(I’m thinking)
“I’m speaking”
Pairing: Hentai F/M - Naruko x Kimimaro
Last Time:
It seemed Naruko was making more friends to help her through what this world has in store for them … doesn’t mean Jade won’t worry about her, she always will…
XXXXXXXXXX
“what would you like to make for the party Naruko? We should do four recipes and do as much as we can using both ovens. The others are on the dessert committee ar baking too so there’s no need to rush” Jade told the blonde as the little girl sat at the table filled with cookbooks ready to help.
In two days a festival is being held. It’s a celebration for all the brave ninjas who have died in that year. A hot air balloon is flown up into the air for each soul that passed on and everyone parties until midnight. Jade and Naruko are part of the dessert committee this year. Though to be honest Jade was going to back out because she thought Naruko would prefer watching her first Festival of Passing, but her daughter loved the idea as much as baking. As a result they ended up here ready to begin baking.
“ummm … I know! Sugar cookies would be perfect and … the triple chocolate cake you made for me before … that apple cake and …” Naruko pouted as she couldn’t find another recipe she liked in the first recipe book and moved it to the side to look through the next book “Russian tea cakes!”
Jade clapped her hands excitedly “excellent choices! Let me see here …” she hummed as she opened the frig to take stock of what they had “we have chocolate chips, but not chocolate pudding or apples” she glanced in the pantry to see the flour and sugar next to the walnuts and cinnamon that goes in the tea cakes “we have a good amount of everything for starting sugar cookies or the tea cakes so which one would you like to start with?” Jade asked as she made a hand sign to create four shadow clones. One clone was to watch the oven, one clone was to help prepare and the last two were to keep track of the supplies and go buy more when they need it. The designated shopping clones went to get the things they didn’t have right away so they could start the apple and chocolate cakes later.
“sugar cookies!” Naruko exclaimed happily.
“alright! Go pick some cookie cutters” said Jade who gave Naruko the small basket of cookie cutters as her clones preheated the stacked ovens and got out the bowls and cookie sheets.
A bat cookie cutter was chosen. It was the unofficial symbol of the Village Hidden n the Cave after all. Unofficial is used to describe it because unlike most ninja villages Cave doesn’t have headbands and none of them wear any kind identifier. You would never be able to look at them and think they were from a certain village or even ninjas unless you fought them. They were truly hidden in a way especially from other ninja villages. Naruko also remembered that bats symbolize death and rebirth from class so she chose her other cookie cutters with that in mind.
A dragonfly cookie cutter to symbolize the afterlife and a butterfly shaped cookie cutter to represent change and life … that and these ones would be fun to decorate!
The clones melted some chocolate, got the sprinkles and pearl dust ready for decorating as Naruko and her mother made the dough. It was a double batch so it would make lots of cookies, but for a village they would need two more double batches. Thankfully with this assembly line they would crank out a lot very quickly. There was a little bump in the process when Naruko had trouble using the dragonfly …
The little blonde pouted as the antenna of the dragonfly cookie popped off when she tried to remove the dough from the cutter “this dragonfly is not working” she said.
Jade took the misshapen piece of dough and worked it back into the rest of the dough before rolling it back out “it’s a tricky shape. I’ll show you a trick” Jade channeled her chakra into the cookie cutter and pushed it in the dough. The chakra made the dough slide out so it kept the perfect dragonfly shape.
“Wow … that’s cool!” Naruko exclaimed in awe at he simple trick making Jade chuckle.
“it takes a lot of chakra control so why don’t I do the dragonflies for this batch and you do the bats and butterflies in the next batches, ok?” Jade asked as her clone set a cookie tray next to her.
“ok Mommy!” Naruko smiled and watched as four trays were filled with dragonflies and popped into the oven along with the last scraps of dough, which will be for a taste test once the baking was done. The shopping clones returned just as the cookies were pulled out of the oven and set to the side to cool. With the first batch of cookies made it was time for the next batch. As the clones began peeling and chopping the apples for the cake Jade mixed together the next ball of sugar cookie dough.
Little bat cookies filled the trays and then butterflies. Once all the sugar cookies were cooling they took a break for everything to be washed and so they could have some lunch. With everything cleaned Jade let Naruko decorate the cookies as she and her clones cranked out some apple cakes. That was fine with the little blonde because she loved decorating …
Colorful pearl dust was used to decorate the dragonflies. Sprinkles and pearl dust were on some of the butterflies while others were either left lain or drizzled with chocolate. The bats were pressed into the chocolate and given small round red or green or blue sprinkles for eyes. Only one more shopping trip and another dish washing had to be made before the last of the things needed to be done. The last things being the tea cakes and the chocolate cakes.
“Mommy I finished the cookies!” Naruko exclaimed excitedly.
Jade smiled as she looked at her daughter’s creations “you did beautifully Naruko! When the chocolate sets we’ll seal them away for the festivities” she kissed he top of Naruko’s head and chuckled as some sprinkles fell out of the blonde hair “we’re going to need a bath after this” she said as she brushed a few sprinkles and dust off the little girl’s clothes.
The last cakes were made quickly, but with each tea cake that was rolled out Naruko became more and more coated in powdered sugar or a cinnamon and sugar mix resulting in a very sweet little girl …
All the baked goods were allowed a chance to cool and sealed away in a scroll. the next morning Naruko and Jade made some homemade whipped cream and played around with some chocolate molds to make a lot of little candies before sealing those up to. They brought everything to the place where the festival …

Kakashi looked at the hokage hopefully “have you found any trace of her?”
“it has been months since she was taken … I’m sorry, but we haven’t. jiraiya went back into the field yesterday now that his injuries are healed so we might hear something” Sarutobi said sorrowfully as if he was truly sorry. Yes, he wanted the girl back, but he wanted to cover all his bases first so no one learns of his involvement.
“they aren’t looking hard enough!” Kakashi snapped, his fists clenched for a second before he forced himself to calm down “please hokage-sama, let me leave an search for Naruko”
“you have only been released from the hospital after a six month stay … your injuries were severe and the council expects you to be the sensei for Sasuke when he reaches 16 and is placed on a genin team … wait a few weeks so you are fully healed then you can leave, but I expect you to be back for Sasuke’s training” Sarutobi said trying to keep his ninja in the village a little longer.
The silver haired ninja sagged in defeat, but nodded “yes hokage-sama” he left with a slight limp. It has too long to not find anything. This worried him too much to take the hokage’s order seriously so he slipped into the destroyed section of the village to look for any clues.
The area that was destroyed by the bombs was mostly nice apartments and and few houses. Very few people were hurt since it was the weekend and most people were out, but the few who were home were badly hurt or killed. He never knew Naruko was anywhere near him, but he wasn’t surprised. She was Minato’s daughter so she must’ve been cared for and protected secretly in a nice place.
With that in mind he slipped into the construction zone and started looking for where Naruko may have lived …
However, after a few hours he couldn’t find even a trace. Something about this wasn’t making any sense. Why was the construction of the new buildings so far along? It shouldn’t be this far ahead if the investigation delayed everything and they had to investigate everything before rebuilding even if Naruko wasn’t involved.
“that demon bitch has been gone a long time … I bet she’s dead” one worker chuckled as if he found it funny. Kakashi stopped dead in his tracks under the suspension that the two men were standing on as they nailed boards to create a wall for the third story of a building.
Kakashi jumped up to the suspension platform to join the two workers “hello” he said cheerily with an eye smile before lifting his headband revealing his sharingan sending both men into a trance “who is the demon bitch?”
“Naruko Uzumaki” the workers both answered.
“where does she live?” Kakashi growled as his anger flared.
“the other side of town in the part of town that was abandoned after the demon’s attack” they said in a daze.
The ninja froze. That made no sense … Naruko was supposed nearby … otherwise why would the hokage tell him that the blasts were used to cover up the kidnapper’s trail? “how long has she been gone and why are you rebuilding so quickly?”
“the demon has been gone 8 months … we are rebuilding because the hokage insisted on it. The survivors needed homes any way” the workers answered.
That was all he needed to know. Kakashi released the men from the trance and left them confused and without any memory of what happened …
A few minutes passed and Kakashi found himself in the desolate part of town … where he found a shack someone was using as a shelter months ago … someone small who curled up in the small cot and ate sfcraps.
Did his sensei’s little girl live here? In a crumbling shack that had trash surrounding it and death threats painted on the walls? Why did the hokage lie to him?

“wow everything looks great Jade” Mary, Sana’s mother, said happily as she looked at all the desserts at the dessert tables “which did you and Naruko do?” as she checked the tent over the dessert tables.
Jade pointed to the desserts she and her daughter did “apple cakes, chocolate cakes, tea cakes and sugar cookies. We also made the whipped cream and those chocolate candies”
Naruko popped up from under the tale with a smile “I helped decorate the cookies!”
“you did!” Mary exclaimed “they look amazing!” Naruko blushed at the praise and returned to the spot under the table where she and Sana were playing a game of checkers that used dark and white chocolate candies instead of real game pieces.
”you ladies out did yourselves” Yumi smiled as she and Yobaba joined the festival preparations.
“thank elders” all the women bowed
Yobaba smirked as she looked at the table the girls were under “you trouble makers better not eat all those checker pieces before dinner”
Yumi rolled her eyes “it’s the Passing Festival. Eating and indulging is allowed. Let the girls have some fun Yobaba”
Mary and Jade blinked and looked under the table as the elders walked away and they found the little thieves. The mothers knew the girls were playing checkers, but didn’t know about the swap in game pieces for sweeter replacements “you can eat your winnings after dinner, but not too much or you will get sick” Jade smiled in amusement as Mary giggled.
Both girls at least looked a bit ashamed at getting caught red handed “yes mommy” they both said.
An hour later the festivities started “Naruko, Sana, come on, Queen Reine is about to say her speech and launch the hot air balloons”
“coming!” the little girls collected their sweet winnings and left with their mothers. The speech was beautiful. It named those who were killed during the past year and wished that they found peace in the afterlife. With that the large colorful hot air balloons were launched into the sky. Lanterns or balloons would be another way to represent the soul passing, but Cave wanted a way to control the message so that someone outside the village to find a bunch of paper lanterns and think ‘where did all of those come from?’. Hot air balloons can at least be guided back to the ground …
The feast started soon after the balloons landed, but Naruko wanted to get back to the dessert table to get the checker board so she could play with Sana. Right after dinner she might not be able to get it since the dessert table will get crowded. When she got there she noticed a group of three blue spiders, one big one with a body the size of a quarter and two much smaller ones though they were all the same type of spider, perched on a plain butterfly cookie “silly spiders you’ll get squished if someone saw you. I’ll move you to a safe place” she slowly picked up the cookie with its passengers and outside of the tent to put the cookie under a bush.
The little girl made sure the spiders were hidden before going to get her checker board and checker pieces …

“I just realized that I never thanked you Queen Reine, for finding more information on Naruko’s father. It made her happy to know about him. Of course I’m not letting her train in those techniques that Minato Namikaze was known to use until she’s older” Jade said gratefully with a bow.
The queen chuckled “it was no problem. You already deduced that the forth hokage was the one who sealed the demon fox in her and we knew she was a real Uzumaki so it was a simple means of looking back through some reports. Konoha did hide the fact that they had an Uzumaki quite well, but there was news of forth hokage being married. With the fact that the woman disappeared about nine months before the nine tail’s release combined with what we learned about the seal’s weakness during pregnancy from some of Naruko’s scrolls it was an easy conclusion to come to … though it did take awhile to find those reports on his jutsus … you know, if he uses seals like his wife Naruko may have another inheritance waiting for her”
Jade pondered that idea for a second “now that makes sense … I’ll tell her that, but I don’t like the idea of her going into that place without me” Jade muttered as the queen smiled in amusement. It was time for dinner so Jade went to look for her daughter. The day was warm and perfect for the outdoor festivities. She enjoyed the pleasant breeze as she went towards the tent that protected the desserts “Naruko … did you get your board and the real game pieces? … Naru-“ Jade paled as she turned the corner and saw three blue spiders on her daughter’s pant leg. The blue round bodies and long black legs pointed to a very deadly species “Naruko don’t move” she said with a deadly serious tone.
“Mommy?” Naruko felt a sliver of fear at her mother’s tone and that fear intensified as she felt something jump onto her neck. Jade didn’t have any weapons with her so she took a knife from the dessert table …
“we don’t mean her any harm” Jade froze with the blade of her knife less than a inch away from killing the spider on the blonde’s neck. The small voice came from the biggest of the spiders.
Jade’s eyes narrowed and she backed off “I see … your chakra is strong unlike other spiders … you’re summons” she said with relief, which made Naruko relax too.
“actually if she wants to sign our scroll we would be her familiars. Would you little one? Please, we really like your chakra and you’re nice” the biggest spider said as it reached up with its leg to tickle the girl’s neck.
Naruko giggled “ok” a scroll appeared in a puff of smoke. Naruko signed in blood and the scroll disappeared. The two smaller spiders cheered and for some reason took a spot on the girl’s earlobe to hang from. The biggest spider hopped onto her head and pulled back the messy bangs to pin them back.
Once the blue spiders tucked their legs in they looked no different than a pair of blue earrings and a matching hairclip. Well … this will be fun to explain to her friends …
