Back in Uzushio, Naruto and his daughters stood before a large seal array, marveling at its sheer size. It stretched as far as the eye could see in either direction, absolutely dwarfing any other they’d seen before. Careful not to get too close, they took a closer look and then Naruto dropped to one knee. He performed a basic scan and was immediately assaulted with a strange tingling sensation. A loud hum blurred out everything else for a moment and then it faded. The seal flashed white in an instant, before returning to normal, as if nothing had happened.

“Daddy, are you okay?” Harja looked at him with concern. She saw him stagger a bit upon scanning the seal and immediately panicked, assuming that the boobytrap function had been triggered. That flash didn’t help matters in the slightest.

“I’m fine, honey,” Naruto assured. “It was just scanning me.”

He was lucky that the seal didn't sense him with any negative intent. It would have stopped his heart on the spot otherwise. But, he and his girls were fortunately here for completely innocent reasons, so they had nothing to worry about, so long as they were careful not to trigger any… less discriminate seals by accident.

Once he was finished being scanned the second layer of the seal powered down. Turning to his daughters, he addressed them. “Alright, girls, line up,” he said, “Time for a bit of a crash course in advanced Fuinjutsu.”

Harja, Susan and Hana all looked at him with expectant eyes as they did just that.

Naruto smiled and nodded, standing up and pacing in a manner similar to a drill instructor. “Alright, as I’ve said before, this seal will scan your intentions when you try to unlock it. Don’t panic, it won’t hurt you. I will show you the steps in doing so and the three of you three will be the ones to carry it out as Daddy’s first official lesson in the sealing arts. Understood?”

“Okay Daddy!” Hana, Susan, and Harja all said at the same time. The girls were very eager to have their first lesson in advanged fuinjutsu and Harja, being the eldest of the three daughters, stepped forward first as she wanted to lead by example.

Naruto smiled at her, ruffling the girl’s hair. “Alright,” he said, “Let’s start from the beginning.”

Back in Morris, one hour later, Clarice sat on one of the hospital beds as Shizune gave her a checkup. Sakura was tending to Sarada at the moment and Tsunade was passed out in the corner. There was plenty of sake bottles on the desk, which explained why Tsunade was passed out in the corner. Then again this may have been Tsunade on her break.

To be fair, she needed one.

Miata, meanwhile stared oddly at the glowing hands on her Mama, curious as to how the technique Shizune was using worked.

“Looks like the little guy’s doing just fine,” the medic chirped. “It shouldn’t be long before you come to term. I’d say just shy of a month, now… give or take a week or so. You can never tell with this kind of thing,” Shizune chuckled tiredly. “In short the baby will pop out when he says he’s ready.”

Clarice giggled at that. Not long ago, Tsunade had informed her that she’d have a son.

Miata’s eyes looked at Clarice’s tummy with wide eyed curiosity. “I have a brother, mama, papa?” she asked.

“Yes you do,” Naruto replied with a grin. Then he reached out for her as he added, “If you’re worried that we’ll ignore you, then you have nothing to worry about. We will still love you, honey.”

Miata leaned into his hand and let the clone ruffle her hair with a giggle, before looking at Clarice’s swollen belly once more. She placed a hand on it and gasped in surprise when she felt the baby kick. She pulled her hand away from Clarice’s tummy out of sheer reflex and looked between her hand and Clarice’s belly in perplexment.

“You felt it, didn't you,” Clarice said, giggling at the surprised look on the girl’s face. “That was your little brother.”

“Does it feel weird when he moves around like that?” Miata asked, an adorable, childish curiosity in her silver eyes.

“Yes. It does feel weird. In a good sort of way.” Clarice said with a loving smile and she put Miata’s hand back on her swollen belly, and put her hand on top of it. “He doesn’t do it often though. Sometimes, it’s not pleasant, because he kicks my stomach or something, but that can’t be helped.”

“How come?” Miawa pouted in concern upon hearing that.

“He’s still in Mama’s tummy,” Clarice replied with a giggle, ruffling Miata’s hair “He’s not old enough to know it hurts and there isn’t a whole lot of room to move around in there.”

“Not to mention he doesn’t know any better.” Naruto added with a smile. “Everyone was like that at one point or other. Even you, Miata.”

“You too?”

“Yes,” Naruto grinned at her, “even me. Especially me, now that I think back on it.”

“Oh, you’re just being hard on yourself, honey,” Clarice giggled.

Naruto shrugged. “Maybe, but I was a bit of a brat when I was younger. Granted I never had any parents growing up, but now that I look back, I was a brat - I mainly did it to get attention, any type of attention.”

“Well, now you can have all the attention you could possibly want,” Clarice giggled lewdly, the innuendo flying right over Miata’s head as the brunette gave Naruto a peck on the cheek. Naruto chuckled at that and returned her affectionate kiss with one of his own. Then he snuggled up against her and offered Miata to snuggle up beside him on the bed, with Clarice. Miata’s expression brightened considerably and she plopped down beside her papa and snuggled up against him with a small, but happy smile.

Blazing through the hand seals Daddy taught them, Harja, Hana, and Susan slammed their hands down on the parts of the seal that he pointed out to them. They were immediately assaulted with a strange tingling sensation as a loud hum blurred out everything else for a moment and then it faded. The seal flashed white in an instant, before returning to normal, as if nothing had happened.

They were worried for a moment, but then, the seal started to move. That caught the girls by surprise. When it stopped moving and its configuration completely changed, it flashed again before returning to normal.

Naruto flashed through his own set of hand seals to scan it and if flashed again, automatically checking his intentions, but left him alone. “Measure twice, cut once, as the old saying goes…” He let out a chuckle before turning to his kids and giving them a thumbs up. “Good job, you three!”

Hana, Susan, and Harja all beamed at him as they practically oozed joy at being praised, drawing a chuckle from their father.

“Alright,” he.said, creating a few clones to sout ahead. “Now that we have this seal outta the way, we can see what lies beyond it.

“What about Mommy and the others?” Hana asked.

“It’s been shut down for good. It won’t hurt them,” Naruto informed. “They’ll be safe getting past it, but I wanna make sure there’s nothing particularly nasty waiting for them in the inner village.”

“That makes sense,” Susan commented with an accepting nod.

“Oh!” Naruto perked up, upon receiving the memories of a clone. “There’s a relatively intact building not too far from here,” he pointed out. We can camp out in there after we’ve cleaned it up. Follow me.”

With that, Naruto, Hana, Susan, and Harja all made their way to the building in question. But not before Naruto made a shadow clone to get the other women to follow after them.

It was a fairly big building; a story building with a tower, and like the memory of his clone showed it was relatively intact. This would be a good base of operations for when they’re exploring the island.

----

Meanwhile, back in morris, someone was not having quite as good a day. After passing Sarada on over to Sasuke, Sakura decided she needed to ask Naruto something, but couldn’t find a clone. So she decided to check the Don Jon, remembering that it was his bedroom and the highest room in the castle. So, that seemed like that was a good place to start.

Unfortunately, she found one…

As soon as Sakura opened the door, she regretted everything. On the bed, held up by her wrists, Sylvia was being pounded within an inch of her life from behind. She gurgled pathetically as the doppelganger's massive, throbbing dick rammed the entrance to her womb. The clone stood behind her, letting the young woman lean against the edge of his bed as he had his way with her.

Sakura was behind them and the poor pinkette couldn’t look away. The mating couple hadn’t noticed her entry and thus, she had a front row seat to the Dead Last of the Academy thrusting one more time with a grunt blowing his load inside the trainee. Sakura’s eyes were glued to the contracting nutsack emptying itself inside Sylvia’s raw cunt. They just didn’t stop! For what felt like an eternity, those damn things kept twitching, Sylvia’s gasps signaling that she’d received yet another glob of baby batter… and another… and another! How much was he going to pump into this girl?!

Her answer came in the form of Naruto finally stopping and withdrawing with another grunt of exertion. As he did, what looked like a damn pint of semen started leaking out and forming a massive puddle on the hardwood floor.

“Fuuuuck, your cunts tight!” the clone groaned. “You just wouldn’t let go of me!”

Poor Sylvia gurgled pathetically, now completely limp as she drifted off into unconsciousness.

Naruto chuckled warmly at that, reaching over and folding the blanket over to cover her up, only to feel the eyes on him and turned to see Sakura, her gaze now glued to his still-hard member.

And then, she fainted…

As the pinkette it the ground with a thud from sheer embarrassment and her brain’s inability to process the shocking sight, Naruto sighed. “Well… shit.”

Well… at least she didn't try to punch the living shit out of him. She’s improving!

----

Sakura groaned as she returned to the land of the living some time later. What the hell just happened? Was she in a bed? The pinkette yelped and bolted upright, frantically looking around. She… was in her room, now. Sasuke was leaning against the wall; Sarada was snoozing happily in her crib; Cynthia was there as well, looking concerned as she insisted on being sent back to make sure everything was okay when her hubby informed him what happened; and a sheepish-looking, fully-clothed Naruto was standing behind the blonde.

“Oh, thank the gods,” Naruto sighed. “I was beginning to wonder if you’d hurt yourself.”

“To be fair, she would have deserved it.” Sasuke casually pointed out. “She did walk into your room without knocking after all.”

Poor Sakura turned beet red at that, thoroughly embarrassed. “S-sorry…”

“Eh, no harm, no foul,” Naruto shrugged. “So I take it you needed something?”

“I… don’t remember,” Sakura muttered timidly. The utter shock she’d endured made her mind... go completely blank.

“It’ll come to you sooner or later…” Cynthia assured. “Just make sure you knock first if you’re looking for a clone. They tend to be… busy. That’s what happens when a man has a harem.”

“Duly noted,” Sasuke chimed in, before addressing his wife. “You were going to ask about what Naruto was about this ‘Mainland’.”

“Y-yeah! That’s right!” Sakura realized. “We’re here because you are trying to ward off the Mainland from returning. Are you actually planning to head on over there, though?”

“I’d head over there, only if I am provoked,” Naruto replied with a shrug. “They leave this continent alone, then we’ll leave them alone. There’s already a war raging over there that’s been going on for centuries it seems. I doubt they’d want another party in the mix, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. The Organization that was on this continent was cleary packing some psychos in their roster, so it wouldn’t be unreasonable to assume that their actual leader is worse.”

“Naruto did give a spy who’s working for the people fighting the Organization a warning.” Cynthia added, “Basically, the warning was: provoke us and we will destroy you and your enemy.”

The blond in question nodded at that and he crossed his arms. “I don’t want to get involved in their petty war. And I think we can all agree that getting dragged into a war is not in our best interests.”

They agreed wholeheartedly with him on that one. No one from the Elemental Nations wanted to get themselves involved in another war. One was enough. And the hybrids, Cynthia especially, were now used to living in peace and would like to keep it that way. They didn't fancy taking up their sword and risk their life to kill bandits anymore. Granted, there are some that needed to be taken care of but Naruto’s been cleaning house so outlaws setting up camp anywhere close to the Dragonspine mountains was becoming less and less likely.

Chronos and Soleil’s groups had also dealt with the remaining youma last week with Isley’s help, so they were not an issue, anymore. That massive horde was most of them, as it turned out, so the few-dozen or so stragglers were easily cleared up in about four days before they could cause any real harm, thanks to Naruto’s ‘pet dragon’ providing transportation. Maybe they can deal with the bandits, too? It would give them something to do, after all.

Filing those thoughts away for later, Cynthia addressed her hubby. “It’s not,” she agreed. Then her tone turned sickly-sweet as she continued. “But, if they are dumb enough to threaten my babies, I will have their heads on a platter by week’s end.”

“You and me both, honey,” Naruto chuckled ominously, hugging her from behind. “Nothing would be left of them if I ever got my hands on them.”

“Charming as that is,” Sakura chimed in nervously, “I’ll see what I can do to make sure it’s unnecessary.”

“Please and thank you~!” Naruto and Cynthia both chirped at the same time, with wide grins on their faces.

“That aside,” Sasuke said, “Any word on the group that went to Uzushio?”

“Naruto’s having our first born daughters help him with a few of the remaining seals still protecting the island,” Cynthia replied. “They’ve just set up camp in a relatively intact building. They should be done with clearing them out within the next couple of days or so.”

“After that,” Naruto added. “We can start the restoration. That should take a few weeks, seeing as how the a lotta buildings can still be restored. We still have yet to see the main compound, so that remains to be seen, but the maintenance seals in the village are still working, miraculously, so they’ve reduced the workload needed to patch a lot of it up.”

“Sounds like good news to me,” Cynthia chirped. “I’d better get back to the real Naruto now, seeing as how everything’s okay.”


The Naruto clone chuckled and gave her a peck on the lips, before producing a clone of his own. As Cynthia latched onto the new doppelganger, they were gone in a flash. Then, Naruto turned to Sasuke and Sakura before asking, “So, is there anything else you need?”

Sasuke shook his head, since he came a-running when he heard that Sakura’s fainted. Learning how that happened was both embarrassing and hilarious, but the Uchiha hid it well. Then he looked at his wife, Sakura, and she shook her head no as well. That was all she wanted to know really; what his next move was and all that. She was satisfied, though it was worth noting that she would have rather avoided the circumstances that played out before her questions were answered.

“Alright,” Naruto chirped, before turning to take his leave. “Have a good night, then, you two.” With that, he was off to check on Sylvia.

Fortunately, she was still happily snoozing away, so he tucked her in properly and gave her a kiss goodnight.

----

Back in Uzushio, the original Naruto and his group had just finished setting up camp and had rested up well enough. Needless to say, his daughters found what happened back home to be much more amusing than they should have, though they were at least polite enough to keep it to themselves.

While they were resting Naruto’s clones had scouted the area and then some and found all of the remaining seals, active and inactive, on Uzushio. As expected, there were hundreds of the damn things. Luckily less than a couple-dozen were still active. One of the seals they did find to be still on, however, was a perimeter seal around what appeared to be the main Uzumaki Compound. If he wasn’t mistaken, that was the location on one of Kakashi’s maps, but it was hard to tell from all the damage and overgrowth where everything was. He’d have to go there to be sure, but the place did appear to be what he’d assumed.

He’d have to check that out as soon as that perimeter seal is down. He’ll get a clone to do it if he’s too busy. In the meantime he had to sort out through the many memories of his clones he was receiving through their dispelling.

“So, what’s the plan, now, Daddy?” Harja asked, as she popped a squat next to him.

“What I came here to do: reclaim Uzushiogakure no Sato.” the blond replied with a shrug. “We’re well on our way towards doing that.” He ruffled her hair with a grin before continuing. “There’s another perimeter seal ahead of us, around what seems to be the main Uzumaki Clan compound. I’m gonna need you girls to help me, again. It looks like another multi-bloodlock, like the other one. It’s smaller, but more potent, though, so I’ll have to scan it for good measure, first.”

Harja grinned widely, she was looking forward to it. “When can we set off?” she asked him.

“Later. I’m still sorting through the memories of my clones.” Naruto answered her with a sigh. “I can’t let myself get too distracted, otherwise I might end up making a mistake.” Making the smallest mistake can have huge consequences - waiting until he gets these memories of his sorted out is the wisest thing he can do right now.

“Fair enough,” Harja chirped. Then she scooted on over to sit next to him, then she leaned against her father with a peaceful smile. “I look forward to seeing this place restored and coming to visit whenever I get the opportunity.”

“You’re not staying?” The blond asked, looking at his daughter from the corner of his eye in surprise.

“Mommy wants me to stick around Raby Castle and help unify the church of the Twins with that of Rabona,” Harja replied. “I’m also an acolyte of the Twins and need to complete my training, so I’ll be sticking around Morris for a few years before moving to Raby… unless we can have a chapel added to the latter.”

“I see.” Well, that left a bitter feeling in his chest, knowing that one of his kids wasn’t coming to stay. As much as he didn't want to part ways with her, he knew that day would come eventually. He didn't think it would be that soon.

Then again, Riful had voiced a desire to stay behind and ensure the clan had a second home to return to, just in case it was needed, and it made sense that she’d want to have her kids with her. They are just as much her babies as his, after all.

Harja could sense that her daddy was feeling a bit down about that, so she decided to let him know a little secret. “Y’know, I wanted to keep this a surprise, but I’ve been studying the Hiraishin,” she said. “I’m a long way from actually figuring it out, but when I do, I’m gonna be able to visit anytime you want~!”

Naruto smiled widely at that as he felt pride welling up from inside of him. Well that, and he was glad that Harja was studying his father’s -and in turn, the Second Hokage’s - technique. Not only would she be a monster on the battlefield, but she would be able to go and see him anytime she wants.

“Well, that’s good to know.” he said with a wide grin and Harja giggled when she felt his hand ruffle her hair. “It’s nice to hear that you’re not going to up and abandon me,”

“I would never abandon you,” The half-awakened promised.

“Good. I’ll hold you to that,” he told her. Then Naruto stretched and asked, “So, I’m pretty sure you’re eager to learn more about Fuinjutsu; you still got your ink, scrolls and brushes on you right?”

Harja perked up at that and she looked up at him with an excited glint in her eyes, “Yep, yep! I still do! I want to learn more!” she answered with a lot of enthusiasm. She wanted to learn the branch of ninjutsu that made the original Uzumaki Clan so feared after all, and fuinjutsu was integrated into the family.

“Very good. You’re going to need that enthusiasm. It took me two-and-a-half-years to become a journeyman level fuinjutsu user, and another year-and-a-half to become a fuinjutsu master.”

“How many ranks in fuinjutsu are there?” Harja asked, she was a little curious about this.

Naruto frowned thoughtfully as he thought back on what Jiraiya had told him all those years ago. “There’s three: Apprentice, Journeyman, and Master.” the blond started as he looked down at his eldest daughter, “Right now, you, Hana, and Susan are at the Apprentice rank. And you have a long way to go to reach the Master rank. The seals here in Uzushio, were made by the best Fuinjutsu users in history and I would never let you three go anywhere near them… but you’re also the only ones here that have Uzumaki blood in them so exceptions had to be made.” Then he smiled and said conclusively, “But I didn't mind it to be honest; you got to learn something and see how a master level Fuinjutsu worked - so you learned a couple of things.”

Harja beamed at that. She was glad to help. It honestly felt good to be able to help her Daddy.

It didn’t take long for her to whip out her sealing kit, and then she gave Naruto an expectant look. “So what do you want me to try and make this time?” she asked. “Another sealing formula?”

Naruto shook his head. “No. Doing the same tag over and over again can get dull. So I’m going to have you do something different from that: an exploding tag.”

“An exploding tag?” Colour her curious, she’s never seen an exploding tag before, she didn’t even know such a thing existed!

This was understandable, since Naruto never used any other types of seals than the ones he already showed. The Hiraishin, the simulation, teleportation, the barriers, privacy seals, and storage seals were the only ones he really ever used.

“Yep. An exploding tag. It’s a little hard to put it into words, but, what it does is make things go boom.”

“...Boom?” the deadpan was strong in this one.

“Let’s put it this way, then,” Naruto chuckled. “You know how a keg of alcohol likes to explode when you light it on fire?”

“No. Because I’m not that mad.” Harja deadpanned.

“Okay… then another example; you know how I Kurama and Uncle Isobu blew up the Organization?”

“Yeah….?” Who doesn’t know about that? Her aunties wouldn’t shut up about it ever since it happened! And they described it in vivid detail too!

“Think of an exploding tag as a lesser version of that.” Naruto explained. “It works very differently from Bijuudama, but the end result is the same. The explosion is much smaller, mind you; it’s big enough to destroy a wagon, but it’s still deadly, needless to say. They can kill entire platoons of soldiers, be used to engineer landslides, or even level a castle, if you have enough and know where to place them.”

Though he did see a couple of shinobi use a more ‘safe’ version of an exploding tag. It’s used to briefly blind, deafen and disorientate people though. It was like a… flash bang… or something like that. And there are more lethal versions of it too, granted he never saw them in use, but Kumo was known to have used a more deadlier version of exploding tags where one of them managed to make a big enough explosion to kill well over fifty Konoha-nin during the Third Shinobi World War.

They were never used again though… mainly because his dad took out the demolition squads single handedly and destroyed the tags themselves enmass whenever they were used. It’s a shame too… they would have been extremely useful in the Fourth Shinobi World War.

It can’t be too hard to recreate it, though; most ‘innovations’ to already existing fuinjutsu were made through experimentation and trial and error.

...And he likes to experiment and create new techniques. Maybe a few dedicated clones would get the job done?

Naruto chuckled as he saw Harja’s eyes sparkle, quite literally at that. He ruffled her hair and said, “We’re going to start things simple: all I want to see you do is make a small puff of smoke when it’s used.”

And just like that the Riful lookalike deflated. “A small puff?”

“Yes, a small puff…” he replied with a nod, then Naruto gave her a really flat look as he added, “that way any mistakes you make won’t end up blowing in your face and accidentally take off your arms… or, y’know, kill the child you’re carrying.”

“Ohhhhhhhh…” Harja said in realization; right, she’s pregnant with Daddy’s child… she forgot to consider that. “Good call.”

“You’re smart, but tend to look over things… kinda like me.” Naruto praised. “Let’s get started, eh?”

“Okay!” And with that, an enthusiastic Harja got the ink, paper tag, and brush ready, listening to Naruto’s instructions as he guided her on how to make the exploding tag.

----

Meanwhile, back in Morris’s simulation, within the cabin Kaguya floated cross-legged in the air in contemplation. A clone sat on the ground before her, keeping an eye on the woman and making sure that she doesn’t try to do anything troublesome. She may have been nerfed - a lot - by Himawari, but she’s still a Goddess. And he still had complete control over the simulation so he could take away her limited amount of powers if he wanted. It was a good idea to be careful.

But as he looked at her, and how young she looked when compared to with her son Hagoromo, Naruto with overwhelming curiousity, couldn’t help but ask, “So… out of curiosity... do you age?”

“I do not,” Kaguya replied absently. “I am, after all, not human. Even if I was, my true form is locked away in that seal, which preserves me in the state I was in when I was imprisoned. Even that’s not accounting for the Shinjuu fruit, which has the side effect of making one immortal.”

“Huh… I guess that explains why Old Man Hagoromo was old as dirt when we met for the first time…” Naruto trailed off and added thoughtfully. “And why you’re still so young, and good looking… you’ve had to be in your early 20s when you ate the Shinjuu fruit… at most.”

“I was… roughly 215,” Kaguya stated, “Days are longer on my homeworld, so I am unable to give you an exact estimate. Members of my Clan also mature at a slower rate than you humans… hybrids like my sons notwithstanding. Maturity-wise, I was in my late adolescence.”

Naruto whistled. “For someone who’s that old, you’re still sexy~” he grinned, and with a chuckle he added, “That makes me wanna see you in that swimsuit again to be honest… or maybe naked~”

For the life of her, Kaguya couldn’t help but blush. She expertly maintained her composure despite that, though. “Do that and I will find a way to hurt you.” she threatened in a calm, even tone.

“You tried to kill me and make everyone into your personal White Zetsu army,” Naruto pointed out with the same exact tone, “Not only that but your ‘son’ Black Zetsu was the main reason why the Shinobi World ended up the way it is. Embrassassing you is the least you can let me do… unless you’re too proud for that?”

“Black Zetsu was trying to free me,” Kaguya pointed out. “I am his mother. I’m sure your children would do anything necessary to free you if you were sealed away like I was. Also, the White Zetsus are to protect the world that I have claimed from my brethren. They are scouring all of existence to find me as we speak and it’s only a matter of time before they come here.”

“Oh, great…” Naruto muttered. “Fighting you was tough, now there’s an entire clan after your head?”

“Yes,” Kaguya replied gravely. “I am stronger than either of them are individually, but together, they could potentially kill me, despite my immorality.”

Naruto stared at her with unblinking eyes as her words slowly registered. “....Well, fuck!” Naruto cursed; then he fell down on his back and buried his face in his palms, “Fighting you was hard! I can’t imagine what it would be like to fight more people of your caliber! The Gods and Goddesses of this world fear you already!”

“That it will be like,” Kaguya corrected and ignored what he said about the gods and goddesses, “They will come here eventually. I can tell.” She shrugged. “Call it women’s intuition, but I’m guessing they’ll be here at some point in your lifetime.”

“Crap! Crap, crap, crap!” Naruto took several deep breaths to calm himself down lest he panic. “Alright… I’ll just have to come up with a game plan, just in case, then… I’m sure they can be beaten… somehow.”

Kaguya scoffed at that, rolling her eyes. “Please, if you manage to achieve that, I will find a way to break out of the seal, just to be your next broodmare.”

“...what?”

“You heard me,” she replied. “But there is no way you could beat them.”

Unbeknownst to the Rabbit Goddess, that… pressed a button. Naruto legitimately startled her with the most determined expression she’d ever seen in her long life. “Challenge accepted.”

“...what?”

----

Thirty minutes later, back in Uzushio, the real Naruto felt a chill run up his spine… why did he get the feeling a clone of his just did something so utterly stupid?!

Harja, meanwhile, didn’t notice her daddy’s internal plight as she was completely focused on getting this right. It was her third attempt. The first one lit itself ablaze and the second glowed, but that was it… until it, too, burst into flames. The third time’s the charm, right?

“Well, it’s not blowing up in your face like mine did, so you’re on the right track,” Naruto said with optimistic approval after he got back into the zone. “Your inkwork is impressive for a beginner, I didn't see any any smudges. However, it’s likely you got the formula wrong. I’m going to need to see the trigger once you make another exploding tag.”

“Okay,” Harja got herself another blank paper tag and got to work on carefully applying the seal formula to it in long, careful strokes. The pattern was quickly becoming second nature to the young woman as she painted away. A short moment later, she let out a sigh of relief upon seeing that the end product was pristine - not a single blotch, smudge, or unintended marking of any kind. Now, she just needed to see if she got the pattern right. With that in mind she handed the ‘smoke’ tag to her daddy for inspection.

He inspected the seal formula for any mistakes that she may have missed. And sure enough, he found one. “I found an… innovation.”

“Um… Innovation? Don’t you mean ‘mistake’?” Harja was disappointed, and more than a little annoyed that she had made yet another mistake. But Daddy didn't call it that.

“No. It’s an innovation.” Naruto chuckled. “Sure it was unintentional, but you daughter of mine, created an entirely new seal. One that starts fire.” He set the ‘fire tag’ down and pointed at a specific part of the formula. It was the ‘trigger’ to setting it off, and it had two ‘arches’ at the bottom of it that curved up and meeting back at the top… resembling a fire of sorts, “This right here is what’s causing the fire. That would normally go straight down and nothing else. But you made a change to it that made it make fire. Jiraiya-Sensei’s never seen anyone use this type of seal before, and there was no mention of a ‘fire maker’ tag in any records.” Naruto gave his daughter a wide and proud grin and ruffled her hair affectionately. Then Harja let out a startled yelp when her father suddenly pulled her into a one armed hug. “You just created your very own seal and you’re not even out of your apprenticeship yet! I’m SO proud!”

The poor thing was beet red, completely overwhelmed by what her daddy was saying, but immeasurably happy. She smiled brightly, hugging him back and purring loudly.

Off to the side, Cassandra and Miranda smiled at the father and daughter, looking forward to seeing their man and children interacting in such ways. Cynthia giggled and while Hana and Susan were admittedly jealous of Harja’s achievement, they were proud of her as well.

It was also a very encouraging sight for the twins. If Harja was able to create her own seal on accident, then they were bound to learn how to do that shit on purpose, eventually! Of course, they would have to be careful when they go about it lest they cause an accident.

“Anyway, achievement notwithstanding, you still need to get a puff of smoke.” Naruto said as he let Harja go. “So, get another blank tag and try again without the arches and curves on the trigger this time..”

“A-alright, Daddy,” Harja replied, still needing a moment to calm herself. After a few deep breaths, she picked up another blank paper tag, got her brush and tried again.

The half-awakened hybrid drew the formula with long purposeful, yet careful strokes and she made damn sure not to make the same mistake as last time. Even if that mistake had inadvertently made a new type of seal. A short moment later, she was done and the end product was pristine; like the last time, there was not a single blotch, smudge, or unintended marking of any kind. She handed the ‘smoke’ tag to Naruto for inspection.

“Hmmm…” he said analytically; then after a moment he said, “It looks good. I’m going to get a clone to test it at a safe distance, just in case.” Naruto told Harja, and he proceeded to do just that. A single kage bunshin appeared in a puff of smoke, took the paper tag from the original and jogged a safe enough distance away from the others.

He needn't have bothered in the end. A small amount of chakra was put into the tag and after a few seconds of waiting, a small puff of smoke shot out of it.

Naruto smiled. “Looks like you got it right this time.” he grinned proudly and ruffled Harja’s hair. “Good job, Harja!”

“Thank you, daddy!” Harja chirped.

“Now, let’s do a few more,” Naruto said, grabbing three more blank paper tags and set them down in front of the girl. “Your next challenge is to create three copies in a row that achieve the same effect. Pull that off, and we’ll advance to the next level: making an actual exploding tag.”

“Okay!” Her enthusiasm was contagious that was for sure. She dipped her brush into the ink and got to work on making three more exploding tags. Harja was careful and made damn sure that no mistake was made, and that the ink was not smudged in any way. After the first one was done, she slipped it aside for inspection and got to work on the second. And then she slipped that one aside for inspection once it was done and got to work on the third.

Naruto carefully looked them over one by one and once he had all three, the young father was impressed. “Alright, now it’s time to see if you were able to pull off the same effect.”

Naruto made another clone and handed him the paper tags. Once he took them the clone jogged to a safe enough distance so the possible explosion doesn’t hurt anyone. He channeled come of his chakra into the formula and waited for a few seconds. He got a small puff of smoke. He did the same thing for the second paper tag, and got the same result. He did the same thing once more, for the third and final paper tag, and...

Harja squealed and clapped her hands together repeatedly with excitement after getting three out of three.

Naruto chuckled, ruffling her hair. “Nicely done,” he praised. “That is three out of three. Now we can advance and get you to try making an actual exploding tag, this time.”

Harja was very excited to hear that~!

“Settle down, my little demolitionist,” Naruto teased. “These are going to be smaller explosions at first, before we advance to the bigger ones.” He got another blank paper tag and set it on the ground in front of her. “The formula is going to be a little different this time around…”

----

Late the next morning, back in Morris, a Naruto clone found himself an interesting surprise as the Elder Priest of Rabona was apparently on the town’s doorstep, looking to chat with Father Isaac. Fortunately, more than a few villagers were happy to help with that and guided his caravan to the chapel.

The caravan itself was heavily armed and armoured, but that came as no surprise. Naruto was well aware of the City of Rabona’s superstitious attitudes towards his silver-eyed wives, though that appeared to have lessened up, thanks to Clare. His little harem was allowed to take shelter there for the night on the way to Nile, but were excessively tucked away from prying eyes during their visit.

Needless to say, he hadn’t been back since, but Rabona herself apparently got herself busy in making that problem a thing of the past. They were still a bit wary, but old habits die hard, as the old saying goes. He could tell they’d warm up eventually, when given enough time.

Apparently, Riful of all people was expected for an appointment, later this afternoon, pertaining to the churches of Rabona and the Twins combining. It was a bit odd, he can admit that - he’d have thought Neideen would have been expected, or Sistina. Neideen because she’s a literal Saint and Sistina because she can talk to the twin Goddesses...

Then again, they practically lived in the chapel unless they were getting nookie from their man, and Riful was among the wisest beings on the continent, so maybe that was why...? Naruto shrugged mentally, he wasn’t a religious man by any means - even though he does have the eyes of Goddesses on him - so he’ll let the whole religion thing be handed by the experts.

With that thought aside, he decided to check on a few things. Those poor Feeders, in particular, were getting lonely without ‘Alpha’ actually being there. It seemed like a good idea to start with them. So, he did just that…

----

A few minutes later, the clone found himself smiling warmly at the adorable sight before him. Having found the Feeders in Inonon’s room, the girls in question here curled up around her as the Yamanaka petted Gaki while reading one of Naruto’s books.

Luckily that book was not one of his adult ones. It was his autobiography, a book that told his rise from rags to fame. It didn't have everything that’s happened to him in it though, some times were too personal for him to let others know of.

Naruto came closer and ruffled Inonon’s hair, startling her as she raised her nose out of the book; when she saw who it was the blonde gave him a warm smile. “So, how are they fairing with the Boss being in Uzushio?” he asked.

“They’re fine. A little lonely, but fine.” the girl answered with a shrug, and she smiled down at Gaki who - along with the other eight Feeders - had taken up residence in her room. While Naruto was gone, she was Alpha. “They’ve taken a liking to me and practically live in here, at least for now.”

“I guess that explains why the Boss or the others haven’t seen them wandering around the castle often.” The clone mused with a grin. “Have they been giving you any trouble?”

Still smiling, Inonon shook her head, “No, they’ve been on their best behavior.”

Naruto leaned in and gave the blonde a peck on the forehead, drawing a heavy blush from Inonon. “That’s good to hear. Thanks for keeping an eye on them.” then he pulled back and looked at Gaki, Akkah, Rylee, Meru, Rose, Sonya, Mary, Freya, and Astrid with mock seriousness, “If you’re bad girls, I just might have to spank the lot of you~”

The girls in question giggled as Astrid and Sonya nuzzled up to him. While they missed his scent they enjoyed the clone’s warmth, especially when he petted them. And petted them he did; the clone enjoyed having them nuzzle against his palms.

“So, I’m going to be here to keep the Abyss Feeders company for a bit,” the nine women in question all perked up at that, “whereabouts are you in the autobiography?” the Naruto clone asked as he took a seat on the edge of the bed.

“Just got to the part where you saved Nami, but this is my fifth time reading it,” Inonon replied sheepishly. It was slightly embarrassing getting caught fangirling, but there wasn’t much she could do about that.

The clone looked back at her with wide eyes at that. Then his eyes went back to normal as he chuckled, “I see.” he scooted back on the bed a bit and asked, “So, Inonon, is it okay if ask you something?”

The blonde in question gave him a smile. “Go right, ahead.”

The Naruto clone smiled back at her, “You wanna play ‘doctor’?”

Inonon dropped the book in shock before frantically snatching it up before it could get damaged. Then, she giggled and gave him a shy but eager nod. “I take it I still need to avoid anything too risky?”

The clone looked at her as if she asked a dumb question. “Of course. You’re still underage here.” the clone reminded her.

“My next birthday couldn’t come soon enough,” Inonon giggled.

The Abyss Feeders looked between the two of them with curiosity. “D-D-Doc...tor?” Sonya rasped, she was still not used to talking and her vocal cords were underused still.

“It’s a… very naughty game,” Inonon giggled. “Don’t tell anyone or Alpha will get in trouble, okay?”

Suddenly the Naruto clone went up in a puff of smoke, making poor Astrid and Sonya jump out of their skins in surprise. And when the smoke dispersed in the air, a younger 13-year-old Naruto was there and was smiling both apologetically and sheepishly.

Then the blond quickly got in the act of acting like an embarrassed, and nervous, young boy, “U-Um, Doctor Inonon… I-I have another problem, c-can you… t-take a look at it again?” he looked at Astrid, Sonya, Gaki, Akkah, Meru, Mary, Rylee, Freya, and Rose, “M-Maybe the nurses can help out?”

Inonon giggled impishly at that as the Feeders all shared looks of curiosity, then the blonde quickly got into the role of a concerned Doctor and said, “Of course!” as she carefully and slowly pulled further along the bed before laying him down on it. “I’ll take good care of you.”

Naruto felt his pants tighten upon hearing that. Then Inonon made a show of doing a diagnostic by ‘scanning’ him for any ailments with her hand hovering above him. She started with his head first, then she slowly trailed her hand down his body.

“It would appear you have some pressure built up in your groin, again.” Inonon said analytically, once she reached there, “We’re going to have to ease that pressure before it’s too late to cure.”

“A-alright,” Naruto replied, doing his best to sound nervous.

“Now, now,” Inonon cooed, “No need to be shy. I said I’d take good care of you, didn’t I~?” Wasting no time, her hands went straight to his trousers and she added, “Now let’s get these out of the way so I can treat you, okay?”

And then she slipped her digits under the waistline of his trousers and in one fell swoop, Inonon firmly yanked his trousers and underwear down his legs. His 9 inch cock, sprang up and slapped against his abdomen once it was free and the 9 Abyss Feeders gasped as they stared at the thick slab of meat and the equally large ballsack. Even in this younger form, it was still huge!

“Yes, this is most definitely the root of your problem,” Inonon said with absolute confidence in her voice, and the huge, veiny cock throbbed menacingly when the blonde took it in her hand and straightened it up, “The pressure needs to be sucked out of it,” the Yamanaka lewdly licked her lip before looking at Astrid, Sonya, Gaki, Akkah, Meru, Mary, Rylee, Freya, and Rose before saying, “Girls, you’re going to have to use your mouths and help me suck out the pressure from this huge, throbbing cock before it’s too late~”

While the girls didn’t quite understand the roleplay, they licked their lips, knowing full well what she wanted them to do. Gaki was predictably the one to crawl up first, being the next up in their little ‘pecking order’, right after Inonon.

“I said girls, not girl,” Inonon giggled when no one else tried to get a piece of him, “But, then again, it would be hard for more than two at a time.” She looked to her man with a mischievous glint in her eye. “This is going to be a looong session,” she cooed. “I hope you’re ready~!”

“I…” the deaged clone inhaled deeply and exhaled, “I am…” the deaged clone shuddered when he felt Gaki’s warm breath against the underside of his cock, “I can take as many mouths on my cock as they can fit around it!” He said both as a way to challenge them, and to get as many mouths sucking away on his cock.

“Two more it is, then,” Inonon giggled, looking at the other Feeders who suddenly looked rather eager. “Akkah, you’re up, too!”

The strawberry blonde cooed hungrily at that, licking her lips as she crawled on up to him. She sat to Gaki’s left, and Naruto’s right, and impishly looked at the deaged clone from the corner of her eye.

Inonon giggled and sang, “Freya, you’re up as well~!”

The Feeder in question chirped happily, crawling on up to Gaki’s right and Naruto’s left. She too impishly looked at the deaged clone from the corner of her eye. With those two in position, Inonon took up hers, opposite to Akkah and started licking Naruto’s shaft. The strawberry blonde followed her example as Freya and Gaki worked together, closer to the head - doing their part to get their mate off.

Soon, the girls started alternating their strokes as best they could with the limited room they had, Inonon and Akkah going up while Freya and Gaki went down, before they switched. Their coordination was nothing short of uncanny.

Naruto moaned happily at the sensations, and he was loving every bit of it as his balls started to churn.

Inonon withdrew and did a good job in looking very concerned, even as Gaki, Akkah and Freya kept licking away. “Oh no, the pressure is getting worse!” She donned a very serious look, “It looks like we’re going to have to get serious. Gaki, Akkah, Freya, you’ve got to start sucking it with everything you have before it gets worse!”

The three exchanged a glance, before getting themselves into position. Gaki was taking the head, with Freya taking the right, and Akkah taking the left as Inonon stepped aside. Then Freya and Akkah latched their mouths to the sides of Naruto’s cock and started sucking and slurping away as they moved their mouths up and down along it. Gaki in the other hand took the bulbous head right into her mouth and started sucking away on it with a series of hungry moans and grunts as her tongue swirled around it with enthusiasm.

Naruto enjoyed it immensely, letting out a guttural moan as he basked in the sensations. Those Feeders knew how to work their mouths now that they’re not… well… sharp enough to bite your dick off.

Inonon was right, this was going to be a long session.

----

Meanwhile, in Morris’s simulation...

“Seriously, don’t call me ‘Giggles’.”

“But you are ‘Giggles’ to me! You giggle a lot~!”

“Why don’t you go and bother him?”

“OI! Don’t involve me!”

“Why not ‘Yami’?”

“Because I ain’t part of your dumbass conversation!”

Two Naruto’s and a plant were talking in the sim’s void. Insane Naruto, who’d been dubbed ‘Giggles’ by the plant, ‘Yami’ Naruto, the masked one who’d owned Team Ebisu a while back, and Himawari who’s proactively acting as the real Naruto’s ‘daughter’, thanks to Irene giving her the idea of being a female.

“Oh? Well, you are now, Uncle Yami~” Himawari giggled, as she wiggled around with excitement.

“Don’t call me uncle!” Yami growled. “It makes me feel old. If anything, I’m your sibling.”

“Oh, oh~!” Himawari chirped. “Yami-Oniichan, then~!”

“No… don’t call me Oniichan.” the masked blond growled with irritation, “I’m not from the Elemental Nations - so I don’t even need to be called that.”

“You must be greaaat at parties…” Giggles deadpanned.

“Oh put a sock in it you psychotic, sad, insane excuse of a Naruto.” Yami spat.

“Oniichan it is,” Giggles chirped before breaking down into a rapid series of insane giggles..

“Heeeeeeeey.... Don’t fight. Think of the opportunity~!” Himawari said with excitement. What she said had gotten Yami and Giggles’ attention, and interest.

“...What opportunity?” Yamo asked, his tone sounded almost demanding.

“Giggles-”

“Don’t call me ‘Giggles’!”

“-here can manipulate the simulation to appear in front of others, even when it’s not being used! I can do the same and so can you, Yami-Oniichan! Think about it: when someone is using the simulation we three can appear and have a little fun~!”

“My type of fun is utterly wrecking them when I’m being ‘used’.” Yami deadpanned. “And unlike you and ‘Giggles’ here, I’d rather not do that. That pervert of a Sage is here, so is that Red-Headed woman and the blond. All three of them are either seal masters - or at least proficient enough to stop us in the Red-Head’s case. I like my freedom, thank you.”

“But think of the fun we could have!” Giggles said with enticement.

“You dumbass, I’d rather not get erased in retaliation, thank you very much.”

“That is a very real possibility,” a feminine voice pointed out. The three of them redirected their attention to Kaguya as she floated on up to them. “From what I can tell, it’s entirely possible that those three were placed in this seal as a countermeasure.”

“Who the fuck are you?” Yami flatly demanded, and grunted in surprise when Himawari whacked him across the back of the head with one of her vines.

“Charming…” the woman muttered sarcastically, rolling her eyes.

“That’s Kaguya, A Goddess. And someone who could easily wipe the floor with the three of us, were it not for the leash I have on her.” Himawari said.

“At least I’m getting my due credit,” Kaguya chirped. “So… just how many of you are there in this seal? I simply must know.”

“Fuck if I know,” Yami flatly answered, “Ten, twenty, a thousand? There’s a robot version of the real Naruto in here somewhere… along with a robot version of that fox sealed in him. There’s also that Ten Tails thing in here as well, and so is Madara. But he’s not like us… I think?”

“He is indeed a fake,” Himawari clarified. “Him, Mukade, Zabuza, among others…”

“Including that singing girl you like to eat,” Giggles added.

“It’s the only reason Daddy lets me do that,” Himawari giggled. “There’s a few plants as well, but as far as I know, I’m the only one of my kind. The rest are not at all self-aware.”

“Wrong,” Yami drawled, “There is one other plant that’s self-aware: the plant that ate that brunette and blonde woman in those rocks. It’s not smart enough to talk, but it could clearly understand them.”

“Oh, that one’s just like the singing girl,” Himawari clarified. “Smart, but not aware of its own false existence like we are.”

“It’s still self-aware.” Yami shot back, “Self-aware, because it responded to the blonde’s taunts, and the brunette’s praise; but not smart like you.”

“Yeah, I suppose that’s accurate.” Himawari giggled. “So far, we are the only ones aware of our false existence,” she said, turning to address Kaguya directly. “You and those other three are technically from outside, so you’re not fake like us. But you in particular… you’re a confusing one...”

“Oh? How’s she confusing?” Yami asked.

The flower bounced enthusiastically, “I created her to be part of my adventure! She had no soul, like the others I’ve created and what happens to the girls I manage to gobble down - then, out of nowhere, she became conscious when Daddy wanted her to be as accurate to the real Kaguya as possible. Daddy even said she was the real deal and that he could sense her presence!”

“Huh… That is weird…” Yami muttered under his breath. He cocked his head consideringly. It’s entirely possible that someone put her consciousness in here. Of course, being the bastard that he is Yami kept that thought to himself.

Of course, Himawari could tell what he was thinking, but kept that to herself as well.

“Rest assured that I am still just as confused as you are,” Kaguya added with a sigh. The woman could see one silver lining to this though: she wasn’t stuck in a moon in one of her own dimensions anymore… well… conscious wise that is. She could do without the flower - of all things - wanting to eat her, but there wasn’t anything she could do about that.

She is fairly sure that the real Naruto is having a panic attack as well. The one that was with her had dispelled himself, and while she didn't know the specifics of that technique, she did notice during their fight that they all remembered and adapted to her lack of a combat expertise; when she killed clones with her Ash-Killing Bone, though, the others didn't react as if they had an influx of memories. She could feel the chakra going back to the other clones though, but other than that nothing else happened.

She pushed those thoughts aside, though. It was beneath her to think of the mechanics of inferior techniques.

“So why are you here?” Yami grunted out, drawing Kaguya’s attention to him. “If you’re here to have a conversation, then I’m sorry to say we’re not exactly… good conversationalists… or whatever it’s called.”

“We have a plant, an insane man child, and a depressed emo~!” Himawari giggled.

“...I’m going to ignore that last part.” Yami muttered.

“I was just wondering what you three were up to when I saw that you were together,” Kaguya shrugged. “Since that clone left for the night, I’ve been wandering aimlessly around the seal out of boredom, for the most part… and pointedly avoiding the perverted toad man.”

“These idiots want to cause trouble, by hacking the seal and muck around in the simulation when it’s being used” Yami said, jerking his head towards Himawari and Giggles, “You two morons are already pushing your luck, and the real Naruto’s already nerfed you, plant, because of you’ve apparently never heard of subtlety. And if ‘Giggles’ here doesn’t knock it off, a similar thing will happen to him. And now the two of you want to cause even more trouble that might end up with you becoming even weaker, or worse! Being wiped from the seal entirely! I prefer to exist, thank you very much!”

“All valid points to consider,” Kaguya replied with a sagely nod. “I like this seal. It’s by far preferable to the sensory deprivation of the one I was originally locked into.”

“I’ll take your word for it,” Yami shrugged dismissively. “Well, if you want to have a conversation, then join us if you want. Just stay away from ‘Giggles’-”

“I ain’t Giggles dammit!”

“-and the plant. The blood covered one’s more likely to rip you a new one, and the plant’s more likely to eat you.” seeing the look Kaguya was giving him, Yami just shrugged his shoulders and said, “They were made that way. They can’t help it; though they seem to enjoy it. The plant has a preference to eating girls though.”

“I see… I shall take that into consideration.” Kaguya said with a thoughtful frown. It was a no brainer, the woman floated on over to Yami and kept all three of her eyes on Giggles and Himawari.

“Awww~!” Himawari cooed. “Don’t be like that. You’ll just respawn after I’m done digesting you, just like that singing girl~!”

“I’d... rather not test that for obvious reasons,” Kaguya deadpanned.

“I don’t think anyone would want to test that for obvious reasons.” Yami added in wholehearted agreement. “Anyway… what were we talking about again? I forgot.”

Giggles opened his mouth, only to close it a moment later, “...I forgot too.” he said sheepishly.

“I forgot as well,” Himawari admitted. Then she bounced in place, “Oh! Oh! Oh! I know! Let’s start a new conversation!”

“Like what?” Yami flatly asked.

“Like getting to know our new guest, perhaps~?” Himawari suggested “She did nearly kick Daddy’s ass, after all; I am so curious about her~!”

They would have seen Yami roll his eyes if it wasn’t for his mask. “What’s there to know about her? She’s a Goddess, it’s obvious she would be able to kick his ass.”

Kaguya couldn’t help but smile at that if her life depended on it.

“I’m curious about where she came from,” Himawari replied. “Apparently she’s where all chakra in the world comes from.”

Yami thought about it for a moment, and quickly shook his head in denial. “...No. There’s no way that’s possible.”

“And why not?” Himawari asked, with Kaguya looking at Yami questioningly.

“Because that would mean Kaguya either fucked like… thousands of people in her lifetime… or the Sage of the Six Paths somehow spread chakra around. Now that I think about it, I’m betting it’s the latter, than the former.”

“I only had two children,” Kaguya pointed out flatly. “Both with the same man. What they did after I was imprisoned is anyone’s guess, but I am indeed the progenitor of chakra.”

Yami tilt his head with consideration. “Huh… and the Uzumaki, Senju and Uchiha Clans are descended from you… I guess in some twisted way, you’re the Clan Head of all three of them.”

“Wasn’t it rumoured that the Hyuuga are descendants of the Uchiha or just splintered off?” Himawari asked.

“Oh?” Kaguya perked up at that.

“That’s just a rumour.” Yami shrugged. “The eyes of both the Hyuuga and Uchiha Clans are different. But… Kaguya here has got the eyes of the Hyuuga Clan and her third eye is a mixture of the Sharingan and Rinnegan; the Sage of the Six Paths had the Rinnegan, and his two sons inherited the eyes - the Sharingan for the older brother - and the body of the sage. The Uchiha and Senju Clans are descended from them respectively, and the Uzumaki Clan splintered off from the Senju Clan. The lesser known son may have had the Byakugan, and the Hyuuga Clan’s descended from him. Of course, that is speculation on my part… unless you confirm it.”

Yami never saw the Six Paths Sage before, so he was going entirely on what limited knowledge he has on the legend. It certainly helps that his past was very similar to the original.

“I have the All-Seeing Eyes and my third one is solid red with odd patterns…?” Kaguya added with a helpless shrug. “One of my sons had the All-Seeing Eyes and one did not.”

“That’s our confirmation then - one of Kaguya’s sons had the Byakugan, and everyone can therefore trace their ancestry back to Kaguya. Seeing as she is the oldest living being right now, Kaguya can in theory claim ownership of the Uzumaki, Uchiha, Senju and Hyuuga Clans since they technically belong to her.”

“One problem with that though,” Giggles pointed out, and him sounding sane threw Yami and Himawari in for a loop. “She’s trapped in here. And if her words are anything to go by, she’s also trapped in another place entirely. She also tried to kill everyone and turn them into White Zetsus, if what Himawari said was right. Pretty sure the clans in question wouldn’t take too kindly to her trying to claim that position.”

“...you sounded very smart there.” Yami was pleasantly surprised.

The blood stained Naruto gave Yami one of the flattest looks any of them had ever seen. “I may have the tendency to not think things through, but that doesn’t mean I’m an idiot.” he flatly pointed out. “I can think, and I can act on what I think. Honestly, the Goddess here pretty much dug her own grave and no one’s going to listen to someone who is for all intents and purposes, a part of this simulation. Granted, she’s real, like the Fourth Hokage, but no one holds her in high regard.”

“Doesn’t mean she can’t give advice here and there.” Yami pointed out. “But you have a point, and what I was saying was technical. She can technically claim ownership of those Clans, because they’re related to her. Whether or not she’d actually succeed in doing so is another story entirely.”

Crossing her legs and tilting her head curiously, Kaguya decided she might a well humour these three. “So, is there anything else you would like to know?”

“Oh! Oh! Oh! Am I allowed to eat you~?” Himawari cooed as she bounced in place with excitement. Well if nothing else the flower was a determined little thing when it comes to getting what she wants.

“No.” Kaguya sighed. The flower’s determination was admirable, so credit where it was due, but she was not about to experience that if she could help it… especially after seeing Himawari’s last adventure, earlier this morning. That poor redhead…

“Aw…” the flower whined, only to cheerfully bounce back, “Well I can mind control you into doing what I want…” she said ominously.

“Please don’t…” That sounded horrifying!

Deciding to diffuse the situation, if only to avoid pissing off the real Naruto, Yami cleared his throat. “So…” he began. “Where are you from? You never answered that question, because we got sidetracked.”

Visibly - albeit subtly - grateful for the change of subject, Kaguya hummed thoughtfully. “How to explain that… It’s not as simple as saying I’m from a specific country, because said country is in another world.”

Giggles, Yami and Himawari exchanged looks with one another before they looked back at Kaguya. “Humour us,” Yami said.

She took a deep breath and said, “I am from the land of Y’gdra, on a world several universes away the one Naruto lives on.”

“Aaaaaand you’ve lost me,” Giggles said in a flat, tone.

Kaguya let out a long suffering sigh. Explaining this to a bunch of primitives was going to be a bitch wasn’t it? “I’m a dimension-hopping rabbit goddess from a far, far, far away world you’ve never heard of. It had purple skies, three suns and five moons. The grass was orange, the trees were blue and my cousin has eyes in his hands.”

Giggles just stared at her with wide eyes. Yami was completely unreadable, thanks to that mask of his. Himawari was silent. But Kaguya knew they were trying to process her words into an image in their heads, but were simply unable to.

“...your world is strange.” Himawari was the first one to speak and Yami and Giggles nodded in silent agreement.

Then, Giggles predictably made this awkward. “So, how does your cousin jerk off without poking himself in the eye?”

Yami and Himawari both whacked him across the head and he just cackled like a madman.
Kaguya’s pale skin, meanwhile, turned bright red from her collarbone to the roots of her hair like a thermometer. “I… never asked.”

“Ignore this idiot - he’s stupid.” Yami growled, jerking his head to the blood covered blond in question.

“I ain’t stupid!” Giggles snapped.

“So, what is it like there?” Yami asked, promptly ignoring him.

“It had a beauty that was comparable to this world.” Kaguya answered evasively.

“...I noticed you said, ‘was’, ‘were’ and ‘had’, something happened to it.” Himawari stated and it wasn’t a question either.

“Yes.” Kaguya sighed, and she noticed Yami and Giggles were giving her their absolute attention. “Long before I became a Goddess, my homeworld was destroyed by my Clan’s own hubris; and in the wake of the planet’s destruction in our solar system, we took to exploring our dimension through the void of space. And after an undetermined amount of time, I ended up in this dimension by complete accident. The rest from there is history.”

Her Clan had ended up destroying all three of the suns in their solar system, and in the wake of its expansion they had to move somewhere. And the universe was a large, vastly unexplored place.

Yami and Giggles blinked at that; well, it seems the old saying ‘you learn something new every day’ was true.

----

Later on, after having made sure everything was in working order, the clone who’d discovered Kaguya in the sim dispelled. Due to the long distance between the clone and the original though, there was a bit of a delay - about a days worth - but when he received the memories, Naruto bolted upright from his sleeping bag.

“FFFUUUUUCCCKK!!!”

His distressed howl could literally be heard all the way back in Nami… eventually. The soundwaves needed a moment to get there.

“OH SHIT! OH SHIT! OH SHIT!!!” Naruto was curled up in a ball, arms around his head, and was quickly rocking himself back and forth in his sleeping bag. It would have made for a comical sight, if he didn't look so genuinely scared.

Of course, his cry of distress had brought everyone else’s attention to him and Cynthia was the first of the ten to arrive.

The pigtailed blonde slammed the door to the room her husband was in open, as her silver eyes darted frantically around the room for her husband. And when she saw him, rocking back and forth looking terrified, she immediately ran over to him. “Naruto! Naruto, what is it?!”

Struggling to calm his nerves enough to communicate, Naruto took several deep, calming breaths, before hauntingly saying, “K-K-Kaguya…”

Immediately, Cynthia frowned, scooping her hubby up into a comforting hug. “It’s okay, honey,” she said, “It’s just a bad dream. She can’t hurt you anymore.”

“She’s in the simulation seal,” Naruto said after several more deep breaths. “A clone of mine and that flower, Himawari, did something and she somehow ended up in there… Oh, and there’s more.” Naruto chirped with mock-excitement. “Apparently, Kaguya was turning everyone into an army of White Zetsus for the purpose of defeating her clan, who are apparently out for her head.”

Cynthia widened her eyes at that, as did everyone else as they piled into the room. That was… bad news. Very, bad news.

“D-does that mean we’re going to be facing an entire family of Kaguya’s calibur?!” Cynthia almost shrieked, now she understood why Naruto was acting this way. Beating her required both Naruto and Sasuke to work together, and they were barely able to land a hit on her! Now there’s more?!

“Kaguya guessed it would be sometime in my lifetime, so, I’ll have to say ‘yes’ to that.” Naruto hugged his wife and rocked back and forth again, with the plaited blonde doing the same thing.

“Who is Kaguya?” Cassandra asked. She was pretty much out of the loop on who this person was, but from the way Naruto and Cynthia was acting she had to be bad news.

“Kaguya is a Goddess - a literal Goddess.” Galatea shakingly answered. “Naruto fought her with the help of Sasuke, Kakashi, Sakura and an Uchiha called Obito, and managed to defeat her by imprisonment. She out classes all of us in power and techniques.”

Naruto added a bit more to it since he has more experience with the woman’s abilties. “She is faster than Hysteria’s Elegance, has the Hyuuga Clan’s All-Seeing Eye, and has the Rinne Sharingan which is the predecessor of the Sharingan and Rinnegan. She can literally pull you into another world instantly, and she has an instant-kill technique, that will slowly crumble you to ash if you’re hit. You have a good healing factor? Wel,l too bad! You’re dead anyway! It’s something even I can’t heal. Oh, and she can fly.”

“To make matters worse, it’s safe to assume these clanmates of hers are actually trained in combat if they’re looking to pick a fight with a literal goddess,” Harja muttered thoughtfully. “So, they won’t share her lack of expertise.”

“Sasuke and I will have to fight them if that’s the case.” Naruto groaned in agitation, “We’re the only ones capable of sealing them away thanks to Old Man Hagoromo giving us his chakra.” Then he tried to be optimistic and added, “Still, on the bright side, a thousand years had passed without any sign of her Clan’s arrival so it’s entirely possible that their numbers have dwindled enough that they can’t spare any people to investigate.”

“Well… that is one way to think about it.” Cynthia didn't like to have negative thoughts but just this once she can try and take comfort in the fact that a family of alien beings that can destroy them with a flick of their wrist may be down to their last numbers.

“So… does this mean we have to go back?” As much as she wanted to stay, Hana knew this was very serious. So if he wanted them all to go back then she would go back without question. She, along with the other nine, were pleasantly surprised when Naruto shook his head no.

“It seems the plant has a leash on the woman.” Naruto was happy to say that because he was outright grinning. “Himawari’s got direct control over how strong Kaguya can be. The plant did make her body before her consciousness somehow found its way in there. All Kaguya can do is float and use a sharingan and byakugan from what the memories tell me. We can stay here for the next few days; my clones are almost done sweeping the ruins for any remaining active seals.”

“If the situation changes somehow, don’t hesitate to give us the word, okay?” Cynthia asked, giving him another hug.

“Alright,” he hugged her back, giving the former Number 14 a peck on the cheek. Then, as he withdrew, he addressed everyone. “You all can go back to bed, now. I’ll be fine.”

Cynthia just held her hubby tighter, “I’m going to stay with you. You scared me!” she huffed with a childish pout.

Naruto chuckled warmly at that, hugging her back. “Alright, fair enough,” he said, giving her a peck on the cheek. He unzipped his bedroll and let Cynthia slide inside; once she was in Naruto wrapped his arms around her and pulled his wife to him who smiled. She may not be affected by the biting cold winds of winter, or the scorching heat of the summer, but she was affected by Naruto’s warmth.

He was just so comfortable to be around!

Naruto smiled at the others, “I’ll see the rest of you in the morning, alright?”

The others smiled and nodded before leaving the room without a word, though Galatea gave Naruto a deep loving liplock before she departed for her own room.

“Everything will be okay, alright, honey?” Cynthia cooed. “I’ll do everything in my power to help you if you need it and I’m sure all the others will do the same.”

“I know,” Naruto sighed. Then he leaned in and started kissing and nibbling at her neck. Cynthia mewled longingly as she tilted her head for better access. Naruto chuckled and started rubbing her back and leaving a nice fat hickey to mark her as his.

He wasn’t planning on plowing her, though the temptation was there. But he was doing to cuddle the woman and give her some nookie. And from the looks of it, Cynthia was all too happy to receive it.

Back in Morris.

Riful was, for all intents and purposes, bored out of her mind. Granted this was all part of her plan for world domination, but there were days when she just missed being the Abyssal One of the West and having everyone afraid of you. Luckily she wasn’t alone, in the chapel with her was Neideen the Naughty, and Sistina the Divine Oracle, both of whom are garbed in their nun uniforms. Father Isaac was there as well, and he was talking to the Elder Priest of Rabona; why she of all people was asked to come down here was beyond her, since it looked like Isaac had everything handled from her perspective. But she wasn’t going to question it.

So, there Riful was, sitting at a round table quietly listening to Father Isaac and the Elder Priest chatting away about things she was incapable of understanding. Sistina and Neideen were seated beside her, with the latter quietly humming to herself and the former was drumming her fingers against her forearm.

They were just as bored as she was.

“So, this is the famed Riful of the West, then,” the Elder Priest mused aloud, eyeballing the girl. “I must admit that I was rather skeptical of claims that a young girl who turned into a giant ribbon monster had nearly destroyed the Organization and razed no less than ten villages, all those hundreds of years ago.”

“Fifteen, actually,” Riful clarified. “Some of them were blamed on youma.”

“I see,” the man replied, giving her a cautious grin. “Well, I am glad to hear you are on our side. I am the newly-appointed Elder Priest of Rabona, Father Vincent.”

“Oh?” Neideen quirked an eyebrow at that. “What happened to the previous one?”

“Old age, I’m afraid.” The bald man answered. “He passed away in his sleep, a few months ago, at the age of 101.”

“Impressive lifespan, I must say,” Riful commented, visibly surprised. An ordinary human living past a century was almost unheard of! It happened, but only if you were very lucky. And the former Elder Priest was clearly lucky. “Clearly, he was doing something right.”

“Indeed, he was,” Vincent chuckled warmly. “The man lived a happy life and was quite a joy to be around. He’ll be sorely missed.”

“Naruto might have him beat in life span, one day,” Neideen chuckled. “His mother's side of the family were known for their longevity.”

“Very interesting,” Father Vincent mused aloud. “The fabled Lord of Morris truly is full of surprises, isn’t he?”

“Oh, you have no idea,” Riful giggled. “The destruction of Pieta was his doing, though, to be fair, that was to wipe out an invading force of monsters. And where he’s from he’s essentially a mayor with the military rank of a king. All he lacks is a realm, but he is in the process of reclaiming his ancestral homeland, so that won’t take long to amend.”

“His ancestral homeland is far from these lands, across the sea to the West.” Sistina clarified when she saw the questioning look on the man’s face. “You would not have heard of it.”

“He’s actually heading an expedition to the island as we speak,” Riful chirped. “They should be back in a few days.”

“To think there are far away lands yet unexplored,” Father Vincent muttered to himself in amazement.

“Not unexplored, just not yet rediscovered.” Sistina corrected, “The Organization is to blame for that. The civilians on this continent actually came from another one, where the Organization themselves hailed from.”

Neideen added with a sickeningly sweet smile, “To make a complicated story short: there is a war. The Organization’s side was losing, so they used this island to create weapons to fight in their war. We ‘Claymores’ are experiments of theirs to be used in this war and everyone else is in their eyes unimportant collateral damage.”

“All in all: this entire island is just one huge experiment for them. Thanks to Naruto however, we are no longer bound to live or die on their word.” Sistina said with a happy smile.

“Naruto even has proof from the Organization’s misdeeds since they arrived here.” Riful added, “It was how he had managed to get so many warriors to defect to his side when the time came.”

“Such fascinating achievements,” Father Vincent commented, looking to Father Isaac. “It comes as no surprise that the Twins and Lady Rabona have grown so fond of him.”

“Them and many others,” Sistina giggled. “Both from this land and his, no less.”

“So... you all seem to have everything well in hand, so why am I here, exactly?” Riful asked; she was awfully curious and wanted to know why they asked her to come along when it seemed they didn't even need her to be here.

“Because the City of Rabona will be falling under your domain, when you and the other Abyssal Ones stake your claims on this island,” Father Vincent clarified. “I wish to become more familiar with the Supreme Overlady of the West.”

“Supreme Overlady, huh?” Riful raised an eyebrow before smiling. “I like it~!” The title had an odd ring to it, but she could get used to that.

Five Days Later

In Uzushiogakure no Sato, Naruto let out a tired but satisfied sigh as he gave his handiwork a good, long look. He was satisfied with what they had managed to do during the time they were here. All the seals were deactivated, the bodies from all four sides were cleaned out and given a proper burial, and all the rubble and debris was cleared out. His daughters even volunteered to help with the overgrowth - Harja being particularly useful in that regard, as her ribbons cut down the grass and trimmed the trees to shape. Hana and Susan, meanwhile, had helped with the weeds.

The buildings, unfortunately, would have to be replaced since the materials from the ruins were not up to stuff. The ruins themselves will have to be taken away, obviously, since nature was in the process of reclaiming them when they arrived on the island. He’d have to get some architects from Nami to rebuild the once prosperous Hidden Village; luckily, he knew a certain bridge builder with connections in the Elemental Nations.

He was one of the architects that helped rebuild Konoha the first time she got destroyed after all, so the man has some experience when it comes to rebuilding a destroyed Hidden Village.

“This looks good,” he said with tired satisfaction. “Still, it needs work, obviously, but it’s almost unrecognizable from when we first came here. You three did a very good job.”

Harja, Hana, and Susan all beamed at that, happy to hear that their efforts were appreciated.

“So what do we do now?” Hysteria asked, slipping her arms around Naruto from behind.

“We go back to Morris and let everyone know Uzushiogakure is almost ready. I got to put down a teleportation seal first, though, so we don’t have to use Isobu to get back on the island.” Naruto replied, as he lovingly held Hysteria’s forearm. “After that, it depends if we have to take the castle or not. I know a guy who’s got connections with architects in the Elemental Nations. I’ll be consulting him, before we head back, so you and the others can explore Nami a bit more and have a little fun before we go back.”

“Sounds good to me,” Licht said with a agreeing nod.

And with that Naruto got to work on applying the teleportation seal to the island. It took him a few minutes to brush it down, but once he was done, he had the others grab hold of him and each other before they vanished enmass from the island.

Kurama had already told Isobu that Naruto was leaving through their connection. But instead of leaving, the giant turtle decided to stay for a few more days, before leaving himself. He wanted to make sure someone was keeping an eye on the place in Naruto’s absence, much to the blond’s appreciation.

The group reappeared in the great hall of Morris’ citadel almost immediately after. It was night time, everyone else was in bed, which gives him a good enough of an excuse to check on a certain Rabbit Goddess.

Of course, there were a couple of people who were still up, and they felt Naruto’s chakra reappear in the castle along with so many others. The second they felt him reappear with the others they immediately dropped what they were doing and made a beeline for him, much to Naruto’s amusement.

Miria was quite predictably the first among them to appear, practically materializing on Naruto’s arm thanks to her phantom technique. Tabitha was close behind, and she practically did the same thing to his other arm, though hers was more like a blur of motion fading into focus when she came to a stop.

Priscilla was close behind, already claiming a liplock from her mate before he even realized she was in front of him. Then she withdrew and pressed herself against him, rubbing her cheek against his broad chest like a puppy trying to have its owner pay attention to them.

Glissa and Yuma came next, the dark haired awakened was a blur of motion before she threw herself down on her knees and slid over to him and hugged a leg to her bosom. Yuma was doing the exact same thing to Naruto’s other leg, though the shy woman was giving him quite the impish smirk when he looked past Priscilla and down at them bewilderedly.

Last was Clare and Jean, both of whom just walked on up to him and tried their best to hug their hubby from behind.

To say Naruto was overwhelmed is an understatement, but he didn't really mind it. “I’m surprised I don’t get dogpiled like this more often,” he said with a chuckle. “You girls missed me that much?”

“Yes,” Priscilla’s answer was short and to the point. She glanced at Miria, Tabitha, Clare, Yuma, and Glissa from the corner of her eyes one by one, before looking up at Naruto and saying in a flat, demanding tone, “Breed us.”

“Not in front of the kids,” Naruto chuckled. Then, his attitude took a one-eighty, legitimately startling the ladies. “There’s… something I need to do. Something that unfortunately takes a higher priority than that.” Once that’s done, though, he’ll gladly breed these women.

Miria was curious, and worried, from the grim tone in her hubby’s voice. It was very well hidden but she could sense his unease. Priscilla on the other hand, could feel and hear his heartbeat speed up with anxiety. That made her frown dangerously. What could make him so anxious?

With narrowed eyes Priscilla pulled back and looked up at him. “What is it that has you so nervous?” she softly demanded.

“...I’m hoping it’s nothing.” the blond answered with a sigh.

Chloe growled with irritation and decided to get straight to the point instead of having Naruto’s fidgeting keep everyone out of the loop, “Oh for the love of- a Goddess he’s fought called Kaguya has somehow found herself in that simulation thing in the bailey! That’s what the problem is! That’s where his priority is!”

Everyone who was holding on to him went stiff in shock - except for one.

Priscilla perked up at that. “The Kaguya? As in the real deal?”

Naruto gave her a worried look. He hoped she wasn’t thinking what he thought she was thinking. “Uh… Yeah?” then he gave the brunette a very serious look, “Priscilla… if you’re thinking what I think you’re thinking, don’t.”

The brunette in question frowned at that. “I’m not thinking about challenging her or anything… at the moment,” she admitted. “I just want to make sure everything’s okay.”

He deflated in relief at that, “Thank the Sage for that, then. Believe me, she is not someone you want to fight… ever.”

Priscilla shrugged. “You’re the Alpha, now,” she reminded him. “If you’re scared of her, then I have plenty of reason to be worried.”

Naruto shuddered, as he got a haunted look on his face. “Let me put it this way, Priss: if you’re hit with her Ash-Killing Bone, it doesn’t matter how good of a healing factor you have, you’re dead the moment you’re hit.”

“Ash-Killing Bone?” The brunette in question didn't know what that technique was, but it sounded awful.

Naruto dampened his lip. “Imagine being able to shoot out bones anywhere on your body, that once it hits, can crumble your opponents to ash from the inside. It’s always a one-hit kill. And it’s not instant, you’ll be alive as you’re crumbling to ash.”

Everyone tried to imagine what he said in their heads, and they didn't like the image their brains was portraying. Miria had an easier time trying to imagine such a devastating technique, because she read a draft of his then unnamed book ‘Child of Prophecy’, when he was writing it in his spare time.

There were a few unused sketches and inked works of the technique in action as well. It wasn’t a pleasant image in her opinion; seeing a smiling Obito crumbling into a pile of ash after saving Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi from it. It gave her nightmares… how Naruto managed to still smile after going through so many tragedies baffled her. But in the end, she wouldn’t have him any other way.

“I remember seeing unused sketches and inked works of that technique in question.” the sandy-brunette admitted. “It is a technique you will want to avoid getting hit by.”

“Right…” Priscilla muttered, “...so...let’s go see what this bitch wants.”

“Right after Harja, Susan and Hana go to bed.” Naruto said. He turned to the girls in question and added, “Be good girls and I’ll be taking you to Raby Castle for more fuinjutsu training.”

They’d also be along to have a little playtime with him, but that was left unsaid for obvious reasons.

Still, his daughters read between the lines and beamed at that.

“Yes, Daddy,” Harja chirped, grabbing Hana and Susan by the hands and urging them out of the great hall. They obliged without question as Cynthia moved to follow them out.

Before she left, though, the former Number 14 turned to her man and said, “Be careful, honey, and if you need me, don’t hesitate to call.”

“Alright,” Naruto replied with a nod. Then he looked to the remaining girls and said, “Let’s go over there now. With that plant, Himawari, having a leash on her, Kaguya won’t be much trouble. Hopefully...”

Those who weren’t in the know just gave Naruto an odd look. “...what?”

“Oh, right, I forgot to tell you this: Himawari’s the one who made her body.” Naruto shrugged helplessly at the looks he was given. “How Kaguya’s actual consciousness got into the seal is beyond me, but the flower’s the one who made her body - she can make the woman as strong or as weak as she wants her to be.”

“That is terrifying…” Miria muttered. While she’d never fought the dreaded psychic flower that had developed a bit of infamy among Naruto’s lovers, she knew damn well that Himawari’s reputation was quite thoroughly earned.

“She calls me ‘Daddy’ and is more likely to call you ‘Auntie Miria’, since you’re my wife.” Naruto added. “Won’t stop her from eating your pretty ass though. Amusingly enough, Himawari made Kaguya for her adventures.”

“Adventures?” Jean and Clare both gave him odd looks at that.

Naruto shrugged yet again, “It’s an idea I gave her to keep her happy when I weakened her. When she’s encountered in the simulation again, Himawari won’t be as strong as she was when she took on Teresa, Priscilla, Noel, Sophia, Irene, and Elda… because she was an unstoppable powerhouse.” At the last two words, Naruto’s voice went utterly flat; devoid of emotion; then he perked right up again and added, “Of course, the option to fight her at full power is there if any of you are feeling like challenging yourself.”

“I’ll pass.” Miria flatly replied. “Not until I’m feeling more confident in the western techniques I’ve been learning, at least.”

“Same here,” Glissa replied. “The flower I fried was on easy mode. There’s no way I’m ready for Himawari.”

“That’s smart of you two,” Naruto praised, “I’ll give you all a little hint for the time you’re unlucky enough to run into her again: what Priscilla and Teresa tried to do was working.”

Priscilla’s eyes glinted at that, “Burn the environment~?” she asked, looking almost childish as she looked up at him with a wide grin.

Naruto chuckled and pecked Priscilla on her forehead. “Yes. Burn the environment. Take away her ability to use senjutsu, then she can’t outright take control of you.” he replied. “That’s all I’m giving you for now.”

Everyone, Priscilla especially, filed that information away for later use.

“Alright,” Miria nodded. “Now, let’s see what this rabbit goddess wants.”

Glissa and Yuma stopped hugging Naruto’s legs so he could move. Everyone else followed him out into the bailey When he got there, the blond kneeled down and activated the sim, pulling up the inside of that cabin into view, the figure he sought floating in the middle, her legs crossed as she perked up.

“Oh, hello,” she said politely, looking surprised. “I’m hoping you’re the real one and not a construct?”

‘Yeah,” Naruto chuckled. “So, what can you tell me about this… problem you potentially see coming in the future?”

Miria really didn’t like the sound of that.

Suddenly, Giggles popped up in the room out of nowhere, startling the living shit out of Kaguya. “Hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi~!” he broke down into a fit of insane cackling, and his ever constant toothy grin grew wider when his bloodshot eyes caught those of Chloe’s, “Look who’s here! It’s the lady who ran away! Ran away, ran away, ran away~! HeheheheheheheAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”

There was a knock on the cabin door, but before Kaguya could say anything, Yami opened the door and marched on in. “Hi. Can’t talk, need to keep this idiot from making things worse for us.” the masked Naruto droned, before he grabbed Giggles’s hooded jacket and pulled him out of the room. “Now you! Follow me!”

“But I don’t waaaaaana!” Giggled whined.

“No buts!”

Kaguya, Naruto, Cassandra, Miranda, Licht, Galatea, Hysteria, Chloe, Clare, Miria, Priscilla, Jean, Glissa, Yuma, and Tabitha all watched in bewilderment as they saw the irritated Yami pulling the blood-stained Giggles out of the cabin against his will.

“...What… what just happened?” Priscilla asked oddly.

Kaguya sighed as she pinched the bridge of her nose, “That was ‘Giggles’ and ‘Yami’, the former is the blood covered one and Yami is the masked one.” she gave Naruto a flat look. “They’re self aware like that plant is, by the way. And Yami is capable of manipulating the simulation himself. Unlike a certain plant, and giggling lunatic however, Yami’s not one for breaking the rules. He’s been trying to keep them from doing so.”

“Uh… good… good to know?” Naruto said lamely. He had no idea how to react to that. Neither did anyone else for that matter. Then the blond cleared his throat and tried getting them all back on track, “So… about this potential problem you were telling me clone about?”

Glad to be getting back to the point of this meeting, Kaguya took a deep breath and got to the main point. “Very well, my brethren is scouring all of existence to find me. It’s only a matter of time before they find this world, and when they do they will take my chakra - your chakra - for themselves to sustain their immortality.”

“That much I know,” Naruto muttered, “How strong are they? Individually, you said they’re weaker than you are, but if they’re together then they can potentially kill you. And do you know how many of them are left?”

“As single individuals I can kill them. It would take me some time to do so as they have similar powers as I.” Kaguya answered, and that gave Naruto some answers to his questions; so these Otsutsuki all have similar powers as Kaguya then… it would be safe to assume they can go through other dimensions as well, then.

“I see… and how many would it take for them to kill you?” Naruto asked.

Kaguya shrugged, “Two would suffice, if they are capable of working together. Just as you, that pink haired one, and the one with dark hair defeated me by working together. And as for how many members of the Otsutsuki Clan are left… I have no idea. My body was sealed into the moon, and my other son Hamura took his clan to the Moon to I assume protect this planet and to safeguard my body. They once numbered in the thousands, but infighting had occured. I do not know of the specifics of what had caused the infighting, but half of them were wiped out in the end.” Kaguya peered up towards the sky and focused her Rinne Sharingan on the moon. She may have been weakened but she is still a goddess, and she can still sense someone of Otsutsuki lineage there on the moon’s surface. “Now, there is only one person from Hamura’s clan left on the moon. I am not sure what that person is doing up there… or what they were doing when I reappeared, but they are there now.”

“I see…” well that just gave him more questions than answers! Naruto pushed those thoughts aside and asked, “I guess that means you have no idea how many of your clan are left?”

“I have no idea. There could be hundreds, or there could be as few as ten, five, or two. I was sealed away for a millennia, after all, and a lot can happen in that time.” Kaguya shrugged. “All I know for sure is that they are out there… and they are coming.”

Well, that wasn’t ominous in anyway…

“I see, thank you for the warning.” Naruto thanked her with a respectful nod; then he let out a tired sigh and said, “Well, it looks like I got some preparation to do.” At least he’ll have some time… it might not be much, since the exact date of their arrival is unknown, but it’s still time.

Kaguya scoffed. “I still doubt it will be worth much.”

“And I still accept your challenge,” Naruto grinned impishly.

Miria blinked and gave her husband a flat look. “What challenge?” she deadpanned.

“...Basically, Kaguya said if I could defeat the ones coming after her - and she pointed out time and time again that it’s not possible - then she’d offer herself up as my broodmare…” Naruto shrugged sheepishly and added, “my clone took that as a challenge and accepted. Even if she doesn’t uphold her side of the bargain, though, I will beat them. That’s just icing on the cake if she does.”

Kaguya rolled her eyes, “I still doubt you are capable of winning. I was just one celestial being, you are going to be facing more than one.”

“And he had far more help,” Priscilla was quick to point out. “I don’t care what it takes, I will make sure my mate gets out of this alive. No one threatens my family.”

“Aw~!” Priscilla squawked in surprise when a widely grinning Naruto pulled her into a one-armed hug, “I love you too, Priss!”

Kaguya to her credit just quirked an eyebrow. Looking around she made a mental note that all the other women seemed to share the sentiment. How curious… Concubines, in her experience, didn’t tend to legitimately adore their lords as much as these ones clearly did.

“Are they your concubines?” The white haired, horned woman just had to know!

“No. They’re my wives. Well… most of them of them are. Though Hysteria and quite a few are still settling for friends with benefits. Cassandra and Miranda are my girlfriends, wanting to take it slower than the others, but a majority of them are my wives.”

“Noted…” Kaguya muttered. “How many are there in total?”

Naruto scrunched his face as he tried to think of how many women he’s in a relationship with. “...around a hundred-ish? It’s well over 50, now, that much I know.” he answered after a moment of thoughtful counting. He still needed to determine which ones were one-night stands, if any, among the trainees he’d banged.

Kaguya blushed, her mind going to places she knew it shouldn’t before she pushed those thoughts aside and cleared her throat. “Duly noted…”

Deciding to return to the point of why they came here, Miria spoke up. “Is there any information you can give up on this clan of yours?”

“It’s millenia old, but yes,” Kaguya replied. This was her garden at risk after all. “What do you want to know?”

----

Some time later, in Naruto’s bedroom, the blond in question threw a squawking Priscilla onto the bed and he threw himself on top of her before showering her with kisses. She squealed and giggled in enjoyment as Naruto hugged her close and started peeling her dress off as he kissed a trail down to her bosom. He moved up as he exposed her tits and nibbled on the brunette’s earlobe.

“You’re such a good girl,” he whispered into her ear huskily, “Saying you’d make sure your man makes it out alive, whatever it takes, like that deserves a good reward, don’t you think~?”

“I aim to please my mate,” she purred, wrapping her arms around him looking lovingly into his eyes. “I meant every word~!”

“Good~!” Naruto gave Priscilla a loving kiss on the lips. Then he pulled away and got to work on taking off the rest of her dress. Priscilla put up no resistance as he removed her only garment. Then, he spread her legs and went down on the brunette, giving the woman’s folds a long, slow lick. She shuddered pleasantly and then yelped in delight when Naruto started ravaging her cunny with a hungry growl, aggressively eating her out with the skill that could only come from a stud with well over a hundred cunts’ worth of experience.

Her brown eyes rolled to the back of her skull as she spread her legs as wide as possible, to give Naruto as much access as can possibly be given. Her hands flew to his head, her fingers tangling into his golden locks as she pulled him closer and bucked her hips invitingly.

Naruto chuckled and moaned pleasantly into her cootch, lapping away and attacking her clit without mercy. To make sure he could have a better angle, Naruto hooked his arms under Priscilla’s thick thighs and pulled her down to him while he ravaged her folds, clit and the interior of her cunt with the suction of his lips and the wiggling, exploring mass of flesh that was his tongue.

Priscilla didn’t stand a ghost of a chance, throwing her head back and wailing in orgasm as Naruto lapped and gulped down her sexual juices. Then, he withdrew and gave her a mischievous grin. Undoing his pants, his cock sprang free from its confinements and he guided his rock-hard dick to her dripping cunny; the blond then impaled his woman without hesitation, ripping another pleasured wail from Priscilla. He let out a guttural moan at the sensation of her fluttering walls around his dick. The sensation would simply never get old; hers was still the tightest cunt among his wives.

Though Harja still had her beat, the hot wet cavern still squeezed him so damn pleasantly~!

“Who’s a good breeding bitch, hmm~?” Naruto growled down at her with a teasing smirk.

Priscilla panted and giggled, giving him a longing look. “I aim to be the best one you have~!”

“I think you are the best one I have… quite a few others are damn close, but you easily have one of the tightest cunts I’ve ever fucked.” The literal goddesses he’d bedded had her beat, obviously, but out of all the ones here on the mortal plane, she was his best broodmare of them all. “Oh, I’m gonna enjoy this~!” Then, he pulled back and immediately started pounding the woman like a jackhammer.

Priscilla laid there and took it, moaning and howling her joy with a wide, dopey grin at having the shape of her ass fucked into the mattress. The strong, deep, powerful romp her mate was giving sent hot shivers up her spine.

“That’s my lovely, broodmare,” he groaned into her ear, “Lie there and take it, as you should!”

Priscilla gurgled helplessly as she came all over his thrusting dick, her inner walls clamped tightly around his cock, doing their damnedest to milk his balls for their contents. Naruto growled and slammed into her to the hilt.

“L-Love...C-cock… Love Cock… L-L-Loooove, Cuh-Cock!” was Priscilla’s broken speech.

Naruto chuckled, his balls churning at the sensation of her fluttering walls. “Here it comes,” he announced, before grabbing her hips. “Here comes a nice fat load for ya~!” Then he pulled out until only the tip remained inside, before slamming himself to the hilt one final time before painting the back of her womb white with his cum.

Priscilla shuddered once more at the feel of his wet heat flooding her loins, and her eyes rolled to the back of her skull as she orgasmed the second she felt his fluid entering her. No matter how many times she felt it, this sensation would alway prove to be just as addictive as the first time it had ever washed over her. Once the flow of his seed died down, Naruto eased himself out of his sexy brunette and laid down beside her with a satisfied sigh.

The Godslayer’s Blessing was still there, but it seemed the blessing in question had done its job in pleasing his woman. It certainly helped that the Blessing of Blinding Pleasure
automatically brought any woman he came inside to cum as well.

With a final chuckle, Naruto leaned in and kissed his lover on the cheek. Then, he went to bed, hugging the winded brunette close as she drifted off to sleep.

A few days later, back in Uzushio, several construction workers milled about, demolishing buildings that were beyond salvation to be replaced, while patching up the few and far between that just needed a few things replaced like the main compound building for the Uzumaki Clan.

Of course, there was a giant, skeletal dragon walking around the island, but no one batted an eye at that. They thought the dragon - a skeletal dragon, who knew there was such a thing! - was a summon of some type that was undiscovered. So, naturally, they didn't ask questions since it was Ninja-related and left it at that.

None of the construction workers knew that the dragon could actually transform into a sexy, silver-haired woman with golden-brown eyes. Fortunately for the dragon in question, there was a lot of tree-covered mountains and valleys on the island for her to hide and turn back to her human form.

That was a plan for later, though, as she and her little mercenary group were helping in delivering supplies from Nami and the mainland as it was quicker and less dangerous than using a ship.

Team Undine was also there, because their leader simply had to see the homeland of her hubby’s Legendary clan. Her teammates shared the sentiment to one degree or another. Needless to say, Glissa’s fine ass turned more than a few heads, though the workers did their best to hide it, given that she was Naruto’s woman… and armed.

They needn’t have worried, though, as the dark-haired awakened thoroughly enjoyed their attention. It felt good to have her natural beauty appreciated by so many. While she was still Naruto’s and his alone, the stroke it gave her ego was far from unwelcome… so long as they keep their hands to themselves, of course. Because there was only one person who could use his hands anyway he wanted. Anyway.

So long as it doesn’t hurt, of course.

With those thoughts aside, Glissa followed her teammates to see Naruto consulting the old man in charge of the construction about building an ‘eastern-style’ castle on one of the hills. There was a lot of tents around, large ones, for the construction workers and many, many, stockpiles for the materials they’re using to build the place.

Luckily the tent they’re looking for was a very large one and not hard to find. It just took the four a couple of minutes to find. It was like a tent an general uses when the army has made camp: large, wide, and spacious enough to fit a rectangular table, six comfortable chairs, a wardrobe and a queen-sized bed.

Naruto perked up upon sensing Team Undine enter the room. “Oh, hey, girls! How do you like the place?”

“Much bigger than I expected,” Zelda replied. “Just how many members did this clan have in its heyday?”

Naruto shrugged, “I don’t really know. But the ruins of the original Hidden Village was built on both sides of the river, and the buildings themselves were fairly tall it looked like. If I had to guess... I’d say there used to be 2 to 3 thousand members in the original Uzumaki Clan.” The blond shrugged again and added as an afterthought, “Maybe less than that, since there were too few survivors from the ‘Massacre of Uzushio’...”

“Uzushio was known to attract merchants from all around, so it's safe to assume that not everyone living here was a member of the clan,” the old man standing beside him pointed out.

“That’s... a good point, actually, Tazuna-san.” Naruto said with a thoughtful grunt. “Most of those buildings looked like warehouses, and there was a couple of fishing docks and what looked like a riverside tradeport. So your assumption does have weight to it.” It also made sense that they’d be so powerful, despite being a one-clan village. Political influence and military might did have a tendency to correlate with the wealth of a nation, after all. And before their near annihilation, the Uzumaki Clan were on their way to becoming a Nation themselves.

Tazuna cleared his throat and brought Naruto’s attention back to the map, “So, you want the castle to be built on top of this plateau, here?” he asked, pointing to one of the clearings Northwest of their current location.

Naruto looked where the architect was pointing and nodded. “Yeah. Putting it on top of there gives a good vantage point, and is ideal for defending.” granted he was thinking about bandits and the like, but for shinobi and kunoichi a plateau isn’t much of a defense. Which is why he’ll apply seals on the steep hill to make them unable to use chakra.

He knew a few that can prevent the area they’re written on from being molde or manipulated in any way, which would be a godsend against Doton-types and the like. Needless to say, they were commonly used on fortifications. He was certain that the Hidden Villages themselves had similar seals applied. Konoha, he knew for sure, had seals on her walls that prevented jutsu from the outside affecting the outside walls.

He just needed to make sure the seals he puts up here had some good failsafes to ensure that they don’t get hacked by anyone with half-decent knowledge of Fuinjutsu. And there was bound to be people out there with a half-decent knowledge of Fuinjutsu out there somewhere.

“I’ll take your word for it.” Tazuna said, “what about the village itself? You said you wanted it built along the riverline just like the original?”

Naruto nodded, “Yeah. But I’m planning to have a two layered wall for the village’s defense. It will be reinforced by Fuinjutsu as well, while rocking some of those eastern-style battlements and towers. The people over there have no chakra and got very different attitudes in their war culture, so they had to get pretty clever in very different ways with their conflicts, resulting in some very interesting innovations what would be pretty helpful for repelling invaders.”

“Why the double walls, though?” The man asked.

At that question, Naruto smiled, “More defense equals more time bought to assemble the troops. The invaders will have to get through the first defense, tiring themselves out for the more fresher, battle ready defenders of the second layer. The eastern styled castle on the plateau acts as a third, final layer and the attackers would be exhausted if they do manage to get past the first and second walls and push their way through the town. I also want the gates to be off-center and the outer wall will have inwards-facing battlements, if they get past the first one with a battering ram, which they’d have to, it won’t be able to make the sharp turns to get to the second one, resulting in the invaders being trapped in a killzone.”

He was also going to add some of those really old fuinjutsu he, Harja, Hana, and Susan shut down as a secret layer of defense. Of course, Naruto was going to ‘dissect’ the seal formula to see how they worked and make a few adjustments so his wives, all of whom had not a speck of Uzumaki blood in them at all, wouldn’t suddenly drop dead once they were all activated.

Tazona on the other hand could see the benefits of having a defense like that. It would make getting in the restored Uzushiogakure no Sato very difficult. The previous Hidden Village didn't even have walls to protect it. Once their seals were short circuited that was it.

“That’s rather ingenious, I’ll have to admit.” Tazuna said with a look of respect on his wrinkled, bearded face.

“That’s what I said when I first saw them,” Naruto chuckled. “Again, they were very clever. Will Inari be up to the task of helping make the houses?”

“Of course!” the man was grinning with enthusiasm and confidence, “With Yamato here, my grandson and the other carpenters will have a steady supply of wood on their hands, and we have a steady supply of stone coming in every week. Building houses from stone isn’t that uncommon either. The style of the buildings different though, but the blueprints you had shown to me of those houses showed the advantages. We’d have to make some adjustments though, for the cables, plumbing, and electricity, but it’s doable.”

Naruto grinned at that. “Cool.”

He looked forward to using what he learned here to modernize Morris if possible. He knew some of his girls would be staying behind, so the creature comforts of his homeland would at least be a nice gift.

Naruto pat Tazuna on the back, “I’ll leave you to it, then?” he asked.

Tazuna nodded with a smile. “Sure. I got everything handled.” then he paused momentarily, before adding almost as an afterthought, “It would be best if you were to leave a few Kage Bunshin though. Just in case. It would make it a lot easier to find you if you’re somewhere else.”

Naruto chuckled and nodded acceptingly, “Alright. Would 10 do?”

“Yes.”

“Alright,” Naruto made a cross seal and with a quiet mutter, made ten Kage Bunshin. He looked at them and said, “Make sure you’re close by in case Tazuna wants to talk to you.”

All ten clones saluted and said simultaneously, “Yosh!”

When all ten clones left the tent, the original Naruto looked to Team Undine and walked over to them, “So, you girls wanna come explore the island with me? It’s a perfect time for you to take in the sights.”

“That sounds like a plan,” Undine replied with a grin. “How about you bring us to that mountain you plan to build that castle on? I’m curious.”

“It’s not a mountain, it’s a plateau,” Naruto corrected with a grin, “A very, very steep hill. But sure. Follow me you sexy ladies~”

The four of them giggled and gathered around their man as he beckoned them out. Then they followed him as the blond lead them to the hill in question. It was actually a fair distance away - far enough away from the town that was planning to be built.

The hill was on a natural island that sat in the middle of the river, forming a natural moat of sorts and was just tall and sheer enough for the job while not being completely impractical. This would indeed serve as a wonderful location for a citadel, and it would appear that the Uzumaki of old had agreed on that as a small stronghold once stood there, before its remnants were demolished and cleaned out. Judging by the abundance of foreign corpses that Naruto and his daughters had cleared out during their visit here, and the extensive damage, it was safe to assume that this was where the last stand took place.

It made sense, as the road and a torn down bridge had lead to this hill from the main Uzumaki compound. Clearly, the survivors, or at least a good chunk of them, had evacuated to this stronghold during the attack and used it as their last refuge. They died trying to repel the invaders and did one hell of a job. The corpses of the invaders outnumbered those of the Uzumaki there one-hundred to one, even when counting the remains of small children!

It was a grim spectacle, but a damn impressive one…

Once they reached the top Team Undine looked around and were awed by the scenery. “Damn, this is a nice view.” Undine said as she took in the sights, ripping Naruto from his dark train of thought.

“It is,” he replied with a smile. “It gives a pretty good overview of the island. The mountainous hills and valleys also make for a good natural defense as well.”

“I’ll say.” Deneve said as she eyed their surroundings. “The location isn’t as good as Morris’s, but the location itself is a good defensive position. A castle here would be so impractical to assail that it would just not be worth the effort, especially with the village walls I overheard you describing to Tazuna.”

“Oh, I intend to make a second Uzumaki Massacre to be as close to impossible as I can,” Naruto replied with a smile. “Those outer village walls are to protect visitors and merchants, things like that. I’m gonna have it sectioned off as well, so that even if an invading force does manage to breach the main gates, they’ll only succeed in trapping themselves in another blockade, buying the defenders even more time to regroup and take them out. I also plan on having underground evacuation shelters among other things, and another inner wall surrounding the living quarters for the clan.” Naruto wanted to give his family the best defense and the highest chance of escape in the off chance they are invaded or attacked.

Sure, the nations were enjoying a state of world peace at the moment, but times change and that era of peace was bound to come to an end down the road eventually. The Shinobi Union may have been formed to prevent a war of that magnitude from occurring again… but to disrupt that peace, all it takes is the will of a single man in the right position. As Madara proved.

Nevermind the fact that entire countries and the populations thereof can be moved to war over an injustice, perceived or otherwise, as the Suna Incident made abundantly clear. Hell, the only thing stopping Konoha’s actions towards Naruto from starting a fifth Great War was the blond himself!

“Good.” Undine was happy to see that her hubby was not going to leave things half-assed. As powerful as the original Uzumaki Clan was, it seems their destruction was partially to blame on the lack of city walls to protect them. Once they got through the perimeter seals and defenders, there was little to stop the invaders from steamrolling the clan.

If they had walls on top of their seals, they could have possibly won. It would have been a pyrrhic victory at worst, but a victory nonetheless. A properly fortified stronghold, after all, was much easier to defend than to attack. The only reason it took so many to take the Uzumaki out was that they had the home field advantage in addition to all those anti-personnel seals and such. Were it not for that, it would have likely taken the Three Nation Army a fraction of the manpower to deal with them.

“So, how long will it take for this ‘Hidden Village’ to be built?” Deneve asked as she looked at her husband with a raised brow.

“It took five to six months for Konoha to be rebuilt from the ground up after she was destroyed by Nagato. I guess it’ll take the same amount of time in this case.” Naruto answered as he scratched his head with a thoughtful frown. “Mind you, there’s going to be a hell of a lot more masonry involved with this project, but that shouldn’t make it take too much longer. There’s also a lot more people working on this, in addition to my clones. I’d give it a year at most, and that’s being generous.”

“Cool.” Glissa chirped with a wide, toothy grin. “So… what else is there to do here? Apart from helping out with the building effort, of course.”

“Well,” the blond sighed, “there’s not much to be honest, outside of exploring. Soleil has her mercenary group protecting the builders while she’s acting as my ‘summon’ to help haul materials. Miria’s holding down the fort back in Morris while I go back and forth. Ophelia and Elda are here… somewhere. They’re staying away from the builders though, because they want to ‘spread their legs’ or wings, in Elda’s case.” With a thoughtful hum, he added, “I’ve got an appointment with Harja, Hana, and Susan in a couple days, too, but until then, I’m pretty much free to do whatever I want.”

Then he got an idea. “Do you girls wanna train?”

That piqued their interest to one degree or another. Deneve, being deneve, was the more collected one, giving him a cool grin, while the others were much more visibly interested.

“I’m game,” Zelda chirped.

“Same here,” Glissa added.

“Well, that settles it, then,” Undine chuckled.

“So it does,” Naruto chuckled as well. “There’s still Ophelia, Elda, and Soleil to find. I want them to join in; that is if they want to.” There’s a good chance that his ‘pet dragon’ was busy at the moment, but if she wasn’t, this was a good opportunity for her to have some fun.

“Alright, then let’s get to them then.” Undine huffed with a cocky grin.

Thanks to the Hiraishin seal Naruto put on them getting to them would only take him a second. It certainly saved him a lot of time wandering around. So, after telling Team Undine to grab on to him Naruto teleported himself and the team in question to Ophelia first.

The woman in question perked up, seeing Naruto and Team Undine pop up right next to the tree she’d taken a seat in. She grinned happily at them and sat up, “What’s up?”

Ophelia was a lot saner now than she was nearly seven years ago. She still had her moments, but that was more playful teasing rather than antagonising now. It showed just how far she came along ever since Naruto first found her wandering aimlessly around in the woods. Then again, Nissa had a lot to do with that. Having a kid proved very transformative for her.

“I’m planning on having a training session with Team Undine. Do you want to join in?” Naruto asked her with a smile.

“Oh?” Ophelia’s interest has been peaked. She didn't have a training session - without the simulation mind you - for a long time now! “Sure! I don’t mind. This could be...fun.” she hissed the last word out like a snake.

“Alright,” Naruto cheered and he offered the platinum-haired blonde his hand for her to grab, to which she did and was promptly pulled to her feet. “I have Soleil and Elda to as now. It should only take us a second.”

And with that Naruto, Team Undine, and Ophelia were teleported to Elda’s location… which was actually at the river that flowed in the middle of the old location of Uzushiogakure no Sato. She was further down ahead, though. Naked. And was using the river to skinny dip so to speak. The dull-blonde haired woman had the opportunity to do so, because no one else was even remotely close to her.

When Naruto appeared in a yellow flash, the woman casually looked in his direction with a sultry grin. “Oh, hello, there~!” she greeted him flirtatiously and didn't even bother covering up her nudity; she had nothing to hide from her man after all. “Oh, hello, there~!”

“Hi, Elda,” Naruto greeted her back with a respectful nod; then his eyes roamed her body with approval. “Enjoying yourself?”

“Yes, I am.” the woman answered with a nod, her sultry grin unchanging. Then she rolled around and crossed her arms in front of her, “So, what brings you here stud~?”

Naruto chuckled and said, “I’m having a little training session with Team Undine and Ophelia. I want to know if you want to join?”

“I would love to~!” she cheerfully answered, with a chirp like grin.

Naruto chuckled at that, “Alright, get dressed then you sexy snake woman~” he told her. “We’ll be going to Soleil after that’s done.”

Elda giggled like little schoolgirl as she pulled herself out of the river and stretched her arms out above her head enticingly. His eyes were drawn to her tits, which were big even in her human form. And that was her purpose all along: to get Naruto to look at her tits, because she knew how much he liked them.

After that she just slipped on her dark blue, sleeveless dress and a tied her golden sash around the waist, while she was still wet. That gave off another intended effect: her dress hugging her body and her erect nipples being shown through the fabric.

Naruto was hard pressed to resist bending the woman over and pounding her like a drum. But resist he did. With a deep breath to calm his nerves, the blond shook his head and gave the blonde a flat, but amused smile.

“Come on, you cock tease,” he told her, and beckoned the Awakened Being to take his hand, “Let’s go get Soleil, now,”

Elda giggled sticking her tongue out teasingly. “Alright,” she chirped. Then she walked on over to him and took his hand.

Naruto looked to Team Undine and Ophelia and said, “Make sure you’re holding on to me.” They all grabbed hold of him, or those who were holding on to him, then they were gone in another yellow flash.

Soleil was lying next to a building currently under construction as several people unloaded, lumber, crates of building materials and various other supplies off of her back when Naruto reappeared. The young blond smiled at her as the girls gave him room to walk up to his ‘pet dragon’.

“Sup Soleil, how’s everyone treating you?” he asked her.

“Fairly well,” she replied, sounding rather cheery. “I’m used to lugging things for my group, so this is nothing new.” Despite her lack of lips, Naruto could feel her lewd grin as she continued. “I could use a few more cute girls for company, though~!” She blatantly ogled Naruto’s women out the corner of her eye - Elda in particular.

Naruto chuckled as he placed his hand on her bony snout, “I’ll bet you could. I’m planning on having a little training session with Team Undine, Elda and Ophelia. I want to know if you’d like to take a break and watch? I can make several clones to help with the unloading so it can go by faster if you want to?” He wasn’t going to go and say if she wanted to join in because of how many people who weren’t in the know were around. They thought she was a summon, so why not keep up the disguise for as long as possible?

“That sounds like a plan~!” Soleil chuckled, before turning to her long-time friend, who was using a bucket as a makeshift stool as she took notes. “Hey, Robin, you wanna join in on that?”

The woman in question perked up at that and grinned. “Alright!” Figuring Soleil would probably want to do more than watch, she decided to go fetch something. “I’ll go grab my gear while you’re getting ready to go.”

“Alright,” Naruto gave the woman a nod as she hopped off the bucket. Then he looked up at Soleil and grinned, “Alright, let’s get these supplies off of you, no?”

“Sounds good to me,” she chirped.

Without another word, Naruto created several more clones and they immediately got to work, helping remove everything from her back and tying it down where directed by the workers around them.

Then, when everything was off, Soleil stood up and stretched her wings, shaking much like a dog with a pleasured groan and rattled bones. “Ah, that feels good~!” she sighed with relief. Soleil then folded her wings and sat down on her haunches as she waited for Robin to come back.

It didn’t take long, as the woman in question emerged from a nearby tent, hugging two swords a dagger, and a bundle of clothes to her chest. Seeing as Robin was already clothed, it wasn’t hard to guess who those clothes were for.

Smiling as Robin rejoined them, Naruto looked up at the giant skeletal dragon and asked, “Soleil, are you able to carry us behind a steep hill on that island over there?” the Awakened Being would have blinked, had she had eyelids, the woman nonetheless looked in the direction he was pointing towards and after a moment of contemplation she nodded.

“I can; it will only take me a minute to get us all there.” she answered; it’s out of sight, the hills are steep - almost like mountains - and covered in trees and other vegetation. She leaned down and looked at Naruto and the others, “Climb on, I’ll take us there.”

Naruto grinned before turning to the others, “You heard her!” the blond then bent his knees before leaping up and on Soleil’s back. The others, except Elda, did the same thing; the blond stayed down in order to help Robin seeing she was a little hands full.

The busty brunette was thankful for the help, though she thought it completely unnecessary since she could just use yoki to do the same thing. But she wasn’t going to look a gift horse in the mouth and accepted the help nonetheless. With Elda carrying a small portion of the clothes, and Robin the rest, the two women bent their knees and leapt onto Soleil’s back and got themselves seated and ready for take off.

“I hope you’re all seated!” Soleil announced as she spread her wings. “Because I’m about to take off!” With that, she did, blasting a cloud of dust into the air as she launched herself upwards with a mighty flap. Then she headed off to the other island and went behind one of the steep hills. When she landed in a clearing with a great THUD, her passengers slid off her back and took a look around. As they did, Soleil reverted to her human form, teasingly shaking her hips and giving Naruto a lewd grin as she accepted her clothes from Robin and Elda.

“So what’s this training exercise?” Elda asked, after she handed Soleil her clothes.

At that Naruto grinned deviously, “It’s a test. Team Undine and Ophelia had taken it before, long before you or the Crimson Guard came along. But it’s been years the last time they took it, so I’ll give a short explanation and that will hopefully refresh your memory: I’m going to test your capability to fight… and if you leave any openings, well…” he shrugged and his grin grew twice its original size, “...I molest you.”

Team Undine and Ophelia either grinned or smiled eagerly at that. Elda, Soleil and Robin were blushing and had surprised looks on their faces, though they were looking forward to this a lot more now.

“Oh, so it’s gonna be that kind of training session!” Undine eagerly cracked her knuckles with a cocky grin. “This ain’t gonna be like the last time!”

“No mud pit nearby, too bad,” Naruto said with mock disappointment. Then he grinned at the woman, and the others and said, “Then again, I can still grope or slap your asses if you leave an opening for me to exploit.”

“I certainly don’t mind,” Glissa giggled.

“So, is it gonna be like the last time? You make clones and have us treat them as if they’re Awakened Beings?” Undine asked.

“Yeah. There’s technically two teams here - yours, Undine. Elda, Ophie, Soleil and Robin make up a team as well with my loyal ‘pet’ as the leader, seeing as how she was Number Three and has a good amount of experience calling the shots.” Naruto said, looking pointedly at the Awakened women in question, with Soleil being dressed now. “So, you all are going to be fighting two clones - one for each - and your objective it to pop them.”

With Soleil dressed and ready to go, she asked, “No awakened forms, then?”

“Well you can use your awakened form, if you want.” then Naruto gave the blonde a sly grin, “But where’s the fun in that? If you were to turn into your dragon form Soleil, then how would I be able to grope your nice tits, or slap your firm ass~?”

Soleil giggled at that, loving the thought and the challenge. “Fair enough,” she chirped. “Let’s see how sturdy these clones are.”

“Alright,” after that Naruto turned and walked to the treeline. That much Undine, Zelda, Ophelia, and Deneve remembered from the first time they took this training session. He went into the treeline, and the clones sped out and tried picking off their sensors.

“The last time we took this Naruto’s first move was to take the sensors out of the fight.” Undine yelled to the newly created Team Soleil. “If this is going to be anything like that then you’d want to protest your best sensor!”

“I was a former Eye,” Soleil revealed, her ever-present smile becoming a nervous one, “So he’ll try and come for me?”

“If he sees an opening to take you out, then yes, he’ll come for you” Zelda answered. “If he can take out the eyes of the team, then it would make things easier for him and harder for us… and the last time I couldn’t even sense him since he steadily flooded the area with his yoki.”

“I can sense him though…” Soleil’s smile wavered as she looked off in the direction Naruto left in. “no, it seems there is now three Narutos instead of the one.” she frowned outright, raising all manner of red flags for Robin, “two are approaching and the third is staying in place.”

Soleil drew her sword readying herself for combat.

“Do we engage first, or wait?” Robin asked.

“It’s best to wait - the woods are his territory. Naruto’s got an advantage in them.” Deneve answered.

“Not to mention he was trained for this sort of thing,” Zelda added. “He’s going to fight dirty and strike us from angles he wouldn’t expect.”

“Stay close and don’t separate,” Undine concluded.

Just as Undine finished, a tri-pronged kunai landed right in front of her. The woman only had time to widen her eyes before a Naruto clone teleported to it in a yellow flash. It happened so fast, so instant, the former Number 11 didn't was unable to react in time.

Undine squawked like a little girl when she felt her groin get cupped by Naruto’s hand.

“Hello, cutie~!” said blond chirped.

Soleil wasted no time, closing the gap and trying to whack the clone upside the head with a crooked strike from her sword. Due to the unusual angle of attack, the clone was slightly caught off-guard and forced to retreat. “Right back atcha,” she quipped.

Luckily the sword missed by a large margin, and the clone got away unscathed. After a series of chakra enhanced backflips, Naruto gave the woman who tried attacking him a grin. “Not a bad way to attack,” he complimented, “but there’s another clone out here.” then he grinned viciously, “the boss may have said you were going to fight two clones, but he didn't say anything about us not being able to make our own clones.”

‘Oh, really?” Soleil grinned. “Good! The more, the merrier~!” her grin turned vicious itself and the blonde dashed at him, the force of her movement kicked up a trail of dirt and dust behind her, such was her speed. She poised her sword to in the middle beside her with the intent of impaling him through the abdomen, knowing full well that it wouldn’t connect.

She was proven right. The clone moved. And he moved faster than she could follow. She sensed him behind her, but before Soleil could stop and turn to face him…

Smack!

...the woman felt an rough swat on her ass and stumbled forward. She squawked and giggled on impact, whipping around so that her sword was in a rat tail guard and appeared to go for a rising cut, but it was a feint. As Naruto sidestepped the blow, he was rewarded with another crooked strike, aimed for his neck. Not at all expecting a cut from that angle, the clone was taken by surprise, but he’d dodged faster attacks than that. So the blond simply bent backwards and allowed the sword to pass in front of him, missing by mere inches. Soleil responded precisely as an expert swordswoman should… and kicked him in the nuts.

“FUCK!” Though it hurt like a bitch, he didn’t dispel as he staggered back, but Soleil, like a true warrior, didn’t give him an inch. As her foot hit the ground, she was already bringing the sword down upon his head. Then, when it cleaved his skull he, went up in a poof of smoke.

As he got the memories back Naruto winced and held his head. He didn't know what was worse: the phantom pain from the groin attack, or the one from the sword cleaving his clone’s skull. One thing was for sure though: that was a surprisingly ruthless display for such a cheerful woman. No wonder she had stuck around for so long!

The others, meanwhile, weren’t idle as they had their own Naruto to deal with… and he had friends. This clone, after seeing the other fellow clone get dispelled in such a brutal manner, had produced four of his own and they were having a field day tormenting Team Undine and the other Awakened Beings.

Seeing as Soleil was going to fight seriously, the clone figured he’d might as well take this seriously as well. Hence the clones being made; they would be a good distraction for them until he gets into Sennin Modo. Once they were made and got to distracting the two teams, their creator leapt into the treeline and sat down a few trees in, like he was going to meditate.

Cool thing about Sennin Modo, is that it empowers the user's abilities and capabilities. While he hasn’t tried it out - for obvious reasons - that could translate to durability. After all he did shatter that chakra rod Nagato tried to spear him with, with only the palm of his hand. Granted, that rod wasn’t an actual blade. It was more like a semi-dull hunk of iron that Pein was able to shove through people because of his insane chakra reserves.

Tempered steel, however, was rather good at absorbing impacts, as the swords of this continent flexed, allowing them to vibrate instead of warping or outright shattering like a katana would. So it was unlikely that her sword would actually break on impact… in theory, anyway. Since Sennin Modo also enhances the user’s physical strength, speed, stamina, reflexes, perception, and durability, it also boosts ninjutsu, genjutsu and taijutsu. So, it’s entirely possible that the clones enhanced strength can break her sword in half with a single, unrestrained punch.

Still someone with enough strength can cut him in Sennin Modo. Chloe proved that. And a sword being made of an unknown material, like the claymores his girls use, can take a beating as well. As Chloe had once more, proved.

Back with the other clones though…

One clone was dodging and weaving Undine and Deneve’s slashes and strokes. And he did it effortlessly as well. Another was doing the same to Zelda and Glissa, and at times would counter their attacks and even redirect them to each other when the opportunity showed itself.

The other two were dealing with Team Soleil. One was fighting Robin and now Soleil, dodging and weaving their slashes, thrusts, and occasional hand-to-hand. Like the clones fighting Team Undine, he would even counter and redirect them. Another was fighting Ophelia and Elda, two of the only unarmed women in said team and that clone was having an easier time with them.

He didn't get an opening to molest them though, because they were keeping the clone on his toes. If one made a mistake, the other would step in and make sure he couldn’t capitalise on it. He was impressed with their hand to hand skills actually. It could use a bit of work but it’s doing the job of keeping his hands busy.

Obviously, the ones fighting Team Undine and the one dealing with Robin and Soleil were having the most issues, because the women in question had far more experience working in units. Soleil and Robin were also doing a damn good job keeping an eye on their teammates, taking the occasional cheap shot at one clone or another when they could and thoroughly keeping the clones on their toes.

All-in-all, Naruto and his clone,s were impressed, seeing how the latter two had never received the original’s training before. They were putting up one hell of a fight; he’d expected Soleil to be the first one eliminated, after she’d been separated from the rest, but damn, did she recover! And they were even pushing their clone back! If they kept this up, he might have to test them separately, later on.

Of course, since this was a similar training session as the last time, the girls had to be aware of their surroundings as well. While they were doing a damn good job working in small teams of two against a single clone, they were more focused on them than the environment around them. And both Soleil and Zelda were distracted enough that their focus would solely be on the clones they’re fighting.

Plus, they were fighting a ninja who had access to the Hiraishin. And said ninja’s clones also had access to the Hiraishin.

And those women had the Hiraishin seal on them. So, the clones did what ninja did best: fight dirty.

As Soleil tried to go for a diagonal slash, from shoulder to hip, the clone caught the flat of the woman’s sword in his palms and strained to keep it from digging into his flesh. The strained look on the clone’s face abruptly changed to a smirk before he vanished in a yellow flash, startling the silver-haired woman immensely as she stumbled forward now that the resistance was gone. Then, she yelped and shuddered when she felt a distinctly male hand slip into her trousers and caress her womanly folds.

“Hey!” The clone immediately pulled his hand out of Soleil’s trousers, turned and grabbed Robin’s wrists when she tired to drive her daggers into his shoulders. The Naruto clone grunted in surprise when the sheer amount of strength the busty brunette put into her arms forced the blond down to a knee.

Soleil recovered in that time and tried to take off his head. Only for the clone in question to disappear in another yellow flash just before the sharp edge could sever his head from his shoulders. The clone reappeared in another yellow flash, a second later and swatted the busty brunette on her nice firm posterior. She went completely straight and squawked in surprise from the smack and would have turned around and slice into his stomach in retaliation… had the clone not followed that up with a Spartan-kick to her back and forcing the Awakened Being into her captain. Then the clone disappeared in yet another yellow flash, and reappeared in front of the two Awakened women and grabbed their faces before they could react, and pushed and slammed them down to the ground on their backs.

The clone grinned down at them.

----

Meanwhile, with the clone fighting Ophelia and Elda; the two Awakened women were holding their own against the Naruto clone using their fists and only their fists. They were also naked under their dresses and the women knew they could flash him - Ophelia had done it quite a few times during their past training session, just so she could have an edge - but they didn't resort to such tactics. Yet. No, instead the two pointy-eared women were simply enjoying themselves using their fists and nothing else. Though that didn't stop them from ‘overextending themselves’ with their haymakers and jabs and giving Naruto a nice view down the valley of their breasts whenever it came into view.

Just because they weren’t flashing him didn't mean they weren’t using other methods of distraction. And the clone was enjoying it, despite them fighting. They seemed to share that sentiment, as Ophelia and Elda were clearly holding back to draw it out for as long as possible. They were still keeping the clone on his toes, though. and didn't give him any time to make a counterattack as they attacked him one after the other.

The clone was impressed with their teamwork. Very impressed. So far he couldn’t take advantage of any openings they left, since the ‘partner’ was making sure he couldn’t take advantage of said openings. The clone was even using both of his hands to ward them off; Elda for his left hand and Ophelia for his right. Then the clone decided to kick things up a notch, and caught the fists of Elda and Ophelia in the palm of his hands. The two women were surprised when Naruto’s eyes became decidedly more vulpine like with a difference: his now slant pupils remained blue rather than bleeding to blood red.

This Naruto clone was using Kurama’s chakra, but he was only using enough of it to make only his eyes change a slight bit. Once they saw his eyes change, Ophelia and Elda both instinctively knew they were going to be put on the defense.

Their instincts was right.

Grabbing their wrists so fast his hands moved like a viper, the clone yanked the two Awakened women to him and with a jump he drove his knees into their stomach. The force of the impact expelled the air from their lungs and they hunched over, with spittle spitting from their mouths; the clone didn't stop there however. Planting his his feet to the ground once again, the clone bared his teeth and without relinquishing his grasp he turned, pulling the pointy-eared women with him and threw them several yards across the clearing.

They went with the momentum and rolled along the ground, only to right themselves on their last spin and look up at him as they got up in a kneel. Ophelia squint her eyes at him; it was a dangerous action, one that told the clone the platinum blonde wasn’t going to hold back any longer. Elda was of the same mind since she cracked her knuckles. The two women exchanged looks briefly, shared a nod, before they snapped their heads back at the clone as their eyes changed to gold with their pupils slanting, and becoming more feline-like in looks.

They weren’t going to transform; just increase their own strength, endurance and speed enough to hopefully overwhelm the clone. Then the two blondes leapt up and quickly dashed at him, their fists reared back to give him a haymaker to the face.

For just a moment, a split second really, Naruto from Kurama’s memories of when he was sealed inside of Madara, had seen Obito and Kakashi in Ophelia and Elda’s place. The clone smirked, and when they threw their fists forward, he deflected their fists and punches with little difficulty. The last time they had him on the ropes, they were the ones who were pressing forward and him being pushed back. This time however, they were on the receiving end. Naruto was assaulting them and having plenty of experience fighting multiple people by himself - some of them were his own clones for training, Ophelia and Elda were finding themselves hard pressed to keep him a bay.

“Holy…” Elda dodged a haymaker by leaning to the side, “...You’re good!” she shouted with genuine surprise. “How often do you fight with your fists?!”

The clone smirked, “Quite a lot.” he answered. It was vague, but at the same time, it said a lot.

Elda grinned as she decided to try something. “Noted… let’s see how good you are, then~!” With that, her yoki spiked and the former Number Six’s arms split in two, forming into four separate arms with wickedly-clawed fingers. They weren’t as big as the comically large, and deadly sharp clawed hands in her awakened form. Her hands were around the same size, but with the white skin. Now partially transformed, she didn't waste a second; the woman quickly transitioned into a flurry of punches and claw swipes to test his skill.

She was very impressed with the clone, and in turn her mate, when he deflected her punches and seemingly effortlessly and expertly, dodged and weaved through her swipes. She grinned widely at the display. “Very nice,” she praised. “I’m half-tempted to just call it quits and let you have your way with me~!”

“If this was a real fight, and I was a real enemy, you would have been dead if you just gave up. Or worse.”

“I know,” she giggled. “I’ve been around for longer than your ‘granny’; I’m just saying, because that’s not the case.”

The clone smiled, even as Elda put more effort into her assault, and forced him to multitask in keeping an eye on all four of her arms, and moving his own pair of arms fast enough to block, deflect or outright redirect them to another angle. “From what I’ve seen so far from you Elda, back at home you would be a ‘high jonin’ in terms of Taijutsu.” Naruto told her; and that was rather appropriate, since the woman was Number 6 in the Organization. “I’m impressed~!”

Of course, he completely forgot about Ophelia and she gleefully took advantage of his forgetfulness. While Elda and the clone were busy fighting one another, the platinum-haired beauty snuck behind the male before she went and wrapped her left arm around his neck, and her right hand on the left side of his face. The clone grabbed her arm out of pure reflex, and left himself open for Elda’s retaliation. It was a lose-lose situation.

Elda gleefully took advantage of her situation, brutally dispelling the clone by pummeling him to death.

The real Naruto grunted in discomfort and held his chest, where his heart was, as he received the memories of the recently dispelled clones. The clone Undine and Deneve were fighting had been beheaded by the latter, after the former had pinned him down to the ground with her claymores pinning him to the ground, scissor style. The one Elda and Ophelia was fighting had been beaten to death by the former. That woman broke his ribcage, and the broken rib pierced his heart - that was what killed him.

He did not like the feeling of having his heart get pierced or having his head separated from his shoulders. Still, though, two clones were down and out so they had three left to go.

With their own opponent out of the way, Ophelia and Elda charged forth to aid their captain, Soleil. The woman in question gurgled pathetically as she was fingered from behind, her partner having been sent careening across the field. Again. Her mate’s skillful ministrations simply proved too much for the former Number Three.

Of course, the clone in question had to abandon his molestation of Soleil when Ophelia and Elda came to relieve her. The silver-haired woman fell to her knees as he retreated, narrowly escaping Elda’s claw swipes. Ophelia on the other hand helped Soleil to her feet and allowed the woman to brace herself against her. The flustered woman was still a bit wobbly, brought to near orgasm in mere seconds when that clone molested her. It was staggering! She gave Ophelia a thankful nod, before fetching her sword and readying herself to reengage.

Robin, meanwhile hopped to her feet and leered at the clone. “Well… if you’re feeling so handsy,” she commented, “I guess I should return the favour, then…” she shed her blue coat and her yoki spiked.

Suddenly, several-dozen long, feminine arms shot forth from her torso as she transformed. They wove together into a large mass resembling a massive clam shell the size of a small house. When it opened, her nude torso was revealed in the center, three times its original size. Her hair was now black with a purple sheen and her glowing, violet eyes gave off an aura of playful malice as she grinned impishly at the clone who’d been tormented her and Soleil.

She didn’t use this form often, due to its relative lack of mobility, but it had its advantages...

Dozens of hands shot forth on stretching limbs at lightning speed, careening towards the clone with the intent to snatch him up. And snatch him up she did. The clone felt her yoki spike, but Elda kept him distracted long enough for Robin to catch.

A pair of hands grabbed his arms, “What the-” He was too discombobulated from the sudden change in velocity to react any further as he was reeled in and then, the ‘clam’ snapped chut.

An instant later, there was a poof and a shudder from the original as he received the memory of being literally ripped apart by what seemed like thousands of hands. They were everywhere!

“That’s gonna give me nightmares…” the original groaned discomfitingly. At least he saw Robin’s massive tits before she tore the clone apart. Her tits were bigger than Elda’s! It was honestly impressive.

With Team Soleil’s clones taken care of, they were free to help Zelda and Glissa with their clone. He was already engaging Undine and Deneve when the second team charged started giving him hell, so he was understandably getting a bit nervous at the sight of the other team ganging up on him, but he hid it well.

The clone ducked and weaved between the limbs Robin sent his way. He evaded Elda’s flurry of blows and the fireball and lightning bolt that Zelda and Glissa sent his way. A well-timed shunshin prevented him from getting trapped in the mud pit that the latter formed as well and Undine charged alongside Deneve to try and chop him up, also to no avail.

----

Off in the treeline, the original was very impressed by their teamwork. They only had two clones left to fight; but once the one they’re fighting is dispelled, they’re going to be put through a tough fight since that one’s already in Sennin Modo. He was just waiting for the perfect opportunity to catch them off guard.

How does he know this? That is a very simple question to answer: it’s what he would have done.

The last remaining clone, of the original clone, was hard pressed to keep himself ahead of the game. They were just so goddamned relentless! Despite preferring to jump into the fray, metaphorical dick-first, like their captain, Glissa and Zelda seemed pretty content with long range attacks alongside Robin while the other girls swarmed him to the best of their abilities, and... those ladies were going all out.

Ophelia and Elda were clearly trying to keep his attention, even going so far as to occasionally flash him, now, while Undine, Deneve, and Soleil did their best to flank him.

The clone, despite being assaulted from all sides, from every direction imaginable, was keeping them at bay. It was an impressive feat, and despite having experience fighting multiple opponents - which he normally won by overwhelming them by making hundreds of Kage Bunshin or just tricking them - he was keeping up with them and at times out preformed them! He didn't even resort to using any jutsu, other than taijutsu!

Then, he realized that Ophelia and Elda had shed their clothes entirely, but hadn’t transformed. Well, transformed any further in Elda’s case. That actually proved to be far more distracting than it should have been…

“Urk!”

...because Deneve ran him through the abdomen with her claymore. He dispelled into a cloud of smoke not a second after. Deneve took a defensive stance and looked around.

“...Is it over?” Undine asked aloud.

Deneve shook her head. “No. There’s still a clone out there.”

Soleil spread her senses and frowned. She could sense the original but… “I can’t sense him.” she revealed with her smile returning, and it was noticeably strained.

“...Neither can I.” Zelda added with a worried frown. “I can sense Naruto, but not his clone,”

The clam-shaped-mass of hands opened up, to reveal the large, and naked upper body of Robin. Her breasts jiggled enticingly as she crossed her arms beneath them and made the moulds of titflesh more pronoinced, “Is it possible that the clone is using the same method the real Naruto used to mask his presence the last time you took a test like this?”

Not put off by the woman’s nudity, or that she was now a clam made entirely out of arms, Undine nodded. That was entirely possible. She turned to Glissa and asked. “You think you can sniff him out?”

The woman in question frowned and shook her head. “Those clones of his have no scent,” she revealed. “I don’t know where he is, and if Zelda and Soleil aren’t able to find out where he is that’s bad…”

“Heads up!” Elda shouted, running forth as their target leapt from the shrubbery. But, when the girls charged him, he disappeared in a shunshin and reappeared behind them, giving Glissa a firm swat on the ass, drawing a squawk from her.

“You have no idea how badly I’ve wanted to do that,” he growled sexily. The clone made sure to keep his strength under control, now that he was in Sennin Modo he was in a class of his own. It wouldn’t do if he hurt the Boss’ - and in turn his - lover by accident. He could turn her to pulp if he wasn’t careful. He was that strong! This was going to be one hell of a fight for them, to say the least. They’d have to give it their all if they were to have and hope of… wait, why was the world spinning?

The other women present all stared in befuddlement as Robin’s ‘clam shell’ slammed shut. Seconds later, the black and orange outfit that the clone had been wearing was expelled with a lewd, feminine giggle.

“Well… that was rather anticlimactic,” Soleil commented with an amused grin.

“Yeah, I’m gonna go ahead and qualify that as a victory, ‘cause those two are gonna be busy,” the original Naruto added as he emerged from the treeline. “I wasn’t expecting that to be honest.” he admitted with a sheepish chuckle.

“I don’t think anyone was,” Deneve pointed out bluntly, though she was also visibly amused.

“Well… I think this is gonna be the last time I set a test like this from here on out.” Naruto sighed.

“Eh?! Why!?” a surprised, wide-eyed Undine demanded.

“Well for one I remember everything that was done to my clones. I remember getting my head cut off. I remember Elda brutally beating me to death, I remember Deneve running me through and I also remember Robin ripping me apart.” Naruto flatly told her.

They winced at that. Yeah… now that they thought about it, the memory feedback from those clones must’ve been unpleasant to the highest degree.

Then, he perked up, becoming far more cheerful as he flashed them all a proud grin. “But that’s alright. You girls pass with flying colours! The whole point of this exercise was to see if you were working well with Glissa, Team Undine. And there’s nothing left to teach you in that department. The same goes for Soleil’s team. I wanted to see how the new recruits did. She and Robin passed as well, They worked well together with Ophie and Elda.”

Soleil beamed at that and if she had a tail, it would be wagging right about now.

Elda, meanwhile, retracted her extra pair of arms, before practically materializing right behind Naruto, mashing her tits against his back. “I think Robin has the right idea, by the way,” she whispered into his ear.

“I agree,” Glissa chimed in with an impish grin. “Why should she be the only one reaping the spoils~?”

Naruto blushed and grinned nervously at the sight of the other ladies eyeballing him hungrily. Deneve was looking uncharacteristically shy among them, still a bit self conscious about her sex addiction. But, at the same time, she looked eager to join in.

Ophie and Elda (who was still pressing her bare tits against his back) were still naked as well, eyeballing him with wicked, lewd grins.

“Uhhh heh heh heh, now now girls, I’m tired, this isn’t the-”

“You haven’t been fighting at all,” Elda pointed out with a low, lustful purr. She and Naruto watched as Ophelia strode on over to her mate, child bearing hips swaying from side to side with every step she took.

“You don’t get to make any excuses.” Ophelia added on to the words of her fellow Awakened.

“Everything that my clones experience are transferred back to me. That includes fatigue.” Naruto shot back with a pointed look. Granted, it would take several dozen clones to knock him out but if his clones are tired, then he will get tired if they’re dispelled en masse.

...That explained why that clone Robin snatched up was ‘defeated’ so easily, now that he thought about it. Four clones were fighting for their ‘lives’ and they were getting tired. That tiredness was transferred to their creator when they were dispelled - and that would go back to him when his clone finally dispels.

Though from the lewd giggles he could hear from within Robin’s… uh… clam thing, that dispelment might not be for a while. A Long While.

And yes, the capital letters were put in there on purpose.

“You’re not protesting~” Glissa giggled impishly and she went up and put her hands on his broad chest, “Please, m’lord, allow us faithful servants tend to your needs. Allow us to state your lusts~!”

“Ooh, I like the sound of that,” Soleil chirped; then she appeared beside Glissa with a coy look on her face, “Please, Master, let your pet service you, too~!”

Poor Naruto couldn’t help but blush at that if his life depended on it. Her very voice sounded so suggestive, so enticing! Then he heard the sword of clattering metal and when he looked, Naruto found Undine’s sword on the ground - well, one of them was. The other one was stuck in the ground top first.

Then Undine grinned impishly at him, making Naruto wary of what she was going to do next. Then the woman rapidly made several hand seals, and focused chakra into a seal that was on the back of her hand, that glowed and surprised Naruto a lot because he didn't see it there, and the next thing Naruto knew his wife was enveloped by a smoke cloud.

“Oh~!” Ophelia grinned impishly, as she leaned against Naruto’s side and rested her head on his shoulder, “I wonder what she’s up too?”

As the smoke dissipated a tent formed in Naruto’s trousers as he saw what Undine was now wearing. With the help of the unique seal on the back of her hand, Undine had swapped out her usual attire for the loose, purple harem outfit that Naruto had grown so fond of.

It wasn’t a henge either, it was a legitimate clothes swap engineered by the seal Undine had ‘stuck’ to the back of her hand. It was one that worked by removing her clothes, storing it in the seal, and taking out the other clothes that was stored inside of said seal and putting it on her. The smoke cloud was something of a smokescreen, to protect her modesty; Undine wouldn’t have given a shit who would have seen her naked or not. She was used to it, in her former line of work, her uniform did get damaged plenty of times and she had to change on the spot in her new one after receiving it.

Naruto licked his lip when Undine walked on over to him with a sway of her hips, “Well, if you insist,” he chuckled nervously. There was no stopping these girls when they wanted their Naruto-time.

That was all the permission they needed...
