Author's Note: Alright, this is the final entry for The Mirran: Volume One!
Been a fun ride and I can't wait for the next! I apologize again for the delays and hope y'all enjoy!
Epilogue: Visions of Things to Come
It went without saying that the Hyuuga Clan elders were not happy to hear that Hinata was pregnant, roughly twelve days after she finally lost her innocence. Fortunately for her, and unfortunately for them, everything went precisely according to plan and Hiashi "disowned" her soon after hearing about what she did out of wedlock… while also having a few choice words with Naruto about what would happen to his dick if anything happened to her.
Standard procedure as one would expect… (1)
And thus, the Khanha herself, Lyese of Viridia, sat before the Hyuuga Council soon after being summoned to discuss the matter.
Now donning a thick winter coat over her usual attire to try and keep warm in this "frozen wasteland" of a continent her sister brought them to, she sat regally in her chair, flanked by multiple guards and accompanied by a rather grumpy-looking leonin heiress. She also had a team of ANBU with her for good measure, in addition to a handful of angels and Koth.
All of them were bundled up in heavy winter clothes as more of an experiment than anything to see if it would help in keeping them warm. It was marginally effective.
Lyese herself looked rather antsy as well… with good reason, to be fair. While the Khanha knew Glissa would take good care of little Rashkha, she was still a mother at the end of the day and hated being away from her little bundle of joy, sleepless nights, and headaches.
"You wished to speak with me?" Lyese asked, addressing Hiashi expectantly.
"I wished to leave you be," the man clarified, turning his gaze to an elderly man sitting in the center of six others and two women. "Elder Shiro, however, insisted that the matter involving our former heiress has not yet been settled."
"Yes, quite," the man said with a nod. "There is still the matter of a… loose end we need to address."
"Please elaborate," Lyese grunted.
"Though young Hinata is no longer part of the clan," he said, "there is still the risk of her Byakugan falling into enemy hands that we should…"
"Oh, does this mean you will be branding yourselves with those seals?" Lyese interrupted. The Khanha grinned, enjoying the spectacle of the old man sputtering. She raised an eyebrow, her smile widening ever so slightly. "No? Then, I believe this matter is indeed resolved."
Recovering quickly, Elder Shiro glared at Lyese for her impudence, "The matter is not resolved! As long as she remains unbranded the chances of our enemies taking and using the Byakugan against us—"
"I frankly fail to see how that is my problem," Lyese interrupted him yet again. "Furthermore, if you are not willing to brand yourselves with that seal to prevent the Be-yakka… whatever from falling into enemy hands, then it simply must not be that important. Either that or there's something you're not telling me about the suspiciously-named Caged Bird Seal." She grinned smugly at the elders, clearly knowing more than she let on. "Would you care to share what that is?"
There was a brief moment of silence, before it was broken by another elder. "That is a clan matter," he dangerously said with a perpetual scowl.
Lyese raised an eyebrow at that. "And this is a clan matter that you dragged me into when I was having such a nice day."
There was another silence as she stared at the Hyuuga elders one by one evenly. It was then broken once again, this time by the Khanha herself.
"And in your own words, young Hinata… san is also no longer part of the clan," Lyese added, still not quite used to the honorifics of this weird language. "Clan matters no longer apply to her as she has been ousted for fornucating out of wedlock… with the deliberate intent to conceive… in public, no less. She is now a citizen of Taj Nar, thanks to an annoying, little blond who even went so far as to try and take Hinata's punishment on her behalf." She smiled fondly, her account not entirely true… but not entirely false.
Kemba smiled fondly as well, knowing full well that her lovable dunce of a husband meant every when he declared that he would do precisely that if he had to. (2)
"I simply could not say no, so I saw to it myself," Lyese finished. "What's done is done and I have no reason to undo it. Thus, the matter is resolved. Will that be all?"
Hiashi closed his eyes and inhaled and exhaled, doing his damndest to hide his relief. "I believe so," he said, turning to look at the elders expectantly. "Unless there is some law or decree I am unaware of, I can think of nothing to add to this conversation."
The deafening silence told them all they needed to know.
Meanwhile, in Iwagakure no Sato, a certain kage was not having a very nice day. His hands trembling in rage as he read Hiruzen's letter, Oonoki was absolutely livid. Several veins were visibly bulging on the side of his head and there was a fire in his eyes, a lust for blood as he learned of her granddaughter's fate at the hands of this "Mirran" Council.
"How… How dare they! How dare they do this to my little Kurotsuchi?!" Of course, the elderly kage was calling the kettle black since he assigned his granddaughter to assassinate Naruto, but that was beside the point! Oonoki took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, then he set the letter down and closed his eyes.
Oonoki wasn't stupid, he may have been old, some people may have called him senile, but he was not stupid. He saw the unwritten threat in the letter plain… but Oonoki was a stubborn man.
His granddaughter had been bound to the boy, likely by an enslavement seal from how it was implied. He had a few seal masters of his own, so recapturing her and undoing that would undoubtedly result in his granddaughter wreaking all manner of bloody vengeance upon that boy.
Also, the use of enslavement seals was highly frowned upon to the point of being illegal in no less than eighty percent of the known world, so he would likely gain some rather substantial support when other countries heard of his granddaughter's cruel and unusual punishment.
"Hmm… perhaps I can use this to my advantage..." And so the Sandaime Tsuchikage began to plot.
There were still people who feared the Uzumaki; people who feared them for what they could potentially become. With Hiruzen pretty much declaring there is an Uzumaki being harbored in Konoha, and revealing to him that said boy was not only an Uzumaki but the son of Iwagakure's most notorious enemy…
His old allies would surely be afraid of the powerhouse this boy will become in the near future!
Nodding to himself Oonoki got himself two blank sheets of paper and a pen and started to write. Kumogakure and Kirigakure had taken part in eliminating the Uzumaki threat, surely they will do so again.
As for Naruto himself, the boy in question was enjoying the company of both Sakura and HInata, the three of them stark naked and cuddling on one of the mattresses. His girlfriend on one arm, his self-proclaimed bitch on the other, his "slaves" tending to the living quarters and doing their best not to drip all over the place, the blond simply basked in the afterglow of another orgy.
"So," the pinkette muttered, lifting herself up to look at him, "how do you think it's going?"
Hinata couldn't help but shift nervously, knowing full well what she was referring to.
"I'm pretty sure it's going well," Naruto replied, rubbing his bustier lover's back soothingly. He couldn't help but chuckle at the adorable squeak she made, the girl turning bright red and stiffening on contact before melting into his chest. "Lyese-chan's a badass politician and Hiashi-jii-san is on our side, so I've got some good reasons to be confident."
Hinata felt a smile tug at the corner of her mouth upon hearing the honorific Naruto-kun gave her father. Her relationship with the man was… strained for obvious reasons, but she still loved him at the end of the day. He was her father, after all. (3)
After spending many minutes basking in the afterglow herself, Sakura decided that a change of subject was in order, "So… how's that training trip coming along? Is it still in that planning phase?"
"For now, yeah," Naruto replied. "Glissa-chan's still pregnant, after all, so it's not happening for a while."
"D-do you know who's going to be going with you?" Hinata asked. Now that she was getting more and more confident by the day, her stuttering was getting better.
Naruto pursed his lips thoughtfully. "Well, I know for a fact that Kurotsuchi and Ovaria are going to come with. I'm guessing at least some of my bodyguards are as well. I dunno about anyone else, though..."
"Yeah, it's likely too early to say," Sakura muttered. "If I'm not mistaken, Glissa's only three months in… and elves have a longer gestation period, I hear."
"Not by much," Naruto commented. "From what I've heard, we'll be waiting longer for Ovaria."
"I see…" Hinata mused, cheering internally. Another smile tugged at her lips as she started rising up. Her cheeks burning, she straddled her boyfriend and started grinding her mound against his crotch. "Th-that means we'll have… p-plenty of time to… get to know each other…"
Naruto chuckled warmly at that, causing the former heiress to avert her gaze.
Then, Hinata squeaked adorably when his hands went to her hips and lifted her up, her cheeks burning at the realization that her studly boyfriend could do so with ease. And they only started to glow when she felt his tip poking at her entrance with practiced ease, as if he'd done this with her countless times—which they had; only three says into their relationship, the number of romps they'd shared entered the double digits, in fact!
The former heiress let loose an absolutely whorish moan, utterly unbefitting of her previous station as she sank down upon his mighty shaft, her lower lips gorging upon the one-eyed beast and stretching to capacity until she felt his swollen balls pressing against her rear. Then she started rolling her hips, rocking back and forth on top of him enthusiastically.
Naruto laid there and took it with clear enjoyment on his face. As she fucked herself on his already-throbbing cock his eyes slowly trailed down to her jiggling bosom, and he ended up staring at the hypnotic motions. Having her eyes closed by this point, and being so into it, she never noticed where his gaze was. Hinata gasped when she felt Naruto grasping her tits and moaned when his hands gently kneaded, squeezed and rolled her bosom around. Pressing herself further into Naruto's palms, she started riding him faster as the sound of skin slapping against skin sounded through the room.
While that all was happening, Sakura laid on her side and giggled. Content on watching the two go at it as she was still tired from the last orgy… and the pounding she'd received before it… and the one before that… and from waking him up this morning.
Even the pink-haired minx had her limits; though they'd only gone at it four times today, he came inside her no less than ten, and that wasn't even including the clones!
She giggled again and gave her man a peck on the cheek before lying back down to enjoy the show.
And what a show it was… the melodious tune of Hinata's moans combined with the low thump of Naruto's thrusts, building up to a crescendo as the two young lovers approached their shared, explosive climax. And when that came, the blond slammed into his girlfriend with a grunt and shuddered, making Hinata literally squeal at the wave of pleasure that threatened to drive her mad. A wet heat flooded her loins, another legion unknowingly deployed to breach her inner sanctum in vain as his seed had taken root days ago.
Then, Hinata predictably fell on top of her boyfriend in a boneless heap, still conscious, but visibly drunk off of her own orgasm, and basked in the warmth of Naruto's seed pumping into her.
Even after the many times they'd gone at it by now, she simply couldn't help but marvel at the sheer size of his load. No man should be capable of producing so much at all, let alone after so many times in one day!
Kemba-san wasn't kidding when she said she'd created a monster… and Hinata could honestly kiss her for it!
Naruto let loose a deep, guttural moan of relief as his balls emptied themselves once more and soon after HInata's panting ceased, they and Sakura descended into a comfortable silence.
Eventually, though, the pinkette broke it. "Y'know," she said. "I heard Glissa's making something. I don't know what it is, though. She's keeping it secret."
"Nu Garuda-somehting-or-other," the blond grunted. He was still hard and balls deep inside poor Hinata, but he wanted to show her some mercy. "Not sure what it is, but she's got some Neurok helping her out. It's something big, that's all I know." (4)
Sakura quirked an eyebrow. "How big are we talking about?"
"I dunno," Naruto replied. "The clearing she made for it to be built in is pretty huge, though… like, it's about ten times the size of our training ground."
"...so, a large building, then?"
"Maybe…" The blond shrugged again. "Your guess is as good as mine… maybe better."
She was a smart girl, after all…
Sakura hummed thoughtfully. Her best guesses would be a large building or a small complex, but for now, she let it drop. They'd find out eventually, anyway. Then, she saw Naruto's hands go down to Hinata's rear. He bent his knees and started moving inside her once again, causing the poor thing to writhe and gurgle in delight.
The pinkette rolled her eyes and smiled, burying her face into his shoulder while he indulged himself in some former-Hyuuga puss puss.
"You're insatiable," she giggled. Not that she was complaining, of course.
"I still can't help but wonder how he's able to do it so many times a day," Kurotsuchi chimed in as she approached with some snacks.
Of course, he needed fuel like everyone else, as such Naruto's sex life meant he had to eat a lot to keep himself going. But, still… it simply shouldn't be possible for a human to have sex this often! Even with chakra, training, and his many lovers being a factor, Naruto was still human at the end of the day, and humans had limits. Sure, the vitality of the Uzumaki Clan was undoubtedly a factor as well, but that was still not enough to explain it.
"Village secret," Naruto grunted, not skipping a beat as he kept pounding the prone princess on top of him.
"I figured as much." The self-made slave girl shrugged. "That just makes me more curious, though."
She then shuddered pleasantly at the sound of Naruto's deep, satisfied moan as he busted a nut inside Hinata yet again.
"Words cannot describe how tempted I will be to make another baby the instant I can~!" Kurotsuchi mewled.
Hinata let out another squeak as she felt Naruto throb within her.
Needless to say, he wasn't going anywhere for some time.
And while that was going down, a rather grumpy and horny elf shifted uncomfortably right beside Councilwoman Dafri as the two of them were tended to by a handful of healers.
It was just a routine checkup, but, at the same time, Glissa simply didn't want to be here. The same could be said for the Auriok councilwoman, but the checkup was important and thus the two of them put up with it.
Unfortunately, having to stay put was boring. Mindnumbingly boring. And Dafri knew just the thing to help pass the time.
"You know, I can see why many of our people want a piece of Naruto now. He's just…" the Auriok trailed off, unable to put what she wanted to say into words.
"Too good?" Glissa offered, with a wry grin.
"That and… very experienced." Dafri closed her eyes with a smile, "He was taught well."
Glissa rolled her eyes. Being taught well was an understatement. "I blame Kemba for that." if the Leonin didn't set Naruto up to be taught how to please her, she had little doubt that the ones he slept with would have been able to last longer. "But I completely agree with you. He was taught well."
After rumors of his sexual prowess got out many horde mothers wanted him to breed them. As the ambassador of Konoha and Taj Nar, along with technically being Naruto's Guardian, the amount of requests she got for that to happen was… nightmarishly numerous.
And the number of marriage proposals from allied or neutral clan members were piling up as well… The Aburame and Inuzuka Clans were by far the biggest culprits in that, though the occasional, high ranking Nara or Sarutobi did join in here and there. (5)
Hell, there were even some offering a one-night stand!
By this point she was going to need dedicated assistants just to sort through those thrice-damned letters!
"What are the chances the Ancient One will want to be a part of Naruto's growing family?" Dafri asked.
Glissa shrugged. "It's too early to say. Anything's possible, though Atraxa has been showing interest."
Dafri snorted, "Who hasn't nowadays?"
"Yeah…" Glissa sighed, then frowned at one of the healers, "...How much longer is this check up going to take? I have things to do." Not the least of which being a certain brat who knocked her up on his first fucking try!
"Mind if I join you in one of those things in particular?" Dafri quipped, knowing full well what she meant. "I could use some snuggles."
"Knock yourself out," the horny elf grunted.
She probably would, too, given his track record. Glissa envied and pitied his human lovers in all honesty. That pale-eyed pervert in particular has been unable to walk without assistance for the past few days!
It truly was the quiet ones as it turned out…
"Not long," the healer assured, giving her a knowing grin. She could tell that these two just had a case of baby fever. "We just need to make sure you're getting enough minerals."
Huffing, Glissa nodded and let the healers get to it. The sooner they do this the faster she can get back to her husband!
Later that day, after returning to Taj Nar and having her lunch, Lyese reluctantly handed off her baby girl to the leonin nanny while preparing to meet someone as the time for this appointment drew close.
She was greeted with the sight of a familiar face in Bruenna, though the Neurok was accompanied by someone she had only seen in passing.
This woman was incredibly pale with black hair, blue lipstick, and the usual multi-lense goggles worn by many of her kin. She looked to be in her late… twenties? It was hard to tell with humans as they withered so quickly in comparison to elves. In any case, she was not quite young, but not quite past her childbearing years. She was garbed in a revealing, two-piece blue dress with large, gray pauldrons and a matching hood.
"Khanha Lyese," Bruenna greeted with a nod. She then gestured towards the woman. "This is Phinea. She wanted to speak with you."
The woman in question bowed respectfully. "It is a pleasure," she said.
Lyese nodded at her with a polite smile. "Very well then," she began, "what did you want to see me about?"
"A troubling vision," Phinea replied cryptically.
Lyese blinked owlishly before staring at her with skepticism, "A vision, you say?"
"Phinea is a seer," Bruenna explained. "The best one in my village and the reason why most of the Neurok survivors are from there."
Hell, she was possibly the only reason they weren't extinct, given that the Neurok of Lumingrid were wiped out and the remaining tribes were decimated before the war with Memnarch had even begun! (6)
"Ah," said the Khanha in understanding, "I've heard tales of seers but I never met one." she brought her gaze to Phinea, "What vision did you have that requires me to know about?"
"An invasion," she replied. "Three villages are to attack Konoha and Taj Nar. I'm unable to make out the crests of their headbands, but they are distinctly different from one another."
Lyese frowned deeply at that. "Any idea when?"
"I'm sorry, but my power is… fickle," the seer answered, shifting self-consciously. "I only foresaw the Phyrexian invasion three days in advance… yet I knew that the Vedalken would turn on us three years before they did."
Yet another reason why their people were not quite extinct…
Now in full Khanha mode Lyese gave the seer a serious look. "Can you describe the ninja partaking in this invasion in your vision?" If she could describe the people then she could bring this to Sarutobi; they have a former spy as Naruto's slave, so going to her to find out what ninja villages are taking part in this attack is a viable option.
"There are too many of them to count and their faces are difficult to make out," the seer sighed. "However, one army wears a mostly-red uniform. They seem to be the fiercest and most ruthless by far… almost gleefully so. The other two are still quite vicious, however. One sports a mostly brown uniform while the other dons a gray one. I also see Naruto fighting someone in strange clothes with something large on his back. I am… not sure what it is. Its shape is constantly changing for some reason and there's a third combatant, a dark skinned swordswoman in black and white, not much older than Naruto. Which side she's on is uncertain."
Lyese frowned at that. "We shall inform the Hokage of this immediately, then," she declared. "Of course, we shouldn't let him know that we have someone capable of predicting the future among us; we don't know how he'd react to that, but let him know that he should be keeping an eye on any nations whose armies fit that description."
"I'll see to it myself when we're done here, then," Bruenna assured.
Lyese smiled at that, nodding at the Neurok to show her appreciation. Then she asked, "Do you have anything else to report?"
"Nothing that requires your immediate attention, Khanha." Bruenna answered with Phinea shaking her head no.
"Very well, then you two are dismissed."
As the women left, Lyese leaned back in her chair with a deep, thoughtful frown. Despite being here for months there was just so much that they didn't know about this new world and the village they were on track to join… and it made her nervous as all hell. If there was one thing the Khanha had come to hate since the fateful night her parents were butchered by Memnarch, it was a lack of intel.
"All the more reason to be cautious," she muttered to herself. "We'll gather that information eventually."
And with that, she took a deep breath and calmed herself. Indeed, the would if she had anything to say about it...
DMS Notes and Trivia
1: Probably a bit of bias on my part, but I could see it.
2: I mean, that is a very Naruto thing for him to do, lol.
3: ...I could see it.
4: Hmmm... I wonder what that is, lol.
5: The Sarutobi Clan as a concept reeks of a Shippuden asspull in all honesty. You'd think that the fucking Sandaime Hokage's clan would be more prominent in the story if they existed prior to the timeskip. Hell, it wasn't even mentioned in the first volume! Konohamaru was just the Honored Grandson; you'd think that Ebisu would've brought up the rest of his clan if it did exist, if only as a name drop to guilt trip the brat into compliance when he ran off with Naruto. What's next? The Namikaze Clan being "revealed" in Boruto? I wouldn't put it past them.
Please tell me they haven't... ugh...
Mini-rants aside, I find it easy to picture the Aburame and Inuzuka to both be largely quite supportive of Naruto for some reason. The Aburame being cold and logical is a pretty obvious explanation as those in the know would see the danger of Naruto being mistreated while those who are unaware of his burden would see said neglect as pointless. In the Inuzuka clan's case, I see it mostly boiling down to maternal instinct.
6: Phinea is based on the card Fatespinner from the original Mirrodin set, though her dress was slightly altered in light of the conclusions Spy and I came to about the skimpy clothing and five suns. I can't believe I forgot about her... I have two copies, even!
Fortunately, she wouldn't have really added much were she introduced sooner, just some foreshadowing of events here and there and a little more tension on occasion. Still a missed opportunity, but this'll suffice, I suppose, lol.
Her name is a corruption of pineal, as in the pineal gland, which many spiritual traditions believe to have metaphysical properties—association with psychic powers being the most obvious.
Parting Notes: And that is the end of volume one.
I do hope y'all liked it. The ending was still not the best, and very brief, but a marked improvement over Into the Void if nothing else. In any case, the next volume is in the works and I'm definitely going to be looking forward to writing it. Just need to adjust my schedule and make it happen is all.
As for Vulpine Overlord, progress is slowly being made towards that as well. Volume Two is nearly half way ready for me to start posting again, though some added scenes are causing a bit of a delay. Most of the actual story has been written out; it's just that editing has been a bitch, lol. Such is the life of a writer
Until next time, eh? :).
