Einstein & Naruto 4: The Salty Sea-Dog

A/N:

This takes place after this one: Einstein and Naruto 3 - Kunoichi’s entertainment.

This story is also designed to branch off and transition into a brand new series of stories, featuring Max as a second pet dog for Naruto. This is inspired by a scene from an story written by Dogpoundman, with the scene in question involving Einstein and Max licking Yuffie Kisaragi from the Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts games.

I want to thank Fleetmaster022 (aka, Taren) for helping make this story possible.

Also, as a bonus, I’ll be posting a blog. Feel free to check it out after you read this story.

Today started as a crisp autumn day, with the weather turning colder, and every leaf on every tree leaves turning from a luscious green to either brown, orange, or reddish. For whatever reason, missions in the Konoha village were slowing to practically a crawl, though this also meant that the ninjas were able to at least have longer downtimes. Naruto was of no exception, as he was currently out of his apartment, walking his Great Dane, Einstein.

Of course, with how much taller and stronger Einstein was compared him, it was safe to say that it was really the other way around, since Naruto had to hold onto the leash hooked onto his dog’s new red collar.

"C'mon, Einstein, calm down!" Naruto groaned as he was hauled along by the dog, barely managing to keep up with the eager Great Dane as he trotted along. He'd nearly been pulled off his feet multiple times now, with no sign of Einstein slowing down. "We'll get to the park eventually, okay?!"

Einstein barked happily, with not even the cold weather being enough to slow him down, thanks to both his large size  and his grey colored coat keeping him warm. All sorts of interesting smells seemed to just encourage him to quicken his pace as he practically dragged his puny young owner along with him.

*Least he’s getting exercise…* Naruto thought to himself as he did his best from being lifted off his feet while walking his dog.

Eventually, mercifully for Naruto, they did arrive at Konoha's park, Einstein stopping at the entrance and looking around happily, his gigantic pink tongue glistening with saliva as he panted eagerly and his thin tail wagged back and forth. Naruto caught up to him, the blonde boy panting as he tried to keep from tripping up from the sudden stop.

"Okay, we're finally here," he said. He unhooked Einstein's leash. "Go off and play somewhere, okay? I'm gonna be training."

No sooner had Naruto said this, Einstein quickly gave his right cheek a big lick. Not enough to lift Naruto up to his tippy toes or completely off the ground, but still strong enough to push the skin of the cheek upwards and squish the kid’s eye completely shut for a couple of moments. Naruto grinned as the tongue slid all the way off, watching as his dog ran off to explorer, even as he was wiping the layer of dog slobber off his cheek with the sleeve of his orange jacket.

“That dog’s really something else… OH well," he said with a smirk, shrugging. "Not my problem for a while!" He jogged over to an open spot in the park and started doing warm-up exercises. "Alright, time to train! That Rasengan's not gonna get any bigger by itself, believe it!"

Einstein, quite frankly, was enjoying himself quite a bit as he walked in the park, taking in the sights and smells around himself as happily as any dog could, regardless of breed or size. The fact that he had an owner caring enough to bring him on walks seemed to just make it even better. And to top it off? His owner happened to be cute and very fun to lick!

Though honestly, in the months that he had been living with Naruto, there was something lacking.

Einstein had been more used to his old life before arriving in Konoha, where he'd had many other dogs to play with whenever his owner wasn't around. When Naruto was off at training it was always boring for Einstein, even if he did give Naruto a thorough and affectionate licking every time he came home. Einstein looked around, wondering if there were any other dogs that would fit the bill in Konoha.

So far, he hasn’t seen any in all of the other times Naruto had brought him out to the park, but he was still hopeful regardless. After all, what dog in their right mind could possibly NOT want to come to a park?

Einstein was suddenly interrupted in mid-thought as an unfamiliar scent entered the nostrils of his big black nose. It didn't smell like any other dog Einstein had seen while he was in Konoha, and so he put his nose to the ground and started following the scent. It was definitely a dog smell though, full of hair and, weirdly enough, sea salt. Last that Einstein checked, with how the village was laid out, any possible beach would likely have to be a LONG ways from wherever Konoha was. Well, whomever this dog was, he could just ask why he smelled like sea salt once he met him.

Hopefully this particular dog was a friendly one!

~

A big shaggy Old English Sheepdog, in the meantime, was doing his own sniffing. Something in this park smelled absolutely delicious, like the most flavorful ramen ever, and he was hot on its trail. He pushed his way through some bushes, only for his own big black nose to come into contact with a second nose just like it. One of the sheepdog’s eyes peeked out from the fur that covered his eye as he looked up, cocking his head in confusion at Einstein’s presence.

The aforementioned Great Dane found himself blinking in surprise as he found himself nose to nose with quite possibly the BIGGEST sheepdog he met. Granted, Einstein was taller thanks to his legs… But this sheepdog wasn’t too far behind in the height department, so he’d still tower over Naruto. Not to mention he was bulkier than Einstein, with a LOT of white and grey fur, even for his breed.

However, the new dog still smelled fairly friendly, and Einstein woofed out a greeting, his giant pink tongue dangling as he panted happily at the sheepdog.

The sheepdog smiled, his stubby tail wagging from the great dane’s friendly disposition. After they introduced themselves to one other in the language of dogs, Max (as Einstein found out was the sheepdog’s name) asked about what and where that DELICIOUS salty ramen smell was.

Einstein only knew one person in Konoha that smelled as delicious as Max was describing, and his tail started wagging faster as he nodded and wuffed for Max to follow him. He could see Naruto a good ways across the park from them, and started running, heading right for him.

Naruto had been leaning against a large tree, having just recently started taking a break from training with sweat dripping from his brow.No sooner had he done so, however, he heard his dog’s familiar bark… And then another one reached his ear, but this one…

This one was unfamiliar to the boy.

Naruto looked around, watching to see where Einstein was coming from. He quickly spotted the big Great Dane, but also noticed that another dog, this one big, heavyset, and fluffy, was charging at him right next to him.

*Who the heck is that?* he thought, standing up and peering forward to see if he could identify them. Unfortunately for him, well, this gave the dogs some extra time to get there quicker.

And with their speed, this meant that every step their paws took, they got closer, and closer and closer. The moment he had to crane his neck up just a tad to see just how much bigger Einstein’s new friend was, the sheepdog knocked him flat on his butt, with both dogs now looming over him!

"Oof!" Naruto whoofed out air as he was pushed to the ground by this brand new dog, looking up at both him and Einstein. "Uh...what's up, you two?"

He blanched as both dogs opened their mouths, letting a pair of fat pink slobbery tongues flop out over him.  The sheepdog pressed his nose against the side of Naruto’s head, taking a big SNIIIIIIIIIFF as he  allowed his nostrils to take the boy’s scent in. Naruto crinkled his nose from the feeling of the dog’s big, black wet nose against his head, the coldness amplified by the autumn weather.

Max’s stubby tail wagged in delight, glad to have finally met the source of the smell!

"Well, hey to you too, boy!" Naruto said with a dorky smile as he reached up, scratching the sheepdog’s fluffy neck as he searched for a collar. "It's nice to meet you...Max,"

After reading the tag, he looked over at Einstein. "So you found a friend, huh, boy?"

Einstein woofed back as his way of saying yes, his tail wagging as hard as Max’s was.

“Don’t see an address for some reason…” Naruto said with an eyebrow raised in confusion as he scratched Max’s neck. Soon enough, Max showed his appreciation for the scratching in a way as a dog would as he rolled his tongue out.

“Aw man," Naruto groaned, right before...

SPLAT!

Max's gigantic pink tongue slapped onto his face, squashing it and rolling it up as he slurped it up Naruto's cheek, lifting his cheek up and squashing his eye shut and leaving a thick trail of shiny slobber in his wake. Naruto grimaced as Max slurped his cheek up and up, the sheepdog enjoying how tasty it was as the tongue slid up slowly.

Inch by inch, the whisker marked cheek was held up by the huge pink tongue, practically covering Naruto’s eye all the while!

*Oh great…* Naruto thought as Max's big tongue slid slowly up his cheek. *Another slobber monster to deal with*.

Thankfully for him, Max was merciful enough to at least finish. The instant the tongue had finally released it’s hold on the boy’s cheek, the sheepdog licked his lips in great satisfaction from the taste. Einstein barked, glad to see his new friend was enjoying how Naruto tasted!

Naruto sat up, rubbing his slobbered cheek as he looked at Max.

"Heh, I guess I tasted pretty good, didn't I, boy?" He looked at Einstein next. "And I see your new friend is just as slobbery as you are, Einstein!"

Einstein simply laid down next to Naruto, trapping the boy between two dogs MUCH bigger than him, and proceeded to plant his tongue against Naruto’s other cheek and started lifting it up.

"Oh noooooooo," Naruto groaned as his other cheek was now being lifted up by Einstein's own giant tongue, his nose crinkling from the sensation of his cheek stretched upwards. "Not you too, Einstein! Come on, you guys, I have to train!"

Now sooner had Einstein’s tongue slurped all the way off of his cheek, he suddenly something big and pink smack into the very center of his face and press all the way to his ears. Max then started sliding his tongue up the kid’s face, lifting both of his cheeks and his nose upwards.

"MMMMMMMPH!" Naruto kicked his feet around, unable to try and get the dog off of him as Max's gigantic tongue enveloped his entire face and dragged upward, stretching it out cartoonishly as he did so. The sound of slurping echoed throughout the park as this happened, with Naruto having no choice but to endure this huge lick. Even his forehead was being stretched out by this huge dog’s form of affection!

As Max's tongue reached Naruto's forehead, the boy's eyes were stretched fully open, before finally, with a great spray of drool, Max's tongue slurped itself off of his face.

"Whoa! That's some tongue, haha!" he said, unable to stop himself from laughing even as his face was now completely covered in drool. Probably didn’t help his blonde hair was now slicked upwards thanks to Max’s tongue, which just made him look even more ridiculous.Einstein, barked happily that he had a new friend who was every bit a strong licked as he was. So overjoyed was he that he had another go at licking Naruto!

"Oh no!" Naruto groaned before EInstein's big tongue once again slapped against his cheek, lifting it up just as much. This time, Einstein’s tongue seemed to tilt his whole head to the side as he lifted Naruto’s cheek.

“No. No licking!” Naruto giggled as his Great Dane companion slurped up his squishy cheek. No sooner had Einstein’s tongue flicked off his cheek, he suddenly felt Max’s tongue slap itself onto his neck, and started working it’s way upwards.

"Gyuuuuuuuuuugh!” He groaned again as his head was pushed backwards, eventually going to roughly pointing 90 degrees as Max's giant tongue dragged up his neck, over his throat, and up to the tip of his chin before slurping off again. Just as it looked like he was going to be pushed onto his back, both of the dogs suddenly placed themselves closer to him, with their front legs preventing this from happening.

\*SMACK\*

Naruto could now feel both of his cheeks being pressed against two huge tongues, to the point where his lips were now puckering!

"Goooooooooooooooooohhhh!" Naruto's cheeks being squashed was a whole new experience in slobber for him, the pair's massive tongues lifting them both up and nearly lifting his whole smaller frame off the ground as they dragged their tongues upward. Just as it looked like Naruto actually was going to be lifted off the ground, the tongues completely flicked off of his face, causing him to fall onto his back!

"Yurk!" Naruto yelped as he fell onto his back, looking up at both dogs and their giant tongues. "Hehe...you two...having fun?"

The two barked in response before the each pinned him down, laying each of their large bodies on one side of Naruto’s smaller frame, his legs included!

"Aw nooooooo!" Naruto groaned. "C'mon, guys, not again! You can't just slobber all over me whenever you feel like it!"

Unfortunately for Naruto, this was the exact opposite when it came to dogs, especially ones that were much bigger than a boy who was vertically challenged even for his age.

Einstein and Max proved this to him when they lowered their heads down, and each started having a go at squishing a cheek with their tongues!

"Gyuuuugh!" Naruto groaned again as his cheeks were once again squashed together, puckering his lips once again like they were the fillings of a tongue sandwich. This time, the two dogs did slower than when they did this last, really taking their time to enjoy the taste of his whisker marked cheeks! Naruto could do nothing while pinned underneath the two canines, not even kick his legs helplessly as the two dogs' tongues lingered on his cheeks, somehow managing to squash them up even more than they had before. All the while, he was giving out muffled laughter as the Great Dane and the sheepdog enjoyed themselves, bonding over a mutual love and appreciation for licking Naruto. The boy couldn't see anything but either his own cheeks or the pink of the two dogs' tongues as he was licked, but he couldn't help himself: it tickled! He squirmed underneath the two dogs as they kept licking his face, a puddle of slobber quickly forming around the group.

It truly was surreal for Naruto that Einstein had found another dog, one almost as huge and just as capable of giving such big licks! It was clear that the two were already becoming such fast friends as they bonded this way.

"G-guys!" Naruto said, gulping with laughter as he pulled his arms out from under his ‘assailants’ and tried to push both of the much bigger dogs off of him; "D-down, dogs! Down! Y-you're soakin' me! Hahahahaha!"

The dogs merely pushed his hands off of their muzzles by pressing their tongues on the palms of his hands, licking upwards and covering them each with a layer of slobber!

"Euuuuugh!" Naruto groaned, helplessly giggling as he just let his hands flop to the side. "Alright, alright, you got me! Just get it over with!"

Einstein and Max looked at each other for a couple of moments, the two dogs grinning at what he’d said.

And like that? Naruto’s vision was suddenly filled with pink, as one huge tongue covered the right side of his face and another covered the left side!

"MMMMPH!" Naruto mumbled beneath the pair of tongues, flailing his feet around again as the two dogs smothered his face in a pair of sloppy pink blankets. And with his eyes completely and forcibly shut, he couldn’t even see those tongues if he wanted to! All the while, Naruto was just hoping no one was watching this whole thing play out.

Someone **was**, however. Hinata Hyuga had come to the park as well, to spend a quiet day and maybe see Naruto. Of course, from behind the tree she was watching the scene from behind, she could tell Naruto was \*not\* having a quiet day as the two enormous dogs slobbered all over him, repeatedly covering his face with their gigantic tongues. Hinata couldn’t help but cover her mouth to muffle her giggling, the demure Hyuuga heiress finding it rather adorable that Naruto was such a magnet for big friendly dogs, especially considering she’d seen Naruto’s Great Dane companion slobber him in public a couple of time while out on walks.

Max and Einstein continued to slobber all over Naruto, sending showers of drool flying everywhere as their massive tongues slapped his face back and forth, rolling up his cheeks each time they did. As Hinata watched, she noticed that her crush was looking tired, possibly to the point where he was going to pass out from all the slurping the dogs were giving him!

And she was right; by this point Naruto's protests were much more breathless and weak, his arms slowly waving around as both dogs continually slobbered his face. Hinata soon saw Naruto had been rendered, a huge dopey grin on his face forming as he laid there with the dogs lifting the skin of his cheeks with their tongues.

As Naruto stopped moving, both Einstein and Max suddenly perked up, their large noses sniffing out another delicious smell that had entered their noses. Sticking their muzzles low to the ground they started to sniff, stepping over naruto's thoroughly-slobbered body...and heading towards the tree where Hinata was hiding!

Max let his big pink tongue flop out as Hinata came nose-to-nose with him, and swept it up from her chin to her forehead, stretching hone latter out cartoonishly with a great slobbery slurping sound. Hinata gave out a muffled squeak as the sheepdog licked her face with such force that not only was her face stretched out, but she was even being lifted up to tippy toes!

Max slurped his tongue off of Hinata's face in a huge spray of drool, the girl’ looking as if she were going to stumble after her feet were fully planted back on the ground. Max suddenly sat on his haunches, putting his big paws on Hinata's shoulders to keep her still and continued to lick her face, his enormous tongue slapping against the heiress’s soft, squishy cheeks over and over again.

Hinata giggled as she stood there, unable to back away from Max’s barrage of cheek lifting kisses. Her hair was even turning into a saliva covered, disheveled mess from how feverishly she was being licked.

“P-please! Stop!” She said.

Max didn't stop, however, and instead switched targets, repeatedly slurping her from chin to forehead and covering her face in even more drool.

“MHMPH!”

Hinata’s muffled laugh was music to the sheepdog’s ears as he went to town on the hyuuga’s face, enjoying how lickable the girl was. It certainly helped as she was scratching Max around his neck, as it emboldened Max to put more of his weight on Hinata's shoulders as he continued licking her face eagerly. In the meantime, Einstein was sneaking up behind her, his own gigantic pink tongue hanging out as he panted eagerly.

Even if she had the byuakugan activated, the heiress wouldn’t have been able to sense the Great Dane coming from behind, given that she was distracted by the sheepdog that was currently slurping her face. Max swept his head around, his giant tongue slapping against Hinata's cheek with a loud SPLAT! that squashed her cheek into a pancake and caused her to abruptly do a spin, coming face to face with Einstein and his absolutely massive tongue!

Unlike with Max, Einstein naturally lifted Hinata completely off the ground thanks to the sheer size difference between the girl (who herself was at least still taller than Naruto) and the dog, his tongue stretching her face upward as he lifted her into the air.

Max barked approvingly as Hinata was outright lifted off the ground by Einstein's tongue, before it slurped off in a huge spray of drool. Hinata fell to the ground again, but as soon as her sandals touched the ground Einstein's tongue slapped onto the underside of her chin, tilting her head back 90 degrees as his tongue dragged up her jaw and stretched her chin out. If anyone had been witnessing the whole thing, the look on the girl’s face would’ve been considered priceless, given how comically her eyes bugged out from the force of the lick! As soon as Einstein's tongue swept off of Hinata's chin with another spray of drool, both dogs came around to her front to pant at her, their enormous pink slobbery tongues hanging out as they smiled at her.

Hinata giggled as she wiped the dogs’ slobber off her face with the cream colored sleeve of her jacket

“I-I see you two are quite a pair… I think Naruto-kun would be happy having two dogs living with him instead of just you Einstein.” She said softly as she  pat the Great Dane on his muzzle.

Max and Einstein looked at one another, grinning, before they each gave Hinata a big slurp on opposite cheeks in thanks for the great idea, sending two more sprays of drool flying off of her face. Hinata had to press her hand against a tree to stop herself from falling tot he ground thanks to the dogs’ respective licks. After that, they walked over to the unconscious boy, ready to bring him over to Tsunade to help with the process of having the sheepdog be adopted by Naruto.

Einstein craned his long, muscular neck down and nudged Naruto with his nose, trying to wake the thoroughly-slobbered boy up. When Naruto didn’t budge from the nudging, Einstein blinked before he tried again. When it didn’t work, he looked at Hinata and Max for a moment before turning back to his owner, and proceeded to flip the boy with his paw, enabling him to use his jaws to clamp onto to the back of Naruto’s jacket and hoisted him off the ground, deciding to just simply bring the unconscious boy to the tower by carrying him.

Max panted in approval, turning back to Hinata and wagging his tail as he continued to pant before leaping upward, his tongue impacting Hinata's cheek with a SPLAT! as he lifted it up one last time before trotting off after Einstein. The lick, having caught Hinata off guard, knocked her to the ground, pivoting and face planting into the grass. She looked up, a gentle smile on her face as she watched the dogs bring the boy to the Hokage tower, with Einstein leading Max.

With Naruto dangling from his mouth, Einstein happily trotted towards the Hokage's tower, Max on his trail and from time to time giving Naruto a big sloppy lick in the face whenever it came within easy reach of his tongue.

(***Hours later***)

It was well into the evening, as Naruto was walking home not only Einstein, but Max home with him. Or rather, he was walking home, with Lady Tsunade helping by keeping a strong grip on both of the two large dogs’ respective leashes at the same time.

The reason for this strange site was, naturally, because  Max had officially become Naruto’s new dog, thanks to some paperwork done by Tsunade.

As soon as they got to Naruto’s apartment, Tsunade handed Max’s new blue leash while it was hooked on Max’s equally blue new collar to Naruto.

“Later kid, hope you can handle having two pets!” Tsunade said as she watched Naruto and his dogs go into his apartment , grinning to herself in amusement from the fact that he now had two slurp happy dogs to contend with.

As Naruto shut the door behind him, Max and Einstein stood in front of him, panting eagerly as they both wagged their tails. Naruto chuckled at the way the two looked at him.

“Gotta say, it’ll be interesting having both of you living here!”

Both dogs nodded, sending their giant tongues flopping around before they both leapt at Naruto, tackling him back against the door and plastering their tongues onto his cheeks, squashing him between them both! Naruto was lifted to his toes by the combined lick, forced to pucker his lips as the skin of his cheeks were lifted upwards. The instant the tongues of both dogs slurped off of Naruto's face in twin sprays of drool, both Einstein and Max then kicked it up another notch  with their licking and filled the hallway with a chorus of splats.

Naruto found himself backing up down the hallway and into his living room, his face being stretched out by two large tongues all the while as he laughing  boyishly. Max and Einstein continued to slurp the runty blonde’s face eagerly, slapping his cheeks back and forth and rolling them up with each slobbery smack.

“G-guys, settle down!” Naruto laughed as he was practically forced into the living room, stepping backwards until he found himself falling into his recliner. The dogs didn't stop, though, piling into the recliner alongside Naruto and alternating their tongues to slurp him from chin to forehead again and again. Naruto’s laughter was muffled as a result as he was forced to remain seated in the recliner, unable to escape his dogs’ respective tongues while they stretched his face out.

A steady cadence of splatting sounds was all that anybody outside would hear as both enormous tongues kept hitting Naruto in the face, squashing his cheeks, pushing his eye shut, stretching his forehead out, and in general absolutely soaking him in slobber. Naruto couldn’t even move his arms out in an attempt wipe the slobber , thanks to the two large dogs pressing themselves against him while he was in the chair, his skin even felt like taffy to the dogs’ as they stretched it upwards!

After some time licking the boy's face, both dogs backed off, panting eagerly as they looked at him, their tails still wagging happily. Naruto tried to get back up shakily, a grin adorned on his slobber covered face as he brushed his dribble drenched hair away from his eyes.

“Y-you guys are something else-“

Max interrupted by wrapping his front paws around the back of his neck, his greater strength and size allowing him to push Naruto back onto the chair as he panted in his face.

Max was so happy at his new home that he couldn't do anything else but keep licking Naruto, flattening his tongue out as much as he could to take as much as Naruto's face in its sloppy pink folds as possible.
