[AN: IT'S FINALS WEEK! And I decided to be more lengthy, since a few of you wanted longer chapters. Enjoy!]
[Underground Facility]
A woman was pacing back and forth under a dimly lit room as she pondered on her next course of action. Her mind was racing as she took in the results of a recently failed experiment. As she went back and forth, she clicked her tongue in disapproval before slamming her hands on the counter, shaking the beakers and test tubes that were sitting in wooden stands.
Swiftly grabbing her purple rimmed glasses, she put them on as she tied her hair in a ponytail, her black hair hanging a little past her neck. A purple hairpin fastened a chunk of hair above her forehead as she grabbed a clipboard and scribbled some things in before the door opened, revealing a person in a white scientist coat.
"Ma'am. The new specimen is ready." The scientist said curtly, getting a nod from the other woman. The door closed as the woman placed the clipboard on the table with a clack. She shook her head.
This isn't going well. She thought, her eyes darting from the blackboard in the room and back to the notes on the clipboard. Sighing, she grabbed her coffee as she went to a dial in the room and turned it, the light dimming until it was pitch black.
She wrenched open the door and slammed it shut, walking down a corridor before going into a larger room. She wore a light grey blouse that hugged her figure, doing little to hide her curves as it accentuated her bust and slim waist. Her own coat fluttered from the breeze as she ascended a metal walkway into a higher office. Next to it was a utility box fixated on the wall which she opened and grabbed a megaphone. Turning about face, she oversaw what was going on below.
Dozens of other scientists crowded over different sections of the room, hunched over as their voices spoke rapidly to each other. The room was filled with scritches on black boards and clinks of glass being placed or stirred. The woman started to move about the walkway that hung above the scientists, her heels making minute noises that slowly brought the attention of the other scientists.
Seeing their break from work, she put the megaphone in front of her lips.
"GET BACK TO WORK!" She bellowed, as the other scientists jumped at the sound and worked with twice as much effort. Seeing their efforts doubled, she went back to the office and consulted the computer in front of her before her hand went to her temple.
"Kami save me." She mumbled, as she took a deep breath. After a few minutes, she pulled open a drawer and pulled out a mirror and placed it in front of her.
"Kami, my make up smudged again." She said, before her pale hand reached for her pocket make up kit and dabbed under her sharp yellow eyes. She turned her head left and right, before smiling, showing her elongated fangs.
"Alright, Orika! It's showtime!" She said, the now identified Snake Sannin parting her mouth a little to allow her long tongue to gyrate a little as she hissed, before her assistant Kana opened the door. With her silver hair done up in a bun and her round spectacles resting on her face, she was about to say something before deadpanning.
"Orika-sama. You're doing that again?" She said, tiredly as the sannin quickly snapped her mouth shut, blushing from embarrassment.
"Don't judge me!" She cried, stamping her foot as Kana shook her head, amused.
"Hai, hai, Orika-sama. But, the specimen has arrived." She said, her face serious as all mirth drained from her expression. Orika did the same, as she readjusted herself before following Kana out the door toward the room full of scientists.
As she made her way past the scientists, they copied her expression, some even sweating a bit at the gravity of the situation. Kana and Orika approached a stage hidden in the back of the room as all of the scientists made their way toward it, sitting on gray folding chairs as their attention was directed at their superiors.
A large red curtain concealed whatever had Orika's interest as Kana disappeared behind it. After a little while, the lights went out, before a rustling of chains was heard. The curtain was pulled apart as a large spotlight illuminated the center of the stage, revealing Kana holding... something rather dangerous.
The scientists gasped as Orika smirked like a predator, eyeing the item before her. Kana's own body blocked the item of interest before moving out of the way, to reveal…
A life sized plush of a 12 year old Naruto Uzumaki with a bashful expression, courtesy of Kana who spent a week stalki- er… "observing" Naruto as he went about his daily activities, including when he slept, who she may or may not have filched a few orange jumpsuits to give to Orika.
And she may or may not have her own life sized plushie who she dressed in the same jumpsuit and used as a body pillow to help her go to sleep, her room totally not filled with everything Naruto related, ranging from a Naruto poster to a Naruto pencil which she currently had tucked behind her ear. The same could be said about Orika, but to the more extreme.
Orika's breath became ragged as her face reddened, her hands shot outward in groping motions as she approached the bashful "plush-kun" before she schooled her emotions, the vestiges of a blush still lingering after she noticed Kana's gaze.
A heart shaped device was wrapped around the plush, a large display taking the center portion of the device and a small LED on the top section.
Kana shuffled out of the way, allowing her sensei ample room to work with as her eyes roamed to the scientists, quickly writing into their clipboards as their eyes never left the stage.
Pressing a red button that was on the side of the device, the screen lit up as a boot logo of a chibi Naruto appeared, winking and giving a thumbs up. A jingle played before text appeared on the screen. Affectionately, it spelled out:
"Doki Doki Love-sama!~ Confess your love and get the top rank to get a prize with your loved one! Press the heart to get started!"
The text disappeared, only to be replaced with a HUD, one section detailing an affection meter in a shape of a heart and a background of floating, smaller hearts with words like "Good Luck!" or "Love!".
Nervous, Orika started to chew on her purple colored nails before turning around to the crowd of scientists, who just happened to be all female.
"W-W-What do I do, girls?" Orika stuttered, eyes looking hopeful as she poked her index fingers together. This, was an everyday occurrence at Orika's lab.
Anyway, the scientists could only shrug before one in the back shouted "Just do your best!". This roused the other scientists as they encouraged Orika to just do it. Orika was stunned, her eyes widened as she slowly started to tear up.
Everyone… she thought, before shaking her head and turning her hand into a fist. With renewed vigor, she spun around and walked toward the plush Naruto, making the scientists go silent in anticipation.
Orika tapped the heart on the display before it switched to numbers counting down. It chimed as the number started to decrease, before a large display slowly dropped down from the ceiling. Orika felt something wash over her as she closed her eyes, a gust of wind tickling her skin before she opened her eyes again. She was briefly brought into awe as the scenery changed.
[Inside the simulation]
Instead of a laboratory, she was instead in a park that was filled with sakura trees, the petals falling around her and the sun set to the point where the sky was orange-pinkish. Green grass rolled around her as large buildings surrounded her position.
What stuck out to her most was that she was inside what seemed like the front entrance to a school, a large clocktower with a bell in the center of the building. A breeze tickled her legs as she glanced down, taking in her change of attire. She was dressed in a navy blue skirt that just reached her knees and a white raiment, with a sort of white flap at the back with a blue design on it. A bow decorated her collar as her hair had now reached her lower back, about the height of her behind.
Violins were playing a romantic tune, as if trying to set the mood before a deep voice called her name.
"Orika-san?" She spun around, her eyes settling on the person before her. She immediately blushed.
It's Naruto-kun! Her mind racing a mile a minute, a blush staining her cheeks as her eyes roamed over the body of a 24 year old Naruto, who had on an orange blazer with a spiral crest on his breast pocket, a white dress shirt with a black tie and black dress pants, and black dress shoes. He had a shoulder bag hanging off the side lazily as his sun kissed hair seemed to shimmer from the sunset as his spikes danced lazily against the wind.
His eyes showing concern as his mouth contorted to a small frown. Orika could only blush harder.
So… so handsome! Her mind squealed in joy, a chibi Orika dancing happily in her mindscape.
"I received your letter in my mailbox, Orika-san. Do you need help with homework or something of the other?" Naruto said, rubbing his sleeved arm in the cold.
Orika looked confused for a second. "Homework? What homework?" She said, still a bit shell shocked at Naruto's appearance. Naruto's face seemed to cool into a smirk as he chuckled, shaking his head.
"The homework I assigned you, remember? I am your math teacher after all." He said, his clear cerulean eyes striking into her yellow one.
Naruto is a teacher? Would I be his student then? That would make him… Naruto...sen...sei…
Orika's mind couldn't entertain the thought as steamed ejected from her ears and her head as she fell backwards. Naruto jumped before rushing over to her as she landed into his arms. He shook her body as he brought her face closer to his.
"Orika-san! Are you alright?" Naruto called out, as Orika's slowly opened her eyes.
"Naruto-sensei…" She mumbled, before she realized the proximity of their faces and blushed.
This! This is just like those books I read! A forbidden relationship between teacher and student! Kya!~ She screamed internally. Naruto's eyes shifted into deeper concern as he looked over her.
"Oi! Orika-san!" He said, now deeply concerned. However, his fears were dashed away as Orika started to squirm and he placed her back on her feet. He exhaled a breath of relief before smiling at Orika.
"I'm glad you're alright." Naruto said, making her heart flutter. "If that's all, I'll start making my leave." Naruto turned around and started walking towards the school gate before Orika could say anything.
Thinking quickly, she shouted.
"Um…! Naruto-sensei!" Orika called after him, running to him as he turned again. She panted as she stared deep into his eyes. With burning determination, she started to speak.
"The r-reason why I called y-you out was…" She said, getting Naruto's attention as he raised an eyebrow.
"Yes?" He said, silently giving her the signal to continue.
Kami's sake, this is harder than I thought! What am I saying, of COURSE this is hard! Orika thought, before continuing.
"I… I like you, Naruto-sensei!" Orika spat out, her hands clasped together. She noticed Naruto's expression drop from concern to a stunned one. She continued to press.
"Ever since I've known you, sensei, I always liked you." Orika said in a low voice as her eyes diverted toward the ground. "You made me smile when I was sad and you always comforted me when something went wrong..." Her voice started to tremble as her eyes started to tear up. Naruto's eyes were overcast by a shadow as his hair covered his eyes.
"...and I can't get you out of my head! Everytime when I go to sleep, my mind would drift to you and… I would be so happy!" Orika started to choke up, but she didn't let that stop her. She placed a hand over her chest, more so over her own heart.
"My heart won't stop beating, not even now! So please, Naruto-sensei… no… Naruto-kun! I love you!" She finally hammered out, her thoughts racing a mile a minute.
She bit her lower lip, before her head shot up to meet Naruto's eyes. "Please be my boyfriend, Naruto-kun!" She said with conviction.
Naruto could only hold the stunned expression, taking in Orika's face as tears flow freely down her cheeks. Orika never broke the gaze before Naruto started to chuckle, before bringing his right hand over to her cheek. He gazed lovingly at her as she gasped at the warm contact, his thumb running over her cheek.
"Orika… I've been waiting for the longest." Naruto finally said. Orika gasped, her eyes shimmering.
"You…! You mean!" She silently begged for it to be true, and she wasn't disappointed by the next few words that came from his mouth.
"Yes, Orika. I love you too." He smiled, before he brought his other hand on the middle of her back, bringing the two closer. Orika waited with bated as Naruto came closer, never breaking eye contact. Soon, the two were nose to nose, their lips mere centimeters from meeting…
[End Simulation]
Until the simulation ended. The display showed all of this as the scientists were crying, tissues clutched tightly in their hands as a few blew their noses. Even Kana had tears in her eyes as she dabbed her face. However, the same couldn't be said with Orika, who violently shot up and shouted.
"Kami damn it! I was so close!" She cried, anime tears streaming down her face as her hand was made into a fist. Her attention was brought back to the Naruto plush with the device as a voice chimed in.
"Wow! Such love! Congratulations, [Hebi-hime123], your affection levels are off the charts! You placed first in the rankings!" The device beeped, and Orika whooped alongside her female associates. A hissing sound appeared near the belly of the plushie as a gold ball rolled out of the slot. Orika raised an eyebrow.
"Kana-chan, wasn't this made out of fluff? Not… machinery?" A shine was casted over Kana's glasses, blocking her eyes.
"There's a lot you don't know about this plushie, Orika-sensei." She said ominously, which Orika hesitantly nodded. She grabbed the gold ball, and read the text written in black marker to 'Give this gold ball to the Street Lottery Committee in Konoha for your free grand prize; a date with Naruto Uzumaki at the age of legality! [Because why not]'
Without even a second's notice, Orika jumped off the stage and used an Earth jutsu to make a pillar appear from under her, shooting up and out of the underground facility towards the surface. Kana sweat dropped at the ugly, brown monstrosity before her.
"Welp. We got a pillar now. Even despite that we're wanted missing-nin and we're in the Land of Rice." She said, before shooing away the other scientists to get back to work.
[Time skip (The event above happens during this time)]
A 12 year old Naruto Uzumaki hummed to himself a jaunty tune as he made his way towards the Ninja Academy. A lot has happened during the 5 years since meeting the fabled Uzu Manifest System and the Shroud of Darkness. Including his powers, which Kaguya briefed him a while ago. Apparently, his eye abilities are locked for now, as he doesn't need to use them for any reason at the moment, being 12 and all. His light and dark abilities are still at his beck however, so for now he'll have to make do.
Only 4 more years, until Ka-chan will be released. Naruto said, excitedly. He couldn't wait for his surrogate mother to come to the real world. His mind was brought out of it as he saw the three people he dreaded meeting the most.
The Namikazes.
During his pre-teen years, Naruto has been around the estate less and less, until he finally couldn't handle it anymore and moved out. Much to his slight chagrin, no one in the estate seemed to notice, as he was already sparse in their time as a family. Naruto moved in at a spanking, new apartment complex that was built a few years ago at the top floor.
It was fully furnished, with a comfortable couch, a nice tv with white decorated walls and wooden flooring. He had other rooms, like a few bed and bathrooms and other ones that took too long to describe in length.
He only moved in however, when he was 9 years old, playing at a jungle gym with Sasuke and Kiba.
[Flashback]
A purple snake slithered up to Naruto with a purple envelope and a heart as a acting seal, with the words 'To Naruto-kun, from Hebi-hime [insert heart here]'.
Cautiously, Naruto took the envelope, not before the snake nuzzled his hand before poofing away. Sasuke and Kiba mosied toward Naruto who opened the envelope. Inside was a small note and a gold ticket.
"You have been granted a penthouse suite by a secret admirer at the Shinobi Sector in Konoha! Congratulations!" In the corner, was a childish drawing of a heart in purple crayon, along with directions to the complex.
Naruto scratched his head, confused, since he wasn't a Shinobi yet and the snake didn't make it much better.
Having nothing better to do, he shrugged as he decided to investigate, Sasuke and Kiba deciding to follow.
A few moments later, Naruto was in an elevator going to the top floor of the complex, along with Sasuke and Kiba. The elevator stopped with a ping and Naruto stepped out, moving towards the only door on the floor. A face scanner and a ticket reader was placed on the wall, and a mechanical lock barring entry to non-residents. Naruto fed the ticket into the machine as it took in Naruto's face.
Sasuke and Kiba hung back, looking at the pottery and the red carpet, marveling at how soft it was as they laid on floor. The door opened and a pale hand quickly grabbed Naruto's small body, before closing again. Kiba and Sasuke could only angle their heads to see, before plopping down, the carpet too soft to move from.
When Naruto no longer felt something pulling him, he quickly hopped on his feet, to meet the pale face of Orika, who had a gleam in her eye. In less than a second, she pulled Naruto in and hugged the small body while rubbing her cheek against his. Deciding that she meant no harm, Naruto dropped his guard and gave into the ministrations of the Hebi-Sannin, if the large amount of snakes pulling furniture into different rooms was any indication.
And for the whole day, the two just did… things. Well, they played with each other, and when Naruto was hungry, Orika would whip something up and feed him like he was a toddler. She would also give him hugs whenever she had the chance, and acted pretty much like a doting mother. Naruto was happy, and when it was time for Orika to go, Naruto's sad face tugged at her heartstrings. She almost wanted to drop everything and stay with Naruto forever, but her plans at Rice were too great at the moment.
It didn't help that Naruto called her his 'nee-chan', nor did it help when it looked like she just kicked the ever lasting life out of his puppy, as his large irises watered up when she had her foot out the door.
Giving one last hug (that lasted for 10 minutes) and with every shred of her willpower, she gave Naruto a goodbye and promised she would visit him again when she had time. Naruto held her to that promise, with a cute, but loud exclamation of 'Dattebayo!', which made it a thousand times harder to leave. But alas, she had returned to Rice.
[End Flashback]
Since then, Naruto's been getting occasional visits from the Snake Sannin, who also conveniently had no clue that she was a missing nin. Despite all the thanks he gave her, he couldn't live in the apartment quite yet, as his training and scrounging around to make a ryo or two had keet him busy.
Not to mention, it was in the Shinobi Sector of town and he only got lucky because the guard that was on duty had taken a lunch break before the second person could take his shift.
Anyhoo, it was through his busy schedule that Naruto picked up many hobbies and skills, like gardening from the nice lady at the Botanical Gardens and the farmers in the outskirts of Konoha. Since he was still technically a civvie, he had a free pass.
Naruto also learned a few instruments to keep himself entertained, such as the piano, guitar, drums, ukulele, bass, and just to annoy people, the triangle and the kazoo.
Getting back at hand, the Namikazes, too were heading to the Ninja Academy to drop off their daughter, Naomi.
Acting hastily, he hid behind a tree and observed from a distance. As he continued to track their movements, Naruto saw a bulge in Kushina's belly, assuming she was pregnant again.
As if on cue, Minato confirmed his suspicions.
"...then when our musume is dropped off at the academy, I'll have to get the papers ready for our little girl, ne, Kushi-chan?" Minato said, rubbing Kushina's belly. She slapped his arm, huffing before smiling and rubbing it as well.
"That's right! We're having you in a few months, and we'll have two daughters!" She said, before stopping. "Oh, I almost forgot! We need to get a new crib! Ooh, and a new bed for little Sayuki, and not to mention some toys…" Kushina went off on a tangent about getting new things, while Minato nodded and wrote it down on a notepad.
"Ne ne, kaa-chan, tou-chan! Are we gonna use the room next to mine?" Naomi chimed in, getting her parents' attention.
"Sure, if you want, Na-chan." Minato said, before his eyebrows creased a bit. "Didn't someone live there before?" He said slowly, trying to remember. Naomi and Kushina stopped and thought too, before shaking their heads.
"No, I don't think so, koibito." Kushina said, scratching her scalp with a finger.
"Bah, I think it was a guest room anyway. People are always visiting after all, since you made the announcement of our second child. You even filled a few rooms with gifts!" Minato said, laughing. Naomi and Kushina smiled and continued to walk towards the academy, not seeing a shaking blonde hair boy, clenching his fists as something wet stained the ground.
Naruto, sulking, made his way to the academy. As he followed the dirt path, he deviated and went towards the back, before using chakra to stick to the walls and walk up the side, onto the roof. There, he was meeted with his brothers and sisters, waiting patiently. Well, for most of them.
Naruto dodged a shoe as an angry trio of girls launched themselves at him as soon as his feet touched the roof. He didn't expect them to tackle him, seeing as he was near the edge of the roof, he was launched back and skidded on the floor before his head hit the door leading back into the building.
"Troublesome." Shikamaru said, observing with silent amusement. Chouji and Sasuke didn't pay it any mind, as Chouji was manning a grill and Sasuke occasionally released a Fire Jutsu to keep it going.
Kiba and Shino were nearby, as Shino skillfully used his kikaichu to remove the fleas from Akamaru.
Meanwhile, Naruto groaned as he blearily tried to open his eyes, seeing heads of blonde, pink and blue matching the pouting faces that accompanied it.
"You're late!" Sakura said, getting off of Naruto as did Ino and Hinata.
"You owe me a shoe, baka." Hinata said, narrowing her eyes to enforce the threat. Ino nodded, not really having any more to add. Naruto didn't say anything, his eyes downcast and a little did. The trio stopped and looked at him in concern, before crouching next to him.
"What's wrong, aniki?" The guys stopped their activities as they slowly approached Naruto, the same concern in their eyes. Naruto sighed, before hugging the three girls tightly. The girls instantly returned the gesture, signaling that it was pretty serious as the brothers wrapped their arms around Naruto, in a group hug. After a good minute, they let go as Naruto explained what he happened on his way to the academy.
The girls and guys were furious, save for Sasuke who was silently scowling and Shikamaru who had a disappointed look in his eyes at his nation's leader. Needless to say, they were about to raise hell but Naruto stopped them, not wanting to cause a scene.
Reluctant, but listening to their brother's words, they stopped before doing anything too rash. With a small smile, Naruto went to class.
Naruto entered the classroom with his brothers and sisters and took a seat next to the window, as his brothers and sisters sat on his side of the room. He noticed a few civilians and a few sons and daughters of ninja he knew wave at him. He smiled, waving back until the teacher entered the room. A tanned male chuunin with a horizontal scar on his nose and black hair entered the room, accompanied by a white haired female chuunin, each with a clipboard.
"Hello, and welcome to Konoha's Ninja Academy! This is orientation, so don't worry, you won't be here long." The man said.
"As you progress through the 4-year program, we as your homeroom teachers…" The tanned male said, gesturing to the female. "... will be your main instructors. Our goal is to help you get a leg up on the ninja program so that you may bring glory to Konoha and serve as our line of defense against foreign threats." The male concluded strongly. A few kids nodded, impressed by his words before the white haired female kunoichi walked to the front.
"As my associate said, you are the people Konoha will turn to in a time of crisis." She continued, walking up and down the aisles.
"Your duty is to protect civilians, and Konoha's livelihood. Do so with strength, but only with necessary force. Be tenacious, but also clear minded." She walked back to the front of the class.
"My name is Manami Touji, and my friend here is Iruka Umino. We will instruct you from here on out." The now identified Manami turned her head and nodded to Iruka, who switched places with her. He brought out a clipboard.
"I will now do roll call. Say present when you hear your name." Just as he was about to start, the sliding door slammed open to a panting girl.
"Sorry I'm late, Iruka-nii!" An orange hair girl has arrived. Naruto pretended not to notice Naomi's late arrival, or her voice for the matter as Iruka ruffled her hair, before shooing her off. She went to a seat on the same level as Naruto and sat down. Naruto sighed before turning towards the window.
"Barring that disruption, I will now begin roll call." Iruka began.
As soon as the first name was called out, Naruto went into his mindscape. As time is different in the mindscape, a rate of an hour to a minute, Naruto had no problems tuning out the world. He opened his eyes as he saw his kaa-chan in all her glory.
His hime, in all of her eternal grace and beauty… snoring as she laid next to him on the bed. He blinked, confused, before remembering that his soul body was 20 years old, and his physical was 13. Shaking off the confusion, he summoned a clone and Kawarimi'd with it.
As the clone laid helpless, he decided to explore his mindscape, seeing as the only true boundary he got to was a few meters deep into the forest. So he started, on his adventure.
On the real world, Naruto was looking out the window, his head turned away from all means of communication, including from… Naomi, surprisingly. But, for the wrong reasons, of course. She detested him. Outright, hatred. Her childhood hate for the blonde had manifested into something ugly, and he was all to wary of it, but not at the moment.
Occasionally, Naomi would glare at Naruto's head and try to discreetly ruin his day, but to her shock, her jutsu would be countered by what seems to be a barrier. She growled, before turning back towards her replacement brother, Iruka.
Since 30 seconds had elapsed in that brief instance with Naomi, 30 minutes had tired Naruto out. As it turned out, the forest would truly be an endless forest, until Naruto willed something to take its place, like an amusement park or a ramen stand.
Sighing, Naruto stretched before closing his eyes. He felt a windy sensation on his body and opened his eyes again, to meet mismatched eyes of red and blue.
Naruto blinked.
"Onii-chwan!" The figure of a little girl launched herself at Naruto, sending him to the ground again, similarly to their initial encounter.
"AGH! Hitomi! Nii-san needs to breathe!" Naruto struggled, trying and futilely to paw the overly affectionate child from killing him, who had a killer grip. As Hitomi tried to bury her face into Naruto's chest after not seeing him for so long, a slender, gloved hand grabbed the hem of her clothes, and elegantly lifted her to the taller figure's face.
"You know, you should stop doing that from now on, before you kill Naruto-sama." The soft voice said, walking closer to reveal the tanned beauty with yellow/blonde hair in a butler uniform.
Naruto breathed a sigh of relief, before smiling at the butler maid person.
"Thanks a bunch, Setsuna-chan." Naruto thanked, before he was clocked in the head by the now named Setsuna.
"B-b-baka! Don't think I d-did this for your sake!" She blushed, before huffing and turning her head as she crossed her arms. "And don't say my first name, you haven't earned that right! Call me Yamamoto-san from now on." She finished, until Hitomi decided to hug Naruto again, not so rough now.
"Ne ne, onii-chan! You promised that you'd take me and 'Suna-chan to the real world! I don't like this place, the shrine is so blue!" She pouted adorably, which Naruto laughed at her expression before hugging her, placing her in his lap.
"Why don't we go today? I'll be done with the orientation for academy in an hour or so, so why not?" Naruto proposed, as Hitomi cheered. Naruto looked at Setsuna and extended the same offer.
"So why not, Setsuna-chan? You, me and little Hitomi here…" Naruto received a light punch to his chest. "On the town for the day?" Setsuna blushed up a storm.
"Wh-wh-w-w-what are y-y-ou trying to p-pull here, baka?" She stuttered. Naruto decided to continue to tease her, lifting Hitomi and putting her to the side. He walked up to her, as she froze by the sudden proximity as he grabbed her slender hands.
Naruto removed both gloves and placed them in his pockets, to feel the smooth, dainty tanned hands of the exotic beauty. She shivered in delight as he moved one hand to her cheek and looked her lovingly in the eyes.
"I want to spend the time with you, Setsuna-chan." She was too much in shock to properly reprimand him, so he continued. "What's so bad with spending time with little ol' me." He leaned close and his mouth moved to her ear.
"Ne, koibito, let's go out today. Our daughter wants us to." Naruto said, knowing what it did to her.
K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-Koibito!? D-d-d-daughter?! WHAT!? Her mind was racing a mile a minute as spirals replaced her eyes and her face was supported by both of her hands, a blush spreading across her tanned face.
"So c'mon. Honey." Steam rose from her face. "Darling." Her hands released her head as they hung limply. "My wife." She couldn't take it anymore, as she fell backwards as if fainting. Naruto caught her and eased her slowly to the ground, much to Hitomi's interest, wondering what her Onii-chan was doing.
Naruto went in for the kill. As little as Setsuna was still conscious, Naruto brushed a stray blonde hair away from her face and kissed her cheek.
"My beloved." He kissed her forehead this time, and she was out like a light. Naruto truly loved the butler-maid, and her tsundere personality made it all the more appealing to tease her. He felt a tugging on his shirt.
"Onii-chan?" Hitomi asked, tilting her head cutely. Naruto chuckled before scooping her into his arms and carried her like an airplane. Her giggles and screams of excitement filled the room as he slowly stopped, kissing her forehead.
"We'll spend the day today, precious imouto." He said, making her smile a megawatt grin. "But first, I have to return to the real world and get a few things done, alright?" Naruto noticed her downtrodden expression but gave her a final hug.
"It won't be long, Hitomi. Wake up Setsuna-chan for the time being and tell her what's going to happen. Can you do that for me?" With an 'Um!" from his surrogate sister, he bounced over to Setsuna and started to shake her to get her to wake up.
Naruto shook his head, a smile staining his lips as he vanished from the mindscape.
As Naruto slowly returned, he shook himself awake and smiled, although the transition from a 20 year old to a 13 year old left him woozy for a few seconds, going through reverse puberty felt like a pain and a half.
"...Naomi Namikaze-Uzumaki?" Iruka said, looking at her.
"Hoi!" She responded, smiling. Finally, Iruka read the final name on the list, his eyes widened.
"Naruto… Namikaze-Uzumaki!?" He exclaimed, not knowing that the Hokage had another child, and older one at that. Most of the attention was turned to him as it was dead silent. Naruto rose his hand.
"Present." He said lazily, before looking out the window again. There was silence for a minute before Iruka broke the silence.
"W-well then, that'll be all then." Iruka, still in disbelief. Manami too had a look of disbelief, but recovered faster than her compatriot.
"We'll now pass out these ID cards for you so you'll be allowed admission into the building. Can't have a stranger waltz in here." She said, passing out their respectable IDs. Soon after, the bell rung and they were dismissed. As the kids started to shuffle out of the door, the Konoha 9 exited the room in their own stylish way.
Sasuke vanished in a Fire Shunshin, Chouji and Sakura melted into the woodwork, Hinata and Kiba dived out of the window, Shikamaru walked into the shadows and disappeared, Ino and Shino disappeared in a scatter of flowers and insects, respectively and Naruto vanished in a flash of light, stunning the remaining students who were unlucky in the light show.
Naomi could only grit her teeth, missing her opportunity to get at Naruto.
Naruto appeared at the park located near the academy, placed strategically for the ninjas to burn off their energy during recess or after school. It was sunset, as the orange color tainted the skies and clouds floated on by.
There was another park on the other side of the school for civilians, but the ninja and civilian kids didn't care for that.
Standing in the middle of the sand lot, he looked around him and noticed that no one was there, not noticing Naomi who just walked out the door.
Deeming it safe, albeit he probably should've been more discreet, he started to do an incantation.
"Oh Kami, you who reign in Takama-ga-hara, hear my call. My mind is thirsty, my soul is willful and my heart is aching for companionship, as I wish to summon the two beings inside of me." Naruto said, as a beam of light shot down from above him. Naruto didn't notice Naomi's eyes bugging out of her skull.
"Let my being be no longer lonely, as my heart is filled, my soul is happy and my mind is clear, I summon Yamamoto Setsuna, the willful sword of the Shinto Kamis, and Hitomi Akumu, the Shroud of Yami, the dark shield that protects the world. I beg unto thee to release the two for all eternity!" During the incantation, a black runic circle appeared under Naruto, as the beam of light and the dark rune met in neutrality, neither one overcoming the other.
Soon, two vortexes appeared on either side of Naruto, and out stepped Hitomi and Setsuna. Although, they were shorter, as they were tied to their Master, Setsuna being the same age as Naruto and Hitomi at a ripe age of eight. The beam slowly disappeared as the dark rune melted into the ground and the vortexes closed itself.
As soon as she stepped out, Hitomi rushed over to Naruto and started to jump in place.
"Nii-chan! Nii-chan Nii-chan Nii-chan!" Hitomi was garbed in a yellow blouse and a small cream colored hat with a band near the rim, where an adorable little flower was pinned against it. Naruto smiled as he picked her up and placed her on his shoulders.
Naruto glanced over to Setsuna and smiled, as she was dressed in a dark blue dress with a white shirt underneath, and long skirt that went to her ankles as well as some sandals. All in all, she looked like a civilian house wife, but with her dark skin and light hair, one could say different.
"I can't believe you dragged me out for this." She huffed, but silently enjoyed the sun. Naruto smiled and felt Hitomi tap his head.
"She's lying, Onii-chan." Hitomi whispered, making him chuckle. Since the Shroud of the Devil and the Uzu Manifest System were created in tandem, their human personalities couldn't hide emotions or lie from one another, so to be blunt, Hitomi acted as a lie detector against Setsuna.
Naruto smiled and grabbed Setsuna's hand, startling her and blushing a bit as Naruto ran his thumb over the back of her hand.
"Now, let's be off. We have the night to ourselves." Naruto smiled beatifically, and with a hesitant nod, Setsuna and Naruto were off. Naruto felt Hitomi clamber off his shoulders and stepped in between them and grabbed the hands closest to her, smiling.
"Let's go, nii-chan, 'Suna-nee-chan!" She smiled. She started to use their hand as a type of swing and not even Setsuna could resist her innocence, giggling into her free hand. Naruto chuckled and the trio made their way into Konoha Proper, missing the stunned expression on Naomi's face.
"...onii...chan?" She tested in her mouth. Her heart ached as she noticed the little girl clutching onto Naruto's hand, dismissing Setsuna for the moment. She didn't the fact that her heart hurt when she looked, nor did she notice the frown that framed her face as she gazed at Naruto, laughing and having a good time.
"...onii-chan." She whispered, until she felt a pair of arms whisk her away.
"Musume! How was school?" Kushina said, giving her a hug as Minato ruffled her hair.
"And what were you doing behind the tree, Naomi? Ooh, do you already have a crush on someone?" Minato teased, before mentalling squashing that thought bug with an iron fist. He'll be damned if someone dated her daughter at this age.
Naomi blushed before shaking her head violently. Minato and Kushina laughed as Minato gave her a piggyback ride, and followed Kushina into a hardware store for furniture for their next daughter.
Naomi looked behind her, seeing the retreating form of her brother, and to her surprise, felt something wet on her face.
...I'm crying? She thought as she brought a hand to her cheek. Sure enough, she was as she quickly used her sleeve to wipe it off.
Just an average day in Konoha.
And that's that! The poll results are in! Apparently a lot of you wanted a harem, so a harem you shall have! The harem members are:
Naruto
Kaguya
Mikoto
Anko
Kurenai
Yamamoto Setsuna
and lastly, Naomi!
I decided on doing 5, as that was the drop off point in terms of votes. The other choices had a significant gap between these 5 so I cut it off there. However, I'm adding Yamamoto Setsuna as a harem member, because why not.
Getting to that, Yamamoto Setsuna's name was decided based that she is a sword in her default form (and I was playing Devil May Cry 3 again and took the name of Vergil's Katana because it's bad ass!) and just made it feminine. She's also based off of Nikumi, from Shokugeki no Souma, as a few of you decided that, and I quote, "she looks aite." Yes.
Hitomi Akumu's name was decided based on a friend's suggestion, and the character she was based off of is Hasegawa Kobato from Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai, courtesy from user Malbatorus for the suggestion. Thanks for that!
Also, I recommend checking out a few stories that are my personal favorite.
To Love 'Ruto, by Drake Wilson. It's a To Love Ru crossover with Naruto. I like the perverted Kushina he has going on, like it's really good.
The Promise of a Lifetime, a NisekoixNaruto crossover by objection234. Really good, with Tsugumi x Naruto as the main pairing. Really recommend it.
Enough of that, see you next chapter!
