Naruto: Lost in the Forest of Lust

Naruto slowly opened his eyes as he tried to remember everything that had happened to him since the Chunin exam began. First he was tied up by some Ame-nins. Then he was blown away by a powerful wind and separated from his teammates. Lastly, he was eaten by a large snake only to escape thanks to the kage bunshin. And all this had occurred in the first two hours. If this was what the rest of the exam was going to be like, he was in deep shit.

Naruto looked down at his clothing and nearly vomited. He was covered in slime and snake guts from his escape. Anyone with a nose could find him easily. And if they saw him alone, he realized, they might follow him back to his teammates. With that in mind, he decided to look for a river or a stream before looking for his teammates.

“Gaara,” said Temari as she stopped on a tree branch. “I need to be alone for a while.” Gaara stopped where he was and turned around slowly.

“Why?” he demanded as he stared at her.

Temari sighed as she pondered how she was going to explain this to Gaara. She had several blood spots on her outfit from Gaara’s latest victims and she wanted to get rid of them before they became stains. He just never understood anything other than killing. ‘That’s all tou-san’s fault,’she thought bitterly.

“I just do,” she said. She then looked at Kankuro. “How about this. If I’m not back in let’s say two hours then you can kill our dear brother.”

“NANI!” screamed Kankuro right before he was covered in sand.

“Deal,” said Gaara in his normal voice. With a nod, Temari left the boys to wait for her eventual return.

It took about ten minutes before she found a small river that would work. The only problem was that someone was already there. From up in the trees, Temari saw that it was a boy from the Leaf village. He was the blond kid that they had met when she and her brothers first entered the village. He had his jacket and shirt off which revealed his well toned body. ‘Now that I think about it he’s not that bad looking,’ she thought. ‘He did help us out during the first exam by standing up to that examiner. I’ll never admit it, but I was a little intimidated and might have opted to leave.’

Temari continued to watch as Naruto took off his pants, leaving him with only his boxers on. Temari tried to hide her blush, but it was no use. She wasn’t naïve about sex in any way, but with her life style it was next to impossible to have a relation with anyone. Then she remembered that a lot of people die on this exam. Her odds of dying were even higher since she was in the same team as Gaara. ‘Oh hell no! I will not die a virgin!’ She then looked back down at Naruto who was just getting into the water. ‘Well, if he dies he won’t be able to tell anyone about this. And if he lives then after this is all over I’ll never see him again. Either way I win.’ With that warped line of thinking, she jumped down from her hiding place.

“Hi,” she said cheerfully. Naruto looked in her direction and then tried to dive down. Sadly for him he was in shallow water. He was now in a sitting position in the water.

“What do you want?” he demanded as he looked for something to use as a weapon. Temari set down her fan and walked over to him.

“I’m not here to fight,” she said. “I just wanted to say thank you.”

“For what?” asked Naruto as he lowered his guard.

“For what you said in the first exam,” she said. “I think my teammate might have chickened out if you hadn’t said what you said. So, I wanted to show you my thanks.” Temari was now right in front of him. She leaned down and smiled warmly at him.

“Ah, you don’t have to,” said Naruto as he scratched the back of his head.
