Hello and welcome to another installment of Master of Uzushio. Not much else to say, so let's get to it.
As usual, I own nothing.
AN: There is a mini lemon in this chapter. You have been warned.
Cue Selfrontier by ASCA
Morgan le Fay. Sister of King Arthur and mother of Gawain, Agravain, Gaheris, Gareth and Mordred. Her history is filled with treachery, vengeance and death. Though Mordred was ultimately the one who struck down the King of Britain, it was due to the machinations of Morgan that served as the catalyst to Britain's fall.
And now, the Wicked Witch of Britain has been summoned to the Elemental Nations as a Berserker Servant. Her Master? The former teammate of her siblings Master, Sasuke Uchiha.
After Morgan's...introduction, Sasuke had many questions. All of which were answered by his new Servant. The hidden history of Uzushio, Magic, Magecraft, the Holy Grail War, Command Seals and Servants. From Morgan's explanation, Sasuke was finally able to piece it together. His former friend came from a clan who were the last to summon Servants. Ever since her banishment, Naruko has trained with historical figures throughout history and has acquired powers known only to her clan and those affiliated with them. Once Sasuke learned that, he was furiously jealous. In the Uchiha's mind, Naruko's power should've been his from the beginning. Sasuke had openly mocked the person who brought Magecraft to the world. Unknowingly causing a certain vampire to sneeze while eating a bowl of ramen.
Sasuke then returned to his room in Orochimaru's current hideout to discuss things further with his new Servant.
"So, you're a Servant." Sasuke says. "A Heroic Spirit."
"Correct." Morgan says. "Though, the term "heroic" is used loosely for certain Servants. Case in point, myself. My alignment is Lawful Evil after all."
"And there are seven normal classes for Servants to be summoned." Sasuke says. "A man, a vampire, from back during the age before shinobi introduced Magecraft to the world. Magic is real and has been a part of a history long forgotten."
"Indeed." Morgan says. "Though, I'd imagine Zeltrech only did so out of boredom."
"And the last known clan with the ability to summon Servants...was the Uzumaki clan." Sasuke says with a sneer.
"Judging by your tone, I'd say you've encountered a survivor of Uzushio's destruction?" Morgan asks.
"My former teammate." Sasuke says. He then thinks about the group of women who were with Naruko during their fight. "There were women with her the last time we met. Thanks to you, I now know they were Servants."
Morgan slightly narrows her eyes. "Were you able to identify them?"
Sasuke raises an eyebrow. "All three of them were blond. Only difference was one of them had red eyes while the other two had green eyes. They looked similar to one another. Probably mother and daughter."
Sasuke watches as Morgan seems to be in deep thought. He then comes to a conclusion.
"You know those two, don't you?" Sasuke asks with narrowed eyes.
"I am unclear who the red eyed blonde is." Morgan says calmly. "However, if the other two you described are who I believe they are, it would seem I am due for a...family reunion."
Morgan suddenly stands up and glances to the door. "It appears our conversation will have to be cut short."
Morgan astralizes, just in time for Kabuto to open the door.
"Sasuke, you have an assignment." Kabuto says.
"Where's Orochimaru?" Sasuke asks with a raised eyebrow.
Kabuto frowns. "Orochimaru-sama is still...indisposed. However, he's asked me to pass on your mission for him."
Sasuke stares at Kabuto for a few seconds before walking out the door. Kabuto watches Sasuke walk away before glancing back inside the Uchiha's room.
"I know I heard someone else's voice in there." Kabuto thinks with his eyes narrowed. "A woman from the sound of it. She knew I was outside listening. Though, I didn't catch all of their conversation. All I could get was that those women with Naruko were "Servants."
Kabuto turns his attention back to Sasuke and follows after him.
"I should report this to Orochimaru-sama." Kabuto thinks. "Whatever Sasuke is up to, I just hope Orochimaru-sama's body last until it's time to take Sasuke's."
Sasuke walks through the halls of the hideout. But he's not alone.
"That boy was spying on us." Morgan says through the Servant bond.
"Don't worry about him." Sasuke telepathically thinks. "Neither he nor his master will be alive for much longer. Whatever happened in his last battle left Orochimaru weakened. It won't be much longer until his body gives out on him. By then, I'll be ready."
"So, you've decided? "Morgan asks.
Sasuke narrows his eyes in determination. "Teach me about Magecraft."
It didn't take much time for Naruko and the others to return to New Uzushio. However, the group returned with three new additions in the form of the priestess, Shion, her attendant, Taruho and Shion Servant, Ereshkigal.
When the group returned to the Land of Ogre's, they were met with a gruesome sight. It seemed while Mōryō's ghost army was on the move, the stone warriors demolished the village and nearly everyone in it. Taruho, who was found near death was healed by Sakura. It was a somber mood as Naruko, her group along with the Konoha ninja, helped Shion and Taruho bury the dead. Shion was torn up about the lost of her village, but took comfort when her Servant told her that her Masters people didn't hold her responsible for their deaths. After gathering those who remained of their home, Naruko offered to give Shion, her people, Ereshkigal and Taruho a home in New Uzushio. They agreed.
After saying their goodbyes to the Konoha ninja, Naruko's group returned with their new additions. After which, Hinata took Shion, Ereshkigal and the others on a tour to get them settled in. Something that made their two Servants...uncomfortable. As it turns out, Ereshkigal was inhabiting the body of a girl named Rin Tohsaka, who happens to be the older sister of Sakura Matou nee Tohsaka, the person who BB was based on. It seems that their spirits lived on in their Servant forms and there was a lot of catching up to do.
Naruko and Tamamo returned to the castle to report to Artoria. After giving their mission report, Naruko was about to make good on her promise to hang out with her birth mother. Only for Tamamo to drag her away while stating that she would be borrowing her Master for a while. Both Mordred and Merlin shared a knowing look at the Casters statement.
Once inside Naruko's room, Tamamo put up a barrier to keep anyone from entering or hearing what was about to happen. The next thing the blonde Master knew was her Servant removing her clothes before removing her own, a fierce kiss full of passion and a sudden hardness of her newest addition to her anatomy. Moments later, Naruko and Tamamo were engaged in vigorous sex. Before they knew it, the two had already climaxed four times with Tamamo currently riding on top of her Master/lover. Working on number five.
"More! More, Goshujin-sama~!" Tamamo exclaims as she rides her lover. "You've cum four times now, but your still so hard! The Uzumaki stamina is amazing!"
Naruko can't help but moan along with Tamamo as the vixen gyrates on her lovers dick. Her breast jigging along with her movements. Suddenly, Naruko pulls Tamamo in for a searing kiss as her hip movements increase dramatically. Much to the vixens pleasure. After a fierce makeout, the two pull away.
"Iyan~!" Tamamo moans in ecstacy. "Your dick is being tightly squeezed by your cute, beloved Caster. Is it good? Does it feel good in Tamamo's pussy?"
"Tamamo!" Naruko exclaims as she grabs Tamamo's hips.
Naruko begins to pump harder and faster into Tamamo's pussy. The Caster gains an "O" face as she's overcome by the pleasure.
"I'm gonna cum!" Naruko exclaims. "I'm gonna cum!"
Tamamo moans as she grips Naruko's shoulders hard. So hard that the Casters nails scratch the blonde enough to draw blood. Thankfully, the wounds heal almost instantly.
"I'll cum!" Tamamo exclaims. "I'll cum with you, Goshujin-sama!"
Naruko and Tamamo scream in ecstacy as they cum together. Naruko fills Tamamo up to the brim with her cum. The two pant as they lean into each other.
"...Tamamo. What...brought this along?" Naruko asks tiredly.
Tamamo stays silent as she frowns. Making her Master concerned.
"Tamamo?" Naruko asks in confusion.
"...You're really dense sometimes, Goshujin-sama." Tamamo says. At Naruko's confused look, the Caster continues. "You're surrounded by people who love you. Who want to be with you on this level. Yet you don't seem to notice it."
Tamamo lifts herself off Naruko and stares into her eyes. Her love and devotion clear as day.
"Hinata-san is your childhood love." Tamamo says. "I can live with that. But the others? Nero-san, Kiyohime. Even Mashu-chan. And now that priestess too?"
Naruko watches in shock as tears fall from Tamamo's eyes.
"Even I..." Tamamo sobs. "I love you so much. I don't want you to forget me."
Naruko stays silent. She then narrows her eyes, sits up and hugs Tamamo while caressing her hair.
"I'm sorry." Naruko says softly. "This kind of love is still new to me. Guess that's what happens when you grow up in a village that hates you. After all this time, I still can't read the signs unless someone points it out for me."
Naruko holds Tamamo at arms length as she stares into the vixens eyes.
"But I will never, EVER forget you or anyone else precious to me." Naruko says with conviction.
Tamamo smiles as tears continue to fall. This time in happiness. "Goshujin-sama..."
Tamamo moves in for another kiss...
CRASH!
But is interrupted by the door to Naruko's room exploding. The smoke clears to reveal a very pissed off Nero and Kiyohime. What was scary about the two was that Nero's sword was engulfed in flames, while Kiyohime was literally flaming at the mouth. *If you've seen Fairy Tail's Nastu you know what I mean*
"CA. ST. ER!" Nero exclaims while pointing at Tamamo. "How dare you!?"
"Hmph." Tamamo scoffs. "You're the one who came barging in, interrupt our alone time."
"Praetor's second time was suppose to be mine!" Nero says.
"Ohohoho!" Tamamo laughs. "So, your blaming me for being too slow?"
"Why you...!" Nero growls.
Seeing things about to escalate, Naruko tries to play the peacemaker. "Um... Girl's I-"
"How could you...?"
Naruko, Tamamo and Nero turn to Kiyohime and instantly pale. Flames were literally rolling off the Berserker Servant. Like Tamamo, Kiyohime could live with the fact that Hinata had her Master/lovers first time. But the Berserker and Caster Servants made a vow to themselves that the wouldn't lose to one another when it came to their Master. In Kiyohime's head, she firmly believed that Naruko would come to her before Tamamo. Seeing the two in their current positions made the Berserker feel betrayed.
"You were supposed to come to me next!" Kiyohime exclaims with a hiss. "You womanizer, how could you betray me?!"
Tamamo hides herself behind Naruko while Nero holds her sword at the ready. As for Naruko, she was slightly panicking at her Servants fiery temper.
"K-K-Kiyo-chan!" Naruko squeaks. "Calm-"
"UNACCEPTABLE!" Kiyohime exclaims with her fangs visible.
Outside Naruko's room stood Merlin. Grinning as she watched a few spells being launched out of her Masters room. Along with screams of righteous feminine fury and pain.
"Hehehe! It's like a soap opera!" Merlin says with a giggle.
After the Mōryō incident, Sakura, Temari and the other Konoha ninja returned home to give their report to Tsunade.
"So, Naruko and her team worked with us in defeating Mōryō." Tsunade says.
"When we arrived at Shion-sama's palace, Naruko and her group had already dispatched the team sent to assassinate her." Neij says. "From there, Naruko and her team took point while our team stayed at the rear to protect Shion-sama."
"It did not take us long to reach the temple, where we were confronted by Mōryō's army." Lee says. "While we were dealing with the soldiers, Naruko and Shion-sama seemed to work together to defeat Mōryō."
Tsunade looks towards Neji. "In your report, it's stated that there was an unknown woman who seemed protective of Shion."
"That is correct." Neji says.
Neji glances at Temari and back to Tsunade. Getting the hidden message, Tsunade nods. She then looks towards Temari.
"Temari. What is about to be said here is a S-rank secret regarding Naruko, her clan and the unknown women traveling with her." Tsunade says. "Only you, your brother and the Kazekage are to know of this due to your relationship with Naruko."
Temari blinks in confusion before giving a serious nod. Accepting her nod, Tsunade looks towards Neji. "Continue."
"Understood." Neji says with a nod. "We learned that the woman's name was Ereshkigal. Apparently, Shion-sama summoned her."
Tsunade narrows her eyes. "Were there any specific markings on Shion's body? Possibly, her right hand?"
"Yes." Neji says. "Just like the very same markings on Hinata-sama's right hand. The woman with her was identified as simply BB."
Tsunade folds her fingers. "So, both Hinata and Shion summoned Servants."
Temari raises and eyebrow. "Servants? Something tells me we're not talking about the normal types of servants."
"It's a bit of a pain to explain, but the short version is that Naruko's clan, the Uzumaki's, were the last known clan that had the ability to use something called Magecraft." Shikamaru says. "With Magecraft comes the ability to summon Servants, which are basically legends from the past. The women with Naruko during the mission to save the Kazekage were Servants."
"Wait. Are you saying that Naruko can bring people back from the dead?" Temari asks in shock.
"Not exactly." Tsunade says. "Servants are given bodies of mana, or what we call the spiritual aspect of chakra. They're somewhat similar to the Bijuu in that regard. They have enhanced strength, speed and their bodies are very resilient. On top of that, Servants are given extraordinary powers inspired by their legends."
"Okay..." Temari says dumbfoundedly. "I woke up this morning to help prevent the end of the world. Was not expecting this."
"Trust me, none of us were." Kakashi says. "But as Shikamaru said, that's the short version. Bottom line here is that since Hinata has a Servant of her own, Naruko must've taught her how to summon one. I'd wager a guess that Shion-sama's summoning might've been a stroke of luck."
"Tsunade-sama, didn't you mention something about the Throne of Heroes?" Shizune asks.
"...The what?" Termari asks after a pause.
"A system created long before the age of shinobi." Tsunade says. "Those deemed worthy are recorded in the Throne of Heroes upon their death so they can be summoned by a Master. The Master and Servant are bound together by a contract. Proof of said contract can be identified by strange red markings located on a person's hand known as Command Seals. At least that's what the legends say. Most of the history surrounding Magecraft has been lost to time. It is said that a traveler by the name of Zelretch is the one responsible for introducing Magecraft to the world. No one knows what happened to him. He just disappeared."
"So for all we know, Naruko could summon the Kages of the past back to this world stronger than ever." Temari says dryly. "Glad she's on our side. ...So to speak."
"Naruko's grudge is with Konoha." Tsunade says solemnly. "And I honestly can't blame her. She was alone. Hated and mistreated by the people she protected just by existing. When she finally got some semblance of recognition, the village turned on her for doing her job."
"I think it's safe to say that we all could've done more for her back then." Kakashi says solemnly.
"For now, we have to trust that she is safe and well with her Servants." Guy says. "No one but us knows where Naruko is and even IF someone were to find her, they would have to go through her Servants first."
Lee frowns. "I just wish she knew how much we miss her."
"She knows." Skaura says.
Everyone turns to Sakura who recalls her last conversation with Naruko before returning home.
"Naruko?" Sakura asks.
"Is there something you need, Haruno?" Naruko asks stoically.
Sakura grimaces for a moment before giving a determined frown. "Naruko, could you drop the act, please?"
Naruko stares at Sakura for a moment before sighing. "If this is about me coming back to Konoha, then you're wasting your time. I won't stay somewhere I'm not wanted."
Sakura holds her arm as she looks away sadly. "...I know." At Naruko's raised eyebrow, Sakura continues. "After the life you've had... ...Some of which I had a hand in..." Sakura flashes back to all the times she use to belittle or hurt Naruko. "I'm sorry..."
Naruko frowns at her friends expression. Seeing that Sakura truly regrets how she treated Naruko in the past.
"Do you... miss us?" Sakura asks hesitantly.
Naruko closes her eyes for a moment before looking directly at Sakura. "Every day."
Sakura smiles slightly. "I- We miss you too."
Sakura walks up to Naruko before pulling something out of her pocket. She then grabs Naruko's hand and places the item in it. Naruko looks down in confusion as she see's a small, odd looking homemade charm.
"What's this?" Naruko asks.
"Konohamaru saw you when you came to the village." Sakura says while taking a few steps back. "He wanted to give it to you, but you left before he could. It's from him, Moegi, Udon and Iruka-sensei."
Naruko gasps slightly. She then looks at the unscripted kanji in the charm. "頑張って、ボス!" (Good luck, Boss!)
"Kono..." Naruko says softly as she clutches the charm. She then smiles as she looks towards Sakura. "Thanks for this, Sakura-chan."
Sakura smiles. She then walks up to Naruko and hugs her. Surprising the blonde. Naruko pauses for a moment before hugging Sakura back with a smile. After a few seconds, Sakura starts tearing up. Finally accepting that her friend and former teammate was better off with her new family.
Coming out of her reminiscing, Sakura puts her hand over her heart. "Take care of yourself, Naruko."
Meanwhile in Amegakure, the Akatsuki are having another meeting. Since the incident with Sasori, Madara took the position of Deidara's partner under the guise of Tobi.
"Zetsu." Pain says. "Do you have any leads on the Kyuubi's location?"
"Unfortunately, no. But we do have an update." Zetsu says.
"Well?" Kisame asks. "Don't keep us in suspense."
"Danzo Shimura is dead." Zetsu says.
The news of one of Konoha's elders death causes a few raised eyebrows in the group. Behind Itachi's stoicism however, the rouge Uchiha is concerned.
"That old warhawk finally bit the dust?" Deidara asks. "Thought he was to stubborn to die. So, did someone off him or did he just croak?"
"It was the Kyuubi who killed him." Zetsu says. "Apparently, Danzo had kidnaped her mother and was keeping her alive for the last sixteen years."
Itachi's eye's widen slightly. "Kushina-sama is alive?"
"Ouch." Kisame says with a chuckle. "Seems to me the old man got what was coming to him. Sixteen years alone in a village that hates your guts when you could've had at least one of your parents? I'd be pretty pissed."
"Out of curiosity, who is the Jinchuriki's mother?" Kakuzu asks.
"Believe it or not, it's the Red Death." Zetsu says. "Kushina Uzumaki."
"You're kidding me." Deidara says. "Your telling me the Fourth married THAT woman?"
"Oh my, that's not good." Tobi says. "The Red Death is as much of a legend as the Yellow Flash, right?"
Pain glances at Itachi. "Did you know this, Itachi?"
"Not at first." Itachi says. "I had known that she was engaged, but I didn't know it was to the Fourth Hokage."
"Another valuable bounty lost." Kakuzu says. "The Red Death had a bounty of 1,000,000 back in her shinobi days."
"Is there anything else to report?" Konan asks. "What about the Nibi and the Nanabi?" Konan looks towards Hidan and Kakuzu. "Those two were your assignments."
"Tch!" Hidan scoffs.
"...We hit a... minor setback." Kakuzu says.
Pain narrows his eyes at the immortal duo. "Explain."
"Hey!" Hidan exclaims. "It wasn't our fault! Blame that bitch with the spears!"
Kakuzu growls at Hidan before turning back to his leader. "We had the Nibi cornered and were about to bring her back. Before we could, we were ambushed by two unknowns carrying spears. One was male with blue hair and red eyes. The other was female with long purple hair and red eyes."
"You guys were stopped by two no-name shinobi?" Kisame asks incredulously.
"OY! I'd would've had that bitch if she didn't cut my fucking head off!" Hidan exclaims. "And Kakuzu lost a heart to that other guy!"
"They were stronger than we anticipated." Kakuzu says. "Odd thing was that they didn't seem like shinobi. We would've pursued them, but they vanished with the Nibi."
"Could someone else be after the Bijuu, hmm?" Deidara asks.
"And the Nanabi?" Pain asks.
"After we recovered from the battle, we went after the Nanabi." Kakuzu says. "But it seems she's left Taki. Those two may have gotten to her as well."
"It would seem a new player has entered the game." Madara thinks.
"What shall we do, Pain?" Konan asks.
Pain stays silent as he closes his eyes. After a moment he opens them and looks towards his subordinates. "I believe our next course of action will solved both of our problems. It's been reported that Naruko Uzumaki has made strong allies during her exile. It's too much of a coincidence that two of our targets are missing soon after she resurfaces."
"You think the guys that kicked Kakuzu and Hidan's asses are with the kid?" Kisame asks while ignoring Hidan's indignant "Hey!".
"If that's the case, then drawing out these guys may lead to the Kyuubi herself, hmm." Deidara says.
Pain looks towards Kakuzu and Hidan. "Kakuzu. I want you and Hidan to leek information that you're heading to Konoha to capture the Kyuubi. It's clear that whatever spy network the girl has is impressive. The information will get back to her and she'll either send someone after you or come herself."
"Uh, not that I'm questioning your plan or anything. But do you think it'll work?" Tobi asks. "I thought the Kyuubi didn't have a lot of friends in her former village."
"The villagers and Danzo were the ones responsible for exiling the Kyuubi." Itachi says. "The ninja are another matter. The majority of the shinobi corps were neutral to her. She even made friends with some of the clan heirs."
"That reminds me, Kushina Uzumaki wasn't the only one the Kyuubi took with her." Zetsu says. "The Hyuga heiress went voluntarily."
"Interesting." Deidara says.
"As Itachi stated, the Kyuubi still has ties to her former village." Pain says. "While Kakuzu and Hidan proceed in luring her out, Deidara and Tobi will find and deal with an old thorn in our side. Orochimaru."
"Ha. With pleasure, leader." Deidara says with a laugh.
"So far, we have four Bijuu and half of another." Pain says. "In the end, we will have them all."
While the Akatsuki made their plans, three people were approaching the border of New Uzushio. One is a male with red hair tied back and black eyes wearing a Chinese outfit. The other was also male with long indigo hair tied into ponytail and indigo eyes. He wears a traditional light purple umanori hakama and kimono, light purple tabi and black zori with purple haori and tekkou and carries a long sword.
These two are the Assassin Servants Li Shuwen and Sasaki Kojirou.
The two Servants companion is a petite, tan-skinned kunoichi who wears an orange clip in her short, layered mint green hair that matches her eye colour, which was also orange. Her outfit consist of a short sleeveless white midriff shirt with fishnet armour underneath, long white armlets and fishnet shorts with a short white apron skirt over it. She also carries a cylindrical object in red wrapping on her back.
Her name is Fū. A now former kunoichi of Taki and the Nanabi Jinchuriki.
How these three met was... interesting to say the least. A rebellion in Fū's former village was going on. Even though the villagers treated her like dirt, Fū wanted to protect her home. When she arrived, the former Taki kunoichi was surprised to see Li and Sasaki, two outsiders, helping to repel the rouges. When the rebellion was squashed, the villages leader, Shibuki, confronted them on their business in the village. Needless to say that both Shibuki and Fū were surprised that the two Servants were just passing by when the heard the commotion.
Afterwards, Li and Sasaki had a private talk with Shibuki. When it was over, Fū was once again surprised that her only friend in Taki was letting her go with the two men. When asked why, Shibuki had only said that the two knew what she was and offered a better environment for her. Away from the hateful villagers.
"You guy's sure your... Master will let me in your village?" Fū asks skeptically.
"Your concerns are warranted but unnecessary my dear." Sasaki says. "You have nothing to fear from our Master or the inhabitants of our village. Your friend, Shibuki, wouldn't have trusted you with us otherwise."
"Can't help but be a little skeptic." Fū says. "A coup happens in Taki, you two show up and kill the rouge shinobi, then offer me a place to stay where I don't have to worry about being treated like the plague? And you still haven't told me how you knew about Chōmei."
"That should be obvious." Li says.
Sasaki glances at Fū with a smile. "Our Master is like you."
Fū's eyes widen at Sasaki's hidden meaning. "Which one?"
"Nine." Li says.
"Kurama?"
In Fū's mind lies a blue, armored kabutomushi, with six of her seven tails resembling green insect wings, along with an actual seventh tail, all growing from the end of her abdomen. The stem of the tail is green, but the wings are orange. Her eyes seem to be covered by a helmet-like skull, from inside of which, an orange glow can be seen. She also has spike protrusions on its shoulders and a row of slits on each shoulder, and six legs — three on each side. The legs are also covered by the blue armor, with the exception of extreme ends which are green in color. She has two pincers with three parts on its face, covering a mouth full of sharp teeth. On her back behind her head, she has a large two sectioned horned protrusion.
Her name is Chōmei. The Nanabi.
"Little Larva, you can trust them." Chōmei says. "Kurama may be a bit of a grump, but he's a big softie at heart. Besides, these two have traces of Kurama's chakra inside them. It's been so long since I've seen him that I forgot how his chakra feels. Plus, it sounds like his Jinchuriki is a nice person."
After having her conversation with Chōmei, Fū nods her head. As the group approaches the village gates, they realize they are not alone. Up ahead stands Heracles, guarding the village gates. Also with him is a young pale skinned girl with crimson eyes and long white hair. Oddly enough, the girl is dressed as a magical girl.
Her name is Illyasviel von Einzbern. A Caster Servant and former Master of Heracles.
Just like Ereshkigal, Illya was a Master in a Holy Grail War. However, Illya is a special case. The mind of the Caster is the Illya who was partnered with Heracles, but the body came from a Illya in a different universe. It was somewhat awkward to adjust for the Einzbern. Especially when she found out that she has a "sister" in Kuro. Not to mention that she now has both of her parents and adopted brother.
Illya stops her chat with Heracles as she sees Li, Sasaki and Fū approach.
"Welcome back." Illya says. She then glances at Fū who is intimidated by the Berserker Servants size. "And this is?"
"This is Fū." Sasaki says. "She's a now former kunoichi of Taki."
Illya stares at Fū who looks unnerved by Illya's stare. In Fū's mind, Illya seemed cute, but there was something about her eyes that seemed to look right through you. After a moment, the Caster let's up on her stare.
"I can sense chakra similar to Onee-san's tenant inside her." Illya says. "Which one is she?"
"Seven." Sasaki says.
Fū jumps slightly at the fact that someone else was able to tell she's a Jinchuriki. "Seriously, how do you guys know?!"
"You should know that earlier Cu Chulainn and Scathach brought the two tails here after an encounter with the Akatsuki." Illya says ignoring Fū's question. "Nightingale's currently taking care of her."
"You guys after us or something?" Fū asks warily.
"Far from it." Sasaki says with a smile. "We're simply offering a sanctuary for you and other like you." Sasaki turn towards Illya. "Could you take Fū to the young Master? Once I deliver my report, I'll resume my dutys as gatekeeper."
Illya nods. "Very well." Illya turns to Fū and curtsys. "Welcome to New Uzushio. I am Illyasviel von Einzbern. Caster to our Master."
"Uh... Thank you." Fū says with an awkward bow.
Illya leads Fū into the village with Sasaki following them. Leaving Li Shuwen and Heracles alone.
"Up for a spar, Berserker?" Li asks.
Heracles growls softly as he nods. Causing the Assassin to grin.
As they walk, Fū hears the sounds of Li and Heracles' battle. With the Berserker giving a bellowing cry and the Assassin laughing with a "Ka ka ka!".
"What have we gotten ourselves into, Chōmei?" Fū thinks with a sweat drop.
"I wish I knew, Little Larva." Chōmei says.
Meanwhile at the castle courtyard, Naruko is having her own spar. Her partner? Her own birth mother, Kushina. The red haired woman wanted to get some physical therapy done and what better way than a small spar with her daugther? The two were engaging in a sword fight with two shinai while Musashi can be seen relaxing under the shade of a nearby tree. Dutifully watching over her new Master.
After a few more exchanges, Naruko and Kushina decided to stop.
"Wow, your pretty good with a sword, Kaa-chan." Naruko says.
"Hehe. Well, I didn't earn the nickname "Red Death" for nothing." Kushina says while rubbing under her nose with her finger. She then looks at Naruko with a smirk. "So, how was your alone time with those three?"
"Kaa-chan!" Naruko exclaims with a blush.
Kushina walks to her daughter and slings her arm around her neck. "Aw, there's no reason to be embarrassed. Your father and I were like that at your age."
Naruko sighs. "Tamamo-chan and Nero are one thing, but Kiyo-chan was a another story. Uzumaki stamina's got nothing on Servant stamina. "Go for ten," she yells... "GO for TEN!"
After Nero and Kiyohime found their Master with Tamamo, the two joined in on the love making. After calming down the dragon serpent. Needless to say, Naruko walked with a slight limp earlier.
"Ah. Young love." Kushina says reminiscently. "Still, a foxy housewife, a roman empress and a firey serpent? What's next, a loli?"
"Well, Kuro-chan has been getting a little too clingy late-" Naruko says thoughtfully before trailing off. She then rounds off to Kushina with a red face. "HEY! I don't wanna talk about my sex life with my mom! And I'm not into little kids!"
Kushina grins cheekily as she giggles. "Sorry. But I've got sixteen years of embarrassment to cash in on. Plus, Servants are older than what they appear, remember?"
Naruko pouts as her mother pats her back. Kushina then let's go of her daughter.
"Well, I think I'm gonna head to Ichiraku." Kushina says. "Wanna join me?"
"I'll catch up." Naruko says. "I've got something I wanna work on."
Kushina shrugs. "Alright." Kushina turns to Musashi. "Hey, Musashi! Want some ramen?"
Musashi grins before standing up. "Sure!"
Musashi walks over to her Master and the two walk away.
"You haven't tried Ichiraku Ramen yet, have you?" Kushina asks.
"No. Not yet." Musashi says.
"Well, prepare to be amazed." Kushina says with a laugh.
As Kushina and Musashi leave, Naruko watches them go with a smile.
"So, you're going to work on THAT again?" Kurama asks.
"Yeah." Naruko says. "I think I've almost got it. I'm glad dad left those scrolls for me. I've been meaning to work on it, but with everything that's been happening lately..."
"You would've had it done sooner if you didn't spend most of your time copulating." Kurama says with some snark.
"Hey, shut up!" Naruko says. "You were the one insisting on me doing it with Tamamo."
With a scoff, Kurama cuts the connection with is container. Leaving Naruko to her own devices. The blonde then looks at her right han before focusing her chakra into it. Naruko forms a Rasengan, but not her usual one. This one was small compared to her normal Rasengan. It also seemed more translucent while having what looked like four wind blades around it.
"Now, let's see if I can get it this time." Naruko says.
And done! Recap time! Sasuke now knows how Naruko became as strong as she is thanks to Morgan telling. Sasuke's also making plans on ending Orochimaru while beginning his training in Magecraft. Kabuto is also suspects that Sasuke is planning something. Shion, Ereshkigal, Taruho and a few villagers have moved to New Uzu after Mōryō's army destroyed their village in the attack. Tamamo finally has her alone time with Naruko with Nero and Kiyohime joining in soon after. Sakura and the others make their report on what happened during their mission with Temari being let in on Naruko's secret.
Meanwhile, the Akatsuki have learned about Danzo's death and have discovered that Yugito and Fū have gotten away thanks to Cu Chulainn, Scathach, Li Shuwen and Sasaki Kojirou who are currently in New Uzu and are making plans to draw Naruko out. Illya makes her appearance but is actually the 5th Holy Grail Illya with Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya's body. No disrespect to Fate kaleid liner Prisma Illya, but I'm more use to the original Illya. Lastly, Naruko and Kushina bond a little before Naruko deciding to work on a jutsu she's been developing. One guess what that is.
Next chapter will be the start of the Hidan and Kakuzu arc. Until next time, ja nee!
