Finding Solace

Chapter 3

At dawn, Naruto arose to clean himself and get ready for the trying day ahead. He could sense the unrest amongst the clan. People who were on edge for the next attack from outside sources. War was a battle long fought with many blades clashing. He soaked in the bath for the sake of having his hair relax before getting ready for the day that was sure to be of healing. Donning his usual medical kimono he sat at his dresser to style his hair.

Pulling his hair in a high ponytail before wrapping his hair around it and keeping his bangs at jaw length before pushing a decorative comb to act as a crown. Once that was finished he applied light makeup to his features. Starting with a ruby red for his lips and darkening his eyebrows along with giving his cheeks a hint of red. When he was satisfied he headed out to the dining room. Madara wasn't present at the moment but the servants were actively placing breakfast down at the table. 

He took his seat in silence and ignored them as he pulled out his book from yesterday from his arm. As he got deeply invested in making notes alongside the pages of the book he failed to notice the servants giving looks of awe. It seemed they had finally realized who they have in their presence. A legendary medic who was one of the few omegas who prided their ability to be shinobi as well. They shuffled out of the dining room as the Head of Clan came inside in his typical shinobi gear. 

"I didn't factor you being an early bird," Madara commented as he took his seat as well.

Naruto hummed absentmindedly as he wrote furiously in the corners of the book. "I have studying to do so it was a natural given."

"Studying? Aren't you the world's leading medic?" He asked as he said a quick prayer before plating his food. 

"I am the leading medic but if I don't study and continue to expand my knowledge then an ambitious young bud will try and steal my thunder. I'm not quite ready to hand over my mantle," Naruto chuckled a bit before doing the same as Madara and engaging in the meal. 

After breakfast, they pulled on their shoes and headed out for the day. 

*********

Tobirama didn't know what could be more insulting. The fact that his brother told his wife to get a wife for the Uchiha bastard or being told that he himself had to find his own mate. Boundaries were being crossed in a sense and observing the male omega legend in his pride. Tobirama had been introduced to Naruto that morning and it was like someone gave his body and soul. He was aloof throughout the entire meeting, didn't bat an eye when Mito made comments that weren't necessary to the situation and when she tried to somewhat demean Naruto he would be quick to reply that shut her up. Tobirama liked his spine and quick replies but he was ticked that the male was apparently promised to Madara. 

"Tobirama-san that glare is giving you unnecessary wrinkles," Naruto commented as he mixed chemicals into a compound for a jell he was making that would be used as a stopper for stab wounds. Once it was mixed correctly he added it to the slime-like base and began mixing. 

"I simply find it morbid that my brother has asked for his wife to rope you in for that Uchiha," He shuddered a bit to bring his point home and Naruto chuckled softly. 

"Tobirama-san, this is merely me assessing Madara to see if we can be compatible for partnership. It doesn't mean I am closed off to other options, granted Mito would try to wring my neck but she is merely a Senju now."

"Merely a Senju?" He asked and he sensed something about Naruto was going to bite him in the rear. 

"Yes a Senju, though you may be great warriors you are all you're all so backward it's not even comedic. If this was an alternate timeline I'm sure you would be that one clan that held grudges for decades under the pretense of keeping the clan's endeavors known throughout time. Who wants to remember a war after it ended decades ago?" Naruto scoffed a bit at his own suggestion. 

"How are we even backward, this I'm curious about," Tobirama challenged. Naruto smirked as if he got praised for doing something underhanded. 

"Number one, marrying someone from the likes of the Uzumaki Clan. No offense your brother is the world's definition of sunshine but I cannot see what prompted him to marry a backward heir of the most backward clan. As you can see I have an undeniable hatred for my clan, though it's mostly passive-aggressive. They're deeply rooted in the rigid routine that has been the Uzumaki Clan since its inception. Your clan, however, doesn't dwell on that rigid routine. And I can almost say that your clan is the most freedom-based whenever it came to strict clan rules," Naruto said as he cleaned his hands and took a ladle to bottle the jell. 

"So I find it rather odd that the Head of the most freedom-based clan would marry such a backward heir and smile so lovingly at her when she could try and make things within your clan tense. I know your clan has members who are ninjas and omegas. Something she's made obvious that she doesn't like. I don't know about you but this can only result in fighting." 

Once he was finished bottling the jell he sealed them into his arm. He turned around only to be chest to face with Tobirama. "I agree with some of your points others, not by much," He explained. "Walk with me will you?"

"I promised to lunch with Madara-san," Naruto countered. "However we can continue to meet here, in my laboratory."

"I can conform to this arrangement," Tobirama backed up and headed for the door. 

"Tobirama," Naruto called as his voice lowered to sultry. "Are you vying for me?" 

"I know not of what you speak of," He quickly left afterward as Naruto's smile grew into a smirk. 

"Jealously somehow suits his demeanor," Naruto muttered to himself. 

*****************

"I didn't envision you as the type to partake in sweets," Naruto commented as he swirled his noodles in the chicken broth. They had found peace in an empty training ground away from prying eyes where they both took part in less than savory habits. 

Madara had stripped himself of armor and Naruto had pulled open the top half of the kimono. They ate their favorite food which was Ramen and Dango and just talked. Talked about a lot of things that involved their lives before they met each other, the future of the village, their friends, and even family. 

"Aren't you perturbed about being labeled promiscuous in my eyes?" Madara had been unashamedly eying whatever Naruto's kimono top showed. It wasn't out of perversion it was merely just curiosity, he had never taken a male omega to bed. 

"I am promiscuous but not the way you think I am. By right I am virginal, but while most omegas grit their teeth and refuse to pleasure themself during the pinnacle of one's own heat I have. I have placed my trust in other alphas who can pleasure me without having intercourse with me. I am not ashamed, hence the lack of shyness for you viewing my body," Naruto explained as he placed his bowl aside to pull his top down which showed his bra.  

Madara looked away but it made no difference. Naruto crawled into his lap and straddled him which made the skirt of his kimono ride up to expose his thighs being caressed by black socks. "A man of your status shouldn't be blushing by this. I'm sure omegas have thrown themselves at you. Aren't I another statistic?"

"No, you are a prime candidate for being my mate and wife. I will treat you with respect even if you insist on being that debauched around me," Madara pulled his kimono top back on him and even made an effort to straighten it out and made his potential wife look decent. 

Naruto smiled at him and kissed his cheek. "Well done Madara-sama," He got up from his lap and went back to his bowl of ramen.

A/N- Ugh, sorry for not doing the regular Friday updates. I...passed out after finishing my finals for this year from exhaustion and I'm still stuck in the ward. I just convinced my little brother to slip my laptop in so I could post these. Enjoy!
