Hello all and welcome back to NOG and to the start of this fic's take of the Wave mission and Naruto advancing himself further with some twists being thrown in.
This chapter also has Naruto clashing with the team of assholes aka Team 10 and this will be another of quite a few more instances since Naruto won't be removing any of them for a while yet.
Also, I have decided this will be the first of a series, though how long this story will be and when I will do the first sequel to it afterwards is unknown. Some locations for them include Overlord, DC, Kingdoms of Amalur, Skyrim, One Piece, MAR, Dragon Age, World of Warcraft (though I was EXTREMELY tempted to do Warcraft 3 just so I could have him take on Archimonde but there is more he can do in WoW including going against Archimonde in the Caverns of Time instance which I decided was good enough to skip 3 and go to World), and a few others. Before anyone asks, yes he will keep all the women he gets in this one but each subsequent sequel will be more focused on him and the new women he will gain than him and his current women.
For those wondering, those sequels will basically be Naruto's "New Game +" that lots of awesome games have that basically let you start the game over with all your stats, levels, items, abilities, and everything else intact while letting you grow even more powerful through your new journey. However, if Overlord is chosen then it will HAVE to be the first sequel if the second of the two options I am stuck between is chosen: 1) Have Naruto be sent there by accident and he works with what he has there and takes over before finding a way to move the Overlord Lands to the Elemental Countries or 2) Some catastrophe/calamity occurs (as is the video game way) and Naruto transports his people to the Overlord realm where he will reestablish his domain and then he will consequently go to the other worlds afterwards. And when I say his people, I mean he moves all of Whirlpool and those loyal to him.
I went back to last chapter to add Sand to the list of sub- elements since I forgot to add it so when you see it listed next time, that's why. For those curious, it's a combination of Earth and Wind.
Oh, for those that read my other fics and are chomping at the bit for an update on them, believe me I AM TRYING, but they are taking a long while and I have started writing each one, not by choice as I have to write what my brain gives me, so I am working on updating them.
Also, someone asked me for an idea of Naruto's physical strength and the stats' basic levels. Basically he needs 500 points in strength to match Tsunade's monster strength technique without the aid of chakra and that is being able to catch her fist and not move since his strength is equal to hers, that's the best measuring stick that I can think of. For intelligence, the average Nara would have a score of 300. The demonic Chakra capacity is 100 points per tail and it is how much of Kyubi's chakra he can use without going berserk or taking damage when his own gets low. For regular Chakra capacity, Hiruzen has about 250 at the moment but that is due to his age and weakened body whereas someone like Itachi has about 200 since he is still young and is weakened thanks to the disease he has. The others you're kind crap out of luck since I couldn't think of/find a good enough example to give you an accurate idea.
Next, there isn't a level up in this chapter, but I don't know if that will continue to be the trend at times, so I wanted to know if you guys want me to do the listings every chapter that has a level up for Naruto regardless of how many chapters it is in a row or just stick to doing it every other chapter? Let me know since regardless of the decision there will be listings next chapter.
For the one asking stuff about Danzo and his willingness to suddenly aid Naruto and everything, let's just say it has something to do with the things he keeps "under wraps" and they aren't exactly what you guys think they are.
Lastly, I went back to chapter two and made a change to what I put involving the Inherent skills getting points per level as I hadn't been keeping track of it SINCE chapter 2. So, I went back and removed the mention of it and will be using it as part of something I had planned for Naruto from the start but it actually works well where it is.
Well… nothing else to do besides the blah, blah, blah stuff, so let's go.
LAST TIME FOR NOTE: I tend to use the English names of Jutsu unless I know the Japanese name and it sounds cooler than the English name: Example Rasengan versus Spiraling Sphere, Chidori versus One-thousand Chirping Birds, and so on and so on. So if you see a Jutsu in English and you like the Japanese name, then send the name to me. However, I am going to use the Shadow Clone Jutsu as is as I like it over Kage Bunshin.
Well, hope y'all enjoy this, let's get to what y'all are here for.

Chapter 9: Waves of Change
Forests of Fire Country: With Team 7 and 9*
Naruto and the others were jumping from tree to tree trying to reach where Teams 8 and 10 were, though Naruto noticed the curious glances being sent his way by Team 9 since they had noticed his eyes being different along with his hair, his new armor, the dagger in his belt, and possibly his right arm being wrapped up in bandages under his coat since he needed to keep Seyr contained to let her adjust to her new growth from eating the crystals and begin giving offspring: the count was two right now, both male, but more would come. She could still talk with him, but he couldn't let her very well set his arm on fire without some kind of warning as she went through "growing and birthing pains" as she put it. Naruto also idly remembered he needed to examine his dagger again since all he knew about it was its name.
He shook those thoughts away as he felt the familiar signatures of Team 8 and 10, but he also felt two other lesser signatures among them and two others nearby and sensed murderous intent from one of the ones that were a distance from them. Frowning, he decided to get his senseis' attention, "Kakashi-sensei, Anko-sensei, they're in combat at the moment and it seems like they need some extra help." He stated and his two senseis caught on and nodded which he returned before he whispered, {Whirlwind}. Before he took off like a rocket shocking Team 9 as he did since he was so quiet as he blasted away with the wind.
Naruto moved quickly trying to arrive in case they needed back up before he landed on a tree near the teams. The Genin were surrounding an older man, who he assumed was the client, though Team 10 looked like they had the crap beat out of them and saw why as he saw Asuma trapped in a water prison by a man he knew was Zabuza Momochi while Kurenai was getting pushed back by what he sensed was a clone of Zabuza and it wasn't looking good for her since she specialized in Genjutsu over anything else. A short distance away he saw Yugao facing another clone and was holding her own much better.
He then frowned as he saw Kurenai get pinned at a tree and, just before the clone swung its sword at her, he moved and blocked it with his dagger with only a little bit of give in his arm while idly noting his eye's readings, Dragon's Soul: Stabbing and/or killing an enemy with this will begin the process of the dagger absorbing their chakra or mana and turning it into fuel to feed your Prime Dragon(s) if you are one of the rare few to have a dragon bonded to your body. This also allows your bonded dragon to consume the chakra of the victims of your Dragon attacks and use it to fuel themselves further. These abilities are locked until such a time that the user acquires said dragon or the blade is passed to a new wielder that possesses one such dragon. It read and he nodded to himself before looking at the stunned clone in front of him, "I'm afraid I can't let you harm Kure-chan, but if you need an opponent that badly then I am more than happy to oblige." Naruto stated before he kicked the clone sending it skidding back to the shock of those seeing it. Naruto then removed his coat and placed it over Kurenai since her dress was torn in some places before pulling his cowl down causing everyone, but Zabuza, to widen their eyes at noticing the mask and hair knowing it was Naruto.
"Naruto-kun?" Kurenai asked and Naruto smiled beneath his mask, evidenced by his eyes taking a U shape, and caressed her cheek.
"Hello Kure-chan, I'm glad I could make it, though in the future you should consider wearing your Jonin flak jacket since it would give you more protection and you wouldn't have to worry about your dress getting torn so often." He stated with a chuckle making her blush and pout before he scratched her chin a little, "No pouting Kure-chan, it makes you slightly less pretty… but then again it does make you look really cute." He stated making her blush before he stood and turned towards the clone with his eyes taking an edge as they locked on it.
The clone immediately noticed the change and saw that unlike those other Genin; this one was serious and knew about life and death matters. It didn't hurt that the kick was nearly enough to dispel it and that was no real easy feet even if Water Clones were only one tenth as strong as the original. The fact that the kick sent him skidding back about 10 feet didn't hurt either. The clone then watched as the new arrival flexed his right hand and a Zweihander, that looked like it was made of some kind of shiny metal almost like silver, appeared in his hand and he casually walked towards him.
Naruto called his new Zweihander and approached the clone, who swung its Zanbato at him but Naruto casually blocked it with his dagger before swinging his sword at the clone at a speed the clone just barely dodged before the dagger hit it in the chest and the clone froze in shock before dissipating into water. The dagger clattered to the ground before it was recalled back to Naruto's hand via the Overlord Heart connecting it to his person similar to how a reverse summoning seal worked. Naruto idly noticed that it absorbed the chakra in the clone and transmuted it into the same wavelength as the crystals he fed Seyr and fed her the power letting her grow a bit more. He then threw it into the clone that was distracted by Yugao causing it to platter into water as well before the dagger was back in his hand before he placed it back in his belt.
He then turned his attention to the real Zabuza, who was impressed with what he saw and shifted his stance slightly as Naruto walked towards the body of water that Zabuza was standing on and Asuma was suspended over. He stopped at the edge of the water and looked over it, "Zabuza Momochi, while it is an honor to meet one of the successors of the 7 Guardian Swords." He stated seeing Zabuza widen his eyes in shock before he continued, "I'm afraid I can't let you kill anyone here, as much as I would like to let you kill the three bastards behind me, and while I would like to fight you, I can't do so with you holding that man in the prison. I personally don't care for or about him, but he's the son of a man who is like a grandfather to me and it would wound him if his son was killed or seriously harmed, so if you could please release him, so we can either fight or move on, that would be wonderful." Naruto stated as he sensed Kakashi and the others land near them while checking over Kurenai and the other Genin.
Zabuza analyzed the person in front of him intently as the person knew of the 7 swords' original name and no one outside of the 7 swordsmen and the clan that forged the blades knew about the swords' full history including their name so how did this Genin that couldn't be older than his apprentice/tool/daughter know about it when the records of such things were lost and no was left alive that knew the speech to read whatever remnants remained? Zabuza then narrowed his eyes as he studied the blonde/silver haired man… "Wait… Silver haired?" Zabuza thought before he quickly looked at Naruto's hair seeing the silver tips with some red thrown in then he looked to Naruto's eyes which had a slitted silver pupil making his own eyes widen before he looked at the dagger he had more intently and widened his eyes completely before he dropped the jutsu holding Asuma and moved away while staring at Naruto intently, "He's got stage three eyes of the Dragonborn and has the Dragon's Soul, but I thought all of Lord Dovahkiin's line was wiped out with the fall of the last Overlord and Whirlpool?" Zabuza thought as he analyzed the opponent before him before Naruto surprised them all by walking on the water and standing before Zabuza, both with their swords out just staring at the other.
However, Asuma decided to butt in, "Naruto, get away, he's too strong for you, leave it to a Jonin." Asuma stated as he pulled himself out of the water and Naruto snorted.
"Yes, because you were clearly doing such a bang up job: Getting caught in an obvious trap and then letting your comrade nearly get killed while you looked on and didn't even try to get out of the prison. So yes, I really should leave it to a Jonin, just one that can actually handle the situation, which you clearly can't." Naruto stated with some contempt in his voice making Asuma growl at him.
"Watch it brat, I'm still your superior and if you're not careful I'll have you sent back to the academy." He growled and Naruto snorted.
"Actually you aren't since I only answer to Anko-sensei and Kakashi-sensei since I'm their apprentice and no other Jonin can give me orders without their or the Hokage's say so. As for sending me back to the academy, good luck with that since your father won't do it since he and I are practically family. Even if he and I were almost strangers, he wouldn't since I could leave the village then as I'm wouldn't be an official ninja and with my home growing in power every day, he'll never do it as I am too important of an ally. So basically, you can go fuck yourself cause you can't do shit to me." Naruto stated without taking his eyes off Zabuza, who was smirking since he liked Naruto's attitude while Asuma grit his teeth, "Now move away, I want to test my skills against Zabuza here."
He stated making everyone but his team widen their eyes, "Naruto-kun, you can't be serious, he's too much for you." Kurenai called and Naruto turned to her and smiled before looking at Kakashi, who sighed slightly.
"10 minutes, after that I'm stepping in." He stated and Naruto nodded as he turned towards Zabuza. Naruto and Zabuza stared at each other for a few moments before Zabuza flared his Killing Intent and was surprised when Naruto didn't even flinch and just stood there like nothing was happening. That earned him a few points in Zabuza's book before he reined it back in and stared at the boy/young man while tightening his grip on his sword.
They both continued to stare at the other before both swung their blades forward and there was a loud clang as the force of the hit actually caused the water to move from them due to the shockwave they made and they held their positions neither struggling nor relaxing as their blades held against each other. They then broke apart and swung again and met in a stalemate with Zabuza being impressed that Naruto could match his strength before they broke again and began swinging at each other filling the area with loud clangs as they did. Zabuza was impressed as he clashed with Naruto since the kid had potential even if his form was a bit rough and he seemed to be winging it partly as they went, which didn't surprise him since few people used a heavy sword like his Zanbato or the Zweihander.
Zabuza smirked to himself, this kid kept getting more and more interesting the more he saw. Naruto then came at him with an overhead strike that Zabuza blocked and was surprised when his arms almost buckled before he studied the boy closer and saw that his armor looked light but it was actually pretty heavy meaning this guy was training his body just by moving and the fact he could move on the water was all the more impressive. Zabuza pushed back and watched as Naruto went with the force before kicking off of Kubikiribōchō to put some distance between them and keep Zabuza from catching him in the air.
Zabuza readied Kubikiribōchō again and charged with Naruto meeting him again and both clashing with a loud clang that made a few of the people on land wince in pain as the noise was loud before they deadlocked again, while a certain duck butt was seething at seeing Naruto taking on a Jonin level opponent. Naruto was grinning behind his mask as he found someone that could train him in heavy sword fighting and water techniques. He knew perfectly well that Zabuza was holding back to see what he was made of, but Naruto didn't care since he knew he wasn't a real match for Zabuza especially if the man began using his water jutsu repertoire. Nonetheless, he was going to use his remaining minutes to really impress the man.
They then broke apart and Naruto then surprised them all by doing one handed seals, "Ninja Art: Bloody Mist Jutsu." He called surprising Zabuza as a literal bloody mist rolled in around the area before Naruto's voice echoed out, "I hope you don't think I am mocking you Zabuza, I am sure you could find me easily if you tried but I figured that you'd at least be interested in my jutsu since you are a legend and master of the silent killing technique." He stated and Zabuza had to admit, he REALLY wanted to learn this jutsu since it was perfect for his title and way of fighting, "And then there is the second step to it." He called making Zabuza raise an eyebrow before he started feeling cold and saw his breath while the mist seemed to have small pieces of ice in it, "Using some training, I was able to add ice to the mix thus giving my enemies a literal chill of death as they look for me and await their deaths at my hands. I call it the Chill of Death Mist."
He stated and Zabuza suppressed a shiver that wanted to come out as it really did give one a cold chill of death and Zabuza was getting more and more impressed with this kid by the minute, "And that isn't all this mist can do." Naruto stated again while Zabuza raised an eyebrow, there was more to this? "Since the mist is basically water and the ice crystals make a great relay network, I can really give my enemies a shock with my lightning." He stated making Zabuza widen his eyes before he jumped away trying to get out of the mist and almost made it before Naruto's voice rang out, "Don't die on me." He stated before the entire mist was lit up in electricity making Zabuza scream in pain as he was launched out of the mist and onto the water before the mist dissipated.
Zabuza landed on the water and managed to hold himself on it as his body twitched and smoked slightly as he looked up at Naruto walking towards him while his left arm was sparking with electricity, "You alright Zabuza? I hope I didn't put too much power into that little bit of lightning." Naruto stated before he frowned and whispered, {Whirlwind}. Before he was in front of Asuma delivering a kick to his head sending him flying towards the shore where he landed hard and rolled a few times before hitting a tree to stop. Why did Naruto kick him you ask? Well he was getting ready to use a fire jutsu on Zabuza while he was down on the water and Naruto wasn't going to allow that, "Stay out of this, Asuma." He stated with a growl before turning and moving in front of Zabuza to block several senbon aimed at him much to his and the thrower's shock before he flexed and the senbon fell into the water.
Naruto then sheathed his Zweihander and walked towards the shore, "You got a week before you'll lose that bit of tingliness and twitches, so I'll see you then." He stated as he walked back while a masked Nin came and grabbed Zabuza before disappearing. Naruto popped his neck a bit before he was glomped by Hinata, Sayuri, and Ino, who kissed his cheeks while he hugged them back and lifted is mask a bit to kiss their cheeks. They then moved as Kurenai came up and hugged him and he smiled as he returned it before kissing her cheek. He then pulled back and frowned, "Touch me, and that hand will never touch anything again." Naruto warned as the others saw that Asuma was about to put his hand on Naruto's shoulder but paused since the kid's dagger was close to his hand.
"What do you think you are doing attacking an allied Jonin like that?" He asked with a growl and Naruto slowly turned towards him with his eyes taking a glow and Bronx popped out of his pocket to growl as well.
"You tried to kill Zabuza while I was having my spar with him and against my wishes so I did what I needed to make you stop. If you don't like it, then you can go fuck yourself because I don't give a shit." He stated as he glared at Asuma, who backed down seeing Kakashi, Kurenai, Genma, and Anko weren't going to back him up.
Sasuke then stomped up to Naruto, "Dobe, give me your sword." He demanded making almost everyone struggle not to face drop while Sasuke was thinking about how the loser in front of him must be strong because of the sword.
Naruto smirked and stabbed it into the ground before motioning for Sasuke to go ahead and take it. Sasuke smirked and walked before grabbing the handle and pulled. However, he frowned as he couldn't get it to budge and Naruto just looked at him expectantly while tapping his foot while Sasuke pulled and tugged on it while even adding chakra to get more leverage and still couldn't get it to budge. Naruto then pushed him away and lifted it with no trouble, "What did you do to it Dobe?!" Sasuke demanded and Naruto smirked and chuckled.
"I didn't do anything; you're just too weak to lift it." Naruto stated as he held it out to Sasuke who grasped it. However, as soon as Naruto let go, he collapsed to the ground as the blade weighed, at least from his perception, a ton and it pinned his hands to the ground while a crater formed under it shocking everyone, "See? My sword is just naturally heavy and you're just too weak to use it. There's nothing special about it besides the metal being rare, I just had it weigh more than a normal blade to get a workout as I use it." Naruto stated as he grabbed the handle and lifted it onto his shoulder again.
Naruto then stiffened and looked into the distance with his eyes narrowed, "Kakashi-sensei, Anko-sensei, I'll catch up." He stated before his body glowed blue and he disappeared shocking everyone around him but Anko and Kakashi since he told them about it.
Kakashi then sighed, "Alright everyone, let's get going." He stated as he motioned for the client, a man named Tazuna, to lead them to his home while the girls frowned.
"Kakashi, where did Naruto-kun go?" Kurenai asked as she wanted to spend more time with him and three fourths of her team felt the same way.
Kakashi eye smiled, "Oh, he merely returned to his home via teleporting to his main transport stone, something he came up with after learning about his father's signature move but instead it works via magic. He'll catch up with us rather quickly once he finishes whatever business that needs his attention." He informed getting wide eyes from Asuma, Yugao, Genma, and Kurenai while Sasuke grit his teeth in aggravation. Kakashi then waved everyone forward and they followed Tazuna.
Whirlpool
Naruto appeared in his throne room in a flash of blue and looked around before he sat on his throne awaiting Gnarl since the Hearts informed him that something needed his attention. He then saw the Kingdom Heart glow, "I was the one that called you my lord, not only did the new paintings get put up, but your new spell stone is ready to be placed and the books are now in place as well. There is also the fact that many of the Greens you sent out have confirmed that they are in the locations you specified and are beginning to send their intel reports back to us with Yuna categorizing it and sorting it for you in the library after Shadow removed all the nonsense. Yuna has also converted the library into a makeshift office for you." The Heart informed in its soft voice and Naruto nodded before he stood and walked towards the Library.
Upon entering it, he found that his library was much more filled in than before but still having a lot of space to fill before he immediately had several clones go and begin reading the different books and one to begin looking at the reports while he went to look at the paintings since he knew they'd be giving him bonuses and he wanted to ensure he didn't forget them. The first was of a woman with long silver hair wearing a robe as magic carried various books around as she appeared to read them; The second was of a man holding a tree trunk in one hand and what looked like a boulder the size of a Hokage face in the other and he seemed to have no trouble with the heavy armor he was wearing; The third showed something new as it was a portrait of a man and woman sitting on matching thrones wearing regal garments while it looked like they were presiding over a dispute between two kings; The fourth was of a woman wearing leather armor and was showing incredible flexibility by bending and twisting away from a hail of arrows as they passed with a ghostly outline of where she previously was being seen; And the fifth was, for all intents and purposes, a giant of a man as he was easily over 7 feet tall maybe even 8 feet and was bulky and covered in scars with a sword through his stomach and still seemed to be destroying the enemy that was attacking him.
He looked over them in interest before his book came up telling him he got a +15 to Intelligence, Strength, Wisdom, Dexterity, and Constitution respectfully. He nodded to himself before he headed off back to the library to chat with Yuna about the reports. Upon arriving, his clone popped and he immediately sat next to Yuna, who quickly got the important reports in order and began to give them to him.
Naruto scanned each one carefully making sure to get all information needed into his head while pleased that he had Danzo buy a few places in other countries under an assumed name and his Greens were using it along with the other properties he owned and controlled to get info and naturally the bars and taverns were doing the best. As he read, he made a couple of stacks: one to be copied and sent to his Hokage Jiji, one to be sent to both his Jijis, one that can just stay in Whirlpool, one that he wanted copies to take with him, and one to send to his Jijis and Mei-chan as it would be good for her to know about it. One such item of importance was a report that Orochimaru was beginning to move in on the territory of the Fuma Clan and he was amassing a small army for his village called Sound. Another item was reports that the Jinchuriki of Iwa were outside the village on a retreat to learn more about their demons. A third item was that apparently Suna was looking to motivate its allies into being more aggressive towards Iwa by sacrificing a girl named Pakura and blaming Iwa. The next item was reports that Gatō was hiring a few more missing Nin to apparently take down an unruly employee and he knew that it meant Zabuza. The last item he had made him frown, apparently there was a lot of chatter that there were a LOT of people not happy with Mei being in charge and there was talk of threats against her.
He growled slightly, "Yuna-chan, make me copies of all of these: send the first one to Hokage-Jiji with an added note that I'll have my spies look into it more and will request help to save the clan if it comes down to it; send the second to Danzo-Jiji and Hokage-Jiji with a note to let me go and talk to them if the opportunity presents itself; Send the third to Hokage and Danzo-Jiji with a request that a small Root team be put in place to help her should they try to kill her; The fourth I want a copy to take with me; and the last I want copied to be sent to Hokage and Danzo-Jiji so they can have any teams or people in place ready to leave if it comes down to it. Also, have Shadow prepare several strike teams of Greens for Water Country should I have to go and save Mei. I also want a formal request sent for Zabuza and his ally to be given citizenship in Konoha." He ordered and Yuna nodded before she began getting things ready while Naruto headed to another part of the tower/keep.
As Naruto headed to the armory, he thought on his newest Minions specifically his new prime minions. The Browns had gained one new one in the form of Marco, who was in charge of the Minion guards for the keep and town which were an elite fighting group of the Browns that came fully equipped with plate armor and long weapons. He wished at times he could call them to fight but they were strictly for defending his territory and not for calling to the battlefield.
Then there were his Greens, who had three primes known as Stench, Shadow, and Stitch and each was the leader in one of the three fields Greens were best used for. Stench was leader of the poison makers and herbalists; Shadow was in charge of assassination, infiltration, espionage, and information gathering; and Stitch handled the making of leather and cloth armor, which is what the Greens preferred to wear while also being better at making wooden weapons or the wooden pieces to certain weapons.
At the moment, he was going to see the third one as he wanted to see if some items that he wanted commissioned for a while were done since Gnarl kept a list to give to the appropriate Minions when Naruto had them available. Now that he had Stitch and Giblet, he had the Minions he needed to make more items until he learned to make the items himself.
Shaking those thoughts away, he came across a Green in leather armor and had the classic Tekagi-Shuko that was the standard weapon for all Greens. This was Stitch, which was usually easy to see why since he had more Stitches across his body than Frankenstein did. Stitch turned and saw his master and saluted, "What can I help you with Sssire?" He asked as all Greens seemed to draw their out any S they spoke.
"Have you finished any of the items from the list I gave Gnarl?" Naruto asked and Stitch happily nodded before walking off to some mannequins and stands. Naruto looked over the leather armor and mesh pieces and nodded before he turned and saw the few weapons he wanted commissioned and nodded again, "Good, keep producing armor and weapons for the Greens in the event I decide to summon a full hoard of them." He ordered and Stitch nodded excitedly as he liked making armor and the weapons like Giblet did and making them with Giblet at times. Naruto nodded and sealed the items into a scroll before heading back to the Throne Room where Yuna was waiting with the document he wanted to take with him and Gnarl was there too, "Gnarl, have Mac prepare a transport of food, blankets, clean water, clothes, and any other things that we could spare and give to Wave." He ordered and Gnarl nodded before Naruto disappeared in a blue glow.
Wave: A few yards from where Naruto faced Zabuza
Naruto appeared in a clearing a short distance from where he stopped Zabuza from killing Kurenai happy he had the foresight to quickly call one should they have to retreat. He quickly dismissed the stone and headed in the direction that he sensed Sai's ink constructs as it was part of a plan they devised in Water country should they move without him and he had to catch up. So as he jumped through he idly made several dozen clones to begin scouring the country for what may be around that belonged to him or he had to collect for the game.
It only took about five minutes of following the trail of ink constructs to arrive at Tazuna's house. He quickly paused and began sensing the surrounding area and only found several of Shino's insects and Sai's ink constructs. Nodding to himself, he removed his mask and attached it to his waist as to not freak out any civilians that may be in the house before he knocked lightly. A few moments later, the door opened showing a gorgeous woman with Naruto eyeing her and seeing she had at least DD cup breasts, a slim waist, wide hips, and a luscious ass. Her face was beautiful too as she had cream skin and blue hair with her eyes holding kindness in them and he smiled, "Hello miss, my name is Naruto and I'm one of the ninja that was sent to help protect Tazuna the bridge builder."
A few moments ago
Tsunami was standing in the kitchen cooking dinner for the now crowded house while thinking about the one missing ninja that her father was raving about. She also had to shake off the leers she was getting from one team led by the man she had to threaten to get him to not smoke in the house. Why was it so hard to find a man that would listen to her, treat her with respect and love, and screw her silly in bed? It wasn't too much to ask for, was it? Her thoughts were broken when the polite and quiet boy named Shino spoke up, "He's here." Tsunami was confused about what he meant while the one team that was leering at her seemed to scowl at the news while the other team looked glad.
She then heard a knock at the door and went to answer. When she did, she saw the most handsome man she had ever seen: He was almost 7 foot tall with middle length blond/silver hair with red tips on parts, his face showed no baby fat at all he had two scars that seemed to enhance his looks, his body was covered in armor but it hugged his body tightly showing he was all muscle, but the thing that got her most were his eyes. They were the deepest blue she had ever seen and seemed to draw her in while the silver slitted pupil in the middle gave him a feral look but also seemed to be shining/glowing with power. She blushed as he seemed to stare into her soul before he looked her over appraisingly before he smiled and made her blush more before he spoke, "Hello miss, my name is Naruto and I'm one of the ninja that was sent to help protect Tazuna the bridge builder." He stated and his deep voice made her legs weak.
"He-hello, I'm Tsunami, Tazuna is my father." She stated getting him to raise an eyebrow.
"What? You must be joking; surely you're really his granddaughter since you're too young to be his daughter." He stated with a smile making her blush and smile at the compliment.
"Thank you, but I really am his daughter." She stated making pause then nod while she just stared at him before she blushed again, "Oh! I'm sorry, please come in." She stated letting him in and he nodded with a smile as he stepped in and saw everyone and gave all but Team 10 acknowledging nods but noticed Kurenai and her team weren't down there and neither was Anko.
"Where are Kure-chan and the others?" He asked in confusion before Kakashi chuckled a bit.
"Kurenai and her Genin went to town to look around and Anko…. Well she's upstairs with Yugao." He stated chuckling and Naruto smirked and nodded thankful that they at least used a silencing tag.
"Alright then, we can work out what to do later." He stated with Kakashi nodding before Naruto headed to the kitchen followed by a confused Tsunami, who was surprised when he set a scroll down and unrolled it part of the way before a pan and some other items popped out and he started cooking. Naruto began chopping some vegetables before he paused and looked at Tsunami, "You don't mind an extra hand do you?" He asked with a smile and she blushed again before shaking her head and worked on what she was making while Naruto worked on his part.
It was about 20 minutes later that Naruto had to stop and asked Tsunami to watch the food as he moved out of the way since, once the door opened, there was a pause before he was tackled with a multi-cry of "NARUTO-KUN!" being heard from four voices. Tsunami looked and saw Kurenai, Hinata, Sayuri, and Ino there hugging him and kissing his cheeks as he struggled to stay standing and for some reason felt her eyebrow twitch.
Naruto chuckled as he kissed their heads noticing a slight jealous and sad look on Tsunami's face before he got them to let him go, "We can talk more later, but right now I need to keep helping Tsunami-chan with dinner." He stated and they nodded as they kissed his cheek again before letting him go. He went to the kitchen and began helping with Tsunami seeming to be sad and wouldn't look at him, "I'm not a womanizer if that is what you are thinking." He stated as he went back to ensuring his food wasn't burnt and Tsunami merely glanced at him before looking away, "I am the last of my clan and a line of rulers, meaning I am allowed to be with more than one woman, but I'd probably be with them even if there was no special rule. I care about each of them and they care about me and I'm not going to reject a woman that wants to be with me simply because the others are with me. If I have feelings for a woman then I will not turn her away if she seeks a relationship with me since my girls know to share as that is why they are with me in the first place." He informed as he kept cooking making Tsunami look at him with a little hope in her eyes and he chuckled before going back to his work with Tsunami doing the same while she looked a little happier.
After about 10 minutes, Naruto turned the flame low, "Well, this should be ready shortly Tsunami-chan, just let me know when you are ready and I'll help set the table." He stated making her smile in appreciation before he walked towards the door, "I'm gonna call my minions to make an add-on for the house so we aren't all cramped." He stated and Kakashi nodded before Naruto left and summoned Ace and a horde of Greys, "Alright, I want a building add-on to this structure to hold at least five people and connect it to the main house." He ordered and Ace nodded before he began giving directions as Naruto summoned a Transport Stone in the middle of where the add-on was going to be to both be a way to get the family to safety if needed and to get supplies to build the add-on.
Naruto then reentered the house with several looking at him since there was quite a bit of shouting and noise going on and he chuckled, "Ace gets a bit annoyed when Minions aren't doing work, especially when it's the work he's been assigned to get done." Naruto stated before he frowned since he saw Tsunami was already setting the table and went to the edge before he opened a pouch and took a scroll out before unrolling it to a specific spot and pressed it against the table. It glowed for a second before Naruto grabbed the edge of the table while the seal was glowing and stretched it longer so people could sit comfortable since their table was actually a picnic table so the seats stretched too.
Everyone was surprised by this as Naruto grinned, "Space/time seal." He stated while Tazuna was frowning at the sound of work and decided to go out and see the work being done with Naruto following him since it wouldn't do to have the client killed right outside the house. He came out and nearly laughed at Tazuna's gawking face as the Minions already had the base of the floor done and were getting quite a bit of the walls done. Though it shouldn't be surprising since he had around 100 minions working since he learned that if a Prime is with him then he can increase his control by 20 for each Prime with him as well as the fact that a Transport Stone also gave an area of influence around it so his scattered minions that were around the Transport Stones gaining intel for him could remain with no issues. There was also the fact those stationed to protect his properties were fine since they were HIS after all so his influence was over them keeping them tethered to the locations so they wouldn't be in any danger of him summoning so many of his horde to build here, "Impressive isn't it? Greys do fast yet careful work with Ace making sure they do it perfectly." He commented while Tazuna was merely looking on in surprise.
Naruto chuckled before Tazuna looked at him seriously, "Could you have these guys help me with the bridge? A lot of my workforce is getting terrified and then they quit but if I have these guys then I can get it done faster and it would royally piss of Gatō." He asked then explained and Naruto looked at his Minions in thought before nodding.
"I can do that, but I'll need a favor in return." He stated and Tazuna raised an eyebrow before nodding, "I'm currently rebuilding the home country of one of my clans and Ace, my head engineer and builder, has informed me that it would go much faster if we had another master builder and from what I saw of the bridge, you're definitely one. So my favor is after this, come to my country to help me rebuild it and of course I'll pay you for your services and I already have a large work force ready they just need more guidance." He stated as Tazuna smiled and nodded as they shook hands.
"Deal, I would have done it for free though." He stated with a grin and Naruto chuckled.
"I have no doubt, but you'll be doing a lot of work so you should be compensated for it." Naruto replied before Tsunami called them in for food. The two left Ace to his organizing and ordering as they went inside and ate. However, Naruto had to deal with the girls, minus Sakura and Tsunami, trying to feed him despite the fact they wanted to keep eating since they enjoyed the food, both Tsunami's and Naruto's, and Naruto was glad he had sent clones back to Whirlpool a while ago to work on his cooking and brought the skill up to 60 points so it was edible and tasted good.
As they were beginning to finish up, about 25 minutes later, there was a knock at the door and everyone paused except Naruto, "Come in Ace." Naruto stated as the door opened showing Ace with him wiping his hand off on a handkerchief, "Everything ready?" Naruto asked as Ace nodded.
"Yes sir, the structure is solid and attached to this building with beds and rooms ready to be used. Tomorrow if you and the family would like, we can fully connect it allowing someone to travel between the two without going outside." He stated as he looked over his clipboard to check what he still needed to get done.
Naruto nodded, "Good, go ahead and head home for now and if later they want to attach it then I'll call you back." He ordered and Ace nodded before bowing and leaving while Naruto continued eating with the others just blinking before doing the same.
Once he was done, he stood and stretched before making a clone that immediately plopped on the couch to lay down making people look at the two in confusion, "Hehe, I'm going to sleep in the add-on and I'm sure everyone will be in their rooms so my clone will sleep on the couch to ensure no one tries to sneak in on the bottom floor." He informed making the non-haters nod in understanding, "From what I understand, there are two available rooms here and my Minions made the add-on with another five rooms there so there shouldn't be much issue since teams can share a room with the exception of Anko-sensei and Yugao-neechan wanting their own room to share." He stated with a smirk while the two women blushed.
"Where will you be in the add-on Naruto?" Kakashi asked as he figured it would goad some info out of his student's plans for the morning.
"I'll be on the ground floor whether in the room there or in the living area since I plan to get up early tomorrow to train while I wait for my clones to finish scouting the place." He stated casually as he stretched while Bronx yawned from his pocket.
"And when they are done?" Asked Tsunami and Naruto finished stretching and smiled at her.
"Well then I'll be going after any items that are in this country that belong to me." He stated with the smile as he popped his neck, "I'm sure my ancestors left a tomb or something here that I need to find so I'll just wait till my clones are done scouting." He stated making everyone but his team confused before he sighed, "Well, I'll be right next door, literally, if anyone needs me." He stated before heading out the door and looked at the structure his minions built before nodding as it looked like a log cabin with a carved stone base.
He then entered and saw it had a couch, a few chairs, a table, a back room, a set of stairs to the second floor, and a rug across the floor. He then went to the couch and pulled the cushions off before pulling the folded bed out and exchanged his armor for regular pants and long shirt before he put the Genjutsu over his torso and legs again. He then took the folded blanket and two pillows beside the couch and put them on the bed. He stretched slightly before climbing into bed and used his gauntlet to call one of his new books, The Art of Weapon Smithing Vol. 2. He already read volume 1 during his stay with Mei in Kiri and it had helped since reading the whole book had added ten points to his crafting. It would have been forging specifically but the Book informed him that he couldn't upgrade specific tiers of the general items until they hit a certain level. An example was his Poison Making: once he had it at a set level he could begin allocating points to specific types of poisons or just dump points into Poison Making to increase them all by one point per point just in Poison Making. While this would seem ideal, he also knew that there may be times he needed to make a high quality paralytic anesthetic but may lack just one or two points keeping him stuck.
For now though, he was content to get an overall bonus to his skills since he could use it since everything you can learn is not enough and if it can be used to keep yourself or someone else alive then you can't learn it fast enough.
Naruto then shook those thoughts away as the door opened and he saw Anko and Yugao and they waved to him before heading upstairs to one of the rooms. Naruto chuckled at that since his Nee-chan needed someone in her life even if they were a bit nuts like Anko was, though he wondered how'd they feel about a male in their relationship since he could sense Yugao's attraction to Zabuza and he certainly wasn't hiding his attraction either. Well if his Hokage-Jiji came through then he'd get the chance to maybe set the three up together, not that the three would mind.
He then broke those thoughts as Kakashi came in with Sai and Yakumo with the latter two holding hands causing him to smirk since they had bonded while in Water Country and Naruto told Sai that it was fine since Yakumo would do much worse than he would if Sai broke her heart. While not the most confidence inspiring speech, Sai had accepted it and promised to protect and make Yakumo happy. Shaking those thoughts away, he nodded to them and they went upstairs with Kakashi going to one room and Sai and Yakumo going to another before the door opened yet again and showed Kurenai's team. He sat up slightly while holding his book down and the girls all smiled before they went and kissed his cheek with Sayuri and Hinata heading for the room behind the sitting area and Ino and Sakura, who was blushing a bit, went to the other room upstairs while Kurenai went to the bathroom while winking at him.
Naruto chuckled and moved towards a side of the bed already guessing what they were doing and sent his book back before Kurenai walked out in a thin crimson panty and a night gown that covered her breasts but showed the rest of her body. Kurenai blushed as Naruto looked her up and down appraisingly, "It seems my ruby-eyed queen has a goddess like body." He stated making her blush a shade that matched her eyes.
"His ruby-eyed queen huh? I like the sound of that, I like it a lot." She thought giddily as she came over to the bed and got in before he lied down and pulled her close, "What about your book?" She asked while liking his arms being around her and the warm feel of his muscles against her.
"A woman as beautiful as you deserves my full attention when we are alone like this and even when not alone, but I must be fair to my other girls." He stated making her blush and smile before she kissed his cheek.
"Thank you Naruto-kun." She stated and he raised an eyebrow, "For complimenting me without being perverted or like many men are by trying to show off." She stated and Naruto smiled and cupped her cheek before he kissed her lips softly making her widen her eyes before she returned and scooted closer to him as she put her arms around him
After a minute or so, he pulled back and she was gasping for breath and pressing her body against him and he chuckled, "Not yet Kure-chan, I want to get to know you more first." He stated as he could feel her nipples poking his chest and she pouted slightly before smiling and kissed his cheek.
"Can I at least sleep with you with you not wearing your shirt?" She asked and he smiled before he kissed her lightly and nodded causing her to grab his shirt and quickly take it off him before kissing his neck and chest lightly. She then paused and ran her fingers over his body slowly, "Naruto-kun." She started before he put a finger to her lips and he looked down at her with a sad smile.
"Not tonight Kure-chan, for now I want your cuddle time to be nothing but good, but if I show you then you'll cry and I'll have to worry about comforting you rather than just enjoying being with you." He stated and Kurenai nodded and kissed his cheek lightly before hugging close to him and he stroked her hair making her sigh slightly, "So tell me about yourself, Kure-chan." He stated and she smiled before she 'eeped' as he rolled them so he was on his back and she was laying on his chest making her smile.
"Well, the only female friends I have are Yugao-chan, Anko-chan, and Hana Inuzuka. The other women either dislike me for one reason or another or just haven't been around for me to get to know them. I don't really have any male friends, except maybe Guy but he is more of a goofball brother to me, since most don't have an interest in being friends with me they just want me for my body." She stated a bit bitterly at the end before she smiled at him, "Then I got to meet you." She stated as she kissed his chest again.
Naruto smiled at her before he frowned, "Isn't there a Chunin girl named Tsubaki? Why didn't you get to know her?" He asked and Kurenai frowned slightly.
"Well for starters we were in two different graduating classes and then there is the fact that she was Mizuki's girlfriend and personally I tried to steer clear of anything or anyone involving him since he always leered at me when I had to be around him. Although I think Tsubaki was interested in Iruka but I heard a rumor that Mizuki only got her because he told her he was dating the ramen girl Ayame." She stated making Naruto frown.
"Hmm, I may have to request Hokage-Jiji to let me have a crack at him for doing that since Ayame is one of my girls. I'll also have to tell Iruka since I'm pretty sure he liked Tsubaki." He stated before he blinked and chuckled making Kurenai frown in confusion, "Sorry, but most would find the idea of me playing match maker very funny." He stated before kissing her nose making her giggle, "So what else will you tell me about yourself?" He asked making her smile as she and the others loved that when he was alone with them then his soul focus was on them.
"Well, I've only been a Jonin for a little over 2 years and this is my first Genin team, though I'm sad to say most of their improvements have come from you and Yugao-chan than me." She stated before he lifted her eyes to him and he kissed her lightly again.
"Never doubt yourself Kure-chan, all four of your students have the potential to be excellent Genjutsu users so once they are ready to learn from you then they will begin to show your teachings. I did not mean to undermine your teaching them nor did Yugao-chan, but you know fully well that your only specialty is Genjutsu and you're lacking in the other areas." He stated and she looked down before he brought her face back up and smiled, "Which is why you should be asking your new sisters or me to help. You're important to me Kure-chan, that means my girls will help you if they can since you are becoming a part of our family, which means that they are also your friends." He stated with a smile making her widen her eyes and tear up a bit before she kissed him passionately and he happily returned it while holding her close.
She then pulled back with happy tears in her eyes, "Thank you Naruto-kun." She stated as she was happy to have a potential family since she lost hers years ago and grew up without one.
Naruto smiled and kissed her again, "Of course, Kure-chan." He stated and she smiled and hugged him tight. They laid like that for a while with him stroking her hair gently, "Get some sleep Kure-chan." He stated and heard her mumble she wasn't tired, "Then just relax with your eyes closed; you've had a long day." He stated and she nodded slightly before she fell asleep on his chest before he followed her a few minutes later.
Next morning
Kurenai groggily awoke to be along in the bed and looked around seeing Naruto wasn't there and looked around quickly and saw a note on the arm of the couch near her head. Curious, she grabbed it and opened it, Kure-chan, don't freak out even though I'm sure you did already, I just got up early, like I said I was going to last night, to train and I didn't want to wake you. If I'm not at breakfast then don't worry, it means I was either caught up in my training or I went back to Whirlpool to check on something and I should be back at the house soon. Also, in case you didn't notice, the blanket is clinging to your body because I put a seal on it so if the others got up before you did then they wouldn't see your choice of nightwear, though I certainly enjoyed seeing you in it, and because I didn't want any of Team Temes to try something. All you have to do to get the seal to release is swipe a dab of blood on the blanket.
Hope you slept well, Naruto
P.S. The note was keyed to your chakra signature so no nosy people could look at it and know how to get the blanket off you.
She read and smiled at him being thoughtful before she looked around and then bit her thumb dabbing some of her blood on the blanket before heading to the bathroom to change into some spare clothes she had in a scroll before heading to the main house to get something to eat.
She came and saw most of everyone there with Naruto being the only one missing, "Morning everyone, Naruto-kun not back from his training yet?" She greeted then asked and the other friendly people greeted her in return with Kakashi shaking his head.
"No, but that isn't so strange since he tends to train alone at times when it comes to his magic since some of them can be quite destructive especially if he doesn't know what his spell will do." Kakashi commented since Naruto informed him that he got a new spell stone, but didn't know which it was yet as he wanted his Minions to put it in place after he was alone in case it was a spell that activated without him having to consciously order it to.
Kurenai nodded, "Should we check on him at some point?" She asked and Sai raised a scroll up.
"I have some of my animal constructs watching him so they'll either come find me or bring him back if he needs help. Plus, he has Bronx with him so he'll be fine." Sai stated as he ate peacefully next to Yakumo. Kurenai nodded and sat by her team and began eating while waiting for Naruto to come back.
With Naruto
Naruto was standing in a clearing huffing slightly as he practiced his new spell: The Tornado Palm spell. At stage one (base level with no catalysts on it), it made a small tornado that he could swing around like a whip; at stage two, it increased in size and suction power; and at stage three it let him actually send it out away from his hands like an actual tornado but it would only last a short while. At the moment, he was testing combining it with his fire and lightning spells and it was tiring trying to stabilize it in order to launch it. Like he theorized, the wind stabilized it while also making the fire hotter and the lightning more controlled. The hard part was keeping it stable to be launched otherwise it was stuck with the same range as the Rasengan, another problem he was working on correcting, and launching it was proving difficult as the wind wanted to spread out and carrying the fire and lighting but it would stretch the fire too thin and it would go out so he had to increase the mana output in the fire while maintaining control of the amount going into the lightning and wind. So in essence, trying to pat your head, rub your belly, and slide your foot on the floor all at once while standing on one foot so you have to have perfect balance doing it all.
Naruto sighed as he lowered his hands and took a breath before he popped his neck and then tried using one of his new sub-elements and put both hands close together focusing on making ice. He was able to make the water of his mist jutsu cold giving the chill effect and even freeze some particles to make ice, but now he wanted to see if he could do something besides some intimidation. He focused on his hands while trying harder on the cold feeling that came when combining his water and wind, and was internally glad he had a small army working on his sub-elements and Rasengan back in Whirlpool.
He opened his eyes to see that his hands were covered and the ice took the form of claws. He nodded to himself before he moved and swiped at a boulder making slight claw marks in it but the ice chipped slightly making Naruto nod. He honestly expected it to shatter into pieces when he hit the boulder, but he forgot to take into account that the better your control the stronger the jutsu was and he was making his control beyond what anyone else would make theirs. He idly swung at the boulder a few more times until his claws snapped off after the fifth strike to the boulder while his palms still had the casing. He nodded to himself before he flared his fire and melted the ice before shaking his hands slightly to kill the slight numb effect he had. He then headed back to the house since he didn't want the others worrying and Bronx got up from his position next to a tree and walked beside him in his pup form.
It only took about five minutes to make it back to the house before he paused as memories of some of his clones that were scouting the country came back informing him of another two tombs and apparently Gatō had some items of his as well so there was even more reason to deal with the bastard. He then entered the house and greeted everyone before sitting and eating peacefully before Hinata spoke up, "Kurenai-sensei, what is the plan for today?" She asked since she wanted to get some things together if they were guarding Tazuna today.
Kurenai swallowed a bite before replying, "Well since we don't have to worry about Zabuza specifically for another week, we'll be splitting the time between training and guarding Tazuna-san." She stated making Hinata nod before Naruto spoke up.
"I'll also be dividing my time between those two things, going after the sights and items in this country that belong to me, and helping out where I can since I had my Minions prepare a shipment of food, clothes, blankets, and some other items to be brought here when it is ready." He stated shocking everyone while Tazuna had some tears in his eyes before he bowed his head.
"Thank you, thank you so much." He stated with Tsunami nodding and Naruto waved them off.
"I've been having my people over stock our supplies with plans to sell them, but this is a much better way to use them and these people could use some pick-me-ups like this. Plus I can help out even more by buying a building or business and helping get it back into shape since I have money." He stated making Tazuna and Tsunami have more tears of gratitude while the girls smiled and most of the guys looked at him with respect, "For now though, I'll be staying at the house after I go with Tazuna so I can instruct my Minions to listen to him that way the bridge can be built faster and possibly be reinforced more than Tazuna planned since he needed time to be saved." He stated getting a round of nods from the non-assholes, "After that I guess I'll help out with whoever is here training if they are willing to take help. Otherwise I'll just watch the house and wait for my clones to finish scouting the country or for the shipment to be ready, whichever comes first."
He informed and the non-assholes nodded before they all finished eating with the Jonin having to decide which team or teams were going to be at the bridge and who would remain at the house to train.
Unknown location
Haku was looking over Zabuza's wounds from the fight with the strange boy/young man that faced him that had impressed both Zabuza and herself with his skills and abilities. The things that had her confused were that her heart seemed to race when she looked at him, even if she couldn't see his face, and that her master seemed to be in deep thought since the encounter.
Just as she was about to ask him what was wrong, he spoke, "Haku, I want you to watch that guy I fought and report back to me. I want to know his name before the week is up and I can move again." He stated making her frown in confusion since it was strange that he would be so interested.
"May I ask why, Zabuza-sama?" She asked though she wouldn't mind being around the man more, but it was still odd for her master to have her do this.
Zabuza was quiet for a few moments before he replied, "Because I think he's the man I owe my loyalty, sword, and blood to now." He stated shocking her since she didn't know he owed allegiance to anyone.
"What?!" She asked shocked and Zabuza chuckled slightly before flinching as the phantom shocks still hurt.
"If I'm right about who he is, then his grandfather was the one who taught me how to use a sword and fight as well as took me in when my family died." He stated and she looked at him in surprise.
"What was his name?" She asked, curiousity getting the better of her.
Zabuza was again silent for a moment before he replied, "Dovahkiin Corvus: last of the Dragonborn and known as the Flame of Wrath and best friend to the last Overlord of Whirlpool."
DONE! Hope you all enjoyed this and will forgive the wait. For the record, as I had stated with Naruto's observation, Naruto only beat Zabuza because Zabuza wasn't really trying and wanted to see what Naruto could do why he wanted to see is stated right above where I ended it.
Anyway, next time might finish up Wave as well as other things I have planned that I'm sure you're all gonna love and/or enjoy
* Team 9 is Genma's team since Guy's team is called just that: Team Guy
Also, I'm still looking for another companion for Naruto as I have four of the five picked out (not counting Seyr as I mean actual physical companions that travel with him and such). So send me ideas as even if I don't use it here, it doesn't mean I won't use it in another fic I do. I would prefer an exotic or strange type of companion like Bronx was (yes to you all who guessed what companion is part of a bash, the one in question isn't exotic… At first but wait till you see what I have in store), but I will take normal animal options as well.
Next, still looking for an idea beta: Someone who I can send my MANY ideas to and get honest opinions (not flames though if they dislike an idea) on.
Anyway, as promised this is a chapter with no lemons or limes (I know you perverts out there are saddened but I can't do it all the time or it starts getting stale), but next chapter and/or the one after that will most likely have one.
Well, I think that is it, let me know about those item above. Later everyone.
