Naruto: The Prince of Lust

"Well, I'm all for hanging out and being friends," Naruto honestly tells her. "As for that other stuff, I still think you should be allowed to marry who you want, when you want."

"That's kind of you to say," Temari voices. "If you like, we can talk some more over lunch."

Turning to his Hokage, the elder nods his consent before Naruto tells her, "sure. Just let me check to see if the boss is available."

As he crosses his fingers, that statement nor the clone he creates make any sense to Temari. Additionally, the clone disappears almost immediately after he created it, prompting Kankurō to look at her for a hint of comprehension. Silence and confusion grow from the Suna-nin in the room for many long moments until Naruto startles and blinks like he's been pinched. This blond boy continues to surprise her as he sadly voices, "aw man. He definitely wants to meet but he's not in our dimension anymore."

NARUTO

The news with Temari was surprising, however, as Naruto traverses through the elevated majesty of Mount Myōboku, he was more enchanted than he had ever expected to be. Naru-nii did say no amount of detail he recounted could ever be better than seeing it for himself, and as ever, Naruto could only agree with his future-self. Walking in front of a bewildered Jiraiya but behind the hopping sages Shima and Fukasaku, Ma and Pa respectively, with the orange Gamakichi riding on his head and the yellow Gamatatsu in his arms, Naruto is in a daze trekking through the oily-warm lushness of the Land of Toads.

The colorful floral of the tropical wilderness project every shade of green with colorful petals and can be as small as a pebble or as tall a building. Abundant fountains and waterfalls disperse folds of featherlight mist in the atmosphere, watering the vegetation and keeping his skin cool. The earthy scent is even stronger than the forests around Konoha and the gentle breeze distributes murky mist and pollen alike. Heart-shaped green leaves shade their trail from the beautiful spring sun, creating greenish-yellow rays or rainbows that make the land of the Toads seem magical. As the young and energetic Gamakichi and Gamatatsu comment on the history of many of the large and small toad statues they pass, Naruto is stunned by the jungle beauty of it all.

While Naruto is falling in love with the beautiful landscape, Jiraiya had to interrupt the younglings to ask, "na, ma, pa, we're nearly to the temple. Can't you just tell me what this is about?" Turning his attention to Naruto, Jiraiya comments, "and you, Naruto! Don't think you've gotten out of explaining to me how you managed to summon Gamabunta on your third attempt. Gamakichi and Gamatatsu I can understand, but the chief Toad? Not even your father, the best student I've ever had, could achieve such a feat so quickly."

Chuckling, Naruto returns with a smile, "I told you not to underestimate me."

"We don't know much more than you Jiraiya-jo," Pa croaks. "Ōjiji-sama only told us to expect you and pick up Naruto-jo the moment he summoned Bunta-kun."

"You should be honored, boy," Ma tells Naruto. "Many before you have had to wait months or years to hear Ōjiji-sama prophecy."

"A destiny has never been so clear," Pa adds and soon the group, absent Gamakichi and Gamatatsu, find themselves inside a large circular temple in the presence of the great toad sage. Mostly brown with a faded white belly, the elder sage is as tall as a building with a professor's hat with tassels on his head and a necklace with an orb that has the word for oil on it. He sits on a pillow and the grand circular room is filled with small and large Fūinjutsu scrolls.

When Ma and Pa take their place either side of their respected elder, the wrinkly old toad leans forward, seemingly to look at the group through his squinted eyes. "Today, I have called you for… Who are you again?"

Naruto looks from Jiraiya back to the giant elder toad as Ma answers, "this is Uzumaki Naruto. You summoned him, Ōjiji-sama."

"Jiraiya-jo is here too," Pa adds.

"Ho ho… of course," the frozen-faced toad laughs. Slowly, he turns his squinted focus on Jiraiya before rotating to Naruto, and telling the blond, "in my dream… there's a voice in your head… that is and is not yours."

Ma, Pa, and Jiraiya quirk their brow at the divination while Naruto is surprised the old super-sized toad knew about Naru-nii. For the past week, Naruto's been relaying the details of the Thunder God technique line by line. Thirty or so minutes a day without seeing Fūinjutsu is taking longer than they thought, but, it won't be long now.

Gamamaru continues to slowly voice, "I have also seen… you will meet an octopus."

"Huh? An octopus," Naruto repeats, wondering if it's the same octopus Naru-nii told him about.

"The vision is cloudy… but I'm sure they are… octopus tentacles," the tall elderly toad hums in agreement. His aged voice then adds, "and a raccoon… a cat… a turtle… an ape… a horse… a slug… and a beetle."

"Uuuuh, okay," Naruto groans in confusion. Naruto repeats the animals in his head when Jiraiya steps forward, and with a high volume, respectfully asks, "ne, Ōgama Sennin, are you well?"
