Chapter one: Prologue. (Part one.)
It was late at night in Konoha as the form of one Naruto Uzumaki could be seen walking through the streets, humming a small tune to himself. Though if one looked close enough, one could see his eyes darting from side to side as he kept an eye out for potential danger. For tonight was his birthday, and this was usually the night where certain kinds of people would come out looking to make trouble for him.
While none of his previous confrontations resulted in violence, he wasn't going to push his luck. He stopped when he took notice that there was a small crowd of people gathered outside his apartment. Even from this distance, he could smell alcohol in the air. it seemed like they had been drinking… heavily. This was the time of year when the Konoha Civilians' hearts ached the most, that mixed with booze could be a dangerous combination.
They hadn't yet taken notice of him, so he decided to take the chance to sneak by and avoid potential danger. Fortunately, he had a number of hiding places for this time of the year. He turned on his heel and began walking in the opposite direction towards an old mansion that was sitting on the edge of the Red Light District..
It had been resting there for… as long as anyone could remember it really. Supposedly it had been built at the very founding of Konoha, before the Red Light District came to be. But the odd thing was, no one could remember who built it, why it was built, much less anyone ever living there to begin with. It was known as the Hellsing manor, and was often something of a 'ghost story' in Konoha, only this one seemed to actually exist. There were often reports of strange lights and figures that could be seen from the windows, usually on a full moon or Friday the 13th. He would sometimes sneak into the mansion and hide his numerous supplies for pranks, or hide there until he felt it was safe to return home.
After all, aside from himself, there didn't seem to be anyone brave… or foolish enough to try and enter that place. At last he came upon Hellsing manor, the familiar iron and vine-wrapped gates creating an ominous picture. He grabbed onto the multitude of vines and used them to climb his way up and hop over the fence, of course he was careful to avoid the spikes at the top.
He landed on the other side with a soft thud and whistled a small tune to himself as he entered the mansion through a window he always kept open by a smidge. "Hello to the house!" He shouted out, his voice echoing across the empty halls. With a small chuckle he closed the window behind him.
Feeling hungry, he headed towards the kitchen area where he always kept a cache of snacks around this time of year in case he needed to hide away. "Yummy yum yum. Time to get in my tummy tum tum." He sang to himself as he grabbed a duffel bag stashed in the kitchen pantry and placed it on a nearby table, pulling out some of the goodies inside and tearing open the packets of sweets and greedily gobbling them down with gusto.
Once he had finished with his snack attack, he decided to pass the time by exploring the mansion since it was filled with numerous passageways and secrets. Whoever had lived here seemed to be strongly versed with the occult and had books covering all sorts of rituals, types of magic, seals, wards, and monsters that he had read over in the library. Whoever made this place certainly had some strange tastes. Interesting, but strange.
He felt a chill run up his spine and the hairs on his neck standing on end, like someone was watching him. An all-too-familiar feeling he would receive on each visit. He looked behind him and… found nothing to be there. He clicked his tongue in annoyance, knowing for sure he was being watched since Hinata would often follow him around herself, although in this mansion the feeling was much more subtle… and he couldn't ever find the observer in this place.
Shrugging, he started to tap the walls with the back of his hand, searching for any hollow spots that may signal a potentially hidden passage which had become something of a routine for him. He had already found five different passageways throughout the mansion, but he believed there to be more.
He would also pull on mounted candelabra, search for pressure plates, check each and every book to see if it was a switch and pretty much any other trick in the book he could think of. It was as if the place was some giant puzzle, and he was certainly going to try his best to solve it. He stopped for a moment as he observed a painting, one of many scattered throughout the mansion.
This one depicts two blonde women, one wearing some kind of police uniform while carrying a… for lack of a better word, a cannon. And the other was a woman with dark skin wearing glasses and holding a rapier. Humming to himself, he continued on his way encountering more pictures along the way, each one depicting a different woman.
He tried to read the nameplates on each portrait, but they seemed to have been scratched off for reasons unknown. Probably not a good sign. Were they the original owners? The Builders of this place? Hard to say really. His musing was broken when he heard a soft rumbling noise that kind of reminded him of… snoring? He had never heard anything like that on his previous visits.
He carefully stepped forward, following the source of the noise out into a large ballroom-like area with a large set of stairs that led to the upper floors… except the stairs had been parted revealing a passageway that he hadn't yet discovered. Had someone else come here and had better luck than him? To be fair, he did find the first one by a bit of blind luck when he sat in a chair and leaned back into it, causing it to open a passage to the library.
His curiosity getting the better of his sense of reason, he entered through the opening and saw a golden light shining from down below. He tilted his head a little as he slowly descended down, cautiously stepping forward a bit at a time… until he slipped on something and started to slide down. After a few short seconds, he landed on something hard with a crunch sound. Making him shut his eyes and wince in pain.
"Oh that hurt." He muttered in pain as he slowly got onto his feet, when he opened his eyes, he found that there were gold coins beneath his feet. He blinked several times, wondering if he was having some kind of a dream… because if this wasn't a dream… then he had found a treasure trove.
His gaze slowly traveled upward, spotting more and more gold coins, and chalices, and silver, and jewelry, and large gemstones the size of watermelons. On and on this wealth stretched out until it seemed as though the collected wealth resembled a vast ocean. "Oh my holy god." Was all the blonde could mutter as he felt his breath almost taken away. With this much wealth, even if all the Daimyo's pooled their own wealth… they would never be able to match this amount.
"This was all beneath Konoha the whole time? And no one ever knew?" He muttered in astonishment. His ears perked up as he heard the sound of stone grinding, he looked behind him and saw the entrance he fell through closing behind him and slammed shut with a booming noise. The blonde groaned as he hoped there was another way out.
Not much point to all of this wealth if he couldn't use it. Hmming to himself, he began to march forward in search of an exit, the sounds of coins clicking, sliding and crunching beneath his feet with every step. All the while, he got a strong feeling he was being watched once more… though this time he could feel several sets of eyes on him. He sensed a myriad of emotions behind these gazes, desire, curiosity, and hunger being the most obvious ones.
He swallowed dryly, feeling much like a bug beneath a microscope and called out "Hello? Anyone out there?" all he received was silence, not that he was honestly expecting an answer anyway. Before he could take another step forward, he felt something grab his ankles, holding him in place, and then a pair of blades were placed at his neck.
"Stay still. Or you may never move again." Warned a pair of female voices, belonging to a pair of what appeared to be twin sisters who held their blades at his throat. While beneath him poking her head out from the river of gold was a blonde haired woman with cat ears who had a saucy grin on her face as she spoke "You heard the Twins. Don't do anything stupid and we might keep you here for our… entertainment."
Naruto gulped a bit, wondering what she meant by that. Though given her slightly flushed face and the husky tone she used… he could take an accurate guess. "We've been observing you for a while now. Every year, around the same time, you come to our mansion and linger topside. We decided to indulge the simple curiosity of a child… but now it seems you're getting a little too close to home for our liking." Spoke another voice, belonging to a woman with icy blue hair wearing a military cap.
"So we decided to leave the doorway open and let the sugar draw the fly. Now you're caught in our web." One of the Twins spoke with a slightly sadistic cackle. While her counterpart stared impassively at the boy. Naruto gaped as he recognized the bluenette from one of the many portraits he had observed in the mansion. The only possible conclusion for how she could look exactly the same as when that portrait was made could be…
"Are you guys some kind of Vampire Coven or something? If so, I'm sorry for intruding on your turf. Really. I had no idea you were all still living here." He tried to apologize, hoping to placate them. His words earned a small series of giggles.
"You're not entirely wrong, bouya. This is a Coven of sorts, but not strictly of vampires. I am a Yuki-Onna. Leone is a Feline Kobold. Though Saya and Diva are a cousin species of Vampire I suppose. Now then, what might your name be? If you behave, we won't have any reason to slit your throat. You can call me General Esdeath." The bluenette spoke as she drew a rapier and gently placed the tip against his cheek.
Gulping a little, the blonde decided it would be best to cooperate with them and replied "My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I promise that I won't tell anyone about you. Really. So could you please let me go?" He asked at the end, hoping that they would find it in their hearts to release him… instead they seemed shocked for some reason with the General grabbing a fistful of his hair and glaring at him hard, her face bare inches from his own.
"Don't play games with me. You don't have the signature red hair… unless you're of mixed heritage. Tell me… who were your parents?" The General asked, cocking an eyebrow upward as she stared at him dead in the eyes, searching for any kind of deception.
"How should I know? I'm an orphan! I just came to this mansion on my birthday to hide from the other villagers!" He replied back in blunt honesty, unsure of how to answer a question he didn't know the answer to.
"You mean to say that your birthday, so happens to be tonight on October the tenth?" She asked him, earning a quick nod from the boy. Humming in thought, the bluenette lowered her blade and smirked a little as she spoke with a thin smile "Is that so? Well then… let's go confirm if you are who we may believe you to be. Though if this is some trick, I'll make you plead for the gift of death as your birthday present." The General warned him as the catgirl Leone dragged him along as the Twins followed close behind, their blades never leaving his neck.
They traveled through the vast treasury as the blonde wondered why they were here. They had all this wealth sitting directly under their feet, so it was plausible for them to go… almost anywhere really. But why was his hair such a big concern for that matter? And perhaps more importantly, what did they mean by 'mixed heritage?'
His musing was interrupted when he was tossed to the ground, his face buried in one of many mounds of gold coins. when he pulled his head out he found himself surrounded by women of all manner of shapes and sizes. Some of them appeared to be human, others having additional features such as animal body parts and the like. He could see a Harpy, A centaur, and other such creatures that he currently couldn't remember the names of.
Another blonde woman was now standing above him, her arms decorated with snake like tattoos as she leered at him like a piece of meat, almost as though she were ready to gobble him up. "Well, if it isn't the little brat that's been sticking his nose where it doesn't belong. You know that curiosity killed the cat right? No offense to Leone-chan." The woman spoke with a chilling smirk, the little joke making the catgirl in question chuckle a bit.
Before the whiskered teen could say anything, Esdeath beat him to the punch and said "This boy calls himself Naruto Uzumaki. Born October the tenth. If he is the real deal, he must be the late Kushina-sama's offspring." At her announcement, the many women began to mutter amongst themselves in curiosity and suspicion.
"Is that so?" Boomed a feminine voice as the numerous mounds of treasure began to stir, piles of gold fell away revealing glittering silver pillars hidden beneath… only for said pillars beginning to stir and lift themselves up, making the boy realize that they were actually the coils of a serpent. And then he found eight heads of a serpent staring down at his form, their forked tongues occasionally flicking out as their golden eyes stared down at him.
He could only guess… that this creature was the fabled Yamata no Orochi. The eight headed serpent that even the gods feared. One of the heads approached, her forked tongue flicking out a few times before she spoke "Hmm. If he is an Uzumaki, his tainted blood makes it difficult to tell. His scent is all muddled by the filth and rot of Konoha. There is but one way to be certain...Can I have a volunteer taste his blood?"
"eh? My blood?" the blonde asked a little nervously, knowing that would mean the Vampires within this strange Coven would suck out his blood. From the sidelines, a black haired woman with dazzling green eyes wearing a… very skimpy red bathing suit of some kind approached, her fangs jutting out with a small 'snikt' noise making the boy sweat a bit nervously.
He wanted to scramble away, but Leone now had his arms pinned behind his back and kept him on his knees. The black haired vampire straddled him, pressing her bust against his chest as she cooed into his ear. "Don't worry. I'll be gentle." Before he could open his mouth to protest, he felt her fangs pierce through his skin and flesh. There was a momentary flash of pain, and then… it quickly melted into pleasure as he felt a feeling of euphoria enter his mind. His vision turning slightly hazy groaned in pleasure.
He could feel his blood being sucked out as she greedily drank his life essence. He wanted to tell her to stop, but all he could do was shudder and moan as he felt like he was on cloud nine, his body becoming more and more weightless with each long and drawn out swallow from the Vampire. She gripped him tighter, grinding her body against his, her breasts rubbing against the fabric of his clothes while her crotch rubbed against a growing erection in his pants. Finally, she released him as her fangs left his neck, a few crimson droplets staining her lips until she lapped them up by slowly dragging her tongue across her lips.
"No question about it… there's Bijuu chakra in his blood. Most definitely the Kyuubi's." The black haired woman announced, earning some joyful and surprised yells from all the others.
The Yamata's heads all seemed to grin as she spoke "And the only kind of blood capable of containing the Kyuubi… belongs to an Uzumaki. Welcome dear one. Forgive our caution, but this isn't the first time that someone has sought out the treasures of Uzu."
Naruto shook his head from side to side, trying to clear out the pleasurable haze in his mind as he responded "Treasures of Uzu? And why's my blood so special anyway? Well… aside from containing the Kyuubi that is."
"Well, bluntly put, you are the descendant of a clan called the Uzumaki's. A clan of fearsome crimson haired warriors that were renowned for their skills with a blade and the sealing arts, in the old days they were also renowned hunters of monsters. The most skilled of hunters binding their captured prey into serving the clan.
For many years, the Uzumaki's accumulated vast amounts of wealth. Knowing of the dangers that such treasure would bring, they hid it beneath the one place no one would ever think to look… below the feet of the peoples of Konoha. We were all tasked to guard this treasure and serve any Uzumaki who found us.
However, some years ago, Uzu was attacked by a coalition of villages, seeking the near mythical wealth of Uzu, the Uzumaki's fought back with all they had, waiting for aid from their closest Ally Konoha… but no help came. Save for one Survivor who came to Konoha to be the next Jinchuuriki after the Shodaime's wife, Mito Uzumaki.
That survivor was called Kushina Uzumaki. She found us years ago and told us of what happened to Uzu, strongly believing that someone in Konoha wanted Uzu to be destroyed, she believed there was a large conspiracy at work, so she requested that we continue to remain hidden until she identified the true enemy of her fallen clan. We waited and waited, but she never came. Due to the binding seals, we could not leave here since that would be disobeying her orders.
Since we could not leave the mansion grounds, we waited in the mansion's walls out of sight and mind from the rest of the village and listened to occasional snippets of information from passing villagers, from what we gathered, the Yondaime Hokage supposedly killed the Kyuubi on October the 10th. We knew that to be a lie since Bijuu cannot be killed, at least not permanently. Even if they die, be it in battle or with their hosts, they would simply reform again.
We listened and waited, but heard nothing of the Kyuubi's return… meaning the beast had hidden itself from the world. Or had been placed into another host, another Uzumaki since only they can contain such raw power. And it seems… fate has brought you to our door." The Yamata finished with a small grin, her golden eyes glowing for a brief moment.
"So… I'm a member of a clan? And… wait… does that mean I can give orders to you?" He asked, now realizing he had a veritable army and virtually unlimited wealth at his disposal.
"Yes on both counts. Naturally the mansion aboveground couldn't be called 'Uzumaki Manor' that would have been way too obvious for potential thieves." Esdeath announced with a smirk as she tipped her hat a little.
"I guess that makes sense but… I wonder why I wasn't ever told about my heritage? Scratch that last question… I don't remember ever reading about a village called Uzu before. One would think that the destruction of an entire village attacked by multiple villages would make the history pages." Naruto mused aloud as he gained a puzzled expression. Something wasn't right about that.
"Indeed. You'd best be careful who you speak to about this and who you trust." Warned Saya Otonashi with a small glare, her twin Diva nodded in agreement.
"This… this is all a lot to take in. I… need to think about this for a spell. Let it all sink in." He mumbled to himself, earning some nods from the various females. A large amount of information had been dumped on him. The Jinchuuriki now knew he was part of a clan, the most likely reason he was chosen to contain the Bijuu and… perhaps most importantly… he now had a name. The name of the only person that could be his mother. Kushina.
It stood to reason, she most likely perished in the Kyuubi attack if she was the previous host. But if that were the case, how did the Bijuu break free and attack Konoha to begin with? He grumbled in thought and sighed, his mind now filled with more questions than answers. At least for the time being, a few questions had been answered.
"I feel like I need to lie down." He announced tiredly, making the others nod once more. Though they were pretty sure whatever exhaustion he was feeling was due in part to the blood draining he experienced earlier… The first time is often the most intense for the unprepared.
"Our home is your home. Feel free to make use of the mansion and everything in it. It is all rightfully yours, Naruto-sama." The Yamata spoke, dipping her heads down as if bowing to him, with all the others following suit. When they all raised their heads again, the eight headed serpent announced "We can do introductions and the like when you're feeling more rested. Enjoy your evening."
With that said, the blonde stumbled forward a bit, as though he were in a drunken stupor as he made his way towards the vault's entryway which was now open once more. Not that he was actually paying attention, the only thing on his mind right now was finding a bed to collapse into and try to sort out his thoughts.
In the background, a certain police girl asked the blacke haired Vampire that had drained the boy "So Vampirella… how'd he taste?"
The now identified Vampirella smirked as she licked her lips again and answered "Absolutely scrumptious."
The next morning.
Naruto groaned sleepily as his eyes fluttered open, he slowly lifted himself up and stretched out his limbs, making his joints create popping sounds. He found himself in one of the many bedrooms of the mansion, the previous night's memories all flooding back to him. He swung his legs out and planted them onto the floor… only to notice that his bed felt unusually squishy and jiggly. He lightly bounced on it a few times, wondering if it was some kind of water bed. He didn't remember it being like that last night.
All of a sudden, the bed seemed to be moving on its own, making him jump out in surprise and leap to his feet. When he turned around, he saw a mass of green and blue slime warbled until it took the shape of a girl that was smiling at him. "Ohayo Master! Me Suu!" She greeted him happily.
He tilted his head a little bit and realized that the girl in question could only be a slime. Apparently she must have acted as his mattress at some point in the night… not that he was complaining… she was… very soft.
"It's nice to meet you Suu." He responded shyly, finding her pure and innocent gaze to be rather cute. He then glanced over at a nearby table clock and realized that he had slept in. He was certainly going to be late for the Academy if he didn't hurry. He glanced down and suddenly took notice… he wasn't wearing any clothes, save for his boxers.
"Umm… Suu? Where are my clothes? I know I wore them while I was sleeping." The whiskered teen asked, his face flushing a deep crimson from his embarrassment.
The slime giggled and replied "Suu melted ugly clothes." Her response made the blonde jaw-drop in horror… he wasn't looking forward to running to his apartment to change clothes, not even with a henge to hide his current state of undress. He wanted to scold Suu for melting his clothes without his say-so… but that innocent look of his made him swallow his frustration… he couldn't bear to make such a sweet looking creature cry.
"Erm… Suu, do you know if there's any spare clothes around I can change into? I really don't want to have to dash over to my old apartment." The blonde begged, fortunately, his question was immediately answered when the slime nodded her head.
With a giggle she flatted her gelatinous form against the floor and quickly slid under the door with ease. After a few moments, a knock was heard at the door and it opened revealing a silver haired woman with the lower body of a spider. An arachne, he believed her species was called.
"Good morning master. Suu was just telling me you needed a change of clothes. You may refer to me as Rachnera, or Rachnee if you're so inclined. I have a special outfit just for you." The silver haired woman gleefully spoke and pulled out a black trench-coat with a crimson tank top and a pair of jeans to go with it.
"I wasn't sure what you liked, so I kept it fairly simple. They are made of my own high-quality threads which are highly resilient to wear and tear." She proudly announced and handed him the fresh clothes to him.
"Wow. Thanks… you just happened to already have this made?" The whiskered teen questioned with a small tilt of his head since this seemed a little… convenient.
"Naturally. After seeing those atrocious orange… clothes of yours, I just had to make something more fitting for you. Let me know if it's too loose or too tight in certain 'places' and I'll happily make adjustments." Rachnera responded, her eyes glancing down to his boxers which had a sizeable tent due to his morning wood. With that said, she shuffled out to give him his privacy, allowing him to change into his new clothes.
Once he was ready, he ran out the door towards the Academy to avoid being late, knowing that Iruka would use any excuse to punish him. When he made it through the front doors of the mansion, he left a cloud of dust behind him in his wake, when the dust settled a female figure could be seen standing in the doorway. Her skin a pale and pasty white with black hair and yellow serpentine eyes, wearing a loose fitting black kimono with purple snake designs on the sleeves, watching Naruto's retreating form.
"Medusa… take the Twins. Find out what you can about this boy's life. Observe and protect him." The Yamata ordered with a serene smile, the lower part of her kimono shifting a little as the blonde Witch appeared with a fiendish grin.
"Doesn't that go against Kushina's orders to remain here? What about the binding seals?" Medusa questioned, though she had a knowing smile all the same.
"Don't ask questions you already know the answers to. The Binding seals have certain rules, and the young master's presence has changed numerous circumstances. Protecting him supersedes any previous orders." The yamata replied with a sneer as one of her serpent heads appeared from beneath her Kimono and hissed in the Witch's face.
"Right. He seemed to be in a hurry… probably off to the Academy or something. I'll start my research there. By the way… he's definitely a fine looking specimen. I look forward to some genetic experimentation with him." The witch answered with a lustful smile.
The pale woman sighed a little, knowing that years spent guarding that vault has left the various females sexual needs in an unsatisfied state. And monster girls were known to act on instinct, impulse, and emotion instead of any real logic. And with the presence of a new master, who so happens to be a male well… even she can hold back the dam for so long before it reaches its breaking point.
"Business first. Pleasure later. Although, the young master is still a teenager in the throes of discovering the fairer sex, I am sure he would love to explore the many pleasures of the flesh. For now, keep on track." The mythical serpent answered, making the witch bob her head in acknowledgment. For now, she'd keep an eye on the kid and dig up any worthwhile information. The better they understood him and his situation as the current Jinchuuriki, the more effectively they could serve and protect him.
Later. Konoha Academy.
"Made it." Naruto muttered to himself as he plopped into his usual seat with a sigh, though he had only made it by the skin of his teeth before the bell rang, at least for now he wouldn't be chewed out by the teachers. He found himself sitting between both Ino and Hinata, the former being one of the few Sasuke fangirls who seemed to still have a working brain, and the latter his not-so-secret stalker.
He noticed that the two were staring at him rather… intently, making him ask "What? Do I have something on my face?" At his question, Ino playfully giggled knowing that he was as dense as ever.
"Nope. It's just… the new clothes you're wearing look good on you. The red and black motif really suits you. At least it's better looking than that awful orange getup. Why would you wear such an eyesore?" She asked at the end since that had been a question that had bugged her for some time now.
"Bargain bin sale. They were cheap. No real excuse." He answered bluntly, leaving out the part that his limited stipend kept him from doing any serious clothes shopping, and his usual outfit was one of the more affordable sets he could squeeze into his budget.
Ino shrugged her shoulders, accepting his answer while the whiskered boy reached into his desk and fished out a history book and began to flip through the pages, looking for any mention of the village of Uzu to be certain if he had or had not missed it before. Hinata pressed her fingers together and asked him while trying to suppress her stutter "Are you trying to study something in particular N-Naruto-kun? If so, I… I'd be happy to help."
Naruto glanced over at the Hyuuga heiress and replied "Maybe. I'm looking for something about a village called Uzu." His statement caught the attention of both Heiress as they gained some looks of confusion since they themselves had never heard of such a place. Their curiosity piqued they also collected their own history books and began to carefully skim over the contents as well, starting from the founding of the village to present day, but they couldn't find any mentioning of the word 'Uzu' in the pages.
"Nothing here. You sure Uzu is a real village?" Ino asked a little skeptically, if such a village existed then surely there would be some mentioning of it.
"Yeah. At least… it did exist at one point of time. From my understanding, it was destroyed some years ago by a combined force of several other villages." He replied bluntly, clasping his hands behind his head. His words earned a pair of puzzled expressions from the two heiresses.
"Really? If that happened, why isn't there anything in our books about it?" Ino asked in a rhetorical manner, though her fellow blonde was silently wondering the same exact thing. That would have to be put on hold for the time being since Iruka was about to start the class, now he had to sit and pretend that he was listening to one of the scarred Chunin's lectures… good thing he trained himself how to sleep with his eyes open
Meanwhile.
Medusa hummed to herself as she sat in an office chair with her feet propped on top of a nearby desk. She was currently busying herself by going through the Academy records within the archives, while in the background the Otonashi twins were keeping watch for any unwelcome company, each twin brandishing a wooden katana since their actual blades would have likely attracted attention.
The witch first started with the file of the new master, Naruto Uzumaki himself. As it turns out, his school record was so twisted up and broken that not even a politician could get it fixed. From the first year he entered the Academy, every exam, every test, everything had been rigged against him from the jump.
There were various notes in here made by a 'Iruka Umino', some of them mentioning the boy's unnaturally high chakra reserves thus making it impossible for him to perform the Academy taught Clone Jutsu. The idea was that the boy was to be kept a prisoner in the Academy, and have him fail and repeat each year until he became too old to attend or have him give up being a ninja, whichever came first.
"It would seem the teachers here have been attempting to sabotage Naruto-sama. This matter cannot be ignored." The blonde witch hissed out as she looked over at a nearby printer and decided to make a copy of her findings. It might come in handy later. As the machine did its work to create a copy of her master's file, she decided to try and dig up some dirt on this 'Iruka' person. For some reason, just from hearing the name she felt like he was an unimportant person. But still, best to be thorough.
After shuffling through some more files, she found one on the man in question and began reading it over. From the looks of it, there was nothing genuinely remarkable about this guy. Just a run-of-the-mill Chunin who became an Academy teacher, she looked deeper into his past, found that he was something of a class clown and struggling student back in his days as a student. Deciding to go further back even more to leave no stone unturned… that's when she found something.
Apparently his parents were amongst the casualty list from the night of the Kyuubi attack, leaving him an orphan. That would definitely serve as a strong motivation for sabotaging her master. Smirking a little bit, the witch decided to report back to the Yamata as soon as possible. "I'm heading back to the manor, you two stick around and watch over Naruto-sama." The witch instructed, earning nods from the Twins. Medusa collected the freshly printed evidence and departed with a smirk, knowing full well how appreciative her master would be if they helped solve whatever problems he was experiencing.
Perhaps appreciative enough to partake in some… experimentation. Most particularly regarding copulation.
Later.
"Just look at the smug ass. He may not look like it, but he's soaking in all the attention." Naruto grumbled with a sneer as he observed a class spar between Sasuke and some random student he couldn't remember the name of. He actually felt a little sorry for the guy who was now the Uchiha's punching bag, a position that he himself had been in countless times.
Ino glared at her fellow blonde and asked him in a snarky tone "You're just jealous because you're not the golden boy. What's your beef with Sasuke-kun anyway?" She asked at the end since it was no secret that Naruto and Sasuke had always hated one another, though no one was sure why.
Naruto sighed deeply as he responded "Bluntly put… it's because Sasuke has had virtually everything handed to him. He hasn't really earned anything on his own. His status, his money, his natural talent. He hasn't had to work for any of it. And most importantly, he had the chance to have a family and make some happy memories with them, but I never even had that chance. And he isn't even grateful for any of it. So… yeah. Maybe I am a little jealous in some regard." The whiskered teen stated with brutal honesty, earning a more sympathetic look from Ino.
"Color me crazy, but in all this time, have you ever noticed a particular trend when Sasuke is paired against someone in class spars?" Naruto questioned as he crossed his arms, his words making Ino wonder what he was going on about. "The hell are you talking about?" She asked him.
"Sasuke is always paired with either some random Civilian kid, or against myself. In neither case can a Civilian student or me be able to keep up with Sasuke and his clan's taijutsu. It should also be noted that Sasuke has never been paired against Kiba, who's clan is more Taijutsu oriented, or against Shino who is more of a strategizer." Naruto explained as he scratched his cheek with a lone finger, his eyes casting a heated gaze towards the ground.
His words caused the Yamanaka to want to say he was overthinking it, but she paused since she couldn't ever remember a time when Sasuke sparred against Kiba or anyone that was at least somewhat competent in Taijutsu. "Something you want to say, Dobe?" Asked the condescending voice of the Uchiha who had exited the sparring ring and had overheard their conversation, or at least a part of it.
The Jinchuuriki scowled a bit and replied "Yeah Teme. I think you're being spoon-fed inferior opponents by the teachers so that you can stay in the number one spot." At that, the self-proclaimed Avenger frowned deeply before letting out his signature 'hn' sound and smirked.
"Prove it then Dobe." The Uchiha curtly replied, causing the Uzumaki's face to turn crimson in anger and frustration, desperately wishing that he were able to prove it, even if only to wipe that smug expression off the Uchiha's face.
"I wish I could. I really do. Till then, just keep thinking about how 'great' you are. The arrogant ones are amongst the quickest to die." Naruto spit back, and turned his back to the Uchiha to put some distance between them, only to be shoved into the dirt, making him face-plant in the ground.
"Don't ever turn your back on an Uchiha Elite. And don't you dare backtalk your superiors 'Dead Last'." Sasuke growled out, glaring down at the whiskered teen… and then a loud crack was heard as a wooden katana slammed into the back of the Uchiha's head, making him lurch forward, and then a second smashed into his face, breaking his nose with a loud snap. The blow knocking him off his feet causing him to fall flat on his back.
"I'm not one to randomly pick fights without just cause, but I'll always beat up a bully." Spoke the form Saya as she and her twin stood over the fallen Uchiha before making their way over to their master, they helped him up and brushed his clothes off before checking for any potential injuries. Many of the students gaped at what happened, with some of the male students pleasantly surprised that the Uchiha was finally knocked down a peg, while the females, most especially the Uchiha Fangirls gaped in horror at the scene.
Naruto blinked a few times before asking "Saya and Diva right? What're you two doing here?"
"Looking after you. You're welcome." Diva responded with a giggle, then her face fell into a bored expression as she muttered "On the left." She thrust out her wooden katana, which tripped the form of Sasuke who attempted to punch the side of her head, as he fell forward, Saya kicked her leg up, slamming her knee into the Uchiha's jaw, sending him skidding back to the ground while the twins looked at him with a mixture of disinterest and annoyance.
"Kid said he was an Uchiha, right? Isn't that the clan of arrogant pricks with the overpowered eyes? Can we squish his eyeballs?" Diva asked with some sadistic glee at the thought.
"Tempting, but we aren't here for that." Saya muttered as she hooked one arm around Naruto's own with her twin doing the same to his other arm. "Time for a quick escape." The twins spoke in unison and then began dragging their master out of the Academy grounds. Naruto wasn't exactly certain if he should protest or not… but then again at least he wouldn't have to hear the screams of the Fangirls when their minds regained basic functionality… if even that.
"Appreciate the save girls. But uhh, I can walk by myself if I'm gonna skip out on school." He spoke with a small shrug, deciding to just roll with whatever happened next. If they had heard him, the twins didn't seem to show it since they continued to drag him away, presumably back to the mansion. He would likely get into some kind of trouble about this incident, but for the time being, anywhere was better than the Academy.
A bit later.
"How could this happen?!" Iruka angrily asked himself as he hurriedly marched back to the Academy. He had entrusted the class spars to his assistant Mizuki so he could head off for a lunch break and relax for a bit, he wanted to satisfy his sweet tooth and chose to get a slushie. It was a good thing he had informed the silver haired Chunin where he would be… because he had received a phone call from him, apparently Naruto had gotten into an altercation of some sort and Sasuke, and the Uchiha had been beaten up by a pair of unknown Twins who definitely weren't students.
He took a shortcut through a nearby alleyway… only to bump into somebody, his slushie fell out of his hands and spilled onto the stranger. He looked and found it to be a young looking girl, with crimson eyes, straight black hair and a petite and slender frame. She wore a black office shirt with a white vest on top, white pants, shoes and trench coat, and a crimson tie. Sitting atop her head was a small fuzzy cap.
The front of her clothes were now stained red from the slushie. The Chunin wanted to apologize, but no words would escape his mouth, his tongue feeling as though it were glued in place as this stranger stared him down. She used her index finger to bring some of the crimson droplets to her mouth and slurped it off before muttering "Mmm. Cherry. You Iruka Umino?"
At her question all the Chunin could do was jerk his head up and down in confirmation that was indeed his name. The girl smirked in a satisfied manner as other figures began to emerge from the shadows, surrounding the Chunin. "Seems I have you at a disadvantage. I am called Alucard. The no-life King. Or Queen, given this form. But I won't split hairs. Normally my talents involve brutal slaughter and bloodbaths. Though in this case? I'm not feeling very merciful."
Alucard grinned cruelly and ficked her wrist, causing a steel baton to fully extend and then smashed it against his temple. The sounds of bone crunching could be heard as Iruka fell to the ground, blood quickly running down the side of his face. The figures began to kick and stomp on him mercilessly while Alucard used her baton to break the bones in his arms and legs.
For several minutes this went on, even as the Chunin screamed for help, no one came. At long last the beating ended, and his attackers backed away, some of them spitting on his broken form while blood pooled beneath him. He tried to speak, but no sounds came out, it even hurt to breath.
Alucard sighed as she tapped the bloodied baton in her hands and spoke "I'm not savvy with pop culture references. But I do remember a particular quote that seems appropriate. It's from a crime movie with an unusually excessive amount of swearing. 'From a friend you fucked.'" With that said, the crimson eyed girl and her cohorts vanished as mysteriously as they had appeared. Leaving behind a beaten Chunin who couldn't even cry due to the amount of pain he was in.
Back with Naruto.
As he had previously suspected, he had been dragged back to the Mansion by the twins. Not that he was going to complain since they had saved his bacon earlier "So… how did you guys live underground without any access to food or water?" He asked them since he had wondered about that earlier but never bothered asking until now.
"Ah. That's a fair question. There's an oasis of sorts further in the back of the treasury. It gave us fresh food and water to support our dietary needs. And for our more vampiric associates, such as ourselves there were plenty of donors were around to help. And don't ask how the oasis functions underground. I don't really get the mechanics." Diva had answered him, earning a nod of confirmation from her twin since she herself didn't know either.
"Oh. Cool. I'll have to check that out later." He spoke since that would be rather cool to see. He would also need to take some time to make the rounds and familiarize himself with all the manor's residents. "Just for clarity… is there some kind of summoning contract I need to sign? You guys are Summons right?" He asked since that was yet another thing he had forgotten to ask about.
"Technically, yes. And don't worry. Yamata-sama will clear up all the details later. I'm pretty sure she has some big summoning scroll she keeps under lock and key." Saya answered him. Before they could continue their conversation, they found the form of Medusa standing at the manor's front doors. She quickly approached them and pulled the twin's heads together and began whispering something to them low enough so that their master couldn't hear. Even though he was still in the grip of the twins, he couldn't hear anything.
"Uhh, you want to clue me in on what's going on? Did something happen? Somebody answer me." He spoke, at his unintended command, the girls grit their teeth as they felt the binding seals take hold. They tried to resist the burning sensation beneath their skin, but the longer they held back, the more intense the pain became.
Finally, Medusa relented and spoke "I personally investigated your Academy records and found them to be rigged. Iruka Umino's parents died during the Kyuubi attack and he holds a grudge against you for it. When I broke the news to Yamata-sama she was so infuriated that she sent a group of us to beat him within a bare inch of his life."
"Say what?!" Naruto yelped in shock. Completely surprised by this turn of events. He felt a mixture of anger and confusion now learning of his records. He bit his lip, unsure of how to take the news as he silently fumed.
"Take him to his room." Medusa ordered, sensing that the boy needed to be alone for now, only to receive looks of confusion from the twins.
"Erm… what room? I don't think he actually claimed a room." Saya pointed out, making the blonde witch sigh in exasperation.
"ANY room will do for now." The witch growled out and gestured for them to quickly do as she says since Naruto looked almost ready to explode since his face looked cherry red. Getting the hint, Saya and Diva quickly made their way to the nearest bedroom to deposit the whiskered teen so he could vent out his emotions.
After they placed him on a bed and made a quick exit, Naruto slammed his face into the sheets and let out a screech of anger. "Goddamn it! Three years! Three fucking years at the Academy! Wasted! Fucking Iruka! Asshole!" He yelled out. After getting that out of his system, he sighed deeply and began to pace around the room.
He would need to tell Sandaime about what happened. He would say that he discovered a summoning contract of his own and found out that Iruka had been sabotaging him… though he wasn't sure if he should mention said summons were also behind Iruka's beating if it were brought up.
In any case, he couldn't believe how fast everything was happening now. Less than twenty-four hours had passed, he had found all manner of monster girls living beneath a supposedly haunted mansion with seemingly endless wealth, he was actually part of a clan from a village that supposedly doesn't exist, and now he had wasted three years of his life because of an asshole teacher that was carrying a vendetta for something that wasn't his fault.
His musing was interrupted when he heard a knock at his door. "Come in." He called out, wondering who it could be. The door opened revealing a dark skinned woman with horns on her head with white hair on the front and blue in the back. When she entered inside, his eyes widened at her tall frame… and was even more surprised to see her impossibly large breasts that could easily function as pillows. Based on her horns, ears and legs, he guessed she was some kind of cow related monster. Most likely a Minotaur.
"Ohayo Master! I'm Chizu. Medusa says you're feeling bad right now. So I thought I'd come and try to make you feel better." She spoke sweetly, her voice and tone quickly melting any residual anger away.
"That's really nice of you." He replied, rubbing the back of his head while trying his best not to stare at her breasts… though that seemed impossible as she stepped even closer to him, her tits jiggling with each step.
"Thank you! Please drink all you want, master!" She spoke and pushed her chest out towards him and unzipped her coveralls, letting her breasts spill out freely. The sight of the large mounds making blood quickly rush to his nether regions, each breast at least two or three times the size of his own head.
The minotaur grabbed him and then sat on the bed, gently placing his head into her lap and then pushed her breasts into his face. "Drink up. Fresh Mino milk straight from the source. Just for you." She cooed out as a rich and creamy liquid filled the blonde's mouth. The sweet and delicious taste made him moan a bit as he relaxed and started to suckle, feeling much like an infant feeding from a mother's breast.
A feeling he never got to experience in his life. He decided it would be best to forget about his troubles, even if only for a few minutes… or a few hours. The taste of Mino milk quickly became addictive as he continued to drink his fill. Everything else could wait for now.
