If Hinata was nervous about this meeting, she didn't show it. Rather it was her younger sister that was pacing nervously while their master was out and they were waiting for the arrival of their honored guest. Their master had left behind a protective seal on the entryway into the main dungeon complex, and added a few defensive seals to their collars in case someone tried to take them away.

So Hinata chose to trust in their master, and in their own abilities, while sitting nice and still like a stone statue. If anyone had so much as touched her she'd probably have jumped clean through the ceiling. But instead she sat there looking like the picture of serene patience. Finally the elevator arrived with a soft ding, and the two slaves took up their positions, bowing to the elevator with their foreheads touching the ground.

"Rise, and speak freely..." came the grave, serious voice of the man that made up half of their genetic code.

"Greetings Grand-Master Hyuuga, are you well?" Hanabi asked as she rose, being just a hair faster than her older sister.

Hinata finally got a good look at her father, the man she hadn't seen since she'd claimed the title of mistress at the academy. He seemed different today, far older, worn-down, and tired than he had been the last time they'd met. She couldn't help but wonder if he saw his daughters differently as well. "I am well, thank you Hanabi, and you can call me father... I did say speak freely."

A small smile played over Hinata's lips as Hanabi hugged her father close, answering with a muffled "Yes daddy," into his chest. After he cast a warm, sad smile down at her, he lifted his gaze and met with Hinata's for all of half a second before she looked down with a heavy blush.

It had been only a few months since they last saw each other, and in that time she'd lost the title he had pushed her so hard to gain. Countless nights were lost to study, training, and punishing her for poor grades. Instead of the proud mistress with two slaves to her name, she was a right-hand slave to the boy she'd fallen in love with, like so many of the other fangirls out there. However, her crush had accepted her, and seemed to be an honorable man in his responsibilities. "H... Hello Father..."

"Hinata," Hiashi answered in his neutral tone that alerted her to just how much she'd screwed up. He only used that tone when he was fighting down extreme rage and disappointment in her. Lowering her head further she wished she could just go back to her room and hide away. But instead she remained to talk with her father as he'd requested.

"Come here Hinata," her father ordered, pulling away from Hanabi slightly and standing there, waiting for her. She was in for it now, she was going to be punished for failing him again, and she couldn't bear to see Naruto suffer for her failings. Should she resist and let the wards protect her? Should she refuse her father? However, even as these thoughts ran through her mind, she instinctively moved towards her living parent, head still bowed in submission.

As she stopped, two things registered with her mind. One was that the blows she'd been expecting weren't coming. The second, which was directly related to the first was that her father was on one knee before her, his arms wrapped around her in a warm and tender embrace that she had to remember was a parental hug. Softly he whispered into her ear, "I'm so happy you found what your heart desired, and I'm sorry I pushed you along the wrong path."

Stiffening in the unfamiliar contact with the man, she felt millions of feelings race through her, even as her arms shakily reached up and awkwardly hugged him in return. All those years of pain, all that buried resentment, all those nights spent crying in loneliness came back in a wash of anguish that tore into her heart and had tears rolling down her cheeks. But a distant memory, of her as a little girl kneeling in front of a grave sobbing her eyes out while her father cradled her sister and rubbed her back gently.

Had it really been since then that she'd been comforted by her father?

Pulling back, she looked at the man again expecting to see his disappointment, anger and how much he despised how far his daughter had fallen, she only saw warmth, acceptance and love. It was a strange sight in his pale white eyes, but it was something she'd missed growing up. "T...thank you daddy..."

As she watched she could almost see a great weight being lifted from him, as though the years of hardness to her had been as painful for him as it had been for her. His smile spoke volumes that she could never imagine him ever speaking with his own voice.

"I'm glad that you two have found a good master to serve under, and I wish to make our new superior a present..." Hiashi explained while he pulled something out from a pouched she had failed to notice at the small of his back. The moment the scroll caught her eyes, they nearly bugged out of their sockets. Some minor part of her mind informed her that her little sister also recognized the scroll as well.

It was a pair of scrolls wrapped inside themselves that contained a set of instructions that had been handed down the Hyuuga bloodline for generations. The instructions to create and destroy the seals that bound the branch family to their servitude of the main family. These were the key-most secret to the Hyuuga clan's power, the Hyuuga Sōke no Juinjutsu, did her father expect Naruto to use it on her and Hanabi?

No... anyone that even remotely knew Naruto could tell he would never use such a seal on a person. Then what could her father possibly give it to Naruto for? Was there something Naruto could do that her father couldn't?

If her eyes weren't already nearly the size of dinner plates, they would have widened even further as she realized that there was something Naruto could do that no Hyuuga would be able to. He could destroy the scrolls themselves.

Naruto could free the Hyuuga clan.

It had originally been a way to prevent any of the branch family from uprising and destroying the scrolls in a bid for freedom, but it had worked too well and made it so that no person of Hyuuga blood could destroy the papers. And even if there was sentiment to remove the seal from use in the clan, there was a group in power that prevented it. The Elder clan of Hyuuga Masters had blocked every attempt to abolish the seals by a clan head, but Naruto being outside and superior to the clan meant that he could act without the councils approval.

"Take these scrolls Hinata and give them to the one you love... Explain to him exactly what they are, and why I have chosen to entrust them to his care..." Hiashi ordered, folding her hands around the scrolls calmly. The smile was gone now, instead was another expression that she had never seen on him before, a look of expectation married with extreme confidence in another person to fulfill them.

Hinata bowed quietly as she tucked the scrolls close to her heart, holding them tightly as though to say that she would never part with them. "I will Father..."

"Good, now tell me about the man that has captured your hearts..." Hiashi stated, causing the two sisters to blush furiously, while a reminiscent smile crossed his face. Ah, these two were so much like their mother, rest her soul. "But how about some tea while we talk?"

That night, Naruto wasn't quite sure if he was dreaming or if this really was his Master Space, after all he doubted he could ever fully understand what was going on here. Hinata's submissive spirit was bunny hopping around the room, while a hobbled Kitsune was chasing after her, Flash and Lady were sitting over on the side of the dungeon laughing and enjoying the sight.

"Do I even want to ask?"

"Hello Master Uzumaki," Lady called out, waving him over. "Bunny and Kitsune were both looking like they could use a little exercise... so we decided to have them play a game of catcher and prey."

"Does the predator get to eat the prey if she catches her?" Naruto asked while the newly named Bunny managed to spring free at the last minute from a dive of Kitsune's designed to trip her up. Instead she gained several minutes worth of time to separate herself from her chaser.

If either of the submissive animals heard them, they gave no indication, nor did they seem particularly interested in anything but their game. Even as he watched, Kitsune pushed herself up and began hobbling after the elusive Bunny again.

"You know... we never stated either way..." Lady mused while leaning back against the wall casually, and Flash mimicked her move for move. He really wished he could see their faces behind those masks, since he was nearly entirely certain that they were smirking behind them.

"It would be a nice reward... But wouldn't it be better for the victor to get the reward?" Flash asked calmly.

"Ah... how does Bunny win?" Naruto asked, taking up a place next to the others as he watched Bunny lead Kitsune into a wall, and then hop away with a snicker as Kitsune pries herself off of the wall. The slight indent in the wall slowly reformed itself into a solid wall, and it seemed that Kitsune was no worse for the hit either, judging by her growling and persistence. Subtly he reached back and pushed against the wall, finding that it felt just like padding.

"We changed the walls to prevent them from hurting themselves, as for how Bunny wins... well we have set up a time limit for which Kitsune has to catch Bunny by. There's about two minutes left..." Flash explained while Kitsune continued to chase after Bunny.

Naruto relaxed to watch the two in their intricate game of Fox and Bunny, his mind drifting away from worries he'd held since he'd been given the scrolls by Hinata earlier that day. He had a lot of power over the Hyuuga clan, and yet he didn't even want to consider using it. It wasn't the guild's way to have such control over a person, but because it was in place before the guild arose, it had been grandfathered in.

Closing his eyes, he sighed heavily as his mind locked onto the matter of the scrolls. They were such a heavy burden he wanted to just torch them and be done with it. But if he did that, he'd be destroying a priceless gift that Hiashi had entrusted to him. Priceless and in the same breath utterly worthless.

A shrill whistle from Lady alerted him to the end of the match, with Bunny hopping victory circles around Kitsune that was slumped down on her knees in defeat. Smiling warmly he clapped his hands at her sport, before an idea claimed his mind. "Bunny, come here a moment..."

As she bounced over, he couldn't help but idly wonder if she realized just what an effect her motions had on the carrot he had for her. Pulling her down onto his lap with a little squeak from the bound girl, he smiled as his hands began tracing tiny circles on her stomach, earning him soft moans of pleasure from her. Oh yeah, this was definitely a way to get his mind off matters. "Kitsune... come and eat some bunny..." he ordered with a playful smirk as he used his legs to capture Bunny's trapping her into position.

The cute little moans and squirming of Bunny made him give off a wicked little smile as he heard the chuckles of amusement from the two other dominating entities in his mind. It was time for him to finally have some fun with his little submissive collection.

As he woke up, something that Lady had suggested while he was enjoying the activities of his two wonderful girls. If he could just figure out the proper seals, he'd be able to bring out Lady and Kitsune into his dungeon. It would be something to look into, maybe those scrolls his parents had left him would have an answer.

Thinking of scrolls, brought about the realization that he'd completely forgotten to get an answer about the scrolls that Hiashi had left for him. Maybe a talk with Hinata was in order, Hanabi, Haku, and Tenten might have suggestions.

In an office several floors below where Naruto was waking up, two people were discussing the plans for the future. "You told him?"

"Yes Supreme-master... he has agreed to fight for my contract should he face the Uchiha," the second one answered, revealing his silver hair as he watched the old man curiously. This was a truly risky maneuver, but the reward was going to be very much worth it. "I know it was my idea... but are you sure he'll be able to do it? Win that is..."

The first let out a dark little chuckle as he turned back, pulling the pipe from his mouth. "Oh, I am wondering about the end result my dear Lord-Master... but it is more what shape the Uchiha is going to be in..."

A truly evil smile spread over his face as he stepped in front of the fire, "Personally I'd prefer 'pretzel' or maybe 'hogtied' would be better... the child needs to realize that he can only become a master by being the best, not by using shortcuts. If it wasn't for the council, he would have washed out of the program within the first month of the academy."

"Yes Supreme-master..." the subordinate answered with a frown as he considered exactly what the first month had entailed. If there had been any other Uchiha available at all, Sasuke would have been stored in the dungeons under the Stone Monolith for his failures in the first weeks. Even now the boy was a menace to the term 'Master', turning his parts of the Monolith from a dungeon of the elite, to a place of torment and horror that only the strongest could possibly survive.

The superior master turned away from his junior and sighed heavily, his mind flashing back to the largest offense that Sasuke had managed to get away with. He had taken a vast majority of his fangirls and led them into his dungeons, promising them that he'd bring someone to show them what exactly would be expected of them should they be accepted. Two days of no food or water later, the little bastard unleashed a group of mercenaries on the girls to rape them. Before the guild could react the girls suddenly vanished and Sasuke wouldn't say a word about them, save when he went to the bank a few days later and deposited one ryuu per girl into his account.

While the guild couldn't find any direct links to wrong doing by the surviving Uchiha, everyone knew that the boy had sold them off dirt cheap. The guild has been keeping an eye on him, and makes certain that his slaves were alive and well every day, but they couldn't find closure for the families that were missing their daughters.

"Do you know what will happen if others pursue the path that our 'genius' Hyuuga and Uchiha masters are going down?" the Supreme-master asked while turning away from the fire to settle down on a chair. "Konoha will be nothing but a broken shell of our current glory, and so far only a few carefully placed Justicars have prevented that fate. Could you imagine what would happen if they had their torture happy way? They would abolish the guild, and start destroying everything people have built throughout the generations."

"I know Supreme-master, but we are working to prevent that," Kakashi answered calmly while inside terror was gripping his heart. As bad as his memories of being at the judgenatrix's tender mercies were, the thought of what would happen without them around was far worse.

"What would happen if Naruto should lose?" Kakashi asked, as the lights finally returned.

"Oh good, they replaced the fuse..." Sarutobi mused before turning to face Kakashi again. "If Naruto should lose, we are lost."
