Naruto: NTR Adventure!

If any hot-blooded male had been there to witness their actions, he would have fulfilled his fantasy. The actions committed by these socially high-placed ladies were right out of Jiraiya's books.

Around Konoha's onsen, a bored Jiraiya was lamenting his luck. He hadn't gotten any awesome peeps today. All he saw were some old ladies around his sensei's age using the bath. He was still trying to get those images out of his head when he suddenly sneezed. "It's been a long and torturous day. Seems like I missed an opportunity somewhere."

Sighing at his bad luck, he tried to sleep it off, getting the dreaded scenes out of his mind.

Meanwhile, a relaxed and refreshed Kushina and Mikoto came out of the onsen, with Kushina borrowing Mikoto's kimono. After getting a simultaneous release, both had quickly washed each other off. Of course, Kushina was slightly perturbed by how things had escalated so quickly but couldn't complain about the results. A feeling of satisfaction coursed through her body.

As the ladies came to the living area, they were greeted by sweaty and muddy kids. Quickly, they ushered them to bathe.

As Naruto and Sasuke were in the washroom, they set up dinner. "We should definitely do this again, Kushina. I totally enjoyed today. Maybe we should invite Hitomi too next time, for old times' sake," Mikoto suggested.

Kushina nodded. "Yeah, we could do that, but I am not doing those things again, Mikoto. I think we both lost control today. I admit I enjoyed it, but it's not right."

Mikoto sighed. "Forget about right or wrong, Kushina. Think about the results. You can blame whatever you want, but you have relieved some stress, and I'm sure given your new post, your stress level is bound to increase. Besides, think about doing it too for poor Hitomi. I'm sure that Hiashi prick can't even come close to satisfying her," she ended with a smirk.

"Yeah, Hitomi definitely is a wild one. Quiet on the outside but practically feral when she gets going. I blame you for corrupting that pure soul."

Mikoto giggled as she opened her mouth to say something, but she was interrupted by the sound of kids running up to the dining room. They quickly set the dinner table as Naruto and Sasuke bragged about defeating each other in a spar, claiming to use the techniques taught by Kushina and Itachi, respectively. In reality, all they had done was wrestle in the mud while claiming superiority of their teachers.

Soon it was time for Kushina and Naruto to leave. Kushina sealed all her shopping in a storage scroll. They bid goodbye as Mikoto and Sasuke came to see them off at the clan compound gates. Mikoto hugged Kushina. "Remember my offer. It's always open, so whenever you need my help, just notify me," she said, releasing her but not before groping her ass, much to Kushina's embarrassment.

A couple of Military Police personnel viewed the scene with amusement and a bit of jealousy. Kushina reluctantly nodded, "Thanks for your help today. Good night."

As Kushina lay on the bed, scenes of her actions with Mikoto replayed in her mind. She didn't feel guilty—well, maybe a bit guilty.

She thought, *"I don't know why I did that, but Mikoto is right. I would have to find a way to release my frustration one way or another. But going to Mikoto... I can't approach her directly, can I? Stupid Mikoto and her stupid logic. Now her logic will definitely make me do things I shouldn't. I was never good at self-release. This is so frustrating. Minato, please come home soon. I can't wait to see you again. Stupid Minato! He could come home daily if he wanted using Hirashin. But no, he decided he would stay with the forces to be a role model."*

As Kushina drifted off to dreamland, her mind unconsciously tried to find logical reasons for her actions.

In the past eight years, a lot has changed across the elemental nations. The continuous deployment of shinobi across great nations was one of them. Another major change was trade, which was now heavily restricted between various nations, especially for goods with any application in shinobi-related or militaristic use. As such, great nations had laid claims to whatever mines or natural resources had even the slightest use for them.

Smaller or minor nations had become targets of great nations. At first, everyone feared the advent of the Fourth Shinobi War, but it soon became apparent that this would not be a war like the previous ones. As Konoha started ramping up shinobi presence across borders, minor nations became hotbeds of political action, with negotiations occurring between neighboring big nations to secure the best deals.

The minor nations, especially those sandwiched between great nations like Kusagakure or Amegakure, became paradises for smugglers and hotspots for the black market dealing in banned goods from neighboring regions. These businesses were sometimes supported by the daimyo of the nation or whoever led the minor nation. Apart from these activities, these nations became hubs for reconnaissance and information passing, with spies and information brokers frequenting these areas to gather intelligence and spread misinformation.

Another consequence of this situation was the rise of various conglomerates like Gato's shipping enterprise, which grew exponentially.

On the surface, it appeared to be a simple trading company, but behind the scenes, there was no black market activity that Gato, the enterprise owner, didn't participate in.

Being a shrewd businessman, Gato established his base of operations just outside the jurisdiction of the Fire Country to avoid any repercussions from Konoha or the Fire Nation's daimyo.

Later, as Mizu no Kuni delved into civil war and bloodshed, his business boomed as he smuggled weapons, food, and supplies to both sides.

Currently, he had plans to take over the small town of Nami no Kuni. This tiny place was perfect for his operations.

Unfortunately, due to the Cold War between nations, he couldn't directly seize control of the village. Instead, he had to slowly buy out ports across the small town, but he believed he could succeed.
