for when she thinks enough time has passed for her to join in and… yup, love. She literally adores me. She doesn't care that she's a slave because I can't do anything wrong in her mind.
I don't know if they even know it themselves, but with their minds open to me, it's all too clear to me. Mai's feelings for her former boyfriend, Zuko, are nothing compared to what she feels for me but it's more than that. In her mind, I am literally her perfect type. She likes my long brown hair, but if I had a haircut and dyed it blond, she'd be into guys with short blond hair.
From what I can tell, my system has worked hard to keep their personalities unchanged while ensuring that the baseline, the very foundation for their entire life, is just me.
As I cum, Mai, despite being entirely inexperienced, eagerly swallows it before she pulls back and puts on her best blank face, closing one eye as my seed paints her face. Still in her mind, I can feel her nerves as she wonders if she did a good job.
"That was amazing," I praise, stroking her hair as I watch her emotions and reactions. She almost shudders, and I don't think she just has a praise kink. She's done something for me, and that's almost better than cumming herself as she wipes up the splattered seed and licks it clean. "On the bed."
She does her best to roll her eyes as she moves up, shimmying her panties down to reveal her freshly shaved snatch and moves onto the bed. Again, as she completes an order for me, her entire being lights up in pleasure. Following my orders, pleasing me, is the greatest pleasure she could experience.
It occurs to me that Ty Lee might not have been the best first choice, because she's too easygoing. It made it harder to notice the way she was reacting.
"Be gentle, please. This is my first time," Mai grumbles, parting her legs to expose her tight cunt. As she said, she isn't openly eager, keeping her apathetic act, but I can feel her satisfaction as I move on top of her and press my cock against her pussy. With a single move, I'm inside her and instantly her body begins to move to meet my thrusts.
Despite her request, I don't be overly gentle as I begin to pump into her faster and faster, one hand on her waist and the other on her breast. Despite me ignoring her request, she does nothing but encourage me in small, quiet ways, moans and gasps for more.
"Cum for me," I order, pushing my command into the bond as her body reacts and shudders violently, her cunt clenching down on me as she cries my name.
As I thrust into her tight confines, my mind wanders elsewhere. A better man might have doubts about this bond, but… I am a ninja. More importantly, I'm not a very good ninja and that means that I need to use anything and everything I can get my hands on.
This bond, this love, makes them unwaveringly loyal and willing to do anything for me. Literally anything. As I cum inside her, I lean in close and suck on her earlobe, hearing her moan as my seed floods her womb.
"Ty Lee, get in here," I bark playfully, chuckling at the sound of movement behind the door as it opens to a sheepish, half-naked Ty Lee crouched with one hand in her pants.
Mai just sighs, rolling her eyes again as she tries to recover.
— Next Morning —
Waking to a strange smell, my instincts demand I pull myself up from the flesh pile and react to the intruder I can sense in my bedroom. Despite Mai being laid over me, in an instant I'm up and my Stiletto is on my arm as I fire at the intruder to buy myself a moment of time.
Anko stares at me, amused as she looks at where the stiletto is stuck in the wall behind her.
"Good reflexes," Anko praises, uncaring that I just shot an arrow at her head. My mind is elsewhere, staring at the scroll she's clearly just unsealed and what lies on top of it.
"Anko, what in the actual fuck?" I ask, wondering what could have possibly possessed this lunatic to bring a surprisingly well-persevered corpse into my bedroom.
"Don't look so grim, I got permission. Anyway, testing time, brat. Can you challenge them?" Anko asks, and I pause. Challenge… a corpse?
It sounds insane, but I humour her as I focus on it and… wait, it fucking works?
"Ha! Who's a terrible sensei now, you little shit?" Anko laughs, reading the look on my face. I'm still just trying to wrap my head around who it is lying on my bedroom floor.
— Tsunade Senju —
As she arrived back in the one place she didn't want to be, she didn't bother announcing herself as she made her way into the Hokage's tower. One of his assistants briefly tried to stop her before stepping aside as Tsunade barged her way into his office.
"I see you got my letter," Hiruzen greeted simply. "In truth, I'm surprised you arrived back so quickly."
"I happened to be nearby when your messenger showed up," Tsunade admitted, before growling lightly. "You want to explain the bullshit you sent me?"
"I had thought it was fairly self-explanatory, Tsunade. I have decided that the current state of affairs is no longer acceptable," Hiruzen replied calmly, unbothered by her anger.
"I am the head of the Senju clan, you can't just demand that I step down," Tsunade argued, incensed at the idea of Hiruzen stripping her of her inherited title. Sure, she didn't use it, but he had no right.
"I can, and I will," Hiruzen replied coldly, far colder than he'd ever spoken to her. It made her freeze, briefly remembering that she was currently shouting at the Hokage, not just her old sensei. "To be frank, the Senju clan is too important to Konoha's history, reputation and future for me to permit the current state of affairs. When the Head of the clan refuses to spend any time in the village, it sends a concerning message to both the village and our enemies. I have been extremely patient with you, Tsunade. I gave you the space you demanded, but months turned into years, turned into well over a decade of drunkenly wandering around the Land of Fire, accruing debt you can't afford to pay and shaming both the village and your family."
Tsunade's response died in her throat as she stared into his old, disappointed eyes. She didn't bring up Nawaki or Dan, as it wasn't anything he didn't already know.
"You still have no right to interfere in clan business," Tsunade countered. "I doubt the other clans would like the precedent of you just stripping people of their titles."
"Oh, you're quite right. That's why I'll be stripping you of your… unique exception instead. You can either step down willingly, return and do your duties to the village or be declared a missing-nin and lose the title that way," Hiruzen explained. Her eyes widened, another denial on her lips before she met his eyes and she realised that he was deadly serious. "Frankly, you've caused enough embarrassment as it is that the embarrassment of having Lord Hashirama's granddaughter and my student be declared a rogue ninja is only mildly worse than what you're managing by yourself."
She wanted to call his bluff, almost sure that he just had an incredible poker face, but her history with poker told her that this was one gamble that she couldn't afford to lose.
If he was serious enough about this that he'd make such a decision, he was also certainly prepared for such an event. She doubted she'd make it to the edge of the village, and Shizune…
Even if she could just leave, she'd either have to leave Shizune behind or condemn her to a life as a rogue ninja, hunted by Konoha and their enemies alike.
Shizune would almost certainly try to follow her either way, but Tsunade couldn't do that to her. Was Jiraiya in on this? She was half expecting him to be lurking around here somewhere, ready to help bring her in.
"Bastard," Tsunade spat, glaring at him as he smoked his pipe calmly.
"Hokage," Hiruzen corrected. "Choose, Tsunade. You aren't leaving the village without making a choice. I've given you more than enough time, I've given you your options."
