Friendly spar and First kiss

[[[ Present Day - Year 77 ]]] - {Age of Naruto = 12}

[[[ Naruto's Apartment ]]]

"What are you thinking about?" Kitsune sat down beside Naruto. "Is it about the girl with the curse mark?"

Seeing Naruto's change in expression, Kitsune patted his shoulder with her lips curled up. "Don't tell me you've fallen in love with her?"

"No," he retorted. "I was just thinking about the curse seal.

"Are you sure?" She looked at him dubiously.

"Don't dwell too much on the details, okay?"

"Hmph, whatever. I'm going to the seal again."

Kitsune then disappeared from Naruto's sight. It almost looked like how Obito's Kamui absorbed things.

Naruto had a wry smile upon seeing her antiques. 'Would it kill you, to be honest, at least once?'

Throughout these years, both of them have been getting closer than ever. Aside from the times he was sparring with his friends, she always helped him practice.

Whether it was Ninjutsu, Bikijutsu, Fuinjutsu, Taijutsu, or anything else for that matter, she was a master of everything.

Naruto especially liked Taijutsu training with Kitsune since they had to get 'physical' when practising.

He also helped Tenten from time to time with her bikijutsu and fuinjutsu by giving her pointers. Now, they were closer than ever. If put into worlds, close enough to kiss each other.

But both of them tacitly agreed to focus on their training for now and go further only after they both graduate. However, he would still feel her up occasionally, which she accepts with a blush.

Although he took satisfaction from it as a cultured man, he was also injecting his six-path chakra into her in small amounts.

He couldn't let a future woman of his be weak. Could he now?

With Naruto's help, her chakra reserves were quite large compared to the average ninja. Her weapon mastery was also leagues away from herself in the past timeline.

[[[ Flashback – 2 months ago ]]]

"Watch out!" Tenten yelled while waving her Kusarigama and aiming for a weak spot in Naruto. It was a weapon made with a sickle attached to a chain. It looked like a black blur rotating around her.

Seeing the Kusarigama approaching him, Naruto bent 90 degrees to the back, barely avoiding it.

"Phew"

Just When he thought he had managed to dodge it, another sickle came towards his right leg. Seeing this, he jumped out of the way by rolling to the side.

But what he didn't expect to see were exploding tags stuck to the last sickle. It was too late to do anything. So Naruto could only brace himself as he got blown away.

He was not going to let Tenten attack him continuously, either. Just before he was blown, several kunai made their way towards her at bottleneck speed. She knew that she would not be able to escape in time and quickly summoned a metal fan using her fuinjutsu, successfully deflecting the kunai. Yet losing the fan in the process.

Taking this chance, Naruto quickly closed the gap between them as he picked up a staff she summoned while fighting earlier.

"Here I come," Naruto said rhythmically like some horror movie actor.

He then targeted her shoulder, which she was exposing.

Having no choice, Tenten quickly summoned her three-way staff and blocked his incoming attack, only to feel like she was getting hit by a huge boulder. She tried to throw him off but to no avail. It didn't seem like he was going to let her go.

Suddenly she remembered the water that she had stored in the river. She quickly rolled back, took out her scroll, and released it in the face of Naruto.

"Take this..." Tenten smiled while activating the seal.

Although Naruto knew she was unpredictable, he never expected she would use water as a means of defence. 'Hmmm…quite clever.'

But just as he was about to get washed away, he promptly grabbed Tenten's arms, dragging her down with him. When the water finally washed away back to the river, both were drenched, and she was on top of him.

'I may have a chance to win if I use that.'

Knowing that she couldn't make it out while fighting at close quarters, she threw the senbon she had hidden in her mouth towards his face.

"No, you don't."

Naruto responded by simply turning his head away and pinning her to the ground, reversing their positions.

"I lost," Tenten said with a sad face while looking at Naruto, who was on top of her. "Again"

The last part was barely audible. But how could Naruto miss it?

<Naruto's Pov>

I looked at Tenten, who was pinned under me. She had a pouting face and a look of injustice in her. I couldn't help but smile, seeing how cute she was.

That's when I realized that her hair buns were nowhere to be found. Her wet hair was all over her face. Seeing this, I gently moved her hair to the right side, from the middle of her face and then the remaining hair to the left side, fully exposing the flustered Tenten.

She looked beautiful with her loose hair as well as her wet clothes, which stuck closely to her body, enhancing her curves.

"Beautiful," I muttered, looking at her tomato-red face as I was gently caressing her cheeks.

She also didn't resist my advances, and looked directly into my eyes.

*Huff* *Huff*

We both started breathing heavily as our heads got closer and closer until we felt each other's breath.

I knew what I wanted, and she knew that she wanted too.

Then Tenten put her hands around my head as she lifted her head, making our lips touch each other. I was surprised that she took the lead, but it wasn't an unwelcome surprise.

I happily responded by wrapping one of my arms around her waist while the other rested at the back of her head.

Feeling my actions, she held my head tighter. At first, it was awkward, as I had never kissed a girl before, but I slowly got used to it, as did Tenten.

It was not until after 5 minutes that we finally finished our kissing. I was still lost in that feeling even when we finished.

Calming down after some time, we both went to the river to wash the dirt off our clothes while intertwining our fingers. No words were spoken between us.

I knew that even if I did something more, Tenten would not refuse. But I wanted her first time to be special. So, we just washed our clothes and put them on after I dried them using my chakra manipulation, which managed to surprise Tenten.

"Can you teach me that too?" She asked with a red face, recalling what we had done before.

"Beat me first, then I'll teach you."

I said while pinching her nose.

"Keep your secrets; don't talk with me."

Saying that Tenen ran away. But I clearly knew that she was only saying it to escape from me.

How could I let her do that? Where is my goodbye kiss?

So I channelled some chakra to my feet and accelerated. In a second, I was in front of Tenten. She didn't even have time to react when I pulled her in for another kiss.

She tried to resist at first, but it vanished like it was never there as she started kissing me too.

"Idiot."

Tenten said after parting from my kiss.

After it was over, we talked with each other for a long time before parting. She shared many things with me as did I.

<Pov End>

That was a special fight for both Tenten and Naruto, as the fight led them to share their first kiss. But what Naruto didn't took into account was that Kitsune was watching the whole thing with an irritating feeling. She herself didn't know what it was.
