Sorry for the delay; my old computer got hacked and I lost quite a bit of progress, but remaining chapters will be coming in as usual. I just had to re-edit this one after having it almost ready, which was a pain. I also have a new flash drive to start storing my fanfics on as a secondary precaution, so there's that.
Tomorrow, I'll have a little bonus for y'all in the form of a little oneshot as an apology and a show of gratitude for sticking with me through this journey. Said oneshot was also written alongside Spy, so it should be up to our usual quality, lol.
Chapter Nineteen: Confessions and Preparations
In a dimly-lit chamber, far from prying eyes, the sound of gurgling and wet, flashy smacking filled the room. A whisker-marked blond stood before Kaguya, naked from the waist down and firmly gripping her horns as he fucked the demonic woman's throat like his life depended on it. Kaguya was looking up towards him, keeping eye contact with Naruto as her robes lay pooled around her hips.
Her throat could barely contain him as he fucked Kaguya's face without mercy, violating the demoness as she deserved to be for ruining his future as much as she had. She could feel him twitching, too. He was close. So, she reached up and started massaging his balls to help get him off. Naruto roared in exertion and with one last thrust…
"YOU SON OF A WHORE!" Kaguya bolted upright in her bed, a horrified, indignant look in her eyes and her cheeks stained red. Then, she flinched at the sudden clatter of someone scampering on into her bedchamber.
"Is something wrong milady? I heard a scream." The girl in question was a young one with violet hair and an odd style and golden eyes. Her purple, neck-length locks hanging freely, save for an odd bundle of hair up top. Her name was Ajisai, a young kunoichi from Amegakure who eventually rose up the ranks and became one of Kaguya's personal guards. (1)
"I'm fine," the woman replied grumpily averting her gaze. "Bad dream is all. What time is it?"
Ajisai blinked owlishly at the sudden change in subject but answered swiftly regardless. "It's nearing 1 am," she said. "You've not been sleeping very well since that meeting…" She trailed off, looking worried. "Did something happen?"
"No, nothing happened," Kaguya replied with an irritated sigh. "Your concern is appreciated, but I assure you that everything is fine."
"M-my apologies."
Kaguya frowned, taking note that she'd accidentally scared the poor girl. "Think nothing of it; I'm just in a bad mood is all. Be a dear and ensure that Pein reports his progress on locating those sealmasters for me when he wakes up."
"It will be done, milady." Ajisai bowed respectfully and backed out of the room to do just that, closing the door behind her.
With that out of the way, Kaguya grumbled something under her breath about an insufferable stud. This was the third night in a row that she found herself dreaming about that bastard having his way with her!
She groaned. To have been so thoroughly wrecked by that whelp was quite the blow to her ego, needless to say, but thankfully not the worst one she'd ever suffered. No… that distinction belonged to discovering the insatiable, three-legged son of a bitch had clearly banged his wife after he was done with her! To think that she alone was not enough to satisfy him… legitimately pissed her the fuck off! How the absolute fuck was she, the demonic God-Empress of the Gelel Empire, not able to satisfy that boy?!
Taking a deep, calming breath, Kaguya plopped back down into her bed. A hand reached down to the area beneath her navel as a worried frown marred her features. To make matters worse, she felt a familiar tingle that night... a powerful one, too, and knew what it meant.
Her body had deemed him worthy and accepted his seed, much to her utter shock and dismay. Needless to say, that boy was not yet done being a thorn in her ass; not by a long shot...
Meanwhile, back with the 'boy' in question, Naruto's morning was proving to be quite the eventful one as he was roused from his sleep by a pleasurable sensation upon his dick. Though he'd become accustomed to it, this still came as a surprise to him, given the girl's personality.
After discovering that Naruto had gotten her pregnant, Cassandra confronted his wife and mistresses to timidly ask if she could officially join in on the fun last night. She was far more worried than she needed to have been as it turned out; Sylvia and the others were quite happy to welcome another concubine into the fold. Of course, Neideen was quick to tease her relentlessly about it, but that was the worst of it.
Now, here he was, asleep in her bed… but they weren't alone.
After moment Naruto and Cassandra shared, Miranda took the opportunity she saw and snuck in. The pigtailed blonde was eager to join her friend in pleasuring Naruto and Cassandra didn't mind at all. She welcomed it, in fact.
Groaning both pleasurably and tiredly, Naruto slowly woke from his slumber. Then, as his eyes fluttered and focused enough for him to see, he nearly came on the spot from the sight he was graced with.
His eyes met with two pairs of silver ones as both Cassandra and Miranda dragged their tongues up and down his shaft from base to tip in alternating motions. On their hands and knees with their asses raised in the air as if presenting themselves to be mounted, Miranda was licking down her side of the shaft while Cassandra was going up on hers. Then they would switch and repeat, over and over...
Giggling hornily Miranda fluttered her eyes at him seductively, before leaning in to wrap her mouth around as much cock as she can. It ended up being half-way. Her tongue slipped out past her bottom lip and started lavishing the underside of his cock with a hungry moan. As for Cassandra, she did the exact same thing as her friend and with closed eyes, she let out a very hungry moan of her own.
Naruto shuddered in pleasure. Their sucking, licking and slurping felt good. Really good. His eyes threatened to close by the sheer sensory overload he was getting. And it got even better when the two best friends started to move. This time both women moved in the same direction and tried to cover as much of his dick as possible with their lips and tongues. When they got to the tip, the women had a brief battle between themselves—it was a pleasurable one as well. Their tongues would slip out and battle each other for dominance, and their mouths would close in and engage in a viciously pleasurable liplock… with Naruto's dick, the prize, in the middle of the two.
If he wasn't about to come before, he was very close to doing it now.
"This… is one hell of a way to wake up," Naruto groaned, shuddering when their still battling tongues brushed against a sensitive spot. He closed one eye, letting out another pleasant shudder, followed by a very pleased groan when the women focused on that specific spot. He grinned devilishly at them, before raising an eyebrow at the pigtailed one. "No offense, but I... thought you preferred women…?"
"I did," Miranda deadpanned, as she withdrew to look at him, before averting her gaze and sputtering helplessly. "I mean I do! It's just that I… uh… you, I mean…" She cleared her throat and started fidgeting shyly.
"It's fine," Naruto reassured her with an amused chuckle. "But, let me guess; you preferred women, until you found out you liked me the same way too?"
"Y-yes and no," she muttered shyly. "Truth is, I'm bisexual; but after becoming a warrior, I just… gave up on finding a guy. Didn't mind so much, though; I always kinda leaned towards liking women."
"Well, I could say I didn't like you in that way, but that would be a lie. You are so cute. And to be completely honest, it was kinda hard keeping my hands off you. I only did because you never showed any interest."
Miranda blushed heavily at that and felt flattered that he called her cute. She was just not used to being complemented by a guy.
Seeing her fidget in place, Naruto hummed thoughtfully. "If you want, you can come up and cuddle?"
Miranda took a deep, calming breath and averted her gaze. "I'll… need to muster up the will, first."
"No worries; it's fine." Naruto chuckled warmly at that, loving how adorably shy she was being at the moment. Then, he flashed them both a ravenous grin. "Gotta say though, it looks like I have a pair of adorable, sexy, horny bitches to tame."
The women both felt a pang of lust upon hearing that, their cheeks burning a bright red. They exchanged a glance and then Miranda gestured for Cassandra to go first. The former Number One nodded, before crawling on up to him.
"You most certainly do," Cassandra commented with a shy but inviting smile. "If you don't show me my place enough times, I might start getting... rebellious." She then leaned down, stuck her tongue out and licked his whiskered cheek. "We can't have that, now can we…?"
"I don't know; a sexy, exotic woman like you getting rebellious sounds… exciting," Naruto commented with a toothy grin. He reached up and cupped her cheek, and lovingly stroked said cheek with his thumb, "I'd have to 'fight you' every now and then and make you 'submit', I might even lose a few times. It keeps things from getting stale, y'know?"
Naruto chuckled as he saw a cloud of steam cartoonishly rising from Cassandra's head from how heavily he made her blush. Then, he drew a surprised yelp from her, grabbing the former Number One by her waist and flipping them over so that he was on top. He groaned and felt his dick grow painfully hard upon seeing the longing gaze she gave him soon after. She wanted this just as badly as he did!
"But, then again," Naruto added, "Who am I to deny my sexy, little mistress what she wants~?"
Before she even knew what was happening, Cassandra's eyes went wide with shock and she let loose a deep, guttural moan when she felt his mighty cock already starting to part her folds. Once he bottomed out in her, Naruto stayed in place to allow the woman to adapt to his size once more. During that time he looked down and look his lover in.
"If there's one thing I adore about you, Cassie, it's got to be your ears."
Still blushing the woman looked up at him with curiosity. "My… my ears?"
Naruto nodded with enthusiasm, "Mhmm, I don't know why, but something about them makes you look so… exotic. Your silver eyes only enhance it. You're a very beautiful woman and I am very, very lucky to have you in the family."
Cassandra's bottom lip trembled and her eyes burned as she stared at him in utter shock, but then, she smiled and pulled him down into a deep, loving kiss. At that moment, it was settled beyond a shadow of a doubt: she was his. Cassandra gasped into his mouth, feeling him pull back and harshly thrust into her. Hot shivers ran up the blonde's spine and her toes curled at the shock wave of pleasure he sent through her.
Then, he thrust into her again… and again… and again. The sound of flesh smacking flesh quickly filled the room as Naruto picked up the unrelenting pace. Soon enough, he was fucking her good and proper, groaning pleasurably into their liplock. Cassandra mewled into his lips as she raised her legs and linked them behind his back to keep him from pulling out completely.
Naruto withdrew from the liplock, panting, and leaving a string of saliva to bridge their mouths together. He stared down at the woman with hungry eyes, then his eyes roamed down until they landed upon her chest.
"Fuck, your tits are big!" Growled the blond, lust filling his voice as he followed their every move.
"Th-that's your fault," Cassandra grunted. "The baby you put in me is making them swell up." She shuddered lustfully, the pounding her man delivered was driving her insane! She threw her head back with a gasp, a pleasured scream caught in her throat when Naruto abruptly sped up his thrusting.
"M-makes me wanna bury my face in them." He grunted, growling and snarling as the pace of his thrusting picked up more and more with each passing second. The pleasure he was feeling from their intercourse was building up and that just made him speed up. "M-makes me wanna breed you like a bitch, all over again!"
Cassandra felt her head spin, the pleasure in her loins building up to an explosive climax as she wailed in orgasm. In that exact moment, Naruto bared his teeth and hilted himself in Cassandra with one final thrust and flooded her womb with his seed. As his baby making cream spurted into her, Naruto laid down on top of his woman to whisper into her ear.
"Anytime you wanna fuck, come and find me. I'll gladly fuck another baby into you… or just do it for fun." Those words sent another shudder through Cassandra and she flexed her hips against his in reaction.
Cassandra shuddered, her inner walls clamping down upon him to coax more of his seed out of his balls. Then, Miranda surprised them both, placing a hand on Naruto's shoulder.
"I'm ready," the blonde cooed. "But, instead of being on top, I want you… to… to take my innocence from behind and… b-breed me… like a… a bitch~!"
Cassandra gasped, feeling Naruto's cock throbbing within her.
"Bend over, then," Naruto growled hungrily..
With a wide, challenging smile, Miranda started getting more confident and giggled, leaning in to whisper into his ear. "D-do me a favor and... back out of her. I want you to take me while I'm... cleaning her up~!"
Cassandra when cross-eyed as she felt Naruto's reaction to whatever her friend just said. By the Twins, did he just get bigger?! Then she shuddered and mewled pathetically at the loss when he pulled out of her. Before she could say anything, though, Miranda was looming over her with a hungry, yet timid look in her eyes.
Cassandra slowly felt her own eyes growing wide with realization. Was Miranda… was Miranda about to do what she thought she was?! No way…
While Naruto eagerly scampered around behind her, Miranda bit her lip shyly and pulled a squawk from the former Number One by diving down and suddenly dragging her tongue over the woman's folds.
"I have... another confession to make," Miranda said, looking up at her best friend from her place between Cassandra's legs. "I… I've been wanting to… to be with you for years, now, but I couldn't muster up the will to say it."
Once again, Cassandra's head was spinning. She honestly had no idea how to react to this. That confession Miranda made some time ago when she revealed she liked girls… did she lie about not liking her in that way?!
"Then, Naruto stole you from right under me," Miranda continued, eyeballing the man in question and shaking her booty at him enticingly. She closed her eyes and let out a soft moan when the woman felt him palm her ass and gently knead it with his fingers. "I'll admit that I was angry at first… all those years of sexual frustration bubbled up to the surface all at once. But, at the same time, I can't help but like this… unusual situation I found myself in."
"It sure is a sexy one," Naruto chuckled.
Miranda giggled as she opened her eyes and returned her attention to Cassandra. "I… hope you don't mind, I like you… but at the same time, I don't want to lose you. I want to be with you and Naruto… for as long as we live." She then gave Cassandra another lick.
The woman in question gasped and moaned, her body acting on its own as she grabbed Miranda by the pigtails and pulled her closer. Taking that as permission, Miranda obliged, hooked her arms under Cassandra's thighs and immediately started eating her out.
"Well, well," Naruto chuckled, "it seems you're asserting your position, former Number One. How bold!"
Cassandra mumbled incoherently; the combination of her embarrassment, pleasure and mixed feelings about this whole thing left the poor woman unable to do much more than lie back and enjoy the ride.
Naruto smiled in amusement at that, before situating himself behind Miranda. He figured now as good a time as any to start playing his part in this little threesome. And so, he did just that, guiding his throbbing member towards Miranda's sopping virgin cunny with one hand while placing the other on her nice, firm ass. Then, he slowly sank into her depths, ridding the girl of her innocence once and for all.
Miranda mewled into her best friend's folds, sending waves of pleasure through the woman, as she felt Naruto's balls pressed up against her clit, his mighty cock practically splitting her in two. Then, he pulled out and slammed right back into her, ripping a yelp from the pigtailed blonde as she endeavored to pleasure Cassandra while enjoying the ride.
Like he did with Cassandra before her, Naruto started off slow and steadily picked up the pace, and before Miranda knew it he was pounding her pussy nice and deep. Cassandra wailed pleasurably at the ministrations of her best friend who impressively mauled her still-tender pussy. Miranda whimpered and mewled into the former Number One's lower lips while enduring Naruto's assault as best she could, and the blond himself moaned pleasurably at the walls clamping down on him so deliciously tight.
Poor Cassandra was the first to go down, pulling Miranda's face towards her crotch with a yelp. The cocktail of her and Naruto's juices splashed all over the younger woman's face and were greedily lapped up. Then, Miranda withdrew slightly and let loose a long, deep groan, her own orgasm hitting the woman like a ton of bricks and triggering Naruto's
The young man in question slammed into Miranda with one last grunt, as he painted her insides a pearly white. He pulled her hips towards him while he was at it, letting every last spurt shoot as deep inside her as possible and ensuring as best he could that she, too, would bear his young.
Miranda bit her lip and giggled shyly. "I could… definitely get used to this," she commented breathlessly.
A very winded Naruto smiled and nodded in agreement. "Gotta say watching you eat your friend out while I was fucking you was hella hot," he said. "Not sure I have much left in me after cumming that hard." It didn't hold a candle to what Kaguya squeezed out of him, but damn did that feel good!
Miranda blushed heavily at that and smiled kindly. Then, she whimpered at the feel of his softening dick leaving her depths. It honestly felt like a piece of her was going with him when he pulled out. When she noticed that her friend was being so quiet, though, Miranda pushed herself up with considerable effort and checked on Cassandra.
As it turned out, said woman had long since fainted from a combination of pleasure and embarrassment. Miranda couldn't help but have a good laugh at that, assuming the latter did her poor friend in.
Later that day, though, was when things really started to get interesting as a black rift in the great hall signified Kaguya's arrival. Kurako was there in an instant to gauge her intentions as she still didn't trust the woman, but she thankfully had nothing to worry about.
Naruto came soon after, also sensing Kaguya's arrival and Kaguya greeted him with a respectful bow. Both the Kyuubi and her former vessel took note that she avoided looking him in the eye, but filed that away for later.
"You two have nothing to worry about," she assured. "I'm just here to discuss the seal."
"Oh, right," Naruto muttered sheepishly, his nerves calming significantly. "How's the progress?"
"We've recruited a team that should prove sufficient, but the general consensus appears to be that they must split in two and coordinate their efforts her and back home to achieve our goal of connecting the realms," Kaguya explained. "The team should arrive within the hour and when they do, I'll send a portion to your location."
Naruto spared Kurako a glance and the vixen nodded. This woman was being perfectly honest, which made perfect sense; he'd studied many a seal when under Jiraiya's tutelage, so what she said checked out. Turning his attention back to Kaguya, he nodded. "Sounds like a plan, then," he said. "I'll clear up a room for it to be put in the meantime."
The three-eyed woman nodded back, before handing him a mirror, much like the ones she'd given to Naruto and Kurako before that meeting with the Coalition.
Around an hour later, Naruto was in the great hall once more, alongside Riful, Sylvia, Kurako and Neideen. After consulting with the Abyssal One on the matter, seeing how this was her castle, the decision was made to have the seal placed in an empty room that is closest to the great hall. And the room in question was to their left; it was big, empty, and easy to fend off anybody emerging from the seal who would want to harm Naruto.
To be fair, it was easy to see people from Naruto's world would want to do him harm. If Kaguya's words are to be believed then many hidden villages sold their Jinchuuriki to the Akatsuki. The ungrateful little shits. No one in the room would be surprised if these seal masters wanted to seal Kurako up and deliver her to Kaguya so she could regain more of her power.
"We should fortify that room a bit more; reinforce the door, make that wood ceiling tougher, somehow…" Riful commented.
"There is a way to cut off people's ability to use their chakra," Naruto said after taking a brief moment to contemplate on what to do. "I'm no seal master, but getting it down and putting it in the room should be easy enough for me."
Riful looked very happy to hear that. "That's a good idea. Can it be done?"
"In the amount of time that we have left? No. It had been around an hour since Kaguya talked to me and the seal masters themselves will be here any minute now. Just give me a few days, though and I will see what I can do."
"Well, I most certainly approve," Kurako chimed in. "It's our best bet against anything from our world who might have negative intent."
"So it would seem," Riful replied with a sagely nod. As much as she disliked admitting it, the Abyssal One knew she would be killed if enough people from Naruto's world with the intent to harm found their way here. There was only so much she could do against people who seem to be able to manipulate the very elements themselves. "Alright. You do that, honey. Be sure to get the seal done in a timely manner and I will reward you quite… enthusiastically."
Well, that was some damn good incentive if ever he'd seen it.
"Consider it done," Naruto chuckled. Then he heard Kaguya's voice sounding out of his pocket, where he kept the mirror that was given to him.
"We're ready to start when you are," the demoness said.
Naruto pulled the mirror out and replied. "We're all set here," he chirped.
Kaguya nodded and opened a portal for two of the seal masters.
The first was a man who appeared to be from Kumo, given his skin tone. He was quite large, heavy-set, yet muscular with an impressive beard and thick eyebrows. His head was clean-shaven and his attire consisted of an open, white flak jacket, black cargo pants and matching combat boots.
Naruto remembered occasionally seeing him in passing while being trained by Octo-Pops. He couldn't remember the guy's name for the life of him but knew for sure that he was a jounin of respectable caliber.
The second was a tall, tan-skinned woman with white hair, one red eye and an eye patch over the left one. Her silky, straight locks flowed down her back like a waterfall, reaching down to her tailbone and her bell-sleeved, shoulderless dress left little to the imagination, hugging her curves enticingly and showing off a very generous amount of cleavage. Several black, spiral-shaped tattoos peeked out from her clothing and swirled about upon her arms and sizable bosom. Every last one of them was identified by Naruto as one seal or another, much to the blond's surprise.
Naruto also recognized the woman herself from an old newspaper he'd skimmed, years ago; she a notorious drug lord and former leader of a tight-knit yakuza group from Otafuku Gai. In the article, it was said that she personally killed them all and was sentenced to live out her years in prison upon being discovered by the Uchiha Police Force, back when they were still a thing. That was all he remembered, though. (2)
Either she was incredibly young at the time or the years have been very kind to her… possibly both; it was hard to tell… either way, she was remarkably pretty and looked younger than she should, all things considered.
Still, though, given her past, Naruto made a mental note to keep a close eye on her. Granted, had she been planning to try something, Kurako would have killed her on sight, but it was better to be safe than sorry.
Once the woman emerged, the portal closed behind them.
"These two are Dii of Kumo and Semimaru Reiko of Otafuku Gai," Kaguya said. "They'll assist you in the endeavor on your side. The man you'll be coordinating with is named Shunsui. I'll hand him the mirror and you can get started."
"That's fine by me," Naruto replied. Then, he turned towards the new arrivals and spoke to them in his native tongue "It's nice to meet you two."
"Just so you know," Kurako chimed in, her expression sickly sweet, "if you two try something funny, I will be the first to know, and I will personally feed you to the brunette."
"Duly noted," Reiko chirped—speaking in the language of this continent, much to Naruto and his harem's collective surprise. She didn't flinch at the Kyuubi's threat in the slightest, either, as she gave Kurako a polite, though flirty smile. In fact, she had been expecting such a reaction… hell, given her background, she was expecting worse! "Dii and I will be on our best behavior, I assure you. Kaguya-Sama has actually promised to do worse if we tried something so foolish." She meant it, too; Reiko was offered a complete pardon of her crimes in addition to a cut of the reward, in fact! There was no way in hell she'd let anything stop her from attaining that freedom!
Reading Reiko's thoughts, Kurako turned to Naruto and nodded; the woman was being completely honest. The fact that Kaguya had to resort to recruiting an inmate like her, though, was quite the testament to how difficult this was going to be; S-Class seal masters were very hard to come by and, according to her and Dii's memories, the whole damn team was comprised of them.
"Good to know," the whisker-marked blond commented after a brief pause. "Alright. So, I take it you guys have something in mind that'll get the job done?"
"There are a few options to choose from," Dii grunted. "Though, a summoning seal that traverses entire universes has never been done before… The God-Empress was right to call for so many high-tier masters on this one. So what do the kids on Shunsui's end think about it?"
"A daunting task," a laid back, masculine voice replied from Naruto's mirror. "Though, I do believe your village's Nidaime had something that may serve as a good place to start."
"Ah, yes… the Thousand Dragon Transit Seal," Dii replied knowingly. Ei the Second was an insane, glorious bastard whose mastery of Fuuinjutsu surpassed even Jiraiya's, long ago. His Thousand Dragon Transit Seal was the stuff of legends, able to relocate entire armies from one side of the continent to another, headquarters and all, in an instant. "It's certainly up there on my list of recommendations; toning back the scale to focus on distance is a good place to start, though it functions differently than what we're going for, here."
"How so?" Reiko asked.
"The seal was only drawn in the target location and triggered by a scroll," Dii explained. "It also required a building to activate; basically, said building, foundation and all, and anyone inside it would be transported to the target location by the scroll-bearer… however, I was considering the thought of combining it with Sarutobi Sasuke's Great Bridge of the Gods Mass Summoning Seal—which is mechanically identical to what we're trying to achieve, but lacks the… oomph we need."
"Indeed," Shunsui commented. "If I remember correctly, that one has a very short range, but by combining it with the Thousand Dragons Transit Seal… yes, actually! I think you're definitely onto something with that idea!"
Naruto had no idea what they were saying… this was even more true with Neideen, Sylvia, and Riful; but from the sounds of it, these people had something to go on. Meanwhile, Kurako appeared to understand what they were saying just fine. Naruto was not surprised; seeing how she had been around for a very long time, the vixen probably witnessed those seals in action at some point.
"I take it you're ready to begin?" Naruto asked them.
Reiko and Dil both turned to address him, with Reiko giving the blond an excited look, "Of course! What we ultimately want to achieve will most certainly take more steps than just combining these two seals, but this is a good place to start." Though Reiko composed herself in a calm and collected manner, Naruto could tell that she was practically gushing at the thought of participating in this project.
"I see." Naruto commented. "That's good to know."
Five minutes later, Naruto, Reiko and Dii were all in a circle as they got themselves ready to work. Kurako was watching the seal masters Kaguya sent like a hawk, Riful was there as well, while Neideen and Sylvia scampered off to watch over the kids. In the center of the circle, several scrolls and sealing supplies were strewn about, with two in particular opened up for Naruto, Reiko and Dii to study.
"They seem compatible as far as I can tell," Naruto commented, looking at the seals they were to try and combine.
From the mirror, Shunsui added his two cents. "They are remarkably similar in design." While it wasn't uncommon for seals with a similar function to share a few traits, they were still quite lucky that these two had so much in common, despite their mechanical differences.
"Toning down the Thousand Dragon Seal to only summon one person at a time seems like the best place to start," Reiko chimed in. "It'd be a bit of a hurdle, but not impossible."
"I'm the most familiar with it out of the lot of us," Dii said, "I can strip down the inner rings pretty easily, in fact."
"Sounds like a plan," Shisui chirped. "Nanao and I will get to work on the Great Bridge while you're doing that."
With that, the process of developing this seal to connect two realms of existence truly commenced…
1: Don't say this much about filler shit, but I kinda liked Ajisai. Not quite sure why, mind you, but I found her very interesting... She's also kinda cute. I'mma likely find something to do with her in future projects if I can.
2: A callback to Twisted Bonds; Semimaru Reiko was actually borrowed from an obscure manga series named Yakuza Girl. Wouldn't recommend it, though, since it was kinda shit, but Reiko was the best thing in the series and is quite possibly why I have a thing for badass, seductive female characters, lol. Long story short, she's been plucked from her respective story and plopped on into the Narutoverse; I'm liable to have her pop up in my stories as a descendant of the Kaguya Clan.
Aaand that is that. Hope y'all enjoyed! I'm shooting for the next chapter to come out on the 15th of this month and since I have most of this story stored away as I rewrite the ending, none of that was lost. I just had to reedit this whole chapter because my computer got hacked a day before the update... because of course it did, lol. With Halloween being a factor on top of that, I was slowed down even more. But, not that the shitstorm is behind me and I have a new laptop, updates will resume as scheduled.
I apologize for the inconvenience and hope y'all continue to enjoy! :)
