A/N - Okay, first of all, for those of you that haven't checked my profile to see what's kept me from updating in so long, here's the deal: my laptop crapped out on me. It's the only thing I was able to use to write on and upload my chapters. So I was shit out of luck for a long time. I recently decided to find and dig out my Chromebook and try and get back to work on the chapter I had been working on before my laptop crapped out on me, which was this chapter, chapter 2 of A Neglected Samurai. I also asked my mom if she could let me use her computer at times because it's better than that freaking Chromebook and I prefer the keyboard she has as well. It just feels better and I'm able to actually DOWNLOAD the documents from Google Docs onto my mom's computer and check my progress on the chapters and so on.
Suffice it to say, it's been a slow-going process and it's been a pain in the ass, but I finally managed to get this chapter finished just moments ago. Soooo...here it is. I wanted to get to the Genin Test and the team placements in this chapter, but so much happened in this chapter and it was getting so long that I just couldn't get to it! Sooo...hopefully you enjoy the chapter and everything that happened.
Also...WARNING! There is attempted rape in this chapter! I haven't marked down where it's at, so sorry for that. It's part of an important scene in the chapter, so please try to read through the entire chapter. Please and thank you. Do try to enjoy the chapter.
Chapter 2 - Meeting the Kyuubi
When Naruto awoke the next morning, he couldn't help but smile to himself. He had slept most pleasantly and had the most wonderful dreams, though he couldn't remember much about them. Rolling over, he tried to stretch out, but found that his left arm wouldn't budge, much to his confusion.
Slowly blinking open his eyes, he peered into the mischievous eyes of his sister and saw her grinning at him deviously. "Good morning big brother! 'Bout time you woke up!" she exclaimed joyfully before leaning in and pecking him on the nose. "You slept like a log. You must've been dead tired. You never even noticed when I snuck in here and cuddled up next to you to sleep beside you last night." she said with a giggle.
Blushing slightly, Naruto couldn't help but look down and noticed that his sister was in a loose nightgown that was revealing a generous portion of her cleavage and he wasn't sure if she was wearing panties underneath it or not. He certainly hoped she was.
Naruko, as if sensing his thoughts, giggled and poked his nose. "Boop. You've got a dirty mind big brother." she said before she released his arm and hopped off his bed. Doing a twirl, she skipped to his door and turned around to face him once more. "Mom's waiting for us downstairs. She's cooking breakfast right now, so you should go ahead and wash up. I'll be waiting for ya downstairs Naruto-kun!" she declared before leaving his room.
Blinking for a moment longer, Naruto shook the cobwebs out of his head and slowly threw off his blankets before climbing out of bed, clad in only a pair of boxers that he slept in throughout the night. Yawning, he stretched his arms out over his head until he felt a satisfying pop in his back and let out a groan in contentment. Grabbing some clothes to wear for the day, he went to the bathroom so he could take a shower and get himself ready for the day.
Meanwhile
Downstairs, Kushina smirked at her daughter as she entered the kitchen, fully dressed for the day ahead of them. "So, did you ask him what you wanted to Naruko-chan?" she asked in genuine curiosity.
Frowning to herself, the young redhead shook her head in the negative. "No, not yet. I...wasn't sure how to bring it up. It's not like I can just come out and say, "Hey Naruto-kun, why don't you kiss me and make me into one of those cool samurai thingies you made Satsuki-chan into yesterday?!" after all. It'd just be...awkward. Besides, we don't even know what the heck kind of power he has, or if his new kekkei genkai works on more than one person, or anything! We don't even know how he has it! Do you know anything about whose side of the family it came from Mom?"
Kushina sighed and shook her head. "I'll have to dig through the archives to be 100% sure Naruko-chan, but I'm pretty sure that the Uzumaki clan doesn't have a bloodline like that anywhere in their history. I'm positive that it comes from Minato's lineage. He never unlocked it, thank Kami for that, but Naruto has. If Minato learns of this fact, if he hasn't already, it's bound to enrage him more than losing us and being kicked out of his home has. If only we had access to the Namikaze clan history we could study up on it and see if they have information on this kekkei genkai of Naruto's. But I'm afraid that's out of the question with Minato moving back in with his clan." Kushina explained with a sigh.
Naruko sighed as well before smiling when her mother started setting the food on the table. Sure, she had to wait for Naruto still, but he'd be down in another minute or two, she could wait. Looking back up to her mother, Naruko smiled and shook her head. "Either way, we'll still learn more about his kekkei genkai through experience. Samurai's Kiss...the ability to turn anyone of the opposite gender he kisses into a samurai. I want to see what it feels like!" she exclaimed excitedly.
Standing at the bottom of the stairs wide-eyed was Naruto. He was blushing a deep shade of red as he just stared at his female family members, unable to utter a word. Here was his sister, saying she wanted him to kiss her and turn her into a samurai girl. The blond could see his mother looking at him with a smirk on her face, but he couldn't help but look away shyly.
When Naruko noticed her mother's gaze, she turned around to see Naruto standing on the bottom step of the stairs, looking anywhere but at her with a healthy blush on his face. A fierce blush rose up on her face and she quickly turned around and stared down at her food. "S-Sorry Naruto-kun. I didn't mean to embarrass you. I just...kinda want to know what being a samurai would feel like, y'know? It sounds kinda fun, dattebana."
Naruto walked over and sat down in his chair at the table and looked at his sister somewhat shyly. "I-It's okay Naruko-chan. I just...your first kiss should be reserved for someone you love, y'know? It shouldn't be something you give away to me just because you want to be a samurai girl. I want it to be a special experience for you."
Frowning at her brother, Naruko reached over and gripped his nose painfully between her fingers, causing him to yelp in pain. "Listen here Buster, and listen well! I like you as both my brother and as a man! If I want to give my first kiss to you, then that is my choice as a woman. Are you going to deny me that right out of some self-righteous desire to protect my chastity or some such nonsense Naruto?"
Naruto reached up his hand to swat Naruko's away from his nose and rubbed at his sore nose for a moment before he finally responded. "I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to be disrespectful Naruko-chan. I just...I didn't know, okay? If that's...how you feel, then…I dunno...I just...is that how you feel? Do you really like me in that way?"
Before Naruko could reply, Kushina sat down in her chair and slapped a hand on the table hard to get their attention. "Enough. You can discuss this later. Eat before your food goes cold." she demanded before she began to dig in. After a moment, she paused in her own endeavor to eat her meal before smirking at Naruto. "And for your information, if she didn't like you, I doubt she would have crawled into your bed at night to snuggle with you." she teased with a smirk before she resumed eating.
Blushing at this, the both of them ducked their heads down before simply digging into their meals with renewed gusto, choosing to simply remain silent, trying not to let their mother's teasing get to them.
Later
The Uzumaki trio were currently on their way to meet with Mikoto and her children as the Uzumakis had the plan to go together with them to file for their divorces. Along the way, Naruto and Naruko were having a hard time so much as looking at one another, let alone trying to hold a conversation. Kushina, finally having enough of it, looked back at her children and thwacked them both atop their heads.
"Alright, the both of you. Enough of the silent treatment. Naruko, you need to talk your feelings out with your brother. Naruto, you need to talk about this whole Samurai Kiss business with your sister. But you both need to realize that before you decide on anything, you need to talk to Satsuki. She is Naruto's girlfriend first and she has the final say in all of this. So no matter what you decide, just remember that she gets to decide your fate in this matter," Kushina stated with a sly grin.
Naruko froze in place and flinched slightly almost as if struck with something. Looking into her mother's eyes, she soon glanced from her to Naruto and then back again to her mother's eyes. "I forgot about her. I was so excited about becoming a samurai girl and being with Naruto-kun that I totally lost sight of the fact that he already has a girlfriend in Satsuki-chan. What if she doesn't agree to share him? I don't want to just give up on my brother…"
Naruto looked at his mother for a moment before looking deep into his sister's eyes and sighing softly. "You really do love me, don't you Naruko-chan?" he questioned quietly with a kindhearted smile on his face. "I didn't realize. If...if you really want to become a samurai girl that badly, and you're really, truly serious about me, I'm willing to give a relationship between us a shot. But…"
Here, our favorite blond knucklehead looked at his mother again and nodded once. "Satsuki has to sign off on it first. I just entered a relationship with her and I refuse to go behind her back and do something like this without her consent." Naruto explained, looking back into his sister's heterochromic (one blue & one violet) eyes. "I'm sorry Naruko-chan. But...it would feel like a huge betrayal to her. But…" Reaching out, the blue-eyed blond took hold of one of her hands and smiled brightly at her. "Let's talk with Satsuki together. I'm sure if we just explain ourselves to her and talk it out with her, she'll understand. At least...I hope she will. You two are best friends after all. I can't see her getting all that upset with you. Even over something like this." Naruto said in an attempt to assure his sister, although at some points he didn't sound too sure himself.
The redheaded young woman found herself giggling at her brother's attempt to reassure her and found herself shaking her head in bemusement. After taking a moment to compose herself, she wrapped her arms around her brother and placed her lips against his cheek in a chaste, but warm kiss. After a brief moment, she pulled away, leaving Naruto a blushing mess. "You're just too cute sometimes Naruto-kun. I really do love you. So, so much. Let's go get Satsuki-chan. I just can't wait anymore to make you mine!" And with a giggle, she grabbed her brother's hand and began skipping down the road with him off towards the Uchiha compound, leaving a flabbergasted audience behind them.
Kushina couldn't help but giggle to herself as she followed after the two of them. Aww, young love. It's such an adorable thing to watch in action. I just hope Satsuki agrees to share Naruto, or else Naruko might go up in arms over him. She does seem rather possessive of him.
A short while later
Upon arriving at the Uchiha clan compound, the Uzumaki family had expected that they would be allowed entry as per the usual. Unfortunately, they were prevented entry by the guards at the gate. "We're sorry, but Fugaku-sama has expressly forbidden us from allowing the three of you entrance into our clan compound. If you have business here, we're more than willing to relay a message for you Kushina-sama?" one of the guards explained.
Kushina sighed and shook her head. "Figures. I always hated that Fugaku-teme. Fine. Would you please deliver a message to Mikoto-chan and her daughter Satsuki that we're here waiting for her? The five of us have business to take care of today."
"Right away Kushina-sama." the same guard said before he disappeared from where he was standing to go and deliver her message. After a few moments, the guard returned with Mikoto, Satsuki, and Itachi in tow. Bowing his head once to Kushina, he offered her a smile and resumed his post.
Upon spotting Naruto, Satsuki rushed over and threw her arms around him, hugging him tight. After a moment however, she realized what she was doing and quickly backed away with a blush on her face, turning away from him and saying, "What do you think you're doing baka? Don't just hug me like that so suddenly. You'll embarrass me."
Naruto blinked and looked at Naruko for a moment before looking back at Satsuki. "But...you're the one who hugged me. I'm so confused right now."
Blushing even more, Satsuki turned around and poked Naruto in the chest somewhat roughly. "S-Shut up baka! I...I did not! You're imagining things!" she shouted out in frustration. After a moment however, she blushed fiercer and grabbed Naruto's cheeks before pulling him into a fierce kiss. When she pulled back, she looked away and mumbled out, "And I didn't just do that either. I just...ugh. I felt like it okay?! Leave me alone!"
Naruto gained swirly eyes at this point and clutched the sides of his head, unable to gain a grasp on the situation at all. The blush on his face was prominent however, as he did rather enjoy the kiss. Just what the hell is going on?!
While Mikoto and Kushina laughed at what was taking place, Naruko looked on jealously for a moment before she released a frustrated sigh and grabbed her best friend by the hand. "C'mon Satsuki-chan, we need to go and have a talk. Away from everyone else. And since you've essentially just killed my brother's brain, it's obvious he won't be any good in a conversation with us right now, otherwise I'd bring him along to chat with us." Sighing again, the beautiful teenage redhead dragged her friend off to go and talk in private while Kushina and Mikoto watched on with matching grins, both having a fair idea of what was going to be discussed between them.
Looking at her son, Kushina offered him a kind smile and patted him gently on the head. "Naruto, Mikoto and I are going to go with Itachi to file for our divorces. You wait here for Naruko and Satsuki to finish having their talk. Once they come back, get to the academy. I won't have the three of you being late just because you felt you had something more important to do than be in class. Now bye bye Naruto-kun." And with that, the beautiful redhead leaned down and placed a soft kiss atop her son's head before she, her best friend, and Itachi Uchiha walked off towards the Hokage Tower to meet with Minato about the divorces.
Once left alone, Naruto sighed and looked skyward. Great, now what do I do? I hate being left on my own in this wretched village. Sure I've got a few friends, but this isn't a great place for me to be on my own. He thought silently to himself with a frown.
With Naruko and Satsuki
Satsuki frowned as she pulled her arm free from her best friend's grip. Looking into Naruko's eyes, she puffed out her cheeks for a moment before releasing a breath and sighing. "Alright Naruko, what's going on? Why'd you pull me all the way out here and away from Naru-kun like this?"
Naruko smirked and quirked an eyebrow at her friend. "So, you'll call him 'Naru-kun' when it's just you and me, but 'baka' when you're in a crowd? What's the deal with that, huh?"
Satsuki flinched and quickly looked away as she folded her arms across her chest in a defensive manner. "Sh-shut up! I can't help it, okay?! I don't know why! I want to be affectionate with him in public, but for some reason I freak out when I'm around him and I start acting like...like that! When I'm with other people, I can talk about him like normal. I can call him Naru-kun and act like I really want to! But when I'm with Naru-kun, I can't help but act all weird! It sucks!"
The fifteen year-old redhead giggled and nodded her head in understanding. "I see. Well, just try to take a few deep breaths and calm yourself before you say anything to him or act or anything okay? You're going to end up hurting him if you keep this up. He isn't sure how you really feel about him because of how you're behaving. He really likes you Satsuki-chan. Please don't hurt him by behaving too much like a tsundere, okay?"
Blinking in stupefaction, Satsuki's eyes widened and she clutched at her chest almost as if struck. "Wait...is that how I'm acting? Truly? I really don't mean to be. I just...I can't help it. I don't want to hurt him. I really like him. And I want to show it too! But...how can I? Especially without it coming out all weird again?!"
Naruko sighed softly and gently grabbed her friend's hands. Squeezing them gently, she offered Satsuki a reassuring smile and nodded her head once. "Just be yourself and let it all happen naturally. Go on a few dates and try to let the romance happen. Hopefully nobody stupid tries to ruin them for you."
Satsuki nodded and offered a small smile back before an inquisitive look donned on her face. "Thank you Naruko-chan. But...that's not why you pulled me out here, is it? What's on your mind?"
Naruko giggled somewhat nervously and reached up to rub at the back of her head. Nodding once, she looked away and sighed. "You caught me. I...wanted to talk to you about Naruto-kun. I...I…" Here, she released a heavy sigh and closed her eyes shut tight. "There's two things Satsuki-chan. First...I want to become a samurai girl like you. Second...I'm in love with my brother too. I want to be with him just like you are. I want...I want you to share him with me. Please?!"
Satsuki stood there wide-eyed in absolute shock. She couldn't quite believe what she had just heard. The part about becoming a samurai girl wasn't all that shocking. Satsuki could easily understand where her friend was coming from in that regard. It was an awesome thing to witness and she couldn't blame Naruko for wanting to become one. But being in love with her own brother of all things?! That she had most certainly not expected! And now she expected her to share him?! What the flippity wippity heck?!
For a while, both parties were silent. Eventually, Satsuki released a shaky breath and closed her eyes. Gritting her teeth for a moment, she reached up a hand and reared it back. Clenching it into a fist, she swung it forward and slammed it hard into Naruko's cheek, causing her to fall back onto her rear end. Rubbing her sore fist, Satsuki released a shaky breath and glared down at Naruko. "Don't get up. Just sit there and listen to me. Okay Naruko-chan? I love you and I want you to just hear me out. I promise I'm not mad at you. I just really needed to hit you right then. Please try to understand."
Before Naruko could say anything in response, the beautiful raven-haired young woman held up her hand and cut her off. "Don't interrupt please. I need to get this all off my chest." Releasing a sigh, the young Uchiha closed her eyes and clenched her fists tight. "You're asking me to share my first and only boyfriend I've ever had. And if I have anything to say about it, he's the only one I will ever have. That's...a hard thing to process for me. But...I love you Naruko, and you're very dear to me. And...if I had to share him with anyone, it would be you. But...there's a problem."
When Naruko looked about to speak, Satsuki hushed her up again and narrowed her eyes. "Uh-uh, I said no interruptions. Now...the problem is this. Naruto's the last male Uzumaki. Chances are that he'll need to take multiple wives to restore the Uzumaki clan anyways. There's only three of you left in the village, and now that Minato's been removed from your clan…"
Naruko's eyes widened in realization and she nodded once, quickly coming to the same conclusion her friend had. Satsuki sighed and shook her head. "Yes, poor Naru-kun is going to need to take multiple wives whether he likes it or not. But...here's the deal I'm going to propose to you Naruko-chan. You and I will decide who gets to join our family. I'm going to marry him someday. You're going to marry him someday. That's already been decided. But anyone else will just have to get in line and will have to prove themselves. But...I have some rules I'm going to set forth for you too. Okay? Are you willing to hear me out?"
The blue and violet-eyed redhead nodded and smiled at her friend. "Of course I'll hear you out. You're willing to share Naruto-kun with me. I'll do anything if it means I can be with him." she quickly agreed.
The black-eyed Uchiha folded her arms under her breasts and pushed them up a little as she stood a little prouder, facing her best friend with a somewhat smug grin on her face. "Glad to hear it. My conditions are this: I'm going to be the one that Naru-kun shares his 'first time' with and I'm going to be the one that he marries first. Beyond that, anything goes. I don't mind if you or anyone else enjoys a little foreplay or whatever, but he's popping my cherry first and I'm getting his virginity. It's gonna be great!" Satsuki exclaimed giddily.
Naruko blinked in stupefaction over how excited her best friend sounded about losing her virginity to her brother, but when she thought about it and put herself in Satsuki's position, she couldn't help the perverse grin that crossed her face. Nodding her head in understanding, Naruko wiped at her mouth to make sure no drool had escaped her lips. "I understand. I can't say I blame you any. I agree to your terms Satsuki-chan. But I get to be his second in both things! I call dibs on second place! You heard me say it here and now!" the young redhead exclaimed, trying to make sure she claimed her place in the hierarchy here and now before anyone could steal her position.
The fifteen year-old Uchiha twin giggled and nodded her head. "Agreed. Now, what do you say we go get Naruto and get to the academy? I don't want us to run late because we got caught up talking about this for too long." she said.
Nodding in agreement, Naruko took her friend's hand and began walking with her back towards where they had left Naruto. However, as they began walking off, she couldn't help but reach up and rub the spot where Satsuki had punched her. "Damn that smarts. You really didn't pull back on your punch, did you Satsuki-chan?"
Wincing in sympathy, Satsuki glanced away and laughed somewhat nervously. "Sorry Naruko-chan. I needed to relieve the small burst of anger I felt at everything I realized in the only way I could think of at the time. I'm really, really sorry."
Sighing, the redhead nodded once in understanding. "It's fine. Just please, don't make a habit out of it. I don't like you being upset with me."
"And I don't like being upset with you. I love you Naruko-chan. In fact, I think the first threesome Naru-kun has should be extra special with you and me. What do you think?" Satsuki suggested, a sly grin and wiggling eyebrows appearing on her face.
Naruko became a blushing, stuttering mess at this and froze in place, unable to utter a proper word or sentence in response. Satsuki found herself giggling giddily at this point and ran off ahead to go and meet up with her blonde boyfriend, leaving Naruko to rush off after her in an attempt to catch up. "H-hey! Wait up!" she shouted out. "I...are you serious?! Because that...that sounds really kinky!"
As the chase continued, the duo couldn't help but laugh together as they continued on their merry way. What they didn't know was that they'd stumble upon a scene that neither of them could ever have expected from a village as 'great' as Konoha…
With Kushina, Mikoto, & Itachi
As the group of three approached Minato's office, Itachi made their presence known by speaking up. "Hello Itumi. Is Hokage-sama in? We need to speak with him about something important."
Itumi, the Hokage's secretary, looked up at the Hokage's guests and immediately went wide-eyed upon spotting Kushina. When she began to sweat nervously, the three of them instantly knew something was going on. Before she could say anything, Kushina scowled and spoke up. "We're going in. Come on you two."
Quickly standing up, the brown-haired Itumi rushed to stand in their way and waved her hands in front of her in an attempt to dissuade their current course of action. "Please wait! Hokage-sama's...busy right now. You really can't go in there right now!"
Kushina narrowed her eyes and shoved past the secretary, roughly throwing open the door to get a look at what was going on inside the office. What she saw was something she figured she should have expected after all of his supposed 'late nights at the office'.
Naked as the day he was born, Minato was standing behind his desk roughly thrusting in and out of an equally naked Mebuki Haruno. With the noise they were making, it was amazing that they couldn't be heard outside of the office. Then again, she supposed Minato most likely activated the silencing seals before the two of them began this little romp.
Mikoto threw her hands over her mouth and released a gasp in shock at what she was seeing. She couldn't believe that one of her dear friends was having an affair with Minato of all people! She couldn't fathom how long this had been going on, nor could she understand how Mebuki could be doing this behind Kushina's back. How long had she been betraying her friend like this?! Looking at Kushina, Mikoto could feel tears brimming in her eyes as she tried to imagine how Kushina could be feeling about all of this.
Itachi, on the other hand, could only stare on in distaste at what he was seeing. With a sigh, he turned around and approached Itumi. "How long have you known about this?"
Sighing as she watched Kushina and Mikoto leave the room as well, Itumi closed the doors, offering a quick apology to her Hokage and his lover before she retook her seat behind her desk. Closing her eyes, she buried her face in her hands and shook her head. After taking a moment to compose herself, she looked up into Itachi's eyes before shooting a quick glance at Kushina's angry face and then back to Itachi. "He's...been doing this for years now. I only found out about it by accident a few years back, but I'm sure he's been having this affair for much longer. I'm sorry Kushina-sama. I should have told you, but…"
Kushina sighed and shook her head. "No...I understand. He threatened you, didn't he? It's okay. I don't blame you. It's not the worst thing he's ever done." she said with a sigh. Taking a seat, Kushina closed her eyes and shook her head. "I wonder if Naruto knew about this. He probably did. I just wonder why he didn't tell me. Then again, with me being under the seal's effects, I doubt I would have listened to him at the time." she said with a sigh.
Mikoto frowned and placed a comforting hand on her friend's shoulder. "It's not your fault Kushina. You aren't responsible for this or for what happened to you and your son. Minato's the monster here. And as soon as he's done with…that, we'll talk to him and be over with all of this. Hopefully we won't have to deal with him too much after that."
Itachi frowned and shook his head. "I wouldn't be too sure. He IS the Hokage and can call on us for a variety of reasons at any time. Hopefully he will leave you alone Kushina-sama, but there's always a chance something could happen in the future. So always be prepared for anything." he advised.
The lovely redhead sighed and nodded. "I'll be careful. But right now I want to focus on my children and try to make sure they stay safe. I don't want to think about Minato and what he could potentially do to cause problems in the future. Nor do I want to think about how long he's been cheating on me with...with that whore in there. Some friend she turned out to be." Kushina growled out.
It was at this moment that the door opened and Mebuki stepped out, fully dressed and looking slightly disheveled. She looked directly into Kushina's eyes for a moment before quickly hurrying away, unable to utter a word in either apology or explanation. When the group of three looked back into the office, they could see Minato adjusting his Hokage robes before casually motioning for the three of them to enter.
Entering the office, they shut the doors behind themselves before approaching Minato's desk. Standing across from him, they stared across at him apathetically and waited for him to speak, deciding to let him get things started. "Seven years. I assume you wanted to know how long we've been doing this behind your back. Well there's your answer. Now, I assume you three are here for a reason other than to satisfy your curiosity about my affair?" he questioned casually in a tone that clearly showed he didn't care what they thought about his affair with a married woman.
Kushina looked like she had been struck by a rather harsh blow. Unable to stop herself, she spoke up. "Seven...years? You've been cheating on me for seven fucking years?! And with Mebuki of all people?! She is...was...my friend! What the hell were you thinking?! Which one of you started it?!"
Minato quirked an eyebrow as he stared at Kushina and shook his head. "I don't really see how any of that is any of your business anymore Kushina. You kicked me out of your house, remember? Besides, what does it matter? Her husband isn't satisfying her and our marriage has been fucked up for years now. Even with that seal on you, it just wasn't enough to get what I wanted out of you. I needed to find it elsewhere, and Mebuki-chan gives me what I need. Now, tell me what you wanted. I don't have all day."
Kushina snarled and clenched her fists tightly at her sides. She wanted nothing more than to lunge across his desk and strangle the smug bastard, but she knew it wouldn't get her anywhere but in trouble. So, reining in her temper, she took a deep breath and released it slowly in an effort to calm down. Once she felt sufficiently calmed, the beautiful redhead began to speak again. "Mikoto-chan and I came to file for divorce from Fugaku and you respectively. I assume there will be no objection from you about this?"
Minato sighed and nodded his head in acceptance as he reached within a drawer in his desk and pulled out some papers. "I expected this. I already prepared everything in advance earlier. You won't have any objections from me Kushina. I honestly just don't care anymore. I've been ready for this for years. I was really only staying with you out of obligation anyways." he admitted with a shrug of his shoulders.
Before Kushina could say anything in response, Minato signed the papers in the proper spaces and shoved them across the desk. Turning to Mikoto, he offered her a polite smile and decided to be courteous to her. "As for you, I don't quite know what happened to warrant a divorce from Fugaku, but I feel it's safe to assume it's none of my business? It'll be up to you to convince him to sign these, but here you go." he said, shoving some papers across the desk to her as well.
Mikoto decided to be polite to Minato and offer up a small tidbit of information to sate Minato's curiosity as she signed where she needed to. "It's...complicated Hokage-sama. Suffice it to say, our marriage has been a loveless one. I suppose you could say I've stayed with him out of obligation as well, mostly for my children. But what really cemented my decision to leave him is precisely because of my children."
Nodding, Minato closed his eyes and released a breath. "I never did like Fugaku's attitude. I'll admit I've done things others would view as 'despicable', but Fugaku's a genuine asshole. There have been times where I've wanted to have him thrown out of council meetings because of his attitude, but he hasn't stepped out of line enough to warrant such a thing. You have my sympathies for having to deal with such a creature for so long Mikoto."
Blinking in shock at this, the raven-haired woman nodded in thanks to her Hokage and offered him a polite smile. "Thank you Hokage-sama. I appreciate that. I'm just disappointed that he's managed to turn my son Sasuke into a mini-Fugaku. Sadly there's nothing I can do to save him from such a path. Sasuke has made his choice and I have to accept that now."
While Mikoto and Minato talked, Kushina couldn't help but stew. How could Minato speak so casually and kindly with Mikoto while being such an asshole with her? It just wasn't right! Saying such things to her really pissed her off! But, she realized, he was just trying to get under her skin. Taking in a deep breath, she released it slowly and signed the divorce papers where needed. After doing so, she shoved the papers back across the desk to Minato and spoke up to get his attention. "Here Minato. Is this all you needed to finalize the divorce?"
Stopping his conversation with Mikoto, the blond Hokage turned his attention to the divorce papers and examined them to make sure everything was in order. "This is everything I need. And you don't need to worry, I won't challenge you for custody of the kids. They're yours Kushina." Minato said as he stamped the papers and called for Itumi to come and take them away to be filed.
Kushina was a little surprised by that, but nodded her head in thanks. "Th-thank you. But...why?"
Minato sighed and shook his head before reaching up and covering his eyes. "You should know by now that I don't care about Naruto. I do care for Naruko, but she's closer to you. I know that she doesn't want anything to do with me anymore. So I just don't see a point in fighting with you for custody over either of them. Nor do I need visitation rights. I can have more children in the future, so I don't mind. So you can be happy with them Kushina. I just plain don't care."
The violet-eyed beauty sighed and nodded her head. "Well, for what it's worth...thank you. Come on Miko-chan, Itachi-kun, let's get going. I'm sure Minato's got a busy day ahead of him and we still have more to do today as well. Good-bye...Hokage-sama." Kushina said before turning and walking off with Mikoto and Itachi following after her.
After they had left the tower, Mikoto turned to her best friend and offered her a bright smile. "Well, that was unexpected. Yeah, he was a smug asshole, but it went a lot better than expected. I suppose now would be a good time to go and get Fugaku to sign these divorce papers. What are you going to do Kushina-chan?"
Kushina sighed and shook her head. "I'm not sure. I'd like to spend more time with you Miko-chan, but I'm not allowed in the Uchiha compound anymore. So I suppose I can wait for you at Ramen Ichiraku? Would that be okay?"
The ex-matriarch of the Uchiha clan nodded her head and hugged her friend close. "I'll see you soon. Come Itachi, let's go pay a visit to your father and get this divorce business settled. I want this over and done with as soon as possible so we can be free of him." Mikoto said before turning and walking off with her eldest, and now considered only son.
Watching them walk off, the leader of the Uzumaki clan could only hope that things went well for her dear friend. Sighing, she turned and began walking off to go and see her friends at the Ramen Ichiraku stand. I wonder how Naruto and Naruko are doing…
With Naruto - Earlier
Our blond protagonist couldn't help but sigh to himself as he tried to remain calm where he was standing. Being left alone in a village that hated him wasn't a pleasant feeling. They still didn't know all that he went through in this wretched place. How could they? Right now, he just hoped that Naruko and Satsuki would return soon so they could get to the academy and out of danger. Sadly, it just wasn't meant to be.
Appearing from around a corner came three ninja, each wearing a flak jacket that signified that they were chunin level in rank. Two were female while one was male, and they were each conversing about some random topic before laying eyes upon him. When they did, and they noticed that he was all by his lonesome, the male of the group gained a sadistic gleam in his eye and a smirk on his face. "Well well, what do we have here? If it isn't the Kyuubi incarnate? And he's all by himself too. My my girls, what should we do with him?" he asked his friends.
One of the girls frowned and looked about ready to speak, but the other girl beat her to the punch. "I say we make him suffer. I lost my mom in that attack and I haven't had a good chance to punish this little shit for it. I've heard so many stories from people about how they've pounded him real good, but not me yet. I'm amazed he's still alive. Then again...I suppose being the Kyuubi brat has its perks." Cracking her knuckles, the kunoichi grinned menacingly at Naruto and withdrew a kunai from the pouch on her calf. "I hope you're prepared you punk. I'm going to enjoy cutting into you."
The other kunoichi spoke up at this point as she stepped in front of her friends. "Guys, come on. We shouldn't be doing this. It's wrong. Let's just leave him alone and be on our way. Please?"
The male of the group snarled and gripped her by the hair, yanking her head back before slamming his fist into her face repeatedly. "If you're going to try and get in our way, then you're better off laying there where you won't be a damn problem. Because you're our friend, or at least you were, I won't kill you. You should feel grateful." he said before tossing her to the ground and kicking her in the side a couple of times.
When it looked as if she was about to struggle to her feet, the other kunoichi of the group quickly pressed a knee into her back and pressed her kunai against the back of her throat. "I swear to Kami that if you try to get up, I'll fucking kill you. I don't care if you're my friend, or rather were, the mere fact that you want to protect that monster is enough to warrant your death in my eyes! So shut up, stay down, and be a good girl while we kill this monster." she demanded before standing up and turning to make her way towards Naruto.
As the duo approached him, Naruto released a sigh and closed his eyes in resignation. He knew this was bound to happen and had no plans to fight it. Fighting it never ended well and just made things worse for him every time. It was best to just let things be and wait for them to get bored usually.
However, a thought entered his head and it caused his eyes to shoot wide open as he came to a sudden realization. Satsuki. Naruko. I can't let them see this! Looking at his soon-to-be assailants, the blond realized that he would need to fight back this time. Glancing down at his side, he knew he had just the right tool to do so.
Grasping the hilt of his katana, he waited until the male drew just close enough and withdrew his blade in one quick flurry, almost as if he had practiced it a million times before, and severed the man's left arm right below his shoulder. Unable to believe what he had just done, Naruto froze, both from shock and from the sight of the blood shooting from the stump that was left in the arm's place. Being inexperienced as he was, this was just too much for him and it left him open for what was coming next.
While the man screamed out in agony at losing his arm, the woman stared in shock for just a moment before her rage urged her on and she lashed out with her fist, catching Naruto in the eye and not just stunning him, but knocking him to the ground and temporarily blinding him in that eye.
Once the teenager was down, the woman pounced on him and began to wildly slash and stab him repeatedly, refusing to let him get in another attack like that. At some point during this attack, she knocked away his blade and began to laugh hysterically. "Finally! Oh Kami finally! You have no idea how long I've waited to make you pay for all you've put me through you Kami forsaken brat! Why Hokage-sama allowed you to live for so long is beyond my understanding. But…"
Looking down at the young man underneath her, the woman couldn't help but admire his appearance for a time. "You know, Minato did do something right with you. You got his looks at the very least. Tell me brat, are you a virgin, or has that been taken from you already too?" she questioned with a rather sadistic gleam in her eyes.
Naruto, already bleeding out and unable to put up any form of resistance, widened his eyes and shook his head in fear. "Please...don't do this. I want to save...my first time...for someone s-special...to me…" he pleaded weakly.
Smiling brightly to herself, the woman quickly performed a medical technique to patch Naruto up just enough so he wouldn't bleed out on her and leaned down until her lips were just centimeters from his. "Don't worry Kyuubi, I promise you're going to enjoy every fucking second of this. After all, I'm not without compassion. Even you don't deserve to die without first feeling the touch of a woman. Now, sit still and let me rock your world." she said sultrily before she captured his lips with hers in a fiery kiss while she snaked her hands into his pants to begin massaging his member.
As this happened, Naruto's eyes rolled into the back of his head and he retreated into his subconscious, unable and unwilling to stay conscious through what was about to happen to him. I'm sorry Naruko, Satsuki...I just can't do this…
After Naruto fell into blissful unconsciousness, the woman pulled back from the kiss and found herself smirking. "Oh, he can't sleep through this. I won't let him." she said to herself as she slowly freed his member from his pants and got a good look at it. "Mmmm, for being the Kyuubi brat, he's sure got a delicious looking cock. I think I might just enjoy this." she said as she pulled back her hair and engulfed Naruto's cock in her mouth. Running her tongue along its length, she began to savor the taste of it and moaned loudly as she began to bob her head up and down, enjoying her ministrations on his cock.
It was this scene that Satsuki and Naruko stumbled upon as they returned to the area they had left their darling Naruto at. The first thing they noticed was all the blood pooling around a man as he lay still on the ground. It appeared that he had thrashed around at first, most likely from the shock of losing his arm, but then he had gone into shock and, without proper medical treatment, soon perished.
They noticed another woman lying on the ground nearby, but she didn't appear to have any serious wounds on her. Instead she looked to be quivering in fear, afraid of something, but they weren't sure what. When she looked their way, she gave them an apologetic look before motioning with her hands and eyes towards something. Looking that way, their eyes widened in horror at what they were witnessing. However, feelings of rage also bubbled up inside of them and caused two things to happen with the both of them.
Seeing their beloved Naruto-kun in such a bloody, violated state and seeing that woman further violating him in the way that she was caused them to feel such rage that Satsuki's Sharingan eyes sprung to life, a single tomoe spinning in both eyes. Naruko, on the other hand, allowed the Kyuubi's influence to spring to life and cover her in a two-tailed cloak as she got down on her hands and feet.
As the two of them prepared to attack the woman assaulting their beloved, something strange began to happen. Pink and orange chains began to wrap themselves around Naruto as he was lifted off the ground. His wounds began to heal and the kunoichi that had been assaulting him was blown backwards and sent tumbling along the ground, end over end. When the blond academy student touched back down on the ground again, he opened his eyes and immediately collapsed to his knees, unable to support his own weight or move even a single muscle.
However, what happened next might be an even stranger occurrence than this! A bright glow came from Naruto's stomach and a bright light shot out from it and hit the ground mere feet from him before disappearing in a flash. Standing there was a beautiful young woman in her late teens, looking to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with beautiful red hair and golden eyes with slitted pupils. She was wearing a rather short pink outfit that exposed a lot of leg and, if she were to bend over too far, you would easily be able to see what kind of panties she was wearing. On her feet she wore white socks with orange leggings that went up to just below her knees and she wore platform sandals as well. Something that everyone there noticed was that she carried a daisho set, in this case a dual pair of katana that, unknown to everyone there, were unusually colored.
Turning around so she could face Naruto, the unknown woman walked over to Naruto and knelt down until she was face-to-face with him. Without speaking a word to him, she gently tucked his penis back into his pants and offered him a sultry smirk. "There you go. Wouldn't want to leave that hanging out, now would we Na-ru-to-kun?" Leaning in, she placed a light kiss upon his lips and licked his lips afterwards, just to tease him a little. "Mmm, tasty. Now, what do you say you leave this bitch to me? I'll make her suffer for daring to lay a hand on you, my darling."
Earlier - Naruto's Mindscape
As Naruto opened his eyes, he didn't expect to appear inside of the sewer that was his mindscape. Looking around, he could see the water up to his knees and knew that it was bad. It had never been like this before, and he had been here a number of times before. However, he had yet to meet the Kyuubi after all these years. So he figured this would be just like all the other times and he'd be left on his own to suffer in misery just as usual.
However, what he didn't expect was for the water to suddenly begin pulling him along by his feet in one direction in a sudden rush of speed. Screaming out as he was dragged along, Naruto flailed his arms about in an attempt to remain upright, barely able to keep himself from being dragged under the water.
Eventually he came to a stop. When he did, he panted for breath and began to look around frantically, trying to figure out where the hell he was now. When he looked up, he saw the mighty Kyuubi staring down at him from behind its cage, the seal in plain view keeping it trapped behind the bars. Realizing that the Kyuubi must have brought him here, Naruto breathed out a sigh of relief and offered it a polite smile and a wave. "Umm...hi there?"
Sighing, the Kyuubi closed its eyes and smacked ones of its paws against the cage. "Why are you just giving up Naruto? Are you really willing to just let that woman rape you like this?"
Shaking his head, the teenager frowned up at the Kyuubi and shook his head. "I don't know what to do. I froze up when I cut off that man's arm…" Naruto said ashamedly. "I know I shouldn't have. I just...I couldn't help it. I've never done something like that before and it's my first time seeing so much...so much blood that wasn't my own...I just froze. She took advantage of my moment of weakness and knocked my blade away from me. And she wounded me so badly. What can I do?"
Sighing once again, the Kyuubi nodded its head and looked upwards at the ceiling for a moment before it came to a decision. Looking down at the young man before it, the beast began to glow a bright pink and began to shrink down until it stood at a height of 5' 8" and donned her human form. Approaching a gap in the bars, she reached out and tried to extend her arm out through the opening in the bars, only to flinch back when she received a rather nasty shock. "Damn. Naruto...we need to talk." she said.
Blinking in shock at what he was seeing, the fifteen year old approached the cage and looked the woman before him over with an appraising eye. When he was finished, he couldn't help the words that left his mouth. "Wow Kyuubi. You look beautiful."
Unable to help herself, Kyuubi blushed prettily and turned her head, looking away from her container. Quietly, she mumbled out, "Th-thank you...Naruto. I mean that. But really…" Turning back to him, she reached out and held her hand palm out towards him, hoping he'd get the message. When he placed his palm against hers, she smiled and intertwined her fingers with his, giving his hand a gentle squeeze. "We really need to talk Naruto. My dear Naruto-kun."
Nodding in response, Naruto listened raptly as the woman began to speak. "My name is Jubei Yagyu. I have lived a very long time Naruto-kun. I am what is known as a master samurai. My friends and I were cursed and transformed into the beasts you know these days as the bijuu by the Sage of Six Paths a very long time ago. All we wanted was to be left alone in peace to live out our days as we wanted, but he felt we were too powerful to be left alone and needed to be dealt with in some manner. So...he used his precious ninshu, a power that was foreign to us at the time, and cursed us, transforming us into these wretched beasts. He...isn't the kind man that everyone worships him as."
Naruto was floored. The legendary Sage of Six Paths was a fucking monster that cursed a group of innocent people simply for existing?! Who the fuck did he think he was to get away with something like that?! What kind of asshole did you have to be to even do something like that anyways?! Obviously the kind of guy that was the Sage of Six Paths, otherwise he wouldn't have done something like that to the poor bijuu. Looking into Jubei's eyes, the blue-eyed blond frowned and shook his head. "I...didn't know. I'm so sorry." he said.
Shaking her head, Jubei offered Naruto a smile and tugged on Naruto's arm, pulling him into the cage with her where she wrapped him in a hug and proceeded to kiss his forehead. "It's okay my darling. I've…" Sighing, Jubei closed her eyes and shook her head again. "No, even after all this time, I can't say that I've forgiven him. My other half may have, but I still haven't. It's hard to forgive a man comes into your life and wrongs you just because you're different."
Naruto nodded in understanding and hugged her just a bit tighter. "Don't think about it. Why don't you tell me about your friends and this other half of yours? Wait...that can wait until later. I'm sure there's more important things you need to talk to me about first. Besides, I'm sure you have some kind of plan to help me out of my current situation, so I'm eager to hear you out." he said with a cheerful smile.
The samurai woman nodded once and pulled Naruto tighter against her. "You're right. There's simply no time to tell you about my friends right now. What you need to know right now is that the Sandaime's seal is siphoning my power. I can't help you so long as it remains in place. If you want me to help you, I need you to remove it and free me. I promise you, it won't hurt you. More importantly, I won't hurt you. You're my most precious person Naruto-kun. I love you most dearly. You are my beloved Naruto-kun and I'll cherish you until the end of time."
Nodding once, Naruto stepped back from her and proceeded to the seal where he gripped it by the corner and ripped it off in one quick, fluid motion. As soon as it was off, the door swung open and a great burst of power burst forth from the cage, washing over Naruto. As a result, he was forced to close his eyes and cover his face with his arms in an effort to not be bowled over by the immense force that was crashing over him.
When the teenager lowered his arms and opened his eyes, the beautiful Jubei Yagyu was standing before him with a beautiful smile on her face with her dual katana held in both hands. Looking them both over, she soon looked into her beloved's eyes and she sheathed her weapons before grabbing Naruto's chin and tugging him close. "What do you say we get me out of your mindscape and into the real world, hm? I want to make that bitch suffer for daring to lay a hand on you. That...and I want to stake my claim on you. You're mine Na-ru-to-kun. Well, I suppose I'm willing to share you with those cuties Satsuki and Naruko." she said with a giggle before she leaned in and captured Naruto's lips with hers.
It was at this point that chains shot up and began to wrap around Naruto's body within his mindscape. At the same time, Jubei's body began to vanish from the mindscape while the seal on Naruto's stomach began to glow.
Present Time - Outside the Seal
Looking himself over, Naruto couldn't help but question what the fuck was going on. Struggling to lift his head, he looked into Jubei's eyes and offered her a crooked smile. "Umm...Jubei-chan? What the heck is going on here? What's with these chains? Why can't I move?"
Sighing, the beautiful master samurai leaned in and pressed her lips to his again before running her fingers through his hair gently. "My previous master encountered the same thing at first. His name was Muneakira and the very same chains bound him every time we kissed to bring out my power. The secret to overcoming these chains was for him to become stronger. So, my darling Naruto-kun, all you need to do is train and become stronger. With time, you will no longer be bound by these chains when we kiss. I promise."
Nodding his head in understanding, Naruto looked over his shoulder at the kunoichi as she struggled to her feet and pointed at them. "What the fuck is going on here? Who is she and why the fuck is she getting in my way?!"
Sighing again, Jubei Yagyu rose to her feet and turned around to face the annoyance. "My name is Jubei Yagyu and I am your soon to be executioner. After what you tried to do to my darling, you can't be allowed to live." With a twinkle in one of her golden eyes, Jubei placed her hands upon the hilts of her blades and, before the kunoichi could react, disappeared. In a blur of speed, Jubei was behind her and was already sheathing her katanas. Once they were fully sheathed, the kunoichi fell apart into four separate pieces, blood pooling on the ground where she fell.
When Jubei turned to return to Naruto's side, she saw Satsuki and Naruko kneeling beside him, checking to make sure he was okay. After the chains receded and they were sure he was alright again, they turned to Jubei and pouted at her. Naruko spoke up to voice their thoughts. "No fair Whoever-You-Are. Satsuki-chan and I wanted to do that."
Giggling, Jubei nodded her head in understanding and reached out to pat Naruko on the cheek. "I'm sure you could have too. However, it's been years since I've been able to stretch my legs and that bitch hurt my darling Naruto-kun." Seeing how the two girls were looking at her now, the redhead sighed and held up a hand before they could say anything. "We can talk about it later. Right now, you three need to get to class."
Before anyone could say anything, a quartet of ANBU appeared surrounding them and the leader stepped forward with a hand on the hilt of his blade. "I'm afraid you four aren't going anywhere. You're going to need to come with us."
"Wait!" the remaining chunin kunoichi shouted as she quickly rose to her feet. "If you're taking them before the Hokage and the council, then please bring me along as well. I was witness to the entire thing. They'll need an unbiased account of everything that transpired here." she stated, hoping they would heed her words and bring her along.
Nodding his head in understanding, the lead ANBU, a man with gravity-defying silver hair, turned to face her. "Alright, we'll bring you along." Turning back to face Naruto, the ANBU captain wasn't sure how to feel about him exactly. On the one hand, this was Minato's child. But on the other, Minato clearly didn't care much about him. Now, as Minato's student, he could blindly follow in his sensei's footsteps and show just as much disdain for the boy, but…
With a sigh, Kakashi reached out and ruffled Naruto's hair. "Hopefully you have better luck today Naruto-kun." he said with an unseen eye-smile. "Now, let's get going."
A/N - And there we go. That's the end of the chapter. Hopefully you enjoyed it. If you didn't...I apologize sincerely. I put a lot of work into it and I did the very best I could with it. Especially considering all the crap I had to go through. My laptop crapping out on me was seriously unexpected, and then all this other shit I've had to deal with...it's been a MASSIVE pain in the ass. So hopefully this chapter was to your liking. I'll try to get another chapter up soon. I had so much more planned, so I want to work on another chapter of this story ASAP.
Anyways, as you can see, Jubei Yagyu from the Hyakka Ryouran series has been introduced and she is the mighty Kyuubi. She's even hinted that other characters from the Hyakka Ryouran series are the other bijuu! She's also made mention of Muneakira! How about that huh? lol.
Also, as you can see, Naruko's approached Satsuki about becoming a samurai girl herself. She's the second girl that's going to be with Naruto with Jubei Yagyu being #3. Hopefully nobody has a problem with that.
Anywho, I can't think of too much else to say. I've been up all damn night and I've been dealing with a LOT of shit for a while now. Again, I hope you enjoyed the chapter.
