Naruto: The Prince of Lust

Chapter 251

However, she quickly ceased feeding those darker thoughts for a higher self-worth. Even if her relationship with Darui is secret and rocky, it's still a relationship. He's a person with feelings and she doesn't want to betray another person's emotional trust. She didn't want to be the sort of person that would enjoy causing someone else emotional pain.

Tentatively, Mabui asks, "did A-sama discuss this with... anyone?"

"He makes his own decisions," Samui simply answers, to Mabui's relief, until the blond bombshell casually adds, "however, Darui-san and Dodai-san advise when available."

"Were they," Mabui quickly asks, clarifying, "were they available to advise?"

"That's unimportant," Samui replies as she offhandedly destroys the missive with a flash of fire. "We have our orders. Atsui, reconn options of retreat. I'll set traps. Mabui, seduce Uzumaki." Atsui's eye twitches as he holds in his immense displeasure. Samui ignores him to further instruct Mabui, "if he's uncooperative, we'll lure him to the ambush. Dismissed."

There's so much detail missing from that plan, Mabui can't help but mentally scream, 'how?' Rather than vocalize that, however, she asks, "ah, Samui-taichou, may I speak with you in private?"

"If it has to do with the mission, I should hear too," Atsui protests.

Samui instructs her brother to leave with a single word. "Atsui," she voices and with a loud huff, her offended brother leaves them before she turns to her.

"I feel it's important... for the mission, to know how far I've been ordered to seduce Uzumaki," Mabui begins.

"No boundaries were detailed," Samui dispassionately responds.

Mabui proactively asks, "none?" The beautiful blond Jōnin would've answered if there was an answer to give, prompting Mabui to then ask, "and if it goes as far as sex? Is he- are they okay with that?" Again, Samui remains silent, to which Mabui interprets to mean if there was a limit, Samui would say as much.

The woman's silence felt like a blunt reality check, of sorts, for Mabui on the status of her relationship with Darui. It's similar to third-hand information, not all reliable but not to be discounted either. It tells her that Darui didn't succeed in setting a limit to how far she should go, or if he cared at all. It's not proof that Darui isn't serious about their relationship, but it's also not proof that he is either.

Samui turns to leave when Mabui quickly asks, "Samui-taichou, may I know- may I hear directly from you, my commanding officer, how far you would like me to go with Uzumaki-kun? I know how important Kubikiribōchō is to A-sama, but in your professional opinion, how far do you think I should go for a weapon?"

"...A mission is a mission," Samui begins, finishing, "whatever it takes."

Shaking her head as if there's no need to apologize, she asks, "how was your day?"

"Pretty good," Naruto answers. "I got a lot of training in but not a lot of results... yet."

Smiling at his confidence, her inquisitive mind wants to know, "what sort of training?"

Though Temari is eager for any new intel to pass on, she disappointed to hear him glumly answer, "mostly meditation stuff. Trying to be really still is hard for me since I have so much energy."

It sounded like mental discipline training and nothing special, however, she kindly replies, "I can imagine. So what would you like to do today?" Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire

"I'm just a clone but I'm down for anything," he tells her, to her disappointment.

Though Temari appreciates him saying as much, she feels insulted that it's a clone and not the real body. It sends the message that she's not a priority and that won't do, not with so much at stake and so many depending on her. 'Earn his trust, earn his trust, earn his trust,' her mind yells in repetition as her voice asks, "may I know where the real Naruto is?"

"He's training with the Team right now," the clone replies.

"No offense, but can we wait for him nearby," Temari softly asks. "You and I can still talk, but I was hoping to tell him something personal."

"Yeah sure," the Naruto clone responds.

Deciding talking to the clone will suffice, for now, they make their way as Temari asks, "I can imagine this whole thing with me and the Omiai must be pretty weird for you."
