"Follow Me"

Chapter 13

The stage was set for a high-stakes gamble that would determine Neji's future. Naruto, fueled by determination, challenged Hinata to a game that would dislodge him from the Hyuga Cooperation. Hinata, confident in her abilities and underestimating Naruto's luck, accepted the challenge and raised the stakes even further by including 15 percent of each other's stock.

Shikamaru, amused by the situation, recognized that technically Hinata was asking for 15 percent of the Nara Foundation since Naruto was his sponsor. He agreed to the terms, standing by Naruto's side. The trio turned to Neji, seeking his input on the game that would decide his life plan. Neji carefully considered his options before settling on a classic game of choice poker.

Hinata, eager to prove her superiority, chose her younger sister Hanabi as the dealer. The stage was set in the auditorium, with the entire school as witnesses to this intense gambling showdown.

The battle commenced, with Naruto and Hinata locked in fierce competition. Hinata resorted to desperate measures, attempting to cheat during certain rounds, but Naruto's unwavering focus and the endless credit provided by the card Shikamaru had given him allowed him to persevere.

As Naruto emerged victorious from the intense game of choice poker, the entire school erupted in a mix of shock and admiration. Hinata, her smug expression replaced with a mix of surprise and disappointment, graciously accepted her defeat. She had underestimated Naruto's skill and determination, and now she had to pay the price.

According to their agreement, Naruto was entitled to 15 percent of Hinata's stock. The implications of this victory were significant not just for Naruto but for the entire Hyuga Cooperation. Naruto, with the support of Shikamaru and Neji, had successfully challenged the established order.

Shikamaru, who had been observing the entire game with his usual nonchalant demeanor, couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in Naruto's accomplishment. He knew the blonde had a knack for turning the tables in his favor, and this victory only solidified that fact.

After the applause died down, Shikamaru stepped forward, his eyes meeting Naruto's. He leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss against Naruto's lips, their connection conveying a mix of relief, excitement, and affection.

But the celebration didn't end there. Neji, who had been silently watching the game unfold, couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration for Naruto and Shikamaru. Their unwavering support and the bond they shared spoke volumes, and Neji found himself drawn to them on a deeper level.

As the crowd dispersed, Naruto, Shikamaru, and Neji found themselves in a more secluded corner of the auditorium. Naruto's eyes glistened with a mixture of joy and relief, his heart swelling with the realization that he had secured Neji's life plan and challenged the established hierarchy of the Hyuga clan.

Shikamaru, ever the strategist, offered a knowing smile. "This victory is just the beginning, Naruto," he said, his voice filled with confidence. "We have the power to change the world."

Neji, touched by their words and the display of affection between Naruto and Shikamaru, stepped closer to them. He could feel the warmth radiating from their embrace and the genuine care they had for one another. In that moment, he made a decision.

"I want to be part of this," Neji said, his voice steady and resolute. "I want to join you in reshaping the world."

Naruto's eyes widened with surprise and joy. He reached out and took Neji's hand, his grip firm and reassuring. "Welcome to our team, Neji," he said, a wide smile spreading across his face. "Together, we'll create a future where everyone can enjoy life on the edge."

Naruto leaned in closely to Neji, their lips almost touching as he whispered in a low, seductive tone, "You belong to us now, Neji. You're our third link, our missing piece." His voice held a slight edge of darkness, a hint of dominance that sent shivers down Neji's spine.

Neji's heart raced, a mix of nervousness and anticipation flooding his senses. He looked into Naruto's intense blue eyes, feeling a magnetic pull drawing him closer. He could see the hunger and desire in Naruto's gaze, and it ignited something within him, a curiosity to explore the depths of pleasure and intimacy.

As Naruto's lips finally met Neji's in a passionate kiss, Neji felt a surge of heat rush through his body. The taste of Naruto on his lips was electrifying, a combination of sweetness and a hint of wildness. Neji's hands instinctively moved to Naruto's waist, pulling him closer, allowing himself to surrender to the intense emotions coursing through him.

The kiss deepened, their tongues dancing in a sensual rhythm as their bodies pressed together. Neji could feel the raw power emanating from Naruto, a force that matched his own strength. And in that moment, he understood what Naruto meant by becoming their third link. It wasn't just about physical intimacy; it was about trust, connection, and a shared exploration of pleasure.

As the kiss broke, Naruto's fingers traced along Neji's jawline, his voice filled with desire. "We're going to take care of you, Neji. We'll show you pleasures you've never known before." His words sent shivers down Neji's spine, his body responding to the promise of a world beyond boundaries.

Neji looked into Naruto's eyes, his own filled with a mix of vulnerability and trust. "I...I want to explore this with you," he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. "I want to be a part of this connection, to discover the depths of pleasure and intimacy that lie within us."

A smile played on Naruto's lips as he nodded, a flicker of possessiveness in his eyes. "Then, welcome to our world, Neji. Together, we'll unlock the secrets of pleasure and create something truly extraordinary."

And as Naruto's lips claimed his once again, Neji let go of his reservations, surrendering himself to the intoxicating allure of this newfound connection.

Shikamaru's voice was low and smooth as he leaned in close to Neji's ear, his breath sending a shiver down Neji's spine. "I may not be as flashy as Naruto, but I know how to take control," he murmured, his words laced with a subtle authority.

Neji's heart raced at the sound of Shikamaru's voice, his body tingling with anticipation. He turned his gaze to Shikamaru, his eyes meeting the dark intensity in Shikamaru's own. There was a calm confidence about him, a quiet strength that demanded attention.

As Shikamaru's lips brushed against Neji's earlobe, his voice grew more commanding. "You will submit to me, Neji. You will trust in my guidance and let me lead you into new realms of pleasure." His words held a hint of dominance, a promise of a passionate journey awaiting them both.

Neji felt a rush of heat flood through him, a mixture of excitement and a surrendering desire. He knew that Shikamaru's dominance would bring a different kind of intensity to their connection, a calculated control that would push him to new heights of pleasure.

Shikamaru's hands began to explore Neji's body, his touch confident and possessive. Every stroke and caress sent waves of pleasure coursing through Neji's veins, igniting a fire within him that burned with a need for more.

As Neji's breathing grew heavy and his body responded to Shikamaru's touch, he realized that Shikamaru was a master of control, a strategist who knew exactly how to play the game of pleasure. There was a deep understanding in his touch, an ability to read Neji's responses and adjust his approach accordingly.

In that moment, Neji surrendered himself to Shikamaru's dominance, allowing him to guide their journey of pleasure. He felt a sense of liberation in giving up control, in trusting Shikamaru to lead him into uncharted territories of desire.

And as Shikamaru's lips met his own, Neji felt a merging of passion and power, a dance between dominance and submission. In the arms of Naruto and Shikamaru, he found a balance between the seductive darkness of Naruto and the calculated dominance of Shikamaru.
