Chapter 7-Retaliation
Naruto sighed happily at the feeling of the hot springs taking care of his aching and tired body this particular morning. He had been training his girls extensively yesterday. Not only that, but educating Musubi was not as easy as one would assume in terms of what one should, and should not do. For one, it took a while to properly explain to Musubi that she should not talk to people outside of her fellow Sekirei sisters winged by him about his abilities. Musubi thought he should share his power with the world, but Naruto explained to the naive, yet hope filled woman that the last time someone tried such an action...it did not exactly have a positive effect with the world at large.
Also, Naruto had to spend time helping Tsukiumi adjust to her new situation in being one of five Sekirei in his flock, and her instance that she be considered the "true wife" among them. After their "wedding night", which he learned Tsukiumi was a bit of screamer, it had taken a considerable bit of effort on his part to prevent an all out brawl. Something Tsukiumi, Uzume, Akitsu, and Musubi wanted to have to determine who was the most favored while Matsu was hiding behind the couch since she was not the fighting type. He had to threaten to punish each of them with something they disliked if they didn't behave and respect one another in regards to being with him.
While they all agreed to obey, it was difficult for them as a whole since they each wanted to have special intimate alone time with him. They didn't mind the Shadow Clones of the man, but each one was needy in a sense, and they secretly preferred the genuine article over the copies.
"Ah...Master," whispered Akitsu, as she entered the hot springs naked without any hint of shame regarding her body, and entered the water with a wash cloth in hand.
"Hello Akitsu. And yes you can wash my back since you were here first," replied Naruto since he knew why Akitsu was here and saw the ice Sekirei's face perking up a bit before proceeding to wash his well muscled back lovingly.
"Hey no fair! I wanted to wash Naruto-sama's back," whined Musubi while entering the hot springs and pouting at seeing Akitsu beat her here first.
"Ah...I was here first," remarked Akitsu while moving closer to Naruto to keep his entire back all to herself while washing it.
"I call front!" exclaimed Uzume before moving around Musubi and began to sit in front of Naruto with a lecherous grin on her face.
"Me too!" exclaimed Matsu, who was on the other side of Naruto's front while giggling perversely.
"Hey! I want to wash Naruto-sama's front too!" protested Musubi since she felt her being denied to wash Naruto's body because the others were taking key spots was unfair.
"Then get over here silly. Akitsu will just have to share Naruto-tan's back," replied Matsu while Akitsu glared at the red head over her Master's shoulder.
"Ah...you'll pay for that," remarked Akitsu while giving Matsu an evil eye.
'Scary,' thought Matsu while sensing a chill of foreboding at what the ice Sekirei would do to her.
"Please Akitsu! Let me wash Naruto-sama's back with you!" pleaded Musubi using her puppy dog eyes with a hint of tears moments away from escaping and running down the girl's face.
"Ah...we can share. But I get to wash Master's butt," said Akitsu with Musubi frowning a bit, but nodded since the ice Sekirei had been there first, and claimed the majority of their shared Ashikabi...she really couldn't refuse.
"All right," replied Musubi before sitting beside the ice Sekirei and the two proceeded to clean Naruto's body.
"This is nice. Nothing could ruin this moment," commented Matsu while loving the feel of her Ashikabi's abs, arms, chest, and if she were to slide her hands further south...!
"What do thou strumpets think thee are doing with my husband?!" demanded Tsukiumi after she walked into the hot springs and saw the others washing his body.
That was her job and duty as Naruto's one true wife. Not them!
"We are washing Naruto-sama's body," replied Musubi simply while not understanding the angry blonde woman's reason for looking so hostile.
"I can see that thy concubine! What I want to know is why all of thee are doing what I, his real wife should be doing right now in cleaning him?" demanded Tsukiumi while standing in one of her tsundere poses trying to intimidate the other four into removing themselves from her husband's body.
Which was hard to do since she was also naked like the rest of them.
"Hey! Lay off Tsukiumi. All of us are Naruto's wives," replied Uzume while Tsukiumi glared at her.
"I will do no such thing. I am Naruto's real wife and it is the duty of the real wife to tend to my husband's every need," stated Tsukiumi imperiously at them and walked into the water with a wet cloth in hand.
"How can you be the real wife when you were only just winged by him recently?" asked Uzume with her hands now on her hips while Tsukiumi smirked.
"Because through my husband winging me and his love for me...I am now the strongest of all of you," declared Tsukiumi with a smile and even her teeth letting out a small shine in the process.
"Wait! What are you even basing this on?" asked Matsu curiously.
"I am the strongest fighter here. I already outrank this one with the cloth ability and this battle loving loggerhead. You are no fighter Sekirei # 02 so your rank holds no authority over me," declared Tsukiumi while seeing her fellow sisters puff out their cheeks in anger at what was just said.
"That's...not entirely accurate Tsukiumi," said Naruto while Tsukiumi froze at hearing his words.
"Husband! Surely you are not saying I am not the strongest here?!" protested Tsukiumi while Naruto smiled lovingly at her.
"Not at all. I think that you are the strongest one here when it comes to your mastery over water. Same with Uzume and her cloth manipulation. Matsu with her computer hacking. Musubi in close range combat. And Akitsu for her manipulation over ice," said Naruto calmly while Tsukiumi looked confused and slightly angry.
"I know I am the strongest when it comes to my power. But thou basically decreed all of us equal in terms of being with you. Surely there is one among us who is favored above all of us. If only just a little," challenged Tsukiumi with the others now listening intently to what she said and waited for Naruto's response.
As for Naruto, he didn't want to answer that question since it meant favoritism with one Sekirei over the other four in the room. It would hurt them knowing that while he loved each of them dearly...one would be favored above all the others.
"I don't wish to answer that question," replied Naruto while Tsukiumi got in front of him and glared.
"I wish to know. Surely the answer is me?" questioned Tsukiumi hopefully with Naruto sighing since he didn't like how the woman wanted to assert her authority early on here as the "Superior Bird" among this flock.
"Do all of you wish to know?" asked Naruto with the girls nodding.
"It doesn't matter to me personally. I mean, we still love you and we know you still love us. Its Tsukiumi here who has issues on who is favored by your more," replied Uzume with Tsukiumi glaring and growling at her.
"I do not have issues! I merely wish to resolve the nagging question of who is the true wife among us and prove that I am that person due to my unmatched strength and rank!" stated Tsukiumi with a childish pout and tsundere pose to match her tone.
"Okay. First, I do love you all equally. Do not think for one second that I don't. Second, if I did decide to choose between the five of you as to who is my favorite...the answer to this mystery would be...Akitsu," replied Naruto with the four Sekirei around him looking at the fifth that was Akitsu, who was blushing at his words, and felt the desire to puff out her chest with pride at his words.
She had been secretly favored by her Master above the other four here.
"Her?! The ice strumpet? The only one among us here who forgets to wear panties when dressed every single time?!" demanded Tsukiumi since she was sure her rank and power would make Naruto see she was the favored above them all.
"You're one to talk about wearing panties Tsukiumi. Considering you flash everyone in sight when the wind kicks up," remarked Uzume with a smirk and made the water Sekirei target her next.
"Silence! Thou are a harlot with no sense of shame or modesty. Your very attire when it is time for a Sekirei battle is the most revealing of us all!" countered Tsukiumi while she pointed at Uzume, who smirked at back at her.
"True, but never once did I ever flash my panties to anyone except our Ashikabi. What's your excuse?" challenged Uzume with Tsukiumi blushing and sputtering.
"Shameless whore!" exclaimed Tsukiumi angrily while making the water around her move about violently and Naruto sighing.
"All right! Enough! No more name calling. You are sisters in this family," commented Naruto with Tsukiumi glowering at Uzume before turning to him.
"Thou still hasn't explained why the ice woman is favored above all us. Including me husband," remarked Tsukiumi while trying to ignore the fact Akitsu was still washing Naruto's back.
"Because if it wasn't for Akitsu, I wouldn't have come to Shinto Teito. I wouldn't have met or winged any of you. In a way, Akitsu's actions in searching for a way to be winged helped bring us all together, and she deserves to be thanked for it," replied Naruto while Akitsu continued to blush at his praise and it increased when the others looked at her too.
"Ah...your welcome," said Akitsu while she worked on cleaning her Ashikabi's body.
"Still, it does not mean she is thy true wife," countered Tsukiumi in an act of defiance.
"Actually Tsukiumi, by your own logic...Akitsu is the true wife among us," said Matsu with Tsukiumi looking like she had been smacked right in the face.
"And what is that suppose to mean? Explain post haste?!" demanded Tsukiumi angrily while her hair moved around like it was alive.
"Well, you did mention how almost all of us earlier were either weaker then you power wise, or outranked by you via our given numbers. But you never mentioned Akitsu. She was winged by Naruto-tan first. Meaning she was 'married' to him first and is his first 'wife' in regards to all of us. Not only that, but she is no longer scrapped, and can retain her actual number, which is # 07 in terms of rank. A number which outranks yours and her power level is not only stronger then ours, but can negate your own with ease," said Matsu with Tsukiumi looking floored by her words.
"But...But that's...I...I...husband...?" questioned Tsukiumi while feeling her ego taking a major hit and feared her position among them would mean Naruto would not love her as much.
"Its all right Tsukiumi. Come here," replied Naruto with Tsukiumi being held by him much to the dislike of the others with the exception of Akitsu since she knew her place was at the top.
"Why does she get comfort and not us?" asked Uzume since she felt a little slighted by the fact Tsukiumi was being hugged.
The blonde woman had been calling them harlots, whores, and concubines for awhile now.
"Because Tsukiumi-chan is afraid. She won't admit it to anyone because of her pride, but we all know she is afraid of being considered less then everyone here in my eyes. You have to remember, up until a few days ago, Tsukiumi had this belief that all Ashikabi are perverted fiends, who use Sekirei for their own sexual pleasure, and don't care about for your well being," replied Naruto while petting Tsukiumi's hair lovingly.
"But you ARE a perverted fiend. The only difference between you and the other Ashikabi out there is you actually love us," said Uzume while smirking playfully at him.
"True, but Tsukiumi is still coming to terms with being wrong. She also fears that I will throw her away because of what happened leading up to everything. Hence why my poor sweet panty flashing Sekirei has been trying to make herself the leader so her value will not decrease in my eyes. Am I correct Tsukiumi?" said Naruto with Tsukiumi reluctantly nodding since it was all true.
"Ah...Master won't discard us. Never," stated Akitsu before kissing his shoulder lovingly while loving the feel of his body.
"So does this mean Tsukiumi-tan is going to stop calling us harlots, wenches, whores, and concubines?" asked Matsu while Tsukiumi huffed.
"The ice one I will accept as my better, but not the rest of thee. As far as I am concerned, I am the second strongest here among us. But mark my words and mark them well, for one day I will prove myself worthy of being called my husband's supreme wife," said Tsukiumi with the other girls, except Akitsu, and Naruto himself sweat drop at how her tsundere like mind work.
"Well you can't say she's not ambitious," remarked Naruto with a chuckle while Akitsu narrowed her eyes challengingly at Tsukiumi.
The ice Sekirei was not giving up her position as the Master's favorite without a fight.
"Can we get back to washing your back now Naruto-sama?" asked Musubi at last with Naruto nodding before making several clones of himself.
"Yes Musubi, but now ALL of you can wash me. But to keep the peace here, Tsukiumi and Akitsu will share me today," replied Naruto with the girls nodding.
"I will best thee one day for the right to be called Naruto's one true wife," said Tsukiumi to Akitsu while she cleaned the front of him.
"Ah...good luck. You will need it," replied Akitsu while accepting the challenge and was moving her hands washing Naruto's back further south.
She loved to grope her Master's buns of steel.
(With Higa-Sometime Later)
Higa was not an idiot. Far from it. He prided himself on being one of the smartest, if not THE smartest people in Shinto Teito. Minaka didn't count because the man was crazy and actually tolerated the Sekirei race to live to find their Ashikabi. Absurd! If anything, Higa would have preferred to either enslave or kill the entire freakish race off, and claim all of the technology from them for his company's personal gain.
Unfortunately, Minaka found them first, and was dictating policy on how they should be managed with this insane game that was his creation.
"Are you sure you wish to do this Higa-sama? Confront Dr. Namikaze now without any solid proof is not like you," remarked Kakizaki while Higa glanced at him.
"I have more then enough evidence Kakizaki. It is no coincidence that the good Doctor doesn't come back to work after his lunch break and later that day one Uzumaki Naruto wings Sekirei # 09. Kochou has footage from various cameras show Dr. Namikaze and Sekirei # 09 talking to each other before they walk off together into an alley," replied Higa, as he could easily put all of the pieces together, and now suspected Dr. Namikaze was indeed Uzumaki Naruto.
This time Higa would make sure this man couldn't do anything when provoked and in his office when the time came.
"He is here," remarked Kochou off to the side while seeing the man enter the elevator through the security cameras of the building.
"Are the security measures in place?" asked Higa with Kakizaki nodding.
"Awaiting your signal with the touch of a button Higa-sama," replied Kakizaki while seeing Toyotama and Ichiya both eager for a second fight after they had been defeated so easily by their target.
"Good," said Higa while waiting for Menma...Naruto...whoever he was to come through that door.
Sure enough, the double doors opened up to allow Dr. Namikaze to enter the room, and for the (currently) red haired man to sit down in the chair across from Higa. It was clear to Higa that his employee in front of him was far from normal despite the man hiding it supremely well. Toyotama and Ichiya were indeed tense from the mere sight of the man with their memory of how easily he bested them the last time they were all together. Even Kochou was squirming discreetly while she looked at the man and it was clear the Brain Sekirei could see something the others did not.
"Higa-san, I am surprised to hear that you wanted to meet with me in person. I am quite honored by this," said Naruto politely while ignoring Ichiya and Toyotama standing on either side of the man.
"Dr. Namikaze, thank you for seeing me on such short notice. Kakizaki has told me much about you since becoming a member of the staff at the hospital I own. I just had to meet the man behind the Doctor's coat," replied Higa with a fake smile that Naruto easily saw through for the hollow welcome it truly was.
"He's too kind. You really give me too much credit Kakizaki-san," replied Naruto while glancing at Kakizaki, who was standing beside a sitting Kochou.
"I only tell Higa-sama the truth Dr. Namikaze," said Kakizaki while keeping himself civil in the presence of this strange man.
"Judging from the three additional people in this room, you clearly suspect me of being more then I truly am," said Naruto while sensing the emotional state of the three Sekirei around him currently a mix of nervousness from one and anger from the other two.
"Its really nothing to be worried about Dr. Namikaze. Its just...I don't think you are being entirely honest with me about yourself. I want you to be honest with me. To share things with me. After all, I am your Boss here at my company, and I find it is always healthy for my employees if they share everything with me," replied Higa with the man in front of him glancing at his Sekirei again and then finally at Kakizaki with a brief flicker to the more nervous Kochou.
"Something tells me you already know everything. Or most of everything there is to know about me thanks to the lady sitting in that chair beside Kakizaki-san. A Brain Sekirei in her own right. Not as strong as say Sekirei # 02 Matsu, but still pretty good in her own right. Though from the way Kakizaki and you treat her...the potential the woman has locked away will continue to stay locked away long before this game ends," replied Naruto with a smirk on his face.
"So I was right. You do know about the Sekirei Plan. Meaning you also know all about M.B.I. and what they are capable of with such advanced technology," commented Higa while his one hand currently under the desk was ready to hit a certain red button there and activate certain security measures.
"I know many things Higa-san. I know how you bribe, blackmail, and force Ashikabi to do your bidding when called upon to do a service. I know you forcibly wing Sekirei and treat them like filth unless they have some teeth to them to be used for chewing out your rivals. Even then, the two flanking your position are only treated marginally better then all the others you have in your possession due to their own...aggressive form of combat," replied Naruto calmly while Higa's eyes widened before they narrowed.
"Careful Dr. Namikaze. You are treading dangerously close to being sued for slander," said Kakizaki with Naruto smirking.
"How is it slander if it's true? Oh sure, deny it all you want, but we all know the truth, and the fact you would go to great lengths to lie just proves how right I am. So go ahead and sue me Higa-san. Unlike the others you threaten, I am not scared of lawyers, and courts with judges deciding whether or not I am in the wrong. Besides, doing so would only put your company at risk, and with the dirt I have on you since being under your employ will only make the public eye hate you even more," replied Naruto with Higa frowning and Kakizaki looking unsure if he was bluffing.
"You have nothing," replied Higa while his finger on the red button twitched and he had to fight back the urge to press down on it.
"I have everything. You really think I would spend all my time healing patients at your hospital and not have the means to dig around when possible? Hardly. I don't mind the task of healing all those poor people you have been secretly bleeding dry financially to cover your own financial losses to M.B.I. every single year. What I do mind is a pompous asshole like yourself acting like he is the best in the world at everything when in sad truth of the matter is...you aren't even a contender," said Naruto with Higa frowning further at the insults.
"If I'm not even a contender, then that means you aren't even worth M.B.I. sending any form of backup, or support to protect you from harm. Meaning...they won't shed a tear when I break you for your insults against me and my company Uzumaki Naruto," replied Higa before he hit the red button under his desk.
The doors to the room instantly locked, the windows doing the same while metal bands came out of the chair to bind Naruto's hands at the wrists, and legs at the ankles.
"Well now...this is certainly interesting. Is this the part where I become scared or angry? Where I either beg for my life so you don't torture me? Or maybe I should get so angry that I curse you out for this? Would you like that? Have you ever been cursed out by someone in multiple languages? I have always wanted to do that to someone I hated and I never get the opportunity in the past," commented Naruto while Higa narrowed his eyes before giving Kakizaki a nod with the man holding a syringe needle in his hand.
"This little serum here will knock you out for a good 48 hours. During that time, Higa-sama is going to have some of he best doctors paid under the table here at his company to dissect your body from top to bottom. They will make sure you are alive in a vegetative state where you can still keep your Sekirei alive, but will force them to serve Higa-sama in your place," said Kakizaki while moving over to Naruto and aimed for injecting him in the neck.
"If you know who I am, then you know this is a big mistake on your part. The moment you try to inject me with that needle...you are going to suffer dearly," remarked Naruto while Higa raised an eyebrow at him.
"I find that scenario to be highly unlikely given your current situation of being made helpless in my trap. Kakizaki, proceed as planned," ordered Higa while his Sekirei got into fighting stances should Naruto try something.
Kakizaki nodded and moved the needle to Naruto's neck to inject him with the pointy tip into his flesh. But when he tried, Naruto surprised them all by phasing out of existence, and freeing himself from the chair's bindings. Before Higa or Kakizaki could order the only two Sekirei in the room who could fight to do anything, Naruto was already doing something in the form of spin kicking the latter Ashikabi into a wall with enough force to leave a body imprint.
"How about now?" asked Naruto before decided to remove the Genjutsu from his body and show his true (humanized) form.
'Three eyes? Horns? What is he?' thought Higa while trying to mask his shock, awe, and the hint of curiosity of how Naruto was able to do what he did.
"You won't stop us this time!" said Toyotama, who moved on one side to flank him, and had bloodlust overflowing from her eyes.
"You took us out when we were both in front of you. Let's see how you handle the two o us attacking on either side!" exclaimed Ichiya with her own bloodlust being generated just from his presence alone.
While the two moved faster then the average human eye could track, Naruto was not some average human, and his eyes plus horns proved it. He could see them easily with his eyes. He could hear the air whisper their movements while they cut through it. He could feel their emotions while they moved to engage him in combat.
They were as good as beat and they didn't even know it yet.
Higa watched with continued awe and horror as his two strongest Sekirei, who acted as his enforcers on others he wished to bring under his thumb were defeated. Somehow Naruto summoned some kind of monk staff out of thin air and blocked Toyotama's own staff weapon with ease. At the same time, Ichiya's currently extended leg was caught by his bare hand, and held in place while the shocked Sekirei didn't expect Naruto to grab the limb much less hold onto it while she struggled to get free.
"You are far too young, inexperience, and overall weak to fight someone like me. Not surprising really. You have such a weak bond with Higa here that a naturally winged high number would best either of you with ease," said Naruto before kicking Ichiya in the face and sending her flying into the Plexiglas windows, which barely held from the impact of the Sekirei's body, and was now badly cracked to show just how close the woman was to being a splat on the sidewalk had it not held.
"Bastard!" exclaimed Toyotama while using her staff now offensively to fight Naruto, who blocked her every strike with his staff.
"Sorry. You have me confused with your Ashikabi over there," commented Naruto before disarming the woman of her weapon and struck Ichiya multiple times with his staff until one blow to the head knocked her out cold.
'Unbelievable. He defeated each Sekirei as if a Master of combat would defeat his first year students,' thought Kochou while seeing this from her seat with calculating eyes and analyzing every single action the man made.
"Care to reassess your findings about me Higa-san?" asked Naruto calmly while seeing the businessman in front of him now shifting uneasily in his chair.
"What do you want from me exactly? Money? A job promotion? Stock options from my company?" asked Higa while Naruto smirked at him.
"Nothing. I want absolutely nothing from you Higa. I wouldn't even use the slim piece of paper signifying how many shares of stock I owned of your company to wipe my ass with after a bad case of diarrhea," said Naruto before walking over to Higa with only a simple yet expensive desk separating the two of them.
"So you are going to kill me," surmised Higa while Naruto laughed at him.
"Kill you? Yes I will kill you. Not now, but eventually I will. As long as you still amuse me to some degree and as long as you don't try anything stupid...I won't kill you, Also, in case you are wondering on how I would do it, picture me rearranging your internal organs to explode one after another shortly after performing the surgery," replied Naruto with Higa scowling at the massive blow to his pride, yet was fearful all the same, and knew he was beaten by this...thing standing before him.
"Fine. Now get out of my office," replied Higa before he was viciously struck in the face by Naruto's staff and the force of it sent his chair back against the window.
"Still trying to give orders like you are the one in control. That's just sad and pathetic. Its no wonder Minaka, as crazy and psychotic as he is, has been able to run enormous, and stupidly simple circles around you," said Naruto while seeing Higa wipe the blood from the side of his mouth and glaring at him.
"Get out now! And for the record...you're fired!" exclaimed Higa angrily at Naruto, who simply smirked at him.
"Actually I'm not. I figured you would pull this when asking for a personal sit down with me here. I already quit working for you officially before I even entered the front door of this building," replied Naruto before walking to the double doors still locked and kicked them right off their hinges.
'Only a Sekirei should have the strength to do that!' thought Higa while seeing Naruto look back and smirk.
"For the record, I did that to simply make a point," replied Naruto before he was gone via Kamui and was gone from Higa's sight.
Leaving a fuming Higa, a stunned Kochou, and a barely conscious Kakizaki to assess just what exactly happened.
'Damn him! If that freak thinks I'm going to let this pass, then he is greatly mistaken, and will regret ever sparing my life. Mercy is for the weak and pathetic. I am neither of those things,' thought Higa before he went to his office phone and went to make a call to one of his many contacts within the mercenary world.
(With Naruto-Sometime Later)
The blonde stared at the city below him. His girls were either training, relaxing, or eating right now while waiting for his return. Part of him still couldn't believe he was part of this Sekirei Plan. That he was an Ashikabi. He also didn't like the idea of serving M.B.I. and helping Minaka go through with this stupid plan of his for the Sekirei. The only reason he didn't march up to the man, rip his guts out, and let out a primal roar to scare the shit out of any future enemies from attacking was due to the Sekirei as a whole. So many of them lost and forced to serve Ashikabi who were not meant to be their Ashikabi. There was also the risk of Minaka going so far as to collapse M.B.I. all together upon his death so the foreign powers of the world would be able to move in to claim the Sekirei for their own nefarious schemes.
He would have to correct that mistake eventually.
"You know that filthy human will retaliate soon. Why let him live to try and make the attempt?" commented Karasuba after she eventually had the resources of M.B.I. track down Naruto and had her sword drawn for battle.
"Hello Karasuba. Ready for another fight? Is that even allowed by Minaka? Or are you finally winged to an Ashikabi owned by M.B.I. to be your leash?" asked Naruto with the woman growling at him though it changed into a smirk.
"I was just winged. Thank you for saying as much. Natsuo was kind of enough to be my Ashikabi because his hatred for the world at large matches my own," replied Karasuba while Naruto nodded while his Byakugan Eye pulsed before inspecting the power of her Tama.
"I see. Is that why your bond with him is barely acknowledgeable? Is that why you have yet to reach your true potential as a Sekirei through the bond?" asked Naruto while he saw Karasuba was indeed powerful before the winging and in theory from what Matsu had explained should have become even stronger.
Alas, her choice in Ashikabi, who he suspected was not the one she was meant for, did not strengthen Karasuba, or make the woman more powerful. Not only that, but the man in question was not a lover of women, and from what Matsu told him about Natsuo when she did an investigation on him...he was filled with hate. A hatred for everything in the world that Natsuo felt should burn simply because his lover was not in it anymore. The bond between a Sekirei and their Ashikabi is one of love for one another regardless. But this man hated everything, including his Sekirei that was Karasuba, and was only doing this because Minaka paid him a stupid amount of money.
That and Naruto suspected Minaka might have hinted about a way to bring Natsuo's lover back from the dead. Which was totally absurd! That Jutsu, much less the ability to find an alternative to the Edo Tensei was taken away from the world when Naruto took chakra away from humanity.
"I see that third eye of yours is just more then just for show. It has the ability to see into me and my Tama," commented Karasuba while ignoring the fact he could tell so much about it using that eye.
"It sees many things Karasuba. All three of my eyes do. Though I doubt you want to hear about them if your sword being drawn is any indication," remarked Naruto while seeing Karasuba smirking at him further with an increase in bloodlust.
"You're right. I don't want to talk. I want to fight. You bested me twice already because I underestimated you the first time and was exhausted from training prior to our second encounter," replied Karasuba while she got ready to attack him with all her might.
"Let me make an educated guess here by saying you are physically minty fresh today and want to test me at your best," surmised Naruto with Karasuba's grin becoming more feral.
"Miya and Yume were the only two capable of besting me in combat before you came along. One has retired and become a widow running an Inn. while the other gave her life foolishly for an airheaded girl stupid enough to make an equally stupid promise to me," said Karasuba before charging him with her sword ready to cut him in half down the middle if it made contact.
Which it didn't.
Naruto didn't phase out like he normally would, but rather used his superior speed, and was behind Karasuba. Spinning around, Karasuba tensed her legs, moving forward with a sword thrust, which Naruto side stepped with easy, and easily jumped straight up when the crazy woman performed a spin thrust to try stabbing him again. Landing on her sword with a mocking smirk on his face, Naruto leaped over Karasuba, and was now standing on the edge of the building.
"For the record, I know all about your promise to Musubi. She has actually told me about it and has been conflicted as of late in terms of wanting to keep the promise, but at the same time knows it is not possible. I told her promises made on lies, deception, or other various situations where the promise had no intention of being fulfilled does not have to be honored," said Naruto while Karasuba frowned at him.
"You convinced her to break the promise she made with me," accused Karasuba with Naruto smirking at her.
"Please! We both know that promise was not reachable. You had no intention of letting the promise become reality," replied Naruto while the Black Sekirei frowned since that was true.
Musubi didn't need to know that.
"It gave her drive and purpose," remarked Karasuba while Naruto scoffed.
"It gave her a distraction which only you benefit. Nothing more. Not that it matters since Musubi is getting her head on straight thanks to me and Yume," replied Naruto while the Black Sekirei's eyes widened.
"Yume is dead! She gave her Tama to that weak idiot Musubi!" exclaimed Karasuba angrily.
"That she did, but what is left of Yume through her Tama still exists in Musubi, and is fixing up the girl's Tama along with some other perks too. Whatever Yume doesn't do, I have been doing in her place, and helping Musubi become a pretty strong fighter. It won't be long until she can move and fight like Yume in many aspects," replied Naruto with Karasuba seething in rage.
"She will never be Yume's equal or better!" exclaimed Karasuba while Naruto just kept on smirking at her.
"Why are you so afraid? Is it because you fear the thought of being left behind again in terms of strength and power? Then you shouldn't have allowed yourself to be winged by some hate filled Ashikabi like Natsuo, who only loves men," replied Naruto while he saw Karasuba seething at his words since she had not gotten the power boost expected from the winging given to Sekirei by their Ashikabi.
Instead, she felt her potential was being blocked. Restrained by the very things Naruto had mentioned just now. A barrier that fed off such things the more Karasuba tried to push past them, feeding it every time, making her feel like she was moving through quicksand, or possibly thick sludge.
"Shut up!" exclaimed Karasuba with Naruto dodging her with ease despite being on the edge of the building the sword strikes aimed at taking off his legs.
"Why? Because I'm right? Or is it because you realized too late there is no going back?" asked Naruto in a mocking tone while he continued to dodge the angry Sekirei.
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" exclaimed Karasuba while getting angrier with each passing second.
"Its actually a shame you weren't reacting to me at all. I would have gladly accepted you as my Sekirei. I would have taken away all that hatred in your heart. Not to mention that I would have fucked you so stupid, the mere thought of hating the world, and wanting it to burn would seem pointless in your eyes," replied Naruto while Karasuba looked like she was getting ready to explode.
"DIE!" yelled Karasuba before unleashing a powerful wave of energy from her sword that cut into the building rooftop all the way to Naruto.
"Shinra Tensei!" exclaimed Naruto with his hand stretched out and sent the attack flying backward toward Karasuba, who leaped out of the way before it could hit.
"What do you know of hatred?! What do you know of pain?!" demanded Karasuba, as she rushed toward him with her sword drawn.
Only to be punched in the gut with the force sending her straight back in the opposite direction right off the rooftop to one next to it. She hit an air conditioning unit, the metal dented upon impact, and the sword Karasuba used was now clattering on the ground five feet in front of her downed form. Struggling to stand, she didn't see Naruto appear in front of her, grab the front of the Black Sekirei's trench coat, and land another punch to her gut. Karasuba would have cried out in pain if the air wasn't knocked out of her, but even if it wasn't the case, Naruto wasn't going to let her have the chance, and was hit again and again and again repeatedly with such force that it knocked the bloodthirsty woman right off the ground.
"You want to talk about hatred? About pain? I tolerated a place that hated me since the day I was born. I came from nothing! I had nothing, but the clothing on my back, and second rate hand-me-downs people threw away in their trash. I had to work hundreds of times harder then anyone else around me and was mocked for my efforts. My convictions in what I wanted to do with my life were laughed at by those who thought I was lower then the crap underneath their sandals. My various teachers were either very late, lazy in their training, were perverted, peeped on women, or entertained themselves at the brothel houses when they were suppose to be training me. Instead, they dumped me off to others to do the work, or gave me complex material and said 'Here you go Naruto. Figure it out on your own!' before running off to do whatever they wanted in terms of guilty pleasures. When the time came to ascend to my position of greatness, they tried to take the credit until I made it clear they did nothing, and made sure their legacy was one of shame while I became a God amongst men. I took the hatred of my enemies and turned it into crow and humble pie, which I shoved down their throats, and made them choke on until the day they died! said Naruto before throwing her onto the ground.
"I...I wo-wou-would have...killed them...all sooner," said Karasuba before looking up to see Naruto standing over her.
"As expected from someone with no restraint on their hatred. I am no stranger to hatred Karasuba. Neither are you. The only difference is I took what they gave me and turned it into something they couldn't comprehend or stop when it gained momentum. And they tried. Believe me when I say they tried. It blew up in their faces. Beating Yume in terms of beliefs will never happen. She will always better then you in terms of convictions and beliefs. I've seen enough of what she stands for to know you will never beat someone like that. But you can still challenge Miya. You want to best Miya in terms of being better? You want to best the woman who left her Sekirei to Minaka's machinations all because she lost her husband and let the grief push her to watch things from the sidelines?" asked Naruto with Karasuba nodding if just barely.
"Yes. I want to beat Miya. I have wanted to outshine her for years. To show how pathetic she has become in staying out of the fight. I always hated how she left us to the mercy of that lunatic all because of her 'husband' died. How she changed from taking up the sword to sweeping with a broom. Miya could have stayed at M.B.I. to watch over us. Hell, she should have stayed!" replied Karasuba angrily while trying to get up off the ground.
"I know Karasuba. I have seen it before in other people too. I'm not excusing Miya for her actions regarding the other Sekirei currently under Minaka's thumb, but at the same time I won't condemn her for it either," said Naruto before extending his hand toward her and watched the woman slowly take it despite the fact the Black Sekirei's pride screamed to shove the appendage away.
"You implied I could one day be stronger then Miya? So how I do it? How do I get to be stronger then Miya? How can I make the prude woman eat my own version of crow and humble pie?" asked Karasuba with Naruto smirking before walking over to the woman's sword and kicking it up into his hand.
"Simple. Abandon your hatred. Embrace the love of others. Embrace the love people have for you and return for them. Fight for that special person in your life...and you will wield the strength and power of ten Miya's in her prime," answered Naruto with Karasuba scowling at him before taking the sword.
"It sounds like Yume's preachy 'love conquerors all' garbage," commented Karasuba with Naruto letting out a chuckle while putting a hand on the woman's shoulder and used his healing chakra to take away the pain her body was feeling.
"Well I wouldn't call it that, but close enough. Besides, she not really wrong about that. I knew someone long ago, who came from nothing, and lived a cold wintery place for most of her life as a child. This girl's Mother was dead, the Father killed her Mother, and tried to kill the girl because of the powers she wielded. Inherited from her Mother, hence why the girl's Father killed her Mother. In any case, she was found by someone, who saw the potential in her to be great, and trained her to be as such. He gave her purpose. He gave her the ability to do something great with these skills taught to this girl. She was totally devoted to him. I fought her and barely won. When the time came to truly beat her or rather kill her in battle...I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it because I knew this girl from earlier on in my travels and knew deep down her heart was pure. When the person she held close to her, the person who had trained her to be the warrior I fought in battle was in danger, the girl had no strength left, no power left, and shouldn't be able to move in the slightest. But just when it seemed that the person she cared about was going die in battle, she called upon reserves deep within herself I don't think anyone knew was there, and she moved at a speed one so tired from fighting should have to give her life. She gave her life for that special person and even upon her death...she whispered his name with pride and love," explained Naruto while Karasuba looked away.
"Sounds like a waste of a purpose. What's your point?" demanded Karasuba impatiently before caught by surprise in being backhanded violently by Naruto.
"If you disrespect the person I care about again, I will rip your Tama out from your chest, and crush the damn thing in my hand with you still alive long enough to watch it happen. Got it?" threatened Naruto coldly with Karasuba rubbing her mouth before spitting out some blood.
"Fine! Now what is your point of the damn story anyway?" replied Karasuba with Naruto sighing at her attitude.
"My point is, the girl I cared about tapped into a power deep within, and all because she was protecting someone precious to her. She even told me once that when we fight for someone precious to us...we become truly strong. You want to beat Miya? You want to outclass Sekirei # 01? Then find someone precious to you and will return such feelings to you. Miya doesn't have that anymore and look at her now. Sweeping the front of her Inn. instead of wielding her sword. Instead of slicing through bodies, tanks, boats, buildings, and anything else with a weapon like a true warrior, she is acting like a humble landlady widow. Is that the level of pathetic you want to be in with all that hate in you? With all the hate Natsuo has been sending your way?" said Naruto with Karasuba glaring at him.
"Okay! Okay! I get the point! Unfortunately, I am now stuck with Natsuo, and like you said earlier he hates everything. Including me!" stated Karasuba while poking him in the chest.
"Simple. I unwing you. Truth be told, your power was stronger without him," remarked Naruto before summoning his staff into his hands.
'I thought as much. I was so angry at losing to this guy the first two times, I didn't give two shits who I had for an Ashikabi. I thought Natsuo's hate for the world would give us ground to stand on, but all I got was sludge from his bullshit,' thought Karasuba before feeling the top of Naruto's monk staff touch her head and his chakra traveling into her mind.
"The key to breaking your bond with your Ashikabi is to target your mind before moving to the Tama where your power resides. Mentally, you think of Natsuo as your Ashikabi and recall everything about him that you love. This in turn, helps increase the power of the Tama accordingly, depending on the love you feel from Natsuo, and what he feels for you in a reciprocating fashion. Because of particular...choice in an Ashikabi, you have in fact received less from the winging then what you had before the winging, and thus the bond is so frail...well let's just say a sickly near death child could break it," replied Naruto with the man focusing on the bond Karasuba had with Natsuo and destroyed it and used his chakra as a buffer system so the woman's Tama wouldn't shut down in the process.
She was made of sterner stuff after all.
"That was weird," remarked Karasuba while Naruto shrugged.
"You were the first Sekirei to have that done to them while awake," commented Naruto with Karasuba now feeling unsure of what to do next.
What could she do next?
On one hand, Karasuba was now free to find a new Ashikabi. One, who could try to love her, and hopefully wasn't a weak sack of crap. Let Benitsubasa and Haihane have Natsuo for an Ashikabi. For one, he wouldn't touch them like the pink haired flat chest moans about everyday in wanting, and Haihane didn't really care in the first place. Those two drank from the 'my Ashikabi is wonderful' Kool-Aid thanks to M.B.I. and the Adjustors feeding them that crap. Karasuba had never been that way even before being winged by Natsuo and didn't think highly of anyone regardless if they were potential Ashikabi or not.
But the real question for Karasuba now was...who in Shinto Teito had the strength to be worthy of the Black Sekirei? Who was worthy of being Karasuba's Ashikabi? Who could put up with her and live through the first day and every other day without being cut into tiny pieces?
Turning to look at Naruto, the answer it seemed to appear quite literally in front of her face, and a smile formed while staring at the blonde haired primordial God.
"You'll do," remarked Karasuba before she suddenly was in front of him and kissed the shocked man before her wings exploded out of her back once more.
'Oh boy. The others will not like this,' thought Naruto knowing at least two women in his life who would not approve of Karasuba being part of the flock.
"This is the pledge of my blade, exterminate the sworn enemy of my Ashikabi!" were the words coming out of Karasuba's mouth once the kiss ended.
'Oh yeah. I'm screwed,' thought Naruto knowing he was going to get Hell from the others like Tsukiumi, Matsu, Uzume, and maybe even the cold shoulder from Akitsu though he was sure that wouldn't happen.
Musubi would be the only one ecstatic about this, but it would be hard to tell with Yume popping up in terms of influencing the girl. Since Yume and Karasuba were part of the same squad for awhile, it may just draw out the spirit of Sekirei # 08 out for a time.
"Yeeeessssss. This is it! The power you spoke of earlier. The love Yume said existed within an Ashikabi. Deep down I thought you were the one when we first met, but was unsure. The anger I felt the second time around masked my feelings for a reaction. You are and always were meant to be my Ashikabi," stated Karasuba before kissing him again and was actually crying at the sensation of it all.
Winging Natsuo and being winged by Naruto was a huge difference in her mind in terms of feelings. It was like comparing night and day. It was like she had gone from walking in sludge to being bathed in warm purified water. It took away all the cracks, the aches, the pains, and the torment her mind had faced since being unleashed on the world when defending the Sekirei spaceship from those foreign governments.
It was like being reborn. Free from the past. Ready to make a new future for herself with the primordial God who was the only person in the world worthy of her love.
"Come on. Let's go home Karasuba. Knowing Takami, she will be calling me any second now, and demanding an answer to why I suddenly pouched you from Natsuo along with the primary Discipline Squad," remarked Naruto while the woman purred into his now and held him close while kissing the side of his face.
"I don't care what she says. I don't care what Minaka threatens to do. I will kill them all for you. Just give the word and I will lay every scientist and soldier at your feet dead. I just want to spend the rest of my life now with you...my Ashikabi," breathed Karasuba while happy for the first time about something not surrounded by killing people in...well forever!
It actually felt...nice!
Cue vibrating cell phone to ruin the moment.
'And there we go with the ruined romantic feeling moment. Its either Matsu or Takami for the win and yell,' thought Naruto before flipping the phone open and put it at a arm length distance from his ear.
"JUST WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING UZUMAKI NARUTO?!" yelled Takami with all the anger she could muster.
'And its Takami for the yell. The Grand Prize? Yelling at me like I pissed in her coffee or gave her an ancient STD not even M.B.I. can cure,' thought Naruto sarcastically.
"ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME NARUTO?! I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE SOME SORT OF GOD! WHAT RIGHT DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE TO NOT ONLY UNWING KARASUBA, BUT THEN HAVE THE BALLS TO WING HER SOON AFTER?! ANSWER ME!" yelled Takami with Naruto sighing.
"If you are going to yell at me like the angry bitch you sound like right now, I'm going to hang up after telling you to fuck off. Now either talk normally into the phone or I hang up and crush the cell phone in my hands. I don't want or have to deal with your angry pissed off woman tirade until tomorrow so please do continue to yell before I end the one sided conversation," replied Naruto while meeting silence on the other end and was sure the woman there was fuming heavily at his answer.
Not surprising really since most people would tremble, wet, or shit their pants in fear at the sight if not sound of Takami being pissed off. But since Naruto had seen worse from other women in his life...Takami was barely a one second blip on his "women to be afraid of" mental radar.
"Why...did you...unwing...and then...wing...Karasuba?" demanded Takami in a lower toned voice through gritted teeth and the sound of her breathing getting heavy echoed into the cell phone.
"Better. Though you should really cut back on the smoking. Your heavy breathing shows signs of those cigs being unhealthy for your lungs," commented Naruto calmly while he heard the woman growling at the feel of her temper being a few moments away from being let loose.
"Naruto!" exclaimed Takami into the phone.
"Fine! If you must know, I unwinged Karasuba because Natsuo was making her weaker. Not stronger. As for winging her to my side, Karasuba did that herself after determining I was her Ashikabi from the start," replied Naruto with Takami groaning at him.
"I thought as much shortly after your previous two encounters with her. Now you have a small army of single digit Sekirei under your command with two double numbered ones. Minaka is going crazy about. And not the 'I'm angry!' crazy like I thought he would be, but the 'I'm loving every second of this!' crazy that doesn't bode well for anyone," said Takami knowing Minaka had something planned here and it wasn't going to be good.
"I figured as much. Did you at least look at my report on Higa's activities and his illegal actions surrounding the game?" asked Naruto since he needed to switch topics.
"Yes I did. Though why you spared him when everyone else would have crushed the fool if in your position surprises me," replied Takami with Naruto smirking.
"I want to see the man squirm. Higa acts like he is untouchable. That his wealth and the power of his company along with any Sekirei he wings will protect him from harm. I put a dent in his armor of superiority. Next time, I'm going to shatter that armor, and then I'm going to shatter him before breaking his company into little tiny pieces," said Naruto, as he planned to make the idiots of today his playthings like a cat does with its prey from time to time.
"Just be on your guard. You may have drawn first blood and given Higa a black eye he won't soon forget, but the man won't take it lightly. He will make you pay for it. Or at least try to make you pay for it. Damn the rules of the Sekirei Plan," warned Takami with Naruto nodding.
"I know. Which is why if Higa does try anything, Karasuba will be the one to make him regret it before the end of his life leaves the fool," replied Naruto while Karasuba smiled at him since she would really like to run her blade through quite a few fools in Shinto Teito who called themselves Ashikabi.
"Don't forget about Mikogami. While you haven't been bothering him lately, he lost his chance to grab Sekirei # 107 Shiina, and will no doubt blame that on you," remarked Takami since she knew the other major players in this game would soon focus on him over each other.
'Poor Takami. She doesn't realize I did sabotage Mikogami's attempts at nabbing the bird in his clutches. I had Matsu monitor the brat's cell phone calls and track him when in his limo before having her use that technological interfacing ability of hers to make the limo breakdown. Damn brat was lucky his driver managed to stop the car before it crashed into something,' thought Naruto with a smirk on his face.
"Also, I would ask you stay away from my children. I don't need them getting involved in our work," added Takami with Naruto nodding.
"Children? As in more than one?" asked Naruto with Takami sighing and muttering what sounded like "damn it!" into the speaker.
"Yes. You already met Minato. My daughter Yukari is also in Shinto Teito. She was the one who winged Shiina oddly enough. A natural winging it seems. Still, I worry about the two of them since they both have very powerful Sekirei, and I fear for what someone will do if they learn of the parental connection I have with either of my children," said Takami while Naruto nodding since it wouldn't be the first time people preyed on the children of their enemies to get to the parents.
"I get it Takami. Trust me I do. It is one of the oldest tricks in the book in terms of getting to the enemy. Don't worry. I will keep my involvement with your children to a minimum. If either or both them get into any trouble, I will help if need be, and ensure nothing bad happens to them. Your son is actually an okay guy. A bit spineless, but still an okay guy," said Naruto with Takami muttering "Sounds about right." into the phone, and sighing yet again.
"I may have...put the fear of women and other things into him," remarked Takami with Naruto chuckling and noticed Karasuba giving him a hungry look.
It didn't help she had one of her hands in his pants and slowly stroking his cock.
"Really? Wow! Imagine that. Who would have thought you would do that to your son? Not me!" replied Naruto in a teasing tone.
"Naruto," threatened Takami in an angry tone.
"Well, as much as I would love to keep talking about this family issue Takami, I have an important matter to attend to, and it would be rude of me to keep Karasuba waiting any longer. Talk to you tomorrow," replied Naruto before hanging up and focusing fully on the woman hungry for him.
"No more interruptions. I'm going crazy right now. Claim me!" demanded Karasuba in a hungry lustful tone.
"As you wish Kara-chan. Hold on," replied Naruto, as he used Kamui, and brought them to his hotel suite while holding Karasuba tightly so she wouldn't stumble from the sudden transition.
"Wow! That was intense," remarked Karasuba while Naruto smirked.
"If you thought that was intense, just wait until we get to the bedroom," replied Naruto with a knowing smirked and kissed the woman passionately on the lips.
"Na-ru-to!" exclaimed the angry tone of Tsukiumi at the sight of her husband kissing the silver haired woman.
"Hello Tsukiumi-chan. How are you doing my beautiful water nymph?" asked Naruto with Tsukiumi's face going from angry red to embarrassed red while tsundere protocols activating in terms of emotional responses.
"I-I am fine! W-W-Why wouldn't I be fine? I am the strongest and...and I...WHY IS SHE HERE!" demanded Tsukiumi while pointing an angry finger at Karasuba once she made eye contact with the smiling woman.
"Because I'm his Sekirei and he is my Ashikabi silly. Meaning what is yours is now mine to enjoy," commented Karasuba in a teasing tone while Tsukiumi looked irate.
"No! He is not yours, you harlot! I will not accept another concubine moving in to claim my husband!" exclaimed Tsukiumi angrily at the idea of sharing Naruto with yet another woman.
"Tsukiumi stop it. You know the rules. Besides, do you really think so lowly of me, your own husband, of being unloving to you?" asked Naruto with Tsukiumi going from angry to embarrassed and began pressing her fingers together.
And channeling the cuteness of his late wife Hinata. Damn he missed that look!
"I-I would never accuse you of that husband. B-But you have so many of us already to handle your every need. Why did you get another Sekirei?" asked Tsukiumi shyly while Naruto took one of her hands and kissed it to make the woman get even more flustered.
"Because it was the right thing to do. Don't worry my Tsukiumi-chan. I will always care about you no matter what. You are and always will be my darling wife. Okay?" replied Naruto with Tsukiumi nodding quickly and blushing further.
"Y-Yes husband," replied Tsukiumi before seeing Naruto make a small army of clones.
"Good. Now be a good wife and go with my Shadow Clones to inform the others of what has happened so they can all have a piece of me to spend quality time with tonight," said Naruto with Tsukiumi nodding before grabbing the one Shadow Clone she wanted and quickly marched to where the others were located with the group of Shadow Clones following her.
"You sure know which buttons to push Naruto-kun," remarked Karasuba with a knowing smile.
"As you yourself will soon find out Kara-chan," replied Naruto before he led her to the Master Bedroom where the two would cement their bond.
And for the first time in a long time...Karasuba, the Black Sekirei herself found out what it was like to not wish for the world to burn. She found out what it was like to be loved by another. One who accepted her for her. All of her. All of the fire. All of the wrath. All of the fury. All of the rage. Everything! His power had consumed it all! Snuffing out all of the hatred that fueled the dark fire which had made her so feared. Taking what had made the fire so corrupt and purified it with his love for her! She now possessed a brand new fire that would no longer burn everyone around her like it did before when around others.
No. She would use this power to destroy her Ashikabi's enemies and just his enemies. No longer would Karasuba simply lash out and kill everyone with her sword just for being weak. No longer would she give into the bloodlust when in battle.
Just those who truly deserved it. Just those who would wrong her Ashikabi.
(With Matsu and the Others)
"How can he wing her? She's part of the Discipline Squad!" exclaimed Matsu fearfully at this news of Karasuba joining their group while cuddling up with her Ashikabi's Shadow Clone and was only slightly calm due to the massage she was getting on her shoulders by him while sitting on his lap...naked.
"Ah...Master wanted to help," commented Akitsu while she was in the lap of the Shadow Clone of her choosing and snuggled up to him happily while one of his hands one on her breasts to grope them.
"Easy for you to say. You are considered the 'Head wife' among us. But Karasuba is also a very dangerous Sekirei for a reason. She might just try to usurp that position from you if you're not careful Akitsu," said Uzume, who was in a similar position like Akitsu, but had her Shadow Clone groping her butt too.
"Ah...so long as I have Master's love I am happy," replied Akitsu while the Naruto she was with placed a kiss on her neck.
"I'm so happy for Karasuba-sama. She was really angry most of the time. She would try to hide it from me when I was around her. But now Naruto-sama has shown her love and can see what I see," replied Musubi happily since she knew Karasuba was always filled with hatred and anger until now.
And yes she was only wearing a pair of pink panties while her Shadow Clone groping both breasts.
"Silence thy chattering scatterbrain! This new concubine Naruto has acquired is most fortunate that I, his loving wife am willing to listen to my husband regarding his desire to bring about the happiness of the Black Sekirei. If it were up to me, the harlot would be cast down by my power!" declared Tsukiumi while glaring at the others, but was stopped when the Naruto she was with told her to stop via leg he was sensually rubbing a small slap.
"Hey! Don't call me names Tsukiumi. I'm only telling the truth. Right Naruto-sama?" said Musubi while looking at her Naruto for support.
"That's right Musubi-chan. Karasuba has been tormented most of her life. She may not look it given the madness in her eyes, but the signs are there if you know where the find them. Remember, when the First Discipline Squad was formed, the only true adult among the Sekirei was Miya, and the rest had yet to be fully born. The following four Sekirei who joined her were infants, but were forced to grow at an accelerated rate into adulthood by Minaka, had countless amounts of information shoved into their heads, and then told to go out into the world to kill all invaders on the island. In truth, Sekirei # 02 through # 05 were all basically child soldiers at the time, and killed a lot of people in defending the island from foreign powers," explained Naruto with Matsu nodding since that was exactly what happened.
"It wasn't easy coming to terms with what we did when it was over. We shrugged it off when fighting with our conviction that defending the island justified killing so many. I actually came out moderately okay because I killed the least. Sure I caused the crashes of assault choppers, fighter jets, troop transports, and other vehicles I could hack into. But they crashed into the ocean or onto the island without any real death toll. Out of all the others in the squad who killed the most the rank went Miya, Karasuba, Kazehana, and Mutsu in that very order. Miya didn't care who she killed because she knew what it was we signed up for in defending the island. Karasuba was easily consumed by bloodlust and hatred for humanity when Minaka basically told us what these foreign powers wanted to do with us if they won. Kazehana-tan became an alcoholic, which got worse when she was rejected by Minaka after she asked him to wing her, and left following his refusal to become her Ashikabi. Mutsu was always an oddity so I don't know what was going on in his head at the time," added Matsu since she was there and knew everything that went on during those times.
And since Miya wasn't here to stop her from talking about the old days, it didn't seem like a bad thing to air out for the others to understand.
"All in all, Karasuba's mind is the worst one off, and she really needs someone in her life to help heal it. So please just give her a chance. All of you would want the chance if roles were reversed," said the Naruto holding Uzume lovingly.
"Fine! You have a point," conceded Uzume since she couldn't argue with that logic.
"You can count on me Naruto-sama!" exclaimed Musubi happily.
"As an honorable woman and loyal wife to her husband, I Tsukiumi will obey thy wish, and assist in helping the new concubine gain her footing with us. But know this! I will not allow her to usurp my position and be lower then the ice woman!" replied Tsukiumi while pointing at Akitsu.
"Ah...I will help Master," added Akitsu.
"I will help too Naruto-tan. Though a little incentive via experimentation might also go a long way to motivate us better," remarked Matsu while giggling perversely and made all the Naruto's in the room smirk since he knew they would all like that very much right now.
Not surprising really since the girls were mostly naked and being groped by their Shadow Clones of the man they called Ashikabi.
"I see. Well, I do like motivating you girls to do better when asked," replied the Shadow Clone of Naruto holding Tsukiumi giving the blonde girl's rump a firm squeeze to make the woman squeak out in surprise.
"Husband!" exclaimed Tsukiumi in surprise at the sudden act, but was quickly silenced from protesting further when she was kissed on the lips, and was gone moments later with him to their assigned bedroom
An act that was repeated by the other Narutos with their Sekirei. The only exception here being Matsu since they had all been in the red haired woman's room at the time meeting to discuss the addition of the Black Sekirei into their flock.
"Now that they are gone...let's experiment in extracting your hot cream DNA!" exclaimed Matsu before she focused her efforts on unleashing her perverted desires on the Shadow Clone of Naruto knowing its memories would transfer to him when dispelled.
Not that it mattered overall since this would be a long night of wonderful memories for all of them.
(A/N: YAY! A nice update for all of you. Yes I know it seems I'm speeding things up a bit, but this is how it went. Plus, I felt the need for Naruto spy on Higa was coming to an end now that Chiho is free, and out of the bastard's reach. So there you have it. Until next time...PEACE!)
