Tiger and Talbot & Naruto 1

(A/N: Credit goes to Taren for helping bring this idea for this first in a new series of stories to life).

﻿The Hokage's office was normally busy this time of day; running a village full of ninjas was a full time job in more than one way, and Tsunade normally had no time for any other pursuits during her working hours. Of course, that was before she'd gotten dogs, and dogs didn't care whether or not she was working...such as now.

Tsunade was forced to lean back in her chair, annoyed yet loving mumbles working their way out of her mouth. Her face was currently covered by a pair of great big dog tongues, the owners of which were mopping them around her face and squashing it up like clay while drool dripped off of Tsunade's chin. The two great danes, Tiger and Talbot, had no sense of timing or patience, and so when they decided Tsunade was in for a licking, a licking she would get.

Tiger (who was on Tsunade’s left) had a tan and light colored coat, with a thick and studded blue collar wrapped around the great dane’s muscular neck.

Whereas Talbot (who was on Tsunade’s right), had a brown coat and a red version of the thick collar.

Inspite of her legendary Herculean strength and her annoyed muffles, she didn’t do anything to resist the licking of her new pets. If anything, she’d needed something to take her mind off of her work, especially since Shizune had to bring Tonton, her pet pig, to do a veterinary checkup.

Tsunade gently pushed at both great dane brothers, trying to get them off of her as her cheeks were rolled up over and over again, soaking her face in more and more drool. The two had enjoyed licking her every chance they got, whether she was at home or she was working. She didn't \*mind\*--it was good to have something to take her mind off of Hokage business for a while, but the size of their tongues often meant she was smothered for a while, and while she was tough, she didn't really anticipate ever being slobbered unconscious by a pair of big affectionate dogs.

Dogs that were so big in fact, that on all fours, they were easily about the same as a fully grown adult person. As a result, Tsunade was one of very VERY few people in the village that was able to physically handle the two dogs on her own.

Thankfully, during the great dane brothers’ slobbery session with their beautiful owner, they’d switched from smothering her whole face to just slurping her cheeks up from the side one at a time, allowing Tsunade to breathe a bit better, the veteran medic and warrior giving an amused smirk as Tiger pushed her right eye shut forcibly by slurping her cheek upwards.

"Alright, alright, get off me you two, I need to work!" Tsunade said as soon as Talbot’s tongue flicked off of her left cheek, having finally pushed both Great Danes off of her. She took a part of her haori and whirled it around her face to wipe off the thick coat of slobber. As she did, her eyes caught her appointment calendar for the day. Naruto was actually coming by soon, and an evil grin spread across Tsunade's face as an idea entered her mind.

"Say, you two...how would you like to go play with someone else?"

“In fact… I think I might’ve mentioned him to you a couple of times…” Tsunade said as she withheld the urge to cackle impishly; “Does the name ‘Naruto’ ring any bells?”

Tiger and Talbot cocked their respectively big heads a bit as they tried to remember. It took a couple of moments of thought, but they  eventually looked at their mistress and nodded.

Tsunade’s grin never wavered, as thoughts of payback for all the times she’d been called ‘Granny’ by the loud mouthed shortstack of a blonde boy danced in her head.

"He should actually be coming right now," she said as she rubbed her freshly-licked cheeks and grinned. "Why don't you two go say hi before he makes his way up here?"

Barking eagerly, Tiger and Talbot ran out of the office and down to the bottom floor of the building. Where, coincidentally, a young boy in a familiar orange tracksuit was making his entrance...

~

Naruto Uzumaki was  a little unsure why this appointment Tsunade had with him would require any sort of evaluation, given that he never really had this with the last Hokage (may he Rest In Peace).

Still, he couldn’t exactly go against ‘Granny’ Tsunade’s wishes, not unless he wanted to be dragged into the office by his ear by a woman capable of lobbing boulders as easily as one would with shuriken.

Of course, he didn’t really have anything to do to begin with. Well, that is, until Naruto heard the sounds of claws clicking on the building's floor and saw a pair of Great Danes, one white and one dark brown, charging at him, their massive pink tongues trailing out behind them like flags.

Little did he know how \*priceless\* a reaction he had on his face as he yelped, and attempted to dart to the side, only to find that the dogs were more than capable of keeping up with him as he ran around the room. In fact, the dogs were showing to be faster thanks to their long legs.

And not only were they fast, but that size of theirs meant they were \*strong\*, as shown when the simple act of charging reduced the shadow clones Naruto had summoned into a puff of smoke. Then again, the clones themselves were about as durable as wet paper anyway, so it wasn’t like it was that hard to do anyway.

To make matters worse, they were hunting dogs, and so were built for speed and maneuverability. Soon they'd chased Naruto around enough to back the young ninja into a corner, where he plastered himself against the wall, holding his hands out as the two dogs advanced on him, their huge tongues hanging out of their mouths like big pink welcome mats.

The dogs had thankfully stopped with impeccable timing for dogs of their size, though that size meant that Naruto had no opening he could use to squeeze by as he was trapped against the wall.

“N-nice doggies… R-really BIG doggies…” Naruto said with a nervous grin as he looked at them, not helped by the fact that both of the dogs towered over him so much that he came up to their forelegs. As a result of the size difference, the dog with the red collar barked as he leaned his upper body down so that his face was level with Naruto’s own.

The brown Great Dane simply panted right up in Naruto’s face, the warm breath making Naruto’s nose crinkle a bit. Just as Naruto was about to say anything else however?

\*SMACK\*

Naruto’s eyes bugged out as the tongue planted itself against his left cheek, the act of it alone actually pushing the skin of it upward without even having to move an inch!

"Mmmmmmmm!" Naruto grunted as his cheek was lifted up from the slap of the dog’s tongue, knowing that soon he'd be lifted to his tiptoes when the dog decided to slurp his tongue upward, along with the fact that his cheek would be lifted up even further. The blonde naturally found himself unable to see out of his eye at the moment as he felt the great dane’s tongue lift his cheek up hugely, even to the point of where it lifted the left side of his upperlip along with his cheek!

"Quit iiiiiiit!" Naruto moaned as the giant tongue lifted upward, lifting him to his tiptoes as he did.

The dog ignored his whine, simply opting to lift him completely off the floor with his tongue as he licked him.

Naruto could do nothing but feel flabbergasted that such massive dogs existed, even having  being so physically impressive that their tongues enabled them to give strong licks even FOR their size.

No sooner had the great dane’s tongue finished pushing the blonde me cheek up, Naruto grunted as he landed on his butt.

Rubbing his backside and wiping dog slobber off his cheek with a sleeve, he got to his feet and stood on his tippy toes just so he could reach an arm up and pull the collar down somewhat so he could read the tag.

“‘Talbot’?… Kinda name is that?” Naruto muttered confusedly.

As if to say "Mine!" Talbot barked proudly as Tiger walked up as well. He looked at Naruto's dry cheek, his tail starting to wag before his tongue swung forward, landing on Naruto's face with another wet splatting sound.

Naruto’s toes curled from the sensation of the wet smack on his cheek, once again finding himself being lifted off his cheek by a cheek stretching lick that momentarily blinded him. Thankfully, his grip on Talbot’s collar meant that once the tongue slid all the way off his cheek, he was able to land on his feet (albeit shakily) instead of landing on his rump.

As he wiped his cheek off with a sleeve, he saw that the blue collared dog’s tag read ‘Tiger’, rather fitting as a name given his size and strength really.

"Tiger and Talbot, huh?" he asked, looking from dog to dog. "Granny Tsunade sent you down here, didn’t she?!"

Both dogs nodded eagerly, letting their huge pink tongues out again.

Before he could say anything else, Tiger  suddenly lifted him up by the scruff of his jacket, the boy squirming in midair as he was dangled from the dog’s jaws.

“What do you think you’re-“

Talbot interrupted him by quickly licking him. The licking didn’t have the same forcefulness and slow and steady pace as the first big lick Talbot gave him previously, the licking was still firm and strong enough here one of his cheeks was still being pushed up by the licking.

"Mmmmm!' Naruto groaned again at the slurp as his cheek bounced from the lick, but Tiger and Talbot carried him off deeper into the building, wandering back in the direction of Tsunade's office to bring her her visitor.

Tsunade, in the meantime, was in her office, passing the time by rhythmically drumming her desk, with a more casual and mellow grin than usual as she waited.

Previously, she would’ve still been a bit annoyed from having previously gotten slobbered by Tiger and Talbot, given she still had a bit of slobber in her hair from the slurping she got from them (and on her haori from having to wipe it off her face).

However, she couldn’t stay annoyed with her pets for long. Not only were massive sweat hearts on top of being massive dogs; but she knew that the instant that she first saw them a month ago after they were given to her as a gift that they were just as special as Tonton.

Besides, she wouldn’t be the only one who’d get a tongue bath from those incredulously colossal canines today. Oh how she wished she’d seen the warm weather welcome  that her pets no doubt given her young visitor, unable to help BUT imagine how Naruto’s face probably would’ve looked.

“Lady Tsunade?” A secretary’s voice said from the intercom.

“Yes?”

“Naruto Uzumaki’s here to see you… It’d also appear your new dogs ‘escorted’ him…”

“Show them in…” Tsunade said.

In just a couple of moments, the door opened and in walked Naruto…

Or rather, in walked Tiger and Talbot, with Naruto dangling from Tiger’s mouth by his jacket and some drool dripping down from one of his cheeks, no doubt from the latter having given him some canine kisses ain’t the way.

A huuuuge grin formed on Tsunade’s face as she saw the greatly irritated look on Naruto’s face while he was being escorted in, withholding the urge to laugh herself out of her chair.

“Well well, you made it on time kiddo! And I see you’ve met my new pets too…” She said with an expression that ooozed with cheekiness.

"Yeah, yeah, Granny, now make 'em let me go!" Naruto flailed a bit in Tiger's jaws, the dog's grip holding firm. “I didn’t need to be slobbered by them!”

“You sure about that? Seems to me like that’s a good thing… You could use some more baths anyway!” Tsunade retorted, giving him a more devious smile to add to her cheeky tone of voice.

The woman had to fight the urge to laugh at Naruto’s pitiful attempt at a stink eye, finding quite a bit of entertainment from the little pipsqueak’s predicament.

As if to punctuate Tsunade's teasing, Talbot hit Naruto's cheek with a quick, firm swipe of his tongue, the soft splat echoing around the office and lifting Naruto's cheek up at the same time. The way Naruto cringed from the sensation of the tongue swiping the cheek up was so amusing that Tsunade had wished she’d gotten a camera out beforehand, if only to have something to remember.

At the same time though, it was a somewhat cute sight in her opinion. It reminded her of a time when her little brother had a similar encounter with a similarly large dog. Except the dog in question only \*half\* Great Dane, the other half was that of an akita inu. In fact, it was a partial reason why she’d adopted Tiger and Talbot to begin with, since seeing those two had reminded her of the image of her brother getting his cheeks stretched out by the massive mixed breed.

After Talbot had gotten a couple more quick yet firm swipes on Naruto’s cheek, Tsunade giggled aloud before saying;

“Alright Talbot, that’s a good boy… I think you should give Tiger a turn with him…”

"What?! Aw come on, Granny!" Naruto flailed a bit more as Tiger dropped him on the floor. No did the boy land, the Great Dane dove on top of him, pinning him to the ground with the dog’s massive paws on the shoulders and letting his giant pink tongue dangle out over Naruto's face, glistening with drool. "Come on, call 'em off! I don't want another bath!"

Tiger simply pinned Naruto down even further by gently plopping himself down and laying on top of the boy, pinning his arms under the large dog’s body.

“Pfffffff, looks to me like Tiger disagrees with you!” Tsunade said before she could no longer hold it in anymore, laughter finally escaping her lips.

Tiger punctuated Tsunade's laughter by starting to slurp Naruto from his chin to his forehead, over and over, each slurp stretching out the boy's face as Tiger slapped his giant tongue against Naruto’s smaller face again and again.

With his arms pinned down so thoroughly under the weight of the Great Dane, Naruto couldn’t even attempt to push the dog’s face away from his own. That’s not to say he’d succeed in it, given the overwhelming size and strength between the dog and the boy.

Having managed to calm herself down long enough to watch the little spectacle, Tsunade grinned as Naruto got a slobber session of his own, the muffled sounds of annoyance under the tongue like music to the woman.

“Make sure you wash him behind the ears!” Tsunade said jokingly.

Talbot barked in agreement and then joined in on the licking, both tongues slapping and slurping and sloshing against Naruto's face as they molded his face around like putty.

Each tongue was now stretching his face out, making not giving Naruto a chance to make an audible protest. Not helped by the fact that Tiger kept him pinned down while Talbot was joining in on the super slurp kisses.

This, in Tsunade’s mind, was absolutely the BEST way she’d ever gotten payback on the blonde boy. Frankly, she should’ve thought of this from the start, given how powerless the boy was against the Great Danes. She then leaned back in her chair, putting her feet up on a clear spot on her desk as she watched the two dogs wag their tails and listening to the sloshing noises and Naruto's muffled protests, the odd drop of drool flying up into Tsunade's view.

Tsunade thankfully wasn’t that grossed out given her experience as a medic, not to mention her having already been slurped silly by her dogs before Naruto came over.

*I’ll just let them have their fun for a while… The brat’s evaluation can wait…* Tsunade thought to herself with a grin.

As for Naruto, the full face licks had even gotten to the point Tiger and actually slurped him with enough force that his headband actually flew OFF off his forehead and landed on Tsunade’s desk.

It didn’t take long before Naruto’s bangs went from covering his forehead to being slicked upwards by dog slobber, with the dogs  licking different parts of his face that eventually allowed Naruto to speak.

"Blugh! C-C'mon, guYUUURK! L-Lemme up! S-stop that!" Naruto begged as the loud splatting noises only increased in volume as the two dogs continued to slap their massve tongues onto his face and slurp them upward, stretching his cheeks out and pulling his forehead up with them, Naruto's legs unable to even kick and flail helplessly under Tiger’s body. The two dogs continued wagging their tails, whining happily as they smothered the boy in licks.

“Well, seeing as you’re not going to be interrupting me anyway Naruto, I think I’ll just give you the evaluation during your special grooming…” Tsunade said as she pulled out a small bottle of sake and casually took a swig as if Naruto wasn’t being bathed by a pair of towering pooches; “From what I can tell from the reports; you’re definitely still keeping up your training. Unfortunately for you, well… You still rely way too much on your clones. Definitely gets you in trouble quite a few times I might…”

Tsunade’s grin momentarily widened when Talbot interrupted an attempted protest from Naruto, the dog’s tongue pushing his cheek to the point where his eye was completely covered and getting a groan of disgust.

“Thankfully, my dogs just may’ve given me an idea to fix that…” Tsunade said as her thoughtful expression turned to that of cheekiness ; “From now on, as per my decree as Hokage… You’ll have some play dates with my pets!”

"Oh \*come mmmmmmmph!\*" Naruto tried to say, just as Tiger's massive tongue smothered his whole face in its slobbery folds. Playdates with these two slobbery mutts? Who knew how many days a week he’d be getting licked?! Three, five, a WHOLE seven days?

Naruto found himself actially beating the floor with his feets under Tiger’s great weight as the blue collared dog and his brother continued to smother the blonde boy. The sight of Naruto’s reactions from getting his face slurped and stretched made Tsunade more glad than ever that she’d gotten these dogs, given how well they’d easily be able to keep the hard headed boy in line.

“What’s wrong? Can’t handle a couple of dogs? Hmmmmmmmm?” Tsunade teased.

Naruto's response was only more groaning and muffled shouts as the two dogs continued to slobber all over him, stretching and molding his face like a ball of clay.

“Well, I’ll take that as your way of accepting it then…” Tsunade said as she took a swig, swallowing some sake as she watched the front row entertainment before her.

Having noticed that the boy looked close to passing out, Tsunade put her index finger and thumb to her lips and gave a sharp whistle, causing her pets to look up from the sputtering and coughing Naruto.

“All right boys, he’s good and clean. Just carry him home, you’ll be able to play with him tomorrow!”

Tiger and Talbot both barked in agreement. Tiger bent down and grabbed Naruto by his collar, hoisting him into the air as the thoroughly-slobbered boy groaned in dread at tomorrow.

"Ah great! So I got slobbered here \*and\* I'm getting slobbered agian tomorrow?! This stinks!" He continued tomplaining as both dogs left the room with him, Tsunade allowing herself a chuckle.

As she did, Talbot turned his head towards Tsunade and barked, rushing towards her, no doubt having decided to give his mistress some affection before accompanying his brother.

"Oh, so you're not done with me, huh?" Tsunade asked with a grin as she spread her arms open. She indeed was correct, as Talbot leapt onto her, the chair toppling under the added force of the Great Dane’s tackle and causing the hokage to land back first on the floor.

"Oof!"

Tsunade whoofed out air as the big Great Dane tackled her and knocked her out of her chair, and she laughed as she looked up at Talbot's face and his gigantic tongue. "Alright boy, lay it on me!"

Not wasting time, Talbot started things off with an audible-

\*SMACK\*

The woman crinkled her nose yet unable help but grin as her dog’s tongue’s planted against one of her cheeks, the size of the tongue allowing it to already cause her eye to be forcibly shut.
