Naruto found it a bit more than a little irksome arriving in the dungeon again, he'd like to have normal dreams again. Like maybe that one about him, a bowl of ramen the size of a Olympic swimming pool, and a harem of cute girls sunning themselves around him as he swims. Now he just had to go talk with Lady and Kitsune, maybe he'll stick around for a little longer this time.
He found Lady locking the cage of Kitsune, leaving her floating in the middle of the iron barred off area, being suspended by chains. At least he thought it was Kitsune being bound in that inflated latex suit, with a large air-filled tail dangling down limply. "Giving her some time off are we Lady?" Naruto asked with a smile as the mistress locked the cage close.
"Yes Master Uzumaki, she has been good in her training today, so I'm giving her a rest..." Lady informed him, slipping the key behind her mask with ease. "Is there anything you wish of me sir?"
"Walk with me... I'd like to have a look around today..." Naruto suggested while waving to the doorway that had formed since the last time he was here. Over the top of the arch was stylized script which read, 'There's a new submissive born every minute. - M.N.'. Something about that phrase just drew his attention, and made him want to see what was inside.
For the first time he'd heard Lady make a sound that didn't give off the aura of control and command that she'd always had since they'd met. Giving her a moment to regain herself, he pressed on, letting the question of what she'd seen to cause the slip fade into the back of his mind. Instead he arrived in one of the strangest rooms he'd ever seen before.
It was barren, save for a lavender egg, and a chocolate brown egg. Walking over to the two eggs, he tenderly stroked each one, hearing a soft musical moan coming from under his fingers. "W...what are these?"
"Submissive Spirits that want you to be their dominant..." came a response from behind him, causing him to whirl on his heel and stare in shock at the man that stood before him. White latex body suit with matching cape and mask, all trimmed on the bottoms by red flames. Even as he watched, the figure knelt down before him, in an act of supplication. "Greetings my creator... I am your Master's Spirit... I have chosen a form based off the master you most admire, The Fourth Supreme Master of Konohagakure, Minato Namikaze."
"Uhh... yeah... where'd Lady go?" Naruto asked cautiously, knowing that the more voices in his head, the less likely it will be to pass his next guild mandated psychological evaluations. "And do you have a name?"
"The one you refer to as Lady is unable to enter here... I am sorry, but it is the rule of this chamber," the spirit answered, still having not risen an inch from his spot. "As for my name... I suppose that Naruto would be redundant... but I believe you have a name for me..."
It took a moment, but Naruto's frazzled psyche finally came up with the name for the personification of his Master's Spirit. "Arise Flash, and tell me more about this chamber..."
The so named Flash rose from his kneeling position and in a sweeping gesture indicated the entire area. "This realm is yours to craft as you see fit My Creator... As you had with the chamber housing Kitsune, you may do with here as you will, but the eggs cannot be tampered with during their stages..."
"Stages? Are they like cocoons on a caterpillar or something?" Naruto asked gently running his fingers over the two eggs lightly, letting their melody fill the background emptiness to the room. Slowly his hands stopped and he looked down at them in thought. "I shouldn't be touching them if that's the case..."
"Oh no My Creator, no, they are yours to touch as you please in this stage... you just cannot puncture them, nor view the contents until you are ready. The next stage, when you are ready for it will limit what you are able to do, as the Spirit will be especially fragile at that point..." Flash explained while walking over to stand next to the master of the realm. "As I am your manifestation here, I will act as your second in command, and monitor the status here..."
"That's... cool..." Naruto murmured before stroking the two eggs again gently. "I want to protect them... they're calling out to me..."
"Yes My Creator... as their Master you are the one they love, the one they trust above all others..." the flame licked spirit explained while summoning up a chair to sit in out of the nothingness. "I should warn you... the Submissive Spirit is... different than you might expect My Creator..."
Naruto stopped his stroking of the eggs and looked over at the seated version of himself curiously. He'd not expected much at this point, maybe seeing the person that belonged to the egg when it hatched. Slowly the pieces began falling into place as he figured things out in his mind. "They're going to be what they desire to be... not what they are to the outside world... aren't they?"
He could almost see the smile from Flash through the mask as he nodded. "That is correct My Creator... very astute..."
Naruto seemed more intent to rub and play with the eggs of the Submissive Spirits in his care. The melodies of beautiful moans created such a wonderful song that he couldn't help but love it. "Any ideas who they are?"
"No My Creator, I have no knowledge of their names, but I have a suspicion about the brown one..." Flash answered while indicating the one he'd mentioned. "I must commend you on your deft handling of the one named Haku earlier... it was a masterful awakening of the submissiveness in her."
"But I didn't, did I? I mean I just talked to her, and helped her find those herbs and stuff... I didn't do anything like they taught us in class..." Naruto asked in confusion as he leaned against the lavender egg gently, drawing forth a moan of pleasure that sent shivers up his spine.
"Feh, those fools that are in charge of teaching you masters these days... remember what a true master is... Defender of their slaves, love of their lives, bringer of their hopes and dreams. You have awoken more than you know my young friend, and I look forward to seeing more..." Flash countered with a tone that let Naruto know just how big of a smirk he had on his face.
"But if they're teach..." Naruto started, only to get cut off as he woke up to find Kakashi staring down at him with a baleful eye.
"Hey kiddo... I've got the training picked out... you're going to learn how to duel," the Lord Master stated dryly as he started staggering out, looking like a man that had a few too many drinks. Letting out a heavy sigh, Naruto sat up, looked at the clothes he fell asleep in, and just shrugged. They would do as well as any other he'd brought along.
Once they were outside, Naruto followed his teacher on his wandering, dizzying path out into the depths of the forests. Maybe he needed a little more rest before he passes out somewhere. Once they arrived at a clearing, Kakashi pulled out a red sealed scroll and waved it so Naruto could focus on it. "This... is a scroll of summoning for Justicars. Your opponent today is five of them. You either catch them, or they catch you. Have fun."
Kakashi flicked out the scroll and five Justicars popped into the clearing, each identical to the last. Lots of latex, leather belts, and red leather whips. Naruto didn't wait for them to get a bead on him, his first move was one that had always served him well in the past. Disappering.
One minute the ladies were eying him up for a size seven scroll, and the next he was gone. If any of them got him, he would likely end up their slave for life. Hiding in the trees he smirked as he summoned forth a couple handfuls of chains. This was going to be interesting.
This was going to be interesting, thought Haku as she watched Naruto beginning his training. It was nearly a perfect opportunity Those fake Justicars provided her the perfect, delicious opening that she just had to exploit. So when one of them wandered away from the pack, she stunned them with her senbon needles, and borrowed their mask.
A quick storage of them into a scroll later, with their spares being added to her belt. She was on the prowl for the blond that she was going to tame. His teacher... well Master Zabuza never loses.
Never.
