Squad-0 returned from Kumo, they successfully rescued their Jinchuuriki, reached a temporary peace treaty, and to make it better, there weren't any unnecessary deaths.
Entering the Hokage's office, the team was greeted with a bottle thrown straight at them, specifically at Taiju.
Cling Crash
"Hello to you, Tsunade. " He greeted his attacker.
"You have some nerve Taiju's." Tsunade snapped.
The squad fully entered, standing a few feet from her desk, bodies ready for anymore sudden attacks.
Anko bowed, "Lady Tsunade, we succeeded in assisting the two-tails with escaping the Akatsuki and managed to get in the Raikage's favour. " Anko placed a scroll on her desk, embroidered with Cloud insignia,
Tsunade took the scroll and hid it under her desk.
"Well done...you'll receive your payments in a few days, get out of my office." She ended, glaring at them, in case they wanted to be smart.
At that statement, they flashed away except for Taiju, who was looking at her.
"Did you not hear me?" Tsunade spoke in a threatening tone.
"Don't be like this Tsunade ~" He chuckled, walking over to hug her from behind, his chin resting on her temple.
She stiffened for a moment before relaxing in his gentle hold.
"What did I say about–"
"It doesn't matter if you're my superior. " He interrupted, snaking his hands to her chest, slipping a feel.
"Taiju–" She moaned.
"Don't forget who you belong to, chan..you're still my woman, Hokage or not." He stated.
"You're a filthy man."
"And yet you lean into my touch." He chuckled as he felt her give in to his audacious act.
"You bastard of a ninja. "
-Tayuya and Kin-
The 2/3s of Squad-0 moved down the village, leaving Taiju to his mischief as they escaped Anko's teasing and moved to check on the maggots.
Tayuya turned to Kin, "You think they've reached our madness," She grinned, walking past Konoha folk.
Kin hummed, "Probably but they seem mentally strong compared to us when we first started training. "
"True...he was really a tyrant in the beginning huh?"
"Remember when he punched you for touching his sword?"
"Do I?" Tayuya snorted, he still brings it up." She rolled her eyes.
Kin nudged her, " Despite all his flaws which are a lot, I prefer him over Orochimaru."
"I second that." Tayuya agreed.
They walked near the barbecue joint, looking through the windows they saw the girls.
Sitting by a table, grilling meat, and laughing freely.
As if noticing the disturbance of peace, Hinata, Tenten, and Ino turned to them.
Their mouths slightly open in shock.
Opening the door, Tayuya and Kin walked over to their table and sat down.
"Hello maggots. Miss us?" Tayuya hummed.
"Hi." Kin nodded at them.
Ino was the first to speak, leaning over," When did you arrive and where is Taiju?" The Yamanaka heiress demanded, body still smelling of bleach as she finished her shift at the clinic.
"You smell like a hospital. " Tayuya teased.
"I work at the clinic. " Ino said flatly." Where is he?"
Looking at each other in sync, a byproduct of their years together.
Tenten whispered to Hinata," You saw that right? They did the telepathic thing."
Hinata nodded.
Kin cleared her throat," There are certain things about Taiju you'll learn over time." Kin started the chat.
"What she means is that our dear Taiju is a horny dog and has a harem of women." Tayuya exposed him.
The girls froze at his words, letting it sink into their minds.
"H-Harem?"
"Are you serious?"
"I get that he's handsome, but he's only been in the village for what, like, 2 years?" Tenten blushed at the revelation.
Tayuya smirked, "Oh-honey, that was raised by Anbu."
Kin nodded at her words." Taiju is one of the last child soldiers trained to be a weapon strong enough to handle the Kyubi."
"Danzo originally wanted to use Izumi Uchia, but she became a rogue, and now her brother is training with Orochimaru."
"Our former master before Taiju took us."
"Kidnapped. " Tayuya clarified.
The girls processed the information, looking at their burning food.
Ino sighed, "Well that's one way to make lunch interesting. " Ino joked.
-Kurenai-
Kurenai walked with Hana to a clothing shop, the two holding hands and talking about gossip.
Kurenai held a dress to her body," So what does your mom think of us?" She asked.
Hana turned to her smiling, " She really likes you guys and has a respect for Taiju."
"Really?"
"Yes, he impressed her by not being fearful of her 3 dogs ...I think he's just battle-crazed that fear is not even registering in his mind."
"Probably." Kurenai turned back to the dress.
"I heard they returned today." Hana announced.
Kurenai tilted her head, red tomoe-less eyes looking at the Inuzuka. "Oh-really...let's go greet him."
