xXx Flashback xXx

"AH!" Exclaimed Naruto as he noticed Kakashi-sensei approaching the position where he was hung upside-down by a rope attached to his legs.

"Think before using a jutsu, or it could be used against you." Stated Kakashi-sensei as he bent over and picked up the bell he had used as bait for the trap that Naruto now found himself hanging in, "And also… don't fall for such obvious traps, baka!"

At this statement Naruto got rather aggravated and exclaimed "DAMNIT!"

However Kakashi-sensei apparently wasn't finished with his lecture, "A Shinobi must be able to see what's underneath the under-"

Naruto growled and exclaimed "I know that!"

Kakashi-sensei seemed unimpressed and said "Uhm… I'm telling you this because you don't know…"

xXx End Flashback xXx

Naruto hated to admit this, but at the time, Kakashi-sensei was absolutely correct, Naruto had no idea what Kakashi was talking about; but now? Now Naruto was beginning what it meant to 'see underneath the underneath.'

"Suiton: Daibakufu no Jutsu (Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique)" exclaimed Kakashi-sensei while holding his hands in the final bird seal for the technique.

"What!? Impossible!" exclaimed Momochi Zabuza, the man who Naruto and his team had been fighting.

Almost instantaneously a large swirl of water originating from Kakashi-sensei erupted and slammed into Zabuza sending him crashing through several trees.

Almost as soon as Zabuza landed, Kakashi began performing hand signs again, this time Monkey - Dragon - Rat - Bird - Ox - Snake - Dog - Tiger - Monkey. When he finished forming the hand signs he declared "CHIDORI (One Thousand Birds)!" which created a large burst of electricity that appeared in the palm of his hand, and he began running at the now crippled Zabuza.

This did not sit well with Naruto. Despite the fact that Momochi Zabuza had been trying to kill them mere moments ago, Naruto couldn't help but feel that Zabuza was one of the good guys. Thus he couldn't help but feel that killing him like this was completely uncalled for.

As such Naruto called out "Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Multiple Shadow Clone Technique)!"

Suddenly the battlefield was filled with over one thousand copies of Naruto, each one of them just as physically real as the original, and each and every one of them having halved the chakra reserves of the others upon appearing. Not that Naruto or any of his clones really noticed a difference in their Chakra levels as Naruto had an absolutely Superhuman, almost Godlike Chakra Reserve thanks to being the container of the Nine-Tailed Bijū.

In a matter of seconds over twenty clones had placed themselves in-between Kakashi-sensei and Zabuza, while another forty Clones dogpiled Kakashi-sensei. The vast majority of the remainder drew all manner of Shurikens, Kunai and assorted other weapons and targeted on Kakashi-sensei preparing to use Naruto's newly developed attack 'Shihōhappō Shuriken (All Direction Shuriken)' should Kakashi-sensei give him no other choice.

Naruto's efforts payed off, Kakashi-sensei's attack wasted itself on three of his clones and was dispelled, and then the remainder of his clones were able to drag Kakashi-sensei to the ground.

"Ugh… Naruto-baka, what are you doing?" Kakashi-sensei growled out under the clones.

Naruto was saved the need to answer when two Senbon Needles flew from out of nowhere and impacted Zabuza's neck in a manner that would to all appearances give the impression that it would have killed Zabuza instantly. Naruto however wasn't so sure as there was a distinct lack of blood coming from the wounds.

"Thank you very much." said a masked Shinobi whose hair was up in a bun and was wearing clothes that did a very good job of disguising his or her gender, "I have been searching for the opportunity to kill Zabuza for a long time."

Kakashi granted from underneath the clones of Naruto, looked at the mysterious Shinobi and said "That mask… you're a Kirigakure Hunter-nin…"

"...Impressive… you are correct." the mysterious Shinobi stated.

Naruto was confused and said as such, "Hunter-nin!?"

"Yes, my duty is to hunt down Nukenin (Missing-nin). I am a member of Kirigakure's Hunter-nin Corps." explained the mysterious Shinobi.

The Shinobi disappeared from the tree in a swirl of leaves, only to reappear in front of Zabuza "Your battle is now over… and now I must dispose of this body. Since it seems to be a body with many secrets… farewell…" the Shinobi and Zabuza's corpse, assuming he was really dead, disappeared in a swirl of leaves.

"WHAT THE HELL NARUTO-BAKA!" Kakashi roared as soon as Naruto had released his shadow clones.

"Huh?" Naruto asked.

"WHY DID YOU STOP ME FROM ENDING ZABUZA?" Kakashi seemed to be really upset for some reason.

"I don't know, it just seemed wrong to kill him like that." Naruto stated while cleaning out one of his ears with his pinky finger.

"BAKA!" exclaimed Sakura-chan, "He was trying to kill us and our client. Killing him first was the right thing to do!"

Naruto looked at Sakura confusedly for a few moments, but then Sasuke decided to chip in with his two-Ryō worth, "Naruto-baka, if you didn't notice, Hunter-nin are supposed to dispose of the corpse at the scene of the kill. Since that did not happen here it is entirely likely that this Hunter-nin is in cahoots with Zabuza, and the man is still alive. This means that he could attack us again. You have endangered the mission. You should return to Leaf as you are of no further use to us on this mission."

"I agree!" stated Sakura.

Kakashi eye-frowned. While he would love for Naruto to return to the Leaf, it would be irresponsible for him to allow a Genin to return to the village without supervision from a Jōnin. Unfortunately it seemed that the decision was going to be taken out of his hands…

"Fine! What do I care, see you all later LOSERS!" stated Naruto as he ran off into the woods in the completely wrong direction.

"Oh great! And it would be problematic to go after him because we still have a mission to complete. Just my luck. Come on, let's get Tazuna to his home. Hopefully Naruto will find us. Thanks alot you two, this Mission just became a whole heck of a lot more difficult." stated Kakashi.

xXx Two Hours Later xXx
xXx Deep in the Woods xXx
xXx Land of Waves xXx

Naruto couldn't really remember how long he had been running, but he suddenly had to come to a complete halt, for in front of him stood a rather large fortified wall, and on the door to the wall was a symbol that Naruto knew rather intimately. The symbol on the door of this structure was that of the Uzumaki Clan.

Walking up to the door Naruto put his hand upon the door. As soon as he did, the large swirly pattern glowed slightly and the door creaked open allowing him entry. Inside he discovered that there were were two buildings.

The first building turned out to be some sort of barracks or something of that nature. The second building however appeared to be a research laboratory complete with a small library of scrolls.

Naruto decided he would go ahead and browse through these scrolls. Over the next several hours Naruto discovered scrolls on a large variety of subjects.

With the aid of the scrolls Naruto was able to learn several new Jutsu including Kongō Fūsa (Adamantine Sealing Chains), Hakke no Fūin Shiki (Eight Trigrams Sealing Style), Shishō Fūin (Four Symbols Seal), Hīringu Hitokuchi (Heal Bite), Uzumaki no Fūinjutsu (Uzumaki Sealing Technique), as well as the theory for Shiki Fūjin (Dead Demon Consuming Seal) and Shiki Fūjin: Kai (Dead Demon Consuming Seal: Release).

He also discovered scrolls detailing a wide variety of experiments that the Uzumaki Clan had been performing, many of these experiments had never really been completed. But one of the experiments looked to be incredibly close to completion.

The experiment was an attempt to absorb the power of a tailed beast into a Jinchuriki. The entire process was detailed. However every time they attempted to perform the Jutsu they came up with, no matter what happened the technique would be rejected for some reason. The theory they came up with is that a single humans body just could not tolerate the entirety of a tailed beast's chakra being unleashed upon their chakra network like that, which is why the technique continued to be a failure.

Naruto smirked. If it was simply a matter of spreading the Chakra out across multiple bodies, then Naruto could do that.

Standing up and walking outside Naruto exclaimed "Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" creating his over 1,000 clones. Then he and all his clones went through the experiment's necessary hand signs and exclaimed "NINGEN NO CHAKURA NO HENKAN-TEN NI BIJŪ CHAKURA!" (A/N: Not sure of exact wording, but intended translation is 'Tailed-Beast Chakra to Human Chakra Conversion Point')

Almost as soon as he and his clones had made the exclamation, they all fell unconscious.

xXx Tazuna's House xXx
xXx After the Sun had Set xXx

Kakashi had been sitting on the patio wondering where his wayward student had gotten to when he noticed a bright flare of red chakra off in the distance. "For a flare of that size and color to occur… oh my... "

xXx The Cage of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox xXx

"WHAT!? What is this? What is happening?" Shrieked Kurama.

He could feel his Chakra being stolen from him. And not just the small amount that the blond brat usually filched when performing his paltry Jutsus. No, in this case ALL of his Chakra was being stolen from him. Unfortunately because of that damned seal he couldn't do anything about it.

Oh and it got worse, it wasn't just his Chakra that was leaving him, but his ability to master Jutsu was apparently leaving him as well. In fact now that he really concentrated on the situation, he could tell that virtually everything that made him the feared Nine-tailed Demon Fox was being siphoned off somewhere, but damned if he knew where it was going. It had to have been something that punk kid had done, but what could it have been?

Fortunately it seemed he was being allowed to retain his sense of self, at least for now.

xXx Twenty Four Hours Later xXx
xXx Uzumaki Compound xXx

Slowly but surely Naruto and all of his over a thousand clones began waking up. Standing up Naruto stated "Kai! (Release)" and in a massive puff of smoke all his Shadow Clones vanished. As soon as they were gone Naruto noticed an absolutely MASSIVE surge in the amount of Chakra he had at his disposal.

It was incredible. It felt like he had an unlimited supply of the stuff. This was unbelievable. Naruto began to jump up and down in excitement, however that very first jump startled him, instead of jumping only a foot or two off the ground he jumped over twenty feet straight into the air and without a running start at that!

"What the hell?" Naruto asked when he had landed again.

Confused and wanting to test to see if he had any other new physical abilities Naruto walked over to a large rock, pulled back his fist and thrust it forward into the rock.

To Naruto's surprise it wasn't his fist which ended up damaged… rather the rock, which would be better termed a small boulder, ended up having a small impact crater in its side about 10 inches in diameter and a foot deep.

Naruto had to hold back a grin, all he could think is that his always substandard Taijutsu had just gotten turbo-boosted and he didn't even have to put any work into it!

Deciding to spend a bit of time perfecting his use of the Adamantine Chains, and perfecting his own Taijutsu style, Naruto summoned Several Clones and got to work practicing.

xXx Six Days Later xXx

Naruto had discovered over the course of his time practicing that a great many things were now clearer to him. For example, he could now perform the basic Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Technique) to go right alongside of the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique). Additionally he had figured out a method by which to make the chakra in his Shadow Clones unstable so that they would explode violently when popped instead of dissipating in a puff of smoke.

He had also perfected the Oiroke Gyaku Harem no Jutsu (Sexy Reverse Harem Technique), the Oiroke: Otokonoko Dōshi no Jutsu (Sexy: Boy on Boy Technique) for which he was currently using Sasuke and Shikamaru as models as they were widely considered the two most attractive guys in the academy by the fangirls, as well as Oiroke: Onnanoko Dōshi no Jutsu (Sexy: Girl on Girl Technique).

Interestingly, he had also seemingly at some point developed the ability to sense the emotions of his Shadow Clones, or at least the negative emotions at any rate.

Having mastered all these abilities, and having finally calmed down from his argument with his team, Naruto decided to go back to them. He had already discovered the fact that whatever his Shadow Clones experience, he manages to retain the memories of once the Shadow Clone is popped. In fact he learned that the first day after waking up from the experiment.

So having learned that he had sent about a dozen Shadow Clones out on reconnaissance of the surrounding area. What he had discovered was that Momochi Zabuza was indeed still alive, that the Hunter-nin was also indeed on Zabuza's side, and that the Hunter-nin was actually a rather hot chick (yes, he spied on her while she was taking a shower, no, he isn't ashamed of it).

He also had a clone find the way back to his teammates but avoided alerting them to his Clones presence. In doing so he was able to learn several interesting things.

Firstly is that neither Sakura or Sasuke were particularly apologetic for the falling out between the three of them. Kakashi, while still mad about not having been able to finish Zabuza off was also rather worried about the safety of Naruto, which surprised Naruto considerably. Tazuna was also worried about the safety of Naruto, as was his daughter Tsunami, meanwhile the punk kid of a son of hers just rubbed Naruto the wrong way.

Having just finished his training, or at least as much of it as was humanly possible given what the scrolls contained… no way he was practicing either variant of Shiki Fūjin (Dead Demon Consuming Seal) considering that it involved summoning the freaking Kami of Death and one of the two was classified as a Suicide Technique which of course marked both of them as Kinjutsu (Forbidden Techniques)... Naruto decided it was time to return to civilization. So packing the scrolls up in his backpack, as they all technically belonged to him as the Heir to the Uzumaki Clan, Naruto began the long trek back.

xXx Three Hours Later xXx
xXx Tazuna's House xXx

Naruto had just arrived at Tazuna's house to discover that the front door of the house had been cut to ribbons and that two men, who had seemingly failed to notice him were standing in the doorway.

"Are you Tazuna's daughter? Sorry, but you're coming with us." stated the shorter of the two men.

That was all Naruto needed to hear for him to take action. Out of his chest twenty chains erupted and slammed into the ground. Those chains sprouted upwards again from the ground directly in front of the goons separating them from Tsunami before slamming into the ceiling and disappearing into it. The then reappeared from the ground directly behind the two goons and shot straight at the flat-footed thugs impaling them in a most magnificent manner before dragging them out of the house and hanging them up on a nearby tree. Once that was done the chains all disappeared.

Naruto entered the house and said "Sorry about the mess. I will be putting up a barrier to keep you safe. I assume by the fact that they didn't come rushing to your defense that the entirety of the rest of my team is currently at the Bridge?"

Tsunami looked gobsmacked as she looked at the young man, her emotions whirling around inside of her head and confusing her immensely. She is a twenty-nine year old young lady, this young man can't be more than thirteen years old, yet for some reason she couldn't seem to help herself from thinking that she had never seen someone who was more sexy than this young man in her life.

"Er… um… yes… of course… they went to the bridge." Tsunami stated with a vague glassy look in her eyes.

"Thank you Miss, you have been most helpful." Naruto stated with a bow. He stepped outside the house again walked a few feet away and slammed his hands into the ground.

This resulted in hundreds of gold colored chains erupting from the ground and becoming a network of crisscrossing chain links that formed a hemispherical dome surrounding the house. Once the chains were in place, a soft blue glow came into existence sealing the interior of the dome off from the exterior world until such time as Naruto came around to remove the seal.

Naruto then swiftly departed the area heading for the bridge, leaving behind a horribly confused Tsunami.

xXx A Short While Later xXx
xXx Tazuna's Bridge xXx

As Naruto arrived at the Bridge, he had to stop to appraise the situation for a moment. The first thing he noticed was that he could see perfectly clearly despite the fact that there was mist covering the entire battlefield that SHOULD be obscuring his vision.

The second thing he noticed was that Sakura had for some reason left Tazuna undefended despite the fact that Zabuza was standing less than twenty feet from the man. Deciding that Tazuna took priority over anything else on the field Naruto slammed his hands to the ground causing golden chains to erupt from the ground surrounding Tazuna and form a much smaller and more compact dome around the man complete with the soft blue glow signifying that the man was now completely cut off from the outside world until Naruto removed the barrier.

Naruto then decided to continue his assessment of the battlefield and quickly discovered Kakashi was in a standoff with Zabuza. Naruto decided that he would let Kakashi vent his frustration regarding their previous encounter without Naruto's interference this time.

That led him to the last section of the battlefield where he discovered that Haku-chan had erected a dome of segmented ice with just enough room in between the segments for Naruto to sneak inside of them. That was what led Naruto to the discovery that Sasuke was inside of the dome, and from what he could tell from here, Sasuke didn't appear to be faring too well.

Making up his mind in a split second Naruto rapidly traversed the distance between himself and the mirrors and stepped inside. All without actually announcing his presence to Sakura and Kakashi. It was only upon hearing Sakura's voice screaming "WHAT THE HELL" that he realized his chain barrier had been discovered.

Once inside the Ice based Fun House as it appeared to be, Naruto looked up at the mirrors and cheekily stated "Hello Haku-chan!"

The figure in the various mirrors cocked her head to the side in mild confusion.

Sasuke who was on the ground in pain glared at Naruto and said "chan?"

"Oh yes, Haku over there is a stunningly beautiful girl if what I saw of her in her showers was anything to go by."

The figure in the mirrors actually fell to her knees and said "showers?" as several of the mirrors developed cracks due to a considerable loss of focus on Haku's part.

"Ah, yes, but perhaps before we continue this, I should ensure that we remain uninterrupted. It would be such a pity if Zabuza had to come and rescue you… or you decided to flee this contest for any reason, now wouldn't it?" Naruto stated as he slammed his hands into the ground and chains erupted from the ground on the exterior of the dome of ice mirrors and proceeded to surround it in a dome of chains and create a barrier that sealed the combatants inside both domes.

Haku who had been watching the chain's progress looked back at Naruto and asked "What did you just do?"

"That was one of my Clan's Hiden Techniques. This particular technique has several applications, offensive, defensive, and supplementary. The particular application I just used enables me to erect a barrier that is one hundred percent impenetrable by any force known to the Kami's. The only way's to breach it is either by killing me, or if I purposefully dismantle it." Naruto stated. He paused momentarily and chuckled to himself, "These chains are sufficiently powerful that they can fully restrain forces as strong as the Bijū for extended periods of time, just to put this into perspective for you."

"So my only option here is to kill you?" Haku asked.

"Oh, I am hardly going to make it that easy for you." Naruto stated as he casually walked up to one of the uncracked mirrors, drew back a fist and slammed it forward into the surface of the mirror.

From the point of impact thousands and then millions of tiny microfractures spread out across the surface of the mirror and then all at once the mirror shattered into hundreds of millions of shards of ice.

Naruto looked up at one of the various images of Haku and said "How many of these mirrors do you think it will take me punching before I find the one you are currently hiding in?"

Haku visibly gulped in fear. "That… that shouldn't be possible. Those mirrors are virtually unbreakable!"

"Yeah, about that… earlier this week I discovered I have sufficient physical strength to lift a boulder the size of a shed with one hand. So you what was that you were saying about the unbreakability of your mirrors?" Naruto asked.

While all of this was happening Sasuke found he couldn't do anything but gape at the kid who up until last week was considered the Dobe of the Konohagakure Shinobi Academy. What the hell happened in the past week that had changed Naruto sooo much? Sasuke also noticed that Naruto was acting oddly out of character of his usual behavior. There was no boasting, there was no hyperactivity. Rather Naruto was deathly calm, cool, and collected. He appeared to be completely in control of his emotions for a change. And that more than anything was frightening to Sasuke.

However, Sasuke and pretty much everyone else would soon enough discover that Naruto's current behavior could very much be described as being very similar to the calm before a storm. It would only be with the help of certain calming influences that Naruto wouldn't end up going on a mass-murdering rampage the likes of which even Sabaku no Gaara would be capable of paralleling.

"So Haku-chan, how about instead of us slowly trying to kill each other off, during which I assure you, only I would be successful, we instead call a truce, you come out of your mirrors, dispel the mirrors, and I will conjure up some nice comfy lounge furniture from which we can watch the spectacle that will be the fight between your surrogate father figure and our Sensei." Naruto said in a rather peaceable tone of voice.

Though one couldn't tell it because of her mask, Haku visibly frowned at the suggestion. "I take it then that you have no intention whatsoever of interfering in the outcome of that fight?"

"Not on your life." Naruto stated.

"And I take it by the fact that you erected your barrier that you intend to prevent me from participating in the fight as well?" Haku inquired.

"Yep." Naruto stated.

"What is stopping me from simply creating one of my mirrors outside of your barrier and traveling to it via the manipulation of time-space that my Jutsu allows me while inside of the ice." Haku asked.

Naruto smirked, "My clan specializes in Fūinjutsu. These chains are the penultimate example of my clans craft. When erected in a barrier of this sort, they will stop anything inside the barrier from leaving the barrier no matter what the method that was used to attempt to leave the barrier. It is the ultimate Barrier Sealing Jutsu, and one only available to the main branch of my Clan, so the Sharingan cannot copy it."

Sasuke exclaimed "WHAT?"

"You heard me Sasuke. Not like the members of the Uchiha Clan haven't already tried. But it is a Jutsu that is tied to my Clan's Bloodline, although not a Kekkei Genkai the Jutsu itself will not allow itself to be performed properly by anyone who is not a direct blood descendant of the main family. The best that anyone else could hope for is a cheap knock-off imitation." Naruto explained.

"Very well, I accept your terms, just make sure your teammate doesn't try to attack me while we are watching the fight." Haku stated calmly.

Naruto shrugged and said "I would say I was sorry about this Sasuke, but you've kind of been a jerk to me for a long ass time now, so I really can't"

"What?" Sasuke said, but suddenly found himself bound by gold chains and falling to the ground.

"Oh that is harsh, but thank you." Haku said as she stepped out of the mirrors and dismissed them.

Meanwhile Naruto summoned two clones and had them use his Henkō Henge no Jutsu to transform into real physical lounge chairs for Haku and himself.

Haku touched one of the chairs confusedly and said "They really changed? These aren't illusions?"

"Yep, these are real lounge chairs. I kind of discovered that trick when I created my own version of the Henge Jutsu to use as a prank on other guys." Naruto stated.

Haku removed her mask seeing as how Naruto had apparently seen her in far less and asked "Oh? Dare I ask?"

"So long as you promise not to hit me I will tell you…" Naruto began.

Haku raised a single perfectly manicured eyebrow and said "okay…"

"Well I sort of invented a jutsu that physically transforms me into a completely naked sixteen year old female version of myself, complete with working parts as near as I have been able to tell." Naruto stated.

Haku promptly blushed at this explanation but didn't hit him, which just encouraged Naruto "Over the past week I have also managed to develop a version that turns me into a completely naked version of Sasuke over there as well as a kid at our academy by the name of Shikamaru. I developed that one mostly as a form of self-defense against their respective fangirls."

"I see." Haku stated momentarily glancing over at the bound Uchiha grimacing and saying "Does duck-hair over there really have fangirls?"

"Oh yeah, Pinky out there is one of the most vocal of the bunch." Naruto stated.

Just then both Naruto and Haku heard Kakashi's voice exclaim "CHIDORI!"

And just like that the battle of the bridge was seemingly over. Zabuza was dead, Haku of course was devastated, but oddly she found Naruto's presence to be of comfort to her, despite the fact that he forced her to sit back and watch as the most precious person in her life was ripped away from her.

However that was when the smug voice of Gatō made its presence known on the bridge, boasting about how he should have hired better Ninja to deal with the situation.

Standing up from where he was comforting the still crying form of Haku, Naruto walked to the edge of the barrier, he Haku and Sasuke were still in, placed his hand on the Barrier, and formed an aperture in the barrier big enough for him to step through. Once he was through the barrier he promptly closed the barrier again.

Walking up to Gatō and his men Naruto said, "Because of you, Haku-chan just lost the man she considered to be her father figure. Because of you these villagers have lost their prosperity. Because of you Tazuna's daughter was nearly kidnapped and if that had succeeded would very likely have been raped. Well things happening because of you are about to end. You and your men are finished." Naruto stretched his hands forward and declared "Kongō Fūsa!"

From Naruto's outstretched hands, his chest, his legs, and the ground in front of him literally thousands upon thousands of golden chains each tipped in a deadly sharp spike erupted and rocketed towards Gatō and his men at speeds faster than they were able to react to them. Within mere seconds all 500 of the men Gatō had brought with him, as well as Gatō himself had been impaled on the spikes at the ends of the chains. What made things horrifyingly more surreal is that the chains just kept going, only to begin turning back and ricocheting off of each other to impale these men again and again stringing them up in a rather macabre way like something out of a slasher movie.

Kakashi, Sakura, Sasuke, and Tazuna, who had all been watching this play out looked absolutely horrified by this turn of events.

Haku on the other hand felt something shift within her heart. Zabuza was no longer her most precious person. That place of honor now squarely belonged to Naruto-sama. She just knew that no matter what happened, she would follow Naruto-sama to the ends of the earth and back.

xXxXxXx

Author's Note: So there you have it. My take on the first chapter of this challenge. Before we go any further… yes, Tsunami was affected by Naruto's supercharged Pheromones… However NO, she will NOT be a permanent member of the Harem. The reason for this is because the Challenge specifically states that women who are mothers or married cannot be added to the Harem. That said it didn't explicitly state whether or not they could or couldn't be affected by the pheromone. My ruling is that they can in fact be affected by the pheromone, but their loyalty has been decided long before Naruto showed up so there is no chance of them abandoning their family just to elope with him. Sorry but don't expect it to happen.

Although Kurenai is not currently married or a mother as of this point in the story, I have no intentions of adding her to the Harem in this fic as I feel that her and Anko being in the Harem has pretty much been done to DEATH. I will have some cliche members such as Tayuya (I just love her to bits and pieces), but the more overused people probably won't show up (with the exception of Hinata). There were really only three girls that were essentially required for this fic, and those were Hinata, a gender flipped Haku, and one of the two canonical female Jinchuriki, and I know which one of the two I am using.

Sakura unfortunately was banned for this challenge as a pairing with Naruto.

Hope that is enough of a preview of the Haremettes to whet your appetites for the future?
