Well folks, it's official. After 20 weeks of updates, it would seem that I can actually write a story that updates regularly... Just don't tell anyone that's a fan of my other stories this...
Beyond that, I've gotten the names for the jinchuuriki that weren't named in cannon, but I shan't spoil the surprise until I reveal them. And now, responding to my wonderful readers!
geetac: You and me both, thanks!
The-Eighth-Sin: Yes it was, thank you.
Iron Reprieve: Heh, yeah, I think Tenten was a little... busy with her hands, no? So fluffy, just makes you all warm and tingly inside no? You're welcome, and thank you for reviewing.
Trinity the Kitsune Kunoichi: Thank you. Will do. Updating. Yes you can. Always has been to me.
spottedstar2: Soda? Uhh... yeah, let's just call it that... *edges away* Thank you, and yeah, he has some friends... Not much help in the immediate due to the jutsu, but good for the long run.
90MLLu: You do? Oh, well okay then... Speaking of images drawn... can I get fanart of this story please? Come on! As for that scene, shouldn't the smilie be more of a ^,.^ thank ^v^? I mean the first one has a nosebleed. ~.o Ara ara, the Rasengan was a bit of a cheat with me applying physics to the Naruto world... and yeah, I think it might have hurt a little... but Naruto's a tough little guy. *blushes* Ara ara... Yeah, I tried to make Naruto seem like himself, and he's always had a soft spot for kids in my opinion. The ending was a nice touch I think. Thanks for the review!
badkidoh: Thank you.
Elemental Dragon Swordman: You'll be happy to note that further molestation shall occur without Naruto being in a dress... unless it happens again sometime... Dunno... and yeah, lotta people liked the fluffy ending.
2lazy2log (The Arms of Blood): Hi there, I guess I have to thank you for giving me a chance, and hope that you will continue reading this. I guess this story is about as random as one can get. I'm glad that you've enjoyed the amazing and... 'disturbing' trip so far. Umm... sorry about the laughing yourself unconscious thing... do you think I should put a health warning on it? Ara ara... yeah hectic is the pace of the story, and I've got other that I work at a more sedated pace. If you find an award to submit me for... uh just lemme know what it is, and where.
volrath77: Yeah, I find Kyuubi being more interesting in fandom than in canon. If I make another scene with Kyuubi and/or Minato, I think I might just through in the explanation about Kyuubi being controlled. Ara ara... Not yet on Baa-chan.
ratpigeon: Yeah, he was cute, and Kon's a sweetie, at least... I hope so. ^.^
CelticReaper: Thank you ^.^ Well... just remember all that's going to be coming in during the next day and change... Updated.
narutokurosaki: Yeah, I listed them out in the previous chapter... and I knew of those facts you mentioned. But I'm gonna try using them as jinchuuriki than the bijuu themselves.
Dezric: Thank you. Yeah, Naruto's got support in his fight in the form of Kon, Hinata, Shino, and Tsunade (to a degree). Is the Sexual Harassment panda like Pedo-bear?
Sentiment Remains: Thank you very much. Glad that you're enjoying it, and here's some more.
Anonymous: *smirks* Well Bob, I'm glad that you're enjoying yourself. Please keep your hands and arms inside the ride at all times, poor Naruto, ne? Ara ara... Thanks about the portrayal about Tenten, and I hope that you can forgive me if I ruined any of the characters for you. Yes, the liquid was blood... I think... I hope... *twitches* Blood transfusions could be in order I think. What I did was I went on a names database, went through the Japanese names until I found ones that fit. So, maybe I'm cheating a little bit. No worries! Now, get your homework done! *shakes a stick at it* SEE! It's not too much to shake a stick at it! Thanks for the awesome work comment, I'll try.
Alyondria: Thanks for your praise of the chapter, I'm glad that the feelings of it wasn't just the intense humor that I threw in throughout the fic, but rather also added in a slice of life to give it a more realistic feeling in my humble opinion. Wait no more, for it is here.
jolteonforever: Hey, when you need to know your way around your own mind... ask the demon that lives there, right? Thank you, I'm glad everyone seems to like the ending. Shino's cute, and Tenten... well she knew from past experience that if she took her time, he'd get away... which he still did. I'm waiting on my pornoteer shirt too! Ara ara... no fair... someone call up Kishimoto's lawyers and see about getting them made! (I'm kidding because lawyers scare the bajeebus outta me.) The jinchuuriki are coming! The jinchuuriki are coming! *rides away shouting that on a horse as two lanterns burn in a church window* Kirabi is the name given in the manga, and it's what I'm gonna stick with.
inote: I'd not put it as the greatest, but thanks for the compliment. It's been an emotional rollercoaster hasn't it? I wonder if anyone's laughed while crying? Ara ara, the tissues are in the box for them, Kon is an OC that I'm really glad came out as nicely as she did. Thinking about giving her life via art, so I might be mentioning it in future chapters. (Any fanart done for this fic should be sent to SilentMagi on deviantART. Thank you.) I'm not a perved person... am I? *winces at the shouts of yes* Well... uhh... I'd only like to defend that this isn't a yaoi gumbo, but rather the yaoi is the side dish to the culinary feast of this story. With a sappy cherry on top. (Please no jokes about the OTHER cherry refered to in this story.)
Enjoy!
Icha Icha: Animal Magnetism
Chapter 19
Shino leaned against the wall, letting his bugs return for a few minutes to feed and rest before going back out on guard duty. It had been about three hours since Naruto had gotten to sleep, and no one had approached the defensive line the bugs had set up. He only hoped that it continued that way, but if the captured and bound Tenten was any indication, the peace would not be long lasting.
Closing his eyes he reflected on what he'd learned about himself, and Naruto during this past month of which the blonde had been under the influence of the curse. The key thing that stood out above all else was that Naruto had accepted Shino's feelings for him, at least personally that was the most important fact. To Konoha at large however, was that Naruto would likely be uniquely suited for deep insertion and extraction missions. For even though he'd been captured a few times, only his holding off from hurting a person he considered a friend allowed him to remain such. True a few times it had been through help of friends, but they were on teams for a reason. To support each other.
"Shino-kun... there are a group incoming... fourteen of them in cloaks... with clouds on them?" Hinata whispered as she watched the group approaching with her Byakugan. Shino frowned and scribbled out a quick message, having one of his bugs fly it in, before coming to the edge of the roof where the rest of his clan waited.
"Father..." Shino intoned as he looked down at the streets below.
"I heard," Shibi replied, smoothing down his porn-stache before nodding to the others, who began to concentrate their bugs into a thicker defense. "We cannot hold them long, let's hope your boyfriend gets out quickly."
Shino colored slightly behind his jacket but kept quiet, as the hope echoed in his mind. Besides, he could dream Naruto was his, couldn't he? Instead he began prepping his own bugs to assault the group while they were distracted with the main wall.
Naruto opened his eyes when he felt a piece of paper thwaping his nose lightly. Following it down, he noticed the bug he'd been talking to earlier sitting on Kon's head, hitting him on the nose with a rolled up paper. Taking the paper he mumbled a quick thanks before reading it and paling. "Red clouds... Akatsuki... Pain..." Naruto whimpered out before shuddering, remembering his previous meeting with the group. Slipping Kon off his lap, he frowned in thought for a moment before popping open a little hideaway hole he'd used as a kid and slipped her inside, hoping she'd understand. Sealing her in again he looked at the bug that had remained with him and pointed at the hole's cover. "Protect her, please. I'm going to distract them."
Without waiting for a reply, Naruto simply ran out of the room, his fingers crossed in a familiar sign. Two steps later, dozens of Naruto filled the entire hallway, flooding out of it in droves. Some simply took off out of windows, others split off to leave from different floors.
Taking off with one of the groups, Naruto found that his plan had worked in that the groups had left his apartment alone and were chasing after the entire horde of Naruto clones pouring out of it. It have failed to leave him free without a follower however, as just a glance behind him showed a pair chasing after and taking out several of his clones.
Taking a chance, he had one of his clones talk to the approaching duo, finding out two things. One, apparently it was Kisame and Itachi, and two... Kisame apparently had two of everything, and he was 'sure he could fit them in'. Which was quite frankly more than he'd EVER need to know about him.
As the memories of torment from one clone came into his mind, he redoubled his efforts to get away, sending a group of five clones on a suicide attack run at the two missing ninjas. He took the momentary distraction they provided to turn down a side road, only to skid to a halt in front of a childish looking red-head.
"Naruto... come with me, I can make you over into everlasting art after we remove the demon from you..." the red-head stated calmly while holding his hand out. "My name is Sasori, and I want you to be my eternal puppet."
Naruto's response was simple and effective, he turned on his heel and took off like a bat out of hell again. Sasori paused in surprise before starting give chase, accidentally running smack dab into Itachi and Kisami. While the trio disentangled themselves from each other, Naruto made good his escape.
For all of a minute he was free and clear, getting the occasional flashes of memories from clones, that is... until he ran into... him. Ino's older brother, or so Naruto thought upon first hearing him, before that he thought he was Ino's older sister. The first words out of his mouth would haunt Naruto's nightmares for longer than he'd ever care to imagine, they were so bad. "Hello Naruto," purred the blonde male as the mouths on his palms licked their lips. "You must be art, because art is beautiful, and art is a bang. Well... I want to bang you."
Before Naruto's ears could try to stab themselves from hearing the king of lame pick up lines, Naruto took off running again, this time summoning up a swarm of clones to charge at the other blonde. That would ultimately be his doom, as he'd never be able to get the sound of Deidara shouting. "OH YES! GANGBANG!" out of his mind.
This particularly disturbing memory came to him at quite possibly the worst time ever, and for some reason he wanted to swear at some guy named Murphy. While distracted by that mentally scarring, and eternally painful mental image, he managed to plow straight into a tall man with silvery hair, carrying a scythe. The good part of that, was he did it at such speed that the other man was embedded into the wall, with parts of the steel support beams sticking out of his chest. The bad part, was that he was still alive, screaming in what he'd assume was orgasmic bliss to someone named Jashin, and vowing to return the favor to the blonde when he was free.
Naruto wisely decided to not wait for that to happen. His luck just didn't seem to be with him, as he nearly ran into a guy with glowing green eyes, and a face mask similar to Kakashi's over the lower half of his face. Naruto was about to apologize when a swarm of dark gray threads spread forth from inside the other's cloak, and he began approaching. "Hello Naruto, I'm Kakuzu... and I'd like to introduce you to some fun bondage before we take your little demon friend."
A quick Kurami with a sacrificial log later, whom would always be missed by the ninjas of Konoha, as it was soon after torn apart by the violation that Kakuzu was going to perform on Naruto, said blonde ninja was on his way out of town as fast as possible, knowing that they'd hurt anyone in town if they stuck around.
Coming upon a park in the center of the city, Naruto paled seeing a plant open up, and expose a black and white head inside, that simply smiled at him. "You are not ready yet, we will have a feast of you later. But would you mind watering us a little?"
Naruto grabbed the watering can and sprinkled it at the base of the plant man, wondering if he might have hit his head somewhere along the way, or if all the running around had finally made his poor malnourished mind snap into itty bitty pieces. After he set the can back down he started walking away from the bi-chromatic flower guy, Naruto walked away to find a white rabbit to follow again. "Thank you Naruto, I'm Zetsu, and I'll enjoy eating you another time!"
As Naruto wandered away from the park, he felt a prescience following him, one he'd felt before, and dreaded every moment of it. Turning around he found himself standing face to face with a familiar pierced orange haired man. "Hello Naruto, I'm hear to pierce you."
