CHAPTER 24

07:29PM

Kushina paced back and forth, in front of Naruto's bedroom in the Snow mansion.

The Uzumaki was dressed in a pair of black pants and a dark red shirt with the Uzushio whirlpool plastered on the back. The tomboy also had a fully zipped up black jacket over her torso to ward off the cold of Snow country's summer snow. On her feet were a pair of white sneakers, fitted for comfort and strong enough to now fall apart if she was forced to run at full speed.

Her date had once again empathized that she would enjoy the night better if she wore something comfortable but yet required for the season in Snow.

Kushina did not have her shinobi vest or forehead protector on.

She stopped in front of the door, for the hundredth time that evening, and looked at her digital wrist watch as it counted up the seconds.

Fifty five…fifty six…fifty seven…fifty eight…fifty ni-

She nervously rapped her fist on the door and stood back.

The door was thrown open and her date was dressed just as causal as her; a plain black short sleeved shirt, a pair of grey sweatpants and an unzipped grey jacket that had an artistic slash going down the left side. He was in grey shoes and there was a rolled up scroll in his right hand.

His eyes brightened as he saw who was standing outside of his door. "Kushina, you could have come in, you know."

The woman blushed and pouted, avoiding the obvious statement. "Where are we going, uncle?"

Naruto quietly closed the door to his appointed room and opened the scroll, showing that it was a map of all of Snow country, though this map had up to twenty, maybe thirty, red dots marked on seemingly random spots. He looked at the younger ninja and grinned widely. "We're going on a food tour."

Words could not even begin to explain the absolute, unfiltered bliss Kushina felt.

Her uncle really knew what to do to impress her.

The redhead smiled gently, her flushed face turned an even darker shade of red. She had three great passions in this world; being a ninja, protecting Darkness and Uzushio, and finally food.

Wasn't food supposed to be the best way to a man's heart?

She felt her heart clamour in her chest and the butterflies in her stomach did nothing to help her situation.

Naruto was busy holding the map and turning it about, scratching his head. "We might not be able to finish it all this night but that's fine, we can always come back and finish it tomorrow, and the day after that." he hummed. "I'm certain that we can get up to half of this map before midnight, then we can go and watch a movie and walk through the park…if you're not tired, whatever you want really. I gave Kisame and the black ops a break for the next three days or so, until we head back home, so we can be by ourselves." he jutted his chin to a spot on the map, one of the six dots located in Light city. "We can start here…Kushina…?" he said with a slight smile, looking back at the redhead as she looked up at him adoringly. "Are you ok?"

The Uzumaki sighed in content and answered. "Yeah, I'm ok."

Naruto smiled, realizing that his food tour plan was spot on, and he rolled up the map, stuffing it into a pocket inside his jacket and holding out his hand to his date. "Shall we?"

Kushina grinned up at him. "We shall."

The two food lovers skipped out of the palace and into Light city.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

(Warning: Lemon ahead!)

Later that night

Ketsueki Sakenomi smirked to herself as she pressed her ear to the door of her masters appointed bedroom, mask very much still on and in full ninja uniform, though her subordinates were keeping the servants and guards away from their section of the palace.

Her fingers itched to release the silencing seal on the room, disable to the locks and jump in on the action, but Naruto had insisted that the first time with Kushina should be just them.

He didn't want the Uzumaki to think they were using her.

In that momentary lapse of concentration-from hot and bothered to cool and concerned, for both occupants of the room-her ears twitched again, pressed hard into the door and picked up the faint audio signals her drops of blood, forming two small ears, were sending her.

Kushina was just coming down from a toe curling climax, the vampire assumed this from the tight breaths the younger woman was taking and the previous long, drawn out moan that had vibrated through the room, and her husband was bringing the girl down slowly, sitting up and gently rubbing her nether regions with his fingers.

Sueki wasn't going to lie…she was jealous.

She couldn't even begin to count how masterful her husband was with her body, and now it seemed he now knew how to send Kushina into a body shuddering orgasm, not with ease but without fumbling around blindly. Her master had even gone out of his way to create another mask, one that almost perfectly replicated lips. This was so that he could lick her and kiss her, two things Sueki loved doing with her teacher.

"I'm going to put it in now." Her husband said in a low rumble, a sound that made the vampires knees week and forced her to lean her weight into the door. This seemed to affect Kushina the same way, as the girl too was panting.

"I-It won't fit…" she stammered softly, breathily, flicking her swirling purple eyes up to meet her lover's soft blue eyes. Naruto's left hand laced with her right and he held his shaft with his right hand, gently pushing the head into her lower lips. The redhead blinked to clear off the haze from her former climax and stared unabashed at the thing between her uncle's legs. "U-Uncle, it's too big…"

The vampire could feel the desire rolling off the two lovers, through her audio sensor ears.

"Try to relax." The man said in a soothingly deep voice, his soft grip on her hand anchored Kushina to that very moment. "I'll put it in slowly…"

"D-Don't you want me to-" she made a gesture Sueki couldn't see but, though like everything else that was happening in the room, she could guess from Naruto's returning chuckle what the shy girl had mimicked. Her voice was heavy and she sounded eager to at least help him release his load, just like how he made her cum only a few seconds ago. "I've never…done it before…b-but I can try…"

"I'm ok, Kushina." The masked man said quietly, pausing as his head almost fully entered her. He silently kept his gaze on the panicking girl, who wasn't even sure if she would like having a man inside her, and she bit her bottom lip and nodded quickly. The man pushed into her slowly, easing into her hot, wet tunnel and both grunted at how tight she was.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

This was when Sueki crumpled onto her knees, her fingers dangerously close to her crotch.

Naruto's shaft slid in two inches before he slowly pulled back out, looking down at Kushina affectionately as she squeezed the bed sheets with her free hand, pleasure and pain clouding her mind.

She wasn't a virgin by any stretch of the imagination; years and years training of rigorous training-flexibility, muscular conditioning, endurance, stamina and toning exercises-as well as her own escapades with other women, had torn her hymen long ago. It was that she had never had anything bigger than fingers in her and nothing could go as deep.

She moaned throatily as her uncle eased himself deep into her, shoving three more inches into her before pulling out painfully slowly.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Sueki groaned along with them, quietly.

With the next push into her nether regions, Naruto hilted himself and leaned down to her. His self-fashioned lips, coal black from being made out of solidified-though flexible-smoke found hers and the girl immediately wrapped her arms around his neck.

Kushina grunted and moaned deeply with each thrust, mewling and gasping desperately as she kissed him.

"You're so deep." she cried quietly as she closed her eyes, savouring the feeling. She turned her face and pressed her lips into his neck, nipping at the skin and licking his sweat breathily. Her sharp canines gently bit into his neck, unconsciously marking him and the man groaned, sliding his right hand back and moving her left ankle onto his lower back, maintaining his rhythm. In her delirium, she wrapped her legs around him, her toes barely touching, and he thrust harder into her. Her head fell back and her eyes closed tightly as a whole new wave of need washed over her. "Like that…yes…uncle, harder-harder…yessss…"

The vampire eavesdropping on the lovemaking had abandoned all care, ordering her subordinates to keep the servants of the palace away from that general area and they too shouldn't come either. Her fingers entered her pants and the expressionless woman flushed red as she rubbed herself.

The bed in the room creaked as the man thumped harder into Kushina, letting her set her own pace and discerning for himself what she was comfortable with.

Naruto's eyes glowed as he looked at the woman, feeling her tunnel tighten up with each push into her core.

"I-I-I'm almost-" the redhead bit out urgently, her hands shifted down and her nails dug into his back. "I-I…oh-oh-ohhhh…"

The blonde man quickened in tune with her hot breathes. Her purple eyes opened and he smiled at her.

Kushina smiled back, moaning throatily as he went down and kissed her. She could smell him. She could smell him. She could feel him deep inside her and all around her.

The sensory overload became too much for her.

The Uzumaki tensed and whimpered as she climaxed.

Sueki's lips fell open and her mask suddenly became too hot for her. The vampire slumped against the door, still on her knees, and fought the urge to sleep.

Naruto slowly moved in and out of her, helping her ride her high. The redhead blinked blearily, trying to reorient herself and puffing out hot breathes to each gentle push into her centre.

The Uzumaki hummed out a content smile, turning on her side with her uncle in her arms.

When she was completely sure Kushina was asleep, or least too drowsy to move, she picked the locks of the bedroom and rushed inside, shutting the door after and throwing up a flippant locking seal. She wasn't sure whether it was before or after she reached the bed that all of her clothes were off, littered on the ground on the same path she took towards her master.

Naruto gently pulled away from the tired redhead, who was half-awake at that moment, and sat up against the headboard with his hand gently stroking Kushina's head as she mewled in need. Her purple eyes widened a little in surprise as her aunt went to her uncle, shuffling onto the bed. The white haired woman's pale body faintly glowed as she bent her head down and grasped her uncle's shaft, dragging her tongue up the long member and sinking her head down, taking as much of it into her mouth as she could.

Sueki bobbed her head up and down, gagging for air with each dip of her head, tucking her hair to the side. A few seconds later she clambered onto him and Naruto aligned his shaft to her lower lips. He was sure he could hold his release a while longer to make Sueki peak, as his wife sank down on his rod and began bouncing up and down on his lap. She grabbed onto his shoulders as he held her ass, her eyes shut and keening in ecstasy, riding him frantically to get him to cum before she could. She felt her lover's right hand leave her ass and the bed shifted, circling around Kushina as the younger woman slinked up his body, her head tipped back. She licked her master's lips and whimpered softly as he pushed his tongue into her mouth. His hand held her closer to his body, his other hand encouraging his wife to bounce harder and faster on his shaft. Sueki, lost in her own world, barely jerked in surprise as she felt an unfamiliar hand palm her chest, expertly rolling her nipples between her fingers.

Kushina's head ducked down between her surrogate uncle and her aunt as he sat back with a deep, approving sigh, feeling his vampire wife tighten up when the bisexual Uzumaki lapped at her left breast, sucking on it as she played with her aunts other nipple.

Sueki decided then and there that she liked it.

Not unknown to them as well, Kushina liked this as well.

The white haired beauty had already been so tightly wound up that it didn't come as a surprise that she fell into a thundering orgasm, shuddering as the redhead gently rubbed her back.

Naruto was close.

The look Kushina gave him conveyed her thoughts clearly.

Sueki fell onto his chest, grinding on his shaft and placing kisses along the side of his jaw. She yelped as her husband flipped her over and slid out of her quivering quim. The more experienced, though still delirious at that moment, woman vaguely noticed Kushina take the initiative and straddle her, bringing her face down and timidly kissing her. Sueki's left hand came up and lightly held the redheads face, leaning up a little to return the kiss, just as their lover aligned himself to Kushina from behind.

This time, as he saw the fiery look from the younger woman, thrown over her shoulder alongside a seductive smirk, he hilted himself in her in one hard thrust.

Kushina's groaned muffled against Sueki's longing lips.

The blonde man hammered into her, driving himself deep into her core. He gripped her waist, driving her back as he thrust forward, eliciting a pleasant yelp of surprise from Kushina. The redhead felt a fire ignite in her gut as her master repeatedly pounded into her from behind. She noticed how her aunts pupils were contracted tiny like pinpricks and a strange desire came over her anew, feeling her harder his thrusts and seeing how turned on her masters first lover was. She slammed back into him, grunting into Sueki's lips and closing her swirling purple orbs.

The room was filled with hard slapping sounds, low moaning and soft whimpering.

The coil in Kushina's core tightened impossibly until-

Lights popped in the back of her eyes and Naruto grit his teeth.

The flood gates opened and the two lovers saw stars. The man leaned forward, onto Kushina's back, and the redhead turned her head, kissing the man lovingly. The strength in her arms left her as he filled her with heat, pumping out more as he sluggishly moved in and out of her sopping wet tunnel. The woman trembled delightfully with each spurt, shaking in Sueki's arms, enjoying the dominating power her precious uncle had over her.

Treasuring the feeling of being so full.

Kushina sighed into the kiss, smiling happily as she felt her idols seed settle inside her.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The three of them went at it for another hour and a half, until Kushina finally passed out as Naruto finished in her for the fourth time that night. Sueki, just as full of her teacher's seed as the slumbering redhead, had tried to go for another round but had fallen limp in her husband's arms not five minutes later.

(Lemon Ends here. You can look now)

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Next Morning

06:21AM

Kushina smiled sweetly and cuddled into Naruto's side, rubbing his stomach in her sleep and nestling her head on his shoulders. Sueki slept on Naruto's other side, her legs curled around her teachers left leg and her arms desperately hugging his left arm to her chest, as if she was dreaming that she would lose him.

The man snored quietly, bringing the two beautiful women closer to himself and allowing them to use him as a body pillow.

His eyes snapped open and his crystal blue eyes flicked to the door.

There was a commotion going on outside.

He glanced at the ladies on his arms, sound asleep, and he hummed in thought. He tried to slip his arm out of Kushina's grip but the woman whined petulantly.

"Nuuuu…" She wiggled into his side and her lips turned upwards into a small, satisfied smile. "Uncle Ruto…shtayyy."

The man tried to tug his arm out of Sueki's grip but the vampire growled, saying firmly in her dream.

"No."

A nervous sweatdrop slid down the side of the masked man's face at the authoritative tone his wife had taken in her sleep, making him wonder what sort of dream she was having.

He counted to five in his head, before he hastily rose up off the bed; a smoke clone took his place and solidified before the two women could notice. The real Naruto sent a thumb up to his clone and the chakra construct nodded back, his eyes resolute to take its boss's place for that moment. The ninja then stealthily hopped off the bed and walked with clipped steps to his grey sweatpants and black shirt, haplessly thrown on the desk at some point a few hours ago. He mussed up his shaggy yellow hair and rubbed at the dark circles under his eyes, gotten from years of worry and lack of much sleep.

Naruto trooped to the door and exited the room, looking around as servants and guards ran up and down before his bedroom door.

He followed the direction most of the servants and guards were taking and ended up in a crowd before a bedroom door, the section of the palace was designated to the guards of the Daimyos when they were not on duty.

"Coming through." the man called but the murmuring and yelling was too loud for them to hear him.

Inside the room, Naruto's keen hearing could detect the sound of cursing.

He recognized Kisame's voice immediately.

Naruto's body dissolved into smoke and he seamlessly passed through the crowd; this was not his Smoke form, it was merely how he bypassed closed doors and tight spaces. He slinked his way into the room and materialized as he got to the front.

Hoshigaki Kisame, drenched in blood and clad only in a pair of-formerly-dark blue boxers, was wildly swinging a fully unfurled Samehada around, snapping at the Snow shinobi that surrounded him, trying to get to him. On his bed, was a badly battered and mutilated corpse; the arms had been shredded down to their elbows and the legs were now mere stumps, the stomach was cut open, spilling out the intestine and bladder and its head had been broken open with some sort of blunt object. Scratches and scrapes littered its naked body.

A woman, from what Naruto was able to discern.

The masked Leader wasted no more than three seconds taking all of this in, before his eyes darkened angrily. He barked. "What the hell is going on here?!"

A hush fell over the crowd as they heard his voice and those behind Naruto shuffled back respectfully. The chakra armour wearing Snow shinobi stopped their attempts at grabbing the wild swordmaster. Kisame visibly calmed down as he saw his master glare at him, then around the room.

"Well?"

Naruto's voice was dangerously low and Kisame ground his teeth, his head fell forward in subservience, though his sword bearing hand was still raised defensively.

The crowd at Naruto's back were pushed back by his black operative guards who had urgently left Light city when multiple alarms in a neighbouring town had been raised.

A brave Snow ninja pointed at Kisame, who bared his teeth but keeping his head down before his Leader. "Hoshigaki Kisame is resisting arrest." He said this as he motioned to the scene of the crime; Kisame's bed.

The Kiri born Dark shinobi looked to his Leader, urgency in his eyes and Naruto's own narrowed as they looked at him.

The Snow ninjas stepped back once as the Dark Leader walked up to Kisame with clipped steps. He glared harder at the swordmaster and Kisame's sword holding hand flopped down. Samehada's scales fell back and its body smoothened, realizing that now was not the time to act wildly. Its holder bowed his torso forward, his heaving chest rising and falling from keeping the Snow ninjas back for the past ten minutes. Now, his mind was panicking on what his Leader was thinking.

"Look at me." Naruto ordered and Kisame, fearing for his life and afraid of what his master would think, did not lift his head, keeping his trunk bowed forward and closing his eyes tightly. Naruto frowned, hard, and he said, this time in a stronger voice. "I said…look at me."

Kisame hesitantly raised his head and stood straight. He looked into his Leader's eyes. "Sir."

The bespectacled Leader pointed at the gruesome crime scene and said. "Did you do this?"

The other Daimyos, besides Mifune, entered the room, walking through the space Naruto's guards created, and silently watched the youngest Daimyo speak to his subordinate.

Kisame shook his head. "I didn't do this, Lord Naruto."

The Ghost in Glasses stared deep into Kisame's black with blue sclera eyes for one long, tense minute.

He frowned deeper as he saw the look in his subordinate's eyes.

"He didn't do it." Naruto said firmly, honestly. Yes, there was a feral look in Kisame's eyes but, with his answer, he didn't detect any lie.

"But sir," the same ninja that had spoken said. "Her blood is all over him!"

Naruto turned around, defensively standing in front of Kisame and crossing his arms. "He said he didn't do it. That means, he didn't do it."

Words could not begin to describe the relief Kisame felt when his master believed him.

There was doubt in his mind at some point, that his master would cast him away and deny him at the sight of his gory scene, but now there wasn't a flicker, or a shadow of a doubt, that his master had his back.

Kisame, standing behind his Leader, slightly bowed, humbled.

Doton tore his eyes away from the carnage on the infamously savage Dark ninja's bed and said. "That isn't how the law works here in Snow country, Lord Naruto." He wasn't smiling warmly now. Now, he looked irritated. "The suspect of a murder will immediately be detained unless he has been proven innocent. And in this case," his seething eyes looked to the dead body, then back to Naruto and the man he was defending. "There is no way your ninja wasn't the one that killed this poor woman. Has he not already done far worse?"

"Let's investigate this then." Naruto said, not budging. Kisame's bloody reputation preceded him but, briefly looking at the scene on the bed once again. "Set up an investigation team, check for prints, check for clues and trace back Kisame's night. Somebody else did this, I'm sure of it."

"It would be a waste of our time and a gross waste of resources!" Doton yelled. Deservedly so; the woman on the bed was from his country. "Someone has to take responsibility for this!"

"Then I'll take responsibility." Naruto said and Doton was taken aback by the quick answer. "Throw me in jail until you find the real culprit."

"T-T-Th-That…" Doton stammered, shell shocked. "Th-There is no need for that."

"No innocent shinobi of mine will spend a day in jail." Not on my watch, Naruto finished in his head. The blonde man suddenly smiled brightly, looking around at the shocked faces of the people in the room. "Now, how are we doing this?"

Side story (unnamed)

Hya! Hya! Hya!

Kushina thrust her palm forward, grunting as it was slapped upwards and adjusting her footing so that she could deliver a kick, which was knocked aside by a swat to her ankle. She ran back in to her opponent and sent over a liver jab to his side, focusing all of her power and speed into that one blow, but was thrown off when the person stepped aside and tripped her as she passed him.

The thirteen year old girl hastily rolled aside from the patiently waiting man standing above her and ran into him again; aiming for a body tackle to, somehow, take him down.

All the man did was lift his knee and she ran straight into it, face first.

She saw nothing for a split second, her mind slowly beginning to reel after running into the sturdy knee, and grunted in pain as a Spartan kick to her chest pushed her back, plopping her onto the ground.

"You're telegraphing your attacks, Kushina." A stern voice said to her, watching as his student shook her head to clear the stars from her vision. The knee to her face had hit her square on the forehead, between her eyes, thankfully not crushing her nose, but it hurt like hell. She rubbed the spot and winced. Naruto's eyes narrowed and he said. "Stand up."

The girl got up as quickly as he frazzled body allowed her.

"Is this what you'll be doing during the chunin exams? Rush in and overpower them?" the masked teacher said harshly. He had his hands behind his back and his back straight, his student copied his posture as best as she could and she raised her chin to meet his eyes, being as respectful to her teacher as possible during this sort of in-field training. "What if your opponent is a trap expert? What if your opponent is a poison expert?"

"I…can find a way around the traps with my clones."

"Shadow clones aren't everything, Kushina." The teacher said in a strong voice and the girls head dipped down, lowering her eyes to the ground. The man looked at the obedient, yet fierily stubborn, Uzumaki and he frowned. "Some of the things I do is that I move with the moment, and follow through with the momentum; one attack leads into another and another and another, a chain of attacks, fluid counters and dodges." He tapped her forehead. "Don't think…do."

"But, Naruto-sensei, how do I do that?"

"…There are two things you can do…" he said and stepped back. She took this as her cue to get into her fighting style of choice, and in her case it was the Vortex fist of Uzushiogakure. Naruto didn't take any noticeable stance, but his hands were at his sides, speaking to her on how she could use her fighting style that used brute force, ease of flexibility and stamina, though also cluing to her how he sometimes fought. "First is the straightforward approach but no projection of your attacks," here he punched forward, a simple attack to her face, and she stumbled back, unknowing that he had stopped barely an inch from her head. He waited for her to get back onto her feet and back into her stance, continuing. "The other is you project the hell out of your attacks."

This time he dragged his right arm back, making sure to adjust to her height and moving at a somewhat fast speed, fast enough for her to see and expect his blow. He went through all the motions; his torso and hip twisted to his right a little, his right elbow bent and his hand closed into a fist. She raised her guard, ready for the fist, but instead her teachers left foot shot up as his right fist was readily notched, moving at the very same speed as the fist would have if it had shot forward. His foot lightly tapped her at the side of the head, indicating that he had tagged her.

She did not realize that his leg had been moving up as his fist was moving back.

Her uncle had made sure to attract her attention to his fist, taking her notice from his foot.

Kushina's eyes widened in wonder and her blonde teacher cracked a smile at her mystified expression.

"The first kind of attack can be used on people you think are not as strong as you, but make sure you don't get cocky. You need to be faster to pull it off on the first few tries against your opponents." She bobbed her head excitedly, still thinking of the last kind of attack, which he explained next. "The other kind of attack is for people you consider stronger than you, who you think should you should use roundabout, evasive tactics to go about taking them down." he scratched his chin and said. "Personally, I used both kinds of attacks for everyone, depending on how I feel that day but," he emphasized the last word. "I mainly use the second kind against more physically imposing people and against doujutsu holders, including but not limited to the sharingan and the byakugan."

People like Kisame, who was just as tall as Naruto but was more muscular and buffer, were who Naruto used evasive, distracting fighting tactics against. It was also this kind of fighting, using it in tandem with one of the fighting styles he knew, that he was able to defeat Nagato in a fight, as long as the rinnegan holder kept using hand-to-hand, otherwise Naruto would have to use a wider array of tactics to win the fight.

"Someone with a sharingan can already see probability an attack with relative accuracy but now, if you use evasive strikes, you bombard them with many more probabilities."

He demonstrated again using the same example.

He pulled his arm back, but this time Kushina anticipated the kick, though that foot didn't leave the ground but instead Naruto's left fingers tapped her forehead. He looked like he was about to give a simple, routine straight punch but instead thrust the fingers of his hand forward.

The glasses wearing man tapped her forehead once more.

"Watch again." He flicked his pointer and middle fingers to his eyes and said sternly. "Concentrate, Kushina."

This time, he led with his left fist and the girl parried correctly by swiping it aside, though she didn't see him fractionally step closer and his left elbow coming to her face as she moved his fist away, lightly tapping the side of her face.

There were a number of ways he could have gone about that very same evasive attack, Kushina thought in realization. He could have struck her face with his elbow, used the cover of his left fist to jab her stomach once she parried the blow, stepped on her feet, lodge a knee in her abdomen, a headbutt…

Her teacher smirked as he saw it click in her mind.

"You can use your clones for the second kind of attacks, once you get inventive." And he knew the young redhead was plenty inventive.

"B-But," she stammered, coming out of her mind, which was flooded with ways she could use the knowledge her teacher was passing onto her. "Didn't you say I shouldn't use my clones?"

"I didn't say not to use them; I said not to depend on them for everything." He clarified smoothly, showing her another misdirecting attack, which she almost got correctly; a right knee to the stomach but it turned out to be a stomp on her right foot, though not as brutal as he would use on the battlefield. "You have an unbelievable amount of chakra, Kushina. If you can summon clones without using hand signs, then there are endless possibilities for you when it comes to hand-to-hand." she nodded her head, her purple eyes now swimming with ideas. Naruto smiled gently as he saw her contemplative face, as she tried to see under the layers of attacks from her uncle, attempting to find the true attack.

Kushina was a very creative and adaptable girl.

She hadn't yet mastered the ability of summoning clones without hand seals, but he was certain she would find a way.

The Uzumaki clans Vortex fist was a rigid fighting style that emphasized strength and persistence, Naruto was teaching Kushina how to loosen up her stance and become more flexible.

Kushina was lucky enough to be born with an outstanding sensory ability that gave her full knowledge of her environment at all times. This full sensory ability-not touch sensor or taste sensor-, coupled with her Chakra chains bloodline were the two reasons Naruto was leaking a little bit of his own fighting style into the Vortex fist, seeing as the girl could leave her back completely open but was fully capable of sensing and neutralizing threats using those two rare Uzumaki skills.

Naruto wasn't lucky enough to be a sensor but he was very much aware of his environments most of the time from training his mind and body to detect minute signs and tells around him. The masked man's Smoke release was similar to Kushina's chakra chains in the sense that they couldn't just be used to poison targets but also to physically grab, drag, entangle, pierce or simply fashion temporary weapons. Like many years ago that Onion had captured Danzo and brought the war hawk to Dark country; Naruto had grabbed Danzo and slammed him back into the chair once the old man had tried to escape using a tendril of smoke that had come out of the big toe on his right foot.

Sueki was like Kushina in the sense that she was also a sensor, albeit not in the normal sense, seeing as the vampire could sense the presence of any being, living or not, as long as the creature had blood in their system, or some sort of bodily fluid that sustained their lives. Her only known limitation were corpses that had been dead for longer than a year.

The blonde sensei was teaching his only two students to surpass him.

He took three steps back and motioned for her to come.

"Try it."

Some weeks later, Kushina would use the very same lessons her uncle taught her to win the Chunin Exams final tournament.
