Alright, I had a good… (?) day break…so why don't we get started on reviews?
Mzr90: Don't worry, I read all my reviews, consider ALL suggestions, and I'm not usually an asshole bout' it. ^_^ Plus the fact you've been reading my shit since the beginning, gives you some bonus points in consideration :)
ScorpinokXV: Again, thank you for your review. I didn't want to give Naruto something he couldn't have gotten during canon, unless he was given an obvious opportunity to that I could exploit. So there is going to be no medical jutsu for Naruto-besides the obvious self-regeneration. The whole MBI situation will be explained personally by the local nerd of Izumo inn *epic drumroll*…MATSU! The whole deal with Naruto basically telling her to screw off was he could sense she was the chakra signature he could always sense in the house, so he didn't really take her as a threat.
lou2003us: Thank you, and as long as I don't get lazy, the good work shall continue.
wolf191000: Thanks, and Lemons? Well it is a harem story…and it's Sekirei…plus Naruto's stamina…Yes. But I'm not going to be spamming them, and putting in erotic foursomes with Naruto and his girls. Perverted as I am, I'm a sexy romantic - 'one woman at a time ladies'. *Winks*
Silber D. Wolf: Thank you ^.^
Azurealkaze: Nice to know. And about the gambling tidbit, I already got something planned with that.
Zaralann: Don't worry, as I said before, I CONSIDER EVERYTHING SUGGESTED! If they don't fit up, or I simply can't because they're winged, then the odds are I won't add them. However, if they're free game and they could fit with Naruto + any Sekirei he has at the point in time, then I don't see why not. But Ichiya #18…I never-NEVER… would put her with Naruto. She honestly is kind of a bitch, and Naruto has cooled down from his previous personality, so they don't mix. If I feel like putting in a hand to hand Sekirei it will be Benitsubasa. Oh, and the whole Kurama thing will be explained later on in the story.
Ronin Kenshin: Thank you.
Alright, time for the chapter.
…
Uzumaki Naruto could be described as many things at the moment, but one triumphed over all, and that was annoyed. It wasn't due to the fact that he had just possibly met one of the most annoying people ever in his life, just mere moments ago. No, it was because that annoying person was trying to rape him. Oh, fun fact to his troubles: Akitsu is very possessive.
Finding himself standing in the middle of the two scrapping Sekirei, while Miya watched like nothing was happening, and Minato was being as much as a pussy as ever with his own Sekirei, the blonde could only sigh. With a deep draw of breath, the Sage effortlessly pushed the two Sekirei away from each other like toddlers, and commanded monotonously "Stop."
To Minato's shock, both Sekirei obeyed without question. Naruto gave the two Sekirei a glance, before he grimaced and walked out of the room muttering in English "Crazy ass women." Making his way out of the house, he absently noticed Kagari jumping away, cloaked in black. Not even batting an eyelash, he simply continued his way to work.
After work, Naruto had a looming air around him. He walked along the barren town streets, which settled into dusk long ago, with his gaze fogged was currently thinking 'All of this…its odd…Sekirei…beings who are driven by fate…fate, that's what Neji rambled on about when we younger? I wonder…' He finished his thought with a low whisper "…If there is...what's my fate?"
He honestly didn't expect to be hit by a torrent of water, followed by a yell of "TIS' DEATH!" Getting thrashed into a wall, all the while getting soaked, Naruto coughed out a glob of blood. He weakly winced and looked at his attacker. It was a blonde haired female, right around five foot five, with a large bust. She had blue eyes, and wore a black dress, followed by a chocker, and short stockings. With a trail of blood dripping down his chin, Naruto demanded "What the hell are you doing lady?"
She merely stalked forward, her glowering glare increasing, but he could see something deeper within it.
She was scared.
The woman hissed "I will not be coupled with a brute like thou!"
(I suck at typing Shakespearian)
That's when Naruto noticed it; he could feel what this woman was feeling…did that mean she's supposed to be his Sekirei? His eyes became lidded emotionlessly, his gaze burrowed into her own, and he gave the empty response "Try me."
The woman slightly recoiled at what he said, but eventually a torrent of water shot at him.
Naruto woke up with a slight gasp. He glared around, eyes trained on everything around him, eyes that of a hardened killer. Noticing he was sitting on the work bench, and it was in the dead of night, the blonde figured he must have fallen asleep. Slowly allowing his eyes to soften, Naruto sighed and got off the bench. The blonde slid his glasses above his brow and scratched his cheek for a moment, inwardly wondering when he had fallen asleep.
Shaking his head, he started walking out of the construction site. Once he stepped on the sidewalk, he sensed Minato's and Matsu's chakra flare. The blonde mumbled with a sigh of relief "Thank god…"
Continuing his was down the road, he trekked on for a few moments, until he suddenly stopped. Grunting in a low tone, he asked more to himself "Are you fucking kidding me?"
Out of an alleyway, four men brandishing various handguns, walked out, shit eating grins in place. The blonde gave them a glare, and warned "Before you do whatever you're planning with those guns, know even if you manage to wound me, you're life's will be in forfeit."
One man demanded "Give us everything you got, you white pig!"
Tilting his head slightly, Naruto nonchalantly shot back "Why would I do that, sushi-dick?"
Seeing as one man clicked the hammer back, he merely grimaced, and started walking towards them. Dully noting the obvious shock in their eyes, he was slightly prepared for the barrage of bullets which came flying his way. Managing to dodge the majority of the bullets, Naruto produced a Fuma Shuriken from a summoning seal, and sent it flying at his assaulters. Blood splattered across the city walls, and multiple dull thuds hit the ground. With a small snap of his fingers, the Fuma Shuriken disappeared in a puff of smoke, while he examined his person for wounds.
It was an odd sight, seeing multiple gunshot wounds in your shoulder trailing down to your stomach, and one in your left knee. The odd thing was he didn't feel a damn thing. Maybe it was the adrenaline? This would be the first time he's been in a life or death situation in a good three years. Cupping a hand over his bleeding areas, he started making one handed seals…well that was until he felt the initial adrenaline wear off.
The growl never left his throat, as he bit his lip down in pain. Forcing both hands into the ram sign, he forced as much chakra as he could muster outwards, causing four little metal shards to fly out of his body.
Scoffing in an annoyed manner, Naruto forced himself down the street, heading towards the closest ER.
…
Naruto irritably sat in a hospital bed, his abdomen covered in medical tape and bandages, while a brace adorned his left kneecap. It was kind of funny to see how stumped the doctors were, seeing as they couldn't figure out how he healed so inhumanly fast. A nurse walked into the room and made her way over to the release forms Naruto had laid out on the nightstand. Glancing at it for a moment, she hummed "Everything seems in order…even though you healed…abnormally, you're allowed to leave on your leisure."
He gave the woman a nod, and she made her way out of the room. Once he heard the door click to a shut, he heatedly glared at the crutches by his bed. The blonde seethed "Of all the gay shit I have to deal with! …Why couldn't have they given me a wheelchair? Wheelchairs are tit magnets…"
Depressingly getting off the bed, he positioned himself into his crutches, and limped out of the room. As he walked down the halls, he heard a familiar voice of laughter. Tilting his head slightly, he waddled towards a cracked open door. Naruto leaned forward, peeping into the door, and was surprised to see it was Uzume talking to a brown haired teen confined to a bed.
His inner curiosity peaked; he popped his head through the door and drawled "Uzume-san?"
The laughter stopped as both women turned their sights to the door, as Naruto crutched in. Uzume gasped "Uzumaki-san, what happened to you!"
Waving her off, the blonde responded with a smirk "Eh, I just sent some thugs with guns to the morgue… Ara, this your Ashikabi?"
Uzume's eyes narrowed slightly, as she asked warily "…How do you know about that?" Naruto ignored her question, seeing as he waltzed-waddled-to the woman on the bed, and hung his hand out with a smile "Uzumaki Naruto, I live in the same building as Uzume-san." The woman smiled pleasantly, shaking Naruto's hand gently, and introduced herself softly "Chiho Hidaka…and yes I am Uzume-chan's Ashikabi."
The blonde smiled brightly, though contrast to what he was showing, inwardly he thought darkly 'Her chakra signature is very weak…she's slowly dying.' Uzume watched with widened eyes as Naruto started talking to her Ashikabi with a sense of playfulness, something she has never saw from the mysterious blonde. After a few minutes of laughter, Uzume hugged Chiho and said "I-we-have to go now, I'll be back tomorrow alright?"
Chiho nodded, and gave a smile towards Naruto "Will you come back some time Naruto-kun?" The blonde gave her a foxy grin and assured "Sure, when I get the chance I'll come back with Uzume-san." Chiho smiled slightly wider, while Uzume and Naruto walked-or crutched in Naruto's case-out of the room.
Once they were a good fifteen feet away from the room, Uzume grabbed Naruto by the throat and slammed him against the wall. She growled "How did you know I'm a Sekirei?" Naruto smoothly lied as if he wasn't affected by the rough slam "Ara, Ara, Uzume-chan, Akitsu-chan merely told me she sensed that you were a Sekirei…why such a violent reaction?"
Uzume's eyes widened by a large margin, as she slowly let Naruto slide off her grip, and stuttered "G-Gomen-" Naruto hopped back on his crutches, and waved her off while limping away "Nah, its fine. Everyone has their secrets."
With that said, the ex-Shinobi made his way back home, Uzume in tow.
When Naruto walked into the door of Izumo inn, he was oddly enough tackled by Musubi, which was apparently completely accidental, and that fuss of noise sounded everyone to come towards the door. Imagine everyone's surprise when they saw Naruto a crumpled heap on the ground, covered in medical tape, and brandishing crutches.
The blonde gave everyone a dry expression, before silently pulling himself up back onto his crutches. Miya asked in genuine concern "Uzumaki-san, what happened?" The Sage carelessly shrugged his shoulders and muttered "You'll hear 'bout it on TV soon enough." Seeing as the deadly visage appeared behind the landlady, Naruto decided he should further explain "Mah, just some chinks with guns…I hate pussies with guns…"
The blonde trailed off, staring down at his injured leg with a grimace. Minato further questioned "Wait! If you got shot what happened? Did they run off, did they take your money-" Naruto answered with an appalled yet amused expression "Take my money? Fuck nah, them bitches are breathing dirt." It took a moment, but the gravity of what Naruto said sunk in deep.
Uzume suddenly exclaimed from behind Naruto "Wait a minute, you killed them?"
The Uzumaki gave the girl a deadpanned expression and drawled lazily "They had guns. I had my awesome yet sexy self. Mix those two together with some arrogance, and you'll just end up as a blood stain on my shoe." Minato asked the most obvious question "Do the police know?" He received a nod as an answer. There was an eerie moment of silence, before Musubi jumped up and beamed "Does that mean you're a good fighter, Naruto-san?"
Giving the girl a questionable nod, she squealed and begged "PLEASE SPAR WITH ME NARUTO-SAN!" The blonde raised a crutch with a deadpanned expression, hoping the girl would under-and she started dragging him to the backyard…just great. Being thrown by the Sekirei, Naruto stuck a crutch in the ground and swung down to his feet.
Musubi settled in an offensive stance, while Naruto gave a dumbfounded "Huh?" Taking his voice as the beginning of the spar, Musubi rushed forward with great show of speed. With narrowed eyes, Naruto abandoned the crutches, and hopped on his right leg, and caught Musubi's powerful jab.
Quickly throwing her hand to the left, he narrowly avoided the onslaught of attacks the girl kept on sending. Everyone watched with wide eyes as Naruto kept on avoiding attacks that no normal human should be able to keep up with. Naruto complimented between bops and weaves "You've-been-practicing-I-see-your-attacks-flow-better-now."
If anything, that only made Musubi attack with renewed vigor. Dunking under an overhand right, Naruto under-hooked her extended arm and over-hooked her cocked shoulder. With a slight fall, the blonde flipped her over his body, and landed on top of her, forearm to her throat. With a genuinely pleased smile, the Uzumaki got off the Sekirei, and offered a hand up.
Musubi gladly accepted the hand, and pulled herself up; pleasantly surprised he could keep his balance with only one leg. Once upright, the fist-type Sekirei asked with a bright smile "Naruto-san, how did you learn to fight like that? It was amazing!" Supporting himself on one recently retrieved crutch, Naruto lazily replied "That was fighting? Nah that was just a lateral-drop…my fighting style meant for only one thing, and that is to kill your opponent."
Blinking a few times he realized everyone was gaping at him with shock rolling off them. The blonde merely scratched his chest, and carelessly reached into his back pocket…only to pat it a few times. With widening eyes, he patted himself down multiple times, before cursing "Fuck, my Costas are gone! Oh shit, not my phone too!"
Sweat drops were shared by the Ashikabi and Sekirei watching, all the while, Naruto spewed words which were not meant for Kusano's ears. Easily avoiding the large rock sent his way curiosity of Miya, he threw the deadly woman an amused glance.
"…Cute."
Ah, there was that deadly visage again! Shrugging the woman off, the Sage ran a hand through his hair, and mumbled "First that weird ass dream, and now this?"
Minato piped in "Wait…you had a weird dream too?"
The blonde seemingly ignored him, but inwardly filed that little tidbit of information away for later. He merely grumbled, staring at his wounds with a burning fury, and hobbled off into the house. Upon reaching his room, he was blocked in by Akitsu, who murmured with concern swelling in her eyes "Ashikabi-sama…you're hurt…"
Blinking, the blonde turned slightly and stated indignantly "No, I'm fine!"
She stepped forward and gently traced his bullet wounds, which were slowly bleeding into his black shirt. With slightly widened eyes, Naruto mumbled "Oh…I didn't notice that." To his surprise, a devious glint appeared in his Sekirei's eyes, while the door closed by a passing wind, and she produced medical tape and medical alcohol from nowhere in particular.
With a cocked eyebrow, the Uzumaki asked slowly "Akitsu-chan…what are you doing?"
When he suddenly found himself stripped of most of his clothes, he could only blink before he was pounced on by the ice wielding Sekirei.
…
Even though the events of the day before troubled Naruto to a good extent, he couldn't help but grin as he walked out the door sans crutches. He absolutely loved his healing capabilities, and was basking every moment because of it. With a slight chuckle, the blonde proclaimed "I'm the Juggernaut bitch!"
Minato sweat dropped from beside him, and muttered "Uzumaki-san…not in front of Ku-chan…"
Nonchalantly slapping Minato on the back-causing the guy to stumble forward-the sage exclaimed "Mah, she's old 'nuff to hear that! Isn't that right Kusano-chan?" The small girl quickly hid behind Minato sheepishly. Not even bothered in the slightest, the blonde continued his march into town, Minato and Kusano meekly following in tow. A slightly disturbed Minato asked the unusually cheerful Naruto "Uzumaki-san, how are you not on crutches?"
Casting a quick glare at the boy, he answered in a slightly dampened mood "I heal fast."Rolling his neck out, the blonde Uzumaki asked in his now bored drawl "So…we're looking for that Sekirei you had a dream of? Tsukiumi was it?"
The brown haired male nodded in response, while he sounded the name out "Moon-sea…ma, I guess it fits with you well 'Port'."
Minato joked back "Right back at you, 'Maelstrom'."
Giving an amused giggle, Kusano made some odd swirling gesture with her hands. Just as they were rounding a corner, Naruto noticed a vender selling ramen from a cart. With awestruck eyes, the Sage started running towards the stand, yelling back "I'll catch up in a minute!"
Forty minutes-and fifteen bowls of miso ramen-later...
Naruto, with a slightly larger belly, contently walked down the streets of Tokyo with a toothy grin, patting his enlarged stomach happily. "I gotta' give it to that guy…those are some kickass noodles."
Belching his good meal away, the blonde noticed a flux in chakra signatures a couple miles away. 'How in the hell did I miss that?' thought the ex-Shinobi. Quickly whipping the remains of his meal off his chin, the Uzumaki made a quick ram seal.
With a swirl of wing, the blonde disappeared in a brilliant swirl of leafs.
(A/N-Naruto had a surplus of time to learn the Shunshin no jutsu, so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubton this one.)
When Naruto appeared in the air above the chakra signatures, what he saw really honestly pissed him off. Minato was being a pussy-yet again. "S-Seo-san…please let her go." Unable to contain his sigh, the Sage landed with a heavy thud next to the quivering Ashikabi. Training his eyes on Seo and blonde Sekirei, who he assumed was 'Tsukiumi'; he gathered Seo was attempting a forced winging.
He noticed the woman's eyes widening when she was alerted of his presence, followed by Minato barely mustering up enough courage to speak again, and the sly glint found in Seo's eyes. Snapping his attention towards Minato, he decided to follow along with Seo's plan "Fuck Minato, be a goddamn man for once in your life!" Everyone was shocked by his sudden outburst, which could be supported by Minato's sudden startled stutter "W-what?"
Grabbing the lengthy teen by the scruff of his shirt, he forcefully pointed towards Tsukiumi "Are you going to let Seo wing your," Inwardly he sighed at the concept "-Sekirei? You're going to let the one thing that makes you sick happen right in front of you?" He received a slow shake of the head. Roughly pushing the teen towards the couple, Naruto roared "PROVE ME WRONG, AND DO SOMETHING!"
The brunet proclaimed in a slightly more forceful tone "S-She's my Sekirei!" Seo stared at the teen for a moment, before smirking and letting Tsukiumi go. Just as he was about to say something, the voices of his own Sekirei hit his eardrums accompanied by a torrent of lightning. The female blonde dropped down from the structure of trees next to Minato, and started unfolding a truly amusing scene in Naruto's eyes.
Scratching his own chest with profound disinterest, the Jinchuuriki attempted to look anywhere else besides the awkward moment happening in front of him. "Very well, I the Sekirei Tsukiumi, accept thy marriage proposal in good grace!"
Naruto sputtered in amusement "Marriage…Pftwhahahaha!" As the group of Ashikabi and Sekirei stared at the American, Naruto barely collected himself to a low chuckle "God…she already has you by the balls!"
Their blushes only added fuel to Naruto's amusement. Before anything else could be said, Tsukiumi glared evilly at her fellow blonde, her expression promising pain, and lots of it. Stopping mid chuckle, the Sage locked gazes with the blonde Sekirei, until Musubi randomly jumped down from the rooftops "Minato-san! Are you alright?"
On cue, Kusano jumped on Minato's leg in an odd position. Seo couldn't help himself as he saw the look of disbelief in Tsukiumi's eyes. "HAHAHAHA-Oh my, this is priceless!" Naruto seemed to agree with the slightly shorter man, as he appeared next to him, arm around his neck giving a hearty chuckle.
Tsukiumi all but growled "Minato-san…how many Sekirei do thou have?" The brown haired teen took a moment to think, before he muttered "Ah, I suppose you'd be the fourth…" If Seo and Naruto were laughing before, they were in for a lot more of the natural stress-reliever. It seemed Seo's Sekirei twins didn't find their predicament as amusing, seeing as they sent a current of lightning at the pair.
With an almost nonchalant manner, Naruto simply sidestepped the electricity, while pulling Seo with him. Giving one last chuckle, the blonde huffed "Shits n' giggles set aside…Oi, don't look at me like that! I already told you, I don't give a rat's ass if Ku-chan can hear me!" Glowering at the teen, the Uzumaki started speaking of other 'colorful' topics, all leading back to the point of Kusano's prepubescent innocence.
Being distracted long enough, the blonde was sent flying into a wall via water wave and lightning torrent. Only when the two mixed, the Sekirei realized the consequences of what they actually did. With a large explosion, smoke cascaded the area while a deathly vibe weighed in the air. Tsukiumi felt a strong pull of her heartstrings, while Minato and Seo stared in shock, mimicked by the own respective Sekirei.
All was silent for a moment, until a silhouette of Naruto appeared in the smoke, standing upright and hands stuffed in his pockets. With a lazy wave of his right hand, the smoke split in front of Naruto and dissipated into the atmosphere. To everyone's shock, the blonde was virtually unharmed give or take a few scruffs and singes.
Boringly noting their surprise, Naruto had to wonder why they were in such a state, he is, after all, a Shin-
"Fuck."
Carefully picking his next words, the blonde attempted "Uh…It's a miracle!
…No?
Yeah, I didn't buy that one either…"
Well seeing as the cat was out of the bag, Naruto replaced himself with a random log which appeared out of nowhere in particular. Appearing back in his room at Izumo Inn, the blonde could only wait until he had to explain himself. But then again, that could wait, seeing as he had a couple of questions needing to be answered.
Sliding the window open, Naruto gazed towards the largest building in Tokyo "Well, now's better than never." With that said, the ex-Shinobi disappeared in a blur of movement, his destination: MBI headquarters.
Yo, sorry for the late update, but you know how it is…well maybe not, but that is not the point!
I was a little bit trumped on as where I wanted to go with the story, as of regarding Tsukiumi. For one, I could leave it as be and give her to Minato, but hell, that would just plain out suck dick. I decided to postpone that decision for a later time, and progress to something that was just waiting to happen. "I'm the Juggernaut bitch! Oh, wait. I really am." Yup, either the fact that Naruto's a magical creature of tact, or a just supernaturally powerful is out there.
