Tiger & Talbot and Naruto 2

A/N:

Heyo, sorry for the late response. Life has been making sure I don’t slack off.

Anyway, here’s a brand new installment for a series that Taren and I created.

Hope you enjoy it!

\_\_\_\_

Morning began in Konoha, more specifically, at the abode of Lady Tsunade, the fifth hokage of the village.

Despite all attempts, the early morning light couldn’t quite fully penetrate the closed window curtains, as Tsunade had wanted to get a few more minutes of sleep before she started the day.

As she stayed nice and snuggled under the covers and sheets of her bed, however, she was unaware that a pair of four legged somebodies had woken up first in the seperate bedroom that was set up for them. The aforementioned somebodies, or course, were non other than her pet Great Dane siblings, Tiger (the tan colored one with the blue studded collar) and Talbot (the brown colored one with the red studded collar).

As it just so happened, Tsunade had forgotten to close her door all the way, making it easy for Talbot to gently push it open with his big, wet nose. Talbot pushed the door open entirely, and stepped into the room, his claws clicking quietly on the floor as he looked at Tsunade on her futon. He turned back to Tiger right behind him, and grinned, letting his gigantic tongue flop out as his tail started to eagerly wag. Tiger did the same, and the two made their way into the room, each one taking one side of Tsunade. At a mute count of three...

SPLAT! SQUISH! Tsunade was rudely jolted awake by a pair of enormous tongues sandwiching her cheeks between them, squashing them up. She flailed her arms by reflex, but soon calmed down as both dogs dragged their tongues up her cheeks, lifting them up even further before finally slurping them off in two sprays of drool.

"Hahahaha, good morning to you both, too!" Tsunade laughed, opening her eyes and looking at her dogs. "You two decided to wake me up, huh?" At the dogs' eager nodding, she laughed again. "And I guess you want me to wake you up in your own special way."

As she sat up in her bed, her dogs laid on the futon on each side of her, the woman chuckling to herself as she gave each Great Dane a scratch behind the ear. While Talbot was content with panting happily and laying on his side of the futon while receiving such affection, his brother wanted to repay their mistress in typical Great Dane fashion, as Great Danes are want to do.

Tiger scooched himself closer, his forelegs planting themselves over Tsunade’s lap before he began giving the woman a gentler, but still slobbery kissing. Naturally, this started off by planting his tongue against the skin of Tsunade’s right cheek and slowly pushing it upward. Tsunade chuckled as her cheek was lifted up, pushing one of her eyes shut. "I hope you two got plenty of sleep, if you're going to spend all day licking me," she said, as Tiger's tongue slurped off of her face. It was immediately replaced by Talbot's tongue planting on her opposite cheek, lifting it up just as much and squashing her opposite eye shut to the bargain.

The two dogs continued like this, repeatedly licking Tsunade's cheeks and lifting them up higher and higher as they tenderized her face.

”Mmff, just remember you two,” Tsunade said as Talbot covered one eye with the skin of her left cheek; “Today’s supposed to be the first day of Naruto’s train-“

Tiger interrupted mid-sentence with a slurp on her right cheek, widening her mouth a bit as it pushed the cheek up.

”Mmff — I can’t have you two waste all that energy of yours on me. Then again though, I suppose I can consider this just a warm up… Just not too much, okay boys?”

Talbot barked happily in agreement before slowly slurping his tongue from the side of Tsunade’s neck. As he slurped it up her face again, over her jaw and once again lifting up her cheek, Tiger changed targets. He slapped his tongue down onto the front of Tsunade's neck and dragged it up her throat to the very tip of her chin, tilting her head back and stretching her chin out before slurping it off in a spray of drool that flew into Tsunade's face. Talbot mimicked him, and once more they began to take turns, repeatedly tilting Tsunade's head back further and further with each slobbery lick.

Eventually, the two dogs found Tsunade's chin sufficiently soaked, and returned to her face. However, with her cheeks thoroughly tenderized, there was only one spot left. Tsunade saw the two dogs looking her over, then realized their intentions as they let their tongues flop out again.

"Wait, you two, don't you d--"

SPLAT!

Before Tsunade could finish, Tiger slapped his entire, gigantic tongue onto her face, smothering her from cheek to cheek before he slowly dragged his tongue up her face, pulling it from her chin to her forehead and, when he got there, stretching it out cartoonishly before slurping it off.

Talbot followed after him, repeating the same lick, and they both took turns as Tsunade grumbled and mumbled beneath their tongues, repeatedly licking her from her chin to her hairline over and over again as she kicked underneath the futon's blanket.

”Mff, s-stop, heel-!”

\*SCHLURP\*

”MMmmmmfffff!”

~~~

Thankfully for Tsunade, her dogs had eventually finished with their ‘warm up’ for the morning. Though thanks to them, Tsunade had to get herself bathed and such before she could even think of getting out the door. Still, she had to admit, they at least looked like they were still ready to slurp a certain loud mouthed kid for his training. So on that front, they kept their word.

Which was why she was fighting the urge to grin impishly as she stood in the middle of a training ground, her arms crossed as she watched Naruto Uzumaki walk towards her.

”Good, you made it on time kid! And here I was thinking you might’ve gained a phobia of Great Danes.” Tsunade teased the orange wearing pipsqueak of a genin.

“Yeah right! I know for a fact that whatever you’ve got in mind, I’ll succeed without those dumb ole dogs getting one lick on me!” Naruto said, puffing his chest out.

Tsunade couldn’t help but mentally cackle at the boy’s obvious obvious attempt at bravado.

”Well, don’t be TOO sure of yourself…” Tsunade said with a small grin; “Anyway, for this session… We’ll be working on your ability to evade capture. Naturally, my boys will be playing the role of an enemy ninja’s nukenin that they’ve sent after you. Your goal is to make it to the other side of the woods without being caught. And no clones Naruto, I’ve got my slug summons assigned to the session as surveillance. They‘ll let me know the instant you even think of trying to cheat…”

Seeing Naruto’s look of disbelief at the fact she was already two steps ahead of him made the woman chuckle, before recomposing herself.

“Anyway, seeing as it’ll take a while for you to get to the other side, you’ll be given a headstart so I suggest you start hauling your orange wearing butt right about —” Tsunade gave Naruto a more impish grin; “Now…”

A nervous look formed on Naruto’s face as he IMMEDIATELY ran like the hounds were after him, which they eventually would be.

"Ugh! Yurk! L-Lady TsunYurk! Tsunade!" Shizune whined from nearby. Tsunade turned to look at her aide, who was holding both dogs by their leashes. Tiger and Talbot were happy with this arrangement, especially since they both kept the younger woman in place, each one with a front paw planted on one of her shoulders. And of course, this meant she couldn’t escape a good slobbering as their giant tongues took turns slurping her from chin to forehead, leaving her head to bounce around. "C-Can I EEP! L-Let them go yURK! yet?"

"In a little while, Shizune," Tsunade replied, chuckling as she watched Shizune's face get molded and squashed like clay. "Naruto has to have a head start after all."

"Mff- Talbot, stop, heel!" Shizune groaned as Talbot's giant tongue lifted her right cheek up, pushing her eye shut.

~~~

In the meantime, Naruto was leaping through the trees in the forest. He'd spotted a number of Tsunade's summons on the trees, so she definitely hadn't been lying when she said they'd be watching him. However, that didn't stop him from moving as fast as he could. Given what happened to him when he first met Tsunade’s pets, he didn’t feel like getting thoroughly drenched in dog slobber.

Still, at the very least, the blonde was given the headstart he’d need to think of a way to get to the other side before he got caught. Plus, as fast as Great Danes were, he knew those couldn’t quite hold a candle to Gai and Lee when it came to pure speed. Though he knew he couldn’t dawdle too long, lest they were given a chance to catch up.

Even better? Much like all dogs, Tiger and Talbot were incapable of climbing, even with their size and strength.

Though it didn’t stop his eyes from bugging out when the heard the sound of the Great Danes howling from a distance. No doubt they were waiting at the starting point from back where Tsunade was, ever eager to be unleashed and sent after him.Despite being relatively out of reach from them up in the trees, he found himself instinctively picking up the pace.

It was just unfortunate that with how vast the woods were, he wasn’t sure if he could even find a shortcut to the other side.

"Where do I even *go* from here?" he muttered to himself. He perked up suddenly as he heard a loud chorus of barking from far behind him. Tsunade had obviously decided to let Tiger and Talbot start their hunt. "Oh boy, if I don't get out of here I'm gonna get slobbered again!"

He took off again, jumping from branch to branch as fast as he could. So fast, in fact, that he jumped towards one particular tree without looking at its branches first. The branch he landed on, old and damaged, snapped under his sandal.

"WHAH!" Naruto flailed his arms, trying desperately to grab another branch as he fell, only to slam down into a thankfully thick clump of bushes, his head poking out of with a dizzy look on his face.

He shook his head to regather his thoughts as he heard the barking in the distance again, forcing him to crawl out and scramble away. Because he was in the trees at the start, the dogs would have a harder time tracking him. However, he knew he couldn’t stay in one spot for long, lest his scent eventually be picked up by Tsunade’s Great Danes.

~~~

In the meantime, the aforementioned Great Danes were currently walking through the woods, each sniffing a big black nose in the hopes of picking up their quarry’s scent, which proved to be surprisingly tricky in these parts. If they had to guess, he likely took to the trees to throw off the trail. Well, no matter, sooner or later he’d come down. Though even then, he could be hiding anywhere, and they didn’t know these woods the same way their mistress did.

That’s when Talbot hit upon an idea that popped into his head, which he relayed to Tiger. Roughly translated from canine to human, Talbot had come with a plan:

Each of them would split up and see if they could cover more ground. In this way, one of them was bound to at least happen upon the boy by chance. One of them could either catch Naruto and bring him to the other dog, or perhaps even corral him to the other dog as a way of cornering him.

Either way, it was as good an idea as any for them to utilize.

~~~

Naruto, in the meantime, had already done his best to put as much distance between himself and his pursuers, even leaving his jacket in one of the bushes in some hope that it keep the dogs from tracking him. Though for how long, he didn’t know.

However, what he didn’t know was that Talbot had picked up on Naruto's trail, and had his nose down to the ground as he took in big whiffs of the young ninja's scent. Trotting through the bushes, Talbot stopped as he saw Naruto's jacket resting on some bushes. He took in a big whiff of Naruto's scent, then took off in the direction the scent had taken off in, his giant pink tongue hanging out as he ran after Naruto, letting out a loud howl as he did so, almost as his way of saying “nice try”.

~~~

It didn’t take long until the howl had eventually reached Naruto’s ears, letting him know that one of Tsunade’s humongous hounds was now in his tail and wasn’t at all fooled by his attempt to throw them off with his jacket. Naruto wracked his brain to think of something until he decided that his best bet of escaping a slobbering was if he could find a high place where he could climb up get back to the tree tops again. After all, big and strong as they were, even for their breed, both of Tsunade’s pets were still Great Danes at the end of the day. And like with most canines, Great Danes simply aren’t designed for climbing.

However, before he could ponder some more, Naruto’s heart beat faster when he heard the sound of barking that was growing more audible in the distance with each passing millisecond. Not wanting to be caught out in the open, the blonde boy immediately took cover behind some flower covered thickets.

It wasn’t long until he peeked out from the thickets, now spotting saw a towering figure that was walking on all four of his lanky legs, brown in color, and with a red color around his muscular neck.

He knew immediately that it was Talbot, no doubt about It. He didn’t see Tiger in sight, correctly guessing that they likely split up to find him. Thankfully it was at least just ONE dog he had to deal with this time…

Though he still had the predicament of figuring out how he was to get past the Great Dane. If he made the slightest move, Talbot would be on him in an instant. Crossing his legs and folding his arms, Naruto scrunched his eyes shut in thought.

Naruto was in such deep thought that he didn't hear anything, that is until the sound of panting broke the silence. Slowly opening his eyes in dread, Naruto came face to face with Talbot's head poking through an opening in the thicket with the great dane’s tongue hanging out, the thing so shiny with slobber that he could see himself in it. Not wasting a second longer, Talbot swung his head back and then slapped his tongue against Naruto's cheek, lifting it upward and making Naruto scrunch his eyes shut again in disgust at the wet slurp.

”Urrghhhh!”

Naruto moaned from not only how gross it felt, but the sheer force that Talbot was putting into the lick. So much so in fact, that the instant the tongue flicked off his cheek? The boy was immediately sent rolling backwards into a ditch, landing on his butt.

Just as he got up, using one hand to dust his pants off while using the other hand to wipe the slobber off his cheek? The boy snapped out of his daze when he heard Talbot’s bark, immediately attempting to get himself out of the ditch and make a break for it. Talbot, however, let out a howl before leaping over the bushes and into the ditch with him. "Whoof!" went Naruto as Talbot tackled him down to the ground, pinning him against the side of the ditch with his gigantic tongue once again hanging in his face.

"Wait dMMMMMMPH!" Naruto said, being interrupted as Talbot's gigantic tongue plastered itself across his entire face. It even pressed all the way to Naruto’s ears, given how wide a Great Dane’s tongue can be, especially one the size of Talbot and his brother.

Talbot decided to rub it in (or rather, “lick it in”) in a cheeky manner, as he proceeded to push his huge tongue upwards in a slow, deliberate manner, making sure that he took his time and forcibly pushed both of the boy’s cheeks and his nose upward. Naruto's face was smushed by the tongue's progress, smoothing out again as Talbot's tongue dragged upward. It eventually reached his forehead, stretching it out cartoonishly before finally slurping off in a spray of drool. "T-Talbot!" Naruto gasped as it slid off his face. "*Down* boy! Down!"

Talbot didn't pay this any mind, however, and instead went all-in on Naruto. His giant tongue swung down again and again, smacking Naruto's cheeks around and lifting them up with each slobbery slurp as he attempted to push the dog off of him. "D-Down! Down boy! Stop! No licking!" Naruto pleaded as Talbot's tongue pasted itself against his cheek and dragged it upward, stretching it out hugely.

The sound of more loud barking echoed from a distance, reaching the unfortunate Blonde’s ears even while he was ‘preoccupied with the full face lick he was being given.

"Oh noooo, not Tiger too!" Naruto groaned as Talbot's tongue slid off of his forehead.

Talbot turned his head to the sound of where Tiger’s bark came from, using his own bark to let his brother know that he found their quarry/playmate. After that, he turned to face the blonde boy while he was wiping his face off with his t-shirt. The Great Dane got the boy’s attention with a woof and a-

\*SPLAT\*

Both of Naruto’s eyes shut themselves tight as the blonde felt a huge tongue loudly plant itself on his right cheek.

"Tihihihihihiger! C'mohohohohohon!" he laughed as Tiger's massive tongue dragged itself up his cheek, squashing it out and lifting it up while leaving a thick trail of drool in his wake. "C'mon, guys, you're soakin' meeheeheeheeheeheehee!"

The dogs did nothing of the sort, however, and instead Talbot kept Naruto pinned to the wall of the ditch. Both dogs went to town on him , Naruto kicking and flailing helplessly as each dog had a chance to splat their giant tongues against his face over and over again, squashing and stretching it like taffy.

Of course, it wasn’t until 10 minutes later that they then remembered that they were supposed to take the boy back to their mistress once he was caught. However, that didn’t mean they couldn’t have a bit of fun with their quarry while doing so.

They remembered how they brought Naruto to their mistress’s office on the day they first met their small playmate. So perhaps, in this case, they could ‘take turns’ with one dog carrying the boy while the other one got to keep him nice and slurped. With their silent idea agreed upon, they winked at each other before they immediately enacted their plan.

Naruto yelped as he found himself being scooped off the ground by the back of his shirt, courtesy of Tiger’s jaws clamping down on the scruff of the aforementioned shirt and starting to walk back towards Tsunade without missing a beat. "H-hey!" he said as he struggled in the Great Dane's grip. "Put me down, you dumb do-"

SPLAT! Even as Naruto had complained, Talbot had enacted his part of the plan. His gigantic tongue swept out and splatted against Naruto's cheek, lifting it up and tilting Naruto's head to the side in a spray of drool.

"You don’t have to rub it in!" Naruto groaned as Talbot's tongue swept off of his face.

Talbot didn't listen, and instead continued to slap Naruto's cheek with his tongue, drenching it even more in drool and lifting it up higher and higher with each slurp. Naruto, for his own part, continued to complain even as Talbot's tongue dragged up his cheek.

"And-I-don’t-need-a-bath!" he continued, each word punctuated with a loud SPLAT from Talbot's tongue hitting him in the face.

Talbot gave a chuckle as soon as his tongue slurped off of Naruto’s cheek after the last word the boy said. The kid truly did have the most priceless look on his face, especially while he was dangling from Tiger’s mouth.

While the dogs walked, Tiger then handed Naruto over to his brother, the boy now dangling from the red collared Great Dane’s mouth as Tiger wriggled his brows.

\*SPLAT\*

Naruto groaned as the tongue slowly slid up, dragging his cheeks and nose up at an agonizing pace. His groan was muffled by Tiger's giant tongue covering his whole face, but that didn't stop him from kicking and flailing his limbs before the dog's tongue finally reached his forehead, stretching it out to a cartoonish degree before it finally slurped off. Talbot let out a muffled ruff from around the piece of Naruto's jumpsuit he had in his mouth, and Tiger ruffed back before they continued.

As they walked, Tiger repeatedly slapped his tongue against Naruto's cheek, another chorus of splats accompanying each hit to his face as Tiger gave it a good washing. Naruto gave up protesting, simply hanging in Talbot's grip as his cheek was stretched out over and over again.

The best part, in the great Danes’ opinion?

With how small Naruto was compared to themselves, this just meant that their tongues were able to envelop their playmate’s face all the more, which just made the way his skin rolled from their licking all the more amusing to them.

They just hoped that they’d be able to slurp both the blonde AND their mistress once they brought the boy back to her!

In the meantime however, they’d just keep themselves busy. Such, as, for example, when Tiger decided to see how many inches he could lift one of Naruto’s cheeks with a slow yet BIG lick. Naruto couldn't do anything but frown and bear the lick, even as it lifted his cheek up enormously, so much that Tiger's tongue flattening it made it nearly cover half of his face, the rim of his cheek reaching up past his headband to boot! By the time it slurped off his cheek, it felt like his cheek would sag off his face after the tongue had left it.

”No-“

\*Slap\*

”No-mff! No licking.,.” Naruto barely manage to muttered out, what with Tiger’s tongue enveloping the other half of the face.

The Great Dane, naturally, decided to take this one lick even slower, really build up more firmness. The uncovred half of Naruto’s face naturally cringed, the boy unable to stop Tiger from giving him a slow, yet immense LICK that was lifting the skin of his cheek up with each passing millisecond.

One thing Naruto knew for sure?

Once the dogs brought him to their mistress, Tsunade was more than likely going to be more than a little amused.

~~~

Eventually (mercifully for Naruto), the dogs reached the edge of the woods where Tsunade and Shizune were waiting. True to Naruto's predictions, Tsunade started to chuckle as she looked at him, dripping with slobber and being soaked even more as Tiger continued to lick his face. "Good dogs," she said. "Did you both have fun?"

Talbot dropped Naruto unceremoniously to the ground, both dogs barking affirmatively before they each slapped their giant tongues on each of Naruto's cheeks, squashing them both up as he was sandwiched between them. Much to Tsunade’s amusement, this not only had the effect of causing the boy’s lips to pucker, but the sheer strength was actually lifting the boy off the ground!

”Gotta say, you actually lasted **slightly** longer than I thought you would…” Tsunade said with a chuckle as she watched, her arms crossed over each other. Her grin widened a little as Naruto flopped to the ground as soon as both tongues slurped all the way off of his cheeks, the boy staggered and groggy as he forced himself to his feet; “Of course, you still got caught as to be expected… Either way, it should prove to be good training. Helps my boys seem to like you quite a bit!”

Even Shizune couldn’t help but giggle as she saw Naruto use his sleeves to wipe his whole face off, his nose crinkled from the feeling of the saliva.

”Anyway, I think my dogs deserve to have their fun…” Tsunade said before turning to her dogs; “Alright boys, you did an excellent job! Why don’t you reward yourself with some playtime? I’m sure Naruto will appreciate it… How about you include Shizune as well, don’t want her feeling left out, right?”

Both Great Danes agreed, and each promptly chose the partner they turned their attention to. With Tiger, he decided to go with Shizune, especially since he had already slurped the boy quite a bit. Besides, his brother (who was wriggling his brows at the slowly retreating Naruto) could use a turn with the blonde boy.

"Aw man, not again!" Naruto moaned as Talbot charged at him, his massive pink tongue hanging out behind him like a huge flag. Naruto tried to start running but had only begun to move backwards before Talbot tackled him off his feet with a loud "OOF!" He hit the ground on his back and Talbot's tongue was immediately on him, slapping and sliding all over his face as he kicked and flailed in protest.

"OOF!" went Shizune as well, who had barely registered what Tsunade had said before Tiger tackled her, his enormous tongue covering her whole face before she'd even hit the ground as he wrapped his paws around her in a big hug. As both started to flail and let out muffled squeals and protests, Tsunade only chuckled to herself, and sat down on a rock to watch the show.

\*I could get used to this…\* Tsunade thought to herself as she watched her dogs go to work on their respective playmates, with Shizune receiving full face licks from Tiger and each of Naruto’s cheeks being pushed up one after the after by Talbot.

(**END**)
