Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Yu Yu Hakusho, they are owned by other people that I hate. I hate them because they made these two money makers before I did. And my hate burns brighter then any fagot Uchiha ever could. My hate will spread to all corners of the world! Soon everyone will feel my hate! And then all shall be cast in the darkness of my hate! Because hate is what makes the world go round!
HATE!
So how did all of you like my impression of the most recent personality of Sasuke Uchiha? Pretty good, right?
Chapter 18: The Inner Workings of the Human and Inhuman Mind
When Naruto got home he was somewhat surprised to see Kyuubi already there. He moved over to where she was sitting on the couch, two steaming cups of tea on the coffee table in front of her. "Kyuubi-hime," he greeted as he sat down next to her. The moment he had done so Kyuubi cuddled herself into his side and kissed him soundly on the lips in greeting. Naruto wrapped an arm around her in response and kissed back. As her tongue lightly caressed his own he absently noted that she had a minty taste to her, which he assumed was from the tea she was drinking. After they parted he looked at her for a moment, then around the room before asking, "I'm guessing you left Kin and Tayuya at the hot springs."
"Yes," Kyuubi admitted freely, as Naruto knew she would. While the woman could be more duplicitous then anyone he had ever met, when not plotting and planning she was as blunt and honest as a hammer. "Here, I made some tea for you Naruto-Same," she said, grabbing the tea she had made for him and holding it out.
Naruto smiled as he took the cup from her and took a sip of it. When he brought it away from his lips he said, "this is the tea you had stocked in our mansion in Makai, isn't it?"
"Yes," Kyuubi answered, smiling when he said our. "Habana tea made from a special plant found only in my garden." Naruto nodded, as a fox demon Kyuubi was rather in tune with nature. While many in the Elemental countries knew her for her fox fire and hurricane creating tail-swipes, which were a result of directly manipulating her youki as was her specialty as a Demon Lord, Kyuubi's true talent had always lay in her illusions and plant based attacks.
Once they had finished their tea, Naruto created a kage bunshin to take the cups away while he and Kyuubi snuggled. Their time was interrupted however, when a knock came at the door. Kyuubi gave a complaining whine when Naruto stood up and went over to the door. Opening it he wasn't all that surprised to see his father standing there, as the man would visit him often.
"What's up, tou-san?" asked Naruto after noting the serious look on his father's face.
"Naruto, can I come in?"
"Sure, make yourself at home," Naruto opened the door further and let Minato inside. Closing the door Naruto created another kage bunshin to make some more tea and went back over to sit down with Kyuubi. Rather then let her snuggle with him, Naruto grabbed her calves and placed her feet on his lap. Just as Kyuubi opened her mouth to ask him what he was doing the blond began to message her feet.
"O-Oooh," Kyuubi purred as she fell back against the couch, her toes curling and flexing due to the pleasurable sensations Naruto's message was giving to her. Chuckling, the blond Uzumaki added some chakra to his fingertips, spinning it in various directions to increase the bliss Kyuubi was feeling from his touch.
Minato frowned slightly at the display, but didn't comment on it as he said, "I just got finished with a meeting of the Council. I'm sure this won't be surprising to you, but you were the main topic of conversation."
"Your right, I'm not surprised," Naruto said with a snort. "Even when I was younger they would find some way to bother me. I remember the first time I ever did a prank; I had placed several water balloons filled with paint in the rafters of a shop where I was kicked out of. I had attached them to a trip wire so that when someone tripped the wire they would fall and hit the one that tripped them in the face. As it had been my first prank I was dumb enough to stick around and ended up getting caught." He shook his head. "I remember one of the council members actually wanted me executed, claiming the Kyuubi was beginning to act through me." Of course the man hadn't actually mentioned Kyuubi, as doing so would have gotten him killed, but the way he had said it to describe the Demon Lord had told Naruto all he needed to know.
Minato frowned at the story. Shaking his head and dispelled whatever thoughts he had on the subject before he continued. "Well they didn't want you killed or anything this time." Not that they would now that Naruto was not only a national hero but the son of the Yondaime. Even the council wasn't dumb enough to call for his execution now. "They were trying to convince me to let you rebuild the Uzumaki Clan in Konoha."
"Let me guess," Naruto said dryly. "They want my Rinnegan?"
Minato nodded. "Yes, they tried to make me place you under the C.R.A.."
Naruto blinked. "CRA? What's that?"
"It's a Clan Law that was passed for when a Clan lost all of it's members but one," Minato explained. "Basically, you have to take multiple wives and get them pregnant before your eighteenth birthday. If we were to rebuild the Uzumaki Clan in Konoha you would be subject to this law."
"Yeah, no thanks," Naruto said with a snort. "I'm not gonna fuck a bunch of women just because those foggies on the council want me to. If I were to consider taking on multiple mates it will be on my terms." He smiled when Kyuubi gave an appreciative groan as he switched feet.
"I figured as much. I believe putting you under the C.R.A. was just the councils way of trying to leave you powerless by placing you under several arranged marriages and using loopholes in the law to take the power of your clan for themselves..." Minato trailed off as he looked at Kyuubi and a thought seemed to occur to him. "Speaking of power, Kyuubi, I have a question." When the red head opened a single eye to look at the older blond Namikze he continued saying, "I've noticed that you still seem to have all of your chakra, when I had split it in half and permanently sealed it away. Why is that?"
Kyuubi gave a derisive snort. "You don't honestly think you could permanently seal away my power do you?" she asked derisively. Minato blinked in confusion and with a 'too sweet to truly be innocent' smile, Kyuubi said, "like all creatures, be they human or demon, my power is made up of an equal portion of physical and spiritual energy. You can't just permanently seal it away. All you did was temporarily take away half of my youki. It just took a few extra years to regain my power then it normally would have."
"So your saying my using the Shiki Fūin was not only unnecessary but didn't actually do anything in the long run?" asked Minato. The look on his face was priceless, the man looked like he just swallowed a large bug that had been rolling around on horse shit for several hours.
"Yep."
As Minato felt an embarrassed blush spread out over his face, Naruto began laughing rather raucously at hearing his father's unnecessary sacrifice. It might seem a little cruel to poke fun at him, as the man knew next to nothing of demons, but Naruto just couldn't help but find the situation humorous. Minato had quite literally sacrificed his soul to the Shinigami, or Koenma as the man in charge of the dead was now known, for no reason.
A few seconds later Tayuya and Kin walked in to hear Naruto still laughing, both wondering what the hell was so funny.
Birth of the New Demon King
"OOH KAMI! NARUTO-SAAAMMMA!" Kyuubi gave one last shout before slumping down on the bed, feeling more spent then she could if she ran up a vertical wall at full speed for three months without stopping. Thankfully it was the good kind of tired, where her body was exhausted from making love to her mate.
Said mate pulled himself out of her and leaned onto his side, using one of his elbows to prop himself up as he let a hand trace patterns on Kyuubi's stomach, leaving goosebumps whenever his fingers left her skin. He just looked at her for several seconds, and she couldn't help but wonder about what he was thinking of.
"Deep thoughts, Naruto-Sama?" she asked after several long moments.
"I was thinking about what the council was trying to do," Naruto said. "Force me into multiple arranged marriages in order to access several loopholes to take my power away."
"It was a rather ingenious plan," Kyuubi agreed. "Cunning and conniving. It wouldn't have worked since even if you agreed to their terms and they actually tried using those loopholes you could just kill them."
"I would probably do that, yes," Naruto agreed with a nod. He had no compunctions about killing people who over stepped their bounds with him. While there were certain things he may be lenient towards, people trying to take away his power, which he had earned through blood and sweat was not one of them.
"Still this C.R.A. Minato spoke of has some merit."
"Huh?" Naruto blinked as he looked at her in confusion.
Kyuubi just smiled as she said, "while the C.R.A. is not used by demons, even tribes and clans like I come from, it is not unusual for a powerful demon to take on multiple lovers. By having multiple woman bearing powerful demon children, they will have a ready made army that only needs time to grow and be trained. Other demons see the number of lovers someone has as a sign of status. Even Raizen-Sama was like that, he may have only loved one woman but he had multiple lovers before his death."
"Were you one of them?" asked Naruto.
"No," Kyuubi said with a shake of her head. "I am an upper S class demon and I was treated as an equal by him, so he didn't mate with me. If a demon were to have a harem it would have created a Hierarchy among the females he is mated to, demon society calls these sister wives. Raizen already had several powerful upper S class demons as his lovers, adding another, and the one he named his second in command at that, would have disrupted the hierarchy." She paused, and in a quiet voice said, "though before I became the Kyuubi I had been the fifteenth wife of one of the Kitsune clans more powerful males."
"Did he mate with you?" asked Naruto. Despite what she was telling him having happened in the past he was feeling angered and possessive of her at the thought of someone else claiming her as a mate. It was likely caused by his demon blood, but the thought of anyone touching Kyuubi in an intimate manner other then him caused violent thoughts to surge in his mind.
"No," Kyuubi said, shaking her head. "I wasn't that powerful back then, only being a three-tails. He didn't believe I was worthy of mating with him."
Naruto frowned at the bitter tone in her voice when she said the word mate, but decided to help her by making her feel better. He pulled Kyuubi closer and rolled her over onto her side so that she was facing him. She looked at him curiously but he just leaned in and claimed her lips with his own. Her hands instinctively went around him, pulling their nude bodies flush against each other. Their legs became entwined with each other and Kyuubi felt Naruto's cock rub against her nether lips, causing her to moan in pleasure.
When they pulled back Naruto looked at her softly and said, "then that man was a fool to not see the amazing woman you are." He caressed her cheek with the back of his fingers, getting Kyuubi to close her eyes and a light purring sound to arise from the back of her throat. "And his loss is my gain. I promise I will never treat you as anything less then my equal."
"Thank you," Kyuubi mumbled through teary eyes. She grabbed the hand caressing her face and pressed her lips against it. Naruto moved his hand to the back of her head, leaned in and pressed his mouth against hers. While the kiss became impassioned it stayed tender, the movements of their tongues more along the lines of a dance then their usual battle of dominance.
With some help from Kyuubi's guiding hand, Naruto slid back into her and began to gently rock his hips. They made love slowly this time, neither feeling the desire for the fast paced and sometimes near violent sex they usually had. While it might not have been as heavy as their usual love making, it was no less meaningful. The pairs mutual finish came half an hour later, with both of them moaning into each others mouths.
Naruto rolled onto his back, sliding out of Kyuubi's warmth with a wet pop. Kyuubi pressed herself into his side as an arm went around her. As they lay there, basking in the afterglow of their love making, Naruto asked, "what did you mean when you said the C.R.A. had merit?"
Kyuubi didn't bother opening her eyes as she snuggled into her mate's warm embrace and said, "I wasn't talking about the C.R.A. but the act of taking multiple lovers. As I said, Demon Society is more prone to such a thing and there are various advantages to having more then one woman bear you kits. Not only is it a symbol of status and power, but it will also give you many children to help make your army even more powerful after some point in time."
"It would also give me a lot of children to spoil," Naruto admitted somewhat reluctantly. "I've always wanted a large family." Kyuubi nodded at his words, knowing that his reasons for wanting a large family were because he had never had a family before. When people were lacking something that others had and took for granted it was a natural reaction to want that which they didn't have that much more.
"Which is just another reason to take on multiple lovers," Kyuubi began to explain. "The Kitsune Clan has always been small, this is due to the fact that birth rates among Kitsune are low. A female Kitsune will only be able to birth one, or if she's lucky maybe two kits before she becomes sterile. And even then, there's only a one in ten chance of that kitsune being male. It's natures way of keeping our clan from overpopulating Makai."
A hand began to run through her hair and Kyuubi sighed in content as she heard Naruto speak. "But is it right for me to take multiple women like that? I don't want to mate with several women just so they can bear my children."
"If those were the only reasons you wanted to take multiple lovers I would be disappointed in you, Naruto-Sama," Kyuubi said with a smile. "That you don't want to claim more mates just so they can bear you children or be your sex slaves is the reason I'm suggesting this. Otherwise I wouldn't have said anything." She grinned when she heard Naruto's mumble of 'cunning little vixen' and said, "why thank you."
"What if the women I take as my mates are human?" asked Naruto. "I doubt demon society would look upon that with respect."
"Most demons who actually manage to catch a human female will usually make her a slave," Kyuubi said in admittance to his question. "To mate with a human is not looked upon highly. However, we can work around that." Naruto asked for a further explanation so Kyuubi began to explain, saying, "because of me. Unlike most demons most of my youki was actually created from chakra. It simply changed into youki because I was a demon, I assume that if a human had been hit with that chakra it would have remained chakra. However, because of how my youki was made, it is not toxic to humans. It may feel oppressive, but it wouldn't kill them."
"Now because of this, I would be able to channel my youki into any woman you claim as a mate. It won't turn them into a demon or anything, but it will give them a form of immunity to your youki, and you can mark them. With your mark they will have a power boost due to the fact that they can use chakra, and any children they have will be 2/3rds demon like you."
Naruto nodded, that had been something he hadn't actually thought about. His youki was highly corrosive and poisonous to humans, even most demons would be unable to stand near him if he began putting out his full power. Only those of a higher S-class would be able to truly withstand the power of his youki, and that was simply because they could match his power with their own to form an immunity.
"What about aging?" asked Naruto as another point he thought about came up. "I don't want to marry someone just to watch them age and die in front of me a few decades later."
"Unfortunately I don't have an answer for that," Kyuubi admitted. "The simply fact is no one has ever been in the position your in. Right now, everything I'm saying is simply theory due to the fact that it's never been done before. It's possible that having your youki flowing through them will keep them young, but then again it's not. This will unfortunately be a matter of trial and error."
"I see," Naruto said with a sigh. He smiled a second later when he began squeezing Kyuubi's ass, getting a moan out of the red-haired beauty. "I don't really want to talk about this anymore."
"Well then, why don't we find something more pleasurable to talk about," Kyuubi said with a smile. She climbed onto Naruto and let him slide back into her.
"Hmm, I don't really feel like talking at all to be honest," Naruto replied as Kyuubi began bouncing up and down on his shaft. Pushing himself up he took one of her nipples in his mouth and flicked it with his tongue. He grinned when she gasped and looked up at her to say, "but I do know of some pleasurable activities we can do." With that he took her nipple fully in his mouth. For the rest of the night he delighted and pleased his mate until the both fell asleep from exhaustion.
Birth of the New Demon King
Samui looked around as she waited for Naruto to meet her for the tour he promised her. She had been gathering what information she could on him as discreetly as possible. Thankfully it wasn't hard, with Naruto's new fame as the son of the Yondaime Hokage and his defeat of Orochimaru it was difficult not to here his name in a conversation. However, there was a problem stemming from the fact that no one knew anything about him other then basics. They didn't know what he was skilled in, how strong he was, or anything substantial. Most of what she heard just seemed to be hero worship with the occasional jealous idiot. And she didn't want to ask about him and seem suspicious, which left her only option being to get to know Naruto better.
A few minutes after she got to the stand Naruto appeared as well. "Hey," he greeted, and seemed to notice her new clothes as his eyes looked her form over for a moment. She had chosen to wear a light yellow sun dress for the occasion and a pair of basic sandals. She was surprised when she saw that his look while appreciative, he did not seem to be stripping her with his eyes. "You look nice outside of work clothes," he complimented.
"Thank you," Samui said with a nod, not blushing or even giving any indication that what he said had flustered or was in any way significant to her, unlike the last time they had spoken. He had told her to be herself, meaning he obviously knew her shy and bubbly act at the ramen stand was just that, an act. It would be best she had determined, if she acted like she always did to get close to him, as he might become suspicious of her if she continued to act like she had.
She took a moment herself to look over her fellow blond. While she would not say anything out loud, as doing so would not be cool, she had to admit he cut an attractive figure. He too was wearing civvies, or civilian clothing, a pair of faded black jeans and a dark orange shirt with a black spiral on the back and a smaller one on the chest. Though if she were honest, Samui would admit the thing she liked the most were his eyes. He had his Rinnegan out, which he had out last time they met and it made her wonder if they could even be turned off. They were pretty cool, she had to admit.
"Have you had breakfast yet?" he asked, getting her to shake her head. Naruto grinned and placed her arm within his own, "then that's what we'll do first. What type of food do you like?"
"I'm cool with anything," Samui admitted with a shrug. She didn't really have a favorite food. Truth be told she didn't have a favorite anything, aside from her duties as a kunoichi she had almost no social life. Her meals usually consisted of simple food like Bento boxes.
"Then why don't we just go to a place that offers a wide variety of food," Naruto suggested as he began to lead her around the village. It was a pretty interesting experience for Samui as her fellow blond showed her around. Not walking around the village itself, Konoha really wasn't all that different from Kumo sans the minor differences in architecture and the fact that Kumo didn't have any trees. However, nearly every place Naruto showed her had some kind of story behind it. Usually these stories coincided with on of the many pranks Naruto would pull on the village, whether it was a grocery store, a restaurant, or even a shinobi supply shop. Samui knew from some of her investigating of him that Naruto had been a prankster during his younger years.
Samui ended up getting taken to an Akamichi owned restaurant in the market district. She figured the reason was because they were having a breakfast buffet there, with a cornucopia of different foods, some of which Samui was sure did not come from anywhere in the elemental nations as she had never seen it before. Though she would be the first to admit she had never bothered to try a wide variety of food.
Leaving Naruto to pay for the meal as he had offered to, Samui took her plate, which was filled with some kind bread looking food. It looked like some kind of dough-based breakfast. The 'bread' for lack of a better word was round and thick, about the size of her plate and looked like a giant honey comb due to the many square imprints in the food. She would have thought it was a pancake, but considering she had never seen a pancake look like this before was forced to concede that she had no clue what it was.
A few seconds later Naruto sat down. She eyed the large stack of food on his plate, ranging from the 'bread' she had gotten, to french toast, pancakes, hash browns, eggs, and who knew what else. "A bit much, don't you think?" she asked with a raised eyebrow in her cool demeanor.
Naruto shook his head. "For most people, maybe. But I have a large metabolism. I require at least six times more food then anyone else, barring maybe an Akimichi, and I can still out eat them in some foods."
Samui just looked at him for a second longer as he began to eat. And by eat, she meant he literally inhaled the food so fast his hands were a complete blur even to her. One second his plate was piled high, the next he was finished and was picking his teeth with a toothpick he had gotten from somewhere. She was actually somewhat surprised that he could eat as fast as he had, yet still remain perfectly polite and well-mannered. There was not a mess to be seen, on his face or the table and hadn't stuffed his face to the brim until she was able to see the food in his mouth. He had just eaten it super fast. It was a paradox she vowed to figure out before her mission ended.
She ate much more slowly. Using the utensils they provided. While most places only had chop sticks, a few of the newer restaurants and obviously any Akamichi owned eatery also had the option of forks, knives and spoons. A fact she was rather grateful for as eating this particular type of food with a chopstick would have been difficult.
Cutting a piece of the dough-made substance and sticking it with her for, Samui brought it to her mouth. She closed her mouth around the fork and began to chew the food, a thoughtful look crossing her face as she did so. "These taste a lot like pancakes," Samui mumbled, more to herself then to her current companion.
"There called waffles," Naruto said, having already finished his food in what Samui calculated to be less then 2.5 seconds, he was now contently sipping tea. She quirked an eyebrow at him, asking for silent clarification. He seemed to notice because a second later he looked at her and shrugged, saying, "really they are pancakes. Same batter and make, just cooked differently. They're cooked in an iron waffle, which gives them those indentations you see."
"Ah," Samui said, continuing to eat. "You know seem to know a lot about cooking."
"Well I did live on my own for thirteen years," Naruto said with the kind of nonchalance that someone would use for talking about the wheather.
"That's not cool..." She trailed off when Naruto raised an eyebrow at her. Realizing he may be thinking she had said he wasn't cool for living on his own, or something along those lines she corrected herself. "That you lived on your own I mean, it's not cool that you had to live on your own."
Naruto chuckled to let her know he wasn't offended. "I got used to it, and I'm glad I didn't have to rely on others, it made me self sufficient." That was a bit of an understatement. Living on your own for thirteen years forced you to think smart, learning to manage your money, how to repair the leaks and problems that arose in your apartment. It wasn't the kind of smarts Sakura had, with her encyclopaedic brain, or Shikamaru's over two-hundred IQ. Naruto had street smarts, the ability to adapt and think on his feet, which had helped him survive.
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, I suppose," Samui said with Naruto nodding in acknowledgment of her comment.
Breakfast ended soon after that and Naruto ended up taking her around the rest of Konoha. He showed her various shops and restaurants, took her to the Clan District where Konoha's Shinobi Clan's lived. While their he told Samui about a particularly funny story of when he had snuck into the Hyuuga compound and dyed everyone's clothing bright pink and strung their undergarments about the market district. The way Naruto told it, using grand gestures and comments that lightly insulted the Hyuga clan actually got Samui to giggle.
However, she had quickly realized what she had done and closed her mouth, an actual embarrassed blush forming on her face. Back in Kumo Samui was always known for being cold to the point that most people thought she was made of ice. Even her normal two teammates told her she was frigid. Which was why her actually making a sound as girly and happy as a giggle – without it being an act to get closer to Naruto – surprised and embarrassed her. She simply didn't giggle. Period.
Naruto seemed to notice her plight and took some pity on her by not teasing her as he normally would have when someone was embarrassed. He did bring her out of her slight daze however, by linking an arm through on of hers. She looked at him questioningly but he just smiled and began leading her away from the Clan District. "I figured we'd go to one of Konoha's parks," he said after a few moments. "Thanks to the Shodai's ability in Mokuton (Wood Release), we've always had the most beautiful parks."
"So these trees were created by the villages first leader?" asked Samui as they entered one of the parks. She had to admit it was a very beautiful place. They were walking along a stone pathway surrounded by trees. Many of the trees were of the kind she had seen all around Konoha, but there were a few that were of a different species. She saw several sakura trees, pine trees, oaks, and many others that she did not recognize on sight.
They eventually got tired of just walking aimlessly and sat themselves down on one of the benches that sitting on the side of the pavement. As they did Samui winced a little as she felt a creek in her upper back. She brought up a hand in an attempt to alleviate some of the stress in her back, an action which did not go unnoticed by Naruto.
"You feeling alright?" he asked.
Samui nodded, "my back is just a little sore." She had always had back troubles, ever since she was thirteen. One of her teammate's had often joked it was because she had such large breasts, and though Samui was sure he said it as a way to anger their female teammate, his reasoning was actually right. Having a bust to rival Tsunade's at the age of thirteen, where her body was much slimmer then even the legendary healers was, came with those kinds of problems.
Naruto nodded before saying, "turn around, please." Samui looked at him oddly for a second but did as asked. When her back was to him she was about to ask what he was going to do when she felt a pair of hands begin to kneed her back.
"O-oh..." Samui groaned as Naruto messaged her neck and shoulders. He seemed to know what he was doing, and as Samui began to lean into his touch she couldn't believe how good it felt, or that she was even allowing him to touch her mission not withstanding. Still, she couldn't deny how good it felt.
'If the men who offered to give me a message in Kumo weren't such perverts I would probably have accepted there offers if this is what it feels like,' she thought to herself. That had actually been one of the largest reasons she was so cold to others. The amount of men that wanted to get in her pants was astronomically large, even many of her fellow jonin couldn't hold a conversation with her without staring at her chest. Even the Raikage had that problem, and considering he had never really seemed interested in woman that was saying something.
There was something different about Naruto though. Even during their first meeting he hadn't looked at her breasts once. Or at least, not any longer then he had every other part of her. When the Rinnegan user had first seen her working at the Ichiraku Ramen bar the way he looked at her was simply that of someone sizing another person up and formulating a base opinion of them on their observations, something that all ninja did instinctively. There had been nothing sexual in his gaze, she hadn't even been able to figure out if he thought she was attractive.
It was that which had surprised her the most. That he didn't seem to look at her as another piece of meat. The reason might have been Kit, the mysterious girlfriend of Naruto's. No one knew much about her, she was apparently as new to Konoha as Samui was. The woman had just come onto the seen without any past and snagged the man who was now considered one of Konoha's most eligible bachelors in an instant. She was also a hindrance to Samui's mission, and may need to be taken care of at some point. But Samui would have to find out more about her before she did anything.
Sighing, her thoughts left her when Naruto's talented hands kneaded a particularly pleasurable part on her shoulder. She let out a louder groan as some of the knots in that area disappeared. "Y-You're very skilled with your hands," Samui commented to Naruto, a slight hitch in her breath as he hit another one of those points that were filled with knots, where he let his chakra get rid of them.
"Thank you," Naruto said in a distracted tone. He sounded like he was actually concentrating rather hard on what he was doing. "You have a lot of knots in your back, Samui-san. To be honest, I'm kind of surprised you can function with so many of them." Samui couldn't say anything on his comment, her voice having left due to the ministrations of her fellow blond's talented hands.
The message was interrupted however, as a small pulse of chakra caught their attention. Turning in time to see an ANBU member appear before them within a swirl of leaves, Naruto took his hands off of Samui's back, much to her disappointment. "I take it tou-san wants something?" said Naruto.
"Hai, Hokage-Sama has requested your presence Uzumaki-san."
Naruto nodded and turned to look at Samui. "I'm sorry to cut this short, but it looks like my old man is calling me," he said.
Samui nodded and felt oddly disappointed that their time had ended so soon. Or maybe she was just upset that her back message had been cut short. Whatever the case there wasn't much she could do. "It's cool," she said, "being a shinobi and all you don't have scheduled shifts like I do."
"True," Naruto said, standing. "He probably wants me for a mission, so I'll see you went I get back. Maybe we can hang out and I'll introduce you to my friends?"
"I would like that," Samui said with a nod. She watched as Naruto and the ANBU disappeared in a swirl of leaves, before standing up and beginning to make her way back home. She had to get ready for a shift at Ichiraku's in a few hours.
Birth of the New Demon King
Naruto appeared within the Hokage's office to see Jiraiya, Hiashi and Sarutobi already there. He looked at Minato as he walked further into the room. "I take it something has come up?" he said, deciding to get straight to the point. His father wouldn't have called all three members on the advisory council unless there was something important that he felt needed more insights then just his own.
"Yes," Minato said, and Naruto noticed he was in his Hokage mode. His face was serious, a blank mask that let out nothing. "I'm sure you know of the trouble we are having with trying to discreetly settle the dispute Iwa created when they tried to assassinate you?" After receiving a nod from Naruto he continued. "We have been sending correspondences to them for a while now but have yet to receive anything more then false platitudes. Actions needs to be taken, but we don't want to go to war."
Naruto understood that war was the last thing Minato wanted. The last time the shinobi of their villages waged war many died on both sides, it had been a disastrous affair of death and bloodshed that had embroiled four of the big five, with Kiri only having avoided it due to them being so isolated and already embroiled in their own civil war. If another war broke out between Iwa and Konoha, Suna would soon join, and if Kumo didn't join in soon after then they would likely stay out of until the war was over and then pick up the left overs from who ever won, as that country would be too weak to do anything. While Naruto was sure they could both win any war that came there way, especially with him and Minato at the front, along with beating Kumo after wards, he knew it would cost more lives then a failed assassination attempt was worth.
"You wouldn't have told me all of this unless you had a plan," Naruto commented. If there was one thing he had learned about his father during the short time they had known each other, it was that Minato never did anything without having a plan.
"That is correct," Minato smiled at his son, though it was a grim smile. "I sent a final letter to Ōnoki a few days ago, stating that he will meet with me in Tetsu No Kuni (Iron Country) where we will discuss the matter of reparations. If he does not come, then it will be taken as a declaration of war." Naruto's eyes widened a bit as he realized how serious this was beginning to get. He knew that war was a likely possibility, and if Konoha learned of the assassination attempt they would be rioting in the streets and clambering to go to war. He also knew the few shinobi who knew about the event didn't want to experience another war.
"Did he accept?" asked Naruto.
"Yes, I will meet Ōnoki in Tetsu No Kuni in three weeks," Minato said. "I have already sent a letter to the Samurai of that country and they have agreed to let us use their land as a meeting ground. We will be guarded by their Samurai." Tetsu No Kuni was a politically unusual country in that it had remained neutral and never been involved in the ninja wars. In fact, the shinobi created a rule since long ago that they would not meddle with the land. Because of that it had been able to remain neutral throughout the trying times other countries have had.
This was mainly because of the countries Samurai force, which was very powerful. Tetsu No Kuni's samurai were trained in using chakra, though their use of it was different then a ninja's. By channeling chakra through their blade they could create truly monstrous attacks, ranging from simply sharpening their blade to unleashing a giant wave of chakra that would destroy everything in it's path. Many of their elite samurai were said to be on par with a jonin of one of the five major hidden villages.
"I take it I am to go with you?" said Naruto, having guessed the reason he had been called.
Minato nodded. "It was agreed upon that we would each be allowed two bodyguards. I have chosen you and Jiraiya-sensei to be mine. This is as much a show of strength as anything else. Sarutobi-san has agreed to look after things while I'm gone." Naruto nodded at the man's words in understanding. Both he and Jiraiya were considered S-rank ninja, and though only Minato knew it Naruto was considered an upper A-class demon, which meant he had power levels that could beat out ten S-ranks in raw power. By having three people of their level, it sent a message to Iwa about just how damaging a war with Konoha would be.
"When do we leave?" asked Naruto.
"Tomorrow."
Naruto nodded, "in that case I think I'm going to take Kit out to dinner. Somewhere nice. I'll see you tomorrow tou-san, Ojisan, Hiashi-san, Ero-sennin."
"How come I'm the only one who get's a disrespectful nickname?" asked a disgruntled Jiraiya.
Naruto raised an eyebrow. "I call Sarutobi old man. Is that not disrespectful enough? Besides, out of everyone here, your the only one who deserves such a title. Especially when I caught you trying to peek on mine and Kit's private time."
Jiraiya had the decency to look sheepish. It had been two weeks after Naruto had come back after returning Tsunade to the village. He had taken Kyuubi out to dinner and Jiraiya had at some point spotted them. Apparently not getting the inspiration he hoped for by peeking in the hot springs, he had followed Naruto and Kyuubi to their house where they had started getting into the hot and heavy. However, his giggle had alerted the two as they were in the process of stripping each others clothes off. That night the pair had given Jiraiya a beating that put the one Tsunade had when she nearly killed him to shame.
The man had been sent to the hospital with four broken ribs, a punctured left lung, both legs broken, his right arm broken and bent at an awkward angle, the fingers of each hand broken, a shattered nose, a skull fracture and major concussion, and finally, Kyuubi had ripped off the man's left nut. All in all they were some rather serious and life-threatening injuries he had suffered. Naruto was actually surprised the man managed to somehow bounce back fully healed within three weeks. He had wondered if Jiraiya had some kind of demonic healing of his own, but soon realized the pervert was just so used to being beaten that the wounds no longer affected him very much.
"How long are you going to hold that against me?" complained Jiraiya.
"As long as you remain a pervert I suppose," Naruto said with a grin as he disappeared via Shundo.
Birth of the New Demon King
That evening Naruto did take Kyuubi out to dinner, at a restaurant called the Golden Leaf Pagoda, the most expensive restaurant within Konoha. While Naruto had never boasted about money, being as frugal as he was with it due to his life before the invasion. However, the blond had become rather rich since his first A-rank mission in which he and the other members of the now defunct team seven had fought against Haku and Momoichi Zabuza in Nami No Kuni (Wave Country). The amount of revenue he had only increased after gaining the bounty for Orochimaru, which was the second highest bounty for a missing ninja from Konoha (only being beaten by Uchiha Itachi). Combine that with the A-rank mission to bring back Tsunade, and another A-rank he went on to protect a high paying noble during a business transaction a few weeks ago and it was easy for him to say he was rather well off.
Dinner conversation was rather light. He and Kyuubi did not talk about anything serious, mainly preferring to tease each other with inane comments slightly laden in sexual innuendo and see who would slip first. Though they did eventually get to a topic on something they had been working on for a while.
"I saw that you have the Toad Contract in your office," Kyuubi said. The office she was referring to was a large room Naruto had commandeered for his sealing idea's. It was more or less just a decent sized room with several book cases that were half filled with books on sealing, and the other half empty to have space for when Naruto created a new seal. The only other furniture in the room was a large desk with a chair.
"I had a talk with tou-san a while ago and told him what we were hoping to achieve," Naruto said. "It took a bit of convincing before he was willing to relinquish the contract to me." That had been another conversation that led to a bit of an argument. Minato was very weary of Kitsune due to Kyuubi's attack, so it was understandable that when Naruto informed him of the plans he and Kyuubi had made, the man had been at first adamant on not allowing Naruto anywhere near the contract.
It had taken a bit of negotiating to convince his father to get the contract from Jiraiya. Naruto had to point out the benefits having the Kitsune contract in Konoha would grant them, along with the fact that the Kitsune Clan were loyal to Kyuubi, who in turn was loyal to Naruto. Minato had been forced to concede that point, Kyuubi was extremely loyal to Naruto and even he could see that. Two days after their talk he had given Naruto the toad summoning contract.
"Have you had any luck on figuring out how to create a summoning contract?"
"I've actually made a small prototype seal," Naruto admitted. "I've managed to modify the kanji on the seal so that it would summon Kitsune instead, however there is more that we'll need to do before we can make a working summoning contract."
"Oh?" Kyuubi leaned forward in interest at hearing Naruto was almost done. Having realized Naruto was far better at her in sealing, which she could not deny considering she had never really cared much about seals until she herself was locked behind one, they had decided he would work on it by himself. That was fine with Kyuubi though, she had been working on other things, namely keeping in contact with her clan so she could know how things were going with them and in Makai in general.
Naruto nodded as he reached out with a hand and grabbed hers which was on the table. His fingers began to idly play with the fingers of her hand, an action that had Kyuubi smiling as it was a small showing of the blond's affection for her. "In order to summon, each Kitsune that is going to be in the contract needs to sign a separate scroll that is connected to the contract via reverse summoning seal in their blood. This creates a link between the two seals and is what allows the summoning contract to really work."
"So I'll probably need to take another trip to Makai soon," Kyuubi said. She had been planning on doing so anyways at some point. They had set up a portal to Makai in one of the unused rooms in their home. She hadn't returned since the time she had come back and ran into Naruto in Otofugen Gai, having preferred keeping in contact with her brethren via a transmission portal, which acted as a large scale communicator in the shape of a mirror.
"When you do go I would like to go with you," Naruto said, surprising Kyuubi who had to ask why. He answered by saying, "before we actually make this summoning contract it would be best if they know who I am, and see my power for themselves. You said that there were a few people who didn't approve of of your decision to ally your clan with Raizen-ojisan, and I doubt they would approve of me. Chances are they will do their utmost to stir up resentment."
"But if you meet with them and show how powerful you are and how much my clan would benefit from an alliance with you it would go along way towards easing any ill feelings," Kyuubi finished with a smile. She was rather pleased that Naruto had thought of this. "Your learning more about our ways. Pretty soon Makai's politics will become like second nature to you."
Naruto gave her a smile at the compliment as they switched gears to more pleasant topics for the rest of dinner. When it was over they walked home, Kyuubi's arms wrapped around one of his with her head on his shoulder. As they walked she couldn't help but notice many of the jealous glares getting sent her way, even a few of the women who looked like they were with their boyfriend or husband glared at her.
Kyuubi snorted. She knew that this would happen once she had been told of the events that had transpired during the Chunin Exams. With Naruto's heritage known people were just lining up to kiss his ass, especially now that he everyone knew he was the son of two renowned figures in Konoha, one being the beloved Yondaime Hokage and hero of the Third Great Shinobi War. Plus with Naruto having become an extraordinarily handsome man in his own right it had only been a matter of time before women began lusting after him.
Not that any of those simpering women and little girls would ever get their hands on her Naruto. They had spoken a little more on him taking multiple women as mates, and Naruto had told her that he would not mate with any female that Kyuubi herself did not agree with. It had caused a powerful warmth to flood her heart at hearing that, he was truly treating her as an equal in all things. His words had actually resulted in another bout of delicious and slow love making, an act which Kyuubi was beginning to love almost as much as when they would rut like kitsune in heat.
Both she and Naruto had agreed on choosing women who met several prerequisites. The first being that they had to be strong in mind, spirit and body. Neither of them liked weakness, Naruto having gained his dislike of being weak from remembering his previous sealed state before becoming a demon, and Kyuubi due to her past before becoming the Kyuubi. Both agreed that they would only look at women who were at least A-ranked on the ninja scale in power, which there were admittedly not many. However, there were a few, and she knew Naruto was close to at least two of them.
Naruto also refused to mate with anyone he did not love for as much as Kyuubi, though she had already assumed it would be a stipulation. Much like how he wanted a large family, Naruto also wanted to be loved more then anything. It was hard for most to see as Naruto kept up his nonchalant facade most of the time when in public; but even now her mate was damaged by the abuse he had taken in Konoha. It made Kyuubi want to go back on a rampage and finish what that man had started when he forced her to attack the village.
The final stipulation was that Kyuubi had to approve of them. She didn't have to necessarily like them, as she still didn't like humans out of the simple fact that they were human. All she had to do was let Naruto know which women she thought were worthy of being his mate. Though she had to admit she was getting better with her dislike towards humanity, and could acknowledge and even respect some of the kunoichi she had met. Ultimately, the final decision on which women Naruto would mate with would rest with her, a fact that secretly pleased her.
Kyuubi's musings left her when they arrived home. After locking the door via sealing method that would only open for people whose chakra was registered in the master security seal, a sealing system set up by Minato to protect Naruto's secrets, the two of them made their way into the living room where they ran into an interesting sight.
Tsuchi Kin and Tayuya were lying on the hearth rug in the center of the room in the middle of a heavy make out session. Tayuya was on top of Kin, and their kiss was the kind of hot that borderlined on illegal. While the pairs tongue's were visible for Naruto and Kyuubi to see, one of Tayuya's hands had slipped into Kin's pants and were working the dark haired girl over furiously. Kin's hands were in Tayuya's shirt and from the way they were moving it was not hard to guess what they were doing. Both of them were moaning loudly enough that Kyuubi was sure the people in Konoha would have been able to hear it were it not for the silencing seals that were put in place around the house.
"Ahem!" Naruto coughed loudly enough to get the pair's attention. It was rather amusing to see the way Kin and Tayuya froze at the sound of his voice. They turned their heads, looking at the demonic pair with a 'dear in the headlights' expression on their face. "Enjoying yourselves, are we?" asked the blond with a smile.
"Uh... well... uh..." was all Tayuya was able to get out. It was a rather impressive feat Kyuubi decided. The girl was so speechless she couldn't even form a proper sentence, much less swear as she was wont to do. Kin was just laying under her with a large blush on her face, and if the way Kyuubi saw it going down her neck, likely on her entire body as well.
"While I don't mind the pair of you enjoying each other, I would ask that you do this in the privacy of your own room," Naruto said. "Especially since we don't want to give anyone a show. Isn't that right... Ero-Kyofu."
There was only one person Naruto called by that nickname, and both Kin and Tayuya knew it. They immediately began looking around to try and spot the man, but couldn't find him. Luckily for them both Naruto and Kyuubi could tell where he was. The two of them disappeared in a blur of speed before kicking out in front of them and getting a loud 'oof!' sound from the invisible object they hit.
There was a puff of smoke and Jiraiya appeared before them, landing on his ass with a pair of shoe prints on his face. He rubbed said face, trying to get the sting out of it and groaned. "Damn it, gaki! Why did you do that!"
"Because I don't like it when people are peeping in my house," Naruto said. "I don't care if you peep on the general pubic of Konoha, but people who are under my protection are out of bounds." Honestly, Naruto didn't care about if Jiraiya went to the hot springs and peeped on women all day, so long as certain people weren't there when he did it. He wasn't particularly caring about the morality of the man's perverted habits, and knew that it was just an eccentricity gained from years of war and the hard life of a shinobi. Like Gai's 'youthfulness' only less youthful. Powerful ninja often gained quirks to deal with what life threw at them, and Naruto knew he had a few of his own thanks to the life he had lead so far. However, there were certain lines that just weren't crossed, and Jiraiya had just crossed one of them.
"Now take your punishment like a man," Naruto continued as several clones jumped Jiraiya and tied him up. The man began to pale and plead, but Naruto ignored him and turned to look at Kin and Tayuya. "Just make sure you two leave him in servicable condition, he has a mission tomorrow, after all." With nothing more needing to be said Naruto took Kyuubi in his arms and left the white-haired man to his fate.
"NARUTO WAIT! AH! MERCY! PLEASE I – NOT THE FACE! NOT THE – YES THE FACE! YES THE FACE!"
Kyuubi smiled as she heard the sounds and pleas and screams of pain, and while she was a tad disappointed that she was not the cause of them, that didn't stop her from drinking in the sound of the man's suffering like a fine wine. She may not be as sadistic as most demons, but that didn't mean she didn't enjoy it when a pervert was put in his place like every other female.
As Naruto closed and locked the door, activating the silencing and privacy seals at the same time, Kyuubi was beginning to feel up the blond's body.
"Eager, Kyuubi-hime?" asked Naruto as the red heads hands went under his shirt and began caressing his muscled torso.
"Can't help it," Kyuubi said, her lips kissing every inch of skin they could find. "You don't show your sadistic side much so I rarely get to see it. You don't know just how much seeing you like that turns me on."
Naruto chuckled as he turned around and began reciprocating Kyuubi's actions. "No where near as much as seeing you in that new lingerie your wearing under your Kimono does to me."
"Oh? Do you want to see it, Naruto-Sama?" asked Kyuubi, cooing as she pulled away from him. She began to dance seductively while she slowly stripped off her kimono, swaying her hips in a way that teased and enticed Naruto. Tantalizing flesh was revealed, inch after inch of creamy, milk white skin that seemed to hold an unearthly glow. When her entire Kimono was undone, it slid off her curvaceous and perfect figure, leaving her in nothing more then dark red lingerie.
"I seem to be having trouble taking this off. Perhaps you could help me?" she asked smiling seductively at Naruto and beckoned him with a finger. Naruto grinned as he moved towards her, crashing into the red-haired beauty and scooping her into his arms without pausing. He lay her down on the bed and attacked her mouth with his own, his hands going to the clasps on her lacy red bra.
It was a good thing they had such powerful silencing and security seals, otherwise Jiraiya would have gotten far more then just two teenage girls having fun tonight. If he were in any condition to spy on them that is. No doubt the cries, groans, moans, shrieks and giggles that would have come from Naruto's and Kyuubi's room would have given the man more then enough material to produce an entire trilogy of Icha Icha Paradise that night.
As it was, even if they didn't have security seals set up, the man was no doubt too busy getting his ass kicked to actually do anything. Too bad for him.
Wow, my last chapter received more updates then any other chapter in this story to date. It's a shame that this is the end of my string of one-a-day updates. I may have one more chapter that will come soon after this, but I doubt it will be tomorrow. So far all I've really been doing was following the canon plot while adding my own twists and plot bunnies to it so it was pretty easy to shoot chapters out of my ass like a full-auto rifle fires bullets. However, now is where the major changes in the timeline will take place and that will make my writing much harder. Everything that happened in the original Naruto after the Search for Tsunade arch will not be in here except for maybe a few missions of my choosing. For the most part, the rest of this story will be original.
For those of you who have reviewed and followed my story, I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I will update when I can but that may take a while.
To switch topics a bit, I just got two lovely reviews from vizard for my reply of his last review. I won't tell you all what they said since you can look them up in my review section if you want to read them. I only have one thing to say to him and that is, thank you for giving me two more reviews to my review count. I truly find it pleasing to know that despite the fact that you apparently hating my story, you like it enough to read and leave me a review.
A/N: On a side note, I am looking for several Beta readers to help me with my writing. I want more then one because different people tend to catch different mistakes, and I figured the more people checking my work for errors, the less there will be. If interested send me a message and I will contact you.
