I, Your Father, Carry a Big Stick: Chapter 67 (Patreon)

After gathering chopsticks equal to the number of players, Ino marked four with the numbers 1-4 and one with the kanji for the word King. Then, with all five sticks gathered in a tall cup, she shook them up, saying, "No cheating, Hinata." with an enthusiastic smile adorning her face.

Furrowing her brows, Hinata poutily responded, "That was one time, Ino-chan..."

Rolling her eyes, Ino remarked, "Yeah, yeah..." before holding out the cup and saying, "Everyone grabs one stick. Only the King can reveal who they are. If you're chosen as the King, you pick one number to carry out an act on another number. And remember, the King's orders are absolute. If your number gets called and you refuse to carry out the order, you have to buy everyone dinner at Yakiniku Q. Understood?"

As it was her first time playing, Tenten knew Ino was recounting the rules for her 'benefit.' Thus, she was the first to grab a stick, muttering, "This is so dumb..." in an annoyed tone. She had agreed to play, but her intentions were primarily to observe Ino's and Sakura's shamelessness so she could call them out for it in the future...

Once everyone grabbed their chopsticks, Tenten opened her hand to find the number two written. That meant she was subject to the whims of the King, said privilege falling on Hinata.

Seeing that she was the King, a disappointed look briefly marred Hinata's face before she held up the stick for the rest to see, declaring, "This is the King's Decree. Number one is to kiss the hand of number three..."

As the 'unspoken' rules dictated that decrees start off 'reasonably' tame, Hinata elected to set the bar low. In response to her order, Ino dangled the number one stick, her pupilless blue eyes narrowed in amusement as she asked, "Who gets the honor of receiving my kiss~?"

Holding up the number three stick, Wu playfully replied, "Looks like it's my lucky day? Though, given the circumstances, I'd say that's pretty fucking obvious..."

Realizing that Wu was her target, Ino's eyes briefly twinkled before she abruptly took a knee in front of him, grasping his hand between her own before placing a chaste kiss on his ring finger. However, because she was staring up at him with upturned eyes, one of the many 'secret techniques' Wu had taught them, the relatively tame action caused the tensions in the air to increase to near-palpable levels.

Unable to suppress her befuddlement, Tenten asked, "What the hell...?" in a confused tone. In response, Sakura took it upon herself to explain, "You know how Wu-kun is. Everything in that thick head of his revolves around training, eating, sleeping, and more training. He wouldn't even play games like hide-and-seek without turning it into some form of training, so this is just how things ended up after a while..."

Interrupting Sakura's explanation, Ino said, "Okay, enough chatter. Sticks in the can. And you better hope I don't draw the King's stick...uhuhuhu~."

With everyone returning their stick, Ino turned away so that Wu couldn't cheat by following the King's stick with his eyes. He used to end up being the King 'a lot' in the past, and while that wasn't necessarily a bad thing, he would also know which stick everyone else possessed. In other words, he was like a true King, willfully selecting specific individuals to follow his decrees.

As accustomed as she had become to kissing and groping other girls, Ino found the game infinitely more stimulating when Wu was the one giving or receiving...

Turning back to the group, Ino permitted everyone to take a stick before claiming the final one for herself. This was also a countermeasure against cheating, as everyone responsible for scrambling the lots had been found keeping track of the King's stick at least once. Kaia had even 'marked' the stick in one particular game, using her exceptional sense of smell to claim or keep track of who had it at any given moment.

With everyone grabbing their sticks, Ino's eyes immediately lit up as she pulled the remaining stick, readily revealing it to be the King's. Since her previous words were still fresh in people's minds, everyone except Wu immediately tensed, prompting her to narrow her eyes in amusement as she decreed, "Number three has to lick the belly button of number four for three minutes."

Hearing Ino's decree, Tenten went red in the face as she squeezed the number four stick in her hand. Fortunately, or perhaps not, the person in possession of the number three stick was Wu, a smoldering look adorning his face as he held up his stick and asked, "Who's the lucky lady~?"

"Oh, Gods..."

As she had been delaying doing anything 'too intimate' with Wu, Tenten's face became cherry red as she tentatively held up her stick. She wasn't ordinarily a bashful girl, but the idea of having her belly button licked in front of a bunch of other girls made her incredibly sheepish. It didn't help that Wu was staring at her with a narrow-eyed, expectant look...

Realizing that Tenten had the number four stick, Ino dangled the King's as she reminded, "The King's orders are absolute. You're free to 'chicken out' if you want to, but don't forget you owe everyone here a meal. And, just in case you didn't know, everyone here is a 'big eater'..."

Though they couldn't compete with a monster like Hinata, Ino and Sakura had developed quite an appetite due to Wu's intense training. While every other girl in their class was dieting to appear thin, they maintained two of the best figures despite eating 3-5 full meals a day. Needless to say, a lot of their classmates resented them.

Fearing for her wallet and not wanting to be seen as a 'chicken,' Tenten only hesitated for a few seconds before rolling up the hem of her pale-pink, qipao-style vest to reveal her faintly muscular abdomen. She had never gone over to the Sarutobi Estate, but Wu visited her house every weekend and offered her lots of advice on how she could improve. She wasn't quite at Hinata's level, but her core was well developed.

With Tenten remaining on her feet, Wu emulated Ino by lowering himself onto his knees. Most girls would lie on their back for this type of thing, but Tenten didn't have much experience with lascivious affairs. As such, she became statuesque as Wu grabbed her hips, looking directly at her as he brought his lips to her navel and began tracing it with his tongue...

After a 'very' eventful game, the girls, including Tenten, agreed to have a sleepover. They each had rooms of their own, but Wu had fished out more than a dozen video and audio recording devices from the one they were currently staying in. Thus, rather than having him sweep through each of their rooms, they elected to share the same one.

Though they 'should' have kicked Wu out, none of the girls even broached the subject despite him 'ogling' them as they changed out of their Shinobi attire and into their pajamas. Ino didn't even do that, opting for a camisole and lace panties that nearly matched her skin tone. Then, when everyone sat in a circle on the beds they had pulled together, she sat cross-legged directly across from Wu, practically daring him to look.

Noticing Ino's actions, Sakura's smile cramped as she said, "The game is over, Ino...aren't you being a little too shameless...?"

Rolling her eyes, Ino retorted, "What's the big deal? Wu-kun has seen, touched, or directly licked just about every part of our bodies. Getting embarrassed at this point is just pointless. Besides, he removed all those cameras the administrators would have used to spy on and record us. He deserves a bit of eye candy."

Punctuating her statement, Ino hooked her thumbs under the hem of her panties and pulled them higher up her waist, unabashedly giving herself a rather prominent cameltoe. Sakura wanted to chastise her, but, recalling it hadn't even been twenty minutes since she was rubbing her nose against the front of Wu's boxer briefs, she elected to remain quiet.

With Sakura cowed by Ino's shamelessness, Tenten felt obligated to say, "You should at least pretend to have 'some' inhibitions...how do you think your boyfriend would react if he saw you behaving this way?"

Releasing the band of her panties and allowing them to pop against her skin, Ino furrowed her brows and stared directly at Tenten as she replied, "This and that are two entirely separate matters. Wu-kun has always been a...really good friend and mentor to us. I'm comfortable doing these sorts of things because I 'know' he would never force me against my will or try to take advantage of me. Even if I were to grind my ass against that little monster he calls his cock, I know things would end there unless I directly asked him to take me. I consider that a good thing. It's better to cut loose with someone I trust than bottle everything up until I do something I may or may not regret."

Similar to Sakura, Tenten found herself cowed by the sheer 'confidence' in Ino's words and actions. Any 'reasonable' person could see what she was doing and recognize how risque her behavior was, but they couldn't really fault her argument. Even when given 'ample' opportunities to take things a lot further, Wu always remained calm and in control. He really did give off the impression of a guy you could safely experiment with, as he had never once deviated from the 'expectations' set for him.

Taking advantage of the others' silence, Ino turned to Hinata and asked, "You don't really mind, do you, Hinata-chan? Given Wu-kun's monstrous stamina, I'm certain you get more than your 'fill' when it's just the two of you. Even if I gave him a spin in the future, you wouldn't care 'that' much, would you?"

Though she was more than a little taken aback by Ino's words, Hinata was surprised to find that she didn't mind as much as she should have. She didn't know if it was because she had acclimated to Ino's behavior over the years or because their first night together had 'traumatized' her, but she honestly didn't mind if Wu shared his intense passion with others. Even just one hour a night would probably leave her more than 'satisfied,' so she didn't mind how he spent the remaining seven to nine...besides, it was kind of fun to play as a group...

Surprising Sakura and Tenten, Hinata gave an affirming nod, answering, "I don't really mind...but I would feel bad for Sasuke-kun if you went behind his back to have sex with another boy..."

Wincing at the mention of Sasuke, Ino's expression lost a bit of its edge as she briefly exchanged glances with Sakura before revealing, "Truth be told, I'm slowly starting to realize that things might not work out between Sasuke and us. We're trying our best to keep it together, but, even if she doesn't admit it, I know I speak for both Sakura and myself when I state that Sasuke's 'conservative' views are a little...frustrating..."

"Ino-chan! W-What are you saying...!?"

Though she knew 'exactly' what Ino was talking about, Sakura couldn't believe she was outing them in front of everyone...in front of Wu.

Undaunted by Sakura's outburst, Ino exhaled a huffy sigh and retorted, "What? Wu-kun has been our confidant for as long as I can remember. Who knows, he might have a solution that 'doesn't' involve us having to meet up in secret to-"

Before Ino could expose her deepest secret, Sakura pounced on the boyish blonde and sealed her mouth with both hands. If others knew she and Ino had been 'comforting' each other to make up for Sasuke's lack of desire, there was no turning back...
