A Reawakened God
Chapter two
A quick note before you read this chapter, this is start of the main story now that Minato has arrived in the present time. It starts on the invasion of Kamikura island with the first five Sekirei defending the island. From there it will be Minato's first meeting with Minaka, Takami, and the Discipline Squad and their different interactions, finding out about the Sekirei Plan, and winging his first Sekireis.
Enough of that let's get to the carnage that will be Minato destroying the invasion force.
Disclaimer: Still don't own this
Talking: "Hello"
Thoughts: 'Hello'
"Attacks"
Staring at the back of Minato were Miya and the rest of the Discipline Squad, disbelief in their eyes not believing the man, who proclaims that he will destroy the invading army that was attacking his home.
Who was he exactly? Was he a Sekirei, no Miya was there when Matsu and the others first woke up. If Minato was indeed a Sekirei then she would have known about it. Shaking herself at of her frozen state Miya raised her katana at Minato's unprotected back.
"Exactly who are you and answer me truthfully, or I'll cut you down where you stand."
Minato didn't react to her threat, or showed any signs of protecting himself should she choose to attack him. Not looking back at the glare she was giving his back Minato said. "Like you I'm protecting my home against these idiotic fools. I know you don't trust me and I won't ask you to, however, you won't stop me from protecting my home."
Closing his eyes and opening them again revealing his Rinnegan to the world, he calmly spoke, "It's been a long time since I last stretched my legs this will make for a good warmup." He claps his hands together and began channeling massive amounts of chakra.
Miya and the others still remain rooted to where they where not sure if they should attack Minato, while he was defenseless or wait and see what he does. Miya however lowers her sword to her side but does not sheath it. She was curious about this man, who showed no fear when she threaten to kill him and his resolve to protect Kamikura island despite being seen as the enemy.
Why? What is motive, what is he currently thinking about. She needed, no wanted these answers from him and she will get them, even if she must kill him, she will get her answers from Minato one way or the other.
Just about done gathering the necessary chakra for the jutsu he had in mind. This jutsu was taught to him by the Bijuus saying that it's a jutsu feared for it's incredible power, the only one capable of using such a jutsu was the Juubi when it still roamed free centuries ago. Wanting to tested it out immediately when he was first told of it, however, he needed a large space and an equally large army to test it on.
"Lucky me" He grinned sadistically finishing his preparations, "You may want to hold onto something although it's your choice if you believe me or not." He addressed the five sekieri behind him, who wondering what he meant by holding on to something. Unsure of the nature behind his warning they crouched down to their knees and hanged on for the coming storm.
Hands still clasp together Minato look to the darkening skies of thunderclouds having form earlier during his preparation stage. Smirking he shouted to jutsu to the heavens above.
"Ranton: Tenpenchii!" ("Storm Release: Cataclysm!")
xox
In a room filled with computers and a large monitor playing the battle outside. The room shook as a large earthquake suddenly appeared out of no where.
"What the hell is going on!" Came the shout of Takami Sahashi seen holding onto the railing of the platform she was standing on. She looks around and saw most of the workers were either hiding under their computers, or where on the ground injured and unable to lift themselves up.
"Statics report! What the hell is happening outside?!" A man who holding himself up from holding onto the corner of his desk informed Takami of the situation.
"We can't explain it ourselves but a gigantic storm appeared out of no where and is attacking the invasion fleet offshore." He finished his report as another shockwave brought him back down to the ground.
"Get me a live feed on what's going on outside now!" Several seconds later and appearing on the big monitor was the battle happening outside right this second, and what Takami saw left her speechless as sweat visibly poured down her face. "W-What in-"
xox
A string of natural disaster suddenly occur at the call of Minato.
Hell manifested on the sea in destructive chaos and ruin. Tornadoes, lighting and thunder, earthquake, tsunamis, and whirlpools. An entire orchestrate of disasters plague the invasion force who were at the mercy of it all. This chaos ensued for five whole minutes before the storm ceased and most of the invasion fleet was destroyed, ships of all sizes were doused in flames sinking to the bottom of the oceanfloor, hundreds of bodies where scattered everywhere dead, face first in the water, and floating above the surface.
Dozens of sharks soon arrived from the large blood spill and feasted on the massacre.
Looking further out whistling in astonishment Minato saw a few aircraft carriers critically wounded but still fit to sail further out in the water amidst the destruction. "Hoh, it seems there are still a few who are still breathing, I may not have full control of my power given I have been sleeping for so long still they have my respect." Minato put his hands into a hand sign summoning an incomplete version of his Susano'o, with the two faces making their own hand sign in tandem with Minato. "I will show them another terror as my way of respecting their tenacity."
Soon the black and grey clouds parted to reveal a huge meteorite covered in red hot flames barreling down towards them.
"Whew, you don't see that everyday." Karasuba said nonchalant as if talking about the weather staring up at the meteor coming in fast.
"How can you be so calm about this Karasuba! A huge, gigantic meteor is coming striaght for us!" Matsu was having a nervous breakdown. She too was staring up at the meteorite in disbelief. She couldn't fathom how Minato managed to to do something like this, or question his sanity of summoning a metor to finish off their wounded enemy
"Although I won't react like Matsu, I do have to agree with Karasuba. This is impressive." Kazehana said with a netraul tone, her face devoid of any emotion.
Miya looked up seeing the size of the meteorite, knowing that while it will wipe out what remains of the invasion force, it will most likely destroy Kamikura island as well.
'Was this his plan from the very beginning. Have us lower our guard around him when he said he will protect the island, or was he lying this entire time.' With katana in hand Miya was about to kill him when Minato released his Susano'o and broke into a new set of hand signs.
"Don't believe that I was lying when I said I will protect the island. I would never raise my hand against my family." He slams his right hand to the earth yelling out, "Uchiha Kaenijin!" And a barrier of dark-red flames surrounded the island in cube prison shielding them and the island from harms way.
The meteorite touchdown after the barrier's placement rocking the seas once more in an massive earthquake, Kamikura island, however, with being inside of the barrier only suffered from the aftershock of the earthquake leaving no damage to the inside what's so ever.
Grinning sadistically at the sounds of the dying sailors Minato said. "It's not over just yet, settle down!" Again another meteorite entered Earth's atmosphere and was much faster than the previous one. It touchdown sooner creating tsunamis alongside a second earthquake.
Minutes passes when the rumbling of the Earth and the seas finally came to a stop, deactivating the barrier Minato and the five Sekirei looked out into the now graveyard of ships aflame burning on top of the water, ships of all sizes sank or were still sinking from the aftermath of natural disasters after natural disaster and two meteorites in tandem with each other for the topping on the cake.
The five Sekirei who made up the discipline squad were speechless, they unable to speak words after seeing for themselves the destruction this man made in under five minutes. What power, and strength they thought while glancing at the back of Minato.
Just who was he. This had the other four wondering about Minato's origins just like Miya before the first meteorite hit
Minato went into making another jutsu, finishing the hand signs he brought his arms out and the waves moved at his command. He made short work of cleanup leaving no ships remaining and all flames douse. His mastery over the water element has come a long way.
Bringing his arms down to his sides he sighed knowing he taxed his body to its limit, he would have to begin training soon to get his powers under control again. He turns around gazing at the five sekirei for a second, his eyes meeting there's for the first time. He surprised them by walking past them not saying a word as he continued his way back to the underground library.
However, he was stopped being surrounded on all sides by men wearing military uniforms and assault rifles in hand and tanks pointing their large guns at him. He didn't react to the obvious threat to his person nor move to defend himself either. He heard yelling coming from the crowd and someone pushing their way to the front. It revealed to be a woman in her mid twenty's with black hair and wearing a white lab coat.
"Hold it right there you! I don't know who you are and where you came from but you're under arrest, now come quietly no need to make things difficult." To prove her point several red laser markers appeared on Minato's body all pointing at vital areas, such as his brain and heart.
Still not showing any concern for his situation Minato instead laughs causing Takami and the soldiers to take a step back.
"Hahaha! Has anyone ever told you to respect your elders, child?"
Takami taken back from his answer resorted with a glare, "What are you talking about?! You're no older than me!"
He smiles at her causing Takami to fight back a blush seeing his handsome face smiling, his mature looks and beard really made him look much older than he appeared and more devilishly sexy to her. Shaking her head to stop her mind from going any further with that setence, Minato activates his Susano'o which manifest around him showing the perfect version of the head and mask.
The troops after seeing this monstrosity lowered their weapons with fear fueling their brains and heart. Miya and the others after running to catch up to Minato stopped in their tracks seeing Minato's demonic-looking gray Susano'o head.
Crossing his arms Minato addresses the gathered crowd from inside his Susano'o, "If you still wish to fight then that's fine with me, to be honest I wasn't satisfied with my previous partner, hopefully you can dance better than them?"
The sound of laughter and clapping of hands brought everyone attention to whoever it was. Pushing through the crowd of soldiers that parted out of his way revealed a man with black hair, glasses that had a forever fog-up effect preventing the man's eyes to be seen. And his choice of clothing were strange to say the least. Minato didn't know where to begin when describe this man.
"Wonderful, just wonderful! The performance you put on today was truly magnificent, that spiky hair along with those rugged facial features, various metal armor platings with a regal robes with a standing collar, and the overbearing aura and powers to match. I can only think of one name that comes to mind and I do hope that it's you."
"Hmph, shouldn't it the one asking for one's name give his name first?" Minato replied with a smirk on his his visage looking at the crowd in front of him.
"Right you are and my apologies for being so inconsiderate. My name is Hiroto Minaka, a pleasure to make your acquaintance." He finishes in a bow with one hand over his heart, Takami off to the sideline had her head in her hands saying what an idiot he was.
"Senju Minato" Minato said hearing a gasp come from the woman Takami, who look like she had just seen a ghost. Minaka, however was grinning from ear to ear, his glasses glinted from the sunlight making him look slightly insane. If not more so.
"M-M-Minato Senju..." Takami stutters over her words unable to catch her voice.
"As I expected." Minaka uttered under his breath no one hearing it except for Takami, who turns to her partner in shock, disbelief, and fear.
"Minaka! How can you just stand there like nothing is wrong when he is standing right there?" Takami casts a wary eye towards Minato. His eyes were closed, a look of concentration on his face waiting for the revelation of who he was to sink in.
Minaka ignores her in favor of staring at Minato's face, who was not paying any attention to him. Miya and the other sekirei arrived at the front of the crowd, and seeing Minaka and Takami here they walked to towards them stopping beside Minaka. The man turning to greet the sekireis with a smile on his face.
"Sir, what is going on do you know who that man is?" Miya said to Minaka with the latter turning back to gaze at Minato before answering the purplette standing next to him.
"No, I don't know him personally but I do know who he is and his legend he's known for."
"Who is he?" Matsu ask timely, Kazehana, Karasuba, and Mutsu listening intently wanting to know just who was he if Minaka and Takami knew who he was.
"His name is Minato Senju, and he is known for many things but he's widely known as the first Emperor where he's from. He's revered as a living god in human flesh for his power that resemble much of a god's and for single-handily unifying the elemental nations. A place that no longer exists but was known to always have conflict where death was a daily occurrence back then."
Miya and the discipline squad and the army of soldiers who had no information about Minato were appalled by Takami's speech. However, she wasn't done just yet, "He died thousands of years ago no one knows how he died everyone just assumed he died from old age when he disappeared, so why... why is he standing here looking like he's in his thirties?!" Takami yelled out gritting her teeth in frustration unable to grasp on how a legend remembered and revered through history was alive.
Minaka with his glasses shining in an ominous way, grin on his face looked at the situation with mirth.
Miya's face held shock and a speck of fear in her eyes, the power she felt coming from him easily match her's, no far greater than her's. No matter how strong she appeared, she could never match his power with her own. And the way he demolish the fleet without feeling fatigue, or breathing heavily after he summoned two meteorites in row just further proves how strong he truly was.
Matsu like Miya was appalled but held more fear than her leader. For weeks Kamikura island had been the battlefield for them against the World's army, Matsu and the others were the sole defenders fighting off impossible odds that just keep appearing again and again. Today they had manage to catch them off guard with a raid that would have guarantee the world's army victory had Minato not intervene when he did. And the way he dispose of the fleet so easily as if he was not trying at all, scared Matsu greatly.
Kazehana hid her emotions far better than Matsu and second to Miya but it didn't stop her from containing her growing fear for Minato. However, she wasn't completely terrified of him he did save them and Kamikura island on the grounds that it was his home as well, and from Takami mentioning a summary of his history than there was much more to Minato than he lets on. She was curious of him and hoped to learn more about him from Minaka and Takami, or she'll go see Minato in person and ask him.
Mutsu was indifferent but his eyes held fear towards Minato as well, he turned to look back out to sea, the same location where Minato destroyed the enemy fleet. The memory of twin meteorites still fresh in his brain.
Karasuba was opposite of everyone else, with having a grin on her beautiful face. From calling a storm of natural disasters to bringing down two meteorites one ahead of the other all in an instant. It excited her at the chance to face Minato in combat, and from Takami's and Minaka's talks of him saying how he is a human god, her grin only increased as she slowly reach for the hilt of her Nodachi.
Minato remained calm not showing any hint on how he was feeling, his posture was that of stone and his face was hardened, making it difficult to read him. He took a quick breather and spoke up, "I won't lie that you are on the right track on who I am, however, you forget that while I was married I took the name Uchiha to honor both my best friend and to my wife. By the way I'm forty-four, I appreciate your efforts to make me feel better about my age Takami-san."
Minaka with his grin widening showing his pearly-white teeth, "Haha, but everyone knows who you are Minato-kun, anyone who can unite an entire land under one banner will be remembered through-out history, even if they try to destroy all evidence of their existence."
Minato glared at Minaka, who either wasn't affect or generally didn't care. "Damn you, how can you know so much about me, and if you knew who I was then why remain on Yuurei island?"
"Because Yuurei island is not located on a map, even till this day this island has remained cut off from the rest of the world. With its many whirlpools and dense fog the terrain is hard to cross, even seasoned sailors think twice when pasting through these waters. In other words its perfect and suits our needs."
"What do you mean?"
Minato tore his gaze away from Minaka and focus on the five Sekirei standing next to him, "You five... you are not human are you?" Takami and the Sekireis eyes widened, while Minaka looks at this new development in amusement, if he had a lawn chair and some popcorn he would be enjoying this in style. "From what I can gather from everyone here everyone's chakra is far lower than a normal civilian should have, but you five have chakra levels around jonin level while she-." He pointed towards Miya. "Has the chakra levels of a kage." He walks up and stands in front of Miya staring into Miya's brown eyes as if he was searching for something. Miya becoming increasingly uncomfortable with his gaze reached for her katana, but immediately froze when she heard Minato say.
"You remind me of my late wife." Miya's brain was unable to comprehend what he just said to her, she looked up to see his face, his eyes held sadness. What Miya was seeing was a completely different side to Minato that she didn't know he possessed. From the small time that she met Minato she saw him as a man, no a god who can summon the very heavens at his disposal and shows no mercy to his enemies.
But seeing him now, looking at his defeated and tired visage. She started asking questions to what he could have gone through to have so much pain and sadness in his eyes.
Miya for reasons unknown wanted to help this man in pain in front of her, she wanted to help sooth his raging heart, but refrain from doing so. What was happening to her? She would never have these thoughts towards anyone, she wouldn't show compassion, or worry for anyone except her fellow Sekirei even if it was small.
So why was this man able to bring these emotions out of her.
Minato steps back and as quick as it appeared his eyes changed back to their normal aged look, Miya was the only one to see him do this but kept quiet about his change. "If I had to guess you have more of them here on the island?" Seeing no hesitations or attempts to hide it Takami spoke up.
"Yes, there are one-hundred and eight Sekirei that crash landed on this island, currently standing before you are the first five to awaken, Miya." She pointed to the lavender-haired woman, "Is the Sekirei pillar, Sekirei #01 and their leader. There are still one-hundred and three Sekirei that have yet to awaken."
Minato looks back at the five sekirei gauging their reactions and feelings, he sense no hostile intent from them except from the silver-haired woman who had a hand on the hilt of her nodachi. He pours more chakra to increased his range of sense and indeed sensed several other signatures hidden underground in a lab of sorts. Cutting off the connection he looked to Minaka and Takami.
"You may continue to use the island to your pleasure, I sensed nothing foul coming from anyone here." Decivating his Susano'o he turns back around heading for the underground library, "I'll reset the whirlpool defenses to keep the navy out if they decide to send reinforcements."
xox
Minato coming down the stairs, he scans the cave seeing nothing had really changed, he spotted Zetsu examining a book inside the library. He must have woken up some time after he had awaken. He turns around hearing footsteps behind and saw Minaka, Takami, and the rest of the discipline squad coming down the steps.
Seeing that they have been spotted Minaka jovially call to Minato. "Ah, Minato-kun you wouldn't mind if we tag along right?" He finished in a stupid pose that earn him a hit on the head from Takami. Minato didn't react to this but welcome them to follow.
Arriving at the entrance to the library the group came across what appeared to be someone with the appendages of a venus-flytrap and one half of his skin was black and the other half is white.
Minato walks up to Zetsu, who turned his body around hearing his footsteps. The two embraced in a quick hug, a testament of their friendship and Minato was happy to know Zetsu was back at his side.
"You're awake now Zetsu?" Minato says to him. Zetsu nods his head with the white half smiling showing his jagged teeth smile to Minato.
"Hai, Minato-sama. That was a nice nap to wake up from. I feel rejuvenated and ready to serve you."
"What was that rubbling earlier? I haven't felt the Earth shake like that since your fight with the entire Shinobi alliance." Black Zetsu in his gruff and hoarse monotone questioned Minato about the rubbling from before.
"Ah, he does have a point. I thought we were going to sink to the bottom of the ocean with those many earthquakes." White Zetsu yawned, when he arrived at Minato's side both halves noticed faces they had never seen before staring at him strangely.
"Ano... Minato-sama we have company."
"No worries Zetsu they're our allies starting today. As for the rubbling you felt earlier was me getting rid of some trash offshore." The way he said this surprised and intrigued the group standing behind him. Takami and Matsu were terrified of him. Miya, Kazehana, and Mutsu were wary of him unsure how to interpret that. While Minaka and Karasuba were both grinning wildly.
"I trust your judgment Minato-sama, you always have your reasons behind your actions."
"Thanks for your trust. Come, the library is this way." Minato, with Zetsu joining the rear of the group entered the library.
The library that was once empty was now filled with books on its shelves. To one corner had a variety of different weapons from swords, spears, axes, and bows, and to another corner was filled with many bottles of sake, wine, and other types of alcohol.
"Help yourselves." Minato told them heading for his chair in the center of the library. They looked at Zetsu with both havles nodding their head and followed after Minato. Given permission to roam free the group of seven went their own ways to look around.
He sat down on his throne looking around seeing his once empty library he had found was now filled with everything from his time period. He sighed quietly to himself, with Zetsu appearing at his side standing behind his chair.
"Oh Minato-kun!" Came Minaka's shrilling voice echoing off the library's walls.
Minato turns his head to see Minaka with several books in hands placing them on the floor next to him all except for one, as he approached Minato. "Your collection is vast and impressive that I'm left speechless, an entire era's worth of history can be found in this room alone. The books you have here can help us immensely in our research. Is it alright with you if we can borrow some and return them to you in say a week?"
From seeing no change on Minato's face he believed he would say no, but he was mildly shocked when instead he heard, "Very well." leave Minato's lips.
"Thank you Minato-kun. I ensure you I will not unabuse your trust." Minato only nodded and turned his attention to Takami walking over to him and Minaka.
"I have to ask you Minato-san from allowing us to stay on the island and showing us this library, I'm curious on just what's in it for you?" Takami said with two books under her arm.
Minato brought his hands together and leaned forward in a hunch position, his eyes taking on an aged look. And for only a second Takami and Minaka both saw the making of a tear under his left eyelid before Minato squashed it away before it was noticeable.
"Let's just say I'm doing protection for the remaining unborn Sekirei. They remind me of my younger siblings." Takami didn't know how to answer that question, yes she had read about Minato's history and the loss of his younger brother and sister took a heavy toll on the man turned god sitting in front of her. She stayed quiet not wanting to dive further into her questioningly. She didn't want to upset him, or give him a reason to despise her.
"Anyways it seems like you two and the Sekirei are enjoy themselves as well." He gestures behin them to one corner of the library where Miya and Matsu were at.
Miya held a scroll vertically and was looking at the different sword katas and styles with interest. If her staring intently at the scroll in her hands was any indication. Matsu was sitting down beside her reading a book with a blank cover, however, she was giggling every second like a broken record. If Minato recalls that section had some pornography books that he collected to suit his curiosity. Looking at the tower of books sitting beside her were all from the same section.
In other words, she was a pervert.
Noting this for any future interactions he has with her Minato looked to his armory finding the single male of the group looking at the different swords and katanas on display. Turning towards his wine celler (It's underground so yes I'm calling it a cellar.) He saw Kazahana looking through his collection of various colored wines, and from her flushed cheeks she had been trying some for herself.
Now all that remain was...
Feeling the cold edge of a sword pricking his neck but drawing no blood Minato knew just who was holding the sword behind him. "See something you like?" He felt the sword come closer but he didn't panic, or react when the pointed tip entered his field of vision. Feeling her head on his left shoulder and her breath against that ear, he looked out the corner of his eyes seeing the amused and sadistic grin of Karasuba. Her eyes screamed hostility and bloodlust. Turning back to the sword she was holding it was from the armory telling Minato where she had been at previously.
"I was hoping for spar if you wouldn't mind that is? Your earlier performance left me wanting more and from the small history I know about you, I know you won't disappoint." If Minato were a lesser man he would be sweating bullets from the killing intent that she was exuding, however, Minato was far from a lesser man. After all he had fought in two world wars and defeated enemies who were far stronger than him, Lu Bu being the example of an earlier opponent he feared he couldn't defeat back then. So this killing intent while impressive it was too weak to warrant any type of reaction from him.
"Very well, I could use the warm up, I need to reacquired my former strength anyways. This will be a good start." Grinning he led Karasuba back up to the surface. Zetsu gathered everyone to follow him and locked the library behind him.
xox
Standing several feet away from each were Minato and Karasuba, On the sidelines were Minaka, Takami, and the discipline squad, Miya and the others were interested to see more of Minato fighting prowess in action for themselves.
"This is a simple spar anything goes except killing is forbidden." Minato saw Karasuba pout at not being allowed to kill he honestly found to be cute. "Ready?" He grabs the hilt of his zanpakuto pulling it free as the black flames created the steel blade but he didn't release his Shikai. He adopted a one handed stance with his sword facing away from his body. Karasuba draws her nodachi from its sheath and grabs the hilt with two hands, a crazed grin on her face.
"Begin!"
The two rocketed forward meeting in the center, their blades clashing in a flash of sparks as they clashed again and again. From the sidelines it looedk as if both were equal in terms of wielding a sword, but Miya clearly saw the difference between them. Karasuba, while a great swordswoman second to Miya was having difficultly. On the outside she looked like she always does when fighting but against Minato she was struggling and she knew it.
Back to the spar Karasuba was struggling defensively but she refuse to be beaten. Locking their blades in a deadlock she grins at Minato who raised an eyebrow at this. Pushing his katana to the side leaving him defenseless temporarily she went for a vertical slash down the middle, however, when she heard steel meeting steel she found Minato holding his sword horizontal, blocking her strike cold.
Breaking the deadlock Minato once again went on the offensive by pushing Karasuba back aiming for her arms, chest, stomach, legs, any body part that will keep her on defense he attacked. Grinding her teeth in annoyance, Karasuba 'tch' clicked her tongue not getting anywhere in their spar.
Locking swords once more she pushes him back going for a diagonal slash that he evaded by crouching the opposite side of her intended attack. Now behind her flank he went for a thrust and was impressed that she turned her body one-hundred and eighty degrees and countered his strike.
She was good, very good for a Sekirei that had been awaken for a short time and she could already be consider a master. With a little more training she would be a stronger swordswoman than she already is.
Locking swords for a forth time Minato releases a plume of black flames that would have engulfed Karasuba had she not released the deadlock, seeing his chance he gave a quick slash upwards and disarm Karasuba. With momentum he twisted his feet into a spin using the blunt side of his zanpakuto he sweeps her legs from under her dropping Karasuba onto her back. Karasuba tried to stand back up but was stopped by the tip of Tsukoterasu at her throat.
Looking up she saw Minato's smiling face, "I believe it's my win." She scowls but raised her hand to be pulled up, Minato reach with his, grabbing hers and pulls her up to her feet. "Don't feel bad you're good, not many could make me work for a win like you did and with some more training I predict you can beat me in a fair fight." He smiles with generosity in his words, Karasuba turns away with a scowl but a small blush on her cheeks hearing his honest compliment.
Turning to face the crowd who are shocked seeing Karasuba defeated too easily. Again this was Minato who had many surprises hidden up his sleeve.
"I intend to train you five to better hone your skills, my old senseis often pointed out that I had an eye for finding talent in someone, and you five have potential. I will train you all beginning tomorrow." Having said that he headed back to the underground library Zetsu following behind his step.
xox
A month had past since Minato began training the five Sekirei, although each had their differences in emotions and how they carry themselves. Miya was the leader of the group, who rarely show any emotion. This made her Minato's favorite teaching wise. He had picked up Madara's method of teaching where he doesn't like to have his time used inappropriately, and he won't tolerate failure or distractions from those he's teaching.
Dealing with the latter four on a daily occurrence as well constantly having to stopped teaching to settle a dispute among them, or set an example to whoever happens to earn his ire for that day. This is why Minato considers Miya as his favorite.
Matsu was a pervert he learned that much and also she had no fighting capabilities whatsoever, however, she makes up for this flaw by having a large intelligence and IQ. She can hack into any electronics from using a simple laptop and she could think up a number of great strategies. While Miya and the others were the muscle of the squad, Matsu was the brains. Minato has no doubt she was solely responsible for the island's survival up until he woke up.
Kazehana was a flirt and when around him she would always tease him just to get a rise from him, and was a drinker, which explains the disappearances of several sake and red wine bottles missing from his cellar.
Karasuba loves to fight she had an irresistible bloodlust that never went away no matter how many times he spars with her. He did say he would see this through to the end, so there was running away or calling quits. Madara and his own mother Mito drilled that life lesson into his head with their training.
Lastly was Mutsu, the only male Sekirei awaken so far. Strangely he and Mutsu hit off quite well at the beginning. Mutsu wasn't the social type unless he was receiving orders from Miya. But this changed during the time he trained with them, like him Mutsu had the ability to create earthquakes and other earth type based attacks. Being compatible with each other through their similar element, Minato taught him several Doton justus that he could copy and use in his own way. From there the two became close friends, almost brothers. However, Minato was cautious about swearing a second otah of brotherhood with someone. So, he was careful around Mutsu only because it brought up repressed memories of Karuse's death and the bond they had as sworned brothers.
During his time on the island the world's army gave up on taking Kamikura island after the destruction Minato had cause them. Kamikura island was saved and that was all Minato cared about.
"Something the matter Minato-kun?" Being in his inner world Minato sat on his throne inside the medieval castle overlooking the lake. Opening his eyes he looked up to see Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi both with worried expressions marring their beautiful faces. Unlike Minato they both haven't age a single day and kept their stunningly beauty and youthful bodies he remembered them having upon their first meeting when he was eight.
He waves to Tsukuyomi encouraging her to come closer, not hesitating she approached him, only to "kya" in surprise from Minato wrappping his arms around her body, bringing her onto his lap, his lips covering her's in a sensual kiss. She moans at the passion his kiss held and tried to return the same passion to him as well. She voices her disappointment when he pulled away, he only chuckles and kiss her forehead.
The two look at one another before Minato turns to Amaterasu who was blushing fiercely with a large blush covering her face. Minato calls her over as well, and brought her on his other lap and copys what he did to Tsukuyomi leaving blushing Amaterasu with a beautiful smile on her lips.
"Forgive me, I was just thinking about some old memories. It's been a month since I woke up to this world where the world I grew up in is gone. No one that I know besides Zetsu and you two are gone, just memories taking up space in head and heart. I never knew how lonely one feels when he's left with nothing." He raised his head when he felt two set of lips on either cheek. Turning to face his two zanpakuto spirits he flinches when he saw fresh, warm tears cascading down their faces.
"You're wrong Minato-kun, you are not alone, you were never alone. We... Tsu-chan and me have been with you since you first awakened your zanpakuto and we will never you." She kisses his left cheek once more as she stare into onyx-black eyes with her golden-brown ones filled with love, respect, devotion, care, and sincerity towards him.
"Ama-chan is right, Minato-kun. You have us who have always been with you through the good and bad times, Zetsu has remain loyal to you, he even chose to follow you when he could have left. And you even have the Sekirei, although you have only know each other for a month but they do hold you close to their hearts, they see you as someone they respect and wish to know better." Tsukuyomi kissed his right cheek and buried her head into his muscular chest.
"You shouldn't wallow in the past, instead look to the future and create a new and bright one with those you cherish and will come to love later." Amaterasu said giving him a kiss on the lips followed by Tsukuyomi after she drew back to give him her own loving kiss from the heart..
Smiling, Minato kisses the two on the lips that took their breath away and kept them still from the shock of that kiss. Pulling back he looks at the two spirits that have remained by his side since he first started out as a shinobi.
"Thank you... both of you. I know I have strave away from my path many times in the past, and had you not been with me then I don't know where I'd find myself. And for that I'm extremely grateful to you both. Thank you." He smiled his first true smile since the death of his birth family and his family with Ayame, oh how they miss that wonderful smile of his.
The two women quickly crossed the distance between them and Minato's lips, they poured all of their love and affection for the man whose lap they were currently straddling and said man's hands were being quite adventuress groping their asses through their kimonos.
They continued their heavy make-out session for five full minutes when Minato sensed someone approaching his body from outside.
"I have to go now girls. Thank you for everything and remember that I love you you both."
"We love you too, Minato-kun!" Minato nods before he disappears completely from his inner world.

Miya wearing her black uniform and katana on her left hip was doing her weekly patrol around the island. After the first invasion Miya proposed that regular night patrols were to be mandatory to keep watch for enemy night raids or attacks. It had proven useful countless times in the past, but since Minato's arrival a month ago the world's army had seemly given up on trying to take Kamikura island and withdrew all their forces.
So, why is the most powerful Sekirei out walking in the middle of the night, you might be asking? Simple she was not. Miya's true purpose was to see Minato whom she had began to call sensei as he live up to his agreement of training them.
During the month he had trained her and the discipline squad Minato slowly began to trust them by telling them bits about his past that they couldn't find in books about him. He trained them individually helping them increase their strength, stamina, and powers. To be honest they were all surprised, Miya included at how much stronger they became in one month compared to the two weeks of fighting the army's massive force.
Minato help her (Miya) improve her swordsmanship by sparring with her regularly, she has yet to win a fair fight against him as when she's about to go all out, Minato sheathes his weapon saying if she fought like that she would destroy the island. To remedy this Minato using his mastery over fuinjutsu and created a alternate space where he and Miya can go all out with no worries of destroying the island, or someone getting caught in the middle of their spar.
When Karasuba found out about this, she and Miya nearly destroyed half of the pacific ocean when they went all out oblivious to the chaos they were causing. Minato punished them severely in their spars by reminding them only within the Inverse world, which is what he called the empty space he had created is when they may let loose.
During that time when Minato fought against her and Karasuba, Miya finally understood something crucial about how strong Minato truly was, this thought brought her back to the time when she first met Minato and how he destroyed the world's military that day.
That day Minato was holding back.
She had forced herself to believe that Minato's power was beyond greater than hers, there was no way to compare them because his power couldn't be measured in any normal standards.
She addressed Minato about this one day and her fears were realized. Minato said that he was indeed holding back that day. Miya was greatly confused by his answer as to how can one be so powerful even when he was not using his full power. She tried to understand through her spars with Minato hoping she could get an answer to this difficult question.
By herself she could only go so far, when Karasuba join in as usual, Miya against her better judgment requested that she and Karasuba team up. Of course Karasuba at first flat out refused but later acquiescence when she too was forced on the defensive by Minato. And even with their combined strength they still couldn't force Minato to show more of his power. He told the five of them that he measured his power level through several different methods. Releasing his sword, or activating his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan showed that he was starting to get serious.
Despite all their efforts they failed to get him to release his sword, however, Minato congratulate them instead of encourage them to try harder. He revealed that only his former sensei could force him to get serious. He then told them in truth that with more training they could one day force him to release his second gear which was his EMS.
During the time spent in the inverse world Miya began opening up to him to where she showed more emotion and behaved like a normal woman. Before their meeting Miya was cold and distant, the only people she interacted with were Minaka, Takami, and the discipline squad. Minato during the time she had spent with him had found his way into her heart. He taught her some of his sword based attacks knowing her main strength was the katana in her hands. A will of good faith between master and student.
As time progressed Miya slowly began to realize that she was falling for her sensei, Minato Senju. She thought about her feelings for weeks, believing that she was over thinking her feelings for Minato, however, this had the opposite effect because the more she thought about Minato and everything he had done for her, and her unborn Sekirei siblings. The heat in her chest became warmer and her face would always be covered in a healthy red blush.
After putting much thought into her feelings. There was no deny these foreign emotions and warm butterflies in her stomach anymore.
Minato Senju was her destined Ashikabi. She wanted to deny this as she was the first Sekirei, the Pillar Sekirei. She was not suppose to have an Ashikabi, and yet she was reacting to Minato. But she knew she was not the only one reacting to him.
Matsu, Kazehana, even Karasuba were reacting to him. Mustu was not, however, the two were already good friends with each other. So, for Mutsu to react to him also would be awkward. It didn't bother Miya in the slightest that she would be sharing Minato with the other women of discipline squad, she had trouble accepting Karasuba given the woman's violent nature but she would tolerate her for Minato's sake. Because even if it's only a spar he hated seeing them fight.
Nodding her head Miya quicken her pace confident about her decision. Even if she had to share Minato, no one but her would have the honor of being his first Sekirei.
xox
She walks to the entrance of the library where Minato lives, Minaka had offered him housing at the base but he decline his offer. Miya was about to enter the library when the wind pick up blowing her long tresses of purple hair behind her, she turns around and saw Minato lying down on his side by the shore looking up at the moon. On the red mat he was lying on was a bottle of sake and cups next to him.
"Out on patrol Miya?" He smiles at her one of his true smiles, Miya's cheeks grew an intense red from seeing such a warm smile on his handsome face. Minato had never smiled like this always careful with showing his emotions. It brought warmth to Miya's heart beating faster in chest, her cheeks red from blushing. She breathe slowly to calm her raging emotions, repeating the words "not yet" to herself in her head.
She walked over to him and sat down beside him on her knees, the two stared out at the ocean silence, admiring the soothing and calm waves coming in and the moon shining bright in the night sky. In the distance they can see the whirlpools protecting the island.
"Somethings troubling you." Minato said as a statement rather than a question. Miya grabs two fistfuls of her black skirt.
'How does he know me so well. I can't read what he's thinking but it's the opposite for him. I'm just an open book to him.'
"Sensei, may I ask you a personal question?" Miya berated herself with asking that question, why did she ask him that.
"It's okay." She turned to face him, confusion in her brown eyes, "I've known you five for a month, there should be no secrets between us. Ask away, Miya."
Miya calmed herself down breathing slowly to gather her nerves, even though she had Minato's blessing she still feared his reaction as well as his answer. "What kind of person was wife like?"
Minato's expression immediately turned vulnerable, his smile became a frown and his eyes were distraught. Seeing the change in his smile Miya immediately tried to apologize for mistake.
"Sensei, I'm so sorry I didn't mean-."
"No, it's alright... I'm fine. My past is behind me, I should not wallow in depair. But may I ask why you are asking such a personal question." That smile again, Miya lost all sense of her speech just from seeing his smile return on his face.
"I-I-I mean, I just-."
"Is this because of what I said before, that you remind me of her?" Seeing Miya not meet his gaze proved he was on the right track. Running his free hand through his spiky black hair he looked up at the moon.
"Hmm, to start your power reminds me much of her. Your aura at first while it seemed cold on the outside, but on inside I sensed your true self. You're kind and gentle, you care for the other Sekirei and you're always worried for their safely. Ayame Uchiha, my wife was the same. Whenever she was on the battlefield she showed her true power, she made her presence known to us and her enemies to be felt no matter where they were. No matter who she faced in battle whether friend, or enemy she refused to cause them harm and even tended to their wounds, no matter what side they fought on. Her heart was the purest I had ever known. But when provoke she would bring down the very heavens to strike down those who captured her hatred and ire. Ayame may have not been as strong as Karuse was she still contributed herself as a strong kunochi, and loving mother to our two sons. And a strong woman and loyal friend I was proud to call my wife."
Miya was dead silent she had nothing to say after hearing Minato describe his wife Ayame with much passion and heart behind his every word. She felt jealous at this woman, his wife, which was strange since she was dead. But for Minato, her Ashikabi to talk about this woman so fondly made her heart clench in jealously.
"Miya."
Hearing Minato say her name she snapped out of her trance to see him staring back at her. "You okay?" Expressing his conerns for her caused Miya's already beating heart to beat faster. Her breathing and blush increased under Minato's concerned gaze.
"I-I'm fine sensei just cold is all." She was having second thoughts, she couldn't tell Minato after hearing about his late wife and his genuine concerns for her, she lost all of her previous courage. She just wanted to leave to calm herself down and try again tomorrow. She didn't want Minato to see her like this, A peerless woman that held no fear even in the face of a massive armada was acting like a shy teenage girl on her first date with her long time crush.
She move to stand up and excuse herself but a gloved hand grabbed a hold of her wrist. Turning back around she saw Minato had grabbed her wrist, she then gasps in surprise as Minato brought her down to sit on his lap. He was no longer lying down and was sitting upright with Miya sitting in his lap with her legs resting behind him. Her face grew another deeper shade of red at how close their faces are to each other. She turns away not meeting his gaze, he only chuckles at her timid display and says knowingly with a smile.
"Miya, are you reacting to me?"
Miya immediately ceased her struggling to face Minato with widened eyes. Tears began to form under her eyes mixed with her red blush Minato wanted to say was cute but feared Miya will go into another phase from his compliment. With a calm smile showing his honest feelings to her, he repeated again.
"Sekirei #01, Miya. I'm your Ashikabi aren't I?" Miya didn't say anything right away but she nods her head in approval. Thirty seconds later and she turned to meet his stare. Her expression was timid, fearful, anxious, and disbelief.
"H-How do you know?" Minato tightens his hold around her waist. He chuckles under his breath with his visible lone eye closed, it opened again to show a hardened stare.
"I first began seeing the signs two weeks ago after our spar with you and Karasuba, I saw how your expression changed and how your eyes avoided my for a second before you returned back to your usual demeanor. I asked Takami about it, she became scared that I may have gotten a reaction from you two. I then talk to Minaka about it, and oh how I wish I hadn't. But he said the same thing."
Minato paused to collects his breath.
"I kept an eye on you from there on and slowly saw how your expressions changed when around me, how you would grow shy and flustered whenever we were alone, you hid it better when around the others but I could still see it. And not just with you Miya I found similar reactions in Matsu, Kazehana, and Karasuba also. I began seeing the same responses from them whenever I was near, or around you four. I thought about confronting you all about this but I saw that you were all trying to understand these feelings for me so I stayed quiet and allow you to find the answers on your own."
Minato stared down to see Miya looking back up at him in silence, her facial expression had not change except she was now smiling, while tears continued to fall from her beautiful brown eyes. He wiped away her tears with his thumb he turned to stare deeply into those exotic eyes of hers that he had grown fond of seeing
"Miya, would you like to be my Sekirei? I won't force you to do something that you don't want. But if you want me then I won't refuse." Miya saw the warmth and compassion in his eyes, it literally took her breath away being stared at by those powerful eyes of her Ashikabi.
She nods her head unable to form any speech, Minato smiles as he leaned in. Miya's closed her eyes and leaned in as well. 'Minato...' She said with their lips meeting in sych, she felt her wings grow from behind her neck but that didn't matter right now. What mattered to Miya was being with her Ashikabi who she loves with all her heart, and finally receiving her wings from her destined one.
She moans in ecstasy at the power she was receiving from Minato, this power... it was unfathomable, compared to her own she didn't hold a candle to his overwhelming power. It terrified Miya that she would never reach this heights and stand next to him at the mountain top beside him.
Ten pillars of purple light grew from behind Miya's neck, they then became glorious wings of light, they form into rows of sharpen blades, sharp to the touch but warm and comforting, wrapping the two lovers in a warm embrace before retreating back behind her new Sekirei Mark.
They pulled back staring into each others eyes with love and little lust hiding behind their pupils. Miya bowed her head and said. "Sekirei #01, Miya. May my sword protect my Ashikabi from all that would bring him harm." She uttered in a trance like a soldier addressing his sergeant. Minato smiled before bringing her into another lip-lock. Her wings shining brightly against the night sky.
xox
"I was told by Takami that when an Ashikabi wings a Sekirei it's essentially a marriage proposal. So that means we're married now right?"
"You mad?" Miya felt disappointed in herself for forcing herself on Minato, sure he had accepted her wholeheartly, but she still felt like she destroyed the memory of his wife Ayame with her winging.
Minato turns around he brought Miya in an one arm embrace and kissed her, she quickly fell into the kiss and returned it with fervor. He pulls back hearing a soft mew of disappointment from Miya, he chuckles at this finding it cute hearing the strongest Sekirei mewing like a kitten wanting attention from her master. He brought Miya's face close by lifting up her chin having her brown eyes looking into his onyx ones
"Not at all. I made my peace long ago and I shouldn't stay in the past mouring their deaths as they wouldn't what me to throw my happiness away. Believe me when I say that I'm happy with this, with us." He smiles a true smile holding her right hand with his, their fingers laced together in intimacy.
They walked through the main entrance of the library together hand and hand. Letting go Minato walks over to the wine cellar to grab a bottle to celebrate their union. While Miya walks towards the center of the room when a loud crash was heard close by.
"Ouch,"
Miya looked to her left seeing Matsu on the ground her glasses laying in front of her, and various books littering the floor. Miya approached to help her Sekirei sister up.
"Owie, I knew that shelf was to high to reach for me." She patted the ground looking for her glasses that had fallen off her face with her fall. Soon her vision return to her with someone putting her glasses over her eyes for her, and the first thing she saw was Miya's smiling face.
"Miya-tan! What are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same thing Matsu."
"Hehe, I just came to borrow some books, and I couldn't reach the top shelf up there so I fell." She laughed nervously having embarrassed herself in front of her leader. Sheepishly massaging the back of her head when the two Sekireis overheard deep chuckling behind them.
"There are ladders around the library for that reason, Matsu. I suggest you use them to avoid falling next time." The two Sekirei turned around to see Minato holding a bottle of red wine with two wine glasses in his other hand.
"Mina-tan!" Matsu stood up and threw herself at Minato but she was stopped mid-flight from something grabbing her. She looks down at the gray skeleton hand of Minato's Susano'o holding her by her waist, Minato had his eyes closed having used his Susano'o to stop the pervert in her tracks.
"Hello to you to Matsu." Putting Matsu down to stand on her two feet Minato creates a wooden table beside him and puts down the bottle of wine and wine glasses he was holding.
Her cheeks immediately turn red with how close he was to her. Her breathing rapidly sped up, her heart beating loudly behind her chest. Looking into Minato's onyx-black eyes she saw reassuring warmth and love all together with his dashing smile she loved seeing from him.
Minato saw Matsu's heated face and her breathing was erratic knowing she was reacting to him. Sparing Miya a quick glance behind the red haired Sekirei, she giggles and nodded her head giving her approval to wing Matsu.
He looks back at Matsu seeing she was not paying him any attention, probably lost in one of her fantasy.
"Matsu..." Hearing her name being called Matsu looked back up at Minato, letting out a gasp seeing his handsome face just inches away from her own. "I love you too." She gasps again which Minato took advantage of with kissing her on the lips giving Matsu her wings.
Orange lights forming pillars then transforming into beautiful wings of the same color, the light from her wings shined bright bathing the library in an orange hue. Her wings then retracted back to her crest behind her neck with the two pulling back.
"Sekirei #02, Matsu. Wisdom of my pledge, bestow the teachings of the world, to my Ashikabi." Minato kisses her softly on the lips hearing her approval in the form of a moan. They pull back staring into each others eyes, Minato looks up seeing his first Sekirei walking up to him and Matsu.
"Welcome to the family, Matsu." Miya greeted her Sekirei sister and new sister-wife with a loving smile on her lips
Minato smiles at their embrace as the two Sekirei were happily telling each other of their different experience of receiving their wings from their destined Ashikabi.
"Ah, this feeling in the air, The power of love, it must be love!" Minato chuckles softly hearing Kazehana's arrival with her normal talks of love. Turning around he found Kazahana sitting on top of a nearby shelf, a breeze of wind blowing against her midnight hair with a tint of purple . She jumps down from the shelf landing only a few feet from Minato.
"Minato-kun~. Why was I not told that you were having a party, and not invite me? Have you grown tired of me already." She said with a pout, fake tears in her eyes with the turn of her head. Soft sniffles escaping from her to sell her "hurt" demeanor
"Now why would I ever grow tired of you Kazehana? You have a wonderful personality and a beautiful smile, not to mention a great body but that's my own opinion. I could never grow tired of you, Kazehana." Minato's said speaking the truth about the wind mistress. Kazahana was the only one among the group who always had a smile on her face, she was always optimistic not letting anything put her down, and as a bonus she resembles his cousin Tsunade when he last saw her.
Her love for alcohol, a curvaceous body that would make any man lust after. Just throw in her horrible gambling and lost strreak and you'd have a modern day Tsunade Senju.
Kazehana was appalled at the nice things Minato said about her, She always was teasing him hoping to see him embarrass, or the very least flustered with a blush on his face. But the tables had been turn with him beating her at her own game with his confession.
She blushes feeling her heart thumping loudly in her chest she brings a hand up to her left breast. Feeling the heavy beating of her heart going through her hand. She looked up at Minato, his smile made her knees weak, she vaguely remembered the month that she spent with Minato whether through training or just talking with him on their down time.
He had done so much for them when she thought about the many changes he was solely responsible for. Miya, he helped her show more emotion than she normally would show, assisting with the defenses of Kamikura island, and lately he would spend hours when he wasn't training he would collect chakra from nature itself and with Minaka's approval he gave that chakra he gathered and gave it to her siblings yet to be born to help in their growth and health.
He had done so much for the Sekireis and never ask for anything in return, always saying how he had done the same for his brother and sister. Minato was in a sense their savior having done so much for them, the Sekirei race.
Walking up to Minato, resolution and conviction in her gaze.
She approaches Minato with confidence in every step, a loving smile plastered on her lips, her eyes held love, devotion, and little lust for the caring adult man standing a few feet from her.
"Minato-kun~. Would you have the honor of making me, Sekirei #03, Kazahana your Sekirei. Accept my love, my wonderful and loving Ashikabi." Kazahana confessed her heart to Minato. A tear of insecurity falling down her cheek from her left eye.
Miya and Matsu stood behind Minato, having seen the tell-tale sights of a reaction from Kazehana in the past weeks before tonight. They smiled knowingly of what comes next.
Minato saw the truth in her eyes, the eternal love Kazehana held for him, the worshipping of him and the intense want for him to accept her as his Sekirei. He would be a fool not to accept her even after a confession like hers.
Placing a hand on Kazehana's right cheek she immediately drew closer to his hand rubbing herself against it, enjoying his warmth.
"The honor is all mine, and of course my wind flower." His lips crashed against hers in a explosion of passion, Kazehana's wings shined brightly behind her, pillars of purple light that soon became wings. Small gust of wind blew behind Kazehana's wings and cherry blossom petals hovered around the new couple like they were dancing.
They pulled back with their foreheads touching, their breathing calming down after their heated make-out session. "Sekirei #03, Kazahana. May the winds blow away my Ashikabi's perils."
The two embraced each other one last time then walked back to Miya and Matsu, who began welcoming Kazehana to the family with friendly smiles on their faces
xox
An hour later Minato and his three newly winged Sekireis were walking back to headquarters, the four had spend the time celebrating their union with a small party inside the library.
Miya, Matsu, and Kazehana were interested to know more about Minato from himself, personally. Yes they had readed many books that had him in them but books could only tell you so much. After having their fun Minato noticed it was getting late, sadly while Miya and the others would like nothing more than to sleep next to their new Ashikabi, to share the bed with the one they love. They still had a job working for Minaka as protectors. Minato understood this and offered to walk them back. Kazehana with a seductive smile, lust burining in her eyes approached her new Ashikabi, wrapping her arms around his neck and says.
"Ara~ Ara, Minato-kun~. Are you hoping to get lucky by escorting us lovely women home."
Kazehana wanted nothing more than to see her Ashikabi's blushing face, speaking incoherently, trying to save himself by saying that's not the case. But her plan backfired on her when his hand found itself on her lower back just a few feet away from her luscious and voluptuous ass.
She looks into Minato smoldering eyes filled with passion and equal lust to her own, "As tempting as that sounds, and don't get me wrong that I wouldn't mind indulging in such activities with you three." His Sekirei blushed beet red at the thought of already sleeping with their Ashikabi sexually after only an hour after receiving their wings. "However, it's too soon and I wish to get to know you girls more before we take our relationship to that next level."
While the girls were disappointed, they understood their Ashikabi's reasoning and they smiled that he wanted to know more about them which brought joy to their hearts.
They continued walking down the beach seeing headquarters in the distance just a few yards away. However, Minato's instincts suddenly screamed at him to dodge, the same instincts that had saved his life countless times in the past.
He channels chakra into his left hand and jumped in front of Miya and caught hold of a blade that would have cut Miya down had Minato not taken the blow for her. Miya already had her hand on the hilt of her katana revealing the steel of the blade having heard her instincts warn her about the danger to her person. But she and her Sekirei sisters held surprised expressions upon witnessing Minato catching Karasuba's nodachi with his bare hand.
"Minato / Mina-tan / Minato-kun!" His Sekirei yelled to their love in worry to him catching the sharp edge of the weapon, they knew nothing could harm Minato like him grabbing a hold of a bladed weapon, but they will always be worried for his safety regardless of how powerful he is.
"Nice reflexes. You always leave me impressed, Minato-kun." Karasuba said revealing herself to the group holding her nodachi with a sadistic grin and bloodlust eyes staring into Minato's narrowed ones.
"You as well, Karasuba." He lets go of her nodachi and kicked her in the stomach forcing her back. "Already up? I see your wounds healed faster from our last spar. Girls, stay out this. I'll deal with Karasuba."
"You're too kind Minato-kun are you sure you won't need their help in fighting me?"
'I see you haven't lost your fighting spirit...' He commented taking a taijutsu stance looking into Karasuba's eyes.
Although Minato was only wearing a black Kimono he wore during relaxing periods with no armor, he always made sure to keep a few throwing knives and kunai knives on his person for ambushes against him. He was a cautious person after all. Never hurts to be thorough.
He pulls three throwing knives out from his sleeves in quick succession, he threw them at Karasuba with precision aiming to disarm her. Karasuba easily deflected the knives with her sword.
Changing his attack Minato brought his hands together he channeled his chakra into the earth, and large roots and branches of wood rose up attacking Karasuba, who kept her calm and slashed away at the roots.
He saw her back was turned to him so Minato quickly unsheathes his zanpakuto but doesn't release its Shikai, Karasuba having sensed Minato due to his training turns on her heels and block his katana with her own.
They stare into each others eyes Minato with his impassive onyx eyes, and Karasuba's silver eyes that held enjoyment and a bit of craziness mixed together. Some would argue that she was enjoying this a tad too much, but Minato didn't judge someone on their preoccupations. So he decided to make this more enjoyable for her.
He pushes her back causing their weapons to scrape against each other, sparks flew off the steel of the blades. The two sword masters jumped back then towards each other clashing once again.
The two fought each other equally, slashing and parrying each others blows, their fighting quickly turning into a dance of sparks and death as they gradually pick up speed in their swordplay. Both trying to disarm the other with attacks to their arms and legs.
However, Minato noticed the longer they fought the slower and sluggish Karasuba's swings were becoming, 'So her injuries have yet to fully heal.' He respected her determination but Minato had seen many ninjas in the past who had the same determination to not give up and they ended up dead on some random battlefield. Minato didn't see Karasuba dying the same way he would prevent her from dying a selfish death.
They continued their fighting away from the others, Miya having been watching the fight with a keen eye saw that Karasuba was losing speed. She knew that her injuries have yet to fully heal and she was still fighting Minato despite this. As much as Miya dislike the Black Sekirei, she was still her younger sister and she couldn't entirely hate Karasuba no matter what she becomes.
Karasuba went for an overhead slash aiming to decapitate his head but Minato ducks under her sword, her abdomen was wide open for an attack, but Minato didn't wish to win when Karasuba was not at her best, she was still recovering from their previous spar after all.
Instead he kicks her in the stomach forcing her back, she stumble backwards bringing a hand to her stomach. Minato got between her defenses surprising her, he delivers an upward slash with his katana disarming Karasuba, who caught off guard fails to react when Minato then grabs her neck and slams her down to the ground hard.
Before the Black Sekirei could free herself, a blade found itself at her neck, she looked up and for a moment saw a change in Minato's hardened eyes. For a second they were not the eyes that held warmth, concern, and passion. For just a brief moment they were cold and full of wanton lust for battle, his lips were stuck in a thin line and his expression was unreadable.
This was the side of Minato who successfully survive three major wars, the side that showed that he had no problem taking a live and accepting the consequence, this was the side of Minato, Karasuba wanted to see from him for so long. To force him to fight her seriously and she succeeded in doing just that.
"I win." Even his voice was cold as ice, it matched him perfectly. Karasuba suddenly got excited being man-handled by Minato, she didn't care that she lost again, or that she currently has a headache from being slam into the ground. She care for none of that.
All she care for right now was the man whom she was reacting too, showing his dark side to her for her eyes only.
She snaked her arms around his neck locking them in an embrace, "Yes, you have, my darling Ashikabi." She brought her body up and kissed Minato on the lips moaning at the power she was receiving from him. If this what it felt like being wing by him then she should have done so weeks ago.
Ten pillars of black energy were release from the back of her neck as her Sekirei mark appeared, her wings like Miya were as sharp as razors and jet black of the darkest nights. They pulled back Minato with a small smile on his lips, while Karasuba was in complete bliss, her eyes closed and a seductive smile on her face. If Minato had to guess she probably got off from receiving her wings.
She opened her eyes staring back into Minato's half-lidded ones, he saw she had a serene smile rather than her crazed one. She looked absolutely heavenly right now, and cute too but he held back on saying that to her for now.
"Sekirei #04, Karasuba, May my sword spill the blood of my Ashikabi's enemies. I'm yours now and forever, Mina-kun." For a second Minato believed he heard Karasuba's voice crack to a shy teenager confessing to her long time crush but Karasuba said it so quietly that he did not hear it properly.
He just shook his head no reason to dive further into this he said. He embraced his newest and hopefully last sekirei for a while, four wingings on the same night within the time span of two hours. Maybe another bottle of wine, or something stronger to help ease his mind.
"I'm glad to hear that." He whispers with Karasuba flashing that serene smile of hers and burys her face into the crook of his neck. He closes his eyes as well and enjoys the closeness with his newest Sekirei. Miya, Matsu, and Kazehana quietly approach the two lying on their backs in the sand. They say nothing but crouch down and surround Minato in their bodies and body heat.
