Tsukuyomi, Dynamis, Jack Rakan, and Evangeline are all characters taken from Negima. Dynamis was one of Fate Averuncus' allies in the battle against Negi. He was basically the battle commander if I'm not mistaken.
Chapter 45: Returning Home
Minato was laid back in his bed, his head resting on a pair of down-filled pillows, as he stared up at the ceiling of his bedroom. The only light in his room came from the LED bulbs in the ceiling. His room had no windows on account being almost a hundred feet underground. The lights never turned off, but when he laid down to rest they did dim to the point where he barely noticed them.
A soft murmur in his ear drew his attention to the woman in his arms. He turned his head and smiled at Kaho's sleeping face, her head resting beside his own. There was a gentle smile on her face. Her arms were wrapped tightly around him, pressing her breasts firmly into his chest.
Minato trailed his hand down her naked back, neither of them wearing anything, to her rear end. His fingers danced across her skin before making their way between her legs. It was still wet and sticky down there from their love making the night before.
He didn't want to get her with child but Kaho had been most insistent that he didn't pull out. She seemed to want to make up for lost time, especially since her Ashikabi actually had the courage to show some intimacy.
Well he would deal with what would come of that in the future. For now there were more important things to worry about such as Orochimaru's Sekirei, Darui. Matsu had been working almost day and night trying to gather as much information as she could on him.
Kaho's eyes fluttered open as Minato's fingers continued to explore between her legs, "Mmm, good morning Minato-kun," Kaho murmured quietly and nuzzled her face into the crook his neck.
"Good morning Kaho-chan," Minato whispered back and slipped his fingers inside her.
"Myrm, don't… you're letting it all out," Kaho complained, but made no movement to stop him.
"I can, ah, always put more back in?" Minato said hesitantly.
"Minatan!" Matsu shouted as she burst into the room, throwing the door wide open.
Minato and Kaho both jumped in surprise at the sudden intrusion.
"What is it? Are we under attack?" Minato asked as he sat up abruptly. The covers were thrown to the side as he jerked his fingers from inside Kaho and held his hands at the ready. The naginato wielding Sekirei let out a short yelp as she was abruptly jerked into a sitting position due to Minato's sudden movement. Her arms were still wrapped around him, not wanting to let go.
"No! Matsu-san has found the Sekirei, Darui and… your mother," Matsu said.
"Okaa-san?" Minato asked in confusion. Suddenly his eyes widened like he was hit by a lightning bolt, "she's still alive?" he asked hurriedly, his voice filled with hope.
"Yes! Darui took her alive under orders from Orochimaru. He plans to turn her into a Sekirei, one completely bound and enslaved under him," Matsu said as her fingers danced across the laptop in her arms.
It had been a miracle that she had found this information, it was buried deep within the MBI databases and she had almost missed it while searching for information on Darui.
But she found it, information on Sahashi Takami.
Her Ashikabi's mother was being held deep beneath MBI HQ in a maximum security prison vault. No one got in or out with Orochimaru's express permission, every soldier, every guard, every worker in that part of the compound was undyingly loyal to Orochimaru. It was also there that she had found out what Minaka intended to do with Takami. There had only been one other person in that vault before Takami, a one Dan Hibiki. He had been taken from this world, subverted, and transformed into a Sekirei to do Orochimaru's bidding.
And now Takami was in the same place about to undergo the same treatment.
"We need to rescue her!" Minato said in a panic, the thought of his mother becoming enslaved to another frightened and disgusted him at the same time.
"Wait, Sahashi-san," Homura said as she entered the room behind Matsu, "we don't know if it's a trap or not."
"I don't care! I'm done hiding in this bunker, we need to rescue okaa-san!" The only reason they were still here was because there was no point in leaving until they figured out where Darui was.
"Matsu-san agrees Minatan, however we can't just run in there without a plan," Matsu said as she flipped on the light switch.
"Onii-chan! What's this about Okaa-san?" Yukari asked as she suddenly burst into the room, rushing to her brother's bed. She stopped short however when she saw the state of his undress. A perverted look crossed her face, "Uh fu fu fu fu," Yukari giggled as she stared at between Minato's legs.
Kaho stared Yukari in the eye. With slow, deliberate movements she reached down to grasp Minato. She placed him against her entrance and slowly slid down the shaft, "I am his sheath," Kaho stated firmly.
Grinding noise started to come from Yukari as she gnashed her teeth together. She gave Kaho an evil glare, "You dare try to take onii-chan from me?!" Her hands were out in front of her making groping motions. She looked as if she was about to launch herself at Kaho.
"Fufufufu, this is like a soap opera! A new rival has appeared!" Matsu said perversely.
"Wait, Yukari-chan, we're brother and sister!" Minato protested, he had no doubt in his mind what Yukari was upset about.
"That didn't stop my friends! Plus I read it all the time in manga!"
A sweat drop rolled down the back of Minato's head at that. Just because her friends did it, didn't mean it was legal or right, although Minato was finally beginning to understand just why Yukari was so messed up.
"Please don't leave me alone with her," Minato whispered to Kaho. The logical and rational part of his mind definitely didn't want to do anything with Yukari, but he was half afraid if his sister caught him alone he wouldn't be able to resist.
"Of course not, Minato-san!" Kaho said, she had no intention of losing to Yukari.
"Ahem!" Homura coughed loudly, "enough about that, we need to figure out what to do about Takami-san."
"Ah! Right!" Yukari said as she suddenly snapped out of her perverted mode, "What's going on with Okaa-san?"
"Takami-san is held captive beneath MBI," Matsu said as she took her glasses off and put them in her pocket, "however Minato-san, you can't just rush in there. The Sekirei Darui is certain to be there, and he almost single-handedly beat all of us."
"But we have Kaho-chan now! Plus he caught us off guard, we had no time to prepare," Minato argued back.
"Yes Minato-san, however how do we know Darui is the only Sekirei at MBI?" Matsu asked with a raised eyebrow, "Matsu-san has found some information that there are never less than three Sekirei protecting MBI at any given time. Assuming they're all on the same level as Darui can we win as we are?"
Minato glared at himself as he let out a growl of frustration. He hated feeling this powerless but as much as he wanted to deny it, Matsu had a point. If there was even one more Sekirei there they would run into a lot of trouble, especially with the standard military forces MBI had at their disposal.
"We can't just do nothing! We have to rescue okaa-san," Minato said as he lifted his head, his eyes filled with fierce determination.
"What about this Naruto-san?" Yukari asked curiously as she tilted her head, "He rescued me and he restored Kaho-san," she pointed out.
"I don't want to ask him for anything else," Minato said as he shook his head. Naruto had already done so much for him. In addition to what Yukari mentioned he had also helped him, indirectly, find a place to live after he was thrown out, rescued him from Ayesha's control, and given him information that helped lead him to finding his mother and her kidnapper.
Asking any more from him wouldn't be fair.
"Matsu-san thinks we should talk to Naruto-san, he would make a good resource to use," Matsu argued, capturing her Ashikabi's gaze with her own, "from the reports Matsu-san found he's already in an all-out war against Orochimaru. He and his Sekirei have already taken out six of his twelve and Matsu-san has heard rumors that he's working with the military on some big offensive strike against MBI."
She had been able to pick that much up from the communications coming in and out of MBI. They didn't know what, where or when but they knew that an assault was coming in the near future. As a result MBI was frantically fortifying its position near, around and inside MBI.
Even the encirclement of Shinto Teito had been lifted and those forces had been withdrawn back to protect MBI. The encirclement wasn't really needed anyways as the Sekirei Plan, for all intents and purposes, had been replaced with war between Naruto's forces and Orochimaru's.
"You want to work with the man that dropped a meteor on Japan?!" Seo asked incredulously as he stopped inside the doorway and leaned against the frame. He had heard the conversation from the other room and had planned to stay out of it but hearing Naruto's name brought up brought back memories, bad ones, "I swear to Kami that man is insane!" Nevermind that his wife had almost cut his throat the first time they had met. They were both incredibly unstable people.
"I'm sure he had a reason for it," Minato said with a small laugh and brushed it off.
"WHAT REASON!?"
"No one died, Seo-san," Matsu said as she gave him an even look, "Despite a cataclysmic meteor hitting our planet, no one was killed, few were even injured. Naruto-san had everything well in hand. It may have looked insane, but it was well thought out and calculated. Perhaps that was even the purpose behind it, to make him 'seem' insane. Matsu-san saw you practically throw your Jinki at him. The other Ashikabi didn't hesitate to hand over his either."
"He's still fucking nuts," Seo muttered as he scratched the top of his head.
"If… if Naruto-san is going to attack MBI, maybe we can attack at the same time?" Minato said quietly as he thought about a course of action.
"Matsu was thinking the same thing Minato-san," Matsu said as she returned her attention to her Ashikabi, "From Naruto-san's movements he's planning something big, and soon. If Minato-san can join in on whatever he's doing we can rescue Takami-san with minimal difficulty."
"Then we should find Naruto-san as soon as possible," Minato said eagerly.
"Che, don't expect any help from me, the further away I am from that crazy bastard the better," Seo muttered.
Matsu jerked slightly. Her mouth opened as if to speak but nothing came out. She turned to face Seo once again, her gaze forcing the man to a sudden step back. The look in her eyes was strange, almost overwhelming, "Orochimaru killed Takehito," Matsu said softly, almost too softly.
"What?" Seo started in surprise
A flicker of multi-color light flashed across Matsu's eyes, "Orochimaru killed Takehito, the Jinki did not go out of control, it was doing exactly what Orochimaru wanted it to do. Orochimaru had the ability to tune it himself so that it didn't harm anyone, he simply choose not to do that. He instead tricked Takehito into returning to MBI to do the tuning for him."
"I…"
"If you care, even the slightest, for your old friend, you will help Minato and Naruto, for if they fall, there will many others that end as he did, including yourself and your Sekirei," Matsu bowed her head and fell silent.
Seo ground his teeth as he gave Matsu a hard look. That was a low blow, something he never thought Matsu would resort to. Never mind how she knew all of that, the fact that she would question his friendship with Takehito was insulting.
"Matsu-san?" Minato asked with a hint of concern in his voice.
Matsu shook her head and looked around curiously, blinking her eyes as if she had just awoken from a deep sleep, "Why is everyone looking at Matsu like that?"
"Do you not remember what you just said?" Minato asked as he eyed his Sekirei worriedly.
"Matsu-san said Minato-san could rescue Takami-san with minimal difficulty…" Matsu said as she looked at everyone with confusion in her eyes.
"Matsu-san was saying that Orochimaru-baka killed Takehito-san," Yukari said.
Matsu's brow furrowed in concentration, "Matsu doesn't remember saying that," she said with a frown.
"Che, whatever, fine, I'll help, this shit is getting too weird for me," Seo said as he shook his head. He turned and headed back into the main living room.
"Thanks Seo-san," Minato called after him.
"Whatever," came his response from the other room.
"When does Minato-san want to meet with Naruto-san?" Matsu asked.
"Can you find him now? I'd like to talk to him today." The sooner he could figure out what Naruto was doing, the sooner they could finalize their plans to rescue their mother.
"Leave it to me Minatan!" Matsu said cheerfully. Her gaze shifted down to between his legs, "does Minatan want some extra time to finish up with Kaho-san?"
"Yes," Kaho replied before Minato could say anything.
"NO! Onii-chan is mine!" Yukari shouted as she launched herself through the air.
Homura caught her in midair before she even made it half way, "don't be too long, Sahashi-san," Homura said as she carried Yukari towards the door, "I'm not sure how long I can keep her out-OW!" she shouted as Yukari bit her arm.
"Ah hah, sorry Homura-san," Minato apologized.
"Lemme go!" Yukari snarled as she squirmed in Homura's iron grip, "I won't let her steal onii-chan from me! Shiina-san! Help me!"
Shiina wisely decided to stay out of the entire situation by hiding inside his and Yukari's room.
"Fu fu fu fu, this is so exciting!" Matsu giggled as she trailed behind Homura.
Minato let out a sigh of relief once the door closed and the sound of the lock clicked into place. The rooms were sound proofed so it blocked out his sister's protests. There was another reason he didn't want to do anything with his sister sexually.
His mother.
He was certain his mother would tear strips from his hide if he knocked up Yukari, even if she was the one that jumped him. If he wanted a life expectancy that extended out beyond twenty years of age he couldn't let himself fall before Yukari.
However there was one thing that tickled his curiosity. Turning his head to look Kaho in the eyes he gave her an inquisitive look, "finish up?" he asked.
"You said you would put more back in," Kaho pointed out, referring to their earlier conversation.
"Oh…" Minato trailed off. He hadn't exactly been serious, at least he hadn't meant he would put more in this morning.
Apparently his Sekirei had other ideas. Ideas he quickly came to agree with as she began to move her hips.

"There seems to be an awful lot of activity here," Miya mused as she looked out onto the base from the window. The window was one of many on the top floor of the communications tower near the center of the base. It gave a perfect three-hundred and sixty degree view of everything. True to Miya's observation there was almost as much activity on the base as there had been during the base attack.
There were also about four dozen warships just off the coast: Two carriers, one helicopter, the JDS Izumo, and a supercarrier, along with their escort vessels. There were also a large number of troop carriers to transport men and vehicles.
Miya's sharp eyes peered into the distance and noticed about a half dozen missile submarines submerged further out.
The window was one of many that looked out from the center of operations for the base. This room, just one floor down from the top level, was reserved almost entirely for meetings between top military officials. There was a large central table outfitted with computers, monitors, and phones for quick and easy access to information.
Around the large central table was the base commander, General Olivier, along with her top officers like Colonel Mustang and Major Armstrong. Yume was also there with them, although she didn't wasn't there to offer any input. The two of them were included in the discussions so that they could relay the information back to Naruto.
"We're moving out," Olivier answered Miya's as she came up beside the powerful Sekirei. She looked out onto the base and couldn't help but let a small smile of approval, she liked to see her men moving with purpose. "The support from our allied nations arrived this morning. Every soldier is preparing to move out. This will be our only opening to bring 'Emperor' Minaka down, there's no holding forces in reserve for this fight."
It was only one of several fleets that were assembling across Japan. With the recent surrender of General Yoshitsune and the rest of the JSDF that were loyal to Minaka, the emperor wasn't left with anything aside from his Sekirei and the MBI security forces.
Of course one security forces personnel was more than equal to any ten of their own troops due to their advanced weaponry and when one added his Sekirei, even with their reduced numbers, to the equation it was still a hopeless battle.
However Naruto and his Sekirei were going to take care of the rest of the Sekirei while they dealt with the standard MBI forces.
"I see," Miya said as she continued to stare out the window.
"We'll take care of the rest of Minaka's Sekirei," Yume said as she glanced over at the two. The fact that Minaka was actually an ancient shinobi that went by the name of Orochimaru was a secret held tightly by Naruto. Of the people gathered in the room only Yume and Miya knew of his true identity and neither of them were going to tell the others. "I won't let Minaka obstruct love anymore!"
Olivier winced at the word 'love.' Yume was powerful and a valuable asset, Olivier would never deny that. She was also a strong woman, unwavering in her ideals and worth any number of men.
However the 'Crusade of Love,' as Olivier dubbed it, she had been on ever since she had arrived was causing a headache of a different sort.
"I'm not sure how I feel about a man whose willing to let his women fight his battles for him," one of the Colonels gathered around the table muttered.
"You haven't met their Ashikabi have you?" Colonel Mustang asked with a little smirk on his face. He knew, and he'd rather fight a Sekirei naked than him.
"I've met some of these 'Ashikabi' before and I've yet to find one that's particularly impressive."
"Enough! I won't hear any more slander about our ally," Olivier cut in harshly, ending the conversation on the spot. Even though she knew just how powerful Naruto was, it didn't matter to her. Anyone willing to stand up against Minaka in any form deserved to be treated with respect.
"Who is your Ashikabi?" Vice Admiral Stevenson, the overall commander of the foreign forces, asked.
Miya glanced over at the admiral and closed her eyes, "Oh, I'm sure he'll be here shortly," she responded as she covered her mouth with her hand and let out a small smile. It was the same response she had replied with the last four times she had been asked.
The vice admiral shook his head slightly and let out a small harrumph, "Evasive as always I see."
They had been trying to figure out who Miya and Yume's Ashikabi was ever since they arrived. Olivier had kept quiet and had ordered her officers to do the same. The less the foreign powers knew about the Sekirei, and who was involved with them, the better it was. They were going to ultimately end up being Japan's trump card in the future and they weren't about to go revealing too much information about them, even to their allies.
It was inevitable that some information was going to get out, indeed much probably already had, but no need to make things easier for them.
"Will your fleet be ready to move by tonight?" Olivier asked Stevenson as she brought the conversation back on track. She turned from the window and headed back to the table they were gathered around.
"We will be ready, your troops are quite orderly, and very motivated after their recent victory. We will be resupplied and ready to move at seventeen hundred hours," the Vice Admiral said.
"Good, we can't afford to delay any longer," Olivier said, "We need to be within striking distance in three days." That was a lie, they only had two days to get into place and Stevenson knew it. That was for anyone listening in on the conversation that shouldn't be. "Is there anything else you need before you're ready to leave?"
"No, this is sufficient," Vice Admiral Stevenson said as he waved his hand at the documents on the table. They were authorization orders that told the acquisition officer to provide the Vice Admiral with the supplies listed therein.
Olivier nodded, "I'll contact you tonight from JDS Izumo to finalize our route to Tokyo." The exact path they were taking there was being kept secret so that no one could expose it, they weren't planning a direct approach. "Does anyone else have something they would like to add?" she asked, pausing to take a moment to look at each officer gathered there. When no one spoke up she nodded a second time, "then this meeting is adjourned, we all have work to do gentlemen, let's get to it."
A small din picked up in the room as chairs scrapped across the floor and idle conversation started. Miya turned away from the table and glanced out the window once more, she was no longer interested in the men behind her. It didn't take long for the room to empty out. Everyone knew where they had to be and the discipline to get there without lazing about.
Olivier turned to Miya as the last foreign officer left the room. Aside from herself, Colonel Mustang, and the two Sekirei there wasn't anyone else visible in the room.
"I hope I did not misjudge the integrity of your Ashikabi," Olivier said, referring to the fact that Naruto still had yet to arrive. "I was informed he received news of our victory this morning."
Yume let out a small laugh, "Ah, he took a slight detour when he found out you were serving ramen for breakfast this morning," she said with a fond look in her eyes.
Miya stomped her foot, "Oh my, I was certain Hanabi-san strictly forbade Naruto-kun from having any Ramen until further notice," she said in a sickeningly sweet voice, "have things changed?"
A thoughtful look crossed Olivier's face as she glanced out the window. "Interesting, and where is he now?" she asked. She hadn't heard any reports of Naruto's arrival, which spoke highly of his abilities.
Miya twisted her foot, "I'm sure he's more than willing to show himself, right Naruto-kun?"
"Yes Miya…" came a small voice from space between Miya and the window. Naruto had been there all along, hiding there almost since the beginning of the meeting.
The air just in front of Miya rippled as if a stone had been dropped in a pond. The rippling grew worse as it travelled down, slowly revealing a sheepish looking Naruto. He was scratching the back of his head as he gave an apologetic look to Miya, although there was a hint of pain within those eyes as well. It became apparent why once the invisibility wore off. Miya's heel was digging into Naruto's foot.
"Very interesting, I never even noticed your presence," General Olivier said with some approval. She always considered herself a very perceptive person and respected Naruto's ability to hide from her. She assumed Miya and Yume knew that Naruto was there due to the bond they shared. She knew more than most about Sekirei and Ashikabi due to her connection with Councillor Naoki.
However…
"I would appreciate it if you didn't sneak into private meetings," Olivier said sternly.
Naruto dropped the sheepish façade and became serious as he turned to Olivier, "My Sekirei are here," he said as he pointed at Miya. If his Sekirei were invited, he was invited, or might as well be.
"It's the principle of the matter," Olivier shot back.
Naruto nodded his head, "I can accept that, it won't happen again" he assured her. He could understand her point of view, he felt the same way. Even if you were invited, hiding in the background was bad manners at best, suspicious at worst.
The General's gaze flickered towards Miya's chest and the back, "And this is hardly the place for that kind of activity."
"Wha?" Naruto was about to ask when he realized something. In his hand, the same hand he had used to point at Miya, was a large mound of soft, warm, flesh. Mechanically his head turned to Miya who was looking at him with a raised eyebrow. Taking a quick glance at his hand he realized it had somehow slipped into Miya's haori and was now cupping her generous bosom.
He squeezed his hand a couple times to make sure he wasn't mistaken.
"Oh my, is Naruto-kun's beastly desires getting so strong he can't even wait for us to get home?" Miya asked as she tilted her head and gave him one of her patent evil smiles. She didn't make any effort to stop him however.
"Ah... this… wasn't intentional," Naruto said hastily as he squeezed her breast a couple more times.
"Oh?" Miya asked with an arched eye as she glanced down at his hand. "And how is this not intentional?" she asked as she lightly touched the hand that was now vigorously massaging her breast.
"Ah well, I figure since I've already dug my grave I might as well jump in and get comfortable," Naruto said with a hesitant smile on his face.
"A brave man, or a stupid one," Olivier said, "you will see to it that he is suitably punished for this?" she asked as she turned to Miya.
"Oh yes, you can be quite certain of that," Miya replied.
"Good," Olivier said, putting Naruto's groping out of her mind as she got down to business. What occurred between him and his Sekirei were none of her concern, so long as it didn't hinder their efforts in overthrowing Minaka. She glanced back at Naruto, "since you were here, you obviously heard the plans, do you have anything you would like to add?" she asked
Since Naruto was essentially in charge of dealing with Minaka's Sekirei his input held more weight than everyone else that had been in the room combined. Those Sekirei were the single most problematic element that they had to deal with,
"Just keep your plans flexible," Naruto said as he became serious once more, although his hand never stopped massaging Miya's breast, "I have only a skeleton plan in place for dealing with Minaka's Sekirei. With the Sekirei that are left battles can happen anywhere at any time. Keep a close eye on Shinto Teito, any Sekirei battle that occurs from here on out will more than likely cause large scale destruction. If you see an opening, take it."
"We will, do you need any support?" Olivier asked.
"If you can evacuate civilians, great, I'd prefer it if you could evacuate the entire city before the final assault but that may be asking for too much," Naruto said, the fewer civilians there, the more wild he could go. As it was he generally held off his more powerful techniques inside the city out of concern for the people and even then he still ended up killing some. "However don't interfere with any battle between Sekirei. You're more likely to hinder us than help." It wasn't like they'd be able to do anything anyways. "They'll have no qualms about killing you and we won't be able to hold our fire if you get between us and them." That was another concern he had. He and Hanabi, they both knew what the stakes were and were used to sacrificing people to accomplish a goal. His Sekirei were not and he didn't want to put them in that situation, not yet anyways.
"That will be something for Councillor Naoki to decide," Olivier said as she turned and headed towards the large central table, her arms crossed behind her back, "I'm in charge of the southern assault, the councillor has someone else in charge the internal strike teams." Her men weren't going to move in on Shinto Teito until it was time to strike at MBI HQ itself. They wouldn't have time to help the civilians.
"I'll take it up with him later then," Naruto said. He glanced between Yume and Miya, "it's time to go home."
"It will be nice to take a shower without having to worry about men stealing a peek," Yume said as she came up beside Naruto and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Is there something I should know before I leave?" Naruto asked everyone present.
Colonel Mustang let out a quiet laugh as Olivier let out a pained sigh. Miya simply stared at Yume, who was beaming a brilliant smile at Naruto.
"There has been a recent… outbreak of engagements and… other relationships happening here on base thanks to a certain someone," Olivier said as she held her head in her hands. "It's caused a number of problems, minor issues really, but the shower area has become a popular place for more… how did you put it Miya? Illicit activities?"
"Quite, however the men know better than to try that with me," Miya said with an evil chuckle as a dark aura began to appear around her. The men went out of their way to avoid looking at Miya when she was anywhere near the shower areas now. Naruto had an idea of what probably happened there.
"Don't worry Naruto-kun, my body is for your eyes alone," Yume said cheerfully as she hugged Naruto tightly from the side.
"I see, you've been busy then Yume?" Naruto asked.
"It wasn't so bad at the start, but after the assault…" Olivier shuddered, "She has set up over a hundred different relationships since then."
"Love is a beautiful thing!" Yume cried out happily, "Just like the love between you and Colonel Mustang!"
The room went dead silent.
"Oh, wait, sorry, I wasn't supposed to say that," Yume apologized.
A sweat drop rolled down the back of Naruto's head.
"Ah, I think this is our queue to leave..." Naruto said, "See you on the battlefield!"
With a flicker Naruto, Miya and Yume were gone.
The room remained silent for several long moments after they were gone.
Olivier turned and glanced at the colonel with a raised eyebrow. "I think we need to have a talk about what's appropriate and what's not appropriate between a senior officer and a junior."
Colonel Mustang groaned and his eyebrow began to twitch. That was not a conversation he was going to look forward to.
x~X~x
"Whew! Home without any issues!" Naruto said happily as they appeared at Epsilon.
"It's good to be home," Yume said as she stepped away from Naruto and looked around and noted the others waiting for them. "Hanabi-san, Chime-san."
"Were there any complications?" Hanabi asked.
"No, it went without a problem, why?" Miya asked curiously, "did you expect there to be complications?"
"No, she was just concerned. Akitsu ran into some problems," Naruto said. He honestly didn't think anything would happen like with Akitsu, the missions were completely different. Akitsu had been alone whereas Miya and Yume had been together AND had the full backing of an entire military base.
"What happened to Akitsu-san?" Yume asked in concern.
"She…" Naruto trailed off. "She was taken by an enemy Sekirei, Yuuchi assures me that she is fine and will remain that way. Considering I can't get to her I have no choice but to accept her word."
"You can't teleport to her?" Miya asked.
Naruto shook his head, "Yuuchi says that Evangeline has taken an interest in Akitsu and is training her. I don't know her agenda but I fully intend on finding out once she reveals herself."
Training or not, simply taking Akitsu was not acceptable. Despite Yuuchi's warning he was going to make sure Evangeline knew just how displeased he was with her actions.
"So, Akitsu aside, why exactly is your hand under Miya's haori?" Chime asked as she pointed at Naruto's hand that was still massaging Miya's breast.
"Yes, Naruto-kun, may I ask why you have yet let to go?" Miya asked archly.
"Because I like your breasts," Naruto said cheekily as his fingers coiled around her nipple and tugged on it.
Miya smiled sweetly at him and in a single swift movement spun around so that her back was against his chest. Using her momentum, and Naruto's unwillingness to let go, she threw Naruto over her shoulder. With a yelp Naruto was whipped through the air and slammed roughly into the floor.
"Wow, he still hasn't let go, that's dedication," Chime observed admiringly.
"Don't bother Miya-san, he has glued his hand to your chest with chakra," Hanabi said as she walked over to stand between Naruto's sprawled legs.
"Oh my, how convenient, does that mean he won't let go no matter how many times I throw him?" Miya asked in a voice that did not bode well for Naruto. "It would make chastising him for groping me publicly much easier; I won't even need to chase him around the yard first."
"Not letting go!" Naruto said stubbornly.
"You groped her in public?" Hanabi asked archly. Had it been in the privacy of Epsilon she would have asked why he hadn't groped her as well, but in public was something different entirely.
"It did actually start out as an accident," Naruto said seriously.
"But you didn't let go."
"Hell no! Miya's breasts are amazing!"
"He also snuck some ramen from the mess hall," Yume said with some amusement. Her Ashikabi's antics never ceased to bring a smile to her face, which she suspected was the purpose behind them in the first place.
"…"
"…"
"You didn't have to say that part Yume…" Naruto whined. He winced as Hanabi stared at him with fire in her eyes, "It was only one bowl!" he said as he tried to defend his actions.
"Miya-san, I think I may join you in… chastising Naruto-kun," Hanabi said as she bent down and grabbed Naruto's ankle.
"Ah hah… can't we just talk about this?"
"No," Miya and Hanabi said at the same time.
"NOOOO! Yume! Chime! Help me!" Naruto cried out as Miya and Hanabi dragged Naruto away and down into the bowels of Epsilon.
Chime shook her head helplessly, "He can't honestly expect us to help him after he dug a grave that deep right?"
"I'm sure he's well aware," Yume said with a soft smile on her face.
"He wouldn't suffer so much if he stopped while he was ahead."
"He does it on purpose," Yume said softly, "The ramen, Miya-san's groping, the refusal to let go. It was all intentional. It gives Miya-san and Hanabi-san the chance to relieve stress by punishing him. I think somewhere deep inside they realize that too, that's why they never do anything to him that is gone by the next day." It was the same with many of the incidents in the past. Some of them were serious like the issue surrounding Hiashi but most of the time he riled them up on purpose; fully aware of what would happen to him later.
"Great, our Ashikabi is masochistic along with everything else," Chime said with a laugh.
A frown crossed Yume's face as Chime's words pointed something out she hadn't realized before. Their Ashikabi was a lot of things, he seemed to be whatever they wished him to be. It was great, he fit the definition of perfection. Perfection wasn't a peak that you stopped at, it was like the crest of a wave, constantly shifting and moving based on situations so that no matter what you're always in the ideal position.
That was the problem however, perfection should be impossible to achieve.
And yet their Ashikabi was, at least when it came to being a loving partner. He was everything, he became what they needed him to be to be happy. He bent over backwards to ensure that they were happy and content, even going so far as to sacrifice himself to do so.
But no one could be everything, it wasn't possible for anyone to achieve perfection in all areas. There would be contradictions in their actions and feelings.
A worried look appeared in Yume's eyes as she stared through the floor towards her Ashikabi. She held her hands up to her chest and wrung them worriedly.
She realized now that she saw those contradictory feelings within her Ashikabi. As Chime pointed out, his actions here spoke of masochistic tendencies, and she had seen that within him, a desire to be hurt. But at the same time she saw the desire to not be hurt. It shouldn't be possible to both desire and not desire the same thing at the same time.
And that brought back memories of times past where she had seen emotions mysteriously appear or disappear within her Ashikabi. As if he could turn them on and off like a switch.
It made her worried, very worried.
They were blessed with a loving Ashikabi that would go to the ends of the earth for them, but was that the real Naruto? How much of him was genuine and how much was fabricated? How far did you have to dig to get past all the masks?
And would there even be anything there once you got past them all?
Yume knew his history, what happened to him in the past. For someone that went through an all-consuming war and lost virtually everyone and everything he had ever cared for, he seemed rather carefree.
She had seen what war could do to someone, she had been in several herself, but none had ever come close to what her Ashikabi had to experience. It would be doubly worse for him as he was the commanding officer, the one ultimately responsible for the well-being of his people.
Musubi was the only one that had reacted to him, but she had been warped and broken due to the experiments done to her when she was a baby. She had been a shell of a person, hastily reconstructed and held together by Yume's own power.
Was that why she reacted to Naruto? Because they were similar? The more Sekirei an Ashikabi had the stronger the attraction they have towards the unwinged, but none had reacted to him, even after winging several Sekirei.
"Yume? Are you alright?" Chime asked in concern as she stared at Yume staring into the floor.
"Ah, of course Chime-san, just thinking," Yume said as she gave her a weak smile. Shaking herself from her depressing thoughts Yume headed towards the stairs down. She wanted a shower, then she would figure out a way to help her Ashikabi find his real self after this war was done and over with.
x~X~x
Naruto let out a low grunt as he reached his ninth climax while inside Miya, twenty second overall, since he had begun this portion of his 'punishment'. He was in a seated position in the bed with Miya in his lap, their arms were wrapped tightly around one another. Their chests heaved with exertion and a sheen of sweat coated their bodies. The scent of sweat and sex was heavy in the air.
"How did things end up like this?" Naruto murmured as he rested his chin on Miya's shoulder, enjoying the afterglow of the release.
"Does Naruto-kun not consider this a suitable punishment?" Miya asked archly, her cheeks flushed from pleasure and exertion, "I could always throw you around some more."
"I'm not complaining!" Naruto replied hastily.
Hanabi and Miya hadn't been particularly gentle with him. They had dragged him down to the training room and shown him first hand just how upset they were with him. The injuries weren't long lasting, just poignant.
That punishment had in turn transformed into something far more pleasant after the fact. Although if he had been anyone else it probably would have been simply a different type of hell. Hanabi and Miya were both very demanding ladies that required far more than the average woman to be satisfied.
It had taken him almost three hours to make it up to Hanabi, and two hours after that he was still trying to make amends with Miya. Hanabi was currently taking a long luxurious bath to wash off the sweat and sex that had covered her.
The beautiful Sekirei currently in his arms would no doubt require the same by the time she was satisfied.
Miya pulled back slightly and looked down at her stomach. She gently caressed that smooth skin. Miya couldn't help but let a small smile crease her face.
"Miya?" Naruto asked curiously as he watched Miya.
"I seem to have missed my period," the former landlady said as she looked up and capture Naruto's gaze with her own.
"Wait so you're…?" Naruto's question trailed off, there was no need to finish it.
"Yes, only forty-five more to go," Miya said with a smile.
Naruto gave her a dry look, "Only? I'm not sure how I feel about being treated as a baby batter dispenser."
Miya let out a small chuckle and kissed him deeply. Pulling back she gave him a sly look, "I would have thought Naruto-kun would be overjoyed at the thought of being able to unleash his beastly desires upon my body," she said teasingly. She glanced between her legs where Naruto was sheathed inside her, still fully erect and ready to go once more with an inexhaustible supply of stamina and desire. "You seem to be very enthusiastic about it, despite your words."
Naruto let out a small growl, "I'll show you beastly desires!" he shouted and exploded into action. He pulled out of her and used the Hiraishin no Jutsu to get behind her.
Miya barely had enough time to register what was going on before she found herself bent forward, her face pressed deeply into her pillow, and Naruto entering her once more, his hips already pumping back and forth. A pair of hands danced across her flesh, stopping as they reached her breasts. Miya let out a pleasant moan as Naruto's hands began to vigorously kneed and massage that soft pliable flesh.
Naruto bent over Miya's back and rested his head beside hers. He kissed her passionately, slipping his tongue into her mouth as he did so. Their tongues battled with one another for several long minutes, neither wanting to give in to the other, to admit defeat. It ended in a stalemate when they pulled back at the same time due to the need to breath.
"Oh my, it seems Naruto-kun is letting his beastly urges get the best of him," Miya said breathlessly, sounding excited at the prospect.
"Yes! There's no going back Miya! I'm going to ravage your body with ALL my might! The beast has been unleashed upon you!" Naruto proclaimed as he began to move his hips faster.
Up until this point Miya had taken the lead in all things, but not anymore. He was going to ravish her body with all his might. He'd have her screaming his name a dozen times over before the end.
"Then show me what the beast is, I need to know if it is a danger to the others," Miya said with an amused smile on her lips.
And showed her he did.
For the next hour he was everywhere at once. He didn't need clones to do it. With a quick liberal application of the Hiraishin no Jutsu that Naruto was CERTAIN his father did not intend the technique to be used for, Naruto managed to be inside Miya in multiple places at once. While not exactly at the same time, the changes happened so rapidly it might as well be.
Miya certainly couldn't tell the difference as Naruto greedily filled her.
And when so much had been spilled inside that he couldn't put anymore in he had taken to covering the outside of her body, first her face and chest, then everything else.
In the end, it was hard to find a single part of Miya's body that wasn't covered. It looked like a scene taken straight out of one of those hentai anime that Naruto had the misfortune of catching a glimpse of once. It was inhuman how much he had managed to release in so short a period of time.
And certainly it wasn't something Naruto could have done without some help.
Thanks Kurumi, Naruto sent as he rested on Miya's back, his head beside hers and his hands wrapped around her front.
Of course, there's no way I'm going to let a woman out do us, Kurumi sent back.
Kurumi had used her power to greatly accelerate his regenerative capabilities. Normally it was spread out across Naruto's entire body but in this single situation it was focused on his balls. As a result they were fully recharged before he had even finished discharging.
You're a woman yourself you know, Naruto pointed out.
Not by choice, a woman's body I may be in, but I have the soul of a fox!
Those are mutually exclusive…
Don't sweat the minor stuff, Kurumi said as she waved away his logic.
There was another reason she had been eager to help him. She still had to get back at him for those earlier comments. While she had done nothing to 'endanger' his child within Miya, their child was now going to be born with more 'fox like' qualities than before.
Not physically of course, biologically their child was going to be entirely Naruto and Miya's, but their child's personality was definitely going to be a little foxy.
And Kurumi had decided to ensure that their child would be female to boot. She had inserted a little bit of her original will into the child to be. Her soul would be one part Sekirei, one part Human, and one part Kurumi.
"Mmm, that was certainly beastly," Miya said as she rolled out from under Naruto and onto her back. She lifted her hand above face and tilted it from side to side, watching as the thick white liquid dripped off her hand.
"And something I'll be expecting after I've given birth," Hanabi said as she stood naked at the end of the bed with her hands on her hips. She had been there almost since the start, having come in on them after her bath just as Naruto started to use the Hiraishin no Jutsu on Miya.
Hanabi had stayed quietly and had enjoyed the sight with her Byakugan. Watching Naruto ravish Miya's body had given her plenty of ideas of what she wanted Naruto to do to her when she wasn't in such a delicate position.
"I don't know, this may be too much for anyone else to handle, I might have to ask Naruto-kun to restrict it to me alone," Miya said.
"I'm sure I can handle it, after all, my body has been trained and honed to perfectly meet Naruto-kun's every need," Hanabi said with a confident smile on her face.
Of course her body hadn't been necessarily honed and trained for sexual purposes but that was beside the point. The only reason she didn't demand the same treatment now was due to her child. Without her clothing on it was easy to see her pregnancy.
"Don't I get a say in this?" Naruto asked curiously.
"No," the two of them replied instantly.
A large sweat drop rolled down the side of Naruto's face. For what seemed like the hundredth time he was starting to regret having two alpha females dominate his life. With one of them he could argue, with both there was no chance.
"Yume-san could take it," Hanabi said thoughtfully.
"Yes, I agree, but I am opposed to Chime-san," Miya said.
"Her body is a little on the immature side, perhaps in a couple years once she finishes growing," Hanabi agreed.
"It's not the body I'm concerned with, it's Chiho-san, she's too sweat to have the beast unleashed upon her," Miya argued.
Another sweat drop rolled down the side of Naruto's head. If they that Chime wasn't so 'sweet and innocent' when it came to sex Miya wouldn't think that, although that would cause a different kind of trouble.
Naruto started in surprise when he realized something. "Hey wait a minute..." Miya and Hanabi were officially deciding the boundaries of his sex life. For some reason Naruto found that distinctly unfair.
Miya ignored Naruto's protest and kept on talking, "Akitsu-san would be acceptable."
"Of course, we probably wouldn't be able to stop that even if we tried," Hanabi agreed.
Naruto had to agree with that assessment. Akitsu probably wouldn't even be satisfied with 'just' the beast.
"I still think I—"
"Hush Naruto-kun, we're talking here," Hanabi said as she hushed her husband.
"But that's—"
"We should keep it away from Blanc-san," Miya said, talking over Naruto.
"Yes, her body is too small," Hanabi agreed.
"Wait a—"
Naruto was cut off as Miya covered his mouth with her hand, "You're still being punished, Naruto-kun, hush," Miya said without even looking at him, "The small size can be compensated, but it will need to be worked on over an extended period of time."
"Yes that could work," Hanabi said as she nodded in agreement.
"This sucks…" Naruto mumbled into Miya's hand as Hanabi and Miya hashed out the final details of the rest of his sex life.
x~X~x
It was still early when Naruto slipped from his bedroom. Behind him, hugging a shadow clone he had left in his place, were Miya and Hanabi, still asleep after the 'vigorous' exercise the night before. He doubted the clone would fool the two of them for very long, that wasn't its purpose anyways, it was simply there to explain why he wasn't there when they woke up.
He had said he would be, but something had come up that he couldn't ignore.
He paused at the door and gave the two women he loved one last long look before he left the room and headed upstairs. A clone suddenly popped into existence beside him, dressed as he was in his full Hokage ensemble. The clone gave him a quick nod and headed for the second floor.
He wouldn't be meeting with Yuuchi this morning for training, there was something more important he had to attend to, a place he needed to be.
Which was why he wasn't too surprised when he saw Yuuchi walking down the hallway towards him as he reached the Hiraishin seals on the first floor. She was fully dressed this time, wearing her normal robes, although this time the highlights were blue instead of her usual red.
"Did my clone not explain things?" Naruto asked curiously as Yuuchi walked up to him.
"It did," Yuuchi said, "but I am curious as to what this 'business' is that you deemed more important than finishing up your seal projection training." Naruto was a true natural when it came to seal manipulation, at the rate he was going it would only take one last session for him to completely get it down. He had already mastered seal creation on and within liquids and had made rudimentary progress with gases.
Naruto remained silent for a time as he worked over in his head how much, if any, he should tell Yuuchi about what was going on. There were pros and cons to either decision. First and foremost Yuuchi would be a great help if he brought her along, provided she didn't cause any complications. And it was those complications he was worried about. More importantly it would give her a clue into what his plans for the future were, and he wasn't sure how she would react to it.
"You do not wish me to know?" Yuuchi asked curiously. There wasn't a hint of disappointment in her voice.
Ultimately it was that indifference that decided it for Naruto, "No, it's fine, I'm just going home for a bit," he said.
Yuuchi glanced around Epsilon and frowned thoughtfully, "Is this place not your home?"
"Home is where the heart is," Naruto replied.
That caused Yuuchi's eyebrows to rise, "I would have assumed that was here as well."
Naruto nodded his head, "Yes, I agree, and part of it is, but… only that, a part of it."
And if Naruto had to be honest with himself, it was the smallest part. He had a large heart, so Hanabi and the others never knew, although Hanabi probably suspected. He never had anyone growing up, so each person that he found later on in life took up residence in his heart.
And when they fell, when they were taken away, a piece of his heart went with them. The Sekirei he had now only made up for a small portion of the individuals that he had come to care about over the course of his life.
"You have found a way back to the Elemental Nations," Yuuchi stated.
"Yes."
"I see, yes, that is an acceptable reason to skip our training," Yuuchi said as she nodded her head. Without another word she turned and headed back the way she came.
Naruto watched her go silently. He had been so sure that she would ask to come along, but she hadn't. He wasn't sure what he would have said if she had asked but he had expected the question.
With a short shake of his head Naruto put her out of his mind and disappeared from Epsilon.
And reappeared at Charlie Point.
The clone, Alpha, was there waiting for him when he arrived.
"You're sure they found it?" Naruto asked his primary clone the moment he arrived.
"There's no way to be one hundred percent certain, but every major event up until we were ejected matches up, and the current state of the world does coincide with what Miya and Yuuchi have told us," Alpha explained to his creator. He had been the one to create and dispel the clone to inform Naruto of the discovery. The clones that were actually involved in the connection hadn't dispelled, they were all in deep concentration maintaining the connection. "That's close enough I think."
"Let's go," Naruto said as he started for the portal. He wanted to see, to feel, the world for himself.
"We have come across a problem associated with 'The Plan'," Alpha said as he followed a step behind his creator.
Naruto frowned, he didn't like to hear that, they were running out of time, he could feel it. "What problem?"
"The Hiraishin no Jutsu," Alpha said, "We've hit our utmost limit."
"Which is?"
"Continental," Alpha said simply, "We believe that there's something about the way a world is put together that's causing the issue. We can shift entire continental plates, and everything on it, but we can't shift more than one. It's like they're not treated as a singular item, but multiple. We have tried using multiple groups to shift multiple plates but the results have always been… less than satisfactory."
That was an understatement to say the least. They could move the plates, but the magma beneath it didn't shift with it, that caused all kinds of problems. What's more was landing everything in exactly the right position afterwards. There were several small islands in the Pacific Ocean that weren't there anymore because of those complications.
And several new ones had been created as a result of titanic underwater volcanic eruptions.
There were just too many variables to take into consideration when transporting them as separate pieces.
Naruto paused as he entered a room at the back of Charlie Point. In here there were three different dimensional portals, each one leading to a separate place his clones had created.
The one on the left was where Eta group was located, they were still playing with the laws of reality within there, and still had to be replaced on a regular basis. What they were discovering in the process however was monumental. He had figured out how to create new types of energy.
He couldn't transport that energy outside of said dimensional pocket but it still had limited uses, such as helping him learn how to combine multiple types of chakra. It was a slow process but using the new energy he created he could use it as a catalyst to help him merge various elemental chakra together to create secondary, or even tertiary, elements. From there all he had to do was analyze how the catalyst interacted with the elements and then try to reproduce that effect without it.
He doubted he'd ever be able to manipulate those elements on the same level as those with bloodlines but given enough time there wouldn't be any combination of elements he couldn't use.
Naruto glanced towards the portal on the right. Beta group had been repurposed and were now through that portal. They were working on time manipulation. Naruto had put that on hold after the first progress report. This universe, or perhaps it was the planet, violently objected to Naruto manipulating time. However now that he could step outside of the universe and create his own dimension it was a different story. They still couldn't solve the whole 'being torn to shreds' bit of the time travel but nothing tried to obliterate the pieces upon arrival.
That was just going back in time however, moving forward was already successful. It seems there wasn't any hindrance in that regard. They hadn't done anything more than an hour at a time but it worked.
Naruto turned to the center portal. This one led to the dimensional gateways. Naruto was contemplating turning it into a Nexus in the future, after Orochimaru was dead; a place between dimensions that would freely allow travel from one place to another. He'd have to be careful and make sure that the portals connected to different universes, and not simply alternate ones of the same one. The latter would cause all sorts of problems.
Naruto glanced back at Alpha and addressed him, "Work on it, I don't want to have to resort to 'Plan – X',"
"That sounds ominous," Yuuchi commented as she walked into the room.
"Yuuchi!" Naruto said in surprise as he turned around to stare at the tiny Pillar. Not only was her presence here unexpected, he hadn't sensed her arrival at all, but her clothing was completely different.
Instead of her usual shrine maiden outfit she was dressed in a full one-piece skin tight body suit. It was completely white save for the inner part of her legs and arms which were colored a dark grey. There were small, gold ports all over the suit, including a half dozen that ran the length of her spine. The body suit covered everything up to her chin with the exception of her front. Her entire chest area was exposed, covered only lightly by criss-crossing grey belts. It left virtually everything from below her navel up to the base of her neck completely exposed, including her breasts. Considering how deep the opening was Naruto was surprised he couldn't see the rest of her.
The strangest thing however, surpassing even the odd looking suit, was the helmet she was wearing, although to call it a helmet was not doing it justice. It almost completely covered her head, leaving only the lower part of her head beneath her nose exposed. It looked like it was ripped straight from a science fiction movie. It looked like someone had stuck a high tech computer over her head, there were glowing lights all over it and it extended out behind her almost a foot. On either side of it were two white metal wings, each with five more golden ports similar, but smaller, in shape to the ones on her suit. The front and top of the helm was covered in a clear plastic material that had a light blue tint to it. Her long red hair flowed out from an opening in the back of the device and streamed down her back.
"What are you doing here? And do I want to even ask why you're dressed like that?" Naruto asked as he stared at Yuuchi unabashed.
"I wish to see my old home," Yuuchi said explained, "I did not bother to ask, to spare you the trouble of having to respond, you seemed to struggle as it was with simply speaking of the subject."
"How did you get here?"
"What do you mean? You have that wonderful sealing array at Epsilon that has all your Hiraishin markers. I simply used that to get here."
Naruto groaned, he hadn't even considered that. He hadn't even thought about putting any sort of security on it. Until recently he thought he was the only one that knew the Hiraishin no Jutsu, and as Yuuchi was an ally it hadn't occurred to him to lock it down.
"And the clothes?" Naruto asked.
"My normal clothes are hardly combat effective," Yuuchi explained.
"And that is?" He asked as he pointed at the overly large contraption on her head.
"Yes, I can react twenty five thousand times faster with it on," Yuuchi explained.
"Wait what?!" That was a ridiculously huge increase, he had to of heard it wrong.
"I am linked with Kouten, that connection grants me limited control over it from a distance. However if I wish to exert a greater amount of control I need to directly connect with it. This is the interface that one uses when they wish to connect directly with it. Miya has one as well, as do all the Pillars should they be required to take up the burden of Kouten. Ayesha and Orochimaru, and yourself, were the exceptions."
"That doesn't explain why you're wearing it now, we're not going to Kouten," Naruto pointed out.
"There is a lot of analysis equipment in this, I wish to measure the state of our home."
"Alright, I guess I can accept that but… what's with the lack of any frontal cover?" Naruto asked, there couldn't be a reason for that, it just didn't make any sense. "Your breasts are fully exposed."
"My breasts?" Yuuchi asked with a hint of confusion in her voice. She glanced down at herself and frowned in annoyance, "I thought something felt off," she murmured as she began to adjust the suit.
"Oh, so the suit isn't on properly?" Naruto said with some relief. That was good to know, it was hard to believe that she would willingly wear something that exposed her like that out in public.
The relief was short lived however as Naruto suddenly realized what Yuuchi's adjustments had done.
"There, that is better, the ports are located in the proper locations now. Thank you for noticing that Naruto-san, that would have significantly affected my performance," Yuuchi said as she gave Naruto a small smile.
"How is that any better?!" Naruto asked incredulously. The suit now dipped even further below than before. Her front was now completely exposed, including a pair of pink lips located between her legs.
"Does my nudity concern you?" Yuuchi asked curiously.
"Yes, it does," Naruto said with a sigh.
"Ah, I see, what part of myself is unsightly? I shall adjust it so that you are more comfortable," Yuuchi said.
"That's… not it…" Naruto let out a long sigh. How did he go about explaining this to her? That was when he noticed the small smile on her lips, "You're doing this on purpose again aren't you?"
"Perhaps," Yuuchi said as her small smile grew.
"You really don't care if I stare at you, do you?"
"Of course not, if I was bothered by your gaze I would conceal myself. There is a front part of this suit I could wear, I simply chose not to. It is most uncomfortable to wear when there is no reason to do so," Yuuchi replied.
"No reason?"
"Yes, no reason, it provides a limited amount of protection at the expense of mobility, and it chafes my skin," Yuuchi replied. "The only reason to wear it would be for modesty's sake, you have already seen this much of me. Therefore there is no reason to wear it."
Naruto let out another long sigh, "Fine, is there anyone ELSE that wants to come along?" he asked the empty space around him, not really expecting an answer.
"I think I will," Ramen prime said as she stepped out from within the fabric of reality.
"Not you too…" Naruto groaned as he stared at Ramen's naked body.
"There is a practical reason for this, father, unlike Yuuchi who simply enjoys having your eyes on her," Naruto started at that revelation and noticed a slight tinge of pink appear on Yuuchi's exposed cheeks, "We are returning home. I intend to reconnect with my old body, clothing would only hinder that."
"Alright, I understand," Naruto said as he held up a hand to stop her. He was beginning to think he was the butt of some cosmic joke, "Is there anyone ELSE out there that wants to come along? Clothing is apparently optional!"
Naruto held his breath as he waited for yet another unexpected individual to appear. Considering the way things were going he half expected his mother to appear or Orochimaru in a speedo.
But when no one responded he let out a long sigh of relief.
"You didn't forget about me did you?" Kurumi asked as she appeared beside him.
And like the other two she was completely exposed, she didn't bother to cover herself with her wings this time.
"What… how?"
"I took over Alpha and modified his body," Kurumi explained. "Do you like the remodelling?" she asked as she did a little twirl.
"…why me?" Naruto asked as he wilted like a flower in the desert.
"Because no one else is as fun to screw with," Kurumi explained as she patted her host on the head mockingly.
"Screw with? SCREW THIS!" Naruto roared and ripped his clothes from his body, "If everyone else is going naked then I am as well!" He'd had enough; he was jumping on the crazy train and riding it all the way to the end.
"Hmm, I fail to see why the others enjoy having sex with you so much," Yuuchi said as she stared at Naruto's crotch in disappointment.
"I was always wondering what sort of impact Hiruzen dropping you on your head as a baby would have, I understand now," Ramen said as she gave Naruto a pitying look.
"You were more impressive in your head," Kurumi murmured as she gave Naruto's body a once over.
Now THAT was insulting.
"I give up… let's… let's just go…" Naruto said as he turned around and dragged himself through the portal, his ego and pride trailing behind him in tatters, torn to shreds by three of the most powerful women in existence.
Author's Notes: As for what Yuuchi looked like in her suit, go look up Tyria from Ar Tonelico 3. Combine her 'fully stripped' form with her helmet, and then make the opening in the front extend further up and down her body and that's what she looks like.
