Author's Note: My deepest apologies for the horrible delay; my new job threw my schedule way more outta whack than anticipated, but I'm back, baby!
Chapter Twenty-Three: Hinata Finally Gets Her Man
Later that day, after escorting Hinata to her apartment, Naruto was in a nearby training ground, accompanied by Glissa. This time, however, Valtrois and Bruenna were also present, the Neurok and knocked up Chosen wondering if he could learn their magic system and see just how different the two really were.
"I sense a lot of red mana of all things," Valtrois commented, her hands glowing blue from a divination spell. "There's also a very large green presence, likely from being born and raised in a woodland, but I'd imagine red magic being easier for him to learn."
"To be fair," Glissa chimed in, "that woodland is in the middle of a river valley… I've also noticed a lot of red mana in the area. The very earth itself is soaked in it, in fact. It's no wonder they call this place the land of fire."
"Fire is apparently the most common elemental affinity in the area," Bruenna added, looking very interested. "Maybe that has something to do with it?"
"Wouldn't be surprised," the planeswalker commented. "The mana of an area can affect far more than most people realize, so it's entirely possible that it can affect things we don't know about." (1)
"Is there anything else you can detect?" Bruenna asked the pregnant elf. He had a demon sealed in him so there's a good chance he could be aligned with Black Mana because of her.
Valtrois gave the Neurok a look for a moment before saying, "Give me a moment…" then she focused her divination spell a bit more to see if there were any other colors he was aligned with. "He does seem to have some black mana within him… most likely from the demon. Ah… interesting… it would seem that the demon herself is filled to the brim with red and black mana."
"Really now?" Glissa was surprised to hear that, "Well, that certainly could explain a lot."
Naruto, meanwhile, just stared at the hot-ass women surrounding him… though not in a lewd context this time. He was just confused. Literally everything they said just went right over his head.
"...Um...what're you girls talking about?" Red mana? Green mana? Black mana? What did they mean mean? Was it good? Was it bad? He needed context!
Once she was done with her examination, Valtrois could see the question marks above his head and giggled. "Well, then," she chirped, "let's clarify a few things, shall we?"
Seeing the rather lost expression upon her hubby's face, Glissa smiled. "That seems like it would be a good idea, actually."
"Right… where to begin…" Bruenna mused aloud, taking the initiative. "Basically, our magic is fueled by mana, a type of natural energy all around us. There are five kinds of mana, too: black, white, red, blue, and green."
"Alright…?" Naruto muttered, able to keep up with her for now. "I take it that green mana has something to do with forests, then?"
"Indeed it does," Bruenna replied. "Or rather, it's the other way around. Forests and woodlands are where green mana comes from. Red mana comes from the mountains and black mana comes from swamplands. White and blue, for the record, come from flatlands and bodies of water respectively, and each of these different types of mana fuels different kinds of magic."
"Okay… I think I understand… but as far as I know there's no swamplands anywhere near the land of fire, so I can't see how myself or the fox could have Black mana…" Naruto pondered for a moment before looking at Bruenna again and asking, "...Unless there's more to it than just the environment?"
Unknown to Naruto, the vixen was also listening with interest. This was the first time she's ever heard of something like color alignments. She was also curious if there was more to these color alignments than just environment. Were there other factors that determined it? What were the individual magics capable of?
'Quite curious, indeed,' she mused.
"Black magic is unholy in nature," Glissa explained. "Basically anything that has to deal with demons or creating undead is pretty much always black-aligned. Sometimes, there's another color mixed in, but I have yet to see a full-on exception."
"In short, it's probably because the Kyuubi is a demon in and of itself that you have some black mana in you," Bruenna concluded.
Naruto scratched his chin. "Oh. That makes sense, I guess."
"That being said," Valtrois said, "I believe trying to teach you green magic is a good place to start. As I'm sure you'd guess, it's basically nature magic. Wind magic can also be green, so perhaps the similarity would make it easier to learn?"
Bruenna perked up at that. She'd heard that wind magic could be green as well, but was never able to see it up close until now.
"Only one way to find out," the Neurok chirped.
For some reason, Naruto couldn't help but be a little worried about how enthusiastic she was.
Just shy of an hour later, Naruto was now in the Treetop Village, meditating. With Valtrois and Glissa's help, he reached out, trying to get a feel for the green mana in the area.
It was just so different from what he was used to.
Chakra was a completely different type of energy, created from within by combining one's spiritual and physical energies. Meanwhile, this mana stuff was an external power source that he had to draw towards him and weave according to them. Easier said than done… but with their guidance he'll eventually get it down!
Though Glissa was very awkward and amateurish, far more of a coach than an actual teacher, she did her best to teach him regardless. It also helped that Vlatrois and Bruenna were there. They were both also very inexperienced in the realm of teaching, and it showed, but with the two of them and Glissa working together, that wasn't an issue. (2)
It was quite the struggle for all of them, but with their guidance, patience, and encouragement he eventually managed to gather some mana.
"Alright," Valtrois urged, "let's start with a pretty basic spell. I want you to aim a gust of wind at that bush." She gestured at the shrub in question. "Now, follow my lead." She made some gestures, seemingly weaving the mana she gathered between her palms. Of course she did so slowly, instructing Naruto along the way so that he could understand what she was doing. And then, the elven mage thrust her hands at the bush and a powerful gale pushed against it. "Your turn," she chirped.
Naruto nodded and followed her instructions. She guided him through it, stopping him a few times to correct his hand gestures, and when he got it down, Naruto trust his hands at the bush… and to his surprise, the gust of wind was so powerful that the poor thing was utterly destroyed, its leaves blasted off and the plant uprooted from the mighty squall. Several plants behind it shared the same fate.
Glissa, Bruenna, and Valtrois couldn't help but stare at the carnage and upturned dirt as Naruto looked a bit sheepish.
"Well, then," Bruenna commented, "someone's got a knack for this, it seems."
"I'm better at learning from example," the blond told her. "It's one of the reasons I got such bad grades in the academy. Words on paper just… don't do it for me, y'know?" (3)
"I'll bear that in mind," the Neurok chirped.
And so, Naruto's magic training began in earnest from there.
The next few days proved rather uneventful beyond that… until another student tried to fill Sakura's slot; she also disappeared rather quickly, so nothing came of that, unfortunately… save for an investigation that went nowhere fast when her parents filed a missing persons report the next day.
Naruto couldn't help but wonder what the hell was going on with that, but there was nothing he could do about it. So, he focused on what he could help with.
That said, the blond in question took a deep, calming breath as he stood before the door to Hinata's apartment. He'd been drawing this out long enough… Though Taj Nar's status wouldn't expire for some time, it would be best for them to get this done before the Hyuuga Clan elders could find a way to cause them trouble.
They weren't very fond of him, after all, so he wouldn't put something like that .past them.
"Alright," Naruto sighed, mentally preparing himself for what was bound to be a very awkward conversation with poor Hinata. The leonin guards couldn't help but find it amusing, though they remained silent.
And with that, the blond knocked politely.
"C-coming," Hinata called out.
Oh, she will be if the girl had anything to say about it…
Pushing those thoughts aside, said girl opened up and showed herself to Naruto… and the blond's reaction did wonders for her self-esteem.
Hinata was garbed in a rather sexy, violet cocktail dress; it was a sleeveless v-neck, showing off a modest, but enticing amount of cleavage and reaching down to just above the knees. Damn did it look good on her, too… She wore a pair of black stockings and matching slippers with it, alongside some minimalistic, but still nice makeup and a highly alluring perfume left him rather… hot and bothered. A matching purse finished the look.
Naruto wasn't quite sure why, but for some reason, something about that scent made him want to just push her back, lock the door behind him, and breed Hinata right then and there on her living room floor! It took every single fiber of his being to resist, but he managed… barely.
Turning beet red and averting his gaze, Naruto did his best to hide his boner. Hinata had spotted it immediately but said nothing.
"Y-you look really nice," he complimented, causing the girl to blush and fidget cutely.
"Th-thank you," she sputtered.
Naruto then took a moment to force down his raging hormones and reached a hand out to Hinata. The girl in question eagerly latched onto his arm without a word and they were off.
Ten minutes later, Hinata was on top of the world as they made their way to Naruto's favorite restaurant. She was beet red from her collar bone to the roots of her hair as they walked in and attracted more than a little attention
Ayame perked up after seeing the young dating couple enter and was surprised to see whom the blond was with. "Well, well," the brunette commented. "Someone's getting braver~!"
Hinata only blushed harder at that.
"So," brunette started, whipping out two menus for them to use as they approached, "are we going with a regular table or…"
"P-private," Hinata interrupted, surprising them both. "W-we'd like a private table."
"Y-you're sure about that, Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked. "I don't want you to feel forced into it."
"I… I am," she insisted, averting her gaze. She squeezed his arm wantingly. He was so considerate… it only made her lust for him even more!
"Oh, my," Ayame teased. "How brave of you~! This way, then."
Now, both Naruto and Hinata were blushing as they were guided to the back by the hostess. Once they were seated in the private room, Ayame placed the menus down on the table for them to take and waited for the two teens to pick out their orders.
"So, what can I get you two, then?"
Naruto looked at the list before picking one out. "Ramen with Naruto toppings, and a glass of orange juice sounds good," he said.
"T-the same for me, but with a glass o-of milk." Hinata added.
While the two of them were busy looking through the list, Ayame had whipped out a small notebook and a pen and when Naruto and Hinata both gave her their orders, the brunette wrote them down and snapped her little book closed with a smile.
"Alright. I'll get Jub-Jub on it right away." Ayame turned and walked out of the room. Just before she passed the doorway, she stopped and turned to look at them. "Now, be good, you two~!" She sent Hinata a knowing smile, complete with a wink, before leaving their line of sight.
The poor Hyuuga took a deep calming breath; she could hear her heart pounding! Naruto, meanwhile, was staring with amusement and allowed a tiny smile to grace his lips. She was just so cute!
"So, Hinata-chan" he began in an attempt to strike up a conversation while they waited for their food to arrive. "About that issue with the seal…"
"I've... spoken to the Khanha... and f-filled out th-the paperwork," she sputtered.
Naruto stared at her for a moment. "I see," he said. "So it's Plan A, then."
Hinata gave him a warm smile. "Y-you seemed t-too uncomfortable with making me y-your concubine," she said. "A-and I never got along with my clan… so being excommunicated is… n-not so bad."
The blond couldn't help but notice that his date was sputtering a bit less as she slowly but surely got more comfortable. She was still soft-spoken as all hell, but it was progress. He couldn't help but feel that it was depressing for Hinata to feel that way about her own flesh and blood, but pushed those thoughts aside for later so as not to kill the mood.
"Glad to see you're becoming more confident," Naruto commented with a smile. "Don't get me wrong, your shyness is really cute, but seeing you working so hard to improve yourself is endearing." Though he found her fainting on him to be pretty damned annoying at times, he kept it to himself since voicing that would be counter-productive.
He wanted Hinata to get better. Not worse.
The Hyuuga in question giggled, blushing hard and fidgeting again.
"And that was just adorable," he chuckled. Naruto tried to keep his eyes above her neck, but her fidgeting did wonders in making her massive bosom jiggle enticingly. The fact they were moving so freely told him that her dress was the only thing covering them.
Thankfully, the table was in the way of his incriminating boner...
Seriously, though… how the hell were they so damn big at her age?! Even Lyese's bosom wasn't as big and she was both a fully-grown woman and a mother!
Of course, Hinata, being the secretly-lewd girl she was, immediately spotted his attempts to keep from staring at her… assets and found it endearing. He was just so sweet and considerate!
It also did wonders for the girl's self-esteem to know that her Naruto-kun thought she was attractive.
Before the two could continue their conversation, though, Ayame carried in a tray with two bowls of ramen with Naruto toppings, and their drinks. While handing them their order, the brunette started feeling a bit mischievous and leaned down to whisper something naughty into Naruto's ear.
"If you need another round when you're done with her, let me know~!"
Naruto turned beet red at that.
Well, if the fire he spotted in Hinata's eyes was of any indication, they weren't about to leave before he made yet another baby… Was that a good thing or a bad one? He wasn't sure quite yet, but his dick most certainly approved. Pushing those thoughts aside, Naruto got to eating and Hinata followed his example.
Several minutes later, the bowls and glasses were emptied of their contents and both Hinata and Naruto were leaning up against the backrest of the loveseat they shared. The ramen barely made a dent in their appetites, but it was a good meal nonetheless.
Naruto looked to the pale-eyed girl and paused when he saw her stretching her arms above her head. Hinata's back was arched and her dress was practically straining at the seams as it tried to contain her massive bust. He did his best not to stare… and failed miserably. If anyone he knew could give him a tit job, it was her!
Well, that wasn't entirely true; there was Kemba and Glissa, and Lamb as well, now that he thought about it, but her tits were slightly bigger than even theirs!
He couldn't help but wonder what she'd look like in her twenties.
Banishing those thoughts for a more… appropriate time, Naruto decided to break the silence between them.
"So, Hinata-chan," he began, deciding to return to why they were here. "About getting excommunicated..." He averted his gaze and scratched one cheek awkwardly. "Well, uh… how do you wanna go about it, then? Is there anything you wanna do to—"
"Y-you," she muttered, bringing his train of thought to a screeching halt. Then, the poor thing realized what she said and immediately started trying to sputter some manner of excuse or apology… possibly both? It was hard to tell.
Naruto couldn't help but let loose a hearty chuckle at that. "I'm sorry, but that was just so damn cute!"
That didn't help…
He sighed in amused exasperation. Ovaria was probably gonna laugh her ass off when she finds out.
Naruto let out another laugh and put an arm around her shoulders, and pulled a startled squawk out of her when she was brought into a one-armed hug. A cloud of steam rose from her cheeks; her emotions started bouncing back and forth between embarrassed and really fucking horny.
And then…
Something in Hinata snapped; she grabbed Naruto by his coat and pulled him down into a hungry kiss. Both of them were blushing, now, as they parted and started looking anywhere but each other.
After a long, awkward silence filled the room as a result, Hinata was surprisingly the first one to speak.
"I…" She hesitated. "I've l-liked you for as long as I can remember," she said.
"R-really?" Naruto asked, looking surprised to hear that.
Hinata nodded and started fidgeting again. "M-my family and I never got along," she explained. "They see me as too weak. Even Otou-sama seems... disappointed in me; though he tries so hard to hide it and still cares, I… can tell. It was so hard for me as a child… I even thought about committing suicide, but then… I started going to the academy and saw you for the first time."
Naruto perked up in surprise at that last part.
"D-despite how bad you had it… despite how much worse it was for you than me, you kept going… seeing that determination you had in-inspired me. Eventually, that admiration developed into something… stronger." Hinata gave him a sidelong glance, before averting her gaze… and from there, the dam broke. She curled up into a ball, hugged her knees, and started spilling her guts right then and there. "It's why I was so jealous of Kemba-san when she stormed into our classroom. I… I thought she was going to take away… t-to snatch you up from right under me and… to make matters worse, she was so much more confident and aggressive. She was strong and feisty... she was everything I couldn't ever be and I knew it. But, now I… I… I see how wrong I was… I'm still jealous, but only because I…" (4)
Her confession was stopped short when Naruto reached over and cupped her cheek, gently making her look at him, before sealing her lips with his. He'd heard enough. Naruto was probably going to hate himself in the morning, but after hearing that, his decision was made.
Hinata melted into the liplock, her eyes rolling back as she shifted and wrapped her arms around Naruto. Then she closed her eyes and pressed herself against him, deepening the kiss and moaning into his lips.
Then, she withdrew and pushed him back slightly to give herself some room before getting up from the love seat, grabbed his coat, and pulled him with her as she walked backwards; hopping onto the table, Hinata then pulled him into another kiss.
Taking the hint, Naruto spread her legs and reached up her skirt to caress Hinata through her panties… only to realize she wasn't wearing any. He growled hungrily into her lips. Clearly, Hinata-chan was not nearly as innocent as he thought she was. The sound sent pleasant shivers down her spine and Hinata's toes curled in anticipation. Then, Naruto's trousers started to slide down along with his boxers. Hinata put up no resistance when he lifted her skirt, even lifting her little rump to help him get it out of the way.
Naruto's dick throbbed violently at the sight of her neatly trimmed, violet curls when he withdrew from the kiss to guide the tip to her loins, his reservations forgotten in the heat of the moment. Hinata didn't help in the slightest as she unzipped his coat to get a good look at his bare chest underneath. When she licked her lips hungrily at the sight, Naruto lost whatever self control he still had and started sinking into her virgin snatch without a second thought.
Hinata's utterly whorish moan sent a hot shiver throughout Naruto's body that wracked him to the very core. It sounded so unlike her, but was such a treat to hear! The poor Hyuuga, meanwhile, felt tears in her eyes at the overwhelming sensation of being so damn full. Oh, gods, it felt bigger than it looked and hurt so good~! Her inner walls stretched to the breaking point, struggling to contain his beastly cock.
Little by little, Naruto eased himself into her, stopping and withdrawing slightly with each and every agonizingly delicious inch before sinking into her some more until finally, he bottomed out. Hinata struggled to breathe; her head was spinning; never in her life could she have imagined this alien blend of pain and pleasure. Then, he started to move again.
Wrapping her arms and legs around him, Hinata muffled her pleasured wails with a heated kiss and Naruto swallowed her lewd noises with glee as he truly started to fuck her. The sound of them making out mingled with that of Hinata's squelching pussy and the low thump of Naruto's balls slapping against her ass. Slowly but surely, Naruto's pace sped up until he found an even, but merciless one that drove Hinata completely mad.
The coil snapped within her almost immediately and the young woman clung onto him for dear life as she came hard all over his dick. Naruto smothered her squeals of pleasure and kept pounding her despite Hinata's inner walls squeezing the life out of him. He was nothing short of relentless; by the time she came down from her orgasm, a second one immediately followed. His skillful, merciless pounding only continued from there and then, he started to throb violently inside her; he was close and when she came a third time, Naruto held Hinata tightly in place. The blond simply couldn't help himself; throwing caution to the wind, giving into his base instinct to breed with this clearly fertile, healthy, very willing female, he slammed into her one last time. His balls contracted, his entire dick throbbed, and a gasp was ripped from his mate when she felt his hot seed splashing deep within her.
Hinata's eyes rolled back and Naruto thrust into her once more, releasing another glob of white within her loins… and another… and another. With every spurt, there was another gasp; with every gasp, another thrust; with every thrust another spurt, over and over again, until finally, Naruto's balls were emptied.
The blond pulled back from their liplock, a string of spit connecting them until Hinata released him. Then, he withdrew from her loins, taking her breath with him. Hinata shuddered and moaned at the loss, a string of white connecting them this time. Then, it too was snapped as he pulled away and a flood of white poured out from her raw, violated, freshly-deflowered folds.
Naruto looked at her and saw that she was completely out of it. The blond swore he could see actual hearts in her eyes; her face was red, her cheeks burning so hot that steam was rising from them and she had the cutest little "fucked silly" grin on her face.
And then she fainted.
Naruto chuckled warmly as he caught Hinata before she could hurt herself. The poor thing held on as long as she could. (5)
DMS Notes and Trivia:
1: One idea I've been toying with for a complete Naruto rewrite fanfic is that the Land of Fire is so named partially because of its culture having a reverence for fire and partially because something causes the locals to tend more towards having an affinity for fire than any other.
Not sure what that "something" will be quite yet, but for now, The Mirran being a Magic: the Gathering crossover provides a perfectly fine placeholder excuse, lol.
2: Given Glissa's personality, this is pretty easy to picture, methinks.
3: That makes a lot more sense than Naruto being a complete idiot in my opinion. He clearly has some cleverness to him, but also quite visibly has a harder time learning things without visual aid.
4: Alright, time for another rant...
I am so damn bothered by how Hinata's confession scene had seemingly no effect on her relationship with Naruto in the long term. Naruto saw her get stabbed, he went ape shit, and that's the extent of it. No further interactions in the aftermath that I recall, no development of their relationship, nothing. It wasn't even brought up again for ages, if at all. Was it even? I dropped the series after the Third Raikage fight and stopped watching The Last five minutes in after hearing Naruto say Kage Bunshin no Jutsu before he even stole the scroll in episode one of the anime.
Seriously, you'd think there'd be some quality control, but no... The fact that no one who was in charge of bringing that story to life remembered the distinction between Kage Bunshin no Jutsu and Bunshin no Jutsu is nothing short of inexcusable in my book, but I digress.
But yeah, if NaruHIna was going to be a thing or the love triangle Kishimoto-san "wanted" to have between Sakura, Hinata, and Naruto, then the aftermath of the Pein assault, when things died down, would have been the perfect opportunity to kick that off! Have Naruto confront Hinata about her feelings and let the character interactions write the story for you from there, for fuck's sake! I swear the man has zero understanding of cause and effect as a concept!
5: Hilariously, that last little part was inspired by a scene from The Nanny of all things. Never underestimate what can make the Muses sing, eh? XD
Parting Notes: And that is that! The epilogue is all that's left to edit; once we're done with that, Volume One of The Mirran will be complete. Shooting for either tomorrow or the day after.
Volume Two is already in the works, but still in early production because of my job fucking with my schedule, but I'm definitely not going anywhere and this story's getting done one way or another if I have anything to say about it!
As for Vulpine Overlord, that one's still being edited as well. Almost half way done, in fact. Got some new scenes to add, though, and I'll need to come up with a good arrangement with AdV. But, it is progressing, slowly but surely, despite the delays. I'll start posting again as soon as I can.
Until next time!
