Chapter 17-Conflict with Interest

Tayuya stood leaning against the door of the Master Bedroom of the Namikaze Estate, knowing her job as the maid of the house required her to wait until the Master of it, who was Namikaze Naruto had granted permission for his servant to enter, and clean the room should it be messy. Of course, it was almost messy every single day, as Naruto had been very busy with the girls living in his house, in that bedroom, day in, day out, and even now was getting it on with the newest addition to the family.

How did Tayuya know? She had ears of course and could hear the sounds of the sexual romp going on behind those doors. It wasn't the first time she heard them either, as she had heard them when Naruto was with Haku, Tenten, Temari, and possibly that Hyuuga chick Hinata.

The platinum blonde Yamanaka was still on the fence in Tayuya's mind, but not for long if the looks the girl kept giving Naruto was any indication, and knew it wouldn't be long before the redhead was overwhelmed by all this sex they were getting.

Oh the fuck was she kidding! She was already overwhelmed!

"Harder Naruto-kun! Fuck me harder Naruto-kun! Please!" said Kurama Yakumo, as she cried out in pleasure that reached Tayuya's ears, and made the girl blush the color equal to her red hair.

'We need more servants to help me with this shit,' thought Tayuya, as she would try to recruit Kin, but the Nara Clan Heir had somehow roped her friend into his service, and was now helping around the Nara household.

What Tayuya didn't know was Shikamaru didn't want a servant, but the boy's Mother saw this as an opportunity to have a girl around her son, and possibly get some Grandchildren out of it in the near future. If Tayuya ever met Nara Yoshino, she would know the fierce Chuunin of a woman was never going to let Kin go, and lose the chance to whip her son into shape using the former Sound Shinobi to get him to settle down quickly.

"Damn Yakumo-chan, I'm going to cum!" said Naruto, as his voice slightly deep now, and Tayuya knew that was the demonic part of him coming out due to Kyuubi.

"Cum in me Naruto-kun! Give me your all!" said Yakumo, as she loved her knew body, and the stamina it provided after the seal on it was removed with help from the physical therapy from the Hokage.

"Yakumo-chan!" said Naruto, as he let out a mighty roar, and came inside of Yakumo, and the young woman cried out in pleasure with her own orgasm hitting hard like the others before them.

'Finally, I thought they'd never stop,' thought Tayuya, as they had been at it for over two hours now, screwing each others brains out, and celebrating the end of nearly two weeks worth of physical therapy after Yakumo got her body to its proper state.

"Tayuya! You can stop hiding behind the door," said Naruto called out and made Tayuya blush further in the implication she was some kind of pervert!

'He's lucky I can't retaliate because I would so kick him in the nuts right now,' thought Tayuya, as she opened the door slightly, and let herself in before shutting it.

When she turned around, Tayuya's blush of anger mixed with embarrassment turned entirely into embarrassment, as she saw Naruto get out of the bed, naked after having just fucked the fox girl glowing on the bed, and could smell the strong scent of sex in the air. While Tayuya would never admit it, she was a bit envious of all the girls in Naruto's life, as they seemed to loved by him in every sense of the word, and not just physically either though it was apparent he gave them all quite a bit in that department.

"I need you to help Yakumo-chan shower when she wakes up before taking the sheets down to the washer and to tell the other girls I have a mission to the Land of Sea. The Daimyo there needs our help with some sort of sea monster there and how its destroying ships filled with gold on them," said Naruto, as he headed to the bathroom to shower, and then get dressed for the mission.

'A few days without hearing and smelling sex in this house? Hallelujah!' thought Tayuya, as she was feeling weird in places from it all, and the fact Naruto had made sure she saw his thing between his legs whenever he had the chance after screwing one of the other girls.

"Who's going with you?" said Tayuya, as she was sure Naruto wasn't going alone, and someone was going to keep an eye on him should this monster be more then he could handle.

"One of dad's mates Mitarashi Anko. She has some past history there regarding a certain snake and needs to get things about it cleared up. Shino and Ino-chan are coming too since Shino can use his bugs can help track others for us in secret while Ino-chan can probe peoples minds for answers should we get stonewalled by anyone," said Naruto, as he entered the bathroom, turned on the shower, and began to wash himself clean.

'What are the chances the girl loses her virginity to you on this mission?' thought Tayuya, as she saw the steam coming out of the bathroom through the slight opening in the door, and blushed again at what the redhead believed was Naruto's invitation for her to join him.

As if she would!

After about 20 minutes, Naruto came out wearing a towel around his waist, and smirked at seeing Tayuya looking away from him knowing his upper body was making the red haired girl fight back perverted thoughts about him. Going over to his closet, Naruto had decided to dress in all black, from pants to trench coat, but had bandages wrapped around his torso instead of a shirt, and thought about taking Trickster with him for a second. But in the end, he decided not to, as he couldn't rely on his sword to do all the work for him, and let it rest against the wall.

"How do I look?" said Naruto putting on his shades and grinned wickedly at his audience.

'Sexy! Say he looks sexy!' thought a perverted area within Tayuya's mind, which the girl quickly took a shovel to, and told to shut up while hitting the perverted side repeatedly.

"You look good Naruto-kun," said Yakumo, as she had awakened for her post orgasm state, and saw her man looking ready to take on the world.

"Yeah. What she said," said Tayuya, as she didn't want to think such thoughts about him, and didn't want Naruto to know that such thoughts exist.

"Thank you. Now I have to go report for my mission. Don't forget what I said Tayuya-chan about telling the others if they don't already know," said Naruto, as he kissed Yakumo on the lips, and then Tayuya on the forehead before pinching her rear with the effect of the girl jumping at the perverted act.

"HENTAI!" yelled Tayuya with Naruto leaving the room while she shook her fist in his direction.

"You really shouldn't fight it Tayuya-chan. Considering all the cursing you do, I would think a little touching, groping, and touchy feel from Naruto-kun would be welcome to such a demanding job like yours," said Yakumo, as she rose from the bed, and quickly latched onto Tayuya while grinning at the red headed girl.

"I'm not some slutty maid he can just lay with. I still have my dignity," said Tayuya, as she helped Yakumo to the shower, and saw the girl smile mischievously at her.

'Not for long,' thought Yakumo, as she had plans for Tayuya to see things Naruto's way, and enjoy being his maid in a much more intimate manner.

By the time Tayuya realized what Yakumo had planned...it was too late.

(Land of Sea-3 Days Later)

"So this is the Land of Sea huh? Looks...depressing," said Naruto, as he looked around town to see similarities to Wave Country, and the fact people were...well in a sad funk like state.

"Must be because of their monster sinking ships, stealing gold, and taking lives of sailors on occasion in the process," said Anko since that was most likely the case.

"There she is! There's the monster!" said a person shouting with a mob soon forming to swarm over a girl not far from the group.

"Doesn't this bring back memories," said Naruto to himself, but his team heard his words nonetheless, and nodded simply because they witnessed when they were younger.

'Such illogical nonsense,' thought Shino, as he saw Naruto frowning at what they were witnessing, and move to intercept the mob from doing any further damage.

"Damn monster! Leave us alone!" said a member of the mob trying to hit the girl wearing bandages with a club he had on hand and would have hit her too if not for the whip of fire that set the weapon a flame.

"I hate people like you with all of my heart," said Naruto, as he glared daggers of death at the mob, and saw their attention was now entirely on him.

"What do you know? You're not from around here. This girl is really the horrible sea monster that's caused us so much misery over the years," said a woman with a pitchfork.

"If that were the case, she wouldn't be here, taking this crap from all of you, or be here on land for that matter," said Naruto, as he moved with blinding speed to the spot where the girl was, and knelt down to give her a once over to make sure they are were not any wounds to heal.

"She's trying to deceive us. She's a monster! An abomination!" said another member of the mob from among the crowd.

"Narrow minded fools. Perhaps you would like to fight a real monster," said Naruto, as he let Kyuubi's power flow around him, and sure enough the people ran for their lives.

"Well that's one way to scar a mob shitless," said Anko, as she saw the mob run, and cry out about another monster in their land.

"One thing I've learned about mobs Anko-chan, is that they soon find its unhealthy to be one when the 'monster' fights back, and proves to be the stronger of the two sides," said Naruto looking at his surrogate Mother, one of three actually, and then at the bandaged girl taking this opportunity to flee from him.

"Well that's rude! No thank you?" said Ino, who was shocked this girl didn't thank Naruto for saving her from the mob, and it scowled at where the victim of the mob had run off.

"When a stray dog is offered food, only to be kicked, it never accepts food from the same person twice, and will rather runaway starving before possibly being tricked twice," said Naruto, as he felt anger rise within his body, and knew it was from past memories of the Leaf's own treatment towards his person.

"I know that feeling," said Anko, as she had her fair share of scrapes, close calls, and any other brawl people tried to start in regards to the connection she had with the now late Orochimaru.

"Shino, did you put a bug on her?" said Naruto, as he saw Shino nod to his question, and they now had a means to find the girl if they needed to ask questions from her.

"I'll secure us a place to stay for the night. Ino, I need you to do a little mind invasion on some of the people that formed that mob, and find out everything you can about their intended target," said Anko, as she saw Ino nod, and head out to complete her task.

"What about us?" said Naruto knowing they couldn't do much at the moment aside from waiting.

"Just relax for a little while," said Anko, as she headed towards the motel not that far off, and rent some rooms out.

"What should we do while we wait?" said Shino, as he looked at Naruto for answers, and the Namikaze summoned a deck of cards.

"Ever play poker?" said Naruto, as he grinned at Shino, and the Aburame was hesitant to play.

'I felt a sudden disturbance in the Force,' thought Tsunade, as she shivered at the feeling of gambling in the distance, and had to fight back the urge to rise out of her chair to join in the game.

(Uchiha Household)

"Why did you give so much of our home away to the demon?" said Sasuke, as he had yet to receive a straight answer from his Mother on the subject, and saw the woman was look at him with sadness in her eyes.

"Sasuke-kun, you know why I did it. I've already explained the reason why several times! It is my way of offering reparations from our clan's for our actions against Sesshomaru-sama's adopted son Naruto and your own actions against the boy for trying to steal his sword," said Uchiha Mikoto, as she was cooking dinner, and looked at her youngest child that seemed to filled with hate even after the removal of the Cure Seal.

She had hoped such a thing's removal from her son would give Sasuke the chance to be the sweet boy he was before his Father poisoned his mind about the Uchiha Clan being the greatest in all of Konoha.

"That sword should be mine! I'm an Uchiha and so are you! Where is your pride in our elite status Mom? Why do you constantly humble yourself like this?" said Sasuke, as he saw his Mother slam the tray down on the kitchen counter, and then glare at her son in a way worthy of an Uchiha.

"Damn Sasuke! Enough! I am sick and tired of your growing arrogance over what our clan was and what you think your bloodline grants you in terms of status above others. The night your brother killed everyone else in our family, I realized that our clan was a shadow of what it could be, and why it has always been second to the Senju Clan," said Mikoto, as she saw Sasuke look away, and not meet her in the eyes.

"But why give him most of the Uchiha District?" said Sasuke, as saw his Mother sigh, and shake her head at his question.

"Because Sasuke, the Uchiha District was in ruin, and I don't want memories of the past regarding our family being massacred for whatever reason Itachi had to constantly manifest itself in my mind. It hurts to see everything destroyed, falling apart, and the shadowy images that pop up of our clansmen dead all over the place. I want the past buried behind me," said Mikoto, as she saw Sasuke looking at her angrily, and was a bit surprised by it.

"Bury the past behind you? What about Father, my Uncles, Aunts, and cousins all slain at Itachi's feet? You want to bury them in the same fashion and never look back? I won't do that to our family!" said Sasuke, as he stormed off, and made his Mother sigh heavily at the boy's response.

(With Tsunade)

"For the last time Kakashi, I'm not giving Naruto over to your team to inspire them, and have Sasuke try to learn any of my Godson's abilities with his damn Sharingan. The boy is a Chuunin now and is required to be out in the field more to bring in money from the missions to cover the expenses from repairing the village," said Tsunade, as she saw Kakashi for was third time this week, begging her to have Naruto be put on his team, and have his Chuunin status temporarily lowered back to Genin until the Jounin sensei was done with the boy.

Meaning that Kakashi wanted to milk all the knowledge out of Naruto into Sasuke.

"But it's vital that Naruto be on my team to help motivate them and help Sasuke-kun get stronger," said Kakashi, as he saw Tsunade looking less then pleased, and glaring daggers at him.

"You mean its vital the Uchiha copies whatever techniques he can from Naruto rather then work his ass off and train like the rest of us have done in the past. The answer is no Kakashi and if you come in here again I'll make sure you lose something that can't be replaced," said Tsunade, as she saw the Jounin run out of the room, and then let out a sigh before slumping back in her chair.

The Councils kept using the power they still had to try pressuring her into doing what they wanted and it was becoming a pain in her ass. Even more troublesome, was that Danzo was acting very suspicious in regards to his own "secret" operations, and certain people on the Councils were involved though they kept themselves out of knowing all that the crippled man was doing.

Trying to avoid charges of treason if they were ever caught no doubt.

Whatever the man was planning, it involved Naruto being controlled by him, and the first female Hokage was not about to let that happen anytime soon.

(Land of Sea)

"So Isaribi really is the supposed 'sea creature' everyone is up in arms about," said Naruto hoping that wasn't the case, but from what he noticed of the girl, she wasn't a monster like the people thought, and could tell something else was going on with her.

"From what Ino saw from some of the people after diving into their heads, it does appear to be the case, and Shino's bug flew off of the girl before she dived into the water after she transformed," said Anko, as she saw Naruto frown at this, and knew he wanted to give this girl the benefit of the doubt.

"I don't think she's doing this for the fun of it. Her eyes filled with guilt are telling me that much," said Naruto, as he saw the look Isaribi had when looking at her, and they were not eyes of an evil person.

They were eyes of someone who served an evil person.

Big difference.

"So she's a puppet. Someone working for someone else against her will," said Ino simply.

"If this girl is indeed the 'puppet', as you put it Naruto-san, then it only logical we have a puppeteer with the means to control her, and must find out where this person is located in order to 'severe the strings' that bind Isaribi," said Shino, as he wondered if there is any kind of bug back home that was water resistant, and to his knowledge knew none that were.

Shino made a mental note to make the inquiry later.

"And the best way for us to catch the puppeteer is to follow the strings connected to that puppet," said Anko, as she saw the trio in front of her nod their heads, and set out to find Isaribi knowing it would lead them to the girl's Master.

The next few days were painful for the group, as they had to wait awhile before seeing Isaribi again, but kept themselves at a distance so she wouldn't see them, and decided to watch from afar. Sure enough, as the days went painfully by, the group saw Isaribi come out of her shack of a home, and transform before diving into the water to no doubt meet with the person responsible for her past actions.

"Time to hunt for the big fish," said Naruto, as he grinned deviously, and leaped into the air while looking down at the water below seeing Isaribi's movements with his beyond human eyesight.

Fortunately, one of the things Sesshomaru had taught him was how to glide through the air for long periods of time, and with water walking made it the closest thing to flying without being detected. Even if Isaribi could detect him for a moment, she would have to assume it was a bird, or something else that was touching the water's surface for a brief second.

On his back, Ino was blushing quite a bit at feeling so much muscle, and was starting to have perverted thoughts run through her head. If both her parents ever found out about such thoughts, they'd either lock Ino away until she was in her late teens, or have heart attacks knowing that their little girl was acting like such a pervert.

'No! Bad Ino! I better keep such thoughts at bay for now. The last thing I need to do is get too horny around Naruto-kun that I can't concentrate,' thought Ino, as she focused on the water around her, and looking for any other kind of movement besides Isaribi's shadowy form underneath the water's surface.

"Anko, she's headed towards what looks like a cave further away from the town," said Naruto into his radio headset towards the Special Jounin.

"We're on our way. We're at Orochimaru-teme's old base he used here when I was just a gaki and I think my memories are slowly returning. Keep your eye out for anything weird. I'm willing bet about a Month's worth of dango that this girl's Master has other puppets more willing to get their hands dirty," said Anko with her voice coming into the receiver in his ear.

"If this guy is a mad scientist, then that is most likely the case, and we're going to have a little fun on this trip after all," said Naruto grinning happily at getting a chance to rip this crazy jerk apart.

"Just save some for me when you get there," said Anko, as she wanted some fun on this trip too, and didn't want her surrogate son to have all of it on this mission.

"No promises. Naruto out," said Naruto, as he landed on a nearby rock, and then leaped towards the entrance of the cliff before landing on top of it.

Making their way into the cave, Naruto let out a small growl at the smell of the laboratory equipment filled with chemicals, the stench of bodies that had died in this place, and the nonhuman like smells coming from the creatures spawned from the death of the failed experiments. It sickened him to no end and the Namikaze decided that he was going to make this poor excuse for a human being suffer slowly before letting Anko have a go at him.

If the bad guy was indeed a he and not a she.

"What's the plan?" said Ino, as she saw Naruto flexing his clawed hands, and knew the young Chuunin was getting ready for a fight.

"We need to save Isaribi and take down the one controlling her. I'll go in first to flush the two out. When she comes into view, I want you to possess Isaribi before using her body to get yours out of here, and somewhere safe on dry land," said Naruto, as he saw Ino nod, and knew the girl had taken her training more seriously since the Chuunin Exams.

"What if she can resist my Mind Possession Jutsu?" said Ino in a whisper since there were certain cases where people had resisted her clan's Jutsu before.

"Then I'll knock her out so you can both get out of here before I bring this place down on itself," said Naruto, as he knew this place could not exist after today, and decided to do something about it in his own fashion.

"Right!" said Ino, as she walked with him to a larger area of the cave where the smell of the experiments was the strongest, and saw a man in a lab coat glaring at Isaribi with clear displeasure on his face.

"Why is it so difficult for you to do your job? Honestly, you just have to sink a few ships filled with gold, and then bring it back here! So what if a few people die at sea? Its not like such a thing is rare!" said the man, as he looked ready to slap Isaribi across the face, and make the girl do what was asked of her.

"Because its wrong! I'm not a murderer. You just need the gold. What purpose does it serve to kill people just for that?" said Isaribi, as she could tolerate the stealing of gold, but the death of so sailors on the ships was not, and hated to do such a thing.

"What purpose? They're potential witnesses! If they see you take the gold, they'll report it, and then try to find out why the gold is being taken. I need the gold to help fund my experiments here since Orochimaru cut my funding for this base of operations and if the rumors are true about his demise then it means I can't use my new pets to get my own revenge on him for abandoning my research," said the not so good doctor looking at the cages nearby filled with hungry demonic beasts.

"It's still wrong Amachi!" said Isaribi, as she saw the man now named Amachi scoff at her like it wasn't any different then using one hand over the other, and was taking things to seriously.

"Then I suppose my promise to cure you of your transformation is wrong too. Since the gold you steal for me, also helps fund research into a cure, and thus prevent you from being a normal person," said Amachi mockingly, which made Isaribi nervous, and she seemed to shrivel up in fear at such a life being what she was now.

"I don't know what sickens me more. What your doing in the name of the human race or that you're part of the human race?" said Naruto walking out of the shadows while secretly singling Ino to stay in them so she could be his ace in the hole.

"Who are you?" said Amachi, as he saw Isaribi was shocked in seeing the boy, and take a step back in fear of him.

"Someone, who doesn't like you, or your methods," said Naruto, as he saw Amachi laugh at him, and it was pissing the Namikaze off.

"I'm so scared. You think a mere Shinobi from the Leaf can take me? Fool! With my research, I've been able to do unimaginable, and incredible things! I'm even responsible for creating these demons around us and I'm going to set them upon the town nearby to test their potential before I make more to conquer the rest of the Elemental Countries!" said Amachi, as he let out a mad scientist laugh, and then it a button on the wall opening the cages to his demons.

"Really? Well that's interesting because I've got a demon sealed inside of me, and he's the meanest demon on the block right now with the exception of my dad," said Naruto, as he let Kyuubi's chakra out so the mad doctor's mutated experiments soon cowered under its dominant presence in the room.

"Your damn right I am!" said Kyuubi within Naruto.

"What are you doing? Obey me! I am your Master. KILL HIM!" said Amachi while he pointed at Naruto, who was keeping the mad scientist, and the demonic creations on him while Ino silently grabbed Isaribi before they left for the cave exit.

"I have a better idea. I order you all...TO DIE!" said Naruto, as he made a fire whip, and set the mad scientist along with his experiments on fire.

The equipment around him also caught on fire too, which was in a sense a bad thing, as the flammable chemicals in the room had explosive potential if exposed to fire for too long, and Naruto had to move in a bit of a hurry to escape it. Sure enough, as Naruto leaped out of the cave, a massive explosion occurred behind him, and destroyed the lab along with mad scientist with it.

"I thought you were going to save something for me?" said Anko with a whine at not being able to do a little demolition.

"And I said no promises," said Naruto, as he saw Anko look a little sheepish, and then Shino looking at him.

"Anko-san ended her transmission before you could reply," said Shino seeing Anko glare at him for stating that little fact.

"Well I said it and Ino's a witness," said Naruto smugly while seeing Anko mumble about "blondes being a pain in her ass about being right" and saw Ino not far with Isaribi on dry land talking.

Well...more like arguing really.

"Don't you know what that idiot has done? Now I'm forced to be this creature forever! I'll always be hated for being this sea monster and the pain won't stop because of it," said Isaribi in tear now at losing her possible one and only chance to be fully human again.

"I highly doubt he was going to cure you Isaribi-san. From what I saw and heard it was clear the psycho was lying," said Naruto, as he along with the rest of the team landed behind him, and saw the girl glaring daggers at him.

"What do you know? He was the only one capable of curing my condition and now he's dead!" said Isaribi, as she slapped Naruto across the face, and got shocked looks from those around her.

"Are you done? Are you finished?" said Naruto with a neutral tone in his voice.

"Bastard!" said Isaribi, as she moved to slap him again, but Naruto caught it, and looked her dead in the eyes with his now crimson ones.

"Snap out of it! You really think that fool was going to cure you Isaribi-san? Doing so went against his whole reason for you even serving him! The only way for him to get the gold off those ships was you and that meant tangling such an idea of cure in front of your face. He knew the idea would keep you obedient to his wishes and used it to make sure that any kind of defiance was quashed! Did you see all those creature of his locked away in cages? They were what he spent that research on. Not you!" said Naruto, as he needed to give the girl a harsh reality check, and knock some sense into her.

"You're lying! You're lying!" said Isaribi with tears running down her face and knew the truth behind the lies was hurting on a deep level.

"I wish I were. Truth isn't always milk and honey. However, I know someone in the Leaf, who can try to do what Amachi wouldn't, and possibly fix some part of what he did to you," said Naruto seeing the girl crying and looking at him while the tears flowed freely.

"How can I be sure its not a trick?" said Isaribi, as she couldn't take being lied to a second time, and saw Naruto smirking at her.

"Because the woman I'm talking about is the best damn doctor in all the Elemental Countries and is also the Hokage of the Leaf. Senju Tsunade herself," said Naruto seeing the girl's eyes light up, as she had heard of the woman, but didn't know the Sannin had become the Hokage of the Leaf, and that this boy had a direct connection to the woman.

"But...what if she can't cure me?" said Isaribi knowing that while the woman was the best, it didn't mean Tsunade could cure girl's body, and prevent any further problems from popping up that Amachi never spoke of during their strained time together.

"At least you tried Isaribi-san," said Naruto knowing this girl was going to get a lot of fuss from the Councils too since they'll want to know about possible ways to transfer this ability into other Shinobi for future attacks on Mist.

"What do we tell the people in town? Logically, they will want proof of what we tell them, even if it is a lie, and that won't be easy with the evidence now destroyed," said Shino seeing Isaribi become worried since the people would want to see her dead body and if the Leaf Shinobi couldn't deliver...?

"We won't lie to them. We'll tell them the truth and that we're taking Isaribi with us back to Konoha. If they don't like it, then I say tough shit, and they can kiss the sexiest side of my ass!" said Anko making Ino and Isaribi blush at her vulgar ways.

"Don't let dad know you said that," said Naruto making Anko pale slightly knowing what it would mean for her if Sesshomaru heard those words.

No sex for a Month. No holding her lover at night and feeling bliss just from being with him. The horror of it all!

"Not a word from any of you," said Anko quickly seeing Shino give a brief nod while the two girls nodded quickly and Naruto...well he had the "evil look of doom" in his eyes now aimed at her.

"I'll consider keeping quiet...for a price," said Naruto seeing Anko fuming at him.

"For a price? Why you little...! Come here!" said Anko chasing Naruto around in a circle around the group though it was clear that the boy was too fast for the Special Jounin.

"Are they always like this?" said Isaribi, as she saw Naruto making a face at Anko, and the woman responded by summoning a large snake to help in the pursuit of the boy.

"Anko is Naruto's surrogate Mother. One of several. Though we can explain that later since its complicated," said Shino, as he saw Naruto outmaneuver the large snake into tying itself into a knot, and then dodge Anko's "pounce of doom" with the Special Jounin now eating dirt.

"Its going to be a long trip back, huh?" said Isaribi, as she saw Anko wave the white flag of surrender, and knew when to stop fighting someone with more energy then herself.

"Yeah. It will be, but in a good way," said Ino, as she along with Shino explained what Konoha was like, and that being different wasn't considered a bad thing in the Leaf.

For the most part.

(Hokage Tower-Several Days Later)

"Congratulations on your mission being a success guys," said Shizune, as she was with Tsunade hearing how the mission was a success, and was sadden by the events that led to Isaribi's path in serving a twisted person.

On the plus side, Anko was finally able to get her memories back while exploring the base Orochimaru had used prior to the one Amachi chose on another part of the Sea Country, and now knew without question what happened back then.

"Yeah. The people in town were more difficult to handle before and after we completed the mission. They didn't like the fact Isaribi was alive and another mob almost formed to attack her," said Naruto, as he explained how the people shouted how Isaribi should have known better, and still deserved to be punished.

"Well, they don't know their head from their ass, and are in another country so we'll leave them alone for now," said Tsunade, as she didn't want to deal with arrogant bigots from another country when she had the village's own, and they were presently being a pain in the ass while trying to fight for the power they stole.

"I agree. Besides, Isaribi is the one requiring your full attention since she's kind of hoping for a means to have whatever Amachi-teme did to her can be reversed, and be a normal person again," said Naruto, as he told Isaribi that its not the physical body that counts, but the soul inside the body, and accepted the girl regardless of the outcome.

"Well unfortunately, it won't be easy since the man's research notes went up in smoke after the explosion you caused Naruto, and I'll have to start from scratch. Still, given the way things are in Konoha are in with the Councils, its probably for the best, and they don't demand some kind of duplication of the process," said Tsunade, as she knew there was some good to come of the bad news of losing Amachi's research, but the female Hokage highly doubted the man kept such material, or he would have made the cure for it already.

If anything, Tsunade believed Amachi had no clue how to cure Isaribi any more then the Slug Princess herself did, and wouldn't hold her breath for anything in the notes Amachi may have had if place on the desk.

"Like that's ever stopped you from a challenge before Granny," said Naruto seeing the tick mark on Tsunade's face for calling her that.

"Damn it brat! Don't call me that name. As for you Isaribi, just follow Shizune to the hospital so she can give a proper checkup, and give me some foundation to work with later on," said Tsunade, as she saw the girl nod, turn around to leave, but stopped to face Naruto, and looked a tad...shy?

"I'm sorry I slapped you back in Sea Country and calling you a bastard," said Isaribi, as she felt so embarrassed in doing that, and saw Naruto just smile back at her.

"Water under the bridge," said Naruto patting the girl's shoulder.

"Thank you...Naruto-kun," said Isaribi before kissing him on the cheek and then running off with Shizune right behind her.

"What is it with you and these girls? You're not doing something perverted are you?" said Tsunade giving him the "Tell me everything for I am your Godmother" stare.

"I don't know. I'm just being me," said Naruto, as he smirked at Tsunade, and saw Ino had glared at the trail Isaribi left behind.

"I'm sure," said Tsunade, as she saw Anko looking out the window, and saw the desire to be with her lover.

"Your Godmother is cranky because she hasn't got any in so long. Someone needs to clean out her pipes!" said Kyuubi and laughed at the female Hokage's expense.

"Well, the mission is a success. I'll expect a written report from both you in the next few days. Oh by the way Anko, you'll be pleased to know Sesshomaru has returned home with little Rin, and she's most anxious to meet her new Mother," said Tsunade, as Rin had already met Shizune, and Kurenai with Sesshomaru explaining the taking of multiple mates so the girl could have multiple Mothers to help raise her.

Rin's eyes just lit up with joy since it just meant more people to love.

"Thanks Hokage-sama. Hold on Rin-chan, your new mommy is coming home to squeeze the stuffing out of you, and your hot stud of a Father!" said Anko after jumping out the window.

"Well at least she'll be more manageable now with her memories fully restored," said Tsunade knowing the woman could act crazy at times.

"What did you expect? She is my Mother after all," said Naruto proudly.

"Yeah, I can see the family resemblance," said Tsunade knowing the two did act a lot alike at times.

Made you wonder.

(Akatsuki HQ)

"Report," said Pein, as the other eight projections around him activated, and the members of the Akatsuki were in front of the other.

"It is as our spies reported. Suna is a shadow of its former self. It if wasn't for the fact the village was in a cruel desert in Wind Country, they would have invaded them by now, and destroyed Suna completely," said Itachi, as Suna was too weak to even be considered a major Shinobi village anymore, and Sabaku no Gaara was now a member of the Leaf with the Kyuubi vessel.

"The playing field has shifted dangerously. The only hidden villages at the moment now with just one demon vessel are Waterfall and Mist. However, Waterfall's vessel holds the seven-tailed best, and is by no means weak. The village itself is hard to locate and we cannot spend too many resources finding Waterfall just to locate its demon vessel," said Pein knowing this turn of events was unexpected and didn't like it one bit.

"What is the situation in Mist?" said Pein to his female partner Konan.

"The people are planning to overthrow the Mizukage and will most likely succeed soon within the next few years. Though the six-tailed vessel has left Mist and his whereabouts are currently unknown at the moment," said Konan in her usual calm voice that had a hidden edge to it that told others not to cross the woman.

"We'll begin our search for him soon. What of the two vessels in Kumo and the other two in Iwa?" said Pein looking over at Deidara.

The two from my village decided to go into exile to master the power of their demons and the two in Kumo are staying put. Not surprising since eight-tailed is rumored to be the Raikage's younger brother. I've also heard he's fully mastered his demon. That could be a problem, yeah?" said Deidara, as he knew a developing demon vessel wouldn't be a problem, but someone with full mastery of such power was something else, and being the brother of a Kage meant such a person was no pushover.

"So we know the exact location of five out of nine demon vessels with the remaining four lost to us. How do we proceed?" said Kisame looking at Pein for direction.

"Simple. We capture the ones we know and hunt for the ones we do not," said Pein seeing the others nod in agreement.

"When do we go after them?" said Kisame since he was hungry for battle.

"In three years. That's when everything will be set in motion. It will give us time to look for the remaining four and recruit potential members to our organization," said Pein, as the group nodded, and then their projections vanished.

They had work to do.

(Omake-Naruto's Welcome Home!)

"Naruto-sama!" said Tayuya, as she hugged her Master, and gave him a massive kiss right on the lips that surprised the Namikaze greatly.

Looking over at Ino to see the platinum blonde had not possessed the redhead, Naruto raised an eyebrow at the girl, and saw Yakumo behind her smiling deviously.

"I take it you had a hand in this?" said Naruto, as he was soon bombarded by kisses from Tayuya, and sensing Ino fuming at the sight.

"Who? Me? No. No. Of course not! I am innocent in all of this. I would nev-okay I did," said Yakumo seeing the sight of Tayuya clinging to Naruto while rubbing her body up against him.

"And what exactly did you do?" said Naruto, as he didn't mind the attention, but he would prefer it wasn't forced, and was natural.

"Right after you left the room for your mission, Tayuya helped me into the shower, and I kind of put a Genjutsu on her where she was being molested by a whole army of you. Just some groping, touching, and making her orgasm repeatedly from the many images of you I had do that for the past couple of days. What? I did it to myself too and I've never felt better!" said Yakumo walking over to Naruto and doing a little groping of her own.

"So how do I get Tayuya to act normally? Or is this normal?" said Naruto, as he wanted Tayuya to be herself, and not just this person before him.

"Its normal now. She cracked after I did it to her a third time and couldn't get enough of you in the Genjutsu. Also, the other girls got involved too, and you may be confined to the bed for awhile," said Yakumo seeing Naruto raise an eyebrow before looking at the others above and seeing them looking at him with hungry lust filled eyes.

"What about me?" said Ino before seeing Yakumo turn to her and put the girl in the same Genjutsu that Tayuya was hit with.

"You'll get your time with him when you're ready. For now enjoy this Genjutsu until you are," said Yakumo giggling at seeing Ino's face become overwhelmed with bliss before she along with Tayuya escorted Naruto upstairs for a nice welcome home party done in the way of an incredible sex orgy.

It was good to be a Namikaze.

Giddity!
