Ino loved to wake up this way! It only happened when she
slept over at Naruto's. She moaned as the person between her legs sucked on her
clit before diving into her depths with their tongue once again. She also felt
two different mouths on her chest as each one took its own nipple, the left
mouth was more delicate as it swirled around her hardened teat before suckling
gently while the right mouth would nip and bite her engorged flesh only to suck
on it hard.

Guessing, Ino put Naruto as being between her legs with
Hinata on her left and Haku on her right. Opening her eyes, she looked down and
she grinned for she had guessed right, but this thought was soon lost to the
coordinated attack on her being. She basked in the pleasure as she was brought
to her first orgasm of the day, and if this morning was going to be anything
like the previous mornings here, it wouldn't be the last.

Naruto smiled down at Ino as he watched her recover from
their wake up routine. It had become standard practice to awaken the last to
wake with a combined assault. Sitting up, he got Ino's full attention as he
slid his rigid cock across her lower lips. Seeing the desire in her eyes, he
slowly penetrated her to the base. Naruto loved the feeling of entering slowly
the first time every morning, but he quickly picked up the pace as Ino pleaded
for more.

He smiled as Haku climbed over Ino to mount Hinata right
beside him. Turning to her, they started a deep passionate kiss as they both
railed the ones beneath them. Breaking the kiss, they stared into each others
eyes and the silent agreement was made, whosever partner came first would win.
Of course the game was meaningless, but it always pushed them harder to please
the one they were with.

Haku pulled herself from Hinata's luscious pussy to slowly
enter her ass. Naruto knew the competition was on now because they both knew
Hinata's weak spot was the back door. Grinning, Naruto rolled Ino onto her
knees so he could give it to her hard, just how she loved it. Soon Ino was
cumming, but Hinata was right behind her as Haku brought her over the edge and
into the blinding bliss of orgasm.

As Ino and Hinata reveled in their post orgasmic glow,
Naruto pulled Haku onto him as he penetrated her depths. They set a heavy pace
as they kissed each others bodies, moving to music only they could hear. They
soon found themselves on the peaks of the mountain of pleasure. Naruto bit the
mark of their union causing Haku to climax violently as Naruto let his own take
him, burying his seed deep within his mate as hers covered their bodies.

As they fell to the futon to catch their breath, Ino smiled.
"We better get cleaned up. You guys need to start your training soon,
while I have to tend the shop today."

Shika sat on the grass panting. While Naruto had been right
about being able to rest a little while and then continue, this was the tenth
break he'd taken today. It also didn't help that Miko-sensei had raised his
weights this morning. Lucky for him, they only had another hour before noon
where they would split up and train in their 'specialties'. He would go with
his father and train in controlling his shadow, Naruto would go with Jiraiya
and study seals, while Haku went with Miko to study kenjutsu. After two hours
of that came one hour of illusion training and then an hour of sparring before
they were free for the day.

The thought of sparring made him wince. While sparring had
been troublesome before joining the Kitsune, now it was an exercise in staying
alive. Since now he could heal broken bones by the next morning, and cuts that
would be considered fatal healed in hours, he found he received both on a
regular basis in the spars.

But he had to admit, in the past two weeks since his
'adoption', he had improved by leaps and bounds. He could now make a dozen Kage
Bunshin. Of course, that could be his new bolstered affinity with the void. He
grinned, remembering the first time he used Shadow Bind on his father after the
ritual. While his previous record for holding him was twenty three seconds, he
shattered it by holding him for one minute and forty two seconds. Considering
his father was an elite Jounin that was definitely an improvement. But just
yesterday, he broke the three and a half minute mark.

Then there was the thing about his eyes. Under Miko's
urging, he pushed chakra into his eyes. Once again, he was able to see the
apparitions. This time, however, he noticed he could see shades within the
apparition. Miko shone brightly, with a dark outline just like Haku and Anko.
Hinata's soul seemed to shine with a purity that almost hurt to look at. Then
there was Naruto's. His was an enigma. Naruto was like the other Kitsune, but
where his 'Jutsu Bands' were on his soul were blazing white bands. When Shika
described the auras to Miko, she guessed he was seeing the state of their
souls. Since the Kitsune were demons, they'd never be able to remove all the
evil taint, which explained the outer darkness. As for Hinata, she was the
poster child of a 'good person, so that explained her aura.

Frowning, Shika remembered that all his newfound power came
at a price. Since the void embraced him, he found his ability to do non-shadow
based elemental jutsu was nil. His father theorized that when the void joined
with him, it removed his innate affinity for the other elements to bolster his
power with the Shadow. As his father explained, everyone had a small innate
affinity with each of the four base chakra natures (Earth, Air, Fire, and
Water), the four higher chakra natures (Lightning, Ice, Nature, and Metal), and
the two core natures (Light and Dark). Shika frowned. 'It's a steep
handicap, but I won't let it stop me.'

"Shika-kun, what's the matter?" Shika winced. His
mind flashed back to how he found himself in his current dilemma.

FLASHBACK

Shika was exploring the forest around the clan house when he
heard someone cursing. Heading to the sound, he found the kunoichi that he had
defeated in the prelims. Deciding to observe her before acting against her he
got comfortable, since the protective illusions would keep him hidden till he
made an action towards her.

Kin was pissed, but more than that, she was worried. She had
been in this forest for a week and her supplies were nearly gone. "Fucking
mission, I don't know why it's so important that the blonde dies. I mean, yeah,
he survived that move from the green clad weirdo and he's fast, but that's not
enough for Orochimaru to want him dead." A shooting pain went through her
seal and she fell to her knees. "Damn it! I'd report to you if I could get
out OF THIS FUCKING FOREST!"

Shika frowned. Her mission was clearly to assassinate
Naruto. Curious, he pushed some chakra to his eyes. He had to stifle a gasp.
Her aura was like most shinobi of the genin ranks, maybe a bit darker. But what
caught his attention was the fact she had an onyx black chain wrapped around
her neck and it seemed to come from a seal on her neck that, surprisingly, had
its own piece of soul. The darkness of the chains also seemed to be polluting
the rest of her soul. 'She must have one of the curse seals I've heard Miko
and Hokage-sama talk about. I wonder.'

Quickly binding her with his shadow, he jumped down.
"So, your mission is to kill Naruto, is it?"

Kin's face lost all color. �eThat voice, it couldn't be�f. But, to her horror, it was none other
than the one she's supposed to be seducing, "Like I'd tell you!"

Shika smirked. "But you already have. Now, what to do
with you" Bringing his hand to his chin, he made a thoughtful 'hmmmm'
sound. "I could bring you to the ANBU to be interrogated." He saw the
color drain from her face. "But I think I will try something first."
Walking up to her, he prepared to do something he had only done to small
animals so far.

At his father's insistence, he had learned to pull the soul
out of a target with his shadow after an accident where he almost did it to
Ino. While he thought he wasn't ready to 'consume' a complete human soul, nor
did he think he could bring himself to do it intentionally, he figured he could
remove the small shard of the one in the seal to break it. Kin only tried
harder to break his hold as he came closer. "If you�fre going to rape me, I
think I'd rather have you bring me to the ANBU."

Shika quirked an eyebrow at this, "No, I'm going to
remove the seal on your neck before it most likely destroys your mind."
Before she could respond he began to pull at the soul shard. It was obviously
from someone that embodied the meaning of evil and that someone was most
definitely strong. After a few minutes and a lot of chakra it finally gave way,
but something unexpected happened. Instead of crumbling like he thought it
would, the seal pulled a piece of him into it. He could hear someone
approaching as he caught the unconscious kunoichi.

Miko broke from the foliage to see the unconscious figure of
Kin in Shika's arms. "What happened? I felt that you were using a lot of
chakra." Looking to Kin's almost colorless face, she frowned. "Don't
tell me you took her..."

"No! I would never!" Catching his breath a little,
he explained what happened.

Looking at the seal, Miko cringed. "Well Shika, it
looks like you completed her seal. Unlike the ones you've heard me talking
about, this one is for enslavement. While Orochimaru's human soul can't
complete the seals, he seems to have learned that that doesn't stop him from
using them. But, when it pulled a piece of your demonic soul into it, it was
finished."

Shika frowned. "What do you mean enslavement?"

END FLASHBACK

"No Kin, I was just thinking about the past couple
weeks." Sighing, he got back up to continue his exercises.
"Troublesome."

"You know, this chakra control method seems kind of
extreme, doesn't it?" Kin had a look of concern for him. Miko had
explained that the seal worked by completely and utterly endearing the victim
to the sealer. At first, Shika was just going to have Kin go her own way�c till
Miko explained the longer she spent away from him, the more her mind would
deteriorate.

Once again stepping on his upturned kunai, he couldn't help
but agree. "While it is troublesome, I can feel my control getting
better." Looking over to Kin, he smiled. She had gone back to tree
climbing. Thinking back, he'd probably be on water walking if Naruto hadn't got
him to start tree climbing a couple of weeks before the exam.

Miko was currently shoulder deep in ancient tomes deep in
the archives. She was close to finding a solution to the problem with Hinata,
but she had hit a wall. All she needed was a source of angelic chakra as
concentrated as their demonic chakra was. She either needed an angelic artifact
or to get an angel to do them a favor, 'Cha, fat chance of that one.'
Looking up, she noticed it was getting close to noon. 'Haku is progressing
nicely in Kitsune Kenbu and Kitsune Illusions, Naruto is still struggling a
little, but Shika is catching up to Naruto.' Miko grinned. 'Shika has
surpassed almost all my expectations. While he doesn't physically improve
nearly as fast as Haku or Naruto, his chakra control and reserves have
skyrocketed and his bloodline improvement is amazing. To think, he has the
power to consume souls. There is no foe on this planet that wouldn't fear such
a fate.'

Ino looked out into the moonlit night. For as long as she
could remember, the sight of the full moon had had a calming affect on her.
Smiling to herself, she couldn't help but think things were looking up. She was
stirred from her thoughts when she saw the Suna-Nin named Gaara that controlled
sand land on the roof she had been sitting on. Remembering what happened when
Akai surprised him, she decided to try and remain unnoticed.

Every time the moon shone full, Shukaku would scream for
blood without stop, and sometimes he gave in and bathed in the blood of the
unfortunate victims that he happened upon. Every person in Suna had come to
fear the night of the full moon, just as they feared him. He held his head in
his hands as Shukaku screamed, ranted, and raved; calling for the blood of this
doomed village to flow. He could feel that someone was close. Didn't they know
to stay away? Didn't they understand that he can't stop it? Didn't they know it
wasn't him in control, but some sick combination of him and the beast?! Now
this person was doomed and he wouldn't be able to keep their blood from
staining his hands! He cried out for the person to run, only for it to echo in
his mind.

Ino was caught completely off guard as sand wrapped around
her neck and pulled her before the Suna-Nin. As the scene of Akai's death
played through her mind, she knew she stood no chance physically, so without a
second thought she used Shintenshin to enter his mind. What she
found would change her life forever.

She was in a giant white open space with sand piled here and
there. In the middle of the room stood Gaara and she could see a cloud of sand
flowing around him. She then saw one of the most terrifying things she would
ever see, for behind the figure of Gaara was the caged form of Shukaku, Demon
Lord of the Desert. Ino's heart nearly stopped when an arm had come racing out
from the weathered cage, only to stop a few feet behind Gaara. The demon was
cackling at the smell of her fear.

As she recovered from her fright, she heard something behind
her. When she turned, she saw a small child with tears staining his cheeks and
a death grip on a worn, brown teddy bear. She then noticed that he had to be
Gaara when he was a child.

The child looked at her with regret. "I'm sorry, I'm so
sorry. I, I don't want to kill you."

Ino was slightly confused still. "Your name is Gaara,
right?" Seeing the child nod, she continued. "Well I'm Ino."
Looking behind her at the figure of the older Gaara, she asked, "And who
is that?"

The child bowed his head as he answered. "That's me
too, but that me is also part of him."

Ino could hear the hate and fear in his voice. Then she
realized what was going on. All the hours she spent learning psychology from
her father finally clicked. When she entered Gaara's mind, she had entered a
battlefield. Looking around once again, she started to notice small details
that hinted at the war that was waged in this space. The earthen bars of
Shukaku's cage seemed nearly worn through, the line of sand leading to the
older Gaara feeding the protective cloud of sand, and finally on the floor was
a massive seal, but most of it has been covered by the shifting sands. Seeing
all of this, she knew Gaara would soon be lost to this world if he didn't get
some help.

Turning back to the child, she couldn't stop herself from
tearing up. "You're losing this fight, aren't you."

The childlike Gaara just nodded as fresh tears fell down his
cheeks. "I don't want to kill people. I don't like it when I'm covered in
blood. You have to understand, I wouldn't have killed those people!"
Falling to his knees, he cried into his teddy that he held to his chest.
"I just want someone, anyone, to be my friend, but I can't have friends
because he'll kill them."

Ino knelt before Gaara and embraced him. "I know, I
know." She could feel him tense up. "I understand, he makes you do
those things, and I'd be glad to be your friend, even knowing it puts me in
danger. I think I also can help you, but I need the help of my friends to do
it."

"She's just trying to get away. She hates you just
like the rest! We should kill her now!" The demon obviously didn't
like where their conversation was going. "She'll tell this village of
me and the village will kill you!"

Ino noticed the older Gaara move to attack her. Turning to
the younger Gaara, she looked him right in the eyes. "I will help you. I
know someone that can seal away the demon for good. I just need to tell him so
he can help."

The older Gaara stopped as the younger Gaara's face grew
more determined. "Go, Ino-chan, I don't know how long I can hold him, but
please stay away. I couldn't bear it if he killed you."

As Ino's form dissolved, she shook her head as she smiled.
"I'll save you somehow; I won�ft lose my newest friend without a
fight."

As Ino came to, she noticed the sand had released her and
Gaara was holding his head as he screamed in pain. "Don't worry Gaara,
I'll find a way to help you!" Quickly she left. She had to get to Miko and
Jiraiya. They'd know how to help.

Shika collapsed onto his futon. After dinner, Naruto got him
to have a race with him, Lee, and Haku around Konoha, the entirety of Konoha,
for twenty laps. Naruto won by only half a second with Lee coming in second,
Haku was only five seconds behind Lee, and Shika lost out finishing seventeen
minutes behind Haku. 'It's not like I even expected to be close. They've
been training harder for longer and I tend to concentrate my training on my
chakra control and reserves.'

Kin smiled down at him while leaning over his prone figure.
"Shika-kun, do you want me to get you a shower ready? If not, I'm going to
take one."

Shika was too comfortable to move. "You can take yours
first, I just want to lay here for a while."

Shika noticed Kin hesitate and a blush cross her cheeks
before utterly surprising him. "We could always take a shower together, if
you want to."

Shika noticed she looked away while waiting for his answer,
and while he could feel his body was all for the idea, he just couldn't help
but think he'd be taking advantage of her. "Kin, are you sure? You
remember what Miko-sensei said about your seal. I don't want to take advantage
of you. Would the you from before the seal agree with this?"

Kin kneeled down next to him with her head bowed. "I, I
don't know if the old me would agree with this, but I know I do now."
Hiding her face from view, she continued. "I've done it before, but this
would be the first time I've wanted to."

Suddenly Shika remembered her fear of him raping her in the
forest. "You've been raped before, haven't you?"

Shika could see her head nod slightly before she continued.
"In the Village of Sound, it's not uncommon for the strong to take the
weak. Luckily, I had Tayuya to look after me but when she went out with the
rest of the Sound Five on missions it was horrible. Sometimes I was able to
hide or escape, but sometimes I wasn't so lucky." Shika could see the
tears falling to the floor as she continued. "I can also understand if you
don't want me because of this. I'm not sure anyone would want someone as used
and dirty as me." Kin was surprised when she felt Shika's lips against her
own. She was sure he would want nothing to do with her after she told him, but
here he was kissing her.

When Shika broke the kiss, he looked straight into her eyes.
"Kin, what happened to you was not your fault, nor do I think you�fre
'dirty' because of it. It must have taken a lot to tell me. You must understand
that the reason I hesitate to do those kinds of things with you is because I
don't want to be like the men in Sound. If I ever were to meet one of them in
person, I don't think I could stop myself from ripping out his soul."
Shika noticed a small smile grace Kin's face. She obviously liked the idea of
her tormenters�f deaths. "I also think we're too young for this. I mean,
we're only twelve. We'll have plenty of time for this later."

"Shika please let me do this. You've been so good to
me. No one has ever cared for me except for Tayuya, and with the upcoming
invasion, I can't help but think one of us won't make it." Kin could see
Shika thinking about her offer, so she decided to try and help him along by
gently rubbing his bulge as she took his lips.

Shika groaned as he felt her hand on his hardened dick. It
became increasingly hard to refuse her offer as she continued her sexual
assault. Giving in, he deepened the kiss as their tongues met. Shika was
surprised when Kin broke the kiss and pushed him down, but seeing her smirk and
the desire in her eyes he went along with it.

Kin crawled above Shika before gently brushing his face with
her left hand. "Let me do all the work. This is my gift to you so just sit
back and enjoy." Seeing him nod, she grinned. Running her hands down his
chest, she gripped the bottom of his shirt and pulled it off him. Once he was
free of his shirt, she kissed him as she ran her hands over his chest. He was
still a bit lanky, but she could feel the growing muscles under his skin.
Deciding that she too was overdressed, she removed her shirt to reveal her small
bust. She moaned into her masters�f mouth as she felt his hands run up her sides
and over her chest. She grinned inwardly as she moved her hands to remove his
pants. Sliding down his body, she pulled his cock from its restraints and gave
it a lick.

Shika groaned as Kin dragged her tongue around the head of
his member and down around his balls. His world suddenly contracted as she took
him into her velvety mouth and started to suck. He unconsciously bucked his
hips as she started a slow up and down movement. These new sensations were
really getting to him. He could feel that he would cum soon.

Looking down at the sight of Kin working on his cock, he
groaned as he tried to warn her. "K-Kin, if you k-keep this up I-I'll cum
so-oon." He saw her look up at him and grin as she sucked hard, causing
his head to fall back. She seemed to double her efforts and he soon fell victim
to her mouth.

Kin could feel herself hit her peak when he exploded into
her waiting mouth and she devoured his seed. Hearing his cries of pleasure only
fueled her own as her body was wracked with its own bliss.

As they both came down, Shika noticed Kin was still licking
and fondling his cock. "Kin, that was amazing. Thank you."

Kin's grin looked absolutely predatory. "We're not done
yet. That was just the warm up." That statement and look alone could have
brought him back up without her helpful hands. It was at this point that he
noticed that Kin was completely nude, as was he. As Kin kissed and licked her
way back up his body, he let the question of when this happened go to savor the
sensations his lover was giving him. As their mouths met, he could feel her rub
his hardness with her outer lips.

As she rose from their kiss, he could feel her hand guide
him to her as she stared down into his eyes. "It's now time for the main
course." And with those words, she took him to the base. His mind was
reeling from the indescribable pleasure that their union brought him as she
slowly drew herself up only to plunge back down.

Kin was caught unprepared. It had never felt like this. This
was like drowning in a sea of ecstasy. Was this the difference that love made?
Even the times her rapist's had brought her traitorous body to orgasm, it could
never compare with just having Shika within her. As she rode Shika, she gasped
when she felt him capture one of her nipples in his mouth as he pinched and
rubbed its twin. She cried out when he met her trusts with his own. She pulled
his mouth from her breast and kissed him deeply. Their writhing bodies continued their journey to the peaks
of heaven as they each silently whispered promises to be there for the other
always. And then it happened, Kin felt her insides melt as her orgasm hit her
only to be fueled more as Shika convulsed and filled her with his demonic seed.
Screaming each others names, they climaxed together.

They both fell to the futon gasping for air, but still
holding each other. There they lay for what seemed to be hours when a knock at
the door brought them both back to reality. Naruto's voice came through the
door. "Clan meeting starts in ten minutes. You might want to hurry and
wash up, Sarutobi and Jiraiya will be present."

Shika let out a sigh. "We'll be there, and thanks for
the heads up." Looking over, he could see she also realized that everyone
in the house most likely heard them. "Let�fs get cleaned up. While I
enjoyed it immensely, and look forward to doing it again if you want, I don't
really want to smell and look like we just got done having wild and passionate
sex in front of the Hokage."

Kin couldn't hold back her grin. "Oh, we'll be doing
this again, but you�fre right. After all, he agreed to my defecting to the Leaf
after the invasion." Getting a quick kiss before rising, she led him into
the bathroom. "Too bad we have to hurry or this could be a whole lot more
fun."

Shika grinned, "Maybe next time."

Ino hoped to any god that was listening that they would
agree to help her save Gaara. She had just finished telling the Hokage,
Jiraiya, Miko, and the rest of the Kitsune Clan about what she learned.

Jiraiya was the first to speak. "Can you tell me what
the seal looked like?"

Thinking back, she frowned. "Not really, most of it was
covered in sand, as if to block its effects." Seeing Jiraiya's frown
deepen, she tried to remember something. "If I had to guess, it was three
circles inside a big circle, but that's all I can say. I didn't get a good
enough view to read any of the markings."

Jiraiya sighed. "Well its better than nothing. From
your description, I'd say they used a three point elemental seal to contain
Shukaku."

Miko nearly choked on her tea, "That's like trying to
seal up a dam with a piece of chewing gum! It's a wonder he lasted this
long." Seeing Ino start to get even more worried, she turned to Jiraiya.
"Can you strengthen the seal? Or perhaps reinforce it with another?"

Every eye was on Jiraiya as he pondered the possibilities.
After a long mental debate, he sighed. "No, I'm afraid in its weakened
state that any attempt to do either would kill Gaara in the process and possibly
free Shukaku." Turning to a nearly hysteric Ino, he frowned. "I hate
to say this, but the only way to free him of his demon would be to kill him
while the seal still has the power to hold Shukaku at bay."

Ino rose from her seat as she slammed her fist into the
table. "You can't kill him! I made a promise I'd help him and, so help me,
I'll go back in there and fight the demon myself if I have to!"

Jiraiya rose and countered her argument. "Just so he
can see Shukaku kill you in person? That could be the final straw that releases
the demon! We can NOT let that happen!"

Soon almost everyone was in the debate. Miko, Anko, and
Sarutobi had to regrettably side with Jiraiya that he had to be killed to stop
Shukaku, while Naruto, Haku, and Hinata sided with Ino that there must be
something short of killing him that they could do. Kin refused to take a side
until Shika chose, but he seemed to be deep within his own thoughts.

The debate lasted for at least a half hour before Shika rose
to his feet. "Quiet! I purpose a third option." Seeing everyone quiet
down and look to him, he continued. "We can not kill him. It would be
against our very own moral code. In any other village he would be killed
without thought, but here in Konoha we value the individual as greatly as the
whole. We never leave our own behind, even at the sake of the mission! But we
also can not let Shukaku escape for he would kill many of our shinobi and
civilians in the fight to destroy him, so Shukaku needs to be killed."
Looking over to Ino, he smiled. "That is why I volunteer to remove
Shukaku's soul from the seal. If I'm right, it will leave Gaara unharmed and
the problem will be solved."

Miko was the first to object, if not the loudest.
"You're not strong enough to try something like that! A shard of
Orochimaru nearly completely exhausted you! This is an entire demonic soul
you're talking about! And not even a weak one, no you're going after Shukaku,
Lord of the Desert, and Bijou of the Tanuki Clan! Even if you do succeed, what
effect will it have on you? Do you know the effects of consuming the soul of
the truly damned might be? Let alone the amount of chakra he controls! We
Kitsune may be the strongest of the demon clans, but we are also one the more
virtuous! Shukaku is one of the most sadistic, treacherous, and down right evil
demons of the Bijou. Only the Orochi could out do him in pure villainy, and
he's almost as treacherous as the Neko, but no-one is as sadistic as him! Just
look at what he's doing right now! He constantly torments this boy by scaring
away everyone that'd befriend him, killing the ones that keep trying, and
forcing this boy to commit horrendous massacres and bathe in the blood of the
innocent!"

"AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO TRY! FROM WHAT I HEAR, I'M
LUCKY MY FATHER WAS ABLE TO SEAL KYUUBI AS WELL AS HE DID OR I'D BE JUST LIKE
HIM!" Bowing his head, Naruto continued with a voice that sent shivers
down everyone's spine and dared them to speak up. "Would you scream for my
death if our positions were reversed? Does not his innocence make any
difference in this? I can not and WILL not condemn someone for what is not
their sin!" He looked straight at Jiraiya. "Now, from what I
understand, there is no reason Gaara's seal can't be replaced."

Jiraiya frowned at his apprentice. "Don't you remember
the fact that one elemental seal can not be placed over another?! Add to that
the fact that only at least an eight element seal would be needed for the
purpose of holding the demon at bay and you come to the conclusion that nothing
can be done."

Naruto's smile could not be held back. "But the Shiki
Fuuin is not an elemental seal."

Both Jiraiya and Sarutobi paled at this before objecting.
"We will not let you sacrifice yourself for this! I will not let you
follow your father that way!"

The smile on Naruto's face turned absolutely devious.
"I wasn't planning on giving my soul as payment." He turned to Shika.
"Well, I hope that's not your price for this favor, though I'd have to say
I just might do it if it is anyway." Seeing Shikamaru smirk and everyone's
undivided attention on him, he explained. "The reason the Shiki Fuuin is
so strong is because it uses Shinigami's chakra to power the seal. While
Shikamaru is not Shinigami, his chakra has taken on the attributes of it. So,
if Shika can put out enough chakra to power the seal, Shukaku will be powerless
to fight Shika's attempt to consume him, thus leaving all that left over chakra
sealed within Gaara and Shika with a full tummy."

Jiraiya still had one last argument. "So Gaara is just
going to let Shika here waltz up and start drawing the intricate seals of the
Shiki Fuuin on him then watch as Shika begins to feed his chakra into it to
complete it?"

Naruto's face went back to being serious as he stared at
Jiraiya. "No I don't. I will have to use the Fuutaitoku:
Hankou Itashikata
(Seal Mastery: Sealing Method)."

What is Naruto talking about? What will happen to Gaara?
Will Orochimaru's invasion succeed? Will Shukaku give Shika gas? Find out in
the next chapter of ASLDM Chunin Exam Finals: Kickin' It Into High Gear!

OK so I'm back to a good writing pace. I have over 200
reviews now on FF alone! I'm glad to have so many people that enjoy me writing!
Oh and here's that clothing update!

Naruto: Black tee-shirt with long-sleeve mesh undershirt and
a metal bracer on his left arm. On his lower body are black shinobi pants with
combat boots. Over all this he wears a sleeveless black trench coat with the
kanji for 'Pariah' on the back. Strangely he doesn't were any shuriken or kunai
holsters anywhere on his person but his hitai-ate is tied tightly to his
forehead..

Haku: White blizzard-print battle dress slit waist high on
both sides with laced on sleeves for added mobility. Around her waist is a blue
ocean-print obi that holds her ninja-to horizontally behind her. She also wears
a mesh body suit and blue shinobi sandals. Hidden thru-out her clothing is
dozens of senbon and senbon holsters. She uses a black choker to attach the
hitai-ate plate to instead of a traditional headband.

Miko: Traditional Shrine Maiden attire of a deep red hakama
with a white kimono shirt and a red cord holding back her long white hair. On
her feet she wears tabi socks and geta sandals. Her katana is ever present on
her hip unless in her hand.

Shika: Black tee-shirt with long sleeve undershirt and a
black version of his utility vest adorn his torso while he wears black shinobi
pants and shinobi sandals on his lover body. On his right leg he keeps a kunai
holster and on his left hip is a utility pouch and his hitai-ate is tied to his
left arm.

Anko: Cannon except for a leather choker with a metal ring
attached to the front.

Hinata: Cannon except for the necklace of an angelic figure
protecting two foxes.

Everyone else is completely cannon as it comes to clothing.
Ok, now since that's done on to the reviews!

Phantom Kitsune: Try 'Training for the Job' it is one of the
few fics that do the Naru/Saku pairing well. Kage
Husha here – this is true. That is an excellent Naru/Saku fic�cand it�fs HUGE!
Over 66 chapters, so it�fs a good, long read! Zen- Actually it's been updated
recently. Its now up to 69 chapters!

mintfresh: Glad you liked the Dune reference! As for other
references to our culture, not so much. I'm kind of thinking of having Nara
Shikaku trying to emulate the 'Prana-Bindu' completely after reading the books,
but I'm on the fence about it.

SealingMaster: Fanworks huh. Damn I haven't updated there in
forever.... Opps! No problem on waiting to review. I usually wait until I have
a question or can bring something to the discussion. As for Orochimaru you'll
have to wait and see! As for this turning into Naru/Shika, you might not want
Kin hear you list Shika in a pairing that doesn't include her. RANTS! One a day
keeps the aneurysm away!

Violet Shadows: Shika will get tails and fox ears when he
reaches that level, he's just not there yet. Remember Haku was trained by a
Jounin since an early age and Naruto has his mothers�f bloodline to help his
training. With people improving at different speeds you�fre bound to end up with
power gaps between them.

WS: Glad you like the story! As for grammar, you sound like
my high school English teachers and I'll tell you what I told them. "I
understand you want my work to be in a grammatically correct form, but I
neither have the time nor patience to adhere to the idiosyncrasies of a
language I have such a complete and utter loathing of. While I do plan on
learning another language to use instead of English, until then I will continue
to use my bastardized and simplified version of said language. I will not curb
my ability to write a creative and meaningful work just to please you. And
while I enjoy writing, reading my own work ten times just to comb out errors is
not my job as a writer. That technically falls under the editor or beta (At the
time my friend Eli and now Kage Husha) so if you have a problem talk to
�gthem." And do you know what he did. He gave me an 89 on it saying my rant
wasn't quite "A" worthy, but was still good. Hurray for Hippy Liberal
English Teachers! – It�fs Kage Husha again�cWS, TRUST ME�cI know how bad his
grammar is, why do you think I volunteered to be his BETA? You want worse?
Check out The Person I Admire by
Gadalla Rune�cmakes me want to gouge out my eyes when I read it.

trulywicked: COOKIES! ::GLOMP:: As for Neji you'll have to
wait for the next chapter for that! As for Shika and Kin I think I answered
that one in this chapter!

Choaswizkid: COOKIES! Humm Ode flavor is surprisingly good!

spiritwolf30: Humm everyone in my story is currently
accounted for as far as pairing go. I have the full list but would like to keep
them under wraps as to make them a surprise. And believe me some of them are
going to be surprising while others just make sense when you think about it.

Thanks to the rest of my reviews, remember if you have
questions I just might answer them if I don't think the answer would give
anything away!
