As Naruto and his group arrived, several women blinked at the sudden change in lighting. Even Riful had to adjust. While she had been transported with this technique before, the feeling of being in one place and then another in an instant was trippy as balls.

“You’ll get used to it eventually,” Naruto chuckled, knowing full well what his women were feeling at that moment. “Anyway, welcome to the Elemental Nations! Right now we’re on a port island called Wave Country - it’s close enough to my birthplace, but far enough for them to not notice our presence here.”

When he said that, everyone took in their new surroundings and noticed they were in a cemetery. The very same one Naruto teleported to, when he detected Karui, Samui and Omoi entering the place. They let go of him, though Beth took Riful’s, place and the girls looked around.

“A cemetery?” Miria asked. “This is a strange place for us to be.” Then, she noticed a fresh bouquet of roses behind Naruto.

“This is where Hinata’s buried,” Naruto clarified, then he sighed. “Sorry, but this is the only place I have a seal applied that would have allowed us to get here unmolested by any… unwanted attention. The Organization is here, if you all remember - so the less they know about us, the better. Luckily, I know I guy that’ll keep our presence here a secret.”

He looked at Hinata’s gravestone one last time and ran his hand along the top of it. Then he looked at his women, and gestured for them to follow. “Come on. Knowing him, he’ll be by the docks.”

They gladly followed him out of the depressing site. It was then they finally managed to see the different architecture this continent had compared to their own. It was… different. But not in a bad way. A lot of the buildings were familiarly structured to the ones back on their continent, but there was enough differences in style to make them stand out.

They went stiff as a board when they detected a massive yoki presence here. Their inter grained training almost kicked in and they went for the hilts of their claymores. Only to realise Naruto wasn’t alarmed, or was barely registering it. With that they slowly took their hands away from the grips of their swords. Perhaps this massive yoki was... friendly? No shortage of them hoped it was.

Riful wasn’t as alarmed, but scowled as she noted that this aura was too… potent for her comfort. She didn’t like it when someone this strong was close by with unknown intentions.

The women started feeling especially nervous when they realized that Naruto was approaching this entity. Was it the one he was talking about being by the docks?!

Their answer came in due time, as the women all found themselves marvelling at a giant, demonic, one-eyed turtle waiting patiently as Naruto walked up to him.

“Hey, Isobu,” Naruto greeted. “How’s it been? Where’s Tazuna? I thought he would be by the docks by now.”

“Ah, Naruto,” the turtle said with a nod. “It has been too long. You just missed him by several minutes. I would have left had I not felt your chakra and yoki here minutes ago.” he leaned down so his eye was leveled with Naruto’s. “So, how goes things in your new home?”

“Chaotically,” the blond answered with a chuckle. “But, I wouldn’t have it any other way.” He looked to his group and gestured for them to come forth. “These are a few of the very close friends I’ve made since I got there.” Alicia and Beth clung onto their man’s arms, drawing a hearty chuckle from him. “Hell, they’re more than just friends, now, as you can see.”

Riful then approached, catching the Sanbi’s attention immediately. This little girl was… strong. Very strong. If he didn’t know any better Isobu would have thought she was as strong as a kage. It was unsettling. Now that they were close, he could tell Alicia and Beth were stronger than the young girl. Miria, Flora and Veronica were a close contender as well. Cynthia and Eliza are strong too; well, if anything else Naruto had some interesting company.

The loli gave the Sanbi a respectful curtsey. “It’s a pleasure to meet one of these ‘tailed beasts’ Naruto-Sama told me about. I am Riful Uzumaki. The twins are Alicia and Beth Uzumaki. We are here to talk with one of Naruto-Sama’s friends.”

Isobu couldn’t hold in a good-natured laugh as he eyed the blond. “Uzumaki, eh? You are just full of surprises, aren’t you, Naruto?”

“Well, I do have a reputation for being unpredictable,” said blond chuckled.

“Only to those who aren’t trained to expect the unexpected,” an irate, female voice called out from behind the group.

Naruto’s lady friends all jumped, even Riful hadn’t detected Team Samui’s approach. Cynthia eyeballed the ginger in particular, sensing the jealousy coming off her in waves, as did Alicia and Beth.

Karui addressed the group with crossed arms and an irritated huff. “I take it these are the artificial half-demons you were talking about.”

The girls all turned at the new arrivals.

“Some of ‘em,” Naruto answered. “Riful’s the ‘complicated’ one.” he gestured at the loli in question,

Riful raised an eyebrow at that, but shrugged. All things considered, that was a fitting description to give anyone who hadn’t heard of an awakened being.

Karui gave them all a look over; despite the odd looking eyes and unnatural pale blonde or in Miria’s case, brown hair, they do not look all that impressive. “They don’t look like much.” he said scoffingly.

“Looks can be deceiving.” Isobu chided the redhead. He pointed at Riful and at Alicia. “Those two have enough power to take on a kage and win. If I didn’t know any better, I would have thought they were Tailed Beasts in human form. The second twin is just as capable of fighting and defeating a kage as well.” he ignored the shocked looks from Team Samui as he pointed at Miria, Flora and Veronica. “They’re close contenders as well; if I had to guess, they would be able to run circles around your jounins with ease. The last two are weaker, but are by no means helpless. They may be able to fight jounins to a standstill. Even a Kage if they fight smart.” after he finished, the Three-tails chuckled and leaned down. “In other words, do not engage with any of them unless you want to die.”

Naruto added his own cents to the conversation. “They’re able to put me on my toes by working together.” He pulled Alicia and Beth to him and they mewled when the blond gave them both a chaste kiss on the cheek. “That’s how dangerous and skillful they are. And there’s another ‘complicated’ one back at home that even Kurama is wary of; even said she could take on all five Kages and win easily… let that sink in.”

Karui went noticeably pale at that. ‘Note to self: do NOT piss them off.’ she thought.

Cynthia, seeing as they were intimidated could not help but add more fuel to the fire. Mainly out of spite for the redhead. “We can also make ourselves stronger. It’s a bit dangerous, but when the need arises, we can multiply our strength by calling upon our yoki.”

“Flora, this one here,” Naruto gestured to the wavy-haired woman, who waved at them with a dangerous grin, “can draw and sheathe her sword so fast it looks like she barely pulled it out. Miria,” he pointed to said woman next and was looking at them impassively. “can move so fast she leaves behind after images… so, yeah, like Isobu said: don’t pick a fight with them unless you want to die.”

“N-noted…” Karui stammered, then she looked at the hybrids and the Abyssal One. “no hard feelings?”

Riful giggled. Ever the sadistic one, she enjoyed watching the woman squirm. The others shrugged, nodded, or simply didn’t seem to care one way or the other.

With that out of the way, Naruto asked, “So I’m guessing we’re heading to Kumo by ship?”

Samui nodded. “Yes. The quicker we get you there without tipping off this… ‘Organization’, the better. The man in the fedora and his escort are in Konoha by now.”

“Noted,” Naruto replied; then he looked to Isobu. “Are you going to follow? If you can’t, can you make sure no one here knows I arrived. I want to keep Konoha in the dark as much as possible.”

The Three-tails shrugged. “I won’t be able to follow much; I can make sure no one attacks, but when you get to the mainland, I’ll have to stop following you from there. I’m not going to cause damage to the environment by dragging my shell along the earth.” he answered, then his single eye looked towards the sky. “You’ll likely see Chomei there however; there is little that can keep that energetic beetle away. Matatabi and Gyuki are a certainty, as well.” then he looked back down to Naruto. “But I can pass on the message to him before following after you.”

“Alright,” Naruto said with a grin. “I hope the locals have been treating you well.”

Isobu chuckled. “It’s certainly a lot better than being imprisoned, that’s for damn sure. If there’s one thing I disliked, it is how Hashirama took away our freedom and peddled us off to the other Hidden Villages like bargaining chips. The man was well intentioned, but… flawed, in his thinking. I’m just glad there’s not going to be any more jinchuurikis any time soon.”

Naruto put his hand on the turtle’s lower jaw. “Yeah. Yeah. Bee and I are the last ones. It’s about time, that the power of human sacrifice was put aside.” he pat the turtle and gave him a fond smile, an expression the tailed beast returned. “I hope you enjoy your well earned freedom.”

“And I hope you live a long, happy life with your mates,” the turtle replied with a chuckle.

The blond backed away with a smile, turning back to Team Samui and his lovers. “Alright, lead the way.”

Samui nodded and she and her team led the group of nine to their ship. When Naruto’s girls saw it, they were in complete and utter awe. It was unlike anything they had ever seen in their lives. The ship was made of metal, and had two giant tubes in the back, flanking a large, wooden wheel. On the sides, several smaller, thick, black ‘tubes’ jutted outwards from little square holes, making the women wonder what they could be for.

“Say hello to the KV Raijin,” Karui said with no small amount of pride. “The fastest ship in the sea for the past twenty years. She’ll get us to Kaminari in less than a day.”

“Steam powered or lightning chakra powered?” Naruto asked as he took its appearance in.

“Both,” Samui said. “She’s a hybrid.”

Naruto let out a low whistle. “Damn. That must’ve cost you all a pretty Ryo.” he said as they got on board the ship through the gangplank.

“Kumo’s military budget’s consistently been the highest among the Big Five for some time,” Karui pointed out. “That’s why we have such a powerful military, despite our smaller population.”

“I think you should know by now, it is not quantity but quality that wins a war.” Naruto told the redhead. “The last three world wars Konoha’s been in had left them victorious. Uzugakure, while they were almost wiped out by Kiri, Iwa and Kumo, they did a hell of a job at kicking the asses of the combined invasion force.”

“Tell me something I don’t know,” Karui scoffed. “Kumo’s living proof of your point; we have half the population of the rest of the Big Five, and yet we’re able to fight on equal ground. Konoha may have been victorious in those wars, but that’s only because we were overwhelmed.”

“Or you were cocky.” Naruto pointed out. “Your people did try to kidnap my mother after all.”

“Our Sandaime was in idiot,” Karui muttered with a shrug. “Hell of a field captain, but a piss poor Kage.”

“Like when you tried to kidnap Hinata?” he added almost innocently.

“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,” Karui sighed. “But at least the Yondaime learned his lesson.”

“Yes. By wanting the head of the Hyuuga clan on a silver platter.”

“I meant after the whole fiasco,” Karui grumbled. “You clearly didn’t hear about the riots. Our people didn’t want another war so soon after losing one third of our forces in the previous one. That’s why he backed off.”

“Too little too late if you ask me. The head lost his brother, and that almost cost Hinata her life years later.” he said, then he sighed. “But at least things are looking better now.”

“Never pegged you as the vengeful type,” Karui said, raising an eyebrow. “You have no idea how much I wish I could erase all that; hell, I once even wanted to become the Raikage, myself, just to fix those mistakes if I could, but your efforts seem to have made that unnecessary.”

“You save the world, and everyone thinks you’re a hero.” he sighed, looking twice his age. “Instead it’s everyone else who’s the hero. I wouldn’t have gotten that far if it wasn’t for Bee, or everyone else. If Bee didn’t help me… well… let’s not dwell on that.”

“Yeah…” Karui sighed, drifting into an awkward silence.

“...You’re a hero?” Miria asked her husband with a questioning look. It was an expression that the other silver eyed woman, plus Riful shared as they looked at their man.

Karui scoffed, hiking a thumb to Naruto. “Whiskers, here, ended the Fourth Great War almost single handedly. And if what was said by the current Sixth Hokage is to be believed, took on a woman who can be considered a goddess. He had help, mind you, but only three or four people - far from what I’d need to get the job done, I’ll tell you that.”

“There was five actually, the masked man changed sides at the end. Turns out there was still good in him. He died saving me, Sasuke and Kakashi from a technique that guarantees a kill.” and not being able to save Obito was something he regrets. Turns out even his healing can only go so far, and regenerating someone who was disintegrating from the inside was beyond even his capabilities.

“Still impressive as all hell,” Karui pointed out. “In either case, we couldn’t have won without your help.” She waved them along. “C’mon, your cabin’s this way. You’ve brought more guests than we’d expected, but that shouldn’t be an issue.”

“We can share beds if it comes down to it,” Flora said with a naughty giggle.

While she did one hell of a job hiding it, the women present could still feel Karui’s jealousy coming off in waves. “Indeed,” the redhead muttered. “So… how long do you intend to stay?”

“Depends on how long this meeting goes.” Naruto answered with a shrug. “A day, a week, who knows?”

Karui perked up at that, hoping it was closer to the latter.

Riful giggled, able spot a thirsty girl a mile away. She couldn’t help but want to make this chick jump her man, if only to spread his influence. The wheels in her head started to turn immediately; evil schemes of taking over the world by having Naruto fuck all the right women and putting them in positions of power teased and tickled the Abyssal loli’s imagination. But, those were thoughts for later…

“Besides, I’m going to be on this ship for an entire day as well. Might as well make the most of it.”

‘Make the most of it, indeed,’ Karui thought, eyeballing the other women subtly, wondering if she could ‘make the most’ of his time here, herself. Riful noticed and gave her a grin, prompting the redhead to swiftly look away.

“This is where you’ll be staying.” Omoi told the blond, once he, Samui and Karui all stopped beside a door. The former opened it and allowed the soon to be occupants to take a peek inside. “Everything in there has already been paid for. So, you don’t have to worry about bills or the like. Unless you go over the limit.”

“You have a safety net of about 1,000 ryo, so that shouldn’t be an issue,” Samui added.

“I have no idea how much ryo costs, but, it should not be an issue.” Miria stated, “As half-demons, we need only a small amount of food and water every several days.”

“The room’s pretty big,” Naruto noted and he noticed just how many beds there were, how big they are. “How many queen sized beds are in this room?”

“Five,” Karui said. “You can fit about five more if you were to expand the room.”

It was a no brainer on how they can achieve that, but Naruto wanted to guess anyway. “Let me guess: seals?”

Karui gave him a haughty grin. “We spared no expense on this ship. You never know when a client with a fat purse might need to hop on.”

At that Naruto let out a chortle, “And in this case I’m that client with a ‘fat purse’?”

“‘Client’ implies that you’re the one paying,” Karui chuckled back. “Your expenses are on us.”

“Well, okay, then. I’m not going to argue.” he said; he may not have the money on him now, but he is capable of paying everyone’s expenses. Jiraiya had left everything to him. That includes his… smut business… and brothels… and movie company. Damn old pervert; he had an empire that would put several Daimyo to shame!

Speaking of the movie company, Naruto couldn’t help but smile at the memory of little Mito’s conception. Koyuki nearly had a heart attack upon realizing that Naruto had knocked her up while filming Icha Icha: Conquest… among others, as the title would imply. Contraceptives be damned, no less; the blond was potent as fuck.

Still the Daimyo kept him as the father of her child a secret, lest some dumb fucker in Konoha tries to kidnap her. Root may have been disbanded, but that didn’t mean the village’s fair share of warmongers and idiots had just evaporated. That would be wishful thinking on his part.

Nor has he been in contact with anyone inside of Konoha itself. Konohamaru is a viable choice as a contact, being his former student an’ all. Moegi also had an adorable crush on her former sensei, so she’d be willing to do anything for him. There are also still a lot of other people he considers to be friends, Shikamaru, Choji, Shino, Ino and Sai to name a few. But he didn’t want to put any of them at risk.

Heading straight into the room and flicking on the light, Naruto couldn’t help but chuckle at his girls’ reactions to the little contraption. Now that he thought about it, they’d have a lot of technology to get used to - not the least of which being the use of a toilet, rather than a chamber pot.

He gestured his girls to enter, and they did so warily, as a few of them looked up at the light bulb with squinted eyes. “This continent is pretty advanced,” Naruto said. “Kumo, especially, though the other countries are catching up to them pretty quickly.”

“...how advanced are we talking about here?” Riful asked, thoroughly intrigued as she tore her eyes away from the light bulb. She rubbed at her eyes in irritation, the sudden change of brightness had taken her off guard.

Naruto chuckled. “What you’re looking at is called a light bulb. It’s a much, much better version of a lantern. It can last for years and doesn’t need a regular oil change. We also have an advanced chamber pot. We call them toilets. It can clean out feces by itself. We can also store food in a little box called a refrigerator, which keeps it cool and makes it last for months. Those are just the basic conveniences.”

Several of the girls just… stared; they just had to see that shit to believe it. Alicia and Beth were the exceptions as they had called dibs on one of the beds. The damn thing was so comfy, they fell asleep on the spot.

Naruto was amused as he looked at the slumbering twins. “We also have a shower. Think of it as a more efficient way to wash up. It can heat up water so it can go from cold, to warm, to hot.” Spotting where the bathroom was in an instant, Naruto gestured for the remaining women to follow and said, “c’mon, I’ll show you.”

Meanwhile Karui took a several mental notes as this conversation took place. Clearly, this continent was pretty far behind as far as technology was concerned. She frowned, wondering how well Naruto had fared in that land.

“Many people people can fit in that thing?” Miria’s voice cried out from the bathroom. “There’s no way that can be sanitary!”

“Normally one,” Naruto calmly answered, “but it looks like you can fit in two or three people in here. And as for sanitation? The water washes up everything. I wonder what type of shampoo is in here?”

“...Shampoo? What the heck’s a shampoo?” Miria asked; there was an awkward pause, before the woman said in a tone of utter disgust. “Why would anyone want to name anything after feces?!”

“...N-no, that’s not what it is Miria. Just… just no. I have no idea why it’s called that, but it has nothing to do with human or animal waste. It’s… basically a fancy word for soap, specifically for washing hair.”

“Washing hair…” Flora said, “how does it work? Can you show us?”

There was a moment of silence. “...maybe later, when we’re alone.”

That poor man… Karui sighed. Perhaps she can go back with him? It certainly seemed like he could use the help. She looked to Samui and said, “looks like he’s going to need some help. You mind telling the captain we’re ready to depart?”

----

Dae paced about his laboratory. He eyeballed a corpse with wild, chin-length, wavy hair. She was fairly bulky-looking, though still lean. Damn girl had a straight up six pack and wore an eyepatch over her right eye - apparently, she’d lost it as a kid, before getting picked up by the organization. Neideen the Naughty, she’d been named. Despite being a single-digit of her skill level, and having unparalleled yoki sensory until Teresa of the Faint Smile popped up, this chick was somehow more well known for her raunchy sense of humor than anything.

Granted, Teresa was only known for her smile, but that was beside the point. The former Number 1 was the strongest warrior in their arsenal for a reason. If they manage to get her back then their chances of killing that meddlesome brat would increase drastically.

The madman had felt exhuming Neideen would be a wise idea, just in case he was unable to do that, though, seeing as how most of the former Number 1’s remains had been used to convert that Clare brat.

Still, he had to praise his genius as he took in Neideen’s physique. When he brought her corpse up, she had been decayed to the point she was unrecognisable. Those parasites he harvested may be infectious, but he spliced out the one thing that allowed him to achieve this monumental task: a regeneration fluid. It had taken many test subjects, many splicing of awakened beings that were once normal human children; but he had managed to find a way to regenerate a badly decomposed body to physical peak in 24 hours. If it’s to regrow an entire body, then it would take around two to three days.

All he had to do was inject this fluid into the body of his choice and let it do the rest of the work. As long as he had something to work with, like a head, then it’ll work.

He moved on, ogling his collection of former Number Ones. The first was Heavy-Bladed Chloe. Much like Neideen this chick was pretty buff, even having a six pack of her own. Her hair was done up in a pair of dodango with straight bangs. The length was left to hang free, reaching down past her shoulders. Much like Muscular Sophia, this chick was strong as all hell. Despite her name, though, she didn’t even need her sword to be a threat. Damn girl once killed three awakened beings with a single punch, according to the reports - former single-digits, no less! Even by Dae’s standards, it was nothing short of insane. But, no matter how many times he’d tried to replicate that shit, the closest he’d ever gotten was Sophia.

Ultimately, Chloe’s temper had been her downfall. Restoring her corpse had been a complete bitch, after she was literally eaten by Luciela of the South, but he managed.

It was… annoying. And, at times, utterly frustrating. Nevertheless, his attempts to replicate Chloe’s strength in the newer generations had given him a challenge. Sometimes, they were a near success. At others - which is 90% at the time - it was a failure. His greatest failure however had come from that brown haired brat… what was her name? Clarica? Clarisse? She was a failure, and is barely considered a hybrid. She would normally be ‘taken care of’ behind the scenes due to that, but they were sorely lacking on manpower. And with the yoma running rampant in various regions except the West, they needed every asset they could get.

Once they get enough trainees ready for promotion, that girl will most likely be sent on a suicide mission she will have no chance of getting out of. Unless they find a use for her that will most likely be her fate.

Moving on to the next, he found himself looking at the mangled corpse of a short-haired woman with pointed ears. Her name was Dust Eater Cassandra. After having gone insane and trying to kill the Number 2 of her generation, she had sustained individual lacerations from her peers, before being killed by Roxanne of Love and Hate. Said woman would go on to be the Number 1 for a short time, but was executed in less than half a year for being a... problem.

This chick was still a work in progress. Of the strongest warriors, she had been least injured, in terms of the physical body but was also the second weakest one in comparison to Teresa; however, she was less stable, emotionally, and thus less of a priority to him. But, seeing as how his whole collection was being called upon, she would be the next one restored to her prime.

Roxanne was next to her. Seeing as how the woman in question was executed by way of swift decapitation, restoring her was child’s play to the man. Despite being the menace she was, one could not deny that she was also nothing short of a prodigy. Never before or since had a low-tier warrior shot up through the ranks so quickly like she had.

Granted, her method of doing so had a lot of ‘smiles and backstabbing’ kind of bullshit along the way, but it was nothing if not effective.

That one aside, he found himself eyeballing a woman with long, wavy locks and a scar over her blind eye. Much like Neideen she’s sustained this injury to her right eye before being picked up by the Organization. This woman was Sistina, the Divine Oracle - a woman said to have had a literal sixth sense and was one of their previous ‘Eyes’, as well as one of the previous Number 1s. She was always talking to herself, claiming to have been talking to the gods… and then she screamed her bloody head off one night and leapt off a cliff. If the plummet to the jagged rocks below wasn’t enough, she was half-eaten by several sharks. Apparently, they didn’t like her very much, which was fortunate - there wouldn’t have been any remains, otherwise - but damn… what was left was barely enough to be called remains!

Dae sighed, hoping she didn’t go bat shit crazy on them a second time… or at least waited to do so until after the job was done. Hell, if he had a say in it, she would stay dead, but this was Rimuto’s call, not his.

Next in line was Luticia the Universal. Said woman was a willowy beauty with natural blonde, curly locks and pointed ears. She was as scary as she was beautiful that one was, really. While a wise man once said, “jack of all trades, master of none,” this chick scoffed at that, and tore the old saying asunder, as she was a master of all: yoki sensory, insane strength, insane speed, full mastery of swordsmanship and hand-to-hand, all on a defensive type! She had the potential to do anything, but it was her overconfidence that had been her downfall in the end. She had been brutally massacred by Isley, thinking she could take him. She was wrong. Very wrong.

The Abyssal One of the North had, at the time, two centuries worth of experience more than her, and he used that to his full advantage.

After her head was personally delivered to their doorstep by the White Silver King, the Organization panicked. They apologized profusely and did everything in their power to appease him, lest they risk being butchered by him a second time. It took some convincing, several whores - whom he later ate - and half their funding to bribe him out of it, but they thankfully managed.

Reviving Luticia’s body from just a severed head was a real bitch and a half, but Dae was nothing if not persistent. That regeneration substance he spliced together really came in handy when it came to regrowing her entire body and returned her to her full physical pique. Though it took a lot longer than he wanted; compared to Neideen it took Luticia two whole days; but it was an educational experience if he said so himself.

Next to her was Three-Armed Licht. Despite her name, she only had two. The woman was lean but toned, with her hair in a little pixie cut. While she was Number 1 and one hell of a swordswoman, where she shined was hand-to-hand. She was known as Three-Armed Licht, because she had a habit of popping a yoma’s head clean off with a punch or savage backhand, while holding her sword in both hands, before anyone even saw either hand leave the hilt, leading to many common folk and even other warriors claiming she literally had a third arm. She was that quick.

Her death came at the hands of Rigardo when her hunting party had the misfortune of being unknowingly sent to kill him. They failed… spectacularly. Licht herself was literally chipped to bits; several parts of the poor thing resembled ground beef, no less! Seeing such a thoroughly butchered corpse was one of the very few times Dae had found himself feeling legitimately nauseous. Unfortunately, no one knows to this day if Rigardo was by himself when Licht’s hunting party was massacred. Since the woman was stronger than the abyssals, though, the chances Rigardo being alone were slim.

Dae moved on to a short-haired warrior with a round face and a strong build. Her name was Rosemary the Red - a nickname she’d acquired after killing Hysteria the Elegant in the Rockwell Hill Massacre. Apparently, she didn’t take it well after she was demoted to Number 2, after Teresa of the Faint Smile took her former rank as Number 1 out from under her. When she sent her Black Card to Teresa, it appeared that she had already awakened, and sought to lure the ‘usurper’ to her death.

Somehow, Teresa had managed to kill her single handedly, thereby preventing a fourth Abyssal One from popping up and fucking with everyone else’s day by throwing the already delicate balance of the Abyssal Ones out of whack. No one questioned her rank after that.

Then, there was the last of Dae’s Number 1 collection: Hysteria the Elegant. The one woman who almost slaughtered the Organization’s whole arsenal of warriors single handedly. Only two survived: Rosemary and Teresa. This incident would forever live in infamy as the Rockwell Hill Massacre. The woman was and still is, the fastest warrior the Organization ever had in their ranks. Phantom Miria was the only one that came close to her speed.

She was once a woman of great beauty, her long, straight hair was pulled into a partial ponytail, with four braids - two in the front, forming her bangs, and the other two incorporated into the ponytail itself. She was… incredibly vain, and craved attention more than anything; the woman would burst into anger when she felt ignored or overlooked. She was also arrogant, and held herself in very high esteem, is easily impatent and offended; all of which was what led to her downfall. When she refused to hand out her black card to any of the warriors and went to Rockwell Hill, the Organization had no choice but to send everyone to put her down.

However, from what the two survivors of that massacre informed them, Hysteria was genuinely shocked that her fellow warriors had turned their blades on her. Dae had to scoff; she was on the verge of awakening, what did she think would happen?

But she would be a problem… perhaps he could convince her that Naruto’s lover Miria claimed to have a superior technique to hers? Given how highly she holds herself, that can work.

Looking away from his Number 1 collection, the scarred man moved to another slab. This one was still a work in progress, as most of her remains were used to convert Clare in an attempt to recreate her legendary yoki sensory, so he needed to regenerate her from just a head, like he had with Luticia. Teresa of the Faint Smile… she would make a wonderful… re-addition to his ‘personal’ collection. He always wondered how she’d look in a maid’s outfit.

He sighed in frustration, looking at an empty slab. That retrieval party was taking their sweet-ass time, weren’t they?

According to his sources, one of the Ladykiller’s lovers had apparently fallen in Pieta. Even if that didn’t pan out though, another girl was of higher priority, if Rimuto expected Roxanne and Cassandra to be revived and work together - the best friend of the latter, a deceased Number 35. What was her name, again? Miranda, that’s it! While he didn’t care for her name, he believed it to be best to get on Cassandra’s good side. So reviving her alongside the Number 1 to act as a buffer between her and Roxanne was a good idea. Not to mention he did not want to be on the receiving end of her dust eater, because he thought her friend was not worth remembering.

The deceased Number 35 looked eerily similar to Cynthia, the former Number 14. If he didn’t know any better he would have thought they were long lost sisters. The resemblance between the two was uncanny. Perhaps they were distant relatives? When he’d asked out of sheer, dumb curiosity, it was confirmed that they had the same hometown, so that was a possibility.

Due to the age difference between the two of them however - Cynthia wasn’t even born when Cassandra was around - they had to be 4th or 5th cousins. Bah, that wasn’t important.

Moving on to his personal collection, he looked over a woman with a wild, spiky razor-shag cut - like Phantom Miria’s, only shorter - and, sharp features, and no eyebrows. In life, she had been quite the tomboy - something Dae took great pleasure in. She was also quite the clever woman, making use of her sword’s quillons and pommel in her fighting style to compensate for her lack of speed and strength. Other warriors at the time saw it as unsightly and desperate, many calling it the Blade of Evil. Dae, himself found it to be quite clever, though, and had always wondered if that cleverness would translate to the bedroom, hence the fact that she was part of his ‘personal’ collection.

Her name was Uranus if his memory is right. She’s from the same generation of Cassandra, Roxanne, Neideen and Miranda.

He moved on to the next girl in his personal collection, a past Number 5 from Cassandra’s generation called Elizabeth; a young woman with straight hair tied back in a ponytail; her bangs were short with chin length locks framing the sides of her face. Rimuto insisted that she might be able to take on the higher tier defectors, though Dae begged to differ. Hell, the only reason he’d snatched her up for his collection was because she had a reputation as a legendary cook. Granted, she was a single-digit, but there was no way she’d stand a chance against so many others. At best she’d take a few down with her.

Against the lower-tiers she would be more effective. Her so called ‘beautiful’ sword technique would be useful against them. He had no idea what said technique entailed, but reports from when she was active said it completely captivated everyone. Including the awakened beings. Perhaps some manner of hypnosis?

Oh well, he could revive her, later, if need be.

Her out of the way, he turned to yet another lovely tomboy, Stormwind Noel. Next to her was Muscular/Destructive Sophia, whom he’d recently exhumed, but he wasn’t as much of a fan of her.

No, Noel was far more pleasing to his half-deformed eye: cropped pixie cut, nice and shapely, adorable face… Dae chuckled, cupping the still-dead woman’s cheek. She was very pleasing, indeed - his favorite, by far. Once this group was done with their task, one way or another, he was going to have fun with her. But that was to be reserved for later.

Sophia beside her had chin-length, loose and wavy hair that was parted in the middle, similar to Teresa’s only much, much shorter, and a shapely face, much like Noel. While she was haughty, elegant and very polite, there was a naughty side to her since she often had a sultry smile on her face.

Out of every deceased women here, she, Sophia and one other woman were the most preserved, as they were the most recently dead among them.

It most certainly helped, that the regeneration fluid he cooked up would not have much to regenerate. Both blondes were killed by Priscilla, both were pierced through the shoulders, or chest by tentacles of some sort, killing them instantly. Hilda had become an awakened being, when she had died, and had her head and arm severed by her own friend Miria - who almost awakened herself at the realization.

Speaking of that one other woman, Huntmaster Hilda lay on another slab, nearby. She had quite the reputation in life for being highly adept at hunting awakened beings. Dae always thought she’d look cute as a maid, so when she was killed off, he’d snatched her up for his ‘personal’ collection. Her inclusion made the most sense out of all the girls in said collection, because she and Naruto’s lover, Miria - the likely brains of his operation - was very close friends with her.

Reverting her and Rosemary back to being a hybrid will prove to be the most challenging task he will undertake. It was a challenge he welcomed.

Even if that deceased lover of Naruto’s didn’t arrive for whatever reason, he had a job to do, so he decided to try and revive Miranda first. She was the weakest here and would require less yoki, but with her being so decomposed and mutilated would make it quite the challenge. Best to get her out of the way, first.

He went to grab a vial of that fluid and got to work. Once she’s stable, he’ll keep her in a coma. He can’t have her potentially waking up and causing all sorts of chaos now can he?

Riful giggled happily, bare-ass naked and sprawled upon the bed now in the form of her late teens. Never in her life had she felt so clean! She smelled so good, now, even despite the little romp she’d gotten, just now! Then again, that’s what she got for trying to seduce him into taking a shower with her using her teenage form.

Still, it was so tempting to just stay here on this new continent if it meant being able to feel like this all the time.

She looked to her left and giggled at a now-resting Naruto, Eliza cheerfully snuggling up to him. The abyssal ‘teen’ sighed happily, clenching her thighs to keep his most recent deposit inside her. Damn, she hoped Naruto just gave her a new kid! Little Harja could use herself a playmate… or twelve. She grinned naughtily. That sounded like a wonderful idea.

She looked to the bathroom and was bemused, and amused, to see a small line up at the door. As well as the running shower. Cynthia and Flora were in line, patiently waiting for Miria to finish washing her hair, though the former Number 6 was taking her sweet ass time about it. She couldn’t blame the woman though, the feel of hot water washing over one’s body was soothing as fuck.

Meanwhile Alicia and Beth were still happily snoozing away. Again, Riful couldn’t blame them. These mattresses were just so damn comfortable! Nothing short of a fucking crisis could pry her out of the one she currently occupied. How’d they get a mattress this comfortable? And can they take one - or several - back with them to her - Naruto’s - castle?

In the bathroom, Miria groaned in relief as the hot water ran down her nubile body. The shampoo had done its job in washing away the dirt and grime that had built up in her hair. There was a tingling sensation on her scalp as well - Naruto explained it’s the shampoo getting rid of the dirt that's ingrained itself into the roots of their hair. Given how itchy it felt, she must have had a lot of dirt in the roots of her hair.

Either that or she did a piss poor job at cleaning her hair. To be fair though, she had a lot more important shit than self hygiene to worry about. But now, she can just… take a much needed break. She really needed it and this little trip to Kuma? Kumu? Whatever the fuck it’s called, is a perfect excuse to relax.

Once she was sure the shampoo was thoroughly out of her hair the woman turned the shower off and wiped the water from her eyes. Then she got herself a towel, picked up her clothes and started rubbing her hair as she walked out of the bathroom butt ass naked.

She paused and looked to her left; Cynthia and Flora were there waiting. “...showers free.” she told them, throwing a thumb over her shoulder then proceeded to walk over to her queen sized bed, smiling smugly to herself when she felt Naruto’s eyes on her.

Behind her, Cynthia and Flora slowly looked at one another, before the latter gave a naughty grin. “Oh, Naruto, honey,” Flora called out. “What say you to... a little show?”

Cynthia turned beet red at the suggestion.

“Oh~ kinky.” Naruto chuckled, he slowly got himself out from Eliza’s grip and got up. “I like that idea.”

Eliza got an idea of her own, knowing full well that her man was going to be hard as a brick from their display.

With that in mind, Flora grabbed Cynthia by the wrist and dragged her into the bathroom. Not that the latter put up any resistance. When she heard Naruto’s approval, she just had to please their man.

So when he followed them into the bathroom, Cynthia and Flora both pushed him down on the closed toilet seat; they both kissed him full on the lips, putting all their love into it and moaned pleasurably when he returned it. Then, they pulled away and started to slowly, sexily strip. Both of them had a naughty grin as they slowly removed their tops. Under Cynthia’s was a cute, little leotard, while Flora’s tunic stripped away to show off her white dress.

Then, both women brought their hands up to their shoulders to let their garments slip down. Two pairs of nice tits, one big and one small, bounced freely. Then, slowly and sensually, the girls started let their garments slide down even more. They wiggled their hips teasingly, with their hands behind their head, until the cloth dropped to their ankles and stepped out of it. Unsurprisingly, Cynthia was butt naked. Flora on the other hand was wearing a garter belt that was clipped on to her thigh-high stockings. And damn, did it look good on her.

Then, Cynthia yelped as Flora gave her a playful swat on the rear. Then, the former Number 14 turned beet red as she was pulled into a hug and kissed on the cheek. Flora giggled naughtily, eyeballing Naruto as she nipped and suckled at the crook of Cynthia’s neck. Then, she pulled the girl into the shower with her.

Flora turned on the shower and both herself and Cynthia moaned when their bodies felt the touch of hot water, in what seemed like forever. They did have hot water, but it took a long time to make, this ‘shower’ managed to heat up the fluid in a matter of seconds, a feat which, for them, was unheard of - until now that is.

As the steam from the hot water filled the bathroom, Cynthia and Flora began to make a show of washing themselves in the most sexual and sensual manner possible. They gasped, giggled and moaned as their hands wandered each other's bodies, all under the watchful and eager eyes of Naruto.

Naruto licked his lips with eager anticipation as his lovers lewdly explored each others bodies. Their pleased gasps when one of their hands found an erogenous zone, sent blood rapidly down to his crotch, making him feel increasingly uncomfortable the more they got… active.

Then they added the shampoo to each others hair and started to rub it onto their scalps. Like Miria they felt a weird tingle all over their heads, it was strange and irritating. But the water was quick to mix in it and washing away the dirt and grime that managed to build up since their last baths.

“Be careful when you’re rubbing it in your hair; if it gets in your eyes, it will sting; so the best way to avoid that from happening is to close your eyes. If you do get some of it in them, be sure to wash it out and do not rub your eyes or blink - it will only make it worse.” the blond advised them warningly.

The shampoo had been washed from their hair by that point, but they took his advice to heart.

“Thank you for warning us, Naruto-Sama,” Flora said and purred at him upon saying the last word.

Naruto chuckled at that, thoroughly enjoying the show, as Eliza skulked on up to him from around the corner. She dropped down to all fours and crawled up between his legs, spreading his knees and undoing his trousers.

Eliza then yelped and giggled as her man’s third leg sprang forth and tapped her on the nose. “Eager aren’t we?” She gently grasped Naruto’s dick and licked the underside of his tip, causing him to shudder. Then, she eyed him naughtily, whispering, “let me help you out while you’re enjoying the show, Naruto-Sama~!”

Said blond chuckled again, patting her on the head as she took him into her mouth. “Well, aren’t you considerate?” he said, before letting out a low groan as she took him deeper into her orifice

Seeing what Eliza was up to, Flora grinned naughtily and pulled Cynthia’s back to her. The former Number 14 yelped in surprise, and then her eyes rolled back upon feeling a hand caressing her folds.

This was new territory for the young woman. Never before did Cynthia have another woman do this to her. It was strange, but no different from what Naruto would do. Her eyes closed to keep the hot water from getting on them, and she moved her hand to her back and moved it down to Flora’s snatch to return the favour. The former Number 8 moaned throatily at her touch.

Off to the side, Eliza giggled around her man’s prick, as she felt it twitch at the perverted display. Those two must be doing something right. Naruto groaned when she licked him in just the right place, prompting Jean’s lieutenant to vigorously attack that very spot.

Naruto’s eyes rolled back. Holy shit, she was already about to make him blow!

Meanwhile, Veronica’s second-in-command wailed in pleasure at Flora’s ministrations. Cynthia could barely stand it; the captain behind her was just so damn good! Her legs felt like jelly, she was getting lightheaded. How was Flora so damn good at this?!

Little did she know, the former Number 8 had managed to memorise some of her own erogenous zones when she and Naruto had been copulating, and put her memorising to good use when it came to using it on her. It certainly helped there were a few erogenous zones every woman shared - their nipples and clit, for instance.

Cynthia let out a strangled groan as she felt Flora poke a finger into her, nearly cumming on the spot.

“That’s good, Eliza; keep doing that.” Naruto groaned; he kept his eyes on the women in the shower, though his view of them were beginning to fog over due to the steam. He didn’t mind though, there was still enough visibility. “That’s so damn sexy Flora, Cynthia. We should do this more often!”

“Gla-ah!-ad, you’re e-enjoying it, honey!” Cynthia mewled. Alas, Flora was not done with her.

“Cum for him,” the former Number 8 whispered into her ear, “you know you want to!”

That did it. Cynthia threw her head back and wailed in pleasure as the pressure that had been building in her loins found its release, at last. And thanks to Eliza vigorously licking him on that erogenous spot, and sucking him at the same time, Naruto had filled Eliza’s mouth with a strained groan. The woman’s cheeks bloated as her gob was filled with his seed; the choppy-haired woman swallowed each spurt that shot into her mouth like a pro.

When he was finished, the former Number 17 pulled away, being sure to suck out the lingering seed she craved as she did so and swallowed the remainder of his cum with an audible groan.

“Mmmm… thank you for the drink, Naruto-Sama~!” the choppy-haired woman said with a seductive grin.

Naruto chuckled and lovingly ruffled her hair, “I should be thanking you,” he told her; then the blond looked to Flora and Cynthia and smirked when he saw they were still feeling each other up. “Think you two can finish your shower by yourselves?”

“Mhmm,” Flora replied with a giggle.

“Y-yes!” a moaning and stammering Cynthia answered. “W-we’ll see you soon~”

The spiky-haired blond chortled and helped Jean’s second-in-command to her feet as he stood up from the toilet lid. “C’mon, babe, let’s leave them to it. We got plenty of time to rest and I gotta be sure I’m well rested for the meeting with the Raikage.”

“Of course, honey. That doesn’t mean we can’t… comfort you, though.” Eliza replied, with a suggestive grin.

Naruto let out a small laugh as they left the bathroom. “Too true.”

----

Several hours later.

Every person except one, was fast asleep; Riful had a queen sized bed all to herself. Alicia and Beth were sharing theirs. Eliza and Cynthia were sharing a bed and Miria and Flora were also sharing a bed. The second person who had a queen sized bed all to themself was Naruto.

He was a little restless to be honest. It must have been his nerves; despite being on good terms with Ei, the blond couldn’t help but be a little paranoid. Kumo-nins did have a reputation of attempted kidnappings and the like. And knowing how… hot headed the man is, the blond is pretty sure he’ll unintentionally offend his girls in someway.

As for Killer B, now that is going to be a meeting he is most definitely looking forward to. He’s just so cool! And he can’t wait to see everyone else's reaction to his antics.

Sigh a sigh Naruto closed his eyes and spread his senses.Looks like Isobu is following them still, he can feel his chakra directly under the boat. The blond stared at the ceiling for several long moments, before getting up, putting on his trousers and his white long sleeved shirt and making his way out of the room. He can strike up a conversation with Isobu at least, since Kurama’s fast asleep and he didn’t want to wake up his girls.

When he went outside and leaned against the railing, Naruto peered down and into the water. Despite how dark it was, the blond could see the Sanbi’s shell 50 metres under the boat. Knowing the turtle had good hearing, even under water, Naruto spoke to him.

“Isobu, wanna talk for a bit?”

The turtle moved out from under the boat, and slowly raised to the surface. “Sure. What do you want to talk about?” Isobu asked in a low, quiet whisper.

“I dunno really. Anything?”

“Alright - how are you feeling?”

“I’m feeling fine, all things considered.” Naruto replied with a sigh. “I was in a… pretty bad place when Hinata died. I slowly got over it, but the hole was never filled. It was only until I met my girls that I started feeling better. Less depressed. Happy even.”

“The ones responsible for that had been killed correct?”

“The ones who did the killing blow were, yes. The ones who sent them…” the blond clenched his fists. “not so much.”

“Hmm… I heard rumours that the new Hokage had been cleaning house. The ones who wanted your ‘shinobi licence’ - which I find stupid and unnecessary for you humans - revoked had been removed from positions of influence.” the titan sized turtle turned his head to look at the blond. “All of them were people who daimyos would listen to. But, when they realised just who these people wanted out of the way - let’s just say they were not happy for being played like a fiddle. At all.”

“What about old-man Onoki? He was one of them.”

“From what I heard he thought you should have advisors. Or something of the sort.” the turtle looked ahead once again, “He didn’t outright oppose your ascension to Hokage, but felt you should first be taught the ropes, as he wasn’t entirely confident in your abilities.”

“Oh… That’s a relief.” Naruto sighed. “What about you though? How have you been doing since I left the Elemental Nations? Have you kept in contact with Shukaku and the others?”

“Mostly just Chomei,” Isobu replied. “Matatabi’s been busy keeping an eye on Kumo. Shukaku’s been hanging out and bonding with Gaara. Not sure what the others have been up to. Goku seems to be hanging out around Haru for some reason, though.” The turtle hummed thoughtfully. “Not sure how he even got there, now that I think about it.”

Suddenly Naruto let out a snicker, “Think he got Chomei to hitch him a ride?”

Isobu blinked owlishly for a moment, as the mental image of Chomei struggling to carry Son Goku to Haru came to mind. That made him laugh a bit. Though he made sure to keep his tone down since everyone else is sleeping… well, for the most part. The night crew were up and about obviously.

“Probably. And most likely.” The turtle looked to the side, humming thoughtfully once more. ”Looks like we have some unexpected company...”

Naruto followed his line of vision and spotted Karui in an orange nightie peeking out from under her white house coat. She looked tired and a bit disheveled, but concerned. “Is everything okay?” she asked. “I couldn’t help but notice you wandering about.”

“I couldn’t sleep.” Naruto answered, before nodding towards Isobu. “Thought I’d strike up a conversation with Isobu; I haven’t had much contact with the other Tailed Beasts in over a year.”

Karui groaned as she stretched her back, before letting out a sigh. She asked, just to be sure. “Nothing’s bothering you, then?”

“Nope.” he answered; then he asked, beckoning the dark skinned redhead over. “You wanna chat as well?”

She averted her gaze, but nodded. “Sure…” She let out a sigh as something nagged at her. “I never did apologize, did I?”

Naruto and Isobu both gave her a curious look, “For what?”

She frowned. “For beating you within an inch of your life,” she clarified. “I know it’s been a while, and a lotta shit’s happened since, but I feel the need to say sorry.”

Naruto gave her a nonchalant shrug. “You were angry and worried about Bee. And I offered you to take your anger out on me. We’re good.”

“You’re too kind,” she said. “I’m guessing that’s why you keep attracting girls like a magnet.”

He snorted, “Hardly. Before I became a ‘hero’ no one ever looked at me that way. I finally understand why Sasuke avoided his fangirls in the academy, though I still can’t help but tease him about it, every now and then.” He chuckled at the memories. “His reactions never fail to be priceless.”

Karui rolled her eyes at that. It was amusing, but childish.

“After landing in that new continent, though, I was a blank slate. No one really knew about my… stigma, so why the girls came onto me over there depends on the individual. You’d have to ask them.”

Karui looked away bitterly, prompting Naruto to sigh.

“You wanna talk about what’s really bothering you?”

The redhead flinched. “I… uh… n-nothing’s bothering me, at all. I just wanted to apologise.” She nearly jumped out of her skin after hearing Isobu let out a hearty chuckle.

“Naruto may be a bit too dense to pick up the signals from the fairer sex, but I’m certainly not.”

That tipped him off. The blond gave Karui a concerned look. “You’re jealous, aren’t you?”

Said woman looked away, her cheeks taking on the same shade as her crimson locks. “I… I… uh.”

Naruto gave Isobu a look. “You mind giving some space for a moment?” he politely asked.

Oh, the turtle knew where this was bound to lead, but kept his amusement to himself. “Very well.” Isobu said, then as he slowly sank into the depths of the sea he said, “I’ll be around if you need me.”

“Okay buddy.” Naruto waved him goodbye, before turning to Karui. Now that they were alone he can get to the bottom of this. Best to be careful, though, this chick was a lot like Sakura - to the point of being creepily similar, in fact. So, offending her was bound to end quite painfully. “So, what’s exactly the problem?” he asked gently. “You’re clearly jealous, but why?”

“I… I’m not jealous.” she mumbled. “Why would I be jealous?” The poor thing nearly had a heartattack, when Naruto wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

“I dunno,” he replied with a shrug, then he narrowed his eyes and gave her a teasing smile. “Why would you be jealous?”

Now, she could feel the heat coming off her cheeks. Karui bit her lip, her heart racing. “I… I…” she then mumbled something too quietly for even Naruto to understand. The way she timidly said it, though, made it clear that it was embarrassing.

“I’m sorry,” Naruto whispered into her ear, “I didn’t hear you.”

She took a deep breath, “I… I…” and then mumbled something too quietly under her breath, again. Once more, Naruto couldn’t understand.

“Still can’t hear you~!” he whispered teasingly. The way he did so sent a shiver up her spine.

Karui’s knees trembled. She couldn’t breathe. How was he effecting her like this? How was this the same obnoxious brat from two years ago?!

“All teasing aside, I’m going to take a wild guess and say you’re jealous, because I managed to find people who liked me for me?” he looked at Karui with a small smile. “How close am I? Hot; warm; cold?”

Karui took a deep, calming breath. “N-no… I just…” she hesitated. “I… I wanted you first, damn it!”

He blinked and looked at her in honest, and genuine surprise. “Wait, really? You’re not just saying that, are you?”

She looked away, visibly embarrassed. “I’m n-not…”

Naruto blinked again and exhaled, “Okay, now I’m curious: how long was this for?”

“S-since the end of the war…” Karui admitted. “Seeing how far you’d go for people you barely even knew, seeing how protective you were over your friends, I couldn’t help but think it was so sweet. I never thought I’d meet such a selfless young man, before.” she turned and walked out of his embrace before leaning against the guardrail and staring off into the distance. “I’ll admit I just thought you were being childish at first, but the more I saw you, the more you grew on me, and the more I hated myself for beating you up, because I knew that I didn’t stand a chance.”

“You certainly would have stood a chance.” Naruto told her with a low laugh. “Hell, you still do, if you want it. Let me tell you this: one of my girls back in my new home was batshit crazy; she still is actually,” he chuckled, “and she tried to kill me when we first met - kicked her fine ass though. When she finally calmed down, we had a heart to heart. As it turns out, she’s another ‘complicated’ one, like Riful is. But, I helped her come to terms with herself and now she has a ring on her finger and a roof over her head.”

Karui looked at him with her golden eyes growing wide with surprise. She didn’t detect a single lie. Then, she shyly averted her gaze. “W-would you… like to go out to eat when we’re in Kumo, then? I know a nice place.”

Naruto chuckled, cupping her cheek and urging Karui to look at him. When she did, her eyes nearly popped out of her skull as the blond placed a short, but tender kiss on her lips. Her knees buckled on the spot and Naruto chuckled as he caught the flustered redhead before she could hurt herself.

“Sure, I don’t mind. Also,” he gave the dark skinned, crimson haired woman a look over and tugged a little at the sleeve of her robe. “whatchu wearing under there?”

Karui’s arms crossed over her chest as she glared at him.

“Joking, joking,” Naruto chuckled. “I gotta say, though: you’re cute as all hell.”

The redhead averted her gaze, rubbing her thighs together. Were this anyone else, anyone else, she would have decked him on the spot; but somehow, he was… effecting her, exciting her in all the right ways. She couldn’t explain it, but being so close to him, being ogled by him sent a pleasant shiver up her spine.

Why was that? Was it his confidence in himself? Was it the way he wasn’t boasting anymore, but had the power and the skill to back up his words? She eyed him longingly. One way or the other, something deep within her wanted him… but this was neither the time nor place for that.

That didn’t stop him from flirting, though.

Naruto looked down at her thighs and smirked, “Have to admit, I do like your panties. Orange is my favourite colour.”

She gave him a half hearted jab on the shoulder in retaliation. “P-pervert…”

“You’re accusing me of being a pervert?” he chuckled in poorly-mimicked indignation. “You should see the girls in my room - they’re naughty as all hell. So are several other girls back at home.” He then kissed her on the forehead. “I am guilty as charged, though.” Then he reached down and gave her rear end a spank.

Karui let out an undignified squeak as yet another pleasurable shiver ran up her spine.

“...consider that one of the many similar paybacks for you beating me up.” The Uzumaki growled into her ear.

She shuddered heatedly. She needed to get out of here. If this kept up, she’d be bent over the guardrail and doing something she’d… not quite regret, but her father would kill her!

“Also you didn’t answer my previous question: whatchu got under that robe? Show me!” he growled out the very back of his throat.

Karui mewled pathetically. “If someone catches us…” she growled threateningly. She had no idea how he was affecting her so, but, damn it, she wanted him!

The redhead let out a moan when she got another spank for her troubles. “Don’t you growl at me, girlie.” Naruto whispered playfully. “You wanted me? Well, you’re having me. On my terms.”

Karui’s knees trembled. Her breath was shallow. Holy shit, she was soaked! How the fuck was she enjoying this?! She covered her mouth when the blond reached down to cup her vagina through her panties. And with the other he unfurled the sash holding her robe close, and exposing to him what she was wearing underneath.

It was quite the sexy attire, really; a little, orange, midriff-bearing tank and orange panties kept up with orange ribbons. Naruto grinned. While she had little to brag about in the chest department, she had one hell of an ass.

Karui had never been so embarrassed in her life, and yet, she couldn’t help but find this so hot. She blushed so hard the redhead swore her cheeks were giving off light when she felt him rubbing at her vagina.

“You’re dripping wet,” Naruto purred into her ear. “You want it, don’t you~?”

“N-no- Eep!” she tried to deny, only for her denial to be cut off when his fore and middle fingers curved and tried to dig into her cunt; her panties being the only barrier stopping his digits from getting inside.

“Liar~!” he exclaimed softly, “if you didn’t, you would have said something or pushed me away by now.” just to prove it he stopped feeling her up and crossed his arms. Then he said in an authoritative tone, “strip naked. But keep your robe on.” if nothing else, she may be able to use her robe to cover herself if someone were to walk in on them.

Karui shuddered blissfully, unable to keep herself from complying if she wanted to. Her trembling hands moved up and slipped her robe right off. Then, she crossed her arms and pulled her tanktop up and off, before pressing it against her chest in hesitation. She jolted at yet another swat to the rear and timidly dropped the garment, before undoing the ribbons that held up her panties. Karui shuddered once more as she felt Naruto’s hand brush past her dark red curls and caress her vulva directly the instant her last garment fell upon the deck.

“Mmmmm…” she whimpered, instinctively spreading her thighs to give him better access.

“Very nice; your body is very, very nice.” he grinned and Naruto slowly turned her around and pulled her back against his chest. “I’m going to enjoy breaking it in.”

Her whole body trembled now as Karui mewled longingly. Try as she might, the redhead couldn’t help but grind her rear against his crotch, shivering at the feel of something very big poking her.

“Now, bend over,” Naruto whispered into her ear, licking the lobe as he fished out his cock. “I’m going to own your ass from here on out! But, I’ll give you one chance to say otherwise...”

Karui bit her lip. It took every ounce of her willpower not to back out. She knew damn well that this was a bad idea, that this was a bad time, but she simply didn’t care. She did as he said, gripping the guardrail tightly and spreading her legs without so much as another sound - let alone another word. She wanted this.

Naruto took that as her consent and placed a hand on the redhead’s hip, guiding his tip to her dripping folds.

Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped as she felt the massive, bulbous head poking into her. Naruto had the foresight to cover her mouth before her screams woke up every passenger on the ship; at the same time, he slowly eased his way into her dripping cootch, stretching her cunt to its absolute limit.

Naruto’s eyes crossed as he felt Karui’s interior walls squeeze him like a vice. “So you were a virgin, too?” he chuckled. “Damn, girl! I’ll make sure you enjoy this, then~!”

Karui whimpered into his palm, too embarrassed to reply, but it was true. He was the first man she’d ever had. She clenched her muscles, squeezing his shaft. If he was going to keep his word, then by damn, she was going to show her appreciation. When he finally touched her cervix the redhead mewled into his palm as a fullness she had never experienced overcame her.

But like Yuma, Naruto barely got all fifteen inches in her; the blond managed to get 9 inches of his 15 inside. That left 6 inches unaccounted for. He was going to correct that - utterly reshape her pussy to fit him and only him, leaving her utterly unsatisfied when she is with any other man apart from him.

He took his hand away from her mouth and moved it down to her waist.

“Soooo.... Fuckin’ full…” she moaned with an almost delirious look on her pretty face. Then her golden eyes shot open as she felt him push in more. She looked over her shoulder at him in shock, “Wha- you’re not completely in?!” How the hell big was he?!

“Of course not,” he scoffed, then he added with a cocky grin. “I have 9 more inches to get inside of you. And believe me, I will fit every. Single. Inch. Inside of your tight ass cunt and make you my bitch.” he emphasised his last word by forcibly shoving one more inch into her cunt.

Karui’s voice got caught in her throat and her whole body trembled once more. Holy shit, she was going to be utterly ruined by this stud, wasn’t she?

Naruto groaned as he felt her inner walls flutter around his dick, sucking him in with every inch as he slowly but surely squeezed himself into her. He slowly bust through her cervix and managed to get the rest of his cock inside of her, poking his head into her womb.

The poor redhead nearly fainted from both pain and pleasure as she finally felt Naruto’s balls press up against her clit. She was at his mercy, now - completely unable to move. Naruto was fine with that, though; he’d gladly do all the work from here on out. The blond groaned, his newest woman’s cootch sucking at his cock as he pulled back. Then, without warning, he slammed into Karui, pulling her hips towards his. The woman yelped in utter bliss, and then he did it again… and again, and again. With each and every thrust, he sped up just a bit until he found a brisk, comfortable pace to keep.

Karui’s knuckles turned bone white as she squeezed the guardrail for dear life. Every inch of her body screamed out in joy as Naruto pounded her like a bent nail. Her eyes rolled back and her tongue lolled out as she fell into a sexual daze. No wonder he kept attracting so many women!

Naruto snaked one hand around and started fingering her clit while keeping pace. The effect was immediate, as Karui came on the spot. “Fuck,” Naruto groaned. She squeezed him so tightly! Her fluttering walls contracted around his shaft; her juices splashed against and coated his lap; her whole body stiffened, then trembled as it went slack. He doubled his pace and Karui gurgled, her voice still caught in her throat from sheer pleasure as a second orgasm hit her the second the first one abated. Her constantly fluttering and contracting walls quickly proved too much for him.

The blond pulled her hips to his and slammed into her one more time. He did his damnedest to keep his roar down so as not to wake everyone up as he shot his seed directly into her fertile, previously-untouched womb. He quickly put a hand on her mouth as Karui found her voice and screamed in pleasure. With each spurt, Naruto thrust into her once more; with each thrust Karui screamed into his hand.

The feel of his hot, thick spunk filling her womb to the brim, of his throbbing dick dancing within her, of Naruto’s balls hitting her clit with every thrust, drove her utterly mad. When finally Karui stopped squealing, the blond withdrew his hand and chuckled when she started suckling upon his middle finger.

Naruto stepped back and let his deflating monster cock slip out of Karui’s deflowered, dripping snatch. He groaned at the feel of his dick leaving her, recoiling at the cold, night air upon his pecker. Then, the sound of his spunk pattering on the deck caught his newest woman’s attention.

Karui went pale as realization hit her. “My father’s going to kill us both,” she muttered, prompting Naruto to raise an eyebrow. “This was… n-not a safe time to do that.”

The blond sighed, pulling her into a one-armed hug. “I’ll take good care of you,” he said. “I promise,” he said, giving her a warm, reassuring smile.

The redhead leaned into his hug, muttering, “you’d better.”

Naruto chuckled warmly, kissing her on the forehead. Then, after quickly making himself presentable, he helped Karui gather her clothes and get dressed. “You can use my shower to wash up, if you want.”

She blushed at the kind offer and gave him a peck on the cheek. Yeah, that sounded like a good idea. If she was going to piss off her family, then having a month or so to prepare ahead of time would be nice… just in case.

----

As morning came, Karui groaned. She didn’t want to get up, but, damn it, her body simply won’t let her sleep past 5 am, anymore. Kumogakure’s hellish training program made damn sure of that. Damn, she was sore… especially downstairs.

She was going to be walking funny, wasn’t she?

The redhead pushed herself up, shaking the sleep from her mind. Then, the instant the haze was lifted, Karui realized she was in the wrong room… in the wrong bed… on top of Naruto. Fuck…

Fuck, fuck, fuck!

She was so dead… she was so, totally dead...

Immediately drawn to a feminine giggle, Karui found herself staring at the scariest damn little girl she’d ever laid eyes upon. Despite Riful’s harmless appearance, despite having met her just recently, Karui couldn’t shake the feeling that she was but a little mouse in the gaze of a rattlesnake. She broke into a cold sweat. Though she knew not why, every fiber of her being cried out in panic and horror, warning her that this little girl was dangerous.

“I trust that my husband treated you well~?”

The lifeblood drained from Karui’s face in an instant. “Please don’t kill me…”

Riful giggled again. “Oh, please, I was already sharing him with 25 other women, before you came around,” she pointed out. “Hell, those are just the ones I know of…” Then, all amusement left the Abyssal loli’s face and her eyes disappeared, replaced by empty pits aglow with an otherworldly, pink light of some kind. “But, if you hurt him, I will eat you,” she said, her voice having taken on an unholy, metallic tinge and a deeper, more mature pitch.

“Yes, ma’am,” Karui squeaked.

“Now, now, Riful,” Naruto scolded gently, “be nice.” he told her, leaning his head up to look at the Abyssal One with an amused smile.

Said loli blinked, her eyes turning back to normal. “Just looking out for you, Naruto-Sama,” she said with an innocent smile. Her voice had also returned to normal.

It was as if none of that crazy shit had ever happened. Was Karui hallucinating, just now? Oh, by the gods above, she hoped that was the case! She’d dealt with a lot of shit over the course of her career, and demonic, scary-ass murder-lolis were not among the items she wanted being added to that list.

Returning her gaze to the man who’d taken her innocence, Karui noted that the twins were snuggling up to him - each one hugging either arm - and that they had not been there, seconds ago. Well, okay, then…

Naruto didn’t need to be capable of reading minds to know what Karui was thinking. “Yeah,” Naruto chuckled. “These two tend to be a bit… clingy. Not that I mind. I think it’s kinda cute, but I swear they’ve learned how to teleport or something.”

Alicia and Beth giggled at that.

“Noted,” Karui muttered. She looked over to the clock on the wall and gently plopped back down, snuggling up to Naruto and enjoying his warmth. “It’s only 6, so we still have a couple hours before we arrive, at the very least. Delays happen, so it could take longer.” She then groaned upon hearing someone knocking at the door.

That was Omoi, wasn’t it?

Many of the girls reacted as well, wondering who that was. Seeing as how she was the most awake of the lot who weren’t naked, Riful hopped off the bed and quickly scurried on up to answer. As Karui had predicted, a dark-skinned lollipop addict was waiting on the other side, looking rather panicked.

He bowed respectfully, before asking, “have you seen my sister?” then, in his typical manner, he couldn’t help but go in a tangent. “She didn’t come back to our quarters, last night, after checking on Naruto, and if she didn’t come back, then something must have happened to her, which means she must have fallen overboard, and if she fell overboard in the middle of the night, the sharks would have gotten to her, and -” a little, fluffy slipper cut cut his rant short, bouncing off his chest, before twirling in the air and falling straight down in a cartoonish manner.

“You’re ranting, again,” Karui groaned, still lying atop Naruto. One of the slippers by his bed were conspicuously missing, and how the hell she reached and threw the damn thing from her position was quite the mystery. “Fifty lollipops if you don’t tell our father.”

“As you can see, she’s just fine,” Riful pointed out with a giggle. “She might be walking funny for a while after what I heard last night, though~.”

Omoi visibly balked at that. He really didn’t need to know the details of his sister’s sex life…

“R-right. I’ll leave you to it, then,” he said awkwardly. Having known about Karui’s crush on Naruto, this came as no real surprise. She was notably impulsive and emotional for a ninja, after all - especially one of her rank. He did fully intend to take a certain redhead up on her offer, though… and to have a stern talk with a certain blond about how well he was not expected, but going to treat her.

Dysfunctional, though they may be, Karui and Omoi were still family, after all...

After Omoi left and Riful closed the door, Cynthia decided to add her two cents with a giggle. “My, my, someone works fast~!” she teased.

Naruto couldn’t help but chuckle. “To be fair, she already had a crush on me,” he explained.

“I noticed,” Cynthia pointed out. She was still wary of the redhead, but if Riful seemed okay with her here, then there seemed to be little reason for the former Number 14 to feel that way. Still, better safe than sorry… “I take it she’s part of the family, then?” she ventured.

Karui turned beet red at that. “I-it depends on how everything pans out,” she sputtered. “I like him, don’t get me wrong, but the thought of sharing my boyfriend, let alone with so many women, feels… awkward. It’ll take some getting used to. M-maybe after a date or two…”

Cynthia hummed thoughtfully. Well, that seemed settled - at least for now.

“We’re probably going to be here for a day or two,” Miria pointed out; she had a twitching eye at seeing her husband with another hussy - someone she doesn’t even know; a foreigner, for that matter. Granted, her husband was one, too, but that was beside the point. She took a deep breath and exhaled, “However, I suppose we can spare a few more days. As long as no one catches wind of us being here.” she negotiated.

“The people from this ‘Organization’ have been tagged with a KoS,” Karui pointed out, “so, you don’t need to worry about them.”

“KoS?” Miria questioned.

“Short for ‘Kill on Sight’,” Karui explained, sitting up with no small amount of effort. As she did so, the blanket covering her, Naruto and the twins fell down to reveal that they were all naked - serving to further foul Miria’s mood. “They are recognized as enemies of an ally, and we take out foreign relations very seriously as a nation. The enemy of our friend is our enemy, period.” She blushed upon feeling Naruto’s reaction to seeing her naked body, before clearing her throat and continuing. “I also have a lot of friends in high places, seeing as how my unit serves as the Raikage’s personal task force, so if you still want to keep yourselves away from the public eye, then I can help.”

Miria took the opportunity to eyeball Karui’s physique and noted that she was pretty damn fit. There was almost no visible body fat on the kunoichi; she was lean, fit and even rocked a few battle scars here and there - certainly the type a man would go for, if he was into strong women… a man like Naruto, if his harem was anything to go by.

The former Number 6 sighed, crossing her arms. At least she was a useful hussy, she’d give her that. “That would be very much appreciated,” Miria said. Spiteful and jealous though she may be, Naruto’s ‘secretary’ was legitimately grateful for the help.

Karui sighed. Much as she liked it here, she needed to be ready for when they dock. “I’ll need to grab my stuff,” she said. “I wasn’t exactly wearing much under that housecoat, so I’ll be heading back.” She tucked her hair behind one ear and gave Naruto a quick peck on the lips. “Call me if you need me.”

“Will do,” Naruto replied.

With that all said and done, Karui carefully slipped out of bed, making sure not to disturb the twins, before grabbing her clothes. It didn’t take long for her to get back into her outfit from the previous night, and then she scurried off to actually get dressed.

“So, what’s she like?” Flora asked, legitimately curious.

“A bit of a hothead, admittedly, and stubborn as all hell, but with a big heart,” Naruto said. “She cares very deeply for her comrades, and refuses to back down if she thinks she can make a difference. It’s pretty admirable, really. Reminds me of Sakura, but more capable… by a lot, actually.”

“Easy to see why you’d like her, then,” Flora said with a giggle. “You seem to have a thing for the strong types.”

“Admittedly…” Naruto chuckled. “When we first met, she beat me to an inch of my life - with my consent!” he hastefully added when he saw their looks of outrage. “Back then her team was sent to my hometown to get information on the person who attacked someone of theirs who had high importance. Long story short, she was angry and I allowed her to take her anger out on me.”

“You have an uncomfortable habit of doing that,” Cynthia pointed out. The poor girl nearly had a heart attack when she heard that Naruto had let Ophelia take her anger towards Priscilla out on him. “Are there any other cases we don’t know about?”

“Hmm… well there was that one time I lost my right arm to my best friend. Took out his left arm as well though.”

“You have a strange definition of the word friend…” Cynthia muttered.

Naruto shrugged with a mirthful smile. “I made a promise to Sakura to bring his sorry ass back. It took me nearly three years and a Great war to do so, but I managed. To be fair, he was pretty messed up in the head - it didn’t help that Orochimaru made it worse with his curse mark. But, I eventually knocked him back to his senses.”

“Define messed up?” Flora asked.

“Sasuke was tortured by his own brother for 64 hours in his mind, by making him watch his entire family die over and over and over again through a forbidden technique. And the bastard did it again a few years later. Combine that with reality giving him a bitch slap after everyone in Konoha and their mother convincing him from the age of six on up that he’s special, on top of finding evidence that his clan’s extermination was sanctioned by various local, high-tier politicians, and you’ve got one hell of a psychological cocktail.”

Many of his women winced at that; only Alicia, Beth and Riful were excluded - the latter because she didn’t really give a damn about Sasuke; she didn’t know him, nor did she meet him. Alicia and Beth simply didn’t understand what Naruto was saying all too well - to them, all they knew is that something bad happened to this guy’s family, and his only brother made things worse. That was it. That was all.

Despite the progress the twins made, some things simply did not change.

“Anything else we should know about?” Miria asked.

“Not that I know. If I do I’ll be sure to let you know- wait!” Naruto snapped his fingers in remembrance. “There is one thing: Kirabi, or, as he likes to call himself, Killer B. We’re likely going to be meeting him, so to warn you ahead of time - he can be a little… eccentric.”

Miria didn’t like the sound of that… “Eccentric, how?”

Naruto did his best to impersonate his latest mentor, flamboyant had-waving and all, while explaining it. “He likes to speak in rhymes, all the damn times; and Number 9 is mighty fine, for baggin’ such sweet babes, fool ya’ fool! ...he sounds like that, basically.”

Everyone literally gave him a bewildered look, even Alicia and Beth. “...wat?”

“Exactly…” Naruto muttered. “I still have nightmares,” he jokingly added, “but he’s ultimately harmless. Just weird. But that doesn’t mean he isn’t capable of kicking ass and taking names.”

“You have a lot of respect for him.” Miria observed as she, Flora, Cynthia, Eliza and Riful all sat down on his queen sized bed.

Naruto chuckled as he pulled Alicia and Beth into his arms who mewled with joy. “I do; for all his weirdness, Bee is a good person. Although he’s stubborn, proud, and quite confident in himself and his own abilities; he likes to be called ‘Lord Jinchuuriki’ and his Tailed Beast ‘Lord Eight-Tails’, but since you’re all with me, you probably won’t have to do that.”

Riful tilted her head curiously. “‘Lord Jinchuuriki’? Not Jinchuuriki-Sama?”

Naruto shrugged, “It’s the same thing - just a different way to say it.” he told her; then, he looked to Miria, Flora, Eliza and Cynthia. “So we have a few hours to kill before we reach Kumo; what do you girls wanna do?”

An after image was left in her wake as Miria used her phantom technique to appear on his lap before anyone else. “You,” she said hungrily, giving him a peck on the lips. After waking up to see yet another new woman on top of her man, the former Number 6 couldn’t help but feel a bit possessive - a sentiment visibly shared by the other women in the room.

Naruto let out a nervous chuckle, unable to tell if he should dread or look forward to the heated romp to come.

----

Back with the Organization; Dae has had success with the task that was given to him. He was so proud of his accomplishment in fact, the scarred man thought it would be pertinent to inform the elder.

“I take it this is not a social call, Dae. How goes your progress at reviving your ‘collection’?” Rimuto questioned Dae in an authoritative tone.

“The process of bringing the bodies back to their physical peak has been quicker than I initially thought.” the man revealed with a sickeningly disturbing smile. “The corpses that were reduced to but a mere head only need one more day until they’re fully regrown; those who were fully intact, such as Roxanne, Cassandra and Hysteria are already back at their peak. All that is required now is to find a way to truly revive them.” he took a moment to catch his breath, and to gather his thoughts, “The biggest challenge were Chloe, and Sistina, seeing as how they were literally eaten, by Luciela and a shiver of sharks respectively. But they were regenerated, eventually. Miranda seems like the best one to revive first, because she’d be the easiest and would thus give us a good idea of just how practical this plan is. On top of that, she’s the most likely way to keep Cassandra from trying to kill Roxanne a second time.”

“I see... “ Rimuto had a frown at the mention of Roxanne; while he wasn’t around when she was active, he had read the reports when he became elder. The damn woman was downright sadistic, with how she did things; befriending many women of a higher rank, learning their techniques until she surpassed them and then they would ‘mysteriously’ die on an awakened hunt. She set them up to die.

And then the incident with Cassandra - reports from witnesses had informed the Organization of how Roxanne allowed an awakened being to kill her only friend. And then had the gaul to rub it in her face. The Number 1 at the time didn’t take it well, to say the least. The attempt to avenge her friend ended in Cassandra’s death, by her own comrades who were shitting themselves after seeing her technique in action. While Rimuto didn’t care all that much for their warriors - they were tools to be used and discarded, and due to them being under constant risk of awakening themselves, they were defective ones as far as he was concerned - he was glad someone like Roxanne was not around.

He was not pleased at all that Roxanne herself was being revived; but in these times, they needed every resource they could get their hands on, just in case Rubel did not achieve in his mission.

“Is there any way we can immunize them to the Ladykiller’s wiles? I would rather not run the risk of these revived warriors turning on us.”

“That risk will constantly be there, unfortunately.” Dae replied, crossing his arms. “If they’re not capable of cognitive thought, they will be predictable, and that’s the last thing we need them to be, if we are to eliminate such a cunning opponent.”

“I see…” he wasn’t happy about that. But Rimuto could see where Dae was coming from. If they’re able to think, then they’ll be able to adapt to the situation a lot easier than someone who is practically braindead. “Keep me updated on any significant progress you make.”

“Of course,” Dae replied with a bow.

----

Several hours later:

Renee groaned. How long had she been asleep for? She pushed herself up with no small amount of effort and yelped at the throbbing pain in her loins. The former ‘Eye’ turned beet red in an instant as the memories of her defloration flooded her mind.

She looked around wearily and groaned in discomfort as she shifted around on the bed. Geez her loins were sore; totally worth it though. With a hiss of discomfort Renee got out of her bed and slowly got dressed; now clothed, the former ‘Eye’ made her way out of her bedroom with a noticeable limp.

She found Jean in the nursery, along with Jean, Undine, Helen, Veronica, Galatea and Diana looking after the children. She wasn’t all that surprised to see Jean, Veronica and Galatea there; they were pregnant after all and had a legitimate reason for being there.

As for Helen, Diana and Undine, the former ‘Eye’ would have thought they were honing their new abilities Naruto unlocked for them.

Then Jean looked towards the doorway, when she felt someone's eyes on her and smiled upon seeing Renee looking in on them. “Hello, how was your rest?”

Her question had gotten everyone’s attention, and they all looked in the same direction Jean was.

Renee shrugged with a small smile. “I slept like a baby.” after being given the fucking of a
lifetime that was. The braided woman then looked to the others. “Are we not training today?” she asked Helen, Diana and Undine.

“We have a few hours to kill before that.” Helen replied, “I got the scroll; but I can’t understand the language on it - Naruto’s clones are going to help with the translating. So, it should prove to be interesting.”

Renee nodded. Then, for some reason, she couldn’t help but look at the kids… nor could she keep the smile of her face.

Jean knew that look. When she gave birth to little William, the former Number 9 had the same one - a look of both admiration and… something else. “You want one, too…” That wasn’t a question. She giggled when Renee’s eyes widened in shock and embarrassment.

The former Number 6 looked away, her cheeks stained a bright red.

“I know exactly how you feel,” Veronica said. “You body says yes, but your mind says no. You’re not the first, and I doubt you’ll be the last. ” she sighed thoughtfully, as she scooped up a crying boy - Alicia’s boy, Alan if memory served. He was hungry. “But trust me, through all the pain, it’s worth enduring.” she freed her breast and brought Alan to her nub.

Alicia wasn’t here to do this, so it fell to her, Galatea and Jean to feed them, among others. Tabitha, Clare and Zelda assisted when they could, but they had training and their own brats to worry about.

“If you say so,” Helen chuckled nervously. “It’s still intimidating as all hell.”

“On the bright side - the sex is simply amazing!” Galatea chirped with a giggle; then she giggled again when a girl - Hana, one of Cynthia’s kids, if her memory serves her right - gurgled babishly as she raised her arms, wanting to be lifted. The first ‘Eye’ of Naruto’s harem held Hana up and made cute faces at the infant, cooing as she giggled at the faces Galatea was making.

“Yes, it is.” Jean added dreamily. “Having his seed pouring into your womb, is the best thing about it. I swear he got me addicted to it.” she sighed despairingly as her hands rubbed her stomach. “It’s a shame the real deal isn’t here. But I think I can settle for his clones to satisfy me, until he gets back.”

“They are just as good as him,” Galatea said with a giggle. “They even have his abilities~!”

“Please don’t remind me,” Renee groaned. “I’m still having nightmares from that roleplay you, Luciela and Ophelia did with him...”

The former Number 3 grinned evilly at her. “You should try it some time~!”

“Oh stop teasing her,” Jean sighed, doing a bang up job in hiding her amusement. She couldn’t help but eyeball Riful’s brat, Harja.

The child in question looked just like her mother. Hell, the resemblance was so strong as to verge on creepy; it was as if the only thing she’d inherited from Naruto were his deep, cerulean eyes! She stared back, cocking her head cutely and drawing a smile from the former Number 9.

Renee cleared her throat, and awkwardly pointed to her right. “I’m… going to go now.” then she walked away, unfortunately for her, all of them saw her moving with a noticeable limp in her step.

“So how was the deep pounding he gave you?” Helen asked aloud, causing Renee to yelp in embarrassment and walk faster. She sniggered to herself, even as she heard some of the others sigh exasperatedly at her antics. She looked at them with an amused grin, “What? As her elder I have full rights to tease her.”

Galatea giggled, in amused agreement.

----

Karui blushed, trying her damnedest to hide her limp. She both loved and hated how impossibly big Naruto was - though at the moment, she hoped beyond hope that her father wasn’t anywhere nearby.

Spotting her nervousness, Naruto approached. “Something wrong?” he asked.

Karui jumped in surprise from the sound of his voice, before calming herself. “Just worried that my father might spot my limp and start asking awkward questions. He’s old-fashioned, and if he finds out that I had sex before getting married, he’ll flay the skin off my back.”

Naruto hummed as he took in her plight. Then he said, “I can get rid of it if you want.”

The redhead blushed, shyly averting her gaze. “Please, do!”

“How do you want it done?” He put a hand on her shoulder, “like this, or…” then he trailed his arm down to her stomach, before sliding his hand under her waistband and cupped her groin “would you like me to do it this way?”

Karui’s cheeks now bore the same shade as her crimson locks. “I… don’t mind.” she whispered without thinking. “J-just be quick about it. We’re about to dock and I don’t want any passers by to see you with your hand down there.”

He smirked, “Alright,” and with a short, but controlled burst of chakra into her groin, he got rid of her limp. Then he pulled his hand out and stood beside her, acting as if nothing had happened.

The redhead shuddered happily at the feel of his chakra washing over her loins and ridding her of the soreness that had been bothering her so. “T-thanks.”

“You’re welcome; anytime you wanna suck my dick though…” he chuckled when the still red-faced Karui half-heartedly punched him on the arm. Though she was thinking on taking up his offer when she gets the chance, this was not the time or place to talk about it.

Then, the sound of a large bell ringing caught their attention as the captain’s voice boomed from the intercom. “All hands, prepare to dock,” he said. “We’re about to make landfall.”

“Looks like that’s our cue to get the others and head out,” Naruto said with a chuckle.

“Indeed,” Karui said with a nod.

The poor woman then felt the heat coming off her cheeks when she heard Naruto ask, “so, where’s that restaurant you mentioned? You can take me there once we get settled in Kumo and finish the meeting with Ei.”

----

A few minutes later Miria couldn’t help but gape at the sight before her. Atop a mighty plateau and scraping the clouds themselves, the monolithic towers of Kumogakure no Sato simply boggled her mind.

Behind her, Cynthia, Eliza, Flora and Alicia and Beth were in the same boat. Everything was so advanced, so different from what they were used to, so damn huge! Never before had they imagined something like this to be possible!

Naruto looked at her with an amused grin. “Not quite what you were expecting, is it?” he asked. “Kumogakure no Sato literally means the Village Hidden among the Clouds.”

“The lift’s this way,” Samui said. “From there, we’ll meet up with Darui and bring you to the hotel you’ll be staying in. Ei-Sama will see you when he’s ready.”

“Alright,” he gestured for her to lead the way. Samui nodded and took the lead as usual, and Naruto beckoned his girls to follow after him. Since they were important to the discussion, they’re going to need to be there too. The blond wondered if Bee was going to be there; it’ll be nice seeing him again. Matatabi and Chomei too, if he gets the chance to see them.

With Team Samui leading them, Naruto and his girls got a firsthand glimpse at how tight the security was. The people of Kumo took protecting their village very seriously. At the base of the plateau was a lift just big enough for one wagon at a time and no less than one-hundred fully armed men and women were posted throughout the docks. Said lift was also the only way to enter the village from where they were.

Making matters worse for potential invaders, the village was surrounded by a fifty-foot, stone wall. Naruto recognized the strange markings carved into it as repulsion seals, in case some dumbass thought it would be a good idea to run up the side, and several cannons lined the walls, just above the array. These, combined with the sheer plateau it all stood atop made invading the village a fool’s errand. While nothing was truly impossible, laying siege upon Kumo would result in a pyrrhic, at best for even the other members of the Big Five.

Naruto let out a whistle at the sight. “You beefed up security!”

His voice drew the attention of every single shinobi and kunoichi in the area. And to the surprise of Miria, Flora, Cynthia, Eliza and Riful they all stood at attention and gave the blond a salute. Apparently they all remember what he did for them during the war, and despite him being a ‘missing-nin’, they all respect him enough to salute him. Many of them were smiling happily when they saw him as well.

His lovers drew some curious glances, though. Their strange attire and weapons raised many an eyebrow, as well.

“Samui… why are they saluting?” Naruto asked in utter perplexment. He may be regarded as a hero to many a people, but wasn’t this going to a bit far? He isn’t that important!

“Why wouldn’t they?” said blonde asked with an amused chuckle. “You saved us all.”

“I don’t think that warrants people saluting me as if I was their superior though.” he pointed out, though he returned the gesture with a nervous smile nonetheless.

“You would be, if it weren’t for the assholes who tried to get you put on a leash, and we all know it,” Karui pointed out. “To many of us here, you’re always going to be regarded as a kage. An unofficial Kage, but a kage nonetheless.”

He chuckled sheepishly, unable to help but be flattered. Huh, maybe he should have paid more attention to the way he was treated by the other shinobis whenever he encountered them here. They always did treat him with the highest of respects, though he thought that was because of him saving their hides during the war. He didn’t think it was because of this, however!

Riful giggled pridefully. She couldn’t help but enjoy her man receiving a welcoming fit for a king.

With that out of the way, Naruto and his entourage headed to the lift. It didn’t take long for Darui and a full anbu escort to enter their field of vision. When the former saw Naruto his expression brightened considerably, and he and the escort met Naruto’s entourage in the middle.

“I take it these are your advisors?” Daui asked, eyeballing the women. “They certainly look like they’re not from around here. Nice swords, though.”

“Two of them are, Riful and Miria act as them.” Naruto replied, gesturing to the women in question. Then he gestured to each woman as he introduced them, “Flora is one of the captains of the rebellion, Cynthia and Eliza are stand ins for the other two. And the twins, they’re...”

“Practically glued to his hips,” Riful finished for him with a sigh. “They’ve become reliant on him, because the Organization tried to strip them of their emotions in an attempt to create ‘perfect’ weapons. Needless to say, that didn’t work.”

Darui frowned. Such practices weren’t unheard of, but they were certainly not smiled upon.

“Think of the twins as an attempt to create the ‘perfect’ Jinchuuriki, but with barbaric methods that tried to strip them of their humanity, soul and emotions.” Naruto added with a heavy scowl. “The similarities to what Gaara was put through are uncanny. And since they’re now on my side, the Organization is most likely doing it again to a new pair of siblings.”

Team Samui frowned sympathetically.

“Noted,” Darui said. “We can get them psychological help, if you want.”

“I hate to say it, but it’s best if you don’t.” Naruto told the man, his frown deepening. “They’re half-demons, and I can tell you for certain that trying to get inside their heads or talking to them about what they’ve been through is not a good idea. Alicia and Beth are individually strong enough to take on a Kage and win. Together, they’re three times as powerful, at least.” He then let out a sigh. “I’m helping them as much as I can, considering I have experience with this. But, they’re recovering pretty well on their own.”

They were capable of showing affection, jealousy and lust; just recently they’ve understood the concept of love, since they have children. They share a similar feeling to Naruto but it was different at the same time. It wasn’t the same kind of love they had for their kids, but, it was similar enough for them to know it was love, just not the kind they’re now familiar with.

“If you say so,” Darui said with a sigh of his own. “Shall we be on our way, then?”

“Yes please.” he gestured for the man to lead the way with a smile; then he looked to his harem. “Stay close. I don’t want you all to get separated. Kumogakure is a pretty big place. It’s easy to get lost.”

The women all nodded, following Naruto and the local ninja to the hotel.

As they went on their way Naruto came to realise something. “Darui, is there a bank on the way to the hotel?”

“Yup. It’s a big building on the left side of the road. Sticks out like a sore thumb, too. Can’t miss it.”

“Alright, let’s stop there for a minute. I want to take some ryo out for my girls to spend. Let them get some souvenirs from their time here.”

Darui chuckled. “That’s fine; I’d do the same thing, myself, really.”

----

About thirty minutes later, the women marveled at the sheer size of the hotel room. The damn thing was literally the size of a house!

“We had to change the reservation at the last minute when we heard that you’d be bringing seven guests instead of two, but we managed,” Darui chuckled.

“Spacious. And many beds. I like it.” Naruto said as he and his girls observed his room.

The ‘room’ was a three bed, two bath penthouse suite at the top floor of Kumo’s most prestigious five star hotel. There was a kitchenette, Two king size beds in each bedroom, a patio with hot tub, a little mini bar, among other things. Clearly, this was meant for the likes of a daimyo.

“...I like this. I like this very much~!” Riful said, giggling like the little girl she appeared to be.

Naruto couldn’t blame her. This was very nice. Were those real marble countertops? Very nice. With a smile he walked over to said counter top, took out a scroll, and proceeded to release its contents: a huge wad of cash. “How long until we see the Raikage?”

“Your appointment’s at noon,” Darui said. Looking at the clock, he noted that it was 10 am. “It’s be best if you were prepared to meet him at 11:30. It’s a long walk to his office.”

“Noted.” Naruto replied, “thanks for showing us here, Darui.”

“It was a pleasure,” the man replied. “Team Samui will be with you while you’re here, once they’ve turned in their report.”

“Alright. I’ll be seeing you around.”

With that said and done Darui walked out of the room, and closed the door behind him, leaving Naruto and his girls to themselves. A pair of anbu stood guard outside, so as to make sure no one disturbed them.

Naruto decided take a look at what they had in the fridge and asked, “so… who’s hungry?”

----

Meanwhile, in his office, Ei scowled at the letter in his hands. Just a few minutes ago, a messenger hawk from Konoha arrived with it.

“To Ei-Dono, the Yondaime Raikage,

I have received word as to Naruto’s whereabouts from a client who wants him relocated. It would appear that he’s gotten himself in some trouble with a local company and one of their representatives has asked me to keep him from interfering with their business.

This company specializes in the extermination of local, man-eating creatures called youma, and Naruto’s apparently incited a workers’ revolt of sorts. My intention is to have him peacefully moved to Sunagakure, where he has a number of friends who would be glad to give him a new home, I’m sure. Since neither Hidden Village is capable of sparing manpower and resources at the moment to search for one person, I am humbly requesting for your aid and cooperation in this endeavour. Please rest assured that I mean my former student no harm.

Hatake Kakashi, Rokudaime Hokage”

“Well, this complicates matters…” Ei muttered. Then, he called out to his secretary. “Rei, we’re meeting with Naruto early. Make sure Team Samui is informed.”

“Yes, Raikage-Sama,” she replied.

----

Thirty minutes later, Naruto, his lovers, and a winded Team Samui stood in Ei’s office.

“Sorry for pulling you here so suddenly,” the Raikage said, “but, something came up that you might want to see - a message from the Hokage. Apparently, those people from this ‘Organization’ have requested his aid.”

Naruto frowned as he was handed the letter. Upon reading it, he sighed. “Can’t say I’m surprised, I was told by Team Samui they were heading to Konoha.”

“Obviously, I have no intention of helping him,” Ei said, “but, I’m going to need to know what the situation is.”

“The Organization are the ones creating the ‘youma’ in the first place. They have everyone, but us fooled. Through decades worth of misinformation, and deliberate isolation, they made the populace of the island they live on beleive there’s no other and beyond the sea. And within a few generations, the Organization set up and not long after the yoma appeared. When a youma’s killed, they use its flesh and blood to create warriors like these ladies here - hybrids, if you will. Then, the hybrids are sent out to exterminate the yomas. If a town can’t pay for their services, it’s secretly wiped off the map with an army of monsters.” Naruto said with his girls concurring with his statement.

Ei frowned. “I see… I figured you had a good reason to get in their way.”

Naruto crossed his arms and scowled. “Considering they’re similar to Akatsuki, can you blame me? They’re both directly and indirectly responsible for everything that’s happening over there. Hell, all their warriors, prior to becoming what they are, is a direct result of their misdeeds. From what we discovered, after I infiltrated their headquarters, the yoma is a parasite made from from another race they are at war with called ‘Asarakam’, though I never saw these ‘Asarakam’ with my own eyes.”

“I never saw them either, but, from what I read of the reports Naruto got from the Organization, these Asarakam can awaken as well. From what I can guess, it is a similar process to what happens to us when we go over our limit.” Miria added.

Naruto nodded concurringly and continued where he left off. “These parasites they made infect humans they kidnapped, making them into cannibalistic, shape-shifting monsters and they let them loose on the continent. And when a girl is orphaned, the Organization picks them up, taking advantage of their emotions, before turning them into warriors who think they’re doing the right thing and that all the shit they go through is necessary for the survival of others on the continent. To make matters worse, if they lose control of the power they gain from this conversion, they become innard-eating monsters, themselves… no offense, Riful.”

“None taken, honey,” said loli replied with a reassuring smile. “I’ve been called worse.”

Ei frowned, again and Karui shifted uncomfortably. So that brat was one of these warriors who turned, then?

As if reading their minds, Riful confirmed their suspicions with a polite, but somehow frightening grin. “Yes, I am a ‘monster’, an Awakened Being as we’re called there. What you see is the human form I… would have had, were I never converted in the first place. Also, yes, I eat people, but Naruto-Sama’s made sure I only eat the innards of bandits and the like.” She then gave the Raikage a polite curtsey. “I am Riful of the West, by the way. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Raikage-Sama. Your support of my husband is very much appreciated.”

“Oh, and Isobu and Kurama say her yoki - that’s their version of chakra - is beyond Kage level. And she can make herself stronger too.” Naruto added cheerfully. “As long as she’s with me, you have nothing to worry about, as far as my safety’s concerned. She’s very protective.”

Ei didn’t know what to do… other than return Riful’s curtsey with a nod. Naruto ruffled her hair and the loli beamed up at him.

“Do you have any… other... Awakened Beings allied with you?” the Raikage asked.

“Three more,” Naruto said. Then he paused, blinking. “Uh… now that I think about it, technically three and a half? Alicia, here, is able to perform a controlled awakening to enhance her combat abilities. She doesn’t eat people, though.” Then, he crossed his arms, humming thoughtfully. “Speaking of diet, I was wondering if I could help Riful and the other three out, somehow… find some kind of cure or maybe twist Orochimaru’s arm into growing artificial guts for them. I dunno...”

“Orochimaru?” Ei asked. “Are you sure? There has to be a better option than him of all people.”

Naruto shrugged. “I’m not sure, but it’s an option. I honestly hope there’s a better one, but if they can’t be cured, I’ll keep on loving them all the same.”

Riful smiled lovingly. “You’d better,” she teased. She got a chuckle and a pat on the head for that.

“Anyway, you need to figure out a way to get a message to Kakashi and let him know what I just told you.” Naruto said. “I’d also like to see if I can mootch an instructor or two off of you. As it turns out, the girls can use chakra as well as yoki, and I’m a piss-poor teacher in comparison to an actual professional.”

“Really?” Miria looked at him in disbelief. “I think you’ve been teaching us very well. A lot of us already have wall walking fully mastered, and are in the process of getting some elemental techniques down.”

“True,” Naruto chuckled. “But that’s only because you’re good at figuring out for yourselves what I can’t get across. An actual instructor would speed up the process by quite a bit. And I want you all ready to fight the Organization when the time comes.” He gave her an appreciative smile. “Thanks for the reassurance, though. You have no idea how thankful I am to hear that.”

The blond’s attention was returned to the Raikage when Ei spoke. “I was actually planning on sending Team Samui back with you, if you needed any help,” he said. “They also have some experience in teaching at the academy and between the three of them they have some mastery over each of the five elements.”

Karui’s eyes lit up at that, though she tried to hide it. Meanwhile, Miria bit back a scowl upon hearing the suggestion that said hussy should return with them. Naruto felt the negativity rolling off her in waves, and held her hand, interlocking their fingers.

The former Number 6 turned beet red on contact. Unfortunately for her, one does not become Raikage by being unobservant.

“Is there a problem with that suggestion?” Ei asked.

Miria cleared her throat. “No, sir. I’m just…”

“Jealous.” Riful finished for her, “Miria is just jealous of Karui over…”

“Something I’m sure they’d rather keep private,” Naruto chuckled, interrupting the loli.

“Killjoy.” Riful mock-whined, playfully sticking her tongue out at her husband.

Upon seeing a beet red Karui, Ei chuckled. “Noted.” He’d gotten into all sorts of trouble at her age, so this was nothing new to him. Naruto was still a hot-blooded teenager, and Karui was still single, despite her best efforts - mostly due to her own hotheadedness.

“Their help would certainly be appreciated,” Naruto said as he respectfully bowed. “Will that be all, Raikage-Sama?”

“Yes, that will be all.” the muscular man replied. Then he added, “If your… entourage wants to have a look around, they’re welcome to do so. I’m sure Bee would appreciate it if you came by for a visit, too.”

“I was planning to.” then he looked to Miria and the other women in his group. “You wanna go have a wander by yourselves? You can go and buy some things with the ryo I took out for you.”

“Having a look around this new place sound exciting!” Cynthia gushed. “I want to see what they have to offer here!”

“I too would like to look around and buy some things.” Flora concurred as she looked at Veronica’s second-in-command with an amused smile.

“I also want to see what this place has to offer.” Eliza said; this was the first time she had ever been in another place, on another continent altogether, and the amount of technological marvel is just staggering. There’s bound to be some interesting stuff. Maybe she’ll find some outfits that are downright kinky, too~! She just had to explore!

Alicia and Beth wordlessly clung onto Naruto. They weren’t going anywhere, though that came as no surprise. Riful giggled at them before saying “I’m curious to meet one of my husband’s mentors, actually.”

“As am I,” Miria concurred. “I may do some exploring later, though.”

“Team Samui, you serve as escorts to those three women,” Ei ordered. “Make sure they don’t get lost.”

Samui and her squadmates nodded in compliance.

“I think I’ll stick around for about a day or so,” Naruto said. “Maybe two. Then, I’ll be heading back. I’m sure the others miss me… a lot.”

The Raikage nodded. “Feel free to stay as long as you like,” he said. “I’m sure many of our villagers would love your company.”

“Thank you, Raikage-Sama,” Naruto said with a smile and a bow. With that, he took his leave.

As Naruto, his entourage and Team Samui left the office Ei let out a sigh. Then he grabbed a clear sheet of paper and got to writing. Kakashi Hatake may have the best intentions in mind, but he was going to refuse the call to aid… while informing him of the Organization’s treachery.

----

It didn’t take long for Naruto to find Bee’s place. You just couldn’t miss it - a little hovel atop a peat to the northwest of the village with a massive staircase leading up to it.

“My feet are killing meee…” Riful whined as she started trailing behind the group. Damn these short legs... “What kind of madman plops his house on a mountain like this?! You have no idea how tempted I am to just transform and be done with it.”

“You’d give the whole village a heart attack,” Miria pointed out.

The pair of anbu following them didn’t like the sound of that.

“Why do you think I have yet to just say fuck it and transform?” Riful asked incredulously. “I may look like a child, but I’m not naive.”

Naruto sighed with a tired but amused chuckle. Then, he kneeled in front of his first lover and said, “hop on.”

Riful blinked before giggling. “You’re too kind, Naruto-Sama~!” She glomped her man from behind and let him pick her up to give his eldest wife a piggyback ride.

The twins scowled jealously, but carried on. They’d get their Naruto-time soon enough. As for the blond in question, he couldn’t help but sigh and shake his head with an amused smile; those girls were so spoiled, but he can’t help but to spoil them. After what they were put through for years by those bastards in the Organization they deserved to be spoiled.

Still, Naruto made sure to pay them extra attention when they get back to their hotel. His girls are going to need a good dicking again. There was also that date with Karui… so much to do. He hoped it didn’t take too long. He hoped the girls back in the castle were doing well.

He looked up to see how far they had to go and noted that they were almost there. And now that he was getting closer and closer, he could feel the chakra he got from Matatabi and Gyuki resonate within him.

Naruto came to a stop and cupped his hands around his mouth. “Oi, Bee!” he called out, his voice echoed across the skies.

Miria, Riful and Alicia and Beth all jumped with startled looks on their faces and they looked at him with wide eyes.

Then they heard a deep, booming voice coming from behind the hovel. “Is that Number nine I hear, talking to me all the way out here?” then everyone excluding the ANBU escort and Naruto himself were startled when a massive Ushi-oni, with four long horns similar to a Jacob sheep rose up behind the hovel to titanic proportions.

“Yup,” Naruto chuckled, as he allowed Riful to drop down. “Been awhile, hasn’t it?”

“It has been a while, your lack of talk has been cramping my style.” Killer B, in his tailed beast form rhymed, and it was a poor rhyme. “Give ol’ Lord Jinchuuriki, the fist bump of greets, you magnificent beast.”

The titan sized Bee in the form of Gyuki leaned forward and held his fist out in front of him expectantly. With a wide grin, and a cheerful laugh Naruto bumped fists with him and the titanic sized Ushi-oni cheered, pulling his fist back and raising them above his head.

Meanwhile, on the sidelines, Riful scowled. This creature before her was powerful… too powerful for her liking. She hated it when someone else was more powerful than her, even if not by much. Naruto was the only exception, of course. Though what put off that sheer power was the way he was talking… and acting.

It was so damn weird.

Naruto sensed his wife’s jealousy and gave Riful a pat on the head.

She sighed, taking comfort in the fact that his training would make her stronger than Bee eventually. The power ceiling she’d reached all those years ago was not the end, after all, and now, she’s discovered a whole new world of possibilities, thanks to the blond. Who knows? Maybe she could even rival Naruto, himself, one day? It was a nice thought, if nothing else. Riful leaned into her husband’s hand, significantly calming down.

“So who are the lovelies standin’ by your side, number nine?”

Naruto grinned proudly. “They’re a few members of the newly-repopulating Uzumaki Clan,” he said. “As you can see, I’ve been pretty busy over the past year or so.”

“Truely? I am honoured to see your clan rising above the ashes. Little weird looking though.” he was obviously talking about the way Alicia, Beth and Miria looked; no one had eyes that shade of colour, or hair that pale. “Never seen eyes like those before.”

“You didn’t rhyme!” Naruto yelled out in shock.

“A person may rhyme once in a day, but the creative flows never quiver.” Killer B said, to the confusion of the three hybrids, and one Abyssal One. “Gotta make-a rhyme, ta’ flow like-a breeze.”

“...wat?” Miria just asked, in a flat, bewildered tone.

“Bee I think you’re confusing them.” Naruto said with a chuckle.

“If they can’t handle the flows of my blows, they should step aside and let us rhyme.” Then he let out a laugh, “But, I think I can curb my sick raps for you and your ladies.” then the Tailed Beast began to shrink down, until it was no longer seen behind the hovel.

Not a moment later the man himself leapt up and over the hovel and landed in front of it, allowing Miria, Riful and the twins to see the man as a human.

Riful raised an eyebrow. This man was huge. He honestly looked as powerful as he was. What made her uneasy was not his presence, though, but rather the the bound up… paddle-looking thing on his back. Something about it irked her.

“You still have Samahada?” Naruto asked in surprise. “It must really like your chakra.”

Bee chuckled. “You bet your ass I do! Little guy’s practically glued to my back.” he grabbed Samehada by the hilt and brought it out to flaunt his sword. “He and I have been bonding ever since I got him.”

“Naruto, what is that… thing?” Miria asked.

“Remember the swordsman who had a sword that could negate my chakra and yoki? That was his sword. Killer B owns it now.”

“That does not look like a sword,” Riful pointed out.

“Neither did a lot of the swords wielded by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen,” Naruto said with a chuckle. “Hell I hear one of them wielded a giant toilet paper roll. But, this one here’s still deadly as all hell. It literally eats chakra and yoki while shaving your face off.”

Miria and Riful gave him a skeptical look. “I don’t believe you.” the former said, while the latter was a bit wary.

Naruto smiled knowingly and gave his fellow Jinchuuriki an expectant look. “Think you can give them a demonstration? I think a good old spar is in order.”

“It’s been awhile since ol’ Killer B got to cut loose. I know the perfect place to unleash our... hmm…” suddenly Bee whipped out a notebook and started writing in it. “Unleash our... space? No. Face? No. might? Good enough.” then he closed his notebook and put it and his pen away. “C’mon! Let’s go spar like the days of old, yahoo!”

“Alright.” Naruto agreed with a chuckle; then he looked to his women and said, “Whatever you four do, don’t interfere. This is just a demonstration, after all, but it gonna get… spectacular.”

“You mind if I join in?” Riful asked. “I’d like to flex my muscles and see for myself what that paddle is really capable of.”

Naruto thought about of for a second. “Hmm… you know what? I don’t see why not.” if nothing else, it’ll give her some combat experience against a shinobi. A Jinchuuriki one at that. “What about you Miria? Alicia, Beth? Want to join in too?”

The twins exchanged a glance and shrugged. Miria, however, declined. “It’s easier to examine from the sidelines,” she said. “Thanks for the offer, though.”

Naruto smiled, smart woman, “Alright.” he turned to Killer B, “Lead the way,”

Bee chuckled and nodded. “Alright, follow me.”

Ten minutes later, Bee led Naruto, Riful, Miria and Alicia and Beth to a clearing behind his hovel. Which incidentally was big enough to hide behind, even as a tailed beast. Miria was off to the side, flanked by the anbu and observing the fight to come, while the other five were in the middle, with Naruto, the twins and Riful facing Killer B.

“Obviously, this is just a casual spar,” Naruto said, to his women. “Don’t be afraid to flex your muscles, though Killer B’s nearly as strong as me.”

Riful smirked while the twins nodded.

Naruto smiled, before turning his gaze to Bee and taking a stance. “Whenever you’re ready, Octo-Pops.”

Killer B chuckled and whipped out his six swords. As the weapons fell, he grabbed one in his mouth, one behind each elbow, one in the crook of his neck, one behind the knee, and stood one one foot, pinching the last sword between his leg and hip. “Let’s test the waters, eh?”

The girls were taken aback by the odd stance. They’d never seen anything like it.

“Very interesting…” Riful mused aloud. “I suppose it would be wise to assume the worst, then?” She smirked playfully, shedding her sundress to Bee’s surprise, before splitting into a mass of ribbons.

“Bee, I hope you realise that creature is not human?” Killer B heard the voice of Gyuki in his head ask him.

“Human or not, she’ll go down fast like a kite. If that form needs energy Samehada will eat it, fool ya fool!”

“What did Kurama’s host get up to while he was gone?”

Meanwhile the anbu on the sidelines nearly shat themselves as they found themselves staring into the abyss, the sea of power that was Riful of the West. Her demonic giggle would haunt their nightmares for years to come, as the ribbons melded into the guise of a womanly figure with empty, glowing eye sockets.

Alicia and Beth drew their swords. Rather than going all out from the get go, they opted to see what, exactly, this man was capable of.

Naruto wolf whistled as he took in his first wife’s awakened form. “I’ve gotta say I love that form, Riful!”

The Abyssal One giggled, once more, her voice deeper, more mature, and bearing a metallic tinge. “Oh, you flatterer~!” she girlishly waved him off with a grin.

“A demonic kaiju girl, that ain’t a pain, Samehada will come in handy, here. Betchya can’t fight when you’re drained, oh yeah!” Killer B rapped flamboyantly, then the bandages around said sword came off automatically as the sword itself plopped off his back and to the ground beside him; the three hybrids and Abyssal One all saw what was underneath the bandages for the first time and they were surprised and disturbed.

The actual blade is made up of a series of downward-facing scales, running along the entirety of its length until its hilt - the pommel of which being a small skull. At the front is a mouth with sharp, dagger-like teeth that is chomping hungrily at the air around it. It could taste the new type of energy in the air… and it was yummy. Samehada gurgled and drooled ravenously, leaving the demonic woman legitimately creeped the fuck out for the first time in centuries.

Riful frowned. She wasn’t touching that thing… at all. It’ll be best to keep herself at a distance from it. Less she find out how it goes about absorbing yoki. And something tells her it won’t be a pleasant experience.

As for Alicia and Beth… they were put off by Samehada’s appearance. It was unlike anything they had ever seen before. Still, they trusted Naruto; he said they weren’t going all out, that this was just a spar… that thing was creepy, but if he assured them it was safe, they’d trust him.

Naruto started things off, taking out a pair of kunais from out of nowhere and leaping into the fray. Bee cheered and met him halfway, flipping about like a madman. Because of the way he held his swords, Killer B was like a buzzsaw, and he was completely unpredictable. Naruto was forced to backtrack and deflect, weave and dodge the blades as Killer B came at him from seemingly all angles.

Riful frowned, but launched a few ribbons at Bee to put him on his back foot. Those ribbons got shredded the second they came in contact with him. His spinning and flipping about, had allowed his swords to shred the ribbons like they were paper. The abyssal one visibly jumped, taken aback by these small blades’ ability to cut her. She looked closely and noticed he had coated them in chakra… lightning chakra? It certainly fit the description she’d overheard him giving to Yuma.

When Samehada leapt at her extended ribbons, Riful flinched, hastily withdrawing them. Alicia and Beth leapt to intercept it, their claymores drawn out of their scabbards; they were taken aback when it suddenly turned to face them. Samehada hissed in discomfort when its scales collided with the sharp edge of their blades, bouncing back, before flipping forward and shaking its… head?

The twins exchanged looks before they decided to put Naruto’s theory to the test. Their silver eyes changed to demonic, gold with feline-like pupils as they brought up 10% of their yoki. Samehada gurgled and drooled again, as it smelt the tasty smelling energy again; this time it was coming from the strange human women in front of him.

With enthusiasm at getting a taste of their odd, but tasty energy Samehada did something that took the twins by complete surprise. It stretched itself towards them, with his scales lengthening and hardening to give it better protection against their own swords.

“Wha- agh!” Alicia yelped in pain when she felt the scales when it lengthened even more, lightly cut her right arm, and the armlet. She also felt a large chunk of her yoki disappearing as it retreated, gurgling happily at catching a meal.

Riful clicked her tongue in irritation and yanked the twins away from that… thing. Both yelped in surprise as they felt her ribbons wrap around their waists, before flying back. She felt Alicia’s yoki abruptly disappearing when that thing managed to get her. Seems their man wasn’t lying when he said that sword eats their yoki.

Naruto back flipped and threw his kunai at Killer B as he leapt back into the air. The dark skinned man deflected them both, and flipped and leapt after him like a madman. The blond took out two more kunai and enveloped them with wind chakra, then he deflected what he could and dodged and weaved through what he could not. His unpredictable angles and the overall wildness of his attacks and moves made that difficult. No wonder Sasuke had so much trouble with him!

But he was having so much fun. Naruto briefly looked towards his girls, and saw they were having trouble with Samehada; now that they know it can eat their yoki, and thereby making their yoki related abilities useless, they were doing everything they could to avoid it. He wasn’t surprised, that sword is fucking scary even when it’s fighting alone.

He made a few clones and they ran over there to help them out. Even he had trouble with that fucking sword, and only Killer B’s the only one it likes enough to be touched.

Bee chuckled, seeing what Naruto was up to and sent a few of his swords at the clones. They were easily dodged, but then the dark skinned swordsman flipped over his opponent and picked the blades back up, only to toss them again, constantly harassing the clones along the way.

Riful giggled, burying her ribbons into the ground, stretching them out, and sending them upwards to take a few jabs at Bee. The Eight Tails Jinchuriki backflipped mere seconds before they shot out of the ground beneath his feet, and slashed at them with his lightning enhanced swords. The Abyssal One hastily withdrew them; she was so not eager to feel her own body - even if it's a short part of it - getting cut off. She can just regrow them, sure, but having parts of her body lopped off is still a bitch.

Thankfully, her diversion was enough for the clones to join them while Naruto engaged with Bee, once more.

“You’ve gotten slow number nine, and that ain’t fine, but you’re still keeping with me so I can’t agree with my earlier assessment.” Killer B rapped and Naruto couldn’t help but agree with him; he did get slower; no one was up to standard to the way everyone else here fought. Outside of swordsmanship they were sorely lacking but he was trying to close that, and give them more variety.

And with Team Samui coming back to help him out that will make their training a hell of a lot easier. Not to mention it will give him more free time to dote on his girls and children. And to try and make contact with the newer generation the Organization is going to be sending out, and hopefully establish friendly relations with them. Though he won’t be surprised if those fuckers in black warn them about him.

With that thought in mind and a grin, Naruto leapt forth and just barely managed to tap Bee on the shoulder. That was enough. A small line of seals appeared where he made contact and Naruto vanished from Bee’s field of vision, reappearing behind him with the tip of a kunai pressed against the back of his neck.

Bee froze, then he let out a chuckle and said. “...This reminds me of the time the Yondaime Hokage held me hostage in the Third Great War.”

“Do you concede?” Naruto knew the answer anyway but he had to ask for curtsey sake.

“I concede.” Bee told him. No matter where he would go Naruto would just reappear behind him again. With that seal on his shoulder, he would have nowhere to go and nowhere to hide. Really, conceding to him is the smart choice.

Then Naruto pulled his kunai away and set it aside. There they turned to the twins and the transformed Riful. Bee whistled and Samehada gurgled, flipping around to face him before cartoonishly hopping back to his side. The dark-skinned Jinchuuriki chuckled, patting his sword on the head… it was honestly odd, and bewildering to look at.

“...that was honestly scary.” Miria said once the fight was officially over. She was staring at Samehada with wary eyes; like Riful, she too felt Alicia’s yoki go missing when its scales touched her.

“Samehada is scary.” Naruto concurred. “It can eat chakra and as you saw, it can eat yoki. Not to mention he’s really picky on who it picks to be his wielder.” then he looked to Killer B and asked, “You wanna catch up with each other?”

As he asked, Riful had transformed back into her human form and got herself dressed. Alicia and Beth walked to Naruto, who took the former by her wrist and healed the wound Samehada managed to give her. The instant that was done, the twins both clung onto him, eliciting a chuckle from the blond.

“Sure, Number 9, it’ll be fine. Come back to my crib, it’ll be chill.”

Naruto nodded and waited for Killer B to put the wrappings around Samehada, then he led the group to his hovel, with Alicia and Beth taking an arm for themselves - Riful and Miria following closely. His conversation with Bee is going to be quite interesting, to say the least.
