Naruto: The Prince of Lust

Naruto's explanations tend to have her warm and moist by the end of their study sessions, though, fortunately for her, he's rather young for her. Her fiance may have been thirty years her senior but there's something about sexual relations with a boy ten years younger than her that seems taboo. Even still, she enjoys her time with him as she adds, "so, I find it incredibly difficult to believe you're not the most influential name in the field of Fūinjutsu across the five nations."

"Wow, I wouldn't go that far," Naruto responds with a chuckle. Mabui looks at him in earnest, to the point a doubtful Naruto has to ask, "…are you being serious?"

"Of course," Mabui returns, fingers in her hair to keep in place as the wind picks up. Mabui ignores the few men glancing at her seated, leg crossed, as she readily informs the blond genius, "I should be calling you Naruto-sensei."

"Stop it," he lamely gaffs. Looking at her as if she were crazy, Naruto admits, "I may know a little more than you, but you're learning really fast. You're nearly at the intermediate stuff and it's only been a week since we met." When Mabui thinks about how many months she's spent attempting to decipher a single Fūinjutsu, his comment doesn't feel as flattering. She quickly becomes a mixture of aroused and scared when he finishes, "I'm a hundred percent sure you'll figure out that secret project you keep showing me in no time."

Surprised he could tell she's been sneaking segments of the old Fūin scroll she inherited, Mabui's face braces as she hesitates to ask, "you could tell?"

"Yeah," Naruto easily replies. She feels defeated when he adds, "you've only snuck in three segments of the initial array but it's pretty obvious they come from the same jutsu."

Cautiously, Mabui asks, "does it bother you that I'm keeping it a secret?"

"No," he quickly assures her and it just touches her heart when he reassures her, "I only want to help."

"Funny," Mabui enjoys saying, adding, "that's exactly what a sensei would say." Naruto rolls his head back exhaustively and Mabui smiles as she tells him, "I'd like to help you too. That is to say, I don't want you to think I'm only using you for your intelligence."

"Add that to the list of things no one's ever said to me before," Naruto blurts

"Well then, it's my honor to be your first," Mabui teases, tightening her thighs together at the titillating thought of taking the virginity of a genius. "Maybe if I know I've helped you, maybe with your love life, then I'll feel more comfortable trusting you with my family's Fūinjutsu. Have you asked either one of those girls about… You didn't ask, did you?" The sour look washing over his face was answer enough.

With a spirit of failure, he huffs, "well… it's not an easy thing to ask! How would you feel if your boyfriend asked you to be in a polyamorous relationship with another girl?"

A sequenced flicker of reflected light tells Mabui that Samui is nearby observing. With the stoic beauty near, Mabui knew there was only one answer to that question. Despite her aversion toward the poly lifestyle, Mabui knew she had to say whatever she needed to for the desired outcome. Adopting a cute disposition, Mabui bashfully answers, "I'm currently not dating anyone, but—and this is a big but—if the right man asked me and the other girl turned out to be someone I can truly care for, yeah, I'd consider it."

With squinted eyes, Naruto's jaw drops. Surprised throughout, he asks, "really? Wait, you don't have a boyfriend?! But you're so gorgeous! How's that possible?"

"First, thank you. That's sweet of you to say," Mabui genuinely responds. Pushing the mental image of the confusion Darui brings her, she articulates, "but yes, I'm currently single, and to answer your question, selecting someone on the basis of appearance is superficial and doesn't last long when conversation happens. Beauty can easily lead to sex but that's no guarantee of building a meaningful relationship, and on many occasions, it doesn't."

Mabui couldn't help but wonder about Darui. The green-eyed beauty recalls their conversations perfectly and very little of the dialog has to do with anything meaningful such as interests, philosophy, politics, or future goals. Darui's very confident and forthright about his assertions, however, her intuition tells her he's treating her exactly like any other girl. Mabui doesn't feel special, and what's worse about feeling ordinary, is her opinion of Darui. If her fiance were alive right now, Mabui knows she'd drop Darui in an instant. Her first love is the new gauge by which all men are now stacked against, and though Darui is the highest thus far, he doesn't measure up.

Realizing she's never spoken about this aloud, Mabui tentatively takes a minuscule moment for herself to enjoy the sun in the shade among a lively village before she unburdens just a small portion of the baggage she's been carrying about the man she's been secretly seeing.

Sincerely, she voices, "more often than not, a physical match doesn't equate to an emotional one." Looking out into the park with parents or villagers on the streets, Mabui proclaims, "when you consider the majority of people are average looking, just because an exceptional shape and size of a human can make us weak in the knees doesn't mean the other less symmetrical or less fit are any less ideal. It's why it's valuable to look beyond the physical."

Though feels like a hypocrite, Naruto nods in agreement as he adds, "my sensei says that being really pretty can also be a problem because their looks can make it hard for the average guy to approach them."

"Your sensei's right," Mabui wholly agrees. "On many occasions, the only men that approach me are the players. Unfortunately, what they want is so base and superficial and obvious, it's a complete turn off for me. In truth, I often find myself remaining single for long periods."

Naruto nods in understanding before adding the opposite end of the same dilemma. "But you can't be too approachable because the guy who can only date you like that might get jealous easily and my sensei thinks that's the most unattractive quality."

"Your sensei seems very wise," Mabui comments, appreciating how attentive and studious Naruto is. In addition to identifying with sapiosexuality, Mabui has also been affected but the student and sensei relationship. She's always felt a strong bond with them. As an adolescent girl escaping the dregs of her poverty-stricken family and village, she understood that the role of a sensei is to provide her with all the tools she needs to ascend to a better state of living. When she had nothing, her sensei taught her to save herself, especially her late fiance. Forcing away those sad thoughts, Mabui adds, "being somewhat unapproachable helps to avoid insecure, clingy, controlling, and overly protective men that I may otherwise date. So, yes, there is a balance and it can be hard to navigate. Too sociable and you're just the girl of the night. Too reserved and you're alone a lot."

"That must be tough for you," Naruto sympathizes. "What's your type… or, I guess what I mean to ask is, what kind of guy would you be with that might make you say yes to polyamory?"

"Mnn," Mabui sounds, tilting her head a bit to think before answering. "I… this is a little embarrassing to admit but I'm attracted to men like y- uh, men with many of your qualities." Nodding her head to his quirking brow, she lists off, "handsome, funny, and above everything else intelligent. I absolutely idolize intelligence."

"I don't see why that's embarrassing," Naruto wonders aloud. "Aren't there a lot of handsome, funny and intelligent men out there?"

"I suppose that's a bit broad," Mabui admits. "However, I can't really prescribe what might make me say yes. A man can have those qualities in abundance and I could still say no, or yes. I guess it depends on their character. I may come around to the idea of being in a polyamorous relationship but the only way I can see that happening is if the man at the center is worth it. I know it's not a definite answer but that lifestyle is not something that just anybody can do. I suppose the key component is a confident personality."

Curiously, Naruto tries to understand the sort of confidence needed by asking, "like how I know I'm going to be the best Hokage of all time?"
