Thanks to everyone who read my story and left me a review. 85 favorites, 83 follows and 19 reviews by the end of the 1st day posted. I found a beta reader who helped me find the spelling and grammar mistakes in the first chapter and it has been re posted with those corrections.
To answer some of your questions I do intend for Naruto to have a few girls in his harem but I'm not replacing Minato or poaching his girls except for 1 to give to Naruto. While I enjoy the series and like most of the characters I don't see the majority of them fitting in well with my Naruto. And a lot of the other "Immortal" Naruto crossovers, while I know that logically anyone who lives that long is bound to be a bit cynical and jaded or down right have a personality shift, I want to keep closer to Naruto's original personality as best I could. It was his upbeat never give up characteristics that made him both unique in his universe and able to bring about such change it others.
My approach is to give him power and experience to match while still keeping close to his original personality traits that make him a knucklehead. Because let's face it, Naruto is pretty dull outside of a good fight and to me he is always 2 cards short of a full deck.
Eniox27- I have read Ashikabi no Shinobi and i enjoy it's story line and any similarities to Akitsu's winging is from trying to keep it as close to how we were introduced to her in the anime/manga while giving it my own twist. And I love Akitsu's character, she is my favorite Sekirei outside of Minato's girls and as such I enjoy reading other stories including her.
So yes Naruto will have both power and skills in keeping with his life and may very well be the most powerful character in this story, he won't be walking around with "God Mode" activated and like in the anime and manga will only really stand out when he's deadly serious.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto nor Sekirei, all characters, thoughts and ideas that exist in this story that were taken from the original works belong to their specific creators, Masashi Kishimoto and Sakurako Gokurakuin. If I did I would have a smarter Naruto and a Harem style anime where the main character actually wants to bang all the girls and doesn't run from them.
Chapter 2
Atop the tallest building in Shinto Teito on his private balcony stood the most powerful man in the city, and one of the most powerful individuals in the country. MBI founder and President Hiroto Minaka. Standing well above the average height for a Japanese male at 6'2", dressed in an expensive pure white suit topped with a flowing white cape and wild white upturned hair that blew in the wind. Minaka certainly cast an impressive image to anyone who knew didn't know him (those that did just tried their best to ignore his eccentric overbearing traits). Looking out over the expansive skyline to the south, his piercing eyes missed nothing. Nothing happened in his city without his know how or input, and as of 8 days ago when MBI finished buying out the last of the parts of the city they didn't already own; and as the founder/CEO of MBI that meant the city truly belonged to him.
Which is why he took it as a slight against him when they received a disturbing alert a short while ago regarding the "scrapped" Sekirei #07. When developing the technology to make adjustments to the Sekirei that would allow them to bond with humans, things were bound to have a few hiccups. While being experimented on, the researcher in charge of #07 botched the procedure resulting in #07's in ability to be winged. After his beloved Sahashi Takami, his go to person, current head researcher, and 2nd overall in charge of the Sekirei Plan personally ended his career with MBI (along with his ability to father children) she assigned #07 her division while they worked on a way to reverse what been done to her.
Nothing worked, everything they had tried resulted in failure and after more than 3 years #07 resigned herself to her fate and sunk into a deep depression. The only good thing that came out of the experience was that they perfected the winging system thanks in part to #07's sacrifice and all of her future brothers and sisters would be safe from sharing her fate. #07 slowly faded to the background in the interests of the R&D department and soon disappeared entirely from the program.
She remained in self-imposed isolation in the labs until 3 days ago when being transferred from Kamikura Island to MBI headquarters to join the other Sekirei in who have yet to be released for final tuning for life amongst humans. The security officer in charge of ensuring #07's safety and security during transport thought he could take advantage of the seemingly docile and utterly beautiful woman lying on a transport gurney with wearing only a hospital gown. The idiot had no idea who or what she
When he attempted to capitalize on his golden opportunity he found himself run through with multiple ice spears that took both him and the truck they were traveling in, resulting in the trucks rather spectacular explosion. In the 20 minutes it took MBI to send a retrieval team to recover her all they found was the burnt wreckage and missing Sekirei. Examination of the trucks black-box security footage showed them the details of the incident.
Due to her powers over ice, the tracking devices implanted inside her body were unusable and as such had to be tracked down the old fashion way. Minaka dispatched the 3rd generation Disciplinary Squad to locate and retrieve her. That was 3 days ago and they had found no evidence on her whereabouts until an alarm triggered earlier today with the most shocking news. Sekirei #07, the "scrapped" number had been winged. Chaos and disbelief ran rampant in the main control room until his dear Takami-chan asserted her authority in her usual way; with a demonic visage, shouting and threats of extreme violence.
Now Minaka stood in his favorite spot on the roof overlooking his city waiting on further news. The sound of the door behind him alerted him of Takami's arrival. "Ah my dear Takami-chan! What news do you bring me on our lost bird?"
His answer came in the form of a kick to the head that sent him over the edge of the roof to plummet hundreds of feet to a most certain death. Luckily he managed to grab the lip of the roof as he was going over.
"How many times have I told you not to call me that you self-centered bastard!" Roared the object of his deepest affections.
Scrambling to pull himself up to the safety of solid ground he was quick to respond. "But my Takami-chan, how can you be so cruel to the man you love? You could have killed me just now, and after all we've been through and experienced together; the long nights in each other's arms and the passions of our youth. You would deny me my right to call you my 'dear'?" he cried with "manly" tears running down his face.
Takami bristled at his reply. "You damn well better believe I won't let you call me that. You haven't earned the right to call me that."
Having finally righted himself Minaka lost the pout on his face and looked at Takami with a piercing gaze. "What have you found out?" He asked.
"After our systems were alerted to #07's winging, I ordered satellite coverage of the area be brought up for review. Her location was pinged at Harakuju Park 17 miles southwest of here. The park has been completely frozen solid a half mile in diameter. According to the reports from our men at the scene the ice is almost 4 inches thick."
Pausing long enough to pull some photos out of the file she was carrying she handed them to Minaka who looked at them with great interest. "These are the aerial photos taken by out satellites. By the time our forces got on site and were able to enter the park both #07 and her Ashikabi were already gone. We did manage to get this shot of the pair as they were leaving."
Handing Minaka a new photo he looked at a bird's eye view of 2 forms walking on the ice towards to exit. 07 was accompanied by a man with bright yellow hair and looked to be shirtless but that was all that he could see.
Pulling out and lighting a cigarette she took a long drag before continuing. "We tracked them heading west before losing them in a shopping district close to the park. We have no CCTV access in those areas so we can't get a better view. I've already alerted Karasuba and she is en route to find then bring them both here."
"Excellent Takami-chan! That will be all." Minaka said dismissing her and turning back to look at the photos in his hand. Takami scuffed at the dismissal and flipped Minaka the bird before leaving.
"Well now, isn't this exciting! A new development in this grand game that even I hadn't been able to predict. I really must meet this person who through a wrench in my plans for our poor, poor #07."
Minaka stood overlooking Shinto Teito and laughed aloud, wondering where this new factor might take the game.

Escaping the frozen winter wonderland proved to be a little annoying for Naruto as on more than one occasion he slipped on the ice and fell flat on his ass. It wouldn't be a big deal for him if no one else was around to witness the spectacle but with every ass-busting event his silent companion would look down at him while maintaining her hold on his arm and giggle softly even as he would mock glare back at her. Damn that giggle, how can he be mad at such a cute sound? It didn't stop him from grumbling about it though.
How the hell can she keep her footing? Why do I keep falling on my ass even when I try to use chakra and yet she is casually walking across this freaking icy slip & slide?
So with both ego and ass bruised (for one of them anyway)the pair made it to edge of the tree line stopping just short of leaving as Naruto looked across the 20 feet stretching to the northern gate. Flashing lights on emergency response vehicles, uniformed men and women relaying instructions through a hand-held megaphone and the dumbstruck gathering of bystanders alerted Naruto that they weren't alone anymore.
Well, we did inadvertently destroy city property and ruined a city treasure. Well...one of us did. He thought as he glanced at Akitsu out of the corner of his eye.
"Uh..Akitsu-chan. Can you get rid of the ice? We kind of made a scene here." He asked.
"Ah...no...I like it" she replied after a slow look at the new attraction to the park. "This is proof that I'm your Sekirei...that I was able to be winged...without you I could have never done this"
If it wasn't for the warm feeling conveyed through the bond with her in the back of his mind he would have sweat dropped at her reply as her tone and facial expression once again seemed almost devoid of life. I guess this is normal for her huh? He thought
"Then I guess we should try another way out. Come on, we'll hop the fence a bit further down." He said after a moment. She really is happy at this whole "winging" gig. If it made her this happy I guess I can play along.
Releasing his hold on her hand he draped his left arm across her back, hand resting on her hip as he pulled her closer even as she wrapped her right arm around his waist and pressed against his side. Using the cover of ice trees they stepped deeper into the tree line until they were out of sight then walked west for about 200 meters then cut back north to the perimeter fence line.
Naruto let go of Akitsu as they walked up to the fence and had to squash the urge to shout "Kawai" as she gave a small pout at having to release him. "Can you get over fence or do I need help you?" He asked.
"Ah...I can jump it..." She replied and with a effortless hop she was standing on top of the 10ft fence, balancing gracefully she turned back to Naruto and gave a small smile at the shocked look on his face.
Must not drool, must not drool. He thought to himself as he witnessed an act that a normal human hadn't been able to do in a long time. I think I'm in love. Nothing was more attractive on a woman for Naruto then a strong girl. A strong girl who was also beautiful. Strength, grace, power over ice, smoking hot and completely devoted to him? Naruto may have just found the perfect girl. And the free show he was provided when she jumped, flashing her bare bottom through the tattered lab coat had absolution no impact on his line of thought. Wiping a small trail of blood from his nose Naruto followed her lead and jumped over the fence to the street and draped his arm back over her once Akitsu joined him allowing him one more free show. Nope..no impact on him what's so ever.

It wasn't easy in any relationship he had ever been in and it certainly wasn't easy now. Standing outside of the dressing room of the women's clothes store he found a block from the park, Naruto felt completely out of place while waiting for Akitsu to try on the assorted clothing she had picked out with the help of the almost motherly sales clerk. The same clerk that gave him the "look" as she took in Akitsu's state of dress, and his for that matter as he still wasn't wearing a shirt and assumed it was Naruto's fault. So he took it like a man and just stood silently and resigned himself to a long and draining experience.
The sales clerk drug Akitsu around the store pulling clothing ranging from outerwear to underwear from the shelves and racking, guessing correctly that she had no other clothes than what she had on and made it her personal mission to pick out an entire wardrobe for Akitsu. Pulling his pencil sized storage scroll out he rolled it out a bit and after finding what he wanted he applied a bit of chakra and with a small puff of smoke Naruto was holding a very old and well used looking frog shaped pouched. Pocketing the scroll once again he cracked open his precious "Gama-chan" and recounted the bill she had on his person. Looking back at the growing pile of ladies fashion apparel he could only hope he had enough to pay for everything.
Naruto was pulled out of his thoughts by a sudden weight on his head and his vision went black. Reaching up he pulled his black shirt off of his head and turned to the matronly clerk who was still scowling at him. "Put your shirt back on, we don't need any more of your free shows." She barked at him then turned back to the dressing room and disappeared inside. Giving the clerk the finger once his back was turned he slipped the shirt back on then went back to grieving for his soon to be depleted gama-chan.
"Ah...Naruto-sama.." Akitsu's soft voice brought his attention back to the dressing room to find Akitsu wearing what looked like a modified kimono. Both top and bottom were white, the color blending well with her pale skin. The bottom was a skirt that wrapped around her hips and accentuated her curves and long legs; and fell to her ankles, exposing more skin as it went further down to where her shins and ankles were exposed in the front. The top was similar to a yukata top and it had flowing sleeves that hid her hands but the resemblance ended there. Akitsu's chest was put on display as the top wrapped around her stomach, but flared out once it reached her breasts and split to barely hang off of her shoulders. Across her chest was a length of chain that held the top close just enough to be borderline decent, though the tops and inner parts of her breasts were out for display. And it was also apparent that she wasn't wearing a bra. Finishing the look was a black obi and a second length of chain that wrapped around her neck twice before falling to disappear between her breasts. Adorning her feet were a simple pair of heeled sandals.
Naruto's brain shut down briefly as he looked at the goddess before him. His inner Jiraiya once again making himself know as he began to giggle in a manner that would have had said perverted godfather preening in pride. I wonder where those chains go to. Maybe she'll let me find out. He he. He thought to himself as his brain finally rebooted and rational thought could once again make itself know.
"Uh..Akitsu, I can see you aren't wearing a bra, but do you have any underwear on under you skirt?" He asked once he was sure he could talk without giggling lecherously.
"Ah. She paused briefly to look down at herself, then pulled the skirt up open to look once again giving Naruto a view that other men would kill to see. "...I forgot.." She finally finished.
Blinking owlishly he could only shake his head before instructing her to return to the dressing room and put some on. Looking at the evil looking sales clerk that followed Akitsu out (and apparently didn't like what Akitsu choose to wear, nor was she please with Naruto's reaction to said clothes if the glare she was giving him was any indication). "Before you try to blame me for any of this. You helped her pick it out"
Apparently that was the wrong thing to say as she flushed red and then ripped into Naruto like a woman scorned. Tuning her out after the third "deadbeat" insult he allowed his mind to wonder and once again delved into his inner sanctum, he cackled perversely while bringing back up the images of Akitsu in her various states of dress and undress. After a hanger bounced off his head he realized that he must have cackled out loud at some point because Mt. Pissed of Sales Clerk looked like she would erupt in righteous female fury.
Before she could tear back in him Akitsu walked out and moved to stand by him, reaching out and grabbing his hand then turned to the angry clerk. "Ah...thank you.." she stated.
"My pleasure" the woman managed to get out while grinding her teeth and scowling at Naruto.
"Is this what you want Akitsu? Did you also get some extras and maybe night wear too?" Naruto questioned.
"Ah...I like it..the lady picked out some extras...and some other things..." She answered.
Naruto nodded then addressed the clerk again. "Well, I guess we're ready to check out."
"Very good sir. Right this way" she said. After ringing up Akitsu's clothes she looked a little too pleased at Naruto's crestfallen look after he emptied his poor gama-chan of most of the bills inside and ignored her acidic "Thank you for your purchase, please come again" .
Mouthing some very impolite things about the woman and her family, friends, any pets she might have he turned his back to the clerk from hell. Again Naruto's not petty, but if the woman just happened to have a bad hair day from hell tomorrow, well...he wouldn't lose any sleep over it. He grabbed the bags and knelt to the floor and pulled his storage scroll back out. Both Akitsu and the clerk watched in confusion as he unrolled the scroll a bit then finding what he wanted placed a finder on a squiggly symbol and applied a bit of chakra. In a puff of smoke a larger scroll appeared and he neatly grabbed it and unwound the cord keeping it bound. Then he unfurled the scroll then laid it on the ground exposing another strange symbol.
Picking up the bags he placed them on the scroll then and with a small puff the bags disappeared seemingly into thin air. Rolling the larger scroll back up he sealed it into the smaller scroll then placed the small scroll back in his pocket and stood up. Looking at Akitsu's slightly wide eyes and the clerks dumbfounded look, he purposefully acted nonchalant about the feet of magic. Wrapping an arm around Akitsu's waist he turned her towards the door and waved to the still stunned sales clerk with his most innocent smile he could manage they departed the clothing store
Heading west once back on the sidewalk he allowed himself a brief moment to relish in his pseudo prank before he turned to his wide-eyed companion. "So..What do you want for lunch?"
x~X~x
The relatively quiet atmosphere of hundreds of men and women moving with purpose was interrupted by a cry that rose above the normal hustle and bustle of commuter traffic.
"You've never heard of ramen?" Shrieked Naruto as he stared in disbelieve at his companions answer.
After making the decision to grab food he asked what she might want .and after a short "Ah...whatever you want it fine with me..."
"OK then! Let's go for ramen. You can never go wrong with the food of the Gods!" he declared while looking at her for any objections. Seeing the blank look on her face and ignoring the dread building in his stomach he had to ask. "You do know what ramen is right?" He said.
Blinking slowly once again she gave him the response the he dreaded to hear. "Ah...no..."
Leaning back slightly after his loud deceleration she just looked at Naruto and shook her head slowly. How can this be? The one claimed me as her Ashikabi has never sampled the food of the Gods? He wailed internally.
Turning to Akitsu with fire burning in his eyes he scooped her up under his arm then launched himself to the roof of the nearest building ignoring the looks of shock on people's faces and Akitsu's squeak of surprise. Pausing to get his bearings he turned south and proceeded to leap from roof to roof as he traveled at breakneck speed towards the small ramen stand he found in his 1st day in the city. It was no Ichiraku Ramen, but it was still good, and he had to get Akitsu there on the double to correct what he saw as massive injustice.
20 minutes later gave birth to the spectacle of Naruto shoveling down bowl after bowl of heavenly delight into his bottomless pit of a stomach. Next to him Akitsu was slowly and methodically eating her noodles like a lady should showing no real rush. If it went for the 5 empty bowls next to her one would assume she wasn't enjoying her ramen.
Pausing between his 12th and 13th bowl Naruto turned to Akitsu and exclaimed. "See! What did I tell you about ramen? Isn't it the food of the gods themselves?"
"Ah..yes...I love it.." She replied without breaking her focus on her own ramen bowl.
The ramen chef just chuckled at the scene before him and collected the empty bowls from the counter and deposited them in the sink then turned to the woman who just walked through the flaps covering the bar area. "What can I get you miss?" he inquired.
"I'll have a bowl of miso" was his answer and she sat down on the empty stool next to Naruto. Then turned to regard the pair next to her. "Wow, you really love ramen don't you?" She asked in a conversational tone, having seen the stack being removed from in front of him by the chef.
Turing to the voice on his right took in the woman next to him. She was fairly tall topped with long ash gray hair worn in a high ponytail that fell to her lower back with a slender athletic body wrapped in a tight black top and black mini skirt falling just above mid-thigh leaving a section of her legs bare before they were encased in thigh length black boots and draped across her shoulders was a oversized gray haori. Her impressive bust and narrow waist and long legs coupled with her angled face and gray eyes made this woman just as stunning as Akitsu.
Three things immediately stood out to Naruto even as he finished slurping up the last of his noodles waiting to finish before he answered. One was the long nodachi strapped to her waist, the second was the crest of a bird printed on both shoulders of her haori, the same bird crest he saw on Akitsu before and after her winging. The third was the look in the woman's have lidded eyes as she looked at him expectantly for his reply. They were the eyes of someone who knew how to kill and was deciding whether to kill him or not.
"Of course I love ramen" he finally replied turning a bit to face her. "Anyone who doesn't love the delicious and delectable taste Ramen is a fool and should be pitied." not taking his eyes off of her he started into his next bowl, though at a much slower rate. Finishing a bite he asked her the same question. "How about you? Do you love ramen?"
The woman's face stretched in a smile along with her half lidded eyes gave her the look of a predator smiling at something its food might have said to it. "I don't really have a preference for ramen myself. I was just in the neighborhood looking for something and thought I'd grab a quick bite before accomplishing my mission."
Thinking about what she had just said and taking in her appearance and the sword at her side he concluded that she was also a Sekirei. "I must have good luck then to have met 2 of the 108 Sekirei in a city of millions after only 3 days in Shinto Teito. So tell me Ms. Sekirei, what is your real reason for being here?" He questioned her in a light tone of voice. Akitsu who in the meantime hadn't even looked up from her ramen, turned to see her Ashikabi was speaking with. After hearing "Sekirei" brought up. Once she laid eyes on the woman sitting next to Naruto she froze (no pun intended) and dropped her chopsticks.
Smiling wider at his statement she leaned in closer to Naruto and rested on hand on the hilt of her sword. "Now what makes you think I'm a Sekirei?" She inquired.
Feeling the rising panic in his bond with Akitsu and having heard her drop her chopsticks he took a moment to pause in his slurping, he chewed his food before replying. "The most obvious is the sword at your side coupled with the crests on your haori. That's the same crest that was on Aki-chans forehead before I winged her, then appeared on the base of her neck afterwards."
"Oh ho, you're a smart one aren't you? Sekirei #04 Karasuba, the Black Sekirei at your service" She replied still smiling and giving a small exaggerated bow from her stool, amused at the fearful looking Akitsu and the nonchalant attitude of her Ashikabi.
"Well than Ms. Karasuba, What are you really doing here?" Naruto asked after a moment.
Giving Naruto a casual and once over she chuckled a bit then answered. "Well mister ramen lover, I'm here for you and your Sekirei of course. I've been sent to retrieve the "scrapped number" and the person who managed to wing her." Turning back to the counter Karasuba started eating the ramen that was placed on the counter in front of her a moment ago.
Turning to look at Akitsu over his shoulder he saw that whoever this Karasuba chick was, Akitsu was afraid of her. No, not afraid. Downright terrified. Just who is this Sekirei that has Akitsu so worked up? I've seen what her power is. She froze an entire park for god's sake. Is Karasuba really that strong?
"Well Aki-chan, do you want to go with the scary lady?" He asked as he turned around to better look at her.
Akitsu responded by grabbing his arm and held it in a death grip and shook her head so fast he thought it might fall off. It would have been funny to Naruto if the situation wasn't so serious.
"Well Karasuba-chan, it looks like Akitsu doesn't want go with you. So I'm afraid we'll have to kindly decline your offer so sorry for your wasted trip, but how about I pay for your ramen to make up for it?" Naruto said looking back to the Black Sekirei. Said Sekirei merely laughed aloud at his statement and pushed her bowl away then stood up, resting one hand back on the hilt of her sword.
"I'm afraid that it isn't a request. My employer isn't used to being told no, and neither am I to be honest. So if you don't come quietly then I'll get to hurt you, then have you carried back. It makes no difference to me. But please resist, I haven't had a good laugh in days." Karasuba was now looking him with her eyes fully opened, showing a desire to fight and spill blood. A lesser man might have pissed himself at her statement and look. Naruto just went back to eating.
"Don't ignore me you piece of shit!" She yelled as she drew her blade faster than the normal eye could see and sliced Naruto's bowl of ramen in 2. Spilling beef and noodles over the counter and Naruto himself. The ramen chef screamed and ran out the back screaming for the police and Akitsu tried to raise a wall of ice between them and Karasuba before pulling Naruto to his feet and trying to drag him away. She only got 3 feet before she felt him yank his arm free from her grip and with his head downcast, hair shadowing his eyes he turned back to face the Black Sekirei in time to see her wall of ice shattered like it was nothing.
Stepping over the remnants of the ice barrier Karasuba smiled wickedly at the pair, fully expecting to have seen the pair desperately trying to run away. Watching Akitsu frantically trying to pull him away then after seeing her barrier destroyed moved in front of Naruto to shield him. "Run. You must run! She'll kill you!" Akitsu almost shouted at her Ashikabi, trying to keep him safe.
"Yes, please run, run like your life depends on it. I love the trill of a good chase. And Once I'm done with this little ..." She trailed off as her eyes widened in shock as an immense pressure like she had never felt before pressed down on her. Akitsu also felt the pressure but couldn't stand up to it and fell to her knees, turning her head to the side in a jerky manner both Sekirei were treated to the sight of Naruto.
Standing stock still head down and hair covering his eyes he slowly started to glow. Seconds later flames of pure gold exploded from his body covering him completely in a cloak of energy. Black lines traced unknown patterns tracing his arms and legs connecting in a strange symbol on his stomach. Forming over his arms and shoulders the energy took the form of a long overcoat similar to Karasuba's haori except his had a high collar. 9 black magatamas formed around his neck and along the outside collar of his coat. Two spikes of hair rose to form a pair of horns atop his head and his eyes glowed a brilliant red, now visible as he raised his head to glare at Karasuba's shocked form.
"You...you made 3 mistakes." Naruto said in a voice that was colder than anything Karasuba had heard since her last conversation with her former leader. She trembled in response, trying to wrap her mind around this power that was trying to crush her. And was coming from someone who a minute ago wasn't even a blip on her senses, now he overwhelmed them.
"First, you threaten Aki-chan, someone who is dear to me, my precious person. Second you threaten me, and your third mistake was spilling my ramen! Naruto roared before he moved.
One minute Karasuba was watching this man radiate pure power, the next he was inside her guard. Blood and spittle flew from her mouth as his fist plunged into her diaphragm folding her over and causing her eyes to roll back into her head. What...what just happened...How is this possible. She thought before lost consciousness.
Allowing the evil ramen slaying woman to fall and land in a undignified manner face first he released his hold on his charka and allowed it to fade away. Spinning on his heel he walked to Akitsu who was still on her knees on the ground, eyes wide and trembling form the power she felt both around her and from its echo from her bond with her Ashikabi.
"Are you OK?" Naruto asked as he kneeled in front of her. "Ah...I'm fine..." She managed to mumble after a moment. "What...what was that?" She asked.
"I'll tell you later" He replied as he stood back up, pulling Akitsu with him. Walking back to the ramen stand he allowed himself a moment to pray to the ramen gods for the heinous crime that was committed. "I have avenged you, rest in peace now." as manly tears trickled down his face. Akitsu could only blink at the strange sight and wondered about her Ashikabi's mental stability.
"Well, lunch was ruined, time to head out. We still have to find a place to stay. First things first though" Naruto said as he turned back to the motionless form of the ramen slaying Sekirei. His face contorting to a vulpine look as he knelt over her prone form. "You took something precious from me, it's on fair for me to do the same."
Pulling off her gray haori and unbuckling her leather sword belt he sheathed her nodachi and slipped the haori on himself and tied it closed with her belt and secured the nodachi at his waist. Taking a moment to move his arms and stretch he found that while it was oversized on Karasuba, it wrapped around his frame rather well. Pulling his right arm back from the sleeve and allowing it to fall from his shoulder leaving it bound around his waist and left shoulder in a style like that of this character in an anime he watched. Looking back at the prone woman he got an evil look on his face as he reached for his sealing scroll.
She hasn't suffered enough. I got just the thing to make sure she remembers this lesson. He thought as he unsealed his Scroll of Reckoning. Cackling as he went to work on Karasuba, Akitsu shivered as she watched her master dish out his punishment to the defenseless Sekirei who minutes ago wanted to hurt them, maybe even kill them.
Shivering again at Naruto's evil cackling she turned her head, she couldn't watch it anymore.
Now Naruto isn't spiteful or anything, but no one crossed him without due punishment. As Karasuba will find out when she wakes up.
End.
Picture how Gintoki wears his haori in Gintama. That's how Naruto is wearing his right now.
