**I DON'T OWN NARUTO OR BASILISK**

AN- First off, sorry for such the long wait. I have been busy with school and my other stories and I sort of forgot about the story. Anyway, here's the newest chapter. Hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 10: Remembrance of the Past Part 2

Naruto woke up feeling very warm, and weight all over his body. He moved his head around and saw what the weight and warmth was.

Kushina was on his right arm, which was stuffed into her bountiful chest, snoring contently.

Naomi was sleeping on his left arm, which was also stuffed into her own budding chest.

Minako was splayed across his body, her head resting peacefully on his chest.

All three women were slightly snoring, and releasing a small amount of drool from their mouths.

Naruto silently performed the Body Replacement technique, and replaced his body with a pillow that had fallen on the floor sometime during the night. He was glad that Kenshin and Kasumi had rammed it into his head the importance of mastering the basics, which had saved his ass on more than one occasion.

He silently went downstairs, got out a few pans and bits of food, and proceeded to make breakfast.

30 minutes later, the remaining Namikaze family members walked in like zombies, following the scent of the most delicious food they had ever smelt.

"Good morning you three", Naruto spoke, not turning his attention from his cooking.

The three women mumble out "Good morning" in reply as they sit down at the table. Suddenly, their eyes widened and they turned their heads toward him so fast they almost broke their necks.

"Naruto!", the three women screamed as they jumped from their seats and glomped Naruto, who thankfully had just finished making breakfast.

"Hey, what's wrong?", he asked, wondering why they freaked out.

"We… we thought that everything that happened yesterday was a dream. We just can't fully believe that our family is finally complete after all these years", Kushina replied.

Naruto just looked at the three women kindly, and said, "That is something that you don't ever have to worry about. Now, how about you guys sit down so we can eat breakfast."

All three women nodded reluctantly, and sat down at the table.

Less than a minute later, a plate of delicious looking food in front of them, while Naruto sat down with his own plate. The reunited family dug into their food, only for the women to cry out in pleasure and joy.

"This is amazing! Where did you learn to cook so well, Naruto?", Kushina asked, her mouth still feeling the after-effects of her foodgasm.

Both Naomi and Minako were wondering the same thing, while under similar affects as Kushina. Both were a little jealous that their brother and son, respectively, that he could make really good food. Minako had the unfortunate ability to burn water, and Naomi, unfortunately, gained that particular trait from her father. Both would've starved if Kushina and Ichiraku Ramen weren't around.

Speaking of ramen, Kushina made some good ramen. It was just as good, if not better than Ichiraku's. Minako and Naomi's mind began to wonder how Naruto's ramen would taste if he were to try his hand at making it.

"Well, I was taught by some close people to me. They told me that it would be really smart to know how to cook for myself; not only for surviving, but also for blending in for missions", Naruto replied, thinking of Kenshin and Kasumi.

Speaking of the two spirits, they decided to warp their way out of Naruto's body; revealing their transparent forms to the two Uzumakis, and scaring the two afore mentioned women.

"Ahhh! A-a g-ghost!", Kushina and Naomi shrieked, jumping out of their seat and hiding behind Minako, who was seeing nothing.

"Kenshin… Kasumi… what are you doing out here? I thought you two would have been content where you were", Naruto spoke, shocking the two Uzumaki women that he knew them.

"Well, we usually are; however, we sensed the presence of two Uzumakis near you and decided to investigate", spoke Kasumi, while Kenshin stayed quiet letting his wife do the talking.

Naruto simply nodded his head, while Kushina finally got over her shock and said, "Naruto, who are these people? How do you know them? Why are there ghost following you around?"

The two spirits and Naruto turned their attention towards Kushina. The two spirits' eyes widened as they took in Kushina's form.

"Kushi… ", Kenshin and Kasumi say simultaneously.

Kushina herself was shocked to hear that nickname since only two people know it, but they're dead.

"M-m-mom… D-dad…!", Kushina stuttered, shocking the present living beings.

Naomi was the first to respond to that, and in true Uzumaki style, "What! What do you mean mom and dad?"

"S-sweetie… these two here are your and Naruto's grandparents from my side of the family, my parents", spoke a still shocked Kushina, who had not turned to her daughter when she answered her question.

'Looks like Kushi has kids of her own, although…', Kenshin and Kasumi thought as they took in Naomi's appearance, while mentally comparing it to Naruto's.

"So, turns out your Kushi's kid, huh? No wonder me and Kenshin felt such a familiar pull towards you", said Kasumi, who turned to Naruto.

Kushina took the small silence to put her voice back into the conversation, and get answers from her parents, "Mom… Dad… how are you here? You're supposed to be dead."

"Well, after we sent you to Konoha, Uzu came under attack by Kiri, Kumo, and Iwa. Some of the Uzumakis that perished didn't want to leave our home unprotected, so in some strange anomaly, they remained in an intangible state. We that stayed made sure that Uzu would be protected by any would-be pillagers", spoke Kasumi.

Kushina nodded at the explanation, but Kasumi was not done.

"Several years later, a strange portal appeared, and out stumbled this young man", she said, pointing a Naruto's form, "We discovered he was a Uzumaki. Took him in, trained him; he got friendly with most of the spirits; however, he was the closest to us."

"So since you have been with him ever since he returned to the Elemental Nations; could you tell us what he's been up to", spoke Minako, who decided to interject herself into the conversation after being relayed the explanation by Naomi.

This got crazy eye twitching from Naruto, who was a little annoyed that they were talking about him like he wasn't there… when he was right there!

"Ya know… you could always ask me", Naruto spoke, his eyes twitching at being forgotten.

"Oh… ehehehe sorry. Naruto, can you…?", Minako chuckled as she rubbed the back of her head.

"Of course… well, I stayed in Uzushiogakure and trained in the Uzumaki arts for several years as well as learning more about the world. Next, I began to travel around, doing missions whenever they presented themselves. Then, I found myself getting involved in Kiri's Civil War; I did a few missions before we were finally able to end it with a new Mizukage being selected", Naruto spoke, not noticing a smirk grow on his ghostly grandparent's face.

"We think you forgot to mention that you are involved with the new Mizukage, Naruto", the two spirits said, causing Naruto's eyes to widen and pale.

"You're with someone?", all three living uzumaki women said, delivering a glare to him.

"Um, ah…", Naruto stuttered, not expecting their reactions to who he was involved with.

"I'll be damned if some woman tries to take my son/ brother away from me!", the three shouted simultaneously. They didn't like the fact that another woman could possibly take his attention away from them.

"Now hold on a minute—", Naruto started to say until he was interrupted.

"No! We just got you back, and I don't want to lose you again", Kushina said, her voice full of emotion.

Naruto quickly grabs all three women into a hug as he begins to spoke softly to them, "First off, none of you will ever lose me, no matter who I see; but who I see is my business and my business alone. Besides, I am sure that if everything is planned out that we can come up with something that everyone will be happy with."

He gave them a quick assuring squeeze before letting go as well as a peck on the cheek, causing all three of them to blush.

Minako, Kushina, and Naomi were all stuck in their own little worlds when Naruto kissed them, and it didn't help that while in his four-way hug that they got a good feel of his well-muscled form. They were jerked out of fantasy land when they heard Kenshin start to speak to Naruto.

"I sure hope that you haven't been slipping in your training these past few weeks."

"No I haven't. In fact, I was thinking about asking my family if they wanted to have a little spar with me after breakfast", he said, turning his sight towards the three women.

Minako, Kushina, and Naomi all thought it over, and decided that it would be interesting to see how he handles situations like this.

"Sure, I have always wanted to see what else you can do", Minako spoke, getting excited at gaining the possibility of learning more about her son.

"Great, but do you have any training grounds that are private as I don't want to advertise my skills to other potential opponents in the Chunin", replied Naruto.

Minako simply nodded, and fifteen minutes later everyone was finished with their breakfast.

They quickly got ready for the spar with Minako, Kushina, and Naomi were adorning their respective kunoichi gear. Naruto was also adorning his gear, and, much to his two mothers and sister's disappointment, his mask. They left the house, and fifteen minutes later they arrived at a secluded training ground: training ground 44.


"Now, before we start; I will need to set up a barrier that will prevent any other kunoichis from sensing or seeing inside the barrier", Minako spoke as she began setting up the barrier.

Once the barrier was set up, everyone got into their places: Naruto facing Minako, Kushina, and Naomi; while Kenshin and Kasumi were floating on the sidelines, watching the match.

Kenshin spoke up, "Alright, now that everyone is settled we can begin the matches, which will be one on one. The first match will be Naomi vs. Naruto, then Kushina vs. Naruto, and finally Minako vs. Naruto. Each match will have a five minute break in between."

Both Minako, after being relayed to instructions by Kushina, and Kushina back up to give Naomi the needed space for the spar.

"Alright… Naomi, Naruto… begin", said Minako.

Naomi wasted no time, and formed the clone hand seal, creating massive amounts of shadow clones, and had them all covering every escape route as she prepared her next technique.

"All-Direction Shuriken!"

The multitude of clones threw shuriken after shuriken, cutting off any escape route Naruto may have had.

Naruto, however, quickly formed the Ram seal, "Hiding in Surface!" He then sunk into the ground, evading the deadly rain of shuriken.

Seeing this Naomi dispelled the clones, and pulled out two kunais in reverse grip in the hopes of countering whatever he came up with next.

Suddenly, he flew out of the ground, his sword out, ready to strike at Naomi's unprotected back. Unfortunately, Naomi's senses choose this time to start screaming at her as she barely dodged the strike, landing a few feet away from Naruto.

She retaliated by throwing a kunai, it hitting its target with a shink. She mentally did a happy dance about how she got him… that was until Naruto cracked a small smile, and disappeared in a puff of smoke, revealing a… shuriken?

Out of the corner of her eye, Naomi saw Naruto appear, his blade poised to deliver a horizontal ark at her mid-section. The blade struck, cutting through flesh; Naomi's eyes widen in pain and shock, and all three members there thought that she had been seriously hurt… until she turned into a puff of smoke, revealing her to be a shadow clone.

Naomi revealed herself as her brother sheathed his blade, panting from the exertion she had done with their spar.

"Huff huff… You're really good, big brother… huff…", she panted out, exhaustion showing on her face.

"You too, little sister. Our parents did well by you, but this spar ends now", Naruto said.

Naomi was about to say something, but she was cut off via a knee being rammed in her gut by her brother, who appeared out of nowhere. As she doubled over, Naruto took this opportunity to deliver a chop to the back of Naomi's head, knocking her out.

"Alright, Naruto… let's wait for Naomi to wake, and then we can continue the spar", Minako said, hoping that Naomi wasn't hurt too badly.

Three minutes later, Naomi awoke, "Oh… anybody get the name of that stud that hit me…"

Minako, Kushina, and Naruto all had amused looks on their faces and a little bit of blush, while Naomi released what she said, blushed as well.

"Wow, I didn't know I could affect you so, little sister", said Naruto, still possessing a little blush from her words.

This caused Naomi's blush to deepen as she tried to hide her face with her hands.

"Ok… let's start the next match. Naruto… Kushina… get in position", said Minako.


"Good luck Naruto", Kushina said, a smile adorning her face.

"You too, Mom", Naruto replied.

Naruto unsheathed his blade in a reverse grip, while Kushina brought out a kunai. A single step later, and both sped towards each other to cross their blades.

Naruto delivered an erratic array of horizontal clock-wise and counter-clock-wise slashes, while sparingly ducking Kushina's strikes. His sword form would've dazed his opponent if they had been equal in experience; however, his opponent was Kushina, whose superior experience was aiding her in fending off his erratic form. Despite her superior experience, she avoided Naruto's last strike by jumping back.

Kushina's face grew a smile as she looked at her son, "That is an interesting form, Naruto. It relies on maneuverability, and constant movement as well as dodging to deliver an erratic array of slashes. In addition, it seems like a style that doesn't utilize katas, so integration of physical moves like punches and kicks might be possible."

A small smirk grew on Naruto's face, impressed that she had been able to identify the basics of his style; however, he wondered how she would react if he mixed things up. He brought his sword into the straight position at his side as he walked towards Kushina.

Kushina, seeing this, thrust her kunai to the middle of his torso; however, Naruto countered by bringing his down pointed blade to clash with the kunai, and redirecting it to empty space on his left side, which set him up to deliver an elbow right to Kushina's face, sending her stumbling back three feet.

Naruto, not finished with his assault, decided to battle test out a new technique he developed. It utilized change in chakra nature and control, and was loosely related to Tsunade of the Sannin's super strength technique. In training this technique, he channeled water nature chakra to his fist, and released it at a certain point. He had Aoa use her byakugan to see the effects of the technique. The pulse of water nature chakra pushed other water molecules in the air and other objects; in addition, it also increased the force and range of the physical blow. The only negative aspect was the amount of control of the technique: less control meant less force and range added, while more control created the opposite effect.

Before Kushina could mount a counteroffensive, he converted, channeled, and released his technique in the form of an open palm.

Kushina hastily put her arms up in defense instinctually, and was confused when nothing happened; that is, until she was blasted back by a strong shockwave. She landed on her back, feeling like she just took a gentle fist strike to the chest.

"Ow… that hurt, Dettebane!", Kushina shouted, her verbal tick rearing its head. Kushina steadily got back on her feet before she yelled, "Okay, kid gloves are off, Dettebane!"

As her verbal tick appeared for the second time, multiple chakra chains began emerging from her body.

'So, she's using her chakra chains now, huh?', Naruto thought as he began to manifest his own chains.

Kushina's chains then burst into movement, snaking around Naruto's dome of existence, cutting off any route of escape. Then, chains from every vantage point soared inward, looking to bind Naruto.

However, Naruto utilized his chains to block his mother's assault; unfortunately, Kushina's superior experience with her own chains allowed her to outmaneuver Naruto's chain movements, binding him.

He tried to get out of the binding by using the Body Replacement; however, he was unable to, leaving him suspended in the air by chains.

Seeing his confused face, Kushina decided to let him in on a little secret, "You're wondering why you're not able to escape, via most likely the Body Replacement. Well, these chains, with enough practice, one can not only bind their opponent, but also negate the target's chakra usage."

Naruto gained a look of understanding as she explained this latest anomaly; but also a look of resignation, knowing he had been beaten, "I concede."

Kushina simply nodded and released him from her chains.

"That thing you did with your palm and everything was impressive, but what exactly did you do?", asked Kushina, curious as to how her son knocked without actually touching her.

Naruto chuckled as he quickly explained his technique in full.

Kushina along with Minako, who overheard his explanation, were impressed with the technique and its applications in a fight. There were similarities between Naruto's and Tsunade's respective techniques. Both possessed impressive strength enhancement, although Tsunade's is at a higher level due to her superior control; however, she must make physical contact with the opponent to be effective, while Naruto's has no such weakness.


Five minutes later, and Naruto and Minako were now in position for their spar; standing across from each other, not saying a word.

Minako starts the match by throwing one of her tri-pronged kunai at Naruto, it passing by his head, allowing her to teleporting to his back, with her fist arched back ready to deliver a blindside assault.

She thought that she had gotten the first blow of the match, but she was proven wrong as her fist made contact with Naruto's exposed back and phased through it.

With a burst of static, Naruto appeared behind Minako, and lashed out with a kick at Minako's ribs. The kick connected, or so it seemed as Minako's usage of the Body Replacement made itself known via a puff of smoke.

Minako walked out from behind a nearby tree as she went over everything she had seen from her son so far, 'He is well trained in taijutsu as well as his kenjutsu. He has some knowledge on ninjutsu, but all I have seen from him so far is the Bushin, and he hasn't brought out that chakraless cutting technique either; although the technique he used to dodge my Flying Thunder God was impressive as he must have pretty high reflexes to utilize it to its effectiveness. However, I wonder if he has any skill in fuinjutsu.'

Ending her inner monologue, she armed herself with another tri-pronged kunai, and engaged her son, who unsheathed his own blade, in a battle of blades.

Thrusts, slashes, and metal clanging against each other filled the air as the spar continued. The scuffle ended when Minako over-extended her thrust, allowing Naruto to grasp her exposed hand and into an over shoulder throw.

Minako's body rolled a few feet from her landing spot, ending up on her stomach. She quickly got into a crouching position to better defend against another assault.

This was a good move as Naruto appeared before her in a burst of static to deliver a knee to her crouched form.

She flipped him over her, while simultaneously turning her body towards him to pounce on him quickly. She brought out a kunai to give her the edge to make him submit; however, Naruto was going down that easy.

He caught her bladed arm, while using his other arm to swat away her free hand to prevent her from gaining better leverage. Getting a bit of room, he brought a foot up, and slammed it into Minko's chest, sending her back, rolling over her shoulders and onto her stomach. He sat up, and saw that Minako was already to a knee, beginning to pounce on him again.

'Close!', he thought as he weaved through hand seals and shouted, "Rewards of Heaven!"

LIME, SKIP IF YOU DON'T LIKE

Minako, in mid-air, seized up, and landed atop Naruto in a compromising position. Her head was lying on his sternum, her breast mashed against his muscled stomach, and her legs wedged underneath his own. She was panting heavily due to the intensity of Naruto's technique, and could feel her body heating up in arousal, growing larger as the seconds go by.

"N-n-naruto! P-please… r-release the… ~whimper~ …technique", she pleaded as her arousal grew to maddening heights.

Naruto quickly assessed the situation: sure he could release the technique, and let the spar continue; however, he was trained by many people, including those of his new-found clan, to take advantage of any weakness an opponent shows in order to come out with the victory. So, with that in mind and a growing smirk on his face, he set his plan into motion.

He placed on hand on her cheek and caressing it, while he did the same with his other arm, up and down her back. Due to the intensity to the technique applied, the smallest touches would have greater effects; and actual pleasure courses would be overwhelming.

"Ahhn!... p-please… ah…", Minako begged, as her moans became more pronounced as her pleasurable torture continued.

Naruto brought both arm upon her back, increasing his caressing of the area, and whispered sensually in her ear, "But you didn't give me what I want."

She moans aloud again as her hips start to move on their own, grinding her leaking core onto his groin.

"Give me what I want… say you submit", he said, his words flowing out like honey. He pulled her up to sitting position as he spoke, while Minako continued to grind her pelvis against his.

"I-i… ah… ah… I…", she stuttered, as her mind was screaming at her to give in to this unbelievable pleasure.

Seeing she was close, Naruto decided to up his ploy; by removing his mask, nibbling on her neck, and kneading her plump rear end. He then began his own grinding, increasing her pleasure even more, and spoke softly, "Please… submit… Mina."

Being called a pet name was that last straw, as Minako came… hard, and screamed, "Yes! I'll do it… I submit!"

She quickly passed out from the pleasure she was feeling as well as physical exhaustion, and Naruto gently placed her down on the ground as he got up. He looked towards his audience to find Kushina and Naomi blushing heavily, while his grandparents were looking at him with amused smirks.

END


Minako woke up a few minutes later, and couldn't look her son in the eye. She turned her head towards Kushina, who was still blushing, and noticed her eyes seemed to be staring at her. She followed the stare and saw that it led to her now thoroughly soaked crotch; her blush matched her lover's hair. She got out of there faster than you could say flying thunder god.

This left Naruto with his mother, sister, and grandparents, and when he began to make his way towards them only to have a difficult time doing so because of a 'problem' that occurred.

His mother, sister, and grandparents noticed his 'problem' in the form of a bulge on his lower half. It seems Minako was not the only one affected by the manner of how he won the match. If possible, Kushina and Naomi's blushes got even redder than their own hair.

A small blush crossed his face, and would get redder with what his grandparents were about to say.

"Well, who know that you took to seduction tactics so well. Maybe we can further your experience through practice with willing people, huh?", spoke Kasumi, whose face never lost her smirk, while sending discreet glances towards Kushina and Naomi when she talked about willing people.

Both uzumaki women caught the glances and 'eeped', while Naruto thought that they had 'eeped' because her saw them staring.

He decided to quickly get out of dodge before something else happened that would embarrass him further, and disappeared in a burst of static.

While both Kushina and Naomi would not flat out admit it, they were a 'little' jealous of their spouse/parent for the position she was in with Naruto, and deep down they simultaneously thought, 'Lucky bitch.'


Kushina and Naomi walked through the door of their house, and saw an interesting sight: a lightly flushed Minako sitting at the end of their couch, her head leaning against Naruto's shoulder, whose own head was resting atop of Minako's head and his arm wrapped around her shoulder. Both appeared to be asleep; however, Naruto cracked an eye open and waved them over to join them with his free hand.

Both women smiled as got into a comfortable position with Kushina taking up his other side as he wrapped his arm down her back and around her arm waist; and Naomi gently crawled over Kushina's legs and laid her head on Naruto's lap, while the rest of her body laid upon Kushina's lap and the rest of the couch. All members of the family drifted off the world of dreams.


Next morning, the family awoke and got breakfast ready, and when the finished breakfast they went into the living room to talk about the events of the day before.

"So, the spar was enlightening yesterday. You showed quite a bit of skill in your movements as well as in how you plan those movements", Minako said, as she looked at her only son with pride that he was so capable. She began speaking again, "Truthfully, the only thing that you really need would be to increase your experience. I think that your arsenal is impressive, especially your chakraless techniques. I know of the other one as I had Akasha grant me access of her memories of you when you encountered each other in Wave."

Naruto simply nodded at Minako's assessment as he thought of how much things had changed for him in the last few days. He has parents that didn't care about him being male, despite their society; and a sister as well. This led him to thinking that he didn't really know all that much about them; however, now he was going to change that and get to know his family.

"So, how did you two meet?", Naruto asked.

Minako was about to answer until an exuberant Kushina beat her to the punch, "Oh, it started after I came to Konoha as a little girl, and when we were both in the academy. Mina was often seen as the flaky person, even I thought so. Until one day after the academy, I had gotten captured by a Kumo chunin kunoichi. As she was taking me out of Konoha to Kumo, I was discreetly taking pieces of my hair, which I hated during the time, to leave a trail behind for someone to hopefully find me before it was too late. Just when I thought that it didn't work Mina came out of nowhere, saving me from a terrible fate. Ever since then, me and Mina have been together."

Naruto couldn't help but snicker when his mother called his 'father' flaky, and was impressed that an academy student could beat a chunin. He had heard how Uzu was before its fall, and so he asked Kushina about her early childhood.

"Well, I lived with my parents until I was six, and then I was moved to Konoha a few years before Uzu's fall. As I grew up with my parents, I acted like a kid; although they did train me based on what I was capable of at the time. In addition to my parents giving me the rudimentary sealing lessons, including calligraphy writings and knowledge", said Kushina, reminiscing about her childhood.

"After the academy, I trained and rose up the ranks, while Mina had gotten apprenticed to Jiraiya and we lived in relative peace; that is, until the third kunoichi war began. Most wars are very messy and this one was too, but we were able to end thanks in to the effort of Mina and her Flying Thunder God. After placing the sealing formula at multiple locations, it allows Mina to teleport to those locations instantly. That technique alone ended the war between Konoha and Iwa during the war", Kushina spoke, delving back into her memories.

"So… how were you and 'father' when you guys found out you were pregnant?", Naruto asked, half curious, half afraid of what he would hear.

Both Minako and Kushina gained gentle, loving looks on their faces, which were directed at Naruto as well as Naomi, who was sitting next to him on the couch. Minako decided to take over answering questions for a bit, since Kushina had been quite the motor-mouth for a time now.

"When we learned Kushina was pregnant… we were ecstatic; and then we were told that we would be having twins. That just made us happier that there was more to love. With me not knowing who my parents were and Kushina having a male as a parent; we knew that, while extremely rare, there would be a small chance that at least one of our children would be born male. Despite how males from clans are treated: either being put in the orphanage or raised as a servant of the clan; we didn't care… you were our little boy. Since Kushina lost her parents when she was young and myself never knowing my parents, we didn't want either fate pushed upon you. To be thrown away to the orphanage or raised as a servant, both fates stripping a families love from you; no child deserves that", Minako said, tears flowing from her eyes as she reminisced the days speaking to her children through Kushina's pregnant belly.

"And then… when you two were born, we were so happy. You two looked so beautiful, so precious, and then we lost you", she said, now tears were flowing out of both women's eyes.

Naruto, seeing this, quickly wrapped the two women in a gentle hug; whispering how he was here and that he wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.

The two women sobbed into his chest as they wrapped their arms around his torso, almost afraid that he would disappear. They stayed like this for a few minutes until the two got everything out of their system.

Kushina, after getting the sobs out of her system, decided to try and get information on the girl that caught her son's eye, "So, I know that we were unreasonable with how we acted when we found out that you were involved with someone, and we know that it is your life and your choice who you're with, but we were hoping that you could tell us more about the girl whose caught your eye?"

"Well, it started when I went through Kiri's boarders after running into a group of Kiri chunin kunoichi. After I prevented their attempt at kidnapping me to use for their own purposes, I was found by Kiri rebels, who took me into their base to meet their leader. Her name is Mei Terumi, and she is a wonderful women. She helped me so much when I had problems after a particular mission. She got me to not feel terrible about my actions, and we just kind of hit it off. After helping her win the war in Kiri, she became the Mizukage; and Kiri has been on an upward flow ever since", Naruto said, as he reminisced his meeting and romantic development of his lover.

The family spent the rest of the day in each other's company, learning all they could about each other; although Minako, Kushina, Naomi knew a good amount about each other already.


Naomi had gotten back into the swing of training, but, instead of Jiraiya, Minako, Kushina, and sometimes Naruto would help her round her bases; which mostly resided in taijutsu since her opponent dabbled heavily in that aspect. It concerned anticipating an opponents' strike as well as deflecting it to form counter strikes.

When the three women asked what Naruto was going to do with his match, but all he said was that it was a secret; however, he did ask Minako and Kushina if they knew any higher level forms of chakra control as he had already mastered tree-walking and water-walking. Luckily, they did and were all too happy to have something that they could teach him.

So they developed this training regimen for the rest of the month: two days would be used for Minako, Kushina, and Naruto to help train Naomi, while Naruto would send five clones to work on the new chakra control exercises. The day after that is Naomi's rest day, while Naruto creates his maximum limit of one hundred clones to work on the control exercises with the supervision of Minako and Kushina.

At the end of the month, both Naruto and Naomi had grown in skill in their respective trained capabilities. Naomi had gotten her taijutsu and her chakra control to a higher degree, while Naruto had increased his chakra control immensely as well as increasing his reserves.

Both had prepared not only for their first match, but also for future matches in the second half of the exams. While they did know what would happen, they knew one thing: whatever happens in the exams will be very interesting.
