A/N: I want to point out I started this, story earlier in the Fall than I did with my other crossover: Arashi Uzumaki of the Blue Plague, but still no where in the beginning, so if you want to know what happened in Blue Plague series before the point I used, you got to read the actual books. Just don't let kids read it.
I'm also censoring curse words as it's too many used in more than just saying usual ways that I can't ignore them all. At least with censoring I'm not going against my usual way of avoiding curse wordsof the Blue Plague series Tomas W. Watson, whose wife is Tina Watson. I should also tell you Watson always based a character after himself in his books, and in the Blue Plague series that's Bruce.
Finally, I don't own the Blue Plague series or the Naruto series or it's characters. But I do know the wife of the writer of the Blue Plague series Tomas W. Watson, whose wife is Tina Watson. I should also tell you Watson always based a character after himself in his books, and in the Blue Plague series that's Bruce.
if you see letters with '-' that's me sensoring curse words in case none of you realized that.

Blue Plague's Nine-Tail Fox's Son: The Fall
Ambush Mission and Humiliation
Stephanie woke up upon hearing a hollow thunk-thunk followed by a baby giggling. Struggling to open her eyes, she felt heat on her left side, weight on her legs and abdomen, and something wedged under her right side. Lifting up her head, Stephanie felt something hit her on top of her head, Turning to the source of the assault, she saw PJ sitting between her and Bruce, taking turns hitting them on the head with an empty bottle and laughing.
"Stop that, PJ," Stephanie said, but PJ just hit Bruce again and laughed. Stephanie extended an arm out and took the empty bottle from PJ. Immediately, PJ told her he wanted his drumstick back and Stephanie handed it back to him. She was rewarded with a whack to the head.
"I'm going to throw you on the floor, PJ," Stephanie warned him. PJ didn't care; he dropped the bottle and started clapping.
Stephanie looked down to her belly and saw both twins lying across her. Turning her head, she saw Debbie had burrowed under her right side. Stephanie pulled her body out of the tangle of humanity, crawling out of bed. She reached back, picked up PJ and saw the clock read 0432.
"Come on, I will get you another bottle," Stephanie told PJ, who laid his head on her shoulder, making her smile.
Heading to the door, Stephanie's body felt like she had run a triathlon She realized she hurt in places she never knew existed as she walked downstairs into the kitchen. The ladies were already starting breakfast when she walked in holding PJ.
"That was nice of ya to get PJ so Bruce and Debbie could get some sleep," Millie told Stephanie, handing her a bottle for PJ.
"Didn't have much of a choice, he was assaulting everyone with an empty bottle," Stephanie replied, taking the bottle and notice a few areas were set.
"Naruto, Moegi, Udon, Konohamaru, Sakura, Temari, Sai, and Yamato will be in soon from their morning training." Lynn explained.
"You saw them leave?" Stephanie asked.
"Don't have to. Naruto normally up before us to train and his fellow ninja friends been doing the same since they got here," Lynn explained. "Then they head up to take a shower then come down to eat."
Stephanie knew Naruto been waking up early to train from reports from those with night guard duty, but this is the first time she was awake before they came back in. She put the bottle in PJ's mouth. PJ started gulping down the bottle.
"Don't let him fill up on tha bottle Stephanie. Here's some foods you can feed him," Lynn told her, putting a plate on the counter. Stephanie took the bottle out of PJ's mouth, set it on the counter and handed him a biscuit.
"Stephanie, you hafta break it up first," Millie told her, grabbing the biscuit from PJ. "Did ya change him yet?"
"No, am I supposed to? He's a boy," Stephanie pointed out.
Millie laughed. "Yes baby, it's okay. Let me gets some stuff for us and I'll show you how." Millie left and returned with supplies. She took PJ from Stephanie and he immediately started crying upon having his meal interrupted. She laid him on the table. Stephanie grabbed the bottle and shoved it in his mouth to make him shut up. This made Millie laugh. "It's okay for him to be crying," Millie told her.
"Not with the way my head feels," Stephanie told Millie as she learned how to change a diaper. "Is that normal? Feces is not supposed to look and smell like that," Stephanie said, leaning back, wrinkling her nose.
"That's what I ask Susan when she changed Joshua during our trip here," a voice said causing Stephanie to jumped.
She turned to see it was Naruto as he and his friends came in obviously from their early training. PJ squealed with delight seeing Naruto.
"It's just baby poop," Millie responded.
"That's what Susan said too, but it doesn't make the smell any better," Naruto said. "Trust me Stephanie, be lucky you don't have super sense of smell."
"I'll take your word for it," Stephanie said.
"Have you been around babies before Stephanie?" Sakura asked.
"No, but I read some books and they said nothing about nuclear waste coming out of their rectum," Stephanie said.
Naruto and Sakura groaned hearing that.
"What?" Stephanie asked.
"Sorry, you just sounded like Sai," Naruto said.
"Sai based emotions personality and friendship on books he read since he was brought up and trained not to show emotions or make friends." Sakura said.
Stephanie understood as she read psychological books about people being raised like that but decided not to bring it up.
Stephanie took the bottle from PJ and tried to feed him spoonful of eggs.
"Let me help you out," Sakura offered as Naruto headed up. Fortunately as part of her medical training Tsunade had her learn to work with children toddlers and babies as a medical ninja never know what who they need to treat on the field. Sakura took the spoon and mashed up the biscuit, grits, and eggs together. Then, putting a little bit of food on the spoon Sakura handed it to Stephanie.
"That's disgusting, Sakura," Stephanie told her, taking the spoon and raising it to PJ's mouth. PJ opened his mouth and emptied the spoon. Stephanie gave a shudder. "Your food selections should remain separate from each other and only be mixed together in your stomach."
"Stephanie, that takes too long and babies tend to have short attention span. If you want to make sure they get all their nutrients you got to feed them this way," Sakura explained.
Lynn and Millie decided to go back to kitchen duty since Sakura seem to have everything under control.
Stephanie took the spoon and continued to shovel the food into PJ's mouth. PJ cooperated some but in ten minutes they were both covered in mashed up food.
"That's why you need to make sure they eat their food mashed together," Sakura stated.
Mike and Nancy came in wearing workout clothes and carrying their vests and weapons. Nancy looked at Stephanie feeding PJ and noticed her wearing Bruce's t-shirt and boxers.
"About time you joined this family. Bruce's boxers make great pajama bottoms," Nancy told her.
Mike looked at Nancy. "You could wear my briefs, baby."
"I wear your t-shirts but your briefs cut into me," Nancy told him, making Mike laughed.
"I think I'm fixing to start wearing Bruce's boxers too," Mike replied.
"MIke, I have tried to get you to wear boxers for the last seven years. I would feel better about wearing my own husband's underwear but a girl has to stay comfortable," Nancy replied, grabbing a cup of coffee and heading to the back door to the gym.
Stephanie stopped Nancy as she started to open the door. "Nancy, I think something is wrong with PJ."
Sakura shook her head as Nancy spun around, throwing her gear on the table and moving quickly to Stephanie. "What's wrong with PJ?" Nancy asked, feeling over his body, not noticing Sakura's reaction.
"I think he has gastrointestinal malformation. Feces should not look or smell like that coming out of a human. We need to run some tests on him," Stephanie told her in a serious voice.
Stephanie laughed and began picking food out of Stephanie's hair. "I've looked PJ over and he's fine. Those are normal bowel movements for an infant." Stephanie just looked at Nancy as she grabbed her stuff and headed to the gym.
Stephanie continued the feeding process as Sakura ate breakfast, deciding to shower after she was done. Those in the den and hallway woke up and headed to the gym for morning workouts. Bruce and Debbie came into the kitchen and were greeted with the sight of Stephanie trying to feed PJ. Bruce walked over to get PJ from Stephanie but PJ refused to come to him unless it was Debbie holding him.
"That does it, you sleep with the goats tonight, buddy," Bruce threatened. PJ just laid his head on Stephanie's shoulder for protection from the mean man.
Stephanie snapped at Bruce, "Bruce, you leave him alone or I will let him beat you to death with his bottle tomorrow." Bruce took a step back as PJ laughed and hugged Stephanie.
Bruce grabbed his stuff and walked out, afraid to say anything. Debbie started laughing. "That was good, Stephanie. Give PJ to me so you can go get clean up."
"No, I'll feed the twins; you go and work out. I will work out after breakfast," Stephanie told her.
Debbie walked over and hugged her and PJ. "I knew you were right for this. We'll rotate every morning on who gets up with the kids, okay? I never heard PJ or I would've gotten up."
"I heard him beating Bruce with the bottle and when I told him to stop he popped me," Stephanie admitted.
"When he does that to you, Stephanie, you need to pop his hand," Debbie told her.
"He's just a baby," Stephanie replied, in shock.
"A baby who was told to stop and hit you for telling him to stop. Babies have to learn to listen. I did not say hit him hard, just take his bottle away and lightly pop his hand. If that doesn't work, put him on the floor and let him cry so he knows he did something bad. He will get bigger, Stephanie, and he has to learn to listen to what we tell him."
"Does he stop when Bruce tells him to?" Stephanie asked.
"When Bruce uses his Daddy voice, he does. I have to pop his hand. In all fairness, when Bruce uses his Daddy voice toward the kids, I almost do what he says. Don't tell him that though. That doesn't work for Mamas unless we get mad," Debbie told her as the twins walked in and sat down at the table.
"Okay I will. Now go, I can take care of this," Stephanie said as she grabbed the plates for the twins. Debbie grabbed her weapon and vest and headed off to the gym.
At 0610, Bruce walked back in and saw Stephanie at the table with the kids. Sakura assisted now and then with PJ, but she mostly let Stephanie handle the twins since they were more cooperative. Bruce leaned over, kissing the twins then Stephanie and PJ on the head. Then Bruce walked into Mission Control to find Mike looking at the large monitor that was hooked up for the UAVs. He could see the hunting team on top of the house with infected several hundred yards away in the woods surrounding the house.
"What the h- is going on now?" Bruce asked.
Mike looked at Bruce. "The team leader said they'd killed about a thousand then the blues started hanging back. They have tried attacking from different directions at different times looking for a weakness. The team reported another fifty to sixty kills during each attack, but now the blues are just hanging around the perimeter in the woods," Mike told him.
"S-, the blues are putting them under siege. There have to be a couple of hundred around the perimeter," Bruce said in disgust.
"It's worse. The blues are calling for reinforcements. Look," Mike told Bruce as the UAV operator panned out with the camera. Several small groups of blues were moving in to join the siege.
"We can use that for later, letting them call more to us, but for right now the hunt team only has enough food for two more days." Bruce told Mike as he closed his eyes to think of a plan.
"We could send in Naruto to supply them with more food," Mike offered.
"But the blues can call in more help as we wait," Bruce said.
"Let's just go in, get the team, and lay out an ambush," Mike offered.
"Won't work, the blues will be able to spread out and could outflanked the ambush team. How many do you think will be there by 0900?" Bruce asked.
"With what's there now and with the rate the others are joining, I'd guess about five, maybe six hundred," Mike answered.
"That's manageable. Get dressed, I'll lay out my plan at breakfast," Bruce told him while opening a filing cabinet and grabbing a ziplock bag. Then he headed upstairs.
Bruce jumped into the shower, washing and shaving quickly then got out to dry off. He was standing in front of the shower drying off as Stephanie walked in leading the twins and holding PJ. Stephanie looked up and gasped, taking a step back.
"Sorry Bruce, I was just fixing to get the kids cleaned up," Stephanie replied, looking down at the floor. Bruce never stopped drying off.
"Well go ahead, Stephanie, don't mind me," Bruce told her, grabbing his boxers off the counter before walking out the bathroom.
Bruce put on his underwear as he headed to the closet. Throwing clothes on the bed, Bruce heard the sink in the bathroom come on. Bruce stopped and looked toward the open bathroom door as Debbie walked in. Debbie, seeing Bruce looking at the bathroom, asked, "What?"
"The sink is on," Bruce told her.
"Well you're a big boy now, you can turn it off all by yourself," Debbie told him.
Bruce headed to the bathroom, replying, "I think Stephanie is trying to wash the twins and PJ in the sink."
"She wouldn't do that. The twins are four years old," Debbie replied, following him.
When they reached the bathroom, Stephanie was washing the twins off with a rag. They still had their sleeping t-shirts on. Stephanie was washing only expose skin, nothing that was covered up by clothes.
Bruce spoke first. "Why aren't you putting them in the shower, Stephanie?"
"They can take a shower?" Stephanie asked with relief.
"Yeah, with you helping 'em," Bruce told her.
"I'll get my clothes wet," Stephanie replied.
"Then take them off or hang them up to dry out," Bruce told her.
Debbie started pushing Bruce back. "Go get dressed, I'll meet you downstairs." Debbie pushed Bruce out and kicked off her shoes as she closed the door. Debbie stripped down as Stephanie watched, turning the twins around. Debbie walked over and started stripping the girls before looking at Stephanie.
"What?" Debbie asked.
"Debbie, you're naked in front of the kids," Stephanie told her.
"Stephanie, you've seen me naked before," Debbie told her.
"I'm a woman, though," Stephanie told her.
"Stephanie, these are our kids. We're not perverts, so what's the big deal? Didn't you take a shower with your mama or your brother?" Debbie asked as she striped PJ.
"I never taken a shower or a bath with anyone in my entire life," Stephanie admitted.
Debbie stared at her in disbelief then she said, "Arms up," as she grabbed Stephanie's shirt, pulling it over her head. "You sleep in a bra?" Debbie asked, not believing her eyes.
"Yeah, don't you?" Stephanie replied.
"Stephanie, I only own two bras to wear with dresses. I only wear sports bras. I would love to meet the a- that invented the d- things so I could beat the s- out of 'im. Now take it off, we don't have a lot of time," Debbie said as she grabbed the boxers and panties Stephanie was wearing and pulled them down. Stephanie covered herself as Debbie moved to the shower and turned on the water.
Stephanie took off her bra, covering her breast with one arm. The other was covering her crotch as Debbie turned to tell the girls to get in. "Stephanie, quit being modest. You're a doctor after all, and now you are also a mom. Now get PJ," Debbie said as she ushered the twins into the shower.
Stephanie watched how Debbie was acting and reached down, grabbing PJ and stepping into the shower. Debbie showed her how to wash the kids in an assembly line fashion, making sure to keep soap out of their eyes. In twenty minutes everyone was showered and drying off in the bathroom. They dressed the girls and PJ then themselves and headed to the kitchen.
Bruce saw them coming and stood up and called for attention. "Okay, everyone, it's 0700 and we have a lot to do. The hunt team is surrounded and the blues have them under siege now. Danny, Matt, Jake, Steve, Mary, David, Debbie, Nancy, and Naruto, we're going to wipe out the blues around them. Mike, you'll run the operation from here. THe reason all of you are coming is that all of you except for Naruto, have hunted on horses before. Naruto, you're coming because you can follow by air and attack from the trees if needed. I want ammo, water, and one meal only. I want everyone to have at least thirty extra magazines in saddle bags and another bag to drop empty magazines into your saddle. Buffy, you will ride with me."
"We are going to attack the edges with hit and run, then pull back and engage at a distance. Team one will be me Danny, David, and Jake. Debbie, you have the rest of team two except for Naruto as he be in the air. Steve, I want you to carry a SAW for team two and I will carry one for team one. We'll be moving all day on horseback so be ready. Work will continue here. Conner, you'll get people to man the two Strykers and the Beast for back up and extraction of the hunt team. MIke has overall command from Mission Control. Question?" Bruce finished.
Naruto raised his hand. "Why not have Captain Yamato Sai and Temari come with me?"
"Naruto, unless they can fly they can't come unless they are ready to ride. Everyone here has thousands of hours of horseback, plus they've all hunted from horseback. We'll be moving fast and the horses will be jumping. I rather keep everyone in one piece."
"I understand that, Bruce, but Sai can summon ink birds big enough to carry everyone," Naruto explained. "We can follow the sky on them and attack from the trees when landed."
Bruce thought of it and had to admit that was a good idea. "Okay, they can come if they can attack from distance.
Conner raised his hand next.
"Sorry Conner, but you can't come. Only reason I'm agreeing with Naruto is his friends can stand on a tree trunk using chakra," Bruce said.
Conner lowered his hand in understanding.
"Sakura, I want you wait back with Conner's team," Naruto suggested.
"Right," Sakura agreed.
Bill then asked from the den, "Why not just go and get the team with the vehicles?"
"The blues will follow us back. The blues are calling other blues to the site like they're bringing in reinforcements. I don't want them to follow us back here. Then we would have to go into the woods on foot to wipe them out. In close proximity and in numbers they have the edge, brute force. We have to fight on our terms, unless we have no alternative," Bruce replied, waiting on other questions. When none came he continued, "Mike, I want you to get four people plus Bill to act as a defense team here on the farm. Everything else moves forward, people, we have to get this place ready. Now teams will meet at the barn at 0800. Get your gear and let's go hunting," Bruce told everyone, then leaned over Stephanie, pulling out the plastic bag with several flash drives.
"Stephanie, I need you to go over this for me. It's about how to refine oil and a schematic for a small scale refinery. See if I'm at least close with what I have, okay. Will you do that for me?" Bruce asked her.
"You know I will, Bruce. You don't even have to ask, just tell me what you want me to do," Stephanie told him, taking the plastic bag away from PJ. Bruce kissed her on the cheek and headed to the basement to grab two SAWs for him and Steve. He wasn't worried about Naruto's team. Those not going out on patrol went to work as the teams went to grab gear and ammo.
Bruce met the teams and found someone had already pulled the horses to the barn. Not only that, but there were four white birds with black markings that he guess were part of Sai's technique.
Buffy was just looking up at his horse Nightmare with wide eyes. Nightmare was looking at Buffy waiting for her to do something, like give him a treat. Nightmare lowered his head to smell Buffy to see if he could find the treats. Bruce walked up to Buffy and Nightmare.
"He is looking for treats," Bruce told Buffy, handing her a carrot. Buffy held the carrot in the palm of her hand like she was taught and Nightmare ate it in one bite. Buffy reached up and petted his head while he chewed the carrot.
Bruce walked over to Steve, giving him one of the SAW's and a thousand rounds. "Only use it when they attack in groups and take out their legs," Bruce told him.
"I got it Dad," Steve said as he put on his saddle. Then he turned to Bruce saying, "Who would have dreamed we would be using assault weapons from horsebacks with super powered ninjas covering us from the air and trees."
"Not me," Bruce admitted as he went to saddle Nightmare.
When Bruce finished, he turned to Buffy. "We'll put your M-4 in the saddle holster. Keep your P90 across your chest. You'll be riding Nightmare and he's not like the horse you ridden. He is gentle but wants to play a lot so hold the reins tight. I'm tying you to me with the belt so you won't fall off," Bruce told Buffy as he lifted her onto the saddle giving her the reins. Buffy just nodded at him.
Naruto and his friends coming with them mounted their birds as everyone else mounted their hoses. Once everyone was mounted, Bruce climbed into his saddle and put a belt through the back of her vest and through the front of his. Bruce had his SCAR on his right side with the SAW across his back.
"Let's go," Bruce said as he squeezed his legs and Buffy steered Nightmare to the front gate. Naruto's team took the air following them. When they were on the road, Bruce radioed Mike.
"Which side has the fewest?" Bruce asked.
"The east side," Mike called back.
"Call the hunt team and tell them they are not to shoot toward the east at all," Bruce told him.
"Already did that. I told the team leader I would call out directions he could not shoot in. Who do you think you left in charge?" Mike snapped back.
"Sorry, boss," Bruce called back as he kicked Nightmare into a trot.
Naruto and his friends soar above, following Bruce, but only Naruto could hear Bruce without a radio-although only one sided. From what Naruto guessed, Bruce upsetted Mike or something. His concentration was broken when he heard roars ahead of them before the rest of the group. Naruto keyed the radio he brought on him. It wasn't until they were miles away the rest of the group can hear it. When Bruce's team stopped Sai's birds circled around him before Bruce continued they followed him to the fields, taking dirt roads and logging trails. It was when they reached the fields Bruce called everyone close and told Sai to land his birds.
"Alright, I'm going to stir up trouble. Team two, form a firing line here directly across from the tree line and mow them down when they come out. This fields about a hundred and fifty yards across and two miles long, just watch your flanks. Yamato and Sai I want you two assist them here. Naruto and Temari, I know I told you two I want you in the trees, but I want you to assist us in the field with your jutsus. This way you'll be covering team one as they will form up to the north side of the field. This'll put us on the ground in L-Shape ambush. Once the blues get within twenty yards, we head north to the cross road and will set up again. Let me tell all of y'all, if you fall off your horse you'll probably die. If you fall, call out fast. The closest person is to grab you and back off. If that happens, Naruto, I want you to use that technique you use to save Mike's team."
Naruto nodded knowing which move Bruce was talking about.
"After that we leave then head back to the farm and I'll call out the backup force. Please don't shoot me when I come out. I will not be able to get Nightmare to run in the woods but we'll be able to gallop. The horses move faster in the woods than the blues can. Once I hit the field, I'm heading to my team. Team two, its your job to keep my a- clear until I join my team," Bruce told them.
They all said they understood and Bruce headed to the tree line on the other side of the field as Mike came over the radio. "Bruce, the trees there have a large canopy. We're only catching glimpse of the blues. I won't be able to tell you how close you are."
"We're good. Just don't let the blues circle the ambush site," Bruce said, reaching the far fence then kicked Nightmare into a run. As they reached the fence, Bruce squeezed his knees, telling Nightmare to jump.
Nightmare leaped into the air, clearing the fence and landing on the other side, Buffy pulled back on the reins, slowing him down. Nightmare shook his head, snorting about having to stop. Bruce leaned forward to whisper to Buffy.
"That was good, BB. Now wrap the reins around your wrist. If we need to jump something, yell at me so I can signal Nightmare to jump. WHen we find the blues, we are going to have to move fast. Watch the ground for holes and logs. If we lose our ride, we can't climb a tree that fast nor like Naruto. When we find them turn Nightmare around. Don't wait for me to tell you, I'm liable to be busy. Try to take the path out that we take in," Bruce told her.
Buffy looked back wrapping the reins around her wrist and said, Don't worry Daddy, I got this."
Naruto's team fly above as the group reached the tree. Yamato and Sai soared down into the trees to help team two out. Naruto could hear gunfire from below. Trees started shifting around which Naruto guess was Yamato using wood style jutsus.
"Great, sounds like the fun already started," Naruto said.
Just as they reached the field Bruce's horse was galloping at full speed and leaped over the barbed wire around the field. Bruce looked like he was trying to adjust something in his Horse's mouth as blues chased after him.
"Temari," Naruto said.
"Right!" Temari took out her fan and opened it, "Wind Style: Wind Scythe jutsu!"
She waved it and summoned a twister of slicing wind that sucked up the blues.
Naruto made a series of hand signs for a water style jutsu Yamato taught him.
"Water Style: Surging Sea!" Naruto channeled chakra into his stomach and blew a surge of water into the twister.
The water fuse with the twister forming a combination of water and wind. Then Naruto made a series of hand signs, "Lightning Style: Thunderclap Arrow!" Naruto threw a bolt of lightning into the water fuse twister electrocuting any blues caught in the twister.
Meanwhile Bruce manage to yank the reins, pulling the bit that came out of his horse's teeth-which is the cause of him going out of control-out, making him slow down. Buffy turned to their team now that she had control again. Bruce turned around in the saddle, expecting blues to be jumping the fence. Instead he saw a water and lightning infuse twister sucking up and electrocuting blues. There were still blues coming at them but not as bad as it was in the woods.
Good thing they can make that twister stationary, Bruce thought as he wouldn't want to be caught in that jutsu.
Halfway across the field, Bruce heard team two open up. Buffy lead Nightmare to the end of the line their team had formed and spun the horse around. They were turning around when the rest of his team open up on the remaining blues.
Once Bruce was facing the field he was reminded of the World War One movies of troops running at the machine gun nest. The field was covered with blues running at both lines and the twister. He raised his rifle up switching to burst and started working with those flying at the ground.
Felling his bolt lock, Bruce just dropped the magazine, ramming in another one. Lining up the sight, he started squeezing off burst. He yelled for Buffy to call over the radio to tell everyone not to worry about keeping the empty magazine now, but he wasn't sure she could hear him over the twister. Bruce dropped another magazine, replaced it and raised the rifle up. The blues had a hard time grouping together as the twister kept them separated. It didn't matter to Bruce as he kept dropping magazines until there were no more targets and the water infused twister died down, sending water raining down. Jake in the middle of the line was still shooting the wounded blues in the field.
Unbuckling from Buffy, Bruce dropped to the ground picking up magazines, which were more than he expected but not as many as some might have thought. Bruce put them in his bag and moved to each person and did the same for them as Mike came over the radio.
"You have really p- 'em off now. The south and west groups are attacking the hunting team, but the north side is coming for you. The front edge will be to you in a few minutes. It's at least double what you just took out," Mike told him.
"Will they come out in the same area?" Bruce asked as he finished picking up the last of the magazines.
"No, this group will come out even with your group," Mike said as Bruce jumped back behind Buffy, buckling her to him.
"Sai, Yamato, join up with Naruto and Temari. Team two, swing down in a slanted firing line. We'll just reverse the L," Bruce told the group.
Bruce dropped big SCAR, letting it hang by its sling as he [pull the SAW off his back. He grabbed another two hundred round belt box and sat it in front of Buffy. Buffy turned around, undoing the belt, looking at Bruce. "Let me get behind you, Daddy. I'm going to sit looking backwards so they can't come behind us."
Before Bruce could answer, Buffy was sliding around behind him, feeding the belt through the back of his vest, attaching herself to him. Bruce just grabbed the reins as Mike called out the distance over the radio. Then he yelled ten seconds.
Bruce looked at the tree line to see blues jumping the fence in a dead run.
Temari started up another twister, but this time Yamato use water style jutsu on the twister as Naruto flew around, taking out his gun and fusing wind chakra into it and firing wind enhance bullets at any flying blues.
Bruce raised the SAW and fired at any blues hitting the ground. Any time the bolt slam forward, Bruce opened the feed tray, pulled the bolt back and placed in another two hundred round belt and slammed the cover down.
Temari and Yamato moved to team two and created another water fuse twister as Naruto continue backing up Bruce.
Bruce felt Buffy moving behind him and he yelled, "Are there any more coming from behind?"
"No!" she yelled back, still moving.
"Be still, you're throwing off my aim!" Bruce yelled at her.
"I'm getting a real gun, d- it, screw this little one!" Buffy yelled out, trying to pull out her M-4 from the scabbard on the saddle.
Bruce reached down, undoing the weapon for her, and Buffy pulled it out. Letting her P90 hang from its sling, Buffy raised her M-4 up, looking for targets.
Mike called over the radio, "More coming from behind you, looks like about twenty."
Bruce hit the voice switch and opened up on the blues in the field." "Thanks for the hot tip. How did ya miss those?" Bruce asked, taking out runners as they flew to the ground.
Mike did not reply back as Bruce put another belt in the SAW and started firing again. Behind him Bruce could hear Buffy yelling at the blues coming out of the tree line behind them. Temari and Yamato came around again with another water fuse twister.
Then a Rasen-Shuriken few through the sky and hit the center of the field and expanded, killing off any blues that was in its range.
"D- it Naruto! Those b- are mine!" Buffy shouted.
"Sorry Buffy, but Temari and Yamato are running low on chakra," Naruto said apologized. "Not all ninjas have my chakra reserves."
Bruce closed his feed cover and saw smoke was pouring off the barrel. He lowered the SAW, setting it across the saddle so it would not touch the horse or him. He lifted big SCAR to his shoulder but did not see anything coming toward them. It seemed the last took care of the rest. He looked down at the SAW and the suppressor was a dull cherry red. Bruce held his hand over it and he could feel the heat through his tactical gloves. Reaching into his thigh pocket, Bruce pulled out a barrel mitten. Putting it over his glove he unscrewed the suppressor, letting it fall to the ground. The suppressor was aluminum and he didn't want it fusing to the barrel. That will teach me to make aluminum suppressors, trying to save weight, Bruce thought.
"Steve if you used the SAW a lot, take off the suppressor and drop it," Bruce told Steve over the radio as he heard Buffy yell out from behind him.
"Your mama likes it like that, butt munchers!" Buffy yelled.
Bruce laughed. "Danny, gather any magazines you dropped. Then he looked over at Buffy and asked. "Where you hear that from, Buffy?"
"From you," Buffy replied, changing magazines.
"When did I say that?" Bruce asked changing barrels on his SAW.
"Just a few minutes ago," she replied.
"Buffy, I was shootin' not yelling," Bruce told her.
Mike came over the radio, "Like h-, I had to ask some people to leave Mission Control with the words you were using. It'd no sooner come out of your mouth then she was repeating it."
Debbie spoke up next, "He's right Bruce, I didn't hear everything because I was yelling and that twister was loud."
"Hey, you want us to back you up," Naruto responded.
Bruce turned the voice switch off and keyed his radio. "Team two, come down here. Jake and Nancy, head out into the field and take out any still moving. We need to reload the magazines." Bruce told Buffy to turn off her voice switch.
He and Buffy climbed off and started loading magazines. When the others came over, they all got off and joined. Even those on inmk birds landed to help out. Soon they were all mounted back up and went to help Nancy and Jake. In the direction of the hunt team they heard an explosion followed by another.
"What's happening over there?" Bruce asked Mike.
"They had several get real close and used hand grenades to take them out. The blues are pulling back," MIke reported.
"Keep an eye on 'em, I want to know where they go," Bruce said, heading out into the field shooting surviving blues.
"Hey, let me shoot some," Buffy complained from behind him.
Bruce complied, leading the horse past some that were trying to crawl off. Naruto and Temari used wind enhanced bullet jutsu to fire on crawling blues. Temari had quickly took up the jutsu as it helped she was experience wind style ninja and it didn't take as much chakra. After cleaning the field, Bruce told everyone to meet him in the middle of the field. Bruce told Buffy to unbuckle and get off. Then Bruce slid off, stomping his feet and rubbing his butt. Bruce looked up as Jake rode over and climbed off.
Bruce smiled as he looked at his son's face. He was on the wave. Jake had a small grin on his face. Snipers could ride the wave as few others could. They very rarely faced the anger and guilt with the way they detached themselves so they could shoot. Bruce always envied them that and they could ride the wave longer than anyone. Bruce walked over to him.
"It's good, isn't it?" Bruce asked Jake. Jake just looked at him, not understanding. "You're on the wave, son," Bruce told him.
Jake nodded and his grin broadened. "This is great, Dad. From the back of a horse I took out sixty four with seventy shots. My weapon felt like it was part of me." Jake looked around as if he was seeing the world for the first time. "How long does it last?"
"For snipers it lasts a long time. Just don't let it take control of you. Drink some water, we're going to get some more," Bruce told him.
Buffy walked up to Jake. "Ride the wave hard, bubba," she told him and held up her fist for a knuckle bump.
Jake just looked at Buffy as Bruce told him. "She has ridden the wave too, son, and so has your mom."
Jake bumped knuckles with Buffy. "Cool."
Bruce headed over to Debbie, who was drinking water. She looked up as he walked over. "Bruce, this is b-. It was right there," Debbie said in a p- off voice.
"Don't force it, baby. When you feel the tingling in your spine, quit yelling and just let it go. THat being said, remember the rules," Bruce told her.
"Quit yelling. I thought that's what you were doing, working yourself into the wave," Debbie said.
"No baby, I was yelling so I wouldn't go into the wave. I didn't need it. YOu're too drained once it leaves and these were not worth the effort," Bruce told her.
"Yeah, I guess you're right," Debbie admitted, taking another drink of water.
"You could've told me that, Daddy," Buffy said from his side.
"This was not worth it, Buffy," Bruce told her.
"When I start to tingle, I"m not scared anymore," Buffy admitted as Debbie came over to stand beside her.
"Yelling almost does the same thing, Buffy. Sometimes you want to feel fear to remind you to be careful," Bruce told her. Buffy just sighed and took the bottle Debbie handed her, taking a drink.
"Temari and Captain Yamato took some chakra pills in case we need to move again," Naruto said. "Do you guys need one?"
"No, Naruto. We're good." Bruce said before looking at Debbie. "Jake is on the wave now."
"What? Why aren't you over there guiding him?" Debbie asked.
"Baby, he's a sniper. Snipers are breed unto themselves. They face only one problem, they want to be alone. We can handle that easy enough," Bruce said.
"He's alone now. Call him over here," Debbie told Bruce.
"He's in the field, baby. Leave him alone. When we get back home is when you have to be near him. He's riding the wave but not like I ever have. A sniper can throw themselves on the wave at will and stay there for days. I've talked to several and they've all told me the same thing. The longest I've managed is fourteen hours and I slept for twenty afterwards. Unless you sacrifice part of yourself, then you can ride a long time. Snipers don't have to," Bruce told her, looking around him, seeing everyone standing around listening.
"Dang! I wish I can do that," Naruto said.
"I want to learn to be a sniper," Debbie told him.
"Baby, you can learn to be a sniper but you can't learn to 'become' a sniper. That's something you are born with or without. I've been trained as a sniper and can hit targets at a mile, but I don't have the mindset of a sniper," Bruce told Debbie. Mary, who was standing close to them and had heard the discussion, turned to look at Jake with worry on her face.
Mary started to walk to Jake who was standing off from the group. Bruce grabbed her arm. "Not now, Mary. Never in the field, okay. Leave him alone until we get back. Give him a few hours then you can talk to him. Do you understand?" Bruce asked.
Mary just looked at Bruce and then alarm spread across her face. WIthout moving her face, she cut her eyes toward the mamas as Bruce spoke to her. "It's okay, Mary, you're just worried about your teammate." Mary looked at Bruce. Staring into his face, her heart skipped a beat. He knew.
Thought started racing through her mind to try to cover for them. Bruce just looked down at her and said, "Mary, I've not let Danny or his mama go to him, so neither can you."
Mary let out a long breath and hugged Bruce. Bruce was going to cover for her. Tonight she and Jake had to have a long talk, Mary thought. She turned and went to her horse, getting a bottle of water.
Nancy watched the exchange and as Mary grabbed some water asked her. "What's wrong, Mary?"
Mary just shrugged her shoulders as Bruce spoke up. "Just training my troops, Nancy. I know we're family but we have to remember we're also a team in combat."
Nancy walked over to Mary and hugged her, telling her Jake would be okay. Naruto wasn't fooled though. He can tell something was between Jake and Mary. Sai seem to notice something too as he was about to speak up but Naruto shoved an elbow into his side. "Shut it, Sai. They don't need one of your book knowledge."
Bruce called everyone over as he took out his map and called Mike over the radio. "Base, where are the party guests, and how many do we have?" Bruce asked.
"The guests have stopped five miles to the southwest of the house," Mike reported then called out the grid coordinates. "The group is sixty-three strong. I had to send out the home defense team. The second micro spy plane found a group of seventeen to the north east, only two miles from the farm. Sent them in my truck. The hostels tried to chase it down and were taken out by those in the back.
Bruce found where the group of blues had run to on the map. It was a small group of trees in the middle of a field smaller than a hundred and fifty by two hundred yards. They would hit them there if they stayed. "In one hour come and get the hunting team; we're going after the party poopers. We'll be using our sky team to watch out so they can recover," Bruce told him as he looked at the group.
"We are going to attack the a-. We're going to charge them and wipe them out. I want everyone who has one to load up the beta bags," Bruce told them. The beta mags were a hundred and twenty round magazines for the M-4s and SCARS. They did fit the AUGS that Debbie and Nancy carried but you couldn't aim the AUG for s- with them on. The beta did not fit the Galil that Danny carried. "Naruto, you and your pals will be acting as our eyes on the sky and make sure no one comes from behind. Except for you Yamato. I got a plan for you"
The group mounted up and took off at a strong trot. In twenty minutes they were in the field and waited for Naruto to confirm that the blues were still there. WHile they waited, they watered the horses and tightened the saddles until Naruto called in saying they have company.
"We're a half a mile from them now. We are going to charge them, moving through the little stand of trees and wiping them out. Stay in line, don't charge forward alone. I'm center and Debbie and Nancy will be on the ends. Let's see if we can scare them," Bruce said.
Everyone mounted and when Bruce got a thumbs up from all he kicked Nightmare into a run. They looked like knights as they entered the field. INstead of lowering lances, they lowered assault rifles. The blues saw them at a hundred yards from the trees. A group of eleven charged the patrol as the rest ran out the other side of the stand of trees , trying to make it to the woods a hundred plus yards away.
The patrol cut the attacking runners down before they even got close. They rode through the stand of trees. Yamato landed on a tree and made a series of hand signs. Twigs popped up and tangled around any blues trying to escape, making it easier for patrol to cut down.
Bruce stopped and looked down at a blue. It was a nude female in her early twenties. He shot her in the head again, then unbuckled from Buffy. Climbing dow off his horse, Bruce walked over to the female blue. Nightmare did not want to come closer but Bruce yanked his reins, pulling him over. Bruce kneeled by the body and studied it then stood up, calling Debbie over as Buffy jumped off Nightmare.
Debbie rode over to him as did everyone else. "Get off and look at this one and tell me what you see?" Bruce requested.
Debbie got off, handed Bruce the reins of her horse, and looked at the body. She reached in her pocket, pulling out nylon gloves, taking off her tactical gloves and putting them on. Kneeling down, Debbie examined the body. "At one time she was pretty before she was infected. I think she was in her early twenties-" Debbie stopped as she looked at the breasts then felt the abdomen.
"Oh s-!" Debbie exclaimed.
"THat's what I thought," Bruce said.
"What's going on?" Naruto asked as he landed on a tree after jumping off his bird.
"She's pregnant," Debbie said.
"Dang," Naruto responded.
"Stephanie said they'd be able to reproduce," Nancy said.
"Nancy, hearing it and seeing it are two totally different things," Bruce told her. "Mount up, we are headed home," Bruce called and walked over to Jake.
Bruce stopped beside Jake's horse and handed him the map, "Take us home, you're in charge; I'm in the rear," Bruce told him.
Jake looked at the map. "I really don't want to, Dad."
"I didn't ask, son. I need to think some things over, now take us home," Bruce told him.
"Just think of it as a training experience, Jake," Naruto spoke over the radio. "To help you focus on your duty when you're on the wave."
Bruce didn't question Naruto how he heard that since Naruto had super sense of hearing. Besides it seems to work as Jake was more eager to lead them now.
Buffy walked over to Bruce. "Daddy, when will I get boobies?" she asked.
"Buffy, you are to never ask Daddy about your boobies again, ever," Bruce snapped as he climbed into the saddle.
Debbie ran over to Buffy and whispered, "You don't ask Daddy about that ever. We will talk about it later. Daddy tries to always remember you as a little girl. WHen Danny got her first bra, Daddy wanted to blow up J.C. Penny's." Debbie helped Buffy up to Bruce and he made her sit up front to drive.
The whole trip back, Bruce sat lost in thought about what they had seen today and what still needed to be done.
Jake led the patrol home. It was a little after 1700 when they rode in and headed to the barn, except for Naruto Temari Yamato and Sai who landed before the birds retreated to Sai's scroll. Tonya and Nathan were waiting at the barn for Steve. They ran over to him as he climbed down from his horse. Steve wrapped both of them up in his arms then lifted Nathan up to the saddle as he led the horse to the barn.
Bruce looked up and saw Stephanie holding PJ with the twins beside her. She ran up to Debbie, hugging her then moving down the line, hugging everyone. They stopped at him as he climbed off. Bruce reached down and picked up the twins, hugging them then put each one on as Buffy trotted off on Nightmare toward the barn. Bruce held out his arms for PJ and he reached out for Bruce.
Grabbing him, Bruce gave him big squeezes and kisses that PJ really loved. Then Bruce looked at Stephanie. "Well, are ya going to hug me or not, woman?" Bruce asked her. Stephanie hugged Bruce as Debbie walked up.
"Hey, no tongue now," Debbie said.
Stephanie let go of Bruce and looked at Debbie. "How do you use tongue when you hug someone?" Stephanie asked Debbie.
Debbie laughed, shaking her head, "I was kidding, Stephanie, like when you kiss."
"I only kissed him on the cheek," Stephanie told her, not understanding. Debbie looked down, shaking her head.
"You bring another woman to our bed that doesn't know anything about hanky panky?" Bruce asked Debbie, shaking his head with disappointed look.
Stephanie slapped his arm. "I know stuff like that Bruce," she told him in a sassy tone.
"Let me guess, you read about it in a book?" Bruce asked.
Sai was about to say something but Naruto shoved an elbow into his side, shutting him up.
"Yeah, but I even saw a dirty movie once," Stephanie shot back, hoping to startle Bruce.
"Shocking, I never would've believed they made those," Bruce replied sarcastically.
Stephanie looked at Debbie. "He's picking on me."
"You asked for that one, baby," Debbie told her laughing.
"Hey, that's more than Sai here," Naruto said. "Sakura and I have to repeatedly set him straight about the difference between book knowledge and life experience."
"Is that why you keep elbowing him?" Stephanie asked.
"That, and he tend to say things that p- off everyone," Naruto explained.
Bruce reached down, picking Stephanie up and throwing her over his shoulder. Debbie walked over and took PJ from him. Bruce put his arm around Debbie and they walked past the community building with Stephanie over his shoulder hitting him on the butt to put her down. Naruto and his team went inside, but Bruce stopped on the patio and whispered to Debbie, "Watch this."
Bruce put Stephanie down and while she was trying to tell him something, Bruce kissed her on the mouth. Locking his mouth to hers he thrust his tongue into her mouth. He then let her go. "That's with tongue," Bruce turned around, kissed Debbie and then walked into the house.
Stephanie was standing there with her eyes closed. She started to wobble on her feet as she opened her eyes. She took a step back trying to keep her balance. Debbie laughed as she caught her arm so Stephanie wouldn't fall. Stephanie looked at Debbie, who was still laughing. Why wasn't Debbie mad at her?
"It was good, wasn't it?" Debbie asked her, smiling.
"Holy s-!" was all Stephanie could manage to say.
"I take it that's good?" Debbie inquired.
"I will sleep somewhere else tonight, Debbie," Stephanie said, looking down.
"What?" Debbie asked in shock.
"Hello, Bruce just kissed me," Stephanie told her.
"Stephanie, Bruce kissed Nancy and Mike like that. Granted, he has to fight Mike to do it," Debbie told her. Stephanie was just staring at her. "You don't get out of this relationship that easy, honey. Bruce is more than man for both of us," Debbie told her, grabbing her arm and leading Stephanie into the house.
Bruce was in his recliner, already dozing off with his vest on the coffee table. Debbie sat down at the table with PJ, then asked Stephanie, "Will you take Bruce's boots off, please." Stephanie complied and then sat down at the table with her laptop.
Danny, Matt, Jake, and Mary came in thirty minutes later, dropping down into chairs, except Jake, who just sat down slowly. Mary reached over and patted his hand. Jake looked at her and smiled.
Danny looked at Debbie, who was feeding PJ. "Thanks Mam. You and Daddy just left your horses. Don't worry though, we took care of it. Thank goodness Daddy Mike came out because the twins wanted Buffy to take them for a ride on that mountain Daddy calls a horse. I was tired of watching them. I want a showe. I love my horse but I don't like smelling like him. Then Jake is on some kind of drug. I just wanted to tell ya thank you for leaving us out there to take care of your and Daddy's horses and gear," Danny finished b-.
Debbie looked up at Danny. "Did you say something baby girl?" Debbie asked.
Danny just dropped her head to the table. "No ma'am."
Debbie kept feeding PJ as others continue to come in. Naruto showed up in the room after taking a shower himself-one of the benefits of using Sai's jutsus since none of his team had to put up their animals. When the cooks called supper ready, Debbie told Buffy to wake Daddy so he could eat. Bruce came into the kitchen after Buffy woke him up. Bruce growled as Millie put a plate at his spot. Millie stopped and looked at him. Bruce just turned away, looking at something else as Millie went to help in the kitchen. Bruce reached down, grabbed the chicken breast off his plate and walked out on the patio. Naruto got up and followed Bruce out.
G-/Jim was sitting at a table eating. When he saw Bruce come out he stood up. Bruce motioned him back down to eat. The three prisoners were sitting at the edge of the patio in the grass, still naked. Bruce called them over. They ran over to him, stopped, then looked down at their feet.
Bruce looked at them and said, "When you're around anyone in this clan you will kneel. When it's me, you will bow on your knees or we'll have another lesson." The three dropped to their knees like someone had shot them. Bruce looked them over as they kneeled in front of him. Bill was walking by but stopped, seeing Bruce with the three, and he sent Frank into the house. The three were covered in s- and smelled of it. Their skin was sunburned and Carla's shaved head was bright red from the sun.
Bruce cleared his throat after taking a bite of chicken. "I'm going to ask each of you questions. SOme I know the answers, some I don't. If you lie, and I will find out, you will see your colleague got off easy. If you answer truthfully you'll be rewarded. Do you understand?" Bruce asked.
"Yes," they said together.
"First, when you talk to me you will address me as sir or I will r- each of you right here with a blow torch. Now, do I make myself clear?" Bruce demanded.
"Yes sir," they replied in unison.
Bruce closed his eyes to fight back the anger, then opened his eyes. "B- Boy, you know where the government stockpiles are located, don't you?" Bruce asked Mitch.
"Yes sir," Mitch replied.
"In what states do you know the locations, B- Boy?" Bruce asked him.
"Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, with several others in Montana, sir," Mitch replied.
"Do you know what each one holds?" Bruce asked.
"In general, but not a complete inventory, sir. If I had my laptop from the camp, I could give you a detailed list, sir," Mitch replied on his knees with his head on the ground.
"B-, what about you? Do you know locations also?" Bruce asked.
"Yes sir," Carla replied.
Bruce turned to the trooper. "How about you, Dumb? Do you know where the state police had stock piles of ammo and weapons?" Bruce asked.
"Yes, sir," the trooper answered.
Bruce tore off three bite sized pieces of chicken and threw it in front of each of them. "Eat it off the ground, don't use your hands," Bruce told them and they did as they were told.
"You three have lost some weight since you've been here. B-, if you didn't have a shaved head and weren't covered in s- you just might look good. Now if you prove yourself useful to the clan you can join the human race again when I allow it. I will allow it when I see that you know you're part of it and not better than the rest of us," Bruce told them and turned to Bill and Naruto.
"Naruto, I need three notebooks and pens. Bill, go tell Debbie I want a bar of soap and three towels please," Bruce requested from the two. Bill and Naruto went in to get the supplies as Bill chuckled and Naruto sighed with relief. The trio really stink.
"B-, do you want to be raped and violated?" Bruce asked her.
Carla started crying. "No, sir."
"Do you think the girls that B- Boy, Dumb, and Dumber raped wanted that?" Bruce questioned as Naruto and Debbie came out to the patio.
"No sir," Carla said, still crying.
"Do you think these two need to be raped to show them what it feels like to have someone do that to them?" Bruce asked her.
Carla stopped crying and replied, "Yes, sir."
Bruce was watching the men and saw their bodies become rigid with her answer. "Well now boys, put your butts in the air for me then," Bruce said as he walked behind them. Both raised their butts in the air as they cried. Naruto remember Bruce putting Jim through something similar and knew they were broken-for now-but they still need work on at least. Bruce smiled. HE had saved three more back to the human race. I should've been a warden, Bruce thought.
"You two are lucky. I killed a lot of infected today and I'm tired," Bruce said as Bill arrived with the rest of the supplies.
"Now you three will take a bath under the water hose. Then each of you will sit down and write down what you know. If you make me a neat long list in the notebooks I'll let each of you have a meal tonight and cover up with a blanket. If the clan can use what you've written down I will give each of you a shirt and one pair of pants tomorrow. Now do you understand?" Bruce asked them.
They replied in unison, "Yes sir."
"B-, tell me in your own words what I mean with these gifts," Bruce told her.
"If we are good and do what we are told, we get rewarded, sir," Carla told Bruce.
"Very good, B-. You two need to tell her thank you later. Tomorrow you can use shovels to pick up s-. If you p- me off again, you'll pick it up with your mouth. Do I make myself clear?" Bruce asked. THey replied in the affirmative.
"Now, go bathe. You three stink, but boys, if you try to hurt B- because she told me the truth, I will become angry. Do you understand?" Bruce warned the two men.
"Yes sir," they replied.
"No go bathe," Bruce told them. Carla and Mitch jumped up, running to the water hose. The officer continued to bow.
Realizing something, Naruto spoke up. "Ah Bruce, I think Dumb's broken arm is the arm he writes with."
Realizing what Naruto was getting at, Bruce asked. "Is that true, Dumb?"
"Yes sir." the officer replied.
"Jim, write for Dumb after he bathes. Now move," Bruce said as the officer ran off. Jim replied "Yes sir," as he came over to Bruce.
"Jim take the idiots the soap and towels so they can wash off. They are to keep the towels and soap. Each night they will bathe right there. Jim, in the barn at the far end is a metal cabinet. On the bottom shelf are wool army blankets we use for the horses. Grab three and give them to the idiots. I want each one at a separate table as they write down what they have been told. Do I make myself clear?" Bruce asked Jim.
"Yes sir," Jim replied.
"Do it, Jim," Bruce told him. Jim took the supplies, setting the notebooks and pens on a table. Then he ran to the barn after giving the idiots the soap and towels.
"Thanks Bruce. Those three really do stink," Naruto said as he headed off.
"No problem Naruto, but I got a favor to ask of you," Bruce said. "I'm going to have Millie talk and threaten those idiots out there, and when she's not doing that, I want you to use your fox form or some other ninjutsu to scare them up a bit. Just show them they got something other than the clan and blues to worry about."
"I can do that," Naruto said before heading in.
Debbie came over to Bruce wrapping her arms around him. "I don't know if I could watch you rape a man," Debbie admitted.
"Baby, between me and you, I couldn't rape a man. I just say it because it scares the s- out of 'em. I couldn't even rape a woman, get medieval on one yeah, but not rape one," Bruce told her then looked at her. "You think I could rape a woman?" Bruce asked.
"No, I know you couldn't do that either. Torture one, yes, but not rape, that's not who you are. I know there are some lines you will never cross," Debbie told him. Then added, "But hearing you talk like that did make me hot." Bruce started looking around for a place to go as Debbie grabbed his face, turning it toward her. "Let's go take a shower. Just don't be obvious, okay," Debbie told him.
"I will be like one of our world's ninjas," Bruce told her, crouching down in a Kung Fu stance.
"Come on, let's eat," Debbie told him, giggling and leading him back inside.
Bruce sat down at his chair, fighting sleep as he took a drink of tea.
"Naruto told me you let the trio bathe. Thank you," Mike said. 'They stanks to high h-,"
"They're making a list of government stockpiles tonight. If the list are good they get clothes tomorrow and get to use shovels. If they p- me off again, they have to pick up s- with their mouth next time," Bruce told Mike.
"Are they broken yet?" Mike asked.
"I told the men to put their butts in the air so I could rape them and they did it while they cried," Bruce told him.
"That's broken," Mike said.
Millie came over, put a piece of cake in front of Bruce and kissed him on his shaved head. As she turned to leave, Bruce stopped her. "Millie, I have to ask you something," Bruce said.
"If it's fo me ta stop bringin ya and the others food, furget' it, I'll leaves the kitchen," Millie said. Several people at the table and the other cooks asked Bruce not to ask her that. Bruce held up his hand for everyone to shut up.
"No Millie, I have to ask you to be a terror along with Naruto. I want you to just talk and threaten those idiots out there. Tell them if you ever hear them doing anything like trying to hurt someone or not doing their job, you'll me they wer planning on doing stuff to the kids in the clan. You get the idea. I want them too terrified to even think of anything. I want them to be drones that just work. Then maybe they will see they can be part of something without hurting others. Naruto will be using his true form and ninjutsu to scare them up a bit so don't worry about doing the same thing as him. They do jobs that no one else desires to do but the jobs need doing. I would understand if you don't want to," Bruce appealed to Millie.
"I understand Naruto, but why me?" Millie asked.
"They watched you kill the other one and are terrified of you," Bruce answered.
"I'll do it. I'll have thoz three so scared the first time I talks to dem they'll wet their pants," Millie told Bruce.
"Thank you Millie, but you can't scare someone enough to pee on themselves," Bruce told her as he continued eating.
"I'll tellz ya what, Bruce if they don't p- themselves the first time I talks to 'em, I'll never bring you or anyone else a plate again," Millie bet Bruce.
"Thank you then, Millie for bringing us plates of food these past days, but I don't like the special treatment," Bruce told her. He didn't know that he was going to lose the bet the next day. Not only did they p- on themselves, two s- themselves. The two days Naruto broke himself off the deal by betting he can't sneak into line without Millie knowing. Sure enough, Naruto created a shadow clone to wait at the table as he use the transformation jutsu and his old prankster experience to sneaked in and got himself a plate of breakfast. After that, Sakura warned Millie not to make bets with Naruto as he always wins.
Bruce kept eating as Millie went into the kitchen. Stephanie looked at Bruce and said, "Okay, I read what you gave me and gone over your schematic-" Stephanie stopped as Bruce dropped his fork, which hit his plate with a loud clank. Bruce slowly turned his head toward Stephanie with his mouth open, full of food.
Grinning, Debbie told him, "Baby, close your mouth, that's gross." Bruce just pushed the food out with his togue onto the table so he wouldn't choke.
"You read all those books on the flash drives in nine hours? Then went over the schematics too?" Bruce asked in bewilderment with his eyes bugging out of his head.
"I was finished with the books by noon, Bruce. They only went over chemistry, how to boil down crude oil to recover the hydrocarbon chains with catalytic reforming or-" Stephanie stopped as Bruce interrupted.
"I know what's in them. It took me two months to read 'em, then another month to draw up the schematics. Stephanie, that's over fourteen gigabytes of information you read in four or five hours. You have to read over a thousand words a minute to do that," Bruce told her.
"Bruce, I can read almost three thousand words a minute but I already had the general idea from chemistry. I do have a masters in organic and biochemistry you know. It was interesting to read; I never thought about how gas was made from oil. Now after going through your schematic I made some changes which should increase the yield by twenty percent. Running at full capacity, I'm sure you could process ten thousands gallons a day. I'll be able to work out a way to use everything by tomorrow, except the contaminated salts and metals. Since the wells around here produce light sweet crude, we will get a large nominal yield." Stephanie stopped as Bruce closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. Stephanie looked at Debbie for guidance but Debbie was just laughing silently.
Bruce stood up, looking at Stephanie. "Thank you, Stephanie, for going over that. Once again, you've proven yourself invaluable to the family." Then Bruce turned to Debbie. "I'm carrying my dumba- to bed if I can remember how to get to my room and undress myself. Bring me some pretty yarn and crayons to play with," Bruce walked out of the kitchen, heading upstairs.
Mike stood up next, "It took me three months to read that s- and another two to understand what the h- Bruce had drawn up. I'm carrying my stupid a- to bed since all I have to do is follow Bruce. My room is beside his, if I can find it." Mike turned to Nancy. "Bring a diaper for me, I don't know if I'll remember how to use the bathroom," Mike told her as he walked out. Nancy's body was shaking as she tried real hard not to laugh out loud.
Jake and Matt stood up, next heading to the door. Jake said over his shoulder, "It took us a week to get that drawing in the computer and we still have no idea what it does. Our dumb a- are following our stupid fathers upstairs. I'm just going to wet the bed."
Alex, Steve and David looked at each other, then around the table, then stood up and left, which left Connor and Naruto at the table with the women. Connor stood up. "I'm carrying my dumba- with them because I don't even know what the h- y'all talking about," he said and left the kitchen.
Naruto picked up his plate, "I'm going to find a different place to eat before you try anything else on me." Naruto said walking off.
The women all busted out laughing. Several came over and hugged Stephanie, giving her high give. Stephanie did not understand why the men left and hoped she hadn't hurt Bruce's feelings again. SHe closed her eyes and metally went through the book she had written from Bruce about boys and couldn't remember anything about this.
Debbie realized she was reading the boy book from memory. "Stephanie, it's not in the boy book. You just reminded them that a girl can be, and is, smarter than the boys," Debbie added.
"Except for Naruto as he's aware," Sakura added as she and Temari join in where Naruto was after hearing what was going on. "I think he just doesn't want to risk finding out what else women of this world can do."
"Thank you, it's refreshing to see them humbled. Nancy and I read those books and others like them and we have long arguments."
Danny asked Stephanie, "Can you teach me how to read like that?"
"I can try Danny, I never taught anyone to read like I do," Stephanie was starting to feel good about herself as pride rushed through her.
Angela asked Stephanie, "When you read a hundred thousand plus words an hour, what is your retention?"
"Over eighty percent," Stephanie said.
"I'm the best strategist in the sand village, but I think you got me beat," Temari said.
"That's why she holds four doctorates and six masters," Nancy said.
"D-, how old were you when you graduated medical school?" Angela asked.
"Twenty," Stephanie answered.
Debbie stood up and handed PJ to Danny. "I'm going to rub it in. Stephanie, will you bring the kids up in twenty minutes. Bruce will probably use language that I want to limit their exposure to."
"Sure. Just don't rub it in too much please," Stephanie pleaded as Debbie kissed her on the cheek. Little did they know Debbie and Bruce had other plans for that twenty minutes but they weren't going to tell anyone. By time Stephanie brought the twins and PJ up for bed Debbie and Bruce hid their evidence. That night Stephanie slept without her bra as they drifted off to sleep.
Naruto joined David in his room later with Konohamarua and Udon before going to sleep himself.
I already know women can be smarter and stronger than men, I don't need another reminder of that, Naruto thought, still remembering that one time Tsunade yanked him by the tail when he tried to fly off after pranking her when she and Shizune was visiting his home village. That one yank send him crashing to the ground and knocked him out. It didn't humble him much back then as he was young fox-kit who haven't had one human friend. Now that Naruto had made human friends, he humbled down and know just how much humans of both genders was capable of doing.
But in this new world, Naruto is going to find himself learning a lot more of the capabilities of some women. Just not from Millie when it came to making bets.
A/N: Sorry about the long wait on updating any stories. My last laptop just kept giving me problems and refuse to work. I got a new one for Christmas and I thought I start up again and post a new chapter after New Years as a new start. I hope you guys enjoy.
As you can see I'm showing parts with Debbie help Stephanie out and trust me there is a reason for this.
