Yo!
What's up lads! It's been a long while since I updated this story.
Fortunately, you guys don't have to wait any longer because the chapter is here.
Courtesy of me of course. Though I musk ask you save the applause for later.
Now, without further ado, let's…
…
BEGINNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!
…
My bad.
Start:
The doors to Selah's office swung open, parting as though the famed Red Sea had been split, revealing a vision so captivating it could halt the world in its tracks. Out stepped a woman of utmost grace and beauty, her presence radiating with an ethereal glow that seemed to light up the entire hallway. Naruto, standing alone in the quiet corridor, felt his breath catch for a moment, though his composed demeanor remained intact. His eyes widened slightly, taking in the sight before him as Selah emerged, her beauty undeniable, like a goddess stepping out of a dream.
She wore a stunning velvet gown, a deep, mesmerizing blue that mirrored the darkest hues of the twilight sky.
It hugged her form with a grace and sensuality that seemed to make the fabric itself sing. The material shimmering in the low light, casting soft reflections off its surface as it clung perfectly to her curves, accentuating every inch of her silhouette.
The dress flowed from her shoulders to her ankles with a slit that boldly teased at her femininity, showing just a glimpse of her perfectly shaped leg. From the gentle arch of her foot, peeking from beneath the hem, to the femininely sculpted calf that disappeared into the slit, leading to a pale, meaty thigh that made Naruto's mouth go dry.
His eyes, though captivated by her exposed leg, couldn't help but wander further up, to where the dress clung to her wide and broad hips, really emphasizing just how healthy and alluring Selah was, and perfectly suited to her considering the kind of rear she possessed.
One that could drive a priest to go mad with lust.
Naruto knew from many… memorable memories that Selah had a fat, enormous ass.
While he was no Jiraiya back in his first life, even he was hard pressed to look away when faced with all that goodness.
But coming back to topic
And her waist, so delicate and slim, especially when compared to the lust-worthy, jaw-dropping hips of hers, tapered upwards before giving way to the stunning orbs of her chest.
The blue velvet pressed against her generous and large breasts, framing them perfectly in a way that suggested elegance without sacrificing the boldness that she naturally carried with her.
It was impossible to look away, yet Naruto, ever the gentleman, forced his gaze upward, yet with some difficulty, before his gaze finally landed on a face that was, without a doubt, one of the loveliest and most stunning visages in all of creation.
To those plump pouty pink lips framed by delicate cheekbones, the cute button nose that lay atop, the gentle curve of her jaw, those large and enchanting amethyst orbs that blinked repeatedly as they met his.
Everything about Selah's face was seducing and bewitching.
As mentioned before, it was one of the loveliest and most stunning visages in all of creation.
And such a gorgeous visage was only made much more damningly attractive as her crimson red hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall of garnet-shaded fire, contrasting beautifully with the midnight blue of her dress while emphasizing the facial features.
…
A single lock of red had fallen slightly out of place, brushing against her cheek. Selah, catching Naruto's gaze, blushed softly, her cheeks dusted with a light pink as she nervously tucked the stray strand behind her ear.
The simple gesture was unexpectedly endearing, showing a side of her that was rarely revealed — a moment of shyness from the usually confident and affectionate woman.
Naruto allowed himself a moment to admire the full effect, his gaze lingering on her as if committing every detail to memory. The soft glow of her skin, the gentle blush on her cheeks — it was all too captivating. His mind briefly went blank as he struggled to form words, though the small smile tugging at his lips betrayed his thoughts.
Selah caught his eye again and, though her cheeks remained pink, a teasing smile tugged at her lips as confidence surged back into her. "I must say," she began, her voice a mixture of playful and soft, "I like your reaction."
Naruto's lips twitched into a grin, his voice smooth and warm. "How could I not react like this when faced with something so beautiful?" he replied, his words genuine, though still carrying that familiar touch of charm. His gaze softened, the teasing fading into sincerity as he added, "You look... incredible, Selah."
Her blush deepened at his words, and she found herself momentarily caught off guard. Tucking another strand of hair behind her ear, she looked down briefly before her confidence returned. "Well, you certainly know how to make a girl feel special," she murmured, her voice quieter than before.
Naruto's grin remained, though he stepped closer, closing some of the distance between them. "You are special," he said, his tone softer but no less sincere. "I've always thought so."
The smile dulled a little as regret rose in his gaze. "But much to my shame, I didn't have the best way to show it back then." He exhaled softly, allowing a quiet moment to enter in before he gazed back at with a strong but subtle confidence, his smile brightening once more.
"But that was from a time so long ago. I've changed since then, and…" His cheeks tinted a bit pink at his next admission. "I want to show you just how much you mean to me."
Oh no.
Selah felt the heat of a thousand suns strike her cheeks and entire body as she blushed hard.
Why did he have to be so charming with his words!?
She giggled, the noise a mix of joy, nervousness, and a bundle of other emotions that she herself could not identify. "I'm happy to hear that." she admitted happily, her complexion returning back to a healthy looking pale as the seconds rolled until she was free of the accursed blush.
He smiled, and Selah allowed herself to fully admire that smile that she so deeply cherished and missed.
Naruto looked so, so, so handsome tonight.
Her eyes, having already thoroughly explored the vision of male attractiveness that was her childhood best friend when he too was lost in her appearance, began to wander all over him attentively for the second time for the night.
Starting from the bottom of Naruto's figure. He stood before her in a pristine black tuxedo, the cut of the suit tailored to perfection. The material hugged his broad shoulders and strong arms in a way that emphasized his muscular build, while the crisp white shirt beneath provided a stark contrast. The tux's sleek, clean lines smoothed out his already sharp features, giving him an air of sophistication and undeniable handsomeness.
Her gaze traveled upwards, taking in how the jacket draped over his chest and torso, the lines of his body clear beneath the fine fabric. His physique, a balance of strength and elegance, only added to the overall allure he exuded tonight.
The tuxedo emphasized every detail of his form, from the slight narrowing at his waist to the way it rested against his thighs, perfectly complementing his powerful yet refined appearance.
Selah's eyes lingered on his tie for a moment, a small frown pulling at her lips, before her gaze trailed back up to meet his eyes. Naruto raised a brow, curious as to what had snagged her attention.
With a slow, deliberate saunter, her hips swayed gently with each step, Selah made her way toward him, closing the already short gap between them to begin with, until she stood just a foot away, the soft scent of her perfume intoxicating his senses.
Her delicate fingers reached up, brushing against the silk of his tie as she tutted lightly. "You're almost perfect," she said with a teasing lilt, her eyes gleaming as she toyed with the tie that had been just more than slightly off-centre. "But this little thing was bothering me. all these years, and you still don't know how to tie a tie properly?"
"Tch, tch." She shook her in faux displeasure, a playful frown plastered on her features.
Naruto chuckled, a sheepish grin breaking across his face. "I gave up learning how to do this properly." he admitted, watching as her hands expertly adjusted the tie. He stood still, allowing her to fix it with an amused look in his eyes, appreciating the brief closeness. "That better?"
The queen took a step back, giving the tie one last glance before nodding in approval. "Much better," she said, her tone playful but warm. "Now you're officially presentable."
The blonde's grin turned sly as he leaned in slightly, his eyes gleaming with a mischievous glint. "You know," he began, his voice low and smooth, "if I'd known fixing my tie would get me this close to you, I would have messed it up on purpose."
Selah's lips curled into a teasing smirk, her eyes narrowing slightly as she met his gaze. "Oh? Is that so?" she replied, her voice equally soft but with an unmistakable edge of playfulness. "Then I suppose I should start watching out for 'accidental' wardrobe malfunctions, shouldn't I?"
"If it helps my case, this time, it wasn't on purpose."
"This time?" She raised a curious and intrigued eyebrow before she shook her head while chuckling. "Honestly, making a queen of all people fix your tie. Very inappropriate."
"Well, we can't have this kind of impression, can we?" Naruto winked playfully before he extended his arm toward her. "May I have a chance at proving my worth, my lady?" He asked, his voice smooth with just a hint of teasing charm.
Selah pretended to consider his offer for a moment, her eyes narrowing slightly in mock thought before she gave him a smile that was equal parts teasing and genuine. "Well, since I'm a very benevolent ruler..." she trailed off, slipping her arm through his, their closeness feeling both familiar and exciting.
"I expect you to show me a wonderful time." Selah stipulated both playfully and seriously.
Naruto only grinned in response. "Yes ma'am."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The aquarium stretched before them, a world of shimmering blue and undulating light. The entire place had a serene, almost magical atmosphere, with the soft glow of the illuminated tanks casting gentle reflections across the tiled floor. It was as though they had stepped into another realm, one beneath the waves, where silence reigned and the only sound was the soft hum of water moving through the exhibits.
Selah was in awe as she and Naruto walked arm in arm through the aquarium. Her gaze flitted from one tank to another, captivated by the array of marine life that danced gracefully behind the glass.
She couldn't help but be overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of it all.
And it was quiet and peaceful. A rare commodity as aquariums were always bustling with people.
But not this time, the entire place was empty, not a single soul besides the two of them as Naruto had booked the entire mall just for their evening together. Something the devil queen was grateful for as it allowed her to fully enjoy the time she'd get to spend with the man she loved without prying eyes looking their way.
Her gaze flitted from one fish to another, the tanks illuminating the dark space with an ethereal blue glow. Schools of brightly colored fish darted through the water, their scales shimmering like jewels.
It was magical, in every sense of the word. The calming hues of blue, green, and silver danced across the room, creating a world that seemed almost too beautiful to be real.
The aquarium's layout was intricate, with winding paths and archways that led them through a journey of the ocean's wonders. They passed beneath a glass tunnel, the water curving overhead, where sharks and stingrays swam above them with graceful ease. Selah tilted her head up, watching as a group of sleek sharks glided effortlessly through the water.
"It's breathtaking," Selah finally murmured, her voice quiet as if she didn't want to break the peace of the moment. Her eyes were wide as they darted from one tank to the next, absorbing every beautiful detail.
Naruto glanced at her, watching the way the soft light from the tanks danced across her features, highlighting the wonder in her eyes. "Yeah, it really is," he agreed softly. "I can't even remember the last time I was in a place like this."
They paused in front of a particularly large tank filled with colorful coral and exotic fish, each one more vibrant than the last. Selah let out a small laugh as a particularly curious fish pressed its face against the glass, its round eyes staring back at her before darting off into the coral reef.
"The last time I was in an aquarium," Selah began, her voice thoughtful, "was with Rias. I'd forgotten how lovely it is to be surrounded by all this."
Naruto smiled gently, guiding her to the next exhibit as they continued their slow exploration of the place. "I imagine Rias must've loved this."
"She did," Selah confirmed, a warm smile on her face. "She's always been fascinated by things like this, nature in general. We spent hours here, just walking and talking. It's easy to lose track of time in a place like this."
They continued through the aquarium, their conversation light and easy. They spoke about everything from their childhood memories to the smaller moments they'd shared over the years, the conversation flowing as naturally as the water around them.
Though they had been separated by two centuries, one in Naruto's case, they still connected so easily, all those years not putting a dent in the affection and care that the shinobi and redhead felt for one another.
Proving that even time itself was incapable of putting a gap between the two childhood friends, and now, soon to be lovers.
"So," Selah asked as they stood before the final exhibit, a massive tank filled with colorful tropical fish. "What have you been up to during the two centuries you were gone?" She asked the question with a soft smile, though there was a hint of pain and longing in her eyes, wanting to fill in the gaps of the time they'd lost.
Naruto, perceptive as he was, noticed instantly, and resolving to fix that and put a happier smile on her face instead of a sombre one, grinned mischievously as he turned his entire torso to her. "Well, I could give you the quick version," he started, his tone light but with a hint of teasing. "Or I could make it more interesting."
Oh?
Selah raised a brow, intrigued but cautious. "Interesting how?"
The shinobi's grin widened, the mischievous spark in his eyes brightening. "I'll tell you everything tonight… if you can beat me in the arcade."
The devil queen blinked, processing his words before her lips curled into a victorious and cocky smirk. "The arcade? Really?"
"Yup. If you win, you get all the details. If I win, well…" Naruto trailed off, his expression smug, leaving the end of his sentence to her imagination.
Selah crossed her arms as she tilted her head, giving him a playful glance. "And what happens if you win, hmm?"
In response to her question, he brought up his hands and placed them on her waist, before gently bringing her into him and eradicating the small gap of space that had existed between them.
Now pressed together, her chest on his torso, his arms wrapped around her, with Selah looking up to him, looking vulnerable but with her gaze full of trust and adoration, Naruto decided that the curvaceous redhead couldn't look any more irresistible and enchanting than she was now.
Filled to the brim with thoughts that would make his Godfather from his second life proud, Naruto leaned toward her ear, his breath warm against her skin. The words he spoke were for her alone, his voice low and smooth, carrying a teasing yet intimate tone. Though the words themselves were inaudible to anyone but her, they had an immediate effect.
Selah's breath hitched sharply, her entire body instantly reacting to his words.
Her gaze became glazed over, her cheeks turning a deep shade of pink as she melted at his indecent yet highly exciting… ideas. Her lips parted as though to respond, but for a moment, no words came out.
Satisfied with the reaction he had drawn out of her, Naruto leaned back just enough to observe her expression, the smugness practically radiating from him. "So… do we have an accord?"
That snapped her out of excitement-induced shock. She took a moment to compose herself, still blushing yet somehow brimming with confidence.
"I accept your terms, we have an accord" she declared, her voice strong and clear, though there was a faint tremble of excitement still lingering underneath. A competitive fire flickered in her eyes as she added with a playful smirk, "And don't think I'll go easy on you. I plan to wipe the floor with you."
Naruto snickered, finding her fierce determination amusing. "We'll see about that," he replied, his tone dripping with confidence, a hint of teasing laced in his words.
Naturally, the way he sounded so condescending… His reaction only served to irritate Selah further, a small vein appearing on her forehead as she smiled sweetly—a smile that promised vengeance.
He gestured with his arm, leading them out of the serene, otherworldly atmosphere of the aquarium and into the more lively and colorful arcade nearby. The neon lights of the arcade flashed brightly in the distance, the hum of the various machines just barely reaching their ears.
And like the aquarium, the arcade too was empty, pretty much the entire mall was rented, the perks of being rich and all that.
Not even any staff was there!
But that was just like how the queen liked it.
As they approached the entrance, Selah tilted her head slightly, curiosity piqued. "What exactly do you have in mind?" she asked, eyeing the arcade warily but with amusement.
Naruto's response was a wicked grin, one that promised mischief. He said nothing for a moment, simply leading her toward the corner of the arcade until they came upon the attraction he had in mind—Crash Karts. The brightly colored bumper cars were parked in a wide-open area, surrounded by a metal barrier. The karts were sleek and shiny, each one looking ready for chaos.
Selah stopped in her tracks when she saw it, her eyes widening slightly before she broke into laughter. "Crash Karts?" she exclaimed between giggles, her hand coming up to her mouth. "That's your big idea?"
The blonde's grin only grew smugger. "Scared, Selah?" he teased, a playful glint in his eyes. He tilted his head challengingly, folding his arms as if daring her to back out.
The laugh died on Selah's lips as her expression shifted from amusement to indignation.
A small vein pulsed on her forehead, her eyes narrowing dangerously even as she kept her sweet smile. "Oh, you're going to regret saying that," she replied, her voice dripping with honey. She pointed toward the bumper cars. "Get in there. Now."
Naruto's eyes widened in mock terror, raising his hands in surrender before laughing. "Alright, alright." He turned toward the bumper cars, the mischievous glint in his eye returning as he cracked his knuckles. "But you asked for it."
With a swift motion, Naruto formed a quick hand seal, creating ten shadow clones, each of them grinning as they jumped into the empty karts, immediately claiming their spots and revving their engines.
Selah blinked, taken aback by the sudden appearance of so many clones. "Of course, you're going to cheat," she muttered with a half-exasperated smile.
"Cheat? I'm just evening the playing field," Naruto countered with a shrug, hopping into his own kart, the engine roaring to life beneath him. He turned to her with a grin. "Come on, Queen. Let's see what you've got."
Selah's eyes narrowed with determination. She sauntered over to one of the remaining karts, her hips swaying as she did, with Naruto allowing himself the luxury of enjoying the view, and slid into the driver's seat, her fingers curling around the wheel with an air of confidence.
She glanced over at Naruto and his army of clones, cracking her neck dramatically before gripping the steering wheel tighter.
"You're going to regret this," she said sweetly, though the look in her eyes promised utter devastation.
Naruto's grin widened, the thrill of the competition already coursing through him. "I'm shaking," he teased.
The two of them locked eyes, the tension between them palpable and charged with excitement. A playful rivalry had always simmered beneath the surface of their friendship, but now, with the stakes set and the challenge accepted, that rivalry was about to explode into a full-blown battle of wills. Selah wasn't one to back down, and Naruto… well, he was always up for a challenge.
The countdown began, the lights above the karts blinking in rhythm to signal the start.
"Three…" Naruto revved his engine, his clones following suit, their grins mirroring his own.
"Two…" Selah rolled her shoulders, her muscles tensing in preparation, her focus narrowing onto the path ahead.
"One…" The tension thickened, the air crackling with anticipation.
"Go!"
The karts shot forward, engines roaring as the competitors surged into action. But this wasn't about speed, it wasn't about finishing first—this was a battle of survival. The objective was to outlast, to ram, bash, and outmaneuver the others until you were the last one standing.
Selah's eyes gleamed with fierce determination as she immediately swerved to the side, dodging a clone that had veered toward her right. She gritted her teeth, her focus sharp as she scanned the chaotic landscape of the bumper car arena. The neon lights above flickered in rhythm with the sound of engines revving and tires screeching across the floor.
Naruto, naturally, was a master of chaos. His clones had scattered in all directions, zigzagging across the arena like wild animals, attempting to box Selah in at every corner. A few clones immediately turned their karts toward the center, intending to overwhelm her.
Selah smirked, her competitive spirit kicking in full force. "Not today, boys."
With a quick jerk of the wheel, she dodged one clone, slamming into another's side, sending it careening into the barrier with a satisfying crash. The clone spun out comically, the kart flipping slightly as it hit the edge of the arena. Selah could hear Naruto's real voice laughing in the distance, clearly enjoying the sight.
She wasn't going to let up though—this was only the beginning.
Another clone came hurtling toward her, aiming for her left side. She slammed on the gas and swerved just in time, narrowly avoiding the collision. But the clones were relentless, regrouping faster than she anticipated.
Naruto himself was hanging back, watching with amusement as his copies did most of the work, clearly testing her limits.
"You're letting them do the dirty work, Naruto?" Selah called out, her voice echoing through the arena as she circled one of the clones, preparing to make her move.
Naruto's voice, smooth and teasing, came from behind her. "Gotta see if you can handle the warm-up first, Selah."
She snorted in response but remained silent and otherwise, attentive.
Good thing too as she turned sharply, dodging a surprise attack before she retaliated by maneuvering around and bashing into the side-rear end of the clone's vehicle, causing it to spin into the corner of the arena.
All the while the clone screamed dramatically before he crashed onto the barrier, then disappearing in a puff of smoke, and Selah couldn't help but smile victoriously.
One down.
But this was only the beginning.
The remaining clones fanned out across the arena, trying to corner her, their identical grins adding a layer of absurdity to the whole thing. Selah weaved in and out of the chaotic battlefield, her kart expertly dodging and slamming into the clones whenever an opportunity arose. She rammed into another one, sending it careening off to the side, crashing into the wall and disappearing with a puff.
"Two down," she muttered under her breath, a triumphant grin spreading across her face.
But just as she was getting ready to take down another, something unexpected happened. One of Naruto's clones tried to take her by surprise from the right, speeding toward her. She swerved, ready to counter, but instead of hitting her, the clone missed its mark and slammed straight into another clone.
For a second, there was silence.
Then:
"You idiot! What the hell are you doing?" the first clone barked, glaring at his unintended victim.
The second clone rubbed his head, groaning, "You ran into me! I was supposed to take her out from this side!"
Before Selah could make her next move, the situation escalated.
The first clone, clearly not amused, pointed accusingly. "No, you were in the wrong position! You ruined the plan you fucking dumbass!"
"What plan?!" the second clone shot back. "You don't even have a plan! You no good, worthless ape!"
Selah's eyes widened as she watched in disbelief. The two clones were now full-on arguing, their karts spinning in circles as they bickered with each other. She took a moment to appreciate the absurdity of the situation—Naruto's clones turning against each other, bickering like children.
A third clone, trying to intervene, shouted, "Hey! Calm down, we're supposed to be focusing on her!"
Unfortunately, this only added fuel to the fire.
"You want some of this too?!" the first clone yelled, ramming his kart into the third, who was now caught in the crossfire.
Selah, gripping her wheel, broke out into loud fits of laughter as the "clone war" broke out in front of her.
It was absolute chaos. Instead of focusing on taking her down, the clones had turned on each other, ramming their karts into one another with reckless abandon. One clone had even flipped his kart entirely, arms flailing in the air before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
The original Naruto, groaned from across the arena. "Oh, for the love of—guys! You're ruining the whole strategy!"
"Strategy?!" one of the clones shouted before ramming into another. "I've had it with your strategies!"
The entire scene was ridiculous.
Clones poofed left and right.
Selah couldn't stop laughing though, tears escaping her eyes as the absurdity of the situation was too much.
From across the arena, Naruto rubbed his temple, nursing the migraine that so desperately wanted to appear from absorbing the experiences of his clones.
When clones dispelled, he didn't just gain their memory.
No, no.
The emotions came with it too.
He sighed as he held the bridge of his nose. "This is a disaster."
Selah, still giggling airily, flashed him a grin, slowing her kart just enough to call out, "I thought you had everything under control." She called out between wheezes of laughter.
He chuckled, shaking his head in disbelief. "I did. Until my own troops mutinied."
Fucking dumbasses.
The redhead, finally managing to control her laughter, raised a brow, smirking at the carnage. "So… what now? Finally ready to take me on?"
Naruto grinned. "I suppose so, I still don't see you winning though."
Whether intentional or not, his words caused Selah's competitive spirit to flare again as she scowled. "You are so dead."
She revved her engine, before the kart bolted forward with maddening speed.
Likewise, the seventh Hokage didn't hesitate. He gunned his kart forward, heading straight for her.
The aftermath of this battle… might be revealed next chapter.
Muaahahahahhaha.
End.
Hope you all enjoyed the chapter.
The date is not yet finished as we'll see a continuation the chapter after this one.
The crash kart was a real game in an arcade I used to go a long time ago, if you guys get the chance, you really need to try it out.
It's pretty fun. But it can also get very competitive quickly.
Anyway, take care lads! I'll see you all on the next update!
Peace.
