Lemon warning.
Amongst other things, welcome back.
~NRK~
Naruto considered their next move. '... Anyone think we could lead 'em away?' He offered. 'If we do that, we can just make a way in. Riful, Isley, Rigaldo, they're not here, there's a couple strong yoma around but they're right on top of the base.'
Irene considered it. 'Well, with that said, how? How far can your energy extend? Outside of a couple of meters, I mean.'
They'd tested it a bit some time before, where Luciela would spar with Sistina on occasion.
So far? Two hundred meters was still good.
'And it can't be Luciela, no one with a crazy yoki signature,' Teresa added as the Awakened Woman nodded.
'It'd be such a bad idea,' Luciela agreed.
'... Then, how about Irene?' Rafaela offered as her student nodded. 'Her yoki isn't known to anyone, hopefully, and even then, she's good at controlling it. At worst, all she needs to do is flare it a bit to gain the yoma's attention.'
'I'd be fine being the distraction,' Irene nodded once more. 'You all can hurry in and grab his weapon.'
'Then, someone else will go with her,' Naruto said with a tone that would see no argument. 'Resa.'
'Gotcha,' the woman smiled. 'If we're really good at this, Irene, we can act like a switch. We'll just sporadically flare some yoki and confuse them.'
'I'd be fine with that,' Irene smiled. 'Still, you all need to be quick, there's no question that the smarter yoma might realize something is amiss,' she frowned.
'Gotcha,' Naruto, Rafaela, and Luciela nodded.
'Alright, Teresa.'
'Let's hurry.'
They vanished, yoki signatures hidden as best they could with their bodies.
The odd yoma only perked up at their general direction but didn't follow, likely considering it to be one of its comrades.
So, the three waited, the odd yoma passing by or lumbering ahead of them for a time before they flinched.
Heads turned and hurried steps followed right after, leaving Naruto grinning.
'Great job, you two!' He said before gesturing with a head tilt. 'Alright, let's go!'
With nods of affirmation, they hurried forward, the three stopping occasionally as the rushing yoma passed but, otherwise, they'd been unimpeded the whole time.
They reached the edge of the huge mound of stone, dust, and rubble, soon after and found a single obstacle there.
Three of them, actually.
The yoma sitting atop the area seemed to be waiting for the others to come back and inform them.
"That's odd," one of them said. "They keep on randomly flaring," a female Awakened Being frowned.
"It is kind of weird but I find it even weirder they all went," a male Awakened Being growled at. "I don't like it… Keep an eye out!" He told the last Awakened Being who nodded before taking off around the area, his single large eye turning every which way.
'Crap, not good,' Rafaela grimaced. 'Irene was right, there's no way to get in without them noticing us,' she told the other two. 'What do we do-Naruto what are you doing?'
The blonde had gotten up with a hum before shrugging. "Might as well make sure there are three less yoma in the world, huh?" Naruto said with a grin as his lovers blinked before grinning.
"I get it," Luciela smiled as she took off her clothes, the blonde clearing his throat as his lips puckered inward. "Hmm~?" She grinned slyly at him, nudity utterly ignored.
Rafaela just muttered something. "L-Let's just attack, please?" She whined with a red face, body covered in distorting yoki.
Naruto cleared his throat one last time as his form burned red.
Luciela just grinned as she began to transform, claws crushing the ground and tails extending out before being covered in mouths. "Let's make this quick," she hissed out, pupils dilating.
The three vanished in an explosion that ruptured the forest floor.
The Awakened Beings's head snapped to the explosion at the treeline.
"What was that?!" The first male said in shock, jumping out of the wreckage of the Main Organization Base to land outside on the slope. "Did you see-?!" He'd begun to say, turning to his female comrade.
And that was all he could get out, head vanishing from his shoulders and alarming the female Awakened Being as Naruto stood behind him, the yoma's head in his hand.
"Man, these guys aren't that tough," he uttered, red falling away as his left arm distorted.
The head exploded a second later.
"You-!" The female began to move to attack, her eyes dilated and an arm of spikes reared back.
Only to find her limbs removed in an instant and a horrid amount of heat punched into her throat that threw her on her back.
Rafaela huffed before tightening her grip above the yoma's chest.
The yoma couldn't even scream before she removed her head by 'burning' through her neck.
"There, done," she said as she tapped her slightly ruined boots against the ground. "Yikes, I might wanna go barefoot from now on," the shorter of two sisters whined.
There was an explosion right between the two, Luciela appearing with the last of the Awakened Being's head in her grip.
"Let's ask him some questions," she grinned, sitting up on her haunches and raising the horrified yoma's head. "Answer, worm, who placed you here? You might live if you do."
"I-It was Riful!" The male yoma revealed quickly. "H-Her and that other bitch with the impossible-to-sense yoki!"
'Roxanne,' the three thought.
So that meant bad news.
"What do you mean?"
"I-I don't know! She just took three of our toughest guys and left us here! She's Riful's left-hand woman right up there with Dauf! Please, let me serve you-!"
His head exploded as Luciela shook away the gore and icky stuff before shrinking down.
"So, that's not good," she frowned as Naruto and Rafaela did, the former not even bothered by her current nakedness. "You were right, we couldn't sense her and that's bad."
"If we can't sense her, that means Roxanne could stroll up to anywhere unknown," Rafaela grimaced. "We need to leave now, I don't want a chance of her finding us here."
Naruto nodded before turning to the rubble. "I'll be back, meet up with Irene and Teresa and meet me by the secret hatch near the river," he whispered to them both before jumping in.
Landing in the broken-down space of the old base, Naruto sighed sadly as he rushed towards his spear.
'I figured,' Naruto thought as he broke through a large bit of rubble to find a set of stairs.
He hurried down, making it into a familiar destroyed cell area where a light punctured through the ceiling and fell over a familiar spear.
"Hasn't changed," Naruto said with a smile as he walked up to it before climbing the pile of rubble it was positioned in.
The feeling in it made him feel nostalgic, like looking at the 'old him' that had awaited his return.
Naruto grinned with a chuckle. "Hehehe, it's been a while, pal," he said as the spear began to glow with a powerful energy. "Hmm… I get it," Naruto told it as he reached out.
The air grew tense the closer his hand got.
"We've got a lot of things to change, bud."
His hand clasped it, the tension dropping completely as he removed his weapon from its planted spot, roots and the like breaking off before leaving a large set of them on it.
"Makes sense," Naruto chuckled some more as he held his heavier weapon over his shoulder. "Can't fight yet," he told it as it throbbed. 'You gained some kinda power,' he could tell.
Likely, using his spirit to empower it over so long gave it something of its own, a 'will' to follow.
The floor rumbled as he nodded.
"Alright, let's go."
He reared back with a grin before thrusting at the roof.
Luciela had cut down another Awakened Being in her human form when the explosion from the old base gained her attention.
"?" She blinked at the feeling, a yoma rushing her from behind as 'something' got closer. "Naru-?"
The Awakened Being behind the woman split in half, a glowing figure landing behind her with a chuckle.
"Sup?!" He asked his older lover happily, Luciela perking up.
"I-I didn't even see you!" She gasped at him before noting the powerful silvery-blue glow about her lover's form. 'He's just radiating spiritual energy,' what had the spear done?
What had it gained to allow Naruto to gain power like this?
"Come on, let's go," he told her as she nodded.
They shot off with explosions of energy, forms quickly covered by Naruto's spiritual film.
~NRK~
Isley's eyes widened as his head snapped around to the east.
'That large presence… It's him!' His eyes narrowed. "So, he's awake once more," the Abyssal One considered his options as the mountain peaks around him laid destroyed, small crossbow bolts puncturing them completely. "I can't approach this harshly," no, something told him that'd he'd need a gentler approach. 'It's been a long twenty years,' Isley thought as he basked in the air atop the mountain.
He breathed in a calm breath even as frost filled his lungs in lethal doses, he smiled comfortably.
'You're not the only one who's realized he needs to be stronger, Naruto.'
He had to, Isley was no fool.
There were threats ahead that he'd need better tactics for.
Naruto being one of them.
~NRK~
Riful's eyes snapped open before they narrowed, the smile on her face becoming fake as Roxanne laid down on a warm stone next to Dauf and her sitting forms.
"He's awake, isn't he?" She asked her 'general', the drill-haired woman laughing a bit.
"Yes, he is," Roxanne answered with a grin. "And his presence has become something rather otherworldly."
'I know,' the feeling was weird to her.
Human, that was what that explosive presence felt like. A human that stood beyond the mere 'pinnacle' of his species.
No, he'd likely become a god amongst men from his spiritual aura alone.
'If I could have him under my banner,' likely, taking over these lands would have been easy. 'And I still haven't figured out what she's hiding from me,' Riful's eyes secretly shifted to the grinning Roxanne's pleased expression. 'You knew already, most likely,' it was something she knew on this occasion.
Roxanne was utterly obsessed with the blonde man-now-Warrior. She held a fascination that bordered past obsession into worship on some level that never comforted her.
It made her reactions to him obvious and easy to see… So, why hadn't she gasped like always when he was 'active'? Why was she so calm?
'She knew about him already,' how long ago?
A week? Two? A month? A year?
Riful had a feeling it wasn't that long, likely, it'd been the same way with their search.
Naruto Uzumaki had stayed hidden for a while but Roxanne knew he was awake for some time.
She didn't know what the other Abyssal One was planning but Riful knew one thing.
Her plans would come about due to Naruto Uzumaki.
~NRK~
Slaying all the yoma who got in their way, Naruto and Luciela had met up with the others quickly before re-introducing them into the spiritual film.
And they'd quickly left the lands of Sutafu, making their way back to the Organization in unknown.
'That spear…' Irene's eyes snapped to it on Naruto's back. 'It's not normal,' she said to the others.
'We told you it wasn't,' Rafaela smiled as her student tilted her head while Teresa blinked.
'It feels so different from what it used to be,' she said to the others who nodded. 'I mean, before, it wasn't so obvious. It was just an odd spear but now… It's got some power in it,' Teresa considered. 'It's got a presence full of spiritual energy.'
'Yep,' Naruto grinned as he bypassed the yoma border. 'For now, I gotta get used to this again and figure out what else it can do,' he considered.
~NRK~
Returning got some fanfare but that was it, they'd come back and quickly found the training grounds where their fellow group members were at.
Along with Lmit.
~NRK~
Now standing in the Elder Council chambers, Naruto blinked in surprise before nodding.
"I guess that'd work," he admitted. "And I can't really back out of my own idea. Fine, I'm fine with this," Naruto hummed. "So, who else besides Luciela and Rafaela?"
"After much conversation," Dae began, smiling. "Uranus, Elizabeth, Irene, Cassandra, and Otie for the ones you know. From here on out, we'll meet every two years to pass along information, news, and new members who you now have the authority to designate. We believe that any who will join on your side can do so through Luciela's blood."
The Awakened Woman perked up. "Wait, really?" She asked. "I mean… In the grand scheme of things, it'd certainly be better than the alternative," Luciela muttered as Rafaela nodded. "Still, are you sending anyone else with us?"
"Yes, there's a Number 3, her name is Rosemary. She hasn't shown herself to you since she's been taking nonstop missions as of late. It'll be good for you all to familiarize yourselves together."
So, half of their group on both sides. "Hmm," Rafaela considered it. "So, is there some sort of quota for Warriors we need to fill? With Luciela's blood, they'll still need training, you know. And, add on, we have to actually set up first," that'd take time.
"... Actually, on that point," Dogin spoke up as Lmit blinked. "No, you all aren't ready for that yet. Simply focus on your ability to set up a homebase," he declared as the Main Elder frowned.
'What is he doing?' Having the group tending to more Warriors' development would be a boon. "Is there something wrong?" Lmit asked.
"Let me ask you, do you think they should be training Warriors or making a name for themselves?" Dogin countered as the other man continued to frown. "If they're to do their main function, they need to focus and not spread their resources. We don't even have a base for them in Mucha, it'll take time, Lmit."
Ah, true, unfortunately. 'If we make them train, it'd cause issues,' sadly, the man was right.
'That's right, you know better,' Dogin smirked a bit. "Unfortunately, we don't have the Handlers to just hand out so you'll all need to collect and pay for your own needs and necessities."
"You won't have any scientific expertise but you all are Warriors with increased healing-Ah, yes, here," the man came over to Naruto while pulling a bag out of his pocket.
Taking the offering, Naruto observed them before whistling. "Oh, these are the Energy-Control Pills, huh?" He grinned. "Alright. So, are there, like, things we need in our base?"
Lmit spoke first. "Well, that'll depend. You don't have 'Elders' or a 'Council' outside of yourselves. You three are the core of this new Organization," he smirked as Dogin's eyebrow twitched. "For now, you need to stack supplies, connections, money, and the basic amenities. I doubt most of you can cook."
Naruto and Rafaela grinned nervously while Luciela smirked.
"Well, I can try but we're still gonna be running on what cash you'll give us for a bit," the Abyssal One said. "And the less said about actually keeping this secret is another thing."
"Yes, that's an unfortunate situation," Dae hummed. "Unfortunately, all we can inform you of is to bribe random individuals to fill the villages with your existence but…" That would be bad and almost impossible.
What with yoma-infestations being at an all-time high.
Naruto hummed. "..." He closed his eyes in thought.
At what to do in this case and how to make this work… Ah, well.
Simple was best.
"Then, we can't be, not yet," Naruto declared with a shake of the head, confusing some of the others as Dae grinned. "The fact remains, we can't set-up a base, not with all the yoma around, and we can't spread word secretly. Not in the old ways of how you guys did it," he smiled. "So, the only way is to bully our way in and get rid of all the yoma we can."
Luciela considered the idea while Rafaela hummed with crossed arms.
The Council were startled but murmured at the idea, Lmit considering it.
"You mean to straightforwardly announce your station?" He asked with a blink.
"I understand what he means," Rafaela said. "Naruto's right that we just… Can't do anything because yoma are everywhere. Right now, that's the biggest issue but if we made it so it wasn't the case, it'd be different. The thing is, we'll be doing more than taking on the ire of the other Abyssal Ones. We have news on Roxanne."
They explained the situation from their small trek and their superiors grimaced.
"So, he'd been correct."
"This isn't good, what if she's searching Alfons?"
"We can't let her find us! It'd be the end of us all!"
Dogin grimaced while Lmit frowned deeply.
'This information isn't good… And that makes his idea the best-case scenario,' unfortunately.
Suddenly, it didn't feel like they had time.
'Priscilla's still in development,' Dogin grimaced. 'And Alicia and Beth are still in need of more training,' the OTHER Project they'd recently come up with over the past month.
They needed far more time.
"Go, do as you must. Sadly, I wish we had time for you to establish yourselves," Lmit said as Rafaela frowned in thought.
"... I wonder if forcing her into a fight wouldn't be the best idea," she said, gaining the room's attention. "The reason we're all so antsy is because Roxanne is currently about and no one can feel her, assumably," Rafaela shot Naruto a look. "But if Riful and Roxanne decide the latter needs to approach us…"
"You mean we just outright fight her?" Luciela considered. "But then, we don't know her new skills."
"But neither does she," Naruto said with a determined expression. "I'm fine with it."
"... Alright, let's try to rock her world again."
"Agreed," Rafaela smiled. "Besides, we don't know how long that'll take. It might take some time for Riful to know what to do but Roxanne will likely not cause friction with her. They've been together for so long but if Riful is also aware of Roxanne's impossible signature-"
"She might be getting fed-up?" One of the Elders considered. "That'd be good, no?"
"It'd mean that it'd create a time-frame of friction, hopefully," Dae said. "It'll have to do," oh, if only he could release the Alabaster Abyss Eaters.
But despite their more impressive strength, Dae didn't know how they compared.
They'd need to pit them against Beth and Alicia for that and the two weren't even ready, or close, for that.
Truly, they needed Roxanne down or gone before they could do much else.
"Alright, when do you want us to leave?" Naruto asked.
"... Give us two weeks and then you'll all head for Mucha. Hopefully, you'll have an idea of a home base?" Lmit asked.
"There were mountains by our old home town," Rafaela grinned. "We can go there. They were said to sport a long series of tunnels that were originally meant for mining but the plan failed."
"Oh, I remember those," Luciela grinned as Naruto tilted his head.
"I wonder if they changed? It's been over twenty years," he added as the sisters nodded.
"We'll have to see."
"Then, our meeting is adjourned," Lmit stated.
~NRK~
"Seriously?" Noel groaned as Sophia did also look a bit anxious. "M-Master, please?"
"Sadly, I don't know if we could take you two," Elizabeth smiled. "For now, you two are fully-grown women and we won't be dead, just doing extra work."
"Still," Sophia began as Uranus grinned. "... Haa, Otie and Irene get to go," she muttered as the woman laughed.
"It's not like any of us chose, it was the Elders," she said with a chuckle.
To the other side, Naruto nodded to the rest of their group, Europa included.
"For now, I guess we'll be busy," Naruto said with a shrug. "And we have so much planning to do."
"And an eventual fight," Sistina uttered with a frown. "For now, polish-up your skills and focus on fighting. You'll never know when she'll attack."
"Actually, I'm gonna try sensing for a different thing tonight," Naruto said with a nervous sweat as Teresa raised a brow. "Roxanne is obsessed with me, trust me, I can sense negative intent. Hopefully, that pulls something up."
"Oh, right," Luciela's eyebrow twitched as Rafaela groaned, the others looking amused. "Goddesses, she is annoying for so many reasons."
"She's really the worst," Rafaela whined.
~XXX~
That evening, Naruto and Rafaela sat in their shared room, Luciela elsewhere.
Sitting in nothing but underwear, Rafaela in nothing but a nightgown and the blonde in some boxers, they held one another on the bed.
"A-Alright, focus," Rafaela blushed as she tucked her head beneath Naruto's chin. 'I-I hope we don't jump things!' It made her more aware of just how naked she was under this nightgown.
Naruto had an idea of where he'd take this after they were done. 'Especially if reading her emotions from here gets us horny,' he burned but had more control now.
He'd had sex, he knew what it was like and loved doing it with the ones he loved the most.
He just focused so he could give Rafaela an amazing experience after this.
"Alright," Naruto held her close, tail curling around her thighs. "Focusing, focusing," he smirked as she muttered something into his chest.
They did focus, though.
They blinked in one another's arms as they entered that mental world once more.
"Alright, where do we go from here," Rafaela asked Naruto as he hugged her some more.
"Well, focus with me, focus on the emotions of yoki, Rafa," he said to her as she nodded.
They expanded their senses in unison, the combination shooting out over the land before they filtered it down.
Focus on the emotions of yoki.
Anger.
Some blips but none of their targets.
Sorrow.
Once again, some more, but none of their…
"Is that…?" Rafaela whispered to him.
"Yeah, I have a feeling," Naruto muttered while holding her apart a bit before pressing their foreheads together. "Not the right one, though."
She let out a breath.
Lust.
They scanned the lands far and wide, the two using Rafaela's more control but 'purified' yoki as a base-
"Found her," they said in unison, eyes opening before they looked in a specific direction to the west, to the lands of Lautrec.
"She's by Riful and, seemingly, she can't sense us through this channel," searching through emotions was new but it meant it was a possible avenue neither group knew about yet.
Especially Roxanne.
"Alright, well, we learned something amazing," Naruto chuckled embarrassed as Rafaela's cheeks burned the brightest of reds. "Now," he whispered as he cut it off.
Their senses shrunk back to just them and Naruto chuckled some more before holding her chin.
Rafaela moaned softly as he kissed.
It continued outside the mental realm.
With the door determined closed, their friends doing their best to not be around here, and Naruto's spiritual energy quickly spread around them… It was time.
Rafaela blushed as Naruto held her closer as her mouth allowed itself to become victim to his, the woman moaning some more as his hands slid down her back.
They rubbed her while keeping her close, tail sliding up her thigh, as they kept going.
Tongues slipped around one another and slicked each other up as the kiss continued.
Her hands ran through his hair as she pulled herself up, pressing their foreheads together more and placing herself into his lap.
They moaned some more before separating with a trail of saliva between them.
They swallowed the sweet and savory tastes on their tongues before Rafaela gasped a bit, jumping in his lap before his hands made a bold move.
She burned as they rested on her backside and held her down, the feeling of his restrained member pressing against her crotch sending a jolt up her spine.
'Alright, take this easy,' Naruto told himself with focused eyes that left Rafaela feeling embarrassed beyond belief.
'H-He's so vicious,' she thought before moaning as he massaged her ass. "T-This is a new side!" Rafaela squeaked as she held his shoulder, her lover's eyes blinking before he grinned.
She burned more.
"H-Hehe, I know, I just want you to like this and I'm kinda still new to it," he admitted to her as his eyes went downward. "But I know some stuff works-"
"What-?" She tried to ask him.
And screamed as he nibbled on a nipple through cloth.
"Ahh-!?" She barely covered her mouth as her hips aggressively ground against his, Naruto's tongue and mouth taking her mind and breath from her as he sucked on her clothed breasts.
Each one sent a flinch and burst of pleasure into her core and mind.
Naruto gave it only a few sucks and licks but Rafaela felt like he'd made a mess of her for hours.
Naruto grunted as he felt the warmth of her sex grow wet, their pressed-together crotches making it easy to feel and the smell made him aware.
He held onto her butt as he made sure to rub against her sex, Rafaela's eyes flickering and dilating as he did.
The blonde man pressed her against him, looking up at her a bit before kissing her chin.
Rafaela snapped out of her lust-filled daze with a blush, looking down at the smirking blonde in so much embarrassment.
Naruto drank it all in as she held his face with shaky hands before pressing their lips together.
The feeling of nervous but excited lips set his soul ablaze, gently holding onto her butt before giving it a couple rubs.
It spasmed beneath his gentle touches and the blonde man made sure she was distracted on both ends as she pressed their lips deeply, moaning as she did and just allowing him full control.
By the end of it, she released him and just gasped with their foreheads held together.
"I-I might have c-cum too early," she wheezed out in embarrassment, the feeling of Naruto's cock sending an ache into her lower half that needed to be dealt with. "I-I'm so fucking horny," Rafaela whined as he chuckled.
"I can tell," he said as his cock throbbed painfully against her stomach. "I really c-can," Naruto groaned a bit at the feeling.
He bucked a bit and Rafaela moaned again.
"T-This is so crazy," she uttered.
"I know, hon," he chuckled.
"W-What should we do now?"
"... follow my lead."
"What-?" Rafaela began to say only to gasp as Naruto pushed her down onto her back, her legs locking around his hips on accident. "?!"
He chuckled before kissing her again, cock a mere inch above her nightgown's moist skirt.
"Mmm~," her mouth made noises she hadn't planned on, this was so perverted.
Naruto's kiss pressing hotly against her tongue, his toned body above her, and just the fact that her legs spread without hesitation.
He had every right to violate her body.
By the end of the kiss, he held her cheek with an embarrassed grin that empowered her.
And then he went lower and sucked on her breast again, sending screams into the air as he massaged her other tit with his right hand.
The left one pressed down possessively by her head as she let out lewd yelps, hands slapping onto his shoulder blades.
Her hips lifted and pressed his clothed erection into her stomach as he kept on sucking.
It was short and concise, Naruto sucking on it as he leaned back before letting go.
Rafaela's flower hissed in want. "I-I want to do it now!" She squealed at him as Naruto blinked at her before leaning back onto his knees and undoing his boxers's buttons.
"Alright," he told his lover as he undid it and allowed his cock to emerge.
Rafaela knew what it looked like but just the sight of it now, engorged with blood and stiffer than a board, made her body warmth rise.
He opened up her legs before noting the look on her face.
With her hands covering her mouth, her red skin, and just the sheer look of embarrassment but anticipation had him twitching again.
'Oh no,' she made him want to do more foreplay. 'Just a bit more,' Naruto's mind raged with ideas from Jiraiya's books before landing on a simple one.
Rafaela blinked as Naruto raised a clawed finger and cut up her nightgown.
Any mortification she would have felt would never settle, her mind was too occupied with the lewdity of the upcoming sex.
And yet she was pleasurably denied as Naruto sat between her accepting legs again-
She tightened her grip over her mouth as he sucked on her nipple, the feeling of direct contact causing her to climax.
Naruto hadn't care, his cock pressed against the top of her sex, he'd simple sucked and licked as Rafaela's back arched in erotic ways that kept sliding the underside of his erection against her.
It was painfully pleasurable, just slamming into her was repeatedly reinforced as she kept on rubbing.
But Naruto Uzumaki was a strong and patient man, he'd been a sage dammit.
He knew about patience.
He released her left nipple with a flick of his tongue, Rafaela's body temperature rising in impossible ways-
Naruto's breath hitched at the warmth on his cock before he pressed his hands down by her head, the feeling of vibrating warmth leaving his hips weak.
"W-What?" He swallowed the sweet taste of her breasts before grunting with another buck of his hips, that heat rising again and leaving his cock comfy. "I-I didn't slip in, did I?" Naruto said out with breathy language, looking down to see that, no, he hadn't.
But the distortion by their crotches had him groaning again as he realized what had happened.
Rafaela just moaned behind her fingers again as he leaned down and rolled his hips, the lack of actual sex not stopping her in the least.
Naruto hissed before one hand came up and forcefully moved her hand-
Blue eyes shrank as his cock somehow hardened further.
At the wide-open, leaf-like longed-out tongue, blushing expression on Rafaela's face.
Something 'clicked' within his mind.
He led with his tongue against hers before he was molesting her mouth with his own.
That was just it, pure-on abuse of her tongue as he sucked, licked, pressed, and lapped against it with her own.
At some point, her legs trembled before latching around his waist the more he did this.
His eyes fogged over but his focus on her, his lover, Rafaela Uzumaki, was ironclad.
Spiritual energy thrummed against her tongue before her eyes shrank as the abuse continued with warmth in her mouth that resonated with her energy.
Naruto's hands moved as he pressed against her heavily, coming down to grab her ass as he pressed Rafaela's hot form into the bed.
The repeated molesting of her tongue left Rafaela's mind blank as she responded back with as much passion as she could. By the end, they were dry-humping like a pair of dogs.
She came again, was that the fourth time?
They gasped in unison, the 'heat' dying down as she cooed at the feeling of Naruto's hot seed splattered over her stomach.
Their breaths unified on an impossible level as their energies thrummed as one, the two resonating on a primal level.
Rafaela moaned loudly as Naruto pressed their foreheads together, their eyes locked.
Silvery-blue to silver, their eyes glowed with a sort of constantly glowing energy that entranced the two to one another in that moment.
Their bodies filled with energy before their stamina followed.
Second energy-filled winds pushed them into action.
Naruto leaned back while Rafaela locked her arms around his shoulders. Sitting in his lap once more, bodies growing hotter and breaths releasing small huffs of steam, they loosened one another a bit.
Allowing his cock's head to rest against her pussy's entrance.
"..."
"..."
No words passed between them as Naruto braced his hips and Rafaela locked her arms around his shoulders.
He slowly parted her lower petals as he found a 'new home' within his other lover.
"Mmmmm!" She moaned as he grunted with every amazing 'grip' on his erection, his fiance tightening her embrace and stuffing her face into his shoulder as he gasped at the heat.
God, it was so warm and snug inside of Rafaela.
They gasped with each inch before he groaned as he stopped, the two of them fully-connected.
On every level.
Rafaela moaned and his heart hummed in response.
Naruto let out a breath as her energy buzzed.
The two shifted before their foreheads touched once more.
And then Naruto slowly pulled out.
Rafaela's face contorted erotically and Naruto grinned with hunger.
He kept going until just the tip was inside, the man grunting as her lower lips clamped and sucked so powerfully he nearly couldn't move.
It had him gritting his teeth as Rafaela made that face.
Her tongue out.
Naruto pressed her down into the bed before hilting himself once more.
Another face, one with half-lidded eyes and a perverse grin.
He pulled out and thrust in once more.
Another. An expression with nearly rolled eyes and mouth set in a wide scream.
He kept on pulling out, the powerful grips of her sex not stopping him before he abused them again, cock warmed from the head to the base as he growled.
More. He wanted it deeper.
His mind flickered.
His hands came around to her thighs and pushed them down.
With her weakened grip, Rafaela couldn't stop him… Yet she giggled knowingly at him, covering her grin in preparation.
Naruto pushed down on them and her legs spread perfectly.
He thrusted.
And Rafaela's back arched, breasts bouncing in view as the blonde rolled his hips.
She screamed bloody murder through her mouth-covering fingers as he sucked on her breast while thrusting again.
No part of her was safe as he let go and grinned that amazingly expressive grin of his, that one that let her know he was FUCKING her and would KEEP doing so.
Her, his wife.
The emotional eruption had her climaxing as he kept pulling out and thrusting back in, cock sending more emotional jolts up her spine and into her mind.
At some point, he'd gripped around her thighs with his arms as kept thrusting.
He hit every spot that mattered as she arched up and climaxed again.
And again.
Naruto grunted as he pressed as deeply as he could, hips taut as he finally climaxed.
The fullness in her belly made her more 'love drunk', Rafaela's giggles gaining his gasping attention.
Her finger let her grinning mouth to splay over her stomach as if rubbing it.
"Hehehe, a baby~," she said without thinking.
Thinking of what he'd do to him if she said that kinda stuff.
That original 'click' BROKE as the blonde's tail wagged happily.
He pressed her down and kept thrusted powerfully, Rafaela gasping, laughing, and squealing in euphoria as he met her enthusiasm with enough of his own to flood the room.
"D-Dammit, you beautiful woman!" He growled as he kept thrusting, his forehead against her own and Rafaela's pleased expression had him rolling his eyes.
Her arms wrapped around his shoulders one last time before they kissed to end it all.
A pair of climaxes that truly set in as heated hips hit a crescendo and their love reached a new peak.
They stayed like that for a bit, lips pressed, eyes closed, and foreheads together, as they rode out their 'finales' before they let one another go and just stayed like that.
Hugging with their foreheads together.
"Heheh, love ya," Naruto grinned as she did.
"I love you, too," she shot back.
Riding the emotional high was a curious thing, adjusting with only a small blush, she hummed as they kept on hugging.
Ten minutes of basking later, they'd gotten into the shower of the room-
Naruto reached around and held onto Rafaela's thighs as he slipped into her from behind, the redhead moaning as he bit onto her shoulder while water fell over their backs.
They had fun before finally cleaning up and getting dressed into nightclothes that copies their previous ones save for Naruto now bearing a tunic.
With the two of them laying down… With the two of them removing the sheets and then laying down, Naruto grinned as he held her close.
"Well… That seems about right for a 'sendoff'," he smiled as she chuckled with her hands around him.
"Yeah, I think you're right," she grinned.
~NRK~
The following morning, the two chuckled nervously in front of a grinning Luciela, eye-twitching Sistina, and blushing Teresa.
"Yeah," the two admitted with sheepish grins, Rafaela looking absolutely radiant.
"Well… At least you're better than this one," Sistina uttered while pointing at the proud Luciela. "Goddesses, I think with these new changes, I need to go and solve some stuff," she cupped her chin at her thought.
Teresa blushed more, much to Sistina's smirk.
"Well, with this dialed away…"
"Yeah, um, time for some full-on focus," Naruto grinned.
~NRK~
The rest of the next two weeks were just that.
Planning, financial ideas within their group, mapping things out, and then the eventual confrontation.
The day before they would leave, Naruto nodded to the others in the cafeteria.
"So, with this, we have some ideas," Naruto considered as his fiances nodded beside him.
Clare pouted as Galatea tilted her head.
"You're going to fight the Fourth Abyssal One?" She asked them.
"We're prepared to," Luciela said. "Right now, we need to injure Roxanne if she comes too early."
"And if she comes way later, life would be easier," Rafaela tapped at the table. "We've already set up a route to a sectioned-off area so we don't include civilians but we don't know what her skills are. Roxanne's a master of yoki synchronization, manipulation, and control. She was leagues ahead of us even before she Awakened. We'd only edged things out due to odd training Naruto had us do. For now, we've trained as much as we can but she apparently has as well."
"It's going to be a really crazy fight," Naruto added.
"T-Then shouldn't you get everyone?" Clare asked with a worried look.
With their time together, Clare really liked this group of theirs.
They were kind, mature, friendly, smart, teachers, and warriors in every way.
They helped her in ways no yoma or human ever had over the past three years.
She cared about them.
"We can't, it wouldn't be safe," Luciela smiled at the girl. "It's fine, though, we've got way too much to lose if we do. Can't let that happen," she grinned as Clare's cheeks puffed out more before Teresa's hand found her head.
"I'm also worried, too, but I hope this goes our way," the Number 1 said with narrowed eyes. "Because I will find her, myself, if something does."
"You and us both," Sistina nodded with crossed arms. "Still, you three, Uranus, Elizabeth, Irene, and the Number 3… We still haven't met her yet-"
"Yo~," came a voice as a pair of steps came up to them. "Pleased to meet you," this Warrior said, the symbol on her neck plate letting them know who it is.
The Number 3, Rosemary.
She had chin-length platinum blonde hair that swept to the side with a couple fringes. Bearing a slightly angular face, she tilted her head at the group.
"Wait, what?!" She balked at them, looking around at each person there save for Galatea. "H-How do you guys… W-Where'd the hair come from?!"
"... Oh, right," Naruto blinked. "Wait, did you just come back from another mission?"
"Uh, yeah?"
"Well…" They explained the situation to the Number 3.
After some thought, she blushed. "Um… You touch them-"
"No! Don't get that twisted!" Naruto said instantly as the older members of their group smirked or laughed. "It's just my hand, on your shoulders, and me doing energy mumbo-jumbo to help you guys out!"
"Never heard put like that before," Noel snickered as Sophia smirked. "But he's not wrong, it's about that much. W-We even grow hair, too!" She added with a grin.
Rosemary's hand came up to her hair before looking hesitant. "... Hmph," she shook her head. "And there are no problems?" She asked.
A minute or so later, Rosemary stared at him in utter disbelief as she held her hair and pulled out a single strand to look at it.
At a blonde lock of hair, black eyes staring at it in total relief but confusion.
"What?"
"Just some weirdness I bring with me," Naruto grinned.
~NRK~
The obvious idea was to move unknowingly so no one connected their spots.
His signature had already been felt in Sutafu so, hopefully, there'd be a high chance that yoma under Riful and Isley's commands would go there and nowhere else.
Reaching the border, there'd been some point to the idea as there weren't any yoma.
They'd gotten past without issue.
Rosemary was startled by this film's ability to pass thoughts and utterly baffled that the others would just… Accept it!
As they traveled more and more, she was nervous about just how casual they were about it. The only thing that had them stepping, on occasion, were Naruto and Rafaela's dual sensory skills with Elizabeth 'minding the rear' in the same department.
'Why are we moving like this?' Rosemary grimaced as they landed in a clearing before Luciela brought out a map.
"So, we should be almost at the middle of the center section," the Abyssal One said with a hum as Irene looked at the map. "If it's like this, we need to just keep going down. We've passed one border but we don't know if the next one is going to be as sparse."
Putting it away, Naruto nodded. "Alright, remember, guys,-" He smiled. 'Thoughts only.'
They took off again, Rosemary stumbling a bit as she followed without a thought.
'W-What the hell is actually going on?!' She asked Uranus who hummed before tilting her head. 'Are we just going to accept stuff like this as normal?!'
'... Yep,' the gruff-looking woman declared with a shrug as Rosemary's eyes went flat. 'You're giving it too much thought… Pun not intended.'
'Please don't make a joke about this, this is seriously weird.'
'I mean, it is,' Elizabeth smiled. 'But it's not a bad thing, Naruto's skills have always had a thread of connecting people or things, this isn't as surprising as you might believe.'
Rosemary had an issue with that.
Still, ten hours into their journey, they kept it going before reaching the second border, the one between the southern quadrant and middle one.
'Nothing…' Naruto and Rafaela's eyes closed, Rosemary balking as a space of blue world slipped below her feet. '... And Roxanne's still by Riful, all the yoma around here got moved to Sutafu?' Naruto blinked in surprise while Rafaela frowned.
'That seems odd,' she told the others. '... Okay, so, first things first,' Rafaela began as Naruto put down his bag and she opened it up. 'Time for a change of uniform,' she smiled.
Naruto grabbed his own before heading off with a hum, the group dropping their cloaks off in a pile.
Ten minutes later, they held their old clothes underarm.
Their new uniform was now composed of metal and leather thigh-high black boots, a skin-tight black bodysuit, and thin black vests with a yellow spiral insignia.
Their arms were covered by an assortment of leather latches and dull silver forearm guards while small silver pauldrons sat on their shoulders.
Naruto, meanwhile, had donned most of the same attire but with a few alterations.
Wearing only normal leather boots and pants, he'd come with a pair of throwing dagger holsters on his thighs as his spear stayed planted in the ground by their cloaks.
Adjusting his forearm guards, he nodded. 'Well, we're certainly the opposite of Claymore with all these hair colors,' Naruto smirked as the others either chuckled or adjusted their pauldrons.
'It's a bit heavier,' Rafaela said as her sister finally left the woods in her own personal attire. 'What about you, sis?' She asked the Abyssal Woman with a tilt of the head.
With Luciela's situation, it was kind of a moot point to be hiding her and Naruto's presence, what with their signatures, hair color in Naruto's case, and just the 'reason' for why they were here, Luciela had been given clothes that were good for her transformations.
That being a pair of toeless black stocking, a similar but thicker bodysuit to the other women of their group with a thick slit in the back for the eventual 'tail usage', a series of elastic bands around her biceps and thighs, and a thick belt around her waist, the only thing that would 'hide' her was a large conical straw hat that Naruto had suggested for her.
The Elders had never looked at him so weirdly but he chalked it up to how odd of a concept it was.
Rosemary was the same as her eyes squinted at the Abyssal One. 'So, she can apparently transform and that will hold?' She wasn't exactly a fan of that one.
She couldn't trust something that had been, and still was, their organization's enemy for so many years.
Not like all these others who seemed so lacking in that regard!
'What is wrong with them?! She's been designated the Abyssal One of the South!' Rosemary couldn't believe their attitude to Luciela. 'And then there's… him,' her eyes went to the chuckling Naruto currently putting his cloak back on. 'Elder Dogin isn't a fan.'
"I don't trust him, Rosemary, neither Naruto Uzumaki or Luciela Uzumaki," Dogin grimaced as he spoke with her in a private chamber. "And the less said about their useless Elder, Lmit, the better. The man has no control over them! Letting them do as they please without a hint of suspicion!?"
Rosemary frowned. "Still, sir, it's been over thirty years since they've been with us, hasn't it? That's what we'd been told," she said.
"Hmph, perhaps but to allow the Abyssal One, Luciela of the South, to roam unrestricted isn't intelligent."
Rosemary's eyes widened at the designation while Dogin grimaced with a nod.
"The Council has decided to give her the title as she will now reside in Mucha's lands."
The man had pleaded with her to make sure that she kept tabs on the two Awakened.
'Can I beat the two of them?' Her mind told her that she was Number 3, it shouldn't have been impossible to at least fight Naruto Uzumaki to an end. 'But he has that 'Awakening',' something her fellow Warriors had decided to call it.
Naruto Uzumaki's abilities were so weird to them but they could usually figure out most of them, especially because the man wasn't even afraid to share which did cause a bit of hesitation at times.
But, in that vein, they considered his 'red form' his true Awakening. It had to be.
His increase in attributes only made sense if that was the case.
"Alright, let's go," Luciela smiled as she pulled up a face mask along with the others. "Oh, this is gonna be weird for people, huh?"
"Definitely," Rafaela said with a grin.
They took off again.
~NRK~
The amount of towns they'd passed that held yoma was almost surprising.
"A quarter of them?" Rafaela said in surprise as they all stopped atop a cliff near their chosen 'home base'. "I-I thought it'd be worse."
"The further south we went, the less we've seen," Luciela crossed her arms. "I mean, in that case, it's nice. I think it's because those two don't want to spread their forces so thin. The West, Center, and East aren't exactly small, either."
"You'd think yoma were never-ending but this is kinda encouraging," Elizabeth nodded. "If things can be like this, we might be able to actually clear things out."
"We have a good place to start," Cassandra nodded. "So, we're heading to those mountains, right?" She pointed across to said landmarks with a large town between them. "And man this place is big."
Looking down, Rafaela, Luciela, and Naruto balked. "When'd it get so big?!" They said in disbelief as the others blinked.
"Wait, what?" Uranus asked as Otie cupped her chin.
"... No wonder," she said as they looked at her. "Think about it. If you knew of a place with FAR less yoma than everywhere else over the past ten years, wouldn't you go there? It only makes sense."
That was true but then that meant more chances for yoma, no?
"... There's something odd here," Naruto frowned. "There are five yoma here and they're all in only one part of the town. I don't… They seem so calm and satisfied… Guys, let's go put our stuff down before heading here. I think I know the first thing we should do."
~NRK~
Reaching the mountain trails, staying in the shadows the entire way, before finding a cave high up to place their things in.
"Alright, this seems good," Naruto said with a nod at their gathered things before rubbing the back of his head. "God, we have a lot of work to do."
"It seems so," Cassandra agreed with a nod, pulling down her mask. "So, what's the actual plan? Are we just going to go in and kill them? Ask around? Reveal ourselves?"
Naruto considered it. "... Nope, we'll rest for a bit. If I so much as feel them getting hungry in that time, I'll hurry ahead. On that note, once we're fully-rested, I'd like us to clear out the yoma in Kyte, our hometown, and the villages/towns around it. If we do it this far out, we can control how much presence we have so far," he smiled. "Get some rest, girls, we've got a full day ahead of us."
With that said, their current situation didn't leave them with a lot to do.
"In that case, how about a few of us go and scout the area?" Uranus offered as Naruto nodded.
"Alright, take who you want with you to check the outside. I wanna check what's inside these caves," he told her.
"Gotcha. Eliza, Otie, let's head out," Uranus nodded with a smile as her chosen scout members followed after her.
"Maybe we'll find something interesting," she told Cassandra who nodded.
"Be safe," the Number 2 smiled as Otie grinned.
Once they left, Rosemary raised a brow.
"So, you want us to reveal ourselves instantly?" She asked the male blonde who nodded.
"There's no point in hiding," Naruto said with a sad smile. "And we can't operate so lightly. These lands need to be cleared of as much yoma as possible so we can work with the people and make Luciela known as the top dog."
"I mean, when he puts it like that," Luciela considered. "I'm really about to be propped up as Yoma Supreme and that's what we're banking on," she said with a flat expression as Rafeala rubbed the back of her head. "Still, it's all for the sake of the lands and our people. We have to do everything we can to help them."
"Yep," her sister smiled. "And, for now, we need to check out these caves. Anyone else coming along?" Rafaela asked as she, Naruto, and Luciela began to walk off.
"I'll stay," Cassandra said with a roll of the shoulders. "I'll just get more rest ahead of time."
"I'll do the same, Mistress," Irene nodded, sword placed in the ground and her back against it. "Please, explore, we'll be ready in case of anything."
"Thanks, Irene," Rafaela smiled as her student did. "Alright, I guess we should make sure to limit this. We do want to rest still."
"Well, how far do we really need to go? If I'm remembering correctly, this place has to have been abandoned for over forty years," Luciela considered as the three of them began to walk off. "And never mind that if we consider all the things we need, we really don't need the entire system."
"How about we actually see if there's anything useful for the next hour and then come back?" Naruto offered.
"Sounds good."
"Same," Rafaela nodded with her sister.
As they left, Rosemary's eyebrows furrowed as her senses snapped to the three. 'I should have gone,' but now that wasn't possible.
Still… Her eyes opened and went to the resting Cassandra and Irene. 'The Eighth and Second,' her eyes narrowed at the second number, no pun intended. 'I need to find out where their alignment lies,' the amount of powerful Warriors Naruto Uzumaki had gained the favor of…
It was unbelievable to a rather large degree. Why did they care for this one man so much? What could he have possibly offered them to gain such loyalty?
Her cheeks at that possibility. 'There's… T-There's no way,' there'd be no end to such a thing, he'd have likely slept with the entire base, no?
And wasn't he quote-unquote 'dating' the Sisters? Hadn't she heard something about fiances?
Something within her twinged and she grunted with narrowed eyes.
'I need to find out,' Rosemary thought. 'This man is too dangerous.'
~NRK Out~
