I sincerely hope at least one person's day is made brighter by reading this.
Naruto forced himself to wake up before he wanted to. His blue eyes blinked open and the first thing he did was shut down his psychic bond with Hinata. She'd just endured her first combat, she deserved all the rest she could get. Gently but firmly detaching her from his body, Naruto stood up in the cabin and stretched. He almost walked out naked before remembering there was another person aboard now. Once dressed in his cargo pants and shirt, Naruto went to check on Hana.
Naruto knelt down beside the pale-skinned girl barely older than Hinata. Given the wounds on her back and side, she'd decided to sleep on her front. Naruto surveyed her body, up and down, using X-Ray Vision to confirm all her injuries. Severe lashing by a neural whip, broken ribs from landing on her side when thrown thirty feet into the cargo bay of the pirates' ship, and a broken nose complete with two black eyes from a mean blow to the face.
What killed Naruto was that it would be so easy to fix all that. One dose wouldn't cause any permanent changes. Even without his cum, he had the powers to reshape Hana's body back into a healthy form. But he couldn't risk it. She was a ranking member of the Konoha Federation Navy. She had duties and obligations, her entire career ahead of her. When she got back to Port Heracles, there would be reports and questions. It just wasn't worth the risk. Besides, he highly doubted she'd throw that all away just to spend eternity by his and Hinata's sides.
Still, it was a shame. She really was quite a lovely girl, past all the current flaws and imperfections. Naruto stroked the facial tattoo, probably a clan sign, of a red fang on her left cheek. The mental image Hinata had teased him with haunted him. It was so tempting to imagine this battered, broken bird being restored under his hand into a queen of the sky. But alas, it wasn't meant to be.
Naruto left the passenger cabin and went for the Cockpit, checking the long-range scanners with fervor. Now that it was confirmed that pirates were praying on passerby, Naruto was extremely determined that the Fool's Gold wouldn't be next. But the route seemed clear, showing they had a day and a half until reaching the system for Port Heracles.
Everything in his domain confirmed as stable, Naruto keenly felt how sweaty he was. He'd forgotten how hard combat could be on the glands. He retreated to the main cabin, made sure Hinata was still asleep, and then shucked his clothes to enter the bathroom. There was a time when he would have folded them before placing them in the hamper, but since he'd gotten Hinata in his life, he'd been much less fastidious about his cleanliness. His inner need for dominance was more than fulfilled by the bubbly bluenette.
Naruto went through the familiar motions of getting himself clean. Then he just lay there under the flow, feeling the warm water wash over him. 37. That's how many more bodies he'd added to his count that day. They were pirates, worse than scum, the vermin of humanity. To watch an Oni do what Oni did to women and LAUGH about it! Naruto felt no guilt whatsoever for whipping their lives away. But still, the number was burned into his brain. He supposed what bothered him was how easy it had been. Psychic Speed and Strength turned an automatic rifle from a kicking cannon to a smooth, sleek crossbow. He could have done tricks while firing, if he'd really wanted. But no, he'd just planted a bullet or two in each target's chest or head. And if murder, even well-intentioned, legally excusable murder, could become a game to someone like Naruto, then they were all in big trouble.
Naruto was broken from his brooding by a knock at his mental door, coinciding with a pair of strong arms wrapping around his waist. *Hey,* he sent to his Matriarch. *I thought you were still asleep.*
*Sound of the water woke me up. I come in here and find you isolating. So what's on the Uzu's mind?* Hinata asked.
*Just wrestling with my humanity, or whatever you want to call it. I killed a lot of people today.*
Hinata ran a comforting hand up Naruto's cobblestone abs. *Were they really people, though? Those guys made some of the gang members back on Karron look like saints. It's like stomping out plague rats, the way I see it.*
Naruto turned to look down into her face. *You really have no guilt? You killed that Oni, remember? Most people are shaken up by their first murder.*
Hinata shrugged. *It was a rapist and a killer. It was threatening the life of an innocent young woman. I was in a position to protect her, so I did. Simple math, really, at least for me. We good guys, they bad guys,* she fake grunted in her thoughts.
Naruto rose a brow. *That might be some more of the personality changes inherent to the Thralldom, though. Combat morality, a black-and-white sense of ethics.*
*Maybe so. But I'm not going to shed a tear over killing some overgrown sex gorilla or helping you rescue Hana. If you struggle with your conscience, then I'll do anything I can to help soothe and comfort you. But my own, altered or otherwise, is clear. At the end of the day, some negatives were removed from the universe and a positive was saved. Case closed.* So saying, Hinata leaned up to place a tender kiss to Naruto's lips. *Now, the shower is about relieving stress. Seems like you've been stimulating it instead. We'll have to do something to fix that.*
Naruto grinned and looked into those lavender eyes that meant more to him than anything in the world. *Gods, it's like you were made just for me.*
*I was, remember?* she teased. *Now, I missed lunch. Would you like to feed me here or in bed?*
Naruto smirked. His large, strong hands grabbed the insides of her thighs and lifted. With an 'eep', Hinata found herself held up against the shower wall, Naruto's hands in the crease of her knees. She was utterly helpless in this position, totally at his mercy. Settling into her new position, she reached out to wrap her hands around the back her partner's neck. Naruto eyed her up and down, the strain of supporting her whole bodyweight not even showing on his musculature.
*For an appetizer, I figured I'd made you cum your brains out as many times as you can handle around my cock. Then we'll finish off in bed with me hosing your meal down your greedy throat into your empty belly.*
*I wholeheartedly endorse this menu!* Hinata chirped, eyeing where the turgid shaft was growing to full prominence between them. It was always a wonder to watch Naruto's sleeping equipment transform into the womb-penetrating spear that was its natural form. Once it had reached its full size, Naruto angled his hips to lay the tip at the tiny entrance to her inner passages. Hinata bit her lip, waiting anxiously for that first, anticipated stretch. Finally, after making her almost beg for it, Naruto pierced her body with his cock.
They both groaned as he slid home until his quad were packed up against her ass cheeks. Her walls spasmed around his length, the cervix forced wide by the invading pillar. *I love how it feels when your big cock is all the way inside me,* Hinata thought dreamily.
*What a coincidence. My big cock loves being all the way inside you.* Naruto leaned in to kiss Hinata, before pulling back and squaring himself. *Now, to fuck you into a coma!*
Naruto began to piston his hips, driving his prodigious prick in and out of Hinata's pussy with mechanical regularity. Held up against the wall, Hinata could do nothing but take each thrust. Every inch of cock passing to and fro within her inner walls sent waves of pleasure crashing down on her. Hinata cried and wailed as she was driven over the edge into an orgasm that never seemed to end, the waves and peaks of one release ending just as the next began.
Naruto kept rigid control over his body as he inflicted massive amounts of bliss on his woman. When he sensed she had reached her limit, around the sixth or seventh consecutive orgasm, he pulled out. He led her out of the shower, grabbing two towels from the heated rack to dry them off. His length was purple and angry-looking, but they both ignored it for a moment. Until Naruto sat down on the edge of their bed and Hinata fell to her knees before him.
Naruto's head fell back as Hinata deepthroated him like a pro. Within a minute, the caress of her throat and mouth pushed him over the limit of his endurance. With a strangled yell, Naruto let loose the contents of his testicles. Squirt after squirt of Uzu semen was fed down Hinata's mouth and into her belly, which soon rounded out from the sheer amount being fed to her. Naruto collapsed back on the bed, utterly spent from his marathon fuck in the shower and the sweet release provided at the end.
Hinata licked her lips, savoring the creamy, vanilla-like taste of her man's juice. She heard a small noise behind her. Turning to look over her shoulder, Hinata saw Hana standing awkwardly behind the edge of the door. She must have come to investigate the sounds they were making. Hinata sent the traumatized Naval Lieutenant a reassuring smile. Unfortunately, that seemed to be too much for the poor girl, who fled as soon as she saw she'd been noticed.
*We had an audience,* Hinata alerted her master in all but title.
Naruto blinked himself out of his pleasure coma at busting such a huge nut. *Well, it's a shame she missed the real show, then, isn't it?*
Hinata's eyes flashed. *You joke, but we saved that girl's life. In certain cultures, that means we own her. She could just vanish, another casualty of that Corvette attack. A week with you feeding her and she'll barely be recognizable.*
*I'm going to stop you right there. She probably has a family. She has a career ahead of her. We're not offering her the Gift unless she asks to leave the Navy and join us.*
Hinata pouted. *Oh, darn. And I thought I had finally found a lesbian lover. And the "Gift"? Is that what we're calling it?*
*Immortality, magical mind powers, and a lifetime membership to my personal harem? Sounds like a Gift to me.* Naruto grinned. *I'll check on Hana again. You probably shouldn't be seen by her until your tummy goes down. Maybe read the Holonet in bed?*
*Okay, babe. Don't tease her.*
*I wouldn't dare,* Naruto protested.
Naruto got dressed in fresh clothes and walked to the passenger cabin, a spring in his step. Not only had Hinata provided a very pleasant outlet for his stress, she had gotten him over his brooding. Naruto entered Hana's cabin to find the girl laying on her side facing away from him.
"Hana? Are you awake?" Naruto asked kindly.
She tensed, but nodded silently.
"I apologize if Hinata and I made too much noise and woke you. We'll be more considerate from here on out," Naruto told her unabashedly.
Hana just might have squeaked. Now that Naruto was close, he saw that her cheeks were so red you almost couldn't see her tattoos. Deciding to abandon that line of conversation, Naruto regarded the bandaged weals on Hana's back. "You want some painkillers?"
Hana nodded quietly again. Naruto fetched a couple tablets from the trauma kit and a glass of chilled water from the dispenser. He gently helped Hana sit up, wincing in sympathetic pain as she groaned.
"Here you go. Feel better and get plenty of rest, okay?" Naruto encouraged as she swallowed the pain pills.
Hana nodded. She curled up back on her side and within seconds was out like a light. Between the fast-acting meds and her own exhaustion, it was a wonder she'd made the trip all the way to the main cabin in the first place.
Naruto rejoined Hinata in the cabin and they scrolled and played together on the Holonet. They had a late dinner, Naruto chewing a sandwich with one hand with the other on Hinata's bobbing head. They slept together, taking the time to ward themselves before bed as had become their habit. The next day was uneventful. The long-range scanners showed nothing, so the pirates weren't in pursuit. Naruto busied himself with maintenance while Hinata kept an eye on Hana while continuing to accumulate useful knowledge from the Holonet at a rapid pace. Hana woke just once, and asked for more painkillers immediately. Hinata fed them to her, her heart breaking at seeing the smaller girl in pain.
*Is this how you feel when you look at me?* Hinata asked as she watched Hana fade out again.
*Mostly. Believe it or not, I want to fuck her less than you do, so I'm not quite as horny as you are. But yes, feeling big and like you want to cover them up and hide them away from all life's imperfections, that's male protectiveness to a tee.*
Hinata sat up. *I consider this my new project. I'll keep in touch with her after we drop her off, I'll become her friend, I'll share secrets. I'll do whatever it takes to convince her she wants to be your gal as much as I am.*
*And I wish you good luck, really. I'm just not holding out high hopes given her circumstances.* Naruto entered the cabin and held Hinata in a hug. *Come on, she's sleeping. You haven't eaten all day. I think you need a double helping.*
Hinata's eyes widened, completely distracted from Project Hana. *Two doses at once! I'll look full-term with triplets!*
*We'll find out, won't we?* And then Naruto used his Psychic Healing to have back-to-back blowjobs from his girlfriend. Her belly button popped out like it had their second day together. Hinata was one satisfied kitten after so much milk.
Around noon the next day, they finally made it to Port Heracles. Hinata marveled at the Konoha Federation structure as the Fool's Gold made its approach, Naruto describing their situation and uploading his After Action Report of the attack. The starport resembled nothing so much as a stacked set of plates, the cylinders of the decks interspersed with docking bays and other equipment. When Hinata compared the size of the superstructure to the Fool's Gold, she marveled at how such a thing had ever been built by human hands. Karron was one thing, it had started out as a giant rock and they'd carved a home out of it. This had been assembled from the materials of hundreds of worlds shipped in and then put together in the emptiness of space. It truly boggled the mind.
When they'd landed, the airlock was opened to reveal a medical team from the Port. Naruto led them through the Fool's Gold to the passenger cabin. The young woman stirred as she was transferred from the bed to an anti-grav stretcher. She looked at Naruto and Hinata in turn. "Thank you for saving me," she said simply.
Naruto smiled and nodded, while Hinata darted forward to plant a kiss on her cheek. "No problem, silly!" Hinata chirped. Naruto nodded at the medical staff, who began to lead Hana out of the Freighter and to the Port's extensive medical facilities.
*I hope they treat her well,* Hinata worried as she waved goodbye from the airlock door.
*The K-Fed picks a lot of fights it doesn't have to, but it takes care of the ones fighting them. They'll work on her physical injuries until there's no trace of them. As for the psychological ones, that's as much up to Hana as her therapist.* Naruto watched the woman until she entered an elevator. Then he closed the airlock door and went for the Cockpit. *Now, detour's over. Back to Olympus. This Tyrenium isn't going to sell itself.*
Hinata nodded and joined Naruto. She watched as he went through the protocol for leaving the starport and cruising out at port speed, absorbing the information in case she had to do the same in the future. On the way to the Nav Beacon, Hinata planned a new course, taking full advantage of her warp tunneling technique. She managed to shave down the trip to a mere 8 days, a feat that Naruto gave her a standing ovation for. Once they'd accelerated into hyperwarp after passing the gravity well, Naruto gave her a much more physical demonstration of his appreciation.
The next week passed quickly. Naruto did maintenance most days, when he wasn't practicing his psychic powers. Hinata did the same, as well as playing with the Holonet reader. At mealtimes, like clockwork, they had sex, and it never got boring. If anything, it only got better each time. They were in love, and every second together was a second with their soulmate. Hana called after a couple days, and both of them got to know her, sharing long conversations with the convalescing young woman.
When they arrived at Alpha Centauri, they found themselves suddenly crowded for space. Hundreds of spacecraft came from every direction, headed towards Olympus Shipyard on the second orbital path around a planet Naruto told Hinata was named Gravitus. Naruto pulled them into the flow of traffic, the Fool's Gold's poor engines having them move at a snail's pace compared to some of the other ships. They were also the size of a snail next to an elephant compared to some of the ships coming in. Hinata gaped as they passed a ship with gun barrels large enough for the Fool's Gold to fly in.
*It's a lot scarier when you're up against something that big,* Naruto warned her.
*How big is an Uzu ship?*
*About 2000 meters long and 16 decks high. So the size of a K-Fed Dreadnought, give or take.*
Hinata blinked. *How much is that going to cost? We may NEED the extra Tyrenium from Karron to build something that big.*
*No idea. I have no idea how to synthesize the main material, it's some kind of superalloy. Tenten will be better able to explain it than I can, once she's enhanced and has a copy of all the schematics in her head the way I do.* Naruto made a minor course adjustment. *It's going to be hours before we're even in hailing distance. We could be waiting here a while.*
Hinata grinned and stood up. She strutted away, hands coming up to cup her own hips. She looked over her shoulder with a smoldering eye, to find Naruto drooling after her. *Then we better find a way to pass the time,* she projected, before sashaying towards their cabin.
Naruto followed after much less gracefully.
A goodly while later, Hinata snuggled closer into Naruto's chest, her gravid stomach getting in the way. *So, how do we introduce me to your war buddy? What's my official role? Navigator? Co-Pilot? Cumbucket?*
Naruto grinned and kissed her hair. *How about XO?*
Hinata blinked. *As in, the second-in-command? The one in charge if you're not around? That XO?*
*Why not? As my Matriarch, you already are my second-in-command, we're just putting it in K-Fed crew structure. Besides, the Executive Officer's first and foremost duty is to lighten the Commander's loads. In that case, you're perfect for the role!* Naruto joked.
*No arguments here,* Hinata sent, rubbing the evidence of his latest load in her body. *But I still claim right of recruitment. They have to meet your approval, but I get to pick out people I want to join the pack.*
Naruto shrugged. *Done. Just know that it just won't be feasible for some, like Hana.*
*Never say never,* Hinata stated stubbornly.
After a brief nap to give Hinata's stomach time to settle, they got dressed and returned to the Cockpit. They'd made considerable progress in their flight and within ten minutes the intercom began to buzz.
"Incoming Freighter, please identify yourself and your purpose at Olympus Shipyard," droned a polite military communications officer.
"Uzumaki Naruto on the Fool's Gold to see Uchiha Sasuke," Naruto replied confidently.
There was a long, drawn-out pause. Just when Hinata was starting to get worried, the intercom buzzed again. "Please approach Docking Bay 47, Commander, Vice Admiral Uchiha will meet you there."
"Well, alright then. He got promoted again," Naruto muttered to himself.
Hinata was wide-eyed. "Vice Admiral? As in, one rank below an Admiral? Naruto, the K-Fed is as good as a militocracy in all but name. Your friend has the same amount of authority as a king of an old country on Konoha!"
"And it pays to have friends in high places, believe me." Naruto stood up to hug her. "Trust me, Sasuke is cool. Don't be intimidated by his rank. Treat him like any other man and he'll respect you for it."
Hinata looked down at her bodysuit, which left absolutely nothing to the imagination. "Not sure I'll be getting much respect in this outfit."
Naruto ran back to their cabin, grabbing his old flight jacket from the closet. He handed it to her. "You'll still have your legs on display, but this should cover the important bits."
Hinata put on the jacket, which smelt comfortingly like Naruto. It made her feel warm inside, that she was wearing yet another piece of his clothing. Still, she was getting a bit tired of the limited availability. "First thing to do after this deal goes through, shopping spree planetside!"
"I think we can afford that," Naruto said grinning. The Fool's Gold glided inexorably past Dreadnoughts and Battleships, before coming to its designated landing area. The old Freighter touched down gently. Naruto and Hinata bypassed the airlock for the cargo bay doors, opening them and walking out into the shipyard. The pervasive lighting made them feel warm.
A young naval officer walked up to them. "Vice Admiral Uchiha regrets he is unable to greet you in person today, Commander Uzumaki. He's in a meeting. I've been ordered to escort you to his office. If you and your companion would please follow me," the young Konoha prompted, before turning about-face and leading them towards the nearest elevator. Naruto and Hinata followed the unnamed aide on a trip through several floors and corridors. Finally, they arrived at an office room. The man stepped behind the desk and pressed a button to say "Vice Admiral? Commander Uzumaki and guest for you."
The double doors behind the receptionist's desk burst open, revealing a striking man in his mid-40s. His hair was a much darker blue than Hinata's, more midnight blue like ink than sapphire bright. His skin was smooth but for wrinkles, and pale almost like he were a worm like Hinata used to be. His left arm hung in a cast underneath a stylish suit jacket, his uniform jacket hanging from his shoulders. All in all, he looked intimidating, like business meets military.
Naruto went into a crisp salute. "Vice-Admiral," he greeted, the corners of his lips fighting to rise.
Uchiha Sasuke barked a laugh and returned the salute. "Commander Uzumaki! Good to see you, man! How long has it been?"
"Retired 11 years now," Naruto said neutrally.
"Sorry I couldn't meet you personally, damnable meeting overran… and who might this young lady be?" He asked, hawk-like eyes a curious shade of red locking onto Hinata.
Hinata gulped but held her ground. "Hyuuga Hinata, Executive Officer on the Fool's Gold. Very nice to meet you, sir."
Sasuke eyed her up and down and, seeing her confidence never waver, deemed her passable. "Call me Sasuke, please, Hinata. Naruto, civilian life seems to be serving you well!"
"No complaints here," Naruto said jovially, reaching out to take one of Hinata's shaking hands. *Relax, babe, he likes you.*
"Let's go in my office and catch up," Sasuke stated, leading Naruto and Hinata into an impressive office. The true feature wasn't the size though, it was the floor-length window showing the traffic coming in and out of Olympus, Alpha Centauri glowing in the background.
"Hell of a view, Uchiha," Naruto commented.
"A touch from big brother, no doubt, but I'm not complaining," Sasuke grumbled good-naturedly. "Now tell me Naruto, what brings you to see me after all this time? I can't imagine you came all this way just to relive old war stories." He smiled good naturedly.
Naruto turned to look back at his old friend. "Tyrenium... 10 tons of it."
Sasuke looked startled before he whistled appreciatively. "Civilian life really has been good to you Naruto."
Naruto glanced at Hinata, before nodding emphatically.
Sasuke tapped his chin thoughtfully. "I'll take the whole cargo if you're willing, just name your price."
"250 million ryo" Naruto replied without pause.
Hinata still had to suppress a squeak when she heard how ludicrously priced the ore really was.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "Done. You know this conflict with the Kumo Empire has us over a barrel, don't you?"
"I read between the lines. And a man has to make a living," Naruto said, holding his palms up as of to say 'what am I to do'.
Sasuke laughed and he reached out to shake Naruto's hand, sealing the deal. "Congratulations, Naruto, you can retire for real now. Credit transfer okay?"
Naruto held out his ryo chit. Sasuke plugged it into his desk and made a few commands. And just like that, a quarter billion ryo was transferred from the Olympus Shipyard Administrative Account to Naruto's personal account. Hinata watched the chit as Sasuke handed it back to Naruto, aware that he now carried a fortune in the electronic device.
"So, I can't help but notice you both have similar ears. Did you finally make some progress on tracking down your father or finding our what he is, Naruto?" Sasuke asked.
Hinata and Naruto traded glances, communicating at the speed of thought. *What do we tell him? I'm fine with whatever you decide,* Hinata assured.
*I'm not sure, I never thought about this kind of situation with people I know when I gave you the ears.*
Hinata eyed Sasuke. *I like him. And unless I'm blind, he likes you as a friend and is attracted to me. We could make the pitch to him.*
*Sasuke? He's way too high-profile!*
*I didn't hear a refusal, just an obstacle.*
Taking matters into her own hands, Hinata spoke. "Naruto still hasn't found his birth father, though he has discovered what species he is. He then… Adopted me into it, you could say."
Sasuke narrow his eyes. "Adopt into a species? Sounds impossible."
"No, just needs the right tools. Naruto?" Hinata prompted.
*One way or another, you won't be able to walk tonight for pulling this stunt,* Naruto projected. "Turns out the Uzu, my people, have the power to radically alter DNA. Hinata and I made the mutual decision to make her an Uzu, so we could be more equal as a couple."
Sasuke blinked. "Wow. That's, incredible. What else can the Uzu do?"
Naruto gulped. He really hoped the room wasn't bugged, but it was too late to stop now. "Uzu have psychic powers. ALL the psychic powers. They're functionally immortal. And they have obscenely good tech."
"How come I've never heard of them, then?" Sasuke challenged.
Naruto sighed. "I was born with an ancestral memory of all the Uzu tech and powers. I… unlocked it after my retirement. To date, I've packed the resources to build any of the tech. But the powers, I've been working on since I met Hinata and she unlocked them for me. As far as I know, Hinata and I are the only Uzu in the Galactic League."
Sasuke leaned back in his chair. "I don't suppose I can see some of these powers?" He asked leadingly.
Naruto shrugged and snapped his fingers. A ball of blue, eldritch flame appeared above his open palm.
Sasuke's jaw dropped. "Holy shit!"
Hinata stood up and walked over to touch his arm through his coat. She focused hard for a minute and then she let go. "There. You're arm is fixed."
"It's been dead weight from nerve damage for eleven years," Sasuke protested.
"Try moving it," Hinata insisted.
The look of shock and then joy that crossed Sasuke's face as the fingers of his left hand moved was a sight to see. Sasuke ripped off the cast and sling, holding his arm out and marvelling at it's every move. Tears came to those red eyes. "I… I don't know how to thank you."
"You can give the offer Naruto is about to give you some serious thought," Hinata answered.
Sasuke turned to Naruto, who looked downright anxious. "Listen man, you don't have to accept this. I'm perfectly okay with walking away and leaving you with the Tyrenium and your arm. What I'm about to offer is weird, strange, downright odd."
"But will result in a lifetime of happiness and contentment, at the very least," Hinata added on.
Sasuke cradled his left arm to his chest. He looked from it to the two of them. "I'm listening."
Naruto sighed. "I can make you an Uzu, the way I made Hinata one. You'll get the psychic powers and the unaging body. But you'll also be bound to me on every level. Mentally, emotionally… physically. This isn't an offer I make lightly, nor one you should take lightly."
"Naruto, I just saw you pull fire out of the air and your girlfriend give me my arm back. I am far past 'lightly', believe me," Sasuke stated.
Naruto sighed. "Okay, but the mechanics of becoming an Uzu are… unconventional. Tell me, do you remember the rumors that went around about me?"
"That you had four balls and were hung like a donkey? That's all in your file. Didn't bother me, but then you never tried to show me either."
Naruto winced. "Well, that's the thing. The way to become an Uzu is… to drink Uzu semen."
Sasuke blinked. "Come again?"
"Three times a day for a full week, you get down on your knees and blow the Commander here. You do that, and you'll transform into an Uzu. If you're anything like me, you'll become addicted and want him to do it all the time in whatever way he wants it," Hinata said brightly, licking her pink, pouty lips.
"Yes, thanks, Hinata," Naruto said drolly. "Like she said, three doses a day for about seven days is enough for the transformation to be complete. But you won't just be becoming an Uzu. You'll be psychically imprinted on me. I'll be able to hear your most intimate thoughts and you'll hear mine. I'll know your every secret and you'll know mine. It's incredibly intimate. For Hinata and I, it led to us falling in love. For you and I, I'm not sure."
"Though there are some changes that his cum makes besides just remodeling into an Uzu," Hinata pointed out.
Naruto winced. "Yeah. It's hardwired in, but the people who drink my cum have their personalities altered on a certain level. I've known Hinata the whole time and I can safely say she's only changed for the better. But I understand how that can be a dealbreaker for some."
Sasuke bridged his hands. "What kind of changes?"
"Bisexual, perpetually horny, no jealousy to speak of. Constantly fantasize about children, extreme discomfort at the thought of Naruto leaving or dying. We're not sure about this one, but lack of guilt over murder might be on the list." Hinata listed them off on her fingers.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "Naruto… this isn't standard Uzu protocol, is it?"
"No. Standard protocol is to amass an army of unthinking Thralls and waging galactic war. I'm trying to gather a team of friends and family to protect the League and ourselves. Hinata liked you, which is why she pressed me to make the offer to you." Naruto gulped. "And now I've made it."
"So to summarize, I engage in oral sex with you at least 21 times, after which I'll be slightly altered in personality, immortal, psychic, and linked to a group mind you're growing with Hinata here. I may not be in a position to leave or even capable of thinking of leaving after such time, so I'll be stuck with the two of you and whatever other people you recruit… forever."
Naruto winced. "Yep. That's about it."
Sasuke looked down at his arm again. "I'll consider your offer. Now, before you leave, there's something I wanted to discuss with you, Naruto."
"What is that?" Naruto asked, wondering what his old CO could need him for.
"The Invictus is being decommissioned. She's going up for auction soon. I'd prefer to see her stay in the family, so to speak," Sasuke said, tapping a few keys on his console. A hologram of a sleek, 500 meter long ship appeared in the air, the name 'Invictus' emblazoned on the side.
"This is the ship you served on?" Hinata asked, recalling hours of Naruto's war stories.
"Naruto for 10 years, me for 16," Sasuke explained. "You never forget your first command."
"Why is she being decommissioned?" Naruto asked.
"Assault Cruisers are old-fashioned, clunky wastes of armor and arms, according to High Command. It's all about Dropships and Carriers these days. I'd save a fortune in gun costs selling her to a Consultant rather than a civilian." Sasuke eyed his former underling. "So, Naruto, what do you say?"
"It's too big for the two of us, or even the three of us. Automation can only do so much, right?" Naruto protested.
Sasuke calmly walked Naruto through various upgrades, renovations, and alterations they could make to modify the ship for a minimal crew. As he talked, Hinata realized this was a pet project for the Vice-Admiral, what he would do if he were in the position that Naruto was now. When he finished, Naruto could only grin. "Name your price," he said.
"150 million ryo and she'll be ready in a week," Sasuke said with a grin on his own face.
Naruto passed over the chit once again and had three-fifths of his new savings yanked. He and Sasuke shook to commemorate the deal, Sasuke using both hands, still not over the novelty of having his left arm back.
"You think about our offer, okay? You find us down on Gravitus or call us or anything, okay?" Hinata reminded gently.
"Will do, dear," Sasuke said. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a lot of work to do."
Naruto gave one last salute, which Sasuke returned, and then the two left the Vice Admiral's office.
Will he say yes and join the fun? Will he say no and turn them in? And whatever will happen to Hana and Tenten? Find out next time on Wolves of Uzu!
